*Your POV*

"Hey…(Y/n)...(Y/n) wake up!"

You opened your eyes and saw Brenan above you. "What's up?"

"Farmer boy is gone."

You blinked and sat up. "What? Where?"

Brenan shrugged. "Who knows-maybe we were too much for him-"

"Found something!" Jade rang.

You got up and walked over to her, finding a note. You picked it up. "...It says that they took him hostage." As you began reading over the rest of it, Brenan tore the paper away from you. "Hey-"

"Don't 'hey' me. This is a trap waiting to happen!" He folded it and began to tear it apart.

You snapped and dived forward, wrestling for it. "GIVE IT BACK!"

"NO! YOU'RE ACTING LIKE A DAMN CHILD-"

"HE HELPED US-"

"HE KNEW THE RISK (Y/N)!" He kicked you off and you fell against the wall.

You growled and stood up again, only finding him tearing it up even more. "NO-"

"(Y/n)." You looked over to Jade. "You need to calm do-"

"No, he's tearing up the only thing that'll lead us to Mark-"

"These people don't seem to be the type to just let him live (Y/n). He's probably already gone…"

You stared at her and then the torn up pieces on the ground. "..." You shook your head. "No...he can't be gone. I won't allow it."

Before anyone could say anything else, you took off. You had seen a couple of the instructions-you just needed to figure out the rest of it on the way. 'I'm coming for ya buddy...Just hold on a little longer.'

*Time Skip!*

You soon arrived at the destination but, as expected, no one was there. You knew you were early-you had to set up your plan. After all, you were alone-that didn't mean you had to be the one with the lower hand though.

You quickly began searching around the area and making some small traps out of the forestry. It was probably a good thing you were friends with Mark at the time when you were training-he helped you figure out how to make these a lot faster and with plenty more consequence when activated. As long as you could reach them…

You looked around at your traps as the time came closer. You would get Mark out of there. And if it was a trap...well, you'd have a trap waiting for them too.

You sat on the ground next to your first trap and waited patiently, watching your surroundings calmly. You were going to be ok...Mark was going to be ok...Everything would be ok.

You heard a stick snap and you looked over to see a few ninja waiting. "Where are the others? We strictly said for all of you to be here."

You slowly got up and stared in his brown eyes calmly. "The others are not here. They suspected it was a trap so they didn't bother."

He stared at you skeptically before muttering to a couple of the others. They began going around quickly, checking for anyone possibly in the area before reporting back with, obviously, no one.

Once he was done chatting with them, you piped up, "Where is the farmer?"

The leader looked back to you. "We'll show him when we're ready-"

"Either you show me him now or I leave."

He glared at you before snapping his fingers, bringing a body in a bag that was still moving. He opened the top and pulled out Mark by his hair. Mark yelped some and struggled some more. "Hey! Quit that-"

"Shut it," the leader growled, seeming to grab more hair to pull up on purpose. He looked back over to you. "He's here as you can see. And chattier than ever."

"Listen here-"

"NO YOU LISTEN AND SHUT UP!" He dropped him and Mark fell to the ground, hard. He growled and looked back over to you. "Did you bring what we asked?"

You nodded and pulled out the scroll you had stolen from them. "It's here."

He held his hand open. "Give it."

"...How do I know you'll return him?"

"Do you really want to chance his death?!" He began pressing Mark's head into the dirt.

"Ow ow ow, hey, what are, ow, get off-OW!"

You threw over the scroll and he stopped. After checking inside, he nodded and threw Mark across to you.

You watched them for a little longer before quickly bending down to Mark's side and taking apart the bonds. You could hear movement around you but you didn't care-you needed to make sure he was ok.

You sat him up and made him look at you. "Mark are you ok?"

He coughed up some dirt and nodded. "Yeah, the damn bastard." He shook his head. "Why did you come? You knew this was a trap."

You nodded. "I couldn't just let them kill you Mark. You know you would've done the same for me."

"But (Y/n)-"

You picked up his face more. "Trust me Mark." As you felt someone getting closer behind you, you glanced over to your trap next to you before looking back to Mark. He blinked for a moment before glancing down and...smirking.

He knew exactly what you were thinking.

You quickly pulled on the string and let it release, dropping a good chunk of rocks on the ninja behind you. As you heard him grunt in pain, you grabbed Mark and took off, setting off more traps as you flew past. "GET THEM!"

You and Mark had managed to get pretty far, laughing as you heard them getting caught in your traps. "(Y/n) you're insane!"

"I only learned from the best Fischbach!"

He laughed and still managed to keep up with you.

But...despite your efforts, you found that they had more hiding farther out and, once again, you were surrounded.

Your grip tightened on Mark's hand tightened some as the leader once again came into view. "So, are you done running away now or are you prepared to die?" the leader asked.

Mark tried to get in front of you but you kept him to the side, trying to find any possible way out of this. "(Y/n) let me-"

"No Mark, there has to be another way-"

You heard someone snap their fingers and saw daggers headed Mark's way. Before you could have any time to react, the daggers were intercepted in the air and brought down. You blinked and looked to see...You smirked. It was Brenan and Jade.

They came down from their positions and began scanning the area. "Hey, (Y/n), remember that battle down in Kohai?"

You smirked and nodded, taking out your weapon of choice. "Yep!"

Before any of the others could react, you all attacked head on.

*Mark's POV*

I barely managed to get out of the way as they started their attack. They moved incredibly fast to the point where it was hard to even keep track of them. Had it not been for their outfits, I would've lost them in the crowd.

One by one they were taking out their opponents and, eventually I joined in the fight as well. I may have not had any skills as a ninja but it didn't take too much to get a good cut into someone with a katana. Happily provided by the enemy-

I drove the katana through one and began to battle with a couple of others on the side. It was almost like back at home-except the mounds of hay were humans and the broomstick was a sharp blade.

Mere minutes seemed to pass as they grew less in numbers. The traps (Y/n) had set out must've taken out a good chunk…

I glanced over to her to see she was surrounded. As I was about to make my way over though, I saw Jade step in from behind one and slit his throat open and-

I looked away and gagged a little. Ok, blood is definitely fine but guts...he was already dying!

I shook my head and looked back to see they were all down and I smiled some. These were our ninja…

We went on for a while longer before I checked in on (Y/n) again. She was facing off a ninja who shared her weapon but behind her there was someone preparing to throw knives her way. There wasn't any way she was going to be able to dodge those-not when she was fighting him!

I had to do something.

I took off.

I knew I couldn't make it to the guy on time to disarm him but that didn't mean it was hopeless-I would just have to-

He threw his knives.

I jumped.

I could hear (Y/n) move as the kunai cut into me all over. Some merely scraped me while others embedded their way into my skin. I released something of a yelp before landing against the ground.

Everything was in pain as I saw the ninja get taken down right before me and soon enough, I saw (Y/n) coming over to me and pick-

"Ah-ah (Y-Y/n)-" I whined, feeling more blood trying to escape from the wounds.

"S-S-Sorry-dammit-Mark why-why did you do that?!" She made me face her and I gazed into her (e/c) eyes kindly. I even smiled to try and take away that worried look on her face.

It didn't matter at that moment to me how much pain I was in or how I might be dying.

All that mattered in that moment was trying to get her to smile...just once…

She trembled as she held me. "Mark...Mark you...you idiot…" she whimpered.

"Well, I think-" I coughed a little. "I think I'm more of a hero than an idiot..." She shook her head and held onto me tighter. I hadn't ever seen her like this…

I...I really didn't want this to be the way we said goodbye…

I raised a hand to her face weakly and muttered, "Don't cry...this isn't goodbye…" I wiped away some of the tears on her face as she continued staring down to me. "I'll only be gone a little while but...we'll see each other again. You're not-" I coughed a bit harsher and she held my hand. "You're not getting rid of me that easily…"

A small laugh left her and graced her lips with a little smile.

"There it is…there...it…" I felt my hand leave her face as darkness began to consume my vision and soon, all I could hear was this loud ringing before everything just-

Stopped.

*Time Skip!*

*Your POV*

You watched him lay on the cot. They had managed to stabilize him but...whether or not he'd wake up was something to be left with a higher power.

Most of his body had been cut up and so, he had plenty of bandages to cover him up. He just looked horrible…

But you believed he'd wake up. He promised you...He promised you wouldn't get rid of him that easily. You would just have to wait...wait for him to come back to you…

You let a hand rake through his hair softly and closed your eyes.
