Yuko stood, staring down at the two unconscious males. She sighed as she turned to look down the hall. She knew the other's were long gone by now, hopefully they hadn't run into too much trouble.

Tilting her head back, her eyes closed. Her arms had gone numb from the loss of blood, after she carelessly used them to defeat the two Hassaikai. Her hair was tangled, her hood forgotten, now resting on her shoulders.

She turned, going to find Tamaki, as he was closer -in the room close down the hall, only to stumble into the opposite wall. Her balance lost as she leaned against the wall. She looked up, her eyesight blurring as she stared at the doors Tamaki was located behind.

Her mind set to push herself forward, however her body did the opposite, leaning against the wall, and sliding down into a sitting position.

Her breathing was slow and calm, she relaxed slightly as her head leaned on the wall, tilting to watch the doors. She was exhausted, and and half of her body felt numb. Blood stained her clothes, whether all of it was hers or not was really unknown. Her staff and knife lay a few feet away from her still figure, carelessly forgotten.

Her attention returned to the two villains, who continue to lay unconscious. She had, fortunately, brought what she liked to call "sleeping darts", which she was able to use on them after knocking them unconscious during their fight. It was self explanatory really, anyone punctured by the darts experienced side effects, mostly exhaustion and numbness. So she knew the two were going to be out for a while.

They were tough opponents for Yuko, the wounds she received were there to prove that. She's just glad their fight is over.

Yuko exhaled as her head lulled to the side, her eyelids felt heavy, and her head felt light as she adjusted to stare at the ceiling. She sat against the wall as her eyes began to close, things turning distant before it all turned black.

"...u...ko...y...ko...Yuko!" Yuko gasped as her eyes shot open, whipping into a sitting position, while taking the defense, raising her arms. However, the movement was proven a bad choice as she reeled back in pain, the adrenaline wearing off and allowing her to finally feel the effects of her wounds.

However, it wasn't as bad as she expected, luckily she was still able to move and use them. Though she assumed it was to an extent.

"Yuko, calm down! It's only me..." Tamaki, who kneeled in front of her, scooted a cautious pace back away from the jumpy female.

"...Jiki?" The girl mumbled, looking up at the male. He too, seemed to have taken quite the damage from his fight. One side of his face having a nasty scar, however, despite that, he seemed okay.

Tamaki looked over the scene, his eyes landing on the two Hassaikai members. "...you stayed here to fight them, didn't you?" He questioned, looking back at the girl, who was pushing herself to her feet.

Looking over at him as he too began to stand, she nodded, grabbing her weapons that were thrown to the side. "Yeah..." She mumbled, returning her weapons to their rightful places.

"I mean..." She looked up at him, placing a hand on her neck with a light careless grin, "I had to. We can't waste our time, right? Eri's waiting for us to save her, after all."

Tamaki stared at the girl, blinking at her. He was quiet as he nodded, Yuko looking back at the two Hassaikai, she now realizing they were tied up in a octopus' tentacle. Tamaki having probably wrapped them up while she was still unconscious.

"The other's went ahead?" He asked her, to which she nodded, looking in the direction the group had gone down.

"Yeah." She nodded, stretching as she walked to stand in front of the older male. "If we start now, I think we'll be able to catch up to them, maybe within 45-60 minutes." She estimated, looking down with a thoughtful look.

"Well, that's if we don't run into anyone or anything."

Tamaki nodded, thinking over her words. "Yeah, and hopefully, they haven't run into too much trouble. I have a feeling Irinaka has already gotten to them." Yuko nodded in agreement at this, rolling her shoulders as she approached the unconscious two she had recently fought.

"We'll leave them here. The police will find them and take care of them." Tamaki nodded, having made the same call with his own opponents.

With that, the two quickly took off down the hall, of course, much slower than earlier due to their fights. However, this did not keep them from going, adrenaline once again taking over.

'Please everyone, be okay.'

"Hey, guys!" Yuko called, running up to Ochaco and Tsu, they stopping in their tracks and turning to her.

"Yuko, -ribbit- is everything okay?" Tsu questioned, placing a finger on her chin, with a tilt of her head.

Yuko grinned, placing a hand on the back of her neck, "of course!" Her grin lightened as she made eye contact with the two.

"Um...actually..." She sighed, grabbing the two's hands, "when the time comes, and we learn where Eri is... Please be careful!" She pleaded, bowing her head and squeezing their hands. The two blinked in confusion, staring at their friend and classmates.

Ochaco frowned, "of course we will, why are you so worked up Yuko? Are you okay?"

Yuko took a deep intake of breath as she straightened, she looked at the two, opening her mouth to speak, before abruptly shutting it. Her mouth formed into a tight-lipped smile, as she gave a firm nod. Releasing their hands, she turned and began to rush off, leaving the two confused.

"Midoriya, Eijiro! Can I talk to you guys for a sec?" Yuko called to the greenette and redhead.

The two looked at her in confusion, before making their way over, excusing themselves from the conversation with their friends.

"Hey, Toshiro, what'd you need?" Izuku asked as they came to a stop in front of her.

Yuko placed her hands behind her back, bowing slightly to the two, they stopping back as they began to protest in confusion.

"Wha-- Toshiro what're you doing?!--"

"Yuko?! What's with you? Are you okay?--"

"Guys!" She cut them off, "please be careful when the time comes!" She once again pleaded her friends. The two stopped, their muscles relaxing. Despite the little context in her words, they knew what she was talking about.

"Yuko...? Why are yo--"

"Just promise you'll be careful." She cut Eijiro off, leading to the two males exchanging a glance.

Izuku looked back down at the bowing female, answering with confusion lacing his tone, "of course, why are--"

He was yet again cut off as Yuko stood straight, giving a small smile and nod before turning and rushing off, once again.

"What...?"

"Night," Yuko sighed, running her hand along the snout of her best friend, "I've already talked to the others, so you're the last one..."

The dragon gave a confused huff, causing her to chuckle as she rubbed his scales. "So bud, do me a favor and be careful when we fight the Hassaikai."

Night pulled back, connecting their ruby and crimson eyes. He huffed at her, causing her to once again chuckle as her hair flew back.

She smiled as she leaned on the beasts' snout, resting her head on his black coat of rough scales. "We may not be together the whole time or at all when it comes to it, so be careful, alright? I can't have anything happening to my best friend."

'Please be okay.'
