"She just ran into more danger to try to help you! She wouldn't have done that if you stayed.."
Ryon tensed, his voice tight. "She won't listen.. I told her to leave me."
"Once she sets her mind on something, she does it. She cares about you a lot, I can tell just by how she looks at you. And now she's gone to try to help save you."
"Dammit! I should have thrown her out of the hospital.." Ryon put his head in his hands.
"She would still be doing this though.." Hikaru admitted. "Our clan took out Aras fifty years ago.. We lost half our members to the fight. If he revives, he'll wipe out all the shifters and witches, so I know she'd be fighting his return even if she didn't know you."
"Where is she?"
"She was heading to one of their hideouts."
"Is she insane?"
"Probably. You know, she wouldn't admit it, but I think part of the reason she chose to be a bodyguard, other than helping people, is the higher risks. More likely to be reunited with her family that way.." Hikaru sighed. "I know she's not actively trying to die, but I don't think she fears it like most do."
"She still has you at least. I'm alone." Ryon looked at him. "Send me there or whatever you do."
"She told me to check on you and protect you.. but I guess if I go too, I'm still watching you and we can save her ass."
"You get her safe." Ryon shifted and stared defiantly at him.
Hikaru shook his head before putting a hand on Ryon's back. They soon vanished and appeared outside of a building.
Ryon howled and raced inside, frantically searching for Mia.
Mia was in the middle of a fight, three witches surrounding her. They all were muttering under their breaths. Mia spoke a spell and shot lightning out at one of the witches.
Soon though, a man entered and started laughing. "The future Ishida clan leader came to fight. How precious.."
Mia growled and looked up at him. "I'm not going to let you hurt Ryon!"
"You won't be able to stop us." He laughed again. "Once I've taken care of you, nothing will be in the way of sacrificing him."
Mia shot down the two other witches with lightning before advancing on the speaker. She began muttering a spell but he threw his hand up and slammed her into the wall without even touching her.
She groaned and pushed herself up, she began another spell as he muttered one quickly. Yellow light appeared, flowing out of her rapidly. She pulled out her gun and tried to shoot him before she fell forward.
Ryon ran in, skidding to a halt. He quickly reverted and lunged at the man in fury. "Leave her alone you asshole!"
Mia tried to look up, weakly pushing herself to her feet. She aimed her gun the best she could and shot the man quickly before trying to walk toward Ryon.
The man growled, holding his chest tightly before vanishing.
Ryon crumpled to the floor.
Mia made it to Ryon's side before falling beside him. She tried to check him over but ended up losing consciousness.
Hikaru found them and checked them over. Ryon had traces of a sedative in his blood and Mia's energy levels were extremely low.
He took them home and laid them in bed, saying a few spells over each of them before leaving the room.
