Hikaru froze when he entered Mia's room and found it empty. He noticed the paper on the bed and looked it over.
Song lyrics were scrawled hurriedly, the title 'crazy love' in capitals.
He frowned, focusing on the singer and trying to teleport to him.
He appeared on a stage, Ryon's back to him as he sang out into the empty venue. The words were barely understandable and the witch realized Ryon was sobbing and hyperventilating.
He moved forward and gently put a hand on him, "Ryon? What's wrong? Where's Mia?"
The singer shook his head, pulling his phone out and shoving it into Hikaru's hands.
Hikaru froze as he read the text from Mia, "We need to find her, now."
"Go. I'll be alright." Ryon managed to answer.
He shook his head and put a hand on Ryon before teleporting them to Mia's location.
Hikaru hurriedly approached his cousin, noting the puddle of blood pooling around her.
Ryon froze, paling before bolting from the building.
Hikaru was busy rapidly muttering spells. After a while, he lifted Mia and exited, looking around for Ryon.
He was nowhere to be seen.
Hikaru took Mia home, reciting more spells and setting up a transfusion.
Mia woke feeling weak. She pushed herself up and looked around for a moment before falling back on the pillows.
"Good to see you awake."
"Where is he?"
Hikaru shook his head, "He disappeared and I was too busy taking care of you to find him again."
She nodded slowly, staring up at the ceiling. "He probably is mad that I saved him.."
"He shouldn't be."
"I saved him when he didn't want to be saved."
Hikaru sighed, "Just rest for now and try not to worry."
"After everything.. even finding out what he did.. I still cared about him. And now he probably hates me.."
"What he did?"
She frowned, "It's complicated.."
He sighed, pulling out Mia's phone and sending a text to Ryon, "She's alive and awake. Thinks you hate her though. You should probably come fix things."
Minutes passed, then he received a response. "The song is for her. Don't text me again."
Hikaru handed Mia the song paper and left the room.
Mia stared at it for a long time, tears falling down her cheeks.
