Inko couldn't help but stare at Toshinori's unmoving body. How could it be that he was taken down in one hit like that? Her tears build up in her eyes as she couldn't help but sob at him. He couldn't be dead. There was no way that Toshinori could be dead. More tears rolled down her cheeks as she stared at the man. His smile, long gone. Eyes still open showing the shock that had once filled them. Yet, his long bangs, for the most part covered his eyes from her view.

It was better that she didn't keep seeing his eyes.

Eyes, that had been so expressive now were empty and void of life.

Her shoulders trembled as she bit her lip, trying to keep herself from outright crying her pain. She tightly shut her eyes trying to stop the flow of tears. Yet, her heart, she felt her heart crying out for her. The only man that she had ever felt a connection too. The only man, that had ever made her feel so happy and alive for the first time in her life.

Someone that she had loved… was dead.

"Dad!" shouted Izuku, he looked pissed. He was angry, his eyes, sparking much like Toshinori's as he glared at the woman who had taken his father's life. Inko couldn't help but just stare at the blonde man whom had done so much for her and yet she had done nothing for him. "You bitch! I'll make sure that you never hurt anyone ever again!" shouted Izuku as he went to fight off Kira.

Inko ignored it all though.

The only thing that she cared about was Toshinori. "Toshi?" She said with a sniffle as she reached out to him. She noticed that his lips were even parted, the shock having effected his entire face as he looked at the woman as she stabbed him in his chest. "Please wake up." Inko said, her heart breaking at the sight of the man that she wanted to marry.

Tightly shutting her eyes, she carefully lifted Toshinori's head into her arms, rocking him back and forth as she sobbed. How could this be possible? How could it be that she had to lose the one good thing in her life? It just wasn't fair, the one time that she had been wrong, wrong that she would never find love and now that she had it had to be taken away from her.

Was this how her life was supposed to be? That no matter what happened in the flow of time that she would never be allowed to be happy? That she would always be forced to suffer her fate to hurt in some way?

Sniffling, she just rocked back and forth with Toshinori's head resting in her arms, his resting against her chest, right against her heart as she hummed a song under her breath. Trying to keep her breathing steady and even as she tried to have some kind of last moment with Toshinori. Just wanting to enjoy the warmth that his body provided before it would grow cold from a lack of heart beat.

Yet, it was a hard thing to do, having to let go of the one good thing in your life that was for sure. Inko buried her face against his blonde locks, feeling the silky strands against her cheek, feeling them as she ran her fingers through his hair. It was a feeling that she wanted to always remember. A feeling that she never wanted to forget. It was something that he hoped that he could never forget. "Toshi, please don't leave me." Inko whispered softly under her breath.

Looking down at Toshinori, Inko couldn't help but stare at Toshinori. His eyes seemed to have closed on their own, she wasn't sure if that was the case. Or if his body was trying to put itself to rest, she had no idea. Though she knew that she had to accept it now.

Accept, no matter if she wanted to or not, that Toshinori was gone and was never coming back.

Inko couldn't take it anymore. She couldn't take the feeling of heartache as she tightened her hold over his body. Her body shook and trembled with pain, both emotionally and physical pain. She let out a loud scream that was long, loud and filled with nothing but her own pain and suffering. It had felt as if her heart had left her. Her heart, left her chest and had fallen to the ground and shattered into a million tiny shards.

"Please don't leave… don't leave me! Toshinori!" Inko shouted to the heavens, not sure if anyone would dare hear her calls. To hear her pleas for him to stay with her. To bring back Toshinori as more tears streamed down her face and onto Toshinori's cheeks. His closed eyes seemed to have been sprinkled with her tears by this point.

"You bitch! I'll make sure that you never hurt anyone ever again! I'll make sure that you'll suffer!" Izuku said with a snarl. Inko couldn't help but sniffle as she heard bits and pieces of the battle take place. It made her think more about Toshinori. The way Izuku spoke, it reminded her of him. Made sense, he was their son after all.

She couldn't help but give a weak laugh at that.

It amazed her, Izuku was so much like herself but also like Toshinori that it was almost frightening and she felt like he would have been a great king should the kingdom have survived long enough for him to have even been a king in the first place. Sniffling, Inko couldn't help but stare at Toshinori as she whispered "Toshi, please wake up. You have to wake up… just… just don't leave me please." Inko whispered softly, trying to find a way, anyway to get him to somehow open his eyes, but it seemed that no matter what she said, he just wouldn't open his eyes for her.

"Look at what I got here!" Said a voice, causing Inko to look up in shock as she saw Kira standing over her and Toshinori's body.


Toshinori groaned as he found himself in some kind of darkness. He felt as if his whole body was in pain, as if it was hard for him to breathe properly. Why that was, he had no idea, but he knew was the last thing that he remembered. He was fighting Kira, then she had disappeared. But after that it felt like it was a blur for him from there on out.

Shaking his head, the young man looked around in the dark void. Trying to find a way out of here. There had to be a way out of here, had to be a way back to… to… "Who do I have to go back too?" asked Toshinori, not sure who he had seen before appearing here. He knew that it had to be on the tip of his tongue, but what was it? Who was it? Ugh, this was going to drive him nuts that's for sure.

Taking one last look around, he started to follow an unknown path. Well, he couldn't really see a path but he knew that he had to do something. If he didn't move, then he would have no idea if he could escape from this place or not.

"Anyone there?" asked Toshinori, hoping and praying that there would be someone here that could help him. Though, again that was asking for a lot, he wasn't sure if there was even anyone that could help him at this point.

Looking around, he couldn't help but feel rather cold and lonely. As if there was a part of him that was missing. He couldn't be sure as to what it was that he was missing though. It just felt as if there was a huge part of him missing, that someone out there held the missing piece to him but he couldn't be sure as to who it was. Who anyone really was for that matter. The only thing he could recall was his name, and the battle that lead him here.

Mostly.

"Toshi?"

Blinking his blue eyes, the young man looked around wondering who had just called out to him. He knew that only those close to him could call him that. Frowning a little, he called out to the voice. "Hello? Anyone there?" He couldn't help but frown a little more as he went to call out to them again. Until their voice stopped him.

"Please wake up."

Why did this woman's voice sound so broken? So sad and alone? Who was she? Also, why did his heart beat painfully in his chest? Not to mention the pain that resided at the left side of his chest, just a little further away from his heart. Had he been injured recently? Frowning a little, the young man shook his head as he tried to call out to the woman. Tried to let her know that he was here but he wasn't sure how he could even reach her.

It just felt as if every time he spoke, his words either couldn't, or wouldn't reach her. Was he in some kind of world that was separate from hers?

"Toshi, please don't leave me." The woman whispered, her voice still sounding so broken. He felt as if everything that he tried to do, that could reach out to the woman he couldn't help but frown in worry about her. But why was that?

Reaching up, he placed a hand over his chest as he felt the pain in his chest. Felt as if this woman's pain was his own. He knew that he had to do something to calm her yet, again he had no idea how to do that. He just knew that he had to do something for her.

Gritting his teeth, it was on the tip of his tongue on who she was. What she meant to him but no matter what it would escape him within moments of coming to him. Besides her voice, all he could hear was her sobs, he knew that he couldn't take this anymore, he had to hurry up and get back to her. How that was, he still held no idea but it wouldn't stop him. He'd do everything within his power to make sure that he returned to this woman, who ever she was to him.

"Please don't leave… don't leave me! Toshinori!"

"I don't want to leave you! I want to stay with you! My heart will never leave you so long as I hold strength within my body, I promised you that I would always make you smile, I never wanted you to be sad over me!" Toshinori shouted, hoping that his voice would have reached her. More sniffles followed him in that moment. He knew that it didn't reach her then.

Letting out a soft sigh, the young man looked up at the sky as he tried to think on what he could or should do. It just seemed, that everything that happened, it just wouldn't leave him alone.

"Toshi, please wake up. You have to wake up… just… just don't leave me please"

"I'm sorry!" Toshinori shouted, rushing around in the darkness, trying to find any kind of way out of here. He knew that he had to escape. Hearing her cry like this, begging and pleading for him to stay with her. Not to leave her. He knew that he had to do something in order to return to her but… "I'm sorry." Toshinori fell to his knees, giving up any kind of hope that he could return to her. No matter what, nothing worked for him.

"Please forgive me, I don't know how I can return to you." Toshinori whispered, covering his face as he let out a groan. He didn't know what he could do, didn't know if he could ever get out of here.

'You'll just have to remember her name, and the love you share.' A voice said, causing Toshinori to lower his hands, trying to find the source of the voice. Looking around, he wondered who it was, the voice sounding so familiar to him but he couldn't find anyone. He was alone, he knew that much. Yet, he felt like someone had been here just now.

"Remember… her name…" Toshinori whispered to himself, wondering if he could remember her at all.

Closing his eyes, he tried to picture the face to that beautiful voice. He could picture a pair of beautiful eyes, the colour of green emeralds. He couldn't help but smile at the sight really. Pale pink lips that made him want to kiss them at any time he ever wanted in his life. Something that he knew that he'd never grow tired of feeling against his own lips.

Skin, naturally pale but not overly so to the point that he would be worried for her health. She also had long, beautiful green hair that made him want to reach out and run his fingers through the silky strands. She was important to him, he knew that. His heart reached out for her, yearned for her more than anything in the world. Yet, a part of him knew that he had to think more about her.

The warm feelings that he felt thinking about her. His heart thudded in his chest, feeling a warmth swirl itself in the pit of his stomach as well as his heart. He knew, that his cheeks were pink thinking about all the memories that had started to flood his head. Opening his eyes a crack, Toshinori whispered her name. Finally remembering her name, and of course the danger that she was in.

"Inko…"


Inko looked up as her gaze fell on Kira. The very woman whom had taken Toshinori away from her. Tightening her hold over the blonde, she narrowed her green eyes at the woman. "Stay away from us!" Inko shouted at her. She would never allow this woman to take Toshinori away from her.

Kira smirked down at her as she shrugged her shoulders and laughed a little. "Now why would I do that? You know, you're the reason why Toshinori is dead." Inko narrowed her green eyes, only to look around as she frowned a little in confusion. Where was Izuku? Did… did he disappear because Toshinori was… "Oh, that green haired man? He's knocked out. Won't lie, he is a tough little man but I still prefer Toshinori."

Inko tightened her hold over the blonde. This woman, was she sick enough to try to take the body of a dead man and try to use it? Most likely, but she wouldn't allow it to happen. She would never allow it to happen. Until there was no breath left in her body, Inko would never allow Toshinori to be taken away. He would need to be buried properly.

"Do you know why he died because of you?" Kira said with a smirk.

Inko's responds was merely a glare.

"Because he is a fool." Kira said with a growl. Inko just glared harder as she stared at the woman. The same woman that had taken Toshinori away from her. "He was a fool for wanting you as his wife. When he could have had me, a princess. A beautiful woman whom was worthy of the title 'Queen' not some slave like you."

"He isn't a fool. He is a good hearted man who would do anything for what was right. You are nothing but a monster! You killed his family just so he would be with you!" Inko shouted, wanting to do something. Wanting to protect Toshinori but she wasn't even able to fight back. Her quirk, useless as it was.

"Oh but he was a fool. He should have just said yes when our parents tried to set us up. Though when they saw how much he seemed to have hated me they decided against the wedding and walked away. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands." Kira said with a giggle as she looked down at Inko with a twisted smile. "Now, he's dead because he wouldn't accept that he and I were destined for each other."

"He was never your destiny. If he was, he would have agreed to do so long ago! He chose me, and you are nothing but a jealous petty woman for thinking that he had to be with you only." Inko shouted, her eyes filled with hate, as well as the remaining tears that had yet to fall over. Looking down at Toshinori, she ran her fingers through the blonde locks before gently cupping his cheek against her hand.

Toshinori, he was a great man, that much she knew for a fact but she just hoped that one day she would get to join him as well but, wasn't sure when that would be. "I loved him, and he loved me and you took that away. I don't want to be without him but I knew that, if I died now that it would have been in vain."

"Oh, don't worry." Kira said with a soft smile. Only for it to turn evil and twisted as she sneered down at Inko with hate. "You'll be joining him shortly!" The woman shouted as she went to stab Inko. Inko yelped as she quickly tried to shield Toshinori as she let out a loud scream.

"Help me!" shouted Inko.

"Gah!"

Blinking, the young woman frowned a little wondering why she felt no pain. She felt fine, as if she had never been hit in the first place. Not to mention, the scream that she had heard wasn't her own. So, who would it have been? Who had taken the hit?

Blinking her eyes, she looked up and blinked in shock as she saw Kira with a sword in her chest. But what he surprised her, was the hand that was holding onto the hilt of the blade. Kira looked down in shock as she whispered "But… how…?"

"You missed my heart." The voice said with a smirk, before Inko could even process anything, the man ripped the sword out of Kira's chest as he said "May you rest in peace Princess Kira." His breath sounded a little wheezy before he found himself falling back on the grass and groaned in pain. Inko couldn't help but look at the man with wide eyes, her hand covering her mouth as she just stared at the man before her.

He looked over at her and gave her a small smile. "Hey Inko, didn't mean to worry you." His smile grew a little before he let out a cough that was accompanied by blood.

"Toshi!" Inko shouted as she rushed to him and hugged him. Her body shook with tears as she cried out, never knowing just how relieved she was until that moment. "But how, she stabbed you in the chest! Why didn't you wake up sooner?!"

Toshinori looked up at her and gave her a frown before letting out a soft sigh. "She thought that she stabbed my heart, but no. Lucky for me I moved myself a bit over and she only stabbed my lung, I guess the shock and pain was what knocked me out. I was in a way dead I guess, found myself in a dark place. Or I was in some kind of coma, no idea how I was there or what happened to me."

Looking up at Inko, he couldn't help but give her a sad expression. "I didn't even remember who you were, and I'm sorry but… I could hear you. Your voice was what brought me back but I had to wait until she had let her guard down. I'm sorry, but for a little bit, I had to play dead."

"You had me scared Toshi! I thought I lost you! Why couldn't you give me a sign that you were okay?!"

"Because, if I had to fool Kira I… I had to fool you as well I'm so sorry." He whispered before coughing more blood from his lung.

"Let's worry about you for now… I'll lecture you later, we need to get you some help." Inko said with a frown as she added "I'll go wake Izuku and we'll take you back home." Inko gave him a small smile before kissing him. At the moment, she didn't care if his lips were tainted with blood, she had him back. That was the only thing that mattered to her, nothing more and nothing less.
