Hey StarBurst here sorry for not updating for a awhile but just to know that I haven't died off yet here's a little oneshot for you lot.
I let out a groan of pain when I feel Itsuka bandaging my wounds. "Fool... how could you hurt yourself like this?"
Itsuka mutters something angrily, bandaging my injured arm. She was tending to me in her room. As always she was healing one of my many wounds.
My quirk was 'Sacrifice Blood'. It's a transformation quirk that allows the user to generate magic or special weapons when cut. The user must cut their own body.
I fidget a bit "Because Itsuka we both know how my quirk works."
"I know but it doesn't mean you have to use it all the time! You could have found another way." She finished with my arm and looked up at me with a frown.
"And we tried that too." I grab her hand and rub her knuckles. "But if we ever get into a really bad situation then I'll use it, even if it means dying I'll rather make sure you're alright."
She pouts and looks down, her expression softening. She knew I would do anything for her, but it didn't make her worry any less. "But I don't want you to sacrifice yourself for me."
I stop rubbing her knuckle and gasp the side of her cheek to make her look at me "I would sacrifice myself a thousand times and a thousand lifetimes for you."
Itsuka's heart skips a beat at my words, her pout deepening as she tries to hold back tears. She hated how I was willing to die for her. She leaned into my touch, closing her eyes and taking a shaky breath. "Please don't say that. I don't want to lose you."
I lean in closer, my forehead resting against hers, my breath mingling with her own. "And you won't Itsuka, because I'll fight death itself to be with you and if we do die then I'll go far beyond just to be with you." My hand sliding from her cheek to the back of her neck, my fingers tangling in her hair.
A shiver runs down her spine as your hand caresses her neck, her body trembling slightly. She couldn't believe how much she needed you. The thought of losing you was more than she could bear. "Promise me that you'll try to find another way before using your quirk again." She whispers against your lips, her eyes still closed and her heart racing.
I don't say anything as we both stay there, and a month later we both fight against an unknown being that's attacking without provocation, most of the Pro heroes are fighting the others which leaves us two fighting this one by ourselves. Its long leg whacks me back sliding next to Itsuka and some civilians caught in the crossfire. "Argh."
Itsuka gasps when she sees me hit the ground and quickly checks if I'm okay, noticing the civilians around. "Damnit."
She curses and stands up, trying to keep the civilians safe while also looking at the enemy that was still approaching. Her eyes darted between me and the civilians, unsure of what to do.
I prop myself up with my elbow just to see it charging up a beam, I look around to the scared civilians and Itsuka, I slowly get up my body aches due to all the cuts all around my body, blood flowing out of them, but I power on knowing that we will be all killed.
Itsuka sees me get up and her eyes widen in shock and fear. I looked like I was barely standing, and yet I was preparing to face the enemy again. She wanted to protest, to tell me to stay down, but she knew it was useless. She grits her teeth and prepares to defend herself and the others, her hands clenched into fists, her knuckles white.
I use my quirk to generate a tower shield in the shape of a cross with a circular shape in the middle. I start to chant magic into it. "True name unleashed. I will stand on the seat of catastrophe." The unknown being finishes charging and fires at us, I hear the screams of people around me but was not deterred by it.
"that which heals all wounds and grudges, our glorious homeland!" I slam the shield down in front of me as I say the last part. "Manifest yourself, Lord Camelot!" Itsuka watches in awe as I generate the shield and start chanting, the magic swirling around me. She knows that whatever spell or special weapon I cast, it must be powerful.
As the enemy fires, she covers the civilians with her body, trying to protect them from the blast. But just as the attack is about to hit, my shield appears and blocks it.
The civilians stare at me with wide eyes, shocked at what just happened. Even Itsuka is speechless, but her worry for me never fades.
White castle walls appear behind and beside us as tall as two stories buildings as I struggle against the beam as I get pushed back slightly but that only refuel my resolve even more. "so long as the heart doesn't break, those castle walls too shall never crumble!"
In the heat of the moment I pour more my blood into it and entirely change the magic from an ultimate protection to an ultimate protection that returns the attacking opposition. The attack rebounds back at the unknown being hitting it.
Itsuka can't believe her eyes as she watches the castle walls appear, shielding me and the civilians from the attack. It's like something straight out of a fantasy.
She watches as the attack is deflected and strikes back at the enemy, causing it to stumble backwards. The enemy roars in pain, clearly not expecting that kind of retaliation.
I see a chance to end it "It's time we end this!" I dismiss the shield with the walls around us disappearing too before a simple long sword appears in my hand with an engraved in a golden inscription on its hilt, this simple yet elegant weapon radiates power from it. I grab hold of it with both hands as I get into an inside right stance but with the sword next to my head and angle 30 degrees up.
"O, Sword of Selection, grant me your power!." The blade starts to glow bright. "For the sake of those that were smiling...!" I watch as the being keeps stumbling. Itsuka is still watching me, her heart swelling with pride and admiration. She's never seen me like this before, so powerful and determined.
She sees the sword glow and knows that whatever is about to happen, it's going to be over soon. The civilians huddle closer to her, their eyes fixed on me as well, their fear slowly turning into hope.
"Show me the direction of hope!" I pour even more of my blood into it as I narrow my eyes at the unknown being. "And Cleave the wicked!" I thrust the holy sword forward pointing the tip of the blade at it. "Caliburn!" I speak of the name that made Arthur king of Camelot as a small beam shoots out of the blade as it hits the being exploding it from within.
Itsuka gasps as the beam shoots out, hitting the enemy directly. The explosion causes her to shield her eyes, but when she opens them again, the enemy is no more. She stares at the spot where it once stood, dumbfounded.
The civilians around her cheer, relief and gratitude written all over their faces. They had just witnessed something incredible. I dropped from where I was standing, no longer having the energy to stand anymore. Itsuka's eyes widen in alarm as she sees you collapse, and she rushes to your side.
"Daichi!" She kneels down next to you, her hands hovering over your body, unsure of where to touch you without hurting you more. Her heart is pounding in her chest as she checks you for any major injuries.
Itsuka turns me around as I slowly open my eyes. "Is... is it over?" I try to get up but can't due to using a lot of energy and losing a lot of blood in the process
Kendo helps you sit up, supporting your weight against her. "Yeah, it's over."
She looks at you with concern, her eyes roaming over your battered body. She gently cups your face, trying to keep you focused on her. "You need to rest, idiot. You used too much of your quirk and lost too much blood."
"Ah o-ok, I'm gonna go to sleep now ok." Before she can answer I close my eyes and sleep. Itsuka stares at you for a moment, a bit taken aback by your sudden announcement but then remembers how tired using your quirk can make you as she whispers to herself "Of course, you'd fall asleep now..." She sits there for a moment, watching over you and making sure you're okay.
So how was it good, bad, cringes I don't know but for now that will be it. I'll still continue with the first one with two others still in the mix as this one was just for fun so until next time Cao. (Edit sorry if you see this I had to do change bits of small mistakes on it.)
