Karma Bites

Bloody mess

When I woke up
Both the girls were still tied up but strangely no one was harmed in any way, as far as I knew, I displayed the worst of our injuries but I was ill to begin with so I was weaker.

There was a guy in the corner going through all the weapons I had stashed on me "you're gonna have to pay for those!" My voice sounded as if I were intoxicated, it was uneven and shaken showing just how unstable I was. A few of the boys turned around grimacing "I don't think I will, unless you want the cops to know you're an illegal weapons dealer?"

I smirked and leaned forwards towards "except the fact I made the weapons. My craftsmanship beats your capturing techniques" I slipped out of the ropes and threw my head forward into the threat's forehead causing our skulls to collide before I stood confidently taking pride in every step I made

By now, most of the girls were watching me as I battled for a way out. My hand grasped a knife and a sense of power washed over me, this was my moment! I readjusted my grip as the boy swung at me before I slashed his side. The wound wasn't as deep as I'd wished but it was enough to draw his hand to clutch the wound "you brat!"

I had this crazy grin painted across my face, all I could think about was the blood inside of his veins, I could feel it rushing around as he tried to keep up with me. But you see, I was using his blood against him. My hands were slowing the flow causing his movement speed to decelerate

The sense of my quirk starting to take over completely was coming to surface, I didn't want to kill this man since he was only a high schooler but he hurt my friends, he hurt Karma!

Those were the only thoughts I needed for my veins to shred open and the blood to flow out like tentacles "what the hell?!" I was about to make another move before something slammed into my side. One of the other attacker's also had a quirk, it looked like paper but harsher. "You think you can just start a killing spree without anyone noticing?!"

I smiled eerily "why do I wanna hurt you so badly? You're just a high school idiot. And yet I have this temptation, this drive, this force...to hold your lungs in my hands, will that be okay with you?" He held a horrified glint in his irises "you're not gonna get the chance, blood bag!"

I whipped my arms around as a voice came from the darkness, it sounded like Nagisa? But it couldn't be! "Riku, you need to let it go" Noa was the only one who'd ever seen my quirk take over completely like this before.

"I-I can't! Not this time" before I could even comprehend what was happening, a pair of lips consumed mine, not in passion but in security. the tentacles fell limp as my arms did the same, and as the rest of me followed, arms slipped around my body bearing my weight entirely as the oxygen left my lungs until i fell unconscious

I remember someone saying my name, and by the sound of it...they cared. But no one cared enough to to risk their lives for me, most of them did only meet me today so it didn't make sense.

I didn't really want to burden anyone with my presence in the future, I mean love is fake and only in the movies - take my parents for example, who throws their child out?! That's not love, that's the fact they couldn't be bothered to rise to the occasion and help me not feel so scared of myself, and now I'm here

Was I angry at them? Yea, I was but did I also want nothing more than to be held in their arms again even though I knew they didn't want me? Yes

I didn't quite know how to explain the situation to someone who had never been without their parents for more than five minutes, that feeling of true abandonment, that every person you ever meet will leave you for something better because you know that 'better' will always exist and its only a matter of time before they find it...I knew that feeling all too well
