The day before went by like a blur. You barely remember what happened last night. But you knew it felt amazing and you were smiling in your sleep. You hugged the pillow tightly in your sleep as you moved your tense legs around under the blanket. A sudden gust of wind cut across your bare back and you shivered slightly.
"Sorry, the mutt wanted to get out." You heard Katsuki say as you turned over in the bed.
Opening your eyes you saw Katsuki shirtless by the balcony as he closed the door. He stretched his arms and walked around the bed. You looked at his back and the marks left from last night's events. You closed your eyes and you felt Katsuki get in the bed behind you. He wrapped his arm around your waist and pulled you against his chest. Katsuki leaned forward and kissed the back of your neck.
"Stop that I'm still recovering." You told him as you rolled over to face him and moved into his chest.
"Not doing anything." Katsuki said in defense.
"Yes you are." You argued as you felt him kiss your head.
You hummed quietly as Katsuki watched you smile in your sleep. He smirked at the sight and reached to stroke your face. Suddenly the was knocked and Katsuki glared at the interruption and stayed in the bed.
"Katsuki you need to answer it." You told him sleepily.
"No I don't." He said as he leaned closer and kissed your neck again.
"Either you answer it, or I'll do it naked. It's Eijirou and I'm sure you don't want him to see me like this."
Katsuki pulled back and glared at you as you opened your eyes and smirked at him. The man rolled his eyes and got up from the bed and walked to the door. He opened it to see Eijirou there.
"The fuck do you want?"
"Geez, sorry for interrupting." The man said jokingly.
"Shut up. What do you want?"
"My mom wanted me to tell you that the presence from yesterday disappeared." He started as Katsuki raised his brow, you tuned in to their conversation. "It might be safe to go outside, but she doesn't want Y/N to leave under any circumstances."
"The fuck? Why?"
"Well according to my mom it's targeting her. And its been following her in which it came here. She doesn't want to risk it and wants Y/N to stay in the estate since whatever it is can't enter the estate. That's my message for the day."
Katsuki looked off in thought. You were a magic user so you being targeted made a little sense. But still, it was weird as you're not that advanced.
"Alright fuck off." Katsuki said before closing the door. He walked back to the bed and you watched him lay back down. "Did you piss someone off?"
"Simply existing in the city was enough to make people mad at me." You responded. "But even then, it doesn't explain whatever was outside."
Scratching was heard at the balcony door. Katsuki got up and opened it for Aridam to walk back in. The dog curled up on a small rug and rested. Katsuki laid back down and stared at the ceiling.
"This shit doesn't make sense." He muttered quietly. "You didn't piss no one off. Maybe your parents?"
You stayed quiet as you thought to yourself. Suddenly your brows furrowed. "My mother, she was the founder of a witch's coven. That could be it, but I'm not in charge of it either so I'm not sure why I'm being targeted."
Katsuki looked over at your confused expression before he reached out to you and stroked your face. "Whatever the fuck it is, we should be able to figure. Cuz I still got shit to work on back in the palace." You nodded softly and hugged the pillow as you rested on his hand.

"This is stupid." Kikyo said as they walked through the town. Himiko kept the arrow wrapped in a cloth and held it like a sack. "How the hell do we kill her now? There's only 3 days till the portal opens."
"Y/N knows we're here, so does the Most Sacred Witch, they're not going to let her outside." Himiko said as entered an inn. "We don't have anything that'll draw her out. And the barrier is too strong for us to take down."
"Why don't we use the arrow on Bakugou?" Hamuki suggested as the other two stared at her. "Master said that before the arrow kills you it shows you your worst nightmares. That'll give him more negative energy, and we can just poison another arrow and shoot Y/N with that."
Himiko thought to herself before nodding. "Yeah. Yeah, that could work actually, let's go."
~~~~~~~
You put your arms in the dress sleeve and reached to tie the belt. Katsuki came behind you and tied the knot for you.
"Thank you." You told him as he kissed your neck again. "You like kissing me there."
"Yeah, so?"
"Mm mm, just an observation." You said as you turned around and hugged his waist as he leaned down and kissed you. "So what are we doing for now? Since we can't go back now."
Katsuki sighed softly. "I dunno, I need to get back to the palace but I don't wanna leave you here. There isn't a spell or some shit that you can use to bring us back?"
"I can but I can only use it on myself or someone else I can't do two people at once. It'll also take several days for me to regain the strength to do it again."
The male looked at you before looking away to think. "Then how about me and Shitty Hair go back in the carraige and you take yourself back and meet us there?"
"You sure it's safe for you to do that? We don't know if they'll come after you."
"I can take care of myself princess. Quit worrying." Katsuki said as he held your face.
"I know but still, the fact that it suddenly disappeared doesn't sit right with me." You said as you let him go and walked over to your shoes. You sat on the bed and began to put them on.
"We can't stay here forever, remember I also promised your father I'd bring you back to him. I also need to ask his permission and shit."
You looked up at him and sighed quietly before nodding. "I guess we could try it."
Katsuki walked over to you and knelt down. "It'll be fine princess."
"Ok, alright. I trust you."
~~~~~~~
"Make sure you come and visit me more often sweetheart." Rei told Eijirou as he hugged his mother.
"I promise mom." He told her as Katsuki carried a bag out to the carraige.
Katsuki came back to you and took the bag you held. "Be careful please?" You asked him.
"You want me to say this shit again?" He asked as you pouted softly. "I'll be okay."
As you rubbed your hands nervously he kissed your lips before pecking your cheek. You smiled at him and watched him walk away. Rei walked over to you as Eijirou took the bag from Katsuki.
As Katsuki looked up he was suddenly struck by a black arrow.
"KATSUKI!" You yelled out as Rei looked back in horror.
Eijirou ran to him Katsuki fell to the ground. You tried to run to him but Rei held you in place.
"Y/N NO! They're still out there!"
"THEY SHOT HIM!" You cried out as Katsuki began to cough blood while on the ground.
Eijirou covered the wound with a cloth. "Katsuki can you hear me come on man." He watched as black veins appeared on his neck.
"No no no no no no no." You whimpered as you fell to ground and Rei brought you back inside. "I told him, I told him not to go."
Rei left you and came outside, you peaked out the door and in the distance you caught sight of Himiko. For away she held the arrow and you saw her scoff.
"HIMIKO!" She heard your yell and looked at you shocked.
"We need to go now." Kikyo said as the three began to run suddenly Himiko was wrapped in a red mist and stopped in her tracks.
"Kikyo, Hamuki!" She called to them as Rei motioned her hand to flaot her towards them. "Help me!"
The two looked in fear before running, Himiko watched them run in shock. Once she was close enough Rei wrapped her fingers around her neck.
"You are in an insurmountable amount of trouble young lady."
