MHA: Time Manipulator

Arriving home with her father, they were greeted by her mother, who immediately rushed to her with a worried and anxious expression. Takeshi had already told her everything that had happened over the phone. Yukiko instantly grabbed the frightened girl by the hands and began to examine them with tears in her eyes.

"Kimi, my little one," Yukiko sobbed, "I was so worried about you! You can't imagine how scared I was when I heard about what happened. Are you okay? Does anything hurt? Don't hold anything in! Speak your mind; your father and I are here and will always support you!"

Seeing her mother's reaction, Kimika could no longer hold back her tears. She fell into her mother's arms, unable to contain her emotions. 

"Mom," Kimika cried, tears streaming down her cheeks, "I'm sorry for what I did… They… they are to blame… they were mocking Izuku… and I… I… just couldn't ignore it anymore!"

Seeing how difficult it was for her little daughter, Yukiko began to hug her even tighter, trying to comfort her in any way possible. 

"Don't be afraid, I'm here," she said, stroking Kimika's back. "I will always be with you, even in the toughest moments. You need to know that you're not alone."

"I just wanted to help him," Kimika sobbed, her voice barely audible through her tears. 

"My little Kimika…" Yukiko replied softly, looking into her daughter's eyes and gently pushing the hair away from her face. "You wanted to help him, and that's good. But you can always tell us if something is wrong. Don't worry; everything will be okay now."

Kimika nodded, trying to process her mother's words. She felt the weight of her worries gradually lift, and now all she wanted was to stay close to her family, feeling their support. 

"I… I wanted to tell you… but… you're always at work… it's very hard for me alone… I want you to always be around… I love you so much…" she whispered, feeling her heart overflowing with tenderness. 

"And we love you," Yukiko replied, smiling through her tears, her eyes shining with warmth and care. "Remember that we are always together, and you can tell us anything."

"And I love you too!" Takeshi suddenly exclaimed. These were the first words he had spoken during this important conversation. He genuinely wanted to encourage his daughter, even though it might have been better to remain silent. His words, filled with warmth, added even more closeness to the atmosphere, and his gentle gaze at his wife and daughter reflected the strengthening family bond.

Both Yukiko and Takeshi felt a deep sense of guilt for constantly leaving their little daughter alone while they were at work. When they heard that Kimika had wanted to tell them about the bullying of Izuku — and perhaps even about her own experiences — but couldn't do so due to their absence, their hearts filled with anxiety.

Each of them, realizing their mistakes, sought to make amends. Yukiko decided that she could no longer leave her daughter alone. She began to consider the possibility of switching to remote work or even resigning. She knew that Takeshi's income was more than enough to support their lives, and the money they had saved would be sufficient until Kimika turned eighteen.

Seeing his daughter's suffering, Takeshi also decided to take responsibility. He planned to thoroughly investigate everything that had happened and look into the reasons behind the conflict at school. He was particularly concerned about the principal, who seemed to be ignoring what was happening and appeared to be hiding something, as he couldn't help but notice how he slightly trembled during their conversation.

The next day, Kimika did not go to school not only because her parents forbade her, but also because she was exempted from classes by the principal's order. Her parents could not change this decision, as it was revealed after a medical examination that Bakugo had several fractures, and another student had a broken rib from a strong blow to the stomach. Learning about the condition of the other children, Kimika's parents did not even contest the punishment, understanding that it was still quite a lenient sentence. 

The parents of the injured children were extremely outraged and demanded stricter punishment for Kimika. Some of them even insisted on her complete expulsion from school, while others seriously considered the possibility of going to the police. Only after lengthy negotiations and the payment of compensation to the families of the victims was it possible to help calm the situation.

Feeling an immense guilt for what she had done, even though her parents said it wasn't her fault, Kimika decided to distract herself from heavy thoughts and go out to meet Toga at the same place where they had recently first met on the old swing. 

As she approached the meeting spot, Kimika saw Toga swaying on the swing, gazing into the distance with the same smile that always graced her face, as if no difficulties could overshadow her mood. "Hi, Toga!" 

Noticing that her friend had finally arrived, Toga easily jumped off the swing and ran towards her. With a joyful leap, she threw herself into Kimika's arms, and in an instant, Kimika found herself on the ground, pinned by Toga. She wasn't at all worried that either of them could get hurt because she was incredibly happy that Kimika had finally come.

"You finally came! I thought I would die waiting for you!" Toga exclaimed energetically, her eyes sparkling with joy and a slight blush appearing on her cheeks. She grabbed Kimika's hands, not allowing her to get up, and continued lying on the ground next to her. 

Toga's gaze fell on the bandages wrapped around Kimika's hands, as if they were evidence of a fight. At that moment, it hit her — her friend had indeed dared to stand up for her friend, and this thought filled Toga with incredible joy. She felt euphoria at realizing that her words had been the catalyst for Kimika, allowing her to release the anger that had been building up inside her.

"Oh wow, you really did it! You're so awesome!" Toga exclaimed, still sitting on Kimika and barely able to contain her excitement. "But you could have called me… I would have loved to see it…" she added, puffing out her cheeks as if she was upset with her friend for such an act. But this only lasted a moment, and Toga couldn't hold back her smile, continuing to bounce happily on Kimika.

For Kimika, it was quite difficult under the weight of her friend, especially with each little bounce. She tried to break free, but each time it proved futile: Toga either squeezed her tighter with her legs or grabbed her arms, holding them firmly against the grass. Kimika had no choice but to give in to Toga's energy, which seemed to want to lift her spirits at that moment, transferring her wonderful mood.

Suddenly, with a sparkle in her eyes, Toga exclaimed, "You know what? I have a great idea!" — grabbing Kimika's hand, she stood up, pulling her friend along to the swing. Kimika hoped that Toga would just ask her to swing, but when Toga sat down, she unexpectedly forced Kimika to sit on her lap.

Kimika, sitting on Toga's lap, felt embarrassed by what was happening. She looked around, trying to understand the situation, and began to attempt to break free from the embrace, feeling not only shame but also a slight fear. Toga, not giving her any chance to escape, only laughed like a predator and squeezed her "prey" tighter.

Eventually, Kimika decided to stop resisting and, with an ironic smile, asked, "I don't have a chance to refuse, do I?"

Toga, laughing, replied, "Of course not! You're mine now, and I won't let you go that easily!" She hugged her friend tighter, rocking the swing with a smile on her face. "So forget everything around you and let's have some fun!"

Kimika couldn't help but smile in response, even though there was still a hint of anxiety in her heart. Toga, with her carefree and energetic spirit, seemed like a true source of positivity right now. The feeling of fear gradually faded, and Kimika began to fully enjoy the moment.

And despite her fear of swinging, especially on this old structure, Kimika suddenly felt a sense of safety while in Toga's embrace. This closeness and her friend's joyful energy proved to be so soothing that she began to enjoy the moment. Even with the creaking of the wood, which seemed to threaten to fall apart at any moment, Kimika laughed along with Toga, allowing her worries to fade into the background. She realized that what mattered most right now was this moment, filled with happiness and carefree joy.

They didn't notice how quickly time passed, and soon, after numerous games of tag, both were completely exhausted. Toga always took on the role of the chaser, while Kimika had to run away. Toga loved this game immensely: she imagined herself as a predator and Kimika as a small, white, delicate rabbit, about to become her prey. Each time she caught up to her friend, joy blossomed in her heart at the thrill of victory.

When Toga caught Kimika again, who was breathing heavily as if she was about to collapse onto the ground, she realized this was her chance. Toga hugged her friend tightly, sat down on the ground, and placed the little rabbit on her lap like a chair. She began to gently stroke Kimika's head, preparing to reveal an important secret.

"Do you still have the strength to run away?" Toga asked, carefully watching the expression on Kimika's face. Hearing the barely audible words, interrupted by heavy breathing, Kimika replied, "No… but it… was fun… I think… we can… play again tomorrow…"

Toga felt that she had finally waited for her moment. "Little helpless rabbit, I won't let you go!" she declared with a playful smile. "You've already become my prey, and if you try to run away after I show you a part of myself, then you won't be able to run freely anymore!"

These words sounded like a metaphor, and Toga smiled ominously, hoping that Kimika would understand the importance of what she was about to learn and would stay by her side. If not… Toga realized how deeply she had come to love Kimika, who, despite all her antics, remained close and seemed to enjoy it. This thought completely consumed her and hardly scared her at all: *'If you try to run away, I'll make sure you're always with me, like a real little rabbit in a cage,'* she thought, imagining how she would keep Kimika under her watchful eye, protecting their happiness from the world.

She could no longer imagine her life without Kimika, and this love was growing stronger. In her heart, there arose a need to protect her friend, even if it meant taking radical measures, even if Kimika didn't want it. She didn't want to lose the one who made her happy, and she was ready to do anything to keep Kimika close, like a beloved pet to be cherished and pampered, regardless of any potential hatred from her side.

Kimika, feeling a slight unease from the words she had heard, thought it was just another joke from Toga. So, unaware that it could be something incredibly terrifying, she smiled and said, "Of course, I'm ready. You've always supported me, albeit in your own way." 

A joyful smile blossomed on Toga's face, and her cheeks flushed lightly with happiness. She hugged her friend tighter, as if in an incredibly strong grip from which Kimika wouldn't be able to break free without permission.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine," Kimika said, trying to encourage Toga, who, in Kimika's opinion, was still hesitating. She genuinely wanted to support her friend, ready for anything, in her mind. But suddenly, she felt a tingling on her neck. In an instant, Toga, with a playful glint in her eyes, bit her. 

Kimika was taken aback, feeling Toga starting to drain her blood. She was terrified by this, as she had been ready for anything — but not this. Trying to escape, she realized it was impossible, and as she attempted to scream for help, Toga instantly covered her mouth while continuing to drink her blood.

Kimika felt herself growing weaker and weaker. Every part of her body screamed in fear, wanting to escape and break free, but none of her attempts were successful. Toga held her tightly, like a python with its prey. Kimika even began to feel Toga sucking her blood more aggressively, but then she suddenly stopped. 

"I'm sorry... I thought you...," Toga began to speak, her voice barely trembling. Tears appeared on her face, and she couldn't hold them back as she realized that her friend had been trying to escape the whole time she was drinking her blood. Toga knew she had gone too far, but the taste of Kimika's blood was like honey, and she couldn't pull away.

In her heart, Toga felt a deep desire to keep Kimika close, even if it meant taking away her freedom. She was prepared for such a reaction but secretly hoped that Kimika would stay with her willingly. However, the realization that she could hurt the friend she had come to love was unbearable. Unable to withstand the pressure of her emotions, Toga began to cry, feeling that she had lost Kimika and that she would no longer be by her side. 

Kimika, who Toga had released, stepped back, wanting to flee. But when she turned and saw her friend's tears — the one who always laughed and had a smile — her heart filled with pain. She had promised to support Toga when she said she wanted to reveal something very important, but now she had run away, leaving her in a difficult moment.

'You trusted me,' Kimika thought, feeling fear and guilt intertwining in her heart. Even scared and feeling pain at the site of the bite, she reached out to Toga, trying to comfort her. 

"Toga, please don't cry… I'm here, I support you. I don't want you to be sad." 

With that, Kimika tightly embraced her tearful friend, and it was the first time she did so out of her own will, rather than under Toga's influence, who always devised games or initiated such actions.

"If you want, you can drink my blood," Kimika quietly said, exposing her neck. Toga, unable to believe her ears, leaned in cautiously and began to drink again, this time gently, knowing that she wouldn't leave this time. 

Toga realized that if Kimika hadn't tried to escape, she likely wouldn't have been able to stop, as the taste of her blood was simply exquisite. This perfectly rich, sweet flavor, which captivated her deeply, seemed so flawless that Toga didn't know what to compare it to. She was losing track of time, feeling her desire grow with each sip. It seemed to her that she could enjoy it forever.

"I love you, Kimi," Toga whispered, pulling away for a moment to look Kimika in the eyes. Her words, filled with deep, unparalleled magic, seemed to unite their hearts as one. Kimika, feeling a powerful surge of emotions, smiled and quietly replied, "I do too." 

Hearing these words, Toga's heart raced even faster, and her cheeks flushed. Once more pulling away from the sweet taste, she said, breathing heavily, "You had... a chance to escape..., but now... you will stay with me... forever..., and I with you. We will... be together... until the very end." Her voice was so confident and piercing that Kimika had no doubt — this was not just a promise, but something more that she could only accept.
