Bakugo was holed up in some random guest bedroom for a whole day because of Todoroki, even though he protested so verbally. Todoroki took him out the next day, however, and it seemed like they would be going far because Todoroki had pack on his sack that he soon handed to Bakugo. It was heavy and Bakugo was pissed.

He wasn't some servant or butler, he was a warrior born and bred. Letting Todoroki get away with all these things was getting on his last nerve, and if it wasn't for their stupid bond, he would've snapped and killed him by now. But that was the thing about blood bonds, if Todoroki died, he died right along with him.

But Todoroki hadn't commanded Bakugo to do anything yet, so it wasn't as bad as Bakugo had originally thought. He walked into the deal thinking Todoroki would keep him in the cell to rot away and only take him outside when he needed him to fight. But instead he ended up having to stay by Todoroki's side all the time, and if he wasn't next to him, than he was locked up in that fucking room.

It had only been a couple days, but Bakugo was already bored.

"We're here," Todoroki suddenly said after hours of trudging through thick forest. In front of them stood a wooden cabin, vines sliding up the wood and flowers blooming all around the small patch of grass around the house that seemed to hit the sun perfectly.

"The fuck kinda shit shack is this?" Bakugo asked. It looked like something a witch would inhabit, and Bakugo hated witches.

"How rude," a voice suddenly said, coming out from behind Bakugo with a basket of flowers in her hand, a bunch of weird gadgets swinging around her tool belt, and thick goggles on top of her head."This shack right here is made out of custom fiber wood only found on plaster trees in the Dense Jungle. It can last thousands of years through any kind of weather without having to care to it, and could be used as a source of food in times of need."

Bakugo glared at her. Something about her seemed off to him, he couldn't let his guard down."The fuck are you? A witch or something?"

"I'm Hatsume Mei." She smiled, putting out an open hand to Bakugo that was covered in plant sap. He just stared at it, wanting to attack the girl for being so stupid.

"This is Bakugo Katsuki, he's a Dragon Tamer. We recently formed a blood bond and I became his Dragon Rider," Todoroki introduced for Bakugo who glared back at him.

He obviously didn't want Deku to know about their relationship, but he tells this chick right away? The fuck was he thinking?

"I already knew about your bond with Todoroki, Bakugo," Hatsume said, as if she had read Bakugo's mind."Because I'm a seer."

Oh, she did read his mind. Fucking seers.

Todoroki noticed Bakugo's anger and put a hand on his shoulder."Bakugo, be nice," he mumbled to him, moving to follow Hatsume who was already leaving to go inside her house.

It was one of those houses that tricked your mind, Bakugo noticed, while it looked small on the outside, inside it actually held two different rooms, a bedroom and living room with a kitchen. Each room itself was fairly small, but it was probably due to all the things she had scattered around.

She put the flowers down, sitting on a rug right next to her fire place. Todoroki and Bakugo followed suit, sitting down across from her.

"So what can I do for you today, my dearest prince," she said jokingly, rubbing off the plant sap on her pants.

"Please just call me Todoroki," Todoroki said back, obviously not catching on."I need an emblem made for Bakugo, something big enough to fit inside one of the beads of one of his necklaces."

Hatsume stared down at Bakugo's necklaces, picking up one of the thicker ones and testing it out in her hand."Alright, I think I have a couple that will fit perfectly. But which one of my cute little babies do you want? We have the red of revenge, blue of..."

Bakugo was at a complete loss. He had no idea what they were talking about. Emblems? What were those? He had heard Todoroki talk about them before but besides that he was clueless. And he said he didn't want Bakugo being touched but when this Hatsume chick grabbed at him he seemed perfectly fine with it. Was it because she was a seer? Or was their relationship really that close?

"Ok, its decided then! I'll go get it right now!" Hatsume shouted, jumping up from her spot on the floor.

Before she could move, however, Todoroki cut in."Also, I want a marble. Preferably a red one."

"Alright!" She hummed back cheerfully, skipping off into her bedroom.

Bakugo stared Todoroki down, trying to decipher what he was thinking or what the fuck was going on. It was like he was disoriented and a hazy fog was laying right over the truth.

"Bakugo are you hungry? Or do you have to go to the bathroom?" Todoroki suddenly asked.

"What? No, I'm fine you fuck face," Bakugo growled back, resisting the urge to look back at Todoroki.

Hatsume came out again and Todoroki stood up, so Bakugo followed him. She handed him two small pouches, one looking a little larger than the other."Do you want me to put on the emblem now?" Hatsume asked.

"No, thats fine," Todoroki said back, giving her the smaller pouch."I'll give him the marble now and then put the emblem on afterwards."

"Ok!" Hatsume suddenly looked excited, fidgeting where she stood as she watched Todoroki take out a red ball from the pouch in his hand.

Bakugo couldn't help but stare at the marble, something foreign stirring inside him. What was this? He felt like he had seen something like it before.

"Oh gosh, I'm so excited!" Hatsume squealed."Its been so long since I've seen someone use a marble!"

Bakugo tensed at her words, not liking how they were both looking at him, preferably his stomach."W-What they fuck are you gonna do?" Bakugo asked, cursing himself for acting so nervous. He felt danger approaching but couldn't move for the life of him.

"I'm glad you're vulgar and don't wear a shirt," Todoroki said, stroking his hand along Bakugo's stomach and making him shiver."If you weren't that would mean I would have had to get you a new one."

"The fu-"

Suddenly Todoroki's left hand was on Bakugo's shoulder, and he slammed the other into his stomach. The wind was knocked out of Bakugo and, as he struggled to control his breathing, another punched was aimed at his stomach, this time bypassing his flesh and breaking right into his stomach.

Bakugo screamed, clawing at Todoroki to try and get him off, but his strength was losing him. Todoroki was killing him, moving his hand further up Bakugo's innards to the point where some of his intestines started to sag and even fall out of his body. Bakugo choked, bile burning in the back of his throat and pouring out of his mouth in the form of blood.

Scattered thoughts were running through Bakugo's mind. He didn't know what was reality anymore. Where did his body start and end? Why did he feel so hollow? He couldn't handle any more of it.

Pain.

Fear.

Hate.

Todoroki stopped moving, locating Bakugo's rib cage and searching for a certain crevice in between the ribs. When he found what he was looking for he paused, finding something else where he wanted to put his marble. Without a second thought he yanked it out, causing Bakugo to sharply intake as his stomach was suddenly free.

Todoroki smeared away some of the blood, finding the object to be another marble, this time blue."He had a marble in him already? Thats weird," Todoroki said, inspecting it closely."Do you think you could analyze whats inside, Hatsume?"

Hatsume took the marble, inspecting it herself as Bakugo started to recover. The giant wound in his chest was miraculously starting to heal, making his whole body feel like it was being flipped around and around. He coughed up some blood, his throat burning as saliva started to build up in his mouth.

He was going to kill Todoroki. No, worse than that. He was going to torture him slowly and make him feel the exact same pain he was until he was begging down on his hands and knees to Bakugo to let him go. And then he would kill him.

"I could but not in time," Hatsume said, handing the marble back to Todoroki."A marble can only stay outside its passengers body for five minutes, and I need at least ten to get some kind of read on whats inside."

He hated Todoroki. Every fiber in his being loathed him with a passion. Was this companionship? No, this was him being used as a slave. He would have none of it.

Todoroki nodded back."Thats fine, I'll do some research on it when I get back to my kingdom."

"Okay~"

A hand was suddenly shoved back inside Bakugo and the same blood curly agony shot throughout his body before he passed out, only thoughts on how much he hated Todoroki.
