Important

'I c-can't breathe...' My mind was fogging, the lack of air made me dizzy.

With my last remaining strength and will disappearing, I had finally succumbed to the darkness.

But before I had gone, a flash of green came across my sights.

"Are you even capable of holding back?!" The shrill voice of Recovery Girl shouted at the Pro Hero All Might, himself coughing and staying silent in fear of angering the elderly woman further more.

"If you'd hit them any harder, there'd be no possible way for them recover! Especially for Midoriya's lower back!" Recovery Girl clicked her tongue in annoyance, glaring at the blonde hero then turning to where the three students lay. 

Midoriya had been conscious throughout the whole scolding from the healer, but both Bakugo and Kurayami had been completely knocked out by the amount of injuries and pain they had received prior. 

"Bakugo will be unconscious for a while. But Kurayami, what were you thinking when strangling her like that?! Were you trying to kill her?!" Recovery Girl walked over to the board by the bed where the bi-coloured hair girl slept.

Her torso, neck, arms and hands wrapped in layers of gauze, clear purple and blue bruising peeking out from the wrapping around her neck from where All Might had took in his hand. 

"Fractured bones in the wrist and hand along with several ribs broken. They could've punctured one of her internal organs had she continued on fighting. She's a girl, All Might. She isn't as muscled or strong in terms of physical strength compared to these two." Recovery Girl looked at the girl with a sad look, before turning to a guilty-looking All Might.

"In the meantime, I'll put you three in beds at the school. Todoroki and Yaoyorozu are both resting there, too." With that, All Might had taken the two unconscious students into his arms, taking special care to not move them too much.

Izuku Midoriya had decided to stay back to watch the rest of the exams, wanting to observe and learn more from seeing the fight between students and Pro Heroes, to which Recovery Girl had reluctantly complied.

'What a kid, you're going to be really something...' All Might thought, looking over his shoulder to glance at the green haired boy one more time before exiting the small tent.

'This guy too, young Bakugo. That is because, you sure do smile when you're up against a towering wall...' Looking down at his arms where he held the unconscious blonde, All Might had recalled of all the times the boy had merely grinned and fought on in every situation.

'And you, young Kurayami. Your resolve and care for friends would certainly do you good in the future.' All Might also placed his gaze onto the girl, only to have his wrapped up arm to catch his sights where a frown replaced the smile on his face.

'But, this power of your's on the other hand...'

-x- TICK -x-

Not long, All Might had gotten both Bakugo and Kurayami into the school's infirmary where he laid them onto vacant beds beside each other, his entry catching the attention of the other two who were in there.

"Hello there, All Might-sensei." Yaoyarozu greeted the teacher, only to look at the beds and gasp in horror, both of her hands covering her mouth as her eyes widened in shock. "Is that, Shiro and Bakugo?"

At the sound of the familiar name of the dual-coloured haired girl, Todoroki instantly shot up from where he sat on his bed and looked at the bed where said girl lay with multiple bandages wrapped around her figure.

He could feel his own heart drop at the horrid sight before him, the bruises and the bandages smeared with blood -both fresh and dried- that had yet to be cleaned and replaced. The bandages around her neck were concerning to him, exactly what had been going on through their battle?

Todoroki went and stood next to the bed where the girl lay, watching as her chest rose and fell from her breathing. At least she was still alive, he thought.

He leaned in closer to push stray locks of her white hair away, stopping midway when seeing the purple bruising around her neck, seeming to form the shapes of fingers that curled to the back of her neck.

"All Might, did you... strangle her?" He could hear the shaking anger in his own voice, his hand cautiously hovering over Kurayami's wrapped neck. 

Yaoyorozu upon hearing his words, rushed to the other side of the girl's bed to inspect, only the see the marks that just proved Todoroki's words. She gasped, both in disbelief and horror at the sight.

All Might merely stayed silent, feeling the guilt swelling in the pit of his stomach at hurting his students to such an extent. He had gone too far, but he didn't stop himself. 

"You could've killed her!" Angered by the man's silence, Todoroki glared towards the Pro Hero, eyes wide with newfound rage. "Had you not known that your strength was so strong all this time?! Or did you simply not care about the fact that she is not Midoriya!" 

His yells of anger quieted the whole room in an instant, Yaoyorozu trying to prevent the tears from escaping her eyes as she looked at Kurayami, while All Might looked down with a solemn expression.

Todoroki glared at the man for a few seconds more then snapping his attention back to the unconscious being in the bed. His hands were shaking, from anger at his teacher and also from the fear of Kurayami's well-being.

"Get out." Todoroki's voice was quiet, barely above a whisper as he sat on the chair beside the bed, taking the bandaged fingers of the bi-coloured haired girl into his own as a form of his own self-comfort and reassurance.

All Might gazed sadly at the students, wanting to speak up but not knowing how to, and then just shaking his head and leaving as soundlessly as he could. 

With his fingers tangled with her's, Todoroki stared at her peaceful face where a small patch of bandage was on her cheek as well, a large bruise underneath it. Gauze also wrapped around her head, a particular spot being drenched in red where her head bled.

As if sensing his presence, Kurayami stirred in her sleep, inaudible murmurs coming from her mouth as both Todoroki and Yaoyorozu leaned in to hear what she said.

"To-doro...ki..." Said male only took her hand in his more tighter -but still gentle enough to not hurt her, Yaoyorozu sighing before looking up at the boy to see his gaze being filled with a certain expression.

Yaoyorozu smiled, she knew of the two's feelings toward each other. She just hoped that they would realise that it was mutual sooner or she'd have to step in and help her friend. She stood from her seat, alerting Todoroki. "I'll give you some time to her, Todoroki." And with that, she left.

Todoroki sat in silence, his eyes trained on the sleeping figure, remembering the words he had said before the day of their exams.

Kurayami looked up from their hands too see his eyes staring into her's, a seriousness in them that she had never seen before. "Shoto?"

Kurayami could feel their fingers suddenly intertwining, looking down at his hand to see him clasping them together. She could feel the heat rising to her ears and cheeks.

"Shiro. I must tell you something after the exams." He said, shocking her as she looked back at him. 

"O-okay, but why after the exams? Why not now?" She questioned, only for him to give a small smile, his other hand lifting to cup the left side of her cheek.

"It's a surprise. But I assure you, it is just as important."
