He's Mine

Chapter 12

Rain poured and thunder rumbled, the sky was a dark carpet in the growing darkness.

I was leaning against the cold gym wall, listening to the ball being hit inside. I shifted my position slightly and shivered, it was getting colder but I couldn't bring myself to go inside.

I wrapped my arms around my knees and despite the chill in the air I felt my eyes drooping, I felt lulled by the repeated sound of the ball and before I knew it darkness swept across my vision.

Kageyama's pov

I glanced to the window and frowned, I could have sworn I saw someone... Shaking my head I resumed serving the ball into the wall before stopping to catch my breath.

Something felt off... I looked back to the window and pursed my lips before sighing, dropping the ball and walking over to the doors.

Opening them I shivered as the cold wind blew some rain my way, I hadn't planned to stay this late but the rain had started pouring and before I knew it I was stuck.

I rubbed my arm before glancing around, I froze. "Hinata..?" I could see his bright orange hair and some of his body peeking out from behind the pillar thing.

Walking over I saw he was nestled up in the dip in the wall under the window, I frowned. *Was that him before...?*

Kneeling down I shook his shoulder but he didn't stir, how could he be sleeping outside in this weather?! I shook him harder but still, no response.

Sighing in frustration I mulled for a second before giving in and just picking him up, huh, he was lighter than I thought he would be.

I carried him back inside and placed him on the ground leaning against the wall before hurrying back to the door and closing it with a clang.

"Mmmm...." Hinata's head dipped slightly and a bit of drool leaked from his mouth, I closed my eyes and rubbed the bridge of my nose.

"What a child."

Deciding to just ignore him I picked the ball back up and continued to practice, hoping the rain would let up soon.

Hinata's pov

It's warm, I feel like I'm floating... Around me was nothing but grey and white mist that seemed to move and drift with no end.

I let out a relaxed sigh and snuggled further into the warmth, *Tired...* I suddenly stiffened as the warmth disappeared and blackness filled the mist, I tried to move but black tendrils tangled around my arms and legs as I struggled and thrashed,

"Help!- mph-"

I tried to call out but black slime dripped into my mouth, my eyes widened as it poured down from the mist and filled my mouth, nose, ears-

*drowning.. I'M DROWNING!!-*

I strained against it as it pulled me down, my chest was pounding and tears poured from my wide eyes as a silent scream filled my mouth,

It crept down my throat as I choked and suddenly I realised it wasn't slime. It was blood, thick red coppery blood. It filled my nostrils and senses and I just managed to thrash enough to get my head above it before it engulfed me entirely.

Down I was dragged, down into the suffocating mass, no matter how much I struggled I couldn't break free, blackness tinged the edge of my vision and my lungs screamed for air.

My struggles grew weaker and weaker as the blackness grew until only a pinprick of light could be seen amongst the red,

*Oh.*

*I'm dying.*

That thought echoed and drifted to the surface of my mind and for some reason, it calmed me.

I had stopped moving entirely but instead of panic a feeling of numbness had washed through me,

*Huh.*

*That's probably not a good thing,*

Just as The darkness was about to swamp me entirely a light suddenly appeared.

It flickered and grew stronger and stronger until it beamed. It swept the darkness away and the blood vanished, I could breathe again and I was floating in what felt like a warm cocoon.

A feeling of safety had replaced the numbness and I felt my breathing slow as a voice echoed and swept the last bits of panic away.

"It's okay.. I've got you, "

The last thing I remember as my eyes drifted shut was the feeling of warmth and that same voice whispering soothing words before darkness.
