High in the mountain plains lived a village of Rabbit hybrids, a peaceful little village out of reach from most dangers. many didn't find a reason to leave the safety of the village, probably because they didn't wish to face the dangers at the bottom of the mountains. There the naga people live, just waiting to hunt down whatever prey that may come down from the mountain.

At the bottom of the mountain was the Naga Kingdom, wedged between great mountains where the sun nearly shines. A proud hunting race, who liked to hunt those who are weaker than them. Some of those who are hunted are put in chains and forced to work, while others are eaten. It was this reason most small and weaker Hybrids avoid the Naga at all cost.

Prince Shouto of the Naga kingdom reluctantly stood next to his father's throne as they listened to his citizen's squabbles.

"This reptile ate my servant!" One of the Nagas shouted.

"It was just a mouse hybrid why are you making such a big deal out of it. Hybrid slaves like that are not hard to come by," The accused said nonchalantly.

"So then are you going to hunt me a new one then?!" The other spat.

Shouto shivered in disgust as the conversation continued. As the trial went on Shouto's eyes and mind began to wander as he stared out the window, up at the high mountains. Wondering what life up there in the sunlight was like.

"Come on Izuku, Denki don't be such a fraidy-cat," Y/n said as they traveled to the lower parts of the mountain.

"Were not supposed to go down this far! What about the traps the Nagas have set?" Denki cowered, as his ears drooped in fear.

"There's one right o-over there," Izuku stuttered in terror.

"Look a good batch of carrots," Y/n said as she eyed the bundle

Y/n stretched her legs and got into a ready position. With a calm breath, she dashed towards the trap. She quickly grabbed the carrots from the catch and jumping over the hammer bar that was support to slam down on her head. She jumped out of the way of a string trap net and stood victorious with her prize. Izuku just stood there in awe, while Denki fainted.

"Carrot," Y/n offered.

"You could have died or worse caught," Izuku sighed with slight frustration.

"you need to sort out your priorities," Y/n sighed as she took a bit out of a carrot.

"Are you sure you're a rabbit?" Izuku asked as he picked up Denki.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean rabbits have so much to fear, yet you run towards danger almost all the time," Izuku explained.

"I think we need more brave souls, Like All Might," Y/n cheered.

"Yeah, I admire him too. But ever since that injury he's been a lot like us. He Doesn't leave his house anymore," Izuku sighs.

"Well, I'm going to go deliver these to hi, You should probably take Denki home," Y/n said as she parted from her friends.

Y/n traveled to the farthest cottage in the village was All Mights house. an old Rabbit warrior in his prime. He would venture through Naga territory to get supplies from other villages and non-Naga Towns. But then he got injured at the worst time, as the village suffers a plague.

Yet all of the citizens are too scared to even set foot outside the village. So Y/n made it her mission to go to the Mouse village Nimh.

"Please stay safe Y/n," Izuku waved as he saw his friend off.

------------

"Why do I have to find that peasant a new servant?!" Shouto sneered.

"It was the only way to get them to shut up," Endeavor said simply. " Now Go!"

Shouto growled as he left the palace and made his way to the village Nimh. As he traveled through the cannon's he could smell something, Something sweet. He slowly and silently pecked around the corner and saw a beautiful figure, her beautiful H/c hair flowed in the wind. As Shouto tried to get a closer look he accidentally loosened a stone as it clanked on the ground.

Y/n's ears shot up as she scanned her surroundings when she spotted a red and white Naga sneaking up on her. Before Shouto could react The rabbit was already on the run. His instincts kicked in as he quickly chased after her.

Y/n dashed through the tunnels and weaved through pillars of rocks in attempts to lose the naga. She looked behind her to see that her hunter was gone. Her ears swiveled around listening for her hunter.

Shouto slowly sneaked up on his target from above, not trying to give away his position. He lunged and tackled rabbit to the ground, he wrapped his tail around her torso and began to squeeze. She continued to thrash so he opened his mouth and planed to paralyze his prey with his venom, But bit down on the prey spear as the rabbit continued to fight back. Now that he was up close he could see her beautiful features more clearly. Shouto stared into the Rabbit's determined E/c eyes as it slowly started to roll back. Shouto gasped as he quickly loosened his grip on her.

Y/n quickly grabbed a large stone and left hooked the side of his face. Shouto groaned in pain as he loosened his grip, giving Y/n enough from to escape his grasp. She quickly got to her feet and ran to a small cave in the canyon wall.

Shouto got up and tried to chase after the rabbit, but its cave was too small for his muscular frame. Peaking inside he could see the rabbit breathing heavily as she regains her composure and smiled defiantly at him.

"Nice try," Y/n laughed as she ran deeper into the cave.

Shouto just stared as his cheeks turned a slight red. His heart pumped faster and faster as her laughter echoed in his ears. All too unaware of the predator in the sky flying ahead who saw two potential prey. The bird of prey dove down on the unexpectant Naga.

After Y/n visited Nimh and obtained the median, it was back to another dangerous journey through the canyons. As she made her way through the canyon her ears picked up the sound of someone in distress. So she carefully peeked around the corner to see a large trap, and Y/n knew it wasn't a naga made trap.

Naga's preferred to after small prey, so they tend to make small and almost invisible traps. Only Birds of pray make traps with live bait and they are natural enemies and predators of Nagas. And sure enough, tied to a rock was her hunter the white and red Naga.

Y/n slowly and silently approached the trapped Naga but was quickly spotted by the tied snake man. So she slowly inched closer to the ropes as Shouto eyed her closely, as she started to snip away.

"Why are you helping me?" Shouto asked.

"Form before, when you spared me," Y/n said as she sliced through another rope.

"I didn't spare you," Shouto glared.

"your eyes gave it away. Your pupils were slits when you were crushing me and chasing me. All Might told me that was when your killing instincts are in control. When you let me go, your eyes were sad and round," Y/n smiled as she cut through the last rope.

Shouto simply stared in disbelief at this rabbit's kindness. The same rabbit he hunted before non the less.

"I'm Y/n," She said holding out her hand.

"Shouto," He said simply, and not returning to the hand gesture.

"You've never killed before, have you?" Y/n continued.

"I.. I just didn't want-"

--------

"RUN!" I shouted as a faint Andean condor hybrid swooped through the sky.

Shouto gasps and quickly follow me as the Andean condor gave chase. It swooped down and dug it's talons into my bag, hosting me into the sky. I panicked as I watched the ground become farther and farther away as I tried to break free from my straps.

When Suddenly a spear logged its self into the Andean's wing. it quickly released me as I fell and his tall slab of rock, hard. Things instantly went black.

I felt odd like something was wrapped around be. It was cold and warm at the same time. I forced my eyes open to a dark cave just barely illuminated by the moonlight. Then that's when I noticed my head was resting on a bare chest, while the lower half of my body was entangled by snake coils. Calming myself I looked up to see my capturer and it was indeed Shouto, sleeping peacefully. It was pretty cute, and he was pretty handsome up close.

Suddenly he started to turn over and the sudden jerk of movement made me whimper in pain as I felt like my head exploded.

"Sorry, are you feeling okay?" Shouto asked awkwardly.

"Just happy I'm not dead or eaten, "I groaned.

"That's good," was all he could say.

"THE medicines!?" I gasped.

"I have it, The bird brain dropped it," Shouto said as he shoulders me my bag.

"So what are you going to know. I am at your mercy?" I asked, slightly dreading what the answer might be.

"I'm... I'm going to take you home,'' He said simply.

"You.. are?" I asked in a slight surprise.

"I didn't mean to let you go the first time, but you saved me despite that. So This is my way of returning the favor," Shouto explained.

---------

"Thank you, Shouto," Y/n smiled as her eyes sparkled in the moonlight.

Shouto blushed heavily as Y/n slowly started to rest her head on his bare chest. He could feel the warmth of her cheek on his chest as she snored softly.

The morning came quickly as Shouto carried the Injured rabbit through the canyon and a bit up the mountain.

"Well this it, I can't go any farther," Shouto said as he help Y/n off his back.

Shouto handed her bag back with a ghost of a smile. Y/n bowed in thanks as she started to make her way up the mountain. She stopped and quickly turned around and gave him a peck on the cheek. Shouto's face bursted red as he watched her quickly scale the mountain.

Shouto's heart fluttered in his chest as it felt like gravity had vanished. As he turned to return hope he silently hoped to run into her another time in the canyons.
