**Chapter 100: A Cut Above the Rest**

The touch of Himiko's cold fingers on my skin sent shivers down my spine, and I felt a wave of fear wash over me. Bakugo's angry voice echoed through the room again, "Don't touch her, you creep!" but Himiko just chuckled, her eyes glinting with excitement. Without warning, she reached into her toga and pulled out a small, glinting knife. I tried to struggle, but my restraints held me fast, leaving me helpless to stop her. Himiko's smile grew wider as she raised the knife, and I felt a surge of adrenaline as I realized what she was planning. Bakugo's voice grew louder, more urgent, as he shouted, "No, Himiko! Don't touch her!" but it was too late. With a swift, precise motion, Himiko brought the knife down, slicing it across my cheek. I felt a searing pain as the blade cut through my skin, and I cried out in shock and agony. Tears sprang to my eyes as I felt the warmth of my blood spreading down my face, and I struggled against my restraints, desperate to get away from Himiko's grasp. But she just chuckled, her eyes sparkling with delight, as she gazed at the blood welling up on my cheek. "See, Shigaraki, she looks cute like this!" she exclaimed, her voice dripping with satisfaction. She stepped back, admiring her handiwork, and I felt a wave of humiliation wash over me. Tomura's voice was low and thoughtful, "Ah, yes. The blood of a frightened victim can be quite... intoxicating, can't it, Himiko?" He steepled his fingers together, his eyes glinting with interest. Himiko nodded, her smile growing even wider. "Yes, boss. I just can't help myself when it comes to making my 'collections' look their best." She reached out, her fingers brushing against my cheek, collecting the blood that was welling up there. I felt a shiver run down my spine as she touched me, her fingers cold and clammy against my skin. Bakugo's angry voice grew louder, more furious, as he shouted, "You're going to pay for that, Himiko! I swear it!" but I just knew that I was at the mercy of these monsters, and that I was in grave danger. Himiko's eyes sparkled with excitement as she gazed at me, her knife still clutched in her hand. "I think I'll make her one of my favorites," she purred, her voice dripping with menace. "She's just so... adorable, don't you think, boss?"
