Our Time Will Come (Kamijirou)

Chapter 7: The Confrontation

"Over Here Kamanari!"

Ashido waved him over from one of the couches.  Everybody had gathered around Jirou and Damasu giggling and laughing.  Well, almost everyone.  Todoroki was doing his own thing on his phone on a different couch while Tokoyami sat in the corner brooding.  Deku and Uraraka were going over some paperwork at one of the tables.  Kamanari joined the others around Damasu, studying his face intensely.   He noticed Damasu giving him the exact same look that he was.  They locked eyes and Kamanari knew.

It's him

Damasu immediately spoke up, ending the brief second of tension.  He acted so friendly and natural.

"Hey man, I don't think I've gotten your name yet?" 

He extended his hand to Kamanari, who shook it back, acting just as natural.

"Chargebolt is my hero name, but you can call me Kamanari" 

"Oh you're Kyoka's friend! the one who had the accident right?

Damasu had an evil glint in his fake smile of concern.

"It was nothing but a scratch on my arm"

Kamanari glared, Damasu completely unfazed.

"Well that's good to hear"

He replied patting Kamanari on the shoulder.  Kamanari could see a crocodile like scab on his forearm.  

"Damasu, keep going about how you asked out Jirou"

Ashido interrupted, causing Jirou to blush

"Certainly!"

He replied grinning at Kamanari.  As the girls (besides) Jirou squealed in delight.  Kamanari, not wanting to hear the story of the love of this life being asked out by another man, retreated to a table by himself.  Moments later, he felt a tap on his shoulder.

"Hey man you ok?"

It was Deku.

"Can I talk to you?"

Kamanari blurted out, standing up suddenly.  

"Yeah sure"

Deku said raising his eyebrow in alarm.  Kamanari took him by the arm and led him to the far corner of the room, away from everyone.  

"Toxic Blade was killed tonight"

He whispered to his boss.

"What? How?"

Deke stammered, being shushed by Kamanari.

"I was staking out the address you gave me when the copycat killer showed up.  He went inside and I attacked him when he came back out, but he got away.  I then went inside and saw the body."

Deku was angry that the copycat had managed to kill another person who could help identify him.

"But that's not all"

Kamanari continued.  Deku looked back up at him

"During the fight, I managed to knock his hood off.  I wasn't one hundred percent sure until now, but the Stain Copycat is Jirou's boyfriend, Damasu." 

Deku looked at him skeptically, 

"Are you positive it was him?  Everyone else seems to love him.  Plus he's dating a hero, why would he carry on Stains crusade of killing heroes?"

"I'm not sure but I'm positive"

"You sure this isn't some petty jealous from high school?  I've seen the way you still blush around her"
