What Is Free? (Kiribaku Midevil Au)

part 6

Bakugo and Kirishima looked over to Aizawa, who was the source of both the voice and the scarf. His eyes glowed the same red as the runes on the scarf. The scarf itself seemed to defy gravity as it ensnared the two.

"If you two are done. We're heading out and you're leading the way." He pointed his hand at Kirishima.

"Umm where and why?" Kirishima asked with his arms still bound.

"Maybe if you two would have listened you would already know." Aizawa said with a crazed look on his face. It was probably like that just put of pure annoyance but it still scared Kirishima. "Squads red and black!" He shouted to the various knight trainees around them. "We're leaving." He finally willed his scarf back to him, freeing Kirishima and Bakugo. Bakugo was quick to get up off the ground. He sent threatening glares and growls to anyone that might have even thought about laughing at him. Meanwhile Kirishima rubbed his arms. Although he didn't show it, being bound again pissed him off to no end. He vowed to himself he would be free. Only to have some homeless looking old knight restrain him with ease. He needed to get stronger if he was to protect himself anymore. Had the collar been off though, Kirishima smiled. He would have easily incinerated anyone that tried to chain him again. He looked over to Bakugo. The spar they had was the most fun he can remember having. Bakugo was a strong offensive person, almost constantly moving and attacking. Meanwhile Kirishima was a strong defense. It still needed some work, but he had the ability to become tougher than stone. The two of them would make a fantastic team. Although neither of them would admit that. Their prides too fragile for that. He noticed a group of people now surrounding him and Bakugo. Not as big as the crowd that watched them fight but still big. This included Aizawa, Endeavor, Izuku, Uraraka, that 'half and half's guy and some other random people.

"Well, uh, where are we going?" Kirishima asked.

"Where you escaped." Aizawa said. Kirishima's eyes widened and he gulped. He wasn't sure if he was ready to go back there yet. But his voice remained trapped inside him. Everyone's eyes were on him. Everyone was expecting him to take them there. He gulped.

"O-ok. Then let's go." He said and began to walk. His internal compass making it easy to find his way as usual. Although everyone was following him, no one would come near him. Well, no one except Bakugo. Everyone else was keeping their distance, but Bakugo stayed by him. Bakugo wasn't afraid of him. And why should he be? If anything Kirishima was more scared of Bakugo than Bakugo being scared of Kirishima. Although they had only known eachother for a little more than a week, Kirishima felt like he could trust Bakugo. He felt like he knew him despite not knowing much about Bakugo or his past. Heads turned to them and their group as they walked through the town. Usually he was used to stares. When the league had him he would be almost constantly stared at. But this was different. He didn't know why this was different but it felt different.

The scrapes of shoes on stones and the chatter of the market place does out and were replaced by the soft pitter patters of footsteps on a dirt path. The knights in training would chatter to each other. Kirishima tried his best not to listen in.

"Kirishima!" A smiling Izuku ran up to his side. He turned and smiled.

"Oh hey Izuku." He noticed that Izuku has dragged that 'half and half' guy up to the front with him.

"This is Todoroki! He is a knight in training too. He's my friend!" Izuku introduced him.

"No one cares Deku." Bakugo growled. "Nothing special about half and half."

"Hello to you too Bakugo." Todoroki said. He spoke in a dull tone. He looked less bored and it seemed like he was more relaxed now he wasn't at the other knight's sides.
