When the Days are Dark

Chapter 6

You groaned as you rolled over to your side. You grabbed your phone and noticed you woke up before your alarm went off. Yes, you were in your room. You refused to stay the night with Bakugou because you were still mad at him and because you refused to sleep in bed with a drunk. They always stink of alcohol, and the smell is putrid.

You closed your eyes and went back to sleep, only for the alarm to go off twenty minutes later. Honestly, that twenty minutes felt like two hours. Today, everyone had to wake up early because Bakugou wanted to have a meeting. "Ugh-", you slid off the bed, onto the floor.  All of a sudden, the memories of last night flooded through your head. "FUUUUUUCK-"

"You're loud,"  someone said from your bathroom. You raised an eyebrow, watching as Denki walked out. "The fuck are you doing in my bathroom?" You asked, sneering at him. He made the same face, mocking you. "Using it, duh. What else would I do, Bestie?"

"Bestie?" You questioned, walking over to your closet to get something to wear. "Mhm," he hummed, going over to your bed to sit down. He kicked his legs like a child waiting for a present. You pulled out your clothes and walked into the bathroom. "What happened to you last night?" Denki asked loudly from his seat.

"What do you mean?" You asked, walking out as you were pulling your shirt down. "Mina and I couldn't find you. And when Sero came and got us you and Bakugou were gone." He explained, watching you pull your braids into a ponytail. "Heard you got into a fight with some ugly dude."

You cringed and put on your house slippers. "Yeah, but it's nothing... Nothing happened." You muttered, opening the door. "Come on," you ordered, walking out of the room as Denki began to follow. "Yeah, right~" he sang, closing the door behind him

You were now at the main house's meeting room. The room was hot and tense, everyone was silent and waiting for Bakugou to enter the room. When he did, he immediately slapped a manila folder onto the table. On the folder, it read, "Hitoshi Shinso".

"Hitoshi Shinso, age 17, manipulative bastard... I want him in the gang. Go find him and bring him to me by the end of the week." He said before slapping another folder onto the table, "Shota Aizawa... Stay away from him, at ALL COSTS!" He said loudly and glared at us as if he was asking everyone if he was clear.

We all nodded and he proceeded, "I'll tag along with my team. In the file is Shinso's schedule, thanks to Jiro's team. But that won't make the job easier. Uraraka team, go on your daily runs and patrol the west. My team-"

"OUR team." Mina interrupted, quietly, earning a sharp glare from Bakugou. "Bitch- Fine. Whatever. We'll go to the east and search. IF you find Shinso, don't approach him rashly. DO NOT fight him. DO NOT hurt him. Same with Aizawa." He said. He emphasized the words to burn them into everyone's brains. He sounded like a teacher who was repeating familiar rules to their misbehaved students before leaving for a field trip. "Call me if you run into either of them."

"We leave in 15." He nodded and walked out.

Mina grabbed the two files and walked out as well, you followed behind her. "So what's the deal with this Aizawa dude? He's dangerous?" You asked, taking the file to look at it. "Nah, just another old dude that Bakugou has beef with. If he catches us, he'd hospitalize us."

"How do you know?"

"Happened to an old member, Mineta. He's been... gone for a while." Mina explained, shrugging as she went to get her weapons. "He's dead?" you asked, with genuine concern. Mina was saying this all too casually, even though it's an upsetting topic.
