Kiribaku - Hostage

Ch 1 - Bring him back

It was a few moments after the sun had set, when the blond boy heard the news. As the dark blanket of night was slowly covering the Earth, for that moment, everything had turned silent in his mind.

Bakugou could only hear the small trickles of rain that started to hit his wounded naked body. He was in the midst of a fight, pro heroes against the League of Evil; and they were losing.

In fact, they were all cornered, most of the heroes wounded, some even badly injured. Bakugou himself, was covered with scars throughout his whole body, and there was even an arrow that had pierced him right below his left shoulder. At that time he didn't even feel it, he was numb due to the adrenaline. But now; now it was different. Now the pain mingled with his screeching headache, and his mind was numb

It was Kaminari that came with the news.

"...They've got him..." He said, as he tried to avoid the blond boy's gaze.

"Huh? Who do they've got? Why would I care shit Kaminari..?! I'm in the middle of a fight!" Yelled Bakugo as he barely avoided an arrow that was coming right at him. But he was scared. Affraid of Kaminari's next words.
What if he was talking about ...him?

Kaminari remained silent for a moment, and that drove Bakugou mad. But he didn't want to show it. "What is it fucker??" He simply returned and turned his face away, he was scared.

Kaminari gulped down as he shoot his electricity towards one of the villains.
"..It's Kirishima.."

A ringing sound pierced Bakugou's ear as numbness filled his whole body.
"What about him..?" He spoke trying to sound calm, but deep down his chest was aching, he had never been more affraid.

Kaminari didn't answer, he averted the boy's gaze and kept fighting.

Bakugou couldn't take it anymore.
"I ASKED WHAT ABOUT HIM, YOU ASSHOLE..?!!!"
His mind was completely numb, and for a second he had forgot all about the villains and the fight. He rushed and grabbed Kaminari by the collar, forcing him to face him. "TELL ME!" He yelled as he tried his best to keep his eyes from shedding tears.
In his mind there was only one thought.
What if he...
No. There is no way. Kirishima is strong. He is. Stronger than most heroes.

He gulped down

"For fuck's sake, just tell me you asshole!" Tears were forming in the corner of the boy's eyes.

Kaminari noticed it and quickly looked away. He had never seen Bakugou like this.
"I'm sorry.." He whispered under his breath. "They hit him. Hard. They pierced his stomach.."

The blond boy felt his eyes close up, as a knot was piercing his throat. He wanted to throw up.

"They've got him. They've got him Bakugo," Kaminari was now on the verge of tears " They said they're gonna kill him. Unless..."

"UNLESS WHAT?"

"Unless...," The boy with the longer hair drifted his gaze away. "Unless you turn yourself in.."

Bakugou froze in place, beads of sweat trickling down his spine.

"Don't do it Bakugou, after we beat those assholes here we'll all go and save him together-"

"..Everyone is injured.."

"It's still better than you barging in alone. That's their plan after all. To get you. If we wait-"

Bakugou turned away as he fixed his arm equipment. "We can't wait. You said it yourself he's badly hurt-"

"But what good would it make-"

"What do you want me to do idiot?! Leave him die?" The boy inhaled deeply as he tried to steady his breathing. "I can't do that. It's Kirishima. He wouldn't- He'd never abandon me. I could never abandon him"

"But you are their target! They want to kill you Bakugou-"

"So be it. I can't just abandon Kirishima...."

Not him

Kaminari didn't talk back for a second. Truth is that he also cared about Kirishima. He could never forgive himself if they just let him... Die.

The thought alone made the boy whimper.

"Fine," He spoke as he turned to face Bakugou. "But I'm coming with You-"

Before the boy could finish his sentence an arrow grazed his cheek.

"Not a chance," spat out Bakugou. His voice was calmer than before, his newfound determination apparent in his tone. "We still haven't finished here. I'll need to cover up for until I'm back-" He coughed up a little blood after that, he was wounded, deeply. But he didn't care. After all he was a hero, right ?

Kaminari looked back at him concerned. He knew that he couldn't stop him, no matter what he'd say. "If you are not back in an hour-"

"Yes, if I- we are not back in an hour tell the others," spoke Bakugou as he cut some fabric from his pants and tied it on his injured shoulder.

"One hour," repeated Kaminari. "Not a minute more"

Bakugou nodded as he landed a final hit on the villain.

"I'll bring him back!" He yelled.

I'll bring him back, he repeated as he bit his lower lip.

He wouldn't cry.
