From The Deep (Mer!Katsuki Bakugou x Mer!Fem!Reader)

Chapter 5

Bakugou swam around the cave once again exploring the place. He had just finished the odd food given by Y/n. He was hesitant at first, she had given him a piece of the shark that she had killed when they first crossed paths a few hours ago. Bakugou still didn't fully trust her and even so he was used to the small fish around the reef of his home. However his options were limited and even if it was a risk to trust a stranger he knew that he would either have to risk it or stay hungry until he manages to leave. As it turns out it wasn't as bad as he had expected it to be though he still preferred his usual food diet he would accept what he had for the time being.

When they were done Y/n had said that she would be going back to sleep for a while longer allowing Bakugou to continue studying the large cave. As it turns out it was supposedly daytime so she went back to sleep waiting for the sky to darken to swim to the more shallow water. Bakugou had come by a few more rooms, most of them not very interesting. But there were a couple of them that had caught his eye. The halls all had the green glow of the algae while most of the rooms held small creatures that glowed in white instead. These rooms were different however.

One room held swirled patterns of the algae by the entrance around a majority of the walls and roof but the algae eventually turned to the smile creatures glowing in white making the same pattern as it reached the center of the cavern. In the center the white light stopped and created a circle around something. Bakugou had to swim closer to recognize the objects within the circle. In the middle of the circle lay a spear made of old wood usually found on land that held the arrow head on the tip made out of stone with a land serpent design engraved onto one side. Next to the spear lay another stick made of wood found on land, except that this one was slightly bent as it had some sort of string attached to either side. This one held the engraving of a tiger shark in the middle of the wood. Bakugou continued to study the odd items that seem to have come from land trying to understand their purpose.

Bakugou noticed that there seemed to be something else engraved in the wood. He extended his arm to try and reach the object but someone had quickly stopped him. Bakugou was slightly shocked and confused at the sudden hand that grabbed his wrist and yanked him backwards a few meters. As Bakugou pulled his wrist out of the strangers grasp he turned with a glare as he searched for the culprit.

Bakugou let out a low growl as he looked at Y/n with a glare. Anyone could clearly see that Y/n was upset over something. "What do you think you were doing?!" She exclaimed angrily as she returned his glare. "I was looking around you idiot, the hell else would I do while your lazy ass is sleeping?!" Bakugou replied annoyed as he looked at her. "It doesn't seem like you were just looking around by touching things" she responded. "Well it's not like I swim into a room like this everyday day. What is this thing anyways?" He said. Y/n just looked at him as she exhaled and turned her body to look at the weapons made by human hands.

It was silent for a few minutes. Y/n had been looking at the weapons as Bakugou studied her face from the side. Finally Y/n decided to break the silence. "They were my parent's... and they're not here anymore... that's all you need to know" she said as she turned to face him. "I'd appreciate if you didn't touch what wasn't yours" after that she simply turned towards the entrance and left. Bakugou still had questions, 'why would her parents have human weapons?, what does she mean by they 'were' her parent's?, does she live by herself or something?' Bakugou continued to ask questions in his head as he swam out of the room choosing to leave the subject for another time.
