Noble and Pride [Katsuki Bakugo x Shoto Todoroki]

Chapter 33 : Yamari

"Aww, you're furious I ruined your sweet little time~?" The demon cooed, grin enlarged each second passed and Katsuki gritted his teeth. Blood streaming non-stop from the still penetrated ice on his torso. Fuck, it hurt like hell. Katsuki could barely concentrate on this fucker's word and the pain.

Sparks of eruption smoke emitted as Katsuki clenched his fist tight. An intense and strong punch was suddenly aimed at the demon's face and Shoto stumbled to the side. His expression looked surprised, a bruise forming on his cheek and he felt his jaw was repositioned.

"Surprise, huh? Just because you're in Shoto's body, doesn't mean I won't hurt ya," Katsuki exploded the ice into pieces and free himself. "I won't kill Shoto but I'll fucking definitely, kill you!"

The other hand of his gripped onto his wound to apply pressure and Katsuki regulated his quickened breathing. Shit. He couldn't use his fast healing ability without turning to his dragon form, especially for severe wounds like this. That was how he was able to heal quickly back then at Ryotatsu. This would slow his movement and lessen the efficiency of his fighting movements.

However, he had no choice to worry about that. He had to give it all. As long as the demon was in Shoto, he couldn't break the promise to not let Shoto endanger anyone. He failed, nonetheless. Right after he let himself receive this gash.

A loud crack and the demon fixed his jaw, the bruise on his cheek faded as if it was nothing and the demon smirked. "Interesting. That's what I like about you, my king~"

"Shut the fuck up, you're getting more disgusting the more you open your fucking mouth!" Katsuki barked and launched forward, aimed his larger explosion which the demon dodged, jumping to avoid them and he swung his hand, black shaded ice enormously formed destroying the nature's previous picturesque look. Katsuki blasted them with his chained attack, punching through some that he couldn't dodge due to his slowed actions.

"It has been too long and I'm getting bored. How about I eat someone to rile you up?" The demon licked the trace of Katsuki's blood on his hand. "I thought you can heal yourself, oh so great king~ why are you facing me in that state~?"

"Bakubro! We heard the explosions and saw that black ice, some of the villagers asked us what happened-" A yell was heard not from far and Eijiro came running with the others. Other than Ochako and Katsuki who have seen Shoto's demonic side, the other gasped in surprise and looked at Shoto in horror.

Shoto was standing on top of his formed ice pillar, looking downwards at the incoming group. A long tongue licked across his lips and pitch-black eyes looked in excitement.

"You're bleeding-" Eijiro approached in worry and reached out his hand, but Katsuki responded by slapping it away. "This fucker is being serious this time. Get the hell away from here!" Katsuki roared.

"I want to taste more fear. Let's see...ah! The village!" The demon exclaimed and seeing their shocked face amused the wicked being.

"NO!" Katsuki clamored and Shoto used his ice to dash in a different direction, heading to the village while the others followed the ash-blond. Ochako used her barrier spell to try and stop the demon's movement but it crashed by just a swing of Shoto's hand, breaking through the wall with his fire.

Shoto was too quick for them to catch up, and Katsuki attempted to use his explosion to propel himself but his bleeding injury seemed to not allow him. The omega prince arrived on the said village, some villagers who were enjoying their peaceful life, paused their routine. Gazed at Shoto with surprised gasps and an alarmed look. Which eventually turned to the look of terror once they could see Shoto's terrifying appearance clearly.

"Run, each of you sweet beings. The one that gets caught will be my fine meal!" 

Katsuki could feel his breath hitched as soon as he saw the current burning village, the sight of harmed and aghast villagers. Everything was in chaos, screams filled the previous air that was nothing but ordinary chattering. By the time Katsuki finally detected where was Shoto, the omega prince was aiming his fire towards a lady and Katsuki quickly grabbed the lady out of the way. They rolled on the ground and the ash-blond grunted before yelling at the lady to run away and take her kids away.

"Awh. That's unfortunate," the demon pouted. "You don't care if your sweet Shoto is dying?"

"I fucking promised that dumbass. That I would never let him hurt anyone," Katsuki scoffed, slowly standing on both of his feet.

"Aren't you too confident? With such a state, alone, and wanting to defeat me?" The demon sneered.

"Kacchan is never alone!" Deku exclaimed, standing beside the ash-blond. Green shaded energy coursed through himself. "We'll save Shoto and get you out of him! It doesn't matter if we're weak as long as we're together!" Ochako added, pointing her wand towards the demon.

"Shoto is our precious bro. We'll never let anything bad happen to him!" Eijiro spoke out, along with replies of "Yeah! We won't back down!" Mina yelled.

A strong hurricane suddenly formed and headed to the demon which Shoto responded by dodging it instantly. The demon hummed, tilted his head to the side. "Ah, another of you. You're a familiar face,"

A sound of a horse galloping and Inasa stepped down from it, pulling out his sword. The turmoil was too loud, the knights were on the way and Inasa saved the people from being crushed by burning houses and get the injured ones to treatment. "I was with Shoto to comfort him every time you forced him to do this. I can't bear to see him sad again!" Inasa grimaced.

"Such a lovely sight. I wonder how much it'll ruin him after I destroy all of you," the demon held up both his hands, constructing waves of extremely high heat and drastic low temperature with both sides.

Seeing Shoto in such an appearance pained him so much. A memory of every time Shoto woke up with blood covering himself passed through. He could see how so much in torture Shoto would feel if he knew he killed yet another innocent. Or hurt anyone dear to him.

He was too late. He had already harmed Katsuki.

"You don't look like you're in a shape for combat," Inasa told the ash-blond and Katsuki merely clicked his tongue. "It probably would be you who's gonna hold us back, fucking baldy," the rapid mix of too low and too high temperature sent each of the discomforts, some even felt as if their skin began to pull off.

"I'm not so strong but I'm not going to sit still either," Inasa prepared himself into his fighting stance and the demon grinned broadly. Katsuki took a deep breath and tore apart his shirt, using it to tie around his torso to slow the profuse bleeding. Turning to his dragon form not only endangering himself but his friends. And he bet this havoc must already be big news to the next villages.

Figured that bastard of a king would find out his son's whereabouts too through this.

Seeing such a group of precious ones of Shoto stepping up to face him, made the demon laugh hysterically. He wondered how much darkness that would consume Shoto's heart after he killed them all. The quicker the demon could get full control of Shoto's powerful magic, of course.

"Haha! Come all of you, my sweet little dessert!"
