Past Future, Future Past.

Chapter 40

After staying at the bunker for the night I got everyone ready to leave. I pack some of the canned goods I had found into a bag and made sure they didn't make too much noise. I didn't sleep much last night making sure everyone was getting rest. I was used to running on empty though, especially when moving from bunker to bunker.

Soon we were sneaking our way through the ruined city. I hear someone yell out and I quickly look around. I draw my knives and listen really closely to try and hear more to determine where the noise came from. I hear it again and headed off. I find a Nomu towering over someone.

"Stay here." I whisper to the others who had silently followed me.

The four of them nod. I sneak my way behind the Nomu. I then get ready before quickly jumping up its back and stabbing both sides of its brain expertly slicing its brain stem and dislodging its brain. It dies right away and collapses. I jump off and sigh.

"You alright?" I ask

"Izu?"

I swing around at the name and voice.

"Toshi." I happily run over to him and hug him tightly. "I can't believe it, you're still alive."

"course, I was trained by the best." he says. I giggle at this but then he freezes. "are you sure I'm not dead, I think I'm seeing ghosts." I look back to see the others coming out of their hiding spot.

"right, Lets get to a bunker, I'll explain everything there." I say letting him go. We both stand up and start to lead the group through the city. We make it to a safe bunker and start to relax. I gave Toshi some food since he looked to be starving.

"Thanks, I haven't eaten in three days." He groans pulling open the can and starting to eat.

"All good." I say smiling. "now, this Kacchan, Uraraka, todoroki and Aizawa are from the past."

"...right." Toshi says.

"how can you have trouble believing me when you are looking at the younger version of your teacher and classmates?"

"I'm not having trouble believing it, I just keep thinking I'm already dead."

"you're not dead." I groan. I walk over to a chair stumbling a little before sitting down and sighing.

"you alright?" Toshi asks coming over to me.

"just my knee, I think it's going to rain."

"you were always good at predicting rain with your knee." Toshi chuckles.

"that's nothing to laugh about, it hurts." Toshi pats my knee and I close my eyes sighing.

"you haven't gotten any sleep have you?" he asks. I shake my head.

"get some rest, I'll watch out."

"Okay." Toshi walks me over to the sleeping area. He holds my hand the whole time and I smile. He gives me a quick kiss before sliding the sheet across blocking the light from the main area from the sleeping area. I lay down and close my eyes.

I really was tired, trying to figure out what to do and making sure Kacchan, Uraraka and Aizawa were okay and safe was draining my energy.

"what the fuck was that." Bakugo asks the moment Hitoshi returns from putting Midoriya to sleep.

"what do you mean?" he asks dropping down onto his chair.

"you were holding hands, you kissed him!" Uraraka says. Hitoshi immediately shushes her. "Sorry."

"I guess he hasn't said much about this time then," he sighs. He leans back and crosses his arms. "I did that because we were lovers."

"were lovers, not are?" Todoroki asks. Hitoshi sighs, closing his eyes.

"we broke up because it was too hard, loving someone and trying to live at the same time during the end of the world isn't as easy as it sounds." he says. He sits back up with a small smirk "the amount of people that were killed by Nomu when having sex deterred anyone from having relationships."

"I didn't need to know that," Uraraka groans. Hitoshi laughs quietly. He looks over at my three students and his eyes betrayed his emotions.

"it's amazing to see you all, even if you are past versions of yourselves."

"the fuck you being so mopey for?" Bakugo asks.

"because the last time I saw you three, you got killed." Hitoshi hisses. The room falls to silence and Bakugo actually looked guilty. "Todoroki got killed because he refused to use his quirk to its fullest potential, Izu hated it, seeing you using only half your quirk to survive when he is quirkless but then you got killed because your body froze up from using your quirk too much, I don't really know the circumstances behind Uraraka's death though and for Bakugo, I was there."

"what happened?" Uraraka sheepishly asks.

"he saved Izu but got killed in exchange, Izu still blames himself, I can tell because of how he looks at you, what I don't understand is the way he looks at you sensei." Hitoshi says turning to face me.

"He says I was killed right before he returned to the past."

"he went to the past?" Hitoshi asks.

"yes, they found a time machine built by Hatsume Mei, completed it and came back to the past to kill Shigaraki to prevent the apocalypse, their plan was to have both Midoriya and myself return but Nomu attacked and my future self sacrificed himself to get Midoriya through and to blow the machine up." I explain. Midoriya has explained what happened vaguely. I could tell he didn't want to speak about it that much so I didn't push for it.
