Dancing Shadows

Chapter Forty-Seven

Bakugou's POV:
   The next day, the entirety of class 1-A is up at five in the morning loading our suitcases onto the bus. When Cherry and I are done, we decide to find a place to sit while waiting for the rest of our class. Sonic and Pink Cheeks are sitting in the very front seat. Aizawa is passed out in his sleeping bag in one of the seats behind them. Cherry and I take a seat near the back where Shitty Hair and Pikachu are already sitting.

   "This sucks." Cherry grumbles as she puts my other earbud in her ear. I play something soft, hoping it'll help her fall asleep again soon.

   "Tell me about." Pikachu groans. "It's too damn early. And where the hell is the rest of our class?"

   "We saw them loading their shit when we got on." I lean against the window and Cherry takes the opportunity to use me as her pillow. I let her.

   After a few more minutes, our class is loaded onto the bus and we start driving. It doesn't take me long to fall asleep.

...

   I wake up to the sound of Cherry shouting. She sounds embarrassed. I open my eyes to see her face buried in her hands. Definitely embarrassed.

   I rub the sleep from my eyes before sitting up. I look around to see that Icyhot, Shitty Hair, and Raccoon Eyes are all sitting and talking with Cherry. "Ah, speak of the devil." Mina says.

   Cherry turns towards me and smiles when she sees that I'm awake. She motions to my hair and I quickly fix it. "What the fuck are you extras talking about?" I check the time to see that it's nearly five pm.

   "We were just asking about all the noise we heard coming from Ellowyn's room the other day." Icyhot explains with a knowing look.

   Cherry is blushing so hard that even her neck is turning red. At this point, the color of her face matches her hair. It's adorable.

   "We were just...decorating. Yeah, I had a few pictures I needed to hang up."

   There's a moment of silence where everyone in the group is trying to make sure they heard what she said correctly before they all break down laughing. "Decorating? Decorating!? That's the best lie you could think of?"

   She hides her face in her hands once again. Luckily for her, their teasing is interrupted when the bus stops and Aizawa tells us all to get off.

   We all step off carefully, knowing how first days at camp have been in the past, but instead of a challenge we are greeted by older woman. She's fair skinned with dark hair and blue eyes that remind me of those dogs with eyes that look too human. She looks like she knows too much.

   She embraces Aizawa in a brief hug before turning to face our class. "Hello everyone. I am Sora Aizawa. Please call me Ms. Aizawa" The class quickly breaks out into a collective murmur before our teacher shushes us. Ms. Aizawa motions to the dark wood mansion that stands behind her as she says, "For the duration of your time at this year's summer camp, you will stay in my home. While I am honored to provide shelter to such wonderful future heroes, there are still some ground rules that must be followed. First, no phones in my home. They will stay in my office for the duration of your stay. You must hand them into me before you come inside. This is non-negotiable." The group collectively groans. "Secondly, the use of quirks is not allowed inside the house. I use my quirk to disable any quirks within my home so you won't be able to use them. The yard and surrounding land is completely free reign."

   Of course, Deku immediately has questions. "Your quirk allows you to disable that many quirks at once? For that long? How does it work?"

   "There will be time for questions later."
