Fall. (K.Bakugou ff)

Chapter 17 | Start line

Third Person's POV,

Time flew so fast and Monday came. It was early in the morning, well dawn. Yuki who was usually on her bed still sleeping woke up energized. She fixed her stuffs and grabbed on a pair of sneakers and put on her jacket, she was going to the gym at 4.

She slid the door to the side and entered. Bakugou's still not around.

The USJ now was way different from what she watched in her screen. Now the exact copy's of disaster areas were more improved, they even had figure like dummies acting like people and animals. It was fascinating.

Now motivated, she thought of working on her own first and started walking towards what looks like a facsimile of a forest.

Upon arriving she began to reenact what she first did last Saturday, sat down. She wants to improve her technique more, only this time she harbors the idea of stopping a person's movement rather than an object's. Like their saying in medicine,  prevention is better than cure, so she thought it would be better to switch on prevention than antsy anticipation, to move first rather than to wait for the attack. It was a great idea she had, but there is a problem, the lack of target.

She wandered her gaze looking for possible targets and her eyes landed to the dummy birds. She decided to practice on the birds flying around the area and focus for the entirely of the alone hour she had.

Yuki stared at the birds as if they're her preys. 'I'm gonna hunt you down.' She chuckled at her dark jokes.

As she sat down, she closed her eyes for a bit and opened them again, focus now evident in her gaze.

Eyes deeply locked on the flying creatures, Yuki activated her quirk. She could feel her hands tremble a bit as she lifted them up, palms directed towards the birds' direction.

She's going to tame her quirk, that's what she's determined to do.

Bakugou entered the USJ after his long jog opening the door quite loudly. He was so sure that he's the only person in there since he was paired with a lazy ass that and, he was welcomed by the silence he was definitely accustomed to.

Searching for his phone in his pocket, he was astounded when he look up to see groups of distressed birds flying away from the forest.

Bakugou furrowed his brows. He was sure to ask Thirteen for permission on the entirety of USJ. So, the thought that someone invaded the place without his knowledge really leaves a bitter taste in his mouth.

"Who the freak is it?" He muttered.

Quick on his feet, he made his way to the place feeding his hungry curiousity. To his surprise, the previous commotion was the work of Yuki, it seems like the birds chose to fly away after becoming aware of their deeming demise. He chuckled as he took a look at the frozen creatures in the air.

It was a whole group of ravens. 'Dark.' He thought. Since when was she able to have more control on her power?

"What has gotten up your arse? You're early, extra." He decided to interrupt her training, Yuki heard his voice and turned her head towards her side where he is.

"My bed kicked me out." She told him and decided to deactivate her quirk. The once frozen birds started flapping their wings again.

Bakugou rolled his eyes to her obvious lie. "Let's go."

She stood up.  "Am I going to do that regime again?" She asked not liking the words flowing out of her tongue.

Bakugou turned to her, face harboring a smug look. "Probably." To this, Yuki sighed and followed him when he started walking. "Then... Why'd we switch training area?" She fired another question again irritating the blonde.

"Dumbass. We don't know where we'll be having that battle so it's better to prepare for unexpected shits... And we will only be training here on Mondays. You get it?" Yuki nodded understanding his thoughts. "So that's why the USJ." She muttered.

"But-"

"Oh, shut up will ya? Put your things down. Let's have a quick match." Bakugou stated stretching his arms. "Oh, why a match?" Yuki inqired again as she put down her phone and tumbler in the side.

Bakugou sighed, he does not know how long he could extend his patience. He's a short tempered person, he sure knows that too, himself, so the fact that he has to continue dealing with an air headed fellow who has a lot of questions up in her head, sure is testing his capability to hold out.

"Just... Let's put your training to test. Try to stop me with or without that quirk of yours."

"Fine then."

Standing on a quite wide platform Bakugou puts on a stance when she finally stood a good three meters far in front of him.

Small sparks lighting up in his palms began to show indicating that he has activated his explosion quirk.

Yuki trembled a bit from the pressure he was letting out, it was fiercely pricking on her skin like thorns, though it probably was just her nerves. She breathed out trying to erase her anxiety and stared back at her opponent thinking how she has to do this to finally stand on her own start line.

Bakugou moved so fast he was in front of her in a second. She unable to activate her quirk on timej barely evaded his attack. It happened a few more times that Bakugou snapped. "Aren't you going to show me what you have trained for or are you just going to continue running away?!"

"But you're so fast-" she wants to reason out but was cut off immediately. Bakugou caught her collar in his hands.

"You think your opponent's going to wait for you, dumbass?! Die then." He uttered as he stared at her right in the eye. He let go of her shirt though afterwards making her fall to the ground, her knees gave out.

Surely, his words stung.

'Like I don't know that.' She thought as she look at her palms remembering the times she felt so close to death. It was mortifying.

Yuki tilt her head upward, eyes meeting his. "Again." She uttered before standing up.

"What?"

"Let me try again... but just make sure you won't regret it, Katsuki." She told him, forgetting about her worries.
