Izuku grinned at the jaguar resting on his chest.
In return, Azur transformed into a tiny kitten, now perched comfortably on Izuku's chest.
Rising to his feet, Izuku watched as Azur relocated, settling once more in his hair.
"AWW, THAT'S ADORABLE, AHHHHH!" Mina couldn't contain her excitement and raced forwards to examin the little kitten snuggled in Izu's hair.
All Might and Mr Aizawa exhanged glances before relaxing their stances.Shoto strode towards Izuku Tanner trotting at his side.
"Look at that, I honestly thought that Rock Tiger was going to eat you" He said in his monotone voice.
"Same" Izuku laughed softly rubbing his chest.
Azur meowed softly standing and staring into Izuku's eyes from above.
"Whats up Azur?" Izu asked the little feline.
"I never thanked you for saving me" his voice spoke softly in his mind.
Izuku shrugged. Moving Azur from his head to his arms.
"Your not hurt are you" Izukus looked over the little jaguar for any signs of ingury from his recent battle.
"No! I'm a Woodland Jaguar! You think that tiger could have hurt ME" He puffed out his chest and wiggled out of Izukus hands landing on the ground with a huff.
A large black wolf suddenly approached gently bumping Izu with its head. Before lowering it's large head so it could stare into the eyes of Azur.
"If you where one second later Cat, he would have died" Kai snapped.
Azur rolled his eyes.
Izukus jaw dropped at he stared at Kai with wide eyes.
"Whats wrong Izu" Shoto asked frowning.
"I can understand him" Izu replied pointing at Kai who raised his head to look at him.
"IZU can you hear me IZU!!" A little voice barked drawing Izukus eyes to the ground. There stood an excited little fox.
"Yes Tanner I can hear you" Izuku smiled.
The little fox ran around in circles yipping incoherently.
"Stupid Deku" Izuku frowned turning around to see a certain blonde.
"Are you calling me Deku?" Izu asked pointing to himself.
"What do you think, Deku" He replied.
"I don't know Kacchan" Izu replied smiling.
Kacchan was about to reply but Kai bumped him with his head.
The light began to fade as the sun's golden rays dipped behind the surrounding mountains.
They spent the rest of the afternoon talking and telling stories.
Azur never left Dekus lap but he would stare at the other animals playing in the clearing behind them.
"Go play" Izu said softly to his new animal compainon.
Azur shook his head violently.
"Oh why not" Izuku asked
"I don't think they like me, last time I saw them they were ready to attack me" Azur stated remebering the school inccident.
"About that why did you attack the school?" This question drew the attention of his surrounding friends.
"I didn't attack the school" Azur huffed causing Izuku to raise an eyebrow.
"I was drawn to the school ok, I think it was you" Azur admitted softly.
"I have come across your sent trails through the forest so when I smelt you closer I had to see."
Izuku though back to when Azur leapt through the window. How had he missed the fact that he had been staring at him.
Sighing Izu stood and walked towards the other animals with Azur in his arms.
"Oh well I'm sure you and Kai can play" Izu set Azur on the ground and watch as the Jaguar returned to his normal size. Having to look down slightly to meet Izukus eyes.
"I will not play with that mut" Azur snapped
"And I will not play with an over grown kitten" Kai growled walking towards Deku.
"Now you two get along" Izu said and turned walking back to the group. Although he stopped when he heard soft paws behind him.
"AZUR!" Deku scolded "Stop being anti-social!!"
This caused his friends to laugh behind him.
Azur rolled his eyes, turned and walked straight past Kai to Tanner.
Izuku was mumbling to himself when he sat back down with the others.
"How did Azur reply when you asked why he attacked UA?" Momo asked
"He didn't attack UA, he was following my sent" Izu stated
"What to eat you?" Mineta asked.
"Clearly not" Shoto told the stupid purple grape.
"What I don't get is why a Woodland Jaguar a species that has never bonded with anyone decided to bond with you" All Might asked as he walked towards the group. Noah abling off to the other animals.
"I agree" Aizawa added his silver cat still asleep in his scaf.
"I think Silver's dead" he heard Kami whisper to Kirishima as they both looked at the cat.
"What you think his spirit animal has a ulterior motive for bonding to Deku?" Shoto voiced using Izukus new nick name.
All Might and Aizawa shared a look.
"LOOK BEAR I DON'T HAVE A REASON I BONDED TO IZUKU!" Azur yelled. Although the others heard a rawr.
Izuku looked over his shoulder and saw the bear and Jaguar glaring at each other.
He got up quickly and raced to the animals putting himself between the two.
Azur stepped closer to Deku in a protective way.
"Azur, Noah Enough" He yelled at the two towering animals.
"This isn't a coversation you should interupt cub" Noah told Izu
"I'm not a cub, and I don't appreciate the way you are treating Azur" Izu snapped.
"I forced him over here to make friends, not to be yelled at by a cranky bear" Noah huffed and looked away.
Izuku turned to Azur.
"And you, stop yelling and try having a civil conversation" Izuku growled at the jaguar who sighed and looked away.
"Look Noah, I don't know why I bonded to Izu. Just like how you don't know why you bonded to you human" Azur stated with a forced softness.
"Don't hate me since I don't trust you just yet" Noah answered.
Deku rolled his eyes but sensing the argument over he left the two.
As Izuku sat back down the spirit animals returned to their humans.
Azur walked over to Izuku and turned into his kitten form quickly climbing to his green curls.
"Guess it's time for bed" Momo laughed.
Deku slept that night Azur curled in his arms.
Wow this is fun to write.
