Torn Tribes

Chapter 10

Y/n and Bakugo had set up camp, Bakugo found wood while Y/n channeled enough energy to make a big enough flame to set the wood on fire. Y/n moved her hands towards the fire as she placed them on some of the wood, letting it catch fire as it soon started to burn the wood, causing smoke to appear and fire starting. Y/n smiled as she looked up at the sky while the smoke blew in the air, Y/n felt the breeze blow past her as she felt like she almost recognized it. "So, where do you think we are?" Bakugo asked as he sat down across from her and on the other side of the fire. Y/n looked over at Bakugo, "possibly a few hours from Góra and Basoa" Y/n said softly, Bakugo nodded.

"Where do you think the others are?" Bakugo asked, Y/n thought about it for a moment, "if the storm cleared not long after we were separated then they could have made it to the port, but if the storm didn't clear they could be on a whole other tribe" Y/n explained. Bakugo huffed. "How much longer until Kirishima wakes up?" Bakugo asked, Y/n smiled, "if we had fallen off at the four hour mark then he would have woken up the second they hit land if not an hour or two before" Y/n answered "now do you have anymore questions or was three enough?" Y/n teased, Bakugo rolled his eyes and looked at the ocean.

"We move by dawn. Look around for a town or shops, we need food and weapons if we want to make it to Góra with no dragon or witch" Bakugo stated, Y/n nodded, but she stopped when she heard the last part. "What's wrong with me? I have magic you know, I know how to make potions and I can fight, I've saved you more than you've saved me" Y/n said as she felt offended that he couldn't rely on her to save them if they were in danger. "It doesn't matter, I have more experience than you, I have been fighting since I could walk, I was trained for war, while you were being taught what berries were poisonous and what wasn't" Bakugo growled out.

Y/n felt a lump in her throat, she stood up, avoiding Bakugo's gaze. "I'll go look for food, I know what fruit is poisonous and what's not, since that's all I'm good at," Y/n said as she started to walk into the forest. "Y/n, I didn't mean it like that" Bakugo said as he watched her leave, he was about to follow her but knew it wasn't a good idea, as it would just make things worse, and more awkward than they already were.

Y/n pushed the leaves out of her face as she looked around for berries and other fruits. Y/n found a big leaf and decided it would be easier if she brought the leaf so she could carry things easily. Y/n broke the leaf and started to look around, soon finding some red berries. Y/n walked over to them and examined their colour carefully. She then noticed the blue tint in them, "poison" Y/n whispered as she moved to a different cluster of berries, she looked at the colour and smiled, "safe" Y/n said to herself as she picked as many as she could and placed them in the leaf. As Y/n walked around more, she ended up finding apples. Y/n climbed the tree and sat on a branch as she picked as many apples as she wanted and then slowly climbed down.

After finding a few more fruits she decided to walk back to the fire. As she made her way to the beach she made sure she didn't drop anything, the food she found, she made sure there was enough to last them till tomorrow, which meant they could only have a certain amount each.

Once Y/n made it to the beach she felt the cold sand hit her feet gently. Y/n looked up and noticed Bakugo was huddled closer to the fire, the temperature in Mirag would be life threatening to the people of Góra and even Basoa, so it wasn't anything Y/n didn't expect. Y/n walked up to Bakugo and broke a piece of the leaf off, placing it on the sand next to him and putting the fruits on it. "I made sure they weren't poisonous so don't worry," Y/n said as she stood up straight and walked to the other side of the fire.

As Y/n sat down she started to eat her berries, they had a sweet flavour to them with a hint of sourness. Which in Y/n's mind was a good berry taste. Y/n ate some of the fruit she collected and then laid it down as she wanted to save the rest for when she was hungry. Y/n stood up and walked over to the shore line, she sat down and looked at the horizon. The wind blew past her gently as she closed her eyes, taking a deep breath, the salty air making her situation seem nicer than it truly was. Y/n was lost in her mind as she felt the water gently touch her feet before returning to the ocean.
