~ 18: Chicken Fight ~

Killua found himself sitting atop Kirishima's shoulders. How did he get there? Well, Bakugo suddenly decided to suggest the idea of having a chicken fight because his prideful personality wouldn't accept losing to Killua in a push-up competition just moments ago.

The boys all seemed to get riled up at the idea, so here they were: Killua on Kirishima's shoulders and Bakugo on Todoroki's.

"Why am I here again?" asked Todoroki. He wasn't sure how he found himself in this situation either.

"Shut up and focus, half n' half!" Bakugo whacked him from above. "Make sure you steer me in the right direction, got it?!"

"Okay..." Todoroki agreed with that blank expression of his. How were chicken fights even supposed to work? He had never done one before. "On second thought, Bakugo, I don't actually—"

"And gooo!" Kaminari and Sero whistled from the sidelines, interrupting Todoroki's last chance of a getaway.

Right away, Kirishima closed the gap between Killua and Bakugo, allowing Killua to easily clash his hands with the explosive blonde's.

Todoroki, who was still getting used to whatever this game even was, took notes from what Kirishima had done and moved Bakugo closer to the other boys, too. Bakugo was determined to make Killua fall; to make him fall so deeply that he might drown from being pushed so forcefully into the spring water.

However, Killua obviously had the same plans. If anyone thought he was going to let Bakugo of all people push him around, they were wrong. "Go, Killua!" cheered Gon from the side. With his revitalized energy, Killua gave a hard push to Bakugo, which made the blonde lose his balance a tad bit.

Todoroki, who was unfortunately underneath it all, tried his best to make Bakugo not fall off his shoulders. "Half n' half, if I fall, I swear you're going down next!" Bakugo spat, trying to keep his focus steady on the white haired boy in front of him.

The back and forth pushing and shoving seemed to go on forever, but that was only because Killua was going easy on Bakugo. Of course, if the hunter used his true strength, Bakugo would be absolutely dead right now. Killua didn't want to cause a commotion as big as that, so he resorted to playing around with Bakugo until he got tired or something.

But it didn't look like the blonde was going to give up so willingly. The other boys were having fun just watching the show, some cheering and some just soaking in the water. The splashes and shouts of encouragement echoed through the hot springs as Killua and Bakugo continued their fierce battle. The tension in the air was clear, each boy determined not to be the one to lose. Killua's sharp eyes narrowed, a mischievous grin playing on his lips. He knew he was holding back, but it was too tempting to push Bakugo's buttons a little more.

Bakugo, on the other hand, was seething with frustration. His pride wouldn't let him back down, and the fact that Killua seemed to be playing with him only fueled his anger. He gritted his teeth, his hands gripping tighter around Killua's as he tried to force him off balance. "You think you're so tough, huh?" Bakugo growled, his eyes blazing with determination. "I'm not gonna lose to some white-haired brat!"

Killua smirked, his voice calm and taunting. "Maybe you should focus more on the game and less on talking, Bakugo. Wouldn't want you to fall now, would we?"

Bakugo's temper flared, and he lunged forward, trying to unseat Killua with a sudden, forceful shove. But Killua was quicker, deftly shifting his weight to counter the attack. Kirishima, beneath Killua, grunted as he adjusted to keep his balance, his hardened skin giving him a solid footing. "Come on, Killua! You've got this!" Kirishima encouraged, his voice strained from the effort of holding the smaller boy steady.

Todoroki, meanwhile, was doing his best to keep Bakugo upright, his eyes darting between the water and the combatants above. "Bakugo, if you keep moving like that, we're both going to fall," Todoroki warned, his usually calm demeanor tinged with concern.

"Just shut up and hold steady!" Bakugo snapped, his focus solely on overpowering Killua. He pulled back, then shoved again, this time with a bit more explosive force, hoping to catch Killua off guard.

Killua felt the burst of energy and grinned wider. He decided to give Bakugo a taste of his own medicine. Channeling a small amount of his Nen, Killua felt the familiar tingle of electricity course through his body. He knew he had to be careful not to overdo it, but a little shock might just surprise Bakugo enough to end this. As he pushed back against Bakugo's assault, he allowed a tiny spark to travel through his hands and into Bakugo's.

Bakugo's eyes widened as he felt the shock. It wasn't enough to hurt, but it was definitely unexpected. "What the—" Bakugo stammered, momentarily thrown off balance. It was just the opening Killua needed. With a quick, precise movement, he shoved Bakugo with a burst of strength, causing the explosive boy to teeter precariously.

But Bakugo was nothing if not stubborn. He recovered quickly, and with a roar of defiance, he lunged forward with all his might. The sudden movement was too much for Todoroki to compensate for, and both he and Bakugo started to tip forward, water splashing up around them.

Kirishima, seeing the impending fall, braced himself, but the combination of Killua's weight shift and Bakugo's sudden movement was too much. The boys on the sidelines cheered and gasped, caught up in the excitement of the moment. Just as it seemed Bakugo and Todoroki would crash into the water, the air was suddenly pierced by a sharp, commanding voice. "Is this your idea of having a safe soak in the hot springs?"

The boys froze, the intensity of the moment broken as they turned to see Aizawa standing at the edge of the pool, his eyes narrowed in disapproval. His capture weapon was coiled around his neck, and his presence alone was enough to silence the chaos.

Bakugo, still teetering on the edge of falling, managed to regain his balance, but the fierce glare he received from Aizawa made him think twice about continuing the fight. Todoroki sighed in relief, glad for the interruption. Killua, sensing the shift in the atmosphere, quickly hopped down from Kirishima's shoulders, landing lightly on his feet. Kirishima scratched the back of his head, grinning sheepishly.

"You should totally come join us, teach!" Kaminari waved his teacher over but was quickly shut up by Shoji who covered Kaminari's mouth with one of his arms and shook his head in disappointment.

With a sigh Aizawa held the door open and pointed outwards. "You have spent more than enough time here. It's time to get to bed. You have quirk training tomorrow morning."

A bunch of sad 'aws' spread across the room as the boys didn't want to leave just yet, but they couldn't defy their teacher.

Before Bakugo could even shout that he wanted to finish this chicken fight, Todoroki released him from his shoulders, causing the angry blonde to fall in the water with a big splash.

Kirishima tried to stifle his laughter so he wouldn't get murdered by Bakugo. However, Killua snickered with his arms behind his head. "I guess we both lost~" He taunted, knowing that not having a decisive winner would only make the blonde angrier.

Bakugo's head quickly emerged from the water, coughing and spitting everywhere. His eyes immediately searched for the half n' half bastard who had dropped him in the water and left him there to fend for himself, but Todoroki was already halfway out the door. Damn you, icyhot!!

Gon approached Killua as the rest of their classmates started to file out of the room. As soon as he reached Killua, he immediately grabbed his friend's arm and pulled him out of the hot springs. "Killua, I'll race you to our rooms!"

"Oh, come on, Gon, that wasn't enough fun for you yet?" Killua teased, but he was already running out the door.

Now it was just Kirishima and Bakugo left to leave the spring. Kirishima reached his hand out to perhaps help Bakugo up from the water. "Uh, you know, Bakugo, maybe there will be another—"

Bakugo slapped Kirishima's hand away, anger boiling through his veins. "Shut up!" Gritting his teeth, the blonde watched as Killua's silhouette disappeared out the door.
