Princess of Peace [BNHA]

Chapter Fifty Two

~Amy's POV~

I felt a strange sense of calm wash over me as Bakugo rushed at me swinging his fist. Thanks to our training sessions, I was getting better at reading his movements. He was trying to make me think he was swinging with his left but he was going to fake out with a right hook. I easily deflected with my left arm, knocking his hit away before countering with my own right hook. Pride filled his crimson eyes as my fist connected with his chin.

"AH! Katsuki! I'm so-!" I began to squeal but cut off as he clapped a hand over my mouth.

"What the hell did I tell you?!" He roared.

"Hey, watch how you talk to the Princess." Shinso grumbled from his seat in the grass as he, Monoma, and Todoroki had volunteered to watch our training session.

"Why the hell are you all here anyway?!" Bakugo snarled.

"I had nothing better to do." Monoma shrugged.

"Moral support for the Princess." Shinso noted.

"I was worried you'd accidentally hurt her." Todoroki responded bluntly.

"What the hell, Icy Hot?!" Bakugo snarled.

I giggled softly, they were all getting along so much better now. "I'm so happy you guys are friends now!" I beamed.

"Over my dead body." Monoma scowled at the others.

"Definitely not friends." Shinso folded his arms across his chest.

"Let's go again." Bakugo grumbled, ignoring their commentary. "I'm not holding back this time." He smirked.

I felt my heart skip a beat at this. "I'm not sure I'm ready for that."

Bakugo's lips twitched at this as if he were holding himself back from snapping at me, "you are."

I felt a strange sense of elation at his words.

"If you two were using your quirks the loud mouth would be blasted off to the moon." Monoma pointed with a smirk.

"Shut the hell up!" Bakugo snarled before turning on me, "go!"

I leapt back swiftly as he rushed at me. My body moved with practiced grace now. We'd been training for so long I could read his every move by watching his eyes. We were going all out for this round, so I had to stop retreating and dodging and actually get on the offensive. As he rushed me a second time I rushed forward to meet him head on. I crossed my arms in front of me blocking his punch before shoving his fist away and retaliating with a strong kick to his sternum that sent him stumbling back a few paces. Resisting the urge to apologize, I rushed forward as he was momentarily caught off guard.

Bakugo recovered quickly and once I was in reach he caught me in a complicated grapple and attempted to pin me to the ground. Remaining calm, I hooked my leg around him and managed to use his center of gravity against him to flip our positions. Bakugo's back hit the ground hard, instantly winding him and he stared up at me with a mix of awe and pride as I pinned him to the ground.

"I did it!" I cheered.

Bakugo smiled softly, "knew you could."

My face flushed with heat at this.

"What kind of training is this?" A familiar voice sounded near the dorm building, startling all of us.

I turned, still sitting on top of Bakugo to see Togata. "Mirio-senpai?"

"Hey Princess! I have an invitation for you." Togata beamed and held up a small envelope in his hand.

Bakugo grabbed me by the waist and lifted me off of him before getting to his feet and offering me a hand up. He threw a scowl at Togata but said nothing as I went to accept the invitation.
