Triple Nightmare /Bakudekutodo

Chapter 84: Loosing the guards!

Midoriya POV:
Even though it was dark I could still see Kacchans grin as we were pressed against each other in this tiny room surrounded by cheese and flour and much more. "What are you still doing here at this hour?" I could hear a guard asking on the other side of the door. I held my breath. We were so close. The chefs' answer escaped me because suddenly Kacchan grabbed my chin and made me look at him. For a moment we just looked at each other's eyes before he leaned in and started kissing me. I held onto his shirt as I tried not to lose my balance. Something fell softly to the floor behind me. While one of his hands held onto my waist the other one moved up my shoulders and onto my neck. I tried signalling that this was not the time but he was barely giving me enough air to breathe. I was starting to feel hot. Suddenly the dialogue outside the door stoped and I quickly pushed Kacchan off me. Shortly after The door slowly opened again. "Hurry it up." One of the cooks said. Totally flustered I made my way back to the window.

Shoto held out his hand for me. "You need to hurry. The patrol will come by soon. We don't have much time!" With that he pulled me outside. "You okay? Your face is pretty red." Mireille asked as Shoto helped out Kacchan. "I-I'm fine." I couldn't hold eye contact. Once all of us were regrouped we immediately started making our way from the castle towards the water. In the corner of my eye I could see one of the knights taking a turn towards the kitchen window. That was close! We sneaked along the water to get to the only passage we had. The bringe. For a few seconds we halted waiting for all the guards to turn away from us. "They'll definitely see us when we pass over there so once we get close enough just start running over and stay close to each other. We'll find cover in between the city buildings. The side alleys are pretty winding so we have a good chance of getting away with it. All we have to remember is to stay close to the main path so we can get to Sarah." Everyone nodded and we took each other by the hands. After a few more steps it was time "Stay close to me." That was our signal. Mireille started running and we followed closely. Not even three meters further I could already hear shouting behind us. "Just keep running!" This bringe seemed longer now that I had to cross it as quickly as possible. In that moment I remembered that Shoto and Kacchan had never seen the outside of the castle before. Hopefully we wouldn't loose Mireille or we would be in trouble.

I could hear how the knights got closer and closer. I took a peak behind us. About five of them were right on our track. At this rate we wouldn't be able to gain enough distance for them to loose us. We finally made it to the end of the bridge and disappeared into the first side alley we came across. "Don't slow down now!" Mireille told us. She was at the very front. I had fallen a little behind but Kacchan was dragging me along by my hand. "Hurry it up Deku!" I took another look behind us. Mireille had been right we started gaining distance again the moment we started taking a turn every time we had the chance to. We just needed to keep going. "How much further?" Shoto asked. "Because Sarah doesn't know we are coming, we should loose them first before heading to her. Otherwise she won't have the time to get her things." Mireille answered. "Shouldn't we try and get her as soon as possible before your dad gets here?" I asked but I was too far back for her to hear me.

Bakugo POV:
We finally started slowing down again. My arm was hurting from dragging Deku along. He seemed overly exhausted for a little running. As soon as I got a chance to I decided to check on him. "You ok Deku? Have you not rested enough last night?" He answered with an awkward laugh as he rubbed the back of his head. "I-I'm fine. I was just worried about you and Shoto. I was the one who was still awake so it was my responsibility to make sure you two were fine. But then we go split up and I didn't know whether you were fine or not. Guess that plus the fact that I've gotten way too used to sleeping by your side made it difficult for me to rest in general." Shoto slowed down a bit so he could walk next to us. "When's the last time you got actual rest?" He avoided eye contact. "Deku?" "D-don't know... Definitely not the labyrinth. Back in Silverbrook maybe? Or Highland Meadows?..." "Izuku, why didn't you say something?" Shoot interrupted his mumbling "What? Oh, I... I mean I'm fine really!" "Let's talk about this later. For now we have a different issue. But as soon as it gets too much make sure to tell us ok?" I decided. Deku nodded and we caught up to the princess.

"We're nearly there. Are there still guards behind us?" She asked and Shoto answered by shaking his head. "That's good!" A few minutes later we came to a full stop. "We've made it. You three stay here. I'll go get her. Make sure to keep a look out for guards. They've probable started patrolling the whole city by now." Whit that princess walked to the side of the house we stood in front of and climbed on top of a big flower pot to be able to reach the window above it. She sure didn't do this for the first time. After knocking on it with what felt like a specific code the window opened and a hand helped her climb in.
