Hearts Of Stone

The Wrong Way

  

   Bakugou sat cross legged in the grass looking down at an old sheep hide map. Kirishima on the other hand wandered around the field looking at the little things such as flowers or animals, if they didn't run off too fast. He then returned to Bakugou falling in front of him with a dramatic thud. The gust of wind from his landing sent the mad up into the air and the hot headed Rogue caught it giving the dragon an irritated look.

"Hey, Fuck off for a second." He growled.

   Kirishima let out a long bored whine turning his head back at him.

"I don't care if you're bored. I have to fucking find out where the hell we are so we can get back."

   Kirishima sighed and rolled over nudging Bakugou then pointing up at the near by mountains.

"What?"

   The Red Dragon used its claws to make a walking motion. Then he placed his paw over his eyes to indicate looking for something. Bakugou looked up at the mountain and looked back at Kirishima as if the dragon had said something stupid.

"Why don't you just fly so we can see where we are instead of climbing the mountain."

   Kirishima flopped down again with a big huff. He hadn't been able to fly in years and that one trip alone exhausted him. Walking was no problem but the flight was too much.

"You are a big red pain in my ass!" Bakugou rolled his eyes into the back of his head. "Fine let's go."

   The two began their hike up the mountain starting with slight hills and turning into sliding rocks. Bakugou climbed up the pass in front of Kirishima but one of the stones slipped. He fell forward sliding back and Kirishima quickly caught him with his snout. The Rogue batted at the dragon away impatiently.

"I'm fine you moron." He said continuing the climb.

   The large dragon smiled walking past Bakugou to take in the views and spectacles the mountain had to offer.

"Don't go running off!" He called like an annoyed parent.

   Kirishima let out a low grown before slowing down and waiting by a tree that sat by a ledge. Bakugou caught up and scaled the cliff side to stand over the valley. He pulled out his map and read the land. When he saw where they were he quickly glared at the dragon.

"You good for nothing mutt! You brought us into the Northern kingdom!"

   Kirishima looked over Bakugou's shoulder at the map. He then reached a claw out to point where they were then slid it down for them to cross through the northern Kigdom back to the south.

"No, we are going around through the far edge of the Eastern kingdom. There's no Fucking way we're crossing this shithole." He pointed to the dark forest in the eastern kingdom. "We'll go through the woods so we're harder to spot."

   Kirishima looked at him confused. He couldn't think of why the Rogue would hate the northern kingdom to the point of making their journey longer and with higher risk of being caught. He simply smiled at the blond male and nodded in agreement.

"Good, let's get going."

   Kirishima let out a light growl and Bakugou's red eyes followed the dragons gesture to his back. He let a toothy grin fall over his face. The large stone creature knelt down allowing the man to climb up him. And they began to slip down the mountain.

*********************************

    They had crossed the valley into the deep forest. It was dark and difficult to see through. Kirishima crouched as he walked feeling his instincts rising. He let out a low growl that alerted Bakugou. He stood up and slid into the pine needle covered earth. He walked around the towering dragon.

"Stay." He told Kiri.

   He kept walking then stopped looking through the woods. It was silent and then out of the darkness a silver ball launched out, he slipped out of the way and a net popped out wrapping around a tree. Another flew out and wrapped around Kirishima's muzzle. The dragons rock skin grew and hardened snapping the net off. He let out a howel and Bakugou yelled.

"Kirishima get out of here!"

   He tried to run out of the trees but his stone hips got stuck in between two cedars. He let out a roar and the Rogue glared over at him.

"Stupid dragon! Break free!"

   A man escaped the trees with a Frankenstein like aesthetic. His skin was a dark purple in some areas and staples kept them attatched to the unscathed parts of his body.

"Capture the dragon." He directed with no emotion.

"What about the boy?" A cute girl with messy blond buns came around.

"What do you mean? Kill him." He shrugged.

   The girl smiled widely and began to rush towards Bakugou. The rest of the men shot the nets at the dragon before them. The Red beast struggled to bite off the ropes but he was still wedged in. He whipped his tail at the men but its sharp edges stuck into a tree like an axe. He roared again for help but Bakugou had troubles of his own.

   Through the trees he swung his sword taking out enemy after enemy but it felt like they would never end. Finally the girl from before tackled him into the ground. He was able to make a quick recovery throwing her off only for her to laugh playfully and danced around him.

"Damn! Get out of my way!" Bakugou yelled swinging violently.

   The girl moved around laughing at his misses but she wasn't who he was aiming at. He pushed her back and a red clawed paw swung her into a tree. She cried out and slipped into the ground. Bakugou looked up at the spiked dragon.

"Hey dumb ass!! Use that fire breath and get us the fuck out of this mess!"

   Kirishimas wide kitten like eyes flashed and he let out a long whine.

"He wont kill anyone." The girl breathed slowly standing up. "Hes just, too much of a sweet heart."

"What?! Cut the crap you moron!" Bakugou yelled at Kirishima.

   Kirishima called out and began to rock back and forth to break the trees but they barely budged. He stood up on his hind legs he brought his dragon arm between the trees and began to push them. He forced them out and squeezed his large hips through falling onto one of the net launchers.

"Finally! Stay out of the heavy trees this time! We gotta destroy those cannons and get out of here!"

   The large dragon nodded and went after the men holding the large guns while Bakugou took care of the others. Kirishima smashed the last one and then he ran towards the entrance of the forest bulldozing through the trees. He slammed on the breaks sitting up and with a huge huff he obliterated the remaining forest in a puff of fire. Bakugou climbed his tail and the large red dragon trotted swiftly through the embers as they were able to escape once again.

   The girl began to walk towards the black haired male.

"Well that didn't go fantastic eh Dabi?" she giggled.

"Shut it Toga.... Let's get back." He said turning away.
