Hearts Of Stone

Captain Kaminari

   The two girls lead the way to the harbor where Kirishima was able to relax on the open beach.

"So where's this ship?" Bakugou cut to the chase.

"It'll be here soon. Kaminari is just coming back from a delivery." Tsu explained.

"So he's not even here yet?" Bakugou glared.

"Just be patient, we're giving you a free ride." Jirou snipped back.

   Kirishima's long dragon lips curled into a smiled as he snorted at her witty attitude. Bakugou glared over to the red beast throwing a fist to his scaly arm.

"Dont laugh for her you traitor." He warned.

   Kirishima closed his lips still smiling. Bakugou rolled his eyes then they all stopped when they saw a large brown ship with golden sails.

"There he is now!" Tsu pointed.

   Within the ship standing at the wheel was a young yellow haired Male with flowing clothes and a sharp feathered hat. He pulled the massive ship in as his crew began to tie up the sails and threw the ropes to the people on the pier. The captain walked to the bridge as the men slid onto the docks and began to stride down toward the two females. Up close the young man was quite good looking. His clothes were fashionable and full of lots of pockets. He swished his featherd hat off of his head and leaned over to bow before the ladies. However just as he did he tripped on the planks rolling forwards before landing onto his face.

"You good cap?" Froppy asked not truly concerned as if it weren't the first time.

   The man beneath their feet raised two thumbs and made an odd laughing noise before trying to pull himself up.

"How was it?" Jiro asked.

"Which one? The trip or the fall." He joked.

   They all stared at him in unimpressed silence. He smiled awkwardly then turned to Bakugou. He was about to ask who the man was until he saw the montrous red creature behind him and his voice went hoarse.

"Kaminari." Jiro started. "These two need a lift."

   The golden haired male was still slightly in shock trying to process the thought of having a rogue and a dragon aboard his transport vessel.

"Um, when you say 'these two' are you also talking about the massive dragon?" He gulped.

"Yes." She crossed her arms

"But it.... Uh.... is that really a good idea?" He stammered.

"I dont care if you're afraid of Kirishima, but I'll pay you if you can just get us to Midnights island." Bakugou butted in.

"I'm not afraid of anything." The captain gave a fake brave smile. "I can get you to Midnights island with no charge..... as long as you can promise the dragon doesn't bite."

   Bakugou let a toothy grin cross his lips and the dragon above him crouched down like a cat before pouncing the captain. Kaminari's mouth fell open letting out a woman like scream as the massive dragon nuzzled his clothing.

"Help!" He called out.

"Relax you whimp, he wont eat ya..... Probably." Bakugou shrugged.

"Aaaaaah!" He kept screaming.

   Jirou looked over to Bakugou. "The men still have to load up before making the next haul." She reminded.

"Yeah that's whatever. Kirishima hasn't had anything to eat yet so we might go pick up a cow or maybe.... a whiney captain." He smiled widely at the massive creature.

"Get me outta here!" The golden eyed male yelled out.

"Okay, come on rock head. Let's go get you some meat." The rogue called.

   Kirishima turned his big head and wagged his tail at the sound of food. He walked off of Kaminari who was dizzy from the fear.

"We'll see ya later then!" Froppy waved.

    Then they dissapeared around the edge of the busy city keeping away from the streets inase of another incodent.

*************°•🧡•°*************

   Bakugou and Kirishima sat on the outskirts of the city while the massive beast chowed down on a poor animal carcass.

"You almost done?" Bakugou tapped his fingers against his knee.

   Kirishima raised a brow and nodded his head to the side letting out a few growls.

"Of course we're in a hurry moron!" He snapped.

   Kirishima's ears flew back and he quickly ate the rest of the animal below him before standing up. He did not understand why they were going to Midnights island or why they were in such a hurry. Bakugou seemed on edge more than usual, becoming aggitated with others and have long moments of silence. It wasn't like him, he was usally always cocky, prideful, and ready for battle but now he seemed worried.

"Good, let's go." The Rogue turned away avoiding the dragons stare.

   He began to walk towards the city streets to return to the docks but Kirishima nudged his back trying to return the attention to him.

"What now?! Wasn't that enough?" Bakugou pushed the dragons muzzle away.

   The crimson beast shook its head and began to whine.

"Then what are you whining about?" He grumbled.

   Kirishima nudged him again furrowing his brows. Bakugou's eyes widened and he hit the dragon over the snout.

"Me?! What the crap you pea brain stop worrying about me, I just wanna get going." He pointed back to the pier.

   The dragon still looked annoyed waiting for more of an answer, he knew something was up and he just wanted Bakugou to be honest with him.

"What do you want?!" Bakugou snapped.

   Kirishima sighed and walked past Bakugou not making eye contact. This just made the fiery rogue more irritated. They walked back to the waterfront in total silence as if they were complete strangers.
