Fire Heart (Todobaku)

Intense Practice

We all gather in front of the Pros waiting for further instructions. My rage and pride are burning my skin, and it feels like it's boiling. If they know whats good for them they will put us on the same team. "Each day we will pick different team captains so you each will have a turn. Today the captains are Bakugou, and Fumikage so please choose well. We will flip a coin to see who picks first." He takes a coin out of his pocket, and flicks it into the air. "Tails!" I call out as it lands in his hand. "Bakugou gets to choose first so that means Fumikage gets the ball first." Aizawa puts his hand back into his pocket. I search through all the people. Hm, so Iida is beside Todoroki, and he actually isn't a bad choice. "Iida." I say making clear to Todoroki that he will never be my choice. An intense aura surrounds me, and I know everyone around can sense it. "Shoji." Fumikage does a slight smile as he high fives his friend. "Sero." I give him a little smile as he nudges me shoulder. "Todoroki." He slowly makes his way to the other land. I give him a little evil smile as he walks past me. He knows well enough what this means. It means he better watch himself because I'm coming after him. I start smiling to myself, this couldn't have been better planned out. "Kirishima." I say raising my eyebrows as Denki shoots me a dark glare. Two can play these games, and I never fucking lose. "I'm taking that the alternates don't count correct?" Fumikage asks as Aizawa nods. "They will have practice time, but first we need to get the main team started. So in this case pick the none alternates first, and then we will divide the alternates which should be easy." Aizawa explains, and we continue on picking. "Denki." The smile on my face widens as he looks at me horrified. Oh this is fucking beautiful, let's get this game on. "Mina." She hops over excited hanging over Kirishima, and Sero. Aye, we got the Bakusquad back! I look back happy to see my friends together again working with me, even Kirishima. "THE BAKUSQUAD!" Sero yells throwing his fist into the air. The rest of us do the same, except Iida. He has literally no idea what is going on. Of course he was in the Todosquad. The fucking cursed squad filled with nerds and assholes. Damn I can't wait to smear them into the dirt. I wish we were playing football inatead of soccer, damn that would've been bad. "Alright Jiro you're up!" Fumikage waves her over, and I kind of feel bad. She actually is pretty good, but I can't trust her as far as I can fucking throw her. She is working with that Icy Hot bastard, and they're all getting it. "Tsu." I didn't even have to say anything she was already walking towards my group. "We are working within your group first, and then at the end we will have a scrimmage. Then we will see who actually works well together, and who improved." Aizawa explains again, and our teams are separated. "Okay Bakugou your team is coming with me first!" Snipe says through his mask. Snipe never misses a shot so I'm guessing he is teaching us to aim, and teaching us accuracy. "Okay when kicking the ball you have to use the right force. Different kicks will also lead to different places the ball will go. Sort of like bowling, you can bowl it one way, but it can spin to go the other. Also if you kick the ball to hard it will go to high, and over the goal. I tend to try to kick the ball towards the corners because that's where the goalie has trouble blocking." Snipe says still wearing his mask. You know, he really is an underrated Pro. "So basically we have to have the perfect kick." Sero says to sum it all up. I can't see Snipe's eyes, but I know he is rolling them right now. "Just shut the hell up, and listen!" I snap. He throws a ball down, and starts backing up. Running up to it He kicks it, and surprisingly enough it looks so smooth. Just gliding through the air hitting the exact spot he told us to aim for. "Now, I never miss, but you will. Just try your best, and remember what I told you." He says going to retrieve the ball. "Okay listen, our team is set up. We have literally everything we need, even you Kirishima. We have speed, we have good defense, we have literal strength,  and we have fucking me. So there is no reason we shouldn't win this scrimmage. Not only that I have tricks up my sleeve to get what I want." I mostly say to myself as my anger rises. I don't give a shit if they are giving me weird looks I want to get this over with. "Hey Bakubro.." A little voice comes from behind me as we line up to kick the ball. "Don't fucking call me that. I said we could be friends, not bros." I growl back at Kirishima. I feel for him though, but then again this is what he gets. Leaving me for that dumbass prick, serves him right. Then again I know he loves Denki as much as I loved Todoroki, and when he finds out. Fuck Bakugou pay attention to what you're doing, love is fake. We will never find love, and that's okay. I back up, and run at the ball with everything I have. Remember don't kick it to hard, or it will go over the goal. With my speed if I barley throw my foot out it should be able to get to the goal fine, and hit the spot I want. I reach the ball, and barley kick my leg out. Well shit, I guess I was running faster then I thought. The ball shoots into the air, and goes almost as fast as Iida. Still barley making it in the top of the net. "Bakugou if you plan to go that speed then you need to learn how to kick the ball." Snipe tries to talk, but I conpletely ignore him. I could give a fuck about this stupid shit. Just let me play defense, and they won't have any players to even play the game. "Bakugou are you even listening?" Iida starts, but quickly shuts up when he sees the look on my face. "Listen nerd I didn't choose you because we're friends. I chose you because you're fast, and that's what we need." I spit as the rest of them line up to go. Fuck all these stupid drills, fuck this practice just let me get my anger out before I fucking explode. "Um Bakugou are you okay?" Mina says coming up to me. I hadn't realized it, but I spaced out again just thinking of my revenge. "Mina you know what's going to happen on this scrimmage." I give her a side glance. She isn't stupid, she knows what's planned for those two. "I know, and I can't blame you... Just don't get to carried away okay? We need you on the team." She gives me a smile, and a little pat. I try to give her a smile, but it just turns into a less of a frown. "Next station is mine, the goalie." Aizawa says unenthusiastic. I swear we just seem to clash every time we see each other. That or he does it on purpose just because he knows how to get underneath my skin. "Oh Bakugou maybe you might actually pay attention this station." He smirks as I start growling. "Fucking bitch." I mutter under my breath. He raises his eyebrows, but doesn't respond. He's just mad because I beat that ass in trouts. He thought he was going to punk me, but I finesse the finesser. "Sero you actually have the best quirk for this job. Well, you and Tsu so I mostly will work with you two. Since we have things that work alike it should be fairly simple. So pretend my scarf is your tape, or tongue. When the ball comes close to the goal you are allowed to pick it up. So, instead of taking your time to bring the ball all the way back to you. Just grab it lifting it into the air, and quickly smash it back into the ground. That way there's more game play, and with the force it should bounce the ball to the other end of the field. Depending how high, and how hard you smash the ball. Hm, I'll demonstrate quickly, Kirishima kick the ball." He sighs as he gets his scarf ready. Kirishima quickly kicks the ball, and before it could even think about getting near the goal Aizawa is all over it. His scarf shoots out quickly lifting the ball into the air. He then yanks down forcing the ball to crash against the ground, and bounce a little past the half line on the field. "See what I did there? Sero you can easily use your tape to do that, and Tsu your tongue can do the same thing. So first I will let Sero try it out, and then Tsu will go. The rest of you, Bakugou, can practice your kicking skills some more so these two can work on goalie." He looks directly at me. Damn I wish I could pummel him into the ground. Sero stands in the net preparing himself to try to catch the ball. "Remember the ball could be coming from any direction so keep your eye constantly on it. Focus where it is, and when you see it getting close don't hesitate to snag it!" Aizawa shouts to him from the side. Taking deep breaths he watched as I go full force into the ball. The ball shooting low, but quick directly toward the corner. Lucky me my kick was so fast his tape couldn't catch the ball. On the bad side I know Todoroki can do the same, and that means he can get past my goalie. "Sero what the hell!" I scream as he tosses the ball back to me. "If you can't catch this then what makes you think you can catch Todoroki's kick!" I start getting angrier the more I talk about him. Suddenly I just black out, and lose all control of my senses. "Bakugou! Bakugou listen, calm down!" I feel someone's hands over my shoulders, and immediately start to swing. "Get the fuck off of me!" I yell trying to hit the person keeping their grip. "Bakugou what the hell is wrong with you! Ever since earlier you been acting worse then usual. You're angrier, and you can't control your emotions anymore!" I know realize who it is. "Stay out of my fucking business you lazy ass teacher. I'm doing just fine so leave me alone, and let me practice so I can beat those fucking losers!" I yell trying to push off of him. "Calm down or I will put your alternate in for you during the scrimmage." He threatens. I take a few deep breaths, and my muscles finally relax. "There, I'm fine I just have a lot of shit on my mind." I lie. I'm nowhere near calm, if anything my blood is boiling hotter now. I just have to pretend to be okay that way I can play, and hurt those fuckers. "Okay, and I agree with you. If Sero can't block your shots then he probably can't block Todoroki's. So we need to practice him with your shots from now on." He says as we both walk to the station. "Okay Bakugou do your thing." He places the ball in front of me as I do another perfect kick. This time Sero actually gets somewhat ahold of the ball, but not enough to get it down field. "Good, at least we know you can stop the ball, but you need distance." Aizawa calls out handing me the ball again. I continue to do perfect kicks, and each time Sero tends to get better. "Okay Sero this is the last one so you better get it!" I yell going for another shot. His tape shoots out, and grabs the ball so quickly it nearly was unseeable. Smashing it into the ground it made an indention, and made it most of the way down the field. "HOLY SHIT SERO THAT WAS LEGENDARY!" I yell as the whole technical Bakugou squad runs down to him. Group hugging him he smiles as he finally gets recognized. "Of you do that shit in the game we will for sure win!" I wrap his head in my arm, and start messing up his hair. He pushes me off gently, and laughs. "Damn I didn't think I'd ever hear that from you." He nudges my shoulder as I roll my eyes. "Well it won't happen again so you better mark it on the calendar." I mumble as we make it to the next station. This is for our leaders, and for those with strategy. Basically Bakugou this is specifically for you, And Iida." Present Mic practically busts my ear drums. Why is he even here? His quirk has nothing to do with any of this. "YEAHHHH okay I know what you're thinking, but actually my quirk is helpful when you strategize. Kind of like Jiro my voice can vibrate the ball. The louder the yell the further the ball will go. Bakugou, I know you can't really use your quirk for the ball, but you can use it to move around to get open. Iida has his speed which can be used to steal the ball, get open, chase the ball, multiple things. So if we pair you guys up then we can have power, and the unexpected ability because no one truly ever knows what Bakugou has in store. Anyway you don't really practice this spot. All you have to do is wait for the whistle, then play the game." We all stare at him like he's as dumb as rock. "So if that is it then why is this even a station? Mina bursts into laughter as Mic pouts. "True though!" Kirishima laughs after her. Sero starts randomly bursting into laughter making a smile creep on my face. Come on Bakugou don't do it, you have to be cool. "You guys laughs are fucking hilarious!" I yell wheezing. Oh shit I miss times like these where we could be goof balls. I don't even mind having Kirishima around anymore because I remember how much fun he actually is. "It's better then yours!" Mina laughs harder as she smacks her knee. I can't remember the last time I actually laughed this hard, it feels good. We finally start settling down, and start looking around us. It seems the other team has already moved over here. "Auto bots roll out!" Sero yells running to the next station with his fist out like a superhero. Oh my fucking god now the rest of them are going to do it. Surely enough I was right, and Mina even got Iida to do it. "Come on Bakugou!" Kirishima waves to me. Rolling my eyes I throw my fist into the air, and start running. "Wow Bakugou I'm glad you're having fun!" Mina smiles. Yeah, I'm having fun, but this is all for show. I have to be good, or Aizawa will have his eyes on me the whole game, literally! I mean I am enjoying myself, but vengeance is far more greater. I have big plans, and this will show them that no one plays Bakugou for a fool. "Okay this is the last station before you get to actually have a somewhat meeting. This is goalie protection because the goalie can't do everything by themselves. This would be good for Kirishima and Mina. Basically you do your best to keep the ball from getting close to the goalie. The closer the ball is to the goal the most likely the other team will score. No matter if you have a good goalie, or not." Midnight smiles playing with her whip. Honestly she isn't as hot as she thinks she is okay. Fine, she is pretty hot, but we are literally teenagers. "I'm like Mic this wasn't very useful, but at least you know the gist." She bounces around excitedly. I turn to the rest of the team hoping they were already paying attention. "Look we have to win. There is no reason for us to lose so get your thick heads into the game. You know how I am, and if I explode on you then do fucking better so I won't have too. I have a plan of my own, and if you follow the damn plan victory is ours already." I smile viciously picturing everything going down in my mind. Denki might as well kiss his ankles goodbye, and Todoroki, not even All Might could help him at this point. I glance back to catch him staring at me. Quickly I turn my head, and spit. That disgusting bastard wants to play me like that oh, it's game on. "You guys are over so go to the bleachers, and discuss what you're doing. Who all has what jobs, you know actually have a plan." She pushes us away, and welcomes the other team. "It's obvious what we're doing. Sero is the best goalie out of both teams so that's a no brainer." I say as we huddle together. I know I should be the lead, but if I'm up there Aizawa will definitely catch me. However if I stay back, I also am a very good defender, and that opens more opportunities for me to do some shit. Fuck, but no one else would be good for the front, and no one else can keep up with Iida. "Kirishima and Mina be Sero's blockers. Iida and I will be the leads." I nod to him as he gives a weak smile. "Iida I know we aren't like best friends, but you can still talk with us and have fun." Mina smiles giving him a hug. "Yeah, you're part of the team too." Kirishima flashes that huge toothy grin. Damn I understand now why he got me so good. Love is fake though, and he has no idea about Denki. "Okay guys you can go chill, or do whatever the hell you want till the game starts." I dismiss them, but they mostly just stay where they are. Well, I don't know about them, but I got to piss. Walking in the locker room all the memories from earlier crash into me like waves in the ocean. Damn, this hurts, this hurts bad. I have to make them feel the same pain that I feel. I punch one of the lockers as hard as I can, and almost instantly starts swelling. "Well good thing I can't use hands in this stupid ass game." I mutter to myself. Shit it actually is swelling pretty bad. I hope I didn't break it or anything, oh well fuck it. I use the restroom clearing all my thoughts. I don't need distractions, I just need to follow the plan. I guess I was so relaxed I didn't hear anyone come in. "Uh Bakugou.." my eyes darken, and I immediately am pulled back into reality. "Don't fucking say my name! You aren't worthy to say it!" My muscles clench as I pull my pants up, and turn around. "I didn't do anything I swear! I can't live like this! I can't live knowing you think I would do that to you! I told you I loved you!" Todoroki tries to explain himself, but I'm over it. He just wants to save himself from the pain he knows is coming. Well to late for that now, there is no changing my mind. I don't care if he cries, all of his tears can go to the floor. There is no room in my heart for love anymore. "So What, your just going to walk away? Like we never happened? Like none of the things we did together happened? You can't just toss these things to the side Bakugou you have to face up to them! Well you know what, you can live like a coward all you want, but at least I can say I lived my life like a man!" He yells. I pause a moment, but continue out the door. He just dug himself a deeper grave. Calling me a coward? Who the hell won the sports festival? Who the hell pussied out the final fight? At least I fight with everything in me besides bullshitting the entire time. He doesn't deserve shit! I'll show him, he won't know what hit him after this. I walk to my team more prideful then I think I ever had. "Change of plans, who gives a fuck about winning. Just destroy the team, and then they won't have players to beat us." I growl with my evil smile. No one on this team has the balls to tell me no. "Sero trip them up with your tape, Mina shoot your acid at their ankles, Kirishima just jab them with your razor hands, Iida I know you won't do shit, and leave the rest to me. We can't get caught though so be sneaky, or we will be disqualified!" I basically yell into their ears. "Um, okay..." Mina says already knowing why. Sero just pretends to be stupid, but he knows. "ALRIGHT GET LINED UP!" Present Mic yells annoying the shit out of me. Why does he have to be the voice hero. I bet he doesn't have any friends outside of school either because of it. "Iida you better not ruin the fucking plan." I bump into him making sure to get the point across. Oh cute, they put him in the back. Well good, easier for me to demolish him. Aizawa pulls out a whistle, and blows it. Fumikage kicks it instantly to Denki who tries to use his electric against the ball so we can't touch it. "KIRISHIMA YOU BETTER FUCKING DO IT!" I yell as the ball goes all the way back to him. I mean we can't touch it, but he can. He quickly kicks the ball all the way back up to me. I throw a quick thumbs up, and pass the ball to Iida. Come on buddy just get it up field for me. Give me an excuse to be up there. I use my quirk to blast my way up to where Todoroki and Jiro are. "You better stay the hell out of my way." I warn her as Todoroki squints his eyes. Oh, so he's wanting a challenge huh? The ball starts coming towards the both of us, and I quickly blast at his feet. Doing a flip to play it off I kick towards the goal, but Shoji easily catches it. "Iida be ready he has to throw it somewhere!" I yell down field. Knowing instantly he runs to the closest person on the other team. I jump up, and blast Todoroki right in the face making it look like I was just trying to get down field. Fumikage gets it down to our goal, and dark shadow seems to be protecting him from our attacks. "Sero toss it like you did before I'll get it!" I yell as he nods. I know he didn't hear me, but it's like he already knew. I jump up using my canon to blast myself all the way down field making sure to land right on Todoroki's ankles. "FUCK!" He yells kneeling on the ground. I felt his ankle twist as soon as I landed on it. "What princess of your not fucking tough enough to play then why'd you start." I growl turning to get the ball. I knee his knee while he's down, and quickly kick the ball. "GOAL!" Present Moc shouts. Todoroki is still on the ground, but we literally just started. "You say anything, and you better believe this will be you next." I practically threaten Jiro. I can tell she is nervous, but she stays quiet. "Alright Denki you wanna play games, this is only round one!" I flash my fangs as Fumikage kicks the ball back to him. Iida quickly steals the ball from them, but Denki is right on his tail. Quickly I blast my way up, and kick his ankles. He topples over and rolls about six times. The whistle blows, and we are all forced to stop. "Bakugou I don't know whether to call that a foul, but watch it!" Aizawa says squinting. "What the hell I was just going after the ball! It's not my fault he tripped over his own feet because he can't keep the speed!" I yell. I chuckle under my breath as we take the ball out of bounds. "Denki it is your kick!" He says before blowing the whistle again. I charges up, and kicks the ball right at me. Shit, I almost didn't dodge that, that could have been bad. Already on it Kirishima blocks the ball with his body, but Fumikage was already there. Quickly Sero grabs it, and smashes the ball somewhat up field. Iida hurries to the rescue, and kicks it straight to me. Todoroki now up again tries to get right in my way. "You thought that was bad? We're just getting warmed up." I growl in his ear. I kick the ball up into the air on purpose, and jump up to hit it with my head. Ha, this is the only time being shorter then him is perfect. I hit him right in the chin with my head knocking his head back. The ball falls to the ground, and Jiro already pulsed it down the field. I can tell that's going to bruise, not only that I'm sure his tongue is bleeding right now. I run down field towards Denki coming up from behind him. "You know, I may go easy on you. I'll just beat your ass later like all the other times." I smirk before tripping him up again. This time I actually was trying to steal the ball. "Iida are you ready to make a goal?" I smile as Jiro cowards away from me. "Wait for it, wait for it... NOW!" I yell as we starts his engine. He kicks the ball so quick I couldn't even see it. There's no way Shoji could have caught that. "Bakugou I don't think I can do that again anytime soon." He calls to me. "That's okay just follow the plan!" I order still thinking of ways to get back at Todoroki. "Switch!" Fumikage yells as Denki, and Todoroki trades places. Oh, you want to switch up on me huh? "Kirishima, change of plans. Switch." I growl stepping back. Nervously Kirishima steps up to the line. It looks like Todoroki is already limping so just a couple more hits, and he's out. That will be even better though because then I get to murder Deku! "Bakugou you need to relax you said you wouldn't go to far!" Mina shoots me an angry glare. "Shit the hell up, and follow the plan we are still fucking winning!" I growl back. She better not mess this up, or on my fucking soul she is out of the Bakusquad. "It isn't right... but fine." She gives in. The whistle blows, and the ball is actually kept by Fumikage. Todoroki tries to go towards Mina instead of my way, but I surround him. The ball is kicked to him which was the biggest mistake they could have ever made. I pretend to swipe at the ball, but I hit right at the tops of his ankles swiping his feet right out from underneath him. His head comes crashing down onto the ground, and for a second I thought he was passed out. His eyes slowly open, but the only one there helping him was Fumikage. My squad will never betray me like these disgusting whores. "Bakugou you know I won't hurt you.." he starts to mumble, but I spit on the ground beside him. "Then fucking perish." I mutter waiting for him to actually get up. He does, and surely enough my theory was right. Just one more kick, and his ankles will be out of commission. Ew, just looking at the one ankle even makes my skin squirm. It's already purple, and there's no way that shoe will be coming off. "That's what I'm going for, and maybe a bloody nose." I mostly say to myself. The ball comes straight to Mina with Todoroki following right behind it. "Kick it up!" I yell, and of course she listens. I jump up to catch it, but try to do a spin so I can continue to take it up field. However while spinning my arm seems to fly out, and lands somewhere directly on his face. I'm hoping the nose, I want to see blood. I kick the ball down field for Iida and Kirishima to get. Remember stay in your area Bakugou. I remind myself wanting to just chase after it. I glance to see the damage of the face. Damn it I'm so disappointed, only a black eye? Why doesn't he just give up already. He knows it will just continue to get worse? "Bakugou I won't give up. I know you want to hurt me, so I f this is all I will ever get from you then it's worth it." He practically wheezes going past me. Damn I wish he would stop saying shit like that it really fucks with my head! Looking for the ball I see it in the net, and a happy Kirishima. Did Denki really let him go past? Damn he really is a heartless bastard isn't he? "THREE MINUTES LEFT!" Present Mic yells from the stands. How the hell have they not caught on to my shit? I look over to see none of the Pros are really even watching. Aizawa is taking a nap while the others are just socializing. Well Mic is watching, but he is so hyper he probably can't even pay attention to what I'm doing for that long. The ball comes to me, and surely enough here comes Todoroki. I really don't understand why he is doing this to himself. Is he expecting sympathy? He should know me better then that by now. I go to kick the ball, but miss just to kick him full power right in the shin. "You ready to tap yet?" I say as he holds in his breath. Sero grabs the ball, and gets it back down field. "Hm tap what?" He winks, and my anger just boils more. "You disgusting whore I should beat your ass right here for that!" I yell clenching my fists. Come on Bakugou we have less then three minutes then we can fight. We just have to make it to the dorms. "I'm the whore? You were the only person I have ever dated Bakugou I am far from a whore." He tries to defend himself which distracts him. We both turn to look for the ball which Fumikage has. I can tell he's about to kick it, I just need perfect timing. Suddenly I slide right for the ball hitting Todoroki's ankles again, and knocking him flat on his back. I can tell the wind was knocked out of him, and his head probably isn't feeling so good. "Shit I bit my lip!" He yells while a little blood trickles down his face. There we go, that's all that I needed. "GAME OVER! Bakugou's team is the victors!" Mic cheers as the other Pros pretend to care. "Good practice everyone see you all again tomorrow. You are dismissed." Aizawa yawns, and goes back into his sleeping bag. Jiro, and Iida start helping Todoroki walk. Wow, that was nearly not enough damage, but hey I'm not finished. "Are you sure you want to go to the dorm?" I hear Jiro whisper. He really can't be this stupid can he? He nods his head yes, and I can't help but to smile. Damn he really is asking for an ass beating. I make it to the dorm before he does, and I wait right by the door. I guess it's time for round two...
