One In A Million

Chapter Nine: Uncovered Secrets

Bakugo's P.O.V

The next time I saw Izu was in class the next day and something was off. Around his neck where his collar usually is, is a white bandage.

What happened?

I figured that I would confront him at lunch. Hopefully, I will be able to uncover enough proof to send his old man to prison.

Izuku seems out of it today. He is acting differently, he has his head resting on his arms on his desk, eyes half lidded. He looks exhausted. Dark bags hang heavily below his eyes as he lets out a long winded sigh. I've never seen him doze in class no matter how tired he is. His face is slightly flushed making it look like he might have a fever.

***Time Skip***

The lunch bell rang and the whole class scurried out to try and get a table. I stayed behind because Izuku did. He was still laying on his desk, except he is fully asleep now. I walk closer and realize he is whimpering in his sleep. He must be having a nightmare.

"Izu?" I gently shake him.

He jerks awake suddenly surprising me and him.

"Kacchan?" His words were slightly slurred and his face was redder than at the beginning of class.

"You don't look so good, are you ok?" I ask

I can't question him like this.

I don't get a response from him and out of worry I snap my head towards him.

He fell back asleep and is panting heavily. I feel his forehead.

He's burning up!

I need to find a teacher, luckily, Aziawa was still in the room and I asked to take him to the nurse's office. He approved it and before long I'm carrying an unconscious Izuku in my arms.

Shouta's P.O.V

I hate mornings.

I walk into class with Snow behind me. As I call roll I realize Midoryia is asleep and doesn't look good. I continue on with roll.

***Time Skip***

The lunch bell rings and all the students except two run out of the class. I notice Bakugo shake Midoryia awake. Bakugo asks if he is okay only to realize he is already back asleep. The blond puts his hand to the greenet's forehead and panics.

Apparently, Midoryia is sick. I told Bakugo to take him to Recovery Girl's office.

He comes back into the room soon after. I'm currently busy with the paper work for the raid that we are planning in a couple days. Bakugo spots the papers and says something I don't expect.

"I want in."

"What? No." I respond.

"You could use someone as a distraction that won't be suspicious." He defends

"Go ask Nedzu." I sigh, I'm not dealing with this.

Snow chooses this moment to hop on my lap.

Really? Why is he following me around anyway? Not like I'm complaining though.

Izuku's P.O.V

My mind is fuzzy and my body feels heavy. I lay my head on my arms on top of my desk. I hear Sensei call my name for roll and I respond softly.

I'm cold and my neck hurts.

Soon black greets me.

I'm on a bed in a master bedroom. I look around and that's when I realize that I'm naked. I pull the blanket over my body as I search for my cloths. I find them and throw them on. I go to leave the room and the floor disappears and is replaced by a black void that I'm falling into. When I hit the ground, air is knocked out of me as it turns into cement. I'm in a basement and heavy footfalls are coming down the stairs. Dragon is soon in front of me with a whip. I whine and shiver. He starts to come closer and just as I feel his breath on my face, I jerk awake to see Kacchan in front of me.

We are both startled. He asks me a question I don't quite hear because my minds more hazy than before and I'm freezing.

Black greets me once more before I can ask him to repeat himself.

The next time I wake up I'm in Recovery Girl's office covered in blankets.

"Good to see you're awake." Recovery Girl says to me, "You have quite the cold there, how did that happen?"

"I don't know." I lie

"Well, just get some rest." She tells me.

***Time Skip***

Bakugo's P.O.V

I talked Nezu into letting me participate. Now I'm standing in front of the Midoryia's household.

I knock on the door. The heros are hiding all around the house.

A gruff man opens the door.

"Can I help you?" He growls with venom in his voice.

"I'm Izuku's friend and I came to work on a project with him, may I come in?" I ask

"Whatever." The man rolls his eyes and lets me in.

He sways slightly on his feet indicating that he might be intoxicated.

I have a camera and headset on me to relay information to the heros outside.

"IZUKU! Get down here, your friend is here!" The man yells, causing even me to jump.

Fast footfalls come down the stairs in a panicked rhythm.

A panicked greenet is soon revealed.

"Kacchan?" He asks some of the panic disappearing as he sees me.

"I came to work on that project that Sensei gave us today." I tell him

He looks confused for a second but catches on quick.

"Oh yeah, M-Dad, can we go to my room and work on it?" He asks

"Whatever." The man looked angry for a second, but it seemed to disappear quickly. The two of us run upstairs.

Izuku's P.O.V

I was in my room hiding from my father when I heard him yell for me. I panic and run downstairs. I'm confused to see Kacchan next to Dragon.

He tells me he came to work on the project.

What project? Confusion lines my face, then I quickly realize something is going on and play along.

I ask Dragon to go upstairs. He looks livid that I called him dad. Don't worry asshole, I hated it too. Luckily Dragon calmed himself and let us go upstairs.

I take Kacchan into my room and lock the door behind us as I breathe heavily in panic.

"What the hell are you doing here!?" I whisper scream at him

He looks shocked that I cussed.

Just before he was going to explain though, Dragon bursts through the door. He is livid as he storms towards me.

I freeze.

A/N: And CLIFFHANGER! Sorry it took me so long to update guys. I hope this makes up for it.
