All Mights Daughter

Chapter 22: Round-3 The Final Tournament (Part 3)

Sakyh wiggled around in her seat as she watched Bakugo and Kirishima slug it out on the field. Kirishima had his hardening quirk activated in order to keep from feeling too much of Bakugos explosions. Bakugo being the natural fighter that he is seemed to evade the red-heads advances smoothly with very little making contact every now and then. Sakyh flinched though at every explosion Kirishima withstood and the cuts Bakugo was slowly gaining. Just how much stamina do these two have? The match had been going on for a good 5 minutes at least and they still seemed like it would be another 5 more before it ever finished. Sakyh tilted her head however as the two seemed to be whispering something to each other. She couldn't hear what they were saying but the growls she heard from Bakugo meant it couldnt be very pleasing to the boy.

"Just shut up already, Dumb hair! Another question about that and I'll blow your a*s up so bad there won't anything left to find!" Bakugo suddenly shouted as he landed a big explosion to Kirishimas chest. Effectively knocking the boy back some. This time however there was a reaction from Kirishima.

"Whoa! Bakugo is countering again! But what's this? It seems to be working this time!" Present Mic announced.

Sakyh winced as she saw the boys skin flare-up in pink from the attack already. "Please don't become a burn..." Sakyh quietly whined to herself. Burns were tricky to heal if they were big, small ones were just like cuts but big ones she had to focus on a little more. Her hopes went out the window though as Bakugo released a barrage of explosions at Kirishima, not giving him any time to counter.

"Die!" Bakugo shouted as he landed one final explosion covered punch to Kirishima. "There. Now I understand why you were trying to avoid a drawn-out match with me." He stated with a satisfied grin on his face.

"Kirishima has been knocked out. Bakugo is the winner!" Midnight announced.

Just as before the crowd roared with applause and cheers as Sakyh hopped up from her chair with her quirk flaring. Sakyh huffed a little at how much her soreness was already kicking in, making it a little hard on her to lift the boy as she adjusted him on the gurney. It wasn't a big struggle but enough to catch Bakugos always attentive eyes. Once the robots lifted the fallen boy off the ground the group was on their way to Recovery girls office.

(Lipstick by Dan + Shay https://youtu.be/1sph_W2nhxU PS. I am not starting at the beginning of the song for this next line, it's around 0:33 if you'd like to just let the music read the lyrics to you.)

"She's putting on her lipstick, turning up the music~ Slippin' on her black dress, saying you can do this. Climbing in the front seat, looking out the window~ Going through the motions trying just to let go~ Of the tears that she cried, no solid goodbye. Tonight it ain't gonna show~ And even though she knows that it ain't gonna fix it~ She's putting on her lipstick~"

Bakugo watched as slight tints of the same teal-colored wave from earlier would appear and disappear. He looked up at the girl walking beside him to see her eyes shut a little tightly. Was this a way of showing she was getting tiered with her quirk? If it was then it shouldn't have shown up when she healed Deku on the field since she hadn't used her quirk much yet. He racked his brain for the answer and his scowl deepened as he was coming up short. Was it because the injuries were a little bad and she knew them? He hadn't seen the wave pop up around anyone from the other classes or Cementoss and some of them had been hurt pretty good. Maybe that was it?

Once the song ended Sakyh opened her eyes back up and looked Kirishima over. Noting that the burns had healed to her liking she turned her head to look behind her thinking Bakugo would trail behind. Not seeing him she tilted her head confused before noticing he was walking beside her, just a tad in front of her. A blush tinted her cheeks. Did she really not notice that? He did have a very specific stomping walk that should have clued her in that he was walking with her.
