Wave point Kiribaku

Chapter 19, I...

It was so long ago, but to me, it still felt like yesterday. Back then I used to wonder, I wondered everywhere. Without a family no parents, no home to call my own, and no name. It was like I was in a  dream but not really. I mean I slept when I was tired and ate when I was hungry. Looking for random fish to nibble on or some kelp to munch. This were all instinct base the basic desire in every living being to survive. It was like nothing mattered I didn't matter I didn't know why I was here. I was all alone. No one but myself. I was still calf, pup or larvae? I didn't necessarily belong to any type of sea creature family. I was just me, a sea creature that roamed the seas.

That was until I met her.

It was an accident really. I was floating around like usual, my scales shimmered brightly from the rays of the sunning hitting against my scales making them shine particularly bright. Some mer-hunters had spotted me as I was in an open area. It was a blur from then.

I remember being harshly grabbed and pulled upwards, but having no reason to fight against them I just let them take me. The next thing I remembered was being pulled another direction, back towards the sea depths. I glanced down at the other force. Wondering who could be pulling me back, I was surprised to see a mermaid pulling me back, her face was contorted into such a stern face as she pulled me with all her might. Her thick and spiky golden hair swayed through the water. Stunning me for an instance of why someone would risk their own life to save someone. To save me.

She grunted and pulled some more until a flash of light stopped the opposing pull. I looked over to the mer-hunter that had previously been pulling me out of the water, frozen in shock as his limp body slowly sank to the depths of the sea.

"Are you okay?" the mysterious mermaid had said to me. That was the start of my happiness but also the cause of my greatest sadness and fear.

After she took me back to the place she lived, I was met with a bunch of other excited fish, and the best part was that they were all like me. A special fish a rare breed. She said that she takes care of any young fish that she finds, and that included me. But I was a type of fish she hadn't seen before, and I was probably an ancient type like herself.

A type of fish that didn't exist anymore.

She was the one who had named me Katsuki. This was after being there for a few days. She had asked for my name but given I had none I just shook my head. She looked at me for a few seconds before just randomly spewing the name Katsuki. I think to her it was just a random name but to me it was special, it was something I had for myself. I had never had anything like that before so I was ecstatic. For the first time in my meaningless life, I was happy, at that time I didn't know what happiness was. So it confused me on multiple levels, I had stared at her in a daze. Before she could comment on my thoughts, she was called over by the other calves. She smiled at me before leaving me in a room with a bed in it.

I had laid down on the soft sea-sponge mattress. I had never slept on something so soft. I had only slept on seaweed or flat boulders. I looked around the room. Then I thought of my name once more. My face had stretched upwards, I was smiling but at that time I didn't know what smiling was. So my face's action had also confused me severely.

After a few years of being there, I thought of everyone like my family, and she was like my mother. Her name was Bakugou Mitsuki, she was a mermaid, (though she never acted like one) but a special type that could use magic very well. The other fish there were like siblings to me, even if I didn't really interact with them. I was happy, I had learned what happiness was. I had learned so many emotions, I felt things I never felt. I had gained a personality I was someone and not just something.

I often got in trouble though, I was not the angelic child I was quite the opposite. Always causing trouble, and not really the most sociable. In fact she had told me multiple times.

"Try and be nicer, be more trusting!" She would often shout at me after I pulled a prank. Though she wasn't all that kind and sweet either often shouting profanities when she got angry. Having quite the bad attitude herself. If you tried to comment on it she would cast a spell on you making you quiet for the rest of the day. In fact, she was more like a sea-witch than a mermaid. Even so, I loved her. She had taught me magic and taught me how to be a fish.

Life was nice I was happy and soon enough I had spent 5 years there having come there at the age of 5. Then on my 10th birthday....

The mer-hunters found us.

We were getting ready for the celebration as the old witch liked to throw a huge party for everyone's birthday. Since I didn't know when I was born, she decided that my birthday would be on the day I arrived here.

I had always looked forward to my birthdays. We had set up the table my fish cake with an extra bit of shrimp was placed on the table just the way I loved it.

A spear had flown past me, landing right in the middle of my cake. I was frozen along with everyone at the table. A single sentence had then set all of us into a state of panic.

"The mer-hunters are attacking!"

The rest was a blur, screams were heard as my family was killed or dragged away from the sea up onto their ships. I swam away like the rest and I hid inside a clam. I was shivering hard as the gruesome screams of young fish attacked my ears.

"Bakugou..." the soft familiar voice of Mitsuki was heard. Immediately jumped out of the clam into her open arms. Shedding heavy tears that floated upwards. She caressed and comforted me until I calmed down. Not saying a word, she pulled me out of the area and into an open plain.

"I want you to swim away." She had said to me that night, I stared into her eyes as she smiled warmly down onto me. I was confused and fearful of what was to come. I begged her to come with me, but she shook her head at me.

A spear from a mer-hunter pierced her stomach going right through it. Her eyes widened as she coughed up some blood. The place where the spear was in spewed blood that floated around her. I started in horror as more spears rained down upon her.

"She is a sea-witch descendant we need to kill her!"

Using her weakening magic to fend them off as blood continued to gush out from her open wounds. She looked over at me.

"LEAVE! You damn brat" she yelled, "LEAVE!"

I sat there frozen from fear and shock.

"Please Katsuki, please leave...." she begged her magic weakened. "I love you Katsuki, I really do...so please leave...."

"no I-I don't want to leave you, mother...." I begged.

"LEAVE!" she had howled. Setting off a massive explosion.

"Please leave for me..." she whispered.

With my final words of goodbye. I swam away as fast as I could she held them off from me as I swam further and further away from my mother. Tears welled up in my eyes, making seeing a very difficult task. I stumbled as I swam. I swam and swam and swam in one direction until I could no longer swim. Before I hit a rock I dropped down sobbing fat and heavy tears. I gasped as I had a hard time breathing through all my gross sobbing. I continued to sob and wail at the loss of my family at the loss of my loved ones and at the loss of my dear mother.

pls vote, every vote is one less broken heart.

Thinking of Bakugou's back story was hard...I think not sure really, I just wrote anything that came to my mind while also introducing his reason for not wanting to love again.
