Not Dead Yet

Chapters Nine

Izuku's POV

I pause before saying anything. Kacchan had never been this nice to me.

"C-can we go? I need to go home," I choke out the word home. It tasted like acid in my mouth and I forced down a shutter at considering UA my home.

"Yeah let's go," Kacchan takes my hand gently and starts walking.

We walk in silence while I tried to get my tears under control. Cry baby problems. I finally stop crying when Kacchan decided to start to speak.

"Where did you get the clothes," His eyes scan my outfit making me feel insecure. But when Kacchan's eyes met mine again the feeling went away replaced with one of confidence.

"I found them. My old clothes were almost completely destroyed."

"Wait even your sweatshirt," Kacchan asks nervously.

"No the sweatshirt is fine," I look down at my waist and realize that I had forgotten to grab it. Todoroki had distracted me and it is still in his room. "One of them took it but I will get it back somehow."

Kacchan was the one who bought me the sweater. When we were kids he showed up at my door with it and a huge smile on his face. There was one point when I tried to give it back in our first year; he got really mad and fought me. We both got in trouble.

Kacchan didn't say anything after that. He fidgeted with his hands as if he was nervous about something. Maybe he was realizing that he was going to have to tell me about the attack of the league. I wonder when he is going to tell me about that.

Before I knew it we were back at UA. I let go of his hand and ran towards the gate. My eyes flicked up to the guard posts. Hakakure was on guard, meaning that UA was on high alert. She was the last resort as her skills of stealth are unmatched.

"Kacchan what is going on?" I question him looking back at him innocently.

"UA is planning an attack soon. We have to be on high guard for now because of it," Kacchan explained.

"Hmm... against who?" I ask not looking back at him.

"The league, we were able to find them. Isn't that great?"

"I guess. I mean we don't really know that much about them. I was over there for over a week and I barely know anything. They are smart, we haven't found them for years. So why should we think that we could win in that fight," I ramble knowing that Kacchan won't be able to understand?

"Okay calm down, let's get inside everyone is excited to see you."

The doors open letting Kacchan and me into UA. I walk into the base trying to remember happy memories of me here. Uraraka was in a lot of them. I take Kacchan's hand without thinking about it. When I realize what I did I also realized that he didn't do anything to stop me.

"Midoriya you are back," Iida stated in a confused tone.

"Yeah I am," I say walking over to my friend and giving him a quick hug.

Iida has always been one of my more serious friends and he really didn't care for hugs but I felt like the situation called for it.

"Well we should call a meeting then," Iida declares waving his arms around in the direction of the mess hall.

"Is it really time for dinner already?" I ask getting a nod from both of them.

"Well then let's go," I start to walk ahead with the two boys trailing me.

I open the doors of the mess hall my mind racing to figure out what is going to happen.

Everyone stared in shock not a single voice was heard. Until Mei stood up from her table, slammed her hands down on the table, and exclaimed. "Well if it isn't my favorite test subject, welcome back Deku."
