My Hero Academia: What We Fight For (Izuocha)

(Arc 2) Chapter Five - Arguments

IZUKU'S POV:

It was the next day, or late afternoon per say, and the school had already begun to look like a training camp. Nezu granted us permission to fight, and anyone not fighting had been sent home on account of school being cancelled. All of Class 1-B had agreed to fight with us and Power Loader agreed to having his Support course create gear for us. Shinso of Class 1-C also offered his services. All Might was able to call upon David and Melissa shield to help Power Loader and the support course students. Our plan was falling into place.

"Okay, I think we have our plan set. I'll lead the front lines with Sero, Iida, Aoyama, Kaminari, Sato and Ojiro, and Ectoplasm along with some Class 1-B students. Todoroki, you'll lead the left flank with Momo, Jirou, Tesutetsu of 1-B, Monoma of 1-B, Mineta and Aizawa and Midnight, along with other class 1-B students. Bakugo, you're right flank with Shoji, Kirishima, Hagakure, Mina, Tokayami, Kendo of 1-B, and Present Mic along with other class 1-B students. Everyone else who's there will be behind us rather for support or backup" I stated to them.

"Damn nerd, this is impressive, but don't boss me around" Kacchan said to me.

"Thanks, I guess? Ryuki and Kamuri will be there, along with the big three. Mirio will be there to take badly injured people to safety, but we're still trying to figure out where to put the others at."

"And the 1-A alliance dorms is where we're bring the injured, correct?" Todoroki asks.

"Correct, this is also where Melissa and David shield will be to fix support items, and where Recovery girl will be to heal the injured. We haven't heard back from Shiketsu high yet to see if they'll be joining us, so I'll assume not. Still, with a little over fourth to fifty fighters, will that be enough?" I question.

"We can only hope so. Gran Torino got back with us earlier and let us know he will be fighting for us. If their goal is to defeat or kill you Midoriya, maybe you should stay out of the fight" Todoroki states.

"He can't, half and half bastard. You heard that shapeshifting bastard, he's the only one who can kill this guy" Bakugo says. "So if things get out of hand, I'll distract that bastard and you hit him where it hurts!" Bakugo exclaims.

"We can incorporate that in. That seems to be it for now, let's get back to practicing and we'll finalize this later" I said nodding to them and walking away.

I went inside and flopped on th e couch in our dorms for a little break. It was a lot of work and we needed some time to relax.

"Hey, Izuku" Ochako said, plopping down next to me. "Training is really giving me a run for my money."

"Tell me about it. Between that and coming up with a plan, we haven't had any time to ourselves huh?" I said, taking her hand in mine.

"I love you, Izuku. No matter what happens."

"I love you too, Ochako."

"I'm just a little nervous to be fighting, honestly. But if I keep training, I'm sure I can help support you!" She said pumped.

Oh yeah, that...

I let go of her hand, and she looked at me confused.

"You're... not fighting in the battle" I told her with a lump in my throat.

"What do you mean? Of course I am" she said back.

"No, I mean... you're gonna be back here in the dorms, helping the injured..." I replied.

She jumped up off of her seat, and looked to be a little angry at what I said.

"No, I won't. I'm fighting like many others and you aren't changing me mind."

"No you aren't! We need you helping the injured get back here with your quirk. I'm not discussing this, Ochako" I said back to her.

"Are we really doing this right now? I can be helpful in combat! Why won't you let me fight!" She was getting madder.

"Because you heard Ryuki! I won't have you getting hurt or killed like what Ryuki saw" I told her, standing my ground.

"Yet you're letting Iida and Tokoyami AND Kirishima fight? What, you don't think I'm strong enough to protect myself or anyone? Huh, is that it?!" She questioned, mad and almost crying.

"You know that's not what-"

"No, I don't want to hear it! I've been busting my ass off in training and now you think you get to tell me if I can fight or not? Well screw you!" She shouted, getting up and walking off.

That... hurt. A lot.

"Please wait, Ochako... Let's talk about this" I asked her, and she stopped before she left the dorms.

"Deku, I... I think we need s-some time apart..." She said before running out. I could tell she was crying and hurt.

She just... broke up with me...

URARAKA'S POV:

I ran out of the building crying. I just made the biggest mistake of my life...

Asui and Jirou must have seen me running off, because they were calling after me. I got close to the trees that separated the dorms and the school before collapsing to the ground and crying. Jirou and Asui caught up to me.

"Oh my god Uraraka, is everything okay?" Jirou asked me.

"N-no it isn't" I said tears pouring from my face.

"What happened, Ochako. You can tell us, ribbit" Asui said to me.

"D-Deku and I b-broke up. Guys I made a huge mistake!" I said, not able to stop myself from crying.

"Calm down, Uraraka it's okay. Please calm down and tell us what happened" Jirou told me.

I proceeded to tell them everything I could through my crying state, but it didn't make me feel any better. I messed up and now Izuku must hate me...

"I see. I'm so sorry that happened Uraraka. I think you need to go talk to him. The sooner you make up, the sooner this is behind you guys and you guys can continue to train for the fight. I'm sure he'll forgive you. You just need to talk to him" Jirou said to me, giving me a hug.

"I-ill do that now..." I said getting up. "T-thank you guys so much..." I said before running back towards the dorms.

I got back to the dorms but didn't see Izuku anywhere. I figured he must be in his room, so I headed there, running into Iida on the way there.

"Iida, h-have you seen Izuku? I need to speak with him" I asked him.

"He's in his room, I just got done talking to him. I'm you friend, and I'm telling you as a friend, but... I think you shouldn't see him right now. He's going through a lot" Iida said to me. "Don't take this the wrong way, but... He can't have any distractions right now. If he's going to fight that villain and win, he needs to have a clear conscience and not have to worry about anything."

He was hurting... because of what I said. I broke the promise to his mom and to him to keep him protected and happy. I walked to his door and went to knock... but I didn't.

Iida was right... he can't have any distractions. As much as it hurts and as much as I messed up over something stupid... I don't deserve forgiveness or his love.

I turned around, and walked away crying again.

(1278 WORDS)

A sadder chapter, but it sets up the next one or two well. Things will start picking up from here quite nicely and we're soon entering the big fight. Will Izuku forgive Uraraka or will he say enough is enough?

PLUS ULTRA!
