The Next Successor

Arrow

This is part 2 of a double update! If you have not read the previous chapter, please go back and do so!

Midoriya and Bakugo had been jumping from building to building for two hours by this point, just keeping an eye on the group from UA. Most of the buildings were only four feet apart, so if the boys got a running start, they could easily jump it. There were a few that were ten or so feet apart and those one's were a little more difficult. Bakugo couldn't use his quirk to blast him across since it would have caused too much attention and maybe even some damage. He couldn't risk being caught with Midoriya right now, it wasn't time yet.

"Wait." Bakugo said aloud as he grabbed onto Midoriya's shirt, harshly pulling him away from the ledge of the building.

"Ow- What?" Midoriya spat as he turned towards the blonde.

"Don't jump across yet, there is something going on down in the alley below us. If I noticed it, they'll probably notice it too." Bakugo whispered as he glanced back over the edge to see the group walking past the alley way. Uraraka was laughing happily at something Tsu had said before Iida abruptly threw his arms in the air, signaling for his group to stop. Midoriya and Bakugo stood by the edge, desperately trying to hear what was going on below them.

"Can you hear them?" Midoriya questioned towards the blonde.

"Not with everyone else in this damn city talking too." Bakugo spat as he pushed himself away from the edge. They were only six stories up on this current building, so they didn't want to stay too close to the edge for extended periods of time.

"Wait, they're heading down the alley." Midoriya stated as his vision followed their upcoming path. There was a group of about ten people surrounding a little kid. It took everything he had to not jump in and help when he noticed the kid crying. The hero in him wanted to help desperately, but he didn't have permission to do anything like that.

"They're going for it." Bakugo said quietly as he nodded his head towards the group of heros in training. They were running full speed down the alleyway towards the large group. Iida yelled something, but it was impossible to hear from the roof top. Whatever he said, made the group turn on their heels to face them. The large group of men got into fighting stances as Tsu jumped to action, using her tongue to knock two of them back. Dark shadow followed closely behind as he began battling the three muscular men that were standing in the front.

"Think they can do it?" Bakugo questioned. "It's 4 versus 10."

"I know they can." Midoriya replied as he pulled out an arrow from behind his head. "But it's my goal to make sure they don't get hurt in the process. I don't want any of them hurt right now." Midoriya said sternly as he pulled the string back, ready to fire.

"What the hell are you doing?" Bakugo spat as he looked to the green haired man. When Midoriya is in his firing stance, nothing can pull him out of it. He was completely concentrated on the large group below him. He let out a deep breath before releasing the bow, letting it soar towards the ground. He watched with anticipation as it smacked into the tree in front of the man who was running full charge at Uraraka. The man stopped dead in his tracks and stared at the arrow that was only a few inches away from his face.

"You missed." Bakugo teased as he watched the chaos below break out below them. Everyone in the group was looking around them in search of who shot the arrow. Even though the arrow wasn't angled like it came down the alley, nobody though to look up in the direction it was angled towards.

"That was just a warning shot." Midoriya replied with a cynical tone and wide smirk. He can actually be kind of scary when he gets in the zone. Bakugo thought to himself as he watched Midoriya closely. He carefully watched the green haired man grab another arrow before promptly firing off another arrow. A few seconds after the arrow rippled through the air, a loud scream erupted below them.

"What the hell?" Bakugo spat as he looked over the edge. It was hard to tell what was going on, but you could definitely see one of the men jumping around with an arrow sticking out of his forearm. "You actually hit him?" Bakugo questioned in both surprise and disgust.

"Of course. You might not have been paying attention, but I was." Midoriya replied as he watched the men start to retreat down the alleyway. "He was going to attack Uraraka from behind. She doesn't have the best quirk to deal with someone from behind, so I couldn't let him get to her." Midoriya explained as he clipped his bow behind his back. "It was only in the arm. I wasn't shooting to kill Kaachan." Midoriya explained as he stepped away from the edge of the roof.

"It's just hard to see you doing stuff like that. You're usually the person who brightens up everyone's day, but you were kind of scary there for a second. You were so focused and your eyes looked like they were ready to kill." Bakugo explained as he followed Midoriya to the middle of the roof.

"Are you scared of me Kaachan?" Midoriya questioned with a smirk.

"Don't make me laugh." Bakugo spat. I could never be afraid of you. You've been around me my whole life, I know you. Bakugo thought to himself with a soft smile.

"I'm guessing the pro's will finish off the patrol once Iida and them report the incident." Midoriya said as he grabbed his phone from his back pocket. He quickly moved his fingers across the keyboard before putting it back in his pocket.

"Probably." Bakugo spat as he glanced over the edge. Iida, Uraraka, Tsu and Tokoyami were comforting the kid who was getting attacked by the gang a few minutes ago.

"I have to go." Midoriya stated.

"Where?" Bakugo questioned.

"There's a few quirks I want to get." The green haired man replied with a shrug.

"You're going quirk hunting now?" Bakugo spat with irritation. Midoriya was supposed to dedicate the next 8 days to protecting the students, not quirk hunting.

"Kurogiri is going to take me real quick." Midoriya replied as the warp gate opened a few feet of them. "I'll be back by 6 for the next rotation." Midoriya replied with a bored expression as he began walking towards the gate. "After I walk through, the gate will close. Give it a few minutes, then walk through yourself. Kurogiri will take you back to the hotel rooftop." He explained as he stepped into the warp gate. "See you later Kaachan." Midoriya yelled out before the warp gate closed, leaving Bakugo alone with his thoughts.

"I need to get my head in the right place." Bakugo groaned to himself as he felt the wind blow through his hair. We almost kissed, so what? He stopped it, which means he didn't want it to happen. Bakugo thought to himself with a sigh. He was feeling upset and defeated. He was upset because he really wanted to kiss the nerd. He wanted it so badly, his heart hurt to even think about it. But at the same time, he was okay that it didn't happen. Midoriya had a plan to uphold. He couldn't afford to mess it is by cheating on Toga with Bakugo. Bakugo let off a heavy sigh as he watched the warp gates open in front of him. He took a quick glance down to see his classmates were gone. Without a second thought, he walked through the gate.

A/N- So there is a specific reason that I did a double update on both of my published stories! In less than an hour, I will be publishing a new BakuDeku story! It is called No Strings Attached and is a music school/no quirks AU. It was honestly my favorite story to write and I hope y'all will check it out! It contains mature themes and the very long awaited fluff! If not, no biggie. If you do, I hope you like it!😁🧡💚

EDIT- IT'S UP!
