Chapter 6

Bakugou's POV:

"So I gotta ask, you said you and Midoriya weren't friends but you both have nicknames for each other. What's up with that?" Does this fucker think we're lovers or something?

"I call him Deku because it's an insult. I'm pretty sure it means useless, which he is." I growl, "and in case you were wondering we only stayed together for strength in numbers, and even then I tried to get rid of him." His face becomes understanding

"That makes more sense." He laughs, attempting to diffuse whatever tension was in the air around them,

"Hey man the tour is pretty much over, if you want I can take you back or-" Roundface bursts into the hallway, efficiently cutting him off,

"Kirishima! Bakugou! I'm glad I found you both. Aizawa wanted to talk to you guys, so follow me!" She grins breathless, turning on her heel to walk back the way we came. Kirishima follows, pushing my tank as we roll steadily

"So what the hell does Aizawa want with me, I'm sure there's a reason for him wanting to see Kirishima but me?" Roundface opens her mouth to respond but Kirishima beats her to it,

"Dude! That's the first time you've said my name!" He smiles with those damn teeth. I did? Huh why didn't I catch that?

"Umm didn't he before?" Roundface asks,

"No dude, he's got names for everyone. I didn't think he even remembered my name honestly." That's not true, I always knew your name

"Shut up shitty hair of course I did, I know all your names I just choose not to use them." I growl, names are just easier for me

"What's my nickname?" Roundface asks,

Is it not obvious?

"Roundface." She snorts

"Really?" She giggles, no I was joking. Of course dumbass. "Ok but to answer your previous question, I'm not exactly sure why he wants both of you, but he did call for Jirou yesterday."

"Ok I can answer that." Shitty Kirishima confirms. "He's probably going to ask something like how are you feeling, how's the environment here, and how comfortable are you feeling. After he might ask if you're up for working a job here. Everyone has a job around here, we all pitch in to keep this place running. Satyrs and Dryads work in the gardens, being all connected to nature. Harpies, pixies, and centaurs are scouts, scouts bring in other creatures to keep safe. Sirens work with the livestock, using their voices to keep them together and docile. Sphinxes work on setting traps in the forest nearby to keep humans uninterested and frightened of the woods. Vampires are rare, so we don't have any specific jobs for them yet, but they usually end up helping the sirens of sphinxes. Ichthyocentaurs work in the pipe system, checking for leaks or breaks. Mers like yourself usually work in the kitchen, but if you don't want to work there we can find something else. You do get a week to get used to life around here before starting your job. This is most likely just a confirmation meeting." He explains, kitchen work huh? I could handle that.

"We're here!" Roundface says, all smiley again. She opens the door and leads us in. There we see a decent sized room, shelves covered in anything and everything. Aizawa sits at a desk which is also cluttered. He looks up at us, when was the last time this fucker slept?!

"Kirishima. Bakugou. Take a seat." He gestures to the chair on the other side of the desk. Kirishima pushes me next to the chair before sitting down. "I'm going to get straight to the point here. Bakugou, you seem to be doing well, so I'm going to ask that at the end of your first week or so you start working in the kitchen."

"Sure." I deadpan

"Great. Kirishima, we heard rumors of a vampire in the woods, I want you to check it out. This may be a trap, so I want you to take this." He holds out a jar, which is filled with black smoke that swirls around like an angry tornado. Kirishima takes it, "If trouble does come, and you can't escape, open or break the jar, and we will know what happened to you. Other than that, don't break it. You both can go, Kirishima, I want you to leave before sundown. That's all I have to say, both of you can go." He finishes, Kirishima stands up.

"Thank you sir." He says, before turning to push my tank out of the room, once we're a ways down the hall, I turn to face him

"Let me get this straight, you're going out to save someone. Someone who could be real, or someone who could be a trap?! Are you seriously going to do this?!" I'm furious. He should not be risking his life on a 'maybe there's someone out there'

"Yes, because if there actually is someone, and they get killed. It's on me. It's not manly to sit and let things happen. I'd rather die doing something important, than sit on my ass with regret." He argues, and I'm slightly taken aback, when did he get assertive like that?

"I still don't think it's a good idea..."

"Hey man don't worry about it, it's gonna be ok. I promise. While I'm gone try to make a friend on your own, think of it as a challenge." He suggests, smirking at me

"Tch as if." I scoff, I don't need anybody. You'll come back and I won't need any extras hanging around me

"Ok well it is going to be dark soon, and I gotta go. I'll take you back first." He proceeds to lead me back to the pool area.

"Hey shitty hair... be safe ok?" I mutter,  almost wishing he doesn't hear me

"Aww thanks Baku, will do." He smiles, before shrinking down to flutter off. Damn shitty hair, you better be careful or I'll kill you.

«*•*•*•*•*»

"Hey man, I brought you those chili chocolates, what do you think?" Sato holds out the small plate, I take one and pop it into my mouth, mmm these are pretty good

"Not bad, personally, I think it's too sweet. Next time I'd suggest a thinner layer of chocolate going around-" I'm cut off by a wisp of black smoke flying through the halls, heading for Aizawa's office. No. No way, that's the smoke Kirishima was given. Something happened. That bastard promised me everything would be fine. He PROMISED

"Dude what was-" Sato's words are cut off as I dive underwater to curl up on my bunk in the fetal position. This isn't happening, this can't be happening. Damn it Kirishima you better be ok. After a few minutes I feel a tap on my shoulder, its Sato

"Someone's here to see you" he clicks. I nod, and swim up

"Bakugou, Kirishim-" I cut her off

"I know, I saw the smoke." I deadpan

"I wanted to tell you, he was captured by the Shie Hassaikai." The emporium place? They probably collect rare creatures, and since it's well known they probably have a lot of creatures held there... hmm that might just work!

"Roundface, do you know around the location he was captured at?" I ask

"I could figure it out, why?"

"Could you take me to Aizawa? I might just have a plan on how to get him back."

Another chapter my dudes, sorry it's kinda short. Next one should be pretty long though!
