Behind a smile

Part 26~Logical Break

~Koi POV~

Agitated, I dragged a screaming Bakugo away from the swirling purple gas. Did he not get that we couldn't breath in there?! I wasn't just going to let him die.

Finally being clear of the wretched poison, I throw Bakugo to the ground. "Will you stop screaming? You'll attract the whole forest here," I snapped. Growling, I brought out my compact watch and flicked it on.

"How dare you drag me away?! I'll find that villain who dares poison me and I'll destroy him-" I didn't let him finish as I covered his mouth.

"Be quiet," I growled. I was not going to let him bring a different villain here after I just dragged him away from one. "It seems my other siblings have forgotten that there is a tracker in their watches. I know where they are at any time."

"I don't see how that affects us!"

I rolled my eyes, he was annoying me. "If we know where they are, we know where the closest help is. It seems Izuku is still at camp with Chi, Sora isn't that far from us." I pulled up a map of the forest as seven dots appeared, one being myself. I frowned when I noticed the dots moving. Normally that wouldn't be a problem or suspicious but the way they were moving looked like they were fighting something.

"I'm not going for help! I don't need any help!" Bakugo let off small explosions, not large enough to cause problems but annoying nonetheless.

"Are you sure, Kacchan?" I smirked when I saw him freeze. He did not know how to react. Naturally I remembered who he was, I was the only one of my siblings who remembered our childhood friend.

"You- Don't call me by that name!" Bakugo grabbed onto the front of my hoodie and pulled me close so he could look down on me.

"Why? Izuku isn't going to use it any time soon. He doesn't remember you from before U.A, I do," I said simply. "And if it will make you stop to think, I think I'll call you what I want, Kacchan."

"Don't call me that!"

Before he could think, I pushed him to the side. Strange blades dug into the ground where we had been standing, they looked like metal but it was too white.

"I have to follow... I have to do my job..." Being supported up by the blades was a weird man in a black straightjacket with the edges of his mouth being pulled back and the blades going into his teeth.

The blades were made of teeth? How strange? I wonder how that works.

I felt myself being pulled back by Bakugo who threw me to the side and into a bush. Teeth landed where I had been standing as I gave Bakugo a weird look. Why bother with saving me? That doesn't seem his style.

"This man is good at using the terrain with his Quirk," I analysed, using my watch to take a small photograph of the villain to compare to my database. Of course nothing came up. Stupid incomplete database.

"Even though he just looks like some scrawny small fry! You bastard!" Bakugo looked ready to attack as the villain sent out more teeth at us.

I jumped back and started calculating his movements. They didn't seem too random and it could be possible to predict his movements.

"Show me... your flesh..." The villain twisted himself upside down while screaming.

I easily dodged the movements this time, it did not take me long to compute such basic style. I noticed Bakugo was using his Quirk, only making small explosions like he was warming himself up for a bigger one.

"If you use any large flame around here and the fire spreads, we'll be surrounded by flames and everyone will die," I warned him, noticing the dry ground.

"Shut up! I know!"

Looking around, there wasn't anywhere we could run to. The villains Quirk could easily move around the trees to get us out from hiding so we can't hide. They were also faster than us so no point in running.

Watching the movements, I saw my chance, I grabbed Bakugo's arm and dragged him through the blades. Angrily, Bakugo screamed in protest but quickly caught on, which was a relief. I don't think my ears could take any more.

Noticing a blade aimed at our heads, I threw Bakugo forward and jumped back. I couldn't dodge the blades aimed at me as I felt a series of blades go through my limbs.

I let out a scream of pain. The villain turned to me, he had stabbed my right wrist and pinned tit to the ground. He hit my left leg and right ankle and finished with one to my stomach. I lifted my free arm and grabbed the one in my stomach and tried to pull it out, cutting my hand in the process.

Bakugo looked at me in half horror before looking at the villain. "Don't touch him! Die!" Jumping forward, Bakugo blasted himself up to the villain. He let out a large explosion that threw the villain off me. The blades were ripped out of my muscles causing me to scream loudly.

The embers from his explosion landed on top of the dry ground, catching fire to the weeds. The blaze was quick to grow, eating every plant in it's path.

I forced myself off the ground, screaming when my foot touched the ground and collapsing from the pain. I need to return to Izuku.

"Shit!" Bakugo quickly grabbed me, throwing me over his shoulder and running away.

Why was he helping me? He just cared about Izuku remembering, he didn't care about me. He should just let me return to Izuku.

"Don't you dare give up!" Bakugo glared at me as I smirked.

"I won't." Sadly, I could not keep that promise as a painful serged ran through my body and caused me to scream. I could vaguely hear Bakugo screaming at me before I collapsed into the void of darkness.
