Stay Hidden (KiriBaku story Fantasy AU)

Part 6

POV Denki

"Kiri hasn't come back yet and it's getting dark" I say looking out the window.

"I know denks I'm worried too but there not a lot we can do. We've already been out to look for him and found nothing" shinso said wrapping his arm around my shoulder.

"I know but I don't want to let him down. Not after everything he's been through"

"I know babe but. How about we go and talk to my dad if he's not back in the next hour. We'll ask him if half breeds that have just turned 18 act out of character or something like that, obviously we'll be more discreet"

"thanks shinso, that sound good" I respond leaning into him.

"hey have you found him yet" mina questioned sounding just as worried as me, as she stormed in with sero following closely behind her.

"nothing yet but we've got a plan" shinso responded. Then continued to tell her what it was.

"I just don't want anything to happen to him. He's already lost his family once" mina said cuddling into seros side as he wrapped his arms around her.

One hour later

POV Aizawa

I open the door to see shinso, denki and their friends. After inviting them in I ask them to sit down but none of them move. They seem tense. After a moment of silence, I ask what I can help them with and denki whispered something to shinso but I couldn't hear what. Shinso steps forward, looks me in the eye and said very seriously

"dad, I need to ask you something very important and I want to remind you that if you tell anyone about what we've asked because we're not hunters we could be arrested" when I hear this I start to panic, what have these kids done.

"listen shinso I'm your farther I will always protect you and your friends if I have to. You can ask me anything" when I say this shinso takes a deep breath out.

"we kneed to know exactly what happens when a half breed turns 18. We kneed to know how they act and if their personality changes or if they act differently. You need to tell us if they-"

"this is about that red head you've been letting stay in your tavern, isn't it" a voice from the door cuts shinso off. Everyone in the room instinctively looks in that direction.

"from the looks I just got from you four I'm guessing I'm right" he said walking in my direction. Hizashi, I thought he was asleep.

My attention was brought back when the very distressed girl uttered "yes".

Hizashi sat next to me and whispered to me "I've seen this kid around. He's very nice, he would never hurt a fly. I'm going to help them but to be able to fully help them I need to tell them. This kid could be in real danger. A half breed turning 18 is troublesome enough without them being hunted"

I think for a second, looking at him I already know he is going to help, but I just want him to be safe so I quietly suggest to him that we find out what the problem actually is, thankfully he agrees.

"so what is the exact problem with your friend" the girl from earlier scurried forward quickly to answer.

"hey you probably don't know me, I'm mina. Me and sero own the blacksmiths next to your son's tavern. Me and denki have known kirishima, the half breed, since we were 14. His family had just been killed and he was barely alive. We helped him find a shelter, became friends, so on. Anyway, when they" gesturing over to denki and shinso

"brought the tavern we convinced him to move into a spare room. He was able to control himself perfectly fine, until he turned 18 a few weeks ago. Since then he has been having outbursts, sneezing fire, uncontrollably half turning and now he's gone missing. He went in to the forest earlier to let off some steam and never came back. We're worried something has happened to him and with the hunt Bakugo was on about kiri could be in real danger."

This wouldn't have been this much of an issue if there wasn't a hunt. This kid is in real trouble if he's still out there by tomorrow they will find him. What should I do?

"alright, this is what's gonna happen, you four are going to go home and make sure all of his belongings are hidden extremely well. If he has already been found and turned in for being a half breed there is a possibility it could lead back to you and the punishment would be imprisonment for a long time if proven guilty." Hizashi said looking the most serious I'd ever seen him.

"at first light I will go and find him, no one is allowed to come with me. I should have found him by the time the hunt leaves at noon" he finished relaxing a bit.

For the first time since he entered my house the boy with black hair spoke, sero I think his name was.

"I hope you don't mind me asking sir but how do you know you will be able to find him that quickly, surely more people would be better. We coul-"

"listen kid in any other situation you would be right but this one is a little different. I will be able to find him as I am also a half breed" Hizashi sighed. The room went silent until shinso spoke up.

"ok dad's we'll do what you asked. Please be safe" and with that they left.
