Stay Hidden (KiriBaku story Fantasy AU)

Part 9

POV Dabi

"this is a mess, why do things never go the way I want them to" shigaraki wined. We haven't even left yet and he's already complaining, he's such a child.

"hey brat are you ready yet" shigaraki added scratching his neck. If he carries on, I swear you'll be able to see his esophagus.

"yes handy man, hey do you think we'll run into midoriya and uraraka?" toga replied. Wow she was in the room for almost 10 seconds before she mentioned those little brats, that's got to be a record. Focus dabi, find a dragon, get into the castle, carry out the plan then you can dich this stupid group.

"let's go" I said and started to leave, toga, shigaraki and twice following closely behind me.

POV Bakugo

"hey Bakugo, Baku you need to wake up now. We need to start walking back to the village." I hear the soothing voice of kiri trying to wake me up, his voice is so relaxing it's making it harder for me to move. It's weird he's whispering but he sounds so close to me. I move slightly and my eyes flutter open and I see red. My eyes fly open and I shot up. I was sleeping on his lap, how long was I out, shit I made a real fool of myself yesterday I hope he isn't weird now.

"Hey Baku, hope you slept well. we should leave soon, gather your things" kiri said as he took the torn part of my cape off his arm to reveal it completely healed. He then took the red fabric and wrapped it around his waist and used his belt to hold it up.

I can feel the blush spreading across my cheeks.

"Baku, are you going to move? Are you still shaken up about yesterday?"

"no shitty hair just lost in thought" I say gathering my weapons and putting them on my belt.

When we were both ready, we left the cave.

"so now that you know we could either walk or fly down the mountain there's not enough room up here for me to fully transform but I can half-" kiri began as he shut the door and boarded it up. "Baku I'm sorry I forgot we can just walk" kiri said cutting himself off.

Seeing the apologetic look on his face I walk over to him and wrap my arms around his neck. He won't let me fall.

"just don't drop me kiri" I say tucking my face into his neck. I trust him. I'm totally safe, I can feel my nerves building up. Then I feel kiri grab my thighs and lift my legs up around his waist and hold onto me. I look up slightly and see his red wings start to flap.

"I would never drop you and even if you did fall, I will be there to catch you" kiri said as we hovered in the air and started out decent.

I smile and watch the way his wings move.

POV Kirishima

He trusts me. Why does that make me feel so happy. It's a good job he can't see my face, I'm positive that I'm as red as my hair right now.

On the way down I can feel him loosen his grip, not completely but just enough to turn his torso so we are semi facing the same way. His face is so close, he seems calm and happy. Now that I'm really looking at him and he's not angry I notice how soft his features are, I notice just how beautiful he is.

When we reach the ground I let go of him and he slowly gets off me. We stand there for a moment until he talks.

"so if your comfortable with it we could just fly back but it will be in your half dragon form"

So he doesn't mind flying, maybe it's just the idea of falling that scares him, not heights.

"well unfortunately we are going to have to walk. I can't fly in my half dragon form for very long and I can't use my full dragon form in case someone sees me" I respond

"I didn't know that. Hey kiri, what's it like being a half breed?" Baku asked as he started walking back. I smile and run to catch up with him.

"it's really difficult actually. We're hunted, banished, killed, it's really dangerous. Sometimes our powers flare up as well, you know stuff like sneezing fire and so on. I haven't had a flare up since the other day, I think it's because I have been able to be in my half dragon form whenever I need to be. Anyway, it has its good side as well, we can fly, spit fire, heal fast, our scales protect us from a lot of harm and we get a unique power at some point, I'm still waiting for mine." I say once I caught up with him.

"sound interesting being a half breed. So are your parent's half breeds or what" Baku said and it went silent.

"well they both were while they were alive. We were hunted and they didn't make it" I said frowning

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to upset you" he said

"it's ok, I'm going to get revenge one day" I said felling my anger building.

"not to pry but how are you planning to find the hunter?" he asks. I looked at him with nothing but determination on my face.

"I have a very good memory; I know exactly what he looked like. Also, he had a weird catch phrase thing. He kept saying 'I am here' and spoke weirdly, I could recognise his voice anywhere, hey do you know anyone like this, being a hunter and all, you'll know other hunters, right. I'll describe him to you" I say. Bakus face went blank but he nodded.

After I described the hunter to him, he said he would need to think on it a bit to see if he knows anything as he doesn't really talk to many other people which doesn't surprise me. We walked and talked for a few hours. We talked bout his family, what it's like being a hunter, what I do at the blacksmiths, how I lost my family, the hunter who killed them and so on.

"Ei" Baku said stopping and turning to me "just so you know I'm not going to let anything happen to you, your safe with me"

"that means a lot Kat"

We stare at each other slowly moving closer together until our lips connect.

At first it was a sweet small kiss, but the longer it lasted the more intense it got. Kat put his arms around my waist pulling me closer and I put my arms around his neck deepening the kiss. We carry on like this until we need to separate for air. While were separated we rest our heads together and smile arms still around each other.

All of a studded we hear horses quickly approaching. Kat grabbed my hand and pulled me into the trees.

"what's wrong kat?"

"the hunt started today I'm just being prote- cautious. I'm being cautious. shh"

"hello is someone there? If you need anything, we may be able to help" a voice said from the other side of the tree. Looks like we weren't quick enough.

"deku" I hear kat whisper. Deku?
