Another Chance (My Hero Academia)

Chapter 36

*No One's POV*

After the world watched as All for One was pronounced dead on the battle field, they were filled with a sense of peace in a way. People cheered loudly at the weight of his fearful presence being lifted, but soon, everyone was wondering who Homura was.

Well...not everyone...

At the Aizawa household, Shouta, Gran Torino, and the UA teachers sat in the kitchen and dining room. Computers and notebooks were out as everyone planned to find Riki. In the morning, they would call the police and report her as a missing person. That's something Aizawa never thought he'd see in his life. The news blasting Riki's name, labeling her as a missing person, who was last seen in the hands of the League of Villains.

After the first fight, All Might and Gran Torino returned to the group of UA kids. It was no surprise that they weren't happy that teenagers had snuck over to such a dangerous place to save their friends.

Friends.
It's plural.

The group stared sadly at the heroes when Bakugo muttered the words, "She's not with us" to the two family-like members of Riki. Bakugo explained that Riki was downstairs in a separate room of the bar and she never came out, even after they were moved elsewhere by All for One. The two men knew that Riki was somewhere else because the bar had already been searched. It was declared empty.

Riki had been there...but she had disappeared.

Hurriedly, Momo told the older men to call Aizawa and see if she had teleported back home since she had that ability. Much to GT's and All Might's surprise, he had Gran Torino call Aizawa since his arms weren't in good condition.

Aizawa, who was trying to hold his worry back, said that she hadn't returned.

That caused more of a panic. Riki was gone, no one knowing where she was. She was either safe or in danger. She could still be with the villains, or maybe she was hidden somewhere in the bar. Maybe she was...no. No one wanted to go that far.

Out of the class, Bakugo and Shoto were the saddest. As they took a train back to their hometown, Shoto and Bakugo were silent.

Shoto had lost his half and half twin that eagerly talked to him, becoming his first friend. She made him happy no matter what.

Bakugo has lost his friend, and the girl he had a huge crush on. Sure, he wouldn't admit it at the time, but he slowly fell for the half and half girl. She was a weird, insulting, and mysterious girl that always did whatever the fuck she wanted. She was hella smart and also hella beautiful. She had obviously been through a lot by the scars that she was given and Bakugo wanted nothing more than to kill whoever hurt her and then protect her forever, keeping her safe in his arms.

He absolutely hated himself for freezing up that night in the forest. He wasn't expecting Riki to just kiss him out of nowhere, but she did; it's what Riki would do. He regretted that he didn't kiss her back. Even more when the events after the kiss happened, making him realize that he might never see Riki again.

But he didn't want to believe it.
She had to be alive.

Everyone's phones were blowing up with texts as Class 1-A found out how the (was thought to be a bluff) rescue mission went and if everyone was okay. When it was revealed that Riki had gone missing, the class flipped out. Before anyone could ask, it was told that Riki didn't teleport back to her house.

She had just...disappeared.

*Riki's POV*

I walked out onto the third floor, killing everyone I laid eyes on. The workers tried to attack me or whatever but they immediately fell down, shaking as black liquid gushed from their mouths.
