Stay Hidden (KiriBaku story Fantasy AU)

Part 23

POV Bakugo

It was early in the morning, I had slept under a tree near kirishima and the others had gone into the caves for the night.

I looked over to where he was sleeping and he was still in his dragon form. "if he's still in his dragon form tomorrow, then we can start getting concerned" rumi's words popped into my mind. Shit, did she mean tomorrow as is later in the day or now, should I be worried yet, of course this is all my fault.

"Bakugo, I'm gonna talk to kirishima" eyeliner guy yelled as he jogged over to kiri.

They has a small conversation and by that I mean eyeliner asked and kiri shook his head to respond, what if he cant turn back, it will be my fault.

POV Kirishima

I'm feeling much stronger today but I've already tried to turn back and I can't, what's stopping me? I hear keigo yell that he is coming over to talk to me and look in that direction, I see baku sitting under a tree close by. I wonder how long he's been there; he probably needed some time away from the others.

"hey kirishima you feeling better today?" keigo asked, I nodded, he smiled hopefully

"have you tried turning back?" I nodded and his smile faded slightly and he took a second to think

"do you feel like normal? Do you feel as powerful as usual?" I shook my head from left to right and he smiled again

"ok I think you need a little more rest, wait till you feel like you have regained your usual strength and then try transforming again. By the way make sure when you do this me or rumi is close by because you will lose all your strength all over again and the others may get concerned" I nodded

"well get some rest I'm gonna go talk to dabi but ill be back over later" keigo said and jogged over to dabi who was near one of the caves.

I turn my head back over to baku he was still sitting under the tree but now he looks sad, he probably doesn't want to be here. He lifts his head up and looks directly at me, he slowly moves it looks like he was going to stand up until toga comes skipping over to me with twice close behind, baku scoffs and looks the other way, I'm guessing he really doesn't like them.

"hey kiri how ya feelin" toga askes and stares at me

"yoga you idiot he can't talk" "you're not an idiot, I'm sorry" "but it's obvious by ow that he can't talk" twice said turning to have a little conversation with himself while toga giggled at him.

"sorry kiri I forgot, you feelin better?" she asked, I nodded, she smiled brightly then sighed

"but I'm guessing not enough to turn back huh" she said sitting down next to me with twice next to her. They stayed with me for a long time, telling stories and making jokes. Eventually the others brought some food over, one of the best things about being a half breed is that even when in my dragon form a human sized portion is still enough, I can't imagine having t hunt as a full-time dragon they eat so much. The night continues exactly the same until everyone went to sleep. Baku joined us for food and stayed afterwards but never once said anything, he looked like something is bothering him, I have a good Idea what and when I turn back tomorrow, I'll apologise.

It was the next day and I was feeling even better than yesterday, I know I can turn back now, I will be able to do it. I look around hoping to attract Rumi or keigo's attention so I can turn back but I couldn't see either of them. I look at the tree closest to me and there baku is he is awake but isn't looking this way, I need to attract someone's attention so I can turn back. I decided to stand up and flap my wings slightly and within second all eyes were on me, now I feel awkward.

They were all walking over to me and I look to the tree again but see baku was already by my side. Once Rumi was close enough, she asked

"you ready to try switching back, just so you know I'm pretty sure once you do your energy will e zapped all over again" I nodded and tried to switch, I felt it working and I saw the smoke coming off me. This really is taking the energy out of me, why is this so hard.

Now I completely back in my human form but I was tired so, so, tired. I was blinking and every time it became harder for me to reopen my eyes, within seconds they closed and wouldn't open, I felt my legs go jelly and my hearing fade, I know I just need rest so I allow myself to fall asleep.

POV Bakugo

Kirishima. His eyes were closed and his legs went jelly, I caught him before he hit the floor and let him lean on me.

I could tell the others could sense my anger I guess it was showing on my face, I knew he would be tired but he just fainted for god's sake.

"WHAT THE HELL-" I start yelling but was cut off by eyeliner

"we said this would happen" ha said

"no you said he would be tired not exhausted" I say beck not yelling out of consideration for Ei's ears.

"I though it was implied" the fucking bird brain said

"well it wasn't" I say back through gritted teeth

"Bakugo bring him this way" Rumi said as she walked towards the end cave, I picking kiri up bridle style I followed her.

Inside was a wooden bed with some furs as pillows and quilts. I put kiri on the bed and sat on a wooden chair that was opposite the bed.

"he just needs time, shouldn't be that long. This is one of the spare rooms so he won't be disturbed. I'm guessing you'll stay here so someone will come get you for food later and like I said yesterday if you need anything and I'm not outside I'll be in the second cave from the left second door on the right " Rumi said as she walked out of the cave.

These caves really are big when they said families lived here, I thought they meant small families but judging by the size of this room alone they were not. The room has one double bed that kiri is on and a bunk bed in one area of the room. There were two large empty chests at the end of the bead and a few sets of draws I'm guessing for cloths. On the other side of the room was what looks like a kitchen set up, there was multiple cupboards and counter tops all made from wood. There was also a door leading to a bathroom where everything was made out of wood. I don't know who these people were but they are good with woodwork.

Hours went by and kiri was still asleep I was constantly trying to distract myself from the nervousness I was getting when I tried to think of what to say when he wakes up, to the idea of him not waking up. I used anything as a distraction, I was so deep in thought that I almost missed him speaking, almost.

"Bakugo?"
