§When The Fire Dies§

⁑Chapter 6⁑

"DENKIIIIIII" Called Toga "WHERE ARE YOUUUUU" she walked quietly but quickly barely giving a sound with each step. Kaminari swallowed nervously. "KAMINARI ISN'T HERE" He yelled reflexively. Toga froze slowly turning toward the sound "WHY" she said trying to make sure of his location. "Because he's dead...fuck-" Kaminari muttered.

Toga pulled open the hatch and found Kaminari crouched in a hole. "hi Kami!" she said. Kaminari sighed and stood "hi" he muttered. 

"you notice how Kacchan smells like blood all the time" she said.

Kaminari looked at her "uh, no," he said slightly scared, "why were you...smelling him" he finished slowly.

Toga hopped back "it's kind of hard to miss" she said. 

Kaminari shuffled uncomfortably, he hadn't noticed. Bakugou had said he was going out, probably on a killing spree. Kaminari had been charged (see what I did there) with keeping the 'organization' in check while he was gone.

"you wanna play another round" asked Toga. Kaminari shook his head "no we should investigate why Bakugou smells like blood" he said. Toga nodded "that makes sense" she said. 

They both walk down the halls quickly to Bakugou's singular cavern. Kaminari grabbed the handle and slid open the door, flinching at the smell of blood. Toga stepped back "see what I mean now?" she asked. Kaminari nodded "god...smells like a blood bath in here..." he said stepping in and almost immediately  stepping into a puddle of blood. He took a step back and glanced at it.

"hmm...," mused Toga " looks like it came from a cut not a stab" she muttered. "I agree not enough blood for a stab" Kaminari said. 

The duo explored more, Kaminari poked his head under the bed. He spotted a hole in the bottom and reached his hand in and felt a pain. He quickly pulled his hand back wincing. Kaminari examined his hand and his eyes widened at the blood welling on his finger.

"hey Toga" he called.

The blonde girl came over and looked at his cut and quickly swiped her finger over it and licked the blood. "hey!" Kaminari complained. Toga smiled "a razor cut right?" she said. He looked at his cut and slowly nodded "yeah, your right"

Toga stuck hand under the bed and pulled it out a few seconds later. She was hold a disturbingly bloody razor blade.

"whoa," said Kaminari "the cut was that deep?!" Toga looked at him slowly "no you idiot this isn't your blood" she said. Kaminari blinked "then who's?" he asked. Toga sighed "do I really need to spell every thing out for you?

"this is Kacchan's blood" she said

Todoroki walked slowly through the forest. He had been scoping out where Hawks and the other guy who I knew but couldn't remember the name of. "come on its on the tip of your tongue" he cursed to himself, realizing he was talking out loud. 

Todoroki stopped and climbed a tree and sat in the branch. They didn't come this far. Maybe  the black haired guy was Hawks's...what captor or something? No way, sure He did have a cast over one wing but his quirk was powerful he could still defend himself.

Todoroki started spacing out. He shook his head and pulled out his not book opening it to a page in the back he gave a faint smile seeing his drawing of Midoriya. The last time Todoroki had seen Midoriya had been...last year? Maybe, after Bakugou had gone missing.

Izuku had spent ever hour searching...

and searching...

and searching...

and searching...

searching...

Todoroki's thoughts trailed off to Izuku.    *flashback*     Izuku stumbled into the room looking exhausted Shoto turned. Izuku's eyes were dull and he stumbled into Shoto's arms. "wh-what, Izuku are you-" he was cut off when Izuku pressed his lips to Shoto's. 

Shoto leaned into the kiss enjoying it to much, he forced himself to pull away "I-Izuku are you okay..." he asked. His friend leaned heavier against him "Sh-shoto I know I'm not going to find him, but I'm still looking and...and...I'm suppose to be strong" Izuku sobbed leading into Shoto. 

"whoa that's fine you have feelings to...you don't have to be strong for everyone" Shoto responded. Izuku looked up at him and it hurt his heart to see how broken his friend looked "but-but I'm the symbol of peace" he said, bringing his hands up to Shoto's face and kissing him again.

Shoto flinched but didn't pull away, he wanted this so much. He pulled off but Izuku brushed his lips against Shoto's making him shiver, you're so broken, he thought wrapping his arms around Izuku. 

What am I doing? He thought I can't make out with my friend. But he wanted to. Izuku's words interrupted his thoughts "Shoto...I-I want you" she whispered there lips still brushing.

Shoto flinched again, and I want you...but I know you don't mean that. He managed to push Izuku far enough away, not speaking. Shoto sat Izuku down on a chair and forced a normal voice "Midoriya I'm going to call over Uraraka she'll take you home...okay" he said. 

Izuku shuffled gazing at Shoto with hollow empty eyes. Shoto turned calling his friend. Within a few minuets Uraraka came in fussing over Izuku questioning why he was in his hero suit covered with soot. 

They left Shoto alone and he sat down slowly putting his head in his hands. I want you to Izuku, I really do he thought.
