to be a phoenix// k.bakugou

xiv

Kirishima drives down to the same abanded parking lot that you and bakugou were in this morning. he parks his car and hits a button in the car. 

solid, gas, solid. 

the next thing you knew you were three were in a room that wasn't as detailed as the other rooms you've seen but a decorated to make it seem like it costed some hard cash. 

Kirishima walked out of the room by going through a wall.

"O-Oi! he just went through that wall!"

mina giggled then grabbed your hand and pulled you through the wall to a hallway. 

"the hell was that?"

"a barrier,"

"for what?"

"sometimes people kidnapped the in-between demons like us and force us to take them here, to hell, so when we take them here, we show them to the door and the walk threw it and die. if you were really invited here, you can go through the wall. the boss doesn't like uninvited guests," Kirishima explains

"in-between demons?"

"the souls of the dead who were recruited by the phoenix to show and travel clients to and from hell. like us!" mina says brightly.

"wait..so everyone here is dead?"

"well except for you and bakugou," 

"ah...um, is it rude to ask how you're dead?"

"no! I get the question all the time! my stories just boring and plain, I died from loss of blood. I got kidnapped, tortured, blah blah, and bleed to death. it's such a boring story." mina whines

"oh, wow..wait that's boring?" you ask

"yes!" she pauses and starts laughing hard, "my friend,  sero, his story is hilarious! I almost died of laughter,"

"how'd he die?" 

she contained her laughter a bit to get the words out, "he-he tried to microwave-a microwave!" she laughed hard after that crouching over holding her stomach.

your eyes widen at the stupidity of it, "he what?"

"it created an explosion that killed him!" she was now whipping tears from her eyes,

you slightly smiled and continued following them, "what about you?" you ask Kirishima

"oh, sacrificed my life for a friend," he says casually rubbing the bad of his head with a small smile

"wow..thats a true friend..." 

"yeah...most people here have either really bad deaths, cool deaths, or stupid deaths," he pauses, "unlike me who had a 'noble' death, at least that's what mina says.

"then why are you down here? instead of up there?"

"killed some people with no mercy," he says even more casual than when he said his death

"haven't we all," you sigh and continued walking

you three arrived at the elevator and pressed the up button, "we have to go now but the top floor is where you need to go!" mina says

"oh ok," 

"see you again y/n!" the two walk back and you're left alone, waiting for the elevator, at least until you see bakugou appear a few feet from you. 

"oh your here," you look to the blonde

"hey," he walks closer to you and you feel your heart go crazy. you stood still facing the elevator and just as he takes his last step towards you the elevator doors open.
