Chapter 18

"Shit," Kaminari cursed under his breath, panic crossing his face. 

"DUNCE FACE!" Bakugou's voice screamed from not too far away, the sound echoing through the empty space around them. "WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU HIDING? I KNOW YOU DID THIS!"

"Have fun," Jirou whispered, grimacing. 

"Hey, how come you're not taking any blame for this?!"

"We made a deal, remember," She reminded him pointedly.

Kaminari's face fell. "Oh, right. Uh...come to my funeral?" He asked hopefully.

"Just don't die you dummy," Jirou muttered in reply, giving him a light nudge on the shoulder.

Grinning nervously, he stepped out from behind the rock and sloshed through the shallow water. "Uh, hey Bakugou!" He yelled cheerfully, waving at the angry blonde.

The greeting was returned with the most angriest, murderous-intent filled glare he'd ever witnessed in his life. "DUNCE FAAAAAAAACE, YOU IDIOT! MY ENTIRE FUCKING BODY IS COVERED IN SAND BECAUSE OF YOU!"

Jirou peeked at the scene from behind a rock, laughing at the sight. Bakugou started chasing Kaminari, who was busy running in circles around the towel setups. He ducked down, grabbed the bucket and shovel he'd borrowed from the family, and bolted down the beach with an angry Bakugou following close behind. 

Kaminari sprinted across the sand, being careful not to step into anything particularly sharp. He didn't feel like dying that day. Once he spotted the family he'd borrowed the equipment from, he breathed a sigh of relief, running over to them. "Thanks!" He yelled quickly, tossing the bucket and shovel onto their towel without stopping.

"DENKI KAMINARI!" Bakugou screamed, continuing to chase after him.

The family watched all of this in entertainment, amusement, and utter confusion.

Kaminari took a large loop around a bunch of people, apologizing when he knocked over a beach chair or two. He sprinted back towards the band's little towel setup further down the shore, glancing behind him to check if Bakugou was still following. He was, and he was gaining on him. 

"I'LL KILL YOU!"

Shit, this is bad, Kaminari thought. He knew that he obviously couldn't keep running forever. Bakugou was definitely stronger than him, and he probably had better athletic abilities as well. Soon, the angry blonde would catch up to him and possibly murder him.

There was only one option left...and if it failed, he was doomed. "KIRISHIMA!" Kaminari screamed desperately, waking the redhead up from his nap.

"Huh?" He mumbled tiredly, automatically snapping awake when he noticed the situation they were in.

"SAVE ME PLEASE!" Kaminari screeched, his eyes full of fear as he ran straight towards the redhead, hoping he'd take the hint and prevent a death that day.

Kirishima waited until Bakugou was about to run past him, grabbing his legs and causing him to trip and fall. He then quickly grabbed his arms, restraining the angry blonde from escaping his grasp. "Calm down Bakugou," He said quickly before glancing at a relieved-looking Kaminari.

"Thanks man," Kaminari replied, breathing heavily from all the running. He gave the redhead a grateful grin. 

Jirou stepped out from behind the rock, laughing as she walked over to the others. "Kaminari...you should've seen your face...it was hilarious!"

"Shut up," He muttered, giving her an irritated glance. "I nearly died!"

"But you didn't," She stated bluntly. 

"Where you in on this too?" Bakugou growled from under Kirishima's grasp.

"Uh, maybe?" Jirou admitted, chuckling at the memory of Kaminari being chased around, a terrified look on his face.

"Pfft," Bakugou grumbled. "I'll get you two back someday, don't forget that!"

"Whatever," Kaminari muttered, before mentioning, "I'm hungry."

"I heard there's a really good outdoor buffet a few blocks away from our hotel," Kirishima suggested, grinning. "After showering and getting all this sand off, why don't we have lunch there?"

"Ooh, great idea!" Kaminari replied.

---

The four of them made it to the outdoor buffet. The entire place was on a large, wide deck made of light wooden planks. Rows of wooden buffet stands were set up, with silver trays filled with food on each one. Above the stands were glass canopies, shielding the food from anything that could fall onto it. Past that were many tables and chairs set up for people to use, although some people were just leaning against the wooden railing around the deck, eating while standing up.

After paying a certain amount of money per-person, they entered the buffet area. Bakugou immediately stomped off somewhere, with Kirishima following behind. That left Kaminari and Jirou, who took a minute to stare wide-eyed at all the food. 

Kaminari grabbed the nearest plate and began to help himself, stuffing a piece of food into his mouth while at it. "Mmm," He said happily, putting more food into his mouth.

Jirou rolled her eyes at this. "Can't you wait until you're done getting your food before you begin eating?"

He gave her a confused look in reply, his mouth stuffed with food and his cheeks puffed out. "But why do that when I can eat it now?" He asked.

"You're such a dork," She grumbled. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted familiar raven hair in a ponytail. Wait what?

"Hey, where are you going?" Kaminari asked in bewilderment, watching as she walked off in one direction.

Jirou walked up to the woman with raven hair, tapping her on the shoulder. 

She turned around, looking surprised when she spotted Jirou. "Kyouka! I didn't know you were here!" Yaoyorozu said in surprise.

"I didn't know you were here either," Jirou replied, noticing a dual-haired man with heterochromatic eyes standing next to her.

"Oh, forgive me! I forgot to introduce you two," Yaoyorozu said apologetically, gesturing to the dual-haired man beside her. "Kyouka, this is Shouto Todoroki, my colleague. We're here on a business trip. Shouto, this is my best friend Kyouka Jirou."

"Nice to meet you," Todoroki said with a nod, sticking out a hand.

Jirou shook his hand. "Nice to meet you too," She said cheerfully. "The band decided to take a break and go somewhere fun for a few days, so here we are," She added, explaining why they were here.

"Oh, I see! Shouto and I must go now, we have a meeting in half an hour," Yaoyorozu said apologetically, giving a wave of farewell. "Enjoy your trip!"

"Thanks," Jirou replied, walking over to where Kaminari stood, munching on food and watching the scene with an expression of curiosity on his face.

"Isn't that your friend over there?" He asked, pointing.

"Yeah," She answered, grabbing a plate and putting some food on it. The two then sat down at a table to eat.
