Stay Hidden (KiriBaku story Fantasy AU)

Part 30

POV Kirishima

There's a couple of things I want to say but I'm just not sure how. Firstly, I wanna ask about going back to the village. I like it here and I'm able to be myself but I miss my friends, plus it wouldn't be very manly to just disappear after all they've done for me. I also wanted to talk to baku about how I feel. I know he probably doesn't feel the same and I don't want to make things awkward but it's gonna eat me up if I don't. I don't even know if I'll be able to, yes you will don't be a pansy... we'll see. Kiri what are you doing? There's no point just thinking about it, go talk to him.

Where would he be? We've just eaten and I stayed behind to talk to the others but baku went off to be antisocial so maybe he's in the cave or sitting under that tree he likes. Walking out of the cave I see a red cape under a tree, yep that's gotta be him.

"hey baku, you okay man, you looked really focused?" I asked smiling then I sat next to him

" 'm fine kiri, I was just thinking" he grumbled

"what were you thinking about? you don't have to tell me" he looked at me blankly then rubbed his hands over his face.

"okay kiri, I can see you like it here and I'm guessing you probably want to stay but I have to go back and I want to leave soon. I want us to stick together because, because we get each other you know but I get it if you don't want to come with me, I just wanted to let you know I'm leaving later" he said looking up at the leaves of the tree his head was rested on.

"actually, I wanted to talk about that. I wanna go back too"

"you do? But I thought-" he said looking at me

"well you thought wrong, I like it hear I'm free but I miss my friends and I've gotta let them know I'm okay. It's not manly to randomly ditch your friends" I laughed and he smirked.

"so when are we leaving?" I asked

"it's probably best if we leave at noon, it's still quite early now so you have time to say bye to everyone and leaving at noon will give us enough time to go a good distance before it gets dark"

"okay sounds like a plan"

"we should go tell them were gonna leave and find out if there is anything else we need to know about half breeds"

"why do we need to ask about half breeds?"

"well you're dumb ass didn't really know why you were having flare ups when you turned 18 and something like that may happen again, it's better to be safe than sorry idiot"

"hey I had that situation under control blasty" I say smirking

"I could tell, it's not like we're in this situation because of you or anything"

"ohh you wanna play the blame game huh, well I recall you following and attacking me, so really who's truly to blame" I totally win, I mean I'm right. I smiled and saw baku walking away but he waited for me to catch up when I called out to him.

POV Aizawa

We've been walking this path for a few hours now and I can tell we are getting close to the top. The path has been a slow and steady incline but I know we're almost nearly there because the air is thinner now, it's also slightly colder, to the average person this change would probably be unnoticeable but to hunter it's one of the first things we learn.

When we were only an hour in we could see drawings on the walls and they seem to go all the way to the top. They are mostly pictures and the others have been amusing themselves by trying to figure out what they mean. I'm not complaining, it's keeping them entertained and stopped them from asking irritating or stupid questions.
