I Met Him In The Wastelands | A BakuDeku Story |

Five | Katsuki Bakugou The Dragon Prince

Prince Shoto watched Iida and the rest of the guards return empty-handed, Shoto was livid. But lucky for Iida and the guards' king Enji arrived, he placed a hand on Shoto's shoulder. Shoto looked up at him ready to yell at him, "Calm down Shoto, now is not the time to be angry," Enji calmly stated as Shoto crossed his arms.

"We're sorry sir," a guard said as they all bowed.

"We were close to him but a boy and a big red dragon took him away," Iida said as he kneeled. Shoto ground his teeth as he attempted to control his anger, Enji watched him in the corner of his eye.

"DAMN IT, IIDA!" Shoto yelled, Iida flinched as king Enji scowled at Shoto.

"I am truly sorry, sir," Iida said as he kept his face lowered.

"Shoto, I'll deal with the rest. Go back inside and announce that Izuku Midoriya has kidnapped the princess and request wanted posters to be put up everywhere. Tell our guests that they have the option of staying here longer or going back until further notice," Enji told Shoto, the prince grunted and went back into the castle.

Shoto went around to the king's highest authorized servants, he told them the news and they immediately started making wanted posters. Shoto then went to the banquet hall next, all of the guests sat there making small talk with each other. They soon noticed the boy in the room, they went quiet waiting for the boy to speak.

"I'm sad to say that princess Izumi has been kidnapped, we've spent the day searching for her and sadly nothing was found about her whereabouts. We will continue this search until we find her, until then king Enji has come up with two options for you all. You may stay here until Izumi is found or until your kingdoms need you, and of course there is the option of returning to your kingdoms right away until we have Izumi, the wedding will happen there is no denying that," Shoto announced to them all.

There were some murmurs around the room, some began to leave while bowing to prince Shoto. Others stayed, but none of that mattered to Shoto. He had one thing on his mind, a boy and a red dragon. They sounded familiar to him, he wanted to figure out who they were and quick.

King Enji soon came into the banquet hall and whispered into Shoto's ear, "Go do what you need to do," Shoto quickly nodded and left the hall. He rushed to his father's office, he opened the door and slammed them shut behind him. He then searched through many drawers, it wasn't long until he found what he wanted.

A wanted poster with a drawing of a boy and a dragon, "Katsuki Bakugou, the dragon prince from the rebel kingdom. So he's still on the run?" Shoto said to himself as he looked at the drawing. "His mother and father must be proud of him," an authorized servant suddenly opened the room.

"Sorry to barge in sir, but where may king Enji be?" Shoto glared at the servant.

"Banquet hall, but I have a request before you go," the servants waited for Shoto to carry on. "Print these wanted posters again, but make the price higher and I want you to add something too."

"Yes sir," the servant took the wanted poster and left the office.

"I hope you're happy, Izuku. You sure are making this a challenge... I wonder how many wanted people you are going to meet," Shoto said as he picked up a random wanted poster out of the pile. "Hm... Ochako Uraraka, a witch."

"Hey, Midoriya! Why don't you stay in this town for the night? I know the inn's keeper nearby," Uraraka suggested as Izuku thought about it.

"Hm, I guess I could. But I can't stay more than one night, this town is pretty close to the kingdom," Izuku told Uraraka as she smiled.

"That's fine, I understand. Come on!" Uraraka grabbed Izuku's hand and ran to the inn. She swung open the door, "Tsu! I'm back!" she shouted as she let go of Izuku's hand. She ran to a girl with long green hair at the front counter.

"Hello again, Ochako," Tsu said as she cutely poked her cheek. She then noticed Izuku standing near the door awkwardly, "Who's that?"

"This is... Deku! He's a friend of mine from another town," Uraraka made up a random name for Izuku.

"Oh, it's nice to meet you Deku. I'm Tsuyu Asui, just call me Tsu though," Tsu said as she walked around the counter.

"It's nice to meet you as well, Tsu," Izuku said as Uraraka and Tsu started talking with one another. Izuku took it upon himself to look around the inn, it was very cute and home-like. Izuku became quite confused at how many frog decorations were inside the inn, he didn't mind the decor he was just confused.

"It's getting pretty late, would like me to give you both a room?" Tsu said as she stopped chatting with Uraraka.

"Ah, yes. A room for me and a room for Uraraka, I can pay for mine," Izuku told Tsu who gave them both keys.

"I always let Uraraka stay for free and since your a friend of hers I'll have you pay half of the normal amount," Tsu said as Izuku smiled, he then gave Tsu the money he owes her. "Your room numbers are on the keys."

"Thank you, Tsu!" Uraraka said as she grabbed one of the keys, Izuku also grabbed one of the keys. The two go upstairs, their rooms were next to each other. "Night Izuku, sleep well," Uraraka said as she unlocked her door.

"Night, Uraraka," Izuku said as he unlocked and opened his door. He walked in after making sure Uraraka closed and locked her door, he closed his door and locked it. He looked around the room, it felt just as homie as the main area.

He changed into his nightclothes and crawled into the bed, he pulled the covers up to his chin. He smiled to himself as he rolled over and faced the window, he felt like he should be panicked but he wasn't. It was because he had a certain someone on his mind that was somehow calming him down, he slowly fell asleep as the moon shined brightly through his window.
