Hell Rings

Ochako POV:

As hours passed with our little shopping spree, I couldn't help feeling the insationable urge that someone was watching us. I couldn't put my finger on it, but it didn't feel like one of the members of Truce since they give off a different feeling when they're around. It almost felt like someone or something that wanted nothing more than to kill. I couldn't tell any farther than that, so I just brushed the feeling off for now. "Hey Ochako. You ok?" Tsu walked over kinda curious for me to reassure her and the others. "It's nothing. Just thought I heard something." I kept looking to find a cute tank top to wear and also a nice jacket that could fit Himiko. 'Maybe I should get her something. She seems to be kinda ok with me.' I checked in my wallet to see I had just enough for both. 'Sweet.' we went to the register to pay and head out to continue our trip. During the whole thing, I had no messages from Izuku, no realization he was around, not even one of the other members of Truce to check in on me.For once since I started in the group, I felt like I was warmed up to by Izuku to deserve trust from him. It felt really nice.

As our little trip came to an end, the girls and me started heading back to UA and talk about what we bought. The whole trip though, that feeling of someone watching never left me. Once we were on a side street that nobody visited often, I heard someone come running behind us. "Look out!" I shoved Mina and Tsu to the ground to have something nearly chop my head off. "Are you insane!? You could've killed us-" I stopped yelling when I noticed that the weapon was a Kagune. "A Ghoul?" "I'M NOTHING LIKE THOSE MONSTERS!" The unknown attacker kept charging for me to see the mask under a hoodie they were wearing. Izuku said sometime back that a troublemaker with a mask holding what looked like an eye in the center and a beak was recently killed. I think he said his name was Butcher. "So you weren't dead like Izuku said." I pulled out a case holding my new Quinque to fight. "Look, I don't want to fight you. So as long as you leave right now, this doesn't have to get messy." The Ghoul stares me down making axes in his wrists come out as his Kagune.

Butcher immediately charged at me as I pressed my case open to reveal a whip made from Big Madam's Kagune. I began to slash at him barely missing his neck before hitting the wall beside us. The impact made a giant crater able to almost make the whole thing come down. 'Holy crap that's strong.' Butcher came back to me trying to keep the distance between us to a minimum so I couldn't use my whip. In that time, I pulled a Quinque made to look like a knife out to hold him back before seeing Butcher's fist grow in size. 'Wait, Ghouls don't have quirks." The punch came at me for my body to barely block it and almost get pummeled by both the hit and the garbage behind me. I got up to almost get my head chopped off by Butcher again to lose my patience. "I'M DONE WITH YOU!" I attacked and connected with the hoodie for it to fall off and reveal who I actually was fighting. It wasn't Butcher without a doubt. It wasn't event eh same gender to make matters more messed up.

"Kendo?" She looked at me with anger before feeling the top of her head uncovered. "Kendo, why are you attacking me? I thought we were friends." "I don't care what you think! I'm trying to get my life back!" She held her wrists up with determination on her face. "And the only way to do that is to stop Truce." Kendo charged at me with my whip and knife ready to attack. Soon as she came close though, someone came out of nowhere to keep them from fighting anymore. "So this is what happened to you Kendo. I'm disappointed." I looked up to see Izuku come to help. "How did you-" "Yaoyorozu called me. She explained was happening. What I wanna know though is why Kendo thought it was best to come after you and our classmates. We've done nothing but try to help you. SO WHY!?" Kendo wasn't holding any punches back as she came at Izuku. Unlike me, she began to struggle as she was caught every time with her quirk, Kagune, even basic kicks to the point Izuku didn't even move any way or activate his. "Are you done? Because this is the dumbest thing I've had to do. You're in no way near my level, so let's end this already." This angered Kendo as she pulled some kind of bomb or something out of her pocket. "For you." She threw it with some white smoke coming out of it.
