The Dragon & The Kitsune.

Chapter 20 - Rhyki.

Rhyki groaned as her alarm went off. She opened an eye, glaring at the offending thing. Why was it the other side of the room though? But then her sleep induced brain woke up and memories surged forward. Izuku was home! She got out of bed and slapped the alarm into silence, before turning around. And sure enough, there her brother was. Sleeping soundly. He was curled up on his side, facing her. Rhyki leaned over and nudged his shoulder to wake him up. Before she realised what was happening, she was flat on her back and Izuku was above her, a fist cocked.

"Going to hit me?" She grinned as he blinked a few times.
"Jesus Christ!" He growled before getting off her and flopped back onto the mattress. She twisted to look at him.
"When the actual fuck do you even fucking wake up like that?" She demanded.
"Since I was away and on the first night, they tried to test me. Been like it since." He replied.
"Test you how?"

"Tried hitting me to show that I was nothing. Didn't go to plan. They were all knocked out within the span of thirty seconds. Then I was moved to my own room and they were warned to leave me alone." He shrugged.
"Fucking hell. That's ridiculous."
"We know that. At least they didn't try it again." He smirked, making her snort.
"Whatever hot shot. Get your arse up, we have school."
"Urgh, don't remind me." He grumbled before climbing from the bed and going into the bathroom, just as her phone binged. She got up and had a look. As she saw who it was, a grin appeared.

CaptainBastard: Morning Little Dragon. Still meeting at the usual place? X

Rhyki: Morning. Yeah, we are x

CaptainBastard: Great. Just text when you leave, and I'll leave too x

Before Rhyki could answer, Izuku appeared and she glanced at him.
"Why are you smiling?" He questioned.
"I am? Oh. Anyway, Bakugou messaged about meeting to walk to school together. Can I tell him that you're finally back but keep it hidden from the others?"
"Sure."
"Great." He grabbed his school clothes and went back to the bathroom. She focused on her phone.

Rhyki: Sounds good to me. Oh, I have a surprise as well x

CaptainBastard: What surprise? X

Rhyki: IZUKU IS FUCKING HOME! Woohoo x

CaptainBastard: Hold up, what the fuck?! When did he get fucking back?! And finally, the Ragtags are complete again x

Rhyki: I know. Don't say shit to the others though, it's a surprise for them. And he got back late last night. Surprised me completely! I will warn you; he isn't without injury though x

CaptainBastard: What injuries has he got? He alright? X

Rhyki: Yeah, he's fine now. He got slashed by claws. He'll explain it better. I need to get ready. See you in a bit x

CaptainBastard: Indeed you will Little Dragon xx

Rhyki: Yep. Laters Dragon Tamer 😉 xx

A blush appeared on her face as she sent that. Why the fuck did she put that? Fuck!
"Why are you blushing?" Her head snapped up and Izuku was staring at her, a sly smirk on his face.
"No reason."
"Yeah, don't start lying to me now."
"Fine. I was talking to Bakugou and, well, fuck sake, here." She lobbed her phone at him, grabbed her clothes and dashed into the bathroom, slamming the door behind her.

She emptied her bladder, scrubbed her teeth clean and yanked on her clothes. Doing the tie up, she looked in the mirror and rolled her eyes at herself. She was such a fucking idiot. There was definitely no taking it back now. Not that she would if she were being completely honest with herself. She liked that feisty blonde. As in like, liked him. They'd gotten really close over the past two weeks. All of the Ragtags had, but more her and Bakugou. During school, it had been the case of you see one, the other was there. Pulling open the bathroom door, she went into her room and Izuku was on the edge of his bed. Her phone now on her bedside table. He glanced at her when she dropped beside him.

"Go on, say something." She sighed.
"Why the hell are you two not together yet?"
"Seriously? Out of everything, that's what you're fucking going with?"
"Yes. Yes, it is. Now answer."
"Honestly? I have no fucking idea. I guess we're just taking it slow." She shrugged.
"Don't give me that simple answer. It's clearly obvious that you two are obsessed with each other. Why else would you have smiled when he text you?"
