The Bond

Piecing things together

*Warning: Mention of rape*

Todoroki's pov:

Okay, I'm gonna tell them what I do know and what I'm not sure about. "Okay, remember when Bakugou came to school after the kidnapping?" I ask and they all nod while looking serious. "Did any of you notice anything different when he came back?" Mina nods as everyone else thinks. "Bakugou wasn't as loud, when he was near me something felt off." Mina explains to us all. "Exactly what I noticed." I add, Mina smiles. "I didn't know you would pay attention to Bakugou since you guys are rivals~" She adds and the Bakusquad rolled their eyes. "Not the time Mina." Denki says to her and she nods. "Fine. Please continue." She says and I do as I was told. "Well after he sat down I followed him to ask him something but he was to focused on reading old messages from his mom like "Please come out and eat" and "Want me to have Kirishima come over, your fathers not home." Bakugou had said no to them both but I'm mostly curious about why he didn't want your help." I say and I watch Kirishima look down at his hands as the rest of the Bakusquad went quiet.

"She did have me come over even though he said no. I was the one who convinced him to come back to school when he did come out of the room I almost broke down in tears when I saw him, his eyes were red from crying, he looked really tired, his hair wasn't his normal spike and he looked so weak....." Kirishima adds while burrying his face in the palms of his hands. Poor Kirishima, he's the closest to Bakugou, to see him like that must of really hurt. I watched him weep and I think the others did as well until I looked at Kaminari who was trying to fight his tears as Bakugou had his face hidden from us. Is he awake? I ask myself as I looked at Bakugou.

"When I did come over to his house.... His mom looked a little hurt, she had a bruise right above her eye. When she saw me she got off the couch and walked over to me with a limp. She told me it was nothing but I didn't believe her at all. Also around 7:00pm they were trying to get me out of the house as if they were scared of something or someone. They got me out of the house but I just hid. When a car pulled in someone with brown hair stepped out and went in the house. The first thing I heard was Bakugou's mom apologizing to him for dinner not being ready. S-She was cut off when he threw something glass at the ground causing it to shatter. After that I just moved to the kitchen window. I think he was Bakugou's dad but I'm not sure. The man didn't look happy and I watched him yell at Mitsuki to clean it up before he disappeared into the hall. I heard him stomp his away upstairs so I climbed the nearest tree so I was peaking through Bakugou's cracked window. I know for sure he left that open on purpose for me. As his dad came in to the room all Bakugou did was turn around to face his dad then he got slapped in the face for no reason at all. His dad was mad that he didn't greet him at the door. That's it!" Kirishima starts to tell us. "I was trying so hard to stay outside but what I saw next almost scared me to death..." he says and ended the sentence with a small pause,

I had already shifted my eyes to him but when I heard his dad him I subconsciously clenched my fist shut tight. "Please continue." Mina says to Kirishima as she grabs my hands to try and calm me down. Kirishima waited for me to be chill before he went on. "Well um... he.." He was cut off by Bakugou. "He raped me." All eyes shift to Bakugou. He was fully awake while he stared at us. Even though he was awake he stayed in Kaminari's arms. "B-Bakugou?! P-Please tell me he didn't!" Mina says through her tears and the rest of us were mad except Kirishima he looked ready to leave the room. "Bakugou told me to stay quiet about it, especially in school. I really wanted to tell Mr. Aizawa or present Mic but he said not to..... so I listened." Kirishima says to us. "It's okay Kiri! Don't blame yourself for not telling us! You wanted to keep the faith Bakugou had in you so he would open up again." Sero says to Kirishima trying to cheer him up. I was about to say something but there was three knocks at the door so I went to open it. 

It was Jirou standing in front of the door. "Who said you guys could have a private meeting without me." She says while pushing past me. I closed the door and locked it again. When I looked at Bakugou he was already on the bed out of Kaminari's hold. I'm guessing he doesn't trust Jirou as much as he trust the others, probably because she's always with Yayarouzu. I sat back down and she sat next to Mina. "So I already heard your conversation and I want to help." She says to us while clenching her fist tight. "No one hurts our Bakuhoe without getting punished!" She says with a devilish grin. 

I just stare at her as the others agreed. "Oh! By the way, a lot of people already went back." she adds. "Like who?" I ask her and she starts listing names. The only ones that were left was Me, Bakugou, Jirou, Kirishima, Kaminari, Sero, Mina, Yayarouzu, and Midoriya. Not that many. There's three others who aren't apart of this, not to mention we still have Mr. Aizawa. I was about to ask something but there was a knock on the door so Sero opened it since he was the closest. 

I watch him open the door to reveal Mr. Aizawa. "We're going to do a scavenger hunt, you'll be in groups of 3 each. You'll be searching for things all around the cabin/house, there will be a few things outside but only one person will be allowed out for each team." he starts to inform us all. "I will discus more rules and partners after you are all dressed and fed. Now get moving." He tells us and Bakugou was the first to leave and get ready. Mr. Aizawa was about to leave but he saw Mina's tears still. "What happened?" He asked and we all just looked at each other as he watched us.
