Wave point Kiribaku

Chapter 38, Why?

Kirishima's P.O.V.

I pulled out a strand of hair, rubbing it silently between my fingers. It twirled.

"WHAT THE HELL, WHAT THE FUCK!!-" I slammed my hand into a stationary boulder, but the pain that shot up my arm did not register because of the pain that had been already swarming around my body. "What the hell was he thinking?!" Tears started to form around my eyes as I thought of the two I had now lost, without thinking I tried to hit my hand against the rock once more to let out my frustration. This time to be stopped by a familiar pair of tentacles wrapping around them and halting my action.

"Kiri, please stop..." Mina broke out, my watery eyes wandered over to hers only to be met by a reflection of mine. My heart shattered as I could also imagine the emotional turmoil Mina was also feeling. After all, they had grown so close over this journey, all of us had grown so close over this journey that it felt like losing family.

"You can't also get hurt...we already lost too much bro." Denki chimed in, his tail wrapped around him like a defense or a way of comforting himself. It twirled and pulled.

"W-why did he do that?..." I croaked out in between my blurry lens "-he didn't have to he-"

"You heard what he said Kirishima..."

"Friends help each other right?" I squeezed my eyes and clenched my fist in pain from remembering that moment, possibly the last moment I might ever see Katsuki again. "Th-that doesn't mean he should-"

"Kiri-"

"Not only that but I lost my little sister- AGAIN. She might be dead, they might both be dead." both of them are special, Marina's fins are a collector's treasure, and Bakugou- well Bakugou is, he is-

My treasure

I lost two fish very important to me, I flicked my tail in anger and overwhelming sadness.

"Kirishima...-" I ignored the calling of my friend until 4 strong limbs wrapped around each of my shoulders forcing me eye to eye with an anger-filled Mina. "What is with you! We have been travelling together for over 3 months and this is not how you act when something bad happens. You are usually the first to motivate everyone and give them assurance, you are the first one to give everyone hope" I know Mina was trying to cheer me up but something about her sentence "Where is the bright and cheerful Kirishima that we all know and love eh!," made me snap. I tugged on it a little.

"Insurance! Insurance. MINA I CAN NOT BE THE HAPPY GO LUCKY FISH ALL. THE. DAMN. TIME! I get angry, I get SAD! I don't show it because I already know my role involves being happy so everyone else can be FUCKING HAPPY!-" Mina's eyes grew wide with realisation, as I slowly inched closer and closer to her "-but what about me! How am I supposed to give everyone else hope if I don't feel any myself!" I need to-

"Kiri-" Mina tried to interject. I pulled at it.

"NO!- Let me talk." I felt my hands clench, not noticing the fear that was growing in Mina's eyes. "Did you see those guys? Did you see how strong they were..." my eyes were stinging. My face felt cold and hot why?

"Kirishima please..." Mina meekly shot out, but from my sheer overwhelmed emotions I didn't notice the tears that were forming in her eyes.

"They are on land, look at us!" I pointed towards my tail in frustration "We aren't land creatures, we are meant to live in the FUCKING sea, but I decided to go on a fun adventure with my little sister to go save our dead parents because I was lonely!" my throat was stinging from all the yelling, "AND you-You have the audacity to tell me to be-"

I yanked a little too hard.

"Kirishima stop!" I froze in my tracks as Denki flew in front of me and Mina, his face fueled with anger. "What the hell man! What are you trying to do to Mina!" What was I- My eyes shrunk as I released my demeanour and I immediately snapped my head towards Mina.

She was crying and shaking as Denki was quietly consoling her. My eyes were riddled with regret and my stomach was doing flips as worry settled in my heart. "Mina..." I tried approaching only to be shot a deadly look from Denki that immediately told me to back off. This was not a simple "back off look", this was the look that predators would exchange between each other if they wanted to kill prey. I was being threatened for my life. Never once did I expect a day to be shunned by Denki of all people. The most easy-going friend of them all, unable to hold real grudges, unless it involves food -and friends apparently.

Marina would know what to do- but she was probably dead. Bakugou would be able to give me a hug as well, as I stared enviously at my- at them. The deathly quiet sea that was once filled with Mina's cries were now being drowned out by the pitter-patter of water falling onto the surface of the sea and our heads.

I raised my chin to the air and let the water fall onto my cheeks, washing the salt off my face. This must be what humans call rain. I thought to myself quietly, ignoring the small sobs escaping Mina. The dark clouds rolled in covering the once warm sunlight. The weather reflected the current broken state of everyone and I let out a small chuckle at the irony of it all. I glanced over at Denki and Mina, still in each other's embrace, my heart stung. A hug would be nice, real nice. Eventually, Mina sobs were completely drowned out by the downpour as I slowly parted away from them.

"Hey mum, why are relationships so fragile?" a curious young fish asked from his mother's lap, his mother smiled and reached down to stroke her son's flaming bright red hair.

"Well, you see my little guppling, relationships are very delicate, like this strand of hair. A simple strain-" the mother pulled the strand of hair. "-can cause it to break, and most times when it has broken it can never be fixed again." The child looked up at his mother with a puzzled look, not quite understanding what she meant. The mother let out a small chuckle.

"Well, just promise me you don't strain too much on the hair strand and snap it okay?" she held out her pinky and index finger

The child, not quite understanding what his mother meant, nodded and smiled, because he wanted to please her. "I promise!" he copied his mother, holding out his pinky and index finger. The two of them gently tapped them against each other sealing their promise. Earning an eruption of laughter from the child. "I'll tell my brothers and sister's that as well!" the mother smiled at her son's response.

"I am sure you will be my little ball of sunshine."

The downpour was heavy, it was suffocating, it was drawing. I just want quiet. I pulled on the strand of hair before there was no longer any strain. I looked down onto my palm there laid two separate pieces of a single strand of hair.

"Oh...It's snapped"

The rain was deafening and it weighed too heavily on my shoulders. I don't like it.

LMAOOOOOO, its been a whilleee hasn't it? Anways I had this chapter since like the last time I updated but I had planned on editing it but never got to it. So where have I been? No where actually I just tbh lost interest in writing as a whole. Tho I'm getting back into it lately and I don't want to leave this fic like this. 

I WILL FINISH THIS FIC! and not those fake finishes that authors usually do that move at the speed of light lol. I will properly write out more chapters and publish 'em I don't know when or how many more chapters this fic will go on for but all I know if I will finish it mark my words. And yeah the current story is at the climax rn so after this whole thing is dealt with then the story will be ending. 

TLDR: I will finish this don't you worry!
