Exploding Through Dimensions

Chapter 12: Demon Slayer

"Keep that shit up..." his voice was dangerous and deep yet held something else she couldn't quite place, but whatever it was made heat travel throughout her whole body especially when his eyes lingered on hers a moment too long before he glanced upwards and towards the trees that held big webs. "And I won't hesitate to let go."

"You wouldn't." she slowly narrowed her eyes at a grinning Bakugo.

"Try me."

Parting her mouth in surprise she was about to snap back but all her words left her when she caught a glimpse of him briefly flicking his eyes to her lips, her chest then away with an obvious blush. Normally she would be appalled at what she caught him do since never in her life would she had ever thought Bakugo of all people would even take a second to look at her that way, but right now the way his face stayed hidden...she just found it cute.

"Now let's go." Releasing his hold on her, he immediately felt her grabbing onto the sleeve of his shirt. "Not this again." He groaned as he began to stomp his way through the thick forest again making sure to stomp on anything that would try and crawl near him. "Why can't you just walk like a normal damn person?"

"And if one of those things gets on me?!"

"Being up there doesn't make it any better you know." He pointed upwards. "Those up there actually look way bigger too. So, you know what that means-""

"Bakugo!" She quickly released her quirk landing on a small pile of leaves as he began laughing out loud.

"Not funny!"

"Hell, yeah it is." He turned around to face her, grinning when he saw a few stray leaves in her hair. "Little pink cheeks is scared of tinny little spiders."

"So what?" she puffed her cheeks out and quickly made to stand next to him as she glanced up. There were webs as far as they could see, so big they could possibly even hold a person. Quickly removing that disturbing thought far away she looked back to see Bakugo carefully watching her.

She noticed two spiders began to crawl on his arms and legs and without removing his eyes from her, flicked them away.

"See nothing to it." Turning to continue walking in hopes of finding everyone, he briefly hesitated before looking back at her worried expression and offered his hand. "Here. Just stay close to me and we'll make it through this shitty place alright."

"Ok." Nodding she timidly placed her hand in his as they began walking and due to her nerves running rampant, she was unaware of the small smile on his lips. "Do you think the others were send here too?"

"Not sure. But it'll be hard to find them in a big place like this. First thing we have to do is figure out where the hell we are."

"And then?"

"I don't know. Without Pikachu here there's no way home."

"So, what, we would be stuck here?!" she scoffed and that alone brushed him the wrong way.

"Listen Round face, I know I'm probably the last person you want to be stuck here with-"

"That's not what I'm saying at all." She planted her feet firmly on the ground and removed her hand which caused him to stop and look back at her. "All I'm saying is that this place is way different than the others we've been to."

"I know that." He deeply exhaled glancing around. It didn't take a genius to figure out that wherever they were, wasn't someplace good. This place had an eerie cold feeling to it that felt like someone was constantly watching their every move. "Look let's just keep going. No point in just staying here."
