Battle Scars (Discontinued) [Katsuki Bakugou x Reader]

Chapter 41| My Time is Up

"What do you mean?" one of your brows raised up as you stared at the man as he pushed his glasses up. "I'm dead? How did die?"

"You're not exactly dead or necessarily considered alive," He scratched his head. "I'll admit, your record isn't the most impressive as you have erm...killed quite a bit. Although reasons of the killing isn't bad either, plus, usually people who come to me are what you humans call 'good'."

"So am I stuck in between?" You blurted out, tilting your head to one side.

"I guess so," He sighed, snapping his fingers as two doors appeared behind him. "Life or after-life, the choice is yours."

"Which one is which?"

"I can't tell you that, you have to choose on your own."

"I don't know if I want to die or be alive."

The man's brows quirked up with surprise. "Almost everybody that's in your situation chooses to live on. So tell me, why exactly are you indecisive?"

You shrugged, "Going away is a easier choice and I won't have to be reminded of my past there. But I don't want my friends to suffer and cry themselves to sleep every night because of me."

He nodded sympathetically, looking down at the paper once again and scanning through the words. A few moments later, he flipped it over to the backside where you could see more words.

"Very well," He looked up. "I'll give you a brief overview of your current life and you will decide which path you will take."

"But I don't even know which one is the death door or the other door!" You complained with a sigh at the end.

"Dear, you'll know when your heart knows," The man chuckled lightly.

Before you could ask anything else, your vision blurred before you were in another room. Instead of the blank, white concrete walls, they were black. Which gave you no sense of direction.

"I'll play a few clips of your most precious memories according to your heart."

Flashback
Chapter 31–

"You have really pretty eyes, Touya." You suddenly said one day after sneaking out with your Senri while Takumi and Lucine watched for any signs of that bastard coming back. The two of you met up with Touya Todoroki, the eldest of the siblings.

"Huh? Really?" The red head scratched his head, face slightly red.

"Mhm, they can take my breath away!" You giggled, laughing for once.

"Thanks...what about Senri-Kun's?" Touya pointed to your older brother who leaned against the tree.

The silver haired boy picked up a fallen tree branch about three foot long, in a split second, pure white flames swallowed the wood. His quirk was similar to yours, but not quite. His quirk was called 'Hephaestus's Touch'.

Hephaestus was the God of blacksmith, crafting, and his strongest one, fire. Senri was able to summon weapons using his flames, the summoning part from him, the fire part from your mother.

"I hate them. They remind me of that bastard's. Sometimes I just want to rip them out." Your brother responded harshly, with no sympathy. You flinched as his harsh, cold words.

"No, that's not true. Yours aren't cold, emotionless or crazy looking. They're really bright! Brighter than the son! They're like a blood moon!" You replied, running over to him and wrapping your small arms around him. His crimson orbs immediately soften.
