...
"I have to see Deku today."
Bakugo thought to himself as he stood up from the couch.
Because the infected were delt with properly, there wasn't any proper reason to be in the bunker.
So they had all been seated in Todoroki's actual home.
"Where you going?"
Sero asked as he watched Bakugo walk over to the door and slip his shoes on.
"My mom has been spamming my phone.
She came to pick me up"
Bakugo lied.
"I wish my parents would.
They told me the house is too far out and to just wait for public transportation to be available"
Kaminari sighed.
"Same"
"...well she's here.
So I have to go"
"Get home safe!"
Bakugo walked out the door on that note.
"I'm lucky that my house is in the same city.
It'll be a distant walk but I should be able to get home soon enough"
He thought to himself as he got to walking.
It took a long time to make it to his neighborhood.
Instead of going to his house directly, he went to Midoriya's for obvious reasons.
Midoriya awoke to the sound of knocking on his door, he let out a groan as he contemplated sleeping through it.
However he couldn't because bakugo began to ring his phone.
He needed answers and he was desperate for them.
Midoriya slowly crawled out of bed, "this better be important.
Hm.
All might died I should make myself look sad"
He thought to himself as he shapeshifted to look like a sad human who lacked sleep.
He kept his blanket wrapped around him for show as he opened up the door with bedridden hair.
"... good morning Bakugo..."
Midoriya forced out as he checked the time.
It was actually 12pm, he had only returned back from Germany a few minutes before.
"It's noon, Deku."
Bakugo said as he forced himself in.
"I just woke up, I wouldn't know"
He said with a yawn.
Midoriya shut the door as Bakugo slipped off his shoes and walked over to the living room.
Midoriya followed behind a bit confused as to what the deal was this time around.
He hadn't entered his home since the mini dispute the both of them had.
"Deku.
There's something important I need to talk to you about"
Bakugo said as he glanced up at him.
Midoriya sat down diagonal to him, wrapping himself up in his blanket.
"What is it...?"
"...the blood reaper...
Did you see them with the league...?
Yesterday...
We had listened in on the whole conversation that villain was having with the league.
We even looked over to see who was talking.
But we couldn't see the blood reaper.
Are they in the league...?"
Bakugo asked.
"The blood reaper...?
No...
I don't recall seeing them or anyone under that name while I was there...
Why?"
"...all might and AFO fell infected.
But that villain wasn't at sight at all.
To where it doesn't even make sense.
...
They had to be on the scene.
But the only people there were the people of the league...
All might...
And you."
"...what're you getting at, Bakugo...?"
Bakugo took a deep breath in, "can I get some water from your fridge?"
"My fridge?
I'm afraid I don't have any water bottles in stock.
I was supposed to go on my weekly shopping today but...
Well...
You know..."
Midoriya said as he acted.
"He figured it out.
I should kill him.
But I can't.
It's likely the others that saved me know he came to visit me.
So if he turns up dead after a visit with me, wouldn't it be suspicious?
The best thing I can do as of now is erase his memories.
But I hardly have the energy..."
"Then juice would be fine.
Or do you not have that either?"
Bakugo asked as he stood up and inched closer to Midoriya.
"Bakugo what's wrong...?"
Midoriya asked with a pitiful sigh.
Bakugo didn't reply.
He only stared at Midoriya with a fearful glare.
He suddenly ripped off his blanket and grabbed his arm.
"Freezing cold huh?
And you were wrapped up in that blanket."
Bakugo hissed as he slapped Midoriya's hand back down.
Midoriya stood up, he was beyond annoyed.
"Bakugo.
What are you getting at?"
Midoriya asked, much more sternly as Bakugo backed up a bit fearful as everything clicked into place.
"You're not Deku, are you...
You're...
You're the blood reaper...
Posing as someone innocent...!"
Bakugo said, half right and half wrong.
He couldn't bring himself to believe that the person he had known to be the most nice and innocent was actually the most henious villain of Japan.
Midoriya's strained smile faded away as he glared at Bakugo, "Kacchan.
That's a nickname from your childhood.
Not just anyone would know that."
He could see the color drain from bakugo's face as he ran over to Midoriya's kitchen and ripped open the fridge.
Midoriya followed behind, "well the cat's out of the bag.
I'll erase his memory and send him out.
What a pain"
He groaned as he released his shapeshift and walked into the kitchen.
"B-blood..."
Bakugo said as he felt his heart beat rapidly.
The fridge had been full of blood bags.
"Congrats on figuring it out.
Do you want a trophy?"
Midoriya sneered as he stood by the doorway.
Bakugo slowly turned around and looked up at Midoriya who had been standing at over 6 feet tall.
He had menacing crimson eyes and obvious fangs paired with his pale skin and claw like hands.
"... you're the blood reaper...
What..."
Bakugo felt his mouth run dry as his palms grew sweaty, his knees followed and grew weak. he felt like his arms were heavy as he felt his breathing quicken along with his heartbeat.
He had never felt betrayal like that.
"I don't know how you figured it out before you came here.
Even erasing your memories like before will start to become useless"
Midoriya sighed as he approached.
Bakugo froze in place, he felt as if he had been physically stabbed in the back.
"Deku...
How could you!?
All those innocent people...!
And you're...
And you're not human...???
All might...!
Endeavor..!
And hawks!
You killed all of them along with the thousands of other innocents...!
Why!?"
He screamed as explosions fizzed out his hands.
"Why?
Isn't the answer obvious?"
"I can't believe you...
All these years...
11 years...
Of you tricking me...!
Tricking everyone!
I will tell everyone...!
You think you'll get away with this!?"
"I'll get away with it as I've always have before.
You think this is your first time finding out the truth?"
Midoriya sneered as he paused halfway close to Bakugo.
"...you erased my memories...!?
How many times did I find out before this???
How could you??
I can't believe this..!"
"Hey you said that already.
And this is your second time.
The first time, I told you.
This time, you somehow put the pieces together and found out.
And guess what."
"...what"
"When you find out the third time, you'll be killed.
As they say.
Third time's the charm"
"...why didn't you kill me the first time?!
I'd rather die than continue to be friends with you obliviously!"
"I was contemplating it actually.
It was after you decided you wanted to figure out who the blood reaper was in your own.
You kept asking me to work with you.
I revealed myself to see if that would stop you but it didn't.
So I erased your memories and kept you alive for the hell of it.
Who am I kidding.
No I didn't.
It would just be suspicious if you turned up dead while walking with me."
Midoriya laughed as he stepped closer again.
"Stay back!"
Bakugo screamed as he sent out a small explosion.
Midoriya shook his head, "this'll be funny to watch for a third time.
Look.
In just a couple minutes you'll forget about this entire occurrence and you'll go back to being my friend again.
And there isn't anything you can do about it"
He said with a laugh.
"You bloody bastard!"
Bakugo sent out a bigger explosion and tried to run away but Midoriya stopped him with the flick of a finger.
Bakugo was flung right back onto the hard tile ground of the cold kitchen floor.
He looked up at Midoriya, angry and petrified in fear.
"I'd kill you right now if I could.
But there's a good chance that Todoroki knows you came here.
And if you die, won't it be suspicious?"
"...I will figure you out again..!
And when I do that time around I won't repeat this mistake...!
I'll report you directly!"
Bakugo screamed.
"You won't even know you made this mistake to begin with.
And you'll repeat it.
Because to you, when you find out again it'll be your first time finding out.
But to me, it'll be the third time.
Isn't that amazing?"
Midoriya said as his fangs bared.
"I hate you with every fiber in existence...!
What did my dad do to you!?
Why did you have to kill him?!"
Bakugo screamed as tears streamed down his face.
"Oh that.
It was an accident. I didn't intend to infect him but he was just there."
Midoriya said as he thought back to a couple months ago.
"So you just infect people without thinking about the consequences it'll have on everyone else...?!"
"Yeah.
I don't care about you humans.
Not anymore at least.
I learned my lesson the hard way millenniums back.
You know, maybe I should infect your mom next"
Midoriya hissed as he forced Bakugo's head up so he could begin to erase his memories.
"Millenniums...?!
How old are you!?
And if you go after my mom I'll kill you!"
"That's not something you need to concern yourself with.
Now.
Goodbye.
I can't wait to watch this for a third time"
Midoriya said with a smile as he snapped his fingers.
Bakugo fell under his control.
Midoriya let out a loud groan, "ow"
He felt all his energy begin to deplete quickly as he erased bakugo's memories.
He made sure he remembered nothing of coming to his house or even figuring out who he was.
The only issue was that because Midoriya didn't know what made him find out, he couldn't erase those particular memories.
He could only remove the parts where bakugo found out.
Which was good enough.
"Alright.
Now leave my house and go home"
Midoriya hissed.
Bakugo walked out midoryia's house robotically as he walked home.
Once he was close enough to his house, Midoriya released him from his control and immediately went back to sleep in his room.
"Note to self.
Erase Bakugo's memories as soon as he tries to come into home."
Midoriya mentally groaned as he melted into his bed.
_________________________________________
Bakugo walked into his house, a bit discombobulated.
"I feel like I forgetting something...
Hm.
Probably just a random thought.
I hope deku's alright, I know he really looked up to all might like I did...
And now he's dead...
Because of that bloody bastard!
First my dad...
Then hawks...
Then endeavor...
Now all might??!
I have to figure out who they are as soon as possible before more tragic incidents occur..."
Bakugo walked into his home.
His mom had been weeping a bit, the reason was obvious.
All might was dead.
Which only meant worse things were to come.
She had been watching the news of his tribute to society, they had made one for all the heroes who's lives had been lost.
All might's tribute was especially long.
Many people all around just wanted to see more of him for one last time.
But that would no longer be possible.
_________________________________________
Monday sluggishly rolled around.
After a sad mournful weekend, no one had really wanted to show up for work.
The same applied for students all around.
But they had no choice in the matter as life still had to progress...
Aizawa walked into class, everyone had been seated silently in wait of what he had to say.
Midoriya had been preparing to zone out as he was assuming it would be another sappy speech.
However he was hit with something different.
"Because of the incident...
UA has installed a new security system.
You all will live in a dormitory system for the rest of your time here at UA"
