The force of Bakugou's Howitzer Impact and Yuuki's Aura Impact shook the entire forest and made it impossible for the cameras to capture them properly. It was as if their Quirk coming together were meant to cause a huge destruction and leave a massive impact to imprint in everyone's memories. After their attacks met one another, they resorted to try and take down the other in a physical fight.
"Yuuki-chan is amazing to go on a one-on-one against Bakugou-kun like that." Uraraka, who had fought against Bakugou at the Sports festival, couldn't even lift a candle to him even though she had a plan. She thought it was amazing to see a girl actually fight against Bakugou in a battle of Quirks and physical strength. "I need to make sure I don't lose too!"
Midoriya smiled at her words; Uraraka's not letting the loss from last time get to her. Instead of feeling down and admit she would never beat Bakugou, she told herself she will improve to the point where she will one day stand a chance. He then he looked at the screen. "Yuuki-san have a different upbringing than us all. She is also a lot stronger when it comes to withstanding pain. Do your best, Yuuki-san!"
"Kuh...!" She spat a bit of blood away when his fist hit her in the cheek. "Is that all you have, Bakugou?! It doesn't hurt one bit!" She dodged the next punch and she kicked Bakugou in the stomach, making him vomit a little.
"Hah! Your punches and kicks tickle!" Neither of them were willing to stand down! They continued to beat the other with a punch or a kick! 'She's fast and strong in her honey badger transformation, but she is a lot stronger now!'
They're both beating up one another, but there was a smile on their face. Yuuki and Bakugou smiled after receiving each painful hit from one another. Have they finally snapped? What were they smiling at? Their smiles of pride was visible to one another, they were able to tell one another that they were proud.
"You idiot badger..."
"I am a wolf right now."
"Stupid dog!"
"Hehe, close enough!"
Bakugou showed off his signature confident smile and he used his Quirk to fly high up in the sky. He could feel his arms beginning to strain. "This is going to be my final attack! Take it and accept it!"
Yuuki smiled when he started to come down at her like a meteor. "I wouldn't want anything less!" 'This is possibly my last attack too. Ah, I feel weak already...but if I don't answer Bakugou's answer with my own, I won't be able to move on!' She tightened her fist and she roared out like a wolf!
"Bakugou, Yuuki! Stop this at once!" Aizawa was about to activate his Quirk, but the force of the gale was far too powerful for him to open his eyes! "Shit...! Kirishima, stay down!"
Bakugou crashed down with the force of a meteor! He used his right fist to deliver the final blow! Yuuki did the same too, she punched his fist with her own, the white aura all focused all on her fist!
"Yuuki!" Todoroki shouted out as he watched Bakugou fly down with full force. For some reason he was reminded of the scene when his mother snapped and broke down. Will he lose Yuuki too? He did not listen to the teachers and he ran for it like his life depended on it!
"Todoroki-san?!" Yaoyorozu didn't expect Todoroki to run out with such an emotional face! She hesitated for a moment but she followed too because she was worried Yuuki was hurt.
One by one, every student ran out of the monitoring room because they were worried about their new classmate.
Their attacks met one another again. A huge explosion and a powerful gust of wind made it hard for the trees to stay rooted. Everything was being blown away by their attack that packed a lot of impact, it was as if their powers were made to cause an impact that could blow everything away.
Aizawa protected Kirishima and he slowly opened his eyes to see the destruction. He could see smoke, but where were his students? Did Yuuki pass the test? He couldn't see from all the smoke!
The walls that surrounded the forest area crumbled down, the whole wall becoming nothing more than debris and dust. The animals that lived within the forest all escaped in order not to get involved with the crossfire of explosions and aura. The force of the impact was so powerful that leaves were blown out of their holds on the branches, trees were lifted from the roots!
However, when peace followed after the destruction. The powerful gale came to a stop and left smoke flowing from the ground where their fists met.
Yuuki was on the ground, face first, because she was tired and she didn't have the strength to stand anymore. Holding the tape in her right hand, she could only breathe and sigh as she felt hurt all over. What was this feeling? She never felt anything like this before. She felt pain many times, but none of them compared to now.
"It hurts...it hurts." She closed her eyes and a single trail of tears left her eyes. "It hurts." It hurts so much that she cried.
A shadow approached her and Yuuki felt someone help her up. Yuuki leaned against the person who helped her up. She reached her hand up and she pressed it against his chest to feel the beat of his heart. The white aura left her, leaving behind her black ears and tail, and her hair went from long to short once again. Yuuki opened her eyes and she looked up at the person who helped her up with her blue eyes. "Bakugou, can we stop fighting? Because it hurts. It hurts so much." Even though she was in a lot of pain, she still hugged him. She wrapped her arms around him, her eyes closing with tears coming down. "I want to fight with you using our Quirks, but I don't want us to fight when you act like you hate me. I don't want you to hate me." She held tightly to the back of his tank top because there was a part of her who was afraid he will leave if she were to let go. "Please."
Bakugou touched her back with one hand and he gently pressed his cheek against the top of her head. He could feel her tremble against him as he tiredly opened his red eyes. He gave her a tired smile, "When did you get this strong, you idiot badger? If you do this, you'll make it hard for me to stop you being a hero. I...I..." He couldn't tell her she will be put down if she were to lose control. The more he wanted to warn her about the danger, the more he told himself to be quiet, and the more weight he had to shoulder. The more he wanted to say it was unfair for her to be a ticking time bomb, the less closer he was to the answer. He didn't expect Yuuki to display such a powerful will to remain in control; the red and blue in her eyes...he was the reason why she could stay in control. He thought he had nothing to help her with but now he does. "Yuuki..." He wrapped his other arm around her, hugging her tightly.
Yuuki gasped a little and then she slowly smiled as she remembered what Kirishima said about Bakugou. "Hey, Bakugou? Is it okay for me to live? Can I live in honor of your Yuuki?"
"You don't have to be my Yuuki to live. I just want you to live...if it means I have to be the most horrible person to you, I'll do just that." He brushed a few strands of her hair away from her face. "I want to protect you...I want to protect you so much it hurts." He only knew how to cause a huge-ass explosion, he doesn't know how to protect something.
The white haired girl wailed against him as his words continued to fill the cracks he had made in her heart. The more he was healing them with his true feelings, the more the tears came forth. "Bakugou...!" She was crying and laughing right now. "Hehe! I'm so happy! Knowing you don't hate me and you're not truly trying to stop me being a hero, I am so happy! I'm so happy it hurts!"
Bakugou sighed and he took the tape from her hand.
When the smoke finally cleared and everyone finally caught up, they saw Yuuki was no longer in her human form.
Bakugou tiredly sat down and he looked at everyone with his annoyed expression. "The fuck you guys looking at?"
Yuuki's clothings were on the ground and Bakugou picked up the honey badger and he carried her. Yuuki had passed out from exhaustion. He couldn't help but smile a little; now that she was like this, she really reminded him of his pet. She had turned into a honey badger because she had crossed her limit. "Idiot badger." The tape was loosely around his left wrist, but it still counted as a capture. 'You didn't truly catch me, I'll let you off this once since you've controlled the wolf.' He thought to himself. "Heh, do I take you to Recovery Girl or do I take you to the vet?"
The others were glad to see they were okay in the end. Sero and Kaminari did question what Bakugou was doing with Yuuki before but the explosive boy remained silent about it.
Watching from afar, Kirishima couldn't help but smile at the way Bakugou smiled while stroking Yuuki. "It should be like this..."
"What was that, Kirishima?" Aizawa asked.
"Nothing, Sensei."
Aizawa sighed, "I don't care much about this drama you guys have around here, but don't go around doing things you will regret later."
"Don't worry, Sensei. I never regret a thing!"
...
Yuuki woke up to the sunset. She was still a honey badger and she had bandages on her arms and legs.
"Did I see the vet or did I see Recovery Girl?" She asked no one this question because she was all alone in the nurse's office.
"You saw Recovery Girl, you dumbass badger." Bakugou had been by her side this whole time.
"Just you?" She asked.
He wanted to be alone with her so he told everyone to fuck off and threatened to cause an explosion if they did not leave the vicinity of U.A. He had been an ass to her for a good while so he thought he'd try and be nice to her.
Yuuki smiled and she jumped away from the white bed and onto Bakugou's lap. She lazily rest herself on him and she let out a little yawn.
"You lazy fat shit."
"You're so mean!" She rolled over to her back and she started to scratch her stomach with the claws on her paws. "I like this form too, it's convenient! I can be in my birthday suit and no one will bat an eye!"
"Just make sure you don't do this shit without clothes when you're back to normal. Are you ready to leave?"
"Hey, hey, did I pass?"
Bakugou made a 'hmph' noise and he crossed his arms, "I let you capture me. You did not capture me yourself. It's a 1000 years too early for you to successfully capture me!"
"Yeah, yeah."
"Tch. Let's go home, Yuuki."
"Your home or my home?"
"Which one do you want to go to?"
"Let's go to your home tonight! I look like this right now, might as well make the best of it!"
"...idiot." He picked her up and he started to carry her out.
"Bakugou, where's my locket?!"
"It's in a bag."
"Thank god..."
"You like Deku's gift so much?"
"I...w-well, the locket is nice, isn't it?"
"Hmph!" He ignored her and he continued to walk. He thought about what happened earlier...
Bakugou inspected the locket himself when she was asleep. He listened to the music box inside of it for a good while before he closed it again. He turned it around to look at the back. What was engraved behind it? He couldn't make out the letter.
"Fucking Deku...!" He opened the window and he was about to launch it through the air with his Quirk.
"Bakugou, don't!"
Bakugou looked down to see Kirishima was not gone yet.
"Why are you still here?"
"Because I had a feeling you will do something to that locket. Don't throw it away."
"Why shouldn't I? She doesn't need shit from fucking Deku!" He got the pose ready to throw the silver locket away.
"Midoriya didn't get the locket for Yuuki, you idiot!"
"Huh?"
"Ah, I mean...h-he did! But technically...argh! I can't explain it!"
Bakugou frowned because he didn't understand what Kirishima was trying to say. "Deku didn't get her this?"
"He did! B-but technically, he didn't."
Bakugou finally decided not to throw it away. He looked at the back of the silver locket again to see the scratched up marks on it. "So who got it her?"
Kirishima looked like he wanted to tell Bakugou, but he stopped himself from doing so. "Bakugou, you just need to trust me."
"Trust you?"
"Yeah! What friends do!"
Out of the others in class, he probably considered Kirishima as a friend. "Tch. Fine!"
Hearing that he will not throw away the silver locket, Kirishima showed off his signature grin.
"You better get to the point where you tell me about this fucking locket, shitty hair!"
"You got it, buddy. I promise you it is a long story. So long that you probably won't believe me!"
Bakugou shoved the locket back into his pocket and he jumped out of the window. He used his explosions to lessen the impact as he landed safely.
"Good work fighting Yuuki on a one on one today! Man, you are harsh on her." Kirishima said to Bakugou.
"I fight her seriously because she is strong. You're the same too."
Kirishima smiled with pride, "She has changed, Bakugou. She is a lot stronger and will continue to grow."
"Hmph." He looked back up at the open window, he was thinking about Yuuki.
"Bakugou, you're always thinking about her. You might not say it or express, but I know."
"...you too, you shitty hair."
"Hey now, this isn't about me-"
"You like Yuuki too."
"Bakugou..."
"What? You think I don't know? You seriously think I'd miss the way you look at her, you asswipe? You always look at her as if you want to eat her up."
Kirishima had no words. He just stood there and looked a little nervous. What was Kirishima hiding from Bakugou? He seemed to know something but he wouldn't talk about it.
Bakugou smirked, "I know that because I look at her the same way."
"I-I don't plan to fight you for Yuuki-"
"If you call yourself a man, you will not continue your sentence!" Bakugou rudely interrupted him, "Why are you making it look like you're giving her to me? Don't fucking hand her to me like that without a fight!"
"Bakugou?"
"It's because of you that she was able to come back. I've always hated how it always seems like you're ahead of me when it comes to that girl. Why it's you the one who can make her come back from being a wolf...I hate how you're able to do something but not me! Fuck!"
Kirishima looked down at the ground, unable to say anything about it. He couldn't, he didn't know where to start, and he knew Bakugou will not believe such a far-fetched story!
"Listen up, you shitty hair! If you like her too, then fucking don't let go yet! Let go when she completely falls for me! Until then, don't you fucking let her out of your fucking eyes!"
Was this just a manly way of Bakugou telling Kirishima that he acknowledged him as a rival?
"Bakugou, a-are you sure?"
"Out of the others, you're close friends with Yuuki. If you stay away from her for me, she will be sad. Continue to be your idiot self with her. You and I will settle this without her."
Kirishima grinned and he held his hand out, "May the best man win!"
"Tch!" Bakugou hit Kirishima's palm with his own, "I will be the one to win! Don't you worry about it!"
"Heh!" Kirishima then realized something, "What about Todoroki and the others?"
"I don't give a damn about them. They can suck on air for all I care."
"Don't sink their ships so early, man."
"Bakugou, hello! Earth to Bakugou!" Yuuki crawled up a little and she licked him on the lips.
"What now, you smelly animal?!"
"I just wanted to say if I am going camping, do I need to pack anything?"
Bakugou's vein was on the verge of popping, "What make you think you wouldn't need to pack?!"
"Because I had nothing when I was back in my world. If I am packing, I guess I'll take my bed."
"Are you an idiot?!"
And so, they have a few days to get ready for camp...
