Baka!

Chapter 3: In My Way

I got into a fighting stance staring him in the eyes

"You'll just have to fight me to keep me away then, won't you?"

Iida looked at me surprised, before putting his hands on his hips.

"I was not planning on engaging in combat so early on in the competition, I'll have you know I'm very quick-" in a flash of wind I flew past him snatching one of his tags, he whipped around staring at me dumbfounded

"You talk too much" I growled lunging at him, he dodged every kick I threw and moved around the roof of the building at such high speeds that I almost couldn't keep up with him. The ground shook underneath us, I'd moved too far to the right. Dammit. I stopped throwing kicks and backed off, causing Iida to shoot forward as I suspected. I allowed him to grab me by the wrist and swing me over his head, just as he did the ground vibrated again with another one of Bakugo's explosions.

Bingo

Iida flung me toward the ground and at the same time I shot a huge gust of wind in the opposite direction sending us crashing straight through the top of the building

"BAKUGOO!"

Katsuki Bakugo POV:

Midoriya dodged my attack for the second time and it was starting to piss me off

"DAMMIT DEKU JUST GIVE ME THE DAMN HEADBAND ALREADY" I released an explosion at him and the damn idiot dodged again, I growled lunging at him

"BAKUGOO!" I heard screaming followed by crashing and the ceiling caving in, I just barely gripped the damn headband when mid air I was whipped in the opposite direction and flew out the window and into the next building. I flew through a couple of windows and finally landed with a crash in a completely different building, I sat up rubbing the back of my head. I blinked once. Twice.

"WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?!" I boomed jumping up, I went to make a move just as Aizawa's idiot voice came over the loud speaker

"The game is over, the blue team won. The red team's medic was killed by: Emiko Hayato"

"IM SORRY, WHAT?!" I shouted back into the silence
"ILL KILL HER, HOW DID SHE-DAMMIT"

Emiko Hayato POV:

I leaned against the tree under the shade as everybody started to make their way back to the main circle, the first on my team to make it back was Kirishima and Tokoyami. Kirishima ran toward me lifting me off the ground

"You did it!" He put me down and I gave him a side smirk, Tokoyami gave me an approving nod

"Nice work, I new we wouldn't regret counting on you and Bakugo. Speaking of, where is Bakugo? You guys split up?" I chuckled

"HEY!" Bakugo stormed over

"Speak of the devil" I said to the two in front of me

"WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!" I gave him my most innocent face

"I'm not sure what you're talking about Bakugo" he growled, glancing at the red headband that was still hanging from my belt loop

"WHAT- YOU THREW ME THROUGH THREE BUILDINGS AND STOLE MY WIN!" I smirked pushing myself off of the tree

"Sorry. You were in my way" I winked, he screamed and punched the tree that I was previously standing on

"I WILL NOT LOOSE TO YOU, YOU WAIT" he shouted as I walked away, Aizawa approached me

"You seem to have really gotten under Bakugo's skin" I raised my eyebrows

"Oh?" He nodded slightly

"Yes. The only person he's really had to compete with is Midoriya, now he's got you too"I cocked my head shoving my fists in my pocket

"You think I can compete with Bakugo?"

"I think you could graduate top of the class if you really wanted to, I was watching you the whole time. I've heard about you Emiko, where you came from. What you've been through..." I held my breath. He knows?
"I wanted to see all the skill that I'd heard about from the principal, I was scared that all the praise he gave you was for nothing" I looked away from him, chewing on the inside of my cheek. So the principal told them about me, huh?

"Then I saw you toss young Bakugo like it was nothing- the power behind your throw-"

"Can I ask where you're going with this?" I asked impatiently, I already knew where he was going. I'd had this talk many times before with my father, my first mentor and the one and only 'Number 1 Hero' himself. He and my father are related, I didn't see him much but the two times I did talk to him definitely left an impression. I noticed how quiet Aizawa was, he was watching me

"Your temper, you need to learn to control it. If your anger gets out of hand you'll end up really hurting somebody. If Bakugo wasn't as hard headed as he is, I would be scared for his well being. That's all, good job on your win. You may go" I placed the flag in his hand and turned on my heels walking away, Bakugo stepped in front of me blocking my path. I raised my head looking him in the eyes, I clenched my fists in my pockets

"We need to talk" he rasped, his eyes traveling to my arm. I looked down and remembered the burn, I pushed my arm behind me

"When and where?" He let out a breath

"I'll find you when I'm ready to talk" I nodded and he walked away, I bit my bottom lip running a hand over my face. Did he hear my conversation? Dammit he probably did, even if he did I still don't know what he'd want to talk about. The bell rang and it was time to leave, I was making my way back to the girls locker room when I was approached by Momo

"Hey Emiko! I'm holding a study group at my house tomorrow night, and since you're new and it's almost the end of the first semester I figured you'd wanna come. I'd love for you to" she smiled sweetly at me, I nodded opening my locker

"Sure, I'll come. Just text me your address" we exchanged numbers and she left me to change out of my uniform. As much as I tried to divert my mind to other things I couldn't help but think about what Bakugo needed to talk about, and it was honestly driving me crazy not knowing.
