Jirou came down from the stage. Once she reached for the table, she encountered Kaminari staring at her, his face was one of amazed, of shock. He would be brought back to the world of the living by Kyoka.

Kaminari: Kyoka...that was- Ouch!!! Hey!?- She punched him in the shoulder.

Jirou: You have a lot of explaining to do, Pikachu.- She said a little blushed, trying to fake a serious face.

They both sat down at their table, Jirou crossed her arms, waiting for Kaminari to start spilling out.

Kaminari: So, what do you want to know?

Jirou: There are things you're not telling me. Why do people here seem to know you? Since when do you perform like that? What is your relationship with this place?- She was filled with questions.

Kaminari: Well, the thing is...I work here.

Jirou: Since when?

Kaminari: About two months. Have you ever wondered why I disappeared every Saturday for the past two months?- He asked.

Jirou: I thought you were on your mom's. You know, since she is a Pro-hero and stuff, she is always busy.

Kaminari: Well, that's true to some point. The thing is one day I came here on my own and turned out to be Karaoke night. One thing led to another and the manager hired me as a performer every Saturday for a couple of songs of my choosing.

Jirou: *Sigh* I can't believe it.

Kaminari: What?

Jirou: Denki Kaminari is not only a better hero than me, now he even has a better head-start in a music career than me.- She said sarcastically, trying to emulate a tone of disappointment in herself.

Kaminari: *chuckles* Don't say that Jirou. I would never be half of a musician you are.- He said trying to cheer her up.

Jirou: Yeah, right.

Kaminari: I mean it, you are the hero Earphone Jack, the one who faced the mighty All-For-One and lived to tell the tale.

Jirou: *chuckles* And I was only using 5% of my power, I was just playing with him.- At this point, they were just joking around, she truly missed this moments with Kaminari.

Kaminari: Seriously what was the deal with that dude? He looked like a testicle with teeth. 

Jirou: He looked like an avocado, had sex with an older more disgusting avocado, and it wasn't a normal fuck it was like hate fucking. And it seems like this was the only catharsis they had.

Kaminari: *chuckles* He looked like Freddy Krueger face-fucked a topographical map of Utah.

Jirou: *giggles*- Her cheeks turned pink after hearing his last joke, accompanied by a nice smile.

Kaminari: What?

Jirou: I can't fucking believe it, you are Deadpool. Your personalities are a match.

Kaminari: Hahahaha you really think so?

Jirou: I mean, if Deadpool was more useless...- She liked getting on his nerves.

Kaminari: Oh come on Jirou quit messing with me.

Jirou: Hahahaha...I missed this...- She said gently.

Kaminari: What?- He said.

Jirou: *chuckles* Do they speak English in "What"?

Kaminari: Jirou...- He groaned, she was pushing his buttons.

Jirou: This moron...I missed this, you and me...having a good time.- Her cheeks were burning at this point, and her eyes glowed that purple gaze once again

Kaminari: I missed it too.- Kaminari gained courage from God knows where, and gently stroked the girl's hand on the table. Letting her know that he was there for her.

They spent a couple of hours in the bar, the only thing they did after their performances was just chatting and drinking, but that was all that they needed. Kaminari talked about his new ability with Jirou. Kyoka mentioned that Panic! at the Disco was coming to town in October and that they should buy tickets to the concert. After a while, they decided to leave the place, it was getting late for them. Kaminari waved to his co-workers letting them know they were leaving.

It was around 11:10 p.m. Their date was a complete success, They were walking down a little street close to U.A. Jirou was holding the little Pikachu Kaminari gave her, holding to it tight. The streets were empty, it was late so it was normal. The night became a little cold, too bad Jirou didn't bring a jacket. Denki took notice of this and gave her his lumberjack shirt, putting it gently over her shoulders.

Kaminari: There.- He said placing it over her.

Jirou: T-Thanks...- Her face lighted up. Every time Kaminari acted like a gentleman was another nail in Kyoka's heart. Was it possible to fall even more in love with him?

One establishment was still open, and bright lights shined upon the street, a convenience store/pharmacy.

Jirou: Let's go there, I need to buy some stuff.

Kaminari: Okay.- They both entered the place, they were the only customers there. The old man behind the counter greeted them.

Kaminari: So, what do you need?- He asked while they walked down the aisle.

Jirou: A couple of snacks, Coke, and some girl's stuff.

Kaminari: Girl stuff like in "Period" stuff?- He asked a little confused.

Jirou: Girl stuff like in "None of you business" stuff.- She answered sarcastically. 

Kaminari: Hehe, well. While you do that I'll go to the next aisle and see some stuff.- He said a little nervous while separating from his date.

Jirou walked down the aisle she was in, looking for something in particular while she grabbed the 2 Liter Coke and some snacks and put them into a plastic bag. She seemed a little nervous for some reason.

At the same time, Kaminari was walking down the other aisle, looking at every item on the shelves. Until something caught his attention, something that instantly made his face burn red just by looking at it. Jirou too found the item she was searching for, and she blushed just like the boy she was with. They both looked directly at the two little boxes that were in front of them

-Should I?- They both thought at the same time.

Kaminari: Condoms...

Jirou: Plan B pills...

-No I can't, what's she gonna think if she sees this in my hand? She would probably kick my ass- Kaminari said to himself. Little did he know she was having a similar dilemma.

-Should I do it? I mean if he doesn't see the name on the box he would think I'm buying just medicine, that's all...But, I really want this. I want this to happen.- Her face was red but she was determined. She wanted to do this with him, even if that meant she would have to risk it all and take the initiative.

Jirou took the box and placed it in the plastic bag with the rest of the stuff she was buying. She made sure to place the box at the bottom of the bag and go pay quickly while Kaminari was still distracted. But that plan was about to be frustrated.

*BANG* *Broken crystal*

A loud sound filled the place, someone barged into the establishment, Kaminari and Jirou reacted quickly and ran to the back of the aisle, meeting at the end while taking cover and facing each other. They could only hear some loud steps, the scared voice of the poor old man behind the register, and a loud and beast-like breathing.

?: Quickly old man, give me everything you have. I don't have all night.- The strange raspy voice said, he sounded very intimidating.

Old man: Please, don't hurt me. Just take the money.

Jirou: Do you see something?- She whispered.

Kaminari: No, let me take a look.- He said whispering too, Denki leaned his head to take a look at the criminal.

A large Bull-like mutant quirk user. He was about 2 meters tall, very bulky, and with nothing on but a pair of ripped jeans. Two huge and pointy horns emerged from the head of the villain that was assaulting the place. And the fact the beast-man was all covered in scars didn't help to make him seem less threatening.

Name: Tsuno Buru.

Villain Name: Taurus.

Quirk: Bull.

He can do a bull charge that can deal great amounts of damage to either structures or people. His huge horns can sharpen themselves and his musculature resembles that of a bull in all its aspects. Counting form, resistance, and power.

Kaminari: He's huge, we should do a surprise attack.

Jirou: I'll distract him, you charge onto him.

Kaminari: Roger.- He said with his thumb up and smiling.

Jirou: Ready to kick some ass?

Kaminari: Always.

Jirou extended her left earphone jack all across the aisle until she reached the end of it. She then proceeded to push some bottles of shampoo and other stuff onto the floor, making the Bull-like man turn and see what was that sound behind him.

Buru: What was that? Is anyone here old man?- The villain didn't have enough time to process when he saw a blinding bolt of lightning coming towards him.

Kaminari: Thundergod: Godspeed Kaminari!!!- He shouted, charging into the big monster. 

Even though Kaminari was many times lighter and smaller, simple physics tells us that with huge velocity, the mass of an object could generate great amounts of force upon impact with another object. That made it possible for Kaminari to tackle the huge criminal, launching him out of the store, and breaking the whole front entrance.

Jirou rushed to the old man to see if he was okay. Luckily he wasn't injured at all, Kyoka stood up and went outside to see Denki fighting with the villain. Dodging his attacks with relative ease.

Buru: Fucking brat, stay still so I can punch you.

Kaminari: Not in a million years, cow face.- He said mocking the big beast, until Jirou snuck up behind the criminal and stunned him with her quirk. She let out a huge soundwave through her cords and into her jacks. That was enough to make the villain stop, lying on the street asphalt with a huge amount of pain.

Kaminari: Hey! I was having fun with him.

Jirou: You are too slow, Chargebolt.- She said with a smirk on her face.

Kaminari: Is the cashier okay?- He asked, standing on top of the villain to make sure the beast was immobilized.

Jirou: Yeah, but let me check out on him again.- Kyoka rushed back to the store, finding the old man holding her bag.

Old man: Here dear, thank you. You saved my life and my store.

Jirou: Not need to worry sir, we are heroes. It's our job.

Old man: Here, take your things, it's on the house.

Jirou: No sir I can't take it like that.- She said a little nervous. Did the little old man see what was inside the bag?

Old man: Please, it's the least I can do for you two. Take it.- The man said stretching his arm with the bag to the girl.

Jirou: T-Thanks...- She grabbed the bag and went outside. Police sirens could be heard and approaching. She saw Kaminari talking to the police officers questioning him. And the SWAT Team taking care of the criminal.

Police Officer: Thank you, young man, you two did a great job today. We will take it from here.

Kaminari: Thanks Officer.

Jirou: They arrived quickly.- She remarked.

Kaminari: Yeah, good thing they were close.

Then, a couple of vans arrived at the scene, it was the Media. Jirou wasn't too kind to the Media when it came to her hero work. Especially a certain type of news crew who are more interested in showbiz and sensationalism than their actual hero work and stories. And she recognized the logo on one of the news Vans, exactly the kind of reporters she likes to avoid.

Jirou: *groans*

Kaminari: What's wrong?- He turned his head to see in the direction she was looking. He too recognized the logo on the Van.

Kaminari: Hop in.- He said lowering his body and giving her a sign that insinuated for her to hop on his back.

Jirou: W-What?- Kyoka blushed at his gesture.

Kaminari: Trust me, we are going to leave them behind before they can see us.- Jirou was hesitant but she climbed onto his back and held on tightly.- Alright, here we go.

Kaminari clenched his muscles and in a blink of an eye, he took off with Jirou on his back. A trail of electricity and lightning bolts was all that was left on the place they were standing. Denki stopped a couple of blocks ahead. Jirou climbed down his back a little dizzy but laughing.

Jirou: *giggles* That was awesome Kaminari.

Kaminari: It is, isn't it?

Jirou: But I bet you still gonna arrive late to class. With or without that ability.- She said with a sarcastic smirk.

Kaminari: We'll see about that hahaha.

Jirou: Hahaha yeah...Hey- She said lowering her voice and looking down, so he couldn't see her blush.

Kaminari: What is it?

Jirou: I had fun tonight...We should repeat it...

Kaminari: Yeah...we should...-He too was blushing.- You know...we are not far from U.A. We could walk from here.

Jirou: Yes, we could...- She was looking straight into his eyes. The neon glow in her eyes was even more notorious in the dark of the night. It was like a lighthouse that was designed to guide Kaminari into safe port in her heart.

She extended her arm forward, holding it in front of him on hip level. It was a gesture, a gesture that clearly said "Take my hand". She was offering it to him, she wanted to walk back to U.A. with him while holding hands. He blushed at her gesture but he didn't wanted to lose any time. His hand slowly moved forward, ready to meet hers.

Jirou: Denki...-She said in an even lower voice, and as if they were going to leave her breathless.

Kaminari: Kyoka...- But he was cut off. Before she could think, a big brown blur passed in front of her.

By the time she managed to figure out what was happening, she found Kaminari lying on the ground, the villain charged into him with all his force. It seems he managed to escape the police's custody. She was in shock, her face turned pale and her whole body started to tremble, with shivers coming down her spine.

Jirou: KAMINARI!!!!- She rushed to him and kneeled alongside his body.

Kaminari was very beaten, his face was filled with cuts and bruises. And worst of all, blood was dripping down from his ears. He didn't respond to her, and that scared the shit out of her out of anything. Kyoka turned her head upwards to meet the villain who was a couple of meters in front. He turned just his head and said.

Buru: I told you not to mess with me, kid.- That was the only thing he said before running out of sight. Police sirens could be heard from the distance. 

Jirou returned her attention back to Kaminari. She was holding him in her arms, somehow one of the best nights of her life turned into a nightmare...one of her worst nightmares. Remember the night she suffered from sleep paralysis? The thing you don't know is that the nightmare she was having was one where All-For-One killed Kaminari in cold blood and she was holding his dead body in her arms while the Demon Lord was approaching them.

-NO, get away from him.-

The memory of that nightmare resounded in her head, but now it was real, that gruesome scene was real. Denki was unconscious, he was breathing and with a pulse, but his pulse was slowly getting weaker and his eyes started to close bit by bit. Kyoka could feel like the love of her life was leaving her in front of her eyes. Before she could realize it, she was in a little pool of blood, Denki's blood.

Jirou: No no no no no...- Her whole body was numb and her hands were shaking.

Kaminari tried to say something but the brain concussion was too heavy, he could only spill a couple of unintelligible sounds. He could even feel his eyelids get heavier by the second, It was only a matter of seconds before he lost full consciousness.

Jirou: Ka...Kaminari!!! Wake up, please!!! Kaminari!!! Don't leave me I beg you. Kaminari!!!- It was futile, he was losing his grip on reality, and he needed urgent medical attention.

Tears came down her face, landing on his cheeks. The glow in her eyes slowly started to fade away...She felt like her whole world just came down, crumbling into pieces. 

He was gone, completely knocked out. Jirou tried everything she could to keep him awake, with the fear of him not waking up anymore. A couple of police cars and an ambulance arrived at the scene. The paramedics rushed to them, grabbed Kaminari, put him on a gurney, and took him into the ambulance.

Paramedic: Are you with him?- The female paramedic asked Kyoka, also trying to see if the girl was also injured or in need of medical attention.

Jirou: I'm...I'm his d-date.- She answered quickly.

Paramedic: Are you hurt?

Jirou: N-no...

Paramedic: Come with us.

Jirou: Is h-he gonna be okay?- Kyoka was once again on the verge of tears.

Paramedic: If we go quickly, he will. Come on miss, we must hurry.

Jirou hopped in the back of the ambulance and the first thing she did was grab Kaminari's hand while the paramedic team tried running a quick check on his status.

Paramedic 2: You two are U.A. students right?

Jirou: Y-Yes...

Paramedic 2: Is there someone you need to contact?

Jirou: Our t-teacher...Mr. Aizawa.

Paramedic 2: Call him and tell him we are on our way to the Central Hospital.

Jirou: Okay...

Kyoka pulled out her phone. She realized how nervous she was when she struggled to use her touch-screen while her fingers were shaking uncontrollably. But she managed to call Aizawa Sensei.

[U.A. Dorms, Aizawa's room,  11:50 p.m.]

*Ring* ring* ring*

Aizawa: *groans* Who the fuck calls at this hour?- He said sitting on the side of his bed reaching for his phone on the nightstand, completely naked.

Ms. Joke: Could you just answer the damn phone?- She said covering her head with the bedsheets. Also completely naked. Why was Ms. Joke sleeping fully nude in Aizawa's bed? And why was he fully naked too...? You get the idea.

Aizawa: Hello?

Jirou: *sobbing* Mr. Aizawa...

Aizawa: Jirou? What happened? Is everything okay?

Jirou: *sobbing* Kaminari...he's bad...we are going to the C-Central Hospital...

Aizawa: What happened? Don't worry kid, I'm on my way. Don't leave his side.

Jirou: *sobbing* Sensei...is my fault...I don't want him to go...Please, I'm afraid.

Aizawa: Don't worry Jirou. I'll meet you there, calm down and stay strong.

*hangs up*

Ms. Joke: What happened? Is something wrong?- She asked, with a worried face painted on her, while looking at Aizawa.

Aizawa: I'm afraid so.- He said putting some clothes on and rushing to the door rapidly.

...

Jirou stared at the blonde boy in front of her...she was scared, pretty fucking scared. And for the first time, she couldn't find shelter in Kaminari's arms, the only place she felt completely safe.

Jirou: *crying* It's all my fault...

To be continued.
