Kirishima POV:

"Are you sure you're gonna be okay, kid?"

"I'll be fine, Wars. It's just a nick anyways."

"Don't call me that."

"Okay. Sorry, sorry.. Wars." I laughed, earning a groan from Warrior.

Seeing that my shoulder was finished being wrapped up, I hop off the rock and give Wars a quick thank you before leaving.

In a way, Wars was a lot like Bakugo, he had the stubbornness to be him. And not to mention the soft side that they both would never admit they had.

But Wars was still no Bakugo, he just wasn't the same..

"Kiriiiii!!" I hear a squeal before my body was slammed to the ground.

"Hey! Wars just patched my shoulder, don't go ripping it open again!" I scold, laughing as I sit up.

"Oh sorry! But did you see me back there? I was like boom! Wham! Rah! Pew! Wasn't it cool? Oh! Oh! And when I set fire to one of the houses, and it went whoosh! And it was gone! Wasn't it cool, Kiri?" Kashi exclaimed, exaggerating her words with hand motions.

"Mhm! And then I was like blam! And knocked down the church with my head!" I giggle, pushing Kashi off my lap.

"I am still surprised you haven't gotten a concussion yet, Kirishima. What that, the seventh building you've destroyed with your head?" Itazura asked, standing behind Kashi.

"Yeah! You should try it sometime, you know, instead of looking around the gardens and chapels." I smirk.

"Shush your face before I do it for you." She growls, but I knew she was playing.

I lay back on the grass floor, breathing in the fresh spring air. It was lovely, I don't think I've ever had so much fun. Well, except for that time when I was in the gardens with Bakugo, and he let me chase a bu- no. Not him again.

"Isn't this great you guys? After all the humans have done to us, we finally get revenge. It's amazing! I feel so free!" Kashi said, laying beside me.

"Yeah, it feels great. It's nice to give back what they gave us. Fear."

"That's kinda dark Ita... I like it."

"Hm, didn't know Satan was so short.." I grin, knowing I'll get a reaction.

"Do you have a death wish?" Itazura seethed.

"No... I just have a wish for you to be that size for the rest of your life. Isn't it cool being what- four feet?"

"You son of a-"

Itazura jumps onto me, rolling through the grass. Laughing as she pinned me to the ground, it quickly turned to painful wheezes.

"I submit! I submit!" I yell, as my arm is pushed up in between my shoulder blades.

"You promise you're done?! No attacking after I let you go, right?" She screams back, pushing my arm up further.

"Yes! Yes I do!" I say, with a mixture of pain and laughing.

"Okay then.." Ita said, letting go of my arm and getting off my back.

"Ow.." I complain, rubbing my now sore arm as Kashi is struggling to contain a fit of giggles.

"You started it." Ita shrugged, smirking.

"Yeah, yeah." I wave off, brushing some grass off my head.

We lay back down, our heads in a circle as we watch the sky slowly get darker. I sigh, relaxing into the grass. It was so pleasant here, not much like the valley, but I still liked it.

"Hey Kiri?" Kashi asks out of the blue, almost startling me.

"Yeah Kash?"

"Can you tell me about your human friends again?"

"Oh.. sure. Which one do you want to hear about?"

"The Princess, you know? The one that like the tiny human toys?"

"You mean Eri?"

"Mhm. That one, I like her."

"Okay, Eri was always so fun. She threw the best tea parties and had the best sense of style. I remember this one time, she went and fetched me from her castles library and took me to a closet. And I got to wear this super pretty and poofy dress! It was pink, too.  And then I got to sit next to Fluffy, one of her stuffies. I like Fluffy.." I explain, Eri's tea parties were the best, but I wish I could go to just one more..

"Ohhh I wanna wear a dress!" Kashi blurted excitedly, rustling the grass around her.

"Are dresses comfortable?" Itazura asked.

"They are super comfy! And your legs get all warm but they feel really airy."

"I want to wear one.." Ita admits.

"Maybe in the next cluster we can find one, and you can try it on. Whattya think?"

"Yeah.. that sounds good."

"Oi! Ya hooligans! Come on, time to head to bed. We are gonna attack again tomorrow first thing in the morning! So come on!" Kenta yells from the tree line.

Scrambling to get up, I race over to Kenta, making it to him first. About time I be the faster one.

"Ha! I win! That makes it twenty seven to thirty!" I cheer, making Kashi look disappointed.

"Okay you doofs, let's go to bed now."

~time skip~

"We have to act natural. Like we are travelers that got sick or something, okay?"

"Tamaki, Kirishima, you will be our translators. Well.. more of Tamaki than anything." Kenta adds.

"I speak fine English, thank you very much." I cross my arms, pouting.

"Mhm, sure ya do kid. Anyways, the path leading to the cluster is just in front of us. And then we have to follow it for like thirty minutes or so to reach the cluster." Toyo explains, stepping over a branch.

Following Toyo's lead through the forest, we finally reach the main path. My nerves were in a bundle, and I was getting excited. Very excited.

These gave me thrill, some sense of life that I hadn't felt before. I feel so much more alive, like in my true nature.

After I opened up about my past to the others, they understood me better. And it helped convince them to lead these attacks. Even Warrior softened up a lot after hearing what Master had done.

The forest began to look faintly familiar the more we walked down the path. Maybe I had walked here before, or maybe flown?

"Hey Kiri look! There's cool sticks over here poking out of the ground!" Kashi said, tugging on my sleeve and pointing to the left.

"Woah! Cool!" I say, looking at the sticks she was talking about. They were pretty cool..

"Okay we are getting close, be prepared for social interaction!" Mirio said, I could tell he was also getting excited.

"I call breathing fire first!" I say, laughing.

"Aw no fair!"

"Guys, be serious." Warrior groans.

"Sorry, sorry!" I apologize, putting my hands up in defense.

"Sorry Wars."

"I told you to stop calling me that! It's annoying!"

"Guys! Focus, we are getting too close for arguments. I can see the front."

"Who's the sick child again? Is it Itazura this time?" Kenta asked, looking to me.

"Yup! I did it last time! So it's your turn Ita~" Kashi sang, answering Kenta for me.

"Cough, cough. Good enough?" Ita says sarcastically, wow what a joker.

"Itazura get in my arms and be limp, we got to make this convincing if we are gonna get in." Mirio orders, holding out his arms.

As Mirio carries the now limp Ita, we arrive to the gate. Why did this feel familiar as well?

"Tamaki, go on." Toyo whispers, barely being heard.

"Help! Please! My friends and I were traveling when our youngest got sick! Anyone please help!" Tamaki yelled out, I never knew he could be so loud..

"Someone fetch the doctor! I'll see to the child." One of the townsfolk said, rushing down from her doorstep. "I'm not a professional, but I may be of some assistance. May I see her?"

"Here," Tamaki says, stepping aside to reveal Toyo.

The towns person take one good look at her before ushering her inside her home. I almost felt bad for what was about to happen.

Giving a nod to the others, they smile and grin as the townsperson was focused on Ita. Her house was far from big, barely fitting all of us in our human forms.

Feeling the familiar tingle of my limbs growing, and my hearing and smelling become clearer. I knew I was a dragon again..

Looking down, the house we were once standing in was demolished, and the kind lady was nothing but a blood splatter seeping from under the rubble.

Roaring in union, screams began echoing throughout the whole cluster. Why was this place still familiar?

We spread out, and I begin shooting flames into the sky and on rooftops. Spinning mid flight, I speed down the streets.

Stopping at a corner, I crouch low, creeping around the streets, awaiting another victim. Why did these streets feel like I've walked them before?

Looking down the next block, one person in particular catches my eye..

A familiar blonde..

oooooooomg. this chapter brooo it had me stressing. idek why..
