Hi I'm back, sorry for just disappearing, my charger broke for my computer, my grandfather is doing a lot better and I have a few ideas for this story. I have started a new diet, as well as going to the gym a few times a week.
Home. I still wasn't sure which was home now. Here with Kiri, or back on Remnant. 'I can't just leave them again. But I can't just turn away from my friends here. Wiess would know what to do, she always did.' I wiped a tear from my eye, or was it just water I couldn't tell.
Chapter 46: The Camp Burns Part 1
I sat at the table with my class, no my friends as we finished supper. I cleared my plate as I leaned back. "This is so nice." I stretched my arms as I fell onto the ground.
"Well after you guy's clean up we have a surprise for you guys." Ragdoll announced.
"Surprise?" Mina asked.
"Yes, you are going to meet us down in that clearing over there." Mandalay said as I sat up in the dirt. We all set about cleaning up the tables and washing the dishes. I zipped between the wash tubs and the tables carrying plates and cutlery.
I placed the last of the plates in the water for Izuku to wash as I grabbed a rag to dry the dishes.
"I think you should ask Uraraka out." I whisper to him. I knew exactly how he would react.
"Uh what! No I mean..." He face flushed a bright red. I giggled at the green haired boy's distress.
"It's clear you like her, and besides... I think she like you too." Pyrrha said as she walked past. "Don't make the same mistake as me." She smiled down at Deku.
"It'll never happen." Bakugo smirked as he walked past. "He doesn't have the balls to do it."
"Hey what you guy's talking about?" Uraraka asked as she walked over.
"Oh uh nothing." Deku dodged the question.
"Oh okay." Uraraka left and Pyrrha Bakugo a stack of cash.
"You win this time." She smiled.
"Looks like your useful for something nerd, pay up Red." I rolled my eyes as I slapped the cash in his hand.
"You took bets!" He whispered yelled.
"You wanted to try Pyrrha's workout, well your getting it. She maybe smiling but Mystralians always get their money's worth." I sighed as I dried the dishes.
I sat on Kiri's shoulder's as we waited for the surprise. "You lose the bet?" He asked.
"Yep, but now I need to get those two together to get Mina off our back." I ruffled his hair.
"You can't force it." He smiled up at me.
"I know." I dropped down and looked over the other students. "I'm just looking at the two and neither one can admit how they feel."
"I don't know how you girls can just tell that from looking at them." He scoffed. "To me they just seem like friends."
"Woman's intuition." I smiled.
"The same intuition that blew up in your face the other day?" He asked.
"That was a blacksmith's intuition." I turned from him with a huff but all he did was laugh.
"Of course, of course, sorry I doubted you." he messed my hair as he smiled with his goofy grin.
"Sure thing, just one thing first." I said.
"Oh and that is?" I grabbed his hand and pulled his arm over my shoulder.
"Be the strongest man you can be." I closed my eyes with a sigh. "And that'll be enough for me."
"Of course Petals." He hugged me tighter.
"CUT THE LOVEY DOVEY CRAP!" Bakugo faked gagging as he smacked our heads together.
"Hey, they were being cute." Uraraka complained as she contained her laughter.
"They were being cute. Blegh, Had I known he'd get like this I would have killed him the first day we met." Bakugo cracked his neck as walked of, "Even the damn nerd isn't that annoying."
"Students gather round." The teachers explained how the game would work, Class 1-B would try to scare our class as we would walk in pairs, the more and louder we screamed the more points they would get. And the more time we yelled the more points we lost.
"Oh it's a Grimm trail, dad would set this up for the kids on patch." I said. "I enjoyed that so much, I scared so many kids."
"I'm not surprised about that." Kiri just shook his head remembering our first hero class.
We waited our turn and as we walked out into the woods I kept an eye out for Class 1-B. "Keep an eye on trees and bushes. " I said as I took a breath in through my nose and I frozen to the spot.
"Ruby what is it?" He asked.
"Poisonous gas." I said as my head snapped side to side looking for the source, then another smell hit me, another smell reached me, one all to familiar and brought up horrible memories.
The smell of soot. I looked up and saw the massive blue inferno raging towards us. "We got to run!" Kiri yelled as we took off down the trail as the pillar of flame burned trough the damp foliage filling the air with more fumes making it harder to breath.
"You know what little Red?" I spun around to look at Torchwick and another man who wore a outfit just as gaudy in taste. The orange of his suit assaulting my eyes through the haze, both wore masks, obviously to keep the gasses out, "I may have a better use for you then just killing you and being done with it." He swung his cane at my head but Kiri intercepted the swing but the other man got past him and just tapped me and everything became blue.
And this chapter is completed.
