I waited for school to end so I could tell Bakugou what happened and my future plans about it. I couldn't really stay in Japan anymore. I needed to go somewhere and understand my new development of hurting people through my quirk.
I paced back and forth in my room, collecting my thoughts on what to tell him. "I have to tell him that I'm leaving the country because a new development of my quirk, I might be someone's new target since I literally attacked someone and uncovered their true form… Oh god, I don't know." I did breathing techniques to calm myself down. It hurts me more to leave him again, but it won't be too long. I hope to come back within a year or so, but that means I'm leaving everyone behind: my family, friends, teachers, and Bakugou.
Picking up the phone I had to discuss with Grams to make sure she understood my position and why I'm doing what I'm doing. "Hey Grams, I have to tell you something… and I want to know what you think of my action." I explained her my thought process. "I don't want it to sound like I'm running away… I just want to keep myself and others protected after the event because who knows what will happen if I stay here. I will cause more trouble than anyone needed-" Grams cut me off, so she could put her input because she knew I would ramble off about other things.
"Dear… Do what you think is best for you. Don't let others influence on what you want to do. If you think it's best to leave the country, then go ahead. I'm not going to stop, I'm going to help you because you were exposed to a dangerous situation. We don't know if the impersonator wanted to kidnap you or bring your into greater harm, but what you suggest is the finest decision and I will support it. If anything Bakugou would want the best for you and your safety. It would hurt him more if something were to happen to you." Grams was pointing out things that my brain couldn't think of because I had a lot of things going in and out of my mind. I wished I thought of that too when I was thinking.
"Yes, you're right. This is my choice to leave to protect myself and the others. I just need to know where I'm going…" I chuckled. I couldn't leave Japan without having a final destination to go to. "Do we have any relatives out of the country? Or are we going to ask Aunt Nina to take a year long vacation with me?" I could imagine paradise in my head, going to a tropical island and having the time of my life there. I'll be slipping juice, watching the clear blue ocean as a year passby, then I'd be back home.
"If Nina doesn't say anything, then I have some people I know who can watch over you as you do online schooling from abroad." I heard her shifting through papers in the background.
"Okay, just keep me updated! They should be coming in the dorm anytime soon. Bye, Grams." After ending the call, I clicked on the home button to go on my message app. I scrolled through my messages to click on Bakugou's icon. I texted him to come to my room once he was home, and I said it was urgent so he can't ignore that.
"You called?" Bakugou opened the door, standing underneath the doorway. He was still dressed in his uniform, making me think he rushed to me first than changing. At least he knew that it was urgent because if I didn't say that, he would've taken his sweet ass time trying to get out of his uniform to annoy the heck out of me as he explained why it took him more than ten minutes to change and walk to my room.
"Come sit." I patted right next to me on my bed. "It's about what happened yesterday, and I don't want you to overreact and tell me that you can protect me from this… I just want to prevent anything from sprouting if I…." I had to say the word or else it wouldn't make sense if I avoided it. "...leave the country." I quickly turned and placed my hands on his shoulders, so he wouldn't explode on me. "Please listen to what I have to say."
There was a tough silence in the air, and it was coming from Bakugou. Five minutes passed and he still didn't say a word which made me believe that he was upset. "Can you say something? I feel like you're upset right now because you're not saying a word." I tried peering into his face but he wouldn't make direct eye contact with me. "Katsuki?" I moved my face to kiss his lips. "Say something or else I'm literally going to cry." I kissed him one last time.
Then his ruby eyes finally looked at me. "I know a lot has happened this year… and you've encountered death. I really don't want you to leave, but if you really want to then go." His voice was strained. He wasn't trying to raise his voice and rage, Bakugou was talking very calmly, acknowledging my feelings. "I won't know what to do without you here, like of course we can video call, but not having you physically here is going to take awhile to get used to. Long distance is going to be rough but I could care less because I care that you're safe. If you believe that staying here will cause more events soon, go and be safe at your new destination. I don't want to lose you again if I'm not able to save you." Bakugou leaned in closer to me, one hand caressing my face and the other holding my hand.
It was still weird to see different sides of Bakugou because he's mainly mad and wants to start violent things. "Gosh…" I turned my head away. My eyes were getting hot and sensitive from how caring he's acting right now. "You never stop to amaze me…!" I chuckled, as tears dropped my from eyes. "You need to show this side of you more often." I stared back at him, wiping my red eyes with a smile. "I'm glad that you're understanding. I was really scared that you would see my decision as something stupid, but I guess you've also grown too. I appreciate your support for me. I love you!" Pulling him into a hug, I wanted to embrace him before I leave. "Call me every single day…" I broke into more tears as the realization of me leaving hurts me a lot. I was going to be living in a foreign place for a whole year, and I didn't know who was going to be my guardian.
Bakugou tightened his hold onto me, inhaling deeply and never letting go of me. "I will call you everyday, I will tell you how much I love and miss you… I will do anything to make you feel better, so you don't have to feel sad or lonely again. I'll be by your side even if it's not physically. I love you a lot."
A few days later, everyone knew that I was leaving. I had my luggage in my hand as everyone I loved and knew waved goodbye to me. I walked out of the school lot with red eyes. It broke my heart that I made so many new friends and now I have to leave them. "I'll be back…! I love you guys!"
I stared at my ticket in my hand and took a deep breath. "This is for me…"
"Rina, are you ready?" Aunt Nina was smiling at me. She was going to watch over me for the time being.
"Yeah…"
