"ENOUGH! The match is over!" I had just enough control to stop my self. My whole body twitched with anticipation. "Bakugo has stepped out of bounds."
We both looked down, he was on the edge of what was left of the arena, just out side the designated fight arena. 'No, not like this. This isn't a proper win.' I took a few breaths as the power faded and I fell to my knees exhausted. My battle instincts were on fire and I finally stood up looking up at the crowd, once again in silent horror. This time none of the heroes in the crowd need say anything.
I was a power to be feared instead of loved.
I stood straight and turned to leave the arena and await the awards ceremony. I had won, yet I wasn't the beloved hero of the sports festival.
Inside the tunnel stood All Might in his skinny form and Deku. "That was good. And don't worry you will win them over in time."
"Yeah, Fuma you did great, and what was that at the end?" Deku asked and I looked at the ground. "It was almost like you transformed or something."
"That... was... just..." I pushed past them, "I need to clear my head." 'I had broken my promise, I had used the one power that I couldn't fully control and had put everything at risk. Had that been a real fight with a villain, I would of lost control.' I found a bath room and washed my face over and over in the sink. 'Had she not called the end of the match... I would have killed him.'
Chapter 33: Awards and Frustrations
I stood silently on the pedestal, Bakugo on my right on the second place podium and Sero in third place, Iida had left before the bronze match. 'I hope his brother is okay.' Deku and Uraraka had filled me in on what had happened. "Fuma you have won your first sports festival, you should have your chin up." All Might went to place the gold medal around my neck. Once he stepped back I looked down at the gold medallion. He gave the silver and bronze medals to second and third place winners. "Dose our champion have anything to say?" All Might stepped back.
I took in a deep breath and pulled off the medal holding it in the palm of my hand. I raised it to the sky. "Who's next?" My voice boomed through the stadium. "Be it fellow student or evil villain, I will be looking forward to the next fight and training to get stronger." I looked up at the crowd, "Just watch me. I will be the greatest hero to ever walk this Earth." I knew that those words would have to be backed up with actions, and it may take years to prove that. But as I grimly looked up at the stadium I knew what I must do.
After that we walked out of the arena and I was met by Deku and I walked with him silently. "You okay?" He asked with a concerned look
"Yeah... I'm great... just fine..." I said but he wasn't convinced.
"Fuma…" He started.
"I nearly killed him... that power... it's called Ikari, the power of the great ape in my base form, I had locked it away long ago with training as I couldn't control it... the fact that it boiled to the surface... if I lose control again." I clenched my fists, my body shaking. 'Celron was right... I'm a waste of Saiyan blood.' I glared at the ground in fury with my self.
Then a pair of arms wrapped around me. "Fuma… I know that you won't. You are to strong for that to happen." Deku hugged me, his face a bright red as he looked away from me his face flustered.
Hesitantly I brought my arms up and hugged him back. "Th-thank you."
"FUMA! We aren't..." We separated as we stumbled back from Bakugo who had rounded the corner. "We aren't finished, you got that clear?!" Bakugo was furious, "I'll win next time Monkey Girl!"
"Kacchan…" Deku started but I put up my hand.
"Fine." I said as I stared him.
Soon after we made our way to our change rooms where I got into a pair of jeans and a sweater I had borrowed from Deku, All Might designed of course. Once that was done we made our way off school property and walked together, no where in particular at this time until my stomach growled. "Huh we kinda missed lunch did we?" Deku laughed. "What do you want to eat?" He asked.
I just shrugged, "You know the restaurants better then I do." I said. "So long as it's good. I don't really care."
We stopped by a ramen stand, and ordered a pair of large bowls of the food. As I sat next to Deku he went over his hero notes, and when he flipped to the page on me, he quickly edited in my Ikari power, but I looked at the sketch of me, detailed and a few words were scratched out. "Deku..." I said quietly as something came over me.
"Oh, what is it Fuma?" He asked as he realized what page it was on.
"Do... you..." I couldn't put it into words before the ramen was put in front of us. I hid the question by quickly starting my food. 'What is wrong with me? He isn't even the same species as me.' "Nevermind." I waved it off.
"Oh... okay." He said.
Soon after we said our goodbyes and I made my way to my apartment, alone. It felt colder then usual inside the small apartment. I stepped inside the shower trying to wash away this feeling that I didn't understand but it was like it was rooted in my chest. I skipped supper and laid down confused in my bed, all my blankets pulled over me, but I still felt cold. 'Is this normal?' I asked my self as I buried my face in my pillows, I didn't know what to do, or what this was.
I opened my phone and looked at my photos... All of them were of me and Deku. 'What is it about him?' I asked my self frustrated as I looked at that dorky, green haired, smiling fan boy. 'He's just a human. And I'm a Saiyan... we shouldn't even be friends.'
I flicked to the next photo, a photo of him getting flustered like so many times. 'What makes him so...' I couldn't put it into words.
'Should I call him?' I asked my self as I opened my contacts. My finger hovered over the button but I just turned the phone off and in the black reflection of the screen I saw me, 'Dose he feel the same strange way about me?'
Hello There. I'll try to get a second chapter done today as well.
