True Summary: Two girls transport into a magical world where they learn the harsh reality of discrimination, the beauty of magic, and the pains that come with love. With the danger of demons hovering over them, how long will the peace stay among the humans? Watch as Nari chains her fate with Hotaru, her best friend, and how their destiny cascades down to their two new teammates, Miyuki and Shindo - all to fight against a villain not yet known to them. (Nari x Miyuki) (Hotaru x Shindo)

So the only elements that we use from BNHA and DnA are the two characters and their respective personalities: Shindo Yoh and Miyuki Kazuya. I am using Yoh, instead of Yo because if you look at the kanji and furigana of his name, it should be technically You; but since You looks weird, I decided to change it to Yoh instead.

Other than that, everything is original and has nothing to do with the plots of those two animes. If you're not fond of clichés or original stories, then don't read any further.

This is a personal COMPLETE project with my friend (ArashiYuki13) who acted as a co-writer of sorts, but this story was mostly for me to satisfy my inner muse in wanting to write cliché romances and lightly hitting upon some social issues. I tried to use names from various cultures, but I don't know if I did a good job with that…

Anyways, I won't apologize either way if this story isn't to your tastes. So again, if you don't like it, don't read and don't comment. Keep your hate to yourself. :) I do love writer feedback, such as how to improve my writing, or comments about the characters or even the situations happening in the story though. I also love answering any questions you might have, even if it's minor or speculative. :D

And if you happen to see one of the placeholder names, please let me know, so that I can fix it.

Oh and again, no flames please! Thank you~!

Since 10,000 B.C., there were two types of creatures that lived on Terra: humans and demons.

Humans had the ability to fight and purify demons with their magic, while demons had supernatural strength and power to attack humans.

A long war went on actively and continues to this day as mere cold tension, but peace was achieved by the win of the crusaders against the demon king a few decades ago.

As one of the laws in the demon lands, if someone won against the demon ruler, the demon ruler and their people must not attack the winner and their people until the winner passes away. This was strictly seen by the demon king himself. Anyone who went against it would perish by his hands.

Because of such a rule, the crusaders knew that the peace would not last long - compared to what the human rulers believed, so now - to prepare for the future, one of those crusaders opened a school for any with high magic potential. Others scattered around the land, living out their life peacefully while passing their knowledge and skills to their children or students.

In this magical school, the schooling usually takes four years to complete and people are divided into classes by their power output from A being the highest to F being the lowest. There are 3 classes that they are required to take: history, magical theory, and combat magic. However, they are also recommended to take: healing, physical combat, and defense magic. They can only graduate after taking two written exams and one practical exam.

Anyways, two girls - who are friends - in another world transported into Terra, getting adopted by kind people, adapting to the world and its rules, and keeping up with the normal kids around them. One girl, Hotaru, is technically the same age as those in their first year of high school, but she was allowed to skip a grade, while the other girl, Nari, is in her second year of high school.

And this is where the story begins.

"Nari, are you sleeping again?" Hotaru pouted as she poked her friend on the arm. "Wake up! I want to get lunch! This food baby isn't gonna impregnate itself!"

"..." Nari kept her head down without any sign of movement.

A tall lean male with shaggy black hair approached them. His polite smile lowered her guard for a moment. "I don't think you should wake her. It wouldn't do you any good anyways to be around someone of her caliber at the level you are at, don't you think, Hotaru-san?"

Her eyebrow twitched at his words. She smiled brightly at him, despite the irritation leaking out of her voice quite obviously. "I don't think you get to decide who my friends are. And she's not weak."

"She isn't weak, but she's very average. And you're an elite." He commented very lightly without a break in his smile.

She could not go against his words since it was a fact. "Even so, Shindo-san, is magic power everything to a person? If it is in your eyes, then you are truly missing out on a lot. She's my best friend. I can choose who I want to hang out with."

"Oi, Shindo. Why do you always have to fight with that girl?" Another male with messy and windswept brown hair who is taller than Shindo interrupted her with a mocking smirk. "Seems like a waste of energy." He fidgeted with his glasses for a second.

"Pick on someone your own size, Miyuki-san!" She glared at the two. In that moment, Nari groggily woke up and rubbed her eyes.

"Hotaru-chan… Why is it so loud?" She stretched her arms and dragged her away from the two, not even acknowledging their existences. "Let's go eat something tasty."

"Bu-but they were-"

"Ignore them. Let them keep the stick of their ego up their butt." She shrugged and lazily opened the door to leave. Hotaru pouted in response. "Anyways, I'm really not looking forward to this whole group assignment thing and having to live with them…"

"At least, we don't have to do any chores!" Hotaru's eyes sparkled at the idea. "And single rooms!"

Nari groaned. "I hate this."

"Oh c'mon! It'll be fun!"

"What if we end up with those two." Nari pointed out before pausing. "Oh wait, that won't happen since I'm average." She finally smiled brightly.

"Why does that make you so happy…" Hotaru sighed.

Nari gathered her books into her bag and walked out of the Healing class. Today was particularly interesting since they discussed about the major arteries of both humans and demons, along with the differences in their DNA.

She stood in front of the locker room silently, hoping that the combat magic class would take it easy for today, but then again, she always had terrible luck, so it would probably be an intense session instead. Resigning to her fate, she walked in to change out of her clothes.

"At least, I'm done with history and magical theory…" She muttered under her breath. This was her last attempt in trying to comfort herself for the combat magic class. Unfortunately, most students placed high importance in this class in regards to someone's informal ranking and position in the student population. The elites were considered to be the best combat magic users in their year; for her year, it was Shindo, Miyuki, and Hotaru.

Pulling the shirt over her, she mildly wished that she was back in the healing class. While it sucked that her best friend decided to take defense magic instead, she was at least away from the other two elites, especially since they took physical combat as their optional class.

By the time she stood in line, she dreaded everything. "TODAY, FOR CLASS, WE'LL BE HOLDING PRACTICAL BATTLES. THE PERSON ON YOUR RIGHT WILL BE YOUR PARTNER FOR TODAY." It was official. She really did have the worst luck ever. She stopped herself from groaning. She took a peek at who it was and wanted to go drown herself already.

A bright red haired girl with red fingernails and pale white skin stood tall, sniffing into the air indignantly next to her. She was considered to be one of the best at combat magic users, but failed to defeat or even tie with Hotaru, so was considered to be the sub-elite instead. Her ruthless way of combat and the way she flaunts her arrogance landed on Nari's 'MUST AVOID' list. Nari sighed again to herself. "Maybe I should have made a will and everything beforehand…"

Shindo and Miyuki heard her sighs. They glanced over at her and shook their heads before walking over to their assigned partners. Hotaru sent her an apologetic look that she completely did not see, due to her inward lamentation about her current situation. "Well… Time to get this over with."

"WHEN I SAY BEGIN, YOU WILL START." The combat magic teacher, Jin-Ae Park, yelled out. Everyone stood in their positions with their focus on their opponents.

"READY." Nari put her hands in front of her in defense position.

"I'm going to bite the dust off of you, girl." The sub-elite, Mariana, sneered.

"BEGIN!" Within seconds, the barrier that Nari had up exploded from Mariana's powerful fire magic bullet and she flew to the other side of the field. The teacher managed to set up a magic net before she crash landed on the ground.

"Ice and fire…are definitely not a good mix." Nari groaned from the pain as she heard the snickers and laughter of the other students. She heard Hotaru calling out her name from afar before blacking out.

Sending Nari an apologetic look, Hotaru glanced over to her right. Kevin gave her a flirtatious grin. His messy syrupy hair jostled as he waved at her upon catching her eyes. His charming honey amber eyes twinkled. "Go easy on me, will you, Hotaru-san," he said, adding a wink.

"Well, I can't promise anything." She gave him an amiable smile. Her attention was elsewhere as they took their places - Shindo Yoh.

From where she was standing - on purpose - she could see him. The moment he looked over to her, she flinched and glanced away immediately.

"WHEN I SAY BEGIN, YOU WILL START." The teacher yelled out.

Her face felt as if it was on fire.

Slapping her cheeks, her eyes flashed up with determination; her face scrunched up. She had to focus. 'What am I doing?'

Kevin blinked at her.

"READY."

Taking her stance, she kept her eyes only on her opponent.

"BEGIN!"

Swiftly, she swiped her bell. Kevin defended himself by immediately conjuring up a barrier.

"Argh-" He skidded back due to force of the air that ruthlessly pushed him and his barrier back.

Just as she was about to make another swipe, she saw Nari flying across the field. "NARI-CHAN!"

"REMEMBER THAT THIS COMPETITION IS VERY IMPORTANT. THE TOP WINNERS WILL BE ABLE TO LIVE IN THE VILLA AND ARE EXCUSED FROM THEORETICAL AND HISTORY CLASSES FOR A SEMESTER AS A PRIZE. NOT TO MENTION, YOU ARE GIVEN FREE ACCESS TO THE TOWNS AND CITIES WITHOUT NEEDING TO TELL THE AUTHORITIES." The vice principal's voice boomed across the room.

As they named off each team, Nari stared at the sky without any hint of attention. When Hotaru shook her shoulder, she glanced at her questioningly. "Well, you didn't get your wish."

"Huh?" Nari blinked.

Hotaru laughed sheepishly at her. "The good thing is that you're stuck with me… That bad news is that we ended up with the two who have sticks of ego up their butts."

"AUGH." Nari grabbed at her hair and groaned. "How can this happen… Just how bad is my luck for it to end up like this."

Hotaru patted her shoulder. "It'll be okay. It won't be too bad."

"Yeah, cuz you like Shindo, but I hate them both. They piss me off so much." Nari snorted to herself. "And now I'm gonna have to deal with fangirls who think that I shouldn't be able to be on a team with those two. Just my fucking luck."

"Oh man, oh man!" Hotaru's voice kept on jumping decibels, as she thought about where she would place her furniture while surveying her room. She was excited. So excited!

She was moving in together with not only Nari, but also Shindo - her crush. And of course, Miyuki, who she felt was like a brotherly figure to her.

They would have important meals like breakfast and dinner together, and then maybe they would hang out and do fun things together too.

Shindo - and there was Shindo Yoh. Now that they were going to live together, they would spend a lot of time together, so while doing so…

"It should be around here somewhere," Hotaru said, going through her drawers. "I can't seem to find it…" A dejected sigh left her. "I wanted to show you that comic book…"

There was no response from him.

"Is something wrong…?" The moment she made eye contact with her, he paced up to her.

"You should be more careful…"

Hotaru stood up, blinking up at him in confusion. "What do you mean-" The next moment, she gasped.

"This, is what I mean." She was trapped by the wall. Shindo towered over her with his arms trapping her against the wall. His voice was dangerously low; and yet the goosebumps that rose from her weren't out of fear.

Hotaru gulped.

"I… Um… What?"

The look in his eyes was intense and passionate; something intoxicatingly dark lurked behind them. "You do know… That I am a man."

Her heart felt like it was ready to burst. "What… What about it?"

As he leaned in closer, she could feel his breath fanning her ear, and his cologne encompassing her senses… "It's late at night, and you invited me into your room… Do you realize what sort of situation you're in…?"

Hotaru shivered and let out a staggering breath.

Falling onto the floor in the middle of her new room, Hotaru let out a muffled scream into her hands after her shameless daydream about Shindo.

"Well this is the house… Our stuff should be in our rooms already." Hotaru's eyes sparkled as though she was in bliss. Nari sighed and muttered colorful things under her breath. They both entered their respective rooms. While Hotaru proceeded to greet the two who came a little late, Nari chose to stay in her room and avoid them as much as possible.

However, when it was meal time and she did not come out of her room to eat, Miyuki gave an annoyed sigh. "I'll get her. What the hell is she doing? We can't eat until she's here." Without waiting for anyone to respond, he walked over to her room and knocked on the door. When he heard no response, he slammed the door open and found no one. In fact, the room was so bare that he didn't think that anyone lived in it. "How does she live like this…" He muttered to himself.

The front door suddenly swung open and in came Nari as she took off her jacket, hanging it on the rack. "Where were you, Nari-chan?" Hotaru worriedly walked up to her.

"I was checking out the area and then got lost."

"..." Hotaru stared at her before letting out a big sigh. "If you wanted to do that, then let me know, so that I don't start freaking out about how I can't find you anywhere… Why are you so directionally challenged even here?"

'Even here'

"I have no idea." They then walked over to the table that was full of hot dishes. Miyuki joined them as well.

He glanced at her, remembering the bare room. "Why do you have nothing in your room? Don't you have anything?"

"...No." She twitched a little. There was a lump in her throat. "Nothing of importance."

"Hm… Simple and minimalistic then?" He tapped on the table with his finger. She stiffened, feeling his hard stare.

She quickly turned her head as her eyes darkened. She could hardly breathe comfortably in their presence."If you wish to think of it that way." Nari then took a piece of bread and chewed on it absentmindedly. The growing tension between the two made it a little uncomfortable for the other two.

"This is so awkward," Hotaru whispered to herself with a strangled voice.

"Anyways, now that we're a team, we should talk about our strengths and weaknesses." Shindo interrupted with his casual and light smile, cutting through the tension like butter. Hotaru let out a relieved breath and smiled at him.

"Yeah, that sounds like a great idea!" Hotaru immediately replied.

"Since I'm so average, you three can decide on what to do and then tell me what I need to do when you are done." The disinterest in Nari's voice was very obvious as she finished her portion of the food and stood up. "I'm going to sleep now." She turned around and left the three in silence.

"Well, we have a lot to repair with her, Miyuki." Shindo quietly spoke to him. He merely nodded in agreement. "This is gonna be difficult for us to win if she's like that."

"Just give her time. She doesn't trust people that easily, but once you wait for her, she'll slowly open up and be the best ally ever - no matter her level of her magic." Hotaru pleaded with them. She glanced at Nari's door, wondering why she was acting like that when she never behaved in such a manner in the previous world.

Hotaru sighed. The meal scenes she had imagined before moving in were too different from reality.

The tension was suffocating at the table - especially between Nari and Miyuki. She didn't understand… She thought that Nari would get along with the other two males splendidly, and that she would have to watch out for their scheming, teasing ways.

At least Shindo was very willing and was able to dispel some of the tension - or at least, perhaps ignore and proceed onto other topics, allowing Hotaru to relax slightly.

Wondering what the reason for her distaste of them was, Hotaru recalled their previous interactions.

"I don't think you should wake her. It wouldn't do you any good anyways to be around someone of her caliber at the level you are at, don't you think, Hotaru-san?"

Her eyebrow twitched at Shindo's words. She smiled brightly at him, despite the irritation leaking out of her voice quite obviously. "I don't think you get to decide who my friends are. And she's not weak."

"She isn't weak, but she's very average. And you're an elite." He commented very lightly without a break in his smile.

… Okay, she had a good idea as to why. But Miyuki never engaged in those underhanded insults, so why him too? Maybe it was because he was buddy buddy with Shindo...

Haha... All Hotaru wanted was for that tension to just vanish and to let her have lots of fun times with them, dammit!

"Nari-chan, please… For me?" Hotaru tugged at her best friend's arm. "I don't know why you're acting like that with them… Aren't they the type of people you usually get along with?"

Nari turned rigid at her energetic friend's touch. The lump in her throat came back. Discomfort lingered in her thoughts. She felt utterly suffocated. "...Not when they are too arrogant, but fine… I'll try to be myself around them…" She abruptly sighed, acting as if it was all an inconvenience.

When they came back to the house, Nari stood in front of them with a serious expression. She swallowed, wishing that she stopped feeling so nauseous around them. They waited for her to talk. "I'll get straight to the point. I don't really like you both, but I'm willing to change my dislike towards you both in order to win the competition. We can't live in the same house anyways if there's too much tension here. So I would like to extend an invitation to you both to remain cordial and to treat each other with respect until graduation."

"Sounds good." They both agreed. Nari nodded at them both and gave a supposed relaxed smile, but in actuality, her lips twitched uncomfortably in a subtle awkward manner. To the normal people, however, her smile looked naturally very warm and inviting.

"It's a pleasure to meet you two." Her smile somehow made them feel wary, but that soon went away when she said, "Let's also give an explosive warning to the rest of the teams in the competition during the first match." All three smirked at the same time. Her lips twitched again a little. She felt the lump in her throat disappear a bit, but her stomach twisted uncomfortably instead. Her fingernails dug into her skin to help her maintain her mask of calm comfort.

"Now that sounds like fun." Miyuki's eyes glinted of mischief.

Hotaru gave a dry laugh; these were the plotting smirks of one INTJ and two ENTJ's...

"Why is it you?!" Mariana, the bane of Nari's existence, swung her staff towards her. Nari jumped back, feeling a little wary of the flame user. Before she could continue, the combat magic teacher, Jin-Ae Park, yelled out for everyone to start their practical battles again. Nari wanted to puke - the lump feeling more obvious in her throat. Her expression remained relatively calm, despite how she felt. Her heart shuddered.

"You don't deserve to be on the same team as the elites. Someone like you-" Mariana dashed forward - very intent on destroying the person before her. Recognizing the anger and potential instability of Mariana's current mental state, Nari dodged to the side and threw dirt at her face. She screeched while Nari took this chance to put some distance between them.

"Sorry, but I don't really want to die yet." A wry smile lingered in her expression. The expletives the flame user screamed out were impressive. Nari focused on building her limited power output into one single attack. She just wanted to be left alone. While it was not enough to obliterate her opponent, it was enough to at least immobilize her to a good extent. The moment she released it, an explosion occurred between them. She managed to put up a barrier to stop herself from flying backwards.

When the smoke cleared up, everyone stopped their battle to watch them fight. It was clear who was superior. Mariana blocked the attack singlehandedly without breaking a sweat, but Nari breathed hard as though it took all of her power to release such a basic attack. "Yoh-sama and Kazuya-sama do not deserve to be burdened by a weakling like you. If that's your strongest attack, I can already see how your team will fall. There is only so much that Yoh-sama and Kazuya-sama can do to support you, even with the help of Hotaru-san."

Nari knew then that Mariana snapped out of her rampage. With the snap of Mariana's fingers, Nari felt a gust of flames heading her way. She instinctively understood that she will probably get burned badly by her attack if no one does anything to protect her, considering how low her stamina was. From behind Nari, she could hear Hotaru screaming and running in her direction, but she could tell that her best friend would never make it. The lump in her throat disappeared - as if she was actually relieved about her impending death; she would no longer have to deal with the males in her team anymore. Her eyebrows relaxed and the tension in her posture rested. Using the last of her power, she then put up a barrier to protect her face, neck, arms, and legs before closing her eyes to prepare for the attack.

"Why?!" Mariana cried out incredulously. Nari felt droplets of water and the presence of someone in front of her. When she opened her eyes, she stared at Miyuki - shocked and startled. The water barrier he put up with his hand was flawless and firm. There was no way that her fire magic bullet could pierce it.

"I don't appreciate you trying to teach my student." He threw the water ball into the air before catching it playfully.

"Stu...dent…?" Nari repeated in disbelief. The lump in her throat came back in full force. She felt dizzy. Her fingers curled around the grass under her roughly. Cold sweat formed on her skin and her throat turned dry. She clenched her teeth, trying hard to focus again.

He grinned at her, which made her posture turn rigid. Her eyebrows furrowed at him. "Since we still have a month left before the competition, I'll be training your physical combat and combat magic skills. We don't want you to embarrass us after all."

Taking deep breaths through her nose, she forced herself to bite her bottom lip to get a hold of herself. "...But why you?" She shakily stood back up.

"You use a dagger and I use a katana. Makes perfect sense. I also take physical combat classes that have to do with martial arts and with handling any blade weapons." He shrugged. "You could do with some help, don't you think? Healing can only take you so far in pure combat." He continued without waiting for her reply. "Build your stamina, make you proficient enough to fight without magic, and hone your combat magic skills. I can help you with your ice magic to a good extent too since mine is water."

"..." Nari stared at him. She did not want to talk to him. She did not want to look at him. She did not want to interact with him. She wanted to get out of his presence. She hated how he kept talking to her. She hated how he never - how he never ever - looked at her as if she was hopeless - as if she was never the useless person that people believed her to be. And that was why she hated him. He could see through her facade - the walls that she put up. And she was terrified that he would see her. Her fingernails dug into her skin harder, making it a bit red. But she knew that he would not stop until she agreed to train with him. Feeling exhausted about everything, she decided to stop her train of thoughts and proceeded to turn off her emotions for this single moment.

Miyuki sighed when he noticed how unresponsive she was towards his suggestion. "I don't think you should reject my offer when you're being given a chance to improve yourself. There's nothing wrong with building up your skills and becoming a better fighter-"

She blinked. "Okay." Her parched throat made it hard for her to speak. Her wrist trembled, but her hand wrapped around it tightly, forcing it to still.

"And-" He locked eyes with her for a brief moment. She glanced down at the floor, avoiding his gaze. "Oh? I didn't expect you to agree so easily. We only just started to compromise."

"I'm not that stupid, Miyuki." She then dusted off her shirt, trying to remain calm. "I need all the help that I can get for this stupid competition. And I don't like letting the team I'm on lose because of me, contrary to belief."

"But Kazuya-sama-" Mariana cried out - only to shut up once she was the recipient of his glare.

He then faced Nari with a grin. "Now that we agreed, let's shake on it." He held out his hand. The lump in her throat felt bigger than before. Her wrist continued to tremble and her eyebrows remained rigid. She finally tentatively grabbed his hand with hers before letting go quickly. She grabbed her wrist again and faced the other direction. "With the class as witness, you aren't allowed to escape from any of the training sessions in the future." Somehow, his smile looked a little wicked when she glanced at him. She then wondered to herself briefly if this really was a good idea.

Hope I'll see reviews, favorites, or follows in the near future! After all, my co-writer and I will be looking forward to seeing them~!

By the way, if you like Izuku and Shouto from BNHA, I highly recommend reading my co-writer's fanfic: s / 13005788 / 1 / Neither
