Kagome turned and continued through the open door where she found a boy sitting on a chair while undergoing a healing kiss from their nurse. '...so that's the only way she can heal? Looks like I've got one up on the residential nurse.'
"What the hell are we doing here?!" Katsuki hissed from her left.
Smiling, she nodded to the nurse who smiled and walked out of the room.
"K-Kaachan! Why are you...I mean..."
"I didn't come here knowingly, Deku!"
Kagome pinched his arm and smirked when he inhaled at the sudden pinch of pain. "Deku! Oh...Izuku!" Kagome blushed, smiling when Izuku only smiled and laughed it off. "You really don't mind the name Deku, do you."
He glanced up and smiled, shaking his head a little, but with his own blush coloring his cheeks.
"Tch! Let's go, this is such a waste of time!"
"You know, Katsuki, I want to be Izuku's friend too..."
He looked at her, turning a glare onto Izuku after a few seconds, "...you stupid Deku...why is it you're always in my way!" His hands sparked dangerously before he moved in to punch Izuku. Kagome stepped lightly in front of him, and where she normally would pull up a barrier, she didn't need to this time. His eyes were on her, and his fist never moved in for the blow as he slowly dropped his hand down beside him. "One day, it's been one day, and it's already like this?"
Kagome smiled, "I like Katsuki, you are the type of person, that makes an amazing friend. Trustworthy, strong, and caring...you are the type that is always there when you need them, and will always win no matter what. You don't give up, and you hate failure, but all of that comes with a pretty hefty price...right?"
"What the hell are you talking about?" He said this with words of annoyance, but truly, it came out sounding simply tired.
Behind Kagome, Izuku was staring mortified by what could have happened, didn't happen, and did happen...all in a bout of a few seconds.
"You are really hard on your friends...but you demand no more from those around you then what you demand of yourself."
"Don't talk like you know anything about me!" He snapped, "do you think you're my mother!?"
Kagome laughed, "I hope not. Your mother must be amazing though...to put up with a punk like you!"
He simmered down, turned and made to walk away, but stopped at the doorway as he did. "Deku...I don't know how...but you obviously aren't a Quirkless loser anymore...now you're just a loser! Don't get in my way...or else..." he left with those words hanging in the air.
Kagome shuddered at the deadly threat and sighed, "I can't wait to hear what your childhood with him must have been like."
"Actually...it really wasn't so bad. In fact, we had a lot of fun together, before he got his Quirk."
'...before he got all powerful and domineering...' she laughed, "do you still believe in story-time, Izuku?"
"Story...ah, y-yeah! I guess...I still do. Would you, like to hear a story?"
Kagome sat down on the floor and waited patiently to hear the stories that told the tale of Katsuki and Izuku's friendship. She wondered if there was any chance of mending it back together.

Katsuki was kicking cans, kicking rocks, at one point he kicked a box that had someone in it. Then he yelled at the man, snapped and told him to do something with his life, then returned to kicking trash and stones across the road until he was...standing on a log bridge long since covered in grass. "...stupid Deku...not everything has to be about you."

"Here are the keys to your dorm room, you only have two, one is a spare. If you lose one, you are to report it to your homeroom teacher, the office receptionist or the counselor."
"Yes ma'am, what is curfew?"
"Ten o'clock. You have access to the training grounds until then, unless you've been given preceding permission or have a teacher with you supervising you after hours."
"Do you have a weapons/uniform form too? I wanted to add some to my outfit."
"This is the form you need," the woman handed it over the counter, "also, there is no guarantee that your weapon will be approved the way you intend for it, or if it is, it may be altered. Is there anything else you need?"
"No ma'am."
"Very well, your Homeroom teacher is responsible for you after hours, you are in room two-twelve. It's on the second floor, on the right if you take these stairs out the door. Let's see...oh, and this is a packet that details what time breakfast is served and where the school laundromat is. We hope you enjoy your school experience."
"Thank you, I will!" Kagome took the keys and the papers provided by the receptionist and bowed her thanks before leaving the woman to turn in for the day. 'I got some insight on Izuku and Katsuki, and possibly lost some social points with my new temperamental friend, but good things to those who wait, right? Also...Eraser Head...' Kagome smiled, walking upstairs and taking a right towards her room. 'I should write letters to mama and Souta, letting them know how everything is going...I can start tonight, add to it throughout the week and send it out Friday night. Weekly updates will be good for them. Tomorrow...maybe I can find some time to sit down and talk my Quirk over with Mr. Aizawa.'
"Kagome."
Kagome stopped and turned to see her Homeroom teacher walking out of what appeared to be his own room near the stairway. "Mr. Aizawa..."
"Put your bags away and then meet me in the lunchroom. Bring a notebook and pencil, you still have a few more lessons to undergo before you can call it a night."
"...oh! Y-yes sir!" She raced to her room as he walked downstairs. 'This works too, I can get a head start on perfecting this Quirk of mine!'
