Oh no...

She was pinned against a wall, unable to scream as cold eyes stared directly at her.

"I d-don't understand!" Uraraka opened her eyes slightly, staring at the general who grabbed her by the neck.

"You do understand you little wrench!" She let go of the maid and immediately grabbed her arm, pulling her in another direction.

"Where are you taking me?!" Uraraka fought back, pulling at the general's strength. But her low energy led her to weakness, and the pulling was her only guidance through.

Soon enough both women entered the training grounds, where Uraraka had watched an unlikely scene unfold. Once there, the general pushed the maid roughly, making her fall to the floor on her behind. Uraraka tried to maintain an innocent composure in front of the cold woman.

The general created a sharp knife out of thin air and pointed it at the maid. "Since we are out of public sight, you will tell me all about your reasons being here. Now!"

Uraraka backed away slowly, until her back hit the wall behind her. She tried to stare directly at the woman. "I don't comprehend your madness general! I'm but an innocent maid!"

The general's eyes kept steady on the girl, searching for any change in motion. "A maid with an unrecognizable face and different eyes... Who's presence entered and exited Sir Bakugou's room after a long period of time..."

The maid grasped on to the edges of her uniform tightly, thinking of a valuable excuse. "Y-you must have seen the wrong woman, for I was only walking through the hall attending my duties!"

The general approached the girl at a rapid pace and grabbed her by the neck once more, pushing her head against the wall. "You won't lie to me you scum... For I have heard of the way our guest has stared at you upon stumbling in the gardens and of the way he chased a woman through the maids' quarters! If it isn't enough evidence to suggest that you are all but a mere maid, I don't know what might be?"

"P-Please... just let me go..."

"What's you name you little rat?"

Uraraka remembered the false name that she carried above her head. "My name is... U-Uravity!"

The general kept her hand steady. "By the way you stuttered I believe it is but a nickname rather than an original..."

"I s-swear!"

The woman smirked. "Swear all you want. Promise all you can! But your ass will be reported to our master and I'll get you executed as soon as possible for treason!"

Suddenly, an anger and furious energy filled Uraraka's chest. Unable to hide it any longer, the maid looked down at the general and gritted her teeth. "Reported...? Executed? For it is true that this demonic family does the things so rumored about! Imprison the innocent, take away loved ones...!" Her eyes watered. "Take parents away from their children!"

The general's smirk suddenly vanished, her skin turned paler than snow and her eyes wide in shock. She slowly loosened her grip on the girl's neck and let her fall once more on the ground.

The maid immediately grabbed on her neck, trying to take in as much oxygen as posible before glaring at the general. "Imprison me for how many years you want! Kill me with all your might! But nothing would stop even my spirit to expose this evil bloodline and your horrific schemes!"

But it was as if the other woman had been thrown a bucket of cold water over her head. Her eyes were distant in comprehension as she dropped the knife, which diluted into the air. "You are an orphan of heart..."

Uraraka changed her expression to one of confusion. "What do you speak of?"

"You are looking for the ones who brought you into this world on this territory..."

The maid rose to her feet, her confusion still intact. "Words of philosophy won't change my perspective General-"

"You are..." The general looked directly at the girl, her eyes carrying something like relief. "Just like me..."

Uraraka stared incredulously at the woman in front of her, shocked to hear such words. "What do you mean...?"

"This family took my parents too..." The woman's eyes watered. "I thought I was truly alone in this world!"

The maid gritted her teeth, unbelieving of the words the general spoke. "Your lies won't fool me General! And even if it were true you would have avenged your hatred on the Shotos!"

The general looked away, her gaze holding the same sadness as before. This time the bucket of cold water was thrown over Uraraka's head as she remembered the peculiar moment that happened on the same place where she stood.

"But you wouldn't do a thing...because your heart can't take the pain of avenging against your love..."

For the first time since her stay, Uraraka watched tears stream down the cold general's face. Guilt ate on the insides of the maid as she watched the walls breaking down around the person she thought of as an enemy.

The general sobbed uncontrollably, her chest tightened in an unknown way and her legs gave up on her, making her fall to the ground on her knees. Uraraka approached the woman with worry, kneeling besides her and uncaringly hugging the woman.


Once the general became calm, she invited the maid to sit on a bench, still in the same training grounds. Uraraka's surprise still remained intact, she couldn't believe the change of judgement one moment could cause.

The two women sat in silence for a long moment, unsure of what to do or say. Until the general broke her silence. "I shall start... Even if pride is telling me to stop."

"You shouldn't let it consume you. That's the first rule of honesty."

The woman straightened her composure. "Well, let me apologize for the wrong terms we started on... and for the way I threatened you..."

Uraraka smiled with comprehension. "I accept your apologies. Even though I don't agree with the way you try to take information out of people..."

"It is the way I've been taught to be..." The general gazed away. "After coming to this horrid place..."

The maid sighed, asking away a question she was afraid to deliver. "And about that topic... How did you come to this, General? Apart from your parental reason, of course."

"You can stop calling me General, Uravity, for I have a real name and that is Momo… Momo Yaoyorozu."

"And you were right, Uravity was all but a real name. Call me Uraraka… Uraraka Ochako."

Momo smiled kindly. "I knew that the name wasn't real all along since you stumbled upon me in the grounds. It seemed too false for a woman like you..."

Uraraka looked at the woman confused but accepted her comment either way. "I'll take that as compliment for the heart's sake... So, about the question."

"Ah yes..." The woman looked down at the floor in remembrance. "Well, as my last name ensues I was part of a clan of creation warriors. We could make things out of thin air and use weapons as if it was our native language... My family was very famous in our town for our skills, and as heir to something greater I was bound to be married at some point in my life to someone of the same power..."

Uraraka listened closely.

"And the day my life was bound to a man I didn't know and who my heart didn't desire I... I ran. I escaped the image of the perfect daughter, regal in her stance. Something I was awfully not... Then as I hid far away from my town, I smelled the scent of burning... and blood..."

The maid couldn't contain the horror in her gaze. "W-was it your town?"

The general looked at her with sadness. "It was... And upon arriving back to my home, I found the whole town burned down, bodies of people I knew laying in horrid positions, and my parents gone... A few days went on, and upon taking a closer look I found a disappearing trail of disturbed dirt which then transformed into prints of wheels. I followed it like so and it brought me here."

"And how did you become a general?"

"Well let me finish and I shall tell you." The woman smiled lightly. "Once here, I watched as a few soldiers pulled prisoners out of wagons and between the bunch were the people who brought me to life... Of course I wanted to barge in and claim my loved ones but I knew I couldn't right away or it might have brought doom to me and my parents... So I posed as a guard and slowly made my way on top..."

"And what about Todoroki Shoto? How did you fall for the heir?"

Momo stared at the wall opposite from them and sighed. "He saw me training one day and complimented me on my work... He offered to teach me some of his moves and was impressed with my powers." Her gaze became of a dream like state. "And he was so proud of me when I was brought to General ranking... He smiled for me that day..."

"How long has it been?"

"Five years..."

Uraraka stared dumbfoundedly at the woman. "And why haven't you reclaimed your parents?"

"Well it is of the up most danger if I do so and also... I've searched even in the dungeons and found that they are not here... I sometimes even fear for the worst..."

The maid came closer, placing a hand on the general's back. "If their will is as strong as yours I believe they are alive, so don't pay mind to such negative thoughts."

Momo smiled. "I'll try not to... And-"

She looked at Uraraka. "How did you come here?"

Then, Uraraka proceeded to explain everything in detail to the woman, watching her expression change from familiarity to confusion at the mention of the wishing tree.

"A tree of a thousand hands who grants wishes by sacrificing something personal? That's a very cruel creature!"

"It is... and now i'm paying a price I never thought I would pay, just because I wanted to help someone..."

Momo sighed, unsure on what to comment on the situation. "And you don't want to reverse your wish? Just for the sake of your wellbeing."

Uraraka accompanied her sigh. "I've had moments where I regret some part of it but then again... If it hadn't been for my wish Bakugou would have died in the hands of the people I trusted..."

"And this may seem out off topic but, what about your eyes? Were they always the color they are?"

"No... I used to get these rims when I healed others.. Now it seems to be a side effect of becoming human.."

"I see..." the general raised her brow in curiosity and gazed at the maid. "And what about the fire? Have you found the cause?"

"I couldn't..." The maid stood from her seat and paced the grounds in front of the other as realization of other details came to her head. "Although... When I looked towards Bakugou before tragedy striked, he was pointing his palms towards the top of the cabin... As if someone was there..."

"That's very strange..."

"It is..."

Suddenly, Uraraka's mind was filled with a convenient idea and stopped right in front of momo's sitting figure and extended her hand.

The general stared at the girl's gesture with confusion. "What are you doing?"

"Well, since we know our purpose here how about we make an agreement?"

"What might that be?" Momo stood from her seat, standing a foot taller than Uraraka and staring down at her.

"How about we work together to find our parents and get away from here?"

Momo sighed, thinking of the man her heart desired, but also of the duties that she carried as a daughter. That deal was her only way of getting out of that place it seemed. "No betrayals shall be done between us?"

"No betrayals!"

The general grabbed Uraraka's hand and grasped it tightly. "Then we may have a deal."


Bakugou had changed from the velvet clothes to something described as casual in the mansion, but in his mind it was all but that. He missed his old clothes and his home very much, but he knew that he had to wait a little longer if he wanted to get Uraraka and her parents out of there. He would have to keep his heroic pretence just like the maid.

Uraraka… It was you all along...

He couldn't stop thinking of the girl in all her ways. From her small stance to her new golden eyes, Uraraka was beyond all the beast wanted, he even felt as if she didn't deserve her. Bakugou felt too little for a woman for the first time...

He remembered the sadness in her eyes and how much they ached for him. She was so small in his hands and so vulnerable, it was as if warmth had entered his heart for the first time.

I promise we will be happy... no matter what...

As Bakugou made his way down the corridor of his room, a familiar face appeared from the shadows, approaching the beast with his cold stare.

The beast stared in slight surprise at the heir. "Impatient are we, boy-prince? I was on my way to find your presence. Your guard-"

" It's General for you, Sir Bakugou." Todoroki refuted, crossing his arms over his chest.

The heir's sudden reaction confused the beast slightly. "-General... she called for me at my door, requesting my presence in front of yours. So, Icyhot what do you need?"

"It's not a need... but an offer."

This time, Bakugou crossed his arms over his chest, suspicious of his words. "What is it?"

"As a fellow savior of mine and others, who has showed that he is worthy of such power that I haven't seen yet-"

"Cut it short. Fancy words won't get to me."

Todoroki frowned slightly. "If you allow me to finish for once maybe I shall cut it short for you, Sir Bakugou. Well, as I was saying, I was and am going to offer you a very valuable position in this family... Even more valuable than an heir... And that is as a right hand man to m-my father..."

The beast jumped back, in shock of his words. "Wait... Why are you giving this position to me?"

"I am not. Ironically, Endeavor is."

Bakugou blinked back the sudden pride, feeling a cold run down his back. "That... man can't give such an important position to me, to someone he just met!"

The heir was taken back by the beast's sudden reaction. "Are you taking down such an important offer? You can even-"

"I don't want it, Icyhot!"

"Once again, you didn't let me finish..." Todoroki smirked slightly and approached Bakugou's side, whispering. "You can even offer a better life to that maid..."

The beast's eyes widened in shock. He couldn't believe the words that came out of the heir's mouth and questioned every move he made with Uraraka. In his mind he mapped out the corridors and halls he followed and went with the maid, trying to recollect if any sign of someone else was near by. But nothing came to mind...

Bakugou grasped at the heir's arm, his nails digging deep and growling with anger. "How do you know of it, little prince...?"

Todoroki glared at the beast. "The way you stared at the girl when we stumbled upon her in the garden, the way you refuted my comment by saying her eyes were unique with the most contemplating smile... The way you chased after that woman and the way you are clawing at my arm in this moment. It says it all, beast. So are you going to accept the position or hide away from it...?"

Bakugou let go of the heir's arm, seeing something underneath his stone façade. "Your threat can't hide the need deep inside you. The one where your father doesn't recognize you as the rightful heir to his throne and your envy boils from within when telling me about this oh so great position your own piers have granted me." He didn't even care about your broken arm and keeps your mother in captivity!"

Todoroki's cold hand grew sharp icicles on it's sides, which went slowly up his arm and on his face. "How dare you..."

"You threatened me first Boy-prince... Now taste the same poison." The beast showed his fangs. "You dare use my woman against me again and I will kill you."

"So it is true... you are involved with that maid..." Todoroki smirked slightly once again, his arm still covered in ice.

Bakugou then walked away, not thinking of the consequences his words might have brought.

The heir slowly let his guard down, the need clawing on his insides while pride locked it in a cage, but need won. "I have the need for you to accept this position in an urgent way, Sir Bakugou."

The beast stopped in his tracks, his back still facing the heir. "Why?"

"I have a personal feud with my father as you may have seen in your first meeting...And he wants to grant you a position way too soon for anyone's liking. With you accepting the offer we can get closer to his intentions."

"Do you consider him a father or-?"

"I do not, ever since my childhood, Sir Bakugou. I want him to pay for all he has done..." The boy-prince allowed his arm to go back to normal. "For all the pain he has caused to the innocent."

Bakugou turned around slightly, remembering his promise to his young lover. "Me too..."

The heir stared in shock at the beast. "You do?"

"Well... a favor from the heart." The beast thought it through, when the convenience in his stance alerted his senses. "You know what... Let's make a deal, Icyhot. I will accept the position in favor of your desire to know more of your father... In return, I want information of my own... And, also, no mention of the maid to anyone in this mansion. Do we have a deal?"

Todoroki raised his gaze, following the hand offered up to him from the distance. He considered the offer exchange and found himself leaning towards it without any remorse. Soon their hands met in a tight grasp.

"Yes, Sir Bakugou, we do have a deal."

Two smirks synchronized in the halls of hell.
