A Request

Shindo blinked. A weight was thrown over him as wind and fire barreled right at him. His ultimate move was ruined. His body wasn't quite ready to move and he had nothing left.

He gnashed his teeth in frustration.

Those bastards had screwed up his only chance! He stopped as arms coiled around his head and neck, carefully cradling his body towards someone's chest.

"Just hang in there." A feminine voice called beside his ear. "I can't do much but at least I can buy us some extra time."

His fingers twitched. It was that girl. Higurashi from U.A.'s class 1-A! She'd aided him with the rescue efforts but he hadn't realized that she'd charged onto the battlefield with him. Shindo struggled to sit up. She wasn't an offensive type. She wouldn't last thirty seconds out here. He couldn't let her sacrifice herself for his sake.

"Hang on!" Her arms coiled around him tightly. He felt her body lean over his as she tried to shield him from the blast. Damn it, this was not how he wanted things to go.

He froze as the wind and heat dissipated—as if it'd been blocked by something. His eyes opened and he managed to catch a glimpse of a barrier. Its power shimmered and reflected an odd light before it split apart in a thousand shards.

Was that her quirk?

He'd only seen her use it for healing, not defense.

Kagome sat up, "Can you stand?"

The concerned expression upon her face caused him to soften.

"I'm fine. Just worry about yourself." He managed to rise to his feet. Shindo posed himself in front of her. The girl was willing to throw herself in harm's way to protect him. The least he could do was return the favor. "Stay behind me. I don't want you getting caught up in this."

Kagome didn't argue with him.

Instead he felt her palms upon his shoulder blades as she fed her power into his body. The heaviness in his limbs became less noticeable. Even the sting of his previous injuries faded into a dull ache. If she wasn't able to go on the offensive, but she was definitely giving her all to help.

"Tremoring Earth!" He slammed his hands on the ground, causing the earth beneath their feet to shake and crumble. It was an ultimate move that he'd been saving. At least now he could use it to do something he'd be proud of.

"Shindo, Shou and Shiasa are still over there!" Her worried voice carried over the sound of disintegrating earth.

He stopped.

Shit. She was right.

As much as he wanted to beat the crap out of those two for getting in his way, the last thing he needed was to have points deducted for acting recklessly.

The girl cocked her head over her shoulder, "Izuku!"

Shindo only had a split second to react before a flash of green darted across the landscape. He turned and brought Kagome towards him protectively. There was no way she'd be able to handle the aftershock.

Her hands clung to his shoulders as a wave of power blasted through the arena. Had that been the short fry's doing? Sure his quirk was amazing but he'd never seen anything like that before! His arms tightened as she struggled to hang on.

Just a little more.

The power stopped and a horn blasted overhead.

"This now concludes the final portion of the exam. You may return to change clothes while your scores are being calculated."

Shindo stood to his full height.

It was over?

He glanced down at the woman still in his arms. She seemed a little dazed but otherwise unhurt. Truth be told he probably would have been in trouble if she hadn't jumped in with that barrier of hers.

He titled his head to flash her a bright smile, "Thanks for the save."

Her face flushed, "Same to you."

"Kagome! Are you alright?" Midoriya ran to her side. The teen checked his classmate over for injuries but she merely smiled and waved him off with a word of appreciation.

Shindo turned on the ball of his heel.

They briefly parted—each of them heading back to their assigned changing areas. He thought over their interaction carefully. As much as he hated U.A. and most of their students, there was definitely something different about her.

She was one of the first to aid the other schools in the second half of the exam, plus she worked diligently to ensure that they were maximizing the results of their efforts. She was intelligent and compassionate.

He could say that he quite enjoyed hanging around her. His mind made up, Shindo quickly finished changing his clothes before scouring the main waiting area. With disappointment he realized that she wasn't there. Which just left one place she could be.

He rushed outside.

Shindo scanned the crowd. He tugged on the collar of his shirt as he passed by his classmates. Now where was she at? If anything she'd likely be near her own classmates from U.A. So that left only a few options.

He pushed his way through the unfamiliar faces until he found her. She stood with her back to him, her eyes focused on the screen hovering above their heads. The young woman bit into her bottom lip nervously. She combed her hands through her hair—probably a nervous tick she'd had but it was cute all the same.

Shindo straightened his back. Lifting his hand, he quickly called out to her.

"Hey Higurashi!" He threw her another wide grin the second she turned to face him. "I tried looking for you a few minutes ago. You decided to head out here early?"

She fidgeted, "Yeah. I was too nervous to just stand around so I thought it'd be better to wait out here with everyone else." She tipped her head to meet his gaze. There was something very shy in the way she interacted with him now. Had their position during the battlefield gotten to her? His smile turned confident. If so then that was good news for him.

"I feel you there. Anyways, I actually had a request for you." He came to her side, enjoying the bright blush that flamed her cheeks as he did so. Oh yeah, she was definitely effected by him.

"A request?" She tilted her head to the side curiously.

He nodded, "I wanted to know if I could have your number. I thought it'd be a good idea to keep contact after this."

Kagome stuttered someone, as if his request had been taken by surprise.

"Shindo?"

His grin grew wider, "Just call me Yo."

She flushed again, "Yo, if I may, why do you want my number?"

He should've known that it wouldn't have been that easy. Still he wasn't the type to simply give up either.

"For starters it'd be a good idea to train together after this." Seeing her shoulders deflate a little he continued, "Plus I wanted to know if you're free this weekend."

She jumped, "Yo?"

He grinned, "Let's go out."
