Amari walked into the classroom a couple days later only to find a couple students laughing around Mina's desk. They looked to be reading something, although she really didn't have any interest.

As she approached her desk, Mina called out to her, now noticing her presence. "Hey Amari, come check this out!"

The other students started calling her as well until the girl had no choice but to comply, walking up to the desk slowly. "What's up?"

Lifting the book in the air, Mina waved it around like crazy. "Some news outlet covered our class during the sports festival. Look, there is a page dedicated to everyone, it's so cool!"

Narrowing her eyes with confusion, Amari replied. "Really? What does it say about me?"

Kirashima smirked at that, pointing to the page. "It says you were super strong and amazing! You were the third best of the entire class you know. Man, I'm still jealous."

Amari face couldn't help but flush at that, patting the boys spiky head once. "Come on Kiri, you don't give yourself enough credit. I'm not that great. I just got lucky that's all."

The boy smiled softly at their words when Denki ripped the book out of Mina's hands and smirked. "Oh yeah, and there is a whole section of your page dedicated to how you confessed to Todoroki in the middle of his match. Let's not forget about that."

Amari's face fell then, already turning away from the book. She didn't need to hear anymore about this. She had already gone through enough torture the past couple days. "Just great.."

Mina saw her walking away though and called out loudly. "Wait, where are you going Amari? You didn't even see your page yet."

But the girl only put a hand out, already placing her bag on her desk. "That's okay Mina. I'd rather not have to read about one of the biggest public embarrassments I've made in my entire life."

Frowning at her response, Mina got another idea, letting her voice lower silently in a sly manner. "Are you sure? You know, there is also an entire section on Todoroki in here also, with pictures."

This caused Amari to pause, letting her hand slowly drop from her bag. She hated to admit it but she was slightly intrigued now. "What are you trying to say?"

Mina only shrugged in response though, waving the book in the air, taunting her. "Nothing really. I just didn't know if you wanted to read about your boyfriend or not. There is some really juicy stuff in here."

Amari narrowed her eyes, not wanting to give the girl what she wants. Did she really think she was so love sick that she would give in just like that?

Because if so, she was absolutely right.

Moving back up to the desk, Amari ripped the paper from Mina's hands, trying to not make eye contact. She really was so shameless. "I hate you."

Although, the girl just shrugged while smiling, obviously not taking it personal. "No you don't."

Amari groaned at that, focusing her eyes on the page in front of her. Mina was right, there was an entire page dedicated to Todoroki, with a picture of him using his left side on half of the page while the other was filled with facts and information about the boy.

She knew she probably should've just asked him about these things but Todoroki was always such a closed book most of the time. She hardly knew anything about him other than the hatred for his father.

Scanning her eyes on the page, Amari stopped when she noticed something important. "Wait, is all this information accurate?"

Everyone nodded their heads and she suddenly felt her stomach drop to the deepest pit imaginable. It said that his birthday had already past a couple weeks ago. Why didn't she know that?

Thinking back to her own birthday, Todoroki really pulled out all the stops. He listened to her drunk ramblings, treated her to dinner and even showed her his favorite spot, never mind giving her the gold bracelet that she hadn't taken off since then. He had done so much for her and what had she done in return, nothing. This was terrible.

Amari crumpled the page in her hands, Mina noticing her change in attitude. "Hey, what's wrong?"

Shaking her head, she replied. "I did something terrible. Oh no, I'm the worst person ever! How could I not know something like this?"

Mina eyed this with confusion while Kirashima looked over her shoulder in question. "Why do you say that?"

Throwing the book down onto the desk, Amari shook her head once more. "His birthday, I never said anything to him or did anything special even though he's done so much for me. I never even knew when it was.."

The class looked between each other before Denki spoke back. "Ah come on, don't get that beaten up about it. How were you supposed to know? Todoroki isn't the most sociable person in the world after all."

He did have a point that but didn't make her feel any better. "Still, I should've done something. Even if he didn't tell me, I should've known."

Looking down at her bracelet, Amari knew she had to do something to fix this. Her time at this school was already very limited and Todoroki had selflessly done so much for her over the last couple months. She needed to thank him somehow for always being there for her before it was too late. She needed to tell him she loved him.

That's when she got an idea on how to do just that. "No, I have to fix this, no matter what."

Just then, her eyes locked with the rest of the class, determination in her gaze. Yes, she could do this. "Everyone, I need your help, if that's okay?"

One by one, everyone's faces turned into sly and sneaky smiles, ready to take on this task. Kirashima, Mina and Denki were especially excited. "Say no more."

Amari smiled back then when a voice caused her to jump ten feet into the air all at once. "Good morning Amari."

Turning back to him, she screamed at the sudden realization. "AHHHHHH.. I mean, Shoto, good morning. What are you doing here?"

He noticed her nervous demeanor right now, worried that something might have been wrong. "This is our classroom? Are you okay? You seem a little jumpy."

Widened her eyes slightly, Amari playfully slapped him on the back, laughing back in an unconving way. "Jumpy? What, no! Who's jumpy? I'm not jumpy at all. This is just how I am, all the time, 24/7. Yeah that's right. That's just plain old me ha ha"

Todoroki raised a confused eye at this when Mina reached forward and grabbed her arms around the girls shoulder, pulling her towards her. "Ah don't worry about it Todoroki. We were only teasing her about you two. She gets flustered really easily, huh?"

Luckily, he seemed to buy the lie really easily, just sighing in response. That sounds like something they would do. "Please don't do that. You're making her uncomfortable."

Mina just smirked then, putting her hands up in defense and letting the poor girl go. "You're right. Sorry Amari. It was all in good fun, I swear."

Amari looked back the girl before giving a knowing look and going along with her plan. They were covering for her. "Ah yeah, it's okay. No worries."

Suddenly the bell began to ring and everyone moved towards their seats, Amari now thinking about the months ahead and humming happily as Mina winked at the girl secretly.

Maybe she could pull this off.


During class, Aizawa mentioned that final exams where around the corner, and with it was the chance to attend an exclusive training camp over the break. Long story short, it was something everyone was both very excited and worried about.

Because of that, Bakugo already assumed he would pass and began packing almost immediately. In his mind, he had already won, even before the exam started. That's just how Bakugo was.

Once his mother found out about the exam, she forced him to take Amari to the nearby mall so that she could start preparing also, although he wasn't too sure that she was going to pass. He was kind of hoping she wouldn't so that he wouldn't have to worry about her. A small break would be nice.

Amari herself though was just excited about the possibilities ahead. She didn't care what the training camp involved, just reeling about the idea of being able to bond with her brother. Maybe this trip could draw them closer together. She kind of hoped so.

Stepping through the doors to the mall, she hummed happily with a slight skip in her step, already causing Bakugo to groan. "Would you stop? Why are you so damn happy anyways? I can't believe mom made me bring you here. Who even knows if you're going to pass your exam.."

Amari frowned slightly, bringing a stop to the skip as she shrugged. "Who knows, but I'm going to give it everything I've got so I can join you over break. Imagine the two of us together, bonding, telling scary stories, training together, doesn't that sound fun?"

Her voice rose on each word, gaining more excitement from each one, although Bakugo didn't feel the same. This just sounded like he would have to babysit her from doing something stupid. "Hell no. Who says I would do any of that crap?"

Shaking her head slightly, Amari's eyes fell. "Ah yeah sorry, I guess I'm getting ahead of myself. Of course you wouldn't want to do any of that. Still, that would be fun."

Bakugo took in the change of attitude and immediately felt bad for shooting her down. Why did she look so depressed now?

Groaning once again, Katsuki aggressively pressed down on her head before turning away. "How about you focus on passing first and then we can talk about all that nonsense."

Amari blinked in surprise at that, lightly touching the area where his hand once was. "Wait, does that mean you're okay with it?"

Shaking his head, Katsuki scoffed. "Don't get ahead of yourself brat, you have to actually pass the exam first."

Although Amari was overjoyed by his words. He wasn't completely shutting her down. This was so new and she didn't know how to feel about it.

Smiling happily, she then raced in front of him before flexing her invisible muscles in determination. "Challenge accepted Katsuki. I'll pass and then we can be the Bakugo Dream Team together!"

Her title didn't make him amused in the slightest though, shaking his head in disappointment. "Oh god, never say that 's the stupidest name I've ever heard in my entire life."

Nodding her head in acceptance, Amari thought about the name, knowing that Katsuki didn't approve of it. "I'll work on it before the break."

She laughed slightly when a voice behind her made her entire body freeze all at once. "Hold on, is that Bakugo?"

Unable to turn to the voice, Amari felt her stomach grow extremely uncomfortable and her heart rate pick up at a rapid pace. Suddenly, she was back to being a child, hiding behind the entrance to her house to get a peek at his friends. She wanted to run but her body wouldn't listen.

Bakugo blinked in surprise at the strangers, almost recognizing them immediately. It was a couple of his friends from his childhood, the same exact friends he lied to about Amari all those years back. Was the universe playing some sort of sick joke on him?. "What are you two extras doing here?"

The boys just turned their heads in amusement, racing forward and slapping the poor boy on the back. "Oh, don't be like that! What, now that you're all famous you don't remember your old friends? I heard about you at the sports festival dude, you were insane!"

Because they were complimenting them, Bakugo couldn't help but smirk. "Of course, I am the best of the best after all. Did you two extras forget that?"

They laughed at this, clearly enjoying his words. "Same old Bakugo. We missed you dude. You should come hang out more…"

The three started to talk about something unimportant, still not recognizing Amari's presence so she thought it would be best to leave them alone. Bakugo probably didn't want them to know about her anyways, that's how it was when they were kids after all.

Turning her foot away though, one of his friends caught her eye and pointed. "Wow, and who is this? You two look almost alike, it's crazy. If only you were a bit taller then you two could be like twins. Too bad Bakugo's an only child though."

The boys words drove an invisible sword into her chest. Of course she wasn't to his standards. She wondered what kind of disappointed expression he would make if he knew they were actually related.

Not wanting to say too much, Amari just smiled, putting her hands out in response and ignoring the light shake that had appeared from her nerves. She needed to get out of here and fast. "Don't worry about it. I'm no one. You three catch up, I'm going to go check out a couple shops."

She started to turn away when Bakugo raised an eye in confusion, calling back to her. "Hold on, brat. Where the hell do you think you're going? Mom told me not to leave you alone."

Although Amari only shook her head, trying to get out of the situation even faster. He needed to stop using such dangerous words or else his friends would know they were related, and she knew he didn't want that. "It's fine, you guys haven't seen each other in awhile. I don't want to get in the way…"

Amari stepped way then when a hand wrapped around the center strap of her backpack, pulling her backwards in surprise. He silently wondered why was she acting all jumpy now. It was strange. "Whaa are you doing? Let me go Katsuki.."

His friends eyed his interaction strangely, now noticing the close atmosphere. "Is she a classmate of yours or something?"

Shaking her head, she was about to deny his words again when Katsuki did something unexpected, causing her eyes to widen all at once. "She's not just a classmate, she's my sister."

His words seemed to surprise the boys as well, recalling what Bakugo used to tell them all the time when they were kids. "Your sister? But you said you were an only child."

Because of that phrase, Bakugo's mind began to fill with shame, remembering how he lied to them in order to ease his own guilt. He didn't want Amari to know about that. "I lied."

His friends minds then began to race all at once, not fully understanding the situation. "Hold on, so you're saying that she's, your sister? Come on Bakugo that not a very funny joke.."

Amari's eyes fell at that feeling the sting of his words, already trying to explain herself. "Yeah, I know it seems weird..."

Although Baukgo shut her up real quick, talking over her in an angry shout. "You got a problem with it or something? Because if so, then you can deal with me. It's not a damn joke…"

A small silence appeared then as Bakugo then pushed her forward in a single motion. "What are you waiting for? Usually I can't get you to shut up. Introduce yourself already so they know I'm not lying."

Suddenly everyone's eyes were on her as Amari felt forced to speak, bowing to hide her nervous demeanor. "Ah yes, hello. My name is Bakugo Amari. What he says is true, I guess. I've been in America for most of my life so that's why you probably didn't know about me. It's nice to meet you."

His friends raised a brow at that, Amari feeling self conscious as they scanned her up and down slowly. "Whoa really? Then Bakugo, why did you hide her all this time? You always said you never had a sister when we were kids."

Bakugo's eyes grew sullen as Amari only smiled sadly, bringing her hand up slightly. "Back then, I was mainly in the hospital so for Katsuki to say that he was an only child wasn't completely off, and it was probably really strange to explain my situation and everything so he probably thought it was an easier way of going about things.."

Her explanation made a large hole in his stomach, knowing fully well that he's intentions were not as pure as she made them sound. He avoided her existence on purpose so that his friends would never know the damage and suffering he caused to her. Bakugo wasn't naive back then, he was a coward.

Although his friends seemed to buy her foolish explanation, nodding their heads in acceptance. "Oh, I see. But Bakugo, you didn't have to hide her from us. We could've had another person to play with then!"

Amari smiled nervously, Katsuki noticing the slight sadness in her eyes at his words. That would've been nice. "It's alright. I wasn't really able to do those kinds of things anyways. I probably would've just held you down. I'm happy to finally meet you two though."

Placing an elbow on his friends shoulder, a new question suddenly popped into their memory. "Wait, you said you were in America, right? Then what brought you back to Japan?"

She replied back smoothly, ignoring the fact that her stomach was doing flips internally. "Oh well, I got accepted at U.A. so I've been working for my heros license with Katsuki."

The boys mouths dropped at that, scanning her up and down again to see if they misheard. "You're training to be a hero too?"

Their words sounded accusing and skeptic which was the norm for Amari. It was just like back at Endeavours agency. They didn't believe her. It was obvious.

Bakugo seemed to notice the tone as well, not liking that they were underestimating her when it was clear that she could destroy both of them at the drop of a hat if she wanted.

Frowning slightly, Katsuki grabbed onto his sisters shoulder, pushing her back a couple steps. "This brat may not look like much but she's pretty stubborn. Of course, she's not as great as me but you shouldn't underestimate her cause she'll easily kick your ass."

Amari's eyes widened at his words, not fully registering them in her mind. Was he, defending her? She didn't know but his actions made it seem that way.

Glaring at his friends, they put their hands up in defense, knowing they had misstepped and angered the boy, and that was never fun. "Fully noted. Don't worry, if she's really a Bakugo then I'm sure she's a force to be reckoned with."

They laughed nervously, talking for a couple more minutes before they parted ways, Bakugo shoving his hands in his pocket as the two left.

Well, that wasn't something he didn't want to face today. Seeing his old friends had brought up all of that shame that was still buried deep inside himself. Amari seemed uncomfortable about it also. He was just happy it was finally over.

Shaking his head, he stopped when Amari's voice rang through his mind. "Katsuki.."

He turned to her then, noticing her face twisted into one of uncertainty and confession, like she couldn't process something. "Why did you do that?"

Bakugo seemed confused by her words, replying. "What are you talking about, stupid?"

Watching her eyes grew distant, Amari sighed, placing one of her shaking hands to hold her own arms. "You should've just let me walk away. I was trying to make things easier."

Her words brought a thousand warning bells in his mind, taking a step closer in confusion. Something was off with her. "What kind of bullshit are you spewing now? Mom already told me that she'd kill me if I left you alone."

A small silence appeared then as Bakugo watched her hands around her arms tighten slightly, as if she was afraid to speak back. "But you introduced me as your sister…"

Her vague phrasing was only making him more and more annoyed though. Why did that seem like such a big problem to her? Did she not want him to do that? "Yeah, what about it?"

Casting her eyes away, Amari replied softly, as if she was almost afraid to hear the answer. "You weren't, ashamed of me?"

Bakugo processed her words slowly before growing even more nervous yet confused. What the hell was that supposed to mean? "...What?"

Blinking twice, Amari realized she may have misstepped, already trying to backtrack immensely. "Ah never mind. Sorry, it's nothing. Let's go get started on that list now…"

He turned away only for her brother to grab her arm, stopping her from leaving. He couldn't just leave the conversation like that. Something felt incredibly wrong to him. "Hold on brat. Don't just walk away from me. What the hell does that even mean?"

Her eyes locked on his for a moment before casting them away again, almost like she was ashamed of something. "It's nothing.."

Although Bakugo didn't believe her in the slightest, shouting back. "Bullshit it's nothing. Why the hell would you even say that? Of course I'm not ashamed. What would I even be ashamed about?"

Her face looked like it was battling some sort of internal war, debating on whether she should tell him or not. Although, she couldn't help but feel a small sliver of hope from his statement.

Taking a deep breath of courage, Amari decided to explain her confusion to him. "I just thought you didn't want anyone to know about me, that's why I was surprised when you suddenly did that. Didn't you want to stay an only child to them?"

Katsuki's face suddenly fell, processing her words. Did she think he was ashamed of her all this time? Well in all honesty he was, but it was for different reasons. "Amari…"

But she only shook her head, looking away from him. "You don't have to explain yourself. I always knew that's what you've wanted. Back then, I wasn't really that impressive to show off. I don't blame you for that. I'm just wondering, what made you tell them now?"

Katsuki stared at his sister for a moment, still trying to process her words. He hated that she was saying all of this so calmly, like this was just a normal part of her everyday life, when in actuality, it was cruel. How long had she known that he was trying to erase her existence?

Taking his hands out of his pockets, Bakugo didn't have an answer for her, at least not one that he could say out loud. He couldn't tell her about the reason he did all that in the first place, her brother was too ashamed for that.

Amari noticed his silence, now taking a soft step forward. He couldn't help but notice a small sliver of hope in her eyes then. "Have I changed since then?"

His couldn't help but lock eyes with hers, now feeling the need to reply. "Of course you have. You are like a completely different person from before."

Soaking in his response, Amari couldn't help but blink in surprise. Maybe that was why he finally introduced her to his friends. All this time, her main goal was to prove to Katsuki that she could be a sister he would be proud of. Someone that he could introduce to his friends and openly say that they were related.

It seemed almost too good to be true. Katsuki had just done what she had always wanted. Did mean what she thought it meant? Had she finally done it? Was she finally worthy enough in his eyes?

Already feeling a few tears prick the corner of her eye, Amari spoke back uncertain and small. She needed to know if that was the case. "Wait, I've really changed? Am I stronger now?"

Bakugo didn't know how to take her words, not understanding the hidden meaning in them. "I already said yes brat. Is your brain broken or something?"

Feeling her heart hammering in her chest, Amari felt her head grew lightheaded, unable to process what he was saying. She had finally done it. All of that intense training and pushing had worked. He wasn't ashamed anymore.

Bringing a hand to her mouth, Amari wiped a lingering tear from her eyes, now staring at him with absolute insanity. "Does this mean I can be your sister now? I can tell people?"

Bakugo found her words concerning, like it was some kind of joke, although her face showed no sign of that. She honestly looked desperate for his response. It brought a thousand warning bells in his head.

Narrowing his eyes in confusion, Katsuki dropped his voice lower, now overly concerned for the girl. "Why are you saying that like you weren't before? You've always been my idiot sister, or did you forget that? Your brain really must be broken."

Amari shook her head while wiping another tear, her voice replying raspy and small. "You're not ashamed?"

Shaking his head, Bakugo groaned back. "You aren't listening to me brat. How could I be ashamed when I have one of the most badass sisters out there? Honestly, it's no surprise though because you are a Bakugo, therefore the strongest of them all, but still not as strong as me so don't even try."

It took a moment to soak in all his words before Amari couldn't stop her tears, allowing them to pool down her face all at once. All throughout her entire life, she had wanted to hear those words, to be able to proudly call herself a Bakugo, and now she had finally done it. She honestly didn't care anymore if those pills killed her. She had already completed her goal.

Smiling through her tears, she then raced forward, wrapping her arms around her brother aggressively before squeezing the life of him all at once. "Thank you, thank you thank you thank you Katsuki..!"

He jumped back at the actions, obviously not knowing how much this meant to the poor girl. She kind of looked like she had lost her sanity. "Hey, get off of me, you damn brat! What the hell are you doing?!"

But Amari was too happy to care, finally releasing him before running up to a random couple in the mall and shouting. "Hello, I'm Bakugo Amari, Katsuki's sister…."

Then she ran away from them before finding another family and shouting the same exact thing. "Hello, I'm Bakugo Amari, Katsuki's sister…"

Bakugo watched her display with embarrassment, already calling out to her. Maybe she actually did go insane. "Have you finally lost it? What are you even doing?"

Yet once again, she didn't hear, instead jumping to the edge of the railing and shouting down to the entire first floor. She couldn't help it, she was too happy to contain herself. "HELLO, I'M BAKUGO AMARI AND I'M KAZUKI'S SISTER!"

Her brothers eyes widened at this, pulling her down from the railing and ignoring the stares in the back of his head. Then he covered her mouth roughly, causing her to stop. "What are you even doing?! Stop acting like an idiot and calm down damn it! Everyone's staring."

Nodding her head in acceptance, Bakugo let go only for her to giggle like a little school girl, obviously not able to contain her happiness. "Sorry, I'm just so happy! This is the best day of my life. Thank you Katsuki."

Bakugo just shook his head in disappointment when another voice caused them to stop. "Hey Bakugo and Amari! What are you guys doing here?"

Turning to the presence, she smiled when she recognized Mina, Uraraka, Denki, and a couple other students behind her. "Hey everyone, what a surprise. Katsuki and I were just buying stuff for the training camp. Can never be too early."

It seemed that's what everyone else was doing as well, shortly making the executive decision to join together as one big group, even though Bakugo wasn't really all that interested in the idea.

Suddenly, Amari's stomach growled as she realized she didn't have lunch yet, already eyeing the food court a couple steps away. "I'll be right back. I'm going to get one of those big pretzels before we start."

They all nodded their heads except for Bakugo who grabbed her arm, stopping her movements all at once. "Hey, did you forget? Mom said she'd kill me if I left you alone."

Her mother was still shaken up about Hosu which was understandable but this was only a mall, and they thing she hated most of all was being babied.

Waving her hand away, Amari smirked. "I'll be fine. The only thing I have to watch out for here is diabetes. It will only be a minute."

She took another step away before ignoring Katsuki's protests and heading down the stairs towards the food court.

Little did she know what she was about to face once she got there…


Okay okay okay I know I said this was the last chapter of S2 but there will be one more. It's just been awhile and I felt like I had to split the two to give you all content as I know I've been slacking. This chapter was really hard to write though as it was so big for Katsuki and Amari.

So, we see that things are turning around yet they still aren't perfect. Amari's warped personality says that she's earned her brothers respect because of her quirk when we all know that's not the case, as these things don't need to be earned. She still needs to find that out.

Next chapter: Now we have Shigaraki.
