The computer flashed images of the news coverage from Japan that one of her friends she made in London had sent her a link to, knowing she was from Japan. The video is of what everyone was calling "All Might's Fall" but that isn't what caught Yuki's eye. In the background of all this she could see her childhood friends. Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo. Confusion and concern flashed through her.
Doing more research on the topic, it turns out Bakugo had been kidnapped and All Might was the one who saved him. Yuki felt her stomach turning, feeling sick. She saw that he was fine. He had been rescued. That didn't matter to her. What mattered was that she hadn't been there.
Later that night, her dad came home to her sitting at the kitchen table, pouring over all the information she could get about the incident. "Yuki?" Akito Hajime, also know as UK's number one Pro-Hero FlashBang, asked his daughter, her face ghostly pale. She turned to her father, silently showing him the reports and news coverage she found.
He automatically understood, having it been just them for so long. She wanted to go home. Akito nodded and went to his home office to make the calls and pull the strings.
Two days later, they were all packed and a house in Japan waited for them. U.A. had accepted Yuki on recommendation, her transcript from the top hero Highschool in the UK being enough for them happily transfer her into class 1-A as Akito had requested.
It all felt easy, and that made Yuki nervous. Akito said it was because he was a top ranking pro. Things like this were easy for him. She would be arriving in Japan a week before school started, so she should have plenty of time to relax and get things in order.
When they landed, Akito revealed to Yuki that she would be staying in the dorms so there was no need for her to unpack. He would do that for her at home. She needed to worry about separating what she wanted to go to the dorms and what she wanted to stay home, and if she needed anything then they'd go get it.
"Hey dad! We should probably get me some new bed sheets and stuff for the dorms!" Yuki called to her dad from upstairs, pulling her long red hair up into a ponytail as she looked around the room stacked full of boxes. A muffled reply came from the kitchen that she just assumed was an agreement.
A few minutes she could hear her dad thundering up the stairs, his footsteps as heavy as ever. "I'll be going to get you some things soon. Do you want to tag along?" Akito asked, leaning against his daughter's bedroom doorframe. Yuki was practically a smaller, female version of her father. From the red hair to the amber eyes. The only thing she didn't fully get from him was her quirk.
"Sure. I don't see why not. I've got half of what I need to go to the dorms pushed to the side." Yuki shrugged, following her father down the stairs. "We could make a day of it." He nodded, happy to spend some time with her before she leaves.
She had ended up with more than she expected for her dorm. Her dad had decided to spoil her and buy her anything and everything that caught her eye, including clothes. Yuki wasn't going to complain though. They were well off enough that it didn't really matter as long as it wasn't a daily thing.
"You're unbelievable." Yuki rolled her eyes at her dad's procrastination. He had forgotten to order her unit so it wouldn't be arriving until a few days after school started. Akito just shrugged, going to put up the bags of everything they had bought.
She flopped onto her stomach on the couch of the still mainly bare family room. She laid there, thinking of the two reasons she was there. How would they react to seeing her? It felt like forever since they last had seen each other but she had stayed in contact with both boys, texting and calling every chance she could.
She had been the peacekeeper between the two. They were always fighting when she wasn't around. Yuki was hopeful that they would stop once she was back.
It should be interesting.
Today was the day. She would be moving into the dorms. She had aced the academic and physical tests she took the day after arriving in Japan that U.A. asked her to take as a precaution to her enrollment. It was all falling into place.
Yuki decided to go for comfort today, wearing some simple black skinny jeans and a plain white tshirt. She pulled on a baseball cap with her dad's Pro-Hero logo, threw her purse over her shoulder and slipped on her black converse. "I'm leaving!" She called to her father who was in his office.
"See you around kid." Akito smirked, stepping out of his office and giving her a hug. She nodded and promised to call when she was settled in. It took what she felt like was forever for her to be able to leave. Today was the day.
"On top of everything, we will have a new student joining us. Seems like she's running late." Aizawa droned in an apathetic tone to the class of 1-A as they stood outside the dorms. Whispers ran through the teenagers, speculating who it could be.
Bakugo was one of the few that could care less. He figured it was someone stuck up that he would end up hating. As long as they stood out of his way, it'd be fine.
Midoriya fidgeted, messing with his fingers, nervous about meeting new people. Would they be nice? Would he make a new friend? He hoped they would get along.
"Sorry I'm late!" Yuki called to Aizawa as she rounded the corner, a bright smile on her face. Bakugo's eyes widened, knowing that voice. Midoriya acted without even thinking, the voice as familiar to him as his own. He turned towards her, dashing at her and attacking her in a hug around her waist, tears streaming down his face, knocking them both to the ground.
Everyone watched, shocked, curious, and one person a little jealous, as Midoriya hugged the girl while crying incoherently. It's as if he held onto her for life, and he felt like he was too. It had been to long. He had missed her so much. He buried his face into her stomach as she gave out a hearty laugh.
"Missed you too, Zuzu." Yuki grinned, her eyes holding a happiness that he had missed. As she ran her manicured hands through his hair like she used to, the class started to watch in fear as Bakugo slowly walked towards the duo. Hushed whispers about who she was passed around, prayers for her safety from Bakugo rang out.
Everyone in the class watched in terror and Bakugo reached them and slowly bent down to inspect her. He reached out and flicked her gently on the forehead with a soft smile on his face, surprising everyone but the duo. "Brat. Long time no see." He stood straight, offering her his hand.
Yuki took it, pulling Midoriya up with her. "Yeah, you rat. It has been." She grinned. The trio were completely unaware of their surroundings, making everyone else even more curious. Aizawa cleared his throat, bringing everyone's attention to him, making them turn to him. Midoriya kept ahold of her, to afraid to let go just yet.
"Now if the reunion is over." He droned and started going over the basics. Once he was done, he walked off without another word, leaving them to themselves. Everyone turned to the trio in the back, Midoriya still hanging off Yuki almost comically at this point.
They all stared at her, waiting for her to introduce herself. "Hey. I'm Yuki Hajime." She grinned, unsure of what was about to happen. "I'm Eijirou Kirishima!" A guy with spiked up red hair introduced himself, leading to everyone introducing themselves. Confusion still hung in the air though.
"How do you know Deku?" A brunette who had introduced herself as Uraraka asked, trying to push away her jealousy. She didn't even know this girl. "Oh! We were childhood friends. All three of us!" Yuki gestured between her, Midoriya and Bakugo. "My dad and I moved away before middle school and we recently moved back." Yuki smiled, Bakugo rolling his eyes, uninterested in things he already knew.
"Why did you move back?" Yaoyorozu asked, curious about this girl who transferred mid-year. "To marry Zuzu of course!" Yuki said so confidently that everyone gasped. Everyone but Bakugo who was laughing maniacally and Midoriya who had finally let go over to to cover his face. "Did you really have to bring that up?" Midoriya groaned, his face bright red behind his hands.
Yuki joined Bakugo in cackling, them leaning on each other while Midoriya calmed himself. "I don't get it." Kirishima mumbled. "It's an inside joke about something Zuzu said a long time ago. I've just never let it go." Yuki grinned, having calmed herself down while Bakugo's shoulders were shaking from quiet laughter behind her.
Midoriya looked at her between his fingers, pouting. Uraraka was definitely jealous now. "Can we just go get everything put away and moved in?" Midoriya squeaked, definitely embarrassed by Yuki. The feral grin she gave him, mischief sparkling in her eyes, it all reminded him of that day long ago.
She was leaving that day. Moving away for what they thought was good. "When we see each other again, I'll be the number one hero!" Midoriya had declared as they said goodbye. "I'm looking forward to it!" She had told him, hugging him tightly, Bakugo watching in the background, already having said his goodbye. If Midoriya had just kept his mouth shut for a little longer. As she turned away he blurted out what he should have kept to himself.
"I'll marry you. The next time I see you, we'll get married!" He had shouted after her. Midoriya had meant it innocently then, not really knowing much about romance or anything marriage entailed. He only knew he wanted to spend every day with his best friend. She had laughed and nodded, leaving the two behind with their bitter tears.
It seemed like forever ago. She had changed so much. She wasn't shorter than them and lanky. Yuki was now taller than Midoriya, almost as tall as Bakugo, and had filled out nicely. She was still them same at her core though, and that's what the two loved about her.
Yuki looked around her dorm room. Her blush colored bedding and pillows, her fairy lights above the bed, the pictures above her desk that displayed her with all her friends from London and her dad. All of it made the dorm room feel like home. She even had a shelf on one of her bookshelves cleaned out for all the All Might merchandise that Midoriya had sent her over the years and the CDs that Bakugo had sent her too.
She stretched her muscles out, happy with the setup. Yuki decided to go out and interact with everyone else. Making new friends would be good for her. Most of the class had gathered in the common room, lounging around on the couches and chairs.
As she reached the group she heard one of the girls suggest going around and looking at everyone's rooms. "Can we see your room too?" Asui asked, wanting to get to know the girl better. "Sure." Yuki shrugged, hoping this would be a bonding experience. They went around to almost everyone's room, Yuki getting to know everyone better, even learning some of their quirks.
When they got to Yuki's room, they were all pleasantly surprised. They didn't think she would have these soft colors decorating the room, everything looking sentimental and relaxing. The girls other than Uraraka relaxed, glad that her bedroom wasn't incredibly wild.
Yuki got along with everyone so far, even Uraraka begrudgingly admitted that she was nice. She was happy that everyone liked her. By the end of the day, everyone was exhausted. Food was eaten in rooms and everyone went to bed early.
It was a good day. Yuki crawled into bed happy and hopeful. She liked it here. Everyone was nice, her two best friends were here, and it was the top hero school in the world. She couldn't be happier.
