Hanataro's Thoughts

*Sound Effects*


Chapter 11- Internship Week

"I can't believe we won't see each other for a whole week!"

Hanatro Kino was trying hiss bet not to pass out from the lack of oxygen to his brain as the air was being cut off by the death grip his friend/class mate called a hug.

It was internship week for all the department of U.A. High school with the except of those students in the general education program (but they got the school to themselves so they didn't mind it.)

"Taro's spending five days in the mountains not going off to war," said Kato adding his two cents without looking up from his hand-held game console.

Sakura barely loosened her grip on Taro as she let him breath.

"Why couldn't you pick the same office as me? Is it something I said or did? Are yo worried that people are going to only be paying attention to me, and that I would let all the attention go to my ego and ditch you. I thought we were besties, BFFS, sisters before misters, ovaries before bovaries, ride or die, the wind beneath my metaphorical wings, the-"

"It's nothing like that Sakura, really. Something sort of came up and I had to intern with the Wild, Wild Pussycats."

FLASHBACK

"Hanataro Kino, I hear congratulations are in order," Greeted the Man in the Moon.

The day before Taro had received a text from the ethereal being asking for the reincarnated soul to meet with him at one of their designating meeting spots, an old band stand at a park near Taro's current residence.

"You mean the whole sports festival tournament thing, I honestly didn't even want to participate to begin with, let alone actually place."

"Nonsense you won a medal, this could give your career a real boost."

Rolling his eyes Taro took a seat next to the old man. "Not this again."

"Yes, this again. You need to get serious about becoming a superhero. Need I remind you that you signed a contract."

Every time the two met, the Man in the Moon would remind Taro of the package deal he signed in order to get a second chance at living, and each time Hanataro would somehow manage to get an extension on holding up his end of the deal.

"Next week you're class will be doing week long internship," The Man in the Moon stated.

"Yeah I heard, pretty much everyone except the general studies kids will have to do one."

At U.A. High school with the exceptions of the general studies department most of the students were expected to participate in some sort of apprenticeship or work study. Those in the department of heroes would shadow professional heroes. The Hero Support department were usually sent to labs and design studios. As for the business students, options were less restricted when it came to where they could go.

"What about it?" asked Taro

"You need to do your internship with the Wild, Wild Pussycats. It's imperative to your personal narrative you do so," answered the Man in the Moon.

"The wild, wild pussycats?"

"Yes, they're a team of four, nice kids, they specialize in mountain rescues."

"Yeah, I know they've been around for a while," taro said familiar with the cat-themed pros.

"Now that that's all settled, let's forget all our troubles with a big bowl of strawberry ice cream," The old man offered as he got down from the bench he previously occupied.

Taro in turn remained seated, "And if I say no?"

"Then you won't get any ice cream."

"I'm on a diet."

"Then you won't get this calendar of Hot Australian fire fighter holding puppies in a casual setting," the Man in the Moon said as he summoned into possession a wall calendar.

"No thanks, I'm more into New Zealanders ."

"Well then, I guess some other lucky soul will be getting these special preview test screening tickets for the new Cosmic Wars movie."

"Did you say Sta-"

"No! I said Cosmic Wars, which is in no way affiliated with any other franchises that may or may not be set in a Star system far, far away!"

"okay, okay. No need to get so defenses about it."

"Sorry but you never know who might be listening. Like those ducks over there," the moon man pointed to a group of ducks eating food left to them by a couple of little old ladies.

"I don' think those birds care what we're talking about," Taro said rolling his eyes.

"Wait, do ducks have ears? They must have them, otherwise how would they hear other ducks…"

Clearing his throat to get the miniature man's attention, Taro asked, "In any case, about those tickets. I suppose if I could consider rethinking my choice of where to complete my internship."

Gleefully Taro accepted the movie tickets from the Man in the Moon, putting off any concerns about his internship for the next couple of hours.

"This says the screening starts in thirty minutes, I won't have time to dress up. Maybe I can luck out and find a t-shirt on the way there."

"Allow me," offered the Man in the Moon with a snap of his fingers.

Despite having no connection to the famous franchise (as the Man in the Moon claimed) Taro found himself dressed in a white turtle necked dress with a little hoodie and his hair in two buns on the each side of his head.

"Personally I would have gone for the rebel pilot look but I suppose this works too," Said Taro thanking the Moon Man.

"I think you make a pretty Princess Leela," complemented the miniature being.

"Don't you mean Princess Lei-"

"No!"

Despite his enthusiasm for the event of that afternoon, fate had other plans for Taro when the screening was interrupted by a cartoonish super villain named 'The Collector' who had come to steal the unseen film reel. On his way out the theater, The Collector had spotted Taro and had decided to take the teen as well.

"Care for a rolo sweet Leela?" the Collector asked as he offered a piece of candy to the tied up teen

"Let me go you lunatic! I keep telling you I'm not Leela! My name's Hanataro Kino!"

"Oh please, I'm not insane. I simply wish to take you to my lair and turn you into an action figure to place among my Cosmic Wars collection."

What followed was all out brawl between The Collector, with his magnetic quirk, and no less than three pro-heroes and an intern. Taro had been lucky that the incident at the theater had not only left him unscathed but had attracted the attention of Eraser Head (who normally didn't work that early), Fat Gum, and another hero who looked suspiciously like a famous Marvel © web slinger.

The rest of that night was something Taro had tried to repress.

END FLASHBACK

"If you three hens are done clucking, can we get moving?"

"Sure Tami, just want to get in one last squeeze," Sakura said hugging Taro once more before letting go.

Rather than being paired with Taro for the internship program, Sakura was partnered with the blind student who was more than happy to take a spot with the prestigious big city firm even if it meant spending time with the talkative classmate.

Giving Hanataro one final squeeze, the two girl went to the platform indicated on their ticket.

The next person to approach Taro was class president Hiziaya.

"Not to worry Ms. Kino ,you just watch I'll return from this internship one step closer to becoming the man you deserve my sweet angel. I won't concede to Midoriya just yet."

"Midoriya?"

Having remained unaware to the confrontation between the class president of 1-J and the green haired boy from Class 1-A, Hanataro had no idea as to what her classmate wanted with the other student.

"See you in a week Ms. Kino," Hizaya bid farewell before blowing a kiss to Taro as he left him alone.

I really got to find me some boring classmates.

+++++Miss Manager+++++

Two train rides and one bus ride later…

"Hello? Anybody here? I'm Hanataro Kino, the new intern," he called out toward the vast forest before taking a seat atop his roller bag..

Taro had been told that someone from the hero team would be picking him up from the bus stop. It was a good twenty minutes before a large black car approached.

"Sorry for the wait," said a female voice.

The car doors popped open as Four adults in hero costumes came out of the vehicle, each wearing different colored variations of the same hero costume accessorized with feline touches suiting their team's name.

"Rock on with these sparkling gazes!"

"Stingingly cute and catlike!"

"Roll call!"

"Pixie-Bob!" introduced the one in the light-blue outfit.

"Tiger!" the one in the brown version called out.

"Ragdoll!" said the one in yellow.

"And Mandalay!" finished the woman in the red costume.

"We're the Wild, Wild Pussycats!" all four cheered in unison as the positioned themselves in heroic poses.

Taro clapped enthusiastically at what even he had to admit was an impressive introduction, on;y stopping when he noticed a fifth person glaring at him.

"Who's the kid?" Taro asked having noticed the young boy that stepped out of the vehicle during the team's introduction.

"That's Kota, my nephew" answered Mandalay."Kota say hello to Hanataro, our new intern."

Despite the face Kota was making at him, Taro greeted the child none the less. "Hey, how's it going?"

"We don't need some wanna be hero around here," grumbled the boy with a cold expression.

Approaching Hanataro, it looked like Kota was trying to size-up the newcomer. Once the child got close enough, he flipped Taro's uniform skirt, exposing Taro's underwear much to the brunette's embarrassment before running back to the waiting vehicle. Only looking back to stick his tongue out as he climbed back into the car.

"Why you…! Get back here you little pervert!" Taro shouted his face red from anger and humiliation.

"He must really like you, he doesn't usually talk to strangers," said Pixie-Bob grabbing hold of Taro before he could go after the child.

"What's that kids deal?!"

"He lost his parents a couple years ago, they were heroes who died in the line of duty," explained Mandalay before apologizing for her nephew's behavior resulting from the death of her cousin.

"Since then he's been opposed to being around any heroes," added Tiger.

That certainly explains the cold greeting. He probably hear the name U.A. High School and thinks hero.

"It a reason we were so hesitant to part of the internship program this year," added Pixie-Bob

"Good thing I'm a business student then," said Taro as he gathered his belongings.

"Business student?" questioned Ragdoll

Followed by Tiger, " You mean to tell us you're not from the department of Heroes?"

"Nope, I'm from Management."

"Wild, Wild Pussycat huddle!"

The four heroes excused themselves as they huddled to discuss the mix-up.

"We talked it over and since you traveled all this way, We would feel bad if you left without learning anything from your time here."

After smoothing out a couple of details the team was ready to roll with their new intern.

The team for the most part did share the responsibility of running their head quarters among the four of them, of course they did have an accountant to help balance the budget and file their taxes, but was otherwise up to the task of showing the student how to run a hero agency.

"Welcome to the Wild, Wild Pussycat team!" cheered Ragdoll.

Part of the welcome included a quick tour of the area as they drove to the team's headquarters and rescue center.

"We own all this land and a couple of the mountains as well," said Mandalay.

"Occasionally we do have hikers and the like wander into the area, but they tend to be harmless and just people who get lost," Tiger added.

"Recently there have been more people around, right Ragdoll," confirmed Pixie-Bob.

Radoll, the hero in the yellow uniform nodded. "Yep, my quirk lets me monitor how many people are in the area. So if you ever get lost just call and I'll find you."

"I think I'll be fine, I'm more of an indoor type to begin with," Taro told the group before they continued to fill him in on what was in store for the next few days.

+++++Miss Manager+++++

Despite the misunderstanding on the first day, the team of four had managed to impart some knowledge when it came to the business side of running a hero agency. Tiger and Mandalay had even given Taro a couple of pointers when it came to self-defense pointing out that regardless of whether or not one is fighting criminals it never hurts to know how to protect yourself and keep in shape.

On the fourth day the routine shifted. That afternoon a series of tremors was reported in a nearby area along with news of mud slides. Specializing in mountain terrain rescues the Wild, Wild Pussycats and their support staff were called away to assist in finding any hikers and civilians that may have been in need of rescue.

"Taro? You in here?"

"I'm at the computer desk," Taro called from the main office.

Mandalay approached Hanataro. This would be Taro's first time without a supervising adult at the Pussycats Headquarters as all available hands were asked to help.

"Can you watch Kota while we're gone?"

"Sometimes these situations can take all day and night," explained Ragdoll as she came to get Mandalay.

"Um, Sure. I guess I can keep an eye on him. Anything special I should know?" Taro inquired.

After their initial meeting Kota tended to avoid Taro, only seeing each other at breakfast and dinner. And even then the child tended to ignore the management student.

"He usually spends this time of day playing outside and is back by diner time. Make sure he eats his vegetables and has a bath before he goes to sleep," instructed the pro-hero as she left to join her team.

Giving the two pros a quick wave,, Taro watch from the window as everyone left the vicinity before returning to his work on the computer.

The growl of his stomach alerted Taro to the time. Looking out the window the sun was starting to set. Getting up with a bit a of a stretch Taro headed towards the Dining hall finding all the tables empty.

"Hey Kota? You in here? It's time for dinner!"

Getting no response, Taro tried using the speaker system to call Kota to dinner. Waiting a long fifteen minutes, The brunette went outside to check if the kid was still outside. Grabbing a flash light and headed toward the surrounding forest.

"Kota! It's time to come in!"

The more time it took to search for the boy the more frustrated Taro was getting. Thinking it would be a good idea to let Mandalay know what was going on, he tried to send a text only to find he had no cell signal that deep into the woods.

"Seriously? My quirk is suppose to prevent stuff like this."

It's been an hour, shouldn't have I found him by now, I swear my quirk has been on the fritz lately. maybe the brat's already eating his dinner back at the center.

Ready to turn back, Taro was ready to leave the forest but was stopped by a loud crashing sound.

Don't do it Taro, walk away. If you go you'll only end up getting involved.

Despite trying to talk himself out of it, Hanataro headed towards the noise on the small chance that Kota was involved. The last thing he need was to get a bad mark on his record cause a child under his supervision broke an arm.

Laying low Taro glanced through shrubbery to look out on the scene before him. Several scary looking individuals holding automatic weapons and moving construction equipment were atop the mountain side.

"Great, I go looking for a five year old and instead stumble upon a bunch of criminals," he whispered to himself.

Even with the lack of a cell tower, Taro took his phone out of his pocket to utilize the still working camera.

Inside an old mine several men in construction gear were rolling barrels of clearly marked toxic waste into the abandoned mine. Taro managed to snap a few shots of the polluters illegally dumping the hazardous waste.

Switching from picture mode to video mode, Taro had even filmed the men committing the illegal act. It help that their leader wasn't being particularly quiet about their business.

"Once you're done with those barrels don't forget to throw the mouthy preschooler in there as well," their boss instructed.

Mouthy preschooler? They must be mean Kota.

Staying low to the ground, Taro managed to find Kota who had been tied and gagged. Signaling for the boy to remain quiet, Hanataro pulled out a Swiss army knife he had pocketed that he had been lucky to find along the mountain trial.

Working swiftly as he could Taro luckily managed to cut through the rope just before the henchmen came to collect Kota. Freed the boy took of the tape over the mouth before Taro indicated for the child to follow him as they were hidden by shrubbery

"Say your prayers junior, not that anyone will hear your cries for help."

"Hey! Where'd he go?" one of the man asked pointing to the cut rope in the spot where the4y had left their prisoner.

"Boss, it's the brat's escaped," alerted one of the henchmen.

"Don't just stand there you idiots go after the kid, and get rid of him," hissed their leader.

Five of the man's flunky went after Taro and Kota. Two on motorbikes, followed by the other three who ran after on foot.

Taro ran along the trail he had taken up the mountain while holding onto Kota's hand as the boy struggled to keep up with the taller teen.

"Do you even know where you're going?" Kota questioned.

"Look I know you don't like me, but just trust me on this. I'm lucky when it comes to never getting lost."

Reaching a large stream Taro found a way to get to the other side. Taro pushed Kota forward across a fallen log.

"Keep going down, and don't stop until you reach the mountain base. Oh Wait a second, take this and give it to the police, if you can get a signal call your aunt" he instructed handing Kota his cell phone with the photos. "I'll try to delay them."

"What if they catch you?" the boy questioned showing how worried he was despite himself.

"Don't worry about me; I've learned a couple of moves from the Pussycats."

Besides I took martial arts lessons. Granted it was years ago….

With another push Taro sent Kota ahead. Assured the boy wasn't looking back, Taro hurried to search around the stream for anything he could use against the henchmen.

Grabbing a couple of large rocks, Taro readied himself as the sound of the motorbikes grew louder. Standing on the trail, Taro aimed one of the rocks at one of the henchmen. Assisted by his luck quirk, the rock hit its target knocking the man of his motorbike.

Seeing his partner fall the second rider stopped to check if the other was alright. Distracted the second henchman failed to see Hanataro run up to tackle him off the bike causing both the flunky and Taro to fall sideway into the water.

The sound of water splashing alerted the three henchmen on foot to the location of their two colleagues.

"Quick they must be by the stream!"

In the stream Taro struggled against the henchman who was more than twice Taro's size. The man wrapped his hands around Taro's neck as he pushed the business student into the water. Taro scratched at his opponents face. Flinching from the stinging of a cut on his face the man loosened his grip.

Able to move Taro sat up able to knee the henchman in the groin before fully executing a forceful kick to the man's sensitive area.

While the man feel in pain, Hanataro waded his way back to solid ground, slowed down slightly by the weight of his wet clothes.

"What the hell did you do you bitch?!"

Taro barley managed to avoid getting hit in the face as he ducked down. Another henchman with a transformation quirk had changed his hands into hatchets with the intent of slicing Taro's face.

Luckily for Taro when he ducked he landed near a fallen branch that he could use to defend himself. The man with the hatchet hands brought the blades down with Taro blocking the attached arms with the branch. The same branch blocked three more attempts before the blade hit the branch cutting the wood in half.

Before the henchman could stand up straight, Taro maneuvered into a roundhouse kick, timing the kick to connect with his opponent the moment the hatchet man was at the same height at his foot.

Taking the hit head first the man fell back, giving Taro a chance to get away as he crossed the stream.

Please, please let Kota be safe. If he dies I bet I get blamed for it. They'll probably send me to some trauma therapist…god I hope I like my therapist.

Meanwhile the other two henchmen took off across the stream to chase after Kota while their partner fought with the girl.

Unlike the child who knew the mountain like the back of his hand, the two remaining flunkies had no knowledge of the hidden nooks and crannies of the forest.

"Come out little boy, we promised we won't hurt you."

"Yeah, we'll only kill you," said the second one prompting the two to laugh as each pulled out a knife.

Hiding up in a nearby tree, Kota was covered by the thick coverage of leaves. He couldn't help but think the worst, seeing the two men who had gotten past the intern. As he back up to press closer to the trunk a small branch broke catching the two henchmen's attention.

"Over there," one of the men pointed in the direction of the tree Kota hid atop of.

"Not so fast you M***** Fu*****!"

Both man turned around only for the henchman on the left to be pushed back by Taro. Grabbing hold of a tall branch, Taro swung forward pushing the henchman on the left with his legs. While the man fell backwards Taro barley landed on the ground before the branch broke from the teen's weight.

The last henchman charged in Hanataro's direction. Running away, Taro tried to lose his pursuer between the trees. Jumping between two tress, the smaller student fit in between the space, however the larger henchman found himself stuck unable to fit through or get himself out.

"Next time you might want to skip that second helping," Taro quipped.

"It's payback time!" The other henchman got back up and started running towards Taro, knife aimed towards Taro.

As he prepared himself for the attack a large mass fell from above knocking the man out.

"Kota!"

Rushing to the boy that had landed atop the bad man, Taro quickly picked the child up and checked him for injuries.

"That was very dangerous!...but thank you," Taro said bending down to the boys height.

The leader of the illegal dumper pointed his glock at the two. "That's enough! I've had with you two brats!"

Getting the feeling that his men would somehow screw up their task, the leader of the polluters grabbed his own motorcycle and followed the trail of knocked out bodies.

"Get behind me Kota," Taro warned as he moved to stand in front of the boy.

"This the end for yo-Ahh!"

A beast-like creature made of earth and rock tackled the bad man preventing him from further threatening the two minors.

"Are you two okay?" asked Tiger

Turning around Hanataro released the tension he carried in his shoulder when he was met with the sight of the four members of the Wild, Wild Pussycats along with several police officers.

"Yeah, you made it just in time."

"Aunt Shino!" Kota ran from behind Taro towards Mandalay.

"Ragdoll, did you find the other criminals?" asked Pixie-Bob.

"Already take care of," the hero in yellow answered.

While Pixie-Bob and Ragdoll went to gather the remaining henchmen, Tiger took charge of bringing the leader of the illegal dumpers into custody.

"Okay you two, we're going back to the base, while the authorities take care of things up here," instructed Mandalay.

Later that night…

Back at the mountain base after everything was resolved, Taro snuck into the cafeteria kitchen for something to drink only to find someone else had gotten to the kitchen first.

"Hello? Anybody in here?"

Rather than a verbal response Hanataro got his answer in the form of the sound of someone shuffling to put something back. From the height of the culprit Taro could tell it was Kota.

"Shouldn't you be asleep?" Taro teased appearing behind the guilty youngster.

"I was hungry."

"Can't say I'm surprised, getting tied up by a bunch of baddies and nearly killed can build up one's appetite. Hand me a cookie," Taro requested from the five year-old.

Kota complied as he handed a large cookie to the teen, who seemed to have some trouble swallowing.

"Does your throat hurt?" asked Kota pointing to the purple bruise on Taro's neck.

"Not really, but the paramedic said I should be alright in a few days. Don't tell me you're actually worried about me Kota, I thought you didn't like me," Taro teased taking the boy's cap.

"I don't like seeing people get hurt even if they're wanna be heroes….But that doesn't meant I like you or anything!" The kid said turning away hide his embarrassment from the teen.

"same here kid, same here," said Taro patting the kids head before placing the back on its owners head.

Despite Kota's words, the five-year old did appear to warm up to Hanataro in the final days of his internship, and even spoke to Taro a couple of times out of his own volition.

Finally the day arrived when it was time for Taro to leave.

"Can't you stay a couple extra days?"

We'll miss you."

"Nice job organizing the paperwork."

"Come back and visit us on your next break."

"Do you have everything? We should get going if you don't want to miss your bus," hurried Mandalay who had offered to drop Hanataro at the bus stop.

"Yeah I have everything, thanks for everything you guys," Taro said thanking the team of heroes.

"Good riddance, now I don't have to see you here anymore," said Kota, hiding his disappointment.

"I'll miss you too kid," Taro said offering his hand out for Kota to shake as a display that there was no hard feelings.

Rather than shake Taro's hand, Kota opted to flip the teens skirt once more before running away with a slightly less colds demeanor.
