"Hurry up or we're gonna miss the pageant!!!" Order Mineta to the rest of his classmates. Majority of the class were cleaning the gym area while the band member's were putting away speakers and instruments with the assistance of Urarakas quirk.

Once done Tsuyu turned to her and asked "Wasn't Eri going to come to the festival today?"

Uraraka nodded as she sat down on the stage to look at her friend "Yeah. She's with Mirio and Deku. I'm supposed to join up with them when we're done cleaning here."

"Who's Deku?" Asked Mina as she walked by filling a garbage bag with Ojiro.

Uraraka blushes and shook her head "I meant uh Izuku wait no I meant Midoriya. Eri called him Deku and it kinda stuck when talking with her."

Mina glanced at her and began to smirk devilishly "You know I couldn't help but notice that the two of you have been on a first name bases since he started here. Is there something going on between you two?" She asked in a teasing manner.

Urarakas eyes widened at the accusation "What?! No. It's just that since the camp we've had a connection and I needed to save him. That's all."

Tsuyu put a finger to her chin in thought "True we all heard that story. But he's safe now and fine. Yet you look at him the same way I've seen Kendo look at Kirishima lately."

"I DO NOT!!!" She squealed in denial

"Come on leave her alone. And what did you mean about Kendo and Kirishima? I haven't noticed anything between them." Voiced Ojiro

Mina waved him off "That's because as a male you lack female intuition. And I'm glad I'm not the only one who's noticed. Those two are like full on avoiding one another it's crazy."

"Who's avoiding each other?" Asked Kirishima walking towards the group with Kaminari. Mina's eyes widened at almost getting caught gossiping about the hardening hero in training.

She quickly took up a "casual" grin and answered "oh uh we're talking about uh... tokoyami and... and um that setsuna chick from 1B."

Kaminari tilted his head in confusion "what? No way. I pictured Tokoyami more into that Yanagi girl. Since she's got the whole emo ghost look going for her."

"Oh uh yeah I meant her. I'm always terrible with remembering names hahaha." Laughed Mina nervously

Uraraka rolled her eyes and stood up "I'll catch you guys at the pageant. I'm going to find Eri and the others." She spoke walking out of the gym.

"50 bucks says you just started making her question her feelings for Midoriya." Spoke Tsuyu turningbti Mina.

Mina crossed her arms "now why would I take a bet that i know I'll lose?"

Tsuyu simply shrugged "it was worth a try."

Eri stood between both Izuku and Mirio as she glanced around at all that was displayed at the festival. The boys waited patiently to see what the girl wanted to do until Uraraka ran up to them "Hey guys. Sorry I'm late"

Eri instantly got excited seeing her "Uravity! Your music was so wow! All the boys were like Da da da da. And then they other boy had a funny little stick and he was blowing into it making a doooooowwwwwww sound. Then and then everyone was singing with you. Lemillion and Deku were singing and then I was sing and it was soooo much fun!"

Uraraka felt her heart swell with warmth as the little girl excitedly explained things from her view. But what really made both the boys and Urarakas heart melt was the sweet pure smile that the girl wore.

Uraraka knelt down and smiled at the white haired child "well I'm glad you had fun Eri. But we still got so much to see and do." She spoke as she gently held the girls hand and both began exploring with the two boys following.

They had a few minutes before the pageant started and the small group found themselves in a line up to ride a Ferris wheel. The wheel only had small carriages that could only take two at a time. Eri and Mirio went on first with Izuku and Ochako riding the following one.

The two sat in an awkward silence as the rode around. Ochakos mind was wandering around as she caught glances at Izuku "I like him but I don't like like him... do I? Sure he's kind and incredibly brave. And cute with those freckles and his untamed hair... those eyes...AHHH WHY AM I THINKING LIKE THAT!" She screamed internally.

"You guys were amazing on stage." Spoke Izuku breaking the silence.

"Thanks. But everyone else did all the work I just sang" she replied rubbing the back of her head.

"Well I think your sing was amazing. And I think Eri would agree." Said Izuku with a kind smile.

Ochako looked up at him seeing the smile "Oh damn him!" She looked up from his lips to his eyes where emerald met brown. They stared at each other for a few moments before both began to blush and look away from each other.

Izuku glanced at the world beneath them "It's quiet an impressive view up here isn't it

Ochako followed his gaze and looked out to the festival and UA smiling "yes it is."

After the Ferris wheel ride the four found themselves looking at the items developed by the support department. Hatesume was tinkering around and caught a glimpse of Uraraka and called her out "Ah Uraraka! Just in time."

The four approached the made scientists inventor. Uraraka asked "In time for what?"

"I had just completed creating that little request item you wanted." Answered Mei as she pulled out an ear piece similar to the one she had Uraraka test before. Uraraka took and looked at it "this is it? Is it safe?"

"Yes yes yes" insisted Mei. Uraraka turned and knelt down infront of Eri "I'm just gonna put this in your ear okay?"

Eri looked at her with great confusion but nodded okay. Uraraka gently placed it in her ear "Now whenever you feel scared or in danger just tap the side okay? Try it out."

Eri then reached up and tapped it and gasped in surprise as she was suddenly wearing a helmet that fits her perfectly and looked exactly like the one Uraraka had during the raid.

Izuku stared on in awe "that's... so cool!"

Mirio simply nodded in agreement until he noticed the time "Oh fiddle sticks we better go if we wanna see Nejire and Kendo in the pageant."

Uraraka gasped at the time "Oh geez you're right. Thanks Mei but we gotta go."

Mei didn't even get a word in as the four left ignoring her "huh... so that's how that feels."

Despite all of 1A being in the crowd to support Kendo she didn't take out the top spot at the pageant. But she couldn't complain as she honestly felt that Nejire was more deserving of it.

As her classmates congratulated her and showed her support she found her self caught face to face with Kirishima "H-Hi."

"Hey... uh you um look amazing." Spoke Kirishima shyly as a blush made itself present on his face.

Kendo also developed a blush of her own and avoided eye contact from him "th-thanks."

They boys watched the conversation in confusion. Except for Kaminari who looked like a light bulb went off in his head as realisation struck him. The girls however were either grinning or smirking at the interaction between the two "soooo cuuuute" whispered Tooru.

"Well it's getting late. Unfortunately we need to take you back to the hospital." Said Mirio to Eri apologetically.

Eri pouted slightly but a smile soon returned "okay. I had so much fun."

"Wait!" Called out Izuku making everyone turn to him in surprise at his sudden outburst. "Follow me to the dorms I have something for Eri."

Mirio, Uraraka and Eri followed Izuku to his dorms and waited outside for him as he entered. Seconds later he comes out holding candy apples. Mirio instantly face palmed himself "Ah of course! I almost forgot we got you the ingredients to make those."

Izuku knelt down and held one out for Eri "Here you go. I was told that you wanted to try one."

Eri looked between Izuku and the candy apple and reached out to take it. She sniffed it curiously and nervously took a bite. Her eyes widened and her mouth drooled as another smile made its self known to her face as her tastes buds began to become overwhelmed with the sweetness and tastiness of the homemade treat.

As she eagerly took another bite izuku sighed in relief handing one each to Mirio and Ochako. As the four of them began to enjoy the treat made by Izuku a certain dark shadow user couldn't help the feeling that he was missing out on a tasty sweet and cursed to himself for not being able to savour his sweet tooth.

Mirio and Eri soon began waving goodbye to meet up with Aizawa at the entrance. As the smiling child waved goodbye gripping her candy apple Ochako glanced towards Izuku who was waving good by smiling warmly and purely.

Ochako couldn't help but smile just the same and didn't bother to question it in her mind and just enjoy the moment of peace while it was there.

Shigaraki scratched his neck in annoyance as he continued watching the same clip from the UA festival performance by 1A. He couldn't work out what annoyed him more. The fact that the brunette brat was stealing the show or the fact he could see the person he once considered an Ally standing amongst those wanna be heroes in the crowd like he was one of them.

"I brought him into the league with open arms. And as soon as Master gives him a few quirks he turns his back on us and starts playing hero... that really pisses me off." He ranted with complete annoyance.

He then turned to Compress "what's the status of our members out in the field?"

"I haven't heard word from Dabi. But I'm just receiving a phone call from Toga as we speak." Answered compress.

"Put her on loud speaker."

xxxxxxxxxxx

Toga hid in the shadows watching her prey. Studying their movements and behaviour aswell as their personality. "You're on loud speaker my dear with myself and Shigaraki." Spoke Compress on the other end of the phone.

"How's your progress?" Came through Shigaraki's voice.

"I've found her. Surprisingly easy." Answered Toga

"Good. For now just observe her and don't strike til I tell you to. For this to work we need to do everything just right." Spoke Shigaraki in a calm manner.

"And if this works we'll get Izuku back right?" Asked Toga with hope and excitement

"That's the idea. We'll keep in touch." Was the last thing Shigaraki said before hanging up.

Toga then pocketed her phone and went back to watching her prey. She couldn't help but smile at the similarities between her target and her dreamy Izuku. Such as the hair and eyes.

In that moment and for a while afterwards no one but the league itself would know that Inko Midoriya was in their sights.

(A/N: I'm just gonna leave that at that... but on a random note for those who would go look for the music featured in this fic I have created a playlist on Spotify called Ninth Inheritor Uraraka.

Someone did guess the songs except one they missed. Anyways PLUS ULTRA!!!)
