1 - In the beginning
Class 1 - A was now starting their second year at UA and were class 2 - A. Coming back from their spring break the students noticed that there was a new member in their class. They couldn't really see who this new person was since they had a heavy hoodie on with the hood pulled up, obscuring their face from the class.
"As you're all wonder, no none of you are being moved to one of the other classes." their homeroom teacher Aizawa started off, making the class let out a sigh of relief. "While I know there's at least one of you that should be. Principal Nezu thought it would be best for Nico to join us, so she'll be moving into the dorms later today."
"Mr. Aizawa, what about her uniform?" Iida jumped to his feet, "Clearly her clothes are not the regulation uniform required."
Aizawa went to answer but the new student had her answer ready to go. With a phone that she had kept on quick draw for such reasons, "I have an exemption for a few months with I get to know everyone. Due to my quirk I have been subject to relentless torment, so I am allowed to dress as I am for a little while." a feminan voice came from the phone, it was clear that this wasn't the first time she had been asked.
"What's with the auto answers?" Bakugo sneered, "Don't you got a mouth?"
"That was rude, Kacchan." Izuku turned and scolded him, "Couldn't you try to be a little nicer."
Bakugo only scoffed and went to find his seat, and dropped down. Nico watched him go from under her hood. She hit the button with his answer, "Again because of my quirk, my real voice is a little strange, so I will be using my phone until I feel comfortable with talking." she held his gaze for a little longer before she was swarmed by the girls in the class, grateful to finally have another female student among their ranks.
"You guys can play twenty questions on your own time, right now it's time to head to the gym for some training." Aizawa broke up the giggling girls, "Drop your bags and go get changed. And Bakugo, you've been assigned to show the new girl around today so the two of you are excused from classes for today."
"Are you sure about that?" the voice from Nico's phone asked, "It seems to me that he's an ass." a few of the others laughed into their hands at the insult.
"No one else has the time, and Nezu said it had to be him." Aizawa said as the others dropped off their bags, leaving the seat right behind Bakugo open. "Drop you bag and get going, the school is big and you only have today to get the layout."
"This is bullshit, why does it have to be me?" Bakugo slammed his hands in the desk as he got up, "Why can't one of the clucking hens take her around, I've got better things to do."
"I'd much prefer that over you," Nico continued her assault, "You're just a pompis over inflated hot air bag who too full of himself." even though no one could see her face they could tell she was glaring daggers at him.
"All this coming from a walking pile of clothes. I bet I could take you any day of the week." Bakugo boasted as he stood over her, it was only a four inch difference between them but he tried to use it to his advantage.
"I can kick your sorry ass into next year," Nico challenged, "Can we have a space tonight after dinner?" all eyes turned to Aizawa, who looked at them with a cold stare.
"If it will get you out of my classroom. But it will only be the two of them and anyone I catch trying to sneak out will get three weeks of detention."
"Tch, fine. Let's go freak, I've got better places to be." Bakugo pushed through the crowd that had gathered.
"Midoriya?" Nico tapped Izuku and the shoulder, "Is he always such a dickweed about everything?" she noticed that he was a little amazed with her.
"Kacchan can be a little rough around the edges, but he'll warm up to you eventually. If you want I can show you around later, I know Kacchan will cut things short." Izuku gave her a smile, "And you can call me by my name if you want."
"Do you mind if I shorten it? How's Izu sound?" she offered and he nodded.
"I'd like that," Izuku said as Bakugo came back and dragged her off. "I guess we'll see you later."
"Alright freak, last stop." Bakugo said as he stopped outside the dorm, "Wander around for all I care, you got me out of classes so I should thank you."
"Hey asshole, care to tell me what your problem with me is?" Nico demanded, using her phone. "You don't even know me and yet you already know that you don't like me." she got in his face, catching him off guard.
He was flustered for half a heart beat before giving her back the attitude, "Because I don't trust freaks who hide their faces." he reached for her hood but she slapped his hand before he could touch the fabric.
"You will not dare touch me, or you won't have a hand to scratch your ass with." she warned him, "As for our fight, I'll get Aizawa to bring you to me." she turned her back on him to go unpack her room.
"Don't you worry, but you'll be sorry you picked a fight with me." he shouted as she flipped him off before the door closed behind her. Damned freak, why the hell am I worked up over nothing. He stood outside just watching the door. Fuck it, I'm going to take a nap. I'm so done with people for now.
He went in and saw the luggage cart loaded with a bunch of small boxes, but no sign of the hooded freak. "Snooping through a lady's belongings now, how classy." he spun to see Nico bringing down an empty cart, "Either offer to help me or move the hell out of my way."
"Tch," he scoffed letting her pass, "You yell at me about having a bad attitude but you're being a total bitch."
"Treat others as you want to be treated." she quoted, "You started being nasty to me first, while Izu on the other hand offered to make up for the lack of tour he seemed to know would happen." she watched him flinch at the mention of Izuku.
"Damn that Deku, shouldn't be talking about me like that." he muttered as she parked the empty cart out of the way. "What the hell does he know, sticking his nose in where it doesn't belong."
"Should have known you'd be mean to him too." Nico let out a real laugh, catching Bakugo off guard. It was only for a short time but he wanted to know what her voice actually sounded like. "How is it someone hasn't killed you yet?"
Bakugo ignored her comment and went to get on the elevator with her, and they both reached for the fourth floor button. "You have got to be kidding me, we're on the same floor." Nico snapped as they went up to their floor, "I better not find you trying to sneak in to snoop."
"Please, like I'd want to snoop through your crap." he flipped open a random box on the top, instantly regretting doing it.
"So you're pantie thief too, good to know." she slapped his hand away before closing the box as they got off. "I'll have to make sure to trap my room to keep you out." they watched each other through the windows as the went to their room.
"I ain't a pantie thief." Bakugo shouted as Nico flipped him off again, "and even if I was, I wouldn't be interested in yours." they slammed their doors at each other and neither came out until they heard the rest of their classmates return after classes.
Midnight had escorted the pair to one of the school's practices gyms, "I want a clean match, I will punish anyone who resorts to dirty tricks. This will be a the first to five points match, landing blows will earn you a single point." she warned both of them as she assumed they were glaring at each other, no one could see Nico's expression from under the hood. "Have you both made you preparations?" They nodded, "Good then, you may begin." she went to lean on the wall to watch the students fight out their differences.
They circled each other like a couple of alley cats fighting over territory, "Alright freak, ready to eat your words? Once I beat you, you better start showing me a little more respect." Bakugo snapped as he leaped forward to tackle her.
"And when I show you who's queen of the hill, you're going to be my partner." Nico typed out on the light keyboard on her sleeve as she dodged him easily, "you're going to learn your place."
They kept up their dance of blows as Bakugo tried to land a single hit. "You gotta be scared, you keep backing up. Just let me hit you and we can finish this."
"Not on you life, pantie thief." Nico taunted him as she continued to dodge his attacks. "But I should stop running, now that I know all I need to know." she pulled a few paper stars from the large pocket.
"You're going to fight me with paper." Bakugo laughed, "Are you even trying to win?" he mocked as she threw them past his cheeks, leaving a pair of thin twin cuts in their wake.
"Two points, Nico." Midnight called out as a scoreboard came to life next to her.
Glaring at his hooded opponent, "I won't let you get the better of me again." he directed a small explosion at her feet to trip her up, but it didn't work in his favour, it only served to get Nico airborne and coming at him with a flying kick which be managed to barely sidestep.
Nico held up two fingers, "two points Bakugo, match tied."
"Are you stupid or something? I didn't see any hits land, so why the hell would you say something?" Bakugo demand as Nico showed him her leg, the fabric was torn and there were two small burns.
Nico pulled a couple sheets of paper and quickly folded them into a dagger looking weapon. She brought it up to her face and blew something on it, "You're taking too long." Bakugo charged at her again.
A quick step to the right, she slashed at his arm with the paper knife and her score went up again. In a fit of frustration Bakugo slammed his fist into the wall and sent a large chunk at Nico, which she knew she couldn't avoid without revealing some of her quirk, so she dropped to the floor and vanished from sight leaving her baggy clothes behind.
"Where the hell did you go freak, we're not finished here." Bakugo shouted as his score only went up by one, so he knew he had got her with his last attack. When the dust settled a little, he noticed that her clothes were pinned under the chunk from the wall and a wine red cat was sitting on top of it clean its face.
Bakugo looked to Midnight, "Oi striper, I should have won. That attack should have creamed the freak."
"Your opponent can still fight, I would pay a little more attention." Midnight said as the red cat jumped up to his shoulder and started purring loudly while rubbing its head on his cheek.
Bakugo wasn't sure what was going to until a pair thin legs trapped his head in place. Nothing he did could shake whoever it was off and he could feel his energy start to drain out of him. "Damned freak, get off of me and fight like a man." when the legs withdrew, he felt two dabs on the back of his neck.
He managed to stay on his feet just long enough to see the score change for Nico, bringing her to the winning score of five. "Winner Nico Yami." Midnight called as Bakugo hit the floor, just before passing out he saw Midnight walk over to a girl with wine red hair and cat ears tail. "Is he going to alright?"
Nico nodded, freeing her clothes. "I just used a couple of pressure points, he'll be up in the morning." she sighed looking at her ruined clothing. "Can you do me a favour? I don't the others to see me like this, can you carry my gear for me while I go in as a cat?" she flattened her cat like ears against her head.
"You should be proud of the way you look, your classmates would accept you on the spot." Midnight said as she took Nico's clothes before she changed back into a cat.
