Izumi Midoriya yawned, showing off her sharp canines as she stretched in her chair, her ears flicking as she settled down on the desk to nap, curling her long tail around her waist.

"Izumi-chan, you should eat lunch before you nap," Uwasagi said as she sat opposite the girl, using her quirk to pick up her chop sticks, the utensils floating in the air for a moment before she grabbed them.

"But the sun is nice and warm," the green-haired girl moaned, stretching again as she unfurled herself, reaching sleepily over to her bag and pulling out her own bento box.

"What do you have?" Uwasagi asked, looking over her glasses as Izumi eyed the contents of the box, her eyes wide as her pupils dilated in excitement, "Katsudon?"

"Katsudon," she said happily as she set the food down, pulling out her chopsticks and starting to eat, "Thanks for getting me to eat, Uwa-chan."

"Of course," the pig-tailed girl nodded, "I am your friend after all."

"My only friend, more like," Izumi chuckled through a mouthful of food, "Not that I'm complaining. I don't need that many friends."

"That's because you freak out when girls try to talk to you," the other girl hummed, "And you hiss at all the boys."

"I'm too gay to deal with this slander," Izumi sighed, finishing her food and putting her lunchbox away.

"I know," Uwasagi chuckled, "I still remember how nervous you were when you confessed to me."

"Don't bring that up!" Izumi whined, "I'm still embarrassed about it!"

"You shouldn't be, you'd be a real catch to anyone who would like you like that. That person just isn't me," Uwasagi replied.

"At least you stayed my friend," Izumi hummed as she settled back onto the desk, "Now, nap time!"

"ACHOO!"

"Hey Kacchan," Izumi said without turning around, her ears turning to face behind her as she listened to the blonde moving up behind her, "Want some allergy medication? I have spare!"

"Go to hell, you damn furball!" Katsuki said through a red nose, his eyes starting to water as he followed her down the street, "Why the fuck do you even have Allergy medicine? No one in our class is allergic to cats!"

"But you're allergic to me," Izumi hummed, tossing the box over her shoulder, hearing the blonde catch it, "Or are you still denying that fact?"

"GO TO HELL!" the blonde snarled as he stomped past, shoving the box into her hands, the girl noticing that one of the pills was missing from the pack, a Cheshire smile stretching over her face as she watched him walk away.

"Hey mom! I'm home!" Izumi called as she entered the apartment, kicking off her shoes and yawning, her tail lashing behind her in excitement as she thought about taking a nap on her bed.

"Hello kitten, how was your day?" the woman called from the kitchen, "I hope you didn't antagonize Katsuki too much?"

"Nah, he only talked to me after school," Izumi replied, "I gave him the extra-strength allergy pills, so he should be fine."

"That's good," her mother called back as Izumi headed towards her room, "And kitten, make sure to do your homework before you take a nap."

"Ugh," Izumi huffed slightly, before letting out a sigh as she smiled, "Yes mom. Love you!"

"Love you too, kitten! Fish for dinner tonight!"

"Awesome!" Izumi called back as she opened her bag, pulling out her books.

The girl hopped along the railing, the train of cats following her as she easily balanced on the thin surface. She was in a mostly abandoned part of town, only a few homeless people and a lot of stray cats occupying the area. She leaned down and stroked a ginger tabby, the female purring loudly as she pressed against Izumi's hand.

The teen stood, looking around the abandoned buildings, noticing the scratch marks she'd left in the concrete over the years, as well as the numerous small cat shelters that she'd put up. Not for the first time did Izumi wonder if the overabundance of cats in this was because she used this place to train. A loud yowling made her head snap to the side, hopping off the railing and rushing towards the source of the sound.

"Stupid cat," a snobbish voice laughed as she drew close, "Making all that noise for nothing. What, do you think a Hero is going to come and save you?"

"Yeah!" a couple of other voices laughed along as Izumi rounded the corner into an alley, staring in horror at the scene in front of her. Three boys, all wearing high school uniforms, stood over a cat, the source of the yowling, one lifting a metal bat over his head as he spoke.

Izumi moved before she could think, sliding between the other two as the bat fell. There was a flash of claws accompanied by the sound of tearing metal, before the top half of the metal bat hit the ground, bouncing away harmlessly. The three boys blinked as they looked at the destroyed bat, then back at the small girl that was poised over the injured feline, her back arched as she hissed viciously at them.

"What the fuck?" one of them said.

"Get the hell out of here!" Izumi growled at them, dragging her claws through the concrete of the ground, leaving deep gashes in it, "Or I'll do that to your faces!"

"What the hell?" the other muttered, "Hey, let's just go, this chick seems crazy enough to do that!"

"What?" the apparent leader scoffed, "There are three of us! I say we have some fun with her!"

"Dude," the other said, a look of repulsion on his face, "That isn't cool."

"Oh, fuck off," the leader spat, stepping forwards, "What's one girl going to do to us anyway? Dumbass is all alone!"

"Who says I'm alone?" Izumi let her Cheshire grin spread across her face as the figures emerged around them, the boys jumping as the hoard of cats started to hiss and yowl, "Now, get lost before I turn you into Fancy Feast for my friends!"

"I'm out!" one of the boys shouted, immediately starting to run, the other quickly joining him.

"You…crazy cat bitch!" the leader shouted as he quickly followed them.

Izumi didn't relax until she couldn't hear their footsteps anymore, before quickly turning back to the cat on the ground.

"Are you okay?" she asked softly, gently scooping the black cat up in her arms, "I can take you to the vet if you need it."

The cat just snorted slightly, wriggling in her arms before jumping back to the ground, an indignant look on his face.

"Oh, I see," Izumi chuckled, "You were just acting to get them to leave you alone."

The cat nodded at her, before trotting off.

"Hey, don't go too far! I have tuna today!" she called after him, smiling as his ears swivelled around ha sat on the ground, acting as if he had meant to the entire time.

"Welp, here it is," Izumi hummed as she stepped over the curb, catching her foot as she went, only her cat-like balance keeping her from falling over.

"You are okay?" a voice asked, the cat quirked girl turning to look at the blonde girl, her face cute, a pair of pointed horns sticking straight up out of the sides of her slightly equine head.

"Y-yeah," Izumi swore in her mind, the stranger nodding as she held out a hand.

"I Pony Tsunotori," the blonde said happily, "I you wish exam on the luck."

"What?" Izumi blinked as the girl suddenly blushed.

"I mean… luck on exam?" she said, looking slightly confused, "Sorry, not good at Japanese I am."

"Oh," Izumi replied, "Uhm…Izumi Midoriya."

"Nice meet you to, Izumi-chan," the girl said, smiling at her, Izumi's heart skipping a beat.

"N-nice to meet you too! Gotta go, bye!" she squeaked, running off quickly, leaving the confused blonde standing there.

Izumi took a deep breath as she stood outside the testing area for the practical, stretching as she prepared to go in.

"Ah! You!" the strangely familiar voice called, "Izumi-chan!"

"Huh?" Izumi said, her face immediately flushing as the blonde girl from before ran up, wearing only a sports bra and spats, showing off her entire well-toned body, "Holyshitshe'shot."

"What? You speak too fast, I not you hear," Pony said, smiling with a cute look of confusion on her face, "You okay? You very look hot."

"I'm what?" Izumi squeaked, her face burning.

"Like…uhm…sun hot? Your face red," Pony said, "You not sick? Not good if you sick."

"N-no, I'm not sick!" Izumi muttered, looking away, "S-sorry, can I just finish getting ready?"

"Oh, I sorry I interrupt, bye-bye!" Pony said happily, trotting off as Izumi tried to gather herself again.

"It's okay, it's okay. Just don't spend the whole exam staring at her. Or imagining about her. Or even thinking about her," she muttered to herself, shaking her head as she found herself glancing over at the other girl, "Easier said than done."

"START!" the shout startled her into the air, bolting forward on instinct as the massive gates swung open, the voice shouting above her, "GO GO GO! THERE ARE NO COUNTDOWNS IN REAL LIFE! THAT GIRL HAS THE RIGHT IDEA!"

Izumi shook her head again, clearing her mind as she spotted the first of the robots, dropping down on all fours as she unsheathed her claws, racing towards them. The sound of rending metal filled the air as she jumped, slashing her claws straight through the one-pointers thin necks, decapitating them in an instant. She dodged the stream of rubber balls fired at her a moment later by a two-pointer, racing over to it and clawing out the eyepiece. The three-pointer loomed over her a moment later, the girl barely dodging as the heavy fist slammed down on top of the two-pointer, crushing it.

She swore as her claws scraped over the thick armour plating of the robot, unable to pierce through it, before the robot juddered, lifting into the air. It slammed down a moment later, Izumi seeing Pony standing behind it, her hands held beside her head as a pair of horns flew out of the three-pointer, swooping around the blonde.

"I help!" She called, waving at Izumi as the girl blinked.

"Look out!" Izumi shouted, tackling Pony to the ground as the wave of rubber balls slammed into the tarmac where she'd just been, "Sorry, I saw you about…to…"

Izumi trailed off as she looked down at her hand, firmly gripping the mound of soft flesh under the sports bra, her eyes going wide as she instinctively squeezed.

"Ah!" Pony squeaked under her; her face slightly flushed as Izumi literally launched herself off of the other girl.

"I'M SORRY!" Izumi called as she raced off, her face bright red as she weaved between the other students and robots.

"It okay, though," Pony said as she sat up, blinking as the shadow loomed over her, her eyes going wide as she looked up, "What that?!"

Izumi panted as she hid in the alleyway, trying to calm her racing heart, as she clenched her hand, the feeling of Pony still fresh in her mind.

"Calm down, you raging lesbian," she scolded herself, "It was just a breast. The first breast you've ever touched other than your own, but just a breast!"

The screams caught her attention, Izumi peering out of the alleyway to see what the fuss was about. She immediately regretted it as she saw the massive Zero-pointer smashing its way directly towards her.

"Oh dear," she muttered, quickly turning to run like the rest of the examinees, when she heard a shout.

"Ow!"

She immediately zeroed in on the brunette who looked like her leg was trapped beneath a pile of rubble, running over without a thought as she started to dig, her claws cutting into the concrete.

"Shit, it's too thick to cut easily!" she swore, blinking as a pair of horns suddenly swooped around her, hooking under the rubble and lifting it.

"I help to come!" Pony shouted as she ran up, "Grab hold me horn!"

"What?" the brunette asked, yelping as a pair of horns hooked her under the arms and started carrying her away.

"We run now!" Pony said as she grabbed Izumi, dragging her behind her as they bolted down the road, both dropping to all fours to run faster.

"AND TIME!" Present Mic shouted from atop his podium, all the examinees slowing as the robots powered down.

"It we did!" Pony cheered, pulling Izumi and the brunette into a hug, the cat girl squeaking as she was squeezed, "Hope we get in all!"

"R-right," Izumi managed to say as her soul practically left her body.

"Right, first day," Izumi hummed as she stood outside the door to class 1-A, "Nothing to worry about. Not going to have a gay panic about all the probably cute girls in class."

She opened the door, immediately blinking as she scanned the room, before stepping backwards and slamming it shut.

"Fuck that!" she whispered to herself, "They're all too pretty!"

"Ah, Izumi-chan!" Pony said from behind her, "Okay are you? You close door hard."

"Ah! T-tsunotori-san!" Izumi squeaked, "A-are you also in 1-A?"

"1-A? Ah! Yes," Pony nodded enthusiastically, "My class is that too! Yay, friend already!"

"Friend?" Izumi said as Pony reached past her and opened the door, pulling the green-haired girl in after her as she entered the room.

"Woah, what was that about?" someone called, Izumi blinking as she realised that she was in the room, her face flushing as she saw the girls all staring at her, "You opened the door and then just wigged out."

"Hello! I Pony Tsunotori!" Pony said happily, holding up her hand as she clasped Izumi's in it, "This is friend, Izumi-chan!"

"Huh?" a short boy with balls for hair said, "What's she saying? She might be hot, but she sounds like she's stupid."

Izumi immediately growled at him, making the class stare at the ferocity as she spoke, "I will make you into sushi if you say that again, pipsqueak!"

"What?" the boy squeaked as Izumi continued to glare at him.

"YOU FUCKING FURBALL!" the shout startled everyone out of their confusion as the door slammed open, a blonde charging in, "THIS IS YOUR FUCKING FAULT! I KNOW I-…I-…ACHOO!"

"Bless you," Pony said in English as she held out a tissue for Katsuki, the blonde's face already swelling.

"What?" Izumi said, "I have no idea what you're talking about, Kacchan?"

"It's your fucking fault!" he growled, blowing his nose loudly, "That I'm in fucking class B! Achoo! Cause I can't be around you! Achoo!"

"What?" a pink skinned girl asked, "Like, you're allergic to cats?"

"Kacchan isn't allergic to anything," Izumi sighed, "Well, except me, apparently. No one knows why, not even the doctors."

"Oooh!" a floating girls uniform said, "That's actually kind of funny."

"FUCK YOU!" Katsuki howled, about to step further into the room before he started sneezing repeatedly.

"It would be best that you leave, Kacchan," Izumi sighed, "Class is starting soon, and you don't want to get into trouble on the first day. Also, I think that caterpillar thing behind you is a teacher?"

"What?" the blonde snarled, turning to look, his eyes going wide as he looked down at the weird thing lying on the ground behind him.

"Go back to your own class, Bakugo," the human face on the yellow thing said, pulling out a jelly pouch and draining it in one draw, "As for the rest of you…"

The class watched as the door was shut in the blonde's face, the yellow caterpillar shedding its skin to reveal a tall and lanky man in a simple black costume with a strange grey scarf around his neck.

"You, Midoriya," he said, pointing at Izumi, "You noticed me. Good. The rest of you need to work on your situational awareness. You aren't here to play around. Now go get changed into your gym clothes and meet me out on field beta."

"Huh?" the class said as the man simply walked out of the room without another word.

Izumi rushed out of the changing room, zipping her top closed as she went. She was at her limit, even only having spent less than five minutes in the changing rooms with the other girls. Now she hurried to the field, stepping out into the warm sun and sighing. What she would give to be able to take a nap right now.

"You're the first out," the voice made her jump, turning to look at their homeroom teacher as he carried over a small basket of softballs, "Good. I don't need people who waste time."

"Ah…well…yeah," Izumi said lamely, "Didn't want to keep you waiting, Sensei!"

"Hmmm," the man grunted as he set down the basket, "What's the real reason?"

"What?" Izumi asked.

"Don't play dumb with me," Aizawa growled, "What's the real reason you're out so fast?"

"Would you accept that I'm too gay to stay in a room with a bunch of hot girls for too long?" Izumi muttered back.

"Yes," Aizawa replied, startling her, "But you'll need to get over that if you're going to be in the Hero Course."

"Right…" Izumi drew out the word as she watched the teacher set up, "So…uhm…who are you? I mean, I know you're a Pro Hero, but I don't recognise you."

"That's fine," Aizawa muttered, "I'm not a very public Hero."

"Hey, are we late?" a voice called as several of the boys made their way out, looking around, "This is the right place, right?"

"The crazy cat chick is here, so it must be," the short purple-haired boy lisped, "But where are the rets of the girls? I want to see them in the gym uniform! 'Sepcially the blonde girl, her tits were huge!"

"You are sushi the first chance I get, grapes," Izumi growled, a wave of protectiveness washing through her.

"What'd I do?" the boy squeaked at the vicious words.

"Enough," Aizawa sighed as the last of the students joined the group, "We're going to be doing a Quirk Apprehension Test today."

"But what about the Entrance Ceremony?" a familiar brunette asked.

"Waste of time," Aizawa sighed, "Tsunotori, you scored the highest total points out of the class. Use your quirk to throw this."

"Pardon?" the girl said as she caught the tossed ball, "I not get what you say?"

"Throw the ball as far as you can using your quirk," the teacher repeated in English, "This is the only time I'm going to explain this to you like this. Listen more carefully."

"Ah! Yes, Sensei!" the girl said, hurrying to the chalk circle.

The class watched as Pony detached two of her horns, carefully balancing the ball on the two of them, before making them spin around her like a sling shot. The ball flew off into the distance, the teacher's phone beeping a moment later.

"94.6 metres," he said, holding out the phone so everyone could see, "Not terrible."

"We get to use our quirks?" the pink-skinned girl said excitedly, "This is going to be so fun!"

"Fun, you say?" the man chuckled as a sardonic grin stretched across his face.

"Here are the results," Aizawa said as they finally finished, the hologram of the board appearing in the air.

Izumi quickly found her name, surprisingly higher than she had expected, considering she'd only really done better than the others in the flexibility test and the long jump, getting second in both. Other wise she'd placed middle of the pack for most of the events.

"NO! I'm being expelled!" the ball-haired boy sobbed, "Ladies! I didn't even get to see you properly!"

"No one is getting expelled," Aizawa growled, "Yet. None of you have zero potential but watch yourselves. Especially you, Mineta. Don't make me regret this."

The boy squeaked as the teacher walked away, wiping his tears as the class headed back inside to change.

"I wonder who we'll have for Basic Heroics?" one of the boys asked, Izumi yawning as the class speculated.

"I AM…" the shout came from outside the door, before it slammed open, the familiar blonde figure leaning in while grabbing the doorframe, "COMING IN LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!"

"ALL MIGHT!" the class exploded as he grinned at them.

"Today your first Foundational Heroics lesson shall be Battle training!" HE said, holding up the small card, "But first! We must discuss your costumes!"

He slapped the wall, shelves holding gleaming silver cases sliding out of it as the students rushed forwards to grab theirs.

Izumi swallowed, hard.

It was bad enough for her to have to change with the other girls, but now she could see them in their costumes, which was a whole other thing. Ashido had a garish but form fitting leotard on, Uraraka dressed in a skin-tight body suit, and Yaoyorozu was showing so much skin it felt borderline illegal. Asui was decked out in a surprisingly sensible wetsuit, and from what Izumi could tell, Hagakure was naked except for a pair of shoes and gloves.

This was not going to be easy.

"I sorry I late!" the voice called as the sound of hooves hitting concrete echoed down the hall, "Costume hard to put on first time!"

Izumi almost passed out as she saw Pony. Not because her costume was scandalous, but because it was simply so cute. It was obviously themed after a mixture of a horse rider's outfit and the horse itself, a harness-like mask around her head and stirrups hanging from her ankles. It suited her well.

"I'd like to take a ride on that," the ball-haired boy slurped, "The Hero course is amazing!"

Izumi shuddered as she almost agreed with him for a moment, before growling out, "Sushi, pipsqueak."

"Your costume nice," Pony said as she walked up to Izumi, looking her over as the girl blushed.

"It's not really what I asked for though," the cat girl sighed, "I mean, I know I put 'Like a catsuit' on the form, but I didn't think they'd just give me an actual catsuit."

The dark suit clung to her tightly, highlighting her lithe and slender body. A pair of fingerless gloves sat on her hands, allowing her to extend her claws, and her boots had hidden blades in them, which could be easily deployed like claws. A belt hung loosely from her waist; the teen unable to tighten it anymore than it already was.

"The only things they really got right were the boots and gloves. This belt will just get in the way so it's one of the first things I'm changing," she muttered, "Then add some more padding and armour to this thing, because I know it won't block a hit."

"You speak fast again," Pony giggled, the sound making Izumi choke slightly, "It funny. Even if I not understand."

"Oh…uhm...thanks?" Izumi squeaked.

"Time for the explanation and choosing of teams!" All Might called as the students gathered in front of him.

"Team D as Villains versus Team H as Heroes!" All Might called, holding up the two balls, "That is Kirishima and Mineta versus Midoriya and Tsunotori!"

"Oh," Izumi let her Cheshire grin spread onto her face as she glared at the short boy, "This is going to be fun!"

"Where are they?" Izumi muttered as the two of them moved carefully through the building, "Are they just hiding?"

"We look in all rooms," Pony nodded as she followed behind the other girl, "This only one left."

"Then they must be inside," Izumi grinned as she extended her claws, "And they probably blocked the door."

The wood shredded easily as she slashed it apart, throwing debris into the room as the two of them looked inside. Purple balls lined every wall and the floor, barely enough space to step between them as Kirishima stood in the only clear space in the centre, a wide grin on his face as he protected the fake bomb.

"Pony, give me a lift?" Izumi hummed, the blonde nodding as she fired two of her horns, Izumi hopping onto them as they carried her over the balls, a wide grin on her face, "I'm coming for you, red!"

"Manly!" the boy shouted as she jumped into the clear area, swinging a wide punch at her as his arm hardened.

There was a screeching noise as Izumi ducked, dragging her claws along his arm, cutting into the hardened flesh. The boy gasped as he stumbled back, looking at the damage in surprise.

"You managed to cut me? Even when I hardened myself?" he said.

"That's what these claws do," Izumi grinned back.

"MANLY!" Kirishima shouted as he dove back into the fight, throwing more punches, hardening the rest of his body as Izumi swiped and clawed at him.

As the two exchanged blows, Pony concentrated. She was controlling three of her horns, her current limit, trying to get them under the bomb to carry it to the door so she could touch it while Izumi was distracting Kirishima. It had been Izumi's plan all along, she would engage the Villains while Pony got the bomb. She almost had it when the hand grabbed her, squeezing her backside as a perverted chuckle came from behind her.

"Forget about me?" the voice lisped, the girl looking over her shoulder as the blood-soaked head that grinned at her.

"LET GO!" she screamed in English, instinctively kicking back with one of her legs, throwing the boy off her, but doing no real damage as she hit the metal diaper like thing around his crotch.

"Thank you for the meal!" the boy only giggled as he got back to his feet, his eyes blank as she wiggled his fingers in a perverted way, "I think I might have seconds!"

"Huh?" Izumi looked over, blocking a punch from Kirishima, "What's wrong, Pony?"

"Him grab me! Bad touch!" the girl said.

"He what?" Izumi snarled, startling Kirishima, giving her an opening to grab him by the arm and throw him over her shoulder, right into the middle of the balls, "Oh, he is DEAD!"

"What?" the three other students blinked as Izumi leapt across the field of balls, using Kirishima as a steppingstone as she shot through the door, slamming right into the ball-haired boy.

"Sushi is too good for you," Izumi snarled as she lifted a hand, claws extended as she loomed over the diminutive boy, his face an image of terror, "I'm going to turn you into mulch!"

"Izumi-chan!" the shout startled her as her hand swiped, the hand just barely managing to grab her wrist as it swiped for the boy's throat, throwing it off course to slice through the concrete of the wall, "No hurt classmate!"

"What? But he touched you!" She growled, fighting to get away as Pony pulled her into a tight hug, her surprising strength pinning Izumi to her body.

"It okay!" Pony said, "Well, not okay, but not reason to hurt! Him already unconscious!"

"Huh?" Izumi said, looking down at the collapsed boy, liquid dripping out one of the leg holes of his diaper as a puddle formed beneath him, his eyes rolled back in fear, "Oh, gross."

"Both Villains are incapacitated!" All Might suddenly called through the earpieces, "Heroes win!"

"Midoriya lost herself to anger at the end, even if she did apprehend both Villains," Yaoyorozu said, "While Kirishima stuck to his role the entire time. That's why I think he is the MVP."

"Manly!" the red head said under his breath as he wiped away a tear, his back still covered in small pieces of purple ball.

"Well said, Young Yaoyorozu!" All Might blustered slightly, "Well then, onto the next match!"

"What about Mineta?" Izumi huffed.

"What about him?" All Might asked.

"He touched Pony…inappropriately! He should be punished!"

"Of course!" All Might nodded, "I will be sure to inform Eraserhead about him after the lesson."

"I guess that's good enough," Izumi muttered as she looked over at the blonde girl.

The mist Villain hissed in pain, the metal plating around his neck covered in thick scratch marks as the girl pinned him to the ground.

"One more move, and you get to find out how sharp my claws really are," she growled as she sat on top of him.

The door to the USJ suddenly burst open, All Might jumping down with a scowl and engaging the large monster that had been attacking their teacher.

"Pony!" Izumi gasped as she spotted the head of blonde hair, dropping her shock banket as she saw the girl being led out of the USJ, "Are you okay?"

"I fine," she grinned, pointing back at the other two that had exited with her, "Classmate help protect."

"Thank goodness," Izumi sighed in relief as she hugged the girl tightly, "I was worried."

"Aw, you good friend," Pony giggled, hugging her back, "We all safe now! All Might win!"

"Yeah, All Might won," Izumi purred softly as she settled into the hug.

"The Sports Festival will be going on as planned," Aizawa said, even as he was covered in bandages, "So do your best."

The class chatted for a while, Pony smiling as she headed towards the door, blinking when she opened it.

"Huh? Lot people, who you?" she asked.

"What? They let a mentally deficient person into 1-A? How pathetic!" a tired voice laughed.

"She's just bad at Japanese," Izumi growled, stepping in front of Pony as she glared at the blonde boy, "So take your bullshit somewhere else!"

"Wait…what?" the purple-haired teen blinked as he stared at Izumi, "You're a cat."

"Yeah? And?" she growled back.

"Sorry," the teen shook his head, "That just…I'm here to declare war on your class!"

"What? Why?" Izumi asked.

"Because Gen Ed students have the chance to move up to the Heroics Department if we do well enough in the Sports Festival," the boy replied.

"Are you a pervert?" Izumi hummed.

"What? NO!" the boy shouted.

"Then you're welcome to join us," the girl huffed, "We just had someone expelled from the class for inappropriate behaviour, so as long as you don't harass the girls, I'm fine with whoever."

"Harass the girls?" the boy said, "Who the hell did they let into the Hero course?"

"Exactly!" Izumi replied.

"And the First Year Sports Festival begins!" Mic shouted over the jeers and shouts of the students as Bakugo walked off stage.

"And in the third round are Teams Todoroki, Bakugo, Shinso and Midoriya!" Mic shouted as Izumi got off Pony's back, still blushing brightly.

"Yay! We make it!" the blonde said happily, "You ride me good!"

"Excuse me?!" Izumi coughed, choking on the water she was drinking.

"Hey Kacchan!" Izumi grinned as she stood across the stage from the blonde, "You take you allergy meds?"

"GO TO HELL!" the boy shouted back, "I'LL KILL YO-…Yo….ACHOO!"

"I guess not."

"Begin!" Midnight shouted, Izumi immediately bolting forwards and slashing at his neck, forcing the blonde to dodge back.

A second sneeze forced him to close his eyes, giving Izumi all the time she needed to shove him in the chest, sending him tumbling backwards.

"Katsuki Bakugo is out of bounds!" Midnight shouted as he landed on the edge of the stage, "Izumi Midoriya wins the first round!"

"I lose so easy!" Pony sniffed as she sat in the changing rooms, wiping the tears from her eyes, "Him just say 'hello' and I lose."

"It's okay," Izumi hummed as she patted the girl gently on the back, "You tried your hardest. It was just a bad match up."

"Izumi-chan!" Pony sobbed, burying her face into the other girl's chest as she sobbed, making Izumi blush hard, "You good friend. I love you!"

"Y-you do?" Izumi squeaked.

"You best friend!" Pony nooded into Izumi's chest, "Like sister."

"Oh," Izumi muttered, "Okay."

"So, we meet again," the purple-haired teen said as he stood across from Izumi, "I don't plan to lose."

"And I plan to take revenge for making my friend cry!" Izumi said back, unsheathing her claws, making the other teen sweat slightly.

"Begin!" Midnight shouted, Izumi charging forwards in an instant.

"Why are you so concerned about that other girl? Are you in love with her or something?" The boy shouted as she drew near, Izumi almost stumbling.

"What? N-no-!" she said, her body freezing as her mind went blank.

"Holy shit," Shinso muttered, the girl mere inches away from him, "Walk out of the ring."

Izumi followed his orders, walking off the stage as he breathed a sigh of relief, before releasing her.

Izumi immediately spun on her heel, staring at him as her cheeks flushed.

"IT'S JUST A CRUSH!" Izumi yelled, before running out of the arena.

"Wait…what is?" Shinso asked.

Miles away, in a lodge in a forest, a group of four watched the screen, a small child off to the side staring angrily out the window.

"Oh," the tallest and most muscular of them said, "She is purrfect!"

"And these are the internship requests," Aizawa drawled, the image being projected on the screen.

"Izumi-chan!" Pony gasped from her seat just in front of the cat girl, "You get offer!"

"I did?" Izumi blinked as she saw her name at the bottom of the list, with a 'one' beside it.

Aizawa continued talking for a bit, handing out the papers with the lists of Hero Agencies they could go to. Izumi stared at the singular offer she had gotten, blinking in confusion, but simultaneously unsurprised.

"Of course," she muttered, "Of course they would want me."

"Izumi-chan!"

Izumi jumped as she was hugged from behind, shivering as she felt the soft warmth press against her back, turning her head to see Pony's head hanging over her shoulder.

"You want hang out?" the girl asked, making Izumi blush harder as she squeezed tighter, pressing more into Izumi's back.

"Uhm…s-sorry! I'm meeting with an old friendandshe'skindofshyand…" Izumi trailed off when Pony stared at her blankly, "And you can't understand me, right. Sorry."

"You go with friend?" Pony asked, before smiling brightly at Izumi, "I come with! I make new friend too!"

"I…Uhm…I…" Izumi tried, her mind going blank as Pony grabbed her hand and began pulling her towards the station, "Okay…"

"Hi, Uwa-chan," Izumi said sheepishly as Pony stood beside her, an excited expression on her face as she looked between the cat quirked girl and the black-haired telekinetic.

"Hello, Izumi," Uwasagi said curtly, "I see you're already making new friends. That is good."

"Yeah," Izumi nodded, mouthing a quick 'help me' to the other girl before introducing Pony, "This is Tsunotori-san."

"Call Pony, please!" Pony said, "I want be your friend, please!"

"Pardon?" Uwasagi said slowly.

"She's not very good at Japanese," Izumi muttered, "So you might have to speak slowly for her."

"Ah, I see," the other girl hummed, nodding before replying, "Hello, I am Uwasagi, nice to meet you."

"Ah! You can speak English?" Pony said happily.

"Only a little, I'm not very good," Uwasagi hummed, "So, how did you and Izumi meet?"

"Oh, we met at the exams! She seemed nice, so I talked to her! You know, she even accidentally grabbed my boob during the practical!" Pony chuckled as Izumi tried to follow the conversation.

"How bold of you, Izumi," Uwasagi smiled as she gave the cat girl a knowing look, "Well, shall we go to this new Cat Café I found?"

"Cat Café?" Pony gasped, grabbing Uwasagi's hand as she started to pull both of them behind her, "Yes! I love cat!"

Izumi relaxed as the cats crowded around their table, petting as many of them as she could manage.

"This amazing!" Pony said happily, a large fluffy white cat sat firmly in her lap, "So many cat!"

"This is why I like bringing Izumi-chan to Cat Cafés," Uwasagi chuckled, "The cats swarm her."

"Yes!" Pony said happily, turning to look at Izumi as she petted the other cats, all of them purring loudly.

After a moment, a thought occurred to the American Japanese girl, reaching out towards Izumi's head. She placed her hand softly behind the green-haired girl's ear, and gently scratched. Izumi went limp almost immediately, leaning into the hand as it scratched her ear. The loud purr that came out of Izumi startled Pony for a moment, the cat girl's head snapping around to stare at her in surprise.

"I sorry!" Pony gasped, "I not mean to scare! I just want to pet!"

"Oh no, Izumi," Uwasagi chuckled, "Seems she's found your weakness."

"Weakness?" Pony asked, looking at the bright red Izumi in confusion, "You like the skritches?"

"Oh, she loves the skritches," Uwasagi hummed as she sipped on her drink, "Especially when they come from a pretty girl."

"You think I pretty?" Pony gasped, blushing slightly.

Izumi could only stare, not even one of the cats butting its head against her chin for attention able to pull her away.

"Down, girl," Uwasagi said, finally snapping Izumi out of her stupor, "You looked like you were about to pounce on her."

"I-I wasn't!" Izumi squeaked, hiding her face in one of the cats, "Really!"

"Right," Uwasagi sighed, finishing her drink, "Anyway, I have to start heading home. Have fun you two."

"Bye-bye!" Pony called, Izumi stiffening ass he realised that she would be alone with the blonde.

"You okay, Izumi-chan?" Pony asked, "You look pale."

"I'm fine!" Izumi squeaked, hiding her face in one of the cats, "Definitely not panicking cause I'm alone with the girl I like!"

"Girl you like?" Pony asked, making Izumi freeze, "Oh! You want be alone with Uwasagi-chan? I sorry!"

"W-what?" Izumi gasped, "NO! I didn't…not like that! I already tried and she's straight!"

"Straight?" Pony asked, "Ah! So, you are like me? Liking girls?"

"Yes," Izumi nodded, before blinking, "Wait, you're a lesbian?"

"Yes?" Pony nodded, "I thought flirt made obvious."

"Flirt?" Izumi blinked again, "Wait! You've been flirting with me?!"

"Yes?" Pony replied.

Izumi groaned as she dropped her head onto the table.

"I thought it was just your bad Japanese," she muttered, "But you were actually flirting with me? Gods dammit!"

"So," Pony hummed, making Izumi look up at her as the blonde fidgeted slightly in her seat, "You are…liking me?"

"I, uhm…" Izumi blustered through her words, before letting out a quiet, "Yes."

"You are wanting to date?" Pony asked, a small smile on her lips.

"Y-yes," Izumi muttered.

"You are wanting to kiss?" Pony hummed, her smile getting wider.

"Yes," Izumi nodded.

"Okay, we girlfriend now," Pony said happily, "I am liking Izumi-chan lots too! Best friend and girlfriend! Yay!"

"Y-yay?" Izumi blinked as she stared at the other girl in confusion.

"Hello and welcome!" The four said as they adopted their pose, "We are the Wild Wild Pussycats! Thanks for accepting out offer!"

"You are…welcome?" Izumi replied, "Uhm…what's with the kid?"

"Oh, that's my nephew, Kota," Mandalay explained, "He's staying with us for the moment."

"Oh, okay," Izumi nodded as she followed the four into the log building, "So what's up first? Physical training? Rescue training? A rest?"

"Nope," Tiger grinned as he opened up a closet, reaching inside, "First up is…"

"A COSTUME CHANGE!" Pixie-bob and Ragdoll shouted happily.
