Back Into It

"Professional hero Ragdoll! Care to explain to the curious viewers at home, what exactly happened yesterday night?"

Tomoko sat up straight, her face looking to the news woman before her. "Well my kitties, something wonderful has taken place. Pro hero Ryukyu and myself undertook an operation that successfully led to the capture of a notorious villain from the United States of America who took residence here in Japan. Sad vile villain was the one responsible for a young boy's kidnapping, Izuku Midoriya."

The news woman gave a nod. "Is it safe to say that this man is now behind bars?"

Tomoko grinned. "Very much so. He will never see the light of day again. And dare I say, the feeling is practically euphoric!"

"As it should be! On a more important note, of the well being of the little boy Izuku Midoriya. Hopefully nothing extreme has become of him? I'm sure being in the clutches of such a vile man, has had some impact on the boy. No matter how much I pray such a thing has not happened…"

Tomoko offered the woman a sad smile. "As of now, it is not my place to say what is troubling Izuku Midoriya, nor will it be of the public's concern of any more personal matters. However, I will say he is physically healthy and no bodily harm has come to him whatsoever. I'll leave it at that."

"Amazing, and very understandable. Truly a blessing that is well deserved in such a world tainted by villainous individuals; is it safe to assume that his caretaker is beyond relieved having him by her side once more?"

Tomoko smiled. "She is extremely happy, as am I. He's the most important thing to her and I, and having him back?" She paused, a far off look on her face. "It's indescribable…"

The smile on the reporter's face grew. "Oh? If you could honor us with such information, what of your connections to this family?"

Tomoko giggled gently. "Well, he's my nephew so you can only imagine now right? He is VERY loved by certain, as some would say, important people in our society."

The reporter gave the woman a subtle pat on her shoulder before facing the camera. "There you have it folks. Little Izuku Midoriya is finally home, and back with his caretaker." The reporter smiled. "Or should I say caretakers?"

Tomoko nodded her head, her beaming smile growing tenfold. "All of us are finally glad he's home. I know for a fact he's touched the hearts of many of us; and such a thing like him being taken away; this will never. Happen. Again."

The reporter nodded. "As it should be, and I believe it. Thank you so much for joining us today Ragdoll; we are honored for being given the privilege of an interview during what I can only assume is a stressful time."

Tomoko waved her hand in a gentle manner. "Of course."

"Coming up! Is All Might's hair the same as his-"

*Click*

"Hey auntie Ryu! I was watching that!"

"Oh you were? I could have sworn you were falling asleep already…"

Izuku pouted. "I'm not sleepy yet…"

Ryuko gazed down at the boy in her arms, giving him a curious smile. "Oh? So what was with all that yawning then, huh?"

Izuku's slitted eyes looked to her golden iris's with subtle shyness. "J-Just something caught in my throat is all see? Bleh!" He finished by opening his mouth wide for her to see.

Ryuko curiously looked down the boys mouth, knowing he was lying right in her face. But she could not bring herself to even remotely want to scold him for such a trivial thing. In fact, her body was THRIVING off this very interaction. It had been only two days since Izuku had been saved and brought back into her life, and she was making use of every single second. Everything and anything he did or said, her body engulfed all it could. Not out of fear that he would be taken again, but more so to make up on all the lost time.

"Hmmmm…" Ryuko chuckled as she gently cupped his face in her hands. "Can't say I see what you're talking about. Why don't you just admit you're tired cutie." She sighed, pulling him close to her chest.

At the moment, the both of them were cuddled up on the couch, watching the same news interview that Tomoko had given to a local agency where they lived. The small boy was sitting in her lap, her legs crossed keeping him secured in a makeshift like chair of sorts. Izuku had requested to watch it for the hundredth some time, and of course, Ryuko obliged with no hesitation. She herself liked what Tomoko had said, and everything she did say, Ryuko had no part of. So Tomoko not sharing anything personal or other more sensitive information was all on her own. Which Ryuko was extremely grateful for.

Izuku gave a loud yawn as he wrapped her arms around his face. "N-Not tired…"

Ryuko felt her heart melt as she rubbed her face into his hair. His horns were in the way, but she did not care. She missed everything about him, and she'd be damned if she did not take full advantage of having him back with her again. She felt him relax in her arms more as he continued to fight off the sleep she knew he wanted.

"Izuku, I promise when you fall asleep I will still be here you know that right? You'll still be wrapped in my arms like you are now." She cooed, tightening her embrace.

Izuku's body grew a bit more limp as he lazily looked up to her face as best he could.

"But I want to spend more time with you...miss you…" He whined.

Ryuko's chest felt warm. "How about this? If you fall asleep now, we will wake up early in the morning and go run some errands." She smiled. "And we will go and see Momo again, I know how much you like your little friend~!"

Izuku jolted a bit in her grasp, as his cheeks grew slightly warm. "W-We can go see her tomorrow?" His face lit up.

Ryuko nodded. "Of course, but you have to fall asleep now so we can wake up early okay?"

Izuku nodded before setting himself back into a more comfortable position. "Okay Ryu…" He sighed, letting his body finally go limp. "Love you…" He finished before knocking out almost instantly.

Ryuko cooed to herself loudly, a ever so familiar purr filling her body as she cuddled her charge.

"Love you too, you little liar…" She giggled.

She knew he was tired. He was nodding off almost every few seconds as they watched the interview on repeat. She had questioned why he liked watching it so much, but he told her he just liked seeing auntie Raggy on the T.V. Which of course made the woman roll her eyes in endearment. It seemed he was still smitten by the fellow greenette, but then again it brought her joy. Izuku still felt the same, and he acted the same. Like nothing had happened.

But, what did worry the dragon quirk user was that Izuku seemingly repressed everything that had happened. He did not speak of what went down while being held captive, and every time she tried to ask him about it, he would go silent and just mumble to himself. She wrote it off as nothing for now, as even a doctor had given him a full on analysis, and nothing came up from what they could tell.

"It's only been two days…" She sighed to herself. "Eventually he'll talk about it, I can't rush any of this, even if it's driving me somewhat crazy."

That last thing Ryuko thought of before she gently carried Izuku to her room, was what exactly happened during those six months?


The next morning felt like a blur to Izuku, but not because he was uninterested in what was going on around him, but more he was just so excited to see Momo again. He was still very worried about her, as the last time he had seen her was when Tomoko had carried her to safety while blood ran down her face. Even Danno was on his mind as Ryuko held his hand as they walked up to the mansion. The man had tried everything to get them both to safety, and in the process he was injured by Hisashi's flame. Izuku felt if he had noticed sooner then Danno would have been spared from such a painful encounter.

The errands that Ryuko had brought him for was for clothes shopping, and for a haircut. It did pain Ryuko that the only reason she was buying him new clothes was because what she had of his at the house before he was taken were now two sizes smaller than what he fit in now. So he had nothing to wear, so a couple thousand yen later he had a large assortment of new clean clothes and a pair of shoes. As for his haircut, Ryuko had asked him what he wanted, and Izuku opted for a trim as they call it. So his hair no longer covered the majority of his face and eyes, but now just barely stood above his eyebrows.

"IZUKU!" A small feminine voice cried as it neared them.

Izuku's train of thought was broken as he looked to his friend running towards him with a large smile. She was wearing a red sundress with sunflowers printed all over it. Her hair was tied up in a red bow, and she wore black shoes.

Izuku could not control his excitement as he jumped up and down in joy before tearing his hand away from Ryuko's and making a mad dash for the girl to meet her half way.

For a split second, Ryuko felt her heart rate spike, and her eyes widened in fear. Though, the feeling of dread passed as she was brought back to those dark time for a split second.

"Izuku is back with me...Izuku is back with me…" She eased to herself as she saw the two meet each other hand in hand, giggling and laughing in joy. She laid a hand to her chest, letting it slowly quell her still beating heart.

Taking a deep breath, Ryuko smiled sharply as she kept walking towards them, noticing Danno and Emiko standing by their mansion's door.

Ryuko waved to them, the couple waving and smiling back as they approached her. She casually passed by the gushing kids and made her way to the other adults.

"Ryu my sweet! It's good to see you." Emiko said, bringing the shorter woman into a hug.

Ryuko chuckled. "What's with the noble dialogue?"

Emiko chuckled. "What? Can a friend not simply greet her fellow friend in such a fashion?"

Danno chuckled this time. "Honey, stop you sound ridiculous."

Emiko pouted. "Bah! You two are always killing my fun."

Ryuko and Danno now embraced, Ryuko being careful of the man's back. "Hey Danno, how are you feeling?"

Danno scoffed as he moved to stand besides his wife. "Just a scratch honestly! I'm pretty resilient you know."

Emiko snorted. "Resilient he says!" She guffawed. "What happened to, 'ohh honey my back can you get me some ice cream! Ohh I can't reach the remote! Woe is me!'" Emiko finished whilst clutching her hands to her chest in a mocking manner.

Ryuko laughed boisterously as she imagined the very believable scenario in her head.

"Come on Danno, even I know you're full of crap." Ryuko jested.

Danno took the 'punches' in stride as he shrugged his shoulders with a grin. "Was worth a shot!" He said whilst clearing his throat. "Izuku! Momo! Come over here!"

Said two kids ceased their loud laughter as they looked to the intrusive voice. Momo quickly grabbed Izuku's hand with her scarred one and quickly pulled him behind her; tugging him along as they now stood in front of the three adults.

"Yes!?" Momo gasped slightly out of breath.

Danno crouched down to their height, and looked to Izuku with open arms.

"Izuku! Where's my hug at huh?"

Izuku looked to him in concern, his eyes gazing to his shoulders and back in worry. Danno noticed his look and sighed before pulling him into a hug forcefully.

"Worry not Izuku! I promise I'm okay, alright?" He chuckled as the boy's tense body relaxed slightly.

"R-Really?" Izuku whispered as he looked Danno in his eyes.

Danno's smile did not falter. "Of course! Now...I see you got a haircut…" He leaned in to whisper in the boy's ear. "Looks amazing, keep up the work my boy and you'll have Momo's heart yet!"

Izuku's reaction was immediate as his face turned a vibrant red. "W-What?!" He shrieked.

Danno's laughter was cut short by way of Emiko's sharp hand. She instantly gave her husband's head a chop as he yelped in pain.

"Hey!" Emiko scolded. "Leave the poor boy alone."

Now it was Emiko's turn to crouch down and pull the boy into an embrace.

"Oh Izuku how you have grown! We've all missed you dearly." She sighed.

Izuku felt himself relax in her hug as he nodded his head in affirmation.

"I missed you all too…" He trailed off.

Emiko broke the embrace and stood tall, her hands aiming for the door a few feet away from them.

"Let's head inside now! It's time we all got prepared for lunch! I'm making everyone's favorite!"

Momo and Izuku grinned. "Katsudon!" The two cheered as they bummed rushed into the house, leaving the three adults behind.

Ryuko watched her little Izuku run inside, a feeling of immense warmth and comfort filling her chest. She missed this feeling, she practically thrived off this feeling. It was a miracle she had made it so long without it, and she'd die before ever having to experience the absence of this feeling again.

"Say, Ryuko? Mind giving me a hand?" Emiko questioned as they made their way to the door.

Ryuko nodded her head. "Of course! You know how much I love helping you while Danno blubbers away at us till we go mad." She teased.

Emiko chortled as Danno sighed.

"Sometimes I wonder if you two enjoy torturing me."

Emiko giggled. "Not as much as you enjoy torturing us with your nonsense never ending rambling and horrible jokes."

Danno feigned hurt before smiling mischievously. "You got me there."


Izuku and Momo were running around the house, playing tag like they used to. It seemed weird to think of it that way, but it was the reality. Izuku was ecstatic though, he finally was playing with Momo, and it's everything he wanted whilst spending the last few nights in the house in the field. He did draw some pictures of her, and he wondered what had become of them.

Ryuko told him the house was being investigated, to find any leads on the other two men that Hisashi had with him. When Izuku was asked about the whereabouts of said men, he told Ryuko that they simply left with Hisashi somewhere and it was all he knew. So it was safe to assume that they were still in Japan somewhere.

In any case, Izuku did not have any access to those pictures he drew, or his art supplies as everything was considered evidence for the moment.

As Izuku chased a giggling Momo, he could not help but wonder how dull his drawings must really look compared to the actual real thing. She gave off a natural radiance of happiness and heroic energy that he could not help but admire her. When she stood up to Hisashi, and looked the man in his eyes while standing in front of him. Izuku felt a new form of admiration and loyalty to her was born that day. He swore he would strive to be the amazing hero she will become one day, and they were barely four at that. Izuku's birthday was two months from now, and apparently hers was coming up, but Izuku knew what he had before him was a real friendship.

As they rounded a corner, and Izuku reached his hand out to poke her back in an attempt to tag her. He felt himself slip and catch the corner of the wall they just turned. Almost immediately Izuku fell with a yelp and landed roughly on his knee. Polished marble floor was not the safest landing zone, and judging by Izuku's now scraped and bleeding knee the boy stopped all form of play as he clutched at his leg to try and ease the subtle pain.

Momo, noticed her friends cry of pain, and turned around. Gasping as she saw him on the floor clutching his leg.

"Oh no!" She said in worry as she made her way back to him. "Izuku, your knee!" She cried. "Are you okay?"

Izuku winced slightly as he tried to stand up, only to feel his injury flare in pain.

"It h-hurts." He said through clenched teeth.

Momo jumped up and down, moving her hands in a shaking manner as she looked around the hall they were in. They were honestly about a five minutes walk away from the adults, and she was fearful of what they would say when she returned with an injured Izuku. Acting and thinking quickly, Momo reached a hand down for him to hopefully help lift him up.

Izuku looked to her hand in intrigue, cautiously reaching out for her outstretched one.

"Grab my hand and lean on me okay?" She explained. "There's a bathroom nearby and I can clean the cut! Daddy's taught me how to do it since I always get hurt while at grandmas."

Izuku's eyes widened as he heard her take charge. He instantly trusted her and gripped her hand in his own, feeling her lift him up gently as he clenched his teeth slightly. Izuku did as she had told him, and draped his hand over her shoulder. Luckily, they were the same height, and Momo cautiously gripped his arm.

"Ready?" She said gently. "The bathroom is just two doors down." She eased.

The two of them walked at Izuku's pace, the boy soldiering on as he trusted Momo. The walk to the bathroom was short, and before Izuku knew it, he was seated on the closed lid of the toilet while Momo rummaged through some of the cabinets in the bathroom. She had to set up a stepping stool for her to reach the medicine cabinet and found exactly what she was looking for.

"Ah-Ha!" She cheered as she got back to the floor. "Hydrogen peroxide, a cotton ball, and a band-aid!" She announced, displaying them up to him like they were some trophy.

Izuku instantly recognized what the said medicinal items were as he nodded his head.

"It's gonna sting okay?" She said sadly, while pouring some of the liquid on the ball.

Izuku nodded his head. "Yeah I know, Ryu has done this a few times."

Momo nodded as she started to clean the wound as best she could. Izuku winced as he felt a sting and watched in pained awe as Momo's face scrunched up in concentration. She was following all the steps her father had taught her, and just as she finished up and laid the band-aid on; Momo admired her handy work as she gave a triumphant nod at her handiwork.

"Done!" She concluded, setting the cotton ball in a small trash bin, and setting the peroxide on the sinks counter.

Izuku's eyes sparkled as she once again, 'saved' him. He set himself onto the floor gently, testing how his legs felt as he moved with them. It still stung, but definitely felt better than beforehand.

"Momo wow!" He gushed. "You're so cool! Thanks!" He said with a subtle bow.

Momo's face grew a tiny scarlet tinge as she nervously giggled. "I-It was nothing, of course I'll help my friend anyway I can!"

Izuku smiled in her direction, his eyes unknowingly looking to her hand. His look of genuine mirth and sincerity was replaced with a small one of grief; which the small girl noticed.

She knew he was looking at her hand, and frankly it was starting to annoy her.

"Izuku it's okay. You didn't mean to." She chastised.

Izuku winced. "But I hurt you…"

Momo rolled her eyes, as she lifted his hand for her to see.

It looked a lot better than how it used to, or so Izuku told himself. Her normal skin tone was a milky white; while where she was burnt by his quirk it was a vivid red, almost like her entire palm was tanned.

"See? It's not bad at all! It didn't even hurt me I swear!"

Izuku instantly gave her a skeptical look. "You're lying."

Momo held said hand to her heart. "I swear Izuku, it does not hurt nor did it ever hurt. It was really weird actually...daddy told me it was because of adrenaline or something?"

Izuku gave her one last look before sighing.

"But it made your skin look like that…"

Momo stomped her foot on the floor, her shoes loudly echoing along the marble tiling. "Izuku! Stop it!"

Izuku cowered slightly under her scolding voice and gaze, but eventually relented.

"Okay Momo. You think dinner is ready by now?" He opted to changing the subject.

Her look of annoyance turned to one of wonder as she put a finger to her chin. "Hmmm it should be? Let's go see?"

Izuku nodded, his smile now returning. "Yes! I'm feeling super hungry!"

Momo nodded her head, jumping with joy. "Me too! Mommy and Ryu make the best katsudon!"


In the Kitchen

"Danno I swear on Momo, if you say another stupid joke. They won't find your body."

Danno sweat dropped. "Y-You can't just say something like that in the presence of a pro hero!"

Ryuko looked to him with a confused look. "Huh? Sorry I wasn't paying attention. But I'm sure whatever Emiko told you, is deserved…" Her eyes grew dark. "And I'll be sure to help where I can of course."

Danno groaned, slamming his head on the table as he was once again ganged up on by the two women.

"I can't wait till Izuku is old enough to where he can have my back."

Ryuko scoffed. "And what makes you think my little Wyrmling would be on your side?"

Danno grew a serious look. "Men stick together from the evil tyranny of women."

Emiko chuckled. "Danno I really do love your dumb ass, but you still haven't told Ryuko of an important offer of yours."

Danno's eyes squinted. "OURS. Honey, we both agreed."

Ryuko's gaze lingered on them both as her look of fake confusion from earlier turned into a real one.

"An offer? What offer?" She questioned.

Danno sat up straight, facing the hero as she stood by the stove.

"Emiko and I have been talking. Hopefully it's not too soon, and if it is, forgive us. But we have an offer for you, one that we hope you take…"

Ryuko raised a brow, looking to the both of them now as Emiko made to stand by her husband.

"Yes Ryuko, I'm sure you know Momo's fifth birthday is coming up."

"As well as Izuku's." Danno added.

Ryuko chuckled. "Why would I forget Momo's and my own nephew's birthday?"

Danno chuckled as well. "Just making sure, but that's not where our offer lies. It has to do with their age of course."

"Okay?" Ryuko continued.

"Danno and I are going to be putting Momo into kindergarten soon, a private institution."

Ryuko immediately started shaking her head, waving her hands as she realized what it was they were offering.

"N-No! Absolutely not!" She declined.

Danno took the lead now. "I know it's a lot to ask, but could you maybe put Izuku in the same school as Momo? You know how close the two are, and it would be easier for the two of them to grow if they attend the same schooling. They are both going to be five, and applications go in a month from now. Of course we will pay-!"

"Stop!" Ryuko suddenly said. "That's exactly why I a, saying no! I cannot expect you two to do such a thing for Izuku and I. I refuse!"

Emiko sighed. "Ryuko please, we WANT to do this. Izuku deserves it with what he went through, and we want to do this for you for easier peace of mind as well. You know how heavily guarded these private schools can be."

Ryuko groaned, laying her head in her hands. "You two, you're being too kind. It's going to be too expensive and I could never hope of paying you back either!" Ryuko gave them a hard look. "I don't care what you say, but this is simply too much."

Danno grumbled. "Ryuko, we have so much freaking money I could wipe my as-"

Danno squeaked as he felt Emiko jab his side harshly.

"What the idiot meant to say was, take this as a birthday gift to Izuku. One that lasts for about ten years of course...and it still won't stop us from buying him gifts still...ummm this isn't so convincing is it?" Emiko laughed nervously.

Ryuko gave her friends a sad look. "Guys please, this is just too much...I don't know what to say, or a way to ever hope to repay you for such a kindness."

"Then how about this." Danno suddenly jumped in.

The two women looked to him as he walked towards the dragon hero.

"I'm sure Izuku has talked about wanting to attend U.A in the distant future, yes?"

Ryuko nodded. "Yes?"

Danno crossed his arms. "Momo also has dreams of attending the same school her mother did, so it's actually cool both have dreams to go where their moms went right?"

"Well, Inko didn't go to U.A…" Ryuko countered.

"That may be, but you're also his mother you know." Danno said. "Anyways! The point is, there will come a time where Izuku will be trained correct? In preparation for the U.A entrance exam?"

Ryuko's eyes grew a mirthful look. "Yes that is correct. The Wild Wild Pussy Cats and myself have that honor. Possibly Rumi as well, but that depends if she can focus with how much she coddles him…"

Danno's grin grew tenfold as he unfolded his arms, stretching one out to reach one of hers.

"Then when the time comes for us to call in a favor, one that will repay your 'debt' as you are making it sound like."

Ryuko chuckled, already reaching her hand for his; their hands met.

"That favor is, Momo being trained alongside Izuku, so they can both be prepared for the entrance exam and hence continue going to school together."

Their hands gripped each other strongly.

"We have a deal?" Danno said with a raised brow.

Ryuko genuinely chortled, her inner instincts coming through as her laugh turned guttural.

Emiko herself, nodded her head in approval as she gave her husband a predatory look. "My god sweetie, that was pretty hot. I forgot how convincing you can be with deals..."

Ryuko brought her hand up for a finalized handshake as her eyes flared as a 'deal' was made between the three. "My dear friends, you don't got yourselves a deal; this is a pact."


Four months Later

"Izuku aren't you excited!?"

Izuku nodded his head, jumping with joy as they neared the school.

"Yes! Can you believe we are going to school together?!"

Momo, just as excited, squealed as she held onto the hands of both her parents. Izuku was doing the same, but he held Ryuko's with just an equal amount of gusto.

Izuku and Momo were both five now, and their applications were sent in for this school about two months ago. Once the payments went through, and some background checks were given, Izuku and Momo were allowed entry to the prestigious private academy. One that went from kindergarten, all the way to ninth grade. So the both of them had a lot of growing up to do together, and the thought was enjoyable for the both of them.

Though Izuku lived a distance away from the school, Ryuko did not mind flying him over to the school in their own special way. It was a little bonding experience between them, and Ryuko enjoyed every second of it. It may have been the first time they had done such a thing, but Ryuko imagined she'd be doing this for a few years longer. It filled her with warmth.

Though the woman was fearful of Izuku being away from her sight for the first time since he was taken, she felt some relief seeing the security and even some heroes stationed around the school. Ryuko's thoughts came to a halt as she felt Izuku squeeze her hand. She looked to him, noticing his calm and loving smile.

"Ryu?"

Ryuko gave him her own smile. "Yes?"

Izuku suddenly hugged her, burying his face in her stomach as she felt a jolt of happiness consume her. She instantly returned his affections, her chest purring like it always did with him. She hoped this would never stop, and that he would not grow out of this loving and affectionate phase. She knew how eventual teenagers could be, and frankly she hoped in the future he would not become embarrassed hugging her in such a way. It was something for the future however, and Ryuko was going to make sure she was going to enjoy every bit of it she could right now.

"I love you. I'll see you later okay?" Izuku muffled voice said from her stomach.

Ryuko felt a growl like purr escape her lips as she hugged him tighter.

"Of course, we will fly home and even go out for some food okay?"

Izuku nodded his head.

"Izuku hurry!" Momo suddenly called from the gates of the school.

Both of them broke their embrace as Momo stood by the gate, having had her own moment with her parents a few seconds ago.

"Coming!" Izuku shouted for her as he looked back to his aunt.

Ryuko felt tears leaving her eyes as she held onto his hands tightly.

"I-Izuku, you won't get embarrassed if I cry right?"

Izuku smiled. "Never."

Ryuko cried dragon-like tears as she brought him into one last embrace.

"G-Good! Because you know h-h-how much of a baby I a-am…"

Ryuko gave him one last squeeze before ruffling his hair and tugging on his large horns.

"I love you Izuku. Have fun okay?"

Izuku nodded turning around and running towards the gate.

"Bye mommy!" Izuku triumphantly yelled as he made his way to an excited Momo.

Ryuko felt her heart soar, her tears returning as she clutched at her mouth to hopefully quell her sobs. She felt a pat on her back to see Emiko offering her the same tear filled eyes.

"Don't worry, I cried like a baby t-too." She joked.

Ryuko felt herself wetly chuckle as she rubbed at her eyes. She could just make out Izuku and Momo being lead into a classroom, their teacher assuming as whole bunch of other kids were following suit.

"Y-Yeah, I guess it's fine if you cried too." Ryuko sighed.

Emiko pointed to a car parked a few yards away from them. "You should see Danno, he's practically bawling like someone stole his puppy."

Ryuko looked to the car and laughed joyously. Said man was crying in his hands, slapping the steering wheel in a dramatic fashion as he wailed loudly.

Many of the older students seemed to look to the sobbing man in awkwardness, turning away from him as they continued on into the older section of the academy.

"Ryuko?" A voice called.

Ryuko felt herself jolt slightly at the voice. She turned around and saw a familiar woman looking to her in surprise.

"Hanae?" Ryuko said with wide eyes.

Hanae giggled nervously. "Yup! That's me, I'm assuming since you're here because Izuku will be attending this school?"

Ryuko gave the woman a gentle smile and nod. "Yes, he is." Ryuko then looked to Emiko. "Where are my manners, this is Emiko Yaoyorozu, my very good friend."

Emiko gave the woman a smile and bow. "Nice to meet you Hanae?"

Hanae looked to her in confusion before realization hit. "O-Oh right! Hanae Hagakure. It's a pleasure."

"Charmed." Emiko chuckled. "My daughter Momo is also attending this school as well."

Hanae grinned. "That's wonderful! So Izuku and Momo will be together huh?"

They both nodded.

Ryuko looked back to the class Izuku walked into. "I'm assuming your little girl Toru will be also attending this school?"

Hanae nodded. "Yes she is, and she's also in my class as well, conveniently enough." Hanae looked too her watch.

"Wait, class?" Emiko questioned.

"Oh! Yes I teach here at this academy, having been doing so for about eight years now. I'm the lead Kindergarten teacher. Followed by my husband who teachers the upper division classes."

Hanae paused, looking to her class in the distance being led in. "Ah! And it looks like the little bundles of joy are being led into the class by my assistant as we speak!"

Ryuko and Emiko looked to said class, realizing that it was in fact the class their own kids had walked into.

"Well I'll be damned, Momo and Izuku are in your class." Emiko chuckled.

Ryuko felt a bigger relief wash over her. Even if she did not know Hanae too well, she felt some comfort knowing that this woman was going to be teaching and taking care of Izuku. Hanae gave the two women a bow, before making her way to the school gate. "It was a pleasure you two! I'll make sure to teach those two to the best of my abilities!"

Emiko and Ryuko gave the woman a wave as she entered the school, and then the classroom.

"Well, Danno and I have a meeting in an hour with a colleague of ours, so I'll see you later on Ryuko." She said while giving her friend a hug.

"Good luck with that." Ryuko said as she watched Emiko walk away.

Ryuko turned back around to the school and sighed. She knew Izuku would be safe, but this pit of worry she felt was something she'd have to get used to.

"Have a good day today, my baby."


As Izuku and Momo were seated in a table fit for three, imagine their surprise when a pair of floating clothes nervously sat themselves alongside them. The both of them gave the peculiar sight confused looks before a voice spoke from amidst the clothes.

"H-Hi…" A meek, very squeaky voice greeted them.

Momo was the first to respond. "Hello?"

Izuku stood silent as his eyes widened.

"M-My names Toru Hagakure, nice to meet you…"

Momo smiled. "My names Momo Yaoyorozu! Nice to meet you." Momo gave the girl a quizzical look. "Is that your qu-"

"QUIRK?!"

Both girls looked to Izuku in surprise as he was practically shaking in his seat.

"Y-Yes?" She squeaked.

"S-Sorry...I just like quirks a lot..." Izuku gulped. "Ummm my name is Izuku Midoriya, it's nice to meet you too."

The pair of clothes seemed to relax a bit as she got a name for the both of them. "M-Midoriya and Y-Yaoyorozu…can we be f-f-friends?"

Izuku answered instantly. "Of course! Right Momo?"

Momo offered her own confirmation. "Yes! Let's all be friends together!"

"O-Okay!" Toru cheered as she relaxed in her seat.

"But!" Izuku said, holding his pinky up to her. "We have a pact to make."

"Pact?"

Momo nodded her head. "Yup. We must make a pact to become official friends."

Before Toru could realize what she was getting herself into, Izuku and Momo linked their pinkies together, both looking too the invisible girl with rapt attention.

"Repeat after me." Izuku explained. "I hereby swear! We will be friends forever, and nothing will ever change that! As friends, we will play together, laugh together, get in trouble together, grow up together, and most importantly!"

Toru cautiously brought her own invisible pinky to their's; Izuku and Momo not batting an eye as they felt the girl's mysterious finger.

"We will always be there for each other." Momo finished.

Izuku and Momo could not see it, but Toru had literally stars in her eyes as she wrapped her pinky around theirs. She had made such a promise with her mom and dad many times. Be it that she promised to clean her room, or that she'd eat all her veggies if it meant she could have ice cream.

Toru took a deep breath as she repeated the mantra. "I hereby swear! We will be friends forever, and nothing will ever change that! As friends, we will play together, laugh together, get in trouble together, grow up together, and most importantly!" She said with complete confidence.

"We will always be there for each other." The three finished with.

"Now..." Izuku gushed. "What is your quirk?!"

In that moment, a beautiful friendship was born, one that would last a literal lifetime. Their story continues.


Like I said, some things are going to pick up pace to make this story go a bit faster. If I really wanted to I could actually draw this out soooooo much and write ever single detail, but I feel I can just add those in the future with bonus chapters. For instance, how Izuku and Momo spent their 5th birthdays together and how they reacted to being told they would be attending school together; and so on.

1. To be honest, I missed writing all this fluff and just cute interactions between Ryuko and Izuku; and Izuku and Momo. It feels so refreshing and easier on the mind than the constant drama, but I still enjoyed nonetheless. It is just a better place.

2. Toru is now part of the friend group, and to those wondering why it seemed rushed it really is not. It is actually extremely normal for kids this young to make friends so easily; therefore them becoming friends so quickly should not be shocking at all. I am a teachers aid in a kindergarten class, and you would be amazed with how kids just befriend one another so quickly.

3. Now what exactly is Izuku's quirk some of you have been wondering? Well, it is a mixture of Hisashi's fire quirk and Inko's minor telekinesis for sure. Also if you remember the exposure from Ryuko when Izuku was in Inko's womb will have major effects on him. Many readers have caught this, especially the whole thing with eyes. I will leave it at that for now.

As always, have a wonderful day, evening, and night.

(DO NOT READ THE NEXT NOTE IF YOU DON'T WANT SOMEWHAT SPOILERS. Even if it may seem obvious.)

4. Soooooo onto something that is of major importance to the story as a whole. I have been getting messages if this will evolve into an eventual Harem fic. Personally and from the vision I was given, it is supposed to be and I will most likely honor it. Though it is for me to decide as it is just me now. I will have a poll created when the time strikes, and I will let my readers have a say in it however. No matter the outcome this was solely supposed to be a IzukuxMomoxToru fic. But if the triple pair seems to much, then it will just be a IzukuxMomo fic with Toru trying to convince them to get together kind of thing.
