Just Dropping In

-Chapter 5-

-Last Time-

Not even pretending to wait for a response, he walked out of the room towards the bedrooms… before popping back in for a second and pointing at Toga. "She had better still be there in the morning or I'm kicking all your asses, well except for you Rei."

With his absence followed a long awkward silence fell over the three heroines, former mental patient, and still sleeping blood addict.

"God, can this day get any weir-" *Wham* "AGH!" Hmm, seems Nemuri hadn't learned her lesson yet.

-And Now-

If there was one word to describe how Toga felt when she woke up today, it would be weird. Not weird in a bad sort of way, but definitely not a good way either, it was just straight up weird and she didn't know why.

Maybe it was the fact she woke up to find herself laying on a nice cozy couch, inside an equally cozy yet unfamiliar apartment, while firmly tied up with not-so-cozy metallic wire. Certainly not one of the best situations to wake up in for sure, but a quick trip through memory lane was enough to alleviate any worry or panic the blonde teen might have felt yet the weird feeling remained.

The next oddity to get her attention was the chilly and slightly ticklish sensation on her chest, right below her neck and just above her breasts. Curious, Toga craned her neck as much as she could to find that the top of her shirt had been opened just enough to expose her collarbone. And sitting in the dead center of it was a tribal looking spiral tattoo about the size of a Yen coin.

Interesting, and just a wee bit concerning, yet something told the girl that that still wasn't the source for her feeling of weirdness.

'Hmm, meh, must be nothing then.' Toga thought dismissively as she sat up, which wasn't the easiest task given her current predicament, but she managed.

"O-oh, you're awake, good morning," In doing so though, the bun-haired blonde ended up being spotted by the only other person in the room at the moment, Rei. The whitette was over in the kitchenette, setting up a rice cooker as she smiled nervously at the bound teen. "I hope I-I didn't disturb you or anything, I was just making some breakfast."

"Don't worry about it, I didn't even notice you until just now honestly," Toga said casually with a shrug, before licking her lips as her stomach grumbled. "Mmm, speaking of breakfast though, mind making me some as well while you're at it? I'd do it myself but as you can see my hands are a bit tied up at the moment."

"Um sure, how do you like your rice?" Rei asked as she calmed down just a tiny bit while moving over to the cupboard to get some more ingredients.

"Sweet with lime slices," The tied-up blonde said politely, smiling brightly as her mouth started to water a bit. "Oh, and a glass of milk please."

"Well, at least you've got manners," Another female voice stated, making Toga snap her gaze towards the hallway to see Naruto and Mirko standing side by side, both dressed in plain loose sweatshirts and sweatpants as pajamas. Seeing that she had the girl's attention, the rabbit heroine waved lazily as she walked over to the fridge and helped herself to some celery. "Morning miss Stab-happy, sleep well did we?"

"In fact I did, thanks for asking bunny-chan," Toga said happily while either missing or ignoring the dry look she got from the whitette as she immediately focused back on Naruto with a bright fanged smile when he sat down next to her, all but flopping against his side as she snuggled up to him. "And good morning to you bestie!"

"Morning," The whiskered boy muttered, an unsure and confused expression on his face at his fellow blonde's affectionate actions. "You know, shouldn't be a bit more upset at me or something with the whole beating and tying you up thing?"

"Probably, but you also gave me a lot of tasty blood and been super nice so we're cool," Toga said as she continued to cuddle, before yelping when she ended up tipping over and falling onto Naruto's lap. "Though if it's not too much to ask, could you please untie me already? It'd be nice to be able to move my arms again and this stuff is really starting to dig in."

"Only if you promise not to try and stab me or anyone else," Naruto stated, ignoring the looks of shocked disbelief he got from Rei and Rumi. "If you want more blood just ask me for some, it would be a lot less of a hassle and I got plenty to spare."

"Naruto, you cannot be-"

"Okie-dokie, I promise!" Toga cut Rumi off excitedly, her cheeks darkening and a bit of drool oozing from her lips at the thought of getting blood whenever she wanted, before redoubling her snuggling. "You really are the bestiest best friend Naru-chan!"

"Yeah, yeah, just calm down and hold still a sec," The whiskered blonde said as he quickly pulled the girl off of him and started fiddling with the wires, barely fighting down a blush from having an admittedly pretty girl brushing herself waaay to close to certain places. "And there, all done."

With a light snapping sound, the blushing blonde's bindings went slack and fell to the ground, allowing her to stretch her arms out with a relieved sigh as her joints popped loudly. "Ahh sweet freedom, how I missed thee."

"You are now officially insane to me, you know that right?" Rumi asked Naruto rhetorically as they both watched Toga hop to her feet and start stretching more thoroughly, showing off her impressive flexibility in the process.

"Relax Rumi, do you really think I'd just let somebody who tried to stab me repeatedly loose without a few precautions?" Naruto asked back before tapping his collarbone. "I put that seal on her for a reason, she tries anything and she'll be down faster than you can say 'Told you so'."

"Ah, so it isn't a tattoo?" Toga asked while glancing at the marking on her chest, having heard everything Naruto just said, before pouting in disappointment. "Aw man, and here I was thinking my bestie got me a super cool tramp stamp as a sign of our friendship."

"Okay first off, that's the entirely wrong place for a tramp stamp," Rumi pointed out dully with an exasperated expression. "And secondly, that's the part your upset about? Seriously?"

When she got no other response aside from a non-committal shrug, the rabbit woman palmed her face as she walked back towards her room in frustration. Barely a minute later she reemerged in her regular street clothes and headed straight for the front door. "I'm out, you two have fun being crazy, I'm going to work before any more of my braincells die from sheer stupidity."

"Bye Bunny-chan~!" Toga called out playfully right as the door slammed shut.

…

"U-um, is now a bad time to mention that b-breakfast is done?" Rei asked quietly, breaking the awkward silence that had formed while nervously setting said breakfast down on the coffee table, her eyes constantly flickering towards Toga as she hid slightly behind Naruto.

"Oh, sweet!" Apparently oblivious to the older woman's blatant nervousness, Toga was quick to scoop up her plate and dug right in. "Thanks for the food!"

Naruto on the other hand was quick to pick up on the whitette's distress, mostly because he was the one she was clinging to like a scared cat on the ceiling.

"Relax Rei-chan, you're more wound up than a toddler on coffee." He said while rubbing Rei's back soothingly.

"Well pardon me if I'm not exactly comfortable about b-being around the person who tried to stab you with a smile on her face," She muttered nervously as she curled behind him just a bit further. "Are you sure that seal thing you were talking about works."

"One hundred percent, I even tested it on a clone just to be safe," Naruto stated confidently, getting Rei to visible relax and stand up a bit straighter. "And besides, even if she tried something, she'd have to get through me first-Ttebayo."

"Alright then, i-if you say so." This seemed to finally mollify the whitette, mostly at least, as she remembered how easily he'd handled the blood-thirsty teen before.

"Great, now come on, I'm starving and that food smells delicious." The whiskered blonde said while retaking his seat on the couch with the ice user in tow. Getting their own meals, the pair ate at their own pace, IE Naruto slurping it down quickly while Rei was sedated and sophisticated with each mouthful.

Silence once more settled over the room as the three enjoyed their meals, only broken by the clicking of utensils and eventually the droning of the TV when Naruto noticed the remote next to him.

"Sooooo… are you two a thing?"

"PFFFFFFFFT!" "GLRK!"

At least, that was the case until Toga suddenly asked that question out of the blue, causing both Rei and Naruto to spit-take and choke on their food respectively.

"N-no, why *cough* does everyone k-keep *cough* asking that?" Naruto rasped out as he struggled to catch his breath after dislodging the rice clogging his throat.

"Well let's see, you're living together, she's constantly clinging to your side, you keep whispering things in her ear that make her happy, you keep rubbing her back to make her feel better," Toga listed off with a growing teasing smirk whilst the other-worldly teen and Ice user quickly turned bright red. "Oh, and let's not forget you've been snuggling together for the last fifteen minutes."

At that, the aforementioned pair's eyes widened as they turned towards each-other as they finally realized that they were in fact literally shoulder to shoulder, with their now bright red faces barely a few inches apart.

"Sorry!" "EEEP!" In almost perfect sync, Naruto and Rei sprang apart, the whiskered blonde tripping on the coffee table and falling onto his ass on the floor whilst the whitette bolted to the other side of the room with an embarrassed shriek.

"Huh, so would that be a no?" Toga asked Naruto 'innocently' as she watched her fellow blonde pick himself up off the floor, giggling at the annoyed glare he shot her while nursing a tiny gash on his forehead before turning away when the phone started ringing. 'Oooh, he got bloody, bonus!'

Just the side of that gorgeous red liquid dribbling down the side of his forehead was enough to make her feel… nothing?

'Wha… what's going on?' Toga wondered to herself as she kept watching the whiskered blonde, confusion flooding through her entire body at the complete and utter lack of reaction she was feeling. Just the sight of blood in general had always been enough to get her feeling a little hot under the collar and her mouth-watering, but it was always on a whole other level when it was someone she was 'friends' with.

And then there was Naruto, who's blood tasted practically so divine her mouth watered at the mere thought of it, and given her way WAY more than almost every other 'friend' she'd had combined with more to spare.

So why?

Why wasn't she feeling that same driving desire she'd always felt? Why was her body not warming up with that euphoric fire of desire? Why couldn't she feel her heart starting to race and flutter like it always did? Why were her thoughts not growing hazy with those delightful delicious visions of blood, blood, and more blood?

To be fair, she did feel a bit excited and she couldn't help but lick her lips as Naruto wiped the blood away to reveal unmarred skin as he answered the phone. Yet it felt so much weaker… muted maybe, it was like comparing the difference between a pebble to a boulder, both were technically the same thing yet completely different.

So caught up in her thoughts, Toga became so oblivious to the world around her that she never noticed Naruto standing right in front of her until he flicked her right in the middle of her forehead. "Ouchie! Why'd you do that meanie?"

"I was checking if anyone was still home," The whiskered blonde said jokingly while playfully tapping the top of her head until she swatted his hand away, before his expression suddenly turned serious. "But seriously, you've been totally zoned out for the last five minutes. Something wrong Toga?"

"No… yes… maybe… I don't think so," Toga muttered unsurely as she rubbed her head, her normal cheery demeanor replaced with confused uncertainty. Eventually though, she settled for the best way she could think of at the moment to describe it. "I feel weird."

"Uuuh, okay, weird how?" Naruto asked with a raised brow, only for Toga to shrug.

"I don't know, just really weird."

"Can you be any more specific than that?"

"Nope."

"You're doing this intentionally to annoy me, aren't you?"

"A little bit."

"Alright, I give up," The whiskered blonde sighed tiredly while throwing his arms in the air before grabbing his fellow blonde's arm and pulling her to her feet. "Come on, we both need to get ready."

"Ready?" Toga parroted with a tilted head. "Ready for what?"

"Check-ups, that call was Nemuri-chan, she's apparently set us both up with doctor appointments and is on her way to take us there," Naruto said, making his fellow blonde blink in surprise. "Yeah, surprised me too. Now come on, Rumi left some clean clothes out for you and you really, REALLY need a bath."

"Hey! Are you saying I stink?" Toga demanded with an offended huff.

"Yes I am, because you do."

"How dare you, I do not *sniff* oh god I freaking reek!" Toga start to deny as she took a quick whiff of her shoulder, only to end up gagging with a green face as the musk of sweat, stale blood, and god only knows what else suddenly flooded her nostrils.

"Told you so," Naruto said dryly before both blonde's vanished into Rumi's room, leaving Rei all by her lonesome in the living room. Still blushing heavily, the whitette took several long slow breaths as she slowly managed to regain her composure after quite possible one of the most embarrassing moments in her life. "Alright, the bathroom's over there and there are the clothes that… Why the hell are you undressing!?"

"Well duh, I can't take a bath in my clothes silly."

"That's not what I meant!"

"I know~."

…Scratch that, now it was the most embarrassing moment of her life.

-Half an Hour Later –

"Hahahaha! You seriously did that?!"

"Yep!"

Naruto's brow twitched rapidly in annoyance as he and Toga sat in the back seat of a sleek black car that was driven by Nemuri, his face bright red and steam rising from the top of his head as the vampiric-like blonde beside him finished telling the laughing R-rated heroine about the morning events.

"You should have seen it, he was like 'What are you doing!?' and 'Cover up already!?' while he was totally enjoying the view," Toga said with a teasing giggle while resting her head on her fellow blonde's shoulder. "Isn't that right, Naru-chan?"

"I swear, I am going to get you back for that-Ttebayo." Naruto grumbled sourly as he somehow did the impossible and blushed even harder, which made the two woman laugh even harder.

"Hehehe… man, that has to be one of the funniest things I've ever heard," Nemuri said after a few moments once she managed to get her laughter under control. "Shame I missed all the fun though."

"Well there's always next time, right?" The blood-thirsty blonde suggested with a mischievous smirk that the sultry heroine shared.

"I like the way you think young lady."

'Whelp, I'm doomed,' Naruto thought in despair, already able to see the diabolical plots forming in the teasing duo's heads. Fearing for his sanity, the whiskered blonde was quick to think up of anything to change the subject. "So, what exactly is this whole check-up thing really about? I doubt it's as simple as you made it sound over the phone."

"Hmph, feeling a bit paranoid, are we?" Nemuri asked rhetorically as she glanced at the boy through her rear-view mirror. "You should relax kid, we're just following standard procedure. Making sure you're healthy, up to date on your vaccinations, and don't have any unwelcome surprises that could cause some trouble later."

"Alright, and what about her?" Naruto asked while jabbing a thumb towards Toga.

"Full psych evaluation and quirk examination." The purplette stated, making the whiskered teen nod in understanding yet getting the blushing blonde beside him to perk up in interest.

"So I'm gonna have some docs try poking around in my head huh? That's gonna be fun," She said, her voice an odd mixture of her normal chipperness and sarcasm. "And I'm guessing I don't get a say in this, do I?"

"Oh you have a choice, Toga Himiko," The heroine said with a shake of her head as she fixed the bubbly blonde with a menacing stare that froze her in place. "You can either take the evaluation to see if your 'bestest bestie' is right and you get professional help, or you can refuse and I can finally throw you into a nice little jail cell for multiple counts of assault, four murders, and thirteen attempted murders."

"Ah… well when you put it like that, I guess the choice is obvious." Toga muttered as she gulped nervously and her face paled, all traces of humor vanishing as the reality of the situation she was in finally came crashing down on her.

"That's it is," Nemuri agreed, her expression relaxing as she turned her attention back to the road. "Besides, we also got to make sure you didn't catch anything icky bugs during your… misadventures, or if you gave any to Naruto for that matter."

""What?"" Both blondes asked in sync, question marks seemingly blinking above their heads.

"You'll see," Was all the purplette said before the car came to a sudden stop. "Would you look at that, we're here."

Popping her door open, Nemuri was already out of the car before either of the blondes even realized what was happening, leaving them to quickly scramble out after her. Once they were though, both teens paused as they found themselves in a private parking lot just outside a huge mostly glass building that was shaped like an H.

"Sheesh, talk about shiny," Naruto said, shading his eyes a bit as the sunlight reflected off the building towards them. "Whoever owns this place must spend a fortune on glass cleaner."

"No kidding," Toga agreed, both nervousness and excitement in her voice as she quickly took in everything she could. "Are we where I think we are?"

"Yep, welcome to UA, the most renown hero school of all Japan," Nemuri said as she gestured to the large building proudly, before marching off towards a much smaller building in the opposite direction. "Now come on you two, we have an appointment to keep and trust me when I say you do not want to be late for it."

"Yeah, yeah, I know, if the doctor here is anything like Baa-chan…" Naruto couldn't even finish his sentence as a shiver ran down and he hurried along after the purplette, Toga skipping along beside him. If there was one thing that Tsunade had definitely pounded into his head over time, it was you do not get on the bad side of the people who were gonna be sticking you with needles.

It did not end well, at all.

-Meanwhile-

*Beep* … *Beep* … *Beep*

A familiar one-eyed girl could be found laying on a hospital bed, sleeping peacefully with one side of her face mostly covered in bandages and an IV attached to her arm.

She wasn't alone either, as sitting next to her bed was a large burly man with salt-and-pepper hair, his face starting to wrinkle with age and a single long scar stretching across his face from the bridge of his nose to his right cheek. Yet despite his imposing appearance, the man look anything but threatening as he hunched over the bed, his expression a mixture of disbelief and pure relief as he gently clasped the sleeping teen's hand.

And lastly, standing by the door was Aizawa, looking scruffy and tired as he always did while he sipped at a juice packet, and Naomasa, a manilla folder in the detective's hand that had 'Tamao Oguro' written on the tab.

"I… I almost can't believe it," The burly man muttered, tears falling from his eyes as he bowed his head "After all these years, so many dead ends and wild goose chases, and I only have my baby girl back because they left you for dead. I'm so sorry Tamao, I'm so so sorry. It's all my fault. If only I'd listened to you, none of this would have happened."

"We have our best tracking heroes and officers scouring the park she was found at," Naomasa said, tucking the file away into his coat while patting the crying man's shoulder supportingly. "If there's anything there that can tell us what happened we'll find it Iwao, I promise."

Not getting any response from the now named Iwao as he kept apologizing over and over to his daughter's sleeping form, the detective sighed before heading back out the door with Aizawa following after him.

"You are getting too emotionally invested Naomasa," The scruffy man said once the door clicked shut behind them. "You shouldn't make promises you know you can't keep, this case has already hit a dead end."

"It's only been a day Aizawa, something could still turn up," Naomasa retorted as he turned towards the underground hero with a raised brow. "Aren't you the one who's going on about being logical? Because it sounds like you're being pretty presumptuous to me."

"I am being logical," Aizawa stated dryly, staring the detective dead in the eye. "And logically speaking, the only evidence we have right now is a girl who's been missing for five years, wasp venom in her blood stream, a pile of dead wasps two blocks away that look like they've been through a blender, and a single eye witness who's most likely lying about how he found her."

"Oh, what makes you so say that?" The detective asked, his brow rising slightly higher.

"Because, I highly doubt someone put in the effort to keep a girl looking like she's still fifteen for nearly five years just to stab her eye out and ditch her in some random park where anyone could find her." The tired hero said, getting Naomasa to frown but nod reluctantly in agreement.

"Fair point, but what of the girl herself? Once she wakes up her testimony could prove invaluable to discovering what happened." The living lie-detector pointed out.

"After years in captivity and suffering severe head trauma recently?" Aizawa asked dull, getting Naomasa to grimace while he puleld out a fresh juice pouch from… somewhere and started to walk away. "Yeah, excuse me if I don't hold my breath in anticipation."

-End Chapter-

AN: First off, sorry about the confusion last chapter when I had Tamao shown, I didn't realize how big a loop that would throw people since I thought I'd been pretty clear this is during the MHA timeline, currently just a few months before Izuku and Co take the entrance exam for UA to be exact. As for why she is there, and what that's all about… I can't say because spoilers, but feel free to guess. Secondly, Toga's literal bloodthirst, I'm sure most of you have figured out what's going on with her and why she's acting a bit out of character but for those who haven't it shall be explained next chapter. Lastly, why isn't Toga being thrown right into jail, because… anime logic? Yeah, I can't bullshit my way outa that one. Thanks for reading and please review.
