Another Hidden World
Crack! ( the sound of glass breaking )
"Arghhh!" Izuku used Fusion, Bakugo ignited his explosions, and Aizawa took out his scarf; all three made moves to escape out the window from the evil queen.
"Huh. Cowardly predictable." She snapped her fingers, causing two people to appear wearing Tuxedo suits like Yakuza out of nowhere. One had light green eyes with red pupils and two transparent, red visors frame each of his eyes, as well as spikey red hair and white skin with a child-like body. The other had light orange eyes and wild jet black hair, with two transparent orange visors framing each of his eyes. He emanated an aura of intimidation like a delinquent.
"Ultimo, Vice, bring those two back." She commanded, and with an acknowledgment, they jumped out the window to chase their prey.
The rest remained dumbfounded and confused, clueless as to what to do. Then Momo got up to approach the scary woman. She gave a polite bow, saying, "It's good to see you again Asakura-sama."
"How nice to see you again, Momo-chan. I hope that your predicament has been solved."
"Oh, it has. You were able to help with my problem completely." She touched her Talisman bracelet.
Uraraka then came and bowed towards the CEO."Thank you for your help, Asakura-sama. My parents are now able to work and really appreciate what you did for them."
"You're welcome, Uraraka. So long as your parents keep up the good work that's enough for me."
Everyone in the class looked at the two classmates conversing with the stranger that made three people freaked out. Speaking of whom, it didn't take long for the trio to be returned, tied up in a straw mat and thrown right in front of the queen."As if you could escape me. Especially you, Aizawa, as your quirk is useless on them. And as for the both of you…"
"Excuse me, ma'am! You can't just-" Anna just gave him a glare of killer intent that silenced Iida and made the others squirms.
A Few Minutes Later…
Bakugo was massaging Anna from behind, the boy trying to maintain his dignity and patient. He could tell the extras was looking at him weirdly that pisses him off even more but it be a death sentence if he refuse.
"Harder and more precise, brat."
"Yes, ma'am," he grumbled.
"I can't hear you."
"Yes ma'am!"
While Bakugo was busy, Midoriya was the main focus of this queen's harsh attention. He was seated in Seiza down on hard rocks with his knees weighed on by two cement blocks."So tell me nephew; why didn't you called me immediately when Harusame broke?"
"I got distracted by some sudden information."
"Vice, add some weight." Another block was tossed onto him, causing the shaman kid to grunt in pain.
All of his friends cringed seeing him suffer; their powerful class president was reduced to a tortured slave by this one woman.
"Ouch," Shojiro said.
"She's so scary," Mineta whimpered.
"Okay, I lied! I was afraid to tell you immediately because I knew you'd punish me for being weak!" Izuku confessed, sweat coming down his face.
"There. Was it so hard to be honest?" asked the woman coyly. "You should have said something sooner; the Sports Festival is coming up and you can't do anything without Harusame. Now let's get it fixed."
"But we still have classes-"
"Eraserhead?" Anna turned to the teacher.
Aizawa didn't want to get on her bad side, so he went along with it. "So long as they learn something, and it gets you away from me."Aizawa was a strict teacher and very protective of his students but knowing Anna he trusts her that she would take care of his student well being and safety.
"Pack your things, boys and girls. We're going on a trip."
Inside the Limo…
At the front of the limo were Izuku, Momo, Amidamaru, and Anna. The latter of the quartet wanted a private discussion with Izuku and Momo.
"Aunt Anna," Izuku began, still reeling from the pain earlier, "I know I didn't want to tell you about Harusame, but why didn't you tell me about me having a fiance?"
"What would be the point if you would find out anyway?" she answered snidely. "Do you have any objections?"
"No," he said, a little red in the face, "but we're still too young to-"
"It won't happen until you're eighteen. That was my rule."
Meanwhile, the others skipping class sat in the back.
"Man I never thought we could skip a class Aizawa sensei was teaching," said Kaminari who looked excited.
"This my first time riding a limo!" Kirishima checked around the vehicle.
"Yeah me too." Mina was bouncing in her seat.
"It's better than in the movies." Toru looked excited.
"Hey, there are drinks in the fridge!" Mineta said as he checked inside.
"This seat is made of leather!" Kirishima was feeling the fabric.
"Should we be talking about the fact that we can skip class for a road trip courtesy of that scary woman?" Mina was eventually relaxing in the seat.
"That scary woman is the former pro heroine Platinum Queen, Anna Asakura Itako," Iida spoke, fear present in his voice from earlier.
"Platinum Queen Kero?" Tsuyu confused.
"Wait." Tokoyami focused on the topic."I think I heard about her. She was a hero who retired five years ago; it was a scandal."
"I heard about it too; she could become of the top ten heroes and she decided to quit and form her own company," Jirou said, remembering an article she read.
"It's not just that. She is a pro hero who took delinquents, and villains to rehabilitate them to work in society. Her efforts saved and changed 75 percent of the delinquents and 50 percent of the villains she took in." Iida explained about the queen's profession.
"Man that's some scary dedication," Kaminari said.
"So why did she retire with such a promising career?" Mina asked as it was very rare pro heroes quit and retired that early.
Iida recalled the glare she gave. "I asked my brother once, and she said, 'don't ask her questions.'"
Mineta shrugged. "I'm more interested in knowing how Midoriya and Yaoyoroppai know her." That earned him a kick to the face by Tooru.
"They're related." Tsuyu's words caused the others to face her. "Midoriya called her aunt, and her name includes Asakura."
Ochako pounded her hand with acknowledgment. "Oh yeah. He did say that."
"Me."
"And me."
"And you didn't tell us about it?!" Mina's excuse pointing to the trio.
"It's a family thing, and it is not our business."
"Agree"
"So where do you think we're going on this road trip?" Shoji asked the classmate.
"I don't know but as long we can skip class is all that matters!" Kaminari relaxed without the care in the world.
"Of course you would say that." Jirou pointed out.
"Still to sign that contract disclose agreement it must be something important a big secret that we can't tell anyone if we wanted to come to this road trip."
"Yeah, I'm kind of curious."
"Speaking of curious…" Toru began, looking around even though it wasn't obvious. "Where are Bakugo and Todoroki?"
Another limo was shown driving two people. They were surrounded by tough men wearing suits.
"Why are you even here icy-hot?!"
"…." was his response.
"Fine! Be that way."
Soon, the class arrived at the shrine. It was well overlooked and very clean. Two Mikos were sweeping up leaves, stopping the minute they see Anna with the children exiting the vehicle. Both bowed before her, the left saying, "Thank you for coming to the Kokehime-Sama Shrine, Asakura-Sama."
"I'll be going to the Nura clan land along with these children." They looked very worried.
"Is that all right?"
"Don't worry. I made them sign a contract."
"Then excuse us as we prepare." The Mikos took off.
"Listen up boys and girls." The woman faced the children. "What I'm about to show you is both wondrous and terrifying; if anyone knew what you were about to see, it'd cause havoc. Since you all signed a contract, I expect you all to not talk about what you are about to see, but if you do, I will find you and will make your lives miserable before you disappear. Are we clear?"
Everyone was terrified hearing the threat, especially four people that knew she wasn't bluffing.
"Are we clear?!"
"Yes ma'am!" everyone shouted in unison.
"Good."
As the twins returned, they gave them wooden tags along with the explanation that they function like train tickets. "Do not lose them."
Everyone went through the portal before them, eyes widening in shock when they see what it is before them. What looked like something out of folklore and myth stood before them. It was like an Edo period piece, buildings straight out of dramas of that time, and even people strolling by. But, everyone who wasn't human was clearly a yokai of legend, mingling and talking with one another like racism and fear wasn't a concept.
A Nattō walking happily with a Tōfu; a Bakeneko selling food; an Obake walking normally with some fish talking to a Kappa; a peasant human spirit buying something; a Tengu flying in the skies: these were the bizarre sights they were taking in.
Anna stepped in front of them, ignoring their comments that add nothing to their situation. "Since ancient times, youkai have existed living among us. Because of how humanity views anything that isn't like them, they had adapted by hiding themselves or their features. This is where this place comes in, a world where youkai live without prejudice or discrimination. Of course, even the spirits of humans are allowed. Spirits that cannot move on, for so long would resided hear until they are ready to leave, it's why spirits can retain their physical form on in this realm."
"I see; so it's like a rehabilitation for spirits," said Amidamaru, who was now in physical form like the day he died.
"Amidamaru, you have a body!" Izuku shouted as everyone in 1-A looked at the samurai in his physical form. He flexed himself showing off and testing his form, and they all admired him for it.
Anna continued while ignoring him. "Thanks to the emergence of Quirks, some youkai came out of hiding to rejoin the populace. I'm sure you've met the Bakeneko police officer?"
Momo instantly realized who she meant. "He was a youkai?!"
"Yes, he is." The children grew in awe at the hidden world revealed to them. "Be careful though. Some of them still distrust humans."
Noticing a few giving them the look, Shoto agreed.
The former Platinum Queen glared at Izuku and Amidamaru. "Now, where were we? Ah yes; meeting an old friend."
Xxx
"Mosuke!"
"Amidamaru!"
Upon meeting, both friends hugged and shook after meeting for the first time since forever. "It's been too long, old friend."
"Indeed it has, Amidamaru." The samurai then noticed something off about his friend. While his features were the same, he had two small horns and was bigger.
"Mosuke, are you-"
"An oni, yes, I know." Mosuke flexed his fingers. "I had a feeling you'd need my services again, but after all the times I repaired Harusame, it came to me; what's the point of making something good as new when I can do better? All blacksmiths strive to improve themselves, but no human body could surpass my greatest works. That's when he gave me an oni body."
"He?" Both Shaman and spirit repeated.
"Time to make Harusame even better than new!"
"Thank you!" Both Shaman and Samurai bowed in gratitude.
"No need for thanks. Even in 500 hundred years, we'll be friends."
Seeing such a manly display, Kirishima cried in his arm.
"What is this shit?" Bakugo grumbled. He'd have left a long time ago, had it not been for him being tied up thanks to Anna to avoid trouble in Youkai territory.
Said queen of terror faced the rest, saying, "You can all sight-see if you please. My bodyguards will watch over you, so avoid causing any trouble. And no Quirks." Her eyes quickly matched her title for emphasis. "If I find someone is using their Quirk, you get expelled. And I can persuade the principal to do so."
"Yes ma'am!" The group dispersed, save Momo and the still wrapped up blond.
Turning to his aunt, Izuku asked, "Is it alright for them to know this?"
"With the increase of villains, that means the increase of curse manifestations. Knowing about the youkai is a necessity for the future."
"But, aren't the shaman and jujutsu users enough?"
"Three cases in one month, all of which almost exposed the youkai." Her eyes turned fierce. "Someone is doing this deliberately. The sooner they experience this the better; besides, except for that little one, they all are open-minded children."
It was a half-truth that there was a vision that in the future war would start. The rumor was that a Hao loyalist who still believed in his principle and the Hyaku Monogatari Clan's is staging the trouble.

Mina, Tsuyu, and Toru were walking around the admiring the Edo period building. The invisible girl said, "I didn't expect such things happening under our nose. I always come to the shrine with my family every new year eves."
"Me too!"
"My family as well."
The girls go to the nearest Dango shop, where a youkai was there as the saleswoman. This voluptuous beauty with wavy brown hair wrapped in a ponytail dressed in a white kimono dress that sported flower patterns said, "Welcome to my shop; do you want three sets of Dango?"
"Yes please!"
The woman named Kejoro eventually brought them their food, with green tea. Compliments flew as they enjoyed the food. "I hope you enjoyed it; we use traditional ingredients and methods by-"
"I'm back."
It was then someone came to the shop. He had blond hair which is black below, amber eyes, and wore a black scarf. He wore an olive traditional male's kimono with a blue-green jacket over it, along with traditional straw sandals and possibly bandages around his legs and feet.
"Kubinashi; it's been a while!" said the Youkai, welcoming her guest.
"Sorry for the intrude; give me the usual please…" He then noted the girls. "… humans."
"You're a floating head!" Tooru shouted.
"And you're a pair of clothes," he replied sarcastically. "Doesn't feel good, does it?"
"Sorry." After that, they went back to eating.

Shoji, Kirishima, Mineta, and Kaminari were looking around the area. It really was like an Edo period piece.
"You know this exciting, right?" Kirishima said with a pumped personality.
"You bet it. How about you, Shouji?" was Kaminari to Shouji.
"It's interesting," was his reply. "It's like we have gone back in time."
In all honestly, he felt he belonged here. As a child, Shoji was feared due to his mutated appearance forcing him to wear a mask – not including the incident with the scar. Thankfully, not a single youkai had seen him with fear or disgust. He liked it here.
Out of nowhere, a giant tree trunk was hurling towards the group. Before they could do anything, a monk arrived out of nowhere to save them, slicing the trunk into perfectly diced wood. This youkai was fairly tall with long blue-black hair and blue eyes, dressed in black monks' robes while wearing a conic straw hat topped by a diamond shape. He wears a white scarf around his neck and an olive-colored kesa fastened by a ring over his robes.
"How many times have I told you Aotabō to bring it, not hurl it?" He argued with the person a tall and muscular humanoid Yo-Kai with brown skin and white hair. He dons an iron blue robe, worn underneath a black cloak with a cream-colored fluffy furry collar. It was connected with a white skull necklace.
"It's faster!"
The monk rolled his eyes before he faced the kids. "You boys okay?"
"Such a muscle head are you kids alright"t the Monk looking at them.
"We're fine, sir."
"That was so scary."
"That was so manly!"
"It's nothing to brag about; it was a lot of practice is all."
"My name is Kirishima sir!"
"Kurotabō."
"That's a cool name, sir!"
" Thank you for the compliment." He then grabbed the other. "And this muscle brain is Aotabo."
"Oi!"

Shoto was alone by himself, checking out the Youkai residents walking, peddling, interacting, and the likes. He didn't want to make friends as he didn't go along with the group. It was bizarre and something he never thought to see in his lifetime.
But then a thought entered his brain. If they exist, could they help him find his brother? But if they could, how could he ask without actually asking?
"Excuse me are you a Yuki-onna?" Shoto was startled seeing someone that close to him.
She was a woman youkai with long hair colored a mixture of black, white, and blue with two wavy horizontal lines along one side of her head. Her eyes were large amber circles with multiple rings inside of them. Over her back was a long white scarf, and she held a furisode with a snowflake pattern along the hem and bottom of her sleeves.
"Oh, wait, sorry. I just noticed a cold sensation on one side of you." She touched his shoulder lightly. "And the other is hot but very dormant."
He turned away from her. "I don't want to talk about it."
"It's alright, I understand. We all have our secrets." Tilting her head, she continued with, "But is your name one?"
Shoto would have brushed her aside uncaring, but something inside of him the cold part was pushing him. It felt like meeting a long-lost relative that he wanted to connect with. "Todoroki Shoto."
"Nice to meet you. My name is Oikawa Tsurara." After her introduction, a low growling noise was heard.
"Do have any soba stalls?" Shoto asked.
"Oh, this way!" She took his arm and guided him to a small stall. There, Sato and Sero were eating delicious ramen.
Of course, the menu held other stuff including soba. As well as:
Eyeball Takoyaki
Puffer whale fish Sashimi
Eyeball Ojiya
Ozone Herb Tea
Bananattou
Ghost Au lait Drink
Rainbow Pudding
Sitting down, Shoto ordered soba while Tsurara placed her bottom next to him for the same. After getting their food, the fire-ice user was amazed at how flawless the noodles were. It only increased his appetite. He went to town as Tsurara froze her tea with her breath and drank it. Shoto was amazed her ice powers as it was flawless and better control.

Tokoyami was wandering around. Unlike the others who some could tell were human, the residents mistook him for a Tengu. It was something he didn't mind as he was a huge fan of Hawks, the No.3 hero.
"Excuse me, brethren." Tokoyami spotted a small crow youkai flying just above him. It had a large, round head with a small beak, tiny red pupils, and a dark red token on its forehead. It wore a traditional creme-colored robe with prayer beads around its neck, had tabi on its feet, and had large wings. "Have you seen the young master?"
"I'm sorry?" The bird took a closer look. The surprise of what he discovered hit him.
"Oh, sorry. I didn't know you were human. I'm Karasu Tengu."
Being polite, the bird human said, "I am Tokoyami."
"Introduce me too!" Dark Shadow emerged from his stomach.
"Oh, this must be your thing you call a Quirk," said the birdman staring at Dark Shadow.
"Dark Shadow, stay quiet. The last thing we need is a disturbance." The shadow bird retreated into Tokoyami, remembering the warning the scary platinum itako said.
Karasu cupped his bird-like chin, saying, "So, his name is Dark Shadow."
"Yes."
"Sounds kind of redundant." Blue lines formed on his head. "It also reminds me of noroi."
"Curses?"
"Uh, never mind that, young one. I better go." The tengu then flew away to seek his master.
Tokoyami silently watched him go. His inner thoughts wanted to touch onto this connection he was feeling. Was this his bird instinct telling him of an alpha?
XXX
Aoyama was looking at the sculptures and arts of the Youkai town with sparkles in his eyes.
"C'est Magnifique! I never thought I'd see something so shiny and sparkle."
Jirou followed after, sitting down and listening to a shamisen player. While not punk rock, this was attracting her soul strongly. As she continued to listen tears flooded from her eyes.
The song was Tsugaru Ohara Bushi from Mashiro no Oto.
XXX
Ojiro was watching someone training in Martial Arts, using their body to bend steel easily. Maybe this could be used in improvisation using his tail.
XXX
Uraraka and Iida were looking at glass souvenirs. It shined brightly due to its surroundings.
"I can't believe that something like this existed under our noses, Uraraka," Iida said as he examined the item. He then carefully put it back before smiling. "I wish I could tell Tensei about it."
"Yeah. It's too bad we signed that disclosure agreement…" Uraraka said in support of his thoughts.
"At least I can get him this."
"Hm. Maybe I can get my parents a gift too."
XXX
Koda was being surrounded by Bakeneko girls. His Quirk apparently had a strong effect on animal youkai as well. Each one surrounded him, playing with the giant rock boy.
Thankfully, he was saved by someone with khaki, scruffy hair that turned black at the neck, possessing deep red eyes with small pupils. His skin was pale and he wore a purple kimono under a dark blue Haori with red details along the sleeves and collar.
"That's quite enough."
"Oh come on; we were just teasing him!"
" Yeah, yeah you smothered him enough." The group left.
"Thank you, Mr-"
"Zen. Let's get you out of here." He then guided Koda away.
XXX
At the blacksmiths, Mosuke was just finishing up the touches as he fixed Harusame. Through hard work, he upgraded the blade; it looked the same, but holding it Amidamaru and Izuku could tell its weight was different. It even seemed slicker and longer.
"So, this is the new and improved Harusame." Amidamaru was looking at the blade.
"Yes, it is." Izuku took the sword and wielded it. He examined the katana's craftsmanship before the blade turned a deep shade of forest jade.
"It changed color?"
"That's new." Amidamaru examined the blade.
"That's the Scarlet Crimson Ore I used," spoke Mosuke as he explained his process. "It's a very rare metal I kept just for you and your new master should the Shaman Fight begin, but it felt more appropriate to use it now."
Amidamaru bowed to Mosuke. "Thank you again Mosuke, I'm indebted to you once more."
"Oh, forget about it you moron. But, I won't say no to a free drink." His laughter followed.
And Amidamaru was good with it. "Just point me at the bar."
"Oh, one more thing." The oni took out another sheathed sword and tossed it over to Izuku. He caught it easily. "I also made that. Check it out."
Izuku drew the katana, surprised to see that the blade was different. Checking the edge, it was reversed meaning the blade would be facing him if he held us. "It's reversed?"
"The young master is going to be a pro hero, so I made this so you won't have to worry about killing villains."
That caught him off guard. "Wait, how do you know that?"
"We saw you on television and have WiFi." Izuku and Amidamaru stared at him. "… what? We're youkai, not savages."
"Sorry." Izuku gave him a bow. "Thank you for fixing Harusame and giving me a sword. Speaking of which, what's its name?"
"Oh right…" Mosuke smiled before saying, "I gave it no name actually. You decide."
As Izuku took the time to think over a name, Momo stepped intervention. "Mosuke-san, can you help with something if it's alright?"
"Sure. What is it, young miss?"
"You see, I need some guidance about my Quirk." She then briefly explained how her Quirk worked.
Intrigued by her ability, Mosuke asked, "Can you create a small knife?"
She went to work pulling a knife out of her arm. One look and the oni was disappointed. "I see."
"Ara?"
"Young miss, your Quirk can create anything, but only at the base level. It lacks the essentials of a true artisan." He then took the knife and snapped it like a twig. He then handed over a sword from his collection. "Try touching this and telling me what you feel."
Momo touched the blade. "It's heavy, but I felt a feeling of rush like a soul."
"And there it is." Mosuke adjusted himself before he continued: "You lack the heart and soul a blacksmith puts into their creations. Every time I hammer the steel I work hard on it. I don't bother thinking about the atom because I think about what is far more necessary for the blade's creation."
He patted her shoulder, almost hurting her. "What you should do is make your own sword from scratch, by hand. That will give you the feel of blacksmithing and help give your creations greater depth."
"But all my training has been for learning chemistry and gaining knowledge."
"Knowledge is one thing, but the experience is what crafts perfection. And Japan doesn't allow guns for minors, so focusing on forging steel weapons for fights. If you try to think of something complicated but didn't have the time, then this experience will help you unlock your true potential in craftsmanship."
"Do you think so?" Learning all of this, Momo was in awe as she wanted to learn more.
"Of course, if you want me to teach you, I could… but, you might want to ask for her permission."
Momo's eyes sparkled. "Thank you."
It was getting late and all of class 1-A regrouped and got ready to go home.
"So how was your day?" Mina asked the others.
"I decided to learn to make ramen," Sato said with a thumbs up.
"I met a cool monk."
"We met a big sister figure."
"…"
As everyone chatted and returned to the shrine where they got it, Anna spoke, "What do you think of the youkai world?"
"They aren't that much different from us."
"They were frightening looking, but we're not scared at all."
"I made a friend."
"Good. This is one of the reasons why I showed you. You see, in this quirk-based society there will be those who look different because of mutations and made to be seen with fear and prejudice." Shoji, Tsuyu,Ojiro and Tokoyami felt that. "You can see how humans and youkai interact together with no trouble and fear, and it is something you must burn into your mind as those who looked like scum or Villians don't mean they should be treated like villains. Youkai are born from humans just as villains are born because of this society.
"I brought you all here not to show you the existence of youkai, but to burn that passion into you. When you become heroes, saving people and beating up bad guys isn't enough. You need to try and change the world one step at a time. Change the perspective of those who live among us, so heroes are no longer necessary."
All gave her the look of awe, especially the mutant-types. Shoji who wanted to become a hero wanted to change the perspective of others even more. Tsuyu at first wanted to become a hero because of a promise, but now she wanted to do more. Tokoyami was also the same, along with Ojiro.
There was more she wanted to say, but they weren't ready. "Now, let's go home."
Midnight…
Izuku and Amidamaru were looking inside an old building where curses manifested. Hired to clean up, it's the perfect time to test Harusame 2.0.
"So, this is where you're going." Midnight was there as well, looming at the scary-looking building as she promised.
"Yes, buildings like these have a lot of negative energy as it feeds on curses. The victims will be unaware of their presence since they can't see them. Thankfully, this is a low class, but we must remain cautious Midnight sensei; we don't know what it can do."
"So I just keep close to you." The R-18 woman just leaned behind the Shaman, his body went hot feeling her chest pressing against him.
"Midnight sensei, this is too much!"
"Oh, you want more?" as she leaned even more.
Amidamaru held a fist to his mouth to cover his own redness watching the woman's theatrics.
As the two of them walked into the building slowly, they gained an eerie feeling. Indecipherable whispers echoed in the darkness. Sweat stuck to their skin with a cold cling.
Midnight, now in her pro hero mode, scanned warily through this horror setting. She kept looking around hearing whispers and laughter.
"Stay close and keep your eyes open. We don't know what we might encounter." Amidamaru became an Oversoul, ready to go in case.
"Understood. Still what type will we encounter Midoriya?"
"All Noroi are different. The most dangerous are the special grade class; apparently, they can talk."
"Wait, they can be intelligent?!" she asked in shock.
"I don't get how, but it's rumors I heard ." Izuku worried if this should be such. Jujutsu users would handle those kinds of monsters while the Shaman faced the strays the former were too busy with. But despite them being small fries, the negativity could upgrade them in minutes. "It's scary to think that such a place like Tartarus would be home to plenty of these monsters. Luckily, without a catalyst that won't be possible…"
The area became too quiet. "Midnight Sensei?"
He turned around quickly, only to find his teacher was gone. Amidamaru cursed, "Damn it; this is why we should have held her hand Izuku-dono."
"I told you, I'm not ready for that!" Izuku replied, his face turning red remembering how she acted just a few minutes ago.
"What about Itsuka-dono?"
"Sparring doesn't count!"
"Whatever. We need to find Nemuri-Dono's whereabouts first. Who knows what misfortune and life she would endure."
"Yes!" he shouted as both of them dashed.
XXX
Midnight didn't know what happened.
All she did was follow her student and the next thing she was here in this dark place. She could hear words that she had forgotten long ago.
"Get a look of that woman; is she a hero or a slut?"
"With an outfit like that, she was probably an escort as a child."
"Only a whore would wear something like that."
"Yeah, my boyfriend kept worshiping her. I hate her fucking guts."
"If she's like that, it won't be long until someone offs her."
"Just pretend to like her in front of a crowd."
When she wore her civilian outfit, she would often hear all of these comments from others. When she walked or mingled with the normal, sure she got used to it and stopped caring, but it still hurts.
Then she saw a vision of her as a child. Everywhere she went, she lacked the control she has now with her Quirk, and that put people to sleep causing accidents. She cried when her peers compared her to the Evil Queen from Snow White or Maleficent. It took until high school before she changed her image and became more confident.
Then she heard something; it was a voice she hadn't heard for so long. "Why?" Oboro appeared before her, a corpse stalking forth straight out of Night of the Living Dead. More followed.
"Why didn't you save us?"
"You're supposed to be a hero!"
"Please help!"
"It hurts!"
The victims the heroes couldn't save surrounded her, grabbing and pulling her as their voices taunted her more and more.
In truth, deep down, Midnight could have saved Oboro and those she couldn't save. But, she's only human. She's not even All Might. He couldn't save everyone, so how could she? Innocent people and heroes had died in the line of duty; some by accident, others by being outclassed. The survivors of those incidents held PTSD as a result and were forced to hide it, just like her.
All of this became suffocating for her. She was drowning in an abyss of the undead. Everything grew darker. All she heard were those taunting voices.
She gave up. "Maybe it's better this way."
Then a hand reached down and pulled her out.
"Good work, Izuku-dono!" Izuku pulled the pro hero from the Domain Expansion liquid lake. As he managed to capture the spirit bonded with a talisman twitching, and its goblin body with the head of an ant, he was able to focus on her rescue.
"Those fear illusions must have gotten to her. She's not breathing."
"Then perform CPR," Amidamaru suggested.
Again, he froze. "Well, I mean, we don't have to-"
"There's no time for you to be squeamish! CPR training is mandatory for all hero course students!"
Not willing to argue a second time, because then he'd be the bad guy, Izuku pushed against her chest three times before locking lips to blow air into her lungs. Clumsy but carefully, he repeated these steps, until she regurgitated black sludge.
The woman continued to cough, trying to regain air and composure. Once he's felt she's ready he asked, "Nemuri-san, are you okay?"
One look and she's hugging the boy tightly. Unwilling to let go because he was aware she went through a traumatic experience, he let her hold onto him for a few minutes. And then, the exhaustion and stress put her into slumber.

With the mission finished, Midoriya was piggyback-carrying the pro heroine. Luckily, he could spin the fact that she was drunk or something so no one would be suspicious. His jacket also covered her so no one would recognize Nemuri as Midnight.
They reached his apartment where he gently put her in the guest room.
"Another day, another Shaman work's done." Sarcasm poisoned the words to the very gore.
"I wish I knew where she lived. Well, it's better here than at some hero agency." Izuku yawned as he went to bed. "Man, that was tiring."
"Luckily, tomorrow's Sunday."
"Yup." Not bothering to bathe, he plopped on his bed.
All the while, he felt his lips remembering the CPR he performed. Sure it wasn't a real kiss, but it's not something he can write off. He felt Midnight's lips, and boy were they soft. . Izuku quickly try to get some sleep.
Midnight woke up in the morning after her traumatizing event. This was her first experience, she underestimated the curse and should have prepared more. The nightmares were still in her mind, but her student gave her hope saving her from despair. He even saved her life.
She touched her lips and blushed as this was her first kiss. CPR, sure, but a kiss is a kiss.
'That boy is sure is something.'
Getting up, she examined that her surroundings were unfamiliar. But with all the shamanic items and All Might merchandise, it was clearly obvious where she was. And next to her on a table was a fresh pair of clean clothes. 'How thoughtful.'

Izuku was making breakfast for his guest. Thankfully, his mom was called in by his aunt to help with something. It would have been a big headache explaining to his mother why a dominatrix was in the guestroom.
"So what do we do today, Izuku-Dono?"
"With Harusame fixed, we'll continue training. We should start at Aunt Anna's private grounds. The Sports Festival is still on its way."
"I agree as everyone is training harder than ever before." He was pretty sure Anna's speech motivated the gang even harder.
Soon, the sound of someone coming down the stairs caught their ears. "Oh, Kayam-AH!" Both Shaman and spirit froze seeing the pro heroine dressed in only a white shirt that covered her down below.
"Something smells good. Breakfast?"
"Why are you wearing that?! I already prepared clothes for you!" said the Shaman kid, trying not to look at the almost see-through shirt sticking to her body.
"As if I could miss this opportunity! It's straight out of a movie!" She winked at her student as she came down.
Rebuking would just add more fuel to the fire. "Let's just enjoy breakfast Kayama-san."
"Itadakimass!" The two of them ate, her breakfast consisting of vegetable tofu soup, salmon, and rice.
She gushed at how it tasted. "Mm! You'd make a great husband."
The boy's erubescence increased. "Please. I'm just good at cooking."
While chewing some rice, she gazed at her surroundings, the magnanimous building along with the Shaman stuff and All Might figurines. "So this is where you live… It's bigger than my own place."
"Yes, my aunt bought this place for me and mom to live in."
"Oh, how kind of her." This was her sarcasm. Her whole hero career she's despised Anna, and she knew she wasn't the only one. But, who would suspect that she and Izuku were related?
"So, about yesterday… thank you for saving me."
"It's alright; this was your first time against curses." He gave her a more serious look. "But next time, we'll handle it alone. You can just make sure no one gets involved, or tell us if you've found it."
She nodded. "I understand. I'll be careful, but if anything goes wrong I will still help."
"That's all I need."
Both of them continued eating, not a single one bringing up the CPR. Thank goodness.
After that, Midnight threw on her civilians. Making sure no one saw her leaving, she quickly went straight home. Izuku sighed as she left, glad that no one saw her. Now to begin his day.
This crossover with Nurarihon no Mago I planned it for a very long time. As I wanted that Shaman to know the existence of Youkai. That both Shaman Youkai are like allies but that doesn't mean they would intervene with human politics and conflicts. Of course it's like cameo appearance to the story.
Vice and Ultimo is from the Manga Karakuri Douji Ultimo as it seems obvious.
I added the road trip just for the Furlough scene for once that class 1-a went somewhere. And interact with the characters from Nurarihon and theirs similarities.
Harusame has always been fix in the Shaman King canon but never been improved as Mosuke only used the body as to fix and not improving. As a blacksmith, it's natural that they wanted to improve their skill even more than just fixing Harusame.
The oni idea is from Slime Tensei Kurobe who is an oni and blacksmith
It's also based on the mobile game Onmyoji. Those who aren't interested in the game can just watch the story especially Asura.
The food is from the Manga and anime Toriko. It's a good mange it's a shame some forgotten how awesome it was.
Some idea I wanted to use Youkai from the manga and anime Ushio and Tora, Bakegyamon, and Kekkaishi.
Thank Bastion for the Beta reading.
