The activities soon come to an end to bring on the final event for the last 16 students. Izuku and Shinso were up first with Izuku going under Shinso's control and starts walking out of the ring. Kagome didn't worry though, knowing Izuku would be able to figure out how to break it. Since she wasn't able to hear what they were saying to each other, she cheers for Izuku to kick ass. This caught both fighters off guard, giving Izuku that split second to flick his finger and gain control. The match was over soon after, Izuku victorious over Shinso.

Todoroki and Sero came up next, but the match didn't last very long with Todoroki capturing Sero with his ice and immobilizing him. Next was Kaminari and Ibara. Kaminari goes for his best right off the bat but fries himself with Ibara capturing him with her vines as she advances to the next set. Iida and Hatsume take the ring moments later, but Hatsume uses Iida as a sales pitch for 'her babies' before stepping out of the ring herself, letting Iida advance.

It was time for Kagome and Ashido to make their appearance and fight for the next level. The girls meet in the middle before Mic lets them start and high-five each other with wide smiles. "START!" Kagome drops and sweeps her leg under Ashido, making the girl lose her balance and stumble backward a bit. Kagome stands and keeps attacking her opponent, Ashido steps back to avoid getting hit while keeping an eye on where the line was. As she gets closer, she slashes acid at Kagome who brings up a small barrier to block. Ashido uses this second to move from the line and get back into the center. Kagome quickly turns and charges at Ashido, pulling her into full hand-to-hand combat. Ashido matches Kagome's pace for a few moments, blocking and throwing her own punches before Kagome started moving faster, her body slightly glowing to help her along. It would seem that they were evenly matched until Kagome lands a hit on Ashido's cheek and sends her flying over the line. "Higurashi advances to the next stage!" Once hearing that, Kagome goes over and helps her friend up, walking with her to the infirmary.

"That was fun," they both say before giggling and disappearing from the field. Tokoyami and Yaoyorozu came up next with Tokoyami winning and getting to advance to the next stage. Kirishima and Tetsutetsu then start their fight but it ends in a draw with both knocking the other out. The next match, however, made Kagome and the rest of her class worry. Ochaco v.s. Katsuki. Ochaco was smart, she would make it work out and get herself noticed. Kagome knew her friend could do it.

The matchup started and Kagome was holding the rail tightly with concern. She wanted to cheer for them, for both of them. But something caught in her throat as she watched them fight.

"You're that bastard Inuyasha, huh?! I'll exterminate you!" Kagome gasps as she sees Ochaco's form flash into Sango's before quickly disappearing again. "Fine. I'll go with you." The match ended before Kagome could even think. Katsuki was advancing to the next stage with many people of the crowd booing him

"Fragile?" Kagome finally speaks as she repeats what people were saying. "Ochaco isn't fragile."


Going into the second stage of matchups after the tiebreaker, Kagome tries to relax as she watches Izuku and Todoroki walk into the ring. She takes a seat closest to the rail, wanting to know what they were saying to each other. Minutes go by and all Todoroki has used is his ice, making the right side of this body start freezing up from the low temperature. Izuku was breaking himself as the fight continues, telling Todoroki to come at him with everything he's got. The others of the class were talking about how strong Katsuki and Todoroki were and how they were able to keep firing with everything in them. Katsuki called them idiots and goes into an explanation on how quirks are physical attributes and comparing it to running and having a hard time breathing afterward. There are always limits. Izuku ends up landing a hit on Todoroki's torso and sending him back. They continue to talk back and forth, getting louder and louder as the seconds go by. Kagome was finally able to hear them and somehow knew what Izuku was trying to say to him.

"I'll show my father…"

"YOUR POWER IS YOUR OWN!" two voices scream in unison. One on the field and one in the stands where their class was sitting. Those voices paired together made an impact on the entire stadium, sending one shared shiver through everyone. Kagome covers her mouth realizing that her classmates were looking at her strangely. The power of their voices was surprising, even for them. Todoroki watched as Izuku had said it but the second voice caught him off guard completely. He didn't dare look back at Kagome, knowing it wouldn't be anyone but her to join Izuku. A moment of silence takes over the stadium before Todoroki erupts in flames from his left side. Endeavor starts shouting from the stands of the Pros, trying to give his son a pep talk that he didn't care to listen to. Izuku and Todoroki run at each other with everything in them only to meet a wall of cement from Cementoss. Smoke rises from the field, covering them from everyone's sight.

"What's happening?!" Mineta screams. Kagome already knew the outcome, feeling Izuku's energy calm down into an unconscious state against the far wall. Todoroki moves to the third round. Izuku is taking to the infirmary as quickly as possible while Kagome rushes to meet him there.

"Deku!" she yells as she opens the door, scaring the male that had just woken up. "Why did you do that?"

"You said the same thing, though, Kagome…" he replies. "I heard your voice yell with me." Kagome blushes slightly.

"I'm not the one in the nurse's bed," she says crossing her arms. "What were you thinking?"

"Honestly I wasn't…" Izuku looks down. "If I hadn't said anything I could have won, but I -we needed to tell him."

"But now you finish in eighth place," Kagome sighs as the others walk in, scaring the injured boy again.


Katsuki and Kirishima got to their fight, making a sort of show. Katsuki takes the victory for the fight and moves to the third stage of the final event. Kagome was up again, this time against Tokoyami.

Getting back onto the field, Kagome could feel herself getting tired from the constant fighting. But since Tokoyami's quirk was darkness based, Kagome had no trouble handling herself and winning with her light energy. Giving her the final spot for the last four students. Todoroki and Iida fight next, letting Kagome rest for her match against Katsuki. "Kagome?" Ochaco says as she taps on the girl's shoulder.

"Yeah? What's up?"

"Are you going to be ok against Bakugo?" she asks quickly. Ochaco had a hard time against the male but that meant Kagome could get really hurt going against him. "I know you two are kinda friends," she blushes remembering finding them in the waiting room. "But you know that won't make him go easy on you…"

"I'll be fine," Kagome smiles at her. "If I lose that means I get third place, but if I win I go against Todoroki." Ochaco shivers slightly at the thought of Kagome fighting the two-toned male. "I'm actually looking forward to fighting Kacchan. When we were little he would refuse to fight me, saying that I shouldn't have to fight," Kagome chuckles at the memory. "Now he has no choice but to fight me." A smirk graces Kagome's face, thinking of what she could do against Katsuki. Ochaco backs away from her, finding the expression to be terrifying.

Todoroki wins the fight like many thought he would and moves to the final stage. He passes Kagome in the hall as he leaves the field, stopping for a moment to speak to her. "Why?"

"Hm?" Kagome looks at him confused for a moment.

"Don't play dumb, Higurashi." His voice was cold again, making Kagome slightly flinch.

"It just came out," Kagome answers finally as she looks away from him. "Whatever is happening in your world is making you so sad that you won't use half your quirk. I may not know what is going on, but I do know that I hate seeing you with such a sad look." The words flew out before she could stop herself from speaking too much. Kagome covers her mouth again, feeling like she had just crossed a line with Todoroki. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean-"

"Just stop," he snaps at her. "You're right, you don't know anything. So don't put your nose where it doesn't belong." He turns from her to leave but she grabs his wrist before he could.

"Todoroki," Kagome starts again, still not looking at him. "What is making those beautiful eyes so sad?" Todoroki stands there for a moment just looking at her. He knew she wasn't trying to be rude, she was just concerned for her friend. His eyes soften as he looks down at her, not sure what to say or do at this point. "Y-you don't have to tell me," Kagome begins panicking, not wanting to lose her friend over something like this. "B-but I'm here if you ever need someone to go to." She gives him a soft smile, one full of care.

"Alright!" Mic shouts to the crowd. "Our second to last fight is going to start soon!" Kagome lets go of Todoroki and turns towards the opening of the field.

"I hope I can see a demonstration of your flames sometime, Todoroki," she says over her shoulder. "Like when you showed me your ice." With that, she leaves him standing there in silence before he heads to the stands.

"Bakugo vs. Higurashi!" The two students make it into the ring, waiting for the word to start.

"You have no choice now, Kacchan," Kagome smirks at him as she gets ready.

"Like you could do anything in the first place," he mocks with a smirk of his own.

"START."
