"What are you…?" Surprised, Sayako blinks baffled taken aback as she stares stunned surprised to see Shinso in his causal clothes well different clothes from normal. He appears upon a bike of some sort making her furrow her brow befuddled by the sheer sight of the vehicle. She furrows her brow when noting the camera draped over his neck like a necklace almost as he stares pokerfaced at her as her nose twitches at the salty sea air of the waves washing one over the other.
"Get on." Shinso sighs gesturing to said bike.
"But…" Unsure, Sayako glances behind her brow furrowed it was a weekend and the loud sharp sounds of snoring echoed throughout the open-air no doubt from her aunt Kiyoko who she could see peer out of the room with heavy musk of greasy sludge slopped upon her as she snores loudly. A part of her was surprised, shocked even that Hikaru could sleep through it a part of her was impressed while another aspect of hers was envious. Still, she had to ponder if blaming them would really be the reason for her sleep issues or would it just be her unable to sleep…she used to love sleeping, it always made her feel relaxed, at ease but now…now she had no clue, she really didn't.
"Get your arm on and get on." Shinso sighs telling her how it is taking her aback by the cold curt command.
"I…fine." Feebly, Sayako sighs exhaustion etched into her exhausted exhale having no energy to argue, she was already up, she should do something rather than loaf around all day even if the offer was tempting besides where Shinso got that bike from perplexed Sayako. She had no clue where he even got the bike from but here he stood bike and all as she sighed. Slowly, she makes her way back to her room, reaching towards a familiar box by her beside which she puts on, flexing her fingertips taking a fair few shaky breathes before reaching out to the cabinet, taking out some pills taking a handful of so, preparing for the threat of pain ahead just in case. It was better than the IV bag she knew that much…still she turns to Shinso returning to his side. She sighs shakily, closing her eyes mentally preparing herself as next she knew, she and Shinso took off, heading to who knows where…
"Pretty good view right?" Shinso smirks slightly feeling the cool crisp sea breeze smoothly brush through his lilac locks tousling them as the two stop at the top of some sort.
"Can't believe I agreed to this." Tiredly, Sayako sighs slumping her shoulders exhausted etched into her fatigued facial features
"Helps the bad thoughts go away though right?" Shinso remarks amused almost at the thought as he gets off the bike.
"…I hate it when you're right." Sayako sighs grumbling as she too gets off the bike.
"So always." Arrogantly, he smirks smugly as the two stand side by side
"Oh shush…" Softly, Sayako places her hand on Shinso's striped shirt.
"Still it was nice wouldn't mind doing that a bit more…" Meekly, Sayako sighs softly sitting herself down on the beach. They reach the top oblivious to Shinso slowly taking out his camera for a moment he simply stares out at the girl before him. The brisk breeze of the warm wind blowing through her hair tousling her blonde roots with faint hints of brown. Oblivious, Sayako combs her fingertips through her hair unaware to Shinso's lilac hues softening slightly as he takes his shot at the girl simply staring out as one shot hits just as she perks up at the petite purr below, making her gasp turning to stare down at the cute kitten ignorant to Shinso's hues softening, a small shy smile upon his lips. He takes aim and fires before sighing slowly sitting down by her side joining her.
"You know…no matter what happens whatever you pick I'm here." Honestly, Shinso assures her.
"That is if I find one." Sighing, Sayako scowls at her lack of a backup.
"You will…with time it just takes time." Tentatively, Shinso assures her.
"But how long? Shinso I have spent my whole life training to be a hero while kids were out there doing what they want I had a schedule, I had to train, I had to model, I had to…to…to…" Scowling, Sayako pries impatience oozing out of her tense tone only then to falter grimacing at the brief bleach white flickering briefly before her eyes making her wince at the sharp shining light blinding her.
"All good things come to those who wait you just got to wait." Softly, Shinso reassures her bringing her into a side hug.
"Urrrghhh but that sounds like efffffoooorrt." Annoyed, she whines childishly puffing her cheeks out as she leans back craning her head up to the baby blue sky before swiftly slamming her head upon his shoulder.
"I'm sure it does but you're not alone." Softly, Shinso reassures her combing his fingertips through her hair trying to comfort her, rubbing patterns into her scalp.
"Alright…thanks Shinso…" Shyly, she whispers nuzzles nestling into the side of his shoulder.
"Don't mention it kitten." Gently, Shinso whispers nuzzling into her side.
"Wait what's with the polaroid?" Curious, Sayako quirks her head to the side, furrowing her brow befuddled.
"Nothing…" Shyly, Shinso tries to hide said camera but…
"No come on let me see." Smiling, she whines wrapping her arms around him on her tippy toes, beaming brightly.
"No." Sternly, Shinso snaps.
"Why not?" Sayako cranes her head to the side smiling softly up at him.
"You're the model remember?" Shino grumbles grumpily glaring to the side scowling.
"Shinso anyone can be a model even you." Gently, Sayako sighs at him.
"Have you seen my face?" Frowning, Shinso deadpans only for his hues to widen when feeling Sayako slides her hand through, cupping the side of his face.
"Yes I have for a fact and like I've told you time and time again it's a pretty boy face besides have you seen yourself with a ponytail you'd be making the girls swoon you know." Teasingly, Sayako smirks combing her fingertips through his hair as he hums looking away from her, leaning into her side slightly leaning into her touch a faint cheery crimson tint to his cheeks from her tender touch alone.
"I don't need to be lied to you know?" Shinso sighs furrowing his brow.
"I'm not lying look." Sighing, she furrows her brow at him swiftly snatching said camera.
"Oi!" Shinso scowls at her.
"Hey if you can take a photo so can I! Now say cheese!" Cheerily, she smirks posing for the camera.
"Cheese…" Blushing, Shinso sighs, a heavy hue of ruby red shyly sneaking up upon his cheeks as he feels her arm draped over him into a side hug of sorts. He crouches down from such a hold, his cheek touching her own as they both beam into the camera eager to record this day for many to come….
"Are you sure we should be here?" Unsure, Yagi squirms slightly on the car seat.
"It's fine." Frowning, Aizawa answers.
"But you heard her answer last time not to mention what Kazz said." Sighing, Yagi furrows his brow grimacing tremors coursing through him at the morbid memory of dealing with said doctor, a ghost a living corpse almost with how exhausted he looked, surprised the bags on him hadn't dragged him down to the ground surprised to not see him in a coffin. He had seen him tend to every single need of Best Jeanist refusing to leave his side, demanding to be his doctor using the authority to do so.
"I never thought the number one would be terrified." Aizawa smirks slightly amused almost.
"Kazz is terrifying he was scary when we eve asked about her location." Shaking, Yagi whimpers.
"Yes well U.A hasn't been the best for her…" Honestly, Aizawa sighs sadly he had to confess that he hadn't been the best for her it's why whenever she would make snippy remarks he'd brush it off but…
"…Maybe she was right." Yagi sighs sadly.
"Maybe she was…" Aizawa furrows his brow staring solemnly down at the ground below.
"So what then?" Yagi queries.
"We've given her a fair few weeks…" Aizawa begins but…
"Even if she agrees can we just let her? The dorm is ready yes but to get her stuff packed so quickly…" Yagi points out.
"We'll help that is if she wishes to return to U.A." Aizawa sighs.
"And if she doesn't?" Yagi queries.
"We'll respect her wishes and offer our aid to help her move on." Aizawa states the fact firmly.
"…Aizawa…" Yagi furrows his brow concern clear on his facial features he knew how deeply he cared for her, he could see how her treated
"I swear Kiyoko is trying to make us starve." Seething, she scowls, panic pumping through her vindictive veins feeling her blood boil, bubble, burn, gritting, grinding her teeth together. She couldn't believe how neglectful Kiyoko could be when it came to shopping she had to wonder if Kiyoko did that on purpose to try to bring her out into the open more. Urgh…Sayako could feel her hue twitch tiredly as she stomps out of the store, shopping bag in hand as anxiously, she slides the sleeve of her hoodie over her arm, her hand gloved as she makes her way back home huffing that was until…
"Relax…besides at least we get to choose food tonight." Sighing, Shinso offers optimistically as he holds his respective bags dangling down his hands. The two try to head back to the house however when they reach the beachfront, their hues widen when seeing some sort of sea monster creature a titan almost emerging from the seafront, jewels of gold glinting gleaming around his braided ten trail like hairnet of sorts, feral fangs peer out of his lips as he cackles to the high heavens, his tentacles reaching out towards the children amongst the seafront including…
"Stop someone help!" Surprised, Sayako jolts up at the voice turning towards it, her hues widening when she turns towards the sharp screech where her heart drops at the sheer sight of her baby brother, clutching clinging to his sketchpad sniffling terrified.
"Fool do you know who I am!? I am a god of the sea!" Sadistically, said sea god cackles to the high heavens.
"Hikaru!" Sayako screams dropping said bags lunging over to the scene.
"Sayako wait!" Shinso calls out to her his hues widening when seeing no hesitation at all from her, he couldn't help but stare how…? How was she able to move her body like that no faint fear flickering before her as she threw her body before the fight…and here she said she shouldn't be a hero…was this what it took to be a hero? To fight back against the instinct of flight furrowing his brow. He couldn't help but feel a familiar sickening sensation of envy throbbing in his tense constrict chest watching on as she darts to the scene clumsily catching up behind her.
"Sayako!" Smiling, Hikaru beams brightly at the blonde.
"You dare try to stop me whelp!" The villain roars as he releases his tentacles towards her only then to gasp as she swiftly twists her wrist making said villain cry out anguished as the tenacles come crashing down swiftly sliced to pieces making the male reel his head back anguished as he freed the children from the tentacles coiled around the kid, only then to bat Sayako to the side as the blonde blur is thrown back hitting the ground below making her hiss.
"Sayako!" Shinso cries out panic pumping through his veins rushing over to her side as she shakily stands, raising her hand stopping him wincing but glaring at the beast before her.
"Shinso take Hikaru and the other kids away!" Sternly, Sayako tells him.
"But…" Shino begins but Sayako's green soon blares blue, her chest constricting, her throat tightens as everything seemingly slows down. Her hues dilate when she turns towards the stray tentacle aimed at her only making her hues narrow. Swiftly, she snatches Shinso by his arm and tackles him to the side, both of them narrowly missing said strike.
"The civilians come first Shinso!" Sternly, she shouts at him standing up as she helps him up. Glassy green gaze into a pair of panicked pained lilac.
"Alright…be careful." Shinso sighs slumping his shoulders, giving in clearly concerned as the two separate, Shinso heading towards the kids.
"Shinso your scarf!" Sternly, she calls out to him his hues widen as his lilac clash against her green before nodding, understanding flickering between both of them. He tosses the scarf at her which she swiftly catches in the air as Shinso swings her while she herself lunges towards the beast, reeling her gauntlet back before bashing it into the beast's side screeching, screaming, shouting to the high heavens as next thing the group knew…
"No you can't do thi-ARGHHHH!" Anguished, the male cries out as the small mini tuna like kids come crashing down into the sand shore below revealing an armada of small salmon-like people.
"Oh he's a salmon!" Sayako smiles beaming brightly at the sight of the kids or she assumed were kids but from the sharp scowls sent her way she begged to differ.
"I think you mean tuna." Tiredly, Shinso sighs at her watching her slam her foot down on the ground, threads shooting out coiling around them tying them up just as the car pulls over, the radio report having been heard loud and clear as both shocked teachers tune to stare at the sorted scene before them.
"What was that her not being a hero All Might?" Aizawa smirks slightly towards the baffled blonde gawking, gaping at the scene before him, his hues widen when seeing said blonde before him, standing over the tied-up villain as the police rush over taking the villain off Sayako's hands. Shinso slowly approaches Sayako, Hikaru happily hugs his sister's legs taking her aback. Astonished, she blinks baffled by the happy Hikaru gushing going on and on as Sayako shakily sighs wrapping her arms around her baby brother bringing him into a hug. Shinso places his hand on her shoulder watching a fair few tears freely fall from her slammed shut eyes. She holds her baby brother a wave of relief washing over her happy to see her baby brother back in her arms, safe and sound.
"Sayako!" Surprised, said girl jolts up from the sharp screech as she feels a pair of arms wrap around her almost dive at her as she had returned home to be greeted by the fearful frightened facial features of her furious father frantically looking over her.
"Dad?" Taken aback, Sayako sates stunned at her father furiously looking over at her hurriedly panic plastered all over his face.
"Are you alright? Are you and Hikaru…!?" Huffing, he turns towards Hikaru looking him over as well bringing him into a hug.
"We're fine daddy!" Happily, Hikaru assures Kazz.
"Y-Yeah." Awkwardly, Sayako scowls, furrowing her brow befuddled holding her arm unsure on what to really say.
"But your arm…" Anxiously, Kazz begins brow furrowing eyeing her arm.
"It's fine." Firmly, she snaps sharply shyly trying to hide the limb however…
"Sayako…" Kazz furrows his brow concern clear on his facial features.
"Everything is fine Kazz." Surprised, Kazz jolts up at Yagi's voice.
"He's right Mr Sachiko." Aizawa soon joins in as the two reveal themselves behind her.
"And I can trust you guys?! What are you two even doing here!?" Huffing, Kazz demands glaring glowering at the two before dragging his two children and pulling them behind him protectively glaring glowering at the two on his doorway.
"Dad just let them in." Tiredly, Sayako sighs freeing herself from her father's hold.
"B-But…!" Kazz begins but it falls to deaf ears as she invites them in, having them sit down around the table.
"You really aren't going to give up are you?" Annoyed, Sayako sighs at the two adults taking their seats.
"Just let's sit down and talk about it." Yagi smiles shyly at her sweat sliding down his tense temple.
"Talk about it!? there is nothing to talk about! You trespassed! You…You're not even meant to be here!" Furious, Kazz soon rushes in incensed making Sayako sigh.
"That is enough dad." Sternly, Sayako snaps.
"Sayako." Kazz begins but…
"It's fine dad." Firmly, Sayako repeats her point.
"B-But…" Shyly, Kazz sputters stammering slightly however…
"It's fine." Frankly, Sayako states.
"It's okay dad." Hikaru joins in smiling shyly tugging at his trouser leg.
"Why don't you sit down?" Sayako offers.
"I'll make some tea." Shinso joins in.
"Thanks Shinso." Sighing, Sayako nods her head at him as he imply nods his head back.
"So…how did you find out where Sayako was?" Kazz's hues narrow crossing his arms over his chest cross.
"Dad…" Sayako sighs exhaustion etched into her fatigued facial features.
"She is meant to be resting at the least recovering from what happened to her." Kazz argues annoyed.
"She is also right here." Snippily, Sayako grumbles glaring to the side.
"Sayako…" Kazz begins brow furrowing.
"Dad I told you I can speak for myself." Miserably, Sayako snaps scowling.
"…Apologies. I just…" Kazz sighs slumping his shoulders.
"I know dad I do." Drained, Sayako sighs combing her fingertips through her hair tugging at a stray strand of blonde.
"Here." Shinso sighs gently placing the platter down.
"Thanks. I take it Shinso's been helping…" Yagi smiles shyly taking the cup of tea.
"He's been doing bits and pieces…" Aloofly, Sayako shrugs.
"So I take it this is about U.A." Kazz mutters under his breath bitterly.
"…Yes." Aizawa confirms sipping said tea from Shinso nodding his head grateful.
"You lot don't know when to quit do ya?" Sayako grumbles glaring to the side scowling.
"We simply want to give you another offer at…" Yagi begins but…
"The dorms right? You think sticking everyone in the same dorm will solve anything? Will make up for what happened?" Kazz sneers scowling cutting Yagi off.
"Dad!" Sternly, she snaps at him.
"We believe it will provide protection for the kids under our care." Curtly, Aizawa cuts in.
"I allowed my daughter to be under your care and look what happened." Haughtily, Kazz sharply slams his hand down upon the table.
"It won't happen again Mr Sachiko you have my word." Resolved, Aizawa assures Kazz earning a sharp scoff from him.
"And your word means so much to mean." Kazz sneers disgust drenched in his tense tone.
"You can't keep her in here forever she needs to get out eventually." Aizawa points out.
"And she is right here again." Annoyed, Sayako sneers scowling only to relax from the hand on her shoulder, squeezing said shoulder, she looks up, her greens gazing into a pair of stern lilac. She sighs shakily trying to ease her nerves.
"And she has been going out." Shinso points out.
"Clearly." Aizawa remarks glaring at Kazz who happily glares back the air tightens tension hanging heavily.
"That fight you got into was pretty heroic if I do say so myself." Meekly, Yagi offers trying to lighten the tight tension in the air.
"The ass was going to attack my brother that's all that mattered to me." Sayako states the fact firmly.
"You still saved lives Sayako no matter how selfish the motive may be." Gently, Aizawa assures her.
"…You're really not going to give up on this are you?" Tiredly, Sayako sighs furrowing her brow.
"Afraid not…" Aizawa answers.
"…Shinso could you take Hikaru out?" Politely, Sayako turns to Shinso who nods his head,.
"I'll be fine you go to dad." Sayako dismisses her father.
"What bu-" Kazz begins but…
"I said go. " Sternly, she snaps at her father fuming.
"BU- Kazz tries to argue however…
"I think I can speak for myself." Mad, Sayako snaps sharply at her.
"…Alright just…be careful." Kazz sighs slumping his shoulders watching on as Shinso softly guides Hikaru out to play in the sand.
"I know…" Sayako sighs her back turned to him as he follows after the two leaving the three alone.
"Your father cares a great deal for you." Yagi takes note of a small shy smile upon his lips trying to ease the furrowed frown upon the scowling Sayako.
"He's always been a worrywart of sorts." Sighing, Sayako grumbles glaring towards the two, Kazz knelt down making a sandcastle smiling alongside Hikaru while Shinso is in the middle allowing the sandcastle to be built on top of him.
"Sayako…" Aizawa furrows his brow concern clear on his facial features towards the blonde but…
"Did you send Shinso to me?" Mad, Sayako snaps sharply cutting him off.
"What?" Yagi blinks baffled.
"…." Aizawa simply scowls glaring at her.
"Aizawa did you tell him where I was?" Impatiently, Sayako demands from Aizawa.
"….What he did he chose to do." Dutifully, Aizawa states the fact firmly.
"To relief his guilt right?" Sayako sneers poison dripping down her tense tone.
"Relief his guilt?" Yagi quirks his head to the side lost eyeing the two having no clue what to make of the situation he found himself stuck in.
"You know me and him go way back and you knew with me gone there was a spare chair for your star pupil to finally be in your class. But you knew he'd hesitate he'd feel bad if it were me you knew he couldn't fully go through with it so you sent him here to relieve his guilt so he doesn't feel bad about taking my place." Pointedly, Sayako snaps snarling seething glaring, glowering at Aizawa.
"If I were to do that why would I be here to ask for you to return to U.A?" Aizawa sighs at her.
"…" Scowling, Sayako grimaces from his words.
"Look what Shinso has done has nothing to do with me. He came here of his own volition just as we have." Honestly, Aizawa raises his hands up in the air annoyed.
"And you think I can just suddenly catch up like that? I can barely stand someday." Seething, Sayako points out.
"But you have gotten better right?" Yagi argues.
"I…I suppose but…" Sayako begins unsure.
"But what?" Aizawa demands.
"I just….if I agree to this what of Shinso's position?" Pained, Sayako crosses her arms over her chest.
"Shinso's position?" Perplexed, Yagi furrows his brow befuddled.
"If I go back…what happens to Shinso? His chance to be in the hero course?" Seriously, she questions him hurt.
"He'll be given his chance it's whether he truly wants to be in it that he can join." Aizawa sighs.
"…He'll still have his shot?" Sayako asks hopeful.
"Yes." Aizawa confirms watching her stare sadly at the three outside conflicted even.
"…Fine." Frowning, Sayako sighs slumping her shoulders.
"Pardon?" Yagi jolts up from Sayako's words.
"Fine. I'll come back but I have one condition." Briskly, Sayako snaps scowling.
"And what's that?" Aizawa arches a brow befuddled by Sayako's scowl, her furrowed frown softening slightly. She shakily sighs closing her eyes knowing what must be done before she can even think of moving ahead…
Quietly, Sayako stands in the alleyway of the bright bleached white-walled hallway, her brow furrowing as she stares solemnly down at the bouquet below her. She could feel her fingertips fidget around the neck of the bouquet, feeling her nails scrape against the plastic covering wrapping around the flora consisting of daffodils, white roses, lavender, and tulips. Sayako closes her eyes trying to pump herself up as she ignores the sickening stench of bleach wafting in the air heavily hanging over her similar to the tight tension in the air as she could feel panic pump through her veins.
She couldn't believe she was doing this…she knew she had to do. She knew it, if she were to step forward she had to confront the man behind this door. She knew that deep down. So here she stood, knowing what had to be done to take that next step.
Shakily, she closes her eyes as she takes in a small shy breath before gathering her nerves as she slowly opens the door, entering the room feeling her heavy heart hammer against her constrict chest. She ignores the slight pang in her chest gnawing away at her as she makes her way inside, slowly striding over towards the bed below her.
"Hi…dad." Softly, she whispers taking a seat by her bedside, gently placing the bouquet down, hearing the heavy hammering sound of the machine pulsating pointedly making her grimace, pained by the sharp stab of tubes impaled into his frail form. Her glassy gaze down upon the boy below, sighing shakily composing herself as she prepares for the talk ahead or at the least prepare the apology that was long overdue.
*So what do you think of Sayako now? Of her visiting Best Jeanist? Of her and Shinso?*
