Hey, guys! BD and Sora here with the latest installment of 'Emerald Rabbit's Warren.' In this chapter, Izuku and Shouto have a chat regarding the events that unfolded over the weekend. Meanwhile, Tsuyu gets a visit from an unexpected classmate. Later, Izuku goes to check on Ochako and discovers the aftermath of her unusual punishment. Next, the girls and boys of 1-A discuss their techniques on obtaining the ctOS back from Kayama-sensei. Then, Izuku consults Recovery Girl for advice. Mishaps, misadventures, and hijinks continue. Enjoy!

Leap of Fate (Part I). (Tsuyu x Izuku/ Froggy Emerald)

Izuku laid on his bed after just finishing his dinner. He felt like he was really lucky today as he was spared from his punishment until tomorrow.

"First the girls fell in love and lust for me, then they, for some reason, destroyed Mina's, Tooru's and even Mineta-kun's room. Granted he might have had it coming, but still a little far even for him. And doesn't explain why the girls would have wrecked two of their rooms, the only explanation I have is that they must have gotten violent amongst each other and broke out in a fight, given their... 'impulses' from last night. But not only they, also the other guys got in trouble…" The boy reflected on the recent events. A concerned expression dawned on his face.

"Things nearly went out of control faster than I feared. My pheromones must have affected the girls from my class the most due to continued exposure, making the effects more potent on them on top of the pheromones being already potent, that's why things escalated this quickly with them." The emerald Rabbit Faunus analyzed as he sat on his bed.

"Fortunately I 'mated' with Ochako, which must have released all the sexual frustrations. The effects should have decreased and soon enough things should be normal again. Hopefully something like this doesn't repeat now that I can have my sexual needs under control, but maybe just in case I should talk soon with Recovery Girl and see if she might have something to help me out." The boy remembered the tiny nurse mentioning about developing a medicine to help suppress his pheromones. Something like that could come really handy for the future, so he thought it would be wise to check on that. However, it was going to take some time as the clinical trials were still in progress and the process of doing so wasn't exactly legal, let alone ethical.

"Hmmm… I know I shouldn't feel guilty, I never asked for this, I never knew this would happen and I couldn't control it, but… *Sigh*" Even if he knew all of this, he can't help but feel guilty about all of the madness caused because all of the girls were chasing the same boy to a yandere-ish degree, which caused them troubles for themselves and the whole class. Even worse, that might permanently damage the friendship Ochako has with them.

"I have to find a way to fix this so they can be friends again, when they are enough calmed down of course, I wouldn't like to alleged self-defence for a rape attempt. I know Ochako said not to do anything unless she says so, but I can't sit around and do nothing about it. At the very least I should talk to them, preferably outdoors and where there would be plenty of people walking by, just in case." It really felt very wrong and off-putting having to be this weary with his female classmates, his friends. But given the current state of affairs one couldn't be too safe. "I don't like the idea of hiding things from Ochako, but it's for the greater good, if it's for her sake as well as theirs. She'll understand, she would do the same for me. Hopefully the girls might be willing to hear me out." And so he made up his mind. He would go talk to the girls and try to ease the tensions between them and Ochako, hopefully helping them patch things up with them.

Deku heard his ringtone, he stood up and grabbed his phone from his desk. "Todoroki-kun?" On the screen he saw that the Icy hot teen was calling him, so he picked up the call.

"Todoroki-kun! If you're calling because you want to beat the yellow out of my ass, wait in line because you and many others are wanting payback." Izuku crossed his legs in bed, preparing for whatever may come tomorrow.

Text messages bombarded his phone as many immediately delved about last night's events. What began as curiosity turned into demanding a full explanation. Hanta wanted to know if Deku went second base with Ochako. Tenya wanted details of the date, including the prices of the meals, the movies, and the hotel as he wanted to explain the responsibilities of dating on a high school budget. Don't even ask Mineta as he wanted to know if Ochako's scent matched with Mina's. "Like hell do I know. Why does it matter? And actually… How does Mineta-kun know Mina's scent…? On second thought, I don't want to know."

Yuga became highly aggravated as the chocolate tea he wanted wasn't his usual 40% cacao. For the record, Izuku wasn't aware of the degree of taste. The French prince should be appreciative to receive his tea after Mashirao told him about Yuga narcing on his classmates, which frankly isn't that out of character for the French blond. It's actually on Izuku for being naive and expecting him to not out him.

As of tonight, Kacchan was on his block list. Kacchan left a message. He didn't say a word. He allowed the theme music to Halloween to describe his bloodlust. A wheezing, raspy sound was heard from the background. Word through grapevine (obviously Mashirao) was that Katsuki faced severe punishment after avoiding their punishment from earlier. Another word from the grapevine….Mashirao told Izuku that there is a video circulating showing Katsuki's punishment from Aizawa-sensei. Izuku decided that it was best not to look at the video, allowing his classmates to provide him with vivid details. It was going to be an interesting breakfast tomorrow morning. Hopefully the common room won't turn into a warzone tomorrow.

Oh and did he forget to mention that the guys made bets about how his date with Ochako would go? Because they did, even Iida! Surprisingly enough, it was Tenya who became irate after losing the funds for the bet and receiving a phone call from his parents about involving himself in illegal gambling. His allowance was withheld for a month until he can prove he could be truthful with money. Izuku could feel the sores from Mashirao's butt as the dirt continued to sink deeper. Tenya wanted retribution and would find a way to receive it, even if it meant "beating the yellow out of [his] ass" at their next practice, even if it wasn't battle training…

"Midoriya, even if I want to mop the floor with you, I can barely lift a finger," he said to his friend with stifled laughter. "Move over, Pops! Aizawa-sensei can be in the same ranking for child-rearing." Izuku can hear him clearing his throat.

"Hehe! Sorry about that. I didn't think my date became such a big deal," he replied back to him. He knows the feeling of having your body crying in agony all too well.

"You don't even know the half. It was so crazy that I still can't fully believe it happened." Shouto could have explained it, but decided against it. The silver lining when he finally kissed his crush, Momo. So, despite the hell he had encountered, that kiss was worth the price of admission. "So, I am gonna spare the gory details of that." He chuckled. "So, how was it?"

Izuku sat up against the bed. "The date went well. We went to the arcade, ate pizza, and played games. We took a walk on the beach…."

"Okay, that's kindergarten, Midoriya. What I'm talking about was it!"

"Wasn't it you that taught me that a gentleman isn't supposed to kiss and tell?"

"You don't have a driver's license and you still live off your parents," retorted Shouto. "We put our asses on the line for the sake of you." He cleared his throat, apparently that punishment left him with a sore throat or something. "I think I deserve some deets here from my best friend, Izuku!"

"W-wait! Are we best friends now?!" Izuku's eyes widened in surprise.

"Of course! After everything we've been through, why wouldn't we?" Shouto asked matter-of-factly.

"Well, when you put it like that…" Izuku scratched the back of his head. He always considered that either he and Iida could be his best friends, but never said anything.

"So will you tell me or not, Izuku?"

Izuku being called by his first name meant that Shouto meant business. The emerald Faunus clicked his tongue as he processed the information he wanted to tell Shouto. In case of prying ears, he grabbed the remote from his nightstand and turned it on to Three Days Grace. The volume was loud enough to muffle his conversation with Shouto.

"I've scored," he said matter-of-factly.

"You did it? You did it?" asked Shouto with a bit of excitement in his voice.

"Dipped my paintbrush. The submarine had docked. My nut has been busted," said Izuku. "Yes! Ochako and I had sex!"

There was a brief pause on the phone. He could hear Shouto's voice crackling in the background. He could guess that he was adamantly surprised - rather in the vulgar terms or the fact that Izuku lost his virginity. A bit of a strange sound hearing the usual Icy hot teen laughing like that.

"What can I say? Congratulations! Welcome to manhood!" Shouto said as he tried hard not to laugh. "Those cajones finally descended and you did the H with Uraraka!"

"If you want me to brag, think again," retorted Izuku. "I won't indulge further...out of respect for my girl."

"OOOOHHHH~ Your girl now," said Shouto teasingly. "Uraraka is your girl now?! I take it that you guys are something now, right?"

"You can say so, but I won't boast or brag like Kacchan," responded Izuku. He wasn't around when he heard Kacchan confessing to his classmates about Camie. But knowing his childhood friend, his bravado would exceed anything to prove his point.

"I believe you. You're not that kind," said Shouto. "But you have to admit, I am surprised that you did score. And, I am highly impressed." He began to sigh. "However, I can't say the same on the girls' end, especially when it comes to a missing credit card."

"Oh, no!" Izuku began to worry. "Does she know?!"

"Relax! Your secret is safe with me," replied Shouto. "Don't worry about the credit card. It was reported stolen, but nothing that would come back to you."

"How did she know?"

"Before going back to my dorm, I went by and saw her," said Shouto.

"How is she…?" He stopped. The emerald Faunus was aware of the girls receiving a harsher punishment than the boys. Unlike their punishment, it was so indescribable that the boys did not even want to dig further. Once again, Mashirao should consider changing classes for the time being until this snitching tangent dies down.

"She has had better days," replied Shouto, although that was saying it lightly. "I will say this, she doesn't want to physically maim Uraraka anymore."

"Wait, what?!" Izuku asked, confused and shocked. "Does he know?!"

"Don't panic, but Momo started babbling and cursing Uraraka's name a lot, so much so that maybe she might have awoken her ancestors. She didn't say why she was so upset, but I guess it might be because the other girls are very angry at her." Shouto explained calmly.

Izuku sighed mentally in relief. "Is that a fact?" He asked.

"Yeah. Turns out that the others had feelings for you and became really jealous of Uraraka."

Izuku became slightly tense. It didn't make sense. He could still recall the words that Momo said to him at the beach. Was that the truth? Or an act as she caved into peer pressure? She sounded genuine… Maybe she left herself out on purpose? DId she hide that part from him?

"I… see." He replied trying to not sound unsurprised.

"It must be quite the shocker for you, but explains why they were being so much lately."

"Yeah… I… I guess it does."

"Don't worry, I won't tell any of this to the other guys. Especially to Kirishima, Tokoyami, Ojiro and Kaminari." Shouto replied assuredly. "Especially Ojiro."

"Thanks…" Deku thanked him. Last thing he wants is to be hated by the guys.

"But none of this makes sense. Don't get me wrong, you're one of the best people I know, but why would most of our female classmates be into you seemingly all of the sudden? They never showed signs of that before." Shouto said, sounding perplexed.

"...Me neither." Izuku lied.

"In any case, back to Momo and Uraraka, I highly suggest keeping them apart for a while," said Shouto. "She may not want to harm her, but don't forget that she is rich. Dirty gloves can make clean hands."

"I will keep that in mind," said Izuku. "And the others?"

"Just say that Uraraka should get comfortable sitting alone at lunch for a while," he told Izuku. "It won't last forever, but let the madness die down and I think things will be better."

"You think so, Todoroki?" He asked. This time being genuine as this new information was lowering his spirits a bit.

"Old friendships can't be replaced, man," said Shouto. "Since the first semester, they have been inseparable, thick as thieves. From the Sports Festival to the Cultural Festival."

If only Shouto would have seen what occurred earlier at the beach, then a change of heart would have occurred. Nevertheless, Shouto had a kindred spirit and now gives people the benefit of the doubt. He guessed that he was still upset about the actions that occurred the night before. No one was going to physically and verbally attack his girl.

"Hopefully things can go back to normal soon." Izuku said with a wishful tone.

"Me too." Shouto agreed. "And I hope I didn't make things awkward between you and the girls, but I thought you needed to know."

"It's okay, thank you." Izuku replied understandingly. "And they were pretty awkward already anyway…"

"Just take care of yourself and Uraraka, okay? I said Momo might not want to be physical anymore, but I don't know if I can say the same about the others. Apparently they destroyed the rooms by accident, because of an argument that went out of control." Shouto explained with a composed, but caring tone.

The information surprised him, but he honestly half-expected this to be the case. "I see… We'll be careful." He replied soundly, slightly dejected.

"Mind you, you didn't hear anything from me."

"Don't worry, I won't say anything." Izuku replied. "Man… Things have gotten crazier than they already were." Izuku ran a hand through his hair.

"You can say that again, Izuku." Shouto agreed with his best friend. "First you change species, then most of the girls develop an attraction for you and then last night happened and now we're all in trouble. Not the best time for our class, that's for sure." He recounted the events that led them to this exact moment and predicament.

"I'm sorry…" The emerald teen apologized.

"For what? None of this is your fault. The girls acted up crazy and we guys might have earned this for trying to spy on you. We all were very stupid." The Icy hot teen assured him.

"Right…" If only Todoroki knew…

"Let's talk about something else."

"Yeah, let's." Both boys didn't need to continue on this topic.

"I'll tell you something that happened to me last night. You might have noticed that I'm sounding a little different right now." Shouto said.

"Now that you mentioned, yes. You do sound a little more cheerful even with the punishment you went through." Izuku pointed out. He didn't want to call Todoroki moody, the right word would be inward.

"Well, the reason for my good humor is that Momo and I pretty much confessed to each other. To be exact we made out." The red-white haired teen said with a more happier tone.

"Wow!" Izuku needed a moment to catch his breath. Was that the same Momo that wanted to easily knock him out and then force herself on him? The same raven-haired teen who wanted to take all of his first in front of Ochako? Momo Yaoyorozu, the girl who called Ochako a traitor and a whore? Now he is really confused, it's obvious she is into him, but now he learns that she and Todoroki made out? So is she both into him and Todoroki? Can a girl even be into two guys? "Ummm...that's….great! That's good to hear, Todoroki! You have always been pining for her." For now he decided to play it cool.

"Seems like the other way. She pulled me aside and made some sweet moves on me," said Shouto happily. "Feels out of character as if she was playing a dominant role, which is a bit off." He clicked his tongue. "Whatever! I think maybe me and her may have a connection. I never told you but, I always felt there was something going on between us since the exams last semester."

"Yeah, I thought so too." The emerald haired Faunus always noticed the closeness that Momo and Shouto had for quite a while now, of course that changed significantly since the transformation.

"Heh. Not wanting to brag or anything, but I was this close to going all the way with her… Until Iida had to walk in." His tone became slightly sour. "But in all fairness we shouldn't have tried to do anything in an alley, so I guess it's on us."

Now that was quite the surprise, the Faunus was speechless before he smiled. Izuku wouldn't mind encouraging Shouto to continue pursuing. In fact that would actually be perfect If it meant keeping Momo under the radar and away from Ochako, then by any means necessary. "So, have you guys thought of anything date wise...without telling anyone else or plans for espionage?"

"Nah! May keep it simple, you know, like you did." he told his best friend. "A movie and a dinner perhaps. Don't know, the candlelight dinner, horseback riding, and drinking champagne in the hot tub sounds awesome."

"Uh-huh. Sounds good." If that's how a 'simple' date sounded like, then how would an 'elaborated' one be. Taking Momo to Europe? The Carribean? Maybe even Remnant?

"Yup. Too bad I won't be able to ask her out for a few days at least." Shouto commented. "The rest of the guys are suspecting about the other girls having feelings for you, including Momo, but there's no way she's into you. Sure, she's been hanging around you often like them, but she made it clear she likes me, although not spoken but still with her lips. Not wanna throw dirt at the guys, but I bet they were just jealous." He added.

Izuku sweated a bit, he understands now how much Shouto is into Momo and he is aware that Denki, Mashirao and Eijiro are into Kyouka, Tooru and Mina respectively, he even noticed Fumikage showing signs of him liking Tsuyu. It makes him feel like a terrible friend to them to know that the girls are into him instead because of his damn pheromones, but in the case of Momo it makes him feel hopeful that maybe he can change her mind if she is also into Shouto. If she can get over Izuku and go to Shouto that would be perfect, for their sake and avoid the Faunus getting roasted… or frozen to death... or both! Deku can say with all certainty that he doesn't want Shouto to ever know about that side of his crush.

"I'll take your word for it, Todoroki-kun."

"Heh. I told you that we're best friends, Izuku. It's okay if you want to call me Shouto from now on." Somehow the emerald teen could tell his friend was smiling.

"Okay, Shouto." Izuku smiled.

"Well… I gotta go, I'm feeling really beat up." Shouto said as he yawned.

"I can imagine." It must have been the longest day and night Shouto and the rest of the boys must have gone through. "Might as well do the same."

"Remember what I told you, okay?" The white-red haired teen reminded him with a more serious tone.

"I will. Thanks, Shouto. Good night." Izuku said with a smile.

"Same, Izuku. Rest in peace," said Shouto.

Izuku raised his eyebrow. "Hold up, Shouto! Rest in peace?! Is that what you said?"

"Yeah! Rest in peace! What's the matter?"

"Dude! You only say that when you are talking about the dead!"

"I did die after the pain Aizawa-sensei gave us," retorted Shouto. "Because of that, I can say and do whatever I please. It means exactly what I meant! So, Izuku! Rest in peace!"

Izuku stepped out of bed and stood up. "No, no! That's inappropriate. No!"

"Are you preparing to rest?"

"Yes!"

"Do you want it to be peaceful?"

"Yeah!"

"Then, rest in peace!"

"NO," barked the Emerald Faunus. "Did that kiss or Aizawa-sensei's punishment mushed your brain? You know you aren't supposed to say that to someone who is still living."

"Well, excuse me! You said that you were going to get some rest. I hope it will be a peaceful one, so rest in peace!"

"Holy Dio in heaven! You're only supposed to be wishing the dead a peaceful journey to the great beyond," said Izuku frantically. "Not to a guy that isn't dead."

"Are you preparing to rest?"

"Yes!"

"Do you want it to be a peaceful rest?"

"Yeah!"

"Then, rest in peace!"

"Forget that, Shouto! I want to rest in commotion!" Izuku began pacing. "I'm gonna leave the door open so you guys can take whatever you want as retribution for this bet. I'm gonna turn the volume up loudly on my television and stereo so that it can wake up the others. I may even call the girls and let them have their way with me! You can't force the willing!" He stomped his foot loudly.

"Okay, why are you getting so worked up about wishing you to rest peacefully?" Shouto bluntly. "It ain't that deep!"

"Because you're speaking to a live person who isn't dead, dude," said Izuku. Last thing he wanted to hear was something about him getting the sweet eternal rest. Not with all possible mine traps laid ahead on him!

"So, you are not going to get any rest?" asked Shouto.

"After what you said, heck no!"

"Then peace, dude!" Shouto ended the call.

Deku growled before he snorted loudly through the nose. "Great! With that spook I won't be able to sleep!" With how much he was stressing at the moment, hearing that just made it worse. He took a moment to take a deep breath in and sit down.

"Okay, leaving that aside, I should take Shouto's advice and wait for things to cool down before I go to talk to the girls. I should tell this to Ochako as well, so she can avoid as much contact with them as possible for a few days at least. I hadn't talked to her in a while anyway and I guess she would like me to give her her goodnites." Izuku then called his girlfriend.

He waited for her to pick up but she didn't and the call went to the voicemail. "That's weird, knowing her, she should have picked up." The boy thought as he removed his phone from his ear.

Something wasn't right…

"Maybe it's nothing and she went to sleep, but…" He glanced at his door before standing up. "Hopefully I'm just being paranoid…"


Tsuyu was channel surfing and her tongue was the guiding light with the remote. In actuality, her tongue was probably the least sore muscle on her body as her entire body took a beating, and she wasn't quite sure if it was a literal or metaphorical feeling as it was hard to tell.

A block of ice was her couch as she needed it to soothe her aching body, although the numbness in her body was to the point of barely feeling the ice under her. She absolutely had no plans tonight and even if she did, she was on house arrest for a week. After the unspeakable things Kayama-sensei and Takeyama-senpai did to her and the girls, it was decided that she and the girls were grounded for the week. Everything was on restriction until the week was finished.

Of course, she felt that it wasn't fair as the fairer sex, as usual, got quite a leniency. The boys didn't receive anywhere near the type of punishment they received. Nevertheless, arguing on who had it worse or not wasn't going to solve their current problem. Their mission to obtain their rabbit-kun failed, horribly, in the worst possible way! Ochako achieved by taking what was rightfully theirs. However, in hindsight, she couldn't help but to give the brunette praise. It was true that she and the others unanimously decided to give her the silent treatment, she knew it had taken a lot of courage and guts for Ochako to perform the maneuvers on taking Izuku. If she was in that position, she would have done the same. And for that, she deserved respect and accolades (just getting the frog girl to admit that would require some time).

Also now that she is calmed enough, she can also admit that last night she and the girls really lost it a pair of times. First when they fought causing three rooms to be very damaged, which is what led them to this juncture (although it was a bit of a silver lining to know that Mineta's room was also wrecked). And they were technically the ones that provoked a battle royal amongst the boys that also left a very damaged store in its wake. And lastly what happened at the beach…

Was she and the others really willing to fight Izuku? Even worse, force themselves on him? ...As outrageous and terrifying, even if they were just mere thoughts… They actually might have gone through with it. They all must have been that crazy the moment, but in all fairness she and the others just snapped, the sheer jealousy towards Ochako and the deep love and desire for Izuku drove them all over the edge at that moment, enough to let go of all inhibitions. At least Tsuyu can admit that much now.

The feeling was hard to explain, she wouldn't say everything at that moment was like a haze or that she wasn't in control, she remembers clearly what happened and was still conscious of her actions, it's just that she and the others didn't want to stop, even if they knew they were being extreme. However, right now she feels deeply ashamed of what happened, even about what she and the others wanted to do to Ochako. It was one thing to leave her tied, another was to brutally beat her up and then make her watch as they had their way with the Rabbit Faunus.

However the worst part was the possibility that Izuku might now be afraid of all of them, even worse he might hate them now! Why wouldn't he? He was pissed at them for how they insulted Ochako, who he now calls his girlfriend, and he was willing to fight against them, obviously he was way stronger and faster than all of them and would have knocked them out without too much difficulties, but he doesn't like fighting people he considers his friends.

The idea of Izuku not wanting anything to do with Tsuyu… It makes her deeply sad, like a punch straight to her soul.

Although, now that she thought about it… There's something that's been bothering her, aside from everything else right now.

"Please, listen to me! You're not yourselves, it's because of me that you all got like this! You gotta snap out of it! The girls I know would never dare to turn on each other!"

Why would Izuku put the blame on himself for them going pretty yandere last night? Sure, they've been pretty out of character as of late because of their ever growing affections and womanly needs for him, but it's not like it's his fault. That's just how they reacted because of said feelings, and the part of going yandere? It was because of feelings of jealousy and competitiveness. So it's not really Izuku that drove them mad, it was the thought of others going after him that triggered that.

It was silly and wrong to blame sweet, precious Izuku. But as typical of the carrot-laced cinnamon roll, he would blame himself, because he is Izuku and he is selfless. If he perceives that he has something to do with the girls turning on each other, he would feel the sole responsibility. One of the many things the frog girl likes about him.

Tsuyu was beginning to get a cramp from her tongue so she let American syndicated cartoons be the show of choice. Invader Zim was playing on the television as she was thinking on what ways to properly apologize to Izuku. Maybe purchasing a bag of carrots or taking him to a katsudon stand could be a form of a peace offering. However, pride was taking precedence as she would also have to acknowledge his relationship with Ochako. They were best friends, closer than kin. However, there is a weird dance between the two. In her heart, she knew the feud wouldn't last as friendships like that weren't easily replacable. Be that as it may, her pride, let alone her ego was hurt. She could admit she was in the wrong, but once again, she wasn't ready to admit that. The silent treatment was more suitable until they could figure out a consensus with the Izuku situation. It was harsh, blunt, and cold, but in comparison what they previously did to the brunette, it would have to do until there was a change within their current situation. They all had a thing for Izuku and they weren't going to let him go anytime soon, regardless of who he is with.

Another thing was what to do with the rest of the guys. Frankly they were the least of her concerns, same is true for the rest of the girls, but doesn't make her feel any less bad because of what happened in the store. It wouldn't be a shocker if the guys might not want to talk to them for a while, they must know by now that the girls pretty much cause them to get into this mess, for now it was better to leave it be as they might get over it in a few days.

Contemplating on calling Tooru if she had any sweets she could eat, there was a knock at the door. It wasn't unusual as she would have friends that would come at this hour to have a chat or come for advice. However, her weak constitution inhibited her to move.

"The door is open," she said aloud to the visitor. While watching the scene on Invader Zim as Dib slammed the bologna to Zim's face, the door opened. Surprisingly, it was a visitor she doesn't see frequently, let alone a student on this floor.

"Asui-chan! How goes it?!" The bouncy cyan-haired teen knew how to make her presence known in the school. She was UA's eye candy, the apple of the teacher's eyes. Boys loved her, girls adored her, many wanted to be like her and become her friend. Nevertheless, if Nejire Hadou viewed a person as a friend, then that person was her friend for life. However, the frog girl was surprised to see the moe at her dorm, as it wasn't often seniors see their freshmen classmates.

"Senpai?" The blushing frog girl didn't know how to respond to the guest. For starters, she wasn't dressed up for the occasion, sporting a plain white t-shirt and a pair of green boyshorts, which she totally didn't take from Izuku's wardrobe!

"Greetings, Asui-chan!" The bouncy teen closed the door and pressed her butt against it. Her wandering eyes observed the dorm room which left her in awe and wonder. "Nice place, you got here!" She pointed at the block of ice. "Love your decor! So eccentric! Why did you get it? To make a statement?! Aren't you trying to be cool? Please tell me, I must know!"

"Lovable oaf!" One would think that Deku and Nejire were identical. Deku could ramble on about a topic that sought his interest whereas Handou-senpai would ramble on in questioning, although even Deku might struggle to keep on with Nejire's seemingly endless questioning. In their own way, it was quite adorable. Tsuyu could understand why Nejire's best friend, Haya-senpai, was her keeper. Although adorable, charming, and cute, somebody had to look after her whenever Togata-senpai and Amajaki-senpai weren't around. Lord knows what will happen if Hadou-senpai is left totally to her own devices.

Tsuyu thought it was best NOT to explain the reasoning behind the block of ice. Tsuyu had to keep a strong composure without arousing suspicion from the inquisitive teen.

"Oooohhh~!" Nejire's eyes lit brighter than a Christmas tree when seeing that the frog girl was watching Invader Zim. "It's the bologna episode! Zim is going to turn Dib into bologna." The whimsical teen hopped on Tsuyu's bed and snatched the remote from her tongue. Punching the buttons, she turned up the volume. Her eyes looked onto Tsuyu. "Do you have snacks? I love snacks!"

Tsuyu blinked twice in confusion, she had questions. Firstly, why was she on her bed? Secondly, why was she getting comfortable as she took off her skirt (fortunately, the Big 3 member was wearing spats underneath). Thirdly and most importantly, why would the reputable senior come to see her? On the flip side, it's good that Nejire's adorable childishness made her forget about the block of ice Tsuyu was sitting on.

"Umm...Hadou-senpai. Not that I mind you coming to visit me and what not, but you do know that I am under house arrest, ribbit." Tsuyu said to Nejire when she turned her head.

"Oh! That's okay! I spoke with Aizawa-sensei and said that it was an important matter about training and stuff," said the teen happily after closing the mini-fridge. Grabbing a can of soda and a bag of potato chips, she returned back to Tsu's bed. She clicked her tongue while playfully kicking her feet. "Hey, did you know that you can hold your breath until you pass out and then your body naturally breathes again?"

Tsuyu scratched her chin. "Could explain the loss of brain cells, ribbit!" "An...interesting fact!" She gave a thumb's up. "Good to know?!" She sweat-dropped with a slight awkward smile.

"Hmm-hmm!" Nejire grabbed a fistfull of chips as she compacted her mouth like a squirrel full of nuts. "Also, did you know that you can fill five Olympic-sized pools of your saliva in your lifetime?"

Another sweat drop appeared. Tsuyu nervously chuckled. "So...training you're telling me about. Is it important to share with the others or is this a one-on-one?"

The moe turned on her back with an eye-widened expression. "Training?!" She snapped her finger. "Oh! That was a lie to convince Aizawa-sensei to let me come and see you." She feverishly covered her mouth. "Oopsie! I did a fib!" She smiled. "Was I naughty?" She tilted her head cutely

"Damn, why are you this adorable, ribbit!" It was people like Hadou that made Tsuyu think if she were into girls, then Hadou would make the perfect candidate, as tiresome she can be at times with her airheadedness. "So, if it isn't for training, then what?"

Hadou licked the crumbs and grease off her fingers before wiping it on her blouse. "For what you say...well...well." She was melodic in tone. She got like that whenever something excited her. "I came to you because I felt you can be the one to be a great keeper of information. I mean you're a frog and frogs are like princes and princesses, so loyalty and royalty." She snapped her fingers. "Hey, that rhymes - loyalty and royalty! But anyway, I felt I needed to talk to somebody about some important information. A 'Only for your eyes' kind of thing."

"Sure!" Tsuyu would have corrected her about frogs, but it's hard to argue with cuteness.

"Neat!" She turned back to her stomach. "So...I have seen the most wonderful thing in the world. So beautiful, enchanting, and charming. It's better than doggies and kitties and horses and monkeys. Although I love doggies and kitties and horsies and monkeys! Even the bracelets Yuyu and I made together!"

Tsuyu positioned herself so she could get a view of Nejire. At each angle, she felt the piercing pain on her body but continued to fight through the pain. "Oh, dear! Please don't alert the zoo keepers, they would have a fit, ribbit."

"No way! That is why I'm coming to you. You're a froggie and I love pets and cute animals and want to smother them with lots and lots and lots of love," said Nejire melodically and happily.

The cuteness was overloading Tsu's brain as a spot of blood appeared from her nose. She should be a bit offended but who could get mad at this adorable teen? It's like trying to be mad at Eri-chan, it's practically impossible!

Nejire held Tsu's body pillow of Rin Matsuoka from Free as she planted her nose onto it. "Today, I saw something so amazing, so adorable, so precious that it should be a crime for how cute I saw this adorable creature. Actually though, I saw this unique, precious and totally adorable creature from afar for a while now these last few weeks. So large, so effervescent, so enchanting!"

"You've been browsing around?" asked Tsuyu inquisitively. "I don't think large pets are allowed on campus, so I can say she was probably looking to have one when she goes to a hero agency once she finishes high school. Though Koji-chan does have a rabbit, ribbit!" thought the frog girl.

"Indeed, I have! My heart has been ensnared, caught in the rapture of what is so adorably precious that I want to drown them in my bosom forever and ever~!" Nejire hugged the body pillow tightly as she was becoming skittish and playful like a pussycat.

"That's awesome, Senpai!" As much as she enjoyed having company, especially with the last 24 hours she had, she would like nothing more than for Nejire to spill the beans already before getting herself scarce. Plus, it was close to the time to go to the bathroom to apply another ounce of medicated ointment. "So where am I placed in the grand scheme of things?" She asked politely.

"Weeell… since you're good friends with him, I thought it would be a good idea to ask you of all people." the blue-haired girl said with a adorably bashful blush on her face.

"'Him'?" Tsuyu was confused. Wasn't Hadou-senpai talking about a pet? Is she talking about a boy? But who-? "Oh no… oh no no no no no! Oh hell no…!" That's when it hit her like a bullet train.

"You see, I know it might sound a little weird since I'm a little older, but lately I couldn't stop looking at Midoriya-kun as the most absolutely most precious and cutest thing in this whole universe! He's just so adorable with his cute bunny rabbit ears and tail! I mean, he was always a cute boy, but now that he is a Rabbit Faunus, he became the cutest ever!" Nejire started gushing cutely as she hugged the pillow as if it was said emerald haired teen she was holding.

Tsuyu remained speechless as she glanced at the older girl in shock, inside she was screaming.

"Are his rabbit ears as soft as they look? How much does he like to eat carrots? How does his fluffy cotton tail feel? And most importantly, is it true that he and Uraraka-chan went out on a date yesterday? I would have gone and asked her, but she didn't pick up. She's probably asleep and she might have denied it anyway, so please, please tell me! I need to know!" As she went on her usual questioning spree, she got herself very up close to the stunned frog girl.

"W-w-wait a minute, ribbit!" Tsuyu spewed as she got a bit away from Nejire. "Are you saying that you like Izuku?" She asked, trying to regain her composure as best as she could.

"Hmmmm." The shockwave teen put her finger on her cheek, looking at the ceiling. "Well, I dunno If I have a crush on him, but I can say he did catch my eye. Besides, I just wanna hold him tight and give him lots and lots of pets!" She replied with a beaming smile. "By the way, you're calling him by his first name." She began to smile. "Are you two also close?"

Nejire put the pillow aside and crawled close to where Tsuyu was residing. "How comfortable are you with that? Does he call you by your first name? Does he blush? Do you blush?" She kicked the bed. "I want someone other than Yuyu-chan to call me by my first name." She blinked playfully. "How about it? Can I call you Tsuyu-chan and you can call me Nejire-chan? Maybe just Tsuyu and Nejire?"

The cuteness overloaded was filling to the brim. It should be a crime on how cute and adorable her senpai can be (even though she wanted to crack her forehead for liking her Izuku). She stopped, admitting that she was still tapering off the fumes of the pheromones and kept telling herself that she wasn't violent or volatile.

"Let's stick with Tsu-chan and Nejire-senpai for now, ribbit," said Tsuyu.

"Goodie," replied the happy-go-lucky cyan-haired teen. "And goodie because I am now friends with the froggie who is friends with the cute and furry bunny rabbit." She held her cheeks like a squirrel filled with nuts.

"What is it that you want me to do, Nejire-senpai, ribbit?" Tsuyu asked the Big 3 member.

Nejire put her hands together like a child in the process of asking for a favor. "Weelll...because you and Midoriya-kun are so close…I was wondering if you don't mind if I could...if I could…." She grabbed her cheeks. "Pull yourself together, Nejire!"

"Please do, or else I will do it for you, ribbit!" Tsuyu returned to her senses. Once again, it wasn't easy recognizing her volatile nature whenever thoughts of another girl were after Izuku. Nevertheless, she was working on herself to stop having those feelings.

"I wanted to see if me...and...him could...could...could…" She did a little dance. "Go out for a walk?!" Her face turned red.

"Nani?" Tsuyu raised her eyebrow to Nejire's request.

"I see the way people look at him. He's such a nice guy. I know there are so many suitors who are looking for him. I bet his locker is stuffed and overloaded with love letters, and that he might be with Uraraka-chan right now." she said to Tsuyu. "I'm fair and understand my place, but nothing brings me great joy if I can go out for a walk with him. The park, the beach, even to the end of campus. Though I need to be careful so I won't get shocked again." She pouted. "Forget my school ID that one time…"

"I don't think the beach is the right place right now." Tsuyu thought to herself, especially after what they did to crash his and Uraraka's date.

"I just want to scruff under his widdle cheeks and touch his cottontail. Just want to feed him carrots and I wonder if he could wiggle his nose like a bunny rabbit?" She looked at Tsuyu. "Could he, Tsu-chan?"

Tsuyu imagined the sound of the heart monitor going to the death tone as the cuteness overload met its capacity as her eyes were going white. "Too...much! This...is...illegal! It...is...a...crime...for...this...girl...to...be...this...innocent!" At this rate Tsuyu might have to be in a sugar coma!

The frog girl hit her chest. "I wouldn't think Izuku would mind if you guys can go on a little…." Nejire rushed herself onto the frog girl, burying her face in between her bosom.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, Tsu-chan!" The cyan-haired teen kissed Tsuyu on her forehead. "I knew you were the right froggie to go to." She looked at the ceiling. "Disney was right. If you believe in magic and with a bit of pixie dust, all dreams can come true." She then pulled Tsuyu away from her. "Sorry about that, Tsu-chan!"

"You're fine, ribbit!" Tsuyu told her as she regained her composure.

"So, can I do it?"

"Of course you can!"

"Wouldn't Uraraka-chan mind? I don't wanna meddle with another girl's man. You both are my favorite kouhais and possible future sidekicks and it would make me sad if I upset any of you." Nejire said with a pure and innocent look on her face.

"Don't worry Nejire-senpai, as Ochako-chan's best friend, I can assure she won't mind at all, ribbit. She's a very understanding girl." Tsuyu was being so enchanted with the older girl's cuteness and pureness that she said that absentmindedly, making her briefly forget the issues with the gravity girl. She also looked over the 'sidekicks' part.

Nejire got on her tippy toes and began to dance like a ballerina. Tsuyu felt that the pain on her body was the least of her concern. She was close to texting a S.O.S. to her friends to get her out of her dorm. "Yay! Going on a walk with my bunny-kun! Going to buy the freshest carrot. I know it isn't Easter but can go and get him chocolate? Does he like chocolate? Oooh~ I know! I wonder if Eri-chan doesn't mind if she and I can go on a walk with Midoriya-kun! It can be a picnic! It can be…" She paused as she turned to Tsuyu. "Tsu-chan?!"

Tsuyu was lying on the ground on her back with her eyes rolled to the back of her head. Also, her legs and hands were twitching. Tsuyu was gone (cuteness overdose)!

Fifteen minutes later….

Nejire placed her hand on the door as she was preparing to take her leave. "Thank you for the advice this evening, Tsu-chan? I hope that I didn't take much of your free time."

Tsuyu's block of ice began to look like a couch as the heat Nejire emitted caused it to melt. "I'm okay, ribbit!" What more can she say? Shortly after going into a cuteness overload sugar coma, Nejire made her hot cocoa with marshmallows and placed a peppermint in her mouth in hope she would receive sweet dreams. Anyways she has free time to spare at the moment.

"You'll call me whenever Izuku gets the message?" The shockwave teen felt comfortable enough to refer to the emerald Faunus by his first name.

"I promise," she replied. "As long as you take care of the end of your bargain."

Nejire nodded gently. "I will. There wouldn't be any obstacles, wouldn't it!?"

"For that?" Tsuyu blew a raspberry. "It's foolproof. Plus, when you take care of that thing you do, then I have Izuku to have that walk and picnic with you and Eri-chan! I'm sure he would love it and Eri-chan too!"

"Goodie," replied the teen. "Give me a bit of time and it will be all set.

"I believe in you, Nejire-senpai."

"I won't fail one of my favorite kouhais/future sidekicks!" Nejire cutely saluted her."Have a good night, Tsu-chan!"

"Good night!"

And with that the older girl left her room. As soon as the door was closed Tsuyu used her tongue to reach for her phone. "Big news girls! But before I let you all know what happened, promise me you won't go into a fit of rage and that you'll hear me out until I'm done." She typed quickly on her phone and sent the text to the girls. The frog girl was expecting a long discussion with the rest of her friends.


Deku was taking quite the risk for just setting foot outside his room, but his heart was telling him to go check on his girlfriend. Maybe he was being paranoid and he's worrying over nothing, but he has to be sure.

He darted quickly though the lonely and quiet hallways as silently as possible, ever vigilant of not getting caught by Aizawa-sensei. In a few minutes he reached Ochako's door, he looked both sides before knocking on her door softly.

"Ochako?" The emerald-haired teen called her in a soft voice.

No response.

Izuku knocked on her door again, a little louder this time. "Ochako? Ochako, are you okay?" He called out to her again in a higher voice again.

Again, no response.

"Maybe she's asleep, but…" Izuku didn't have a good feeling about this. He put his head against the door and focused on his enhanced hearing. He couldn't hear anything but an eerie quietness from the other side, except… an almost unbearable sniffing… "Ochako!" He knew it was her. He knocked again, hard this time to catch her attention. "Ochako! It's me, Izuku! Are you okay?!" He called out to her once more with a deeply worried tone. He put his head against the door again, he didn't hear any sort of movement, but there was still the sniffing, this just made the young Faunus extremely more concerned as he began to fear something terrible happened to her.

Deku grabbed the doorknob and was surprised to find that the door was actually unlocked. "Ochako, I'm coming in!" He said to her as he slowly turned the knob, peering his head into the dark room, only the light from the hallway was piercing in through the small opening.

Izuku's nose twitched as it caught something off. Obviously he could smell Ochako, but it wasn't just her scent in her room, he could also catch other two scents, both belonging to females, but he couldn't put his finger on who. It wasn't from the other girls, by now he is familiarized with their scent. No, these were other people.

He didn't dwelled on this for too long as he noticed in the ground pieces of torn clothing, going off the color and the faint smell coming from them, it was Ochako's dress that was torn to pieces.

"What on…?" Izuku was bewildered, just what happened here? His ears then caught a clear sound of sniffing, snapping him back into focus.

He came into the room allowing more light to enter as well. In the bed he found Ochako, curled in a fetal position, her back to the boy shivering ever so slightly as she was clearly crying. The distraughting part wasn't that she was just in her underwear, but what he saw on her butt.

They were welts, whipping welts! It was a spreading purple with yellow blotches. It was from her butt to her legs and thighs. She was whipped brutally from the looks of things.

The boy covered his mouth in shock, his blood froze. He rushed at Ochako's side.

"Ochako!" He reached her side, but the girl remained unmoved. "Ochako…?" He reached his hand slowly to grab her shoulder, but when he touched her she cringed, her body shaking up more and her voice hitched.

"Don't," she whispered faintly. "Please don't!"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm here now." Izuku replied gently. He could sense her shivering. His body sensed the vibration and it made his entire body twitch. Something was horribly wrong and he needed to find out what was going on. However, he would need Ochako to open up, as her boyfriend he has to help her.

"Ochako," he said, "you know that you can trust me, right?" He tried to soothe her as he refrained from touching her until she was eased enough.

She didn't answer, she didn't turn to look at him. She continued sniffling as she wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Ochako, my love." He was hesitant, needing to figure out the proper way to convey this. "You know I won't do anything to put you in a horrible position."

"I...I...know," she managed to say as she continued sniffling.

Izuku parted his mouth but words couldn't come out. A stream of tears continued to flow down her pretty cheeks. He was confused. He didn't understand. Who did this? Why do they do this? Who would be this heartless to do this to such a kind girl like his Ochako?

Izuku felt distraught and outraged. Furious at whoever was responsible for this and at himself for failing to protect his girlfriend.

He mustered his might to crawl into the bed. Ochako turned around and became hesitant, her eyes were red and puffy, her cheeks were tear stained and her wrists had dark markings. He knew that the last thing Ochako would want was to be touched. He reached for a blanket and gently covered her. After doing that, he leaned back and sat against the wall beside her. Upon doing so, the floodgates were released as Ochako cried to the heavens.

"It's okay! Let it out!" Izuku didn't know what was going on. The juxtaposition of tonight showed how things can be delivered to different people. He cooed and whispered softly to his beloved. "I am not going anywhere. It's okay to cry. It's okay. Just let it out! I'm not leaving you!"

Izuku looked skywardly in the darkness. Just observing the objects and the posters on the wall. His nose continued twitching. His jaw slackened before clenching his teeth and his fists began to ball. She didn't have to say anything. There was no reason for it anymore. He now recognized the very scent that was on the handkerchief he sneezed into a couple weeks prior. It was the same thing with the other scent when it lingered around his nose at the beach.

"Damn it… Not even a full day and I already screwed it… How can mighty heroes like that sink so ridiculously low?"


Monday morning came, it was 6 AM. No one, but Tsuyu, was in the common room, sitting eating breakfast alone in silence.

Not even Izuku was up, which is weird given his habit of getting up for his morning routine. Then again, yesterday was rough on the class, to put it mildly.

Besides, she actually appreciated the peace to enjoy a quiet breakfast until-

*BAM!*

The frog girl didn't even flinch as the table was hashly slammed on. She saw it coming… the angry mob that would come demanding her head on a silver platter.

The teen calmly glanced up to be met with Mina's angry face alongside the rest of the girls, who weren't any less angry than the pink-skinned girl.

"Good morning, girls, ribbit. I'm glad to see you guys are feeling better." Tsuyu greeted them undisturbed.

"Where in the fuck do you get off on making arrangements without consulting us first?" said Mina argumentatively. "Just because we allow you to be our boss doesn't necessarily mean you're the boss!" Mina slammed the table loudly again. "If you're conducting solo missions, then you better have an Army, pal!"

Tsuyu's toast was a bit lukewarm. She should have left it unattended while poaching the eggs. It mattered not as she nevers finishes her toast. She grabbed the seasoning salt to add flavor to her eggs. "Mina, I know you're upset about what was said in the text. However, it's six in the morning and that ringing in my ear isn't helping this headache." She grabbed the blackberry jam. "So, I suggest you use your inside voice or you're going to find yourself outside." She held the jar. "Along with this jar as you and it were cascading through the walls. Do I make myself clear, ribbit?!" She opened the jar and grabbed a knife to spread the sauce on her toast.

It may not have registered through the pink alien, but Tooru, Kyouka, and Momo understood as they immediately took their seats. Mina continued standing unopposed, but only for a short while. "I'm taking a seat. Only because my butt is still sore from yesterday's punishment."

There was a reason why the group agreed on having Tsuyu take the lead, she can be authoritative and stern when it is needed. Even Momo has to agree to that, even if it's a bit of a blow to her ego, at least she's second in command.

"Thank you for meeting up with me this morning, ribbit." Tsuyu said to the others as they grabbed their toasts, eggs, and assorted meats. "This is the beginning of one of many meetings for the time being until we can get everything under control." She said in a controlled and professional manner.

"One of many meetings?" Mina blurted out. "What are we? Kayama-sensei and the other teachers?"

Tsuyu rubbed her temple with her fingers. "Apparently what you're also lacking is listening comprehension. You would think as an alien your aptness to understand should be quicker than others."

"I'm going to pretend that's Swahili for being in your feelings from last night," retorted Mina.

"Mina, please don't start this morning." It was Tooru that spoke as she grabbed a glass of orange juice. "Last night was good enough to hear you bicker and complain. That now makes sense since Momo made me switch places with you."

"Plus the last thing I want to hear is that bitch's name as well as her ball and chain." Kyouka poked at her poached eggs. Her earjacks were still radiating in pain that any vibration of sound was irritable.

"Don't I have the right to bicker? Moes, here, threw us all under the bus last night!" Mina pointed at the raven-haired girl.

"I told you I was sorry! What else could I do? I couldn't tell Shouto my feelings for Izuku, he likes me!" Momo retorted. "And I told you shouldn't worry about him telling everyone else."

"True that, he's not a loose tongue like Ojiro." Kyouka sided with her as she munched on her eggs.

"Even I have to agree to that." Tooru said as she wiggled uncomfortably as the topic of her former crush is still somewhat awkward for her.

"Regardless, that's the problem with nerdy girls like you - indecisive and unpredictable." Mina snapped back. "If you can't quit spending time cuffing these boys about your feelings, we can be in a better position. Better act like Bakugou and understand the game, chicky! Admit it! You wanna be double teamed by Izuku and Todoroki! Granted, sometimes I had fantasies of a threesome with Kirishima, but at least I set my priorities straight!"

"N-no way!" Momo's face turned deep red at this.

"Pots and kettles, calm down," interjected Tsuyu. "We're not here to discuss your fantasies of being double-teamed." Tsuyu knew that Mina and Momo had a freaky side when it came to their sexuality. Nevertheless, that was the least of her concern. "What we are here is to discuss our current situation - the Nejire situation!"

"Oh, that's right! You're referring to how you found out last night that Hadou-senpai also likes Izuku and you just let her walk away!" Mina turned to her.

"Cut her some slack, Mina-chan. We're talking about one of the Big 3, the girl that can throw down rows of buildings with her shockwaves." Tooru interjected as she put down her glass.

"Besides that, if you saw what I did then you would totally understand." Tsuyu said calmly. "It was impossible for me to bring myself to oppose such overwhelming adorableness, none of you would have either."

All looked at each other before dropping their heads. "Agreed," said the group.

Tsuyu bit into her toast. "Frankly, I think having Nejire here is going to be quite the advantage."

"And what makes you think that she would follow through on what you asked?" retorted Mina. "We made that silly pact with Ochako and you saw how that ended up."

"That was then and this is now," replied Tsuyu with a rebuttal. "It was quite evident that the pact was going to fail. I mean, we were not so hidden about our feelings, ribbit!" Tsuyu wiped the crumbs off her lips with her napkin. "Besides, what makes you think anybody can be trusted? Momo, here, told her second crush about this. What makes you think he won't go and tell Izuku?"

"Trust me, he won't," replied Momo. "Shouto likes me too much and wouldn't dare talk!"

"Look at it from this standpoint." Tsuyu looked skyward to the ceiling. "Do I trust Nejire-senpai? No! Actually, can we trust each other?" Tsuyu gauged the table and neither of them looked at each other. "We are unified for a solidary purpose. We are friends, but we are women. Women who have the thirst and lust for Izuku. We are now consciously aware of the effects he can have on us. We need to maintain this control or else things could be worse."

Each girl nodded in congruence with Tsuyu.

"I don't have to trust Nejire-senpai. But I can trust Nejire to be Nejire, ribbit!" Tsuyu continued to look at the girls.

"What do you mean?" asked Kyouka inquisitively.

"Nejire-senpai is adorable, bubbly, somewhat idiotic, and honestly downright the sweetest thing on this Earth, ribbit!" Tsuyu said to them. "She is too cute to function! She can even be her own worst enemy if it wasn't for Toogata-senpai, Amajiki-senpai, and Haya-senpai being there.

What I am saying is that her intentions for Izuku are pure. She outright said she isn't sure she likes him that way, and she looked to him like an adorable pet. All she talked about was cuddling him and holding him and going for walks and taking him out for a picnic with little Eri-chan."

Tooru became tickled pink. "Oh my gosh! That is so so cute. Kawaii!" She cooed loudly. "See Eri-chan holding their hands, that is totes adorable. A Kodak moment right there."

Mina gripped the bridge of her nose. "Please stop the thought, Tooru! It kills me to see that. Because that is too damn cute." Blood began dripping from her nose. Kyouka and Momo agreed silently, knowing that they were seeing their Deku in the eyes of someone else. But everyone has an exception.

"With that being said, I am not so worried about Nejire-senpai and Izuku," said Tsuyu.

"Why not? I agree with your assessment about Hadou-senpai and her personality, but how can we be certain that she won't become unhinged like we did?" Momo questioned.

"Yeah! I mean, look at me, I'm a cutesy bubbly moe like her and I lost it as much as you guys!" Tooru agreed with her.

"Lord knows what will happen if Hadou-senpai goes crazy, just look at what happened to us. That's stuff of nightmares." Kyouka agreed as well. The thought of a deranged Nejire went through the minds of the girls, it was a terrifying thought with plenty of destructive implications.

Tsuyu shook the thought off and cleared her throat. "I hear your concerns and I can see where you guys are coming from, but there's no need to worry yourselves on that end, ribbit."

Mina crossed her arms. "Either way, if your senpai or your boy toy flips, then there will be hell to pay." She pursed her lips as she looked at Tsuyu and Momo. "And that's all I have to say about that."

The frog girl sighed. "Look, I know we're-"

"We? Oh no no no no, cutie. You! This was your idea! So if this blows up and unleashes the armagedom on this world, it will be on you!" Mina rudely interrupted her, pointing at her.

Tsuyu took a deep breath. "I'm taking a lot of risks with this, but you gotta trust me on this one. Yes, Tooru-chan here lost it as much as we did, but Nejire is far more innocent and pure than her. I'm confident that will cancel out any yandere impulses regardless of how much amorous she turns towards Izuku. She might be childish, but knows when not to overstep her boundaries and has way better self control than we do." She explained. "If this works, which I'm confident it will, then we'll recover the ctOS and get back at Kayama-sensei. And once we have the phone back, we'll have Hatsume copy the system for all of our phones before giving Tokoyami-chan his phone back."

The rest of the girls remained silent as they pondered on this.

"If you're still uncertain, we can keep an eye on Nejire and make sure she doesn't cross the line. Although we might need to bring a lot of whole wheat food to cancel out all the excessive sweetness will be exposed, especially if we spy on her when she has her picnic with Izu-chan and Eri-chan." Tsuyu added.

"Okay, let's say we go through with this. What about Ochako? Won't she do anything if she sees her… boyfriend with another girl?" Momo asked, forcing herself to finish that line with some clear disgust in her expression. The rest of the girls turned sour not just at the mention of the round-faced traitor, but also that the two of them are together now.

"No need to sweat over that, Ochako-chan and I know Nejire pretty well and I know that she won't be able to say no to her." Tsuyu replied with certainty.

"Very well and what exactly are you planning on having Hadou-san's friends do to Kayama-sensei?" Momo asked.

"About that… well-" Tsuyu was about to explain when she noticed that the boys were coming in.

Tenya, Yuga, Fumikage, and Hanta were the first group of boys to arrive at the dining area. Each wore a look of exhaustion on their face.

"We'll continue this discussion later." Tsuyu whispered to her friends.

"Fine! You better be right about this." Mina replied. With that the girls put a pin on the topic and just eat their breakfast quietly.

"...And so I told him, screw that, I don't reward snitches!" It was Hanta that spoke as he opened the refrigerator. Instead of grabbing breakfast, he just wanted a glass of tomato juice.

"Le sigh, mon ami. Poor lad! Poor enfant indeed." Yuga had his chocolate tea in his hand as he was preparing to make a cup. "Do you think Ojiro learned his lesson?"

"If he didn't, I don't mind refreshers," said Hanta with a cheeky grin.

"Easy with him, man," said Tenya as he took a carton of tomato juice from the refrigerator. "After yesterday, I don't even want to bet, to recon, practically anything that involves me getting in trouble. Only thing I want to do is to focus on Remnant History." He took a swig of his drink. "Thanks for lending me the money to buy the supplemental materials, Tokoyami-kun."

"Don't mention it," said the bird boy as he opted for a glass of tomato juice. The boys didn't really have an appetite after the amount of exercise they received from yesterday.

"You know I will pay you back," replied Tenya.

"Let's call it even," said Fumikage as he took a seat on the counter. He felt the strange vibe as he passed the girls, so he decided not to join them at the table. "I said some things, we did some things. Water under the bridge!"

Hanta nodded gently. "You're taken this quite well, you two. It wasn't less than 48 hours ago you were kicking each other's asses."

"And it wasn't even a few hours ago when my contact told me that he had to pull a lot of strings to prevent the feds from dry docking us with their flashlights." Fumikage said bluntly. "Somebody used the ctOS and there was a breach. Fortunately, my connect performed his magic to divert any attention to us. Thank God for hacking and coding!"

Tenya appeared concerned. "Who could have used it inappropriately?" In honesty, it was obvious that the only people who obtained it were the ones who issued out their punishment. He just played coy in case there were prying ears within the area.

"For the sake of our sanity and our wellbeing, I won't say names," replied Fumikage. "But, it is advised that we get this back or else we can face serious trouble. I don't know about you guys, but I am too handsome for jail. I might be dark and moody, but I like my freedom as the next guy." He looked at the others. "We have to play it cool for now. If the old man doesn't call us to his office, then we're good. However, it doesn't solve the problem to get it back from Vicky Don't Tell Nobody and Vain's Summit!"

"Question is who decoded it," asked Hanta. "It was written in bird, right? You said only you and the guy who taught you knew how to read it."

Fumikage scanned his nails. "Boys, the prowess of a woman can drive a man crazy." He dropped his head. "I am more crushed than hurt when a certain fink who was supposed to have my back used it for the sake of...whatever he had to do." He sighed. "It's gonna be a weird dance between us for a while...a long while." The bird-headed teen felt very disillusioned with his mentor, not that he is a total fault. Hawks is a man after all.

"Oh my…" Yuga covered his mouth in surprise.

"Even the best of men have weaknesses…" Tenya dropped his head.

"Then what's the point of the phrase, 'bros before hoes?'" questioned Hanta.

"This isn't the old days anymore, man," retorted Fumikage.

"You're right, Tokoyami-kun," said Tenya. "The rise of social media, self-loathing, narcissism, and apathy paves the way for this millenia. There is no leadership, no one to guide us and steer us in the right direction." He glanced around in case an unsuspecting mentor was passing around. "No one cares what is right or wrong as long as self-gratification is achieved."

Fumikage nodded with his friend. "This generation is a free-for-all! Every man for himself. No structure, no loyalty, everybody is out to gain, regardless of who they hurt. This weekend definitely showed us what we are capable of when we don't have control."

"Mistakes were made, I can admit that," said Hanta. "But I can't say that we're a lost cause."

"Those were the words you told Ojiro after you kicked his ass last night," said Fumikage.

"What was being done was business. I care for the centaur, but I had to let him know there were consequences when folding under pressure against the enemy," retorted Hanta. "He had to pay for his sins. Somebody had to step in." The black-haired tape teen took steady breaths. "I'm gonna stop by his favorite dessert shop after school and buy him some sweets. And I will have Aoyama here hand-personally deliver it to him."

"Why moi?" asked the French prince.

Hanta wrapped his arm around Yuga's shoulder. "Because true bros look after each other. And he won't easily flinch when he sees me, so he needs a pleasant face."

Yuga snorted through his nose. "Fine!" He gathered the tea kettle as he prepared to make his morning drink.

Even if the boys were talking in secrecy, they forgot to account for a certain Earphone Jack girl's hearing range. Kyouka will share this information with the others in private, the breach part was the most important, they'll need to have Hatsume do something about it if they want to avoid getting in trouble with the feds.

However, it wasn't a mystery who used the ctOS as she and the others saw when the bitches took Tokoyami's phone, but the question is for what those two would use it, but it was of no importance for the girls. At least for now.


The alarm clock on Izuku's phone alerted the Faunus that school was to be attended. He reached into his pocket and turned off the phone. As he wiped the crust in his eyes, he turned and saw the sleeping Ochako next to him, only this time, she was in her pajamas. He knew he could face trouble as he spent the night with her, but he didn't care at all. He remained by her side until she stopped crying.

He found her pajamas and helped her put them on. He cozied up with her in bed until she fell asleep. He didn't intend to spend the night, but he didn't want to leave her alone and it was clear she didn't want him to leave. She barely uttered a word last night, but once she was soothed enough, she clinged for dear life on him, as if terrified of letting him go.

Even now he was being surrounded by her arms as she continued sleeping. The emerald child glanced at her sleeping face, he didn't want to wake her up yet so he just laid there in silence along with his thoughts, holding his girlfriend gently in his arms for a few minutes before getting himself off from the bed, careful and slowly to not wake her up.

He wanted her to get a little more sleep, so he was going to head back to his dorm and grab a shower. Plus, he wanted to make carrot and beet stir-fry for breakfast. He was going to need his energy since Aizawa-sensei was preparing the class for whatever punishment he was going to give as a whole (as if both parties didn't think giving his classmates their punishments was enough).

He reached over and grabbed his pants. While putting them on, he felt something touching his hips. He turned over and saw the waking brunette. Dry tears caked her face. Her hair was unkempt. There were bags under her eyes. He may sound a bit vain and out of place, but seeing her in this state, she was still the prettiest girl in the world. Maybe it was his love for her talking.

"Hey! I didn't wake you, did I?" Izuku asked gently, bringing himself closer again..

She shook her head in disagreement. "No! I was actually up before you. I was just resting my eyes."

He released a tiny smile. "You know you're cute when you lie."

She pursed her lips. "Sorry for keeping you last night."

He shook his head. "No! I wouldn't have it any other way. I was concerned about you last night and thought I needed to see you. The Lord knows when discernment comes in place."

Ochako lied on her back. "Last night...last night felt like hell on Earth." She wiped her cheeks with her sleeve. "You just can't describe it. The twisted parlor game Sensei and Senpai played because...because…."

"Say less! We don't need to discuss it." Izuku didn't want to relive what he had already felt. He didn't know much about yesterday. Actually, he didn't want to know the details, he didn't need to. The fallout was enough itself to indicate this was the work of the perverted teacher and the vain, mediocre Heroine, obviously out of desire for him and jealousy to her. Anger was in his mind, but disappointment resided in his heart along with guilt. Was this the price to be in love with him? Was this the consequence for those who garnered for his affection?

Ochako looked at her cell phone and realized that it was time to get up. She was careful as she didn't want to feel the aches on her body. Izuku stood up and went to her drawer. He was grabbing her delicates in one drawer. He then went into the other drawer to grab her uniform. "Izuku, you don't get that stuff for me."

"It's okay. I insist," he retorted as he placed them on the bed. "If there is anything else you want me to do, I am at your disposal."

She winced. "You're too good to me."

"We're a team, baby. We look after each other," he told her gently, carsessing one of her cheeks softly.

She rested her head on his hand. "I believe you. But…."

"But what?"

"I don't know if I can show my face at school today." Ochako gripped her hands on the bed. The thought of seeing Kayama-sensei when she got to History class, seeing her friends who probably want her dead, and the thoughts of the boys who were making allegations if she and Izuku had sex. It was all too much for her.

It was troubling her and that was part of the reason she couldn't really sleep that well. It also didn't help that Kayama-sensei and Mount Lady threatened her if she were to tell what they did to her. The wicked look on their faces showcased their severity, especially since they recorded the ordeal on Kayama-sensei's phone. She couldn't tell Izuku that. It would hurt the teen if he knew that there was a distorted side of the women. Izuku had high regards and respect for them and she didn't want him to lose his respect for them.

Ochako still feels how Midnight pulled from her head harshly as she whispered in her ear her venom laced words before she finally left her alone after the twisted punishment she endured. "Izuku is ours, Uraraka! He belongs to us! He's our bunny boy and we will be sure that he hops in our hole whenever we want. For as long as we want. Get that through your poor, thick skull! Oh, tell what we did to you to him, then we will really give you something to cry about!" She tried not to tremble in front of Izuku as those worse resonated through her mind again.

Izuku understood her plight. He knew that Kayama-sensei and Takeyama-senpai were to blame. He also knew that she didn't want to face Tsuyu and the others. He honestly didn't blame Ochako. What would All Might do if he were in this mess? One thing is certain, he would tell him to not blame himself, because yet again Izuku feels like he is the root that brought upon all of this madness. He hoped that things would be back to normal, sadly not fast enough to spare Ochako this pain.

"It's okay, Ochako. I've got your back." He stood up and walked to the door. That was the best he could say. No matter how much confidence he exuded since he became a Faunus, he was still the nervous Izuku when dealing with a crisis. "I've got your back! I'm going to change clothes. I will come back and we can go to school together. Hand-in-hand, despite what others may say." He placed his hand on the door. "You're my girl. And don't ever forget that." He forced a slight smile before closing the door.

"What can I do? Can I even do something? I can't tell this to anybody unless I get some sort of evidence, which there's not… And probably Ochako wouldn't want me to do anything out of fear of making things worse." Izuku clenched his fist tightly in frustration as he walked towards his room, his knuckles turning pale white. He felt at a dead end, no one, not even All Might, would believe him if he says that a teacher did this to a student without any proof and he feels he shouldn't tell Ochako he knows who did this, it might cause her more stress and it's obvious she didn't want to talk about it either.

"Wait…" It was then that something came to his mind. "Maybe there is someone I can talk to… But until then, I have to keep a good eye on Ochako, I have to do what I can… to protect her!" He steeled his resolve, he couldn't have predicted that these sorts of consequences would take place, but now he knows to be prudent and vigilant not just for his own sake, but also Ochako's. There's no point in looking back, he can only go forward. "Until this is over, I must protect Ochako with all I got. We must weather this storm together, for as long as it takes, hopefully it won't be for too long."


Izuku moved quickly, he took a shower, changed into his uniform and gathered his backpack before quickly returning back to Ochako's room.

Despite being hesitant, he found her sitting on her bed, dressed up in her uniform and fixed up. Her shirt neck also covered up the Claiming Mark on her neck, but that's the least of his concernings at the moment.

Izuku grabbed his girlfriend's backpack before offering up his hand, which she took a hold of. Something he noticed is that she still wears the ring he gave her at the end of their date, it made him feel a little better.

Ochako stood up from her bed, although her legs were a little shaky for obvious reasons. "You ready?" Izuku asked her.

The gravity girl glanced down at the floor, she tightened her hold on her boyfriend's hand before looking back at her with a nervous, but brave face. "Y-yeah…" She nodded. The girl didn't want to come out of her room, but she can't run away from her fears, she wants to become a Heroine, just like her Deku wants to be a great Hero. She must face her fears head on and as long as Izuku is there to support her, she is willing to go through this trail.

The couple walked out of the room. It was still an hour before having to go to classes.

Izuku sensed Ochako tensing up as they walked through the common room. The boy also got on edge as he saw the rest of the girls sitting on the table eating in silence, however they didn't turn to look at them. Maybe they were ignoring them on purpose? Or to be precise, they were ignoring Ochako? He wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

On the other hand, Tenya, Yuga, Hanta and Fumikage greeted them. The emerald Faunus would have greeted them back, but he rather not push his luck and instead simply waved at them before resuming his pace with Ochako in hand. It was better to avoid unnecessary tension for the time being as there is still the risk of sparking some sort of outburst from the girls and Ochako was in no condition to be close to them as of yet anyway.

Today will be a very difficult day...

Sometime later…

It wasn't ideal to eat breakfast from a vending machine in the school, but Izuku knew Ochako didn't want to be near the girls and prefered avoiding them if it can be helped. Besides any moment of quietness is appreciated with the day not just the two of them, but all of the Class A will have today.

"Before class, I need to go and see Recovery Girl." Izuku bit into his melon bread as he looked at Ochako.

"Any particular reason?" Ochako asked as she took the melon bread from him. Money was tight between them so they were sharing breakfast.

"I...I have some questions." "Questions that certainly need answering." Izuku replied as he took a sip from the carton of milk tea. "If you want, you can come."

She shook her head in disagreement. "I don't need to hear. Plus, I wouldn't be allowed to hear what's going on."

"You can stand outside and wait for me," he told her assuringly.

"No, I'm okay! If anything, by the time I head to class, Aizawa-sensei will be there for homeroom," she said to him. At least she could feel safe since she knew the girls wouldn't dare try anything when their teacher was present in the classroom, even if she felt anxious to be near them.

"I shouldn't be there too long," he told her. "I just need Recovery Girl to figure this out."

Ochako nodded. "I understand."

Izuku looked at the clock and figured that Recovery Girl should be in her office. "Do you want me to walk you to class?"

"I'm okay," she said with a weak smile. "I know my way."

Izuku and Ochako kissed each other on the lips. The duo held hands before they went their separate ways. Izuku prayed that today would be a better day for Ochako, especially when everything and everyone opposing her were going to be in the vicinity.


Izuku arrived at the infirmary. He knocked on the door. "Excuse me!" He said before coming in.

The boy found the tiny old nurse sitting on her chair drinking on a cup of coffee. "Ah, Midoriya, morning." She greeted him.

The emerald rabbit bowed to her respectfully. "Good morning Recovery Girl." He greeted her.

"I heard about the whole mess your class got into, you just can't get help but get into some crazy shenanigans, can you?" The nurse commented bluntly.

Deku rubbed the back of his head awkwardly. "Looks like not…"

The nurse took a sip from her cup. "I also heard you went out on a date with Ochako Uraraka on Saturday and didn't come back until the next day. It's safe to assume that you went and… 'seal the deal' with her, correct?" Recovery Girl guessed correctly.

Izuku's face lit up with embarrassment. "Y-yeah…" He nodded as he avoided eye contact with her.

"I see. Congratulations then." said the tiny old lady. "But, I assume that you didn't come this early just to inform me of that. Something else happened, correct?" She put the cup on her desk before looking back at the boy.

Izuku glanced back at Recovery Girl and nodded in confirmation. "What you told me the other day, about the effects of my pheromones… You were right. The girls in my classroom, they went crazy." He explained with a concerned expression.

"Hmmm… I feared as much. I heard it was them that caused severe damages to three rooms of your dorm, a clear sign of them going unhinged with violent impulses. Did they do something or Uraraka?" Recovery Girl asked with concern.

"Thankfully no." The emerald child shook his head in denial. "But…" He glanced briefly to the side as he rubbed his right arm.

"They weren't the only ones, am I right?" The nurse guessed what he was going to say.

Izuku nodded in confirmation. "It was… Midnight and Mount Lady."

"I see. I actually expected Kayama to get like that, but Takeyama too, eh?" Recovery Girl replied half-surprised.

Izuku then explained to her what happened in regards to Midnight and Mount Lady.

"Oh my god…" Uttered the nurse. "Now it makes sense why Kayama was the one to impart the punishment to the girls. Poor lassies, especially your girlfriend, I can't imagine what sort of hell she and Takeyama put them through." She said with sympathy.

"I can understand why Midnight-sensei would be this affected, but why Mount Lady too? Sure, she comes around here often, but I barely saw her, let alone interact with her." Izuku said, perplexed. "I just don't get it!" He glanced to the floor in frustration.

"Hmm, that doesn't sound any good at all and to be honest with you, neither do I. I'll have to look deeper into this, but there is something I can tell you right now." The nurse replied.

"Huh?" Izuku glanced back at her.

"You see, I was afraid that would happen." Recovery Girl clicked her tongue. She went to her computer and began typing on the keyboard. "Over the course of a few weeks, I have been running some tests."

"Tests?"

"I've been concerned lately regarding one of many incidents that have occured since your transformation, young man," she said as she clicked her tongue again. "Aizawa's right about you. You can be quite the troublemaker."

Izuku paid attention to what the old nurse was about to explain to him.
