(A/N: Thanks for the review My Hero XIII. :) For once this chapter has no smut within it. The oc needs a break, lol!)


"Hey, hey! Isn't this exciting?!"

"I suppose, but we're not exactly that close to Mr. Todoroki's youngest son. Do you think it's alright for us to be here...?"

"Of course! Everyone who works at the corporation was invited. Remember, silly? It's just a shame Mirio couldn't come...And Amajiki flat out refused. You don't like parties either, but you still came with me!"

Kaori just smiled tiredly at a pouting Nejire, wondering if she should have hidden under her covers the same way Amajiki had when the chipper periwinkle haired girl tried to drag him out of the house? Her light green eyes turned in the direction of their guest of honor, and her features softened seeing Shoto Todoroki standing next to an adorably petite and green haired young woman.

"They make such an sweet pair, huh?" Nejire gushed, clapping her hands together. Izuku was a blushing wreck, but it was no wonder since this party was held in honor of her engagement to Todoroki; someone most of them honestly never thought would ever bother to settle down. "Just look how Todoroki's holding Izuku close to him. He's being so protective of her! Don't you want a guy like that?"

A faint blush appeared on Kaori's tan face. It was embarrassing, but she had never even had a boyfriend. And here she was in her twenties and still single...Normally stuff like that had never bothered her, but she supposed a part of her was a tad lonely. She was no good when it came to talking to the opposite sex, and the fact that she didn't believe she was all that attractive didn't help with her confidence...

"I suppose it would be nice...But maybe one not 'that' protective." Kaori mused awkwardly. Todoroki would often glare at any guy who seemed to be getting too close to his fiancée, pulling Izuku close to him or he would silently walk away with Izuku in tow; the emerald eyed female profusely apologizing when he did so.

"Does that mean you'd rather be with a shy kitten like Amajiki, then~"

Kaori's face flushed with even more color, this causing Nejire to sport a sneaky smile and poke at Kaori's cheek. Before anything more could be said between the two females, Nejire had spotted her friend Yuyu in the crowd and had dashed off after her. A small moan left Kaori's lips since she knew how easily distracted Nejire could get, but she didn't think Nejire would just ditch her like that after dragging her here!

Heading over to the buffet table, Kaori took to downing the alcohol that had been provided. Watching the couples together or just others having fun was making her feel a little depressed, and a nice buzz would possibly help her lighten up enough to join in with the partying mood. After her third drink, Kaori could already feel a warmness spreading throughout her body and her head felt just a little foggy.

Giggling as she stumbled off, her path was halted when she crashed into something solid.

"Eh? I didn't know there was a wall here?"

"Do I look like a fucking wall to you-"

"And it talks, too! I had no idea walls could talk~!"

"Why are you...No. That's not important. You're drunk? Dumb ass...What the hell were you thinking letting yourself get intoxicated at a party of all places? Do you even know what happens to idiot women like you when you're in a state like this?"

Still not comprehending she was face to face with a person, Kaori poked the hard object in its chest. "H-how rude! I am not...not drunk! Do I look like the type who would get drunk to you, Mr. Wall?"

The male let out an irritated groan, leading the spiky haired female off and glaring at anyone who gave them curious looks as he tried to keep her steady. Leading Kaori up the stairs of the large mansion, the man scoffed hearing various moans and grunts coming from behind some of the closed doors. Didn't people have anything better to do?

Finally coming across a room that was unoccupied, the man kicked open the door before leading Kaori into the room. He helped her onto the lavish bed, tugging off the heels she wore and then clicking his tongue in disapproval when she giggled like a little girl and splayed out on the bed, not seeming to care that her dress had risen up a little.

"Just lay there until the alcohol wears off,"

"Come lay with me. There's plenty of room,"

"That's a bad-Oi! What the hell are you-!" He had been tugged down onto the bed with her, and the male stiffened feeling the girl cuddling into his back. "K-knock that the fuck off! You're going to regret-"

"But you smell so nice. Like old spice and cedar wood," Kaori hummed out, merely giggling when she was abruptly flipped onto her back with a figure now hovering over her. "You have such pretty eyes, Mr. Wall."

"Stop calling me that, you drunken idiot! Dammit...Why'd we have to meet again like this?" the man muttered, closing his eyes when feeling the woman beneath him affectionately running her small fingers through his hair. Just that little touch of hers was making him shiver. "Anything I do at this point...it's all your fault...You better remember that..."


Kaori gasped when she awoke from her dream, sitting up on the less than comfortable cot where she lay where she ran a hand through her lightly damp hair. Her dream, no memory, was on a day she would have rather forgotten. She had behaved like such a fool, and had ended up sleeping with a guy she didn't even know. Granted Kaori knew she wasn't the only one who had fallen asleep at Todoroki's manor, but she had felt so humiliated and ashamed sneaking out of the room she had awoken in-finding herself in the arms of a sleeping stranger.

And he was a stranger. Wasn't he? She had been so jumpy and startled when she awoke, that Kaori hadn't taken a good look at the man's face. And yet he seemed so similar to...

"Are you awake?"

Jolting, Kaori turned to face the bars that confined her to the medium sized area. She hadn't even realized that this wasn't her normal cell. At least there she had a door for privacy. Not that she was allowed much privacy when Bakugou was around, but still...

"3077, I have two important messages for you," Bakugou stated, his face cold as usual. "First, your sentence has been extended until June 26th, 2032. In other words, you earned yourself another year."

Just because of my escape attempt, he's forcing me to remain here for one more year Kaori thought in horror. Hadn't the warden punished her enough when he took her against her will?

"Second, I sentence you to 72 hours in an isolation cell, in complete darkness. It's a common punishment for those who've committed serious offenses such as attempted jailbreak," Bakugou addressed icily. "You'll be given enough food and water to survive. Just stay here for 72 hours and behave yourself. You can do that, can't you?"

"B-but isn't this a bit too much?! You're not really going to leave me in a place like this are-" Kaori's sentence stopped short at the glare Bakugou sent her, and she gazed down at the ground.

"Do I need to punish you again for talking back to me?"

Kaori didn't say anything and closed her eyes. Much to her relief Bakugou didn't lay a hand on her, and she could hear his footsteps moving further away. Darkness greeted her when she opened her eyes, and she shivered when the little bit of light was gone after Bakugou slammed the door shut.

This is a good thing, right? He didn't touch me, and I'm alone and away from that warden for 72 hours Kaori told herself, wrapping her arms around her shaking form. But I'm kind of scared...People have gone insane in situations like this...But I'll be fine...I'll be fine...


Carrying a stack of boxes in his arms, Shinsou paused in his pace when noticing Bakugou. Now that I think about it, I haven't seen that girl in some time...Wonder if she's alright?

Two years ago Shinsou had the upmost respect for Bakugou. He had stood up for him when Hitoshi had been attacked on his first day here, and the warden had even implored him to seek something out of the yakuza when Shinsou was free. Bakugou claimed the prison would even support him with whatever he chose to do with his life if he did turn over a new leaf.

Outside of his boss, no one had ever encouraged or believed he was worth anything...Yet this was no longer the same guy Shinsou had once respected.

"Mr. Bakugou, I trusted you," Shinsou found himself speaking up, giving the warden pause in his pace. "You always used to watch over us with a watchful eye, like a warden should. ...But you've changed. Now the only one you watch over is her. So, where'd she go?"

Bakugou scoffed, pulling out his whip and bundling it as he placed the thick rope beneath Shinsou's chin to lift up-their eyes almost giving off an electrical discharge when they met. "Prisoners don't have the right to ask questions. Go back to your cell."

He's definitely hiding something Shinsou thought, narrowing his eyes at the warden, but he said nothing more.


"I wonder how many hours, how many days has it been? It feels like I've been in here for an eternity," Kaori said to herself just to break the eerie silence around her. "And how is Tamaki doing...? I wonder if he thinks I stood him up when I didn't escape...? I wish I could see him..."

The door opening caused Kaori to wince from the brilliant bright light that entered into the once pitch black room. Sitting up and staring at the figure, it was almost like she was setting eyes on an angel garbed in dark clothing for he almost appeared to glow.

"3077, there's a letter for you," Bakugou spoke, dangling the sealed envelop in front of her once entering inside the cell. "I've checked its contents. There seems to be nothing wrong with it."

That has to be from Tamaki Kaori realized, her face brightening as she reached for the letter.

"Did I give you permission to read it?" Bakugou spat out, dropping the letter and crushing it beneath his boot; his cruel actions making Kaori gasp. "I'm still in the middle of conveying your messages...From now on, you won't be allowed visitors anymore."

"Huh? You can't be serious...?!"

"We can't allow someone who tried to escape to have direct contact with others. ...Wasn't there...somebody on the outside assisting with your escape?"

"No! I came up with the idea on my own...!" Kaori cried out quickly. The last thing she would want was for Tamaki to be held liable. She'd never forgive herself if anything happened to him.

"Whatever...Do you really want to read this," Bakugou demanded, leaning in close to Kaori with a devilish smirk. "Why don't you show me how much you want it...with a kiss."

He's evil...Completely evil...

"I don't have all day, 3077. Or are you okay with me throwing it away?"

Her hands balling into fists at her sides, a red mark forming above her nose, Kaori leaned forward and squeezed her eyes shut when her lips connected with Bakugou's surprisingly soft ones. Gripping onto her head and pulling Kaori into a deeper kiss, the warden didn't allow her to pull back, and her face heated up as he sucked and nibbled on her lips.

A bit of drool was left behind when Bakugou pulled away, and he snickered while announcing smugly, "Heh...I'd like to show that face of yours to whoever wrote this letter. Now, get out. Your time in isolation is over."

Kaori scooted down onto the floor where Bakugou had left the letter, clutching at it as though it were something truly precious. Tears formed in her eyes. She wouldn't be able to see Tamaki for two years. And there was also the possibility this might be the last letter Kaori would receive from him.

She was alone again with no one but Bakugou at her side to do with her as he pleased...But maybe in some twisted way, she deserved all this? Her mother used to tell her how worthless Kaori was, perhaps she had been right all along...


Panting lightly as she had just finished moving a large hamper piled with clothes, Kaori moved to a corner of the laundry room where she could take a moment to catch her breath. Bakugou had of course gotten rid of her kitchen duties, putting her in charge of laundry instead. She never would have guessed, but it was surprisingly hard and tiring work.

I bet he's only going to give me more difficult jobs after this Kaori thought bitterly, pulling her knees up to her chest.

The sound of the door being turned made Kaori tense up, yet seeing Shinsou, her body eased up once again. Out of everyone here, he seemed like the last person who would hurt her.

"I managed to escape the guards watch to look for you...Where in the world have you been?" Shinsou questioned, furrowing his brows. She looked like a scared little mouse huddled in the corner like that. Just what had happened to her?

A sudden idea crossed the lavender haired male, and his hands tightened into fists at his sides. Was Bakugou seriously doing that to her...?

He's concerned about me Kaori pondered, not sure why she had begun to cry. She felt so pathetic for always breaking down so easily like this lately...but seeing someone showing genuine concern for her made Kaori feel happy for a change. Though she didn't understand why a shadow had formed over Shinsou's eyes, and she was even more startled when the muscular male had suddenly pulled her toward him into a comforting hug.

Huh?
