"Come on, Kitia!"

"I don't know about this..."

"You need to lighten up!"

"Yea, where's your fun side today, huh?"

I scratched my eyebrow. "Fun side? Guys, you know the boys will eventually turn up, right? Especially if those two creeps find out we're here..."

"That's why you're the one wearing this, not us." Momo shoved a swim suit in my face. "Put it on."

"I have my own. Curtesy of Kaminari, by the way." I showed them mine. None of them looked impressed.

"How about a compromise? You put this on and then yours on over it?"

"But what would be the point? Ribbit."

"Exactly! Thank-you, Tsu!"

"I mean, none of them would see it then."

I sweat-dropped. "And here I was thinking you were on my side..."

"Sorry, this is the only way to get someone's attention."

"I really hate how you guys all know now."

"It really wasn't that hard to figure out."

"Yea, plus your already close with him, so what's the problem?"

I growled. "There's a lot of problems around it..."

Momo threw the suit at me. "Put it on or we'll all pin you down and do it."

I narrowed my eyes at her. "You wouldn't..."

Momo created a short bit of rope from her body, Tsu lashed her tongue out and Ashido cracked her knuckles as the other girls held their arms out towards me.

"Gah, fine! But I hate you all!"

Ashido hugged me. "No you don't!"

They had already put their swim suits on. Their SCHOOL swim suits on.

"We'll meet you out there!"

I pouted as they left. They had no idea what they were talking about. They just all assumed. I sighed. "Oh well. This game shall be interesting, if not anything else."

I slowly changed into the bright purple two piece that Momo had made for me. I looked in the mirror and cringed. Why had I let her talk me into this?

We've hidden your school swimsuit. Good-luck finding it. Here, wear this instead.

I dead-panned at the memory. Jerks. I spun around in front of the mirror. I didn't like this idea.

I put the shorts on over the bottoms, and just kept the bikini top on. I looked again and sighed. I heard footsteps on the other side of the door. Yup. Figured as much.

I waited a few minutes before heading outside to the school's pool. I flattened myself against the door, watching everyone.

"...great idea to suggest endurance training at school!"

I covered my mouth and laughed quietly. Endurance training? Idiots.

"Now, why don't you come and sweat with the rest of us?"

I had to bite my tongue from laughing too hard when Iida dragged Kaminari and Mineta over to rest of the boys.

I snuck out as all the boys started on their training, and sat on the edge of the pool. They were all so busy, none of them noticed. I honestly didn't know whether to feel offended or relieved. I spotted Mineta and Kaminari staring at the girls and decided on relieved.

"Hey, Kitia. You compromised and it still looks good!"

"Shoosh, Dodo! They haven't even noticed yet! Let's see how long it takes them." I grinned and leaned towards the girls. "Let's place bets on who notices first!"

"What are we betting?"

I tapped my chin and shrugged. "I got nothing."

"I know!" Ashido pumped her fist in the air. Oh hell. "What if we make a bet that whoever notices first, Kitia has to kiss that one!"

I made a face. "Oh hell no. You need to stop. Right now. And besides, I'm going to guess either Aoyama or Shouji, so what if I win?" I slipped into the water and shivered.

"If you win, I'll do your homework for a month after the break!"

I looked at Momo and shook my head. "Sorry. I don't need you to do my homework. Next."

"We'll stop teasing you about liking-"

I glared at Tooru. "I don't care if you tease me about it, just don't freaking say anything to anyone else!"

"Well, how about we just come up with it later. We all know that it'll be either Mineta or Kaminari anyway."

"Nah. I reckon Aoyama because I'm not wearing the whole swim suit he picked out for me."

"I thought you said Kaminari got it for you?"

"He bought it for me, but Aoyama picked it out." I laughed and told them the story. "...and their faces were freaking amazing!"

"...There's no way I'd lose to a damn nerd like you!"

"Annnd Go-Go's here..." I looked up. "I was wondering when he was gonna get here. Come to think of it, I didn't see Kirishima here either..."

"...Sorry I'm late! It took some time to get Bakugo to come."

I nodded. "Ah. Right. There he is."

"The boys are always fighting, huh?"

"It wouldn't be them if they didn't."

"Besides, it's highly amusing."

"How is it amusing?"

I shrugged. "I like to guess in my head how long it'll take before I have to step in, if at all."

The girls sweat-dropped. "How often do you do that...?"

I tapped my chin. "Depends on how often the fights get out of hand."

"So, almost everyday?"

I nodded. "That's a fair assumption."

"Hey, damn Deku! You wanna decide things right now? Huh?"

I lifted my hand. "Case and point..."

They all nodded. "That's fair enough..."

"Everyone, do you want to see which of the boys can swim fifty metres the fastest?"

I nudged Jiro and smirked. "This oughta be good..."

"Says the girl who can't swim..."

"I don't count! I'm not a boy!"

"Come on, let's go give them a hand." The girls all followed Momo out of the pool. I was still a little self-conscious, but I got out and made sure I stayed behind all the girls.

"Iida, we'll help too."

"Thanks."

"What about quirks? Can we use them?"

"We're at school, so it shouldn't be a problem."

I face-palmed. "What would be the actual fucking point?" I muttered to myself. It's supposed a swimming race! The fuck guys?

"However, you can't cause damage to any people or buildings!"

Tooru nudged me. "I can't believe any of them haven't noticed you yet.."

I shrugged. "There's ego, testosterone and stubbornness involved. Besides, at this point, I'd happily be invisible like you!"

I felt her arm around my shoulder. "No you wouldn't."

I narrowed my eyes. "Shut it!"

"I'll crush you too, you half and half bastard!"

I looked over. "Oh look. Frost-flame is here too. Mate, even I want to smack Bakugo for that comment though. He really needs to calm his tits..."

All the boys lined up to race. Mate, this is definitely going to be interesting. Jiro nudged me and smirked. I growled at her. "I'm starting to really dislike you..."

She just laughed.

Momo had the whistle and was starting the race. Mineta, Tokoyami, Kouda, Bakugo and Kaminari were first. I had to laugh though. Kaminari could easily just electrocute them all, but whether he would or not is a different story. Me on the other hand, I'd do it and laugh all the way across and nearly drown in my own tears, let alone the actual pool water.

"Go!" Momo blew the whistle and I laughed when Bakugo took off into the air. Well there goes that idea. Hm, I probably would splash him and do it that way...

"How was that, you extras?!"

Wow. Just wow.

"What do you mean, how was that?!"

"You didn't even touch the fucking water!"

"It's freestyle!"

I held my stomach, trying not to die from laughing so hard. "I'm going over there before you lot have a body to dispose of."

I went over a wall and sat against it, in the sun. I was far enough away were I could barely hear what was being said.

The next race was Sero, Aoyama, Todoroki, Satou and Kirishima. Well then. I started laughing again when Sero used his tape to pull himself over, Aoyama used his laser and collided with him. Todoroki froze his lane, so he of course won.

Iida, Midoriya, Ojiro and Shouji. If they weren't using quirks, I would've put my money on Shouji. I was surprised when they all jumped into the pool, except...

"You too, Iida?!"

Wooooow! There was a bit of an interesting neck and neck situation between him and Midoriya, but Midoriya managed to beat him.

"Ha! Bitch!" I jumped up and put one fist to my side as I threw the other one up in the air. I could barely keep my mouth shut. I was almost going full dark-side mode.

"You sound so evil sometimes, you know that?"

I slowly put my fist down and put on a straight face before I turned around. I scratched the back of my head and smiled. "Sorry, Satou. Unintentional. Just a habit."

"A habit?"

I blinked, then shifted my eyes. "Oh, nothing. You know, you're the first one of the boys to even talk to me." I spotted Kouda half hidden behind Satou. "Oh, hey Kouda. Two of you then."

"We agree that you probably shouldn't have worn that." Satou gestured to the bikini I was wearing, and Kouda nodded.

I blinked, then frowned. "You two noticed, but that lot-" I pointed to the rest of the boys. "-haven't even looked at me." I laughed. "That is great. But why shouldn't I? You boys are only wearing shorts. Why shouldn't I wear this, when you lot aren't wearing shirts, huh?"

"...You're annoying to argue with, you know that?"

I grinned and laughed. "Only because you know I make a valid point."

"You're lucky it's us that noticed and not Mineta and Kaminari."

"Those two dick-bags wouldn't do shit. They're more scared of me than anything else."

Kouda nodded, making rapid hand movements. I sighed. "I'm not that scary, Kouda. Regardless of what happened in the exam. They wanted me to go all out, so I did. I still can't believe they made me go up against five teachers in fifteen minutes. That's so unfair..."

"They obviously knew you were capable. It puts us all to shame, if I'm being honest. Especially since it was just you up against five teachers, with fifteen minutes."

Kouda nodded and gave me a thumbs up. My cheeks went slightly red. "I don't know if I was impressive. I still haven't got a handle on this...quirk."

"It's more like power that you have, mademoiselle, not quirks."

Sweat appeared on my head as Aoyama stepped up beside me. "Uh, I don't know about that, Sparkles. I just...Just don't have a good grip on things yet."

"You know, if anything is bothering you-"

"The winners of each heat: Bakugo, Todoroki and Midoriya. Will race for first place. Is that alright?"

I breathed a sigh of relief as the boys attention went to Iida.

"Hey, half-half bastard! Don't hold back like you did at the sports festival. Come at me seriously."

"Alright."

"You too, Deku!"

"Alright, Kacchan."

"Ooh. This oughta be good." I held my fists to my chin, grinning and eyes narrowed.

"...Evil again..."

"Mademoiselle...?"

"Then the fifty metre freestyle will begin now!"

Everyone started shouting. I couldn't make out half of what was being said, until I heard the whistle. The three boys jumped into the air and then stopped.

I widened my eyes as a question mark appeared above my head. The boys fell into the water, their quirks having been erased.

"It's five pm."

We all looked over to the door where Mr Aizawa was walking through. "Your pool use time is now ended. Hurry up and go home."

"Come on, Mr Aizawa!"

"We just got to the good part!"

Aizawa's eyes flashed. "Did you say something?"

"Nothing, sir!"

Mate, I love how he can just look at this lot a certain way and shut them up.

After we had gotten changed and headed out, I started to think about what Aoyama said. He said...Now what was it? I thumped my fist into my other palm. That's right. It's more like power that you have, mademoiselle, not quirks.

I rubbed my chin. He's definitely a lot more clever than he makes out. Damn you Sparkles! At this rate, he's going to figure out who I really am, and then it'll be all over!

I frowned as I heard voices, and looked up.

"No matter who it is, I won't let them catch up to me, let alone get ahead of me! Isn't that what it means to be better than All Might. To be better than the number one hero?"

I saw Kirishima smile at Bakugo. I smiled as well and shook my head, trotting to catch up.

"No. I don't think that's it."

They both turned. "What the fuck do you want?"

"Nothing. I just gotta go this way. Spotted you and figured you'd want to throw insults at me to make you feel better."

Bakugo growled. "You're like a limpet and just as irritating."

"Like a growth?"

He stared at me for a moment, then smirked. "Worse."

I grinned and put an arm through his and Kirishima's arms. "Well then, I better start acting like it, huh?"

"You are seriously annoying..."

"Aw, but she's cute though!"

I dead-panned. "Shut up, stone-boy!" I thought for a moment, then grinned. "What are you two doing tonight?"

"Why?"

"Wanna get your ass kicked in Mortal Kombat?"

Kirishima grinned. "Not if I beat you first!"

Bakugo looked like he was going to refuse, but then smirked again. Man, this kid never smiled. "I'll kick your ass!"

"You wish, explosion-boy!"

"Don't you fucking start that again!"

I grinned as they started throwing insults at each other. Looks like I was going to be the referee tonight.

"Alright. TV's over there. You two start, I have to make a phone call. I assume you know how to use an Xbox?"

"Who fucking doesn't?!"

"Why is that even a question?"

I laughed and went to my room to take out my phone. I closed the door most of the way as I pressed dial.

"Yes?"

"I can't go anywhere tonight. Had something come up. Is there anything I need to know?"

I heard a rustle and then I heard Tomura's voice. "Just that it's time to start our game."

I grinned. "Oh good. I was starting to get bored."

"We can't have that, now. My little sister bored? No, that just won't do."

I giggled as Tomura spoke. He used to speak this way to me as a child as a way of comforting me. "You ready, sister?"

I gripped the phone, grinning, hopping from foot to foot. "Absolutely, brother. It's about time."

"UA High has finished it's first semester and started summer vacation. However, those of you trying to be heroes will not receive days of rest. At this summer training camp, we'll have you aiming for even greater heights. For 'Plus Ultra'!"

"Yes, sir!"

I hopped from foot to foot. I was getting anxious. I wanted to move.

"Are you ok, Kitia?"

"Oh, uh. Sure, Shouji. Just feel like running is all. I mean, I'm sick of standing still."

He frowned. "That doesn't sound like you. You normally would rather sleep...Not unlike Mr Aizawa, now that I think about it."

"I can be active sometimes, man." I sweat-dropped at his skeptical expression. I turned, scratching my neck. "Ok, maybe I happen to get the motivation from you lot, ok? No big deal..."

Satou threw his arm around my shoulders. "See? I knew you loved us!"

"Shut up, sugar-boy."

"What? There are people in 1-A taking extra classes? Does that mean you had people fail the finals? What? Isn't that weird? Isn't that weird? Even though they were supposed to be way better than 1-B? How can that be?"

I glared at Monoma. "Can I please bitch slap that prick, or is someone else gonna?"

Kendo reached out and smacked him in the head. I grinned and laughed. "Thank-you!"

"Yea, sorry about that!" Kendo dragged Monoma's unconscious form away. Oh I really hope I get to beat that cunt up!

"1-A's bus is this way! Line up in seat order!"

I rolled my eyes. "Calm your shit Iida..."

I climbed onto the bus and realized I'd be sitting by myself. For some reason, I was actually disappointed.

"Everyone, the bus will stop once in about an hour. After that-"

"Let's play some music!"

I smirked. Boy should've thought to bring his own, like I did. I put my headphones over my ears and lay my head on the window. I had the music up loud enough to drown out all the chatter.

I managed to drift off and go to sleep until we got to the stop that Mr Aizawa mentioned. I barely heard him over the noise.

I stepped off the bus and looked around. I frowned at a random car sitting there. It wasn't the car itself that bothered me. I felt like I was being watched...I shook my head. Not creepy at all.

"There's no point stopping without a reason."

Then, what's the reason...

The doors of the car opened. "Hey, Eraser!"

"Long time no see."

I blinked. What the hell?

"Lock on with these sparkling gazes!"

"Stingingly cute and catlike!"

"Wild, wild Pussycats!"

Two women had jumped out of the car, dressed like cats! There was a boy with them, but he didn't look too impressed. Same, kid. Same.

"These are pro heroes who will be working with us during the camp, the Pussycats."

Oh, thank Hell. Aizawa isn't dumping us with those two alone! Don't say anything, Kitia. Keep your smart mouth shut!

Midoriya appeared in front of us. "They're a four person hero team who set up a joint agency!"

I dead-panned. "There's more of them?!"

"Yes! They're a veteran team that specializes in mountain rescues! This year will be their twelfth working-" This boy is gonna get slapped...

The Pussycat dressed in blue grabbed Midoriya's face. Called it.

"I'm eighteen at heart!"

I breathed out a puff. Were all pros some kind of crazy? I'm certainly not keen on finding out, especially if the other two members of the Pussycats are as flashy as these two...

"Greet them, everyone."

"Nice to meet you!"

The red Pussycat held her arm out to the forest below the place where we were standing. "We own this whole stretch of land here."

Well. That's impressive.

"You all will be staying at the foot of that mountain."

"So far!"

"Huh? Then why did we stop here?"

I looked at Ochako and put my hand on my chin. "My money is on walking."

"Could that mean...?"

"No way..."

"Why don't we get back on the bus, huh? Fast."

"Yea. Let's do that."

"It's nearly nine thirty am right now. If you're fast, maybe around noon?"

I grinned. I take that back. I like this chick.

Everyone ran back to the bus. I stayed where I was, grinning like a Cheshire cat.

"Kitties who don't make it by twelve thirty pm won't get any lunch!"

Ooh. I like this game...

"Sorry, ladies and gentlemen. Training camp has already begun."

I watched in interest as the blue Pussycat jumped in front of everyone and placed her hand/paw on the ground and pushed everyone away from the bus and over the edge of the lookout. The red Pussycat leaned over the edge. "Hey! Since it's private land, you can use your quirks as you wish! You have three hours! Come to the facility on your own two feet! After getting through...The Beast's Forest!"

I wandered over to the edge and looked down. "You forgot about me...And when you say 'feet', do you mean literally, or can I...?" My wings appeared on my back. "I'll make sure I give everyone else a fair go! Please?! I won't leave them too far behind!"

"Kitia..."

"Uh, yes Mr Aizawa?"

He nodded. "It's fine. You need to be here as much as everyone else. You need to learn to control your quirks. Here, you can do that."

The red Pussycat nodded. "Yes, we know, so don't worry. Now, hurry up and get going!" The blue Pussycat picked me up and threw me over the edge. I laughed and glided all the way down, landing next to Aoyama. I looked at the dark forest in front of us and grinned, hopping from one foot to the other.

"This is going to be fun!" I threw my fist in the air. "I think I'm going to like it here!"

"...You really are crazy, Kitia..."

I laughed and jogged ahead into the forest. I turned around and jogged backwards. "You lot coming or what?!"

"The Beast's Forest?!"

"That name sounds like it came out of Dragon Quest!"

"UA does stuff like this way too much."

"It's no use complaining."

I stopped and stared at them all. Seriously guys? I shook my head and cupped my hand over my mouth. "Come on, hurry up! You really want me to beat you all there! I'm going, so try and catch up!" I turned and started to run. I grinned as I felt my feet hit the dirt. I heard a scream and skidded to a stop.

"What the hell...?"

I heard a crash and turned back around. What the hell was that? I got to a tree and poked my head out. I widened my eyes. So, this is why they call it the Beasts Forest...I grinned. I should have guessed. I watched Midoriya, Todoroki, Iida and Bakugo attack the giant dirt monster and then slipped back behind the tree. They should be fine. I wanted to play my own game. I grinned and started to run again. If I was going to go all out, I didn't want them getting in the way.

I saw another dirt monster spring out of the ground. This one had wings. I couldn't stop grinning. I love this place!

I was on top of a tall tree, looking around. I didn't need to see where everyone was. I could hear the explosions and the shouts. Ah, there's the facility. Now that I knew where it was, I shouldn't need to keep changing direction. I jumped from that tree to the one next to it. I wonder if anyone's noticed I'm gone yet? I shook my head. I doubt it. They were too busy. I landed on the ground and followed a path I had found. It should lead to the facility. I stopped and looked around. What was that? I felt a rumble under the ground. Uh oh. It was getting stronger. I took off running in the direction of the facility.

Suddenly, there was a loud explosion and a giant dirt monster came out of the ground in front of me. I stopped and stared up at it. It stared at me back. This one had huge arms and legs, and large wings. I felt another rumble and another dirt monster appeared behind me. This one didn't have wings and looked like a giant snake with claws.

"So. You're not going to give me a chance? Aw, what shall I do?"

The snake looking monster skittered towards me as the winged one ran at me. I waited until the last minute, then dodged out of the way. Both monsters collided with each other, the impact sliding me backwards. I looked up as the monsters recovered and tried to attack me again. Alright, let's see how strong they are. I whipped my arm out, creating a shield. The hit the shield, but they couldn't bust through. Ok, what about this then? I created a bow and aimed at the winged monster as it flew into the air. Ah, so they're not stupid either. It was trying to go over my shield. I shot it in the shoulder. It didn't howl like I expected it too and it didn't go down.

"Hm. Someone's controlling them." I grinned. "This just a lot more interesting."

I replaced my bow with my naginata. I leapt onto the snake, slicing through it's face and jumping up onto the winged beast. I landed on it's back and hacked one of it's wings off. It fell to the ground and I cut off its arms, before it had the chance to swipe at me.

I grinned as it struggled to get up. I leaned on my naginata and wagged my finger. "I don't know if you can hear me or see me, but you really gotta try harder than that to put a scratch on me. Two beasts? Tsk. For future reference, try five, ok? That might slow me down more."

I lifted my naginata and whipped it through the beasts neck, taking its head.

I dropped my head, disappointed. "Aw, is it over already?" I pouted and turned back to the path. "I wonder what else they'll try and throw at me?" I shouldered my naginata and continued down the path, humming and swaying to a tune in my head.

When I arrived at the facility, I got rid of my naginata. I looked up at the big white building. It had a big paw print with pointed ears as a symbol above the glass sliding doors.

"Has anyone else got here yet?"

The blue Pussycat shook her head, staring at me.

I frowned at her. "What? And why are you looking at me like that?"

"I told you not to underestimate her."

I bit my tongue, trying not to grin at Aizawa's words.

"I thought you were exaggerating!"

The red Pussycat came up to me and leaned to my face. I leaned back, slightly uncomfortable. "Uh, what?"

She narrowed her eyes at me. "Why did you leave your classmates?"

I smiled. "They're capable enough without me. Besides, if I was there, I would feel obligated to do it and not give them a chance to do anything. It was better for everyone if I went on alone. I kinda figured you'd want to see what everyone was capable of, right?"

She stepped back, crossing her arms. "Yes, but that was still extremely presumptuous and reckless of you."

I shifted me feet. "Sorry."

She sighed. "Still, you did get here within the time limit...Are you hungry?"

"A little."

"Come on then. We'll feed you, then wait for everyone else."
