Camp Mishap (Pt. 1)


Yamiyo stretched her arms over her head, feeling like she's had the best sleep in over a month. Although she slept on the grass, being back in the woods helped her relax and get a good night rest, but she did get a talking to from Aizawa-Sensei when he found her curled up in the middle of a field.

She smiled and stood next to Fumikage, who looked wide awake, and she watched as everyone yawned and stretched around them. She adjusted her UA track uniform, unzipping it a bit to reveal more of her collar bone.

"Good morning class. Today we begin the training camp that will increase your strength. Our goal is to increase your skill exponentially so you can get your Provisional License. This will allow you to face the dangers that continue to fester in the darkness." Yamiyo flicked Fumikage lightly and he only elbowed her in the side with a huff. "Proceed carefully. Look alive Bakugo." Aizawa-Sensei tossed Bakugo a very familiar ball, which the ashe blonde caught easily. "Try throwing that for me."

"Yeah, sure. Like in the fitness test." Bakugo stared at the ball in his hand. Yamiyo taped her foot against the ground, she just wanted to start the training already. She hadn't been able to get all the built up energy out in a while, and she was desperate to start running around and training. Although she had been training for a while, working on her strength and improving her Dark Mending quirk. She was now able to use it without being stopped so quickly from the drawback.

"That's right. When you first started school, your record was 705.2 meters. Let's see if you've improved." Bakugot turned away and started walking towards an empty area to throw the ball.

"Oh, I get it! You're checking our progress!' Mina said excitedly.

"Alots happened to us in the last three months, maybe he can throw it a whole mile now!" Sero contemplated as Bakugo stretched his arm by making big circles.

"C'mon, get it Bakugo!" Kirishima shouted not too far from Yamiyo.

"I got this." Bakugo wound up his arm. "No one blink. GO TO HELL!" Bakugo threw the ball with a large explosion. Yamiyo didn't react, after all, hearing the explosions so often didn't really hurt her ears anymore, but it still made her jump slightly.

The ball emerged from the large cloud of smoke and soared through the air, landing somewhere in the forest. Bakugo stepped forward and held his arm suspended in the air after he threw it.

"That was 709.6 meters." Yamiyo choked on her own spit.

She turned to Aizawa-Sensei who was holding up a phone, and that's what the number was. "That's it?" Kirishima sounded a little deflated. "Kinda disappointing."

"You've had a single semester at UA and due to all of your experiences, you all definitely improved. But those improvements have been limited to mental prowess and technical skill." Aizawa-Snesei stepped back in front of the group. "With a slight increase in stamina thrown in along the way." He laid his black eyes on the group. "As you can see, your quirks themselves have not improved much on a fundamental level." Yamiyo switched her weight and crossed her arms over her chest. "Thats why were now going to focus on improving your powers." A sick smile grew on his face. Yamiyo has seen it many times and she knows what it means. "This will be so hard you'll feel like your dying." he pointed a finger at them. "Let's hope you survive."


Yamiyo was on her knees, dark goop pouring from her mouth as she clutched her chest. Darkness was sprouting from her shoulders and shadows were mixing with the thicker darkness.

Aizawa-Sensei told her to work on being more tolerant to the drawback of her quirk… but she was having a very tough time.

She stopped when there was a second when she couldn't breath. The shadows she gathered scattered and went back to where they were before she disturbed them. She made sure to push all the darkness out of her body before flicking her wrist and sending it towards the trees. It would eventually change and become less solid and opaque until they were shadows.

She trembled as she hacked up her lungs, the black goop forming a puddle and staining the knees of her uniform black. She leaned forward and put her hand on the grass, keeping herself from falling into the puddle.

How the hell did I survive all those years fighting with this power without suffering like this?

Because Yukichi was told about the power's drawbacks and didn't want to risk you dying during the middle of a battle from suffocation.

Him having a heart? Impossible.

You're a hundred percent right, he was worried because he wouldn't have another person to make him money.

She scoffed and shuddered as the last of the gunk was out of her body. While she was spacing out, the puddle had grown a good amount. It stained the bandages around her hands black, the gunk clinging to them.

She breathed hard as she shakily stodd on trembling legs, almost falling over immediately. She stepped out of the puddle before falling on her butt and laying on her back, staring at the sky.

She closed her eyes and imagined what she looked like, laughing a bit.

A shadow passed over her and she opened her eyes to see Aizawa-Snesei kneeling next to her. "Get up, you're done with Dark Mending for the moment." Yamiyo groaned as she put a hand on her forehead. A beat of silence passed between the two before Aizawa-Sensei stood and offered her a hand. "Take a two minute break then join Shoji and Hagakure. I'll be waiting for you and will tell you about the next thing you are to do."

Yamiyo took his hand gratefully and he hoisted her up. She didn't have the strength to smile when he let go of her hand and his face scrunched up at the black gunk from her bandages. He wiped it on his black pants and started walking to Shoji not too far from her.

Yamiyo stared at her bandaged hands and noticed the black gunk gathering at her fingers. She pulled the bandages off and stared at the black almost completely covering every finger. She slowly started shuffling to Shoji, deciding to leave the bandages off and say that the black gunk stained her fingers if anyone asked.

As she stopped a few feet from Shoji, Aizawa-Sensei turned to her and offered her a blindfold."I want you to try and find Hagakure without your eyes." Yamiyo hesitated before taking the fabric and stepping next to Shoji.

She lifted the blindfold to her face and tied a knot behind her eyes. The red fabric obscured her vision and she closed her eyes. "I want you to try and find and or avoid hits from Hagakure with just your senses and avoid Shoji. I want you to either get Hagakure on the ground or land a hit on her. Shoji, you will try to reach Hagakure before Yamiyo, and the same thing goes for you."

"But-"

"I don't wanna hear it, start."

Yamiyo dashed to the side, away from Shoji. If she didn't want to hit or bump into Shoji, she can't be near him.

Her ears twitched as she slowly circled in place. Almost immediately, something hit her bicep and Yamiyo instantly shot her hand out. She felt her fingers catch on some hair before the feeling quickly disappeared.

Yamiyo crouched and put her hands on the ground and turned her ears and sniffed the air. When Yamiyo was getting dressed with the rest of the girls, Hagakure had put on a few spirits of perfume and Yamiyo had memorized the smell out of pure habit.

Yamiyo moved her hand over the earth and turned her ears. Hearing wouldn't be much help due to her classmates screaming and Bakugo's explosions, but she did hear an irritated huff from Shoji when Hagakure landed a punch on him.

At the same time, Yamiyo felt a slight tremble in the ground and got a whiff of perfume. She launched off her legs and swung a fist forward. She was met with nothing but air and she felt a hard jab to her side.

Yamiyo stumbled and quickly regained her footing. She growled and sniffed the air and quickly darted to her right, kicking forward.

Yamiyo continued the attacks, following Hagakure's scent. Every hit and punch Yamiyo threw, she missed and Hagakure retaliated with a jab or full blown punch. Yamiyo was starting to get frustrated and she started throwing more power behind her attacks. She was so fixated on getting Hagakure that she didn't hear or smell Shoji coming towards them.

When Yamiyo threw a punch, a hand stopped it and she smiled. She launched forward and kicked outwards, but instead of hitting Hagakure, her foot connected with a larger body. With a grunt from Shoji, she heard the male fall on the ground and Yamiyo quickly stopped.

"I'm so sorry-" A fist came in contact with Yamiyo's chin in an uppercut. Yamiyo staggered back and nearly fell backwards.

She let out a frustrated yell and shook her fists. She locked in on Hgakure's scent and dashed forward with as much speed as she could muster, throwing more punches and kicks.. As she acted, her mind drifted involuntarily.


Yamiyo was shoved into a round fighting space, a fence lining the perimeter. She stood still, a shadow over her face, as a girl with a shaved head unlocked the clasps around her neck, wrists, stomach, and ankles. The clasps connected to chains that all went to a large lock that rested in the center of her back.

The woman went ahead and removed the clasps at the back of Yamiyo's head, pulling off the bucket muzzle that covered just above her nose and ended right at the bottom of her jaw.

Once the chains and muzzle were removed, Yamiyo took a fighting stance and the woman quickly exited the ring, dragging the heavy chains with her.

"Fighters ready?!" A man clad in black called out from above the ring. A chorus of cheers rang out from the crowd watching the fight. "Fight!"

"Listen kid. I've heard a lot about you and your little title as the top fighter in the underground. So, lose for me, would ya' doll?" A large man with a gray mask that covered his mouth and nose, well, it seemed somewhat like a small version of a gas mask. He has gray hair that's shaved on one side and parted to the other side. He stood a few inches taller than Yamiyo, and he had a very strong build.

Yamiyo didn't reply, only getting lower to the ground and dashing forward with immense speed. The man's chest expanded with a deep breath and he swung his fist in a flash. This caught Yamiyo off guard as it slammed into her side and flung her into the fence.

The moment she made contact with the metal fence, electricity shocked her and locked her muscles, pain shooting through her entire body. Blue lightning cracked around her and the people in the crowd quickly backed away before the electricity could reach them. She felt the metal ring around her neck release some shock as well… as a warning, Yukichi would say. She grit her teeth and pulled away from the fence.

The electric fence was only a minor addition to the ring. As she climbed the ranks and would fight against stronger opponents, they would add more dangerous things to the ring like electrified water, metal spikes, fire, and more.

"Hmph. You don't seem strong to me. Just another person whose title was made through money." The man cackled, cracking his knuckles.

Without a word, Yamiyo dashed towards him again. She watched as the mask turned and he sucked in a large breath. He ran forward to meet her and he threw a punch towards her. She jumped and placed her hand on his knuckles as she pushed herself over his head. She turned her body and wrapped her legs around his neck.

Tightening her hold, she began racking her claws across his shoulders and upper back. She lashed out at the lands that reached for her, the claws at the end of her fingertips slashing and cutting his skin like a knife through warm butter.

He backed up and slammed her back against the electrified fence, and with a growl she jumped off of him and quickly ran back towards him.

She grabbed his stray fist and twisted it awkwardly. She proceeded to jump and press her chest and belly to his arm while jumping up and kicking his face, breaking the mask in half.

He grunted and she heaved her boy over his arm and pinned it to his back and drove her knee to his spine. She pushed off her leg and pushed him to his stomach. She dropped his arm and swung her legs from under herself and wrapped them around his rising upper form.

Once again, she had her legs wrapped tightly around his neck and she raised a hand that was more claw than hand above her head, ready to swipe it across the back of his head-


She heard a squeak and she came back to her senses. She was sitting and her legs were wrapped around someone who was pinning her legs from the knee down to the ground. Yamiyo felt her arm suspended in the air.

"Yamiyo, I already gave!" Hagakure called out, tapping Yamiyo's thigh.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Yamiyo quickly detached herself from Hagakure and she somersault backwards off of Hagakure, who quickly stood up and coughed from what Yamiyo could hear.

Yamiyo stood and pulled the blindfold off. "Oh-" She looked around and saw Shoji and Aizawa-Sensei staring at her. They just looked flat out surprised, and she couldn't see Hagakure's expression for obvious reasons, but she could assume she was staring by the feet imprints on the ground.

"How about you join Midoriya for the rest of training?" Aizawa-Sensei walked over to her with a hand out. Yamiyo put the red fabric in his outstretched hand and she looked around one last time before following his orders and heading over to where Midoriya and Tiger were.

The entire way there, she felt eyes on her back and she couldn't help but rub her exposed arms.

"Alright, before you all go to make your food, we're going to be doing something off schedule." Class 1-A groaned at this. It had been a long day, and they just wanted to eat. "Enough of that. We decided to do something about your stealth."

Shoji raised one of his hands. "Sir, is this because of Yamiyo, Hagakure, and I? After all, we were the only ones working on stealth."

Aizawa-Sensei nodded. "It is. I became aware very quickly after watching Yamiyo's movements and ability to easily deflect Hagakure's attacks even when she didn't have her sight or hearing made me think about the rest of you. Most of you have loud or flashy quirks that wouldn't work well during a stealth mission. I know most of you wouldn't be going into the stealth department, but these skills will come in handy out in the field when you're all full fledged heroes." Yamiyo tilted her head.

"Is this going to be some sort of Capture the flag?" She called out.

"Yes, and we already have the teams picked out, but we'll get to that in a second." Aizawa stared a the class before continuing. "There will be one team and they will have a flag. They have to defend the flag either until the time is up, or they end up capturing all the opposing team, who will be trying to take the flag by stealth means. I want to see you finding the Stealth team. You are permitted to use your quirks, but use them wisely. The defending team will be given red tape to use to catch the stealth team. For the stealth team to win, they have to successfully obtain the flag and bring it back to their base."

"Ah… I see. Not only is it stealth based, but teamwork is needed as well!" Iida called out.

"Right. Now," Aizawa-Sensei pulled out a clipboard, "The defending team will be Bakugo, Midoriya, Sato, Mina, Kirishima, Ojiro, Aoyama, Iida, Jiro, Kaminari, and Koda. The Stealth Team will be Yaoyorozu, Uraraka, Sero, Todoroki, Yamiyo, Mineta, Hagakure, Shoji, Tsuyu, and Tokoyami." The class split up to their teams.

Half way through, Kirishima called out while looking at the stealth team, "Hey… isn't that unfair? They have Shoji, Yamiyo and Hagakure!"

"Oh yeah! That isn't fair!" Kaminari called out, defeated.

Aizawa-Sensei glared at the boys. "It is fair, since I'm testing your stealth. You also have Jiro as well. Don't doubt your teammates abilities."

"Yes sir!" Both boys replied quickly.

Not too long after, both teams were led to their respective starting points in the forest, each getting ready and waiting quietly, as the training began.


"What do you think we get if we win?" Mineta thought aloud.

"Pride." Yamiyo and Fumikage replied simultaneously. Yamiyo smiled as she stretched her arms over her head.

"I have a plan." Yaoyorozu called the team over in a group circle. "Hagakure, Yamiyo and Tokoyami will go up ahead and scope out the other team, find out what their doing, I'll make some walkie-talkies for you three-"

"No need." Everyone looked at Tokoyami. "Dark Shadow and I can communicate through telepathic means, if he just goes ahead with them that will work better and he'll be able to help defend if they find out." Yaoyorozu nodded. Dark Shadow emerged from Fumikage's back to join in since he was now a part of the plan.

"Alright. Sero, Mineta, and Tsu will follow about halfway behin Yamiyo, Hagakure and Dark Shadow. It's very likely that Jiro will hear them coming up, so if she does, you three will be there to hold off the defenders so you all can get back. If that doesn't happen, Dark Shadow, I want you to tell Tokoyami about what you see then bring everyone back as quickly and quietly as possible." Dark Shadow gave a thumbs up. "After they get back, Mineta you…"

Hagakure clung to Yamiyo's black fur as she ran through the forest, almost completely quiet apart from a stray branch breaking. Dark Shadow was able to keep pace with Yamiyo as she ducked underneath fallen trees and jumped over rocks.

Yamiyo slowed to a jog then all together stopped behind a bush, Dark Shadow getting low to the ground as Yamiyo layed on her stomach, legs ready to spring and carry her away in an instant. Dark Shadow closed his glowing yellow eyes so he wouldn't attract any attention to them.

Hagakure cautiously slipped off of Yamiyo and she shuffled to a nearby bush, making very little sound.

Yamiyo stared at the other team. If she said they were coordinated, she would be lying.

Bakugo was yelling at Midoriya, Iida was yelling at Bakugo as well as Kirishima. Mina was straying close to the red flag and Jiro was kneeling not too far away, earphone jack in the ground.

Aoyama was just standing around. Kaminari and Sato were talking in hushed tones as they 'patrolled' around the treeline. Although it seems like they just walked around to avoid being dragged into the yelling fest with Bakugo. Koda seemed to be talking to a squirrel with Ojiro kneeling next to him.

Yamiyo quietly shifted back to her normal form and whispered to Dark Shadow. "They are a mess. Doesn't seem like they have a plan, Bakugo doesnt wanna cooperate and it's throwing the entire team off. Although this may just be part of their plan, but we can't lower our guard at all. Proceed with caution and we seem ready to go to execute the next phase." Dark Shadow stilled as he relayed the information to Fumikage before throwing her a small thumbs up.

Yamiyo motioned for Hagakure to come over to them. Which she did, but tripping over a rock she didn't spot. Hagakure landed with a grunt and Jiro's head snapped in their direction.

"Over there!" Bakugo and the other stopped fighting as he blasted his way over.

"Code red! Initiate Plan B!" Yamiyo burst from the underbrush and slammed into a mid-air Bakugo, knocking him to the ground.

"Pup?!" Yamiyo kicked Bakugo away and pulled shadows to her sides, a smile on her face. Bakugo smirked evilly and blasted over to her. Yamiyo hopped away from her teammates and allowed Bakugo to change directions and slam into her, knocking them both into the forest.

They tumbled and rolled before Yamiyo kicked Bakugo's stomach, effectively throwing him off her before they even stopped rolling. Yamiyo hopped up to her feet and narrowly avoided a blast-punch to the chest. She grabbed Bakugo's arm and pulled him to the ground. She pressed her foot to his shoulder blade and held his arm in the air.

"Cheap move." He growled, firing off an explosion from the arm Yamiyo was gripping. She quickly let go and hopped off.

Bakugo jumped to his feet and charged Yamiyo with a smirk on his face. Yamiyo ducked and avoided a hit to the head, but couldn't avoid a kick to the gut.

She stumbled back and wrapped her hand around Bakugo's outstretched hand. She jerked his hand to the side and grabbed the front of his UA jacket with her right hand, and pressed her left forearm right below his ribs and slammed him against the nearest tree, which was pretty wide.

They stared at each other for a second before Yamiyo jumped back and held her fists up. Bakugo made a move to chase after her, but he couldn't move. Something stuck his back to the tree, a small round purple thing at that.

"Sero, Mineta, Tsu! Now!" Yamiyo called. The boys lept from the undergrowth and Sero quickly went to work and tapped Bakugo to the tree while Mineta covered the tree and ground around it with Pop-Off.

"YOU-" Sero slapped a strip of tape over Bakugo's mouth. Tsu jumped from a nearby tree and landed in front of Bakugo. With slime secreting from her arm, she quickly slapped it over Bakugo's hands, effectively stopping the explosions from appearing… for now.

"Sorry Sparky. All is fair in love and war." Yamiyo smirked as Dark Shadow flew towards the group and wrapped his large claws around them.

Without a second to spare, Dark Shadow zooms back into the forest with the group in his claws, leaving a thrashing Bakugo stuck to the tree. Just as they got away from the area, Yamiyo saw a flash of green before Midorita abruptly stopped, feet stuck in Mineta's Quirk. He doubled over and fell to his knees, getting more stuck.

"You ok?" Dark shadow whispered in Yamiyo's nodded and gave a thumbs up.

As they broke from the treeline, they already saw Yaoyozu jogging towards them. Dark Shadow let go of the group.

"Is Bakugo down for the count?" Yamiyo shook some grass from her hair and nodded.

"Yeah, but he didn't have any red tape on him. I doubt he'll be down for much longer." Yaoyorozu nodded and let them back over to where Todoroki, Tokoyami, and Uraraka were working with a large net, attempting to get it in the air. Todoroki had made four pillars of ice and hammered the ends of the net into them, letting the middle dip in the center of the pillars. Shoji was not too far, some of his dupli arms turning into ears and eyes as he scouted the area.

"This should be good." Yaoyorozu pulled Uraraka aside. "Make Mineta float. Dark Shadow, I want you to hold onto him at the top. Mineta fill the net as much as you can."

As the three did what they were told, Yamiyo stepped back towards the forest's edge. Her ears perked up as she kept scout, watching out for anyone trying to attack them.

Anything?

Can't tell. Lemmie out.

Are you sure-

Cut me some slack. I apologized-

Really?

Sorta. Now, lemmie out.

I can't. You're not Dark Shadow- and you're not a quirk either.

Who says I'm not?

You're a mental guard for me. You literally appeared right after the worst beatings. It's impossible to gain a quirk years after the age of four.

Pay Attention.

Yamiyo recollected herself and turned to check the progress. The net was nearly filled with Pop-Off and Mineta's scalp was bleeding. She could smell the blood in the slight breeze, and even saw a bit on the purple balls in the net. Nevertheless, Mineta kept throwing his quirk into the net, Dark Shadow holding him by his waist.

Her eyes snapped over to Shoji who quickly turned to look at her before he started running towards her. "Yamiyo! Look out!"

"1.3 Million volts!" Liquid fire ran through Yamiyo's body, she couldn't help but scream as she felt her muscles spasm and go rigid under her skin. She could barely see the yellow lightning before darkness crawled over her eyes. She could faintly hear Yami cursing loudly in her mind as she lost feeling in her limbs.

She could almost feel the metal collar around her neck, feeding lightning into her body whenever she screwed up or nearly lost a fight.


A six or seven year old girl thrashed and screamed on the ground. Her claws scraped against the metal around her neck as it sent waves of shocks through her body. She could feel major migraines forming at her temples.

Her screams only grew louder as Yukichi upped the voltage. His thumb moving up slightly on the small device. Yamiyo rolled onto her back and arched upwards. Tears flying from her eyes, she scratched at her neck, causing little cuts as they missed their intended target.

She watched through the tears as Yukichi kneeled beside her, his blank eyes burning through her skull. "Take this as a lesson. You know what you did, right?" She couldn't manage a nod. "You conspired against me, talked back, and even tried bribing the door-boy to let you out. Shall I continue?" Her loudened screams were enough as an answer.

Yukichi huffed and walked towards the door. He stopped and looked over his shoulder at Yamiyo writhing in pain. He smirked and held the remote by two fingers. "If you want the pain to end, you gotta work for it." He cackled as he tossed the remote in the corner of the room, about ten feet away from Yamiyo.

"W-wait! N-NO!" Yamiyo screamed as Yukichi laughed and stepped out of the room, slamming the door and locking it.

Yamiyo cried as she crawled along the floor. Her vision started to blur and black inked the edges of her vision. She desperately pulled herself along the concrete, reaching for the remote that only seemed farther and farther-


Yamiyo gasped as she fell to her knees and hands. She heard a loud crack behind her but didn't have the energy to look behind her.

"Yamiyo!" Arms scooped her up and she could make out Shoji's form through slightly blurry eyes. Her senses started to quickly come back and the pain was slowly ebbing away. She mumbled a small 'Thank You' as Shoji jogged over to the rest of the team with Yamiyo.

"We have to act now. The other team may not be far behind." Yaoyorozu instructed. "Uraraka, start phase 3!" Yamiyo gently put down and she slowly lowered herself to the ground. She could smell Yaoyorozu in front of her before her hands gently gripped her shoulders.

"I want to help…" Yamiyo slowly mumbled, trying to get onto her feet.

"You are, but you'll be changing positions with Tokoyami. Dark Shadow can cut the net and you'll help me, Hagakure, Todoroki, Shoji, and Tsu with the ground distraction. Other than that, nothing is changing." Yamiyo nodded and finally got to her feet. Her vision cleared and she started coming back to her senses after the attack.

"Alright. Uraraka, Sero, Tokoyami, Mineta! You three will take-off after we're out of your line of sight, but don't unload until you see us engaging the defending team." Yaoyorozu waved over Todoroki and Tsu. Yamyio could smell Hagakure from somewhere behind them, her perfume easy to catch as it was unnatural in a forest setting.

"Alright!"

"Aye aye!"

"Okay!"

"You got it!"

After some debate, Yamiyo was piggy-backing on Shoji with a slight red to her cheeks. His arms formed something similar to a basket as his arms bent back and wrapped around Yamiyo to keep her in place.

"I can seriously move by myself.." Yamiyo mumbled, shimming further up so she could get a better look around Shoji's head.

"I don't want to take any chances. You looked too pale when you came to- and your hands are still trembling. It would be better if you get at least another minute of rest time before you jump right back into fighting." Yaoyorozu reasoned. Her arms lit up in a pastel pink and blue as she pulled out two metal poles from her arms.

Yamiyo huffed lightly and stared right up ahead. She scanned the area before deeming it free of anyone else. "I don't see or hear anything. They may be re-grouping.."

"I agree. After Kaminari's attack, I haven't caught any movement." Yaoyorozu nodded and looked back one more time.

She froze for a second and Yamiyo cought on right away. "Hey." Yaoyorozu turned to look at her. "It's your plan. We got this in the bag."

Yaoyorozu nodded and looked back towards the forest. "Alright… let's go!"

And they were off. True to the plan, the air team took off right when they could no longer see their classmates.

"DAMNIT!" Bakugo shouted.

After his encounter with Yamiyo not too long ago, he was fuming.

It took his teammates a bit to unfree him and Midoriya from Mineta's quirk, and just from that alone they wasted a large chunk of time. Saying they were prepared would be a lie.

Bakugo was just as mad as he was earlier and he didn't cooperate. There's a good chance he wouldn't cooperate for the rest of the exercise.

"Bakugo! We do not have time for this! We need a plan, the stealth team most likely has one by now and is most likely acting on it!" Iida barked.

Bakugo glared at him. "I don't need a damn plan!" He sneered, "I can beat them all on my own!" Bakugo stomped off, a dark glare on his face.

"I hope Kaminari's alright." Midoriya mumbled.

"Weren't you the one who sent him out?" Ojiro pointed out.

"Y-yeah! B-but-"

"I know. I'm just trying to lighten the mood." Ojiro patted him on the shoulder as he walked by before jogging over to where Kirishima and Sato were walking. After Kaminari left, the duo had taken scouting more seriously and were carefully watching the trees.

The entire defending team was tense.

They were going in blind and had no clue about what the other team was up to. Because Bakugo wouldn't cooperate and only yelled, it was hard for them to focus and pay enough attention to form a plan. It wouldn't help if they were able to make a plan because half of the team would be trying to calm down Bakugo or stop him from yelling.

Although they couldn't make a plan, they were given roles. Koda, Sato, Kirishima, and Jiro would be on lookout for any movements while Mina, Midoriya, and Ojiro were supposed to be guarding the flag. Iida and Kaminari were chosen to run out and do a perimeter check around the area or try to spy on the other team to report back. Bakugo really just did what he wanted, which was to stalk around the area or hang out by the metal pole with the red flag they were supposed to be protecting.

They were all counting down the minutes until Aizawa would call off the exercise. But the only problem was that Aizawa didn't give them a time limit, so they could go for all night or right until the Stealth team grabbed the flag and brought it back to their assigned area.

Midoriya watched Iida speed off into the forest, the engines on his calves bursting to life. He turned to Mina who was sitting and playing with the long red fabric, but Midoriya could see that she was alert and would stare around them every so often before turning back to the flag.

Midoriya had a bad feeling in his gut the moment Kaminari had been gone for a while. He didn't exactly know how long it was, but it felt like hours. Only about five or six minutes ago, he saw some of Kaminari's yellow lightning peeking over the trees.

When they had seen that, Iida was sent out to retrieve Kaminari but came back very quickly and empty handed. Apparently, Iida was unable to find the blonde on his way back or anywhere near the area at all.

A chill went down Midoriya's spine. It felt like something or someone was watching him. And apparently he wasn't the only one feeling it.

"Hey, do you guys feel that?" Jiro called out. She lifted her head a bit, her earphone jacks still plugged into the ground. Her eyebrows furrowed when her teammates nodded.

"Ah! Where are they!" Mina hopped to her feet and ran over to the trees. In a small area, the grass looked disheveled and some dirt had been dug up. "They were right here a moment ago!"

"Who?" Midoriya took a few steps away from the flag.

"Sato, Kirishima, and Ojiro! I turned away for a second and they were gone!" Mina leaned forward and peeked into the woods.

She let out a shout before turning on her heel sharply and running away from the forest only to have Kirishima launched from the trees and land right on top of her. They rolled along the ground before they stopped and were a groaning heap on the ground.

"They're here!" Kirishima shouted, hopping onto his feet and crossing his arms like an X over his chest. They raised lightly when he activated his quirk and they hardened.

Ojiro and Sato came flying out of the trees, tumbling and rolling along the ground. "Your damn right we're here."

Yamiyo stepped out of the trees wiping a slightly bleeding lip. Her face contorted into a sinister smile as a small shadow fell over her face. "And you better pray to whichever god you believe in because I'm not leaving here until I beat the crap out of every single one of you."


After Yamiyo's signal, the rest of her teammates came barreling from the trees. Todoroki on a wave of ice, Tsu swinging in on a vine, Yaoyorozu running in with two poles, and Shoji with his arms wide open.

Yamiyo immediately locked onto Midoriya and moved her hands erratically. She found that using her hands and body to command the shadows and darkness helped her keep a better control over them.

Midoriya's shadow turned on him as it crawled up his legs and rooted him to the ground. He grunted and green lightning danced around his body-

CRACK

Midoirya's whole body twisted to the side almost instantly after Yamiyo's knee connected with his jaw. "Tsu! Now!" Yamiyo landed on her feet and ran after the closest people, being Kirishima and Mina.

"Ribbit!" Tsu let go of the vine and opened her mouth, her long tongue shooting out and wrapping around Midoriya's middle. Tsu then twisted mid-air and lifted Midoriya off the ground and threw him in the direction of the trees.

Yamiyo charged towards Kirishima, shadows gathering around her fists. She didn't even get 15ft away from Kirishima when Bakugo slammed into her, knocking her off her feet.

"Ack-" Yamiyo tucked into herself and landed into a roll as she hit the ground. She ended up on her stomach, the grass lightly scratching against her face. She took a second before hopping onto her feet.

Almost immediately she had to bend backwards to avoid Bakugo's hand and an explosion. She reached up and grabbed his wrist, but he was quick. Bakugo blew an explosion from his free hand and shot both of them back.

Bakugo flew over her head and Yamiyo kept a hold on his wrist, determined to not let go if she wanted to be beaten. She was yet again on her back, but this time she wasted no time getting back onto her feet. The first thing she did was grab Bakugo's bicep and pull him above and over her, slamming Bakugo to the ground.

Yamiyo let go of Bakugo and jumped over him, running over to Yaoyrozu who was taking on Mina and Kirishima. Without a second though, Yamiyo ran towards Mina.

Getting a small jump in, Yamiyo body slammed into Mina, knocking the girl clean off her feet and sending her flying. Yamiyo caught herself and pushed off a leg past Yaoyorozu and towards Kirishima.

"Ha!" Yamiyo swung her shadow covered claws, scratching against Kirishima's hardened arms. She swung upwards and Kirishima brought both his arms up to block, leaving his middle unprotected. Yamiyo shifted her weight and kicked Kirishima square in the chest, knocking him back a few feet. She felt the bandages around her hand's rip and fall off.

Yamiyo backed up and pressed her back against Yaoyorozu's. "Are they here?"

Yamiyo looked towards the treeline and saw Dark Shadow waving both his arms and pointing to the net. They were close to the treeline and thanks to them distracting the defending team, they didn't seem to have taken any notice of them yet. "Almost, their right over the treeline… now!"

Yamiyo sprinted forward and aimed a kick for Kirishima, which he blocked. Yamiyo flew past him and charged to meet Bakugo who was launching himself over with explosions.

Since Tsu had thrown Midoriya into the trees, she hadn't seen the greenette. Well, she wished she didn't see him.

"Augh!" A green blur flashed in her peripheral vision just a millisecond before she felt a hard punch to her side. She was thrown through the air.

She felt the cold first.

Todoroki wrapped his arms around her and steered them away from a shouting Bakugo. "Group up!" Todoroki called out, carrying them both towards the middle of the open area.

As Yamio caught her breath, she watched Shoji, Yaoyorozu and Tsu come running over. Or, in Tsu's case, hopping over. Yamiyo saw the indent's in the grass indicating that Hagakure was coming over as well.

Todoroki put Yamiyo down and hopped off the icewave he stopped creating. The group gathered in a circle, backs together. Yamiyo stared at the opposing team, as they re-collected themselves and charged them. For the plan to go off smoothly, the other team just needed to get a little closer…

Yamiyo watched as Bakugo came blasting himself over. She stepped forward slightly and made a ball of darkness in her hand. She reared back and threw her arm forward, the ball of darkness shooting towards Bakugo and nailing him in the face."Now Todoroki!"

"Got it!" Todoroki took a quick step forward and shifted his right foot, ice quickly spreading across the ground. He raised his right hand and the ice shot upwards all around them.

Once the ice was finished, it became a dome keeping the people inside safe. For a second, nothing happened. Then they saw small purple splotches on the top of the dome and all around it, almost making another cover on the outside.

"AHHH!" Mina screeched as what they could assume, she got covered in Mineta's quirk. Quickly, they heard more shouts of surprise with a few swear words thrown into the mix thanks to Bakugo.

"Are we clear?" Hagakure wondered aloud, her teeth chattering.

"Wait." Yamiyo snapped.

It was only a few more moments before they saw a shadow on the outside of the dome and a large shadowy claw break through the icedome. "Yamiyo, go!"

Without waiting a second, Yamiyo shifted. The dark stripe in her hair expanding and black fur sprouting all over her body followed by some cracking and popping.

What the defending team saw next was Dark Shadow pulling out of the dome with a large black wolf on his claws. "GO!" Dark Shadow reared back and threw Yamiyo towards the flag.

Bracing for the impact, Yamiyo leaned forward and brought her two front paws in front of her, keeping her back paws together. Once she touched down, she shot towards the flag and closed her jaws around the metal pole.

Quickly changing direction, Yamiyo decided in a split second to go around the perimeter of the area to avoid getting stuck in the trap they set.

Yamiyo wasn't surprised when she felt someone land on her broad back and grip the fur at the nape of her neck lightly. She watched as Dark Shadow flew from above her and ended up a little ahead of her, providing a second pair of eyes as they entered the forest and began the finishing stretch.

We haven't seen Iida yet…

He may be around, keep your head up.

Yamiyo found something calming about running through the forest, calling it her animal instincts, but it felt… right. She always loved nature and would frequently go to the park during her jog to climb a tree and sit in it's branches, watching the leaves sway to the breeze.

Running along the forest floor, she seemed to be more hyper aware of her surroundings. How the bushes rustled because of a stray squirrel or rabbit, the small holes in trees that conceal bird nests, the hawk that just flew over her head, the navy blue spot behind the tree-

Eh?

"Recipro… Burst!" Yamiyo abruptly stopped and jumped back, almost flinging Fumikage off her back. Yamiyo stared down at him, the blue fire(?) coming out of Iida's calf engines.

Yamiyo stood on her hind legs, Iida's foot barely grazing her underbelly. She staggered backwards and would have fallen onto her back if Dark Shadow didn't catch her and push her back onto all fours.

Yamiyo growled loudly, her snout scrunching up as the sound erupted from her throat. A bit of spit dribbled from her jaws from the pole being tightly clamped on in her teeth. Iida didn't look fazed as he charged, almost a blue in Yamiyo's eyes.

"Dark Shadow!"

"On it!" The sentient shadow readed his claw and shot forward to meet with Iida. The blue haired boy narrowly avoided one of Dark Shadow's attacks, but was able to dodge by going onto his knees and sliding under the belly of the shadow.

Copycat!

Yamiyo growled and jumped to the side, dodging another one of Iida's attacks. She landed and slinked into the trees, Dark Shadow quickly darting after her. Iida stared after her and charged to where she had hid, only to see Fumikage running out of the foliage right towards him.

With Dark Shadow shooting from his chest, Fumikage rushed Iida. Dark Shadow shot forward and swung both his claws, clipping Iida's shoulder as he dodged.

Iida avoided another one of Dark Shadows attacks as he grabbed Fumikage and slammed him to the ground in one swift movement. Fumikage grunted when he hit the ground and rolled away, narrowly dodging Iida's shoe as the tall boy stomped down.

In a blur, Iida was hit behind the knee and in the back of the head with a pole. Someone stomped on his back and he fell to his hands and knees. The attacker put more pressure onto his back, forcing him to fall onto his stomach.

Iida squinted up and saw Yamiyo holding the flagpole like a staff, a dark snarl etched onto her face. Yamiyo looked away from Iida and nodded towards Fumikage, who nodded back to her.

She stepped off Iida and spun on her heel, sprinting towards her 'base' as it wasn't too far from her.

It was only another minute or so before Aizawa-Sensei called off the drill.


Yamiyo sat at one of the tables, rubbing her sore legs as she watched everyone cook. She wasn't left out, in fact she wanted to help. But… there was one huge problem… she couldn't cook. Like, at all.

"Hey! Yamiyo!" She looked up to see Sero trying to wave her over. "We could use some help over here!" Yamiyo shook her head.

"I burn everything I try to cook. If you leave me five minutes with the food, it would have gone bad someway. Even if I barely touch it, I'll do something wrong." She called back.

Fumikage nodded next to Sero. "It's true. I tried teaching her, but nothing worked. Some people just don't have the talent for specific things." Fumikage flashed her a small smirk.

"Well, excuuuse me if I'm cursed and destined to burn literally everything I cook!" Yamiyo retorted playfully, crossing her arms with a pout. It took every fiber of her being to keep herself from smiling.

Dark Shadow snickered behind Fumikage, who was swatting at him and scolding him for distracting them while they cooked. Yamiyo laughed slightly and turned to press her back against the table's edge.

Someones coming~

Eh?

Yamiyo did not like the teasing tone in Yami's disembodied voice. Yamiyo looked around in front of her before tilting her head back and letting it thunk against the table. She watched, upside down, as Bakugo walked over with a sort of neutral face.

"Oi Pup, get up. You're helping." Yamiyo quirked a brow and stared at Bakugo as he stopped walking once he was across the table from her.

"Did you not hear that entire exchange? I can't cook." Bakugo glared at her before he placed his hand on the table then his foot on the seat. He hopped over and landed to her left.

He roughly grabbed her wrist and hauled her onto her feet and started dragging her over to Sero and Fumikage. "I don't give a damn. You're not sitting out while we do all the dirty work. The least you can do is help chop the vegetables."

She wasn't paying attention to his voice, instead she was very keen on staring at the hand clamped around her wrist.

It wasn't a tight grip that he had used to pull her to her feet, instead he was just leading her now. She was more than capable of pulling her wrist out of his grasp..

… but she didn't. His hand was almost gentle and reassuring around her wrist, although it could've just been her imagination.

Other than Fumikage, the last person she could think of who was that gentle with her…

...was Kage.

Although he was a total asshole the last few months of their relationship… before he changed.. he was perfect. She loved him.

Kage would always be gentle with her and… he had made her feel… normal. For the first time in a while, he was one of the first people to help her recognize that she wasn't ugly for the scars she had, instead he had called them 'Battle Wounds.' There were a few instances that he would say that he was jealous because her scars meant that she would always be stronger than him.

When she was with him… Yami would be able to relax and not always be ready to come out and protect Yamiyo from anything that made her scared, uncomfortable, anxious, or unsafe because… Kage made her feel safe and loved.

She even shared her first kiss with him.

Those were the reasons why she stayed with him even after he suddenly became abusive. She hoped that he would change back the same way he became violent.. But he never did.

She still doesn't understand why he changed… it was like a switch was flipped in his brain. The day before he was as loving as ever and made the day perfect. But… the next day, on Valentine's Day, he suddenly became controlling and violent the moment she saw him come back from the store.

In reality… she missed that.

She missed all the fun dates, full nighters watching movies and cuddling under blankets, and she finally felt that she could fully trust someone aside from Fumikage. She wanted to be with someone she could trust and love.

She thought back and she felt a pang in her chest to find that Yami and Aneko were right about her feelings… although… she wasn't sure if she could handle going through that again… she didn't wanna risk getting herself hurt because of her feelings again-

"Oi… you okay?" She didn't even realize her eyes started tearing up. She looked back up at Bakugo. He had long let go of her wrist when he turned and saw her eyes glazed over.

She looked up at him and wiped the tears from her eyes. She nodded and gave the most genuine smile she could. "I'm alright."

Bakugo narrowed his eyes slightly but didn't say anything when he turned and continued walking over to the food cutting station.

Yamiyo took a deep breath and quickly went to his side. They walked close enough that their elbows brushed lightly.

"You do know how to use a knife, right?" Yamiyo stared at Bakugo.

"Which way? Attack or cooking- no I'm kidding." Yamiy laughed when Bakugo stared at her for a second, almost horrified before he glared at her and wacked her over the head.

She laughed a bit as she stood next to him and watched him quickly chop up vegetables. With a knife in her right hand and using her left to hold down the carrot, Yamiyo mimics his movements, only to have him quickly grab her wrists. The action leading her to drop the knife. "What are you doing?!"

"I'm doing what you're doing!" She retorts, pouting.

Bakugo shook his head and threw her hands down as he grabbed his knife and waited until she was watching. She watched as his fingers moved down the carrot as he sliced, the knife getting close, but not as close as they were to her fingers. If she had moved the knife a millimeter closer to her fingers, she would've cut herself.

Yamiyo's mouth formed an 'O' before she picked up the knife and, again, copied his movements. Bakugo telling her what to do and stopping her when the knife came too close to her fingers.

She smiled when she got through three carrots. They weren't pretty, but hey, at least they were cut. As she continued, she started to get the rhythm of it and started getting faster and faster. Although she would probably never be as fast as Bakugo, she was cutting carrots at a faster pace and the cuts were getting cleaner and less… awkward looking.

"Surprise surprise." Yamiyo said after they had been cutting vegetables in a long silence.

Bakugo stared at her, his hands still moving extremely quickly while cutting the carrots. "Hah? What are you droning on about?"

Yamiyo rolled her eyes and stopped cutting the carrots as she turned to look at him with a playful smile on her lips. "You're not a bad teacher. That's kinda surprising me." Yamiyo laughed as Bakugo glared at her and whacked her upside the head for the second time in an hour.

"Of course I am! I don't half-ass anything!" Bakugo snarled. Yamiyo smiled and turned back to cutting the vegetables in front of her.

Not too far away, Mina and Hagakure were squealing and pointing to the pair cutting vegetables.


"Eh… it's not too bad. I've definitely had worse." Yamiyo mumbled as she scooped the curry into her mouth.

They had finished cooking the curry together, while Yamiyo mainly focused on cutting the vegetables as Bakugo had to go help with the cooking because, apparently, they weren't 'cooking it right'.

Although it took a bit, they were able to finally get the food done and cooked and it wasn't half bad. Even if it was, Yamiyo would scarf it down anyway, she was starving.

"Hey, Yamiyo." She looked up to stare at Sero across from her. Fumikage also looked at Sero from beside Yamiyo, but he didn't lift his head.

"Yeah?"

"I've been wondering… since your part wolf, what role would you have in a pack-"

"Alpha."

"Alpha."

"Alpha."

Yamiyo let out a bark of laughter and stared at a dumbfounded Sero. Herself along with Fumikage and Dark Shadow had said the same thing at exactly the same time. "What? Is it that hard to tell?" Yamiyo laughed. "My mom was an Alpha as well."

Sero shook his head. "I didn't- I thought Alphas just mate with the other wolves to get more pups."

Jiro jumped from her chair a second time and socked Sero in the jaw. "Take that back!"

"EH?!" Sero leaned away from Jiro and rubbed his very bruised chin. It was his second time getting punched in the span of five minutes.

Fumikage patted Yamiyo on the back as she lay with her face flat on the table, arms over her head. "God, you're such an idiot." Yamiyo spat as she looked up and stared at Sero.

"What?!"

"Alphas don't mate with the pack! They have an Alpha female or male who helps run the pack! They're the leaders and basically run everything and plan everything out! That's basically all they do, and yes they do mate sometimes." Yamiyo sat up and rubbed the bridge of her nose.

"OH!" Bakugo smacked Sero upside the head.

"Hey Yamiyo. Since you seem to know so much about wolf rankings, what do they all mean?" Jiro piped up, a spoon hovering in front of her mouth.

(Due to many different pieces of information in articles, I wasn't sure what information was true. But if you know for a fact what each role is, feel free to correct me if anything is wrong)

Yamiyo stared at her bowl. "Hmm… well, it goes in order as Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Omega. There are other rankings, but it depends on what source you get information from as well as the pack. Alphas, as you know, are the pack leaders and have complete control over the pack. Betas or like… the 'second in command' right below the Alphas. If the Alpha has to leave for any reason, the Beta immediately takes command and makes sure the pack is organized and under control. If anything bad happens, they are required to report to the Alpha and let them take control-"

"Like Iida?" Sero interrupted.

Yamiyo thought about it for a moment. "Sorta? Anyway, Delta's are the 'third in command'. They are below the Alphas and Deltas, but they are 'higher up' in the rankings. They are usually in charge of the training or sparring when the Deltas or Alphas are too busy too. Then finally, there's the Omega. You could say… they're the 'losers' and have no power whatsoever. They usually babysit the pups and never participate in hunting. They're always the last to eat in the pack." Yamiyo concluded, taking a few bites of curry.

"You really know a lot, huh?" Yamiyo nodded towards Jiro.

"My mom taught me everything I know relating to wolves from the rankings right down to basic anatomy. Well, I kinda have to know the basic anatomy so my organs can move to the right places, although they don't change to a wolves internal organs." Yamiyo stared at Sero. She could see in his face that he was going to ask another stupid question.

Instead… someone else did.

"Since you're part wolf, do you go into heat?" Mineta asked from the end of the table.

Fumikage glared darkly at the little pervert, dropping his spoon into the bowl with a clang. Dark Shadow emerged from his back, around double his normal size. The entire table stopped eating and stared at him, most glaring daggers. Fumikage and Bakugo were wearing the scariest glares out of everyone in the table.

Yamiyo was beat red and a shadow fell over her face. She gripped the edge of her bowl and stood up, multiple pairs of eyes watching her movements carefully.

Yamiyo growled and chucked her bowl of hot curry at Mineta. The dish shattered the moment it hit his head and he was drenched in hot curry, pieces of the broken plate were stuck in the purple balls on top of his head.

He was up instantly and jumping around, almost seeming like he was dancing as he was fanning himself. "Hot hot hot hot hot!" He cried.

"Yamiyo!" Iida stood from his seat, his arms chopping the air. "You don't throw bowls of hot food at classmates! Apologize immediately!"

"No. He doesn't deserve it. And for your information!" Yamiyo turned and watched Mineta run in a circle. "I don't go into heat. Even in my wolf form, that can never happen." She sat down with a huff and slammed her face into the table.

For a good while, nobody talked to Yamiyo so she could re-collect herself and enter the conversations bouncing around the table. For the rest of the night right up until they all fell asleep, nobody mentioned anything about wolves.


"UGH! Will you all shut up?!" A girl shouted. Her dark cloud-like hair flashed with lightning for a moment.

"Now now Nari, no need to get all riled up." Kage had his arms behind his head as he stared at the forest below them.

"STOP CALLING ME NARI!" Nariko shouted as she stomped over to him, only to be tugged back by a man with large lips and brown hair, sunglasses over his eyes.

"Imbeciles." A large man walked past them slowly, lightly tapping his foot every now and then. The gashes over his eyes were being covered by a visor that was currently switched off.

"When will we attack?" Yukichi walked up beside a black haired man covered in purple scars.

"When two more members join us. The plan is attacking tomorrow." Dabi physically had to slightly raise his head to look at the man.

Yukichi stared over the trees and a sick smile rose to his face. "Good. I can't wait to take back what's rightfully mine." He pulled his hand out of his pocket and rubbed a small gold device with his thumb. His thumb felt over the slightly raised symbol on the surface.

His pointer and middle finger rubbed over the switch on the back which would immediately start heating up the design on the front to a searing heat.

"After all… she's my only way of getting my money back."


Whew! This was a REALLY long one!

I have a quick announcement, so please read this as it affects this fanfic!

I will be putting this on a temporary pause! I want to re-write the first few chapters as I think they're very rushed and I could do a lot better with them. There may be a few other chapters that I may rewrite as well.

If a chapter is re-written, it will have a * next to its title. For example:

Memories*

So, just a heads up! I will occasionally work on the next chapter, but it will not be my main priority. When the chapters are re-written, I suggest you read them as I may change or add a few little things. But mostly, they will just be a lot better!

Also, Yamiyo's second quirk is supposed to be called Dark Mending as it's a better fit since she also creates darkness. That's a major fault on my part, and I apologize. I will try to fix this error in all of the chapters when the name is mentioned.

That's all I had to say! This link below will show what the symbol looks like, but if you don't want to open the link, it's an S that has a Y fused into the center.

Thank you for reading this, and I'm sorry about the pause in the story!
