Life in a Superhuman Society

by Nature Kiddo

A story about a kid who was homeschooled for most of his life now entering UA high school. With no social skills, a low self-esteem, and a hit or miss quirk. Reality can be cruel but it can be beautiful sometimes.

3. More and more Drama

When explain everything in first person, it usually means I'm going into more a depth to what someone is thinking.

---

I was a bit bashful, I never been to someone's house at my age. Not only that but that someone is a girl who was originally a delinquent. That girl is indirectly the reason I'm getting beat up. No, it ain't her fault. I just need to keep myself away from her. After school, we walked home together like always. I glance at her with a concern stare. "Hey, I don't think I can study and train with you today."

She perked her head over to me, furrowing her eyebrows. "Oh wow new kid, it was just 20 minutes ago that we agreed on studying together."

I for some reason blushed at the thought that she was mad because I wanted to get away. I didn't like her that way and obviously she felt the same way but still, I just felt special. "Sorry Sukia...I'm just gotta do something else."

She smacked her lips and went back looking forward. "We're studying if you like it or not."

My blushing immediately when she said that. "What do you mean?"

Sukia look back at me, grinning mischievously at me. "If you don't come, I'll tell your parents that you skip half of the day in school."

I heard glass in the background. She had me in the tight spot and she knew it! Buru tried to defend me by saying. "That's really mean Sukia. He must've had a reason to do so."

"Buru, you know damn well I don't care." She replied bluntly. "Besides, what type of dork doesn't want to go in a pretty girl house. Tell me that Inuko." She teased.

"I don't see any pretty girl." I muttered while walking up our apartment stairs.

I got punched in the shoulder because of it. "I'll pay you back loser!"

I sighed. "Fine...see you later."

After a small minute of changing clothes, I knocked on her door. It only took a few seconds for her to answer the door. It wasn't Sukia though, it was a much older woman with brunette hair. "May I help you?" The women asked me.

"Wow, she's pretty." I blushed. I shook my head. "Um! I'm suppose to study with Sukia."

The women look back, calling her daughter's name. "Sukia! Some boy is out here to see you."

"Let him in mom." Sukia said.

She let me in. I look around to see their well-organized house. Sukia was waiting for me at the dinner table with her utensils and books out. I walk over to seat next to her. "So let's us start...where do we start?" I asked. I didn't know what we were walking on since I missed half of the day. Sukia got out extra homework sheets from classes I missed.

Before we could start, Sukia mother: Sasukia Kaiyo, came over to us. "You aren't going to introduce me to your friend?"

"Oh, he's the new kid in my school and my partner for the entire month." Sukia nudged my shoulder. "Tell her your name, loser."

"O-oh!" I perked my head up over to Sasukia. "My name is Inuko Suteki, n-nice to meet you, Kaiyo-san."

"Don't be so formal Inuko, call me Sasu-chan!~"

Sukia saw how much I was enjoying her mother's attention from just my red face and happy purring. "Okay mom, you can leave us to study now."

Sasukia laughed before going to living room. "Sorry!~"

"Phooey." I muttered, I still couldn't help to smile in delight as I unpacked my supplies on her kitchen table.

Sukia glared at me. "Why are you smiling?"

We both took our seat with Sukia still glaring at me, waiting for an answer. "Well?"

"Y-your m-mom..."

"Yeah." She clutched her fist, waiting to break my teeth.

"Is really nice!" I said.

"Oh, hehehe." She chuckled nervously.

We started our homework in silence, I was a bit frightened by the fact that Gehimasu would find me here and beaten me up worse than before. But how worst could it get? He and his friends nearly killed me last time. Sukia noticed that I was pausing with my work, sweating intensely. "Are you okay Inuko?" She asked me, placing her hand on my forehead. I skipped away immediately but it cause me to fall out of my seat. "Geez dude, are you having a fever?"

"No! I'm not! Just- just- nervous."

"You still aren't comfortable with me?"

"Y-yes! I n-need to go." I got up and start packing up my stuff but she stopped me by grabbing my arm.

"You remember what I said, right?"

She remained me of my incident. I really didn't have a choice did I? I felt like crying in the corner now. "Here." She handed me my backpack and start leading me to her room.

I blushed and start pulling away. "Nonono! I don't want to come in your room, woof!"

It was too late, she thrown me into her room and lock the door. Was she serious? I was kind of getting pissed that she was doing this to me. "What do you want?"

"I want to hang out. I can't hang out with you?"

"You're...you are forcing me to stay." My voice cracked.

I sounded like I was going to cry to the point she came at me. Instead of making fun of me, she caresses my cheek. Having some animals instincts, a purring noise escaped from me. She must've found out I was really hurting inside. "Tell me what's wrong..."

"N-nothing..."

"You're lying. You were so happy to train with me and then after school, you suddenly wanna get away from me. Is something bothering you?"

I started to tear up, shaking my head no. She just to wipe them away to show comfort. "I won't make fun of you if you do."

I mustered up the courage to do so since she said she wasn't but I didn't speak on it clearly. "I just don't feel comfortable in school."

"Is someone bullying you?"

I didn't say anything but that only confirm her assumption right. She took her hand away from my cheek and gave me a serious stare. "Show me him tomorrow."

"W-what?"

"The one is bullying you. I'll beat him up for you."

Was she serious? Would she really go out of her way just to beat up someone for me, a person she just met a few days ago. It felt heartwarming but very embarrassing at the same time. I wiped away the tears despite them returning. "No...don't do that..."

"Then do something about it!" She pushed me out of frustration. I just lowered my head and accepted it, she pushed me again...trying to get a reaction from me. "Don't be a...sidewalk!"

I fell back against her dresser when she punched me straight in the jaw. It hurts but I know she meant good. Before I could get up, she mounted me, just ruthlessly punching me in the face. "Come on! Don't!" She slammed her fist into my nose that cause me grunt. "Be!" This time, she hit me in the jaw. "A SIDEWALK!" She hit me hard again. Sukia stopped when she realized that I was bleeding and almost unconscious. "Oh shit...Inuko, are you okay?"

I was groaning in pain. "Sukia, mom is wondering if you're okay?" Buru asked. He didn't know I was in here, getting my face pounded.

She shut off the lights so Buru wouldn't be able see the blood dripping oozing from my nose and mouth. She slightly opened up the door. "Hey, can you hand me some wet paper towels?"

I regained most of consciousness, now sitting on Sukia's bed while she cleaned my face. "Dude, I am so sorry. I didn't mean to get out of hand."

"It's fine...I deser-"

She slap me with the bloody paper towel to show that she was still angry. "That's what I'm talking about! Stop letting me walk over you."

"I'm sorr-" I quickly silence myself when her fist was close to my nose. I stayed quiet and just let her do her thing. Despite what she did, I felt inspired to train and be around her even more. Maybe I was crazy. I decided to hang out with her a little while longer so I can get to know her better. She booted up a Playstation 4 and given me the second remote. "Ready to get fucking murdered?"

"Mortal Kombat 11... oh! I love this game!"

"You played this before?"

"My friend Tamesu had this game."

In our first match, it was rather intense since Sukia was really good at this game but so was I! I won! And just to humiliate her, I ended it off with a fatality. "Hehe!"

"You jerk. Rematch."

I won the rematch too. Laughing that I got two wins, I could sense anger radiating from Sukia. I stop laughing immediately but that didn't stop her from tackling on the bed. "You cheater!" She exclaimed as she start throwing soft punches toward me.

I start laughing again while covering myself with my arms. I hope she was comfortable from what I was about to do. She was going to punch me again until she felt my arms embrace her waistline. "W-whaaah! Y-you..." Blushing furiously, she was about to punch me with full force until she was caught off guard when I stood and slammed her into the bed. "Oof...pervert..." She chuckled.

I was on top of her now, about to get some payback. Before I could grab the pillow though, I was caught off guard by her sentence. "Huh?"

The door then creeked open with Sukia's father entering the room. He was going to say something but he went speechless when saw me on top...of Sukia...between her legs. I could tell that was her dad by his blue hair and I can tell he was fueling with anger by the vein bulging on his forehead. We quickly got up, I adjusted my shirt out of awkwardness while Sukia was nervously chuckling. Before she could explain, her father cut her off. "What is going on?"

"Nothing, we were just playing..." She replied.

"I-I should leave. Thank you for your time Sukia."

Poor choice of words, when I was about to leave, her father nudged me back. "'Thank you for your time.'" He repeated. "You better not trying to take advantage of my daughter or I'll kick your ass."

Sukia defended me by getting between us. "Dad, stop. Inuko is far from that type of guy. We were just playing wrestling. Besides, him? Really?"

I know that was an insult but I couldn't help to chuckle. He glared back at me and pointed at the door. "Get."

"Huh?"

"GET!"

That was a new experience, I thought but it was a fun...experience, minus the me getting pounded and later kicked out. "You..." A voice echoed, I look over to see Gehimasu coming upstairs. Oh why, fucking why. He just saw me coming out Sukia's house. "Bitc-" He was hit in the face by a small rock that I thrown. He lost his balance too which caused him to stumble down the stairs. I snorted and howl in more laughter. I swear, with all this laughing my stomach was going to need to be check. I went into my house.

It...was still the same though. I kept getting my butt kick, I kept hiding it from my parents and now Sukia...I kept training hard and now it was 2 weeks later, I was just at the park with Buru. I like hanging here since it reminded when I was kid. "Buru, what happen to your glasses?" I asked him.

Buru was hesitant to answer that question. "This guy name Lax...he's way bigger than Gehimasu and friends with him. He stolen my phone and broken my glasses..."

Buru was taking it hard too...I sighed. We were just punching bags so I started crying...Buru look at me in concern. "Why are you crying?"

"Isn't it obvious!? You got hurt because of me!"

Buru sighed. "I shouldn't told him. I knew he would've blame himself."

I risen was wiping the tears away as Buru comforted me. I then risen my head when I heard. "Yo losers!" From Jorge. He and Crimson was coming.

"What do you want...?" I said.

"You want to get your ass beat?" Crimson threatened.

I didn't say anything. Crimson then look over to Buru. "You can't blackmail us like Gehimasu, so you either fuck off or I'll beat you to a bloody paste."

I'll be frank, I had enough of this. I got off my high horse or in case swing. Crimson and Jorge was surprised a bit by my sudden approach. "Please leave Buru alone, he has been through a lot."

"Yeah? What are you gonna do about?" Jorge gave me a shove on the shoulder.

---

Buru's PoV

I watched Inuko approach one of our school bullies. I didn't expect him to defend me though but in his eyes, I could tell that he was scare. But then after Jorge shoved Inuko, I just saw him lash out at Joege. Showing unbelievable amounts of strength, he was lifting Jorge up by his throat...using one hand. "I'm done...I'm done, I'm going to kill...kill...kill."

Was that a death threat? I thought. Inuko had a craze look in his eyes as if he was about to kill Jorge, Crimson could have interfered but he look scared by Inuko strange feats of strength. Jorge gagged, trying to activate his quirk but Inuko just ripped the vines and tossed them aside. I needed to stop him before be hurts anyone. At first I tried to convince him. "Inuko! Stop! You're gonna get in trouble if you do so."

"I don't care..."

Jorge scratched Inuko's arm out of desperation of air. "A-ack!"

I covered my mouth as I was a witness of murder...Inuko just snapped Jorge's neck with his bare hands. Inuko with no remorse had dropped Jorge's corpse on the playground. What was I suppose do? If I try to pull him away, he'll hurt me too. Crimson look in horror as he was about to haul ass. But Inuko quickly jump onto them. "Wait! Please! Please! I'm sorry! Don't kill m-"

I slowly backed away out of fear when Inuko repeatedly start smashing his fist into Crimson skull. I could see that Crimson arm limp to the side as I hear the painful sound of Inuko's knuckles ramming into a defenceless person face. I could see blood oozing from I assuming from Crimson... he wasn't moving, they were dead.

Then I snapped back to reality. Inuko still had Jorge lifted off his feet with just a hand. "Eh- I- I was daydreaming? Ah! Inuko!" I exclaimed. I pulled him away which made him drop Jorge onto the ground.

Jorge was grasping for air and tried to get away from Inuko. "Y-you'll pay for this!" He scattered away. But Crimson was still there, looking at them both.

"I-I'm sorry..." Inuko apologized. "I didn't mean to do that."

I was glad that Inuko stopped but Crimson was still here but I doubt he'll do anything after watching his friend being manhandled. "I still need to talk." Crimson said to Inuko but then he look at me. "But not to him. He needs to go."

I guess I wasn't wanted, Inuko look like he didn't want to be here either but he pointed his head at the gate, telling me to go and wait. Awhile they talk, it was hard to get what they were talking about since Inuko expression usually go from angry to very sad mellow tone. It ended with both walking away from each other. "What were you two talking about?" I asked out of curiosity.

"...nothing, I just hope this stop afterwards."

"You convince him to stop?"

Inuko shook his head no which knock me out the loop. It was an awkward silence when he walked home. I didn't want anything to end off an quick sour note so I smiled. "Hey...you want to play video games?"

"No...maybe later."

---

Inuko was depressed and bored, wishing he could get over this in a different way. Inukai, his mother was worried about him since he rarely talks to her and Yosigo. It was just a while later that a knock came to the front door Inuko's head perked out of his room to see his mother opening the door. Crimson was already here with his clothes and everything packed. "Dang it! I forgot."

Inuko shot between his mother and Crimson before anyone of them can make awkward small talk. "Heyy...Crimson." Inuko said in a disgusted low tone.

"Did you ask them?" Crimson said to Inuko.

"Ask them what?" Inuko's mother joined in.

Inuko sighed, looking over to his mother. "My friend who goes to the same school as me...was kicked out of his parents house and was I wondering if he could stay here."

Inukai was a got a bit suspicion from Inuko. He never invited anyone over unless it was Sukia and Buru who literally lived nextdoor. Not only that, this Crimson person looks like a delinquent to her. "By stay...do you mean for a while or just live here with us?"

Crimson didn't explain how long he was going to stay. Actually, he didn't even explain why he needed to stay here. "I guess live with us...?"

It took a while for Inukai to respond which made Inuko fidgeted his hands together. Then unexpectedly, Inukai brought back her usual happy go-lucky smile. "Sure then! Since he's enrolled in the same school with as you, I won't mind you having a roommate."

Inuko lead Crimson to his room to unpack. The Beast Boy couldn't help to get an awkward twist in his stomach. Crimson was apart of the group who keeps tormenting him and now he living with him. It was for a good reason for why he was staying here. "Please tomorrow, tell them."

"I could but I don't know." Crimson responded.

"What do you mean?"

"Gehimasu is a jealous, obsessive maniac if you hadn't notice."

Inuko furrow his eyebrows. "I do...but that doesn't matter! We made a deal! If you don't convince him to stop then I'm telling my parents about you."

"But the thing is, I don't know how to convince him without taking heat either. He's angry at the fact that you're hanging out with his girlfriend."

He sighed. "That's the most terrible excuse to pick on someone ever! Sukia doesn't like me that way nor I don't like her that way."

"Not only that, you nearly choked Jorge to death."

"I acted out of anger!"

"Why won't you just fight Gehimasu."

Inuko just ignore that question, actually he decided to change the subject. "Forget that! You said you were going to help me, now if you don't then your getting out!"

"Fine...then."

Since it was a possible chance that Crimson was going to live just day here, Inuko didn't think to get along with him whatsoever. But Crimson did. "So what do you like to do?"

Inuko had his face buried in a manga book, growling out of anger. "I like reading manga."

"Oh, me too. I'm really interested in Fantasy manga. Ya know, Supernatural shit. Have you read Metsubō No Ken?"

Inuko risen an eyebrow out of dumbfounded, since he was already reading Metsubō No Ken (Sword of Annihilation) "Haha, very funny." I said in a nonchalant tone.

"Seriously." Crimson look over to see the current chapter that Inuko was reading. "I already read this chapter. With Scorpio placed under a hypersensitivity spell Cyther was able to kill him with the Zerstörung sword."

As Inuko turn the page, he saw that Crimson was...right? Which left a dumbfound expression on Inuko's face. "W-wow, I didn't think someone like you would read manga."

Crimson chuckled. "I'm not one-dimensional ya know. I got the latest chapters in my suitcase if you want to see." The red haired boy got off the bed and went to his suitcase.

Just out of curiosity, Inuko glance at the suitcase to see some of his clothes spill out. Inuko rubbed his eyes, hoping that his eyes were deceiving. Were those polka dots...panties? I could just assume that Crimson was just another Erotchi but he had a load of them that look and smell fresh. I'll just pretend I didn't see it and just wait.

"Here!" He handed Crimson the newest manga chapters.

Inuko instead sat the manga chapters aside while narrowly glaring at Crimson. "I'm curious, why in the heck do you want to stay my place? Couldn't you have Gehimasu or Jorge?"

"I'll be frank. I don't like neither one of them but you know, survival of the fittest."

"But it's not prison."

Crimson sat at the end of Inuko's bed. "Yeah but I ain't takin the hero course so school is pretty much like prison for me."

"But why do you need a place to stay?"

"I have my reasons."

Inuko groaned.

Monday, 8:00pm. Like all days, Inuko goes to school with his friends...except he has Crimson there. Inuko stayed silent so he wouldn't start any awkward conversation with Sukia and Buru around Crimson but Sukia being the ruff person she is, she pull Inuko closer to her. "Dude, Buru told me what happen. But I think he's lying. Did you seriously lift Jorge up by his neck with one hand?"

Inuko was hesitant to say anything but that jittery grin confirmed it all. "That's so meta. Are you training without me or you've been holding back on me?" She asked. That jittery grin went away, Inuko remembered that the strength he got was coming from his Beast Quirk that dramatically increases his all his physical capabilities. Sukia happy tone suddenly went dark as she stopped in front of Crimson. "That just reminded me. What the fuck is your problem." She shoved Crimson back a bit.

"What?" Crimson stepped back. "What are you talking about?"

"My little brother, he told me what your punk ass be doing to Inuko." Sukia stated, she then look back at Inuko. "And seriously Inuko? You let this scrawny short fuck mess with you? He looks so close to dying to malnutrition."

Inuko and Buru chuckled despite how mess up that insult was. Crimson grip his backpack strap and was about to just go away quietly that until the water girl grabbed him by his shirt while rising up a clenched fist. Inuko to the rescue held it back and shook his head. "No need to do that, please."

Sukia calmed down and released Crimson but soon as she did, she socked him straight in the jaw that caused him to stumble back. "Fuck off! I don't want to see you around him anymore."

"Sukia..." Inuko said in a mellow tone, he was actually happy that Crimson got an own taste of his medicine but he couldn't let Sukia do. "You shouldn't have don-"

"No, shut up!" She snapped. "Even after all this time, you still let people do this to you. Keep that up and I'll stop being friends with you."

Inuko eyes widen when she said that, Buru got between them both but was mainly front of Inuko defensively. "Don't be so mean Sukia. Not everyone has to be so hellbent on fighting like you."

"Shut the hell up and get out the way." Sukia start walking to school on her own.

Inuko lowered his head out of devastation, he was already depressed because of the bully he was endured through these past weeks. When Inuko start walking, his foot slightly crack through the sidewalk cement. "I-inuko?" Buru called out but didn't get a response.

As he made it to his classroom, Kashi being the first to be there waved at him. "Yo, Inuko!" He greeted. Inuko didn't say anything which had him concern. "Something wrong?" He asked.

The class start to fill up, Kashi then noticed how Sukia and Inuko weren't making any eye contact with each other. When they did, it was usually Sukia glaring at him. It was during lunch, Inuko sat by himself. Kashi, being the cool friend he is, sat in front of Inuko. "Wow Inuko, you are more quiet than usual."

Inuko sighed. "Sorry Kashi. I'm just not feeling the best...like always."

"You and Sukia got into fight or something?" Kashi asked.

"Ahh, trouble in paradise?" Erotchi joined in, sliding his tray over beside Kashi's.

Inuko didn't respond to that. "Urk!" It happen again except worser. Gehimasu had poured hot mash potatoes mix with gravy onto him. "Argh..." Inuko groaned. He could hear the laughs from the other classes, especially from Gehimasu and Jorge. Not wanting to deal with it, he just left to go to the bathroom.

"Sukia isn't coming this time..." Inuko thought. He didn't expect her to come this time anyway since she was angry with him and because this is the boy's bathroom. He unbuttoned his shirt so he could wash the food off. It was just a while later, he pretended that nothing happen but some of his classmates were looking at him awkwardly. It was P.E class, Inuko was standing away from everyone since he didn't felt needed but Sukia came over to him anyways. "You ready to train?"

Inuko just turnt away. "Hmph."

She swoop in front of him. "Sorry?"

Inuko stick out his tongue.

Sukia just giggled and punched his shoulder. "C'mon. You know I didn't mean what I said earlier. I'm just angry that you're enduring all that."

Inuko still didn't say anything even though she was right. She then shoved him, playfully. "You can't be angry at me forever."

When she shoved him, Inuko accidentally bumped into Akatsuki who was finding a good spot to train with Yamara. Inuko turnt around, terrified who he did ran into..."Watch where you're going, bitch!" Akatsueki let off a small wave of fire to send Inuko flying into Sukia.

"Akatsueki!" Yamara shouted at her partner.

"Akatsueki!" Kashi was running over to them.

"Kashi!" Sekijiro called out, causing Kashi to stumble over his own feet. Kashi look back at his teacher who was shaking his head, basically telling him not to interrupt.

Sukia groaned but she checked to see if Inuko's alright first. "You good."

"I had enough!" Inuko fist slammed right next to Sukia's face that cause her to flinch. Despite the visible anger he was showing, he kept his emotions in check so he can activate his cat quirk.

"Wait, Inuko!" Sukia tried to stop him.

Akatsueki saw that Inuko was returning. Amused that a punching bag was actually going to fight back for the first. "Hehe...you want to prove that you aren't a coward huh? Well you choose the wrong time to prove it!"

Like Endeavor, Akatsueki was able to jet himself through the air by shooting flames out his feet as if they were rockets. Inuko brace himself as he crouched under a midair roundhouse kick. Inuko was planning to react until he saw another kick heading his way. Despite the flames, Inuko was able to hold it off with his forearm before skipping back so he wouldn't have to endure the burning sensation for to long Akatsueki finally landed to shoot a blast of flames at Inuko. The cat boy jump to the left to dodge it before running in for a frontal attack. He didn't expect fast speed from Inuko but he was ready for it. He erupted another fire blast at Inuko's direction. Inuko leapt over it while getting enough distance to claw Akatsueki straight in the face. Akatsueki grunted but counterattacked with a punch Inuko's abdomen before upper cutting Inuko with a flame infused punch. That had Inuko flying with a string of blood coming from his mouth. Inuko landed on his feet before jumping out the way to dodge another flaming fist from above. Now to show some gymnastics combat. Like he did with Puro, when Akatsueki fired another wave of fire but point-blank. Inuko jump over it and landed behind the Fire User. Akatsueki turnt to swing his hand to combusted a wave of flames. WAMP! Inuko landed a heel drop onto Akatsueki's head. He then followed up with another claw strike, uppercut style. Inuko tried to end off this combo with a spin kick but in midair rotation, Akatsueki caught him off caught with a point-blank fire blast that sent him flooring. "That was weaker than his fire punch." Inuko thought while getting up. Akatsueki and Inuko rushed at each other, about to go blow for blow but before he could do anything, blood splattered onto them both with Sekijiro grabbing them by their heads and slamming them into the ground. The two boys grunted as they were pinned down by very thick blood. "That's enough." Sekijiro got off them both while looking at Inuko. "Good job."

The two was later released. The fight was over but the intentions were still there. Inuko was getting praised for how well he did against Akatsueki who was the second best in the class. Sukia being the first to praise him. "Inuko, I swear to god if you let anyone pick on you now..." Sukia said.

"Even though I don't condone senseless violence, I think you did pretty good Inuko." Kashi praised.

"He wasn't that good." Yano didn't want to admit it. She didn't like Inuko only because of this team up had Sukia spending most of her time training with him. She and Sukia did hung out yesterday but Yano still didn't like him.

Inuko on the other hand felt like he could do anything. If he could stand up against Akatsueki, then the bullies...were just fodder. It was no point of being scared. It was after school, Sukia was still talking about Inuko fight with Akatsueki. "We should spar at Puro's warehouse! Just wanna prove you got nothing on me!"

Inuko look away to show he was still angry about earlier. "You're still mad about what I said? Geez, does sorry and forgiveness exist to you? I didn't even mean it!"

"It still hurts my feelings."

"And guess what! I stood up for you when Gehimasu thrown those mash potatoes on you!"

Inuko didn't ca- wait what? "Y-you did?"

"Yup! Roundhouse kick straight to the jaw!"

"But isn't he your boyfriend?"

Sukia look at Inuko with a confused stare. "Who in the hell told you that? Me and him aren't dating."

Inuko frowned. So all this time, Gehimasu was lying for literally what? Just ego and envy. "What a jerk."

"So, since we're cool and all. How about we train later on?"

"I still hate you."

"Can I come over?"

Inuko look over to her with a flustered face. "Whaaha?! W-why?"

"Because why not? I invited you in mine several times."

Inuko covered his face to hide his bashful face. "B-but! M-my parents..."

Sukia cocked her head in confusion. "Your parents love me, though."

"That's the point! They're gonna say so many cringy things."

"Liiike?" She asked as if she was curious but she already could already assume.

Inuko looks over to Buru. "Are you coming over too? It'll make things less awkward."

"I got lots of studying to do for a test tomorrow, so sorry Inuko."

Inuko sighed while Sukia was laughing her ass off. He then remembered that Crimson would probably come back too and he knows that Sukia would murder Crimson if she sees him again. The worst part, if he does deny Sukia...she'll just come and beat on the door anyway. "F-fine Sukia..."

Inuko came inside his house that was surprisingly quiet. He found a note on the kitchen counter.

Watch over the house for us Inu-chan! Me and your father are gonna be gone for the week! There's plenty of food you could eat and if you need to buy anything, our debit card is in the room. ONLY SPEND 21,690 yen!

"Wow! That's a lot." He said, stuffing the note in his pocket. Inuko then came to his room see Crimson cuddled in a blanket on his bed. Inuko storm over to shake him. "Wake up!" He shouted. Angrily, he pull the blanket off from Crimson. But his eyes widened when he saw blood oozing from his wrists and thighs...he was shirtless and pantless but he was wearing the pantsu that Inuko saw yesterday and had bandages wrapped around his chest. "W-what happen?" Inuko was asking himself. He was in panic but stayed stable to go over to the closet to find...towels? He didn't have any bandages but these towels could work. He was wiping the blood off his body with a wet towel before using clean dry towels to cover up the wounds.

"Oh my god...is he breathing?" He checked to see if he was. They weren't but they still had a pulse. Now he wasn't comfortable on giving mouth to mouth to another person yet but he didn't have a choice. "Come on! Come on!" He pumped their chest before exhaling into their mouth. It was just a while later that Crimson was gasping for air. Inuko let out a huge sigh of relief. "Holy...it actually worked." He wanted to punch Crimson straight in the face but it wasn't needed. They were already in bad condition. "What in the hell is wrong with you?"

Crimson didn't answer the question. "Did you...call the hospital?"

"I am in a minute."

Crimson grabbed him by his shirt. "DON'T! DON'T! Please...don't. I'll be fine."

Inuko sighed again. "Did you cut yourself? Why?"

Crimson again avoided the question. So Inuko assumed. "Was it because Sukia said? ...Seriously?"

Again, he didn't answer. Inuko groaned, pulling bloody sheets and blanket off the bed. Luckily, they had a apartment size washer and dryer machine to place all the bloody things he held, including his pants and shirt. "Ugh! Worst day ever..." Inuko said while heading to the bathroom to wash the blood off his hands.

Knock knock.

"Crap! Uh-uh! In a minute!" He quickly ran to his bedroom to find random clothes, pajamas mainly.

"Inuko, let me in you-" The door flung open. "asshole."

Inuko standed in front of doorway with a black tank-top and blue pajamas on. He was obviously in panic from the sweat dripping from his forehead but he kept his composure. "H-hey Sukia." He greeted breathlessly.

Sukia didn't bother greeting back as she just bum rush past him. She was wearing a casual, actually it was more an indoor outfit. "Where's your parents?"

Inuko closed then locked the door. "Out for a week? Like for seven days?"

"I guess?"

"Wow..."

Sukia glance back at Inuko while biting her lip rather seductively. "You know, just me and you here alone...makes me dirty..."

Inuko being his gullible self was panicking with a blushful color burning into his cheeks. "Y-y-you what?!"

That's exactly the reaction she wanted as she bursted out laughing hysterically. "Hahaha! Your face is so priceless."

"Ugh, jerk." Inuko internally insulted. He then followed Sukia who was now just randomly exploring places she wouldn't think going, like my parents room. Inuko jump in front of the door, holding his arms out defensively. "Off limits!"

"Why? You scared?" Sukia teased.

"N-no, just respecting my parents privacy!"

"Fine, we stay here." Sukia said. The female stayed there with her arms crossed waiting until Inuko moves.

Inuko glowered at his stubborn friend. Giving up, he side stepped out the way. "Fine...just don't touch anything."

Sukia beaming a mischievous grin, she went inside his parents room, treating it as if she found a treasure chest. It was just a normal style room. Sukia bent down to examine under the bed. Inuko was about to pounce until he heard his bedroom door creaking open. He saw Crimson coming out despite the injuries and lack of clothes. "Crimson..." Inuko muttered.

Inuko came into the room while pushing him inside. "Don't come out!"

"Why not?"

"You look like a girl!"

"I am a girl."

Inuko eyebrows quirked. "What?"

Crimson unfastened the chest dressing right in front of him. Inuko rapidly shaken his head while stepping backwards. "N-no, wai-"

Inuko covered his nose to suppressed the volcano of blood as he saw Crimson's chest. It oozed through his fingers. "Y-you have boobs..."

"I know that."

"P-put on a shirt and don't come out. Sukia is here." Inuko left out the room before closing the door shut. Ignoring all Crimson surprisingly nice feminine body, he realize that...she wasn't looking so well. Obviously physically but very mentally. It was weird and random considering the fact that everytime they encountered each other, Crimson look so malicious happy but now she just looks broken, a hollow husk.

Sukia returned to Inuko with her hands resting behind her. "Whatcha" Sukia words trailed off when she saw Inuko's nosebleed. "doin. What in the hell happen to you?"

Inuko just ignored her while grabbing a box of tissues. Sukia clicked her tongue out of frustration, really irritated at how much of an ass Inuko was acting. She blame herself though for what she said to him earlier. "Are you still mad for what I said earlier?"

"Of course but I get it though." Inuko said while throwing away the bloody tissue.

"Oh..." A smiled widen up on her face. "Glad ya do! I'm really tired of your ass being sensitive!" Sukia cried.

Inuko snickered. "I'll try to be better."

"Me too, sorry for earlier again." She apologized.

"Sorry?" Inuko repeated, then he smirked. "Don't be such a sidewalk now Sukia." Inuko mocked.

Sukia laughed. She then got an idea since it was getting boring with just them two. "Hey Inuko, we should invite more people over."

"Like a party?"

"Of course."

Inuko turnt on the news channel before sitting on his couch. "No."

"Seriously? Come on." Sukia hopped beside Inuko.

"No, I never had or been to a party before."

"This could be a learning experience then."

Sukia cuddle against Inuko. "Pwease?" She gave Inuko those puppy dog eyes.

Of course Inuko couldn't resist it so he groaned. "Fine...but we don't have any party stuff

"You got money?"

Inuko shaken his head but then remembered he had his mother's credit card.

Yuriko POV

My name is Yuriko Nagasaki but everyone know me as Crimson Ashima who is a guy in everyone's eyes. I watched Inuko leave with Sukia angrily. Did he forget I was here? I'll just kill myself and then it'll be his fault. I didn't need a knife either, I can bring out blades from my knuckles. I happily pointed it at my neck, ready to end it off.

My quirk deactivate as I fell onto my knees. "W-what the hell is wrong with me!?"

My life is a downwards spiral, it felt like a complete joke. I want to kill myself so badly but I was afraid so I thought to cut myself...that usually eases out the pain and if nobody's there, I'll just die. I taken off the towels and used the bandages I had to covered my breasts to cover the wounds. I then look through Inuko's dresser to find one of his shirts. I went into the front to fix me something to eat. I wonder if he's out looking for me. I hope not. But then I realized that he could find me at school. I groaned but then remembered that Inuko parents weren't here. I could just skip school until they return. I could hear my phone ring from the room which felt like ages since I heard it. It was Gehimasu, I coughed to get my guy voice on. "Hey."

"Why didn't you come to school today?"

"I just didn't feel like it."

"Dude, Sukia just totally punked me in front of everyone because of Inuko."

"I think it's best if we just leave him alone. The more that you mess with him, more Sukia will hate you."

"We need to get rid of him."

"What?"

"I'll call Lax and his friends to bring Inuko to our hideout. And then we'll murder that fucker there."

Was he serious? I wasn't going to join in that and I was definitely going to tell Inuko. "You kiddin right?"

"What's wrong? You hated him just as me and Jorge did? He's just being irritated at this point. No matter what we did, he wouldn't just fuck off."

"Leave me outta this, okay? Just forget about Sukia cause no matter what you do, she's not liking you."

I hang up after that. I actually regretted that I said that since he'll probably come after me as well. It was just a while, still waiting for Inuko to return.

I saw him coming from afar along with Sukia and Koru from a taxi. I unlocked the door and hid in the room. "No! She's not coming!" Inuko said, coming into the door.

"C'mon, Yano's my friend though."

"I don't care! She is so mean to me and I can't stand her British accent!" Inuko complained, sitting the groceries on the counter. "I bet if she comes, I bet she'll say 'Oh Inuko, I knew live in a black water apartment but this is just sad.'"

Sukia laughed. "Oh my god, your British accent imitation is hilarious but seriously, she won't cause any harm."

"Fine! Geez. Thank you for helping Koru." Inuko said.

"No problem."

I stayed in the room, watching Inuko and the others set things up. I could tell that Inuko wasn't feeling this party but maybe...it would blow over.

After an hour. I was proven wrong. This party was live as hell. It was many people from UA, some old friends Sukia knew from middle school and others that they knew from Puro warehouse. Inuko anxiety was up but he didn't felt so isolated when some praised me for this party, even though it was Sukia who knew what teenagers want at a party. Good music, good food, good drinks. Someone knock on the door and Inuko came to pick it up. "Oh god."

"You made this party?" Yano chuckled. "I can't believe it. Someone who lives in a black water apartment has enough money to set this up."

"I guess I wasn't so off about the black water apartment thing." Inuko thought. Yano was about to come in until Inuko blocked her way. "You think I'm gonna let you in after you insulted me?"

"Oh? You can speak now, I guess being at your own house builds self-confidence."

Inuko face went red out of anger but he was about to blow a fuse. But then he remembered that Yano is very insecure about her size. "What did you say? I can't hear you from down there.

Yano furrowed her eyebrows and gripped the arm of glasses. "Say that again you insolent pussy."

Inuko just walk away, that only made her even more angry. "Where the hell are you going?"

"Close the door shorty, it's getting cold."

Inuko POV

I didn't expect this party to be bumping so loud but we definitely need to quiet down everything. I went to Sukia who was our DJ. "Hey! We should turn the music down."

"Hell no. Our party is dope as hell." She said. She wasn't wrong but I think we could get into some trouble. Before I could say anything, she brought me onto the dance floor which was the middle of the livingroom. "Come on, dance! Shake your boney Asian ass!"

I blushed out of embarrassment and shook my head rapidly. "Definitely not! I can't dance to save my life and I'm not boney!"

"Doesn't matter! Dance! I won't leave you until you do!

I was just going to walk away to my room but she stood right in front of me. I sighed and swallowed the little pride I had left. With no rythm whatsoever, I rolled my hands around each other. Sukia was laughing her ass off while I was blowing up in embarrassment. "OKAY! I DANCED!"

"Hehehe...dance like you mean it."

I rolling my hands around each other again while stepping my feet behind the other. Sukia laughed. "Come on! Do something else!"

I just simply spun around but Sukia wasn't going to accept just a spin. "Better follow that spin up!"

I didn't what to do, my legs twisted together and almost made me fall but I was able to keep my balance. I reversed the rotation of my spin but it wasn't really a spin, it was more like a turn. "Don't fail, don't fail, don't fail!"

I got it! I was able to do this! I got my foot on his tippy toe while sliding front foot backwards smoothly past my back foot basically doing the moonwalk. I did until I bump right into Sukia, she was still laughing but not as hard as before. "Awesome moonwalk, Inuko. What do you want?"

"Turn down the volume a bit."

"No! Come dance with me."

I sighed, I already lost my pride. Its been hours later, I was chugging down a few cups of fruit punch. It tasted normal but it got my body all flimsy. "Holy god, this fruit punch taste so...strong."

"I'm pretty sure someone spiked that." Erotchi said, sneaking up behind.

I almost fell by Erotchi's sudden approach, whatever alcohol they slipped in there was already taking effect. "Oh no. That's it, Suki-" I frozen up, watching Sukia with...another guy. I wasn't jealous...I-I wasn't jealous. My body felt completely numb...

Erotchi waved his hand in front of my face, he then look over to see Sukia was slow-dancing with some guy. I felt a thump on my head that knocked me out of my numbness. "Hey, Inuko. It's a party, there's plenty of girls here."

I didn't say anything after that. I just returned to the spike fruit punch. I drank until I couldn't remember anything. That was a lied, it actually made me more bitter about what I saw. It was 30 minutes later, Sukia was clearing out my house finally since it was close to night. Our friends were still here, sitting around each other playing a game of Truth or Dare. Hanabi, Yano, Erotchi, Hiro, Naido, and Hansha.

I was...drunk as hell but my mind was still stable.

"Hey, w-what are you playing?"

"Since it's only a few of us, we decide to play Truth of Dare." Hanabi said.

I stared at Naido. His quirk was basic. He was able to create clones of himself, the clone being weaker than the caster obviously. "Is that my mother's gown...?"

Naido chuckled nervously. "Sorry...I was dared."

I sat on the floor, next to Yano. Yano look over to me with a evil grin, I could smell an insult from a mile away. "I know your life was sad Inuko, but now you're drinking it away?"

I gritted my teeth but I stayed calm. "Possible chance that your mother and her brother was drunk when they produce you."

The others laugh while Yano could barely say anything. Out of anger, her hand was stung across my cheek. Which only made laugh. "Yano, Truth or Dare?" Hanabi asked.

"Dare..."

"I dare you to..."

"Wait- Hanabi." Erotchi piped in. Erotchi then whispered something in Hanabi's ear. Yano was scared when Hanabi started to giggle at something that Erotchi said.

"I dare you to kiss Inuko."

"Wha-"

"On the mouth, 15 seconds."

"W-wait! You're kidding me, right?" Yano said.

"Hey, you made me wear someone's gown. It's only fair if you did your dare!" Naido piped in the conversation.

I didn't like Yano, she was a douchebag but I couldn't help to keep thinking about Sukia with that guy...and Erotchi technically said I need to get my mind off Sukia. My cheeks went red. "W-what's wrong Yano...s-scared to p-play the game?" I stuttered.

"See? Even Inuko is into it." Erotchi says.

Yano glared at me with such a murderous yet bashful look. "T-this doesn't mean I like you, okay?"

I braced myself for my first kiss ever, I can't believe it was going to be with someone I despise though. It didn't take long for her to press her lips against mine. We didn't go far as simple dry kissing. After a 15 seconds, we pull apart. Embarrassed, I quickly shot on my feet. "I-I think I'm gonna sleep! Thank you for coming to this party!" I ran away, not before taking the rest of the fruit punch mixed with the alcohol.

"Such a terrible kisser." Yano wiped her mouth, still blushing. "I no longer want to play this game."

I was in my room...curious where Crimson was at? I remember seeing her coming in and out the party, sometimes even dancing and socializing. Did she disappear? Whatever, I was going back to drink until I pass out. Maybe I'll be able to forget that I saw that. Was I really that jealous? I couldn't be. I only knew her for 2 weeks but whatever it was, it really had me pissed off. Before going asleep, I had to used the bathroom but I saw Sukia coming out. I could only frown when I saw her. "You good Inuko?"

"Huh? *Hic* woof?"

"..." Sukia bursted out with laughter. "Haha, you're wasted."

"Move, I gotta use the bathroom, woof." I said with a bit anger in my voice.

"Yessir." She moved out the way, announcing to the others that the party was officially over, meaning they had to leave for school tomorrow.

I stayed in the bathroom for a bit, splashing water across my face. I sighed. As I went back, I saw Yano coming out of my room? "H-hey...what were you doin in my bedroom, woof?"

"I thought it was the bathroom! Shut up you dog!" Yano insulted me as she quickly ran out my apartment.

I just shrug and went into my room, it didn't look any different when I left, if it did...I was too drunk to care. I later passed out on my bed. As a new day was born, I was still asleep but I could feel someone shaking my arm. "Wake up!"

I quickly awoken up, remembering I had school. I look at my alarm clock to see that it was early. "W-why didn't it-" I silent myself in midsentence as I ran past Yuriko to hurry over to the toilet to vomit. Yuriko walk in on me, leaning against the door. "That party was wild."

I flushed the toilet. "Y-yeah...woof."

"He was here."

I went to the sink to cleanse my mouth. "Who?"

"Lax. He was the one who was slow dancing with Sukia."

I spit the water out of shock, having it splash against the mirror. "H-he is Lax?"

Yuriko nodded at me. Guess Buru wasn't wrong when he said that Lax did had a physique on him, no wonder Sukia was dancing with him. I started to feel a bit more envious but that didn't overshadow my confusion. Yuriko continued to talk. "They snuck away from the party and I overheard them saying weird stuff."

"How weird...?"

"Something that a teenage couple would say."

That was it, my eyes started to look a bit craze. Yuriko noticed the look in my eye which reminded her the time at the playground when I nearly choked Jorge out. "You alright?"

"Haah...hah.." I was about to go crazy but I calm myself down by slapping my jaws. "I-I am, may you leave? I need to take a shower."

After freshening up and putting on my clothes, I was ready to attend school. I needed to talk to Buru about Lax. I texted him.

Inuko:"You and Sukia are still getting ready?"

Buru: "We're about to leave right now."I opened the front door to see Sukia and Buru coming out. I sent another message.

Inuko: "Is Lax, Sukia's boyfriend?"

Buru: "How did you know?"

Inuko: "He was at the party yesterday with Sukia. Why didn't you tell me or your sister?"

Buru: "I was planning on telling you but seeing how you reacted against Jorge, I was afraid that you'll engage with Lax and might've snapped. Not only that but Sukia was praising you when you fought one of the strongest kid in your class? Knowing that, I'm really scared that you will fight Lax."

Inuko: "Why are you scared if I fight him?"

Buru: "When I tried telling Sukia that he bullied me sometime ago, she completely went berserk on me, calling me a liar. If she finds out you fought him, I'm afraid she'll end every contact with you."

Wow. I didn't think Sukia could be like that. Sukia look over my phone but I quickly pull it away, from her bewildered calm face...I could tell she didn't see what me and Buru was conversating about. "Who ya talking to?"

"Nobody. Move."

Sukia grinned. "Wow! Ever since you fought Akatsueki, you think you could bully me!"

I rolled my eyes and continued to text Buru.

Inuko: "Whatever. You're my friend too. We can't let these guys push around, including her boyfriend."

Buru: "Right! Let's bull the bullies."Me and Buru look at each other. I gave him a fist bump for luck. Sukia look at me and Buru in confusion. "What was that about?"

"Pff- none of your business." Buru said.

Sukia felt angry that she was being left out the loop. "Come on! Tell me!"

"No..." I was looking through my contacts...Yano name was in there. I don't remembering asking Yano for her phone number. I was curious on why so I didn't delete it.

To make up for yesterday. In class, I we were going through usual studies. I couldn't help to feel worry for Buru since he was basically in class with that asshole and I doubt Gehimasu would hold anything back now that Sukia doesn't want his pathetic ass. "Oof!" Had escaped my mouth. I look over to see a paper ball thrown at me. I glance at the direction it came which came from Yano. While the 18 heroine, Nemuri was still turnt, explaining a few things. I thrown the paper ball right at her forehead. "Hmph."

After a little while, it was thrown back at me. I started to groan and pick it up again. I then unravel it to see what it says. Before I could, a whip hit my desk, causing me to skip up. "Eep!"

"I don't appreciate you..." Nemuri paused to see the writings on the wrinkle paper. "reading notes in the classroom. For that, stand up-

"Wha?!"

"And read it all to the class."

I blushed out of embarrassment as I glared at Yano while getting out of my seat. Nemuri then pointed at the marker board, meaning I had to go there. Eyes were all on me, I look back at our current teacher. "D-do I have to read it?"

"You could get detention and I'll read the note out myself."

Oh my god...when I get my hands on Yano... "G-guess I don't have a choice..."

I cleared my throat and begin reading out loud.

Yeah, I put my phone number in. I would've asked for yours but I could smell the alcohol in your mouth from miles away and didn't know how you'll react. I know you despise me because of our interactions but I really enjoyed last night. I wanted to ask if you want to come over my house. My parents have a swimming pool. Will you come?

Yes or No?

P.S: Since you threw it back at me without reading I'm going to have Komori to kick your scrawny back...

"Behind throughout the P.E grounds."

I was so fucking embarrassed and I could tell from Yano's expression that she was too. "Aww, that's so adorable." Nemuri said.

The bell then rung, gladly. I still hid my face in shame with murmurs going out in my class. "Alright, I'll the voice of everyone! Who wrote that! Was it you Sukia?" Hanabi pointed out.

"No..." Sukia said, glaring at me. I didn't care, she could look whatever way she wants.

Erotchi was repeatedly pointing at Yano. "Definitely Yano! She was making out with him yesterday."

Yano glared at Erotchi with her cheeks turning red. "I-It was a dare that you and Hanabi made!"

"Doesn't disprove anythi- ouch!" Erotchi grunted loudly after being blasted in the arm by Yano's light beam.

Akatsueki glance at me, was he still angry for that fight yesterday. "How about we just steal his phone and look through his contacts."

"Great idea Akatsueki!" Hanabi said.

What did I expect from a more evil version of Sukia. Key term, more evil. Kashi defended me obviously. "Stay out of Inuko's privacy."

"What privacy? It's out in the opening!"

I found Buru going to the bathroom, since we're allowed to take in-between breaks, I decided to go use the bathroom too. I didn't have to use it but I wanted to make sure he was safe. "Hey Buru."

"Hey Inuko, you came right in time...they were following me." He whispered.

I nodded and hid in a stall. Buru was using the urinal while I waited. Then they came in. "Sup Buru! We know you've been snitchin on us."

Buru look at the other two. "I-I know what you did, you all took him away."

It grew silent on my side but one was whispering to the other. "H-hey! L-let me go!" Buru called out. That was the signal. I came out the stall and glared at the two bullies.

"You heard him! Let him go!"

Me being the rescuer didn't seem appealing since I was basically the punching bag for everyone for two weeks. So I think they wouldn't take me seriously. They both laughed but I didn't care what they think! I had courage. "What the fuck you think you could do?" One of them said, his name was Kira...pointing a knife at Buru's abdomen.

"Put that knife down..." I said.

"Or what?"

"...I'll kill you."

Kira thrown the knife at me, I crouch under the knife and run toward them both. My cat quirk wasn't activating, I was about to snap again. Buru knew that since my eyes were losing it sanity. Kira started to approach me and blocked my...punch? It sent him slightly skidding back but he didn't look hurt but surprised when he saw my hands. I glance at his too, we both had claws? "You have an animal Quirk. Same as mine!"

I blocked a punch that had me slipping back against the door. I needed to get myself together, not now! Definitely not now! I calm down despite what I'm up against. I activated my cat quirk. "Bring it on!" I challenged.

Kira took a partial form of his quirk which made his teeth and claws a lot more sharper, black hair was then overlapping his purple hair. Since I was using my cat quirk, his quirk would be physically stronger than mine, however I was physically faster and more experienced in better combat. That didn't matter anyway, I could take blows since I fought Akatsueki and Sukia. Kira lunge out at me, trying to punch me again. I weaved under it and I slashed my nails up at his chin before knocking him back with a punch to the jaw. They did some damage but he endured them as he punched me back in the jaw, I stumbled back and was then tackled onto the floor. He was now just raining punches onto me, I was blocking them however but some actually hit unfortunately. "Bastard, you could never beat me in a fight!"

I was then smiling, not gonna lie I got cocky but this was going to be my winning moment. Instead of blocking them, I started to dodge them with my reaction speed. I then grab him by his shirt and flung my head into his nose, stunning him. I was able to loosen my legs and tie them around his neck and left underarm. I pull on his left arm so I can lock the triangle choke hold submission completely. I twisted my waist, basically rolling on top of him with the triangle choke hold lock. He was pretty much defenceless. "You lost." I chuckled, now adding insult to injury by just ramming my knuckles into his skull while applying pressure to his neck.

Kira choked, trying to break free. "H-help Reo!"

"I'm ready." I said, still choking him out.

Reo was a bit hesitant, seeing how ready I am. When he walk toward me, he almost trip over a small puddle. The puddle then exploded beneath him, sending Reo flying into the stall. We won this fight, I released Kira since he was nearly unconscious and his quirk was deactivate anyways. We later notified the teachers, we actually got Kira suspended for an entire month because he had knife while Reo only got a week. That was a win for us. We were leaving out the Principle office with a pass slip, "Heck yeah, man! We kicked two guys behinds! And we got them suspended. Not gonna lie! I was afraid." I said.

"Same! Let's continue knocking them down. Are you coming to Puro's warehouse?"

I could use some extra training but I shook my head no. Honestly, I was still angry that Sukia was going out with a bastard that bullies her brother. And...I wanted to go to Yano's house! Out of curiosity! "Don't let me hold you back! Text me about more info on these losers."

I went to my class. Later, in lunch. So much excitement was bursting through my veins which I could thank Akatsueki for. He finally pull the trigger that made me penetrate through anyone. I sat alone, like always and Kashi comes around to sit right in front of me. "Yo! Sorry that you got into a fight earlier!"

"Hehe...it's no problem! I'm fine and ready to keep..." I stop in midsentence when I saw Yano scooting her tray over to mine. We look at each other awkwardly before I started to scoot away. She followed.

"Damn you parasite, I can't sit next to you?"

"...No! Oof!" I bump into Sukia. Of course she had to be my road block! Thanks fate. I sighed, now being trapped between both Yano and Sukia.

"Inuko! You thinking about coming to Puro warehouse? We really need the extra training."

"No, I'm actually going to see who's my secret admire afterschool." I think I just threw up in my mouth.

Sukia happy tone suddenly became fixed and serious, if not angry. Now I felt bad and look away. Sukia look over to her friend. "Yano, can I come over?"

"I'm busy so sorry."

I think after that, Sukia really wanted to kill us both. And I feel like I'm going to be on the receiving end of her anger if she catches me. "So, you and Yano made out?"

"Just a dare." Yano stated.

Now she was making it awkward and I wished that I wasn't here. Yano on the other hand look like she didn't mind, I felt like I was doing something wrong now. I think I am, Sukia was technically my friend and I'm just ditching her off. But if I suddenly reject Yano, I'll feel just as bad despite me and Yano our weird interactions. Gladly Kashi joined in our conversation. "Still on about that? I'm going to assume you're jealous."

Nope! He only made it worst! I could see the anger building up in Sukia. She wanted to murdered me but we're in school.

---

Inuko was wearing the gym uniform but was at the Unforeseen simulation joint with Thirteen and a few others who were in other classes. "Who are they?"

Thirteen cleared his throat. "I'm Thirteen! Today you're here to see how you fair well in disaster rescues! It might seem boring but heroes don't only fight crime! They help the needed. Now, you!"

Thirteen pointed at me, then some guy and girl. Inuko found himself in a ditch with them both. Thirteen told me to pretend to be unconscious while a boy named Serigo who had a injured leg and a girl named Naoka just had to be there. Inuko eyes were closed, waiting to be rescuse but then he felt very intense breathing. He open up my left eye to see the girl with dog ears they call Naoka. "Um!" He closed his eyes and pretend she wasn't there. But then he felt a very moist tongue rubbing roughly against his cheek.

Inuko became very uncomfortable as he starts to squirm. "H-HEY! HURRY UP! HURRY UP! HURRY UP! Woof!"

"Cut that out Naoka!" Sergio said.

"Naoka likes his hair! He smells like a wild one!"

Inuko actually taken offense to that, now he was more weirded out when she starts sniffing his hair. Finally the stretcher was coming down with a boy riding on top of it. He was from class 1-E who didn't really cut out in the beginning but is slowly working up to being a hero, he was Hito Tsukiji. His quirk allowed him to Illusions that almost seem real, however it won't work if he isn't making eye contact, can be broken free if the person he cast it on feels actual physical damage and it's limit of people he could cast it on.

"The unconscious one first."

"He's here!" Naoka risen up Inuko's head.

Hito yank on the pulley to stretcher. "Finally, woof." Inuko yapped

"You barked! I knew you were just like me, woof! Woof!"

"Ugh." Inuko groaned.

The others was now in the ditch while Inuko and the class 1a students had to build a pulley stretcher. It was actually easy to do so. Sergio was sent down to pick up the unconscious. Serigo full name was Serigo Inazuma, his quirk allowed him to manipulate Lightning which made him one of the top in his class. He had blond hair and his skin was fair, his physique was very athletic too.

"So, does your quirk turn you into a canine?" Naoka asked Inuko.

"I g-guess? Does a wolf looking humanoid counts?" Inuko says while descending the stretcher down into the ditch.

"Naoka likes wolf looking human thingy! But you smell like something else too."

"Is it a cat?"

"Naoka hates cats."

Inuko didn't bother replying to that. Sergio tug the stretcher, signaling them to pull it up. "Do you hate cats?" Naoka asked.

Inuko honestly shaken his head. "Cats aren't bad. They're cuddy like doggies."

"Are you coming onto Naoka?"

"S-shut up."

Naoka Retoriba, another class 1a student. Her quirk is mutant type and let's her do what dogs do and even better. They've change to the destroyed urban setting after saving the others. What they aren't in for is that someone is here. "So, why do you want to become a hero?" Serigo asked Inuko.

Inuko nonchalantly shrug . "Just to control my quirk and use it to help others. What about you?"

"I want to look for my brother. He's out there."

"That's cool. What happen to him?" Out of curiosity, Inuko asked.

"He died."

Inuko squinted. Visibility baffled, Sergio continued to answer his question. "I'm not lying. He committed suicide but I believe he is out there somewhere."

"But-"

"I know it's crazy. But I really miss my brother. He was quirkless but man, anyone would regret making fun of him because of it. I did and he kicked my ass bad." Sergio chuckled.

"Heh." Inuko chuckled nervously, trying to hide the fact that he felt bad for Sergio for living in denial. But Inuko wasn't going to judge, maybe Sergio's brother was out there.

"R-run, Madness is here." Thirteen groaned.

Everybody look back to see Thirteen flat on the ground, groaning. "Everyone, join up close." Sergio said.

There wasn't no point, he already shown himself on top of a building. "Just a few kids? This should be easy."

Inuko look over to see it was only six of them so it might be rough. The villain jump down and landed safely. "Prepare to face my Madness!"

They all look at him, realizing that he doesn't act much of a villain. He wears a fondra mask over his mouth, and a trench coat. "Naoka thinks villain sounds stupid."

"Says the girl who speaks in third person! Prepared to be massacred!"

Despite the way he act, this Madess guy was agile as ever. So agile, that it was hard to see him. In front of Naoko, he sent her flying with a heavy punch to her gut. "Guh!" Naoka groaned. Inuko was next, Madess sent out a side kick to his stomach that flooring him on the dirt.

Sergio and the others immediately got on guard with Sergio forcing Madness to withdraw back by discharging lightning bolts from his hands. Madness leapt back and jump out the way. Hito ran in front of the others, luckily Madness made exact eye contact with him. "Huh?" Madness look around to see himself in a jungle? A tiger ferociously sink its teeth into his arm. The tiger was disposed off with just a single punch. But he notice that he didn't had any wound.

Hito look over to his fellow students. "I grant us a free attack! My False Reality Quirk only lasts for two minu-"

A shockwave then erupted when Madness clapped his hands together that blown Hito back. Madness was freed from the illusionary reality. "That quirk was neat! But it only controls two of my senses such as vision and hearing but it doesn't inflict actual damage."

Madness quirk allows him to boost his physical capabilities by infusing his vitality into his body. However since it consumes a lot of stamina, he only does it when he's about to attack. Madness charged at Hito but Sergio came to the rescue, punching Madness right in the stomach with a lightning infused punch. Madness let out a small grunt, Sergio start throwing lightning punches left and right while Madness was guarding himself. Hito joined in the fight, swinging a metal bat toward Madness. Madness jump backed to avoid the double team. Another student ran in front of them both. "Hah!" He shot out sticky threads from his hands at Madness, trying to bind him, Sergio joined in, shooting Lightning bolts at Madness.

Inuko and Naoka soon recover. Madness ran into the alley to avoid getting attacked and stay hidden. Sergio glance at them both. "You two good?"

Inuko nodded. The others readied themselves for Madness while Inuko was hesitant to activate his quirk since Naoka hated cats. He activated it anyway. To Naoka's reaction, she was growling angrily and got her hands around his throat, strangling him until his face went pale. "You lied to Naoka!"

"N-no I didn't!"

Madness was coming at them from behind to catch them off guard, Hito noticed him and gripped his bat tightly before charging at him. As Hito swung the bat, Madness snap it with a right hook. Madness then spun to hit Hito with a backhand that had so much force to flip Hito on his stomach. Naoka look at Inuko and grinned. "You first!"

She grabbed by his shirt and launch him toward Madness. Madness smirked as he sees Inuko's is right open. Inuko screamed until he flipped on his back and start rotating into a tornado of wind. "Lion's Drill!"

"Huh?" Madness didn't expect him to transition while midair and didn't have to dodge. He had to use his vitality to lowered the the impact but still, he had a struggle. Inuko and Madness repel each other with Inuko being driven across the ground while Madness falling heavily. "Damn, that attack was powerful." The villain started to get up, so did Inuko. Inuko dived at him and thrown a jab, Madness weaved under it and was preparing an uppercut. That until Sergio again coming to the rescue, having Madness stumble back with a jab to the stomach. Naoka also came with the assistance by uppercutting Madness away.

"Konchu!"

"Web Catastrophe!"

Tsugo Konchu quirk was Spider, he basically could threads and climb on the wall like a spider, he could also grow four extra arms, he was also from class 1a. Tsugo swung a massive ball of webs toward Madness. The others withdrawn so they wouldn't be caught in the mess. "Crap!" Madness cursed as he was crushed under the massive ball of webs.

"Did we win?" Inuko asked the others.

"We should, my webs are good for binding and that was a massive amount of webs." Tsugo stated.

Asuna Shuzenji, the great granddaughter of Chiyo Shuzenji. She's in Development of Support, working on both machines and medication. She just finished healing Hito, then she came over to Tsugo. "That attack was big, you should heal too."

"Not yet, save your energy."

Madness freed himself from the webs through sheer power, thanks to his quirk. "Heh, that attack was too strong too. I'm not done!"

"He's up! Attack!" Sergio fired more Lightning bolts at Madness.

"Revolting Disc!" Madness launch a vital disc that overpowered through Sergio Lightning bolts. Sergio eyes widen as the disc exploded onto him, sending him barreling back.

"Hauck!" Sergio grunted.

"Long Range attacks too, huh?" Inuko thought. Inuko had to think while the others start attacking again. "I don't know if I'm right but does his quirk boosts his physical capabilities or it just raw power? He was able to block my Lion's Drill which was able to take out Puro who has a killer physique of his own but he was knock back by a normal punch by Sergio."

Inuko got an idea, after Naoka was floored onto the ground Inuko decided to test his luck with the help of Hito who had a spare metal bat. "Stay on him!" Inuko commanded. Inuko attack first, swinging a roundhouse kick. Madness block it with his forearm and respond with a jab, Inuko bluntly fell flat on his back with Madness punch missing him by an inch. Hito to the rescue, he swung his bat, aiming at Madness jaw. The villain however, caught it. But he forgotten that he couldn't make eye contact with Hito otherwise. "Argh!" Madness grunted, looking around to see himself trapped in an inferno. That's where Inuko got in a free hit by using his hands to propel himself up while kicking Madness in the chin. Madness stumble back and retaliated by shooting a Revolting Disc at them both. Hito manage to jump out the way while Inuko taken it head on. It surely knock him over but he actually enjoyed the feeling. "Heh, this will only make tougher."

Tsugo and Sergio went to test their luck this time. Tsugo taken the distance to shoot his webs to bind Madness hands, he then yank them forward so the villain could be left defenceless. Sergio suckered punch Madness jaw with a hook. "Keep pressuring him!" Inuko shouted while getting up.

"Discharge Barrage!"

Sergio listened and start raining lightning infused punches. Inuko watched how Madness openly taken the punches but was barely budging. He was obviously in pain but his durability seem to have increase. Madness then pull his body backwards to bring Tsugo forward while thrusting out his foot to kick Sergio straight in the abdomen that sent him flying backwards. Hito about to whack him with his bat but Madness basically killed two birds with one by spinning his entire body to hit Hito body with a spin kick while swinging Tsugo around. Inuko caught him but was sent swinging around too. He cut away the threads before landing safely on the ground. Naoka then jumped onto Madness back, locking him right in the chokehold. "Naoka's gonna put ugly man to sleep." She had it in tight so it was hard for him to do anything. Sergio then tackled Tsugo on the ground, he then took the chance to lock Sergio in the leg lock to add more pressure onto Madness. Inuko joined in, putting Madness in an arm bar. Madness start to groan in pain.

"ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT! I GIVE UP!"

They didn't listen obviously and tried to knock him out with extreme pain. Thirteen decided to intervene. "Alright! Alright! The test is over!"

"Huh? Test?"

"Yes! A test. Let him go."

They all released him from the joint locks. Madness took off the mask to reveal his face while also taking off his the fondra. He was a middle age man with periwinkle hair with a few strings of gray hair. "Ugh, you kids are tough is hell. Or maybe I'm getting old."

"Who is this guy?" Hito asked.

"Neji Katsuyama." Neji was slowly getting up while being healed by Asuna. "Thanks doc."

Asuna frowned. "Nurse."

Thirteen sighed. "You all did good! But lighten up with the violence! Sure! Self-defense is good but you all nearly broke his limbs!"

"That's no problem. You all pass the test!"

The tension lowered and everyone was cheering and praising each other. The school day ended with Inuko walking home with Sukia. "So, are you seriously gonna ditch our training for someone else? I mean, I'm not saying you shouldn't hang out with others but...seriously?"

Inuko was still angry about Sukia relationship and how she treated Buru because of it. "Why do you care so much?"

Sukia frowned. "Remember, I was your friend before anyone else! At least give me some of your time."

"What about Kashi?"

"He doesn't count, he's friends with everyone."

"Nope! I'm goin-" Before Inuko could finish, a tongue slithered across his cheek. He quickly moved away from whoever, hiding behind Sukia. "Eeek!"

"Bye, Inuko! Naoka can't wait to see you tomorrow!" Naoka sprinted off.

Inuko blushed furiously while Sukia and Buru face went pale. It didn't take a second for Sukia to snap and slam Inuko straight into a building wall. "Wait, Sukia! Her quirk gives her animal-like instincts and features. Licking people is normal to her!"

"I don't care! I'm going to kick your as-"

"Sukia." Buru tapped her shoulder.

"What!" Sukia look over to see a few heroes who were out on patrolling. It didn't bother Sukia, she could always finish this at his house.

Being shoved in his own house, Inuko was chuckling nervously. "Can you calm down? You're forgetting that we met each other two weeks ago?"

While locking the door, she glared at Inuko. "What's that suppose to mean?"

"I-I don't know. You just act like I'm suppose to make you my number one priority or something even though it's been two weeks and a few days since I came to this school." Inuko stated.

Sukia was going to beat him within an inch of his life until he said that. She start to calm down and cross her arms. "If that's the case, why don't we hang out more?"

"We just had a party yesterday and you made me dance..."

Sukia snorted, she still found it funny the way Inuko dance. "Okay, I'll leave you alone if you tell me who the girl that put their number in your phone?"

A sweat drop fell from Inuko's forehead, he didn't understand why he was nervous. It's not like he's doing anything wrong. "What if I don't want to tell?"

"You know me, I'll mess with you until you do." Sukia said, going over to Inuko's parents fridge to find something to eat.

Inuko stood there, fidgeting his hands together. He didn't know what to say, he thought about Yano and thought she wouldn't come? Maybe the note was a joke to him. He however was wrong, it was 30 minutes later someone was knocking onto his door. "Um, who is?" Inuko came to the door.

"It's Yano, open up you tool."

Inuko banged his head on the door, he slowly open up the door. "What are you doin here!" He loudly whispered.

"You said you wanted to meet me, so here I am?"

"So, you're seeing Yano."

Inuko startled by Sukia's voice, he turn to the athletic female with a very frightened expression. "Well..."

Yano sighed and start walking away. "Nevermind, just..."

Sukia didn't even bat an eye when Yano attempted to leave, actually she look satisfied. "Wait, Yano!" Inuko called out. She didn't respond and headed toward the stairs. He didn't want her to leave, not because of Sukia. Yano then felt her hand being grabbed by another.

He was bringing Yano back despite the situation. "Yano is the one who put her number in my phone. Now, you can leave."

"But Inuko, my bestfriend? Really?"

"So what? You're not my mother, elder sister nor girlfriend! So get out!" Inuko raised his voice. It crack up since he was afraid that Sukia was going to blow a fuse.

She didn't know how to respond, she pick up her backpack and left out his apartment. Yano sighed, standing by the door awkwardly. "I knew she'll react that way."

"Did you?"

"Yes. When we hung out, all she did was talk about how cool you were."

That made him blush like almost every compliment. He decided to change the subject to loosen up tension. "So about that note?"

Yano roll her eyes. "Yeah...want to become a couple?"

Inuko saw that coming but this was way too fast, no tension or trust whatsoever. He barely knew her. "But we barely know anything about each other."

"I know that."

"And it forced."

"I know that too."

"I also think you're a douchebag."

"Ugh! Do you want to be one or not?"

"I dunno! I could probably see us as friends? But as a couple? That's way out of my league."

Yano look a bit saddened, she felt like she was getting rejected by the guy who she thought is the lamest kid in class. "So is that no?"

Inuko had to think for a second, he then shook his head no. "No. I could use this social experience. But! We're not going to start off as a couple. First we need to get to know each other and see what we have in common."

"We can start with a date then, I'll be back in a change of clothes." Yano was going to leave again.

Inuko checked out her current attire, she was wearing another small dress except it was more floral pattern. "I think look good now."

Yano stop in front of the door, twisting around her dress. "You sure? I got this really cheap."

"So? I'll be back with a change of clothes."

The two potential couple start walking down the sidewalk, heading straight to a cafe. They both look nervous but Inuko seem eager for this date. "Why did you bring money? You do know I'm rich, right?"

"It's...a moral obligation for the guy to pay for the girl food, right?" Inuko asked.

Yano thought he was right but she wondered how he was an expert. "You're an expert and all. And I thought I'll be doing all the work."

"I've been...learning from romance novels." Inuko muttered. Saying it out in public made him embarrassed. "Go ahead, laugh. I wouldn't care..."

"Why? I read romance novels too."

"Oh...that's normal for you."

Yano took offense to that and shoved near the sidewalk curve. "What are you tryin to say? All girls are into romance novels and such?"

"I think so? My dad always says girls are emotional people. From what I seen, it's kind of true."

"You are so sexist."

"But I think girls are cool."

"You are so perverted."

"I hate you."

It was just a minute later, the two arrived to the cafe, arguing who should pay for their sweets. Eventually, Yano won the argument. They got their table. "So, what are you ordering?"

"I want a Teriyaki Sandwich."

"U-uh same." Yano says.

As they wait, Yano decided to strike up a conversation. "How do you know about this place?"

"Sukia took me here after we left a EJW stadium."

Yano lowered her head when he said her name. Yano felt ashamed that she was going on a date with Inuko, while she known Sukia and Inuko weren't dating or even wasn't talking about it, she figured that Sukia would want some relation with Inuko. But she hated Sukia for that too, Yano knows about Lax since he tends to hang out with Sukia and he was more of a jerk than all the people he despise but Sukia gets angry? "Don't you think this is overwhelming?" Yano spoken up.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you feel scared that something's going to go wrong or something bad is going to happen?"

"You feel that way too? And I thought me and Buru were the only ones felt that way." He replied. Inuko then let out a sigh of relief. "Of course I feel that way, you don't know how bad this school experience has been?"

"Besides Akatsueki default anger and getting food thrown on you. I thought you were doing fine."

"W-well...you are wrong. I've been getting beat up ever since I came here. I've been choked, stomped on. One time, I had to walk in public with a busted face." Inuko admitted. "It was so embarrassing...heroes and people kept asking what happen."

"And did you tell them?"

"N-no...it isn't e-easy. I was afraid of others opinions which everyone has despite who is the victim." Inuko says but then he smiled. "But that's over! I'm going to dismantle anyone who messes with me! And my friends! That includes you, Yano!" He said with enthusiasm.

Yano was surprised by Inuko's sudden change of personality. Actually, she liked it. "Hehehe, you fought Akatsueki once and you think you're on top of the world."

"N-no I don't. I'm just confident in myself..."

After that respond, it became silent. Curious, Yano wanted to see if he had any scars from the abuse he has suffered. She already saw one on the right side of his forehead which explains the bloody face he was talking about. "You got any scars?"

"Scars? The scars I got from getting beat up? Hm..." Inuko pull back his sleeves to show a few cuts here and there. One was stitched up.

"What happen there?" She pointed out the wound that was stitched up.

Inuko then covered them up before anyone else could look at them in disgust. "One of them had a knife and I tried to defend myself but it didn't end well for me."

"Were you stabbed?"

"No...I- um- just- ugh." He groaned. Their food then arrived.

It was in awkward silence, Yano so bad wanted to hear more about Inuko's torment. For some reason, it just filled her with curiosity just thinking about it. After they ate, they decided to continue the date elsewhere. "So, about you getting cut..."

"Yeah, what about it?"

"Did you get stab?"

"No...I guess they had some morals..."

"Did they do anything else like...beat you? Broke your bones?"

"Yes and...I don't know?"

Inuko was hating this conversation, it brought back memories during the 2 week time-skip.

Flashback

By himself, Inuko was enjoying his time at the playground. The fresh air, the blue sky, it fills him with nostalgia. It remained him how much being a kid was like. Then it was ruined. Gehimasu and a bunch of others were filling the park up, being a victim of their assaults, he didn't want anything to do with them. But they followed me and soon chased me down to alleyway. He was in panic, he couldn't activate his quirk. They eventually caught up with him in the middle of an isolated field. "Wait!-"

Gehimasu started off first, punching him right in the jaw. Others that Inuko didn't even know, suckered punch Inuko right in the jaw. "Ack!" Inuko groaned when a metal bat hit him right in his kneecap, it was Crimson obviously who was laughing menacingly. On the ground, he whimpered in pain. He then balled up when they start raining punches and kicks from all directions. A few of them held Inuko up while another could get a few blows to his stomach and jaw. The people that were beating him had masks so their identity wouldn't be found when they post this on the internet. The girls with them were lying, the guys just kept hitting him. One got manage to get a hard jab on his jaw that caused a string of blood to be shoot out his mouth. Inuko then was sent back onto the floor with a blow to the back of his head.

"Hey Gehimasu! How about we cut this fucker's hair off and see how well his 'society life goes.'" One boy brought out a knife. That frightened Inuko terribly and gave him the will to get up but it was so many other guys that were in the way and his leg was hurt from. The knife attacker tried to cut off his hair but Inuko held his hand back which was a bad mistake. It lead to Inuko getting a cut across his chest and another one across arm. It hurted like hell and it could've been worse if a hero didn't find them.

---

A dark shade covering his face, he no longer wanted to talk about this. Yano could tell by his body language that he was hating this conversation. She pointed at the park. "Look, let's continue our date here."

"This is where they found me."

"Scared?" Yano said, tempting him. Inuko sighed and went with her anyway.

Luckily, he manage to get to the best playground ride ever, the swings. Unfortunately, he got the last one, leaving Yano high and dry. "Oh come on! Don't you have any manners? Ladies first."

"When were you born?" Inuko asked.

"January 1st." She replied.

"You're older than me, meaning I should go first."

Yano furrowed her eyebrows in defeat but she didn't give up. "If you're going to be like that..."

Without any permission, she straddle onto his lap while holding on the chains to prevent herself from falling

Inuko blushed furiously. "Get off of me!"

Yano smirked. "No, you either swing us both or we stay here look awkward."

In awe, he could only sit there. Yano dangle her feet, kicking under the seat. "Inuko, are you happy with this date?"

"Of course I am. I just don't want to be reminded of those assholes and what they did to me."

That was the first time he publicly cursed, he was visibly upset about what they did to him.

Yano chuckled nervously.

"I'm sorry. I was just interested in your scars. I have some too."

Yano hold out her right arm to show some cuts, there were many but they look old. "These are old if you can't tell and they're self-inflicted."

"S-self-inflicted? W-why would you cut yourself?"

"Well...do you know that saying when you have a bad image of something, you should try to think of something good? It's similar to that."

Inuko knew what she meant after that statement. He actually thought about doing self-harm to himself after being bullied constantly. "You're so tough, how could you bring yourself to this?" He questioned.

"Its called an act. Sure, it sounds terrible to put out a fake persona but looking and being weak isn't a virtue. Some people take advantage of something frail for either their own amusement or approval of something else...like society. Unfortunately for me, acting tough only lead to me getting embarrassed and hurt even more. Which is why I have these." She then switched over to her other arm to show even more old scars.

"I'm so sorry."

"For what? This was all middle school drama, I'm a lot tougher and can defend myself from those types. Besides, I was showing that you aren't alone."

In an odd way, that cheered him up. Inuko couldn't help to hug her so tightly. "Thank you.

Yano blushed. "So, are we a couple now?"

"Haha! In your dreams!"

Inuko chuckled.

"Just kidding! I do like you more to go on another date with you. So I guess that makes us..." Inuko words trailed off when he saw Gehimasu, Jorge and a few other of his friends was coming to the park, it wasn't really a lot like last time but still. "We should leave."

"Why?"

Inuko pointed at the Gehimasu and his friends. Yano only gave him a small glaze and roll her eyes. "So what? We aren't goin to leave because of those waste of spaces."

Gehimasu stop in front of them, smirking. "You're here again."

Inuko was going to say something until Yano shushed him. "He is. What do you want with him?"

"What don't you shut the fuck up. It has nothing to do with you."

"I don't listen to dickless rodents. Now screw off."

That insult was targeted right at his pride, he lunge at Yano and attempted to grab her but a load of pepper spray headed straight to his face. Screaming in pain, he backed off while coughing his lungs out. Another one of his friend name Suko was going to jump in until Inuko suddenly got out of the swing and knocked him out with a heavy spin kick to the jaw. Knowing Gehimasu was still going to attack possibly later, he took the chance floor him onto the woodchucks with a killer jab, all while having Yano clench onto him. Jorge and the others didn't know what to do, especially Jorge since he was rised in the air by Inuko by the neck. Even though Yano wanted to stay, Inuko didn't despite his attackers looking in awe. "We're gonna leave? The others are cowarding away in fear. If those are your bullies, then it's best if we send a message to them."

"What am I? A gangster. I think they got the message already. And I wanted to have a good social experience, not a death battle."

"Very well then."

They later went back to Inuko's apartment. Inuko rested on the couch beside Yano who was calling for her parents to send a ride. When he glaze at her, he couldn't help to blush. "Ahh~ um! Thanks for sticking up for me earlier."

"No problem~"

Inuko didn't know what to say afterwards, neither did Yano. "We can be a couple now if you want." Inuko suddenly spoken up.

"O-oh? Sure."

"U-Uh! But, l-let's not make it public yet."

Yano knew he would say that. She doesn't mind though considering Sukia was out for Inuko's blood. But what if Inuko doesn't stay fateful because the lack of publicity. A text message then came to her phone, it was from her mother, telling her ride was here. "See you later...boyfriend."

"Bye...girlfriend." Inuko waved her off goodbye. It didn't really go off as he planned to be honest, he thought it would've been like those romance movies or how most people would think a relationship should start. To be frank, he still doesn't know why Yano likes him? Their entire conversation was mainly about them being a victim of bullying. He was falling her though, oddly. Questions for later, he quickly pull out his phone so he could text Sukia. "Oh no, oh no, oh no. Sukia, I'm so sorry!"

Once he got to the inbox, Sukia already sent unread messages.

Sukia: After this program is over.Sukia: Please don't ever fucking talk to me again.

He texted back.

Inuko: I'm sorry for what I did, can I please make it up to you tomorrow? Please, please! I'm so sorry.

While he knows he wasn't at fault, he didn't wanted to lose Sukia. She never respond, Inuko sighed and look around. He just noticed the livingroom was cleaner than ever, did Yuriko clean it? "Yuriko, you are there?"

"In your room."

Inuko flopped back on the couch. "Thanks for cleaning up."

---

They still train at Puro's warehouse, however never together. They still sat together in their homeroom class but they never talk to each other. Their friendship was broken.

---

Next I'm doing the Battle Trial and have other things unraveled. The story mainly about normal things in a superhuman society that could still cause catastrophic problems.
