Review Responses
Annabell242: I did made this story because of that. I just wanted a story of Fem!Mineta, but any genderbend story here are the usual suspects, Izuku, Bakugou and Todoroki. I wanted something else more variety ya feel me. I am a genderbend author so I said to myself why not? It wouldn't hurt to make a fanfiction with Fem!Mineta but she has Filia's (Skullgirls MC) ability with the aftermentioned stickiness once discarded. Plus it's fun to play around with the idea of knowing what she's feeling based on her scent.
So far I have stale grapes if she's sad, rotten raisins if she's depressed, sour grapes if she's mad, grapes if she's neutral, varying level of sweetness based on how happy she is and alcoholic if she's horny it has higher alcoholic content based on how horny she is.
I have thought how Minako's Sticky Hair Quirk would work. So the reason why Minako smells like grapes is that her scalp produce a natural shampoo or conditioner-like fluids that makes her hair always at the top-performance. It just so happens that this fluids produce a grape-like smell. Minako is a plant-like mutant just like her mother.
Ekurman: Think of it as an OC that occupy the space where Mineta should be. I'll change it to OC if it's that weird.
Now, unto the story

Chapter 4: Of Explosions and Grapes

Breathe in...
Breathe out...
Minako calmed herself as she stood in-front of the building where their exercise will take place. It.was a six-story building with the first five floors being a maze-like labyrith with many hollow rooms, places were the bomb can be placed.
"Minako-san, I have a plan." Izuku said.
"I'm listening."

Izuku and Minako were now travesing the maze-like labyrints of the 3rd floor. They quick scan the previous floor but they found nothing.
"Are you sure you can fight him?" Minako asked Izuku as she tugged at his crimson jumpsuit.
"Though, Kacchan's Quirks packs more power and range in his attack. I think my speed and maneuverability is better than his Propulsion based movement. It is good at going very fast in a straight-line. I'll try to capitalize on that weakness."
Minako only nodded at what Izuku said.
"Why does Bakugou call you Deku and why do you call him Kacchan?" Minako asked.
"Oh, that... Well, we used to be friends. I guess it stuck to me, I guess."
"You see, Deku can be read as 出久. Meaning, 'the one who can't achieve/do anything'." Izuku explained.
"I don't see it like that."
"Hm?"
"Deku... It gives off an inspiring feeling like, 'I can do.'." Minako said as she recalled how, Izuku saved her without hesitation in that moment he was the greatest hero she had every seen.
Izuku something sweet in the air. It was the grape scent that Minako had a more tingly feeling to it. Izuku didn't know what it was, but it made him more alert and drawn to Minako...
'BOOM!!!'
Explosion came to view as Bakugou emerged from the corner.
Minako was caught off guard as she was spooked by the sudden explosion that happened.
While, Izuku though a little surprised but he anticipated his childhood friends arrival.
But, he didn't anticipate that Kacchsn was aiming for Minako instead of him. He was going straight at her planning to blast her with his readied palm.
Izuku's Quirk, All for One came to life as an red aura was expelled by his body.
He intercepted his palm and forced it upward by grabbing Bakugou's wrist. But, the explosion still set off, but it wasn't aimed at Minako. Izuku followed with a round-house to Bakugou's face.
Bakugou was knocked back to a wall 4 meters away and violently crashed on it.
Bakugou growled in anger as he recovered immediately after being kicked in the face.
Izuku wasn't unscathed. Half of Izuku's mask and left arm was scorched by the explosion. But, Izuku didn't suffered any burn injury but he immediately discarded the mask.
Minako was knocked to ground by Izuku to avoid her getting hit by the explosion. The purple haired girl was obviously shell shocked by the fast-paced events.
"Tch! Nice kick, Deku. You won't get another chance. You and that pipsqueak won't stand a chance against me no matter strong that Quirk of yours is." Bakugou goaded.
"Minako, go. I'll handle this. Remember the plan." Izuku discreetly said to Minako.
Minako nodded and her came to life as four tendrils formed that formed leg for Minako to move fast than what her leg allowed her.
"No you fucking don't you pipsqueak, I'll fucking kill you and Deku right here." Bakugou went after again to by using his explosion dash.
"I won't let you!" Izuku said as got in-front of Bakugou's path chambering his right fist.
Izuku's punch connected to Bakugou's gut.
"Urk!..."
Bakugou gritted his teeth and grabbed Izuku's jumpsuit. He used his free hand for a explosion dash to the ground.
Bakugou violently slammed Izuku to ground with the momentum of his explosions.
Minako was now out of sight.
Bakugou didn't cared about the small girl his main target is Deku. But, he didn't to deal with that girl's annoying quirk later. After being caught off guard by the Sludge Villain. Bakugou became wary against people with Quirks that could bind him in place. So, he was cautious against Tape Arms and Izuku's girlfriend.
Engine Legs was asking for updates he closed his earpiece because that shit was annoying.
"Oh, how sweet of you to let your girlfriend escape knowing I'd beat the both of you, Deku." Bakugou mocked him.
Izuku sent a kick to his gut getting him off him.
"I won't be your punching bag anymore, Kacchan! I'm the Deku who does his best!" Izuku retorted as he was in a fighting stance.
"Huh! I'll show your place you fucking trash! I'll be the #1 not you or that half and half bitch!" Bakugou said.

"That was so unmanly for Bakugou to sneak attack. But, damn Midoriya is really manly for taking a hit for Minoru just like that." Kirishima commented.
"It is a strategy used by both Heroes and Villains to get the upperhand in a fight. It builds experience to have encounters like these." All-Might said.
The class watched in awe as they watch Izuku and Bakugou trades blow as they fought on equal terms. Bakugou hit harder, but Izuku was tough and attacked smarter.
"It's a shame that we can't hear them though." Mina said.

With Iida
Iida intentionally littered then area with debris destroying some parts of the pillars and strategically placing chunks of the pillar as covers.
Iida had the speed advantage over both of Izuku and Minako. He just have to weave through the pseudo obstacle course he made.
If Izuku comes he'll fight defensively the boy could finish him with his superior strength. Iida must strike when Izuku's guard is down. So a battle of attrition.
If Minako comes he'll have to agressively attack her. From what he observed in the Entrace Exams the girl was versatile with the use of her Quirk and it the annoying part of her Quirk the stickiness when discarded. But, she lacked fast mobility options, offensive and defensive options were alot.
Minako's body was fragile he just indeed to exhaust her hair and it was a checkmate.
'How devilish of you, Iida Tenya.' Iida thought to himself. As he made his best evil villain laugh impresion.
"Muhahahahha!"
"Pfft!" spluttered by Minako as she tried to surpress her laugh.
'He's too into the role.'
"Ah, so you've come Minako-san you, I calculated as much. After, Bakugou left I enacted a counter strategy. I made a labyrinth with the pillars that I broke and hid the bomb. You have no hope in finding it now, surrender now... Hero." Iida instead coming off as a villain is more in the line of a dorky impression of a villain from a Saturday-Morning cartoon.
The bomb can still be seen, though it was still obscured by the fallen pillars.
This elicit a laugh from Minako. She can't take him seriously.
Minako calm herself down and focus at the task given to her by Izuku.
"Izuku, I am on the Sixth-Floor the bomb is located at the top right most corner of the building." Minako discreetly said.
0-0-0
"Got it." Izuku said as he run.
After swapping blows with Bakugou for a while. Izuku began leading Bakugou to where the bomb should be.
Izuku was leaping from wall to wall to. make some distance between him and Bakugou. Everytime Bakugou closed the distance Izuku would maneuver around with his superior agility
"DEKU!!! STOP RUNNING AWAY YOU FUCKING COWARD AND FIGHT ME!!!"
Izuku skidded toa stop once he reached his destination.
"I'm all set, I'll await your signal, Minako-san."
"DEKU!!! You were hidding your Quirk all this time, were you planning this since the start! Were you laughing behind my back because you have this power of yours! Answer me, Deku!"
Izuku had a perplexed look on his face.
"If your aren't going to answer me then I'll just use this on you. My sweat has a nitroglycerin-like compound to make my explosion, if the designers honoured my request that would mean this gaunlet would have been storing my sweat since the start. " Bakugou said as he gestured to the gaunlet.
Bakugou aimed the gaunlet at Izuku's general direction.
"Stop, Young Bakugou you'll seriously injure Young Midoriya!!!." All-Mighy said in the intercoms.
"It wouldn't kill him if it doesn't hit Deku directly."
With a click.
Bakugou pulled the trigger.

Minako is having a lot of trouble dealing with Iida. He was both faster and stronger than her. One or two hits was all that was need3d to knock her out.
Minako try to grab him and trap him. But, that proved to be too difficult. He backstep her atempts to grapple him and pin him in place.
Minako racked up her brain to think of any way to capture him.
She'll try just 'that'.
Minako began moving in circles around the obstacle courses. She did this until her hair was now at shoulder-length.
She stood at the center at the center of the debris of broken pillars.
Minako panted as she kneeled to the ground catching her breath.
"Given up already, Hero?" Iida asked in a villain voice.
"Then, I shall finish you now!" Iida said as he aimed a flying kick at her.
But, the hit never came instead Iida got stuck in-midair.
"What is going on? Why can't I move? Don't tell me?..." Iida didn't noticed it at first, but they was a spider nest-like barrier around Minako. Her detached hairs rapidly losses its luster once it was detached as it begins to becomes sticky. So, the spidernest net was near invisible.
Iida began to struggle against his binds.
"Urrghhh!" The more Iida struggle the more his bindings restricted him exactly like a spider's web traps.
"The tensile strength of my hair is 6 times stronger than the average human. So, those things wouldn't break easily." Minako explained.
Iida stopped struggling lest he suffocate because he thrashed the trap even further. Spider nests are made to be more constricting the more you struggled afterall.
Iida chuckled, "Well played, Minako-san I never thought that you can make something like this. It would seem I sorely underestimated you, Minako-san. I concede my defeated." Iida said with a smile.
Minako had a bashful look on her face. And, chuckled as well.
"Thank you, Iida. I just saw this documentary of a orb-weaver once and tried it with my quirk. Though the first few I made were failures. I got the hang of it after some training. It was like drawing a net with my hair. And, now is the results of my practice." Minako said as she casually walked to the bomb.
"Izuku-kun, I am in position-"
"BOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!"
A gigantic fireball of explosion erupted from the floor where Izuku and Bakugou were they should be.
Minako was knocked back to the ground as the building was shook from the resulting explosion.
"Izuku, do you copy?" Minako asked with concern.
"Izuku! Do you copy!!" Minako repeated with obvious dread in her voice.

Izuku could only hearing the ringing in his ears and a faint and distance voice.
"-uku! Do you co-"
"Izuku!-"
"Do you hear-"
A familiar voice echoes in his ear. The voice sounded so vulnerable and afraid. Afraid of loss. Afraid of losing him.
"DEKU!" It wasn't Bakugou but it was Minako.
Izuku recovered from his dazed state and began having coherent thoughts. He was dazed. The left side of his jumpsuit's torso was completely burnt leaving his left side with mild burns. He discarded the burning jumpsuit and he was left shirtless, but generally fine.
"Minako, I'm fine. What happened to Iida?" Izuku asked.
Nobody responded on Izuku's comms.
"Bakugou you'll be disqualified if you use that attack again." All-Might said in the intercomms.
"No matter, I'll still crush him with my own hands." Bakugou readied his arms for another dash.
"Arrghhhh!!!" A feminine shriek caught Bakugou off guard.
But, before he could move something grabbed his hands. And, slammed him to a wall and began tying him up in hair and wrapping him like a mummy only leaving his nostrils to breathe.
Bakugou's screams of primal rage was muffled by mummy constraint in the form of purple hairs. Bakugou began jumping up and down as he struggled to remove the constraints off of him.
Bakugou's hands were tied in a way where his explosions were harmless. Being exposed and angle to the side of his body resulting in Bakugou being launched wall to wall when he used his Quirk. Heat hardens the hairs making it even more hard for Bakugou to escape.
Bakugou was now a violent exploding stiff mummy that was cussing muffled swears.
Izuku was dumbfounded. While, Minako was huffing from angry and fatigue.
"Hero Team... Win!" All-Might announced.
Minako look towards Izuku as she smile. Then, she loss consciousness.
Izuku was quick to catch her before she made contact to the floor.

The class began laughing out loud at the hillarious to turn of events. They never knew that Minako had in her to do something humilliating.
Sero was uncomfortable after watching the fight. Hin being the guy with the binding Quirk was being outdone by someone who had a better Quirk than himself.
Sero let it go, he wasn't going to worry about the purple girl. He had his strengths and she has hers.
Shouko was more atentive to the small girl. There was something about her that piqued the heterochromatic girl's attention.
"How curious... What form of power is this?" Shouko muttered to herself.
Shouko did her research on all of her classmate's Quirks to know what she's dealing with it.
At first she dismissed Minoru, and now she reconsidered. Two of the Top Students was beaten by the dead-last, single-handedly. She needed to ask her where does her power... Or motivation comes from... At a later date.
Iida was dragging back the Bakugou Mummy to the bunker since both Izuku and Iida decided it was dangerous to unleash the the literally bundle of rage and anger.
While, Izuku was carrying the sleeping Minako on his back.
It was pretty embarssing for Iida since Mono had remove the restraints herself. By making a power saw. Minako wasn't awake to remove them herself
That concludes the First fight of the class.

After Heroic Class, All-Might dismissed them for the day. He had a talk with Bakugou after class.
Minako woke up in the infirmary. She recalled thrashing Bakugou after...
"Deku-kun!" Minako shot up from the bes she was laying on.
'I am in the infirmary...' Minako sighed.
She can't recall anything other the fact he flew into a flying rage after Deku didn't respond for awhile and she derailed the plan to see if Deku was safe.
And, then she tunnel-visioned onto Bakugou. She only thought on how to hurt him for what he did.
Was Deku alright? Is it okay she call Izuku as Deku, a nickname gave by a bully? So many thoughts were that almost didn't noticed the fluffy boy she was talking about was by her side.
He was sitting beside the bed and he was taking a nap by her bedside. He had some bandages that she could see through the gaps of his uniform and his body...
She tried not lewd this boy that had been integrated in her life.
Minako kept looking at his fluffy-looking hair to distract her mind.
She touched his hair.
'It's so fluffy.' Minako thought as she softly caress the boy's hair.
'Snap'
She heard a smartphone ringtone snap of its camera.
"Opsie." Mina said as she snapped a picture with her phone.
A blush formed on Minako's cheeks.
"MINA!!!" Minako she screams as tried to go after.
"Huh... What's going on?" Izuku said as he woke up from his slumber.
Izuku waked up to a Minako who was latching on Mina trying to grab Mina's phone.
"NOTHING!" Minako said.
"O-okay." Izuku stuttered.
Mina just giggled as she dangled her phone above Minako.

After Minako recovered Mina and Izuku brought her back to the classroom.
"Everyone, Mineta's back." Kirishima said.
And the class cheered.
"I didn't know what you were saying but damn you were so manly, Mineta-san." Kirishima said.
"T-thanks, I guess..."
"Damn the things you did with your hair were scary. I won't piss you off in the future so go easy on me." Kaminari said.
"Nice dodging, Midoriya." Sato said as he made a thumbs up.
"Minako-chan, are you alright you went crazy out there and just collapse. I just worried ya' know." Ochaco as eyed Minako for any injuries.
"I'm fine I just got tired for overusing my Quirk, is nothing a good sleep can fix." Minako said with a smile.
"By the way, your accent kinda slip there, Ochaco. it's kinda cute." Mina said as put a shoulder unto Ochaco.
They were praise by their class by from their earlier performances as partners. But, Izuku seems to be trying to find someone.
"What's wrong, Deku-kun?"
Deku... Izuku melancholically though as he remembers its meaning given by Bakugou many years ago. To think someone gave a new meaning to something demeaning into a positive feeling of 'I can do'.
"Nothing just remember something. Anyways, guys have you seen Kacchan?" Izuku asked to the class.
"Oh, he left just now before you two arrived. He was pretty pissed after All-Might's lecture about responsibility or something." Kirishima explained.
"I see, then I'll go after him and have a talk-" Before Izuku could leave the classroom something tugged at his sleeve.
It was Minako with a concerned look.
"Are you sure its wise to leave you with a literal bomb with a short fuse, Deku. I mean why not wait til everythings cooled down before you to talk to him or better yet don't talk to him at all." Minako suggested as her voice filled worry and concern.
"Mineta-san, its fine really I know Kacchan wouldn't try to harm someone without a good reason."
"Stop defending him, Izu-kun. He's just an asshole." Mina said to him.
"I need to do this or else he'll just take this to heart and be more agressive. I know how he act since we were kids." Izuku reassured Minako.
"I don't know Baka-gou like you do, Izu-kun. So say whatever you want to say. I can't really change your mind about it, right?" Mina shrugged.
Izuku nodded.

Izuku could see Bakugou just outside UA's gate and he ran after him.
"Kacchan!" Izuku as a he huffed after running.
"Huh!" Katsuki angrily hummed.
"I can't tell you much. But, you should at least know... My Quirk I got it from someone else."
"I know it doesn't make sense and what saying might sound crazy. I wasn't looking down on you, I just this power for awhile and I'm getting a hang of it. Kacchan I will surpass you!" Izuku declared.
"Tch! You aren't making any fucking sense. I lost thats all there is to it." Katsuki admitted.
"I-"
"Nothing! I won't underestimate you or that purple pipsqueak. Or that Ice Princess. I don't fucking care where you got those powers. Just you wait and see I'll stomp all of you!" Katsuki said with a very agressive but competetive look on his eyes.
Katsuki left, leaving no room for Izuku to respond.

"Fucking Deku with his fucking bullshit." Katsuki grumbled.
He was currently riding a train to home and after a day losing to Deku. He was pissed, livid even. Not only did he tied with Deku since the start of UA from Entrance Exams to the shitty test by Aizawa. Now, he lost to him or some nobody he didn't know about.
His frustration didn't end there. Ice Princess had to one up him since Day One.
The train was starting to cramp up as more people filled.
Now fate was fucking him over. The fucking Ice Princess was just cramp with him of all people he could meet.
"..." Shoko just silently stared at him.
Katsuki growled.
Their bodies were touching and they were just a few inches away from lip contact.
Katsuki noticed a suspicious person behind Shoko. He looked like a fat middle aged man eyeing up Shoko.
"Damn it." Katsuki grabbed her wrist and force on the corner he was on. Shielding her from leechers. Katsuki won't hesitate to drop-kick a girl but he wasn't heartless enough abandon one. He had a mother, albeit a brash and crude one.
Katsuki looked back and the fatso fucked off.
"..." Shoko didn't say anything or reacted. She just stared at him with a curious expression.
"The hell's wrong with you?" Katsuki said under his breath.
"Is this what you do in trains grab someone and put them in a corner? Interesting..." Shoko didn't sound offeneded. Any othet girl would have slapped or screamed at him.
"No! You popsicle brain, I was protecting you from a molester." Katsuki said under his breath.
"But, I can freeze him with my Quirk." Shoki listlessly said.
"No that's illegal, you'll get a permanent record if you did."
"I see..." Shoko yawned.
"You're warm..." Shoko said as she casually leaned on Katsuki's chest.
"Oi, what are doing!" Bakugou asked as he was starting to get flustered by Shoko's brazen actions.
She was sleeping on him.
Katsuki caught her before she fall.
"Fuck."
Katsuki moved her out of the train on the next stop. He carried piggy-back style and laid her on a train station bench.
He gently laid the now sleeping girl on his lap.
She was cool to the touch or she felt cold in general. Katsuki started to noticed that she had frostbites around her general skin. But, it was starting to melt as she rest on his lap.
After half an hour, Shoko decided to stir awake not shocked waking up to a fuming Katsuki.
The sun was about to set.
"Took you long enough." Katsuki said.
"Forgive me, I was just a little tired." Shoko said as she rubbed the sleep off her eyes and strecthed her arms.
"Thank you, Bakugou-san." Shoko formally bowed.
"Ice Princess be careful next, you're lucky I didn't anything to you."
"Hmm, I suppouse you would accompany in the train now?" Shoko asked.
"Huh! The hell are you talking about?!"
"It was my first time riding a train and I have yet to learn many things about the city." Shoko said.
"Admitedly, I'm lost can you help me find this address?" Shoko gave Katsuki a paper for the address.
"You're an idiot, you were heading to Masutafu's suburban area this address is from City Central. You took the wrong train." Katsuki explained, albeit a little angrily.
"Ah, I see... I'll head there now... Thank you." Shoko said.
"No, you fucking don't! I'll take you there and make sure you aren't because of your airheadedness." Katssuki said.
"... Very well."

The trip to City Central was tame, but it wasn't that enjoyable for Katsuki. His mom was constantly ringing his phone, he mute that shit. Shoko was annoying to deal with, to say the least.
She kept on asking common sense question and Katsuki just realize this girl was so pampered that she didn't even know what a crepe was.
So, they had to fall in line to crepe store. Katsuki just watch as she was going through different emotions as she was eating the sweet strawberry crepe. Shock, wonder and a sense of happiness.
After that the pair came upon a gigantic mansion that had a traditional Japanese aesthetic to it.
Complete with wall and giant double door that read the kanji for Todoroki.
Now, she was a rich kid and had a powerful quirk. Katsuki was pretty pissed. But, he didn't lash out at the pampered girl.
He instead just agrily drank his green tea he bought from a nearby vending machine.
"There you are, Shoko. I told you to wait for me at the station. Mom and I were worried sick." A woman said.
Bakugou could only describe her as a bigger Ice Princess. With red hair dotted around her white hair instead of pure white hair.
"Fuyumi-nee, forgive me... I was hanging out with a friend like you said."
"When did I say we're friends?" Katsuki said with a toned down voice.
"We are not?" Shoko asked as she tilted jer head looking at Bakugou with a dumb stare.
"I just can't stand ditsiness." Katsuki scoffed as took a swig from his green tea.
"Ummm, Shoko who is this boy?" Fuyumi asked as eyed Katsuki.
"He is now my boyfriend." Shoko said with a straight face.
Katsuki spilled whatever he was drinking from the declaration of the airheaded girl by his side.
"But you just met this boy? What happened?" Fuyumi asked.
"Is it weird that I have a friend that is a boy?" Shoko asked.
"Oh, I see you phrase that wrong. I'll say what did wrong later for go inside."
Shoko simply nodded.
Fuyumi sighed.
"That girl is truly a handful piece of work." Fuyumi said.
"Your name?" Fuyumi asked the still shocked Katsuki.
Katsuki shook himself and calm himself.
"Katsuki Bakugou."
"Then, I am Fuyumi Todoroki. I am very sorry if my sister bothered you. She can be an airhead sometimes and say or do thing that she thought was correct."
"Yeah, sometimes... I'll go now..." Katsuki shrugged.
"I want to thank you for dealing with her antics." Fuyumi said.
"Sure." Katsuki boredly said as he walked out of sight.
After that weird encounter with the Ice Princess, Katsuki was berrated by his mother for being out late. Katsuki never wants to be associated with that airheaded Ice Princess, again.
End
