OKAY UM.
SO HERE YOU GO. AND UHM.
Later on in this chapter things get a bit dark...
so I'm gunna let ya'll know right now,
if you have issues with trauma or anything here is your warning.
***TRIGGER WARNING***
Just saying, read at your own caution, alright?
"Rescue..." Izuku looked up at the screen with wide eyes as she saw people moving about towards the ruined sectors of the former battlefield. She bit her lip as she watched, before the examiner Mera spoke over the intercom again.
"As bystanders enter the disaster site, we'll be having you all conduct rescue maneuvers! We will test your ability to adequately carry out rescue operations."
"There are people..." Uraraka came up beside Izuku, who had her fists clenched as she watched the screen. People from the elderly to small children were climbing on the rubble of buildings and other disaster areas.
"These individuals have gone through all sorts of training and are now much sought after, They're all apart of HUC, short for 'Help Us Company'. Disguised as normale injured victims, members of the HUC are scattered throughout the battlefield on standby. All of you will be carrying out their rescues. What's more, all of your rescue activities will be scored on a point system. By the time we've completed all he activites, those who axceed the average value will pass. We will be starting in ten minutes."
Izuku watched the screen nervously, and had an eerie familiar feeling. She bit her lip, a nervous sweat dripping down her cheek.
"Hey, are you alright...?" Iida was beside her now, but she kept her eyes on the screen as her friends looked at her worriedly.
"Yeah... I just..." She looked down at her hands for a second, "... I think they're modelling this after Kamino..." She clenched her hands into fists as the others in their class gathered around.
"... Back then we were concerned with not getting in the way of Pro's..." Iida looked up at the screen, before back down at her. "There were many, many casualties..."
"... Let's do our best." Izuku looked up at Iida, a serious look in her eyes before she looked at the others.
"hey, isn't that the guy who had you cornered earlier?" Sero asked from behind Todoroki and Kaminari. He pointed across the room, and Izuku turned her head to see the blonde boy from Shigetsu wearing his tight body suit again. Todoroki, Kirishima and Urarak both stepped forwards, the look of murder in their eyes. "Oh... uh..."
"Guys!" Izuku cried out as she grabbed onto the backs of her friends with Iida. "Don't! We're in the middle of a test!" Izuku looked up at Uraraka whose head snapped around, a dark glare in her eyes.
"No one corners our Deku, and gets away with it. Especially not some naked guy," Izuku could see flames in her friends eyes as she looked back at her.
"His time has come..." Todoroki said with a dead pan tone as he held up his left hand.
"Todoroki, contain your anger!" Iida said with a worried look. "His behavior was improper, I agree! But this is not for us to handle with violence!"
"Tell that to him." Todoroki pointed at Katsuki who got up, the look of hell flames in his eyes as he glared at the Shigetsu boy. Izuku started to panic as she let go of Kirishima and Uraraka, to stand in his way.
"Kacchan, please... this isn't the time..." She looked up at him worriedly as he glared at the other boy.
"I don't care, I'm going to kill him." Katsuki said with a growl as he put his hands on her shoulders to move her out of the way. Izuku put her hands on his, and used her strength quirk to push back at him and they both locked gazes. "Why are you stopping me?! He was creeping on you!"
"Because there's a time and place!" Izuku cried out to him, and looked over nervously at the boy, as she felt his gaze on the back of her neck. Her eyes widened as she saw him brighten up and smile at her, waving before blowing a kiss in her direction.
"KILL HIM!" Uraraka cried out, pointing at the formerly naked opponent, and it was Yaoyorozu's turn to hold her back.
"Oi, they're coming this way..." Kaminari said nervously as the Shigetsu group approached them. Izuku looked over nervously at the group and she could feel Katsuki vibrating with anger under her hands. She looked up at him, before throwing her arms around him in a tight hug, using her strength quirk to keep his arms pinned at his side.
"HEY! LET GO OF ME!" He shouted in anger, but Izuku knew if she let go, some one might actually die.
"Hello there," A boy covered completely in hair stood at the front. "We're formally apologizing on behalf of our Kemi, for running about the battlefield naked," The boy bowed to them politely. "We heard he was a bit closer to one of your female classmates than he should have been."
"Soooorry." The boy they now learned was named Kemi called out from behind the boy covered in hair. Izuku felt a nervous sweat on her face as Katsuki continued to to push her off and pry free from her tight quirk hug. "But she was just so cute, I couldn't help myself..." He winked at Izuku and she felt her blood run cold.
"FUCK YOU! I'LL KILL YOU!" Katsuki snapped over the class before Kirishima and Uraraka slid in between the other school and Katsuki. Their eyes were glaring at the boy who was intruding on Izuku, flames of rage dancing inside of them.
"Apologize properly, don't egg them on." The boy covered in hair said as he put a hand on Kemi's head. "I don't know whats gotten into you today..."
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself." Kemi said with a grin that made Izuku pale and look any where else but at him.
"If it happens again though, we will retaliate..." Todoroki was next to Kirishima and Uraraka now, a serious look in his eyes as he too glared at the boy, before looking up at the one covered in hair. "... Just a warning..."
"We acknowledge it... Thank you. We'd prefer to have a good relationship with Yuuei than one of distrust. We apologize." The boy said again with a bow, "Well then, let's go." He turned with the rest of his class, and Todoroki looked up at the boy from earlier, Inasa.
"Hey you, with the crew cut." He called out and the rest of class 1-A looked at him nervously. "Did I do something to you...?"
"Oooh?" The tall eccentric boy from this morning turned around to look down at Todoroki, his eyes glaring. Izuku watched worriedly with the others as the boys made eye contact. "My apologies... Truth is, Endeavor's Boy... I hate you both. Since that time, it looks like your demeanor has changed a little, but those eyes of yours are just like Endeavor's."
The whole class was silent as the boy turned around to follow after his class, and Izuku could feel the cold front rolling off of Todoroki, before Izuku felt Katsuki rumble with rage in her arms.
"LET. GO!" He shouted, and Izuku stepped back, pulling her arms from him as she looked up at him nervously. He looked back down at her, his eyes angry. "TCH." He clicked his tongue before he turned away from her. Izuku felt nervous at seeing the familiar angry look directed her once again, and she rubbed her arm with her hand, looking at the ground. "You should have fucking let me pound him! That kind of guy doesn't know when to stop!"
"I'm sorry... I just want you to get your license too..." Izuku said, staring down at the ground. She felt a bit bad, she knew he just wanted to stand up for her, but this really wasn't the time...
She jumped as a blaring siren went off around the room, and she looked around, trying to stay calm as she remembered this was just apart of the test.
"VILLAINS HAVE COMMITED AN ACT OF TERRORISM! THE AFFECTED AREA IS THE ENTIRETY OF XXX-CITY! THE DESTRUCTION OF NUMEROUS bUILDINGS HAVE RESULTED IN A LARGE NUMBER OF VICTIMS! THE DAMAGE TO ROADS IS SEVER! THE FIRST RESPONSE EMERGENCY UNITY WILL BE CONSIDERABLY LATE TO ARRIVE!"
Izuku looked around the room as it began opening up like the last one had, and she clenched her fists tightly as she nodded to her friends who were near by her.
"UNTIL THEY ARRIVE, ALL RESCUE ACTIVITES ON SITE WILL BE LEFT TO HEROES COMMAND! SAVE EVERY LIFE YOU CAN!"
Izuku had no time to think about Katsuki being angry with her, she had a job to do. She activated One for All and took off with the others at a run into the battlefield. She had to do this properly, there were a lot of mistakes that could be made when helping the injured... She needed to follow her training... She could hear the shouts of others as she looked around for victims that might need help. She watched as Katsuki blasted off in a different direction, and felt horrible in the pit of her stomach. She turned her head as she heard crying ahead of her, and slid to a stop, before heading towards him.
"H-HELP MEEE!" he boy wailed out, and Izuku analyzed him with her eyes, seeing the signs of blood on his head. "OVER THERE! GRANDPA OVER THERE HE GOT CRUSHED!" Izuku hurried to him and dropped to her knee. She slapped herself in the face to rid her thoughts of her boyfriends anger, she had a job to do...
"It's alright!" She told him and saw he was still crying. "Come on, it's all right..! We will save your grandpa, but you look like need help, so come here.." she smiled at him and held out her arms. The boy continued to wail and she looked back at Uraraka and Iida. "Hey I'm gunna take him to the first-aid, you guys go ahead."
"You sure?" Uraraka asked curiously as she saw Izuku pick up the boy in her arms.
"Of course, We have a job to do." Izuku said with a grin, before she took off to the first aid area she heard the others yelling about. She looked up ahead as she saw the treatment area, before smiling down at the boy as she hugged him to her chest. "We're almost there! We'l get you fixed up, alright?"
"An Angel..." The boy said in her arms, and Izuku felt a nervous sweat on her cheek as she looked up at all the people around them, before a girl stopped her asking to see the boy.
"Oh uhm..." She set him down to his feet, and kept a hand on his shoulder to make sure he was steady. "He's got a head injury by the looks of it, and is bleeding a lot... but the wound doesn't appear deep, and his responses are normal..." Izuku looked up at the girl as she moved the boy to the right. She smiled as she stood up, about to run off to help more people, before she heard a loud explosion come from near by on the stadium wall. "WHAT?!" She whipped around to look at the situation, the explosion sound was unfamiliar, Her eyes widened as she saw a man who looked like an Orca Whale step through the wall with many people dressed in back body suits. "Another act of terrorism...!" She shouted as she watched them for a second. "That's Gang Orca! He's currently ranked number 10 as a hero..."
"WITH THE APPERANCE OF THE VILLAINS, THE PURSUIT AS BEGUN! HERO CADETS WHO ARE ON LOCATION, YOU MUST SUPRESS THESE VILLAINS AND CONTINUE TO CARRY ON YOUR RESCUE EFFORTS!"
Izuku felt her face pale as she looked back at the first aid space behind her, before whipping her head around to look back at Gang Orca. She had to defend the injured while others treated them. She clenched her fists. She was the only one in the immediate area, she looked around for some one else, spotting no one, before the pretend villains ran towards her at top speed.
"EVACUATE!" She shouted over her shoulder as people began moving. "GET EVERYONE OUT OF HERE!" she turned her head around again, as she narrowed her eyes at the opponents closing in. She charged her whole being with One for All, pulling her fist back. She hesitated as she remembered last time she used her fists, the pain.. her fingers broken... could she handle just one punch? In that second some one sped past her. "SHINDOU?!"
"I'll greet them with some one second interval quakes!" He shouted at her, before slamming his hands on the ground. She felt the earth quake under her from behind him, her eyes still on his back, before Gang Orca got in close to the boy. He use his quirk creating a sound wave attack. She saw Shindou was paralyzed and she shot forwards, reaching her hand out as she made eye contact with the Whale of a man. She grabbed onto the back of Shindou's costume, before she got a flash of movement from her right. She slammed her feet into the ground, gripping tightly to the boys outfit before she kicked off the ground into the air, pulling Shindou with her as Ice came crashing in from the side. She landed on the ground, dropping the boy in her hands as she looked up to Todoroki from the far right.
"HEY MIDORIYA! YOU OKAY?!" She turned her head around again as she saw Oijiro with Ashido and Tokoyami.
"Evacuations!" Izuku cried out, and pointed at the first aid section. "We need to get everyone out of here while we hold off the villains..." She turned to look at the others as they nodded their heads to her. "I'll assist here and defend until everyone is out of here..." She turned her head to see some pretend villains coming their way. "Hurry!" She shouted at her classmates, before she ran to deal with the three who were coming this way. She knew that a large presence like Gang Orca would draw focus, and others would forget about the smaller villain type. She brought her left fist back, charging her power into it. She couldn't be afraid in a time like this... She let loose a punch, the force of which sent her opponents tumbling back. She looked around for others, before spotting some one coming in from the air. She recognized it as Inasa, and felt a nervous sweat on her cheek as he used his quirk to sweep away many villains at once, before shouting down the group. She looked to Todoroki with worry, seeing the irritation on his face as both boys looked at each other in shock.
She looked down at Shindou who she had left on the ground a little to close to the battle, and felt a bit worried. She should have taken better care of him... She hurried towards him, keeping her eyes out for other pretend villains, before looking up to see Todoroki and Inasa both attack Gang Orca with wind and fire at the same time, missing their opponents. She could hear them yelling at each other and arguing about Endeavor... She heard the words she was sure were the worst spoken to Todoroki, about how much he was like his father... The two boys continued to argue as they used their quirks again, causing another attack to miss and...
"Shit!" She cried out as she ran at Shindou quickly and reached out to him. The flames were coming in quickly because of the wind, but she managed to grab him by the arms, and she kicked off the ground in time, pulling Shidnou to safety as she looked back at the arguing boys.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU TWO THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" she screamed back at them as she slid to a stop with Shindou in her arms like a princess now. "GROW UP AND STOP ARGUING! FOCUS ON YOUR JOB!"
Her eyes widened as she saw Gang Orca approach Todoroki with speed, and knock Inasa out of the air with his sound wave attack. Both her friend and Inasa were hit with concrete guns from the fake villains. Inasa hit the ground with a blast of wind, and she could see Todoroki was paralyzed. She then turned her head to see the lesser fake villains take the opportunity to come running her way. "CRAP! CRAP CRAP CRAP! WE'VE BEEN BREACHED! THEY'RE COMING!" She shouted ahead at the evacuation team, and put some distance between herself and the villains. She turned around in a sliding stop, "HURRY! I'LL STOP TH-"
"OUTTA MY WAY!" She felt the guy in her arms jerk and move down to slam his hand on the ground. She looked down at Shindou, before up at the resulting earth quake in front of her as she let him get to his feet.
"I thought you couldn't move because of Orca's sound waves!" Izuku looked down at him with surprise.
"I'm numb from my fingers to my toes, that's for sure..." She saw a scary look in the boys eyes as he kept his eyes forwards. "Sound waves... due to recoil from our quirks, our brains get shaken up every day. So I've built up a bit of resistance... But I was planning on hitting them with a surprise attack you know? Then those two idiots had to come in and ruin it!"
"Uhm..." Izuku felt nervous as she saw the dark look in his eyes as he shook with anger. He had seemed so nice earlier in the day, but she realized his personality was definitely a 180 from before...
"I've shut down their movements!" He ooked up at her with serious eyes, and Izuku felt her muscles crackle with energy, as she turned her head to look at the villains. "It's up to you to take them out completely, let's split up and evacuate the rest of the victims!"
"Got it..." Izuku pulled her hood up, and narrowed her eyes at her opponents. "I'll take it from here then!" She sped off, using her quirk to power her speed. Her eyes looked up to see an amazing fire tornado in the distance where gang orca was. She smiled, knowing Todoroki finally smartened up as she saw the wind assisting the fire. "Alright... SUPRESS THE VILLAINS!" She shouted as she shot up over some rubble, and used her right leg to kick three villains out of the way. She spun on her left, before kicking off from the air and bringing her feet down powerfully with a boom as she took out 10 more with a blast of power. She put her hands on the ground, and looked ahead of herself, seeing the villains with their cement guns, before Oijiro came out of no where to assist her, She grinned happily at him, before she turned to deal with some more, bringing her right fist back as she clocked a villain in the jaw. She looked up as she heard Ashido and Tokoyami come crashing onto the scene as well. She continued on towards the fire tornado, looking up at it worriedly. She dove to the ground and rolled under some Villains legs, before she popped back up to her feet, seeing more and more students coming onto the scene. She could hear others confirming that rescue operations were almost complete...
Her eyes widened as she heard a powerful sound wave from Gang Orca that dissipated the fire tornado. She kicked off the ground with all her power and took high to the air. She was behind the villain, his focus was on Inasa and Todoroki... "GET AWAY FROM THEM!" she screamed out as she brought down a powerful kick towards the powerfu hero playing villain. She felt his arm block her, and she glared at him, before a blaring signal blasted through her ear drums.
"All stationed members of the HUC have been rescued from the crisis area! This may be considerably selfish of me, but with that I must bring these provisional license examinations to a close!"
"IT'S OVER?!" Izuku cried out in surprise as she dropped to the ground with a thud. She sat up instantly and looked around at Inasa and Todoroki.
"After we tally the scores, I will present the results of the examination to you all here. Those who have suffered injuries please direct yourselves to the medical office. The rest of you, please change back into your normal clothes and await further instructions, thank you."
She helped Todoroki get up from the concrete he was in, and she smiled at him worriedly. "Are you okay...?"
"I'm fine..." Her friend looked away from her with a sad look in his eyes, and Izuku frowned as she watched him hobble off to get changed. She frowned as she looked around at the others, before heading off to change back into her uniform as well.
"Oh my god, that was so stressful!" Uraraka sighed out tiredly as Izuku caught up with the others. "And you! Do you always have to aim for the biggest guy out there?!"
"Ah... Uhm..." Izuku looked away from her nervously. "No not always... Besides that, I wonder how we did? I think we did pretty good." Izuku laughed nervously, trying to change the topic.
"Times like these are the worst..." Jirou said with a nervous sweat as they exited the girls change room.
Izuku looked around at the others, and spotted an angry Katsuki. He was standing with Kirishima and Kaminari, and his eyes looked up at her. She felt her chest tighten a bit before she approached him. "Kacchan... how did you do?"
"We rescued a bunch of people!" Kirishima said with a grin to her as he pointed at himself Kaminari and Katsuki. "We were helping them out when we heard that explosion earlier, and..." Kirishima grinned at Katsuki widely. "Wanna know what he said...? Huh?"
"I'LL KILL YOU." Katsuki glared at the red head and held up a crackling fist.
"He said, I gotta go help Izuku, that idiot is definitely in the center of that!" Kirishima grinned at her broadly, "But he got stuck helping an old woman instead, grumbling that it was what you'd do before going to help friends! But he was right! You were all up in Gang Orca's business back there!"
"Ah uhm..." Izuku looked away from the stern glare Katsuki was shooting her way. "Well he was attacking Inasa and Shouchan, so I had to stop him..." She said with a nervous smile as she avoided eye contact. "The victims were safe so..."
"Still, that kick was out of this world!" Kaminari clapped a hand on her shoulder. "You really worked hard!"
"Thanks..." Izuku smiled shyly up at the other boys, before looking to Katsuki nervously as he continued to glare at her. She felt a nervous sweat on her cheek as she looked down at her feet. She knew he was still mad about earlier when she held him back from beating up that Kemi from Shigetsu.
"Attention, could we have all remaining examinees gather to the stage please!"
Izuku looked up at the stage, and felt Kirishima directing her that way. She followed along with the boys as the rest of their class gathered around in a group to hear the results. They all looked to the still tired looking Mera who leaned over his podium.
"Hello again, and thank you for waiting. You have all worked hard and I will now begin by presenting the results. But before that, I have a few words. In terms of how we went about evaluating you, between us members of the hero public safety commission and our colleagues from the HUC, we had two systems of point deduction. In short... We were examining bot the nature and quality of your conduct in situations of crisis. The names of those who passed will be displayed here in alphabetical order. With that in mind, please go ahead and review your results."
Izuku felt all of her nerves of anxiety boil in her stomach as she started to sweat nervously. She looked up at the board, and started searching for her name where it should be in the order... She slowly looked down the list, not sure if she wanted to find out...
"I did it..." Izuku muttered out, not believing the screen. "I-I passed..." She spun around, her eyes wide as she looked to Katsuki. "I DID IT!" She cried out happily, "What about you?!"
"... I passed..." Katsuki said with a disbelieving look on his own face as well.
"YESSS!" Izuku cried out loudly as she threw her hands in the air. She felt a pair of arms wrap around her and she looked back at Uraraka who was grinning broadly. Iida and the others behind her all smiling. "EVERYONE! DID YOU ALL PASS?!"
"YESSS!" they cried out before Iida looked a bit grim, and glanced back at Todoroki who was staring at the screen with a hardened look.
"... It looks like Todoroki's name isn't up there..." He said in a solemn tone, and Izuku looked over at him as well, feeling a bit down from that news.
"Shouchan...?" Uraraka let her go as she approached their classmate and friend. Todoroki looked over at her before some one shouted from his other side.
"TODOROKI!" Inasa shouted loudly as he approached, and glared down at the smaller boy, before bowing at his hips, his head hitting the ground again. "I'M SORRY! You failing to pass... It was all my fault! My lack of heart is entirely to blame! FORGIVE ME!"
"I-Inasa...?" Izuku looked down at the boy worriedly as she saw a bit of blood on his head again. The rest of the class was completely silent from the sight of the strange eccentric boy.
"... From the very beginning, this was a result of seeds which I had sown..." Todoroki's voice shocked Izuku as she looked over at him. "So cut that out. You really gave it to me straight, and thanks to that, there were some important things I came to realize..."
Izuku watched the two boys worriedly as the class whispered among themselves. She looked back at the others nervously, before looking to Todoroki again. She was worried for him... He was the only one not to pass...
"Ahem," everyone looked up to the stage again as Mera spoke. "All participants should have been able to confirm the results, yes? Moving along, we will distribute some hand outs. The specifics of your scoring are described there in great detail, so please look them over carefully."
"WAHAHAH! Bakubro only scraped by with 62 points!" Kirishima laughed loudly as he looked over his score. Katsuki looked at him with a glare, before the other class got a look at their scores as well.
"Whooooa! Momo-chan got 94!" Jirou shouted in in surprise as she looked at Yaoyorozu's test paper. Izuku smiled at all her friends, the scores varying extremely.
"I got 69 points," Uraraka said with a sigh, before she looked over at Izuku as she received her paper. "Izuchan, what did you get...?" she asked curiously and Izuku paled as she stared at the paper in her hand. "I-IZUCHAN?! WHAT'S WRONG?!"
"... 97..." She said in a small voice, her hands trembling as she held the paper. "... I-I... This is a mistake... right...?" She stared at the number on her paper in disbelief. "H-How...?"
"HOLY CRAP!" Kaminari and Kirishima shouted loudly as they looked at her score paper and took it from her hands. Ashido joined in with Sero to take a look, before the others leaned it to see.
"That's a near perfect score! Better than Momo's!" Jirou shouted as she looked with Yaoyorozu. "You only got one deduction... Hesitation for a punch towards villains... HOW CRAZY!"
"Oh my god..." Izuku sunk to her knees as she stared at the ground in disbelief. Was this real? Had she really got such an amazing score...? "Wh-what... This is heaven isn't it...? I died back there for sure... there's no way that I did better than Momo-chan... She's so calculating and smart..."
"Well you did take control of some pretty high stress situations..." Oijiro said with a smile down at her. "The others and I weren't sure what to do when we came on the first aid scene... You analyzed the situation, before you gave us direction, and saved that Ketsubutsu kid twice, then yelled some sense into Todoroki and Inasa. I'd say you were pretty cool headed all around."
"Don't say that...!" Izuku cried out in embarrassment as she put her hands on her face and pressed her forehead to the ground as she blushed all over.
"Whaaaa! She's going to implode!" Uraraka cried out in hysterics before she leaned down next to Izuku to help her up.
They stuck around as Mera gave his closing speech to the whole group. Izuku was still shaking as she stared at the number on her exam sheet, still not believing the number on it. She hesitated in a punch... She looked at her right hand, and frowned at it before clenching it into a fist.
"Well, I guess it's good that you can retake the test in march!" Kirishima said with a beaming smile to Todoroki as they waited to receive their license cards.
"Yeah," Todoroki looked at the rest of them, and smiled in his own way. "I'll catch up to you all real soon."
The headed for the bus together as a class after receiving their license cars. Izuku was staring at hers happily as she read her hero name on it. She was so excited, she was getting closer to her goal and dream. She beamed warmly at it and felt tears in her eyes.
"Why are you crying?" She looked up to see Katsuki looking down at her. She swallowed the sudden lump in her throat as she saw he was still a bit upset with her.
"Uhm... Well I..." Izuku looked back down at her card and stopped. "... I've been helped out by so many people... Even you Kacchan, and I cause a lot of trouble too... but here I am..." She looked up at him again, smiling brightly. "This is proof that I'm growing, that I'm getting closer to my goal, so I'm... I'm just so happy!" She said happily before she pulled out her phone. "I've gotta show my mom and All Might right away!" She said happily as she took a picture of her license and sent it off to the people in mention.
"Hey..." Katsuki got her attention again, and he looked down at her as she looked up at him. "... You did amazing out there..." He told her in a small voice, before he leaned in and kissed her lips quickly.
"K-Kacchan..." Izuku looked up at him, blushing a bright red as he stared into her eyes.
"I'm still mad though," He told her with serious face. "And when I see that guy again I'm gunna kill him no matter what."
"Uhm..." Izuku felt a nervous sweat on her cheek as he walked off to get on the bus. She didn't blame him, she was severely creeped out by that Kemi guy, but she had to shake it off. It's not like the schools were close to each other...
"HEY! LET'S HAVE A PARTY TO CELEBRATE!" Ashido cried out to the class as they got on the bus. Izuku looked nervously over at Todoroki who looked up at the pink girl. "Ah... Sorry Todoroki..."
"It's alright, you all deserve to celebrate, I hope you don't mind me celebrating as well." He said, giving his half smile to the girl. "You all worked hard."
"WHAAAA! WHAT A GREAT GUY!" Sero cried out from his seat, and the class all cheered loudly. Izuku laughed a bit as she sat back in her seat, excited about that idea.
When the class got back to the dorms, they all got changed into some casual clothes. Izuku pulled on a pair of capris and a light blue blouse with short sleeves, before she headed down stairs to see everyone already starting to party. She laughed as she pulled out her phone to look at it, wondering if All Might had checked his messages yet. She looked up, and saw that even Katsuki was joining in, sorta. He was forced to sit on the couch with Kirishima as Denki and Jirou set up Kararoke for them all. Izuku laughed a bit, before she put her hand in her pocket and felt it clack against something in there. She pulled out the GPS device again and gave it a nervous smile, was this thing a magnet? She shoved it back in her pocket before she went to get herself a glass of juice.
"Whaaa! Let's do Uptown funk!" Uraraka cried out as she took the microphone from Jirou and began singing enthusiastically. Izuku leaned on the back of a couch behind Asui and Tokoyami as she watched with a warm smile while everyone celebrated their licenses.
"We're almost out of chips..." Asui said with a kero, most of the class had started singing a group song, and Izuku looked at the bowls of snacks.
"I'll go check the cupboards." The green haired girl with with a smile as she went to the kitchen. She looked around at all the cupboards, but not one had any more snacks in it. "Oh, we're out..." She frowned as she opened up the fridge now too, and remembered they hadn't gone shopping yet. She let out a sigh before she went back into the room. "Hey Tsutsu, I'm going to run out to get more snacks." she said with a smile, "I'll be right back, alright?"
"It's late, let me go with you." Tokoyami looked up at her and Izuku nodded her head.
"Alright," Izuku grinned at him before the two of them slipped out of the dorms unnoticed by the others. Izuku let out a sigh as she walked to the store with Tokoyami, it was pretty quiet because none o their loud classmates were around.
"Let's just slip in here and grab some snacks. We can go shopping after school tomorrow properly." Izuku said with a big smile as she pointed at a convenience store. They split up to grab some bags of chips and juice separately. Izuku was crouched down to grab a bag when she saw a pair of sneakers near her in her peripherals. She looked up, and was surprised to see Katsuki there. "Kacchan...?" She stood up as she looked at him, his expression still a bit strained as he looked at her. "What are you doing here? We're just heading back now..." she said with worry as Tokoyami came around the corner, noticing Katsuki as well.
"I wanted to talk to you..." Katsuki told her, and reached out to touch her arm. Izuku was confused by that, before she looked to Tokoyami worriedly. "Can we go across the street and talk...?"
"Yeah uh... Sure." Izuku said with a nod, before she helped Tokoyami check out at the front.
"I'll see you both back there." Tokoyami said with a nod of his head to them both, and Izuku waved him good bye, before she felt Katsuki take her hand.
"Uhm... Why couldn't we just talk back at the dorms...?" Izuku asked curiously as he lead the way across the street to the park. She looked around at the dimly lit and dark trees as they walked, before looking back up at him.
"Too many people... I wanted it to be just us..." He looked back at her with narrowed eyes, and Izuku was confused by the look in them, and his words. They had plenty of privacy in their rooms, but if he was uncomfortable talking there he wouldn't.
"Alright..." Izuku looked down at their hands, not sure what this was about. He had his fingers laced with hers and holding onto her tightly, before he walked off the path towards a tree. She looked up at him, wondering where they were going. They stopped at the tree, and Izuku looked around, no one came to the park at night, and even if some one passed by no one would see them here... She looked up at Katsuki nervously. "Kacchan...?"
"I wanted to say I'm sorry about earlier..." He turned to face her, holding her right hand with his left as he brought it up to his lips. She blushed a bit as he pulled her closer to him with an arm around her waist. "I was out of control... I'm sorry..."
Izuku was confused by that as he held her so gently in his arms. He said sorry twice in the same breath...? She looked up into his eyes as they looked down at her with a longing behind them. "K-Kacchan... It's not... I should be saying sorry..."
"No... What you did was right," He leaned down and kissed her ear. She felt her cheeks heat up like they were on fire, before she looked up at him again as he brought her right hand to his face. "You're pretty when you blush... this ring matches your eyes, where did you get it...?"
She felt her whole being run cold at his words, and a chill shook her from her spine to her fingers and toes as she stared wide eyed at the Katsuki in front of her.
"Wh... What...?" She asked him, and he looked at her with curious eyes, a childish smile on his face... The smile made her heart stop in fear as she looked at it. "... Wh-who are you...?"
"What do you mean? I'm Kacchan." Katsuki told her, pinning her to the tree with his body.
"No your not..." Izuku looked up at him in terror as he held her against the tree. His knee was in between hers, and his hips holding hers in place. She felt his other hand was wrapped around her upper arm. "Y-You're not Kacchan! He'd never call himself that! And he gave me this ring!" she shouted up at the stranger who looked like her boyfriend. "You're that guy from the test! KEMI!"
"Wooow! Almost right!" The boy posing as Katsuki grinned at her madly now as he looked down at his prey. "Look at you, so smart! I like smart girls... I guess I shouldn't have asked about the ring." He said with a laugh as the appearance of Katsuki melted off of his face in a goopy familiar mess. "I'm learning so much about you..." She looked up in horror as she saw not the face of the boy from earlier at the test, but one that stung with familiarity.
"... The camp..." she stuttered out as she looked at the platinum blonde curly hair in horror, before looking into the golden eyes that stared at her like she was a meal. "... You... You were with them... The Villain Alliance...!" She struggled against him, activating her quirk before he grabbed her by the face and slammed her head back against the tree. She saw stars and felt her whole world spin as his hand covered one of her eyes and she was forced to look up at him with the other as she felt her strength leave her. "Stop... What... What do you want...?!"
"I wanted to talk to you... Get to know you, you know?" The boy smiled at her darkly as he leaned in close to her face while her freed hand tried to push him off. "I fell in love with you at first sight, Izuku my dear... All covered in blood... I see my friends left scars, but I like a girl whose had a past..." He grinned at her before he gripped her hair with his fingers. "I just wanted to have a nice chat with you... Don't you wanna know my name...?"
"I remember you..." She glared back at him, angry hot tears in her eyes. "Toga... You tried to slice me open a the camp that day..."
"WOW! I'M SO HAPPY YOU REMEMBERED!" The boy said with a bright happy smile as he blushed. "I knew I fell in love with the right girl! Hey hey... What's your favourite color...? Mine's green." He smiled down at her as he leaned in closer.
"It... It's red..." she said in a small voice, she could feel her dizziness fading, and she needed a bit of time... Tokoyami should be back soon... He'd see Katsuki was at the dorms... Some one would come to help soon...
"Oooh? Is it because of that guys eyes?" Toga's smile became wider and more insane. "Wow, I really hate him right now. You should be my girlfriend instead..."
"Why were you at the license exam...?" Izuku asked him as she looked up at him, narrowing her eyes.
"Because I knew you'd be there!" He grinned at her and licked her neck up to her cheek. She shivered in disgust and tried shoving at him again. "Hey now, stop that or I'll be forced to do mean things..." He pulled her hair and slammed her head against the tree again. She saw stars once more and felt a bit of blood trickle down the back of her neck. "See, isn't this better...?" He asked her as she slid down against the tree a bit. "I wanted to see you so bad, I snuck into that exam as that Kemi guy... You were so beautiful as you were fighting..." She felt his fingers release from her hair and touched her cheek. She squinted up at him, trying to focus but her head hurt like hell. "You even saved me... Though I looked like your friend... But still! You were so cool!" He leaned closed to her face and she tried to focus her vision as she stared into his eyes. He was holding her up by her upper arms now. "Hey hey, can I kiss you? See, I'm nice... I asked!"
"N-No... get... get away from me..." She groaned out, before she felt his lips press against hers. She hated it as he kissed her. She clawed at his chest, trying to push him away. She needed help... Some one had to be coming... but even if they did, they wouldn't know where she was... Where was Kasuki? She felt the boy pull his lips from hers and she moved her head away from him, trying to catch her breath. She felt disgusting... How was she going to call out to the others...?
"Hey hey, don't look away, I wanna see your beautiful face!" The boy said brightly and turned her head back with his fingers... her arm was free.. She looked up at him, her eyes full of terror as she did. H smiled back down at her again, "That's my favourite look of yours, you know. But I haven't seen many, show me more... show me a happy smile!" She wouldn't even if she could muster one... She needed to call the others... her cell phone... She reached in her pocket with her hand and felt the GPS in there. She clasped her fingers around it tightly, and hit the button on it. "Hey what are you doing?"
"Stop...!" She cried out as he grabbed her arm and held it up. He looked at the white disk with wide eyes, before looking back at her, a bit of anger in that happy smile he wore.
"Whats this? You trying to call for help?" He asked her with a grin, "But I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt you... Just me." He took the disk from her hand and threw it into the bushes. She had already hit the button... She had sent an alert... She looked up at him as he licked one of her scars on her wrist. "Aah... I see a burn mark! Dabi gave that to you, did it hurt?" He asked and looked back at her as she tried to yank her arm away from him. "hey hey, I didn't get to leave a scar yet... can I?" He asked before he pulled on her arm, lifting her up onto her toes off the ground. Her eyes widened as he leaned in, and she felt a sharp horrible pain on her neck as his teeth sunk into her skin.
"AAAH!" She cried out in pain but his other hand came up and slammed her head back into the tree again. She groaned out as she felt her blood trickled down her neck. "Stop...! Please stop! Let go! My friends are coming, they'll capture you!"
"No they wont..." He looked at her, smiling brightly as his form began to change. Her eyes widened in horror as she looked back into her own eyes. She was staring at herself, but this one looked insane. "Hey, do you want to know something...?" He asked in her voice and she shuddered in horror as she realized this boys quirk... He could use blood too transform into other people... "That Shigaraki... He want's you dead, yeah?" He asked her, touching her cheek again. She saw her own blood on the lips of the boy, or were they her lips now...? "But Stain... that's the guy I admire... he let you live, he saved your life, you know! Well... Turns out Shigaraki might be changing his mind around too, ya..." Toga smiled at her with her own face and blushed a bright red as he looked into her eyes. "... If he does, we can live together and get married... wouldn't that be nice?"
"No... I don't want that...!" She told him, and she groaned out. She had to get away from this guy, she couldn't let him use her face to fool her friends... She felt her hand pulse with strength and she jerked it free from his grasp. He looked confused for a second, before she clocked him in the face, sending him falling back. Izuku dropped to her knees on the ground, her head was spinning from all the times it was slammed into that tree. She looked up in anger as she saw him get up, and she tried to push herself up off the ground. "Stay away from me... and my friends...!"
"But Izuku... I love you." he said as he stared down at her with wide happy eyes, his blush still on his face... or her own... She groaned disgust as she saw herself staring at her. "You're so cute..." He lifted his hands to touch his chest, or hers? She paled as he groped it. "I want to touch you all over... I guess I'll have to settle with this for now though." He said with a sad look on his face as they heard shouting.
"IZUKU?! WHERE ARE YOU?! IZUKUUUU!" She could hear multiple people yelling her name and she gripped the grass with her fingers as she went to get up, before she was pushed down by his foot on her back.
"sssh..." Her face started to melt off of his as he leaned down over her, his foot still on her back. She groaned in pain a bit as he grabbed her hair and moved it before she felt something touch her neck. She looked up as he held a vial of blood... her blood... She paled again as she saw him put it in his pocket. He leaned closer to her face, smiling innocently. "It's to bad... our conversation got cut short. But next time lets go on a date, alright...?" He smiled at her again before he leaned in and kissed her cheek. She threw a fist at him but he stepped out of the way with a laugh, before he ran off into the trees. She felt the tears in her eyes fall from her cheeks as she tried to push herself up, but her head felt like it was splitting from the back. She crumpled back down into the wet grass, and groaned out.
"IZUKU! SAY SOMETHING!" She heard Katsuki shouting for her, and she looked up with her eyes. She could hear their foot steps now.
"Here..." she called out softly, trying to muster her voice up. Everything was making her head hurt... She needed to get up, she'd been hurt way more than this, she needed to let her friends know she was alright for the most part. "K-Kacchan...!" She got up to her knees, and heard the foot steps near by on the path. She looked towards it, and her vision blurred a bit as she pushed herself up. They wouldn't find her here in the dark shadows... She made her legs move, it was like they were cemented to the ground... She heard her name cried out again... She groaned as she pushed through a bush, before stumbling out to the path and falling onto the ground with a thud. She could hear her name being cried out in horror now and the thuds of sneakers on the pavement. She turned her head to look at the blurry group that had to be her friends and Katsuki. "... Here... I'm here..." she clenched her fist, before she put her hands under her and pushed herself up a few inches.
"IZUKU!" She heard the sudden stopping of foot steps right near her and some one dropping to their knee's. She lifted her head, looking up at the blurry vision of Katsuki... she knew it was him, his hands were under her instantly as he scooped her up into his arms and she sobbed out as he held her to his chest. "What happened?! Why are you... you're bleeding! WHAT HAPPENED?! WHO DID THIS?!"
"T-Toga... Vil... Villain Alliance..." She groaned out to him and who ever else was there. They all went quiet as they looked down at her.
"R-recovery girl... We... We gotta take her to recovery girl..." She heard Iida's voice, it sounded worried.
"Someone bit her..." She heard Todoroki near by. She brought her hand to her face, trying to rub her eyes back into focus.
"We need to phone the police! We need to get her back to the dorms and get her treatment!" Kirishima was there and shouting.
"Stop.. stop yelling..." Izuku cried out, and felt her tears fall down her cheeks again. "I'm fine... Just dizzy... stop..."
"You have a concussion..." She heard Todoroki near her. The hands that were holding her were trembling as they clutched her arms. "You need to get medical treatment..."
"No.." Izuku cried out, and she shook her head. "No I... My mom will be worried.. I'll be pulled out of... out of school... please... don't..." She looked up at the blurry red and white vision of Todoroki.
"You need help...!" She heard the strained tone of Katsuki's voice, and she looked up at him, trying to focus. "We're getting you help! A villain attacked you!"
"Ah... No..." Izuku sobbed out. "Please... I'm okay, please... just don't..."
"She's being crazy, we need to get her back to the school and get her some help...!" Iida said in a panic. "She's had head trauma... probably some psychological trauma too. Let's go!"
She felt the strong arms that held her pick her up. She couldn't keep her eyes open, she wanted to fall asleep. Everything was spinning...
"Don't let her fall asleep!" Todoroki shouted, and she groaned. "If she has a concussion it could kill her!"
"Izuku... stay awake!" Katsuki called down to her. She could tell they were all running. "Stay awake, alright?!"
"I'm tired... I wanna sleep..." She groaned out, "It's been a long day... I want to sleep and forget about that guy..."
"Izuku!" She looked up as she heard him cry out her name in a panic. "Please, stay awake!"
"Kacchan... He looked... He looked like you..." Izuku sobbed out, and felt her head lull back on her shoulder. "Said you wanted to talk..."
"SHIT! She's gunna pass out!" Kirishima shouted.
"IZUKU DON'T FUCKING FALL ASLEEP!" She heard the panic in Katsuki's voice again, and she opened her eyes to look up at him, her vision more focused than a few moments ago. "STAY AWAKE GOD DAMNIT!"
"Ha... don't yell..." she told him with a smile.
When they got back, she could hear worried whispers and shouts all around her before some one lay her down on the sofa. She felt a towel under her head and some one grabbing her hand.
"IZUCHAN! What happened?!" She focused on Uraraka who was sobbing as she looked down at her.
"Haa... Don't cry..." Izuku told her friend with a weak smile as she heard commotion all around her.
"MIDORIYA!" She heard their sensei shouting and a bang of the door. She looked up at Aizawa as he stormed in with a angry worried look on his face. "WHAT HAPPENED HERE?! SOME ONE EXPLAIN!"
"Stop yelling!" She could hear recovery girl, and Izuku groaned out as she shifted on the sofa, trying to get comfortable, she just wanted to go to sleep... "Move aside..."
"We ran to the store," Tokoyami spoke up as Izuku felt some one more her head and poke at the painful lump on the back of it. "We got some snacks... some one who had Bakugo's appearance was there and she thought it was him too... he lead her off because he said he wanted to talk, I thought nothing of it till I came back here and.. well he was here too..."
"Midoriya, you have a severe concussion..." She heard recovery girl coo out to her. "And a bad bite wound... I can only heal the concussion right now... you're probably going to pass out..."
"Good, I'm so tired..." Izuku let out a sad laugh, "Just want to sleep... ah..." She grabbed at the couch and tried to pull herself up. She felt hands push her back down and she groaned. "Waaaait... that guys name... his quirk..."
"You can tell us later, you need to heal!" Recovery girl told her firmly, and Izuku whined out.
"Some on pick up that phone... yeah? It keeps ringing..." Izuku told them all, and she groaned in pain as her head throbbed.
"Midoriya my dear... That's enough. Here..." She felt a pair of big wet lips press to her cheek and she groaned as she felt what energy she had left in her drain.
"Wa... it..." Izuku reached a hand, but she felt a familiar one take it and hold it tightly. She let her eyes close slowly as sleep called out to her, and took comfort in knowing it was most definitely her real Katsuki's hand.
