Most of Class A had moved on from the trauma of the villain's assault on their summer camp despite the various injuries taken. Cuts, bruises, gas damage and a couple broken bones, but it appeared that the decision to allow them to use their quirks had mitigated most of the damage. At first many of them were saddened by the loss of Mineta, perhaps unsuspiciously lacking any female participants in the grieving, but most of them had decided to allow the pros to handle the investigations into his whereabouts. But Izuku had been affected on a slightly different level then most, not primarily for the loss of his classmate, but the loss of a friend.

Aizawa had come under a lot of flak for allowing Mineta to get kidnapped and Izuku was glad that Bakugo hadn't been the one they had managed to get. The greenette could only imagine the kind of hellfire the school would come under if Bakugo got kidnapped after his display during the Sports Festival. Instead, Izuku was mourning the loss of Ragdoll who still hadn't been found. As they were packing up and onto the bus to head home, Izuku could see Pixie-bob crying on Tora's shoulder while Mandalay looked on, helpless to ease her friends anguish. The feeling had gnawed away at him ever since, leaving him with the only option of training to keep his mind off things.

That's what lead him to be out in U.A's pool facility, quickly moving forward with his speed and durability. He had found the feeling oddly cathartic after a while and could be seldom seen not in the water or on the poolside and training. Inko had been slightly worried that the fight had been too hard on him, but he had assured her that it wasn't anything self-destructive. Izuku had even pointed to another hobby that he took up, admittedly he did it at the poolside, but a hobby none-the-less, the guitar.

Izuku had found it under his bed when they were packing up, drawing curious stares from the girls and in particular Jirou. The sight of it was oddly comforting to him, so he resolved himself to being the best he could at it for when Ragdoll was saved. He bought a case for it and brought it with him whenever he went to the pool to train, strumming out a couple songs whenever he was burned out.

Another surprise was the fact that Aizawa seemed to come down and relax by the pool while Izuku had trained. At first the teacher claimed it was so that he could get some time away from his colleagues, but eventually he stopped qualifying it like that and just enjoyed his time in the sun. Izuku had been looking at the man in a new light after seeing him with Mandalay, the way he acted seemed like he wasn't always this way. It was a week after the training camp incident when Aizawa spoke up of his own volition, a rare event outside of the classroom. "Midoriya, we have tracked down the location of Mineta and Ragdoll."

Izuku floundered in the water for a moment before calming down and getting out of the pool. He looked over at his teacher in shock while asking. "Why are you telling me this sir? Is it allowed?"

Aizawa shook his head as he sat up and leaned against the wall, his eyes shadowed by his hair. "No, it really isn't allowed but Mandalay asked me to tell you this. Apparently you and Ragdoll became quite close friends during your 'training' and she wanted me to tell you that she was allegedly alive. It also pertains to another situation we have on our hands."

Izuku was still reeling from the fact that his teacher had actually broken the rules for a woman, especially something this sensitive. "S-Sir, if you don't mind me asking, what happened between you and Mandalay?"

Aizawa sighed and rubbed his forehead, staving off the emotions which were threatening to flow from his eyes. "Guess it couldn't hurt... It all started in U.A, back in my first year."

Flashback

A young Aizawa sighed as he looked at the amount of requests he got from different Hero agencies, going through each one meticulously. His performance at the Sport's Festival was phenomenal, being a massive player in the tournament as he completely negated most of his opponents and stomped them. Eventually he managed to choose one that seemed uninteresting enough and out of the way, Nero, run by the Fox Hero Kitsune. He saw that they focused on underground rings and rescuing people from human trafficking rings, enough to stay away from the public eye.

Once he had handed in his application the day went just as normal as usual, the annoying bug that now called himself Present Mic making himself a nuisance being obnoxious as usual and the rest of his class going through the paces. He finished his work, went home, cooked himself dinner and slept.

After a couple more days of this the new week had arrived, bringing with it the Hero Internship week. His teacher brought them to the train station, handed them their tickets and made them swear that they would represent U.A well. Aizawa never paid attention to him though, instead taking the opportunity to scan over Class 1-A. There was the usual gaggles of people chattering like usual, making themselves a general nuisance while moving to their respective trains, but one girl in particular stood out to him. She was in a group, with a blond girl who's voice seemed to grate on his ears more then he could imagine and a green haired girl who appeared to have a screw or two loose, but there was something ethereal about the short haired brunette with them.

Brushing off the feeling Aizawa took his ticket and boarded the train to the south of Tokyo. Hoisting his bag onto the luggage rack above him with little effort, he took a seat and surveyed what was happening. Nobody else from his class were going down the same way, perfect by his standards, but to his dismay the girl he had spotted earlier along with her annoying and crazy friend boarded the train themselves. Aizawa didn't think they could get much louder if they tried, but tuned them out as best he could as he tried to grab a couple winks of sleep.

5 minutes later he was beginning to contemplate either jumping off the train or murdering that gods-forsaken woman. Shota opened his eyes and glared at her like she had just spilt coffee on his bed, subconsciously activating his quirk. She didn't seem to notice the holes being bored in her head though, instead continuing to chat loudly with the green haired girl. He was broken from his reverie by an apologetic voice ringing out in his head. "Sorry about Ryuko, by the way your quirk is active."

Shota whipped his head around to try and find the source of the voice, before seeing the girl he had been so enamoured with smirking at him from across the aisle. The voice rang out in his head again, this time with both of their eyes locked. "This is my quirk, Telepath. I'm able to speak to you with my thoughts, but you're unable to respond so don't bother."

He nodded at her before breaking eye contact and looking down at his shoes once more. They kept in silence like that for another couple of minutes before the train stopped, and both the blond girl and the greenette both got up and off of the train while saying goodbye to their friend. Shota couldn't help but let out a small sigh of relief, which was obviously picked up by the girl across from him. "Oh don't worry, we're making this commute all week."

He looked up at her again, this time with her speaking physically instead of using her quirk. Honestly Shota wasn't that interested in a conversation but anything was preferable to the incessant chatter of those two. "You don't seem to be the type to hang around with them, what gives?"

The girl scoffed and leaned back against the window, stretching out her back as she replied. "Ryuko and Tomoko are alright once you get used to them and I had plenty of time to do just that in Middle School. The name's Shino Sosaki, yours?"

Shota looked down at his feet, a small dusting of red covering his cheeks as he responded quietly. "Shota Aizawa."

They sat in silence after that, Shino's eyes looking up and down him like a piece of meat while Shota tried to ignore the feeling. Eventually they reached his stop and he got up, but what he didn't expect was her following suit. They both blinked at each other as Shota shook his head and grabbed his bag, walking off the train as she looked at him inquisitively.

The walk to Nero was a relatively short one, with a few twists and turns until Shota found himself infront of a dingy looking building in an alleyway. As he was looking up and down the building, he heard a cough behind him. Spinning around he saw that girl, Shino if he remembered correctly, holding up her hand in greeting. "Hey Aizawa, small world eh?"

Shota did his best to ignore her as he pushed into the agency, hearing a small bell toll to announce his entry. Shino followed after him, slightly put off by his lack of reply. They saw their assigned hero meditating on a bench, looking up to nod at them. Shota put Shino out of his mind, determined not to let her interrupt his week of experience.

They didn't talk much for the rest of the week, giving small greetings to each other in the morning on their commute. But after that they seemed to always bump into each other again, be it at the nurse's office, Shino greeting him in the morning or at lunch, or even getting paired for inter class activities. By the end of their time at U.A Shota could honestly call her his best friend, possibly even a confidant in some cases. Ryuko and Tomoko as he had come to know them had initially been sceptical of him but were smart enough not to question Ryuko's decision on her friendship with him under threat of her weath.

But the tipping point in their friendship had been when he was cornered by Shino at the end of their time at U.A. It was just the two of them in the stairwell, the majority of the student base had already left for the summer, leaving just the two of them alone in Class 3-A. There the offer to join Shino, Ryuko, Tomoko and Yawara in a Hero team sponsored by Tomoko's wealthy parents was made, which he ultimately declined. At first there were tears, but Shino had come to understand that teamwork and Aizawa just didn't work and it was a fact. After that, she hugged him around the waist before being carted off to begin her new job in the mountains.

End Flashback

They sat in silence for a minute or two as Aizawa wiped away his tears, Izuku nearly following suit from the tale. It was obvious that the life of a hero must mean sacrifices, but the tale had struck a chord in the young student as he understood why his teacher seemed to be so bitter sometimes. Eventually Aizawa stood up and said. "This doesn't leak to anyone, okay? Just so you know, that Himiko girl is going to be stopping by U.A tomorrow to take some blood from you under guarded escort. She's been making progress to recovery but she refuses to accept reform without you being involved. See you around Midoriya."

Aizawa walked away and out of the pool area as Izuku got in the pool and floated on his back, digesting everything he was told. The whole thing seemed… Alien, like Izuku had suddenly stumbled into someone's deluded fantasy where everything he knew was topsy turvy. He heard a small cough to his side and saw an unexpected face. "Jirou!?"

The girl was sitting with his guitar in her lap, inspecting every nook and crany of it. She heard her name being called and looked up, smirking at Izuku. "Hey Midoriya, how's it hanging?"

Izuku manuvered himself in the water for a bit, letting him look at her directly. "I-I'm okay. How long have you been here?"

She non-chalantly gestured down to her swimsuit, a conservative one-piece that seemed to shout shyness. "Long enough to hear Teacher's tale. Eye opening shit right?"

He nodded, dreading the conversating he would be having with Aizawa when he learned that Jirou knew as well. She seemed to catch onto this as she patted the poolside next to her. "Don't worry Midoriya, I won't let it slip if you don't. So, what's the story with this beauty?"

Getting up and out of the water Izuku sat down next to her, shaking his hair and getting her covered in water. "I found it at the Training Camp when the guys and I went out to have a bonfire. Apparently there's a finders keepers policy there, so I got to keep it. I-I decided to keep at it to, you know, well…"

Jirou grimaced at being covered in water before playfully splashing up at him with her feet dangling in the water. "You guys got a bonfire!? Man, wish I could have been there too. You know, it gets kinda boring with only Wattbrain to talk to. It's like all he can talk about is being a hero, kinda weird. Wait what was I supposed to tell you? Ah dammit, it's gone…"

Izuku did his best to deflect the water being splashed up at him by a grinning Jirou as he asked. "H-How do you figure?"

She relinquished her assault for a moment as she began to strum out a fast paced melody that sounded quite aggressive, a sound Izuku couldn't replicate. "Well, nobodies gonna be popular without being interesting right? Iida's kinda like a medieval knight, Mina's got the flirty and playful look going for her and I've got the music to back me up. I kinda worry for the guy, he's not going to have it too easy later on."

The idea had left Izuku feeling slightly contemplative as he kicked his feet slowly in the water. He had never considered how popular he was going to be in all honesty, or even how he would become popular. Jirou smiled knowingly at him as she dropped the guitar to the side and jumped into the water. "Come on lil Deku! Daylights burnin' and we're still standing around!"

Izuku joined her in the water with a laugh, joining her for a game of pool tag where she seemed to be more concerned with splashing him at every chance then tagging him back. The day soon turned to afternoon and Jirou seemed to notice this with a frown. "Dammit, I've gotta head Izuku. Wait a minute, that's what it was! So hear me out, Momo, Uraraka, Mina and I were all planning on getting together for a study session to catch up on everything before new term started. You mind coming along and helping us out with Ethics?"

He nodded, not really thinking much of it as he watched her grin at him. "Thanks man, I'll see ya around."

She walked away to the girls changing room and Izuku walked over to the boys. The day had been much more fun then he had remembered, and he felt as if that guitar was much more meaningful that it was at the start. Once he was changed, his backpack was on his back and the guitar was in its case he was about to go when he heard a cough. Turning to the entrance he saw All Might standing there in his non-beefed form. "Hey Midoriya, enjoying the company of your classmate I see?"

Izuku blushed as he shook his head violently. "N-no I mean yes I mean…"

He cut him off with a laugh. "Ha! Just messing with you my boy. Anyways, I wanted to talk to you about that villain you helped to detain and her future."

Izuku sobered up quite a bit after that. Himiko was always a contentious topic in his head. Sure she was nice if a little crazy, but she was still a villain, but she had surrendered… "What about her?"

All Might took a seat on one of the benches and sighed, pulling one of his locks of hair out of his eye. "You did a good deed for her, something many villains haven't seen a lot of. I've seen the deepest depths someone can achieve, but somehow you were able to help her out of that. I know you haven't been allowed to see her, but I have and her progress has gone incredibly fast. You must realise that as her saviour, you have a responsibility to her to make sure that she never finds herself in that situation again. This video should show you everything you need to know about the next stage in her recovery."

He pulled out his phone and brought up a video file before handing it over to his disciple. Izuku took it and started the playback, his features reddening with every sentence spoken. Himiko was in the middle of a room, her arms bound to a chair as a doctor asked her. "Himiko Toga, it's time to start your reformation program. Are you ready?"

She seemed to pout as she bounced up and down in her chair. "Yeah! But I'm not going through with it without my future husband Izu-kun! Without him, I'm gonna go crazy again!"

The researcher could be seen rubbing his head, staving off the frequent headaches he had started having when he first began treating this patient. "Sigh. Okay, I give up, we'll get you your 'boyfriend'. Who is he and where do we find him."

The video ended and Izuku shakily handed the phone back to All Might. "Now do you see what must be done Young Midoriya, the burden you must bear?"

The air was still, until the face of a beefed up All Might appeared right in front of him yelling. "You must smash through the walls of her heart and claim her for your own! For the sake of heroism! Claim her young Midoriya, pierce through her heart with your fist! Claim her!"

Izuku couldn't have ran out of that changing room any faster, All Might chasing him out of the door while yelling various things that would have gotten him arrested in some countries. All of this left Jirou standing at the gate of U.A, looking at the seemingly deranged All Might chasing after Izuku while yelling 'Claim Her!'. "He ain't talking about me right?"

Timeskip, next day

Izuku walked through the doors of U.A's main building, trying his best to keep the rain from soaking him too bad. The walk had started out nice and sunny but summer seemed to have other plans as it sent a quick rainstorm to ruin his plans. Since he was already close to the building and All Might telling him that Himiko needed blood today he decided to just head in, even if there was no swimming to be done that day.

As he shook his hair dry he felt a vibration in his pocket. Pulling out his phone and swiping open the messaging app he saw All Might's message. "You still comin' in today kid? Your future bride is awaiting you."

Sighing as he remembered last night, hours spent lying awake thinking about Himiko thanks to his mentors deluded claims. He quickly typed back that he was already in the building and All Might told him to meet them in class 1-A. Walking up to the aforementioned room, feeling slightly disconcerted at the empty halls he saw a familiar face outside of the door. "Detective Tsukauchi?"

The plain looking man turned his head to smile at Izuku. "Ah, Mr Midoriya it's good to see you. Your girlfriend is awaiting."

Izuku blushed heavily at the man's teasing smile and quickly stammered out a denial, to which the detective said. "Don't worry about it, it's been a bit of a gag in the force ever since we got her statement. You've got one hell of a fangirl."

Choosing to sigh in relief Izuku followed him inside and saw All Might beefed up, 4 armed guards with tasers along with a fidgety Himiko. She immediately perked up when she saw him and began to struggle against the restraints in an attempt to get to him. "Izu! Come on momma's been missing you!"

None of the armed guards could contain their snickers as Izuku hid behind his hands. Tsukauchi pushed him forward and said. "Do your thing kids. We'll be outside, use protection and all that."

The guards couldn't contain their full blown laughter as they all trooped out of the room. All Might began to boom on about the importance of taking care of a maiden before Tsukauchi pushed him outside before Izuku could raise the global temperature by a couple degrees with his blush. Once they were alone it was mostly silent, the only sound being the ruffling of Himiko in her restraints.

Izuku coughed awkwardly as he walked forward to her, the act being slightly more questionable then usual with her in handcuffs. "So… How's therapy?"

Himiko couldn't contain her laughter as she laid down on the desk she was sitting on. "Smooth one, betcha use that on all the ladies. More importantly though, when the hell am I getting out of this?"

The air was silent as she genuinely seemed saddened by her loss of freedom, causing Izuku to realise just how hard the decision to turn herself over really was. She could have continued killing just happily, but she consciously wanted to reform even if it meant jail time. Sighing Izuku walked forward and sat next to her, the desk creaking ominously under their weight. He noticed that the desk actually belonged to Mineta and smiled. "I know it's hard but think about it. Once you're free you could do anything! You could become a chef, a model or even a hero! I bet that U.A would accept you, maybe we could be in the same class."

She looked up at him from being laid down, her eyes wide. "Sappy stuff aside. A chef, that's what you envision for me?"

Gulping heavily before putting all of his confidence into his next sentence, Izuku said words that may well have sealed his fate. "W-Well… I think you would be quite cute baking…"

The air went still as Toga's grin grew wider with every second. Sitting up to be next to him she clambered onto his lap as she huskily said. "So… You wana see me in your kitchen, waiting eagerly for your heroic return every night so you can whisk me away?"

Izuku gulped as she held the position for a while, before bursting out into laughter which sounded like bells. "Ha! Man you look so vulnerable like that, you can be so cute sometimes. Anyways, momma needs her blood so arm up buddy."

He dutifully held up his wrist as she swivelled around into the position she was in the forest. Izuku braced himself and put it against her lip so she could bite down. A small stab of pain was felt as her canines broke skin and vein, letting the blood flow into her mouth. After about 7 minutes she finished her meal and broke away, tooth and lip stained red. "Man, you have no idea how great it feels to have an on demand tap of blood all to myself. You really do know how to make a girl feel special by the way Izu, little Izu seems to like me too."

Izuku yelped as he noticed his little problem while Toga laughed again, obviously not being too bothered by the feeling. Getting up and off his lap she dropped down into the chair and licked her lips. "Thanks for that. Anyways, you should probably hear this."

He sat down at his desk, right across from her as she leaned forward as if they were gossiping. "What is it?"

She smiled before her face fell, becoming slightly more… worried if he guessed right. "Well, I just wanted to tell you that the rescue is going to be a lot harder then you could imagine. You see, they have this boss man who we called Senpai and he could be the end of All Might if they tried hard enough. I'm telling you this because I know that girl, you know the green haired pretty kitty? Well, she needs to be evacuated as fast as possible from the fight before she gets caught in the crossfire. They're heading to Kamino Ward, in a building on 6th Street where the Nomu are being made apparently. Izuku, I don't know what you see me as but I see you as the best chance I have to try another life where my quirk isn't the only thing that makes my choices for me. I gave the location of our base to the heroes, so I might actually be able to join you in U.A. But I know you want to help as many people as possible, so be there at 6pm tonight to get her away. Please, don't die…"

Izuku reached over and wrapped his arms around her, not remembering the blood pouring from his wrist. "Thanks Toga… And I know that Tomoko will appreciate it too. I'll make sure she gets out safe and I'm sure Mineta will be safe too. Who knows. Tomoko is a good Psychoanalyst, maybe she could be your therapist and we can get you better together."

She nodded into his shoulder, enjoying the embrace that she was so unfamiliar with. Eventually they got up and walked out, putting Himiko back into the custody of the police. As they walked away, Toga blowing a quick kiss his way as they did so, All Might turned to him in his real form. "Midoriya, I want to tell you that Nezu has already set up Young Himiko as a member of U.A. We will host her here, acting as a student until she obtains her Hero License and becomes a successful member of society. Now then, let's talk about what she told you in there."

Izuku's heart stopped and sweat began to form on his forehead. Was he going to demand that he didn't go to Kamino, put him under arrest, have him tied down with Himiko to make sure they didn't go!? "I knew you could do it! SHE IS COMPLETELY BESOTTED WITH THE IDEA OF BEING YOUR BRIDE!"

Izuku turned to All Might in shock, now seeing him standing there buffed up with a leaflet depicting All Might and Midnight naked, with large question marks covering their privates being held up by Nezu. Along the top of the leaflet were the words. "A guide to safe Smashing! The U.A Official Sex Education Leaflet."

"Now Young Midoriya, it is time for your Sexual Academia to begin. READ THIS!"

He seemed to halt at seeing that Izuku had bolted off into distance, frowning. "Hmm, it is not good for a young man to be unaware of the ways of the world. I shall have to have Recovery Girl explain it to him on his next visit."

As Izuku began to walk towards the pool, realising that the sun had come out again, he thought back to the image of Midnight on that leaflet. 'I hope Mineta never sees that leaflet, he won't show up to class all week. I wonder how he's doing?'

Meanwhile, with Mineta

Tomura never thought he would have this much trouble from a hero, maybe All Might, but not a student like this one. The news that they didn't have Bakugo was bad enough, but when Mr Compress had revealed the goddamn monster that they had captured he had carefully arranged each and every one of his hands to be pointing a middle finger at the magician. At first it was the crying, then the frenzied small talk, but now it was the whining. The little purple haired rat wouldn't stop complaining and only shut up when he threatened to decay his balls off, the details of which balls in particular being left in the air.

But that wasn't to last, causing Tomura to remember a game he had played many moons ago about a gang of mercenaries on another planet and a song featured in it. 'Ain't no rest for the wicked, how fucking apt'. The molesting midget's latest line of complaining had been the worst so far. "Come on! I mean, how can you have a villain's group without any hot babes serving you drinks? Seriously, if I were in charge of this joint I would have made a promise for everyone to get at least one hot babe for themselves."

But even still, the goddamn stupidity of the situation had only escalated when master had heard of some of the kid's 'policies'. "Ah, a valid point young Mineta. Tomura, may I suggest you add that to your to-do list? It would be prudent to increase our standing, I shall have Giran procure some employees if it is a problem."

It got even worse when he saw Compress begin to nod, stroking his chin contemplatively. "Yes yes, a magician does need his assistant after all. May I suggest that young Mineta have multiple assigned to him? It would be fair should he join us, as a reward for coming up with the idea."

All for One hummed in contemplation. "I suppose it would be only fair. Of course, we would need to fix your base up to accommodate a doubling in numbers. We would also need to provide them with suitable wages, not to mention dental plans…"

That was it, the tipping point for Tomura as he decayed the entire bar in a single moment. "You goddamn idiots! I can't believe that we, the most feared villain organisation in Japan, are even talking about this! You haven't even considered bathroom hours, or a new internet plan to accommodate double the users! Alright everyone, grab a pen and paper. We're the goddamn League of Villains and I'm not standing for a goddamn half assed attempt at getting whores for all of us, if we're doing this we're doing it RIGHT!"

AN: Yay I forgot it was Wednesday and I got sidetracked by the Aizawa flashback. I know, the fight didn't start and I'm sorry but I'll post it soon. This is kinda 'hot-off-the-press' but I hope it'll keep you nice and supple for next time. Okay reviews, fucking thank you guys, its nice to see the story I put together during biology was more appealing then my other stuff I spent sweat and tears into. I saw a couple saying that I've been neglecting some girls, so sorry about that and I hope that the Jirou scene and the promise of a 'study' session is enough to keep you chill. In regards to the OOC characters, more accurately ALL OF THEM, yeah that's just a couple things popping up in my head and I really like Aizawa X Mandalay along with cutesy Toga. See you in a couple days or so with the Actual Kamino Ward Scene TM. Stay classy.
