Helloooo everyone! Thus Guy here comes with another chapter. The longer I work on this, more I feel my sanity points dropping, hehe. Well, to the chapter then.

Crazy Next Door

The morning came and she woke up as the first beams of sunlight gently warmed her face. The cage was a bit cold so it was a good way to wake up. She sat up, running a hand through her messy blond hair and stirred, opening her arms as wide as she could. Himiko got up and looked around. There was nothing that she could use to brush her teeth. That would not do, she didn't want to show in her first day with bad breath. It was at that moment that she spotted someone coming. It wasn't a random someone.

He stopped a few meters from the cage, staring at her with a burning gaze. Her face lit up with a wide smile.

"Izuku! I missed you so much, dear-"

"Don't come!"

She stopped her rush for Midoriya in the middle of the cage. He looked to be in a mix of fear and anger. Well, she liked his eyes like this too.

"... Aizawa-sensei… told you what happens if you don't behave, right…?"

"Yeah yeah, that pretty collar will do things that I won't like" Himiko temptingly raised her leg to take another step but the thing started to hum, showing it was working and ready to take action, so she just stood still.

"Can I at least walk around my own cage?" Midoriya kept glaring at her. "I'll take the silence as yes" She tried to take a step and she didn't feel any electricity course through her body.

"Izuku, I missed you since the end of our last date. Did you miss me too?" Silence.

"Not very talkative today, huh? Ne, Izuku, do I look good in that uniform?" She spun in her heels and held at the bars, looking at the teen. Her uniform had wrinkles, her necktie was loose, the jacket was unbuttoned, just like the first button of the shirt.

"... Why…?"

"Why? I don't know, I was so eager I decided to try it and ended sleeping with it. A girl likes to be complimented from time to time and-"

"What are you doing here, Himiko?!"

She flinched a little at his outburst, but showed a smile, looking straight at his eyes.

"What other reason could I have? I came for you, sweetie~"

Midoriya gritted his teeth. In a bold move, he stepped forward and held Himiko by her shirt, pulling her on the bars. Their faces were mere inches away.

"You really want to torment me that bad?!"

"Torment you? Izuku, I love you. How could I want to-"

"Stop it! Do you think this is a joke?!"

Now she also had a more serious face, but lacking any signs of anger.

"Do YOU think I'm joking? I'm done playing with you, Izuku. Do you know how much it hurts to be ignored? How much it hurts to turn into another person so I can talk with you?"

"Don't… don't try to play the innocent in this. You… you hurt me to no end, you tricked me… you almost made me fear Ochako!"

"So what? Do you want me to apologize? Well, I'm sorry"

"If apologies resolved the problems… we wouldn't need the police or heroes"

"Then what do you want from me? Why did you come here, Izuku?"

"I… I came here to… to make things clear. I really, really hate you"

"Well, I really, really love you, Izuku~"

"Are… are you listening to what I'm saying?!"

"Every single word that leaves your soft lips. I like to see things positively, you know. Hate is just another kind of love"

"What?"

"If you hate me so much, it means you feel something for me with all your heart. Considering you have a lot of pretty girls around you, having your heart only for me is a great thing already~"

In a surprise move, Himiko leaned forward and planted a quick peck on his forehead, which made Midoriya let go of her and stumble back. She let out a small giggle, watching as he got up, still glaring daggers at her.

"One more thing. Don't tell anyone about… what happened between us. I'm serious"

"Yes yes, I'll keep my mouth sealed. It will be our-se-cret~ Kyaa! I always wanted to say that!"

Midoriya shuddered at this and turned to leave, but Himiko called him.

"Ne, Izuku, I heard the teachers would decide if I could stay here. They said yes but I still don't believe it. What happened?"

He stopped on his tracks.

"The final decision… was given to me"

"Oooh! So why did you say yes?"

"I'm going to get over you. I don't want to feel scared again and the only way I know of dealing with something you fear… is facing it straightforward" With that Midoriya left, while Himiko stared at his backs, holding on the bars.

"Aaah… he's so cool~"

The class never felt so tense before. All the students were shocked by Midoriya's decision and the actions taken by the teachers. But they would support their friend and help him with whatever he needed. Everyone sat in their places as Aizawa entered the room. The teacher looked even more tired than usual.

"Well then, let's get over with this. You must already know about this but… we're going to have a new student joining us. You may come-"

"Hello everyone! My name is Toga Himiko and I'll be studying with you all now! Let's all be good friends!" The girl entered the room shouting and showing a wide fanged grin.

"-in… Oi, fix your uniform" Aizawa looked at the blonde and her uniform was as messed as is could be.

"Huh? But I think I look cute like this"

"I don't care, it annoys me" He stared at her and she took the hint.

"Okay, okay. Geez, threatening this early in the morning…?" She said as she buttoned her jacket and fixed her necktie, still letting it a little loose.

"Get used to it. Now, take your seat"

Himiko playfully stuck her tongue out then scanned the classroom, beaming another wide smile once her eyes found her target. She skipped through the classroom and sat at Midoriya's side, literally. She pushed him aside sat on the same desk he was, brushing on his shoulder and looking at his face.

"Look Izuku, we're going to be desk neighbors~"

"N-not if I can help…"

Midoriya stiffened when she entered the room and now he felt his legs shaking, but he was focusing his willpower to not let himself panic or show any signs of fear. Meanwhile, the entire class glared at the blonde with unfriendly thoughts in mind, one brunette in special really unfriendly.

"Toga, do I have to say it?" Aizawa was already writing on the blackboard.

"Okay, to the end of the classroom then… until lunch, sweetie~" Himiko moved to an isolated desk at the end of the room and there she took a book, opened it and let her head fall on it, quickly dozing off. Not a minute later, she received a chop in the head, waking up with a jolt.

"What?! Where?!" She looked up and Aizawa was glaring at her. "Oh, it's just you…"

"It's sensei for you, now pay attention. I won't allow a student to sleep during my lessons"

"Whaaaat? But school is so boring…"

"You're already annoying me this early in the morning. Do you want to keep doing it?"

"... No…"

"Then pay attention. You have something close to two years to catch up"

"What?! How will I do that?"

"You're creative, right? Think of something" Even if for a second, Himiko could almost see the smile behind the gray scarf.

And so classes proceeded. Needless to say, everyone was having a hard time focusing on the lessons, mainly for two reasons. One, Himiko, a dangerous villain, was sitting with them in the back of the room. And two, she proved to be extremely annoying. She did dozens of random and pointless questions, dozed off many times, and kept whining about the classes being boring or too confusing. Even the less dedicated students like Mina and Kaminari felt annoyed with her presence, but the major concern was Midoriya, off course. Was he holding himself together?"

The blonde constantly tried to get his attention, throwing paper balls and mini letters to him, or simply calling him in a not very discreet whisper. She had the nerve to raise her hand one time and ask if she could hug Midoriya, just because she felt like it. Ectoplasm, who stopped in the middle of a complex math problem, denied immediately. But the worst came during the brief pause between classes. Himiko insisted in getting close to him so the other students had to form a human barrier between them, as Midoriya seemed to enter in ignoring mode every time he heard her voice. And during lunch, a certain brunette decided to confront her.

"Oh, Ochako! Good to see you all fine and healed. Oh, look, we're using the same uniform now! Don't I look cute is this?~"

"Why…?"

"Huh? Well, I came here because of Izuku and-"

"What? No, why are you asking me how do you look?! Where that came from?"

"But he asked… oh, forget it. We're friends, right? I just wanted your opinion. What a girl has to do to get a simple compliment around here?"

"The uniform is cute, but it doesn't help when the person inside it is rotten"

"Ouchie, right in the feels"

"And you know what? Why did you come here, anyway? You admitted you lost to me"

"Yes, I lost and you got out with Izuku, but I never said I would give up on him. That's why I came here and surrendered myself. If the mountain doesn't come to that old man, then you gotta make lemonade"

"Its if the mountain doesn't come- argh, listen up! I'm not going to let you hurt him anymore!" Ochako slammed her hand on the table. Himiko looked at her with a bored face.

"I don't want to hurt him anymore. If nothing, I want him to hurt me, if you know what mean~" A devilish smile appeared in her lips.

Ochako then pulled Himiko by the collar of her shirt.

"Hey, you're going to tear it!"

"Listen, and listen well. Stay. Away. From him"

Himiko lowered her eyelids a little, looking at Ochako's serious face.

"Uuh, scary Ochako is back~ I told you your face would get stuck like this"

The brunette let go of her, then turned to leave.

"One more thing. I think you know it already but… I really hate you"

"No, no, let's be friends"

Ochako turned around again.

"Friends?! Hell no, I just said I hate you"

"No, really, let's be good friends. I want only Izuku to hate me"

"You… what?"

She rested her chin on her hand as she spoke.

"Izuku said he hates me with all his heart~ You and your intimate friends can't say that now, can you? Having his heart all to yourself"

"That… that doesn't even make sense"

"Well, I'm crazy. Sense is disposable for me! At least that's what Twice said"

"W-whatever. As long as you stay away from him"

"Let's be friends, Ochako~"

"Not in a million years"

"I insist~"

"I refuse!"

At the 1-A dorms, everyone followed with their eyes as Himiko walked around the place, carrying the futon she received and looking around like a kid in the zoo for the first time. Iida, being the class rep, was responsible for showing her the place and her room. Needless to say, he didn't like this a single bit but forced himself to act accordingly, resulting in a robot guiding the blonde around. It would be fun to watch if she didn't have a criminal record long enough to turn Sato into a mummy.

"And this is your room. Aizawa asked me to explain this to you. The room has sensors connected to your collar. You must be at your room before eleven pm or if anyone commands you to. You what happens if you don't follow the orders… right?"

"Yes, zap. Don't worry, robot-kun. I know the drill"

"R-robot-kun?!"

"Yeah. Your Quirk makes you walk all stiff like this, right?" She walked around with her arms straight like the tall teen.

"T-Toga-san! My Quirk allows me to run fast, not being a robot!"

"But you even have those exhausts here…" She crouched and poked his engines, which made Iida step back.

"Don't mock my engines! They are a symbol of pride to my family and the legacy I carry with honor!"

"Okay, okay, sorry! Didn't mean to offend. So, umm, is racer-kun better for you?"

He thought about this for a moment, then loosened his defense a bit.

"Toga-san, may I ask you why do you feel the need to give me a nickname?"

"Huh? Friends do that with each other, don't they?"

"Friends?"

"Yeah, friends. We study in the same class now and you showed me the place. Doesn't it make us friends?"

Iida adjusted his glasses.

"I'm only doing my job as the class rep. And you really aim to make friends with everyone?"

"I'll at least try. Just forget this murder thing and you'll see I'm really nice to hang out with!"

"Like I can simply ignore something serious like this!"

"I know that! Hahahaha, Racer-kun, you're too serious about everything. I don't expect anyone to forgive me or even being friendly. I'm just doing what I feel like doing. Beyond that, there's something I want to prove"

"Something… you want to prove?"

"Yes, that I can change. I mean, not only my body. Like, really change"

"I… see…"

Iida turned around and left Himiko alone, unaware of the green mess of hair poking around the corner. Himiko, on the other hand, was very aware of his presence, which was why she decided to joke with Iida and say those things.

"You know, if you keep spying me like that, I'll start to think you're jealous"

She saw the green hair shake a little, then Midoriya showed himself and got a little closer to her, standing some meters away from her.

"You think… you can change what I feel about you?"

"Well, you can't blame me to at least try. What else can I do?"

"What do you win with all this?"

"I don't know yet. Most of the times I just do what I feel like. Live the moment, I guess"

Midoriya took some steps closer.

"I still hate you with all my forces"

"I know sweetie, I'm really happy~"

"Is this a game for you?"

"No. Is this a game for you?"

He took another step forward, being inches away from her face.

"If you keep getting closer, I won't be able to contain myself, I-zu-ku~"

"Get… get used to it. You wanted to be close to me, didn't you? Then you'll have to deal with it, being that close and still not being able to touch me" Midoriya managed to flash a shaky grin.

"Oh really?" She held his hands, entwining their fingers and touching their foreheads. Midoriya backed away like she was a hot iron bar. "Principal White Mouse said I could hold your hand, did you forget?~ And look, we're on the same floor! Too bad I can't go to your room late at night but I'll let my door unlocked, okay?~"

Midoriya just turned around and left with hurried steps. Once inside his room, he locked the door and leaned on it, bringing a hand to his chest. He felt his heart thumping hard as it would explode, and his breathing became labored.

"I did it… ~pant~ I faced her again… I can- ~huff~ I can do this…!"

Morning of the next day came and everyone was already up and ready to class, except one person.

"Oi, she will be late this way" Kirishima said.

"Someone has to wake her up" Kaminari looked at the redhead. Everyone looked to the girls then, making them flinch a little. Jiro was the first to argue.

"Wait up, why us?"

"Well, it wouldn't be very manly to a guy enter a girl's room like this"

"Ribbit, why do we have to put up with this?"

"It can't be helped. At least let's decide with rock, paper, scissors" Yaoyorozu said. Unfortunately, she was too confident of her own skills and lost all the times.

The black haired girl let out a frustrated sigh and headed to the second floor. In front of the door, she knocked and turned the knob, opening the door.

"T-Toga-san, you're going to be late to-"

She froze in place when she looked inside the room and found Himiko sleeping in a weird position, wearing only light pink bear panties.

"How in the world can you sleep like this?!"

"Hah…?" The blonde woke up and sat on the futon, rubbing her eyes. "Oh… good morning, Ponytail-chan ~yawn~ is breakfast ready…?"

"It was ready half an hour ago and- first, what are you even wearing?!"

Himiko looked down and back to the girl at the door.

"I just have the uniform. Sleeping dressed will wrinkle it and Aizawa-sensei will be mad at me"

"Don't you have... any other clothes?"

Himiko casually got up and stretched her arms up.

"Not really. I had a spare cardigan but it was at one of my old hideouts. I can't go there and take it, can I?"

"A-anyway, get changed already. I'll talk with Aizawa-sensei about this later…"

"Really?! Then can I ask you to bring me some cute clothes? Thank you, Ponytail-chan!~"

"I'm not doing this because I want! And where did that nickname came from?! We're not friends or anything like that!"

"Aah, another one thinking too much about the past… Just to make it easier, I only want Izuku to hate me so let's be friends, Ponytail-chan~"

"These are things you can't get by simply asking"

"Asking doesn't offend"

"Get dressed already!"

"Understood, Captain Ponytail!"

During one of the pauses between the classes, Himiko was fiddling with her hair strands when a shadow cast over her. She looked up and found Ashido glaring at her with her hands resting on her waist. A uniform float behind her.

"Sorry, we haven't been presented yet. Toga Himiko"

"... Bitch…"

"Umm, okay. Pleased to meet you, Bitch-chan~"

Ashido slammed a hand on the table, almost making Himiko fall from her chair.

"Mina-chan, stay calm" Hagakure rested a hand on Ashido's shoulder.

"Oh, Mina-chan then. Do you mind if I call you Horny-chan?"

"Are you kidding me?!" Mina held on the collar of her shirt. "You don't have any idea of how much I want to wipe out that stupid blush from your face, you freak"

"No, not freak, it's Himiko. Hi-mi-ko"

"Aaargh!"

"Mina, let her go. We can't let her get on our nerves"

Himiko tilted her head and looked at Tooru's direction.

"Toga Himiko. You are?"

"Eh?! Umm, Hagakure Tooru"

"Umm, Tooru-chan, don't your clothes get in the way of your invisibility?"

"Well, yes. I take them off when I want to completely vanish"

The blonde's face lit up like a beam of sunlight.

"Oh, I get it. Hentai-chan, then!~"

Mina had to prevent Tooru from jumping at Himiko's neck while the blonde laughed her head off. Today she was as annoying as in the previous day and was equally scolded by the teachers. And during lunch, she received yet another visit to the table she sat alone. Hatsume simply walked by, sat at her side and started to poke and look at her collar. Himiko, a little surprised with the straightforward approach, took some time to react.

"Hey, watch out! Are you trying to get me killed?! Oh wait, you probably are…" She said, backing away from the pink haired girl.

"Hmm, so you can't touch it… Don't worry, the sensors will only get triggered if you try to remove it. I can touch it just fine. I have to say, Power Loader-sensei did an awesome job here…"

"And you are…?"

"Hatsume Mei, Support Course, class 1-H. You're the piece of trash that kidnapped Izuku, Toga Himiko"

"I guess my reputation precedes me. So, are you too in the Izuku Sex Squad or-"

"Shhhh! What the hell to think you're saying out loud?" Mei covered her mouth and looked around. Luckily Himiko was isolated and being heavily ignored. The girl slowly removed the hand spoke at whisper level.

"So it's a yes. I could tell, to be honest"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Come on, with these big boobs of yours, of course he would put you in the group" Himiko said actually grabbing one of Mei's breasts. The young inventor pulled away and covered, tried to cover her chest with her arms.

"H-he didn't- Izuku doesn't care about those things!"

"Really? So why did you two started to f-"

"Shhhh! Can't you shut that mouth?! Just so you know, Izuku and I have a lot of things in common, and we love each other"

"Okay, I get it. Let me guess, you hate me, I better stay away from him, you want to give me a serious beat or all of the above, right?"

"Heh, you're less stupid than I thought"

"Thank you for the compliment, Busty-chan~"

Mei opened her mouth to argue but decided to remain silent and just leave. Himiko stared as she left and before she went too far, the blonde shouted.

"Oh, your butt looks pretty nice even with those pants!"

"Shut up!"

"Well then, my young man and ladies, today's training is a basic Quirk strengthening," All Might said and then a lot of complaining followed. "Young Midoriya, since you're still recovering, Mt. Lady will help you with the proper exercises"

Midoriya nodded and looked to the side where Yu was standing, waving at him with a smile, and he waved back. Then, a hand was raised.

"Yes, Young Toga?"

"All Might-sensei, can I help Izuku with his rehabilitation?" Everyone clenched the fists or gritted their teeth. She had to be joking, right?

"I'm afraid not. In fact, we have to conduct an exam of your physical abilities"

"Eh?! But the short old lady from the infirmary already examined me"

"This is another type of exam. Now, follow me. The rest of you, you may begin the training. I'll join you to give advice when I'm done with Young Toga" All Might moved to another area, having Himiko following him with a pout while the rest of the class glared at her. Meanwhile, Midoriya was already warming up with Mt. Lady.

"So, how are you handling this?"

"Quite well, I guess. I hate to admit but sometimes I feel like I'm going to freak out like when she appeared… but I think I'm making some progress"

"Don't force yourself too much, okay?"

"Okay"

"Seriously… I still don't believe you accepted it. You didn't have any obligation, even if she knows things"

"I didn't accept it because of that"

"Oh, no?"

"Yeah. How can I say… I have to face my fears if I want to get over them, and she's basically the thing I fear the most right now"

"What did the psychologist said about it?"

"That it was a good idea with a poor execution"

"Too soon?"

"Too soon… but I want to get over it as fast as I can. There are the lessons to catch up to, and I have a lot of work at the gym just waiting for me-"

Yu stopped his stretching and held him close to her. She didn't care if someone saw them.

"You can't rush these things, Izuku. I know you want to be strong and get better every day but… just take it easy for some time. You'll make us all worry sick this way"

Izuku felt her hands brush through his hair, soothing him and washing away the feeling of rush he had within him. The boy let out a sigh and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Okay. Sorry to make you worry so much"

"You say sorry too much" Yu said and lightly flicked his forehead.

"Sorry- I mean…"

"Hahahaha, I missed you so much, honey…"

"I missed you too"

From some distance Sero, currently doing pull-ups with his tape, watched the scene unfolding.

"Man, Midoriya must be having a hard time. Look, Mt. Lady had to comfort him"

"Don't let yourself be fooled, women are dangerous creatures…" Mineta said as he constantly popped purple balls from his head.

Todoroki, being near them, turned his attention to the green haired teen and something crossed his mind while he lit one side in flames and frost the other at the same time.

"Maybe… I should give him a hug too…?"

Kirishima and Ojiro stopped their sparring to look at the icy hot teen while he held a blank expression.

Kyoka was at the common room tuning her guitar. As she promised to herself before, she would play something to Izuku once he got back from his extra class. Once she was done, she started to pull the strings, playing a random melody that just appeared in her mind. She got a little absorbed in it so she didn't notice a peculiar guest sitting close to her. Only when the messy buns of blond hair came really close to her face she noticed Himiko's presence.

"What the- How long have you been here?!"

"Not much. Keep playing, I liked it!"

"You liked?" Kyoka raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, you're really good at this. Not that I have any reference, but you seem pretty good. Umm, you are the one with the speakers, the loud one"

Kyoka got a light hue of pink in her cheeks, remembering of a comment Izuku made about her being the loudest one.

"What… what do you mean by that?"

"Your Quirk makes lots of noise, right?"

"Yeah, I can do that too"

"So… Noisy-chan?"

"Noisy-chan…?"

"I'm thinking of a cute nick for you. It's easier than remembering names"

"At least try to show some interest in others… and can't you think of something better?"

"Hmmm, how about… DJ-chan?"

"I'm not a DJ"

"Eternal Flat, then?"

"Who you're calling flat?!"

"Hehehehe, just kidding!~ How about Aux Cord?"

"You better stop right there…"

"Okay, I give up. So how should I call you?"

"I would prefer that you don't talk to me but, my name is Jiro Kyoka"

"Kyoka-chan!~"

"Don't be so intimate"

Tsuyu was going to the laundry take her clothes when she found a scene she could only describe as weird. Himiko was sorting the clothes of everyone in piles by color and fabric, even her own clothes. She carefully approached the blonde and tried to look closer at what she was doing, when suddenly Himiko moved her hand, stopping it inches away from her face. A little bit closer and Tsuyu would have been clawed. She saw for a brief moment a killing intent coming from the blonde's eyes as she turned her head, but it quickly melted into an innocent and surprised look.

"Tsu-chan! Gosh, don't scare me like that!~"

"You got scared?!" "Only my friends call me that…"

"Tsuyu-chan, what brings you here?"

"It's Asui for you, and I came to pick my clothes. What are you doing here?"

"Oh, I saw these clothes here and decided to wash them for everyone. I guess the ones at the machine are yours. Well, they weren't clean enough so I'll wash them again. Don't worry your cute head, okay?~"

"Do you even know how to wash clothes?"

"Of course I do" She looked to the sides, checking if anyone was around and gesture to Tsuyu to come closer. The frog girl hesitated but she insisted. Leaning closer, Himiko whispered to her. "You know, I have a secret way to remove blood stains. It never fails. If you want, I can show you how"

"I'll pass"

"Too bad. Umm, Tsuyu-chan"

"... What?"

"I wanted to know if… if you could, like…"

"Ribbit, spit it out already"

"Can you tell me which are Izuku's clothes?"

Tsuyu just stared with a blank expression at the blonde.

"Ribbit… You were trying to find it from the beginning and decided to wash the clothes as an excuse, didn't you?"

"Whaaat? Of course not"

"I hit right in the spot, didn't I?"

"... Yup"

"~sigh~ I don't feel like discussing this now, ribbit… Just… wash the clothes and don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong"

"Okay, you can go do your frog things while I get busy here~ Bye bye, Tsuyu-chan~"

"Call me Asui!"

Surprisingly, her clothes had never been so clean. It looked like they were bought yesterday.

Himiko was in the common room now, upside down in the couch, dangling her legs. With everyone avoiding her and deciding to ignore the homework, she had nothing better to do. Then she heard footsteps entering the room and she quickly got up.

"Izuku, you're- you're not Izuku…"

She went from radiant to gloomy in a second when she laid her eyes on Nemuri.

"Yeah, I'm not happy to see your face either. Here" She tossed Himiko a brown bag.

"What is this? I hope it isn't homework, 'cause I already gave on doing what Aizawa-sensei passed and-"

"Can you please save me from hearing your voice?"

"Sorry I sound like a cute pretty girl, granny"

An intense aura flared from Nemuri. She rested her hands on Himiko's shoulders with some excessive strength.

"Hah? What was that? I can't hear well with that annoying voice of yours. Did you say something about my age? Are you sure?"

Himiko recoiled a bit as Nemuri was emanating dangerous vibes.

"Umm, no, of course not ma'am" "She can make a scary look just like Ochako. Is this some kind of technique?!"

The menacing aura diluted and Nemuri let her go, but still glared at the girl.

"You are a student now, do your homework"

"It's boring"

"Like I care! You wanted this, now follow the rules"

"Do I get zapped if I don't do my homework?"

"Wanna find out?"

"Umm, I don't think so. Anyway, this bag you gave me…" She opened and gasped, proceeding to inspect the contents with more interest. "Clothes! A lot of clothes! I hope they are cute!"

"Don't expect much. Yaoyorozu came to Aizawa and said you didn't have any, so he talked with the principal and I ended being the one to pick them for you. You're lucky I have good taste, though I would like to laugh at what Mic had in mind for you"

"Thank you"

"Huh?" Nemuri looked confused. The blonde was still looking at the clothes but she was sure she heard something. "What did you just say?"

The blonde looked up and repeated. "Thank you. You say that when you receive a gift. That's… that's how it works, right?"

The black haired woman took a moment to process that. "Yeah, that's how it works. I just didn't expect that from you"

"I know. Umm, Kayama-sensei, wasn't it? I may have some tiny little problems but I'm trying to change"

"Hmm, tiny little problems, you say. Why trying to change, anyway?"

"Well, Izuku said we couldn't be together because I was a villain, so I'll stop being one"

"Do you really think it is that simple?" Nemuri felt her anger building up again.

"No way. Izuku clearly said he hates me. I won't deny it was fun to see him covered in blood either. But I'm trying to push these things in the past. He said he would get over me. Well, I might get over myself too"

The pro hero looked at the villain or former villain, as she said she was trying to be and found herself slightly amused. Could it be that being near Izuku was enough a motivation to change so drastically? If yes, this crazy blonde might truly love-

"No, no, Nemuri. Think straight! There's no way this girl could love him. This is just a game to her, a way of getting what she wants"

"Well, now you don't have to use the uniform all the time"

"I'll keep sleeping only in my panties, though"

"May I ask why?"

"Fufufu" She had a devilish smile crossing her lips. "You know, Izuku might visit my room in the middle of the night and-"

"Like he would do that!"

Nemuri let out a frustrated sigh. She wanted to beat the life out of that girl but she had to keep this feeling in check. She turned around and left the dorms but stopped when she saw Izuku leaning on the wall next to the door.

"Izuku? You… you were listening?"

"... Sorry, I didn't mean to pry"

"What are you talking about, I was just giving the brat some clothes"

"Yeah, Momo told me what happened earlier"

"... Do you believe in that? In what she said?"

Izuku ran a hand through his hair.

"Trying to change for me, huh? It sounds like an anime plot or something like that. But…"

"But?"

He looked at her with a glimpse of uncertainty in his eyes.

"When I was… at that room, I started to get lost in my thoughts sometimes… and more than once I got to imagine, how would she be if she wasn't, well, a total psycho and an assassin"

"And…?"

"I'm not sure… sometimes it sounded possible"

Nemuri held his hand and brought him into a warm hug, ruffling his green locks.

"Don't think too much about it. I get it that you're trying to overcome your fear. Just don't try too hard to do this all by yourself. I'm here, you know?"

"Yu said the same thing today"

"That means we're right, don't you think?"

"Yeah, probably"

"Surely"

On her way to the gym, Kendo spotted the green haired teen and the teacher from the corner of her eyes. Looking again, she got a surprised expression and stopped in her tracks.

"Kendo-chan? What happened?" Tsunotori Pony asked the orange haired girl.

"Oh, nothing, just… look there. Midoriya must be working really hard to deal with this situation"

"The rumors were right, the villain who kidnapped him is really a student of U.A now, and on the same class as him!"

"Vlad-sensei didn't explain why but he said the final decision was taken by Midoriya himself. I wonder what could make him do it"

"Why not ask him?"

"What? No, we barely know each other and I don't want to touch on sensitive matters. Plus, I think he has a good reason"

"Really? I can't think of any"

"Let's say I have a good view of him" Kendo thought of the way Yaoyorozu described him.

At her side, Tsunotori had a sly grin forming in her mouth.

"Oh, could it be that our class rep is falling for the green boy from 1-A?"

Kendo got a faint blush and stuttered a bit.

"W-what are you s-saying Tsunotori? Who is falling for who here?"

"You are starting to have a crush on Midoriya. I don't blame you, he's cute"

"I don't have a crush. Besides, I have the feeling he already has someone…"

"Yeah, the gravity girl, right?"

"Huh? Her?"

"Yeah, they seem pretty close to me"

"Yaoyorozu-san…"

"So, do you ship him with someone, Kendo-chan? Self-insertion doesn't count~"

"Would you stop this? Umm, I guess… Yaoyorozu?"

"Her? Why?"

"He seems pretty smart. Maybe he likes smart girls"

"I would say he's more like a nerd, so he would like cute girls. Shiozaki-chan ships him with the pink haired one"

"You mean Ashido?"

"No, the other one, from the Support Course"

"Ooh… wait, does everyone ships him?"

"Didn't you know? We even made a chart"

"Uuh…"

"Komori-chan ships him with Ashido, Yanagi-chan likes the green couple, Kodai-chan defends MidoxJiro and Tokage-chan is cheering for Todoroki"

"T-Todoroki?!"

"Yeah. I don't like yaoi that much but I have to say it's a very dangerous ship, you know~"

"Please don't give me weird thoughts"

"Well, from now on I'll be cheering for you too, Kendo-chan" The short blonde said giving a thumbs up and walking ahead of the orange haired girl.

"Who said I need cheering?!"

"Oh, I didn't know you were so confident, Kendo-chan~"

"S-stop talking about it!"

It was around ten pm and Izuku currently had his face buried in a book, the third one just today. He stretched his arms up and rubbed his eyes, blinking a few times. He was glad Iida and Momo made him this study guide to help him catch up but it was way too long and more complex than Aizawa's lessons at some points. He was used to making his own annotations with his own system so using this proved to be more difficult than he thought. Maybe he should just ask Momo to help him, but he could end overloading her, and there was the risk of getting distracted with… other matters. Giving a little slap on his cheeks, he focused on the book again, following the annotations and tips his friends made.

"Whatcha doing?"

"Waaah!"

Izuku almost jumped out of his skin, and then he froze when he saw the person behind him

"Himiko?! How did you get here?!"

"The door was unlocked" She pointed a finger to the open door.

Izuku mentally facepalmed and quickly got up, taking some distance from the girl.

"Hey, relax. I won't bite. Well, probably~"

"What do you want here?"

"Again that question? I came here for you-"

"In my room"

"Oh. Still, I came here for you. I'm bored, let's play something"

Izuku felt his eye twitching, though his legs were shaking.

"Really. Play?"

"Yeah, no one wants to play with me"

"Maybe because you're a villain and crazy?"

"You got me there. So, what do you want to do?"

"I- Can't you see I'm trying to study?"

"Noo, studying is boring… How many times do I have to tell you guys that?"

"It's not supposed to be fun, anyway"

"Well, since you need you need to study so much…"

Himiko laid on his bed and rested the chin in her hands, dangling her leg back and forth.

"What are you doing?"

"Watching you study"

"Can… can you not?"

"Why?"

"It'll distract me"

"I'll be silent as a mouse"

"That would make me even more nervous…"

"You know, the door is open and there's this little thing in my neck…" She pointed to the white collar. "I can't make you any harm like this. Not that I want to, anyway"

"Are you… really trying to change yourself?"

Her eyes lit up when he asked that.

"Yes. What? Do you want me to stab and cut you again? If so I can do that any time and-"

"No! Umm, no. But why do you care? I said I don't like you"

"I thought you hated me" She quirked an eyebrow.

"I hate you. Good thing you know that"

Himiko sighed and sat on his bed.

"Izuku, did you know love is a powerful feeling?"

"Yeah, so what? You're telling me you'll change because you love me?"

"That, and so you can love me too"

"Ha! dream on"

"But the dream is real. We're chatting normally right now, aren't we?"

This shook Izuku more than he expected. She had a point.

"This doesn't change anything. You still… you still made go through a living nightmare"

"What do I have to do so you can forgive me?"

"Forgive you? Are you serious?!"

"Yes. I won't ask you to forget it all happened. I don't want you to forget of my first time…"

"Y-you had to mention that?"

"It's special for me~"

There she was again, acting like a normal girl, tricking him into lower his defenses, but not today. The collar emitted two short beeps and she got up.

"Well, guess it's my time to leave. Don't want to have a shocking surprise" She stopped at the doorway and looked at him, with her hands behind her. "You didn't answer me yet"

"Huh? Answer?"

"What do I have to do so you can forgive me? It doesn't need to be at once. I'm fine doing it bit by little bit"

The answer struck him with confusion. She looked really serious about this, so much that it was like she was another person. Then again, she was used to doing this. This could be a habit or a plan to trick him again. Either way, something inside Izuku told him to at least say something.

"Umm… you could… you could at least try to study, you know. It's not funny but you're a student now, like it or not. Then again, you only do what you want-"

"Study? Okay"

"Wait, really?"

"If that makes you happy… No, if you think I should, I'll do it. Sleep well, Izuku"

She waved to him and left without looking back, leaving Izuku alone with his confusion and a pile of accumulated homework.

"You… too?"

That night, Izuku laid in his bed with his head full of thoughts while Himiko slept with a smile on her face. And only using panties.

And for the rest of the week, and on the days that followed, something that no one expected happened. Repeatedly. Himiko started to pay attention in the classes, even doing her homework. Turns out the girl was pretty smart when it came to math, physics, and not exactly a surprise, biology. History classes were a little difficult as she lost her focus easily but compared to when she arrived you could tell she was really trying.

She asked questions during classes and solved problems, coming out as a pretty participative student. She still got on Aizawa nerves sometimes but he couldn't say much from her performance as she did pretty well in a special test he prepared for her. For someone who skipped years of school, that is. Her personality was still a problem as Himiko never missed an opportunity to say what she thought. Align that with a great lack of common sense and you get a mouthy girl with a twisted innocent nature.

Another big surprise came during the hero classes. No expected the blonde to be so athletic and go so far in her training. Since she couldn't exactly strengthen her Quirk, Himiko mainly focused on training her body running, practicing combat and even lifting some weight. One day in special, everyone had to go through another obstacle course and Himiko ranked pretty high for someone who didn't have a Quirk with mobility advantages, having a score slightly higher than Tsuyu and Mina.

Then, All Might came up with a little tournament, aiming to focus on close combat. The objective here was to teach the young ones that they didn't have to rely completely on their powers and that honing other skills would help them improve their overall capabilities. Of course, just to be a little fair, he chose who would fight with who, resulting in some interesting matches.

Todoroki against Sero, two guys that almost only used their Quirks. Kyoka and Kaminari, both long-range fighters. Kirishima versus Bakugo, skilled fighter versus combat genius. Midoriya against Sato, basically brain versus muscles. But the most interesting fight surely was Uraraka against Himiko. All Might paired them innocently, as both couldn't directly use their Quirks in a fight. He also knew about Uraraka's Internship with Gunhead so he wanted to check out what were the 'ex-villain' skills. The girls watched with attention while the green teen tried to hide his anxiety.

"Hmm, this brings back memories, don't you think?"

"Unfortunately, yes" Ochako took her fight stance.

"Oh come on, it was fun~" Himiko did the same, though her stance looked to have lots of openings.

"I don't understand your sense of fun a single bit"

"Fun is fun, what else is there to understand?" Himiko said as she made the first move, throwing a punch with the right.

And then they started. Different from the last time, this fight remained balanced the entire time, for two reasons. One, Ochako was trying to suppress her anger and don't vent off her frustration on the blonde, though she really wanted to do so. Two, Himiko was being sincere when she said it was fun for her. Even not having any sharp things to cut her friend, she was having fun exchanging punches with Ochako.

Outside the fight, Midoriya followed with his eyes both girls. It felt different from the last time, probably because his current condition was completely different, but he was sensing another vibe coming from them. It was like Himiko was lacking her usual killing intent. Another thing he noticed, Ochako didn't have it either. He shouldn't think this about her but, after what he saw that night, it was clear to him that Ochako had yet another side he didn't know well.

He became so immersed in the fight, which was taking longer than the previous ones, that he naturally took one of his notebooks and started to take notes. He focused mainly on the brunette, making some sketches of the style she adopted and how she used the opponent's strength to her advantage. When Izuku noticed what he was doing, though, he had already filled two new pages with notes on how Himiko fought. When did he even start to look at her?

Well, it was natural, she was fighting Ochako. Taking notes on her would not be a bad thing, right? In the future he could use this as an advantage, in case of the blonde trying to do something against them, so he kept taking notes. She was more agile and didn't have any formal style of fighting, so she moved smoothly, being quite unpredictable and full of surprise moves and counter attacks. Midoriya concluded that she had acrobatic skills close to Mina's level, though much less refined since the pinkette used breakdance moves. Coming to think of it, maybe she shouldn't spend time learning a style at all, as it could make her moves more predictable and…

"Ribbit. Izuku, what are you muttering about?"

The got a little startled as Tsuyu dragged him out of his bubble. Looking at his notebook, there were two more pages completely filled with notes about Himiko.

"Oh, nothing. I was just watching Ochako's style of fight and… somehow I started to notice Himiko too"

"Know your enemy, right?"

"Yeah, something like that"

Weird as he felt, Midoriya found out that watching Himiko was… interesting. He felt a little spark of curiosity as he looked at her, but quickly brushed the feeling when he remembered of what she did to him. His mind had a quick flash of the dark room he was, but then the scene changed to her standing at his doorway last night.

"Man, I hate to say it but she fights pretty well. What do you think, BakuBro?"

"Of course she's a good fighter, idiot. She used to kill people, didn't she?"

"Yeah, but she's not trying to kill anyone now. Like, no assassination techniques or anything"

"Do you think this an anime?! If she tries something, the collar stops her! She's not that stupid!"

"Okay, I get it. What do you think, Midoriya? Midoriya? Bro, are you okay? Midoriya?"

Izuku blinked twice at Kirishima when the redhead waved an arm in front of him. His mind was in another place.

"I… what?"

"Her fighting skills, what do you think? You like to analyze this kind of thing, don't you?"

"I guess… I agree with Kacchan" He overheard something from the explosive teen. "But, it's more like she's not even trying to fight. She's… just playing, maybe?"

All the eyes slowly turned to the blonde. She noticed that but didn't care at all. She was having fun with Ochako. But then she looked at Midoriya and his eyes were focused specifically on her as if he was reading all of her moves. That made her beyond happy so she decided to show off a bit. She did more flashy and acrobatic maneuvers, most of them unnecessary, which made it easier to Ochako to catch her off guard. The brunette managed to hold Himiko in some submissions but she didn't get to finish as the girl was pretty slick. One moment of distraction and Himiko got Ochako in an armlock using her legs. It took the brunette more strength and ability than she expected to get rid of it and reverse the situation, holding Himiko in a headlock.

"Okay, okay, I give up!" Himiko gave quick taps on Ochako's leg, but she took her time to release her hold on the blonde.

Both were short-breathed and sweating. Ochako sat in the floor a minute, then felt a shadow cast over her. Looking up, Himiko offered her a hand while showing a fanged slime. Ochako moved the hand away and got up herself, bumping their shoulders as she walked past her. All Might came to Himiko to try and give her at least a piece of advice.

"I'm impressed with your performance, Young Toga. Maybe you should work to be more precise. Sometimes you made unnecessary moves, which gave opportunities to your opponent"

"Thanks, All Might-sensei!~ Oh, can we keep doing this? I'd love to fight with Fire Head or Kung Fu-kun"

While All Might tried to guess who she was referring too, Kirishima was already getting up in the ring while Ojiro stated that he was closer to a karate fighter. The skull looking man said that they could keep the sparring as long as they didn't exceed themselves, and walked off, looking for Midoriya. The boy was leaning on a wall, apparently reviewing the notes he made.

"You seem to have a lot in your mind, Young Midoriya"

"Ah, All Might. Umm, there's a lot of lessons to catch up. Iida and Yaoyorozu helped me a little but it's still a lot of work"

"I wasn't exactly referring to the classes, but it's good to see you're working hard on your studies. How does your body feel?"

"The rehab is still going but I can use Full Cowl normally already. 8% is still a little far, though" Midoriya looked at his fist while he spoke.

"And… how have you been feeling lately?" The skinny man looked at the direction of the ring, where Kirishima was now fighting with Himiko.

"Ah, that… I… I'm getting over it. I don't panic around her anymore"

"Are you sure this is a good thing?"

"Why wouldn't it be?"

"There is more than one way to overcome a fear. One of them is facing it. Other is covering it with a stronger feeling, like anger, for example"

"I'm not-"

"I know, it just came to my head that you could feel like that. It's only normal to anger take over you after you went through"

"... Honestly, I hate her. I told her that more than once but…"

"But?"

"She keeps saying the same thing. Not only that, she acts as if she could convince me to change my mind. One week ago she didn't care a single bit about school and now she… she's really trying to change because of me…?"

"This girl, Toga Himiko, didn't grow up like a normal kid. Her common sense is very divergent from ours and she doesn't care much about what others think about her. The fact that your opinion means this much to her is a concerning matter"

"Do you think she really… loves me?"

"Love, huh…? Maybe it's not a word strong enough to describe what she feels for you. Considering her nature, 'obsessed' seems more appropriate than 'in love' with you"

Toshinori didn't want to pry much further at that topic but something had been nagging at the back of his mind for some time now.

"Young Midoriya, if you don't want to answer just say it but, you didn't tell us everything that happened when we asked you, am I correct?"

Izuku tensed up a little.

"Why do you ask…?"

The tall man let out a sigh.

"After capturing her, Chiyo took care of her wounds and made a complete check-up. There was a suspect that she could be hiding something with her body"

"And you found something?"

"No, nothing out of normalcy. She found something else, instead" He made a brief pause as it wasn't an easy topic to address. "According to Chiyo, Toga Himiko had… intimate relations with someone. Her location on these three weeks is known so, well, you can understand where I'm going"

The teen looked down at his feet, clenching his first. He felt a hand rest on his shoulders, which made him look up. All Might had a concerned face that still managed to tranquilize him a little.

"I cannot imagine how you feel about it but I understand why you didn't want to tell, my boy. Don't think you're guilty of something, or that this changes anything in your future. You couldn't do anything about it and all the blame goes to the person that did this to you"

"I… I know that… The problem is, the more I look at her… more I feel in doubt…"

"That's why we seek for help. You don't have to deal with it alone"

"Thanks… All Might"

There was a moment of silence before Toshinori talked again.

"Ahem, Young Midoriya, about that, just one more question. Remember when you came to ask me about One for All and I told of a certain side effect?" There was uneasiness all over the blond's face.

"Y-yeah, that…"

"We… Chiyo took some measures but, just to be sure, did you feel that effect while she…"

Midoriya slowly understood what his mentor was meaning.

"O-oh, I… I… Oh, wait. I can't remember well. Did… did I?"

Midoriya started to panic a bit. He didn't remember of One for All kicking in a single time, yet according to Aizawa, the annulling dart lost its effect during after the second week. So that meant his Quirk should be active by the time Himiko… did it with him. Or maybe the extended time with the thing stuck on him made his Quirk return slowly. He was starting to control this 'technique', if he could call it that, so maybe the fact that he thought he couldn't use his Quirk forced his body to ignore it. Then again, like it or not, he and Himiko went through very long 'sessions' and he didn't feel tired, considering his previous experiences. Okay, she wasn't that good and he wasn't making an effort. Still, it was quite impressive. So the 'training' Nemuri put him on was giving more results than expected.

"Young Midoriya, do you have something in mind?"

Izuku snapped back to reality.

"N-no. I was just worried that… that I could have, you know, get her-"

"Don't worry, you'll not become a father so soon" Very smooth, All Might.

"O-oh, that's awesome. Whew, one less problem to deal with" Je laughed nervously as his mind wandered to his many girlfriends. He should tell them how this worked soon. Curiously, none of them seemed to care that they did it so many times without protection. But Izuku brushed his thoughts aside at least for now as he didn't want to think about it with his idol in front of him.

That night, Midoriya was again with his face buried in a book when he a whisper in his ear, feeling a pair of arms wrapping around his neck.

"For this problem, you have to find the root of the equation"

Midoriya tensed up but didn't shout or jumped like the other times. He just wasn't expecting Himiko or anyone to appear now. She was wearing a pink sleeveless tank top and brown shorts.

"Tsk. What do you think you're doing here?" He said removing her arms from him and turning around to face her.

"Well, I finished my homework so I thought about helping with yours"

"Look at the clock, it's almost eleven"

A coy smile crossed her lips.

"Aw, are you worried that I'll lit up like a Christmas Tree?~"

"Not as much as you think"

"Actually I just wanted to see you. I have been pretty busy"

"Yeah, I noticed…"

"Hmm, is there something else you noticed?~"

He stared at her while she waited for his response with a smile.

"You… you have been studying"

"Yes! Like I said I would. So, are you slightly happier now?~"

"Happier?"

"Yup, you said you wanted me to study, so I'm studying"

"If you think this will make me forgive you, you're very mistaken"

"Then what should I do now?"

"How am I supposed to know?"

"I don't know, just tell me and I'll do it"

"Oh yeah, then how about jumping from a bridge?"

"What bridge and when?"

"Wait, really?!"

"Yes" She sat on his bed, looking at the carpet. "I definitely prefer something that will allow me to be with you after, but if you want this so much. With some luck, I can just break my bones"

He didn't believe in the words he just heard.

"Are you really going to do whatever I say just so I can forgive you?"

"You still doubt?"

"... Why go so far for me?"

"I love you, Izuku"

"... Don't you think… you are just obsessed with me? What happens when you get bored?"

"I won't ever get bored. That is impossible. Plus, love, obsession, whatever. Aren't the two things the same?"

"T-there's a difference"

"Still, it doesn't change what I feel for you. But that doesn't mean the other girls are also obsessed?"

"No, they're not! I truly love them, and they love me too"

"If you're saying I'll trust you. I just wish you could love me like that too…"

"You know damn well why this won't happen"

"But I'll keep trying. There's nothing left for me to do, anyways" She said as she got up and left, stopping at his doorway again. "Ne, Izuku. One of these days, can you show me what you wrote about me in that notebook? I'm curious~" And with that, she left.

Izuku sat back at his chair, running a hand over his hair. She was serious about changing herself. Not only that, even if just a little, all the girls changed something so they could be with him. Did he really have this effect on others? Anyway, he hated her. Izuku hated Himiko for what she did, but if she was willing to go so far because of him, for how long should he hold that feeling for her? He didn't like that something she said actually was right. He at least held feelings for her.

End of Chapter

Would you look at that, she actually became a student. Too predictable? Even if it is, she's going to be a permanent part of the harem, Himiko will make sure of that. Also, I have to say it's funny to write her interacting/pestering the girls. And that's pretty much it, hope you all have liked. Leave a comment if you feel like. Thanks for reading and see you next week, amazing readers!
