"Can you PLEASE just stop for a moment?!" Kagome yells at Jikoku as he turns into what remains of the city area. Bits of broken buildings and structures litter the road with acting villains scattered in hiding places. "You're running in without a plan!" Jikoku could sense the actors there, catching wind of a few newer scents as he slows his pace to a jog.
"We'll be fine," he chuckles. "I can take them with my hands tied." Kagome rolls her eyes at the level of confidence the wolf was emitting. "You can too if you stop hol-"
"You fucking fleabag!" a loud voice booms from above, cutting off Jikoku and making him come to a stop. Said wolf snaps his attention towards the source of the insult as a sly smirk appears on his face.
"Say the one acting like a lost pup."
"Can you not do this right now?" Kagome groans as some choice words and a few explosions overpower her voice. Katsuki lands in front of them, anger falling off of him in waves. Jikoku tightens his grip on Kagome as he laughs.
"Am I making you mad, runt?"
Kagome sighs as a certain pair of demons come to mind, unable to suppress the annoyance she felt. Right now wasn't the time for schoolyard taunts and shitty attitudes, they were trying to get their damned provisional license. All day these two have been back and forth, not letting her have a moment to herself for more than a moment during this exam. The one true moment of peace she had was walking with Mina after passing the first half. Another sigh passes her lips, knowing she would need to thank the pink girl properly.
"-And why the hell are you still holding her?!" Katsuki's yell pulls Kagome from her thoughts, having not realized she had gone into a daze again.
"So you don't like the view?" Jikoku teases as he bounces her to draw attention to her skirt. A dark blush covers Kagome's face, feeling a cool breeze lift the red fabric slightly. "With the way you've been acting, I thought you would have loved the treat." Jikoku smacks her ass as he says treat. The action causes Kagome to shriek in shock and kick the wolf to free herself. Quickly getting to her feet, Kagome backs away from Jikoku with her hands covering her mouth. She was too flustered to do anything, wondering how she had gotten into this mess and why Jikoku was being so bold with her.
"Bastard!" the blond screams as he fires an AP shot at Jikoku. "I'll kill you!" Jikoku jumps away from the attack with ease and laughs.
"Such great words from a hero." Jikoku moves his hands behind his head, not taking Katsuki seriously. Coming out of her shock, Kagome notices there were more of those acting villains slowly closing in around them as Katsuki lunges himself towards Jikoku.
"You can't be serious right now," Kagome groans. "Guys we have a situation!" Yells and blasts cover her voice, leaving her to fend the group closing in. "Men," she scoffs while forming a bow and taking her aim. An upwards shot could put Jikoku at risk, making Kagome use her quick thinking as she shoots at the denser part of the group. The arrow breaks apart into fragments of energy, each exploding upon contact. The others take this as an opportunity to attack her. "How many of you are there?!" Kagome turns defensive, either dodging or blocking the blows and pushing them back with sudden barriers.
Unknown to her, however, Jikoku and Katsuki had stopped and focused their attention on Kagome fighting a group of adults. "That's what I've been waiting for!" Jikoku shouts in excitement.
"To watch her fight?! Are you insane?!" Katsuki snaps at him. "She needs my hel-"
"Just shut up and watch." Jikoku doesn't bother to glance at the blond beside him, analyzing everything she was doing as adrenaline rushes through him. Knocking them away faster than they could get back up, Kagome thins out the group around her. "Because you don't seem to know a damn thing about her."
As much as Katsuki wanted to retaliate, he couldn't. Not when he was entranced by how graceful and experienced Kagome's fighting is. Some of those moves he's seen the demons use, confusing him more than he had been about the situation. They had yet to talk about how she even knew them, but now she knows their attacks and can take on a group of adults with ease! Katsuki felt torn inside as he watched her, unable to recognize her yet at the same time knowing exactly who she is. Was she even still the same Kagome he grew up with?
The exam ends as the last survivor makes it to safety, granting rest to the students after a long day of testing. Once hearing the announcement, Kagome quickly makes her way to the results and leaves the two males behind without hesitation. Finding that she had passed, she sighs in relief. Curiosity gets the better of her as she skims for all of her classmates' names. Katsuki and Jikoku weren't up there, but neither was Shoto. A loud slam followed by an apology echoes out, causing Kagome to turn her attention to the source. It was the same male at the entrance and he was bowing to Shoto for making them fail the exam. She could tell there was something bitter between them, feeling the tension despite the taller male apologizing. Kagome makes her way over to them, curious as to what exactly made them fail but wanting to stay out of the way. Yet she got nothing. Shoto only stares at the male in front of him, completely silent.
Score sheets are then passed out, letting the students know exactly what they were being scored on. Kagome glances through hers as her heart skips a beat. She had gotten extra points for her compassion towards Shippo. The note in her sleeve briefly passes her mind, unsure if she should be afraid or excited that he was reaching out to her. Kagome didn't care to listen to the announcer or anyone around her for that matter, too focused on what the note had to say.
It was finally over and they had their license in hand as they head towards their bus. Kagome smiles softly at hers and pays no mind to what's going on around her. Miko was written for her hero name, short and simple. Finally glancing around, she notices that 'Camie' was nowhere to be seen. A chill runs down her spine at the thought of what could possibly happen. She may not be getting hurt, but who is in her place?
"What do you want from me?"
"Just hoping to settle things for good," a smaller All Might says to a glass window. "All for One." The man behind the glass, bound to a chair with many turrets facing him at a single movement, tries making small talk with the once large Hero.
"I haven't had a decent conversation since I've been in here," he sighs out. "Humor me!"
"Where is Shigaraki?" All Might demands. He didn't care for the pleasantries, wanting to get in and out as soon as he could.
"Dunno," All for One shrugs. "Unlike yours, my chick has left the nest." The conversation takes a turn, both blaming the other for their downfall in a way. From successors to ideals. Why? What was this all for? All Might lets his anger control him as he inches closer to the glass the separates the two enemies.
"I won't die." He promises. "I won't let Shigaraki kill me. I won't let myself be killed!" The bound man laughs deeply.
"It shouldn't just be Shigaraki after you." This line makes the hero stop, confusion finding its way into his rage. "You're morals, this society you 'heroes' have created? You will all regret it! The future is how she makes it!"
"The future in store for this world isn't the one you want!" More laughter from the villain.
"You fool! She right under your noses, the biggest threat to heroes and villains alike!" He shakes his head in near disbelief. "'Settle things for good.' That was your line… Was that really all you came to say?" Someone on the speakers instructs All Might to leave, stating his time for visiting was up.
"The future. Whoever 'she' is, I'll find her and use this 'threat' to smash whatever future you see. As many times as it takes." All Might turns his back to the bound man, taking his leave as told.
"Then you should hurry." The door close before another word could be said, letting All Might be alone with his thoughts for a moment. Confusion takes over. Who exactly was All for One talking about? How was this girl right under his nose? How was she such a threat to both sides yet stayed so well hidden? He had an idea on who it could be, having a few facts memories in case something were to happen, such as this.
Night falls and the class of 1-A takes this time to celebrate those who passed the exam and got their licenses. Soft laughs and conversations were going on around the common room, yet Kagome was nowhere to be seen. Having had a long day with constant dazes and villains, she just wanted to rest. The privacy allows her to view the note that's been plaguing her mind as she takes it out of her pocket. The folded paper gave her mixed feelings, the adrenaline coursing n her veins almost made her dizzy as she starts shaking. Slowly she opens the note, her breath hitching in her throat. This was far from Shippo's own handwriting and the faint ash scent gave her chills as it hints at who it's from.
Burn this after reading and leave no clues of its existence.
Meet me at the old warehouse near that shithole you call a school after everyone goes to sleep.
It was simple enough, but it sent her heart to her stomach. A scribble at the bottom of the note catches her attention, realizing it was Shippo's handwriting.
He won't hurt you but he knows everything. They found a little girl and I think it might be Rin. Kagome please be safe.
