Tales of the Foreigner

Chapter Three

Quick Escape

Hours have passed since the interaction between Heather and Mineta started. Within those hours, she unloaded everything she had held inside her for all these years, including the event that took place hours ago with Bakugo. Her interaction with Hitoshi shook her the most out of it all. Whatever his quirk was, he somehow had complete control over her body. Something almost similar to the man who kidnapped her ten years ago. Mineta just looked and listened to her, primarily due to how cute she looked, but also shocked at her story.

"And that's pretty much it. I've been on the streets of Japan trying to find someone who could speak English to help me get back home. Sadly, that didn't go so well, seeing as they couldn't understand what I was saying or ignored me given how beat up I was looking." She said while adjusting her shirt and shorts. "Geez, I'm starting to regret not taking an extra pair of clothes with me when I ran away from the kidnapper's house."

"I-I don't know. I-I think you look good in those. From what you told me, P-Plus, those clothes at that creeper's house wouldn't fit you." Mineta said, eyeing the oblivious girl up and down while wiping away some drool from his mouth. "A-Anyway, why don't I take you to the Principal's office? He is trying to have the teachers find you to ensure you're okay."

"Was he that weird, blocky-looking guy?" She asked as Mineta shook his head.

"No, that was Cementoss. He's one of the teachers that teach here in U.A... I'm surprised he didn't use his quirk to try and stop you."

"Well, I did jump out a window at the time." She said, which took Mineta by surprise. "Don't worry, I didn't fall to my doom or anything. I pretty much floated to safety thanks to my quirk."

"But I thought your quirk can only freeze stuff like Todoroki's quirk?"

"I don't know who that guy is, but I don't know what I can do with my quirk, nor do I have control over it...which surprised me that I didn't freeze you when I touched."

"Might be because of my hot personality~?" he said, which caused Heather to giggle from the pun. "But in seriousness, we should get you to Principal Nezu. He might be worried that you ran out of the school." Mineta said as she popped his head out of the bush, and he noticed that it was afternoon. "Oh crap, the school's almost over!"

"Really? Oh, raspberries, I'm sorry. I made you miss school because of me," Heather said sadly.

"It's fine. I'm sure Mr. Aizawa will hopefully go easy on me once I explain what happened." He said, looking around the area momentarily before returning to the bush and extending a hand towards the bunny girl. "Let's get going before school ends, and you get stuck out here." Heather looked down at Mineta's hand for a moment before looking up at him as he gave her a warm, trusting smile. She, in return, gives him the same smile as she takes his hand and feels herself pulled up by him.

"Alright, let's go—" Before she could finish her sentence, Heather quickly hugged Mineta before pushing herself deeper into the bush.

"W-Whoa! I didn't know you were that into me—" Mineta felt her hand cover his mouth as she shivered in fear. He soon looked through the bushes to see Bakugo looking around the area. She slowly moved her hand from his mouth as a fearful expression appeared. "What in the world is Bakugo doing here?"

"You tell me….wait, you know that guy that explodes stuff with his hands?"

"Yeah... he's my classmate," Mineta said with an awkward smile, which caused Heather to stare at him in shock.

"And they let someone like him into the school?"

"I'm just as shocked as you are. But what's Bakugo doing here of all places?"

"...He might still be sore after freezing him and giving him the slip."

"SHOW YOURSELF YOU LONG-EARED RODENT! I KNOW YOU'RE HIDING AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE!" Bakugo yelled before blasting a nearby bush to ashes." IF YOU DIDN'T WANT TO BE FOLLOWED, THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE CLEAN THE BLOOD THAT YOU LEFT BEHIND!" he said as Heather looked over at the ground to see what he meant.

"Raspberries. I was so focused on finding a hiding place that I forgot. Bakugo's going to kill me!"

"He's not going to kill you."

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU FOR FREEZING MY ASS RABBIT!" He yelled before making another bush explode with his quirk.

"... Never mind, he's way beyond the point of trying to reason," Mineta said before feeling Heather holding him tightly while shaking in fear. "H-Hey, don't worry. I got a plan."

"If it's to outrun him, then I can tell you that won't work. He can pretty much close the distance real quickly."

"No, but thanks for the heads-up, " he said before pulling himself out of her grip. I'll set up a trap, and I hope it'll work." Mineta began to pull off a few of the purple balls from his head and place them around the area they were in.

"You take off pieces of your hair?"

"My quirk is called pop off. I can take the orbs that are on my head and use them as a means to stick to anything. I plan to use his rage towards you to make him charge over here where we are. That's where you come in. You'll jump us out of the wait and into that open window above us." He said as Heather looked up to see the open window.

"Oh, right. Because I am light as a feather and your size, I can carry you up, and we'll be able to escape." She said before noticing Bakugo exploding another bush as he was getting closer to him." Alright, operation Honey Bunny is a go!"

"Honey...Bunny?"

"Well, yeah. Honey is sticky, and I'm a bunny that can float and jump in the air, so I just thought it was a cool and cute name." Heather pouted, which caused Mineta to blush upon seeing her adorable pouty expression.

"Oh, no. I'm not against a name like that. I'm just a bit surprised that you would name something that would make sense when you explain it like that." He said before finishing up and moving close to her. "Um...I hate to ask this, but would you mind carrying me?"

"Oh, sure!" She said before picking him up and placing him inside her giant cotton ball of a tail as she pulled herself up from the bushes. Bakugo hears this as he turns to his right to see Heather glaring at him. A devilish grin appeared on him as he raised his hands and let off small explosions.

"There you are, rodent. I still got some payback to give you after what you did to me this morning."

"God...give me strength." She said mentally before taking a deep breath. "Bakugo! You're a ducking coward! You want to fight me! T-Then comes at me; scrub lord, I'm ripped!" Heather puffed out her chest in moderate confidence as Mineta couldn't help but laugh at how funny she was trying to be brave and tough.

"What did you call me!?" Bakugo said as he stepped forward, causing Heather to step back.

"I-I said you're a coward! And a loser who lost to me the first time. S-So, come at me, ducking loser. B-Because I'll freeze your butt like a hot fudge sundae on a hot sunny summer day!" She yelled, which caused Bakugo to glare daggers at her before charging at her.

"I'll make you eat those words, you stupid rabbit!" Just as he was about to tackle her toward the ground, Heather kneeled towards the ground and lunged herself into the air. Upon doing that, Bakugo crashed face-first into the bush she was hiding behind as Heather landed on the open window ledge that Mineta mentioned. The moment Bakugo tried to pull himself up, he felt stuck to the ground. "What the hell!? What did you do to me, rabbit!?"

"S-Sorry, but you're a scary person, and I prefer not to fight you again," Heather said before pulling herself through the window and quickly closing it just in time when Bakugo set off a large explosion to pry himself off from Mineta's balls. Heather looked out through the closed window to see Bakugo covered in Mineta's balls while yelling and screaming stuff that she couldn't hear due to closing the window behind them. The bunny girl let out a sigh of relief as she reached into her tail to pull Mineta out.

"I can't believe that worked! You are a genius, Mineta!" Heather said before pulling him into a hug and placing the young boy's face between her breasts. Mineta's face burns bright red upon feeling this, and he grins.

"Best day ever!" He said mentally before trying to regain his composure. He looked up at her with a confident expression on his face. "Well, I don't want to toot my own horn. But this wouldn't be the first time I had to think of a plan or a means to escape. After all, I did save two of my classmates with my quirk during the USJ villain attack~"

"Wow, you must be brilliant if you could do that."

"I wouldn't say I'm that smart, but I try to do my best. Now, let's get you to the Principal's office before Bakugo comes after you." He said as Heather released her hold on him and motioned her to follow him towards Nezu's office. He soon stopped as an idea just appeared in his head. "Say...you wouldn't mind if I carried you there...would you?"

"Huh? Why? I can walk on my own two feet."

"Well, it's mainly just in case someone might try to hurt you like Bakugo or that guy with purple hair that you mentioned did. They'll back off if they see that I capture you without so much of a hassle. Simple, no?" He lied as Heather's eyes widened in understanding what he meant.

"Oh...that would make sense. Are you sure you're not secretly a genius?" Heather asked as Mineta chuckled before picking her up off her feet. She felt herself being carried bridal style in Mineta's arms.

"...I still need to get used to how light you are...not that I'm saying you're fat! Just surprised with how light you are."

"Yeah, you're not the only one...Think this principal person might be able to figure out my quirk?"

"We might have to go to Recovery Girl for that. For now, enjoy the ride, " he said before returning to making his way toward Nezu's office. He mentally grinned and cheered at the success of his plan to hold a girl in his arms. Yep, best day ever!"
