Kiba was enjoying a tea party outside with Shiruku and Kano, and naturally Hinata by her side.

"How are you feeling Kiba, I never saw the tapes, but I could only imagine the amount of pain that brute put you through," Kano asked as she sipped her blood in her teacup.

"It was but a flesh wound, I'm fine now." Kiba fibbed. In truth, she still recalled the pain quite vividly, to the point where she could feel phantom pains at points. Even now just talking about it made her have to force her smile to stay on her face. "Anyway, I-"

"Yo."

And immediately Kiba's smile faded, as they looked to see Yoshina approaching her.

"Oh, what do YOU want?" Kiba nearly hissed.

Yoshina dug her hands in her pockets and looked away, taking a deep breath as she got ready to enter new territory. "I'm…I'm…I'm sorry."

That caused everyone to look at her surprise, Kiba most of all.

"D-Did I hear that right? You're sorry?" Kiba asked in disbelief.

"Don't make a big deal out of it," Yoshina growled. "It's just…I'm sorry for going too far in our fight…and I'm sorry for calling you all freaks and monsters."

"I don't recall you doing that." Kiba pointed out.

"I did it in my head. So I'm sorry. Now I know what a real fucking freak looks like. The damn Psycho Psychic." Yoshina said, steaming at just mentioning THAT girl.

"Psycho Psychic?" Kiba questioned.

"I believe she's referring to Yonda, my Lady," Hinata explained.

"Ah, that makes sense. What did she do now? Kidnapping, blackmail? Or did she trick someone into beating you half to death?" Kiba asked as she recalled tales of Yonda's… mischief.

"I don't wanna fucking talk about it." Yoshina hissed, as she started taking deep breaths to calm herself down and keep herself from literally exploding again. "Look, there's my apology, take it or leave it. Oh, and I apologized to Izuku too. Guess it was a pretty shitty mood to bite the hand that feeds ya."

"Well, in that case, your apology is accepted," Kiba said.

"Are you sure about that my lady? Hinata asked her, scowling at Yoshina. "What she did to you in battle was, in my humble opinion, unforgivable."

"It was an accident, and she apologized for it. Given my history, it would be hypocritical to deny her forgiveness in this case." Kiba told her. "And so, I give you an official pardon on behalf of the kingdom of eternal darkness."

Yoshina couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Yeah, thanks. Anyway, see ya."

As Yoshina walked away, the girls continued their tea time.

"Well, that was a pleasant surprise," Kiba said.

"Although it makes me wonder what Yonda did to that poor girl to inspire such a change of heart," Shiruku asked.

"I don't want to think about it, I'll leave that responsibility to the Caretaker." Kiba sighed. "Although I wonder if that girl causes more or less problems for him at times."

"She truly is the darkness in the shape of a friend," Kano said.

Darn it! That was a good line! I need to use that later. Kiba said, making a mental note of that.

Shuku had quickly found himself upsetting the gamers.

That being, Yami, Fuku, Netsu, Ken, Nise, Inu, Tenko, Le, and Yuna. Yes Yuna, as in the bear. Who was currently playing against Shuku on Fuku's behalf?

What the hell is going on!? Shuku thought as he played against the bear, in Tekken 15.

His surprise cost him, and Yuna hit him with a low, that led into a combo, taking the last of Shuku's health.

"K.O.!" The announcer said.

"Rahhhhhh!" Yuna cheered in celebration.

Shuku pouted. "I only lost that one because I was distracted, this time I'll win!"

"Excuse excuses." Ken mocked as the second round started.

"Fuku how did you teach the bear to play fighting games again?" Tenko asked.

"She just kinda learned by example," Fuku said, over the phone.

"Are we sure the bear doesn't have a quirk?" Le asked, still not believing what he was seeing.

"K.O.!" The announcer said, as this time Shuku won. Although not easily.

"Hmph." Yuna huffed, as she got herself ready for the next round.

As the final round started up, the final member of the gaming crew(Aside from Yonda who was grounded) arrived and Amai walked in. "Oh hey, there's another new guy!"

"Hey, Amai." Ken greeted me. "Yeah, this is Shuku. He just showed up. He makes things explode."

"Yeah that sounds about right," Amai said. "Mind if I play the winner?"

Ken grinned. "Sure, that sounds like a great idea. Trial by fire."

"Um? Are you sure that's a good idea?" Inu asked nervously.

"Shssh, this is gonna be so funny." Ken snickered.

"K.O.!" The announcer said. "Player 1 wins!"

"Yes!" Shuku did a fist bump

"Rahhhh." Yuna cried sadly at her loss.

"Don't be sad Yuna," Tenko said as he petted the bear. "You only lost because your control wasn't made for bears."

"Oh my gosh, how did I not think of that! A controller for bears! I need to get on that right now!" Fuku said.

"Alright, my turn. Controller please." Amai said, gently asking for the control from Yuna. Who kindly gave it to her, and got head pats in return. "Good girl. Now."

With a swift transformation sequence, Amai entered gamer mode. "Let's go!"

Why do I have a bad feeling about this? Shuku thought as the two started selecting their characters.

After picking the characters, the two started fighting.

And like many before him, he got absolutely destroyed. Just decimated. Literally did not land a signal hit.

"K.O.! Player 2 wins!" The announcer said as Amai finished the first and second round in less than a minute.

"Huh?" Was all Shuku could say, his jaw hanging low as the shock of his decimation set in.

"Sigh. Yet another scrub trying to step on the queen. GG no spect. Get good." Amai taunted.

For a moment there was silence, and then Shuku's head started to spike up, as his astonishment turned to rage.

"Gahhhhh!" Shuku raised his controller up, making it glow red, and just as he was about to throw it at the T.V. Le grabbed it, teleported, and then teleported back.

BOOM!

"Nice job," Yami said, giving Le the thumbs up.

"I want a rematch!" Shuku demanded.

"Try all you want, it's gonna end the same," Amai said cockily. "Give him a new controller."

"We're gonna lose a lot of these today aren't we?" Nise asked.

"Wow!" Hanabi gasped as he, Kei, Yaba, Ji, Inu, and Alice were flying through the sky, with Ochaco. "This is so cool!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Fireworks burst from Hanabi's fingertips, thankfully they were high enough up that they didn't hit the trees and only added to the amazing sight.

Ochcao smiled as she saw the children laughing as they flew through the air. I really love my quirk at times like this.

Later, in the dead of night, Yoshina was in the training room, lifting weights.

She had bags around her eyes, and she was clearly tired and struggling to keep lifting. But she continued anyway.

"Too much exercise will make you WEAKER you know."

Yoshina turned and saw Fu standing in the doorway.

"I'm fine, fuck off," Yoshina said.

"Wow, there was a lot less bite in that than there was a few days ago. Yonda really did a number on you." Fu said.

Yoshina stopped what she was doing after hearing Yonda's name, and turned to glare at Fu. "And who the fuck are you again?"

"Fu, I'm the guy who told Izuku that Yonda was up to her shenanigans," Fu explained.

"I wouldn't call torturing me in the woods, shenanigans," Yoshina growled. "But…thanks. I don't wanna know what she would have done to me if Izuku didn't come. Grrrrrrrrr!"

Immediately Yoshina started glowing, and Fu ducked out of the room and closed the door.

BOOM!

Once the explosion died down, Fu came back into the room, and found Yoshina on one knee, panting and struggling for breath.

"Alright, that's enough." Fu used Kyosei's tendrils to pick up Yoshina, to pick her up.

"No, I gotta get stronger. Everyone's so strong. And there are monsters like that Psychic Psycho around. I can't be that weak. I can NEVER be that weak again." Yoshina swore as she struggled to stay awake.

"You don't have to be afraid of Yonda anymore. She's done with you." Fu reassured her. "And you WILL get stronger. Just don't do anything rash. Like, over-train yourself. Or follow someone you don't know into the woods at night."

Yoshina stayed silent, knowing that he was completely correct.

She should have known better than to follow Yonda into those woods. Especially when she was weakened from her fight with Kiba.

Quite literally if she'd heard something about a kid doing what she just did, she would have called them stupid and said they were asking for whatever happened to them after.

But she overestimated herself and underestimated Yonda.

That was not a mistake she would EVER make again.

Yonda had opened her eyes to many things that night. But most importantly she broke through her ego and allowed her to start learning.

Learning how to get smarter, stronger, better. So she would NEVER be in that situation ever again.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Yonda sighed as she laid on her bed.

She honestly didn't feel bad about what she did.

From what she could tell, Yoshina had changed for the better, and although she had way more nightmares, those could be managed.

What she did feel bad about was the things surrounding what she did.

How quickly she started planning. How quickly she resorted to what she did. How much she enjoyed it, up until Izuku reminded her that she shouldn't be enjoying light torture.

But enjoying the suffering of others just kinda seemed to be part of who she was.

A part of her that would never be acceptable. The monster within.

I wish I was a normal girl. Yonda thought out loud.

Yeah me too. Himiko said, taking hold of her hand, revealing much to Yonda's shock that she snuck into her room and laid down next to her.

"EAP!" Yonda yelped as she shot up and looked down at her blonde sister. How did you get in here without me noticing!?

Zero thoughts, head empty! Himiko teased with a giggle. Anywho! Just wanted to talk to ya. Heard you lost the fight with your inner demon.

In a manner of speaking yes. Yonda sighed. I wish my inner demon could be like yours. Just satisfied with stabbing Fu every now and then. No. I have to have some kind of big evil scheme to be satisfied with some big moral lesson at the end. Like an overwritten James Bond villain.

It was at that moment her cat chose to sit on her lap.

Yes, Espurr is very funny. Yonda deadpanned, but she still started petting the cat anyway.

Oh don't be like that, I'm sure we can find a way for you to be you. Even if you're just kinda evil sometimes. Himiko encouraged. Have you tried acting?

Don't do it for me. It has to be real or it just feels empty. Yonda sighed.

So you want to really outsmart and hurt people? While also teaching them a lesson and feeling like you're better than them. Do I have that right? Himiko asked.

Wow, when you put it like that, it makes me sound even worse. Yonda said.

Have you tried Chess Boxing? Himiko suggested.

Chess Boxing? Is that a thing? I don't have access to the internet right now so please don't mess with me. Yonda said.

No, it's real, you play a round of chess, and then a round of boxing, and see which one you can win at first. Himiko explained. I think you'd like it.

Well, when I get ungrounded I HAVE to watch that, but I don't think I'd be allowed to play that, on account of my quirk. Yonda said.

Couldn't you wear those ear things to black your quirk? Himiko asked her.

They might fall out during a fight, or they'd count as headgear, either way, I don't think I could ever be allowed to play that game fairly. Yonda sighed.

Hmm. Maybe you should become a lawyer, I think you'd really like that job. Himiko suggested.

I've given that some thought, but that's something for future me to do. I need something to help me now. Yonda said.

…Welp, I'm out of ideas. But don't lose hope! I'm sure Izuku will find a way to help you. Himiko said. He helped me, and I thought I was a lost cause too!

Yonda sighed. I sure hope you're right Himiko. I hope you're right.

Please review and have a nice day.
