"This collar itches." Izuku tried straining the collar to allow breathing room around his neck. It was one thing to wear a collar that officially made him Yui's pet. He excused that previous title. This collar made him Yui's bitch. Izuku, Shouto, Tenya, Toru, and Tsuyu were in the bathroom at the arcade. Thanks to the quick thinking of the frog girl, she used her tongue to trigger the water sprinkler, spraying water all over the students. Shouto and Tenya used their quick thinking to pull Izuku whereas Toru and Eijiro served as the distraction.

Speaking of Eijiro.

"Eijiro says that you owe him big, Izuku." Tenya sat on the sink as he tried to deactivate Izuku's collar. "A favor-for-getting-a-cap-in-his-ass-by-Hatsume-big!" He yelped when he was electrocuted. "Where in the hell did this girl bought this collar? The CIA?"

"Is there anything he can do to at least make him comfortable? Ribbit!" Tsuyu had connections with their classmate Reiko's cousin who owns the arcade. With a promise of going on a date with him, he allowed him private access to his private restroom. "And you owe me big, Izuku. Ribbit," said Tsuyu as she was taking off her uniform to allow her blouse to dry. "I am talking cash money huge."

"How about a pizza night? My treat," asked Izuku as he tried to adjust the collar before he, too, got zapped. "Jesus H. Christ, that hurts. Did she get in contact with? ISIS?" Izuku felt a little relief after Tenya adjusted the collar. He backed away from the advice as he sucked on his finger from the shock.

"I manage to get you a bit comfortable," said Tenya as he wiped the sweat from his forehead. "This is beyond me. Even with the tools, I am not that smart to deactivate that device." He turned to Shouto. "Any thoughts?"

Shouto was sitting on the toilet as he was pondering on any ideas. Which was none at all? He felt that the salt-and-peppered television static had more activity than in his brain. "What in the hell did you do to get Yui like that," he said under his breath. "Yet again, it's not his fault. My poor, lovable oaf of a friend."

As if a lightbulb went above his head, he glared toward Toru. Toru was wringing her 'hair' when she noticed his attention.

"Do me a favor, Toru."

"Yes," she said attentively.

"We are going to need you for surveillance," alerted Shouto.

"Whatever I can to help, boss," said Toru.

The response gave Shouto a smile. "We are going to need you with a bit of risque operation."

"Whatever I can protect to help," she said while giving Shouto a salute.

"Thanks," replied Shouto as he took off her gloves. She 'gave' him a look. "What are you doing," she retorted.

"You have the advantage that we don't," said Shouto. "We are going to need you to keep an eye at the entrance." He pointed at the door. "I remember on our way in, there was a ladder. We need you to take off your clothes and go naked for us."

"Aren't you out your rabid-ass mind," she questioned him hysterically.

"Listen! Where there is smoke, there is fire," interjected Shouto. "If this device has this kind of technology, then God knows that she could be looking for us." He pointed at the door. "Go out there and call us. We already know that Katsuki is coming at some point (the smoke) and then Yui will show (the fire)."

"Ohh, okay," she said to Shouto as she was now informed. "You owe me big, Midoriya."

"Love you, too, Hagakure," replied Izuku while giving her the okay sign.

Toru went into the stall and closed the door. She came out a few moments later, handing her clothes to Tsuyu. "Guard these with your life." She looked at Shouto. "If I didn't know any better, I think you wanted to see my goodies," she 'winked' at him.

"Girl, bye," said Shouto. "Unless your name is Momo Yaoyorozu, then I don't want to hear it." He gave the call signal. "Call me when you see either Katsuki or Yui. clear?"

"Crystal," replied Toru as she exited nakedly out of the restroom.

Once the door closed, Shouto turned to Izuku. "We may have a few minutes. Katsuki is like a bee in search of a honeycomb. In the meantime. Tenya, think of a place we can crash for the time being. Tsuyu, call your father to get an Uber for us." He snapped his finger. "Izuku! Explain what happened next after Yui came inside of the bedroom before passing out?"

A few weeks ago...the day after Izuku's visit to Yui's apartment….

Izuku's brain felt congested as if sinuses were filling his brain instead of his nose. Even if he wanted to produce a thought, the cerebrum was empty of ideas. All he wanted to do was to get a drink of water and spend his day in bed. Well, he knew that is not going to happen. Especially when he realized that he wasn't in his bed.

He sat up against the headboard. He saw the television still on. The screensaver of Netflix is presenting upcoming movies on their network. The images of boy bands, riot grrl movements, and anti-establishment posters were on the wall. He didn't recall seeing that in his guest room.

He felt his hand on his chest. It felt cold. He didn't remember sleeping without a shirt last night. Why was he feeling sticky? He didn't recall getting into any mess. He turned to the left where he saw the nightstand. KY Jelly Lubricant? He had the urge to open the covers. He immediately closed it. He was naked. Now, something was up. He didn't recall sleeping without apparel. He didn't recall sleeping in this room.

Then, he heard the smacking of lips. His eyes immediately shifted to the right where he saw a sleeping damsel. Her hair was in a mess, tangled in an array of areas. On that nightstand, he saw a picture that matched the description. It was a picture of him, Yui, Itsuka, and Momo when they were on the recent class trip in Aoyama.

Yui.

The sleeping damsel turned. She had a toothy grin on her face as she nuzzled into the covers. It didn't take a genius as he raised the covers and saw that she was naked.

On the floor, he saw his discarded clothes. Along with panties and shirts that made a trail from the bedroom door. As he further investigated the bedroom, he saw a almost-empty bottle of Wild Turkey at the foot of the bed. Condoms scattered on the floor. As if a wild beast or a tornado came through the bedroom.

What happened last night?

He tried to recollect his thoughts, but his brain wasn't allowing him. Well, judging by the more condoms on the nightstand; hickies on multiple places on his body; the stickiness of lubricant on his dick, he didn't want to make a wild guess?

He knew something was off with the teas.

The only thing he wanted was an aspirin. Carefully, he slid out of bed. He was able to be nimble. He made it to the floor. A rough landing, but no movement from the homefront. His pelvis was sore. He saw a bruise at the left side of his hip. Judging by the discoloration, it was a fingerprint.

He found his clothes and slowly put them on. He checked that bed every other second. He wanted no movements. If she turned over and hit the missing spot, then he was done. He hurried the pace. Successfully, his clothes are on. Or at least the clothes he was given from her.

He left out of Yui's apartment and went downstairs to the main corridor. Looking at his cell phone, it was nearly seven in the morning. The grass was still wet, the birds were chirping, and not many were stirred.

Back to the present….

Tenya got off the phone as he retrieved it to his pocket. He joined the others as they were listening to Izuku's story. Tsuyu was massaging Izuku's tense shoulders as he leaned on her for support on the sink counter. Shouto was staring at Izuku, observing what he had told the others.

"Ms. Jokes is going to let us crash with her for the time being until we get things straightened out," said Tenya. "Then, hopefully, we can find a way to send you back to your father's since he is back working in Japan."

Izuku nodded. "Yeah, with my mother out there in Hokkaido, I can lay low until I explain to them what happened."

Tsuyu began gripping his shoulder blade to relieve his stress. "So, you and Yui had sex? Ribbit!"

"That is what I am going to call it, yes!" Izuku nodded as he took a sip of bottled water.

"Nothing happened before you left," asked Tenya. "I heard bits and pieces."

"Nothing. I grabbed my things and went home." He scratched his chin. "I tried not to think of what happened that night. She was in distress. She just got molested. For all I knew, it was probably a nightmare. Maybe I sleepwalked into her room. I don't know."

Shouto cracked his finger. "I am quite amazed that you didn't report what Yui did to you."

Izuku shrugged his shoulders. "Who were they going to believe? Poor boy over a rich girl? I later smelled alcohol on my breath. I obviously had sex with her. There was even blood on the sheets. Of course, I wasn't going to tell."

"What did you do afterward," questioned Tsuyu.

"I went to have breakfast at the nearby Denny's, grabbed the train, and headed back to my house," said Izuku. He leaned as Tsuyu began brushing his hair with her fingers. "All I wanted to do was to sleep it off and pretend that nothing happened." He produced a self-defecated laugh. "Didn't get the opportunity to do so. Did things get real when I stepped foot into my house."

A few weeks ago...later that day after leaving Yui's apartment….

Izuku made it to the driveway of his home. All the emerald haired child wanted to do was take a shower and then head to bed. He didn't want to think of the events that led to this morning. He was grateful to God that his phone was dead.

Thinking back, he wished that he would have charged it.

Izuku walked into laughter as he set the keys on the counter. As he took off his shoes in exchange of his house shoes, he walked to the source of the noise. He knew that his mother was home. Maybe she had company, he thought?

"My Izuku? My Izuku saved you?"

"Yes, Auntie. Izuku came like an angel in the light and shined as he protected me from that pervert."

"Wow! I am amazed. My Izuku has a hard time getting out of bed. I didn't think that he can be a hero as well."

"Well, he is my hero. My hero indeed."

Izuku's heart skipped a beat as he stepped foot into the living room. His mother was pouring herself another cup of tea. She, then, offered her guest a cup. The brunette humbly accepted her tea as his mother poured her a cup. She raised the glass as she stared at Izuku. From the top until it was no more, her eyes were on him.

"Thank you, Auntie. That was marvelous tea," said the silent beauty. "Were you trained to serve this delicate tea."

The mother was flattered by her compliment. "Color me flattered. No, dear. Just practice from my grandmother."

Yui wiped her face with a napkin. "I commend your grandmother for training you well, Auntie." She gave Izuku a smile.

"Oh," exclaimed his mother. "Icchan, glad you came home. I tried to call you that you had an unexpected guest but your phone was dead."

Yui crossed her legs. "Pardon him, Auntie. He was being a boy. Forgetful!" Next to her was his uniform from yesterday. "Shouto was on his way here and dropped these off for me since I have planned to come by to thank you for rescuing me, Izuku."

Izuku stood stunned. Yui was wearing her best attire. She was wearing an elegant white dress with white gloves. She was wearing the finest of black shoes to compliment her black jewelry.

"Yui was on her way back from tea ceremony classes and wanted to introduce herself to me," said her mother. "I can't believe that you are a hero, Icchan. Mother is proud of you!"

Izuku nodded cautiously. "Charmed! Thank you, mother!"

The sound of his mother's cell phone went off. "Excuse me, dear." She said to Yui. "I have to run by the airport to pick up his father. He is back in town for good." She stood up as she walked toward Izuku to give him a peck on the cheek. "Do me a favor and keep her company until I get back. She is rewarding us with a brunch from her father's company." She patted his shoulder. "Isn't that great? I will be right back."

His mother hurriedly as she ran out to the door. "I wish you can find a girlfriend like that."

The door closed.

"Yeah, Izuku. A wonderful girlfriend indeed."

Later….

Shouto's cell phone rung.

"Of course, when it was getting to the good part," murmured Tenya to himself.

Shouto answered on the second ring. "Talk to me, Toru."

"Smoke is in the mist," whispered Toru. "I repeat. Smoke is in the mist."

Shouto turned to Tsuyu. "How soon on an Uber?"

"Another ten minutes," answered Tsuyu. "Dad is getting a guy on the way, ribbit!"

"Okay! How far is he," asked Shouto.

"Right now, he isn't near the arcade," answered Toru. "With that devilish smirk and the flair in his nostrils, he is sniffing out for the honeycomb."

"We should be good for now. Reiko's cousin is protecting us," said Shouto calmly. "Keep us informed." He hung up the phone. He rubbed the bridge of his nose. "If Katsuki's in the radar, then we know that Yui is getting close."

Tsuyu looked at her cell phone. "Hang tight a bit longer. We will figure this out." He turned to Shouto. "You think Aizawa might assist us with the collar?"

"Here's hoping," answered Tenya. "But we have to figure that out in the next chapter."
