Ch. Fifteen

The bus ride was filled with lots of talking, laughing, and enjoying their time together as they made their way to the USJ. Keomi leaned back against the seat, her simply thinking before she felt someone messing and twirling with her hair. She rose a brow and turned to see a male with purple hair and piercing golden eyes messsing with her hair, the male looking at the other,

"Why hello there, I'm Kousuke. What might your name be?" He asked,

"... Keomi, nice to meet you, Kousuke." She states softly, humming a bit before she froze and somehow couldn't control her own movements.

She was forced to look at the other as he smirked a bit at her,

"My, what a intresting girl you look to be. Not only do you seem to look to be your average student, but you also seem to be the one with a mysterious past that others don't know yet." He states.

Keomi was stuck in that state for quiet a while, though her quirk had activated. Her eyes cat like- seeing as she didn't wear her glasses they can be seen- and she broke free from the males grasp which made his eyes widen a bit in fear,

"Don't boldly assume things about others, and it's none of your business what my life is like to you, I quiet prefer my past hidden." She states and turns back around.

She took a deep breath than smiled a bit, she remembered her pops always saying that the strongest always wore a smile on their face... even during the hardest of times. Keomi felt like an idiot now, she shook her head as she leaned back, how could she have forgotten his words so easily like that? She never forgets things like that... but she guessed in moments of weakness it's easy to frown. She shook her head than smirked a bit, from now on she was going to smile and give everyone that ray of hope that they need. Especially her father,

"Keomi!" She jumped as she heard Ryuu, looking at the male,

"Huh?" She asked as she lost her smile,

"What's the smirk? We haven't seen that kinda smirk in weeks!" He chirped.

Keomi couldn't help but chuckle a bit at this and clenched her fist,

"I reminded myself that I gotta stay smiling, even in times of weakness, I gotta keep smiling! Because hopes what reminds you that everything will be okay in the end! It may not look like it, but it's gonna be okay and I gotta make sure to be that reminder to others to keep their hopes up! Because without hope there's no change! We hope for a better future and that's what we all gotta strive for! Hope always wins!" She beamed and threw her fist into the air with a giant closed eyed smile on her face,

"Even if it means putting through all the pain?" She heard an unfamiliar female ask,

"Yeah, because even if you hope for a better tomorrow, someone has to inspire others to strive for it to be achieved! Like my pops and Deku! They both wanted a better and peaceful tomorrow and that's what they're doing! I wanna be just like them.. because I don't want anyone sad or hurting! Everyone deserves to be happy!" She beamed.

Silence.

Keomi rose a brow as she heard no one than looked around to see everyone staring at her, even the teachers, she quickly shrunk a bit but Rin was the first to speak,

"You sound like you talk from experience. You also sound just like Deku and All Might... so, I guess we better step up our game if any of us wants to compete with you, huh Bug?" He asked and smirked at the female.

Ryuh was quick to nod,

"Yeah! We gotta look out for the people that we want to save and protect in the future!" He beamed.

This was the start of the conversation that made everyone talk about why they wanted to be pro heros, why they want to be the number one pro hero also,

"I wanna be just like Papa!" Ryuu beamed,

"I want to show others they can be heros if they set their mind to it, no matter your bloodline." Reina states,

"I wanna be the best there is and nothing else!" Rin exclaimed with a giant smirk,

"What about you, Keomi?" Osamu asked which made the ones close to her look at her.

Keomi sighed softly as she tried to find a way to hide her past but to also tell the truth, she rested her eyes for a moment before she opened them with a spark of hope in them,

"I want to be someone that everyone can look up to and talk to if there's something wrong... I want others to see that no matter who you are or what your quirk is... you can always hope to achieve a better tomorrow and things can work out that way. Through the trials, through the tribulations, through even the hardest of obstacles... that if you hope for something great, it's bound to happen. Everyone hoped for a Pro hero that would be a symbol... we got them. All Might was it... now it's Deku. I want to be like them but have my own voice... I don't want to be that symbol of peace," She paused before looking up at the others and smiled faintly,

"I want to be a beacon of hope." She finished with a closed eyed smile,

"Gosh, your as cheesy as Deku and All Might." Rin states before he smirked at the glare he received from the female,

"'Ey! It's because they have amazing things to say!" She defended.

Ochaco smiled as she listened to the other students talk, especially when Keomi gave that little speech that made the other students excited for the future. She hummed a bit than turned to Bakugou and Kirishima as they talked,

"What if we have a mishap like last time? We can't afford the students safety if that repeats." Ochaco asked quietly while looking at the males,

Kirishima looked at Ochaco with his bright and usual smile,

"Don't worry, we doupt that will happen again. Thirteen and his kid, Fourteen, have helped make the place more secure and there shouldn't be any breaches!" He exclaimed which Bakugou shushed him and sighed,

"And if they do somehow get in, we'll be ready for them." Bakugou states firmly and crossed his arms,

"When shit hits the fan, we'll be ready for it."
