(Third Person POV)
"I have the results of yesterday's discussion regarding hero internships for freshmen. Starting with the principal, the majority of teachers said give it up." Aizawa started, this caught most of them by surprise.
"Whaaaaaat?! Even after the info session with the seniors?!" Kirishima exclaimed.
"But if we think about it from the sequence of events that led to everyone living in dorms, I guess it would turn out like this..." Kaminari muttered, everyone glancing at Kyoshu and saw her rubbing her arms out of habit, they then turn to Bakugou, who just got out of house arrest, and saw he had a smug look on his face.
"HAH!!" Kyoshu snorted, she just knew he just grasped the flow of the conversation.
"However... there are also those with the option that under our current safeguard policy we won't raise you to be strong heroes. So this will be our policy: "we will only allow freshman to work at offices that have a good track record when taking interns". That is the conclusion we reached." Kyoshu snorted again when she saw Bakugou lose his smirk.
"God dammit!!"
"I wonder if Gunhead's place is okay..." Uraraka muttered.
"Maybe I should call Selkie." Aizawa looked over from where he stood and saw Kyoshu lean back in her chair in thought, she placed a hand on her cheek and let it rest there as she hummed. She wanted to do the internship, maybe she could intern with Eren and his agency again, but she more than afraid to go back after finding out that Reiner and Annie were nothing but traitors. Maybe she could go with Hawks, there's also asking Amajiki of Fatgum would let her intern with them, then there's also Uwabami.
'So many options, my best options would be to go with the now no. 2 hero Hawks or maybe... Eren-san's, but I still haven't forgotten about what they did to me...' she frowned 'Are there anybody else in that agency that are actually traitors?'
"Takeyama." she lifted herself up and saw that it was Aizawa who called her "I don't mean to interrupt your train of thought, but there's somebody waiting for you in the staff room." she raised a brow.
"Really, who?" he raised a hand.
"He's an underground hero like myself, but that's all I can say for now. He's interested in scouting you out for the internships." that perked her interest.
"Oya? Okay." she then stands to her feet "How will I know where he is?" he chuckles.
"He almost sticks out like a sore thumb, but in your case, I don't think you'll even see him." she pursed her lips at that remark before leaving the classroom, getting a few stares from her peers in the process. She hummed in thought on who it could be, or rather, how they would stick out. Aizawa did say she might not see him, so the possibility of this person being short is likely. She pushes open the door to the staff room and was greeted by various teachers, some winched while she smiled softly when Present Mic shot up from where he was sitting and waved his hand with a lot of enthusiasm.
"Hey there, big girl! What brings you here?" he asked as she approached.
"Aizawa-sensei told me that there was somebody here that wanted to talk with me, do you happen to know who it might be, Present Mic-sensei?" she questioned, tilting her head to the side.
"Hmm, did Eraser mention he was an underground hero?" she nods "Then unless I'm really close with him, to which I'm not, then I have no idea who it is. Oh! But I do have a file here of him that was supposed to be given to you!" he happily states as he grabs the file and hands it to her, she and others around give him a look.
"When was I supposed to have this?"
"At the start of these internships!" eh, at least it wasn't that long, she opened the folder and got a look of what the man looked like.
"Huh, he looks like a cleaner version of Aizawa-sensei... and shor--"
"Hey." an unfamiliar voice spoke followed by a tap, she hummed and turned around only to frown when she didn't see anyone, she then heard someone clear their throat while a hand suddenly appeared pointing downwards "Down here." she then looked down and saw the man in the folder.
"Oh, sorry about that. I didn't see you down there." she couldn't help but sweat.
'Omigod, Aizawa-sensei was right, with my height I wasn't able to see him!' she thought, he just sighed as he shook his head and waved his hand.
"It's fine, with that ridiculous height of yours, I don't think you can see things below you." she blinked.
"That's what... Shouto said to me months ago." she muttered before shaking her head "Please forgive my rudeness, Ackerman-san." she apologized, he hummed before patting her head, causing her to blink again at the feeling.
"Don't worry about it, brat. It, unfortunately, happens all the time." she hums as she rises up, lifting her hand up and touching her head "Besides, call me Levi or Captain, or Captain Levi. Not many people address me by Ackerman, but I'll have to get used to it if I'm in Japan." she hummed again, nodding her head.
"Right, Captain Levi-san." he sighed then leaned over so he could face Mic.
"Hey, blondey." some snorted at that, Mic also flinching at that remark while muttering blondey under his breath "Is there a room where I can talk to her alone? It's quite important and confidential that I'd like to keep between us." Mic hummed as he looked at All Might, who nodded his head and pointed down the hallway.
"There is, if you go down that hallway there's a private room, it's the first door to your right." Levi nodded his head.
"Thank you, follow me." Kyoshu nodded as she followed after the ridiculously short man, a few holding in their laughter at their height difference. To be polite, Levi opened the door first and waited for her to walk in, and when she did she took a seat on the chair facing the couch up against the wall "So, to formally introduce myself, my name is Levi Ackerman, and I am apart of Eren Jaeger's Hero Agency." she couldn't help but wince at that.
"Ah..." he felt the atmosphere get awkward so he raised his hands then bowed his head.
"I want to sincerely apologize for what Reiner Braun and Annie Leonhardt had done to you during the time when you were kidnapped, though if it weren't for that, we wouldn't have been able to find a few more traitors in our agency. No offence." she shook her head, raising a hand.
"None taken..."
"Alright, now, I've come to recruit you for the internships, my colleague and I thought you would be perfect for the job." she raised a brow "Now to back track a bit, Jaeger isn't the person who runs the agency, it's a man named Erwin Smith. Jaeger is like our, image. He's like an icon that does the everyday jobs in the spotlight, while others like myself stick to the darkness. We take out the serious villains that do business in the shadows." she hums, nodding as she crosses her arms and legs.
"Right, and you want me to assist you with this job?" he nods.
"We need both you AND Mystery~chan." he shuddered "That's so weird to say out loud for me." she raised her hand.
"Wait, hold up. You need Mystery~chan? What can she do that can possibly help?"
"Mystery~chan is adored by millions for her beauty and is believed to be a woman that OWNS millions of dollars." she laughs, throwing her head back before shooting back up and snapping her fingers.
"Hah! I'm not." he rolled his eyes.
"We're currently on a case where there's a group that is handling an illegal fighting ring." she furrows her brows at that "Our intel tells us that the ring leader is sending out invitations only to those with big cash, there's no doubt, well a little bit of doubt, that if we use you, we can get an invitation and stop these illegal fights." she sighs.
"... what exactly makes these fights illegal? There are many underground battles going on, what makes this one so special?" he leans forward, having his elbows resting on his knees then letting then hang.
"Children are being made to fight." her eyes widened at that "Children with unique or powerful quirks, before being sold off to the person who pays the most money, and who knows what happens after that." he then leans back and crosses his legs "Most children are either picked off the streets or kidnapped, mostly the latter. Those who end up losing are put out again and again until they either win or are killed." she bites her thumbnail.
"..."
"I know that you're hesitant on working with us again after everything, but please think it over." she swallows thickly.
"I... may have an idea to get that invitation." he raised a brow "There's this, woman, who's been very persistent on getting an interview with Mystery~chan, but I always kept declining her requests." he then follows as she spins her finger in a circle "What would happen if Mystery~chan were to leak out something that manages to catch our ring leaders attention?" he smirks at that.
"What a grand idea, brat, a shame I didn't think of that." he then scoffs "Actually, that four eyes actually did, but what makes this reporter so interesting?" she runs a hand through her hair.
"I heard she's a woman who doesn't stop at anything until she gets the juicy news, and I'm afraid I might slip up and she'll figure out who Mystery~chan might actually be." she then runs a hand through her hair "And when I mean persistent, I mean bat shit crazy. However, she works for a very serious and well known company and most of her work does get recognized, so..." he hums, nodding his head.
"... if you say the right things like money and quirk fights while making yourself look like you're swimming in dough, the chances of you getting an invitation will be definite." he smirks "When's your next photoshoot?" she raised a hand and he watched as she slipped her hand into her pocket and pulled out her phone, dialing a number then putting it to her ear.
"..."
"Yeah, hey, it's me."
"..."
"I'm with a colleague and we were wondering when my next photoshoot is."
"..."
"Whenever I'm free?" she looked at him and saw him mouth out a date "Can we set one up for this Saturday around 12:00, 1:00 in the afternoon, if it's possible?"
"..."
"Great, okay." she lowers her phone before thinking and bringing it back up "And if I may add a request, I need an outfit that makes me look like what the public thinks I am. A beautiful, millionaire goddess."
"..."
"You can? Perfect." she then smirks "And it would be unfortunate if a certain reporter caught wind of our schedule, it'd be a disaster." her smirk only grew when she knew that Uwabami knew what she meant "Alright, thank you Uwabami~" she then hung up her phone and gave Levi a look, who in return gave her a look of respect as he clapped his hands.
"That was impressive, brat, very." he then offered his hand "So, you'll be interning with our agency again?" she looked down at his hand before slowly reaching over and shaking it.
"I'll be in your care again, Captain Levi-san." she answered, when she retracted her hand back she bowed her head "So let's take care of the problem." he smiles softly.
"We will." because the school was pretty large, Kyoshu offered to show Levi out so he wouldn't get lost, he had someone lead him to the staff room but it was awkward because he had this intimidating aura to him along with a glare in his eye. People watched them walk together and couldn't help but be frightened by their presence, they had this alarming aura coming out of them that frightened them.
'I-I wonder what they're thinking...!' many had thought, watching as Levi scowled while Kyoshu kept a poker face.
'Hmm, I wonder if I can make a supermove out of something after my spar with Togata-senpai.' she thought.
'I wonder what those idiots are doing back at the agency.' his scowl hardened 'They better not have destroyed anything.' when they reached the entrance of the school, she opened the door for him and held it open.
"Have a pleasant evening, Captain Levi-san. I'll unfortunately see you this Saturday." he smirks at her, waving goodbye as he walked through the U.A gates.
"As to you, brat!" after one last wave, she turned around and let the door close behind her, she then raised a hand up to rub her chin.
"Hmm, I wonder what Uwabami will have me wear..." she muttered before shrugging "Hopefully it isn't something to ridiculous."
(Saturday)
"Is this going to work?" Kyoshu asked, looking in the reflection of the mirror to get a look at Levi Ackerman and his colleagues, Erwin Smith and Hange Zoë, while her makeup artist applied blush to her cheeks, Hange grinned confidently as she slammed the side of her fist into the palm of her hand.
"It'll be fine, so don't worry, Kyoshu! Though," she raises her finger "we got some more intel that in order to get an invitation, we have to get it from the provider, rather than from the ringleader himself." Kyoshu raises a brow, Erwin then approaches.
"The provider is like the pawn, a few positions below the ringleader. He's the man that finances the whole illegal quirk fights, he goes by the name of Jiyoku Yowaru. The police have been suspecting him to be associated with the group, but haven't been able to properly arrest him." she hums.
"Heee..." she then thinks "So, this Jiyoku Yowaru, what should I know about him?" Levi scowls.
"He's a coward and obsessed with money and women, and I hear he's your BIGGEST fan." she shudders "I believe he's been wanting to offer you an invitation for a while but either A. couldn't think of a way to give it to you, or B. the ringleader himself said not to, since you're well associated with high ranked heroes, like Hawks and Jaeger." Kyoshu then smirks softly, leaning back in her seat and shrugging with closed eyes.
"I'm dubbed as Mystery~chan for a reason, my personal life stays a mystery to the public until I feel like revealing it." she then opens one eyes while lifting a finger "But what worries me is if this woman is going to use what I say against me and horrible rumors might arise, saying how I support illegal quirk fighting and that I'm nothing but a thicked headed bimbo out for the money..." she says, now looking worried as she looked at her reflection, she let out an oof when Hawks appeared and placed a hand on her head.
"Don't worry, kid, as long as you say enough, everything will be fine. Hopefully it'll catch the eyes of your no. 1 admirer." she shudders again.
"Please don't say that, it doesn't really calm me down." she then smiles softly when she saw the face of Dark Shadow.
"Well when you get this invitation and go to this party, you can kick his ass when you bust his ass, doll face." she laughs at that, patting Dark Shadow on his head.
"Now that lightens my mood, thank you, Dark Shadow." he grins.
"No problem!" he then returns to Tokoyami.
"However, if this woman gets to close, we will not hesitate to intervene, Takeyama." she smiles at him, placing on hand on her chest.
"Thank you, Tokoyami-san, please take care of me." he and the others nod their heads, he then notices Hange bring her index and middle finger to her ear, she nods a couple times before looking at Kyoshu.
"She's here." Kyoshu grimaces before standing up.
"Ah shit, show time." she cracked her neck and knuckles before walking out of the room, as she said, her whereabouts of her next photoshoot had been leaked out, but she never would have expected the woman to bring a crowd of what seemed to be like her fans in as well. Uwabami had one of her assistants send the woman an anonymous email to where it would be, but she never would have thought she would even bring a group of fans, she balled her hand into a fist.
'Shit, now this is gonna be harder than usual...' she thought, she flinched slightly when she felt a hand on her shoulder, she looked down and saw it was her photographer Tonomi.
"Calm your nerves, Mystery~chan, I get this is a mission as well, but don't let a group of your fans distract you from your work." he lightly hits her shoulder "You've got this." she stares at him before smiling then giggling.
"Ah hah, you're right, Tonomi-san." she waves him goodbye, since he was off to set everything up, then turned her attention to her fans, to which they cheered loudly when they finally got her attention.
"Ah! Omigod!! I can't believe I'm actually meeting the goddess herself! This is a dream come true!!" one started, waving her hands around.
"I know! Thanks to that reporter, we actually get to meet Mystery~chan in person!"
"She's even more gorgeous in person!" she let out a sigh.
'Might as well go deal with them by giving them what they want.' she whistled, getting the attention of her bodyguards, not that she needed them in the first place, before approaching them. She winched a little when they got louder as she got closer, she was glad a group of Uwabami, Hawks and Eren's sidekicks/assistances made a barricade so they wouldn't immediately tackle her to the ground.
"Oh my, Mystery~chan! Please, can I have an autograph?" a fan asked, holding out a poster to her while blushing when Kyoshu's rather hypnotizing eyes bore into hers, she smiled softly at the young girl before taking the pen from her hands.
"But if course, anything for an adoring fan~" she cooed, signing a few posters and shirts that were handed to her, taking selfies with others and even giving hugs to others. Before she could get to the next fan, someone else called her by her stage name, turning around, she couldn't help but grimace internally at who it was, but she never did lose her smile "Oh, your name is Kizuki Chitose-san, correct?" she questioned, tilting her head to the woman with unusual pale blue skin and lilac hair, followed with green eyes and a black sclera.
"So, you know me?" the woman asked, Kyoshu just continued to smile.
"But of course, you work for Shoowaysha Publishing, do you not?" she then places a hand on her chest while the other was placed on her cheek "That's a pretty well-known company, if I do say so myself. What gives me the honor of having you in this establishment?" she asks, she jerks back a bit when the woman shoves a recorder close to her face.
"Why do you, a well-known model, hide your identity? Most heroes, such as Uwabami and Best Jeanist, and other models, don't conceal their names from the public. Why did you? What do you gain from it? Are you perhaps hiding from someone and if you reveal your name, something might happen?" her bodyguards noticed Kizuki was getting to close so they go to stop the interview but Kyoshu raised her hand, stopping them.
"Well..." everyone leans in "I wanted to try something new."
"Something new?" she raises a finger.
"Yes. I wanted to try something similar to the former hero, All Might. He was a hero and yet we knew nothing on him, so I wanted to try something similar." she lied, the main reason she became Mystery~chan was because she didn't want to be berated at school "But yes, the thought of a fan or even worse, a creep, coming to my home, would be terrible. Hiding my true name and identity from the public has saved me the trouble of that, no?" Kizuki pulled a face.
"Well, what do you say about quirks? They're a few people in todays society that dislike the fact that they have quirks. What about you? Do you have a quirk, or are you quirkless?" now this caught their attention, she hummed in thought.
"No, I'm not quirkless. I do indeed have a quirk, but that too, will stay private." she then places a finger on her cheek "Now on the first question. I wouldn't call myself an anti-quirk kind of person, I find quirks unique, especially how people would use their quirks."
"Could you further elaborate that thought?"
"Well, let's have U.A's Sports Festival as an example. That student Midoriya Izuku-san is definitely a prime example, he wields a quirk that heavily injuries his person, and yet he still fought on and made Todoroki Shouto-san use his fire half of his quirk." she then claps her hands "U.A is a school that is filled with unique quirks that peek my interest, and how they used them as their own is even more impressive. The tournament was definitely a show, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it!"
"So you would say you're interested in quirk fights?" Kyoshu smirked internally.
'Here's a question we're after.'
"I wouldn't necessarily say I'm interested, but if the opportunity came to watch a quirk fight again, I wouldn't hesitate to watch it." she sighs softly "This generation of quirks and the children wielding them is truly fascinating." the crowd around couldn't help but awe a little at her words "Is that all you have to ask, Kizuki-san?"
"... so, what if it were illegal minors fighting?" this caught her off guard, even the heroes and a few fans were a little startled at the question.
"W-What...?" Kizuki smirked.
"So, would you still be interested if it were an illegal underground fight? Would you PAY to watch a quirk battle like that?" Kyoshu swallowed thickly at that, a bead of sweat forming on her cheek as she looked at the others, who shrugged at her and rolled their hands, motioning for her to carry on.
"I-I never said--"
"And I'm asking if you would consider it." Kizuki's smirk continued to grow as she watched Kyoshu grow agitated "You are clearly fascinated in quirks, quirks being displayed no less and has even stated you enjoy watching quirk battles. What makes illegal ones any different? I'm asking you whether or not you'd pay to watch one if minors are involved." Kyoshu fumbled over her words, not knowing how she should answer.
"I-I... I don't, uh..." Levi pulled a face, watching as she, out of habit, lifts her hand and starts to rub it. He looked at Erwin and Hange, and they too saw that she was rubbing the makeup away, revealing the newly wrapped bandages, so the makeup wouldn't be applied to her scars. Erwin saw that Levi and Hawks wanted to intervene now, they look at Uwabami and get a nod of approval, she was even going to attempt to step in.
"Alright, that's enough questions!" Levi announced, walking over and grabbing Kyoshu by the side of her arms and pulling her away.
"Hey, wait! I didn't get my answer! The public deserves to know her opinion on the topic!" Kizuki didn't flinch when Levi glared at her.
"I SAID no more questions. Piss off."
"Are you not keen on being interviewed anymore, Mystery~chan? I'm afraid that's too bad. I haven't backed down from a good story ever since my first year in this biz." Tokoyami approached and dragged Kyoshu away while Levi continued to glare and deal with her.
"But I'M afraid you won't be getting that story, like you were hoping. You should be glad you even got a few words from her." he then waved his hand "Security, get these people out of here." they nodded.
"Yes sir." Kizuki tried to fight them as she looked back at Kyoshu's form.
"What are you so afraid of, Mystery~chan?! Are you afraid you might say something that could cost you your fame?! Are you that desperate for your fame that you won't give the public what it wants?!" it took a good ten minutes to drag her out while the fans listened and left without a fuss, Uwabami and Hawks looked up at her and saw that her magenta eyes were fading from shades of grey and red, signifying she was both nervous and angered at the woman's accusations.
"This... t-this is exactly why I didn't want to be interviewed by that woman! I was afraid that if I didn't say the right thing, we might lose our chance...!" Hawks rubbed her back to calm her down.
"There's always next time, kid. If we didn't get it this time, we could always find another way to get an invitation." Uwabami nodded.
"He's right." she noticed that neither of their words were working on the girl so she took a breath "Go sit down, Takeyama, take a breather." she stood there for a few seconds before nodding and walking over to a seat, she interlocked her fingers together then leaned her forehead against them.
'Calm yourself, Kyoshu... you've got the worst temper when you're mad...!' she thought, feeling strands of her hair start to rise up 'You might accidentally lash out on someone, and that's the last thing you need...!' a young man with natural white hair and grey eyes, looking around, he saw a few pro heroes looking a little distressed and a few of Uwabami's assistants were rushing around.
"Um, excuse me." he starts, managing to grab one of her assistants that was walking back "I was wondering if you knew where I could find, um, Mystery~chan?" he couldn't help but blush in embarrassment, he was a fan of the beautiful woman as well, but just saying her stage name was so embarrassing.
"U-Um, she's sitting over there!" she said, pointing to where Kyoshu was in a rushed tone "But I wouldn't go over if I were you. She's very kind, but she's currently not in the right mood. I'm sorry, but I have to, uh, go!" she then rushes off, he looked back over at her and saw a grey and red aura surround her body as a few strands of her hair rose up into the air. He could feel from where he was that she wasn't in a good mood, but in the back of his head he thought, maybe I could calm her down, I was able to with my temperamental brother when he was nervous and mad, so he made his way over to her.
"Uh, excuse me," he watched as an annoyed pair of mixed red and grey eyes met his "I-I can tell you're not in the best mood, but I was hoping for, uh--" she scoffed a little, running her hands through her hair and messing with it to get the strands that were floating to fall.
"You were hoping for an autograph? Me giving a recording of I love you for you to replay? Yeah, I've had a fan ask me for that. It was super odd and it creeped me out." she then slaps her hands onto her face as he sits down beside her "I just hate this. I don't do this for fame, and the way that woman accused me was just..." he watched as she literally exploded, the aura around her acting as if it were a flame "The nerve! I'll have her know, it sickens me thinking that they're people forcing children to fight for entertainment or whatever! I'd rather die than waste my money on that bullshit! I'm getting grey hairs from all the stress!!" he blinks, jumping when she looks at him, blushing ever so lightly when she leans in closely "Do you know what I mean?" he opens his mouth.
"... almost, but no..." he then watches as she looked him up and down, a bright blush erupting onto her face after realizing she just let out an outburst to a total stranger.
"Oh my..." he gasps lightly when she slaps herself "I am SO sorry! I'm so terrible at controlling my emotions, and I completely throw all my bundled up thoughts onto the first person who confronts me, when I can't even do that with the others..." she takes a deep breath and offers him a hand "Um, you clearly know me as Mystery~chan, what's your name?" she saw he was hesitant to grab her hand, thinking he wasn't worthy of touching the hand of a goddess, but swallowed thickly before shaking hers.
"I'm Natsuo, Todoroki Natsuo." she raised a brow.
"Todo... roki?" she muttered out slowly, watching as a rather charming but nervous smile worked its way onto his face "I've met a Todoroki before in one of my photoshoots a little while back. The famous U.A student, Todoroki Shouto. Is he your brother, Todoroki-kun?" his smile brightens at the mention of his brother.
"Oh, oh yes! He's my little brother!" he then slams his fist onto his chest "I'm so proud of my little brother of being able to become a hero! I'm not, but I'm a college student studying for a degree in health and welfare." she hums.
"That's, in my opinion, another form of heroism, my dear, may I ask why?" he laughs nervously, scratching the back of his neck.
"Um, my mum..." she narrowed her eyes at him, thinking back to what Todoroki said to Midoriya during the Sports Festival about what happened to their mother and how Endeavor put her in the hospital after she hurt him "... she's, uh..." she places a hand on his shoulder, shaking her head.
"You don't need to tell me, Todoroki-kun, I can tell that it's a tough subject." the others around let out a sigh of relief, whoever this guy is, had calmed her down from her nerves and the burning rage in her heart.
"Whoever this guy is, props to him. I thought we would've had a hard time calming her down but I guess not." Uwabami said, watching as the two conversed with each other rather happily. This was even a moment where the smile on her face... was genuine "Neh, neh, Mystery~chan." Kyoshu turned her head to the woman and let out an oof when she felt the woman drape her arms around her neck.
"Uwabami, what is it?" Natsuo raised a brow when she pointed a him, flinching back when one of her snakes hissed at him.
"I can tell you're enjoying your time with this boy," she then looks at her wrist, checking the time despite not having a watch on "and we have at least an hour or so to prepare, so why don't you and your friend go out and have fun?" Natsuo's face flushed a bright red.
Him, alone with her?
No way.
There's no WAY this is real.
And there's no way she'll--
"Really? Are you sure?" he fell back, was she really going to spend time alone with him? "I usually spend that time with the makeup artists. You know how much of a perfectionist they are." Uwabami just laughed.
"It'll be fine, I promise." she then pats her shoulders "Everybody deserves a break, don't you think?" she hums.
"I suppose." she then looks back at where Natsuo was "Well how about it, Todoroki-kun? Wanna spend a few hours with... me?" she trailed off when she finally noticed him not sitting where he was before, but was on his back with a bright red face and steam emitting from his head "Oh dear..." she muttered, now fanning his face.
(Time Skip)
"Are you sure you are alright, Todoroki-kun?" Kyoshu asked as she and Natsuo walked down the busy streets of Japan, fanning his face which was completely head. He looked up at her, seeing through the shades of her sunglasses that her eyes were laced with worry "Maybe we should sit down." he shakes his head.
"No, no! I'm completely fine." she gives him a concerned look.
"Are you sure?" he nods.
"Y-Yeah... though I am hungry." she tilts her head to the side, to which he found cute, when she saw him glow and point at a sign "Oh! Here! This is a great place to eat! My brother told me he ate here once with a friend of his." she turned her head in the direction he was pointing and winched "Bakuyama Café!" her smile never left her face but it was wavering.
"O-Oh, yes! I've heard positive reviews from this place!" he noticed her stutter while scratching her cheek.
"... uh, if you don't want to eat here, that's totally fi--" she shakes her head while raises her hands.
"N-No! This place is fine! I absolutely don't mind eating here." she couldn't help but blush a little at the smile he gave her, charming, soft but still nervous.
"I'm glad, um, K!" they resorted to him calling her K instead of Mystery~chan because he was A. embarrassed every time he said her stage name, and B. so no one would look their way whenever he says her name "So, your name starts with a K?" she hums, nodding her head as he opens the door to the café for her.
"Mm, but don't even think about looking up every name that starts with K, because it'll be a nightmare."
"I know." they both laugh at that before taking a seat, lifting up the menus, Kyoshu's eyes scanned the option of foods and couldn't help but feel a little bit of nostalgia. I mean, she was usually the one taking the orders rather than ordering from it. After becoming Mystery~chan and moving into the dorms, she had been forced to quit her job as a waitress in her mother's café. She hummed and leaned back in her chair, she sat their for a couple seconds before leaning forward and reading again, though she let her eyes wander to the side before sweating a bit when she made eye contact with her mother.
...
...
She felt sweat form on her cheek as they both had this little staring contest, she noticed her mother open her mouth to question her and who she was with, but stopped when she saw Kyoshu raise her finger to her lips and motioned her to shush. She narrowed her eyes at her before letting out a sigh and nodding her head, she let out a breath of relief as she watched her mother motion to a waiter to go take their orders.
"Have you figured out what you wanted to eat yet, K?" she hummed.
"Well, I have been eyeing this." he looked over at what she was pointing at and couldn't help but sweat himself, it was spicy, she looked up at her and saw her blush lightly while leaning her cheek into her hand "I'm a fan of spicy food, spicy soda is a personal favorite if I do say so myself. What about you, Todoroki-kun?" he blushed when he saw her tilt her head to the side, it was very cute.
"Please, call me Natsuo, and if I'm being honest, I don't do very well with spicy food. I'm pretty sensitive to heat even." she giggles at that.
"Well, Natsuo-kun, what are you going to eat?" he sputters when she looks at him with half lidded eyes, looking away and having the menu clutched close to his chest.
"I-I--"
"Hi!" they both look over and saw a waiter "Are you folks ready to order?" she hums, sitting up straight.
"I am, my dear." said waiter then took their orders, flirting with Kyoshu here and there, but she obviously ignored these and paid more attention to Natsuo. She giggled silently when her eyes moved over to him and saw that he was violently gripping onto the menu "Oh, and what would you recommend for a drink? What I like isn't really on the menu." he smirks a little.
"Well, I'd personally go for--" he was cut off when Natsuo cut in.
"You should try this, K! I heard their's a hint of cinnamon in it." averting her eyes from the waiter, she looks at where he was pointing and it caught her attention.
"Oh! It does look nice." she points at it "Could I get this as a drink?" he grumbles a little, shooting Natsuo a dirty look, before nodding and writing it down.
"But of course, will that be all?" they both smile at him.
"Yes, and thank you, my dear." he then walks away, Natsuo lets out a relieved sigh before looking at Kyoshu, jumping slightly when he saw Kyoshu giving him an amused look.
"W-What...?" she chuckles.
"You think I didn't notice?" she chuckled, grabbing the empty glass and spinning it around "I saw him flirting with me, a lot of men have when I'm out, and I would've dealt with it in a more... polite way." she laughs lightly "I also saw how you were giving him a look, the look in your eyes just said you were out for blood." he blushes lightly, hiding his face behind his hands.
"Well, he was being a little pushy, don't you think? Weren't you uncomfortable?" she shrugs.
"Like I said, it's happened on multiple occasions and I've dealt with each occasion different." he sweats a bit when he saw her close her hand into a tight fist, the amount of pressure she put into it made her knuckles click "Some being more violent then the last."
"V-Violent...?"
"Men are pretty disgusting," she then hums, giving him a soft smile "but then they're people like you."
"Like me?" he questions, pointing at him, to which she nodded.
"You're a gentleman, and you know how to treat a lady right." she gives him a bright smile "That's what I adore about you, Natsuo-kun~" she giggles again, watching as he falls back in his seat, face bright red and steam coming from his head.
"T-This isn't good for my heart...!" he mumbles, her eyes then moved over to the side and saw a waitress struggling to carry two trays of food on her hands. She looked new, she knew most of the staff but she didn't recognize her face, guess this woman was her replacement after she had to quit. She watched as the poor girl walked pretty slowly but carefully to balance each tray within her hands, unfortunately, said girl hadn't noticed a customer push their chair back and this caused her to fall.
'Oh shit, oh no!' she thought as she stumbled forward, the trays and all the contents flying off as well. Thinking she was going to fall flat on her face, she braced for impact, but only let out an oof when she felt an arm catch her from falling. Looking up, she saw Kyoshu (not that she recognized her), and her eyes widened in awe as she was swiftly set her back up onto her feet. Kyoshu then caught both trays with both her hands then caught everything that had flown off, she blew a piece of hair that fell and her eyes landed on the girl, who blushed in embarrassment and awe.
"Are you alright, my dear?" she nodded her head.
"Y-Yes, t-thank you!" Kyoshu just smiled.
"No problem, allow me to assist you. I saw you struggling, so I thought of helping you." she said "I'm guessing you're new to this?" she nodded, taking one tray from Kyoshu then walking to where the food was supposed to be delivered. Some people actually had the same look of admiration of their face after what they just witnessed, it was like something out of a movie!
"Y-Yeah... it's my first day on the job, and yet I'm having a customer help me..." she murmured, Kyoshu merely laughed and waved her hand as she set the food down to the people who ordered it.
"Don't worry about it, plus, we all have our tumbles. I'm just a little disappointed that no other staff had tried to help you, since it's your first day and all." the duo continued to have a conversation, Kyoshu lifting the girls spirits a little, before moments later her and Natsuo's food had arrived, she waved the girl goodbye before going back over to him.
"That was an amazing thing you just did, K! I've seen heroes fight and all, but what I just said, that was amazing!" she giggled, taking a sip from her beverage in the process.
"Thank you, Natsuo-kun, but I really just wanted to help the poor girl." she looks back over at her and smiles, waving at her, earning a wave and mirrored smile back in the process.
"That's very nice of you, K." she hummed.
"Thank you, Natsuo-kun." they happily ate their meal, commenting every so often about how delicious it was, sometimes even exchanging food. She had to hold back her laughter when she tried to feed him herself, he was so red his face could rival Kirishima's hair, he did the same to her but with a shaking arm "I'm not going to bite, Natsuo-kun."
"I-I know..." she then finally takes a bite from the spoon that was hovering just a few inches away from her face, she hummed in delight.
"This is delicious, Natsuo-kun! You have a good taste in food." he laughs.
"I'd say the same, but I just don't like spicy food." she nods.
"That's reasonable." they stayed there longer than anticipated before finally deciding to leave, Kyoshu left a tip for the poor young waitress and secretly bid her mother goodbye. Kyoshu rolled her eyes at her mother when she was asked if she was on a date with the boy she was with, to which she wasn't... at least that's what she thought "So, what do you want to do now, Natsuo-kun?" he hummed, looking up at the sky in thought.
"Hmm..." she raised a brow after seeing him light up "Ice skating!"
"Ice skating?" he nods.
"Mm! I've done it probably on rare occasions when I was younger." he places a hand on his chest "It's probably one of the fondest memories I have of my childhood..." she hums, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Well then, let's go. Luckily, I know a place." she watched as he literally started to glow when they were in the shaking rink, however he almost immediately lost his grin when realization dawned onto him.
"It's been so long I don't remember how to skate..." he mutters, staring at the ice while clutching onto the railings as tight as possible "I don't suppose you know how to skate, huh, K?"
"..."
"K..." he slowly trailed off when he looked up, watching as Kyoshu gracefully skated across the ice with little to no effort, his jaw dropped when he witnessed her preform a triple axel and land perfectly on one foot. She knows how to perform backflips, handstands, cartwheels and other flips rather easily, bringing those skills to the ice was no problem to her, she's got Todoroki to thank for that. Whenever they sparred in the past, he would often freeze the ground, having to skate instead of run would be her only option of movement.
"I, in fact, do know how to skate." she said, skating back over to him then coming to a halt, she then offers him a hand "I don't mind helping you, you look like you need it." he laughed nervously, reaching out to her with a shaky arm.
"Please..." he mumbled out, his hand slipped into hers and with a gentle tug, he slid across the ice and into her. She didn't realize how hard she tugged that managed for her to stumble forward a little, she hunched down a little and this caused them both to collide, both their hands grasped together as they were cheek on cheek. She looked down at him and blushed lightly, regaining her composure she stood up straight but still had a tight grip on his hand, she looked down at him and saw he was looking away with a bright red face.
"You get flustered easily, Natsuo-kun..." she muttered as the two of them skated together.
"It's not my fault, you're just so beautiful and your eyes are very captivating..." her eyes widened at that, now sharing a similar blush on her cheeks, she giggled softly and scratched her cheek.
"Many people have said those words to me, but... thank you." he rubs the back of his neck.
"N-No... no problem." she hums, tightening her grip on his hand. Together they skated across the ice, Natsuo being very hesitant to let go of her hand in fear her might fall, but she assured him that if he did fall, she'd surely catch him. Many people who were around couldn't help but gush at the two of them, many thought that they were a couple, this painted a pink blush on both their cheeks.
"Ah! Look at those two, they're so cute together."
"Youth these days! Makes me jealous!"
"Talk about a match made in heaven." Kyoshu just continued to laugh but blinked when she felt Natsuo slip out of her hold and started skating away and on his own, she watched as he was lost in his own thoughts before skating after him.
"Natsuo-kun?" she questioned.
'What... what am I doing?' he thought, clenching his hand into a fist 'I've already got a girlfriend, and yet here I am... falling in love with a beautiful girl that I just met. She's so different from every other girl I just can't explain it. She's selfless and kind and cares about others rather than her own self.' he then smiles softly, remembering the soft smiles she gave him throughout the day 'I'm almost jealous over the guy who's going to capture her heart...'
"Yeah, watch out!" someone shouts, accidentally shoving into his back and making him tumble forward. Because of the ice, and because he's an amateur, he couldn't regain his balance and started to fall. He braced for impact but let out an oof when he felt an arm wrap around his waist and hoist him back up, looking up, he saw Kyoshu. She let out a shriek when she couldn't regain her own balance and started to slip as well, they spun around the ice a couple times before she wrapped her other arm around his head. Finally, she fell onto the ice and landed on her back, she let out a sigh as she slid on the ice before coming to a halt.
"Woof, that was something..." she murmured, looking down and saw Natsuo's face in between her breasts "I told you I'd catch you but, are you alright?" he just nodded, to embarrassed to look her in the eyes.
"Y-Yeah..." a crowd of people then approached them.
"Whoa, are you two alright? That was a mighty fall you had, lady." a man said, grabbing her hand and hoisting her up, a different group helped Natsuo up.
"I'm fine, my good sir, barely itched."
"If you say so..." he trailed off when he looked down at the ice, his eyes widening when he saw a large crack where she had landed.
'She left that crack, and she responded that it barely itched...' he began to sweat when she flashed him a smile 'What the hell is this woman?!'
(Time Skip)
"Ah! That was very fun, don't you agree, Natsuo-kun?" Kyoshu asked, turning back over to him but tilted her head to the side when saw him lagging behind. They just left the ice skating rink after that little incident and were now making their way back to the studio, they were a few blocks away from the studio when Kyoshu finally noticed Natsuo not by her side anymore "Natsuo-kun, are you alright?" she questioned, approaching him then taking his hand into hers.
"I'm..." his hand slipped out of hers as he looked up at her with a smile, she flinched a little when she saw it wasn't his charming one nor his nervous one... it looked a little, forced "Just fine, maybe tired but, you shouldn't be worried..." she watched as he started walking ahead, her arm stretched out towards him before it dropped to her side.
"Did I..." she then nervously brought her arm up, starting to rub her left arm "Did I do something?" this caused him to halt, he turned around and his eyes widened when he saw the look of concern and guilt in her eyes through her sunglasses "Did I make you feel uncomfortable? Was it the teasing? I-I'm sorry if I was... I didn't mean to make you feel nervous..." he watched as she started to have a little break down, he approached her and grabbed her by the arms, she looked down at him and saw her gave her a reassuring look.
"It's not that, K... the way you wanted to throw yourself to keep me from hurting myself, reminded me of how my brother always did that..." she tilts her head to the side.
"Shouto-kun?" he shakes his head, tightening his grip on her arms as he looked down.
"No, my older brother... Touya." her eyes widened, more sweat building up all over her body.
Dabi?
He was comparing her to that man?
I mean, sure. He had his moments. He did help her during her time when she was being held captive.
But he also mentally and physically scarred her to the point she couldn't even look Shouto in his eyes for more than a few minutes.
"He was my older brother, and he was what made me and my other siblings feel safe in our house of horrors..." he then looks up at her, tears threatening to fall "I cherished every moment I had with him when I couldn't be with my mother. He protected us from our terrible father, suffering the punishments that came his way instead of ours...!" he then tightens his grip on her arms "Why do you remind me so much of him to the point I feel so vulnerable...?!" she swallowed thickly as she inhaled deeply.
"... I guess it must mean that you feel safe in my presence..." he looks up at her and blinks when he felt her place her hand on his head, she then smiled so lovingly at him as she pushed her sunglasses up so she could reveal her eyes to him "And I could say that in return for that, your presence makes me feel relaxed. I haven't felt so relaxed in a long time, and I must thank you for that." she then lifts her hand up and caresses his cheek.
"Heh... you even have a loving touch that reminds me of my mother..." she boops his nose.
"I'll take that as a compliment, my dear." she then gives him a smile, to which a mirrored smile itched onto his face.
"Yo, yo, yo!" turning her head at the sound of the call, her smiled brightened at the sight of the two men, who wore causal attire rather than their usual getup "How's my favorite beautiful listener?"
"Present Mic, oh, and Eraserhead! What an honor to meet you both together." she says, bowing her head "And I'm fine, I've just spent a wonderful evening with this gentleman." Mic turned his attention Natsuo and saw her looked nervous under the eyes of two pro heroes.
"O-Oh, hello! It's a pleasure to, uh, meet you?" Mic just grinned at him.
"Right back at you, bucko!" he then grins up at Kyoshu, not that he knew that was her "Hey, I remember you're a fan of Eraserhead, so..." he then gestured to him, Kyoshu smiled brightly at the man.
"Oh, yes! It's so lovely to meet you, Eraserhead! I'm quite a fan of yours, despite you being an underground hero and all." he just scoffed at her, avoiding her rather captivating eyes that reminded him of Mic's.
"I don't care." he snapped back "I don't care about the opinion of a model like you. It's not important to me." Mic freaked out over his harsh remark.
"W-Whoa, Shouta!" he looks at her and gives her an apologetic look "I'm sorry about his behavior, he's not usually this harsh! I guess he's in a sour mood because he didn't get to see Takeyama..." he muttered, but she was able to hear this and blushed at his words.
"Oh, that's quite alright, but may I ask the reason behind your remark?" he sighs.
"Alright, fine." he then glares at her "You're just one of those pretty faces that'll probably cry when you break your nail. You're beautiful, I admit, but you seem like the type of person that cares about whether your hair is done up nicely." he sneers, he was a little surprised when he didn't seem to get a reaction out of her, she simply smiled before looking at her rather long nails.
"Well, I must admit that a broken nail is a pain in the ass," she gives him a confident smile "beauty is everything, but I'm a person that admires strength. You're a strong person, Eraserhead, mentally and physically. During your time from the USJ, and even the criticism you got from the media." she places a hand on his shoulder "That's what I admire about you, and why I'm one of your biggest fans." he couldn't help but feel slightly flustered at her words, either that or she was leaning quite close to his face.
"W-Well," he starts, clearing his throat and leaning away "that still doesn't change my opinion on the fact that you can't throw a punch." she raises a brow at that, a smirk now evident on her face.
"You wanna bet?" his own confident smirk crawled onto his face.
"I'm not one for backing down, so sure, pretty girl." Natsuo and Mic share a look before they each place a hand on their chests, Mic on Aizawa's while Natsuo's was on Kyoshu's, and pulled them away.
"Okay, that's enough, K." she smiled down at Natsuo, pushing her sunglasses back into place.
"Alright, Natsuo-kun." she then looks at the time "Oh, it's seems like we should head back now, Natsuo-kun. We've been out longer than we intended to be." he nods at that, they go to bid the two pro heroes goodbye but stopped when Mic raised his hand.
"Wait, wait!" they do and continued to look at Mic, waiting to see what he wants with them "Before you go," he raises his phone "could we get picture? Our friend, Midnight, completely adores you and would like a photo with you... and I also want a selfie just to piss her off." she laughs wholeheartedly.
"Sure, I don't mind."
"Great!" they both pose but then notice the two stray away, Mic laughed and grabbed Aizawa by the back of his shirt while Kyoshu grabbed Natsuo's arm "Oh no, Eraser! You're not getting away!"
"Come on, Natsuo-kun, join us!" it took a bit of convincing for the duo to agree to the photo but they managed to get them to agree. Kyoshu wrapped her arm around Natsuo and pressed her cheek against his, causing him to blush and weakly gesture the peace sign. Mic pressed his cheek on her other one and pulled Aizawa in, making the man stumble into his chest.
"Oi, Mic!"
"Alright, smile!" Aizawa scoffed at his antics before pulling off one of his signature smiles, the two stood together as they look over at Mic and saw him hunched over looking at the photo "..." she tilts her head to the side, she looks at Aizawa while pointing at Mic.
"Is he alright...?" he just rolls his wrist.
"He's fine." Kyoshu covers her mouth to hold back her laughter when she saw Mic whip his head to their direction as tears ran down his face, he then showed the photo to them and pointed at Aizawa.
"Why'd you make that face, Eraser?! Why can't you smile like a normal person?!" Kyoshu just giggled, taking the phone from Mic's grip and taking a look at it, even leaning down so Natsuo could get a look at it.
"I think his smile is fine, Present Mic." she smiles happily at them "Seeing his goofy grin puts a smile on my face." all three men blush at her.
"R-Right..." she then looks down at the photo again and blinks in confusion when she saw a rather suspicious looking figure behind her, she looks around but of course didn't see him anywhere, but she did notice an envelope happened to slip into her bag.
'That... wasn't there before.' she goes to reach for it but was startled by a shout.
"AHH!! Come back here, sweetie!!" they all snap their heads over to the shout and saw a truck coming speeding down a steep road and it was heading straight towards a child, who was struck with fear and unable to move.
"Mic! I'll deal with--" he was cut off by Natsuo, who let out an oof when he felt Kyoshu throw her bag into his arms, to which he barely caught before it could fall to the ground. They watch as she shot over to the little girl with great speed, wrapping her arm around her and pulling her into her chest in a protective manor, her other arm was extended out and stopping the truck before it could hit and potentially kill the little girl. Their eyes widened when they saw the damage her arm did to the truck, but were even more baffled when they saw her stand back up and not even react to the fact she stopped a truck, the speed it was coming down the steep road could've broken her arm, and yet it looked like her arm was perfectly fine. The little girl was shaking in fear as she was in Kyoshu's arms, she looked up at her and saw her glaring forward.
"Sir, I hope you have an explanation as to why you were going at the speed you were just going. You almost took the life of a child." she growled and watched as the man, who probably owns the truck, run up to them and start bowing his head.
"I am so sorry! I've been meaning to repair the breaks of my truck! I thought it'd be fine until a group of youngsters collided into it and sent the truck speeding down." a reassuring smile graced her lips.
"So it was an accident, huh?" she then bows "Then I apologize for totalling the front of your truck." he shakes his head.
"No, no! It was absolutely necessary if it meant saving this young lass! At least I have insurance." she waves him goodbye before she handed the girl back to her mother, she noticed the girl was frowning so she knelt down.
"Neh, neh, little girl~" she cooed, she looked over and saw Kyoshu pushing the corner of her lips up into a smile "Come on, my dear, just smile, and you'll know everything will be alright!" the girl giggled, to which Kyoshu smiled at pats her head "There you go! That's something my mother would always say to me." the little child's mother then started to cry as she pats her daughter's head.
"Thank you so much for saving my daughter!" she bows "I'll never forget this!" Kyoshu laughed, waving her hands.
"No, no! It's just what a he--" she quickly covered her mouth, looking down at herself and remembering she was still Mystery~chan. She was fortunate enough that no one has recognized her yet "I-I mean, I couldn't have just watched! I knew I could do something, and I sprung into action!" the mother nodded again.
"Yes, thank you so much." both the mother and child bow their heads again before walking off, Kyoshu watched them disappear before she nodded and turned around, jumping back when she saw Aizawa, Mic and Natsuo looking up at her with widened eyes.
"What was that?!" she chuckled, taking her bag from Natsuo then looking at her nails.
"Not just a pretty face now, neh, Eraserhead?" she teases, looking at him then started to giggle when he looked away "I model for a hero, I was bound to pick up on something. Besides, I've got a strength based quirk, check out these muscles!" she cheers, pulling back her sleeves and flexing her muscles, Mic clapped his hands.
"Whoa! That's so impressive!" Natsuo nodded, reaching over and actually feeling her biceps.
"Whoa! I'm pretty muscular myself, but you're pretty ripped." she grinned.
"I know."
"Oi, Mystery~chan!" with pursed lips, she turned her head and saw Hawks flying down to her, to which the three men were currently feeling her muscles "What the hell is happening?" she grins at him.
"They're feeling my muscles." she then scoffs at him "Not that you know anything about that." a tick mark appeared on his forehead as his feathers flared up in anger.
"Oi!" she laughs, he sighs and messes with his hair "Anyway, I'm here to bring you back to the studio. You were out longer than we expected, and since I'm the one with the best mobility type quirk, I'm here to come fetch you." she smiles at him, walking over and patting his head.
"Thank you, Hawkie-chan, I'll be just but a moment." he gives her a look as she turned around, muttering 'Hawkie-chan' under his breath. Natsuo blinked when he felt her pushing his face towards her but his face flushed red when he felt her press her lips against his cheek, looking up at her, she had a faint blush in her cheeks as she smiled down at him "I must thank you, Natsuo-kun. I thoroughly enjoyed myself today, and I wouldn't mind hanging out with you again. If I'm in, come by the studio and I'll hang with you again." he stared at her with an expression one would describe as a fish out of water.
"Um, um, uh-- y-yeah! Totally! Awesome! Yeah, I'll do that!" she smiles then turns his attention to the pros, patting their heads.
"It was lovely while it lasted, by it truly with an honor to meet you both, Eraserhead and Present Mic." she bows and Mic grins, Aizawa rolled his eyes by waved his hand goodbye.
"Yeah, whatever."
"Stop being so sour, Eraser!" he waves at Kyoshu "Bye, bye, Mystery~chan! I hope we see each other again!" she waves them goodbye before walking over to Hawks, they both wrap their arms around each other before he flew off, he lets out a grunt as he tightens his grip around her.
"Jesus CHRIST Takeyama! You're fucking heavy!" she glares at him.
"Hey! You don't tell a woman they're heavy, that alone means you're asking for a beat down!" he rolls his eyes and adjusts his hold on her by throwing her over his shoulder, she was currently leaning her elbows on his back and was rummaging through her bag, remembering about the envelope and pulling it out. She saw that it was sealed shut by wax and there was a seal on it, she looked at it in curiosity before flipping it open and pulling out the letter and reading through it.
...
...
"... HOLY SHIT!!!" she screams, startling Hawks into almost dropping her.
"Whoa!!" he looks back at her in surprise "What! What's the matter?!" she then shows him the letter.
"It's an invitation! It's from them!" his eyes widened.
"Whoa, seriously?!" she nods her head.
"Yeah!" she holds her fist to him, to which he bumps it "Let's head back and show the others this!" he nods his head.
"Now we're one step closer!" she nods her head and wraps her arms around him once more.

when I first saw her in the manga I was like, heh, she looks interesting. Then I saw her quirk and I was like, heh, her quirk is so similar to how kyoshu's one is. The I saw the colored art (before the official one came out) and I was like, HEH, THIS IS ALMOST EXACTLY HOW I IMAGINED KYOSHU TO LOOK LIKE!!!
