¹ Literally, “hesitation is moji”, but since moji=Japanese writing, I subbed in the Western writing equivalent.

² I don’t know if this is clear, but basically enter running through one side and by the time you exit you’ll be somewhere completely different and far away.

The following chapter is a snippet from Always

Summary: Bakugo loses to the new girl with a quirk like his own.

Yoshiko followed the girls outside the ground beta after they changed into their hero costumes. Yoshiko looked around her in awe. U.A. had so much more to offer compared to Isamu. She felt foolish to let herself fail last year. Not that it mattered anymore. She was here now.

"Hey, Akimitsu, what is that sunglasses thingy for?" Mina asked, walking beside her. Yoshiko snapped out of her awe-struck daze and looked at the pink girl.

"It's to protect my eyes from my explosions and smoke. I like to call it protective glasses...." Yoshiko explained. Her glasses were lifted to her head right now. She put it on when she was using her quirk.

"I like your costume!" Ochaco exclaimed.

"Thanks." Yoshiko smiled at the brunette. "I like all of your costumes too."

"It's nice to have another girl in the class," Yaoyorozu said. The girls hummed in agreement. Yoshiko looked at her costume. This girl was bold. There was no way Yoshiko could walk around with her boobs almost spilling out. But considering Momo's quirk, it had to be that way.

"That's ground Beta," Mina said as they stood outside the shut gates where the boys were already standing. Ground Beta was like a replica of a small city. Shops, tall buildings, houses, malls.

"That's fuckin' huge." Yoshiko gasped.

"It is," Mina replied. "Did you have similar training grounds in Isamu?"

"We had a lot of training grounds, but nothing this realistic," Yoshiko replied.

Yoshiko ran her eyes over the class again, recalling their names as she did. Her eyes locked with a pair of heterochromatic eyes for a second before they shifted to the angry ash-blonde who was busy shouting at Kaminari Denki. She felt bad for the poor boy who seemed to always be in the wrath of the Pomeranians yelling. She smiled and waved at Shinsou, who rolled his eyes at her. Finally, Aizawa walked in front of the class, clearing his throat to gain the attention of his students.

"This is like most of your regular heroes' versus villains training," Aizawa said, pushing his hair out of his face. "But with a twist. If you manage to tie this ribbon on your opponent, the person you tied it on can't move until their teammate comes and takes it off them. If you manage to put the ribbon on both of your opponents, you win. Simple."

"It's like freeze tag!" Kirishima exclaimed. Yoshiko had to force herself to look away from his costume.

"Sort off," Aizawa said. "We'll be drawing lots to determine the teams."

The teams were decided. Yoshiko was in team C, the villain team with Jirou Kyouka. The plum hair stood with Yoshiko, giving her a fist bump, which Yoshiko happily returned. Lots were drawn again to see which team would go against which. Team C was against Team F.

"Who's in team F?" Yoshiko asked Jirou.

"Bakugo and Shinsou," Jirou said. Yoshiko rejoiced because she got to go against her best friend, and they hadn't sparred in ages. Her second reason to rejoice was because she could beat the shit out of Bakugo for a valid reason. Yoshiko skipped over to Shinsou and grinned at the purple head.

"We finally get to go against each other."

"Dont expect me to go easy on you just because we're friends." Shinsou rubbed his eyes sleepily.

"I know, sleepy head," Yoshiko said sarcastically. Shinsou swung an arm around her shoulders and gave her a noogie, which the class watched with amusement.

"I'm going to beat the shit out of you, bitch." She heard a familiar voice from behind her. She turned around to see Bakugo scowling, burning holes into her with fierce crimson eyes.

"I'd love to see you try." Yoshiko made a face of disgust and walked back to Jirou.

The first match was team A against team I, which was Midoriya and Iida against Sato and Shoji. The rest of the class stood in the monitor room, watching the match. Yoshiko's jaw dropped when she saw Midoriya in action. He was unbeatable with all his quirks. The blush on Uraraka's cheeks didnt go unnoticed by Yoshiko. She noticed how close the two were when they played with Bear last night. She assumed they were a couple. They did look sweet together. Like two teddy bears.

Yoshiko saw Shinsou and Bakugo strategizing. A scowl was set on Bakugo's face, which Yoshiko assumed was permanent. Her best friend just listened to him, adding something of his own, which Yoshiko couldn't hear.

"Hey, Jirou," Yoshiko said, gaining Jirou's attention from the screen. "Our match is after this one. We should strategize too."

"Yeah, we should." Jirou nodded. The two girls walked outside the monitor room and sat on the steps.

"You have seen Shinsou in action, right?" Yoshiko asked the plum-haired girl.

"Yeah, a few times. But I've never gone against him."

"Okay. We'll have to be careful when we communicate." Yoshiko said, playing with the shite capture ribbon. "Because of the new support item, he uses. He can mimic anyone's voice."

"Well then, we should capture him first," Jirou said, twirling her earphone jacks around her finger.

"Yes. Your quirk helps you listen to sound and vibrations from far off, right?" Jirou nodded. "Okay, cool. We'll use your quirk to search for them and attack first. Then we capture Shinsou, which is going to be difficult because he might capture us before we get him. He's been training with Aizawa sensei."

"What about Bakugo?" Jirou asked. "His quirk is troublesome too."

"I can handle explosions." Yoshiko grinned.

"The thing is... knowing Bakugo, he'll want to attack first, too."

"Then it's just a race to see who attacks first. And we'll find them first because of your search abilities."

"Sounds good." Jirou gave Yoshiko a smile.

Jirou handed Yoshiko a noise-cancelling headset. "So you dont go deaf when I use my quirk."

Yoshiko took two grenades from her utility belt and gave them to Jirou, which she took with a confused look.

"They have my light inside," Yoshiko explained. "They explode on impact."

"Oh. It is similar to Bakugo's grenades. He stores his sweat inside."

"He uses them too?!" Yoshiko yelled.

"Yeah."

Yoshiko clicked her tongue and looked away. Everything about Bakugo seemed to annoy the fuck out of her.

｡⋆｡˚ ʚïɞ ˚｡⋆｡

The girls stood outside the gates, waiting for the gates to open so they could go inside. Yoshiko let her protective glasses drop to her eyes.

"Team C VS. Team F." Said a robot in the commentary. "Start!"

Yoshiko and Jirou ran inside and came to a skidding halt as Jirou inserted her headphone jacks into the ground and listened, closing her eyes. "They are straight ahead of us and are approaching fast!"

"Let's hide in one of these buildings!" Yoshiko exclaimed. "This way, we can attack them when they're looking for us."

"Alright!"

Yoshiko and Jirou entered one of the buildings and remained there as Jirou listened for sounds, crouching down. Yoshiko kept glancing outside the window.

"They're here!" Jirou exclaimed in a hushed tone. Yoshiko looked outside the window again to find the two boys looking around. Shinsou had his hands around his wrapping cloth, and little explosions popped from Bakugo's palms as he looked around with a frown.

The girls ran out of the building. The boys still had their backs to them. Jirou plugged her earphone jacks into the sound amplifier in her forearms and sent out a powerful sound attack aimed at Shinsou. Shinsou covered his ears and winced. Bakugo flew to the sky with his explosions and went after Yoshiko.

"Sorry big boy, I'm saving you for last!" Yoshiko exclaimed and dodged Bakugo's explosion.

"Fight me with your explosions!" Bakugo yelled. So Shinsou told him about my quirk? Well, they are in a team, so it was expected.

Shinsou had captured Jirou in his wrapping cloth and was in the middle of pulling her towards him. With Bakugo in the tail, Yoshiko flew to Jirou and threw an explosion at Shinsou, making him loosen the wrapping cloth. He wrapped it around Yoshiko's waist. Yoshiko tugged on it and pulled Shinsou towards her. In that instant, Bakugo grabbed Jirou and tied the capture ribbon on her forearm.

"Jirou!" Yoshiko yelled. Jirou mouthed a sorry. Bakugo flew off with Jirou and put her on top of a building so Yoshiko couldn't easily get to her. Yoshiko returned her attention to Shinsou and growled. She grabbed his face and punched his gut, followed by an explosion that sent Shinsou flying into a wall.

"Yoshiko!" Jirou exclaimed. Yoshiko was going to reply when she stopped. Jirou and Yoshiko wasn't on first-name bases. It was Shinsou's trick. Nice try, Toshi.

Bakugo threw an explosion at her, which she dodged with ease. "Fight me!" He roared. Yoshiko ignored him and flew to Shinsou, throwing another explosion at him. Shinsou remained on the ground, panting heavily. Shinsou's hands went to the wrapping cloth on his neck again, but she caught his wrists and heated her palms, making him wince in pain. She skillfully tied the ribbon around his leg.

"No use struggling, Toshi." She said.

Bakugo sent an explosion towards her, and she dodged, rolling away with Shinsou. With a grunt, she threw her tall purple friend over her shoulder.

"You're so short." Shinsou snorted. "Your legs might break."

"Oh, shut it. You lost to this short person." Bakugo came after her again, and she flew off far away. Shinso gripped her back to keep himself from falling. She broke the glass of a window and set a tired-of-life Shinsou down.

"Beat his ass, I guess," Shinsou said. "I'll go to sleep."

Yoshiko looked out of the window. She spotted Bakugo flying with the help of his explosions, looking for her. She wanted to remove the ribbon from Jirou first, so she could move too. But If Yoshiko flew to Jirou, she'd make noise with her explosions, which would gain Bakugo's attention. Yoshiko took the elevator to the ground floor and ran to the building where Bakugo had put Jirou. She stopped to take a breather and ran again when she heard Bakugo yell in the distance. Yoshiko took the elevator to the last floor and found Jirou looking down with a pout.

"Hey, Jirou!" Yoshiko exclaimed, running over to her.

"Akimitsu! What are you doing here? Did you capture Shinsou?!" Jirou asked as Yoshiko removed the ribbon from her arm.

"I did," Yoshiko replied. "We're after Bakugo now."

"You could beat him without me," Jirou mumbled.

"Nope. We're winning this together." Yoshiko grinned wide.

"I'm not good against that powerhouse, though." Jirou groaned.

"Oh yes, you are. I'll take on Bakugo. You come in for a surprise attack when I ask you to. Is that okay?"

"Sounds good. I'll be hiding somewhere near you guys." Jirou said and took the elevator. Yoshiko jumped off the building and flew to the ash blonde, who was standing on the road with a scowl, still looking for her. She landed next to him.

"Finally decided to stop running away?" Bakugo growled, sporting a smirk.

"Sorry, Bakugo, I tend to save the best bit for the last," Yoshiko replied.

Yoshiko attacked first, throwing a powerful explosion at him. Bakugo cancelled out the effect with his own explosions. He charged at her with a roar, but she dodged by flying behind him. Yoshiko formed a gun with her hand and shot out fast beams of explosions around Bakugo, making it look like gunshots. This was one of her ultimate moves, minigun. If she actually hit Bakugo with it, he could die, so she just destroyed the road around him, trapping him in a circle.

"Lame ass move!" Bakugo yelled. He flew to the sky and hit her with his own ultimate move. AP shot auto canon, a move in which he concentrated all his explosions to one point. Yoshiko skillfully dodged his attacks, scowling. Bakugo seemed to already have another version of each of Yoshiko's moves.

"I thought you were going to be some hot shit with your explosions." Bakugo landed in front of her. "But you're trash! I'm ending this."

Bakugo propelled himself in a circular motion with his explosions, getting ready to hit Yoshiko with his ultimate move, howitzer impact. Yoshiko, however, had other plans. She had been throwing her grenades around in random places while fighting him. Yoshiko kneeled down and put one hand behind her and one hand in front of her. With the front hand, she created extremely big and powerful explosions, an ultimate move she called a supernova. The explosion triggered her grenades, which also exploded, creating an intense blast wave immense amount of heat and light. With the hand behind her, she kept making small explosions, so that she could avoid the recoil of her own explosion. Yoshiko's muscles ached, but she was sure to win with this finishing blow.

The road broke to pieces and flew along with the wave of the explosion. She was a villain right now. She didnt care about the damage. That was Bakugo's and Shinsou's compartment to worry about, and Bakugo didn't seem to care about damage to the surroundings. Shinsou was locked up far away.

Once the smoke cleared, Yoshiko found Bakugo's back smashed into a wall, his mouth and nose bleeding. She spun the ribbon in her hand and walked to Bakugo with big strides.

"Is that hot shit?" Yoshiko smirked. "Or is your definition of hot shit something else?"

"I'm gonna fucking murder you!" Bakugo yelled in a hoarse voice. His face was covered in dust. He looked up at her with dangerous crimson eyes that matched the colour of his blood.

"Now, now, you're supposed to be playing the hero." Yoshiko wrapped the ribbon around his arm. She was going to tie it when Bakugo punched her glasses with full force. The glass broke and stabbed her cheek, causing her to wince in pain. She was lucky it didn't stab her eyes instead. In a second, he was straddling her. He took out a white ribbon from his pocket and almost tied it around her wrist.

"Jirou now!" Yoshiko screamed. Jirou came running from a corner and came to a skidding halt. She attacked the arena with a powerful sound blast. Bakugo rolled off Yoshiko and covered his bleeding ears, gritting his teeth. Yoshiko jumped up and tied the ribbon around Bakugo's neck, tying a perfect ribbon.

"Villain team C has passed the test," Aizawa said in the commentary.

｡⋆｡˚ ʚïɞ ˚｡⋆｡

Bakugo lay there with his ears aching and ringing. He couldn't move a muscle when she tied the ribbon around his neck with a sadistic smirk. He didnt have any power left to move. That blast from earlier had probably shattered his back. Anger bubbled inside of him.

He just lost a person with a quirk like his own.

Know your place, fool.

The following chapter is a snippet from Always.

Summary: Bakugo is curious about the new girl's quirk. Unfortunate for him, he doesn't know how to ask nicely.

Yoshiko felt a tiny bit bad when she saw an unconscious Bakugo being put onto a stretcher by two robots. She got carried away in the heat of the moment and forgot it wasn't an actual fight. Shinsou had come out from the building and tapped Yoshiko's shoulder. Yoshiko turned around to see her purple friend and shot him a smile.

"Your cheek is bleeding." He said, inspecting the glass in her cheek.

"Yeah, I'll go to Recovery Girl," Yoshiko replied.

"That big explosion. Was it you?" Shinsou scratched his always sleepy head.

"Mhmm~" Yoshiko smiled proudly. "That was one of the ultimate moves I was telling you about. The fire and blast power is x10 in that move. I should've held back against Bakugo, though."

"I didnt get to see it," Shinsou grumbled. Yoshiko patted his back and followed the robots to Recovery Girl with Shinsou.

Recovery girl inspected Bakugo's back. His shirt and bracers were taken off, giving Yoshiko a fine view of his muscular back. Yoshiko sat on a chair, feeling bad for how she smashed his back.

"You need to learn some restraint, child." Recovery Girl said sourly. She saw Shinsou smirk at her. Yoshiko smiled at him and flipped him off when Recovery Girl wasn't looking.

After tending to Bakugo, Recovery Girl used a magnifying glass to make sure there were no glass pieces on Yoshiko's cheek before giving her a fat kiss on her uninjured cheek. Yoshiko made a face when she felt Recovery Girl's chappy lips on her cheek, which made Shinsou suppress a laugh.

"What's so funny?!" Yoshiko yelled at Shinsou once they got out of the infirmary.

"Bet that was one of the worst kisses you've had," Shinsou smirked. Yoshiko huffed and agreed to it. I've had amazing kisses... that apparently meant nothing. Yoshiko tucked a stray hair behind her ear, shaking off the old memories that somehow came floating to the surface again. Yoshiko put a brick on them, sending them sinking again.

Shinsou caught a glint of her many earrings and looked at her from the corner of his eye. She was wearing one of the pairs of earrings her brother gave her. They had become a staple part of her ears after he passed away. Right above that one, was the earing he gave her. She never removed that either.

In the monitor room, Yoshiko was bombarded by questions and statements, which made her sweatdrop.

"That explosion was huge!" Midoriya exclaimed with a notebook in hand. "Is it an ultimate move?! What is it called?! How does it work?!"

"It is called 'supernova'. Er- why are you noting it down..."

"This? Oh, I note all of my classmates moves in here. Are you fine with that?"

"It's fine."

"It was a powerful explosion." She heard a monotone voice and turned her head in its direction. Todoroki bought his knuckles to his chin, thinking of something. Yoshiko gave him a grin and looked up at the monitor, which displayed another match.

"Akimitsu. I suggest you dont kill your classmates." Aizawa said, looking at the two-tone-hair girl. He heard a bit of her explosive personality and enthusiasm from Hawks, but it was the first time he saw her in action.

"Sorry, sensei, I got carried away. I'll keep that in mind, though."

｡⋆｡˚ ʚïɞ ˚｡⋆｡

Orange light leaked through the curtains, engulfing the infirmary in hues of orange and red.

Why am I here... Bakugo thought. Oh right. That weird bitch. He got up, his back slightly aching. It was better compared to before he lost consciousness. He sat up and ruffled his hair. He lost to a bitch with an explosion quirk. Unacceptable. Everything about it was unacceptable. Out of all the quirks she had to be born with, she came out with an explosion quirk.

How does it work? I didnt smell nitroglycerin. She was sleeping with her hair glowing. What was that about?

"Ah, you're awake." Recovery Girl hopped off her chair. "You're good to go. Just to dont strain your back too much."

"Okay. Thanks." Bakugo mumbled. He grabbed the tank top of his hero costume, taking one look in the mirror before leaving. His torso was wrapped in bandages. He walked to the changing rooms and changed back into his uniform. Judging by the hues of the sky, Bakugo thought it would be the last period. He was right when he opened the door and saw his history teacher writing notes on the board.

"Come in, Bakugo." He said. Bakugo's red-haired best friend waved at him, which Baugo didnt return.

Yoshiko was too submerged in her notes to notice Bakugo pass by her. When she felt the desk behind her shift a little, is when she realised he was back from the infirmary. She glanced behind her and made a mental note to apologise to him after class. Bakugo scowled at her, and she rolled her eyes, returning to her notes.

While Bakugo was busy glaring daggers at Yoshiko's back, Yoshiko was busy in the clouds, thinking about her dog. Bear never had to stay alone for so long. Usually, when Yoshiko used to be at school, their maid used to be with Bear, so he never felt alone. Yoshiko promised herself to take him on a walk and buy him his favourite snack after school.

When the bell rang, Yoshiko packed her bag and looked back at Bakugo again, who was walking to Kirishima. "Hey, Bakugo." She tapped the tall ash-blondes shoulder. He glanced behind him with an annoyed face.

"I wanted to say sorry for blasting you like-" Yoshiko started, but Bakugo yelled a shut up and marched away to his friends. "Okay, I dont feel bad for blasting you like that. I should totally do it again."

"You should," Shinsou said, suddenly standing behind her.

Yoshiko linked her arm with Shinsou's, and the two friends walked outside the school building. Yoshiko animatedly told him about the day's events as if he wasn't sitting a few seats behind her all the time. But he didnt mind. He liked knowing his bestie was having a great time.

"Hito Hito." Yoshiko looked up at her purple friend after she was done blabbing about everything.

"What?" Shinsou replied, his eyes set on the track ahead.

"I want a piggyback ride!" Yoshiko exclaimed, holding her hands up like a toddler.

"Do you realise that you look like a 5-year-old right now?" Shinsou said, looking down at her. "I mean, I get you're short like one, but-"

"I will chop your balls." Yoshiko deadpanned. Shinsou sighed and kneeled down, motioning for her to get on. Yoshiko happily got on his back, and Shinsou stood up, gripping her thighs.

"Thanks, Toshi, you're so nice~" Yoshiko rested her head on his shoulder happily.

"I had no choice." Shinsou sighed. "My balls were on the line."

｡⋆｡˚ ʚïɞ ˚｡⋆｡

A little distance behind Shinsou and Yoshiko were Bakugo, Sero and Kaminari and Kirishima.

"Hey, Sero, do you think they're dating?" Kaminari grumbled with a lollipop in his mouth. "If they are, I might cry. I had my hopes up."

"I dont know," Sero replied casually. He had his hands behind his head as he leaned backwards.

"I dont think they are!" Kirishima patted Kaminari's back. "I heard Mina ask her the same question, and Akimitsu said no. They are childhood buddies. That's why they're close."

"So that means I have a chance?!" Kaminari exclaimed.

"You think you have a fuckin chance with every girl you see." Bakugo snorted.

"Awww, c'mon, man. You're supposed to be boosting my confidence!"

"Like hell I am."

｡⋆｡˚ ʚïɞ ˚｡⋆｡

When they arrived at the dorms, Yoshiko got off Shinsou's back and rushed inside. As if waiting for her, Bear pounced on her, making her fall, slobbering her face. Yoshiko giggled and hugged her dog, which was bigger than her when she was sitting.

"I'm getting a fine view of her underwear from here." Mineta drooled, hiding under the table and watching Yoshiko with intent eyes. Todoroki dragged him from under the table by his collar and bought him up to face level, raising his eyebrows. That was enough to scare Mineta.

"Sorry!" Mineta scurried away to the kitchen.

"Thanks, Todoroki," Mina said as she passed by him. Todoroki nodded. He looked at Yoshiko again, her metallic eyes gleaming with happiness as she put on a collar on her dog, leaving to take him on a walk, still in her uniform.

｡⋆｡˚ ʚïɞ ˚｡⋆｡

Shinsou had to train with Eraserhead after school, so he couldn't accompany her to take Bear on a walk. Bear practically dragged Yoshiko around with the leash. She remembered when he was just a pup, and walking him was so much easier. But then he grew and grew and grew, and now he was like a mini Grizzly bear.

Yoshiko steered Bear to a convenience store. The cashier didnt let Bear in, so Yoshiko had to tie his leash to a lamp post. Bear whined a little but sat patiently when Yoshiko mentioned apples. Yoshiko went inside and bought a small tray of sliced apples. Apples were Bear's favourite snack. As they walked back to the heights alliance, Yoshiko fed Bear the apple slices.

The first thing Yoshiko did was shower and change into a baggy black hoodie and leggings before going to the kitchen for dinner, where most of the class was already sitting.

"Ah, there you are, Akimitsu!" Mina pulled Yoshiko into a seat beside her. "Iida and Midoriya made beef stew. Want some?"

"Gladly." Yoshiko smiled. Bear went over to the mustard blonde, Kaminari. Kaminari lay on the floor and rolled with Bear, laughing. Yoshiko smiled at the pair as she ate her food.

"Hey, Akimitsu, why didnt you attend U.A. during our first year?" Mina asked, resting her chin in her palm.

"I failed the entrance test." Yoshiko casually replied.

"With that power? No way." Jirou commented from across the table. Yoshiko gave the two girls a mysterious smile. 

"Well, I was going through some things, and I didn't really give my mind to it."

Mina formed an O with her mouth. Out of the corner of her eye, Yoshiko noticed Kaminari feeding Bear something. She froze when she saw a packet of gummy bears in his hand. Yoshiko shot out of her seat and took Kaminari's wrist before he could feed Bear another gummy worm. Bear reached out for the gummy, and Yoshiko pushed his snout away gently.

"Please dont him feed any gummies or chocolate..." The last thing she wanted was Bear to get sick. "It's not good for dogs." This time she faced all her classmates, locking eyes with the ash blonde before looking away. "If you guys wanna feed him, I put his snacks and dog food in that cabinet. But please dont feed him anything other than that without asking me first."

"I'm sorry," Kaminari mumbled.

"It's okay." Yoshiko showed him a thumbs-up.

"We'll keep that in mind, Akimitsu!" Iida formed a 90° angle with his arms.

"Thanks, class rep."

After dinner, Yoshiko retired to her room with Bear. Shinsou sat on her bed, doing his homework. He scratched his head, getting his brains tangled in a particularly tricky math question.

"Did you finish number 5?" He asked her. Yoshiko had already finished her homework and passed her math notebook to Shinsou, not looking up from the novel she was reading. Shinsou skimmed through her working and tried it by himself.

"Thanks." He pushed the notebook back to her. Bear had already fallen asleep in his little bed in the corner of the room.

"Do you want to watch a movie?" Yoshiko asked after Shinsou finished his homework.

"Sure." He replied. "Not like I have anything better to do."

Yoshiko handed him her laptop and went downstairs to get some snacks. The common area and the kitchen were empty now, save for the ash blonde who was cleaning his green gauntlets in the living room. She ignored him and went to the kitchen, grabbing two packets of Doritos. On her way out, she was stopped by Bakugo.

"What?" She asked.

"How does your fuckin' quirk work." He growled.

"Ask nicely," Yoshiko replied sarcastically. She had no intentions of letting him in on her quirk. Bakugo slammed the wall with a palm behind her, stopping her from going away. He had some grease on his left cheek from the Gauntlets.

"Bitch, you break my nose and back and then expect me to be fuckin' nice?" He said in a low and dangerous voice. Yoshiko stared deep into his crimson eyes, unamused.

"This bitch broke your nose because some rabid dog decided to fucking drag her out of her sleep."

"Who the fuck are you calling rabid?" Bakugo snarled. Yoshiko looked behind his shoulder and then looked sideways.

"I only see one rabid Pomeranian here." Yoshiko looked up at him with a mischievous grin and tilted her head, challenging him to yell at her. Bakugo slammed his other palm into the wall, now trapping her.

"Watch your mouth, sweetheart." He growled lowly. Yoshiko was unfazed.

"You watch your mouth, princeling." Yoshiko snapped. Bakugo grabbed her collar and bought her to face level, making a gasp escape her lips.

"I'll say it only once again." Bakugo threatened. "How does your fucking quirk work."

Yoshiko grabbed both his wrists and swung her leg straight into his groin, making his face freeze. Bakugo's legs buckled and his hands shot down to his family jewels, a painful groan escaping his throat. Yoshiko looked down at him with cold and unmoved eyes.

"If you ever grab me by the collar like that again. I will end you and your fucking generation, Bakugo Katsuki."

Bakugo was in too much agony to spit an insult at her. He lay on the floor his hands still cupping his groin. Yoshiko kneeled down and took a fistful of ash-blonde hair. She brought his head up to her level and locked deadly eyes with him. She brought her mouth closer to his ear and whispered, "Know your place, fool."
