Koharu woke up to the sound of the birds chirping softly outside the window, yawning and stretching her limbs. She casted her eyes to the peacefully sleeping cat next to her bed. There're apparent eye bags as it hid underneath Ako's long eyelashes.

'Ako is still in her fitted black jumpsuit, she must be so tired.' Koharu thought, worrying for her dear friend.

"It's still early, i should wake her up later. I should give her the sleep that she needs." Koharu whispered to herself before getting up from the bed.

She closes the door quietly and eventually saw Momo coming out of her room also, already on her uniform. "Yaomomo-sama, ohayou gozaimasu." ( Goodmorning ) Koharu politely greeted and bowed her head slightly.

Momo noticed Koharu and smiled sweetly, "Goodmorning to you too, Koharu-chan. Is Ako still asleep?"

"Mh. She's still asleep, but i figured she must be so tired last night so I decided to wake her up later." Koharu excluded the part of Ako's departure for her dangerous spying work, Ako and Koharu decided they would talk about that matter later tonight after their talk last night.

"I see. She must be tired from searching for a way home. Even though i said i would help you two, i barely even did anything to ease your problems. I feel bad."

Koharu looked at the dignified and loving Momo beside her while walking, she could not believe that Momo thought of that of herself. Even though Koharu still felt insecure about the girl, she still appreciates the help from her family. They helped her adapt and learn more about this world, they even provided a roof for them!

What help did she not provided at all? They feel very thankful for the Yaoyorozu family, so very grateful that they feel they are being dependent on them.

Koharu had to shake her head and sigh, "That's not true at all, Yaomomo-sama. You and your family had helped us enough. We are very thankful for you and the Yaoyorozu heads, without your help and your guidance we wouldn't even know what would happen to us in this unknown and unfamiliar world. You've done enough for us." Koharu sincerely told her utmost thankfulness for the Yaoyorozu family.

  Momo, who had thought she had been utterly useless - felt herself tearing up from Koharu's sincere words. Maybe it was selfish of her to say this, but she truly wanted them to rely on her more. Hearing this from Koharu herself who was a bit distancing herself from them - felt relieved.

She smiled softly and lovingly gazed at Koharu's smiling expression. "Shall we go down now? Father and Mother must be waiting - our food will get cold."

"You're right."

   Later that morning, Koharu and Yaoyorozu already ate and proceeded going to school while they talk about things Koharu is usually doing in their world. And by the time they got into school, Koharu immediately remembered the forgotten Ako.

"...."

  'I'll have to say sorry later...' Koharu thoughts were cutted short when a bunch of reporters swarm both Yaoyorozu and Koharu with a bunch of questions, still early in the morning and they're already so hyper.

"Please tell us about All Might!"

"How is All Might as a teacher?"

  "Can you tell us your experience with All Might as a teacher?"

Koharu became speechless, the power of the number one hero. This kind of reminded me of the time when my sisters found out I was friends with Ako-chan and Yurika-sama.

  Feeling pressured from the bunch of reporters persistently shoving the mic up to her face, Koharu had to make her presence invisible and ran away quietly, leaving the troubled Momo from the reporters. "Yaomomo-sama, forgive me for leaving you..." Koharu muttered and averted her eyes from the betrayed expression of Momo.

"How dare you...!" Momo almost cried when she witnessed Koharu's disappearing figure.

  Koharu safely returned to her classroom, "Goodmorning." Her soft and soothing voice caught the attention of her classmates.

"Ah! Koharu-chan! Yesterday was super fun!" Kirishima greeted with his usual toothy shark grin.

"Kirishima-san, I also had fun yesterday. I would like to hang out with you again sometimes." Koharu didn't notice it but her face is showing signs of blushing.

"Koharu-chan, goodmorning! Where's Ako? She didn't go with you this morning?" Mina started.

"Unfortunately, no. I am ashamed I forgot to wake her up..." Koharu bashfully said while sighing. How could she forget her dearest friend?

  Mina was suddenly surprised by what Koharu said, "You two live together?" She honestly didn't expect that. She had thought that Ako and Koharu were only friends and they are not in the same roof. This is the first information that she had ever gathered ever from Ako and Koharu.

So they live together, totally unexpected.

  "Ah, yeah." Ahhhhh! I had a slip of the tongue! Ako would be so mad at me later! Koharu internally panicked.

  Meanwhile, on Ako's side - she just woke up because of the sudden quietness and the lack of Koharu's usual soft snores. The moment she opened her eyes and saw the clock hanging at the top of the wall, Ako became a blur.

It only took her ten minutes to get ready. From washing her face, styling her hair into a different hairstyle, brushing her teeth and putting on her uniform and shoes. As well as arranging her notebooks and the other things she needed for today.

All the while cursing under her breath. She badly wanted to punch someone that morning. By the time she arrived at the entrance gate, she was immediately swarmed by the reporters - but before they could reach her, she jumped high in the air and noticed a lone figure hiding in the shadows.

It was only for a second, but Ako was able to detect that person's malicious intent. Ako squinted her eyes and thought to herself that she needed to collect the data about that man, with permission or not - she's gonna do it. It was suspicious enough that he is infront of the gate of UA, and he is not even a reporter. But it was all the more suspicious with how he looks at her.

'Creepy ass dude.'

Quicky jumping to the other side of the wall of UA, she ran to the classroom. Hopefully, not late again.

  On her way to the classroom, she bumped into Hitoshi. "Saotome?" Hitoshi immediately knew her by the color of her hair and frail figure.

Ako abruptly stopped and smiled at him, "Shinso!"

"You didn't give me your number that day." Shinso reminded, he badly wanted to connect with his newly found friend. But he doesn't know any information about her, he felt really thankful to God that he bumped into her today.

  When Shinso mentioned about her phone number, she suddenly remembered that day she ran away. Quickly feeling guilty, she apologized.

"I'm sorry for running away from you like that, i suddenly had an emergency so..."

"It's alright, i don't really mind and I understand."

  Ako grinned and pulled out a paper and a pen, wrote her phone number and handed it to Shinso. "Give me a call, alright? But for now i need to go now. I am so late."

"See you later."

Ako dashed away after giving Shinso a bright smile.

When she finally reached the classroom, she was welcomed by a loud cheer. What the heck happened?
Ako gulped and hesitantly opened the door. "Goodmorning, desu wa..." She quietly said and peeked at the door.
Thankfully, the class is so loud that she's not heard by them - Aizawa-sensei is also sleeping in his usual sleeping bag, so she took the chance to sneak inside.

She didn't go unnoticed by a certain porcupine and a dual haired guy.

  When she finally got to sit on her seat, Koharu went up to her and whispered. "Sorry, Ako-chan. I forgot to wake you up this morning.."

Ako sighed when Koharu apologized, well - Koharu's really not at fault at all. It's Ako's negligence and sloppiness that she came in class late today. "It's not your fault, Koharu. So don't apologize, desu wa."

  Koharu felt a little guilty that she was easily forgiven by the usual uptight princess, but nevertheless - she felt very thankful. "By the way, the class is deciding who will be the class president. Do you want to become one, Ako-chan?"

  Ako's face immediately distorted into disgust, "No way."

  Koharu stiffled her laugh, but tiny snorts still came out of her pink lips. Of course, Ako would refuse to be the class president because she had horrible experience back in their academy. Not exactly horrible, it's just not a nice memory at all for Ako.

  When the whole class sorted the votes, there came the results. Midoriya became the president, while Momo became the vice president. Though, Ako's name is dangerously there too. Fortunately, she didn't became the president.

  Ako noticed a certain robotic iida became suddenly gloomy. So he wants to be the president? I won't argue at all, it suits him with his stick to the rules attitude. Ako nodded in accord.

....

   Koharu and Ako is currently sitting on the rooftop's railings. Silently watching the reporters, still lively.

"Don't they ever get tired?" Koharu muttered under her breath.

"Probably." Ako answered curtly and continued eating her sandwich that she thankfully packed before leaving the mansion this morning.

  As they watch the scene after them, they noticed a scruffy man with a noticeable dehydration and dryness came behind the reporters unnoticed. Ako lifted her left eyebrows in curiosity. She had a bad feeling about this.

She watched as the guy touched the gate of UA and started crumbling down like ash. Ako widened her eyes in astonishment, she abruptly stood up and hop off the railing.

  Koharu, who had also watched the scene unfold - started to take actions.

"Koharu, go to the principal's office. I'm gonna go patrol the whole place."

"Okay!"

"Also, tell the principal that a villain is behind this. I have a bad feeling about this one so they better take precautions."

Koharu nodded. Spreading her wings - she flew away towards the the principal office's direction.

As to Ako, she encountered a swarm of students panicking in the hallways. So she had to take the more secluded area, more specifically - where the faculty room is located. As she is scanning the whole area, she felt a sudden disturbance in the air, particularly to the faculty room.

  "What the heck was that?" She whispered to herself.

She cautiously walked towards the said and peeked through the small opening of the door. And there she saw the same man from the entrance before, but he is together with the mist man.

Ako activated her psychometry skill to the maximum level. Her cyan eyes glowed with different stuctures of complicated codes and ancient symbols.

  Hearing the continious ticking inside her head as flood of information about the villains infront of her invaded her head, time seems to stop. In a matter of twenty seconds of the ticking sounds, she witnessed their infiltration to someone's information, or so she says is the schedule of Class 1A.

When the ticking sounds came to an end, is by the time Tomura stepped inside the mist with the warped quirk - carrying along the schedule of her class.

But before Tomura is completely gone, he glanced towards Ako's direction with a creepy grin. That left Ako completely alone with shivers running down her spine multiple times. She didn't feel scared at all, but she felt very crept out.

"Ugh, i hate that guy." Ako shuddered.

   After Ako is done gagging in disgust, she turned serious all of a sudden.

The information that she gathered about the villains, especially the incident today. They were carrying the schedule of Class 1A, means that they are planning something malevolent. It might happen tomorrow, or after tomorrow.

  Ako just knew at that moment, she had to warn Koharu to be cautious and be ready.

To be continued....
