Tsukauchi heard his cell phone ringing, the device buzzing and vibrating on the table annoyingly.

He was going to ignore it for a moment, wanting to continue his 'resting his eyes' moment, deciding he would check later. But of course, his partner in justice was part cat, and had to go and be curious and see who was calling him on the phone.

Sansa whacked Tsukauchi, startling the man's eyes open as Sansa picked up the phone and answered it with a happy chirp, "Hello! This is Detective Tsukauchi Naomasa's pho-" Tsukauchi kicked his partners calf in retaliation, reaching forward and grabbing ahold of his phone, bringing it to his ear while the cat man pouted.

"Detective Tsukauchi, who is this?"

"This is (Random hospital name because I have no idea on names of hospitals in Japan), we have a situation with a patient here. You are under emergency contacts, the first line." Tsukauchi stood up, the blanket that Sansa had draped over his lap earlier falling to the ground with his movement.

"What happened? Was there an attack?" Tsukauchi questioned, heart clenching in fear.

"No sir, the patient is safe and okay physically." Tsuakuchi sighed deeply, resting his hand on his hip, shifting off to the side while Sansa began asking him millions of questions, wondering what was going on.

"Then what is the matter?"

"Miss Todoroki is unresponsive, she is." The doctor paused on the other end. Tsukauchi could hear some mild whispering, but unable to catch any words. There was a small 'alright' before the phone was shifted into another person's hold, a new voice coming in through the receiver.

"Sorry if this unprofessional but um, this is Shinsuo Elise. I'm a patient here, I'm in the room right next to Elle's. Elle, as you know, hasn't been talking much during her stay here, but since yesterday, she has closed herself off to great lengths. Like, she is okay, but not??? I don't know how to explain it because of how my quirk works-"

"What is your quirk?" Tsukauchi questions, mind tingling. "It is called Pry. To put it short, I can access people's minds and read their thoughts, I either need permission from them, or I can force my way in. I haven't been able to do either with her since last night. I-Im scared. I-I don't know what to do, no one here does. But maybe you do? Didn't you work on Elle's case?" Tsukauchi glanced to Sansa, silencing the cat man with his eyes.

"I will be right over, has anyone else been called?"

"Has there been?" He heard Elise ask the doctor, and faintly heard the doctor reply with a 'no'.

"No."

"Okay, good. We don't want to worry anyone else with this- Miss Shinsuo, wait you said you couldn't get access to her mind right?"

"Yes sir."

"I know who to call, he may be of help. He is the school counselor at UA, where her brother attends and has been working with him personally as well."

"Okay..." Tsukauchi covered his phone microphone, speaking to Sansa. "Stay here. I need go and check on Elle."

"Oh! Can I come with?"

"No, I'm already bringing someone she doesn't know, she doesn't need a man with a cat head walking into her personal space too." Sansa pouted, whimpering as he was shot down. "Jerk." He muttered. Tsukauchi rolled his eyes.

"Tell the Chief that I will be back as soon as I can." Tsukauchi didn't even check for confirmation from Sansa, opting to grab his blazer and leave the police station.

"Where is Elle at now?" He asks Elise once he exits the building. He almost forgot she was on the line with him.

"In her room."

"Did you know what could have happened for this to happen?"

"I went into her mind yesterday after she gave me permission, this was before she left to her room and closed herself off."

"Why did you want to see her thoughts?"

"S-She wanted to tell me and my brother something, but couldn't get out what she wanted to say." Tsukauchi blinked, 'Brother..?'

"Did you say your last name was Shinsuo?"

"Yes sir."

"You don't happen to be related to a Shinsuo Hitoshi?"

"I am, he is my brother. The one that was with us yesterday. He came to visit me."

"Okay, okay. I guess I will pick him up from UA when I get Hound... I need to hang up, I will be there as soon as I can."

"Okay, thank you sir." He hanged up the lengthy conversation, slowly realizing he was now next to his police cruiser, he must have spaced out on his walk to the parking lot, too caught up in his conversation with Elise.

He took a deep breath in, grabbing ahold of his keys and unlocking his car, climbing in. A few moments later he pulled out of his parking space and out of the lot, onto the roads of the city, heading towards UA.

Unfortunately for him, he couldn't just show up on UA's doorstep out of nowhere, he needed to let Hound Dog know that he was on his way, in need of help.

Also he had to pull Hitoshi out of class, but knowing Nezu, the sly mouse, he will not care if a boy from the General Studies Course was pulled out of class for a few hours, at least until lunchtime. It was getting Hitoshi back into class for the rest of the day is what Tsukauchi was mostly worried about. Because to be honest, when he was a teenager, and he was pulled out of class at the beginning of the day for a few hours, and is expected to be back by a certain time, like around lunch, he would not have gone back to school. Taking a free day off of school.

But sadly, Tsukauchi went to a normal public school, Hitoshi went to a Hero School, who's principal didn't take no shit from nobody.

In the words of Sansa, 'it will be what it will be.'.

But with less swearing, that cat man had such a potty mouth it would put a self-deprecation teenager's swearing skills to shame.

He dialed Hound Dog's number, listening to it ring for a few moments, slowing down at a intersection for the red light.

"Pick up Dog..." He muttered, the phone going to voicemail. Tsukauchi cursed silently, dialing his number again.

Hound Dog entered his office, mouth full of a donut with a large cup of hot tea in his hand. He was on a diet, so ignore the donut part, no one else saw him take it from the staff room, so therefore it is invisible calories. No one saw him shove it into his pie hole. He is safe and good. Don't go and judge him.

He sat his tea down on the table, eyes narrowing at the sight of the phone he left in the room, vibrating on the wood, face down.

'Oh I still have a phone...?' He thought to himself, picking it up, chewing up the rest of his double glazed donut and swallowing the fried dough. He answered his phone, hearing an exasperated sigh on the other end.

"What are you doing today?" 'Oh it's my buddy Tsukauchi, woof!' His casual mood lifted into excitement.

"Oh nothing is planned!"

"Good, I'm picking you up in half an hour."

"Are we going out to eat?!"

"No." His ears lowered in disappointment.

"Shucks..."

"I need your help with something, I will tell you about it when I get there. Oh, also make sure to pull Shinsuo Hitoshi out of class, I don't feel like dealing with Nezu right now." Hound Dog went to speak, but Tsukauchi hanged up on him. He lowered his phone, staring at his hot tea. The dog human grabbed ahold of it, taking a few gulps.

'Another donut wouldn't hurt.'.

Hitoshi stared at the board, then down at his booklet, up at the board again, glanced to his few classmates, then back down to his booklet. He about crashed onto his desk and took a nap right then and there, absentmindedly writing down words that should have been his notes, but he knew when he was this unmotivated, he would look at his notes later tonight and just see random words written in different parts of the page, incoherent and jumbled as he tried to make sense of them. He was surprised he even got into UA in the first place with how out of place all of his thoughts were when it came to the term 'studying', and remembering academics. He probably could have been in Class 1-B for all he knew if he didn't have failed the other portion of the test, but he was up against literal robots. He got a total of, he didn't even know, 2 points? He was too lazy to fact check himself, as was the author currently writing this.

Speaking of the author, she is staring at the time, and is slowly realizing she won't be able to finish this chapter.

So stay tuned.

And yes I am breaking the fourth wall.

'Shut up.'

How rude, Hitoshi.

To Be continued
