Chapter Nine
- Jiro -
"Holy crap! What the heck Bakugo?" Kirishima and and Sero laughed at Bakugo who's hair was smoothed down.
"Stop laughing! My hair's gotten used to this and I can't get it back the tight way." Bakugo growled as they kept laughing "Did you not hear me? I'll kill you both!"
"I'd like to see you try, pretty boy!" Sero taunted
"What did you call me?" Bakugo exploded making his hair go back to normal.
"Hey! There it goes!" Kirishima and Sero burst out laughing again. I rolled my eyes at them and focused back on my own conversation with Mina and Tsuyu.
"We did some field work here and there at my internship this week" I told them
"Awesome! You got to face actual villains? I'm super jealous!" Mina gushed
"Well, I didn't fight. All I did was help people evacuate and provide logistical support." I clarified.
"But it still sounds like so much fun!" Mina sighed
"I spent basically the whole time training and cleaning the ship deck." Tsuyu added, "Though, there was this one day we caught a bunch of drug smugglers."
"Ok, that's cool." Ashido and I told her
"What about you Ochaco? How was your week?" Asui asked
"I'd say it was very enlightening." Ochaco said while practicing some punches.
"I think she found her fighting spirit." Tsuyu said
"Yeah, that battle hero must've been something else..." I added taking note of how focused she looked.
"After one week she's like a totally different person." Kaminari pointed out.
"Different? Don't be fooled, Kaminari." Mineta warned, "All women are demons at heart. They just hide their true personalities behind pretty faces"
"What the heck did Mt. Lady do to you?" Kaminari wondered before changing the subject, "Everyone at my agency loved me! It was actually kinda great. Now, if you want to talk about the ones who really changed, it was those three." He pointed at Iida, Todoroki, and Midoriya.
"Oh, yeah! The Hero Killer!" Sero remembered. I heard about that on the news. Seven pro heros and three high schoolers ran into the Hero Killer. I didn't know it was those three.
"Glad you guys made it back alive. Seriously." Kirishima told them.
"I worried about you too." Momo said looking at Todoroki. She definitely liked him - even more than I think she realized. I ripped out four small peices of paper from my notebook and wrote 'Meet me by the north stairwell after class - Kyoka' on each of them. I had an idea, but I needed help
"You were lucky Endeavor showed up and saved you guys." Sato pointed out
"So cool!" Toru beamed, "Just what I'd except from the number two hero!"
"Yeah, that's right. He saved us." Todoroki confirmed.
"Did you guys hear the news about the Hero Killer?" Ojiro asked, "Everyone's been saying that he was somehow connected to the League of Villains. Can you imagine how frightening it would have been if that creep had been there when they attacked the USJ?"
"He's scary, yeah. But did you see him in that weird video?" Kaminari questioned, "It's all over the internet."
"I didn't even know there was a video of him." Ojiro said.
"Yeah. Stain's a pretty evil villain but, like super tenacious." Kaminari added"He's almost kinda cool, dontcha guys think?"
"Kaminari!" Midoriya scolded
"Uh! Oh! Dude!" He remembered looking at Iida.
"No, it's okay. You're fine. It is true that he's quite a tenacious villain. I understand why people might think he was cool." Iida reassured, "But instead of helping the world, his beliefs led him to cold-blooded murder. No matter his motives, killing cannot be condoned.
"To keep anyone else from suffering like me, well, I promise I will strive to be the perfect hero!"
"Yeah! Let's do it!" Midoriya agreed.
"It's time for class to begin!" Iida announced, "Everyone please take your seats." I rolled my eyes and groaned.
"He's back." Tokoyami grumbled.
"This is your fault for talking about weird stuff." I told Kaminari with a small glare
"Sorry, I'm gonna keep my mouth shut." Kaminari apologized.
Soon we heading to get changed for some training. On our way to the locker rooms I snuck the notes I wrote to each of the girls except for Momo. Now we wait.
Waiting for the end of the day was hard, but it gave me more time to plot. My plan was really taking shape now. After the races we went back to change. Mineta was being pervy so I have to teach him a lesson about trying to peek into the girls locker room.
We were dismissed so myself and the other girls said goodbye to Momo. I guess she was distracted because she didn't notice that we were all heading in the same direction. It wasn't long until everyone I invited showed up.
"Why did you want us to meet you here Jiro?" Tsuyu wondered.
"We're having a girls meeting." I told her
"Shouldn't we wait for Momo then? Ochaco asked.
"Well, that's the thing, it's about her." I answered, "But I need you all to promise that you won't talk to her or anyone else about it!"
"I feel bad talking to her behind her back." Toru mumbled
"Yeah, this isn't anything bad is it? Yaoyorozu is a sweetheart!"Mina added
"Oh! No of course not! I just have a plan to get her and her crush get together! But I need you to promise to keep it a secret." I assured them. Their faces lit up and they began to chime in their agreement.
"Yaoyorozu has a crush! On who?" Ochaco smiled.
"Ribbet. I'll do what I can to help!" Tsuyu agreed.
"Oh! I've always wanted to be cupid!" Mina gushed.
"This is about her and Todoroki, right?" Toru wondered. The whole group broke into a chatter after that comment. I gave a shrill whistle to bring them all back to focus. They all stared at me.
"Before we discus anything, I need you guys to promise that you won't tell anyone!" I insisted. They all nodded and chimed in their promise, "Ok, good! Now then... Yes, Momo has a crush on Todoroki-"
"It's so cute! They'd be such a power couple!" Mina exclaimed bouncing in place and I gave her a look for interrupting me, "Sorry! Go on!"
"Momo's family is throwing a banquet this summer and she asked me to come. I told her I'd have to ask my parents." I explained, "I'm going to say I can't because I think she should ask Todoroki to accompany her."
"That's a great idea!" Toru beamed
"But here's the thing," I continued, "if I say no, she's going to ask all of you if you'd like to go. In order for her to ask Todoroki, we all have to say no."
"Doesn't that seem a little mean?" Tsuyu asked us
"Well we don't have to say we don't want to," I told her, "we can each make up an excuse about why we can't go. Like having a vacation or something!"
"Oh! That's a good idea!" Ochaco confirmed, "But we can't all have the same excuse..."
"We can figure out our excuses now so we don't all match." Mina suggested
"That's smart." Tsuyu said, "I can tell her I have a family reunion, ribbet."
"That's a good one!" Mina confirmed, "I could say it's my cousin's birthday that day."
"I could say I'm getting a summer job" Ochaco suggests as the girls nod.
"And I could be on vacation!" Toru added
"Then I'll say that my parents are going on a business trip and I have to watch the house." I stood them.
"I don't think she'll suspect us at all!" Mina cheered
"I have a question though." Tsuyu said, "How do we know that Momo will ask Todoroki to go?"
"We don't know for sure, but I have a feeling she will. She doesn't talk to many people besides us and a few of the boys." I said, "And of those boys, she'd only bring a couple of them to a fancy event: Iida and Todoroki. And she talks to Todoroki much more than Iida, so I'm confident she'll ask him!"
"But what if he says no?" Toru asked
"Toru! Don't say that!" Mina exclaimed shaking her for even suggesting that.
"She makes a good point though..." Ochaco agrees, "We don't know if Todoroki likes Momo or not."
"Stop jinxing them!" Mina starts screeching as everyone else agreed with Toru and Ochaco.
"Mina! Calm down! I know Todoroki will say yes." I reassured her, "He talks to Momo, remember? And he considers her to be his friend. Todoroki is polite, even to his general classmates. There's no way he'll say no to his friend!"
The girls looked at me for a while and I was worried I had said something wrong until Ochaco spoke up
"Ok Kyoka! We're trusting you!" and the others nodded in agreement. Now it's up to us to help get Todoroki and Momo together or they'll never make a move.
