To blow off some steam Katsuko began practicing for her audition. This was all too much for her.
When she was with her mother she didn't have to deal with such extreme emotions. Her mother understood her and would never put her through such a thing.
'I am going to kill Katsumi, I swear.'
She thought as she decided to take a break after hours of practice. Just as she was about sit down for a rest she heard a knock on the door.
"Come in!" She called but couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw who it was.
"Hi Tsumi." Momo greeted as sat on her bed.
"Please for the love of God don't call me that. The only people who get to call me Tsumi are the people I love, alright." She said and saw Momo roll her eyes.
"I'm guessing the news of the engagement has shocked you?" She asked.
"That would be the understatement of the century." Katsuko said rolling her own eyes.
"Honey don't worry I swear I'll take care of you very well once I am married to her father." Momo announced which made Katsuko chuckle in amusement.
"Now you are just lying to not just me but yourself as well." Katsuko replied looking down.
"Well little girl you have to get over it. Your father and I are getting married whether you like it or not. It would be better if you were with us or the moment I get the chance you will be on the first plane to a boarding school in London. Am I clear?"
"Crystal." Katsuko responded.
"Well see you soon darling. That chat was lovely." Momo said before standing up and walking out of the room.
A few minutes after, Katsuko received a call from Katsumi.
"The moment I see you I am going to kill you for doing this to me." Katsuko said darkly not even bothering to greet her sister.
"What happened?" Katsumi asked which made the other girl sigh in frustration.
"WHAT HAPPENED IS THAT YOU WOULDN'T LISTEN TO ME AND NOW I AM STUCK IN THIS EMOTIONAL HELL! Dad is getting married you peabrain." She said which made Katsumi gasp on the other line.
"You are kidding right?" She asked not believing that anyone would be mentally strong enough to be with her father besides her mother of course...
"NO I'M NOT! I mean a black tie, white dress . The whole thing is going down in two weeks apparently. So you better bring mom here quickly." Katsumi said practically begging.
"Ok mom and I going to the cinema tonight so I'll drop the bomb on her first thing in the morning." She replied.
"Okay just be fast." Katsuko said before hanging up.
Katsumi stepped out of the booth only to bump into the man who was waiting for her.
"Uh oh." She muttered nervously.
"I think we need to take a stroll in the park young lady." Masaru said a he began leading her toward the park.

"You are not Katsuko." He said as soon as they arrived at the park.
"How'd you know?" She asked looking down.
"Well for one, you behaved too sweetly to be Katsuko no matter how much you tried. Two, you avoided every chance to play the piano with me third, Katsuko spent countless hours in the studio but you just spent them following your mother like a lost puppy and Shawn also told me that he did not see your dance clothes anywhere and fourth, the phone call you just had confirmed my suspicions." He simply said stating facts.
"You knew I wasn't Katsuko so why didn't you tell anyone?" She asked looking up at him.
"That was your chance to be with your mother and I did not want to ruin it for you. I'm also guessing that Katsuko is with her dad." He replied.
"Yes. Katsuko was a little hesitant but I managed to convince her since I really wanted to meet mom and she wanted to meet dad... Are you mad?" Katsumi asked hesitantly.
"Of course not Katsumi. I can't fault you for wanting to meet your mother. You deserve to meet her, just like Katsuko deserves to meet her father... So how did you two meet anyway?" He asked after ruffling her hair.
"We met at the camp. Ko was mad that I looked like her and thought that I had a copying quirk which led to us fighting two times. We both got punishment and that is when we figured out that we are twins." She answered which made the older man let out a laugh.
"Well that's our Katsuko for you. I'm glad I had this talk with you, Katsumi. Now we better get home so you are not late for that movie with your mother." He said and they began walking home.

The next morning Y/N was still in bed wearing silk white pajamas, finishing her coffee and call from London.
"Yes I will have the sketch finished by tomorrow. Bye." She said before hanging up the call.
By the door stood Katsumi listening to her mother finish the call. She couldn't help but to feel a bit nervous.
Masaru walked by and gave her a gentle nudge on the back to push her inside.
"Oh baby, come inside." Y/N said as she saw her daughter.
Y/N patted the space next to her and Katsumi reluctantly went to sit next to her mother.
"When I finish this sketch how about we go for lunch at that place you like so much?" She asked playing with her daughter's hair.
"I would love to but I can't mom. I have to go out of town." Katsumi replied hesitantly as she began to play with the bracelet on her wrist that her father gave her.
"You have to go out of town? Where exactly are you going if I may ask?" Y/N asked thinking that Katsumi was joking.
Katsumi immediately moved under the covers completely disappearing.
"Ko?" Y/N asked as she was beginning to get confused.
"That exactly where I have to go. I have to go see Katsuko." The girl mumbled but it was still loud enough for her mother to hear.
"I see. And where would Katsuko be exactly?" Y/N asked as she played along.
Katsumi just hid herself further into the covers.
"I-In Japan with her father, Katsuki Bakugou!" She exclaimed still not moving from under the covers.
Y/N felt her heart speed up and she slowly looked up at Masaru who just nodded his head. Tears began pooling in her eyes as she looked down at the lump under her covers.
She lifted cover to see a scared Katsumi hiding for her life.
"You are not Katsuko?"
