KLEXOS ≽⁺. [ My Hero Academia ]

Led Astray

I stared out of the bus window, as songs began to play through my earphones and into my ear, waiting for my stop to be announced. Japan was always the prettiest in spring, especially when school started: the flowers, the weather and the trees. Though being in the city, it's rare to find a lot of just plain empty land. In fact, I could sit down in an empty field and just enjoy life there as it is.

I gently leaned my head against the window, though it didn't last long. The bus would always rattle and vibrate, sending the same amount of force into my head. I sighed a bit and returned my focus inside the bus. I was just plainly staring at the sign, waiting for my stop. That's when the thought came past my mind.

Who is Aizawa? Kaminari and Kirishima said that he was their homeroom teacher... Plus, they said we had the same quirk. I stare down into my necklace, looking at the ring. If we have the same quirk, what does that mean for me? Do I actually have family? But I can't just assume, it could all just be a coincidence for all I know...

I saw my stop was next to I pushed the button, indicating that I wanted to get off. As the bus reached my stop and opened it's doors, I stepped out. I had to walk past a few people, trying to keep to myself. I let the song ring through my ears; giving me this a sense of relaxation. I took a slow inhale of the spring breeze, and a small exhale. I continued to walk along the pavement and into a familiar alleyway. Whenever I went to school in Junior High, I would always take this shortcut home; not only was it convenient, it was peaceful too.

I continued to pace myself along the alleyway, until something from the corner of my eye caught my attention. I shifted my gaze to my left and saw a cat perched onto the side. I stopped for second and observed it. I assume it's an old cat, seeing how frail it looked. It had the standard beige fur with little lines of light brown fur. There was a collar around it's neck, dangling creating small flashes of light bounce off of it. I crouched down and took my earphones out, placing a small hand onto it's head. Surprisingly, it curled into my hand, purring with content.

"Hello..." I mumbled to the cat, I took this as a chance to look at what the cat's name was. I kept petting it, my hand slowly making its way to the name tag, "...Sushi..?"

Sushi? Actually that's a pretty cute name for a cat. "Well Sushi, are you lost?" I said softly, seeing how it sat down, Sushi's tail slowly curled around to the front.

Of course, I'm not expecting the cat to talk back to me. But it did respond in some way; Sushi smiled a little. Which, unknowingly, led my muscles to contract and I felt a large smile plastered along my face. "You're a cute one aren't ya~"

I felt a sudden vibration in my blazer; I took my phone out and saw a couple of messages. It was from Kaminari: 'Did you get home safe?' I unlocked my phone and typed him a response: 'Yeah'. I didn't really lie, down this alleyway led to the foster home anyway. I turned my phone off and shoved it into my pocket, wanting to see the cat again.

"S-Sushi?" I mumbled out, seeing that the cat had disappeared. Aw.. I wanted to return Sushi home...

I sighed and stood back up, continuing to walk alone.

"GOOD MORNING! GOOD MORNING!" Present Mic shouted as he entered the room.

"Good Morning Sensei." We all monotonously answered.

Second period has barely even started and we're already getting screamed at... but this was a good way to wake up. I sit up a little, seeing Present Mic walk past our row. He turned his head to look at all of us, making his way in. Seemingly, our row was always the first one to be noticed. So as Present Mic walked in, he made direct eye contact. Even behind the sunglasses, I could tell we made the most awkward eye contact ever.
