Izuku and Bakugo took in their surroundings, the trees here had lightened pink leaves, falling at an unnaturally slow speed. The leaves danced peacefully to unnaturally calm wind, the light rays doing a Deer and Doe stood around, walking through the trees, grazing peacefully just as the first did, however fear did not consume the creatures when their eyes laid upon the two teenagers.

However, it was the structure in the center that the two had been focusing on. A simple stone path weaved its way to the center of the pink wooded area, leading right to the staircase of an old shrine. Bakugo and Izuku walked slowly down the stone path. Izuku took in the breathtaking sight, taking a quick glance at Bakugo. Bakugo seemed at ease, even surprised by the sight. Izuku smiled to himself. Bakugo really did have a soft spot for scenery and nature. Too bad he would revert back to normal when they headed back.

"What the hell is this..." Bakugo mumbled under his breath. The two had made it to the gate way of the shrine.

"The gates slightly open. I dunno if we're allowed in though. But that light... Hey! Ka-Chan!" Izuku called out as Bakugo pushed the gate open.

"Shut it nerd. We were clearly called here." He said, taking a few steps in, taking a look around.

"Ka-Chan! We don't know that! It could've been a coincidence!" Izuku said, however he followed Bakugo in nervously. As the two walked up to the shrine, Izuku took in the architecture. Wooden, covered in a deep red paint. Thought the wood seemed ancient, the shrine seemed in perfect condition.

Bakugo put his hand to the wood and felt it.

"Ka-Chan!" Izuku said, not feeling as though they should touch anything.

"So... What the hell do you want with us?" Bakugo said, slightly menacingly, ignoring Izuku and looking up the few stairs leading to the shrines doors. Izuku raised an eyebrow and looked up were Bakugo was looking, his face contorting to seriousness when he saw.

A girl, around their age, sat at top the stairs. Izuku frowned. She most certainly wasn't there before, and he hadn't heard her move there.

"Katsuki, Bakugo and..." The girl said, not directly looking at either one of them. Her eyes were closed. "Midoriya... Izuku."

"How the fuck do you know our names girl?" Bakugo said, now fully facing her. Izuku looked at Bakugo with slight irritation.

"Ka-Chan, calm down." Izuku said, his confident side taking over. As strange as this was, the girl hadn't done anything to deserve anger or defense towards her... Yet.

"Shut the hell up! You're just gonna go along with this?" Bakugo said, angrily. Izuku nodded.

"Well, we are the ones that followed and then burst in." Izuku said. Izuku turned to face up the stairs but the girl had vanished. He looked down slightly to see she was now in front of him. Nose to nose, in front of him. Izuku yelped, blushing bright red, falling to the ground.

"Are you okay? Did I scare you?" She asked, loftly.

"D-D-D-Don't do that please... A few feets distance would be nice..." Izuku stuttered out. He had his loyalty to protect and guard.

"Oi don't get so close to me weirdo!" Bakugo said. Izuku looked at Bakugo. He seemed to be talking to the same girl he was... But no one was in front of him.

"K-Ka-Chan... The girl is right here..." Izuku said, pointing upwards since he was still on the ground. An angry Bakugo looked his way.

"Why is your ass on the ground? And what are you talking about? No one is there dumbass!" He yelled. Izuku looked and the girl was gone once again. Izuku stood.
