Neko's Kittens and Spin the Deku

 The second test was a complete failure on all the Chakos parts. They don't deal with stress very well and Ochako herself never did to begin with. During the last exercise, Ahcha snapped and went on her typical rampages and single handedly destroyed the cyborg that Melissa had made for them to conduct the extreme stress scenario. This prompted them to fail the experiment, but science is built on failures and there's no grade for it whatsoever. Tiicha didn't even take part in the last portion having tapped out during the intellect test after having a breakdown, but her date with Izuku fixed that issue. With the end of the fall starting to get closer and closer, the class has been given a reprieve for some R&R during the remaining 4 weeks. Though they were told not to get soft in their time away from the training field. For the past couple days however there was a new activity that the Chakos and Eri were trying to do.

Neko's kittens were now in the exploratory and playful stage of kittenhood at 5 weeks old. Though their small size keeps them from going everywhere in the dorms, the natural curiosity that cats are so well known for has started to appear. As of right now, the six Chakos and Eri are sitting in the common space with a circle of beanbags and stuffed animals creating a play area for the six kittens to run around and play in. Neko herself was seated on the top of the recliner outstretched and sleeping above Izukus head as he read over some messages in the class group chat on his phone. Two kittens in particular have proven to be the most rambunctious of the bunch, the tuxedo coated runt of the litter and his big brother the charcoal black coated kitten. The two of them don't seem to understand what a bedtime is and are constantly bounding and chasing after each other, despite the tuxedo's difference in size. That kitten in particular has been on a special diet of more formula as well as milk from Neko and has been growing steadily making up for the grams that his littermates have over him.

"So, have you figured out what to name them yet Eri? I think we should name this one Tom." Haicha says picking up the kitten with the greyish blue coat. "You even have the same white on your belly as he does, don't you little kitty?"

"I have a few names. The fancy kitty is Hadei." Eri says pointing to the tuxedo kitten currently biting a toy mouse almost as large as he is. "The white kitty is Yuki."

"Oh so like snow, that fits her perfectly." Haicha smiles, picking up the white kitten and holding her up to her face allowing the kitten to sniff her nose. "What about the calico kitty?"

"Patchi." Eri responds before grabbing a small string toy to entertain the kitten she just named.

"The orange one?"

"Sabita"

"Oh, Rusty. That's probably the most common name for orange cats but it works for him." Riicha says, picking up the small cat and placing him on her shoulder. "What about the little one?"

"Namaiki."

"Why Cheeky of all things?" Ahcha wonders lifting the small kitten in a single hand to eye level.

"He's naughty and learned how to open his cage."

"Smartass cat." Ahcha says, causing the kitten to meow loudly at her.

"What about the smokey blue one?" Ochako questions putting her hand in front of the kitten keeping him from making an escape attempt over her thigh by climbing her denim shorts.

"Kamu."

"Bite? Why--OW?!" Izuku asks before said kitten bites his toe hard enough to break skin. "Ok that's why. Come here you little stinker." Izuku picks up the small creature by the nape of the cat's neck similar to how Neko would carry and move them around.

"Oh, looks like the kittens are out to play. Hello kitties!" Toru greets in her typical happy tone causing some of the kittens to turn and start bounding towards their new playmate. "Oh they're so cute. I overheard you all naming them this morning."
