'Ugh- why was I forced to stay here?' Katsuki thought with agony.

After Izumi and the girls that she was classmates had left the Station, Katsuki was basically forced to be around some of the guys of Izumi's old classmates. Those guys happened to be Shoto, Kirishima, Kaminari and Sero. 

And since they were consistent on wanting to know more about the blond, Katsuki was basically forced to follow them around and was dragged around at certain times. Though Katsuki thought this would just be a simple walk around the town, he was very wrong as these guys actually wanted to look at suits, which was not what Katsuki wanted to do at all. 

'Since I was dragged to follow them, they've been nothing but a pain in the ass. Why can't I just go home or be left alone?' Katsuki thought.

"It doesn't look like you and Midoriya have gotten any closer since the last time I saw you two." Shoto said. Katsuki instantly got annoyed by the subtle comment and he grit his teeth. 

"Yah- what makes you think something like that? Do you want me to punch you?" 

"No, I'm just wanting to know if you and Midoriya have gotten closer since the bridge incident." Shoto said. 

"Tch- not by much, and it doesn't help that these stupid Shinigami have been getting in the way." Katsuki muttered. 

"Shinigami? The Shinigami? But why?" 

"Like I fucking know the answer to that, but ever since that stupid incident on the bridge, I've already been face to face with 3 of 'em." Katsuki stated.

"I didn't think they'd want to be messing with you, that seems quite odd. They didn't appear in your past life, did they?" 

"No, and now they're trying to basically kill me because of what happened in my past life when I was turned into a dog. It doesn't help that I don't even know what these other Shinigami look like." Katsuki said. 

"That doesn't really help much. So do you think the leader of this Casino case is a Shinigami?" 

"It would make sense, I already had to deal with a different Shinigami yesterday and another Shinigami the day before." 

"That really does sound like they're after you, and I'm sure it's not like you can just pick a fight with them since they're immortal spirits." Shoto noted. 

"Yeah, nothing like the damn League, and it doesn't help that I don't have any powers." Katsuki huffed.

"We'll just have to make sure neither you or Midoriya get hurt on this job then." Shoto said. 

"Tch- easier said than done. Did you already forget the stupid floor plan of that place?" 

"No, I have it engraved in my memory, so I think we can come up with a plan to at least try and get you and Midoriya to the leader specifically." 

"Geez- I thought you were gonna think of a plan to keep me and Deku away from the leader?" 

"I have a feeling they'll specifically target you if I came up with a plan of you two keeping your distance from the leader. I'm sure if you two could find the leader in the Casino and get him away from his subordinates, then it wouldn't be a problem. Then again, this might be a Shinigami judging from what you've told me." Shoto said. 

"Hah- I just don't want Deku to get hurt, that's more important to me than anything else." 

"I can understand that."

"Hey Bakugo, Todoroki, why don't you guys join and stay at my place tonight?" Kirishima suggested.
