Problematic kitten

Chapter 18

"Usagi, dear. Come come." Recovery Girl greet Usagi as soon as she step inside the infirmary. "Hi, Ma'am." She greet and sit on the seat she point at. "Call me Chiyo or sensei, dear." She answer. Usagi raise an eyebrow but didn't say anything. Heroine frown a little but decide to go straight to the point. "Before I make your check up I like to offer you something." "Yes?" "I would like you to come to study under me, become my pupil. Next heroes healer." She offer without hesitation.

Even that Eraser has already mentioned it last night it still shock Usagi. She has to squeeze her pants in her fists to ground her down. She has hard time believing her ears. She blink several times and and stare at the older female. Then one question, one that she mostly want the answer come from her lips. "Why me?" She whisper. 

Recovery Girl frown a little. "Why? You clearly has studied about medicine already, you acted without hesitation in time of need and clearly has smart head on your shoulders. I see great potential in you." She answer truthfully. Usagi has hard believing what she told her. She stare at her for a long time, without a word, she didn't know what to say. "It is up to you of course if you want to  accept the position but I already talked to Nezu and he agreed, more like welcome you in UA. We could offer you some courses in school as well, maybe with the hero course...."

Usagi didn't listen to heroine anymore. Her mind going way too fast around the idea that they really offer her a spot in UA. She feel like someone has hit her on the head. Chiyo seem to realize that she has zoned out because she tap her knee. She snap out of her head and turn her attention back toward her. "What do you think dear?" She open her mouth couple times but didn't know where to start. "You don't have to answer right away, you can think about it. This is huge decision after all, are you even interested in heroism?" "YES!" She yell and immediately slap her hand over her mouth. 

Chiyo smile happily to Usagi's outburst and nod. "Are you interested then?" "Of course I am." She whisper as answer and look down on her hands. She start to twist them anxiously. "But I am not suited for the job. I don't have the talent to be a hero, even less for to become a healer." She mumble without looking at her. Heroine didn't answer immediately, analyzing what she told her. "Why you think that dear?" She let out sad laugh and shrug. "Perhaps because my useless quirk or that I am so selfish, not a real hero material." She whisper, half hoping that she won't hear her answer. 

Gentle hand raise Usagi's head, making her to meet Chiyo's eyes. "You aren't selfish, you are brave young woman who seem to care more about others than herself. You jump to cover me without hesitation, you rush to help Mr Tanaka without hesitation. If something is a sign of a true hero, that is." She tell her sternly. Usagi feel how tears come to her eyes and quickly blink them away. "You don't know me, real me." She whisper with desperate voice. Heroine just smile comfortingly to her. "I know you dear, and I hope to get to know you even better." 

Usagi bite inside of her cheek and whip her face free and jump to her feet. She start to pace in the infirmary, trying desperately to get her head in order. "You don't know me Ma'am. I am selfish, idiotic girl who can't be useful to anyone. My quirk is useless to anyone but me. My hyper healing is useless. There is no way I could be a hero." She mumble and suddenly turn to look at the heroine again. "I appreciate the offer but I have to turn it down. I am not the one you are looking for, I am not right for the job. Thank you for the opportunity." She say, give her deep bow and rush to door. 

"Usagi, wait!" Chiyo call after her while jumping to her feet. She ignore her call and yank the door open, she managed to take one step outside until her head start to spin. She has to stop and lean on doorknob. She cover her eyes, trying to get rid of the nausea. "Not now." She hiss and feel how her knees buckle underneath her. "Kid?" Male voice ask worried. She peek between her fingers and curse in her mind. Eraserhead rush toward her, looking worried. She force her hand down, legs to hold her weight and straighten her back. "I'm fine." She announce to two heroes and take one step forward.

Immediately Usagi's leg give out underneath her, nausea wash over her and world spin even more. She wait for the impact but warm, firm arms catch her before she hit the floor. "Kid?" Eraser ask voice filled with worry while he raise her in his arms. "I'm fine." She mumble while covering her eyes. He sigh and she can feel his eye roll. "Recovery Girl?" "Bring her here." She command and Usagi feel how he carry her back inside the infirmary. Panic start to raise in her. She didn't belong here and she should get away. She hear quiet, worried meow following them and as soon as she is on bed something jump on it.

"Cat?" "It is with her." "She is Kuro." Usagi tell them tiredly and move her other hand to pet the kitten. None of them say anything for awhile until Eraser clear his throat. "Care to explain what happen?" She peek between her fingers at two worried heroes and sigh. "Hyper healing consume lots of energy. I haven't eaten properly today." She answer and close her eyes again. "I put in infusion." Chiyo announce and start to collect the items. "No need. I will just need couple minutes rest and I will be out from here." She try to stop her while sitting up. 

Heroine glare at Usagi and Eraser immediately push her back down with stern look. "You stay here as long as you need." He command and cross his arms after making sure that she won't jump back up. She sigh and roll her eyes to him. "I can handle this, thank you very much." She grunt and couldn't stop the huge yawn. Just one energy pill without any sleep last night has finally caught up on her. She could already feel the overwhelming tiredness creeping to her. "So you got hurt yesterday." His grunt catch her attention. She slowly turn to look at him. "That and I trip on stairs later." She mumble way too familiar excuse and shrug. Her eyes start to droop. "You can take a nap. I will look after you." His quiet promise take her off guard and she stare at him in shock for a moment until sleep force its way through her.
