My head rested against the window of the car door, the cold glass soothing. After being rushed to a plane as soon as classes ended, getting off within an hour, ushered into a black SUV, and locked in a car for about 30 minutes now with Rika as a driver, I was done with it.

I momentarily forgot how protective the company is for the people in charge. It was annoying. And Katsuki felt equally as annoyed, being told what to do and where to go - but he kept the arguments to a minimum for my sake.

We were going to Yuuko's house, where we would stay for the weekend. I'll probably be buying a penthouse soon enough, considering I'll be coming to Tokyo more and more often, and would rather not share a house with a married couple- or have them maybe hear Katsuki and I.

So, while I was excited to see my cousin, someone I truly considered a family member - more than my biological twin - I was apprehensive about what tonight, tomorrow and Sunday will bring.

Tonight was the charity event. The charities involved were some that funded for Quirk Support technologies for those who can't afford in their own, orphanages who need better homes/buildings to raise kids in, and training facilities for children to hone their Quirks. It was hosted by Kaz Co., hence all the associations with Quirk charities considering the company is the largest in making support items and costumes for Heroes, police, and military worldwide.

And because it is run by my company, what better way to introduce myself as heir - again - then by donating a million dollars to each charity?

That's one way to get the public on my side.

No, it wasn't the money I was worried about - trust me, I have way more than I could ever need. It was the fact that I was going to be involved in this world again, be a public figure again for this company - even more so than before.

And since Katsuki is joining me, he as well will be a public figure in the business world.

"What time is this damn event?" Katsuki grumbled.

"We will be arriving at 7:45 to 8 pm. Yuuko and Kendo will be getting there at 7:00 - the same time most attendees will be arriving," Rika answered mannerly. I groaned.

"Are we really trying to push me at this damn thing? Can't we arrive on time too?" I complained, watching as the gates to a secluded, rich neighborhood opened up.

It's been a while since I've visited Yuuko's home.

Rika sighed gently in understanding. "Well, we want to make a splash. Make sure you're noticed by everyone, get every channel and paper talking about you."

"I'm sure my donations will be enough to satisfy that," I replied as the car slowed down, turning onto the driveway of a modernized gray and brown house, with white highlights.

Rika turned the car off before angling to look at me, her lips in a soft smile. "Yuuko is waiting for you, Mira."

An unfamiliar face opened the door. A woman, a measurement tape wrapped around her shoulders, teal hair up in a messy bun.

She blinked st me with wide eyes before recognition snapped. "Ah! You're Yuuko's cousin! Ooh, can't wait to see you in the dress ~" she said happily before her eyes flitted to Katsuki.

This woman smiled seductively at him. I scowled but couldn't fault her. "Now that is a male body that deserves to be displayed!"

"Shut the fuck up Sea-Shell," Katsuki snarled at her, stepping closer to me.

"Fiesty," she clicked her tongue.

"Where is Yuuko?" I asked, tired of the small talk. I pushed past the woman, Katsuki right behind me, dropping our two duffel bags down.
