Aiko wasn't in the hospital for very long seeing as all she had was a semi-deep cut, however it was still deep enough to scar. Thankfully though, they were able to heal it quickly so Aiko was able to return to her internship the next day. "I'm sorry I went against your orders..." Aiko said, bowing in front of Nymph.

Nymph chuckled and said, "It's ok, it's noble that you did it to save your friends. Just don't do it again, ok?"

Aiko nodded and the two began to work. 

By the end of the week, Aiko had already gained even more skill, even discovering a new ability within her quirk. "Thank you again for offering me this internship, Nymph," Aiko said as she was getting ready to leave.

Nymph smiled and said, "The pleasure is all mine, Spectre. You've been a fantastic student and... and you reunited me with my brother."

Aiko smiled and walked out of the building, boarding the train to get home. As she was walking to her seat, she wiped her brow. 'Jeez, we really overdid it in that last sparring session,' she thought to herself. 

She then itched a scab that rested on her cheek. 'She even cut me with some of her vines... so rude,' Aiko thought before the scab started to sting and a warm liquid trickled down her cheek. She pulled her hand away to see blood. 'Damn it!' Aiko cursed herself, trying to wipe away the blood. She was so focused on that that she didn't see that the girl sitting in front of her was staring at her intently. 'Blood...' the girl thought to herself, a soft blush rushing to her cheeks.

She studied the bleeding girl and noted that she had pretty, long ebony hair, that she had very pretty, vibrant icy blue eyes, and that her pale skin was smooth. 'She's so pretty... and the blood! I want to taste her blood!' the girl thought to herself.

The next day, Aiko and her classmates returned to school. She approached the classroom and all she heard was laughter. Aiko rounded the corner and what she saw made her choke on her spit from surprise as Haru began cackling. "What happened to his hair???" Haru wheezed.

Aiko choking on her saliva made everyone turn toward her. "Woah, Gessei are you ok?" Kirishima asked.

Aiko continued coughing and gave him a thumbs up. When she finally finished, she said, "I was just... um... caught by surprise."

Bakugo caught her gaze and growled, "Something to say, Ghost Face?!" 

As he said that, his hair poofed back to normal, causing everyone to laugh even harder. As Aiko chuckled, she remembered what had happened, the news she told him. Aiko played with her hair slightly and walked over to him as everyone started paying attention to the boys. "Um... Bakugo?" she asked, gaining the boy's attention. 

He glared at her with his crimson eyes, many conflicting emotions ringing through his mind. "I wanted to say sorry... for just um... springing that news on you out of nowhere," Aiko said, playing with a strand of her hair. 

Bakugo studied the girl before he sighed, "Don't apologize, idiot. I'd be even more pissed if you didn't tell me and I found out from Deku."

"Still... it's not exactly happy news..." Aiko whispered.

Bakugo remembered the things Jeanist told him and sighed, "I'm just glad that I know what happened instead of just being left without an answer... so stop moping. It makes your face look dumb."

Aiko chuckled softly and said, "Ok. I'll leave you alone."

Bakugo walked as the girl walked away and grumbled to himself. 'Whatever...' he thought.
