Spectre - (MHA x OC)

Chapter 34: Preparations

"Ugh, Aiko you're so tense! The dance isn't going to look good if you're as tense as Iida the whole time!" Mina criticized.

Aiko grit her teeth. "This is as relaxed as I can go," she stated.

"Well you need to be more relaxed than that! You look as stiff as a board!" Mina statd harshly before moving on to Midoriya.

'How do I do this...?' she thought to herself.

"Come on Aiko! It isn't all that hard!" Haru said as he did the dance moves flawlessly. 

Aiko chuckled and said, "Y'know, you're a surprisingly good dancer, Haru."

Haru smiled smugly and did a fake hair flip. "I know, I'm amazing."

"Wait, Haru can DANCE???" Mina asked, rushing up to Aiko.

Aiko nodded and made herself and Mina incorporeal, allowing Mina to watch Haru dance. Mina gasped and started shaking Aiko back and forth like crazy, a new habit she seemed to have picked up recently. "HARU NEEDS TO DANCE FOR US ASAP!!!" she exclaimed.

"How though? I'm the only one who can see him. The only way others can see him is if I'm touching them while incorporeal, or if he's using enough energy to make an apparition," Aiko pointed out.

"What if he possesses you?" Mina asked.

Aiko thought about it. 'It would get me out of dancing,' she thought before Midoriya butted in. "But then Gessei wouldn't be able to dance. That wouldn't be fair to her."

'You jerk,' she thought.

"I mean, it wouldn't be impossible for me to hold the apparition for the length of the song. I could dance with you guys if that's okay," Haru said.

Aiko relayed what he had said and Mina squealed as the other dancers all nodded in agreement, some excited to be more involved with the mysterious ghost of Class A. Everyone gets to work, Mina tweaking the routine just a bit to include Haru. They eventually moved their rehearsal outside so they could have some fresh air and wind to cool them off as they worked. 

But then, a small voice is heard from behind. Aiko and Midoriya turn around to see Eri standing there in the cutest little red dress. "Eri!" Aiko exclaimed with a bright smile, walking toward her before her eyes landed on her cousin's butt, which was sticking out of a bush. 

Everyone drew their attention toward Eri as Aiko ran over and knelt beside her. "Is it okay if I give you a hug?" she asked.

Eri hesitated, looking back at Aizawa, who was behind her and gave her an encouraging nod, and nodded herself. Aiko smiled brightly and gently wrapped her arms around Eri. 'It's like when she was saving me... but warmer...' Eri thought to herself as her little arms wrapped around Aiko's back. "It's good to see you, I'm glad you're feeling better!" Aiko said happily as she pulled away from the hug.

"Hi Eri! My name's Kirishima, we haven't met, but I'm one of the heroes who helped save you!" Kirishima said with a bright smile as he slid in. 

"Oh my gosh this is the girl you saved?! She's so CUTE!" Mina exclaimed.

Midoriya knelt down and said a greeting as Aiko stood and asked Aizawa, "What's she doing here so soon? The festival isn't for another couple weeks."

"Principal Nezu figured it would be a good idea to get her used to the environment so she won't be overwhelmed during the festival," Aizawa explained. 

"Yep! And since I'm currently taking a break from school, I'm her guide!" Mirio said with a bright smile.

Aiko smiled and looked down at Eri, who was looking at her with anticipation, likely because she, Mirio, Midoriya, and Aizawa were the only ones here she knew she could trust. "Do you want us to come with you to show you around the school?" Aiko asked.
