They'll Never Know

Chapter 16

Todoroki's POV

Todoroki used the key card he stole from Himiko to unlock Midoriya's dorm. The others wordlessly followed him as he walked into the room. 

"Someone close the door, we can't let anyone hear us." 

Kaminari shut the door behind him and the whole class sat in the stuffy, small room. Todoroki heard Uraraka gasp and he turned his head to her. She was holding up Midoriya's bloody dress shirt. 

"D-Deku-kun!" She sobbed and the whole class stared at the shirt in horror, their eyebrows tilted upwards. 

"What did those bastards do to him?..." Kirishima growled. 

"I believe they used some kind of portal to take Midoriya to their new hideout. Obviously, they wouldn't have the same hideout as before, they probably found a new one far away from here. We need to find it, and I think I know how." The others smiled at him, balling their fists. 

"Well, go on! Half and half bastard," Bakugou yelled. Todoroki knew it was faint, but there was a small smile gracing his cheeks. 

Todoroki inhaled. "Okay. Right now, the staff of UA are confronting the fake Midoriya. I want all of you to pretend that you believe the crap that Himiko says because if you do, the League of Villains won't suspect us to come after them. If we make it seem like we believe she is the true Midoriya, she won't have to move to plan B. Then, Uraraka, Iida, and I will go find the L.O.V.'s new hideout with All Might while you guys keep on the act. Once we find Midoriya, we will gather all the pro heroes and save the school and stop the villains."

"But how will you guys find the hideout?" Yaomomo asked, "Won't that be quite far from UA?" 

Todoroki placed a hand on his chin, thinking. "That's why we're bringing All Might. He could be helpful in finding their new hideout. We'll spend all our time searching." 

The others nodded along. Tokoyami stood up. "Todoroki, why don't you just wait for Himiko to come back to the dorm, while you hide in the closet or something to find out more clues?" 

Todoroki's eyes widened. That was a brilliant plan. "You're right, Tokoyami. I'll find somewhere to hide in here for the night and spy on Himiko. When I get more information, I'll gather Uraraka, Iida, and All Might and we'll go looking for their hideout then." 

He heard 'yes' from the group and everyone smiled. "We believe in you guys, Todoroki! We will find Midoriya if it's the last thing we do!!" Mina yelled. 

"Then let's set up everything. Everybody go back to class and I'll find somewhere in here to hide, okay?" 

"Hai!!" They yelled and left the dorm. 

Uraraka stopped and turned to look at Todoroki. 

"You're in love with him, huh?" 

Todoroki froze. Literally. 

"Um, Todoroki-kun?! You're frozen!" 

Todoroki quickly placed his left hand on his right arm and quickly unfroze himself. "L-Love who?..." Todoroki asked nervously. 

Uraraka held her hand up to her mouth and giggled. "Deku-kun, of course!" 

Todoroki fought the blush creeping up his cheeks. "What makes you say that, Uraraka?" 

She smiled slyly at him. "I can see it, Todoroki. You're not so good at hiding your feelings, you know." 

Todoroki sighed and looked away. "I...I thought you liked him though?" He heard her giggle again and Todoroki looked up at her. 

"Oh, Todoroki! We're just friends, it's okay," She said, "I actually shipped you and Deku-kun since the sports festival..." Todoroki's heterochromatic eyes widened. 

"Why?" 

"Because it's obvious you two like each other in that way. I gotta get to class, Todoroki-kun," she said softly, "Find a good spot to hide and...don't get caught, okay?" 

Todoroki looked into her amber eyes and nodded. She smiled and walked away, leaving Todoroki alone with his thoughts. 

'I can see it, Todoroki. You're not so good at hiding your feelings, you know.'  Todoroki sighed and sat on Midoriya's bed. Was I really being that obvious? And Uraraka said we both liked each other in that way. I wonder what that means... 

All of a sudden, the door handle jiggled. Todoroki shot up, running into the closet, burying himself deep in Midoriya's clothes. He felt something underneath his hand and lifted it up. It was Midoriya's underwear. 

Seriously?! He threw it on the ground beside him with a blush and heard the door slowly open. He peeked out from a small opening in the closet and stared at who was entering the room. Todoroki's stomach did a small flip as he saw Midoriya, but then he remembered that it was just Himiko. 

She closed the door behind her and walked towards the bed. She sat down and took something out of her pocket. Todoroki squinted as he tried to get a closer look. It was a small microphone and earpiece. He watched her put it on with increasing interest. "Hello, Shigaraki?" There it was. 

That one line was enough evidence for him.

Himiko's POV

It took about an hour of the stupid UA teachers to finish lecturing me. Apparently, I was being suspended for two weeks for hurting another student. It didn't matter to Himiko because in the end, she was going to get what she wanted anyway. She walked back to Midoriya's dorm. Once she was inside, she took out the earpiece and microphone to tell Shigaraki the news. 

"Hello, Shigaraki?" She asked in Midoriya's voice. 

"Ugh, Himiko. Go back to your true self, Midoriya's voice disgusts me," Shigaraki sighed. 

Himiko rolled her eyes, "Fine." 

She got up and felt the disguise melting off her body, revealing her true form. She sat back down. "Shigaraki, they suspended Midoriya. I'm coming to the hideout." 

Shigaraki laughed in delight. "Finally, the civilians will see how cruel even the heroes can be. I'll send Kurogiri over right now. In the meantime, don't leave any trace of evidence. We still have work to do. Does anybody suspect anything?" 

Himiko thought for a second. They all seemed to believe she was the real Midoriya...except for the half-cold half-hot boy. "Nope!" She lied. 

Shigaraki sighed in relief. "Good." 

With that, he ended the call. Himiko proceeded to clean up the slimy substance from her transformation with a towel. She jumped slightly when she heard a small bang in the room. 

"Huh?" Himiko looked around and her eyes locked on the closet. 

She narrowed her eyes, revealing a knife from her pocket. She slowly crept towards the closet door, whispering in a sickly sweet voice, "Who's in here?" 

And she threw open the closet door.
