"Thanks, Shoto." I smiled, grabbing onto his hand and locking our fingers together, closing my eyes as I felt a soft peck on the top of my head. "Anytime."

As I leaned on his shoulder slowly drifting to sleep, with the bus running over bumps over the road occasionally lulling me, I could hear Mrs. Todoroki's words in my head again, the words that I have promised to keep.

"Stay with him, you really do mean a lot to him."

A soft nudging came from beside me, making me stir and nuzzle my head further into my pillow. 

Only, it wasn't my pillow. It was hard and covered with fabric. 

"Shiro, we have to get off the bus." A voice whispered, sounding soft and male as I gave a quiet groan, opening my eyes eventually to see the back of a seat. 

Lifting my head, I blinked a couple more times into focus, turning to see Todoroki still sitting beside me watching with a gentle curl of his lips. I gave one back, noticing the rest of our classmates also getting off the bus. 

The both of us got out as well, standing by a stop by the side of the road, overlooking a whole forested area and a valley of mountains in front of us. 

"What are we doing here?" I asked, seeing all the confused faces of my friends, then looked at Todoroki who shrugged as well. 

"Heya, Eraser!" A female voice called, my eyes snapping up to where a woman in a catlike costume stood. 

"Rock on with these sparkling gazes!-" Raising an eyebrow, I shared a glance with Todoroki, both of us just as confused and weirded out. "-Stingingly cute and catlike!"

"We're the Wild, Wild Pussycats!"

Two women, dressed in two pieced outfits and matching cat-ear head pieces were in front of us. Both of them posing in dramatic ways as they stood there. They even had cat tails and large paws on. 

"These are the Pro Heroes who'll be helping us out this time. The Pussycats." Aizawa said, gesturing to the two women, Midoriya rambling on about how much he knew about them until the one in blue stopped him by covering his mouth. 

"This whole area here is our territory! Your lodging is at the foot of the mountain over there!" The other one -who was named Mandalay- pointed towards where the large scenery of green was, specifically to the mountain across from the forest.

A nervous atmosphere began to surround the class, questioning and mumbling as to why we had even stopped here if our proper stop should be further.

The second class was nowhere in sight, too. It was only our class, Aizawa and the two members of The Pussycats. If this was just a pit-stop for us to rest, then those two would have no need to even come and greet us. We wouldn't have had to have every single one of us get off the bus if this were just a small stop.
