......

Mitzu's eyes widened, thrown over her knee before he could react. A smile came over his face, rather an anger. "You're right." He grinned, quickly getting back up. Unaware of her next move, he decided to take it slower.

Erin's stamina had been low due to the large blasts of light energy earlier, resorting to her shadow side. Her once white glowing aura began to fade. Her eyes were black once again, shadows from the corners of the room creeping up to her hands. It was like she could breathe again, the shadows surrounding her hands. The room darkened softly, not too much of a difference.

Aramitzu stood there, a giant grin on his face. Proudly, he ran at her again to engage in another hand-to-hand fight. Erin grinned excitedly, never have sparring with her shadows. As Sensei got closer, her hands shut up instinctively. She threw a punch at the air, before her opponent could reach her. A gust of dark compressed energy flew from behind her. It was enough to make her opponent stumble backwards, and for her to kick his feet out from underneath him.

The shadows that had attacked slowly retracted, returning to her opened hands. Erin looked down at her hands, a widened smile on her face. During her distraction, Aramitzu went speeding past her. Before she could process it, she was slammed against the wall, him already distanced himself. A groan escaped her lips, as she shook her head. Focusing her attention back to her opponent, who was rushing back already.

Without having time to react, she stood there unharmed. Confused, she snapped out of her thoughts. In front of her was a small barrier of both dark matter and light energy intertwined together. Her eyes widened out of confusion. "I've never done that before-" She whispered in awe. Her opponent was also taken off guard, so she took it to her advantage.

She rushed through her own little barrier, as it faded away like dust. Landing a good punch on her opponent, he grabbed her hands into a lock. Focusing herself, her hands burst with another beam of energy. This made him let her go, stunned for a moment. Her eyes were lit up, more than she'd ever been. The power she radiated felt good.

"That's not even your full potential." Mitzu smiled, a proud energy radiating off of him. His distraction was enough for him to activate his quirk, sending shards of concrete at her from the wall. Her eyes widened as the shards pierced into her back, a cry escaping her mouth. "Fuck-" Erin growled to herself, keeping her balance pretty decent.

She had no chance against him, even at full potential. That's when she started to analyze his movements. Ever since the beginning of the match, his hands had stayed behind his back. The only time they weren't is when he hadn't been using his quirk, and that's when it clicked. "Aha! I'm so dumb!" She facepalmed herself, swirling her finger in the air. Shadows from her palms had went flying over to his hands, incasing them.

Aramitzu didn't flinch, knowing she still had to separate his hands. She slowly began walking towards him, causing him to use his quirk again. The remanding pieces of brick and cement went flying at her. Once it reached her form, it zipped through her as it disappeared into dust. "Hey!" Erin said excitedly, being behind him. She grabbed a hold of his hands, separating them before the shards had gotten to his own chest.

"Well done, Erin." Mitzu complimented humbly, bowing his head which she returned. Their match had ended. She had won, barely. She smiled to him, holding her thumbs up awkwardly.

"I'm gonnauhh sleep now-" She drifted off from her sentence, exhaustion falling over her suddenly. She started to fall backwards, the shadowy mist catching her, slowly lowering her to the ground.

Todoroki jumped up instantly running towards her. He had been speechless the whole time, all of that flying over his head. She practically passed out, and that's what mattered to him then. Just before he got to her, the shadows stopped him like a wall. The misty form changed it's shape into a person-like outline holding a thumbs up. Tilting his head, he backed up gently as he got up. The form looked like it sighed, though no noise was made. It's form changed again, spelling out the words. "Fine, let her rest."

Swallowing harshly, Shouto nodded. "I-uh-Can I move her somewhere else? What's the best area for her to recover in?" He asked the black mist. Transforming from it's normal state of a normal shadow, it spelled out. "Darkness." Todoroki nodded with confusion, looking over at Aramitzu. Sensei shook his head yes, walking over to the light switch. It turned off, and the shadows disappeared next to Erin. Carefully, he knelt down to her. The shadow still barely visible. Instead of mist like it was before, it looked like an actual shadow. It disappeared completely a few moments later, as Shouto gently put Erin's head on his lap. His hands played with her ice-white hair softly.

Aramitzu came over to the teenagers, sitting next to Todoroki. He grinned softly down at her. "She deserves to be able to use her full quirk. I've never seen her so happy-not even after beating Bakugou in class today." Shouto joked quietly, not wanting to disturb the natural peace.

"You know, you're no different. I know you don't want to, but you should try using your other half sometime. Maybe not with your father, but on your own time. Just, grow comfortable with it. It's yours, afterall." Aramitzu spoke gently, a yawn escaping his mouth. He looked at the time, his fire red eyes gleaming. "My soulmate is off of work now. I'm going to head home to spend time him." Mitzu smiled wholeheartedly. "Take care of her, alright? Take care, Shouto." He called, walking out of the room.

"Have a good night, Mitzu!"
