The Phoenix {A BNHA Fan Story}

Chapter Ten: Uraraka

Classes were cancelled the next day.

She was glad for it, since she hadn't gotten much sleep the previous night again. This time however, it was due to the constant stream of texts and calls she got. Her mother was the first. The incident at the USJ had been quickly televised so she had heard about it before Soraka got the chance to tell her. She could recall the panic in her mothers voice. It wasn't surprising, but it took a while to calm her down.

Next it was texts from Shiozaki, who was more worried about whether she was okay mentally from the incident. Soraka assured the girl she was fine, it was much easier to convince her.

Soraka used her free day to just relax. Her mind had been in a sprint for the past few days, so she needed it. Besides, she needed her strength for tomorrow as well. She had already packed her things, save for a change of clothes and personal hygiene items.

The next morning her and Uraraka were texting back and forth constantly, making sure everything was ready. She only had two boxes and a suitcase, so they didn't bother to get a vehicle.

Uraraka showed up with a small red wagon before noon.

"Good morning! Hope I'm not too early or anything." Her face was beaming, she seemed just as excited about having someone to live with.

Soraka shook her head in dismissal, placing a box into the wagon while the other girl went to get the second one.

"No you're fine. This is actually perfect timing, I figured we could go and get lunch afterward."

"Oh yeah sure! There's a vendor not too far away from the place."

Soraka checked around one last time to make certain that she didn't leave anything. Satisfied with her check, she grabbed her suitcase and led Uraraka back down to the lobby where she checked out.

The streets were empty save for a few stragglers.

"Huh, that's weird," Uraraka spoke, "this street was crowded when I came in."

Soraka shrugged with a little 'I don't know' hum. "Maybe there's a villain? People usually either run to avoid it or go to watch the heroes." Uraraka nodded in agreement before taking the lead.

Sure enough, as they crossed an intersection, there was a crowd of people and a villain down the street. It wasn't in their direction so they wouldn't have to worry about it.

"I wonder who the heroes are." Uraraka seemed to try and walk on her toes for a moment to see.

"I'm sure it'll be on the news later."

The two made it to the apartment in no time and luckily with no unexpected stops. They set Soraka's belongings into what would be her room. She was given her own key and Uraraka let her check things out momentarily. Hunger was starting to set in on the girl.

It was just as big as the hotel room she had been in. There was an actual fridge and a gas stove, along with a large empty space on the wall where a tv would sit.

The place was empty of all decoration and the colors on the wall seemed old and faded.

"We're gonna have to reserve a day to make this place a little more homey, huh?" Soraka smiled over at Uraraka, gesturing to the walls and receiving a nod in response.

Soraka spent the next while emptying her boxes and setting things in their proper place.

"So.." Uraraka said, coming to rest against the doorframe. "This is usually around the time that the sports festival occurs. Do you think they're going to do it still? You know since the attack and everything just happened." The girl looked concerned about the event.

"I don't see why not. I haven't actually ever watched it, so this should be a fun experience for me." Well, even if the others had seen it, she was sure they would have fun as well.

"You aren't worried about another attack? Or even if we have to fight each other?"

Soraka tilted her head slightly. "If it's a public event then there'll be a lot of pro heroes. A villain would be suicidal to attack." She stood from her place on the floor next to an almost empty box. "And if anything, shouldn't we be excited if we get to fight each other?"

Uraraka was now the one to look confused. "We don't know any of the other classes quirks."

"So? When you become a pro, is the villain just going to tell you their quirk before fighting you?"

Uraraka sighed and nodded. "Yeah I guess you're right. If that's the case, and we end up fighting each other, no hard feelings?"

Soraka smiled and held out a hand to her. "Of course not. And that goes for everyone else in our class."

Uraraka took her hand, gave a quick shake, and left her to finish unpacking. They went to eat afterwards and spent the rest of the day relaxing, preparing for what was to come in the next week.

A/N: Sorry for the short chapter! I kinda stopped writing over the summer BUT I've got so many ideas for this story and another one that will soon be released! I've already got a few chapters of it written!
