I opened my eyes, squinting at what I recall was the ceiling, I sighed rolled around on my side until I realized something. THIS WASN'T MY OWN BED! I screamed and fell off the comfy matress, hitting my butt hard, I held my butt as I endure the pain. 'Where am I? Whats going on?' I try to recall on what had happened and how I got here, but I couldn't remember anything. There was a small knock on the door, "are you alright in there?" A gentle voice called out. I didn't answer, I was in too much shock to know what was going on. "I'm coming in" they said and opened the door, and in came... a Snake man.

Snake man (Todoroki's pov)
While I was cleaning thr halls I heard a loud "thud" like sound. 'He must be awake' I slithered towards the room where we kept our prize (in this case: Midoriya), as I was about to open. The door I remembered my manners. I knocked lightly, "are you alright In there?" I waited... no answer, "i'm coming in" as I slithered in there he was on the ground holding his bottom, he quickly got up back on the bed and cornered himself. "Whats the matter?" I waited... no response. "I heard some noise in here, do you think it was another Ayakashi?" (Ayakashi can also mean monster or ghost) He jumped a bit hearing that word, it made me giggle just a bit. 'He must be scared again...'
I lower myself into a- what seemed like kneeling position, I reached out my hand gesturing him to come closer, "come here, its okay." A moment or two went by and he slowly made it off the bed and took my hand. "Its... cold..."
"Ah, well, that's because i'm a snake Ayakashi." He jumped back a bit, "a-a good Ayakashi." He slowly crawled back towards me. We sat there for some time, I never really got the time to notice how his hair was so... green. Its that kind of green that you would see in a forest, or even the sea weed underwater, or maybe in a long grassy land area. But what I wanted to see most was his eyes... the same as that pleaded for my help and rescue. I contained myself from looking at him anymore and stood back up, "breakfast is waiting for you."
"Breakfast..?" He cocked his head to the side. 'Maybe we did the spell a little more over the top than we intended to...'
"What's your name?" I asked helping him stand up.
"Huh?"
"Your name."
"Uh... Izuku Midoriya?"
"You say that like its a question."
He shook his head, "N-no, my names Izuku Midoriya!"
'At least he remembers his name.'
I sigh, "follow me."
We head into the lounge, and there he is... Cranky Flower-sucker (Bakugo) right next to the food.

The nice Snake Ayakashi lead me to a big room with lots of lanterns al around the ceiling, the floor was red along with the table cloth that was red as well. I would've like to ask what the Snake Ayakashi's name was, but he just moved along so I didn't say anything. As we went further in I saw another person, 'who's that? Another Ayakashi?' He was next to some food, food that looked good. I slightly drooled, but quickly wiped it away. "You'll sit here and eat." The Snake Ayakashi said as he sat me down by the table. "Eat?" I questioned, to me, why was that important?
"Take these..." he grabbed two sticks (chopsticks)  picked up a yellow looking thing (an egg), "...pick up the food..." he brought the yellow thing closer to his mouth, "...and eat it."
Oh... eating! How could I possibly forget that!? I took the stick things from his hands and copied exactly what he did and ate it, the flavor was soo good, nothing like I've ever tasted before!- well, at least I think...?

His eyes sparkled as he ate the rolled egg. "Soo good!"
"Good, now keep doing that until you feel the need to stop."
"Okay!" He continued to chomp
Never have I ever seen him so happy just by eating. "Tch" I heard and lifted my head up, "what is it?"
"We have a guest coming in y'know. " Bakugo looked at some lanterns.
"Ah, that's right, that ice woman, was it?"
"Yeah, that's her, she'll be here around noon for you know what." He said as  some butterflies flying right off of him.
"Who exactly are you two?"
Our attention was brought back to the Midoriya, "forgive me for my bad manners, I'm Shoto Todoroki." He nodded and turned his focus on Bakugo. "The names Katsuki Bakugo, dont you dare forget it, you low life." Luckily, Midoriya only understood his name and not the insult, so he only nodded. "So what kind of Ayakashi are you supposed to be?" He asked still eating his food
"Why do you have soo many questions!?" He yelled, and Midoriya giggled.
'Huh, its just like a little kid and a parent...' I thought
"What are you looking at, Lizzard brain!?"
"Clearly, i'm looking at you."
I small giggle was heard, then it slowly turned into laughter.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!" I laughed and shed a tear, "you guys are really funny!" I calmed myself down
"Tch" Bakugo said and walked away.
"Dont mind him, he's always like that." Todoroki said, "i'm going to go get a room prepared, you stay here and continue to eat, okay?"
I nodded and continued to eat. I was all alone, now. With nothing to do, I had eaten all of my food that was given for me and now I sit here waiting for one of the two to come back to me. "Maybe i'll go explore!" I said and hopped out of big room with lanterns all around. As I walked I saw pictures of all sorts(he means paintings), pretty ones, sad ones, confusing ones, etc. until this particular one caught my eye. Unlike the other pictures I saw, this one was... colorful! It reminded me of a place, why does it though?
I out my hand up against the picture and then "B A M!" 

=[>¤<]=
"What are you doing?", A voice called out, "that's something a child would do." The figure with red eyes came closer to my side as it looked at the picture.
"No, silly!  Anyone can paint!"
"Whats the use of painting anyway?"
"Why don't you just try it then?" A stick with some fuzz was handed to the figure.
"Fine! But its not like I ever wanted to do this anyways!" It took the brush
"Hahaha, your so silly..."

=[>¤<]=

I then snapped out of it. 'What was that? Was that...me?' I slowly lifted my hand off the painting and gazed at it. "E-excuse me, um... sir?" I turned around to see a woman with a white and blue hood behind me, i guess I never realised I was close to the entrance. "I know i'm a bit early, but, could I possibly be escorted to your lounge?" She took of her hood, her eyes were pale brown, her skin was white, but her hair was pure black and out up into a spiky ponytail, "I'm Momo Yaoyorozu, the ice woman."
"Oh---w-well... y-you see...I-i uh--!"
"My, look at that painting!" She stepped a little closer to me and stared at the picture.
"Painting?" I questioned
"Yes, my, would you look at how warm it is..!"
I looked back up at the painting, the nice mix of bright colors and dull colors as some blue colors were off to the side.
"Just looking at the grass being illuminated by the sun just warms my ice-cold heart..." she smiled, although I didn't quite understand what she was saying I could tell what she meant at the same time.
"Yeah." I said
"OI WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT HERE!?"
I jumped, "Bakugo!" He grabbed my hand and dragged me down the hallway, he stopped for a quick second, "I'll be right with you, Ice lady!" And continued on walking down the hallway.
