~~~{Nosido Heraki}~~~

It's been at least four weeks since I was kidnapped, and I am still mentally scarred. I haven't let that stop me. I am going to become a hero, and those villains won't stop me. The past few weeks have been quite busy in class, we had to speed up a bit to deal with us missing that weak of school for the teachers to help search for me. Not only that, but I requested from Todoroki-Sensei to start training me every day of the week. He was reluctant at first, but I convinced him, mostly using my kidnapping as a reason.

Ever since then we have trained every day of every week, getting harder and harder with every training session. But the daily trainings only lasted for two week since he didn't want to push me too hard. So I then decided to do personal training when I had the chance. Doing lots of meditating and a bit of bodybuilding. Compared to before my kidnapping, it's noticeable too if you actually compared my body to how I used to look. My body had built up more muscle, and I felt I wasn't as much of a push over.

As for everyone seeing me back at school, they all seemed relieved and happy to see me. It was actually nice to see that so many people were worried for me. I made sure to tell everyone that I was okay, but for awhile that was far from the truth. I couldn't shake the nightmares about that week until recently, and finding out my father was murdered whilst I was kidnapped? It almost broke me, but I didn't let it do so. Instead I pledged to my dad that I would become one of the greatest heroes, and find who had killed him. My mother is still grieving, so when I have the chance I go to visit her. UA was kind enough to provide her housing near the campus since I was a student.

But that's enough about the past couple of weeks, let's get back to the now.

It was an early morning, I was in my bedroom meditating. Meditating has helped me alot with getting rid of my nightmares, and I still do it to make sure they stay away. I heard a knock at my door, so swiftly I got up off of the floor and opened the door. Suraki was standing there with a slight smile.

"Morning Nosido, good to see you up so early." He looked at me up and down, noticing I was still dressed in my pajamas. He brought his hand up and flicked me on the nose. "Get dressed already, I wanted to walk with you to class today."

I chuckled softly, rubbing my nose where he flicked and shaking my head. "Fiiine, I suppose I can get dressed." I put my finger up to signify to give me a moment as I shut the door. Heading to my closet and changing into the school uniform, I decided to leave the blazer off though since it was a nice day out. But then I groaned softly when it came to putting on the tie, so I opened the door again and looked at Suraki. "You ming helping me with my tie? I have no idea how to..well... Tie one."

He looked at me with a strange face for a few moments, but soon he chuckled and took hold of the tie. Pulling me a little closer in a playful way and starting to get to work. "All these years and you never bothered to learn how to tie one?"

"I-I never thought of it, okay!" I blushed, a bit embarrassed about it now as I looked away from him, this only made him chuckle again as he finished tying. But when he did, he was looking me up and down curiously. "I don't think that style fits you... Let me try something."

"Um... Okay?" He undid the generic tie style he did, and began to work on a different style. It took a few minutes but when he was finally done, he seemed satisfied.

"Alright... Tell me what you think." He pulled his phone out, turning on the selfie camera and handing it to me. I raised the camera enough to I could get a shot of my lower neck and up, the tie was in the style of a ribbon. It looked quite nice with the red color the school chose. I smiled slightly and nodded.

"It looks great!" I handed his phone back to him, and stepped out of my bedroom. Taking a few seconds to stretch before taking his hand into mine as we began to walk down and through the common room, everything was fine until Yurin had stopped us. He stood in front of the doors that lead out of the dorm building. Looking away from us, Suraki didn't waste much time to move me behind him to protect me.
