My Hero Academia: The Next Generation Book 2

Chapter 16: Why?

We were cuddled for maybe twenty minutes or so before I got out of bed, I cracked my back and leaned back a bit to look at Suraki behind me with my head bent back as far as I could.

"I'm gonna go get a snack and maybe head to my room for a bit. I wanted to get some homework done."

"Aww, so soon?" Suraki chuckled, turning over on his side in bed to look at me. "Alright, we can hang out a bit later then if you wanna catch up on that stuff. I'll probably just nap then." I smiled at Suraki and nodded, stepping out of his room and heading downstairs to grab some grapes or something for a study snack. In the kitchen I saw who seemed to be Momo Yaoyorozu, which was kind of a surprise since I hadn't seen her since U.S.J. Granted that wasn't too long ago but it was still neat. I greeted her kindly before grabbing a case of strawberries from the fridge and heading back up the stairs towards my room. On my way up to my floor I saw Zota coming out of his room, I had to pass by his door to reach my room down the hall, but once I got close he nearly ran into me when he turned around. I was quick to take a small hop-step back.

"Oh, my bad bro." Zota was fiddling with a speaker in his hand before he glanced up, noticing it was me standing there. "Oh, hey. Wanna come hang out with Sakura and I? She is doing her hair right now."

I looked at Zota for a second in thought, before I then shrugged my shoulders. "I don't see why not... Will Hagita be there?" My eyes quickly darted to Zota's, I really didn't want to deal with Hagita today... But then again, Sakura and Zota need my help. I watched as Zota soon nodded his head.

"Yeah, but he isn't right now. I don't know where he is, I want to keep him away from Sakura though, at least for today so he doesn't play with her mind. I want her to remember today, and I want her to know we all had a good time together."

"I get that, but, what exactly do we do about Hagita?"

"I don't know. If we need to fight, we'll fight. Her safety is all that matters to me." I let out a soft sigh that Zota didn't hear. I can understand that he likes her so much, but he's throwing away his own safety and partially throwing away mine just for her... It's not in my place to say, but maybe I should talk him into toning down about this a bit... Before I realised it, Zota was already starting to walk towards the stairs so I had to jog slightly to get back by his side. With that, we went downstairs to the kitchen where Momo, Sakura, and some stranger that seemed to be the one doing Sakura's hair was.

Sakura turns to look at us, a smile on her lips. "Hi guys, just in time. Get some tunes going, and watch the magic." I could tell that she was pretty excited, it was nice to see her smiling normally and not seeing the twisted one she gave me when breaking my nose and knocking me out... I really need to get stronger.

I watched Zota set the speaker down on the kitchen counter and press the power button, a small ding sound being heard to signify that it's on. He had his back facing me while plugging his phone into the speaker with an aux cord.

"Nosido, you have great taste in music, play something for us, be our D.J.?" Zota turned around with his phone, holding it out for me to take.

"Uh... Sure I guess." I took the phone from Zota, looking around the room a little to make sure Hagita wasn't there before looking back at Sakura. "Any music preference, Sakura?" Sakura shook her head.

"Just something I can sing to."

"You got it." I smiled a little, going to the youtube app on Zota's phone and picking out a rock style song from a show I used to watch. Maybe Sakura will know the song.

"What's going on here?" I heard a tired voice speak out mid yawn, but it was a voice I knew too well. I felt a shiver go down my spine as I slowly looked over my shoulder to see Hagita, he was rubbing his eyes with one hand and his belly with the other. Which looked kinda funny to be honest.

"I'm doing my hair, Hagita." He nodded slightly, stepping over to Sakura and sitting on a stool beside her.

"Right, keep forgetting about that." I was staring at Hagita, starting to feel very uncomfortable now that he was here. I wanted to just run out of the kitchen and up to my room, and to be honest. I was about to until I heard Zota say something that made me regret coming to hang out.

"Hagita, can Nosido and I see you outside, please? Like, outside, outside." I snapped my gaze over to Zota, starting to feel extremely nervous as I tried to protest.

"W-What? We're doing this right now?" Zota completely ignored me, probably not even hearing what I said, Hagita pushed himself up from the stool and glared at the two of us with suspicion

"What for?"

"Just a few things that Nosido and I would like to ask." I stared at Hagita, his gaze actually softening a bit from the suspicious glare to a more normal look.

"Fine." He shrugged his shoulders as he stepped out of the kitchen and towards the front doors. And I was forced to follow because of Zota dragging me into his request... Why Zota? I wanted to have a normal day...
