"You wanted to see me, master?"

"Ah yes, Ishimori. I wanted you to meet your new partner. This is Akiko Izanagi, but she goes by the name 'The Wolf'."

"So this is who I'm working with? He doesn't look like anything special," The woman said.

"I bet one touch would make you change your mind. So, 'The Wolf', why don't you explain your quirk to me. Then I'll consider your help," Ishimori Explained.

"Quite simple, really. My fingernails are as sharp as daggers and can extend up to five inches. They're naturally red and look cute, and they can't be broken unless you use extreme force too. Match that with my speed and I can't be stopped," Akiko explained.

"A viable option. I can use you for something special."

"Now explain to me your quirk so I can see if you're worth my time."

"Well now, you'll just have to wait and see on that one," Ishimori said smiling and walking out of the room.

The sun shone from outside my window, waking me up from my sleep. The first thing that came to mind was that I was still wearing Deku's hoodie. I smiled, as it felt like he was embracing me which made me blush slightly. Checking the time, it was around 9 in the morning and I felt really refreshed due to the sleep I just had.

I got changed into some pants and a t-shirt, whilst putting my clothes and items in the washer and dryer. I messaged Deku asking him if he wanted to do anything today, but he didn't respond so I assumed he was asleep or busy. He'd probably get back with me later.

My parents were in the kitchen, with my mom enjoying her coffee and my dad reading the newspaper. I said hello to them before getting a bowl and some cereal for breakfast. I took the seat next to my mom at the table and began eating.

"Any plans today, sweetie? Hanging out with friends?" My mother asked. She probably asked due to me being dressed early.

"I dunno yet. I'm waiting to see if Deku would like to today" I responded, earning a look from my mom.

"Deku again, huh? You seem to bee hanging with him a lot lately. Is there anything you wanna tell us?" My mother asked me, raising her eyebrow.

"N-no it isn't like that! Y-you see Iida's outta town s-so yeah! It's nothing like that, mom! We just didn't have plans this weekend so we decided to hang out!" I explained. I sounded nervous and was blushing I could tell.

"If you say so, sweetie. I'm sure he was the one who let you borrow that hoodie, right? Sounds like he might have a little crush on you," She said, winking this time.

"A boy? Crushing on my daughter? I surely hope not," My dad said, joining the conversation.

"He let me borrow it cause it was cold and I didn't wanna walk home in the cold. That's it I promise!" I told them. My face had to be beet red.

"Calm down, Ochako. We're only teasing you. Anyways, would you mind picking up some milk from the store? I know you used the rest," She said to me.

"Yeah, I can do that here once I'm done," I told her.

Once I finished eating breakfast, my mother handed me the money. I got ready, slipping on my shoes and Deku's hoodie, and left for the corner market down the street. I felt in a much better mood today, possibly due to the sleep I was able to get. It only took a few minutes, and I arrived at the market and bought the milk my mom sent me to get.
