Wearing a scarf was against the uniform guidelines, so I wore a bandage on the mark and told people I got hurt when fighting with my brother. The only one that new the truth was Bakugo, and he kept my secret.

I noticed that he was trying to get me alone, but I avoided him. I wasn't in the right mindset to explain what happened.

"Are you going to your work studies tonight Ryoko?" Ochaco asked.

I shook my head, "My brother wanted me to take a break from the fight yesterday. Then it's back to work."

"Lucky! I have to go to my work studies tonight." She sighed.

~~~

After school, we were a smaller group because of the students who went to their work studies. I decided to relax with Momo, Mina, Jirou and Hagakure. We were playing cards when we were interrupted.

"I need to talk to you." Bakugo came up to me.

I left the game and followed him to his room. We sat on his bed awkwardly and I waited for him to speak.

"What happened?" This time, he was more calm and rational.

"I got attacked Bakugo, my mission was to get information out of someone. That someone always got what they wanted." I tell him.

I ripped off the bandage to show teeth marks and a disgusting bruise. At first, he looked shocked. Then, he looked like he wanted to hurt somebody.

"I'm going to kill that dumb ass." He growled.

"Don't worry, my brother dealt with him already. I just hope this goes away soon." I sighed.

Then, he did something unexpected. He hugged me. I let myself go, I cried and cried and cried. He just held me close to him and ran his fingers through my hair. His touch and warmth comforted me. He made me feel safe. That's when I realized, I needed him too.

~~~

The day after, Bakugo made more of an attempt to talk to me and I hung out with his friends. This was what the month together was supposed to feel like, what my relationship should've been with Bakugo. Even if he isn't the most smiley person or the most expressive, I knew deep down I had strong feelings for him. I wanted to be his again. I planned to tell him how I felt after my work studies.

"Hey Bakugo, after work can I talk to you?" I asked.

His face showed shock and then he blushed, "Sure idiot."

~~~

"Today, just focus on minor crime groups. There are going to be a lot of dangerous villains here, be careful." My brother warned me before making me change into another black dress.

How dangerous were these men? As people filled in, that's when I saw the main guests of the night.

The League of Villains.

My body froze when I saw them. My brother noticed and shook me back to my senses.

"Avoid them Ryoko, they probably figured out your affiliation with U.A. Stay clear of them, and you'll be fine." My brother advised me before we walked down the main stairs together towards the dance floor.

I forced my fears away and danced to the music. I casually spoke with some minor villains and crime families and got as much insight as possible. I kept mental notes for later and started to think about my report. After sitting in the bar talking to a sixty year old man, I went back to the dance floor.

I was waiting for my next prey, when I became the prey.

"So you're the infamous white dragon." I hear a deep voice say behind me.

I turn to see it was no other, than Dabi. My body wanted to freeze but I forced myself to keep in control.

"Yes, and you're the infamous Dabi. I've heard of your work." I replied, trying to keep my cover up.

I was staggered when he actually pulled me closer to his body, "You have, haven't you?" Then, he showed his magnificent blue flames.

"Oh, we aren't allowed to use our quirks in the club." I tried to make him stop.

He chuckled, "I think I'm an exception."

Then, I felt a hand go to my neck, "You're going to come with us, or else I'm going to destroy this little neck of yours." I hear Shigaraki's voice behind me.

Before my brother's henchmen could attack, Dabi sent his flames and burned them. Soon after, a warp gate appeared and they dragged me through.

The last thing I saw, was my brother's panicked face.

~~~

Bakugo was waiting for Tanaka at their spot. He took a blast to the past, rethinking his relationship with the white dragon. How he liked her strength, both mentally and physically. Her professionalism and her spirit. He was awed by her beauty, her red hair and amazing figure. He liked holding her, and kissing her soft lips. He loved her.

He realized he loved her.

Bakugo wanted to be in her life more. He wanted to be a better person for her. He wanted to become someone she could be proud of. He wanted her to rely on him and have a future with her. He needed her in his life.

He got excited when he saw a black car pull up in front of the dormitories, but Tanaka didn't come out. It was three men in suits. They were running towards the dorms and stormed in. I followed right after.

"Tanaka Ryoko has been captured by the League of Villains. Mr. Tanaka believes it is because of her connection to the U.A hero course," The head man said to Aizawa. The whole room was silent, "He advises for everyone to stay on campus until she is retrieved. We have been posted here to protect the students."

"Very well." Aizawa said.

~~~

"Get me into your dad's agency." Bakugo demanded Todoroki.

"He's pretty full already." Todoroki mentioned.

"You will get me in or else I will give you more scars to match your eye!" Bakugo yelled as he was enraged.

Tanaka is gone, Tanaka is gone, Bakugo repeated in his head. He needed to tell her how he felt, he needed to confess to her. He needed her to be his.

Todoroki sighed, "I can try, but I can't make promises."

"Good! I'm stronger than you anyways icy hot, there's no reason he could say no." Bakugo became cocky before he stormed into his room.

Bakugo punched the punching bag that he borrowed from Kirishima, but it wasn't enough to control his emotions. He needed Tanaka, but she's gone. The only person he ever wanted.

Was gone.
