My Hero Shippūden

Chapter 24

"Woah! So that's your hero's license?" Naruto gasped in awe, "That's so cool!"

  "Why do you need a hero license anyways? Can't you just graduate?" Sakura asked.

  "Oh...well you see we can't, it's against the law to use quirks in public. Especially if we hurt someone with it." Uraraka answered.

  "Even if it's a criminal? That's weird..." Naruto slumped over the arm of the couch with a confused expression.

  "But this means that you're a registered hero now right? So you can go out and work as a pro?" Sakura leaned toward Midoriya who held his license close in his hand.

  "Yeah!" Midoriya smiled brightly, his eyes sparkling in the dim lighting.

  Everyone had just come to the dorms from the hero licensing exam, some were so exhausted they left for their rooms immediately, although some of class 1-A stayed in the lobby with Sakura and Naruto. Bakugou and Todoroki left to their rooms without a word spoken. Sasuke was nowhere to be seen.

  "How do you have so much energy...?" Kaminari groaned as he strung himself lazily on a chair. "I think I'm gonna go...I'm so tired..." The blonde slumped away toward the dorm rooms.

  "That test must've been difficult, shouldn't you be going to bed too Midoriya?"

"Oh yeah I should do that." Midoriya rubbed the back of his neck, "Now that I think about it I do feel pretty tired...I have to look into hero organizations too."

  "Wait, when do you guys sleep?" Jirou perked up.

  "Yeah now that I think about it I've never seen you sleep or go into your rooms before us. Other than Sasuke, although I don't think he's the type to sleep constantly..." Sero mentioned.

  "Errrr... well we're older than you so we sleep later."

  "Y-you're only a year or two older than us t-though." Midoriya mumbled.

  "Do you guys sleep when we're gone then?" Sero cocked his head to one side.

  "We don't need to sleep as much as you." Sasuke's voice popped up in the main room suddenly.

  "GAH!" Naruto jumped, falling off the couch's arm rest.

  "You get scared too easily, Naruto." Sasuke sighed and sat down on the couch, propping up his head with his fist.

  "It's not my fault you just show up whenever you want..." Naruto grumbled as he climbed back up to his original position.

  "Where have you been Sasuke? I haven't seen you since the class arrived." Sakura inquired.

  Sasuke looked away dismissively, "I've been in my room, nothing interesting was happening."

  "Gahhh, maybe something interesting would happen if you weren't in your room." Naruto muttered.

  "Are you my mom now?" Sasuke sighed again and sank into the couch, closing his eyes and letting his thoughts wander... Leading to him thinking about a previous encounter...

"Sasuke."Aizawa called out to Sasuke in the empty hallway, his voice low.

  Sasuke looked behind him and toward the teacher with his cold expression. With an eyebrow raised he replied, "Yes?"

Aizawa narrowed his eyes, for a moment he rethought his plan. He needed to find out the truth for the safety of his students. He trusted Kakashi's explanation of course, but he knew from experience as a hero that there are always more sides to a story. Aizawa needed to confirm this for himself.
