"Ready on the left?" Midnight yelled, enthusiasm dripping from her words along with full seriousness.

Todoroki nodded.

"Ready on the right?"

"Indeed." I said, seriously.

"Then, let this match...BEGIN!" She jerked her hand through the air.

Immediately, Todoroki sent off a large scale attack. Nearly half of the arena was covered by great spikes of ice.

The crowd awaited my announcement of loss but, not quite. In a burr, even to me, I was perched atop the largest icicle yet still in the bounds.

I could feel my excitement growing. Adrenaline pumping through my veins. My eyes glowing. My body shaking. My tail waving through the air. My ears on high alert. My jacket had been ripped from my waist.

"My oh my! How'd she get all the way up there?!" The announcer said.

Todoroki looked stunned as he realized where I was.

This entire festival I've been put against long distance attackers. It would be great to get to do some hand to hand.

This will be my last battle, so I may as well get to do just that. I won't make it long but at least I'll get my kicks out of it.

I glided down the side of the icicle. Rapidly approaching Todoroki.

He sent off another wave of ice. Evading it, I propelled myself into the air.

I landed directly in front of him, mere inches from him.

I got low and aimed a kick to his stomach. He was sent backwards, almost out of bounds, but alast, he created an ice barrier behind himself.

Ready to react, I squatted to the ground.

He looked at me with a slightly angered expression.

Icy spikes had sent me back against the wall. Small gashes decorated my body. My shirt was shredded into pieces, along with my pants. I was hardly decent by the end of the battle.

Once he got me out from under him he was able to send off a variety of long distance attacks. I had my fun, I knew I wasn't going to win but, the thought of loosing bothered me. Just not being the best.

What would master think? He's going to be disappointed I lost, but maybe after the beating and how I looked after, he'll know I was no where near winning and not be quite as mad.

I didn't even bust out my quirk.

Two small robots floated out to my side holding a canopy. I don't think I could move without hurting my self more.

I wiggled around only to get pricked in my sides, and getting burns on my arms from the unforgiving cold.

I hissed in pain, my ears flattened and my tail quivered.

Out of the corner of my eye I could see Todoroki walking toward me.

He pulled me from the shelf on ice I was displayed on. He held me on his waist like a child, and it didn't help that I was the size of one.

"Put me down." I huffed as he looked back at me with a mildly confused stare.

"Can you walk?"

"I'm not a child!"

He let me down, I looked back at him and realized my head hardly reached his chest.

I wobbled a bit when I first moved, he tried to reach for me but I created a smoke screen. In one side was me but out of the other was my alternate form.

I could've walked there in human form but I didn't get to transform before so might as well milk it. Plus four legs is easier to balance on than two.

I arrived at the infirmary. RecoveryGirl greeted me and ushered me in, in human form.

She treated me and gave me another protein bar.

While waiting for her to get bandages for the cuts that couldn't be healed by her, I walked around the room. In another bed, behind a curtain I saw Izuku.

I rushed over to his side and placed my ear to his chest.

"Please don't be dead. Please don't be dead. Please don't be-"

"Ack! Pandora, what are you-?"

"Oh thank Tartarus! I thought you were dead!" He tried to raise up but I enveloped him in my tight grip. I was hugging his shoulders, my face buried in his nude chest, under his chin. I straddled his waist but my rear was in the air. My body arched into his. My tail found it's way, wrapped around his thigh.

He seemed flustered, but I was too busy being happy he was still alive.

"Now Miss.Bokkusu, young Midoriya needed to rest."

"It's okay, I was waking up anyway." He defended.

"Okay." She directed toward him, "I still need to bandage you up Miss.Bokkusu."

I begrudgingly raised up, still sitting in his lap. I looked over to her then to Izuku. I leant down and gave him a kiss on his freckled cheek and got up.
