I do not own either animes.
Kagome moved away from where she was observing the ring. She was going to confront the person she knew was making Todoroki uncomfortable.
'Not like these matches matter, I know who is going to win.'
Upon arriving at the corridor where Enji Todoroki was, she stopped. 'Would he listen? Enji after all forced Todoroki's mom to 'make' him and the hatred stems from that as well as harsh training methods.' She shook her head, 'Enji may not listen now, but the words will haunt him.' With that she entered the same corridor Enji was in.
"Endeavor."
The hellflame hero turned around upon hearing his name, he raised a brow, "And you are…?"
"Kagome Higurashi sir."
"And what do you want?" Kagome gave him a look of disbelief.
"I want you to understand where Todoroki is coming from." Enji gave a scoff at the thought of understanding the boy.
"Did he get you to do this?"
"No he did not. I genuinely care for him and that is why I'm asking you to give me your time to explain to you his actions." Enji got up from the wall he was leaning against. He walked to the edge of the entrance Todoroki went through.
"I will give you 20 seconds"
20
"Endeavor, I am here to speak to you not only as a classmate of Shouto's but a friend."
19
"He cares for you but on a more subconscious level. You forced yourself onto the woman he calls mother and abused him."
17
"The scars you left on him will never leave, they'll fade but those memories are proof that you are not a true hero. A true hero would never abuse their family, friends, and fans."
14
"That is why you will never be entrusted with the Symbol of Peace unless All Might retires. And even then, you would want to earn your position correct?"
10
"The first step to understanding Shouto would not be trying to get him out of his rebellious stage as you would put it. It would be to take care of your family; the family you neglected and abused for the sake of your own selfishness."
6
"I get it, Shouto have your blood, your quirk. That is why you believe that his accomplishments are yours right?"
5
"Well that is not the case, every person is unique and they therefore produce different quirks, it may be similar but each quirk will never be the same because they are their own person."
4
"Please keep that in mind as you continue to push Shouto to his limits."
3
"If your father abused your mother, I am sure you would want to defy your father in every way as well."
2
"Remember Enji, your actions towards Shouto right now does not show you are a hero. You are a villain, you may fight for the heroes, but you do not exemplify that you are in fact a hero."

"Enough." Enji rumbled out as the flames started to grow. It grew near Kagome and licked her form but it did not burn her as he thought it would. His eyes narrowed, 'This girl isn't even trying in the Sports Festival…' Kagome walked forward, "It was nice talking to you Endeavor. I have to go, it's time for my match."
"Aaaaaand for our next match we have our new transfer into the hero course, from Class 1-A Kagome Higurashi! Up against her is someone from the Iida family, also in the hero course Class 1-A, let's clap it up for Tenya Iida!"
Kagome walked out into the ring, smiling at the audience and waving at Midoriya and Todoroki as she caught their eyes. She caught a glimpse of Endeavor in the entrance where she left him. She smirked, 'So he is interested in my abilities… no matter, he won't see the full extent.'
"Are you two ready?" Midnight boomed. Iida and Kagome turned to her and nodded. She waved her whip down, "Begin!" Iida immediately raced towards Kagome while she stood still with her eyes closed. She smirked, the wind came forward and pushed Iida back. Her arm waved out and the extra movement caused the wind to push Iida back even more. Iida stumbled backwards but caught himself.
"What type of quirk is that?" Kagome's smirk grew wider.
"Allow me to explain," Kagome started, "My quirk allows me to communicate with the spirits of this world. I ask them what to do and they do so on my command. I don't force them to do anything really. For example, Kaze! Can you show yourself please?" With an open palm out, Kagome allowed the wind to collect there and form a tiny figure.
The figure was see-through and it had no clothes. The figure was very feminine but lacked the feminine parts of an actual female. It had wings that faded at the ends. It's hair was rather long, reaching to the butt of the figure. It had deep blue, wide eyes, a round nose and lips. It's skin tone was a cool gray.
"This is Kaze, the spirit of the wind. I can ask her to push you back and she will. Kaze, would you care to demonstrate?" Kaze nodded and dissipated. The crowd gasped as strong winds blew over them and Iida struggled to get a grip to stay on the wind. All of a sudden, the wind stopped.
"WOAH HO! Ladies and gentlemen! Our newest transfer into the hero course is pushing back her peer with what seems to be no effort. She may say that her quirk is Spirit Communication, but does she have a limit? After all, what can talking do?"
Kagome turned to look up at Yamada, "I actually do have a limitation, I can only use one element at a time for now for longer usages. For a more powerful attack, I can communicate with other spirits for their strength, but I can not communicate with them for a long time." She turned back to Iida.
"Let's end this quickly, don't you agree Iida? I am very surprised you even got up to my face. Kaze usually stops the person from going up to my face. I congratulate you, but this is where the match ends; Kaze!" The winds came back again, stronger than ever and in his shock, Iida did not notice that he was knocked off the ring. Midnight raised her hand.
"And Kagome of Class 1-A from the hero course is advancing onto the next match!"
Kagome walked up to Iida, offering him a hand, "Here." Iida took it with a smile and grunted as he was hauled up. He patted the dust off of him and turned to walk away from Kagome.
"Perhaps you and Kaze should talk more," Iida snapped his head to Kagome, Kaze was on her shoulder, hiding behind her hair with a blush on its cheeks, "She's quite fond of you." Iida grinned at her.
"Of course! The wind and I will be one!" Kaze floated over to Iida and pecked him on the cheek before dissipating in embarrassment. The two classmates smiled at one another and they chatted about how Iida would be able to become faster and overcome his limits.
Up at the bleachers where the classes were, Midoriya clenched his pen in shock and awe. 'I had no idea Kagome was that good… she might be even stronger than Todoroki and Kacchan.' He was oblivious to the shadowed eyes of Uraraka as she stood up and walked away into the waiting room of finalists. Her drink was placed on her seat and left forgotten.
"Next up! We have Mina Ashido from Class 1-A and Yuga Aoyama from Class 1-A!"
The two stood there smirking at each other. The two waited for the signal to get started. Midnight let her hand rise and then fall sharply.
"Begin!"
Automatically, Aoyama let out a beam come out from his navel.
"The early bird gets the worm~" Ashido quickly jumped, "Woah~"
She continued to run around the ring with Aoyama's laser beam shooting at her one after another.
"Since we were on the same team for combat training, I know all about your quirk!" She used her quirk to shoot acid from her feet and started to slide rather than run. Aoyama thrusted his hips forward, "Same goes for me~"
Ashido bent over as a beam nearly hit her, "There's just one more thing that's different!" She continued to leap and duck as the beams came after her, "At the fitness test, you said if you shoot for more than a second, you'll get a stomach ache!" The stress of overworking his quirk was slowly showing on Aoyama's face.
"Y-you're persistent!" With that cry, Aoyama let out a particularly big laser but it was a loss. Ashido ducked under it and the beam dissipated. She started to slide into Aoyama's direction as quickly as possible seeing the discomfort on his face.
"My… my stomach…" Hearing those words, Ashido allowed liquid acid to form in her hands before throwing it to the navel belt. The acid continued to melt past the belt and it caused the pants to drop.
"My pants!" Aoyama shook as he had nowhere to hide and run. Ashido slid up to him and grinned.
"I'll finish it…" She crouched down, "With this!" She uppercutted Aoyama and his head snapped up. He groaned in pain and humiliation.
"Aoyama have fainted! Ashido advances to the second round!"
Cameras flashed as they snapped photos of Aoyama's defeat and the crowd cheered for the girl with pink skin. Yamada's voice came through the speakers.
"Aoyama's knocked out! Ashido's easy victory is indisputable!"
Everyone turned to Mineta as they heard a loud BANG coming from his direction. They saw him with his head tilted. "If only Aoyama's and Ashido's quirks were flipped…" A loud smack could be heard.
"Pervert, cut it out. The next match is starting." Everyone flinched at the feel of Kagome's dark aura. 'I thought she was happy a few seconds ago… talk about a mood swing…'
"Up next! Offense and defense in one body! The dark samurai accompanied by Dark Shadow! From the hero course, Fumikage Tokoyami! Versus-All purpose Creation! She was admitted through recommendations so her abilities are certified! From the hero course! Momo Yaoyorozu!"
'It is just as Present Mic says,' Yaoyorozu studied her opponent, 'I'm up against Tokoyami with Dark Shadow, offense and defense in one body. He can bring out Dark Shadow with no time lag, so there is no doubt he will start out with a preemptive strike.' She gritted her teeth, 'I should create a simple shield that doesn't take much time and block his attacks and if I have time, make a weapon-' Her train of thought was cut off by Yamada.
"Sixth Match! Start!"
Ojiro leaned over to Midoriya, "Midoriya, what do you think of this match?" The protagonist turned to answer Ojiro, but his eyes did not leave the ring. "I think time will be key."
"Time?"
"Yea, timing. What about you Kagome?" Kagome hummed, "I think that Yaoyorozu's downfall would be her dependence on making premature plans. With the small space she have, it would be best for her to come up with a plan as she go."
"Go, Dark Shadow!" the response to Tokoyami's command was instant. "Got it!" the shadow rushed to push Yaoyorozu back. She quickly created a shield using her forearm. She grunted as she was pushed back, keeping her eyes on the shadow as it came down.
She spoke out loud, "Next a weapon-!" However, she was interrupted by the shadow coming in contact with her shield again, pushing her back more. 'I can't collect my thoughts!' The shadow dove right in for a third push, seeing that his master's opponent was distracted. It knocked the shield out of Yaoyorozu's hands at the third push. Yaoyorozu grunted again.
Seeing that the Shadow was coming down again, Yaoyorozu quickly made a shield and put both hands behind it to avoid getting hurt. However, this push had a lot more force behind it than the others. With the Shadow gone, Yaoyorozu took her chance, 'Alright, I have my weapon-!'
"Yaoyorozu!" Midnight's voice called out to her and Yaoyorozu's heart thumped.
"Out of bounds!" Yaoyorozu looked down to see where she was only to see one foot outside the ring. Midnight brought her whip down, "Tokoyami advances to the second round!" With that announcement, Tokoyami called his Dark Shadow back and bowed to Yaoyorozu. He turned around to walk off the ring. Yamada's voice rang throughout the stadium.
"An overwhelming victory! A completely overwhelming victory! Tokoyami's Dark Shadow! Could it be the greatest quirk ever?!"
Yaoyorozu stood there, her eyes glimmered with unshed tears, "No… I couldn't do anything… Nothing… Wait… Did Todoroki see this match?!" She looked up and scanned the crowd for him and connected eyes with him. She could see nothing beyond his cold gaze. Taking that as a fail, Yaoyorozu walked back to the bleachers. Her tears escaped her as soon as she was out of sight.
"Tokoyami is amazing."
Kagome turned to Midoriya with crossed arms. Her eyes gaining a foggy look as her brain only replayed the look Yaoyorozu donned on her face when she saw Todoroki's indifference. 'It was so similar to the feelings the other me had for Inuyasha…' She let out a brief, bitter scoff, 'I'm getting a sense of deja-vu here.'
"Okay! Let's move on! Next up we have two guys with extraordinarily similar quirks! Manly and passionate steel! From the hero course, it's Tetsutetsu Tessutetsu!"
'What a mouthful' Kagome chuckled as she heard the slight slurring of Tetsutetsu's name from Present Mic.
"Manly and passionate hardening! From the hero course, it's Eijiro Kirishima!"
Kirishima clenched a fist with a tear showing at the corner of his eye. "Even our intros are the same?!" Tetsutetsu seemed oblivious to Kirishima's emotions and hyped himself up. "ALL RIGHT!"
"Let the passionate seventh match begin!"
As Kirishima and Tetsutetsu activated their quirks and lunged at one another, Kagome jolted as Midoriya stood up. "Izuku, where are you heading, this match just started." Midoriya turned to her with a grin, "I gotta go find Uraraka and with their quirks being nearly identical, it'll probably be a tie." Kagome gained a cat face.
"Or it could be that you like her~" Kagome pawed at him and Midoriya blushed before looking around quickly, "Don't say that so loud! People might get ideas! And you've got the wrong idea." Kagome laughed and stopped.
"Alright alright, lead the way."
Kagome and Midoriya paused in front of the door to 'Player Waiting Room 2.' Midoriya turned to Kagome in confusion, "What's the matter Kagome?"
Kagome sighed, "I just want to talk to Bakugou instead of Uraraka." Midoriya gasped in shock and horror, he grabbed ahold of her shoulders and stared down into her eyes.
"Why would you want to do that?" Kagome looked away from Midoriya's eyes in guilt and almost instantly, she was let go. "S-sorry about that Kagome, it's just you're a small female," a tick appeared on Kagome's forehead, "I-I mean you're strong and all but Kacchan is really scary and I'm just worried that if you visit him you might get hurt…" Kagome's anger vanished in almost in an instant and she melted at seeing the blush on his face as well as worry. She reached up and patted his head, "I'll be alright, go cheer up Uraraka."
Midoriya nodded reluctantly, "Alright."
Bakugou turned his head to the door as it creaked open. He sucked on his teeth in irritation.
"What do you want?"
Kagome could only sigh as he continued to be hostile towards her.
"You know, you suck at hiding your emotions," Bakugou growled at her, "You remind me just like one of my best friends, he always hid behind a rough exterior. Never letting anyone in until he felt safe. He couldn't let anyone see him at his weakness until his friends saw it for himself, he wouldn't let me fight because he was scared I might get seriously injured, and he would never take 9criticism." Bakugou's hooded eyes shook as she described her friend and in this, described him.
"What I am trying to say Bakugou, you should be nicer to other people and let go of your hate. There will come a time where the one person you need the most will not help because you keep pushing them away. I am not here to ask you to go easy on Uraraka, but I'm here to give you my support if you ever need it. Take it as an apology for snapping at you on my first day at school."
Throughout her words, Bakugou stayed quiet, which worried Kagome because he did not show any emotion in his aura either.
"And now for the final of the first matches! He was kind of a hotshot in middle school, just look at that look on his face! From the hero course, it's Katsuki Bakugou!"
Bakugou walked out with a scowl on his face and a glare at Uraraka. Kagome narrowed her eyes, 'You may be able to fool a lot of people around me, but you can't deny the truth.'
"Veruses! The one I'm personally rooting for-also from Class 1-A! Ochaco Uraraka!"
Uraraka clenched a fist and held it tightly near her chest in determination, her round eyes stared at her opponent.
'For my parents… I will do my best!'
A smirk could be seen on a scarred man's face, "Now… to get rid of you…"
AN: Before any of you guys say anything about the countdown... it was based on how many sentences Kagome spoke so yeaaaaaa the more she spoke with one breath, the more time she spent talking if that... make sense.
