'Well, Well…'

I lifted my head, just after that fluffy kiss. I looked down to Reiko, who turned her face with a blush. Probably she's trying to analyse what's going on as well.

I didn't think that, when she had said she would test me, we would kiss. And here I originally thought that I was going to take some lame star or hear some complaining, for that I told Reiko I like her but she needs my GF permission to start dating.

I was overwhelmed by feelings now. I may be the luckiest man alive.

'Now, All is left is to take her to Itsuka… who already, indirectly, said she's okay.

'Damn, I love her so much. And Yu as well.'

It seems my bad luck days are over – the days where strong villains would attack whenever I relax.

"So."

I and Reiko said in one voice; It was our habit not to talk unless it's necessary. Something in common between us, I guess.

She patted the hair in front of her face while I scratched my chin, waiting for the other person to talk.

But no one opened their mouth.

Staring at each other, we realised how it will be. We smiled at the same time.

"Do you want to walk?"

"Let's walk."

We said, again, at the same time.

After a pause, we nodded, agreed, and then we started walking alongside each other.

"So, you said you like me. Since when did that start?" Reiko said.

"Since when did you?" I asked back, as I have no answer on my part.

"Probably a few days ago."

"Really. How about, Sports Festival." When I asked, a faint pink layer was added on her cheek, since I was hinting about that kiss and faint.

"I don't know what you are talking about." She put her hand on her lips and lowered her eyes

I'm not a dense person. She had been, lately, seeming to close to me. Even though I didn't show that I was noticing the signals she was throwing at me, I could see them and I had clearly understood. But since she hadn't said anything at that time, I hadn't said a thing on my part.

"Good Grief." I sighed. "Is this a test?"

"Ahem." She faked a cough, stopped a step behind me, and held my hand, making me turn to her.

"Can we have that again? I just want to make sure how it does feel." Reiko said while looking at my lips.

Looking at her alluring shape, and how she was staring up at me, I seemed not able to resist.

I held her chin and leaned down, channelling the energy on my tongue. I then started kissing her.

It wasn't the kind of kiss that was proper for your first time. But it was more of the one where to insert your tongue, and taste your partner's mouth. Reiko, her hands on my cheek, was closing her eyes and sucking my breath as we kissed.

I enjoyed the fluff her small full lips gave me. They were so soft that I could almost sink.

*Muah*

After we kissed, she giggled, before turning her face, so I wouldn't catch her smile. "That was something else."

"I know," I said as if it was expected.

"So you felt the same, let's do it again."

Isn't she, getting a bit more naughty the more we talked.

I was about to let a hopeless smile.

But then, I noticed it. Reiko as well did. We were drawn out of the honey mood.

"Reiko," I called, my facial expression changed all of the sudden. "Stay on the guard."

"Mm…" She nodded, raised her hand, and few rocks flew around her, in an alert.

When both of us nodded, we turned our faces in the same direction.

There was a purple gas, like fog, approaching us.

We had noticed it the moment the gas veiled the moonlight.

The gas was like the one which Midnight could usually produce. Yet, it seemed to be a lighter version.

Whatever it can do, we can't let our guard down.

"Don't breathe."

"I know. I'm not that dense." Reiko nodded as she was stepping back; she pinched her nose. "We should go back."

"Don't move. You aren't faster than gas." Looking at how fast it's spreading, I could assume that it would reach where the other students are. Probably it covered the forest. It must be cleaned.

'Star Platinum!'

That was a job for him.

Star Platinum stood in front of me, 4 meters, opened his mouth, and used his super-breath, to suck it.

The gas was moving at a high rate to Star Platinum's lungs. Probably, once he's done, the gas would vanish anyway.

Reiko doubtlessly saw it as a black hole absorbing the gas, which appeared in the middle of the air.

"That, wasn't the move that you used with that mud guy?"

She mentioned as she dropped on her knees, not looking at me.

"Yes, how did you know?" No one ever brought that, except for Neito.

"Neito mentioned it once. I overheard him when he was analysing your Quirk."

Reiko placed her hands on the ground, lowered her head, and placed her ear on the grass, before closing her eyes.

Seeing her behaviour, I was curious. "What are you doing?"

"Because of my Quirk, I am more sensitive to the objects." She said. "Although I can't move things heavier than what my body can lift, I can still wrap my power around heavier objects. Even if I can't move them, I can still feel them."

"Useful ability." I nodded.

Reiko said. "Don't you think, possibly, it could be a prank from our classmates? Someone maybe is seeing us and decided to prank us."

"It can be." I didn't deny that possibility. Pixie-Bob may even send some beasts after us.

"But there is no one with a Quirk to make this gas, not from our class, not from the other one," except for Momo, probably, who can create a gas can, which is unlikely?

"Yeah." She nodded. "I agree with you."

Besides, my guts and sixth sense is telling me otherwise.

"There are some footsteps around. Extra feet than the ones that are supposed to be."

Opening her eyes widely for a brief before having a stoic expression, she frowned as she stood up.

"Could it be…?" Her tone seemed to have anger when she said the last part.

I cracked my fingers. Although I could rush back, Reiko Yanagi is with me. Star Platinum was done from sucking the gas. The air around was clear for us to breath.

"Yanagi, stay close to me." I waved my head at Reiko. "Whatever happens, don't get more than 3 meters far from me."

"Your range is more than that." She let a chuckle. "I can move farther, right?"

"Yeah." I shook my head. "But I don't want you to get hurt, not like the last time."

She moved her hands to the ghost position, rocks flew around her, and she approached me.

"I'll stay closer than."

"Well, well." I became sarcastic here as I started jogging at the camp's direction. "Aren't we starting a date so early?"

"Probably you are right." She followed behind me.

"Hey, when did you learn to make such comments?"

"We sit next to each other at the class, remember."

"Good Grief," I said, before turning serious all of the sudden.

Although there are teachers and heroes there, I still have to go back and see what's the situation.
