Cherreads

Chapter 107 - Interrogation

After a passionately enthusiastic night of Himi and I demonstrating just how much we missed each other we head downstairs to grab breakfast… only to be ambushed! Tape binds our arms to our sides before we're dragged towards and tied down to a set of chairs and quickly surrounded by all the other members of 1-A sans Kachan and Mineta. Well, Shoko is at the counter eating a bowl of cereal, but she's still present! And Izumi is tied up next to us, so it's probably not a villain thing, but then what's the deal?

Ashido stands in front of the three of us with her arms crossed under her chest, smirking. "There's no escape this time, we'll have our answers!"

I stare at her for a moment, taking the time to think before I respond. "Very well, it was Tsu who smacked your butt in the halls the day before internships!"

She opens and closes her mouth silently before turning to the frog girl, who shrugs. "I know what I like." She turns to look at me with slightly narrowed eyes. "You've betrayed me, Usagi. I thought you said you could keep a secret?"

I shrug myself, the other students looking between the three of us like a complicated tennis match. So I decide to add more players. "I can!" I object. "I mean, I haven't told anyone about Aoyama pleasuring himself to his own reflection in abandoned classrooms, or Kirishima's masochism kink, or Yaoyorozu-"

I'm gagged before I can reveal the rich girl's dirty secret by said rich girl slapping duct tape over my mouth, her red faced glare promising that nobody would find my body if I reveal what I stumbled upon. Not that that would be a problem, since after I come back I could just leave wherever she dumped it, but it would be inconvenient. Not to mention it would cut into the time I could be spending with Himi, so I guess I'll let things lie. Instead I'll take the vast quantity of amusement I feel seeing the looks the class sends towards the two people I outed. And it is funny since I thought that it was obvious the fake redhead is a masochist. I mean, he likes to spend his time with Kachan!

As for Aoyama… I'm not one to judge since Himi likes to transform into me during sex. Not all the time, but often enough that I don't think it's weird to be attracted to yourself. At least when it's someone else who has the exact same appearance as you. Then again, that might just be because I know it's Himi wearing my body. The line gets kind of blurry when it's literally yourself and your own single body instead of someone else with their own version of your body. Anyways, I was not expecting to stumble upon the sparkly boy while looking for a place to put a glitter bomb. It wasn't traumatizing or anything, but, yeah.

I got everyone's attention off of Tsu, though, so I'm going to call this a win!

After properly shuffling away from the two they finally seem to remember that they have Izumi and I tied up together. Himi got bored of waiting and freed herself to grab some breakfast and is currently sitting with Shoko, leaning in close and whispering to her with a sly smile and making the two-toned girl blush. I… should probably be concerned about that, but as long as they're both having fun it's fine.

"We want details!" Hagakure yells, presumably waving her arm in the air based on the way her shirt is moving. I snap my fingers and would point at her, but again, tied up.

"I'll send you the video after I get untied! Feel free to play it for the grape whenever you think he deserves to suffer."

"That's not- actually, yeah, I like the sound of that." I can't help but snort in amusement at how quickly she changes her mind on the subject. Of course, I have no doubt that she's going to watch it herself to satisfy her… curiosity, but it will definitely work to keep the grape on a leash if the previous evening's lesson didn't sink in. Honestly I might just harass him with the video anyways. He does not get to talk about Himi like he did. He's lucky I didn't light him on fire like that one gang with the guy who stole her clothes.

Jiro huffs. "To get us back on track," she turns to me and Izumi. "Did you two know you weren't All Might's kids!?"

We both shake our heads, Izumi slowly and me enthusiastically. "Nope!" I chirp. "But I'm not complaining! Though it does mean that I now have two deadbeat male parental figures instead of one, so 'y'know." I shrug. "Blame Inko?"

"You definitely should," Himi pipes up from where she's eating her waffle, a small bandage wrapped around Shoko's wrist as she stares curiously at Himi's food. "She's part of a quirk extremist cult."

A few students seem to not hear her, too focused on Izumi and me, but some turn to give her looks that clearly say they don't believe her and think she's messing with them, but others actually believe her. Which I'm not completely sure is the right thing to do, but I'll ask her for more details later in private. "Which one?" Tsu croaks with her head tilted. Izumi also seems oddly interested…

"Meta Liberation, the crazy one, not the political movement one that Destro tried to lead before being declared a terrorist."

Tsu hums while Izumi's eyes blow wide open, and she clearly falls deep into thought. No idea what that's about, but it's none of my business and not enough to garner my interest. "At least it's not the Creature Rejection Clan," Tsu muses aloud, earning herself winces and nods from the fellow mutants in the room.

"Or the Inhuman Supremacy Party," Hagakure throws out with the air of someone grimacing. I really need to sit down and help her with her quirk one of these days, I think to myself. Because if her quirk were a full mutation that makes her invisible it would have appeared gradually, but I overheard *cough* eavesdropped *cough* that she just woke up invisible one day, which makes me think it's actually an emitter quirk that nobody ever bothered to identify.

I nod along with her, as do Yaoyorozu, Shoji, and Jiro. The rest just look confused, which means that they've all had the good fortune to not come in contact with the band of crazy people saying that the less human you look, the better you are than everyone else. They're basically the exact polar opposites of the Creature Rejection Clan, which claims that the more human you look the better you are than everyone else. The LoV has run across a few operations under both organizations, and we were quick to slaughter them all. There's us crazy, and then there's that crazy, and, quite frankly, we don't have the patience to tolerate them.

"So, was there more y'all wanted to know or can we eat now?" Himi is back at the stove making more waffles, teaching Shoko how to make them as she goes. They smell just as good as always and I really want some right now.

"Yeah!" Unfortunately it doesn't seem like they're done with me yet. "Who is- where'd she go?" Kaminari's head whirls around after seeing the chair he was pointing at is empty, and most of the others start freaking out too. Which is extremely amusing to witness considering that Himi was just talking to them. It's not something that gets brought up very often, but her predatory lifestyle has made her exceptional at erasing her presence, even to the point where people don't notice her when she's in the same room as them! Like right now.

The exceptions of course are those with sensory quirks, and Yaoyorozu since she has previous experience with Himi and I messing with her. Speaking of, my little vampire giggles before ducking below the counter just in time to avoid the students catching sight of her again.

I tilt my head and look at 1-A curiously. "Who are you talking about?"

"The girl!" Ur…Uraraka? Yeah, Uraraka says. I probably should have a better grasp of her name since I did manipulate her… twice, but she hasn't really interacted with me much while I've been here, and it slipped my mind after spending the night with Himi. So, whoops. "The blonde one who snuck into my room and bit me!"

On one hand, when?? On the other hand, understandable. She kind of feels like she would be mochi flavored.

I tilt my head to the other side and raise an eyebrow at her. "Should I know who you're talking about?"

"The girl who was in your lap when we came back from class yesterday!" Kaminari yells, eyes wide.

I let my other eyebrow join the first in its raised position. "I had a girl in my lap yesterday?"

"Bro! Not manly!" The masochistic redhead yells. "You were petting her head like a cat!"

"…That was a cat," I say with a straight face, because Himi is absolutely a cat. Nothing better than making her purr~.

Tokoyami tilts his head up as he looks at me. "Your obfuscation of the truth without uttering a single deceit is masterful, rabbit."

Dark Shadow pops herself out for a moment and opens her beak before closing it and looking back at her brother/father. "…That was actually perfectly understandable." She withdraws back into the bird boy, who blinks at where she was before shrugging the abrupt action off.

"You can't trick me!" Ashido declares with narrowed eyes. "I know there was a blonde cutie in your lap yesterday! You even introduced her before you kissed Shoko!"

I smirk at her while Shoko blushes in the kitchen. "Oh yeah? Then what's her name~?"

She falters for a moment before her face screws up in determination. "It was… Himmm… Himi To…ga? Himi Toga?"

I snap my fingers, pulling my arms free of the tape. "Almost exactly right! Her name is Himiko. Himi is a nickname I call her." I tilt my head and watch them curiously. "Why'd all of you forget her name?"

They shuffle silently for a minute before Ojiro explains. "Well, right after you introduced her you threatened us, then kissed literally the least socially active person in class, and then dragged Mineta and the girls away to 'break the grape'."

Sero nods, even though he keeps the glare he always has when he looks at me. "Yeah, it was a lot of information to process in so little time."

"Do less drugs, it will help your brain," I advise before proceeding to ignore his denials about his obvious drug consumption. Maybe I should just sneak into his room and tape it to his door so he stops bothering, it's not like I particularly care. Really, the only reason I even bring it up is because it's amusing to watch his terrible attempts at lying.

At the moment though, I have more important things to do. Such as devouring the plate of waffles my girlfriend puts on the counter! Which reminds me, we'll have to bring a plate up for Eri as well. I invited her down with us, but she was worried about how many of the class would be present so we said she could eat in the room. And she was right to be worried since they were waiting in ambush! Our little unicorn has good instincts! She'll be a great villain when she grows up!

Izumi, meanwhile, wiggles in the chair she's still tied to. "Uh, can someone let me go?"
