How many days had it been? How many weeks had passed since her pathetic failure? In all honesty, the days that had followed after the event were a blur, like a fog that tried to keep the memories sealed deeply in her mind. It wasn't that she had forgotten about the event, no there was simply no way she would be able to forget such a shameful display. Back then it had felt like such a great idea, to study diligently, to train a lot and then apply to the hero academy. She had thought things had gone perfectly, she had solved the written part of the examination in a manner that she was fairly confident that the majority of her answers were correct, but what followed afterwards... It was a simple practical test, one for the students to showcase their quirk and the degree of control they had over it. Of course, her desire to impress the faculty led her to ignore her companion's warnings, and instead, she went all out. She had envisioned a creation, a beast that borrowed the most powerful body-parts of some of the most famous animals in the wilderness. The wings of an eagle strengthened to carry the weight of her body. The frontal arms of a gorilla, strong and still quite usable compared to claws. The thick hide of a bear, the thickness protecting her from injuries, and yet at that time the memory grew hazy. She wanted to be impressive, but instead, something else stirred, and her metamorphosis changed to show a large monstrous boar, roaring menacingly but before any damage could be caused one of the teachers had knocked her out, causing her to shift out of her transformation.
In the wake of the event she was too ashamed to even read the results that were provided through correspondence with the hero academy, and instead nowadays Tsukiko found herself in the melancholy of everyday life. She simply trained, just like usual by jogging along the streets and into one of the parks of Tokyo, she had neither a goal or destination in mind. In a way, one could even say she was just running. But what was she running toward? Or perhaps the right question to ask was, what was she running away from? Her feline tail swished back and forth behind her, her breathing calm and steady despite having been jogging for a while already. She didn't really need to worry about bumping into people, her body was more than durable enough to prevent her from being knocked over unless they came at her with the force of a truck, but surely trucks didn't belong in the park.
Nonetheless, the shadowy feline accompanying her perched itself on her shoulder, attempting to draw her attention as it chimed softly. "Captain~ We're on a collision course! Bracing for impact in five... four... three... two... one... IMPACT!" And before the girl even realized what the cat was talking about, Tsukiko fell a light pressure bump into her torso, making her thoughts snap back to reality as she gazed in bewilderment at the source of this collission!

Chikako was training in her usual aspect, a jog around the park a few times, in order to build up her physical abilities she lacked and of course keep her figure in order to continue modeling. However, due to her hard of hearing and her anxiety, she tended to zone out and with the unability to hear made it very hard for her to have good visual of her surrounding. With this lack of awareness, she ultimately ended up crashing into a the girl in front of her. Bang.
To her surprise, neither of them fell, as Tsukiko stood strong, but chikako face was soon faceplanted into her soft chest. A bright flush spread across her face, knowing what she fell into and then fell backwards onto her rear. She was a little bit sweaty and panting, from her exhausting run she was close to finishing. "I-I-I-I a-am s-so sorry", she said stuttering with a toneless voice, clearly panicked. She looked around and then flinched a bit before getting up from the ground and bowed quickly, hoping that she did not offend the girl. Chikako was smaller then Tsukiko by quite a few inches and chikako, while stunningly beautiful, was very scrunny and it showed. Clearly, she did not want to tussle with the much larger and built girl in front of her.

The sudden collision, fortunately, didn't make her fall, or even stagger really, courtesy of the unnatural resilience her body had. However, the same couldn't always be said for others, so when she felt someone bump into her Tsukiko's thoughts instantly snapped back to reality. Yet the sight that awaited her was not exactly one she had anticipated, for a young girl, perhaps a bit younger than herself had found herself face-first onto the young Kimura's bust, and after a momentary daze fell backwards in embarrassment.
Of course Tsukiko's initial response was a mixture of bewilderment and concern, extending a hand for the girl if she needed help to get upright. "Are you alright?" Tsukiko inquired, while the shadowy cat perched on her shoulder hummed softly. "I'm certain the softness of those pillows will have reduced the impact of colliding against you, it's kinda like the safety precaution of a car!" Tsukiko couldn't help but frown at the feline's cheesy remark, muttering in response. "I'm not entirely pleased with the fact you compare my bust to an airbag Yami." The shadowy feline snickered mischievously in response while the girl tilted her head slightly to the side made a light shake of her head in response. "Don't worry about it, my fault for not paying attention." Tsukiko answered her, a momentary pause following as she gazed at the girl. For some reason she seemed quite nervous, the light stuttering and the way she bowed, it was evident she was uneasy. It kinda made Tsukiko a bit self-cautious, looking down at her own clothes and muttered softly. "Do I look that intimidating?" The feline laughed merely in response to that inquiry, humming in response. "You might look like a tiger but deep inside you're just a kitten, hah!"
A hand raised slightly up to her shoulder where she grabbed a hold of the feline's head and nudged him slightly against her shoulder, the slightly rough treatment making it chime in response. "Manhandling me won't free you from the truth, Miss Barbarian~" Heaving an exaggerated sigh the lass looked back at Chikako and gestured at the nearby bench. "You seem to have been jogging for a while already, want to take a break? I'll get us some drinks, consider it my treat as a means of apologizing for bumping into you."
Hopefully, Chikako would at least acknowledge her desire to provide a proper apologize.

Chikako was a bit flustered still, even if the somewhat brutish looking girl seemed sorry herself for being dazed in her own thoughts. "S-sorry", she said in her tone-deaf voice, apologizing even though she asked if she was alright, her anxiety issues making the social situation that much harder to contain. Though soon she was entertained with the show that the cat began, making her blush even harder when the cat spoke of her "airbags". "U-u-um y-your t-totally not intimidating I-I-I'm sorry I am just a bit nervous s-sort", she stuttered in her tone-deaf voice and began to reach for the feline's hand After getting to her feet, she bowed to the girl in a polite way as if to thank her for assisting her up. She put her hands together and listened to the bantering of her and the cat before she was ultimately invited to a drink. "I-its fine, I was dazed out to preparing for the U.A festival", she said as she pushed her fingers together and looked down. "B-but sure, I am parched", she said in response not wanting to insult her by declining her offer. "I-if that's okay", she muttered with nervousness fiddling with her fingers again.

To call Chikako the 'nervous' sort sounded like quite an understatement. A thought the shadowy feline soon decided to voice out loud. "Ara~ Ara~ 'a bit' she says, you seem like the sort who would start to squeak if someone tried to flirt with her." Of course Tsukiko wasn't entirely pleased with the cat's attitude, raising a hand to her shoulder and giving the feline a light chop on the head. However, it seemed Chikako had soon decided to reveal the reason she had been distracted, the encroaching sport's festival. Of course it was an event Tsukiko was familiar with, last year it had been broadcasted all over the world, and earned quite a lot of attention, although the feline lass had to do her utmost to keep herself from cringing lightly at the memory associated to the hero academy. No, it would do her no good to ponder about such things, so instead she decided to focus on apologizing properly by buying the girl a drink.
She gestured lightly with her thumb toward the nearby vending machine and a bench that was not that far from it. "Is soda alright for you?" Once the girl answered she would make her way over to the vending machine and with a few button pressed purchased a bottle of soda and a can of milk tea, and after handing over the former took a seat at the bench.
"The Sports festival, so you're one of the students at the hero academy?" She smiled briefly, for while she might had some unpleasant memories associated with the school, it didn't mean she disliked the hero program the government was trying to introduce. After all, some people might had possessed both the desire and power to do good, to help people or protect them, so why not allow them to do so after receiving the proper training and education?
"I recall seeing a broadcast of the festival last year, it looked pretty intense, are you one of the hero course, or support course students? If I recall right I heard there are different type of fields of focus that they offer at the hero academy."
She briefly paused, removing the lid of the can of milk tea and took a soft sip from it. Fortunately the milk tea did its job in calming her down, and so the feline lass sighed softly, a brief musing escaping her lips. "Must be great, to be able to pursue your dreams like that."

"F-flirt? I-i'm not that cute", she said with a even more nervous laugh. Her finger playing got even worse and faster, as she felt her chest tighten up. She was already a wreck, teasing did not help the matter at all; the cat got that much correct even if he was rude in the process of saying it. "U-um y-yes soda is fine", she said as she slowly and gently took the soda out of the girl's hand and popped the cap open. "T-thank you", she muttered as she wiped some more sweat off her brow. She took a sip, letting the girl speak, not wanting to speak over her.
'U-um, Y-yes I guess you could say I am a student I suppose", she said as she looked down at her knees and bite her lip. "I-I mean I am not particularly good but somehow, I guess through my parents influence, I have been a student for a year or so now", she muttered on. She knew she was not that amazing, she was forced to go there by her parents, though she hated it less then when she first joined she still was overwhelming lonely. If she could, she would run away, so hearing the girl say 'Must be great, to be able to pursue your dreams like that', she felt a little sting in her heart on how just opposite it was for her.
"Hmm, maybe, though I would rather draw for the rest of my life", she said gently deep in thought, thinking of the things she would rather do. One of her ideas, being an art teacher for those with disabilities similar to her. Though, quickly, her mind was getting lost in thoughts. "Sorry", she said as she swirled the drink around and took another sip of the drink before raising her head and looking the girl in the eyes. "I'm technically the hero course but I don't want to fight. I can barely control my quirk, even if I got a little better I don't have control", she laughed a bit and looked back down at the drink. "And it's such a sucky quirk that I have to work out my body hard, like today to even compete", she said as she sighed. "Last year, I did the rescue event. I did little to nothing but hop over some chemicals and was seen as a deadweight by at least Emi", she said almost self deprecating. "Sorry, im mumbling", she said as she tried got lost in her thoughts again.

The shadowy feline couldn't help but snicker at the girl's nervous reaction to his teasing, nonetheless, for now he decided to cut her a little bit of slack. Listening to Chikako had confirmed Tsukiko's earlier assumptions that this girl was indeed a student at the hero academy, and as she casually sipped her drink she listened further to the girl's explanation. So she had primarily enrolled thanks to her parents their influence? Not really a situation she could understand, after all her parents were simple bakers, still when Chikako mentioned she'd rather be drawing for the rest of her life, the lass frowned for a moment. "No need to apologize." the lass answered kindly while thinking further. So Chikako was a member of the hero course, but didn't really want to fight at all. Was it because she was a more passive individual, or was it concern over her lack of control over her quirk? It was certainly a matter that she herself could understand well considering the nature of her own Quirk.
"Well..." She started, hoping to draw Chikako's attention. "You might have not enrolled into the hero academy out of your own will, but the fact you didn't leave yet has to have a reason right? To be honest, the fact you're willing to stay there despite having a quirk that you can't control well shows a certain sense of strength and resolve. Not everyone would be brave enough to stand up again when they fail, and yet despite your trials and tribulations you still continue to struggle, that's pretty impressive if you ask me."
She smiled briefly at Chikako, a hand raising to her own cheek as she pondered for a moment. "Not all heroes are the fighting type, some might specialize in supportive roles, others might be the type to focus on rescuing and protecting people. Then again, I'm kinda in a similar boat like you." She smiled weakly as she resumed speaking. "I got a powerful quirk of sorts, but the more I use it, the greater my lack of control becomes. I tried to enroll into the hero academy, but when during the practical tests I lost control I became so ashamed I didn't dare to even reconsider trying again."
She took another sip from her drink and felt her ears twitch lightly, gods she really loved this milk tea. "So compared to me, you're pretty amazing in my eyes Chikako-chan~"
Indeed, the smile and words of the girl were clearly filled with honesty. It was not simply a polite encouragement, but something Tsukiko genuinely believed. Either way, she hoped that her words would have at least encouraged the young lady. Yami meanwhile had chosen to perch on the girl's shoulder and take a little catnap, not exactly interested in the peptalk his partner was giving the young hero fledgling.
Still, she had to admit that somewhere deep inside, she was glad that there was a student in this school that had similar concerns and worries as herself.

She just gave a small, gentle smile, to the feline lady beside her and then looked down into the soda swirling the can in her hand as she fell silent, not exactly responding but entering a deep thought mode. Though, some of the words were muffled, she understood the jist of Tsukiko's words of encouragement. "I see", she said in response not wanting to just completely shut down in front of the girl.
"I suppose not all fight...but all my quirk can do really is fight", she said as she looked up for a brief second at Tsukiko before retreating her gaze back to the can of soda. "My quirk just summons a demon that slices things", she said with a soft sight and smiled softly. "Though, I appreciate your words. And if being a hero is your dream, why not try? I am sure you could get in if you really wanted", she said as she took a sip of the soda right after. "There are a lot of people in the school that improve greatly, some that were weaker then I am. I just don't seem to be getting much better, but I'm sure you could", she said as she returned the kind words of encouragement.
