Giving a long, exhausted stretch, Koyuki leaned back against the padding of the chair. Her arms raised above her head as she gave a soft yawn and looked around the cafe she was in, a sketchpad on the table before her along with a cup of coffee that was slowly growing cold. She got like this at times, sketching silently while her imagination ran wild on paper, rather than in the streets or in this cozy shop. Even now, her mind still ran mad with the events of the previous night as she looks down at her pencil.

[i]"Why can't you just leave me alone?! You already ruined my chances of going to UA and now this? I am [b]NOT[/b] joining the 'Family business' don't you get that?!" She screamed, her hands shaking as she clenched her fists together, her chest huffing as she stared her cousin down. The two girls had often been mistaken for sisters and even twins but at this moment, they were anything but close as they stood on opposite ends of one another. Akari scoffed and crossed her arms as those golden eyes, a trait of their family, were as cold as ice as she glanced at Koyuki and looked to the ceiling in annoyance. 

"How long are you going to cry over that? The school is a piece of crap anyways and what good would you do there? What would you do if you had to go against one of us, Yuki? Hm? Would you fight us? Would you fight my mom, my dad, ME?! We're family and you need to start acting like it." Akari said as her gaze moved from the ceiling back to her cousin, glaring as she slowly stalked towards the young girl. Eye to eye, she brushes her hand against her chin and smiles sweetly before whispering into her ear, "Besides, who would feel safe with a hero related to villains on the street? You're a liability. Here, you'd be welcomed with open arms and remember, even among us freaks, you're the real one." She giggled and slammed her shoulder into Koyuki's as she pushed past her, walking out of the girl's apartment door with a harsh slam behind her. [/i]

Gripping her cup in her hands, she took a shaky breath before taking a sip, doing her best not to focus on the anger bubbling in her throat. She had to learn as a child how to control her quirk, as her nightmares would become a reality and she had been kicked out of countless daycares and playcenters as a toddler for the creatures her dreams conjured. Her aunt and uncle had been her closest supporters next to her parents as her aunt's power was vaguely similar to hers, thus giving her a mentor to look up to. It wasn't until she grew up that she learned she had been, in fact, been grooming Koyuki in hopes of her joining their side of the family. What angered her cousin more than anything though, was that Koyuki turned her back and instead applied to UA, hoping to become a hero to others and to protect those without a voice or without hope. She wanted to save others, no matter what. 

Koyuki finished her coffee and set the mug down before packing her bags. Hoisting her backpack onto her shoulders, she glanced around the shop once more before stepping out onto the street, holding her beret down as the wind blows her pale emerald hair into her eyes for a moment. Blinking past the sun in her eyes, she turns and makes her way down the street, humming softly as she smiles, thinking of the second application she sent to UA for possible late submissions. Apparently the school was allowing students to enter in the course through some sort of test. She could only hope that she would be able to pass, even if it wasn't the main hero course.
