MHA REINCARNATION!

The fluorescent lights of Blue University buzzed above Momo Yaoyorozu, a stark contrast to the turmoil brewing within her. She clutched her stomach, a wave of nausea washing over her. It had been three weeks since the incident, three weeks since the crimson flash during that experimental quirk amplification exercise, three weeks since she… changed.

She stared at her reflection in the bathroom mirror. Gone were the smooth curves, the long, midnight hair, the gentle features that defined Momo Yaoyorozu. In their place stood a young man with shorter, spikier black hair, a sharper jawline, and broader shoulders. The change was complete. Her quirk, Creation, still functioned, but now it manifested through this male form.

The initial panic had subsided, replaced by a bone-deep weariness. She'd spent the first few days locked in her dorm room, trying to reverse the transformation, to recreate her old body. But nothing worked. Her parents, informed of the "freak accident," were supportive, but their reassurances felt hollow.

The hardest part was the loneliness. She couldn't tell anyone. The humiliation, the fear of being ostracized, was too great. She'd withdrawn, offering vague excuses for her absence, relying on pre-made meals and online classes to avoid contact.

But the charade was cracking. People were noticing. Her grades were slipping, her classmates were concerned, and the professors were starting to inquire. She couldn't keep living a lie forever.

That's how she found herself, haggard and desperate, leaning against the sink in the men's bathroom, trying to catch her breath.

"Yaoyorozu?"

The voice startled her. She spun around, her heart leaping into her throat. Standing in the doorway were Mashirao Ojiro and Mezo Shoji, two of her closest classmates from their days at UA High.

Ojiro's brow was furrowed with concern. "We haven't seen you around. We were getting worried."

Shoji, as always, was more reserved, his extra arms folded across his chest. "We heard about the... accident. Are you alright?"

Momo's carefully constructed facade crumbled. Tears welled in her eyes. "I... I can't," she stammered, her voice cracking.

She turned away, ashamed for them to see her so vulnerable, especially in this jarring male form.

"Yaoyorozu, what's wrong?" Ojiro pressed, taking a step closer.

Momo took a deep breath, trying to compose herself. "Just… leave me alone, okay? I need some time."

But Ojiro wasn't going to back down. He'd always admired her strength, her intelligence, her unwavering dedication. He knew something was terribly wrong.

He reached out, gently placing a hand on her shoulder. "We're your friends, Yaoyorozu. You can tell us anything."

His touch, so familiar and comforting, was the final straw. The dam broke. She choked back a sob, her shoulders shaking.

"It's me," she whispered, the words barely audible. "It's me, Yaoyorozu."

Ojiro and Shoji exchanged a confused glance. "Yaoyorozu? But…" Ojiro trailed off, his eyes scanning her face, searching for something familiar.

Then, understanding dawned. He saw the flicker of intelligence in her eyes, the subtle curve of her lips, the way she held herself, even in this new body.

Shoji's eyes widened behind his mask. He stepped forward, extending a hand. "Yaoyorozu? Is that really you?"

Momo nodded, unable to speak.

The silence that followed was thick with emotion. Ojiro removed his hand from her shoulder, giving her space to breathe. He and Shoji exchanged another look, a silent conversation passing between them. They knew this was a huge secret, a life-altering revelation.

Finally, Ojiro spoke, his voice soft and reassuring. "It's okay, Yaoyorozu. We believe you."

Shoji nodded in agreement. "We're here for you."

Tears streamed down Momo's face, relief washing over her in a wave. She wasn't alone anymore.

The next few hours were spent in hushed tones in Ojiro's dorm room. Momo recounted the accident, the transformation, the fear, the isolation. Ojiro and Shoji listened patiently, offering words of comfort and support.

"We need to figure out a plan," Ojiro said, once Momo had finished her story. "You can't keep living like this."

"But what can I do?" Momo asked, her voice laced with despair. "I can't change back."

"We'll find a way," Shoji said, his voice surprisingly gentle. "We'll research your quirk, consult with experts. We'll do everything we can."

Ojiro nodded. "In the meantime, we need to help you adjust. You can't just disappear from everyone's lives."

The thought of facing her classmates, of explaining her absence, filled Momo with dread. "I don't know how," she whispered.

"We'll help you," Ojiro repeated. "We can pretend you're a distant cousin, a transfer student. We can introduce you as… Morio Yaoyorozu."

The idea was absurd, but it was also the only option. It was a way to stay connected, to continue her studies, to salvage some semblance of a normal life.

"Morio," Momo repeated, testing the name on her tongue. It felt strange, foreign, yet also… liberating.

The weeks that followed were a whirlwind of adjustments. Ojiro and Shoji helped Momo navigate her new identity, teaching her how to walk, talk, and act like a young man. They helped her choose clothes that fit her new frame, advised her on how to cut her hair, and even practiced her new voice with her.

It was awkward at first, filled with stumbles and missteps. But with their support, Momo slowly began to adapt. She started attending classes again, introduced as Morio, a distant relative of Momo Yaoyorozu who was staying with Ojiro and Shoji while he caught up on his studies.

The lie was exhausting, but it worked. Most of her classmates accepted Morio without question. Some were curious about Momo's absence, but Ojiro and Shoji skillfully deflected their inquiries.

The hardest part was interacting with her friends, especially those she was closest to. Seeing their concern for Momo, hearing their stories about her, was a constant reminder of what she had lost.

One day, she was walking through the campus grounds with Ojiro and Shoji when she spotted Kyoka Jiro sitting alone on a bench, her expression somber.

"I can't," Momo whispered, her voice choked with emotion. "I can't pretend anymore."

Ojiro and Shoji exchanged a worried glance. They knew this was coming.

Momo took a deep breath and walked towards Jiro. "Hey," she said, her voice deliberately gruff.

Jiro looked up, her eyes widening in surprise. "Morio, right? You're staying with Ojiro and Shoji?"

Momo nodded. "Can I sit down?"

Jiro shrugged. "Sure."

Momo sat beside her, a tense silence hanging in the air.

"You okay?" Momo asked, trying to sound casual. "You seem down."

Jiro sighed. "I just miss Momo. It's not the same without her."

Momo's heart ached. She wanted to tell Jiro the truth, to confess everything. But she was afraid. Afraid of rejection, afraid of ruining their friendship.

"Yeah, she was… pretty cool," Momo said, her voice cracking slightly.

Jiro looked at her, her expression curious. "You seem to know a lot about her."

Momo swallowed hard. "Ojiro and Shoji talk about her all the time."

Jiro nodded slowly, her eyes fixed on Momo's face. "You know," she said softly, "you remind me of her a little bit."

Momo froze. "What do you mean?"

"I don't know," Jiro said, shrugging. "It's just… something about your eyes, maybe. And the way you talk sometimes. It's like… you're trying to hide something."

Momo's heart pounded in her chest. She was about to break.

"I…" she began, her voice trembling.

But before she could say anything, Ojiro and Shoji approached, their faces etched with concern.

"Morio, we need to go," Ojiro said, his voice urgent.

Momo looked at Jiro, her eyes filled with unspoken words. Then, she stood up and walked away, leaving Jiro staring after her, a look of confusion and suspicion on her face.

The incident with Jiro was a wake-up call. Momo knew she couldn't keep living a lie forever. She needed to find a way to either change back or embrace her new identity. And she needed to do it soon, before she lost herself completely. With Ojiro and Shoji by her side, she knew she wasn't alone in this struggle. The road ahead would be difficult, but together, they would find a way to navigate this new reality and forge a path towards a future, whatever that future may hold. The journey of Morio Yaoyorozu had just begun.
