Prologue – Disgruntled Awakening


"I'm sorry!" "It's yours now!" "We're special…" "My legacy…" "You're next!" "It scares me…" "This is all, for your sake…"


Shōkan's POV

I slowly opened my eyes as the voices recede from my mind. I groggily stare at the ceiling and I jump out of bed in alarm. 'This isn't my room! Where am I?' I recall what had transpired the day before. 'Ugh, my head still hurts…' I shuffle across the room and slowly open the door. The house is eerily quiet. I walk down the corridor and towards a living room. To the north-west is a counter and a little kitchen area, east of that is a small coffee table with two couches angled so that one could watch the TV that sat across from the table. Between the two areas was a door that lead to outside. That's all I could make out from the start of the corridor. As I walk down the corridor, I see framed photos of a little girl with midnight black hair and a small mole below her lip, and she gets progressively older in the photos until she is standing next to a guy with short white hair. 'So, they're friends, huh.' I glare at the image as the back of my head starts to throb slightly.

I make it to the kitchen and see a small piece of paper taped to the fridge. 'Hey Shō-kun! Had to go stop a bank robbery. Help yourself to breakfast. Your clothes are on the couch. Enjoy school! :D' "I hate that woman…" I mumbled as I opened one of the cupboards. 'NO CHOCOLATE!' I massage my temples for a moment. 'I'll have to buy some later…' I open the fridge and peer inside. Looks like a bunch of leftovers. I take some Miso Soup and put it in the microwave and set it to 'reheat'. I walk over to the couch and get changed into my uniform and made sure that my cloth is wrapped firmly around my chest. As I finish, the microwave goes off. I retrieve the soup and begin eating quietly. I place my bowl in the basin and peer at the clock. 8:14. With nothing else to do, I exit the house, close and lock the door with the key in my blazer, and begin walking.


I walk down the street and nonchalantly look around. The little children with smiles on their faces, the adults who walk around contently, it fills me with content and disgust at the same time. I see a man throw his half-eaten lunch in the bin and I clench my teeth. 'KILL HIM! UNGRATEFUL FILTH!' I massage my temples and continue walking. As I pass by an intersection, I hear yelling. "Hey! Shōkan!" I turn to the left to see two girls approaching. "Good to see that you're not hurt!" I turn to the girl. She had a slim figure, cobalt-blue chin length hair what was swept to the back. She had long bangs and a fringe that covered the entirety of her forehead. She was also slightly taller than me. "Sebone," I greeted. I turned to the other person standing next to Sebone. She was extremely lean with long arms and legs. She had a mop of messy, chin-length black hair. She had a long fringe that obscured her right eye and hung next to her prominent, pointed nose. Her mouth was set in a firm line and she looked at me with one big, purple iris. "Reikon," I said, and she simply nodded at me.

We proceeded to walk towards our destination. "So, are we really going to go along with this?" asked Sebone with a small frown on her face. "Well, can you think of any other options?" 'JUST KILL THEM ALL!' I instinctively rub my temples again. She looked at her feet and scowled a little. She glanced up at me again. "Can't we just run away? By the time they notice, we'll be long gone" "Where would we go? Plus, we have a mission to complete," I stated as she looked at the pavement in defeat. Then, I saw it in the distance, a building that loomed over the rest. It looked like a massive glass 'H' from whatever way you looked at it. We stopped at the gates of the massive building and marveled at the sheer size of it. "I guess she didn't lie when she told us it was the greatest in the country," Sebone stated. This was it. Somehow, I still had a chance of achieving my dream, and this was the best way to do so, even if our admittance wasn't the most pleasant. We stepped through the gate and began walking into U.A., the best hero school in the country.

This is our Hero Academia.


Everything's fine now! Why? Because I am here! It feels good to be back. Sorry for the lack of updates for the 'Prince of God'. I just felt as though I wasn't creative enough to come up with a proper story-line without it being too ridiculous. Plus, SAO is kinda dead. I'm probably going to discontinue that story in favour of writing this.

So, what did you think of this story? What's going on? This story takes place several years before Izuku's story. You'll notice the changes because they will be obvious. More crime, the heroes in canon will be younger, etc. Can anyone guess what Shōkan's quirk is? Hint: It's somewhat similar to Dark Shadow and it is one of my favourite cartoon villains ever. Tell me what you guys think of this fanfic and leave a review. Don't forget to send me your OC's and I hope you enjoy "In His Blood". Next chapter is the first day of U.A. and the introduction of class 1-A! I hope you'll enjoy this (hopefully better) fanfic of mine. Next Chapter will be up in the next few hours/days.

I will see you guys in the next chapter,
