A/N: This is purely self indulgent tbh. Also I just needed to do something with an old OC of mine. Also thank you to my friend Cal/Beps for betaing this!

Fuck.

Fuck, fuck, fuck!

Of all the Quirks it had to be, why did it have to be one that turned people into animals? Why couldn't it had been a Quirk that makes someone dance? Sara was really beginning to hate her decision to move back to Japan; she hadn't even been there a week and now she was a cat.

Well, she did always like cats. She supposed she could just dig around in dumpsters and ride the Quirk out. Her head down low, she made her way through the alley, hoping to find a place to get out of the rain.

Now she knew why cats hate water. Her fur was heavy, and her paws just felt weird . She sneezed and dabbed at her nose. Her heart nearly lept out of her chest when she heard a chuckle, and she whipped around. Tail sticking up and her back arched, she found herself staring into a gaunt face.

"Hello, little one," the man said. He looked like a skeleton, as if the wind could blow him away. His eyes were a deep blue, his hair wild and blond. Despite his scary appearance, his voice was so gentle. He slowly held out a hand, and she slowly stepped forward and placed a black paw in his hand. She flinched when he gently picked her up and held him close to his chest.

It was amazing how well cats could hear, his heart stuttered in his chest, and she was pretty sure hearts were not supposed to sound like that. He gently ran a hand through her fur, and suddenly he was walking. Sara slowly relaxed, despite his unnatural heartbeat it was calming, and the hand petting her was calming. She started purring, and the man chuckled.

"Don't worry, little one. We'll be home soon and I'll get you nice and warm." The man paused for a moment. His next words seemed to be at least partially for himself. "It's silly to introduce myself to a cat, I suppose, but my name is Toshinori."

He was trying to shield her from the rain, but she was still getting wet. Toshinori continued to murmur soothing words, and she found herself lost in his gentle voice. She nearly fell asleep —it was so much easier to, as a cat— but was jostled awake when he set her down on a coffee table.

She blinked and looked around —s he was inside an apartment. A really nice one. Small, but nice. Toshinori was nowhere in sight, so she busied herself with licking her paws. She really hated that they were wet. She let out a surprised chirp when something warm was wrapped around her; a towel.

"There you go, little one," Toshinori said as he picked her up again. Sara purred, pleased by the warmth and softness of the towel. He sat down on the couch, and she settled into his lap. She wished she could thank him, but as she could do was lick his bony hand. He laughed, and pulled his hand away. Oh, so he was ticklish. She laughed, or she laughed as best as she could, and the sound must have startled him because he gave her a wide eyes look.

"Strange cat," Toshinori muttered. He shifted to where he was laying down on the couch, and she on his stomach. He looked tired, as if he hadn't slept in a long while. She meowed and poked at his stomach. He scratched her behind the ear and she closed her eyes. Holy shit, no wonder cats loved this so much. Toshinori's eyes closed, and she watched as he fell asleep. She tucked her head into the towel, feeling sleepy as well.

The next moment, or it seemed like it was, she heard a strangled yell and she was flung off Toshinori. She landed on her feet and looked around, bewildered. What the fuck just happened? The room was steaming, and she watched with wide eyes as a hulking mass replaced Toshinori.

Holy shit.

Out of the steam rose All Might, his face set in a panicked expression as he gasped for breath. His usual smile was replaced by a grimace and she took a step back when he turned her way. His expression immediately softened and his form shrank to a skeletal form of Toshinori.

"Oh, little one, I'm so sorry. Are you hurt?" Toshinori asked as he approached her. He bent down, and she just stared at him.

This was All Might? The Symbol of Peace? She flinched when his hand brushed across her fur, and he gave her a sorrowful expression.

"I'm so sorry, little one," Toshinori said as he picked her up. He held her close, petting her, and whispering soft words to her.

Sara was really fucked. She was pretty sure that what she just witnessed was a huge secret. God, this was really fucked up. She wasn't meant to know this, no one was! What was she going to do? Toshinori was still trying to soothe her, so she shook her head and meowed while rubbing her face against his chest.

It's okay, All Might, I'm fine. She thought, she wished she could tell him. She was violating his privacy! She had to get the message to him somehow, that she was a human, not a simple stray cat. God, this really was fucked up. Fuck that villain for doing this, and fuck the world for having her be picked up by All Might. This wasn't fair .

Toshinori sat back down on the couch, and lurched over, and coughed into his hands. Sara smelled copper and felt her stomach drop. Toshinori was coughing up blood — what had happened to him? Why was he still doing hero work when he was coughing up blood?! She put a paw on his leg and meowed, concerned and frightened.

Finally after what seemed like ages Toshinori stopped coughing, he turned his head towards and smiled. "I'm okay, little one, don't worry about me," His hand brushed through her fur. Sara wanted to scream that people who threw up blood aren't okay, and why are you still doing hero work when you're sick?! He laughed as she meowed and chirped at him.

"You're a strange cat, little one, but there's no need to worry, why? Because I'm here," Toshinori said. His catchphrase bought no comfort to her, and she huffed and turned away; refusing to look at him. She chirped to display her irritation, and he sighed and got up. Sara watched as he walked into a room, and closed the door. She grumbled to herself, stupid stubborn men; she really wished she could punch something right now.

Sara wondered what he would do once she turned back into a human, she didn't want to stick around and wait for that to happen. She sighed and rolled onto her side, and started to plot her escape.
