When It All Comes Crashing Down
For as long as I can remember, I've always been called dangerous.
To make matters worse, the light I looked up to vanished.
Nine years ago: Naha, Okinawa
"Oi look! It's the loser again!"
A group of five elementary school kids stomped over to where seven year old Seishin Nagare was sitting on the play ground swings. Her head whipped around, dark golden eyes going wide with fear as she jumped off the swing set and faced them. The kids were lead by a school mate of hers; a boy named Jamamura Tenjin who's a year younger than her. His side kick, Hiyama Kado was there two. Even though he and Nagare are the same age, he follows Jamamura like a puppy. Both of them have rather strong Quirks. Nagare quickly hid behind a tree with tears forming in her eyes as the group advanced. They surround her, sneering like animals at the black haired girl.
"What you think you're doing?" Jamamura retorted, his yellow-green serpentine eyes glaring down at her. "This is my playground and dummies like you hafta go away!"
"B-but this is a public area. Anyone i-is allowed."
"No it's not! This is my playground dummy!"
Jamamura reached out and grabbed her by the hair, yanking her out from behind the tree and pushing her onto the ground. She let out a cry when the right side of her head hit a rock and the gash started to bleed. Again the kids grouped around her, snickering like hyenas.
"You get lost loser before we kick you out."
"This place d-doesn't belong to you Jamamura."
The younger boy punched her right in the face. "You shut up dummy! This is my playground! And your dad sucks as a Hero!"
The other kids joined in kicking, punching and pulling her hair. Nagare curled up into a ball the best she could to protect her face as her tears smeared the dirt and blood. Her heart raced from fear. Terror filled her veins more because she doesn't know how to control her Quirk yet.
Stop it.
She gasped for air when one of the kids kicked her in the stomach.
Stop it...
Another managed to get her in the nose.
Stop it...
Someone stomped hard on her left hand, but not enough to break it.
"Stop it!"
A powerful burst of energy erupted from Nagare, knocking the kids back. A few of them got injured and the worst of it was Jamamura with a broken arm and possible concussion. Nagare stood up, looking more like a demon than a child. The kids were frozen in fear as golden energy swirled around her and rocks of different sizes floated above them. Upon her forehead was the source of her power; an extra vertical eye with the sclera being pitch black, glowing white iris and a blue pupil retracted to a thin slit. A crescent line cut right through it horizontally with the ends pointing upwards. Two lines, one on either side, curved along the outside of the third eye with two small black circles on the right and three on the left.
It wasn't until some of the children's mothers showed up after hearing the commotion at the park from a few others that Nagare reverted back to normal; her bangs covering up her forehead. The parents and the bystanders all look just as terrified as the kids when they saw the damage that was done. They called her a monster, horrified that she would just attack her school mates. She cowered where she stood and covered her ears to block out the nasty remarks.
It wasn't my fault it wasn't my fault it wasn't my fault it wasn't...
She didn't look up when she heard her mother's voice calling out to her through the sea of hateful words. Pale green haired, liquid gold eyed Shizuka, formally Iyasu, worked as a part time doctor and support Hero thanks to her special healing Quirk.
"It's alright Nagare. I'm here now," her mother said softly as she knelt down next to her daughter. "You didn't do anything wrong. If someone else was in your position they would have done the same."
The little girl said nothing as her mother placed a hand on her temple and the wound began to heal. The Iyasu are just some of the few people that have high quality healing Quirks. Shizuka's is called Heal Touch and she can use her own stamina to heal things from small cuts and bruises to rupture organs and broken bones, leaving only faint scars behind. Unfortunately, she can't cure diseases and she's limited to how much in a day she can use her Quirk before her own body feels the pain. Also the Quirk doesn't work on herself. Nagare's older sister Nishizu has something similar, but it's with her shimmering light green hair that can heal in the same manner as their mother. That's called Doc Hair. Nagare takes after her father.
"Let's go home and get you cleaned up. I'll buy you an ice pop on the way okay?"
Nagare nodded and stood up with her mother. Her Quirk is known as Destroyer's Eye, the same as her father and his father and nearly everyone else of the Seishin family. Opening the Eye allows her to use powerful psychic abilities in the form of Gates that appear as the circles next to the extra eye. The higher the number, the stronger the Gate and the more strain it puts on her mind and body. Her father has never taught her to use the last two Gates of the six.
The first one of the power was the son of a monk and priestess named Koryu who born a little while after the first Quirk discovery. When he used the full ability of the Destroyer's Eye, he feared the destructive power and forbade his descendants to never open the last two Gates. Just as her father is teaching her not to. Her power awakened around the same age as any other Quirk kids when she was playing with her father who was making himself and other objects float around as he always did. She got all giggly and excited which made the eye appear, already opened and she started floating. The rapid growth of her power worried her father greatly and he was very careful in teaching her how to use it.
As they walked down the streets with Nagare eating her strawberry ice pop, there were a few people muttering about the incident and how it was disgraceful that the daughter of a well known pro Hero and semi-pro Hero would act out like a wild animal. Nagare clutched her mother's hand tighter. Shizuka always stayed calm and collected, not little even the littlest annoyances bother her. But Nagare saw something in her mother's eyes that she didn't understand.
"There's my little dragon!"
Her father, Seishin Kotatsu better known as the Gentle Hero Mind man, was a 200cm tall loud, boisterous but caring man. Nishizu has his dark grey eyes instead of their mother's like Nagare. He picked up his youngest daughter when she walked in the single story house close to the beach and gave her a big bear hug as she looked away with her head down.
"Oi oi oi what you sad about huh? There's nothing to cry over!"
"B-but Papa..."
"But nothing!"
"Excuse me Kotatsu-san."
Nagare looked behind her father where the principal of her school stood with a very unpleasant look on his weasel like face. She felt her heart drop. She's in serious trouble now. Kotatsu put his daughter down with an angry sigh and went back to the living room with Shizuka. Nagare's older sister by seven years ran towards her and hugged her careful, her pale hair protectively coiling around the younger girl before leading her down the hall to their room. But the dark haired girl stopped in the doorway to listen to what the principal had to say.
"I respect you greatly Kotasu-san as do many other citizens here. But your daughter...well your daughter can't control her Quirk. Many parents called me with complaints. Today's incident-"
"Let me stop you right there Sensei," Kotatsu said in a stern voice that Nagare hardly ever hears. "My daughter acted out of fear for her life, not because she wanted to. Those kids were bullying her. Don't tell me you would have just sat there and took the beating like a coward."
"Kotatsu-san, children were hurt because your daughter attacked them. She lost control of her Quirk and attacked innocent children. She needs to be taught properly."
"You saying I don't know how to raise my own daughter?"
"That's not what I'm saying. She's dangerous to her school mates and if nothing is done, she could end up killing someone."
"Sensei Nagare would never-"
Kotatsu quickly stood, his gaze dangerously dark. "Get out of my house now."
"If I offended you in any way, I apologize. But this is a serious matter."
"I'm not going to let some childless principle who won't listen to what really happened tell me how to raise my own daughter. How dare you come into my home and speak about Nagare like she's an unruly dog. Get out now."
The principle quickly stood and left without another word. Nagare quietly walked towards the end of the short hallway, seeing her father angry. The only other time she's seen him like this was when he took her to Tokyo to meet some of the other Heroes. Among them was Endeavor who didn't like her father because he cared more about saving the citizens rather than defeating the Villain. She also met his son Shouto whom she became friends with. When he looked in Nagare's direction, the anger faded and it was replaced by his usual chipper face. The little girl dashed out to him and he picked her up again, rubbing his stubble cheek against hers.
"Papa am I in trouble?"
"Of course not my little dragon. He just doesn't seem to understand that you didn't do anything wrong. I think we'll finishing schooling you at home from now on."
"Honey no one's home when we're on the job," her mother stated as Nishizu joined her on the couch. "Who's going to watch her?"
"I know a few people that wouldn't mind and I'm sure your sister will love watching them. Besides it'll probably just be until she gets to high school. No trouble at all right?"
"I suppose so, but it won't be easy."
Kotatsu let out a booming laugh. "We're Heroes! Our life isn't suppose to be easy. Now let's see a big smile on your face Nagare! One like All Might's!"
Nagare smiled the biggest, goofiest smile she could, one of the last few she was ever going to have.

Fourteen months later
Nishizu and Nagare were home with their aunt on their mom's side who has a super speed Quirk watching over them. It was the weekend; their parents had the day off and were enjoying the bright sunny day at a cafe near the beach. Nagare sat in front of the TV that had a kid's game show on with scattered crayons and papers on the floor filled with doodles while Nishizu worked on a school project.
"Look at what I drew Nishi-neesan!"
Nagare nearly shoved the paper in her sister's face. Upon it was their family floating in the sky with rainbows and oddly shaped birds. Nishizu giggled and patted Nagare's head.
"Why is it you always make me look like Medusa?"
"What's a medusa?"
"She's a mythological monster that has snakes for hair."
"Maybe because your hair is green like snakes."
"That's mean."
"Why am I not in the picture Naga-chan?" their aunt asked from behind with a tray of onigiri and tea.
"You're too fast to draw."
"Hm Fair enough."
"We interrupt the regularly schedule program to bring you breaking news..."
The announcement on the TV caught all three's attention and Nagare hurried back in front of the TV where a young anchorwoman sat with the words 'breaking news' flashed on the screen. Behind her was a live shot of what looked like a crumbled and burning building. Nagare was getting excited, hoping it was another amazing victory for All Might.
"At 1:46pm, a Villain attacked Laf Cafe on the beach leaving seven people dead and nineteen injured. Among the casualties are two Heroes. Seishin Kotasu better know as the Gentle Hero Mind Man and his wife Shizuka, Lady Healer who died saving as many as they could. The Villain responsible for this has yet to be detained. Going to the scene of the crime now we have..."
Silence. Nagare just stared at the screen that had her parents smiling faces with the word 'dead' under their pictures along with the other deceased people. 1:46pm. That wasn't even thirty minutes ago. They had barely been gone for an hour. She slowly looked over with uncertain eyes at her sister who was frozen in disbelief. Their aunt was taking a call, talking in a broken voice.
"Nishi-neesan...they're lying right? Nishi-neesan?"
Her sister hurried to her side and hugged her tightly, unable to speak through heavy sobs. Tears fell down Nagare's cheeks as she went back to staring at the screen. Her parents are dead. Never coming back. Gone forever. No more floating around with her father. No more ice pops with her mother. No more going to the beach for a family picnic. it's all gone.
"M-mama...Papa!"
Tada! First chapter completed! Phew my fingers hurt...haven't typed this much this fast in awhile. So sorry for the extra reading and explaining...such a dark ending I say. Leave a review perhaps?
Ciao amici!
