The Miko Hero

Chapter One: Neighbors

Midoriya Izuku was three years old when a new neighbor moved into their apartment complex. He and his mother were coming home from the grocery store when they saw a moving truck in front of their building and saw a woman with a small child standing outside. They watched as the movers carried their boxes up the stairs into their complex.

The small child that stood with the woman had shoulder length black hair and was clutched to the skirt of her mother as she pressed herself to her side. She appeared to be very shy and a bit scared. This was probably a new experience and new neighborhood for her, Izuku thought.

When the other woman heard footsteps approaching their direction, she turned and saw the two Midoriyas walking their way. "Oh, hello," she pleasantly greeted them with a kind smile. "Do you live here too?"

Midoriya Inko nodded her head while returning her smile. "Yes, we live in apartment 423," she replied.

The woman got a sparkle of excitement to her eye. "Oh! My daughter and I just moved into 424. It's nice to already meet our neighbor," she told them excitedly. "We were hoping to greet you guys after the boxes were dropped off in our room, but it's a pleasant surprise we could run into you guys so soon."

Inko continued to smile at the excited woman in front of her. She seems rather kind and Inko wouldn't mind having a female friend to hang out with. Ever since her husband went overseas, she has been needing to focus all her time on Izuku, not because he was a handful, but because she always tends to worry about her only son. With all her time being focused on him, she hasn't really been pushing herself to go out and meet new friends, but even though she has just met her new neighbor, they hit it off pretty quick. As the movers continued to move their boxes, the two of them began to talk about their interests and other funny stories they had. The two children watched as their parents laughed together and seemed to have a great time.

While his mom was occupied, Izuku decided to get a good look at the other girl still holding onto her mother's skirt and hiding her face. He watched as the girl tried to get a good look of him as well before ducking behind her mom again. Izuku smiled wide as he thought today would be a good day to make another friend. He's been hanging around Kacchan and trying to become friends with him, but so far he's had no luck to get the other boy's attention.

Izuku got the courage to walk over to the girl and held out his hand. "Hello, my name is Midoriya Izuku," he greeted her with a huge smile.

The girl was still a bit unfamiliar with the area which made her a bit scared to leave her mom's side, but she still couldn't help but return a smile to the cheerful boy who was waiting for her reply. "I'm Kagome…" she muttered softly.

Izuku's smile grew at getting an answer from the shy girl. "Where are you from, Kagome?" he asked another question. It took the girl some time to get the courage to answer back, but eventually, she got a little more comfortable with him. Izuku continued to chat with the girl, who would softly answer back and sometimes ask questions of her own.

Inko noticed her little boy getting to know the girl who had finally let go of her mom's leg and began to talk more to Izuku. "Minako," she whispered to the other mother. "Look at them. Isn't that so cute."

Minako, the name of Kagome's mother, also looked over the two and got hearts in her eyes as she took out a random camera and began taking pictures of the two. "Aww, Kagome's first friend," she gushed as she continued to snap more pictures. "I was worried she was going to be lonely to have to leave her friends back at home, but it's great she's already met someone here." Inko nodded in agreement, Izuku didn't have many friends either, so she was glad they got such nice neighbors, and it was lucky that one of them was a kid Izuku's age.

After their initial meetings, the neighbors became fast friends. They would often host dinners together since they both found out neither of them lived with their husbands. Inko's husband was on a long-term trip around the world and Minako's husband had past away shortly after Kagome was born. The two mothers would share many stories with each other as their children played together.

Kagome was still shy and quiet for a long time, but eventually, she began to get used to the town and area that she began to get out of her shell. She currently sat with Izuku as the two of them watched All Might on television. The both had stars in their eyes as they saw him rescue multiple people from a monster. His signature laugh rang out in the room as the two children mimicked him with a huge smile on both of their faces.

Minako and Inko both took out cameras as they took pictures of the two of them bonding. It had become a common thing for the two of them to gush over their children and share photos with each other. They even had a picture of the two of them in matching All Might onesies as they pretended to be him and save their stuffed animals from danger.

After the break was over, Izuku had to go back to preschool. He hadn't seen Kacchan (a nickname he gave to Bakugou Katsuki) since Kagome had arrived, getting too preoccupied with his new friend—an actual friend, someone who wanted to walk side-by-side with him and not just have him walk behind them.

Izuku was also neighbors with Kacchan, they weren't next door neighbors like he was with Kagome, but he lived nearby on the same street. Throughout their break, the other boy never bothered to come over to wonder how he was doing or why he hasn't been following him around lately.

Izuku knew he followed the other boy around a lot (even sometimes when the other boy didn't even know he was there) and would try to push himself into the other boy's circle of friends, so the Bakugou probably still didn't see him entirely like a friend and more like a stalker.

He admired the other boy and looked at him as a goal for the future, but Bakugou just looked down on him, he looked down on everyone. Kacchan knew he was good at many things (if not everything) so everyone else was but a pawn to him. Izuku already knew this, but if it meant being the boy's friend, he didn't mind being a pawn in his eyes.

Even though Kagome didn't treat him at all like Kacchan, and he did value her friendship, he still wanted to be the other boy's friend too. It was going to be hard to do, but he was going to continue to try his best. All Might never gave up on anything so why should he?

After getting out of bed, Izuku ran downstairs to sit down for his breakfast with his mom. They had a nice conversation before he had to go back upstairs to do his bathroom things before preparing his bag for school. He didn't need to bring much, just a few pencils, his hero notebook, and his All Might figurine he liked to carry with him for good luck.

He was tying his shoes when he heard footsteps quickly approaching him before his front door opened, revealing a very excited Kagome standing in the doorway. "Izu-chan!" she shouted as she ran to him and started jumping with excitement. "Guess what? Guess what?"

Izuku was confused about why she was so excited. "What?"

"I'm going to school with you! We're going to be classmates!" she excitedly told him. After absorbing in the information, Izuku joined in with Kagome's excited jumping. This meant he will finally have a friend in his class, he won't have to sit alone anymore!

All these months of sitting by himself during playtime or snack time while all the other kids would play and hang out together, he would be writing in his hero book. But now with Kagome coming to his class, Izuku began to picture all the fun they could have and the other kids would stop making fun of him for being alone.

There was another knock on the door before Kagome's mom opened it. "Kagome, I still need to do your hair," her mom said while holding a brush and hair ties. "I'm sure Izuku needs to get ready as well."

Kagome puffed out her cheeks cutely. "I'm sure Izuku wouldn't mind. We're going to be classmates, mama!"

Her mother chuckled. "Yes, and you're going to be late to school if you don't let me do your hair. Now let's go back so you can finish your breakfast and get dressed."

"OK!" Kagome ran back out the door to go back to their apartment.

Kagome's mom chuckled at her excited daughter and turned back to Izuku. "Sorry about Kagome bothering you in the middle of packing, Izuku."

Izuku shook his head. "It's alright! I'm always happy to see her!" Minako-san chuckled and left to go back to her apartment.

Izuku heard his mom leave her room. "Who was that, Izuku?" his mom asked.

Izuku turned to his mom with his eyes shining with excitement. "Mom, guess what? Kagome is going to be going to school with me!"

Inko clapped her hands together. "That's wonderful news, Izuku! You're going to have so much fun with her."

Izuku bounced up and down in his chair. "Yeah! I'm so excited!" Inko chuckled at her happy son. It was always nice to see him this way. She's noticed that whenever he came back from school, he's always been a little sad. She was beginning to wonder if he had any friends to play with, but with Kagome around, she was reassured he would at least have one.

Once Izuku was done grabbing his things, he waited outside of his apartment for his mom and Kagome and Higurashi-san so that they could all walk to school together.

He heard the door next to him open and saw Kagome in his school's uniform and cute pink kitty backpack on her back. "Izuku!" she yelled as she gave him a big hug.

Minako chuckled as she locked the apartment door. "You act like you haven't seen him in forever even though you just saw him a few minutes ago."

Kagome continued to hold onto Izuku, who was blushing and really fluster from her being so close. "But mom, it does feel like forever!" Inko came out of the door chuckling at what she said and locked the door to their apartment.

Minako held out her hand for Kagome to take while Inko did the same for Izuku. "Come. We don't want to be late on your first day," her mom stated.

Izuku went straight to his classroom since Kagome and her mom had to go to the administrator for the preschool to make sure all her information was organized and correct. His mom assured him that she would be in the classroom soon and that he should just wait patiently for her.

Izuku didn't mind waiting usually, but knowing that he would finally have a friend in the class made him all giddy to the point he didn't' even bother writing in his notebook today. He kept thinking about all the fun he would have with Kagome and the things they could play with when they got to have free time and go outside.

He had been worried for a while now that he would never have a friend in school… Well, besides Kacchan, but he didn't really want to hang out with him like Kagome did. Izuku would follow Kacchan around, but the best response he would get from the other boy was not being told to leave or just allowing him to be there with his little group. The other boy never expressed an interest in his presence all that much; and at the time, Izuku didn't mind so long as the boy let him stay close to his group of friends.

There was a slap on his desk that made him jump from the loud noise. "Deku, why aren't you writing in your notebook today, nerd?" Katsuki asked with his usual abrasive tone.

Deku was a name Katsuki began calling him when he had learned to read kanji. He told his other friends that Izuku could be read another way that meant "useless" and ever since that day everyone began calling him Deku. Izuku didn't like the name calling very much, but there wasn't a lot he could do about it since Kacchan was the one who started it, all the other neighborhood boys looked up to the blond and would copy whatever he did.

Izuku began fiddling with his hands and not looking the other boy in the eyes. "I-I didn't feel like writing in it today. I'm too excited about something," he told the other boy.

Katsuki gave him a curious look. 'Too excited? Usually when he's excited about something hero related he would be writing that sort of thing down in his notebook.' Despite his young age, Bakugou Katsuki was rather bright about many things. He was smart, outgoing, and was rather good at everything he did, which included reading people. 'If he isn't excited because of a hero, then it must be something else,' he thought.

The two teachers stood at the front of the classroom and clapped their hands together with excitement as they addressed the class with happy smiles on their faces. "OK, class! We have exciting news!"

Upon hearing their announcement, Izuku began to become even giddier as a huge smile began to form on his face, already anticipating on what they were going to say. Bakugou stood next to him and gave him a curious side-glance.

"We have a new student coming in today so please welcome her with huge smiles and open arms, everyone!" the teachers stated with huge smiles themselves. The class began to get excited about the new student. Some girls began to talk and were wondering if the new girl wanted to play dolls or house with them, which the other boys were curious about what she looked like an where she was from.

There was a soft knock at the door and one of the teachers went over to open it for the new student. Everyone watched as a little girl with shoulder-length black hair and wearing their blue uniform walked in, gripping her pink backpack with nervousness. The female teacher directed her to the front of the room as the male teacher wrote her name on the board. "Everyone this is Higurashi Kagome and she will be a new student in our class."

Kagome bowed to everyone. "H-hello," she greeted, her nerves shaking her voice as she spoke.

"Does anyone have any questions for her?"

A girl raised her hand. "Where are you from?" she asked.

"My mom and I lived up north on a shrine, but we decided to move to the city," she stated. There were a few more questions, and as she began to get more comfortable answering them, she got more lively with her answers.

A boy in the back raised his hand this time. "Who's your favorite hero?"

After gaining confidence while answering the other questions, Kagome decided to strike a hero pose and and shout, "All Might!" At her yell, the class burst into a cheer since many of them looked up to the hero. The teachers had to calm down the class as the kids began to yell All Might's moves and talking about his latest fights on TV. Kagome was slightly embarrassed that she had caused such a riot on her first day, but she was also happy to see many All Might fans since that meant she could talk to many of them about him.

As the class was in hysterics over the number one hero, she decided to take the time to look around at the students and found Izuku in the crowd. "Izu-chan!" she shouted as she fast-walked to him and threw her arms around his shoulder. "I'm glad we have the same class together," she stated as she rubbed her cheek on his head, embarrassing him as everyone began to turn to them.

The other kids began to mutter about how the "loner boy" in class got the attention of the new kid.

"They know each other?" one person whispered over to their friend.

"Where did they meet?" another whispered.

"I didn't know he had friends."

Many kids began to whisper to each other about them. Midoriya began to fidget under their gaze as his new friend continued to hug him.

Kagome looked up at the teachers. "Can I sit next to my friend? Pleeeease?" she begged while giving her puppy eyes that always worked on her mom. The adults couldn't hold in a squeal as they gushed over how cute she was and agreed to her request.

Once everything was settled, the kids sat in their seats—Kagome to Midoriya's right and Bakugou behind him. Since it was preschool, they didn't learn much except simple things, like addition, subtraction, and some easy vocab, before they had show-and-tell and break time where they got to play with the toys around the room.

Kagome got to play dollhouse with some girls and even a boy who really enjoyed making the rooms look nice and dressing up the dolls in fancy clothes. She would also go and hang out with Izuku and the two of them would play with the two All Might figurines he had brought with him.

Some other kids would see their figurines and get interested and decide to come over to ask if they could hold his figurines. The close proximity of the other students made Midoriya nervous and fidget because he wasn't used to getting attention. When it was just him during break time, he never bothered to bring out his All Might toys and would instead decide to write in his book the whole time; but now that Kagome was here with him, she seemed to have an easier time making friends and attracting people to her.

Bakugou came over and grabbed the figure from his hands without even asking. "What is this, nerd?" he asked as he looked at the figure. "You didn't have this edition last time I saw you," he stated while turning the figure in his hands to look at all of the details.

Midoriya looked at the boy, a bit nervous he may damage his new All Might toy. "M-my mom got it for me when we went to the store," he told the boy. He reached out to the blond. "Um… may I have it back. It's really new and I don't want it to get damaged."

"Hah?" Bakugou looks insulted. He gripped the figure in his hands. "You think I would break your stupid toy?"

Midoriya began to look scared. From the times he had been following the other boy, Midoriya did notice that Bakugou was a bit harsh with everything he did, but the other boy didn't seem to see that. Midoriya watched as his prized figurine was being crushed a bit in the other boy's hand as the other boy got angrier. He really didn't want the toy his mom just bought him to be destroyed, but he didn't have the confidence to stand up to the other boy.

A shadow fell over Midoriya's sitting form and stood protectively in front of him. With her hands on her hips, Kagome stood strong against the presence of the blond that seemed to scare even older kids, but this young girl didn't seem fazed by him at all. "Hey, give it back to him. He said he wanted it back," she verbally fought back.

Bakugou was a bit taken back at first by the demand but then got a smirk on his face. "What was that?" He threateningly stepped forward to try to imitate her.

His attempts to scare her didn't work as she took his challenge and stepped forward with confidence and butted heads with him. "I said. Give. It. Back," she restated sternly.

The other kids watched as the well known tough boy in class and the new girl began to share a heated exchange. Everyone could see the sparks in between their intense gazes.

The teachers eventually saw that two of their kids were "play-fighting" and decided to break it up. The female teacher clapped her hands together to get the children's attention. "Come on, children. Break time is over. We will have another one soon, but first we need to do a few more math problems," the female teacher said kindly. "Bakugou, can you please hand Midoriya his toy back and go sit down?"

The boy reluctantly threw the toy back at Izuku, who struggled a bit to catch it and make sure it didn't drop and get damaged. Bakugou shot Kagome one last glare before heading to his seat.

Ever since that day, Kagome and Bakugou seem to never get along. The more Bakugou would pick on Midoriya, the more Kagome had to defend him from the blond. He would occasionally pick on her too, but she was a fighter and never took his assaults sitting down. Their rivalry became infamous in the classroom ever since that first meeting.
