Her time in this place was ending. She would lose her most precious people: the ones who bleed with her shed tears with her and survived with her. She would be losing her family and even though it hurt her; she was happy.
She had seen her two human friends fall in love with each other all over again: their children whom would become great worriers and priest/priestess, that would change the world altogether. She had seen their peaceful passing into the afterlife.
She knew that her hanyo friend would find his true love in a young village girl that would look nothing like her or her incarnation (a blessing from the Kami's). She also knew that his line would end there, for his love could not carry any child, but that would not stop them from adopting orphans as their own. They would both live a long heart-wrenching life with them outliving their children: His love would die from a broken heart, and he would follow closely behind her.
Her heart cried out the most for her son. She would once again leave him motherless and not by choice. She knew he would grow strong and loyal under the care of her human friends. He would fall in love with their only daughter only to lose her due to an illness that they could not prevent. She had seen him mourn for many years refusing to leave her grave site. He like her hanyo friend's wife, he would pass away with a broken heart.
She would mourn them all: this she knew as she stared at her family all drenched in blood from the final battle. In her hands, the complete jewel is pulsing lightly, waiting for her last moment to come to an end. She could feel tears fall down the sides of her blood-stained cheeks. She thanked the jewel quietly going to each of her family members and firmly hugging them telling them of how much she loved them and would cherish their memories; Stepping back away from her family she gave them a forlorn smile as she felt her self-fade from their time.
Kagome was four when she first saw it. A small egg about the size of her two palms, the shell was a strange silver almost metallic under the sunlight with hints of blue in it. She had stayed with it for a few hours waiting for the mama of the egg to come back. Noting that the sun was setting, and her mama would want her back before it turned dark: she made the decision to take the egg with her (hopefully mama would not be too upset).
Too much of Kagome's surprise, the egg was very lightweight. She carefully maneuvered it back home. Getting the egg past her mama was a challenge, but she had done it successfully. She carefully placed it in her bed with her covers wrapping it. Hearing her mother call for her she leaned in close to the egg almost nuzzling it.
"I'll be back I promise," She told it before heading out of her room and heading down to her mama. "Kagome dear did you have fun today?" Kunloo asks her daughter as she readied the table. She watched as her daughter nodded and smiled brightly and start to recite her day when something caught her attention. "Kagome what do you mean you found a lonely egg?" She questioned looking up from her plate. Kagome looked down sheepishly "It was outside and all alone mama, I waited for its mama I promise!" she exclaimed her small hands are clenching her skirt. "Please, can I keep him!" She requested looking up at her mother pleadingly. Kunloo bit her lip as she stared at her daughter before sighing and nodding.
It had taken three months to see any movement from the egg whom Kagome had lovingly named Jericho. Kunloo worried that the egg her daughter found had no life and did not want to hurt her daughter to badly always trying to tell her that maybe the egg was empty; which her daughter would shake her head and state that Jericho was still gaining energy to come out.
Kunloo looked over at Kagome as she heated the tea on the stove. "Kagome dear, the tea is almost ready please come to the table" She called out placing a hand on her pregnant belly as she felt little Souta move around, before moving to take the tea kettle off the stove and put it on the table.
"Mama, why don't use your quirk on Souta? Wouldn't that calm him down more?" Kagome questioned as she entered the kitchen with Jericho wrapped in a blanket across her back. Kunloo looked up from preparing the cups to her daughter. "Well, even though he could hear me a little it's not enough to affect him." She responded with a soft smile in which Kagome nodded silently too.
It was on Kagome's fifth birthday that Jericho had finally emerged from his egg. Unlike other baby birds that usually didn't have feathers on them, Jericho was fully feathered. His head, neck along his chest and legs were covered in white feathers while is his back and wings were an almost raven black.
Kagome could not help the coo in her voice as Jericho shook off the remains of his egg. Once he finished, he looked up at his 'mother' causing her to gasp in amazement. His iris was a light gray while his sclera was a bright red. Jericho cooed at his mother hopping slightly closer to her. Kagome's smile widens as she let her fingers lightly brush against his feathers.
He was the greatest gift she had ever received. Jericho nips her fingers in agreement.
Kagome is nine when she starts to remember events that couldn't have possibly have happened to her. She knows it's her due to the starburst scar the older version of her carries on her hip. She also comes to terms that her Quirk is not just hers but also that of what she carries in her; A jewel that could hurt many people. Her dreams tell her all she needs to know about it. The object while small was warp with great ill-intent it could manipulate those that could hear it's call.
It's because of her dreams that Kagome knows she must guard the object without question. So, she starts to train her quirk one that she still believes the jewel has changed. Her shields are small and almost translucent easily breakable. Kagome is not discouraged; her dreams tell her that she will get better to the point that the barrier will be solid and as large as she needed them to be.
It's when her brother breaks his leg that Kagome realizes that she has another quirk (one of the jewels she is sure of this). She can heal her brother's leg like nothing ever happen. It's her brother's startled gasp that causes her to look up from her work. Her field of view is hazed over in a fog of pink.
It comes to the family's attention that Kagome's healing isn't simple mending of broken bones or superficial wounds. It had happened by accident really; they weren't expecting company when a bloodied hero was dropped off on their steps. Kagome was the first to rush out like she had done many times in her dreams.
She could feel the pink fog clouding her version as she looked at the damaged hero, taking account his matted raven hair, the white bandages wrapped loosely around his neck. Then her eyes landed on his, and a gasp fell out of lips. They were gouged out leaving only eye sockets.
Hands are trembling, she reached forward and placed her hands on the bloody mess and let her powers loose subconsciously forming a barrier around them. She could feel the pull on her being as she poured everything she had to save the hero on her steps.
The sun was bright and unforgiving as Aizawa grunted trying to pull the covers over his head only to feel resistance. He opened his eyes are bleary looked around his surrounding when he noticed a hunched over the figure on the side of the bed he was occupying. His eyes scanned the room before landing on the most peculiar bird he had ever seen. He noticed quickly that its eyes trained on his movements.
A soft groan caught his attention as he looked back down at the hunched that had started to sit up and wake up. He quickly noticed that the figured could be no older than nine or ten and was also a female. He watched the girl stretch and rubbed at her eyes before turning to look at him. He watched the girls eyes widen before a broad smile made its way to her lips.
"Your eyes are back that's wonderful!" she exclaimed clapping her hands together before moving to her window and throwing it open. Aizawa looked at her strangely before he noticed the birds hop towards her before resting on the sill of her window looking at her expectantly. "Jericho scout about and make sure the man from before is gone" She commanded her eyes hardening "If he is still lurking, go feed" and with that Aizawa saw the bird spread its wings (which almost covered the span of the window it's he noted) and fly away.
Aizawa was still confused he didn't remember how he got in this situation. The last that he could remember was that he was out on patrol then got into a fight with a villain named Predator whom he couldn't erase the quirk too. He recalled an ungodly pain in his eyes and the sensation of being lifted high in the air and then painfully crashing on the ground before blacking out.
His eyes landed on the girl as she turned to him, her smile returning. "What happened?" He asked trying to active his quirk only to have searing pain in his eyes. "You were dropped down by a Villain with your eyes missing. I did my best to heal you" She responded by grabbing a small mirror on the desk next to her and handed it over to him.
Raising the mirror, he could see the minor scarring on the skin near his eyes, yet it was his iris that genuinely startled him. They were their natural deep gray, but small flecks of pink swirled around them. Once again he tried to activate his quirk and watched as the pink became more potent in his eyes. "I can't activate my quirk"He stated as turning to face the girl and notice her winces slightly.
"Your eyes aren't healed then; When my brother broke his leg, my quirk refused to let his work till he was fully healed" She stated as she made her way back to her seat. "Did you say the Villain was still lurking?" He questioned starting to stand. He watched the girl nodded "Jericho will take care of it, the Villain can't pass my barrier" She stated not proudly or arrogant but more informative. To say that Aizawa found that fact refreshing was a lie as well as it was to see kids with strong quirks that at times weren't outright nuances that were arrogant and prideful.
A shrill whistle blew through the house shocking Aizawa even though he did not show it externally. He watched the girl stand and wait for him to get up. "Mama is calling us for breakfast; let's go before she gets impatient Head" She stated with a smile as she went to open the door.
(Six years Later)
She could feel the hum of excitement around her and Jericho; Giving off a soft whistle she felt Jericho take to the skies at her command. Making her way to the auditorium, she took a seat next to a very strict looking male. A soft smile on her lips as she greeted him only to receive a sharp nod before the boy went back to looking at the stage.
She noticed midway through the presentation a soft muttering behind her. Tilting her head back she watched a nervous boy look down muttering to himself; she quickly and quietly tapped his desk causing him to promptly stop and look at her with wide eyes and a large blush. She smiled at him before preventing the boy next to her call out the one behind her. He turned to reprimand her only to stop at her sharp glare and quickly took a seat.
At the gate she watched the strict male once again go after the green haired boy, quickly she stepped in front of him causing him to stagger back. "Why do you keep doing that! He is distracting everyone and is about to do the same to the girl over there! He does not take this exam seriously!" The male exclaimed.
Kagome stared at him with a cold glare her hip jutting to the side her fingers tapping at her hip "Did you ever think he was going to thank her? She did prevent him from falling earlier as well do you truly believe humiliating someone will get the response you want?" She questioned her voice hard. "N-No. I did not think of it that way I am truly sorry" The male stuttered back shocked and ashamed that he did not think of that possibility. Kagome's glare melted into a soft smile "Thank you for understanding; I am Kagome, Higurashi Kagome" She stated bowing her head slightly "Iida Tenya." Iida stated giving a proper bow.
Kagome's eyes widen when she saw the green haired boy fall from a destroying the final robot. She gave a shrill whistle as she quickly placed a barrier around both the captured girl and the falling boy. She watched Jericho dive down and caught the falling boy preventing him from crashing down to the ground.
She quickly made her way to them and let her healing pour into her shields healing those that were in them. One Jericho landed with the boy she prevented him from moving. "Do not worry about points; they want someone like you to be here" She stated softly seeing the boys desperate attempt to move. "Let me heal you up okay?" She asked the boy rhetorically as she felt the familiar pink haze encases her vision.
"How can you be sure that I will make it?" The boy questioned looking at her worriedly not even noting her quirk. "How can a hero course reject a person willing to risk their life for someone in danger?" She asked back giving him a warm smile.
"I-I thank you" he whimpered tears sting his eyes as he felt the cooling effect of her quirk work on his body. "No need to thank me, you did what any good hero would do" She stated finishing her healing she stood up and gave the crying boy a dazzling smile as she stretched her hand out to him. "I am Higurashi Kagome. You can call me Kagome tho" The boy gave her his bright tearful smile clasping her hand with his own.
"Midoriya Izuku, you can call me Izuku."
