"-our clans are known for producing the highly known team, InoShikaCho… Right now, our fathers still retain that name and with that in mind…"
-.-
"The symbol of my clan is the bush clover, with that in mind…" Ino slammed her poster onto the podium with an expression of utmost determination. "Lespedeza! Until that time comes to take over my father position in InoShikaCho!"
"Marvelous! A perfect way to pay homage to your clan!" Midnight wiped away tears from a handkerchief before she clapped with approval. "I approve!"
Ino let out a tired sigh, her smile only seemed to intensify her mood. She gave a short bow before she walked back to her seat, while ignoring her new classmates. From the back of her mind, she felt her mind suddenly become heavy. As much she want's to take over her family's legacy, she knows she's not personal ready for that responsibility.
It was only when she felt a strong arm guiding her back to her seat was when Ino mind snapped back to reality. She let out a smile to Shikamaru as he made sure she got back to her seat safely. "Thank you Shika."
Shikamaru gave her a thumbs up before he headed up towards the front of the class with a grumble and a poster board of his own. "What a drag… first day here and this crap."
Shikamaru's comment many to question his motives while a certain few couldn't help but smirk.
Lazily, Shikamaru placed the poster board on top of the podium for everyone to see what he wrote on it. If people were not questioning the Nara's motives then, they are most likely are right now. The only thing that is on his board… looked to be a cloud. "Cloud Watcher."
"Oh? What made you think up that name?" Midnight asked, perplexed with the name.
"Cloud watching. I like to go cloud watching."
"Taking into account of your clan's background and I take it your are training to take over your father's hero name?" Midnight asked, placing one hand on her hip and the other pointing at Shikamaru with one of her various weapons.
"…Yes."
"I approve! Welcome Cloud Watcher!"
Shikamaru grumbled under his breath as the class clapped at the announcement of his hero-name. Even if it meant it was only temporarily. He would have preferred to call himself Fawn... but that is a name reserved for only certain people to call him as such. Walking back to his seat, he made eye-contact with a classmate that has competitive red eyes. The other guy attempted to glare down at him from his seat but the Nara only let out a yawn before making his way back to his own seat. That only seemed to anger the ash blond to no end.
"Going up, Choji?" Shikamaru asked his friend, as he took his seat.
"I think so…" Choji stood up and almost timidly walked up towards the front of the classroom. Several of his new classmates had to redo their hero names until Midnight approved of it. Looking down at his name before he showed it to the entire class. "Shoku. This plays along with my clan's known quirk and massive food chain."
"Another homage to one's family, this is just making me sentimental… I approve!"
-.-
Shikamaru leaned against his chair with his arms crossed over his chest. He ignored the fact how some purple haired gremlin is staring at Ino, who is sitting on top of the Nara's desk, while Choji had pulled up a chair to sit next to him. Nothing out of the norm for the three. The three had known each other since they were in diapers, sticking together due to family traditions and well… the three tolerated each other enough to not kill or main the other… to a point.
"Sadly, K.S.A. is on the bottom of the list of being rebuilt of our home village. Understandably so… Our families wanted to ensure we still received a good education and get out minds off what had happened." Ino wept, Shikamaru and Choji internally applauded their friend's performance. She wasn't exactly lying or telling the truth either, but everyone appeared to be eating up everything she was saying. "Since U.A. is such an amazing school and hearing that our savior is here, none of us could have passed up the opportunity."
'Oh kami…' Shikamaru couldn't help but inwardly shake his head at how Ino was just now was now overdoing the story.
"What are you guy's quirks?"
'Straight to the point, eh?' Shikamaru thought, he looked around to see everyone in the class and even the teacher, who is still in that yellow sleeping bag, staring at them. "Eh… too troublesome to say."
"Is every-fucking-thing troublesome?" The Ashy Blonde, Katsuki Bakugo, Shikamaru was told to be by the spiky-tooth redhead, Eijiro Kirishima, to be careful of.
"Yeah." Shikamaru responded with a deadpanned expression, only causing Katsuki to show his annoyance at the response he was given. This caused several of his classmates to nervously looked between them while one or two couldn't help but laugh. That laughter only seemed to intensify when the Nara leaned back in his chair and close his eyes, soft snores only seemed to show his disinterest on the entire conversation.
"Haha, wow… Now I've seen everything." Pink hair'ed girl, Mina Ashido, laughed. "Bakugo just got told."
"Did he…FUCKING ASSWHOLE WAKE-UP!"
Shikamaru didn't bother to open his eyes again, using his quirk, he could tell Bakugo is trying to get to him but Eijiro and Denki Kaminari were holding him back. He did take note how the rest of their classmates were trying to convince the vicious blonde from attacking him, but it appeared everything went in from one ear to another. Why does this scene seem so familiar to him?
Oh right… It was normally him and Choji holding back someone before they did something stupid. Namely Naruto or Ino…. More times Ino than anyone else.
"Shikamaru… what did I tell you about pissing off someone on the first day…?"
Oh, that sickenly sweet voice that promises future pain…
-.-
Shikamaru grumbled as he rubbed his head where Ino had slammed the spine of a book onto. It was lunch time and some of his classmates had invited them to eat with them. So far, the only one that seemed tempting is with Izuku, despite the fact the kid has a tendency to mutter off into space, the kid knows his stuff.
Ino decided to hang out with the other girls, something about wanting to know the latest gossip and who knows what else.
As for Choji, he's actually started to talk to Koji Koda and Rikido Sato. Judging how their conversations is going, Shikamaru has nothing to worry about them. That's good to know.
Everything seems… to be getting along well…
"Nara-san! Have you looked over the list Aizawa-sensei gave you?" Tenya Iida stated out in a professionally tone, fixing his glasses as he watched the new kid lazily looked up at him.
"Yeah… I already picked one out." Shikamaru shrugged in an uncaring manner. To be truthful, before his school got blown up, everyone in his class already picked their places where they planned to do their week-long apprenticeships. His first choice, clearly gone… so now to his second choice. However,… no one needs to know that. "Endeavor Hero Agency."
Pause…
"What…" New voice, Shikamaru turned his head to see the kid that sits in front of him, Shoto Todoroki, staring at him with a look of disbelief. This only seemed to intensify as Izuku also seemed to be giving him a similar looked.
"My dad's agency got destroyed… they guy, Endeavor, owes my dad several favors…"
"Are you tell us… Your father!" Tenya didn't bother to hide his shock. "Blackmailed him to take you in?"
Shikamaru only shrugged. "It was either him or the Best Jeanist. But that means dealing with Ino too as she signed up to be in his agency for the week. I know the guy uses her family's flower shop whenever he plans on doing huge projects."
"What about Choji?" Izuku asked, taking in all the information he was being given.
"Hm… He's still thinking on his." Shikamaru shrugged, he continued on walking while ignoring the looks his classmates were shooting his way.
"
-.-
"Who do you like more, Shikamaru or Choji? You seemed awfully close to the both of them?" Mina nudged Ino with her elbow while wiggling her eyebrows at the blond.
Ino nose scrunched up at het question. "I love the both of them equally. I see them as my brothers."
"Leave it alone, Mina." Tsuyu warned Mina for what seemed like the hundredth time that past half hour alone. The girls of Class 1-A have decided to get together to get to know their new classmate, away from they eyes and ears of the males of their class. Mainly away from the perverts. "You heard what they said. Their families worked together for several generations."
Ino threw Tsuyu a thankful smile. "Thank you, Tsuyu. Plus, right now love is on the bottom of my list right now."
"That's understandable." Toru motioned her arms around to emphasize her words.
"Yamanaka-san-"
"Just call me Ino."
"Ino… Okay! Then you could call me Ochaco then."
"Tsuyu."
"Momo."
"Mina!"
"Kyoka."
"Toru."
"Now that we got introductions out of the way… Tell us about your quirk!"
"Mina…"
"What? I know all of you are thinking the same thing?" Mina stated with a shrug, she turned her attention back on Ino when none of her friends didn't say anything else. "What did you do to Izuku?"
"Ah… that…" Ino took hold of her pony tail and ran her fingers through her hair. Her expression showed indifference, making some of the girls shift nervously in their seats. "I guess I might as well… Mind transfer. I could transfer my mind into someone else and take control of their bodies… read their minds… and so on. Highly known within my clan."
"I've heard as such, you don't have to answer if it sounds to personal, is it your mind or soul?" Momo asked, leaning closer towards Ino. "Mother and Father have made past mentions of your clan's quirk. There is still a round about debate on that aspect."
"Now, now. Number one rule of K.S.A. is to keep your quirk under wraps to surprise the villains~" Ino waved off Momo's question. "Considering a lot of people know my clan's quirk, I have to keep everything on the hush, hush so no can use it against us."
"Of course!" Momo clapped her hands together, nodding in agreement. She started to bounce in her seat. " Now… I heard the Yamanaka Clan is highly known for their floral arrangements!"
"Now that! We can talk freely about!" Ino copied Momo's movement, both of them now bouncing in their seats.
-.-
Crunch.
Munch.
Sip.
Repeat.
"Food here is good."
"Yeah. Lunch Rush's food is always good."
-Nod-
-.-
Once again… everything seemed to go by peacefully.
Shikamaru hates it. One side of him, the one before he was put upon so much responsibility, seeing destruction and… death. No one in the room seemed to have a care in the world, all of them wanting to continue onto their dreams and nothing more. He really wanted to go back to when he was able to walk through the Nara Forest with his father, feeding the deer or a time when he and his friends pull pranks on the villagers that even remotely pulled a face at one of his best friends.
A simpler time.
Slam!
"I declare a match on who can eat the most beef!"
"Bring it!"
"Wait until after school, Choji." Shikamaru called out from his seat, causing everyone to do a double take. The guy still has his eyes closed, appears to not pay attention to anything or anyone around him. It was only when Choji declared a food way against Rikido is when he decided to pay attention to his surroundings.
"A delay on the match until after school!"
"Agreed!"
"It could be due to his Quirk." Izuku mumbled, he pulled out one of his many journals and began to look for the section he wrote about the InoShikaCho, to be more precise, Shika. "That their quirks allows them to manipulate Shadows or possible darkness. That despite the not seeing their shadows, they can see where or who it connects too."
"…That's a lot of information, Izuku…"
-.-
"This is actually… amazing…" Shikamaru scanned through the journals Izuku had brought along with him that day. Meaning, all of them. The amount of detail and notes the messy green head wrote down made the Nara wonder about the teen's ability to be able to figure out everything just by seeing things from a distance, word of mouth or even going up against someone.
Izuku beamed at the compliment he received for his journals. "Thank you!"
"Shikamaru! Let's go! We have to get groceries and Choji still needs to defend his family's honor."
"What a drag, do you guys want to come?"
"Okay, what do you think Ten-Tenya? Where'd he go?" Izuku looked around to see that it was only Shikamaru, Shoto, Ochaco, and himself left with Tenya nowhere in sight.
Shikamaru debated on whether or not he should say something about his fellow classmate. After hearing what had occurred to the class rep's older brother, of course the guy is… off. Seeing as Izuku is mentally debating on what he should do or possibly say, he might as well say something. "You know what's wrong with him… talk to him."
Without saying another word, Shikamaru turned and followed after Ino who is cheering on Choji as several of their other classmates followed to see who could devour the most beef in one setting. He turned around to see Izuku, Ochaco and Shoto were whispering to each other before they quickly followed him.
To be continued…
