My Sunshine- Chapter 9 Dirty Little Secret

The two days off were spent resting for Katsuki, he had done so much training that two days off wouldn't hurt, he held his daughter's hand as they made their way to the park to meet up with Hisana and Bya-Chan. "I don't think Jet liked your attitude at the sports festival," Yoko spoke up grabbing her dads attention, he looked down at her "and what makes you say that?" Yoko looked back up to him, "well he frowned a lot at your fights, mentioned off handed that you were over confident, tenacious but not in a good way, but it was one thing in particular he said 'wow, I would never imagine he had such anger issues after seeing how he is with little Yoko' but that's just my observations." He nodded and smiled looking down to her, "well you know what…I don't care what he or anyone else says," Yoko smiled at her dad's words; truly he was inspirational in certain ways.

The two paused when Katsuki got a text message, it was from Hisana, stating that she was all of a sudden called into work and needed to take Byakuya with her because it was so urgent, and that they would catch up another time. Yoko noticed the slight frown but Katsuki shrugged it off and asked his kid "want something to eat instead?" They made their way to the burger store that also did ice-cream and donuts, Katsuki got a spicy burger meanwhile Yoko got nuggets and chips. Once done, they got a massive pack of mixed donuts to take home like last time, Yoko carried it when they were on their way, but paused when her father's name was called out. It was a guy with red hair, Yoko remembered his name Eijiro Kirishima, "yo Bakugōu" his hand was raised in hello, "hey shitty hair, what do you want?"

Yoko was about to berate her father however the red hair teen laughed of his words and responded like normal, "actually I was just out about to grab some stuff for my mum, I was surprised to see you, didn't know you lived in the same area as I." Katsuki was a little defensive, this was a bit too close and personal for his liking "yeah and what of it, Deku also lives in the area, and Uraraka." Yoko frowned how does he know that, maybe her dad was friends with more of his class mates then he let on, "hey I'm Yoko, his little sister," she pointed to her dad.

"Oh hi, I remember you, you were in that magazine and the company were taken to court and there business went down the drain," Yoko impishly rubbed the back of her head 'oh my; he was straight forward.' "Jeeze man she's like three she aint gonna know or remember about all that shit," "so Kacchan actually has friends?" she enquired actually wanting to hear more about her father's life at school, "well he will tell you" Kirishima was interrupted by Katsuki "like hell he is" and then he continued "yeah but I like to think I am." It was followed by Katsuki calling him a "loser" Yoko rolled her eyes "you should consider yourself lucky that anyone wants to even be close to you let alone a friend, just be nice for once." "Well it's nice to meet you Yoko," Katsuki scoffed and rolled his eyes at her words, he swore she was just like his mother, "Do you wanna hang out?" Yoko invited instead of Katsuki, she noticed that Kirishima shone up once asked, "Sure what did you have in mind?" "Well I don't know about yous but I plan on playing on that play ground," Yoko pointed to it, passed the donuts to her dad and walked away, leaving the teens to talk.

They moved and sat on a bench and watched as they spoke, "so that's your little sister hey, she must be proud that her big brother won the festival," Katsuki scoffed, "I didn't win, I refuse, and Yoko is smart she knows why I don't accept it," Kirishima added "yeah, I noticed that she talked more mature then a three year old, she was the one that you kept looking too in the stands at the festival hey." Katsuki tensed lightly at Kirishima's words, "how did you know?" he was frowning as usual, it wasn't unusual for the blondie to be defensive but tensing up was a little new to Kirishima to see. "Well yeah, you looked up to the same area, I don't know if anyone else noticed but I did, plus some of us already know that you have a baby sister, its normal if you look for your family in the stands…" Kirishima paused noticing Katsuki tense up again as he couldn't see Yoko, he frowned and stood up moving around, "Yoko!" he looked around the park, his heart in his throat, Kirishima got up too and looking around.

Kirishima noticed that Yoko was running back towards the park from the road area, once he spotted her he called out "Bakugōu, here she is!" Katsuki rounded and moved to her so quickly, he hugged her so worried, "where were you!" he looked so angry and scared. Kirishima had never seen Katsuki like this before, it was an eye opener "I'm sorry, but come with me" Yoko grabbed her brothers hand and walked him back the way she came from. Once they stood in front of a water drain, they could then see why she was over here in the first place, a puppy had somehow slipped through and gotten caught, it was obvious that Yoko's arm were too short to reach. Katsuki sighed, and laid his body down in the gutter, sliding his arm into the drain and grabbing the pup by the scruff of its neck, using his other hand, to maneuver it out of the drain.

Once he got it out he noticed it was a little white fluffy pup with brown eyes and a big black nose, it actually looked like a polar bear, however it was coating in a black and brown mess, it made whimpering sounds and started licking Yoko when placed in her arms. Once up Katsuki dusted him off, Kirishima and Katsuki looked around seeing if someone had lost a puppy, it was big for a puppy surely a bigger breed dog but still; people shook their heads claiming they had no idea.

"I wonder who's he is, surely someone is missing him," Yoko mentioned also looking around, she looked up to her father to see what they are supposed to do, he frowned and looked back to his friend, "you wanna come home with us?" Again Kirishima was surprised and alight with happiness, he was still holding the pack of donuts, "yeah," they all made their way to the Bakugōu household. Once they made their way inside, Katsuki called out "mum were home, are you here?" sometimes she left for work, appointments, meet clients, see dad, see friends or lunch breaks with others. There was no one calling out, "maybe she went out," Yoko offered, as she took the pup inside, "take it upstairs and clean it, we will make flyers and take them out, see if we can find the owner."

Yoko was too happy to go up to the main bathroom and clean up the puppy, meanwhile Kirishima looked around in the main lounge room; they had a large couch, T.V. unit, fireplace with its own sitting area and a large family size bean bag that made Kirishima itch to do a stage dive onto. Katsuki did a double check to see if something had been grabbed out for dinner, meanwhile placing the donuts in a glass jar, he potted around the kitchen quickly, before going back out to Kirishima, noticing him looking at the pictures of him playing with Yoko, and feeding her when she was a baby, and her birthday images, there was a few of him when he was young with a young Midoriya, but most were off Yoko. Katsuki cleared his throat grabbing the teen's attention, "you want a drink or donut?" Kirishima "nah I'm good, say yous have a lot of pictures of your sister and you," Katsuki became defensive as usual, "what of it!" he took on a cranky face, "I guess I am still surprised to see another side of you, you really care for her, didn't know you were so close, most siblings aren't, were you happy to become a big brother?"

Katsuki hated the feeling of his walls cracking, people getting close and causing him anxiety due to him being afraid he will find out the truth, "well sure, being looked up to is awesome but when she was born she was too small and sickly so she had to stay in the hospital longer than we wanted, it was joyous occasion when came home with her, mum was tired so I helped her a lot." It was technically the truth but not entirely, "how come there are always Christmas decorations, was she born in December?" Kirishima asked "yeah, on Christmas day actually."

"Kacchan, I need your help!" Yoko's high peach voice broke through to them, they both ran up the stairs, and both Yoko and the pup were wet, she was holding what looked like a wet polar bear cub, she couldn't hold it any longer, it was big and heavy for a pup, and she needed help drying it. Katsuki instantly grabbed a towel and took the pup from her, and passing her a towel as well, she dried herself off and helped her father continue drying the pup. 10 towels later, the pup was just starting to get dry, they had to use Mitsuki's hair dryer, and Yoko's hairbrush, this helped them try and figure out what breed of puppy it was too.

"Ah it's a Samoyed," both Yoko and Katsuki looked at Kirishima in a quizzical way, wanting him to explain, "they are a snow sled dogs, like huskies but bigger and stronger, plus they stay all white with their fluffy coat, they like the cold, someone is definitely going to be missing this little guy." With a digital camera, they took a picture of the puppy and inside of his father's office, Katsuki wrote up found pictures and details, and then copied them, before they knew it they were out and about leaving the puppy home in the bathroom with food and water. It begun to get late in the afternoon, when Kirishima remembered he was supposed to buy things for his mum, "oh shit, I forgot, sorry guys I gotta go, I'll see you at school Katsuki," and like that they waved and he was gone. "he called me by my first name," Katsuki said off handed, "well yeah, friends tend to do that," Yoko offered, she noticed her dad frowning, "dad it's okay for you to have and make friends, people will believe I'm your sister, no one is going to look into it, besides you really have some serious walls up around you, maybe you should allow some people to see over them." With that she pulled him along by the hand, making their way home to check on the puppy and prepare dinner for the family.

"What the bloody hell is this" Mitsuki found her hair dryer covered in white dog hair, "Katsuki!" Yoko noticed her dad flinch, "we had to clean the puppy and his fur is like hair, so we had to blow dry it, I'll clean it later, just come and eat dinner already." She was not happy, but she did as he mentioned only because he said he would clean up after the puppy, so far no one had called the phone number provided on the found notices that the father, daughter duo strung up anywhere they could. "I think it's really nice what yous did today, helping a puppy and cleaning up and trying to find its home, don't you think honey?" Masaru spoke up but his wife grumbled under her breath. Katsuki definitely noticed that his daughter was over the moon about having a puppy in their care, even if it was temporary, she kept stating that it was so fluffy she could die, and that it was friendly and smart, she already taught him how to sit and wait.

START OF THE NEXT DAY- 1A HOMEROOM

"Hey what did you do on your days off?" Denki asked Kirishima, "well re-coupe like we were told to do, but I also bumped into Bakugōu and Yoko, we saved a puppy," Denki looked confused "Yoko?" "Oh yeah, remember how it was mentioned that he had a little sister well that's her name, she's nice only three though." Izuku Midoriya entered the conversation, "that's his sister's name?" he had frowned, he had seen Kacchan with a little girl a few times over a period of time, but had guessed it was his cousin or something not sister, after all Inko was best friends with Mitsuki and he knew from his mum that she had not been pregnant or had a baby. Kirishima answered "yeah man, I thought you would know seeing as yous two grew up together," Midoriya placed his hand to his mouth thinking, "I had only seen her not meet her, but is she adopted?" now it was Kirishima that frowned "ah, no Bakugōu said she was born Christmas day and she's three years old, apparently he had to help put a lot because she was born weak and his mother was unwell after birth, I figured for sure you would know about it." "Well that's just the thing, Kacchan's mother hasn't had another baby, I would know because my mother and his are friends," before Midoriya could continue other the two boys he was talking too both "ohh, do we have a mystery to solve the Bakugōu sibling mystery," Kirishima laughed at Denki's words. Others begun to pour in and speak about how they were now famous, taking the conversation from their topic.

Katsuki hated his walk to the day care and school, he heard the other parents at the day care whisper, and Hisana wasn't there but Byakuya was already dropped off, and then when he was on the train he had different responses from the public, "oh you were amazing," "man you have some serious anger issues," "it wasn't fair how it ended," "good job, you're gonna be an amazing hero one day, I'll keep my eyes on you in future." Katsuki sighed once he sat in his seat, it was the last he wanted especially for a win like that; he wanted less eyes on him not more.

Katsuki found his mobile had a missed call, he had to ignore it buzzing in his pocket while in class; only because he saw that it wasn't his parents or the day care. At lunchtime he sat down slowly eating as he listened to the voice message left, "hello is this Katsuki Bakugōu? anyway this is Shino, I found a missing notice of my Samoyed puppy, his name is avalanche, I was hoping to pick him up if I could, please contact me on 555-623-598 thanks hope to hear from you soon." Due to his parent's being at work, Yoko in day care and him at school the puppy was to be left in the laundry room downstairs with all its necessities and any messes it makes is his and Yoko's responsibility to clean it up, Katsuki cringed at the thought, he had a hard enough time changing diapers when Yoko was a baby, he just hopes that she will clean up after the puppy.

He called the Shino guy back, "hello?" "yeah, this is Katsuki Bakugōu this must be Shino, I am the one who found your puppy yesterday, unfortunately no one is home right now, can we meet up some time this afternoon and I can give your puppy back to you?" the fella on the other end seemed surprised of his straight forwardness, "ah yeah, where and what time?" "The fort valley park at 4:30pm," Katsuki knew he should have asked for confirmation that the puppy was his, but he did mention the breed and its name in the voice mail earlier.

"Okay I'll meet you there," "bye" was Katsuki's last words, he knew he had to be careful now that he was popular this could just be the media or a fanatic fan or someone wanting to give him a piece of their mind, he dialled the number for the day care. Once the voice on the other end said hello Katsuki wasted no time "yeah, tell Yoko I'll be there to pick her up later than usual, bye," he heard the lady say his name in recognition and then said an awkward okay just before he hung up the phone. He could now enjoy his food in peace, however he had been feeling eyes on him all day, usually this was normal but not so many and with intense determination behind it, he looked over his shoulder and was meet with three sets of eyes that being Deku, Kirishima and sparky. They quickly looked away and begun whispering, Katsuki frowned he had that anxiety feeling building up in his chest and stomach again; he had a bad feeling about this.

MEANWHILE- MIDORIYA, KIRISHIMA, DENKI

They practically jumped when Katsuki's eyes landed on them from across the cafeteria, they were watching him on his phone, and then again as he called another number, "I didn't think he was so popular, but it does remind me from before the festival, remember that day when the story of him and his sister being out was published, he instantly called someone and was pissed, I know it was because it was illegal, but I don't know are brothers normally THAT protective over little sisters?" Kirishima mentioned, "we need to be careful and not obvious," Izuku said but almost immediately, they jumped again when Uraraka walked up to their table "what are yous conspiring?" she was only joking and had no idea she hit the nail right on the head.

"Shh, all three said to her, pulling her down to take a seat with them, she was shocked, surprised but also curious, she bent over listening to them explain what was going on. Kirishima mentioned the media reporting on Katsuki's sister, and that was the first time anyone heard about Yoko existing, then there was the fact that he was super protective over her, and confirmation from Izuku that the Bakugōu's didn't have another baby. "What do yous plan on doing?" she asked them "well, we were going to follow him, and see if we can learn anything else, it is strange hey," Denki said Ochako shrugged "why don't you just ask him, maybe they don't want her to know she is adopted or something, normally the answer is really simple or is something you overlook."

Katsuki was looking over his draft picks, there were a few but one of the hero's that was interested in him was Blue Jeanist, number 4 hero and very popular, he wanted to become the most popular and best hero, he knew some people didn't like his determination and charisma, some saying he was more villainess than heroicness. He was also pissed that he wasn't allowed to have his hero names, they were freaking awesome, the thought, I will need to choose something else, maybe in the future when he was certain and the dam teachers don't get in the way of his choice. He was also anxious having to tell his daughter that his hero internship goes for five days essentially one school week where he also stays with them over night, and also his parents are going to have to pick her up and drop her off at day care, he was considering contacting Hisana and asking for help, but it was obvious that after the festival they didn't want much to do with him. From what his daughter told him, it was because Jet most likely didn't approve of his attitude and words during the festival, so now his parents are going to have to step up while he is doing his week internship.

As soon as the bell range, Katsuki packed up his things and headed straight home, he had to grab the puppy and then pick up Yoko, he thought she would appreciate seeing the owner and saying goodbye to the puppy, she did adore it but it was someone else's they couldn't have pets. Katsuki continued to get the feeling that someone was watching him, he kept checking over his shoulder and the people around him, but nothing was out of the ordinary.

Once home Katsuki changed and then checked on the pup, it had gone to the toilet and made a mess in the laundry room, maybe he should have picked up Yoko first, he really didn't want to clean it up. After 15 minutes and gagging the whole time, he collected his wallet, phone and keys, he was now wearing his sneakers with ¾ cargo shorts and a white Plus Ultra T-shirt and a light over jacket. Katsuki picked up the puppy not having a collar or lead and walked out of his house, it didn't take long to get to the day care. Yoko was happy to see her dad, she ran to him, being alone and said "daddy!" as he picked her up and gave her a kiss on the cheek, Yoko took the puppy off of him, "his owner called me and we are going to return him, let's go."

Katsuki noticed his daughter wasn't as happy, he could see it in her eyes, he had to take the puppy from her as it got too heavy for her to carry, with his other hand he held hers, he learned over time it was best to speak of a topic that she could talk about and also contribute on that could hopefully make her happier. "So today I was supposed to choose my hero name or code name but the teacher wouldn't let me have King Explosion Murder," once the words left his mouth Yoko doubled over in laughter, "you have to be joking, daddy heroes are not meant to have murder in their name." Yoko said it like it was obvious, Katsuki frowned and slightly pouted at her words, "yeah but I liked it," he stated like a big child making his daughter smile yet again, making his own lips lift up into a smile.

They arrived to the park, there was a young man maybe early 20's he had glasses and was wearing a suite without the over coat; he was looking around as if waiting for someone. "Hey are you Shino?" Katsuki practically shouted out, the man nodded and smiled once he saw the puppy, "ah Avalanche I was looking everywhere for you, sorry for the inconvenience my daughter accidentally didn't latch our gate properly and the little fella got out," Katsuki held up his hand in a stop phrase, "don't care just take back your puppy." The man took it from Yoko's hands, she smiled up at her father, happy that they did something nice, "time to go home dad?" he nodded back down not berating her for saying he was seeing the other fellow was finally out of ear shot.

Half way home Yoko asked her father to carry the rest of the way, "are you okay Sunshine?" he knew she wasn't he thought it would be the absence of her friend, but still he had to talk to her about it. She shook her head, "Byakuya's parents don't want to associate with us anymore, they think we are violent and I only found out because my day care teacher informed me, it's no-fair that his parents decided that at a fighting tournament, you need to be physical to be in that, what did they expect, and now Bya-Chan and I can't see each other anymore!" By the end of her sentence she was blubbering and crying and Katsuki had to try and console her, he learned that using reasonable words always allowed her to calm, "I'm sorry Sunshine, it was my attitude that did this, and your right it is not fair that his parents chooses his friends, and you and I both know Bya-Chan is smart and knows better than his parents, he still thinks of you as a friend even if yous don't see each other anymore."

Yoko breathed deeply and nodded her head in understanding, "yeah, maybe we will meet again in the future and can be friends again," she tried for a smile, but failed and just buried her face in his neck, Katsuki continued to talk as they walked home, "do you want to help me choose a hero name when we get home?" She didn't say anything but nodded her head in understanding, Katsuki was thinking of adding on that he had an internship, but he didn't want her to start crying again, so he would leave that till later to talk about.

3PM SCHOOL- MIDORIYA, URARAKA, DENKI, KIRISHIMA

They instantly meet up and kept a distance from Katsuki as they followed him, so far everything was normal, he boarded his train and walked home. "now what, do we ring his door bell and pretend that we wanted to invite him to something?" someone asked, it was feeling weird to Uraraka to be sneaking around and watching her class mates house. "Trust me Uraraka, this is just strange, something is up," Midoriya stated, he had a determined and slightly worried look on his face, this was the first time outside of himself and hero school that he has had such a focus. They must have been there for 15 minutes give or take a few, when Katsuki walked out holding a white fluffy puppy and wearing cargo pants, sneakers, an Ultra Plus T-shirt and an over coat. "Where is he going, lets follow him," the teens all stayed as stealthy as possible, it wasn't any of their business but they were all really curious due to Kacchan being such a private person, especially seeing as he never mentioned Yoko once.

All blushed when they saw Yoko run up to him and hugged him; he gave her a kiss too, and was SMILING, 'So cute!' they all thought in unison. They continued watching them give the puppy to some young man, "ah Katsuki must have found the owner," Kirishima stated "yeah, it's a bummer that we can't hear what they are saying," Denki added on. Half way back to Katsuki's house they all watched as he picked her up, and they were speaking about something, whatever it was it made the little girl cry, Katsuki did a good job at consoling her because she stopped, they could see worry and sadness cross his features, eventually they returned home. "Hmm, I see what you mean Kirishima, he is very protective and caring for her, it was so cute seeing him picked her up and smile and kiss her, oh my god, I wish I brought my camera," Uraraka exclaimed.

Katsuki spent some time going over his chores, and school work, before sitting down with his daughter to go over his hero name, after all she also helped him with his learning, training and also choosing his outfit, why shouldn't she also help him with this. "So Sunshine, you want to go over hero names?" he asked his now gloomy kid, she simply nodded, "I think you could be known as the Explosion hero, for sure your all about explosions, but as for your name…" her little hand was on her chin in thought. He smiled at how she looked, but his smile faltered "we have been given out draft picks from the festival and will need to do a 5 day internship with the hero agency we pick, that being said I need this code name but also I will be spend 5 days and nights away."

Katsuki wasn't afraid of anything but he couldn't look his daughter in the face scared of seeing her reaction, but his head snapped up at her words "ah, I have it you will be Nitro Fist" she exclaimed with her own fist pumped up in the air, he frowned slightly, 'it did suite him, as his quirk was nitro glycerine and his explosions came from his palms.' She looked at him seeing what he thought, he smiled "I like it, it does fit doesn't it…" she nodded, "it's okay, you need to do this to become a hero right, and I will have grandma and pa…" For some strange her words and reasoning made Katsuki worried and sad, she was all of a sudden being left alone with no friend, father and already his parents were so busy to the point he did so much.

"Yoko, I'm sorry, I don't want to leave you and I can't promise certain U.A. commitments won't come up in the future and require me to be gone for long periods of time, but I promise I will always call you, every day and I will work hard to become a great dad and hero, I'm also doing this for you." His words were true and his daughter needed to hear this, she nodded and hugged him, "I know daddy, I will just miss you, but you promise to call right?" he nodded with a smile "every night before you go to bed, okay."

THAT NIGHT MIDORIYA'S HOUSEHOLD

Izuku sat down at the kitchen table with his mother, she cooked steamed veggies, fish and white rice for dinner, "thank you mum," Izuku said absent minded, there was just something about the way Kacchan looked at his 'sister' Yoko, he had not seen such a look from Kacchan directed at anyone since they were 4 years old, not even his own parents warrant that kind of kind and caring look. "Is something wrong Izuku, you have this look on your face, what's wrong?" Izuku snapped out of his inner thoughts, "oh it's nothing really, I was just thinking…actually mum you are friends with Kacchan's mother right," he knew it was the truth but wanted to get her to confirm it, "yeah, why what's wrong Izuku?" She seemed to panic, but his question also made her confused "did you know that Kacchan's mum had another baby around three years ago on Christmas day?" Izuku's mother looked confused "ah no, they don't have another kid, Mitsuki and Masaru can't have any more children after having Kacchan." His mother's words made Izuku's stomach drop and he was slightly scared like there was a big secret the kind of feeling someone got when they realised the phone call was coming from inside the house, "what do you mean mum?" his voice held some urgency "well there were complications during Kacchan's birth and a surgery was needed, they can't have any more kids, so maybe the baby was adopted," Izuku cut her off, "that isn't possible mum, she has the same eyes as Kacchan and his mother's…"

The second those last words left his mouth Midoriya's brain ran through all the information and images of Kacchan looking at Yoko and the way he treated Yoko, he then remembered how tired he used to be in junior high, along with the fact that he was over protective, 'no it couldn't be' he thought. He remembered from this afternoon the little girl saying something as she ran into his arms outstretched, his mind slowed down looking at her words, he could have sworn her words were 'daddy' he remembered when he was a kid, he would run up to his mother yelling mummy, 'oh shit Kacchan had a kid, but that makes no sense.'

Midoriya thought over the information his brain had unravelled but he kept it to himself, he hadn't told the others, and he didn't go to his childhood friend about it, he figured it was best for him to try and drop it, 'I should be focusing more on my internship' he thought.

Yoko felt lonely, she was now with no friend, her father had to go to his internship, he had informed her that he chose to go to Blue Jeanist, just so he could learn how to be popular; Yoko knew her father would hate it solely because he most likely would be told to become nice and approachable. Yoko spent of her time watching T.V. or reading and the only time she got to play outside was at day care, when she got home with her grandma she would help cook and set the table, she found doing chores helped keep her mind off of what adults called 'life problems.'

Mitsuki noticed her granddaughter's depression, Katsuki explained what was going on and that Yoko was lonely, it was the next day that Mitsuki presented her with a small wooden portable chess board, it held the pieces inside and would unfold into a chest board. Mitsuki had fun showing her how to play, and once Yoko realised that it was a strategic game she decided to continue playing, even taking it to day care. Yoko would mainly read through her books and learned how to play the new game she was given, every night her father called like he promised, he stated that this guy was trying to get him to wear jeans, and have a comb over, and stated it was a waste of time, he wouldn't change is determination and ordeals he was too prideful for that. By the time the five days were up, Katsuki was all too happy to leave and take the train home, his dad picked him up, seeing as it was late night when he arrived. Yoko didn't come she had to stay home in bed, "hey son," Katsuki returned his greeting; it was a quite ride home. "Yoko missed you, we will need to sort something out if more time away will be necessary, your mother was thinking about inviting the Kurosaki's over to talk through matters, they may not like us but Yoko should not be treated like that at all." Katsuki nodded his head in agreement, and then added "yeah, I will give them a call about it, I feel bad because this happened due to me, I made a promise to myself that I would never hurt her, but I did." His father added on "indirectly, you can't help other people's actions, but just be there for her."

Yoko was all too happy that her father was coming home, she couldn't sleep even with the late hour, once she heard the car pull up; she got up and out of bed, her father walked in holding a suite case and his other backpack. He dropped everything and caught her as she jumped up into his chest, "I missed you!" she declared, "I missed you too, and you should be in bed," she looked impish, "I was too excited to go to sleep…ah what's wrong with your hair," he laughed at his new hairdo.

Yoko slept in her father's bed, first time in a long time, she was independent for her age, but she was a daddy's girl and especially right at that time he was all she had, they were dependant of each other. Katsuki slept soundly that night, he found it hard to sleep at the agency and he hated the feeling of wasting time, he had a regime and it was interrupted due to the useless internship, but that night he slept in his own bed with his daughter curled up next to him, it was obvious this week was difficult on her, especially because of the Kuchiki's. He was angered the second he thought of their name, it was their fault that his kid was so sad; to deny children to choose their own friends was just not right.

Katsuki was pissed he was currently pounding Sero's and Kirishima's heads together as they were making fun of his new hairstyle, it wasn't his fault his fair became use to it, Katsuki's day only got worse from there. Deku, Icy-hot and Speedy were all apparently involved with the hero killer in Hosu, many were saying how cool it was, they actually got to see some action, meanwhile he was getting his hair gelled down. From their Katsuki got even angrier in the hero training, it was obvious that Deku had been training, instead of breaking bones, he was running and jumping through the gamma course, and they were his own moves. Besides being ripped off he was also falling behind, he could have chosen more wisely, instead of finding someone trying to change him and his attitude, even his own daughter laughed at his hairstyle.

They were informed that they had a summer training camp to go to but that they would need to pass the written and physical tests, those that lose were going to a summer school, which didn't make sense to Katsuki because wouldn't that mean they needed the training more than anyone else? He knew he could and would pass, but a month long training away from Yoko was going to break his heart, he decided to not think about that at the present time. Katsuki was just leaving the school and made it outside when he heard the nerd call out his name, "What do you want Deku?!" he had a sense of Deja-vu all over again, "ah, I need to talk to you seriously," Deku had a look in his eyes that informed Katsuki that it was very important, right when Katsuki was about to brush him off Deku spoke up saying "it's about Yoko," Katsuki's blood ran cold as ice, he followed Deku around the side of the school, once alone he pinned the nerd by his throat against the wall. "What the hell, Deku" Katsuki had to let him go, so he could at least hear what the other had to say, maybe it was important, "I know she's your daughter," was all Deku coughed out, Katsuki's look on his face was all the confirmation Deku needed to know he was right.

"How did you find out," Deku fessed up saying a few of them followed him on the day he returned the puppy to its home, he also said that thinking and basic deductions was what gave him the answer, but that Katsuki's response was his confirmation, he had to quickly say the others didn't know and he wouldn't tell anyone else that, he was just surprised that even he, himself didn't know this, Deku mentioned that Kacchan's mother couldn't have babies, that was news to Katsuki, he didn't know this but Deku and his mother did apparently. "Well you said you won't tell anyone, so then don't, and if you do, I Will Kill You," this time Katsuki's words were truly holding those words and he would follow through with them, it was the most scared Deku had ever been not even the hero killer was this scary to him. He simply nodded "I would never do that to you Kacchan, I know you don't think of me as a friend, but I still think of you that way, I'm just curious you would have been young when…" Izuku was cut off "shut up Deku that is none of your business, and your right I don't think of you as a friend, if you must know your best title would be a bug or nascence, now I gotta go, Yoko's waiting for me."

Katsuki was pissed for the remainder of the day, he didn't show it to his daughter but when he spoke to his nit-picking mum it was obvious, he ended up asking her "you never told me that you couldn't have kids after having me," his mother was caught off guard, she nearly dropped her fork at dinner, "how did you find that out." "Izuku Midoriya found out that it was impossible for you to have another kid because you couldn't and then he put two and two together and know we have another person who knows." He was angry they could tell, but the way he was speaking was rude, and his mother's feelings were hurt but instead she exploded and went off at him.

"look here brat, saying thank you for going through so much to give you life would have been a start, but don't go blaming me, sure Inko knows I can't have any more children, but no one should have been suspicious, plus Izuku won't go around telling everyone, he's your friend right." "Wrong, that nerd is not my friend; he also mentioned others from m y class are onto our secret…" Katsuki was interrupted "your secret, and don't you use that tone with me and speak to me like that, you may be a parent but you are still a kid, so off to your room, no more dinner for you till you apologise to me!" Both were hot headed and stubborn, he ended up stomping upstairs and Yoko and Masaru were looking down intently at their food.

Yoko, popped her head into her father's room, he was laying on his bed reading another school book, "yeah Sunshine" he said not looking up to her, 'how did he always knew when she was there?' she walked in, "you should apologise to grandma," "I aint apologising to that old hag," Yoko flinched at his tone, he sighed and rolled over onto his back and sat up. "Look you know why I keep you safe with this lie, but already its beginning to break down and with so many eyes, from the media, the public and villains it is just not what we need right now, I just wish she had told me about this instead of me being blind sighted." Yoko joined her father on his bed "maybe it hurts grandma to think about, and to hear you angry that she gave that up to have you would hurt more, imagine if my mummy said that to me, plus maybe it's time, maybe you should be Katsuki Bakugōu U.A. student and father off Yoko Bakugōu." Yoko couldn't help herself she looked up hopeful for the first time, "or at least your peers and the teachers, it doesn't have to be document…" Katsuki didn't want to think or worry about this, "I will be going on a summer training camp, it lasts for a month." His voice sounded hollow as he said it, he knew this change of topic was to help stop his own building anxiety in his stomach and chest that he didn't want to deal with right now.

Yoko watched as her father became more aloof, he trained and studied harder to pass his finals so he could leave on a month's long training summer camp, he hadn't even apologised to grandma.

The next afternoon Masaru knocked on his son's door, he heard a grunt which was a good enough answer to come on in, he opened the door and walked in taking a seat, "we should talk about the way to spoke to both your mother and daughter." Katsuki frowned at his father and wanted to give an excuse but his father had a serious look of his own and he really trusted his dad, so if anyone was going to hear him out it would be his dad. "Your mum hates to admit that she couldn't have more kids, did you know she planned on have many, and I mean like a lot, but her womb was damaged from giving birth to you and they had to remove it, you upset her greatly, you should at least apologise for that." Katsuki was about to speak but his father held up his hand to stop him and he continued, "and you upset your daughter, instead of giving her what she wants you made up rules, sure to keep her safe but in the long term you're hurting her, there is nothing wrong with being a dad, but still you act as if it is, and on top of that you told her you would be gone for a whole month just to get of topic."

Katsuki held his head in shame, in reality he had been hiding every time he was home, he just didn't want to face his issues, he begun to tear up, "I'm just so scared, if others try to hurt her because of this secret and I'm not there to save her, I can't lose her and on top of that I have anxiety just at the thought of telling someone else, I even threatened to kill Deku of he told anyone." Masaru's eyes widened slightly at his son's confession, "alright son, you need to decide a few things, firstly you will apologise to your mother regardless, she did not deserve that, and secondly you need to decide who is worthy of knowing you have a kid, talk to your child about this, she is smart she will understand." With his wisdom bestowed upon his son Masaru left and went on his way down stairs to help set the table with his granddaughter.

He walked down the stairs his mother still prepping dinner and obviously giving him the cold shoulder, he slowly approached her, his voice was a little soft and not that he would admit this but weak, "mum," she turned to him with a stoic face, but her eyes showed him that she was in pain, "I'm sorry, I didn't consider all you went through for me and your sacrifice, I was just thinking how my secret of having a child of my own would be discovered," he took a step forward and hugged his mother, she slowly accepted it, "yeah well you should be grateful brat," her words held no heat though, after that she was a lot more pepped up.

After dinner, Katsuki made his way to his daughters room, he collected her P.J's and took her to the bathroom, he sat the floor next to her like he always does as he washed her hair, it was quite, "so, you want me to tell people that I am your dad?" This took Yoko by surprise as she whipped around to look at her dad, "be careful or you'll get shampoo in your eyes," he chided "ops sorry, yeah, I want to practically tell everyone that your my daddy" she looked down with shinny eyes and puffed cheeks, it was obvious she always had a problem with having to refer to him as her older brother. "And who do you wish me to tell," it was a valid question, obviously not the media or villains but maybe his teachers and class mates, those who figured it out or something. "Maybe your teachers…I want to come with you to the training camp, I don't want to go a month without you, a week was too long," she complained. Katsuki heard her words, so he would have to inform his teachers and his peers, god that would go down like a bag of bricks, he sighed "okay I will need to talk to my teachers about having to bring my daughter with me to summer camp." His words made Yoko explode in excitement as she splashed and smiled, "what it, I already had my bath," he complained but continued smiling. "Daddy, why did you ask me about this, instead of telling me how it was going to be," he nodded understanding what she meant "well you are smart and getting older, plus it upsets you greatly, all I think about is the best way for me to protect you and don't think about protecting your heart and feelings as much as I do your life, so that is why I want to run things by you from now on."

Katsuki was now stuck with his daughter sharing his bed, since he had come back from his internship he hadn't been able to budge her to get back into her own bed, he knew kids could be attached and she was 'his' little girl but still he was a dam teenager and he wanted his bed back, but she looked so happy and comfortable, he will put his foot down tomorrow night.

Katsuki arrived to school earlier, he had to leave Yoko at day care earlier than usual, but she was all for it as she knew he was seeing the faculty staff so that he could see if she could join him at summer camp. Katsuki had a whirlwind of emotions tearing through him as he knocked on the teacher staff room, "come in," was the voice of a few teachers, he opened the door and gulped down as he had all the teachers eyes on him, he gulped. "Ah hi Mr Aizawa, I need to talk to you about something regarding the summer camp," he couldn't look him in the eyes, he was so frightened, "yeah go ahead," his teacher said not paying much attention.

Katsuki's tone told the teacher this was more important than he had expected it to be, "no Mr, Aizawa, I need to talk to you about this in private," he finally made eye contact, Shoto Aizawa had never seen his explosive student so serious before not even when facing villains, he stopped typing on his computer, and left for a private room away from the other teachers, their leaving was definitely noted by the others. "So what is so important that we must talk in private," they were sitting down on couches in the teachers lunch room, "I can't go for a month to the summer camp…" his teacher cut him off "well you don't get a choice kid." He begun to get up "it is that for crying out loud, I need someone to come with me," Aizawa was contemplating his words, "continue" he said wanting to hear just what was making his student so on edge and serious. "Not many people know about this, my family, a select few and Deku found out on his own," now this really caught Aizawa's attention. Aizawa wasn't a very serious teacher in most circumstances, however he was serious when it came to teaching Bakugōu because he could tell he had an aptitude for this and would become a great hero, everything about him was geared towards his training to become a hero, so what would get in the way of that he wondered. "I was 11 when my daughter was born, she's 3 years old, I am her only parent, and my parents take care of her but are both too busy and work all the time, we pay for day care while I'm here at school, she will need to come with me to the summer camp."

The room was engulfed in silence, when Katsuki looked up he was meet by his homeroom teachers shocked expression, "when you were 11…" he begun to say in surprise but cleared his throat and became serious himself, "I guess the staff and your peers would have to know then, isn't this on the questionnaires for the application forms?" he asked himself. "Yes, we were just claiming that she was my sister to keep her safe from media, society and bad people, not many approve of teen parents," Aizawa nodded his head agreeing, "I will bring this up to the other teachers, you will need to inform your peers, if she is to come with you then she will need to be good and they will need to know who she is, what's her name?" "Yeah I understand, I will be taking care of her the whole time, I won't need help and she's really smart, her name is Yoko Bakugōu."

Before homeroom, Aizawa spoke to Nezu, "wow how surprising, to think our most explosive student had such responsibilities outside of school, it makes sense now why he has such high grades and is doing so well, the same safety standards we take for the students will apply to young Yoko Bakugōu, her father will need to sign some paperwork before he leaves for summer camp." Nezu said at the meeting being held to determine the class 1A students hero tests, they decided splitting them up into groups of two and pitting them against a teacher would be an adequate test seeing as they were more advanced than normal first years.

Homeroom class was about to end, they were informed about the exams and many were grouping up to study, Kirishima was relying on Katsuki he could really say the red head was getting close he was use to pushing people away so now that he didn't have too, it just felt downright weird. After Aizawa finished up and was about to leave the class he gave Katsuki a pointed look, the blondie was feeling sick to his stomach and he was laying his head on his desk, after they had decided what they were doing, he stood up very quickly getting most of their attention. "Ah is everything alright Bakugōu, my man?" Kirishima asked worried as the teen was so tense it was unnatural, he didn't turn around as he spoke, he kept his head down and back to them all, "yeah I have to tell yous all something, so umm…" he couldn't bring himself to face them he was just so fucking scared not that he would admit it. "Deku get here now," he demanded, the startled teen cautiously approached, once close enough Katsuki pulled him in close enough so he could whisper into his ear. "I need you to tell them I have a kid and her name, she will be coming to the summer camp with us," the first words out of the other teen's mouth were "you said you would kill me!" Everyone in the room wore shocked and worried expressions, "just do it," "why don't you do it," Deku countered, he was a little scared too, but he noticed Katsuki's hand in a tight fist, this was hard for him, so he asked him to do it for him.

Deku now understanding nodded, Fumikage and Todoroki both took steps forward, "what is it, is everything alright," mainly asking the green haired teen. Deku turned and spoke with determination in his voice, "class 1A I need yous to take your seats for what I'm about to tell you," all frowned but slowly followed his instructions, "technically I shouldn't be saying this, and it's not my place but I mean I promised I wouldn't but I mean I have been asked to and I am only doing it," "just get on with it!" Katsuki snapped Deku out of his mumbling, 'maybe I should have done it myself, but no one would believe me, but they all seem to trust him.' "Okay, here goes, Katsuki Bakugōu has a three year old daughter named Yoko and she will also be joining us at the training camp," it was awkward, "anything else you wanted to add Kacchan?" he spoke up, seeing as everyone was shocked, some now laughing except for a few that being Deku, Denki, Kirishima, Uraraka, Todoroki and Momo. "You've gotta be kidding me, but it's good that yous two are now getting along enough to make up funny jokes," those words made Katsuki explode as he stood up. "It's not a joke tape arms! I am trusting you ass hats with this, so there yous go, and if anyone tells another soul outside of this class room I will kill yous all!" his hands had minnie explosions going off, someone else was going to say something but Kirishima spoke up "it's true, I meet her once but you told me she was your sister," Katsuki sighed "yeah, I wanted to keep her safe, society and the media are ruthless a teenage single father now there's a story they would love to sink their teeth into, plus with villains sprouting up everywhere, I need to keep her safe."

The class spewed out questions even Todoroki softly asking if that meant he was 12 when she was born, "shut up, its none of your business, the less you know the better, so now yous know, I expect yous to keep this quite!" All went silent, "can you at least tell us why she is coming to the training camp," Jiro asked, all looked expectantly at Katsuki, he blushed slightly, "my parents work a lot and she won't have anyone to take care of her while I'm there, plus she doesn't like to go long periods of time without me," the last part was mumbled and his blush increased. Many of the girls reacted in the class the same way 'oh my god so cute,' Uraraka chose to speak up "you can trust us Bakugōu, we would never put Yoko in danger, thanks for telling us," she tilted her head giving him a smile.

"Yeah well I told yous because I had too, c ya on the weekend shitty hair," Katsuki left to the principal's office signing off paperwork and then heading on his way to pick up his daughter, little did Katsuki know that when he scooped up his daughter calling out 'daddy' was being photographed by a dark figure hidden in the bushes.

"Did you tell them?" she asked her father as they walked home hand in hand, he simply nodded, "yeah and they had a million and one questions, long story short they won't tell anyone and you will be coming with us, plus on the weekend Kirishima will be over for us to study." Yoko was bouncy and happy throughout the weekend and next week, she was counting down the days till they went to this summer camp, she stayed out of her father's way as he trained and studied with his friend, she even got them drinks and food, trying to help them out.
