It was already late that evening. Normally there would be lighter out but it was the time of the new moon. It was near to impossible to see what was happening in the dark alley. A corpse was on the ground against the wall, Izuku was cleaning the tip of his staff with a cloth, and Toga was rubbing her eyes. It could have been the lack of light, a slight blurry vision, or the blood on her forehead, but she was startle to what happened in front of her.

The boy hid the cloth deep into his bag and retreated the staff up his sleeve. Izuku then placed the back of his hand against the mouth of the 'thing' in front of him. He was inspecting if there was any change in the air, if there was life still present. The boy felt a warm light and faint breeze against his hand, he did not feel anything flowing back though. He is not breathing. Now … now. Izuku was uncertain to what to do next; his main attention was … assisting the person.

Toga subbed Izuku to the side, he was still on his feet now looking at her. She was sorting through her bag and pulled out an open vile, she then pressed it against the wound on the man's chest collecting some of his blood. Toga put a cork on the top and placed it into her bag. She picked it up and turned around. "What are you going to do now?" The girl looked at Izuku with concerning eyes, she was not her usually energetic self-cause for the first time she was frighten.

Izuku shifted his body to realize that his right pocket was swaying around. He tapped the outer layer of his pocket, feeling something metal. Toga's knife. He lowered his guard and relaxed his muscles, making Toga feel less tense. "The train I need to take home is going to leave soon." He gestured to his watch then to the body. "We cannot talk now, and we can not stay here with that. We need to discuss this later."

"You are more calmed then I thought." Toga looked away from Izuku. "How can I trust you?"

Stay calm, what would All for One do? Izuku thought of a solution. "There is blood on both of our hands." Izuku pulled out the knife from his pocket holding the sharp tip near the palm and the handle-facing Toga. I can give her knife back, that is a good start.

She took a step forward. "Can you give that back to me?" She reached out her hand. She crept close to Izuku, just when she was near; she lowered both of her knees. When she did this, Izuku immediately retracted his arm. She crouched, she was going to leap forward and take the knife, and probably worse.

Gaining some distance, Izuku stared Toga whose eyes changed, he sense the blood lust she was emitting. I cannot give her back her knife or else she'll kill me. But I can give her something else. Izuku moved the staff he had from his sleeve and tossed it over to Toga. She held it in her hand examining it. "You can hold on that for now. So we have to meet up later to trade."

Looking at the part with the dry blood, Toga took the staff component and place it into her bag. "You cannot go and tell anyone about this!" Toga knew that without her knife she was in a state of disadvantage if she tried to take it back. Especially since Izuku demonstrated some of his skills earlier. "I'm heading off in this direction." Toga pointed in the direction she came from. "See you tomorrow Izuku."

With a silent nod and agreement, Toga and Izuku left the alleyway in different direction, he left without a portion of his weapon but with a knife. He made sure to keep an eye to his surroundings and Toga until she was out of her site. Before his arrival at his home, Izuku changed back to his uniform when he arrived at his station. Along the way, he stares at the people that were around him differently. They are moving. Izuku as looking at a family in the distance. They are alive and he is dead. A flash of the corpse appeared in his head. A tear ran down his cheek from his eye. He reaches for his handkerchief but stopped. Oh yeah, the blood.

Inko Midoriya greeted her son when he walked in. She was not frantically worry for her son. They ate dinner together and it was another quiet evening. After cleaning, Izuku went to his room and almost collapsed on the bed but he knew he had to do something else at that moment. He wrap Toga's knife in his bloody handkerchief, then he sat down opening his "Intrigue 3" notebook. He started writing down on a page that he just entitled "Toga Himiko's Potential Quirk."

The morning was calm and tranquil; Izuku was already walking to his school with a lot of time to spare. Along the streets were people just like him in there uniform. He felt anxious. Aside from the staffs, he never brought an actual weapon to school. He did his best to hide the knife among his things. Just another day, you have to be able to give her knife back.

"Hey Midoriya."

Izuku turned his head when he was walking to notice that a silver haired boy from before was next to him. "Furuichi?! Good morning." Putting up a smile, he faced Furuichi.

Furuichi looked at Izuku. "Hey, so we never really got a chance to know each other since you arrived." He placed his arm around Izuku's head and he guided Izuku in the direction opposite of the school, away from the other students. "Let's get a drink before we head to class."

Izuku narrowed his eyes, and said, "I don't know. Class is going to start." He never acted like this before.

"We got plenty of time." Furuichi laughed. "You got to relaxed."

"Well, okay." The two boys walked on down the block, Furuichi let go of Izuku. After a block of conversing, Furuichi went down an alleyway. "Where are you going?"

"Come on, there is a nice store where I get drinks." He turned his head, Izuku was still on the sidewalk, and his was in the alley. "This is a good shortcut or else we won't make class."

"If you are that worried, then let's head back to school." The green haired boy frantically laugh.

Calmly, Furuichi turned around, his red bag was over his shoulder. He gave off a weird smirk, "Come on, I'm buying."

Izuku's heart was racing; I guess it's now or never. "Toga, I know what you are trying to do." Standing straight up rather than slouching, "Let's go somewhere more calmed."

The silver haired boy squinted his eyes. "You know it's me!" Furuichi walked out of the alley. "Well, there's no need for me to stay like this. Let's go find a place where I can change." The two of them walked to a park in silence till they reached the bathroom. "Give me a few minutes." Furuichi looked around to make sure no one was around him and walked into the girls bathroom.

At the same time, Izuku went to a vending machine to grab some juice. He waited on a bench that was next to the bathroom, the park was mostly empty, no one was passing through. Most people are commuting to work or are in school. Some time has pass and someone came out of the bathroom, it was Toga wearing the school's female uniform. She sat down next to Izuku with her red bag between her legs. She grabbed the staff component and handed it to Izuku. "Can you give me my … 'thing' back?"

After inspecting the staff, making sure there was nothing fishy, he reached down and grabbed a piece of cloth that wrapped around the knife. "Here. Don't take it out! Someone can still see us."

Ignoring the warning, Toga swiped the knife in an instant. She did not remove the handkerchief but she did press it against her face. "I missed you." She was smiling wide and her face turned red as she made circular motion, finding comfort in having its presence. She then stopped to look at Izuku who felt awkward staring at her. Toga realized what she was doing could have been seen as weird even in the public's eyes. She put the knife into her bag. "How did you figure out that I was not quirkless?" She was not looking at Izuku directly, but her voice indicated a certain atmosphere.

He did his best to have neutral emotions when speaking, I knew this was gonna happen, just gotta remain calm. "I knew you, well some people, were following me for the past weeks. I got tired of it, so I decided to follow one of them. And I found that you were … they. What really connect them was that they all had your bag." He gave off a smirk. "I can't believe it took me more than a week to noticed it was your bag. But the biggest gave away was that you are not like the other quirkless people in school."

Toga stared at Izuku in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"You're too energetic." Izuku thought back to the people he saw in the school. "When we go to the library, we get to see all the people in our grade who are quirkless. Each one of them kept to themselves, into their studies. Then there was you Toga, as happy as ever."

"I guess there is no use to hiding it. You are right. I do have a quirk." Toga stood up and looked around to see that no one was around them. Then she reached into her bag and pulled out a small vile red liquid, which she then took a drip from it and consumed the drop. Her appearance then changed into something that resembles a black haired girl from week's prior. "My quirk is Transform." Her voiced changed.

Izuku was shocked to what happened in front of him. I knew it, I knew this was her quirk but what's with 'that'. "I know you could change but that's crazy how you can match their voices." A light colored slimed melted off Toga's head, revealing her true appearance. He was amazed by what happened in front of him. "What's in that container?"

"It's blood. I can only transform into those whom I drink blood from. Even if its just okay a drop." Toga sat back down staring at him.

"Oh that makes sense." Izuku eyes lit up. "What? You drink blood?"

Toga smiled. "Yeah. I found my quirk out by accident." Izuku stared at her with interest. "My quirk required a special condition to activate so I was label as quirkless. It was until a couple of years ago I found my quirk."

By accident? Maybe I should not ask her about it. "That's amazing that you are able to hide it for so long."

The blonde haired girl smiled. "You are the first one that I ever told. Even my family doesn't know." She then grabbed her bag. "So tell me. Since I told you my secret, can you tell me yours." Izuku looked at her in discomfort. My secret. Does she know about the League? If that is the case then I have to do this. Izuku reached into his pocket and grabbed his phone, preparing to send a message to Magne. "Tell me. What is your quirk Izuku? I know you have one."

She wants to know about my quirk. … Wait what?

Hey readers. Thank you all for being so patient for me to get the next chapter out. Truth be told I was hating myself for not writing sooner. (Even I am curious to see where this was gonna go.) Feel free to comment and leave behind any thoughts you have. - Story-Narrator
