Summary: Hagakure liked her quirk at times.
Trickery is an art. Not one that one can accomplish with brushes and paints (usually, people are crafty at times), but with wits and cunning skills. Or you know, a neat quirk. Like now. On Halloween.
A white sheet with some cut-out eye holes is a very stereotypical costume in the northern hemisphere. Though, the internet exists, the internet knows. Period. Hagakure saw an opportunity one year when someone threw out an old sheet at her dorm rooms. After asking her classmate if she could have the sheet instead of having it end up in a waste bin, she got to work. After all, the Celtic holiday was quickly approaching. On the day off, this mastermind of a plan was set in motion. She roamed the streets form a bit, waiting, looking for her first victim. It came in the form of a little boy in a Dracula costume.
"Hey, you ghost!"
A smirk formed on her face. Ey, her prey was coming to her instead. ...Hmmm, maybe I should rephrase that. Anyway, the highschooler turns around to face him with her arms crossed. "Yes?" She questions as a form of an answer.
"He he," he giggles with a lazy smile on his painted-blue face, "your disguise is kinda lame." He points a single digits at her, making sure she knows he's taking to her. Kid logic.
She scoffs indignantly. "Wrong, " emphasis on that word, "it's awesome. You just didn't see what there is under the sheet." The thought process goes like this. If she provokes him, piques his curiosity (as children have tons of that, hell, she still has a lot of that), he'll take a peek.
"Oh yeah?" The boy seems sure of himself. Hands placed on his hips like a sassy housewife. He leans forward ever so slightly. "Let's check…" Yahtzee! She got 'em! "..." His pause of hesitation and uncertainty marked her victory. Her plan was kicked into action. "It…it's empty." He sputtered, eyes widening at the lack of nothing when he lifted her sheet to take a peek for himself.
"Kr krr krrr…" The sheet ghost laughed most ominously. The girl was quick to raise a clear plastic film of red up to her face. Again, her quirk was useful at times. She refracted light only from her eyes, as that was the only place light was hitting. "You took a look under my sheet, and now you've been struck by my curse!" The teen hissed in a spooky tone. It was cheesy and she was delighted at her acting skills. To be honest, it's not that good. But don't tell her I said that though. "Your body will now slowly begin to rot…" She crackled at him.
"Please, no!" The little boy started to sniffle and tears formed.
Panic momentarily overtook her. Shit! He was crying. Whoops. Okay, damage control. You can do this Tooru. "Hmmm…" She pretended to contemplate for a moment. "I may life the curse. But there's one condition." The boy looked up at her in hope for a second. Tears still gapping in his eyes. "You know the drill…" He seems to hold his breath at this. Her smile came back. "TRICK OR TREAT!" Again with the old red plastic sheet and refraction trick.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAH!" The child runs screaming for the hills. Tossing away his basket of treats and trinkets. This noise caused a couple of curious parents and kids to turn their heads toward the origin of the noise. Welp. Time for her to get the Hell outta Dodge.
"How did you…?" Jiro sweatdropped. She glazed at the display before her, not certain what to do nor what to ask.
"My loooot!" Hagakure flailed her limbs wildly as she gesticulated towards the abnormally large candy pile. Four in fact, with two large full size chocolate bars off to the side.
Okay, I haven't updated since February and I'm sorry,,, I've been so focus on other stories (new ones/original stories mostly) and I just haven't been feeling up to finish any of the drabbles I had out. So I looked at my Google Doc for this story and decided, screw it! Whatever drabbles I had finished, I'm just going post it. I realized I only had 3. I thought that was too little for a post dump, but then realized my initial post dump for this series was also 3 chapter, so whatever. XD For the next one though, expect to be bombarded by things.
Man, this prompt has been on my Google Docs for forever. Finally,,,I've done it. *sobs* And hey! This drabble has a lot of contrast compared to chapter 17.
Look at any other site I postcross my fanfiction on to see the link to the comic that inspired this.
