Ikaru Bakugou was like the shadow of her brother, Katsuki. A quirkless shadow. She often followed him around. She's the shiest person anybody can know, but when she's angry, you cower in fear and when she's sad, you will do anything, anything, to make sure that she doesn't cry. Not just you. Anyone who will and has existed.

Ikaru is the definition of sweet. She has lavender hair that fades into a deep red. She has red eyes, but unlike her explosive brother, they don't hold hatred, but love and kindness. But she follows her brother. Mostly for protection.

FLASHBACK

Ikaru's POV

"Let's play tag, Katsuki!" I squealed happily.

"You and your games." he teased, but chased after me. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. But brother was faster, as he ran up to me and tagged me.

"YES!" he said. Suddenly, his hands exploded.

"Oooowww..." Katsuki moaned, his hands smoking.

"Brother, don't you get it!? YOU HAVE A SUPER-POWERFUL QUIRK!" I shrieked, jumping up and down like the 4-year-old that I was.

1 year later

Katsuki's POV

Ikaru was gone. She didn't come home. She promised to meet me, the b****! Might as well find her... I thought angrily.

She wasn't at the place where they sell pop, her favorite restaurant, which has a name I can never remember, or by the school. I was getting really worried, so I searched the perimeter of the school.

"Hey. Wait… STOP! BROTHER!" I heard a voice that was definitely Ikaru's. I turned to find 2 *ssholes trying to hurt my sister.

"GET THE F*** AWAY FROM MY SISTER!" I roared. The boys, one of which had a reptilian tail, ran away as my hands exploded.

"B-brother... why did they do that…?" She asked. She was trebling and she had a bloody nose. I knew I couldn't lie. d*mn that Ikaru, she made me go soft! I sighed, not knowing how to tell her.

"Because you're quirkless." I said bluntly. Her eyes filled with tears and she hugged me.

"Protect me, brother. You're powerful." she said.

"Let's go home."

END OF FLASHBACK

It was the last day of 8th grade. The teacher said something incredibly biased and offencive to quirkless people. Ikaru. He said, 'I wOulD aSk wHaT yOu waNnA bE WhEn yOu gROw uP, BuT I gUeSS yOu aLl wANnA bE hErOEs, riGhT?!' Everyone screamed yes, and I said something about not lumping me in with the extras in the class. But Ikaru, quiet as a mouse, said:

"No." so quietly, it shouldn't be capitalized.

Midoriya, the other quirkless person in the class, stared at her, highly surprised.

Dumb*ss.

"Meet me after class." I heard Midoriya growl, and when I looked back, Ikaru looked like she saw a ghost. She nodded quickly. Midoriya looked sorry that he scared her, but, c'mon, it's Ikaru.

AFTER CLASS

Ikaru's POV

When Midoriya heard me say that I didn't want to be a hero, he told me to meet him after school. He's scary. I stood by the door outside of school. Suddenly, a noise disturbed my thinking. Footsteps.

"RAR!" I heard. I jumped and punched whatever attacked me. It was Midoriya.

"...oops." I said. He stood. Well, I pulled him up because he was unconscious. I put him on my back like he was a sack. But of course...

"Oh look, the two quirkless kids are in lo-ove!" my fear turned into more fear as a kid that was in highschool (and had nothing better to do than be mean to me) came from around the corner.

"SHUT UP!" I screamed.

"Ooh, finally got a voice, don't have your brother to protect you!" he taunted.

I bit my lip. Midoriya stirred.

"Where... HOLY SH*T WHAT THE F*CK!" he screamed. Well, now I know he's alive. Good thing I'm taller or, since I'm carrying him like he's a sack, his head would be in a... very odd spot.

After some struggle, I put him on his butt on the ground. But the dumb*ss was still there.

"Ha. Ha. Ha. Look what we have here. Two powerless…"

Midoriya punched him. the guy was unconscious. Good.

"Thank you so much!" I said. "Follow me. We talk there."

"Umm… okay?" Midoriya said, surprised by my strength. More than the average girl, but less than anyone with supastrength.

We went to my favorite restaurant. I can never remember the name...

"Why are we here?" Midoriya growled. I paled. I was strong, but not strong enough to defeat him.

"Y-you wanted t-to talk s-so I th-thought…"

"O-okay. Um… why don't you want to be a hero?"

"U-um... I'm pretty much powerless, so what's the point of getting killed for nothing that a more experienced and powerful hero can't handle?" I explained quickly. Ugh, I hate boys...

"Well…" he went into a frenzy of words, but they sounded boring, so I didn't pay attention. In the middle of his speech, the waiter came over. I asked for 2 vanilla milkshakes.

Izuku's POV

Ikaru ordered milkshakes. I was still shocked that she didn't want to be a hero. Who didn't! She is pretty shy... Girls are confusing. I made some comments about how being a hero pays well and you can help people, but I soon realised she wasn't listening.

"Are you listening?" I asked, exasperated.

"No, not really. I zoned out after 'well.'"

"Oh." I said sadly. She visibly paled.

"S-sorry! Well I hafta get going love you bye!" she said quickly and ran out. I realised something. She said 'love you bye' and not just 'bye.' I widened my eyes as I thought about how to tell her I heard that. I laughed. Wait… why did she leave so quickly? I'll ask tomorrow.

Ikaru's POV (you know you love it ;D)

darndarndarndarndarnf*cksh*tdarndarn... I said 'love you' to mah flippen crush! I'm gonna die...

I moaned into my pillow. That was like... the 3nd stupidest thing I've done. My brother came into my room. Noisy b*tch.

"What's wrong." he asked knowingly.

"I just said 'love you bye' to MAH FLIPPEN CRUSH!" I said, jumping out of bed to shake him on the shoulder.

"Wow... that was rrreeeeaaalllyyy dumb. Send me a picture of his face when you ask to be his-"

"SHUT THE F*CK UP!" I screamed, pushing Katsuki out of my room and shutting the door in his face. Not the first time.

I paced around my room for a while. It was painted blue and had posters of random old superhero movies. My favorite ones are 'Iron Man' and 'spiderman: into the spider-verse' and 'black widow.' Also, 'infinity war!'

My snake, Konhebi, stared judgmentally at me.

"I'm going outside." I muttered. Konhebi hissed at me and ate a mouse.

On my skateboard, without a helmet, I flew through the streets. Almost like I have a flying or supaspeed quirk. I stepped in front of el favorite restaurant. Midoriya was in there, quietly sipping a vanilla shake. I smirked. This'll be fun.

I walked up behind him and tapped on his shoulder.

"Boo." I said. He yelped and jumped. A waitress came over as I sat down.

"What would you like, dear?" she said.

"A chocolate milkshake, please." I said. Then, "So I assume you're trying to get into the UA?" I asked Midoriya.

"Yeah. Umm... meet me here tomorrow. I want to tell you something." He said, waving and leaving. I left, paying for his and leaving a pretty big tip. I'm making him pay me back if it's the last thing I do!

Midoriya POV, the next day~

I sat at the restaurant, Ikaru is late. She promised to meet me at 4:30. It's 4:45. I sighed, checking my texts to her. Oops, It says to meet at 5. Hehe... whoops.

She walked in at 4:50. Her eyes lit up when she saw me. Cute… a part of me thought. SHUT THE F*CK UP! Another part thought.

"H-hey." she mumbled, her face a bit red. Yes, this is a date. Her hair was in a braid, she had a black shirt, black sweater, black leggings, and black tennis-shoes. I'm sensing a theme...

"S-so… whatcha wanna do?" I asked, scratching the back of my head nervously.

"Eat, obviously." Ikaru deadpanned.

Cue sweatdrop.

A waiter came up. "Kosei-sensei? You're a waiter?" she asked.

"Is this your boyfriend?" he asked.

"Sh-shut up!" she cried.

"Two vanilla milkshakes, please." I said. "So… remember a few days ago? When you said 'love you bye?' Did…" I took a breath. "Did you mean it?" I asked.

"I don't know how to answer this question." She responded. Forget butterflies, now it's bumper cars. Ikaru mumbles something under her breath.

"Hmmh?" I ask. "what wazzat?"

Ikaru sighs, nods, and calmly flips me off.

Cue another sweatdrop.

"So…"

Walking home after oddly romantic night, 7:45 pm, 3rd person POV

'I wanted to ask you something'… Izuku was thinking a scenario in his head.

'Yes' Ikaru will say...

'W-will you be…'

'YES' Ikaru will cut him off. Foolproof.

"Do you have something to say?" Ikaru asked.

"Yes… w-ill you be…" she didn't cut him off yet, "my…" curious looks, "girlfriend…" blushes. Too many blushes. Blush overload.

"Yus… okie." she said. Like 30 seconds later. In her head, a dance party with rainbow unicorns and llamas is happening. She smiled. "F*CK YES!" she yelps, realising the severity of the situation.

Inside the Bakugou house…

"Mom… brother… umm…" Ikari begins.

"Mmh?" they ask.

"I… mayormaynothaveaboyfriend…" Mitsuki (the mom) smiled and hugged her.

"I WILL MURDER HIM FOR STEALING MY SISTER!" Katsuki screamed, but he was happy for her.

"Who?" Mitsuki asked.

"Izuku Midoriya…"

A month later, Katsuki POV

Ikaru wasn't home by eight. That's the time we must be home. I stayed up all night, waiting. Where is she!?

I blinked my eyes open. sh*t, must've fallen asleep. That's when I saw Ikaru, curled into a ball, asleep by me. I remembered last night.

Flashback time~

Mom fell asleep at 8. It is now 11. I can't find Ikaru. I called her a million times. Then, I heard a door shut quietly. I ran into the living room. Ikaru was there, crying. She looked badly hurt. She had bruises and cuts all over.

I ran toward the couch, where she was curled up. She looked so broken and weak. Her red eyes were dull. I hugged her. She put her head into my chest and closed her eyes. I went to my room, carrying her.

I put her on my bed and we fell asleep.

No flashback anymore Katsuki POV

Ikaru awoke panting. Somehow, all of her cuts were gone.

"What happened last night?" I asked, concerned.

"W-well… some kids came when I was coming home. I was already late, it was 8:15, and they said that I was weak… they started a 3-on-1 fistfight… but they beat me. Some villain came then, about 8:30... it was some dude with a red scarf and a mask with swords. The others ran away, I couldn't, he asked if I wanted to be a hero, said that there is only 1 hero.

He made me think that heroes are bad… but I realised he was a villain. Heroes are just people with strong quirks, he said. Attacking me with a sword, thinking I was a fake hero... no. But he got me with the sword, licked up some blood. Couldn't move…

After a while, I could move. No heroes came to help... nobody called any. He had stabbed me in the arm, but I felt nothing, and I immediately healed... slowly walked home…" she began shaking. I hugged her, rubbing her head.

"Nobody will hurt you while I'm around." I promised. "Wait… describe the villain. Please."

"T-tan… white mask… r-red sk-karf… swords… lots of swords…" Ikaru replied shakily.

My eyes widened. "That was f*cking Stain! We need to call someone before heroes die…"

I turned on the news. Three heroes dead… "Nevermind." I said.

"I'm calling Zuku." Ikaru said.

An hour of panicked and soothing words later, Ikaru hung up.

A month later, Midoriya POV

Going on a date with my girlfriend… a-fr*cking-mazing! Today will be great! I met Ikaru at the restaurant. We had a normal date. Amazing, but normal. We walked home. In front of my house, we hugged. Then. F*cking. Kissed. Best moment of my life. But it didn't last long. We hugged once more. Then, Ikaru went limp. I looked into her eyes, confused. I saw a problem. An arrow was sticking out of her back. Ikaru smiled at me drowsily. My eyes widened, SHE WAS DYING!

"nononof*ckno…" I moaned, crying. Ikaru looked up at me, like she didn't hurt. An arrow in your back should hurt!

"Please… don't… make this… harder… than it… need… be… love ya, Zuku. No… don't cry, please… please… no."

"Don't leave me Karu… stop… don't leave… please!" my heart felt like it was the weakest of glass dropped off of a canyon. Which is to say, broken. Honestly, why couldn't it have been fast!? Why must they make her die slowly!?

I hugged on to her, tight. Blood pooled on the red-green grass. Sobbing, I hugged her tighter. She patted me on the back before saying,

"Goodbye, Zuku, love." Before smiling one last time. I called the police immediately after. Katsuki is going to murder me… too soon, brain. Way too soon.

I actually walked in the house at about 9. Tears were still flowing like rivers. My mom came and hugged me. Wasn't the same.

UA tryouts, Katsuki POV

Ikaru disappeared a while ago. Midoriya was with her. Mom and I kept the news off. I ignored all texts. When Midoriya tried out (I'm making this sound like cheerleading), I ran up to him, an odd look on my face. Midoriya didn't crack a smile. His eyes looked dull, his expression bored.

"Where's my sister!?" I whisper-screamed in the city where robots were supposed to attack us.

His expression never changed, but his eyes flashed dangerously.

"Ikaru is dead." the words that I dreaded to hear came monotonously from Midoriya's mouth. My red eyes filled with tears. I brutally attacked all of the robots that came at me. I was in.

10 years later Katsuki's POV

I was in the middle of a fight, saving a girl from a villain. I won, of course, I'm strongest, but something was wrong. And right. She was a little girl with purple hair and cherry-red eyes. She was like a mini Ikaru.

Yes, I'm a hero. The girl rode in a piggyback fashion, sobbing into my shoulder.

Because my hero name is: The Avenger.

Better than lord explosion murder.

Hey! this is my first fic so leave reviews, flames, questions, and suggestions ;D
