Welcome to the next chapter.

Clearwing Yuta; Thanks!

Darth Simp; Thank you! Yeah, when he does, it's going to be pretty cool~ When he does, I'm sure All Might's gonna have a bunch of questions, the same with Yuki. Yeah, he could go there to help Yuki out. I could see the dorms being a thing earlier yeah. Eri could be yeah, that would be nice between them. Yeah, that would be good if both classes attended. That's a cool team to have. Thanks for the harem suggestions.

TheGreatGodzilla; I couldn't say about Hana. That would be an interesting arc between them. They could do, if I think of things for them to do. Yeah, Katsuki was mentioned to be a girl in the first chapter when Yuki thought about her. I don't know about that yet, since we don't know what's going on with Kurogiri as of the posting of this chapter. Yuki's survival, and other things shall be explained when his backstory is more elaborated on. Thanks for the suggestions. The league pretty much is unstoppable for the most part in canon with Tomura and how crazy his Decay powers get. They don't exist.

ShadowUzumaki55; Thanks. Yuki does yeah, he knows how to fight and defend himself. All Might has yeah, we'll be seeing that pretty soon! Ochaco does yeah. It seems he really does want Yuki gone, at least for reasons to do with Tomura.

Guest 1; In their own way they're both strong.

Silver crow; Thanks, glad you liked it. All Might has yeah. He'll make the offer pretty soon. It depends on the Quirk and how complex it is, as shown in canon a few times that people have different applications to how their Quirk works. Yeah, everything Yuki owns, he carries in his backpack. Yeah, Yuki's not had many major kindnesses in his life, save a few exceptions we'll learn about. Maybe Mei did yeah. Ochaco and Yuki are becoming quite close. That necklace is quite important to him and another character, we'll see the significance of it pretty soon. Yeah, he'll eventually be able to make spikes. Mt Lady could be, she's quite like that. Thanks for the harem suggestions. Yuki and Kota will have a good dynamic, since Yuki lost his family at a young age as well. Maybe he could help Ragdol. He does hate AFO for how he's made his life be to this point.

Guest 2; Yeah, he has to dye his hair since it always goes back to being its original colour. Yuki gave the explanation to Ochaco, he doesn't use it on people as he doesn't fully know what it would do. Yeah, maybe he will activate it before then. Yeah, Yuki's got experiences with a Quirk unlike Izuku so when he gets One For All, he'll be able to figure some stuff out with it quicker. Yuki's pretty smart, being able to evade All For One for as long as he has gives him a good deal of intelligence. He wouldn't need two years to catch up. Himiko appears in this chapter. Yeah, he'll learn how to use his Quirk in more and more ways. We'll see what happens with Sir Nighteye. Maybe Yuki could do.

djinn; Thanks! Yeah, it's gonna be quite the ride. Yeah, they'd be cool choices.

Andrew123456; Yeah, maybe they could do.

Guest 3; Thanks very much! Yeah, I've got a few things planned for the coming chapters. He doesn't know about Tomura being alive, he's under the assumption that he could be, he's hoping he is, but right now he doesn't know. That would be a pretty interesting development for Yuki's Quirk, I could definitely see that happening. Thanks for the harem suggestions!

Guest 4; Thanks for the harem suggestions!

Guest 5; Yeah, that would be a nice idea for a story to do. I could see Shemhazai being quite like that. That would be a cool harem, thanks for the suggestions.

Eavise; Thanks for the harem suggestions!

Any of one; She'd be cool yeah.

Guest 6; Yeah, I don't see why she couldn't, so that would be pretty cool, thanks for the suggestions!

Guest 7; Tough question lol. After listening to those voices, I could see them fitting their characters pretty well.

CPU-BLANC-WHITE HEART; Yeah, it surely will be~

Guest 8; Thanks for the harem suggestions. Being Serafall's son would definitely be a pretty interesting way to go about it, nice peerage, I quite like it!

Guest 9; That would be a fun dynamic to play around with between father and son. That's a cool harem list, and yeah, Isane could be in his peerage for a cool change, thanks for the suggestions.

Momo fan; Yeah, she surely is. Yeah, they'd be good additions. He will be gaining One For All pretty soon. Yeah, he'll meet some, he might have already met some off screen, he's been travelling for a good while now. Yeah, lets see how they handle that.

Guest 10; I was surprised that random background character came back like that and had such a speech, even remembering him was surprising, I thought it was a pretty cool callback to chapter one.

Guest 11; Okay, thanks for the thoughts.

With those reviews out of the way, it's time to start the chapter!


The girl behind the mask

"Come on Himiko, look at this, doesn't it look cute?"

A young fair skinned girl, with blonde hair that fell straight down the back of her head, reaching down to her shoulders, followed her Mother around a shopping district early in the morning, though because school was off for her for the time being, she didn't have to worry about being late for any classes.

The young girls yellow eyes glanced at her Mother, she looked like an ordinary young girl, who looked around the age of 13-14 years old, a middle schooler.

The girl wore a smile on her face, but that was hiding something within.

A mask covered what she felt deep inside.

Her Mother pointed out a frilly dress, and Himiko did think it looked cute.

"Yes Mama, it looks really cute."

"Maybe I should get it for you?"

The Mother suggested, with Himiko tilting her head.

"That would be nice."

As they walked passed a certain shop, it displayed some of a fight on the screen that had taken place, with a Hero and Villain facing one another down.

"Disgusting Villains, they should learn to be normal."

Himiko's Mother chided as she stared at the news report.

Himiko looked on with a smile on her face.

She could see a certain red liquid that was coming from one of the Hero's faces.

Her face began to curl more and more upwards at the sight of the blood.

Her Mother noticed, and gave her scrutinizing eyes.

"Himiko, what's with that creepy look on your face?"

Himiko inhaled, before turning back to her Mother, removing any signs of happiness that she felt inside, and replaced it with the fake happiness her Mother expected from her.

"What look Mama?"

Her Mother nodded and they continued on.

As they did, coming out of a shop, Yuki was carrying some bags with hair dye in them.

As he walked out however, four people came shooting out from behind him, forcing him down to the floor with each having nasty looks to their faces.

He tripped near her, she glanced at him, and she saw that some hair dye had fallen out of the bag as his hands placed themselves on the ground.

"Watch were you're going next time kid!"

One of the rough men said, Yuki looked back at him incredulously.

"Don't forget we stole from you!"

A large man said with a strong look to his face.

Another one with pointing up ears got down to Yuki's level, and placed his hand out with the other hand holding a knife.

"Money kid."

Yuki tilted his head.

But then, before he could answer, some people came running of the shop, and turned towards the men that knocked Yuki over.

"Someone stop them! Call the Hero's!"

The men's face dropped, and he began running.

Yuki looked around, but he couldn't see any of the Hero's.

As the one that threatened him tried to escape, Yuki grabbed him from the back of his jacket, and tossed him down to the ground.

"Aah!"

He let out a cry, and turned to Yuki who looked on with narrowed brows.

However, before he could get far, Yuki placed his hand on the ground, and caused some of it to uproot close to his foot, sending them flying into the ground.

"What the hell!?"

"Don't do stupid crap like this!"

"Who was it!?"

The men groaned as they began getting up.

As that happened, Yuki noticed some Hero's had arrived to stop the men from progressing.

However, the one closest to Yuki pulled his knife out, charging for Yuki.

Yuki jumped back, avoiding the knife attack, and then grabbed his wrist, pulling him forward, so he could kick the back of his leg, sending him down to the ground with a thud.

"Bastard!"

Himiko looked on in intrigue.

Yuki then used his Quirk to pin the man down with the concrete coming up like a pillar that turned down onto the Villain.

As he did this, Himiko's excitement grew more and more.

While Himiko's Mother looked on with disapproving eyes.

"That boys parents must be unruly, allowing their child to simply fight like that."

Himiko didn't see it that way.

Seeing how he fought and responded...something pulsated within her.

She looked as some people applauded the young man, the shop keeper came towards him, and bowed his head several times.

"Please don't bow."

"Thank you young man, that man and his group almost got away with many of our products."

Yuki smiled, bowed, and walked back to his stuff to collect it.

Himiko walked closer, and picked up some of the hair dye that had come out of his bag.

"Hair dye..."

"Ooh yeah, thanks."

Yuki presented his hand, so she placed it in his hand, and he in turn gave a small smile.

She glanced at his face, seeing his eyes and hers meeting one another.

But then Yuki saw the time.

"Damn, I'm late." He waved, but then paused, and brought out a coupon. "Ooh here, a coupon." Himiko took it from Yuki, and gazed at it, seeing that it was for a Hero cosplay cafe. "I'm supposed to give these out as apart of a special, so hope you use it! Half off, this week only on the All Might burger meal! Get it while you can!"

Himiko looked at it, then towards Yuki once more.

She saw that he then began running off.

Only for Himiko to glance in his direction when he was running.

She noticed on his bottom lip, there was a small cut.

"He's really cute...I wonder how he got that cut? I wonder...if he works at this Hero cafe thing...hmm, maybe I'll go..."

Himiko thought so she couldn't let her Mother hear her most inner thoughts.

Her eyes then went to the coupon that she received, and she adopted a small smile.

But then her Mother came over, and took it off her.

"Stay away from him Himiko, he's a bad influence, a clear product of how he was brought up. A child knowing how to fight at that age, honestly."

Himiko glanced at her Mother as she screwed up the coupon and threw it in the trash.

Himiko's eyes became colder as she looked towards her Mother.

"I don't understand Mama, he saved people by stopping that Villain, didn't he?"

"Perhaps, but it's strange, abnormal."

Himiko didn't get it.

She actually liked it, seeing how he took down the Villain.

It definitely did intrigue her as she silently walked to the trashcan, before taking the coupon as her Mother's attention was diverted to her phone.


Later on that day, Yuki was still doing his duties back in the cafe, as he noticed the door open.

Today he was dressed up to look like All Might, it seemed that he had looked like him for a good while now, so when the door opened, he saw the same girl he had seen that morning. Only this time, it seemed that she wasn't with her Mother, so he watched her walk towards the counter, and she offered a smile, as did he.

"Hello citizen! What can I get for you?! Shall we Nebraska Smash that menu together?!"

Himiko blinked.

Yuki did the same thing.

Each time he did it, Yuki felt like he was dying a little inside.

It was so embarrassing to him.

Himiko though placed a hand to her own face, and her cheeks began redder.

"That's so cuuuuute~! I love it!"

Yuki scratched the back of his head.

"Thank you. So, what can I get for you?"

"Eh...I don't know!" Yuki blinked at how cheerful she said that. But then Himiko looked at his face, his cut lip, and moved closer. "Your lip, it's been cut recently huh."

Yuki looked at his lip, and then shrugged.

"I suppose so yeah."

"How did it happen?"

"Eh, some idiot was trying to hurt others, so I stepped in to stop them, got a swift punch to the face, but it worked out in the end."

Himiko leaned her arms on the counter, and swayed side to side.

"So you get into lots of fights huh?"

"Not of my own choice."

Yuki replied with a soft smile, Himiko returned it with her own smile.

But then she looked at the scrunched up coupon she had, and placed it on the table.

"This still good?"

Yuki looked down at it, seeing that it had clearly being scrunched up.

But he didn't have a problem with it.

"Yeah, it's good to me. So you want the All Might burger meal?"

"Ooh, I'll have the All Might burger meal then! It looks so big and good~ Can I also have it with strawberry milkshake~?"

"Sure, coming right up."

Yuki quickly had that made.

So when it was done, he presented it to her.

"Have a nice meal."

"Thanks!" Himiko went to turn, but she stopped, and faced him. "What's your name?"

"Ah, it's Yu."

"Yu-kun...that's nice. My names Himiko Toga."

Himiko smiled out, with Yuki doing the same thing.

"Nice to meet you Toga-san. Have a good day."

"You too~"

Himiko walked towards a table, and sat down.

As she looked through the meal, she saw it came with an All Might figure, with her eyes going towards Yuki who dressed similar.

She went into her bag, and brought what looked like paint out, and set some stuff up as she ate.

She changed the colour of the All Might dolls hair, and painted it to look like Yuki's current hair colour did thanks to the hair dye, though she wondered what his real colour looked like since she remembered seeing the colour of hair dye.

She then wrote on the back of it, in big bold letters 'YU' with a small smile appearing on her face, as she allowed her eyes to drift towards Yuki serving other customers.

She smiled "He is so cute...but, there's something else about him...what is it? The look in his eyes..." Himiko looked on, and thought about what it was, but she couldn't work it out.


When she returned home that day, Himiko held her new toy within her hands, where her Mother and Father saw it.

Her Mother recognized the dolls hair colour, and was reminded of Yuki.

"Himiko, did you go to that cafe? When I specifically forbade you from going?"

"Yes Mama, I went to go and get some food."

Her Mother gave scornful eyes, while her Father looked on.

"Did you see that boy?"

"I did Mama, he was really funny."

Her Mother's eyebrows sharpened all the more.

"I told you to stay away from that boy, he's a ruffian, there's no telling what he might be like."

"But he's really kind Mama."

"I said no Himiko, why can't you find a nice normal boy?"

Himiko's mask cracked a little bit, and her voice got lower.

"But you don't know a thing about him."

"I saw all I needed to...tell her dear!"

The Mother roughly said to her husband who let out a breath.

"Himiko, act normal, be with someone that wont get into trouble. Listen to your Mother."

Himiko's eyes stared at her parents, and they looked back with annoyance.

She turned and walked up the stairs in her house, thinking "What is normal? What's to say, this isn't his normal, and my normal?" as she went into her room, quietly contemplating what was going on within her mind.


Days later, Himiko had visited the cafe everyday, she couldn't stay away. More than Yuki's appearance, there was something else she couldn't quite put her finger on that she was admiring.

In a few ways, it felt like she was staring at a reflection of herself, having to hide who she was from everyone else. But it didn't feel entirely like that, it felt like he was hiding something's. She didn't really have any basis for this...apart from the look in his eyes, and even she would admit that wasn't much to go on either.

But it felt like her, having to keep parts of yourself locked away so no one would see.

Fitting into a society that might shun you...

Right now however, it was Ochaco who was feeling good about herself. She thought that this would be a good way to go about it, that she'd be able to make contact with the young man once more, and get to know him even more, so she thought she'd try it at least.

Going inside, she looked for Yuki, her eyes glancing at Himiko but since she didn't know her, kept going until she found Yuki.

Ochaco walked over to the counter, so Yuki spoke up.

"Uraraka-san, what can I do for you? Would you like something to eat?"

"Eh, no, that's okay."

"I see. So, got school soon?"

"Ooh yeah, but erm...before I do...eh...erm...yeah..."

Ochaco looked nervous.

Remembering how he saved her, not once, but twice.

She poked her fingers together shyly as she did so.

She didn't know how to say.

She didn't want to make it sound like more than it was.

But she did wish to see what else she could know about him.

"What is it? Something wrong?"

"No...it's nothing wrong, but you know… Say, erm...are you busy later? I want to thank you properly..."

"As I said, it isn't a worry, no need to thank me for anything."

Ochaco scratched her cheek cutely, albeit she looked a little sad.

"R-Right..."

Inside of him, he was screaming not to do anything.

To simply move on…

But he didn't want to do that.

This was the first person that wished to get to know more about him...in so long, that he couldn't even recall the last time. She wasn't a Hero, and if he was careful, then they could just become casual friends…

He'd like that.

He wanted a friend...he wished that he could have like normal people would.

Yuki lightly smiled.

"I finish at four. Maybe we could meet up then?"

When that was said, Himiko who happened to be sat close by, listened in and furrowed her brows.

"Four! Yeah, sounds good! I'll come here after school then! But what about you? Do you go to school?"

"Home schooled."

"Ooh, how come?"

"It's because I'm never really in one place too long."

Ochaco blinked, she felt rather sad if that was the case.

But she kept up a cheerful tone and continued with a smile.

"Haha, I see~ Then, see you later."

"Yeah...see you then."

Yuki watched as the girl walked out of the shop, and waved.

He looked down at himself.

Thoughts shot through his mind like bullets leaving a gun.

Fast and unknown of what was to come.

"What am I doing? I shouldn't...but, she looked sad, and she was kind enough to come here...just a single time, being a normal teenager wouldn't be bad, right? ...Yeah, I'll be careful, and spend sometime with this girl...just once, I want to see...what it's like..."

Yuki lightly smiled to himself, before going back do his duties for the day.

The thoughts about going out with Ochaco...it felt weird.

But he liked it.

He definitely did like it.


Later on, Yuki went back to working the morning time, entertaining some of the customers.

As he said it, All Might came strolling inside.

Yuki watched as the people gathered around All Might, as the girl pulled back, and placed her hands by her side.

With his radiant smile being so bright, he saw even customers around were flocking towards him.

"It's him!"

"It's really All Might!"

"Wow, he's so cool!"

"All Might, lets take a picture!"

Yuki looked on, seeing how many people requested things from him.

Yuki watched All Might give humble smiles, and strong words to the crowds.

As All Might did that, Yuki kept his head down and got on with his work, cleaning the counters…

That was until he saw All Might looking towards him from the corner of his eye.

He was holding up what looked like a packed lunch.

Yuki blinked, and then saw All Might pointing towards it, and then made the 'come over here' gesture with his hand, along with seeing eyes that made Yuki think that he was watching someone with amusement calling someone else over.

Yuki sweat dropped at the sight.

But he placed down the cloth within his hand and walked over towards him.

"Hello again young citizen! Sorry for my absence, so many Villains! Quite the coincidence that we've met again!"

"You knew I worked here, so can it be called a coincidence?"

All Might almost face faulted.

But he kept his composure and looked on strong.

"Well, maybe you're right! Anyway, would you like to eat lunch with me!?"

When he said it, he saw people whispering things like "Why's All Might taken an interest in that boy?" and things of that nature.

"S-Sure...lets go!"

Yuki grabbed his hand and rushed out of the area, with All Might being dragged behind.

Going towards a secluded location, which was a rooftop in the middle of the city, at the request of All Might, who wished to eat up high for reasons that Yuki was currently unaware of.

Though when he looked over the city, he did think that it was rather lovely to see the bustling city living their lives as freely as they could.

"It's a good view, isn't it!?"

"Y...Yeah, I suppose it is."

Yuki agreed, with All Might presenting him food.

When he did, and he looked at it…

It looked fantastic to his eyes.

To most, it would seem like an ordinary bento.

But for Yuki, who didn't eat much, and when he did it was only cheaply made things that cost very little...it looked like he was staring at the foods of the Gods.

So much so that when he took a bite, he smiled so brightly.

The textures, the flavours filled his senses.

His passions for food reignited with such a simple but tender flavour at the same time.

Even though technically it wasn't much, to Yuki, it was something that was amazing.

All Might noticed the look on his face, more joy than he had seen anyone give from such a simple boxed lunch before, and blinked several times.

"Are you...okay?"

Yuki stiffened, and looked at the food, before peering at All Might's face.

"Y-Yeah, fine...I'm fine...s-so, how come you're here? I'm sure there's other things that you need to do, right?"

"Yes, you're probably right, but even I can take time off, you know?"

Yuki chuckled lightly.

He really did find it sweet All Might was doing this just for him.

"I don't doubt it. It just sees that you don't take much time off. You're always in the news, you're on every website about Hero's, always doing something else that's amazing. I was just wondering when do you have any downtime?"

All Might was quite taken aback by his question, he hadn't expected it to be like that.

"W...Well, as a Hero, there are times when downtime isn't a thing that you can have. But, there are times that I can squeeze in, like now for example. Speaking of, if I may ask, is being a Hero a profession you're interested in young man?"

Yuki's face fell slightly, as a certain man's image came to his mind.

The face of someone he didn't want to remember.

"...Not sure yet."

That was his honest reply, but not in the way that All Might took it.

He wasn't sure if he wished to be a Hero, he wasn't sure if he could be a Hero, due to the circumstances that he was currently going through.

"Hmmm? You aren't sure? But what I saw, you have a Hero's mentality!"

"A Hero's mentality...back then, I didn't think about it. I had to do it, my mind was compelling me, and so was my heart, even if it was dangerous for me. I couldn't stand the thought of someone being hurt. Is it strange to say it like that?"

All Might understood that feeling very well.

To the point that he had a big grin on his face.

"Not at all! That's the mentality of a Hero, doing your best for someone else, saving their lives. Even when dangers are coming for you. The essence of a Hero is to save and protect, and during the times you did that for Uraraka-san, both times that I have witnessed, that was what a Hero is."

When All Might said it, the child that loved Hero's within Yuki truly loved hearing that.

A Hero like All Might, one with great strength and great kindness, saying that to someone like Yuki who didn't think he'd ever have the chance to become a Hero, now hearing one of the best Hero's ever say such things to him.

"Young Yu, I actually do have something I'd like to talk about."

Hearing his serious voice, Yuki tilted his head.

"What is it?"

"It's...how to say...your home life, what is that like?"

Yuki wasn't surprised All Might asked this, he wasn't stupid and probably was guessing by how injured Yuki was something wasn't right.

"My home life...it's fine, typical stuff with like a Mom and Dad...don't know what to say, pretty average I guess."

All Might wasn't fooled so easily.

"Is that so? Hmm, Young Yu, you know, anything you tell me..."

"Really, it's fine."

It felt so difficult to lie about it.

But for All Might's health, Yuki felt like he'd have to do it.

Yuki looked at his watch, and gasped.

"Look at the time, I've got to go now All Might."

"Wait, you have to go now?"

All Might didn't want to end the conversation, he wished to speak about Yuki's life, as he knew something's wasn't right.

Though Yuki also thought about the money that he could lose if he didn't get back to his job, so while he was interested in what All Might had to say, he had to cut the conversation a little short.

"Work, can't have a long break, and I kinda took off in the middle of a busy hour. I'll be lucky if I don't get fired for it, been doing that a few times haha~"

"Ah...well, I see. I'm sorry about that, I'll speak to them for you and smooth it over!"

"That's...very kind of you, thank you."

All Might shook his head.

"Not a problem! Then maybe we could see each other soon? I'd like to talk about your home life soon...okay? You can trust me, if anything is...bad at home, you can tell me and I'll help you."

Seeing the look on All Might's face, how concerned he was, Yuki really did appreciate it, so much that even All Might didn't know how much it meant to Yuki to know someone cared about him, so he smiled, and placed his hand on top of All Might's in a surprising turn.

"Thank you for caring about me, but really, everything's fine. But...maybe we could talk again? I...I really like talking to you All Might."

All Might adopted a small smile.

"Yes, I'd like to as well...in fact, here." All Might produced a paper and pen, and wrote down a number. "Day or night, call me, and I'll be right there. Whatever you need, even if it is to simply talk."

Staring at the number, seeing how All Might truly did wish to help, Yuki really did wish to accept it, but that small voice in the back of his mind telling him what would happen, was getting smaller and smaller, he felt like he could open up more to All Might, to the point he felt like he could ask All Might for help, and everything would be okay.

Thanks to All Might's genuine nature, and how much he cared...

Yuki took the number, and placed it in his pocket.

"Thanks All Might, I've got to go, see you soon."

Yuki stood, pulled back, and waved, then he went to the fire escape, crawling down it.

All Might inhaled slowly.

All Might looked on, he wanted to help the boy, more than simply to pass on One For All...he had grown to really like Yuki, and hated feeling that he could be in trouble, but didn't know what it was yet. He even had some help trying to find out more about Yuki, but no information had turned up, even having his detective friend lend assistance, Yuki's existence outside of that cafe seemed to not be a thing, which really confused All Might.

However, he wouldn't give up.

Since he was a Hero, he wanted to save this child, he'd not give up no matter what.


Himiko couldn't understand it...

But she couldn't stay away from the cafe.

She didn't get why.

She thought Yuki was cute sure...

But there was something else playing on her mind, and she wasn't sure what it was.

Whenever she looked at him, there was something there, that she currently lacked.

But she couldn't be sure what it was.

If it was something she had but couldn't release.

If it was something that she desired.

She wasn't sure at all.

So around lunch, she was able to sneak out of her school, and went towards the cafe.

Changing into ordinary street clothing, she went towards the cafe once more, and saw that Yuki was sat down by himself at a counter.

So she went towards said counter.

"Not busy?"

Yuki shook his head.

"Just missed the lunch rush, it usually gets a bit quiet, so I was about to go on my break."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Yuki waved his hand.

"Please don't worry, so what can I get you?"

"Well, I don't have any coupons today, so I'll try something different...ooh, that Midnight sandwich looks good. Midnight's the one who wears little clothing, right?"

"In the past I think so yeah, I think it was changed due to her actually."

"Hehe she was being free, I can get that."

"That's an interesting way to look at it." Yuki mused, Himiko nodded. "So, is that all?"

"Aah, no, can I also get another strawberry milkshake?"

"Sure, coming right up!"

Yuki got what she desired, and gave it to her.

She grinned, and sat down.

She looked over Yuki, seeing that he took his break.

She watched as he sat down on a table nearby, so she stood up, and walked over.

"Can I sit here?"

Yuki looked up, nodding.

"Sure, go for it."

She smiled out "Thanks." and sat opposite him.

As she ate her food, she looked towards Yuki.

"Say, Yu-kun, can I ask you something?" Yuki nodded. "Then, can I ask, how do you know how to fight? My Mama said that fighting is what delinquents do."

"Heeh, I see. Well, I learned how to fight, to protect myself. You know, from those that are trying to hurt me or others."

"Yeah...I thought it was something like that. My Mama and Papa don't really get it...but I do. Being able to fight doesn't mean you're bad, or it's weird."

"Right, I think it's good being able to defend yourself from the actual bad people."

Yuki replied, which Himiko got.

She hated how her parents pressured her to be the good girl...and forget the desires that she had, because they weren't 'normal' in their eyes.

She kept wondering, what was her normal, what was normal.

"Yeah...by the way Yu-kun, do your parents...do they ever tell you to stop doing what you love to do?"

"Like what?"

"Like...say you have a hobby that they think isn't good, would they tell you that you couldn't do that? Force you to stop?"

Yuki hummed, thinking back to a certain man, who hated Hero's in his life, and hated Yuki wanting to be one, and what would happen when he did say he wished to be a Hero.

"Well...I suppose that you could say that yeah, but it didn't stop me dreaming about what I wanted to do."

That caused Himiko to smile even more.

The fact that even if others were against what he dreamed, he'd still dream.

As they spoke, she learned more about him, and the more she did, she really liked.

Himiko's cheeks turned more and more red.

His words, the way he laughed, she couldn't understand why her parents would want her to stay away...to her, he seemed like a really good person, someone she quite liked...


Four in the afternoon soon came and like she had promised, Ochaco came back to the shop, just before four.

When noticing her, he held up his hand to show he'd be five minutes, Ochaco nodded and waited patiently.

When he finished, he came walking to the front of the shop with Ochaco saw on his shirt that it had a picture or Mirko, the rabbit Hero.

"Mirko-san? I didn't know that you liked her."

"Eeh, I really do. It's kinda embarrassing...but she is really cool, I like how she fights. Anyway, ready to go?"

Ochaco thrusted her hand up.

"Yup, lets go!"

Energetically, the girl and boy combo walked out of the shop, and began going down the street.

While doing so, Yuki felt something odd.

Like he was being watched.

But when he looked around, he couldn't see anything.

Still…something felt off.

Shaking his head, he continued on, as a certain someone followed after them, her eyes fixated on Yuki.


Yuki and Ochaco managed to go down a few streets, and were walking together. They hadn't spoken much. It seemed Ochaco was unsure of what to say and Yuki was quite the same way, as neither had much experience with it before.

Ochaco was naturally friendly.

But on this occasion, she wasn't sure why, but she was having trouble finding the words.

"So, what do you want to do?"

Ochaco asked, Yuki chuckled nervously.

"Eeh...I don't know, what do people do together?"

"You don't know?"

Yuki shrugged.

"Got no friends, so I haven't been out like this in a good long time."

He replied truthfully, Ochaco felt a small tinge of sadness for him.

"How come? I think you're funny~"

"Well, I'm never really in one place too long for me to really make friends, it's why I'm home schooled. I move a lot...due to my Dad's work. For all I know, I could be gone in a week or two, it really is a hectic life, but my Dad and Mom seem to cope with it, and it's...well, I'd prefer to have friends of course, but kinda difficult if I'm not around too long to make such connections."

Ochaco furrowed her brows.

"That sounds lonely. Well I'll be your friend!" Ochaco casually took his wrist, and began pulling him, as a girl that followed them sharpened her eyes. "Come on, I'll show you what friends do!"

Yuki felt his lips curl up more and more.

He felt something within him truly enjoying this.

Like he had missed this for a good long time now, and he was finally able to experience it.

"Right, lets do it~"

Smiling, Yuki followed Ochaco towards the arcade.


As they arrived, Yuki looked at the different people around. Teenagers, young kids, people that he could see having fun.

Ochaco in the meantime smiled as Yuki did the same thing, seeing others having fun, and him having a good time with Ochaco, their conversations making him feel more and more relaxed, which was a very welcoming thing to the young man.

"Lets find something to do Yu-kun..."

"I'm up for anything~"

"I'll hold you to that Yu-kun~"

Ochaco giggled, as they walked into one of the arcades around.

Moving through it, Ochaco paused when she saw a dance platform.

"Hey, you should totally try this~"

"Me? Eh, I'm not much of a dancer."

Ochaco got behind him, and began pushing him towards it.

"See, it says it is free today only~" She pointed at the sign, then she turned back towards Yuki. "So, try it out, okay? Come on, I'll cheer you on~ I didn't ask you to sing in the cafe, so please dance for me instead~"

Yuki gave a curious look, seeing the adorable look on Ochaco's face.

He threw his hands up.

"Sure, I guess that I could try it out once."

"Yes! I can't wait to see you dance!"

"But, if you do it too~"

He added on, giving off a frivolously tone.

Ochaco became embarrassed, and shook her head side to side.

"No, no~ I couldn't~"

"Come on, lets dance together. It would be fun~ Aren't you supposed to be teaching me how teenagers have fun?"

Ochaco placed a finger to her lips shyly.

"W-Well, maybe I could do..."

"That's the spirit! Lets dance off, loser has to do what the winner says~ No questions asked. Of course, within reason, can't ask for us to go and be hitmen or something~"

Ochaco felt the passion in her eyes, and nodded strongly while tightening her hands.

"You're on! Lets do this!"

Like that, the pair began dancing together, to a song that Yuki was fairly unfamiliar with. But when he looked at Ochaco, he saw that she was going for it, and she was dancing quite a bit, showcasing some unique dance moves.

Compared to hers, his felt stiff, though that was mostly part due to some pain shooting through his body when he would move in a certain way.

Looking on, the girl that followed them darkly glared at Ochaco.

Ochaco smiled as Yuki danced stiffly.

She found it so funny and yet, she loved it at the same time, because of how stiff the movements were.

So by the time they finished, Ochaco won the dance off, leaving Yuki chuckling awkwardly.

"Well, that went how I expected."

"So, now that I won, I can ask for anything, right?"

"Yeah, sure. What would you like?"

Ochaco posed in thought.

"Do I have to say now?"

"No, you can cash it in at a later date."

Ochaco winked.

"Great, then I'll do just that, and keep it to myself for the time being." As she spoke, something hit her in the head. "Aah! What was that?" Ochaco looked down and saw that it was a pomegranate. "Ow, that kinda hurt, who threw that at me?"

Yuki looked around, but couldn't see anyone.

"Maybe it was an accident."

"Yeah, maybe it was..."

Ochaco furrowed her brows, she wasn't entirely sure.

"So, what should we do now?"

Ochaco smiled, and twirled around.

"Lets keep exploring, okay?"

"Y-Yeah, lets~"

Smiling at one another, the pair continued their adventure together, and did their best to make conversation, something the pair seemed to be slightly struggling with. But as time went on, it became more and more natural, to the point that they were enjoying one another's company a great deal.

As they did, following closely behind, the young girl kept her eyes on Ochaco, staring at her more and more with darker intentions.


Spending a few hours together, Yuki and Ochaco were walking back to the cafe, so Ochaco could head back home, since it was on the way anyway, Yuki thought that it would be the good thing to do to make sure she got there safely.

As they did, Yuki played the days events within his mind, and couldn't remember the last time that he had so much fun.

That he could just relax, and be a normal kid for a change.

He truly wished that he could do this even more than ever before.

"So, I said to the guy, I can't make your problems float away~ I might be able to remove gravity, but it doesn't work on problems."

Yuki laughed at the joke Ochaco told.

"Haha, that's pretty funny Uraraka-san."

Ochaco nodded, as she felt like she could speak rather openly with Yuki.

Despite the short amount of time together, each time they interacted...she enjoyed herself.

She was having fun.

And she liked to have even more fun.

"Today's been really fun, I can't remember the last time that I laughed so much~"

Yuki admitted.

Ochaco nodded.

"Me too. It's been really fun~ I'd like to do it again sometime, I mean if you'd like to of course."

Yuki paused, and looked towards her.

His face began to fall slightly when he felt something deep within him.

Some warmth that he wasn't sure what to do with.

"...I can't let her get hurt...even though, it feels good...to have a friend..."

As he thought about it, Ochaco saw that he seemed to be in a daze, so she waved her hand in front of his face.

"Hello, you there?"

Yuki snapped back to reality, his eyes shifting back towards her own.

"Sorry, did I go all dazing out again?"

"Does that happen a lot?"

She lightly joked, Yuki shrugged.

"My heads in the clouds sometimes." He joked around, as Ochaco leaned closer with her giggling away, her hands behind her back in a cute manner. "S-So, what did you ask?"

"I asked, do you want to meet with me again?"

He wanted to reject her for her safety.

But he didn't want to upset her at this moment, after such a good day together.

He also knew it would be a lie if he did reject her.

As he didn't want to stop…

But knew that he had to.

"Y-Yeah, sure. It would be good."

Without his authority, his voice betrayed him and let those words come out.

"Great! Can't wait!"

Ochaco clapped her hands together, as they continued walking.

As they did, his lips curled up more and more.

Maybe…

Just maybe he could do.

Maybe he could stay a little longer…

But, he also knew if he did, then she could be in danger...and he didn't want to selfishly want her to be in harms way.

So what little time they could have together…

He knew he was going to enjoy it the best that he could do.

While Yuki and Ochaco broke apart to go to their homes, the young girl that had followed them, kept her eyes on Ochaco, and murmured "My competition." while disappearing into the darkness herself, her eyes set on Yuki himself.


As Yuki walked back towards a motel that evening, he felt something was off.

He looked behind him, and saw for a moment that the end of a coat had disappeared into an alleyway.

Furrowing his brows, he walked faster, while Himiko did the same thing.

Moving between the shadows, she gazed at him as she felt her own heart beat increase.

She looked around as she did follow him, and was wondering where he was going since there weren't any real houses around here.

She didn't know the reason, so she kept on following him with a small grin working its way onto her face.

He was always cautious, so he took different routes back to where he slept each night, so if he was being followed then they'd not be able to track him down.

Himiko however was pretty good at tracking people down herself.

As Yuki came close to the place he'd be sleeping that night, Himiko looked towards him from the shadows.

However, she hadn't focused on what was behind her, a common thief, who he believed to be a simple school girl in the wrong place at the wrong time.

So the man got in close, and placed his hand around her mouth, and began restraining her arms.

He had a Quirk that increased his physical strength, so getting out of his grasp was difficult.

"Don't worry girl, I just want your money-" As he spoke, Himiko moved her mouth, and bit down on his hand. "Aaaah!"

Releasing her mouth, she called out "Yu-kun!" causing Yuki to pause, and look back, to see that Himiko was being restrained.

Confusion came over him, but it didn't stop him from running over.

"Get off her!"

Yuki slammed his hand down and between Himiko and the man, he caused the earth to slam into him in the form of a pillar.

Freeing Himiko, she pulled back, as Yuki got in close, and placed his hands on her shoulders.

"Are you alright?"

Himiko peered into his eyes, then nodded a single time.

He turned to the thug, and saw that he pulled himself up off the ground.

"You little punk kid, attacking me like that. If you give me your money, then I'll be on my way."

"No deal."

Yuki replied, with Himiko blushing at the expression he made, one that was rather manly and protective at the same time.

The man didn't like that and charged for Yuki with his strong fists, so Yuki jumped up high, and avoided his strike, flipping over him, and got behind him, but the man swung his arm back, so Yuki pulled away, only for the man to release a knife hidden between his fingers at close range, Yuki didn't have time to touch the ground, so he moved his body out of the way, receiving a small cut on his arm.

The cut bled, which Himiko honed in on.

As she did, she saw the man ready to charge at Yuki again, so she saw a metal pipe close by, picking it up from the small alleyway, she rushed behind him, and slammed it hard into his head, the man's eyes nearly popped out so Yuki touched the ground and finished him off with a pillar to the stomach, knocking him unconscious.

As he did, Himiko's eyes couldn't get off of the blood dripping down Yuki's arm.

She felt pulses erupting from her being.

Like an urge was going through her more and more.

"This feeling inside...what is this...? It's so beautiful..."

Desire, feelings that she had suppressed for so long, was clawing their way to the surface.

She could hear in her mind, her parents telling her to be normal.

To stop with what she wanted.

But she couldn't.

The urge was too much, and she pushed down her parents thoughts, and walked closer and closer.

Like she was possessed, and ended up taking his hand.

"Ah, Toga-san..."

Before he could finish, she took his bleeding cut into her mouth, and began drinking it straight from him, her tongue sliding over the cut.

"This feeling...this blood, running through me...it tastes so good..."

Having been repressed all of her life, her desires couldn't be contained.

To the point that she began crying at how good it felt to finally be able to express what it was deep within her.

She was even smiling despite shedding tears, it was so good, the taste, and the way he wasn't looking at her with fear, or resentment, like her parents had done beforehand.

When seeing her cry, and licking his blood, he became more curious than freaked out by this situation, since he had seen a lot, someone licking and drinking his blood was one of the least weird things he had seen.

"Toga-san..."

Himiko pulled back, panting as she felt a warmth spread within her.

Something new was awakening within her.

Something she couldn't describe as anything other than happiness.

More than that...she felt like she could finally discover more about what she was feeling.

Finally...being able to be herself.

"Yu-kun...hehehe, your blood tastes so nice..."

"Toga-san, are you...okay?"

Himiko's face curls up more and more, her lips look like a grin that looked scary and sweet at the same time.

"I'm fine...I'm more than fine, Yu-kun..." She moves closer, and places her hands on his chest, while her eyes go towards his own. "Yu-kun...Yu-kun...this is me...could you like me too?"

Yuki blushed as Himiko got very close, to the point that her breath was tickling his face.

"Ah, well yeah, but Toga-san..."

"Yippie!" Himiko jumped up, and kissed his flushing cheek, before pulling back. "Yu-kun, thank you for saying that, because I really like you. More than anyone else before, you didn't look at me like I was weird...you didn't have hateful eyes for me..."

Yuki paused when she said that.

Those words, caused him to feel sad, if people did look at her like that.

It wasn't something he thought was right at all.

"Y-You do huh...that's really sweet..."

"Don't worry Yu-kun, I can see it in your cute eyes, that you're worried, but don't be, I'm happy, so happy you look at me with those accepting eyes that you have..." Himiko leaned towards him, kissing him on the cheek once more, before kissing the wound he had. "See you soon Yu-kun, I've got something's I need to do."

"Wait, it's dangerous around here, at least let me have a ride take you back home, or I could escort you home, it really is late, and I'd feel worried if I left you alone."

Himiko's blush intensified when he said that, it sounded so gentlemanly to her that she couldn't help but smile.

"I'll be okay! See you later! Don't worry, I'll be back my adorable Yu-kun then we can be together~ Let me try more blood next time, kay? It tastes delicious~ So good, I'm addicted Yu-kun~"

Himiko turned and ran off.

Yuki was naturally worried for her, so he ran after her.

But she was fast, and when he went into the alleyway she did, she was already gone with two splitting paths she could have taken.

"What was that about? She seemed to be different...not just in the way she acted, but her general demeanour...she almost seemed freer than she was beforehand. I hope she's okay..."

Yuki continued looking around for her, for a good hour.

But couldn't find her.

He just hoped whatever was going on with her, that she'd be okay.


The next day, Yuki was working as per usual, going about his duties, while thinking about what was going on with Himiko, not sure what to think about her.

He hoped that she was alright, he had looked for her, but she was able to get away quickly.

"Toga-san, in the moment she drunk my blood, it looked more and more like shackles had come off of her, that she was more free. But I'm worried about her...why did she like drinking my blood? Is it to do with her Quirk? I've heard that certain Quirks can affect someone's mental state, and they'd be more inclined to do things that others wouldn't necessarily do...it seems like she's never had any help with these impulses, she said something about her parents and not being able what to do what she wished to do...poor girl...maybe I could help her...but where do I start...? I have her name...maybe I could look her up, to at least see if she's okay..."

Yuki kept musing within his mind, drawing parallels between himself and Himiko, he didn't want her to go down a dark path because of something no one helped her control in a way that she didn't feel like she had to live a repressed life, at least that's the impression he got from what she said, how she acted, all of it told him that she was probably repressed and never had a healthy outlet for her inclinations.

However, as he thought about it, some people entered the shop.

"Katsuki! Stop yelling at me and go into the damn cafe!"

"I heard you old woman! Don't yell at me!"

"Katsuki! Don't yell at your Mother, and enjoy the cafe!"

Yuki's face fell when he saw a young girl, his age, walk inside of the cafe.

With blonde hair like he remembered, looking rather messy yet somehow looked cute on her with how it would spike up, and even having some bangs fall over her eyebrows. Having a slim figure, her red eyes displayed fierceness.

"She's here...Kacchan...you're really here..."

Seeing her was a really wonderful thing, seeing how she was...

Yet at the same time wondered why she was there.

The girl he had been trying to avoid, for her safety...was now before his very eyes once more.

He didn't think she'd come here of all places, he thought she'd not like it.

As she spoke to her Mother, her eyes drifted to the counter, seeing Yuki.

As they locked eyes, Yuki felt his heart beat increase, while Katsuki stared at his face.

For a few moments, she didn't really seem to care...

But then, something inside of her caused her to pause, and look at his face with curious eyes...


Meanwhile, the creature that All For One had sent out, had arrived in the city Yuki was in.

The sun beaming down on its mindless exposed brain.

It fixated on one thing, and that was Yuki.

Having gained his scent from his Master, the creature was tracking Yuki down.

Sniffing the air, the creatures eyes lit up.

It didn't know exactly where yet, but it had begun tracking Yuki down, and it was honing in on him...


End chapter!

So this chapter developed more between All Might and Yuki, who at first was hesitating to accept help, due to previous experiences, but the more All Might is there for him, the more he wishes to be rescued by him even if he's conflicted about getting others hurt, and All Might in turn is coming to care for the young man more and more, so One For All shall be given to him quite soon.

Ochaco and Yuki also went on what could be called a date of sorts, getting to know one another more, and Yuki feels good around her, to have a friend again, and vice versa, Ochaco seems quite happy to be around him as well. And then at the end , Katsuki came into the story, so we'll see what happens between them!

But the main star this chapter was Himiko! Having a chance meeting, it became something more and more. As she interacted with him, she could see some similarities between them, having to keep parts of themselves hidden, and her own growing infactuations while dealing with her parents disapproval of meeting him, but she persisted and by the end, Himiko's repressed desires overcame her and she gave into the temptations that she had been feeling, and seeing how Yuki accepted her, since someone drinking his blood is on the low end of weird things he's seen, has made her grow all the more fond of him.

Well, until next time, thanks for reading!
