Hello, everyone. Here's another chapter for you all to read. Thank you all so much for this reading this story, it means the world to me. Also, there will be a time skip after this chapter.

Izuku tagged her rosy pink dress for the twentieth time. Today, her aunt Hatsu had invited some girls that were related to her friends. According to her aunt, Izuku needed friends her own age to spend time with. Saying that it will be good for her. This is why Hatsu had made a small party inside the house since it was chilly outside. It was a tea party for the girls.

She wishes that Yuzu was here with her today. But the young woman was probably enjoying her day off with Ken. Apparently, what Raki said at Naoki's house had gotten thought to their family's ears. They decided to let Izuku be social with other people without the presents of her family.

The green-haired girl was in her room while the guests were coming soon. Although she tried to be happy about this, Izuku couldn't help feel uncomfortable about doing this. She probably never met these girls before. Unlike Izuku, they all were born into their rich families while she was adopted into hers.

While Izuku was waiting in her room, her aunts were making sure everything was perfect. Hatsu had the cooks severed health lunch for the girls while Azuki made sure the table was ready and set. Everything was shown to be perfect by the Fukui women. Nothing was out of place.

"Make sure these are kept from overheating, they can be crutching if they do," Hatsu said to the cooks.

"Yes, Hatsu-sama!" They said at the same time.

Back in Izuku's room, the little girl was looking at herself in the mirror. Her rosy pink dress was pretty like the others made by her aunt. But she felt it was too fancy for her. It had small red roses on it with a sweetheart. Her hair was tied up with a beautiful style. She was wearing her necklace that she was given at Akira's engagement party. She was wearing light makeup that was pink as well. And just like at the engagement party, Izuku didn't truly felt like herself anymore while feeling more than a doll than anything else at the moment.

However, the more she looked at her mirror, the more she noticed how her body was now so different than when she first came here. Her body was a little curvy than she believed it to be. Her waist was a bite small while her breasts and hips were bigger than she remembered. Honestly, Izuku could no longer recognize herself. She felt she was a stranger to her own self.

Izuku knew she was going through the stages of life since her body was maturing into adulthood. But she couldn't help feel her childhood was over now. Her body was even noticeable at school. The other students had tended to make remakes on her body. Male students had often commented how her body was nice and soft looking it is while the female ones had said her body and pretty face were the only good thing she has since she's Quirkless.

Both Kacchan and Akira had often threatened any boy who looked at her. However, the only one who wasn't into her body was Tenko. At least he respects her. It most likely he saw her more as a little girl than a young woman.

However, there were still students who didn't care how her body looks. They tend to overlook her body by her lack of a Quirk. That hurt her more than the students only looking at her for her looks. Those students treated her like she was a delicate porcelain doll. Some had often open doors for her while others had tended to help her chores at school even though they were the easiest ones that the school had given her. Back when she younger, Izuku didn't mind since some kids mean to her since Quirkless. But when she got older, she realized they'll never see her as a capable person who can do things just fine without a Quirk.

Izuku ran over her hands on her body. She couldn't help but feel strange every time she looks at herself. She couldn't do in the bathroom while taking a bath or shower since Yuzu was with her. And since no one was with her, Izuku felt a little relief she has this time to herself.

She remembered when her entire family was out while she was in her room watching TV by herself in the house, she accidentally saw a very mature movie. The movie had a young teenage girl going through puberty with new urges she never felt before. One of them in which she was touching herself even though she was ashamed to do it. Izuku had ended up being curious about how can a person pleasure themselves. However, she didn't want to do it since it was embarrassing and her family is always with her.

While she wasn't touching her flower as most girls would, she was still caressing her own body nevertheless. Her breasts were almost the same size as her hands. Her hips smooth. Her beautiful eyes were close since she didn't want to look at herself while she was standing in front of her mirror.

She did hear that it was much more pleasurable if you imagined someone while you're touching yourself. But Izuku didn't want to do that. She couldn't imagine Kacchan or Akira doing this to her. However, the little girl soon thought to her friend Tenko. Imagining him touching her like this. His hands were either covered by his gloves or his fingers were sticking out since his Quirk could hurt her.

Tenko's hands were roaming all over her body while she melted into his embrace. Her face was blushing as she thought more of Tenko doing this to her. Izuku wonder if her friend would always see her as a little girl instead of a woman.

"Izuku, are you ready to make friends?" Azuki asked as she walked into her niece's room.

Izuku blushed madly. She felt lucky that her aunt had walked in on time her hands had roamed to her neck. She didn't know how her aunt would react if she walked in early.

"Yes, Auntie Azuki," Izuku said while she tried not to look at her.

Tearoom

There were five new girls in the tearoom. Izuku felt a little out of place in the room. The five girls chattered among themselves while Izuku kept to herself as usual. The green-haired thought of ways to make a good impression on them. The others were a lot prettier than Izuku herself.

"Maybe I should try to and ask what are their Quirks and how they work?" Izuku muttered to herself. However, her muttering had caused the other girls to be creeped out by her and her muttering.

Hearing Izuku's muttering was creepy and scary to them. It almost sounds like she was saying a curse or something. The girls moved faraway from the Quirkless girl they were forced to meet.

"I was wondering what kind of Quirks do you all have?" Izuku finally asked nervously.

However, unlike most people who would proudly tell a person their Quirks, these girls were more creeped out that question.

"Do you mind if I write down your Quirks while you tell me how they work?" Izuku asked as pulled out a paper notebook under the table.

Unfortunately, that was the final straw for the girls. They all ran out of the tearoom and out of the Fukui mansion. Running past Masanori who looked confused but soon realized that Izuku must accidentally scare them off, most likely by her cute muttering.

Walking into the tearoom, Masanori saw his step-granddaughter was a little sad the girls had left her. Izuku didn't seem to notice him. Setting down next to her and riffled her hair, Izuku turns and saw her step-grandfather had entered the room. She smiled since he was here with her. He was always so kind to her. Izuku wonders why her grandmother would even have an affair with someone else.

"I think I made them hate me," Izuku said while she looks at her notebook.

"Don't be so sad, my dear. Those girls had lost their chance to be friends with you. There'll be plenty of others who will love you," Masanori said gently to her.

Masanori pulled out something. It was an old wedding picture of him and his then-wife Chiemi. He gives it to Izuku to show it. Izuku's eyes widen when she saw her grandmother when she was younger. The photo was beautiful. Masanori and Chiemi looked happy together. Izuku could tell there was love in their eyes. Her grandmother looked so beautiful in her wedding dress.

"The day your grandmother Chiemi and I got married was the happiest day of my life. I felt I was the luckiest man on Earth to have her as my wife. I couldn't wait to start our lives together," Masanori said.

"I'm sorry she hurt you, Grandpa," Izuku said.

Masanori merely smiled at her. He petted her head.

"Would you excuse me, Izuku? I'm going to take my nape now," He said as he yawned and got up from his chair.

Izuku looks back at the old picture after her grandfather left. She caresses the photo gently. She felt sad that her grandmother wasn't here with her. Maybe if Chiemi was still alive, she and Masanori could try and work things out. Maybe her mother Inko could have closer to her half-siblings. They all could have become a happy family.

While she looks at the wedding picture, it was snitch from her hands. Izuku looks up and saw her aunt Hatsu and uncle Haruto. They were very angry. Behind them were her aunt Azuki and uncle Habiki who scared for her.

"Izuku, where did you get this?!" Haruto asked angrily at her while holding the picture.

"Grandpa gave it to me," Izuku answered quietly.

However, Hatsu threw everything on the table onto the floor. She was very angry. Izuku stands back from her aunt and uncle. Afraid she was going to be punished like last time. But she was grabbed by her aunt.

"Tell us the truth, Izuku! Where did you get this picture!?" Hatsu shouted at her niece who was crying at this point.

"Haruto, Hatsu, that's enough," Azuki said.

Izuku didn't want to be in the presence of her aunt and uncle right now. But her aunt was holding her tight. She tried to get her notebook before they saw it. But it was too late. Haruto saw it and grabbed it.

"Please don't, Uncle! Please!" Izuku begged.

"Enough of this, Izuku! You're not going to be a hero!" Haruto yelled as tore the notebook apart, along with his little niece's heart.

"That woman in the picture wasn't a good person, Izuku. She hurt her own family for her personal happiness. What you want to be that kind of person?!" Hatsu asked as she shook Izuku harshly.

"Why do you always keep doing this?! We try to raise you to be a good girl and all you do is causing trouble!" Haruto shouted as he grabbed Izuku's chin very painfully.

Izuku cried while her aunt and uncle were screaming at her for seeing the picture of her grandmother, their mother. Habiki and Azuki did nothing but watch in horror as their spouses shouted at their niece. The shouting was heard all over the mansion. Izuku's cousins covered their ears. Too scared to even listen. The servants tried to mind their business as much as they can. Masanori was sleeping, unaware that his children were harshly treating Izuku. The green-haired girl felt so small as her aunt and uncle won't stop screaming at her.

I hope you guys like this chapter. This one was really dark to write. Poor Izuku. You just want to protect her from her family. Even when she's being honest, they still doubt her.
