~~Hello good people, I'm back with a new chapter.
My Hero One's Justice Two has cured my writer's block for this fanfic.
I don't own My Hero Academia.
Only my original characters belong to me.~~
Ariel and I joyfully walked into the living room.
Deku and Tsu were streched out across the floor.
I knelt down beside Deku and gave him a hug.
My mind wandered back to All for One as I rubbed the dog behind his ears.
Deku let out a soft sigh.
I patted his head before standing up.
Kara and Melody were sitting on the couch.
I saw Jersey curled up in Melody's lap.
Ariel quietly walked over to pet her. "This little dog is so cute. I love her."
Melody smiled at Ariel in response.
I looked up at Kara and smiled. "Would it be all right if Ariel and I went to a cafe and then the park?"
"Yes, but you need to be home by 7:00," she answered.
"Thank you," I replied with excitement.
Ariel rushed back to my side.
We walked up the steps and toward the front door.
"We'll be back," I said while opening the door.
Kara just waved at us.
Ariel and I stepped out carefully to prevent ourselves from disturbing the dogs.
After walking down the steps, we headed toward a small cafe down the street.
The weather was still gorgeous as ever.
I pulled out my phone. "Wait, I want to invite Shinso. I haven't seen him all day."
"Great idea," Ariel replied.
I called Shinso's number and let my phone ring.
Shinso picked up his phone. "Hello?"
My heart began to race. "Hi Shinso, would you like to meet Ariel and me at the cafe?"
"Of course! I'll see you guys there," he answered before hanging up the phone.
I slipped the phone back into my pocket.
"Shinso said yes," I shouted happily.
"That's good," replied Ariel in relief.
I thought about All for One during our walk.
The horrible condition he was in really worried me.
I wish I could just fully heal him.
Ariel gave me a concerned look as she watched my smile fade. Hey Sioku, is something bothering you?"
"Yes, but I'll tell you and Shinso about it at the park," I answered quietly.
Ariel nodded in understanding before turning away.
After ten minutes, we finally reached the cafe.
I held the door open for Ariel as we walked inside.
The rush of cool air felt refreshing.
It was very quiet in here for some reason.
Ariel pointed at a small table to our right. "I see your boyfriend over there Sioku!"
I groaned at that in frustration. "Come on Ariel, stop that! You know that's not true."
She just laughed at me in response.
I waved at Shinso as we approached the table.
That indigo hair of his was still beautiful as ever.
Shinso was instantly pulled out of his sthoughts when he saw me standing by the booth.
"Top of the evening Sioku," he greeted with a wide grin.
It's been a long time since I last saw him smile like that.
Ariel sat on the opposite side, and I sat beside Shinso.
I pulled him into a tight hug. "Oh Shinso, I missed you so much. I thought about you when those villains attacked us at USJ."
"I missed you so much too Sioku. I'm just glad you're okay," he whispered back.
Hearing his low voice again made my heart flutter.
My mind flashed back to when we first met on the bus.
After letting go of him, I pulled out my wallet. "Who wants to order food with me?"
Ariel happily stood up. I'll go with you."
I pointed to Shinso who was lost in thought again. "Would you like anything?"
Shinso curiously flipped through the menu in front of him. "I'll get a spicy pork cutlet bowl."
"Oh my gosh same here," I shouted with glee.
"I could go for a nice bowl of hot soba," said Ariel.
I chuckled at that as we walked up to the counter.
Ariel and I paid after picking up our food.
Shinso was playing a game on his phone when Ariel and I returned to our table.
I was entertained by the game.
"Hey Shinso," I said while placing a box and a drink in front of him.
"Thank you Sioku," he replied gratefully.
I playfully ruffled his hair. "This is on me Shinso."
There was a long period of silence between the three of us.
We were too busy enjoying our meals.
Once I finished eating, I quietly excused myself from the table.
Ariel and Shinso looked at me, but they didn't say a word.
I quietly walked over to the restrooms after throwing my trash away.
As I opened the door, I looked around to make sure that no one else was inside.
Tomura, Kurogiri, and All for One were still fresh on my mind.
I also thought about when I accidentally frightened All for One in front of his people.
"That was a horrible first impression," I said sadly.
Picturing All for One's weakened state really tugged at my heart like a strong current.
A lump of emotion formed in my throat.
I almost broke down in front of the mirror.
Ariel and Shinso were waiting for me, so I pulled myself together and then headed back toward our table.
I sighed heavily as I plopped down in my seat.
Shinso put a hand on my shoulder. "You seem to be upset about something. What's wrong Sioku?"
"I'll tell you in a few minutes," I whispered.
Ariel pointed to Shinso's empty box. "I'll throw that away for you."
"Thanks," he replied in a low voice.
"Ariel is totally trying to win you over Shinso," I said before laughing out loud.
Ariel playfully slapped my arm. "I am not."
Shinso just stared off into space.
Ariel collected the trash and then carried it over to the waste basket.
Shinso was being quieter than usual.
I could tell that he was worried about me.
I lovingly embraced him again while staring into his eyes. "I'm going to be just fine Shinso."
He smiled warmly at me in response.
I ruffled his hair after letting go of him.
Once Ariel returned, I put my bag on and then stood up.
Shinso stood right beside me.
"Let's go to that beautiful park again," I suggested.
"Yeah, that place is pretty," Ariel added.
"I would love to come," agreed Shinso with a grin.
We exited the cafe and then headed toward the park.
It was 5:00 when we reached the park.
I opened the gate as soon as we arrived.
Ariel and Shinso followed behind me.
The park was still beautiful as could be.
It brought back memories of our last meeting here with my sister Melody.
A light gust of wind shook the leaves in the tall trees.
I led my friends to that same wooden bench by the streaming water fountain.
We peacefully listened to the beautiful water while watching the sunset.
It looked gorgeous in the clear blue sky.
"I wish All for One could be here with us," I thought.
"Hey Sioku, I want to tell you what happened at USJ," said Ariel after a period of silence.
"I was wondering about that," I replied curiously.
Ariel adjusted her sitting position. "When we all got separated, I landed in the shipwreck zone. Midoriya, Asui, and Mineta were with me. We had Mr. Aizawa too, but he was unconscious and badly injured. He lost a lot of blood during his fight with the nomu. Before the villains could find us, we decided to strategize. I was very fascinated by their quirks. Everybody except Mineta stayed calm when the villains finally caught us. I laughed so hard when Asui questioned him about wanting to be a hero. Mineta was still freaking out. I transformed into a Bulldog and circled around the boat to distract the villains. Everybody else defeated them with their strongest attacks. Later, the pros took Mr. Aizawa to the hospital."
A feeling of guilt instantly washed over me at the sound of his name.
Tears welled up in my eyes. "I really wanted to be there to heal Mr. Aizawa. He saved me from the nomu."
"I haven't heard anything about his condition yet," Ariel sadly replied.
I leaned against Shinso and sighed heavily.
He pulled me into a comforting embrace. "It's okay Sioku, I heard one of the teachers say that he's coming back to school on Monday."
"That's great news," replied Ariel in relief.
I was happy to know that Mr. Aizawa would recover.
After a few minutes, Shinso slowly let go of me.
I then stood up and streched my legs.
A breeze lightly brushed against my face.
I took a deep breath before sitting back down.
"Sioku, I want to hear your story now," said Ariel.
"You can finally get it off your chest," Shinso added.
I smiled warmly at my friends. "There's a reason why I was never attacked by the villains. I was purposely separated from everyone because Kurogiri watched me try to heal Thirteen. He transported me to a secluded area. I found myself sitting beside a river. I walked around the entire area, but all I saw were trees. Once I got back to the river, I tried to relax. A young man named Tomura Shigaraki creepily walked up to me. Tomura told me that he would only spare your lives if I healed his sensei. I agreed and followed him into Kirogiri's portal. It led us to a hospital and an abandoned warehouse. My anxiety really got the best of me for a while. All of it went away as soon as we entered their master's room. Lying on that bed was All for One himself. I was devistated by the horrible condition he was in. Luckily, I was able to strike up a conversation with him. It was one of the best moments of my life. Without thinking, I started using my quirk on him. My quirk had an extra boost in power. Sadly, I accidentally frightened All for One. I was very emotional after that."
My friends remained still with stunned expressions on their faces.
Ariel then turned to me in complete shock. "You're not becoming a villain, are you Sioku?"
I felt my blood boiling at her question.
"Absolutely not! I would never do that," I answered sternly.
Ariel and Shinso looked at each other before turning their attention back to me.
"Sioku, please be careful around them. We don't want to lose you," said Shinso concerned.
"Oh I'm not going anywhere," I replied before laughing.
There was a brief moment of silence.
I looked at my friends with a saddened expression. "Please promise me that you won't tell anybody. I could get in big trouble for this."
Ariel's eyes widened in confusion. "Why would we do that to you Sioku?"
"We wouldn't take your happiness away," Shinso added.
I stood up and then hugged them tightly.
A huge grin wiped across my face.
"You guys are the best friends I ever had," I joyfully shouted.
They just laughed in response.
I checked the time on my phone, and it was 6:20.
My eyelids started to drop from exhaustion.
"I should go home now," I said before yawning.
Shaking off my tiredness, I threw my bag over my shoulder and then stood up.
"I'll walk you home," offered Ariel as she rushed over to me.
Awesome," I replied with glee.
"My house isn't far from here. I'll see you girls tomorrow," said Shinso.
"Wait, I'm visiting All for One in the morning," I replied suddenly.
"That's okay, we could meet up this afternoon. I'll ask Kirishima if he wants to join us," Ariel offered.
Hearing that made my heart skip a beat.
I smiled while remembering when he protected me at USJ.
Shinso and I nodded in agreement.
After saying good bye, Ariel and I walked back to my house.
I gave her a hug before we parted ways.
Deku and Tsu greeted me at the door.
"Hello furry friends," I greeted happily.
I let them follow me into the living room.
They circled around me while wagging their tails.
Then Deku chased Tsu into the dining room.
"Good evening Kara," I said with a smile.
"Hi Sioku, there's leftover food in the kitchen for you," she replied.
I pulled the bag off my shoulders. "Thanks, I'm going to put my things away first."
I walked up the stairs and into my room.
The silence in my room caused me to think about All for One and Tomura.
After hanging up my bag, I plugged my phone into the charger near my bed.
I then raced back down the stairs.
Tsu and Deku followed me into the kitchen.
They patiently stood on each side of me.
I prepared a plate and then sat down at the dinner table.
Having the dogs around didn't bother me at all.
Listening to their quiet panting was actually peaceful.
Once I finished eating, I cleaned up the kitchen.
I heard MightYou playing in my head.
Afterward, I headed back up the stairs.
The dogs followed me into my room.
I gently closed the door behind us.
Then I played with them to get their energy out.
The growling and loud barking made me laugh.
"I wish All for One could hear this," I said to myself.
Afterward, I took a quick shower and then brushed my teeth.
Everything that happened today was still fresh on my mind.
Back in my room, I put on My Hero Academia.
Tsu was already fast asleep in the dog bed.
I took a picture of her and sent it to Ariel.
Deku nuzzled me as I climbed into my bed.
I wrapped my arms around him and closed my eyes.
The characters' voices helped me drift off to sleep.
~Morning~
The next morning, I woke up to the bright sunlight glaring through my window.
I hugged Deku and then kissed his head.
My Hero Academia still played in the background.
I decided to wach it for a few more minutes.
Deku was still asleep beside me.
I checked my phone, and the time was 8:30.
My excitement was already starting to take over.
After hopping out of bed, I changed out of my pj's.
I put on jeans and a My Hero Academia T-shirt.
Then I brushed my hair in front of the mirror.
Deku woke up and crawled out of my bed.
"You're so cute Deku," I said before laughing.
He shook off and headed for the door.
After turning off the Tv, I put on my necklace.
"Come on Tsu," I said before whistling to her.
She lifted her head and yawned loudly.
I grabbed my phone and bag before opening the door.
Deku and Tsu bolted down the stairs.
I quietly walked down after them.
Deku and Tsu were waiting at the botom step.
I happily led them toward the back door.
"Go out," I said after sliding the glass door open.
They immediately took off outside while barking.
I couldn't help but chuckle at that.
After closing the door, I prepared breakfast for myself.
Then I sat down at the table.
I sent a message to my group: Good morning.
Ariel replied: How are you Sioku?
I answered: I'm happy as can be.
Shinso said: That's good LOL.
After breakfast, I cleaned up the kitchen.
I almost lost focus while thinking about All for One.
Deku and Tsu were scratching the door, so I let them inside.
They had a wrestling match in front of me.
I made a few Tiktok videos of them.
Then I walked into the living room.
Kara was watching The Big Bang Theory on Tv.
It didn't catch my attention this time.
Seeing All for One again was far more important.
I stood beside the couch where she was sitting. "Hey Kara, may I please take Deku out for a while?"
"Yes, but be careful," she answered.
"Don't worry, I will," I replied.
Trying to hide my excitement, I straightened myself up.
I grabbed a leash from the hook and then clipped it onto Deku's collar.
Deku wagged his tail and shook off with excitement.
"I'll be back later Kara," I said before leaving.
The weather was perfect today.
There wasn't a cloud in sight.
Deku and I walked down to the train station.
All I could think about was visiting my new friends.
I couldn't get All for One's image out of my head.
Once I boarded the train, I led Deku to one of the back seats.
He sat patiently at my feet.
I watched YouTube videos during the thirty minute ride.
Deku just looked out the window.
It was 10:30 when Deku and I got off the train.
We quickly headed toward that same hospital.
I had a determined look in my eyes.
"I'm coming All for One," I whispered.
I pushed the heavy door open and ran inside.
My surroundings didn't bother me because I brought Deku with me.
The long hallway seemed to have no end.
My impatience was driving me crazy.
I let out a sigh of relief as soon as we reached All for One's room.
Deku sniffed the floor while walking in circles.
I gently knocked on the door.
Kurogiri answered and then led me inside.
"Good morning Kurogiri," I said with a smile.
"Hello Sioku," he replied.
The room was still peaceful as ever.
"You better behave yourself in here Deku," I said firmly.
Deku's ears perked up in response.
I quietly walked over to a chair beside the bed and then sat down.
Deku followed and then laid down beside me.
He let out a soft sigh.
I noticed that Tomura wasn't wearing his creepy hand costume.
I like him more when he's not wearing it anyway.
All for One was fast asleep.
He reminded me of the dogs when they sleep in my room.
"Hey Sioku," said Tomura from the other side.
I looked over and saw Tomura playing a video game. "Good morning Tomura, I didn't know you were a gamer too."
He smiled at me and then kept playing.
Watching him play that game was very amusing.
I laughed whenever Tomura got frustrated during battles.
Kurogiri was exercising his quirk in another corner of the room.
Deku started barking as soon as he saw the mist.
I jolted forward in embarrassment.
"Come here now Deku," I said sternly.
Deku jumped into my lap while wagging his tail.
"Sit, you know better," I whispered.
He leaned against my chest while doing so.
"I'm so sorry guys," I said quietly.
Kurogiri just nodded politely.
I hugged Deku while staring at All for One.
Seeing him so calm really made me happy.
I couldn't have imagined a better place to be than by his side.
I played MightYou to maintain our peaceful environment.
After 15 minutes, All for One woke up.
Tomura was still focused on his video game.
I nudged Deku aside and cautiously moved closer to him.
That same magic I felt yesterday was in the air.
I just couldn't wait to start healing him again.
"Hey All for One," I whispered passionately.
I patiently waited for him to respond.
"Sioku," he said with hesitation.
My heart stung slightly as I stared down at All for One with a somber expression.
Tomura turned away from his game and leaned over him. "You don't need to worry Sensei."
I could easily sense their strong bond.
It warmed my heart to know that All for One had someone to look after him.
I lowered my head and smiled. "Yes, I'm so glad you remember me. I couldn't stop thinking about you last night. I really missed you."
All for One started to shift in response.
Suddenly, we heard voices outside the room.
Deku started growling at the door.
"Stop it Deku," I said firmly.
"Does your dog normally do that?" asked Tomura.
"He sure does," I answered with a sigh.
Deku jumped off of me and rushed toward the door.
I watched him carefully as he sniffed around.
My heart began to race as I felt nervous.
I was afraid of frightening All for One a second time.
"This dog right here is Deku. He can be very protective," I explained to my friends.
"He's all right Sioku. People pass by this room all the time," said Kurogiri.
Deku laid down in front of the door and sighed.
"You're such a guard dog," I said while smiling at him.
I then turned my attention back to All for One.
He seemed to be completely out of it.
I quickly turned to Kurogiri with a fearful expression on my face. "What's wrong with All for One today? Is he going to be okay?"
Kurogiri gave me a reassuring smile. "Of course Sioku, he's just not used to you yet. You just need to give Master some time and continue visiting him."
"Thanks Kurogiri," I replied.
Without thinking, I placed my hands on his side.
The glowing light appeared once again.
Luckily, All for One didn't freak out this time.
Luckily, my healing power helped him stay relaxed.
I felt light as can be around All for One.
My dream of healing him was finally coming true.
After a half hour, I started to lose energy from overusing my quirk.
My body didn't have much strength left.
I fell into my chair after pulling away from All for One.
A wave of dizziness washed over me.
I tried not to let it get to me.
All for One flinched at the loud noise.
"Sioku," he frantically called out.
My heart broke because I couldn't be there to reassure him.
"Please watch All for One Tomura," I said while trying to catch my breath.
"Sioku will be okay Sensei. She just needs to recharge her energy," Tomura whispered.
Once again, I was attracted to that whisper-like voice.
Tomura's words calmed hhim down quite a bit.
Kurogiri worriedly approached me. "Are you all right?"
"Yes sir, but I still need to strengthen my quirk," I answered breathlessly.
He walked over to the sink and then filled a cup with cold water.
Afterward, he carefully handed the cup to me.
"Thanks Kurogiri," I said before drinking the water.
"Any time Sioku," he replied.
After setting the cup on a table, I turned back to All for One.
Then I pulled him into an affectionate embrace.
"Come here All for One. I'm here now," I whispered.
I felt a rush of energy between us.
My heart raced as I held him close to me.
All of my fears had been forgotten in this moment.
This is what I've been dreaming of since middle school.
All for One's presence had a calming effect on me.
My mind drifted off as I closed my eyes.
I felt my energy returning faster than usual.
We stayed like that for a half hour.
I carefully let go of All for One before sitting up.
Being close to him for that amount of time was magical.
My heart fluttered as I thought about it.
Also, it was a relief to be back to normal.
"You look well Sioku," said Tomura.
"Master is looking more like himself now thanks to you," added Kurogiri.
I felt praised by their kind words.
They were definitely fascinated by my quirk.
I continued staring at All for One with a joyful grin on my face.
He just looked so wonderful in person.
Suddenly, my phone rang in my pocket.
I read the name and picked it up. "Hello?"
"Hey Sioku," answered Ariel.
I stared at Deku who was asleep beside Kurogiri. "Hi Ariel, how are you? What are you doing?"
"I'm good, we're getting ready to meet up at an indoor pool. Kirishima agreed to come with us," she answered happily.
I gasped in surprise, realizing that I lost track of time.
At the same time, I was thankful for the great news.
"I'm sorry Ariel," I cried.
"It's okay Sioku, you don't have anything to worry about. I'll meet you at your place," she replied.
"I'll see you there," I said before ending the call.
Leaving All for One again was going to sting my heart a bit, but I had to deal with it.
I quickly threw my bag on and grabbed Deku's leash. "Deku, let's go."
Deku rose from the floor and then sprinted toward me.
I chuckled at the sound of his claws tapping on the floor.
After clipping the leash to Deku's collar, I gave everybody a hug.
"Come back soon Sioku," said Tomura.
"Oh I plan to," I replied before laughing.
"Safe travels," added Kurogiri.
I waved as I exited the room.
Walking down the hallway, I continued thinking about All for One and the others.
That magical moment will live in my memories forever.
My heart felt light as a feather.
I was definitely on cloud nine.
Deku dragged me outside as soon as I opened the door.
I firmly tugged his leash. "Deku!"
He looked at me and slowed down.
"Good dog," I praised before patting his head.
Back at the station, I ordered some food and then boarded the train.
I ate my lunch while listening to the constant chattering from the other passengers around me.
The time was 1:00 when I returned home.
I happily ran inside with Deku behind me.
"Hi Kara," I hollered.
"Hey Sioku, I'm about to go to the store. I should be home by 5:00," she replied.
I set my bag down on the couch. "Okay, my friends just invited me to the pool. Do you mind if I go?"
"No, just come home around 5:00," she answered.
"You got it," I added.
Kara grabbed her bag before walking away.
I unclipped Deku's leash and then let him outback.
Tsu playfully tackled him to the ground.
I giggled while watching the scene.
Then I put on my bathing suit and a dress in the bathroom.
Afterward, I grabbed my bag and then headed out the door.
Ariel met me at the end of my driveway.
She threw her arms around me. "Hey Sioku, how did your visit go?"
"Great," I replied with a wide grin.
We walked a few blocks down the street to the recreation center.
There were crowds of people everywhere.
Ariel told me that Shinso and Kirishima were already in a room near the pool.
As soon as we entered, I ran toward Kirishima.
He lifted me into the air. "It's great to see you again Sioku. You sure have manly spirit!"
I laughed out loud while hugging him tight.
He then gently lowered me to the floor.
"I missed you so much Kirishima. Thank you for protecting me at USJ," I said.
"I'll always be here for you," he replied.
Ariel and Shinso were having a conversation by the water cooler.
A few minutes later, we walked over to the pool.
Kirishima and Ariel had a contest to see who could do a better cannonball in the deep end.
Shinso and I were the judges.
I laughed hysterically when Kirishima purposely did a belly flop.
Afterward, I swam a few laps around the pool.
Thinking about All for One gave me a major boost in strength.
My legs were getting tired after a while, so I returned to the steps.
Then I swam back and forth from one end of the pool to the other.
I got a nice workout from it.
We met back in the room after drying off.
I checked my phone, and the time was 4:15.
"Kara told me to be home before 5:00," I said to Ariel.
"I'll come with you," she replied.
I hugged Shinso and Kirishima before they exited the building.
Ariel and I exited the building and then headed down the street.
She curiously looked up at me. "How is your new friend doing?"
"he's doing very well. Kurogiri told me that he is still sensitive to sound," I answered.
Ariel's eyes lowered as she sighed sadly. "Well, hopefully you'll be able to heal him soon."
I saw groups of people gathered at different places as we walked by.
We continued walking back toward my house instead of paying attention to them.
Ariel and I parted ways as soon as we arrived.
Kara wasn't home yet, so I had nothing to worry about.
The house was almost completely silent.
All I heard was the buzzing sound of the fridge.
First, I let the dogs inside.
they wagged their tails and sniffed me.
Then I changed back into regular clothes in the bathroom
I heard Kara walking in as I came out of the restroom.
"There are groceries in the back of my car Sioku," she said.
"I'm on it Sis," I replied while running toward the door.
Deku tried to follow me, but I told him to stay.
I happily carried all of our groceries into the kitchen and then put them away.
"You're such a big help Sioku," Kara said with a smile.
I let out a nervous laugh. "Thanks, that's what I'm here for. Where is Melody?"
"She went to her friend's house," Kara answered.
"Okay," I said before walking away.
Deku followed me as I walked up the stairs and into my room.
I sat quietly on my bed after closing the door.
Deku jumped up on the bed beside me.
I wrapped my arms around him while thinking about All for One.
