"What's going on?" I asked, running next to Heartache to meet up with Midnight as she sent us an SOS.
"Something is going on in Hosu, we're going to provide support. Kuro will have to stay," Midnight explained.
"What is it that you need to go?" I asked.
"It might have to deal with Stain or the LOV," Midnight said. "Don't worry about that, alright Legacy?"
"Yes ma'am," I said, sharing a look with Heartache and Hina.
The group of us ran until I felt a pull. I turned my vampire form on and could smell blood. I immediately stopped running.
"Legacy, what's wrong?" Midnight asked.
"Blood, and it's fresh. It might be someone hurt," I said, looking at her.
"You two go check on them. You can use your quirks if needed. Don't do anything dangerous," Midnight said, running towards the flames.
I quickly made my way to an alley where I saw the Hero Native on the ground as a kid who looked like Ingenium was standing with his helmet off facing a person I heard about on the news. The Hero Killer Stain. I quickly pulled out the katana and dashed covering my legs with venom as I charged my arms with Iron Sage. I blocked his blade with my own.
"Oh, who are you?"
"I'm Legacy," I said, kicking his gut. "Why aren't you moving?" I asked, looking back to see Ilda.
"I-I can't. It must be his quirk."
"Why are you here?" Heartache asked.
"I need to get revenge for my brother!"
"Really? Revenge? You're meant to be a hero," I said.
"See, I need to cull him so future generations of heroes aren't fakes!" Stain yelled, charging me.
Hina activated the black flame and I swung at him. He dodged and moved past me going to swing at Ilda. I watched as Heartache jumped in front of him and used her body as a shield as the blade passed through her stomach.
"NO!" I screamed. My vision started to go red in anger and fear. I can't fight and dodge blades.
Then don't dodge.
"You guys have really odd timing," I said, facing a man of African descent. He was tall, bald, and wearing a plain black tank-top.
"Sorry kid, I'll get this done fast. I'm Arron Shields and my quirk is tattoo armor. You can make tattoos appear on your body and your skin in that area becomes more difficult to pierce," he explained. "You can design them mentally how you want them to look and it's not just the skin where the tattoo is. If it's on your arm your whole arm is good."
"Thank you," I said, opening my eyes to see Stain standing as Kyo-Heartache fell. "Hina, Bankai," I said, causing the blade to erupt into flames. Next to me stood Hina in a loose white kimono with red highlights.
"Woah, finally found a way for me to have a body," Hina said, unsheathing her sword.
"Oh, and I'm assuming you're also a hero in training," Stain said, turning to look at us.
"Iron Smash!" I yelled, jumping at him.
"Crimson Blade!" Hina said, cutting him while cauterizing the wound at the same time.
"Don't get in my way!" he said, slashing at me. I lifted my arm and felt as the steel just stopped.
"Huh, guess that won't work," I said, kicking him back. "You say you take out fake heroes! What about those who become heroes to prove society and their views on quirks wrong? They might not physically go save people but they save them by proving that you aren't a villain based on their quirk. That's what I will do. My quirk requires me to drink blood and I'm still going to be a hero and give all of those who have to drink blood the chance of a normal life of not being bullied!" I said, remembering a boy who was in my class who was bullied almost as bad as I was.
"You have convictions girl, good. You are a true hero, like All Might," Stain said. "You can live, but don't get in my way."
"It's a hero's job to interfere where they aren't supposed to be," I said, punching him while Hina froze his feet. "Lunar Steel Smash!" I yelled, jumping and bringing an ax kick on his head. I then webbed his hands and feet to the ground before running over to Kyoka who was lying in a pool of red.
"Legacy! Hina? What happened?" Midnight asked, running up.
"Stain, we took him down but Kyo-Heartache needs medical attention now," I said.
"Legacy, she's- I'm sorry but not even Recovery Girl can help by the time she can get here. She's lost too much blood," Midnight said.
Blood, my blood heals me so why not her?
"What is going on here?" a deep voice asked. "Is that Stain? What is that girl doing?"
"Saving my friend," I said, biting into my wrist and pulling the skin out. I then put the blood to Kyoka's mouth.
"What are you doing? Are you mad?" the voice asked, coming at me.
"My blood has healing properties," I yelled, looking up to see the number two hero Endeavor. Come on, work work work! I thought. I then felt a small bit of energy flow from me into her as her chest gained a small red glow. Her eyes shot open as she started sucking my blood out like her life depended on it before going unconscious.
"How?" Midnight asked, looking at her cut as it was mostly healed.
"Someone tell me what happened," Endeavor demanded.
"Heartache and I went searching after I smelled blood and found this scene. Ilda was frozen from Stain's quirk as was Native. I started defending using my quirk and sister's sword. After Heartache was badly injured defending Ilda from an attack I started getting aggressive and I activated my sister's full quirk returning her to her body for a bit, we don't know how long. We then attacked him and I hit him in the head knocking him out," I explained.
"I can confirm," Ilda said.
"So can I, both of us owe our lives to these three students," Native agreed, looking at us.
"I'll grab Heartache you get Stain," Midnight said, walking over to me.
"You don't tell me what to do," Endeavor growled, grabbing the hero killer.
"It's alright, I got her," Midnight said, looking at me while reaching out for Kyoka. "She'll be fine."
"Yeah," I said, letting go of her.
"Hey, let's get going," Hina said, putting her hand out to me.
"Thanks," I said, letting her pick me up. "So, you have your body back for a bit," I said.
"Yeah, 'Bankai'?" she asked, grinning.
"Hey, it sounded like the right thing to say. Also, I thought that it might be something that is both fictional and real," I said.
"Well, now we know. I'm going to guess that once this wears off you're going to be exhausted," Hina said.
"Yeah, I'll take the sword when I'm ready," I agreed.
We made our way out of the alley and I saw Todoroki standing off to the side. While we waited for the police and ambulance to arrive I sat next to Kyoka who laid on the ground. We waited for a minute before a deafening screech came from the sky. I looked up to see a Nomu with thin wings similar to Gremory's. I watched as it dived down at me. I quickly jumped out of the way and looked back to see it holding a body.
"Heartache!" Midnight yelled.
"Hina," I whispered, putting my left hand out.
"Don't be reckless," she said, putting the sword in my hand.
I went into slime form and then became a bat and charged after the devilish Nomu. I changed back once I was above it and sung down with the purple flamed blade beheading it. I grabbed Kyoka and landed holding her.
"I-Izumi?" Kyoka asked, meeting my eyes as I looked down at her.
"H-hey," I said, as my vision went black and I felt my body hit the ground.
Beep, beep beep, beep beep, beep beep.
"Is it good or bad that I'm used to waking up in a hospital?" I asked, opening my eyes.
"I would say bad but from what I've heard it's to be expected," a female voice said.
"Gremory?" I asked, sitting up. I looked to see the crimson haired devil looking at me.
"She came because she said she felt a surge of devil magic, she also said that the Nomu whose head you cut off survived because the base of it was a devil," Midnight said.
"You collapsed from exhaustion," Hina said. "And I'm back to half visible."
"Alright, so why did you want to talk to me?" I asked Gremory.
"I need you to try something. Imagine a case with a single set of chess pieces with your eyes closed," she said. "Now grab that case and put it on your lap."
"Woah," I said, feeling the case on my lap. I then opened my eyes to see a case.
"Well, I think that settles that," Nari said, standing off to the side.
"Yay! You're like me," Kuro said, jumping up to me.
"You are now a high devil with a peerage like me. Open the case," Gremory said.
"There are two missing pieces," I said.
"One is the king, you," Gremory said, looking down at the pieces. "The other would be the girl you resurrected as a devil."
"What?" I asked.
"Whether you meant to or not you resurrected your classmate and turned her into a devil. While she might only notice a couple of things we need to have a discussion with her and explain everything to her. I'll talk to the principal about making a fake club for your peerage to be in so you can gather and it won't seem odd. I also have a proposition for you later," Gremory said, stepping back.
"We were told once you were awake we could disconnect you from the machine," Nari said, walking up and taking the monitor off of me.
"Wait, what happened with Stain?" I asked.
"Well, originally the police were going to cover it up and say that Endeavor was the one who caught him, but before they could a news network put a video of you fighting him and then saving Jirou, both by giving her your blood and by cutting the Nomu's head off before it flew away," Midnight explained.
"You were referred to as the hero student Legacy. Your actual name wasn't released," Nari added.
"That's slightly reassuring," I sighed, swinging my legs over the side and jumping down. "Can I have the sword?" I asked.
"Here," Midnight said, handing it to me in the sword in the sword bag we had.
"We should do it alone," Gremory said, looking at me.
"Can I come too?" Kuro asked, jumping next to me.
"I don't see why not," Gremory said. She led me out of the room and down the hall to another room and motioned for me to knock on the door. I walked up and knocked on it once, gripping the bag.
"Come in," Kyoka said.
"H-hey," I said, walking in.
"Izumi! Who are you?" Kyoka asked, looking at Gremory.
"My name is Rias Gremory, I'm a third year at UA, as well as a Devil," Gremory said, unveiling her wings.
"Oh, so your quirk is devil wings," Kyoka said.
"No, she, we are devils," I said, calling my wings. I looked up to see her shocked face and then two wings emerged from her back.
"W-what?" she asked, freaking out.
"When a King calls forth their wings all members of their peerage do as well," Gremory said.
"W-what are you talking about? Izumi, what's happening?" Kyoka asked.
"Kyoka, calm down, we'll explain," I said. "I'm a half devil, but I pulled on my devil powers to make myself a high devil and kept you alive," I lied, knowing she couldn't fully use her quirk at the moment. "However, I unknowingly made you a devil like myself. You are my bishop?" I asked.
"Yes, you have what's called an evil piece similar to a chess piece. Your's gives you higher magic potential. I will teach you some basics later, but I must warn you, you will be hunted if you wander too close to churches or hide outs of fallen angels. While we are in the middle of peace talks, some don't want peace so you might have to be careful," Gremory warned.
"W-what?" Kyoka asked.
"Basically, magic, devils, angels, gods, demons, wizards, vampires, everything supernatural is real," I said.
"Y-you aren't lying. We're devils?" Kyoka asked.
"Yep, and I'm a demon," Kuro said.
"The cat just talked," Kyoka said.
"I'm a demon cat!" Kuro growled.
"Ignore him right now. Are you going to be alright?" I asked.
"Y-yeah, I think so," Kyoka said.
"Good, I'm sorry you didn't ask for this," I said.
"You did it to keep her alive," Hina said.
"I'm sorry," I said, hugging Kyoka.
"It's alright," she said, hugging me back.
"I'll leave," Gremory said.
"Kuro, take the sword to mom," I said, handing it to him who held it in his mouth as he ran out.
"Why did you do that?" Kyoka asked.
"Because, I need to tell you this. Kyoka, I like you a lot. Romantically," I said, taking a deep breath. "But, I also like other people romantically and don't know what to do," I admitted.
"Izumi, look at me," Kyoka said. I lifted my head for her to put her hand on my cheeks. "Go vampire form," she said. I did so wondering what she was doing. She then pulled me close and put her lips on mine, sealing them in a kiss.
AN-
So, this was a long time in the making. They finally kissed! Dear lord, the number of times I wanted to say screw it and make them kiss is astronomical! So, a lot of lore, and if you read my previous fic with Highschool DxD you might've guessed that Kyoka was going to be the Bishop and congrats for understanding why I wrote that fic. Next chapter will start with a quick rundown of the rest of the work study and then we get into the devil stuff and romance stuff. Also, I will be trying to update this fic, Iron Spider, and Psychic Mastery every Wednesday. Make sure to follow, favorite, comment, and kudos!
