Chapter One
Toshi groaned as he woke up, sometimes he felt every one of his forty-five years, this apparently would be one of those mornings. He got up and got dressed in his suit, he had started having them fitted as it was six months since he'd been able to use his powers at all. He strode from his apartment and got on the bus, a child stared at him wide eyed, the little girl was little more than four and looked at him with hero worship in her eyes.
"Al Might." She said and he smiled at her broadly.
"I am here little hero, now what can I do for you?" He asked her. "Would you like an autograph?"
"I wanna hug All Might, can I mommy?"
"She's just got her quirk and she's a healer type, but we don't know how strong it is yet. Yuri you might not be able to make him better."
"Wanna try it's All Might, Japan needs him and I can help maybe, good girls help." She said and then little arms were around him and he was surrounded with a glowing green light that spread from the child to him and back. He sighed as he felt no pain for the first time in nearly six years and lifted his shirt, staring at the unblemished skin.
"You and your Mommy are coming with me little one." He said and smiled at the girl. "You can heal my friends, more heroes, perhaps even a young man I know, you are very gifted."
"Tired." She said and he cradled her in his arms as she passed out. Everyone stared at him as he held the child on the bus, her mother sitting next to her.
"It's not safe for you not to be in protective custody, her gift is strong which means villains might seek her out." He said and the woman nodded.
"Thank you, but I have another child and my husband as well."
"Then we will get them, how old is the other child?"
"He's seven he can only heal animals though. Both my husband and I are healers, I can mend sprains and cuts, my husband can close gashes and mend bones, but it tires him afterwards, nothing like what our daughter can do."
"Sometimes the parent's gifts are weaker than the child's, there is still much we don't know about quirks." Al Might said and smiled down at the child.
"Why don't you transform?" The woman asked and he shrugged.
"I'd given up hope that I'd be able to transform again, so I had a tailor-made suit made for me, I'd rip it if I transformed now." He said and she nodded, at any rate his first transformation would be in private. He got off of the bus with the woman, carrying her daughter and walked to the police station with them both.
"I need to arrange protective custody for this woman and her daughter, thank you very much." He said and left. He ran back to his apartment, putting the smallest bit of power into his legs and changed into his costume quickly, before transforming. He felt good and like he could hold it for a long time. He bounded from the house with a glad cry, jumping from roof top to roof top. He made it to UA five minutes late to his first Heroics class. The third-year students stared at him.
"Hello class, how are you today, papers towards the front."
"How are you in your hero form?" Amajiki demanded and he laughed nervously brushing back his hair.
"Well young Amajiki that's the wonderful thing about quirks, some are capable of healing." He said and pulled up his shirt, the class gasped and he smiled broadly. "Now what are the possibilities for such a quirk?" He asked the class, before turning to the chalk board. "In your final year here, you must be able to quickly identify and analyze the quirks of the villains you are fighting, some are better at this than others, so it is suggested that you have at least one person on your team that is able to determine the abilities and disadvantages of the person you are facing." He continued the lecture though the students clearly weren't paying full attention to him, he heard the whispered murmurs behind his back, until the class was dismissed. Hopefully some were listening at least, one could not control the boundless enthusiasm of youths.
He walked to the teacher's lounge and flopped down onto the couch, papers in hand he started grading, he had twenty minutes before his next class, then his stomach rumbled and he realized he was hungry. More than hungry, he hadn't been this hungry in years, he went to the cafeteria and grabbed twenty bentos, before walking to his class stuffing the sushi into his mouth as he walked. It was delicious but he needed to keep his calories up, particularly like this.
The students all stared at him, but luckily they didn't interrupt his snack, he made it to class and sat down at the desk, he'd have to talk to Nezdu about procuring a better chair for himself. He continued eating as the class filed in except for Izuku who ran into the classroom gasping for breath, a moment later his favorite student's arms were around him tightly and the boy was sobbing.
"Izuku my boy, don't cry, it's alright FOR I AM HERE." He bellowed and that seemed to snap Izuku out of it and he grinned at his charge. He would never admit it but this boy was as close as he'd ever come to a son.
"All Might you're alright." Izuku said and All Might smiled at him.
"What about you?" He asked quietly.
"I still have it." Izuku replied. "I was in practical heroics before this."
"Good, here have a bento, you must be hungry." He said and handed him a bento before settling down in the desk. "I'll answer ten questions, but for the rest of class you will pay attention to my lecture do we have a deal young heroes?" He asked the class and they all agreed, five hands immediately shot up.
"Sir how is it that you are like this?" Iida demanded and All Might laughed.
"You mean how is it that I came to have my physic again? A little girl with great healing abilities, she's in witness protection now with the rest of her family and will be closely guarded until she is of age."
"She healed you what else can she do?"
"No one knows, she's only four and what she did shocked her mother." All Might said. "I know little of the child I have to thank for bringing back my full strength, is there any questions that do not relate to that, I said I'd answer ten questions."
"Are you completely healed ribbit?" Asui asked and he smiled of course the kind girl would ask that.
"As far as I can tell, I am." He said. "I don't know how long it will last, so I am enjoying it while it does."
"Why do you like have to eat so much, that's super manly." Kirishima asked and he laughed.
"I'm a strength type my boy, food fuels us and makes our abilities stronger, much like Sato, I need a large number of calories while in this form." He said and shoveled down another pack of sushi. "Moreover, I enjoy it, I've been on a restrictive diet for five years, I can finally eat what I want again and can eat as much as I like of it."
"Who was a hero you looked up to growing up and why?" Aoyama asked and he grinned.
"Why Lighting Flash, she was my own sensei right here when I was your age young Aoyama, that and Forester because well I like men." He stated and they all stared at him. "Does that surprise you, that I'm bi?"
"No, I knew, but you never talked about it." Izuku said and All Might shrugged.
"Not much to talk about really, Mostly I don't take lovers but I do sometimes, I like my private life to be private but I'm far from ashamed of my sexuality it's just not what I want people to focus on. I walk in pride parades and carry the lbgtq flag but it's not all I am."
"Your bi." Mineta of course his least favorite student would be homophobic.
"Yes, and so are half your teachers and classmates unless I miss my guess, I'm not outing anyone however so don't ask."
"I am gay." Aoyoma said
"Well everyone knew that dummy." Bakugo said from his desk, putting his feet up and acting entirely too casual. "I'm bi." He added. "If any of you has a problem with that, I'll introduce you to my quirk up close and personal like."
"You shouldn't threaten classmates young Bakugo, it does not sound heroic as for you Mineta, I don't see how you can be a hero if you don't drop some of your attitude. You are lascivious and lecherous towards your female classmates and you make them uncomfortable. If it wasn't for your scores and your potential you would not be enrolled at this academy. Suffice it to say that you are on thin ice, with even Midnight so I would think very carefully about your actions." All Might said and the boy stared at him wide eyed.
"Kick his annoying ass out already, someone more deserving can have the spot." Jiro said. "If he stares at me one more time, I'll blow out his hearing, I'm a lesbian, I play for the other team." She stated and popped a piece of gum into her mouth chewing furiously. The class all started murmuring and Izuku was writing furiously in his notebook.
"It's clear we won't get much father with the lesson I had planned for today does anyone have any confessions to make?" He asked. "Now would be a good time for it."
"I'm bi too bro." Kirishima said. "There's a reason why I liked you, your super-hot and manly."
"Whatever rocks for brains, I'm focused on my training, your ass isn't fine enough to distract me." Bakugo said and everyone laughed.
"I'm bi too." Izuku said cheerfully.
"Of course, you are, you're a chipper ray of sunshine and entirely too into us and our quirks." Tokoyami said. "I'm a beast kin, from what I've read and my nature, male female it does not matter, but I need someone that will embrace their wild side and when it comes time for me to mate I will most likely seek one like such as myself. They would of course have to love dark shadow as well, I am uncertain if there is anyone who would love the darkness within me."
"I would." Koda said and Tokoyaki stared at him in surprise.
"For once dark shadow does not object, you may try to be my mate, but perhaps we shall date first?" He asked and Koda smiled broadly.
"I'd like that."
"Oh, young love it does make my heart glad." All Might state and everyone stared at him. "What you are of an age to start getting interested in such things and it's only natural that your first partners will be your classmates."
"Does it always happen like that?" Izuku asked.
"Nearly, look at the Pussycats, they are a quartet and only interested in one another. Another example would be your own teachers, who have dated one another in the past as students, Eraserhead, Midnight and Preset Mic, though what they do now is up to them and they are intensely private people."
"Midnight is private? Midnight?" Sero said and All Might laughed.
"There's a difference between the persona and the person, she's not monogamist and is a free spirit, I will not say more than that their secrets are their own."
"What's your favorite food?"
"Burgers and fries with a large strawberry milkshake, I used to eat ten of them for lunch." He said and scarfed down another two rolls of sushi, as his class talked excitedly of course youngsters being who they are, would carry on like this. He finished the two bentos and sat back steepling his hands in front of him.
"All Might has stopped eating you guys, pay attention to him." Izuku said and All Might laughed.
"At the rate you are going you will be the top of my class instead of young Iida." He said and everyone stared at Midoria.
"You are that good at heroics?" Iida asked and Izuku blushed and muttered into his paper.
"He could take the third-year class, actually I might have him sit in on one of my lectures, Young Midoriya does naturally what many struggle to do. He can analyze most abilities and capabilities of heroes and he has a good memory, he will be an asset to any hero team after graduation. You would be wise to work on your own ability to analyze your surroundings, by necessity you are level above most students, do to all you have had to overcome."
"An entire level can we move forward a grade then?"
"It will be on a case by case bases and only if you can pass your exams, most first years don't have their provisional licenses yet and yet most of you do, which means you can intern during summer and winter break." He said and they stared at him and he started eating again, he just finished the bag by the time the bell rang. "Looks like it's time for your next class, I will see you tomorrow and I want two thousand words on the strengths and weaknesses of your favorite hero. class dismissed." He said and sighed as they slowly filed out he grabbed the empty bag and walked back to the cafeteria putting it into the recycling.
"Are you still hungry?" Lunch Rush asked.
"Focus on the students I'll just grab some more bentos for my next class."
"It's no trouble." Lunch Rush said and to All Might's surprise he was given two large trays loaded with burgers and fries, as well as three strawberry milkshakes."
"Thank you." he said and sat down at a table, luckily it was his free period, he barely managed not to cry as he took his first bite, he'd thought that he'd never get to eat this again. He devoured the food, and went back for two more helpings.
"I never knew how you could eat that much." Eraserhead said and All Might laughed. "Seriously Toshi, why not just eat the cow." He added and Toshinori laughed again.
"It's really good, I missed this, here have some." He said and handed Eraserhead a burger, he bit into it and chewed.
"It is good, I guess I should actually remember to eat." He said and made quick work of the burger, then another and a basket of Toshinori's fries, Toshi smiled at him pushing a milkshake towards him which he drank as well.
"You getting Shota to eat forget about your stomach being healed, that's the true miracle."
"Shut up Hizashi, your making me tired." Eraserhead said and they both laughed, he liked his coworkers far more than he liked most people.
"I'll go get some more, is there something you want Hizashi?"
"I'll have what you're having." Hizashi said and slung an arm around Aizawa, Toshi was a bit surprised that they both had the hour free, but he was glad that they did. He brought the tray back to them and smiled broadly, before setting one of the three trays before Hizashi.
"I didn't mean this much food." Hizashi said and started to eat. "It's good though." He added and Toshi nodded and went back to eating, he finally felt full as the bell rang for lunch and the cafeteria filled with the chatter of students. Aizawa groaned and laid his head down on the table, he was snoring a moment later and both Toshi and Hizashi laughed.
"Late nights again?"
"Yes, he only got a couple of hours before school started." Hizashi said and Toshi nodded he lifted Aizawa easily enough carrying him in his arms, the man drooling on his shoulder. "I'll set him down in the teacher's quarters."
"I'll get this to go, one hero sized doggy bag coming up." Hizashi said and Toshi shot him a grateful look before he walked to the teachers' lounge here at least it was fairly quiet, he set Aizawa down on the couch and took a large overstuffed chair for himself, he supposed there was no harm in closing his eyes for a moment.
Hizashi came in ten minutes later to the sound of ear-splitting snoring and laughed, he set the food in the fridge and the milkshakes in the freezer, he supposed that Lunch Rush might get a bit upset but he didn't care. He checked the schedule and saw that Aizawa was supposed to teach after lunch but Hizashi and Toshi both had the next period off. He stuck a sticky note to both their chests before he smiled and made his way to Classroom 3 with Aizawa's lesson plans.
Toshi woke when his stomach rumbled and saw a sticky note stuck to his chest.
Toshinori, when I got here, you and Aizawa were asleep, food is in the fridge and your shakes are in the freezer, I'm teaching Class 3 and will be done at three, Hizashi.
Toshi smiled and took out his food, microwaving it before he ate it and the milkshakes, they were frozen solid but still good, he finished everything but was still hungry and so he went back to the cafeteria. He grabbed seven bentos and smiled at Lunch Rush before sitting at the counter and starting to eat. Lunch Rush stared at him, as he finished off the food. "Will you eat this much every day?" He asked and Toshi shook his head.
"I keep expecting the healing to wear off, I haven't been able to eat like this in years, most days I think I'll stick to my normal form and that way I'll eat less."
"I understand why you would want to, I can't imagine not being able to eat what I want, how about I make you some pasta, with seafood?"
"You spoil me." Toshinori said finishing off the bentos as Lunch Rush put down a large plate of seafood alfredo pasta. He ate this slowly savoring the food, enjoying the taste of it. "How did you know I like this?"
"I cater all of UA's events I make it my buisness to know every heroes likes and dislikes." Lunch Rush said and smiled at him, as he ate. It was amazing the best meal he'd had in nearly seven years, he hadn't taken the time to go out, or enjoy himself. He had denied himself simple pleasures in the search to get ever stronger, ever better ever more powerful. He had stretched his body to the limit and beyond, it was only a matter of time before he broke and looking back he was surprised that it hadn't happened sooner. He felt his eyes well up with tears, his facade crumble just for a moment, before he was sobbing into the pasta and eating it. "It's alright, surely it can't be that bad."
"It's not bad, its good, really good." He said and continued to eat. "The best I've had in ages, I can barely remember a time I had something so good." He then started crying again the tears pouring down his face, he just couldn't help it why couldn't he stop crying.
A rough hand was placed on his shoulders and he looked at Kan in surprise. "You alright there All Might?" He asked and Toshi threw his arms around Kan and started crying in earnest, he hadn't cried not since his sensei had died, he had refused and now he couldn't stop. Why couldn't he stop, this was embarrassing so dam embarrassing.
"It's okay, everyone loses it sometimes, now let's go to the teachers' lounge." Kan said and he let himself be steered in the direction of the teacher's lounge, he collapsed in the chair and continued to sob.
"What's wrong with him?" Midnight asked.
"If I knew don't you think I'd do something about it, he just started crying and can't seem to stop, he was frightening some of the students, so I brought him here." Kan said gruffly.
"No you wanted to ha ha ha help." All Might said and turned to Midnight. "I ca ca can't stop..."
"It's okay you need the release, how long has it been since you cried."
"Twenty-nine ya ya years." He said and curled in on himself and they stared at him in shock. "I want Iz Iz Izuku."
"Of course, I'll get him." Midnight said and took off, she was uncomfortable with displays of emotion, though she hid it well.
"Bloody hell, I thought I had problems." Kan said and pulled out a cigarette lighting it. "Want one?" he asked and Toshi shook his head, as he continued to sob, then he saw the smiling face of his student.
"It's alright All Might, I'm here." Izuku said and his arms were around Toshi, Toshi sobbed and cradled him in his arms, the boy was so much larger than he had been when Toshi had first seen him, so much stronger, so much more. He was going to be an amazing hero one day and he would take over for him once his time was done. Toshinori smiled at the thought of the boy being just like him someday, he didn't want to admit how close he was to the child not even to himself.
He didn't know how long he cried for until finally his sobs subsided leaving him feeling tired but whole in a way that he hadn't felt in a very long time, perhaps since his school days when the world had seemed bright with endless possibilities. The boy had fallen asleep sometime during his outburst, curled in his arms and Toshi didn't want to move.
"You alright?" Preset Mic demanded and he nodded.
"Better than alright, I'm thinking of seeing a therapist for Pros and I think we should have one on staff. We have Recovery Girl for physical wounds but what about mental ones?"
"Good point, half of our students could use counseling particularly the problem children." Shota said and Toshinori nodded.
"I'll go put him in his room." Toshinori said and picked up Midoriya he carried him to the dorms, the students stared at him as he settled Midoriya into his bed before closing the door behind him.
He smiled broadly at the class of students, before picking out the two fire types. "Young Bakugo and Todoroki, I challenge you to a spicy food battle."
"A what now?" Bakugo asked.
"First to finish wins." He said and went into the kitchen, he found the spices and ingredients for super spicy ramen, he cracked two hard boiled eggs on top and set down all three bowls.
"Count me in my man." Kirishima said and All Might laughed adding another bowl, before he took his and scarfed it down with the boys, his eyes watered from the spice and he heard their surprised yells barely managing not to laugh. He deliberately slowed down near the end of the bowl and heard Todoroki's triumphant shout, he laughed remembering his own school days.
"That was great, another round?" Todoroki asked hopefully and without thinking Toshi tousled Shouto's hair he stared at him in shock. "Why you do that?"
"I like you, you're a good boy and a good student, its simple and at this height I can reach easily." He said and did so again.
"Stop it." Shouto protested and he laughed.
"You know you should be careful, glare like that and you'll start looking like your father." Toshi said and Shouto's glare darkened.
"I'm nothing like that man." Shouto said and Toshinori shrugged.
"Honestly you are a little like him, people are like their parents and their mentors, its unavoidable."
"He's a bully and a coward I can't be like him." Shouto said and Toshi stared at him in shock.
"A bully, he was a bit brash, but I wouldn't call him a bully." Toshi said.
"You don't know him then, not like I do, ever wonder why I'm scared? Not the face but the rest of my body, that was my father's lessons, he killed my brother and nearly destroyed my family. None of my siblings will come to the main house unless they have to." Shouto said and Toshi stared at him shocked.
"I had no idea Shouto, I thought he was strict, but I didn't think he was like that."
"Well he is, I dread school breaks because I know I have to go back to him, I know what is expected of me."
"Well other arrangements can be made."
"What other arrangements he's a pro hero not only a pro hero but #!."
"I think you'll find he won't be #1 for much longer, I'll take you on if it comes to that." Toshi said and smiled. "I could use the help of a talented youngster like you."
"Really?"
"Of course, and me and my father go way back, he doesn't like me much but he doesn't like anyone very much and he wants to be the best. We've always been rivals, me and him going back to our school days, did you know we were in the same class?"
"You were...In the same class?" Iida managed to get out and Toshi nodded.
"Yes, I was also friends with your father, though he was five years ahead of me, I was in the same class as his little brother."
"Uncle Tori?" He asked and Toshi nodded.
"I see myself and my old classmates in you, it's why I will start to push you hard in the coming months and years. I believe that by graduation you will take the world by storm, all of you but a few stand out as is the case with every class. For the past ten years I've had a bet with Sir Nighteye about which heroes show the most promise and I haven't lost once."
"Against Sir Nighteye, but he can see the future." Tenya said and All Might laughed.
"Just because he can see the future, does not mean he can see everything." Toshi said and made another three bowls.
"I want to try it." Denki said and Toshi made another bowl for him as well.
"Men honestly bonding over scalding liquids nothing changes I see." Midnight said and Toshi grinned.
"You know it dear, would you care for a bowl?"
"Set me up my man." Preset Mic said. "If those are your death bowls."
"You know it."
"Death bowls?" Mineta asked.
"It's so hot you'll see your life flash before your eyes, or so Vlad King said, he was not a fan." Preset Mic said and several people laughed, as Toshi made more of the spicy noodles. He scarfed down his serving and watched the children race each other to finish theirs. He laughed at Bakugo's cry of delight as he won the next round, shooting off his fists in a sparkling display.
"Take that you losers." He said and Toshi sighed.
"It is better to be gracious in victory and defeat, than to crow your success." Tokoyami said and All Might smiled before gently ruffling the boy's feathers, he smiled as Tokoyami preened under the touch.
"You are right in that assessment Tokoyami." He said and smiled at the boy, as dark shadow curled around him.
"We like you, you are a good teacher, will you pet me too?" Dark Shadow asked and Toshi nodded, it felt strange petting a sentient shadow, but not unpleasant soon he was nearly wrapped in darkness and Dark Shadow was purring.
"What are you doing to my quirk?" Tokoyami asked. "It's never acted this way."
"Dark Shadow asked me to pet him, so I'm petting him, he can't hurt me so I don't see the harm and I doubt that he would at any rate. Has he ever truly attacked the people you care about?"
"He went after everyone during the camp training." Tokoyami said and Toshi sighed.
"Not much is known about sentient quirks your ability is one of the rarest in existence, he's been with you since birth hasn't he?"
"Yes, how did you know, he was small like a shadow at first, but grew stronger each year." Tokoyami said and Toshinori nodded.
"Was your mother pregnant with twins?" He asked and Tokoyami blanched.
"He's my brother?"
"Your identical brother, though you share a single body, he has his own mind, his own thoughts and feelings, don't you?"
"I do, though it unsettles Fumi to think the truth, I love Fumi." Dark Shadow said.
"Who are you then I can't go on calling you dark shadow if you have a mind of your own, that's just wrong my dude." Kirishima asked.
"I am or would have been Fuzenkage, at least that is what my mother calls me during darkest night, her lost son." He said and the shadows bowed. "I am honored that you would ask for my name, you are a good nest mate."
"Nest mate?" Kirishima asked.
"I consider you all to be my nest mates and my brother feels the same." Fuzenkage said and smiled at all of them. "Do you feel as though we are your nest mates too."
"Yeah bro, I wouldn't call you bro if I didn't think you were like my bro bro." Kirishima said and bumped a shadowy fist. "Though you are a bit creepy."
"Thank you, I intentionally have a threatening appearance so I can better protect Fumi, he needs my protection."
"Do not, you are seriously my brother?" Fumi asked and Fuzen nodded.
"Yes, I am, I am your brother that shares your body, you need not fear me, I am getting better at being in the shadows, but I like the night light it keeps them at bay while we dream our dark dreams." He said and Koda stared at them, before signing.
"He wants to know if you want to date him Fuzen, not just Fumi but you as well." Toshi translated.
"You will teach us how to talk with our hands please." Fuzen said eagerly and Toshi smiled.
"I would be glad to." He said and that's how he wound up spending three hours giving an impromptu lesson on sign language, fixing the hands of his students as they clumsily signed, as ever some were better than others, Asui was particularly adept her long fingers and quick vision being able to sign easily.
"This would come in handy under water kero." Asui said and smiled at Koda. "Will you teach me more, I want to learn fast so we can talk."
Koda nodded and smiled softly. "Well I can't stay up any longer, see you tomorrow." Bakugo said and left the room.
"I suppose he needs his beauty sleep." Todoroki teased loudly.
"You're lucky I don't have the energy to blast you now." Bakugo shot back over one shoulder.
"I suppose I should turn in as well, early to bed early to rise and hero training is hard on the best of us. Can't have you youngsters staying up all night with an old man and sleeping through your classes tomorrow."
"You aren't that old." Preset Mic protested and Toshi laughed before bounding up the stairs, he bounded through the night enjoying the wind on his face, until he heard the screams.
"HAVE NO FEAR FOR I AM HERE!" He said smashing down onto the villain who had cornered several women, he eyed the clothing of the women before turning to them and smiling. "Do you need help ladies, All Might help everyone including ladies of the night."
"Yes! He's attacking us." Someone said and All Might nodded, he grabbed the four of them and bounded into the sky.
"What are you doing?" One demanded, as he set them down at the police station.
"Prostitution is illegal in Japan, I have no desire to get in between a pimp and his prostitutes." All Might said and bounded away as they were led away by the officers, he nearly got home before a man was foolish enough to try to rob a woman, he was less gentle with the man than he had been with the ladies. Depositing him roughly at the station before starting home again.
This time it was a crying child who he had to put on his shoulders as he walked through a subdivision that the houses all looked the same on. He knocked on all the doors, but the subdivision went on for seven blocks and the child had walked far. Finally, he found a house that recognized the boy and could give him directions to the child's house. He pounded on the door and a man flung it open and stared at his son.
"All Might?" He said half asleep. "What are you doing with All Might Ginshitoshi?"
"Papa!" The child wailed and the man took him into his arms.
"I suggest you lock the doors at night, the boy was lost at night alone." All Might said. "A brave boy to be sure, but you should know better than to do that child."
"I was looking for Hana she's gone, I want Hana."
"I'll find Hana, who is she?" All Might said.
"That is not necessary, she is our pet dog, we will find her tomorrow." The man said and Toshinori nodded, he jumped into the sky and saw a little black puppy. He smiled and picked up the creature, going back to the house and knocking on the door again. The man answered and stared at him in surprise.
"I would not wish for a child to be upset, I have found the lost pet." Toshi said and handed the dog to the man. "But if I hear tell of the boy, going missing in the night again, a report will be made." He said and jumped back into the sky. This time he was able to make it home and fall into bed, setting his alarm for seven the next day before he transformed and fell asleep.
