My Hero Academia: Yashiro The First Quirk

Ch.17- Shrine Talks

Man, these shoes were not the comfiest things… I guess I deserve this for all the running around I did earlier. This place was just so cool I just had to see it all and ask questions. Iida was so eager to teach me too; he can be adorable sometimes.

As I walked to find a bench, I saw Izuku sitting down, was he muttering? I guess it was a nervous habit, to be honest, he seemed to struggle with anxiety a lot. Even more so since the festival has been coming, and Uncle Might has been borrowing him a lot too. I sighed and walked over to sit next to him, he jumped and looked to me.

"Needed a seat these were the worst shoes to wear." I joked pointing to the trouble sandals.

"You were running around quite a bit too." He added we laughed together.

"You look stressed, festival?" I hummed, he nodded looking down at his lap. "Uncle Might been putting too much pressure on you?"

"W-what would make you think that?" he stammered, I smirked patting his green curls.

"I am kinda observant, plus he fusses over you so much." I joked, he flushed. "Is he trying to get you to be his successor?"

"S-successor, how did you?" he began, I giggled.

"His power is waning, it's kinda obvious, plus if I didn't know better, I would say you two have the same quirk." I hummed; he began to fidget wait was… "He passed it onto you, didn't he?"

"Don't tell…" he muttered, I smirked and tussled his hair.

"Don't worry I won't, that explains your lack of control… I thought it weird how bad your quirk can hurt you… Knowing Uncle he isn't the best at teaching you about it is he? I mean have you ever thought of limiting it?" I rambled, he looked at me stars dancing in his eyes.

"That might be a good idea!" he beamed, I chuckled.

"Typical thing in a lot of the Shonen anime I watched as a kid, plus to be honest this situation was pretty much a troupe in stuff I watched. But I guess that kinda thing is lost in this world of superpowers." I mused, gently I tussled his hair. "Don't overthink it all, just try your best, you're smart, use your brain to make up for where your quirk is lacking."

"Thanks…" he said, I smiled to him.

"Izuku can I ask you something?" I asked, maybe he can help with Shoto…

"Sure." He replied.

"Can you keep an eye on Shoto-kun, a bit ago he came to me roughed up, I'm worried, something isn't sitting right with me," I explained.

"Roughed up?" he repeated confused.

"A bad burn, I took him home, but Endeavor, he gave me a bad vibe… Dad and Papa seemed wary of him too… I might be overthinking it, but I feel tomorrow will be very tough on him…" I rambled, I felt him touch my shoulder.

"I will, I've seen it too, he never uses half of his power…" he added, I smiled to him.

"You're such a sweetheart you know that." I hummed, he flushed, and I pet his head. "Remember you can always talk to me."

(Later)

I waved off everyone as they all got on their trains to head home, only Shoto was left. As I waved Iida off, I turned to Shoto who looked tense, so he was stressed. I reached over and grabbed his hand, he looked at me confused.

"Let's go get ice cream at the combini." I chimed, he nodded, and I began to lead him toward the combini. "What is your favourite kind?"

"Mochi ice cream…" he mumbled, I nodded.

"I wanna try this waffle looking one, never seen something like that before I came here," I replied, as we got the store, I took him to the freezer. He looked for his flavour as I took out the waffle ice cream. It was like a waffle stuffed with ice cream that was chocolate dipped. Shoto grabbed a matcha mochi ice cream, and we quickly paid.

"Let's go to that park to eat these!" I chimed, he nodded as I led him toward the park he was at when he was burned.

"When did you get a kimono?" he asked as we sat down.

"This is actually Papa's he just did a few adjustments to get it to work for me," I answered, he nodded taking a bite of his treat. "How has your training been? Do you have any new burns?"

"I'm okay…" he answered, I took a bite of the waffle.

"You better not be lying I have been learning good lecture skills from Recovery Girl you know." I teased, he snickered. "I can tell you're getting tense, feeling pressured about the festival, right? I wanna give you my number if you are getting stressed just text me. I will have my phone on anyway per Papa's orders. Text me and I'll come talk to you, how does that sound?"

"Yeah, I am getting a bit…" he began, I gently tousled his hair. "overwhelmed…"

"It's alright to be overwhelmed, I mean everyone gets like that, Dad, Papa, Uncle Might, you're human it happens. But you don't have to deal with it alone, I want to be there for you."

"Why?" he mumbled looking down at his lap.

"You're a good guy, you're my friend, of course, I wanna be here for you. We can relate a bit, we both have pro parents, maybe you can teach me some tricks to deal with the media." I said, he looked at me surprised.

"I never thought of that…" he said, I nodded.

"A bit ago I went to Papa's studio it was insane, it was so big and in Shibuya. Also, I can't get used to seeing his face plastered on Ads." I joked, he snickered. "I saw one in a magazine at the combini it was so silly like Papa is great but that hair. I like to joke that he is a cockatoo, I still don't even know how he does it or even came up with it. It's so extra."

"I saw one for a shaving ad, I can't even picture him with stubble," Shoto added, I snickered.

"I know, he's got such a baby face beside that moustache. Meanwhile, Dad shaves every other day and he is a mess. I swear in a week he could get a big bushy beard." I joked, he snickered.

"I kinda thought he never shaved." He admitted I nodded.

"Yeah, he shaves before bed and has stubble by morning. Even under the bandages, Papa takes time to shave him. Tomorrow he gets the last of his healing and will be out of casts tomorrow night. He is waiting till after the festival of course; he wants to see us all compete. Papa somehow convinced him to be in the announcer booth." I added, he smiled.

"That's good, the class has been pretty worried…" he muttered, I nodded.

"Yeah, he is a workaholic I swear, but he is getting better." I soothed, he nodded.

"So how was the whole trial thing yesterday, I saw a bit of it on the news?" he asked, I smiled.

"Great, it was long, but it was simple, but we did not expect that much media. Glad Uncle Might came to distract them a bit. Dad despises the media and Papa isn't too fond of them either. If they stormed us, I think it would have ended badly." I answered he nodded.

"Well Mic-sensei is a media hero; I mean it must be exhausting." He suggested that makes sense.

"Don't know why I never thought of that, but yeah that must be it. Maybe that explains the hair thing too, I mean he looks really different with it down." I mused, he nodded.

Taking a bite of my treat, I began to savour it. It was super good like I reversed waffle cone. I must try that mochi ice cream too, it looks good, I liked the mochi Papa got me to try. It was strawberry and it was super good. I heard a ring, I quickly dug out my phone, Shoto ate his mochi as I quickly answered the call.

"Hello." I greeted.

"Hey little girl, you guys done at the shrine yet, it's almost time for bed?" Papa chimed; I scratched my chin.

"Yeah, I am just at the park eating ice cream with Shoto I'll head home in a few minutes," I explained.

"Alright, see you soon sweetie!" he cheered, I smiled and heard him hang up.

"I guess we were out longer than I thought, here let's exchange numbers." I hummed, he nodded, and we did that quickly.

"I guess I'll see you tomorrow." He stated I smiled.

"Yep, be safe getting home!" I called as I waved him off.

I began to walk back home, he still seemed tense. But I am glad he was not hurt again. But the festival, all the pressure and I have no doubt he will be there. A small part of me feels a sense of impending doom. He seems like someone who would be angry if he underperforms. Without using his fire he'll lose. I mean he'll do great, but he won't be on top. What will that man do then?

I stopped and clenched my fist; I can't let anything happen now that I know. How can I stop this, I need to think of something? I have to participate and so does he, so I can't tail him. I can't trouble Dad and Papa either, Dad is getting his final healing and Papa hasn't slept much these past few days. Wait, Uncle Might is the Number one hero maybe he knows Endeavor I mean he is Number two or something right? Then Nezu is great, he is the principal he can probably help too.

I smirked as I began to walk with my back straight and my shoulder square. I know what I need to do, I can stop this. I can save him.

(Hizashi's POV)

"Welcome home!" I chimed as Yashiro came in, she turned to me smiling.

"I'm back, I had fun, Shrines are so cool!" she replied, I smiled at her excited tone.

"On our next school break, we can go see more." I offered, she grinned big nodding.

"That would be great, think we can drag Dad with us?" she replied, I nodded.

Of course, now you should start getting ready for bed, I'll untie your obi." I stated, she nodded, and I began to untie her obi. "All free, now go get into your pyjamas and bring this back down."

"Okay!" she cheered and raced off to her room.

I am glad she was having fun, but I am a bit worried. She has been off since she learned about the Todoroki household. I know that was upsetting for her, it hit her too close to home. I hope she understands that we need to take this slow. I don't even want her to be involved, she's dealt with enough of people like that flaming trash can.

Shouta was in bed sleeping, he needed his rest to get his final healing after the festival. I want him to get his rest, so I am trying to keep my worries to myself. I want to be happy that she is making friends, but I worry about her learning more horrors about Todoroki-kun.

"Here Papa!" she called racing down holding the kimono.

"Ah thank you, sweetie, you looked so nice in it, I'll have to buy you one before all the summer festivals begin." I hummed, she beamed at me.

"We can all go to one together, right?" she pleaded; I patted her hair.

"Of course, now let's go take our meds." I hummed, she nodded as I went to put away the kimono.

Well, she seemed pretty happy right now, maybe tonight was a good distraction. I guess I just need to keep an eye on her, but tomorrow she will be focused on the festival. Even if she isn't that into it, the whirlwind the festival is will keep her busy. Afterwards, I can talk to Shouta and we can have a better talk with her.
