My Hero Academia: Yashiro The First Quirk
Ch.30- Determination
After school we all went to a crepe stand, it was fun and we kinda were celebrating Mineta's expulsion. At the end we all split off, Shoto had joined me he wanted help with English. We decided to work on homework at my place and then he could just walk home. I opened the door and I heard the chorus of meows.
"Yes, yes I'm home, I will feed you in a minute," I stated, Shoto stepped in and I slipped off my shoes. "You can sit in the living room I gotta feed the cats or they will never shut up."
"They were so quiet last time." He stated, I chuckled.
"They are pretty routine; they don't like dinner being late," I stated as I spit a can between their bowls and set them down on the floor. "There eat up."
I stepped over the over-eager cats as they ate, they really ate like they were starved. Not that they were, to be honest, Papa had begun to notice Mochi was gaining a bit of weight. Dad was probably sneaking them treats, he liked to spoil them. It was kinda cute to see how much he adored the cats, a few times I found him doing work with all of them laying on and around him.
"You did really good in training today," Shoto stated as I entered the living room setting down my backpack.
"Thanks, it was kinda fun, to be honest. You did good too, you still getting used to using your fire, I can't wait to see you improve." I replied, his cheek reddened as I pulled out my homework and sat next to him on the floor. "Let's do English first."
"Uh sure, I was really confused about the translation here." He stated pointing to the paragraph we had to translate I did that in an instant.
"Okay, what word are you stuck on exactly, he pointed to the sentence. 'He was not the most skilled but he would try his best to keep pace with his co-workers.'
"Ah, okay then ending is what we call an idiom, basically these group of words together mean something that separately they don't. I know a bit weird right." I explained, he nodded. "So, think if you're trying to keep pace with something, like a race, what could that mean?"
"I am running with them, not behind them." He muttered.
"Yep, that's what that idiom means, he is keeping up with them," I explained, his eyes light up as he began to write his translation.
"Thanks, I think I can do the rest." He chimed, I smiled at him and pulled out my math homework.
"Ask me if you need help, I need to finish the math sheet," I stated, I am glad Mom put me into Math tutoring last year or I would be lost.
We sat in silence for a while as we worked on our homework, I was struggling with the last math question. It was nice to just sit here and do homework with a friend, back home it was a miracle if any of us even did our homework. I don't think any of us would have even tried to do homework together. Luckily, we had enough brains not to just fail with our laziness.
Man, I really should have tried a bit harder in school, but I guess Uzuki was worse. I still remember she would fall asleep and I had to wake her up when she was asked a question. Then I took the time to tutor her quickly in class. She would get lectured for always drawing during math or napping during English. One time we didn't even finish a book because we decided it was boring, we googled the ending.
"Yashiro, they said my Mom will get to leave the hospital next month," Shoto stated, I smiled and turned to him.
"That's great!" I chimed, he blushed.
"I haven't gone to see her since I was little, I feel I need to visit soon but I feel nervous." He muttered I put a hand on his shoulder.
"Why not go with your sister or brother sometimes, having someone there might help." I offered, he looked up at me.
"Can you come with me?" he asked, I smiled.
"Sure, you pick the time," I replied, he smiled and went back to his paper.
"She'd love you and I bet she wants to thank you." He added I patted his shoulder.
"You don't have to pay me back, none of you do, I wanted to help I couldn't do nothing when I saw it. Besides see you all happier is thanks enough to me." I soothed, he blushed. "I mean it, at school today and yesterday you actually smiled. I'm glad to see that, the others are too."
"You know though you can talk to me, I know you tried to brush off things after yesterday…" he began, I gripped my lead pencil tighter. "I mean it."
"I know, I just, to be honest, I don't want to talk about, don't worry I go to therapy to deal with it all. I just… As I said once I see something, I can't stop myself, I need to do something. I can't imagine anyone having to go through what I did. I refuse to let that happen. It the reason I asked to be in the hero course. I can notice things others may not, and I need to use it to help others." I rambled; I felt his arm around my waist as he pulled me to his side.
"Don't forget about yourself…" he muttered, I smiled and leaned my head against his shoulder.
"I'm working on that too, it's different to have people around who are ready to help…" I stated, he nodded.
"I get it, I thought it too, no one would care, he was a pro, who would believe me. Then you came and saw it all for what it was, it was overwhelming." He explained I guess we were quite a bit alike there. "But you never gave up, so I will be here to help you no matter what."
"Maybe we can be a great hero duo or something," I said.
"That would be nice…" he replied, I smiled and relaxed into his side.
(Aizawa's POV)
Hizashi had to run to his agency/station to meet up with his sidekicks for a meeting. I would finish making that curry he had planned for yesterday. I opened the door and saw an extra pair of shoes, who did she invite over this time. Slipping off my boots I stepped inside and peered into the living room to see her cuddled up to Shoto-kun side. They were both asleep, homework on the table in front of them as they leaned back against the couch.
Heading into the kitchen I began to wash my hands and put my hair up in a bun as I got to work finishing the vegetable prep. I had half an onion and few potatoes to cut then I had to cut of up the chicken. Those two could rest while I finish up dinner, I hope they were able to finish their homework but that seems unlikely. Still, those two had been through a lot of stressors over the past week or so, they were still kids after all.
(Yashiro's POV)
I opened my eyes blinking at the light coming in from the window, wait how late was it the sun was not this low. I sat up and I saw Shoto was still asleep, guess I fell asleep. I could hear noise from the kitchen and smelled curry. Dad or Papa must be home and preparing dinner, I looked down at my homework. I had to finish this math sheet and my ethics sheet.
Sitting up I stretched and picked up my led pencil and got back to work finishing that last math problem. I hoped it was right if not I can ask for help from someone in class before we have a test. Next was my ethics sheet, it was true and false about laws. I was still wasn't fully understanding the laws and ethics in the world of quirks. I went with my gut feeling, in a few minutes, I had finished my homework.
Sighing I reached over and began to shake Shoto's shoulder, he needed to finish his homework too, he was working on his history. I did that during the last break with Izuku. He was a good student and always helped me when I was too lost. History was hard, at least the more recent history was. It was odd learning about the time I would have lived in.
"Yashiro?" he muttered, I smirked.
"We fell asleep, come on you need to finish your homework." I urged, he sat up and got back to his homework.
Picking up my phone I saw it was about six-thirty, yeah, we usually had dinner at seven so that means we slept a good forty-five minutes. I saw that Kami and Sero were back in chat sending memes back and forth. Those two really needed to get more hobbies then spamming chat with memes. Still, it was nice, having a class chat was fun, I loved it.
"Done, what time is it?" Shoto muttered his voice laced with sleepiness.
"Six-thirty," I answered, he began to pack away his papers.
"I should head home; I am meant to help with dinner." He explained, I nodded and we both rose up. "Thanks for letting me stay."
"No problem, see ya in class tomorrow," I replied, I saw Dad come to see us.
"Be safe on the way home Shoto." Dad lectured, he nodded as he slipped on his shoes.
"I will Aizawa-sensei, see you tomorrow Yashiro you too sensei." He called as he raced off heading toward his house.
"Need any help with dinner?" I asked he shook his head.
"Nope, go pack up your bag." He answered, I nodded and began to pack away my homework and carried my bag up to my room.
I heard my phone vibrate, I picked it up, it was a message, I opened it up. Shinso, I sat on my bed as I opened the message. It was just a location, why did he send this? Wait, was he hurt? I rushed downstairs and into the kitchen. Dad looks a bit shocked.
"Dad Shinso he just sent me an address," I explained, he looks at the address.
"It's pretty close, I'll put this on low." He replied, I nodded and went to grab my shoes.
Soon we were racing down the streets, Dad was leading, he was better at directions then I was. I was worried, was Shinso hurt, did something happen? No, he would be fine, we would get there in time and Dad was with me. Soon we entered a park and I saw Shinso, I raced forward as he lay collapsed on a bench.
"Shinso!" I cried, his unswollen eye creaked open. "Are you okay what happened?"
"Some punks…" he muttered, I helped him up as Dad pulled a medkit from his costume.
"Let me take a look kid," Dad stated, he nodded and Dad began to look him over. "Well that's gonna be a black eye, your nose is broken."
I helped him up as Dad did a quick check over, Shinso hissed when Dad examined his left wrist and ankle. I helped him did back down as Dad took out some cloth and I took it wiping away the blood. Dad took out the wrap and began to wrap up his wrist and ankle. Shinso was hissing in pain, as I pulled away seeing his face clean of blood.
"Shinso, who beat you up?" I asked he shrugged as Dad tied off the wraps.
"Some neighbourhood kids, I don't really know them…" he grumbled, Dad began to pack up his kit.
"I'm taking you to a hospital, I think you might have broken that ankle and your wrist is probably sprained," Dad explained, he turned still crouched. "Get on you can't walk."
I helped Shinso onto Dad's back, once he was up, I stood back as Dad began to lead us to the nearest hospital. Some random kids had beat him up, for what? Why did so many people think he was a villain? He was a UA student there is no way he could be a villain. Was it all because of his quirk, no that made no sense? No way in the future people would hate you for… No, it was… People really discriminated you on your quirk…
"Yashiro mind calling Hizashi and tell him we'll be at Takadanobaba hospital," Dad ordered, I nodded and pulled out my phone from the skirt pocket.
Dialling Papa, I put the phone to my ear as I followed Dad, "Hello darling, what's up?" Papa greeted, I smiled at his voice.
"Me and Dad are the way to Takabanobaba hospital right now, Shinso-kun was hurt," I explained, I heard some loud shuffling sounds.
"Alright, I will head over that way, see you all there." He replied and I heard him hang up.
"He's gonna meet us there," I explained.
"I didn't mean to bother you, sensei…" Shinso apologized.
"It's not a bother, you're hurt, it's kinda my job kid," Dad replied.
"Still I could have handled this myself." He muttered I stepped forward.
"You're hurt, you couldn't walk, I'm glad you messaged me, Dad's right it's no bother," I argued, he looked shocked.
"Thank you…" he replied, I smiled as he seemed to relax a little.
"No problem kid, once we get to the hospital, they will call your guardians," Dad stated, I saw Shinso tense up. "If there is a reason to not to do that, tell me now."
"No, it's fine sir…" he muttered, he was so clearly lying.
"Then why'd you tense up?" Dad questioned; he bit his lip anxiously.
"They'll just be worried…" he lied, I almost stopped in my tracks when he said that.
"We'll leave it there for now," Dad stated, I felt my heart sink, he had been betrayed before, like me.
I walked behind Dad in silence, even in a society full of heroes, stuff like this still happened. Dad can't do anything if Shinso won't speak, and he isn't. No, I'll help him learn to trust. If he trusts us, trusts me then he will tell us and we can save him. I am not giving up on you Shinso, I will save you!
(Hizashi's POV)
I picked up Yashiro and Shouta at the hospital the guardians had been called, Shinso didn't talk. Yashiro didn't seem lost; she had this fire in her eyes. Another plan I guess, we could talk to her when we got home. She never gave up; it was amazing to see how devoted she could be.
Soon we pulled into the community parking garage, I drove in and put my car into its spot. Almost home, then we can eat, and relax. Mostly I need to take down my hair, my neck is getting pretty sore. We all got out and Yashiro turned to us she had such a sweet smile.
"We will save him, don't worry." She said I put an arm around her shoulder.
"One step at a time," I added, she nodded and beamed up at me.
"Alright let's go home and eat," Shouta stated, I smirked.
"Dinner then a bath!" I chimed.
Yashiro giggled and grabbed my hand pulling both me and Shouta out of the car park and down the road toward home. Shouta and I smirked to each other as we let our daughter tug us along. She would be fine, no matter what she would pull through. My heart swelled with pride; our daughter will make a great hero.
