~SAME DAY~

A few hours after I was able to leave the hospital. Most of the patents I passed either glared at me or just plain pitied me. After all, what else could I expect from everyone?

Pointed ears, sharp teeth with long fangs, pitch-black hair, and a long slender shadow-like tail.

Now, yes, quirks can cause people to look like me, however... On my right arm was a special device that was no larger than two wide banded bracelets. It monitored my heart-rate and various other things because they could cause my blood to activate.

So, I would have to learn control over it... If that was even possible. There was never enough time for someone to learn control over their form before they gave in.

In all honesty, I'm terrified of myself. My heart starts pounding at the smallest things, it's been like that since my eyes. My head starts to hurt with burning pain, and soon enough my entire body feels that way. My heart starts pounding to the point where it feels like it's going to burst, then I generally pass out.

However, now, My hands and feet would become claws covered in some type of a shadow, wings made of the same thing would appear on my back, along with two sharp and curled horns. My crimson eyes are visible through my contacts and my tongue long and to a point. So far that's all I knew since everyone looks different. Even though many people look the same, no one has seen anyone that had looked like I did in that grotesque form.

I didn't even know if that was all of it. I only knew what they had told me that others had seen at that moment...

What if no one gives me a chance...?

What if I end up hurting someone...?

I haven't even talked to Kacchan since that day... What will he think of me?

I know what All Might said... but what if it was a lie?

No...

What am I thinking? There's no way it could be a lie, right?

I got out of my bed and headed downstairs to talk with my mom. She was sitting at the table with her hands folded on top of it, she seemed to be deep in thought. I couldn't help but realize, she didn't even know I was in the room.

"Mom?" I spoke in a light tone of voice, and even then she was startled by my speaking, "Are you alright?"

Her head jolted up and she faced me, "Izuku! I'm sorry, I didn't hear you come down the stairs!"

I sighed, "It's fine, I could tell..."

We both remained silent for a moment before I spoke up again, "Is something bothering you?"

She looked over at me before looking down at the table, "It's nothing... You don't need to be worrying about me, worry about yourself."

That hit me like a ton of bricks honestly, it wasn't hard to tell how she was feeling about me.

"I thought you believed in me?" I muttered beneath my sharp breath.

"What was that, honey?" She looked up at me and I guess she noticed something because a look of shock crossed her face.

She looked nervous, and tried faking a smile, "I'm sorry if I upset you, dear, would you mind calming down a bit?"

I turned around and walked back up the stairs into my room, shutting the door behind me. I looked in the mirror and noticed my eyes were bright red. Burning with a bright crimson glow, my eyes burned with the hue of rage.

I knew it... I don't have control over my emotions... They're too strong...

I placed my hand over my eyes reflection on the mirror and turned to face the floor.

I had never gotten angry at her before... What is this blood doing to me...

-!-DESCRIPTIVE PAIN WARNING-!-

-!NOT SUITABLE FOR YOUNGER READERS!-

I fell to my knees and bent over on the floor as I screamed. Tears fell from my cheeks as they streamed from my eyes. Everything around me seemed to be swallowed up by a dark liquid shadow, and it began creeping towards me as if having a conscience. Also feeling as if I was losing my own.

The air around me became thick, and it felt as if I couldn't breathe. The feeling of a heavy mass sitting on my shoulders made it hard to move, I felt as if I was trapped in ice as the think air became cold.

I could see the think black shadow-like liquid drip down off my face.

I struggled to move, as a burning pain flowed through my arms and legs. Slowly, I managed to get off my arms and sat up on my knees. The pain feeling as if my skin was being torn from my muscles as my skin left the floor, now covered in the black liquid.

Although the air itself was cold, the liquid was burning. It felt as if my body was being frozen and baked at the same time. I could see the dark crimson liquid as it flowed from my hands dripped into the liquid that covered the room.

I grasped my head and tried to block out what I was seeing, the pain it caused is unbearable. I could feel my claw forming as they dug into the skin on my face. I turned my head and saw the mirror behind me, seeing my eyes glowing red and the blood flowing down my head dripping from my chin.

I lashed my arm back and shattered the mirror to bits. Shards of glass jammed into my hand that was already deprived of it's covering skin.

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING! IT HURT'S SO MUCH! I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!

I took my hands and placed them over my eyes, and clawed straight into them. Compared to the pain I had been consumed with, the pain caused by clawing out my own eyes was nothing. Feeling the cold blood streaming down my face from the sockets. I didn't want to see any of this anymore...

-!-DESCRIPTIVE PAIN OVER-!-

And then suddenly...

It all vanished...

The burning sensation that filled my body, the shadow-like black liquid, my blood.

Even the damage I had done to my body...

Everything was gone.

Well...

Everything besides...

The broken mirror...

"Izuku!" I could hear my mom screaming my name, but she wasn't in my room, but she sounded like she was right there next to me.

Then I realized, I had been unconscious that entire time.

I managed to wake up and looked over at my mom. I was sprawled out over the floor, shattered glass from the mirror covered the floor around me.

"I heard you scream and when I came up here," She paused when she noticed me crying.

"Mom," I stood up and grabbed her, holding her to keep me safe, "I never want to see that again..."

"What do you-" She stopped and wrapped her arms around me, holding me tight, "It's alright honey, I'm here to help you..."

I could hear her crying too, "My poor baby, you don't deserve this..."

After a few hours of getting my head straight, I went to bed, at least, I tried to. I was terrified of shutting my eyes. Every time I shut them I could see that horrifying moment. Even though it wasn't real it felt real. I felt all of the pain, I felt every little thing as it touched my skin.

I never wanted to feel that way again...

Ever...

Again...

Only at that moment...

I wanted to die...

The next morning I got ready for my first day at UA. I walked into the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. My skin was extremely pale, but I didn't feel light-headed in the slightest. My eyes were bright and you now see them through the contacts I had been wearing. So I didn't bother with them anymore.

I had dark shadows below my eyes that I couldn't get rid of.

I opened my mouth and moved my upper lip with my finger to look at my teeth. Sharp, white, fangs that could cut my finger with the slighting bit of pressure. My teeth could easily be compared to that of an extremely sharp knife. After all, it doesn't even feel like anything had cut your skin in the first place.

I figured that out when I bit my lip accidentally and didn't even realize I had when I had lunch at the hospital the other day.

So now I had a dark red scar on my lip that constantly looked like I had fresh crimson blood on it.

I placed my monitor on my arm and let it poke its small needle into my arm with its tiny tube. Kinda like the small IV tube's one would get at the hospital, only the liquid in my monitor was a very small amount and would have to get refilled if it was ever used. It's supposed to calm me down quickly if my heart rate ever speeds up too much. It's only supposed to help it, to give me enough time to calm down myself.

I walked back to my room and grabbed my bag and headed down the stairs.

I hugged my mom after she handed me my lunch before heading out the door and to the station.

I grabbed my phone and messaged Iida when I got on the train.

Me - "Hey, Iida."

I - "Midoriya, what is it?"

Me - "I'm on my way to UA right now, can I meet you at the station where we get off?"

I - "Yeah, I'm here right now waiting for Uraraka, I'm sure she wouldn't mind waiting for a few more minutes."

Me - "Thank you, I'll be there soon!"

I put my phone back in my bag and waiting until I got to my stop where I was to meet up with Iida and Uraraka.

"Midoriya!" They both yelled as they saw me walking through the door.

I continued walking until someone pushed me out of the way and tripped me, causing me to fall out of the train and onto the pavement, dropping my belongings around me.

"Move it, demon child..." I heard the man say with a sour tone in his voice.

I stood up as my two friends rushed over to me and helped me pick everything up.

"Thank's you guys," I sighed.

"Some people are just rude like that," Uraraka stated.

I looked down, "Yeah... but I also understand that it's more than that to everyone else."

"Don't talk like that," Iida said, "Let's get going, don't want to be late for our first day."

We began walking together to UA when Uraraka spoke up, "That reminds me, what class are you two in?"

"1-A," Me and Iida both said at the same time.

"What, me too!" She jumped.

I was extremely happy to hear that the two people who trusted me were in the same class as me. So, we continued to talk as we made our way to UA.

As we made our way through the halls I picked up the voiced of kids nowhere near us, a ways behind us down the hall, talking about me. I clenched my hands by my sides and slouched my shoulders. I sighed and kept on walking until the three of us made it to class.

We all walked into the classroom together and looked around.

As soon as I realized who was in the class with me I about ran out of there.

"Ka- Kacchan..." My eyes were wide as I stared directly as the spiky blonde who had his feet up on the desk.

As soon as he locked eyes with me he instantly stood up and began walking towards me.

I stumbled back a bit into the hall as he approached me.

He pushed Iida and Uraraka out of the way and grabbed me by the collar, "What the hell, Deku... Why are you here?"

"He made it into the hero course just like the rest of us," Iida pulled him off of me, "I must ask you to stop-"

Iida finally noticed something about Kacchan that I had already known about him.

"You're a-" I interrupted him.

"Angel..." I sighed, "I already knew a few of the students here were going to be on the angelic blood-line."

I walked past everyone and headed to my seat that was behind Kacchan's.

After seeing me go sit down, everyone else decided to as well.

I ignored everyone who glared at me because they didn't trust me. I just sighed and waited until our teacher got here.

Soon enough, he was in the classroom.

Mr. Aizawa, or as we later learned ERASER HEAD.

Aizawa made it clear that he didn't think someone like me should've been let into UA. One, because of how my quirk damages my body, and two, because I was a danger to the class.

Frankly, I couldn't blame him... I couldn't blame anyone for not trusting me either.

The entire day was filled with distrust.

I didn't like it.

As well as there is one other of the angelic blood-line in our class, Shoto Todoroki. I'm pretty sure he's Endeavors son.

So after the day had concluded I went home.

I sat in my room with my monitor still on my arm and active just in case.

I wanted to try and gain control over my form so I was trying to figure out a way to activate it without me getting worked up.

Soon enough, I worked up the courage to try it without the monitor because it wouldn't activate with it on.

So I had it retract the tube out of my arm that pumped small amounts of liquid throughout the day, and set it to where it would only send it through when my heart rate went up. Therefore, my emotions could spike easily, so I had to be careful.

It took a while, but eventually, I managed to get my demonic form to activate without my heart rate spiking instantly. I was able to hold that form for a good five minutes until my monitor kicked in. My heart rate had been increasing slowly until it spiked. So, after it injected my arm with the special liquid I was hit with major drowsiness for a moment until I was able to function normally again.

I took out the small cartridges from my drawer and refilled the monitor. As well, as I placed a few extra ones in my school bag. Whenever we had out hero course classes, the teacher was going to have a view of the reading from my monitor and the option to manually inject me with the liquid from the monitor, if they noticed something of concern and the monitor wouldn't react or wasn't able to notice it.

Soon enough it was the next day.

Core classes as normal until we had our hero course later in the day.

All Might came into our classroom surprisingly loud, and everyone was surprised.

Everyone in the room was filled with awe, as the hero, they admired the most entered the room.

Soon enough, we were instructed to put on our costumes and head outside to the training grounds.

(His costume is the same as the original except its either a darker green or black, you can decide. His costume is going to change along with the story as it progresses how I see fit. Also, since his shadow clas form over his hands, they will form over the gloves since they are quite large. Kinda think of them like Tokoyami's dark shadow but not that bit. Okay? good XD)

"I love your costume!" Uraraka told me as we were walking.

"I wish I had been more specific, this bodysuit is skin tight!" She sighed with a laugh.

We continued to talk until All Might began to explain the drill.

Soon we drew lots and found out our pairing for the matches.

Me and Uraraka, vs, Kacchan and Iida.

I wasn't looking forward to this...

ANYONE CONFUSED ON HOW THE MONITOR ON IZUKU'S WRIST WORKS? GO AHEAD AND ASK QUESTIONS! I WILL ANSWER THEM XD.

AGAIN, AS I AM 15 I DON'T SEE THE NEED FOR THE RATING TO BE CHANGED. BUT IF THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO CHANGE IT. IF SOMEONE FEELS THAT I'M OVER STEPPING THE RATING JUST A LITTLE TOO MUCH I WILL CHANGE IT OR I WILL TOWN DOWN MY DESCRIPTIONS. AS FOR THIS CHAPTER, I ALREADY HAD TO DIAL MY DESCRIPTIONS BACK AND CUT A DECENT PART OF IT BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS A LITTLE TOO GORY.

SO LEMME KNOW, AND I'LL DO MY BEST TO FIX IT.

I WANT EVERYONE TO BE COMFORTABLE READING MY STORIES IF THEY LIKE THEM. SO IF I MUST REMOVE THE BLOODY DETAILS I WILL. BUT IN ORDER FOR THIS STORY TO BE THE SAME THE DARK THEMES MUST STAY IN.

OKAY, EVERYONE HAPPY, GOOD. IF NOT, LET ME KNOW!
