Thank you for reading!
Traditional Twist
Chapter Two
Tokoyami always found it fascinating to see what type of people his sister would gravitate towards. When she was in a small group setting the variety of people she spoke to varied. Once surrounded by a large group, she was not willing to let go of her brother. Tokoyami was able to get food from the cafeteria for both of them thanks to the assistance of Dark Shadow, before coming and taking a seat at his usual table.
The rest of Class 1-A slowly gathered around the table. It wasn't unusual for the class to eat together like this, but this was certainly not the occasion. Tokoyami knew it was his classmates trying to be supportive. To him, it was rather heartwarming. To Sora, it was intimidating. So many strange people gathering around. They all tried to get her to join their conversations. The small child just sank into her seat until Tokoyami handed her a skewer with beef and vegetables on it.
As his little sister began eating, Tokoyami watched as Shoji and Koda went to sit on the opposite end of the table with Midoriya and Iida. He sighed inwardly. "I hope they are not disheartened that I never told them much about our family," He thought to Dark Shadow.
"Secrets don't make friends Fumikage," Dark Shadow stated. "Though we know equally as much about them as they do about you."
"I suppose your right,"
Sora was clearly hungry. Though she had packed plenty of applesauce containers for snacks, the way the small girl was eating showed it been a while since she had a cooked meal. Tokoyami eyed his hungary sister. They was she was eating was… concerning.
"Is there more?" Sora asked.
Dark Shadow handed the girl another kabob and she devoured the stick. The shadow wrapped around her, sandwiching Sora between itself and Tokoyami. She was happy to be curled up in the dark hug.
"How did you get into the school?" Tokoyami asked Sora after she finished her second Kabob. "Did Hound Hero let you in?"
Sora took a third kabab from Dark Shadow. "He didn't know he let me in. He just got distracted by something else. I just sort of walked in."
"That's concerning," Tokoyami mumbled through a large mouthful of rice. "How did you find Bakugou?"
"He was yelling," Sora explained. "Some weird guy was talking to him, and I heard Bakugou tell him he was a 'pussy ass wanna be hero with no quirk of his own." She said it just as abrasive as Bakugou would.
"Language," Tokoyami scolded.
"But that's how he said it! Besides. I knew he was good because they guy was making fun of class 1-A. That's your class. So if Bakugou was standing up to him, then he would be willing to tell me where you were."
"That's a good interpretation," a cool and soft voice said from across the table.
Tokoyami looked up to class 1-B's Monoma standing in front of him and his sister. He had a smug look across his blonde face. Sora ruffled the feathers on the back of her neck. "That's the pussy guy."
"Are you a mockingbird little one?" Monoma asked. "Because you are making a mockery of yourself and your brother."
Just as Tokoyami started to move up, two large hands wrapped themselves around the blonde. "The only one making a mockery is you," a red haired girl stated. She turned to Tokoyami and Sora. "Sorry about Monoma. He hates not being able to come up with the right insults at the right time."
Sora Scooted further away in her seat. She crouched lower in the table, burying her head in Tokoyami's side. "Tokoyami, is that your little sister?" Kendo stepped forward, causing the girl to cling more to Tokoyami's side.
Tokoyami nodded. "Yes. This is my sister, Sora."
Kendo leaned down and saw the girl was hiding from her. "I didn't mean to scare her."
"It's fine, Kendo," Tokoyami said. "Thank you for your assistance."
"Any time." The red head walked off, carrying the blubbering blonde away.
Sora poked her head up. "Is she gone?"
"Yes," Tokoyami nodded. "Why were you hiding?"
"She looks a lot like dad's new girlfriend."
Tokoyami froze. "Dad's new girlfriend. When did he get a girlfriend?"
"A few weeks ago. She always makes dad go with her on her work trips."
"Is that where dad is right now?"
Sora nodded. "Yeah. If I would have called, all he would do is yell and complain. There is nothing he can do from that far."
"He shouldn't be leaving you alone with mom."
"I'm only alone with mom part of the time."
Tokoyami sighed. "School doesn't count."
"I'm not talking about school." The child placed her kabob down. She curled her knees up to her chest and rocked slightly.
Tokoyami noticed the shift her body language. She was slowly entering with in herself. She was hiding something. "Who else is with you?"
Tokoyami stared in silence as he waited for Sora to elaborate. He was nervous. When she withdrew like this, something bad was happening.
"You don't think it's her, do you?" Dark Shadow thought to Tokoyami.
"I hope not," was Tokoyami's response. He continued to wait unto Sora finally whispered.
"Grandma is there sometimes."
"Shit," Tokoyami thought. This was what he thought. "I thought Grandma wasn't allowed to come over to watch you anymore."
"Grandma can't watch me when I'm alone," Sora corrected. "When mom is home, I'm not alone."
Tokoyami wrapped an arm around Sora. "I'm sorry."
"I don't need your pity," Sora squeaked. Her hands said otherwise as she grabbed a hold of her brother's hand. The hugged each other for a while. Dark Shadow even joined the embrace for a moment.
"These seats taken?" Tokoyami turned and saw Kirishima, Sero, and Bakugou standing across from them.
Tokoyami smiled. "Please."
"Bakugou!" Sora hopped up and hugged his leg.
Bakugou stared at the small child attached to him. "What?"
"Sit next to me!" She jumped back up on the seat and pointed to the chair next to her.
"Tsc, sure," he mumbled. He walked to the chair she was pointing to and sat down.
"Wow, Bakugou. I'm so proud that you made a friend without Kirishima's help." Sero smirked as he too a bite.
Bakugou growled, but decided to ignore the tape boy. Kirishima however joined in on the fun. "Don't be jealous, Sero. Dude's a natural with kids."
"It's not nice to joke with other people's feelings," Sora said staring at Kirishima and Sero. "Especially if it is mean suggesting that a third party isn't smart enough to know you making fun of them."
Kirishima and Sero both ogled at the Girl while Bakugou took a bite of his food with a very smug look on his face. Tokoyami shook his head, but couldn't help but laugh. Sora was sensitive, but also quite defensive of people she liked.
"Do you want another kabob?" Tokoyami asked her.
"Yeah!" Sora grabbed the food and began to scarf it down.
"Damn. Breath, kid." Bakugou eyed the girl as she ate.
"Bakugou! You can't cuss at a kid!" Sero reprimanded.
"What?" Bakugou spoke with a half full mouth. "It's like she hasn't eaten in days."
"That's not true," Sora corrected. "I've been eating cereal."
Bakugou's eyebrow rose slightly. "Just cereal?"
Sora nodded as she finished the next kabob. She reached for one more, which Tokoyami rapidly anded her. He shot a knowing look to Bakugou, who simply nodded and continued eating.
"So you just ate cereal? Nothing else?" The blonde asked.
Sero and Kirishima did their best to change their expressions from concerned, but they had no poker face. Tokoyami sharpened his stare, causing the pair to flinch. Tokoyami couldn't let his sister know how concerned he actually was. He needed to remain calm, and so did everyone else. Bakugou was far more skilled at this, either not actually caring or being able to remain as neutral as possible. Sora seemed to be responding well to him.
"Well I had applesauce too, and whatever that had at lunch for school. But otherwise it was cereal at home."
"That sound like a weird meal; applesauce and cereal," Bakugou commented while he continued to eat. His eyes were straight ahead, and not at the Girl.
"But then I only needs one spoon," Sora argued.
Bakugou shrugged and continued eating. Kirishima and Sero tried to fill the air with light hearted conversation, but all fell into stale silence. Sora leaned her head against her brother's side and covered her ears with her hands.
Tokoyami looked around. The cafeteria had somehow gotten busier. There were a lot of people now. He leaned his head down towards her. "Want to go so where I stay when I am here?"
She nodded and hopped out of the seat. She stretched her arms up to Tokoyami. He picked her up, with one arm, stacking his dishes with his other hand and the help of Dark Shadow.
"Enjoy your afternoon," Tokoyami nodded to the remaining group at the table.
The small girl yawned and placed her head on Tokoyami's shoulder. "I'm tired, Fumi."
Tokoyami chuckled. "After everything you just ate? I'd be surprised if you were not."
When Tokoyami arrived back to his dorm, Sora was sound asleep. Tokoyami unlocked his room and placed his sister on his bed, and draped the comforter over her body. Tokoyami then took a seat on the bed. He brought one knee to his chest and straightened the other. He tilted his head back and closed his eyes.
Dark Shadow poked his head of from Tokoyami's chest. "You are anxious."
"I am." Tokoyami nodded with his thoughts.
"You can't be thinking of quitting. We just got our provisional license."
"But can I leave her to suffer like this?" Tokoyami pointed to Sora. "She can't deal with our parents on her own."
Dark Shadow sighed. "Do you really think it is necessary?"
Tokoyami nodded. "I don't really see much of a choice. We have to drop out of U.A. and go back home."
