The next day
Kagura had woken up and found himself to be in a ton of pain. His adopted father sat there with Aoi sleeping on his shoulder. He then gave him a small smile and said:
"Nice to see you awake".
"The Demon Brothers, are they-
"They fled, but you did manage to severely damage two of them greatly. We have one of the leaders in custody. You were a bit too brutal, but your actions had managed to help both The League and the heroes".
"No matter. Now how soon can I get out of here?" he asked stoically.
"I have to check and see how you're doing first and when Dr. GIntaka heard you nearly killed yourself, she demanded you not be released until you undergo a psychiatric evaluation".
"I haven't seen her since I was twelve and I don't need to be mandated for treatment anymore".
"But you also paralyzed fourteen people, severely injured seven people and paralyzed another man from the neck downward", stated Dr. Gintaka coldly.
She still looked just as beautiful as she did many years ago, but now looked the part of late thirties, early forties looking woman with shorter hair.
"And then you pretty much attempted suicide", she stated again as a matter of fact.
"I knew All Might would save me. So, I didn't attempt anything", he said stoically.
"You still tried to crush a man to death".
"I got carried away", he lied coolly.
"So, you weren't homicidal or suicidal at all? You just got carried away because he killed your parents?" she asked now toning it down to a nicer tone.
"Yes. I was injured really badly and my quirk seemed to have manifested differently because it was stronger and I had better control over it. I didn't know what I was thinking, and I wasn't in a rational state of mind from the amount of pain I was in".
"Do you want to kill the man who killed your parents?"
"I want to bring him to justice. Not kill him out of revenge", he said passively.
"Okay. I believe you Kagura", she said with a smile.
"Now why is there a dog in my hospital?" she asked pointing to Shiro in dog form.
She got up at being mentioned and looked at the doctor. The doctor then came over and started petting Shiro while saying:
"It doesn't matter because you're so cute and pretty that you're allowed to stay here!" she said as if talking to a child.
Shiro simply licked her in gratitude and then the old doctor said:
"Shiro look who's up. It's Kagura".
Shiro then stopped had her ears up and seemingly perked up at the mention of Kagura. Then she swiveled around, wagged her tail and barked in excitement. She then jumped on his bed and licked him then laid down next time making sure he's cuddled with while panting happily. She then looked into Kagura's eyes and said to him through telepathy:
"I missed you master! Don't be stupid like that again and nearly get killed!"
"I missed you too, Shiro".
Aoi woke up and said:
"You're finally up. I thought you would never wake up when tou-sama told me of your injuries. I'm glad you're up though onii-sama. I better get to school. I missed enough days for my first week. Even though I'm granted two months of missing school because I'm a model and can always have a teacher come with me, I can't waste them so fast. I only get two months per year then semester".
"Okay. Goodbye, imouto. And I'm sorry for making worry over me".
"It's okay onii-sama. I love you and you tou-sama".
"I love you too", replied Dr. Fujitora.
She then left and Dr. Gintaka thought about how pretty she is. Kagura then said:
"I better get to-
"No. You don't have to go in. UA is closed due to them needed to repair the damages the villains left behind. I called Momo this morning and she should be gathering up your class to come see you. So, you won't be lonely as you rest until about five pm. Then Shiro, you and I will go home together. Sound fair?"
"Sure", he said stoically.
Then he left to go work along with Dr. Gintaka who merely waved to him goodbye. Shiro then turned into her human form which she was surprisingly covered by clothes this time. She then gave him a lick and said:
"I'm really glad you're not dead master. I wanted to at least serve you for a year before you passed on. Come to mama now".
She then put her boobs on his chest and proceeded to lick his cheek like a dog which caused him to blush. Just then Kagura had caught sight of a stunned Tenya with a blush on his face. He then heard whispering behind Tenya and Kagura then said:
"Uhh… Shiro. You should really stop".
"And why would I do that master? It's my duty to serve you", she said sensually as she messaged part of his chest.
"Because we have-
"KAGURA-KUN! YOU NEVER TOLD US YOU HAD SUCH A PRETTY WOMAN BY YOUR SIDE!" Tenya exclaimed while flailing his hand again and making his presence known to Shiro who simply smirked at the title.
"I'm not his girlfriend young man. I am his servant, only a woman more beautiful and stronger than me can dare have his heart", she said sensually.
"Oh! I enjoy your protective spirit of Kagura-kun! Please keep up the good work as his dutiful servant!" he said while flailing his arm.
"Sure thing. Now then, who is that behind you?"
"These are my classmates. I shall let them in".
All nineteen of the students had then walked into the. They then all bowed their heads and thanked Kagura in a chorus. He of course nodded his head at them. Then each of them talked to Kagura and Shiro one on one. They each left once they got a one on one audience with Kagura and thanked him for fighting off the villains. The crowd then dwindled down to about Kyoka, Denki, Tenya, Ochaco, Izuku, Mari and Momo. Tenya was the first to say how grateful he is to have such a powerful and noble classmate at his side to keep them safe. Kyoka and Denki only said thank you and looked nervous in front of him. When he asked why they are nervous, they just said that Kagura was scary and what he did kind of traumatized them a bit. They then left in a hurry and Mari then made it deep by saying:
"Kagura, I'm grateful that you had risked getting killed and practically dying to defeat the and saving a dear friend of mine. But your life is always more important than making sure another person is dead or you dying period. I had to be responsible for controlling most of the hysteria involved in our class, because you decided to be selfish and nearly die. Let me tell you right now, you aren't going serve as a monument towards your revenge. I wasn't told by anyone or even if you do want revenge, I just know by having looked at you, you wanted something unforgivable done and went through a life of pain. Even so, I understand your actions and I hope you and I can talk about our pasts. As I have someone, I want revenge towards as well".
The three looked other students looked surprised at the bicolored student's speech and Izuku and Momo noted to ask about her past later.
"Thank you", Kagura said stoically.
"But don't forget, that I want to surpass you some day. You are a mere obstacle for me and someone that I want to beat as well as Izuku. And I promise I will be number one over you two and anyone who gets in my way", she said with determination.
"Noted".
With that she left and Ochaco came up and simply gave him an immense sushi and sashimi platter she picked up from a store near them. Kagura's eyes widened as he saw crab, squid, octopus, tuna, salmon, clam and some various rolls. Overall there was eighty different pieces of sushi, sashimi and rolls on the plate. He then looked at Ochaco and pointed to himself and she nodded with a smile. He then said:
"Thank you so much", he said his voice warm with gratitude.
"You're welcome. I'm not much of a words person for expressing gratitude. I prefer to do things, so I asked Momo what you liked to eat and I got you this. Feel better and thank you for risking your life to defeat the villains. And don't get killed again; Deku-kun, Tenya-kun and I like having you around us".
She then left, and it was Izuku's turn to speak. He looked deadly serious and Kagura at first thought he figured out he was a spy. Especially when he asked Momo to leave and prevent anyone from entering. He then asked him with a fierce seriousness that made Kagura scared:
"Was your name originally Kagura Uchiro?"
Kagura thought about telling him the truth, but he was scared at what he might now. He remembered him from over ten years ago, but he didn't know if he should let him now, he knew who he was. Izuku saw is conflict in his eyes and thought he was scaring him and say he said:
"I don't care about what you did. My kaa-san told me all about your rampage and she doesn't who you are. I just want to know your birth name. Please, Kagura-kun".
"Yes. My name was Kagura… Uchiro".
Izuku didn't look fazed, he instead said: "I don't care if you don't remember or not. But I remember vividly. You gave me hope, you gave me a dream to follow when my dream of being a hero was taken away at four years old. You made me into a stronger, dedicated, ambitious and determined boy. You inspired to go above and beyond myself and overcome any and every obstacle in my way. I stuck to those words when you told me to be a soldier or a police officer. You made me into the man I am today. So, I want to tell you the secret behind my quirk. How I went from quirkless, to having a quirk and I want you to know of how much you inspired me to be who I am today".
Izuku then went over his entire history with Kagura. From the countless spars and training he went through to make it as a soldier, to almost getting into a prestigious military high school and being given such an incredible opportunity for greatness in the army. He then talked about the massacre he witnessed at twelve years old, to meeting All Might and then telling him about being trained personally by the number one hero for two years, training to control his quirk and how he now has been given One for All and must step into the shoes of being the ninth user of it and surpassing All Might. Kagura meanwhile just pretended to look shocked but he was aware of some of the information already and it confirmed his suspicions of Izuku being groomed by All Might as he, Kazuto and Tomura are being groomed by All for One. Izuku then said:
"I owe you, so… much for what you have helped me accomplish and become. I have become stronger, smarter, faster, more efficient and my talent has blossomed to such an astonishing rate. I thank you at the bottom of my heart Kagura-kun, and I will always be by your side. As your friend and as someone that has a debt to pay to you. You have my word that I will help you with your goals and bringing that man to justice with you for killing your parents".
Kagura was stunned at the fierceness of his enemy, rival and now declared friend. He could only say:
"Thank you, Izuku…"
But deep down, he wished he had never met Izuku all those years ago and ran into him, because he knows that he has also caused Izuku great pain from the massacre. Especially while in the middle of his speech, he declared he take down Carnage. He wished he never met him, so that he doesn't have to betray him so brutally in the end and so Izuku wouldn't be so heartbroken. He then thought to himself:
'Why do I care about what I do to the enemy?'
This stumped him. He didn't even notice Momo come in and Izuku leave. Only her voice brought him back to his senses. She asked him:
"Are you okay Kagura?"
He simply nodded his head. She gave a sad smile and said:
"Do you want to know why I chose to go last?" she said her voice trembling
"Why?" he asked unaware of what would happen next.
Her face then contorted into a sadness and tears streamed out of it as she put her face in her hands and sobbed into them. She then said through the tears:
"You hurt me the most when you did all that!"
She then sobbed enough to where people started peeking into the door window to see what was going on. Kagura didn't know how to react, he never had anyone cry for him before. But seeing her crying made Kagura have a stabbing feeling in his chest that he couldn't shake away. She then looked up and said:
"Do you have any idea of the thoughts that went through my head about you being stabbed in the stomach? How hurt you were? How much pain I saw you in? It hurt me so much to see you like that Kagura! I couldn't stand it! I only get that way with my parents, never with anyone else! And when you nearly killed yourself, that would have killed me! Did you really want to die like that!? With your family and friends in pain killing just one man for something like revenge!?"
"I didn't want to die like that, but I just didn't care about anyone else or think of anyone else… I just wanted to make him pay and go away for taking away everything from me at the time. No one could understand how that feels, to have lost everything. And he was going to take more from me, so I did what I could to take him out! Even if it meant me going down with him!" he said passionately.
"Then what? Have the people you still have left mourn for you and make others go through the same hell you went through!? You're my second friend, but I already care about you so much more than a friend and you… you… make me feel things that I don't normally feel. You bring out the best and worst of me and you are already just as precious to me as my best friend, and I don't even know you that well! That's why I'm begging you not to do that again. Don't put me through that same hell a yesterday".
Kagura then felt a new feeling being surfaced that he has forgotten about since his parents died. The feeling of being cherished and loved by another human being. He couldn't help but realize, that he really didn't want to put his first friend through that same hell he went through. Tears started pouring out of his eyes. He then said emotionally:
"I'm sorry… I promise I won't ever hurt you like that again…"
Momo then got on his bed and snuggled deep into his chest and cried into it as tears softly escaped his eyes. From realizing how much he hurt his dear friend but realizing that he now had more people love him than both of his parents. He had his dear partner, Esdeath, Aoi, Dr. Fujitora, possibly Shiro, All for One and this girl who made him feel things that he could not explain either. Just then Ichigo walked in and asked surprised:
"What happened you two? This scene looks like something out of a soap opera!" he exclaimed dramatically
"Nothing tou-sama. I was just explaining to Kagura how hurt I was at seeing his state".
"Oh. I see. Don't hurt my daughter ever again Kagura, and don't you dare try to end your life again either. You're not alone anymore, so you shouldn't have to die in vain", he said seriously.
"Yes sir", said Kagura returning to his stoic tone.
Momo then pecked him on the cheek which made Kagura blush and while she too had her face as bright red as Ichigo's hair said:
"I'll see you in school tomorrow, Kagura-kun".
He then flashed a big smile that hadn't surfaced since he was seven and said in a happy tone: "Hai. I'll see you in school, Momo-chan!"
She then shuddered and turned an even brighter red, got off him and walked away with her father who gave Kagura the thumbs up, a wink, a smile and a click of his tongue. He simply gave a light blush and smile as the door shut behind Ichigo. He then turned to his sushi platter which remained cool still because Ochaco also left it behind an ice box to keep it from going bad. He then ate all eighty tasty seafood items and smiled to himself at discovering his newfound reasons to fight.
There you have it, final chapter of this week. Next week should be interesting as I have a ton of content, I would be able to make. And I officially hit two thousand views this story. So, thank you all for viewing this story. I think that I can happily say that next weekend, I can produce The Yokaze Legacy. I have off tomorrow, so I should be able to bang out two chapters for next weekend and update my first story and I finally figured out how I will have time to balance out all three of my works of fiction I'm working on. So what I'll do first, is revise and update EACH and EVERY SINGLE CHAPTER of The Yokaze Legacy into my own new creative image. None of the names will be changed, but there will be slight changes to the story and I will spread out the chapters and as for my second story, it will just be deleted entirely. Because no one has voted and I'm not that proud of the story. Until next time guys.
