Toshinori had his arm wrapped his arm around Inko as he gazed up at the ceiling of his bedroom. He couldn't believe that he and Inko… God, he swore that if he had a heartbeat, that it would be trying to leap out of his chest right about now.

Turning his blue eyes onto the green haired woman, he saw that her eyes were closed as she slept peacefully. He couldn't help but allow his gaze to soften as he stared at her. Inko sighed softly in her sleep as she nuzzled against his side. Reaching over with his free hand, the man brushed a stray strand of her hair behind her ear before kissing her forehead.

"I love you." He whispered softly before he turned his eyes back up at the ceiling. What was he to expect now? Inko and he were… together right? After that kind of night, he had expected that she would have cried out in pain for him to stop…

Not the other way around.

Shaking his head, Toshinori got a good look at his arm and saw that his body had pretty much filled out to its proper healthy state and for that he was thankful. Yet, he never knew that drinking Inko's blood would have made him feel whole again. Letting out a soft sigh, he turned his eyes to her and smiled gently once again. He knew that this was something that he could never take for granted. There was no way that he would never lose that feeling, a feeling that there was someone in this world that loved him.

Yet, he knew that there had been another and for that, he felt as if he had taken it for granted even though he had done all he could to make their future a possibility. Yet, it was all in vain as he had failed and was turned with no memory of who he was.

"Toshi?"

"Oh, did I wake you Inko?"

"No, I don't know but I felt as if you were… sad." Toshinori frowned a little at that. That was the first time he's ever said anything such as that before. So that was new for him, then again everyone that he's ever fed from in the past never knew what happened so he never suspected a thing. Maybe because he had drank from Inko, and the fact that they uh… had feelings for each other, she could sense him and he could… sense her maybe? He had no idea, and it confused him.

"I'm fine my dear." Toshinori said with a soft sigh before kissing her forehead.

"May I ask you something? I mean, if you don't mind me asking questions regarding to you being a vampire?" Inko asked with a frown on her face.

"Go ahead, I had a feeling that you'd want to ask me something."

"Soooo, do vampires sparkle in the sunlight? Like in that movie?"

Toshinori slapped his forehead and groaned. Inko just blinked innocently at him before he turned his gaze to the ceiling. "That movie brought nothing but shame to vampires. No, we don't 'sparkle' in the sunlight. I don't know why such a thing was created in the first place. I just burn in the sunlight unless I've fed. Feeding brings up my strength to tolerate the sun. Less blood, less resistance to it."

"Do you sleep?"

"No, we don't need sleep. Can easily keep going all day every day."

"Can you turn into a bat?"

"No."

"What about a stake to the heart?"

"That'd kill anyone."

"Oh, what about entering with the owner's permission?"

"Nope. Remember, I was able to go into your building without permission and you didn't own the building remember?"

"True, um what about any magical powers? Such as hypnotising people?"

"False, no idea how that was brought up either. Vampires don't have any kind of special powers."

"What about that transformation you did?"

"That was part of my quirk, I had it before I was turned."

"Turned…" Inko whispered softly, causing Toshinori to look at her with confusion reflecting in his blue eyes. He was rather confused as to what could be going on in her head. There had to be something troubling her about his turning that much he could figure out even without the emotions that they could share between the other.

"Inko?" He asked in a whisper.

"What happened to you? All those years ago? What happened to you to have made you turn in the first place? Is it all connected to the museum and why you acted the way you did?" asked Inko.

He sighed softly, knowing very well that she was going to want to know the story, and he knew that this was going to be a long story for sure. One that he knew would take all of his emotional will power to get by. "Well, it does yes. I was your ancestors guard. Assigned to her by the last guard who had retired." Toshinori explained which only made Inko frown a little more.

"Toshi, is there something else that you aren't telling me?"

He looked down at her for a moment, her eyes shining with confusion yet also curiosity. He let out a soft sigh, he knew those eyes better than anyone in the world. It was the same look that her ancestor would give him when she wanted something from him and of course, it would always work. Thinking about her made his heart hurt and it seemed to show on Inko's face before he let out a soft sigh. There was really no use in hiding this from her right now was there? He didn't want any kind of secrets to be hidden from her. Not about him and what was between himself and her of all people.

"I was in love with your ancestor, as she was with me. We were so madly, deeply in love that it was a crime in and of itself." Toshinori whispered, causing her to gasp as she stared at him in shock and a little bit of hurt reflected on her face. "Before you ask, I am not with you because you resemble her so. No, far from it Inko. I had no idea what she looked like when I met you, for I had no memory of who I was as a human after I was turned. The song you sang, was the trigger for me, and then seeing everything at the exhibit reminded me of who I was, and who I had loved but it didn't bring on what I had already felt Inko. I already loved you."

"Toshi."

"No, I'm serious Inko, I already loved you even before I remembered." He sighed softly before he gently rubbed her cheek with the pad of his thumb. "No matter what, my love for you is true. If I have to spend the rest of eternity to prove it to you then so be it." He whispered softly.

Inko nodded her head before letting out a soft sigh. "How did you two meet Toshi? And… how were you turned? Will you tell me?" asked Inko with a frown.

"Alright, it began when I was fourteen years old…"

A young boy sat by the outskirts of the village. His blonde hair covered in mud and dirt, body terribly thin and frail looking. His blue eyes, once full of life had dulled from hunger and thirst. Having just lost his family to an attack while he was out collecting firewood to warm their home for the upcoming cold season.

He had wondered, why he was spared. Why had he been spared by such a fate? He should have been joining his mother, his father, and his twin sister and yet, here he was. Still alive and just barely living at this point. Blinking slowly, he groaned as he curled up around himself. Fourteen years of age and yet he was going to die of starvation before he could truly do anything with his life.

Whimpering, the young boy wrapped his arms around his stomach hoping that would dull the ache. He had wanted to do so much in his life, yet he wasn't able to do so. Looking up, he wondered if he would die here, or if he would find something to do with his life before he starved to death.

Shaking his head, blonde locks flying away as he managed to push himself up until he heard a soft screaming echoing through the forest. Tilting his head, the young boy squinted his eyes as he saw a young girl running out from the trees. Her dress was torn and ripped it seemed. Yet what the young boy saw was what made his blood freeze in his veins.

The young girl was being chased by two thugs. Narrowing his eyes, he grabbed his axe and rushed forward. "Get behind me!" shouted the blonde boy as he rushed forward with speed that he shouldn't have with his weakened body. The girl managed to get past him, and the blonde boy swung his axe managing to hit one in the leg. Yet, the other kicked him in the head causing the boy to yelp out in shock and pain.

Rolling on the ground, he groaned before lifting his head and glared at them with so much hate in his blue eyes. "Look at this, a quirkless boy." One of the thugs said as he made his nails grow and sharpen. Toshinori snarled before pushing himself up and went to swing again. Only for the thug with long nails to slash at his chest.

Screaming out in pain he rolled on the ground as he held onto his bleeding chest.

"Don't die!" The girl cried out, he saw her looking down at him from above and he couldn't help but blink as he thought that he saw an angel. Shaking his head, the boy pushed himself back up, lifting the axe as he narrowed his eyes at the men. Finding renewed strength within himself as he pushed himself forward with purpose.

The thugs stared at the boy with wide eyes yet didn't back off. "I won't let you hurt her." Snarled the boy as he rushed forward with a battle cry. Swinging the axe at the one man, who tried to dodge but he saw that coming. Twisting his body around, the boy swung the axe again and managed to land a hit to his back.

The man cried out in pain as he tried to push himself back up, but the boy just slammed his foot down on the wound as he shouted "Stay down!" Turning his head, he went to attack the other man, only to yelp as something shot out of the ground, causing the boy to look down only to scream as he was thrown away from him by powerful thick vines.

Hitting a tree, the boy groaned as he tried to focus on his surroundings yet it seemed that nothing was coming into focus. The girl, she cried out for him and tried to rush to him but couldn't get past. No! Looking around, he saw his father's metal boomerang. He remembered his father practicing this to make it easier for hunting. He had taught the boy how to use it so it may come in handy. At least, he hoped that he would manage a good hit in.

Swinging it, the young boy watched as the steel weapon flew into the air, spinning around as it seemed to glide and cut through the air. Before the vines could even reach the girl, they had managed to slice through the vines causing the man to cry out in pain. The young boy couldn't help but smirk a little, knowing that he landed a good hit in. Yet, he knew that he didn't have much strength remaining but, he couldn't let the girl be captured or worse, killed.

The thug glared at the blonde boy as he said "You little brat! I'll have to settle for killing you!" He snarled as he started to walk on toward the boy. Yet, the girl threw herself at the thug, trying to get him to stop in his tracks but, was easily tossed aside. "You stay there girlie, you still are of use to us." He said with a smirk before making his way over to the blonde boy. "How should I kill a quirkless brat like you?" He mumbled, still walking toward the blonde.

He had nothing to defend himself with. His body wouldn't move, he couldn't get away! Couldn't fight anymore and now he was going to die! He failed himself, he failed the honor of his family but most importantly, he failed the girl above all else.

The thug smirked as he got ready to give the killing blow, until something zipped by punching the thug square in the jaw.

Blue eyes widening, the blonde couldn't help but look up and saw a tall muscular woman with black hair that reached her shoulders. She had two locks pulled back in what would be assumed as a spiky bun for the most part. Her skin was pale, and from what he could make out of her, she had dark eyes and a beauty spot at the corner of her mouth.

Who was she?

"Don't worry, everything will be okay." The woman said with a big smile on her face. Toshinori wasn't sure why, but, he felt a little better seeing such a happy smile. Before he knew what else happened, everything went dark.

Groaning, the boy opened his eyes as he looked around. He frowned as he saw that he wasn't in his hut, or even outside for that matter. In fact, he was in a room that was far too fancy to be his home. He tried to sit up only to gasp out in pain and lay back down, tears of pain appeared at the edges of his eyes. "Where am I?" He asked, not really expecting an answer of any kind.

"You are in the Manor of the Midoriya Clan." Said a voice, he knew that voice.

Turning his blue eyes over, he saw the woman who had come and saved him. Eyes widening, he tried to get up but the woman held up a gloved hand to stop him. She wore a simple sleeveless kimono that was opened around her legs to give her free movement. She had a sword that rested at her side and he couldn't help but wonder why she didn't use it. Unless she had while he had blacked out. "The princess told me how you tried to save her and, well, when we brought you back here for treatment I was rather surprised that you fought while so malnourished and weak."

He looked away, feeling blood rushing to his face as he tried to think on what he could say- wait! Princess?! "Princess?!"

"Ah you didn't know?" asked the woman with a tilt of her head.

Shaking his head, the woman laughed a little awkwardly as she said "Oh, a few of the other guards thought you did it because she was the princess." The boy shook his head again at that. "Anyway, we have treated your injuries but we could only do so much since you didn't have much energy in your body. Anyway, I have been rude, I haven't introduced myself at all! I'm Shimura Nana. What about you?"

"I'm Yagi Toshinori."

"Interesting name for sure kid. Where are your parents? We didn't find anyone at that hut other than you…"

"They… they died over a year ago. It's just been me, I've been fine for the most part but then, I've had no luck in getting food." Toshinori answered honestly, a frown marring the other woman's face. "I honestly thought I was gonna die from starvation. Um… may I ask, is the princess okay?"

"She's fine. Has a few minor scrapes and cuts but alright. She's been wanting to see you for a while now but we told her that she couldn't come in until you woke up." Getting up, Nana looked at the boy as she said "After your visit with the princess, I want to ask you a very important question alright?" Toshinori nodded at that before he watched the raven haired woman walk out.

Toshinori sighed softly as he gazed at the ceiling, rather curious as to what had happened after he had blacked out. It had him rather curious as to what had happened to him all that time ago, but he also wondered how long he had been asleep for.

Sighing softly, the young boy groaned as he lifted his arm and placed it onto the wrappings around his chest. He knew that this would most likely scar but that was a small price to pay for saving someone. Though, he also wondered if maybe he could repay the princess in some way but, what could he do?

"Hello?" came a soft voice, causing Toshinori to turn his head and blink as he stared at the princess. She wore an elegant kimono that was a white background with a black branch that had pink cherry blossoms dancing in the breeze. Looking up at her, he saw long green hair with two locks pulled back in a bun that had a hair piece clipped into it. Showing her royal status. Her green eyes found his blue ones and just seemed to stare at the other.

Toshinori felt his heart flutter in his heart as he gazed at the princess. Thinking that she was the most beautiful person he has ever laid eyes on. Gulping a bit, he said "Uh… hello! I'm a princess and your Yagi Toshinori… I mean!"

The princess giggled a little as she walked over to the mat and knelt next to the man and gave him a soft smile. "Thank you for saving me. I wished I could have thanked you sooner but you were out when Nana was able to stop the thug from killing you." She whispered, reaching out and ran her fingers through his hair before pulling her hand back. "I'm sorry, that is rather improper." She looked away, a soft blush growing on her face as she said "I should introduce myself. I am Midoriya Inko. I'm the princess of these lands and… um… I want to thank you."

"You're welcome Midoriya-Hime." Toshinori whispered softly.

"No, no formalities. Please, call me Inko." She said with a smile on her face.

"Then you can call me Toshinori." He said with a smile on his face.

Inko smiled a little before looking away, a frown appearing on her face. "I'm sorry that I couldn't get them to heal you properly, but you should know that our healer made sure that they won't scar." She said, a faint blush was on her face as she looked at the boy, her eyes filling with tears as she gazed at the blonde's blue eyes.

"I… I didn't mean to make you cry."

"It's okay, I'm a rather sensitive girl." Inko said with a small smile before wiping at her eyes with her sleeve. "Anyway, I'll let you rest. I think Nana wanted to ask you something important." Inko said before pushing herself up and started to walk out of the door, only to pause a little as she looked back. "I… I hope to see you again. Your special, I know you are." Inko said with a smile before walking out of the room before shutting the sliding door on her way out.

Toshinori couldn't help but frown as he looked back at the princess. He wanted to see her again. His heart beating so quickly within his chest that he never knew what he was to feel, what he felt for the princess but he knew… that he wanted to be around her. Wanted to be near her and be around her warm happy personality.

A soft blush crept its way up his neck and into his cheeks once again before he looked up at the ceiling in confusion. "What am I to do?" He asked.

"You could be a guard." Came a voice, causing Toshinori to yelp and look over in shock. "Sorry, didn't mean to frighten you." Nana said with a laugh before walking into the room, shutting the door. God, how many people were gonna keep coming in his room? It was rather annoying but, he let it slide for Inko for the most part. "Anyway, I know what you did out there for the princess."

"What?"

"I was watching, I knew when to jump in before it got out of hand." Nana said with a soft sigh.

"Why didn't you come out sooner?!" shouted Toshinori.

"Because, I saw something special in you. You were willing to risk your life for someone you didn't know. Even while you were so weak from lack of food, I was rather impressed with your resourcefulness in order to keep fighting to protect the princess." Nana said with a soft smile on her face. Toshinori frowned as he tilted his head at her a little bit confused as to where she was going with this. "You have nowhere to go, right?" Toshinori nodded at that. "Then stay, allow me to train you to be a proper guard for the princess. I want you to succeed me when it is time for me to retire as the guard."

"But, how can I fight? I have no quirk."

"I can give you mine."

"What?" Toshinori said with shock filling his eyes as he gazed at the raven haired woman. "How can you give me a quirk?" He asked in shock.

"My quirk, it is a special one at that. It is something that can be passed onto one user to the next. It is a quirk that gets stronger and stronger as it is passed on. It has only been given to the guards as the guards protect the royal line of the Midoriya line and now, it is time that I give it onto the next user." Nana explained as he stared at the woman with wide eyes. It was possible for him to have a quirk? Possible for him to even have such a thing as his entire family were seen as outcasts because they had no quirk.

No kind of power to even speak from. Seen as people who had no purpose, no honor just because they had no quirk. Now, here he was. Being given a chance to have a meaning in his life and now, he was going to make sure that he'll never let this woman down. "I'll do it." He said with a smile on his face.

"Good, we'll begin once you've healed. But remember, it won't be easy, we'll have to train your body first before I give it to you or else you'll be torn to pieces by the sheer raw power of it." Nana said with a smile on her face.

"May I ask, what is the quirk called?"

"It is called, One For All."
