'So this is it?' thinks Midoriya , ' this is death. I don't seem to be in heaven or hell. Maybe I'm in Purgatory. This isn't so bad. It's peaceful. I wish I could see something. Anything really this is just pitch black. It's a little boring. I always imagined Purgatory as an infinite field of flowing white or maybe silver grass. So what do I do to pass the time before I go to heaven. Gosh I hope I don't go to hell. My life was already painful I don't think I could handle a similar afterlife without losing my mind. Oh, I know. I should try to reflect on my life then Maybe I can go to heaven.'
Ten Years ago
Izuku and Inko Midoriya were waiting for the test results to see what Izuku's quirk would be. Izuku was so excited and happy at the prospect of getting a quirk. He didn't know it at the time but that happiness wasn't going to last much longer. The Midoriya's walked into the office after being called only for their hopes to be dashed by the words Izuku never even dreamed of hearing.
"Sorry kid. It's not going to happen." says the Doctor.
In the back of Izuku's four year old mind he knew he should have kept paying attention to his doctor, but how could he? He didn't have a quirk.
'Why won't I get my quirk? Everybody I know has a quirk. Why does everyone get one except for me.' thinks Izuku
Later Izuku would realize that the worst part about not having a quirk was lacking power but how people reacted to his lack of quirk. It was like a persons quirk was their defining feature. It was like it indicated their worth. Without a quirk he was seen as worthless. His parents seemed to believe he was worth something. Unfortunately for him he eventually heard what his father really thought about him during one of his parents numerous arguments most of which he was at the Bakugou house for. As luck would have it Izuku was at home for this argument. He still remembers every single word so vividly. He remembered his father's anger but more importantly he heard how angry mom got when the idea of giving him away came up. For years after he uses this memory to make himself feel important to someone even if it's only one person. In Izuku's opinion she's worth far more than one person. The argument happened roughly a two weeks after Izuku was informed of his quirkless status. During those two weeks his father was cruel to him even going as far as harming the boy, his boy, and not feeling sorry in the slightest.
Midoriya was in his room playing with his All Might figures when the conversation in the other side of the house became loud and heated enough for him to hear.
"I don't want to keep the little shit. He doesn't have a fucking quirk. Why can't you see he's fucking worthless." shouts Hisashi.
"Don't you dare talk about our son in that way." screeches Inko in defense of her baby.
"Inko I refuse to call that freak my child." Hisashi calls out.
"Well he is your child. You're going to have to get used to it and raise him with me." Shouts Inko
"I'm gonna try to put this in a way easier for you to understand. It's him or me. Which do you prefer." asks Hisashi.
At this point Izuku had left his room to hear their conversation better. He didn't know why but something made him hesitant to show himself so he chose to stay hidden.
"I'm sorry Hisashi, but if that's the way you feel you need to pack your bags." says Inko.
Hisashi stares at his soon to be ex wife in shock before his face contorts into a look of rage, " You bitch. You're actually gonna pick that worthless little shit over me?"
"Thats out boy Hisashi." says Inko
"No… there is no fucking way I made that quirkless freak." says Hisashi.
"Don't talk about our boy that way!" declares Inko angrily.
"That's not my fucking kid. Who the hell did you cheat on my with you dirty bitch." asks Hisahi
"How dare you. I'm a good person unlike you." says Inko
"Well you know what fuck you and your dumbfuck bastard child. If the two of you shits want me gone so damn bad, I'm fucking leaving." shouts Hisashi before walking out the front door slamming it on his way out.
Midoriya didn't know it at the time but that wasn't going to be the only person to turn his back on him. He also didn't know how often he would be hearing some variations of that man's cruel words. One thing he did know that stands true to this day is that his mother will always love him with or without a quirk. The next betrayal would be committed by his childhood friend who would take the whole school with him. It happened not long after his father left. Izuku looks back on it and wishes he saw it coming. The more he thinks about it the more signs their are. It took place not long after his father left him and his mother.
"Kachan, please stop you're hurting him." shouts a four year old Izuku trying to defend his classmate.
"You're really trying to play hero? You can't be a hero you're quirkless." says Bakugou
"If you don't stop I'll stop you myself." says Izuku despite how scared he really is.
"I think we have to teach Deku his place." Bakugou says to his lackies before the beat Izuku up.
This wasn't the last time Izuku would get beaten by his classmates. It was only the beginning of his personal hell. Day after day he would get hurt by his classmates wishing only to be friends or at the very least to be helpful in some way. For ten long and painful years Izuku would go through physical abuse at the hands of his classmates. He could take the physical abuse it was the verbal abuse that got to him. It dug its claws in and refused to let go of his mind. He grew up being told he was worthless and despite trying for so long he was starting to believe them.
'If you wanna be a hero so bad pray you get a quirk in your next life and take a swan dive off a roof' echoes through Izuku's mind, 'Maybe he was right. Maybe I should have killed myself, but I guess the outcome was the same. Maybe he was right about reincarnation. If I'm lucky I will wake up with powers of my own.'
With Inko
When Inko heard about what had happened to her baby boy she was shocked, confused, but most of all she was terrified. As any mother should be if their child nearly dies. Inko didn't care about what was happening in the rest of the world all she needed to do was see her baby. She got to the hospital with a speed that would put All Might to shame and demanded to see her baby. When she got to see him he looked so pale she would have thought he was dead if it weren't for the nurses doctors reassurance that her boy was still alive. She was told he was in a coma and should wake up within a month. So she waited day after day until a week passed.
'I should have never disregarded his dreams like that. If he died I would have never got the chance to apologize to him for what I said that day.' thinks Inko.
Ten Years Ago
Inko and Izuku got back from the quirk specialist and Hisashi was out at work. Inko could tell her boy was crushed but she didn't know what to say. She decided to pull up a video that always put a smile on his face. It was a video of all Might's debut. Inko thought it was scary but Izuku loved it. She expected to see his brilliant smile return to his face but was instead met with more tears.
"Mom, He's such a cool hero. He always keeps smiling even when it's hard. Do you think I could be a hero too?" asks Izuku
Inko felt something in her heart break when she saw his face. Her boy shouldn't have that expression on his face. He should be smiling and laughing like he deserves but instead her he is crying. Inko didn't know what to say. What could she say? The only thing that come to mind through the internal turmoil she was dealing with was three words.
"I'm so sorry." Inko wails before embracing Izuku in a loving and apologetic embrace.
She regretted what she said to him for years after. She couldn't bring herself to talk about it. She was scared. Scared of seeing that pain in his eyes again. She felt like a coward, like she was too scared to properly raise her own child. Unbeknownst to her Izuku still and always will believe that he has the greatest mother in the world and nothing including All Might himself would ever begin to change that.
Back to present
'As soon as he wakes up I'm going to hug him and apologize for everything.' thinks Inko
Inko wouldn't know until several minutes later but her boys awakening was sooner than she imagined. After making sure she was ready to talk whenever he woke up she began to patiently wait by his bedside as he has been doing for the past week. She heard a low groan come from her boy. All she could do was stare at her boy with her eyes widened from shock. Izuku opened his eyes and glance around a little bit before making eye contact with his mom.
"Mom?" Izuku says questioningly.
"MY BABY BOY. I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE OKAY." Inko shouts.
"Mom I'm alive." says Izuku while looking shocked, " How am I alive?" asks Izuku
"If you'd like I can answer all your questions while doing my checkup." says A slightly familiar voice.
Izuku turns his head with some irritation and a slight crackling in his neck to see the woman who promised to keep him alive and give him powers.
"It's you." says Izuku with a surprised tone of voice.
"Izuku do you know her?" asks Inko
"I was nearby when the villain attacked I got him to the hospital." says the woman.
"Oh, thank you so much. I don't think I could repay you for saving my baby boy." says Inko
"There is no need to pay me. It is my job after all." jokes the woman.
"Well thank you anyways." says Inko
"As much as I would love to talk more I need to make sure your boy is recovering fully." says the woman.
"Then I'll give you some room to work and be back in a couple of minutes." says Inko before stepping out of the room.
"Alright Mr. Midoriya I'm sure you have lots of questions about what I told you when we first met. So ask Away." says the woman.
"W-Well I'd like t-to know your name." says Izuku
"My name is Ruby Rhodonite, but you can call me Ruby. Both my first and last name are shared with gemstones. Anything else? " says Ruby.
"How long have I been asleep?" asks Izuku
"You've been asleep for a week." says Ruby
"A WEEK!" shouts Izuku
"I understand this is surprising but please try to keep it down we are in a hospital." says Ruby
"Right. Sorry. What did you mean about giving me the power to be a hero?" asks Izuku
"Well, this is where the explanations get harder. Do you know what a vampire is?" asks Ruby.
"Like the bat?" questions Izuku.
"People are so obsessed with quirks they completely forget all about us vampires." says Ruby indignantly.
"I'm sorry but could you please explain what a vampire is." requests Izuku.
"Oh right. A vampire is an undead being with some form of powers that differ from vampire to vampire. My powers are mental and let me move things with my mind along with messing with other people's heads. The only real downside to being a vampire is we have to drink human blood exclusively." Explains Ruby.
"But what does this have to do with me?" asks Izuku.
"You're a vampire now." states Ruby
"I'm a vampire?" asks Izuku.
"Yup." says Ruby
"What kind of powers will I get?" questions Izuku.
"You're guess is as good as mine. We'll find out when you first use them." says Ruby causing Izuku to deflate a little.
"Wait… am I gonna have to drink human blood?" asks Izuku.
"Yeah we do. It's why I chose to work at a hospital I get to take some blood. I probably could have done the same in the hero industry, but that's too much work." explains Ruby.
"I can't drink human blood I was just a human a week ago." says Izuku.
" You can try to fight it but the bloodlust will move your body eventually. I recommend finding something that gets you blood without getting you trouble." says Ruby.
"I don't have a choice? How am I supposed to become a hero like this?" asks Izuku
"You could just take blood from villains." says Ruby.
"How am I supposed to not take blood between now and the time I'm a hero?" asks Izuku.
"Well you could become a vigilante." says Ruby
"I can't do that it's illegal." says Izuku.
"Okay fine. But it's gonna catch up to you eventually." says Ruby.
"Well I'm gonna fight it for as long as I can." says Izuku.
"It's harder than you would think but from what I've seen about your determination, you just might be able to fight it for a while. Any more questions?" says Ruby.
"When do I get to leave the hospital?" asks Midoriya.
"You should be able to leave after I finish my check up." says Ruby.
"Okay." says Izuku excited to go home because despite the fact he hasn't been awake very long he already feels like he wants to curl up in his bed and sleep the stress away.
"Oh. I should give you my number in case you have anymore questions about being a vampire." says Ruby.
"I normally do have lots of questions. I guess I'm just tired right now." says Izuku
"That makes sense the transformation process is very tiring but you should have retractable fangs and claws now." says Ruby.
"I should test those later, but I'm too tired now." Izuku says with a yawn.
"Then I should get to work on my check up and send you on your way." says Ruby.
After the check up Izuku and Inko were leaving the hospital. Izuku didn't think he would be able to stay awake for the entire ride back. He was right. The last thing he remembers before falling asleep was looking up to the full moon shining brightly in the darkness around it. Before Izuku knew it he was being woke up by his mother so that they could go up to their apartment. Izuku groggily got out of the car and up the stairs to the apartment. Izuku wanted to go straight to bed but Inko told him to shower first. Knowing that he put his mother through unbelievable stress quit recently he decided to oblige her. Izuku ran the water for his shower but when he stuck his hand in to check the temperature he felt a burning sensation that traveled up his hole arm. He looked down at his hand to see some skin had been burnt away despite the water being cold. He didn't know what it meant so he decided to ask Ruby.
"Hey it's me Izuku Midoriya I wanted to know if I might have any reactions to touching water?" asks Izuku.
Her response was nearly immediate, " Don't touch running water. If you want to clean yourself you need to take a bath not a shower." texts Ruby.
Izuku took her advice and found no pain in the water. He was finally able to relax. Or so he thought. He felt hungry and he remembered what Ruby said about drinking blood. He tried to walk back to his room but was stopped by Inko.
"Hey Izuku." says Inko
Izuku had never felt an urge as strong as the one he was currently trying to fight off.
"Hey Mom." Izuku says struggling to speak without turning teeth to fangs and doing something he would never forgive himself for.
Inko seems to notice his difficulty talking before saying, " You seem tired you should get some sleep and we can talk in the morning.
"Yeah, I'm feeling pretty tired. I'll see you tomorrow." says Izuku before heading to his room and lying down.
'What the hell was that? Is that what I'm gonna have to deal with' thinks Izuku.
'You could just be a vigilante' flashes through his head
'...I thought I shouldn't but If I don't I might hurt someone innocent. I won't make up my mind yet, but I really should consider what she said along with my other options. Which I don't seem to have much of.' thinks Izuku.
Izuku tried to sleep but he had trouble. When he finally got to sleep his brain forced images of him losing control to his bloodlust around his mother. He only knew one thing about what he was going to do next, and it wasn't get any sleep.
AUTHORS NOTE
So I plan on trying to put lots of emphasis on izuku's blood lust. I also plan on having Izuku's powers be strength, speed and regeneration. The normal vampire powers. I think he was too strong in my first fanfiction. I plan on making this a little bit dark. I rated it M for Murder. When I make Izuku a vigilante I am thinking of having him meet Eraserhead and Stain. I am also thinking of having Izuku gather a team of people like stain, dabi, toga, and the vigilantes from the vigilantes manga to attack overhaul and save Eri. I want to know if you guys think that is a good idea or a bad one. I want to set the time back a little bit so that I can have Izuku spend more time dealing with his new body, build his reputation and skills as a vigilante, and spend more time with Eri before he starts attending U.A. I'm gonna start responding to comments now.
Guest: I read blood butterfly and it is the reason I wanted to rewrite the story with more emphasis on the vampire transformation.
Atomicdragon59: You brought up a good idea with Eri making Izuku feel human again and I now plan on using it. For Izuku and Bakugou's relationship I want Izuku to be livid with Bakugou. I think their dialogue would go like this
"Shut up Deku, I'll kill you."
Izuku leans into his ear before saying, " You already have."
I did plan on All Might feeling horrible about what happened to Midoriya but I also want Midoriya to be pissed at All Might for what he told him. Also the thought of Inko watching her baby get killed by a villain on live television didn't occur to me and I might put it in nightmare and have Izuku comfort her.
Amadeus Amadeus: Thanks for the support and I while try to keep your advice in mind while I write.
Ken-TheReader and 150: I'm gonna have Izuku save Eri early and nothing is gonna change my mind.
RaudomGny: Thanks for the words of encouragement. I may have explained this poorly but I intend for Izuku to join U.A. with the start of the year like everyone else. Sorry for the poor explination.
