It was almost time for the concert. It was a nice little stage with tables and chairs scattered around rather than benches. It was Giran's idea when he discovered that Izuku can change his voice to match almost any pitch. When Izuku was younger he used it to do imitations but now he was going to use it to sing in front of an audience. It seemed like a step up in his opinion. He has a really nice baritone voice when he really tries although he normally has a lighter voice. He invited a lot of people to this. He invited the people that he took to his last concert. He even got Hatsume to come but she was pretty distracted with some little orb she was building. Izuku is almost certain it's a bomb but thats none of his business. This time he invited his victor, mom who invited Mr. Yagi and auntie Mitsuki. Auntie Mitsuki invited Masaru and dragged Katsuki along. Izuku saw kyouka in the crowd along with this blond dude who had a black spot in his hair. It was shaped like a lightning bolt it was pretty cool. He was certain this was gonna go great and… oh my god. Everything was not gonna go great what the hell is Aizawa doing here. Oh he's here with present Mic and Midnight. Are there any other heroes who might recognize him? No it's just those three, they aren't here for him if they were they would have brought more people. Not that any one of them couldn't beat him in a fight he was just slippery. As much as he hates Bakugou he has to thank him for that. Okay this was fine just do the show. Maybe talk with Kyouka and her friend for a little but avoid the heroes at all costs. It should be fine, they've only seen his eyes slitted and they've never seen the bottom half of his face. They've also never seen his ears normally so maybe they won't recognize him. He got Dabi,Toga,and Ruby masks for the raid so they shouldn't be recognized. Oh my god what about Eri. Okay, okay calm down, this is fine it's fine.
"Hey Eri." whispers Izuku.
"Hi." whispers Eri, not sure why they are whispering. The confusion on her face was actually kind of cute.
"Remember those heroes from a couple of days ago." whispers Izuku.
"Yeah." says Eri.
"They're here." says Izuku, "So I need you to pull your beanie over your horn, and if anybody asks You're Dabis daughter." says Izuku.
"Okay." says Eri as she pulls the beanie over her horn.
"Hey, we're gonna be alright." says Izuku.
Eri nods, Izuku likes to think she believed him but he's not quite sure. He feels a lot better with Victor being here, speaking of Victor.
"Hey kid." says Victor.
"Hey big man. Glad you could make it." says Izuku.
"Well I don't really do too much, apart from when I'm with you." says Victor.
"Hey speaking of not doing much what are you doing on Christmas?" asks Izuku.
"Nothing much." says Victor.
"Ya wanna come over?" asks Izuku.
"Sure but are you okay with that?" asks Victor.
"Yeah, the reason I didn't want to hang out was because I don't want people seeing my face but you've already seen it, so we're all good." says Izuku.
"Well in that case. I'd like to stop by." says Victor.
"Sounds great." says Izuku, " I see my mom looking around. I'm gonna go talk to her before I get up there."
"Have fun." says Victor.
Izuku works his way over to the table where mom and all the people she invited were sitting.
"Hi mom." says Izuku as a smile graced his lips.
"Hi, Izuku. I'm so proud of you. You have a crowd. People came all the way here to see you." says Inko.
"It's not that big of a deal. Giran is a good manager he gets the word out pretty fast." says Izuku, "That and I see Present Mic. I think people tend to follow him around if they find out who he is."
"Still it's nice to see." says Inko.
"Yeah, it is… some people I recognize from my last concert." says Izuku.
"What do you mean by last concert?" asks Inko.
"Uh… uhm." says Izuku.
"Have you done this before?" asks Inko.
"... yeah." says Izuku.
"Why didn't you tell me?" asks Inko, while Yagi looked around uncomfortably.
"Well I wanted to have some experience with doing stuff like this before I took you to one of my concerts." says Izuku.
"I understand but you don't have to be embarrassed around me." says Inko.
"It's not that. I just wanted to make it special." says Izuku.
"That's sweet. If you don't mind me asking how many times have you done this before?" asks Inko.
"Just once. It wasn't a full concert either I just sang one song and let the next artist come up. It was like a talent show for local musicians. There was a vote for best performance and I won. That was pretty nice." says Izuku.
"I'm glad you found something that you really enjoy." says Inko before pulling Izuku down and whispering into his ear, "I don't really know if you need to hear this but you really deserve something that makes you happy."
That really threw Izuku for a loop because he actually really did need to hear that. Izuku smiles at her.
"You're a great mother. You really are. You make me happier than anything else in the world. I love my music,my job, and my friends but I'd trade it all for you." Whispers Izuku.
"I'd never ask you to do that." says Inko as joyful tears come to her eyes.
Inko quickly rubs the tears out of her eyes and looks up.
"Oh, Mitsuki's here." says Inko.
"Hey Auntie, hey uncle. Hey there dingus." says Izuku playfully.
"Shut up." says Katsuki.
Izuku smirks at him.
"Hey kiddo." says Mitsuki as she rests her arm on Izuku's shoulder, " I'm glad to see ya doing something. Katsuki's kind of a bum. He doesn't do anything so it's real nice to see my nephew having a job and making music."
"Get a job ya bum." says Izuku.
"Shut up. I'll kill you." says Katsuki.
"Oh he's not really a bum. I'm just messing with him. He is a little shit though." says Mitsuki.
"Nah, he's still a bum." says Izuku.
"Shut up. I'll kill you." says Katsuki.
"Where have I heard that before. Also you couldn't kill me if you tried." says Izuku as he playfully jabs Katsuki because it annoys the hell out of him.
Katsuki throws a jab at Izuku who ducks out of the way and shoots to soft jabs into Katsuki's stomach. This goes on for a minute or so. Izuku doesn't hit hard enough to hurt Katsuki but Katsuki doesn't hit Izuku. He won't use his quirk with Inko so close by. Inko would normally be opposed to Katsuki being around Izuku but she doesn't know exactly what their relationship was just that Katsuki hasn't been the nicest. Izuku was actually having a lot of fun pissing Katsuki off, Izuku knows if Katsuki was actually going for blood he'd get it but Izuku could have his fun if their parents were around.
"Alright Izuku that's enough." says Inko.
Izuku throws his arm around Katsuki's shoulders and puts his weight on him to Katsuki's chagrin.
"Fine. I should probably be getting on stage soon anyways." says Izuku.
Just like Izuku said Giran called him on stage. He sang some of the classic Christmas music and he paired that with slow tunes from his bass guitar, it probably wasn't the best instrument for the job but it went well in his opinion.. Cold outside, No place like home for the holidays, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, White Christmas, Hark the Herald angel king and a couple of others. After the concert he was walking over to Jirou to talk with her when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turns around to see Present Mic. Oh shit.
"Hey little listener. I love your voice." says Mic.
"Hey Present Mic." says Izuku trying not outwardly panic, oh my god Aizawa was looking at him.
"I've been looking for local talent to show up on my podcast. I was wondering if you'd be interested?" says Present Mic.
"I'd be super interested. Uhm you see that guy over there. With the grey hair and the cigar." says Izuku.
"Yeah, why?" asks Present Mic.
"That is my manager. He'd be the guy to talk to." says Izuku.
"Oh okay I'll talk to him and I'll talk to you on the podcast." says Mic.
"See ya around." says Izuku.
Izuku makes his way over to Jirou and her friend. His name is Kaminari. He seems like a super fun guy, maybe not the brightest but with a heart of gold. Izuku spoke with them for a bit. Nothing important just kinda talking.
"Izuku ya ready to leave?" asks Toga.
"Oh yeah sure. Sorry Jirou we'll talk later." says Izuku.
"Sounds good." says Jirou.
Izuku, Toga, Dabi, and Eri make their way to Izuku's car but get stopped by Inko and her friends… and Mr. Yagi. Izuku was real glad he bought masks for the Yakuza raid.
"Izuku who are your friends?" asks Inko.
"This is Toga." says Izuku.
That's Toga." says Inko excitedly, "She's so cute. I'm so happy to meet you."
Toga reaches out for a handshake but gets stopped as Inko hugs her.
"It's nice to meet you too." says Toga although it was a little difficult as Inko was crushing her with her hug.
"This is Dabi. He's my roommate and my best friend." says Izuku.
Inko looks at Dabi and Dabi looks away uncomfortably. Inko hugs Dabi although it was gentler than how she hugged Toga. Dabi didn't expect that. People don't usually touch him.
"Thanks for being my baby's friend." whispers Inko.
"He's a great guy." says Dabi.
"And who's this?" asks Inko, looking at Eri.
Mr. Yagi looks at Eri curiously. Izuku caught on and decided he should say something to get Yagi away before he recognizes her.
"That's Eri. She's Dabi's daughter." says Izuku before whispering, "She's shy and gets scared around new people."
"Okay then we'll leave you alone. I'll see you for Christmas." says Inko.
"Okay see you then." says Izuku.
They were going to celebrate Christmas at Izuku's house. Izuku was a little spooked at the concept of everybody coming over. At least the Bakugo's were celebrating separately. The only people showing up was Victor, Inko, and Mr. Yagi. The latter to Izuku's dismay. Not long before the party Present Mic finished preparations with Giran and tweeted about Izuku going on his podcast. Izuku's christmas album blew up. Izuku doesn't know how Giran did it but Izuku is now on spotify and apple music. This publicity was actually really good for him and Giran. Izuku now had actual money to spend on Christmas gifts. For the food they had venison. Izuku and Victor went to the U.S for a little while through Kurogiri's portal to go deer hunting. Izuku's gift for Toga was a couple of knives he carved out of the antlers. He got Dabi a lot of over the counter pain medication. He didn't get anything for Mr. Yagi. Both Victor and Mom told him not to get them anything. He made them promise not to get him anything in return. They played him like a fiddle and gave him money saying he needs it now more than ever. Izuku might have gone a little overboard when he did this but he bought Eri a computer. Like a nice one. It was mainly for the whole family but Eri gets priority. His thought process is none of them know how to raise a kid so they should keep her distracted and there was nothing bad she could see that she hasn't seen a worse version of in person. After a couple of hours of talking eating everyone finally got out of Izuku's house. He hoped that his little family would like what he got them when they open their gifts. The next morning Izuku woke up at the crack of dawn and found Santa's presents under the tree because he was a santa believer and not a stinky santa denier. The rest of the family wouldn't be awake for a while Izuku decided to go to church. He started going every once in a while after he realized crosses burn him. As long as he's in church and a human again the crosses don't burn him or blind him. He knows a church not too far from where he lived that holds an early service. He started to make his way. He carried a bible in his shirt pocket. As he was on his way he thought he smelt holy water and silver. It's probably nothing. Ow what the hell was that? Why does he have an arrow in his shoulder. He runs into an alleyway.
"Hey." Izuku calls.
"..."
"You're a hunter right? Like you know what I am?" asks Izuku.
"...I do." responds a female voice.
"Ya wanna wait till after Christmas to do this?" asks Izuku.
"The lord doesn't take time off. Neither will I." responds the vampire hunter.
It seems even on Christmas Izuku can't catch a break.
Authors Note
Happy New Years Everybody. Best of luck to ya'll in 2020. I plan on doing a new Years chapter. Although it's probably gonna come out later this month. I'd do it sooner but it has importance in the story, and there are a couple of things that need to happen between then and now. Also what do you think about the vampire hunter? I think It's a cool idea. She might just show up for this fight or she might show up more later. I feel like I could have made the concert a little more tense. Like having Inko or Mr. Yagi say Dabi or Eri look familiar. I'm not gonna go back and rewrite it though. Anyways the next chapter is going to be Izuku fighting the vampire hunter. Also what do ya'll think of Izuku going on Present Mics podcast and just tearing into heroes while Mic laughs in the corner because he knows some of the guys Izuku is making fun of.
Lightning Blade 49: Eri wins player of the year for the amazing save. Also I loved writing Izuku and All For One. Cause Izuku is being such an ass and All For One just loves it because literally everyone he meets is scared as hell. This includes Izuku, he just acts boldly and uses insults as a mask for his fear. All For One might have caught on to Izuku being scared of him but if he did he would not say anything.
Zeidoo 617: I know you said you are still on chapter nine but I'm sure you'll find this eventually. You are right about Vampirism not being a quirk. In this story the law applies to any sort of super power quirk or not. Even if the law only covered quirks just saying, "I'm a vampire." probably won't hold up in court for several reasons. Thanks for bringing this to my attention and giving me a reason to address it.
Amadeus Amadeus: You're right about those not fitting Izuku's character. I don't want Izuku to be a bad person. At worst I'd like to see him slowly slip into a grey moral area where it's hard to say if he's good or not. You're also right about him not killing on a whim. The only person he's ever truly meant to kill was Overhaul when he slashed at his throat. Also I was thinking I'd have Izuku go to hell during the tail end of the purge so he would see the angels cleaning out and almost get killed by one. I like the idea of a non canon chapter where Izuku turned evil after the transformation. I probably won't write that but it is fun to think about. Izuku could try to rehabilitate vlad that would actually be a pretty good idea for a chapter. Before Vlad died he tried to be a good person, he really did. He just committed too many sins beforehand. The thing that changed him was meeting and taking care of Ruby. She said she was nineteen when she met vlad but that was a lie, she was younger. I think I heard somewhere that Count Dracula's body count was over forty thousand. I'm wondering how Izuku would react to hearing that. Not just because he was told vlad was a super kind and caring person, but because forty thousand is a massive body count. That's not including the people who serve him. His body count was just forty thousand. Also imagine Izuku going to heaven, taking a quick look around and saying, "It is nice as hell up here." And everyone just kind of looks at him because of the absolute shit he just started spewing.
