So now it's the big day for Issei and Izuku to meet again. And to know their crazy and wacky childhoods. At least the the small tid bit I shown. I do hope I do all of you proud with this chapter.
Hope you guys like it.
The week came and went as it was the day for the two friends to meet again. Inko called her husband, Hisahi, who managed to give them the funds. Sure, Inko does work, but it does help to remind her that her husband is looking out for her and their son.
As for Izuku, he is happy and worry for meeting Issei.
A friend that isn't going to be mean to him like Katsuki, his childhood friend.
Just someone who happens to be a pervert. Hope this doesn't bite him in the ass.
In the future, he will have a classmate that is as bad as Issei.
Inko managed to get the directions for to Kuoh City. The two were getting dressed and ready to go. She called the Bakugos if they wanted to go, though due to a shopping that they needed, Mitsuki said they couldn't go with her and Izuku. So it was just those two going then.
"Ready, dear?" Inko asked her son.
"Hold on, give me a moment," Izuku said as he made sure he was looking good. "Okay, ready, mom."
"That's good to hear, sweetie," she said as they walked out the apartment and locked the door. "Time to catch us a train."
The two made their way down the lobby and left the building. They continued to walk to the train station. From there, Inko ordered two tickets to Kuoh City. Which the conductor oblige, taking the fee and giving them the round trip tickets to them.
"You have a good day, ma'am," the conductor said to the mother and son.
"Yes sir," they replied back.
The two entered the train and began their trip to Kuoh now.
"Issei, are you ready?" Gorou asked to his son.
"I'm here and have the laptop ready," Issei said. "See, here it is." He said as he showed his laptop. Minus the lewd and ecchi wallpaper, he does have the emulators and games.
"Ah, the classics," Miki said with a small smile. Mostly at the names of the folders from the Super Famicom.
"And the controllers? Must be awkward with the keyboard," his father asked.
"Don't sweet it sinceI have these," Issei said as he pulled out both a PS4 controller and, surprisingly, an Xbox 360 wired controller. "I experiment on using these babies throughout the week and got the mapping down." He looked at the 360 controller in interest. "Still weird that this was cheap."
"Well they don't do well here," his mother chimed in.
"True, until Sony temes with their censorship hit Senran Kagura," Issei growled. That they do not blame Issei as while the games are ecchi, the fact that Sony, a Japanese company, would demanded its censorship, is absurd.
"True," his dad said. "Temes forgot their origins."
"Now, boys, no need to be rude now," Miki said, reassuring the two.
"Yes, mom/sweetie," the males sighed as they knew it was true.
They all soon heard the bell ring as the got up and were ready. They all made last minutes checkups before going to the door together and opening the door. Upon opening it, they saw a pair of a mother and son. The son was almost the same age as their own son. While the mother also had green hair as her boy, though she is a bit more plumb.
"Hello, is this the Hyoudou residence?" Inko asked.
"Yes, this is the place," Gorou said. "My name is Gorou Hyoudou."
"And I am his wife, Miki," his wife interjected with a smile. "And I believe you meet our son, Issei."
"Nice to meet you again, Midoriya-san," Issei bowed respectively to the guest.
"It's nice seeing you again, Issei," Inko said, smiling. "Thank you for your generosities." She motioned to herself and Izuku. "My name is Inko Midoriya, and this is my son, Izuku Midoriya."
"H-hello there, it's nice to meet you," Izuku said, feeling nervous still.
"Nice to finally meet you, Izuku," Gorou said as they welcome the two in.
"Come on in," Miki chimed in. "I can't wait to meet the friend to that perverted son of mine." Now it was Issei's turn to blush.
"MOM!" the brunette teen blurted out.
Inko giggled as she can learn a thing from her. Once they entered, they all went to the kitchen as they had a small drink and appetizers to eat. Something that Miki is very skilled cooking for them.
"Mhmm! This meatballs is very good!" Inko said, enjoying the meatballs that Miki cooked.
"That's my wife!" Gorou cheered as his wife blushed.
"Ah~, sweetie, you're embarrassing me," she bashfully said.
Everyone talked for a bit, mostly to getting to know each other. Which included Issei being a pervert, though a bit of a tech wizard. Izuku being a hero nerd. Inko being a part time nurse. Miki being a stay at home mom. Along with Gorou being an office worker. Along with learning that both the boys are Quirkless, though Miki is also one as well. Meanwhile Inko had a telekinesis Quirk, and Gorou having small speed Quirk.
"May I ask what does your husband do? Since he isn't here," Gorou asked.
"Oh, my husband, Hisashi, works as a scientist for the government," Inko answered, which surprised the Hyoudous. "He does visit us time to time. But sadly due to being transfer to I-Island, his interactions have been limited."
"I-Island, what's that?" Issei asked.
"you don't know whats I Island?!" Izuku asked loudly, stunned on what he heard.
"Oh boy," Inko muttered. "Here we go."
"Should we be concern?" Miki asked her.
"How could you NOT know about I-Island, Issei? It's THE best island that is well known around the world. One that helps heroes from every part of the world and making progress on the studies of Quirk, and..." Izuku started on passion before his rant going on long ramble as the brunette flinch back. Mostly on not what he is expecting this.
"Huh, didn't expected that," Gorou said with a sweatdropped but shrugged. "But it could be worse."
"Oh please, my baby will not cause a fight," the Midoriya matriarch reassured the two.
"I don't know about that," Miki muttered, which got Inko's attention.
"Huh, what?" she asked, confused on what she heard.
"All will be told soon, Inko-san," Gorou said before coughing loudly, gaining the boys attention. "Now, normally I would say to play in the living room, boys. But I feel I put the suspense to Issei for far to long."
"Suspense? What do you mean?" Inko asked.
"Oh yea, that," the perverted teen said as he scratch his head. "So, when I told my parents about Izuku and you, Midoriya-san, my parents had a surprised look on their faces," Issei explained to the two guests. "But the biggest surprised was that they didn't want to tell me. Hence why another reason I wanted you guys to come over is for them to spill the beans."
"Oh yea, since you said you have a gut feeling about us meeting before," Izuku said, remembering the detail which he later told his mom.
"Which we also needed time to get the things, sweetie," Miki said as she went to the kitchen and opened a cabinet. She then took out a couple of binders and brought them to the table. Meanwhile, Gorou brought out journals from his bag, which surprised Issei as he thought he came back from work. Which made everyone curious on what were these things.
"Nani?" All three said, stunned on what they are seeing.
Mostly since the photo album of a binder showed a kid version of Issei and Izuku.
In fact, it showed them, Inko, Hisashi, Gorou and Miki.
"That's us?!" Inko shrieked in surprise. "But if we meet in the past, what happened?"
"Yea, pops, what the hell?" Issei asked.
"The reason why, son, also has to do to your other friends," Gorou explained.
"Others?" Izuku repeated. "Like Kacchan?"
"I wish, Izuku-chan," Miki answered. "Turns out... we have more than your two being friends." She said as she flip the album to a section in particular.
This one photo showed not just Issei and Izuku as kids, but also more kids that the two didn't know. These other seven kids range in hair colors, yet all look so happy being together from the looks of it.
One kid looked like Issei, though he has shorter hair than him and have green eyes.
The second kid looks a bit tanner and has black hair with blue tints and have brown eyes.
Same to another kid that also the same hair color, though the blue is a bit more noticeable with blue eyes.
Next is a kid with black hair, almost midnight, with blue eyes, and a bit older of the group.
Another kid has blue hair that is more noticeable and has hazel eyes.
A sixth kid has dark brown hair with spiky hair and matching brown eyes.
The last was the biggest surprised as it was a kid with orange hair and green eyes.
Everyone was speechless as they saw through the album on who they were. And from the looks of it, the parents knew in a way.
"I think you should read the journals, too," Miki suggested, pushing the journals towards them. The three looked at the entries in the books and were flabbergasted.
Inko gasped as she saw some of the crazy adventures these boys did, included her baby boy.
"Pushing go karts when the engine failed?" She said. "Cheating on arcades? Running a scam against Katsuki and the rest of the first graders? Scaling up a wall without protective gears? Illegaly skating? What are these?!" Izuku also had his jaws dropped on what he is seeing.
"Suddenly being a pervert is the least crazy thing Issei is when bringing this up," Gorou chuckled, which made his son blush.
"Tou-san, how high are you?" Issei asked, only to receive a smack from a roll of newspaper.
"We're not on drugs, boy!" she growled at the accusation. She calmed down a bit. "As you can see... your childhoods intertwined before and were... hectic to say the least."
They allowed the three to look back at the memories as they saw the utter insanities the nine boys did together. It seems to be a grand crazy misadventures. Something out of anime or cartoons. Somethings that would make no sense.
Yet it happened.
Issei was curious on who were the boys as he felt that would be a good clue. As knowing the names would help give him another question. Though thankfully, Izuku found it.
"Huh, look here," Izuku said, carefully taking the photo out. He flipped it over as everyone got to see it. "To the best friends in the whole world and Japan, we the Graffiti Cleanup Crew will stand together as brothers. Signed, Issei Hyoudou, Rito Yuuki, Basara Toujou, Izuku Midoriya, Ichika Orimura, Tsukune Aono, Saito Hiraga, Shido Itsuka, and Kizuna Hida. Best Friends and Blood Brothers to the end."
In a way that while it seems he forgot about them, Izuku can't help but cry a bit. That somehow he blackout on this important part of his childhood. While Issei feeling the same. That it seems he must have had an awesome childhood with these boys. And Inko, while worried that they may corrupt her baby if they would meet, also feel sad that she blacked out.
"Say... dad, how come we lost contact with them?" Issei asked his father.
"Sadly, we all moved away and naturally forgot," Miki explained, sighing with a bit of a sad tone. "The Toujous moved out, something about a drama. Yuukis moved out as the mom was a modeling agent and the father was a manganka, last I remembered. For the Hiragas, Midoriyas, Aono, they moved away due to economic reasons."
"As for the Orimuras and Hidas, you can thank their sisters for that," Gorou said as he showed a picture of the sisters of Ichika and Kizuna. Which amazed Inko, awed Issei, but shocked Izuku.
"We were friends with the brothers of the Brunhilde and the Seraphim!?" the greenette shouted in shocked, which shocked the other two.
"Wait, a minute, THE Brunhilde and THE Seraphim? The same ones who pilot the Infinite Stratos and Hybrid Suits?!" the brunette repeated in shock.
"Yes! The same suits and same ones who became rivals in the Fourth Mondo Grosso Tournament!"
"Holy Shit, I remembered that one. Especially the third where Reiri destroyed Alicia Jiosestaf and demanded to fight Chifuyu in the fourth tournament."
"It was very shocking it ended in a tie."
"Tell me about it."
"I cannot believe we were friends with some celebrities," Inko muttered, still stunned to believe that her son, despite the child antics, was friends to the younger brothers of Chifuyu and Reiri. "And I take it they are the reason why they moved away?"
"Yep," the Hyoudou couples answered at the rhetoric question.
"Something told me that would be the case," Issei spat out. "Not wanting to do with us 'peasants'. I bet we gave Ichika and Kizuna one hell of a childhood."
"Provided that they remember," Izuku said, sweatdropping at the comment. As while he agrees on what he said, the fact the green haired nerd forgot about this tells there is a good chance they also don't remember as well.
"Well, keep in mind, they also had Ichika and Kizuna being kidnapped before," Miki said as she took out a couple of newspaper headlines and journal entrkes on the kidnappings. Which stunned the three people.
"... fair enough," Issei said in red, embarrassed.
"I'll say," Inko said, sweatdropping. "But what about Shido and his family?"
"Said there was a fire in his town, last I heard," Gorou answered, which shocked them. "Thankfully, his parents were alive and got the kids out. But with the lost of their home, I'm guessing they also lost our numbers, too. So if they're out there, I do hope their safe. Some say it was a spacial quake that caused it."
"Oh yea, those spacial quakes," Izuku said, also remembered those. Good thing they became a bit rarer. "Something that is perplexing, even to the heroes."
"Man, and I thought the world was crazy with Quirks," Issei said. "The Suits, Spacial Quakes, and Quirks. Just when you thought the world was insane."
"Heh, I think you nine were more insane than any of those out together," Gorou snorted.
"Well, I will say thank you for showing us this," Izuku said, surprise at what he was learning from this. "I just thought it was our imagination when Issei said he remembered me from somewhere. It's deeper than I thought."
"It's alright," Miki reassured. "Sooner or later, even Issei was going through old memories. So we might as well come clean."
"The only thing I find saddening is that we lost contact with each other," Inko commented. Looking at one photo where the kids were playing, but the parents were also together talking.
Some of the journal entries noted that Basara's father, Jin Toujou, is a widow and raises his son alone. Then there's the fact that Shido was nearly lost in the fire, which is also sad to hear. As for the Orimuras and Hidas, she can see why, as those suits, which under skilled pilots like Chifuyu and Reiri can go on par with the top 10 Heroes. Which makes sense why they didn't want their brothers to hang out with them.
It's to protect them and themselves from kidnappers and terrorists.
This just leaves the Yuukis, the Aonos, and the Hiragas to still be able to be contacted, if possible.
"Wait, are those Ichika's parents?" Issei asked, confused at a picture.
"Oh, those are the Shinononos," Miki, as she began to explain. "They're friends to the Orimuras. That was during when Chifuyu went to Germany. So Ichika stayed with them until she came back. They were good friends."
"We never knew her parents," Gorou added. "Even when Tabane approached us, she told us that both Reiri and Chifuyu refuses to talk about the past other than being bad parents. But I think there is more than meets the eye." Everyone nodded in understanding. With Inko sad to hear that two sister-brother pairs were more or less abandoned by their parents.
Except for the green bean.
"Wait a minute!" Izuku shouted, as he looks at the married couple. "Tabane Shinonono!? The Tabane Shinonono?! The one that created the Infinite Stratos suits!?" He shouted the question in disbelief, which was followed by the incredulously looks of Issei and Inko as well.
"Oh my, seems we are a magnet of celebrities," Inko said, surprised as there is a photo of the family talking to Tabane. "I'm amazed we even talked to her..."
"Wow, she looks sexy," Issei muttered with some drool. Only to get a slap from the roll of newspaper from his mom. "Ow!"
"Yes, that Tabane Shinonono. And be respectful, Issei," Miki said while scolding her son.
It seems that once that was done, the three were stunned on what they learned today. Especially both Issei and Izuku. The two went to the living room to play video games via emulators. Issei with the PS4 controller and Izuku with the 360's. While his mom talked with the Hyoudous on some of the subject and other things.
This was an eventful day for everyone involved.
However, there is one thing that will be a headache when it comes.
As the day turn to evening and time to go, Issei looked at Izuku with a smile as they bid each other farewells.
"I know this sounds risky, Izuku," Issei said, his face lit with a grin. "But we should try and get the gang back together."
This question surprised everyone, though not his parents as they soon recovered and laugh a bit.
"Are you sure, Issei?" Izuku asked. "What if they don't remembered us? We got lucky with us thanks to your parents."
"We can take photos of the album and journals, duh," the brunette responded to him. "Plus it will be simple hangouts. I doubt we will have crazy stuff like how we did things as kids again."
"Mhmm," the green haired teen pondered as those are good points. "We will need to plan it out. May be harder if they don't have social media."
"Heh, that's true."
"But... it's worth a shot."
"Now you're speaking my language."
The boys chuckled as they at least forming a plan.
Inko giggled at the childish before her.
Except for Hyoudou couple. Who once again sigh out loud at the incoming headaches.
"Here we go again," Miki muttered out loud.
"I'm too old for this shit," Gorou muttered as everyone else laughed.
Hope you all enjoyed this chapter. As you can see, I finally really how big this crossover is. Along with some hints at how crazy their childhoods were. Also, this is after Irina moved back to the UK. So this take place around Issei's second half of his 6th years old, close to his 7th birthday. I would say that around their 8th or 9th birthday is when they went their separate ways.
As for the crossover, here it is.
1, Highschool DxD, Issei Hyoudou.
2, My Hero Academia, Izuku Midoriya.
3, Infinite Stratos, Ichika Orimura.
4, Ataraxia Academy Hybrid x Hearts, Kizuna Hida.
5, Testament of New Sister Devil, Basara Toujou.
6, Date a Live, Shido Itsuka.
7, Familiar of Zero, Saito Hiraga.
8, Rosario+Vampire, Tsukune Aono.
9, To Love Ru, Rito Yuuki.
I do admit, it is a lot. But as long I stick to more slice of life with small adventures than a big complex storyline, I should be good.
...
I hope.
And with that, I hope you all enjoyed the chapter. Please leave a comment, fav and/or follow and have a nice day.
