It has been about four months since we started preschool. Honestly, it has been better than I thought it would. The work is barely work, and I can use it the rest of the time to sleep or do whatever I want. The teachers also have been praising me for my so-called intelligence, even if it was just my past memories. They made sure to point it out to my mother when she picked us up. For doing so well, Mom would sometimes take me out for dessert. I think she saw it as a Mother-Daughter bonding session of how she was always excited for them, and I wasn't going to say no to some free ice cream. Though, Katsuki seemed a little peeved by not being allowed to go on these outings and started seeing it as a competition. He would rub it in my face if he got a higher score than me, which only happened when we were learning Japanese. Learning a whole new language was a bit difficult for me. Perhaps I should have watched anime Sub rather than Dub. After a while, I was getting annoyed by the taunting and just asked Mom if we could bring him along, which seemed to upset her slightly but she agreed without much thought. It made Katsuki happy, so that was fine by me.
Currently, we are having recess, so I'm just relaxing on my favorite bean bag chair. This thing is a lot more comfortable than the ones I had in America. I swear, just jumping into those things felt like landing in a pile of rocks. I thought to myself as I snuggled further into the seat. I closed my eyes and was about to fall asleep. That was, before someone jumped into the chair next to me, launching me in the air a few feet, making my eyes widen.
"What the heck!" I screeched, landing back on the cushion, and hearing a familiar laugh from my brother. "You should have seen your face!" He continued to laugh, grinning at me.
"Oi…do you have to be so loud," I grumbled, trying to push him off. He wasn't having any of that though, grabbing my hand and dragging me onto my feet. Ugh gross, why are his hands so sweaty? I cringed inside, I hated the feeling of being sweaty or sticky."You sleep too much, come on I wanna show you something!" I groan as I let myself be drug outside, Katsuki pulling me to his group of friends. I don't know his friends too well. I do recognize them though as his lackeys from the show, so I already wasn't too fond of them when he first introduced me to them.
"You gotta see this Kazu!" Katsuki sounded excited as he stood in front of the boys with his signature smirk, raising his hands. He then punched his hands together, a small explosion bursts from the palm of his hand. My eyes widened slightly at the sight. Has his quirk manifested already? No wonder why his hands were so fucking sweatier than normal. Hearing a couple of gasps around the playground, kids start to form a group around us.
"Wow, you got your quirk already!" One commented. "That is such a cool quirk!" They were endlessly praising my brother and he was soaking it all in, a bit too well. His hands were on his hips and his head was raised a little higher with pride. "I know right? I got the best quirk here!"
I rolled my eyes at his remark. Great, his ego train has just left the station. Noticing the green blob known as Midoriya poking his way through the crowd, the boy beams at Katsuki.
"Waah, you're so cool Kaachan! I hope to get a quirk just as cool as yours!"
Katsuki and his friends looked at him, then scoffed. "Yeah right Midoriya, in your dreams! No one will get a quirk as cool as mine." He said as he glanced at me, I frowned. "Well, maybe besides my sister, but definitely not you!" His lackeys laugh and they walk off with some of the other kids to play with their new quirks. I looked over at Midoriya, seeing him holding the bottom of his shirt tightly with quivering lips. God damn it Katsuki. I sighed, walking closer to him.
"Ignore my brother Izuku, I'm sure you'll get an amazing quirk too," I said to him, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder, making him flinch slightly. He looks up at me with uncertainty in his eyes.
"I-If you say so Kazuchan…"
It's been a few weeks since Katsuki got his quirk. Mom and Dad couldn't be prouder of him as he continued to learn how to use his powers. Mom kept an eye on me more recently though, unsure of the reason why but who cares? Katsuki and I did find out that Midoriya was diagnosed as quirkless the other day. Was Mom worried I'd turn out quirkless as well? Did I even want a quirk? I've lived my previous life without one just fine, but then again it was normal there. I groan as the beam of sunlight hits my face. I sluggishly got up from the bed and dragged myself into the bathroom. I pushed the stepping stool in front of the sink and climbed on top of it. Ugh, it was really hot last night, I hated it so much. I feel all sweaty… I grumbled as I turned the faucet on, running my hands under the cool water. Closing my eyes, I splashed some water onto my face. Reaching for one of the towels. Before I could grab one, I lost my footing on the stool and slipped.
"AAH!" stretching my arms out in front of me to break my fall before a small explosion emerged from my hands, propelling me back onto my feet for a second before I fell back down again from the shock. My eyes widen in fear as I stare at the scorch marks on the floor. The bathroom door bursts open with Mom rushes toward me. "Kazumi!" She shouts, sliding on the ground to sit in front of me. "Are you okay baby, what happened!?" I started up at her, slightly shaking. Not long after, Dad and Katsuki came in as well with concern in their eyes. Katsuki frowns as he follows my gaze. Seeing the singe marks, the worry on his face melts into pure happiness.
"Mom I think Kazu just got her quirk!" He says happily, running to sit next to me, pointing at the burnt floor behind her. Mitsuki looks at it before turning back to me, cupping my hands with her bigger ones. "Is that true, did you hurt yourself at all, sweetie?" She says softly, opening her hands to look at mine, and rubbing her thumbs against them. I look up at her, then back at Katsuki.
"N-No I'm not hurt…I fell and I was gonna hit the floor but my hands exploded, pushing me back." I shuddered, still shaken by what happened. My hands feel numb right now. Is this normal when you use your quirk? Mom sighs in relief. "That's good, I'm glad you are not hurt. It looks like Katsuki is right, seems like your quirk has come in dear." She smiles at me. Dad chuckles and walks over to us, kneeling down as well.
"I told you, you didn't have anything to worry about dear. She's got an amazing quirk, just like her brother. Mitsuki sighs. "I know, and I'm glad for her." So they were worried about the possibility of me being quirkless. I stared at the floor and then back at Dad. "Sorry that I ruined the floor…"
"Don't worry about it kiddo, accidents happen."
Going back to school was hell now that I had a quirk. Kids were starting to pay attention to me more after Katsuki declared us the Explosion Twins or something stupid like that when he told everyone I got the same quirk as him. Maannnn, I miss my quiet time. I sighed as I pushed away from another group of loud kids who wanted me to play with them. I also HATE the fact that our quirk makes me sweat so much. I feel like I'm constantly running to the bathroom to wash up. I literally just cleaned myself and I can already feel the nitroglycerin-like sweat building up on my skin. I continue walking around the playground, with my hands stuffed inside my pockets, until I pass by the sandbox. Noticing my brother and his friend were surrounding a rather beaten-up Izuku sitting next to some scorched sand. I growled as I walked up to them, hearing their annoying laughter. "You're such a useless Deku!" I heard Katsuki bark out as he raised one of his hands.
"That is enough Katsuki!" I yelled as I moved myself in front of Izuku. My brother's eyes widen slightly in disbelief seeing me blocking one of his hits making him and his cronies back up a bit.
"What are you doing Kazu, why are you always defending Deku from me? You should be on my side!" Izuku whimpers and hugs his knees, scooting a bit away from us, not wanting to get into any more trouble. I look back at the frightened green bean, then back at my brother, my vermillion red eyes burning into his own.
"I have always been on your side 'Suki, but I can't watch from the sidelines while you bully Izuku with your quirk!" Katsuki growls, glaring at me, then to Midoriya. "Fine, whatever, I don't see why you protect that nerd anyway…" He grumbles and walks away with his friends.
I look at Midoriya, frowning as I watch him tremble in his spot. I walk over, step into the sandbox, and sit next to him, Izuku flinches as I do so. He glances at me and starts to cry. I sigh, pulling him into a quick and gentle hug. I stay with him for a while, rubbing his back gently until he starts to calm down. I hear him sniffle and feel him move his head slightly. I remove my arm from him and look at him. "You okay Izuku?"
Midoriya looks at me, sniffling again as he rubs his cheek to clear his tears. "I-I'm okay…W-Why did you help me." He mutters quietly. "H-He's your brother, you shouldn't be fighting with him because of me." I stared at him.
"I did that because you are my friend Izuku, and…that is what heroes do."
