"It's already 11pm and she hasn't come back," Toru said as she looked at the clock. "Perhaps she's guilty and doesn't want to see us," Ochaco stated. "Or maybe she came in through the window, ribbit," Tsuyu suggested. "But her room is on the highest floor," Mina commented. "She can jump higher than that," Momo piped in. "Quit talking. It's annoying as hell," Katsuki grumbled from the kitchen. He was cutting vegetables whilst the girls were sitting in the common room as they waited for Sakura to arrive. Mina rolled her eyes at this. "I'm still surprised you didn't wake up at the commotion during the last match. She must've knocked you out pretty bad, huh?" Eijirou teased as he washed his dishes by the sink. "It's because I let it win, Shitty Hair. There's no way that stupid demon fox can beat me. It was a lucky shot," the blonde spat out. "That 'it' is a girl. And her name is Sakura Haruno," the redhead shot back. "You telling me you didn't notice that?" he deadpanned. "Unlike you, I don't check out every female on the road," Katsuki retorted. Eijirou's face turned red. "H-Hey! I didn't check her out or anything!" he defended. "What, afraid that Mina will hear and think you're like that pervert midget?" Bakugo said with a mean smile. "Sakura's too scary to check out," Minoru commented as he sat on the kitchen island. "Remove your disgusting butt off the kitchen island, you'll leave your perverted germs on it," the blonde growled but was ignored by the purple-haired boy. This caused small explosions to start in his palms. "Now now, we don't want to start a fight. We have to save our energy for tomorrow," Hanta said. "I see someone coming to our dormitory," Denki shouted from the window. "It seems as though our latest classmate is on her way here," Fumikage added.

At that, the door clicked open and Sakura entered. She was holding a heavy looking bag. Her eyes landed on her classmates who were all standing in the doorway with the exception of Katsuki who was in the kitchen and Shoto who was in his room. "Hey," she said awkwardly. Mina was the first to speak. "Sorry, we are a little late to welcome you but welcome to U.A. I'm Mina Ashido," the pink girl reintroduced herself.

"I'm Toru Hagakure."

"I'm Momo Yaoyorozu."

"I'm Ochaco Uraraka."

"Denki Kaminari."

"Minoru Mineta."

"Tenya Iida at your service!"

They all introduced themselves. "I'm Sakura Haruno," she mumbled as she shrunk back a little. "No need to be shy. We're all friend here, even Katsuki in the kitchen," Toru said. "We're not and will never be friends!" the said blonde shouted from the kitchen. "You must be tired. We prepared food for you," Momo said as she moved to take Sakura's bag. "Wait, it's too heavy!" But she was too late. The bag crashed to the floor with a loud thud. "Let me do it," Tenya took the bag in his arms. He had only taken one step before it crashed to the floor again. "I wanna try!" Denki exclaimed but he didn't even move it one bit. "Me too!" Eijirou followed suit but the results were the same. "Just how heavy is this thing?" Mina questioned. Sakura kneeled down and took it effortlessly into her arms. "Woah!" they breathed out. "It's part of my quirk, super strength," she explained. "You mean your quirk is super strength?" Izuku stated as he moved to stand in front of her. "More or less of a yes," she replied. "I'll explain about my quirk. I need to take this to my room and get changed," she spoke as she walked past them towards the upper floor.


After putting away her hero costume and taking a shower, she made her way to the common room where the whole class was waiting for her. She was dressed in a white t-shirt and black loose shorts which ended just above her knees. A seat had already been prepared for her and a tray of food was set out on the table. She went to her seat. "I know you have a lot of questions so fire," she said as she broke her chopsticks. "What's your quirk?" Izuku was the first one. She chewed on her meat then swallowed. "It's called Enhance. Basically, I'm using my life force to enhance my physical abilities. I have super strength, can jump higher than normal and have more speed. I call my life force chakra, it's easier to understand that way," she replied. They all nodded thoughtfully. "Is that how you defeated Ochaco?" Yuuga asked. She nodded. "I channeled chakra to cover my whole body in a way that increased my physical mass. If I were to crash to the ground in that state, I would probably obliterate the entire dorm or even beyond," she said as she slurped on ramen. "Makes sense." "What about how you healed Shoto?" Momo asked. "That's another avenue of my quirk. I used my chakra to manipulate the cells in his body to my will. I made them regenerate faster, also killing any infections and viruses that he might've got," she spoke. "Does that mean you can kill a person with that?" Eijirou asked. "Yes," she replied. They all blanched. "I can form chakra scalpels which can tear a person's muscles from the inside without drawing blood, I just have to be in physical contact with you. I can manipulate your cells to either overgrow until you have cancer or cause them to die by burning them with chakra as I would a virus or an infection. To those who I knocked out using punches, I channeled some medical chakra to my hands so that when I touched you, I made your cells more active than usual that's why you couldn't stand or get up after some time," she told them.

"So it's not enhancing your abilities but manifesting your life force-" "It's chakra." "-chakra in it's physical form. Sort of like, you concentrate it in your fist then you release it all at once when you punch the ground and it has that devastating effect," Izuku spoke hurriedly in excitement. "Yes and no. It's both actually. That's how I was able to carry my hero costume when you guys couldn't," she said with a small smile. "I have to ask though. What happened to your tails? You used to have about nine tails but now you don't," Mina asked. "I'm still figuring it out myself," she replied briskly, hoping that no one would ask the question that she dreaded the most. "Your head looks smaller. It was a bit oversize when you came but now it's a normal size. Even your features, they aren't animalistic but more human. You have a really nice smile though," the pink girl added. "Really? Thank you," she said truthfully. She needed to have a talk with Kurama urgently. "Is there a disadvantage to your quirk?" Fumikage asked. She nodded. "Everytime I use my quirk, I'm draining my life force. If I use too much, I'll die so I have to make sure I use my life with precise control so that I don't overuse it and die," she told them. "Scary," Minoru said with a slight shiver.

"Where did you learn before coming to U.A?" Hanta asked. "I don't know really. I have amnesia. I lost all of my memories except bits and pieces. I don't even know my age. Sometimes I forget my own name," she said as she looked at the ground. "I only remember coming to Musutufu last year. I don't know what happened before that," she finished. Her classmates looked at her sympathetically. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked," the tape-user apologized quickly. "It's okay. It's best if you guys know so you don't overreact when some things happen," she added cheerily. "I'm sorry for what happened earlier during our spars. I didn't mean to. I guess I just overreacted at being frozen. It brought some unpleasant memories," she said with an apologetic smile. "I can't tell you what happened, I don't know either," she lied. She wasn't about to tell she had a beast sealed inside of her. She was mysterious enough, she wasn't about to add more.

She stood up. "I'd love to chat and all but I'm getting really sleepy. Thank you for the meal," she said as she took her tray and walked to the kitchen. She passed by Katsuki who was glaring daggers at her. She gave a smile and a nod in return. "Good night," she waved as she went to her room. "I'm sleepy too. We have an exam tomorrow," Ochacho said as she yawned. Soon enough, everyone had gone to his room.


'Mind explaining what's happening?' Sakura asked as soon as her head hit the pillow. Some things might not make sense when I say them now but you'll understand as time goes on, the fox said as it sat up in her mind. A little before you came to Musutufu, you altered your chakra and bound it to mine to the extent of changing your biology. Our chakra mixed and became one that's why you have some of my features. It's different from when I was sealed inside of you. At first I was a separate being from you but now we are one. My chakra and yours are the same thing. There is no differentiation. It's only that you didn't notice that our chakra had become one. Which is why it easy for you to go into the Kyuubi mode at the slightest change in your mood, it explained. Which brings me to why you change physically. Our chakra reflects our emotions. You are bitter about your past, you're bitter that I am inside you. You are bitter about your previous home. Because your biology and mine are different despite having the same chakra, there is physical manifestation of your biology and mine because your mind is waging war. You are not settled mentally. Until you come at peace with our union and adjust to your new life as well as let go of the past, you will retain your human form. That is why I told to you not to be bitter, Kurama finished.

'What about my tails, how did they disappear?' she asked. That was your first step in accepting your life here and the people therein. If you hadn't accepted them, you wouldn't have felt guilty about injuring Todoroki or wanting to heal him after that, he replied. 'Hmmmm, it makes sense. I used feel angry at everyone all the time but today, I didn't feel like that. For the first time, I felt guilty,' she thought. The fox hummed in agreement. 'What happened before we came to Musutufu?' she asked. 'I know that where we lived, there weren't any Heroes but Shinobi. I had a team of sorts, Team 7. My sensei was called Kakashi and my teammates were Naruto and Sasuke. But none of them liked me because of my personality,' she stated. The Kyuubi was quiet for awhile. I can't say. 'Why?'

Because you made us forget.


Cha! Done! Three months without an update, long time! This was initially a single chapter but it was too long and so I split it into two. I hope you like it. More is being revealed on Sakura's past, totally not canon. Read and review.
