Chapter 02
Reviews
TwinstarDragon: you are the FIRST reviewer this story has had, despite this story being up for over a month, so thank you. Interesting idea with ice maker magic (both static AND active), izuku's aura, lightning and the crystal gems. Might not do that, since he would be rather OP. he might have some pretty heavy fire resistance, once his aura and semblance manages to activate. Resistance to psychic abilities will be rather hard, so no on that. His bones and muscles will most likely be like that, once he gets his aura and great idea.
TwinstarDragon: he will have both a semblance AND aura. Interesting, but the lightning (if he gets lightning) would most likely just enhance his speed, strength and his reactions, with minor empathy(just enough for people to know his actual feelings)
Previously
Ruby managed to get off of izuku, rather reluctantly (she wanted to keep hugging him), and sat in the chair next to him.
After izuku got up and put his chair back to normal, the teacher said "alright, class, let's begin the class."
Now
(after school ends for the day)
"Izuku, come on," ruby said.
"Huh?" izuku asked. He was a bit behind, seeing as he was in deep thought at the time.
"I said LET'S GO," ruby said, yet again. "I want you to meet my sister."
"Oh, ok. Let's go," izuku said, and got up. However, before he could move, a hand decided to appear with an explosion. "Where the fuck do you think you're going, deku?!" a voice said behind him. "Sigh, katsuki, let go before i hurt you, AGAIN," izuku said.
The voice, katsuki, snorted and said "yeah, right. You can't even DO ANYTH-" was as far as he got, before izuku grabbed the hand, twisted it to break the wrist, turned and kneed him in the stomach, then THREW katsuki into the blackboard. Katsuki was dazed and in pain.
"I warned you, katsuki," izuku said to him. Izuku then turned to ruby, and said "let's go, ruby. You wanted me to meet your sister, right?"
That question snapped ruby out of her shock, and returned her to her normal happy-go-lucky self. "Yeah, let's go, already, izuku!" ruby said eagerly.
With that said, ruby grabbed izuku's hand, and disappeared in a burst of flower petals.
The mall
"Come on, where is she?" a blond girl asked out loud.
"Who, aside from you, cares where that dolt is?!" a whitette said in a snobbish voice.
"Can you two please keep it down? I'm trying to read," a blackette said
Before a fight could start, ruby appeared in a burst of flower petals, dragging poor izuku with her. "Am i late?" she asked. Izuku was really dizzy. "Yes, you are, rubes," the blonde said. Izuku shook his head to regain his bearings. "Where are we, ruby?" izuku asked.
"We're at the mall, izuku," ruby replied. "So, ruby, which one is your sister?" izuku asked. However, before ruby could respond… "the blonde barbarian over here is her sister," the whitette said. Izuku looked at the whitette, and gave her a dead stare for a few minutes. She was starting to get uncomfortable, when izuku spoke. "Hmm, judging by the fact that YOU answered, even though i was speaking to RUBY…" izuku said, getting her to wince. "As well as your posture, including the snobbish tone…" izuku continued. She began to get angry, that this commoner had the GALL to talk down to her like that. "I conclude that you must be a spoiled princess, with a superiority complex, and are used to others following your 'orders' without question," izuku concluded.
She attacked with a rune sequence, which izuku dodged with relative ease, causing a large area behind him to get destroyed . "I see. I'll need to alter my observation of you. You are closer to katsuki bakugo. Now, quit attacking me and calm the hell down, before i hurt you like i did him," izuku stated, with a hard stare that promised pain.
She shuddered under his stare in fear, and reluctantly stopped attacking. "Good. i'd hate to be your parents for the bill that they're gonna receive," izuku said. "Bill? What bill?" she asked. Izuku simply gestured behind him.
She looked behind him, only to pale at the amount of damage she caused.
"You need to get your temper under control, white," izuku admonished her. She blushed in embarrassment, and hid her face in her hands. Izuku walked over to ruby and the blonde. "Now, ruby, what were you saying, before the whitette interrupted?" izuku asked.
That snapped ruby out of the daze she'd been under for a bit. "Oh, right, this is my sister; yang," ruby introduced, gesturing to the blonde. "Yang, this is izuku," ruby gestured to izuku.
"Nice to meet you, yang," izuku said, as he held out a hand. "Likewise, dude. Ruby spoke about you," yang said. "Good things, i hope?" "pretty good," yang said. Izuku turned to the blackette. "I'm izuku, and you?" he asked her. "Blake," she simply said. "Good book?" he asked. "Very," blake said. "Alright," he said, before turning back to ruby and yang.
"Izuku, i just remembered something," ruby said. "Yeah?" he asked her. "Why did the teacher call you a useless person?" she asked, with absolutely no tact, whatsoever. Izuku's head hung, a cloud of depression hung over him. "It's because i don't have a quirk, and my aura and semblance haven't manifested themselves, yet," izuku said sadly. Ruby, the whitette, blake and yang were all surprised at that. "You're a late bloomer?" ruby asked. "Yeah," izuku simply said.
"Enough of all this gloom, let's all have fun," yang declared, before she grabbed izuku and ran to the nearby arcade. "Yang, wait for me," ruby yelled as she chased her sister. The whitette and black followed at a more sedate pace.
Inside the arcade
After yang dragged izuku into the arcade, she let him go, and he collapsed and he greedily gulped in air. "You need to calm down, yang," izuku managed to say. Yang had the decency to wince. "Sorry," she softly said in a voice of regret.
Izuku slowly managed to get up, only for ruby to literally run into him. "AGH" "OOF" izuku and ruby cried out as she crashed into him. Izuku slid forward on the floor a bit, twitching, while ruby groaned. The whitette and black entered the arcade a few minutes later, only to see yang fussing over ruby and izuku as they laid on the ground.
"What happened here?" the whitette asked. "Ruby crashed into izuku, and now they won't move," yang nearly yelled in worry. The whitette knelt next to ruby and izuku, only to be dumbfounded. Izuku was awake, but in pain, and ruby? "*snore*" Ruby was asleep and using izuku's back as a bed. "Can someone get ruby off me, please?" izuku asked.
Yang knelt next to izuku and ruby, then carefully picked her sister up. Izuku managed to sit up with a groan. "Thanks, yang," izuku said. No problem, izuku," yang replied. Ruby, however, started thrashing about in her sleep, like she wanted to go back to bed. Izuku stood up, and yang got an idea: she carefully put ruby back on izuku's back, and she clung to him like a koala (or a backpack) and her expression changed from sadness to happy, as she nuzzled his back.
"What's going on, yang?" izuku asked. "Ruby was comfy on your back," yang explained as best she could. "*sigh* Well, what's done is done. Who's in the mood for a game?" izuku asked. "I'm in the mood for a music game," izuku said.
The whitette perked up a bit at that. You play music?" she asked. "I do. Also, what's your name?" izuku asked. The girl had a blank expression on her face, before she remembered that she never introduced herself. "I'm weiss schnee," she introduced herself. "Cool. i hope you're not like your father," izuku stated. Weiss grew angry at that. "And what is THAT supposed to mean?" she demanded angrily. "I'll tell if you win this game," izuku said as he stood in front of a particular music game. "If i win, i'll still tell you," izuku said, as he selected the type of game on the machine: a battle. "The machine plays the another instruments that are in a song, in order to compensate for the instrument you chose," izuku explained
"Very well," weiss stated, as she wanted answers. She stepped up to the machine. "CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON" the machine said. Weiss chose a violin to play, as did izuku. Weiss was surprised at the instrument izuku chose. "The violin?" she asked. "Yes," izuku simply said. "Ladies, first," izuku said.
"Thank you," weiss said, before choosing the song she wanted to play.
"BEGIN" the machine declared.
Weiss played 'vivaldi' - the four seasons. Once she was finished, she stepped aside to let izuku play. izuku played 'lindsey stirling' - moon trance. Unbeknownst to izuku, weiss, yang, ruby and blake, a crowd had gathered around the five of them, and had started gathering around them when weiss was playing 'the four seasons'. They watched as izuku and weiss fought each other with music. Once izuku's song was finished, they started cheering, surprising four out of five of the people they had gathered around (ruby was still asleep on izuku's back. Weiss and izuku bowed to the crowd, with izuku somehow not falling over, due to ruby being on his back upsetting his balance.
"I'm surprised that you can play the violin so well, izuku," weiss said, with surprise clear on her face. "Thanks weiss. Now, as per our agreement, i will tell you what i meant about hoping you not being like your father," izuku said, getting weiss' full attention.
"I did my research into him AND the mines where his workers are," izuku began. "The conditions down in those mines are sub-par, at BEST. furthermore, there have been a LOT of complaints from the workers in said mines, about, at the very least, improving the working conditions," izuku said. His explanation surprised weiss. "Do you know what he did, after they complained?" izuku asked. Weiss shook her head 'no'.
"He IGNORED the complaints, and began to work them harder," izuku said, shocking weiss. "Your father does not care about others, weiss. He just wants to make more money, and get as much prestige as he can, by whatever means necessary. THAT is why i don't like him," izuku said. Weiss was in shock at what he said.
"Want to know something else?" izuku asked. Weiss reluctantly nodded. "Just about all of the 'workers' in those mines are faunus," izuku snarled. "He is nothing but a bigoted racist that is hoping to wipe out the faunus, whose only real crimes are EXISTING and wanting equality," izuku snarled, shocking weiss even more, and surprisingly, blake.
"Right now, i have nothing against you, weiss. But if you EVER become more like you father…" izuku began, before he looked darkly at weiss. "I will hit you until you come back to your senses, and that's a promise," izuku stated. Weiss got a bit scared, and blake had a small blush on her face.
Izuku looked at the clock. "Wow, it's already almost six," izuku said, startling the awake girls, and yang getting a scared look on her face, which izuku noticed. "What's wrong, yang?" "mine and ruby's dad said to be back by 6:30," she said, her voice shaking.
"Well then, grab me and run as hard as you can," izuku said. "Alright," yang did as izuku said, and ran like hell back home.
The home of ruby and yang
Yang slid to a stop, leaving a trench in the front yard. Izuku was dizzy and ruby was still asleep. Just then, the father of yang and ruby burst through the door "WHAT DO YOU THIN-" was as far as he got, before yang covered his mouth, silencing him. "Quiet, dad, or you'll wake ruby," she said, before she removed her hand from the mouth of her dad.
"'Wake up ruby'?" he asked in a quiet voice. "Long story short, dad, ruby crashed into her friend here, and fell asleep on his back. When i took her off, she started thrashing, so i put her back on his back, she calmed down, and started to cling to him, and she hasn't even budged since," yang explained.
"I see," her father said, before he gently pried his youngest off izuku and put her in her bed and gave her her plushie, which she clung to. Quietly chuckling a bit, he went back to the front door. "Thank you for bringing her home, young man," yang's father said. "You're welcome, sir," izuku said. "I'm izuku," he introduced himself, holding his hand out. Yang's father grabbed izuku's hand and shook it. "I'm taiyang. Nice to meet you," taiyang introduced himself.
Izuku let go of taiyang's hand. "Well it was nice meeting you, sir, but i have to get home, myself, before my mother floods the apartment with her tears, again," izuku said before he left for home.
