I'm glad to see the warm reception that this story has gotten so far. With my busy schedule, I will be devoting a good chunk of my spare time here, but I can't guarantee a consistent update schedule. That being said, let's get on with the story.
DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING!!
~~X~~
Class 1-A
The next week finds the members of class 1-A sitting in their desks as they chat before the first bell. Izuku and Melissa were talking to Momo about the similarities between their power of Creation and her quirk.
"We only have to imagine what we want to make and spend the necessary amount of blood and Yoki to create it." Melissa explained.
"That's actually where our armor comes from." Izuku added. "It's straight up matter creation through energy conversion."
Momo was stunned! "My quirk converts my fat cells into any inorganic material as long as I know its exact molecular composition. By comparison, my quirk seems like a cheap imitation of your power." She told them, pouting towards the end.
Melissa put a reassuring hand on her friend's shoulder. "We may have an easier process, but we can't even make cannons. We have to stick to simple items like armor or simple weapons like swords, spears, etc."
"You have a more complex process, but your quirk is only limited by your imagination and your knowledge. I'd argue that our power is better for during combat while your quirk is best suited for planning ahead. If you memorize a few tactical options like flash grenades that you could create on the fly it would help you a lot." Izuku told his fellow ravenette.
Momo smiled at the support of the vampire couple. They've been nothing but nice to her this past week, and she couldn't be more grateful for them and the rest of her new friends. She had noticed Shoto glaring daggers at Izuku in particular recently, and it was obvious that her husband was jealous of how close she was becoming to the vampire prince.
"Any luck so far on getting him to open up to you?" Izuku asked her.
Momo shook her head in the negative. "He refuses to even speak to me at home. My mind is telling me that I should just give up on him." She replied with her lip trembling in a clear attempt to hold back tears.
"But your heart is telling you that the boy you fell in love with in middle school is still in there somewhere." The blonde vampiress told her, getting a nod in response.
"It is." She confirmed. "I just don't know how to help him."
"Leave breaking his shell to me." Izuku assured. "I'll smash it open so you can crawl inside and take hold of the loving husband that we all know he can be."
Momo nodded to him in agreement.
The bell then rang as Aizawa made his entrance. "All seated, quiet, and accounted for. Good, you're all becoming logical." He stated as he flipped through the papers on his clipboard. "You'll have your first Foundational Heroics class today. This class will be half of your daily time, so expect to get plenty of training." The underground hero explained.
"Is there anything else we need to know right now? Guests on campus perhaps?" Izuku asked since he felt a few very familiar Yoki signatures nearby.
Aizawa grinned at the vampire. "We have some guests that will be helping out with a few courses today. There will be a siminar on inter-species coexistence hosted by Alucard and Bloodriver and later Night Maiden (Kahlua) and her apprentice will be observing your Foundational Heroics class. Lastly, David Shield is here helping out with the support course for the whole week."
"Papa didn't say anything about being in town." Melissa muttered.
"Neither did Mom or Dad... or Aunt Kahlua for that matter." Izuku whispered. "Crazy woman would typically demand that we let her stay with us while she visits." He muttered in irritation of his aunt's antics.
Knock Knock
Aizawa walked to the door and opened it. He was greeted with the sight of a tan skinned girl standing at a height of 5'4" tall with long platinum blonde hair and violet eyes. "Who are you and why are you interrupting my class?" Shota asked the unknown girl.
She was wearing a beautiful white dress that stopped at her knees, white high heels, and a white bat shaped domino mask. She also had two silver cross earrings on her ear lobes. (She dresses like Kahlua.)
"My name is Kuroka Shuzen. I'm the apprentice of Night Maiden." Kuroka introduced with a polite bow. She returned to a proper posture quickly, however, as a heavenly scent caught her nose. The tan girl took a few quick sniffs of the teacher before peeking past him and inhaling once more. "What is that heavenly aroma?" She muttered.
"You can come in, but you'll have to take a seat at the back of the class for now." He said as he allowed the vampiress into his classroom.
She continued to sniff as she walked through the room, but stopped once she found the source of the aroma that had assaulted her senses. Kuroka stared at the bespectacled blunette with an appraising eye. She then shrugged to herself before lunging too quickly for anyone to stop her.
"Gah!" Came the startled noise of Tenya as his neck was bitten. Izuku and Melissa's eyes widened as they then heard their friend fail to suppress a moan.
"Damn it!" Izuku shouted as he slammed his head onto his desk. "Why did I have to be right?" The male shinso groaned in annoyance.
"Why is she feeding from my student?" The pro asked the raven-haired shinso in clear annoyance as his brow twitched.
Izuku raised his head to make eye contact with his teacher. "Kuroka is my cousin, and just like most vampiresses, she's looking for her Mate of Fate." He explained, trailing off at the end for Aizawa to piece the rest together.
"Don't tell me..." Erasure Head groaned out. "Iida is her Mate of Fate, isn't he?"
Melissa nodded cautiously. "It... would appear so." She confirmed as she watched her friend be drained of his blood.
By this point Tenya needed to get a change of underwear and pants, but he couldn't bring himself to interrupt the vampiress who was using him as a living juice box. It felt too good and for some reason he felt compelled to allow her to continue.
"Kuroka!" Izuku roared out as he stood to his feet.
She simply flipped him off as she continued to feed.
"Let Tenya go now or I'll get Aunt Kokoa involved." He threatened.
She added the other hand. Kuroka had called his bluff. She knew that he would sooner pry her off than snitch to her mom.
The door was then abruptly opened as two adults stepped inside.
The man looked almost identical to Izuku save for his chocolate brown eyes and the trimmed goatee on his chin. He was wearing a black business suit with a red button up shirt, and a black tie with a silver cross design stitched into the tongue. On his feet were black dress shoes with red socks.
The woman was 5'5" in height with long pink hair that reached just below her butt and stunning green eyes. She was wearing black lipstick as her only makeup. Her attire consisted of a white dress and black high heels. (Moka's dress she was wearing before her awakening.) Around her neck was a choker much like Melissa's, but with a silver rosary cross attached to the chain.
This new rosary had been a gift from Tsukune to celebrate their first anniversary as mates. It lacked a seal so it would not weaken her to wear it, but it would act as a symbol of how they met and how they fell in love.
They were the pro hero duo Alucard and Bloodriver. In other words, Izuku's parents.
"Kuroka Shuzen!" Moka shouted in an authoritative tone. "What exactly do you think you are doing!?"
Said vampiress stiffened at being scolded by her aunt and released Tenya immediately. "Feeding from my Mate of Fate." She squeaked. It appeared that Kuroka had a healthy fear and respect for her aunt.
"Getting him off while draining him dry is more like it." Izuku scoffed. Though the sight of his friend looking somewhere between embarrassed to the point of being ready to bolt and recovering from a post orgasm stupor was making it hard not to laugh.
"Either way, you need to understand that what you just did was inappropriate." Moka scolded. "Even if he is your Mate of Fate, you can not just feed from him without his permission."
"But you used to feed from me without consent all the time." Tsukune pointed out.
Moka scoffed and looked away. "That was Omote, not me." She denied in embarrassment.
"At first it was, but after we started to get closer you started doing the same thing. Then you would get embarrassed and reapply the seal to escape the situation. After Omote passed you started jumping me like she used to."
"Damn your great memory, Love. Damn it to hell." Moka pouted.
"Don't be like that my stunning queen of the night." He flirted as he turned her head to face him.
The moment their eyes met, the trance had begun. "Tsukune." Moka cooed, her hand coming to rest on his cheek.
"Moka." He lovingly replied, bringing them closer together.
"Tsukune." She was on her tiptoes now, they were almost there.
Unlike Izuku and Melissa these two had over three centuries of experience with their little love spells. As such, they could speed things up so as to not be interrupted.
"Moka." Tsukune whispered as their lips met in a loving kiss.
"Awwwe!" The girls as well as a few guys cooed at the elder vampire couple. Even Aizawa was simply smiling at the pro duo.
"That'll be us someday soon if you accept me." Kuroka told Tenya in a sincere tone.
He watched the interaction between the centuries old vampires with a fond smile. "I never gave much thought to dating." He told her honestly. "I always thought that as the second son of the Iida family I would be used as a marital pawn to increase our influence. It is simply the way of high society."
Kuroka frowned a bit, but an idea struck her. "I am the youngest daughter of Kokoa Shuzen and the youngest granddaughter of Issa Shuzen. We are an ancient clan of vampires with major influence in all sorts of human and Yokai fields. If it were to be a political marriage, then our influence surpasses your own." She explained as she sat on his desk.
Tenya raised a brow at that. "Meaning we would have to abide by your contract not the other way around." He said in understanding.
She nodded. "My only demand would be that I get to turn you into a vampire. You would retain your quirk in a sense, but you would gain so much more."
"More?" He asked.
"You would gain my strength, which is ludicrous even among vampires. Physically, I am stronger than Izuku and Melissa. The downside is that I can not use Yojutsu because all of my Yoki is converted naturally to strength as if I am constantly using Wealth of Power. You will share in this strength and weakness should we wed."
Tsukune, hearing the conversation, decided to chime in. "Believe me when I tell you this." He began. "This bond isn't something you can ever fully deny. You can try to fight it, but you will be drawn to her like a moth to a flame. She will quickly become your entire world, your reason to live, and your reason to fight. It happened to me on my first day of high school when a pink haired girl ran me over with her bike." His expression turned nostalgic at remembering how he met Omote and later that day his Moka. "At least Kuroka is being straightforward about her intentions, unlike my sister-in-law with her Mate of Fate."
"Which sister-in-law?" Aizawa asked curiously. He'd met all of Tsukune and Moka's sisters when he was an intern at their agency.
"Kahlua." Both elder shinsos deadpanned.
They had only noticed it about three years ago. Kahlua had been filling high-tech syringes with her blood and giving them to one of their mutual friends. A few ounces at a time wouldn't yield a full transformation anytime soon. The problem was that they could feel a small link forming to whoever it was, meaning the transformation was occurring, just at a slow pace. To add to that, the woman seemed entirely unaware of the nature of her connection to whoever this unknown man was. Though they had their suspicions as to his identity.
"The siminar is in an hour, so you'll have thirty minutes to question our guests. If you need anything I'm sure they can help you. I'll be napping in the meantime." With that, Aizawa reentered his sleeping bag and laid down behind his desk.
Kuroka took this opportunity to drag Tenya to the back of the room so they could talk in private. She knew that despite the nature of their new bond, they were still effectively strangers and would need to get to know each other on a more personal level.
They found that they agreed on almost every topic. Their main point of contention was their differing opinions on public displays of affection. This was a hurdle that both would seek to overcome for the sake of their budding future together.
Izuku and Melissa wondered where their airheaded aunt was, but Tsukune and Moka were very tight-lipped about her current whereabouts. They simply stated that she was with her mate.
"Only Aunt Kahlua could be giving her mate doses of her blood without knowing that he's hers." Izuku sighed in annoyance.
Moka nodded to her son's statement. "I know her being so ditzy isn't necessarily her fault, but it is rather annoying at times." The pinkette admitted.
"I honestly think it's funny." Tsukune quipped.
"Personally, I think it's cute that she's so old and still so childish and innocent." Melissa stated with a giggle.
They continued to converse, the vampires introducing their new friends to their parents in the process. Momo was awed by Moka, much like how Melissa had been as a child. Katsuki was very interested in the explosive capabilities of the shinso's Iron Cape. He only ever saw Izuku use that ability once, and that was only a minor use at best.
The siminar itself was over the history of how things used to be and how they progressed to how things are now. It was quite interesting for the majority of the students, especially knowing that two of the most prominent figures in the way today's society functioned were giving the lecture.

Class 1-A
A Few Hours Later
The class was sitting and waiting for their Foundational Heroics teacher to arrive.
The door suddenly burst open and a heroic laugh greeted their ears. "I am here!" The iconic voice of All Might shouted as he entered the room in a bizarre position. "Coming through the door like a normal person!" He finished as he entered the room. (Kahlua healed Toshinori after his battle with All For One that in cannon caused his time limit. He's been using small doses of her blood since giving One For All to Izumi in order to keep the embers of the quirk running. Yes, both are that dumb that they don't realize their fated bond.)
A swarm of bats followed him into the room and began circling next to the pro, forming a small tornado. "I have arrived as a symbol of elegant power!" The unmistakable voice of Kahlua came as the bats formed together into her body, and she struck a sexy pose. She was wearing her usual white dress, with the only addition being a white bat shaped domino mask.
Kuroka simply hopped off of Tenya's desk as she walked to stand with her aunt. "What took you both so long?" She questioned, and both adults blushed beet red. "Never mind, I don't need to know."
Now Izuku and Melissa understood what Tsukune had meant! Kahlua was too innocent and naive while Uncle Might was an absolute dunce when it came to romance!
"Ahem!" All Might cleared his throat into his right fist. "Today, we will be honing your skills with a trial of battle!" The pro exclaimed before pressing a button on a remote. Twenty suitcases popped out of the wall with numbers on them.
"What are those?" Kirishima asked.
"Your hero costumes." Kahlua told the class with a bright smile. "Made to your specifications by the one and only David Shield along with the help of our support course students."
Realization dawned on Melissa at that statement. "That's why Papa is in town!" She exclaimed.
All Might nodded. "He also wanted it to be a surprise for you two. He remade your outfits with better materials and has them waiting in your suitcases."
"I'll have to thank him when class lets out today." Izuku replied with a fanged smile.
The class quickly took their suitcases and headed to get changed.
(All costumes are the same as their cannon first models except Izumi's suit is a green variant of Nana Shimura's suit with the Full-Gauntlets and Full-Greaves replacing the gloves and boots.)
Izuku and Melissa had finished changing first. The couple were sitting on top of a random car that was parked in Ground Beta. Both were in their fully powered states, their Iron Capes active with their glorious wings on full display.
"I hope we get to fight each other." Izuku told his mate.
Melissa nodded in agreement. "It's the only way we could show our full capabilities." She stated with a smirk.
"Not to sound cocky, but nobody else in our class could make us use our full power with the exception of Izumi. We're simply too strong for them after the hellish training we went through."
It was then that they saw everyone. Their costumes looked pretty cool and functional as well.
Once everyone was gathered, Toshinori spoke up as Kahlua brought a box with a hole in the top to each student. "They say the clothes make the hero, and you are all looking very stylish!" He exclaimed with his signature smile. "My initial plan was for urban indoor battle scenarios, but I realized that my idea was a bit too cliché. Instead, we will be drawing lots to create a tournament where you will face off against each other. Of course, we will have an extra participant in the third round, so whoever wishes to fight them for a chance to reenter the brackets may do so."
Everyone took a number from the box when the taller tanned skin vampiress approached them. The matches were as follows:
1) Izuku vs. Sato
2) Kaminari vs. Sero
3) Todoroki vs. Aoyama
4) Asui vs. Ojiro
5) Kirishima vs. Bakugo
6) Yaoyarozu vs. Iida
7) Jiro vs. Uraraka
8) Midoriya vs. Hagakure
9) Tokoyami vs. Ashido
10) Melissa vs. Shoji
The opponents were set, and the battleground was a large parking lot. It had been cleared of cars and debris for a more level surface.
Izuku stepped across from Sato, and both took fighting stances. Sato's stance was just a rudimentary brawling stance. Izuku, on the other hand, took the opening stance of the Goken fighting style.
The male shinso made a 'come here' motion to his opponent with his extended right hand. Sato downed four tubes of sugar, activating his quirk before charging.
Izuku simply awaited his adversary to take a swing at him. And swing Sato did, throwing a powerful punch at the silver haired teen's face. The vampire simply grabbed the attacking arm and threw Sato over his shoulder. This sent the human flying into a light pole and bending the metal in the process.
Not to be taken out by such a weak attempt, the big lipped young man jumped to his feet before charging once more. He tried to throw another punch, but a massive pain in his gut knocked the wind out of his sails. He tried to back up, but Izuku had grabbed tightly to his costume and held him in place.
"That's game." The vampire stated evenly. "I've put the equivalent of one of my gauntlets worth of my Iron Cape on your stomach. If you don't give up, I'll detonate it." He threatened.
"That... would... kill... me..." Sato rasped out. He was confident that the kind-hearted vampire wouldn't knowingly end his life.
His confidence shattered when Izuku smirked wickedly. "I know, but we have Recovery Girl on standby, and if I gave you a few drops of my blood, you would heal right up. So I'm not worried about killing you in the slightest."
Sato looked into Izuku's eyes and only saw truth in them. He raised his right hand to signal his surrender.
"Sato has surrendered! Winner Izuku Aono!" Kahlua cheerily shouted.
Hearing that, Izuku released his classmate. "Sorry about that, but you could have called my bluff." He admitted, showing that there was no metal on Sato at all.
"You were bluffing!?" The muscular teen exclaimed. "You looked and sounded dead serious."
"I'd never risk killing a friend, and I would never willingly put myself in a position to need to share my blood with anyone but Melli or our own children." The shinso explained.
Sato nodded in understanding. "A vampire's blood is their most sacred treasure, so I should have figured as much."
They shook hands and let the next competitors take the stage.
Kaminari managed to win, but at the cost of temporarily frying his brain. He was booted from the tournament for his quirk's drawback. The electricity user was lucky that Aizawa hadn't witnessed that reckless display or there would be consequences.
Todoroki won his fight as soon as it began by freezing Aoyama in a varitable iceberg. Afterward, he quickly melted the ice, and All Might got rid of the water with the air pressure from a single punch.
Ojiro managed to defeat Tsu due to his higher skills in combat, but it was still a hard fight for the tailed blonde.
Bakugo won against Kirishima through the brute force of his explosive power. It did take a bit of time, but that just left both impressed with the other's tenacity, and a new friendship was formed.
Momo had taken her friends' suggestions to heart and won by blinding Tenya with a couple of flash bangs before capturing him with a magnetic net launcher.
Kuroka was very supportive of Tenya after his loss and told him that he couldn't have expected something as crazy as that. The blunette took it in stride, asking her to help him train after school. She agreed instantly before taking a sip of his blood with his permission this time.
Jiro and Ochako's match wasn't even close. The brunette had almost instantly been overwhelmed by the ear splitting noise from the rocker's boot speakers. She was forced to surrender or risk permanent hearing damage.
The next match went even faster. Izumi stomped the ground to create dust that she could use to see Hagakure moving around. From there, she caught the other girl in an armbar and forced her to surrender.
Mina couldn't get close to Tokoyami, with Darkshadow constantly attacking her. It was ultimately a one-sided fight that ended in the bird boy's favor.
Melissa and Shoji stepped into position. To the vampiress, this would be an easy match, but the masked teen said something that had her fuming.
"Could you please forfeit? I don't want to hit a woman." Shoji politely requested with a bow.
The vampiress growled. "Don't insinuate that just because I'm a woman, it means that I'm weak." She growled out. "If anything, you need to surrender before I humiliate you in front of our entire class."
"I know you're stronger than me." He admitted. "I just don't like hitting girls. It feels wrong."
"What if you come across a vilainess threatening to hurt or worse, kill people? Are you going to wait on the sidelines for a heroine to show up, or will you take her down yourself?" She questioned in a cold tone.
Shoji didn't even hesitate to respond. "I'd fight. My own personal biases hold no value in the face of innocent lives."
"Then apply that same logic here. I'm the villainess threatening innocent people! You are the hero here to stop me!" She shouted, pointing to Shoji in a dramatic fashion.
He nodded, spreading his webbed arms wide in a show of intimidation. The nodes formed extra copies of his muscular arms, and he shouted in return. "Prepare yourself, villain! For you face Tenticole!"
Melissa let her power out in full force, creating a tornado of violent Yoki and black bats. "Try to defeat me if you can, Octoboy." She then disappeared in a red flash, teleporting right in front of her opponent. The vampiress landed a viscious kick to the underside of his chin, sending him skyward.
"Did she just use Hiraishin into a Primary Lotus!?" Kirishima shouted in shock.
"That's so cool!" Kaminari exclaimed.
Not letting up, Melissa teleported above Shoji and landed another hard drop kick to the back of his head. "Vampiric Barrage!" She shouted out the name of her combo as her heel made contact. Landing, the usually blonde vampiress struck a haughty, Moka-esque pose. "Know your place." She commanded.
Izuku would have a bye in the next round due to Kaminari's expulsion from the tournament for his reckless use of his quirk. Todoroki would win his next match in much the same way he won the last one.
Katsuki managed to defeat Momo with sheer overwhelming power and skill. Jiro was a non-threat to Izumi due to the massive gap in strength and fighting ability. Training with stupidly powerful vampires had its benefits after all.
Tokoyami fought hard, but the sheer strength, speed, and skill that Melissa possessed was simply too much for the edgy teen to handle. It was clear to him that the only one here who could defeat the vampiress was her own mate.
"Due to Kaminari's expulsion from the tournament, there are an even number of participants. Therefore, no one will be allowed back in." All Might informed the class.
This was the match Todoroki had been waiting for. He would defeat this vampire using only his mother's quirk and show everyone that he didn't need friends or love to be strong. He was strong on his own.
Izuku was having the exact opposite thought process. 'I'll beat you, offer friendship, then punch you in the face for hurting a kind woman like Momo.' He thought with a smirk.
"What's with that smirk? You can't beat me, so I don't know why you would smirk like that." Todoroki questioned evenly.
"I'm smirking because you can't possibly win here. You're half assing your fights by only relying on your ice. Further you delibieratly ignore people who only want to be your friends." Izuku explained, his smirk becoming a frown. "Finally, you're ignoring your wife, and that pisses me off!"
That last statement had the bicolored teen legitimately confused. "Aren't you trying to seduce my wife? Why would you care if my marriage fails? Wouldn't that be a good thing for you?" He asked with a growl.
"Since you haven't been listening up until now, I'll reiterate for you. I'm only interested in my wife. Melli is my Mate of Fate. The one woman I need. The one woman I want. She's my perfect partner in every way."
"Then why have you been getting so close to Momo?"
"Because we're friends, you dumbass! Momo and Melli hit it off right away, and our power is very similar to her quirk. We've been building her confidence since her supposed husband is failing to do so." The male shinso elaborated. "You took a vow to love and support Momo! A vow that you've never upheld! I take promises very seriously! Especially to your spouse! That kind of promise should always be kept!"
"It was an arranged marriage. There was no love or promises involved." Todoroki stated, and Momo began to cry. He glanced at her from the corner of his eye. For some reason, his heart clenched at the sight of her tears.
"Arranged or not, she loves you! If you can't see that or you can't return her feelings. Then that's fine, but I refuse to let you trample on the heart of a girl who accepted you for all of your faults and still wants to show you the love and compassion that you were obviously denied growing up!" He roared out. He could hear Melissa comforting Momo, and his mate's anger was beginning to leak into his own emotions.
Izuku took a fighting stance and prepared for the battle ahead. "Enough talking! It's clear that words alone won't get through to you, so I'll just kick your ass and show you that love is what makes us truly strong. My love versus your self-imposed solitude."
"Begin!" Kahlua shouted with a downward swing of her arm.
Todoroki tried to stop Izuku's quick advance by capturing him in ice like his previous opponents, but the vampire was too fast. He simply teleported behind him and delivered a fierce punch to his jaw that nearly broke it. Following that up with a quick roundhouse kick, the bicolored teen was almost unconscious.
Izuku waited for the idiot to regain his bearings before closing the distance once more. Walls of ice were erected in an attempt to slow him, but his wings grew blades and sliced through them with ease. Once more, the vampire sent the human flying through the air barely conscious.
Again, the shinso waited. He planned to beat Todoroki until he accepted the error of his ways. Fighting Melli would allow him to vent his frustrations for these easy matches, but until then, he had a friend and a marriage to save.
"Get up! If you ever want to see her smile again, you'll get up and face me with everything you have!" Izuku demanded angrily. "Use your quirk! The components came from your parents, but this quirk belongs to you and you alone! Momo belongs to you! You belong to her! Go back to the kind-hearted boy she fell in love with all those years ago!"
Shoto lay there, listening to the immortal berating and demanding him. It all hurt... His heart... His body... His mind... They all hurt. Then he turned his head. He could see Momo. His Momo. She was smiling at him, the tears he'd caused her still in her eyes.
"You can do it, Shoto-kun!" She cheered once she noticed him looking at her. "I love you!"
The sounds of chains breaking were heard in his mind... Her words reverberated in his head. Over and over and over again. Until finally... they snapped, and he was free. Free of the burdens of his blood. He is free of his hatred for his father. Free of the pain caused by his mother.
A forgotten childhood promise played out in his mind. 'When we grow up, I'll make you my wife so I can always see your pretty smile, Momo-chan!' The voice of a young Shoto shouted in joy.
The voice of a young Momo cheered happily. 'We'll be the happiest couple ever, Shoto-kun!'
Burning orange fire erupted from his left side as white frost emerged from his right. He shakily stood to his feet. One thought breaking through the haze in his mind. 'I love you too, Momo-chan. I'm sorry I forgot our promise, but now I remember. I promise that I'll make it up to you for hurting you so much due to my hatred for my father. He will no longer rule our life.' He decided now was the time.
"You may win, but I'll make you use your full power too now that you've freed my heart." This would be his first named attack. He brought up both of his hands and pointed them at his opponent, his first friend outside of Momo.
"Frostfire Cannon!" Shoto shouted, releasing the torrent of flames and ice toward Izuku.
The vampire decided to counter the attack with one of his own. He channeled a massive amount of Yoki into his right arm. His gauntlet doubled in size as more explosive armor was packed onto it. "Vampiric Devastation!" He shouted as his fist collided with the wave of heat and cold. The gauntlet detonated, causing a massive blast of air pressure to plow through the oncoming attack.
But it didn't stop there. The blast from Izuku's counter blew Shoto off of his feet and into a car at the edge of the lot. He was unconscious as soon as he hit the sedan.
Shoto only had time for one last thought before his world went dark. 'Thank you, Izuku Aono, for freeing me from my self-made shackles of my family's blood.'
All Might quickly took his student to Recovery Girl. Returning ten minutes later, the class was informed that Shoto would be fine. Momo left to go be with her husband, but before leaving, she thanked Izuku for helping her Shoto. It was just for a brief moment, but she caught a glimpse of the boy she loved coming to the surface. For that, she would be eternally grateful.
The fight between Izumi and Katsuki was explosive, to say the least. The blonde bomber used his suit's special attack but missed both times as Izumi simply sped and flew to dodge them. It ended when she landed a fourty percent Detroit Smash to her boyfriend's stomach.
Katsuki was offered the chance to be healed and fight Melissa, but he declined. He knew that the vampiress was out of his league, and his relationship with Izumi had mellowed him out enough to accept that he would likely never defeat her.
Izuku offered to let Izumi and Melissa duke it out. It was nothing against fighting women. He just knew how much fun his mate and their best friend had sparring. The two could absolutely kick the crap out of each other without having to hold back in the slightest.
The women agreed, and All Might approved of the decision. The condition being that if Melissa lost, then it would count as Izuku's loss as well. The two were pretty much equal in power and skill by now, so it stood to reason that if Izumi could beat Melissa, then she most likely could defeat Izuku as well.
Their fight lasted for almost an hour. Both young women gave it their all trying to knock the other out. Ultimately, it came down to a contest of stamina. This led to Melissa's victory as she had enough stamina to fight her mate for days on end.
Izuku and Melissa agreed to call things a draw. They had no desire to traumatize their friends with the brutal way they fought when sparring. While it was true that they would never intentionally hurt each other. They considered sparring their one exception. The shinso couple had no qualms about indulging in their love of each other's blood through brutally ripping each other apart in a sparring session.
After getting changed, the vampiric duo left to go check on Shoto and Momo in Recovery Girl's office.
~~X~~
Infirmary
The vampires stood in the doorway, gawking at what they were baring witness to. Momo was straddling Shoto as they made out. The raven-haired girl's hero costume had been removed from her shoulders and was pooling around her waist. This gave both immortals a full view of her large breasts being squished into her husband's chest.
"Ahem!" Izuku cleared his throat to get his friends' attention. The effect was instantaneous.
Shoto created an ice wall while Momo created a blanket to cover herself with an embarrassed shriek.
"H-h-how long have you been standing there!?" The creation quirk user screamed in embarrassment.
"I made our presence known pretty much as soon as we arrived." Izuku assured her.
"Besides, it isn't like we find either of you attractive in a romantic sense." Melissa added. The slightly offended look she received in return almost made the blonde vampiress laugh. "No offense meant, of course." She amended.
"After we accept our Mate of Fate, we are physically incapable of having romantic feelings for anyone else. My grandfather had even planned to abandon my aunts and his other wife when he met my grandmother. It was only my grandmother's pleading for him to stay for his daughters, which made him stay with his other wife." Izuku explained to their friends.
The human couple had made themselves decent while under the blanket and now felt glad that the vampires had been the ones to catch them. They didn't even want to consider what would have happened if Recovery Girl had caught them instead.
"In any case, you should both get changed back into your uniforms. Training is over for today." Melissa informed them. She then grabbed Momo's hand and began to drag her out of the room.
The guys watched their wives leave with loving smiles. Izuku looked to Shoto and extended his hand for a shake. "I'm glad to see that you resolved whatever issue you were having. Friends?" He asked.
Shoto firmly nodded, accepting the handshake, but then pulled the vampire into a tight hug. "Brothers." He corrected.
Izuku chuckled and returned the hug. "Fine, brothers." He agreed. "Just know that you've made yourself a brother to Katsuki and Izumi with that demand."
They separated, both laughing lightly.
"What was your issue anyway?" The shinso bluntly asked.
"Have you ever heard of quirk marriages?" Shoto asked.
"Yeah, but they aren't anything good."
Shoto nodded in agreement. "My siblings and I are the products of a quirk marriage. Our father, Endeavor, could never surpass All Might or your parents on his own, so he switched to plan B. He bought my mother and made her have children until he got the ideal combination of their quirks. Me." He explained, softly touching his scar when he mentioned his mother.
"Quirk marriages were outlawed like fifty years ago due to the psychological trauma it put on the purchased party! It drove a bunch of people, the kids included, into suicide!" Izuku raged.
Shoto nodded sadly. "My mother had a mental breakdown and splashed boiling water on my face. That's how I got this scar."
Izuku was appalled by that. He understood that anyone could do horrible things when their mental health was in decline. Training was one thing, but a mother willingly hurting her child was straight up unacceptable! "It was still wrong! No child should be delibieratly hurt by their parents just for existing!" He shouted in sympathetic anger.
"She turned herself over to the police right after and is still in a mental hospital today. I want to go visit her and tell her that I'm happy and it wasn't her fault, but I think if I brought a friend for support it would be easier." Shoto explained, giving Izuku a hopeful look.
He smiled at his new brother. "Fine, I'll go for moral support. Can't leave my newest bro hanging now. Can I?"
They left to get changed and explain their plans to their wives. Shoto asked Izuku if he should take Momo's family name to further distance himself from his father. The vampire told his friend that it was up to him, but he would personally.
Momo and Melissa were supportive of their ideas, and the girls decided to grab Ochako and Izumi to have a shopping trip.
Izuku and Shoto's visit with Rei went surprisingly well. She had apparently already been talking with Endeavor over the past few months in secret. They had discussed Enji's many wrongdoings, and he'd decided to retire once Shoto graduated.
The number two hero had this change of heart when his older son, Natsuo, had brought a blue haired girl home saying that they were getting married. It was a wake-up call for Enji that he'd missed too much of his children's lives by being an asshole. Shoto had already moved out by then, so he'd had no idea of the changes going on within the Todoroki family.
Rei had decided to leave the mental hospital but held off until she could gain Shoto's forgiveness. She hadn't been expecting him to hug her and cry tears of joy after her explanation. Saying that it wasn't her fault. The mother and son hugged while crying out their sorrows. Shoto went on to tell his mother of his marriage to Momo and how he was planning to take her family name since she was the heiress to the Yaoyarozu Corporation and he wanted her to receive her birthright. She was fine with her youngest son's decision and demanded to meet his wife as soon as possible.
An explanation was given as to who and what Izuku was and why he was there. It warmed Rei's heart to know that her son had made such a great friend. It only saddened her that he was already married and monogamous, so she couldn't try to set him up with Fuyumi. Truth be told, he was exactly her daughter's type. Strong, smart, kind, and a bleeding heart romantic through and through.
