A/N: For those who have read my 'tagged chapter', can you guess what I am referring to by the chapter's title.
Let the story begin!

3rd Person POV

The greenette ran, his majorly modified red sneakers (now fully functional combat boots) hitting the floor at an ever accelerating pace, the steel tipped toes making no sound. His  arms stretched behind him, hands curled upwards, cradling a small pair of legs. He was leaning forward slightly to make it easier to support the extra weight - though it wasn't that difficult in the first place. Izuku's hair rustled in the wind, the beautiful emerald mixing with the shadowy black. Behind him, white hair cascaded like a snowy river, the ends flicking outwards. Eri's smile was wide. The cold made her cheeks flush a bright pink. Young Midoriya (crap, my All Might is showing), however, was used to the sensation. His thrashing hair somehow still managed to cradle his face as he smirked, mocking the wind for not being able to cover his freckled face with a red hue.

Well...

He smirked as best as he could with equipment in his mouth.

This had been his second trip into the woods after dropping the first set of equipment off. Eri had offered to help multiple times but the teen had always refused. He'd left his cameras and laptop in a nearby clearing. His speaker and guitar were also there, waiting. All that was left to be brought  were the cords, cables and an over excited seven year old. Not to mention Eri's special headphones. Our resident broccoli had made them especially for the baby cauliflower. They were able to sensor swears in any song. He hadn't been able to make them sensor swears in dialogue though.
Me: Basically make it bakugou proof
He had only finished them recently meaning this would be the first time Eri got to hear Izuku sing during a recording. He had only really sang one other song to her before today, and though tbe song is (to Eri at the very least) amazing, the circumstances in which the teen would have to sing it weren't the greatest. Midoriya seemed to sense the little girl's thoughts wandering.

"Hey Eri! We're almost there!" he said, the wind carrying his voice away.

Eri immediately perked up, the excitement finding it's way back to her previously stoic face. Izuku giggled at the girl's bubbliness; it reminded him greatly of his old self.

...old self...

They arrived at the clearing. Izuku's equipment seemed to be untampered with. He set Eri down on a tree stump and passed her a juice box. She sucked on it happily, bouncing on her heels. Izuku turned away and began fiddling with the cords and plucking at his guitar strings, testing the sound. He was about to press play on the live stream when a shrill shriek filled the air.

Eri!!!!

Izuku whirled around. He had made the stupid mistake of not bringing any weapons. He mentally cursed himself...

*sigh* he should have known.


A black haired wolf stood crouched over Eri, its teeth pulled back in a sharp toothed and proud grin. A paw print sat majestically in the centre of it's forehead, letting off a slight glow in the dimly lit area. Sky greys, deep sea blues, fiery red and earthly greens  swirled in the glowing void. It was fairly large, obviously an adult. It's inky black nose had a wet feeling to it as it buried it's snout into the unsuspecting child's neck....




































CLIFF HANGER!!!! Jk jk.





































Eri let out a little giggle.
Izuku dropped his guard, setting down the electric guitar that he had been brandishing like a sword.

"How do you do, Erementaru megami?" the teen cooed in a posh accent as he bowed, twirling his hands in a dramatic flourish.

The she-wolf's grin fell, a glare filled with mock annoyance replacing it. She scooted off if the downed child and licked her face affectionately before trotting over to the still bowing greenette. She swatted his hand away and collapsed on top of him, swishing her large tail over his face.

"Only those who fear or respect me call me that." she joked, tipping in laughter as the teen beneath her coughed and spluttered.

"You're right. And I don't do either, now do I,  Yoso?"
Izuku flipped the wolf over, switching their positions. Then Yoso flipped him. This kept happening until they were literally rolling in the dewy grass of the clearing. They came to an abrupt halt as Eri leapt onto the rolling pile of fluff.

Izuku managed to wriggle his way out. He brushed himself off.
"So....How's the pack? And Baby Hebi?" Izuku questioned

"HEY! I AIN'T A BABY!" a voice screeched angrily from a tree nearby.
A white rope slowly began uncoiling from the tree trunk. It slithered towards Izuku's outstretched hand. Blue eyes shone mischievously as it drew near, an idea forming.

Izuku POV

Baby Hebi (a 6 month old leucistic ball python) came closer. I could already see the devilish glint in his icy blue eyes.
He thinks he's slick...
He is probably going to try and prick my finger with one of his minor paralyzing venom as payback for calling him a baby. Well, I know just what to do.

3rd Person POV

The snake was now fully wrapped around Izuku's hand. It smiled sweetly at him, showing it's small baby fangs.
Me: Hebi is probably gonna kill me for calling him a baby so much...eh. Back to the story.
He flung his scaly head down towards the teens thumb and nicked it with his tooth.............he whimpered in pain.

"Aww...Babwy Hebi nicked his twooth." Izuku said, smirking.
In the snake's haste to set his plan of revenge into motion, he didn't notice the sewing thimble under Midoriya's gloves.

"...that was a dirty trick..."

Izuku let out a hearty laugh and cuddled the snake, much to the rebellious baby's annoyance.

"So, yeah. How's the pack been doing without me, Yoso? The Cubs better be behaving. Any knew cubs? How have you been holding up with your quirk. Do you need any help training the other wolves' quirks. I'm always happy to help. I've missed you guys. How are you holding up as leader. Well, technically I am the pack leader but...."

The mumbling went on for quite a while. That is...until the greenette felt a small jab in his leg. He looked down to see an impatient little girl bouncing around.

...He had completely forgotten why they had come out into the forest in the middle of the night in the first place.....

'Crap' he thought....

He had angered the cauliflower...

Wassssup!
Sorry that took so long. School has been...school. (cough...tiring...cough)
But yeh.
Over 1000 words not including this bit. Be proud cuz I am. ;)
Thx for all tbe support. Imma just say now that some events that happen in the anime will happen at a younger age or maybe even not at all...BUT I CAN'T SPOIL IT!!!

If u find any mistakes that have slipped through me re-reading this 50 times (sips 25th mug of coffee) then don't hesitate to tell me.
