A/N This Chapter is just Izuku and Shoka together, This chapter is for transition
Izuku and Shoka were walking over to a shopping street with Shoka hugging Izukus arm. She was happy that she could finally hug Izuku and him accept her with a smile but once they got close to where they were going she looked a bit sad, eyeing the very noticeable limp Izuku had
"Hey Shoka you ok? why the long face?" Izuku asks
"It just... seeing you walk with a limp... i feel bad for what Shoto did to you" Shoka states
"Hey don't worry about it, it's not your fault, Besides i'll likely regain full control by next morning" Izuku said petting her
"W-Well... Ok, but anyway where are we going?" Shoka asked Blushing a bit with Izuku petting her
"Some places we used go to back then, You want a chance for me to forgive you, well this would be the best setting to see if you really have changed" Izuku said
"Ok, Izu i'll do my best" Shoka said
After a bit they were at a shopping distract
"So Shoka, what would you like todo?" Izuku asked
"W-Wha? You want me to chose?" Shoka said surprised
"Well yeah, this is your chance to show me that you've changed so i'll follow your lead" Izuku states
"W-Well.... I wanted... to see what you like to do" Shoka states
"How so?" Izuku asks
"I barely can remember anything about you and.... I want... to get you know you better" Shoka said her face turning red
"Well if you insist, then lets head here" Izuku said pointing to a game shop
They head in with Izuku wondering if Shoka would actually be interested in this
"Shoka you really sure about me bring us around?" Izuku asks
'Yeah, i am besides... i uhh... kinda took a liking to games too" Shoka admits which surprised Izuku
"Really? Well what genre?" Izuku asks
"Mainly games you played actually. After you left we found that old console we used to play on and i asked dad to buy me some games.... It was.... Kinda like being connected to you a little" Shoka said
"Well, maybe i'll tell Hana about this, she plays alot of the games i did, i'm sure she'd like to play a few with you" Izuku said
"Yeah sure, but only if you play with me" Shoka says
After that the two of them browse around the store, with Shoka really surprising Izuku with how much she knows about gaming, who would have thought a Girl like Shoka was into games
"Geez Shoka you really surprise me with your knowledge of Games" Izuku says as they headed out of the shop after paying for a few games Shoka suggested
"Well.... I got desperate to do something .... to... ignore the pain" Shoka said in a sad tone
"Pain?! Shoka what do you---*Realizes* ...Oh... Shoka... all i can say is i'm sorry" Izuku says putting his arm around her
"N-No, you really need to stop doing this all the time, it was my fault not yours" Shoka said
The two of them walked around a little more not talking until They heard Shoka's stomach grumble
"Well looks like your hungry, come on there's a soba Shop over there, i know it's you favorite" Izuku says using this to help lighten the mood
Shoka face immediately lit up, not only about the Soba but that Izuku still remembers it's her favorite food, so they head in, went to a table and ordered
"So Izu, have you taken the others out on dates?" Shoka asked
"Yeah i have, well all but Izumi since i didn't have the time to" Izuku replied
"T-This kinda... Feels like... A D-Date" Shoka says blushing
"Well if you want to think of it like that go ahead, whatever make you happy" Izuku says with a smile, make Shoka blush more
"We are just trying to have fun with each other and get to know each other, So really... Yeah this is a date" Izuku restated
This made Shoka even more flustered that Izuku agrees with her about this being a date not a hangout
Then the food they ordered showed up
"U-Uh, L-Let's eat" Shoka said trying to change subject as the two started to eat
"Looks like your enjoying yourself" Izuku said seeing the smile Shoka had eating the soba
"Look at yourself Izu, you enjoying it just as much" Shoka said blushing
The two of them laughed and after a bit they finished eating and having a small argument with who was paying, with Izuku eventually agreeing for Shoka to pay since he bought those games earlier
"Alright, where to now still got time left in the day" Izuku said
"How about that Café we used to go to back then, Still kinda hungry" Shoka asked
"Ok, sure" Izuku said as they headed out
While on there way Izuku got a call from Winston
"Shoka i be right back, Yeah Winston what is it?" Izuku saying leaving Shoka out to wait
"Hey Izuku, sorry to bother but about that plan you had for UA internships" Winston said
"Yeah, well what's the status?" Izuku asked
"We have most of the pods ready but we need those blueprints again about the Neural link" Winston said
"Sure i give them to you la---" Izuku said but was cut off hearing a scream
"IZU!! HELP!!!" Shoka screamed
"Shoka!" Izuku yelled rushing out and saw Shoka being dragged away by a group of guys
"Come on hottie you know you want to" One of the guys said groping Shoka's chest
"Hey! get off her!!" Izuku said knocking the guys away from Shoka a bit
"So this is your Boyfriend? What a loser, Come one Baby lets take you somewhere nice and private" one of the guys said and there group flashed there quirks in a show of strength
"I'd Suggest you four leave, Now!" Izuku stated
"Oh, what are you gonna do Uh Dipshit" One of the guys said
"Yeah how can you be a match, your the one that should back off and let us take that hottie there" Another one of the guys said
"This is your last warning, before things could get a little ugly" Izuku said releasing a small bit of His Black aura
"Yeah right" The Group all go to grab Shoka again then Izuku releasing out his aura
"BACK OFF!" Izuku yelled as he strikes the three of them in the neck knocking them out
"Shoka you ok?" Izuku says suppressing the aura and going to her
"Y-Yeah, I'm fine Izu, Thank you... But... When did you get so scary" Shoka asked
"Someone other Izu... Touched me" Shoka thought putting her hand on her chest
"Oh, sorry if that scared you. It's related to that Black Dragon you saw me turn into during the festival" Izuku says
"Well, what are you going to do with them" Shoka asks still scared
"Don't worry, Winston you still there?" Izuku says
"Yes i am, i heard everything, the police should be there within the minute" Winston said
"Thank Winston, and back to what we were saying early, i'll sent the blueprint later today" Izuku said as he ended the call
"Izu, How were you talking with Winston? you don't have a phone out?" Shoka asked
"Oh is cause of this i'm wearing, actually, let me give you one" Izuku say's going into his duffle bag (That i completely forgot to mention) and Gave her this
"What is it?" Shoka asked putting it on then being bombarded by information
"Whoa, take a breath Shoka, I can this the Augma, what this does is in short terms is augment what you see around you" Izuku said
"Wow, Just what can it do?" Shoka ask seeing all the info displayed to her
"I have plans for alot more stuff, but currently it can act as a phone, shows you constant weather updates, and can alert you of your surroundings" Izuku explained (Basically Izuku can make both the Augma Eiji had, where Eiji could see people's movements and the normal one everyone else had in the SAO movie)
"You made this?" Shoka asked Stunned
"Yeah, with the help of Winston, It was originally planned for Operations use, which it still is, but Nejire later convinced me to make them for more social use" Izuku said
"Why are you giving me one though?" Shoka asked
"Because it can or at least this version can alert you of threats and can help you in a fight" Izuku said
They then tied up the group of guys and left them to the police and spent the next 10 minutes, with Izuku showing Shoka how the Augma works and can help her in fights and showed her all the other major things it can do
Eventually they made to the café they wanted to and sat under an umbrella and has the waitress take there order
"Well, that's about all the important things about the Augma, how you holding up with it?" Izuku asked
"It's just amazing Izu, you can do so many things with it, Have you thought of giving it out to UA or even the public?" Shoka asked
"Well, For UA yes i have, but the Public i'd have to deal with alot of political stuff for that to happen" Izuku stated
"Well, you should bring these to Principal Nezu about them" Shoka said
"Glad, you like it so much... But... Changing Subject... I've wanted to asked just how was your family after i left" Izuku said in a serious tone
"..... They were devastated, especially Mom. You were like the Son she wished she had, You were the one that keep her together and was the one that brought back her Smile. When you left she nearly had a mental breakdown from the shock... Mom... Blamed herself in part of why you left. Dad actually started to be there for Mom, never thought he would" Shoka stated
"Yeah, i remember what Auntie said when i saw her in Overwatch, As for Endeavor i think me being there for Auntie helped him change" Izuku said
Then there orders came, Izuku had Some water with a few slices of blueberry pie, While Shoka had a cold coffee and two muffins
"Well how about Fuyumi and Natsuo?" Izuku asked
"Natsuo avoided me while Fuyumi, She scolded me alot about it, for a while i just.... stayed in my room, to not be a bother. But eventually Mom started to talk to me and... She accepted me after what i did to you.... and eventually i started to get back Fuyumi and Natsuo trust" Shoka explained
"That's great for you, Auntie.... She's almost just like me with how kind she is" Izuku states
"Yeah, i feel like she got that from you Izu, Mom was always kind, but after Mom met you and you put her back together, Mom did become alot more kind" Shoka said
The two of them continued to eat and chat until they finished up there food
"So, What would you like todo now Shoka?" Izuku asked
"C-Can we head over to the Beach.... It always looked amazing with the Sun set" Shoka asked
"I want to replace that memory of what we did to Izu on that Beach" Shoka thought
"Sure, but to save time were gonna have to do this" Izuku said grabbing the ODM gear he had in the Duffle bag, putting it on and picking up Shoka bride style
"I-I-Izu W-What Are You--??!" Shoka asked panicking with embarrassment
"Calm down, i'm gonna get us there with the ODM gear, So hold on tight Shoka" Izuku said as he shot a cable to a tree and fly up with Shoka holding on to him
Shoka was of course embarrassed but was also happy being held by Izuku like a princess
After about 5 minutes they landed at the Beach with the Sun just starting to go down, the two of them went to the shore line and sat looking at the Sun submerging into the sea
(Like This but on the Beach not Ship and remove the Islands)
"It's... So Beautiful" Shoka said laying her head on Izuku's shoulder
"Yeah, it sure is" Izuku replied petting her
"I wish... we did this back then... rather then.... What we did to you here" Shoka said holding a tear
"Yeah, But at least today we did, right" Izuku said trying to be the voice of positivity
"There you go again always trying to be nice" Shoka said
"Well, no one ever said being nice is a bad thing" Izuku said with a smile
After a bit the sun had fully set with the Moon slowly coming up
"So, Shoka did you enjoy that" Izuku asked
"Yeah, i'm glad we could have a good memory here" Shoka replied
"Well, i should get you back home, it's pretty late" Izuku said readying his ODM gear
"Wait.... Theres... One more place i'd like to go" Shoka said
"Where?" Izuku asked
"...W-Where.... Everything Changed" Shoka said
TimeSkip
Izuku and Shoka were now where Shoka requested, The swing set
"Why'd you want to come here?" Izuku asked
Shoka didn't respond, She went over to the Swing set that still had a dent in it when Katsuki blasted Izuku of the Swing seat and it to it and the Swing seat still had burn marks on it from her burning Izuku
"This, was where everything started" Izuku said going to Shoka's side
"Yeah.... This.... Is where We, I... Hurt you" Shoka said starting to cry
"I regret ever doing this, Looking back it was so obvious what we were doing was wrong, Me, Katsumi and Izumi helped you but still.... We... I... Should have never agreed to it" Shoka said crying
She then went and faced Izuku
"I wish i could take it all back, I wish i actually protected you and cared for you.... And... The nightmares.... of you lying there....Dead.... because of me" Shoka stated
"...." Izuku didn't respond, letting Shoka let out the Hurt she'd been holding in this whole time
"I-I...I love you Izu, I always Loved you!!,I know your with the others!! but... all i wanted was to be with you" Shoka stated as Izuku hugged her
Shoka cried her heart out with Izuku comforting her the best he could, Izuku wasn't really surprised about Shoka's confession, following Izumi's confession
"Shoka, Don't stay anchored to your past actions, it's what you do now here in the present that will define who you are. You did something that most would never forgive you for, but you've shown that you regret doing it, But you can't let that shame consume you. Like i said in the Festival, If you want me to Forgive you, First you must forgive yourself, or else my forgiveness will mean nothing in the long run" Izuku explained
Shoka continued to cry, Screaming "Im sorry" again and again. Izuku stayed by her side hugging her, showing the care that would help mend her broken heart
After a little bit Shoka eventually calmed down enough to speak clearly
"S-Sorry about that... Izu" Shoka said still letting out a few tears
"Don't worry about it, it's fine" Izuku said wiping her tears making her Blush
"Izu... About what i said... I really do feel that way towards you. I really do love you, ever since we were kids" Shoka readmits
"Then, why did you along with the other do all that to me, i've never been able to figure that out" Izuku asked
"We were... I was scared, Scared of losing you. You know as well as i that being a hero is dangerous, and since your quirkless it Scared Me, Katsumi and Izumi that you could be killed being a hero. Shoto said to us that it was a necessary evil to keep you safe" Shoka explains
"Well. I do understand you being scared of me being a hero, But if you wanted to go that route of fighting me... The main thing you had todo was first talk to me about it" Izuku stated
"W-What do you mean by that?" Shoka asked surprised
"What you could have done was, talk to me about your fears, Then after you could then challenged me to a formal fight. Doing that, it could have actually made me change my mind about being a hero since i would have known the reason why you were doing that to me and i'd never would have wanted to leave you guys" Izuku explained
Shoka didn't know what to say, Izuku had just in some way agreed with what they did to him, and informed her of how they could have made him change his mind about being a hero without Izuku leaving them or growing resentful of them
"I-I... I Don't know what to say.... I'm Sorry" Shoka said
"Again, it's fine, now come on let's get you back home" Izuku said with a smile
Izuku them again picked Shoka up and Fly over to Shoka houses with the ODM gear and landed down the block from her house
"Izu.... Thank for giving me this chance and... For helping me too" Shoka said bowing
"Don't mention it, today was alot of fun" Izuku stated
"T-Then... Izu..... Can you..... Forgive me?" Shoka asked scared
"Hmm, She has shown how much she's changed. And she suffered so much after a left... Should I?" Izuku thought
"Yeah you should" Nana suddenly said in Izukus mind
"WHAT, N-Nana how are you talking to me? your in your own body?!!" Izuku said
"Were still connected to each other through OFA, so i can still do this" Nana stated
"Uh, Ok... But you really think i should forgive her now?" Izuku asked
"Yeah, since the Festival and your match with her, i can see that she really does deserve it, Besides you did spend the day and had a pretty good time with her" Nana said
"....Well, OK fine, thanks Nana" Izuku said
"Izu?" Shoka said snapping Izuku back into reality
"Oh Uh, Yeah Shoka, Sorry i was just thinking" Izuku stated
"It's ok... But... Izu... if you don't think i deserve to be forgiven .... I'll understand" Shoka said looking down
"....Shoka" Izuku said
"Y-Yes... Izu" Shoka replied shacking a bit
"Shoka..... I Forgive you" Izuku stated
Shoka frozen for a second and looked at him, eye's widen
"R-R-Really!" Shoka asked about to cry
"Yes, you showed me how much you changed, and as you know.... I never liked making people sad from the choices i make" Izuku states
"Izu.... IZU!" Shoka yelled going to hug him
"Thank You!, Thank you!, I promise i'll never hurt you again!!" Shoka yelled
Izuku hugged her back, while Shoka being happy, finally able to feel Izuku's caring Hug again.
Shoka then let go with Izuku still holding on to her as Shoka then went in for a kiss, but was stopped with Izuku putting his hand over her mouth
"Sorry Shoka but you can't do that just yet" Izuku said letting go of her
"Oh, Uhh right, i'm sorry" Shoka said bowing to him
"Look, Shoka it's not that i don't love you to" Izuku said making Shoka face light up a bit
"It's just, you have to talk to the others, mainly Nejire and Eri about this" Izuku added
"Really" Shoka asked hopeful
"Yeah.... They all talked to each other about it and.... They agreed that.... if any girl were to be with me, they have to talk with them, with Nejire having a final say" Izuku states embarrassed
"That why did you also say Eri?" Shoka asked
"Because Eri, tends to be a big reason why Nejire let the others be with me" Izuku stated in a defeated tone
"So i need there Approval and then i can be with you?" Shoka asks
"Yeah, but i get the feeling Nejire's not gonna be very hard to convince" Izuku states
"You got that right Izuku" Nana say's in his head
"Alright, Izu, i will prove it to them" Shoka said determined
"Very well, now come on i think Aunties waiting at the door for you" Izuku say's looking over to the house
"Ok, Goodnight Izu" Shoka said and head off but was stopped by Izuku who grabbed and kissed her on the cheek
"There's my good luck to you with the Girls Shoka, Goodnight" Izuku said walking away with Shoka having a heavy blush on her face
"I-Izu H-he really.. K-K-Kissed me" Shoka thought
"Sweetie are you ok?" Rei asked scaring Shoka a bit
"M-Mom, Uhh sorry yeah, i'm fine" Shoka replies holding her Cheek
"Good, So how'd it go with Izuku?" Rei asks
"It was great Mom, He forgave me" Shoka states
"Really!?" Rei asked
"Yeah" Shoka restates
"That amazing Shoka" Rei says and hugs her daughter
"Thanks so much Mom, i couldn't have done all this without you here" Shoka said as they broke the hug and headed into the house
"No Sweetie, you did this yourself, You believed it so you achieved it, But i did hear what Izuku said. And he's right, Shoka, your past doesn't define who you are. The sooner you can accept that the sooner you'll be able to move on, like he did" Rei states
"Thanks Mom, Like Izuku you always know what to say" Shoka say's
"Well, me and him did spent alot of time together back then, Now go get some sleep you still have to think about who your gonna intern with for School" Rei states
Shoka thanked her Mom one last time and head to her room. She changed and laded in her bed in deep thought
"Izu, I'm so happy you forgave me, i can finally start to feel happy again. I promise i will never hurt you again, I'll prove to the others how much i Love you and be Eri's Mom and eventually a mother to our own kids one day" Shoka thought as she fell asleep and dreamt of getting married to Izuku and having a family of there own
