1st Person PoV
A lot has changed.
And I meant, a lot...
After the so-called, "Raid on Kamino," as reporters and the Japanese people would call it, All Might eventually defeated his biggest enemy of all. The baddest, evil villain in Japan, All For One.
All Might, and his famous last words, "Next, it's your turn." wasn't even aimed at the people who watched the fight nor at the villains. I know who, and I am greatly worried for my friend.
Izuku Midoriya...
With All Might's retirement as the Symbol of Peace, weeks gone by and cases of villain activities start to trickle in like droplets of water. Soon, they will overwhelm the bucket and create a flood of fear for the public.
My mom, however... Kept her silent demeanor for a very long time since that raid.
My mother, Pearl Yugano...
I can still remember the night after the fight. My mom can't look me directly in the eyes. Her body expression sagged, and her eyes were frozen, her spirit was shaken and I could see her eyes swelling not by her wounds, but by tears.
Do not ask me why, but... My mom, her personality, and attitude changed...
Whenever I ask her about what happened in her fight with Zero, she simply glares at me, shouting hurtful words that I do not expect her to say directly. And then threatening me NOT TO, ever again.
I stopped, but I didn't.
Instead, I went to Agent Hill to ask the same thing yet she also gave me the same glare, warning me not to ask that question.
Something is up and I will not stop finding the truth behind it. Whatever or whoever traumatized my Mom back there...
I will kill them.

In terms of SHIELD, yes, SHIELD. I decided not to tell Director Fury what I'd seen and heard from Zero that night. For I am still trying to understand the cryptic words he'd said to me. I already knew the tip of the iceberg that HYDRA is inside SHIELD, but the big question is who, when, why, and how many of them are there. Is the Director one of them? Hill? Natasha? Or even my Mom?
Why her...? Because I heard it from that guy. They both knew each other.
And I hate it, so much. I wanted to crush his throat and gauge his eyes, tear his limbs apart, and blast him with Kurama's Tailed Beast Bomb for good.
I do not know who to trust in SHIELD at this point...
________
A single day went by and we six handed Katsuki Bakugo to the police for proper keeping. That night he was pissed, annoyed that the whole rescue operation was planned by me. Surprisingly, the next day, his expression changed, and merely muttered under his breath, turning away with a grunt, before it turned in complete silence as the police took him away.
It seems that he was lucky that we saved him and angry as well...
Not a single soul spoke inside our house as my Mom didn't even come along with me. She left, with a lot of negative emotions that can be seen hanging on her face.
Kurama and I had a heart-to-heart talk the whole night, he gave me advice and warning about my new profound form. The Kurama Chakra Cloak, which is the third-most powerful form he had in his arsenal. Kurama told me that this was commonly used by Naruto during the 4th Great Ninja War and his time as the 7th Hokage. In short– a powerful one indeed...
I guess don't criticize the form at first glance, eh?
For Jiro, however. I was confused and shocked when I learned that she was completely fine when she was abducted by Zero's villainous group. No cuts, bruises, or even blood can be seen on her clothes, which baffles me. What did Zero and his goons do to her? Why is she completely unharmed? She even told me that she DOES NOT remember anything after they took her. What the fuck happened?
This doesn't make any sense at all... And I'm completely suspicious.

Another day has passed...
Mom is not home.
I was lying on the bed, when I heard my vibrating phone from the small table, shivering, as it nearly fell. Only for my quick hand to catch it.
Still with my dry voice and groggy eyes, I tried my best to read the message on the lock screen.
Wake up, Y/N.
Me and your Toshinori-sensei will visit your classmate's residences. Best of you to come with us as their class representative.
Urgent.
I will tell you the details as soon as we get there first.
–Aizawa-sensei.
My body shot straight like my soul was doused by cold water, widened my eyes as I read the message once more to confirm it as I skimmed it.
"What the fu-" My words were cut off by a knock from the front door downstairs. I ran to the window and peered out. There I saw All Might and Aizawa-sensei both in their white polo and necktie formal combo.
*knock knock...!*
I guess that message was too advanced for me to receive, huh?
________
"A... what now?!" I bellowed as I not-so-rudely asked my teacher to repeat what he just said.
Aizawa-sensei sighed. "U.A. and Principal Nexu spearheaded the idea to bring all 1-A together into the compound, to create a dorm that you will all share until the end of your school year." He explains again.
Dorm, eh? So they finally realized their mistakes and that All Might is now retired, they needed NOT to repeat the abductions.
"In what I could conclude, this would guarantee the safety of students that will stay under the guidance and protection of U.A. Teachers?" I looked to my right, admiring the people walking as the car turned to the left.
The two senseis nodded at the same time. "That is why we need your help to persuade their parents to allow their child to approve the dorm system."
I scoffed, mentally noting that they didn't even ask me if my mom or I would allow me to proceed with this plan. "My help without asking if I'm okay with it? Hah! Please, senseis, think about it first before you ask for my permission."
"And we know that they will surely agree because they look up to you as a leader, Y/N." All Might sensei quickly replied, making his point.
I think the dorm is right for a reason...? But I am worried about what will happen in the future if something transpires like that again.
Hesitant, I reluctantly agreed to help them. "Assuming that we all agreed. What will Principal Nezu do next?"
Aizawa-sensei smiles, "We will make sure that it won't happen again. You can trust my words on that."
Sighing, I gently grabbed the papers and studied them. "Alright, senseis. Where to first?" They both looked at me like they already knew where.
"First student, Kyoka Jiro." My teeth seethed, bracing for what would happen next. And boy, I can predict what will occur...
"Ah, shit..."
________
Yep, that happened...
Kyoka's father, Kyotoku Jiro's eyes are glaring intently at me. Angry that I failed to save her daughter I vowed to protect her when I first met them in this very same house. Meanwhile, her mother, Mika Jiro, looks at me with disappointment as Kyoka's father continues to rant and throw unnecessary words at me.
"Now you dare to come here and apologize?!" Kyotoku's words pierced my soul. "You were supposed to keep her safe! But you did not!"
"Dad..." Kyoka tried to calm him down.
"Do not interrupt us, Kyoka." Only for his sharp eyes to warn her not to speak one more thing. Kyoka folded as Kyotoku approached me and I looked down in shame.
"Y/N." His voice commands me to look up. I slowly did and I was surprised to see a now composed expression of his. "We were worried when we heard the news that those villains abducted Kyoka. I, for a reason, know the feeling of losing a person you love. Especially if that is your child. Tell me, if you were in the same shoes as her, would your mother find a desperate way to save you?" He asks.
I did not answer.
"That's right. A parent's love is far greater than others." He stated. "You will do anything to save her. And that's what you did. Even if you failed to save her back in the forest, you redeemed yourself that night." He smiled, a comforting smile as I nodded slowly.
He leaned, shifting with a dark glare. "But let me remind you that my daughter trusts you, okay? And we, as well."
"Thank you, sir," I said with a relieved sigh.
"Now, that's done." Aizawa-sensei interrupts our conversation as they both enter the living room, papers at hand to present. "Can we now state our intentions why are we here?"
Kyoka's parents looked at each other quizzically and then at me. I grabbed one of the folders and gave it to Kyotoku. "It is wise for us to sit down, sir?" I said with a friendly smile.
__________
As expected...
"No, this sounds doubtful, at all." He stated after reading the whole file.
We were now sitting in the living room as myself, Aizawa-sensei, and All Might-sensei –still one of his arms in a sling, faced Kyoka's parents, while she was taking care of the drinks that we were drinking at the moment.
"Even if she's not injured, that we were grateful at. But after the event, you guys from the U.A. pretended as if nothing happened and decided to implement a school dorm system?" Kyotoku noted the error.
"Kyotoku-san, we agree with what you said. Indeed, we have become complacent so after careful deliberation, we decided to take action." Aizawa-sensei calmly stated. "Will you be willing to entrust your daughter onto U.A. High's care again?"
"They promise that they will train her to be an excellent hero. And as 1-A's class representative, I must supervise and help my classmates." I added to Sensei's statement.
"Y/N..." Kyoka said, her earplugs swaying as she approached me and handed me another drink. "You don't have to try hard for us. I heard that you organized the chaos of the whole class that night."
"They have also seen the footage where you've battled the man who fought All Might for a minute and a half. Dad was gobsmacked that he couldn't help but smile at that moment." Kyoka leaned, whispering.
"O-Oi! Stop that!" He protested. "I did not make a grin nor smile!"
"Ara~" Mika, giggled happily. "I guess I wasn't wrong when Kyoka picked a man like you, Y/N-kun."
Kyoka's face went full of steaming tomato. "M-Mom!"
Mika pretends to be shocked. "Huh? Why are you shouting like that, Kyoka?" She asks, index finger resting on her chin. "You even told me that you can't stop thinking about him when he kissed you on the–"
"M-MOM?! I TOLD YOU NOT TO–!"
"HE DID WHAAAAT?!" Kyotoku slams the desk, shouting. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BABY GIRL, YOU YELLOWHAIRED?!"
Mika ignores the two and giggles, fixating her glasses as she hands us back the form where there is a signature of hers, indicating the approval of Jiro's family for the Dorm System. "We approve. And I would to suggest to my daughter that you promise to protect her again, okay? No more." She said to me, I nodded gratefully as I could feel an ominous aura behind me, and a scared one.
"DID... I... JUST... HEARD... YOU'VE KISSED... MY DAUGHTER... Y/N...?" Kyotoku's voice sent shivers down on my spine.
"Kid. Rest in pieces." Kurama said in my mindscape, clasping his paws with a teasing smirk.
"Oh fuck you, not you too..."
I turned around, only to see that both Aizawa and All Might-sensei were gone, along with the papers they brought along. Kyoka nervously points her index at me, gesturing me to look behind. Mika, held a "Ganbare" sign at me, giving me a close-eyed smile.
"Aaand them as well..." I muttered with a nervous gulp.
"I... AM... WAITING... FOR YOUR... ANSWER... BOY..." He said, word by word.
"Y/N... Run!" Kyoka shouted.
"SO I AM DAMN RIGHT!!" Kyotoku starts to do a leap but I immediately teleported away in fear.
"Sooorry!" My voice said as I left the house, running and leaping to chase the car where the two senseis decided to leave me there, snickering.
"YYYY/NNNN!" Kyotoku's voice can be heard from miles away, an interesting match to compare against Present Mic's.
