A/N: Time for Yukimura family bonding time~!
Erasherhead: So...How is your investigation on Todoroki going?
Toshinori nearly chokes on his blood.
All Might: H-How?
Erasherhead: Oh please, it was quite obvious idiot. You forget he's also one of my students. Not just yours. Some of Shouto Todoroki's behaviours were quite...weird from the start. Or more like, concerning.
All Might:....
Erasherhead: And also...reason why I knew this, is because Geysis told me some time before the festival. Turns out, during the practical exam, Sports Festival, and Internship while he was training the boy...He noticed that he refused to use his left side and only relied on ice. Although he started using it after the Festival thanks to Midoriya and Yukimura.
Nedzu: Not to mention that both of you have been talking with him after lessons for days now. I imagine it was to get some clues out of it, no?
All Might: With all due respect headmaster, how did you know that?
Even Aizawa seemed surprised by this extent.
Nedzu: You do realize there are security cameras around the school. I've installed even more of them after the USJ attacks...But of course, I'm not looking at them at all times. And they can't record sounds so... I'm only left with what I think has transpired. Nothing concrete...
Erasherhead: Well... that was a really good guess. Unfortunately, Geysis not us haven't really gotten anything so far. Todoroki won't say a thing about his bruises, and even though I was desperate enough to follow him on a few occasions, he only ever spends time with Midoriya, Yukimura, or goes home.
Nedzu: And do you think that those bruises could be from when he's at home?
He had questions in a serious tone. Toshinori gapes at him. Surely, Endeavor wouldn't do that, would he?
Then it dawned on him...He remember the words that were exchanged back at festival after Midoriya and Todoroki's fight...
-Flashback-
Mikoto: Are you aware that he hates you...?
All-Might: Me?! Oh my boy! I can assure you! Endeavor does not hate me. Sure we been rivals for a long time and yes. He does have a temper. But hate is such a strong word. I'm pretty sure that's not the case...
Geysis: *Facepalms* Oi....
Fumiko: Oh you silly man...You silly dumb naive man...
All-Might: ???
Deku: Please All-Might...For Miichan's and Todoroki-kun's sake...Please take note of this...Endeavor isn't the man you think he is... There's a reason why he despises you for being Number One...
All Might:....Alright...I'll do my best...
-End Flashback-
All Might:.....(Endeavor...Don't Tell me you would go that far to...)
Erasherhead: Of course it's occurred to me. But I have no way of checking that for now. Geysis had requested assistance from Naomasa Tsukauchi. He'll help us with questioning. If what Yukimura and Midoriya claim is true of Todoroki is abused in any way, we will know...
If there was one thing the teachers would do, is make sure that every student at U.A, is healthy and guaranteed with proper safety.
Because they'll be damned if they let someone harmed their students... especially if it's going on at home.
-Plus Ultra-
Mikoto was excited.
Excited to see Shouto again...but not just him. Natsuo and Fuyumi as well.
Shouto had called again and told him Fuyumi and Natsuo were free to come over. My
Because of that...
His father had prepared a huge dinner for them to celebrate their reunion with welcome arms.
He was a little sad that Touya, most definitely, won't be here...
Mikoto really missed him even if he only got to see him once.
Mikoto: (I wonder how he's doing...? Is he okay...? Is he living a good life...? Will he come back...?)
So many questions were left unanswered until he heard the doorbell ring!
Tohru: Mikoto! They're here~~~!
Mikoto: I know Dad! I'll get the door! Just focused on cooking.
Tohru: Of course son! What do you think I-! Oh no! My riceballs! They'll be overcooked! *RUNS*
Mikoto: 😓
Mikoto walked over the door and opened it up.
Mikoto: Shouto~~~!
Shouto let's Mikoto hugged him before letting his arms do the same. They both heard a giggle behind them. Mikoto turned to see Fuyumi smiling at them while Natsuo had a large grin.
Mikoto: Fuyumi? Natsuo?
Natsuo: S'up little coz! It's been a while!
Fuyumi: Hello Mikoto-kun. You sure have grown up.
Mikoto: It's great to see you guys again!
Natsuo: Likewise, Snowflake!
Natsuo pulls him into a headlock before giving him a noogie.
Mikoto: Ahhh! Natsuo! Not the hair!
Natsuo: Hehe~! Yes the hair, shrimp!
Shouto: Natsuo. Let him go.
Natsuo: *Pouts* Alright.
Fuyumi: Oh Natsuo...
Natsuo: What?! I'm just having a little fun. It's isn't everyday you get to see your favorite little cousin.
Mikoto: That's because I'm your only cousin! (At least I think I am...)
Mikoto brushes his hair back into it's usual look. Which of course, still makes him look like Deku.
Fuyumi: I'm honored that you let us have dinner with you guys. I hope we're not intruding.
Mikoto: No! Of course not! You guys are family. After all, Mom invited you guys to have dinner with us~! So come on in. Dad should be done soon.
The Todoroki Siblings walked inside to Mikoto's home.
It wasn't as big as theirs but it was still large enough to be deemed a mansion.
They walked over the dining room. It was Contemporary Dining Room with Antoine Collection by Coaster. The Furniture was chrome finish w/black glass about 12mm black tempered glass with a 2cm beveled edgePolished chrome table base with an Art-Deco flair Oval back "Alice in Wonderland", dramatic chair design, and pearlized cream leatherette matching side chairs.
Fuyumi: Whoa...Pretty.
Natsuo: Meh. I was expecting an igloo-like dining room.
Fuyumi: Natsuo! Manners!
Natsuo: I'm just saying! Lighten up Fuyumi!
Fuyumi: Mikoto-kun. I'm really sorry about him.
Mikoto: That's quite alright, Fuyumi~!
Shouto: So when do we eat?
Mikoto: When Dad is finished...About...Now!
On cue, Tohru appeared with japanese cuisine in his hands. They were filed with Sashimi, Tempura, Rice Balls, Ramen, Sushi, Soba, and Gyoza.
Tohru wasn't the only one in charge of the household cooking. On some occasions, the Yukimura family would let the head chef cook for them. But since he was gone for the day, Tohru would do the job.
Natsuo: Oooooh yeah! That food looks so good!
Tohru: Natsuo?! Is that you?!
Natsuo made a smile at him.
Natsuo: Hey! Uncle!
Tohru: Awwww! Look at you! You grown up! Are you into sports? Looks like you been lifting weights!
Natsuo: Yep!
Tohru then looked at Fuyumi while setting the food down on the table.
Tohru: Fuyumi! Is that you?
Fuyumi: Nice to see you again, Tohru Ojii-san...
Tohru: Wow! Look at you. You became such a beautiful young lady.
Fuyumi: Thank you~!
Tohru: So how you been doing?
Fuyumi: Right now I'm a preschool teacher.
Tohru: Oh. Good choice. I bet all those kids love their kind teacher.
Fuyumi made a small smile at the thought of her students. They were all purely wonderful and Fuyumi was glad to teach them.
Tohru: And Shouto...OMG! You look so skinny! Have you been eating well?!
Shouto: Umm...Well I...
Tohru: You poor thing! You need to eat more!
Mikoto: Dad! Will you quit getting up in their face?!
Tohru had ahold of Shouto's face in his hands while gushing.
Tohru: Awwww. But he still had that cute little baby face from primary. (Wish he wouldn't have that scar though...)
Shouto:.....
Mikoto:*Sighs* Dad...You're embarrassing me...
Tohru: But I'm just happy to see my little nephews and niece. Let me be embarrassing Mikoto!
As father and son argued at each other. Fumiko makes her appearance in a purple and white kimono while her long snow white hair was tied to a bun.
Fumiko: I see that the guest have arrived~!
Fuyumi: Hi Auntie Fumiko~!
Natsuo: Hey Auntie!
Shouto: Hi...
Fumiko: It's great to see you all again...My...You have all grown up so much into young adults.
Natsuo: Yep! I guess you can say that.
Fumiko nodded before looking at Shouto.
Fumiko: How is Rei doing...?
Shouto: She's doing fine....She talks about you sometimes...
Fumiko's face brighten a bit.
Fumiko: Really...? What did she say...
Shouto: She sometimes say how much she misses you or other times how much she wanted to spent time with you....and also...She wants to apologize...
Fumiko raised an eyebrow.
Fumiko: For what?
Shouto: She...wanted to apologize for leaving you and not seeing you grow up...even though she had no choice...
Fuyumi/Natsuo:.....
Fumiko: Ah I see...
She knows where he's getting at. Fumiko's sister was taken away from her when she was a child. Rei was only in her late teens when she forced to marry Endeavor.
The man made sure Rei couldn't see her family.
The only times Fumiko was able to see her was when her children were born.
Fumiko saw her children from time to time but not well enough to even be acquainted with them to get to know them.
Ever since Endeavor's plans manifested, She tried to do everything to her power to get those children out of the house.
But her plans were thwarted by Endeavor's followers.
After the lawsuit, the man forced her to stay away from the children (Shouto included) for good until they were old enough to qualify to be adults and make their own decisions.
She even hated him for trying to keep Mikoto away from Shouto.
They could've gotten along back then...
Fumiko: Well the next time you visit her...tell her not to worry about it. Someday...I come see her myself. With or without, Endeavor knowing.
Mikoto: Mom...Won't that get you in trouble.
Fumiko: I don't care. That man kept my sister away from me for years. I will find someway to see her without his permission and get away with it.
Tohru: Fumiko.
Natsuo: Yeah! You tell him, Auntie Fumiko! Mom really wants to see you! You don't need his permission~!
Fumiko: You're right. Of course I don't.
Fuyumi: I just hope you can able to get through to this without violence.
Fumiko: I know....
Tohru: Well let's not worry about that for now. Let's eat together~! Like a family!
Mikoto: Yeah! Let's dig in!
Fumiko: *Smiles* Of course.
Shouto: Food does look tasty, Yukimura.
Mikoto: It sure does. Dad worked hard on these dishes.
Tohru: Awww. Thanks son! So glad my cooking is appropriated~!
Fumiko: *Pouts*.....I can cook better.
Mikoto: No you can't Mom and you know it.
Fumiko: (╥﹏╥).....I'm hurt Mikoto-kun....
Tohru: Waaaah! My Love! Mikoto! Apologise!
Mikoto: Sorry Mom...
Natsuo: Oh boy. I'm so starved. I can't wait anymore.
Fuyumi: Everyone. Let's say our prayers.
Natsuo: *Pouts* Awwwww...Fine!
After joining hands and saying prayers, they all begin to eat.
Everyone: Itadakimasu!
While the middle of eating, Mikoto's parents were talking to each other about their day. Mikoto and Shouto were chatting among themselves about what's going on in their classes. While this was going on, Fuyumi had begin to whispered to Natsuo....
Fuyumi:....(If only Touya was here...He would enjoy this...)
Natsuo: (Yeah...He would...)
While they were eating, a shadowy figure with scarred skin was watching them from the window with a defective look...before disappearing into the night...
