A/N: Hello!!! Welcome to my umpteenth book!!! This is a book for people that are fine with the mentions of blood and gore and death!!! If you have some sort of trauma over that, I highly advise you not to read this!!!

2ND WARNING: THIS WILL BE A VERY ANGSTY BOOK, SIMILAR TO ROMEO AND JULIET BUT THEY WON'T DIE :) I think.

Also, thank you, sunniethebakubean for the amazing cover!!!

An alluring green-haired woman smiled warmly down at the equally beautiful baby girl in her arms. The man next to her sniffled, wiping the tears away roughly while looking at the newborn.

"Hisashi, isn't she beautiful?" The older woman chuckled tiredly while holding the baby to the man's peripheral vision. The said man smiled and laughed, nodding his head.

"Y-Yes, Inko, our baby is definitely beautiful- no, the most beautiful!!! In the whole world!!!" He cried, combing through his wife's green hair gently.

"Ha! Oh wait, look, Hisashi! She has your freckles, but surprisingly, she only has three on each side! Now isn't that strange, your whole body is full of freckles!!!" Inko laughed again, poking her baby's cheeks.

"Well...maybe my freckle gene mixed with your porcelain skin gene, which makes her have three freckles on each cheek, and the rest of her skin as white as snow! But wait, that doesn't make sense...is there even a porcelain skin gene? Maybe she took after my dad, he has a few freckles here and there...but why just three? Is my baby special? Inko is a gorgeous wife and no one is able to convince me otherwise, which is probably why our child is as beautiful as her...Also...why is her hair straight at the top and curly ringlets at the bottom? Is that even possible? To be born like that, I mean! I think that maybe..." He babbled on, unconsciously muttering incoherently.

"Hisashi, you're muttering again!" Inko snickered, looking at the sleeping baby in front of her.

"S-Sorry, Inko!" He blushed, rubbing his neck while embarrassed. For some reason, his mumbling habit had never been stopped after all his years being alive. He hoped it would stop before his daughter would get married- hoping he would live that long was his first wish, though. He wished to walk her to the platform, say memories of her childhood without stuttering, and trying his best not to cry.

"Yes, Hisashi, you will live that long!!!" Inko laughed, exasperated. Hisashi blushed, neck red as he realized that he's been saying all his future plans aloud.

"You will grow old with me, Hisashi, from when we get our first gray hair to when we get a head full of gray hairs!" She smiled, tousling both her husband and child's hair.

"Hisashi, Mitsuki called and asked if she and Masaru can see Izuku today! Apparently, Katsuki has been dying to see her again, she says! I obviously said yes, and was wondering if you want to tag along?" Inko called from the kitchen, turning off her phone. Hisashi took off his reading glasses, smiling when he heard the news.

"Okay, Inko! I'll be ready in a few minutes!" He grinned, closed his book, and started to rummage through his closet, trying to find something presentable.

"Daddy! Daddy!" Izuku said as her tiny feet ran to his room.

"Izuku, what did I say about knocking?" Hisashi scolded, buttoning up his shirt.

"Sorry, Daddy! But guess what! We're seeing Kacchan today!!!" She smiled, showing off her still-baby teeth.

"Yes, we are seeing Katsuki today!" He smiled back, as he put on his leather shoes.

"Do you think Kacchan will like how I look?" Hisashi looked at Izuku's outfit for the first time, and instantly fawned over how adorable his daughter looked. Izuku's long, green ringlets were put in pigtails at the top of her head, the top of her hair straight and at the end curly. Her emerald eyes sparkled with anticipation, and her freckles were visible on her pale skin, along with the red hue of excitement. She wore a small, long-sleeved, crimson dress, and they had white pearls dotting the end of the dress. Along with the dress, she wore white-laced stockings underneath, and on her feet were small red heels. A red purse went across her dress, adding to the cuteness.

"You look adorable, Izuku! I bet Katsuki will fall head over heels for you!" Hisashi gave a thumbs up, winking while Izuku grinned widely.

"Yeah! Kacchan told me that I was going to be his wife!" Izuku grinned, as Hisashi gaped.

"Haha, he sure is growing up quickly!!!" He laughed nervously, rubbing the back of his neck.

To be honest, Hisashi couldn't wait- he awaited Izuku's marriage dearly. He wanted to saw some childhood memories about his daughter, and say how much of a blessing she is to him.

But why...

.

.

Why did he have to die?

Izuku POV, 3rd person

Izuku gasped, as her eyes widened tremendously. Green explosions erupted from her hands, and she beamed afterwards the shock.

"Kacchan!!! I got my quirk!!!" The young girl screamed, running to where she saw familiar ash-blonde hair near the swings. However, the sight was not what she perceived. Katsuki was unblinking, motionless, and that was when she noticed that everything around here were still.

"Kacchan...? Kacchan?!" She started to tremble, and looked around.

"Anyone?!"

"Hello." A dark, low voice came from behind her, and Izuku shivered.

"A-Ah!!!" Izuku regained her senses, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh thank goodness, someone is moving!!!" She smiled, looking at the man wearing a cap that covered the top part of his head.

"Yes, I am, my dear." The man said, amused.

"By the way, mister...do you know who's causing this?"

"Yes, I do."

"Who?"

"...me."

Izuku's eyes opened wide in shock at this statement.

"B-But why, mister?" She said, suddenly noticing the dark aura the man in front of her possessed.

"For fun." He smiled, showing his teeth.

"P-Please, unfreeze everybody!!! I'll do anything!!!"

"You'll do...anything?"

"Y-Yes, I'll do anything!!!"

"Okay then, don't tell Katsuki-kun that you have a quirk, my dear."

"W-What?! Why?!"

"Because I said so. And if you do..."

All for One lifted his cap off his face, and Izuku couldn't find the air to scream. Where...was his eyes?

"Whether its your mother, father, 'Kacchan,' Aunt Mitsuki, Uncle Masaru..."

And how...did he know so much?

"...I will kill anyone important to you if you disobey anything I say."

***

"H-Haha, that's very funny, mister..." She laughed nervously, and took a small step backwards.

"What makes you think I'm joking?" He grinned.

"I have the power to steal quirks and make them my own...but for some reason...I can't steal yours and that 'Kacchan' boy over there..." All for One mumbled.

"But anyways, when I resume time, you can not tell Katsuki-kun you have a quirk. Do it and someone important dies." All for One grinned, making Izuku shiver and sob.

"Also, I will speak in your mind every time, and you will say exactly what I say. If you don't someone will get hurt." He added, and the time resumed.

"Z-Zucchan?! Why are you crying?!" Katsuki said, seeing how Izuku appeared out of nowhere in tears.

"Say 'I'm fine,' my dear."

"I-I'm fine, Kacchan!!!"

"Say you got a scratch on your knee, I'll make sure a scratch forms on your knee now, so don't wince in pain yet."

"I-I got a scratch on my knee," Izuku almost had to cry again because she felt her skin tearing when Katsuki looked down to check her cut.

"Ouch!!! Are you okay, Zucchan?" He asked, shocked. Then, Izuku looked down. The scratch was abnormally large, and blood poured down.

"Say that it doesn't hurt."

"Y-Yeah!!! I-It doesn't hurt at all!!!" She beamed through the pain, happy that Katsuki was worried about her.

"But how long will that last?"

Izuku froze in her spot. H-He could hear thoughts too?!

"Ahaha, yes darling, I can hear thoughts. Its one of the quirks I stole."

"Zucchan? Are you okay?" Katsuki asked, waving his hand in front of Izuku's face.

"Y-Yeah!!! I'm fine!!!" She smiled warmly, holding back tears.

"Okay, good!!! Cause I was going to ask if you wanna come over today?" Katsuki asked, pink tinting his cheeks.

"...you can go, my dear."

"S-Sure!!!" Izuku smiled, glad that All for One had a somewhat soft spot inside his dark heart.

But how much Izuku regretted her thoughts couldn't be expressed in words.

.

.

.

"Aww Izuku-chan, you came!!! It's been a long time, you've gotten so big!!!" Mitsuki squealed, smiling when she saw her son and Izuku.

"Hag, you saw her two days ago!!! Or are your grandma senses finally coming? Well, I mean, I understand since you're at that age." Katsuki grumbled, and Mitsuki punched his head.

"Brat!!!" She screamed, and that started another fight. As Katsuki was going to land a punch on Mitsuki's face, time stopped.

"M-Mister?! Is this your doing again?!" Izuku screamed, tired and frustrated.

"Yes it is, my dear." All for One grinned, and something sharp glinted from behind him.

'A k-knife?!' She thought, horrified.

"M-Mister, what are you doing with that knife?" She asked, nervous.

"Hm...I was thinking...maybe I should stab one of them? Which one, you can pick!!! The older barbarian or the younger one!!!" All for One smiled, preparing to stab either of them.

"N-None!!!" Izuku yelled, small hands balling up into fists.

"But who are you to choose? I was just joking, dear." All for One smiled, and Izuku let out a sigh of relief.

"Then-"

"There's no way I'll let YOU pick," All for One added, and Izuku's eyes widened in fear.

"N-No, please, j-just hurt me instead!!! Don't hurt Auntie Mitsuki and Kacchan!!!" Izuku pleaded, eyes starting to tear up.

"Hm...that can work too...are you sure? Taking pain instead of someone else." All for One pondered, loving how his plan was coming along.

"...y-yes..." Izuku sniffled, preparing for the pain.

"As you wish." All for One said, and Izuku closed her eyes as tightly as she could.

When she felt the impact on her arm, she screamed as hard as her little lungs could. However, no one was able to help her- she was frozen in time after all.

"Hm...why are you so weak? I only gently stabbed you." All for One joked, which caused Izuku to be even sadder.

"Don't worry dear, I'll use another quirk I stole- Blood Erasure. The quirk is exactly how it sounds like, and based on my research on you, I bet you could figure it out, considering you know a lot about heroes."

"Y-You can take away my blood?" Izuku asked, timid.

"Yes, but just the appearance. The pain won't subside, and there will be a scar left there. However, I can use another quirk on you if you would like- it's called Scar Erasure. The person I stole this from was the twin of the one with Blood Erasure. However, only you can see the scar, others cannot. They see porcelain skin. And the pain won't go away." All for One suggested, and Izuku thought it over.

"Y-yes, please...so Mommy doesn't worry..." Izuku whispered, barely audible.

"Okay, dear." All for One said, and used the quirk. (presumably)

"Now, let me resume time again."

"W-Wait, Mister!!!" izuku called, desperate to know the answer to her question.

"Yes, my dear?" All for One asked, smiling.

"W-Why, just why are you doing this?!" Izuku asked, sobbing because the pain had touched her once more.

"Why?" All for One repeated, then hummed.

.

.

.

"Because I'm bored."

And just like that, a punch was landed on Mitsuki's cheek. But really- was Izuku the only one affected by All for One?

Katsuki POV, 3rd person

The next day...

"Wahh!!! Katsuki-kun, did you get your quirk?!" A kid next to him yelled, and others came over to follow the commotion.

"Y-Yay, Kacchan!!! You got your quirk!!" Izuku, his best friend, yelled, enthusiastic. But somehow, she seemed...well...devastated. And for some reason...in pain.

"Don't worry, Zucchan!!! You'll get yours soon!!!" Katsuki consoled her, and Izuku nervously smiled.

"Y-Yeah!!!"

And then suddenly, as Katsuki was going to show Izuku his quirk again,

.

.

.

...time stopped.

"W-What?!" Katsuki yelled, alarmed as Izuku suddenly stopped blinking, along with the rest of the people in the room.

"H-Hey, any of you fuckers alive?!" He accidentally cursed, but didn't realize.

"Hello?!"

"Hi there." A dark voice came from behind him.

"W-Whats happening? Is this your doing, fucker?!" He yelled, explosions bursting. All for One chucked, and then smiled.

"Yes, it is. You are as smart as I thought you were, Bakugou Katsuki."

"Of course!!! You have to be smart to be a hero, after all!!!" katsuki beamed, white teeth showing. And just like that, All for One's mood soured.

"You...want to be a hero?" He asked, frowning.

"Yeah!!!" Katsuki smiled, not noticing All for One's sudden change in attitude.

"By the way...do you mind if I stab that green-haired girl over there?" He asked nonchalantly, and saw how Katsuki's smile froze in place. Then, it turned into an enraged expression.

"You...want to do what?!" He yelled, attitude doing a complete 180.

"Stab that girl over there." He repeated, smiling.

"Of course not!!! The fuck?!" Katsuki was extremely scared. Why did he want to hurt Izuku?!

"Then...are you willing to sacrifice yourself for her?" He grinned at Katsuki's nervous expression.

"F-For Zucchan, yeah..." Katsuki said, looking away.

"How sweet." All for One chuckled, and Katsuki felt angry tears running down his face.

"Wait, what am I thinking?! You must be too much of a wimp to do that!!!" Katsuki laughed, rubbing the tears off his face.

"You're just some stupid actor, right?!" He smiled, but it seemed like he was trying to convince himself.

"Yeah, yeah, you're just a random piece of shit that's trying to fool me!!! I bet everybody's just acting!!!" Katsuki proclaimed, and went on to play with his toys.

All for One got angry- no, furious.

'NOBODY IGNORES ME.'

But...

he kept it in.

"Yes...if that's what you want to believe. But just remember...that whatever happens next..." All for One forcefully smiled, and resumed time.

.

.

.

"Is all your fault."

Katsuki played happily with Izuku the whole time that day, but couldn't ignore the dark feeling in his chest.

'Whats...gonna be my fault? It's probably gonna be something stupid, like Izuku's All Might book accidentally ripping. Yeah...something like that...probably..."

***

"Yes, hello? This is the fucking Bakugou residence." Mitsuki yawned, rubbing her eyes in the kitchen.

"Oh!!! Inko-chan, is that you? Did Izuku-chan leave something here again? Sorry, my stupid son must've done something-" Katsuki looked up as his mother stopped, and gasped.

"W-What? Are you crying? What's happening, Inko?!" The heavy feeling in Katsuki's gut didn't subside; it just got heavier.

"What are you talking about, Inko!? I just saw him yesterday!!!" Mitsuki gnawed at her fingertips, eyes prickling with tears. Katsuki felt like he was getting sick. But somehow, the strange man he met yesterday's words repeated in his head...

"Whatever happens next..."

"What do you mean Hisashi's dead?!"

"Is all your fault."
