[ 16 ]→The Descendant of Hero
Current time,
Third day of Akimi's arrival,
Class 1-A Dorm,
Common area...
Midoriya's POV
The phone in my pocket suddenly buzzes noisily, telling me to immediately answer the call. I shove my hand into my pocket and take the gadget out. "I'm sorry Akimi-chan but I need to excuse myself for a bit." I tell the clingy girl next to me along with a small smile. Akimi-chan seems very upset but still nods her head, allowing me to go off somewhere else for a bit to talk to my mother.
As I walk away from Akimi-chan, my slender finger taps on the green button and then move the phone closer to my ear. "Hello, Mom?" I greet her first. "O-Oh, hello, Izuku... How are you doing, sweetie?" Mom speaks up but her voice sounds a bit croaky and weak, compares to her usual happy tone.
"I'm doing just fine but Mom... Are you okay? I'm sorry I can't be there for you..." I say, feeling guilty. "Oh no, Izu. It wasn't your fault... It's just... I suddenly have a dream about my mom... My birth mom... And I can't shake this feeling that you are in danger...' Mom's answer makes my eyes go wide open when she mentions about her mother; My grandma that I have never met even once.
Mom is the adopted daughter of my late dad's family. Dad... Passed away when I was still six... It was a difficult time for me and Mom.
Mom hadn't never mentioned about her birth family before so it really ticked me off. I feel like I'm going to discover something important about myself.
Mom just remains silent before I hear a soft sigh on the phone. "Izu, I know I can't keep this secret any longer... I guess you are curious about my background..." Mom says, obviously hesitates to continue. I swallow my saliva in nervousness. "Well yeah... I'm honestly want to know about you more, Mom... But it's alright if you don't want to tell me–"
"No, you need to now about this. This has something to do with your dream to be a hero, the reason why I'm so reluctant to let you become one..." Mom's voice becomes croaked again at this point.
"Izuku, the truth is... My mother; your grandma is a hero... A great hero. But after my father died, killed by a villain, your grandma gave me and my brother to foster family... But to different family for both of us which mean we bith git seperated... Ever since then, I hadn't seen my brother and mother anymore. But a few years later I heard a rumor about my mother... T-That she died... I-I was very scared... I was very scared that same thing will happen to you, Izuku..." Mom sobs softly, panging my heart with guilt.
Somehow, this story sounds familiar. Where did I hear it? And I got a bad feeling about this...
"Who is... My grandma actually?" I ask her, gritting my teeth worriedly. "Her name is Nana... Nana Shimura. In other words, my maiden's name is Inko Shimura..." Mom's reply makes my legs become weak all of sudden. I immediately lean my back against the concrete wall to suporrt myself. "Why... Why are you telling me everything now...?" I mutter in shock, still processing her story in my mind.
"I-I don't know. I feel like I shouldn't keep it secret from you forever... My heart keeps reminding me to tell you about this... I'm sorry I have never talk about it before... But I hope you'll feel at ease after hearing this, Izuku..." Mom utters in sadness. I shake my head, disagree with her statement.
"No, Mom. Thanks for being honest about this. I really appreciate it. But I need to go now.... I have some important business to do..." I say quietly, eyes looking at my classmates. "O-Okay... Just please... Stay safe, Izuku..." Mom ends the conversation.
I remove my phone from my ear, staring at the ceilings in total disbelief.
I'm her descendant, her granddaughter... The descendant of Nana Shimura; All Might's master. And also...
Tomura Shigaraki's grandmother...
I gasp in shock when that thoughts pop up in my mind.
All Might told me before... Tomura Shigaraki is the grandchild of his master, Nana Shimura...
Which mean, Shigaraki is my...!!!
What... What is the meaning of this?! Why there are too many surprises lately?? First, the appearance of Akimi-chan and now the exposure of my bakcground.
Did all of this... Something that has to do with the future...?
S-Should I tell All Might about this? Wait, I shouldn't rush... I have to dig deeper into my past first.
"Deku-chan?" Uraraka-san's voice snaps me out of my little world, making me turn to her. I see Akimi-chan standing behind her, concern clouding her pretty viridian eyes that resemble mine. "Your face is very pale. Are you feeling unwell?" The brunette asks me in worry as she walks closer to me. "No, I'm fine doing good... Just... A bit tired." I assure her in tired voice.
"Izuku... Neechan..." Akimi-chan murmurs my name sadly. I shift my gaze to her, curving a small smile on my lips. "Don't worry, I'll be fine again once I have enough rest. Maybe because there are so many surprises today." I laugh sheepishly to gain their trust.
"Sorry... For burdening you with this..." Akimi-chan mutters in apologetic tone. Uraraka-san looks at her in pity. "No, Akimi-chan. It's alright. You just want to help everyone in the future. You've no other options but to seek for help here. So don't feel guilty about this, okay?" I try to comfort her. Akimi sometimes can be so confusing.
One second she is a very cheerful happy-go-lucky girl and then she changes to a girl who has been so much traumas, seeking for protection and comforts.
And all the time, she is just so clingy to me... And Kirishima-kun.
"Hey, Akimi! Midoriya! Oh, Uraraka, you're here too?" Kirishima-kun greets us with his usual wide grin. Akimi seems so excited when he appears. "Do you need something, Kirishima-kun?" I ask him in curiousity.
"Ah, yeah! Actually, Aizawa-sensei wants to ask something Akimi." Kirishima-kun answers, hir ruby eyes lock on the future girl. I turn to Akimi and notice her eyes are RED too, same as Kirishima-kun.
Oh my, this is so confusing! I'm pretty sure her eyes are green... And then black... And now red?!
I totally lost it...
"I... I see... I'll go Eraser Head first." Akimi-chan excuses herself. "Wait, Akimi-chan! I want to come with you!" Uraraka-san follows her, leaving both of us behind. I just remain silent, looking down on my feet.
"Midoriya, what's wrong?" Kirishima's tone of voice shows how worried he is. I raise my head up and gaze into his eyes. "No, it's nothing, Kirishima-kun." I answer almost sound like a whisper.
"But–"
"Oi, Kirishima, Midoriya! Come here quick!" Ashido-san yells at us, waving her hand high in the air.
"Guess we should go there first. Let's go, Kirishima-kun!" I hold Kirishima-kun's big hand and pull her together with me, smiling at him in secret.
....
In the future,
Underground hideout...
Third Person's POV
The muscular man with red hair just stares at the unconscious woman who is laying on the bed, lifeless. The sound of her heartbeat from the heart monitor bips slowly, tensing the situation he is in. This miserable sight of his love one really hurts him, slowly tearing his inside apart.
"Please... Open your eyes..." He whispers into her ear although he knows she won't hear him. How many times he has uttered the same words? Countless already. But not even a second he loses hope in her.
"Why... What did you do to deserve this... After you cared for her...?" He can not believe they will be betrayed by the one they both care so much.
The man holds her fragile hand gently. He gets closer to her pale face, planting a long, affectionate kiss on her forehead. Sadness clouds his crimson red irises. "Please... don't leave me... Don't leave our daughter..."
