Chapter 20: The writing on the wall

You stretched your arms towards the sky as you exited schools grounds with Todoroki and Izuku.

"Some day huh?" You said casually.

"That's for sure." He rubbed his sore neck in response.

"I think Aizawa was extra hard on us this time." Izuku let out a sigh.

"Yeah, but at least we're all gonna hang out for a whole week at the training camp thing!" Todoroki could literally feel your excitement radiating off of you and responded with a chuckle. "And I think it's great that we're all going to the mall tomorrow." You added.

"Right." He answered simply. You walked in front of the two boys and then turned around so you would be walking backwards.

"So, what do you guys plan on getting at the mall?"

"I need some weights and things for training. What about you?" You didn't really think about it so it took you a while to respond.

"Maybe some sports clothes, I don't have that much of that." You shrugged. "How about you, Todo?"

"Just a few basic things, batteries and things like that." Todoroki kept looking at the ground, as if he was thinking about something important and didn't really participate much in the conversation.

"Hey, Todo? You okay?" You asked just in case, he looked up at you for a moment but then looked back down.

"Yeah, I'm just a bit tired from class today, that's all." You didn't want to pry so you continued on with the conversation with Izuku.

Once you three reached the intersection, you said your goodbyes and Todoroki went right along with Izuku since the bus stop was that way.

As you walked into the apartment you went straight into your room and flopped down on your bed.

I hope tomorrow I get to talk to him a bit more.

-

Kiyashi Ward shopping mall. One of the biggest malls there is.

You were in awe seeing how huge it was and how many things there were. You've never really gone to the malls there since the times you would visit Japan were mostly to hand out with your uncle but now... You didn't even know where to start!

You turned to look at Izuku but he was just muttering a bunch of facts about the mall.

"Hey Izuku, you're scaring the children. Stop that." Commented Fumikage, you sweat dropped and shook him slightly so he could come back down to earth.

"Oh! Aren't those U.A students?!" You suddenly heard a stranger shout.

"First Year?!"

"I saw them on T.V!" You heard the comments coming from a bunch of different people. You felt proud when they would cheer them on yet a bit sad at the fact that you couldn't join their 'fame.'

"Everyone has different things they want to do, so why don't we meet up at 3 O'clock?" Mina said to everyone, you didn't even notice that they were coordinating.

"Okay!" Everyone shouted, you looked around for Todoroki but he was gone, along with everyone else.

"Everyone's really fast." Izuku chimed.

"Yeah." So in the end it was just you Izuku and Ochaco.

"What about you Uraraka?" Izuku asked.

"I need bug spray." She said casually but all of a sudden her face was turning red.

"Ochaco are you okay?" You asked worried if she was feeling okay.

"Bug.... BUG SPRAY!" She shouted and then ran away.

"I'm a bug?!" You exclaimed, not understanding what she was trying to say.

"Even though we all came together, I'm all alone." You looked at broccoli boy and glared.

"I'm still here ya know?" He jumped remembering your presence.

"So-Sorry about that..." You huffed out a smile, "Well, I'm going to find me some sportswear. Then browse some. Wanna join?"

"I'm going to grab a quick bite to eat before checking out the gym department. I'll meet you there."

"Sounds good." The two of you wave goodbye to each other as you reached the elevator. You were heading for the top floor whether the clothes you wanted were there or not. The whole afternoon was yours to explore this shopping paradise which smelled of new plastic and lemony and lavender-scented floors.

The elevator stopped with a ping on the top floor as you got off and found the view to be extremely, extremely big and exhausting.

I think I've gone a bit over my head. You were certain you could tackle every nook and cranny of the mall, but seeing how much ground you had to cover, almost had you giving up. Almost.

You started your venture with a big gulp and a fast pace. Gawking from time to time through the windows, and grabbing a bite from any and all shops that intrigued your nose, and tickled your taste buds, to your delight.

Two pieces and one-piece swimsuits came into view and just like the other shop, you planned on window shopping until you find something you really like, but then you heard snickering. An all too familiar snicker at that.

"Look at Mina in this one." You heard out but a whisper, but what was said was clear as day.

"She's going to kill you." As you neared closer it was obvious who the two were talking and you were going to give them the scare of their lives.

"You want?"

"Yeah, send it over, just don't -"

"Don't what?" You grumbled with an aura of anger and disgust, before snatching the phone away. Now, Minoru being the shortie he is tried to get the phone back, but it doesn't end up in his possession until you have deleted all twenty-four pictures of Mina and Toru trying on some one and two-piece swimsuits.

Denki didn't even put up a fight. He knew he'd lose. You grabbed the grape for brains by the back of his collar, quiet humiliating him in the process, and held onto Sparky with your other hand, dragging them to apologize to your classmates.

Not a tinge of shame was present on Minoru as he strutted out the store, Toru promising to see to him later because really none of you wanted to be kicked out of the mall at that point.

"Hey, sorry." Denki rubbed the back of his neck with a strain in his movements. He couldn't even look the girls in the eyes at this point.

"Oh, we'll forgive you " Mina said, giving Toru a side glance and smile to do.

"Yeah~ Yeah. What she said." Invisible girl and yourself understanding what she's playing at, but what she wants exactly is what you wanted to hear.

"If you pay for all the clothes you liked so much and lunch on you?"

"As, man, can't I- I don't know, take the walk of shame or something?"

"Like-" You began, getting one of your great ideas. "-prancing around in a cute two-piece while we take pictures and send it to the whole class"

"I said walk of shame, not go and ruin my reputation."

"What reputation?" Toru retorted. 

"Fine." He sighed in defeat. "I'll pay for the clothes."

"And lunch?"

"Yeah." He turns towards you. "I guess Lunch's on me, wanna come?"

"Nah, you guys go on ahead, I still need to find me some track pants. I'll see you guys later." You walked away with a final wave of your hand and got back on course.

Where to next?...

You thought to yourself, the window displays passing by as you stroll down the hall. As you continue, you noticed the arcade at the very end with bright lights and various game toons playing in the background just begging you to go inside.

You're here for sports clothes, you're here for sports clothes, you're here for sports clothes, you're here for-

"Welcome! We have new consuls in the back room if you'd like!"

"Thanks!" You walked in anyways. I have no self-control.

Although you didn't feel too bad since you could see a few familiar faces at the Dance Dance Revolution game.

"Y/n! You up for a manly one on one!" The spiky redhead offered, pushing poor Hanta aside in the process for you to get on the stage.

"You're on!" Let's just say, you weren't kidding around when it came to Dance Dance revolution. You constantly got A's but before a crowd started to form you noticed the time and you were cutting it close to when you were all gonna meet up.

"Sorry guys I've still got some shopping to do! If I finish quickly I'll be back for my rematch!" You called out as you quickly exited the Arcade. You were stuffing your wallet back in your bag and didn't notice who was in from of you making you colide with them and fall back on your behind.

"Oh, sorry." Maybe out of habit, but getting shoved to the ground and a hooded guy- "Wait," you get a glance at the face and you could be wrong."To-Tomura Shigaraki"

You have a quick decision to make, tail him, because that could be your only chance of locating and busting the league of villains, not to mention it being completely reckless or do the responsible thing and report it to the authorities.

Without thinking or making any final decisions, you gathered your things and your body started moving on its own, soon you were too far gone, away from everyone and closing in on him that you couldn't turn away.

What am I doing? I'm going to get myself killed.

As you turn the corner you get your eyes off him for one second and he's gone, even after you followed him as far as you did in this gigantic mall.

Your body slumps, backed against a wall, as you get comfortable on the ground. Your legs aching from all the walking.

Not more than a minute passed before you decide to get back up and hurry back to the others.

As your back was turned. A hand clasped onto the back of your neck.

"Let go." You barely managed to say, his hold on your neck only growing tighter.

"Now, why would I do that? You were the one following me after all." He pulled you closer to him making you get a good look at his crusty face. "What do you say we take a seat and chat, you seem awfully tired." You didn't have much of a choice so you wordlessly accepted.

"So what do you think?" He began. You were about to ask what the hell he was referring to but his grip tightened. Guess it was rhetorical. "Fate? Destiny? Or maybe I'm just getting lucky." He let out a dry chuckle. He let go of your neck and you were about to take that chance to teleport out of his grasp but in a millisecond he was holding onto your chin with four fingers, the fifth hovering dangerously close to your face.

"You know, I was wondering, why the hell are you so special?" Was this another rhetorical question?

"Be-Because I have two quirks?" You accidentally stuttered. His nails started to dig into your flesh.

"Are you really going to lie to my face like that?" He warned.

He, he knows...

"I was referring to how I was trying to find out more about you and your friends at U.A and it was difficult, to say the least, but you." He placed his hand back onto your neck as he spoke. "We couldn't even get your last name at first. You didn't participate in the sports festival like the others, but it seems like you are studying with them, so we kept asking ourselves why are you so special? Interesting isn't it? And those quirks of yours-"

"Y/n?" You struggled to turn to look at the one voice you were waiting to hear since you bumped into Tomura.

He had a tight grip on his bag as he realized who you were talking to.

"Don't try anything funny, unless you want your friend to perish." Tomura had a smile creeping up on his face knowing he had the upper hand, edging ever so slightly into an alleyway, pulling you along with him.

"Do-Don't worry, Todoroki." You choked from the lack of air as tears formed in your eyes.

"Ah, the son of Endeavour." Saying that just made Todoroki angrier than he already was.

"I wish we could have had more time to talk Y/n," He grazed his fifth finger on your neck, making it ever so slowly disintegrate your skin.

Your hands flew to your mouth to muffle the screams. "Especially since you went through all this trouble to come here to Japan. Oh well," He started to stand with making you move along with him. "Oh, and tell your uncle that I'll be coming for him soon. I'm off then." He let go of you and you let out a series of coughs as you tried to catch your breath. Before he could leave, he said. "If you try following me I'll get angry."

"Y/n!" Todoroki rushed over to you, he kneeled over to you, worry etched into his facial expressions. You immediately took off your jacket and placed it on your neck, still feeling it hurt like hell.

"You should be careful. The next time we meet will likely be when I have decided to kill you." And with that, he walks away into the crowd, disappearing instantly.

"Y/n, are you okay?" Todoroki asked you. You couldn't respond at the moment since you were still in shock and you needed to process everything that just happened. "Everyone's been looking for you. How did you end up all the way over here?"

Your lips quivered at his question, but your throat also ached with the pain of a thousand hot irons. The very real situation of what happened and what you've done dawning on you.

"Y/n, can you hear me?" Todoroki spoke again. You looked at him as he held your hand to try to stop it from shaking but to no avail. "Help will get here soon, just hold on." You tried to at least nod your head but the burning sensation proved the task to be more difficult.

"Here, let me see how bad it is." He carefully removed the jacket from your hand and from the wound and he was shocked to see how much blood had been soaked up. "You- You're gonna be fine, I promise." You knew it was bad if Todoroki was stuttering.

Once you were back with the group you found out Ochaco had already reported the incident and the shopping mall was temporarily closed. You got help from an ambulance and they told you that you were going to be okay. The police in the ward undertook an emergency investigation. But in the end, they couldn't find Tomura Shigaraki. You later found out that Shigaraki had approached Izuku and since you two were the ones who got in contact with the villain, the two of you were taken to the police station that day and you two told them everything.

Once that was over with, you exited the police station with Izuku and the investigator man. Outside All Might and Todoroki were waiting for you.

"Young Midoriya, Y/n, Tasukachi!" Your uncle greeted in his hero form. "I'm glad to see you're alright. I'm sorry I couldn't save you." He looked at you two with sorrowful eyes.

"It's okay." You croaked, still sore from the wound.

"I'm glad to see you're doing alright." Said Todoroki towards the two of you.

"Y/n, your...your mother wishes to speak to you now." All Might gave you his phone and it was already dialed to her number.

"Hello?" You answered a little ways away as they continued their conversation.

"Y/N! Oh my gosh, I'm so happy to hear from you." She sobbed on the other line.

"I'm happy to hear you too mo-"

"You're coming back here with me." You stood there for a moment, not sure if you heard her right.

"Come again?"

"You're in danger over there Y/n, I can't stand this, not knowing if you're doing okay or if there's a villain out to get you."

"But mom, it was inevitable, there was no way I could have prevented-"

"You could have prevented it if you were here with me." She cut you off. You could practically hear her pacing on the other line.

"Mom, but I-"

"I'm not going to argue right now Y/n, you're coming here with me tomorrow in the afternoon, I already booked your flight and I've already enrolled you in the school three blocks from the apartment."

"You can't do that!" You flinched when you felt your wound burn. "Mom, I really like it here, I don't want to go back, please I-"

"I said I wasn't going to argue with you now Y/n, this is my final decision, we can talk about it when you get back here. Goodbye." You heard the beeping noise from the other line signaling that the call was over. You hand dropped to your side in disbelief.

Right when I thought I was finally fitting in...

You walked over to the group and they fell silent, you knew they overheard your conversation. Without a single word, you handed over the phone to All Might.

"Y/n I know this hard but-" You didn't want to hear it from him, you didn't care how exhausted you would get, you teleported back to your room, panting from going such a long distance.

This wasn't how you wanted it to end, not like this.

You felt the tears bubbling up and you got a hold of your pillow only to throw it across the room.

Stupid villains ruining everything. You got on your bed and hugged your knees as you silently cried until you fell asleep.
