Chapter 1
"Oi! Tokoyami! Does this belong to you?"
Tokoyami turned from the front of the room and Aizawa to see Bakugou, late to class, standing in the doorway holding the hand of a small girl. She had a bird head with long gold and crimson feathers. She released the blonde's hand when she saw the jet-black bird.
"Fumi!" She rushed over to Tokoyami, who quickly scooped her up into a tight embrace.
"Sora, what are you doing here?" Tokoyami asked.
Sora frowned. "Mom forgot to pick me up from school today."
Shoji made a tentacle eye that darted between the two. "Is she your sister?"
"Yes, this is my little sister Sora." Tokoyami sighed. "Did you call dad?" he asked Sora.
Sora shook her head. "No, I don't want to hear him complain again. I walked to mom's house first, but I saw she was still taking her medicine, so I thought I would come visit you instead."
"Which medicine?" Tokoyami asked through gritted teeth. He could feel everybody's eyes on him and his sister. He was a relatively private person. He didn't want the entire class to learn what sorts of demons he battled in his homelife. However, his sister was more important than keeping any of his classmates from prying into his personal business.
"It was the whiskey one I think," she said, looking Tokoyami in the eyes. "Fumi, can I stay with you? I promise I will be quiet and good. I even packed all my stuff before leaving. I have clothes and snacks and everything."
She hopped off of Tokoyami's lap and took off her backpack. Dark Shadow emerged from Tokoyami's chest and helped the small girl set up her colors and placed a pair of headphones on her head.
"I...umm..." Tokoyami looked up Aizawa. "I'm not sure if that's allowed."
The teacher stared at his student and sighed. He remembered his experience visiting the Tokoyami household.
He had pulled up to the residence without All Might. Tokoyami met his teacher outside. He seemed rather relieved it was just his homeroom teacher. Before even entering, Tokoyami bowed and apologized for his parents. Aizawa had assumed it was simply Tokoyami being sensitive. He soon learned that he was wrong.
Aizawa could smell the alcohol in the air. He could hear a man yelling in the next room. Tokoyami led him into the living room where he saw a skinny man with dark hair yelling at a woman with a red bird head. She was slumped over sideways on the couch.
"We told his teacher to come over here, so you wouldn't be as embarrassing, but now this is even worse than if you didn't show up!" Tokoyami's father yelled.
The woman didn't respond with words. Instead she made a long groaning noise. Aizawa decided that now would be a good time to make his presence known.
"Hello," Aizawa said with a bow. The man took a moment to stare at his son and the teacher in silence before furiously yelling at the intoxicated woman. Tokoyami shook his head and took Aizawa into the kitchen. Aizawa was shocked to see a small, red and gold feathered girl sitting at the table. She was trying to eat some cereal with one hand, while pressing her head phones against her ears.
Tokoyami tapped the girl on her shoulder. She glanced up and removed her headphones. Aizawa could hear the loud metal music pounding through the speakers. "Who is this Fumi?"
"This is Aizawa Sensei. He is also the pro hero Eraserhead. I'm going to get dad to calm down. Can you keep Sensei company?" Though Tokoyami's tone was calm, his quirk had crept out of his back. Dark Shadow glared back into the living room. When the girl agreed, Tokoyami left the kitchen, Dark Shadow growing large.
Aizawa decided to start a conversation. "What's your name?"
"Sora."
"How old are you Sora?"
"Seven."
"I take it you are Tokoyami's sister."
"I am." She nodded with a big bite in her mouth. "Fumi and Dark Shadow's sister."
"Do you know why I am here?" Aizawa asked.
Sora nodded with a deep frown. "You want Tokoyami to move away."
"I want to help keep Tokoyami safe as he trains to be a hero. In order to do that, the school has created dorms for all the students to live in and be safe."
Sora stared aggressively at her cereal. The sounds of Tokoyami and his father yelling back and forth could be heard in the background. Aizawa cleared his throat. "I'm here to discuss this with the family. Since everyone else seems occupied, I will start with you. What are your thoughts?"
"I don't like it," the small child admitted. "However, I do know that if Fumi and Dark Shadows become heroes soon, then they can buy a home, and I can live with them. It will not be fun to be here without him, but I can endure it."
The yelling stopped, as Aizawa smirked. "He's going to be a great hero. I'm sure he will graduate as soon as he can."
The memory faded as Tokoyami stared at him with a worried look. "If she can entertain herself through class, then it won't be a problem," Aizawa sated.
Tokoyami smiled and bowed his head. "Thank you, Sensei. And thank you, Bakugou, for bringing her to class."
"Yeah, whatever." Bakugou walked to his desk and slumped down in his seat.
"Let's continue," Aizawa said, and turned back to the board towards his lecture.
Class came and went; the teachers switched in and out of the room. Tokoyami maintained his notes, while keeping an eye on Sora. Finally, lunch arrived. Aizawa's phone rang at the end of the last period. He looked down to see he had a message that could not be ignored.
"I am apparently needed for the rest of the afternoon. So your afternoon classes will need to be postponed to a later date." The class cheered, and Aizawa raised his hand to speak. "Before the rest of you leave, Tokoyami, may I speak with you in the hallway?"
"Of course." Tokoyami nudged his sister. She pulled off her head phones and looked at Tokoyami. "I need to talk to Aizawa Sensei. Will you be alright in here with the class alone?"
Sora nodded and stood up."Can I sit next to Bakugou? I like Bakugou. He reminds me of dad," Sora said as she gathered her things into her backpack.
Tokoyami looked at Bakugou, while the rest of the class shared concerned looks. "Only if Bakugou doesn't mind."
The blonde shrugged. "Whatever."
Sora walked over to Bakugou, and Tokoyami exited the room.
As soon as Tokoyami left the room, Ashido and Hagakure lept from their seats and rushed to the small girl. They leaned over and pressed their heads together.
"Hi, Sora! I'm Ashido!" She pointed to Hagakure. "This invisible chick is Hagakure!"
"You are so cute! I can't believe Tokoyami didn't introduce us to you sooner!" The Invisible girl touched the small child's head. Sora did not like that.
"DON'T TOUCH ME!" Sora screamed as loud as she could.
"What is wrong with you two?" Bakugou shouted over the girls shrills.
Tokoyami pushed in the door with Dark Shadow out in front of him. They were both completely distraught. "What happened?"
"Fucking racoon eyes and invisible chick touched her," Bakugou explained. "I don't know how to handle kids!"
Dark Shadow extended out through the class and picked up the small girl. Sora grabbed a hold of his arm as he brought the girl over to her brother. "Fumi, what is wrong with them?"
"They are very animated," Fumikage explained, placing a hand on her head. "Everyone please provide Sora her personal space." He brought the girl over to Tsuyu. "This is Tsuyu Asui. She has two siblings. She will be sure to make sure no one invades your personal space."
Sora stared at the frog girl's face. "You promise?"
"Ribbit. I promise."
Sora sat back down, this time under Tsuyu's desk. "Okay."
"Thank you," Fumikage said to Tsuyu, before walking back out to finish his conversation with Aizawa.
Tsuyu looked to the rest of the group. "Just let her get comfortable with us. If everyone just talks she will get comfortable. It will be okay."
Koda rubbed the back of his neck. "It's just strange that Tokoyami never brought her up in conversation."
"He probably just wanted to keep his family life to himself," said Todoroki.
"I don't talk to him much," mumbled Midoriya. "I feel like should be a better friend and ask him more about his life."
"Hey, idiots!" Bakugou shouted. "The kid is still in here. Just because she has headphones on doesn't mean she can't hear."
The group turned to see Sora staring at each one of them intently. She stood up and moved her headphone around her neck. No sound came from them. "It's nice to see Fumikage has a lot of friends that care about him."
"Of course, we care about him," saluted Iida. "We are all passionate U.A. students in the top hero course class. We must protect each other and our school's reputation."
Sora smiled sweetly. "You're funny. You must have a funny quirk."
"My quirk isn't funny. My quirk is precious, see?" Iida lifted a leg up on the chair of his desk. "I have engines in my legs that allow me to move with great speed and agility."
Each member of the class took this moment to share their quirk. When they got to Ochaco, she chose to demonstrate before explaining. She gently tapped Sora on the back and the girl began to float.
"I can make things float," Ochaco said.
Sora giggled as she lifted off the ground. "I'm flying."
At that moment Midoriya moved next to Ochaco. "Wow, you've gotten really good at controlling that," Midoriya noted. His arm swung to his side and grazed against her hip.
Ochaco blushed and jumped, pressing her fingers together. As she did Sora dropped, rapidly approaching the ground. Tsuyu extended her tongue and grabbed the child's leg. Her arm hit against one of the desks. A large snap echoed through the room, and the girl began to wail.
Outside in the hallway Aizawa and Tokoyami spoke in hushed voices.
"I can guarantee she can stay tonight and even tomorrow," Aizawa said. "I will have to report that she is here and why she is here."
"I understand," Tokoyami nodded. "Thank you for allowing this."
"Don't thank me yet," Aizawa said. "I am unaware of any legal circumstances. I will have to call child protective services."
"It's fine. This was my mother's last opportunity. At this point my father will gain full custody."
"That doesn't make me any lesson concerned," Aizawa stated. "I have seen him yell, and I have seen you yell back. I don't want him to be a poor influence on you."
Tokoyami nodded. "I understand."
Aizawa placed a hand on Tokoyami's shoulder. "Hang in there. You're being an excellent older brother."
"Thank you," Tokoyami said with a smile.
Suddenly, a large crash and a wail came from inside the room. "Oh no," Tokoyami groaned.
Aizawa sighed. "It hasn't even been five minutes."
Tokoyami rushed back through the door to see Sora clutching her arm. Tears were streaming down her face, dripping onto the injured limb.
"It was an accident!" Ochaco and Midoriya yelled together.
Tokoyami rolled his eyes and calmly walked over to Sora. He looked at her arm and sighed. "This will take more than tears to fix." He turned his head to Bakugou. "Bakugou, your assistance is required."
Bakugou scoffed and walked over to Tokoyami. "Yeah, what now?"
"I need you to light Sora on fire," Tokoyami stated flatly.
"WHAT?" The rest of the class yelled.
Tokoyami rolled his eyes. "It's part of her quirk."
Bakugou glanced at Tokoyami before raising his hand. "Alright." The blonde began to spark off tiny explosions, sending them at the girl.
Sora's arm began to crackle and hiss. He skin shriveled up like burnt paper. Slowly, she turned into nothing but her clothes on top of a pile of ash.
"AHH! SHE'S BURNT TO A CRISP" the rest of the class shouted.
Tokoyami just stared at the pile of ash. There was a sudden pop and then a flash of bright gold and red. The light blinded all the onlookers. Once the light had faded the class was able to look and see Sora, healthy and bubbly, standing in the spot she once was.
Sora rushed over to Bakugou and grabbed the palm of his hand. "Do that again!"
Bakugou, slightly puzzled, sparked up his hand and the child grabbed flame. He body fell to ash again, and with another bright flash she emerged once more.
"That's enough Sora," Tokoyami scolded.
"But Bakugou doesn't need matches." She gasped. "We can play ring around the roses!"
"Perhaps later," said Tokoyami. His sister's face looked disheartened. "Everyone is hungry, Sora, it is time for lunch." He extended his hand, and the small child gathered her things and rushed over to her brother.
"Wait," called Midoriya. "How did she do that?"
"Oh, Sora's a phoenix," Tokoyami explained. He bent down and picked up his sister. "Now, let's get some lunch." He walked away, leaving the entire class stunned that such a quirk could exist.
