Symbols of Peace

By TimeAndLife21

Chapter 1

It was just another day at work. Working as an Animal Vet, or rather Canine Vet, made things easier. She had lived in Japan most of her life, and then a very short time in the Americas. After a rather devastating injury 7 years ago, she couldn't use her Quirk just the same anymore.

Being a hero was something she had always done since her graduation from UA. And for quite some time she was quite happy with being in life threatening situations that could have gotten her killed...if it wasn't for that one hero that she had been good friends with for a long time.

Her age was a bit of a stinging sensation for her, but she still looked like she was in her late 20s. Good genetics she supposed. Wearing a labcoat, short heels, baggy sweater, and a black skirt, most would assume she was younger than she really is. Now with super thick coke bottle glasses, it was the perfect cover for her to not go back to being a Pro Hero.

She reached her home and sighed. It wasn't a large home. It was three bedroom, two Bathroom, with a decent sized living room and kitchen. What sold her on the house was the fact that it had a rather nice basement that acted as a bomb shelter, which she wuold use as a traning ground of some sort. She used her hero savings to buy this house and she is never going to let this house go.

She unlocked the door and walked inside. Leaving her shoes in the small mudroom and kept walking. There were pictures everywhere of her and her family, as well as close friends that she hasn't seen in years. It made her feel at home.

She hung up her lab coat and called out, "I'm Home! Jacques!" She called out for her cute labradoodle.

She had just gotten the dog last year as a runt of the litter. Her quirk being pretty much anything a wolf can do, and not to mention she can turn into a house sized wolf with an unpierceable hide, well she can't help but slightly brag about it. She saw the fight in Jacques eyes when he was being roughhoused around by his older siblings, so she took him home no questions asked. Funnily enough Jaqcues grew to the size of a small pony.

"Jacques?" She called out meekly as she flexed her hands, making her claws come out and she bared her sharp fanged teeth.

She heard shuffling in the kitchen.

If there was an intruder in her home, she will not show mercy. As the retired pro hero, She-Wolf, she would make sure the intruder would be punished severely. She heard something in her kitchen and she quietly went to the doorway before running out and jumping at the intruder.

"How dare you break into MY ho-WHA!?" She didn't realize that her intruder was none other than a man whom she had always admired, unfortunately she couldn't stop herself in mid air as she crashed into the beanpole that was Toshinori Yagi.

He was just as surprised as her as apparently she took him by surprise and took the hit from her. There was a tangle of limbs and she heard barking from Jacques as he walked over and started wagging his tail at the pile of limbs.

"Ah~, Tsugiyumi Natsume… you haven't changed…" A low baritone hit her sensitive ears as she looked up at the sunken face of Toshinori Yagi. She could see his deep blue eyes in the shadows of his face and she smiled at him.

"Ne, you are still the same weirdo that likes to break into my home, don'cha?" She smirked.

A small comfortable silence went between the two of them despite their tangle mess...at least until Toshinori started coughing up blood, in turn, Natsume started to freak out.

"OH MY HELL, YOU'RE COUGHING UP BLOOD!

30 minutes later…

Natsume took off her thick glasses she looked at the man sitting across from her. Her sparkling gold eyes took in the picture of the beanpole that was in front of her petting her dog and drinking her tea.

"So, you're in town for a little bit? You could have called, you could have written…." She trailed off as she took a sip of her tea.

"You don't leave a forwarding address." He spoke to her.

Then again...she didn't give out her address unless absolutely necessary.

"Point taken. I bought this house three years ago and managed to pay it all off with my Hero Savings, still have plenty to go around too. I didn't think to tell anyone really…" She spoke quietly.

She didn't have to. She wanted to leave her old town. Which is why she moved back to the town in which she had school. Funnily enough, She lived just a couple blocks down away from UA. She still visited her family on holidays, seeing her brothers still doing hero work, she on the other hand…

"I had to track you down somehow. Your Brother, Ookami, told me that you moved here." Toshinori smirked at her.

"Of course he did, he worries to much." She spoke softly as she rubbed her throat a little. "That doesn't explain why you are here."

"You moved to Musufatu to stay close to the school. I wonder why." He said as he petted her dog on the head.

"I like him, Master! He smells of the fresh air and mint." Jaqcues barked, not that Toshinori could translate his barkings.

"Let's just say I feel nostalgic. Not to mention, I like staying around and seeing the students walk down the street. Sound familiar?" She closed her eyes and she can remember the images in her mind flash before her eyes.

Todoroki Enji, Toshinori Yagi, and herself.

Those were the good old days. They would argue, they would laugh, she could remember Enji and Toshinori get into a bit of a good natured scuffle. She could remember trying to break up said scuffles but realizing it was an ill fated decision. She would still have to patch up the two of them afterwards.

Those days were gone though...she did enjoy looking back on those memories.

"Ah...stuck in the past?" He rumbled.

"No, just remembering the fun times we had. But that still doesn't explain why you are here." She sharpened her eyes at the man across from her.

He paused in his petting Jacques, and sat back in his chair and sighed. A few minutes passed by. And he told her his reason. He spoke of finding a successor, and his acception to be a teacher (A TEACHER? WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD ASK HIM TO BE A TEACHER?), and that he could only keep up his other Hero Persona All Might up for three hours. It was worse than she thought.

All because of the attacks from 5 years ago...she remembered it well. She looked at the side of his body where she knew the scar was. Losing some of his organs...she knew she would have died immediately…

To see that he is still alive… well that was his incredible will keeping him up.

She sighed and shook her head.

"A teacher…" She smiled and chuckled. "Wow, to think you would be the one to become a teacher. I can just imagine you in your booming voice and telling kids that they can become heroes through hard work and dedication. "

Toshinori coughed as he laughed.

"Really? I could even help them with their costumes and hero names." He smiled.

"Knowing you, you'd probably choose All Might jr." She laughed as her wolf ears and tail popped out.

She never could control her quirk with extreme emotions, like laughing. She calmed down a bit and she shook her head, her black hair coming out from it's bun, letting down loosely over her shoulders and settling over her chest.

"So...you accepted the job then? I guess it's hard to see how the mighty has fallen." She pointed at herself and him.

Some Pro Heros retire for personal reasons, others extreme injuries, and hearing that he would become a teacher, was just another way that heroes couldn't be around forever. But in a way, she could see that he would be a good teacher. He had the drive to help people, maybe this would be another path for him.

"Wow, The only other person I can think of that wouldn't take a teaching position is Enji...and I haven't seen him since his marriage to Yukisawa Rei." She frowned. "Sure, I've seen him on TV and everything, it's just I haven't the chance to really…"

She didn't contact her friends or old peers often after she started working as a Hero. As She Wolf of the North she took down villains. It was a very busy time for her. It wasn't until All Might, kept asking her for basically back-up support when he needed her. Damage control. Well that part didn't help considering that she could transform herself into a wolf the size of a house, but she was also making sure that people got to a safe place while All Might would be pounding the ever loving shit out of the perpetrator.

"Well…" She switched back to the teacher subject. "So you need a successor? One for All?" She placed her tea down and sighed closing her eyes.

Oh, she knew about his quirk. Toshinori knew how to keep a secret, especially when it comes to that, but after fighting together, helping each other, rescuing each other… he let her in on his secret. And to know that it was a burden, she helped him out of that. But when she got injured 7 years ago, she retired because of the injury. Became a Canine vet in its place.

But Toshinori...All Might… to hear that he could only keep up his hero form for three hours is devastating.

"Yeah...That is why I'm becoming a teacher. To find my successor and hopefully teach students of leaning to become a hero in their own rights." He sighed.

"I can see why." She nodded in understanding. "But what does that have to do with me?" She asked with her ears flat against her skull.

"Uh… Well I...Thought you could...er…" He started to shake and stutter.

"Oh boy, he's nervous…" She thought with a flat face.

"Spit it out…" She stared at him in slight irritation.

"I was hoping that you would...allowmetolivewithyoutemporaily!?" He spoke rapidly.

"Eh?" She blinked once, then twice before she realize what he was asking for.

"You...want to live with me?" She spoke meekly before shaking her head good naturally and giggled.

"Is that all you are worried about?" She smiled up at him with gold eyes sparkling.

"Well, it is considered rude to ask to live with a woman…" He shouted mostly at himself.

"You broke into my house first weirdo, I think that's a bit more rude…" She shot back as he cringed at the fact he did so.

"It's...it's only until I can find a place, Then I can be out of your hair." He rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

She blinked at him and shook her head before standing up and walking over to him. He was still sitting down. She stood close to him and looked down at him. The baggy clothes he would wear when he would transform hung on him. Back in their youth, he was a very good looking young man. He still is to her at least. She tenderly stood between his legs and took him by the shoulders to hug him close to her, his head lying on her stomach.

"You really are a weirdo… " She spoke tenderly to her old friend, "My door is always open. If you need to stay for awhile, you can."

She felt his arms wrap around her waist and hugging her back.

"Thank You, Natsume." He spoke gratefully.

"Just as long as you don't go into your Hero Form, I would appreciate it." She smiled as she ran her hands through his scraggly hair.

Yes, it was an old friendship that will fan into flames yet again. She just didn't realize that things just might go haywire. She just hoped that trouble didn't follow...oh how wrong she was.

TAL21: I watched Boku No Hero Acadamia and I have to tell you...I got hooked on like a fish and bait. It's pretty damn awesome and it helped me with some writers blocks that I hit. Not to mention...another story. So basically, I'm following the Anime(Given the fact that reading Manga on the Net is getting harder to get a hold of), and so If there are things that I am missing, please don't hesitate to point them out. I'd have to admit, I do enjoy the storyline and the multitude of characters (Even though I can't really name half of them.) I will say this though, My favorite Charectors not in any order: Tsuyu, Izuku, Toshinori Yagi, Fumikage, Uraraka, Shoto, Katsuki, and Tenya. I have to admit they are the one who stood out to me the most really. But out of the few that stood out: Toshinori Yagi. Granted I laugh everytime he turns into All Might, but really, there's something that just very inspiring about him that I wanted to make a retired Pro Hero Retiree OC be a bit of an old flame from his past. Now, I have not read the manga, so I apologize If I'm following the Anime rather than the Manga. Seriously, I've been binge watching BnHA and I just ended on the recent episode on Hulu, so I'm pretty stoked.

These are Basically a collection of one-shots that surround Natsume and Yagi. Some chapters will be humorous, Some will be dramatic, even romantic. Basically, flying from the seat of my pants on this because it's just so much fun to write this. Some other characters will show up too. :) I won't neglect them because well, I'm watching the Sub and Dub of the anime to be able to write a bunch of these. :) So I hope that You guys will enjoy! The Theme of the chapter is Wolves By Selena Gomez and Marshmallow. Give it a hear as you read it it sounds pretty neat. :) As for new readers, welcome to Symbols Of Peace. I'll see you in the next chapter! :D

Question Time: What do you like about BnHA? It's a pretty amazing anime that I wish I started watching from the beginning. Still better late than Never. :)

KEEP ON READING AND WRITING! :D
