A.N: Due to popular demand I received I decided to write two new fanfics. One is about how Hiro and Cora met and become Boyfriend and Girlfriend, and the other will be the events of Big Hero 7 the movie. This shall be the origins of Hiro and Cora's relationship. I'll write the second one after I finish up Food Fight and Muirahara Woods because of the new episodes has yet to show online. Hope you enjoy this!
Update: The show updated with more episodes...meaning I have to write those before I can work on the BH7 movie fanfic. :)
Either way, on with the show!
* Across the Pacific ocean the sun begins to rise in the east, the ocean sparkles with light as the mist parted ways to reveal San Fransokyo. The lights eventually hits on a small house, where a family of three live. The light shines through a port window which roused a person on a futon mattress beside it, the person shifted before it revealed itself to be a 13 year old girl with dyed blue hair. She is shorter than most girls her age, and her figure still resembles that of a child and yet it is starting to curve a little bit. She stood up in her futon mattress as she looks at the sun outside. She stands up and makes her futon mattress decent, and then she looked at her surroundings; her room is decorated with posters ranging from robotics, the ocean, and old anime posters like Sailor Moon and Revolutionary Girl Utena. She straightens her baby blue nightgown before she walks out her room and into the bathroom, she looks at herself in the mirror as she brushes her teeth and looks at herself. She sighs in disappointment that her bust remained small, but she quickly shakes hear head from focusing on her lack of mature body and starts her day. With the dawn still young she dresses herself to her outfit, a yellow tank top with a sea green plated skirt, she brushes her hair and places her purple eye contacts. She heads downstairs once more to prepare for breakfast, setting water to boil to put the rice in. A drop of hot water slightly burns her hand as she reacts with a soft ow; when she stirs the rice she hears footstep coming in the kitchen.*
Kaguya: Good morning Cora.
*The girl named Cora turns her head to give a small smile to the old woman wearing the traditional kimono with her signature cane.*
Cora: Good Morning Grandmama.
*After she was done cooking she places their breakfast on the table and walks out to wake the third person in her family. She gently opens the door to see her Father, who is slowly waking up from his deep slumber. Cora looks at the table in his room and found it filled with bills and job resumes. She sighs as she sits beside her father as his massive figure lifts up and his vision clears to see his daughter.
Cora: Morning Papa.
*Mizuchi slowly walks to the table where his daughter and mother-in-law are waiting for him. He sits down and eats his breakfast, his eyes weary and lost. Cora sighs as she begins to eat her breakfast as well. After breakfast the father and daughter are sitting in the living room where it had a TV with a VCR, a blue ray player, VHS tapes and DVDs of old and new anime and movies. Cora looks around before she brings out the small robot she made; the robot was small, sleek and pale as a pearl and resembled more of an egg. When she brings out her controller she activates the robot. The robot activates its eyes to a electric green eyes and floats around to Mizuchi where it begins to dance. Though it does not have legs the robot moved with grace and purity. Mizuchi looked at the robot and his daughter and gave a small smile...just for a little while. Cora's smile drops as she stops playing with the robot she made and puts it in her dress pocket.*
Kaguya: Cora, its time to go grocery shopping.
*Cora nodded as she stands up and tiptoes to kiss her father on the cheek as she prepares to join her grandmother. She puts on her outdoor shoes, which are her favorite rain boots, and steps out.*
Cora: We're heading out Papa...We'll be home soon...
Mizuchi: Be safe.
* After the grandmother and girl get on the trolley the city begins to come alive. The stores are opening as people soon fill the streets to go wherever they need to go. Cora looks at her grandmother is checking over the money in her purse as she looks to the streets across them. She sees a group of young friends walking and talking happily as a young couple hold hands and kiss. Cora sighs sadly at the sight as she looks down at her feet, and her grandmother notices this but said nothing. Once at the stop they got off the trolley and walk to the grocery store, and once inside Cora grabbed a basket and begin to search for their groceries. Kaguya spots a familiar face nearby and places a hand on her shoulder.*
Kaguya: Cora, there's a music store nearby that you can visit right now. They are even having a sale right now, here.
*She places a few dollar bills in Cora's hand but Cora begins to shake her head.*
Cora: N-no Grandmama, groceries are important I-I don't need to-
Kaguya: I insist. You are still young, enjoy your life.
*Cora sighs in defeat as she hands the basket to her grandmother and walks out the store. Once she was gone the old woman turned around and saw the person she recognized.*
Kaguya: How are you doing today Felony Carl?
Felony Carl: Fine, I'm getting some Tofu and apples as my doctor recommended. Was that your granddaughter earlier?
Kaguya: Indeed.
*Both Felony Carl and Kaguya walk over to the apple stand where they begin to look for good apples.*
Felony Carl: She's a lot quieter than what you told me.
Kaguya: I know. Cora has been shy and quiet yes but she has this burst of life inside. Like how she would splash around in the waves and search for sea shells. In a way she's an oyster.
Felony Carl: Grey on the outside but a hidden gem within?
Kaguya: Exactly, like her mother...but ever since my Son-in-law was fired he had been struggling to find a job and paying for the bills. Cora is worried sick about him, and it doesn't help that his weariness is obvious in his eyes.
Felony Carl: I understand that, when people look at me they get scared and want nothing to do with me.
Kaguya: Mhmm, Cora has been home schooled her entire as I recall telling you.
Felony Carl: Yeah, cause she hacked into her dad's computer at age four?
Kaguya: And Mizuchi protectiveness kept her from going to school in fear she will be ostracized. But I seen how Cora looks at the children her age...she wants friends...and possibly someone who loves her.
Felony Carl: You mean as in a romantic sense?
Kaguya: Yes. But with Mizuchi's financial struggles Cora will be forced to push away her desires. She's been the main chef and caretaker of the house and has been thinking of selling her sea shell collection. And she may think of never going to College.
Felony Carl: That's tough.
Kaguya: I wonder what Akemi would do... I know Cora needs to make the first step to talk to people...and yet I hope that someone will see Cora and cherish her... someone who can understand her and connect to her...
* Meanwhile around the same time, the cafe is buzzing with customers as Cass Hamada is busy taking orders. Upstairs at the moment two brothers are up and ready to start the day. The older brother is putting on his baseball head while the younger is making some adjustments on a small,black, somewhat derpy robot.*
Tadashi: OK Hiro, I'm off to catch up with some friends, and remember to call me if you need anything or if you're heading out.
Hiro: Kay, I will.
*The boy named Hiro is a 13 year old genius prodigy and his brother is Tadashi, a intelligent young man with a good heart. Tadashi calls out as he heads downstairs.*
Tadashi: Don't give Aunt Cass any trouble OK?
Hiro: I hear ya.
*Once Tadashi heads downstairs Hiro fixes up the bot with a satisfied smile.*
Hiro: OK, now that you're fixed up Megabot, I'm going to head to the mechanics store and upgrade your controller, after all another bot fight is coming up tonight.
*He goes to his drawer where he pulls up a panel where he placed the cash he won over from the bot fights before. He had to admit, he was impressed of himself that he can make this large sum of money from bot-fighting. He supposed he could almost thank the bullies from high school for driving him towards Bot-fighting, where he can use his big brain to for the thrill of beating everybody to a pulp. He shook his head to avoid the memories of High school and the harassment he endured there, after all he had just graduated last week and now has the summer to himself.*
Hiro: Alright that should be enough.
*With that he heads downstairs and through the cafe where he sneaks in a cookie.*
Hiro: I'm heading off to the mechanics store, I'll be back soon!
Cass: Be safe!
*With that Hiro heads off down the street to get the parts for his upcoming bot-battle that night. Meanwhile at the other side of the town Cora wearily looks around the music store, spotting whole shelves ranging from vinyl record players to digital songs displayed on Holograms. She holds tightly to her purse as she looks at the songs available in the anime and movie soundtrack.*
?: Hey kid.
*Cora looks up and turns her head to see a woman in expensive make-up and rather revealing clothing. Cora diverts her eyes the other way as she addresses the scantily clad female.*
Cora: I-is there a-anything you want?
Scanty: Not really...but you certainly do have something on your mind.
Cora: W-what do you uh...mean?
Scanty: You've been pressing the scroll button for too long that its speeding up.
*Cora sees the scroll bar in the hologram as it became non-visible as blurry icons of songs zoom past her. She lets go of the button as she looks down at her feet blushing.*
Scanty: I guess you have something going on in your head?
Cora: Yeah... there's... a little trouble at home...Money trouble...
*The scantily dressed lady sighs before she grabs the young girl to a more secluded part of the store.*
Scanty: How old are you kid?
Cora:What?
Scanty: I'm asking how old are you?
Cora:...13 ma'm.
*The lady nods her head before she whispers to Cora.*
Scanty: If you're looking for quick cash I might be able to help.
*Cora's eyes light up at the prospect that she could earn money to help her father.*
Cora: Really? What is it? I'll do anything!
Scanty: There's two people I know that are looking for a double date, and since my old business partner bailed out on me...you might be a possible candidate to date the other guy. And they are paying good money for the date.
*Cora's eyes slowly widened in shock as she realizes what the lady is offering her. The lady notices the look in the young girl's eyes.*
Scanty: Look kid, I know this is a big girl's game but if you want to help our your folks you gotta be out there. Sides, you're pretty enough for guys to see you, even if you are a little...flat.
*Cora consciously covers her chest as she looks down at her feet.*
Scanty: The date is nearby by Good Luck Alley where a bot fight is hosting.
Cora: A bot fight? I thought the Bot fight tournament is at the capital.
Scanty: Thats the not the bot fight I'm talking about. This one is where the people bet on the fighters, and if you are lucky enough to win you might just get some good cash.
*Seeing this as a chance to make money, she quickly pulls out her robot that was in rest mode.*
Cora: I have a robot! Its in rest mode but it should-
*That is when the lady snickers at the girl, she clears her throat after a little bit and faces Cora.*
Scanty: That's a sweet thought, but there is no way you can beat those big boys at a bot fight, especially since your robot is basically an egg. You can set for life by going on these dates with the guys offering good money. Sides its not illegal, you're 13. You're of age of consent. Since its you're first time I'll just call them and tell them that we'll just going out for dinner and nothing more.
*The lady picks up her stuff and starts to walk out, and Cora follows her to the exit.*
Scanty: It's your choice baby girl, either you face money trouble or you can go on these men s and have them beg you to date them. Who knows, if you're good enough you'll be a favorite.
*The Lady walks away down the street leaving Cora looking at her robot in hand. She then looks at the direction the lady walked down and sighs. She then decided to head back to the grocery store, keeping the event the lady told her in her head.*
* Hiro arrives at the store as he immediately searches for the part for his controller. The cashier greeted Hiro, since he remembers the times both Tadashi and Hiro come over to the store to buy the tools and gears they need. Hiro only gave a dismissive hello before he inspected some of the gears in the shelf. Just then another person comes into the store, a big jock with a Letterman jacket coming in and spotting the young teenager.*
Jocky Jerk: Well look over here, if it isn't Zero the brainiac twerp.
*Hiro sighs but refuses to acknowledge the older adolescent as he continues to rummage through the wires.*
Jocky Jerk: I'm talking to you freak.
Hiro scrunches up his nose in disgust as he speaks without turning his head to acknowledge him.*
Hiro: Hello Kurt.
*Kurt smirks as he heads over and ruffles Hiro's hair which made the young boy groan.*
Kurt: Hadn't seen you in graduation, what sort of things you're doing you little twerp.
Hiro: I know I'm not repeating a year of high school and taking summer school while being kicked out of the football team.
*Kurt's smirk is wiped clean as it turns a murderous glare, he looks around and then has a devilish grin.*
Kurt: Looks like your annoying nerdy brother isn't here, so I'm sure you don't mind if we head out and talk-
Cashier: Sir, if you're not buying anything, I suggest you leave right now.
*Kurt scoffs as he shoves Hiro before he exits the door. Hiro gives a scoff in return as he grabs what he needs and paid for it; the cashier then directs Hiro to the back exit so he won't be attacked by Kurt and possibly his goons like Ram.*
Cashier: Seriously kid, I don't know how you handle those jerks. I probably wet myself if I made that comment to that big donkey like you did.
Hiro: Eh, guys like Kurt are idiots. He's butt-hurt cause I refused to take his SAT exam, sides I'm used to it.
Cashier: Why didn't you tell your brother? He always stuck out his neck for you, so why haven't you told him this?
*Hiro sighs as he turns to face the cashier.*
Hiro: Tadashi's been really busy with an after school project and is rarely home. I don't want to bother him.
Cashier: *Sighs* OK then, well I'll see ya later. Tell Cass and Tadashi I said Hi!
Hiro: K.
*With that Hiro exits through the back and safely to the streets. He passes through the corner where the other jocks are waiting to ambush him. But they were confused on whats taking Hiro so long to get out. Once Hiro makes it safely to his street address he snickers quietly over the stupidity of those pea-brained jocks. He enters inside the Cafe where Cass is delivering juice to an group of elderly people.*
Cass: Hey Hiro, how was the trip?
Hiro: It was fine, nothing much. I'll be heading upstairs K? I'll make sure Mochi's ok.
Cass: Alright Hiro!
*Hiro heads upstairs ans starts getting to work on his controller, anticipating for the bot-fight tonight.*
* The day turns to an early evening where Cora is back home, facing a dilemma, and her father is out looking for work while her grandmother is out there doing whatever she's doing. She sprawled out two outfits for her to change; one is a set of a black shirt with dark cargo pants and boots complete with a traditional Japanese cat mask, and second one is a sleeveless knee length red dress with black flats and a see through black shawl. She paces back and forth as she thinks over what she should do. These two are both dangerous in its own way. On one hand she could battle off fighters that would be more aggressive since the rules of the tournament will not apply to the streets. But on the other hand she will be facing older men who she has no idea who they are and may potentially be dangerous.*
Cora: Ok Cora...maybe I should get a glass of water.
*With that Cora closes the door behind her as she heads down to grab a glass. She drinks the glass of water as she passes by the living room where she sees it...a small Butsudan dedicated to her mother... Cora sighs before she heads over to the small shrine. She kneels down in front of the bustudan and clasp her hands in a prayer, she takes a deep breath before she looks up.*
Cora: Hi Mama...how are you? I mean... I know you're dead, but I hope you're OK in...wherever you are now...
* Cora goes quiet for a few moments before she speaks again.*
Cora: Papa has been teaching me self-defense for a while, and Grandmama says I'm becoming strong. Also, I've graduated...in a sense...I finished my high school course, I even got a diploma.
*Cora points to a diploma where it states that Cora graduated as a home-schooled girl. But Cora's forced smile fades as she looks back at the shrine and talks again.*
Cora: Mama...I'm really worried about Papa... Ever since he was fired he looks so defeated and lost and I can't bear to see him like this anymore... I want to help anyway I can...actually that's whats happening now... A lady from earlier told me that she's looking for a partner for a double date and that they'll pay me... she also told me about a bot fight that's happening at the same time but she says I have no chance... Mama what am I going to do? I don't know how these people will be like when I go against them, but I also don't want to go with these strangers for a date...what would Papa and Grandmama say...
*Cora turns her head to another section of the shrine and saw a picture of her mother when she was pregnant and her father, they were both smiling. Thats when she gains a determined look on her face.*
Cora: You know what Mama? I'm not going to that double date. I'm going bot-fighting! If I go out on a date I want it to be with someone who loves me and is around my age, not be paid like a doll for a middle aged man whose desperate to buy dates from girls like me.
*Cora stands up but quickly kneels down to end her prayer.*
Cora: Thank you Mama for listening. I'll be careful at that bot fight!
*She then stands up and leaves, not noticing how the candle flame brighten with soft warmth on the main picture of her mother, a beautiful woman with golden hair and sea blue eyes smiling gently. She enters her room as she looks at the outfit for bot fighting.*
Cora: Alright now! Lets get to work!
*Cora spends a few hours working on her robot so that she'll be more suited for a intense bot fight rather than the fragile dancing robot she made as a child. She upgrades the controller with spare parts as she adjusts wires. Once she was done she grabs the outfit and starts dressing up. Now she appears more of a rouge modern ninja as she packs her robot, controller, and cat mask in her bag. She then writes a note to her family saying that she is using the money her grandmother gave her to see a movie and won't be back for a while. She knew that her father will still panic since she's going out by herself, but this is a risk she must take. She then makes a makeshift rope to climb out the port hole window, and due to her small height she can manage with ease. Once on the floor she starts sneaking through the streets as she heads her way to Good Luck Alley. A decision that will change her life forever.
* The evening begin to darken by the time Tadashi heads back to the Cafe where Cass is making some cappuccinos for her customers and smiles when he sees Hiro helping out by picking up the dirty dishes.*
Tadashi: Hey Aunt Cass, hows it going?
Cass: Its been good so far, Hiro has been helping me for a while now. He even fixed the espresso machine!
*Said espresso machine coughs a few times before it resumes to normal.*
Cass: Hopefully it'll last long enough to save up for a new one.
Tadashi: Alright Cass.
*Tadashi heads to Hiro who is struggling with the massive load of dirty dishes, where he surprises Hiro by lending a hand to carry the dishes together.
Hiro: Tadashi you're back early!
Tadashi: Nice to see you too knucklehead, yeah I've managed to get some stuff more than usual and decided to come home early for a day off.
Hiro: Cool!
*Hiro gives a somewhat strained smile, because while he's happy Tadashi is here right now, he was hoping he would be gone enough to sneak out without raising suspicion.*
Tadashi: Something on your mind nerd?
Hiro: * Smirks* Who are you calling a nerd, nerd king?
Tadashi: *Chuckles* Alright, if you say so.
*After a while with the shop for and Cass finishing up dinner Tadashi and Hiro talk over their day.*
Tadashi: So you went over to the mechanics store? How's Willie doing?
Hiro: Willie's fine, just getting some stuff for me to experiment with.
Tadashi: Hopefully not like how you turned every utensil into a rocket which caused a fork to land on my forehead.
Hiro: It was funny and you know it Dashi.
*Tadashi shakes his head as he chuckles, his little brother is definitely up to something for sure. After dinner Tadashi and Hiro head up to their room where the older brother opens the screen door and flops down on his bed.*
Tadashi: Welp, today was exhausting, just gonna lie down here and sleep like the dead.
Hiro: OK, sides I think I'm gonna crash down soon.
Tadashi: Alright, night Hiro.
Hiro: Night nerd.
*Hiro gets to his bed where he simply waited for the soft snoring of his brother. Once he knew that Tadashi is in deep sleep Hiro quietly gets up and takes Megabot, his controller, and the wad of money to bet. Once he gets out of the house he dashes towards Good Luck alley, excitement running through his system as he can't wait to win the jackpot tonight, equally unaware that his life will change forever.
*At the time of Hiro and his family are having their dinner Cora had arrived at Good luck alley. She spots from the distance the scantily clad lady with two older gentlemen, and the men looking more impatient as the time goes by. She hides behind a trash can as the men finally fed up and they walked with the lady together.*
Enjo: Can't believe this, that little piece of shit ditched out on us.
Kosai: Eh, maybe its for the best. I wanted a busty lady, not some flat chested brat.
*Cora held her breath as they walked down her path, waiting for the men and the lady to go away. But she did notice that the lady gave what is like a small sigh of relief over the girl not showing up. Once she was sure they were gone Cora headed up and waited for the person running the bot-fight. She immediately slips on her cat mask as she meets up the person in charge.*
Hime Na: What do you want kid?
*Cora's mind went to a state of internal panic. What was she going to say? How will the lady respond?! What if they turn her away?!*
Hime Na: I'm waiting.
*Cora then remembers the time her father had scared of a group of rude teenagers when they were at the beach. His eyes burned along with his height that made them run in fear. Cora's eyes became determined as she simply pulls out some of the money and points to the bot fight ring, giving off her best imitation of her strong father.*
Hime Na: Alright, ya can go.
*Cora gives a nod before she seats herself to the opponent seat, which caught the woman off guard since she thought that the kid merely wanted to watch the fight and not be part of it. The first person to come was a late adolescent male with serious acne problems and a neck beard.*
Neck beard: Lookie here, a little cosplayer.
* The crowd began to snicker as Cora remained silent.*
Neck Beard: Anyway, I'll go easy on you kid since this is your first time.
*He pulls out a robot that appears to have muscle and doing macho like poses. Needless to say that he was compensating for something very important. Cora pulls out her robot as she activates it with her controller, the robot goes from her egg mode to her robot form, still floating with electric green eyes.*
Neck Beard: Aww is the little kid gonna beat me with their little EVE dollie-
* Thats when Cora launched her attack.*
*Hiro arrives at Good Luck alley as he makes his way through the crowd to sign up for the bot fight. Once he signs up by using his innocent boy charm he sets out on the opposite side of the alley where another ring is open.*
Spector #1: Have ya heard? Some kid beat the living crap out of Yabo.
Spector #2: Oh man I never seen that loser bawl so hard hard, and that kid just keeps beating everyone every single time!
Spector #1: Yup, I heard that when the two best bot fighters here get a special event where'll there'll be a ton of dough!
* Hiro is intrigued by this news. A new arrival that may be the perfect challenge for him? This is going to be fun. He immediately starts his usual bit where he'll appear as a first-timer bot fighter and purposely lose, then go around and beat them. Once he finishes a number of rounds the person shows him the person he'll face next.*
Hime Na: Looks like you two are going to be very interesting.
*Thats when he finally gets a good view of his new rival. A person around his age wearing a cat mask in modern ninja clothing using what looks like a slimmer version of Eve from Walle and mercilessly beat its much larger opponent. Due to its small stature and electro-magnetic suspension that causes the bot to float it can easily dodge and land a swift hit that ultimately left the rival bot scrambled.*
Hime Na: Looks like we have our winner! Now then, Nekodome come here.
*The one called Neko stands up and walks over as they pick up their bot, not even uttering a word.*
Hime Na: Now that we have our two reigning champions...its time for the Duo Dual!
*The crowd began to chant as both Hiro and the person become confused. They thought they were gonna fight each other, not partner up! *
Hime Na: Now that these two are placed in the duo dual they will face more danger for the large cash prize! Can these kids beat the baddest of the bad? Lets find out!
*Hiro and the person look at each other before they reluctantly sit down next to each other. Neither of them spoke as they are face to face with two opponents. They brought out their own robots that appear to be much more tougher than the others. Hiro turns to the person as said person looks over their robot as it gently skims over the smooth metal.*
Hiro: So...you're new here?
*The person doesn't respond, but it nods slightly as it places the bot down. Hiro then places Megabot down beside the Eve robot as the lady begins to set the stage.*
Hime Na: Four bots enter, only two can escape...fight!
*Immediately the other two charge their robots as Mega bot launches forward while the Eve robot flies up, dodging the attack. The robot pinned Megabot down while the other goes after Eve. Megabot separates to pull out its circuits but the robot simply threw it away. Megabot barely stays within the circle as it lands and stands up. Eve is facing a similar problem, as it is pulled to a magnetic armor the bot wore; Eve barely escapes as it slams its head to the enemy bot. Then by complete and miraculous accident, Megabot is launched to Eve's bot as it knocks it down and leaves a rather large dent, leaving the magnetism useless. Hiro and the person look at each and realize how they can beat them and win the prize.*
Hiro: Thinking what I'm thinking?
*The person nods their head excitedly as they both charged their robots at the damaged enemy bot. Eve zings forwards as it spins its head in a tizzy, once it falls down Megabot jumps up and knocks out it heads. The person controlling the magnetic bot throws their controller in frustration as the other gets tense over the fight. The large bot jumps up ad tried to pin down Eve but Mega bot stops the enemy bot and restrain its limbs, leaving Eve to strike the robot repeatedly until it was nothing more than scrap metal. The pieces of metal rain down on the two victorious bots as they returned to their cute mode when they ended their fight with a bow.*
Hime Na: And the winner of the duo dual...Hiro and Nekodomo!
*There was a mixture of cheering and disgruntled disappointment. The person went over to collect the money and the prize money, and just as the person is heading over to give the jar to Hiro... Sirens went off in the distance.*
Spector #2: Crap! The cops are here!
*The first spector grabbed a bottle of a beer and smashed it to the ground and yelled.*
Spector #1: SCATTER!
*Everyone else begin to run in different directions, desperate to avoid the cops. Hiro went to run towards a shortcut he knows when he sees the person stand still like a deer in headlights. They were still carrying the money in their arms as their knees shook in terror. Out of his better judgement he went back and grabbed their hand and they bolted out of there before an officer can spot them. Hiro drags the person far away from the police cars as the person could only stare at the young teen in what appears to be an awe. They were approaching a safe distance when the person tripped on a piece of loose concrete and fall in their face. Hiro picks them up and they continue to run, leaving behind a broken cat mask. Once they are in a safe place away from the cops Hiro turns his attention to the person.*
Hiro: *wheeze* That...*Wheeze* was close...*Wheeze*...this really must be your first bot fight huh? Do I have to admit you are really...
*But Hiro's voice trails off as he finally gets a good look at the person beside him. They were a she. She was his age with large beautiful purple eyes and short blue hair that fluffed with elegance. And just her face is described as innocent and very cute. Cora finally gets a good look at the person named Hiro. He was her age with large almond brown eyes, messy black hair and a tooth gap, and Cora couldn't help but think that he was very cute too. The two teens stare at each other as they felt something sparkle in their eyes..*
Cora:...H-hi...
Hiro: He-hey...
*Cora blushes as she stares off the street over the silent space between them. Hiro then clears his throat as he regains his state of mind.*
Hiro: A-as I was saying...You're a really good bot-fighter...
Cora: Thank you...
* They both stand up as they feel their hearts pounding heavily on inside them.*
Hiro: So...Nekodomo is probably an alias right...
Cora: Yeah... but if you want to know... My name is Cora Mizichio.
Hiro: Cora...W-well my name is Hiro. Hiro Hamada that is.
*Hiro straightens his voice to be deeper to flirt with the cute girl, which causes Cora to giggle at his flirtation. Then Cora reaches out her hand to shake his.*
Cora: Thank you for being my partner in the bot fight...and for saving back there.
Hiro: No-no problem actually...
*Cora then looks at the prize money she stuffed in her bag.*
Cora: Oh right! So Hiro...do you want to split up the prize money?
*She begins to pull out the money but in the distance he sees a very familiar Moped. Oh crap, Tadashi is coming!*
Hiro: Uh actually you keep it! I' guess...hopefully see you later?
*Cora's face became a deep red shade over his generosity. She expected that he would want half of the prize money, but this...this is the sweetest thing he has ever done for her, and they had only met.*
Cora: Thank you...I gotta right now...but again I'll see ya later...Hopefully at the music store?
Hiro: That sounds great! See-see ya!
*Cora runs off with the money, but not before she unthinkably kisses Hiro on the cheek. Hiro blinks in shock as he watches the girl run off into the darkness...*
Tadashi: Hiro what are you doing here? Do you have any idea what time it is?!
*Hiro doesn't respond, as his face becomes a derpy lovesick boy.*
Tadashi: Hiro? Hiro whats wrong?
Hiro: Hmmm...Oh..nothing Dashi...
*Tadashi watches with concerned eyes as Hiro gets on the moped and puts on his helmet. They both ride off to the Cafe as Tadashi wonders what the heck happened at that bot fight?!*
*Cora climbed up the window as she quietly strips her ninja clothes and into her sleeping gown as she quietly puts the money into her father's savings. She blushes over the memory of the boy who gave her the prize money when he could have easily demanded it all. She sighs dreamily as she heads upstairs to finally sleep.*
Cora: Good night everyone...goodnight Hiro...wherever you are...
*Since then Cora and Hiro met up in the following four months after. They would meet at night where they not only bot fight the other fighters, but chatted in private over their interests and hobbies. Both are surprisingly similar and yet so different. Hiro talked about his life at the Cafe with his aunt and brother, his interest in robotics, anything that came to mind when usually he wanted nothing to do with conversations. Cora told him that she lived with her father and grandmother alone in a small house nearby his place, her love for marine biology, and how she was home-schooled her whole life. They both instantly connected when they learned that they are both genius prodigies, someone very intelligent like them. Even through their excitement and obvious feelings for each other they never told the other in fear that they would consider it gross or reject them. Young love at its finest.*
Kaguya: Cora, you seem to be in a very good mood for a while now.
*Cora looks up as she sees that she had not taken a bite out of her porridge.*
Kaguya: Not that its a bad thing, its like you have a new burst of energy that radiates inside your heart.
Cora: Well...thank you Grandmama.
* Kaguya did indeed see a change in Cora. Her shy demeanor slowly faded away as she became more confident over her voice, she began to sing more than usual as she slightly dances with the broom while doing chores, and she has her energy in self-defense lessons with he father.*
*Across the kitchen she hears her father talking on the phone, he was talking a manager of a job that her Dad applied for. His voice turns from soft and low to excitement and booming.*
Mizuchi: Are you sure? No I will take it! Thank you very much!
*Mizuchi hangs the phone as he lets out a joyful booming laugh.*
Mizuchi: Mother-in-law! My little Cora!
*Mizuchi runs to the kitchen where he picks up the two ladies and spins around happily.*
Cora: Did you get the job Papa?
Mizuchi: Yes!
Cora: I'm so happy for you!
*Cora hugs her father tightly as the grandmother gently pats his head in approval. He puts them down as he starts preparing for his big job coming soon. As her father prances around happily while the grandmother goes to make herself tea, Cora's heart drops as she realizes what this means...*
Cora: Oh no...what am I gonna tell Hiro?
*She only joined the bot fights so that she can support her father, and now that her father is no longer unemployed she would stop going there. But that also meant she can't see Hiro anymore...*
Cora: I...I should tell him that this will be my last night...
*As of while Hiro was also busy day dreaming over the girl he had gotten close to, playing with the yolk as leans his head to his hand.*
Tadashi: Earth to Hiro where are you?
*Hiro snaps out of his thoughts as he stops playing with his food. The funny side up egg glared at Hiro for destroying their friend's face.*
Tadashi: I don't know whats gotten into you bro. Are you alright?
Hiro: *Clears throat* I'm fine Tadashi, there's nothing to worry about.
*Hiro finishes his breakfast as he puts away the dirty dish. While Tadashi's eyebrows furrowed Cass leans over and bumps his shoulder with her elbow.*
Cass: I don't know about you...but I think he's got it!
Tadashi: It? What 'it?'
Cass: Don't you see Tadashi? I think Hiro might be in love!
*Tadashi's eyes widened as he takes in the information his aunt told him as she hums merrily to continue working.*
Tadashi: Hiro's in love?...With who?
*Tadashi begins to think over Hiro's behavior since that night he found his brother in a daze, and the following weeks Hiro is much more helpful around the house and Cafe, and in fact been looking up information about the ocean with the focus of killer whales. He decided that when Hiro goes out to another bot fight he will finally meet the young person he has been seeing for the past four months.*
Tadashi: Alright Hiro, lets see who your little friend is.
*Later on Tadashi waited for Hiro to sneak out of the house to follow him in the cover of night, determined to find who is this mysterious person that stole Hiro's heart.*
*Cora and Hiro are at the bot fight as a tag team where they are currently facing off a representative of Yama, a notorious Yakuza leader in San Fransokyo. They were head to head as both Cora's bot Evie and Megabot held hands as they spin fast enough to chop off the head off the bot. However the crowd didn't exactly cheer so loudly this time...The man playing against Hiro and a disguised Cora had made a bet using Yama's personal cash he made from his illegal businesses... and he just lost it to the two teens. Hiro happily accepts the money and stuffs it to his pocket.*
Hiro: Thank you very much, now lets see... who else want some?
* But then he notices Cora walking away after the bot fight, and she appeared downtrodden. Hiro stuffs the money in his pockets as he runs to catch up with Cora, all the while the loser was giving the stink eye to the two teens, and his buddies are standing behind him dangerously.*
Hiro: Hey Cora! You're a..heading out early? What did you're Dad figure out or?
*Cora sighs as she removes the mask and looks at the boy.*
Cora: Hiro...You do know that I come to bot fights to help Dad out with money issues right?
Hiro: Yeah...?
Cora: Well Dad finally found a job...and since he's not so stressed out and our money problems settled out... I can't go to the bot fights anymore...
Hiro: W-what?
*Hiro, though being a genius prodigy, is still 13 years old. His thoughts were running through his head as he felt his heart begin to tremble. Cora felt her eyes grow warm as she looks at her feet.*
Hiro: Does this mean...I won't see you?
*Cora continues to stare at her feet as she does her best to hold back her tears. But before either can respond, they hear footsteps behind them, stopping as their shadows loomed over them.*
Dead Meat: Well lookie here...seems these little kids are having a little trouble...
*Hiro recognizes them as the people who lost the money that belonged to Yama, and they most likely want it back. He then turned his head to Cora who looks at the grown men with wary eyes.*
Dead Meat: Either way...I want that money back.
* The men grab Hiro and pin him to the wall where they begin to punch the boy. Cora rushes to the them and begins to pull off the men.*
Cora: Leave him alone!
Goon #1: Don't get involved girly.
*The man throws Cora to the ground where she injured her leg. She looks up to see the men now kicking Hiro where he fell to the ground and curled up in a ball trying to shield himself. Cora's eyes changed from fear to pure fury. She looks at the men with a low and dangerous voice.*
Cora: I said...Leave. Him. Alone.
*Tadashi finally manages to arrive at the location where the bot fight is taking place, as he stills to a halt he hears distant screaming coming from his right. Hir throat tightened as he fears the worst. He speeds up towards an alley, immediately getting off and ready to use his karate skills to protect Hiro...What he saw was the opposite of what he expected. In front of him is a young 13 year old girl with blue hair punching the men in the face and delivers a kick to their groins. He then spots Hiro on the ground where he rushes to his brother's aid.*
Tadashi: Hiro are you alright?!
Hiro: *groggily* I'm f-fine... just check on...C-cora...
* Tadashi raises an eyebrow before he realizes what is going on and ultimately, the identity of the person Hiro was gushing over.*
Tadashi: So..that's Cora...
* Cora finally flips them over as she breathes heavily over the bruised men.*
Cora: Go Away!
*The men stand up and run with their tails behind their backs. Cora takes a few breathes before she turns around and sees a young man holding Hiro. She straightens her clothes as she recalls the stories Hiro told her about his family.*
Cora: Oh! Um...My name is Cora Mizchio! I'm Hiro's Gir- uh...his friend!
*She gives a sheepish smile as Tadashi looks over the girl and his brother, deciding that they all need to figure out what the hell is going on.*
Tadashi: Do...do you mind if we all head to the cafe?
Cora: Sure?
Tadashi: Also...we may need to call your parents...
Cora:...Oh...
* The ringtone playing Sebonzakura loudly got Kaguya's attention as she answers.*
Kaguya: Moshi moshi...Who are you...Wait...What?! Alright. We'll be right over.
*Kaguya hangs up her phone as she heads to her Son-in-laws room and pulls off the covers.*
Kaguya: Get up stupid son in law! Cora is out there in the middle of the night!
*Mizuchi barely heard anything as his senses were not fully activated. He was ready to doze off when Kaguya then told him what he feared and would most likely listen to.*
Kaguya: Cora is at a Boy's house in the middle of the night!
*That shot Mizuchi awake as he immediately runs out and gets dressed, yelling loudly on how and why is his innocent daughter doing at a boy's house in the middle of the night. Kaguya shakes her head as she mumbles to herself.*
Kaguya: That girl better explain herself...
* As of while Hiro, Tadashi, and Cora got inside the house where Tadashi takes them upstairs.*
Tadashi: Alright, I'm going to get some bandages for you guys, also Cora, you're grandmother and father is coming... Man what a night...
*Tadashi goes of to the bathroom to get the medical supplies, leaving Hiro and Cora alone...*
Cora: So... this is where you live...its cool...and the Cafe looks pretty..
Hiro: Thanks... I'll tell Aunt Cass what you said...
*They both stare at the floor before Cora finally breaks the ice as she begins to laugh.*
Cora: Oh my god...I just realized this...
Hiro: What?
Cora: Hiro, just because I can't go to bot fights anymore doesn't mean I get to see you again...
Hiro: Oh! Oh...
*The two teens begin to laugh, while unbeknownst to them Tadashi is listening to the conversation, along with Cass who woke up from the commotion, and Cora's father and Grandmother. They all look at the two teens with still breaths.*
Hiro: Yeah...so much for us being teen geniuses am I right!
Cora: Yeah, after all we can see each other at other places like the movies.
Hiro: Yeah! There's also the arcade and maybe the aquarium you like so much!
Cora: Uh huh! After all it would make some awesome dates-
*Cora stops talking as soon as she realizes what she said. Hiro looks at Cora with also wide eyes as he too blushes over Cora's words. The two remain silent for a while as the adults ponder whats going to happen next. Finally Cora speaks up.*
Cora: Hiro...I know this is really crazy for you to hear...but when I'm with you I feel like I can do anything, like I'm not afraid of whats outside anymore... you helped me when I was scared or confused over the slightest things...What I mean to say..is...
*Cora clenches her eyes as she finally spits out her feeling.*
Cora: I really like you Hiro! As in Like you-like you...Screw it! I love you Hiro!
* The adults held in their gasps as they watched the young girl who have been so quiet and demure confess her love to the boy with such a loud and unwavering voice. Silence rang for a few moments as Cora mentally prepares herself for rejection. She opens her eyes as she sees Hiro holding her hand in his, Cora blushes intensely as Hiro gathers his courage and rushes out his words.*
Hiro: I really like you too, I don't think you should really like me cause I'm a huge freaking nerd and I'm awkward and I don't even know if I'm holding hands right! Also you're very pretty.
*Cora's face blossoms to a loving smile as she tightens her hand on Hiro's.*
Cora: But you being a nerd and awkward are the reason why I like you, and to be honest I thought you wouldn't like me because compared to girls I'm not...developed lets say that...
Hiro: I... I actually don't mind that you're n-not developed. I-I mean you're still really pretty...and I don't really like girls who put way too much effort being attractive.. I mean it kind of makes them look fake you know...?
Cora: Yeah...
*As they spoke they begin to lean closer, their hearts pounding as their eyes slowly close...*
Cass: Wooh! Go Hiro!
*The teens snap out of it as they realized they were watched by their family.*
Hiro: What the heck guys! W-What happened to privacy?!
*Cass simply hugs the two together which in turn they let out soft ows. She lets go as she realizes that they have yet to be treated for their wounds.*
Cass: OK! I'm...I'm getting some tea! Does Anyone else want tea? I'll make that tea!
*Cass leaves the room with an excited squeal while Tadashi heads over to Hiro and Cora with the bandages.*
Tadashi: Nice job Hiro.
Hiro: Hehe...thanks...
Tadashi: Even if you did one up me by getting a girlfriend first.
*Tadashi jokingly said this as he ruffles Hiro's messy hair.*
Hiro: Dashi...
*Tadashi looks at Cora who looks up as she swings her legs back and forth. He leans to Cora's ear as he whispers.*
Tadashi: *whispers* Cora, whatever you did, thanks. I've never seen Hiro this happy.
Cora: *whispers* Its ok, I'm glad he has an older brother like you to watch over him.
*Both smiled at each other as Cora and Tadashi shook hands. Finally Cora acknowledged her family.*
Cora: Papa! Grandmama! You two can come out now!
*The sight of Mizuchi's Goliath like stature kind of made Hiro lean towards Tadashi as the older brother keeps his cool over the massive man who is looking at Hiro with an intense stare...*
*WHACK!*
*Both boys are caught off guard as the small elder woman whacked the taller man with her cane.*
Kaguya: Cora and that boy Hiro are dating now! Don't break him!
Mizuchi: But Mother-in-law! We don't know anything about hi-
*WHACK!*
Kaguya: Then take the time to know him better!
*Aunt Cass returns to the living room with the tea cups as she finally sees Cora's family.*
Cass: Oh you two must be Cora's Father and Granmother! Hi I'm Cass, I'm Hiro and Tadashi's aunt.
*Cora yawns loudly as she felt the sleepiness run to her head.*
Kaguya: I'm sorry Miss Cass but its pretty late now..
*Cora then speaks up.*
Cora: However that doesn't mean we can't meet up again.
*She turns to Hiro as she smiles*
Cora: Would you and your family like to come over our house and stay over for dinner?
Kaguya: Would you like to stay forever?
*Hiro covers his mouth to suppress his giggles before he clears his throat and faces Cora.*
Hiro: Dinner would be great.
* With that the families parted their separate ways, Cora giving a kiss on the cheek for Hiro as she gives him her phone number. As she flops to her bed she felt like she could float on a sunbeam. She is officially in a romantic relationship with an amazing boy, someone she can relate to and talk to, someone who made her feel special. Hiro also flopped to his bed, exhausted, but happier than he had ever been in years. He scored a girl's number and had a girlfriend, although Tadashi wouldn't stop giving him crap about this. Like when are they gonna kiss? When are they gonna get married? He knew it made Hiro freak out , which is why he did it. Hiro couldn't wait to show Cora the inventions Tadashi and he invented over the years! Maybe he'd even share his secret stash of gummy bear with her.*
Tadashi: Hiro, get into your pj's, you can't be comfortable sleeping in your normal clothes.
*Tadashi is in his bed and ready to pass out. Hiro just groaned in response, his eyes already closed as he drifted off to sleep with the thought of Cora on his mind.*
A.N: Whew! What a day! Here its is! the one shot on how Hiro and Cora met and fall in love! You may ask why there's some cuss words and some rather mature topics here. Well, with Cora being offered to date older men for money is a reality in Japan called Enjo Kosai: Compensated dating. Its actually estimated that 13% of high school girls and even junior high girls are involved in Enjo Kosai. Second of all, the age of Consent in Japan is 13, as their maturity is greater there. Also because its a prequel and they are teens they are bound to know and are exposed to swear words, why the big hero 7 fanfic doens't contain swear words? Its Disney, but if you want to throw in some cuss words or maybe some hidden innuendos just leave a comment below! Thank you for reading! Love you!
