I had to publish this story, even though I'm suppose to be taking a break. A college friend of mine suggested I do a story like this, so here it is! Hope you like! Fem IzukuxShoto.


July, 15.

A day that everyone within Japan, no—the world will remember because of what happened on that very day.

Inside a room within Musutafu Hospital was a woman with green hair that was in the middle of giving birth. As she gave one last push...something happened.

Or...everything.

Once the chid was out, the lights in the very room and all within the hospital blew out at the same time, scaring all those inside. Elsewhere, somewhere still within Japan an earthquake had been mysteriously stopped, much to the astonishment of those who had been tracking it. In another area across the world, a tsunami was quelled, prompting questions as to what caused it. Another strange phenomena that happened were the actions of the various animals. Wild and domestic suddenly stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky before making noise all at once, as though they were celebrating something that humans couldn't begin to understand.

The emergency lights in the hospital came on, revealing the worried faces of the doctors, nurses, and the woman who had just given birth to her child. She cradled the small baby in her arms and noticed something.

"Um, doctor...shouldn't my baby be crying?" The green haired woman asked out of concern for her child. She read up on many baby books that sometimes the child will either come out crying or the doctor will smack their bottom in order to get them to cry so the baby can get some air in their little lungs.

The doctor immediately went into to action and checked on the baby and was surprised to see the little baby's eyes were wide open, staring at everyone until big green eyes looked up at the mother.

"It...would appear the baby is doing just fine." he proceeded to take the baby from the woman, getting a cry out of the little infant at being separated from the mother. The doctor decided to do a quick, yet thorough check up and determined the baby was a girl, and she was very healthy. Without further a do he gave the now squirmy baby girl back over to her mother where she finally settled down once back in the arms of her mother.

"Well, Midoriya-san I'm happy to report that you have a healthy baby girl. Have you thought of a name?" He asked.

Midoriya-san smiled down at her child, the little baby girl still looking into the eyes of her mother with the most curious expression a newborn could muster, "Inori...Midoriya Inori."

The doctor and nurse looked to each other before turning their attention back to her, "If I may ask, why that name in particular?"

She gave him a smile, even though she was still very much tired from the birthing, "Its suits her."

And that was it.

Later

After spending lots of time in the hospital to recover, both mother and daughter were cleared to go home. Inko smiled as she walked in the apartment door with Inori, cooing at the little baby girl when she started gurgling, trying to talk. That adorable green tuff of hair, and pretty emerald eyes matched her's perfectly. Her baby girl took after her so much. She turned on the television and saw that the news was on.

"Strange occurrences have been happening in not only Japan, but also around the world. Around 2:30 PM on July 15, an earthquake that was currently occurring within Japan suddenly stopped. That's not all, but what appeared to be an upcoming tsunami was also stopped in its tracks in Los Angeles city in Southern California. Another strange phenomena started effecting the animals as it was reported by those at various zoo's around the world, and some pet owners who reported their pet's strange behaviors on various social media sites that all of a sudden they stopped doing what they were doing and began to look up at the sky. Then proceeded to start making noise in what appears to be simultaneously. Many are baffled by this, and some scientists have some theories about that may have happened, but nothing concrete. Stay tuned at 0:00 for more information, please stay tuned for the weather."

Inko didn't think much about it at the time, but perhaps she should have.


"Mama!"

Inko was trying hard not to cry as her precious baby girl had started talking! Inori was 6 months old now, and Inko believes that's the right time for a baby to start talking, right? Oh, who cares her baby girl was talking! She watched as her beloved child began to start crawling over towards her as she smiled at her.

"Mama!"

Inko scooped her daughter up in her arms before she started peppering her wit kisses all over her face, eliciting a squeal of laughter from the baby, "That's right, I'm mama! I'm so proud of you, Inori-chan!" She couldn't wait to tell Mitsuki that her baby girl started talking now, not even little Katsuki had started talking yet, but the boy was a fast crawler. She felt so bad for Mitsuki.

Inko looked at the time and noticed it was almost time for lunch, "Almost time to eat, why don't we get your bottle ready." While still holding her baby in her arms she made the bottle. She's become an expert at that because her little sunshine refuses to be put down, once in the arms of her mother. Having made her daughter's bottle she was about to check the temperature when it fell out Inko's hand. Just as it was about to hit the ground, it stopped, floating before being levitated in the air, inches from Inko's face. Now normally that wouldn't seem so strange since Inko moves objects all the time with her Quirk...only this time it wasn't her.

"I couldn't be..." she turned her attention to her daughter, who was holding her hand out towards the bottle all the while making baby noises. Amazingly, the bottle went towards her as the small baby held it with both hands and started to suckle on it, her gaze on her mother as she did so.

Inko's eyes widened, could it be possible that her daughter had gotten her Quirk early on? That shouldn't be possible, but then how would one explain what her daughter just did. The woman's eyes lit up as she held her daughter, "Oh, Inori-chan, mommy is so proud of you!"

Inori simply suckled on her bottle, still holding that curious expression on her face.

Inko probably should have been more worried, but she wasn't. Her baby had gotten her Quirk way earlier than others, and she was so proud of her!

Little did she know that this was a sign...a sign that would soon become a beacon.


Inori was 2 years old now, her green hair now in two adorable pigtails as she rolled the ball around with Katsuki, Mitsuki's boy. Inko smiled as she watched her baby girl play with Mitsuki's son. Katsuki was the same age as her daughter, but unlike Inori, who was quite calm and well behaved for a 2 year old, Katsuki was a wild firecracker that couldn't be contained. Evident when he would crawl or walk around both his mother and father and start yelling his little head off, despite being so small. Her daughter and their son were so different.

"She's gotten so big since the last time I saw her." Mitsuki comments to Inko as she too was watching the children play.

Inko giggled, "So has Katsuki. I remember he was such a loud crier."

"Hmph, what do you mean was? He still is! Little shit does it on purpose I tell you!" Mitsuki grumbled, getting laughter out of Inko for her friend's childish behavior.

"Now, now, don't say that. Your son is just...spirited."

"Too damn spirited if you ask me!"

Inko gives Mitsuki a look, 'I'm sorry to say Mitsu-chan, but he gets that from you.' Kastuki didn't get a thing from his father, Mitsuki's genes were stronger than his.

Sooner or later the boy will start swearing soon, too.

"Ha!"

Both women turned just in time to see Katsuki throw the ball at Inori, aiming for her head. Just as Mitsuki was about to yell at the boy, the ball stopped, just inches from hitting the girl in the face before it shot towards Katsuki, nailing him right in the nose. Instead of of crying the little snot tried to attack her, but Mitsuki scooped him up just in time, holding the little squirming boy in her grasp, so he wouldn't try to attack her again.

"That's enough, Katsuki! You're the one that started it!" Mitsuki chided.

"No!"

Mitsuki sputtered, "No—?! Don't you say "no" to me you little shit!"

"No!"

"Why you little—!"

Inko ignored the two arguing in background in favor of picking up her daughter and looking her over, "You okay, sweetie?"

Inori just smiled, wrapping her little arms around Inko, "Mama, wuv you!"

With a loving sigh, she held the girl close to her, "Mm, love you, too."

After a few more yells and curses (seriously, Mitsuki he's a two years old, and very impressionable), both children were fast asleep on two large pillows, while Inko and Mitsuki were having their own conversation.

"That little jerk, where does he get that attitude from?" Mitsuki wondered with a frown.

'Again, that would be you.' Inko thought.

"Inko, just now when that ball hit Katsuki in the nose...that wasn't you, was it?" Mitsuki knew Inko would never throw a ball at her son, so the only logical choice was Inori.

But that makes no sense, children usually don't get their Quirks till their 4 years of age...so how?

Inko didn't even try to deny it, if any she seemed resigned, "Yes...when she was about 6 months old she began levitating objects around the house. I was really proud at the time, but now...I'm a little worried that her Quirk might hurt her."

Mitsuki grabbed her friend's hand, giving it a comforting squeeze, "Trust me when I tell you that if your daughter can smack Katsuki with a ball with no problems, then she'll be just fine."

"You really think so?" Inko was hoping that her friend's words rang true.

Mitsuki let out a huff, "Hell ya I'm sure! Now in my case, I'm more worried about that damn brat when he gets his Quirk. I actually hope little Inori can knock some sense into him when he goes too damn far."

"Let's both hope little Katsuki doesn't think about doing something like that."


The wind was quiet today.

Inori inhales a deep breath as the wind blows her short hair gently. Her perch up in a tree as she sits on a tree branch, looking at the many houses she was able to see. She was 5 years old now, and quite intelligent for someone her age. Then again, she had always been this way as she has now come to realize. As intelligent as she was, it sometimes puts people off with how perceptive she is, but her mother assures her that she's fine just the way she is, and that she didn't have to change for anyone. Bless her mother's kindness and overwhelming love for her, as she treasures it dearly. Her white dress flows in the wind as another breeze brushes against her, her white matching shoes on her feet move back and forth as she swings her legs.

Such a nice day to come to the park and simply enjoy the wind or the sounds of nature. But with the many voices she's been hearing, the chances of the calm remaining what it is now is very unlikely.

Case in point.

"HA, take that!"

Sighing she looked down and saw Bakugo down there with his crew once again, trying to bully the other children by using his Quirk on them. While the two of them may be considered 'childhood friends' they were anything but. The relationship between the two of them has soured ever since that day when Bakugo fell into the lake and she reached her hand out to him. He slapped it away and accused her of looking down on him when she was doing anything but. All she was trying to do was help him up and worry about his well being, but it seems Bakugo had taken great offense to that. So from that day on, she didn't no longer called him 'Kacchan,' but instead referred to him by his given last name.

Since then, he's been trying to assert his dominance by hurting the other children by using his Quirk on them. Trying to establish himself as an Alpha male of a pack, how primitive, yet somehow appropriate. With a wave of her hand, she moved the kid that Bakugo was harassing out of the way as he tried to punch him in the face. Bakugo fell forward, but managed to get his footing back on track.

"Don't get in my way, Deku!" Bakugo yelled.

Such a crude nickname to call her.

The kid that she saved bowed his head towards her before running off, possibly to find his mother. Inori was worried for Bakugo for the simple reason that if he kept acting like this then people will start to see him as a villain.

"Get down here, you coward!" Bakugo yelled at her again.

Inori didn't fear Bakugo, even though he was trying to instill fear in others to make them bend to his will, she will not bow down to anyone. She bows down to no man.

As she looked down at Bakugo from her perch on the tree branch from above, unknown to her as her green eyes began to glow, "I...will not submit to you." She eyed the two boys with Bakugo as they backed away slowly, while Bakugo's good firm, yet she could feel slight fear within him. Closing her eyes, she levitated off the tree branch before going home to spend the rest of her time with her mother.

Connecting with other children her age wasn't easy as they all felt weary around her, deeming her as someone that should be cautious around. She didn't mind this though as she felt loved by those who know the real her. Like her mother, Aunt Mitsuki, and Uncle Masaru.

"I'm home." She announced.

"Ah, welcome home! I thought you'd be out a little longer, did something happen?" Inko walked over by her daughter with a concerned expression.

Inori got straight to the point, "I left because Bakugo was being mean to others again."

Inko frowned, "He shouldn't be mean to other children, did he hurt you?"

Inori smiled, grabbing both her mother's hands, "I'm okay, mama."

She could see that, but that still didn't stop the single mother from worrying about her precious child. Hisashi had been overseas for quite sometime that Inko may as well be a single parent taking care of her child. The thought of divorce came into her mind multiple times, the reason she thought of this was because her daughter had never once asked about her father, and when Inko asked if she missed her father...the answer was not what she expected.

"I don't like him."

To hear that from a five year old in a such a cold tone of voice was one that chilled her to the bone because she wasn't expecting it. She had always known her daughter was very intelligent, but to say that and sound so grown up about it was chilling...very chilling. It was ultimately that decision that lead her to think about divorcing the man who hasn't even tried to come and see his daughter even once.

Shaking her head she smiles at her precious child, "I have some news for you, we got some new neighbors that just moved in from next door. They have a boy about your age, I think."

The thought of meeting another child his age brought a smile to her face as she was very eager to meet them. Without further a do they went next door to introduce themselves. Inko knocked on the door politely and waited for someone to answer, eventually someone did answer. There at the door was a woman with straight shoulder-length white hair with rather long bangs over her face, and tired-looking brown-gray eyes with reasonably long eyelashes.

The first thing that came to Inori's mind was that this woman was very pretty.

"Hello, my name is Midoriya Inko, I'm your neighbor from next door." Inko greets her before handing her some cookies she made.

In return for her mother's kindness the white haired woman takes the cookies with a smile, "Thank you so much, my name is...Todoroki Rei." She then spots Inori finally, who gives the woman a smile.

"Oh, this is my daugher, Inori." Inko put her hand on the back of her daughters head.

Inori introduced herself to Rei, "Nice to meet you, my name is Midoriya Inori." she bowed politely.

Rei smiled down at the girl, "Such a kind child you are."

"That she is," Inko agreed, "I apologize for disturbing you while you're probably busy, but we just wanted to introduce ourselves."

"No, its alright," Rei assures her, "Would the two of you like to come in?"

"Thank you for your humble invitation." Inko bowed.

The two members of the Midoriya family walked inside the apartment building, there Inori saw a girl with the same white hair as her mother, with red streaks, a boy with white spiky hair, a boy with spiky red hair, and finally a boy with both white and red hair on both the right and left side respectively, along with different colored eyes, grey and turquoise. What caught Inori's interest with the boy was the large burn scar on the left side of his face, which reaches from his hairline to halfway down his cheek.

"These are my children." Rei introduced them to Inko and Inori.

The girl with white hair and red streaks stood up and introduced herself first, "Um, nice to meet you! My name is Todoroki Fuyumi!" She bowed to Inko.

"Nice to meet you, dear." Inko smiled.

Next was the boy with red spiky hair, "Hello, my names...Todoroki Touya."

"Hello." Inko smiled.

"I'm Todoroki Natsuo!" Natsuo introduced himself next.

"Nice to meet you, Natsuo-kun." Inko smiles at the boy.

Natsuo showed a little smile.

And finally, it was the other boy's turn. Inori's eyes were on him the whole time the other siblings introduced themselves to her and her mother.

"...Nice to meet you, ma'am. I'm...Todoroki Shoto."

So his names Shoto, such a nice name.

"Pleasure to meet you, Shoto-kun. My name is Midoriya Inko, this is my daughter, Midoriya Inori." Inko introduces her daughter.

"Inori? Meaning, "prayer?"

Inko smiled, "The very same. When she was born the name just popped into my head, so I went with it."

"Ah, its the same for me when I named my children." Rei said this with a smile.

"My, great minds think alike." Inko smiled back.

Inori looked in between her mother and Rei with a curious look before smiling, her mother has made another friend.

"Inori-chan, why don't you play with them while we talk, okay?" Inko suggested to her daughter, "If that's okay?"

"Its fine." Rei said, giving her permission.

Inori smiled as he approached the siblings and bowed to them, "Please take good care of me."

Fuyumi smiled, grabbing her hand, "Come this way, Inori-chan. I still have some dolls if you want to play with them."

"Yes, please." Inori said.

The sibling, plus Izuku went into one of the rooms while the two mother's talk out in the kitchen.

"So, Inori-chan, what do you like to do?" Fuyumi asked as they were all gathered in one room.

Inori smiled, "I like listening to the wind."

"Listening to the wind?" Fuyumi tilted her head to the side.

Inori covered her ears with both hands, "I can hear lots of animals and the sound of water, but sometimes I hear lots of people's voices from far away."

"Is that your Quirk?" Touya was the one to ask.

Removing her hands from her ears, she answered, "Mama says so, but I also like humming and the sound of a vio, um...violin!"

"Oh, you like listening to violin music? Me too!" Fuyumi said, excitedly.

"Hey, hey, do you have a favorite sport you like?" Natsuo asked.

Inori looked down in thought, "Um...the arrow sport?" She wasn't sure what it was called, but she thought it looked really cool when they would shoot those arrows, and they would hit their targets.

"Eh, archery? That's not a sport!" Natsuo pouted.

"Yes it is!" Fuyumi said.

"Nuh-uh!"

"Yeah-huh!"

Inori blinks in confusion as the two siblings begin to bicker out of nowhere, but Touya just sighs with a shake of his head and Shoto's eyes were on Inori the whole time.

"Ne...what's your Quirk?" Shoto finally speaks.

That made Natsuo and Fuyumi stop arguing with each other as they both turned to Inori, waiting to see just what kind of Quirk the girl has. She didn't disappoint when her eyes glowed green and everything in the room began to levitate in the air, much to the siblings astonishment.

"Holy—this is so cool!" Natsuo touched the tip of the bed as it floated in the air.

Fuyumi's mouth was a wide open gap as she was in awe at what she was seeing, "Wow..."

Touya blinked a few times, "Okay, I admit...this is like really cool."

Shoto's eyes were wide as everything in the room levitated right before him. Her Quirk was amazing, and really strong, too. As he looked at her glowing green eyes he thought they looked like...what's the name for it...jewels?

Inori let everything in the room down gently as her eyes went back to normal, "How was that?"

"That was awesome!" Natsuo said with a grin.

"Is your Quirk a form of Telekenesis?!" Fuyumi asked as she was filled with excitement.

"Don't wanna make you make you mad when you get older." Touya joked.

"You have a nice Quirk." Shoto complimented.

This was the first time others were sincerely praising her Quirk. Normally, Bakugo gets all the praise because he displays his Quirk all the time. Now though, hearing it from them has made her feel really happy.

"Thank you..." she says sincerely.

Fuyumi melted at the smile, hugging the girl as she squealed at Inori's cuteness, "You're so cute~!"

"Fuyumi...if you hug her that hard she'll suffocate." Touya said nervously as his sister was hugging the girl a little too hard.

"Ease up, sis." Natsuo said.

"Fuyumi-nee..." Shoto wondered if he should help the girl.

Fuyumi blushed as she released Inori, "Ah. I'm sorry, Inori-chan!"

Inori was trying to make the room stop spinning, "Its okay..."

After that they all went to talking about random things, the earlier tension fading away as they got to know each other. Inori noticed that Shoto had loosened up a little the more he talked. She didn't ask what his Quirk was because it seemed personal, so she let it go.

"Inori-chan, its time to go!"

Shoto looked sad as it was time for Inori to go home, but Fuyumi patted his head, "Its okay, she'll come back to visit, right?"

Inori nodded her head eagerly, "I promise!"

Leaving the bedroom, Inori met her mother at the door, "Thank you so much for having us, Rei-san."

"No, it was a pleasure to have you, Inko-san." Rei thanked, "By the way, Shoto you'll be happy to hear that Inori-chan goes to the same preschool you'll be going to."

Shoto looked happy about that.

"Are you excited Shoto-kun will going to your school, Inori-chan?" Inko asked her daughter.

Inori nodded, "I am. See you at school, Shoto."

"Mm." Shoto smiled a little.

With another goodbye, Inko and Inori left to go back to their own apartment, "It looks like you got along really well with them."

Inori wasn't smiling anymore, something that worried Inko, "What's wrong?"

The green haired child stopped walking, her eyes focused on her mother, "Shoto's voice...it sounded sad."

"What do you mean by that, sweetie?" Her daughter often talked about people's 'voices,' but she didn't understand what she meant by that.

"He's hurting...inside."

Ah, so that's what she meant. She leaned down until she was faced to face with Inori, "If you say he's hurting then I believe you. You might even be the only one that can help him. Become his hero."

"Hero..." Inori didn't have much of an opinion about heroes, and didn't really care for them all that much. If Shoto needed a hero...then maybe it was okay for her to become one, if only for Shoto.
