Hello readers this is going to be my very first story that I am writing and releasing. This is a story I have been wanting to release for quite some time now. But because of everything going on right now and in my personal life it took me a while. Having said that I am proud of the work I've done. I have enjoyed writing and reading this story as I hope you do as well. Also if you would like to leave me some constructive criticism to make the story better feel free to do so. one last thing everybody in this story is off age(ex. Izuku is 18 years old) just to not make it weird. Thank you for your time and again enjoy.

"Maybe I shouldn't have gone alone without somebody else." Said the white and red-haired girl making her way through the dark alleyways. It was dark, and cold out tonight but the forecast said nothing about rain.

 "Damn it Fuyumi, why didn't you take Shoto's advice and just go out tomorrow to get what you needed." She hissed looking around to see if there were any places open for her to stay dry. In hopes of calling Shoto or her father. On second thought that probably wasn't such a good idea considering she shouldn't even be where she is right now. 

Her father the #1 hero Endeavor was very clear about not going out unless it was absolutely necessary. As she was recalling what her father said that day Fuyumi noticed two figures were looking at her. She paid them no mind and continued walking to find a place to stay for a while. That's when a thought crossed her mind, more like a person. Izuku Midoriya was a name she wouldn't forget and for good reason too. He was one of the few people Shoto opened up to and called a friend. She could never forget the night they met for the last time.

Fuyumi was in the kitchen making food to the request of her father. "Fuyumi, we are having guests over for dinner tonight. Please cook us up something nice for me and Shoto's 'friends'."(Is what he called them still unsure.)

Fuyumi nodded saying "Yes father I'll do my best." Endeavor nodded back and left assumingly to talk to Shoto about some important hero matters. Without a second to spare Fuyumi started the donating task of preparing the feast for tonight. She was thinking about doing traditional Japanese cuisine but threw the idea out. "They probably eat that all the time. I need to make a good first impression for Shoto's friends." 

More to the point, show Midoriya her appreciation for helping Shoto. She thought about it for a long while, then the idea popped into her mind. "I know we have a couple of steaks from the US." Fuyumi said, "I can ask dad or Shoto to cook them as the rest of the guests are still arriving." She said out loud, proud of her idea. With no time to waste, she asked Shoto who was reluctant at first to help but finally gave in only on the condition that he got the biggest of the stakes first. Fuyumi was hesitant at first because she wanted Midoriya to get it but with time running out so she agreed to it, sighing loudly in the process. 

Shoto having the biggest shit-eating grin on his face was happy as can be. After a couple of exchanges on how to cook the stakes, they settled on having Shoto use his left side arm to balance the pan, while he applied heat to it at the same time. Fuyumi was quickly cutting up vegetables and tossing them into another pan. Shoto, getting impatient, was asking her sister if they were ready to be tossed in. She simply responded with "Wait child it's almost done just need to add a few spices into the mix."

 As she was doing this their father came into the kitchen asking about his fancy suit jacket and where they last saw it. "Kids, have you seen my jacket- what the fuck?" As on cue Shoto and Fuyumi, both turn around looking at their father. "Sup old man." Said shoto while being shirtless. Endeavor trying not to sound concerned asks if they have seen his suit. Fuyumi told her father that it was hanging by his bed stand. Endeavor thanked Fuyumi and left without saying another word. "What the hell was his problem?" Shoto asked as he looked at the clock hanging in the kitchen. "Oh shit it's almost time and I am not even ready yet. Here take this am going to get changed." Said Shoto leaving the room quickly. Fuyumi was left standing alone in the kitchen.

 Truth be told she wasn't making this extra special dinner for her family alone. No, there was a reason and that one reason would be Izuku Midoriya. For you see he alone was able to make this dinner a reality for her. Sure it's not something as grand as saving the town or lodes of people. But, this little dinner party meant so much more to her than anything in the world. So naturally, she was also thinking about the best way to say thank you to him. Moreover, she wanted to recite to him her feelings for the young hero.

 "Izuku." she says softly "Firstly I want to thank you for everything you have done for my family, and not just helping Shoto get through his feelings about my father but also indirectly helping my mom and dad start talking again, apologizing about the past." Fuyumi breathes deeply, continuing her little speech. "Also helping my other brother Natsuo with his feelings and start to make things right to become a family again." Fuyumi begins to go on a whole tangent of other things he's done for her and her family but quickly gets back to the topic at hand. "Anyway what I wanted to say is thank you Izuku Midoriya and I love-." Just then thunder could be heard bringing her back to the present.

 Fuyumi, realizing that she has been standing long enough, decides to move along. Just as she's about to move she notices the two figures from before causing her to worry a bit "Wait are there 4 more of them!?" Fuyumi says trying to keep calm so her pursuers don't notice she's panicking. She picks up the pace going through alleyways, looking around for any doors into any apartments to hide in. That's when she went into an alley that had a door with a light post beaming down. "A safe point thank god." Says the white-red hair girl in an attempt to make a laugh at the dire situation she's in. As Fuyumi gets closer she looks inside to see if it's safe. To her surprise, it looked empty, and as luck would have there was an old phone box. With a deep calm and grateful expression, she tries opening the door. That's when she notices... the door is locked.

 Fuyumi's heart sinks to her stomach, in full panic mode now starts to tug at the door. Hoping someone on the other side lets her in. When that doesn't work, she looks around for something strong enough to break the glass and let herself in a desperate attempt. With nothing around to use she determinants that going forward is the best shot she had. Only for then to realize she was at a dead end. "Oh fuck." She cusses out loud. Her head was spinning trying to come up with salutations to her problem when she heard a voice. "Hey lady, you need some help?" Said the voice with concern "You know it's dangerous out at night lots of crazy people out for blood, come and stay at our place it's not that far what do you say?"

 Fuyumi was thinking about it for a while. He sounded friendly and she didn't have a lot of options left. "Ok, I'll come with you and thank-" Just as Fuyumi turned to thank her good samaritan all the blood in her knees left. She was now looking at six crazy-looking men right in front of her. "NO, IT'S ONLY THE RIGHT THING TO DO." Says one of the men with a crazy smile on his face. He put his hand on her shoulder and she smelled it on him, all of them. They all smelled of fresh blood. Fuyumi steps back, closing her eyes as tears begin to fall out like the rain she was in yelling out "SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!"
