Destiny- MHA Next Generations

Chapter 34

A few weeks passed and Hikori was sitting on his own at the funeral of his great uncle. Everyone were wearing black suits with white ties and black shoes while the females were wearing black dresses and ballet flats/heels. Hikori didn't want to interact. All he wanted to do was process what is happening in his life. All of his dad's friends had turned up to pay their respects so as a result, Adelaide, and Kayla were there. They wandered over.

"Hey, Hikori." Adelaide said sweetly.

"We're sorry about what happened. Really." Kayla added.

"Thanks, girls..." Hikori replied quietly just as an adult voice called him over. "I've got to go... see ya..."

Hikori walked over to where his parents were standing. Not even a few moments later, Adelaide and Kayla wandered over.

"Hikori?" Denki began softly, "I'd like you to meet Conan, Kalum, Jackal, Olive, Shira and Val. Everyone? This is our son; Hikori."

"Hey." Kalum replied, placing a hand on his daughter's shoulder.

"Hey, mate." Jackal said with a nod of his head.

"Hello, kiddo!" Olive beamed, Conan, Shira and Val waving.

Hikori excused himself and wandered off. He rounded the corner of a building and slumped to the ground. Tears pricked his eyes as he pulled his knees close. A figure dropped by his side. Hikori looked through tears to see his Papa next to him, one arm resting on his knee.

"I didn't even know him." Hikori sniffed. "So why am I so upset...?!"

"He's part of the family." Hitoshi sighed. "And like me; you don't like seeing your dad upset as it makes you upset. As you know; your dad has been through a lot. His uncle was the one that looked after him and helped him get through life."

"..."

"It's OK to be upset, Hikori, because it shows that you loved that person. Crying is just a natural response to pain. No matter what type of pain it is."

Hikori moved closer and cuddled into his Papa's shoulder, the man placing an arm around his shoulder.

Hikori was back at UA in no time but he was still in slight pain. All of his friends were happy to see him, as where his teachers. Hikori sat with his head in his arms and on his desk while they the rest of the class were at lunch. Hearing the door open and whispers circle through the room, Hikori looked up to see his friends; Iida, Kirishima and Midoriya-Todoroki.

"You OK man?" MT asked calmly. "We also brought you something to eat in case you were hungry."

"I'm OK..." Hikori said, showing a weak smile. "Thanks for the food."

"Do you want to talk to us?" Iida asked. Always so considerate of other people's feelings.

"... Maybe...?"

"Take your time. There's no rush."

"I went to Australia as my Dad's uncle was sick. We went to his funeral a week ago..."

"We're so sorry to hear that...!" Iida cried, MT placing his hand on the boy's shoulder and Kirishima sending him a look of sympathy.

"Thanks you guys. I really appreciate it."

Hikori sat in the common room with his classmates doing things all around him. He felt like a ghost. A figure sat on the couch next to him. Looking to his left, he saw Yaoyarozu. She had her hair down and was wearing a dark purple dress.

"Hey, Yaoyarozu."

"Hello, Kaminari-kun. Are you OK? you seem a little upset."

"I'm fine... Just trying to process a lot of things at the moment."

"Oh...! OK then. But if you ever need to vent, you know I'll always listen."

"Thanks. You're really kind."

"I guess I get that from my mother. She was always dubbed the mother of their class, so I guess it just comes naturally."

"Maybe. Do your mothers ever talk about their childhoods?"

"Sometimes. It's not something they boast about, though. All they say is that things happened to their class and some of it is best left in the past and not mentioned in the present. Mother gets very... what's the word...?! Never mind. She tends to speak in riddles at times, and it gets really confusing."

"I understand. My Dad didn't speak about his past for almost my whole life. Somethings happened when I was younger and only recently did he start to open up and accept what had happened."

"Sounds like there were things that troubled him."

"More like his whole life troubled him form what I gathered."

"I'll take your word for it."

As Hikori wandered through the common room the next day, he took in the environment. Tori was sitting next to Ojiro desk and the girls were talking and had their hands intertwined with each other's. Togata was watching something on his phone, while Takami was leaning his head against his shoulder and watching with him. Ren, Tokoyami, Yaoyarozu and Yoi were talking to one another. Adrien was playing his switch with Shiro watching over his shoulder, both of them extremely invested in the game they were playing. Hagakure was playing a game of cards with Toga, Zen, Hasuki, Kendo and Harinèzumi.

Hikori smiled as Kirishima, Iida and MT ran up to him, smiles on all of their faces. They started to talk to him all at once and Hikori tried to focus but all he could think about was what amazing classmates and friends he had. All of them had a special place in his heart and he was happy to call them his friends. He had been there for their ups and downs. He had helped give them hope for their futures and that they shouldn't dwell on the past.

Not only that but, Hikori had discovered things about himself, too. He had come to terms with his heritage and his identity. UA was full of challenges, sure, but it was also filled with hope. Hope for the future. Hope for what to expect and for what they would all become. It may only be their first year but it had already given them so much.

He continued to listen to his friends and went to sit with them on the couch. Hikori couldn't wait to find out what would happen next.

So this is then end of Destiny.
