I Don't Run An Orphanage!

Chapter 59

Sinking in Darkness.

"So what you're telling me, is that Kiba, who was already feeling guilty about the amount of property damage she might have caused since she's been here, asked you to show her physical proof of this, and you just...let her," Izuku asked, clutching his head as headaches assaulted him.

"Well, to be fair I didn't think she'd caused THAT much property damage," Shoto said, defending himself. "I thought it would motivate her to be more careful. I didn't think it'd cause her to react like that."

Even though he said that Shoto could see now that he'd made a mistake. He figured that out when while they were looking through the papers, Kiba burst into tears and ran out of the room.

"I'm so sorry for this Midoriya!" Momo and Iida were present alongside her classmate.

"I was aware that Todoroki was emotionally distant but I didn't know he was this out of touch!" Iida gave an apologetic bow on behalf of his classmate.

"We apologize on behalf of class 1A. We sincerely apologize for causing this!" Momo also bowed.

Izuku took a deep breath, trying to reign in his headache. "Okay, take me to her."

XXXXXXXXX

Izuku was in a wheelchair, being wheeled by Iida towards Kiba's room.

Outside of Kiba's room were Fu, Nara, Ken, Netsu, Shiruku, Eri, and Kei.

"Daddy!" Kei immediately ran over to Izuku and looked at him worryingly. "Daddy, Kiba is acting weird!"

"Yes, I heard." Izuku nodded. "I'm going to see her now."

Izuku looked at Iida. "I'll wheel myself now."

"Are you sure that's wise?" Iida asked him.

Izuku nodded. "I'll be fine. Please just...I think I'll need to talk to her alone."

Iida looked hesitant, but ultimately understood, and backed off.

With that, Izuku wheeled himself towards Kiba's door, looking at the concerned looks on his kid's faces.

As he approached the door, he took a deep breath, readying himself for what he might see on the other side.

He pushed the door open, and what he saw was...odd.

Kiba was just sitting on her bed, watching television.

"H-Hey Kiba," Izuku said, as he wheeled himself in and closed the door behind him.

Kiba looked over to him and winced with guilt. And it hurt Izuku, so much to see her do that. "H-Hi daddy."

After she greeted him, Kiba almost immediately looked away.

Izuku frowned and wheeled himself closer to her. "I know you looked at the files."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Kiba asked in a sad, low voice. "I destroyed so much stuff. I didn't know...I hurt you."

"No, sweetheart you-" Izuku tried to explain but she interrupted him.

"Don't lie to me!" Kiba suddenly shouted, looking tearfully at Izuku. "You told us you were ok! But you weren't! You didn't tell me I was giving you so much work, and hurting you! And now you're like this and it's my fault!"

"I..." Izuku was at a loss for words. He wanted to just say that it wasn't true, be clearly he had overused simple hand-wavy explanations like that. Meaning his only real option here was to be a bit truthful. "Ok...I can't hide it from you anymore. You did give me...a lot of work, with all the things you broke. But that's part of why you're here! Why you're all here! Your quirks are very powerful and destructive, that's not any of your faults! Kai gives me a lot of work to do just by living here. Netsu constantly makes small burns everywhere and sets things on fire occasionally. Fukunoko's room needs to be constantly inspected and maintained to make sure there are no leaks. And all the work that goes into feeding you all is far more exhausting than you could ever be."
