*A few hours later*
I typically got a few hours after school to do homework and whatever else I needed to do. I’d have to be in the training room at 7pm sharp, and any later than that would result in worse and longer training, even a minute late.
It was now 6:50, and I had to get ready. Typically I’d wear normal, easy-to-move-in clothes, however, this had to be different.
I wore my same hoodie, and was determined to keep the hood up the entire time. My senses were enhanced, so I didn’t have to worry about being able to see him that well. I could maneuver just fine without eyesight.
Because of these new enhancements, I’d wear a mask to cover my fangs, along with a pair of old sunglasses so my good ones wouldn’t get damaged during training. It may seem sketchy, but my excuse would be to learn to fight wearing different stuff to make me stronger… it’d probably seem dumb, but to my father, any way to get me to be stronger would work.
…
Long story short, he let me wear the odd clothes. It didn’t take much convincing, and I easily beat him in a spar because of my enhanced abilities. He seemed surprised, but I didn’t say too much of it. Once I beat him, he let me go out of training early, which was surprising, even for him.
I mean… he has gotten a little better with the training recently because I’m in UA……
Yeah… that was 3 weeks ago… and I had no clue how much worse my condition would get…
For starters, I gained a lot of new powers. I don’t use these powers, as it would make me suspicious. The first one I got was teleportation, so now I can teleport, which could be useful in the future.
I then got the ability to turn into a bat, which I guess is also cool, but I can't ever use that one since it’d give me away right away.
About a few days after, I got the ability to read people’s minds. I don’t use this one, as I think it’s kinda creepy. The only time I used it was when I first got it, which was in class. I had glanced over at Midoriya, and had heard an echo in my mind, which was, of course, about him fanboying about All Might. It didn’t surprise me in the slightest, but then I knew that I had gotten the new power.
My last power that I’ve gotten was the ability to dictate a person’s next move. I learned this while sparring with my father, and I was able to easily predict what he was gonna do. This gave me the advantage in the fight, and I won the fight because of this power.
My senses also got way better and more sensitive, which was annoying. I was able to see in the dark very easily, almost like it was daytime, and it was also easier to fight. Aside from that though, it was straight up annoying. Any loud noise hurt my ears, and any light hurt my eyes, so I learned to navigate with my eyes closed mainly everywhere I went.
Something that I had lost was my reflection. I could no longer see myself in the mirror, which was kinda annoying to be honest.
The worst thing though, not even a competition for this spot, was the blood hunger.
Every time I smelled someone's blood, it was difficult to hold back, WAY difficult. Any blood smelled good, and it even got to the point where I couldn’t be in the cafeteria anymore. During lunchtime, I’d go up to the rooftop to get fresh air.
Anytime someone would start bleeding, I’d have to remove myself from the area IMMEDIATELY! There was one time where I was sparring Midoriya in class, and he started bleeding. I made up the excuse that I was very tired, and left, leaving many people suspicious since I almost ran out of the arena.
I also barely slept, getting little to no sleep. The most sleep I got was around 30 minutes a night. Most of my class time I slept, and yes, I had gotten called out a few times, but less times than I had thought.
My classmates were also worrying about me a LOT. At this point, Aizawa even seemed worried. My classmates (especially Midoriya) would ask if I was okay. It made me annoyed that they couldn’t leave me alone, but I mean, how could they not be worried? I never socialized and I basically looked depressed. Heck, even Bakugou had asked me a few times if I was okay, and THAT’S saying something.
I had stopped walking to school since the sun became even more painful on my skin, so very early in the day, I’d just teleport to the school so no one saw me.
Morning was boring as always, classmates asking if I was okay and lots of boring lessons from teachers. It was normal, until lunchtime.
“Hey Todoroki,” Midoriya walked up to me. I tried my hardest to NOT think about digging my fangs into his neck. Whenever someone walked up to me and started talking, I always got that visual and urge to bite them. This was clearly one of those times, as the smell of his blood was so strong I could practically taste the smell when I breathed through my mouth.
“H-Hey Midoriya… need something,” I asked him. He had a straight face on, which wasn’t normal as he was always smiling.
“As a matter of fact, I do need something from you,” he said, grabbing my hand and starting to drag me somewhere.
“H-Hey, what are you doing?” I asked him, surprised and trying to pull away. He stopped for a moment, and turned to look at me.
“We need to talk,” he said sternly. “Come on now.” I sighed, and followed him, still never looking at him the whole time. It was still VERY difficult to hold back, the scent of his sweet blood almost hypnotizing me to bite into his silky smooth skin.
He led me to the rooftop, which was kinda strange, but nothing that I wasn’t used to. It also slightly helped me with the fresh, blowing air around me.
“Before I start talking, I want you to look at me.” This made me tense up. If I looked at him, it’d reveal my whole appearance, which I didn’t want.
“I-I can’t…” I stuttered. It was also cloudy, which helped me as I wasn’t being blinded by the sun, but at the same time, I couldn’t give an excuse to not look at Midoriya. I took a single step back.
“Why not, there’s no reason to not look at me,” he said, trying to see my face as I was looking down. I turned away from his glance, not wanting to reveal my face to him. I started getting nervous, as the scent of his sweet blood was getting to me by every second. It was kinda better as we were outside, but the smell of his blood was still dyingly strong. I was also nervous because I didn’t want to show him my new appearance.
I turned to leave, him getting a bit more frustrated as he tightly gripped onto my hand. I tried pulling away, him pulling back, wanting me to stay.
“Todoroki stop! Stop running away! Stop pushing everyone away, I just wanna know why you’re like this!” This made me get frustrated.
“I can’t tell you,” I replied back, still keeping my head down and trying to pull away. He kept his grip, getting me more frustrated.
“Why not?! I want to help you, you need to stop pushing everyone away! I don’t understand, something’s wrong and I-”
“STOP,” I turned around and looked at him out of frustration, showing him my new appearance. Showing him my blood red eyes. Showing him my pale skin. Showing him my hair with now black tips. Showing him… my fangs. I started shaking, as I had now broken what I told myself not to do, which was to never show my new appearance. I broke it. I broke my promise.
His eyes went wide, wider than they normally were. He immediately let go of my hand, me starting to shed a few tears. I took a few more steps back and away from him.
“Stop… what’s happened to me, can’t get better… you can’t help me, I can’t be helped,” I told him, shedding a few tears with it. He was surprised, VERY surprised and shocked. He seemed so speechless. I didn’t know what else to do, so I ran. I ran away, tears falling down my pale cheeks as I knew my appearance was now out there. I could only think of the worst possible outcomes, as I’d lose all of my friends, possibly be kicked out of UA, and even possibly be abandoned by my family as they’d possibly be scared of me.
I ran home, not caring about my last classes. I didn’t bother to hide my face, as I ran into my home with my hood down. Natsuo and Fuyumi had seen me, but I didn’t care. I didn’t care about anything right now. All I wanted to do was go to my room and stay there for the rest of my life.
I didn’t get to see Natsuo and Fuyumi’s reaction to me, as I just ran past them without caring. They tried asking about my appearance and why I was so upset, but like I said, I tuned them out and ran to my room.
I got to my room, going to my bed straight away and sobbing into my pillow. All of my emotions that I hid from the past 3 weeks, were coming out now. Everything I was hiding was now out, and I was terrified to know what was gonna happen to me. I’d be deemed a monster, and probably get kicked out of everything, even the Todoroki name…
