Chapter 8: A new home - Part 1

____________________________

Thursday, November 2

"D-Dabi?"

"Yes, it's me. Now open the door. It's freezing cold," he replies, with a monotone voice.

I open the door and step aside so he can walk in. I observe every detail of him, because last time I saw him we were fighting so it was difficult to get a good look at him. His black hair, blue eyes, piercings. He looks like he's about 20 years old. But what strikes me most is that his body is completely burned in several places. His skin is held together with metal sutures. He looks like a burned chicken nugget. But I'll keep that to myself. He must've gone trough a lot.

"Why are you here, Dabi?" I say to break the silence.

"Is this where you live?" he asks, ignoring my question.

"Yes, temporarily. I'll have to find a better place. But for now, I'm happy I at least have a safe place to sleep."

"I see," he responds, looking around. "I'm here to talk about our fight earlier. You told me it was 'time for you to rise'. Could you please explain that to me more specifically?"

~ Flashback ~

"W-what are you?" he asks, overwhelmed by my immense strength.

I fly closer to him. So close that our noses almost touch. "Listen. I'm on your side," I whisper. "I'm Hoshiyoru Tsuki, All For One's daughter. You may not know me, because my father has been hiding me all my life. I decided is was time for me to rise. And that's excactly what I'm going to do. I'm trying to impress the pro-heroes to get into UA and spy on them. If I discover their secret plans and strategies to beat the League of Villains, I can use that against them, beat Toshinori and restore my father's honor. I'll become #1 villain and lead us to victory."

~ End of flashback ~

I look at him and smirk. "Of course," I say. "I told you who I am, right? I'm Hoshiyoru Tsuki...

~ Flashback ~

The kids start crying and run to their parents. "Mommy, that girl is scary! She's going to hurt us!" one of the kids says.

"S-she's a monster!" the other sobs.

"A.. monster?" I whisper.

I deactivate my Quirk and look at my hands.

Then, fathers nurse snaps me out of my thoughts.

"Hoshiyoru-chan! What are you doing here? Come with me, your father is angry and disappointed. He never expected something like this of you!"

She grabs my arm and pulls me against her, before lifting me up.

"Father! Father!" I cry.

I explain what happened in the playground.

"You should've listened to me and stayed inside, Tsuki. I say things with a reason. But, now that you have experienced this, you aren't going to do this again, are you?"

"No, father.."

"Good. And don't worry about those brats. Karma will take care of them."

"But.. What if it doesn't?" I ask.

"If Karma doesn't do its job properly..." he says, handing me a knife.

He remains silent for a few seconds.

"Become Karma."

~ End of flashback ~

"... But you can call me Karma," I say, confidently smiling at the knife on the floor next to my bag.

He looks at the knife. "Karma, huh? Is that your villain name?" he asks.

"It is."

"Well, well. Very well. Now, continue. You haven't answered my question yet."

"Then let me talk," I say, before continuing. "I am Karma. All For One's daughter. My father thinks I'm too young for everything. All my life, he has hidden me in his little abandoned building. I trained, every day, to become what he wants me to be. To be able to live in his expectations."

I can see his eyes widen, but I continue.

"I believe that I'm strong enough to prove him that I can be number one. That I can be what he wants me to be, and far beyond that. I'll prove him by surpassing him, beating Toshinori, becoming #1 villain and leading our League to the top. I will restore my fathers honor. And Toshinori will suffer for what he did to him."

I remain silent for a few seconds.

"And if Karma can't do it," I make my eyes light up.

"I'll become Karma."
