The walk back to the school is silent as I carried midoriya. I held him bridal style. He was pale from the lack of sunlight and nutrition lately, but even so. I could still see the change taking effect immediately. Midoriya would wake up a full ghost.
I'm surprised when we reach giant gates where the school should be. They give a signal, and the gates begin opening. I'm surprised to see it was indeed the school, but a lot more people were there than what I remember. The moment we walked in and the people saw the motionless body in my arms, though. They started screaming insults. The sight disgusted me. The way people acted towards things that were different from them was atrocious. It made me think every single time. Why do i continue to protect them. My obsession bounds me too. Im a slave to it. Whether i want to or not, i can't stop. grit my teeth. I seeth rising in the air.

"You dare speak so badly about the one person who cares for you more than anyone. You should feel ashamed. He has died for you." There's silence, not a peep was made." Yes, deku will wake a full ghost. An almost invincible being. And though I discourage his silly obsession with you people. We are one in the same. With the same obsession. As long as I stand, I Danny phantom will not let you hurt him. I and our class will protect him."

There's suddenly movement from my arms. Midoriya opens his eyes, and they are slightly darker neon green than mine. I float to the ground, letting him stand. He was staring at his hands, not saying a word. I'm only reasured he's OK when he looks up and smiles, giving me a nod. Uraraka runs over, screams some encouraging things into the crowd, and begging them to please allow him to stay. A lady steps forward, explaining how midoriya saved her life and that she trusted him.

The students and everyone go inside as I float to the top of the school, looking over the city. My heart was braking in more ways than one. I care for the people, and at the same time, almost every single one of them piss me off.

I stay at the top of the school, staring into the distance. A lot had changed since I had first come to this school. I'm surprised when a voice yells up to me from a distance. Looking down, I see it was Toshinori. Jumping down, I land on my feet. I look up at the man.

It had been a while since I had seen him. With everything going on, I haven't been able to keep up with everyone.

Toshinori sure did look different from when I first met him. It might not be noticeable to most people, but I could tell. I could tell how his body has aged in the short amount of time. How his mannerisms had changed. He was different since the battle that ended his hero career. I'm not surprised. It wasn't a bad thing. It was just something I had observed from him.

"Danny, you're back!" I state up at the man with a nod." I'm glad you and midoriya have returned unharmed." I freeze avoiding eye contact. Did he not understand when I had stated midoriya had died for them?

"Toshinori, we may have returned, but not all is well. Your student, he's not the same. He will never be the same. He has joined my kind!" Toshinori gives a sad smile, pulling me into a hug.

"I know, Danny. Midoriya gave me a small insight into what had happened. I also had a feeling before he had left. It was one of the reasons he had been so troubled. I can't help but thank you, though. You made sure to bring him back. You and him share something i could never comprehend. A connection between heroes."

I float up, looking him in the eye." You give me too much credit. If anything, I've been selfish. I've been thinking I could handle everything all on my own. It's my job as the ghost king to protect the human world and the ghost zone. The truth of the matter is. I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing!

"A friend told me that I needed to start thinking of my actions more, and I believe him, but..... I don't know how. Every time I have in the past. I've gotten someone either hurt or killed." I'm surprised when i feel arms wrap around me pulling my body into a hug. I couldn't help hugging back." You've had a tougher life than most. Make decisions you should have had to. You died to early in your life. Your still a child. A lot is being asked of you, but let us help. Let's the hero's help you. Let's the adults help make the difficult decisions. Your not facing this alone. I cry into his shoulder hugging him close. I needed this.

After my heart warming welcome from Toshinori I fly through the building into the dorms. I needed to talk to my class. I find the girls in the living room. Without a word they point to the boys bathroom. I nod my thanks. If my heart was beating. It would be going a thousand miles an hour. Opening the door. The heat of the bath instantly hits me.

The room immediately goes silent as I walk in. Midoriya was in the bath being yelled at by kat, but stopped once he noticed I had been standing there. I fiddle with my hands looking down. Now that I was here I didn't know what to say. There's so much I wanted to say, but I didn't know how to start." Stop standing there and get cleaned up so you can get in the damn bath." My head snapped up to see kat smirking at me while he gave midoriya a noogy. Poor dude. I couldn't help nodding.
