Beast In The Woods

Kinda Cliché

Izuku mimicked Aizawa crossed arms as he watched the two minor villains be taken away by the police. His tail coiled around his legs on the ground and his Hounds sat beside him. From the corner of his eye he saw Nem stiffle a laugh as she took multiple pictures with her phone. Aizawa scowled at them both and turned to leave.

Eariler, the ever tired hero had glared at Izuku for not reporting the incident immediately and had tasked him with an essay on what should be notified to others and not in a hero's capacity. The feral boy felt that was unfair since he had stopped two villains by himself, he counts the Hounds as part of him. Nezu on the other hand was a bit more relieved that Izuku hadn't told anyone until later which saved the hide of UA from getting another blemish, but he never said any of that to anyone.

All in all, the School Festival ended on a high note as everyone enjoyed themselves. Eri returned to 1A's stall for more food with a small but eager smile. Everyone more than happy to oblige her wants. Nork continued to relax on his patch of grass with his book, never having had to move an inch. Meanwhile, Mina and Hagakure were filled in about what had happened with Izuku while they were out getting people to visit their stall.

The pack of 1A sat somewhat together in the dorms as they devoured the left over rice, noodles, and skewers. The Hounds and Nork sat around Izuku as they ate their portions. Skal using his razor whip tail as a makeshift fork and delicately ate his meal one piece at a time. Meanwhile, Daal just unhinged his two lower jaws and dug in. The other two Hounds ate normally as dogs.

Izuku watched Daal for a moment and nodded. He had his lower jaw split in half slowly as he worked out the mechanics of how his jaw joint should move and moving the muscles in the correct position. A seam appeared at his chin and his Mate caught his actions. Just as he was going to open his two jaws like Daal did, Mina grabbed his jaws keeping it closed and joined together.

"Nah, uh. Not while we are eating." Mina said firmly. She used her other hand to grab some noodles and open his jaw to feed him. "When everyone is finished you can show off."

Izuku pouted but ate the noodles offered to him. He shifted his jaws and slowly began to feel the new sensation. He continued to eat as he contemplated if he should add fangs now that he could effectively bite things. Possibly keep the venom sacs empty just in case.

"What?" Kacchan looked up from his extreamly spicy food to eye the couple, more specifically Izuku.

The feral boy was about to explain but Mina shot him a look. He scrunched up his face but listened to her. "I'll show after we finish." Izuku mumbled with a bigger pout.

Mina pinched his nose. "Adorable."

He half-heartily tried to bite her hand but then focused on his food again. As he ate he felt a vibrating come from his abdomen. He pulled out his phone and saw it was Gang Orca. He apologized for not being able to visit him at the School Festival since it got busy. His mentor was confirming Izuku's schedule for the week for his internship. The feral boy confirmed everything with a thumb that split into four to type faster.

Just before he said his farewells, he looked at his Hounds and Nork. They were just about fully grown and have learned much of what they could behind the safety of UA. They needed real life experience like he did when he started with Gang. He sent a message asking Gang Orca about bringing them and he took a long moment before responding in the affirmative.

Izuku smiled and turned to the five creatures. "Wanna join me with Gang tomorrow?"

The Hounds perked up at being addressed and looked up at Izuku. They all immediate agreed to join in their pack leader's job. Nork on the other hand replied with hand signs. 'I want to do that and learn more like Nezu taught me.'
