Born for Greatness - Hitoshi Shinsou

4 // Hero Battle Training! Pt.1

- Kazuhiko's POV -

The next morning, I woke up, shocking. My hair had turned entirely white. At least, what remained. I was in pain and grief, for my beloved hair was the one thing I could take pride in. I looked over to the right of the bed, at Minami, with a sombre look gracing my features.

"Whoever did this to me is going to pay..." I murmured, spite in my eyes as I glared at no one. I suppose I needed someone to blame.

When my father came back that evening, he explained that there was someone who could help me. It was that kid from before. What was his name? Yuri? Yuuro? Yuureo! That was it! He seemed... Unamused. He gently laid his hand on my head, tracing his fingers as if he were drawing.

"Like magic, her hair grew back to its original length, and it didn't hurt anymore." Just as he said it would happen, my hair grew back. It was like magic! My scalp didn't hurt anymore, and my negative emotions suddenly dispersed. I immediately bowed, joy rushing through my body. Even though my hair was still white, I felt alive again, "Thank you very much. I am forever in your debt!"

"G-get u-up." He squeaked with a somewhat annoyed expression, "C-ca-ca-can I-I go-go no-now? I ha-hav-have t-t-to loo-look af-after m-my si-sister." Dad nodded, and he walked away. I gave dad a hug.

"Can I go back to school tomorrow, dad?" He nodded, and I cheered, rushing back to my room to tell Zuku.

'Hey, Zuku! I got my hair back. I can go to school tomorrow! Teehee!'

'Really? That's great!'

'So, I'll come to pick you up tomorrow, kay Zuku?'

'Alright, I'll see you tomorrow.'

After reading his last text, I placed my phone out with a content sigh. I decided to get ready for bed, but as I glanced in the mirror, my heart stopped. My hair was white... Why is it white?!

I quickly picked up my phone and googled it. I found an answer... "Marie Antoinette Syndrome... From great amounts of stress, your hair turns white?!" How didn't I notice this before...?! I glanced at Minami. "I guess this is my life now..." I muttered to myself coldly. I continued the rest of my regular routine, before going to bed.

-Time Skip-

The blaring of my stupid alarm clock woke me up. I was tired and hit the snooze button until I had about an hour until school started and my running record to Izuku's house was 2 minutes. I had way too much time, but I got up anyways. I got the school uniform and got changed in about 10 minutes while struggling to get my hair right I took another 10 minutes. I ate breakfast for another 10 minutes and did the secret handshake with my dad, bidding him farewell. I had my hair up in a ponytail today, the school told me not to participate in activities today to give myself time to heal mentally and physically. I would do exercises without my quirk to keep up my strength, but that was about it. As I ran to Izuku's house, I smiled. Kazuhiko was back in business!

When I got to Izuku's house, my smile widened as I knocked on the door softly, "Zuku! Zuku! I'm here~" The door nearly flew open as Izuku stepped out and hugged me. His chin placed snuggly on the top of my head as I smiled brightly.

"You worried me, Kazuhiko!"

"Did I now?" I teased, "Why? Do you love me?~"

His face turned red, "N-not in that way! I-I swea-swear! I wou-would never!"

"I wouldn't mind dating you Zuku!" I chirped and smirked. His face turned more red, if possible, as he spluttered. I just laughed and started walking away, "I'll come back when you're sane!" He quickly sped up after me.

Maybe today won't be so bad!

I know this chapter's super short, but I'm just trying to get something out before my laptop goes back into the shop AGAIN. I'm really sorry, and I'm just trying to be able to make stories consistently again. Thank you for understanding!
