Chapter 5

"Vrrr vrrrr vrrr vrr-" you turned off the alarm on your phone (now on silent so it doesn't wake everyone else up) and started getting ready for another day of school.

A week had passed since you had developed your 'water sword' and through your training you've been able to hold its form for roughly 30-40 seconds.

You were now getting ready to go to school, brushing your silky black hair and adding a little red ribbon through it having it sit at the top of your head.

'I look so cute!' You giggled to yourself as you started to do little poses in the mirror.

'Ok now, focus Mitsuki you need to go to school now' you ordered yourself to get out of the bathroom and go make your usual coffee.

Walking up to the coffee machine you realise that there wasn't any water left in it but seeing that the sink was at the other end of the kitchen you were hesitant to go re-fill it.

"Screw my lazy ass" you muttered to yourself.

'Hmm I could always just fi- no no no we are not doing that again' you thought angrily as you recalled the last time you used your quirk inside the house.

3 YEARS AGO: It was the evening when you were washing the dishes and there were some bits of food left on a plate that you just couldn't seem to get off no matter how hard you scrubbed....that's when you had an idea

'hmm if I set my quirk at a high force I should be able to remove it' You pondered as you stared at the plate seeing your reflection in the mirror, your face was smooth not even a single spot in sight

'guess that's a side effect when absorbing all the water I use for my quirk' you theorised.

You checked to see if your mother was around since you knew that she wasn't to fond of your quirk.

You remembered when she used to watch you and dad spar and every time you sent water his way she would flinch and you could feel her staring at you more vigorously, more coldly.

However you didn't see her anywhere around you so you just shrugged your shoulders and used your quirk to clean the dish.

"Wow this works great!" You said to yourself in a happy tone and in that small moment you were happy, happy that your quirk could do something right for this family for once....until she found out.

You were nearly done, when all of a sudden the water coming out of your hand was scalding your palm.

"Aaah!" You screamed as you immediately stopped using your quirk and dropped the plate onto the floor leaving a huge mess of broken shards falling everywhere, oh did that piss her off even more. She let out a howling scream as she charged for you and slammed your head onto the kitchen counter making your hearing go all fuzzy and everything was muffled. She then reached for a piece of the now smashed plate and cut you across your left cheek leaving a deep cut.

Your vision was getting blurry but you think you recalled your dad storming in, pulling your deranged mother off of you and dragging her away while they left you alone in the kitchen.

'At least it was a Saturday' you thought as you blacked out. You woke up on the sofa the next morning with a huge plaster on your face, the strangest thing that happened that day though was your fathers behaviour... he was actually nicer to you. He didn't shout, he spoke calmly, he even cancelled training that day and said that you needed to rest.

BACK TO PRESENT DAY: While filling up the coffee machine with water from the sink, you thought about that day.

'Maybe he felt bad' you wondered, your dad did usually encourage you to use your quirk in different ways that you hadn't thought of so maybe he realised that it wasn't your fault but your mothers for once.
