Chapter 5

"Try harder."

"I can't! We've been doing this for hours."

Aizawa rolls his eyes, shooting his scarf at me, it wrapping around my body, cutting off circulation. I gasp and try to escape to no avail. God I'm so tired.

"You aren't pushing yourself hard enough."

So what's going on? Well, after the whole sports festival incident, I've been under close watch by Eraser Head himself. Everyone else was at their internships currently. Shouto and I have hung out a lot, being as he was working with his father while I was with Aizawa. It was tough work, but if I wanted to not be killed, I needed to push myself.

Smoke surrounds my body as I try to morph into my beast form. The effort is tiring, but Aizawa doesn't let up. He was serious.

"Fuck!" I yell as my body morphs completely. This time though, I could feel myself in control. Aizawa keeps his hold on me though, unsure if it was me. His eyes glance at where mine would be.

"(F/N)?"

I nod which he actually smiles about. The scarf retracts and I stretch my new limbs. I shake my body, fur flowing and the exposed bones all clanking around. I let out a roar, this was amazing. This is what power was.

For about an hour I stayed in this form, learning how to sneak and attack. I could use my shadow ability in this form now too, making me practically invisible at will.

It was night now. Damn, we worked all day again. Aizawa left to go do some work for the school, so I was left here to  train a little more. I grab my phone, scrolling through to see how the others were doing so far. I stop when I get a text from Midoriya. Why did he send me his location?

I double over, my head pounding. It's like my vision is doubled, then it steadily gets normal, but sharper. Something is wrong. This feeling, it's like when I am with Shouto, but different. I have to do something.

"I'm sorry, Aizawa."

Shifting into my beast form I run along the roofs of buildings. The feeling grew stronger as I kept getting closer. In the distance, flames and ice dance in an alleyway. Bingo. I see a figure jump in the air, but I use a claw to smack them down back into the ground. I land, shaking the earth. I sniff the air, my head turning to Shouto. Also there was Izuku and Iida. The two boys cower in fear, but Shouto comes up hesitant. I nuzzle my snout into his hand. He smiles.

"Glad you could make it (f/n)."

I nod, turning to the villain who was now laughing.

"What a monstrosity, yet such a lovely quirk!" He jumps, throwing knives at the boys. My body moves in front of them, the knives sticking into my back instead.

"Does your blood taste as good as I think!?"

I dont know when, but he grabbed one of the knives from my body, licking my blood from the blade. All is silent until he coughs, vomiting on the spot.

"Y-your blood is tainted! How dare you."

Shouto sends a wave of flam his way, but the villain moves, throwing knives into his arm. I growl and roar. This bastard was about to fucking die.

I need to be careful though,  I dont have much longer, I can feel myself slipping out of control. The villain jumps, but Izuku and Iida power up, smashing their ultimate attacks into him. Before he falls, I grab him by his legs with my teeth, thrashing around until they completely tear off of his body. The man screams as he lands on the other side of the alley.

I swallow the legs, the bones crushing loudly in my jaw. I growl and pounce, my jaw trapping his head before I chomp it off. It slips into my throat with ease. Finally I shift back, burping. Oops.

When I turn around, Izuku and Iida are looking at me. My hand waves over, a smile forming on my face.

"How are your internships?"

They look at one another, but then laugh. Iida still is crying, so I come and hug the boy. He hugs back tightly, Izuku joins in. They pull away, Izuku's face green.

"What?"

"(F/n) you literally just ate a villain."

Oh right. "Yeah sorry, force of habit."

My eyes widen when I realize what I had just said. They look at me confused before Izuku starts to help Iida who is severely injured.

Shouto grabs my shoulder, turning me to face him. He pulls a cloth from his pocket, using it to wipe what I'm guessing was left over blood from my tummy meal. There is a new look in his eyes. What was it?

"Did you feel it?"

Huh?

"Feel what, Shouto?"

The twinkle in his eye makes my heart skip a beat. "That pull again. It couldn't have been just me."

"You're right." I say, grabbing his hand. "I felt something. That's how I knew where to find you, that something was wrong."

Without another word, he leans in capturing my lips with his. Oh god can he taste the blood? Am I a good kisser? I kiss back causing him to smile against my lips, a hand on my cheek
We pull away, both out of breathe.

"I'm happy then." Shouto states, pecking my lips.

Izuku walks over holding Iida up the best he can, a blush present on his face. "G-guys we should get out of here. Shouto, can you stay until the pros come?"

Shouto agrees as the boys make their way back to their agencies. It was now just us two, plus what was left of the man's body.

"(F/n)."

"Hmm."

"You should get out of here. I don't want my father finding you here." He kisses me softly. "I'll see you next week in class."

I nod, shifting into a shadow and racing down the streets. Did that really just happen?

Am I in love with Shouto?
