Baka!

Chapter 6: Fire

That night,well morning seeing as it was 5 am when I arrived home, I slept immediately my sleeping pills discarded on the nightstand. I slept all the way until 3 in the after noon on Saturday when my father came to wake me up

"Morning, Monkey!" He shouted loudly bursting through the door and flopping on my bed beside me
"It's time for you to wake up you've been asleep for too long, I'm starting to miss you kid"

"Shh dad I'm tired" I grumbled pulling the covers up and rolling with my back to him

"Hm? I have no clue what you said but come on don't be difficult- or do you want a visit from your old friend?"

"Father" I warned, my voice way stronger than before

"Daughter" he replied as I felt him shift behind me. I groaned which turned into a laugh when he attacked my sides

"STOP IT! ILL KILL YOU OLD MAN!" I screamed and laughed kicking at him, he stopped when he saw that I was awake.

"Never too old for tickles Monkey, always remember that" I growled at him crossing my arms

"Now I won't be able to go back to sleep!"

"That's the idea, get up I wanna train today it's been foreverrr" he groaned shaking me by my arms

"Okay! Get out so that I can get ready" he kissed my forehead before rolling off of my bed and bouncing out of my bedroom. Sometimes I'm convinced that he didn't age past 6 years old, I ran my hands through my hair before getting up to shower. I was ready soon after wearing a red tank top and black leggings with black sneakers and my hair secured in a tight low bun, I swiped up my phone looking at my colored contact on the dresser.

"I didn't want anybody to know" I said breathlessly, not because of the mini panic attack that just had, but because of how close I was to Katsuki.

"Well I know. And never wear those damn contacts again"

I bit my bottom lip. One day at a time, Emiko. I dropped the case in the draw and headed out of my room without them in

"Hey sweetheart, I made you-" both of them froze looking directly at me, I bit my bottom lip tucking hair behind my ear

"Yes?" I asked hoping that they wouldn't mention my eye, a confident smiled covered my dad's face and Anahi pulled me in for a side hug. I let out a breath of air
"Do I look okay?" I asked them

"You look pretty Emiko"

"Your eye! It looks so cool!"

They said at the same time, Anahi glared at my dad.
"And pretty. Yes you look very pretty Emiko" he back tracked shoving food in his mouth, I chuckled sitting across from him

"I made you some food since you slept late today, your father says you're going out to train today huh?" I nodded at her shoving food into my mouth as well

"Yeth. Ith bween a lonf time" I said through a mouth of food, she shook her head getting up

"Ah, I see. Well have fun you two, and you don't push her too hard" she pointed at my dad and patted my shoulder before disappearing into the living room to watch her shows.

"Youh rehty, Momkey??" He asked finishing off his food. I nodded and we left out the door quickly
————
"Good, but you need to be faster when switching between elements" I used the air to lift myself and he lunged up, I didn't switch quickly enough and was met with a punch to the gut. I grunted using my air swipe to knock him away
"You're amazing with the air, give me something different"

He whipped a blade of air at me and I made a rock wall before kicking it toward him, he leaped out of the way running toward me again

"Come on, Emiko! I can read you like a book, switch it up!" He shouted and I turned and received another punch to the gut

"DAMMIT!" I screamed, dodging his next hit and sending him back with a strong kick. I don't know why I'm off my game today, but I've gotten hit more than ever before and it's starting to piss me off because it doesn't feel too great. He was immediately back on me, I blocked and dodged his hits ducking as he threw pieces of earth at me. I kicked one of them back and it flew at him knocking him down, the longer we fought the more angry I grew because I kept getting hit

"What's with you today, Monkey?!" He shouted forming a blade using water and sent it whipping at me, I let out a low growl and a scream before I released fire. It met with the water forming a huge cloud of steam that temporarily blinded him, I ran through it and delivered a high heel kick knocking him on his back.

"Holy shit" he breathed out staring up at me dumbfounded. My chest heaved as I breathed heavily, clenching my fist tightly.
"You did it.." he laughed in disbelief standing up

"How do you feel? Emiko??" I took deep breaths calming myself down

"I feel fine now, why?" I growled, He ran a hand through his hair

"Both of your eyes are white" he said slowly reaching for me, he touched my arms and flinched away
"Jeez, why does your skin feels like it's on fire. That's enough for now, let's go home Monkey" I nodded touching my own arm, which felt fine. I tried to pull water from the air and it immediately evaporated

"Wait" he stopped looking back at me
"I want to try and use it. This part of my quirk" he nodded reluctantly and stood away.

I held my hands up gasping when fire pooled in them, I pushed more fire to my palms and made it spring up. I forced it to spread to the rest of my body and I was completely on fire, I smiled wide turning around

"Dad, I can control- it..." I mumbled the last part, he was on the ground with his head in his hands. I put out the fire around me and my little left over anger subsided
"Dad?" I crouched in front of him and touch his arm, he looked up at me and his face was streaked with tears.

"I'm sorry, Emi... sometimes you look just like her, it's kinda scary. You know I love Anahi, but your mother was something completely different. She- I was in love with her. And everytime I look at you, and see your eyes and the color of your hair and skin you instantly remind me of her. The older you get the more you look like her- and you have her quirk! My goodness, you're the spitting image, even your temper and the way you fight so aggressively" he laughed a little looking at me sadly

"I wish you would've gotten a chance to know her. Yeah, she did some bad things and I'm not disregarding those, but when it comes to people that she loved and cared for she was a completely different woman. Despite what anyone tells you" he promised pulling me in for a hug, I hugged him tightly making sure he felt all of my love. He missed her I know, but he's never opened up to me about her like this. Even if it's only a little bit, it's more than I've ever gotten.

"Dad, what's her name?" He wiped his eyes

"Her name is Emiko. I named you after her, because I never wanted to forget her"
