Broken Ice

-9- Others

Quirk merges, quirk marriages - both resulting in something ultimately painful, both with the same purpose: to choose/enhance a specific quirk or set of quirks. People like Endeavor and my mother use this to their advantage, making children with powerful quirks to meet their needs and expectations.

Dabi-sama had finally filled me in on my mother's true intentions now that I've become trained with a sword.

My mother and her 'clan' have been breeding children for the longest time, aiming for merged quirks. Children that did not have a merged quirk, or one that was not considered of value were either left alone or outcasted from the clan.

There are 30 of us, or rather 31 with me:
14 of 31 were cast out leaving 17.
11 of 17 were killed by kin or battle with pro heroes leaving 6.
5 of 6 remain in the clan.

Kids like me... their mother or father are villains while their other parent are civilians or heroes. Kids that have a merged quirk but... but I'm the only child of Yuki's, the leader, my mother. Apparently she never did it because she despised the thought of having a child, but because the results of the merges weren't to her liking she went and searched before having me. For the sole purpose of having someone to lead those with merged quirks.

I was made for a purpose, a path I was supposed to lead and am being pulled towards with so much force that I feel I can't take it anymore, I have a destiny... one of darkness and evil within the ranks of my mother.

"Aimi-chan, are you alright, you seem quieter than usual," Shoto spoke, stopping me from walking, "What's on your mind?"

I shook my head and smiled up at him, "I'm alright Shoto-kun, just a lot on my mind right now."

He chuckled and nodded, "I can see that Aimi, will you at least tell me later?"

"Sai-chan!"

"Ai-chan!"

I sighed and looked over at my childhood friends who waved at me from the gates of the school, "It's not that big of a deal, I promise."

Shoto narrowed his eyes at me and scoffed, "I know you better than that, so I will see you at the clearing tonight or I am breaking into your house. Your choice." He smiled before turning on his heal and walking into the school gates.

I blinked and shook my head, "You are getting way too comfortable with me!"

He nodded from afar and waved his hand.

"Cocky icy hot..." I muttered, walking into the gates to be with my friends.

Izu-kun and Katsu-kun bickered as they always had as we made our way to class.

My mind continued to swarm the rest of the day, it all seemed like an old movie that you see though another person. I was in control the whole time, but it was all passing by at an odd rate if that makes any sense. I wasn't paying any attention to my notes or to the lectures, I was barely there during lunch and even less for hero training. This whole thing about other kids related to the ice clan is going to drive me insane.

I have to find them... 

I sighed and tapped my pen down at the desk, my head throbbing as I stared at the computer in front of me. Hours and hours of research on the people Dabi-sama had told me about, he couldn't tell me names but he could tell me their quirks. 

Hours of jumping on trails that eventually went cold on each one. The only one with significant trails so far has been 'sandstorm' Shinobu and Haru. Creating chaos in seemingly random places but... from what I can see, they were trying to save people from villains that Pro Heroes were just not up for.
