Reflected Darkness

A Fragile Breaking Point

Class was in session on a Saturday, annoying the Bakusquad as Sero wanted to sleep. Hannei had just finished cleaning up the extra workbooks and saw that Kamanari was making eye contact with Yamikumo and smiling. 

'Good, seems they are both talking for the most part.' She thought as she and Tokoyami had put the books away. "Tokoyami-san, I will fill out the chart. You may leave now. Thank you and Dark Shadow for your assistance."

"It is always a pleasure to help out someone as kind as you, Tsukikage-san." Tokoyami said as he gathered his things and saw Hannei filling out the chart.

Hannei had declined to go shopping with the girls that Saturday afternoon when Ashido asked her that morning for "Girl Bonding Time". Yes, it was a half-day and yes, her grandparents told her to go to her gymnastics lessons but she needed a break. 

After catching not only Toshi giving her the cold shoulder but then Kimi, her best friend, kissing Yamikumo who in turn told her a secret that was huge and yet, she felt so alone. Sure, she had Tsu, Ashido and Yaoyorozu but she needed someone she could confide in. 

Dabi, who she now lovingly calls Blue on account of his quirk that she saw the other night, was going to be busy and that girl from the other day, Himiko, she thinks was her name, was also busy but promised to catch up soon.

"Nei-Nei! Let's go shopping with the girls!" Kimi yelled as Hannei gathered her belongings, ignoring her friend. She was lost in a cloud of fog of her own consciousness.

"Tsukikage? Is everything okay?" Uraraka asked as Hannei left the classroom, going to change shoes. 

"What could have her so distracted?" Hagakure said, standing by Yaoyorozu and Ashido.

"I don't know, she was so distracted, Yamada-sensei yelled at her for not properly paying attention in class." Iida explained as Jiro walked to the door.

"Where are you going?" Tsu asked

"Tsukikage seemed upset, lets see why." Jiro explained as the girls nodded and followed her in stealth mode.

Hannei had reached the shoe room and opened the small shoe compartment she was assigned, listening to the buzz of the voices. Some of the voices were gossiping about how "The Big 3" were getting stronger and were already being scouted. Other voices were talking about how "she looks damn good", mainly coming from the general studies students who didn't know her. 

She gently sighs, opening the locker and was surprised by the 5 unusual gifts in her locker. 

The first one was an envelope had been a cream colored yet was slightly crumbled and it looked to be slightly filthy. On the front of it, was her name written but it was written as "Hannei". The second was a pristine envelope of white that read "Tsukikage" in Kanji. The 3rd was just an envelope that read "To Tsukikage Hannei". The 4th being a simple notecard with "Tsukikage" written in the familiar cursive. And the final letter had nothing on it.

She put them in her bag, put on her shoes and walked away. She was not going to be late to her lessons. She would read the notes later.

********

Her Gymnastics lesson was cut short on account of a villian attack. Hannei then got a text from her grandparents on the cheap phone they got her after destroying the other phone her parents had bought for her. The reason they destroyed it was because they said Hannei was distracted during the practice exercise against Yamikumo/Kamanari/Whatever-his-name-is-now. She pulled out the phone before feeling her frown grow.

Grandfather: Your grandmother and I are going out for the night. We will be back tomorrow evening. Do the chores and be home by sunset tomorrow night or you sleep outside.
