FireCrow Enters
"___!" Oikawa chimes coming into your room and pausing, blinking at you and the foxes. ".... Why are you two sleeping in here?" He murmurs, tilting his head and poking at you. "___, you and I are being summoned." He says when your eyes crack open, blinking at him sleepily.
"...Summoned?" You yawn in confusion.
"Yeah. I don't know why so hurry and get up." He tells you and peers at the foxes as they wake, looking at him. "You two are on cleaning duty today. And breakfast duty." He adds to the foxes before heading out.
"Whaat? Why?" Atsumu protests, taking his normal form. He gives a grumpy, half asleep pout, ears folded back.
"Probably because we were sleeping here." Osamu yawns, sitting up as he changes form. "Did you sleep well after everything?" He asks you, placing a hand on your head.
"Yeah thanks to you guys." You smile rubbing the sleep from your eye. He smiles lightly at that before getting up and stretching.
"I'll go start breakfast so hurry back." He tells you before heading out.
"Okay." You call after him before looking at Atsumu. "Your brother's going to make a great husband some day." You comment before getting out of bed and grabbing your uniform.
"What? I can cook too." Atsumu scoffs.
"I wasnt just referring to the cooking." You tell him.
"Oh yeah? What else then?" He questions, tail lashing.
"... I just decided not to tell you." You hum, going into the bathroom to change.
"What the heck ___!?" He says in annoyance.
"You're so loud." Sakusa peers in with a glare. "How much longer do you plan to stay in ___'s bed?"
"Huh? What's that? A jealous cactus?" Atsumu raises an eyebrow at him with a smug smile.
"Hah?" Sakusa's glare intensifies. You leave your bathroom, smoothing out your uniform.
"Morning Sakusa." You greet, stretching a bit.
"Good morning. You're ready early." He comments.
"Oikawa says we're being summoned to the headmaster's office." You respond, "I'll be back soon."
"Good luck." He and Atsumu say after you before giving each other annoyed looks.
You head down stairs, meeting Oikawa at the main door. "Alright, lets go." He chimes leading the way. He hums to himself as a stretches cheerfully. "Last night sucked for sleep." He murmurs.
"Yeah it kinda did." You agree.
"Ah so you agree. You should join me for extra training later." He says.
"... Getting my ass kicked by you again does not sound like fun." You deadpan, making him laugh.
"Don't be like that I wasnt even that rough the first time." He waves his hand.
"You are not helping convince me." You point out.
"But… I'll be gentle." He pouts. "Come on, train with me."
"... Sakusa comes too. He needs to make up for the day he missed." You decide.
"...." His nose wrinkles, cheeks puffing out. "Fine."
"Thanks." You beam. "I'll tell him when we get back." You reach the headmaster's office with him, pausing as two familiar faces look over. "Aone? Fu… Futakuchi? You tilt your head.
"Hm? You remember my name?" Futakuchi comments in surprise as Aone gives you a slight bow.
"You two… What's this about?" Oikawa looks to the headmaster.
"These two wish to start attendance at Raizu. They named your underclassmen so I will move them into dorm one starting tomorrow." The Headmaster answers.
"Wait… You two are still-" You look at the two students in shock.
"I was with my sister in the hospital when the attack happened. Aone is the only one of my friends that survived. Everyone else." Futakuchi falls silent, gritting his teeth before meeting your gaze. "We won't let it happen again."
Aone nods in agreement, frowning in determination. You and Oikawa share a glance at that. "Welcome to Raizu." Oikawa says as you give a bow. "What year are you guys?"
"First years." Futakuchi answers.
"Alright then ___ will give you a tour. You're welcome to attend class as well." Oikawa pats your back smiling.
"... Such a thoughtful Dorm President…" You comment before motioning for the new additions to follow you both back to the dorm.
"Raizu's small. Is there enough room for us?" Futakuchi inquire.
"Yep. And if not, we have a pair of twins that we can move into ___'s room." Oikawa pats your back again.
"You better not. I'll fight you." You send him a frown.
"And you'll lose again." He chuckles in amusement.
Returning to the dorm, you and Oikawa lead the two to the dining hall as Osamu and Atsumu pass out plates.
"Everyone, we have two new arrivals to Dorm One! Futakuchi and Aone! They've come from Okari so take them in and show them around." Oikawa informs everyone.
"Welcome!"
"___, your plate is next to Sakusa's." Osamu tells you.
"Hurry. Bokuto keeps eyeing it." Atsumu adds.
"It looks tastier than mine." Bokuto says as you sit between him and Sakusa, starting to eat while Nishinoya strikes up (or tries) a conversation with Aone and Futakuchi.
"Osamu's like… The best cook ever." You hum.
"Won't argue there." Sakusa hums. Bokuto hums, peering at your food still. You glance at him and huff, offering him a bite and making him light up, taking a bite cheerfully.
"Were you right?" You ask him.
"It is sweeter." He licks his lips, leaning his head on your shoulder.
"Think so?" You hum eating.
"Bokuto there is more food in the kitchen. Don't take ___'s food." Osamu sighs.
"I don't want to lose my seat though." Bokuto frowns.
"You're too close." Sakusa says as Bokuto puts more weight on you.
"Sorry." You tell him, leaning back against Bokuto to give Sakusa space.
"You two look like you're having fun. I'm joining in." Kuroo says, leaning on the both of your backs. You chuckle while Bokuto offers him some of your food. "Mm that's really good."
"Right? Osamu is spoiling ___!" Bokuto says.
"I am not." Osamu objects.
"What are you guys doing? Huddling up?" Oikawa asks.
"If we're huddling up I want in." Atsumu gets up.
"Class starts in ten minutes! Get going!" Iwaizumi orders.
"Yessir."
"All of you were a big help yesterday, the pros have told me they appreciated having you there." Takeda tells the class with a smile. "And thanks to having no class yesterday. I was able to find a combat hero." He adjusts his glasses with a proud smile.
"Really? So we start combat training now?" Nishinoya gasps.
"Finally." Atsumu drums on his desk with some excitement.
"He's gathered some local heroes to test you all. So get suited up, you have a very active day ahead of you."
"Yes!" Atsumu, Nishinoya and Ryuu cheer, jumping up as the suitcases are brought in.
You grab yours and head into the locker room to change. Tendo had helped you design it, so it had some elements he deemed necessary since you had spent thirty minutes staring at the blank paper with no idea what to make. In the end you were happy with how it turned out.
After changing, you head to the courses, meeting up with Akaashi and Kenma. Akaashi's hero suit seemed modeled after black ops uniforms. Kenma's suit has a white cat eared helmet with a green eyeshield, two guns mounted on his arms. "These are heavy…" Kenma mutters.
"I can make you something lighter if you want. But ammo will always be heavy." Akaashi tells him, looking you over. "You look a bit dangerous."
"Eh. My horror loving friend helped with the design." You shrug sheepishly.
"It suits you." Kenma breathes.
"Thanks. You both look good. Very heroic." You chuckle.
"Thank you." They both responds before Akaashi peers past you.
"Sakusa sure looks tough." He remarks and you look back as Sakusa approaches. He had a metal filter mask over his nose and mouth. Small metal canisters wrapped around his forearms, silver tubes run from the canisters to certain spots of his suit. He wore a black armored getup beneath the tubes, and black combat boots with spikes along the heel.
"That looks heavy…" Kenma comments quietly.
"You look so cool Sakusa." You gasp as he joins you.
"You don't look bad yourself." He responds.
"The twins picked something comfortable." Akaashi says tilting his head.
"Looks too hot." Kenma breathes as you look over to find the twins in fiery yukatas, Atsumu sporting warm colors and Osamu sporting cool colors.
"Matching suits huh?" Akaashi hums.
"Yeah. We kept fighting over the designs so Grandma picked." Atsumu admits.
"She'll be sad if we don't keep to the design." Osamu adds.
".... That's actually really cute of you guys." You smile. Osamu looks away while Atsumu huffs, pushing your face away.
"What about you? That looks like Tendo had a hand in it." Atsumu responds.
"He did! I thought it came out great too! It's like I'm taking my best friend with me." You beam.
"How sweet." Akaashi comments while Atsumu scowls.
"Wow! Everyone looks great!" Nishinoya joins them wearing a white and green shrine guardian outfit. "Ryuu looks badass too!" He adds as Ryuu comes over wearing scaly armor with ivory spikes sticking out over his shoulders and down his spine.
"I feel great! So glad we're finally wearing these!" Ryuu gasps.
"Right?" Atsumu chuckles.
"Are you all ready now?" An unfamiliar voice asks as the rest of the class joins up. Everyone looks over at the blond man, he wore black feathery armor with fiery designs that danced over it.
"Who…" Atsumu trails off.
"FireCrow!" Nishinoya bursts. "He helps run a convenience store in town.
"And he's a hero?" Osamu asks.
"The local heroes can't gain fame without an agency." FireCrow responds.
"That sucks." Atsumu comments.
"Eh. Just means I got time to help you kids out. Now lets see… You three go in the first room. Tell me your names as you go by." He says pointing to you, Akaashi and Ryuu. You introduce yourself as you enter the course. You quickly check about warily for an enemy, taking off your glove.
"Are you okay?" Akaashi inquires watching you.
"Sorry… Oikawa ambushed us the last time I went in one of these.
"That dude is mean." Ryuu comments. "But hey looks like we're all working together again." He smiles looking between you and Akaashi.
"Yes. Here, in case we get separated." Akaashi holds out his hand to you. You hold yours under his and three earpieces drop out of a circular slot in his palm. He and Ryuu takes one, putting them in their ear. You put yours in, looking over Akaashi as he reaches behind his back a rifle leaving a slot in his back. "Alright, lets begin." He murmurs, loading it with a few tranquilizers.
"... What a badass…" You and Ryuu whisper watching him.
"... I haven't done anything yet." Akaashi raises an eyebrow at both of you.
"We'll follow you anywhere." You breathe.
"Yeah. Lead the way man." Ryuu grins, scales and claws coming out.
"Alright." Akaashi says moving forward. You and Ryuu move after him, peering around as Akaashi leads the way calmly. The course's design reminds you of an old abandoned city, vines and plants growing through the concrete, overtaking buildings.
"Doesn't look like anyone's here." Ryuu mutters peering about.
"Don't let-" Akaashi breaks off as the grass patch in front of him suddenly grows, grabbing his rifle and tearing it from his grasp, tossing it away. You swipe at the grass, making it burst before it can do anything else.
"Plantmancer huh?" Ryuu says, claws lashing out as the plants grow and reach for them.
"In that case." Akaashi catches two long daggers that drop from the slots in his forearms. "You need one?" He asks you.
"Nope, my suit is equipped," You flex your left arm, blade coming out of the wrist of your suit.
"That's handy." He comments before turning about and slashing through the vegetation that rushed at him. You press your lips together briefly, looking away as Ryuu spews flames from his mouth to rid himself of the persistent plants that grabbed for him.
"You can breathe fire!?" You gasp as a shadow comes over you.
"Yeah! Look out!" He alerts you as you look over at the plant golem.
"Hi-" The plant golem suddenly swings and Akaashi pulls you out of the way. You touch the arm as it passes, making it burst.
"Oh. Sorry, I did something unnecessary." Akaashi murmurs.
"I wasn't expecting it to move so fast. So you did help." You assure. Ryuu moves forward, spewing flames at the golem.
"We need to…" Ryuu coughs up smoke. "Find the *cough* villain."
"You okay Ryuu?" You ask in concern.
"Looks like he's choking." Akaashi says looking at him. More golems form around your group. "Right… The villain… I'm going to get a better vantage point. Can you two cover me?"
"Leave it to us." You nod while Ryuu gives a thumb up as his coughing finally dies down. Akaashi nods, rushing through a pair of golems which you quickly move to burst, the green clouds covering Akaashi's departure. You and Ryuu exchange a glance, moving to face the other golems. "I got left."
"I'll take the right." Ryuu smirks and you both rush the golems. You burst through one but the other grabs your arm as Ryuu slashes through some. You use your left arm blade to free your right arm before bursting the golem.
"How are you doing Ryuu?" You ask, checking on him.
"Doing good! Can't do fire anymore unless I want to put a hole in my throat." He responds.
"Ouch! Are you sure you're alright?" You ask in concern as the remaining plants in the area start to merge.
"Yeah… Shouldnt we stop that?" He points at the golem.
"I kinda want to fight it though. Be better than a bunch of little ones again." You shrug.
"Good point." Ryuu agrees as you both move closer to each other.
'I got visual on the villain. Going to take the shot.' Akaashi sounds in your ear.
"Go for it." You smile, raising your arm as the golem swings at you and Ryuu. You burst the arm as it suddenly stops.
"Akaashi is awesome." Ryuu comments as the golem falls apart.
"Right? He gives off that cool pro vibe." You nod in agreement.
'I can hear you…' Akaashi murmurs.
"We're being honest. Where is the villain? We should tie 'm up right?" Ryuu asks.
'I just shot a net at him. He's on the other side of the convenience store near you two.' Akaashi says. You and Ryuu quickly move around the corner to find the enemy wrapped up in a metal net.
"Talk about a bad matchup with us huh?" Ryuu comments as you both lean over the guy.
"You're right." The guy coughs, making you both freeze. "But I haven't lost… Activate, Ground Zero." He smiles, tree branches and briar bursting off of him, smashing you through a wall. You're pinned to another wall, tree branches pinning both arms.
'___! Ryuu! Are you okay?!' Akaashi asks quickly.
"Ow." You cough, felt like you had a few gashes, back aching.
"That was our bad." Ryuu's voice sounds on the other side of the thicket.
"Ah… That's all I got. Can't move anymore." The other guy says.
"Well, feels like you won here." You comment.
"Yeah. I've learned that lesson." Ryuu agrees. "Don't suppose you can get these plants off of us."
"No… I need to move my fingers for that." He responds groggy.
"... Think he's finally out." You remark, trying to move your hand.
"I'm here." Akaashi calls, hacking through the branches and greenery. "I'm sorry, I should've made sure he was out first." He adds as he frees you.
"It's okay. We'll be more careful ourselves next time." You assure, bursting through the plants to find Ryuu and free him.
"True that…" Ryuu looks down at his thigh, blood pouring from a puncture. "... Ow…"
"I have first aid, ___, finish clearing up this mess. Our villain is buried." Akaashi tells you.
"On it boss." You respond, clearing the green. You reach the man at the center, looking him over warily. "Uh… That last attack he did destroyed his clothes." You call.
"...You can't make clothes can you?" Ryuu looks to Akaashi, as he looks back at you.
"Only guns and electronics I'm afraid…" Akaashi responds.
"Well, he ain't getting my clothes." Ryuu says.
"I have nothing to offer either. But maybe he can make himself a grass skirt when he wakes up?" You look back, rubbing your neck.
"I really hope so." Akaashi breathes.
"Can we go now? We did win… Right?" Ryuu asks.
"Yeah. Lets get you healed up." You move under one of his arms to support him.
"I'm going to get a hug from Kiyoko~" He sings quietly as you and Akaashi help him back to the door.
"Guess that is the upside to getting hurt." You chuckle.
"Right?" Ryuu grins while Akaashi huffs, shaking his head with some amusement.
"Please be more careful." Akaashi sighs as all of you leave the course.
"Huh? Shimada's down already too?" FireCrow gasps looking over from Sakusa, Nishinoya, and Atsumu's group.
"Whoa! You two look rough!" Nishinoya gasps coming over.
"You need to get those cuts tended soon." Sakusa tells you.
"You guys won already? You're not hurt?" Ryuu huffs. Nishinoya and Atsumu point at Sakusa.
"We didn't even get five feet in and gassed the area." Atsumu says. "The guy we were up against was paralyzed in a minute. Then Mr. Cautious here surrounded the poor guy with traps."
"I didn't want him to attack us while we were leaving…" Sakusa says simply.
"I thought it was awesome." Nishinoya chuckles. "But I wish I could've fought."
"I'm going to have to adjust the rules on the next combat challenges…" FireCrow mutters.
"So you didn't even fight…" You frown slightly.
"Fighting is my second defense. I won't waste energy on weak opponents." Sakusa scoffs.
"Of course. I understand." You say, looking to the side.
"I just saw 'boring' go across your face." Atsumu points at you. Sakusa shifts, straightening up before turning to FireCrow.
"Switch up the teams and send us back in." He requests in annoyance.
"Sure." FireCrow says in surprise. "In that case I'll just go with teams of two." He points between you and Sakusa. "You'll be the first up. That course, lets see how you deal with Takinoue."
"Alright. Nishinoya can you take my spot here and help Ryuu to find Kiyoko?" You ask.
"Yes!" Nishinoya says going to help Ryuu as you move after Sakusa, grinning excitedly.
"Someone seems awfully happy about their pairing." Atsumu comments loudly. Sakusa glares back at him while you ignore him bouncing slightly. The door opens and Kenma, Osamu, and Kinoshita stumble out, bruises and burns marking their skin.
"Osamu! Kenma! Are you guys okay?!" You gasp, catching Osamu.
".. We lost." Osamu sighs, grabbing Kenma as he falls forward.
"Almost died." Kenma wheezes.
"Go get healed up- Atsumu help your brother!" You tell him. Osamu grips you for a moment, looking at your face.
"Be careful." He breathes.
"Okay." You touch his back as he is helped away by his brother. You swallow, exchanging a glance with Sakusa before going into the course. A dark city street with a few empty cars sitting about. You peer around warily, taking off your glove.
Sakusa quietly takes a canister from his arm, tossing it up a few times before clicking a button on it and throwing it down the street. The canister spins, releasing a yellowish gas. Sakusa turns to you, taking out a small gas mask and putting it on you as a holler sounds from an alley that the gas had creeped into. You both look toward the sound before entering the building next to the alley.
You both stop at a wall, coughing can be heard on the other side. Trying to pinpoint the location, you move to a certain spot. You glance at Sakusa and he gives a nod. You press your hand to the wall, bursting a hole through it. Sakusa moves through swiftly and you hesitate, peering through the particles, narrowly dodging Sakusa as he's tossed back through the hole, lightning flickering after him.
"Lightning?" You breathe as Sakusa jerks before jumping up and scooping you up and moving out of the way as a small column of lightning burst through the hole.
"I do not like doing things your way." Sakusa says bluntly, setting you down and looking around.
"Well, my strategy isn't good against a freaking lightning quirk, so go ahead and do yours." You respond.
"Oooh no. My way is boring, remember? So now we're going to do it your way." He shakes his head.
"... You're being very spiteful right now." You comment as you both move out of the building. "What was that gas anyway?"
"I'm just doing what you wanted… It was a pain gas. Inhale and the toxins will cause pain in random points of the body. Thus making it easier to fight the target." He answers as you move away from the building. Lightning strikes a car nearby, making you jump and look over as the blond comes out of the alley.
"Where ya going? Thought you wanted to pick a fight." He smirks, pointing a finger at you. Sakusa pulls you behind the car as you instinctively raise your right hand as lightning flashes out, striking your hand.
"___? You okay?" Sakusa freezes, both of you look at your hand as it becomes fuzzy, moving about in odd ways.
"Its… Trying to separate." You gasp, grabbing it in a panic and making it solidify. "I-I don't like this Sakusa." You stammer, shaking your head frantically, tearing up. He freezes, eyes widening before firing a canister at the enemy. A bolt of lightning hits it making it explode, Sakusa sends up a few more obscuring the area in gas.
"I'll end this now." Sakusa says walking into the smoke. There's the sound of struggling before silence. "We're done here, he won't move for an hour." He states, walking back out of the smoke. You look up at him, still gripping your right hand with an uneasy expression. He meets your gaze before changing gloves and holding a hand out to you, looking away. "Stand up ___, you're okay."
Taking his hand with your left hand, you get up, subconsciously returning your grip to your left hand as you follow him out.
"Ehh? Takinoue too?" FireCrow gasps in shock.
"If that's it. Can we leave now?" Sakusa questions.
"Uh, sure. Good job, I'll look over the footage later so we can get to actual training next time." FireCrow says, waving you two off. You both separate at the locker rooms and change before starting back to the dorms together.
"... At least we're done for the day." Sakusa comments, glancing at you.
"Yeah…" You breathe distractedly.
"Your hand is fine now ___, you're not going to disappear…." He tells you lightly, making you flinch.
"Ah… You're right…" You say sheepishly, trying to smile. His brows knit together and he peers about.
"Um… Call Tendo when you get back to your room." He says finally.
"Why wait? Call me now." A familiar voice chimes behind you as you reach the dorm doors. You and Sakusa look back in surprise as Tendo tilts his head blinking at you before his smile falls a bit, opening his arms. Like a magnet you find yourself instinctively hugging him back. "Bad match up?" He guesses, peering at Sakusa.
"Yes." Sakusa nods, "A lightning quirk hit the right hand and it… Tried to burst…" He informs and you wince at the thought, clenching your right hand tighter.
"Huh?" Tendo's eyes widen and pulls away, looking at your hand in surprise. "That's new…" He mutters, pulling a pair of black gloves from his hoodie pocket and putting them on. He then takes your right hand, observing it carefully. "Nope all there." He high-fives it, not even blinking with some black leaves the glove.
"Careful Tendo." You frown. He just hums, proceeding to check your arms, then your legs. He lifts the front of your shirt a little to check your stomach but you quickly stop him. "Tendo!" You scold, pink kissing your cheeks. He chuckles at you before hugging you and patting your back, giving a hum before pulling away to tug your ears gently. His eyes scan over your face before cupping it in his hands.
"Looks like you're all in one piece ___." He says thoughtfully. "Good thing too. I don't know how to go about collecting your pieces but eventually I would've done it." He smiles cutely.
You blink at him and relax, chuckling a bit at him. "Good to know. Thanks for double checking."
"I couldn't check everything though." He shakes his head and you blush, pushing his face away and making him laugh.
"Tendo…" You sigh.
"You must've been freaked out. I'm glad Sakusa got you out of there." He comments.
"Yeah. He looked pretty startled when I almost started crying." You admit rubbing your neck.
"I did what I had to… To escape that situation." Sakusa says, looking to the side.
"Aww. Were you worried about ___, 'Omi?" Tendo teases lightly.
"Nope." Sakusa responds, suddenly going inside.
"Hey, its Tendo. Come to see ___?" Atsumu greets, joining you with Osamu. You peer at Osamu, touching his arm and tilting your head. Osamu meets your gaze and gives a thumbs up with a nod.
"Good to see you, ___'s little fox friend." Tendo chuckles. Atsumu pauses and looks at you.
"Do you tell him everything?" He huffs.
"Absolutely." You nod.
"Thats what best friends are for. To judge each others new friends when we're told about them." Tendo hums. "Oh right! There's some people that came with me to meet you!" He tells you suddenly.
"Me?" You tilt your head as he takes your arm, cheerfully heading into the dorms. Aone, Futakuchi, Iwaizumi, and Oikawa were chatting with a pair of newcomers.
"I found ___!" Tendo chimes, getting the group's attention. "___, that's Semi, and thats Reon." Tendo points to them cheerfully.
"Ah. So you're the person Tendo is always gushing over." Semi offers a hand with a light smile.
"Nice to meet you." Rein nods.
"Gushes over me huh?" You send Tendo a glance. He just hides his face bashfully, waving you off with the other. "Ugh… Cute." You sigh, putting a hand over your face.
"Why thank you!" He chuckles putting his hands behind his head. "Anyway. Since you're done with class early. Lets go on a date."
"Huh?" Atsumu and Osamu look at him with darkened faces.
"Ooo special place right?" You light up.
"That's right." He smiles.
"Wait! We just met ___! You can't just go on a date now!" Semi objects.
"Yes we can. ___'s had a bad day so we're going." Tendo says a matter of factly before looking at you. "Go change."
"Okay." You hum hurrying upstairs.
"Do you two go on dates often?" Atsumu asks.
"Sure. Whenever there's a new place I want to show ___. Actually that one day you came with us on a date." Tendo holds up a finger, stunning Atsumu.
"Eh? But you just got food and read jump!?" Atsumu objects.
"Who said dates had to be romantic?" Tendo shrugs.
"The definition." Sakusa says bluntly.
"It does? I just like calling it a date. Its straight to the point even if the meaning is wrong." Tendo hums, leaning to the side, with his hands behind his head. Amusement was apparent on his face as he peers about at the others. "So you guys don't gotta get all jealous and flustered."
"Jealous? No." Atsumu and Oikawa scoff.
"I'm not flustered… You?" Osamu glances at Sakusa.
"Nope." Sakusa hums.
"You know, people that jump to defend themselves when there's not much of an accusation are usually guilty." Tendo snickers, receiving looks from them.
"Tendo. I'm bringing my backpack." You say coming back and peering about. "Huh? You guys wanna fight?" You question the guys, catching the looks they were giving Tendo.
"Nope."
