Chapter 9


Third Person POV

Naoshi composed himself and stopped gaping. He blinked as Agni slowly lowered his body and sat on the ground. Agni looked at him and nodded his head and Naoshi walked towards him.

"What the actual fuck, man." Bakugo whispered as he grabbed both his husband and slowly back away from them to talk with each

"Hey, Agni looks like that thing." He whispered towards them. Midoriya bit his lips while Todoroki had an unreadable expression on his face.

"Shit, Deku they're...I don't know if they're really dangerous but..." Bakugo bit his lips and sighed. "But they're a victim, we...we should keep them under our wings still." Bakugo said as he sighed. Todoroki glances at Agni who was being examined by Naoshi. The doctor looked at him with amazement as he caressed Agni's beak.

"That explains their wound then..." Midoriya muttered, "We only saw them escape but we never saw them getting injured in that video." He said.

"Maybe someone tampered it." Todoroki suggested. "And the CCTV in that area was melted by the flame."

"No matter what, we will still keep them safe." Midoriya said as they glanced towards them. Agni had their kids under his wings, giggling and snickering as they watched Naoshi check his legs. Agni bumped Naoshi's body slightly with his head and opened his wings to let the kids out.

"Yeah, we better do that." Bakugo said and sighed. They walk closer with their step having a little hesitance. Agni looked towards them and cooed.

"Holy shit, holy shit..." Bakugo muttered as he stared wide eyed, both frightened and amazed by his size.

"You're okay now, Agni." Naoshi said as he patted his neck.

"Thanks, Naoshi-san." Agni said.

"Okay, you're next, Amaris-chan." Naoshi said. Amaris got up as she stretched her arms and changed into a dual colored enormous fox. Her black fur is a little wispy as if some parts of her fur are smoke. Her white fur glows so much, they fear that they will get blind just by staring too long.

"Woah, your enormous size is even more impressive." Setsu said as she walked towards Amaris. The teen's twin tail swishes as she bow her head and allow Setsu to caress her.

"That's so cool." Midoriya muttered as he walked towards her too. Naoshi got there first as Amaris sat on her side to let him examine her wound.

"She's the fox who has that shadow fur, or something like that?" Bakugo asked. Todoroki nodded.

"It seems so." He said as they heard Agni ruffle his feathers. They looked towards him and gape when he started shrinking.

"Ag..ni?" Todoroki uttered in shock as they looked down at Agni who was small like a puppy. Bakugo slowly approached him as he crouched down.

"What kinda sorcery..." Bakugo exasperated as he slowly patted Agni's head. "So soft." He muttered and gasped. Agni laughed as Bakugo caressed his wings and head.

'To think that this child is the one who burned that truck.' Todoroki thought as he smirked at Bakugo's rare happy expression and Agni's giggling.

"I feel restricted, Naoshi-san." Amaris said as Naoshi examined her. Setsu was a constant buzz of nervousness behind Naoshi.

"I might remove it and do a rapid healing." Naoshi said, "Do you want to?" He asked.

"Er..maybe sometime." Amaris said, Naoshi nodded in understanding.

"Thanks, child." Naoshi said and chuckled. He got up and walked towards Aouli to see him seated with Mizuki comforting him.

"You good, Aouli-kun?" He asked. Aouli clench his fist and sighed.

"I'm...ready." He muttered. Naoshi smiled and let him transform.

Mizuki stood beside Naoshi as Aouli anxiously looked on the ground. Amaris saw him and started shrinking. When she shrunk to the size of a puppy, she ran towards Aouli and circled him, her tails wrapping and head caressing his legs. Aouli smiled and let Amaris bump her head on his leg then leap towards the doctor and Mizuki to let him have some space.

Aouli started transforming, his size grew as he raised his wings and flapped them. Mist surrounded him as he screeched anxiously.

"Okay, I'm gonna be quick." Naoshi said as he closed his distance with Aouli. His feathers bristled but he stopped himself from taking a step back and let Naoshi put his hand on his body.

"There, there." Naoshi whispered as he fell his wings. He didn't feel any broken bones nor any bumps and hummed in satisfaction.

"No sign of injuries," Naoshi said as Aouli sighed, "Do you feel sore?" He asked.

"Yeah, all over my body. My wings aren't that sore, though." Aouli said as he started calming down. Naoshi smiled and patted his back.

"That's good." He said. Aouli thanked him as he shrunk in size while still laying on his sides. Naoshi scooped him from the ground and gave him to Todoroki. Mizuki looked at Aouli curled on Todoroki's arms.

"Okay, They're alright. A little sore and restricted but good." Naoshi said. The adults each carry the teens shapeshifting form as their kids curiously look at them.

"Thanks, Naoshi-sensei." Midoriya said and Amaris, who was in his arms, yipp and thanked him too.

"If you need some love advice, Naoshi-sensei, call us!" Agni yelled, making his siblings laugh, yip and chirp. Naoshi's face was heated and red. Bakugo snickered, the same as Agni who was in his arms.

"Goddamn, child, okay I will." Naoshi agreed as his face became hotter than before. He gritted his teeth as he brushed his hair off his face. They even laughed more.

"Good luck on your date, Naoshi-sensei." Todoroki said and smiled.

"Ohhh! Introduce him to us!" Katsumi yelled.

"It's Ichinose-san, Katsumi, you know our executive." Midoriya said as she ruffled her hair. Katsumi giggled.

"The four eyes?" She asked.

"Yeah, him." Mizuki replied and chuckled.

"Hey, Naoshi-san, sorry 'bout them." Setsu said but she can hide her teasing grin.

"Shush, Setsu-chan..." Naoshi pleaded and sighed, "Okay, I'm out of here and go to my date already." He grumbled as he walked past them and grabbed his things. The family followed him to the door and bid goodbye.

"Take care, children, 'kay?" He asked as he managed to wear his shoes. "No more pushing yourself to your limit."

"Okay!" They said in chorus as they bid their farewell.

They soon rest in the living room. The kids, feeling their exhausted bodies, had slept on the couches. The adults smiled as they lay the teens beside them and sat across.

The remaining time of the day was spent in peaceful time and leisure. With the adults managing to talk with Katsumi about her recent bad day and hugging it out, the teens had lazed around in the living room while Mizuki and Setsu did the same thing.

Todoroki's POV

We were a little hesitant to talk to the teens about our knowledge on their escape, but it's much more reassuring to tell them early than keep it a secret.

It was night and we asked them to talk with us in the living room while the children slept early. Izuku lays the folder on the coffee table as Katsuki taps his feet on the ground.

"Is this a good idea?" Katsuki muttered as he bit his lips.

"Don't worry too much, Kacchan." Izuku said as he sat beside him. I went and sat at Katsuki's left.

"It's going to be fine." I said curtly as I clench my sweating hands. They arrived and sat across us, having a confused face and trying to be comfortable.

"Uhm...what are we gonna talk about?" Amaris asked first. We looked at each other and became serious.

"We...are currently investigating the incident that happened in this neighborhood last Sunday." Izuku started. "And we're trying to find the victims." We looked at them to see them rigid and frozen on the spot. I feel so bad, they didn't do anything wrong, they just defended their own safety against the person who was transporting them.

"Are you going to arrest them?" Aouli asked while his hands trembled. I shook my head.

"No, no. We will not do that." I replied. Katsuki sighed beside me and leaned forward.

"You don't need to be afraid, " He started, "We are not some scum villain that will just do whatever we please to you." He said as he opened the files.

"We called you here because we want to tell you that we found out about your identity when you transformed a while ago." He said. The children looked anxious, they didn't dare to gaze at us in the eye and stare at the papers Katsuki was spreading on the table.

"It's going to be hard to accept that we found out soon but please remember that we wouldn't be of any threat to you." Izuku said as he smiled softly to reassure them. "We will do everything just to keep you safe from them." He added. Izuku's words are genuine and true, we will keep them safe.

Amaris bowed her head as she sighed in relief and whispered her thanks. Agni patted her back while Aouli was more affected by the reassurance as he slumped on the sofa and sighed.

"We're very grateful really." Amaris spoke and smiled. "Thank you, thank you...I'm sorry we doubted you..." She said.

"It's alright, Amaris." I said. She smiled widely and bowed her head.

"Thank you so much..." She beamed.

"I'm sorry you had to see what I've done to the vehicle and the driver." Agni said with his eyes not looking at their reactions as his face heated up.

"I'm always pissed at certain people who smelled nasty sometimes. When I smell it off at someone, I know they are not to be trusted because they have hidden intentions." Agni said as he fiddled with his fingers. "The driver was one of them, that's why I burned it. He's not a human, though, it was one of her disgusting 'Children'." He said, and seethes. His statement made us curious.

"Her? Who is she?" Katsuki asked. They looked at each other as they had a disappointed expression.

"We cannot tell you her name." Amaris said.

"Just saying it will make me cry." Aouli said as he shivered.

"We can't say it because she did something that wouldn't let us at all." Agni elaborated.

"Can you write it?" Izuku asked. They looked at each other as if remembering if they had done it.

"No...I guess." Amaris said, "Maybe, we can try?"

Izuku fetches some blank paper and a pen. Amaris hesitated at first but he started writing it in roman alphabet.

"Lillith?" Katsuki muttered out loud. The teens looked at him with wide eyes as they slowly nodded.

"Huh, weak ass name." Katsuki gibed. The teens stiffened but didn't stop him. Izuku hushed him as he got the attention of the teens.

"Is this her name or the one she is known to be?" He asked.

"I guess it's like her title..." Aouli said in a small voice. Midoriya smiled grimly as he thanked him.

Amaris had a serious look as she began to speak. "I wish we could tell you what she can do." She said as she had a far away look, then looked at us with resolve. "However, we could ask someone that we know who can 'project' our memories of her." She said as she remembered distant memories, adopting a faraway look.

"Oya~? You mean him Nee-san?" Aouli asked and chuckled. His ears flap as he has a bittersweet smile. Amaris smiled and nodded.

"Yeah." She said.

"Who is he?" Izuku asked.

"His name is Amos Nobunaga." Amaris said, "He was our producer and manager in our band." We were surprised at her revelations.

"You have a band?" Katsuki asked in shock. Agni nodded.

"Yes, it's called Behind The Mask." He replied.

"We were scouted by him when we were 13 years old. I guess he saw potential at us." Amaris started.

"He became sort of like a supportive grandfather, enhancing our talents with his projection quirk and making us discover some of our skills. He's a big help to our new band, encouraging us to have fun and let our music out as we gather both haters and supporters." Amaris said.

"We...didn't really manage to have one last goodbye because of what happened to our family because of her. I don't know if he was still in America or his location in particular to this day." Amaris stated. We nodded solemnly as we let her talk again.

"If we could locate Mr. Amos, then information about her from inside our memories will be leaked." She said, her eyes brimmed with hope. "And, we can defeat her..." Amaris stopped talking as she looked down and clenched her fist.

"We...you could defeat her...right?" She asked in a thin voice. Her other siblings are silent as they hang the question in the air.

"Of course!" Katsuki said, cutting the tense atmosphere.

"We will do everything to defeat her!" He yelled and laughed. The teens looked like they were near in tears.

"We assure you, we will save you guys from her clutches. No matter what." Izuku said and smiled.

"We are heroes, that's what we do." I said and smiled. They gave us teary smiles and nodded.

"Thank you." They muttered and cried. Their ears are droopy as they start changing and leaping and flying at us in their puppy size transformation.

"Woah?! Agni, what the fuck?!" Katsuki said as he was surprised when Agni snuggled on his neck and sighed in relief, then started purring. Katsuki groaned but he can't help but pat his head and sighed in defeat.

Aouli was already on my lap, he was vibrating and chirping as I caressed his feathers that were tucked.

Amaris yipped and snuggled her face on Izuku's neck, making him giggle as he carried her.

"Should we stay like this until sunrise?" Izuku joked and chuckled.

"Why not?" I said as I scratched just under his cheeks and Aouli purred loudly. It made me chuckle a little and do it again.

_Meanwhile, we got some kids listening to there conversation_

Setsu's POV

I almost started to cry as I listened to their conversation. It seems that Amaris-san and her brothers talk with our fathers. I never knew how much they had to go through considering that never even got to say goodbye to people they are close with. Mizuki then tugs on my shirt. I looked at him and saw that he was on the verge of tears and yet he had a bittersweet smile.

"Onee-san......That means they can stay some more." He whispered yelled as he cried some more. We don't have to say goodbye yet. Katsumi hugged my stomach as she looked up to me.

"Agni-sama will stay and do awesome things!" Katsumi said as her eyes showed her excitement. I nodded.

"Yeah, they're gonna stay." I said as I brushed my tears away and smiled.


_Meanwhile outside the house_

Lillith's POV

"WHO THE FUCK DO THEY THINK THEY ARE?!!?? FIRST DISCRIMINATING AND DIRTYING MY NAME?!?!! THEN HUG "MY" TOYS?!?!?" I scream in my head as I place my hand on the cold glass pain.

I can hear my child growl near my ear "Master......." It said. "Should I call back up and take them down?" I thought for a bit, as much as I want to murder them right now, I knew that it wouldn't bring the satisfaction I wanted.

"Not yet darling~" I cooed, "It's not the right time yet to make them suffer." I scratch my baby behind the ears. it growled facing the window and watching the three snuggle my prize possession. I can feel the irritation and fury in me, but I manage to wrestle it down to a trickle. I gritted my teeth and bang the window with my hands, scratching it with my nails and hissing at them.

One of them turned their attention and faced towards the window I disappeared into the dark right on time. This is not the time to make my grand entrance, that time will come and when it does, I will make sure to bring pain to this cursed family who stole what rightfully belongs to me.
