Chapter 8
~(Y/N)'s POV~
I stood in the League bar as Kurogiri gave me an approving nod. Shoto smirked, ruffling my hair. "You look great (Y/N)." Shoto said. I nodded slightly fiddling with the zipper on my coat. They had managed to regain some of my old clothes and got me some new ones. I was wearing a black v-neck with a coat that has (F/C) fur on the hood and sleeves with a spiked choker and blue genes. There was also a utility belt with many forms of weapons, bombs, and other equipment. The scar over my left eye that went down my neck to my left shoulder was more visible now. My (H/C) hair unkempt and needing to be brushed out while my blood red eyes scanned the bar area. "Thanks." I muttered. "What? Hell Hound got cold feet?" Shigaraki asked. I shot him a glare, my eyes glowing red. "Oi, don't forget who kicked your a*s with her eyes closed." I hissed with a smirk. He shut up instantly. "She'll get the hang of it fast." Kurogiri said, sweatdropping. "So anyways, (Y/N), we should probably change your alias for safety r-." "Nah. I think I'll keep Alpha." I said. "Why?" Kurogiri asked. I shrugged lazily. "Well I mean, if I HAVE to join your rag tag bunch of criminals, then I'm keeping that name. Call it a declaration of sorts. Because now, whenever a hero hears the name Alpha, they're talking about an enemy now. Instead of an ally. A painful reminder that they failed." I said. "D*mn. You sure you weren't a villain before this?" Shigaraki asked. Shoto shrugged. "Well I mean, she does have blood on her hands." He pointed out. I tensed up. "Can we not talk about that?" I asked. All three males shot me looks before nodding. Shoto nudged my shoulder a bit before leaning closer. "You're going to have to kill again (Y/N). I'd mentally prepare myself for that if I were you." He cautioned. I nodded a bit.
"Alright (Y/N). So first things first, Sports Festival. We're sending you back in there as a spy for us." Shoto said. My eyes widened. "W-w-wait a minute what!?" I shouted. "Yep. During the Sports Festival I want you to pay attention to everyone's Quirks. Scout people that we may want to kidnap and turn to our side." Shigaraki explained. I took a deep breath, calming my nerves and the growing sickness in my stomach. "I can do it." I stated firmly. "Good. Now then, we think some extra training is an order-" "That won't be necessary." Shoto said, cutting off Shigaraki. "Keep in mind what she's been doing here for almost the entire month. Training to pass the time." He reminded. Everyone slowly looked back at me. "What? I'm not just gonna sit around bored all day. There was a training room right there." I said with a shrug. "Anyways, there is one form of training that I want to work on, but I need to be surrounded by nature for that. Kurogiri, do you know any places? Secluded of course." I asked. Kurogiri nodded. "I know a place, but Shoto will be required to go with you." He said. "That's fine. I'm used to the b*stard watching over my shoulder while I work." I grumbled. Shigaraki snickered, elbowing the duel Quirk user only to get a punch to the gut. "Let's go then." Shoto said. I snickered at Shigaraki. "Your pain is hilarious. Let's go." I agreed. Kurogiri opened a portal for us and we walked in. Once on the other side I looked around, scanning the area. It was a small clearing in the middle of a forest from the looks of things. Trees on any other side of me. I slowly sat down in the center of the clearing and let my fingers dig into the dirt under me. Slowly breathing out I expanded my senses as far as I could stretch them. Trying to hear every sound in the forest, every breath, every twig snap, every rustle, even the smallest worms in the ground. I tried to pick up on all the auras in the area. From the smallest insect to the largest buck or bear. And even...the male standing behind me.
I reached out, bushing my aura with his, and I could sense him flinch a little. "(Y/N)?" He questioned. I found myself breathing in, taking in all the scents and sounds, taste everything that was in the air, feel and sense every creature and shred of life. I breathed out again, fully releasing my aura. I could sense Todoroki perfectly now, see him clearly in my mind's eye. He started to move closer to my left side. "You're moving to my left side." I muttered. He stopped, before backing away. "You just backed down." I said. In my mind's eye I saw him raise an eyebrow. "You just raised your eyebrow in confusion...ah...you're holding up three fingers....one...all five....seven now....ten....five....six.....eight....four....two....one....none." I opened my eyes and turned around, Todoroki giving me a shocked look. I smirked. "And this...is what happens when you weaponize your aura." I said, sending a wave at him that knocked him backwards onto his a*s. He stared at me in both confusion and slight amazement as the wind calmly swept through the clearing. I bared my fangs in a snarl as my aura started pressing in around him. "Do you feel that?" I questioned. "Do you feel any fear at the fact I can do this?" I asked, my snarl turning into a twisted fanged smirk.
"Do you truly not see a monster sitting in front of you?"
He was quiet, but unflinching as my aura closed in around him. "I see no monster..." He said quietly. My eyes widened and my aura let up ever so slightly. He looked me dead in the eyes. "I see a beautiful and breathtaking girl. Who's strong and powerful. But not a monster." He said firmly. I was quiet before containing my aura again and turning away from him. "You're a liar..." I lied. He slowly moved closer and sat next to me. "I'm not lying (Y/N)..." He said. I looked away from him only for him to pet me a little. "People that call you a monster, have no idea who the person behind the hound is....and they're fools because of it." He said. He lightly tilted my head so I was looking at him as he leaned in. "You're no Alpha to me....you're (Y/N)....and you're absolutely stunning..." He breathed, slowly leaning closer. His lips brushed mine lightly before I pushed him away in a panic with a number of small squeaks. I quickly covered my face to hide the massive blush forming on my face. WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE SEVEN HELLS IS GOING ON WITH ME!? I shouted mentally. Todoroki was frozen, seeming to almost be as shocked at his actions as I was. He then chuckled a bit, seeming to be ignoring the blush on his face as well. "I apologize for that (Y/N). That was uncalled for." He said. He stood up, turning away and walking to the outer edge of the clearing. "I'll leave you to your training." He said.
~Todoroki's POV~
WHAT THE F*CK DID I JUST DO!?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!? WHY DID SHE LOOK SO-SO-! UGGGHHH WHAT EVEN ARE WORDS!?
oH nO sHe'S hOt!!!!
Someone save my soul....
THIS GIRL WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME!!!!
GOD TOOK BOTH HOT AND CUTE AND PUT IT IN THE MIXING BOWL AND THIS IS THE RESULT!!!!
I WANT TO RAM MY HEAD INTO A TREE!
I WAS SO CLOSE TO KISSING HER!
Well I mean I can't deny the first time was pretty nice...
SHUT UP YOU FOOL!
Am I in love with a hell hound?
LOVE IS A LIE!
Is it though....?
I still kinda want to kiss her...
That look in her eyes back there when she was doing the thing with her aura....
The picture of (Y/N), teeth bared in a smirk flashed back into my mind. Her eyes that dark glowing shade of hellish fire red, her (H/C) hair waving as the wind stirred around her. I felt her aura when it was closing in around me, putting pressure on me but not suffocating me. I learned....no....I felt so much about her in that moment. Her anger, her rage, what she's suffered through growing up, her feelings deep down, the kindness she hides away. I felt every shred of remorse she felt, everything she's ever felt guilty over, her need to protect and be stronger than everyone around her. Her ambition, her passions, her strengths, and every weakness that she had. Every pain she's felt...emotional or physical....all of it condensed into that powerful aura...
I turned around, looking at (Y/N) who was back in her previous position, hands on the ground, eyes closed, senses attentive. I could feel her aura spreading out into the area again. And once I felt it reach me I muttered quietly. "I felt your aura...I felt what you felt...you really are amazing (Y/N)....how much you hide from everyone else...and how much you just want to protect....I felt everything...." (Y/N)'s eyes snapped open to look at me. I turned away quickly, trying to hide my blush. "Sorry. I'll....I'll shut up now." I said. "You were able to feel...my aura...?" She asked. I slowly nodded. I noticed her shifting into Omega form and suddenly she was sitting in front of me. "Sit in the center of the clearing where I was." She growled. I did as she said, knowing that I probably shouldn't test her after what I did or...almost did.
She nudged my hand onto the ground. "Close your eyes, and tell me what you feel under you." She said. I slowly let my eyes drift shut and focused on the feeling of the grass. "I feel...the grass...its slightly damp from morning dew..." I slowly pushed my hand into the dirt. "I can feel the dirt...its shifting under me slowly..." I muttered. "Expand all your senses. Tell me everything you can hear...feel...taste...smell...see without sight. Stretch them out as far as you can. Listen closely to everything around you, feel the way the ground moves under you, taste the air as you breath in and out, smell even the smallest scents, but don't open your eyes..." She said. "Relax...let them expand and wander...don't try to control it....just relax." I breathed in slowly before breathing out, opening all of my senses but my eyes. "I can hear...birds...animals...the wind...the threes and the leaves....I can smell the scents of the forest....the slight scent of water in the air...its making it damp a little...I can smell pine...cedar...and oak....I feel the ground slowly shifting....I feel the breeze on my face and the light of the sun warming my body...." I slowly breathed in. "I can taste the scents on the air...is that weird...?" I asked. "No...it's perfectly normal....now tell me something...without opening your eyes....what do you see around you." She asked. It was as if something clicked, and I could see a vivid picture of the clearing around me, and (Y/N) next to me. She was sitting calmly in her Omega form. Her head tilted to one side in a cute manor. I smiled a little. "You look cute with your head tilted like that." I said. Her head seemed to straighten up in a more focused expression. She flicked her tail to the left. "You just flicked your tail to the left." I said. She stood up and flicked her tail to the right. "You stood up and flicked your tail to the right." I said. She smirked a little. "You can open your eyes now." She said.
The minute I opened my eyes everything fell back to what it is before. I couldn't hear the dew caught on the leaves dropping into the puddle it had started to form. I couldn't hear (Y/N)'s breathing anymore. I looked over at her as she dipped her head to me slightly. "I stay true to my word. You defeated me, so I'm part of your pack now. What I just showed you, is how I train my aura. Next time, envision something around you and then slowly envision it expanding. This is a form of meditation. And its how one would otherwise weaponize their aura. This is a token of my loyalty and respect. However, please keep this a secret between us." She said. I nodded, reaching over and petting her a bit. "No need for bowing your head (Y/N)...if anything I see you as an equal. Thanks for showing me this." I said. She nodded a little.
"...Stop petting me Todoroki, you're really testing my patience today..." She growled. I retracted my hand with a small chuckle and sweatdrop. "Sorry." I said.
