Skull's Hero Academia

Heart Warming Gifts

A.N: So.... This chapter is kind of emotional. I will admit that I teared up during the first few sentences. T^T

And I think I want to go with eventual Skull x Shinso, but Shinso was also someone who was reborn into a new life so he and Skull are both physically and mentally the same age. I don't know whether to just make him some random person from KHR or a character from a different anime. If you have any suggestions as to who Shinso should have been, please comment and let me know!

Also, I already decided that Yuni will be reborn and I have figured out who she will be. Same with Byakuran.(I might change that though)

Thank you all so much! ^^

There, sitting in the box Kawahira gave me, was Oodako. I felt my heart swell. My baby. My partner. She was here with me now. And all felt right in the world.

Oodako and I have always had a strong connection. She always helped me and did what was best for me. Even if I didn't want help.

Tears left my eyes as I gently picked her up and held her close to my chest, afraid to let go.

I couldn't help but sob as I hugged her. I missed her so much. Words could not even begin to describe the pain I felt from being ripped away from my animal partner.

I gave Kawahira a weak smile. "Thank you. I... I missed her so much. I really can't explain how grateful I am."

He smiled back at me. "There is more. Your Inko has been telling me how you want to be a hero, so I have some things that will help you."

More boxes were set in front of me. I grab a small one and set it in my lap.

I slowly opened it and was surprised.

"Is-is this a box weapon?" I look at him questioningly.

"Yes. There are a few of them. Each one having a different weapon and box design. The one you are holding has tonfas." The box was a light purple with a small Vongola crest in the corner of each side. There was also a pair of tonfas painted on one of them.

Another box was the same, except slightly darker purple and a pair of handcuffs instead of tonfas. "I essentially re-created Vongola's Cloud Box Weapons and made them more suitable to this world. For example, the handcuffs can cancel out quirks. Meaning it would be easy to take down a villain with them. That one," He pointed to a darker purple one with a motorcycle painted on it. "Has an exact replica of your motorcycle. And has a replica of your helmet too."

Geez... He is doing all these nice things for me.. Does he really see me as his son? Or is it just an apology... Either way, it's very nice of him to do.

I had never in my life had a father figure before. In my first one, I grew up as an orphan. And ran away when I was a teenager to join a traveling circus. I grew attached to them but eventually became my own stuntman. Then I met the others. And then the curse happened... And I suppose that with time I might be able to see Kawahira as family.

"Thank you. I really appreciate it. Did... Did you mean what you said at the restaurant? About trying to be a family?" He looked surprised. As if he didn't expect this type of question.

"Honestly... I do want to have a father/son relationship with you. But I know that my past actions can not be so easily forgiven. But I would love to try when you are ready."

I know that everything is going so fast. Suddenly I run into Kawahira, who is my dad now. And I'm already wanting to forgive him and call him 'Dad.'

Am I stupid?

Tears welled up in my eyes. I have no idea what to think.

Suddenly a pair of arms wrapped themselves around me.

"Shhh. It's all okay. Let it out."

I start sobbing. I couldn't hold it in. All these emotions came bubbling out.

We sat there for what seemed like hours but was only a few minutes.

I pulled away as I finally calmed down. "Thanks. I.. I needed that."  I wiped away my tears and smiled at him.

"Actually. There are a few more things... First of all..." He lifted his hand and put it over my head. It... It felt so warm! Kind of reminds me of Yuni...

"You already have Cloud flames, and I just gave you the full set. Sun, Sky, Storm, Rain, Mist, and Lightning. And the rest of the gifts are just box weapons for those flames. I will also help you learn how to use them properly!"
...

Wow.

I was not expecting that. Well. I guess I just have to deal with it.

And besides. It will help me become a hero! And maybe help me find my family again.

"I don't know what to say. I've already said 'thank you' a hundred times already. Heh."

"There is actually one more thing that I must tell you."

"Okay? What is it?"

"You aren't the only one to have been reborn into this world."

"Wait... What!?"

"I'm not sure where everyone is or who exactly is here."

"Well. I will make it my job to find them then!"

Kawahira chuckles and nods his head. "I suppose it is then. I will let you know if I ever find anything or anyone. But until then, let's start training!"

I hope you enjoyed this chapter! The next one will mostly be following the first episode or two. And I don't think that Skull/Izuku is going to take One for All. I think that he is perfectly content with his flames and doesn't want to use someone else's power.

Besides. I think that Skull will have something else in mind..

But you will have to wait to find out!
