One By Millions

chapter 54

Shino let out a yawn as she rolled in her blankets. She had multiple weights on top of her. Four children to be precise. She heard the gurgle of a baby and found the youngest of them on her bed, with a bottle full of milk that he was not drinking. She sighed. Having younger siblings is fun, but she needed sleep and they refused to leave her alone even after she had spent the entire day with them. Yui was continuously asking questions. Ryuu wanted her to teach him to fight. Yuki tried to quiet them down and get them to leave her be and she was sure Reichi was half asleep on top of her. She glanced at her door when she heard multiple footsteps heading up.

Free days, why could she never get some sleep?

Momo was the first to step into Shino's room and find her on her bed under four children. She smiled. Shino looked tired but was smiling and answering Yui's questions. She could only talk to one so Ryuu felt ignored and started insulting her. The baby was happily doing anything with his bottle of milk except drinking it. He rolled and Shino quickly wrapped an arm around him to pull him back towards her.

Sora came in after Momo. After seeing the scene he grinned. Look at that. What a good big sister and it was her first day on the job

"A bunch of kids are going to kill her" Katsuki said as he also stepped into the room. Shino needed her sleep since she didn't take a break the night before. The good thing was that the school gave them a one day break. Bad thing is that they would definitely get acolding for going up against Stain.

"Should we help? She looks really sleepy" Izuku asked as he observed the scene

"We should" Momo agreed as she stepped further into the room.

Shino felt the children being lifted off her one by one. She rolled over onto her back to look at her friends. They each took a toddler. She chuckled at how they tried to handle them. Katsuki fell into an argument with Ryuu. He looked on the verge of cursing the young boy. Sora had a sleepy looking Reichi in his arms while he offered him some chips. The toddler accepted with a small smile and they started to talk about their favorite food. Izuku had Yuki and both of them looked to others with slight worry. Momo had Yui and was easily answering all of her questions. For some reason Shino thought they fit together perfectly.

"We'll take them off your hands while you get some sleep" Sora said as he took Yui from Momo and Izuku carefully picked up a happy Kaito. "We'll be leaving Momo"

Shino weakly waved as the three boys left the room with the excited children. She sighed and scooted over to make space for Momo. She really needed a nap.

"How's it feel to be a big sister? " Momo asked as she snuggled up to the warm Shino.

"It's fun" it was the truth. When she and her parents had returned home she suddenly remembered that she had left the kids with Kina. She then remembered to tell her parents and nicely asked them to adopt the kids because they weren't so lucky with parents. They were more than happy to add four toddlers and a baby to the family. Everything was taken care of almost immediately. They were now official Kiddos. They spent their first night in Shino's room. Shino had been busy with them since she awoke in the morning. Her parents were off on hero duty. There was the staff of the house, but she didn't want to bother them.

"But sleep" she moaned at some point and hugged Momo tightly. "I need to sleep. They kept me up past my bedtime. I hardly took a break yesterday and I used multiple quirks at once to hide myself. Sugar wasn't enough, I need sleep"

Momo couldn't help but giggle at Shino's whining.

"Well, you can get some sleep"

Shino hummed.
