One By Millions

Chapter 7

"I win! "

Shino looked away from her book and towards the boys positioned in front of her massive TV. They were playing an action video game and it seemed that Sora won again. There was no beating Sora when it came to video games. He was an expert. He can play any game and surely win it on his first or second try. Katsuki made it his goal to beat him one day. Whether it be in a video game, at eating or who got the better hair style. Katsuki declared Sora his eternal rival and they were always competing. Izuku just joined the video game for fun and wasn't as competitive as the other two.

"Again! I'll beat you this time "

Sora laughed at Katsuki's declaration and restarted the game. Izuku sighed and gave up his remote. It was best he let those two be. He could just play on his handheld console.

"Will those two ever stop? "

"I doubt it"

Shino returned her attention to her book. It had been two weeks since she found out about her forcefield bubble. It only activated when she fell asleep and lately she had been feeling very sleepy no matter how much sleep she got the night before. Must be because of her quirk. If the bubble only activates when she's asleep she must naturally be capable of falling asleep at a moments notice. It was a bother though. She had been feeling a little weird for the past few days. Ever since she woke up that day. It felt as if something within her was stirring. The feeling never stopped and continued through the day and into the night. The feeling never stopped and she wondered what it was. She had many thoughts about it and made sure to write it down in her notebook. She wasn't any step closer to figuring it out though.

She sighed and closed her book. Her thoughts about it had returned and she could no longer focus on the story. She put the book away and decided to watch the intense video game fight between her friends. She couldn't focus on that either. She was all to aware of the stirring.  With another sigh she closed her eyes and pictured the stirring within her. She imagined a ball of some sort. It kept twisting and forming into multiple shapes, but would never remain one lone shape for long. One moment it would be a triangle the next it would be a square. It was weird. She wondered if she could control the shape it takes and how it moved around. And so she set to work on trying. She imagined pulling it into the shape of a rectangle before shaping it back to a circle. It didn't work at first. When she tugged and tugged right back and remained stubborn for her next seven or so try. On her eight she tugged harder and did not let go, she refused to let it take any other shape that was not the rectangle she had in mind. This time around it had to do as told for she had a solid grip on it. Having control of it she shaped it as she wished. It was one thing to grab hold of it, but another to shape it to her will. She pushed through however and shaped it as she wished. She formed the rectangle and then averted it back to a circle. She let go and it remain as she wanted it to. Huh. She wonder if she could direct it to another part if her body. As it was it resided in her core. She gripped onto it again. This time instead of shaping it she guided a tiny piece away from her core and towards her right hand. It took her some time, but she succeeded.

There came a gasp next to her and she opened her eyes. Izuku was staring at her hand and so she directed her attention there as well.

"Oh"

In the palm of her hand flickered a little white flame. She didn't know if it was a flame or just shaped like one. It wasn't hot or cold. She brought her other hand towards it. Her hand passed right through it, but she felt only a tingling sensation.

"What is that? "

" I have no clue"

The white flame flickered and danced over to her fingers. They were pretty fun to watch. Are these flames the thing that is constantly shifting within her? If so could she shape then as well?
