《Return • Todoroki ff》Chapter 6

"Niko. Niko." Shoto called out as he shook her shoulders. However his attempt to wake Niko up was not very successful because the girl continued to sleep.
Shoto scratched his head trying to think of a solution while he was thinking Niko started to mumble something.
"No.. no... don't go!" With that Niko woke up sitting up from her sleeping position immediately. She gripped onto the fabric of her shirt tightly as she took in deep breaths.
"Niko are you okay?" Shoto questioned as he watched her taking in deep breaths and Niko nodded in reply before exiting the car.
Shoto didn't say much as he locked the car and walked towards his apartment.
"Treat this as your own house." Shoto stated as he stepped into his apartment. He changed his shoes into house slippers and grabbed a pair of slippers for Niko from the cabinet.
After Niko changed into her slippers she took the opportunity to look around after asking permission from Shoto of course. As she was wandering around the house she realised that the house was mostly plain beside a few potted plants scattered around the house. At that moment a picture frame caught her eye and she walked towards it. The frame had a family picture, the Todoroki Household. But of course that was when all the Todorokis' were younger.
"Niko?" Niko turned her attention to the kitchen where Shoto was standing.
"Do you want soba or ramen?" He questioned holding up two packets of noodles.
"Soba please." Shoto nodded and returned the ramen package to the cabinet.
Niko continued to wander around the house occasionally stopping to look at pictures that were hung on the walls. As she was looking at the pictures she noticed a girl in one of the pictures and she took a closer look and realised that the girl in that picture was her.
Unknowingly, I took the picture frame down from the shelf to take a closer look.
"How can that be me? I look so different now.." I mumbled to myself as I continued to examine the picture.
"Niko?" I turned my head and saw Shoto sending near me. When I mean near I meant very near.
"I called you many times but you didn't respond to me so I came over to take a look." He explained.
"So um why did you call me?"

"The soba is ready." I nodded in reply and returned the picture frame to its original spot and walked towards the dining table to eat my food.
"So what were you looking at?" He questioned.
"Oh erm I just saw a few picture frames sitting on the shelf so I went to take a look."
"You saw the one with you didn't you.." I nodded in reply as I slurped on the soba.
"Hey the soba is great did you learn to cook?" He nodded and smiled as he took a bite out of his own food.
"Thanks for sending me home Todoroki." I said as I exited the car.
"Niko wait! I have something for you." He called out and reached out to the back of his car to pass me a box.
"Open it when I leave." After saying that he drove off into the distance and I watched as the car disappeared to open the box.
Inside the box with a beautiful silver bracelet with the initials, N.H
'Why would he give me a bracelet?' I thought as placed the bracelet into my pocket and walked into the house.
"You're finally back. Do you have any idea what time it is?" Asahi lectured as he crossed his arms over his chest and stood in front of the entrance to the house.
"Calm down Asahi. You're acting like a dad." I said as I took off my shoes and shook my head at his actions.
"Hey you're my sister. I am obliged to act like a dad when dad isn't around."
"Okok calm down. Anyways I am back now." I said and gave him a peck on his cheeks before walking to my room.
"Goodnight Asahi!" I yelled from the entrance of my room as I entered and closed the door I could hear a muffled 'Goodnight sis.'
I giggled as I took the bracelet out of my pocket and placed it on my dressing table. I sat on the chair as I took off my accessories and placed everything back into the jewellery box except that bracelet.
"I guess I can wear it with that necklace now." I mumbled as I walked to the closet to take my clothes and towel to shower.
After showering I sat on my bed and scrolled through social media as I waited for my hair to dry.

Just when I was about to switch off my phone to go to sleep it rang I sighed in frustration as I switched on my phone again and clicked the notifications.
Shoto, Niko
Have you opened the box?
Yes. The bracelet is very beautiful thank you.
Are you going to wear it?
It depends.
I see....goodnight Niko.
Goodnight Todoroki.
With that I switched off my phone and placed it by my bedside table and shortly after that I fell into dreamland.
As the clock struck 8, Niko's phone started to ring and she reached over to snooze it but of course the alarm rang shortly after that. Niko groaned in reply as she sat up on her bed and ran her fingers through her hair.
"Weekends always go by so fast.." Niko mumbled as she got off her bed and went to the bathroom to get ready for the day.
As she emerged from her room, she was wearing a white button-up shirt paired with a black pencil skirt that reached her knees, her brown hair was hanging loosely by her shoulders and on her wrist and neck she had the necklace and bracelet Shoto gave. She carried a black handbag as she walked down to the dining table.
"Good morning sis." Asahi said as he grabbed a piece of bread from his plate.
"Good morning Asahi, aren't you suppose to be in school?" Niko questioned as she sat at the seat opposite her brother.
"Well you see I was wondering if you could send me.." Niko sighed and nodded and grabbed a piece of bread for herself.
"Asahi lets go or you're gonna be late." Niko shouted as she wore her white heels.
"Coming!!" Asahi yelled as he grabbed his bag and another piece of bread.
Once Niko wore her shoes she walked out of the door to the car and sat in the driver's seat waiting for her brother.
"Sis. You gotta relax."
"Yea yea says the one who was gonna be late."
The car ride was silent and once they reached UA Asahi waved goodbye to his sister before getting off and going into the school. Once Niko saw that Asahi got in safely she drove to work.
Upon reaching her workplace she parked her car and took her bag before walking into the building. As Niko walked into the building she noticed that Yuito was standing by the entrance and greeted her as she walked in.
"Yuito, you don't have to stand here to greet me every morning.. It's not necessary." Niko commented as she walked into her office.
"I see I'll take note of that. Mr Arai is already in your office."
"I see thank you Yuito. You can go back to whatever you're doing I'll call you when I need you." Yuito nodded and walked off as Niko walked into her office.
"Hitori-san you are early to work today." Kaito commented as he looked up from his screen.
"I can't tell if that's a compliment of insult Kaito." Niko said as she placed her bag down on her desk.
"So any updates for my schedule today?" Niko asked as she watched Kaito pick up the tablet from his desk.
"You have a meeting with the team today to discuss the new arrivals and shortly after that you need to go meet the suppliers to discuss the new arrivals and then you need to go to the main office to check your new office."
"So that's the whole day?" Kaito nodded and Niko sighed.
"This is going to be a long day." Niko said as she leaned back into her chair and Kaito placed his tablet down.
"Well, your day starts in about 1h so I guess you can use it to get some coffee." Kaito said as he returned his attention to his laptop and Niko hummed as a reply.
"Well as the best secretary ever why don't you go get me some coffee." Niko said as she turned her head to look at Kaito as he sighed in defeat and got up from his chair.
"The normal?" Kaito asked and when Niko nodded in reply he walked out of the room to get her coffee.
When Kaito left, Niko closed her eyes hoping to get a quick nap before her meeting but it was interrupted when her phone started to ring, she opened her eyes again and rummaged through her bag to find her phone to pick up the call. When she finally found her phone she checked the caller ID and saw that it was Shoto.
"Isn't he on patrol or something.. Why is he calling me?" Niko questioned as she picked up the call.

Essence Eater (A Super Progression Fantasy)
Gods. Demons. Aliens. Superheroes. Supervillains.Consume them all for power. Eighty years have passed since WW2, when Prime took to the skies and ended the war. No one knows what gave him his power, or what birthed the wave of supers that came after. Some claimed the nuclear bombs dropped in Japan cracked the barrier between Universes, allowing alien energies to enter the dimension. Others believed the wars finally triggered what humanity needed to reach a new stage of evolution. Daniel Das lives with his uncle in post-super London, the League of Hero's primary hub. He's spent all of his twenty-one years pushing himself, training in martial arts and studying supers, hoping he'll awaken his metagene and gain super powers. The cut-off age is close, but he hasn't yet awakened superpowers. Meanwhile, the League is steadily losing parts of the city to the growing villain factions. Daniel's uncle wishes to keep him away from the world of supers, but with the hot zones closing in, that's easier said than done. There are villains selling unregulated superpowers to gangs and dark days are on the horizon. Despite his limitations, there is no stopping Daniel. He is ravenous for power. If needed, he will ally with demons if they give him the power to protect his family and home. -------------------------------- This world building is heavily inspired by Worm and The Boys. It features dark, realistic storylines, corporation-funded heroes, and villains who aren't necessarily bad guys. The protagonist's powerset involves the crowd-favourite consuming enemies for power trope, too. The GameLit/LitRPG elements are super light and takes a while to kick in. The powercreep is slow as well since I don't enjoy overpowered protagonists. Chapters everyday until book 1 is complete. The schedule will change once I reach that point.

Almost a Good Person
A memory, a memory of a boy who wanted more than pain, of a girl who wanted more than death, and an Isle that should not exist. The Isle of Red is a small, unassuming, quiet place. It is just large enough for a college, a small town, and maybe even a few more unusual sorts of places. Of course, the townsfolk practically know each other as family. Flush-faced regulars can be found toasting just about anything in the Briar's Brew, then, a few streets away, the same haggle of older women stationed themselves on their perch as they did every day from one of the few balconies in Central Square. They fuss away now, spouting the usual gossip as they watch us all from on high. Then there is the College here on the Isle of Red. My college. It has been often described as an unusual place by a good deal of people on the mainland. If they only would visit -why I am sure they'll soon have a change of heart, they may even come to find it a quaint sort of place, odd but in the same way a tattered old quilt can be both odd looking and warm, and especially soft. We teach mostly the same sort of disciplines here, with fantastic and absolutely normal professors.I must conclude that I am quite smitten with myself. The stage is set with a level of perfection that would have astonished me in my youth. They are coming. Derek will follow her. He knows the weight of reality too intimately, but she will be his true north if only for a short time. A beacon in the storm to show him the stunning pastels and brightness the sun may yet refract through his thinner, sharper pieces. Theoline will lead as she always has- well not always, not yet. She holds onto questions feverishly tight, that one. Lights them up inside like a new type of fuel without the slightest worry of being burned. She knows... There is but a certain few who can look at a map and find nothing where I stand but the Atlantic Ocean. And still, there is earth beneath me, a noisy pub down the road from me, and several people clucking conspiratorially on a balcony above me. She knows... that the Isle of Red doesn't belong here. Neither, technically, do I. (Hello! Chapters will be posted regularly on this website and also at Booksie: Almost a Good Person, book by KenjaminButton (booksie.com)Stay tuned for Chapter 3 to be uploaded on 5/28/2022!)
