Waking up it felt... unnatural, not because it was but because I was so used to waking up in pain from electrical shock or from my body flooding with adrenaline as I avoid being gutted like a fish. I was okay with it even if my body disagrees with me. I look around the room and take in the fact that I really am free now, I don't have to do what that bastard says anymore.
Standing up and stretching I leave the room and head downstairs to find breakfast as Gran Torino unpacks a white paper bag filled with food. "I didn't have much stocked in the fridge so I went and got us something. Dig in" I did exactly that, I never did get to indulge in my instincts as a cat but now that I don't have to be on constant guard I just savored the flavor of the fish in whatever the hell this was.
I assume it showed on my face and my tail as it swung since Gran Torino had a small smile of satisfaction. After the meal was finished he looked at me and said "Alright kid if your going to be staying here this is the deal. I'm going to be needing a few things from you, first being that you will go to school, second is I'm gonna train you to fight and help you train your quirks, third is that under no circumstance can you tell anybody that you have more than Two quirks. I registered you as have a dual quirk which is your cat quirk and a nondescript energy manipulation quirk alright?"
I nod my head since this works for me except maybe school but I can always send a shadow clone and abuse the photographic memory of the sharingan. "Alright, one last thing I need a name. I was just gonna choose a random name but I figured I outta ask you what you want. So what is it boy?" Thinking about it I liked my old name but that wouldn't really fit anymore especially in japan so I finally say "Itachi." That reminds me I'll have to fetch you some medicine for your throat, can't have you be completely mute if your not in eyesight.
I raised my eyebrows as I'm impressed, I have had the sharingan active all the time but he figured out how I talked to him without using my mouth from the one time I did it. He ignored my reaction and went on to finish whatever paperwork he had to do for me. That was how I began my new life.
For the 3 months of the first year were spent getting me up to speed on things like schoolwork, technology, and basic manners. Gran Torino unlike Doctor Tsubasa actually asked about my past life since he dug around in my files and learned how a quirk was used to stuff a soul in the clone so he didn't need to walk it through infancy. Did Tsubasa know the soul was Japanese and would understand him I don't know but the guy really didn't think certain parts through all the way (CoughAuthorCough).
After I was all caught up and knew what I needed to function I'm society he sent me to school where I learned that my chastity is in serious danger. Itachi had a lot of fan girls and certainly was an eye catcher in his life but now that I have his looks and cat ears I have caught some older women giving me dangerous looks. The boys shunned me and the girls idolized me so I didn't really interact with people save for those who came looking for trouble so that was how I spent my first year.
My second year ended me up in junior high where the same situation came to be. One difference I can point out immediately was that I had a companion in looking too good which was surprisingly Momo. I like to consider it a blessing in disguise because I got to interact with her and slowly know her over the course of the year. If I had to say, I'd say we were close friends since a lot of people pushed us away in jealousy so we kinda just clicked. My training with Gran Torino or as I began to call him gramps or jiji was going well and began to go up a notch as my body was hitting puberty.
During the third year me and Momo began to hang out more and getting closer. Do I have a crush on her absolutely, does she have a crush on me is the question on my mind. As someone who has little experience in love or romance, I have no clue. Sure Revan had a kid with Bastila but he kinda split on them, Itachi killed Izumi so that relation kinda flopped, and Roxas for all his talent and skill was a dense protagonist. As we spent time together I also decided to ask for her help with a side project that I had been wanting to accomplish for a while. That being I would use my knowledge from Revan to build two robots, specifically HK-47 and T3-M4. It took some time since I didn't want to rush it but over the year I finished T3 first and have half of HK done.
At first gramps hated T3 calling it a rolling trash can and such but once I told him T3 can make him Taiyaki he changed his mind and started calling T3 the son he always wanted. I feel a little bad for the droid since even if T3 didn't want to he kinda had to make it, like a lot, all the time. I didn't make him too advance compared to modern tech but I might be stretching the truth since I did want him to have his personality similar to kotor. It did make Momo start asking questions because of the specification I gave on the hardware I needed. Those were questions I danced around with such grace that if this were still my first life I would die of jealousy.
In the fourth year after the fight I finished up HK and got him working. Momo and gramps were a little off out by him but I just fucking loved him, he was hilarious. Though I did need to reassure them both that HK did not actually have the capabilities to harm people only the personality. They got used to him eventually and I've caught them laughing at his antics even if they won't admit it.
Also during this time I asked Momo out on an actual date. I was nervous as fuck but with all my training with gramptorino I've learned to keep my composure under pressure. We have been going slow and steady but I'm happy and from when I gleam the surface of her thoughts with the force I can tell she is happy too which calms down my nerves and anxiety. I'm not certain what I was expecting or afraid of after all this time beyond maybe losing our friendship.
Also for some reason the night after I asked her out the system finally did something. [Notification. New Legacy available: Soma Yukihira] after which I promptly fell asleep in my bed to wake up with a migraine and scary levels of cooking skills which I abused to help my relationship. I'm not proud to admit that we may have tied tongue just to get a more taste of the food we ate at one point, just because I'm not proud of it doesn't mean I regret it though.
After all that time it has finally been about 5 years since that fight and the time till me and Momo apply go to U.A. is nearing. That means any time now he should be meeting Deku and assuming memory serves me right they had 10 months to train. This also leaves me with a small dilemma as I need to figure out what is gonna happen to class 1A with me being a variable or any other possible variables out there.
