Chapter Text

For the world it had been 200 years since the dawn of quirks. 

For Izuku it had been 514 years since he became an immortal vampire. It had been 242 years since he gained the ability to create and form anything he wanted with his mind. With the knowledge of that he began to build. Since he was an immortal vampire that didn't age he had all the time in the world to create whatever his heart desired. 

In the beginning Izuku created an Underground Kingdom while making sure he could still see the outside world as well as creating an invisible barrier that shielded his kingdom from outsiders. He could see out, but no one could see into his kingdom from the outside. It looked as if nothing had changed.

He built an enormous castle fit to house a thousand people. Naturally he thought that since he had a castle then he might as well build a town with several sights to see. 

'Maybe one day, when the world is accepting of people like me, I can invite people to live here.' He thought. 

He built a massive library and imagined a copy of every book in the world since ancient times on the shelves. The next moment the library was filled with every and any book you could imagine. All categorized by series, alphabetized, and put in different sections. Next he created a pool with a dark oak deck. On it was a pool-side bar with a plush and comfortable lounge area. Then he imagined beautiful gardens with a pond and an indoor green house with a single cherry blossom tree. 

He went outside and there they were. His beautiful gardens and pond surrounded the green house. He made sure that tall trees surrounded his kingdom like a forest. 

It had been decades since he finished creating his kingdom. He was fresh out of ideas to act on. Most days he felt lonely. One day he finally had an idea and imagined a room full of high tech computers so he could check on the world outside of the barrier he made.

(He couldn't really go and venture out into the world since the sun made him very susceptible to extreme sun burns. One of the many reasons he had the barrier was that it could filter out the harsh UV light rays and radiation. He could go outside all he wanted with the barrier in place. He didn't need to grab his cloak, umbrella or apply sunscreen just to enjoy a day in the sun.) 

Apparently the world was obsessed with heroes nowadays. 

The world had a ranking system in place for professional heroes, or as the world called them, Pro Heroes. 

Izuku made sure to catch up with the history, drama, and news from the last few centuries. There was so much he had missed. He needed to catch up on the latest slang that the people used if he ever wanted to connect with the world again. 

A few years passed and Izuku became a Hero-Tuber by the name of Dracula. He thought it was fitting since he was also a vampire who owned a castle. He chuckled at the fantasy stories he had read over the years that humans came up with on their thoughts of what a vampire was. While yes he did need blood to survive he had the power to create anything and everything, including organic things like blood. He was also mildly allergic to garlic, it didn't harm him though, he just sneezed quite a bit which was a nuisance and a pain to deal with. There were a few things humans did get wrong however. He could still see his reflection and he could not die from a stake to the heart. He found that part out the hard way on accident. 

Pulling yourself off of a broken branch that was sticking out of a tree trunk and watching the hole in your chest close wasn't a pleasant experience. One that he didn't want a repeat of. He shivered at the thought. 

Izuku was pulled out of his thoughts as a notification popped up on a different screen. He pulled it up on his bigger screen and read the invite he had been sent. 

Dear Hero-Tuber Dracula,

Am I a dog? A mouse? A bear? I am Nedzu! Yueii heroics teacher! I hope this message finds you in good health and was hoping you would consider playing a game of chess with me. I do not find many people with a mind like mine. Though when I happened upon your videos I was increasingly excited as you kept posting your analysis on heroes and villains. I use them in my analysis class. I do hope we can become good friends. Please respond at your earliest convenience. 

~Nedzu

Izuku was surprised to say the least. In all the 242 years that he lived in isolation, nobody has ever found him nor interacted with him. He immediately sent a response back. 

Dear Nedzu-san, 

I would absolutely love to play a game of chess with a mind as intelligent as yours. Unfortunately, I do not have much experience in socializing with another living being. I have, as the kids today say, been living under a rock, as it were. In the last five years I have had to play 'catch up' with the events around the world. You see, I am unable to age. I am stuck with the body of a 29 year old. Though I am much older than most can comprehend. 

Sincerely yours,

~Izuku Midoriya (Hero-Tuber Dracula)

Chapter Text

It had been 19 years since Izuku and Nedzu became friends.

18 years since his romantic soul-marks finally formed. While he was surprised that there were two he immediately knew he loved them. It had also been 4 years since his first three soul-children had been born. It had been 2 years since another of his soul-children had been born. His first three soul-marks were that of a blonde pup (baby bat) with yellow eyes, a black hellhound with bright blue eyes, and a dusty blue/Grey cat with red eyes. His fourth soul-mark was a lavender kitten with purple/blue eyes. His romantic soul-marks were a black cat wearing a white scarf wrapping around both itself and another blonde cat but with sunglasses and headphones over it's ears. All of them were very cute. 

Izuku cherished his marks as he never thought he would be able to have a family of his own. He swore he would do whatever it took to make his soulmates and soul-child happy. And if his soulmates happened to have children or soul-children, well, their home will be that much more filled with joy. 

It had also been 5 years since Nedzu became the principal of U.A. 

He was snapped out of his thoughts when a notification lit up his phone that Nedzu sent him. The Principal had invited him to visit from time to time so they could play chess and converse over tea. 

It seemed that Nedzu was calling him. He tapped the green button and answered. 

"Hello Nedzu-san, have I forgotten a scheduled visit today? I thought I had written them all down." he wondered. 

"Good morning Izuku-san, that is not why I am calling you. While I would absolutely love for you to visit again, I have problem that needs corrected." The Principal told him cheerily. 

"What would you like me to do?" he inquired, concerned. His friend usually never needed to correct a mistake. If there was a mistake then that means someone did something to anger him. 

"I happened upon a young girl in the park today. She looked terribly thin. I noticed that she had fangs as she drank blood from a bird she had hunted herself. A moment later her parents showed up and dragged her from the park screaming about how she was nothing but a monster and a villain. I know that a child like her is no monster and certainly not a villain. Unfortunately the HPSC won't let me do anything about it as my position is the principal of UA. Do you know where I am going with this?" he questioned. 

Izuku did. 

"What is her name and where does she live. I will retrieve her and she will be taken care of here." He stated, not leaving any room in his tone for argument. 

"Well, I just happen to have that pulled up. Her name is Himiko Toga, her quirk is called Transform. Himiko's Quirk allows her to take the physical form of another person, as well as imitate their voice. She pulls this off by ingesting human blood. The drawback however is that she needs to maintain a steady diet of blood and meat to stay healthy. She lives at XXX XXXX XXXXXX street. Please hurry, I do not want her to continue to live with her biological parents, they force her to be 'normal' without the intake of blood." Nedzu instructed as he informed him. 

The green haired vampire rose from his seat and grabbed a large plush blanket that self heats to a comfortable temperature. 

"Trust me, my friend, she will not have to worry about that for much longer. She is a princess and will be treated as such. I will talk to you soon. I have something to take care of." he reassured the chimera. He then hung up the phone and strode out to his car.

Izuku pulled up the directions on his phone and sped to the address. 

Pulling up to a dreary old house he parked and stepped out and marched up to the door. He took a moment to calm down and collected himself before knocking on the door that had peeling paint. Within seconds someone opened the door. 

"What do you want?" a gruff sounding voice came. A man with brown hair and yellow eyes stood in the doorway with his arms crossed. 

Izuku just grinned before catching the man in his hypnotizing gaze. His eyes turning white. 

"Lead me to your daughter." he commanded, the man under his spell. Something that came with being a few centuries old vampire. 

The man nodded and lead him into the house. They passed the living room where a woman sat on the couch, asleep, with the tv on. Izuku sighed in relief, he really didn't want to waste his hypnotizing gaze on another person. The man lead him to a closet at the end of the hallway. Izuku glared at the man before breaking the doorknob and pulling open the door to see his new daughter asleep, curled up in a corner with tears rolling down her cheeks. 

The greenette grit his teeth before carefully picking the small malnourished girl up and cradling her close to his chest. 

"Do not worry my darling, you will never shed tears of fear as long as I am here." he whispered to her sleeping form before pressing a kiss to her head and leaving back the way he came through the house. 

The old vampire put his tiny princess in the backseat of his car and laying a blanket over her before getting into the front seat and driving away. As soon as he was a good ways away from the house he released the man. 

Izuku smiled softly as he drove his new daughter home. 

His little darling would grow up with the childhood she deserves. 

The best. 

Chapter Text

Snow fell outside the castle as Izuku made them their breakfast. 

It was winter. Izuku would have to make more heavy cloaks for Himiko the deeper into winter they got. 

At the moment he was making a bento for her before she went to school. He could hear her rushing around her room upstairs. And a few minutes later she was running into the kitchen. Izuku chuckled at her antics before turning around and handing her the bento and a plate of French blood toast. (just regular French toast but the egg and cinnamon are mixed with blood)

"Thank you, Papa! I'm gonna be late, so I'll see you after school!" his little princess told him in a rush before hurriedly giving him a hug and zipping out the door with toast hanging from her mouth. It was always like this in the morning ever since he enrolled her in a different school.

He just smiled. 

Izuku sighed and decided to take a walk around the grounds. 

Himiko POV

She was going to be so late!

She forgot to set her alarm again to wake her up. She knew her father didn't mind and would probably call in for her, but she felt like the least she could do for him was get up on time and go to school. Her father was her hero. He had rescued her from that terrible place when she was little. He was the best dad she could ever wish for. 

Himiko sprinted towards the gate of her school and through the doors before they were locked for the school day. Practically teleporting through the school with how fast she felt she was going she was in her homeroom just in time for the last bell to ring. 

The blonde vampire sighed in relief and walked to her seat. 

"Forget to set your alarm, Midoriya?" her teacher teased. 

Mrs. Akabane was really nice to everyone and always loved to tease her students if they were almost late. She was an amazing teacher. 

"Sorry Mrs. Akabane-sensei." She apologized sheepishly, scratching the back of her head. 

Sensei just smiled at her and giggled a bit. 

"It's okay Midoriya, as long as you're on time it'll be fine." she told her. 

Best. Teacher. Ever. 

"Alright class, today I have news. Tomorrow is Parents Day. Meaning, I'll give you a piece of paper telling your parents that they can come and spend the day here with you and see how we teachers take care of you." Sensei announced. 

"Sensei!" someone in the back of the class yelled out. Himiko turned around to see who it was. 

Togata had his hand raised up high in the air, a big grin splitting the entirety of his face in half. 

"Yes Togata?" 

"What if we don't have parents or grandparents?" he asked. 

That was actually a good question. 

Mrs. Akabane blinked in surprise before smiling kindly. 

"That's a good question Togata. For those of you who don't have a parent, your guardian is also more than welcome to come to Parents Day as well." she told the class. 

That made sense. Himiko was adopted by her father 8 years ago. So, she understood that some kids didn't have a good parent that took care of them like Papa did for her. She knew that some kids lived with bad parents. Papa taught her that after she found a book on adoption open on his desk after he saved her. 

The rest of the school day was the same as all the rest. School work, sit in a corner at lunch by herself, get teased and bullied for having a bloody lunch while the other teachers turn a blind eye, then go back to class where her only saving grace was Mrs. Akabane. 

She knew she could tell her papa about the bullying and the other teachers, but she liked her teacher. She liked the course work. Sure, she didn't like the bullies or the teachers who pretended they couldn't see the bullies being mean to her, but Papa probably paid a lot for the school tuition. Himiko felt like the least she could do for him was put up with them. 

Soon the last bell rang, signaling that it was the end of the day. Himiko sighed in relief and collected her things before heading out. She usually walked to and from school since her papa signed her up for self-defense lessons three years ago when she was 9. 

Maybe she could get some Takoyaki from the store on her way home. 

As she walked past an alley, she was ripped from her thoughts by a scream. 

She whipped her head towards it and found four kids beating up a small boy with purple hair that had a muzzle on his face. 

Her eyes widened at the sight before she snarled. 

"Hey! Leave him alone!" She growled at them. The kids turned around and glared at her. 

"Why, we're just doing the world a favor and teaching this future villain a lesson." the ringleader snarled back. 

Himiko decided enough was enough and hissed at them with her fangs on full display. 

"If you don't want me to drain all of the blood out of you then you're gonna leave him alone." she said dangerously. 

The kids' faces went pale. 

"Tch, f-fine. C'mon guys. let's go to the arcade or something." the leader mumbled before leading the others out of the alley. 

Himiko glared at them as they passed her before going over to the boy who was unconscious on the ground. She crouched next to him and clasped her hands over the leather straps of the muzzle around his face before ripping the whole thing off of him. Then she put two fingers under his nose just like Papa taught her and waited to see if he was still breathing. Thankfully she felt his breath on her fingers, she sighed in relief. Himiko sat him up against the wall before pulling one of his arms over her shoulder then did the same with the other one and bent over so he was leaning over her. Then she grabbed the back of his thighs and hiked him up onto her back and grabbing his backpack. She carried him like that all the way back into the woods and through the barrier gate before going up the stairs of the estate she lived in. 

"PAPA!" she called out. If anyone could help the smaller boy, her papa could. 

Izuku POV

Izuku had been tending the garden when he heard his little princess shout. 

"PAPA!" 

He immediately knew something was wrong. She sounded out of breath and panicked. He got up and sprinted to the front of the estate he had created. There he saw his little girl carrying an unconscious boy on her back up the stairs. His eyes widened and he rushed over to them. 

"What happened?" he asked as she handed the boy over. He couldn't be any older than 10 years old. He was so small and frail. Too much like what Himiko looked like when he found her all those years ago. 

"He was being attacked by bullies, Papa. They had put a muzzle on him too, but the straps were no problem for me to rip off." She informed him. 

They went inside and he brought the boy to his infirmary. 

"Himiko, can you grab the first aid kit and the X-Ray tablet for me please." he asked her. She nodded and ran off to get them after setting the boy's bag down by one of the infirmary beds. 

He carefully laid the boy down before taking off his jacket and shirt so he could see the damage left behind by the bullies. Izuku could see a few bruises, those weren't as bad, but he would need his X-Ray tablet to make sure that he didn't need a hospital though. Even though he was a licensed surgeon, he really did not want to have to perform surgery on a child. 

A moment later Himiko came running over with the tablet and the first aid kit. 

"Thank you dear." 

First, he powered up the tablet and hovered it over the surrounding areas of the boy's bruises. Thankfully it didn't seem like he had any broken bones or internal bleeding. Next, he moved onto the boy's skull. He had to make sure there wasn't any trauma to his brain or skull. He didn't see any internal brain bleeds or fractures to his skull. But he did find small fangs with the X-Ray. 

A vampire.

Like him and his daughter. 

He powered off the tablet and grabbed the pen flashlight in his pocket he always carried around before opening the boy's eyes and shining the light in them. His pupils didn't shrink so he most likely had a concussion. The boy was unconscious so it wasn't like he could shake the boy awake as it would make the concussion worse. So, he did what anyone else could do at the moment and just bandaged the boy's scrapes and cuts after cleaning them. 

"Himiko dear, could you go grab a blood pouch from the medical fridge. He's going to need it when he wakes up." he smiled at her. Her eyes lit up with understanding and she nodded before running off. 

As she was going to get a blood pouch, Izuku spotted the boy's backpack. He went over to it and opened it, hoping to find a name for the small vampire boy. 

Inside the bag he found a notebook, a small blanket, a pair of clothes, two water bottles and a few granola bars. He opened the notebook and found two words written on the inside cover. 

Hitoshi Shinsou. 

Looks like he has to call in a favor to an old friend. 

He took out his cell phone and found the number he was looking for before calling it. 

Riiiing...

Riiiing...

Riiin-Click!

"Hello Izuku-San! What can I do for you?" the squeaky voice of the Principal of U.A. High greeted. 

"Nedzu-San, hello. I need a favor. Can you search a name for me?" he asked politely. 

"Well of course, anything for an old friend. The name?" 

"Hitoshi Shinsou. Himiko came home with the boy. He was in rough shape and has yet to wake up. Could you also possibly send Recovery Girl to check him over. There's only so much I can do with my equipment and I'm afraid he has a concussion." The old vampire explains. 

"Ah, of course. I can send her over right now. As for young Hitoshi, it seems that he's in the system. He lives in an orphanage in Musutafu, but he hasn't been seen in three days. Would you like me to get the adoption papers ready and send them with Recovery Girl?" Nedzu informed and asked him kindly. 

"Yes, please and thank you old friend." he smiled softly.

"Oh, it's no trouble Izuku-San. One more child off the streets and into a good home is enough for me. Are you going to be available for our weekly game of chess this Sunday?" The chimera asked. 

"Of course Nedzu-San, I wouldn't dare miss it." he chuckled. 

After a few more moments of talking they hung up and Recovery Girl walked into the infirmary via doorway portal that connected to U.A. High Infirmary. 

"Recovery Girl, I am glad you were able to come here. Little Hitoshi here was ambushed by bullies until Himiko came along. I was able to patch him up as best I could but I'm afraid he might have a concussion." he explained to the healing hero. She patted his arm and smiled at him. 

"You did what you could dearie. Let me give him a kiss and he should be as good as new." she told him kindly before handing him a packet of papers. 

He sighed in relief and walked over to a desk to look over the papers. They were the adoption papers that Nedzu said he would send with her. He quickly signed them, but as he got to the name change papers he held off until the small boy woke up. He wanted to know what the boy wanted. If Hitoshi wanted to be a Midoriya then so be it. If not, that was fine as well. 

"I got the pouches Papa!" Himiko called out. He could hear the clicks of her Mary Janes on the stone floor of the house, heading towards him. He turned around and found her hauling four pouches in her arms. 

"I thought he might be really hungry, so I grabbed a few of them." she beamed at him. He chuckled at her and took the pouches before placing them on his desk. 

"He's all healed up dearies. The only thing I'm worried about at the moment is how malnourished he is." she told him, concern lacing her tone. 

"I assure you, Chiyo-San, he will be happy and healthy within the next few weeks." he smiled softly.

The healer nodded in acceptance before leaving. 

Chapter Text

It was around sunset when Hitoshi woke up. 

Izuku had been reading a book in a chair next to the infirmary bed. Himiko was doing homework at a small desk Izuku had conjured up for her. She had told him that she wanted to be with him when her new baby brother woke up. 

He had smiled softly at her, glad that she had accepted him so easily into their little family. 

He turned to face the little boy when he heard him start to stir. 

As the child opened his eyes he looked like he was starting to panic. 

"It's okay little one, you're safe here." The older vampire spoke softly. 

Hitoshi turned his head to look at him so quickly that Izuku was sure he would have whiplash. 

"Wh-Who are you? Where am I?!" He asked, panic lacing his voice.

Himiko hopped up from her desk and sat down in a chair on the other side of the bed. 

"That's Papa! I brought you here after some meanies were hurting you. Papa and Grandma made sure you were all better!" His little princess explained cheerfully.

Izuku smiled and took out three blood pouches from a mini fridge he had put on the bedside table. He handed one over to Himiko and set one gently on Hitoshi’s lap before sipping from his own. 

"This is Himiko and I'm Izuku Midoriya. I took an X-ray to make sure you didn't have any broken bones or a cracked skull and found little fangs. Both Himiko and I need blood to survive and when I found out you also had fangs I thought you might be hungry." The green haired vampire told the small boy. Hitoshi seemed to calm down and bit but looked confused.

"I have fangs?" He asked, tilting his head in confusion. 

He must have not known. That or his fangs were only recently coming in. A baby vampire was dangerous when they were hungry. A baby vampire could be unpredictable and could go into a frenzy when they were so hungry that they couldn't control their own actions. 

"Hitoshi, you are a vampire. If you get hungry enough you could go into a frenzy to feed. When you go into a frenzy your actions are not your own. Your hunger takes over and it's like you're pushed into the backseat while your hunger drives you. There is nothing you can do but watch. It is terrifying to experience. An experience I do not wish on anyone. And so when I found that you were one of us I had to take you in. There's hardly anyone else in the world that will understand you like we do. 

"I've filled out the adoption papers so you can become part of our family, if you will have us. You will have access to a steady supply of food and drinks. You will have your own room and a weekly allowance so you can get whatever you wish. You will have an older sister in Himiko, and you may call me whatever you wish." Izuku explained, a gentle smile on his face as to help calm the boy. 

Hitoshi’s eyes were wide, a tiny bit of hope shining in his lavender eyes.

"R-Really? You've... a-adopted me?" Came his small voice. Tears gathered at the corner of the boy's eyes. 

"Yes Hitoshi. You are legally my son, and I won't treat you as anything but mine. I know about your quirk, but it doesn't matter. Everything everyone has told you is wrong. Your quirk is not villainous, every quirk is just a tool. It's what you do with your quirk that matters. Whatever you want to do I will support you the whole way." Izuku told him as he brought him in for a hug. 

Himiko patted Hitoshi on the back gently and smiled. 

"Welcome to the Midoriya family little brother!" She cheered. 

(Timeskip two months)

Himiko POV 

It had been two months since she and Papa had rescued her baby brother. Speaking of Hitoshi, he liked to follow her around a lot. She enjoyed spending as much time as she could with him because she could make sure he was safe. She loved protecting him. She felt useful, like she was his bodyguard. 

Today they were hiking through the woods. An adventure for cool treasures as her little brother had called it. They had been adventuring for three hours with their buckets before it happened. 

Bright blue fire erupted from the forest across the pond they were next to. A blood curdling scream came from inside the fire. 

Himiko felt her body move before she could think. 

"Hitoshi, go get Papa! I'm gonna try to put out the fire and help whoever is in there. Leave the bucket, I need them to hold the water! Now go!" She told him before running around the pond to the other side. 

Hitoshi POV

He was almost out of breath as he reached the castle he had come to call home. 

"PAPA! HIMIKO NEEDS HELP!" he screamed as he reached the steps. The older vampire came rushing out in an instant. 

"Hitoshi, what's going on?" He questioned, kneeling in front of him. 

"The forest is on fire and someone's in trouble Papa. I heard screaming coming from the fire! Himi-nee told me to come get you while she tries to put out the fire with water from the pond!" He explained to the man. 

His Papa's eyes hardened. 

"Good job Hitoshi, I need you to go get a bed ready in the infirmary. Please call Nedzu and tell him that we need Recovery Girl. His number is in the infirmary on the bulletin board for emergencies. Explain everything to him while I go help your sister." His adoptive father told him quickly. 

Hitoshi nodded in understanding. 

He ran to the infirmary and called the Nedzu person first. 

Izuku POV

After telling Hitoshi what to do he activated his vampiric speed. Something he hadn't done in a few hundred years. He found Himiko quickly. She was dunking her buckets into the pond and running back to the fire before throwing the water onto a small flame. 

He stopped and imagined that it was raining. A heavy downpour immediately put out the fire. As soon as the rain came it had passed just as quickly once the fire died out. 

"Himiko, help me look for anyone that's injured." He ordered quickly. She knew better than to disobey when it was an emergency. 

They looked around for a few minutes when he heard his daughter shout.

"Papa! I found a boy, but he's really hurt!" She explained. He ran over to find her trying to carefully turn him over. 

Izuku took off his button up shirt and as gently as he could wrapped it around the poor boy before picking him up and cradled him to his own chest. Himiko quickly grabbed her buckets before running back to the castle while Izuku ran behind her, trying not to jostle the boy too much.

As they reached the steps Himiko opened the door for him and they met Recovery Girl in the hallway. 

"Good god, what happened?" She asked as she wheeled over a bed to put the boy on.

"I think he lost control over his quirk. The forest was engulfed in blue flames." He told her as he set the boy down. 

The next 10 hours were crucial as he helped her with the emergency surgery to keep the boy alive. She couldn't use her quirk on the boy as he didn't have enough energy. So he helped her where he could. He helped her treat the burns and nerve damage as much as he could. When Recovery Girl told him the boy would need skin grafts to replace the burnt and dead skin he offered up his own. 

With his regenerative abilities he wouldn't even scar. The boy did not have that ability. He would not allow a child to suffer if he could help it.

So for the last five hours he let the old Heroine take as much skin from him as the boy needed. His body healed the wounds after she took what the boy needed. 

He didn't mind it much as he had a high pain tolerance. 

Finally when they were done with the surgery they were able to relax a bit. The boy had made it, but he had to be wrapped in bandages to keep the new skin in place. 

Izuku made sure to tell Hitoshi and Himiko what a wonderful job the two did and that he was proud of them. 

Over the course of the next two weeks the boy had several healing sessions with Chiyo as the boy laid unconscious. 

Nedzu had contacted him two days after the surgery to tell him the boy's name and that he was now in Izuku's protective custody permanently. He told Izuku that the boy would most likely want to change his name once he woke up.

He welcomed the little boy into their home and gave him a new name.

Himiko and Hitoshi cared for their new brother over the course of the next few months. 

Their brother Dabi Midoriya.
