Early one morning Shino was awaken by the chirping birds and the sun hitting her face. She rolled over in bed in hopes of getting more sleep but no matter what she did the sun always hit her face. She groaned and sat up annoyed. She glared out her window for a full minute before stumbling out of bed. It had been one month since Shino's last doctor visits. No more incidents occurred since then. The headphones and scarf were completed and she got them as soon as possible. The headphones were very comfortable and she hardly noticed they were there. The headphones were over ears and consisted of a black band and red speakers. The scarf she wore was very long and could reach her feet. Her parents said that it was made of special cloth and was hard to damage. The scarf was made so long because it was meant to last her long. The scarf itself had a checkered pattern and was silver and red. The ends ended in fringes. The scarf helped the block out the scents around her as to not let it overwhelm her. Even so her sense of smell is still a lot stronger than it was. The same could be said for her hearing. Her new heightened senses is the reason she so easily woke up.
Another problem she had was falling asleep. For some reason it as almost impossible to fall asleep for the last few days. She would go through the nightly routine and hit her soft bed. But when the time came to close her eyes and sleep she could not. There were too many thoughts rolling through her head and they would not stop. She found herself thinking about multiple things at the same time and couldn't settle down on just one thought. She'd stayed up more nights this month than she has in her life. Seeing as she was getting no where with her thoughts at night she decided to sit down and scratch them down on paper. She sorted them out into important, not important, possible for the future, school etc...
In the one month she had noticed how unaffected she was to temperature change. It got freezing cold one night. Her mother actually walked around in a thick jacket but the temperature did not affect her. She felt normal. When her mother had come to check on her due to worry she was surprised to find that her temperature was higher than normal. She didn't have a fever though. And that one time when she was out in the blazing sun she was again unaffected. This time it was Sora who checked her temperature. They were over at his house playing in the backyard. He was always complaining about the temperature. When he checked her it turns out her temperature had decreased to keep her cool. So it was only natural that she came to the conclusion that her body temperature changes to adapt to the outside temperature.
A lot if discoveries were made in this one month.
Today Shino felt like she could fall flat on her face at any moment. In all honesty she could. She felt sleep deprived. She didnt understand it though. She had a good night's sleep and slept regularly during the day before to make up for a sleepless night. So how is it that she felt as if she hadn't slept for hours? She didnt know at all.
Her parents weren't at home that morning. They had to work. It's nothing new. She's used to it by now. They're Astrape and Helios. Both named after Greek gods. Astrape is the Greek goddess of lightning and thunder while Helios ruled the sun. It's very fitting when one looks at their powers.
Nico had amazing lightning abilities. She could generate, conduct and control lightning with ease and even shoot it down from the sky. Or she could control the lightning being shot from the sky, either one is possible. It was like a super overpowered version if Kaminari's powers. She can also store up on electricity kind of like a battery. When she uses it out she gets very tired and might actually fall asleep quite easily. If she generates enough lightning in her feet or body she could run incredibly fast. Her drawbacks aren't the same though . Overuse can cause her to become paralyzed, suffer migraines and twitch uncontrollably as if she had been struck by lightning. Sometimes she would have lightning running through her and shock anyone who came in contact with her.
Shiro obviously had sun related powers and he basked in it. His quirk gives him the ability to absorb or "eat" sunlight. The absorbed energy can be used in a number of ways. He can make energy beams to use against enemies. He can create a solar barrier for protection or he could just use the gathered energy to boost his physical attributes like speed and strength. He can also give some of the gathered energy to anyone he touches as well as control sunlight. So he can turn himself invisible by retracting light. Drawbacks are the burns he can receive if the quirk is overused. He is very week at night and needs to be in the sun or places with a high temperature. When it's cold her father will dress himself as if he was going to Antarctica. If he gets no or little sun he will be very sluggish and lack energy to do anything.
Coming down the stairs Shino saw her breakfast being prepared by the house maid. She was a nice young woman with long brown hair and hazel eyes. She was always so nice and modest that Shino immediately took a liking to her. Her name was Akina, but Shino refers to her as Kina. Kinji and Kina are the head of staff and do their jobs very well.
"Good morning Kina"
"Good morning Shino, how are you feeling this morning? "
"Sleep deprived for some reason" just as she said that a big yawn excaped her.
Kina adopted a worried look when she saw how Shino looked like she lacked any energy.
"Did you not get enough sleep? "
"I did. I slept through the night this time so I don't understand why I feel this way"
"Maybe you just need to fill up on breakfast " Kina set a plate of bacon and eggs on the table and poured the young Kiddo a cup of orange juice. Bacon and eggs were her favorite and as such Kina made them regularly.
"Maybe" Shino didn't hesitate to start munching on a piece of bacon. "Thanks for the food, you're a great cook"
A slight tint of pink invaded the maid's cheek at the compliment.
"Thank you, although I doubt I'm as good as your mother"
"Don't sell yourself short, you might actually be her equal"
"You think so? "
"Sure do"
All was quiet after that. Kina had made herself some breakfast as well and joined Shino at the island. It was something they did most mornings.
After filling herself on breakfast Shino still felt sleep deprived.
"I'm still feeling the same" she sighed and slid off her stool.
"You should get some sleep then"
"I have piano lesson today, I never miss piano lesson"
"I could call and inform your tutor that you are not feeling very well today "
"That's okay. I'll make it through the day, don't worry too much. I'll call you if anything comes up"
Shino trudged back up the stairs, brushed her teeth and took a nice long warm bath. Her lesson start at 10 am and it was around 9 at the time. She had an hour to herself. After her shower she had gotten dressed in a pair of black pants and a white shirt. Her hair was pulled into a long pony tail for the day and she looked around her room. Everything was in it's place and her bed was made.
Another yawn escaped her and she rubbed her eyes. Why in the world was she so tired?
She took a seat at her desk and decided to write down her thoughts again. It was a good distraction and allowed her to clear her mind. She was still curious as to what exactly her quirk may be. Was it just her hyper awareness and possible regeneration abilities? The doctor said there could be something more but what exactly?
An hour flew by unexpectedly fast. At ten Kinji came to fetch the young master. She never liked to be called mistress and wanted Kinji to use her name but he refused. So she told him to call her young master instead. She liked it better than mistress.
Walking into her music room she saw her teacher standing beside the piano at the ready. The woman smiled upon seeing the young child, but once she saw her weary appearance the smile faded.
"Good morning Ms. Nozomi" Shino took a seat by the piano and ran a hand over the keys.
"Good morning little Shino. If I may say, you look a little worn today. Is everything alright? "
She restricted a yawn and nodded. "Yes, everything is fine. I just feel a little tired today is all"
"You don't have to take the lesson today if you don't want to. You're very good at the piano and missing one lesson won't harm your progress"
"No, no. I'll take the lesson. It's the only lesson I have today so I should do it"
Nozomi took a good look at the tired child. She wasn't sure she could remain awake during the lesson, but if she insists..
"If that is what you want"
And so an hour was spent with Shino improving her piano skills. It was one of her favorite lessons and she always paid very close attention. Even as she resisted the urge to close her eyes. She focused on the task at hand and did everything she was told or suggested. That one hour felt longer for some reason but it did eventually come to an end.
Nozomi had left with a good bye and and suggested Shino go to bed.
With no more lessons for the day and parents not returning until six she took that advice and went to bed. The second her head hit the pillow she was fast asleep.
Unknownst to her a odd bubble formed around her the second her eyes closed.
When her parents finally arrived home they were filled in on their daughter's tiredness and went to see her. She was still asleep even then and when they stepped into the room they saw an almost unnoticeable bubble around her.
"A bubble? "Nico stepped forward and tapped the object. Upon contact it got more visible. Nico had felt a small push when she tapped it. As if the bubble was pushing against her.
"Shiro, would you hit the bubble please"
"You want me to hit the bubble"
"Yes"
"What if it hurts Shino? "
"I doubt it will. Hit it"
Shiro took a glance at his wife before stepping forward and pulling a fist back. He sighed before bringing it down on the bubble. It wasn't a very strong punch, but he was sure it would break the bubble. Paterns formed on the area he had hit and suddenly he was sent stumbling back by an invisible force.
"Thought so"
"It pushed back"
"With twice the force. It's some kind of forcefield that when attacked will send out a force twice as strong"
"Is that her quirk? "
"It appears so"
