Our Song

After talking with All Might for a while longer. All Might finally said his goodbyes and left.

Once All Might had left, Detective Naomasa said to Kei "I am proud of you Kei, not a lot of people would turn down a free quirk like that. Especially one that is so unique and powerful"

"You are right, not a lot of people would" said Kei with a smile on his face

Kei was happy that All Might had considered him to inherit One For All. Sadly Kei already had both an ability and quirk that had potential to surpass One For All.

When Kei finished talking with Detective Naomasa, he excused himself to his room.

When Kei got to his room, he laid on his bed. He thought about the conversation he had with All Might after he decided to reject inheriting One For All.

Kei had told All Might that he had someone in mind to inherit One For All.

When Kei had mentioned Shou to All Might and how he was training hard to become a hero, even though he was quirk-less. All Might seemed to be impressed that Shou was committed to becoming a hero even though he had no quirk.

'If All Might gives One For All to Shou. Then by the time we enter UA High, Shou would already have mastered One For All or at least be close to reaching full mastery over it' thought Kei as he was hoping All Might would go see Shou

Although Kei felt bad that Midoriya Izuku would not become a hero like in the manga and anime. Kei had to admit that Midoriya Izuku was not the best choice to inherit One For All.

'Although he has good intentions, he is far too reckless' thought Kei as he remembered the anime

Midoriya Izuku would always bite off more than he could chew. It was to the point that he would willingly break his own body, just to have a chance to defeat an opponent he was not ready to go against.

'In the end, Shou is the better choice' thought Kei with an assured look in his eyes

In the past months Shou had shown Kei how responsible and hardworking he was. Not only that but Shou had great judgement of what he was currently capable of doing and not overestimating himself.

'Two symbols of peace' thought Kei with a smile on his face

When he kept thinking of All Might passing One For All to Shou. He could not help but think of the future and having Shou and himself being the leading heroes.

Shou was keis best friend and there was nobody else he could trust more than him.

The next day Kei got up and had breakfast. After he finished eating his breakfast, he went out to train.

Once Kei finished his training, he went back to his room to take a shower and get himself ready to go to Jiro's home.

When Kei was finished getting himself ready, he grabbed his guitar and went towards the door to head toward Jiro's house.

"Are you heading to your friends house?" Asked Detective Naomasa as he saw Kei well dressed with his guitar on him

"Yes, I will be back in a couple of hours" said Kei

"Alright, call me if you stay later than that" said Detective Naomasa as he saw Kei go out the door

'Look at him all dressed up, maybe All Might was right, he might actually have a crush on the girl' thought Detective Naomasa as he remembered the conversation he and All Might had about Kei

———————————————————————-

After a while, Kei finally made it to Jiro's house.

Once Kei was in front of the door he knocked.

After waiting for a few seconds someone came to open the door.

"Hello, I am Jiro's Friend, Naomasa Kei"

"Hello Kei, I am Kyoka's mother, it is a pleasure to meet you" said Jiro's mother

Jiro's mother had short, dark purple hair with bangs falling to the right side of her face and wearing glasses. What Kei also noticed was that she also had plug like earlobes just like her daughter.

While Kei was thinking of how much Jiro and her mother looked alike. Jiro's mother called her daughter to come out "Kyoka, your friend Kei is here"

Shortly after Jiro's mother called Jiro over. She led Kei to the living room, where Jiro's father was sitting on the couch.

When Kei saw Jiro's father, they both greeted each other.

"I heard from Kyoka that you are talented in the guitar" said Jiro's father in an interested tone of voice

"I am okay" said Kei with a wry smile on his face

"Now, now, you do not have to be so modest here" said Jiro's mother as she brought some tea for them to drink

"Mom is right Kei, you do not have to be modest" said Jiro as she made her way to the living room where Kei and her parents were sitting

When Jiro saw Kei, she smiled and said" thank you for coming over"

"I should be the one to say thank you for inviting me to your home" said Kei with a smile before he continued "to be honest, before I met you, I did not know anyone that is really into music like I am"

"Really, then it is a good thing that you and Kyoka met" said Jiro's mother with a glad look on her face

Jiro's mother was happy that Jiro had found a friend that had the same interests as her own.

"If I recall right, I remember Kyoka tell me that you created an amazing original song. Would you mind if I listen to you play it" said Jiro's father to Kei with a face that said he was curious to hear the song

"Would you be willing Kei, I also really want to hear the song" said Jiro's mother with a smile

When Kei heard both of Jiro's parents say they wanted to hear the song he had played. He could only say "of course I can play it"

Since Jiro's parents seemed really enthusiastic to hear the song he played. Kei reached for his guitar that was in a case that he had gotten from the woman that owned the shop.

Once the guitar case was on keis lap, he then opened it and took the guitar out.

Once the guitar was on his hands Kei positioned himself so he could star playing the song.

Just as he was about to play. He noticed everyone in the room with shocked expressions on their faces.

Just as Kei was about to ask if there was something wrong. Jiro's father asked in a nervous voice "Kei where did you get that guitar?"

Slightly surprised by the question Kei answered "after Jiro and I met, I kept looking for a guitar. Sadly I had no luck that day, so the next day I went and checked a few shops again. Luckily I found this guitar in a shop someone recommended to me"

When Jiro's parents heard that, Jiro's father then asked "Kei could you let me see the guitar"

When Kei heard that, he answered "sure, I do not mind"

Kei then handed the guitar over to Jiro's father. When Jiro's father grabbed hold of the guitar, he started to examine it. The more he examined the guitar the more shocked his and his wife's expression became.

Finally after checking the guitar Jiro's father then told Kei "you must have left a great impression on the shop owner for her to give you this guitar"

When Kei heard what Jiro's father said, he could only ask "is there something special about this guitar?"

When Jiro's father heard keis question, he answered "Kei you play the guitar and you do not even know, that you got an extremely rare guitar with you"

When Kei heard what Jiro's father said he was shocked. The only thing he could say to Jiro's father was "how do you know for sure, that this guitar is extremely rare?"

Jiro's father answered "well for one, it is signed by the luthier Oye Yasushi himself. As for the other reasons"

Jiro's father then told him every detail about this guitar, as well as the luthier that had made it.

When Kei heard all the details that Jiro's father told him. His expression resembled the same one everyone had a while ago.

'To think this guitar was so rare' thought Kei as a look of shock was still on his face

From what Kei had learned, the luthier Oye Yasushi was the greatest guitar maker in the world. His guitars were so good, that each of his surviving guitars are priceless.

'And I got it for such a cheap price' thought Kei

When Kei thought up to there. He remembered the other part of the deal he made to keep the guitar.

'I am going to play music in that shop every other week for the rest of my life'

When Kei was thinking that, Jiro's mother then said "honey, give Kei his guitar back. I want to listen to him play his song"

"You still want him to use the guitar, even though it is priceless" said Jiro's father in a shocked tone of voice

"Well, all instruments are made to be played with, not to gather dust in some display" said Jiro's mother as she encouraged Kei to play his song

When Jiro's mother said that, Kei felt better about playing the song on his guitar. Soon after he started playing the song.

When Jiro's parents heard the song that their daughter told them about. They had to admit that Kei was talented in creating songs as well as playing the guitar.

"Kei, let's go play our guitars in my dads studio" said Jiro as she stood up from the couch

"That sounds good to me" said Kei as he also started to get off the couch

Once Kei and Jiro got to the studio Jiro's dad had set up in his house. The two of them started talking about their favorite bands, favorite songs and many other things.

After they talked for a while they finally started to play some music on their guitars.

After some time had passed Kei said "Jiro, do you want to come up with our own song"

When Jiro heard that, she asked "you want to create a song with me?"

"Yes" said Kei without a hint of doubt

When Jiro saw how serious Kei was about this. She said "you are already good at making songs. Why do you want to make songs with me?"

When Kei heard what Jiro asked, he said "because it is more fun to do things together"

When Jiro heard Kei say that, she had no reason to disagree anymore.

"Alright let's make the greatest song anyone has ever heard" said Jiro with great confidence in her voice

"Alright, then lets get started but before that, can I ask you something" said Kei

"Sure, what is it?" Asked Jiro with curiosity

"Well, could I call you by your given name?" Asked Kei

When Jiro heard keis question. She was silent for a few seconds before saying "sure I don't mind"

"Alright, then let's start coming up with some lyrics Kyoka" said Kei as he was getting ready to write

And just like that Kei and Kyoka started the first of many songs they would play together.
