Chapter Text
"Is this how it's end?"
He thinks, as Kokushibo floats around an endless darkness—void. His body is a reform soul light as he's in human form, not the demon form monster he wishes or mind to see.
It's been 15 minutes since he died at the hands of hashiras. For him, it's like 1 year already, can't move, breathe, or even see something he wishes to see and feel—the fluot that Yorichi gave to him.
**Zztzt** **Zztztt** **Ztzst**
Kokushibo suddenly hears something.. Something that he doesn’t heard since his life.
**Ztzztc** **Zztxt**
"*What is this.. sound?*"
He thinks, but can't see where or what the sound is.
"It's almost there, ma'am!"
Kokushibo snapped his thoughts as he heard a lady voice in this endless darkness. He curses in his head as he tries to see what's happening.
But stop, as he sees something.. Something that it's impossible to clarify—a light.
"One more PUSH MA'AM!"
As the voice got closer. A strong light engulfed Kokushibo, who somehow closed it eye by the light.

"It's a boy ma'am! A boy!"
The nurse said with excitement as she held the baby. The mother looks tired, motions to see the baby. The nurse goes to her closer with a smile, while other nurses clean the blood and stuff that is used in the labor.
The nurse gently gave the baby to the mother, who took it and held it gently. The mother looked at the baby and smiled.
"What will you name the baby, ma'am?"
A doctor who carried the operation asks the mother, who smiled and looked at the dr.
"Zeftro... Zeftro Tsukuyomi."
She said.
The dr smiled and wrote down the name..
Suddenly.
The mother gasps, making the dr and nurses stop and look at the mother, who has a shock expression.
"What's the matter, Miss Tsukuyomi?"
The dr asks as he looks at the baby, who suddenly gets shocked as well.
The baby who was just a minutes year old. Has a mark(same mark when he was a demon). In his body, he slowly glows and covers some of the parts. They didn't cry but slowly opened his eyes.. Revealing the same eyes color of his mother-red but has a Cresent moon shape at his left.
"What's happening to my child!?"
The mother asks who holds her baby more protectively.
The Dr immediately looks at the nurses.
"Syringe, now!"
The Dr commands, which the nurses immediately react and give him a syringe.
The Dr gently takes a sample of blood from the baby shoulder, which the baby doesn't cry or flinch, which makes the mother worried more.
"Ma'am.. Please take care of Zeftro here.. I have a hypothesis that your child already awakened his quirk."
The mother shocked at the news but slowly nodded and looked at her baby.
The Dr immediately walked out of the room with some of the nurses. Leaving one nurse and the mother with the child.

**(Kokushibo/Michikatsu Tsugikuni: POV)**
Kokushibo, who heared the name Zeftro, opened his eyes with a shock.
"What?????"
He looks around the room as the nurse brings her to the mother. Kokushibo or now Zeftro look at his new mother.
"Impossible... is this.. Why? How?"
He stopped as he felt a hug. He immediately looked at his mother, who hugged him. He felt something he longly had never felt for centuries.. The hug of a warm, loving mother.
He understands the words of what the people are talking about, but the words **quirk.** That is something new to him. He sees a man with a white cloak, which he assumes a dr, who walks out immediately.
"Is this is... what they called a **chance**. I'll take it and.. be more rightful at my choices."
He thought to himself as he looked at his mother slowly touch her cheeks with his baby arm. which made the mother smile and nurse chuckle.

[10 minutes later]
The dr comes in and looks at the people inside, who also look at the Dr who is holding a file.
Dr. walks close to the mother and baby Zeftro while holding the results.
Zeftro looks at the Dr with her mother.
"So doc... can you now fully explain what happened to my child."
"Well miss Tsukuyomi.. Baby Zeftro here has what you could say. **Undevelope quirk.** This is a very or one of a million case where a newly born child will immediately aweken some parts of her/his quirk but only a portion of it."
The Dr replied, which made the mother more shoch with the nurse. Zeftro is still curious and wanted to know this **quirk** thing. Unfortunately, he instead make a baby noise which he immediately stop.
His mother look at his baby and smiled, then turned back at the Dr.
"So my son already awakened his quirk just some portion of it.. What is his abilities?"
Zeftro who immediately turned to look at his mother thinks.
"*So a quirk is a abilities.. Just like Demon Blood art.**"
The Dr nod at the mother and reads the document he brought.
"Base on the result i did... Even if he has only a portion of his quirk.. Its already a powerful one. Let me ask first ma'am, what's your quirk."
"My quirk is called **Echoe Touch.** When i touch someone or something. I can send a wave at the inside of the thing my palm touch. Useful when there is something I'm trying to find at some mess."
Mother replied.
Zeftro listen and finally and accurately now knew the word quirk.
**An ability which humans possesses.**
Zeftro stop and look around again.
"*Am i also at the future or am I at a different world?*"
The Dr nodded at the mother and continued to explain Baby Zeftro quirk.
"His ability... No, Abilities. Allows him to control his or any blood at his will.. This ability includes healing, constructing something by blood, enchantment of physical attributes, and more."
The mother and nurse jaws drop and immediately stared at the baby.
Zeftro who also listened was somewhat shock—mentally, as he thinks.
"*So my Demon blo~~~. My quirk is similar to my demon self.*"
Mother look at her child and smiled, then mumble.
"My child is strong.."
Zeftro heard and felt his heart beat. This warm feeling made him forget what was like once, when he was with his past mother.
The mother looked at the Dr again.
"I see.. and his mark is just an adjustment for his body to suit his quirk to him?"
"Yes..Also, since this is a case where the child supposedly name his quirk. You will be the one who name your child quirk since your baby is just a minute old."
Dr. said to the mother, which made her think.
"I like to name it.. **Moon Blood.** To fit the family name and the abilities of his blood control."
The Dr nodded and wrote it down.
***They all continue to chat for an hour***

[Day passed. 1:00 noon]
His mother carries you, as you both leave the room where his mother stayed. She now walks out of the hospital and waits for a taxi to stop by.
Troublesome. Zeftro tried to peak on the surroundings but can't, because of the way he was right now. You hear sound that is unfamiliar to you, people talking about heroes, villains, and the new generation of quirk individuals. Which Zeftro find it useful.
Little while later..
One taxi stop and opened the door of the back, as your mother smiled and walk inside with you.
"Where too, madam?"
"Musutafu streat, 56."
His mother replied to the driver, who nodded and start to drive off.
Zeftro finally has a chance to look outside the city by the car-window. He curiosity turned to slight shock and indifference, as he saw all the tall buildings.
Minutes pass by.
The car stop at the designation, where Zeftro could see a house far off to the other houses. Which he only can assume that his new mother must be poor.
The door opened as the mother paid the driver and walk out, carrying Zeftro with her.
The driver drove off, leaving us now. The mother smiled as she walk inside her house. She opened the door and walks in, she press something as light suddenly turned on. Zeftro eyes glance at the surrounding, seeing some furniture and stuff only good for a well-deserved life with little effort.
His mother walk to her room and opened it. She then walked to the bed and gentle lay Zeftro down.
His mother did some stuff as Zeftro watch her secretly. She then got a small blanket for Zeftro and gently put it to him. Zeftro watch his mother layed down and cuddle him close, which make him felt the loving warmth of the mother.
"*This... I will cherish this new life of mine.*"
Zeftro thinks as he fell asleep from her mother embrace.

[1 year pass by]
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU."
Zeftro mother smiled as she stop singing.
Zeftro mentally noted that his date of birthday is similar to his past life. This past months, he got enough information for him to know how life is now. What the future generations hold and whats the status and name of his mother.
**[Details about his mother/ family]**
**Ryea Tsukuyomi.**

Ryea carries Zeftro as she got a bottle with milk and start breast feeding him. Who Zeftro obligate drink the milk that her mother make9.
Zeftro is also glad since.. He can now eat human food again but still dissatisfied as he is still a baby who could only drink milk.
Ryea put Zeftro to in a babystroller which she bought for him. Ryea push the stroller out of her room while she text something on her phone.
Zeftro look what's happening as they went ouside of their home. Walking at the street while other people stared at them with respect and joy.
"Hey look. Isn’t that Tsukuyomi-chan? Is that her baby?"
"I think so... i heard that it's a boy."
The passerby keep on chatting about them, which make Ryea smiled at their topic. Zeftro annoyed at the whispers but secretly listening to the topic that holds, make a giggle(amusement) sound of baby noise.
After walking for a couples of minutes.
Zeftro found himself at a **park?** Which he's still not used to this kind of environment. Her mother—Ryea is talking to some strangers with Zeftro, assuming that's her mother friends.
All of a sudden.. Ryea's friend walk in front of Zeftro who's in the stroller and giggles.
Ryea talk to them of how proud she is to have a cute baby like Zeftro, who just curses at his mind in slight embarrassment.
They all continue to chat around while Zeftro listen.. Which make him annoyed but glad that he's gathering some useful information.
____________________________________________
[4 months later]
Ryea and Zeftro are at the hospital.
"So Doc... what happened?"
Ryea worriedly ask the Dr who hold a documents.
Zeftro listen as she is at a clinic bed-child. He was just trying to use his quirk at their house, but accidentally, get out of control as his quirk slashes some of furniture and hit his mother with a blood wip.
Ryea holding her arm where she got hit by Zeftro lost-controlled quirk is now bandage. She's much more worried about Zeftro health, which makes Zeftro curse at his own action and is glad that her present mother loves her like her past mother.
"She is fine, Ms. Tsukuyomi."
Dr said to Ryea, who smiled at the answer.
Zeftro let out a baby noise.. Which make the Dr and mother to look at Zeftro, who's now hand reaching out to her mother.
"Your child.. seem to understand your worriedness."
Dr said to Ryea.
Ryea chuckles and look at Zeftro.. She get close to him and carries him in her arm. The Dr look silently and smiled at the interaction.
____________________________________________
[Late at night]
Both of them is now at their house.
Ryea lay down Zeftro at her bed which is slightly mess-up by the accident.
"I should buy a new bed."
Ryea muttered to herself which Zeftro heard.
The mother lay down—close to Zeftro and cuddled him. She then start to sing a lullaby while patting Zeftro in the hips gently.
Zeftro glance at her mother and slowly fall asleep. Her mother look at her sleeping baby and smiled as she fell asleep with him.

[2 year pass by]
A little boy with long dark-purple hair tied in a pony-style. Dark-purple eyes with a crescent-shape mark on his left eye stared at a black-box with moving pictures and sounds—Zeftro. Was sitting at a mattress, watching on a black screen—Tv about news around japan.
"*Insolent... People who has dangerous quirk and use it to protect other, yet the enforcement called them villain for not having a license.. How Insolent the rules of the government is.*" He muttered to himself as he continue to watch the news.
"Zeftro.. Breakfast is ready." Ryea shout gentle from the table area.
Zeftro glance at her mother and nodded. He slowly stand up and walk over to the table.
Ryea look at Zeftro and bring him up to the chair. She place Zeftro food which is a small portion katsuden. Zeftro pick up the small utensils and starts to eat. Her mother also started to eat while watching Zeftro.
This past year. Zeftro slowly, carefully, and secretly training his quirk: "Moon Blood". He already learn to speak by a small portion and also was able to walk and stand more steady because of his quirk. Enchanting his ability to walk and stand, strengthening his strength and improving his ability to speak. He also started to train Breathing Technique secretly. He just wish to atleast get a wooden blade for him to train swordsmanship.
"Do you like to go to school?" Ryea ask her child.
"*Right... In this present, school is needed. Whether you want to become professional at something, you need to go through school.*" Zeftro thinks and look at her mother.
Silence before Zeftro nodded at her mother, who smiled at Zeftro response.
Little while later.
Taxi stop at a kindergarten school. The door opens as you and your mother walk out of the car. The taxi drove off as your mother walk to the kindergarten, which Zeftro followed behind, holding her mother clothe.
Both of them entered as a teacher of the kindergarten glance at both of you.
"Yes?" The teacher ask your Mother.
"Hello there.. I'm Ryea Tsukuyomi.. I'm here for my son." Ryea said as she motion Zeftro to introduce himself.
Zeftro glance at her mother and nodded. He look at the teacher.
"Zeftro... I'm Zeftro Tsukuyomi." Zeftro said to the teacher who nodded.
"I see. Well. Welcome. Please follow me." She motion for Zeftro.
Zeftro followed the teacher while her mother watch her son proudly. The teacher stop infront of the board with Zeftro, who was at her side.
"Everyone.. Gather around." The teacher said as all children looks and gather.
"We have a new friends here.. Go on." She motion for Zeftro to start.
". . . . Zeftro Tsukuyomi." He said to his other age.
The children whisper to each other, noticing his quietness and calmness. One speak—a boy with white hair.
"Hey.. hey.. Why one of your eyes has a crescent-shape mark?" He ask
The teacher notice the question, also look carefully at Zeftro eyes. The teacher look at Zeftro's mother, who just smiled awkwardly.
". . . . . Its my quirk." Zeftro said.
Gasp can be heard. Some with doubtful expression, other with excitement. They all now swarm Zeftro, they all bomb him with questions.
The teacher walk to the mother.
"Miss Tsukuyomi.. is it rea~~.."
"Yes.. it's not fully aweken but it's a portion of his quirk." Ryea said as she cut the teacher off with sentence.
Teacher look at Zeftro, who is secretly curses through his mind.
"All right, kids.. let your friend take some time to... play with you." The teacher said to the children, who instantly try to get Zeftro to their respective area.
While little later.
Zeftro is now resting at a secured place.. as other children start to fell asleep, playing with others about heroes and villain, and etc. One kid—the one who ask you earlier, walks to you.
"Hey... Name Touya Todoroki. Nice to meet you." He said to Zeftro.
Zeftro look at Touya and mentally noted: "He's older than others."
"Nice to meet you." Zeftro response to Touya, who smiled.
"Hey wanna know a secret.." He ask Zeftro, who nodded.
"My date of checkout about my quirk is coming close.. Wanna be friends?" He said.
"*. . . . That is not a secret.. whatever.*" He thinks to himself.
"No.. i dont wanna come, but I'm glad to be your friend." Zeftro said to Touya, who smiled at the response.
Both boys continue to chat with each other. Ryea saw that his child already have a friend, slowly leaves with a knowing smile.
Half day later....

"Did you have fun" Ryea ask her son, who nodded.
Touya look at Zeftro and his mother, seeing the resemblance of both of them.
"Touya"
A silhouette called Touya, who turned at the voice knowing who it is. Zeftro also look, curious on who called his friend.
"Mom!" Touya rush to her mother, who had a child carrying.
Zeftro and her mom look at the mother and son bounding. Zeftro look at the baby girl who is carried by Touya mother, which Zeftro assumes that is Touya younger sibling.
Touya pull her mother toward Zeftro and his mom.
"Mom.. i have now a friend. This is Zeftro Tsukuyomi. And his mom." Touya goes to Zeftro and pull him excitedly.
Touya mother just smiled at the two boys, then look at Zeftro's mom—Ryea.
