All for one.
This would be the second time Kira took it. No. Third. First she borrowed it with the hair, then she took it from his original body.
It had killed her.
The pain she had felt was so intense she couldn't forget it...
Now she barely felt a thing.
Her arms wrapped around him. Tomura Shigaraki. He was kneeling, limp in her arms. He felt smaller than she thought he ought too. Him being a grown man and all. She held him up. Her wings flared out behind her.
The world seemed to slow. She could hear every breath. In and out. From Shigaraki. Not from her.
Black energy danced on her hands, pressed against his back and hair. Her hands on his skin as she slowly took it all. All of his quirks. All of all for one. Absorbing into her body again. This time she could bear it.
There was silence around the two. They sat on the corpse of his extra limbs. He didn't bother to grow any more, he probably couldn't. Sure it wasn't a quirk that allowed his body to do it, but holding all for one gave him energy. He didn't have the strength to change shape anymore.
He was quirkless.
But... He was alive.
Much to his dismay. And the heroes around him. Kira didn't think much of it.
"Kira... We are so proud of you." Nana whispered. Wrapping her own vestige arms around the two of them. She hoped that maybe.. Shigaraki could feel it as well.
"Kira? Can you feel them too?" Tammy asked her. Standing beside them with her eyes closed. She looked peaceful.
Tears ran down Kira's cheek. She closed her eyes too. She felt something... Like.. if she opened her eyes she'd see... She'd see her parents. Like they were there too. Their presence.
"Your parents are proud of you Kira."
It was one of the first things Tammy told her.
Then she explained how she could feel the spirits of the past because of her quirk... Because of how close she was to death, how she could peak in. Brush against the dead. Feel them. Sense their activity.
Kira didn't open her eyes. She knew she wouldn't see them. So she sat there with her eyes lightly closed, holding onto one of the last members of her family.
"I want to save... People who are like me." Kira whispered. "I could have been you... In another life."
"If I had known about her existence... I would have left Tomura to rot in the streets."
"I could have been either of you..."
"Because I'm you.... My body wasn't my own. Everyone was a god... But me... So I killed them. I killed them all. I killed the men who oppressed me. I killed those who held me down. I realized you were either a God or nothing."
She kept her eyes shut tightly as she felt her as well. But it wasn't the Mother character that looked over her like a dangerous dark cloud...
It was Oshita... A young woman taken from her home and abused until she snapped. Until she killed.
Sure... Maybe Oshita did have a choice to not become a monster. Maybe Tomura did too. They both declined though. They both became villains. Step by step.
Murder by murder.
Maybe the logical thing would be to kill Shigaraki now. One could argue Kira had done the right thing in shooting Oshita as well.
But... Kira didn't want to slip away after them. She wanted to be different.
Not for their sakes... But for her own...
She didn't want to be a God. She only wanted to save those around her... She wanted to be mortal she wanted to live and die. As good a person as she could.
She wanted to save people like her.

"We're not done yet... You're a fool Kira Kokoa."
Kira's eyes opened. Shigaraki's were still closed. He was... Unconscious.
But this voice in her head was...
"All you've done... Was give your own body to me."
She could feel him. All for one. Inside of her. The vestiges panicked. She panicked. As much as she could. He looked over her, choking her mind with his presence.
She released Shigaraki.
"All that work... To simply become the threat yourself."
"No." Kira whispered. She realized that by taking the last Piece of all for one she had also taken a piece of his consciousness. But she had forgotten that his entire remaining being had been inside of Shigaraki.
He reached towards her.
Hawks shoved her aside. As though that could do much good, it's not like the attack was real.
Kira spread her wings and launched herself into the air. While she still could... She had to make sure she got as far from everyone else as possible. She was terrified. Horrified that she could possibly become just another body for him to possess. She refused to become his puppet.
"Kira!"
She heard someone, no several others call after her. But she couldn't listen. Getting as far from the ground and the group as possible before they could be in danger.
She felt her mind cloud, her vision go darker. The wings stopped and started to slow. All for one fought against Hawks. Kira's body locked up and she screamed, clinching her teeth. Trying to surpass his will with her own.
But she had been losing it...
"Remember them!" Tammy yelled. Grabbing Kira. "Don't let him win Kira. Remember everyone. The school your friends your family! Remember Shigaraki even! Don't become like him please!"
Kira awkwardly flapped forward. Hands on her head. Her eyes peeling open...
Colors danced across her vision. Her eyes widened. She hadn't realized....
The sun was setting.
Her will pushed through for just a second. Her body completely her own. All for one fighting in her mind. Raging. Kira's body twitched and twisted. She choked and felt like All for one was trying to crawl his way out of her.
The only reason he hadn't was because the vestiges were fighting back. Holding him away from Kira as she stared at the sky.
Using the last of her strength she called a quirk.
"Warp."
She whispered.
"It won't work. You can't warp yourself with my quirk." The man with dark hair said with a frown. The owner of gloop warp.
"I don't need to warp myself." She answered. Suddenly she felt something fill her throat. The goo from his warp. It wouldn't teleport her but...
She deactivated it right as she threw up...
And she lost it all.
Like the flip of a switch it all shut off. There was no struggle. No goodbyes. Nothing.
The vestiges were... Gone.
And the pain was back. Kira screamed as her wings desolved. All for one was completely gone and with it every quirk inside...
Fierce wings...
Float...
Cloud...
Corpse.
Kira fell through the air. She felt burning pain everywhere. Especially in her legs and head. Tears ran from her cheeks to the air. Flying and then falling with her as she plummeted towards the earth. Like an angel falling from the sky.
She was lit up by a sky of orange and red. The sun blinding her raw and irritated eyes. But she looked into it nonetheless. Because the view was worth it.
If the wind wasn't so loud, you could have heard her laugh in that moment. Her chest bursting with pain and fear and anger and... Love. She was feeling again. Now that corpse was gone.
Even though she was dying again... She did so with a smile on her face. Because she got to feel again. Remember her emotions. How it felt to live. How it felt to die.
How it felt to love and lose. How it felt to be in pain and to be soothed. How it felt to laugh and cry.
She loved it.
How it felt to stare into the sun and feel its burn. How it felt to fall.
How it felt to die. She'd bear it gladly now. Without complaint. She stared at the mixing colors. Red... Orange... Yellow... Even some purple mixed in. It looked perfect. Almost as perfect as-
She felt a jolt.
"No you don't!! Damn it if I hadn't been fast enough..."
She felt arms wrap around her. She was falling slightly but now it was... Controlled. She felt heat, she smelled... Sugar.
Her eyes closed as they somewhat crashed into the ground. Crumbling against each other and hitting the dirt. Kira laid against him. Her mind slipping again. Falling into a deep unconsciousness. Managing to whisper one last thing...
"Has... anyone ever told you... You smell... Really good?"
