Red: Holy shit, guys. Thanks for all of the reviews. :D I'm glad you guys seem to be enjoying this story so far.

BenevolentBizzy: I thought about that too. :D The perfect woman for Saitama should be the only person who can withstand his attacks, and a badass Kagome would fit that position perfectly. ;)

Haziq47: And I don't think I necessarily did. It's not like I made Saitama weaker or anything, I just made Kagome a bit stronger in some aspects. And don't worry, I have my reasons for doing it. :P

CK: Thank you so much for the amazingly wonderful review. :D You said a lot of nice things and it makes me so happy to read it. ^^

Silly forest: I'm glad you find my plot interesting so far. :)

Scarlatta Rain: I love love-triangles too. xD And the fact that Genos and Saitama would be all for it as long as it's with each other makes it like a healthy love triangle with no jealousy between them.

Also thanks to these reviewers for their much appreciated reviews:

Summary: She thought the only way to save everyone from the Jewel was to not make the final wish, and instead, consume it into her body so that she could remain the protector of it forever. But by consuming its limitless power, the Jewel turns her into a monster that controls her and makes her kill the innocent and destroy the world. Now in order to save everyone from what she had become, she must seek out the one person who has the power to kill her—Saitama.

"Talking"

'Thoughts'

Chapter Two: Getting to Know Each Other

'W-where am I...

'Am I finally dead...?

'No... I can't be. I can still hear my voice.

'Why do I feel so hot?

'My body is burning...

'Am I in Hell? Can Mikos even go to Hell? If they can't, then I must be special to be the first. Ha-ha...

'...Right now is really not the time to make stupid jokes.

'Oof. Now I'm being crushed. What is this weight on me?'

An alarm began to ring causing the eyes of the woman to open abruptly from the sudden disruption. She opened her eyes to a white ceiling and a pressure on her chest. Even though her body felt heavy, she still tried to turn her head despite how much pain she was in. She was only able to move a little bit before a bald head came into view and an arm lifted up and punched the alarm clock through the wall. The sudden action caused her eyes to open wide with shock. 'W-what? Did he just do that?' she thought as she tried to move her body from under the bald man, but with no result.

The man, who laid on her, snuggled closer to her after shutting off his alarm. "I don't want to get up yet," he mumbled in his sleep. Kagome wasn't exactly sure who this man was due to her mind still trying to put all of the pieces of the past events together, but her instincts told her he meant her no harm. Well...despite the fact he was currently crushing her by using her as a pillow, her powers told her he didn't show any ill intent or dark energy.

She opened her mouth to tell him to wake up but her throat was so dry she couldn't make out a syllable without causing her throat to have a horrible sandpaper feeling. She let out a sigh after realizing she couldn't speak until she got something to drink, so she decided to stay in that position until the man woke up.

'Well...I'm still alive, but why?' She looked up at the blank ceiling. 'What is there left for me to do in the living world? Isn't my duty over? There's no reason for me to be alive.' Kagome's eyes began to sting with the feeling of tears. 'I've killed so many... I caused so much pain and destruction. I don't even deserve to be alive.' Tears began to slide down her cheeks to the man's sleeping face next to her.

Saitama's eyes slowly fluttered open when he felt something wet fall on his cheek. "Hm..?" He slowly gets up and yawns into his hand. "That was a nice dream I had. I actually was able to find an enemy who could fight me, and for some reason, there was a girl in it," he said to himself as he looked out the window to see that the sun was up in the sky and shining bright, showing it was late morning already.

Soft sniffling reached Saitama's ears, causing him to look down and see the girl that was in his dream was laying on his futon. "Oh." He looks down at her with his usual poker face. 'So it wasn't a dream.'

After sitting next to her and thinking about his dream, which wasn't really a dream, he finally noticed that she was crying. "Hey, you OK? Did you hurt yourself?" Saitama asked her. Kagome shook her head instead of replying back. "Can you not speak?" Kagome slowly lifted her arm, trying to ignore the pain, and pointed at her throat while mouthing "water."

Saitama got the picture and went to the kitchen to get a cup of water for her. When he got back he held out the cup for her to take, but she didn't move. 'Oh. She must be still exhausted from yesterday,' he thought, finally understanding the situation. He bent down and sat himself next to her while slowly helping her into a sitting position as he held the cup to her lips. Kagome began to drink slowly while she used the man's body for support since she was still weak.

A knock on the door got both of their attentions. "Sensei, I got my repairs," a male voice said from the other side. "I'm coming in."

Genos held up a plastic bag with food in it. "I picked up some of your favorite cabbage for yo—" Genos stood in his position stunned as he saw the new girl in Saitama's arms with a cup of water held to her lips. "Sensei, I didn't know you worked this quickly," Genos said seriously.

"Huh?" Saitama gave his student a weird look. "What are you talking about, dude?" Genos pointed down at the girl in his arms. Saitama looked at who he was pointing at and then back at his student. "She needed my help, so I'm just being nice and gave her some water. Don't be a creep, Genos."

"I apologize for my assumption, sensei. I'll go put the food away," Genos said while making his way to the kitchen.

Once the cyborg was gone, Saitama looked down at the girl and noticed she had finished the cup. "Better?" he asked.

Kagome nodded and gave him a small, tired smile. "Thank you," she said in a soft, raspy voice. Since her voice had not been in use for so long, she needed to give it time to adjust before talking louder.

"Oh, so you can talk," Saitama acknowledged with his usual passive face.

Kagome nodded again. "My throat still hurts a bit, but it's better than how it was before." She lifted her hand and touched her throat. "I don't know how long it has been since I've used my voice. I've been trapped in that monster for what felt like years—and maybe could've been."

Saitama slowly pulled her away from him as he helped her steady herself using her arms. "Maybe when you're better, you'll tell us what that monster was."

Kagome looked down at her lap. "I'll tell you some things, but there are many details I would much rather forget. Maybe one day I'll share them, but right now, I don't think my heart can take it." She grabbed her shirt where her heart was as if in pain.

Saitama nodded his head and gave her a smile. "That sounds fair." Saitama stood up and picked up the mug to give her more water if she needed it. "So what is your name?" he asked while walking to the kitchen.

"My name is Kagome," she introduced herself. There really wasn't a point for her to give them her last name. She didn't really expect to see her family again, or her friends, if they even wanted to see her in the first place after what she had done.

Saitama walked back to the living room and set the mug on the table for her. "I'm Saitama," he introduced with a smile.

"And I'm Genos, sensei's disciple," the cyborg said, taking a seat at the little table in the middle of the room.

Kagome looked at him and then at Saitama. "Disciple?"

Saitama let out a sigh. "It's a long story. But one thing led to another, and now he's rooming with me and wants me to be his teacher," he explained with a bleak expression on his face, thinking back to the time the cyborg just barged right in and stated he was suddenly going to stay at his apartment.

Kagome chuckled softly at the face he was making. "I guess you can tell me the story when I decide to share with you guys my story."

Hours passed and Kagome was slowly getting settled into the small apartment, which she guessed belong to the bald man who she had woken up to. She sat on the futon with a warm blanket over her shoulders and a hot mug of tea in her hands. She took a sip and looked at the two males at the table. "So, you're telling me the monster just appeared in that area you were sparing in and now it's completely destroyed?"

Genos nodded. "That is correct. With all of the damage the three of us contributed, the whole area was decimated. It was actually on the news about how they thought a dragon-level-threat-four monster had appeared there and was going to destroy the nation, but when they tried to look for it, they couldn't find anything."

Kagome looked down at her drink, watching the light reflecting off the surface. "That's because I sealed him away."

Genos looked confused. "Sealed?"

Saitama pointed to her forehead. "Is that why you have that black jewel on your forehead now? It wasn't there before when I saw you the first time."

Kagome looked confused. "Jewel?" Genos reached over to the shelf behind him and picked up a medium-sized mirror to give to the girl. Kagome set down her mug and took the mirror to look at her face, and sure enough, a black rhombus shaped jewel now decorated her forehead. "W-what? What is this?" She reached up to touch the jewel and even though she had barely brushed her fingers against it, she could instantly feel powerful energy tingle her fingertips. "Did the sealing make it become this?" she asked herself.

Genos leaned a bit closer. "If you don't mind me asking, but what is this sealing you mentioned?"

Kagome continued to look at the stone on her head. "In order to rid the monster from this world, I had to weaken him by getting my negative emotions under control, after Saitama said he wouldn't kill me, which I desperately wanted—"

"Not going to happen," Saitama interjected while continue to casually drink his tea.

"I had to think of another way to somehow lock the power away, so I decided to seal it deep inside me. Since the monster and I are one now, there's no other way to do it," Kagome explained. "While I was unconscious and was doing the sealing process, the spirit of the Jewel told me that even though he is sealed, if I don't keep my emotions intact, it could take over again and possibly hurt more people." Kagome looked at her reflection in the mirror, remembering all of the screams of dying families from her previous world. Kagome unconsciously gripped the mirror harder, causing it to crack and then shatter in her hands, making the two males in the room look up with surprise.

"Huh?" Kagome looked at her hands and the broken pieces of the mirror with confusion. The mirror pieces fell onto the futon she was sitting on and onto the floor of the apartment, leaving bits of glass everywhere.

"Oi, are you all right?" Saitama asked while Genos began picking up the broken pieces of the mirror and sweeping up the shards.

Kagome gave him a slow nod. "I'm fine, but I don't know how that happened."

Saitama helped her clean off the glass from her hands. "This has happened to me before too, you'll learn to control your strength eventually."

Kagome looked at him. "You did something like this before?" She thought back to the alarm clock from that morning. "I guess I can see that." Saitama gave her a confused look, which Kagome noticed. "I saw you punch the alarm clock through the wall this morning," she informed him.

Besides seeing what happened that morning, her powers also showed her that despite how this man looked, his very being overflowed with power that seemed limitless. She knew he was a human without a doubt, so it surprised her with how much power he had within him.

"Ah." Saitama looked at the hole in the wall. "Looks like I need to go buy another alarm clock," he said with a poker face, sort of used to having to buy alarm clocks often due to his waking tendencies.

Kagome began to laugh at his nonchalant attitude. 'This guy is something else. Nothing seems to faze him.'

"I got the glass off, but if you need bandages, I don't really have any around, since Genos and I don't really need them," Saitama explained to her.

Kagome looked at him. "You don't use band-aids? I mean, Genos is a cyborg, so I'm not too surprised he doesn't need them, but you're human."

He shrugged. "I don't really get hurt easily."

Kagome looked intrigued. "Huh. Now that I think about it, you saved me from that monster and yet, there's not a scratch on you." Kagome put a hand on his head. "It's perfectly smooth..." she said as she rubbed his head a bit.

Saitama got a bit annoyed. "Is that a hint about me being bald?" he shouted. "There's nothing wrong with being bald at my age," he grumbled.

Kagome covered her mouth with her other hand and began to laugh again. "No, no, there's nothing wrong with it. I think it suits you," she told him while giving him a brilliant smile.

Saitama looked at her with his mouth agape into a small circle. "Oh."

Kagome saw his expression and couldn't help but give him another smile. "What's with that look? Never heard a compliment before?"

Saitama continued to look at her. "I was just thinking about how you're a strange girl."

Kagome pulled her hand from his head and puffed out her cheeks. "That's not a very nice thing to say." She pouts.

Saitama was going to say something in reply when Genos came back into the room and sat back down at the table. "So what were you saying before?" he asked.

Kagome stopped pouting and looked at the cyborg. "Oh, right, I was in the middle of my story." Kagome thought back to where she stopped talking. "Well, what I wanted to say before I shattered the mirror was that I am fortunate you guys weren't in a huge populated area when I appeared, I don't even want to think about the amount of people who could've died by my hands again..." She gripped the blanket around her shoulders from the thought of what could've happened, all previous joy she felt a few moments ago completely left her mind, and instead, was being filled with the memory of fire and darkness.

Saitama listened with his normal expression on his face. "Hey, no need to get sad again, no one got hurt, so it's all good."

Kagome looked at the man in front of her. "But what about you and Genos? I know you're fine now, but did you get hurt during the battle?"

Saitama smacked his fist to his chest. "I'm pretty solid, and Genos here can get repaired anytime." Saitama thought back to the fight. "Although, I guess I can't say my outfit survived."

Kagome gave him a confused look. "Your outfit?" Saitama got up and went to get his outfit from the laundry room, where he had hung it up despite how ruined it was.

Saitama set the outfit on the ground of his apartment. "Part of it got disintegrated when the shadow tentacles wrapped around my stomach during our fight," he explained.

"Let me see," Kagome said as she reached out to take the outfit and get a better look at it. She picked up the ruined outfit in her hands to inspect the damage. "I'm good at sewing, but this seems a bit too ruined for just a quick sewing job." Kagome turned the outfit to look at it from different angles before setting it in her lap with a sad expression on her face. "I'm very sorry about your outfit, I wish there was some way to fix it back to how it was before the fight had happened," she said, solemnly.

Before Saitama could reply, a bright light covered Kagome's hands and the three of them watched as the outfit began to reform and fix itself. They watched with amazement at what was happening before their eyes. "W-what?" Once the outfit was pieced back together, Kagome pulled her hand back and looked at it. 'How did I do that? How am I doing any of this?' she frantically asked herself.

Saitama picked up his outfit and began inspecting that. "That's cool! I wish I could do something that useful!" He began to quickly change out of his pajamas and put on his freshly repaired hero outfit. "Good as new." Saitama turned to the new girl as she continued to look at her hands. "How did you do that? What other amazing powers do you have?" he asked her, excited for what powers she had to offer.

Kagome shook her head. "I'm not sure... I was never able to do that before. I could do a few things where I came from, but this is definitely not one of them."

Saitama grabbed his cape and looked at with a happy smile. "Well, now that you can do it, it would be great for repairs."

"Wait, hold on. I'm not even sure if I can do it again," Kagome pointed out. "I was a healer back then, not a fixer-upper of all things broken and ripped."

Genos analyzed his sensei's newly repaired outfit with his robotic eyes. "Either way, it seems like a useful skill to have if you are able to replicate it again," Genos chimed in.

"I'll try again when I find something worth fixing, but right now..." Kagome yawned into her hand. "I'm still a bit exhausted from earlier, so I hope you guys don't mind that I crash right now," she tiredly said as she laid back down onto the futon. Not even ten seconds later, Kagome was already fast asleep, lost in the world of dreams.

"That was fast," Saitama stated while looking at the sleeping girl and taking another sip from his cup.

"She did have her energy sucked by that creature from earlier, sensei," Genos replied before getting up. "If you don't mind, sensei, but I was contacted by Amai Mask saying he wanted to talk to me, so I'll be taking my leave now." He walked to the door. "I'll make sure to be back before dinner."

Saitama gave him a lazy wave. "OK."

Once the cyborg left, Saitama picked up the manga he was reading before and decided to wait for either the girl to wake up or for Genos to come back. He sat down on his futon, comfortably next to the sleeping girl and began flipping through his manga. 'I feel like this apartment is getting a bit cramped with how many people are staying here now.' He flipped the page of his manga. 'If this continues, I'm going to need a bigger apartment.'

Red: Thank you for reading. I'm sorry if nothing too exciting happened in this chapter, but don't worry, I added some action to the next chapter, which is already written, I just have to do some editing. :P It will probably be uploaded next weekend sometime.

Please tell me what you thought about this chapter in the reviews. :)
