Chapter IV - Meeting
A month after Tsuna and Fon's disappearance
Midoriya Izuku, after the death of his supposed mother, he was saved and entrusted to Fon; who had trained him further in his close-combat abilities alongside with Tsuna. After two years of stay with the two of them in a certain cottage in the mountains, the two had mysteriously vanished.
Izuku was left on his own once again. 'Even for a bit... I want to see you guys again. That's why I can't stay here, but even so... what am I suppose to do? I have no leads, not enough information.'
"Izu," Called by his nickname, Izuku looked out from the flight of stair from the veranda.
"Sho-kun..." Walking to his direction was his best and childhood friend.
"So they're still not coming back...?" His mismatched eyes withholding much of the sadness and pity he felt for his best friend.
He nods to him in reply. "Did... Did I do something wrong?"
His friend let out a sigh and sits beside him. "I don't know, though I am sure that isn't the case. Even before, when I just met them, I already knew, the two of them treasure you as a family, same as you did for them."
Just as he said that, they were left in complete silence for a few minutes before 'said-friend' had continued. "Izu, I'll be going back to Japan in a few days time. Since my mom knew about your situation, I'm sure she won't mind you, my dad's not home that much and I'm sure he won't mind much of an additional person in the house."
Izuku looked at him, bewildered. "Huh?"
"Izu, you helped my mom and I to reconcile, but you as my friend, was more than as a reason for me to help you. Please, Izu, think about it." He pulled him for a hug.
"I'll think about it..."
Izuku had him stay for the night since the other can be quite the over thinker when it comes to it. But even so, which will he choose? Stay here or back to Japan?
Days have passed and the time for departure comes near. "Sorry Sho-kun, but I can't go with you."
"Izu..." Before he could even speak, a white-haired lady had scooped Izuku into her arms.
"It's alright... but I hope you won't mind contacting us once in a while?"
"I will, the two of them left a huge amount on my account, so I think I might even come and see you guys for some time." he says as he hugged back.
"Izuku..." He raises his hand for a fist bump. "I'll hold you on to that, when we see each other again, I'll show you a real hero material. I'll be your hero."
Izuku returns the fist as the mother of the other smiles gently on the scene. "You already are, Shoto."
After a few minutes the two had parted. 'This is for the best...'
"Two years... Another two years, I'll wait and search... Tsu-nii, Fon-sensei. I'll use whatever way there could be, be stained even."
Just like that, he threw himself into the various fields of heroics department, to the cruel underground society. He never forgets the phrases his beloved family had parted to him through the days he went through.
Days turned to weeks, and then months, before he even noticed, another year had passed. Through his search in the past year, he had found peculiar information regarding the items that was given to him by his brother figure and master.
His search in the underground society made him aware of the various factions of quirkless people with another type of power, that which they call as Dying Will Flames. Through a certain incident that had occurred on his route, a pursuer had seen his face, he had found out the meaning of the items he held.
That pursuer was quirkless, he was sure of that, he brought up a ring and ignited it; similarly to how he saw his brother figure did some time in the past. Defeating the pursuer in a rush, causing more harm to himself than anything else, he quickly gave in and gave him the info he wanted; about the secrets of the underground, the rings, the flames, and most importantly, about the arcobaleno.
That encounter had left him with grave injuries since he was almost found out by another batch of pursuers, even after all the skills he managed to cram in his small body, it's not like it can withstand it that much until later. Coincidentally, the second year of hunting and waiting, he had a faithful encounter with a family member of Fon.
Hibari Kyoya, the boy's got the bloodlust for hundreds. 'Uwaa, remembering the events of that day, he's a true carnivore to say the least.'
Flashback
Izuku was on his way back home when he saw a streetfight between a group of adults and another boy around his age in an alley. 'Streetfight?'
The boy had a pair of tonfa out and strikes the adults mercilessly, when another adult had brought out a gun, Izuku sprung into action. He kicked the gun out of the man's hand and hit him unconscious, to the action had gained the attention of the others around him.
Needless to say, the other boy of his age had smiled upon seeing him. "Wow..."
Before continuing to beat the thugs around him once again. "Don't move from there, else, I'll bite you to death."
No need other confirmation, the boy's a nutjob. "Who would?!"
He took out his fair share of thugs before running out of the alley back to the cottage. 'What was with that guy... he's ferocious.'
An hour of brisk walking and tree jumping, he arrived at the cottage, only to see a peculiar surprise. "What are you doing here?!"
The boy before was in front of the cottage, his unwavering, gray eyes looked to him, his hair whish along with the wind that had passed. "I should be the one questioning you that, this place belongs to one of my family."
"Family... you mean Fon-san?" Earning the recognition from his face from the name, the boy carefully took his stance.
"Hmm... then you must be his disciple..." Without holding back, the boy had took out his tonfa and unleashed another barrage of attacks on the other.
Izuku guarded and retaliates by giving out a kick of his own, withholding the tonfa from hitting him. "Wow, you're actually withstanding it..."
Without another word, he pushed down his other tonfa on the other side; Izuku dodged it by jumping back. "Why are you attacking me?!"
"I'll bite you to death." Yeah, he was smiling all the while saying it.
"That's not really an answer!"
The boy's creative, that is to say, the fight went on for hours until it was almost sunset. "Hmph, I'll come back again tomorrow."
Izuku's down on the ground, a mess. "W-wait..."
He carefully stands and asks him. "You never told me your name... I'm Izuku, Midoriya Izuku."
"Hibari Kyoya." Hibari was about to walk off again before Izuku stopped him again.
"Just stay here for the night... It's a long way down the mountain around this time."
"Hn..." Hibari changed his direction back to the house, to which Izuku had welcomed him so.
End Flashback
He is now to enter Junior High School, Hibari was really egging him to enter Namimori Middle School, but since he already knew the ulterior motive he had upon entering, he kindly declined the offer. Still, the price he paid for it was painful. 'I think I can still hear my body screaming at me when we were sparring.'
Still, the older male never let him go out of his sight; he forcefully brought him back to Namimori and enrolled to one of the high schools.
"Choose, you live with me or I'll bite you to death." The glare Hibari was giving him was said to freeze hell.
"None!" The tonfas were out in an instant. "Wait! Wait! Why are you always resorting to violence?!"
"I'm not one for patience, I advise you to hurry up and give me your answer."
"I'm already telling you, I'm waiting for Fon-san! I can't just leave..."
"Hmph, the guy's been missing for a few years now. I've been hearing rumours about him having an apprentice but I don't think you're the one that's in the rumours. You're a mystery, that's why you need to come with me."
Letting out a sigh, Izuku scratches the back of his head. "Look, I don't want to impose-"
"You're a punch-, a specimen, so you're not imposing."
"You just said it! You said it! Aaaah, look, listen to me! Rather than imposing, as much as you're Fon-san's nephew, I just can't..."
Reaching the end of his patience, Hibari took a surprise turn and hanged Izuku on his shoulder. "You're coming with me, that's final."
Izuku had felt his impending death if he struggled, and thus... he resigned to his fate, and for some reason, the uncle and nephew had the same tendency. One phone call and a plane was readied for him.
"Your belongings will be shipped at a later date, your other papers for transferring will also be processed accordingly."
"Hibari-san-" Hibari gave him another glare. "I won't be complaining anymore about going with you to Japan, since I'm already here and all... but still, I won't live with you on the same house! I have my own money, well to be technical, mine and the ones left by Fon-san and nii-san."
After he said that, the both of them were silent, before Hibari had thrown a key to him. "You'll be staying with me for a while when we arrived, after that, you're on your own."
Just like that, he was stormed off his feet once again. 'I really wish this won't be a normal occurrence in my life... Why do I doubt that? Ugh...'
'Still... it will be a good change, I hope. Since that place was almost discovered by my last intrusion.'
Just when did Izuku zoned off? He didn't noticed, the next moment he woke up to was when they arrived at the airport. "Huh?"
"We've arrived, get up."
Izuku silently followed Hibari out of the airport. Seeing the view of the whole town gives off the bit of familiarity he always felt whenever he was around his old house. 'Why is that...?'
Since it was a week before his belongings arrived, he got toured around the town by Kusakabe, the second in command of the disciplinary committee made by Hibari. Everything that had to be processed were either finished by him or silently done by Hibari.
"Kusakabe-san... this may be a weird question..." Kusakabe stops and looked back to him.
"Well, there're a lot of things that already happened here, so I think I'm prepared for whatever you may have."
"Actually... you just indirectly answered it."
"Huh? Glad to be... of help?" Trails off Kusakabe. "Well, it won't be too long before you enter Middle School, just two more weeks!"
"I really do wonder if my sanity is still intact."
"Don't worry, it's still there, though... I'm not really one to tell." After he said that, he stopped on his tracks, he looked like he have something to ask.
Izuku narrows his eyes. "Out with it."
"Ah. Well... Kyo-san's famous around here y'know... for various reasons..."
'It's really obvious, he bites' almost anyone who crowds in his point of view.' "And then?"
"Well... I'm wondering how are you holding up for the past few days with him?"
'Ah... of course he's curious.' He blinks out his thoughts. "Well... to say it simply... it was bruising, especially with the constant spars he wanted everytime he got the time."
"And you're still alive?!" A little more higher and he would've squeaked. 'The kid's another type of monster as well?'
"No, I'm not that kind of monster, nor do I have a quirk." Blandly states Izuku. "And another no, I'm not a mind reader, you're just an open book."
Once they rounded the next corner, they arrived at their destination. "Ah, we're here."
"Don't you think it's a bit big? I'll be living here alone... Well, taking into account on who bought the house, it's no surprise, he got another reason for it probably."
"Kyo-san had the movers' set-in your belongings in your room, and... same also with the other furnitures."
"I'll have to thank Hibari-san for that..."
The house's a traditional Japanese house, complete along with the rock garden. For some reason, his room was completely different from the design of the house.
While the house was completely tradition, his room was more like his room back in the cottage. In a way, it was modernized.
Another thing that caught his attention was the set of kimono and haori(s) in a walk-way closet in one of the rooms... But what really scared him the most was the fridge.
Izuku was flat-out staring at the fridge. "Is there something wrong with the fridge?"
"Why is it fully stocked?"
'Is there something wrong with it fully stocked?" Asks a bewildered Kusakabe.
"It was the same thing when I arrived at Hibari-san's house... mansion rather. While the cooks would kindly cook food for him, he would eat little as much, but whenever I'm at the kitchen, he would raid it."
"T-That's a bit farfetched, even for Hibari-san."
"I guess so..." When Izuku looked at the time, he noticed that it was almost getting late. "Ah! I have to buy something today!"
"Huh? Maybe you can buy it tomorrow? Since it's getting late and all."
"Maybe, but I want to get things ready before I get started." Huffs Izuku as he tried to kick Kusakabe.
"Y-Yeah..." 'I would've thrown off my feet if I wasn't used to Kyo-san pointing his tonfa on me.'
Since Izuku adamantly refused to have Kusakabe follow him to the shop he was going, he split up with him on the way to the market place. After getting the things he needed, he took a long path back to get used to his surroundings.
'This town's mundane... Well of course it is, most of the people here are either quirkless or have a weak one. The crime rate... I do wonder how things work here.'
While walking near the river, he noticed a bunch of other bullies ganging up on another boy on the ground. 'I guess something never change...'
Jumping out from the road, he high kicked the guy who was about to hit the frail boy, dodged the punch going at him, kicked the assailant on the stomach, followed by a punch to the gut to the other going at him. Noticing that the bullies are already on the ground, he hurriedly took the other boy's hand and ran.
Gaining some distance from the bunch of bullies, the two had stopped. With Izuku letting go the hand of the other boy, he fell on the ground, panting. "Y-You're amazing! K-Kicking those guys non-stop!"
"Thanks! But, are you all right? Those will bruise for a while..."
The boy before him looked down, before looking at him with a wide smile. 'Huh? This boy...'
The boy before him bore the same characteristics as his brother figure. Those fluffy, gravity defying brown hair, and doey brown eyes, there's no way he could mistake them for anyone.
"Y-Yeah! T-This always happen t-to me so it's not r-really a big deal anymore!"
He crouched to his level and brought out a towel. "This will hurt so stay with me..."
He cleaned the wounds to the best he could and brought out an ointment. "This one works really well for things like this, so I hope it will help it lessen the bruising."
After applying the ointment, he stood up before helping the other to do the same thing. "Is your house near?"
"E-Eh? Y-Yes!"
"Then-" Before Izuku could even finish what he was to say, he was cut off when his phone vibrated. Looking to who was calling him, he paled considerably. "Not good... err, hello? Eh? Yeah... I'm on- EH?! How does that- No! Ah, wait!"
Just to whoever Izuku was talking to in his phone, it rather seemed like it didn't end well. "Uwuu..." He looked back to him. "I would like to walk you home but..."
The boy started to flail around his arms in denial. "Eh? Ah, no! It's fine! Y-You already help quite a lot for t-treating my wounds!"
Izuku smiles kindly to him. "It's nothing! Oh, and before I leave, here." He handed him a lucky charm. "You can't open what's inside, it's a lucky charm after all. Take care on your way home! Tsunayoshi-san!" After that, he ran off to the opposite direction the two were at, leaving the other boy alone with his thoughts.
'Huh? When did I tell him my name?'
We're finally getting to the KHR side! Yes!
I hope you guys liked it and see you on the next chapter~!
