Not long after the bank incident, Endeavor took us back to the agency and did a little lesson on the best way to use flames without them being fatal. It was a lesson I thoroughly enjoyed, though I can't say the same for Todoroki. He looked like he'd rather be anywhere than where he was.

It sort of surprised me, how careful he had to be. Endeavor got a lot of bad rep since he was so intimidating, but there was a lot he constantly had to think about during a fight so he wouldn't accidentally fatally injure an opponent. It was impressive.

He taught me an exercise that would help me control the heat of my flames. It was actually rather simple. I'd get a candle and meditate with it, I'd activate my quirk and "Fire It Up" then touch the tips of my hair to the flame. I'd then try and control the temperature with my breathing. It was clear that Endeavor had actually taken time to try and find ways for me to improve.

We breaked for lunch, a simple sandwich and drink of choice, then Endeavor announced that we'd be taking a train to Hosu City along with some of his sidekicks. Apparently we were hunting the Hero Killer.

Endeavor had recognized a pattern with Stain. He always killed 4 times per city, Hosu would be no different.

I tried to calm myself on our way to Hosu. I told myself that Tamiko was probably long gone by now and that there was nothing to worry about. Endeavor wouldn't be taking me there if he has confidence in my safety. But still, the fear that my little sister would show up was immense.

It was kind of pathetic if you thought about it. Being afraid of your little sister. It wa stupid, yet…..

She was terrifying. Ever since we were children she scared me. I'd always dred it when we'd spar. The fear only got worse when she accidently stabbed me when we were seven. Luckily I was able to get my hand in front of my face or else she probably would have taken an eye out. She was sorry, so sorry she actually burst into tears. I knew she hadn't meant to, but still. She was a vicious, wild animal. She was ruthless and relished in pain. If she was somehow able to get her hands on me now…!

"Kogami-san, are you alright?"

I gasped a little and turned to Todoroki who had his hand on my shoulder, an expression of concern on his face.

"I, uh, yeah. Thanks" I said with a smile, grateful to be taken out of that trance.

I'd be fine. There was absolutely nothing to worry about

There was a hell of a lot to worry about.

We'd arrived in Hosu with no incident. But not too long after we'd arrived, disaster struck.

It seemed that there were more of that, (What did that hand guy call it? A Nomu?), thing that All Might fought at the USJ. There were at least 3 of them, one of them had wings! And if that wasn't bad enough, Todoroki had disappeared. I guess one good thing about the situation was that Endeavor was there. Well, that and Tamiko hadn't showed up. So that's two things. Yay.

I was quickly told to stay out of the battle and to focus on helping civilians evectaulet. Normally I'd be disappointed to not be a part of the action, but after seeing the Nomu at the USJ I wasn't too keen on facing it's brothers.

So I accepted my task gratfuling and imditly went to work helping civilians.

I was in an apartment building when I heard it.

A scream. But it wasn't a scream of pure terror from what was happening outside. The one who screamed, a woman I think, had screeched, "No, stay away!"

I sped towards where the scream had come from, not sure what I'd find. I didn't think it was a Nomu, I wasn't exactly close to where the fight was happening and I doubt Endeavor would have let one get away.

I was close to where the woman was, but the screams had stopped. I bit my lip in fear of what could have happened, for the woman to stop screaming. I was afraid I might be too late.

I focused on my hearing, praying that I'd hear something, and lo and behold, the sound of glass breaking filled my ears. I barged into the apartment it came from, grateful that the door was unlocked. Once I crossed the threshold I froze in horror at what I saw.

There was a man, he looked to be in his thirties, around 6 foot. He was breathing heavily, sweat staining the business suit he wore. But sweat wasn't the only thing on the suit.

My hands shook as I focused on the women whose screams I had followed. I gagged at the sight, the urge to vomit immense.

The woman was sitting on the floor, back against the wall. Her expression showed that of pain and terror. There were so many stab marks. With how many there were, the man had obviously continued stabbing even after the women died.

I looked back at the man, unsure of what to do.

He was looking at me in horror. He could tell I was some kind of hero from my costume, he knew he was in trouble. So he did something desperate.

The man gave out a yell, eyes scared but determined, and ran at me brandishing the knife in his hand.

Shocked at his sudden movement I stumbled back, tripping over my own feet and falling to the ground. Reaching me the man straddled my legs and pinned hands up over my head.

"I-I don't want to do this, really I don't." The man stammered.

"But you saw and I can't go to jail, it'd ruin me!"

I struggled under the man's hold, tears forming in my eyes. I was going to die, oh my god he was going to kill me!

I screamed, eyes blown wide, as he plunged the knife covered in the other women's blood into my stomach, tears running freely now.

The man raised the knife again, preparing to stab me again.

"Damn you Hero!" He yelled

Hero. Hero. Hero.

My eyes widened as the knife came closer to piercing my flesh again, I shot my hair out and stopped his arm from moving and making him drop the knife.

"W-what - !" The man exclaimed. Squeezing my eyes shut with concentration, I used my hair to remove his other hand from pinning me and I pushed him off me. I grabbed the knife from the floor and threw it to the side. Finally, I punched him in the jaw, effectively knocking him out.

I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding, then a sob, my hand covering my bleeding stab wound.

Slowly, so not to jar my injury, I got some bandages out of my med pack and wrapped them around my middle. It wasn't perfect, actually it was pretty bad, but it gave the wound pressure and would work for the time being.

Now bandaged up, Shut my eyes in embarrassment, my face Turning red.

I'd forgotten I was a hero.

"Ughhhh!" I exclaimed, shaking my head. I was so embarrassed I could die! What kind of hero forgets about their quirk? Forgets their a hero!

Well at least no one was there to witness my, lapse in judgment.

I looked down at the man who attacked me, thinking about what I should do. It'd be a bad idea to leave him. He might wake up and make a run for it. I needed to make sure he was charged. I owed the woman that much.

Speaking of the woman, I glanced down at her once again. I probably shouldn't leave her like this….

I ventured deeper into the apartment and found what I was pretty sure was the women's bedroom. I took the sheet off the bed and carried it back to the woman and covered her body with it.

Satisfied with my work I activated my quirk once more and lifted the unconscious man up onto my back. I grunted at the additional weight and slowly made my way out of the apartment, looking back at the sheet covered woman before memorizing the room number so the police could come and get the body.

Slowly but surely I made my way to the nearest police station which thankfully wasn't too far away. When I entered it was chaos. Phones ringing, papers flying, people running all over the place.

"Hey, you're a hero student right? Didn't your mentor tell you not to bring civilians to the police!" An old man with glasses and greying hair came up to me, his annoyance quite clear.

"Oh, uh, this isn't a civilian." I said, gritting my tech in pain. I looked down at my bandage and saw that I'd bleed through it. Seeing this I let the man I was carrying fall to the floor and took out a second bandage, my last one, and began to take the first one.

"H-hey! You can't just drop him like that! Aren't you supposed to be a hero?!" The police officer asked, looking over the man for injuries.

After reapplying I turned to the officer.

"Um, I don't know if there's some sort of protocol I need to follow here but, uh, this guys a murder." I said bluntly, watching as the policeman spluttered.

"W-what!?"

"You should find the body in room 327 in the apartment complex a block from here." I said before promptly leaving the station. I still had people to save.

I got 4 more people out of harm's way before the battle ended and I met up with Endeavor and Todoroki. Though I was surprised to see Midoriya and Iida as well. Even more so to find out that they beat the Hero Killer.

But that was something to worry about later. I had a stab wound to take care of.
