I do not own MHA or its characters, that honor goes to Kohei Horikoshi
Author's note- Ahh, so it has come to this. I have decided to continue writing this fic, for anyone willing to read my chicken scratch that I call fanfiction I thank you and am glad to inform you to expect new content. Enjoy.
Inko midoriya sat still in silence. The gentle evening wind blowing outside can be heard from the still open door.
Staring at seemingly nothing, with no one to interrupt her, she kept herself company with her own thoughts. 'All I could do was watch as my son was taken away from me','slowly, but sure, he was overrun by whatever 'that' was ever since that first morning day'.
Deluding herself with thoughts like these she continued to sit in a never ending stillness. Convincing herself that what she did was right, that her son was gone before she even realized it. That god forsaking morning. If only he'd just stayed quirkless, maybe she could have kept her son. Whatever that thing was, was going to take away everything that was her son at some point, might as well have gotten it over with now, she thought.
Finally getting up, she slowly walked over to her phone with a glazed look over her eyes. Picking it up she suddenly changed moods. "Hello? I think my son is missing, he should be back from school by now but he has yet to return!" she said in a 'concerned' voice. "Right on it mam, we will send someone over to your residence and conduct an investigation as soon as we can","Don't worry, we will find him." The officer said in a serious, yet confident tone.
Inko put down the phone. She silently hoped that Izuku wouldn't turn up and be brought back. She counted on the fact that the 'monstrous beast' wouldn't want to be found, she made sure of that. So she seated herself on the living room couch, wandering in her own thoughts as she waited for the police to come.
At an unclear part of town
Izuku had ceased running and had just simply started to wander. Still not quite believing he was now on his own. He had no one. No friends. No parents. Just himself.
Heroes and cops weren't an option either because even if his own mother saw him as a monster, then they probably would too.
He thought back to what had transpired meer hours ago. He thought of the actions he did, and what scared the everloving shit out of his mother.
He remembered being hungry and smelling something incomprehensibly amazing.
'Wait, what I smelled was not coming from whatever mom was making, whatever she was making still smelled nauseating'.
Briefly clearing his mind, he thought back, every detail he took into consideration. Walking down the street, he was abruptly snapped out of his train of thought from the same heavenly smell filling his nose. Without thinking he started to briskly follow the smell. Weaving in between groups of people as he made his way towards the source.
He was led to a narrow alleyway, the scent was getting stronger and more potent with each step. Turning at the corner up ahead into an alley, he suddenly froze in his tracks.
There stood a man, knife in right hand, standing over the lifeless corpse of a woman.
Izuku just stood there for a moment, looking over at the dead body of the woman, the faint memory of his mother's cut finger filled his head. It suddenly all made sense. And he was terrified. Quietly he stood, as he shook before suddenly starting to feel …..Different. His thoughts were a jumbled mess as he fought the animalistic desire to run up and start devouring the corps.
The man, finally noticing he wasn't alone, looked back to see the figure of a boy. Shit. Taking a closer look he saw what looked like a strained expression lacing the boy's face.
"You just had to come walking by didn't you?!" the man said in a menacing tone. "Now you up and made me have to have a dead child on my conscience!" he shouted as he made his way towards the child.
Now in front of the child he brought his blade down on the small figure only for him to stagger back as he dropped a shattered knife. Looking up he saw glowing red pupils, unwavering, as they stared directly through his soul. They were menacing and frightening, yet almost ...strained?
However he didn't have time to think about it as the figure suddenly shot forward with the intent to kill. Dogging, the man tried to re-compose himself before feeling a sharp pain in his stomach. Looking down he saw what almost looked like a red muscle stab directly through him.
Coughing out blood he started losing consciousness. With the red thing retracting, he fell to the ground as he watched the small figure as it made its way over to his bleeding out body. A look of fear stretched across his face as we watched the boy tear into him. Vision going black.
Sitting against the wall of the alleyway, the trembling form of Izuku could be seen. With legs tucked into his chest he stared with wide eyes at the magled figure in front of him.
He had done this, he had eaten another human being and he couldn't even do anything about it. He truly was a monster. Overrun by the animalistic desire for food. His mind going a million miles a minute he just stared at the figure for what felt like an eternity. He couldn't just stay here. A hero or something would find the scene eventually so he had to get out of there fast.
Taking off his blood stained hoodie and stuffing it in a trashcan a few blocks down, he started to make his way as far away from the scene as he could. Broken and tired, he found an abandoned warehouse and took refuge for the night, shivering under the sharp glow of the moon. Softly crying himself to sleep the second time that week.
About a week later
Despite the best efforts of the police, there was not a single sign of the boy anywhere. Apparently the boy was last seen a week prior to the disappearance, told that he was apparently home sick. They were confused by this sudden development because this had contradicted the claim Inko's son had yet to come home after school. They also knew he was not ditching because her mother had made a call to the school explaining his absence before the disappearance.
Not getting anything but more contradictions, they decided to call in the detective Naomasa Tsukauchi with the quirk 'lie detector' and re-question the mother.
At the Midoriya residence
Naomasa arrived at the mother's house, a few cops in tow as they entered for another round of questioning.
"When did you figure out your son had gone missing?" Naomasa asked in a calm tone.
"I was p-preparing dinner when I realized that my son had yet to come home from s-school" Inko replied, stuttering slightly.
Naomasa wrote something down on his clipboard before stating,"we have received news that your son was home sick on the day of the disappearance, care to explain?"
Inko widened her eyes slightly, with still lingering stress from everything going on inside her head she had completely forgotten about that. Idiot.
Taking silence as his reply Naosama sighed, "you claim your son had gone missing on his way home from school, however we have evidence that your son was home for a week before his disappearance. So I will ask this, What made your son disappear?"
Finally snapping under pressure, Inko whispered something that neither the cops nor Naomasa could hear. "Could you repeat-"
He was cut off by the woman screaming "IT WAS ME OKAY?! I YELLED AT HIM TO LEAVE AND NEVER RETURN!" crying she stopped for a moment, breathing hard, "HE ONE DAY SUDDENLY COULDN'T EAT ANYTHING AND WAS STARVING FOR A WEEK BEFORE SHOWING HIS TRUE COLORS! HE WAS A MONSTER WHO SIMPLY RESEMBLED MY SON!" she was not done, "my son is gone" she wept, "slowing being consumed by something that I was too blind to see, I simply got rid of a pest who would have eventually consumed me too."
There was a deafening silence, looks of shock on everyone's faces as they processed what was just said. Shadows covering Naosmasa's face, he stood up, simply saying "I've seen enough", before leaving to let the cops to haul Inko to the station for further questioning.
Author's note- whew, another page done. I apologize that these pages aren't very long, however I currently feel this is the best way of making these chapters. Making a couple a week instead of making one super long chapter once a week. I don't think for one second that my upload schedule will be consistent in anyway however, so no one get your hopes up. Hope whoever reads this enjoyed.
