Chapter 4:Name

Ejiro Kirishima was having a dilemma. Early that day he tried to help out one of his classmates from some bullies only to be easily beaten and his "friends" were of no help as they only pointed out unoriginal he was and how weak his quirk was.

"How can I be a hero if my spirit breaks so easily?" he said feeling powerless to save anyone. He was currently walking home from school when he noticed one of the TVs in a store showing news of the mysterious child swordsman in green with Hanafuda earrings. He was helping out pro hero Lightning Max with a villain attack. The news reporter ended reminding everyone that he was committing a crime for doing vigilante work.

'Why can't I be more like him. He looks to be about my age and he doesn't look like he's afraid of anything. I wonder if he'll tell me how he does it.' he thought as he began to walk away from the store.

He continued down the road a bit before he heard a scream. He looked to see the scream came from two girls from his school with a giant of a man standing before them. He was well over three stories tall, wearing a massive cloak over his massive body. "Where is the Spring Hero office." the two girls were way too scared to even respond all they could do was cower. "Are you not going to tell me." He said as his hand began to crush the building above the girls."

'There's no police or hero around to do anything.' Thought Kirishima. 'Come on' he told himself 'move' but he was unable to he was unable to move past his own fears. He stood there wanting to move and be a hero that protected people.

Mina dashed in front of the giant in defense of the girls. "IT's two blocks down turn right and across the street."

"Thankyou" Said the Giant before he suddenly tensed crushing the wall causing rubble to fall.

Kirishima could only look on in horror as he saw his classmates were crushed. "MMMIIINAAA"

"Oh you know these girls." said a voice Kirishima turned his head to see guy from the tv the swordsman in green. Izuku Midoriya. "Would you mind looking after them." past him was Mina and their classmates. Perfectly safe. "Thanks."

"Huh, wait." Krishima didn't finish as he noticed that the giant was now staring in their direction. In particularly Izuku. Kirishima knew this was about to get real.

As Izuku began walking towards the giant, the giant began to shake, but not out of excitement. No he was scared the mountain of a man was scared of someone who was barely a tenth of his size. "Demon Slayer."

"Demon Slayer?" repeated Kirishima confused on what the giant meant.

"So you know who I am." Said Izuku as he stared down the giant with one hand on his sheath with his thumb on the hilt pushing his sword out just enough to see the blade. "Who are you, who do you work for?"

The giant couldn't answer as memories flooded his head. Memories that weren't his but scared him nonetheless. To him the boy in front of him was his longest and most dangerous enemy that has killed him time and time again. He felt true fear of countless before him as they faced their death at the hands of numerous swordsmen.

The giant then did something that none of the onlookers thought he would do. He ran. He ran down the street and turned down the first street. Izuku gave chase but stopped in front of the street the giant turned.

"Hey wait up." said Kirishima as he ran after them. "Demon Slayer wait." he yelled but as he turned the corner all he saw was Izuku standing in the street. "Hey Demon Slayer where did the big guy go?"

Izuku closed his eyes and sniffed the air. "It seems someone with a teleportation quirk grabbed him."
"A teleporter wait how do you know that?"

"It maybe hard for you to notice but if you look on the ground you can see that all the dirt and pebbles make a perfect circle meaning that a portal took it somewhere else." he said as he pointed to the ground.

It was hard but Kirishima could see a perfect circle of dirt. "Whao I would have never noticed that."

"Not many would but another big give away is the smell."

"The smell?" he sniffed the air and smelled something. "Alcohol I smell alcohol and definitely the strong kind."

"Exactly, there isn't a single bar nearby yet you can clear smell something like the inside of a bar."

Kirishima was impressed so was the crowd that was forming around them. Many of them wanting to know more about the newly named Demon Slayer. Though for him personally this was his chance to speak to him maybe gain something that can help him be a hero. "Wait Demon Slayer I got a question."

Izuku was about to leave but stopped and gave the boy in front of him an interesting look. "Okay what's your question?"

"How? How do you do it. Aren't you scared? Your not even in highschool and your taking guys on like a pro?"

Izuku tilted his head at his question and thought for a second before walking up to kirishima. "Do you want to be a hero?"

Kirishima a little unsure of himself. "Yes"

Izuku remembered something the Yushiro-sensei told him. 'Wisdom can come from everyone and from everywhere even yourself. You or whoever you're divulging the information to just has to be able to accept the wisdom your giving.' Then he remembered how it started with him.

"Do you want to go for a run?"

"Huh' that was the last thing he thought he was going to be asked. He was skeptic. "Sure"

Izuku gave a sunny smile before grabbing his shoulder and enveloping them in mist. When it finally cleared both boys were gone.

~o~

It was the hardest run of Kirishima's life but he pushed through. He chased Demon Slayer through the streets and back alleys. After awhile Kirishima was about to call it when Demon Slayer finally started to teach him something.

"Alternate the hardness on your legs." Kirishima was breathing too hard to respond but the confusion on his face was enough for Demon Slayer to get the question. "When I grabbed your shoulder you harden a little bit. Now alternate your hardness and absorb the shock from your legs."

Krisihima did as he said it was tricky at first but soon he got the hang of it and running became easier and so did his breathing. "Whao I can run." he said as he felt the wind as he ran. Though he stopped when he notice Demon Slayer stopping.

"Hand me your bag and your shoes."

"My shoes?"

"Harden the soles of your feet should give you way better traction then your shoes will."

After Kirishima got the idea he quickly took his shoes off and handed them to Demon Slayer. When they continued running Kirishima easily increased his speed. "I've never thought of this before." He yelled as he picked up speed.

Izuku grinned. 'This guy is a quick study' Alright now I want you to follow me, but I am going to begin some quick turns so harden different parts of your legs to turn easier so you don't lose speed or momentum." he said before speed through the alleyways of the city. Taking every quick turn he could make. Kirishima almost crashed twice but began to understand what izuku was talking about. By hardening certain parts of his body and keeping other loose he was able to turn easier and keep his momentum going. "Good your getting the hang of it. You got hardening quirk it does give you a small strength boost but your big hits will come from increasing your speed like a battering ram." Izuku turned down a long alleyway with a building at the end. "Okay were switching it up were going straight."

"Were going straight through the building." said Kirishima shocked. He didn't want to pay for property damage.

Izuku laughed "Just because your quirk seems straight doesn't mean it is nor should you be were climbing the building so everything you've done with your legs your going to do with your hands as well. Ready GO" he said as he dashed forward and went up the building.

Kirishima had come this far and wasn't going to back down. He made a quick decision on which parts of his hands to harden and rushed forward. He jumped and dug his hands into the wall as he tried to use as much of his speed as possible and climbed the side of the building. Even though he was tired but when he got the rhythm down he practically flew up the building. In fact he did he moved so fast his momentum carried him above the roof.

Lucky Izuku was their to catch him. "So what did you think of your first run." he said as he put him down.

"Thank" huff "you" Huff. said Kirishima before inhaling a lot of air. "I never thought I could climb a building like that or well really anything you just showed me. I'm not strong like you I could never do anything like this."

Izuku slapped kirishima's back more than hard enough to leave a good bruise. "Don't sell yourself just look at where your own hands and feet have brought you." He said as he pointed over to the other side of the roof.

Kirishima walked to the edge and say one of the most breathtaking views of the city he had ever seen. "This is incredible I've never seen the city like this before."

"The only way you can get a great view like this is if you get up here with your own two feet."

"But I'm only here because you brought me here."

"I guided you here i did not carry you i did not activate your quirk you did that and even without me you could do this again with your own strength."

Kirishima couldn't help but smile and blush a little at the compliment. "Yeah I guess I could do this again." though his smile quickly turned into a frown. "Though I couldn't do anything back their I was so scared I couldn't move. How can I be a hero if get so scared I can't even move?" He said as self doubt set in. "how do you do come your not scared."
"Are you kidding me I'm terrified."

"What, but you always rush in head first. You never hesitate."

"Do you remember seeing those girls almost getting crushed?"

"Yeah of course I do. It happened like an hour ago."
"Do you remember how you felt before you realized that they were safe." Kirishima knew that feeling. He had let them die. "Remember that feeling and make sure you never feel it again. The thing that scares me more than me dying or getting hurt is the thought that someone is going to get hurt because I didn't do anything. I don't want to regret anything."

As Kirishima listened to Izuku he couldn't help but feel like he heard that somewhere before. "Hey that sound like something Crimson Riot would say."
"Oh are you familiar with Crimson Riot?'

"Familiar. He's my all time favorite hero. He's so manly. He's a hero who doesn't back down and saves people and serves justice with a chivalrous spirit." said Kirishima enthusiastically.

"Well maybe you should rewatch some of his interviews their maybe something there that you missed." as he began to walk to the side of the roof. "The Fire escape is this way. You should try and see how much of your body you can harden at a time and for how long. Maybe do some training-"

"Wait hold it are you leaving?" asked Kirishima a little sad.

"Yep I still have a lot of things to do today and there is something I need to talk to my sensei about."

"Your sensei." Krishima couldn't help but wonder what kind of man he was. "Do you think I could meet him or if he would train me."

"I'm afraid not." immediately shooting down the request. "There are reasons why he can't train you, in fact the only reason he trained me is because his friend asked him to."

"Really what kind of hero was he?"

"Oh he wasn't a hero but he's been around a very long time and knows a lot. Actually a lot of my physical training was either done by his assistant or one of his friends he would call in. Like a guest lecture."

"So he's not some teacher who runs a school or anything huh" Izuku nodded dashing his hopes 'Man after seeing this guy in action i kinda wondered what his sensei could teach me.' "Ah man looks like I'm back to my own training."

"Speaking of your training. I think there are a few points you should focus on." Said Izuku as they began to make their way down the fire escape. "One you should stick to trying to increase your overall physical abilities. Two try and see what other moves you can do by hardening certain parts of your boy and what patterns yield what results. Three see how long you can maintain those patterns and how long you can maintain a full body harden state."

Kirishima quickly brought out his phone and began to type them down. "Okay I think I got it."

"Good, I'm no teacher but hopefully those ideas will help you become a hero." He said as he was about to say goodbye and leave.

"Wait i have two no three questions to ask before you leave."

"Okay, shoot."

"Why do you go around like this. Your pretty much doing vigilante work were you sick of waiting or something?"

"Huh oh no." said Izuku getting flustered scratching the back of his head. "I just can't really help myself. I don't know why but when I see people in danger my legs kind of just start moving on their own. I don't really mean to break the law or anything. I respect the laws and the heroes that enforce it. Mutter mutter mutter"

"Uh hey dude you okay. I think you left earth or something."

"Huh oh sorry Well i get flustered or think too hard I start to mumble. It's a habit I'm trying to break."

"Okay well next question."Kirishima had to make himself serious.. "Why don't you go home?" The question clearly caught Izuku off guard as his face began to fill with sadness and self disappointment. "I'm sorry for asking it but I felt that I had too. I've seen the news one day you just disappeared and then suddenly you just reappeared kicking ass and taking names. Your mom is on the news with a few interviews."

"I know I've seen them." Said Izuku as he gathered his thoughts. "I didn't want to go back as I was. I didn't want to stop my training and I didn't know what to tell her to keep her from stopping me or even how to tell her. "Izuku looked at his new friend in the eyes. Ready to lie. "That day I disappeared a man found me broken and beaten up. He knew I needed help and brought me to the man i would soon call sensei. One of my broken ribs punctured my lungs and needed medical attention. My sensei patched me up but I fell asleep for four days when I woke up and told them I had gotten into that state for being weak and unable to save somebody from a bully they wanted to help. The man who found me asked me to take a test. It was a tough mountain obstacle course. I passed and the man convinced my sensei to train me. That mountain showed me I could follow my dreams so when my sensei told me he could train me I jumped at the chance. Even agreed not to leave the mountain until I completed the first part of my training. You see I didn't have good control over my abilities and he was worried that if we left to soon I may be a danger to myself and others around me. I finished the first part within the first few months. To be honest I've been kind of avoiding going home. I know I should or at least call but everytime I try I freeze."
Kirishima digested everything he had just heard. "So nothing is stopping you from going home just you."

"Yep my sensi knows this and has given me a due date to go home before he drags me home."

Krisihima breathed a sigh of relief. "So your all good their then I guess the last question I got now is are you going to become a legit hero then?"

Izuku's sunny smile came back. "Of course that hasn't changed, I will become a hero no matter what. I will become a pillar of hope for all."

"Alright." as he raised his fist. "That's a goal I can get behind. I'll see you at the top Demon Slayer."

"Izuku Midoriya" as he bumped his fist.

"Eijiro Kirishima"

"Well then Eijiro Kirishima, keep up the hard work and I will see you at the top." said Izuku as he ran back to the mountain. Kirishima went home as well planning to go over everything he learned to day make a plan and watch an old video of Crimson Riot Izuku reminded him of, only to find reporters and police at his house. His night was only just beginning.

~o~

Izuku made it back to Mt. Saigiri as Tomo was finished putting Dinner on the table. "Oh Izuku welcome back."
"Hey Tomo do you know where sensei is, I need to speak with him."

"He's out back checking the little wisteria tree. He actually wants to talk to about that kid you kidnapped you didn't bring him here did you?

"What I didn't kidnap him. I was just trying to help him a little. He had some serious self confidence issues. He just needed someone to show him what he could do."

"That sounds familiar." she teased. Izuku could only look away in embarrassment. "Well you should go see him and good luck."

Just like Tomo said Izuku found Yushiro looking at the small wisteria tree in the back of the garden. Izuku bowed "Sensei I've returned."

"Izuku before we talk about anything else i need to ask did you tell that boy anything."

"No sensei I stuck with the lie we came up with."

"Good though I would like to hear about your day in detail."

"Yes sensei. Thought there is one part I need to tell you immediately." Izuku then told his sensei about his encounter with the giant. "He knew who I was and was scared. I've never seen this guy before and even I could tell he outmatched me. So why did he runaway?"

"Gigantomachia"

"Gigantomachia?"

"That is the name of the giant you meet today. He works for or I should say the man who created him was the man I warned you about. The man who reminds me most of him."

"All for One." Said Izuku remembering the stories he was told. The man who was more demon than man. A man who should be avoided at all cost. He had brought many heroes to their knees and killed at least ten times the amount.

"Indeed the reason that Gigantomachia was so scared of you is because All For One gave him more quirks enough to activate memories deep within them. Memories that don't belong to him."

"Memories?" said Izuku confused before horror dawned on his face at the realization. "What does that mean All For One knows about demons and about HIM."

"Izuku calm down. You see years ago All for One tried his best to learn everything there was to know about quirks sense his revolved around other quirks. He figured out a long time ago the truth about them."

"Wait you mean he knows about everything?"

"Not everything. He knows about the existence of demons and a little bit about the Demon Slayers and the history of both but not all of it. Years ago he tried to create a demon but the human physiology has changed to much. The quirk factor counters the demon blood to much so he failed but he learned that if he mixies to many quirks together or the right pattern of quirks he will get visions of the past so will anyone else who he has packed with quirks. It's why I warn you to avoid people with vision or memory quirks."

"Okay so what do we do?"

"For now nothing. We have no idea where he is or any of his associates. So don't worry too much for now. They have made several enemies, me included. They will be found eventually and will face justice just like he did so many years ago."

"Hey I don't mean to Interrupt" said Tomo coming outside. "But dinners ready. We better eat it while it's hot."

"We're on our way. Come Izuku. I think food will do us both some good."

"Right"

~o~

"Right, this doesn't look good" Said Detective Naomasa He has been reading the report and statement of Eijiro Kirishima. "The kid has been doing a lot of our work."

"Has the police gotten in any trouble?" asked Toshinori Yagi as he sipped some tea. They were currently at UA office going over all the information they had on the newly named Demon Slayer. They had brought the info to Nezu in hopes he might be able to shed some light on the situation.

"Thats something else that's bothered me." Said the detective pulling some info up on his computer. "We haven't gotten in trouble at all."

"Isn't that a good thing."

"I'm afraid your wrong All Might." Said Nezu. "When vigilante's start showing up the government is usually the first to get angry. Yet I haven't heard a single politician on the news talking about arresting Demon Slayer. This is quite odd."

"The principle is right." He said as he showed them his laptop. "These are all fromer vigilantes. The police had several orders to arrest each and every single one of them. Even the trio of vigilante's that saved captain celebrity had order to arrest on sight. But this kid hasn't got a single order from the government. The only orders we got are from the chief of police himself."

"So wait no one in the government has put anything out on this kid," said All Might shocked. He expected the government to be up in arms. "What about all the damages or laws he's broken."

"Nothing. If you watch any interviews all of them just deflect or don't answer the question. Well they answer but it just a politician answer that doesn't answer anything."

"Hhmm This is quite troubling." Said Nezu " If the government is going to such length to let this boy go and play hero than something must be going on. I've never heard of the government paying for the damages or reimbursement of a vigilante no matter how good they were."

"That's because they're not." Said a voice as the doors slammed open.

"Grand Torino" said All might not expected to see his former mentor. "What are you doing here."

"I called him here. I thought it would be a good idea to have him here aswell" said Nezu "Greetings Torino thank you for coming."

"No problem." said GT as he put several papers on the table. "I've been following this kid since he fought that sludge villain. I called in a few favors and I found something I just couldn't believe. Someone has been paying for this kid out of pocket."

"What but that can't be." said Nezu. "On my calculations alone the amount needed to cover all of these payments would require a small fortune"

"That would be if it was just the boys activities but several officials and construction companies have been paid off and to top it off every person involved in each incident whether they be villain or victim has had their hospital bills paid."

Grand Torino's statement left the other three in silence. Even principle Nezu had nothing to say.

"Principle Nezu sir. How much would something like that cost." asked All Might somewhat scared of the answer.

Nezu had to think a moment to figure it out. It was way too much for him to have the answer on the top of his head. "I can't make an accurate answer with this many variables but the amount of money needed, maybe around a national budget."

"WHAT YOU MEAN SOMEONE IS PAYING THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY IT TAKES TO RUN A COUNTRY FOR A KID." screamed all might as blood poured from his mouth.

"Well that makes it easy at least." Said Detective Naomasa wiping the sweat off his forehead. "We just need to check the top richest people in the country and see which one is missing a fortune."

"None of them are." Said GT getting their attention. "I found out about the government's lack of involvement in the first month for the past two I've been checking ever rich family every corporation, every government institution. Nothing. This money is coming from some private citizens with a bank account bigger than Japan."

"How is that possible?"

"It isn't" Said the principle "Or at least they couldn't have this amount legally. It would take several lifetimes for the average person to get that money maybe a whole lifetime for a rich CEO. Did you find where the trail leads."

"The trail ends with people who have been dead for over a hundred years. All the accounts that were used were even before I was born."

"So let me get this straight." Said the detective. "We got a very rich person supporting a kid with an impossible amount of money to legally pay all of this out of pocket using accounts that are over a hundred years old."

"The child in question has remarkable abilities. Who according to out files was born quirkless who now shows signs of several quirks and combat abilities that don't even compare to several pros." said Nezu "No one his age has ever shown such talent."

"But he's been using his powers for good." spoke All Might as he looked at the ground. "I mean he seems like a good kid."

Grand Torino almost smiled at his student. 'Still just a kid yourself Toshinori' "I'm not talking about the kid himself." He said "I will not deny the kid has done good. However we know next to nothing about the man who trained the boy. Who this mysterious sensei is."

"Villains have used kids before." said Naomasa

"According to his own mother he always wanted to be a hero" added Nezu

"I can only think of one man who has the power, money, influence and evil enough to manipulate a kid to do something like this. Let's face it this has All For One written all over it."

All Mights form began to enlarge as he changed into his Hero form. "Your right. I can't think of anyone else but evil demon."

~o~

"ACHOO"

"Sensei are you getting sick?"

"I'll go make you some soup, master."

"For the last time I don't get sick" yelled Yushiro
