Chapter 5: The girl in the Box
Izuku wondered about some of his masters friends he just got done doing a small delivery. The man had a screw going through the side of his head. Izuku asked if it had something to do with his quirk and said his friend in america accidentally put it their.
Izuku was just happy that was going back to america his deliveries were just weird. Though he wondered about the girl he mentioned. Apparently Izuku reminded him of one of his students that uses a scythe.
Izuku was broken out of his thoughts as his phone buzzed. He checked the Id and say it was Tomo. "Oh hello Tomo-chan."
"Hey Izuku you get that delivery done."
"Yep"
"Well take your time coming back. Masters meeting with the scientists is going a little longer than expected. Apparently they really want him to be apart of some program on I Island, but they don't want to give out all the details."
"That will never workout well." Izuku knew how much his teacher hated working on a project if he had no idea what exactly its for.
"Anyway dinner gonna be late so if want to get snack on your way back go for it. Take a bit of a break, I saw the news nice job with the bear guy."
"Thanks will do. I'll see you later." as he said goodbye Izuku hung up. When he did his phone flashed the date. The date to reunite with his mother was just one week away.
Izuku was scared he felt terrible leaving his mother the way he did. He made his decision and he was going to have to live with it but none of the secrets or training he learned were a good enough excuse leaving his mother the way he did.
He knew she was doing okay. His teacher sent one of his cats(Who his mother named Chacha) to watch over her. The cat comforted her, made sure she got to work on time and also "accidentally" sits on her phone and dials Mitsuki's number whenever she's feeling down. Though it didn't make him feel any better.
He knew he was really the only one in her life. His father only called after he saved Bakugo the only thing his father has really done since he left was send more money to his mother. Though his mother stayed strong and from what the cat has informed us, she was preparing for his return. He stilled wondered how his sensei taught a cat how to use a phone or even type for that matter.
"Don't worry there will be more crying then there will be yelling."
Izuku froze as he turned his head to only find a very cute girl in a pink Hiyori right in front of his face. 'When did this girl get so close. I didn't hear her or sense her at all. Who is this girl.' thought Izuku as he got a closer look at her. 'Wait I know this girl.' "Are you Tanjiro's sister. Nezuko?"
She smiled as she looked at Izuku fondly. "You really are like my brother." she then turned and began to walk down the street. "Come, there is someone in need of you."
Izuku didn't hesitate and began to follow her down the street. Ignoring the onlookers and fans. 'I wonder can they see her or is it just me?' As they turned down into an alleyway. As they delveled deep Izuku was wondering who she had asked him to help.
She then stopped. Izuku looked around and couldn't see anyone in sight. He was about to ask when she kneeled down to a cardboard box and slowly opened it. Izuku was surprised to see a small girl with white hair red eyes and a small horn on her forehead, but what got his attention was the rags she was wearing and the bandages on her arms and legs. 'Whatever monster did this will know my blade.'
"Don't worry little one. This man her is the hero that will help you." said Nezuko trying to reassure the girl. The girl stilled seemed frightened but her words eased her even if it was just a little. "This girl has been through a lot. I've helped her as much as I can with the time I have. Do you think you can take care of her from here."
Izuku gave the girl his brightest smile. "Don't worry I will protect her. I will protect you."
"Wait miss." said the girl "Your not going to leave me. Are you?"
"I'm afraid so."
"But but." the girl began to cry. "Your the first person to ever help me you-you, please don't go."
Nezuko gave her a big hug. "I'm so sorry little one. You deserve so much better but I can't give you that the most I can do is make sure you are in good hands and this man's hands are the best. My brother helped him when he was in need and he will help you." with those words Nezuko faded. "You will be safe your hero will help you."
After seeing Nezuko disappeared the girl got scared and hid herself in the box. Izuku slowly approached the box knowing that the girl was watching him from inside. "Hey don't worry I don't know who did this to you but I promise I won't let them hurt you again." she didn't respond. She just continued to watch him from the cracks between the cardboard slits. "Come on I know some place safe where we can go. So how about you come out of that box-"
"NO' yelled the girl yelled. "Nezuko said this would keep me safe. It keeps me away from them. It keeps others from my curse. They can't find me in the box."
"Okay. Did Nezuko tell you the box was safe like the one she had?" asked Izuku remember the tale of Nezuko.
"Yeah" she said opening the box slightly. "Did you know her."
"In a way, yes I do know her. She had a wooden box that kept her safe while she traveled with her brother. Oh i have an idea we'll just take the box with us." He said as he grabbed the sides of the box. "Ready one two three." as he lifted the box withe girl inside. "Can you tell me your name."
"My name is Eri."
"My name is Izuku Midoriya. Are you Hunger?"
~o~
Every person who was in the McRonalds went silent as they saw the now famous Demon Slayer walk in to the fast food restaurant talking to a box. He put the box down onto the table and ordered a chicken sandwich and some apple slices. The manager made sure they got his order done quick but she had them double check to make sure they got it done right. Meanwhile he sat down at the table and then began to talk to the box again. It confused everyone until the manager brought the food.
"Here you go sir one chicken sandwich and apple slices." said the manager as she put the food on the table."
"Thanks." said Izuku as he grabbed the apple slices "here you go Eri apples just like you asked." To everyone's surprise a little girl popped her head out grabbed the apples and shut the box. Izuku saw their confusion, as well as fast movement outside the window. "I kinda found her hiding in this box. I couldn't just leave her there and saw she was hungry so I came here sorry." He said as he bowed to the other customers and the manager.
"Oh it's no problem sir." said the manager bowing back. "In fact I'm happy my store could be of service."
"Thanks here." he said has he handed her several bills."
"What no there's no need to give us more you've already over paid sir."
"I insist we've caused quite a commotion here so please take." He said giving her a sunny smile she couldn't refuse. She left the two to eat. As Izuku ate he kept talking to Eri. Even though she never said anything back she stayed in the box, he kept telling her stories of his training, his sensei's cat, and even his mother. "You know my sensei once told me he meet the devil at a McRonalds once. Said he worked here. Probably just some guy who messed up his order." 'I'm who could imagine the devil himself working part time at a fast food restaurant'.
"Umm excuse me sir." Izuku looked and saw a man in a cheap suit with a scar across his bald head. "I'm so sorry that my girl caused you so much problems. If you don't mind, I would like to take her home."
Izuku gave him a deadpan stare. Along with half the restaurant. He wasn't even trying to be convincing. "Seriously, your kidding right." Izuku sighed as he put some money on the table and grabbed the box with Eri in it. He could feel her shaking inside. "Miss manager I'm sorry for not cleaning up after myself but something tells me I should leave now before I create a bigger mess." he said with a smile then calmly left the restaurant. "Eri please stay in the box I won't let you go but it will get a little rough." he said to Eri "Now before we begin are you and those men hiding behind that truck sure you guys want to do this."
The man stood there for a moment wondering how the heck the kid knew about the others. "I knew that lie wouldn't work oh well." before yelling. "Get him now before he draws his sword." The moment those words left the man mouth several men jumped Izuku. Izuku noticed one of them controlling a chain and trying to snare him. He grabbed the chain with one hand and pulled it along with the man and smashing him into his friends. Knocking several of them out with one move. Another tried from behind and with being as careful of Eri as he kicked the man into a truck.
"Trust me when I say this. I don't need my sword to beat any of you." said Izuku as he vanished from their sight. Izuku quickly with one hand gave each of them a good chop on the neck knocking each of them out. When they wake next they would be in police custody.
Eri popped her head out to look at Izuku and his handiwork. "Come on Eri. Let's go home."
"Home?"
Izuku nodded as he made a dash back to the mountain. The bald scared grunt got up and ralled the men. Getting as many of them as they could into the trucks. "Come it. Move it. If we don't get her back Overhaul is gonna kill us move it." He screamed at them as they speed down the highway way over the speed limit. Until.
Suddenly the lead driver hit the brakes. "WHAT IN THE HELL DID YOU STOP FOR!"
Screamed the man as they stared at the driver who began sweating bullets as he looked ahead in sheer horror. They all looked forward only to regret everything in there life. IT was back and it put a hand on the hood of their truck.
"I'm sorry but I can't let you do that." As her hands erupted in flames. "You haven't finished playing with me." screamed Nezuko as she ripped their engine out with one hand.
By the time the police arrived ever would be gangster had already soiled their pants and raving about a demonic girl in pink. They should have worn the brown pants.
~o~
"Hey I'm home" yelled Izuku as he returned to the mountain.
"Welcome back, I got curry cooking and Masti-" Tomo stopped has she saw Izuku with a box with a little girl inside. "Master, Izuku kidnapped a girl."
"I didn't kidnap her."
Yushiro walked into the kitchen. "Okay what's going on here." after seeing the girl simple raised an eyebrow. "Well this is unexpected."
"Sorry sensei, I know this is unexpected but I have good reason to bring her here. She needs help."
"I can see that. She seems frightened half to death just by looking at us."
"Aw don't worry,cutie. We're all friends here." said Tomo as she reached to pat the girls head. She stopped as her face twisted with horror as every single one of her instinics screamed at her to stop. She quickly backed away. "WHAT THE HELL"
"Its her quirk." Said Yushiro keeping calm. "Her quirk is going out of control. Izuku why exactly did you bring her here."
"I'm sorry sir, I didn't know about her quirk. Its well. Eri tell him who brought me to you."
Eri was quiet for a moment. "It was miss Nezuko."
Yushiro could help but be shocked. Izuku forgot with how much his sensei tried to be stoic, that even he can be shocked. "Izuku you said brought to her by someone."
"It was her sir. Pink Hiyori and matched the photos perfectly. Nezuko brought me to this little girl."
Yushiro up to the little girl and put his hand out. "Don't" warned Eri almost jumping out of the box. "If you do you'll die too. My curse will kill you."
Yushiro gave her one of his rare smiles. "Don't worry little one. It takes a lot to kill me and I'm very familiar with curses." as he put his hand on her head. Eri was surprised when nothing happened when he petted her head. Both Izuku and Tomo knew he was doing more than just comforting the girl and it showed as his eyes begin to narrow. "Tomo make sure you make extra for dinner. Izuku prepare an extra bedroom for Eri." as he grabbed the box with Eri. He saw Eri become scarred. "Eri I promise that I won't hurt you but I need to make sure your quirk doesn't hurt anyone."
"You can make it so I don't hurt anyone anymore."
"I will try." as he took Eri to the medical wing of the Mansion. Izuku made sure the room next to his and Tomo's were set. He even found Tomo's old pajamas she said Eri could us. He returned to see Tomo finish dinner when Yushiro came back with a tired Eri, with no box this time. Both Izuku and Tomo wanted to ask questions when Yushiro mouthed 'after dinner.' The four had a peaceful dinner.
Shortly after dinner Eri fell asleep holding Izuku. Tomo took he and changed her before putting her down to bed. They looked to see a peaceful sleeping Eri in her bed before closing her door.
As they went back to the living room. Yushiro let out a heavy sigh. "That girl has truly experienced hell."
"What do you mean?" asked Izuku as Tomo brought tea.
"For starters she's been killed several times."
Crash Tomo dropped a tea cup. Izuku couldn't help but notice she was shaking. "I'm sorry sir but could you repeat that."
"She has had a bit of a similar experience like you Tomo."
Tomo put everything down as she took a deep breath. "Okay I'm good. Please continue master." she said forcing herself from shaking. Izuku grabbed the tea pot and poured everyone a cup.
Yushiro took a drink before he began retelling his experience of the child's past. "When I was putting her quirk under control I took a peek into her mind and into her memories. For starters someway her parents were related to a villian a Yakuza member to be precise. When her quirk activated revealing it to be some sort quirk that could rewind an organic being to a previous state. I believe one of the yakuza members then gave her a quirk enhancement drug thinking it will give him some sort of fountain of youth. In the end it made her quirk go out of control. She undid the man into nothing. After that she was taken by the head of the yakuza. That's when the nightmare began. Calling it tourtue would be too easy. They discovered her blood holds her quirk, the blood has been key to their quirk enhancement drugs it increased their performance ten fold. By continually studying it they learned how to use it suppress quirks and even how to eliminate quirks entirely from someone. Some much from her blood." Yushiro grew angry. "To get this much blood the head of the Yakuza used his quirk to literally turn her entire body into blood. Then used it again to turn her back. His quirk allows him to deconstruct and reconstruct anything even people. He deconstructed her and reconstructed her over and over again."
Yushiro stopped there to let the information. Both Izuku and Tomo were in shock that slowly turned into anger. Izuku began to wonder what type a twisted monster could do this to little girl, while Tomo was just wondering where she could find him and spill his guts. Yushiro could see in Tomo's eyes as several painful memories came back to her. He could tell whoever did this was no at the very top of her kill on sight list. Luckily he wasn't the only one to see.
"Tomo." She looked up to see Izuku with a worried look in his eyes. Izuku became a good friend to her over the year he stayed with them at the mountain. He was now like a little brother to her. She couldn't stay mad not with that worried look of his. She took a deep breath and suppressed the bad memories and reminded herself this is about the girl.
"Master is Eri going to be alright?"
"It's hard to say. Physically she will be fine after a few days of rest. Mentally she will have to live with the scars that have been given. The most we can do is help them fade so she can smile and have a bit of normal life. Though her main problem that we need to solve is one that I have never seen before."
"What do you mean sensei."
"It may even help her mentally but the biggest problem she has is her quirk." he paused
"Please explain sensei" asked Izuku "if there's anyway we can help her. I would like to help."
"He's right we have to help." Said Tomo agreeing with Izuku.
"Don't worry we will help her and I was getting to that. You see the problem with her quirk is that is been mutated too much. I don't think the man fully understood what he was doing or even cared for that matter. You see she is still just a child her quirk is still developing and the man kept destroying her and recreating her add drugs and whatever other chemicals they were pumping in her have changed her quirk its mutated it making it volatile and uncontrollable. If I had to take a guess I would say her quirk originally reverted anything organic back to a previous form state by state, but now it rewinds at an unpredictable rate and the raw form of her quirk in her blood is so broken down its pulling her into several different directions."
They both digested the information. "So how do we help her."
"She is going to need several genetic quirk surgeries. I'm going to have to alter her quirk change it into something more manageable."
"You can do that." Izuku said in a bit of a shock.
"I know how quirks were made and I've been studying them for years. How do you think I was able to get her to stop earlier."
"That was actually a question I had"
"I can explain in better detail later. For now we have to prepare. It's not going to be easy I'm going to need several items and ingredients. Izuku I know we agreed that you would see your mother next week but this takes priority so many things can go wrong with an unstable quirk like this one."
"I completely understand sensei."
"Izuku" Said Tomo getting his attention. "Your not off the hook. Your still going to go see your mother before UA."
"She's right. First we make sure Eri is okay then we see your mother. After that you get into UA." Said Yushiro finishing his Tea and giving them a look filled with pure rage. "That's when we hunt down whoever did this to Eri and show them our Fury."
Yep Eri is here and will be here for a while. Also important note these updates will be every Monday unless something else happens.
Also think about doing some other fanfics so hopefully I can make it all work. Lorenzo OUT.
