Chapter 91: Izuku and Mirio Kidnap a Small Child
Sir Nighteye looked at his two interns… he couldn't believe it… what they did had done was so, so… There were so many things wrong.
Bubble Girl was just confused.
Todoroki just stood there rather impassively but did seem to understand why…
Katsuki was somewhat glaring at the two.
However there a rule of thumb when it comes the things Luffy did, if the one on babysitting duty (and wasn't his wife) was sheepish and apologetic that means they weren't able to stop him from doing the insane thing… but if the person watching him didn't look guilty at all then whatever happened meant. something
Izuku who was tasked with making sure that Mirio didn't slip into Luffy mode and didn't do anything insane while in it was NOT apologetic.
If anything he was doting on the little girl who seemed to be glued to him.
"You kidnapped a child from Kai Chisaki…" said Sir Nighteye finally being able to speak.
"Yes.." said Mirio.
Katsuki took a breath.
"You think she's being abused…" he said knowing what to say.
Izuku petted the head of the small girl and didn't say anything.
Mirio just looked at the group.
Earlier that day…
IT was their first day of really working at the agency. They were given the information of the main case they were working on. Namely investigating the Yakuza known as the Shie Hassaikai.
They were even given picture of the current boss a man named Kai Chisaki.
There weren't that many incidents involving him. Where it involved an accident with a bunch of thieves and something happened and it resulted in the thieves not being injured in the accident but also had previous injuries and illness disappear.
Also he had been known for sometimes appearing in public wearing a face mask similar to a plague doctor.
And so they were dived into two groups for going on patrols.
Sir Nighteye went with Bubble Girl, while Izuku was paired with Mirio and Katsuki with Todoroki.
Izuku mentally breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew the reason for the parings was to show Izuku just skilled and powerful Mirio was.
But it also didn't pair him up with Todoroki… who probably shouldn't be paired up with Mirio at all.
Plus part of it was making sure that Mirio didn't slip into Luffy mode during the patrol…
He could tell that Mirio was mostly there, but he was still dealing with Luffy's chaotic personality .
It was unlikely but still possible.
Todoroki could handle making sure that Katsuki didn't get lost (as he had learned how to handle Mashirao getting lost in the last few months.)
But dealing with Mirio in Luffy mode.. yeah… Todoroki wouldn't be able to handle it.
But still it gave Izuku and Mirio some one on one time to get to know each other.
"So you chose Deku as your hero name?" asked Mirio surprised.
He had managed to get some information about the bullying her endured from Katsuki.
"Well Ochaco told me it could me "it sounded like You can do it!" so that's why I took the name." said Izuku.
Mirio laughed, it did explain why the two of them were together.
"Well my hero name is Lemillion." Said Miro.
"Really why?" asked Izuku.
"Because I want to save 1 million people." said Mirio.
The two continued to walk when they got to an alley and a little girl with white hair and a small golden horn on her forehead bumped into Izuku.
Izuku looked at the little girl. She looked so scared, she was wearing a hospital gown and her arms and legs were wrapped in bandages.
"Are you all right?" asked Izuku.
The little girl didn't say anything.
Then things got worse.
"Eri… you shouldn't be bothering people like that." Said a voice.
They looked and saw it Kai Chisaki.
Izuku was shocked… but that shock quickly turned to annoyance.
Part him wanted to blame Mirio for "summoning him" but then he remembered what happened as the mall so yeah… he just had really bad luck.
Mirio noticed the look on Izuku and knew he had naturally entered Sanji mode and tried not to laugh.
"Forgive my daughter… she's a bit clumsy." Said Chisaki.
Both of them noticed that the girl seemed terrified of him.
And even if was her father… both of them knew that doesn't mean he's a good father.
"Please don't leave me…" whimpered the little girl.
Izuku's eyes widened.
IT sounded even worse than it looked.
"Eri you're brothering the heroes. You should come home,.." said Chisaki.
He motioned over to the two of follow him.
"Actually we're heroes in training." Said Mirio.
"Still… she is bothering you,,.," said Chisaki.
Both of the heroes in training glared at him.
"Come now Eri we need to go home." Said Chisaki.
Eri was shaking clearly in fear.
Mirio looked at her, remembering his past life's childhood whenever his grandfather would take him for training.
And because of that he entered Luffy mode.
He looked at Izuku and gave the biggest grin imaginable.
Izuku stared at the smile…
"Oh no…" thought Izuku.
"Deku…" said Mirio, "Run!"
Izuku for a second breathed a sigh of relief.
Though he grabbed Eri and took to the air.
Mirio on the other hand fell into the ground disappearing his own way.
Chisaki watched in anger but realized there was no way he could be find either of them.
He knew had to figure out the identities of the two heroes in training…
And he was going to get Eri back.
He just needed some information about who he was dealing… and figure out another course of action.
"You won/t hide for Long Eri…" muttered Chisaki.
On a roof top several block away Izuku landed.
"Hey you okay?" asked Izuku knowing that Mirio would be able to find him easily thanks to Haki.
Eri nodded.
Izuku realized while he was waiting on the roof top he should ask Eri two question.
"Um… I have some questions… is Eri your real name?" asked Izuku.
Eri nodded.
"Okay Eri… is Chisaki really your dad?" asked Izuku.
Eri shook his head no.
"Okay… is the reason for your bandages?" asked Izuku.
Eri nodded.
"Please don't leave me…" whispered Eri.
I don't won't… don't worry." Said Izuku.
He began to ruffle the girl's hair who seemed to lean into it.
He sighed at the little girl.
That was when something hit him…
That was when Mirio showed up.
"Is she okay?" asked Mirio,
Izuku nodded in fiercely.
"What's wrong?" asked Mirio.
"We are in so much trouble…" said Izuku.
Mirio blinked then laughed.
"Yeah we are…" he said.
They called Sir Nighteye, who of course called Katsuki and Todoroki for the impromptu meeting.
Sir Nighteye couldn't help but to sigh after Katsuki put together the pieces on why they did it./
"Deku! You shouldn't have taken her." Said Sir Nighteye, "IT wasn't the right call to make and…"
And that immediately angered Mirio.
"Don't blame him! IT wasn't his idea! It was mine! I was the one who told him to run!" yelled Mirio.
Eri started to shake.
Both Izuku and Mirio had their Observation Haki active just in case Chisaki was nearby.
However Izuku got a really bad feeling from Eri.
"I could tell what Chisaki was doing was terrible and I was the one who made the call to get her away from him!" yelled Mirio.
That was when he saw a vision of the future thanks to his Haki.
But the danger didn't come from Chisaki finding them but Eri.
He could only see a few seconds into the future, but he had to act quickly…
He grabbed Eri, prying her away from Izuku and throwing her far away.
When she landed she started to spark a lot… it was clear whatever her quick was it was activating from the stress.
And both Izuku and Mirio could sense that whatever her quirk was it was very dangerous.
"How did you know her quirk was going to go off?" asked Sir Nighteye.
"Oh yeah… I forgot tell you I can see into the future now." Said Mirio.
Sir Nighteye looked at Mirio confused.
"What… how…" said Sir Nighteye.
"IT's something from my past life." Said Mirio.
Sir Nighteye didn't know how to react.
"Um… Sir…" said Bubble Girl.
That was when he remembered the little girl.
It took a few minutes for Eri to calm down.
"Are you okay?" asked Izuku ounce Eri calmed down.
"I'm fine…" said Eri, "Did my curse hurt you?"
"Curse?" asked Izuku.
Todoroki's eyes widened when Eri said that… it was like hearing himself talk when he didn't his fire half.
"I make people go away…" whispered Eri.
They all looked at each other .
It was clear that things had gotten more complicated.
They called a police officer talk about Eri's situation. Although she was part of Sir Nighteye's investigation… they knew no way in hell that they were going to just let her go back to Chisaki.
The officer who was specialty in dealing with children of complicated cases answered questions about Chisaki (which Nighteye also listened in on). The interview was actually somewhat horrifying with what they learned…
Though another thing of note was that Eri wanted Izuku there.
The officer as they got Eri to answer everything they could ask her.
"What's going to happen to her." Said Izuku.
"Well from the sounds of it…" said the officer (who was a woman), "She has a highly dangerous quirk that we don't know what it does other than make people disappear. She's also very attached to you…"
Izuku looked at Eri who was clinging to one of his arms.
"You have your provisional license. Right?" asked the officer.
"I do…" said Izuku .
"There's a rarely used law in cases like this…" said the officer, " But for the time the being it would be best if you become her legal guardian…"
"What?" asked Izuku surprised.
"Are you serious?" asked Sir Nighteye.
"There is a law that's rarely used where if an extremely traumatized child of a very dangerous quirk becomes emotional attached to hero and their in a situation where their parents can't take care of them, the in question becomes their legal guardian. This happens once in about every 5 years… and only happened once or twice with the hero in question only having a provisional license."
Sir Nighteye wanted to argue a bit… but at the same time….
"Did have children in your past life?" asked Sir Nighteye.
"I personally did, but other members of the crew did and I helped take care of them." Explained Izuku.
"What?" asked the officer.
"Um… have you heard of Priestess." Said Izuku.
"Yeah…" said the officer, her eyes winded in surprise, "Oh I heard a rumor that a bunch of UA students were hit by the quirk… she's lucky to have you then… you're perfect…"
"He was a pirate in his past life." Said Sire Nighteye.
"Okay not exactly perfect…" said the Officer, "But from what I can tell from the fact he's still a hero student that he was more of daring rouge than the evil kind…"
"Yeah…" said Izuku.
"Plus considering that Chisaki would want her back, it would be best for to stay at UA." Said the officer.
Izuku nodded.
"I'll contact the school right now…" said the officer.
Eri was quiet and counited to hold onto Izuku's arm.
Don't worry… you're going to be living with me…" said Izuku.
Eri just snuggled with his arm even more.
Sir Nighteye left to talk to Mirio.
He found Mirio talking with Todoroki and Katsuki.
"he must be a magnet for people like that." Laughed Mirio.
"Mirio… we need to talk." Said Sir Nighteye.
Mirio lightly glared at his mentor and knew they had to clear the air from earlier.
He talked in his office.
"Why did you give the order to run away?" asked Sir Nighteye.
Mirio sighed at her became very serious.
"I was raised by my grandpa in my past life..." Said Mirio, "He wasn't a very good grandpa…"
Sir Nighteye got a really bad feeling.
"He kept training in me in really bad ways…" said Mirio, "Like tossing me off cliffs and making me spends nights in the jungle."
"What?" asked Sir Nighteye.
"It's true…" sighed Mirio, "It's was all so I would follow in his footsteps… but seeing a little girl like that… I couldn't leave her there…"
Sir Nighteye wasn't sure how to handle it. Especially since he knew Mirio's father… who was a very king and loving father.
To be raised that was the compete opposite of that in a past life…
'I know it might have hurt the investigation." Said Mirio.
"I think it might have helped to be honest… he's doing something to her…" said Sir Nighteye, "Thanks to her testimony we do have some charges of abuse and other crimes."
"What do you mean other crimes?" asked Mirio.
"I'll explain when I have more…" said Sir Nighteye.
What Eri told them was very terrifying to be honest and knew it was now better they got away.
Still with that fight neither of them knew that was just the first crack that was going to form in their relationship.
The officer got in contact with the school and Nezu would send for a driver to bring the four students back to school and bring in Eri.
They soon returned to school where Nezu, Aizawa and Hibiki were waiting for them.
"Why is already you that things happen to?" asked Aizawa.
"I have no idea." Sighed Izuku.
"Come on it's not his fault that he's a chaos magnet…" said Aiko.
Aizawa rolled his eyes.
"Still until she can sleep on her own, I have added a second bed to your room." Said Nezu.
"Also I informed your class of Eri especially since she'll be sitting on class for the foreseeable future." Said Nezu.
"Seriously?" asked Katsuki.
"There's nowhere she can go." Pointed out Izuku.
"I'll be quiet…" whispered Eri.
Katsuki flinched at that.
"Okay… do I have permission?" asked Aiko.
"No…" said Hibiki, "However you okay with me lending you to Sir Nighteye so you can do that to aid in the visitation."
"You know what… I'll take it." Said Aiko, "I'm already partially working on there so it helps."
"I think it's perhaps best to go back to dorm and introduce her to the your classmates that aren't on work studies." Said Nezu.
"SO the rest of the group." Said Izuku.
"And also Tokoyami. Hawks asked to him." Said Aizawa.
"Might be a good idea he's not there…" said Izuku.
"Why?" asked Aizawa.
"Chisaki was wearing a plague doctor mask." Said Izuku.
"What?" asked Aiko.
"That sounds something that might remind her of him…" said Hibiki.
Izuku nodded.
Mirio decided to accompany them to the Class 1-A dorms to introduce Eri.
When the door opened everyone who was there practically ran to the door.
"Is that her!" yelled Mina.
"You really are taking care of a kid." Said Sero.
"Should we really be surprised by any of this anymore?" asked Shoji.
However Eri started to get a bit overwhelm.
"Calm down!" yelled Iida, "And let Midoriya explain!"
The class calmed down at best as they could.
"This is Eri… she was under the care of a villain." Said Izuku, "I'm taking care of her for a while."
"I call baby-sitting duty!" called out Mina.
"I don't know if that's a good idea." Said Izuku with a sweat drop.
"Why?" asked Mina.
"Her quirk is really dangerous… it makes people "disappear."" Said Izuku.
"So in other words she's very dangerous and Deku's the only thing calming her down at the moment."
That class was surprised by this.
"I'm going to take her to my room." Said Izuku, "Mirio can explain how I got her…"
Once Izuku took Eri upstirs they heard several shouts of "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU KIDNAPPED HER!"
"You okay?" Izuku asked Eri.
Eri nodded quietly.
They got to his room where Izuku's desk was moved slightly to make room for a small best that was clearly for Eri.
He realized he didn't have any closet for Eri.
"do you want to borrow my clothes?" asked Izuku.
Eri nodded.
He decided to lend her one of his shirts… the one that said "Long Sleeved Kimono."
It was of course big on her, but it worked as a dress…
"Is this okay?" asked Izuku.
Eri nodded.
"I don't know when I'll be able to go shopping or see if my friend will make you some clothes." Said Izuku.
"It's okay…" whispered Eri.
Izuku sighed at the small girl.'
She went to bed and fell asleep soon enough.
Izuku knew that his life changed because of that little girl.
But little did he know that he and Mirio made things easier for the investigation against Chisaki… and they made things so much easier for when it would be time to take down his operations.
And of course that he would also give the poor girl the life she always needed…
Next Time: Izuku helps Eri acclimate to UA as well as introducing other's in the group. What will be their reaction to the girl... besides maybe wanting to murder Chisaki... find out next time!
A/N: Eri was saved right away... let's be honest who is surprised... A good chunk of this arc is going to be Eri fluff because yeah... she needs it.
