Hello, everyone. Thank you for patiently waiting for this chapter to happen. Knowing you guys enjoy reading this story, I always make sure the chapters are enjoyable for you all and leaving warnings for some of my more sensitive readers. I don't own any of the canon characters while the OC characters only belong to me.

Warning: This chapter will have child abuse in it.

"Izuku, where are you?" Inko asks as she searches for her daughter in her childhood home.

Izuku giggles while her mother was looking for her. The five-year-old and her mother were in the countryside of Inko's hometown. It was summertime and her mother took her to visit her grandparents like they always do. The summer breeze was perfect to go the meadow where Inko would often take her beloved daughter. The meadow was the place Inko love going ever since she was a child. Her mother and father had taken her there all the time, no matter the season.

"Izuku, sweet, come out and let me change you. We need to get to the festival before sunset," Inko said while she kept looking for her daughter with no luck whatsoever.

Both mother and daughter were inside the house. Chiemi and Kou and already left to go help some friends at the festival at the last minute, leaving their daughter and granddaughter alone in the house.

Izuku was hiding in her closet while Inko had entered her bedroom. Inko knew her daughter was playing hide and seek, but they were going to be late if the five-year-old didn't let her mother know she was.

"Boo!" Izuku said as she exited the closet to give her mother a scare.

Inko was startled but was soon calm down when she realized that Izuku was trying to scare her. She soon scoops Izuku into her arms and hugs her daughter. Despite wanting to leave right now, Inko couldn't help but play along with Izuku's little game. Since last year of her daughter was diagnosed as being Quirkless, Inko and her parents did everything they could to make sure Izuku had a normal and happy childhood like any other child.

"Mommy, I'm supposed to be a villain. You're not supposed to hug me," Izuku said, but soon quickly give in to her mother's warm embrace.

After a while of hugging each other, Inko soon dressed Izuku and herself for the town's summer festival. Early in the day, Inko had called her husband Hisashi on when will he be back home. Hisashi had told her that his boss had told him that he was going to stay in America for a few years. Hisashi had even told her that he thought of resigning his job and look for something else to work if this meant that Izuku needed him. However, Inko told him that everything was fine and her parents had managed to make sure everything alright for Izuku and her if they needed anything from them.

"Come on now, Izuku. Grandma and Grandpa are waiting for us at the festival," Inko said as she picks up Izuku into her arms.

"Mommy, are there going to be fireworks?" Izuku asks excitingly.

"Of course, baby. They always have them every year," Inko said as she closes and locks the door.

Inko and Izuku had reached the festival before the sun was setting. Seeing the sun in the country was very beautiful. According to Inko, she loved seeing the sunset in the meadow. Inko had put down her daughter when the latter wanted to walk throughout the festival despite her mother being worried that she could get easily get lost because of how tiny she is. But Inko had agreed to let Izuku walk as long she was close to her family.

"Darlings, there you are! I was worried you might have been late," Chiemi said as she walks over towards her daughter and granddaughter.

"Grandma, look at my new kimono! Is it pretty? But Mommy's kimono is a lot prettier than mine," Izuku said as she shows her new kimono to her beloved grandmother who smiles.

"Yes, Izuku. Your kimono is very beautiful as your mother's," Chiemi said as she bent down to hugged her beloved granddaughter.

"Where's Grandpa, Grandma?" Izuku asks when she notices her beloved grandfather wasn't with her grandmother like he always is.

Grandma and Grandpa love each other very much that they're rarely seen apart by their friends and family. Izuku had often said that her grandparents were the only soulmates they had. Inko herself said that she wanted to be like her parents when she gets married since she saw how much they are in love with each other. However, neither Izuku nor Inko knew anything about Chiemi and Kou's past or relationship.

"Your grandfather went to help with the fireworks, Izuku. He'll join us soon, sweetie," Chiemi said smiling.

"Soon isn't enough, my love," Kou said as he suddenly appears in front of his beloved family.

"Grandpa, when will the fireworks start?" Izuku asks as she runs to her grandfather's arms.

"At the end of the festival, my love," Kou said.

"Dear, I thought you were with Jimi-kun and his grandson with the fireworks display," Chiemi said confusedly.

"I manage to finish the work quickly as I can since I couldn't stand being away from my three girls," Kou said as he cuddles his precious granddaughter.

Izuku, her mother, and her grandparents soon enjoy the festival. Everything was so pretty and fun. She wanted to taste the food and play the games that they had. After her grandfather had won a few games for her, Izuku wishes her father was here with them all. Hisashi love going to festivals since her mother had her that how are she and Hisashi met.

Inko was at the town's festival with her friends when she accidentally bumped into her future husband. It was love of first sight when their eyes met for the first time. Inko knew she was going to spend the rest of her life with him.

Izuku groans as she woke up from her peaceful dream. After her mental breakdown from last night, Izuku was taken to the Police Department since all her screaming was heard all over the neighborhood. Apparently, the police were called by three neighbors who heard her screams and felt there was something wrong in the Fukui house.

The police had come and saw everything was normal until they saw her room was completely destroyed. The way Izuku was behaving around the police, they felt she was being abused by her family. They took her away from the house, much to the protest by the Fukuis. Izuku didn't know what to feel at the moment. But deep down, she was glad she was being taken away from the mansion.

"Good morning, Midoriya-san. How did you sleep last night?" One of the policemen who took away asks. He had the appearance of a bear.

"Good. Thank you, sir," Izuku said quietly.

The police officer had given her a nice breakfast and a cup of milk. She didn't really eat that much from her breakfast. The green-haired girl felt not that hungry lately. The bear-man looks at her with an uncertain look on his face. Izuku had no idea what he was thinking.

When the bear officer and his partner brought her here, they give her a small room to sleep in for the night. Izuku felt so strange when the police officers were being kind to her. It felt so strange to have people other than Yuzu to treat her so different from her family treats her. She actually cried that night for some reason. The kindness and warmth they showed and given her felt so nice to her.

"Midoriya-san, what kind of treatment did your aunts, uncles, and cousins have been given you?" The policeman asks her gently.

"They're very strict, sir. They never hurt me or anything like that," Izuku said.

The bear officer hummed. Izuku wonders what he's going to do now. She felt so scared that she wanted to go to her family. They may not be perfect but they all love her. Izuku had no idea why she had a breakdown last night. She tries to think about what made her act in such an ugly manner. She couldn't help but feel ashamed that she yelled at her family to leave her alone. They must be angry at her for doing that.

"You're not in trouble, Midoriya-san. We're just trying to help you," He said in a very kind and gentle tone she has ever heard.

Izuku couldn't help but cry. She felt she had emotions that were buried deep inside herself. The officer merely looks at her. He didn't say anything to her but he was actually happy to see she was being honest with her emotions. The way he had sees her, he knew she had been hurt emotionally by the people who were supposed to take of care her.

Suddenly, the door had open widely. A man and woman had stepped into the room and place some papers on the table that both Izuku and the officer were sitting at.

"What the hell is this?" The officer asks angrily.

"The Fukuis has the legal right to have the girl back in their custody," The man said.

"We're the lawyers for Hatsu and Haruto Fukui. They demand to have their niece return to them immediately," The woman said as she took Izuku by the wrist and dragged her out of the room.

Izuku felt her emotions were starting to be hard to control now. The officer had followed them and said that she was supposed to be under police's protection until further notice. But the female lawyer ignored him and kept walking until she and Izuku were outside.

Izuku felt her heart had stopped when she saw her aunt Azuki standing in front of the car. She looks at Izuku and had an uncertain on her beautiful face. The lawyer had stop and let go of Izuku before bowing to Azuki who thanked her for bringing Izuku to her. The female lawyer said it was nothing and walk away from them to return to the building.

Azuki then opens the car and look at Izuku. Izuku merely stood there, afraid of what will her aunt do to her.

"Izuku, get into the car, right now," Azuki said with a very stern tone in her voice. Enough for Izuku to listen and did what she was told.

Izuku quickly got into the car while her aunt got on the other side. The drive was quiet. Izuku didn't know what to say to Azuki. Was she mad at her for last night? Izuku didn't want to ask her aunt that since she was scared that Azuki was going to yell at her for almost causing everyone to be scared last night.

"Auntie Azuki, I'm really so..."

"DON'T! Don't speak to me right now, Izuku. I'm really upset right now," Azuki said as she continued to drive the car back home.

Hearing her aunt shouting at her, Izuku cried endlessly and uncontrolled. She wanted Yuzu to be here with her. Azuki stopped the car and look at her niece with a tired look on her face.

"Izuku, what happened last night was extremely embarrassing to the whole family. Do you know how embarrassing it was for us to tell those officers that our fourteen-year-old niece was throwing a temper tantrum at her age? Did you know how much we were afraid when they decided to take you away from us? Your grandfather was worried that he might not see you again after you were taken. Or could you imagine me feeling so afraid that they were going to take my little Emiyo as well? We were so worried that you were going to be taken to a stranger's home for the night," Azuki said as her own tears were coming out as well.

"Izuku, the whole family was afraid you were going to be taken from us, your loving family, we had to ask help from some friends. Please don't destroy things to make yourself feel better. Your cousin Raki had told us to send you some help. Your grandfather had denied his request. Izuku, please tell me what's wrong with you lately. You become more and more off. Did something happen at school? Was it that Katsuki boy again?" Azuki asks her young niece so many questions. However, Izuku didn't answer any of her questions.

"Izuku, your aunt Hatsu and uncle Haruto are very angry at you for last night. They are even considering not letting you go to U.A. next year. Even Masanori-sama is rethinking of not letting you go if you're continued to behave this way," Azuki said while she wiped her tears away before starting the car to go home.

Izuku felt her tears didn't want to stop. She was so conflicted on what to do. Her family had been good to her since they took her. Maybe she was actually like a spoiled child instead of a mature teenager. Her tears dropped onto the floor of the car.

"I know. I'm sorry, Auntie Azuki."

Thank you all for reading this. It makes me sad that I'm making Izuku suffering in this series. Izuku was starting to come to terms with that her family might not be treating her right, only to force her to go back to them by the law. I also hope you guys enjoy the little dream/flashback Izuku had.
