EDIT: 5/21/2021

"Alright then. We're here." Tsukauchi said to the waterbender as he put the car in park next to a square, two-story ordinary-looking compact home.

Katara looked at the place that was to her left with wary eyes. "So...this is where I'm, uh, supposedly staying? And he lives here?"

Tsukauchi nodded to her with a smile. "Yep. Don't worry. Even though he has a condition, he'll take good care of you. He's a good guy and very reliable. You can even say he has a heart of pure gold. Just...don't be surprised by his appearance."

"Uh...okay." Katara worries were eased a bit, only slightly.

"Come on, let's meet him." Tsukauchi said to the girl as he opened his car door. Katara opened her car door(she still can't get over this 'car' thing) and got out, following the detective. Once they stopped in front of the door, Tsukauchi pushed a button next to it.

Raising an eyebrow at that, Katara asked. "What did you do there?"

Tsukauchi turned his head to blink at her and realized what she meant. "Oh. I was just letting him know that we're here. I rang the doorbell. It makes a sound when you push it to tell people that someone's at the door to their home."

"Oh...wow." Katara stood there, trying to absorb that information.

'This world is even more advanced than the Fire Nation…' She looked back at the car that they drove. '...Very much so.'

She heard the door open.

She turned to see who this man is…

...He...was a literal skeleton.

A tall skeleton with flesh…

With sunken eyes…

And the wildest hair she has ever seen…

...Katara was having second thoughts.

"Uuuuh…" Katara just stared at the man, wide-eyed in shock at his appearance.

'Whoa...Tsukauchi...wasn't kidding...'

"Uh...hello there." The man said awkwardly. He was wearing a very loose blue shirt and some baggy camo-green pants with a belt to secure them with. He was also wearing fuzzy slippers, which she remembered from Tsukauchi that the people here(well, in this nation anyway) take their shoes off at the genkan while they go barefoot inside one's home.

The man continued. "Um...You must be...Ka-tar-a?" He looked at Naomasa to see if he pronounced it right. The detective nodded with a smile.

"Um...yes…" Katara said dumbfounded.

"Oh, uh, okay…" The man said a little uneasily. He just stood there for a moment, until he said to them. "Well, uh...my name is Toshinori Yagi. Nice to meet you. Come on in, I...uh, I guess."

The two entered the genkan of this strange man's home, and once Katara got her shoes off, she walked into the home and glanced around the area. It looked like they'd entered some form of main room, where there was a table, plush looking chairs and a stand where there was a large flat object on it. There were also some stairs to the left that led to the second floor, and further ahead from the first floor, there was a kitchen area...she would think.

All in all, the place looked small, but it looked functional. It was also very tidy and clean, meaning he took care of his place, which was a good sign for Katara.

"Um, make yourself at home, Miss Katara." The man known as Toshinori said to her.

"Oh, uh, thank you." Katara said as she went to the bigger and wider looking chair and sat on the center part of it.

'Wow, this is very comfy.' Katara pushed on the cushion she was sitting on.

Toshinori then spoke up. "Um, excuse me for a second, Miss, I, uh, need to speak to my friend here for a, um, a moment." He turned to Tsukauchi. "Is it okay if we go outside?"

"Sure." Naomasa nodded. He and Toshinori went outside of the house.

Katara sat there as she watched them leave. Sitting on the couch alone in the quiet, she glanced around the living area a bit, until she looked down at the table in front of her. Seeing a long black bar-looking thing, she picked it up and observed it. It had little colorful bumps on it and has some sort of language and insignias below them. Curious, she pushed one of the bumps and the top of the bar lit up red. Surprised by that, she gasped and dropped it on the table, making a loud clanging noise.

...Nothing happened.

"...Okay…" Katara murmured with a sigh. "You're in a whole new world, you're staying with a completely weird-looking stranger, everything is super-advanced, and everyone in this world has a...Quirk...whatever that could mean...oh, and I think there are no benders around here...except for me."

She sat there in silence…

"...This...is really different."

"I know what you're thinking, but you're the only one I know that can take care of her." Tsukauchi reasoned.

"Well...I mean, are you sure? I understand why you can't, but...I mean, what about your sister?" Yagi said as he ran his hand through the back of his hair in uncertainty.

"That was gonna be my second option, but honestly, I really don't want to burden her on taking care of anybody. I just knew that you were the type to help out anyone in need, so I came to you."

"Yeah, but...I mean, does she have any parents, relatives, or…I don't know, people that she knew when she had amnesia?"

Naomasa stood there for a second, and said, "That's the thing. She's...kind of a mystery."

"A mystery? How so?"

"I don't know for certain, but simply put, I don't think she's native to Japan."

Toshinori blinked. "Really?" He thought about it with his hand on his chin. "Huh...she did have an accent in her way of speaking...but her Japanese sounded really fluent when I heard her confront that Dukanara guy."

"Like I said, she's a mystery…" Tsukauchi looked thoughtful about that. 'Yeah...she actually did speak some good Japanese...although she did have an accent to it. Hmm...very weird. From what I got from her, she sounded like she wasn't lying, so maybe they speak a different kind of language or dialect there?'

Meanwhile, Toshinori was thinking hard on what he should do. 'Hmm...I haven't fully thought about this, but I think I can take care of her. On top of training Young Midoriya, and looking after Young Katara, I think I can manage…' He looked up at Tsukachi. "So she doesn't know her parents, relatives' names or anything? Does she know how to use her Quirk at least?"

Snapping out his thoughts, Naomasa said, "Oh, yeah, that she does. Her Quirk can let her control water."

"Control water?" Toshinori replied in surprise. "Wow...well, that's something different. Like she controls anything liquid based?"

"Yep. And as for her parents and relatives, that's...what I'm trying to find out. She could be from another country from what I suspect."

"Hm...yeah, she doesn't look like she's from around here...especially in that getup." Toshinori muttered. He thought about that for a second, and said to the detective, "Actually, was she in some sort of cosplay or something? That outfit she wore was...it kind of looked like something you see in medieval Japan or something."

'Hoo boy, he's asking too many questions.' Tsukauchi thought, being true to his profession as he kept calm and expressionless. "I mentioned that to her a while back, but she just said she doesn't know."

"Huh...so she really doesn't remember anything about herself? Just certain people and how she uses her Quirk?" Toshinori asked.

"Indeed." Naomasa nodded. "I'm really sorry I have to drop this on you, especially since you…" He looked around the street for anyone that may be walking by. Once seeing the coast is clear, he continued softly, "Since you've selected someone to inherit your Quirk."

Toshinori nodded, "Don't worry, Old Friend. I can handle it. I'll just tell her I have to run errands in the middle of the day on Saturday and Sunday, and that I have to do late night work…" He sweatdropped. "I just got to think of a profession that sounds believable."

"Just tell her you work at the police force as one of our investigators and make up as much as you can. I don't think she knows too much of the process of how police work goes."

"Well...okay." Upon remembering something else, Toshinori asked Tsukauchi, "Oh, um, I'm guessing you didn't like...tell her I was...you know, him, right?"

Naomasa smirked. "Come on, what do you take me for? Of course I didn't say anything about you-know-who."

The skeleton man chuckled. "Sorry, I'm just making sure…" He turned his head to his door and back at Tsukauchi. "Well, I'll try to take good care of her. I won't let you down, Detective."

Smiling at that, Tsukauchi nodded. "I'm pretty certain you'll keep that promise."

Toshinori smiled back.

The detective also decided to ask, "How are you feeling, by the way?"

The smile was gone as Toshinori looked a little uncertain. "Oh, well, you know, I'm uh...I'm…" He shrugged. "Well, I've been doing better, all things considered. There's still the occasional cough here and there, but it's been...not common lately."

Tsukauchi frowned at that, but only nodded. "Well, I hope you get better, Old Friend."

"Yeah…" Toshinori said as he rubbed the back of his head.

Katara, meanwhile, just sat there on the couch as she waited for the two men to come back inside.

"...This is a nice...home, I...guess…" Katara muttered as she glanced around the place once more.

It was then the front door opened and Tsukauchi and Toshinori came back inside, much to Katara's relief.

"Well, Katara, it looks like you got a place to stay." Tsukauchi told her with an encouraging smile.

The girl blinked. "Really?"

"Yep." Toshinori nodded. "He told me about your situation too, Little Miss, and I can only say that I hope you'll regain your memories back someday."

"Oh, uh, yeah…" Katara said, feeling awkward for letting Tsukauchi lie about her current circumstance.

Naomasa smiled with a slight nod at her and turned to Toshinori, "Well, I'll leave her in your hands, Yagi. Until then, I'll be calling you." He turned to Katara. "You be good now, okay Katara?"

Katara gave him a smile. She stood up and gave him a bow in appreciation, saying, "Thank you so much, Tsukauchi. I'm really grateful for your help." She turned to Toshinori and bowed to him. "And I'm really grateful that you let me reside here for a while, Mr. Yagi."

Toshinori smiled at her kind manners, as well as Tsukauchi, the latter replying back, "No problem, Katara. Just be careful, alright?"

Katara looked up and nodded with a smile.

"Well, follow me, Young Katara. I'll show you where you'll be staying until then." Toshinori advised Katara as he led her to the stairs. Tsukauchi left and it was only the two of them alone in the house.

"Okay." Katara said as she followed the skeletal man.

As they went upstairs and onto the second floor, Katara glanced around the area, which looked just as normal...that is, until she sees a table-stand against the wall with a picture on it.

The picture was that of an attractive young woman with dark shoulder-length raven hair that had a side squirt ponytail hairdo on the top left side of her head. She seems to be wearing what Katara would presume to be a normal looking outfit in this world, a pair of jeans, and a pink short-sleeved shirt. The bottom of the picture cuts off her legs, but the rest of the woman was apparent, as she looked to be pushing a smile upwards with her fingers. She looked silly while doing so, but Katara figured that was why she was doing it: to try to be silly.

Katara briefly paused as she looked at the photo, but kept on following Mr. Yagi.

"And here you are, Young Miss." Toshinori led her to her room. It was a moderate guest room, with a bed and a desk inside it. It was perfect for Katara, as she's not one for crowding her room with stuff...although, she didn't bring her stuff with her as far as she can tell.

"Thank you." Katara said with a smile to Toshinori, entering the room.

"Well, uh...I don't have any clothes that might fit you, but um...we can certainly go window-shopping if you're up to that." Toshinori said, a little awkward saying that.

Katara turned to the tall skeletal man. "Oh, um...yeah, sure. I don't have any clothes with me, so, that would be nice."

"Okay then." Nodded Toshi. "Well...you must be tired, so...I'll let you rest, if you're feeling that way."

"Oh, well, I can, uh, I-I can stay up a little bit." Katara informed him.

"Oh, alright…" Toshi stood there uneasily as he rubbed the back of his head. "Well, um, are you...hungry? I can make something. I just got my groceries back here and I can make a mean stir-fry."

Before Katara could decline, her stomach started to growl. Blushing in embarrassment at that, she mumbled. "Um...I mean, if you want to. I mean if you've already eaten, I don't want you to make another meal just for me. I mean...I, um, I am KIND OF, uh...a little hungry, but-"

Toshinori chuckled. "Young Katara, it's of no worries. It is not a burden to me to make something for you. Besides, it seems from what I heard, you may be more than just 'a little' hungry."

Katara blushed a bit at that. "Uh…" 'Oh heck, just accept his offer! You haven't really eaten any dinner in this world...and I haven't eaten anything at all recently.' "Well...okay then."

Nodding to that with a smile, Toshinori said, "Then I'll make you something. Would you like to relax for a while and let me tell you when it's done?"

"Um, yes, that would be nice."

"Then I shall make you your dinner, Young Miss." Toshinori said with a kind smile, and closed the door softly.

Katara stared at where Mr. Yagi once stood. Once again glancing around the room, she sat on the edge of her bed to think about the events that led her here. To the lightning strike to her chest, to being transported to this world, to meeting Tsukauchi, to confronting the Mud Man Dukanara, to revealing the detective on who she is, to now residing in this man's home.

She wonders what else will be in store for her in this world...

One thing she had to say about Mr. Yagi though, was that he certainly seemed nice.

As Toshinori went down the stairs, his thoughts went to the burnt mark on Katara's clothed chest.

'Hmm...that was quite an interesting wound she had on her...from what Katara said, she'd saved her friend by jumping in front of him. But what she saved him from, I don't know...I forgot to ask Tsukauchi about it, but perhaps I could say something about it to her." The skeletal man frowned. 'Not now though, I don't want to force the question on her...however, she seems to be functioning properly and looks healthy…'

As he made his way to his kitchen, he got the necessary ingredients and began to turn on the stove and put on his white apron. Once he put the vegetables in the frying pan, he looked at the time on the electric clock that was seated on the counter.

8:25 PM

...He froze…

..He just remembered that he didn't reply to Midoriya's text a while ago...and that he was supposed to be there at 8:30…

"..." Toshinori just looked at the clock.

…

"...OH CRAP!"

BLURK!

Katara, who was laying on the bed, sat up in an instant.

"Huh!?" She said, startled.

She got off the bed, exited her temporary room, and went down the stairs to see what the danger was.

"Mr. Yagi!? Is everything okay?" She asked him in concern.

When she saw him in the kitchen area coughing, he had his back turned to her. Toshinori jumped and turned around to look at the young girl in surprise...

Katara's eyes widened in shock.

"U-Uh..." Toshinori stood there like a deer in headlights.

His mouth was dripping blood, making him look like he was in worse shape than he was now, and thanks to his appearance, it only made him look even more frightening. To say that what she's looking at now, certainly was alarming.

"Mr. Yagi! W-What happened!? Wh-Why are you bleeding!?" Katara exclaimed as she rushed over to him.

'Oh damn it!' Thought a frantic Toshinori. "H-HOLD IT!" He held his hand out.

Katara stopped in her tracks, confused.

"I, uh-*cough* sorry, I-*cough*- woo, actually, *hack* I think I need to, uh, check out this cough! S-Sorry you have to see that!" Toshinori got a white oven towel nearby and started to wipe off the blood from his mouth. Once he put the red-stained towel on the counter, he said, "U-Um, also, I-I'm very sorry, but uh," He dug up his wallet out of his jean pocket and got his money out. "I also remembered that I need to, um, go somewhere! L-Like right now! H-Here!" He gave her the yen. "You, um, you know how to order on the phone, right? O-Or, um, online even?"

Katara blinked at him. "...Phone? Online?"

'...Well, shit.'

"O-Okay then, um...well…" Toshinori was thinking frantically on what he should do to make sure she had dinner.

'Oh man! Oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man, what do I do!?' He looked at the clock on the counter once more.

8:26 PM

'Oh crap! I got to go to a fast food joint...FAST!'

"Uh, wait here!" Toshinori exclaimed, startling Katara once more. He was lucky that he didn't cough after that-oh no.

He grabbed the towel again, and coughed into it.

Katara was getting worried. "Uh, Mr. Yagi?"

"No, no!" Toshinori held his hand out, his voice muffled by the towel, "I'll be right back! I'll, uh, I'll go get you something!" With the towel in his hand, he went over to the back of his home, dashing outside where his truck was parked.

Katara just stood there, bewildered.

"...What the…?" She uttered.

Toshinori exited the home just in time, throwing the towel away onto the ground as he looked down at his smartwatch.

8:27 PM

'Oh man! I got to hurry!' Yagi thought to himself as he buffed up himself into All Might. 'And I just know where to go! The restaurant is nearby! I hope she likes hamburgers!'

And with that, with his super-speed, he ran to the nearest place he could go to...

...A McDonald's.

All Might is standing near the counter in front of a dumbstruck cashier, and customers are gazing in wonder at the No. 1 Hero in Japan...getting food from McDonald's.

...This is awkward.

"...Please, I really need this to-go. Like right now." All Might ushered the male cashier.

"Oh! Uh, s-sure thing, Mr. All Might!" Said the young cashier man, possibly awestruck. "It would be an honor! A privilege even! I-I'll get your order ready!"

"Great! Please hurry, young lad!" All Might said with a forced, but genuine(at least he hopes) smile. He turned to everyone else, "And I'm really sorry to pop up like this, folks! I just, uh, I've been craving a good burger for a while! Haha!"

The customers still looked at All Might in shock and wonder.

"...Right!"

"H-Here you are, All Might!"

'Wow. That was fast.'

"Oh! Uh, thank you, young man! For that, you, uh…" All Might got his wallet out and got some yen out."You get a big tip!" He (softly) slammed the money on the counter, grabbed the paper bag full of food as well as the drink that came with it, and dashed out of there.

The cashier looked on dumbly at the speeding rocket into the night.

"..."

The other cashier next to him looked at the money on the counter, picked it up, and counted it.

"...Hey, he's one yen short. This didn't pay for the meal."

"Dude, All Might just ordered from my cash-register. I don't care if it's somehow Monopoly money, I'm gonna savor this moment."

Katara just still stood there, a little bit in shock.

"...Um…what just-?"

The back door opened.

"I AM-, uh, I mean, *ahem*, I-uh, here I am!" Toshinori came rushing inside with a paper bag and a cylinder thing with a stick poking out of the top.

"Oh, uh-!" Katara exclaimed, surprised.

"Here! Just, um, eat this!" Toshinori shoves the food and drink into her arms and hands, "I have to, uh-I REALLY gotta go somewhere right now! Sorry that I, uh, couldn't, um, fix dinner for you! I, uh…" he looked down at his watch.

8:29 PM

"ACK! Sorry-I-got-to-go! Just, um...just, uh, b-b-be here when I get back and don't answer the door at this time at night, okay!? Great! Okay then, I'll be back in a little while, bye!" Toshinori yelped and rushed out the front door, opening it and slamming it once he was outside.

Katara looked at the retreating figure as he exited his home. Blinking at the oddity of it all, she looked at the contents that were in her arms. She lifted up the bag and looked at the golden yellow arches that was printed on the front of it. There was a...delightful smell in the bag. Before she looked in it, she glanced at the drink that was in her other hand and studied the top of it, seeing that there was liquid inside. She looked through the straw to see inside the cup…

'O...kay? What do I do here?'

She then went over to the couch to sit on it and put the drink on the coffee table. She placed the bag on her lap and opened it...to meet with a wave of an aroma that smells...delicious.

"Oh…" Katara uttered in pleasant surprise as she reached in the bag and got out the box that contained a quarter pounder and the bag of fries with it. She sniffed the fries, which smelled just as good, and picked one up with her fingers. She looked at the golden yellow fried stick and put it to her mouth and took a bite...her eyes widened. She then ate the second half of the fry in one bite, and ate another fry. And another. And another. And then she threw caution to the wind and took a few fries and shoved them in her mouth.

She looked at the box that she set on the couch as she chewed the fries. Looking at it in question, she swallowed her food and picked up the paper box. There was something inside of it, yet she had no idea what it was.

While observing the box, she found flips on it. Thinking she can fiddle with them, she did just that, and the box soon opened up to reveal…

...A weird-looking food...thing.

Blinking at this, she sniffed it again. Although it has a different smell, the aroma was kind of appetizing. She gingerly lifted up the bun of this foreign food and saw that there was meat inside of it…

"...Interesting," Katara muttered.

She decided to get the odd food out of the box, and hold it with both hands. She drew the food close to her mouth, but she paused for a bit, a little cautious on taking a bite.

'...Well, it's just food right?'

And then Katara took a bite of the sandwich. She chewed…

...Her eyes widened again. The taste she was experiencing…

"...Oh. This is good," Katara said to herself with her mouth full. Then she took another bite, and another, and another...

'Wow. This world so far has some REALLY good food.'

Meanwhile...a bushy, green-haired, fourteen-year-old boy was approaching the same beach that Katara came out of.

"Whew! J-Just in time. Man, I'm g-glad I got here early," stuttered the boy, "Now I g-got to wait on All Might."

His mother went to bed early, so he left his apartment around 8:10 and arrived at Dagobah Beach around 8:29. The reason he's even going here at this hour was because he was being trained by a Hero whom he highly respects and admires...

That Hero, that man, was known as All Might.

This boy was named Izuku Midoriya, and he is pronounced Quirkless, meaning he has no special power. But during the past three months, he's been training to earn a Quirk. To receive it by none other than his idol himself.

He sat on a washing machine on the sandy beach to wait for All Might.

"Hmm…" He dug his hand into his pocket and looked at his phone screen, "Huh...he never replied back to me. Did he miss it?"

He looked at the time too on his phone.

8:32 PM

Izuku sat there and pondered on why All Might didn't text him…

"Maybe...he just got it and he's on his way right now? …But that wouldn't make much sense. I sent my text around nine o' two, and that would make him have enough time to reply back…" Izuku's eyes widened as he had a dreadful thought. "Oh man...maybe I caught him at the wrong time while he was fighting a tough Villain. Or he was napping after saving a bunch of people. Or maybe he was hurt or something! He does have that condition, and murmur, murmur, murmur, murmur-"

He kept on murmuring as he sat there thinking of the possibilities on why All Might, aka Toshinori Yagi, hasn't appeared yet.

Then he had another dreadful thought.

'Oh no! W-What if he was annoyed!? What-What if he got tired of training a-a-a Quirkless kid and thought I couldn't obtain it!? What if-What if he just forgot and-and...gave up on me!? I-I should've known, All Might wouldn't want to help someone like me, I'm just a-'

"I'M SO SORRY, I AM HERE!"

"AAAH!" Izuku fell back off the washing machine in shock, as the sudden bulky and broad figure of All Might appeared in front of him.

"Oh! Uh, Young Midoriya! I apologize for the wait! I was, um, taking a very late nap, and the time just passed by for-...uh, are you okay, Young Midoriya?"

Izuku's shaky hands picked himself up, staggering a bit as he began standing. "Y-Yeah, I-I'm fine, A-All Might. I j-just...n-need a breather…"

"Oh, um, okay…" All Might rubbed his head awkwardly, "Uh...do you want to do this another time, or-?"

"No!" Izuku said, instantly recovered, turning around as he had stars in his eyes, "I'm ready to train! Let's go!"

All Might just gives him a big grin. "Haha! That's the spirit, Young Midoriya! Now, how about we try something a little different, eh?"

After she finished her hamburger and fries, Katara laid her head at the side of the couch.

"Wooo...man, that was filling." Katara sighed, full from the meal. She turned on her side as she let her eyelids slowly close.

"I wonder what Mr. Yagi needed to do? He looked to be in a hurry. I hope...he's…" She yawned. "...okay. He looked like he was...bleeding..."

Katara then closed her eyes, and began to drift off to sleep, snoozing away…

Okay! Well, this is where I stop the chapter! I hope you'll all still follow this story. ^^; I feel like dragonfire-217's story is doing a good job on updating and telling the story, but I want to know if you all want to read this story as well. Although, I haven't read his later chapters, cause I fear that his will be like mine in a way, and I wanted to be original when I make this stuff up instead of reading someone else's story of the same concept. I hope that makes sense.

But really, I just hope you're all interested in this one! D: I promise to make mine different and enjoyable to read! Just know that I kind of take time to write stories like this, because I got plenty of stories to write. But I won't try to make any new stories anytime soon, cause that will be too much for me to handle when I'm trying to write stories like this. :O

Either way, I hope you all won't forget this story! :)

And yes, this chapter was a little shorter than the others, but I had to get this out for you all to let you see that I'm still writing it. And I hope you all still love it! Tell me how it is with a review, or if you can, give me a follow and a fave to show some love! :)

Thank you all for reading and supporting me! I hope you'll all stay for the next update! Until then, keep on rocking, everybody! ^_^
