Author's Note: So, this follows the manga chapters fairly closely. But rather the important events with Izuku Midoriya. but I did give a bit of an insight into why she left Japan. Also, note, that when a person has suffered a trauma they don't get the fuck over it immedately, it lingers. More-so if they are reintroduced to the cause of said trauma. So if you do not like that, I politely ask you toturn around and leave now. Because I don't see the point in you wasting your time and mine.


Kagome stood there, looking around with the rest of the group who had shown up for the shopping trip. It had been a while since she had been in Japan. And the crowded streets of the Mall were a bit overwhelming for her. But still, she felt happy and slightly at ease. All the aurea she was seeing around everyone was telling though it didn't help her feel normal in the slightest. Especially when people started recognizing those in the small group, it was hard for her to keep from laughing aloud at the reactions.

Though Kagome watched as they all split up after deciding a time and place to meet up, when it was just Izuku, Uraraka, and herself, Kagome opened her mouth. But snapped it shut as the girl blushed as she looked at Izuka, who was just staring after the others. A knowing smile curling her lips as Izuka finally addressed. Just to have the poor girl rush off screaming about Bug repellant. It was just too much, and Kagome found herself chuckling to herself as she watched Izuka look confused before a person in a black hoodie came up to him, draping an arm casually over his shoulder and leading him away.

Something about that person and their Aura, or lack of one, had Kagome locking up and shivering. Body froze to where she stood, unable to move and intervene as the person led Izuka away. A part of her mind fighting to repress something important. The ominous presence that the person had left Kagome speechless. Because it was familiar, in a not too good manner, and it wasn't helping that crowds that were walking around, not even noticing the duo. Or her, for that matter. It was apparent, even without seeing her friend's Aura, that he was panicked, scared even. Yet even words would not come to her lips as she wanted.


He couldn't seem to do anything but let the man, Shigaraki Tomura, lead him away. Everything in him said that this was a dangerous situation. And it didn't help that they'd left Kagome back there. Silently he hoped that she would just vanish and not come to be noticed by this man. He was deranged. But this could be used to my advantage, gathering information.

"The moment all five of my fingers touch your throat, you will start crumbling from the throat down. Turned to dust."

Swallowing shallowly as I tried to speak bravely, "I-if you do, then a hero... A hero f-from the crowd will come to capture you."

Staying stiff as Shigaraki pointed to the crowd, his confidence evident as he spoke about how many he could take down before a hero came. And that included my death as a casualty. Leaving Izuka feeling overwhelmed by it all and putting a few things into a new perspective, as he was led to a small area that held plants and sat down next to the man.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"That's the spirit!"

Being told to relax was one thing; doing it was harder for him. Listening to him speak about the Hero killer, how it pissed him off that Society had lumped him with his group. That he had overshadowed everything that Shigaraki was trying to do, as I tried to figure out why no one was looking at us. At least until he asked me what the difference between the two of them, using my last name.

It had me confused for a second before I gave my reply. Telling him that I didn't understand or accept him. But what I didn't recognize the Hero Killer, but did understand him. Explaining what I saw, felt to him. Before telling him that I thought the Hero Killers methods were wrong, even if he tried living according to his idea. Which had the man burst out laughing, then saying he finally understood why the Hero Killer pissed him off and that he found me annoying. All because of All Might! Before spewing a lot of hate-filled words, while tightening his hold on my neck.

That panic that was being kept contained started to overflow, causing Izuka to try and pull that hand from his throat — only earning a low admonishment not to struggle. It was at that moment that Uraraka decided to show back up. Calling out to him, then it was over. Shigaraki was letting go, pretending indifference as he left again into the crowd. Even as I called out, asking him what All For One's Ultimate Goal was. Before being brushed off and told that the next time that we met, it would be because he wanted to kill me.


She was still frozen in the same spot, even after minutes had passed. That lack of an aura is still there and heading towards her again. Doing her best to keep her eyes downwards, Kagome stiffened as he walked past her. Her eyes were darting up just as he passed her, meeting his for but a second or two as he moved by her. It was at that moment her fight or flight instinct kicked back in. Body shuddering as she stepped away as he continued on his way, that she bolted. She was pushing through the crowd at a frantic pace.

Her mind was dredging up the images she wanted to keep repressed from all those years ago. There was no mistaking who that guy was. What he had done that night that had forced her into action, thus making her have to leave Japan. He had been there with that other man. Sucking in a breath as she stumbled from the crowd, coming to a stop outside a store. Placing a hand on it as she tried to calm herself, Kagome shut her eyes, trying desperately to make the memories go away. It would do no good for her to let her abilities flare up and out of control. Making her a beacon.

"Kagome?"

Eyes snapping open, a soft squeak escaping from her lips as she spun. Seeing two familiar people, she couldn't stop herself. Kagome backed up, shaking before she bolted back into the crowd. Leaving her two classmates, Tenya Iida and Eijiro Kirishima, to stare after her, worry on their faces. There was no helping it; she was caught in the past and didn't want them to be ground zero as she felt her "quirk" surface and fluctuate.

She ran, long and hard into the crowds, until her chest hurt, the pain was creeping down her sides and into her legs. Which finally gave out as she pushed out of the crowd once more. Into an alleyway where she curled up into a small ball behind some trash cans. Unaware of the tears falling her pale, yet flushed face. Body shaking.


He watched as the others were arriving after Uraraka called the cops. It brought a small bit of relief to him. Izuku looked at them all, trying to remain calm. Then I was whisked off to the precinct. A little, niggling thought at the back of my head that something was off, someone was not present. Then giving a statement, Izuku began to lament his lack of ability to do anything when All Might showed up. From there, it was a quick interlude before it dawned on me what had seemed out of place earlier.

Looking up at All Might, Izuku pulled out his phone. Glancing at it, there were a few texts. But none from who he had hoped for — confirming what he feared. Opening the top one from Iida, Izuku hissed low, getting the attention of his mother and All Might.

"What is wrong?"

"With everything happening earlier, I thought something was off. And now I have confirmation," Izuku said, lifting his phone to show his mother and All Might.

It was the look that crossed his hero's face that clued Izuku in that there was more to Kagome's reason for leaving than he had even guessed at. Frowning, his mother began to fawn over him, making it impossible for Izuku to ask All Might. He decided to text Iida back and get the specifics, as well as a group text to find his friend. He was making sure to include Ka-chan in the group. Because if there was one thing he still knew, Ka-chan would go and find her.

TBC!
