Chapter Six: The Hero, Purity (Part Two)

He found that her name was Kagome.
She was probably the single most interesting hero he had ever met. There had been several times that they had been forced to work together and she acknowledged him during the mission only. Afterward, she completely ignored him! It was such a rarity for women to ignore him that he found himself only interested in her more. He had wondered if her name in the tabloids more frequently and connected to his had anything to do with him being the object of her cold shoulder... and occasionally her ire.
She had told him that she didn't like being in the media but now she shoved to the forefront of it - her face plastered next to his.
Most of his recent interviews had been filled with questions of the reticent heroine but he honestly had nothing to say on the matter. He tried to corner her and apologize for the mess but she was never to be found after a heroic duty or she would turn her nose up at him and walk away.
It was an interesting game he played with her one where he would ultimately walk away as the winner, of that he had little doubt.
He was the number one hero for a reason, he never lost a fight.
.
"Oh, Kagome-sama are you still mad?" The high pitched whine that followed the statement was met only with a frown and terse nod. "It's been weeks though! You can't stay mad forever and it was only to poke a little fun! I swear I never meant for all this craziness to happen!"
Piercing cerulean hues met the green ones and her frown deepened, "Mai-chan, what you did turned into a disaster." And then the miko turned away and headed to the main elevator.
Once at the top floor, she walked straight and with a nod at the secretary, and the main office before closing the door behind her. There was the sound of rustling paper and the clacking of keys before a happy yip sounded in the office. Seconds later she had an armful of cream and red fur and she was gazing into vibrant green orbs. She couldn't stop the smile from tilting her lips and she buried her head in the neck of the little fox in her arms before breathing out, "Hello, Shippo!"
Pop! And seconds later the fox youkai was standing in front of her, looking down at her now, "I'm so busy, please tell me you're here to save me!"
She laughed and shook her head before walking passed him, "No, Sesshoumaru asked me to check in on you periodically while he was away to make sure you weren't 'neglecting your duties'."
A fake sob wracked through the youkai as he brought a hand to his chest, "You wound me."
Her eyes darted to him as she paused, "No, I don't Miroku Junior." Fingering through the pages at his desk, she stopped at a tabloid with her face plastered all over it. Exasperated she asked, "Why do you have this?"
With a hop and a skip, the kitsune smirked as he grabbed the tabloid and opened it up so she could see the imposing figure on the other page. Her jaw clenched irritably and she crossed her arms over her chest. "You shouldn't be so mad at him, Kagome. He has called here several times looking for you. It sounds like he's interested."
Her cheeks burned crimson and her eyes glittered with anger, "Well the world thinks we're together and there is too much media around him! And don't forget he never asked me out on a proper date!"
Rolling his eyes, Shippo shook out the paper in front of her, "Look at him! Who cares about the media! This hunk of man has shown interest! I mean, I don't even really like men all that much but if he were to show interest in me?" There was a pop and a female version of her friend stood there, long hair tight dress, and breasts bigger than anything she had seen. "Wham bam and thank you SIR!"
She couldn't stop her lips from twitching upward, "Point taken, Shippo, please turn back - your boobs are distracting." Pop! "Thank you!"
Shippo sighed and placed his hand on his hips, "Kagome, you haven't been on a date that I know of since we found you. It's been years. The last time I smelled sex on you, i think I was still a kit." Kagome's cheeks burned crimson again. Shippo stepped forward and his eyes softened, his tail swishing behind him slowly, "I know it's hard for you, your love life has always been complicated but I know you find him attractive and that's the first step. Why not try?"
"Because the media - "
Shippo cut her off with a growl, "The media ain't shit and you know it." Bringing her in for a hug, Kagome relaxed in his arms, "Just try, Sesshoumaru and I have researched the heck out of him and he is purer than a white piece of paper. He's a good guy for all intents and purposes and you need that."
Unwilling to respond, Kagome just nodded and enjoyed his embrace.
.
There were some villains that could take a hit.
And right now he was fighting one.
It wasn't the fact that he could take hit that made All Might nervous, it was the fact that it was in a densely populated area and despite him calling out for people to run... people continued to stick around and record the encounter on their phones.
His smile never wavered but internally he was trying to ensure that everyone stayed safe.
However, damage to the surrounding area was always a massive possibility when he fought.
And right now it was a certainty as he pulled back his right hand and delivered a powerful punch that sent his foe flying into the nearest building. The front of the building began a steady collapse but that didn't deter the villain. In fact, the rubble rumbled and the other man stepped out, dusting himself off as he laughed.
"Wow you sure pack a punch!" The villain was easily as big as All Might but the hero knew he had more strength, it was just a matter of keeping everyone safe around him. The villain rolled his shoulders and cracked his neck before bounding forward to display his power, his own arm arched back, "Now here's mine!"
Digging his heels into the ground, All Might waited for a punch that would never come.
The bright colored shield that shimmered before him made his lips twitch and heart stop all at once.
She's here!
The villains punch landed on the shield and it shimmered with the absorption.
Her footsteps were quiet as she stepped beside him but he could hear her all the same. The whisper of her clothing against her skin, her slight intake of breath at seeing him. He turned to look at her and unlike other times, she met his eyes, her cerulean hues dark but determined, "You can never keep out of trouble, can you?"
His smile grew and he stood tall, "Never!" He placed his hands in his hips as he greeted her boisterously, "Good to see you again, Purity!"
She ducked her head and nodded once before turning to the villain, "I'll take care of the civilians, make this quick, yeah?"
There was something different this time as he looked her.
He was going to defeat the villain, of that he was sure, but he could wait just another second while he determined what was so different about her.
Eyes narrowed, he started with her feet as he drank her in and moved his gaze upward.
When he reached her face his breath caught because after several weeks of frowns and scowls there it was - a smile.
His heart raced as he took in her lovely lips curled into a shy but soft smile.
He would look back and wonder in future years if this was the moment he fell in love with her or if it was when he saved her that first time. It was definitely going to be a toss up between the two. He found it in himself to shake off the spell he was under and nod while he jumped into the fray - confident that she would keep the nosy civilians safe.
It was over quickly when he didn't have to worry about others to keep out of harms way. Villain bound and carted off, he was looking for her in the chaos of reporters and civilians alike just as he had each time before. Usually she made herself scarce very quickly but she was off to the side, several other reporters asking her various questions. She took it all gracefully, crimson dusting her nose and tucking a lock of curling hair of her ear.
Kagome had stuck around this time.
" - Miss Purity again. Quite the dynamic you two are, wouldn't you agree All Might?" He turned to the report that had asked the question and smiled brightly.
"I believe that is all the time I have this evening, everyone! Off to save more people as the night continues!" he loudly declared and then he made his way toward her. People cleared the way, after all how were there going to stop such an imposing man? They continued to yell out questions and snap pictures as he came to her side. She looked up at him and her brows were furrowed.
"Can you get us out of here?"
Surprised, although he didn't show it, he nodded as he turned to several officers. He gesture with his head to the crowd and they began crowd control, used to having to do this for him over the years so that he could escape.
"Alright everyone! Back up, back up! This is a crime scene after all and it's dangerous!" As the police began to corral everyone, he guided her to the side through an alley quickly.
A little further away and in the darkness, he asked her, "Better?"
As they came to a stop she shook her head, "Would you mind going somewhere a little more - " she cleared her throat and looked down before squeaked, " - private?"
All Might's eyes glowed blue in the darkness and he lowered his typical boisterous voice to a more subdued volume as he became concerned, "Is there something wrong? Usually you are running away from me by now, not that I am complaining."
Kagome continued to look down and she choked out, "No! Nothing is wrong! It's just - I just need somewhere that no one can see!"
Nodding once, a little bit stiffly, he gestured to her, "May I?" Having been his arms several times before, she understood and nodded sharply. He leaned over and scooped her into his arms. She felt the subtle flex of his muscles as she leaned against his chest, sitting in one arm, waiting for him to jump. When he did. she heard the ground crack beneath his feet but soon they were in the air and atop one of the higher buildings in the area.
When they landed, he placed her gently to sit at the ledge of the building and she nodded her thanks. He crouched in front of her, his brows furrowed, still a little concerned, "What's going on?"
Their eyes met, his glowing electric orbs and hers the color of the ocean's depths.
She was blushing full force now, "I have been running from you."
He smiled and declared, "Yes, you have!"
Take a deep breath she uttered, "I don't like the media."
He chuckled, smile widening, "So I gathered!"
"You're very handsome, All Might."
At that he paused and his smile faltered just a bit as he mentally yelled at his heart to stop pounding, "C-Call me Toshinori!" He was curious as to where this was going.
Kagome nodded once, her face suffused with color that was creeping down her collar, "O-okay, T-Toshinori. You have been asking around for me so... here I am." She took a breath and her gaze was steady as she took in his features, "I am not running."
His lips broke into a larger smile and he gently took her smaller hand in his, "Purity... Kagome, would you go on a date with me?"
After a moment of hesitation she smiled, still shy, "Yes, Toshinori, I will."
Warmth burned him and he couldn't stop himself from leaning over and brining her into the circle of his arms.
Slowly, she hugged him back, taking the moment to enjoy his strong arms wrapped around her.
His voice rumbled through her, "Tomorrow. Breakfast - something easy. Come to my condo and I'll make you breakfast this way there is no media and no pressure."
Kagome ducked her head deeper into his embrace, the consideration he was showing her, making her flush.
Tightening her hold, she smiled, "Deal."
