I don't own MHA.

Inuko PoV

I was being kept from school for a couple of days because of my eye injury. Lucky Yano only cut over the len, so after it heals up, I'll be able to see perfectly fine.

7:45am, I rested on the couch as my parents left for to their jobs. I clench my phone that was bombing with text messages from Yano. I just ignored them, I didn't feel like talking to her after what she did. I'm frankly surprised that Sukia-

And that's where the door was flung open. "Hey my rebellious friend, why are you still in your pajamas and what happen to your eye?"

I sat up while sighing. "Yano happen."

"That's what I wanted to talk about, she came out with a busted no-"

"I've had nothing to do with that. It was my mom who did it..." I stated before Sukia got any ideas. Sukia sat beside me, staring at my bandaged eye for a moment. She tried to touch but I smacked her hand away. "Move you jerk, shouldn't you be going to school?

"Oh..." Sukia let out a few fake coughs before sitting next to me, she then kicked her shoes off and flung her legs over my lap. "I'm too sick to go to school."

"You'll get in trouble." I pointed out.

"That's if you don't be a little snitch."

I was going to say something until she shoved her foot inside my mouth. I backed up and cough while spitting out my internal organs. "Hey! What the heck was that for?!"

"You were going to convince me to leave."

"I ought boot you out for that!"

"Heh, I like to see you try. Even at your best, I'll kick your ass!"

I sighed. "You only beat me one time."

"Let's have a rematch then!"

"I-" I look away nervously. "My eye hurts."

Sukia chuckled and poked me in my wounded eye, I grunted loudly and smacked her hand away. "Stop torturing me!"

But she only continued as she hopped off the couch and got behind me. "Guack!" I grunted as she choked me out with a sleeper hold.

"Submit to me loser! Admit that I'm the strongest!"

I kicked and slammed my feet on the ground repeatedly, she only added pressure that forced me to yell it out. "You're the strongest!"

"Good!" She released the submission and flopped right beside me.

She probably wanted something, I just knew it. "What do you want?" I asked.

"Why do you ask?"

"You're being too touchy."

"Which is new, how?"

"Just what do you want?"

"I can't enjoy being around my guy friend? Still cruel as ever."

I groaned and soon got up and went to bedroom, I was planning on going outside so I thought to change my clothes. As I undressed out of my pj's, I was going to my drawers to find some clothes until I saw Sukia searching through my closet. "EHH!" I flung myself under my bedsheets, wrapping myself under them. "W-what are you doing here?"

"Looking for a jacket to hide my appearance." She replied, she then look away. "Don't worry, I don't want to see your tiny body."

"My body isn't tiny!" I exclaimed.

She then saw a shoe box, hanging on a shelf. Curious, she tip toed herself and grabbed the box. Opening, she found a load of cash inside it. "Don't you dare!" I said, spying on her. I already had me on a shirt and sports shorts.

Her hand was reaching for the cash.

"Please! I was saving up for an Nintendo Switch."

"I'll pay you back!"

"You already said that when you blackmailed me! And I haven't got anything in return!"

"I'm for real this time. C'mon, money isn't meant for saving anyway! You need to spend it."

I furrowed my eyebrows out of anger. She grabbed the entire stash and stuffed it into into a pocket. "Come on, let's go." She says while grabbing one of my sweaters.

We've both headed out with her yanking my arm. "Where are we going?"

"Where were you planning to go?"

"To train."

"Scratch that, we're gonna explore."

She suddenly carried me over the guard rails before tossing me over it. I scream for dear-life and thudded right onto my shoulder. "Argh."

"Get off your ass." Sukia says while landing onto her feet and jogged out into the opening.

I caught up with her shortly while still grunting. "Jerk! You should've warned me before throwing me off!"

"You're a cat! You should've landed on your feet automatically."

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"You'll see."

We were jogging for a while but we've finally stopped at a...toy store? "A toy store?"

"Yup. You like toys don't you?"

I stared at her confusingly. "I do but you?"

It was afterwards, I followed her into the toy store where we adventure through the entire store. "What are we getting?"

"A toy helicopter! I always wanted one of those when I was little." She said, while glancing at each shelf.

I found the toy helicopters on a higher shelf and decided to get it for her. "Here, I found them." I said, handing it over to her.

She smiled gratefully but realized I didn't got myself one. She grabbed another one and handed it to me. "It won't be fun if I'm playing by myself."

I stared at the toy and gave a small smile. "At least batteries are included."

Bringing them to the cashier, Sukia look around as if she forgotten something. "I'll be back, wait for me outside." She said, giving the right amount of money to for the two helicopters. The cashier place them in a bag before handing them to me.

I showed my gratitude by bowing as I then left. I checked my nonexistent watch, waiting for Sukia. As she came out, I groaned. "What took you so long?"

"Oh no reason." Sukia says while looking at me with a very evil smile as she kept her hands behind her back. "Inuko, think fast!"

"Huh-" My eyes widen when she suddenly had massive toy hands around hers, aiming them both at me. "Wai-"

The hands suddenly blasted toward me as if they were rockets, the fuel was her water. "Dah!" I grunted as the hands was slammed right into my abdomen. "Argh! Jesus!"

Sukia laughed hysterically as she picked the massive gloves up. "Hahaha, I told you to think fast!"

"Grr, you know, one of these days I'll get back at you."

She playfully cupped my cheeks with the massive gloves. "Can't wait for that day, loser." She says while nudging my forehead.

We've continue with our scroll until I saw Neji, going to his car with a few light groceries. I waved. "Hey Neji!"

Neji glance over to me and surprisingly recognized me. "Hey, cat boy isn't it?"

"Its Inuko." I replied while heading over to him, Sukia followed him while staring at unfamiliar Neji person. "Whatcha doing?" I asked.

"Just getting some groceries. What about you? Shouldn't you be in school?"

I pointed at the bandage that was over my eye. "Got a vicious cut over my eye so..." I chuckled.

"I see." He said while placing his groceries in the trunk. "Who's your friend."

"Sukia Kaiyo, skipping school."

"Straight forward aren't ya? I'm not a nark so don't worry."

"So, do you need help?" I asked.

"Nah but I enjoy the company. Tag along if you like."

I smiled happily but Sukia brought me back to speak secretly. "Why are you trying to get in a car with a total stranger?"

"You don't know him? That's Neji, he played as a villain back at the Unforeseen Simulation Joint to train us. Not only that but he's a detective."

Sukia still didn't wanted to travel with some random old guy, I gave her the puppy eyes look since I really needed to learn something from Neji. "Woof..."

"Ugh." Sukia groaned.

I found myself in the front passenger seat while Sukia was in the back. "So, is that your girlfriend in the back?" Neji asked while driving off.

"No way!" I exclaimed.

I then got slapped straight in the mouth. "You didn't have to speak so fast."

"Ow! B-but we aren't..."

"I know that but the way you say it sounds like I'm terrible to date."

Neji chuckled at our little argument, I then changed the subject while rubbing my lip. "S-so, I want to ask. You can produce your long-distance attack, right?"

"Yeah, I can. My quirk was originally known as a long ranger, however I learn how to develop it into an empowerment quirk."

"Oh really? I thought it was the other way around."

"Most people would think that. But the thing is, I can shoot my quirk from every part of my body but I can also contain it in to increase my physical skills."

"Can you help me develop a long range attack?"

"That depends. Not everyone's quirk can develop a long range attack, that's why the Support Department exist."

After what felt like a long ride, we've parked in front of his garage. "So do you want to train with me or something?"

"Yes, I don't have anything better to do."

We've prepared ourselves in his backyard after setting up his groceries in his house. His house was very well-organized and wealthy despite it not being a mansion or anything. I activated my cat quirk while putting up my dukes. "Let's spar for a bit, its the only way I could discover your abilities."

I nodded and charge at him head first. It wasn't a smart idea but I trusted my speed. Neji launch a punch first that I ducked under of while running behind him. Neji then swung a backhand that I was able to react but not dodge. I blocked the attack with both my forearms but was sent flying during the process. "Argh!" I grunted while being driven across the ground.

I got back up rather easily, only to see Neji shooting toward me. I skipped out the way to avoid a very powered up punch that created a small shockwave. I slash my claws but Neji block it with his arm which left a stinging glaze. I then jumped back again to avoid another attack from him, that until he caught me in midair. "Revolting Disc!"

I was blasted back that left me barreling back onto the ground. "Come on! Show me that spinning move."

I got back up and started to gain momentum by running insane fast before leaping into air before rotating very fast that created an air pressure. "Lion Driller!"

Neji shield himself with his arms while also empowering them with his quirk. Like before, when we collided, we repelled each other with me being blown back the furthest. Neji only lost his footing before dropping onto his behind. I flipped onto my feet and was ready to attack again until Neji shouted. "WE'RE DONE!"

"Huh?"

"That move there, I think it gave me an idea."

I was curious and desperate to know. "You know how you wine that wind up when you spin?"

"Yeah?"

"How do you do that?"

"It's because my increased speed. The fast I spin, the more wind I generate. Its like being a fan." I explained.

"Okay, hear me out. What if you do something like that but you launch it out toward your opponent. You know like how I create a shockwave with my punches?"

"Oh, yeah! I can do something similar to that!" I said before thinking. Both the Lion Driller and Tiger Buster were both momentum charged moves. I was lost in my train of thought for a while which left Neji concern.

"You okay?"

Knock out my thoughts, I chuckled nervously. "Y-yeah! I'm just trying to figure out a name and how I'm suppose to do it."

"I'm going to cook some sea bream. If you looking to train, I some workout tools in the basement."

I taken his offer and went to his basement to see many workout tools. I mainly worked with the dumbbells and done abdomen exercises such as situps and dragon stretches, all while thinking of my new technique and Yano. I called her phone but I didn't get any answer.

I sighed, I figured that she'll be angry with me since I've been ignoring her rapid messages last night. When I was eating Neji's cooked Sea Beam along with Sukia, he spoke up to me. "So tell me about yourself kid."

"O-oh, there's nothing interesting about me...what about you? Someone with a strong quirk should be well-known."

"Well-known?! Heh, kid back in my day, I was rolling with both All Might and Endeavor. I was the no.3 hero! Hell, I could've been no.2!"

"What happen?" Sukia asked.

"Huh?"

"Why aren't you a top hero anymore?" Sukia questioned.

"Me and some other heroes got in a destructive fight with some villains. They weren't your everyday ones either." Neji replied, pulling back his sleeve to show his robotic arm. "I lost an arm because of that shit and some innocent civilians die. That left me devastated and I was forced to retire but I was okay with that, I got to spend more time with my daughter." Neji shown me a picture of little girl with periwinkle hair, smiling brightly. "She's a heroine too."

"Isn't that Nejire Hado?" Sukia asked.

"Yeah, she got her last name from her mother. You know her?" He said.

"In person? No, but I heard that she was apart of the big three back in UA and I've seen her in the newspapers time from time." Sukia replied.

Neji smiled brightly. "Yup, that's my girl."

Me and Sukia finished our Sea Beam with Sukia sitting up and stretching her arms out. "Okay, me and my friend are gonna take off. Thanks for the food."

"Need a ride?"

"No." Sukia bluntly replied.

"B-but I-"

Sukia wasn't gonna give me a say as she yanked on my ear and headed to the door with our belongings. "O-ow! S-see you around Neji!"

Now outside, Sukia finally released my ear. "Geez, what's your problem?" I asked.

"I skipped school to spend time with my friend, not hang out at retired hero's house, loser." She said while thumping my forehead.

I rolled my eyes as I then heard a phone call. Picking it up, I saw that it was Yuriko. I stood some distance away from Sukia so she wouldn't hear. "Hello?"

"Did you steal my fucking dairy?"

"What?" I spat.

"You heard me."

I sighed. "Yes, I did."

She didn't say anything for a moment which had me concern. I was going to say something until she spoke. "How much did you read?" She asked.

"I've read enough. Yuriko, you should come back."

"I can't. I don't wanna get your parents in trouble."

"Then how can I help?" I asked.

"Watch your back. Kazawa knows about you and is using Gehimasu and his friends as puppets. I'm trying to find a way to contact my grandma parents in South Korean."

I wasn't surprised, Gehimasu did told me to watch my back as if it was a threat but I'm far from phase and shaken by empty threats from a insect. "I'll call you back." Yuriko hung up.

I put my phone back in my pocket with Sukia look at me with her eyebrows cocked upward. "Speaking to other girls, huh? Can't wait until Yano hears about this."

"Wait! It isn't like that!"

"I'm just fuckin with ya. What's it about though?"

"None of your business."

Sukia bought out her phone about to dial Yano's phone number. "Tell me or I'll tell Yano that you're getting night calls from other girls."

My cheeks brighten up red. "I-I don't get night calls! And when I do, they're from you."

Sukia nudged my shoulder. "Whatcha tryin to say? You don't enjoy my company?"

"I do!"

Sukia grinned. "Want me to come over?"

"No!" I exclaim with my face burning crimson. "Why are you and Yano are such perverts..."

Sukia laughed. "I'm not a pervert but I do enjoy teasing your submissive ass."

I didn't know how to reply to that. After gaining some balls, I was still consider a light weight. Not that I was surprised, I lost against Sukia and Akatsueki...but that was going to change after I figure out a way to create a long-range attack with my hands. "Thanks for reminding me that I need to go see Yano after school. Ya know, I been a jerk to her and honestly, I do miss hanging out with her."

"That's...very sweet." I thought with a blush appearing on my face. We've later took the bus ride home.

The rest of the day was simple, the two of us were having fun with our toy helicopters. "Damn, it would be cool if these helicopters could shoot lasers or something." Sukia said.

"Stop going too far! Your remote is gonna lose-" Right when I was about to say it, her helicopter fell and hit the ground hard, breaking. "signal."

"Fuck!" She stomped the ground.

I returned back my helicopter so I wouldn't become a victim of the ground. "Where's Buru?"

"At school?"

My eyes shrink, did she say he's at school? "Seriously? Why is he at school?!"

Sukia shrugged. "He just wanted to go."

I snapped. "You dumbass! Didn't you forget the black eye he had?!"

Sukia was surprised that I cursed but it didn't make her happy that I was directing it toward her. "No, I didn't. But it isn't bad. And you better stop yelling at me like I won't kick your ass!" She lightly shoved me.

I then opened my door so I could sit my helicopter inside, suddenly I grabbed and yanked her inside by her arm. "Yo, dude what the fuck is your problem?! You want to fight?" She snatched away from me as I slam the door shut.

"Sukia, shut up and listen! Buru is a target at school! They're going to beat him up!"

"No they won't and Inuko, my brother is his own human being. I told him that I was staying here and he wanted to go to school instead."

"But why?!" I thought. What was his plan? Buru knows that he couldn't fight by himself...or can he? "Sit on the couch, I need to read you something." I said while running to my room, Sukia just shrug her shoulders and headed to the kitchen.

I returned back to Yuriko's diary, I now had mixed feelings on telling Sukia since she wanted me to hand it over to the authorities before. Sukia waited for me on the couch with a large bowl of popcorn, I didn't questioned it and sat beside her. Eating some popcorn, she glance over to the diary with a dumbfounded glaxe. "That's a girl's diary."

"I know! But let me read it to you!"

"Let me guess, it has some dark, gruesome fantasies in there, I'm assuming?"

"I- wouldn't say fantasies."

Not holding back, I read the part where Yuriko talks about her adoption and being a victim of molestation and rape. Surprisingly Sukia didn't walk away with the disgust look she was making at me. But after I finished the disgusting part, I begin reading the part about Gehimasu.

First meeting Gehimasu.

I met this boy called Gehimasu...and I think I'm developing feelings for him. He's crude, mean, and a jerk to kids who would be called geeks, dorks or nerds but I kinda found that attracting. He wanted to be my friend and wanted me to join his little gang since I sometimes do the same.

I didn't wanted to act out on my feelings since everyone knows me as a boy, Crimson. But it didn't matter anyway since he had a girlfriend named Sukia.

Sukia rised an eyebrow, angrily.

I've seen this Sukia girl before and knew I didn't have a chance. She dresses like a tomboy or a girl who's going to a punk-rock concert. Not only that but she was in the Hero Course, meaning she was on top of the food-chain when it comes to toughness. That's what the other delinquents would in these circumstances. I cast away those feelings. I didn't need them anyway, besides, I do like us better as friends.

_

My feelings for Gehimasu was becoming mix ever since he met Kazawa and finding out that Sukia wasn't actually his girlfriend. It was like he became a tool. I couldn't say why because Gehimasu didn't knew what he done to me and if he did found out, he might end up like Safaran. I've heard that Gehimasu didn't had a father figure so Kazawa was able to manipulate him?

First meeting Inuko.

This boy with brown haired in the hero course we've been bullying. It was different though, Gehimasu made us constantly bully him and it was because the guy was talking or looking at Sukia? I didn't know.

Strangely though, I enjoyed it. It unlocked an sadistic side, I felt in control and I felt like I could release all my rage onto him. Watching him bleed...cry...coward in fear, it reminded me of myself and I hated it. Probably another reason why I enjoy beating him, I hated my helpless self.

I've grown tired of it though unlike Gehimasu and Jorge. Jorge was just a tool for Gehimasu and does whatever he says while Gehimasu just hated Inuko. Things with Kazawa though still hadn't change, I kept getting violated and I kept my mouth shut. But I had a plan.

After Inuko's murderous incident.

Now I'm sleeping on the floor of the kid that I released all of my frustration on. It was strange, so strange that I didn't know how to explain it. Even though I was away from that freak who tries to be my father, I felt helpless. When I look at Inuko, I feel like if I do the slightest thing to him, he'll kick me out on my ass. I had to fill in my promise and tell Gehimasu to back off.

The writing was different on this page, it was all crazy-like and was all capital.

HE WANTED TO EMBARRASS ME?! MAKE ME FEEL TERRIBLE!? I show him then! IF ANYONE IS READING THIS, INUKO HAS DRIVEN ME TO SUICIDE! I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM!

My mind was blank when I read this part, I didn't know how to respond to that. I continue to read.

My body feels so terrible but better when I start cutting myself and was knocking on death's door. I was surprised that I didn't die though and I was surprised he came to my rescue. Again, it was strange. I didn't think the person who I beat up on would save my worthless life. I hated it...but I loved it too...

I hated it because my life wasn't worth living and because the person who saved me but...I loved it too...because I felt that someone cared about me? Even if he didn't think that, I did.

During Inuko's party.

I stayed hidden in Inuko's room. I didn't want to cause any drama. Inuko let me play with his phone, I guess? Inuko's party is loud and surprisingly lit.

The day after the party.

As I keep saying, me living with Inuko keeps getting strange. Last night, I was going to sleep since the party was coming to end and decided to let Inuko's phone charge since it was getting low. But a girl, with white haired came in. I remember seeing her with class 1b students so I knew she was part of the hero course. She was lurking through Inuko's phone. I spoken up and gotten her attention.

She look at me with her eyes sickeningly widened. She then launch me and pinned me down with one hand and a knee. The other hand, she brought out a small pocket knife which halted my chance to struggle. I wonder how this small petite girl was so strong, I scared for my life. She asked me if I was Inuko's girlfriend and I said no very fast which brought up a smirk on her face. She then said while having the knife close to my neck. "If you tell anyone this, I'll know. With a snap, I'll have your corpse rotting in a dumpster."

I didn't take those words lightly and nodded. As she left, I had the urge to cry again. It was like, I could never escape bad luck. But lucky for me, I cried myself to sleep before Inuko could notice.

My stomach twisted when I read that, I knew now that Yano was a spazz...but I didn't think she'll use death threats and actually had someone fear for their life. The bowl was almost empty and Sukia...surprisingly didn't felt weirded out. "Yano...god, I don't..."

"Was that all?" Sukia asked.

"Didn't you hear what I just read!? Why would she bring a knife to my party? It's a party!" I shouted.

Sukia knew that Inuko would find something was up. "She has a problem, she gets maniac episodes sometimes."

That would make sense, Sukia stood up. "I gotta go, gonna take the bus ride to Yano's house. The rest of your money is on the kitchen counter!" Sukia says while leaving out the apartment.

I was still annoyed that she forced me to take my money out but I was okay with it since it was kind of fun.

School was over and I was resting on Yano's bed, waiting for her. It didn't take a while for her to come. "Hey shorty!"

Yano eyes widened, surprised. "Sukia? What are you doing here?"

"I'm your best friend? I can't come here now?" Sukia said while walking over to her friend.

Yano crossed her arms while looking away. "Inuko called me and-"

Sukia grabbed Yano's hands, noticing that she was wearing a long-sleeve under her school shirt. Yano immediately snatched her hands away but Sukia grabbed it again, pulling up her sleeves to see the self-inflicted cuts. "Dude, what the fuck?"

"Get out my house."

"I thought you were done with this-"

"It's your fault anyways!" Yano cut off Sukia.

"H-how is it my fault?!" Sukia exclaimed.

Yano clutched her fists. "You know how it is! When you catch feelings for someone, you suddenly up and abandoned me like we weren't best friends since kindergarten."

This was a long time coming and honestly she wanted this to happen just to know how Yano really feels. "Okay but tell me how that makes it my fault?"

"The main reason why I dated Inuko because I knew you were liking him."

Sukia wasn't surprised but felt angered that she openly admitted that. "Do you know how douchy that is? You're suppose to be my best friend! Stealing someone I like isn't going to grab my attention. And why do you need a boyfriend anyways? Did you forget about all the other boyfriends you had who "up and disappeared.""

"It doesn't matter! Like I've said, every time you find someone you like, you ignore and forget that I exist. You've done it before with that asshole Lax and you were doing it again with Inuko!"

"So I can't have a boyfriend. That's what you're saying?"

Yano went silent, she didn't want to say it but she totally felt that way. Sukia place her hands on Yano's shoulder as she let out a sigh. "If you felt that way Yano, you should've told me. I know how you are, I know what you've been through. But doing what you did then wasn't cool.

Yano sighed and hugged Sukia tightly, sniveling...she broke down into tears. "I-I'm sorry, I-"

Yano heard her phone ring a notification, she got it out from her phone to see a message from Inuko. "So, was it true that you only dated Inuko because of me?"

"Partial, the other reasons are obvious to you."

Sukia went to lay back on Yano's bed. "That reminds me, you brought a knife to that party me and Inuko made. Why?"

Yano was texting back to Inuko while still texting Inuko. "That's not important, your brother was found brutally beaten in one of the boys bathroom."

Yano: Come over tomorrow, please.

Inuko: Okay.

Sukia shot up. "You serious?"

Yano nodded, putting her phone on charger. "It was like he was attacked by a bear and hunters just came and ransacked him, you get my drift?"

Sukia stood there in a state of shock, Inuko was right but it didn't make sense to her. If Buru knew he was a target, then why would he be so eager to go to school.

"Wanna run an autopsy?" Yano asked.

"M-my brother is dead?"

While her phone was on charger, Yano sent Sukia two images. Sukia went to her inboxes with her eyes widened. Her brother's face had so many bruises and clawing, Yano sat beside her to look closely at the image. "Your brother isn't dead. But look at this." She pointed at the clawing marks. "That was most-likely performed by someone with an animalistic quirk."

"Okay...but anyone can have animalistic quirk, take Inuko for an example."

Yano went to the other picture that only shown bloody foot prints that were scattered around. Sukia didn't get what this image was about but she figured that Yano knew something. "You see that?"

"What about it?"

"Those feet prints, they're scattered around and some are even close together in different directions. Either someone loves pacing around or your brother has more than one attacker."

Sukia stared at the picture, dumbfounded. "How did you get these?"

"I was close by when they found Buru's body. Knowing how you're protective over your little brother, I decided to get some evidence that might help you if you're looking to find your brother's attacker."

Sukia went to the contacts to call Inuko since he knew more about Buru's enemies. "Sukia?" Inuko called out.

"Inuko, you remember that conversation about Buru. Well, you were right."

Inuko sighed. "I hate to say I told you so."

"Shut the fuck up Inuko! Its serious!" Sukia shouted into her phone. "My brother was nearly killed by someone or some people. Do you think you can come to school tomorrow?"

"Yeah, I will."

"Okay, thank you." She hung up as she let out a groan. "God, I'm so livid right now."

Inuko PoV

Friday, 8:00am. I still had my bandage over my eye, walking to school alongside with Sukia. She was silent but angry, I could tell from how she was clenching the straps of her book bag. She then spoke up. "Okay, Inuko. I need you to point out on who could possibly attack Buru yesterday."

"I could only think of three. That's Lax, and some guys named Kira and Reo. Before you do anything irrational, we need proof that they did it."

"I got a plan for that."

I had to think, Reo was off from suspension while Kira was not. First things first, I went to Nurse Chiyo to get my eye healed so I would have to wear an bandage. While she nullified the pain, the scar stayed which I didn't mind. I thought it made me look badass. Going to my homeroom class, others asked about the eye scar I've gained.

I've only mentioned that it was an accident as I heard a sigh from Yano. "Anyway, training has been good." I said, trying to change the subject.

"Training already? Man, I'm about all this free time to rest. That battle trial had us training crazy." Erotchi stated.

"I'm still training too. The Battle trial was like a rude awakening to me." Kashi piped in as he stared at his hands before clenching them. "Dang it! I really want a rematch!"

Kashi was then bombarded with paper balls. "Learn how to take a lost!" Kagami said.

"Yeah, its unlike you to get angry over one." Kurista joined in.

Kashi frowned as he then glance at me. "So Inuko, wanna go to the fitness center after lunch? Could use more training buddies."

With a small smile, I nod.

Meanwhile with Sukia, she rest her head in her hands, sighing at the thought of her brother and the scolding she was gonna get from her mother for skipping school. "Hey Sukia." Hansha greeted. "Sorry about your brother."

Hanabi piped in. "Yeah, we've heard that Buru was sent to the hospital. I wonder what's up these kids in the General Education classes. They act like villains more than villains."

"I hope they find out who attacked him." Hansha says.

A scary dark aura circled around the ocean blue girl as her eyes were unhingingly emotionless. "I will." She says while staring at Komori. "Hey Komori, can you sit with me and Inuko at lunch? I'm definitely gonna need you for what I'm about to do."

"Uh-oh, I think we're gonna something non-heroic." Yamara says.

Sukia snickered. "I'll spare you all the trouble, I'm doing this after school."

Komori was curious on what she is needed for. It was lunchtime, Sukia pulled me close, whispering. "Anyone you might think that'll attack Buru?" She asked.

I look narrowly at the other class, spotting Reo talking with others. I pointed at his direction. "Okay Komori, can you sniff out any blood on those guys and tell me the blood type?"

I was confused, I can smell blood too but Komori can tell the blood type? Komori walk nonchalantly over to where Reo was sitting at. "Me and my brother blood type are AB negative."

Before she could start sniffing out anyone, her nose was already twitching, she detected it. Getting close, she smelled the blood over Reo's hands. It wasn't visible and it was attempted to be overshadowed by soap. Komori returned back to her table, sitting next to Sukia. "It's the brown haired guy, the one Inuko pointed that. His hands reek of blood, the type is AB negative."

"So it was Reo." I mumbled.

"Does he have a animal quirk?" Sukia asked me.

I shaken my head no. "That's Kira. He has the beast quirk."

"So he must've helped attacked my brother. How does he look?"

"He's still suspended."

Sukia taken a glance at Reo before she whispered something in my ear. It was later, me and few of the guys were in the fitness center, training.

As I was lifting up dumbbells, Gommu spoken up. "So what was that all about, Inuko?"

"Huh?" I spat. "Are you talking about what happen in lunch?"

"Yeah, y'all about to get somebody?" Gommu said.

"It's Sukia. She's trying to find out who beat up her brother."

"I pray for whoever did that not have both their arms broken." Erotchi piped in.

"They might deserve it." Kashi stated.

Me and the others were dumbfounded at Kashi's response, usually he'll be the reasonable one. "Wow, really Kashi?" Gommu said.

Kashi nodded. "I'm not the type to condone an eye for an eye but after seeing Sukia's brother, I wouldn't dare to question Sukia for what she's gonna do to an attacker."

Erotchi snickered. "I agree with you there homie. I hope Sukia kick their asses. You know- I wouldn't mind jumping in."

I smiled, glad that they're at least supporting Sukia. Anyway, after school. Sukia didn't kept her eyes off Reo who wasn't aware that hell was coming. Me and Sukia followed him away from the school before eventually grabbing him and dragging him far deep into the alley. "Don't you dare fucking lie because we already know."

"W-what's going on?"

"You had the scent of blood on your hands. You joined in on jumping Buru, didn't you?" I questioned.

Reo knew that he was screwed and decided to spill it. "O-okay...I did...but I was barely hitting him. Kira was doing all the work-"

That's where Reo was socked right in the jaw but shockingly, I was the first one to hit him. Reo was struggling to stand but Sukia wouldn't let him as she kicked Reo hard in the abdomen. "Why the fuck you and this Kira guy attacked my brother of all people?"

Reo didn't respond, he was busy trying to regain his composure. Sukia wasn't having that as she turn Reo onto his stomach before pulling up his arm and pinning her foot down onto his shoulder blade. "Arggh! W-we just wanted our revenge because he tried telling about our cliq and because he got us suspended."

I remembered when Buru mentioned about Kira and Reo about taking him away. "Cliq, huh? What cliq is this?"

"I can't tell! They're have me dead!"

Me and Sukia stared at each other, bewildered. Killed over something petty. "Seriously?" I questioned.

"L-look man, you know Gehimasu right? Well you see, he got this psycho fuck putting us in line and giving us orders. It was the other reason why we've attacked Buru, we were gonna jump Inuko too since he has been snooping around stuff he shouldn't be in."

I already know what Reo was implying while Sukia was left confused. "What is he talking about?"

"That psycho fuck is Kazawa. He knows that Yuriko was living with me for a small while. I guess he wants me dead now because I know about him."

Reo was crying at this point, he was deeply scared for his life. "Please, I don't want to be apart of this."

I didn't know what to do now, I sighed. Sukia released Reo's arm but suddenly, she kicked Reo that left him unconscious. I watched as Sukia was kicking and stomping him, I eventually pulled her back. "Okay Sukia's that's enough."

"Tch, he deserves it. I don't care if he was told or not."

I didn't have an opinion on- no, no, I agree with Sukia. There wasn't no time for being nice, especially for what they did. "So what about you?" She said to me.

"What about me?"

Me and Sukia start heading home, talking along the way. "A murderer is out for you. If you know about him, we should contact the police."

"Nah."

"What?"

"If I contact the police, then Yuriko would be sent back at the orphanage."

Sukia glared at me. "Are you fucking kidding me? Who cares if she sent back at some orphanage, you should be worried about yourself."

We've made it up the stairs with Sukia stopping in front of me. "I'm serious Inuko."

"Nope! I made progress! Not ending it when I'm close to the en-"

I was then slapped right in the face, really hard. "Did you lose all your brain cells or are you asking for trouble? Yeah, I've told you to stand up for yourself but this is different. You're gonna get yourself hurt for someone else for absolutely no reason."

I rubbed my cheek before sliding my hair behind my ear. " ... It's complicated Sukia. I understand if you don't want help me...but I can't call the authorities, not yet."

Sukia sighed. "Of course I'm not gonna let you do this by yourself."

I blew a sigh of relief, lightly hugging Sukia as I smiled brightly. Sukia hugged back tightly. "Don't forget that you have a girlfriend." She joked.

"S-shut up."

"By the way, can I borrow that girl's diary? I wanna keep reading it."

"Sure."

I've taken the moment to get Yuriko's diary and hand it over to Sukia, I didn't get she'll be so invested into Yuriko's story. "Don't lose it." I said, about to entire my apartment

"Oh and Inuko."

I paused. "What?"

"Cut your fucking hair, it's too long."

I frowned. "Yeah, thanks for your criticism."

Ironically, Sukia was more interested in this blonde haired girl story. She skipped through most of it since Inuko already read most of it to her.

It was such a strange feeling.

"She should call this story Life is Strange since she keeps mentioning that word."

A feeling of warmth but from a person I wouldn't expect. After staying here for quite some time, I guess I developed feelings for him. How couldn't I? He gave me an entire different perspective on boys.

So caring, sweet, and he was cute too. I really loved I wonder what would happen if I acted out on those feelings? It would've been weird and terrible since that short bitch already taken him and because I used to bully him.

I like his hair, it smells like strawberries or sometimes watermelons.

"Ugh, she sounds like another Yano. He isn't even that cute..." Sukia said with a small tone of jealousy within her voice.

Meanwhile, Inuko was sitting in the front passenger seat as Karla, Yano's personal maid was driving toward the Hikari's mansion. "You really made Hikari-san, sad." Karla spoken up.

I was a bit caught guard by that statement. "What?"

"Whatever you done made Hikari-san hurt herself."

Inuko eyes widened a bit. "B-but I haven't done an-"

Karla cut him off mid sentence. "Playing with fire isn't smart, you ought be careful."

"Karla-san I-" Inuko silence himself when seen that Karla wasn't paying attention. He sighed and swallowed the littlest pride he had left. "I have no social skills and this is my first time being in a relationship so I really suck at being a boyfriend. And I still don't know much about Yano, so can you tell me what she likes?"

"You two are still young so I wouldn't be surprised that this relationship wouldn't end next month or just weeks later."

"But I don't want that to happen!"

Karla grinned and giggled. "I'm sure you don't."

"So tell me how I can be a better boyfriend?"

"What's do you is your most admire quality?"

"My gymnastics?"

"A quality that can benefit Hikari."

"Oh. My dad taught me how to cook."

Karla giggled. "Well that is an admirable quality, even for someone your age. If I'm gonna be honest, I'll just say give Yano all of your attention, especially when she's off her medication. She's envious, obsessive, and smart. Which is a dangerous combination. You seem genuine on liking Yano unlike her previous boyfriends."

"That's hard." He said. "And not healthy."

"Maybe so." Karla parked in front of Yano's garage. "But Yano isn't so shallow, she'll give you something back in return if you ask."

He was glad that it wasn't so one sided even though he wasn't the type to ask for anything. Yano was in her own private bathroom, taking her medication. Yano regretted her maniac episode she had and was preparing to give Inuko a huge apology. "God, this shirt looks terrible." She says while taking off her black long-sleeve before putting it in a laundry basket. Yano look at herself in the mirror. "I wonder." She undone her bra and narrowly glared at her chest. "Does Inuko like bigger boobs?"

She was muttered. Yano left her bathroom, only to find Inuko was laying on her bed. "Inuko!"

"Huh?" Inuko stood up and his eyes widened widely when he saw...those orbs. Inuko legs suddenly gave out as he fell heavily while blood shot from his nose. It was later, Inuko was sitting on her bed again, having his nose cleaned by Yano who had a shirt on. "T-thanks."

"Inuko, I wanna say so-"

"Nope! I wanted to say sorry for making you feel jealous...and..." He held her hands, staring at the new scars on her arms. "You know, you shouldn't done this."

"I...I thought you would've broken up with me and..." Yano eyes became creepily dull. "it wouldn't be pleasant."

Inuko smooches Yano suddenly. She blushed lightly and smiled brightly as she leaned up onto Inuko and went full on mouth wrestling. After making out for a little bit, the two of them left the room. "Want to take a swim?"

"I don't have any swim clothes...and I'm not a fan of swimming..." Inuko says.

"Not a fan of swimming? How come?"

Inuko face went red out of embarrassment. "I don't...I can't swim..."

Yano giggled. "Okay. I'll teach you."

"N-no! P-please..." At this point, she was pulling him toward a large indoor pool. "I-I d-don't have a swim clothes remember."

"Just swim in your-"

"Oneesama!"

And that's where Inuko was suddenly shoved into the pool as Yano glance at a little 10 year old boy with mid-length white hair, wearing a white long-sleeve turtleneck and black pants, along with formal shoes. "T-tokada! W-what are you doing here?"

Tokada smiled brightly. "Me, mom, and dad returned from vacation! How is you and oneesan doing?"

The Oneesan is Yano and Tokada elder sister who is name Yanasa who was actually more secretive. Inuko saw her several times but they never had a conversation. "S-she is in her room."

Tokada eyed over to see that Inuko was climbing up. "Who's he?"

Yano look like she was going to panicked as she tried to mustered up her words. "He's...um!"

Tokada already got the realization. "Is he another one of your boyfriend's?"

Yano gripped tightly onto Tokada shirt, glaring far deep into her little brother eyes. "Shut your fuckin mouth or I'll shove you in the cabin!"

"Is that a problem?" Inuko asked. "By the way, thanks for shoving me into the water!" He said sarcastically while taking off his shirt and squeezing it out.

"Inuko, my dad is here and he...doesn't want me dating any boys."

"Oh god, overprotective dads..." Inuko thought. "Do I have to leave?"

"You're completely soaked so no."

Tokada, being extremely nice unlike his sister greeted Inuko. "Hey there! My name is Tokada Hikari! I like getting a new brother-in-law!"

"Tokada..." Yano growled.

Inuko sighed, while he KNEW that Yano had several boyfriends before him, he grew annoyed when people kept bringing them up. He forced a smile and walk up to Tokada while holding his hand out. "Inuko Suteki but call me Onii-chan!"

"Onii-chan? How am I sure you're gonna be around long for me to call you Onii-chan."

"Take another jab Tokada, I dare you..." Yano threatened.

"I'll be around for a long time..." He says, hoping that it does last long.

"Where's my daughter?" A male voice called out, reaching out to the indoor swimming pool.

Yano ran Inuko away to a multi-stall, closing the door shut. A 6'5, muscular (not seriously muscular but athletic) man with long black hair entered the indoor pool. Spotting her, the man ran toward his daughter, picking her up with a hug. "My little flashlight! How you've and Yanasa been?"

Her father name was Takashi Kemuri, he actually does have a quirk of his own being smoke body which basically makes him intangible. "We've been fine, father! How was your vacation?"

"It was...great." Tokashi said with slight hesitation.

"Dad, Yano has another bo-"

Before Tokada could finish, Yano zapped him right in the shoulder with a light beam. "Oww!"

"Tokada." Yano muttered, gesturing a knife with her thumb as she slid it across neck. Tokada decided to stay silent, having been a victim of Yano's rage.

"Anyways, I hate to make our reunion short but I came back for a business trip."

Even though she was hiding her boyfriend, she felt disappointed that her dad was going to leave already. Seeing that her mother who awfully resembled each other was standing against the entrance door watched over to them, Yano could assume why her dad wanted to leave quickly as possible. "Okay, have fun."

"Don't have too much fun, sweetie." Akarui says rather cutely but the vibe she was emitting was creepy.

Takashi gave his wife a kiss on the cheek before hurrying out. Yano look at her mother, forming up a small smile. "So, did you have fun on your vacation?"

"It was the absolute best. Wish we've could've stayed longer but Tokada really need to catch up on his studies."

Tokada who was crying from the stinging pain in his shoulder that was caused by Yano, yelled. "Mom! Yano is hiding her boyfriend!"

"Boyfriend?"

"Is it safe to come out?" Shouted Inuko.

Yano knew she didn't have to hide Inuko from her mother as she said. "Yes!"

The bathroom door opened with Inuko coming out with drench shirt back on. Yano mother eyebrows quirked up a bit when seeing Inuko. "Mother, this is Inuko Suteki. He goes to my school."

Again, being his respectful self, held his hand out for a handshake. "I...see where Yano gets her good looks from..."

Akarui was going to shake his hand but...she suddenly withdrawn. She brought out a fat wallet. "Do you have a quirk perhaps? If so, turn it on please."

Inuko was slightly confused but happily obliged as his cat ears and tail flung out. "Meow?"

Her eyes widen as she taken out a photo from her wallet, holding it beside Inuko's face. The picture quality wasn't perfect but it had color, it was an old picture of her and Inukai but it was different, the two was younger compared to the picture Inukai shown Yano. "Is...that my mama?"

"Oh gosh. You are related to Inukai. This is me and her back in 8th grade..." Akarui said, putting the picture back in her wallet. She then glared at Inuko narrowly. "Is this some sort of revenge on me asking her senior prom date out? Cause she still won't believe that I wasn't aware that he was taken!"

"No...?" Inuko replied, actually surprised that his mom and Yano's mom knew each other way back then.

"Then what are you doing with my daughter? Did she pay you?"

"MOTHER!" Yano exclaimed.

"N-no... She didn't pay me..." He stated. Akarui suddenly tugged on Inuko's ear, leading him away. "Ow! Ow!"

"Mother, let my boyfriend go!"

Akarui brought Inuko to one of the nearby guest room and closed the door shut, locking it. Yano repeatedly banged on the door but Akarui wasn't didn't bat an eye. She released the cat boy who eyes were teary. "What do you like about my daughter? You aren't very wealthy so you must be with her for our money."

Inuko chuckled nervously. "No way...I would never do that."

"Then what is it?"

"Cause I like her?"

"Then what do you like her for?"

Inuko didn't no how to explain it, he scratched the back of head and said what was on his mind. "I like how she's so tiny..."

"I'M NOT TINY!!!" Yano roared.

"It's kind of cute and she's kind of remind me of a Tsundere."

"What's a Tsundere?" Akarui asked.

"A person, mainly a girl who acts all tough and mean on the outside but is very sweet and caring on the inside."

Akarui thought he seem genuine but not genuine enough. "What else?"

"Well..." Inuko thought for a second. "I like her mainly because she gets me. Ever since I came to UA, I was being constantly bullied and was afraid to tell anyone because I didn't want anybody think I was a coward. And then...when Yano asked me out, she helped me express my feelings and even told me that she went through the same thing but gotten tough because of it. And at one time, she actually defended me against my bullies. So I guess I like her because she's sweet, nice and cute." Inuko stated with his cheeks blushing.

Akarui for some reason was very surprised, it wasn't the first time that someone seem to like her daughter genuinely but it was quite sometime that someone did it. Akarui smiled as she whispered something into Inuko's ear. "I have an attic upstairs with some VHS tapes and a photo album, if you want to value your safety, I suggest you should check them out and form up your opinion."

Inuko was confused by that statement, Akarui finally opened the door, with Yano dropping right in. "Good news Yano, I've decided to let your boyfriend to spend a night."

"Wha-" Akarui silence Inuko by placing her hand over his mouth.

Inuko stayed silent, guessing he was staying for the night. Yano got an awkward vibe from both her boyfriend and mother. Inuko was in the bathroom, washing the chlorine off from himself in a shower. "Sorry about pushing you in the water." Yano says while sitting some new clothes on the toilet, including a dry towel.

"Its fine."

Yano stood against the wall with her arms crossed. "So what did my mother tell you?"

"You didn't hear it?"

"Most of it but then it got suddenly quiet for a moment. What else did she tell you?" Yano asked.

"She told me to listen to some VHS tapes and something about a photo album."

"Oh..." She muttered. "Do you want to sleep with me?"

"Only if you don't do anything weird."

Yano giggled. "I've already taken my medication, you'll be fine."

It was later, Inuko was walking out the bathroom, talking to his mom on the phone. "I'll be okay mama, don't worry about me." He says into the phone, walking downstairs.

He saw that Yano was talking to Karla. He didn't think too much about it, all he was focused was on that delicious smell that was coming from the kitchen. "Is something cooking?"

A small smile appeared on white-haired girl face as she grabbed Inuko's hand, leading him to the kitchen table. "Yup, here. You be the first to eat."

"Thanks Yano!"

Karla place a bowl of katsudon in front Inuko, along with a spoon. Yano and Karla watched him eat, later Inuko suddenly fainted into his food. "You need help taking him to your room?"

"Nope, I'll be fine." Surprisingly, Yano was able to carry Inuko in her arms, bridal-style. After laying him in her bed, she pull Inuko's phone out his pocket. "Inuko you idiot, it isn't smart to leave your phone without a password."

Several hours, Inuko accidentally woke himself up by rolling off the bed. He raised his head up with a string of saliva drooling from the left corner of his mouth. "Ugh. What the heck?" He saw someone's feet, it was Yasana. She was holding Inuko hand.

"Get up, we're going to the attic."

He remembered that Akarui told him about the attic but he wondered why he felt so tired. "It's dark, how long I've been knocked out?" Inuko asked while getting up.

"My sister drugged you and overheated your phone." Yanasa said while leading him to the attic. Inuko didn't catch that perfectly since he was still dozed out. "The cassette tapes are labeled, read the 10th one. And then go through the photo album."

Yanasa opened the attic door and let Inuko crawled into it. It was a lot bigger inside and was sort of organized...but still dusty like every other attic. He found a container filled with cassettes tapes, looking for the 10th label tape. He placed I instead the cassette player before clicking play.

Cassette Player.

"I think we should transfer Yano out of that school."

The voice was Takashi and he sounded very concerned.

"Why? She's always happy when coming back."

Said Akarui.

"She came back soaked in water and her glasses were broken! And before that, she was beat u-"

Inuko heard a thunderstorm in the background.

"Y-Yano! Your hands..."

Takashi stuttered.

"I'm s-sorry but I couldn't help m-myself. I-It's just when I saw him kissing her."

Yano said timidly.

"It's okay sweetie, you're just going through the same phase that I went-"

"Stay away from her!"

A thud was heard after Takashi yelled, Akarui was heard grunting.

"You think this is fuckin normal? She killed three boys already and you're talking to her about it like its a normal thing!"

Takashi snapped.

"You've...known I've went through the same thin-"

"I don't fuckin care! I don't want my daughter to be a psycho like you!"

"Where are you going?"

"Getting my kids away from you!"

The argument sounded like it was getting away the cassette player so it was harder to hear but it didn't matter. Inuko already heard enough. "She killed three boys already!" Those words echoed into Inuko's head, Inuko then look at the photo album, opening it...the first page was just happy family photos. Flipping through them, he made it to those images. "Oh my god..."

"That's her boyfrien-"

Inuko screamed but Yanasa place her hand over his mouth, silencing him. "Calm down, it's just me." She said. Pointing at the first image was a male Sehai student, dead near a ditch. He had multiple stabbed wounds in the bag. "That's her second boyfriend. Bureza Wasami, she lured him away and stabbed him in the back." Her hand then went to the second picture but this time, this boy was tied up to a chair with blood dripping from the left side of his cranium. "That's her a second, Rensu Aoi. She...got someone to kill him instead."

She pointed at another boy who throat was slit and then another but that boy's corpse was laying next to a girl's. The last one was actually gruesome, not only the girl was stabbed countless of times but her cranial matter look like it was shot through by a shotgun. "Why do...you have pictures of these?"

"Yano taken pictures of these and sent them to our mom. And after that, the investigation of these dead kids suddenly vanish from existence like it never happen."

Inuko gulped. "Didn't you say that Yano drugged me?"

"My little sister is more cunning when she has taken her pills. Karla sometimes to help her too." Yanasa stated.

Inuko head felt very light-headed after seeing those dead bodies. Inuko founded himself vomiting in the toilet. "I'm sorry that I've shown you that. But that's what our mother meant. Yano can't handle a rejection, break up or anything that lower her self-esteem."

"My phone..."

"Oh, she burnt out the battery. She must've figured that you would've called the police."

Inuko flushed the toilet. "So, I'm pretty much screwed if I don't make her happy all the time."

"She isn't the Queen of England so don't spoil her."

"I'm...gonna go back to sleep."

Inuko went back to Yano's room, closing the door. He skipped up, startled when he saw Yano awake. "Where were you?"

"I-I...n-no where. Just...getting some water."

Yano sighed, she look calm and sane but tears was forming up in her eyes. "You were nice Inuko, genuinely. And, you something bad happens to you would scar me forever. So, if you want to break up. Please, tell me now."

Inuko had mix feelings, very afraid to end up like one of those boys...but on the other hand, he really did develop feelings for Yano. "I'm probably gonna regret this but..."

"No way Yano...I won't break up with you. Okay? J-just-"

Yano embraced Inuko tightly. "You won't regret this Inuko. Anything you want or need, I'll get it for you."

Inuko chuckled nervously. "Get me a new phone."

"Heh...I'm sorry for that...and I will, tomorrow."

In the afternoon, Inuko awoken up with a phone box resting beside him along with some headphones. A note was laying there, saying.

For you.

Love: Yano.

Inuko squinted, he didn't figure that Yano would actually get him a phone. This phone though was bigger and more up-to-date than his original one. "Holy cow. How much did this cost?"

"500 dollars. The headphones cost 160...you're welcome." Yano says, suddenly entering the bedroom.

Inuko was astonished and speechless. He didn't know how to express his gratitude but Yano was okay with it. "Your clothes are dry by the way. If you need a ride home, then we'll use my bike."

"It's the weekend, I can probably stay another day but I need to call Su- nevermind."

"No no, it's alright. I'm not gonna get jealous."

Inuko smiled as he set up his account into his new phone. After getting everything, he called Sukia's phone who almost answered instantly. "Hey-"

"Bro! Why the fuck you keep sending me to voicemail? Was your phone off or something?"

"Something...happen." He says while eyeing Yano who giggled nervously. "What did you want?"

"You had that Yuriko girl living with you right to get away from the nasty fuck, right? So how about we send her to Yano's house? Kazawa wouldn't be able to do shit against her."

Seeing how Yano is able to get away with murderer, it didn't sound like a bad idea. "Perfect plan..."

"You okay, Inuko?" Sukia asked him.

"Nope...I'm perfectly fine. I'll call you back later."

Inuko hung up the phone, he was still traumatized and scared from what he saw yesterday. Yano knew it too and decided to comfort him. "Inuko, you have nothing to worry about. I've told you, nothing will happen to you."

"Your sister already told me why but...I'm curious to hear something from you."

Yano didn't think he'll ask her that and in someway, she was glad that he did. "It's like a curse. Me, my mother and my grandmother and possibly many other of my female relatives become serial killers, monsters. Like a tick that can set us off and we just kill anyone. Most of us become lovesick while others are soulless killing machines."

"Oh..." Was all Inuko could say as he saw Yano get a laptop. After booting it up, she typed up the Luminous Baby and clicked a Wikipedia tab. Scrolling down, there was one section about a killing spree.

"You've heard about the Luminous Baby, right?"

"Yeah, the first person known to have a qu-" He paused, realizing the similar quirks that Yano and that baby had. "You're related to her?"

"Her name is Liang and yes. It only but a theory but I think she's the reason why we're like this."

She shown him the paragraphs that described her victims. Unlike Yano, it was stated that Liang killed both men and women in a gruesome fashion. Yano then shown him info about her marriage and execution. Liang fell in love with a man name Yuzhou. Soon they have became a couple and got married, having three kids in total. But then, Yuzhou betrayal lead to Liang execution.

"If he knew that she was a serial killer than why would he marry her?"

Yano shrugged. "I don't know but after her death, that's where the curse begun. Her oldest daughter began killing with her first victim being Yuzhou himself. She held a prejudice against men after Yuzhou basically ratted out her out. So that raises a question..." She look at Inuko very deeply into her eyes. "If I was Liang and you were Yuzhou, would you have told on me?"

Inuko shaken his head which had Yano grabbed his hands. "You promise?" She asked.

He tilted his head. "I won't. I promise that I won't."

Yano smiled, stroking the cat boy cheek. As she was about kiss him, Takada flung the door open. "Onii-san! Onii-chan...?"

Yano paused as she then glared at her little brother. "What the hell are you doing here?"

"Well...your friends from school are downstairs."

Yano and Inuko eyes widened, their relationship was still secret to everyone else. "Inuko get in the closet." Yano got up and ran to her brother. "Takada, keep your mouth shut about Onii-san! Don't tell anyone about him okay?

Yano then ran to her to mother, meanwhile Inuko was getting in the closet with his phone and headphones. The closet was a walk in and big, not surprisingly but it was filled with so many clothes. Inuko heard Komori, Yamara, mainly all the girls in his class...except for Sukia. He recieved a message earlier, saying that she was at the hospital to check on her brother.

Sukia: He's okay but he has amnesia.

Inuko: Okay.

It's been an entire hour, he expected Yano to pull him out the closet when the girls at least leave the room. He sent a text message to Yano.

Inuko: Yano, when are they leaving?

Yano: They are spending a night, ig.

Inuko: What! But I was suppose to spend the night here.

Yano: Sorry...I mean you still could, that's if you want our relationship be public. ;)

Inuko: Can you get them out, I'll escape through the window.

"Who are ya texting?" Hanabi scooted over to Yano, she withdrawn her phone away.

"None of your business..." Yano shut off her phone, getting an idea. "Hey, you girls wanna take a swim? Let's go to my pool."

"Oh hell yeah!"

"Sure!"

"Can we eat first?" Hansha says.

Inuko blew a sigh from relief as he saw the girls leave the room. As he activated his cat quirk, the boy slid open the window and jumped out.

Yano: Take my bike.

Inuko: Thanks.

A while later, Inuko was peddling his way home on Yano's bike, still in his pajamas that Yano given him. Despite that, Inuko was enjoying the breeze that blew through his hair, it felt relaxing. But then, a tragedy struck. It was a red light and Inuko was free to past but a car, driving at a high speed hit Inuko hard. Inuko was knocked far back along with Yano's bike, he scrapped across the ground. He wasn't unconscious...but deeply in pain. Random people and heroes came to check on Inuko but he was getting up. "You need to go to the hospital kid." The popular they call Kamui Woods said.

"I'm fine, thank you sir." Inuko was dazed a bit but he was okay enough to get on his bike. Other heroes were questioning the driver who ran a red light and hit Inuko. Before Inuko can drive off, he saw the man...it was Kazawa. Desperately, he wanted to shout out and tell that the heroes that Kazawa is a murderous rapist but he couldn't, not yet. He peddled off, while wincing in pain.

Surprisingly, he was able to get home. Inuko was in the bathroom, cleansing himself from the blood that leaked from his possibly new scars. Luckily it wasn't anything serious but he was heavily hurt. "Ugh can't wait until we bust this guy."

Howdy, hope you enjoyed the series.
