It has been 2 months since Izuku found out about why Himiko would flinch just as much he does if not more at the slightest of touch.
That does not change the fact about how angry he is.
Not at Himiko of course, but at her mother definitely.
How could someone be so cruel to a child and call said child a monster?
How could someone like that even be called a mother?
Why did he never catch on to the clues?
What the hell was 3 years worth of analysis of different heroes for?
Is he still worthy of being a hero?
No, he is not going to start thinking like that. He has to be a hero, he WILL be a hero.
He will become better for Himiko. He will never let anything like that happen to her again.
He has to be really strong to make sure of that.
Izuku has a million thoughts plaguing his mind all the while he is using his quirk to levitate several objects in the air and having them to all kinds of complicated movements .
* Flashback-2 Months ago*
Izuku was going towards Himiko's house today.
In these 2 years since he has known her, Himiko has never failed shown up to the park to play with him or hang out.
He feel like he might be a little to attached to her or maybe he was just paranoid but he couldn't shake the feeling of urgency from his heart.
So he ran all the way from the park to her house in a hurry sincerely hoping whatever this feeling he had was nothing more than his imagination.
Too bad fate had other plans.
He reaches her house and notices that the door was slightly open.
'Wait, did some robber or villain break in their house? This is bad ! I have to save her!'
"KYAAAAAAAAAA!"
'Oh No that's Himi-chan!'
Izuku dashed towards the door and kicked it open in a hurry.
What he expected to see was a robber or a villain attacking his Himiko and her mother. Whats he saw was beyond his worst nightmares.
Kimiko san was on top of her daughter, Himiko.
She was using one hand to strangle Himko while her other hand was raised with a knife in its grip.
"I have had enough of you, you worthless monster!"
Kimiko shouted as her raised hand was about to be bought down, to stab her own child to death.
"NOOOOOO"
Izuku shouted as he ran towards the crazed mother with a hand reaching out to stop her.
He realized however, he wasn't going to make it in time.
'Don't hit her Don't hit her Don't hit her stoP stOP sTOPSTOP!'
Th knife was about to stab the poor scared girl when it stopped. It wasn't because the mother had second thoughts.
It was because it was stopped by a green glow that was surroundeing the knife.
Izuku stood in from of the 2 blondes with glowing green eyes that had a dazed look to them and floating hair.
Izuku realizes that this is no time to marvel that his quirk has finally awakened because Himiko was still in danger.
A whirlwind of emotions was brewing inside Izuku.
He was sad at how a mother could do something to a child.
He was frustrated by the fact that he never acted upon whatever lingering suspicions he had.
He was desperate and wanted to make sure that his best and only friend stayed safe.
He was happy that he and his quirk both came just in time.
He was angry, angry at how hurt she was, angry at how stupid he had been, angry at the fact that he couldn't protect his only fried despite wanting to be a hero.
Izuku growled dangerously as his eyes narrowed and a snarl was on his face.
A voice that should have never escaped the lips of a young child made itself known to the world.
" You like to stab people huh? THEN. HOW. ABOUT. I. STAB. YOU!"
The knife immediately flew out of Kimiko's hand and turned to her direction.
Its tip dangerously shining green as it moved towards at a fast speed.
Izuku wanted to make the knife go through her skull for one small moment but he controlled himself and made it stab the woman's hand so hard that its
blade made its way all the way through it and the force dragged her hand towards the neared wall.
Despite carrying a person, the knife still embedded itself deep into the wall along with the woman's hand.
Kimiko fainted from the immense pain she felt.
Himiko whimpered as she got up with a tear stained face and threw herself at Izuku.
Izuku came out of his enraged daze and hugged the frighted girl back.
He used his left had to embrace her while his right hand carresed her smooth somewhat messy blond hair.
Izuku moved his lips toawards her ear and whispered reassurances in gentle and caring voice.
"It's okay. It's alright. I wont let her hurt you. I am here now, don't worry."
After an a few minutes of comforting her, Izuku gently broke the embrace and sat her down. He immediately called the cops and his mother.
The sound of sirens could be heard as the police had arrived after the few minutes of the call.
They were quite shocked at the scene but acted fast, both children were swiftly taken to the station and Kimiko was transported to the hospital.
When they arrived ta the station, it was first assumed that it was a robber or a villain. Izuku however told them about how Kimiko was about to kill Himiko so he used his quirk
to stop her .
He told them that he was angry and worried that she would attack again so he used the knife to pin her to the wall near him.
Later, Himiko had composed herself enough after a while and decided to tell the officers everything.
Initially the officers had asked both Inko and Izuku to leave to give the girl some privacy but in the end Himiko wanted them to stay as she wanted them to know too.
What was revealed made Inko reel in horror.
Izuku just felt useless and inadequate but it was all drowned by the anger at Kimiko and his worry for Himiko.
*Flashback End*
Izuku snapped out of his thoughts as he heard a knock at his door.
It was Himiko, she was temporarily staying with them until a relative of hers could be tracked down.
"Izukkun... can I sleep with you?" She whimpered out these words, begging o not be left alone in the dark.
Izuku agreed, even if it was while blushing up a storm, it was no time to be self absorbed in fantasies. He needed to help Himiko.
"Sure Hime-chan, we can both fit on the bed anyways."
Himiko practically jumped from where she was all the way to her his bed. Izuku turned off the light as and got on the bed, ready to sleep.
As soon as he lay down however, Himko hugged him really tight while her head was nuzzling his chest
At that moment Izuku realized he won't be able to sleep die to all the embarrassment.
He wouldn't mind the lack of if he could stay like this forever.
