Himiko is back here again, in the punishment room. She thought Izuku saved her, maybe that was just a dream. She would have rather still been in the dream rather than here.

She entering the room now, just like her mommy had asked. She had done all her chores for the day, and now it was time to receive punishment for her mistakes.

'Don't go in, please don't in.'

Himiko knows whats going to happen, even though it has already happened once she is still really scared.

The room was small, almost like a servants quarters some houses have. The room had nothing more than a sofa and a stool. The sofa was where her mother was sitting, preparing her punishment. Kimiko had taken advantage of the fact that this room was small and thus easier to get soundproofed. It was cheaper after all, it was also the reason

"Come here, brat."

Kimiko growled as she saw her daughter was still not sitting on the stool.

Kimiko had a knife in her hand, its blade resting on top of a flame lit using a Bunsen Burner. It had been modified to make bigger flames, flames hot enough to heat the butterfly knife in a short amount of time. The knife was glowing orange and releasing a soft hissing sound.

Himiko knew the this was her que to take of her top and have her back face her mother.

"Remember this villain, everything that is happening to you is your fault and yours alone. It is your fault that you are a monster, It is your fault that daddy left, it is your faut that mommy is angry and it is your fault that you are being punished. You are a villain, a monster and nothing more. Are we clear?

Kimiko always repeated these words whenever she punished her. She always thought she was right, she still does, except for the last part.

'Let's be heroes together!' A certain green haired bunny's voice could be heard by her giving her all the courage she needed to say what she was about to.

"No"Himiko said softly.

"What did you say you brat?" Kimiko was angry now.

"I-I'll be a hero, when I grow up. I will be a hero mommy." Himikio said with all the defiance a toddler could muster.

"Pretend all you want!" Kimiko said as she bought the knife up, "You" She said as the tip of the scalding knife touched her daughter's back, "WILL ALWAYS" Kimiko slowly plunged the knife in her daughter's back until it was halfway in, "BE A MONSTER!" she immediately pressed the entire length of the knife in her daughter back.

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH UUUUWWWWAAAAAAAA "

'It hurts! it hurts! it hurts! it hurts! stop! stop! stop! stop! stop!'

"KKKKKYYYYYYYYYAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

"Himi-chan! Himi-chan!"

"NO! NO! NO! NO!"

Himiko wake up!

"PLEASE, NOT THE KNIFE! NOT THE KNIFE!"

"HIMIKO WAKE UP!"

"Eh? Izukkun?" Himiko asked as she woke up, still shaken up and drowsy.

"Don't worry Himi-chan, she won't hurt you, she can't hurt you."Izuku assured her.

'She won't? She can't?... But how...why?'

"Why?" Himiko asked, what she meant by that...she herself didn't know.

"Because I am here." Izuku said with a soft smile on his face.

"Yeah, you are here now." Himiko said as she snuggled closer to Izuku, Izuku too wrapped his arms around the blonde protectively.

Meanwhile, through the slightly open door of Izuku's room, Inko observed the whole ordeal with a proud smile on her face.

'My son will be a great hero.' She thought and then started giggling as another thought entered her mind.

'He'll be a great husband too'

Inko turned around walking down the stairs with a nostalgic look on her face.

'Isn't that right, Shouta?
