KYAAA DON'T KILL ME FOR THE ENDING OF THAT LAST CHAPTER!

Now,

I don't know how, but this apparently is what is called a slow burn fan fic, and I just...

You guys don't understand, my favourite parts of fan fics are the build up to romance, and it's seriously fucking killing me right now with all this fluffy shit, I tell you what.

I literally wanna die right now... So here you go... Enjoy...

"Haa... haaa...!" Izuku was running with all her strength towards the gate with Katsuki beside her. They had some how managed to blindside All Might with their combined ambush. The second they had caught him off guard they both took off in the direction over the gate. Izuku was struggling to run at full blast over the rubble they happened upon, but she kept her gaze forwards as she ran, she could see the gate!

"Almost there...!" She huffed out, her entire right arm aching with muscle pain. She saw a cute drawing of the principal over the gate, and she laughed, "It's so cute... Just one of us has to get through to pass...!"

She looked around at the damage from All Might's first attack, it was far worse here than where they had been, almost half way through the city...

"That bastards just fucking with us...!" Katsuki growled out as he ran, and Izuku looked over at him, before glancing over her shoulder.

"I don't see him chasing us... There's no way he could have fainted, right...?" She asked with a bit of worry for her hero, despite the way he was battling them.

"No, you idi-..." Katsuki stopped himself, and Izuku looked back at him once again. "You're the one who said there's no way we could beat his ass... The fuck are you saying now?! Ain't a chance in hell that love tap made him kick it!"

"Love tap...?" She asked in disbelief. Her whole arm was aching from using his bracer before. She had even used One for All to brace herself but it still put strain on her arm, just how strong was Katsuki?

"Listen, if he catches up to us then I'll launch you using my bracer!" Katsuki looked over at her. She blushed a bright red before turning her head away to focus on the task at hand.

"And? Then what?!" Izuku almost froze in place as she heard All Might's voice right beside her, and she turned to look at him, and saw Katsuki already going in for an attack with his bracer, before All Might crushed it with one punch. "Why so surprised?!"

"SO FAST!" Izuku said in shock as she slid to a stop and charged One for All to her body. "Kacchan!" She shouted as she saw All Might punch him into the ground, and he slid across the road. She brought her fist up to punch him, but he grabbed her by the wrist and yanked her out of the air, before dangling her off the ground.

"You know... Thanks to these weights," All Might grinned broadly as he stepped over to Katsuki who was trying to get back up, before All Might placed a foot on his back to push him back down. "This isn't exactly close to my top gear, I hope you know... Now. Bite the dust, Heroes!"

"ADVISORY: THE FIRST TEAM TO CLEAR THE EXAM IS TEAM TODOROKI/YAOYOROZU!" Izuku looked up for a second as she heard Recovery Girl use the speaker to announce that. She groaned as she tried to get free from All Might's grip.

"Wow, I'm stunned! This must mean you got taken down, Aizawa my man! This is no time to let your guard down... Well." All Might pushed his foot down harder on Katsuki's back as he tried to get up. "Shall I bury you then?"

His speed...Izuku groaned as she tried to get free, still struggling. His stamina... his power... I'm no where close to this yet! "DAMNIT!" Izuku cried out as she tried to peel the massive fingers away from her wrist.

"... What's that face about...?" She looked at All Might who turned his head to look at her, and cried out as she was thrown off to the side. She coughed out as her breath left her being once again, and turned her head to look up at him.

"Using your maximum-power flame to repel me away while slipping off to the escape gate." All Might looked down at her as she struggled to get back up. "It seems that was your reseponse, your answer, but now your maximum flame is gone."

He was right, Izuku felt burnt out, All for One was getting harder to maintain... She gripped her fists, trying to charge it up... She had too... She had to get up..!

"It's the end of the line." All Might spoke with a finality that made her feel like winning was hopeless...

"Shut up..." Katsuki growled out, before a loud blast blinded her and she raised her arm to cover her eyes. She looked up to see All Might had fallen back a step from them, before she felt a hand grip the shoulder of her costume. "I'm going to throw you..."

"What...?" Izuku felt him pull her to her feet, before being yanked with all his might over his shoulder. "W-WAIT!"

"It ain't gunna be smooth, but with the strength gap between us and him now, once again..." Katsuki growled in anger, as she saw his eyes glare towards the gate. "There's no other way to win!

"H-Hold on! Please don't...!" Izuku could tell what he was thinking, and saw it in his eyes. "NOT THE SOFT BALL PITCH!"

"Hnnnn!" Katsuki gowled as he hucked her, and with a boom on her shoulder she felt blistering pain as her costume burned. "DIEEEEEEEE!"

"DIE?!" she screamed out as she flew through the air, and groaned. Hurts... Are you friggen serious?! I'm gunna punch him so hard later! Izuku's thoughts were angry as she glanced behind herself through the air. But... All Might flinched! It's only one or two seconds till I land...If I react...! She looked up at the gate, it was so close, she just needed two more seconds...

"NEW HAMPSHIRE SMASH!" There it was, Izuku heard it just as she felt something hit her from behind, and she saw stars as she felt her back crack before she hit the ground and bounced across the pavement.

"AUGH!" She groaned in pain, hardly able to move.

"IZU!" She heard Katsuki yell out her name, and she looked up in pain as she saw All Might was still in the air, but Katsuki was right behind him in the air.

"THE BRACER LETS ME FIRE OFF MY MAXIMUM POWER FLAME WITH NO RISK!" HE shouted, before pointing his hands at All Might. "But I was an idiot... There was no way I could beat your ass with our her help, or without taking risks! GO IZU!"

"UWAA!" Izuku felt the heat of the blast Katsuki let off with his hands at All Might. She groaned as it the shock wave knocked her further along the pavement, and she looked back at him, pushing herself up with all her strength.

"GO! RUN FOR IT!" Katsuki yelled at her as he used his quirk to blast towards her, before he turned and slid to a stop on the pavement. "You can do it!"

Izuku watched as he set off another blast at the incoming All Might who was still in the air. She ground her teeth together, and turned around, groaning in pain. She looked up at the gate, it was so close... At this distance she should be able to make it with one leap if she used her full cowl of One for All. "Run... gotta run..." She said as she stumbled a bit, before taking a few steps. "Kacchan can do it... He'll..." She heard a boom behind her as she charged up One for All one last time. She turned her head to see All Might coming her way, but Katsuki was there in a flash... She felt the pavement crack and move under her feat as her eyes watched her Hero pound her first love into the ground.

"Sleep, Bakugo my boy." All Might held Katsuki down with one hand, "And put those self destroying ways of yours to sleep, too. Personally," Izuku saw Katsuki's hand still raised through the dust, and her eyes widened as she felt One for All pulse through her body, crackling like crazy "Personally as your sensei, I'm afraid this is a little traumatic."

Izuku turned, her fist clenched tightly and pulsing, but she saw Katsuki's hand grip All Might's arm and she stopped.

"Quick... Go you idiot!" She heard him growl out, and she felt her heart beat loudly in her chest. "If I bend and fold... and choose to twist myself into a pretzel to win... If I let you hit her like that again... If even that much was outside my power... THEN I COULDN'T STAND IT!"

"Kacchan...!" She felt her heart ache, as she heard the pain in his voice.

"Oh, I won't let you get away Midoriya, my girl!" All Might turned his head to look at her, and at that second she kicked off the ground with a boom, full of power from One for All, she was glaring at her hero, her teeth clenched in anger, before she grinned as their eyes met.

"PLEASE MOVE ASIDE, ALL MIGHT!" She shouted before her fist connected with All Mights face, full of One for All she punched him with all her being, all her pent up anger at Katsuki... "SMASH!"

The hero was stunned and had let go of Katsuki, she saw her chance! She landed at All Might's feet in a crouch, and grabbed Katsuki around the middle with both her arms, before kicking off the ground again as she turned around in the air with him.

"I'm sorry, Kacchan..." She said with a groan as she used all she had left to run for the gate at top speed, it was feet away now. She knew he was out cold from that last bout of strength, he ws dead weight in her arms. "I'm sorry... Always saving me..." She gripped him tightly with her hands. "NOW LET'S WIN!" she shouted with all her being as she leaped through the gate with one last kick off the ground.

"Uuugh... Izuku groaned as she fell onto a bed in Recovery girls first aid tent. Everything had hurt all over, and she looked over at All Might who had lay Katsuki down on the only other bed in the tent which was next to hers. She looked up as Recovery girl stepped over to her and placed a big fat kiss on her cheek. She could feel her muscles heal a bit, and she sighed out. "Thank you..." she said with a smile up at the woman.

"You're welcome, dear." The woman said with a smile. "As for Bakugo, he won't come to for a while, for the time being I want you both to sleep in the beds here on the school grounds." The woman said with a smile, "I'm having the others rest there as well." The woman turned her kind smile to All Might, before it became one of anger. "AND YOU! OUTSIDE NOW! I HAVE A FEW WORDS FOR YOU!" she shouted up at him, hitting him with her cane.

"Yes yes, I'm sorry." All Might said with a sheepish look on his face as he was poked out of the tent by the cane of the old woman. Izuku let out a weak laugh as she saw her hero get beat by a little old lady, before she turned her head to look over at Katsuki. Beside her. She had never seen him look so peaceful before... She groaned a bit as she sat up on her bed, and got up to hobble the couple of feat over to his. She looked down at him, and smiled as she reached a hand to touch his cheek.

"You know... I said I'd punch you for that blast..." She smiled at his peaceful face, "You wrecked my costume again, you jerk..." She laughed softly to herself, before she leaned her head down and placed a kiss on his fore head. "But you were super cool back there, so I'll let it go this time... But we're gunna talk, even if I have to chain you up like the sports festival." She said with a sigh, before she stumbled back to her bead and collapsed down on it, and drifted off into a blissful sleep.

She had no idea, that They would make their move for the third time.

"Oh my god you guys..." Ashido sobbed out as she stood there with Kaminari and Kirishima in the class room the next day. "I'm... I'm totes looking forward... To all your stories... Oh god..."

"D-Don't be upset!" Izuku cried out as she looked at her friend, seeing how upset she was. "You don't know, there could totally be some unexpected twist!"

"No, Deku-chan! If yu say that, you'll jinx it!" Uraraka said with a frown to her.

"Those who fail the exam don't get to go to the forest lodge and will be stuck in remedial hell!" Kaminari shouted with eyes filled with tears as he pointed an angry finger at Izuku. "And we never cleared the practical! If you still don't get that then your own grade level is-"

"HAAAH!" Uraraka stepped forwards as he got to close to her best friend and karate chopped him in the forehead. "CALM DOWN!"

"That was some tirade..." Sero said with a frown behind the girls. "I mean, I don't know either you know? Thanks to Mineta we technically both cleared it, but all I did was sleep. So like, as ong as it's not been made clear how we're being graded..."

"IF YOU'RE GUNNA SHOW US PITY THEN WHY DON'T YOU GIVE US MORE THAN THAT!" Kaminari shouted at Sero.

"When the bell rings, then you take your seats." Aizawa said from the front of the room, and Izuku and the others scrambled to their desks quickly. "Morning... Now, about your end of term exams... I hate to say that some of you have failed, and as such... Everybody's going to the Forest Lodge!" Their sensei had a wide sadistic grin as he looked up at the class.

"WHAT A TWIST!" Kirishima shouted loudly in surprise and Ashido burst out into happy tears.

"There were zero failing grades for the written exam, for the practical, Satou, Kirishima, Ashido, Kaminari and Sero all failed.

"But we can still go, sensei?!" Kirishima asked with his hand in the air excitedly.

"For the exam, we 'villains' left you a way to win while gauging how you faced the challenges we set for each of you." Aizwa said with a sigh, "If we hadn't then you'd all have run into a dead end before the challenges even really began."

"So, when you said you were coming at us to crush us..." Izuku said with a nervous sweat, looking to their teacher.

"That was to drive you into a corner, the forest lodge was a boot camp to begin with. So the students who failed are the ones who need it the most." Aizawa's sadistic smile appeared again. "It was a logical ruse!"

"NO, IT'S A BLATANT LIE!" Kirishima choked out.

"Not again... That's Yuuei for you!" Iida said with a nervous sweat before he stood up, his hand in the air. "All the same, if you keep piling up 'ruses' then our trust in you will begin to waver, will it not?!"

"You're not wrong, I'll reflect. But it's not as though it was all a pack of lies." Aizawa looked to the rowdy bunch who were cheering in happiness. "Failing grades are failing grades. So you've all earned yourselves special remedial periods. And to put it bluntly, the'll be harder than they would have been had you stay here. Now, I'm going to hand out the lodge guides so pass them back."

"yaaaay!" Izuku looked up as Uraraka threw her hands into the air at the end of the day. "I'm so happy we can all go!"

"YES YES!" Ashido said with a bright smile, and grinned at her.

"Looks like we'll be needing pretty big bags for all the stuff we need..." Izuku said thoughtfully as she looked back at the guide they were given.

"I don't have a bathing suit," Kaminari groaned out, "I'll need to buy lots of stuff."

"Ah, in that case..." Hagakure spoke up, and the others turned to look at her, or at least at what they thought was her head. "Since tomorrows free and exams have ended, let's... you know."

"GO SHOPPING TOGETHER?!" Urarak cried out happily, crumpling her guide. "YEAAAAH!"

"Yes yes! The whole class!" Hagakure said brightly from her seat, her uniform jumping up and the sleeves waving around wildly.

"that's a great idea!" Kaminari said with a grin, "actually, won't this be the first time for all of us together?"

"Yo, Bakugo! You come too!" Kirishima grinned at the boy who was getting up to leave.

"Like I could stand-" Katsuki started, but was interrupted.

"Todoroki, you should come too!" Izuku said with a bright smile and Katsuki's head snapped around to look at her.

"I... visit the hospital on free days..." Todoroki replied to her, and raised an eyebrow at Katsuki.

"that's too bad." Izukua said with a smile, and patted his shoulder before grabbing her bag. "Bye everyone! See you tomorrow!" She called out to the others with a bright laugh, before she followed a grumbling Katsuki out of the class room.

"... I bet $10 he comes because she asks." Kirishima said to Kaminari.

"I'd loose then!" Kaminari said with anguish to the red head.

"hey," Izuku and Katsuki were almost home. They had walked silently most of the way. "You should come out with us tomorrow, It'll be fun!"

"Hmph..." Katsuki grumbled as he kept his eyes turned away from her. "Fine, but I'm not going to fucking like it, and if hair-for-brains says one stupid thing I'm gone."

"It'll be fun, don't worry!" She said with a smile up at him. The two of them still hadn't found a time to talk, and she was feeling a bit nervous, but their relationship had turned back to normal for the most part. They came up to her apartment stairs, and she looked up at them, before looking to Katsuki who was still standing beside her.

"Hows your shoulder...?" He asked her, looking to her left shoulder where he had used his explosion during the exam.

"It's good, just a tiny scar." Izuku said with a bright smile, "I've got lots of those now though, so not a big deal!"

"Idiot..." Katsuki grumbled as he glared at her, before turning to walk away. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"It's the mall that boasts the most shops in the prefecture, on the leading edge of today's youth!" Ashido shouted happily as she ran ahead of the group. "THE KIYASHI-WARD SHOPPING MALL!" She jumped in the air happily.

"Wow... They have everything for everybody's individual quirk!" Izuku said, looking around all over the place. "Everything here is so cool, from kids to seniors, they've got them all!" She looked all over the place, and gripped the hem of her green t-shirt dress she wore. She looked back at her friends and grinned brightly at them. "This is so amazing!"

"For the time being I need to get a carrying bag." Jirou said with a smile to Yaorozu.

"Oh, in that case I'll go with you!" The taller girl said with a smile.

"I don't have outdoor shoes, so I wanna buy some!" Kaminari said with a grin to Hagakure.

"Me too! Me too!" She shouted happily.

"The guide said you should wear shoes you're used to, ah but.." Iida looked far to serious about shoes. "It might in fact be best to choose what would have the most utility?!" He ran after the group who went to buy shoes.

"Hey hey," Uraraka whispered to Kirishima. "We should go buy things for the... You know!" Izuku looked over at her friend, confused by what she said.

"OH YEAH!" Kirishima said with a bright grin to her. "Well then, we should all meet up here in a few hours! Bye!" He shouted over his shoulder as he ran off with Uraraka and Tokoyami in tow, leaving behind just Izuku and Katsuki.

"Uhm... I guess, it's just us then?" She looked up at him with a nervous smile.

"Fuck this, I'm going to go play some games." Katsuki grumbled out, before he turned away from her. He seemed to be avoiding eye contact with her today, and she wondered why. She let out a sigh as she looked down at her sandals, and smiled to herself. It was still better than the cold shoulder he gave her for a few weeks there. She looked back at Katsuki's retreating back, before focusing on her task at hand. "Right, I should get a swim suit and stuff."

"Whoa! If it ain't a Yuuei kid! So bad ass!" Izuku jumped a bit as she heard some one shouting in her direction, and she turned her head. To see a guy in a black hoodie. "Gimme your signature!"

"Ah, uhm.." Izuku blushed a bright red, before an arm went around her shoulders and pulled her close to the strange guy.

"You're the girl who got into the top four, right? You got all beat up in that fight!" The man said as she felt his arm tighten it's grip around her.

"Ah! I-I... Y-yeah, I guess..." She said nervously, trying to look for some one she knew. Some guy was hitting on her and she had no idea what to do.

"You're pretty cute, you know... Ah! Aren't you also that girl who ran into Hero Killer Stain in Hosu?! You're so cool!" The guy continued, and she felt very unsafe.

"Uhm... you know a lot..." Izuku groaned, trying to push away from the guy now.

"Y'know... I really can't believe it! To think I'd meet you again at a place like this." the guys tone was a hushed whisper now, and she felt her blood run cold as a hand came up around her neck. "I'm thinking this must be fate or destiny... Perhaps love at first sight, or something like that... Though to you, I guess the last time you saw me was during the USJ invasion..."

"Aah..." Izuku's eyes were wide with fear as she looked up at the hooded man who had his hand around her neck. His eyes had dark circles under them, his hair that same frightening silver and his lips looked like he chewed on them constantly and were dry.

"I've always wanted to have tea with a pretty girl, so shall we go get some, Midoriya Izuku..." the man grinned down at her with a sadistic grin that made her fear for her life. "Now act natural, we're just a lovey dovey couple, alright?" He told her as he leaned in closer to her. She could smell his horrible breath and it gave her goosebumps on her arms. |And don't even think about making a racket, okay? Calm down and control your breathing... I just wanna have a chat with you, that's it... All right? And what happens if you show the slightest odd behavior...?"

She felt his fingers tighten around her neck, and for some reason she felt like one was missing... "Simple really... the moment all five of my fingers touch your neck, you'll start to crumble... Starting with the smooth skin of your throat... down to your toes... Within a minute you'll be nothing but dust..."

"I-Id you do..." Izuku gulped, and gripped the strap of her purse. "Then a hero... f-from the crowd... Will come to capture you..." Her eyes looked up at him, before he pulled her closer and jestured to the crowd.

"Of course! But look!" He laughed almost, and Izuku looked to the crowd as he pointed at them. "Even though any one of them could brandish their quirks like a weapon at any moment, why do they gather? Why do they laugh? The laws, the rues... They're all based upon people's individual morals, so at heart they think 'oh there's no way anybody would do such a thing'..." Izuku felt her chest tighten in fear as she looked at all the families and groups of friends... "Y'know... I could kill 20, maybe 30 people before getting captured..."

"Nngh..." Izuku stiffened up, and felt a nervous sweat drip down her face. "F-Fine... But... W-What is your name...?" She asked him, "I'll talk if you tell me your name..."

"Oh-ho? Interested are we...?" the man laughed, "That's the spirit... It's Tomura Shigaraki... You're being a pretty good date, so let's have a seat. That way we can talk comfortably."

Izuku took trembling steps with him as he directed her towards a bench under a tree. There were so many people all around, but him holding her neck... That seemed to be the only thing stopping him from hurting anyone...

"To tell the truth, I hate pretty much everything." The man laughed in her ear, leaning in close once again. "But the number one thing that's pissing me off right now is the Hero Killer."

"I-I thought he was with you..." Izuku looked down at the ground. She wanted to look anywhere but up at the man who was holding her hostage.

"I never agreed to him joining, but he's one of us according to society." Tomura let out a laugh again and she felt his fingers grip her throat once more. "And that's the problem... Near everybody seems to be gaga over him... The Yuuei invasion... the nomus we released in Hosu... All of it's been swalloed up by that bastards fame... Why is nobody looking at me?"

Izuku gripped the hem of her dress tightly as she heard his angry tone, and wanted nothing more than to run away.. Where were her friends? Her phone was in her purse, it was too obvious if she grabbed it to send out a message... She just had to sit there and listen to this guy now... That was all she could do, and just hope some one came by soon.

""No matter how much that guy puffed himself up, in the end he was just destroying what he didn't like... Same as me... Between the two of us, what do you think is the differnce...? Huh? Izuku...?" He was taunting her now, and she felt her face get paler. He was looking right at her.. but she kept her gaze on her knee's.

"The difference...?" She asked him, her voice shakier than she wanted it to be. "I... I don't understand you... Or accept you... Where as for the Hero Killer..." She felt the fingers dig into her neck, and she closed her eyes. "I don't accept him either, but I do understand him... For both me and the Hero Killer... we started out by watching All Might. Back then, I was saved by him, at the very least... He didn't destroy because he wanted to... And he didn't give up so fickly..." She opened her eyes again, steeling her gaze as she looked up at the man beside her. "His methods were wrong. He tried to live according to an ideal... That's what I th-" Her whole being froze at that moment as she looked into the insane eyes of Tomura. She had forgotten he was a murderer too, just like the Hero Killer... This guy was ready to murder her and others at the drop of a hat... She couldn't look away though. His eyes held her gaze on him, and she felt her nervous sweat run down her throat as his fingernails dug into her skin.

"Aaah... My head feels clearer now..." She shivered as he spoke again and felt tears threaten to come out on her eyes. "Like a bunch of dots finally formed a line." He seemed to laugh some where in his throat as he spoke. "I feel like I get it now! Why the Hero Killer pisses me off... and why I hate you so much... It's all... About All Might."

"Hah..." Izuku ground her teeth together in pain as she felt blood trickle down her throat a bit from his nails. His smile was that of a mad man, and she wanted to cry, she wanted some one to come help her... Where was Katsuki? Why had he walked off an left her alone?! She just wanted to be with him, if he was around, this wouldn't have happened!

"Of course... Of course it all leads back to him in the end. Aaah" Tomura sighed out and looked away from her. "What was I so bothered over? The reason all these people are spending their days laughing... Is because of All Might too!"

"Nnnh!" The grip around her throat got tighter and she could hardly breathe. She reached up at her neck, grabbing at his hand now, being careful of his finger that hovered so close to killing her in an instant.

"It's because of him and his stupid grinning...!" Tomura laughed loudly now. "Like there was never anybody he couldn't save! Aaah... I'm so glad I was able to have a chat with you, this is great! Thnk you Izuku, I was right all along!"

"Stop..." Izuku choked out, and looked up at him as he cut off her breathing further. Her hands were scrambling now, but she couldn't use One for All... not here, not while he was ready to kill!

"Don't struggle now, do you wanna die?" Tomura laughed as he looked down at her. "You okay with all these people dying? How Ironic, Hero Killer..."

"Please..." She groaned, before the voice she wanted to hear all along hit her ears.

"Izuku?" She looked up with tears in her eyes to see a shocked Katsuki holding a shopping bag in his hand 20 feet away. Their eyes met, and she shivered. "You don't... Let... Go of her!" He growled in anger, glaring at Tomura. Izuku felt her nervous sweat build more, she couldn't let Tomura hurt anyone, least of all not Katsuki.

"Kacchan wait!" She shouted, seeing his hands pop with explosions as she held her hands up. "I-It's fine! Don't come any closer!" She pleaded him with her eyes now, tears threatening to fall.

"Oh? She had a boyfriend?" The man let Izuku go, and she instantly pulled away from him, her hand going to her throat. "Alright, my bad. Don't want to take away some girl whose taken... But I don't feel like giving chase on something I shouldn't." He looked back at her as she caught her breath, and glared up at him. She was coughing as Tomura walked away and Katsuki dropped his bag and ran to her in an instant. She grabbed at his arm, and choked a bit on air.

"Sh-shigaraki...!" She stood up, holding onto Katsuki who was still threatening to blow the place up. "Wh-What is All for One's ultimate goal?!" she shouted after him, no longer caring.

"Shigaraki...?" Katsuki looked down at her, and then back at the guy who had been with her. He heard that name before, from the incident report at USJ...

"Dunno, what ever." Tomura said as he walked away into the crowd. "But you should focus on taking care of yourself... A pretty girl should never be left alone, or she might die."

"WAIT!" Katsuki went to run after him, to beat him to a pulp, to blast him into orbit, but Izuku reached out a hand and grabbed at his arm. She saw his eyes look back at her, and she was still trying to get her breath back.

"Don't...! He'll murder innocent people...!" She cried out to him, her tears finally falling down her cheeks. She pulled her hand away from her throat and the tiny trickles of blood could be seen.

"That... THAT BASTARD! I'LL KILL HIM FIRST!" Katsuki turned to run after him again but felt Izuku's strong grip on his wrist. He looked back at her as she held onto him tightly, and sobbed out.

"I was so scared... Where were you...?" She asked him, crying. "I couldn't... I couldn't do anything... I was powerless..." She felt his arms come up around her and pull her into a tight hug. "K-Kacchan I couldn't do anything...!" She sobbed out loudly as she gripped his shirt.

"Damnit...!" Katsuki growled out under his breath as he held her, before whipping out his cell phone. He dialed for the police while he held her, and she sobbed into his shirt.

"Midoriya?!" She heard Iida call out her name as she cried, but she just wanted to be held. She continued to sob as others came running, ignoring their questions as she went over the horrific scene in her head... If Katsuki hadn't show up... She'd be dead... She gripped his shirt tightly at that thought, and felt a soothing hand on the back of her head.

When the Police and first responders showed up, she was given some treatment for the small cuts on her neck made by Tomura, before she was taken to the Police station. Katsuki refused to leave her side, and she was glad for it. She held his hand the whole time she was questioned, answering every one she possibly could. She was fortunately being asked by All Might's friend, Tsukauchi, and the whole time she was gripping Katsuki's hand tightly.

"Thank you for answering everything, Miss Midoriya," The kind man said in a comforting tone.

"I'm sorry... I couldn't stop him..." Izuku looked to the table, and felt tears in her eyes again. "I should have.. I should have done something..." She felt Katsuki's hand grip hers tightly in response, but she couldn't bare to look at him after all the crying she'd done, and especially after letting Tomura get away.

"No, not at all. It's very impressive how well you held yourself together." Tsukauchi smiled at her warmly a she looked up at him. "With so many lives at stake... Including yours, Most people would have panicked. You're the reason no one died."

With the questioning over, she was escorted out side, and she still held onto Katsuki's hand for dear life. She finally looked up at him, but saw that he had a pained look in his eyes as he looked down at her. She felt stunned for a moment, before she heard her mother's crying, and she turned her gaze away to see a police officer with her.

"Your ride is here," Tsukauchi said with a smile.

"Izuku... plese stop... you almost gave me a heart attack!" Inko sobbed, and Katsuki finally let go of her hand as they approached her mother, and she hugged her. Izuku felt horrible that her mother had to worry like that, and frowned.

"Mom, I'm sorry... You don't need to be so upset..." She told her with a frown. "The Heroes, Police and... And Kacchan have been doing a good job protecting me... please stop crying..."

Izuku, Katsuki and Inko were escorted home by a kindly police officer with the head of a cat, and when they arrived, Izuku stopped at the door as her mother went in. She turned to look back at Katsuki who had followed them up, and she blushed softly in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry you had too..." She started but felt him pull her into a tight hug.

"Don't..." His voice was in her ear, and she felt her cheeks heat up more. "Don't apologize. I did it because I wanted to." She felt his hug tighten around her, and her heart pounded in her chest. "I'm sorry I left you alone..." two times... It was now two times she had ever heard him apologize in her enter life. "I'm going home now... But..." He loosened his hold on her and looked her in the eyes. "Don't leave this building with out me, do you hear me?" She nodded her head as she saw the firm gaze he had. "If you want to go some where call me. Until I kill that fucking bastard I don't want you by yourself!"

"K-Kacchan... I have to live my life..." She told him, smiling nervously.

"I know..." He gripped her shoulders tightly now and his head was on her shoulder. She felt her whole being go red with embarrassment. "Just... Just indulge me... Alright? Till I calm down..."

"I've known you for years, that could take forever." Izuku laughed nervously, unsure of what else to do. He ws being so serious, she had never seen him like this before and it was making her heart pound loudly, what if he heard it?

"Shut up," He said with a grumble, there it was. The Kasuki she'd known her whole life. "It's late..." She felt him let go of her, and she looked up at him as he stood up. "Now go right to bed, don't fucking dawdle on the internet, right to sleep. Got it?"

"Y-Yes..." She said with a nervous smile as she looked up at him, before she turned around and opened her door. Her heart couldn't take much more of such a gentle Katsuki, she was going to pop from all the blood rushing to her head. "Ah um..." She turned to look back at him as he stood there, and she smiled at him.

"Thank you... You're always saving my life." She told him warmly.

"Stop getting in so much damn trouble, It's a full time job." He told her with grumble. She let out a soft laugh, before she turned to go inside.

"Good night, Kacchan." She said as she walked inside and went to close the door. She paused a bit as it clicked shut, and felt her legs give out in that second. She sat there in the entrance for a few minutes, before crawling into her bedroom. She got up onto her mattress, not bothering to change as she lay there, staring at the ceiling for a long moment. She heard her phone buzz in her purse and she pulled it out to see thousands of messages from everyone, but the one that made her heart throb was the latest one at the top. A simple two words, Good Night.
