Miko has been walking towards her after having split up with her brother and now only being with Hana and Nana
"Hm~hm~hm~"
"Shimura-san?"
"Yeah?"
"I know this should be a no brainer...but...you really do love Izuku, don't you? Especially hearing you say about him being like your son and all...", "Haha...Yes, I sure do...", "Mh..." Miko wanted to ask more but, was rather unsure as to whether, it was great idea to ask her question
"He sure is pretty similar to Toshi, in a lot of ways...", "Toshi?" Miko was confused for a second before, realizing, "Oh! You mean him...", "Huh? Who's that Miko?", "A-Ah? Ehh...h-he's a teacher at UA, who trains Izuku as a coach outside of it...", "Uh-huh", "Hm"
She looked towards Nana again, "I can see the similarities there...", "Yeah, although I would say...no offense to Izuku but...Toshi was more confident and...physically stronger...", "Hm?", "Yeah...if you had seen him even back when he was in his junior high, you would know exactly, what I am talking about...", "Oh"
The girl was silent after that; wondering whether, it would be a great idea to ask, what's in her mind
After contemplating for a few more seconds, she made up her mind, "Shimura-san?"
"Yeah?", "Did you...used to have a family", "Huh? Of course I did...how else, did you think, I was born?", "Ah! No! I meant whether you were married and had kids or not!", "Oh"
There was a silence that filled the air, making Miko uneasy
"Yes...I was married...and I did have a son...and he too had a family of his own...", "I-I see", "But, they are dead now...", "Oh..." I...really...shouldn't have asked that... "My husband died because of...HIM", "H-Him?" Nana came close to her ear, "You know...the bastard with the name of his own quirk...the name that's the reverse of Izuku's one", "A-Ah! You mean him!" she just realized who she was talking about
"Hm? Both of you, what are you two talking about?" Hana, who seemed to have been a little far off from them, asked, "Well...you see...we were just talking about her life, when she was alive!", "Oh!"
After that, the trio continued walking, while Miko didn't want to bring up about the dead woman's past...
"Hmm..." the woman in question was deep in her thoughts, recalling some of her old memories
(Flashback)
"Oh dear...where has he gone? It's been already hours since he went to get stuff I said him to buy..." she had her arms crossed, while tapping her foot Hm, I even tried calling him but, he isn't even picking up her expression started to get more uneasy What if something happened she shook her head No! It's probably nothing...I hope...
She eventually made up her mind and was on her way to search for him, while calling on her, Sorahiko I'll call him to as-
The sound of the doorbell rang throughout the house, reaching the woman in the kitchen
"Haah...finally, he's back..." she walked towards the entrance
"Seriously...what took you so long?" she opened the door, "Huh? He isn-" she immediately noticed the large cardboard box that sat right on the entrance, "What is thi- OH GOD! WHAT IS THIS AWFUL SMELL?!" she waved her hand, trying to fan the odor away, while pinching her nose
The smell seemed to be coming off of the box, which caused Nana to start sweating as, she once again gained a uneasy look No, no, no, no, NO! Why am I thinking like that?! This must be a prank or something! IT HAS TO BE!!!
Her hands slowly reached the openings with, her breaths getting more and more heavier I am just overthinking it... she slowly opened the box I MUST BE!
When she opened it fully, what greeted her was the appearance of black bags, bundled one over, another
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! This is a joke, right? This has to be a joke, right?!" slowly unzipping the bag on the top revealed
"Hck!"
Her face was drained of out its color as, more and more sweat poured down. Her eyes wide, while her mouth hung
"Haah...haaah...haaah..."
The odor worsened as, the contents of the bag were opened revealing...a mutilated head, dripping with blood, dropped into the box
"Haaah...haaah...haaah..."
The face, despite being filled with various kinds of wounds, was still noticeable...the face of her husband was visible...
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"
Nana screamed in horror; the sound being heard by everyone nearby, including by her son
"M-MOM! WHAT'S WRONG?!"
The young boy ran towards the entrance, worried about his mother
"Huh?!" the woman turned her head towards the boy, "K-KOTARO! DON'T COME HERE! PLEASE! DON'T!!" she immediately threw herself and hugged him tightly, "PLEASE DON'T SEE IT! YOU SHOULDN'T SEE IT, KOTARO! YOU SHOULDN'T!!" the mother begged her son to not look inside the box as, she started crying
"M-Mom?! Why are you crying?! What did you see?! Tell me, mom!", "Kotaro asked his mother anxiously
"Just...understand, Kotaro...please...don't look into it...please...don't...please don't..." she kept on repeating, making the boy more and more worried and anxious
Why, why, why, WHY?! WHY DID YOU GO AWAY?! YOU PROMISED TO ME!! YOU SAID, YOU WILL BE THERE FOR US!! her mind was in a mess, as she grinded her teeth really hard
"Ah!"
It was at this moment, did she think about using OFA. She turned her head towards the entrance once again, after powering her quirk to a small enough amount
"Ah..."
At the entrance stood, a man covered in a dark mist. He had short spiky black hair and black dead eyes. He wore a blue t shirt and dull yellow pants
"Ahh..."
The most noticeable thing about him though, other than the most, was the fact that, his entire body looked like it could fall apart at any moment
"Sorry...Nana...I am...sorry...I couldn't...keep my...promise...I am sorry...I really am..." the painful moans of the man was heard, and it seems...it was only heard, by her
"No...", "I am sorry..", "Stop...", "I am...", "Please...", "Sorry...", "Stop!"
The woman's eyes leaked more and more tears as, she looked at the ghost of her dead husband
"Aah...aahh..aahhh...AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Her horrified scream filled the neighborhood once again...
(Flashback ends)
"Hmm..." the memory caused the woman's mood to become somber
"You don't know, how much fun I had, tearing him apart, while hearing his screams~ahh~it was truly beautiful~! You should've been there~!"
"Tch"
"Eh? Is something wrong, Shimura-san?", "A-Ah? O-Oh! Sorry! I was just...remembering a bad memory...yeah...", "Oh..." Ok, I reeeally shouldn't have asked her "I-I'm...sorry...", "Hm? For what?", "I shouldn't have brought up about you know...", "Oh! Don't worry about that! It's not your fault...it was an old memory I keep remembering at times...", "Ok..."
The walk towards her school remained a silent one as, it came within visible distance
"So, I'll be out here, and in case there is somekind of trouble, I will make sure to come as, fast as possible", "Thanks!", "Your welcome, kid" a hand then, came out of the will o' wisp and made a sideways peace sign, followed by the woman slowly became transparent
Did she just? You know, what? Whatever! Miko sighed and turned towards her school, walking along with Hana. They talked about what they would be doing today and even about what they would do after school
Sorry for the short chapter...
