Hi everyone, here I am with another Deku-Ghost: chapter for you guys. I know today is not Sunday as I usually post, but due to some personal problems I will post the chapter today.
A tense silence enveloped the Shiroi Zugaikotsu meeting room; all the gang captains were gathered there looking at their boss, Ashido Mina. The pink one was leaning over the table with her eyes closed with her hands crossed in front of her face; she was breathing calmly completely ignoring the tension of her colleagues around her.
She suddenly let out a long sigh raising a hand to her face rubbing her eyes, after which she leaned back in her chair and looked directly at one of the gang members, who was sitting at the table.
"Let me see if I understood correctly what you explained to me…" Starts Mina with a voice clearly exasperated with the situation. "Don't we only have to deal with one, not two, but five vigilantes now? What the hell, are they growing from trees now? It's a new kind of plague!?"
The pink woman didn't try to hide her anger, which made all the Shiroi Zugaikotsu members there cringe trying to curl up in their chairs. Suddenly she stood up slamming her hands on the table with a frown on her face that made everyone there freeze as they stared at her.
"And to make the situation even better, our main information collectors are dead!? This is... I don't even know what I should say right now to properly express my anger." Growls the woman before she stops and looks directly at one of the corners of the room, with that she rolls her eyes before sitting down again. "Great, now even our security is good, do you want to come out of the shadows soon so we can finish with that?"
"Of course Ashido-san..." Declares a new voice, which makes everyone turn to the corner of the room.
From there emerged a female figure wearing a black outfit that covered her entire body, it was quite similar to a battle kimono with a mesh shirt and a kind of vest, in addition it had several yellow lines around it, as well as a belt full of pockets. The figure still had a raised hood that covered a totally black mask with yellow lenses in the eyes and on its back it had what appeared to be two so many in an 'x'.
She soon walked forward, putting herself in the light and then stopped at the other end of the table looking directly at the pink one, with that she gave everyone a quick bow.
"Hello everyone, I'm a member of the shadows and we heard about a certain problem you are having with a ghost." Declares the costumed woman getting up. "We've offered to deal with that little problem of yours, for a price of course."
"Serious? We already have every criminal and gang in town hunting this ghost, what makes you special other than crashing a meeting of ours?" Questions a council member, receiving a look from Ashido.
In response the woman just stared at him before the same man who spoke screamed spitting blood with a blade coming out of his chest, he tried to break free, but soon fell on the table dead, revealing that behind him there was another ninja with all black clothes with a bloodied blade in his hands.
"We are specialists in killing, whether living people or ghosts."
[...]
The hum of the computer echoed at the base of the guards, with Izuku sitting in front of the screen, he kept seeing the image of the new guard appearing several times, always playing the video again, in addition he kept reading some documents and data that appeared in other screens. Despite his focus on the screens in front of him, he could feel Mei and Rumi's gazes on him, but he ignored them in favor of finishing his work, the greenish man had a theory about this new figure, but he needed more proof.
"Does he really do this often?" Asks Rumi with a frown sitting in the wheelchair looking at the green.
"It depends, obsessing about a mystery, obsessing about taking down the league of villains, obsessing about training, or obsessing about anything?" Asks Mei with her arms crossed, staring at her friend working. "The answer is yes."
"Which one?" Asks Rumi worried.
"All alternatives."
At that moment, they hear a bark and look behind the couch they were sitting on and see Chizome holding what looked like a small stick while Ace was barking and jumping towards the man.
"Get it boy!" Exclaims the man throwing the object making the dog run after it, with that he turned to the two women. "What is that now?"
"How can you be playing with a dog right now? Don't you have an ounce of empathy for him?" Demands Rumi with narrowed eyes, which makes Chizome roll her eyes.
"Oh please, as if this were the worst thing he does, have you seen the state he returns to today? In addition, that is not counting the child who is fighting alongside us right now." Mocks the man, not really seeming to care before kneeling down and taking the object that Ace took, with that, he rubbed the animal's head. "Anyway, if it worries you so much why don't you try to get him out of there?"
"No." Izuku's voice echoes, making Rumi and Chizome shudder.
"Of course he would be listening to us..." Rumi thinks, staring at the worried boy, it wasn't healthy for him to be so... obsessed with that.
It was at that moment that the doors opened revealing a set of floating women's clothing, Tooru walked a little way before stopping to see Izuku in front of the computer with the same clothes as last night, she turned to the others there and was about to ask what she feared, but Rumi was faster.
"No, he didn't sleep, he spent the whole night working, but anyway you can try to make him go take a nap."
Hearing this, Hagakure furrows her brow and even though no one could see it, she started towards Izuku. Noticing that, Mei smiled before getting up and quickly following the invisible woman, they soon arrived behind the greenish one who continued his work, however the two soon turned his chair to face him noticing almost immediately the dark circles in his eyes.
- I am busy. – Declares Izuku, staring blankly at them and was about to turn his chair, but ended up being interrupted by an invisible hand.
- No! You're not going back to it, you're going to sleep. - Declares Tooru aggressively looking directly at the greenish one.
In response he turns to her and with his eyes looking directly where her eyes would be, which made Tooru shudder and cursed the boy in her mind, it was frustrating how he was the only one who managed to land the gaze directly in her eyes. She did not know what was worse, the look in his eyes now or the fact that she missed when someone looked her in the eyes like that.
"This is important."
"And what would not be important nowadays?" Asks Mei raising her eyebrow getting a look from him.
"Mei... These new vigilantes are dangerous for people and for themselves." Declares the boy in a tired tone, which caused a slight shiver in Tooru. "I need to know who they are now before it's too late."
"Izuku, I won't deny that this isn't worrying, but look at you, your current state, you look horrible!" Exclaims Tooru energetically making Mei and Izuku turn towards her, however the invisible woman didn't finish, she immediately advanced and grabbed his collar and pulled him close to her. "Damn Izuku-kun, you may not care about yourself anymore, but we do and it hurts to see you like this, so please… just rest, for thirty minutes".
After that, silence settled in place making Rumi and Chizome face the trio arguing with their jaws dropped, Ace just panted going towards the former hero killer, Mei on the other hand widened her eyes watching Tooru and mainly, how the two seemed to be so close to each other. On the other hand, Izuku just studied the invisible woman with a tired and lost look on her face, which only increased her concern.
Tooru hated that, that lack of sparkle in his eyes, it was painful for her to observe that lack of self-love in Izuku, and the worst thing was that even before he was like that, but no one had tried to change him or help him. She should have done something earlier, anything; she should have stopped him from getting to that point and...
"Thirty minutes." The greenish agrees before getting up and starting to walk away towards the rooms, ignoring the looks he received from the others, something Tooru couldn't.
"What?" Asks the nervous woman seeing the looks directed at her.
[...]
The sound of footsteps echoed through Ganbaru's apartment heading towards the living room of the place. The place was suddenly silent revealing Takeo tiptoeing around the place, the child advanced until he stopped in front of the sofa and looked directly at the piece of furniture, or rather, the person who was sleeping there.
Kyoka Jiro wasn't someone who slept late, far from it in fact, she always considered herself an early riser, but last night's events were taking their toll on her, even more so for her lack of habit of staying up doing so many activities.
Takeo on the other hand was quite excited staring at the older woman, he had never met anyone other than his mother and it was even more surprising to see someone in the apartment, another thing that intrigued him were her ears, young Ganbaru had never seen anyone with those extended lobes and that enchanted him.
"Could this be one of those quirks okaa-san kept telling me about?" Thinks Takeo leaning closer to the woman's head. "I wonder what he does? The tip looks like a headphone plug; does it have something to do with her hearing? Would her eardrums be more evolved or modified than normal people's? ..."
It was at that moment, a snarl caught Takeo's attention, making the boy shift his focus to the face of the woman who now woke up while blinking her eyes letting out a yawn; however, she soon froze when faced with Takeo's innocent expression.
"O-Oh you woke up." Stutters Takeo moving away as he lowered his head and started tapping his fingers. "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up..."
"Oh shit… He's too cute, fuck you broccoli head, I blame you for that" Curses Kyoka with a huff as she sits down on the couch, ignoring her slightly sore muscles.
"It's okay, I should be awake now, so you did me a big favor by waking me up." Ensures the purple one rubbing her neck looking at the sofa, it was completely unfair that a sofa managed to be more comfortable than her bed, at that moment she noticed how little Takeo was fidgeting with an anxious look, one that she knew well and not can fail to bring a smile to her face. "Let me guess, you want to ask me about my quirk?"
"Ah… Yes, how did you know? Can you read my mind?" Asks the impressed boy while smiling excitedly at Kyoka, who cannot help but smile at the child.
"Fuck you Midoriya..." Thinks Kyoka laughing lightly, feeling recovered just talking to the child. "Something like that, anyway, you can ask whatever you want, I'll answer it any way I can."
Immediately Takeo started asking several questions while the purple one answered in any way she could, although she did not even notice, but at some point during the conversation, she picked up the child and placed him in her lap while the two continued talking. They stayed like that for some time before the boy noticed a wistful smile on Kyoka's face, which made her snort in amusement at the sight of it.
"Jiro-oba-san?" Are you well? - Asks the worried boy.
"Yes, yes I am, don't worry about it kid, it's just... you reminded me of someone..."
Saying that Kyoka let out an affectionate smile remembering her past with a boy with broccoli green hair and now that she was beside his son... it was impossible not to remember him.
"Serious? How was he?"
"How was he?" Kyoka repeats with a nostalgic look on her face. "He was the best of us, the greatest hero I've ever known, kind, humble, with a heart as big as his strength... and smart, frighteningly smart, a bit like you in fact, he had the same way of thinking, and mumbling about other people's quirks..."
Takeo listened attentively as an astonished expression appeared on his face, delighted with the person Kyoka was describing.
"Wow, he looks amazing, what was his name Jiro-oba-san? What was his quirk must be an amazing one, just like him." Asks the boy almost jumping on her lap excitedly, something that made the woman laugh amused with it.
"His name was Midoriya Izuku and he was amazing even before his quirk appeared."
"In fact." A new voice echoes in the room making the two on the sofa turn around to see Momo walking towards them.
"Okaa-san." Greets Takeo getting up from Kyoka's lap and running to his mother before hugging her, something the woman reciprocated with the same energy.
Seeing the scene Kyoka let out a small smile, with that, she got up from the couch and started walking towards the mother and son, something that Momo noticed and knelt on the floor to look her son in the eyes.
"Takeo-kun, why don't you go to your room to paint? I got you some new paints and crayons." Offers the woman, receiving an excited smile from her son, who waved giving the mother another hug before leaving towards the bedroom, under the attentive gaze of the two.
"You made a little cinnamon roll, huh?" Kyoka comments with a strange tone looking to where the boy walked away, which made Momo sigh and get up.
"To be honest I think it's hereditary, but I don't complain about it… he was the best thing that happened to me… And I wanted to talk to you too Kyoka-san." Reveals Momo turning to the purple one. "Things are going to get worse now and I have two favors to ask…
"Only two?" Kyoka comments with a raised eyebrow, with an amused expression before snorting. "You who asked to return to active duty to fight against the villains and now you want two more favors? Are you sure you don't want a massage too?"
As soon as she heard her friend speak, Momo laughed briefly, something the purple girl imitated, the two stayed like that for some time before Ganbaru turned serious and looked at her friend.
"Kyoka-san… would you accept to be Takeo's godmother?" Questions Momo making Kyoka widen her eyes staring at her.
The purple one stared at her friend for a few moments, her jaw dropping with the surprise of her offer, something Kyoka certainly never expected to happen even more so at the current moment. Seeing this the brunette let out a sigh, looking disappointed, with that she crossed her arms and raised her eyebrow at her friend.
"Is it so surprising Kyoka-san? You're the only person I could trust Takeo-kun with, you're my best friend and the one who stayed by my side the whole time." Declares Momo with a loving smile, which left the brunette in silence with a shocked expression. "Which brings me to the second favor. Wouldn't you rather live here? With Takeo-kun and me.
Kyoka was silent with a hesitant look on her face, considering the offer, she was tempted to do it but it still seemed difficult, Takeo might be a great boy but he was still Momo and Izuku's son... The man who she loved. It would be hard to live with the two of them, knowing that Takeo was a constant vision of what could have been if she had not been so shy, but at the same time, Kyoka felt like she owed it to him, everything he sacrificed for her, for everyone.
She had made her decision and for the first time in a long time, she had a clear conscience.
"OK, I accept."
[...]
"You know, sometimes it's easy to forget that she trained to be a hero with us." Comments Eijiro sitting on a bench with a bottle of water in his hand.
In front of him was Katsuki holding a barbell, lifting it with some difficulty before putting it down on the rack gasping for air as he got up and directed his gaze to what his redheaded colleague was looking at.
It was Ochaco, she was wearing a simple gym outfit with some bandages tied around her hands, yet she was punching a punching bag with great intensity and force, each blow seeming to echo throughout the gym, causing some of the officers and recruits to back away from the crowd woman. Seeing this, Katsuki raised an eyebrow and turned to the redhead while pointing at the brunette, in response Eijiro just shrugged.
(With Ochaco)
"Jab, straight, jab, cross, hook, straight, jab, straight, cross, hook..." Ochaco recounts as she landed the aforementioned blows, she was huffing with a grimace watching as her fists impacted the soft surface of the punching bag.
Her mind on the other hand, was racing, the adrenaline she felt making every punch she threw echo in her ears like explosions.
(Flashback)
Uravity was running alongside Froppy towards the gate of the U.S.J while sirens and explosions occurred outside, suddenly the gates were opened by a drone nomu that roared before several others entered, forcing the heroes inside to fight back.
(End of flashback)
Her eyes seemed to lose focus as the bag began to sway with her blows, though she did not seem to notice, her body seeming to adapt automatically to continue her series of blows.
(Flashback)
"No one knows who you are under the mask." Declares Ochaco approaching someone who was in his apartment in front of a box. "You could stop this and have a normal life."
The person ran his hand over the box before his head lifted slightly and turned around showing a white mask with purple spots that seemed to be in constant motion, he was still wearing a beige overcoat with a hat of the same color.
"A normal life? Is this what you have now? When you walk the streets of a world that is slowly dying from violence, depravity and other evils, do you find that normal Uraraka-san?" Asks the man with a hoarse and tired voice, staring at her attentively before dropping the trunk making Uravity's helmet roll across the floor before stopping with his face turned to the two, reflecting them.
Her sight of the helmet she once wore with pride was a blow to Ochaco's heart before she turned her gaze to the person in the room with her.
"At least I don't hide behind a mask. - Ochaco replies angrily, but that didn't seem to affect the person who just stared at her, with that he turned towards the window, which made her look worried.
"H-hey Shi.."
"Have a good night Uraraka-san, it was good to see you again and my name is Rorschach." With that, the figure leaves through the window, closing it as he leaves silently, leaving Ochaco alone there.
Slowly she walked towards her helmet, taking it in her hands and staring at it, she stayed like that for a while, before putting her back against the wall and sitting on the floor, hugging the object in her hands, starting to cry.
(End of flashback.)
Suddenly Ochaco gave a spin performing a kick, which made the chain that held the bag break sending the object to the ground in a thud, making everyone stare in astonishment. The woman took a deep breath for a few moments until her expression turned serious, with that she started to walk away, while everyone there gave her a wide berth.
"...It's still not enough, now I don't have my quirk anymore, I have to get better fast, I need to get in shape fast." Ochaco thinks, clenching her fists before grabbing her bag and starting to walk away from the academy, getting a look from Katsuki and Eijiro, which she returns with a curt wave.
Katsuki and Eijiro stare at each other before the redhead points to the brunette leaving the gym.
"So… should we go after her?" Asks the man, making the blonde face him before shaking his head.
"No, round cheeks is smart and tough, besides she is already an adult, she can deal with her own problems."
[...]
Momo slowly opened the door of Takeo's room and had to contain herself from laughing seeing her son sleeping on the table with a little drool falling from his mouth, with that she approached her son silently before picking him up in the lap and takes him to the bed, laying him down and fixing him. Once that was done, she placed a kiss on his forehead and walked away, however before she left, Momo took one last look at her sleeping son and closed the door.
As soon as she closed the door, her expression changed completely to a more serious one and she turns to Kyoka leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, the two share a look before there is a knock on the door.
Immediately Kyoka goes towards the entrance of the apartment and opens it to reveal Ochaco standing there staring at her.
"Okay, you're here. Now, come on, we have a lot to do now." Declares Momo seriously before walking away, with her two friends starting to follow her.
With that, the three women headed to Ganbaru's office and as soon as they arrived, Kyoka and Ochaco sat in the chairs in front of the main table while Momo went to the chair on the other side and placed her finger on a digital reader that glowed a just reading her fingerprint before flashing green. At that moment three shelves of the place moved forward before rotating revealing three different uniforms as well as some equipment and weapons, with each of the clothes being differentiated by the color it had on it, one being purple, the other pink and the last one being a yellow one.
"It's still strange to think that we're doing something like this again…" Comments Ochaco looking at the uniform with the yellow details before turning to Momo who was closing the windows behind her.
"We can agree on that." Kyoka mutters with a grunt before Momo turns to them and turns on her computer, which shows a map of the entire city.
"We can discuss this later, for now; we should plan our next attack.
(Some hours later.)
Two shadows ran through the darkness of the night, jumping between the buildings quickly. This continued for some time until the two stopped in front of a now burning building, the light created by the fire illuminated them showing that they were the Deku-Ghost and Deku, the two faced the destruction with varying degrees of emotion.
The older of the two didn't seem to have a visible emotion, watching the flames neutrally for a few moments until his gaze turned to Deku at his side. She on the other hand, seemed more affected by what he saw; an uncertain expression could be seen in her, even beneath the mask, as were her eyes that stared into the fire of the place.
"Don't lose focus, the night isn't over yet." Deku-Ghost declares in a calm tone, making Deku turn to him.
"…I could say the same about you." Murmurs the girl softly, which makes the guard turn completely to face her, which makes her cringe. "I'm sorry, it's just… I couldn't help noticing how you seem more tense tonight, more tense than usual… Is something wrong?"
In response, the man just continued to stare at her silently, making her take a step back raising her hands in surrender.
"Ok, ok, the speaker isn't here anymore, but… maybe you should open up to someone… like Hatsume-nee or Hagakure-nee…" Deku declares, slightly worried.
After that, the boy suddenly let out a sigh before turning towards the burning building.
"...We are on the verge of a massive gang war, Deku; the Dekiru don't stop attacking the Shiroi Zugaikotsu and everyone is seeing this as an opportunity, the new Shie Hassakai, the clowns, La Brava, the League of Villains. Everyone they're getting agitated with this conflict, if we can destroy them we'll have one less organization to deal with, but with that we'd have a big power vacuum... and that scares me." Deku-ghost explains, making Deku face him worriedly, before his mentor suddenly turns around and throws a shuriken in her direction.
However, before she could do anything, the projectile passed by her left and the girl heard a thud that she came to recognize after hearing it night after night, the sound of a body falling to the ground. Immediately she leapt towards her mentor and withdrew her two fencing sticks, entering a combat stance, however upon recognizing her opponent, her eyes widened to see ten people appear on the roof, all dressed as ninjas.
"Good night Deku-ghost-san, it's a pleasure to finally meet you." Greets the woman in front of the ninjas, joining her hands and bowing, something that was copied by each of the warriors behind her.
"Good evening, the pleasure is mine." The man nods, returning the greeting in the same way, which earned him a shocked look from Deku.
"What the hell!? He just killed a ninja and now they're shaking hands like they're friendly with each other!? What is happening!?" Thinks Deku watching the exchange with wide eyes, his eyes going from the Deku-Ghost to the ninjas and alternating.
(In the lair.)
"…Ninjas? Now there are ninjas!?" Demands wide-eyed Rumi looking at the screen while Mei is drinking a cup of coffee expressionlessly, with Tooru watching everything over her shoulder, with the same surprise as the former rabbit heroine.
"Believe me, I've been asking myself this question for almost a year..." Azrael comments on the communicator while sighing. "They need help?"
(On the roof.)
Once they finished bowing, they lifted their heads and faced each other with Deku swallowing hard feeling the tension around her and it was uncomfortable.
"Deku, run away." Commands the Deku-Ghost while his fists are clenched and the ninjas do not seem to change their position.
"What? No! I can't leave you here alone with them and..."
"That was an order Deku, you are not ready for this fight and they are being kind enough to allow you to retreat." Declares the man making Deku freeze, which made him sigh before hitting her in the back of the head, knocking her out.
Once that was done he caught the girl before she fell and gently placed her against the wall next to the fire exit, with that he got up, turned off his communicator and faced his opponents.
"Thank you for your patience and I apologize for the delay..." Thanks Izuku walking towards the ninjas before getting into a combat position. "But anyway… Shall we?"
Immediately, one of the ninjas overtook the others, which made the woman moan, looking irritated with the situation, slapping her forehead. However, the Deku-ghost ignored this and focused on his rapidly approaching foe with a kick.
The vigilante got out of the way easily while tilting his head to the side letting a fist pass him, with that the Deku-Ghost hit a knee between the ninja's legs making him widen his eyes in pain before taking a punch in the jaw that knocked him to the ground. Suddenly the former hero turned around grabbing a staff that was going to hit his head with his hands before stepping on the ninja's foot causing a crack, which made him scream in pain.
Taking advantage of his opponent's distraction, Deku-Ghost pulled his staff and with a spin, he broke it in the face of its wielder, still taking advantage of the spin, the vigilante used the broken part of the staff to pierce the chest of another ninja who approached him from behind. However, he could not rest when he was forced to dodge a ninja with two nuchakus.
While this was happening, the female ninja was watching the fight intently with an almost blank stare watching the fight.
"Interesting... This fighting style is fierce but controlled, it has some flaws, very obvious openings, but it's still effective... and it's certainly not one you learned from the heroes of yesteryear, Deku-Ghost, who interesting man you are..." Reflects the woman before starting to walk towards the fight.
The vigilante punched one of the ninjas in the face, throwing him at his colleague before turning around and raising his forearm to block a blade, which created some sparks thanks to the armor on his clothes, with that he found himself facing the probable leader of your opponents.
"As you are interesting, tell me who trained you?" Asks the woman in a friendly tone, something the guard ignores before kicking her in the stomach and throwing shuriken at her.
However, when she hit the ground, she ended up using momentum to spin around, getting to her feet before using her tantas to dodge the shurikens, which only made her smile at her opponent.
"You're good, I like that." Praises the woman before running towards the Deku-Ghost again.
"Thanks, you're not bad either." Declares the vigilante as he turns his body out of the path of the blade and punches the woman directly in the side before kicking her back again.
(In the lair.)
"Is it just me or is this assassin ninja trying to flirt with him?" Asks Rumi with hesitation before noticing how Mei was staring at the screen with dead eyes holding her mug tightly and how Tooru was quiet. "Okay… I'll take that as a yes."
(Back to the fight.)
The woman rolled across the floor before getting up, taking off her hood and mask, revealing her face to the vigilante. She was a beautiful Japanese woman with pale skin with gray eyes and slightly disheveled coal black hair reaching the back of her neck; however, the most shocking thing about her were the countless scars that crossed her face.
The ninja smiled at the Deku-ghost before starting to approach him swaying her hips, never losing eye contact with him.
"I must admit, you surprised me, not everyone can fight me nowadays." Reveals the woman smiling at him while sheathing her tan. "Even those annoying heroes couldn't handle me when I took one of my so many, but I think you already noticed that, didn't you 'Deku'?"
"You still have your quirk, something of the mutant class… you took a while to attack me, unlike your colleagues, you analyzed me, studied how I fought and reacted, creating a strategy to face me quickly." Answers the guard expressionlessly, making the ninja smile even more.
"Yes you are right, that's my quirk: Eye of Death, it allows a certain clairvoyance against my opponent regarding how he fights, very useful in battle, but you somehow got me... your kicks, I had predicted punches, how did you get around my quirk?"
"Why are you telling me this? Am I not your target?" Asks the guard before the woman smiles, attacks him again, and jumps with a flying jump towards him.
However, as soon as she was about to hit him, the guard looked away, before a black and yellow figure intercepted her in the air, which made the two figures roll across the floor until they stopped. The ninja grunted getting up only to narrow her eyes when she saw one of the Dekiru there, this one with a kanji similar to a '3' on her chest in yellow.
"Other? I have to agree with Ashido, are you growing out of trees?" Asks the ninja with a growl, which made the 'Dekiru' in front of her growl at her.
"It's none of your business, bitch." With that, Dekiru attacks the ninja who just dodges the attacks before running towards the Deku-Ghost stopping beside him with a smile.
"My name is Kimiko, I expect a rematch next time." With that, the now called Kimiko walks away blowing a kiss to the Deku-Ghostbefore jumping from the roof.
Seeing this, Dekiru's eyes widened and she ran over there, bending over to try to see where the ninja was, however she widened her eyes when she did not see anyone else there. With that she walked away from the edge of the roof and turned to greet the Deku-Ghost, but she could not help but frown when she saw that neither he nor Deku were in sight anymore.
And that's all folks.
