Red: Sorry I haven't updated, guys. I've been on summer vacation for a few weeks now and I would've gotten this chapter out sooner, but since it's summer now, I've been hanging out with friends, which sadly distracts me from typing. ^^; I also got a job and that takes some of my time as well.

Replies to reviews:

Baron von Nobody: That's a good way of describing Kagome's powers. Thank you for giving me some ideas for future chapters. :)

kerrowe: It is indeed an odd pairing, for many reasons actually. xD Most people like to pair her up with a good looking guy like Genos, but when I watched the anime, my love was for the unappreciated Saitama the whole time, so I decided to write this fanfic and have a girl who shares my love for him and to be with him. And you know her hero complex won't let her not become a registered hero, even if she doesn't completely have control of her powers yet. (I don't want to reveal too much about what I have planned for her, so you will just have to wait and see. ;D) And I'm glad you like my overpowered Kagome. :)

BenevolentBizzy: I agree, OP Kagome is pretty awesome.

Scarlatta Rain: Aw, reader, you don't have to be sorry for what you wrote. I was just messing with you, I'm not really ashamed of you for liking smut, I've read plenty myself. Ha ha. xD And you want more admirers for Kagome? Oh, gosh. She would be so busy trying to get all the boys under control. Poor her. Lol But don't worry, there will be plenty of people wanting her attention, but only a chosen few will actually get it. *cough* Genos *cough* Saitama *cough*

BatmanFanatic123: I'm glad my fic was able to brighten your day. :)

Artistely: Oh my goodness, Artistely. Your review was the longest out of all the reviews I have ever gotten on this story and it was all in Spanish, which I don't really know very well. xD (Luckily I have a Spanish friend who was able to help me out with the translation.) I'm glad that even though this story was only three chapters when you read it that you enjoyed it so much. I'm trying my best to keep the OPM characters somewhat accurate to how they act. And I enjoy the Saitama x Kagome relationship so far as well. I read all of the fanfics on here and I was sad that none of them were Saitama pairings, so since I couldn't find a fic with that couple, I decided to write my own. :P And I would make it purely Saitama x Kagome, but I wanted Genos to have love too. I plan to have a chapter with purely Genos x Kagome because I have ideas for why Kagome would be perfect for him as well. :) I'm also glad that you enjoyed the action scenes, I'm trying my hardest to make them seem interesting.

Crystalize Moonnie: The power Kagome wields isn't really psychic, but people may think it is at first. I would answer your comment more, but I don't want to give everything away in the reply section. xD Let me just say that I had similar ideas to what you wrote. And my finals went OK. :P I hope your finals went well. :)

Uchiha Salad: That's what I was thinking too. Since Saitama is OP, I was hoping people wouldn't mind if I made Kagome OP, and it seems people don't mind it, so that's good.

YamiKeitsuki822: I think giving Saitama hair is beyond Kagome's power. Haha xD But really, I don't want to do that in this fic because I enjoy Saitama's egg look. :P

finnjake: I actually had plans for her to meet new people by herself, but it seems you were able to beat me on figuring that out. :P

CK: I agree, Kagome's powers are extremely useful, I sort of wish I had them myself. The Jewel gave her new abilities, but at the same time boosting her old ones. I don't want to reveal too much about them, so I can't answer some of your questions. Also, thank you for being such a great reader and reviewer. :)

Special thanks to these reviewers for their lovely reviews:

Summary: She thought the only way to save everyone from the Jewel was to not make the final wish, and instead, consume it into her body so that she could remain the protector of it forever. But by consuming its limitless power, the Jewel turns her into a monster that controls her and makes her kill the innocent and destroy the world. Now in order to save everyone from what she had become, she must seek out the one person who has the power to kill her—Saitama.

"Talking"

'Thoughts'

Chapter Four: Meeting New People

~Almost a Week Later~

Kagome woke up to the familiar feeling of being crushed again, but this time she didn't freak out. She looked to her side and saw a familiar bald head, which caused her to let out a tired sigh instead of a surprised shout. 'It seems this is becoming a habit for him...' she thought as she looked up at the white ceiling and continued to lie there.

Kagome heard the door to the living/bedroom open and knew it was Genos who had walked in. "Genos, would you mind helping me up by moving him off me?" she asked the cyborg.

Genos walked to where his two apartment-mates were sleeping and helped the girl move his sensei off of her. "It seems sensei is doing this more often," he commented. "Are you sure you don't want to buy another futon so you don't have to share with him anymore?" Genos helped move Saitama to the side so that Kagome could slide out from underneath him.

Once Saitama was off of her, Kagome took the chance to stand up and stretch, while Genos gently put his sensei back on the futon and neatly put the blanket over him, making sure his sensei was nice and comfortable. "It's OK. I don't mind sharing, and plus, I don't think his living room is big enough for another futon anyway," Kagome replied as she watched the cyborg treat the bald man with such care. "Wow. You would make a wonderful wife, Genos," she said out loud without thinking.

Genos turned to her after he was done setting his sensei into his bed. "I am nothing like a wife. A wife is usually a female human with a significant other whom she is married to and care for."

"Well..." Kagome thought about the definition answer he just said. "I guess you're not wrong, but part of what you said you feel towards Saitama as well, don't you?" she asked. "And I wasn't talking about the literal definition anyway. I was just pointing out how caring and gentle you are with him."

Genos looked at her with a warm look in his eyes as he thought about the bald man. "I think Saitama-sensei is the most amazing person in the world, and it makes me feel horrible when others think he isn't." The two of them watched as Saitama continued to sleep peacefully, his breathing slow and even. "Before I had found sensei, all I had was Dr. Kuseno. Sensei was nice enough to take me in so I feel as if I should repay him for his kindness."

Kagome gave the cyborg a sad look. "You had no one growing up?" Now that Kagome thought about it, she didn't really know much about Genos at all. All she really knew was that he was a cyborg and Saitama's student.

Genos opened his mouth to tell her his backstory, but his sensei's words about keeping his story short made him close his mouth and think about it.

Kagome noticed his sudden pause. "What's wrong? You looked like you were about to say something?"

Genos looked at her. "I told sensei my story a long time ago, but he got upset at me for saying too much and taking too long to explain everything. He told me I'm not very good at explaining stuff since I tend to add every detail," he told her.

Kagome sat down on the living room floor. "I don't mind listening. Tell me all about yourself," she replied eagerly. Kagome noticed how after she said that Genos' eyes widened with shock and then excitement, finally finding someone willing to listen.

After what seemed like over an hour later of Genos rambling on about his past, Kagome was wondering if it was a mistake to say she was willing to listen to his whole story. But like the good person she was, she tried to remain interested—which she was, his backstory was somewhat interesting—and not tired out from his long tale.

After Genos was done with his story, he seemed so content with sharing his story with her he was practically radiating happiness. Kagome gave him a soft smile. 'I guess, suffering through a long story is worth it if a friend is this happy about having someone listen to them.'

"Thank you for listening to me, Kagome," the cyborg thanked cheerfully.

"It's not a problem. I can't believe you became a cyborg at the age of fifteen. That's such a young age to suddenly lose your family and have your body turned into a cyborg." Kagome thought back to when she was fifteen. 'That was also the age I fell down the well into the Feudal Era. It seems fifteen is a popular year for crazy things to happen to people.'

Since he was done with his story, Genos picked up a bucket with some rags and bottles of cleaner. "Now, if you would please excuse me. Sensei wanted me to clean the bathroom and then the kitchen today," he said before leaving the room.

Once he left, Kagome chuckled quietly. "He's such a housewife," she said to herself.

Since Genos was off doing his own thing and Saitama was still sleeping, Kagome decided to finally change out of her pajamas and get ready for the day. There was another sale going on today and she didn't want to miss it. She originally wanted Saitama to come with her, but she decided against it since he looked so peaceful sleeping.

Kagome looked down at the sleeping man who was now snuggling into her pillow since she wasn't there anymore. Despite how strong he was and how he acted, Kagome couldn't help but find him adorable when he was sleeping.

She walked into the bathroom and grabbed her toothbrush and began to do her morning routine. 'I've only been here for about a week, but I feel like I've gotten into the rhythm of things,' she thought as she brushed her teeth. 'It's sort of weird how fast I've adapted to living with two strangers—well, not really strangers anymore—and one of them is a super strong bald man and the other is a cyborg.' She spit into the sink and grabbed a towel to wipe her mouth. 'Can my life get any weirder?' she thought as she grabbed her bag from the table in the living room.

Kagome peeked into the kitchen where Genos was. "I'm going out, Genos."

Genos turned to her from wiping the stove. "Where are you going?"

"There's another sale today and I was going to go pick up some groceries," she replied.

"Oh, please give me a second." Genos set the rag down on the counter and went out of the kitchen and into the living room where his bag was. He dug through his things until he found what he was looking for and went to where Kagome stood. He grabbed one of her hands to put a wad of cash into the palm of her hand. "Here's some money for the groceries," he said seriously, before going back to cleaning the stove.

Kagome looked at the huge amount of money he had handed her. "Uh... I think this is a bit too much, Genos. I'm just going to buy a few things."

Genos looked at her again. "It's all right, I have more."

"That's not really the problem here," she told him. Genos continued to look at her, not really understanding the issue.

Kagome sighed, realizing there was no way to get through to the cyborg's head, and put the money in her bag. 'There are so many things that Genos doesn't appear to understand yet, it seems.' Kagome decided to leave the conversation at that and head to the door. "I'm leaving," she called out before closing the door behind her and making her way down the stairs of the apartment complex.

Kagome walked down the street of the new city she was still trying to get used to. She looked at her list of food she wanted to buy. "I guess I don't really have to worry about the amount I can buy since Genos gave me so much money, but I would feel bad for using all of it," she muttered to herself. "I wonder why he would stay in such a small apartment if he could buy a mansion with the amount of money he has."

Kagome thought back to the past few days she had been in this world.

"Sensei got it for me."

"Sensei likes cabbage."

"Sensei…"

"Sensei…"

"Saitama-sensei…"

'Now I know why he stays,' Kagome thought with a smile. 'Instead of getting a pet dog or cat, it seems Saitama got a cyborg to follow him around instead. What an odd couple of friends they are.' She looked at the blue sky filled with fluffy clouds, her mind drifting to her previous life. 'But then again, my old team was a bit unusual themselves: a few demons, a monk, a demon slayer, and a miko…' She watched the sky as birds flew over her, casting a shadow over her eyes and blocking the sun for a split second. 'Thinking back sort of makes me a bit sad… I wonder how many people had survived the damage I had caused…'

Kagome was taken out of her thoughts when she saw a familiar bike-riding hero digging through an alley with his familiar bike parked nearby. "Hey, Mumen Rider!" she called out cheerfully, trying to ignore the painful nagging feeling in her heart from her previous thoughts.

The C-class hero turned to look her way. "Hello, Kagome." He waved to her as Kagome walked up to him.

"What are you up to today?" she asked him.

"Some boy lost his cat and put up a notice for a hero to help him find it, so I decided to take the job," he told her while continuing to look in the alley.

Kagome smiled at the hero. "That's very kind of you. I can't think of another hero who would be willing to do such a simple task for a little kid."

Mumen Rider turned to her and returned her smile. "So how are you adjusting to the city?" he asked. "You're from out of town, right?"

Kagome rubbed the back of her head. "You could say that. And it's going great. I've already met quite a few heroes; there's sure a lot of 'Tank-Top-whoever' heroes out there," she told him. 'Yeah, and a few of them tried to hit on me,' she thought with a mental sigh.

Mumen laughed at what she said. "That is true. Hero names are usually created depending on what the person is wearing or looks like, and it just so happened that a lot of people really like to wear tank tops when they fight."

Kagome shook her head. "If I ever became a hero, I definitely know what I'm not going to wear."

Mumen chuckled at her statement. "Will you actually consider becoming a hero, Kagome?" he asked her.

Kagome tapped a finger to her chin with thought. "I do like helping people, but I don't know if I would actually be good at being an official hero. I'm still a bit unsure about what I could do," she told him. 'And I have no idea what extent my new powers can reach. What if I lose control and hurt someone?' The thought of dying people and their screams frightened her. She's already heard it before, and ever since then, it continues to haunt her mind.

Mumen turned back to the alley and decided to continue to move empty boxes in the alley to see if the cat was underneath them. "I don't think it matters if you think you can't be an official hero or not, if you like helping people, then why not give it a shot? I mean, I'm definitely not the strongest hero out there—not even close—but I can at least do this much for someone in need." Kagome watched him continue to look for the cat. "They don't expect much from me since I'm just a C-class hero, but that won't stop me from trying."

"You're right. You aren't the strongest." He stopped what he was doing after she said that, her words sending a painful feeling through his heart. "You aren't the fastest. You don't have any special skills. You're just a normal human." Mumen couldn't bring himself to look at her, everything she was saying was true, but he didn't think she would think the same as everyone else. It sort of hurt him to think she was like all the others who looked down on him.

"But," she continued and walked behind him to put a hand on his shoulder, causing him to look at her. "You're the hero with the biggest heart I've ever seen. No one is willing to help people like you are," she told him with a smile.

Mumen was shocked at the change in her words. "Kagome…" He turned to her and grabbed her hand from his shoulder and held it delicately in his, a warm feeling flowing into him wherever they touched.

She put her other hand on his chest. "I can sense the soul of any living thing and I have to say, you're soul is the purest I have seen in this world," she confessed. "Strength doesn't always have to be the physical kind. Sometimes the strongest people are weak because their hearts are weak, but you're heart isn't like that at all." She smiled at him.

Mumen smiled down at her. "Thank you, Kagome. That's the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me." He squeezed her hand tenderly in his.

"You deserve every praise you get," she told him. Kagome took her hand off his chest and looked at her watch. "Oh, no! I'm going to be late to the sale." She suddenly turns around and began jogging out of the alley. She quickly looks back at Mumen Rider. "I'm sorry, Mumen, but I have a sale to get to. It was nice talking to you!" she yelled back and waved goodbye to him.

Mumen waved at her until she disappeared from the alley. "Kagome is such a nice girl," he said to himself as he went to grab his bike. 'She seems too good to be with someone like me.' He kicks the stand from his bike and swings his leg over to sit himself on the bike. 'Plus, she probably already has someone in her life," he thought as he began pedaling away.

Saitama stirred in his sleep before slowly sitting up and wiping the sleep from his eyes. He looked around and noticed a certain girl was not around. He covered his mouth with his hand as he yawned into it. "Where's Kagome?" he asked.

Genos walked into the room. "She went out to another sale."

"Oh." Saitama gets up and stretches.

"By the way, sensei, when was the last time you defeated a monster," Genos asked him as he looked at his flip phone, reading the hero website.

Saitama looked off into the distance, thinking about the past events. "There was a harpy-monster about a week ago I defeated."

Genos kept scrolling through his phone. "Exactly how many days was it, sensei?"

Saitama crossed his arms and tilted his head to the side in thought. "Hm...I think six days ago."

Genos takes his eyes off his phone to look at his sensei. "Sensei…"

Saitama looks at him. "Hm?"

"It says on the Hero website that for every C-class hero, they have to meet a quota of at least one monster defeated every week to remain registered a hero. If the hero isn't able to fulfill this quota then their registration will be taken from him or her," Genos explained.

Saitama stared at him with disbelief on his face. "Eh. Really?" Genos gave him a blank stare, indicating he was indeed serious about everything he just said. "What am I wasting time here, then?" Saitama yelled as he began quickly changing out of his pajamas and into his hero suit. "If I only have a week, that means today is my last day to meet the quota!" Saitama pulled his gloves onto his hands and put his boots on. "What am I doing here sleeping, when I should be searching for enemies?"

After his whole outfit was put on, he reached for the doorknob of his apartment when Genos suddenly asked him what he could teach him. Saitama turned to the cyborg and started to freak out because he couldn't really teach him anything, so while looking at his manga cover and remembering the contents of the story, he decided to make up some bullshit-training goal for Genos, who thankfully didn't catch on that Saitama was pulling everything from his ass.

Once the cyborg was distracted with his new goal given to him by his sensei, Saitama was finally able to leave his apartment. When Saitama got to the street, he looked down one end and began running at least eighty miles per hour in that direction, causing pedestrians to hold on to their clothes or items so that they didn't suddenly fly off.

Wherever Saitama ran, he looked in every direction to see if he could find a person in need of help or a monster to fight. After hours of running, he found nothing. The city was completely peaceful at the moment.

While he was running, he didn't notice that he had passed a certain Asian girl carrying bags of groceries. The gust he had created made her hair and shirt fly in the direction he went. Kagome brushed her hair from her face with one of her free hands. "Was that Saitama?" she asked herself. She tried to focus her eyes on the disappearing figure and saw the light reflect off a very round and bald head. "Yup, that's definitely Saitama," Kagome said to herself with a smile. After securing the food in the bags, Kagome decided to follow the running figure. "I wonder where he's going?"

Saitama hunched over with exhaustion as he was out of breath from running for a few hours straight. "Why is—the city safe—on a day I need to—meet my quota?" he asked no one in between his breaths.

After he caught his breath, he stood up to prepare to run again when a kunai was suddenly thrown at his head. Saitama easily turned his head and caught it in between his fingers without being fazed by the sudden attack. "Huh?" he looks toward the direction where the kunai had came from and saw a somewhat familiar person. "Hey! You're that guy… What was your name again?" Saitama put a held his chin with thought. "'Seed-on-the-Ground…'? No, wait, 'Lost-and-Found…'?" Saitama suddenly remembered and pointed at the ninja. "I remember now! Your name is 'Jack-o'-Lantern Panic!" he proclaimed with excitement.

Sonic got annoyed. "It's Speed-o'-Sound Sonic," he angrily stated.

Saitama rubbed his head with confusion. 'Was that really what it was?' he thought. 'I had no idea.'

Sonic gazed intensely at the bald hero. "I've finally found you, Saitama. Today is the day we—"

"Sorry, but I'm busy today." Saitama began walking away. "Maybe another time."

'What?' A dark look came over Sonic's face. 'How dare he ignore me!' He pulls out the sword from the sheath on his hip. "You can't run from me, Saitama!" With lighting speed, the ninja appeared next to the bald man and swung at his head, but before he knew it his sword shattered into a thousand pieces.

'Huh?' Sonic blinked. 'His head should've been sliced off, but instead, my sword somehow broke. What caused it to shatter?' he thought. Saitama had bit into the sword with his teeth so quickly that Sonic did not register what had just happened to his sword. The action of the bald man was even too quick for the world's fastest ninja.

Sonic jumped several feet away from Saitama and put his broken sword back into the sheath. He continued to watch Saitama who had his back to the ninja. "What did I just say?" the bald man spoke out. "I'm busy today." He glared at the ninja. "Plus, I'm pissed right now, so anyone who gets in my way…" His glare intensifies. "Will get punched."

A shiver ran down Sonic's spine. He didn't know why, but that one simple phrase made him scared for his life. The mild attack of a fist has never seemed so terrifying before, but something told Sonic that he hasn't even felt the true extent of Saitama's punches.

"That's him!" an unfamiliar girl's voice rang out. "That man is very dangerous. Please stop him."

The two men turned to a teenage girl pointing in their direction with a large man wearing a weird tiger-striped tank-top next to her.

The tank-top man looked at the troublemaker the girl had notified him about. "So you're the offender," he said in a booming voice. "Well, the hero Tank-Top Tiger is here to stop you from terrorizing the citizens any longer!" he stated while flexing both of his arms and showing the crowd his large muscles.

Saitama looked at the weirdly dressed man. "Hero?" He turned back to the ninja with a goofy smile on his face. "Heh, Sonic, they think you're some sort of criminal. Ha ha," he laughed at the thought. "Maybe getting tossed in a cell will cool off your hot—"

A callused hand smacked itself on his head. "She meant you, cue ball," the Tank-Topped hero stated.

A shocked look went over Saitama's face. "Huh? Why me?"

The woman gripped her bag with a bit of fear but mostly announce. "That bald man has been running around town with a scary expression on his face, it made me think he was out to harm someone. I was hoping a hero could stop him before anything bad could happen," she said out loud, loud enough for everyone on the street to hear her and stop to see the commotion.

Saitama couldn't believe it. He was running around, hoping he could help someone or find a monster to defeat, but instead, he's labeled at a villain. He jumped and turned toward the other hero. "But I'm a hero too! I wasn't doing anything wrong, I was just trying to find something to do."

Tank-Top Tiger stared at the bald man. "I've never heard of a hero like you."

"I just started!" Saitama shouted at him. "It hasn't even been a week since I became a hero!"

"Hero or not, you've been causing problems for everyone, and as a hero I can't let you continue to terrorize the citizens. If you were truly a hero, you wouldn't be going around freighting people." Tank-Top Tiger crossed his arms as he continued to lecture Saitama while Sonic looked completely bored by the conversation. "If you continue this behavior, you're going to ruin other heroes' reputation.

A man in the crowd pointed to the tank-top hero. "Hey isn't that Tank-Top Tiger?" he asked his friend next to him.

"Oh yeah! It is Tank-Top Tiger!" another man excited said. The crowd quickly began to increase in volume as more people joined in the excitement of seeing a famous hero in their presence.

Sonic looked at the elation in everyone's faces around him. 'So this guy is a well-known hero around here. I wonder how strong the guy actually is.' Sonic watched as the hero began to become pretty smug at the attention he was getting.

Tank-Top Tiger looked around with a smug smile. "It seems even C class heroes get recognition when they're in the top 10." He slightly bent down to be closer to Saitama's height. "So what do you think, new guy? Wanna get a little wild here and make me look good?" he smugly asked.

Sonic narrowed his eyes at his words. No matter how strong this guy may be, his fight was with Saitama and this Tiger guy was really getting in the way of his fight. Sonic reached behind him to grab a few explosive shurikens to throw at the large famous hero. 'If he survives this, then I may consider fighting him after I'm done with Saitama,' Sonic thought.

Sonic lift the shurikens up and was about to throw when another female voice, a much nicer sounding one than the one from before rang out. "Saitama?" the woman asked while trying to get through the crowd of people to the center, where the two heroes and ninja stood.

The three of them watched as a beautiful girl with long black hair stumbled into the circle of people. Once she saw the man she had called, she gave him a smile. "I knew it was you!"

Saitama looked at the girl a bit surprised at why she was there. "Kagome? What are you doing here?"

Kagome ran up to the bald man with her bags of food. "I went to a few sales today and got some great deals!" She pulled out a bag of leaks. "I saved so much today!" she said excitedly. Saitama dug through one of the bags and brought out his favorite bag of chips.

"These are the chips I've been trying to find, but the stores are always out of them," Saitama stated, completely forgetting about the two guys who had challenged him to a duel. Kagome continued to show the man what she had, also oblivious to the other men around.

Tank-Top Tiger was getting annoyed from being ignored. "Miss, if you would so kindly leave. There is business that I was requested to take care of," he said as he put a hand on her shoulder from behind her since she currently had her back to him. With a little force, he pulled her shoulder towards him so that he could get a better look at her. When he was finally able to see her face, his eyes opened wide with shock. "You!"

Kagome's eyes also widened with mild surprise. "Oh, it's you." Tiger got excited that the pretty girl he had tried to hit on before actually remembered him. "Um…" She rubbed the back of her neck. "What was your name again?" she asked, innocently, completely unaware that she had just torn the hero's heart into two. Saitama struggled to hold back a laugh as the "famous" hero was being easily rejected by Kagome.

Sonic couldn't take this conversation anymore. He didn't really feel like getting a woman involved in his battle today, but he was getting impatient. With a swift flick of his wrist, he easily sent the three shurikens at the Tiger hero, not even caring if the woman got in the blast. He watched with a smirk as his ninja stars flew at incredible speeds toward the two figures.

Kagome's eyes narrowed when she felt something coming up quickly behind her. She focused her powers causing her eyes to glow a bit again and made the shurikens stop in their tracks in the air. Kagome turned to the ninja. "Now that wasn't very nice," Kagome notified the shocked ninja behind her. She turned toward him as she made his shurikens disappear along with the glow to her eyes.

Kagome put her hands on her hips as she faced the ninja. "It's not polite to interrupt a conversation with your little toys," she told him, nonchalantly.

Sonic's eyes were wide with shock. 'This girl was able to stop my explosive shurikens? Who is she?" A wide, sinister smile spread across his face. 'It seems I've found another worthy opponent to defeat.'

Red: I'm sorry for ending it here, but this chapter was getting a bit long. :P And in order to get this chapter out sooner for you guys (since I've already delayed it by quite a bit), I decided to not continue the fight.

As always, please let me know what you thought about this chapter in the reviews! If you guys ask me questions, I will try my best to answer them the best that I can since I have some parts of this story thought out but most of it is being made up as I go.
