ONE'S JUSTICE

CHAPTER FIVE

Chapter 5: Good Times

Flashback…

"Hey guys, what's up?" He greeted loudly as he walked into the 1A dorms with a grin. The sound of rushing footsteps greeted him that got louder every second.

"Kenny. You're here." Mina greeted excitedly as a few of her classmates came up behind her. "I haven't seen you in so long."

"It's only been a few days." Ken deadpanned.

"That's still too long." Mina whined as she got ready to jump him but stopped herself, blinking in confusion as she stared at the older boy.

A look that was mirrored by her classmates.

Izuki sighed as she walked into the dorms from behind him.

"Hm? Something on my face?"

"Is that kid?" Kaminari asked pointing at the little snow angel that was wrapped around the second year's arms to his chest. "Did you kidnap a kid?"

Ken bulked at the question.

Seriously.

"What kind of question is that?" Ken asked tightening his hold on Eri. "Do I look like some kidnapper to you?"

"I don't know." Jiro said with a shrug

"Eh?!" Ken exclaimed.

"It does look sus." She added earning a few nods.

"Oh come on!" He exclaimed raising the girl up. "I didn't do such a thing, who would want to kidnap someone as precious as this."

Eri giggled.

"Besides, it is not kidnapping if the good guys do it, right?"

Eri nodded making the logic even more sound, at least to him.

Izuki only shook her head with a sigh.

'Really?'


"Wow…" Eri exclaimed, staring at the glowing ball of energy with amazement and awe.

"Pretty cool right?" Ken grinned at the expression on her face. It was really cute. "Wanna play with it?"

The two were currently at an open field in the school. They were hanging around while the others were busy with hero training.

"Can I?" Eri asked.

"Sure." He said gesturing for her to take the ball off his hands. Eri quickly put out both her arms to take the ball of energy and too her surprise, it started floating above her palms. "Ah…"

"See?"

"How did you do it?" She asked as she juggled the ball around. Ken smiled at her. "Quite easy really, I'll show you how later."

"Really?"

"Yup."

"Yay."


"Um…"

"Kota this is Eri, Eri this is Kota. You're both around the same age so I hope you can be good friends." Izuki finished introducing the two kids, beside her were Ken and Mandalay as they watched the two kids try and interact with each other.

"Hi." ERI greeted with a small smile. Spending a lot of time with her favorite person, Ken, had helped with her confidence so she was not as shy as before when meeting new people.

"U-uh…h-hi…" Kota muttered his greeting looking away from her shyly.

Both Izuki and Mandalay giggled at the sight while Ken just cackled out.

"Hey Eri, looks like someone has a crush on you."

"W-what?" Kota exclaimed wildly with a blush as he glared at the older boy who just smirked right back at him. Eri was just staring at them confused.

"What's a crush?"


She couldn't sleep.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't go back to sleep.

Walking out of her room, she walked slowly and quietly passed the other dorm rooms not wanting to wake anyone up. Arriving at her destination, she quietly opened the door and was met with light snoring from the sole occupant of the room.

"Mr. Ken?" She called out in a hush tone as she shook the boy. A few moments later and he woke up with a weak groan.

"Eri?" He muttered still sleepy. "What's up?" Even though he was sleepy, he noticed that she was shaking slightly and looked afraid.

"C-can I sleep with you?"

"Dis you have a nightmare?"

Eri nodded weakly.

Ken sighed as he raised the sheets and gestured for her to join him on the bed. Smiling brightly, she quickly got herself comfortable on the bed, feeling even better when he wrapped an arm around her.

"Night Eri." He said before shutting his eyes, heading back to dream land.

It didn't take long for her to follow him. She slept rather well that night.


"Haha!" He laughed loudly as he continued to watch the movie with Eri on his lap.

He had decided to watch some comedy movie with Eri after she was done practicing her quirk with Aizawa. The movie was quite stupid but that's what made it funny.

"That guy is silly." ERI said with a small laugh.

"I know right." He grinned before laughing again. "Holy shit! I didn't see that coming."

"Excuse me?"

He turned to face Izuki who had walked into the dorms back from class. "Did you just use a curse word in front Eri?" She said with a disapproving stare.

Uh oh…

"What is shit?" ERI asked innocently as she looked up and Ken and then at Izuki.

Izuki glared at him.

'Welp I'm dead…'


"OMG! You look so cute Eri!" Mina and Momo squealed out beaming at the younger girl who had trying on a new set of clothes.

"R-really?" She asked.

"Mhm. It really suits you." Jirou added with a smirk.

"You look pretty nice in it." Izuki added with Tsu and Uraraka nodding in agreement. Eri, happy for the compliments then turned towards the only male with them.

"Mr. Ken?"

"Huh?"

Said male was sulking at one corner muttering something about girls, shopping and stupid malls.

"Quit sulking will ya?" Jirou said hitting him on the head.

"You girls pretty much dragged me here. I had better things to do you know."

"Like what?" Uraraka asked.

"Uh…" He had no answer to that. The smirks on the faces of the girls caused him to grumble lowly to himself again.

"You look pretty nice in it." Izuki added with Tsu and Uraraka nodding in agreement. Eri, happy for the compliments then turned towards the only male with them.

"Mr. Ken?"

"Now time to get some snacks. Ken's paying." Mina all but declared with a grin.

"Oi?! I never said that. Besides Momo has way more money than me. Ask her."

"You're not really gonna make a girl pay for her meal now would you?" Momo asked in a sweet tone while the others snickered.

"Oh for the love of…"


"You okay Eri? You seem lost there?" Ken asked as he finished his come of ice cream looking at the girl that sat beside him on a park bench.

The two had gone to get some ice cream after ERI had gotten some quirk training done.

"I…do you t-think I can really help Mr. Mirio?" She asked timidly as she looked at her own ice cream.

"What brought this up?" He asked.

"I've been trying for a while to be as good as using my quirk as you are but I haven't done much." She answered. "Because of me he lost his quirk and you guys went through so much to help me. I just want to help too."

"And you will." He patted her head. "I know you will Eri. We all do. Just don't push yourself to hard just take your time. No rush."

"Okay."

"Now who wants candy apples."

"Me."

Her ice cream went flying and sprawled on the ground as she answered with a big smile.


She woke up and the first thing she noticed was that the TV was switched off. Another thing she noticed was that she was snuggled up between two people.

Looking up she saw both Ken and Izuki sleeping peacefully, Izuki's head resting on his shoulder while Ken just snores lightly, head rested on the couch.

They were wrapped in a blanket.

The last thing she remembered was watching a movie with her two favorite people before dozing off.

She didn't make any movements as she enjoyed how close they were. Going back peaceful slumber.

Flashback Over…

Eri awoke with a yawn as she stared back at ceiling above her. She sighed as she sat up silently cursing the fact that it was time to wake up. Something she picked up from a certain vigilante.

She was having nice dreams, flashbacks to when things were normal, nice and happy. When he was here with her.

A frown formed on her face thinking back to the last time she saw him.

Flashback…

"Eri?" Izuki called out in surprise having noticed the girl silently watching her and Ken having an argument. "What are you doing here? I thought you went to bed?"

The girl seemed hesitant to walk over having just witnessed something she so alien to her. She never thought Ken and Izuki having a disagreement was possible.

The tense atmosphere didn't help her.

She looked at Ken who wasn't looking at her but at the entrance doors of the dorms. He had an expression on his face that slightly scared her.

He seemed mad.

She hadn't seen him in a few days and when she does she is met with an angry expression. She had only seen him angry once and that was back when they rescued her from the bad guy Overhaul.

"M-mr. Ken? I…"

"Go back to bed ERI." He cut her off with a cold tone as he walked passed both girls with him.

"H-huh? B-but…you…"

"Must I repeat myself?" He asked her with an annoyed tone as he looked at her coldly. "It's late, go back to bed. I'm not in the mood to deal with you right now."

Her eyes widened at the tone he used and the statement. It caught her off guard. Why was he talking to her like that? Did something bad happen? Did she do something wrong?

"That was uncalled for Ken." Izuki said she glared at the older boy. "I get you're angry, but…"

"Oh I'm beyond angry." Ken said glaring back at her much to Eri's shock. "With all of you."

"Even Eri?" She asked causing said girl to look at him wanting to hear the answer.

Ken didn't say anything but continued to glare before sighing. "Whatever. I need to hit something." He said walking away. "Don't follow me."

He said leaving the dorms, not sparing her a single glance as he did. She wanted to say something but words died in her throat. All she could do was look down as tears fell from her eyes.

Izuki cursed silently to herself before kneeling down to her level, trying her best to calm the almost sobbing girl down.

Flashback Over…

She wished things could go back to normal. With a sigh stood up, getting ready for the day ahead.

Shibuya, Japan. Earlier…

Fuck.

This wasn't good.

How the hell had they been found out. This was supposed to be a secure place after all.

All these thoughts ran through Compress' head as he was being choked alive by the man in front of him. The rest of the league were all knocked out with brutal injuries, whips of energy wrapped around them to prevent them from moving whenever they awoke from dreamland.

It wasn't even a battle or a fight.

It was just a brutal beatdown.

They were like lvl 1 characters going up against the final boss. They stood no chance.

Huh, since when did he start thinking like Shigaraki.

"Ack." He was cut off from his thinking as the pressure around his throat increased. He, like the others was also severely wounded and was barely conscious.

"Where's your boss?" Ken asked with a growl glaring at him with bright glowing blue eyes that seemed to stare into his soul. "Don't make me ask again."

"L-like I-I'll talk." He managed to say as he struggled for breath glaring at the vigilante through his mask. "D-do you think I-I'll just betray him like that?"

"Fair point." Ken said. "Maybe I'll just torture it out of you then." His words caused the villain to pale in fear. A few years ago he would have scoffed at the thought of this man torturing anyone, he was a hero in training after all.

But this man in front of him was no hero.

He was something else entirely.

The oppressive feeling he got from the vigilante was enough to make him almost faint or black out from fear and shock.

"Now where should I…"

"My, my, you've certainly become quite the monster haven't you." A new voice said as a portal opened up in the room and a person walked out.

Ken was confused at who that was at first but the familiar voice and energy signature quickly cleared that confusion.

"All For One." He said throwing Compress away while turning to face the man. "Almost didn't recognize you. You look…different."

AFO chuckled. "You noticed?" He said with a smirk on his face, eyes filled with amusement. "I'm back at my peak now."

Purple portals appeared below the knocked out villains and the last thing compressed saw was Ken charging at the man.

Present…

"Sorry, I couldn't let you kill them. My dear Tomura still has some use for them." AFO stated as he floated above Ken looking down at the vigilante who was glaring up at him.

"Where is he?" He asked.

"Oh. Someone seems to be on a rush. Am I not worth your time?" AFO asked with a grin that annoyed the former hero trainee to no end. "Or are you just desperate to reunite with family again?"

"Shut your mouth." He hissed loudly. "He isn't family to me."

"Denying it won't change it." AFO said. "It doesn't matter now. Killing you will sure anger and demoralize that Midoriya girl and make stealing OFA so much easier."

"Like as if you could." Ken said preparing himself for the battle that was coming.

"Hmm. We'll see." AFO said before pointing him palm at Ken. "Let's begin shall we."

BOOM!!!


That's it for this chapter. I hope you enjoyed it. Anyway, for those wonering, I'll explain how they are related (Ken and Shigaraki.) in the coming chapters.

KEN Vs. AFO next chapter.
