Chapter 4:Name

Ejiro Kirishima was having a dilemma. Early that day he tried to help out one of his classmates from some bullies only to be easily beaten and his "friends" were of no help as they only pointed out unoriginal he was and how weak his quirk was.

"How can I be a hero if my spirit breaks so easily?" he said feeling powerless to save anyone. He was currently walking home from school when he noticed one of the TVs in a store showing news of the mysterious child swordsman in green with Hanafuda earrings. He was helping out pro hero Lightning Max with a villain attack. The news reporter ended reminding everyone that he was committing a crime for doing vigilante work.

'Why can't I be more like him. He looks to be about my age and he doesn't look like he's afraid of anything. I wonder if he'll tell me how he does it.' he thought as he began to walk away from the store.

He continued down the road a bit before he heard a scream. He looked to see the scream came from two girls from his school with a giant of a man standing before them. He was well over three stories tall, wearing a massive cloak over his massive body. "Where is the Spring Hero office." the two girls were way too scared to even respond all they could do was cower. "Are you not going to tell me." He said as his hand began to crush the building above the girls."

'There's no police or hero around to do anything.' Thought Kirishima. 'Come on' he told himself 'move' but he was unable to he was unable to move past his own fears. He stood there wanting to move and be a hero that protected people.

Mina dashed in front of the giant in defense of the girls. "IT's two blocks down turn right and across the street."

"Thankyou" Said the Giant before he suddenly tensed crushing the wall causing rubble to fall.

Kirishima could only look on in horror as he saw his classmates were crushed. "MMMIIINAAA"

"Oh you know these girls." said a voice Kirishima turned his head to see guy from the tv the swordsman in green. Izuku Midoriya. "Would you mind looking after them." past him was Mina and their classmates. Perfectly safe. "Thanks."

"Huh, wait." Krishima didn't finish as he noticed that the giant was now staring in their direction. In particularly Izuku. Kirishima knew this was about to get real.

As Izuku began walking towards the giant, the giant began to shake, but not out of excitement. No he was scared the mountain of a man was scared of someone who was barely a tenth of his size. "Demon Slayer."

"Demon Slayer?" repeated Kirishima confused on what the giant meant.

"So you know who I am." Said Izuku as he stared down the giant with one hand on his sheath with his thumb on the hilt pushing his sword out just enough to see the blade. "Who are you, who do you work for?"

The giant couldn't answer as memories flooded his head. Memories that weren't his but scared him nonetheless. To him the boy in front of him was his longest and most dangerous enemy that has killed him time and time again. He felt true fear of countless before him as they faced their death at the hands of numerous swordsmen.

The giant then did something that none of the onlookers thought he would do. He ran. He ran down the street and turned down the first street. Izuku gave chase but stopped in front of the street the giant turned.

"Hey wait up." said Kirishima as he ran after them. "Demon Slayer wait." he yelled but as he turned the corner all he saw was Izuku standing in the street. "Hey Demon Slayer where did the big guy go?"

Izuku closed his eyes and sniffed the air. "It seems someone with a teleportation quirk grabbed him."

"A teleporter wait how do you know that?"

"It maybe hard for you to notice but if you look on the ground you can see that all the dirt and pebbles make a perfect circle meaning that a portal took it somewhere else." he said as he pointed to the ground.

It was hard but Kirishima could see a perfect circle of dirt. "Whao I would have never noticed that."

"Not many would but another big give away is the smell."

"The smell?" he sniffed the air and smelled something. "Alcohol I smell alcohol and definitely the strong kind."

"Exactly, there isn't a single bar nearby yet you can clear smell something like the inside of a bar."

Kirishima was impressed so was the crowd that was forming around them. Many of them wanting to know more about the newly named Demon Slayer. Though for him personally this was his chance to speak to him maybe gain something that can help him be a hero. "Wait Demon Slayer I got a question."

Izuku was about to leave but stopped and gave the boy in front of him an interesting look. "Okay what's your question?"

"How? How do you do it. Aren't you scared? Your not even in highschool and your taking guys on like a pro?"

Izuku tilted his head at his question and thought for a second before walking up to kirishima. "Do you want to be a hero?"

Kirishima a little unsure of himself. "Yes"

Izuku remembered something the Yushiro-sensei told him. 'Wisdom can come from everyone and from everywhere even yourself. You or whoever you're divulging the information to just has to be able to accept the wisdom your giving.' Then he remembered how it started with him.

"Do you want to go for a run?"

"Huh' that was the last thing he thought he was going to be asked. He was skeptic. "Sure"

Izuku gave a sunny smile before grabbing his shoulder and enveloping them in mist. When it finally cleared both boys were gone.

~o~

It was the hardest run of Kirishima's life but he pushed through. He chased Demon Slayer through the streets and back alleys. After awhile Kirishima was about to call it when Demon Slayer finally started to teach him something.

"Alternate the hardness on your legs." Kirishima was breathing too hard to respond but the confusion on his face was enough for Demon Slayer to get the question. "When I grabbed your shoulder you harden a little bit. Now alternate your hardness and absorb the shock from your legs."

Krisihima did as he said it was tricky at first but soon he got the hang of it and running became easier and so did his breathing. "Whao I can run." he said as he felt the wind as he ran. Though he stopped when he notice Demon Slayer stopping.

"Hand me your bag and your shoes."

"My shoes?"

"Harden the soles of your feet should give you way better traction then your shoes will."

After Kirishima got the idea he quickly took his shoes off and handed them to Demon Slayer. When they continued running Kirishima easily increased his speed. "I've never thought of this before." He yelled as he picked up speed.

Izuku grinned. 'This guy is a quick study' Alright now I want you to follow me, but I am going to begin some quick turns so harden different parts of your legs to turn easier so you don't lose speed or momentum." he said before speed through the alleyways of the city. Taking every quick turn he could make. Kirishima almost crashed twice but began to understand what izuku was talking about. By hardening certain parts of his body and keeping other loose he was able to turn easier and keep his momentum going. "Good your getting the hang of it. You got hardening quirk it does give you a small strength boost but your big hits will come from increasing your speed like a battering ram." Izuku turned down a long alleyway with a building at the end. "Okay were switching it up were going straight."

"Were going straight through the building." said Kirishima shocked. He didn't want to pay for property damage.

Izuku laughed "Just because your quirk seems straight doesn't mean it is nor should you be were climbing the building so everything you've done with your legs your going to do with your hands as well. Ready GO" he said as he dashed forward and went up the building.

Kirishima had come this far and wasn't going to back down. He made a quick decision on which parts of his hands to harden and rushed forward. He jumped and dug his hands into the wall as he tried to use as much of his speed as possible and climbed the side of the building. Even though he was tired but when he got the rhythm down he practically flew up the building. In fact he did he moved so fast his momentum carried him above the roof.

Lucky Izuku was their to catch him. "So what did you think of your first run." he said as he put him down.

"Thank" huff "you" Huff. said Kirishima before inhaling a lot of air. "I never thought I could climb a building like that or well really anything you just showed me. I'm not strong like you I could never do anything like this."

Izuku slapped kirishima's back more than hard enough to leave a good bruise. "Don't sell yourself just look at where your own hands and feet have brought you." He said as he pointed over to the other side of the roof.

Kirishima walked to the edge and say one of the most breathtaking views of the city he had ever seen. "This is incredible I've never seen the city like this before."

"The only way you can get a great view like this is if you get up here with your own two feet."

"But I'm only here because you brought me here."

"I guided you here i did not carry you i did not activate your quirk you did that and even without me you could do this again with your own strength."

Kirishima couldn't help but smile and blush a little at the compliment. "Yeah I guess I could do this again." though his smile quickly turned into a frown. "Though I couldn't do anything back their I was so scared I couldn't move. How can I be a hero if get so scared I can't even move?" He said as self doubt set in. "how do you do come your not scared."

"Are you kidding me I'm terrified."

"What, but you always rush in head first. You never hesitate."

"Do you remember seeing those girls almost getting crushed?"

"Yeah of course I do. It happened like an hour ago."

"Do you remember how you felt before you realized that they were safe." Kirishima knew that feeling. He had let them die. "Remember that feeling and make sure you never feel it again. The thing that scares me more than me dying or getting hurt is the thought that someone is going to get hurt because I didn't do anything. I don't want to regret anything."

As Kirishima listened to Izuku he couldn't help but feel like he heard that somewhere before. "Hey that sound like something Crimson Riot would say."

"Oh are you familiar with Crimson Riot?'

"Familiar. He's my all time favorite hero. He's so manly. He's a hero who doesn't back down and saves people and serves justice with a chivalrous spirit." said Kirishima enthusiastically.

"Well maybe you should rewatch some of his interviews their maybe something there that you missed." as he began to walk to the side of the roof. "The Fire escape is this way. You should try and see how much of your body you can harden at a time and for how long. Maybe do some training-"

"Wait hold it are you leaving?" asked Kirishima a little sad.

"Yep I still have a lot of things to do today and there is something I need to talk to my sensei about."

"Your sensei." Krishima couldn't help but wonder what kind of man he was. "Do you think I could meet him or if he would train me."

"I'm afraid not." immediately shooting down the request. "There are reasons why he can't train you, in fact the only reason he trained me is because his friend asked him to."

"Really what kind of hero was he?"

"Oh he wasn't a hero but he's been around a very long time and knows a lot. Actually a lot of my physical training was either done by his assistant or one of his friends he would call in. Like a guest lecture."

"So he's not some teacher who runs a school or anything huh" Izuku nodded dashing his hopes 'Man after seeing this guy in action i kinda wondered what his sensei could teach me.' "Ah man looks like I'm back to my own training."

"Speaking of your training. I think there are a few points you should focus on." Said Izuku as they began to make their way down the fire escape. "One you should stick to trying to increase your overall physical abilities. Two try and see what other moves you can do by hardening certain parts of your boy and what patterns yield what results. Three see how long you can maintain those patterns and how long you can maintain a full body harden state."

Kirishima quickly brought out his phone and began to type them down. "Okay I think I got it."

"Good, I'm no teacher but hopefully those ideas will help you become a hero." He said as he was about to say goodbye and leave.

"Wait i have two no three questions to ask before you leave."

"Okay, shoot."

"Why do you go around like this. Your pretty much doing vigilante work were you sick of waiting or something?"

"Huh oh no." said Izuku getting flustered scratching the back of his head. "I just can't really help myself. I don't know why but when I see people in danger my legs kind of just start moving on their own. I don't really mean to break the law or anything. I respect the laws and the heroes that enforce it. Mutter mutter mutter"

"Uh hey dude you okay. I think you left earth or something."

"Huh oh sorry Well i get flustered or think too hard I start to mumble. It's a habit I'm trying to break."

"Okay well next question."Kirishima had to make himself serious.. "Why don't you go home?" The question clearly caught Izuku off guard as his face began to fill with sadness and self disappointment. "I'm sorry for asking it but I felt that I had too. I've seen the news one day you just disappeared and then suddenly you just reappeared kicking ass and taking names. Your mom is on the news with a few interviews."

"I know I've seen them." Said Izuku as he gathered his thoughts. "I didn't want to go back as I was. I didn't want to stop my training and I didn't know what to tell her to keep her from stopping me or even how to tell her. "Izuku looked at his new friend in the eyes. Ready to lie. "That day I disappeared a man found me broken and beaten up. He knew I needed help and brought me to the man i would soon call sensei. One of my broken ribs punctured my lungs and needed medical attention. My sensei patched me up but I fell asleep for four days when I woke up and told them I had gotten into that state for being weak and unable to save somebody from a bully they wanted to help. The man who found me asked me to take a test. It was a tough mountain obstacle course. I passed and the man convinced my sensei to train me. That mountain showed me I could follow my dreams so when my sensei told me he could train me I jumped at the chance. Even agreed not to leave the mountain until I completed the first part of my training. You see I didn't have good control over my abilities and he was worried that if we left to soon I may be a danger to myself and others around me. I finished the first part within the first few months. To be honest I've been kind of avoiding going home. I know I should or at least call but everytime I try I freeze."

Kirishima digested everything he had just heard. "So nothing is stopping you from going home just you."

"Yep my sensi knows this and has given me a due date to go home before he drags me home."

Krisihima breathed a sigh of relief. "So your all good their then I guess the last question I got now is are you going to become a legit hero then?"

Izuku's sunny smile came back. "Of course that hasn't changed, I will become a hero no matter what. I will become a pillar of hope for all."

"Alright." as he raised his fist. "That's a goal I can get behind. I'll see you at the top Demon Slayer."

"Izuku Midoriya" as he bumped his fist.

"Eijiro Kirishima"

"Well then Eijiro Kirishima, keep up the hard work and I will see you at the top." said Izuku as he ran back to the mountain. Kirishima went home as well planning to go over everything he learned to day make a plan and watch an old video of Crimson Riot Izuku reminded him of, only to find reporters and police at his house. His night was only just beginning.

~o~

Izuku made it back to Mt. Saigiri as Tomo was finished putting Dinner on the table. "Oh Izuku welcome back."

"Hey Tomo do you know where sensei is, I need to speak with him."

"He's out back checking the little wisteria tree. He actually wants to talk to about that kid you kidnapped you didn't bring him here did you?

"What I didn't kidnap him. I was just trying to help him a little. He had some serious self confidence issues. He just needed someone to show him what he could do."

"That sounds familiar." she teased. Izuku could only look away in embarrassment. "Well you should go see him and good luck."

Just like Tomo said Izuku found Yushiro looking at the small wisteria tree in the back of the garden. Izuku bowed "Sensei I've returned."

"Izuku before we talk about anything else i need to ask did you tell that boy anything."

"No sensei I stuck with the lie we came up with."

"Good though I would like to hear about your day in detail."

"Yes sensei. Thought there is one part I need to tell you immediately." Izuku then told his sensei about his encounter with the giant. "He knew who I was and was scared. I've never seen this guy before and even I could tell he outmatched me. So why did he runaway?"

"Gigantomachia"

"Gigantomachia?"

"That is the name of the giant you meet today. He works for or I should say the man who created him was the man I warned you about. The man who reminds me most of him."

"All for One." Said Izuku remembering the stories he was told. The man who was more demon than man. A man who should be avoided at all cost. He had brought many heroes to their knees and killed at least ten times the amount.

"Indeed the reason that Gigantomachia was so scared of you is because All For One gave him more quirks enough to activate memories deep within them. Memories that don't belong to him."

"Memories?" said Izuku confused before horror dawned on his face at the realization. "What does that mean All For One knows about demons and about HIM."

"Izuku calm down. You see years ago All for One tried his best to learn everything there was to know about quirks sense his revolved around other quirks. He figured out a long time ago the truth about them."

"Wait you mean he knows about everything?"

"Not everything. He knows about the existence of demons and a little bit about the Demon Slayers and the history of both but not all of it. Years ago he tried to create a demon but the human physiology has changed to much. The quirk factor counters the demon blood to much so he failed but he learned that if he mixies to many quirks together or the right pattern of quirks he will get visions of the past so will anyone else who he has packed with quirks. It's why I warn you to avoid people with vision or memory quirks."

"Okay so what do we do?"

"For now nothing. We have no idea where he is or any of his associates. So don't worry too much for now. They have made several enemies, me included. They will be found eventually and will face justice just like he did so many years ago."

"Hey I don't mean to Interrupt" said Tomo coming outside. "But dinners ready. We better eat it while it's hot."

"We're on our way. Come Izuku. I think food will do us both some good."

"Right"

~o~

"Right, this doesn't look good" Said Detective Naomasa He has been reading the report and statement of Eijiro Kirishima. "The kid has been doing a lot of our work."

"Has the police gotten in any trouble?" asked Toshinori Yagi as he sipped some tea. They were currently at UA office going over all the information they had on the newly named Demon Slayer. They had brought the info to Nezu in hopes he might be able to shed some light on the situation.

"Thats something else that's bothered me." Said the detective pulling some info up on his computer. "We haven't gotten in trouble at all."

"Isn't that a good thing."

"I'm afraid your wrong All Might." Said Nezu. "When vigilante's start showing up the government is usually the first to get angry. Yet I haven't heard a single politician on the news talking about arresting Demon Slayer. This is quite odd."

"The principle is right." He said as he showed them his laptop. "These are all fromer vigilantes. The police had several orders to arrest each and every single one of them. Even the trio of vigilante's that saved captain celebrity had order to arrest on sight. But this kid hasn't got a single order from the government. The only orders we got are from the chief of police himself."

"So wait no one in the government has put anything out on this kid," said All Might shocked. He expected the government to be up in arms. "What about all the damages or laws he's broken."

"Nothing. If you watch any interviews all of them just deflect or don't answer the question. Well they answer but it just a politician answer that doesn't answer anything."

"Hhmm This is quite troubling." Said Nezu " If the government is going to such length to let this boy go and play hero than something must be going on. I've never heard of the government paying for the damages or reimbursement of a vigilante no matter how good they were."

"That's because they're not." Said a voice as the doors slammed open.

"Grand Torino" said All might not expected to see his former mentor. "What are you doing here."

"I called him here. I thought it would be a good idea to have him here aswell" said Nezu "Greetings Torino thank you for coming."

"No problem." said GT as he put several papers on the table. "I've been following this kid since he fought that sludge villain. I called in a few favors and I found something I just couldn't believe. Someone has been paying for this kid out of pocket."

"What but that can't be." said Nezu. "On my calculations alone the amount needed to cover all of these payments would require a small fortune"

"That would be if it was just the boys activities but several officials and construction companies have been paid off and to top it off every person involved in each incident whether they be villain or victim has had their hospital bills paid."

Grand Torino's statement left the other three in silence. Even principle Nezu had nothing to say.

"Principle Nezu sir. How much would something like that cost." asked All Might somewhat scared of the answer.

Nezu had to think a moment to figure it out. It was way too much for him to have the answer on the top of his head. "I can't make an accurate answer with this many variables but the amount of money needed, maybe around a national budget."

"WHAT YOU MEAN SOMEONE IS PAYING THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY IT TAKES TO RUN A COUNTRY FOR A KID." screamed all might as blood poured from his mouth.

"Well that makes it easy at least." Said Detective Naomasa wiping the sweat off his forehead. "We just need to check the top richest people in the country and see which one is missing a fortune."

"None of them are." Said GT getting their attention. "I found out about the government's lack of involvement in the first month for the past two I've been checking ever rich family every corporation, every government institution. Nothing. This money is coming from some private citizens with a bank account bigger than Japan."

"How is that possible?"

"It isn't" Said the principle "Or at least they couldn't have this amount legally. It would take several lifetimes for the average person to get that money maybe a whole lifetime for a rich CEO. Did you find where the trail leads."

"The trail ends with people who have been dead for over a hundred years. All the accounts that were used were even before I was born."

"So let me get this straight." Said the detective. "We got a very rich person supporting a kid with an impossible amount of money to legally pay all of this out of pocket using accounts that are over a hundred years old."

"The child in question has remarkable abilities. Who according to out files was born quirkless who now shows signs of several quirks and combat abilities that don't even compare to several pros." said Nezu "No one his age has ever shown such talent."

"But he's been using his powers for good." spoke All Might as he looked at the ground. "I mean he seems like a good kid."

Grand Torino almost smiled at his student. 'Still just a kid yourself Toshinori' "I'm not talking about the kid himself." He said "I will not deny the kid has done good. However we know next to nothing about the man who trained the boy. Who this mysterious sensei is."

"Villains have used kids before." said Naomasa

"According to his own mother he always wanted to be a hero" added Nezu

"I can only think of one man who has the power, money, influence and evil enough to manipulate a kid to do something like this. Let's face it this has All For One written all over it."

All Mights form began to enlarge as he changed into his Hero form. "Your right. I can't think of anyone else but evil demon."

~o~

"ACHOO"

"Sensei are you getting sick?"

"I'll go make you some soup, master."

"For the last time I don't get sick" yelled Yushiro

Chapter 5: The girl in the Box

Izuku wondered about some of his masters friends he just got done doing a small delivery. The man had a screw going through the side of his head. Izuku asked if it had something to do with his quirk and said his friend in america accidentally put it their.

Izuku was just happy that was going back to america his deliveries were just weird. Though he wondered about the girl he mentioned. Apparently Izuku reminded him of one of his students that uses a scythe.

Izuku was broken out of his thoughts as his phone buzzed. He checked the Id and say it was Tomo. "Oh hello Tomo-chan."

"Hey Izuku you get that delivery done."

"Yep"

"Well take your time coming back. Masters meeting with the scientists is going a little longer than expected. Apparently they really want him to be apart of some program on I Island, but they don't want to give out all the details."

"That will never workout well." Izuku knew how much his teacher hated working on a project if he had no idea what exactly its for.

"Anyway dinner gonna be late so if want to get snack on your way back go for it. Take a bit of a break, I saw the news nice job with the bear guy."

"Thanks will do. I'll see you later." as he said goodbye Izuku hung up. When he did his phone flashed the date. The date to reunite with his mother was just one week away.

Izuku was scared he felt terrible leaving his mother the way he did. He made his decision and he was going to have to live with it but none of the secrets or training he learned were a good enough excuse leaving his mother the way he did.

He knew she was doing okay. His teacher sent one of his cats(Who his mother named Chacha) to watch over her. The cat comforted her, made sure she got to work on time and also "accidentally" sits on her phone and dials Mitsuki's number whenever she's feeling down. Though it didn't make him feel any better.

He knew he was really the only one in her life. His father only called after he saved Bakugo the only thing his father has really done since he left was send more money to his mother. Though his mother stayed strong and from what the cat has informed us, she was preparing for his return. He stilled wondered how his sensei taught a cat how to use a phone or even type for that matter.

"Don't worry there will be more crying then there will be yelling."

Izuku froze as he turned his head to only find a very cute girl in a pink Hiyori right in front of his face. 'When did this girl get so close. I didn't hear her or sense her at all. Who is this girl.' thought Izuku as he got a closer look at her. 'Wait I know this girl.' "Are you Tanjiro's sister. Nezuko?"

She smiled as she looked at Izuku fondly. "You really are like my brother." she then turned and began to walk down the street. "Come, there is someone in need of you."

Izuku didn't hesitate and began to follow her down the street. Ignoring the onlookers and fans. 'I wonder can they see her or is it just me?' As they turned down into an alleyway. As they delveled deep Izuku was wondering who she had asked him to help.

She then stopped. Izuku looked around and couldn't see anyone in sight. He was about to ask when she kneeled down to a cardboard box and slowly opened it. Izuku was surprised to see a small girl with white hair red eyes and a small horn on her forehead, but what got his attention was the rags she was wearing and the bandages on her arms and legs. 'Whatever monster did this will know my blade.'

"Don't worry little one. This man her is the hero that will help you." said Nezuko trying to reassure the girl. The girl stilled seemed frightened but her words eased her even if it was just a little. "This girl has been through a lot. I've helped her as much as I can with the time I have. Do you think you can take care of her from here."

Izuku gave the girl his brightest smile. "Don't worry I will protect her. I will protect you."

"Wait miss." said the girl "Your not going to leave me. Are you?"

"I'm afraid so."

"But but." the girl began to cry. "Your the first person to ever help me you-you, please don't go."

Nezuko gave her a big hug. "I'm so sorry little one. You deserve so much better but I can't give you that the most I can do is make sure you are in good hands and this man's hands are the best. My brother helped him when he was in need and he will help you." with those words Nezuko faded. "You will be safe your hero will help you."

After seeing Nezuko disappeared the girl got scared and hid herself in the box. Izuku slowly approached the box knowing that the girl was watching him from inside. "Hey don't worry I don't know who did this to you but I promise I won't let them hurt you again." she didn't respond. She just continued to watch him from the cracks between the cardboard slits. "Come on I know some place safe where we can go. So how about you come out of that box-"

"NO' yelled the girl yelled. "Nezuko said this would keep me safe. It keeps me away from them. It keeps others from my curse. They can't find me in the box."

"Okay. Did Nezuko tell you the box was safe like the one she had?" asked Izuku remember the tale of Nezuko.

"Yeah" she said opening the box slightly. "Did you know her."

"In a way, yes I do know her. She had a wooden box that kept her safe while she traveled with her brother. Oh i have an idea we'll just take the box with us." He said as he grabbed the sides of the box. "Ready one two three." as he lifted the box withe girl inside. "Can you tell me your name."

"My name is Eri."

"My name is Izuku Midoriya. Are you Hunger?"

~o~

Every person who was in the McRonalds went silent as they saw the now famous Demon Slayer walk in to the fast food restaurant talking to a box. He put the box down onto the table and ordered a chicken sandwich and some apple slices. The manager made sure they got his order done quick but she had them double check to make sure they got it done right. Meanwhile he sat down at the table and then began to talk to the box again. It confused everyone until the manager brought the food.

"Here you go sir one chicken sandwich and apple slices." said the manager as she put the food on the table."

"Thanks." said Izuku as he grabbed the apple slices "here you go Eri apples just like you asked." To everyone's surprise a little girl popped her head out grabbed the apples and shut the box. Izuku saw their confusion, as well as fast movement outside the window. "I kinda found her hiding in this box. I couldn't just leave her there and saw she was hungry so I came here sorry." He said as he bowed to the other customers and the manager.

"Oh it's no problem sir." said the manager bowing back. "In fact I'm happy my store could be of service."

"Thanks here." he said has he handed her several bills."

"What no there's no need to give us more you've already over paid sir."

"I insist we've caused quite a commotion here so please take." He said giving her a sunny smile she couldn't refuse. She left the two to eat. As Izuku ate he kept talking to Eri. Even though she never said anything back she stayed in the box, he kept telling her stories of his training, his sensei's cat, and even his mother. "You know my sensei once told me he meet the devil at a McRonalds once. Said he worked here. Probably just some guy who messed up his order." 'I'm who could imagine the devil himself working part time at a fast food restaurant'.

"Umm excuse me sir." Izuku looked and saw a man in a cheap suit with a scar across his bald head. "I'm so sorry that my girl caused you so much problems. If you don't mind, I would like to take her home."

Izuku gave him a deadpan stare. Along with half the restaurant. He wasn't even trying to be convincing. "Seriously, your kidding right." Izuku sighed as he put some money on the table and grabbed the box with Eri in it. He could feel her shaking inside. "Miss manager I'm sorry for not cleaning up after myself but something tells me I should leave now before I create a bigger mess." he said with a smile then calmly left the restaurant. "Eri please stay in the box I won't let you go but it will get a little rough." he said to Eri "Now before we begin are you and those men hiding behind that truck sure you guys want to do this."

The man stood there for a moment wondering how the heck the kid knew about the others. "I knew that lie wouldn't work oh well." before yelling. "Get him now before he draws his sword." The moment those words left the man mouth several men jumped Izuku. Izuku noticed one of them controlling a chain and trying to snare him. He grabbed the chain with one hand and pulled it along with the man and smashing him into his friends. Knocking several of them out with one move. Another tried from behind and with being as careful of Eri as he kicked the man into a truck.

"Trust me when I say this. I don't need my sword to beat any of you." said Izuku as he vanished from their sight. Izuku quickly with one hand gave each of them a good chop on the neck knocking each of them out. When they wake next they would be in police custody.

Eri popped her head out to look at Izuku and his handiwork. "Come on Eri. Let's go home."

"Home?"

Izuku nodded as he made a dash back to the mountain. The bald scared grunt got up and ralled the men. Getting as many of them as they could into the trucks. "Come it. Move it. If we don't get her back Overhaul is gonna kill us move it." He screamed at them as they speed down the highway way over the speed limit. Until.

Suddenly the lead driver hit the brakes. "WHAT IN THE HELL DID YOU STOP FOR!"

Screamed the man as they stared at the driver who began sweating bullets as he looked ahead in sheer horror. They all looked forward only to regret everything in there life. IT was back and it put a hand on the hood of their truck.

"I'm sorry but I can't let you do that." As her hands erupted in flames. "You haven't finished playing with me." screamed Nezuko as she ripped their engine out with one hand.

By the time the police arrived ever would be gangster had already soiled their pants and raving about a demonic girl in pink. They should have worn the brown pants.

~o~

"Hey I'm home" yelled Izuku as he returned to the mountain.

"Welcome back, I got curry cooking and Masti-" Tomo stopped has she saw Izuku with a box with a little girl inside. "Master, Izuku kidnapped a girl."

"I didn't kidnap her."

Yushiro walked into the kitchen. "Okay what's going on here." after seeing the girl simple raised an eyebrow. "Well this is unexpected."

"Sorry sensei, I know this is unexpected but I have good reason to bring her here. She needs help."

"I can see that. She seems frightened half to death just by looking at us."

"Aw don't worry,cutie. We're all friends here." said Tomo as she reached to pat the girls head. She stopped as her face twisted with horror as every single one of her instinics screamed at her to stop. She quickly backed away. "WHAT THE HELL"

"Its her quirk." Said Yushiro keeping calm. "Her quirk is going out of control. Izuku why exactly did you bring her here."

"I'm sorry sir, I didn't know about her quirk. Its well. Eri tell him who brought me to you."

Eri was quiet for a moment. "It was miss Nezuko."

Yushiro could help but be shocked. Izuku forgot with how much his sensei tried to be stoic, that even he can be shocked. "Izuku you said brought to her by someone."

"It was her sir. Pink Hiyori and matched the photos perfectly. Nezuko brought me to this little girl."

Yushiro up to the little girl and put his hand out. "Don't" warned Eri almost jumping out of the box. "If you do you'll die too. My curse will kill you."

Yushiro gave her one of his rare smiles. "Don't worry little one. It takes a lot to kill me and I'm very familiar with curses." as he put his hand on her head. Eri was surprised when nothing happened when he petted her head. Both Izuku and Tomo knew he was doing more than just comforting the girl and it showed as his eyes begin to narrow. "Tomo make sure you make extra for dinner. Izuku prepare an extra bedroom for Eri." as he grabbed the box with Eri. He saw Eri become scarred. "Eri I promise that I won't hurt you but I need to make sure your quirk doesn't hurt anyone."

"You can make it so I don't hurt anyone anymore."

"I will try." as he took Eri to the medical wing of the Mansion. Izuku made sure the room next to his and Tomo's were set. He even found Tomo's old pajamas she said Eri could us. He returned to see Tomo finish dinner when Yushiro came back with a tired Eri, with no box this time. Both Izuku and Tomo wanted to ask questions when Yushiro mouthed 'after dinner.' The four had a peaceful dinner.

Shortly after dinner Eri fell asleep holding Izuku. Tomo took he and changed her before putting her down to bed. They looked to see a peaceful sleeping Eri in her bed before closing her door.

As they went back to the living room. Yushiro let out a heavy sigh. "That girl has truly experienced hell."

"What do you mean?" asked Izuku as Tomo brought tea.

"For starters she's been killed several times."

Crash Tomo dropped a tea cup. Izuku couldn't help but notice she was shaking. "I'm sorry sir but could you repeat that."

"She has had a bit of a similar experience like you Tomo."

Tomo put everything down as she took a deep breath. "Okay I'm good. Please continue master." she said forcing herself from shaking. Izuku grabbed the tea pot and poured everyone a cup.

Yushiro took a drink before he began retelling his experience of the child's past. "When I was putting her quirk under control I took a peek into her mind and into her memories. For starters someway her parents were related to a villian a Yakuza member to be precise. When her quirk activated revealing it to be some sort quirk that could rewind an organic being to a previous state. I believe one of the yakuza members then gave her a quirk enhancement drug thinking it will give him some sort of fountain of youth. In the end it made her quirk go out of control. She undid the man into nothing. After that she was taken by the head of the yakuza. That's when the nightmare began. Calling it tourtue would be too easy. They discovered her blood holds her quirk, the blood has been key to their quirk enhancement drugs it increased their performance ten fold. By continually studying it they learned how to use it suppress quirks and even how to eliminate quirks entirely from someone. Some much from her blood." Yushiro grew angry. "To get this much blood the head of the Yakuza used his quirk to literally turn her entire body into blood. Then used it again to turn her back. His quirk allows him to deconstruct and reconstruct anything even people. He deconstructed her and reconstructed her over and over again."

Yushiro stopped there to let the information. Both Izuku and Tomo were in shock that slowly turned into anger. Izuku began to wonder what type a twisted monster could do this to little girl, while Tomo was just wondering where she could find him and spill his guts. Yushiro could see in Tomo's eyes as several painful memories came back to her. He could tell whoever did this was no at the very top of her kill on sight list. Luckily he wasn't the only one to see.

"Tomo." She looked up to see Izuku with a worried look in his eyes. Izuku became a good friend to her over the year he stayed with them at the mountain. He was now like a little brother to her. She couldn't stay mad not with that worried look of his. She took a deep breath and suppressed the bad memories and reminded herself this is about the girl.

"Master is Eri going to be alright?"

"It's hard to say. Physically she will be fine after a few days of rest. Mentally she will have to live with the scars that have been given. The most we can do is help them fade so she can smile and have a bit of normal life. Though her main problem that we need to solve is one that I have never seen before."

"What do you mean sensei."

"It may even help her mentally but the biggest problem she has is her quirk." he paused

"Please explain sensei" asked Izuku "if there's anyway we can help her. I would like to help."

"He's right we have to help." Said Tomo agreeing with Izuku.

"Don't worry we will help her and I was getting to that. You see the problem with her quirk is that is been mutated too much. I don't think the man fully understood what he was doing or even cared for that matter. You see she is still just a child her quirk is still developing and the man kept destroying her and recreating her add drugs and whatever other chemicals they were pumping in her have changed her quirk its mutated it making it volatile and uncontrollable. If I had to take a guess I would say her quirk originally reverted anything organic back to a previous form state by state, but now it rewinds at an unpredictable rate and the raw form of her quirk in her blood is so broken down its pulling her into several different directions."

They both digested the information. "So how do we help her."

"She is going to need several genetic quirk surgeries. I'm going to have to alter her quirk change it into something more manageable."

"You can do that." Izuku said in a bit of a shock.

"I know how quirks were made and I've been studying them for years. How do you think I was able to get her to stop earlier."

"That was actually a question I had"

"I can explain in better detail later. For now we have to prepare. It's not going to be easy I'm going to need several items and ingredients. Izuku I know we agreed that you would see your mother next week but this takes priority so many things can go wrong with an unstable quirk like this one."

"I completely understand sensei."

"Izuku" Said Tomo getting his attention. "Your not off the hook. Your still going to go see your mother before UA."

"She's right. First we make sure Eri is okay then we see your mother. After that you get into UA." Said Yushiro finishing his Tea and giving them a look filled with pure rage. "That's when we hunt down whoever did this to Eri and show them our Fury."

Chapter 6 New Morning

Eri for the first time she could remember slept peacefully. It was strange and forigne but she liked it. She was safe.

Though that didn't stop her from panicking when she awoke in an unfamiliar room. She calmed down when the memories of the previous night came to her. She didn't know what to do. They were nice to her but the Yakuza would come looking for her. Chisaki would come and then the nice people would die because of her. Eri then began to wrap herself in the sheets wanting to return to her peaceful slumber.

"Are you still tired I can come back later." Eri then saw Tomo looking over her with a big smile on her face. Eri didn't know what to say she wanted to say sorry. She didn't want anyone else to die because of her. That's when another part of her decided to talk.

"Gggrrroowwwl"

"Well it sure sounds like someone is ready for breakfast." said Tomo as she picked Eri up. Eri tensed up a little but soon relaxed to Tomo's gentle touch. "How do pancakes sound?"

"Whats a Pancake?"

"Super yummy food you're going to love."

They soon made their way towards the living room where they found Yushiro watching the Izuku train in the courtyard. "Good morning Tomo, Eri." said Yushiro without taking his eyes off Izuku. "Don't forget to watch your stance. You're going to lose power if you don't get a good stance for the Breath of the earth techniques."

"Yes Sensei. Morning." said Izuku not looking as well."

"Morning." said Tomo

"Morning." said Eri in a small voice. "Can he see us?"

"Hhmm. No he's most likely using his other senses to tell where we are." said Tomo as they watched Izuku for a minute. "Would you like to stay and watch." Eri was a little surprised she wasn't used to getting asked what she wanted. She was honestly afraid of answering but nodded. "Okay then. You can stay here with master Yushiro while I go make breakfast." she said as she put Eri down right next to Yushiro before going to the kitchen.

Eri sat there quietly watching as Izuku ran through several drills as Yushiro gave him some advice ever now and then. Eri was still scared to say anything or to ask anything she just stared at Izuku and glanced at Yushiro every minute or so.

"I can't give you a proper answer if you don't ask a question." Yushiro smiled at Eri. "I will try to answer any questions you have to the best of my ability."

"What are you going to do to me?"

"Well with your permission I would like to help you and give you a permanent fix to your quirk."

"You can help me? You can take the curse away?"

"Yes I can help you. I'm very familiar with quirks and I know a way to turn your curse into a gift that you can use in anyway you so desire, but I would like your blessing to do so." He said with sensarity.

Eri almost couldn't believe it. It was almost too good to be true. "Why? Why would you help me."

"Eri I know I might not look like it but I've been around for a very long time. During that time I've seen people happy and I've seen people suffer. I have suffered as well so has Tomo and Izuku. An old friend of mine showed me that people can be happy that they can become better no matter what life has thrown at you you can still turn it around. He gave me hope after I lost the only love of my life until the day he died, he still showed me the hope of life. I want to help you because I want to and because I have the power to do so. I want to give you a helping hand like my friends did for me."

Eri began to think over everything Yushiro just said not really understanding it. She didn't really know what to think. A helping hand was so strange to her and Yushiro could tell. The way she was squirming he could tell she had barely known what kindness is.

"I know this might be too much for you but believe me when I say we will help you we will protect you." Eri looked at Yushiro and saw no lies. It calmed her enough to feel peace. She felt like she could trust these people. She knew now they wouldn't treat her like Overhaul did. They sat in silence for a little while. "Do you have any other questions?"

"Umm what is he doing?"

"Izuku is going through some of his breathing styles. He's trying to get better at the ones he's not good at."

"Breathing Styles?"

"Breathing Styles are different ways to breathe. Depending on how you use the breathing style changes the way you fight and the fighting style used. It was the main form of combat used by the Demon Slayers."

"What's a Demon Slayer?"

"Heroes who fought a secret battle against monsters that threatened many people. They had made many sacrifices to do so. They won in the end but sense many had no idea what they were doing they became lost to time. I spent a good part of my life gathering and preserving their knowledge and even learning many of their techniques. I thought it was terrible that they would be forgotten so I made it a goal that they would be remembered."

"So can you use the breathing as well."

"Somewhat, unfortunately I'm not exactly built for them. Though I made sure I understood it enough to pass it on to others. Like Izuku. I think he was born for it."

"Is he strong enough to beat the bad man." Eri said afraid of what would happen when he shows up.

"By himself I'm not sure. I've never met this Overhaul but he won't be alone. I've already contacted several people this morning. The government already has their eyes out for him and if I ask for back up they will give it."

"Government. Thats the people in charge of Japan." asked Eri she didn't know exactly what it was but she knew Overhaul didn't like them. "You work for them?"

"No, I work with them. You see years ago as technology advanced it became harder and harder to hide and I didn't want any of my hard work to go to waste. I thought it was high time I introduced myself to the government after I showed them the truth of the Demon Slayers and the benefits of my advanced knowledge in science and technology. They agreed to make a deal for me. They help me keep the knowledge of old safe and help keep me hidden from others and I would help them on certain projects that I would agree upon. I learned that I would need something to occupy my time before I went crazy with boredom. Though when quirks first started to appear things got real busy. It's been that way for a while, eventually I became acquainted with quite a few people of power around the world that are willing to help me and in turn I've helped them one way or another."

Eri stayed quiet after that mainly because she had no idea how to take the information. Even Yushiro had to admit that was quite a bit of information for someone so young to take, but he wanted to be honest with her so he could build a bond of trust. Even though she may not be able to understand everything he was saying she could at least tell he wasn't hiding was about to say something to make it easier to understand when Izuku finished his drills.

"Morning Eri did you sleep well." he asked. Eri nodded as her stomach growled. "Sounds like someone wants breakfast. Is Tomo making food?"

"I believe so." Said Yushiro checking the time. "Though I have to say she is taking a bit longer than usual."

"Breakfast is ready." yelled Tomo from the dining room.

"Well speak of the devil. Come, children let's get some food." said Yushiro as he took Eri's hand and walked her to the dining room. Only to stop as he entered.

"What's wrong sensei- WHOA" said Izuku as he saw it.

"Tomo what is this?"

"Its breakfast Master." said Tomo wiping the sweat from her forehead.

"This is enough for an army." he said pointing to the mountain of food on the table. "Or Godzilla."

Izuku could only stare at it. "There's pancakes, waffles, omelets, bacon and eggs. So much more. I don't even know if we can eat all of this."

"I'm sorry. I wanted Eri's first breakfast to be special so I just started cooking and kinda didn't stop."

"Tomo" said Yushiro pinching the bridge of his nose as he was lost for words.

"Oh come now sensei at least we now have enough here to find something Eri would like. Right Eri. Eri?"

.munch.

The three look over to see Eri at the corner of the table eating an apple from the fruit bowl.

"It would seem that our new friends hunger has gotten to her." Said Yushiro "Come on. This food isn't going to eat itself."

~o~

To say Overhaul was pisst would be an understatement. First He lost Eri when on ehis men dropped her when he apparently saw some sort of demon girl in pink. Still trying to figure out what that was. The brat known as Demon Slayer took Eri and with little effort beat several of his men who were now arrested. Overhaul tried to bribe the officers to let them go when the government stepped in. That was a very unpleasant surprise and before he knew it this morning three of the Yakuza branches were hit. Not by the heroes or the cops but a special ops unit from the frickin military. Why the hell would the military be after him? They barely do anything domestic nowadays there only really called in for international conflicts or a supervillain goes apocalyptic. One of them even tried to jump him while he was out looking for Eri. He even needed to dirty his hand with one of their feathly disgusting blood. Why the hell were they going after him now? They weren't even using warrants or even trying to arrest them. It was like they were ordered to kill on sight. None of this made any goddamn sense to him. He hasn't even told others about his overall plans, he hasn't even perfected the formula, yet they were treating him like a global terrorist.

Chisaki couldn't help but wonder. He was currently deep in the depth of the yakuza's lair currently cleaning his mask and washing his hands as they still felt dirty. When his right hand Chronos came in. "Overhaul one of the guys who was able to get away from those military guys has returned."

Overhaul kept his eyes on his cleaning. "He wasn't followed was he?"

Chronos then put a letter down on the table. "NO, he was actually saved by another group of villains."

Overhaul knew Chronos long enough to know he wasn't joking. He put his rag down and picked up the letter and began to read it. "The League of Villains? I've never heard of them."

"Neither have I. They seem to be new and it appears they know a thing or two about this Demon Slayer kid and what to do something about it."

Overhaul put the letter down. "So they want our help and it seems they want to talk to us as well."

"Would you like to give them the usual response." meaning to go and tell them to shove it.

Chisaki thought for a moment before coming to a decision. "No. Right now we aren't in a good position. We refused before because we didn't want to get absorbed or taken over. Though without Eri we can't make more quirk removal bullets and with the military hunting us. It might benefit us from making a few friends, even get a few new recruits to refill our ranks."

"Make sense so you want me to tell them will help them out."

"Yes but tell them I want info on that Demon Slayer brat first." Said Overhaul as he thought about the brat that has put the brakes on his operations. His anger began to reach a tipping point. "I want to find that brat and turn him into a pool of blood over and over again till I get bored."

~o~

Izuku was filling great as he walked out of the bathroom just getting done with taking a shower. Even though Yushiro's home was an old Japanese style house it was quite advanced with a lab and medical wing. It even had the basic household needs but those were definitely better than anything other people had. If he didn't know Yushiro was an immortal who got bored easily he would never believe he built all of this stuff himself.

Though he did feel slightly bloated. Tomo made a lot of food and with so many options Izuku tried a little bit of everything. Tomo is a great cook, there was no way he could deny that. Usually he would finish his plate but this is the first time he could remember where they had left overs.

Izuku went into the living room to see Yushiro and Tomo sitting on the poarch in the sun with the wooden box between them. He knew they would be there apparently when Yushiro was able to stand in the sun again after not being able to see for over two hundred years. He spent a whole year just watching the sun. He still loved sitting outside in the sun.

"Sensei, Tomo."

"Izuku how was the shower."

Izuku patted his stomach "Great. Though I think I can wait a bit for dinner."

Tomo scratched her head and apologized.

"You know you don't need to make so much all the time. I don't need to eat food to live." said Yushiro as he was reading something on his phone.

"I'll always make food for you master."

"Wait, don't you get hunger sensei."

"Not really. To be honest if it wasn't for others telling me to eat I would forget for days. All I need is to take my medicine and with the recent improvements I've made I only need to take it once a year. Though of course I do eat if others are offering, the rare craving or the foods too good to pass up."

Tomo puffed her chest with pride. "That's why I always provide the best so you'll keep coming back for more."

Izuku couldn't help but chuckle a little. "Hey where's Eri?"

Tomo reached into the box moving the blanket revealing Eri sleeping at the bottom. "She fell asleep real quick after breakfast. After I put the leftovers away she had already climbed into the box and fell asleep, I just bought her the blanket."

They couldn't help but think how cute she was. "She's so peaceful when she sleeps. Though why would she go to the box to go to sleep? We have plenty of beds."

"It probably brings her comfort." said Yushiro "When she ran into the spirit of Nezuko she suggested to hide in a box. It was most likely the only reason she wasn't found and was able to stay safe. Some part of her believes the box is a safe place."

This reminded Izuku how he met Eri and what horrors she's lived through. "Sensei what's going to happen now with Eri."

Yushiro closed his eyes as he thought everything that needed to be done to help this girl. "She's going to need surgery. Even though she's in one piece the villain overhaul had used his quirk to destroy and recreate her over and over again. Though clearly it has had an effect on her quirk in more ways than one. Her quirk not only went out of control but also tried to heal her. Even when Overhaul used his quirk to repair her, her quirk was also trying to repair itself. Overtime it has moved and distorted several parts of her internal organs which lead to her quirk to go crazy even more, not to mention the drugs used to increase her blood cell count. It may not be a problem now but as her body grows it could cause many medical issues as she gets older, so the first thing she needs is basic surgery to correct the organs and after that we can tackle her quirk. Until then I'll simply redirect her quirk to keep it under control."

"Well that shouldn't be too hard." said Tomo "We both have several years of medical practice we can easily handle her surgery to help her out."

"I'm afraid it isn't that simple. The reason we were going to focus on fixing her body first is so that I can safely redirect her quirk because it clearly can affect her physically like self healing and the effects on the horn. This way we can not only get rid of the build up of her quirk but also hasten her healing process. In short we will be working with her quirk and can you tell me what would happen if we mixed her quirk and yours together."

Tomo was silent for a moment as she looked at her hands and then to the sleeping girl. "That would be a disaster."

"I'm sorry Tomo I know you want to help her especially since you know somewhat of what she's going through, but your quirks are too risky together. One wrong move and we could create a bigger problem than the one we were already dealing with."

Izuku put a comforting hand on Tomo's shoulder. "So what do you need if there's anything I can do just say the word."

Yushiro smiled. "Don't worry Izuku you'll have plenty to do. There will be numerous things we'll need to make this work and I'm going to need you to see some people personally. The doctors needed to make sure this surgery goes off without any problems are a bit stubborn unless you grab them in person they won't come."

Tomo raised an eyebrow at Yushiro's words. "Stubborn doctors? Wait a minute. You don't mean those maniacs do you."

"Tomo they maybe have some egos but.."

"Egos that's what you're going with."

"Okay their crazy."

Tomo simply just gave him a deadpan stare.

"Okay their batshit crazy but you can't deny their skill."

Izuku sat there partly confused on who they were talking about and happy Eri was still peacefully sleeping through this bit of madness. "Um who exactly are we talking about here."

"I'm only guessing here" said Tomo "But I think master is thinking of calling a doctor called the dissector, another one that has a flaming serpent, one that is obsessed with a perfect body, an old snail lady and an old mountain witch that has a talking tanuki, and one thats called the dissector."

"You already said the dissector and the mountain witch has a reindeer not a tanuki. One thing I've learned over the years is that the most talented people in the world have the s The sooner we get that done, the sooner I can personally fix her quirk so the Yakuza will never use her again."

Tomo seemed to accept his reasoning but it just gave Izuku more questions. "How exactly do you know these people, sensei?"

"Around five years ago during there was a villain attack with a quirk that allowed them to create a super plague. Though luckily he was an idiot and gave us time to get several doctors together to find a cure. I met them there and yes, several doctors came from more than questionable backgrounds. They also know I'm hundreds of years old."

"WHAT" they both yelled in surprise.

"SSSSHHHHH" as Yushiro pointed to Eri. "The villain may have been an idiot but he found out about the doctors and attacked the hospital where we were. During the attack several of the other doctors ran away but a few of them stayed and fought. During the attack I may have lost a few limbs so when I got backup. Well lets just say there were a few questions they wanted answered of course I lied about most of it. They accepted I was one of the oldest people on the planet and one of the first people to get a quirk that healed me and stunted my growth. So not only are they good but they know who I am so they'll help."

"Master with all do respect they're crazy. Isn't there anyone better for the job?" asked Tomo not wanted people so unhinged near Eri.

"Don't worry I'll make sure they stay in check. The government owes me so they'll pay them off and just in case I can call a few people in for security if needed. " Said Yushiro also thinking of what else they'll need. "Though the equipment here is good they will need an upgrade to make sure we can monitor Eri's condition and the amount of energy her quirk outputs. Looks like I'll be calling Shields a lot sooner than expected."

"Wait Shields as in David Shields All MIght FIrst sidekick." said Izuku shaking trying to control the hero nerd deep inside of him. He was failing.

"Yes he was here yesterday before you brought Eri home. Wanted my help on a project but he refused to tell me what it exactly is. Something to do with enhancing quirks but that's as much he was willing to tell me. That and a personal request to check what I assume is a patient. I guess I'll need to give him a call."

Yushiro began to make sure he had Shields number as a contact before reassuring Izuku that he could get David Shields autograph. That's when his phone began to ring.

"Hello…. Yes… Really already. I gave you that info this morning. I see …. I guess that makes sense. There's no need to apologize, I understand how this could have been a political problem. Thank You, please keep me up to date." said Yushiro as he hung up the phone and smiled at the sleeping child. "The government used the info I gave them and took out several Yakuza bases. Apparently they've been paying attention to the rumors of a quirk erasing bullet and have had their eyes on the Yakuza for quite some time. When I told them about Eri they jumped on the chance."

Izuku was shocked and somewhat confused. "What I thought they would only get involved if a villain was going to somehow destroy the country entirely."

Surprisingly Tomo decided to answer that question. "Izuku they were working on mass producing a bullet that could destroy quirks can you imagine what would happen to the country that has relied on quirks for years if that bullet got out. It would end the country."

Izuku played the scenario in his head realizing how much damage it would do to society. "That would be bad."

Yushiro nodded "Indeed but that aside we have work to do. So we're first going to need-" He stopped as they heard a cute yawn as they looked to see Eri waking up in the box. "Oh good morning again, Eri."

Eri stretch a little before rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. "What happened? What's going on?"

Tomo couldn't help but smile at the cuteness of the girl. "You fell asleep right after breakfast."

"I think food coma would be more accurate."

~o~

David Shield was currently laying down in his hotel room just staring at the ceiling in his own failure. Weeks ago the scientist was ecstatic to learn not only the legendary immortal doctor was real but also willing to talk to him. He had come all the way to Japan to ask for his help. He wanted his help into finding a way to increase the power of a quirk but the immortal said no even when David said it was for a hero. He had also figured out that the Immortal Yushiro had somehow unlocked the quirk to the new hero Demon Slayer but the second he asked about it Yushiro was silent and David could tell he was making Yushiro angry. He then informed him that he's willing to help with projects that will help society as a whole and will not help any personal project without being given proper information. Even though this doctor was a secret himself he couldn't reveal his friend's condition. In the end he had gotten nothing.

He was now just waiting for his plane later tonight to take him back to I Island and back to his daughter Melissa who has been calling him over and over again. David had already deduced his assistant had told her that something had happened.

There goes his phone again. Time to finally tell her he failed and would be on his way home. He picked up the phone without looking at it. "Hello Melissa I'm sorr-"

"This isn't Melissa"

David immediately shot out of the bed. "Mister Yushiro!"

"Hello Mr. Shield" said Yushiro

"What ….Why are you calling me?"

"As you know I don't get involved with projects when there are secrets involved, but I need help to be more precise, I need some special medical equipment to help a friend. So in turn helping me with my problem I will take a look at your quirk project and your patients."

"Really you're willing to help." said David a little bit in disbelief. "Wait patients?"

"Yes. You are trying to make a quirk enhancement device for a Hero whose injured right. I already have an idea who it is, but I won't push just have their medical records with you when we meet again. You can redact their names if you want. As for the second one you'll need to either bring them with you. When you began asking me how I unlocked Izuku's quirk that was for someone else wasn't it. Someone who's having problems with their quirk correct."

"Uhh Yes. The quirk enhancement device is for a hero and the questions about the boys quirk was for someone who has problems with their quirk." David never mentioned anything about Melissa being quirkless. He had done some research and saw that Izuku was medically stated to be quirkless. He had hoped that Yushiro could somehow give Melissa a quirk he knew how much she had looked up to All Might and how much she wanted to be a Hero. Everytime she came up with some new invention she always mentioned, she wanted to see in action helping heroes but he knew she wanted to use them herself.

He knew he could have mentioned her to Yushiro but was afraid sense he knew how well quirkless people were treated. He didn't know how well someone who was immortal would take helping a quirkless person. That was like asking a god to help a peasant.

Little did David know Yushiro would have helped. He's a nice guy. "Very well then it looks like we have a deal. I'll be emailing you a list of items we are going to need. It isn't much but I do need these quite soon so do you think you can return exactly a week from now."

He would have to change a few meetings but if this could help his friend, HIS daughter he would make it work. "Yes I can make that work."

"Good I'll inform all the necessary contacts on my end. I'll see you in a week."

"Wait before you go I have a question about quirkless people."

"There's no such thing as a quirkless person. Well at least not for anyone younger than fifty. It maybe weak but everyone should have a quirk now. Izuku Midoriya is proof of that." Said Yushiro hoping David would buy it. 'Damn it I had forgotten that..' thought Yushiro. 'Nana mentioned her successor was quirkless. Did All Might tell him about One For All. David was his first sidekick so maybe. He seems desperate to help his friend as if he's about to do something rash.'

David stood there as silent tears fell from his face. As Yushiro's words filled him with hope for his daughter. David always felt he had failed his daughter when they found out she was quirkless. It had eaten him up on the inside every time he saw her looking on the computer at heros. If he couldn't help her then the next best thing was to find someone who can. "I see thank you so much."

"It's fine we'll talk more next week." said Yushiro as he hung up the phone. "He's definitely a smart one. I'm going to need to come up with some solid lies for him to get him to stop digging into the origins of quirks."

David smile keeps growing as he may have found a way to help two of the most important people in his life. Then his phone rang again. "Hello Mr Yushiro did you forget something."

"Mr Yushiro? No dad it's me, Melissa . Are you okay? Your assistant said you were down, did the meeting go that bad."

"Melissa. Yes the meeting didn't go so well at first but he just called and changed his mind."

"Really that's great Dad so are you two on your way back to I Island."

"No not exactly. In fact in a week you and I will be visiting him here in Japan."

"What?"

~o~

"I see… thank you Lockrock and congratulations on the child." said Sir Night Eye as he hung up the phone exhausted.

"Is everything alright Sir?" asked his very enthusiastic intern Mirio. Both of his sidekicks were also wondering what was going on. Ever since this morning Sir Night Eye had been on the phone calling hero agencies all over the country, he was so busy that everyone else had become nonexistent. He hadn't realized that he ran out of tea two hours ago. He had been sipping an empty cup for awhile now.

Night eye sighed as he collected his thoughts. "I've been calling heroes across the nation regarding the sudden intervention of the military special forces. Three days ago they began immediate raids on the Yakuza hideouts we and some other heroes have been following. Something just doesn't seem right about any of this." he said as he began to rub his forehead.

"I'm guessing I'm missing something here, because to me that sounds like a good thing."

"You need to see the bigger picture Mirio. Bubble Girl, Cenitpider, did we get any message from any kind of official about this or even another hero agency?"

"No Sir we've checked every hour today and yesterday and nothing."

"The military moved suddenly in several populated areas without notifying a single hero and without any official word from anybody. The break too many rules to count and as far as we know they didn't deserve this level of retaliation. What incidents happened with the Yakuza three to five days ago."

Bubble Girl quickly went through the computer. "Nothing from any official hero agency's but it seems that the Demon Slayer kid got into a fight with a small group of them saving a child."

"Demon Slayer!" Night Eye had been trying to figure the boy out for months, he was wrapped up in mysterious and the 'official' reaction made it even more strange. 'Did he have something to do with what was going on?' Night Eye began to get lost in thoughts as he stared at one of his various All Might posters.

"Sir?"

"Mirio if at any time you wish to switch internships I'll help find someone to take you in."

"Wait what?"

"Bubble girl, Centipider. The Same can also go for you if at any point I cross a line that you feel uncomfortable with. Say the word and you can leave the agency."

"HUH!"

"Right now the government is acting strange and somehow Demon Slayer is involved. If the government keeps withholding information and keeps us in the dark, I maybe forced to start doing things off the books."

This left the three in a bit of shock. Centipider recovered first. "Sir do you really think that is necessary?"

"Yes. If things continue this way but for now we will wait and keep an eye on Demon Slayer. Though for now I think it's time for me to reconnect with an old friend."
