Chapter 3 - Chapter 2 : In the 22nd Century

3rd Person's POV

Earlier

In the 22nd century , where supernatural powers called " QUIRKS" exists, the Underground Pro Hero , Eraserhead , also known as Aizawa Shota , was patrolling during the night as usual . He was sitting on a roof of a tall building , watching over the city .

Just when he was about to finish his patrol , a sudden noise caused him to look upwards. A purple portal opened in the air surprising the Hero , a girl fell from it and landed on the roof . He flinched in surprise, not expecting a girl to fall from there .

He cautiously looked at the girl and narrowed his eyes in suspicion. He saw the girl's unfamiliar clothes and sword.

Aizawa moved closer on the girl and looked at her face . His eyes widened to see that it was a kid who looked like a fourteen year old . Just when he was about to lift the girl from the ground and bring her to the hospital to get her checked , she suddenly opened her eyes surprising the man and causing him to flinch again .

...

Aizawa's POV

I looked surprised by the girl's sudden action . She looked like a fourteen year old . What is she doing with a sword ? She continued to stare at me and I also stared back at her . We continued our staring contest for a few moments until I decided to break the atmosphere and spoke ;

" Hey kid, are you alright?" I asked while stretching a hand for her to grab . She seems to realize that she was still on the ground because of her fall from earlier . She put her small hands on my bigger palm and stood up.

" Kid , do you know that bringing sharp weapons is against the rules ?" I asked her when she was completely standing . She looked at me with confusion as she blinked after multiple times. After she looked around her surroundings, she turned to me and asked.  She seems to forget about my previous question.

" Where Am I ? " She asked . Her question puzzled me a bit . She really looked genuinely confused .

" You're in - " my statement was cut off when a sudden gush of wind knocked us off the roof that we are in .

Or I mean I was knocked off of the roof . The girl seems alright.

I looked at her figure who was standing still on the roof . I landed on the ground with a thump . I was about to speak to the girl until I heard an unfamiliar voice .

"Oh my , how lucky of me . Children are delicious especially when their beautiful. " My eyes widened to the weird statement I heard just now . What did they mean children are delicious? I looked at the owner of the voice and saw a middle aged man with two horns sticking out of his forehead. There was a trace of blood from his mouth and he was holding a .....' What the hell! ' My eyes widened even more  from shock when I saw a ripped limb that looks like a child's limb on the man's hold .

" I wonder how a beautiful girl like you taste like ." The man said again to the girl who was just looking at the ripped limb on his hand quietly.

The girl muttered about something I couldn't hear because I was too far away from them . The girl's statement seemed to infuriate the man that it yelled from anger .

The man's next move surprised me . He ran straight to the girl with an immense speed . But what surprised me more ,is when the girl jumped up , landing on the other side of the roof .

She suddenly unsheathed her sword . I noticed that her sword had a word carved in it . It says 

" Send demons to hell ."

The blade shone brightly under the moonlight . The girl jumped in the air , I watched as her semi purple kitsune mask shone with her icy ocean blue eyes.

She muttered something and performed a singular downwards vertical slash in an arcing motion .

In a blink of an eye , the man's head separated from his body . I stood there in my position, shocked . The other thing that surprised me for who knows how many times now , is the man's body disintegrated into ashes .

" What the hell just happened?" I muttered to myself confused.

...

Kaede's POV

" Where am I?"  My statement seemed to confuse the man .

" You're in - " He was about to answer when a sudden gush of wind knocked him off the roof . I looked at him to see that he landed softly and safely to the ground .

"Oh my , how lucky of me . Children are delicious especially when their beautiful. " A voice suddenly echoed through the night . I looked at the owner of the voice and saw a middle aged man with two horns sticking out of it's forehead. It was carrying a limb that seems to be a child's limb . I looked at the ripped limb and pursed my lips in disgust .

" I wonder how a beautiful girl like you taste like ." The demon continued to talk as I just stayed silent and looked at the limb on it's hold .

After that , I looked up and met the demon's eyes with my soul piercing glare. I can sense that the demon shivered from my stare .

"  So your a pedophile eh ?" I muttered enough for the demon to hear .

Veins popped out of the demon's forehead, a sign that it was very annoyed .

" SHUT THE F*CK UP AND LET ME EAT YOU ALREADY! "  It yelled , looking infuriated . It suddenly ran to me at full speed recklessly.

' Big mistake.'  I thought while jumping on the air to avoid the demon's reckless attack and landed on the other side of the roof .

I turned around and unsheathed my sword, showing the carved words that says " Send demons to hell."

I jumped onto the air and muttered ;

" Breath of the sun , dance : Enbu "  I performed a singular downwards vertical slash in an arcing motion.

In the blink of an eye, the demon's head was cut off . It's body started to disintegrate into ashes .

The man earlier stood there , shocked , confused and muttered to himself.

" What the hell just happened?"

I ignored him and looked at the stars . He said something that made me snap onto reality.

" Hey kid , don't you know that using your quirk in public is illegal?"

I finally looked at the man and raised an eyebrow.

' Quirk . What's that ?'  I started thinking to myself .

" What did you do to that man ? Kid , you literally just killed a person ." The man continued as I felt my body get wrapped by a fabric .

' Person ? You clueless people don't know how many children it ate .' I scoffed when I heard the man's statement .

The man then started walking to a certain direction that I didn't care about . I kept looking at the stars admiring their beauty .

...

[ At the Police Station ]

3rd Person's POV

In the waiting room , Kaede looked at the white ceiling , lost in her own thoughts.

The people in the police station are glancing at her from time to time, unable to take their eyes off of the young beauty .

Suddenly, the door opened causing Kaede to snap in reality . On the door revealed two men. It was the man that Kaede met and the other one was still unfamiliar.

Kaede looked at them with her usual poker face .

" I'll only ask a few questions so please answer honestly okay ?" The unfamiliar man said while taking a seat in front of Kaede .

Kaede just hummed in answer .

" What's your name? "

"Hoshizawa Kaede. "   Truth

" Age ?"

" 14 "  Truth

" Why are you carrying a katana?"

" Because it's part of my job . "  Truth

" What job ? "

Kaede paused a little while and resumed .

" Are you two aware of the existence of man - eating demons? "  The two men was quite taken aback by Kaede's words but Aizawa answered nonetheless. 

" Man - eating demons ? Isn't that just a myth ?"

The man earlier seems to not believe Kaede .

" Man eating demons  does exists.  They are the creatures who eats human flesh to gain power . The one you saw earlier with a child's limb was a man eating demon. "  Kaede explained without any emotion in her face .

" I see ...." Aizawa muttered to himself.

" By the way , this place is a little unusual . Can you tell me where am I ?"  Kaede finally asked the question she wanted to ask so badly .

" You're in Musutafu Japan ." [ A/n: idk where they are . Did I spell it right ? ] The man known as detective Tsukauchi answered this time .

" Musutafu ? I've never heard of this place before ."  The girl muttered to herself. She then looked at the calendar that was hanging on the wall .

" Year 20xx ? Isn't it Taisho period today ?" The girl said enough for the two men hear her . Her statement caused the two men to look at her in disbelief .

" Kid , where do you live that causes you to be this clueless? "

The two men looked at the girl and the girl did the same . Their staring contest was interrupted when the door opened and the pro heroes walked in including the UA's principal .

" How did you get in here ?" Tsukauchi asked .

" Aizawa kun informed us when he was in patrol ." The mouse looking creature , know as  Nezu answered with a smile . He then looked at the girl who was silently watching them . He looked at her dull blue eyes , he can feel shivers running down his spine when she looked at him but he smiled warmly nevertheless.

" Hello . I am Principal Nezu, nice to meet you young woman." Nezu greeted .

" Hello , my name is Hoshizawa Kaede." The girl answered blankly .

" Oh my , what a lovely name . Well then , Hoshizawa san, please excuse us for a moment to discuss something okay ? Please stay here for a moment while we talk ." Nezu said to the girl who just nodded her head already lost in thought .

...

[ With the heroes ]

"Hoshizawa sliced a man's head when I was in patrol . The surprising thing is that , after the man's head was decapitated, he started turning into ashes . " Aizawa explained what happened earlier unaware of the fact that Kaede can hear them very clearly .

" So what did you talk about just now ?" Pro Hero, Present Mic , know as Hizashi Yamada , asked the man .

" She asked us if we were aware of the existence of man eating demons or something. Then she explained that the man that she decapitate the head earlier was a man eating demon." Aizawa answered .

" Then she looked at the calendar and said something about today being Taisho period." Aizawa continued.

" So that what she said huh ?" Nezu said while the pro heroes looked at him .

" So what are we going to do now ?" Toshinori Yagi , known as Allmight asked for the first time .

" Why don't the little listener come with me . I have enough space for a little girl . " Present Mic suggested while pointing at himself.

" No ." The pro heroes simultaneously replied.

" Why ???!!! " Mic asked exasperated.

" You'll just damage the poor child's ear. We can't let her get deaf you know ." Aizawa answered his friend .

Depressed aura surrounded Mic as he sulked into the nearest corner .

The pro heroes ignored him and discussed a bit when Midnight suggested what Mic said a while ago.

" Why don't Hoshizawa stay with me ? I'd love to take her in." Midnight suggested with bright aura surrounded her .

" No ." All the pro heroes shaked their heads , indicating that they do not agree to Midnight's suggestion.

" But why ? I'm not loud like Mic !!" Midnight defended herself .

" We can't let you tamper the girl's innocence. " Vlad answered while crossing his arms in an x motion.

Midnight joined the sulking Mic on the corner . They both had depressed auras around them .

The other pro heroes shaked their heads on the two pro's childish antics . They continued their discussion, ignoring the two who was sulking .

" So ... Who will take the girl in ?" Allmight asked.

" Any volunteer?" Nezu asked as he sipped his tea that who knows where it came from.

" I'll.... I'll take her in ." Aizawa said .

" Good . Well it's decided . Please bring her to UA tomorrow Aizawa kun ."

Midnight and Present Mic's jaw dropped to the floor in disbelief.

" WHY DID NO ONE OPPOSED THAT !!?? " Midnight and Present Mic simultaneously yelled .

Aizawa nodded and the other heroes dispersed.  Aizawa , Present Mic and Midnight are the only people left on the police station. They can't accept the fact that Aizawa was going to take in such a cute girl.

They entered the waiting room and saw Kaede who was looking blankly out of the window .

...

Kaede's POV

Those weird people is discussing about me outside  but I can clearly hear them due to my keen sense of hearing.

I looked at the window and stared at the twinkling stars . I heard that the man earlier will let me stay on his house so I just kept quiet and listened to their conversation.

After a few minutes of discussion, they left except for three people . The door opened revealing the man earlier and two unfamiliar people. One was a man with a blonde hair that shaped like a banana , other one was a woman with black hair . The two unfamiliar people looked at me and smiled .

" Oh my gosh, your so cute!!! My name is Nemuri Kayama by the way but people call me Midnight." The woman spoke first and squealed . She reminds me of Mitsuri nii .

"  Yo my name's Hizashi Yamada little listener . " The man with banana shaped hair spoke in an enthusiastic voice.

I looked at the man that I met earlier in an expecting gaze .

" Aizawa Shota , that's my name kid ." I nodded at his introduction.

We left the police station and rode Aizawa's car , that's what they call the black thing that runs with engines . I looked at the window when the car drove to Aizawa's house . It was indeed different from my world . My hypothesis is that the purple portal thingy brought me into another world . Maybe I will meet my soulmate here , who knows ?

After driving a few minutes, the car stopped in front of a black house . It wasn't small nor big , it was a medium sized house . My estate is way more big than this house .

" Thank you for taking me in Aizawa san. " I bowed my head in gratitude. Aizawa san just shrugged and spoke .

" Make yourself at home . By the way , Nezu said to bring you tomorrow in UA , so you'll have to wake up early , you heard me ?"

I nodded my head in agreement as he pointed out the room I was staying . I bid goodnight to Aizawa as I went to the room that I was staying .

I opened the door with the key that Aizawa gave me . It was just a plane room with no extravagant decorations. Well , I don't really like rooms that was extravagantly decorated because it's just a waste of money . I cleaned up before climbing into the bed . It feels strange to be in another world eh ? I wonder if I meet my soulmate, how would he react ? Will he be happy ? I don't know .

' I wish everyone won't be too worried about me . I wonder how are they going to react to the fact that I went missing ." I closed my eyes as I started to fall asleep.

" I hope we will meet soon . "

Taisho secret:

Aizawa got scared for a moment when Kaede cut off the man's head but he'll just won't admit it though .

When Kaede saw the car for the first time , she got surprised but her outer appearance is still blank .

Kaede is actually anxious about the possibility that she will meet her soulmate but she didn't show it of course.
