48 The New Symbol Of Peace? (1/2)

Hearing some weird noises and a deep metallic voice from the kitchen, Toga knew something bad was happening.

She quickly rushed downstairs to aid Izuku if necessary, but once she arrived, it was already over.

”Izuku! What happened?” Toga asked.

Izuku sighed and replied, ”Someone tried to kill me just now, but it´s all good. I took care of him.”

Toga noticed the hole in his shirt and said, ”You should have just called for me, you didn´t need to die.”

”I am sorry, but this was personal. He tried to impersonate my father and besides, I need to get used to killing.”

Toga nodded and replied, ”I will at least help you with the clean up. There is blood everywhere and we need to do something about this corpse.”

”Corpse won´t be a problem, my quirk should take care of it, but the wall is badly damaged and I am not really sure how to tell my mom what happened. I guess I will just say that someone burgled us and destroyed our house in the process.”

Toga quickly cleaned the place with a special liquid.

She had a few tiny bottles of this special liquid in her bag.

They were really usefull, especially because they could get rid of things like blood and fingerprints easily.

Toga was in his house before, but she never really observed her surroundings. There were numerous things all around the kitchen and the living room.

One thing that stood out from rest was the grandfather's clock.

Toga looked at it while feeling a bit nostalgic.

'We used to have a similar clock in our house, until I...' Toga lamented.

Noticing the time, she looked at Izuku and said, ”It´s almost time for you to meet that weirdo, isn´t it? I overheard your conversation. I will definitely buy you a gift once the time comes!”

Izuku laughed and replied, ”You don't really have to. Come to think of it, when is your birthday?”

”Oh.. My birthday... It should be the seventh of August if I remember correctly. I didn't really celebrate birthdays that much.”

'7th of August? Isn't that tomorrow? I should get her something on my way back.' Izuku thought.

They continued with their chatter until they heard the bell ring.

”Damn, how is she here already?! Quick! Go and answer the door Toga-san! I still need to hide the body and wipe the floor!” saying that, Izuku immediately put impostor's body into the inventory and got back to cleaning.

Toga quickly stood up and answered the door.

”Tche, took you long enough Deku, I was about to break the door down.. Wait.. Who the heck are you?!”

”Heya! My name is Himiko To~ga! Nice to meet ya!” Toga replied in a cheerful voice.

Katsuro knew that this was the woman who Izuku was with, she had to admit she was good looking, however, she had the same kind of personality as Itsuka, which pissed her off. Moreover, she was in his house.

”Where is Deku?! Step aside!” Katsuro shouted at her.

Hearing what she said, Toga smiled but didn't move from her spot.

”I am afraid I can't let you do that, I don't know this Deku person, but Izuku asked me to hold you off for a while.”

'Asked her to hold me off?! What is he thinking?! Heck who is she anyway!?'

Katsuro clenched her fists as her anger boiled to a dangerous level.

”Let. Me. In.”

”Now now.. You don't need to act scary, I won't let you in anyway. You will have to use force, but ditzy.. I won't hold back.” Toga smirked.

Seeing that she was mocking her, Katsuro swung her fist towards Toga and mercilessly used her explosion quirk.

Toga attempted to catch her fist, but her entire hand was blown away due to the explosion that occurred. Be it someone else, it could have been a very lethal attack, however, Toga isn't a human. She regenerated her hand back immediately, making it seem like she just caught her fist without a problem.

”What?!” Katsuro didn't see what happened through the smoke she caused with her explosion, but she was extremely surprised, since she expected this woman would dodge her attack, but instead, she caught it easily.

Looking a bit lost, she figured the girl in front of her was much more stronger than she was. She pulled her fist back and retreated to a safe distance.

The two girls stared at each other in silence till Izuku interrupted them.

”What is happening outside of my house? Kacchan, did you use your explosion quirk again? Don't you know it shouldn't be used on other people untill you get your hero license? What if she got hurt?!”

Katsuro looked at him in disdain. ”Deku.. You finally decided to show up. I have several questions you bastard! Who the heck is she, and why was she in your house?! What were you doing in there and why did you tell her to hold me off?!”

Izuku sighed and started explaining everything with some lies here and there.

***************************************************

”So.. She is one of your new friends, you were burgled and you didn't want her to stop me, but auntie. Well.. I agree that she would most likely panic.” Katsuro calmed down after hearing his explanation.

”Forget about panicking, If she came home and saw all of this mess, she would have a heart attack. We were still cleaning this place up when you arrived. Sorry if you took it the wrong way. Anyway, you have already arrived, so why don't you come in?” Izuku replied.

Katsuro nodded and entered the house.

Izuku didn't really want to let her in, but it would be really impolite to just kick her out.

The moment she entered the house, a weird smell attacked her nose.

'It smells like some kind of a cream, or a lotion. But something foul is mixed in... Is it.. Blood?'

Her nose was really sensitive. Ignoring the smell, she looked around the room.

Some parts of the floor were still wet, and the right side of the wall was in a bad state. She looked at the wall and saw a single dot of red near the damaged part.

She frowned as she knew what it was.

'Blood. Something doesn't add up. Did he lie to me?'

She looked at him and noticed his torn clothes.

”What's up with your clothes Deku? A new fashion trend?”

Izuku laughed and replied, ”I was training. I've just returned from my training session.”

'He is lying. He was with this girl and his clothes were fine when I saw them.'

She sighed and decided to keep quiet about it.

”So. What brings you here Kacchan?” Izuku asked.

”I.. Actually.. I was on my way home from that dumbass Itsuka, when I saw your house. I thought I would give you a visit, but I guess you've got quite a situation on your hands.”

”Oh.. You were at Itsuka's house? How is she? Is she feeling better?” Izuku was genuinely curious, it's been a while since he heard from Itsuka.

”She is more than fine. She annoys me every day like a bug. I feel like she is completely back to her old self. She just makes fun of me now that she has 2 quirks.

Ugh just thinking about her makes my head hurt.” Katsuro grabbed her head in anger.

Izuku smiled and replied, ”That's good. I am glad she is okay now. Oh, by the way, what did you mean by saying she makes fun of you everyday? Are you visiting her everyday or something?”

Hearing him, Katsuro trembled, ”Y-Yeah..but don't take it the wrong way. I still hate her!”

”I am so glad you are taking care of her. Say hello to her for me, would ya?”

”S-Sure..”

Katsuro wiped the sweat off her head, 'That was close.. I absolutely can't tell him that I am staying over at her place. The moment I told my mom about her situation, she kicked me out of the house and told me to stay over at her house to take care of her. I had to get permission from Itsuka's mom first, but she agreed right away and now I am stuck in there.'

Toga was only listening throughout the whole conversation. She didn't have a need to say anything, so she just quietly listened and absorbed information.

”Well.. I think I should just return back to that annoying girl. I guess I will see you later?”

”Sure. Call me anytime you want. I am busy these days, but I should be able to find some free time like today.”

”Goodbye, Deku.” ”Bye Kacchan.” ”Bye Bye Ditzy!”

She turned around and glared at Toga.

”I will have a rematch with you in the future, just you wait!”

”Su~re, a~nytime.” Toga playfully winked.

Katsuro was about to leave, when she saw something in the corner of her eyes. Under the couch, was a knife, with a weird liquid on top of it.

'You are really hiding something. But.. I guess everyone has a few secrets.'

She left Izuku's house while thinking about the whole burglary thing.

After she left, Izuku breathed out a sigh of relief.

”She looked that way, but I think she didn't see it. That was dangerous.”

”Yeah, but why didn't you just put it into that weird portal thingy. Wouldn't that save you trouble?” Toga asked.

”Well, I forgot about the knife, and the moment I heard the explosion outside I saw the knife on the ground so I quickly kicked it under the couch and rushed outside.” Izuku replied.
