My Old Hero

7: A Familiar Face

'Why did I say that to mom, now she's going to want to know who I'm meeting up with. Well, it's not all that bad since it is Kacchan.' she thought. 

Just as she was walking down the street, she accidentally bumped into an older woman that was holding a couple bags. 

"Ah- I'm so sorry!" 

"It's okay, I'm not an old lady-" Izumi and the older woman froze when they made eye contact. 

"Inko?"

 "Mrs. Bakugo, I'm so sorry to run into you like this. It's me, Inko's daughter, Izumi." Izumi said with a bow. 

"Izumi? Ahh- Katsuki's childhood friend!?!? How did I not notice you sooner?!?!" she yelled. 

"It's okay, but I'm really sorry for bumping into you, here, I'll help you." Izumi said, grabbing one of the bags.

"Izumi you're so sweet, compared to my brat who wouldn't help even if he did know them. But I could have sworn your name was Izuku?" 

"I changed it when I went to America, so now I go by Izumi." Izumi said. 

"That's right, I forgot your mother told me you were going to America to study and become a hero. How are you doing recently?" Mitsuki asked. 

"I'm doing well, I came back to Japan a couple years ago but I  just went to visit my mom." Izumi said. 

"How is your mother doing then, I haven't contacted her since my son became Number 1 hero. Can you believe it, my son is the Number 1 hero. He may be a hot head, but he's a very strong hero. Have you seen my son recently? He's gotten pretty handsome. Oh what am I saying, he told me he's seeing someone now and I get to meet them tonight! I'm so proud of him, he finally got himself a girlfriend after all these years." Mitsuki said.

"Funny you say that... I'm actually his girlfriend..." Izumi said. 

Mitsuki stopped in her tracks and looked at her. 

"So you'll be seeing me for dinner tonight!" Izumi said, with a warm smile. 

Mitsuki dropped the bag she was holding and hugged Izumi. 

"Mrs. Bakugo, are you okay?" 

"Okay, am I okay... of course I'm okay! I've been trying to find the perfect girl that was like you for years! And now I finally hear that you're my son's girlfriend! I've been waiting for this day for so long! Hurry, we need to get home and start dinner before he comes." Mitsuki said, had her bag in one hand and Izumi's hand in the other. 

"Let's just act like we met by accident, I don't want Katsuki to know you recognized me right away." 

"That's a deal!" Mitsuki said.

Katsuki put the formal suit on, but didn't like the coat for some odd reason. 

'Why did I pick this one? It doesn't suit me at all. Curse that Icy Hot prick, why would he want her phone number anyway? Ahh- it's almost time, so where is she?' he thought. 

He had to adjust his tie and carried the coat under his arm. He was getting impatient, so he pulled out his phone and dialed her. 

To his surprise, she didn't answer, and he was getting pissed. 

'Don't tell me she fucking bailed at the last minute. She's gonna regret this!' he thought. He started walking all the way back to his old home and stopped right in front of the door. 

He looked at the time; 7:03, she's late. 

'Damnit, now I'm in trouble.' he thought.

He opened the door and heard the sound of laughter coming from the kitchen.
