"Speaking" 'Thinking'

Izumi practically squealed at the little girl's cuteness, she immediately took the little girl into a tighter hug. "Wait..., does this mean that I'll need a bigger apartment..." She asked looking between the three men. Aizawa simply sighed and Nezu nodded his head up and down with an overly large smile on his face.

"No need to worry Ms. Izumi, I've already asked your wonderful Land Lady about this matter. I warned her that you'd end up needing a family apartment rather than a single. She told me that she'd find you a place on one of the upper floors." Nezu told the woman. Izumi looked at the man with slight stars in her eyes.

"And I assume that you'll partly be paying for this apartment? Because I'm sure you're aware that I don't have the kind of money that that lovely woman down stairs is looking for." Izumi told the man with one of her own wonderfully bright smiles. The two of them started laughing with one another as the other people listening in started to cringe.

After a moment a sigh came from the chimera looking man. "As you wish. This was something that I had offered to the young lady after all, I can't just dump you with all of the responsibility." The man told her.

Izumi giggled triumphantly. "Now that that's settled, why don't we go and have a little chat with my lovely Land Lady. Although it is still quite early in the morning..." Izumi said as she checked the time on her phone.

"Well I suppose it shouldn't be too much of a problem, she was already up when the two of us made it here." Nezu told the woman. Izumi's face once again held a large smile. While we're at it, I'm going to have so much fun taking Eri out shopping!" Izumi spoke, excited about what she was going to do with the little girl.

"Isn't that a little dangerous, especially since people may still be after her." Toshinori butted in.

"Oh honey, you think I'd let my new baby girl go out in public without some sort of disguise?" Izumi told the man with a dangerous looking glint in her eyes.

Eri's face grew a small blush as she listened to the woman's words. 'Baby Girl' Eri repeated the words in her head. Izumi looked down at the young girl who had tightened her grip on her shirt. Izumi's smile became soft as she looked at the younger girl. The men looked at one another and knew that this was the right choice.

The four of them made their way downstairs to where they knew the older woman would be waiting for them. Before they knew it, they were lead to a higher floor that held four larger sized apartments. The older woman opened the door to one of the apartments leading to a some what two story apartment.

"..., Isn't this a little over kill..." Izumi asked looking down at both the Chimera looking man and the older woman who both huffed at the girl's answer.

"What does that matter, I'll be the one paying for your living expenses anyway why not at least make it worth it." The rat like man told the girl. Izumi sighed then brought Eri into the large open apartment. It was a lot more spacious than the other apartment. Her apartment was a small three room apartment, those three rooms being the combined kitchen and living room, the bathroom, and her actual bedroom. But this place was just..., large. There were two bedrooms, a large living room separated from the kitchen, and a large office along with two bathrooms.

"I guess I could get used to this place." Izumi said, satisfied with the interior.

Eri on the other hand couldn't help but let her excitement out, this large place would be her new home. It would be the place where she could live freely and how she wanted to with her new..., mother. 'Mother...' Eri thought. The younger girl looked up at the older woman who had a satisfied expression on her face. The older woman indeed looked like her, the only difference was her eyes and a small difference in facial structure.

However they both shared their large eye shape, and the color of their hair was the same. Maybe people would actually believe that this woman was her mother. Eri looked at the hand that was attached to hers. She felt warm and comfortable. Like this was exactly where she belonged. Eri's smile grew slightly wider as she thought about that.

Izumi looked down at the little angel holding onto her. She knelt down and picked her up. "Well? what do you thing?" Izumi asked.

"I like it..., it's really nice here." Eri told her. In truth, Eri couldn't care less where she stayed anymore, just as long as this woman was the one taking care of her. "I want to live here with you..., Is that alright?" Eri asked.

Izumi chuckled at the girl's question. "Like hell I'd live in a place like this without you." Izumi responded. Aizawa grumbled at the use of inappropriate language.

The semi long exchange between the group lasted for a while until Toshinori and Nezu decided to take off, on the other hand the Land Lady had already received her pay and handed over the keys to Izumi. Leaving only Izumi, Eri, and Aizawa to roam around the place freely. "It's going to take a while to move your furniture up to this place isn't it?" Aizawa asked.

Izumi shook her head. "Don't worry about that, all of my furniture isn't really needed, all I need is my equipment and a couple of other things. Speaking of which, I need to go on a bit of a shopping spree for this little one." Izumi told the man as she happily held on to the little girl who had long since fallen asleep in her arms.
