Healer Vigilante/barista (Vigilante Izuku)- Discontinued-

A Little Unsettled... | Chapter 37

"Speaking" 'Thinking'

Izumi looked around carefully. She knew that there were always people that would spot her when ever she jumped from roof to roof. Especially those that were under her influence. 

However, this time something just felt so off. It felt wrong to be stared at by this being, almost to the point of feeling violated by someone's eyes...

Izumi carefully moved towards her apartment, jumping down from the roof that she had found herself stopping on. For only a second she was free from that piercing unsettling gaze. Unfortunately it returned a moment later.

Izumi sighed, she knew that she was going to be found out at some point anyway, it wasn't like she was trying all that hard to hide it in the first place. It just annoyed her that someone of this kind, found themselves under her influence. The feeling was almost sickening.

Izumi simply sighed and walked in through the back door of her apartment complex. The lovely front desk lady simply grunted at her then looked back at an old desk top computer that sat on the counter. Izumi passed the woman and went up the stairs. 

However before she could make it the older woman spoke up. 

"Who is that!?" The older woman hollered in surprise at the site of the young fox girl. Izumi was startled at the woman's raised voice. She turned around and remembered that she had a little fox now tailing behind her after setting her down outside of the building.

The young girl was adamant on following her around. "I'm Little Jiu, I'm mommy's daughter." Jiu spoke up as she looked at the old lady. The woman just sat back down in her chair, no longer wanting to get involved. Though that didn't mean that she wouldn't tattle on Izumi to the lovely rat that pays her quite the sum of money each month.

Izumi huffed at the woman's now bored expression and grabbed a hold of Jiu's hand, bringing her with her towards an elevator leading to the upper floors. Jiu held a small smile as she willingly followed behind her. 

Jiu looked up at the woman carrying her soon to be little sister, with an expression Izumi's only ever seen Eri give. Almost like admiration, or... 'I don't know...' Izumi thought to herself as she continued to walk towards the elevators. 

It was already really late, stopping and looking around didn't help much for time. Especially now that she knows someone possibly dangerous has her address.

Izumi got to the elevator and unhooked her hand from Jiu's. She pressed a button and walked inside, signaling Jiu to do the same. As the three were peacefully in the elevator Izumi pressed a button and hurried to get back to her apartment. She didn't have a clue what she was going to do with another kid. 

Though certain thoughts went through her mind as she remembered that the little girl is also a vigilante. Izumi smiled at her thoughts, holding onto the girl's outstretched hand just a bit tighter as thoughts went easily through her mind.

Jiu didn't question a single thing and just went along happily with the woman's every action.

-

The three made it to Izumi's apartment and quickly got the door open, not wanting to keep that stare on them for much longer. "You felt that too, didn't you?" Izumi questioned as she walked further into the apartment.

Jiu nodded her head as a serious expression crossed onto her face. "They don't seem like they want to kill, but at the same time, they don't seem like their friendly either..." Jiu answered honestly. Izumi nodded. She went over and made sure that the door was locked securely, along with all windows, and other methods of entrance into the apartment.

"Alright, what are your plans kid." Izumi asked. She thought about quite a few ideas for the new kid if she planned to stay, but at the same time she wasn't about to keep a kid here if she didn't want to be.

"I'm not leaving!" Jiu slightly shouted. Eri slightly grumbled and moved around at the noise, which quickly shut Jiu up. "eep- Sorry..." She spoke.

Izumi sighed and gave the girl a small chuckle. "It's up to you, kid. I'm not forcing you to leave or to stay. You know who I am anyway, what would be the point in kicking you out now." The woman questioned with a smirk.

Jiu was surprised. No one wanted her around, not even her master stayed around. Jiu's eyes slightly started to sting. Tears began to form in the corners of her eyes as she nodded her head furiously. 

"I'm staying!" She spoke, "I- I don't want to leave you." 

Izumi held yet another motherly expression. She's not sure how this ended up happening, her becoming a mother in a matter of three or four days. It didn't matter though, she would except them with open arms. That doesn't mean that she runs an orphanage though...

"That's good, that means that you and Eri here are now sisters." Izumi told the girl. Jiu's face lit up at the thought, she'd never had a sibling before. Just the idea of having a younger sister was thrilling to her.

"Now you should know something, Eri's been through a lot, something that no little girl should ever have to go through..., you need to be careful around her alright?" Izumi asked. Yet again Jiu furiously shook her head with a determined look. 

"I swear I'll make sure that Eri is safe!" She spoke in a slightly loud whisper, trying her best not to wake up Eri.

Izumi chuckled at the girl.

-

Izumi walked up to her room, Jiu following behind her, looking at each wall as if they came form a museum. Izumi laughed at the girl's curiosity of the house. 

Izumi made her way to her room, slightly creaking the door open, just to be surprised with Aizawa already fast asleep in her bed. 'What the hell.' Izumi thought to herself as she saw the man just lying there peacefully, even though he's clearly not in his own home.

Izumi grumbled to herself as she walked into the room. She got Eri changed and placed the little girl in Aizawa's arms, him snatching her quickly. She was like some kind of teddy bear to him.

Izumi sighed at the man, then turned to look at Jiu who was slightly concerned about the man lying in her mother's bed. "Who is he?' She asked confused.

Izumi was slightly shocked she hadn't seen him before. Aizawa is always around her, speaking of which, she could have sworn that he said he had something to do tonight...

Izumi turned to Jiu and chuckled at her own thoughts. "No need to worry, he's just a friend that tends to sneak in here to take a nap. Now then, why don't we find you some clothes to change into. You can go take a quick shower while you're at it." Izumi hinted the direction of the bathroom to her.

Jiu nodded her head and quickly made her way to the bathroom. It had been a while since she was last able to take an actual shower. Jiu didn't remember the last time she did at her old parent's house.

-

Izumi placed a pair of her own pajamas on the toilet seat in the bathroom, along with a towel for when she gets out. Izumi quickly changed herself and got ready for Jiu to get out of the shower.

When she did, she found herself staring at a little girl with fox ears and bright orange hair. A pair of matching glowing orange eyes stared up at Izumi with a slightly loving expression. Izumi's heart swelled as she looked at the little fox ears that twitched at every move the girl made.

"Alright, let's head to bed okay?" She asked as she went towards the bed. Aizawa was still fast asleep, holding onto Eri like his life depended on it. Izumi chuckled at the man, then turned towards Jiu and beckoned for her to come over.

Jiu was hesitant, but walked over to the bed. Izumi quickly wrapped the girl in a tight hug and dragged her into the bed with her. Still holding onto the girl tightly, now in a laying position.

Jiu was startled and slightly scared of what was happening, but quickly calmed down when she felt the heat of her mother's body on her back. The covers of the bed were swiftly put over the two and Izumi slightly loosened the hug on the younger girl.

- 

All four people in the room were fast asleep, only leaving a staring person to stay awake and watch them throughout the night.
