My Pawfect Rebirth

181: Moondance

It made sense, it finally made sense to the blond and he had only one chance to ask her and he wasn't going to lose that chance. "Deku... do you... remember our past life?"

It immediately went silent in the room and both of them stared deep into each other's eyes with shock from what they just heard each other say. 

"Wha-... What? W-What did you just say?" Izumi asked. 

"Do you... remember our past life? The life where you jumped off that roof and a Grim Reaper stopped you and changed you into a girl and changed me into a dog? Do you remember... that life?" he asked, his voice shaky but honest. 

"You-... You know all of that? B-But t-t-that's impossible! E-Emra t-told me t-that no one- no one would have t-their memories except m-me!" Izumi stuttered, as her eyes looked like she was panicking and tears were building up in her eyes like she was afraid. 

"Deku..." 

"I-I tried to make sure n-not to m-mention anything about the p-past, a-and E-Emra ensured t-that I-I would be the only o-one with m-my memories! B-But now- I-I-I don't believe-" 

"Izuku!"

Izumi lifted her head to see Katsuki standing right in front of her and he rested his hands onto her cheeks and stared deep into his Ruby Red eyes. 

"Ka-... Kacchan... Do you... Do you really remember everything?" she asked as a tear streamed down her cheeks. 

He brushed his thumbs across her cheek and wiped her tears away and leaned his head down and gently rested his lips onto her forehead. The second she felt his soft and warm lips on her skin, she couldn't stop crying and felt so much relief lift off her chest. 

"You-... You're alive..." she mumbled. He lifted his lips off her forehead and pressed his own forehead onto hers and closed his eyes. 

"Why wouldn't I be? You brought me back." he stated in a calm tone. 

"Kacchan... I've missed you... so much." 

"Not as much as I've missed you, Izuku." he said as he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tightly.

"So Takashi was the one that told you no one else had their memories of the past?" Izumi asked. 

"Yeah, but it turns out that wasn't all true, since all the Reapers and assistants still have their memories. Half N' Half has his memories too, and it's all because they're spirits." Katsuki answered. 

"Todoroki too, that's a surprise. Wait- if Todoroki has his, does Aster remember?" 

"Yeah. He told me the next day after I got drunk that one night." Katsuki said. 

"Oh... now that makes sense when you told me that." 

"Huh? Told you what?" 

"Ah- w-well... remember when you asked me if you did anything stupid when you got drunk that night?" 

"Yeah." 

"A-Actually, you did do something..." Izumi mumbled. 

"What? But you told me-" 

"I lied, and that was long before I knew you had your memories." 

"What did I do?" 

"W-Well... you did... kiss me." 

"I did?" 

"M-Mn, and you said something that back then made me curious, but now it makes sense." 

"What did I say?"
