CHAPTER FOUR :
U.A. COLLEGE
*
The next day quickly passed. Katsumi had gotten the chance to return to Tokyo to collect her things from the apartment she lived in. Which wasn't much. She managed to fit everything into a single duffel bag, plus 3 skateboards, 2 she had managed to stuff in the bag, the other, she tucked under her arm. Though skateboarding was popular in the pre quirk era, it had been making a comeback in recent years and Katsumi had gotten into it when she was 12. Often going to hang out with other kids her age at an abandoned mall.
Midnight almost cried at the state of the run down apartment building where she had lived with a bunch of young kids that ran around without parents. Katsumi had explained to her that some elderly landlord had given the kids free rein of the property seeming as it was old and no longer passed inspections. Before leaving the apartment complex however, Katsumi had given her keys to a bunch of teenagers she knew, telling them that they no longer needed to cram 10 of them into a 2 bedroom place and that her place was all their's.
The two pros accompanying her were moved to tears by her actions. Especially when they watched the stoic, bandaged 18 year old hug a few younger children who called her Shadow and wished her a farewell. In fact, many of them thought she had finally been caught and was going to jail. Katsumi had then proceeded to tell them that she would be going to the hero college U.A. and the kids had cried happy tears, knowing that their protector was free to live another day.
She had returned to her new home with bags of clothes hanging off both hers and Nemuri's arms, the woman insisting that Katsumi call her that or Auntie. Hizashi too. His name or Uncle and Katsumi had rolled her eyes and agreed to use their first names. Even Eraser was back in his house, covered in bandages and wrapped up in a yellow sleeping bag, laying on the couch with 2 of his 4 cats sitting on his side. The sight had caused Katsumi to giggle and the 2 pros behind her to go off their rockers in shock that she was even capable of giggling like a cute girl.
In the end, their shouting had caused Eraser to kick them out and then the man had been left to help Katsumi settle in in her new room. The pair of them found it incredibly awkward. Katsumi had constantly called him Eraser the entire night as they ate a home cooked meal together. Even complimented his cooking. She hadn't seen him as the cooking type.
And in the end, he had sighed and insisted that she call him Shota in their new home and he would call her Katsumi. It had somewhat helped the awkward tension, but what broke it completely was when Shota had watched his 4 cats heard around the girl as he helped her get rid of the black hair dye, their actions had calmed him as he watched her play with them, giggling to herself. He had gone to sleep that night with a small smile on his face, like she had done.
