Problematic kitten

Chapter 2

Usagi stop in the entry of the alley and see man trying to strip woman down. He has put his hand over her mouth while his fingers has turned to blades and he cut her jacket with some difficulties. Usagi curse under her breath and look around. "Just my luck, no heroes." She curse silently again and grab board from ground and sneak behind the man. One firm hit in the man's head and he drop on the ground. She kick him further from panicking woman while throwing now useless board on ground before helping her up. "Are you okay?" She ask and look her quickly up, only little cuts can be seen here and there, nothing too dangerous. Woman sob and nod. "Good, call the police. I don't know how long that will keep him unconscious." She command and push woman behind her when man groan.

Usagi curse her luck and take a step back. Woman is still in shock and hasn't even reach to get her phone. "Call the police, now!" She command again and nudge her shoulder. That snap her out of it and she go to street while getting her phone out. Man shake his head and turn to look at Usagi with burning eyes. "You really has to ruin my fun kid?" He grunt and stand up. She grit her teeth and move on battle stance. She isn't going to let the man to escape and try to hurt someone else. Flashes of her death family members come to her mind and she shake her head to get rid of those. 

Man smirk and turn all his fingers to knives. Usagi gulp but hold her position, only moving her weight better over her feet to move faster. "Aren't you going to run? I would prefer to get away from here without murder charges." Man threaten and swing his right hand toward her. She didn't move, knowing that he couldn't reach her from there. Man frown a little until amused smile spread to his face. "Are you trying to be vigilante kid? You cannot be serious." He laugh and start to walk toward her. 

Usagi has met enough bullies and thugs to know that this man didn't really know how to fight. Probably too used to the fact that his quirk make most of people to submit or run. His smile grew wider and he swing his arm. She dodge and kick his knee. He grunt in pain while dropping on his knee. She has pulled back immediately after impact and wait for his move. Same time she try to listen to the sirens or something that would indicate that help is on its way. Man turn to look at her furious. She gulp again but force herself to stay calm. Cutting is nothing she hasn't felt before. Man rush in attack. 

Usagi move out of his way while tripping him on his stomach. He managed to slash her arm but she ignore the familiar pain. He fall with loud thud. She immediately jump top of him and hit his pressure point behind his head. She pant and wait will he stand up again. He stay down. She let her fists to fall and stumble away from him. She didn't know why the information of pressure points come to her but she is grateful of that self-defense book she red some years ago. "Maybe I should read more books like that." She chuckle and shake her head when adrenaline start to come down. Then she hear sirens and her eyes widens. "Shit! They can't arrest me. Dad would kill me!" She whisper-yelled in panic and look around. 

There is fire escape stairs and she immediately rush to there. It didn't take long until she is on roof and glance down. Woman seem to explain what happened to one officer while other officer and one hero, is that Rock Lock?, secure the man. She would have gone full fan girl mode but she notice that someone is coming toward her through roofs. She feel panic rise again and look around. Only way out is through roofs, so she move to get some speed and jump to next buildings roof. It didn't take long until she is far from there and she didn't hear or sense anyone coming after her. She sigh in relief and decide to head home.

Usagi's wounds has already healed when she got home but pain still lingers. She hiss couple times on her way up the wall to get to her room. She pull herself on roof and sneak to the window. House is already quiet, she has seen Mr Matsuda passed out on couch. 

He has forbidden her to call him dad or father, he said that he won't have someone as useless and worthless as his daughter. Not like she even would want to call him that. It has stung couple times but when she has thought about it, he has never been her father. Just someone who is forced to tolerate her.

Usagi slip inside her room and look around sadly. He has destroyed some of her machines and bottles but luckily nothing too important. She sigh and quickly clean the mess before opening her computer. There is no way she could sleep now, not after old memories surfaced like that. Top of that, what that man has said stick in her mind. Vigilante, what is that and why he thought she would be that? She start to research the subject.

After couple more hours Usagi start to smile. Vigilantism sound something she would like to try. There is no way she can be a hero, not with her quirk but vigilante? That is totally different story. She can help people out of messes, it doesn't matter if she got hurt obviously, she can heal. She could use her parkour skills to run from villains and call heroes. Her quirk couldn't hurt others so technically she won't break any laws. She has been thinking what she should do after middle school, there is no way Mr Matsuda would pay her high school when she could just go online. He has even threaten to throw her out as soon as she graduate and she is actually fearing for that.

Usagi has thought about getting a job so her little income will convince him not to throw her out. She still need a place where to sleep and she rather sleep in bed than on streets. She brush her fingers through her hair and groan. Feeling familiar tiredness finally catching up on her. "I will think about both of things tomorrow, after school. I should go to library to read some of self-defense books as well as anatomy books. Those pressure points will be useful for someone as small as me." She murmur, shut her computer and flop on bed. "Three hours sleep will be more than enough." She mumble while setting the alarm and close her eyes.
