Third Person's POV:

Katsuki stepped out of the warp gate, just to find himself in the middle of a forest.

Yui let out a yawn as she was sitting on a big rock. "Took you long enough."

"I thought we were going to your house."

"We are." She stood up and lazily dusted her pants. "It's not far from here." She began to walk deeper into the forest.

Katsuki was confused but nevertheless, he followed her. On their way to Yui's house, he quietly enjoyed the smell of wet soil and grass. The calm breeze and the fresh air put him at ease.

It didn't take them too long to reach the end of the forest and boy...the boy was speechless. Right in front of him was a beautiful emerald green meadow which led towards a big two-story high contemporary house that rested on top of a cliff.

Yui grabbed Katsuki's wrist and took him closer to the house. The architecture was splendid with a flat roof and a lot of sharp angles. The charcoal grey walls as well as the huge glass panels made it look like it had a touch of elegance and a minimalistic feel.

Yui grined. "Welcome to the Kurokami's humble home!"

"This...is amazing...," he mumbled.

"I know right! My parents designed it themselves!"

"And I can't believe reporters haven't found this masterpiece yet!"

Yui giggled. "Of course they haven't. Wanna try and guess where we are?"

"Sure, I guess...."

She smirked. "I'll give you a clue. We're in the Yamanashi Prefecture near Mount Fuji."

"Near Mount Fuji? The only forest near that is—" Katsuki stopped himself. His eyes widened in realization.

"I know what you're thinking and it's 100% correct! We're in the middle of the Aokigahara forest, also known as the Sea of Trees."

"THE SUICIDE FOREST?!" he yelled in shock. "WHY THE FUCK WOULD SOMEONE BUILD A HOUSE HERE?!"

The girl laughed at his reaction. "Relax, Sparky! You're gonna scare the birds away. Besides, the suicide part is made up by the residents here to keep people away."

"There are others living in this forest?!"

"Yup!" she replied while popping the 'p'. "The wolf hybrids live here too. Both tousan and kaasan are wolf hybrids. After they got married, the elders allowed them to build a house here, hidden away from the public eye. The coolest part is that there's an illusion barrier covering the whole entire forest. That's why the satellites can't see this eye-catching house!"

"That still doesn't explain the fact that this fucking place is one of the world's most-used suicide sites!"

Yui gave him a half shrug. "Like I said, the residents here made that up. The people found in this forest weren't dead because of suicide. They were bad and evil people killed by the wolf hybrids. The Hero Association just hid that fact from the world so it won't cause any panic."

"This is so much to process...." Katsuki ran his hand through his spiky ash-blond hair.

'His hair looks soft...,' she thought absentmindedly.

Earth to Yui! Yuu said, pulling her back to reality. Are you gonna stand in front of the door forever?

'Right....' She summoned her keys and unlock the door. "Let's head in, Sparky!"


Katsuki's POV:

When I entered the house, I was dumbfounded once again. If the exterior is amazing, the interior is even more breathtaking.
