Problematic kitten

Chapter 8

Usagi tied the man up and left him near the police station before heading home. She pop one sugar pill in her mouth to ease the tiredness of her quirk but it only help a little. She sigh when they get to her house and look up. "I don't really have a choice, do I?" She mumble, steel herself and climb up the wall. It took longer than normally but eventually she get to the roof. Kuro jump out of her hoodie after that and look around. "Yeah, I know. View is nice if nothing else." She say to the kitten and open the window. She climb inside and left it open for the cat.

Usagi quickly took a shower, did her business and walk back to her bedroom. Kuro has decided to come inside and lick themselves happily on bed. She snort and smile before moving to sit down next to them. She carefully start to pet the cat and it allow it. She quickly raise its leg to look the gender and chuckle. "Should have known that you are a girl. Girls and underdogs, or undercats, stick together." Kuro lick her hand quickly before curling in small ball. She smile to the kitten and turn toward her computer.

"Trigger, huh? Maybe that drug I heard about." Usagi mumble while starting the machine. She start to search about it and gasp. There actually is a drug that can boost a quirk? She frown. "It cannot be good. That villain was completely out of control, her rage has taken over. Is that the price of using it? Getting swallowed by the rage?" She mumble while reading through website after the website, eventually she is deep in dark net and stumble across the website that sell 'Quirk booster'. She frown again and make couple more barriers so no one can track her down before she clicked the link.

Usagi gasp in shock. There is couple videos how it works, you just have to inject it in yourself and boost is guaranteed. She look at couple videos how people use it and feel sick, every single one of them look furious beasts, only in their eyes because video quickly end before they can actually attack anyone. She quickly shut the website, check her computer that there isn't anything there shouldn't be and shut the computer down. She sigh and pinch bridge of her nose. "That is so messed up." She grunt.

Then idea come to her. If someone can make quirk booster maybe she can make heal booster? Maybe she can evolve her healing pill. On that she has only used little bit of her blood to help little injuries to heal faster, what if she can make similar injection as them? Her brains start to buzz around the idea. Before she can make anything sensible her brains start to complain about exhaustion. She sigh and rub her nose. "I need to at least inform police about the website." She murmur and write down in little notebook what she has find. "I will deliver it to some hero or to police tomorrow. Now I need sleep." She mumble and slouch to bed. Soon she curl next to Kuro and pull blanket over both of them. Kitten move closer to her warmth and she let little smile come to her face.

Usagi wake up in late morning and jump out of her bed. House is suspiciously quiet. She did her business, change in green hoodie and black pants and sneak downstairs. There is no new bottles, no trashes, no Mr Matsuda. She frown confuse and look in the fridge, he hasn't touch any of food either. She feel bang in her chest and rush to his room. No one has slept in it after she made it yesterday. Finally she rush to Hisako's old room. There only was a note on the table. She hesitantly walk to there and take it in her shaking hand. Top of it only one word Trash. She open it like in trance and start to read.

Trash

If you found this, congratulations. You finally disappointed me enough and I can't even tolerate you anymore. I found new woman in next town and moved to there. You can have the whole house, there is nothing I need or want. You have a job so pay the bills and don't ever bother me again. I don't want to hear from you, you are dead to me.

You hear me! You. Are. Dead. To. Me.

Usagi read the note couple more times before collapsing on her knees. She is completely alone. He has left her too. She didn't notice the tears until first drop on her hand. She carefully touch her cheeks and feel the wetness. She is crying, she is actually crying after that man. She feel how rest of her hearth break down in little pieces while silent tears roll down. She didn't have the strength to stop them, cry out or scream. She didn't have anything anymore.

Usagi didn't know how long she has been on floor but after the tears has dried out she force herself on her feet again. She look around in Hisako's room and sigh tiredly. "Well, things could be worse. I still have roof over my head." She mumble and walk to the hallway closing the door after her. She didn't want to look at other empty rooms so she go in kitchen.

Usagi walk around the house for next couple hours, like a ghost, still not quite believing that he left her. Completely and utterly alone. Suddenly something meow and push against her legs. She look down and see Kuro. "Oh, right. I am not alone. I got you and we are going to look after ourselves." She say weakly and smile even more weakly to the kitten. She meow and turn toward kitchen. She sigh and follow her. 

"Of course you know where the food is in this house." Usagi say while trying to smile but couldn't do it. She is too tired and empty to even fake smile, something she has mastered years ago. She pull out the canned tuna, open it and give it to Kuro while she take one of the sandwiches Mr Tanaka has given to her and force herself to eat. They eat in silence and slowly she start to get over the fact that she is alone. 

Usagi turn toward Kuro and sigh. "It doesn't really matter. I have been alone for over five years now. I soon turn 15, I have part time job and I have job to do. I need to find a hero to deliver what I found." She say and nod. "And look for the possibility to evolve my pills." She murmur lastly while idea of combination of sugar and caffeine pills come to her. "That could be even more effective." She murmur, grab a piece of paper and pencil from the drawer and start to make a formula of how to do it. Kuro lick her lips and look at her curiously from her spot on the table next to now empty canned tuna.
