Problematic kitten

Chapter 19

Usagi is completely out, she didn't even flinch when Recovery Girl put cannula in her arm and made quick examine on her. She didn't find any injuries on her but frown nonetheless. Aizawa follow her movements carefully. He has tried to remember when she have saved the girl, why she look so familiar. "Eraser." Heroine's serious tone catch his attention. "Is she okay?" He ask worried. "She is but she is seriously malnourished. Reason why she basically pass out if what she told us is truth." He frown confuse. "That she fall of stairs top of that injure from explosion. Healing quirks need lots of energy." She explain.

Aizawa nod and turn to look at girl on bed again. She look so small and fragile but image of how she jump to cover Recovery Girl and then to Tanaka flash in her mind. She is way stronger than she look. Kitten has settled on her side and follow every movement of them. He snort a little when black kitten remind of him of other problem child. He still couldn't help but feel little proud how easily she seem to elude him. Kitten, Kuro, turn to look at him when he reach to gently grab the girls hand in his own.

Soon Recovery Girl sit down on her spot again and start to write. They stay in comfortable silence. Aizawa listen carefully on Usagi's steady breathing. "Eraser..." He turn to look at Chiyo, her voice sound strange. "She is the victim of that store massacre almost 7 years ago. The only survivor, her mother and sister died. You brought her on paramedics." She tell her. His eyes widen when realization hit him. Those sad dark blue eyes and heartbroken cries come back to him. He slowly turn to look at sleeping girl again and feel like shit. How he didn't recognized her after she told that he has saved her? How many times he has look directly on those eyes and didn't bother to dig deeper in his memory?

Aizawa must have squeezed Usagi's hand little too tight because she shift and grunt in discomfort. He immediately loosen his hold. Kuro glare at him but didn't move from her spot. "Do you know what happened to her after that?" "She is living with his father, there is no other records of her." He nod as answer and sigh. 

Eventually Usagi start to stir awake. She feel how her right hand feel warmer than the left, like someone is holding it? It is so foreign feeling to her that it took some time for her to realize that, that really is the case. She flutter her eyes open and turn to look at her side. She freeze in shock when Eraserhead still sit on the chair, holding gently her hand, deep in his thoughts. She blink couple times and carefully pull her hand free. That snap him out of his head and he turn to look at her. She smile little ashamed, sheepishly. "Umm... What time it is?" She ask and clear her throat. "It little past noon, you slept three hours." He answer.

Usagi's eyes widen and she shot up, almost ripping the cannula in the process. "What? That late? I need to go!" She start to panic, thinking how she should have made lunch to Mr Matsuda so he won't kick her out. Before she manage to jump from bed someone grab her shoulder and she flinch. Hand freeze for a moment but didn't move from its spot. "Kid, breathe. Everything is okay." Eraser's calm voice reassure her. 

She force herself to relax as much as possible and turn to look at the worried man with little smile. "I should have been at home before 11 am." She explain and turn to take the cannula out. He stop her. "You need those fluids. It won't take long until it is finished." He tell her sternly. She bite on her tongue to stop rushed snap from coming out. "I'm fine. Little nap was enough." She assure him and rip the cannula out. Puncture wound disappear almost immediately. She roll down her sleeve, raise the Kuro on her shoulder and move to sit on edge of bed, ignoring the man's effort to stop her.

"Usagi! Stop!" Aizawa snap finally and activate his quirk. Usagi feel dangerously familiar itch on her skin and pale when she realize what is happening. His eyes widen when on her skin where he can see start to emerge scars. His jaw drop in shock. Before he manage to open his mouth again, she already jump to move. She run out of infirmary, through hallways, doors and eventually through the gate. She run all the way to home. 

Usagi pant heavily from horror and strain. She didn't know how much he saw but clearly enough if his shocked look point at anything. She feel new tears in her eyes, last spark of hope that has light up in her snuffle out. After seeing her disgusting form, no hero would want to her become next healer. She curse to herself to ever believing in it, even for a second. "You know better. You couldn't be any use to any of them after all." She hiss to herself lastly and slap herself on cheek, hard. Kuro meow worried and she pet her quickly, reassuring her.

Usagi force her breathing to calm down and sneak to front door and put the key on keyhole. Lock didn't open. She frown and try again, nothing happen again. She start to feel new fear come in her stomach and force herself to knock on door. It didn't take long until door is yanked open and smug looking Mr Matsuda lean on doorframe. "Yes?" "Sorry to b-bother y-you, sir, bu- but my ke-key..." "Of course not. This isn't your house after all. It is mine. Your stuff are in dumpsters where they belong." He announce smugly. 

Usagi stare at her so called father in shock. "Wh-what?" "You hear me, Trash. You are out. You had one job and you fail even on that. I am not going to let you leech on me anymore. Get lost or I will make you." He threaten finally and slam the door shut. She stare at it for a moment until she slowly go to dumpsters. She open the first one and truth to his words. Her clothes and other stuff are in there. She feel wave of hopelessness wash over her, at least she had had roof over her head, now she didn't even had that. She force the sobs down, dig out best of her clothes, her vigilante suit and weapons and some equipment she need to make her pills. She put everything on one duffel bag and one backpack.

Usagi take her packs, take one last look toward the house she once thought as home, pet the Kuro who is still inside her hood and turn toward cold city. She has a mission, find a somewhat secure spot to put her things and think of what to do next.
