Problematic kitten

Chapter 27

Usagi hold her backpack against her chest tightly whole ride. She is too stressed and anxious to talk with Yamada or Aizawa, they tried to ask her some things but she didn't even hear them. Men share a worried look but decide to let her be. Kuro has moved on her shoulder again to look outside the window. It is curious.

Eventually they turn to private road and after some time, Aizawa stop front of big house. Men step out. Usagi stare at the house in shock. It is two story house and forest start right behind it. There is huge yard around them. She snap out of her thoughts when Yamada open her door. She glance at the man and quickly open her seat belt and jump out of the car. Kuro meow in disagreement of sudden movements and jump on ground. "Sorry Kuro." She say to the cat and it scoff to her before walking toward entrance. She snort to the cat and turn hesitantly to look at Yamada. "It is okay Little Listener. You are welcomed." He reassure her.

Usagi nod, take deep breath and walk next to Yamada to entrance where Aizawa wait for them. They let her walk inside first, she take of her shoes and step further inside. She gasp in shock and freeze. There is huge living room on her left with stairs on its corner and huge kitchen on her right. Kitchen only is larger than her whole attic in old house. She take couple steps further inside and feel so out of place. This place is for heroes, worthy people not someone dirty and... worthless like her. 

Usagi hug her backpack tighter. Hand come to her shoulder and she flinch. "It is your home as well." Aizawa say, like he has red her mind. "I... not sure." She mumble and lower her head. "Come on. We will show you around and then you can go to sleep or do whatever you want. It is almost 4 am after all." Yamada cut them and smile widely. She nod and follow eager hero around. Downstairs have living room, kitchen, bathroom and a toilet as well as laundry room. Second floor has three bedrooms, which each has own bathroom, and little family room.

Yamada stop front of last bedroom, opposite side of theirs, and turn to smile at Usagi. "This is yours. You can decorate it like you want." He announce and push the door open. She hesitantly walk inside and look around. It is big, way bigger than her old. There is king-sized bed, wardrobe and dresser, desk and new computer top of it. She look around amazed and in shock. Kuro has followed them around and seem to realize what is her new space, she immediately jump on bed. She turn to look at them with trembling lower lip and tears in her eyes. They frown and share a look.

"This cannot be for me." Usagi argue weakly. "It is, we prepared it to you as soon as we found out that you are abused and your so called father has kicked you out." Yamada answer. She hug the backpack tighter, so hard it hurt and shake her head. "I don't deserve this, any of this." She argue, trying to make them see sense. "You don't like it?" Aizawa ask for everyone's surprise. She snap her head up and stare at him. "Like it? I would love something like this." "Then it is yours." "Why?" She sob and hide her face in backpack. 

Usagi tremble from the sobs that force their way out of her chest. She couldn't understand why these two heroes want anything to do with her, not to mention let her stay in their house. Aizawa start to untangle her arms while Yamada has moved to pet her head and try to encourage her to look at them. She let him take her backpack, her shield, away but refuse to open her eyes or look at them. Tears stream down her face while she desperately try to stay as still as possible, her whole body tremble for the effort. 

Gently Yamada pull her head against his chest, letting her tears wet his shirt while Aizawa hold her hand and carefully stroke back of it with his thumb. She start to sob, squeeze Aizawa's hand while other grab front of Yamada's shirt, hard. Like she is making sure that they really are here, not her imagination and not leaving her. She feel how Yamada kiss top of her head and more tears burst out. No one has done that since mom died and it brought up some old memories. 

Usagi press harder against Yamada's chest and he wrap his free arm around her shoulders while other continue to hold her head carefully. She didn't know how long they stayed like that, eventually her tears dry out and sobs stop. She give one more squeeze with her hands before taking a step back. "Sorry." She mumble ashamed and look down. "I already caused problems." She whisper mortified and rub her arm anxious. 

"Never apologize about showing your emotions and how you feel." Aizawa say same time as Yamada say "There is nothing to be sorry, kid." She slowly raise her head to look at the heroes and nod. Not really convincingly but they decide to take it this time. "Like said earlier, this is yours. There is bathroom and there already is fresh towels if you want to take a shower or bath as well as some shampoo and soap. You can always ask if there is something you don't know. As we told you, our bedroom is opposite of yours." Yamada say with smile and she nod. "I think I try to get some sleep after quick shower?" She offer. "That is fine. You can do whatever you want." Aizawa say and nod.

Usagi say goodnight to the heroes and close the door. She turn to look around one more time. Kuro lay on bed, stretched herself as long as she can and clearly enjoy the space. She snort amused to the cat and walk to open the bathroom door. Her jaw drop. It is also huge. There is bathtub AND a shower, separated, as well as huge counter next to sink. She rub her eyes and look around again. Image stay same. She pinch herself and still no change. "This is like a dream, better enjoy it as long as it lasts." She mumble to herself and take a shower.
