A Hollow's Rencarnation: An Izuku Yagi Story

十三: Instinct

(Hello my readers, I have lived to write another  chapter. I've been busy with grinding for my queen Furina and trying to get somewhere with my character planning for my future original(?) work. I hope you all have a day that doesn't suck ass, and have a official wallpaper of queen Furina I guess.)

All Might and Zangetsu stood in the fountain center of the U.S.J while everyone else was evacuating and other heros and police started to investigate how Shigaraki and his associates had gotten into the facility. Nobody had gone up to hear what the two were talking about, since the teen wasn't hurt and maybe was having an important conversation with the number one hero.

"Why did you kill that thing? What if that was a person you just killed!" All Might all but yelled at the teen, his usual smile now in a frown. His bright blue eyes stared directly at the teens eyes, trying to read his expression and find any sign of remorse but he couldn't find anything like that. The emotion All Might couldn't see in Zangetsu's eyes wasn't remorse or guilt, but instead there was a sort of sadistic glee shining in the teen's eyes.

A smile started to show itself on the albino's face before he started to laugh. His laugh didn't sound human at all, the sound practically echoing around them. It was as if Zangetsu himself wasn't human in the slightest. "I killed it because I wanted to, and because if I didn't, Aizawa would be in a more critical condition as well from how much longer it took you to get here than it did me. I also just wanted to test my Cero on something strong to see how much more powerful I've gotten with this," the teen replied with a crazy grin, pointing to the black horn on the left side of his head.

"Because you wanted to? Because you wanted to!?" All Might was shocked, hearing that from a teenager having zero care for potentially taking a life was very concerning and something Nezu must have known for a while. "That isn't an excuse for what you just did! You should be expelled from U.A for this!"

"And you shouldn't be a hero anymore," Zangetsu shot back at the blonde hero, his grin instantly gone and replaced with an expression that emanated hatred. All Might barely knew this kid, and he holds this much hate for him. What did he do to deserve this much hate?

The teen then turned away from All Might, disappearing with a quiet static sound. He reappeared inside his dorm room at U.A, laying down on his futon as he groaned in frustration. That man won't change, will he, Zangetsu had thought to himself.

His gaze landed on his bonsai, Ichigo, and he sighed. He had almost forgotten to water it, so he got up and put a bit of water into the plant's soil. "I swear, that man will get what he deserves. But for now, I have other matters on my hands."

Nezu sat in his office, having his fourth cup of green tea of the day as he filled out the paperwork that was sitting on his desk. Everything was calm from what had happened earlier with the phone call, but something he would have never expected to happen would be All Might storming into his office through his door with an angered expression on his face. "Toshinori, what's with the anger?"

"Nezu, how can you allow someone like Zangetsu to be in this school?! That kid is a sociopath!" The blond shouted at the chimera, his face red and steaming with anger. You could boil a kettle full of water on his head from how angry he was.

The chimera sighed as he placed his cup of tea on his desk, hopping off of his chair to get closer to All Might. "Hey, no need to be so angry with me. It's not even 5 P.M. yet and you storm into my office. Now tell me why you think Zangetsu is a sociopath. Enlighten me a little," Nezu responded calmly to the streaming blond hero.

"Well, as I got into the U.S.J to see if everyone was alright, but when I made it inside, I didn't expect to see what I did. He had killed something- someone, I don't exactly know if that thing was entirely human or not. But still, he killed something and didn't feel any sort of remorse for his actions! He looked excited and proud that he did what he did, and I think that could lead to him harming the students or others in the future. My suggestion would be that we at least try to get him some sort of help, like a therapist, just anything to help him get over or tame what is going on inside that kind of his," All Might explained to Nezu, slowly calming down as he talked.

Nezu pondered the other's words as he continued to talk. His point was valid, Zangetsu wasn't the most stable of people, but he hasn't attacked anyone randomly yet. "Fine, I'll consider your point. If that is all you have, may I ask you to please leave my office?"

All Might nodded and left the office, closing the door of the office behind him. Once the door was fully shut, his anger started to rise like before. He hasn't ever dealt with a kid like this, or kids at all for that matter. His thoughts continue to wander before his eyes widen and his face goes from anger to realization. He had dealt with a child, a child that he hadn't seen since the day after he and the child left the hospital because the child got injured. The more he thought of the child, all he could remember about them was that it was a boy with white hair and skin as well as black and white eyes, exactly like Zangetsu.

"Wait a second, Zangetsu looks like an older version of- what was his name again? But still, he looks exactly like my kid, but I thought he was dead? Oh, what would Inko think of me for forgetting the name of our child and basically abandoning him!?" He starts to cry in his hands as he just imagines how his late wife would react to knowing that he had hated and abandoned their only son because he couldn't see him as the last and most precious gift she could ever give him. "I should at least go apologize for the things I've done, then maybe we can be a family for once."

Tears stopped flowing from his eyes after he said those words, a small smile forming on his face as he started to walk to the student dorms. Yeah, he thought to himself, maybe we can be a family like how Inko wanted us to be.
