[The Absolute Deku]

[Chapter 3: Yagi Pt1]

[No One Pov]

At the Yagi Manor, Izumi Yagi was sitting inside of her bedroom, as she was sad about what today was, it was both her birthday and the birthday of her missing brother.

It has been 8 years since Izuku Yagi has disappeared from the Yagi Manor as it was the fact that he disappeared on their birthday, making it the worst day of her life.

Every year, on her birthday, Izumi would hope that Izuku would return to her, to return to the Yagi Family, but it would never happen and the guilt ate away at her heart.

It ate away at her to know that Izuku was only able to escape so successfully because both of their parents focused solely on her, especially on her birthday, as the guilt increased.

She would recall everything that she has done to him, she could recall everything that she has said to him, and she would feel that everything she has done, was all for nothing.

All that she wanted in life was to protect her brother from the evil that heroes would face in the future and knew how he would have been killed if he did, while still quirkless.

She, along with the Bakugou and Todoroki Twins, all of them agreed that if they bully izuku to the point of no longer wanting to become a hero, then they would have stopped.

But instead, they all pushed him away to the point that he could no longer stand it and did the only thing he could do, run away from home and escape the hell that he was raised in.

Izumi was especially heartbroken to find out that Izuku knew about her feelings towards him as well as the feelings of Katsumi Bakugou and Shu Todoroki, but now, they lost it.

It was because of their actions against Izuku that he could no longer love them, as he basically told them to move on and forget about him, just like everyone else did.

While Izumi would go and forget about Izuku, it would only come back to her on her birthday, which is why she was so sad, but something strange did happen to her today.

Earlier today, Izumi witnessed her best friend, Katsumi, be captured by a Sludge Villain and none of the heroes on the scene would do anything except contain the fires or keep citizens at bay.

She wanted to help her friend, she didn't want to lose another important person in her life, but the heroes held her back, not wanting to put her in danger against the villain.

Then, she watched as the villain suddenly started retracting the sludge around it into itself, as it was forced to release Katsumi as all that stood was a naked man.

He would then watch a boy, who seems to be around the same age as her, start to walk away as something about the boy seems familiar to her as she couldn't understand it.

Since then, Izumi couldn't get the thought of that boy out of her head, as she felt like he would've been familiar to her, and yet, she was completely confused by it.

Izumi: Who was that boy? And why cant I get him out of my head?

???: Izumi! Come down here! We have something for you!

Izumi: Y-Yes! Coming!

Izumi then walked out of her bedroom before walking down the stairs, as she saw her family, friends, uncles and aunts were there.

Everyone: Happy Birthday, Izumi Yagi!

Izumi: T-Thank you... All of you...

Inko: You ok, sweetie?

Izumi: Y-Yeah. I'm fine.

Nezu: Don't lie, Izumi. I know what it is.

Toshinori: I mean, It is her birthday.

Nezu: Both hers... and His Birthday...

Everyone was sad upon hearing it, remembering that it was in fact Izuku's birthday and the 8 year anniversary of his disappearance.

Izumi: I was trying to forget it. It has been difficult. Like it has been for 8 years since he ran off and disappeared.

Nemuri: We all miss him. But the HPSC refuses to look for him.

Aizawa: All because of Izuku's quirkless status.

Nezu: I had to use my own detectives to search for him without alerting the HPSC. But they couldn't find anything that could make it easy to find him.

Katsumi: We should have never bullied him in the first place. Maybe, if we were more thoughtful and just talked with him about it, we wouldn't be in this situation.

Inko: Between the bullying and neglect, we should have at least done something. Instead, all we ended up doing was pushing him away and leaving him in the darkness of hero society.

Enji: I wish we knew what he would've looked like, if he was still here.

Rei: Yeah.

Aizawa: Izumi. Is there anything else bothering you?

Izumi: Well. Kinda. I'm not too sure.

Inko: What is it?

Izumi: Well. I've been thinking about the Sludge Villain Incident that happened earlier.

Katsumi: the one that nearly killed and almost took my body.

Izumi: Yeah. But something happened after that.

Toshinori: What do you mean?

Izumi: Well, there was this boy, who looked to be around the same age as me. And for some old reason, I have felt this familiar feeling about him.

Shoto: What kind of familiar feeling?

Izumi: I'm not entirely sure. It just felt so weird to me.

Katsuki: Maybe the boy somehow resembles Izuku and that's the familiar feeling you felt.

Izumi: That sounds possible.

Nezu: How about we continue the party and discuss this another time?

Everyone agreed as they proceeded with the party as Nezu pulled both Aizawa and Naomasa to the side as they went inside of the kitchen.

Naomasa: You know what this familiar feeling Izumi talked about, don't you?

Nezu: Yeah. I do. It's called Twin Sense. It's a special trait that only twins have.

Aizawa: Which could only mean that... The boy that she felt this familiar feeling with... Might actually be Izuku...

Nezu: Yes. But the fact that she doesn't know, is only possible if Izuku has changed his appearance since running away.

Naomasa: But Izuku had green hair and eyes when he vanished...

Nezu: But it's possible that it all would have faded, at least for his hair.

Aizawa: What's the plan?

Nezu: Keep investigating. If Izuku and the boy are the same person, we need to know.

Naomasa: Wouldn't the HPSC catch wind and try to stop us?

Nezu: That's if they even know about it. They are too arrogant and prideful to believe that Izuku might actually still be alive. Even if they did, they would see him as a risk of him exposing them, and ruin their reputation and/or even All Might's.

Aizawa: I see your point.

Nezu: Right now, they don't know. And that's our advantage. We find and locate Izuku. Then, we'll talk to him. See if he still wants to become a hero or not.

Naomasa: And if he doesn't want to become a hero?

Nezu: If he doesn't, then we'll leave him alone and let him live a normal life.

Aizawa: I just hope if he's alive, I would want to see my nephew again.

Naomasa: Me too. I'll start my investigation tomorrow.
