When Katsuki returned with Izuku in his arms, their parents were understandably worried, especially Inko. Her husband, Hisashi, had left a year prior to these events and Izuku was all she had left. Being the emotional woman that she was, she immediately came to tears at the sight of Izuku's condition. Her and the two Bakugous rushes towards the pair and asked so many questions, Katsuki couldn't keep up. Eventually they calmed down, and Katsuki explained everything. He talked about, how they had left in the night to take a midnight stroll, something he was scolded for, seeing the dead body of the farmer, and that large dog like beast that bit Izuku.

The adults were both shocked and scared. Katsuki was the type of boy to lie, if he wanted, but seeing the blood stained shirt wrapped around Izuku's leg, and the utter terror that was plastered on his face when he came back, told the trio that he wasn't making it up. He had seen something that had ultimately scared him, quite an achievement. They didn't know what to believe, but if what he said was true, what could have done it? To them it sounded like a bear, but that was impossible, there are no bears in Japan, In fact, there are no large predators.

This was something they couldn't ignore. Mitsuki, being knowledgable in first aid, would look at Izuku while the others packed up camp. Then came another surprise. Mitsuki undid the makeshift bandage on Izuku's leg, only to find no wound, not even any scarring. She knew Izuku was definitely quirkless, according to the doctor, so if their was no wound, it meant that this was some elaborate prank performed by the both of them, or the doctor was wrong and Izuku had some sort of healing quirk. Knowing her son and seeing that Izuku had definitely passed out and is not faking, she could see that Izuku had a healing quirk. It was the only thing that could make sense. Katsuki, while he can be a good actor and lier, most certainly could not pull of genuine terror, and besides, a doctor's word isn't gospel, they can be wrong from time to time. Plus, quirks were still much of a mystery, it could be entirely possible that he was wrong.

They had packed up within half an hour, and were on their way home. They had called the police about the farmer, and hoped for his sake that Katsuki was seeing things. Mitsuki also told everyone about Izuku's healing quirk, something Inko was ecstatic about, but a little to shaken up to show it. Katsuki was happy for his friend, that he was lucky enough to get his quirk right when he needed it, and was a little jealous. He saw the wound up close, Izuku definitely had a broken bone or two, and huge chunks of his skin were torn off. The fact that it healed, not only that quickly, but the fact it didn't leave any scaring. It was truly impressive.

What the families didn't know, was that there was another man who saw everything, and had been watching from afar. Even now he saw following them in his own car, making sure he wasn't noticed.

[Author's notes]
Sorry for the short chapter, but there wasn't much to write about. Anyway, there is still the question. Who was that man that's following them, and what does he want. You're just going to have to stay tuned for the next chapter, which should be out Saturday.

That's all I got time for today folks. Peace.
