Bakugo POV


I woke up with tears in eyes. I must have been dreaming about Eijiro. I felt like I should have remembered my dream as if it was really important or something. However, when I tried to remember my dream, nothing came up. Either way, I wiped the tears from my eyes and got up.

Last night I was sure I went crazy. I was just tired. Just tired. I opened my door and noticed scratch marks on it. Damn cat. I think as I look at the scratch marks. I sighed and went to the kitchen. Then I paused. There on the counter was the Red Riot mug. It was no longer broken, glued together sloppily. I look down to notice Riot sleeping on the ground, right next to a glue bottle. The bottle was opened and almost empty.

I slowly walk closer to the mug. I pick it up, looking at it carefully. It seemed to have dried pretty well, so it wasn't fixed just now. Then I noticed a piece of the mug had something on it. It was a dark crimson and only was on the tip of the broken piece. That wasn't there before it broke, but then I got an idea.

"What if it's the blood of whoever fixed it? Maybe the person cut themselves on it well fixing it!" I yell. "Now I can figure out who the hell was able to enter my house, fix my mug, and then leave without me or Riot noticing anything." I smirk brightly. "Careless idiot." I whisper.

Suddenly, I felt something rub against my legs. I look down to see Riot, loving rubbing my legs. Then I notice it. Riot had a small bandaid on his paw. I did not put that on him. I quickly pick him up and check his paw. It was those stupid kid bandaids Eijiro always got. He always loved them. Why would the person use bandaids that I hide away and NOT the ones that was easily seen and usable. And why the hell would they put a bandaid on my fucking cat?

"What the fuck? Who put this on you?" I ask. Riot flicked his tail. I sigh and put the cat down. I'm either going crazy or someone knows their way around my house and is able to go and leave as they please. Neither is very good. 

I grab the mug and decide to bring it to my hero agency.  They would know how to deal with the blood on this mug. I quickly put on a coat and went outside. After Eijiro's death, my agency let me take a break because they knew I would not be in the best mood to work. However, knowing someone might be in my house isn't good.

I walked into my agency. "Ground Zero? Why are you here? Shouldn't you still be on break?" The lady at the front asks. "Yeah I would be if it wasn't for that fact someone is in my fucking house!" I scream and place the mug in front of her.

"Sir that's just a mug, what does that-" I interrupt her. "Oh what does that haft to do with the fact someone is my house?  I don't know. Maybe the fact I DIDN'T FUCKING FIX IT OR THAT FACT SOMEONE ELSE'S BLOOD IS ON IT!" I yell well pointing to the blood spot.

"Bakugo why are you screaming at her again?" Mina came into the main lobby, looking at me. "PINK FUCK! CHECK THIS BLOOD CAUSE SOMEONE'S IN MY FUCKING HOUSE!" I scream at her. She sighs. "Please just stop screaming. No one is in your house Bakugo. You're fine." She says calmly.

"YES THERE FUCKING IS!" I scream back. She sighs. "Fine we'll get some police to check it out." I calm down and glare at her. "You and me are both coming with them." I said. She simply nods, clearly tired from this whole thing.


Time Skip 


3 police men, me and Mina enter my house. I quickly go to my kitchen. "Here I dropped my mug a few days ago. When I woke this morning it was fixed and there was a glue bottle on the floor, opened and almost empty." I point to the a spot on the floor. I then notice the glue bottle is gone. "What? Where the hell is the glue bottle?" I scream looking at the floor in shock and fear.

The police check around the kitchen and find nothing. They look everywhere for it. They found it in a open trash can. They put it in a bag and continued searching around. They found nothing more. No way a person could get in. No way a person could get out. Nothing broken. Everything fine.

I was getting worried. Had I just imagined it? I thought. Then I remembered something and went looking around for Riot. I found him sleeping on my bed. I call to the cops and Mina. "See this morning Riot had a bandaid on his paw. One which I didn't place on him!" I scream.  Riot gets up and yawns. My face goes pale. No bandaid. No bandaid was found in the trash either after searching.

The police go to talk to Mina alone in another room. They come back awhile later. Mina looked at me, her expression unreadable. "Bakugo I knew the death of Kirishima effected you, but not this much. You seem more and more out of it each and every day. We believe we should put you in a mental hospital for your own safety." She says, a sad tone in her voice.

"What? No I'm not crazy. It happened I know it!" I scream, backing up. The policemen walk towards me as I backup into a wall. "No! Back the fuck off!" I put my hand up facing them, small explosions coming from my hand.

However, before I knew it, they put quirk canceling handcuffs on me and were dragging me away. "No! I'm not crazy! I'm not! I'm not!" They push me into their cop car, make sure I can't leave, and drive away. I stayed silent, giving up hope. Maybe I am crazy. Wouldn't that be funny Eijiro? I wonder if you're disappointed in me Eijiro.  I thought. I'm sorry Eijiro


??? POV

No no no NO! I didn't mean for this to happen! Katsuki.... I'm sorry. Mina looks at me and sighs. "I guess I haft to take care of you now. And I really thought you were making him better." She says petting me. She picks me up and smiles a soft smile. I need to follow Katsuki. I then start glowing. Oh no..

Mina looks at me confused. "Why are you glowing?" She wonders. I quickly scratch her face and run into Katsuki's room. I then turn into my neko form. I quickly hide in the closet. From what I can see, Mina comes into the room a little bit later.

"Come on Riot. I won't hurt you." She softly says. I hold my breath. She can't find me like this. She checks around the room and then walks out, still very confused. I waited till I hear footsteps going out of the house and door shutting. I sigh and come out of the closet. I quickly turn back a grab some clothes. Me and Katsuki are almost the same height so we have the same sizes.

I quickly put on a t-shirt, boxers, and some shorts. I cut a hole in the boxers and shorts for my tail. This must be what Ojiro does. I think as I look at myself. I could easily pass as a normal person with a cat quirk.

I open the window in Katsuki's room and close it on the way out. I landed in an alley way by Katsuki's house. I was luckly able to slip out of the house unnoticed and I sighed in relief. Or least that's what I thought.

"It's nice to meet the real you, Riot." Said an all too familiar voice. I turn around to see an angry looking Mina, getting ready for a fight, keeping a tough glare. I take step back, knowing how screwed I am. I've seen Mina fight and she could easily kick my ass. "Fuck." I said.
