The Little Sunflower

A Run-in with The 18+ Hero

^^^^^ Still Aizawa's POV ^^^^^^
"First order of business", the other black haired man starts, "what happened? What did you observe?"

I sigh.

"When I went in, it seemed as if they had already vacated the place... they knew we were coming.."

The man opposite me sighs and tilts his head, creating a shadow-like effect which obscures his facial features from my view.
"I supposed as much... they are crafty."
He sighs and rests his chin on his now propped up palm.
"The question is; why didn't they take the kid?"

The question hangs pregnant in the air, none of us having an answer to it.

Tsukauchi runs his other hand (that is not being used to hold his head up) through his short black hair in frustration.

I sigh again.
It seems that I'll be doing a lot of that from now on.

"I didn't see anyone except from the kid and a woman that seemed like she worked there. She was about 5ft 4inches and had medium length black hair. Her face was covered with a black scarf and her eyes were blurred when I glanced at her".

"That's not a lot to go on", the man says with a frown, exasperated.
"Did you find any information on their projects?"
"No", I reply, "they had almost cleared out the place entirely. The only thing I found was an empty folder with the kid's picture and a name, 'Iris Aiko'"

A heavy silence envelops the dark room making the two occupants of said room tense.

Creeeaak.....

The slow creak of the door opening catches the attention of the two ravenettes in the room, making them both rapidly turn to face the source of the noise; both bodies in a fighting stance just to see...

a little sunset-colour haired child standing there, a small slightly tanned hand on the door handle.

^^^^Sunset haired child's POV^^^^

The black haired woman keeps making strange unknown noises and poking my cheeks while repeating the words; 'so cute' and 'so adorable' over and over again.

After a while, she takes my hand and leads me through many dull off-gray hallways to a see-through glass door with only a few people on its other side. As soon as we enter, I immediately ask her the question that I have been very very confused about since the moment she opened her mouth..

"What does 'adorable' and 'cute' mean?"

She makes another sound from her mouth and jumps up and down, but when other people turn to look at her, she changes her pose entirely.

I let a giggle slip from my mouth only to start giggling when she lifts me up and twirls me around in a circle. Then, I really start giggling.

The woman makes an unfamiliar face.
I reach out to touch her face and pull my hand back when her face freezes.
I mimic that face back at her and giggle again when she pokes my cheek again.
Giggle right? That's what the black haired man said it was.
I look around.
Where is the black haired man?
I eye the hall towards where I had seen the man dissapear to.
The woman in front of me sets me down on the floor, breaking my focus.

"Awww, you're so cute.... I can't wait to see you in the future. We'd have to be fending off both girls and guys..."

I tilt my head in slight confusion.

Fending off? Guys and girls?
She continues talking right away, not noticing my obvious confusion.

"...Oh, and when you have a crush, I'll have to give you all my tips..."

Is she drooling?

"...and you'll know how to keep them begging for a ta-"

"Midnight!-" a red faced man says to the woman, coming into our view .

Midnight? I look at her hair, then her clothes, to the man, and back again.
I see why she's called midnight!

She approaches the male with a strange looking smile, a hand on her whip. He shivers slightly.

They start talking almost immediately I think? It looks like she's doing most of the talking while the man is standing with another unfamiliar look on his face.

For the second time, I look around.
Where is the black haired man? I mean, I see a lot of black haired men, but none of them look like him.

Everyone seems to be doing one thing or the other and the woman- Midnight is busy chatting with that man... so I take it upon myself to go on my personal mission; look for that black haired man.

I turn 180° around, walking past the see-through glass doors which open up for me.
Did it do that before or...

Taking some time to admire it, I start on my self-proclaimed mission; to find the black haired man, going towards the hall I saw him dissapear to.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
After a long walk and checking a lot of  rooms, I finally find a room labelled 'interrogation'.

He would probably be here since they want to know what he knows right?

I open the door with a creak and see that black haired man with an even more tired-looking black haired man looking like they're about to fight something.
I suddenly get a feeling that the other black-haired man is going to be important somehow.

Huh. There are two somewhat important black haired men now. Does it mean I have to rename them?

I look towards that black haired man and rename him first.
That long black haired man.

I look towards the other black haired man in the room.
Short black haired man.
Walking over to that long black haired man, I tug on his trousers slightly. .

(A/N: U-umm, I-I'm really, really s-sorry for that M-midnight scene. It seemed u-unevitable since it's you know, Midnight)
