Blair Miriel's Mansion - A BnHA Ghost Hunting AU

Chapter 10 - Home

       After arriving back at Katsuki's house, Izuku proceeded to call his mother to tell her he was back as the others took the camera and Eijirou's phone to the guest room, which was pretty much now their office and editing room, and started to move all the footage to the computer.

      "Hey, mom, I'm at Kacchan's," The greenette said as soon as he heard a "hello" on the other end.

      "Izuku? Sweety, how was it? Did everything go well? Are you hurt? Did you have enough to eat? Did you get enough sleep?" Inko Midoriya kept rambling on and on with constant worry.

      "Mom, I'm ok, really! We had... 'fun', I guess."

      "You guess?! Honey, did something happen?"

      "I'm fine, we all are. We just had a run-in with something... paranormal..."

      "You mean you actually met a spirit?!"

      "Well, we didn't really meet, we just tal-"

      "KATSUKI!" A woman's voice yelled from the angry blond's bedroom. "WHAT THE F*CK HAPPENED TO YOUR BACK?!"

      "HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU TO STAY OUT OF MY ROOM WHEN I'M CHANGING, YOU OLD HAG?!" Katsuki's voice yelled back. Izuku figured that he went to his room to change and his mother walked in. They had been wearing the same hoodies for awhile, so he really didn't blame him.

      "Was that Mitsuki and Katsuki?" His mother's voice asked, sending a chill down the greenette's spine, wondering how much could she hear.

      "Y-yeah," Izuku stuttered as the yelling between the other two continued.

      "What happened to Katsuki's back?!"

      "Nothing major, he just..."

      "I TRIPPED AND FELL ON A LIGHT! THAT'S IT! NOW GET OUT OF MY ROOM!" Katsuki yelled.

      "Yeah, that."

      "YOU DON'T GET A MARK LIKE THAT FROM A LIGHT BULB, YOU BRAT!" Mitsuki yelled back.

      "Umm..."

      "Izuku..." Inko let out a sigh. "Finish editing your video, then come back home. We can talk more there."

      "Ok... See you later, mom."

      "I love you."

      "Love you, too." He then hung up the phone and sat on the couch, waiting for the constant yelling to die down before he went to the guest room. It was just past Katsuki's room, and Izuku REALLY didn't want to have to get any closer to all that screaming than he already was. He felt a little sorry for his other friends, seeing as they were a lot closer to the yelling than he was.

      It's not like he could really blame them though. Both have a history of being very loud, and Mitsuki had a good reason for screaming, this time at least. Her son had been branded, of course she'd be worried. Of course, Katsuki hated when ever she'd invade his privacy, so it's understandable why he'd yell back. He probably didn't even want his parents to know about the mark, or at least was trying to come up with a way to break it to them. This definitely wasn't the ideal situation.

      Eventually, the yelling settled down, so Izuku assumed maybe they were done. His theory was confirmed when he saw Katsuki's mom walk past him.

      "Oh, Izuku, I thought you were with your friends in the other room," She said when she saw the greenette sitting on the couch.

      "I was calling my mom, and didn't want to disturb anyone," Izuku responded rather shyly.

      "Don't worry, I'm done yelling at the brat." She put her hand to her head as if she had a headache. "He refused to tell me about that burn mark on his back... What about you? You don't have any scars, do you?"

      "No, I'm fine."

      "Good... Where's the aspirin..." She then walked away to the kitchen.

      Izuku took this opportunity to meet with the others in the guest room. Katsuki was already back, but wearing a black t-shirt with a skull on it. "Hey, everyone."

      "Oh, Izuku, you're back," Denki said as he walked over to the green-head. "We were just looking at the videos. And there's a LOT of sh*t we missed."

      Izuku walked over to the computer and took a look at the screen. Every now and again, a woman would appear somewhere in the video. When the greenette and Shouto were going down the hallway, she appeared in the crack of a door. When Katsuki, Eijirou, and Denki were going up the steps, she appeared at the top. She did indeed show up when Izuku was looking at the mirror, and once again in the attic, right after Eijirou dropped his phone after seeing the corpse. That last one, and a bunch of other times, she only appeared for a second, and they'd have to put the video in slow motion just to catch her. It was REALLY creepy.

      "She was watching us the whole time?!" Izuku exclaimed, a little frightened.

      "It's strange," Katsuki added, "We were in separate places, and yet she appeared on both Deku and Sh*tt* Hair's cameras."

      "It's never at the same time, though," Eijirou pointed to the time stamps. "It's like a minute or two apart."

      "Strange indeed..." Shouto said under his breath, as if he's still trying to come up with something, anything, to explain what happened that night.

      "Give up, Icyhot?" Katsuki asked, but not in his usual snarky way.

      Instead of answering, the bi-colored hair just lowered his head.

      "Oi, Deku."

      "Yeah?" Izuku responded.

      "What are we going to do now?"

      "Huh?"

      "I mean, we accomplished your goal. We saw an actual ghost, and actually communicated with it. So, is this it?"

      Izuku didn't know how to respond, he never really thought about what came next. He looked as his friends who all waited for his answer.

      "Well..." The greenette began, "I-I don't know really... I actually think that ghost hunting is a lot of fun, but I also realize how dangerous it can be... What about all of you?"

      "Man, do you really have to ask?" Eijirou questioned. Izuku lowered his head. "Of course I wanna keep this up!"

      The greenette picked his head back up. "Wait, what?"

      "Yeah, I agree!" Denki joined in. "Hanging with you guys has been the highlight of my life, I ain't giving it up now just because of one bad experience."

      "I don't want your mother's handmade hoodie to go to waste," Shouto chimed in. "I'm staying."

      "As for me," Katsuki added with a smirk, "Things just got interesting, I'm not running away with my tail between my legs!"

      "But you-"

      "Got a battle scar, cool right?!"

      Izuku let a big smile come across his face. "W-well, if you guys really feel that way, I guess RealGhostHunters is continuing!"

      Eijirou and Denki cheered while Katsuki and Shouto nodded. Izuku's smile just got bigger, if that was even possible.

This story will soon come to an end, as all things must eventually. I hoped you enjoyed the ride while it lasted. I still love BnHA, and anything related to the paranormal, so if you guys want, there might be a sequel. Maybe.

Thank you for reading.
