•Third Person•

The duo plus cat ventured down the street, casting wary glances in all directions occasionally while trying not to bring too much suspicion to them. Izuku curled up more in Aizawa's scarf, becoming as small as possible while maintaining his balance in the scarf. His ears swivelled around in every direction, having been long since trained to pick up even the smallest of sounds as they moved. That's why when he heard a familiar "meow" from a nearby alleyway, he suddenly perked up. Aizawa halted, stepping to the side so he was pressed up against a building wall. Yamada followed his motion, looking at him with curiosity and confusion. Izuku peeked out, ears tilting towards the entrance of the alley where they stood next to. He leaped out and down to the ground, padding over on feather light paws into the dark and narrow space. Aizawa and Yamada followed quietly, watching with interest as to what will happen.

Further in, Izuku heard the same "meow" coming from further down. He replied back with his own call and sped up, seeing a familiar looking tail poking out from behind a wooden crate. He lit up, moving faster still. "Hitoshi! It's me! Izuku!" He called, watching as the tail moved back behind the crate, before a furry purple face popped out instead. "It is you! Where have you been?!" Izuku ran up to him and practically tackled him to the ground, overjoyed. "It's been so long!"

"Izuk-agh!" He started, but was cut off when he was tackled. "Thats definitely you. I wasn't expecting to see you here, let alone anyone. This is a surprise," he pushed the green cat off of him, sitting up straight as he kept his bright purple eyes fixed on Izuku. Well, that was until he saw the two humans behind him, causing the purple furred cat to tense up and prepare to strike. His fur fluffed up as he hissed. "Who the hell are they?! Are they hunters? Why are they here?"

"No, no, no! You've got it all wrong!" Izuku quickly corrected, standing up and walking over to the two adults. "They're helping me! There's nothing to worry about, Hitoshi. They're nice!" He reasoned, watching Hitoshi's tensed posture relax a bit as he processed Izuku's words. "I swear that they are good people. They aren't affiliated with the hunters in any way. They're trying to stop the hunters," at that, Hitoshi's head tilted to the side slightly, conveying his confusion towards that statement. "They're trying time help however they can right now. I'm trying to get back to our home and they're helping me get there. You can trust them alright."

However much he was hesitant, Hitoshi reluctantly agreed. He always trusted Izuku's judgement, as he was always quick to figure out who was good and bad amongst their clan. His judgment had yet to be wrong, according to everything Hitoshi's seen from him. So he'll let in and follow along with whatever he has to say. Flattening his fur back down, he watched with wary eyes what the two adults would try to do. Although he trusted Izuku's decision to trust them, that didn't mean he fully intended to trust them with his life. Unless they could prove themselves to him, he's be on edge. He walked up to Izuku and watched as Aizawa crouched down onto one knee, extending his hand towards the two cats. Izuku happily climbed up and settled in the man's scarf, practically begging Hitoshi to join him up there. Reluctantly, he agreed and followed after Izuku, settling into the scarf that wrapped tighter around the two to keep hem secure.

"Where to now?" He murmured just loud enough for the two cats to understand his words. He and Yamada headed out of the alleyway and stared down the street as Izuku looked around, trying to commit a map to memory from the path.

"This is Musutafu, right?" He earned a nod in response. "Then, we should be near the entrance to our home. Umm... go right here," Aizawa followed his hushed direction, turning right and letting his eyes wander around. They soon landed upon a mountain that he'd disregarded in the past as just something in the background. But now, he was sure that's where he and Yamada were being led. "What's the fastest way of travel?"

"Hmm... it'd be train if you wanted to go somewhere else. But if you want to stay within the city, Uber would probably be the best bet to get to where we want to go," Izuku nodded in response, giving Hitoshi a quick glance before looking forward again. "We can either get one, or just keep walking. It's up to you."

"I don't know if I'd feel safe being in this - Uber? - even with these guys here," Hitoshi said, pressing himself further into the scarf as if to insinuate his distrust and fear. "I don't know about you, but I'd just rather walk where I know I can escape whenever I please. I don't want to be trapped."

Izuku hummed in thought, understanding the purple cat's hesitance. "We should just walk. I think we'd both feel better if we just continued to walk there." Aizawa and Yamada nodded slightly, Yamada putting his phone back into his pocket instead of calling an Uber.

"What do you plan on doing when your get there? Because I can't think of anything that'd stop all of this," Yamada quietly asked, for once. "I doubt the H.O.T will just stop if you ask them to. They're way o dedicated to their job to just stand down."

"I have an idea. I'm not entirely sure that it'll work, but I have to try it. If it does work, then I can stop the hunters from trying to kill all of us. I'm sure there is a way. And I will find it." Izuku's determination shone through his words, signifying his resolve.

Yamada cracked a small smile at that. "I can't wait to see how you do this. It's gotta be amazing, huh?"

"Not sure about amazing. But I'm sure it'll do something."
