While walking into my apartment, i sensed a creepy feeling,as if someone was watching me. Maybe i was being paranoic due the situations that occurred during the day.

He was still concerned about the daughter's health, and decided he would take the day off school tomorrow to rest.

*extra large time skip*

It had been nearly 4 months since the incident. Hiro had mostly forgotten about them, but some part of his brain refused to forget the girl. Hiro did realize previously that he had not asked the name of the injured girl. Well it wasn't his business anymore. He,once again headed to the local library and started his work once again. And yet again, he was so absorbed in his work that he didn't realize time passing, This time without inturreption.

As he was heading out though, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck. He looked around to see what happened and in a split second he turned, he saw the face of that man who slapped Kokoro. In an instant,though, he was blinded by darkness. But his ears were still capable of hearing

"Now what."

"You killed him, and i accompanied you and now you get your part of the deal"

"Then hand it over, Richard"

These were the words Hiro heard before passing out of total pain.

When he woke up, he was in a hospital bed. His vision was still blurry. He looked up to white eyes but couldn't move his leg. As his vision got clearer he saw that he was covered in wounds and in a hospital. But it all felt a bit too similar and brought a migraine to his head. He passed out again, but not before remembering a car crash that hurt his brain.

He opened his eyes again and this time he saw Kokoro, standing beside his bed.
"Hey umm..Kokoro,was it? What are you doing here"

"Mommy works here and i entered this room because my drawings fell in through the crack in the door"

So this was the place Anne worked at...

" Well Kokoro you can go back to your mom"

"yes,Uncle"

Hiro chuckled at the adorableness of that human.

"Again huh?"He said,swiping his hair from his forehead and gently touched one of his horns.

Later he was discharged from the lab with an unusual count of yellow and white blood cells in his body.

As he was heading out he heard the voice of Anne, who said "Hiro,be careful. Dio escaped from jail last week and we suspect he us the one who shot you. He is a monster. Again,be careful"

Hiro gave her a smile and inquired about her daughter instead of giving her an appropriate response . "She is fine now". With that, Hiro walked away. Sighing under his breath "Monster hmm. Well,So am i"

As soon as Hiro reached home he thought to himself "You got out huh?Well, you won't have the chance to hurt my darling again"

He slept in his bed and spent a dreamless night.

After waking up and getting prepared for school, Hiro headed out to his Highschool. Midway though, he saw the girl who was injured. He picked up his pace a bit and walked beside her,asking her how she had been feeling lately. She looked up in surprise and this time smiled shyly. As soon as Hiro got to class, the teacher,Joseph, introduced the new girl, Iota to the class. She sat in a vacant seat beside Hiro and greeted him

"Same classes hmm"

"I guess"

"So anything you need, just ask me" Hiro said,smiling

"Sure" said Iota

When recess began, Iota was surrounded by kids wanting to know her. Hiro smiled and walked over to his group of friends, Goro, Yuiga, and Josuke. All of these 4 were best friends and basically inseparable.

As Recess was over Hiro said goodbye to his group and headed back towards the class. He usually took a path not many people knew of since it was a sort of a backdoor. When he was about to turn a corner, he heard a boy say "you really think you're hot stuff huh? Getting all the attention of children like you did... Well too bad now that we're here"

Hiro suddenly walked up to those boys with a disgusted look on his face. His voice was dangerously soft as he said:
"Deary me,would you look at the time. My watch is broken. Do me a favor and tell me what time it is would you?"

"get out of here you dumb giant!!you are all brawn and no brain"

"I asked for the time didn't i? And also i don't think that's how you speak politely either."

His voice suddenly turned into a menacing tone as he picked one of them and threw in away as if he was as light as an iron rod.

Looking at their friend being throw away that lightly,they realized they shouldn't be messing around near him. They immediately took off running and their friend on the ground in hot pursuit.

Hiro lifted Iota up and took her to the nurses room. She came to consciousness as she had earlier fainted from shock. She thanked Hiro and Hiro asked if she would want him to walk home with her. She nodded shyly but a smile broke through her lips

"Th..Thank you,Hiro. I don't know what they would have done to me if you hadn't had come" she said,suddenly tearing up. Hiro subconsciously put her head on his shoulder and hugged her. She hugged him back, smelling the cologne on his coat.

They both headed off home and midway home Iota suddenly put his arm around his waist. Hiro may have just fainted out of shock and happiness but simply smiled and put his hand on Iota's head and started petting it.

Behind him a shot of a bullet was heard. Iota looked back in shock while Hiro stood unfazed. But he knew the bullet was aimed at him

"I am a Monster",Hiro said to himself as the bullet disintegrated to nothingness behind him.
