Urban Legends (My Hero Academia fanfic)

The Third Companion

It was a nice day out. The sky was clear, the weather was right, and there were adults and kids enjoying themselves outside. 5 year old, Katsuki and Izuku only had a half day at school today so they got out pretty early. They were currently in the Bakugou family's Honda Civic with Masaru driving. The husband and wife decided to bring the boys to the mall so they could have fun.

Inko had to ask Masaru and Mitsuki to pick up and babysit Izuku for the day due to her work schedule. The little boys were conversing just about anything that came to mind. "Well, it's not  my fault Michiko spilled juice on herself, she's the one who bumped into me and didn't even apologize!" Katsuki said crossing his arms irritably. 

"Well, you still could have been nicer to her" their companion in the backseat said. She was the same age as them and had curly blonde hair, baby blue eyes, and rosy cheeks. Katsuki and Izuku weren't really sure if this girl was their classmate but she just approached them today and decided to tag along on their car ride. Mitsuki and Masaru gave the 2 boys an odd look when they picked them up but shrugged it off.

"Yeah Kacchan! She's right, your lucky I was there to stop you from fighting with her or you would've gotten into trouble again!" Izuku said pouting. The 3 children bantered back and forth but Mitsuki and Masaru didn't pay attention to it, caught up in their own conversation. 

"Hey, I seriously don't think I've ever seen you before in our school. Are you sure your not new?" Izuku asked the blonde haired girl sitting in between the boys. She just gave him a smile and didn't answer the question "Oi, Deku asked you a question. It's rude not to answer" Katsuki said nudging her. Mitsuki looked back at the children and she had this worried expression on her face.

"What's the matter mom? You don't look happy" Katsuki wondered. She turned to her husband and placed a hand on his shoulder. "It's fine honey, every child has this phase in their life. No need to worry about it, kids do have a big imagination after all" Masaru assured his wife. She simply sighed "If you say so sweetheart but I hope this doesn't last for too long" she said, this made Katsuki and Izuku look at each other in curiosity.

"Your mom seems to really worry a lot" the blonde girl remarked. "Eh, she's always like that" Katsuki flipped off. "Well, parents worry for a reason you know but of course they don't always listen" the girl sighed solemnly. "Oh, totally! My Mom never listens to me when I tell her that I can help her with her work. She says I'm too young!" Izuku began ranting about his mother while Katsuki and the girl listened, throwing their own comments in every now and then. 

After about 15 minutes, the children's conversation ceased when the blonde girl gasped. She looked at the boys with fear in her eyes "We're being followed by a white van, there are bad men who want to do bad things to us, to your family!" she warned. "W-What?!" Katsuki asked in apprehension. The kids unbuckled their seatbelts and looked behind the car. 

Surely enough, there was a white van following them and the men inside, they may look like your average joes but they had this cold look to them. Something about them sent the kids into a panic. "You've got to warn your parents Kacchan! We can't let those men follow us much longer! Their going to do bad things otherwise!" she was nearly on the verge of tears. Izuku was shaking and whimpering. Katsuki was close to crying as well but held his fright back.

"M-Mom! Dad! We're being followed by bad men!" He said tugging on his parent's arms with his little hands. "What?" Mitsuki asked, looking bewildered. "There's a white van following us and there are bad guys in there! J-just look behind!" Izuku cried. Masaru looked at his rear-view mirror and saw the white van behind following them. "How can you kids be so sure there are bad men in there? Nothing looks suspicious" He said.

"You have to get them to believe you or at least stop the car and let that van pass by! It's the only way to save yourselves!" the girl sounded hysterical at this point which added to the anxiety and fear stirring inside the boys. "Well how can I do that?! Their not even listening!" Katsuki hissed.
