Predestined [Katsuki Bakugou X OC]

seventy-three

Hiraku groaned for almost the hundreth time that day. UA's winter break had officially ended and Class 1A were all back from their internships.

Hiraku wanted nothing but to spend time with the rest of her friends, but due to her hero duties, she could not.

"What are you groaning about now?" A man's voice called her from behind. "Are you homesick?"

"Kento-saaaaan! I wanna go hoooomee!!!" Hiraku groaned loudly, throwing her body on a nearby couch.

The night she had dinner with the Todorokis was the last time she had spent time with her family and friends. The next morning, she had to say farewell to the Endeavor Agency because she had urgent business overseas.

She could not even say goodbye to Katsuki, because she had to leave as soon as possible; she had secretly sent him a text that she was safe and would be home soon.

No one in Japan--minus the higher ups-- knew where she was. All they knew was that she had urgent business overseas.

Ever since Hawks had informed the higher-ups about traitors and spies, they resorted to keeping most of Hiraku's mission a secret.

"Do you wanna go see Aya?"

Hiraku pursed her lips before smashing her face back on the pillow again, muttering, "I can't!! They won't let me see anyone!!"

The man smiled apologetically at Hiraku who was now having a childish tantrum; he could not help but feel sorry for the girl. The Hero Commission continues to forget that although Hiraku was a strong hero, she was also just a kid.

A kid who did not have that much of a childhood.

A kid who just wanted a family.

"I'm sorry, Hira-chan," The man repeated. "I wish I could do something, but I already tried talking to them and they would not listen."

Hiraku sighed heavily, sitting up and telling the man, "S' fine, Kento-san. I just wish I could message literally anyone, but they won't let me after they caught me trying to text Katsuki.

"Tsk. It's not like I was telling him where I was! I was just asking how he was!"

Nanami Kento was Target's--or Nanami Aiko, Hiraku's adopted older sister-- husband. He was a tall, well-built man with blonde hair styled with a neat part. Kento has very thin eyebrows as well as small green eyes that are usually covered by his signature sunglasses, which don't have arms that wrap around the ears.

Just like Target, Nanami Kento was also a hero. His hero name was Arrow--which he chose because of his wife-- and his quirk is called 'Black Flash'. He had the ability to gather energy into the palm of his hand and use it to punch someone.

His punch is so strong that he could pierce someone with it, just like an arrow. Hiraku tried to convince Kento once to punch her; it did not end well. Kento got so annoyed that he lazily punched her.

Hiraku suffered five broken ribs and her stomach almost geting blown off.

Suffice to say, Nanami Kento was one of the few people who scared Hiraku.

"How are your trips to space?" Kento asked, sitting down beside Hiraku. "Are you having fun?"

Hiraku scoffed and said, "Having fun, my ass... It's so boring that I almost scratched my eye out on my last trip! I mean, they wouldn't even let me bring any toys!"

Kento chuckled at the girl's new vocabulary. He noticed that ever since she returned to Japan, her vocabulary had been a bit vulgar. He did not see it as a problem though, he thought she sounded more child-like that way.
