A woman sat in her rocking chair, cradling a little bundle in her arms and smiling softly as she looked at the bundle in her arms. She hummed a soft tune to him before kissing the top of his head. After a moment, she stopped humming and the bundle in her arms cried in protest.

"It's okay, Hikaru. I'm still right hear." The woman said softly, touching the baby's chubby cheeks. "I'm right here. Listen; shh." She lifted her baby up and placed his ear over her left breast, smiling when the baby calmed down. "I'm right here."

The woman sighed softly after a moment. She regretted that the poor boy would never know who his father was. In fact, she didn't remember, herself. Nine months ago, she'd let her friends talk her into going to the bar; into doing a one night stand. Why she'd gone through with it, she really didn't know. She had been so stupid. But, after seeing this little baby for the first time, her heart had melted. She regretted her decision, but she didn't regret the little boy. She had loved caring for him each and every day she'd had him, even if it had only been eight days by this point.

The young lady got to her feet once the baby had been still for awhile and went into his room, gently, carefully laying him down in his crib before she left the room so she could get ready to sleep as well.

     She got into her pajamas and brushed her teeth, then she walked into her room. She shrieked when she felt someone grab her from behind and struggled to get free only to be held tighter.

     "Where's the infant?" A masculine voice questioned.

     The woman said nothing, trying to calm herself. Her eyes then widened some when a fuzzy memory came to mind. "Ryuu?"

The man was quiet a moment before he turned the woman around. "I'm afraid I wasn't completely truthful with you when it came to my identity, my dear. I go by the name All For One, and I need your son. He has my DNA, you see, and I can't allow him to be raised by you."

The woman's eyes widened and she struggled again, only to be turned around and shoved towards the infant's bedroom.

"Don't worry. You won't have to suffer knowing you couldn't protect your child. I'll end your life so you won't be able to."

"Let me go!" The woman screamed, trying to free herself. She kicked him hard and managed to get out of his grasp before she ran to the now crying baby.

All For One growled in irritation before he grabbed the woman again, and he managed to grab the baby out of her arms.

The woman screamed and tried to grab her baby again, but he shoved her out of the way. She used her quirk to try and frighten the man off, but he stood there, not phased. "Why doesn't it work?!"

"Your quirk? I wouldn't know— unless your quirk requires someone who has sight. Visuals don't work on me, my dear." The evil man walked over to her and looked at her, even though he could not see. "Any last words to your son?" He asked as he grabbed her by the throat.

The woman trembled, clawing at his hand, but it was no use. Her quirk wasn't even any use right now. She tried to make him hear things that weren't there, producing the hallucination of the sound of sirens.

"Nice try." All For One said. He knew they weren't there. They sounded very close, but he felt no vibration on the ground outside of her home.

The woman squeezed her eyes shut, choking out a silent sob, tears stinging her eyes. "I love you, Hikaru..."
