chapter 43

Nejire sighed as she parked at the courthouse and got out, looking at the building with mixed feelings.

Marasu:scared?

Nejire is a veteran pro-hero who has been through a war against the Meta Liberation Organization. She jumped, scared out of her mind, as she flew up in the air. She looked down and saw her lawyer, Masaru Bakugo, with a briefcase and the same smile he had in that meeting. She flew back down with her hand on her heart.

Nejire: Where the hell did you even come from?!

Masaru: From behind you? My car's right there.

Masaru said, pointing behind him. Nejire turned around and started walking inside, with Masaru following her.

Nejire: and I'm not scared; it's just... 10 years is a long time, and now it's going to be over. I just...

Masaru: I understand that divorce should be the last option. If you wish, I can talk to Masaru's lawyer and cancel this whole thing.

Nejire: What about you? Do you know who?

Masaru: Oh, my nephew will be without a doubt pissed. But pro bono or not, you are my client, and your needs come first. So what's it going to be?

Nejire bit her underlip as she thought about it.

Nejire:Even after everything he's done, I can't deny that there's a part of me that still cares for him."

*Nejire thought. Then she thought about Eri. Eri quickly transformed into Penelope in her mind, and what if it would've been her? The very thought made Nejire sick to her stomach as her eyes turned cold.

Nejire:no. Continue with the trial. My feelings aside, I just can't be with him after doing what he did.

Nejire said, hugging herself. Masaru nodded with a small smile of encouragement for Nejire as he opened the door for her. With one deep breath, she walked in.

Nejire: "This is it."

Meanwhile, with Eri

Eri coughed up blood as she fell on the floor, a tooth flying to the air as gravity's hands grabbed her and she slammed on the ground. She tried to get up but felt a foot on her throat.

Haku: The villain would've jammed their foot way harder, making it impossible to breathe. You die, I win.

*Haku said simply as he helped Eri up. Eri grabbed Haku's hand and got up; she placed a hand on her own face and rewinded it to before the injuries.

Eri: How are you so good?

Haku: The orphanage doesn't have a TV, and we're too broke to buy phones. So Naruto and I train since we've got nothing better to do.

Eri glanced at Monika as she dodged a fire kick from Marquis. Eri and her group decided to join Naruto and Haku in their regular training regiment. In the background, Nusutto was screaming as she was kicked to the air by Naruto.

Haku: You should find another opponent, Eri. I'm at a level too high for you to defeat me. I would suggest you fight with your girlfriend.

Eri:mínoka is not my girlfriend.

Haku: I do not recall saying mínoka now, did I?

Eri flinched and cursed under her breath for falling for such a cheap trick, while Haku hummed with an amused expression on his face.

Haku: What's going on with you two anyway?

Eri: It's complicated

Haku: Hm, walk with me. Talk with me. We need to get some drinks.

Eri nodded as they walked, just in time to miss Nusutto coming back to earth only to see a demon. Naruto was running full force at her with an insane grin on his face.

Haku: So what's going on with the two of you?

Eri: I don't know. We like each other, and we've had some make-out sessions in my room and only in my room.

Haku: Why only in your room?

Eri's shuttered memory of Mnoka's room made her a little green.

Eri, the mood is just not right for kissing; let's just leave it at that.

Haku:noted, but apart from making out?

Eri: Uh, well, that's kind of all we've done. Whenever we hang out as a group, when we're alone, we just kiss, cuddle, and junk.

Eri said she was getting more and more red. Haku hummed*

Haku: So no dates? No presents? If that was me, well, Naruto knows better. Then do not take me out on dates.

*At the background, Naruto shivered, giving Nusutto the perfect opportunity to jam her spear bone on his shoulder.*

Haku: But if you want your relationship with Minoka to grow, the two of you need to go on dates. You are in the most romantic city in the world. Do not go on dates. It would be a waste of the environment.

Eri: I know your right. It's just that... I don't know. I guess I'm still scared of being in public.

Haku;why?

Eri: Please don't tell anybody about this, ok?

Haku nodded, and Eri looked down, rubbing her red wrist.

Eri: I had this stepfather for a long time—almost 6 years. He didn't like people who were the same gender.

Haku;ah, say no more. Let me guess, now you hear his voice whispering in your head whenever you go out and want to try to be with the girl you are interested in?

Eri nodded, hugging herself; Haku, not being good with emotions, just gave her an awkward hug and let go just as quickly.

Haku: Well, I see two options. One way you can force yourself to go on dates with Minoka and ignore the voices of a blind fool

Eri: and two? The first option is not exactly easy...

Haku, talk to your therapist.

*Before Haku could finish, Eri ran to Mnoka and crashed into her.*

Monika: Hey, Yo Eri, what's...

*Mínoka's eyes widen when Eri smashes her lips with hers. Eri let go with a blush on her face and a determined look in her eyes.

Eri: You and I are going on a date tomorrow!!

Back to Nejire

Ashi: I've said my peace, Mr. Bakugo. I give you the floor.

Mirio's lawyer, Aashi, said as he sat down. Masaru got up and started his turn.

Masaru: Your honor, my client is looking for financial compassion, the apartment, the car, the bank savings, and his hero agency.

*Ashi's eyes almost fell out of his face as he stood up.*

Ashi, you must be out of your god-damned mind! Why would we agree to do this?!

Masaru: Oh, I don't know because you have no choice.

Ashi, do you think emotional distress is enough of a reason to give Miss Hado everything in Mr. Togata's name?

Judge:Mr. Bakugo I do hope you have proof for all of this. Because you've yet to give us anything.

Masaru: But, of course, your honor. It would be my absolute pleasure.

Masaru, with a hint of evil in his tone, walked to Aashi and the judge, giving them both a folder.

Masaru: In your hands is a folder of all of Mr. Togata's crimes against Miss Hado. Open them and read them while I monologue. For the last year of their marriage, Mr. Togata's personality changed completely over the course of this. Izuku Midoriya

Mirio flinched and glanced at Toshinori next to him. Mirio asked him to come for support. Toshinori placed his hand on Mirio's shoulder.

Masaru: during which time Mr. Togata over there became emotionally unavailable, verbally abusive, and manipulative.

Mirio slammed his hands on the table and glared at Masaru.

Mirio: That's a lie!!

Judge:Mr. Togata I will not tolerate any sort of outburst in my courtroom.

Ashi: I'm sorry, your honor. I'll keep him in line.

*Ashi said with a smile, using his super strength to force Mirio to sit back down.*

Masaru: As I was saying before, I was so rudely interrupted. In subject A, you'll see photos of the things Mirio broke in an argument with Miss Hado.

Ashi: objection. Your honor on that day, Nejire, broke things as well.

Masaru: While true, your honor, who's really the more dangerous of the two? The woman has a wave motion quirk. Or our number-one hero over there with OFA? Which brings me to evidence B. You'll see another picture, this one of a hole in the wall, a hole that Mirio made in another fight. Tell me, what was Nejire to do? Anybody would be scared for their lives to have someone with a super-strength times 10 quirk; a normal one is dangerous enough. I know you know just how careful you have to be, don't you?

Ashi clicked his tongue. Nejire glanced at Mirio; the both of them made eye contact, and Nejire could see the pain behind his eyes. Nejire closed her eyes and looked forward with a hard expression.

Masaru: Let's move on to my last argument. Your honor, would you honestly let this poor woman stay in a marriage with a pedophile?

Masaru could feel how the air was sucked out of the courtroom, just as he liked it. Ashi had to keep his hand on Mirio and whisper to his ear to not use his quirks.

Judge: You just called the number one hero a pedophile. What proof do you have? And where did you get the set proof?

Masaru: Why, from Mirio himself, of course.

Masaru grabbed a controller and pressed a button; the TV in the room turned on and

Mirió; Hello, I am Mirio Togata, the pro-hero Lemillion, and I have video evidence that proves Iida's claims. If Eri Yapyorozu knows the location of her father, then Momo Yaoyorozu knows it as well. We must bring him out of hiding.

*Mirio paled as the video continued showing the fact that he's been stalking a 14-year-old girl at the time.*

Masaru: simply disgusting behavior from that man, harassing a defenseless little girl, mentally abusing her to the point she began to cut herself all because of this man, your honor! That little girl is going to therapy because of Mirio Togata, and the only reason that happened was because he convinced my client to train her; he manipulated her into giving that little girl hope that the world isn't so dark, but sadly, we all know it is. Your honor, Nejire, wants what's right of her, and I have proven that Mirio is indeed the things I've claimed—he's been manipulative; he's been abusive both verbally, mentally, and almost physically. How much longer before that almost disappears? Do you want that on your conscience?

Masaru sat down. As the judge left the room to make his decision,

Masaru: Well, this is pretty much finished.

Ashi, what makes you think she'll side with you?

Masaru smirked since he made sure to pick a female judge who survived an abusive relationship and knows how bad things can get.

Masaru: Oh, just call it a hunch.

Meanwhile, with Izutsuyu

We see them at the park in a secluded spot where no one will bother them. Tsuyu was on her super-deluxe Microsoft Switch 15. While Izuku was tuning his acoustic guitar, our loving couple was back to back, sitting under a tree.

Izuku:You don't know how much I'm going to miss you. A stranger, if you get to leave

*Tsuyu stopped playing and closed her eyes with a soft smile upon hearing Izuku playing.*

Izuku:A march forever I want us to love each other again and forever.
Tell me, this is a dream. Let's wake up.

*Tsuyu leaned back slightly, resting the back of her head on Izuku's shoulder.*

Izuku:Tell me this is a joke.
Is it not true? Any mistake is so small.

*Tsuyu moved her head slightly and kissed Izuku's cheek, making Izuku smile and blush a little.*

Izuku:Com...Compared to the love that I have for you Any mistake is so small. Compared to the love that I have for you,

Tsuyu: You slipped, Kero.

Izuku: You distracted me; just enjoy the serenade I'm giving you, my froggy princess.

*Tsuyu gave a small grin to her lips as she went back to her game.*

Izuku:Let me hold your hand until I grow old. Let me hold your hand until I grow old.

*Izuku felt Tsuyu grab his hand; he chuckled at her blundness as he finished the song Acapella.*

Izuku:Let me hold your hand until I grow old. Stay with me for a while, my love. Stay a little longer with me, oh my love...

*That's how their day went on, with Izuku practicing his guitar while singing to Tsuyu, while Tsuyu enjoyed the company, the music, and the entertainment. While one romantic relationship was over, another was stronger than ever.
