Eri's POV

I sit up in my bed, a silent scream caught in my throat. Beads of sweat roll down the side of my face as I try to catch my breath. All of a sudden, I feel a stabbing sensation in my brain accompanied by images flashing by my eyes. The pain in my head reaches a crescendo and suddenly vanishes. A grimace comes across my face as my I rapidly blink away the disorientation. What was that ? A nightmare? No...maybe those were my memories from my rage burst. That's the only thing I can assume it to be since I am sure I saw red and green eyes, Izuku's eyes, in some of the images. I clench my bed sheet tightly in my hand as my thoughts shift towards him. I had sworn to Uncle Hari that I will bring his killer to justice and I never go back on my word. Punishing a traitor was just a nice bonus. I break my line of thought before I go to a place I don't want to go to...yet. Anyways, I go to the wash area to get ready for the day. After all, I am getting discharged today and also going to meet my guardian. I just hope I don't wake up like every morning.

I look up from my book as I hear the door sliding open. I snap the book shut and place it back on the table. Detective Tsukauchi comes in with a green haired adult woman with green eyes. She looks like she's in her mid-twenties. The Detective promptly takes his leave after introducing the woman as Inko Midoriya. There's a awkward silence in the room as she takes a seat by the window. The weather's looking really cloudy today. It looks like it might rain. Inko-san coughs in her hand, no doubt wanting to get rid of the awkward silence. She decides that explaining her relation with me is the best conversation starter.

"Eri, I am Inko Midoriya, your paternal aunt..."

"Wait, if you are my aunt, than why have you been absent in my life this whole time?"

I know I may have been a bit too impatient but what else would you do if you suddenly met an aunt, who has been non-existent in my life, just when your whole family gets killed by a brother who you were really close to?

"Your parents asked me to. The War had just ended and then The Final Battle happened. In all that chaos, we all decided that meeting up when our enemies were still up and about was an recipe for disaster. That's why we never met before."

That's...believable. The Yakuza were individually targeted by the escapees. And if my assumptions are correct, Inko-san was either an undercover agent or didn't want to be a part of the Yakuza. 

"Okay. So...where are we going to live now?" 

"We will live at my apartment for a few days and then move over to the Yakuza Area, that is, unless if you have any problem with it."

Honestly speaking, I have no real problem with living in my home and I do need to use the library. Who knows, I might even find some secret areas. Yakuza do love their secrets. Anyways, I tell her that I have no problem with it and we get ready to leave the hospital.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I breathe in a large gulp of the humid air. It's so relaxing to be out of the hospital. There's a...weird atmosphere in the hospital. I can't exactly identify it but it feels good to be out in the world again. Inko-san calls out to me from her car. I get in and we leave the place for hopefully, the last time.

I watch the buildings and people flash by the window. It had started raining a few minutes ago and it was slowly getting heavier. I take out my book in hopes to pass the time
