My Hero Academia:re - Volume 1 Chapter 5 Mask

In an abandoned house, Kira is sitting on top of the dirty red roof. Beside him was a bottle of alcohol, half empty. He stares at the bright stars lighting up the dark lonely sky. He felt sad and…..Empty.

“Where are you?” Kira said as tears flow from his eyes.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Kira drove back to his house. He got off the bike with bottle in hand, he sways left and right as he collapses in front of the door. The strong and smiling Kira was nowhere to be seen. All that’s left is an empty and broken soul. The door opens revealing Himari in her pink pajamas.

She had seen this sight only a few times but every time she does her heart breaks. To think that her kind and caring brother would end up like this sometimes. She put her arms under his shoulder and dragged him to his bedroom.

He reeked of alcohol but Himari didn’t shy away from him. She placed him up on his comfy bed, removing the almost empty bottle from his hands. Seeing her brother like this again she can’t help but tear up.

Each time he went out for a job she would be worried to death.

She knew her brother’s strength but as his sister she can’t help but worry. He would comeback with none to minor injuries but sometimes he would come back bloodied and was one step away from death.

Although he had regenerative powers sometimes that power would not be enough to save her brother’s life. So she studied and learned how to perform basic first aid to advance healing techniques.

She went and grabbed her favorite pink blanket from her room. It was a simple blanket with the name “Himari” in the middle. The blanket is her favorite as it is very soft and most of all it was her brother’s present to her on her birthday.

She never slept without her blanket so once she got her blanket she snuggled next to Kira. She hugged him as she buried her head on his chest.

Kira felt something on his chest so he opened his eyes to see Himari on his chest, sleeping. He slowly and gently pushed her away so she wouldn’t wake up. He had finally gotten out of that predicament, his head hurt from the amount of alcohol he had drunk.

Although he shouldn’t drink as he was still a minor but whats drinking alcohol compared to cannibalizing right? Wouldn’t hurt anyone, only himself. He took a shower, changed his clothes and prepared breakfast.

After a few minutes he saw Himari in her pajamas with disheveled hair. She walked up and sat down on the chair. Kira brought down two plates full of food and placed it in front of Hirami and him. They sat down and began to eat.

“Morning” Himari said in a lazy tone.

“Good morning” Kira said as he took another spoon full of food.

“So how was the exam?” Himari asked.

“Pretty good” Kira replied.

“How did you do on the interview?” Himari said as she yawned, still sleepy.

“Great” Kira said as he told her about the interview.

Kira arrived at the principal’s office and he opens the door revealing All Might, Aizawa behind Nezu who was seating on his little chair. He then sat down on the chair in front of Principal Nezu.

“Welcome, Kira” Nezu said clasping his hands together.

“First question, what is a hero for you?” Nezu said.

“A hero is a person who saves citizens and fights evil but you don’t want that answer do you?” Kira said.

“Well, a hero for me is a person who saves the innocent at any cost and eradicates evil” Kira said, staring straight at Nezu’s eyes.

“By eradicating, you mean kill don’t you?” Nezu said, narrowing his eyes.

“What else would it be?” Kira smiled seeing All Might’s solemn face and Aizawa’s face morphing into anger.

“Do you think with those answers we would accept you into this school!?” Aizawa shouted, slamming his hand on the desk.

“Calm down Aizawa” All Might said.

“Heroes, they have truly fallen. Those “heroes” you see on the television are fake! They work for fame, money and pleasure. Those people are no heroes.” Kira continued.

“They may have unfavorable reasons in becoming a hero but they still protect the innocent and fight for justice” All Might said, crossing his arms.

“They may protect the innocent and fight evil but they are no heroes. They are just mercenaries, they have no drive to protect the citizens willingly without rewards. True heroes need no strength nor any Quirk they’re just bonuses. To be a true hero is just being able to sacrifice your life to save another.” Kira said.

After a few seconds of silence, Nezu said “Okay, I think that’s all for now. You may go now”.

“Thanks for having me” with that, Kira exits the room.

Nezu agreed about his statement on true heroes, but he did not agree on killing any villains. He had finally come to a decision.

“Well, arguing with the teachers of U.A. doesn’t seem like a very nice interview for me” Himari said.

“I agree” Kira said with a smile on his face.

“So what did you and Kendo do yesterday?” Kira said.

“We just went out shopping then we went back to her house and watched some movies” Himari replied.

“Ah! Wait! I forgot to show you my new dress I bought!” she then ran to her room.

After a few minutes of waiting Himari finally came back with her new dress on. Her dress was a simple, light blue, sleeveless dress. She looked stunning causing Kira to stare in shock until he composed himself.

“You look….beautiful” Kira said as Himari looked away and blushed at the compliment.

‘My little sister has truly grown up’ Kira thought with tears forming in his eyes.

“Well…I was hoping to impress my crush with this” Himari whispered despite this, Kira managed to hear it with his enhanced senses.

“What!? Who the hell is he?!” Kira stood up causing his food to spill and his tears were nowhere to be found. He hurriedly went to his room ready for a bloodbath. On his way there he was releasing a suffocating amount of bloodl.u.s.t and wore a grim expression on his face.

He was ready to kill.

“Nii-san! I’m joking!” Himari quickly ran to her brother, hugging his arm.

“Well, if your really joking then good, but if I even see a guy coming close to you, he’s gone” Kira replied after a few minutes of silence.
