3RD POV

"17, 18, 19. It looks like all the students are unharmed or only have minor injuries besides midoriya with the broken legs and an unconscious kai." Investigator Tsuka said.

All the students worriedly asked the investigator about Aizawa, thirteen, and Izuku. All the students felt bad about it but were grateful and relieved when he said that they all will live and be ok with only minor drawbacks. 

"Sir? Is kai ok?" Kaminari asked.

"Well..." He stopped for a moment, not knowing what to say. Her condition baffled him and all the doctors including recovery girl. This reaction only worried about the students further. "She is still unconscious and we still don't know how or why she became unconscious, but she will be ok." He said. Momo sighed in relief, but still had a hint of worry and uncertainty in her.

~With recovery girl and Nedzu in a hostpital~

"Do you have a clue as to why she ended up unconscious?" Nedzu asked her while she felt kai's forehead then kissed her using her quirk.

"I don't know. There are no signs of concussions or any wounds for blood loss minus the small cuts from her clenching her stomach as the students guessed. What does concern me, though, are the levels of unknown substances that are in her body?

"Most people have 1% to 10% unknown substances in their body, but that is because of special quirks, but her levels are more around 30 to 60 percent. Some of it could be a quirks poison which could be the reason why she fell unconscious." Recovery girl stated.

"She is a special case though. According to the records, she said her quirk is RC blood cells. This could be the cause, but when I went through the hero net and personal records." He stopped for a moment to look at her.

"There were no registrations or official documents for her quirk, no birth certificate and no doctor visits." He paused again and looked at recovery girl eye to eye. "It's like she doesn't exist."

"Are you going to do anything about it?" The woman asked.

"I will keep her under the care of UA and let her live out her daily life, but we will question her a bit and keep her under surveillance." Nedzu stood up and dusted his pants. "We don't want her to veer off the path of a hero."

"Agreed, but I do want the teachers to be more wary of the health of the students. Especially Kai. I'm worried about the so-called stomach pains she is getting." Recovery girl finished as Nedzu nodded his head slightly, getting up and saying farewell.

 Kai POV

My head hurts. I opened my eyes and was met with a bright white light. Am I dead already? Wait... isn't hell supposed to be red? I focused my vision more and saw a lightbulb along with the ceiling. So I'm not dead?

I rubbed my eyes and looked around. White room. Welp, I'm leaving now before I get tortured.

I sat up but a shot of pain went through my head. What did I do this time? I didn't get drunk. Did I? 

I held my head and looked at my outfit. A hospital gown. Oh, its a hospital. I hate how it smells like bleach and chemicals. At least it doesn't reak of food. 

I threw the blanket off me and stood up. Another shot of pain went through my leg, making me fall to the floor. That's not good. I grit my teeth. I clenched the sheets of the bed and lifted myself up.

You know what? I'll stay here for a bit. I decided, plopping back down on the bed.

My arm hurts now. I sighed in annoyance. I looked at it and sure enough, there was a needle sticking out from it with a cord making stuff go into me. 

Nope.

I yanked out the needles making the blood go out. That's interesting. I thought as I watched my own blood flow down my arm. I don't get to see my own blood often.

Why am I bleeding again? 

I thought back to before I fell unconscious. I think it was that nomu smoke thing.

I tried to activate my ghoul's eye. My eye twitched and flashed red, but soon shut off. It barely works. I guess I need more time to recover.

When I get out of here where should I go? Shiga is probably upset about his latest defeat, so I shouldn't go there. Hmmm...

3rd POV

Kai had regained her energy and had climbed out of the window and took the escape ladder down to the ground level. 

She was already a few blocks away from the hospital's main building when her nighttime nurse walked into her room. "I'm here for your check-up," She said closing the door behind her. She looked up at the empty bed. "What?"

Panic spread across her face. She checked the bathroom, behind the curtains. In the back of the room and even under the bed. Kai left.

She quickly grabbed a phone and called recovery girl. "I'm sorry to bother you so late, but..." 

"Its ok darling. What's the matter?" Recovery girl asked in a calming tone. 

"Kai escaped. We already checked the whole building. She is not here." The nurse said, worried. 

Recovery girl sighed in annoyance and massaged her temples. "Children these days have no concern over there well being." She groaned in annoyance when she thought about the mysterious purple-haired girl and a self-destructive greenette.

Kai knew that shigaraki would be in a bad mood back at the base, so she knew she could not go there. She would have to go somewhere else with someone she trusts.

---

Kai sat on a beanbag chair scrolling through her phone. She soon heard. "Sure, I'll get the trash right now, mom." A male voice said, opening the door.

Kai sat there with a  smile on her face.

The door opened and his tired purple eyes met hers.

"Hey." She said.

"What are you doing here?" Hitoshi asked, confused.

"Just chillin." Kai shrugged and set her phone down on her lap.

Hitoshi looked at the girl suspiciously. He noticed that she was more pale than normal and a bit more tense than usual. She may seem chill and relaxed, but she was the opposite and he could tell.

He surveyed her to check if anything was wrong, but there was nothing. He then noticed a part of her arm was red.

He walked over to her, his feet lightly tapping on the floor. His expression was a mix of worry, confusion, and concern.

"What the heck Hitoshi?" She asked him weirded out and a little scared of his new expression. She hasn't seen that expression and it scares her.

He held her cold hand into his own. "Hitoshi?" She asked worried and afraid. He flipped her arm over so he could see the large cut in it where an IV has been ripped out. His face dropped at the sight of blood dripping down her arm.

"What happened kai?" He asked in a deep voice, concern washing over him like a tidal wave. He knew that it was almost impossible to make Kai bleed. Not only because she was that powerful, but because she was a ghoul. Her species cant be impaled by regular tools or knives. So her injury can only mean that she met an incredible foe.

She sighed deeply and took her arm back from him. "At the USJ..."

He grimaced for a moment. He remembered how there was an announcement at the school followers by the bell going off saying something along the lines of; all teachers please stop what you are doing and head to the USJ. All the teachers go to the USJ.

"... The league brought Nomu which was the purple thing you saw on the news." She said.

He remembered on the news they had found the beast several kilometers away from the USJ. They had to restrain him with various handcuffs and thick metal restraints.

"When he was battling allmight this smoke erupted from their battle. When I breathed it in it felt as if I was breathing in chloroform along with poison. My whole body ached and screamed in pain. It hurt to breathe... I couldn't breathe. Eventually, my body shut down because of it and I ended up unconscious." She explained.

"But how did you get these injuries?" He asked walking to his drawer to get some medical supplies because she was pouring out blood right now and it was dripping on her hospital t-shirt and sweat pants that she stole.

He grabbed some ACE wrap, motioning her to give him her arm. She gladly gave him her arm because she knows she can trust him.

"Apparently the Nomus smoke also made my body weak to cuts, so the hospital was able to put that evil cord in my body. I don't even know what's in it. I could have been allergic to it and they wouldn't have noticed." She said aggravated.

He continued to wrap the bandage on her arm until the bleeding stopped.

"Do you have any other injuries?" He asked scanning her face and arms.

"Only bruises, but they will heal." She said.

"Ok get up." He said getting up and offering her a hand. She took it, confused, but didn't bother asking.

"I need to bring you with me but first you should change," Hitoshi said opening his dresser drawer and grabbed a fresh pair of sweats and a shirt. He then threw the clothes at her face.

"Why should I?" She grabbed the clothes from her face. With an annoyed look.

He gave her a 'seriously' face, looking at her bloody shirt.

She followed his gaze to her own shirt. "Oh... I'll be back." She said going into the bathroom.

She changed and exited the bathroom, finding Hitoshi sitting on his bed.

"I was thinking about it, but I didn't ask. You don't have anywhere else to go, do you? That's why you came here." He asked.

"Yeaaaaahhhh...." She drew out her words, agreeing with him.

"Alright, but you have to come with me." He said with a slight smirk. 

"Why?" She wondered, walking to him.

"I need to take out the trash." He laughed, grabbed her arm and dragged her into the living room.

"You just had to do that, didn't you?" Kai grumbled.

"Mom! Kai came over." He said entering her view. She was throwing scrap veggies away from the dinner she was making. 

"So you're the infamous kai? Hitoshi talks about you a lot you~" She smiled, walking over to the boy. 

"Are you staying for dinner honey?" She asked. 

"Not exactly..." Kai mumbled, rubbing the back of her head nervously as she looked at the full course meal she prepared.

"She actually is spending the night for a marathon of her choice," Hitoshi said putting a reassuring arm on her shoulder. "She had a large lunch earlier, so I'm sure she will be ok." He nudged her.

"Yeah. I don't want to bother you anyway." Kai said. "It's nice to meet you Mrs-" Kai was cut off by her cheerful voice, "Its ok honey! Just call me Mihoko. It will be confusing otherwise." She smiled.

"Ok, Mihoko," Kai said. 

"Ne, Hitoshi?"Kai turned, jerking her head up because he was taller than her by a considerable amount. "Wanna watch vines or maybe a new anime! I heard that Attack on Titan was great." She said, excited. 

"Sure." He smiled at how bubbly she got in a matter of seconds.

Mihoko just stared at them in a stupor as they talked. Hitoshi was about to leave when she motioned for him to stay for a minute. "I'll be right there Kai. Set up the TV." 

"Ok!" She said almost sprinting to the room because she didn't want to give Mihoko a chance to offer dinner again.

"Whatcha need?" He asked. She then tugged him into the kitchen. "I know that she is your best friend and I know that you have no... Intentions. I trust you Hitoshi. Don't ruin your friendship. I already know how close you two are. Heck, you're on first name bases. Just keep your door open." Mihoko ordered him.

"Eww, you're gross. I would never and I was already planning on keeping the door open MOM. I was planning on marathoning Marvel movies in the living room, but oh well." He sighed and then waved bye to his mom while walking away.

"Sleep at some point, though. Your sleep-deprived enough as it is." She fondly smiled at him as he scoffed and walked into the room.

"Hitoshi, I found a new app on your tv. Its called wall breaker." Kai scrolled on its picture which was a hammer sticking out of the wall.

"Let's try it out." He shrugged not really caring.

Kai clicked the ok button. At first, nothing happened, but suddenly it glitched. Bright colors swirled onto the screen. It flickered from black and white to vibrant colors. Before they could do anything to fix it, it dinged loudly, "Funimation!" It then whispered, "You should be watching."

"What the hell is this?" Kai pondered but continued staring at the screen.

The screen then showed two options: BNHA or TG

"Which one?" Kai asked.

"Let's go with TG." He said grabbing pillows, laying on their stomachs and facing the foot of the bed so they could watch.

Kai clicked TG. It started out as an amazing anime theme song, "Oshiete~Oshiete~"

It soon flickered black and onto a new part.

A long purple-haired woman with glasses and a small smile entered a cafe which sign that said Ainteku.

"Wait a second..." Kai paused it.

"What?"

"I know that street," Kai said weirded out.

"So?" He wondered. "A lot of shows use actual streets as references." He explained, but that did not cure her shock.

"Ainteku is also the name of the cafe I work at," Kai said flabbergasted.

Shinsos mouth opened in shock. "This can't be a coincidence...can it?" He said quite astonished but didn't show it on his face.

Kai nervously pressed play, watching as it showed a black-haired boy sitting with what looks like to be his yellow-haired friend. "So~ is she pretty?" He asked with a sly smirk.

 "What?!" The other boy gasped. "Your date! Geez, kaneki! Give me details bro. What color is her hair? Is she cute-" He got cut off by the door's bell jingling softly announcing that someone entered the cafe. Kaneki's cheeks glazed red at the sight of the woman. She had long and straight purple hair. She wore a white dress with a red purse to complete the look.

"So it's her~ You've got a good eye kaneki. How did you end up with her as your date? She's way out of your league." His friend snickered.  Well, Haise,  we both noticed that we like the same author. Then we started talking and out of nowhere I somehow got a date." He whispered while blushing seriously.

"Good morning." A new voice said.

This voice sparked deja-vu in Kai's mind, but she couldn't seem to figure out who it is. "Would you like anything else to order?" The female asked.

"Hmmm... One frappuccino with extra whip." Haise said.

The view then shifted from the two boys and onto a familiar face. Kai gasped in complete shock about who she was seeing. Kai couldn't believe it. She didn't want to.

"TOUKA?!?!?!!!" Kai screeched. "What the actual f*** are you doing in an anime?! What the hell?!?!?!" Kai screamed gripping at her hair followed by a throbbing headache. 

"Isn't that your boss?" Hitoshi asked her, surprised.

"Yeah, she is! What is she doing there! The cafe-style also looks way too much like the one we have here. I know those allies too. This doesn't make any sense!" Kai said forcefully tumbling off the bed and onto the floor.

Hitoshi dint even bother to help her. He knew that she would just roll off again.

As kai processed shat was happening, Hitoshi watched with interest, wanting to understand how this show connected so much to their world.

Later on, Kaneki finally went on his date with Rize. The walked through the dark allies towards Rize's house. "Ne, Kaneki? I too happen to be interested in you." Rize said softly, pulling him into a partial hug. She took a deep breath, enjoying his sweet scent. Suddenly red mist started to surround them just like when Kai took out her kagune. Rize's eyes turned red and black She sunk her teeth into the boy's shoulder, successfully ripping a piece of meat and flesh from his arm. 

Kaneki fell to the floor in a flurry of pain and shock. He clenched his shoulder with his good hand, fearfully staring at Rize who smirked happily with blood smeared on her face.

Hitoshi just sat there next to Kai, in shock. He dint know what to say. He dint know what to think. He already knows that Rize is a ghoul because of the narrator and her ghoul features, but this bloodlusty woman was the same species as his best friend? He didn't even want to ask. However, he couldn't stop his mind from wondering if that is what kai looks like when she kills someone.

Kai just sat there in shock. She dint know what to say either. She knew that what she had to do for a meal was gory and bloody, but she dint know it was like this. Kai suddenly felt a little sorry for the people she has killed. 

Kai mentally debated whether or not she was like this maniac. Did her victim's plea in pain and fear? No, she made their deaths swift and quick. Did she binge eat? No. Did she kill for fun? No. Did she trick others, so she can eat them later? No. Did she have insane amounts of bloodlust when hungry? Most likely, but that's normal for a ghoul. 

Once Kai deemed herself nothing like Rize besides the fact that she was the same species and had purple hair. She felt better about herself.

Kai got back on the bod and somehow fell asleep once she was done with the mini argument with herself, while, Hitoshi watched the rest of the episode. 

Kaneki went to his house and was welcomed with a note from Hide. It said: Hey kaneki! I hope your feeling better! I got some delicious items from the supermarket along with your favorite burger. PS, once you feel better. Come back to school. It's tough here alone. 

Hitoshi smiled at the thought of having a friend like that. Someone who cares about you in rough times. Subconsciously, Hitoshi's gaze drifted off to Kai who was sound asleep next to him. He smiled fondly at her. At his first and best friend. 

Kaneki was listening to the news when he heard something devastating, "Ghouls tastebuds are different from ours. The only thing that they can eat is humans. They cannot eat human food. Their stomach can't digest the things we do and if they try to eat it, then they will most likely get sick." The talk show person said.

 Kaneki panicked and tiredly ran to the kitchen, ripping open the bag that held the food hide had bought for him. Kaneki snatched the burger, prying the wrapper off. His hands shook violently with no control. He shakily brought the burger closer to his mouth. His nose scrunched up at what used to be amazing a delicious smell of the burger which was now putrid, seeming inedible. He hesitated for a moment, not truly wanting to know if he was a ghoul. He brought it up to his lips and devoured it. His stomach turned, causing him to make a run for the toilet. He hurled all of the contents out with tears streaming down. 

Hitoshi watched with sympathy. He dint know that eating human food would be that painful or disgusting for kai. He looked back at the sleeping girl. He gently placed his hand on her head. He pets her head, felling her soft locks. He was glad that they found this show. Without it, he wouldn't have been able to understand her as he does now.
