THREE

With a gasp of air, bolting up from her lying position and sweat drips down from her forehead. Her heartbeat was rapidly racing that makes the heart monitor beeping uncontrollably making nurses rush in to only calm down to see their unconscious patient is recovering their breath.

A male nurse comes over to the heart monitor and shutting it.

Kaida lays back down with a heavy sigh, placing her arm over her eyes. Breathing in from her nose and exhale from her mouth, repeating it a few more times.

Her mind recalls what happened earlier to only let out a dry chuckle.

She should have kept to herself as she used to.

"Everyone lies at the end."  Tears roll down her cheek with a bitter smile.

"You aren't a monster, Kaida."

Everyone that she has trusted always backstabbed her at the end.

Always.

They claim to have accepted her to only at the end treat her like a monster.

She didn't ask to be born like this.

She shouldn't have su-

A cough interrupted her train of thought to only move her arm from her eyes. Her puffy eyes look at the familiar male nurse with a bag of food.

"I thought that you would like some food in your system, that isn't hospital food." He carefully places the bag of food on top of the wheeling small table, before moving it over to her.

She sits up to open the bag to reveal some cooked chicken ramen from next door.

"Thank you." She mumbles quickly, before starting to dig into her food.

He nods at her responses before asking her question, "I am guessing your Fri-"

"We are not friends... anymore." Kaida splits out before breaking the chopsticks and digging into her dinner.

"Ah, I see. Sorry to hear that." The male nurse apologies, as the patient, shrugs her shoulders without care.

"I will get our discharge papers and your weekly pick up."

Kaida nods in acknowledgment and continues to eat her food without a second thought. She feels a vibration on top of the bed to only ignore it to finish her meal before patting on her bed.

She pushed herself out of the hospital bed and rip the blankets off to only have something fall to the ground. Putting back the blanket on top of the bed, to kneel to the ground to check underneath the hospital bed.

Placing her hands on the ground to hold her weight with her light red eyes landing on the black cover of a cell phone case to only place a frown on her lips. Withdrawals one of her hands from holding her weight, and reaching out for the phone with her fingertips. Dragging it out from the bed before getting a better grip on it. She stands up with the phone in her hand.

Her eyes reading her missed calls from a certain person earning her to twitch her eyes in anger and grasping a hard grip. She pulls up the text messages to send a text.

"You got your wish.
Get the fuck off of my back. Jackass."

She sends the message before clicking on the contact blocking the number and deleting their contact information.

Slipping her phone back into the pocket of her jacket, and turning to the door sensing someone walking over to her. She turns her head to follow their movements to have papers placed within a clipboard.

She lazily reads over the information before using the pen tied to the clipboard with rubber bands together. She signs at the places where it's highlighted.

"Here is your weekly pickup. Ms. Shadou." The nurses gave her a fake smile and raising their arm with the bag containing her weekly supplies.

Kaida takes the bag and checking everything is there, before knocking shoulders with the fake smiled nurse. "Thanks."

With that, she walked out of the hospital and stealing a lollipop from the front desk bowl.

Her eyes were dull from live remembering the torment and torture of restraining her demons again. She sighs in disbelief.

'I should have just ignored it.'

Her mind remembering how their first interaction.

5 years ago

Kaida was playing with her game console, pushing her fingers on the buttons in rapid speed with her hood up of her oversized black jacket and lollipop hanging from her lips.  

"That's the kid with the brainwash quirk."

"Let's teach him a lesson."

"Come on, man. He is just a kid."

She paused her game to glance behind her to see a group of middle schoolers. The leader of the group from what it seems was about to pass her. She stuck out her foot in his path since he is not paying attention to where he is. 

He trips over her leg to the only fall on his face and quickly picks up his head to look up who did it.

Kaida was already running and grabbing her purple-haired classmate' wrist and pulling him into an alley where they attempt to run away from the middle schoolers. They are just elementary schoolers.

"What are you doing?!"

"Trying to save you from a beaten."

Shinsou looks at her shocked with the news to only glance behind him to see older kids with angry impressions on their faces. They turn the corner that would lead them back into society only to be blocked by one of them swiftly taking out a pocket knife with a flick of the wrist.

The two elementary kids stop at their tracks and walk backward to only bump into others that have caught up to them.

They both gulped. Shinsou gasp loudly to see Kaida get harshly pull by her jacket collar.

"What was that stunt you pulled?! Huh! To protect your villain friend who is a pathetic dream of becoming a hero with that quirk of his.." Kaida boredly looked inside of this leader's eyes to see nonexistent remorse. She muffled the rest of what he was saying, but focus on the look of his eyes.

Eyes of a true villain.
He wanted to hurt them.

However, once she hears the words, "I will be a hero who is gonna be rich and get all the girls I want!"

She blurs out, "I hate heroes."

In truth, she isn't lying. She doesn't like heroes who are obsessed with their ranking and money. She does like heroes who don't care about their pay and love doing their job.

Abruptly she was dropped to the ground without her game console in her hands. The leader holds the game console and drops it on the ground before harshly stepping on it.

Kaida eyes tremble at her game console.

Her last gift from her parents to be destroyed in front of her.  

"That's outrageous! Can you believe this brat?"

Both children did not expect what is gonna happen in the next few seconds.

She was kicked in the stomach before changing their attention change to the male classmate who tried to use his quirk to only for it to wear off quickly its effect.  The leader was kicking on him to only have his friends try to stop him.

"You are going too far, man! They are kids!"

The leader takes the pocket knife from his friends to only rise it.

"I am just gonna give him a reminder."

With a quick slash to only have a blur of black appear in front of him.  Drops of blood land on the ground, the leader hand shakily let's go with the blade in her chest. She got in the way to protect her classmate.

The leader took the time to let reality sink in. He just stabbed a young child and beaten. This wouldn't look good on his record. He didn't time his consequences.

"My body moved by itself." The blue-haired coughs up blood to the only grip on the knife, pulling out and let it drop onto the ground with a thud.

"Shinsou, was it? Run."

Shinsou looks at the girl who glances in his way to freeze at the eyes hold of pure bloodlust, as her red eyes shining brighter than ever.

Black smoke starts to appear on the blood drops on the ground, as her feet start to having dark smoke which continues to grow becoming like a shadow hovering her.

The shadow was slowly becoming into something that he didn't have the chance to see.

Once he starts to run for his life and getting. Behind him, he could hear a disturbing laugh followed by the sounds of screams.

The noises make him unconsciously shake and shivers down his spine. He could feel something dark presence and slowly turns his head turns to look behind him to see the whole area was covered in pure darkness where the screams continued.

That day, he found out why she was so feared in her old school and her dark secret that's apart of her quirks.

The demons she holds inside.

Meanwhile, in Shinsou household, Hitoshi held a broken screen game console that belonged to Kaida. He sighs in disbelief of what he had done. He is an asshole for what he did.

But he couldn't help but envy her for getting into the department he wanted.

However, it doesn't change the effect of the words he blurted out in grief and anger. It doesn't justify it. He was a terrible friend to find bring up her past of the society looks upon her as murder when in fact.

She was not the one responsible for her parent's murder.

She was just a child who was triggered unleash the full capacity of her quirk.

It was triggered and force upon her for it to happen.

Her life was turned upside down due to this incident.
