In an alleway...

Third Person's POV

Ichiru stopped crying when a silhoutte shadowed his little figure. Turning behind, he saw an adult man wearing red hoodie. He was staring down at him, immense dangerous vibe surrounding the mysterious man. A disturbing smiley mask,covered with thick crimson liquid splatter his his face.

Shakily stepping back, Ichiru was frozen into silence fear. He was too terrified to even cry. This man's aura was unusually intimidating. He could feel his sharp gaze piercing his heart.

As his feet were moving on their own out of natutal instinct, Ichiru unfortunately slipped and fell on the ground. A small whimpered escaped his mouth, but the pain didn't bother him. The little boy quickly lifted his head up. His small figure was obviously trembling from horror.

"I can't believe you are the first one I will meet... Well, whatever. As long as I could end you and the others..." The man reached out his black-gloved hand to Ichiru. The child wailed uncontrollably before getting back on his feet to make a run out of this alleway.

Sadly, the stranger managed to grasp his small, slim wrist. Ichiru cried louder, his voice erupted through the area. In annoyance, the villain tightened his grip.

"Shut the hell up, brat! If you don't keep your mouth shut, I'm gonna rip off your head!" He warned in seriousness, but that didn't stop Ichiru from screaming for help.

"Mommy! Daddy! Uwaaaaaa!!!!!!"

"I say shut up!!!"

Due to strong anger and frustration, the criminal hurled Ichiru to the ground brutally. Poor boy cried from the great impact and painful sensation slowly settling in his body. His clothe was dirty thanked to the dust on the ground.

"M-Mommy... Daddy..." Ichiru sobbed between his ragged breathing. He fixed his golden eyes on the concrete floor, not daring to make eye contact with his attacker.

"Your Mommy and Daddy won't come to save you, little idiot." The man harshly told the shaking little boy. Ichiru was shocked to hear that. "N-no! M-Mommy will come! Daddy too! Mommy and Daddy are strong!" He denied as he cried.

The villain stood before Ichiru menacingly. Like earlier, he stared down at the little human trembling before his presence. "Then, why don't they come to save you? Look at you, all scared and terrified... But they aren't here to help you..." He exclaimed again, trying to crush the little hope budding within the small child.

Tears rolled down his face faster. Ichiru closed his eyes, before he hollered from the top of his lungs, calling for his parents,

"Mommy! Daddy!"

A loud thump was heard by Ichiru all of a sudden. Curious, he raised his head up. How astonished he was to see the mysterious man slowly sliding down the wall. There was a huge crack on the concrete surface, the result of the immense impact.

"Bullying kids ain't cool, ya' know! Ya' are the lowest of the low!" Another stranger --who appeared to be Ichiru's lifesaver-- retorted in distaste. He readied himself in battle stance, taking a deep breath.

He was a man with a very buff up body. His unruly light brown hair -- the most noticeable feature of his -- stood out the most. His pair of fury yellow eyes burnt with passion. His giant fist-- that was used to punch the daylight out of the villain -- was engulfed with steam.

"Kids should be protected! Adults who bully these tiny runts are unmanly!"

The lifesaver yelled mockingly at the villain -- victim of his vicious punches. But too bad, he already lost his consciousness.

The heroic man turned to look at the timid boy. He crouched down in front of him, ruffling his fluffy dark green hair. "Must be scary for ya', lil' boy." A grin stretched on his face.

The man suddenly fell into silence. He observed Ichiru's appearance, as if the young boy seemed familiar to him.

"Man, you look like my former Young Lady! Just s mini version. Are you her secret love child or something?" The man laughed his heart out and picked up Ichiru. He raised him up high in the air, inspecting the little boy's appearance intently.

"Wait. You really look like her. No joke.."

He whispered to himself, wondering why this child resembled the woman he had been rambling about.

Somehow, Ichiru didn't fear this big guy. He was curious about him. Or more accurate, looked up to him. The man who just saved his life...had become his admiration. His honey yellow eyes sparkled with amazement.

"M-mister... What is your name...?"

"Huh? My name is Rappa, little boy."

Rappa confusedly answered his question. People rarely asked his name because they were afraid of him, considering how violent he was.

"Rappa.... Wah, Mommy's friend!"

Ichiru suddenly chirped in happiness. Cute laughters of his filled in the atmosphere. Ah, no wonder this man looked so familiar to him!

Ichiru still remembered. A few weeks ago, Izuku showed to him a photo album late at night, since he couldn't sleep. It was an album full of pictures of Shie Hassaikai members, including the Eight Bullets of Hassai group. Izuku introduced them as her unique friends. But among all of them, the one who piqued his interest the most was Rappa. Ichiru mysteriously grew interested in the ex-fighter.

In a total surprise, Rappa put Ichiru down back. He stared at him in disbelief, jaw dropped wide open. "Shoot, ya' are really her kid. Wow. I can't believe I will meet you so soon." He said.

"How are Overjerk and Midoriya doing?"

"O-over...jerk?"

"Wait, that girl is married to Overjerk so her last name is different. So, uh, how are Izuku and Overjerk doing?"

".... Overjerk?"

"Your daddy, kiddo."

"B-but Daddy's name is K-Kai..."

".... Yeah. But I call him 'Overjerk'. You should try calling him that, kiddo."

"Ichi... Call Daddy 'Overjerk?'?"

"Yeah! He will like it!"

"O-okay! Daddy Overjerk!"

Ichiru giggled gleefully again. Rappa smiled widely at the little kid. He picked him up and brought him out of the alleyway. Putting him down back, he told him,

"Go back to your family, kiddo. I got some business—"

But before the large guy could finish his words, Ichiru tugged on his pants, his eyes flooded with tears.
"Rappa... not go home with Ichi?"

'Damn, this kid is so— ugh, what can I say? Persistent? Wait, no. Wrong word.. Cute?' Rappa swore his face heated up when Ichiru acted so cute and innocent.

"I can't come with you, Ichi. Come on. Go back to Overjerk."

Rappa pushed him away before rushing back into the alley way, wanting to stay away as far as possible from Ichiru.

"Ichiru!"

Eri ran toward her little brother as soon as she spotted him. She hugged his little figure in desperation, tears rolled down her face. "Jeez! Where did you go? Stop worrying me like that again!" She sobbed as she tightened the hug.

"N-neechan..."

Ichiru buried his face in his big sister's chest, sobbing too. "It is okay now... I'm here for you. Let's go back to others." With that, Eri picked up Ichiru and walked back to the playground...
