13 The Reason and Decision.

"May I know the reason for this statement?"-Shido

"Yes... You see, father of Fuyumi...he is very strict and adamant on the topic of quirk and strength, and from Fuyumi, I know you are quirkless, so it is very probable that after knowing about your relationship with Fuyumi, he will not acknowledge it and may try to break your relationship with her."-Rei said in a apologetic tone, thinking I will blame her family for it.

"Thanks for the heads-up"-Shido

Not expecting such a reply from me, Rei had a shocked expression on her face.

"I think I should leave now, as it is close to the time limit for meeting patients."-Shido

I said and stood up, called Fuyumi who was outside the door. She came in and said goodbyes with her mother, but her mother still had some conflicting expression on her face, thinking about the future of her daughter and how she can't even do anything to help her.

While Fuyumi was saying goodbyes, I hired a taxi through phone and waited for her. After that, we entered the taxi and the taxi went towards Fuyumi house.

"You shouldn't have said about the separation part, you know?"-Fuyumi

"I know, Just your request to say something made me blurt out whatever I could gather, without thinking what I was saying."-Shido

"So... What did mom said while I was outside?"-Fuyumi

"If it was a thing you should know, then she wouldn't have requested you to leave the room."-Shido

"Now don't be like that Shido, just say it..please..please.. aren't you my lovely boyfriend."-Fuyumi said with puppy eyes.

Looking at this cliché happening to me, I can only sigh and said

"Your mother said our relationship may not long last."-Shido

"What??... I mean How?"-Fuyumi asking frantically.

"Let's talk about it later."-Shido said while moving his eyes towards the taxi driver.

Fuyumi understood and said to the taxi driver

"Can you drop us to a café?"-Fuyumi

The taxi driver just nodded and changed his route.

After reaching the café, she reserved a private room for us and took my hand and rushed in.

"NOW, Tell me.."-Fuyumi

"Wait, first calm down a bit, take some deep breaths."-Shido, trying to decrease her tension a bit before dropping the bomb on her.

"Now, I am fine, say it Shido, don't make me wait anymore."-Fuyumi

"Well as I mentioned earlier, your mother said our relationship will not last long, that means break in the future."-Shido

"I know what 'not last long means'... tell me reason for it"-Fuyumi still frantic

"She said after your father knows about you having a relationship with a quirkless person, he will not acknowledge it and is expected to do something which may break our relationship, as he is very strict towards quirks while I am quirkless."-Shido

Listening to this, Fuyumi's shoulder slumped while her head hung low. Tears started dropping from her eyes.

"Why..... He was never around.. when mom was raising us.. he just abused Shoto and mom... When mom went to mental asylum... grandma(Rei's mother) took care of us, After she passed away.. I... I tried to handle everything... helping Natsuo for college entrance... Bandaging Shoto after his training with him... but when my time has come to find some ... happiness.. why is he.... why..why? "-Fuyumi muttering in low voice as tears dropping from her eyes.

I placed my hand on her shoulder making her to look at me with tearful eyes. I just hugged her and patting her back slowly, lifting her mood a bit.

"Fuyumi, don't be stressed out that much, this is just a speculation and he hasn't done anything yet. When I meet your family and he doesn't acknowledge our relationship then... "-Shido said still hugging her.

Fuyumi breaks from the hug and looks into my eyes, "Then..?"

My eyes become sharper, while I said "Then, I will make him acknowledge our relationship."

She smiles a bit with tears still in her eyes but the reason for tears is different, from sadness to tears from happiness and relief.

After spending some time, talking about random topics and ordering food from the café, her mood returned to normal. We concluded the date and left the café. We were walking down the road while holding hands, enjoying the little peaceful moments we can share.

While we were walking, a loud scream of a woman reached surfaced

When I turned towards the source of scream, which I can identify easily because of my heightened senses. I found a hooligan cornering a woman against a wall while having his hand, which is pointed as a knife, raised. The woman again shouted

"HELLLPP.... Please... Hellppp me... please" The woman said, tearing up more and more, as death was just inches away from her.

I decided to help this woman and this time I had the perfect solution for hiding my identity, which is to equip face covering clothes which are face bandanas or balaclava(Burglar mask), bought from Clothing shops in GTA San Andreas which I did during my training, while I was thinking about hiding my identity. It is equiped instantaneously and these clothes are very durable.

I wanted to rush but Fuyumi was holding my hand with ours fingers interlocked. She was in a stupor watching the scene with a distressed look on her face. I wanted to free my hand and rush towards the woman but Fuyumi was holding it tightly, not letting it go while her entire attention was on the scene.

Patience of the hooligan ended up, he raised his hand to attack the woman, when his hand slashed down to cut the woman, it got stuck in wood. Feeling the resistance, the hooligan realized someone is between his target. he looked to the one who interrupted him. The man had a brown helmet-like head and his arms are made of wood.

But before he could make any conclusions, he was knocked out by the man.

Someone from the gathered crowd recognized him and said his name aloud,

"Wood Hero- Kamui Woods".

I recognized him but didn't give much thought, the scene was over. I hired a taxi and brought Fuyumi to her home, we didn't said anything during the ride. The taxi then stopped outside my house, I paid him and went to my room absentmindedly. The screams for help were still lingering in my mind. I just cannot shirk them off my mind. I think this will stay for days. The helplessness and the fear in the voice is making me feel bad for doing nothing, even after all this training to increase my power.

I, then made a decision

"It is time to get some field experience."
