8 Rabbit Hero Mirko
After waiting in the old woman's house for several hours, Aiden found himself staring at a woman with long rabbit ears. Her skin was quite dark which was unusual for someone who was Japanese. In fact it was the same shade as his own. Her eyes were red and she had long white hair that reached her waist. He also noticed that she had a fluffy bunny tail that he found adorable and couldn't take his eyes off it. Of course other people would think that he was staring at her ass but Aiden couldn't really give two sh*ts about what other people thought.
If he had to describe the woman in one word, it would be intimidating. Sure she had beauty that most women couldn't compete with, then there was the fact that she was a bunny girl which only gave her extra points in his opinion, but the fact that her aura was so fiery kind of deterred men from approaching her.
This woman was Rumi Usagiyama, one of the top 10 pro heroes in Japan.

Dear Rumi
If you're reading this then it means I failed to return home. Should you be handed this letter by a tan skinned boy with purple eyes then I know that I at least didn't fail everyone.
I know I've never supported your dream of becoming a hero and even chastised you and your parents for your decision. But in this old age of mine I've come to realise that I may have been too harsh on you. The life of a hero is one fraught with danger and many heroes die young. It is a life I never envisioned for you and hope that you'll one day give it up before it's too late. I do not say this to scold you or your dream but out of love. You are my precious granddaughter and I want you to live a long joyous life. One where you'll never have to put your life on the line for others or worry about your own safety. But if you do continue to be a hero despite all my warnings, then at least be the best.
Yours Sincerely Tadeo Usagiyama
P.S. As my last wish please take care of the boy for me (I know you have the money). His name is Aiden Cross and like you he is extremely stubborn, badmouthed and believes that working with a team is a sign of weakness. If you have any reservations about taking him in just know that I've trained that boy for the past decade and his strength should be to your satisfaction (Though you can train him more if you feel he is lacking). He's had a tough life and with me and the rest of his family gone I can only imagine what he's feeling… Please take care of him Rumi.

Raising her head from the letter, the rabbit hero couldn't help but scowl at the young boy. For her grandfather to go to such lengths just to have him taken care of pissed her off. She hadn't heard from him for the past 10+ years and the first news she gets is him telling her to take care of some kid! How fucking free does he think she is!
"Oi brat."
"Hmm?" He raised his head.
Taking a proper look at the tanned boy she realized that he was actually quite handsome. And although his shirt hid most of it, it couldn't hide the developed muscles on his figure. All this lead to Rumi raising an eyebrow and giving him a mental evaluation. As one of the top 10 heroes in Japan, she had a discerning eye for discerning someone's physical capabilities at a glance. Of course this only related to someone's base strength and didn't include those with strength enhancing quirks.
Nodding her head slightly she looked at the boy in his eyes.
"Aiden right?"
"Yeah." He nodded.
The two sat in silence for a bit until Rumi asked a question that had been tugging on her mind.
"How did he die?"
He wasn't surprised by the question but held back on cursing the villains and heroes who set them up.
"T-There was a fire... He and the rest of my family didn't make it."
Although he was calm, his voice couldn't help but crack with a bit of emotion when he mentioned their deaths. He knew that this woman was a hero and to preserve her view of her grandfather he decided not to talk about the mercenaries and how Dark Star killed heroes.
"I see..." Her eyes lost focus for a second before returning to normal. "Do you know what's written in this?" She waved the letter in front of his face.
"I thought it would be rude to look so I left it sealed."
"Ha! Quite the respectful guy aren't you." She chuckled.
"I think its normal for people to not open letters not addressed to them."
"Yeah but you're not normal, you're American!"
"What does that have to do with anything?" He asked slightly confused.
"Americans aren't the most respectful people when it comes to things like privacy." She shrugged still laughing at the fact that an American didn't invade her privacy.
Feeling his lip twitch, he responded with a smile on his face. "That's funny cause I heard that Japanese women were conservative but your outfit seems to disagree."
"Eh?" She looked down at her clothes. "You got a problem with my outfit!" She slammed her hand on the table.
Feeling her fiery aura increase, Aiden should have probably quit while he was ahead but his pride as an assassin didn't let him back down in the face of danger let alone an angry woman.
[A/n: Some say that danger is synonymous with an angry woman.]
"Yeah I do, you look like a glorified slut!"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY BRAT!!" She exploded when she heard him call her a slut.
"THE FUCK YOU MEAN WHAT DID I SAY! CAN YO BIG ASS, LOPSIDED ASS, CROOKED-LOOKING ASS EARS NOT HEAR ME PROPERLY! YOU HOE ASS LOOKING, RED EYE HAVING, BIG FOREHEAD SHINING MUTHAF*CKA!"
"EH!!" Not expecting his level of aggression, Rumi was left momentarily stunned and unable to reply.
"WHAT! You think your special cause your a pro hero? Bitch you ain't worth SHIT!"
"I'm in the top 10-
"I DON'T GIVE A DAMN IF YOU WERE IN THE TOP 3! GET YO ASS BACK IN YOUR SEAT! OLD NASTY ASS LOOKING RABBIT TRYING TO STEP UP TO ME! GET YO ASS BACK! ALL THE WAY BACK!!!"
