A new friend!

Bullet continued to wait for days, wondering when Kaina would come back. He didn't leave the area, scared that she wouldn't be able to find him.

As such, things got a bit dicey.

Normally, Bullet would leave the alley after a few days to get better locations and secure food while also avoiding fights, mostly because the more you moved around the less chance that police would find you.

Everyone who lived on the streets was like this, the police didn't take kindly to begging actually.

Begging for money was useless because everyone had Quirks so you could make money if you weren't lazy. That was the thought process. However, this wasn't true. Most of the people who lived in the streets like Bullet were either abandoned very early, runaways, or villains.

They couldn't get a job even if they wanted to.

Bullet had seen many Quirks during his time as a streetrat, but Knuckleduster taught him how to adapt to Quirks, showing him that he didn't have to be afraid of Quirks at all. On the contrary, fighting strong Quirks was a joy in itself!

Knuckleduster got excited to fight strong Quirks, even going so far as to fight in an underground arena. Bullet went to go watch him a few times, cheering his favorite Hero on.

One time, someone wanted to kidnap Bullet and Knuckleduster beat him to death, it was quite fun!

At any rate, all of them were abandoned by society, it was easy to say go get a job, but it was much more complicated to achieve. Bullet, for example, was a ghost. He had no birth records, no traces of his own existence at all!

His parents erased his existence to cover up their actions, how could he even get a job? Maybe only as a villain, but Bullet hated villains! How could he do such a thing?

As Bullet waited, a week passed.

He suddenly found a new person stumbling into his alley.

He heard police sirens and looked at the girl running out of breath.

Bullet ran over and dragged her into the trash heap, hiding behind a garbage can. He covered her mouth as she was shocked that someone actually helped her. Bullet peeked around the trash to see the police looking everywhere for the girl.

Bullet noticed a dog head police man and turned to the girl, who was staring at him. He pushed her into the trash and rubbed dirt on her, whispering "No smell." the girl understood and they watched as the police sniffed the air, saying "Damn it. She's gone. Must've concealed herself… Check the alleys within a 2km radius!"

The girl wanted to leave but Bullet held her tight, hugging her close as he looked out, frowning slightly. She said "Let me go!" Bullet replied "Police. Bad. Stay." the girl retorted "It'll only get worse if we stay here!"

Bullet frowned and shook his head, "Wait. Stay. Mom pick up." the girl looked at him and asked "You have parents?" Bullet looked sad but smiled slightly, "No, real. New." as he showed her the bullet necklace from Kaina's hair.

The girl held the bullet and looked down his shirt to see his entire body riddled with scars, she looked up to see him smiling kindly at her, a big scar over his right eye. She smiled slightly and attacked him.

Bullet was shocked and grabbed her wrists, holding back the knife, asking in confusion "Why?" the girl licked her lips, saying "I love you!" Bullet was confused, not understanding at all.

He looked at her teeth and bloody appearance before saying "Blood. Quirk?" the girl smiled very happily, nodding "Himiko Toga." Bullet let out a breath and took the knife from her hands, sitting her down as he patted her shoulder happily, "Cool!"

Himiko was startled and Bullet pointed at her teeth before pointing at his shoulder, "Blood!" then he gestured between them, saying "Friends!" Himiko froze and stared at him in disbelief before biting on his shoulder.

Bullet covered his mouth, saying "Ow…" Himiko drank his blood before wiping her lips with a dirty sleeve. She smiled happily and spread her fingers saying "Watch!" Bullet was shocked as Himiko transformed into himself!

He clapped and smiled happily "Cool!" Himiko mimicked Bullet and giggled, before asking "Can you talk?" Bullet looked troubled in an instant, shaking his head, saying "No. Don't know. Abandon." he gestured to the trash, then pointed at himself, "Trash."

Himiko held his face and sighed. Bullet added, "No. Quirk." Himiko was stunned and bit on his shoulder again before wiping her lips again. She held his face and smiled "Friends."

Bullet's eyes sparkled and he nodded before pointing at his necklace, saying excitedly "Mom. Come. You. Come?" Himiko smiled happily and nodded, "Okay." Bullet laughed happily and hugged her in excitement. Himiko was startled and blushed unnaturally, Bullet pulled her to him and hugged her, rubbing his face on her cheek, saying "Friend!"

Himiko smiled slightly as Bullet let her go, saying quickly, "Stay." before running off, carrying a knife in a reverse grip and looking around cautiously. Himiko sat there and smiled crazily, a blush all over her face, giggling strangely.

Bullet came back to see her like this, he knocked on her head and smiled "Crazy Friend." Himiko came back to her senses and looked at him as he held out food, smiling "Hungry Friend?" Himiko took the food and ate it, smiling "Thank you!"

Bullet sat down next to her, giving her her knife before smiling "Me. Bullet." Himiko sat next to him and ate happily.

Slowly a month passed.
