Chapter 43

[author- it's baffling that some people who are just starting to read this complain about that it's a harem in the earlier chapters lol.

(2740 words for this chapter without the author note.)]

—————————————————

Dragon Hero Ryukyu, also known as Ryuko Tatsuma was getting ready to see her temporary 'Sidekick' off. The rank 9 Pro Hero had spent the day with Nejire patrolling around the area, and nothing noteworthy really happened during their time; except for a couple generic thugs who tried stealing from others.

Now standing in front of Nejire, Ryuko smirked at the girl and said "Is your boyfriend not picking you up again? It's a shame really. It would've been nice to meet him.

Maybe he's off with another girl right now..."

She wasn't entirely serious about her words, and she was sure that Nejire knew that herself. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said anything at all. Ryuko was genuinely a nice person, but she grew close to the girl. Close enough to tease her at times.

Of course Nejire herself has been around the older woman for so long that she knew when she was joking or not.

'Well, he actually does have another girl, Momo Yaoyorozu. Nejire said that she's been friends with her since childhood, and even considers her as a sister figure.

They even started dating that boy at the same time and have been in a happy relationship ever since. Honestly, I'm glad that it's all working out; but I still can't believe Nejire is in this type of relationship.

At first I thought that the boy was one of those teenagers. The ones that always play with a young ladies heart, but after hearing the stories from Nejire; he seems to be a great boyfriend and 'friendly if you don't annoy him.'

I guess I can't really judge Nejire if that's the type of relationship she wants to be in. Every time the girl talks about her little boyfriend, it's like her usual cherry mood is dialed up a few notches.

Also, it's not really my business to interfere with whatever they have going on. What matters most is that she's happy.' The dragon hero thought to herself.

"Ryuko, Madara doesn't pick me up because I leave here at random times. Sometimes you let me go early, and other times it could be very late.

Oh! And he said he'll come see you when he has time."

"I'm right here Nejire." A voice sounded out which startled the pro hero a bit since she wasn't able to notice when the person got inside.

They were in a room that could be considered Ryuko's office. So with the door and windows closed, it was pretty strange that this person was able to easily get in here.

But of course the young teenage girl named Nejire wasn't startled at all. Except, she was surprised that her boyfriend was even here. So she did the only logical thing. Jumped up into the air and wrap herself around him like a koala as she kisses him.

The dragon hero definitely felt out of place and awkward when in front of the two teenagers display of affection. It's not like she found it disgusting or anything, it was just that she's known Nejire as this innocent and sweet curious girl; so seeing her act like this with a boy was definitely an odd experience.

"Madara! Why'd you come here?" The girl said with a big smile as she faced the Uchiha with her legs still wrapped around him. She didn't bother separating from him to stand whatsoever. Why stand when Madara could just hold her? To her, that was definitely better.

"I haven't picked you up before. So I decided to do it today. Also, didn't you say Ryukyu wanted to meet me?" Madara explained to Nejire as he held her waist.

The girl herself was about to kiss him again, but a cough sounded out within the room.

"*cough* So do you mind telling me why you decided to sneak in here instead of just checking in with the people at the front and requesting to meet me?" Ryuko questioned the long haired boy who put Nejire down.

Walking up to the dragon hero that was dressed in a dark red traditional qipao with a pale green scale trim. Madara himself had to admit that she was a pretty woman with her short blonde hair and yellow eyes with slit pupils.

Putting his hand out for a greeting, the Uchiha looked Ryuko in the eyes and said. "Madara Uchiha, it's nice to finally meet you. I hope you can understand why I teleported inside of here instead of the usual way. I was just too excited to see Nejire." Madara said with a smile, saying his words as truthful as possible.

He was definitely excited to see Nejire, but he mostly just teleported inside here because he was lazy. Like, if you have a type of teleportation power, you use it right?

Ryuko herself observed how Madara carried himself and how he approached her. No sort of nervousness when greeting her which got her attention. Ryuko wasn't one to brag about popularity or anything, but she knew that she was a pretty popular hero. Being ranked 9, people would sometimes get nervous when meeting her.

You could say it was like when a fan meets a famous celebrity.

Ryuko also noticed the way Madara walked. From being a pro hero for so long, she was able to notice the small details. Just from his demeanor, the Dragon Hero could tell that this young man in front of her was powerful.

How powerful? She herself didn't know the answer to that.

Shaking Madara's hand, Ryuko smiled and said "Looking how happy you made Nejire, I could ignore all this; but I advice you to be careful to who you do this to next time. Some pro heroes could just flat out try to arrest you or think that you are a villain and attack on sight."

"Hmm, I'll definitely remember that. Also, Nejire said you wanted to meet me?" Madara questioned the woman as he separated his hand from hers.

"Yes, at first it was because you were this ladies boyfriend, which greatly surprised me; but I also wanted to meet the student who the pro heroes can't seem to stop talking about.

I was also surprised by how powerful your quirk was when watching the Sports Festival." Ryuko said with a smile and continued off by saying

"And you're already showing signs of being a great hero in the future. Saving those hostages and easily stopping the villains who tried robbing that bank.

You must've worked and trained very hard to get where you are right now." The dragon hero said to Madara who nodded at her with a smile. She was the type of person to praise someone who deserved it, and in her opinion; Madara definitely deserved it.

"Oh he trains a lot. I don't think he's even missed a single day of working out and training his quirk in some sort of way. Sometimes he just doesn't know when it stop..." Nejire said while shaking her head. Being with Madara for years, she knew how serious he was when it comes to training.

Hearing Nejire's words, Ryuko chuckled. Looking at Madara again, she noticed the tight muscle shirt he was wearing that obviously showed off the results of intense training.

"My eyes are up here..." Madara said to the older woman who laughed when she heard his words.

"Mouu, stop checking out my boyfriend Ryuko." Nejire said as she stood next Madara and held his arms.

Nejire was obviously joking, and the two other people that were in the room knew that. She knew that the dragon hero wasn't checking out her boyfriend.

Seeing how Madara and Ryuko got along, she couldn't help but smile. Looks like she didn't have to worry about them not really liking each other, but knowing what type of person Ryuko is; she knew that wasn't a possibility.

"Well, thank you for being such a good boyfriend to Nejire. I would also like to meet that Momo girl one day as well since Nejire talks about her all the time." Ryuko said with a smile.

Nodding to her Madara said "I'm sure she'll like to see you too.

We're going to go now, it was nice talking to you." And he was being truthful when he said that. Ryuko wasn't a bad person or someone who annoyed him. She was the humble and gentle type, so Madara had no problem talking to her.

"Bye Ryuko!" Nejire said before disappearing with Madara in a swirl of flames.

[author- no she's not in the harem, no Ryuko doesn't have a crush on Madara. Teasing is a thing...]

[Sometime Later]

Currently at the Yaoyorozu mansion, Madara was on one the sofas with Momo and Nejire cuddled up to his sides. When he arrived home, Momo was already there since she took the train home pretty early today.

On the other sofa, Aiko and Jun were sitting together as they watched the news that talked about the heroes not being able to catch Stain yet. This obviously got the mother to worry.

"I'm just happy that Momo, Madara and Nejire's agencies aren't near Hosu City. I don't know how'd I would feel if something happened to those three Jun.." Aiko said to her husband, but it was loud enough for the Uchiha to hear.

Madara himself thought about if he should just show how powerful he was to his parents so they'd stop worrying so much. Would susanoo work? He doubted that. With Aiko being a mother, she'd worry about anything.

'Maybe sinking Japan or using 'Kirin' would show her that she doesn't need to worry about something bad ever happening; and that Momo and Nejire are always going to be safe with my protection.' Madara thought to himself.

"Calm down Aiko. I'm sure the heroes that they are working for will protect them. Trust your son and daughters that they won't get into this sort of problem with that Hero Killer." Jun said to his wife, and continued off by saying

"But I do hope he gets caught soon. His actions so far could be encouraging other villains to do the same as him. That is certainly a problem..."

Madara certainly agreed with his father's words since that's exactly what happened in canon. At least from what he remembered.

Getting off from the sofa, Madara stretched and said "Well, I'm going to go get in a little workout, then probably take a small nap. You two want to join me?"

Nejire and Momo nodded and went to get changed into their workout clothes and then went with Madara towards their indoor gym.

Yup, no matter how many years Madara has been reborn into this world, he hasn't gotten bored with living the rich life.

———————————————

With the late afternoon sky, you could see three figures standing on top of a building, looking over at the peaceful and calm scenery of Hosu City. Of course this would all soon change, and nobody would expect it.

"So what exactly are you going to do here?" Tomura questioned the infamous Hero Killer. It was obvious by the tone of his voice that he didn't have the slightest care on what the man was going to do, and Stain himself knew that; but he still answered anyways.

"Cleansing society of the false heroes. I'm sure you know of this already." Stain simply said to the man child that had a hand on his face.

"You're an idiot..." Tomura responded back, not agreeing with the Hero Killer's ideology at all. He himself thought that cleansing wasn't enough.

What Tomura wanted was to kill All Might. The Number 1 Pro Hero who has impacted the public as a whole during his time being a hero. So what did Tomura need to do? Destroy that society that the hero represented, and completely reshape it.

Ignoring his words, Stain jumped down and disappeared into the city to continue with his usual bloodshed. The bloodshed he thought was necessary....

"He's certainly is an interesting individual." Kurogiri finally spoke up, having stayed silent during the exchange of Tomura and Stain.

"He's wasting his time. His method will never work." Tomura said to Kurogiri as he shook his head.

"No. His actions has already impacted the people as a whole. Villains as well. All For One has even speculated that we'd possibly be getting new recruits after this.

The way he does things and the reason he does it may be flawed, but it's getting the job done. That's all that matters for us..." Kurogiri explained to the one he's supposed to serve.

"Tch, bring out the Nomus Kurogiri. It's time to start our plan." Tomura ordered before Nomus came out of Kurogiri's portals to start wrecking havoc.

———————————————

Laying on the bed with his two girls cuddled up to his side, Madara's eyes shot wide open as he realized what was about to happen.

'I guess it's time...' the Uchiha thought to himself as he separated from the two girls and went to go put on his usual red armor. As he was doing that, he couldn't help but realize how much time it actually takes to get dressed in his hero outfit.

'I'll definitely have to figure out what to do about that. Just a small little costume upgrade. Nothing too flashy or unnecessary." Madara thought to himself, but left that thought to linger in the back of his head.

All of it didn't matter since he had a hero killer to go meet up with and talk to.

"Mmm, Madara?"

"What you are doing? Get back in bed."

The voices of his two girlfriends sounded out as he just got done putting the last piece of armor on. Madara turned around to face them and said

"Meeting up with the infamous Hero Killer..." Madara casually replied. There was no use in lying to them about any of this. One might think that he'd be having them worry for him, but that's not true at all. Momo and Nejire both know what he's capable off.

"*sigh* of course you are. We saw how interested you were with the news earlier, and you never pay attention when the news is ever on the TV. So naturally I thought you'd do something like this." The black haired girl said as she sat up and rubbed her eyes.

"You know me so well Momo." Madara said with a smile as he strapped his Bo Staff/Gunbai on his back. He looked over at Nejire, just to see her half asleep.

It seems like all she wanted to do right now was go to bed and sleep all day.

The periwinkle haired girl let out a long yawn and simple said "Mmm, have fun Madara. Even though you're very powerful, make sure that you don't underestimate the Hero Killer. After all, anything could happen."

Yes, this was something that Ryukyu has taught Nejire long ago during internships. Even if you have a strong quirk and it's sure that your opponent is no match for your power; never underestimate them. The dragon hero has explained to Nejire one day that some villains would do anything not to get caught. Some things you wouldn't even expect them to do.

Walking to the edge of the huge bed, Madara had Momo and Nejire come close so he could give them a kiss goodbye. After that, he made sure he didn't forget anything and said

"I most likely won't take long, so there's no need to stay up and wait for me. You can go back to sleep."

"Ok Madara. Also, I don't think you have to worry about Aiko and Jun. They'd definitely worry a shit ton for your well-being, but right now they're very distracted." Momo sad to her boyfriend, causing him to shake his head with a sigh.

'Must be their usual 'sessions'. Damn, I still can't believe Jun was that type of person. Maybe that's why Momo-" Madara was thinking to himself, but was brought out of his thoughts when Nejire and Momo both said bye to him.

"Hn. See you guys later." He said before he disappeared in a small bolt of blue lightning.

Nejire and Momo listened to Madara's words and went to sleep instead of waiting for him to come back. They got close and cuddled each other to wait for their boyfriend by sleeping like a baby.
