A/N: Hello all. Welcome to my newest story. If you are all familiar with me, then you would know that I am that crazy guy who likes to write fanfiction about the Beast's of Humanity from FGO. This one featuring Primate Murder, or Fou, (thank you people who voted) crossed over with My Hero Aca. To be honest, it was either between my hero, fairy tail and pokemon. One last thing, due to the fact that the only thing really known about Primate Murder's powers is that he is like Arcueid on steroids, I will be improvising a lot. (thanks reviewers for your advice) right onto the show.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. PS: The first part is dark, just saying.
Edit: Thank you to all the people who pointed out about Nezu. That was a mistake on my part.
Izuku Midoriya, known as Deku by his 'friends' (Bullies), was not having a good day. Scratch that, this was probably the worst day of his life. First Kacchan destroyed his hero notes, and told him to go jump off a roof. Then he got assaulted by a villain, and was saved by All Might, the number one hero. Who then crushed Midoriya's dreams. And when the exact same villain assaulted Kacchan, he worked up his courage to finally save someone and fulfill his dream of becoming a hero. And almost died as a result, making the situation actively worse. All MIght saved the day, thankfully, but Deku was rightfully scolded for being so stupid.
All that led to here, walking through the small patch of woods next to the local park before he went home. Izuku liked to come here every now and then whenever he was feeling down in the dumps (which as a Quirkless, was quite often). These woods helped clear his mind, and help him escape from the cold reality that he would never attain his dream. That Kacchan, his mother, All Might, and everyone else were just telling him the cold truth. That no matter how hard he tried, he was just a worthless piece of garbage.
Kacchan said to throw himself off a roof, that no one would miss him. Maybe he had a point- "F-Fou?"
Deku was shaken out of his thought by a pained groan. He looked around, trying to find the source of the sound. He paused, waiting for whatever made that sound to do so again.
"F-fou?" There it was, behind a small tree. He quickly peeked around it and saw a strange creature lying there. It looked like a small squirrel, but its fur was pure white and was the fluffiest thing he has ever seen. Unfortunately, the fluff effect was kind of ruined by its injured front leg, which looked like someone dragged a knife right down the limb, leaving a long and painful gash. Izuku felt nauseous just looking at it.
"Are you okay!?" Izuku shouted before he could stop himself. Not only did he just shout at an injured animal and expected a reply, it was quite obviously not okay.
As he was kicking himself even more than usual over his stupidity, the squirrel froze and turned to look at him. It locked eyes with him, and Deku froze. He didn't know why, but he felt like he was in more danger than he has ever been before. Even more than when that villain attacked him just a few hours ago. He didn't know why, but he instinctively knew that a single wrong move, and he was dead.
Trying to control his bladder, he broke eye contact with the creature, and looked around. Was some unknown quirk causing this? Did the villain have any friends, and they wanted revenge on him? No that wouldn't make any sense, they would have attacked him by now, and this squirrel seemed to be just fine. Is this some sort of trap then? A sort of bounded field quirk that a villain would use to guard against anyone who intruded in his lair? No, that makes no sense. The villain would have found him and taken him down by now.
On and on his mind went, never considering that maybe the squirrel was the one emitting the fear aura, and that it was getting really annoyed at being ignored. In Izuku's defense, only humans (with one exception) were able to use quirks, so wild animals using quirks was completely foreign to him.
The squirrel watched in fascination as Izuku completely zoned out of situation and fell into deep muttering. The squirrel wasn't too sure how to feel about all of this. On one paw, it was in pain and a human was sort of disrespecting it by completely ignoring it and its gaze. On the other paw, what the human was whispering was surprisingly insightful. It was running through several scenarios, and disproving them a second later. If the squirrel left the human to its own devices, it might solve the riddle of what is standing before him.
Eventually the squirrel decided enough was enough, and let out a loud "Fou!" causing Izuku to jump at the sudden sound. He blushed in embarrassment and bowed his head while shouting "I'm sorry!" The squirrel sweat dropped, feeling slightly guilty at startling the human.
"Kyu." It said, hoping to get the boy to raise his head, and just leave. Ok, the boy was slowly raising its head, that's good. Now he is coming closer, not so good.
Izuku sighed in embarrassment as he was snapped out of his bad habit. He liked analyzing things, and that lead to many embarrassing moments, especially when it was one of his (many) bullies that caught him in that state. He would become completely oblivious to the world, so naturally they would prank him in some way.
Shaking his head out of his depressing thoughts, he kneeled down to get a better look at the squirrel's injury. He blinked in surprise. The wound was still a nasty thing, and he had to actively suppress his nausea, but if he didn't know any better, the wound was a hell of a lot deeper before. He shook his head, and reached out and picked up the squirrel.
The squirrel froze and struggled. Izuku held onto it tightly, making sure it wouldn't hurt itself. He couldn't just leave it out here to die. With a wound like that, literally anything could kill it. His mind made up, he turned around and started running out of the forest. As soon as he reached home, he would ask his mother to call a vet.
This was not going according to the squirrel's plan, like at all. It was supposed to be laying low for awhile, having finally escaped from the cage placed on it by Alaya. So what if it was injured in the escape, give it a few hours and it will be fine. As long as it made itself non threatening to the bulk of humanity, then it can stay hidden.
And It's not like it hated humans, or anything like that, it just followed the desires of man. To always overcome each other, such behavior empowered it and attracted it. The earth always pointed out the best places to attack, and so it would fight as mankind wishes to. But this boy did not wish battle, instead he just wished to help. And even with its glare, this form couldn't do anything more, especially with how drained it was from the escape. Seriously, this all started with that bastard cock wizard showing him those visions. Fuck that guy.
The squirrel sighed, and gave up its struggle. It would let the boy help it, and after it sees that it is not necessary, the human will throw it away. Then it would be able to hide out, and hunt down that fucker. With the planet oddly quiet, it could do whatever it wished.
As Izuku called a cab to rush home, the squirrel laid its head down on his shoulder. This small detour would mean nothing in the end. Then Izuku started rubbing it right behind the ears.
The Primate Murder lost all thought as its world fell into bliss.

"Izuku, I don't see why you are so worried. It's just a small cut." A short plump woman said to her panicking son. She finished wrapping a small bandage around the ball of fluff, and shot a smile at her son.
"See, good as new."
The squirrel let out a small "Fou" and stretched itself out, like a cat. Inko Midoriya instinctively rubbed its head. It was the cutest thing, second only to her son's relieved smile. It helped relieve the intense stress she felt today.
The reality of the stress was that Inko was worried sick today, mainly because she saw her son on the news. The news anchor wasted no time in explaining how All MIght saved some idiot kid who rushed into save his friend from a villain attack. He also made sure to add that in a situation like that, it is best to just let the pro heros do their thing, and any parent who let their kid do something like that is just irresponsible.
Of course, Inko wanted to hear her son's side of the story, but seeing the sadness behind his eyes, and the trembling in his hands, she knew now was not the time. Something had shaken him, more than usual. He would have confided in her if it was the villain, but he wasn't. And worst of all was that he was barely holding it together. The fact that he exaggerated how badly the poor thing was hurt only emphasized that. Her son was hurting, and there was nothing she could do. Inko wanted to cry.
To add insult to injury, her son was quirkless, and in a world where everyone was special, even her, being quirkless was a death sentence. Quirkless were the ones picked on and outcasted by society. They were the last ones to get a job, and they had the highest suicide rate globally. Society wouldn't change this, mainly because there was nothing they could do to accommodate them. They were ordinary, and it was only natural that the extraordinary outpaced them in everything. It made Inko sick to her stomach.
Izuku needed something to take the edge off, something to distract him from the world. She looked down at the squirrel that was obediently letting itself be pet, and at Izuku's smile. She suddenly had an idea.
Izuku shook his head "Sorry mom, I was sure that it was hurt way worse than this."
"Its alright Izuku, you just saw how hurt it was and you panicked. Don't worry it's fine." She smiled at her son's kind heart. Time to put her plan into motion.
She looked down at the little creature and said "Still, I don't think we should let it go out to the wild, at least not yet. With how its leg was, it must hurt every time it put weight on it."
Her son's eyes widened at her words and he nodded in agreement. He seemed to think for a moment and said "Should we keep it? It seems comfortable with us, and I don't want it locked up in a cage somewhere till it's released."
There it was, her son's kind heart. She nodded her head in agreement "I don't mind if you keep it, Izuku. If it seems like the cut is actually serious, then we will run right over to the vet. I know enough about taking care of small animals that he should be fine."
Izuku's eyes lit up, and he picked up the little thing in his arms. It looked him in the eye, tilting its head in curiosity. Izuku smiled so brightly, that the room was dim by comparison. "Did you hear that little guy, we will be taking care of you for now. At least until you're all better."
Huh, if she didn't know any better, she would say that the creature's mouth dropped open. It seemed to have a sort of look in its eye that said 'THIS WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!'
Before she can contemplate any further, a ding went off from her oven. She quickly ran over, and pulled out a tray of piping hot cookies. Izuku reached out and took two. He smiled and handed one over to the squirrel.
"Here Fou, want a cookie?"
The creature tilted its head at the name, before nodding and taking a tentative nibble out of the cookie. One second later, the sweet was gone, and there were crumbs everywhere.

Primate Murder stood on the windowsill of Izuku's room, looking at the moon. Izuku was currently sleeping in his bed. It was not an easy night for the boy. He went through several phases of anguish, from crying to tearing up his notebooks, to muttering that he only wanted to be a hero over and over again. It was only when he gave him a small lick on the face that the boy finally calmed down.
Primate Murder turned its head away from the moon and looked at the boy. Still no envy, still no hatred. Only sadness. It sighed and hopped onto the boy's chest. The boy helped him when he clearly didn't have to, bathing him and feeding him food that was clearly not meant for him. And most importantly, he named the Primate Murder.
Fou looked at the young human who showed him more kindness than any other creature of this world, and let out a small sigh. The boy was a fool, but an innocent one. From what he understood, the dream that the boy possessed was an impossible one, and something that the Primate Murder shouldn't lower itself to watch. But it couldn't leave now, not after everything that was done to help. It has decided, it will stay a few more days, and watch over the boy. At least until he was feeling better.
Fou nodded to itself, and put its head down, falling to sleep. As it slept, it dreamed of non-existent battles, of two humans who fought against the impossible. And of a sacrifice that was made to preserve something beautiful.
A/N: Well that was something. Lets answer some questions: 1) This is not the Fou of FGO, it is a free version of the Primate Murder that was influenced by Merlin. His personality is different as a result. 2) The chances of Chaldea appearing in this story is most likely not happening. 3) This is not a oneshot. Shocker right? It will be continued later on. However, internet problems have been occurring recently so stay tuned.
Also, I will try to make this a little bit more lighthearted, because depressed Deku makes everyone sad. Alright, I wish you all a peace out.
