Chapter One

-x-x-x-

'It's raining again. Always...always cold...when it rains. I like the rain; it helps me hide my tears when it's raining. No one sees me cry when it rains. I really...really like...the rain…'

"We're all searching,

times unfolding,

trying to fill our lives with meaning..."

Such a beautiful voice, weaving through the streets and drifting through the ears of the few who still lingered out in the rainstorm and the chill.

"Still we're learning how to breathe amongst…

...the pain...and suffering…

...suffering...and suffering…

...all we need...all we need…

...is peace of mind...peace of mind..."

From the distance, heavy footfalls could be heard echoing through the streets, the sound bouncing off the stone walls and alleys, the rain becoming chaotic, blue eyes lifting...in the distance, a villain...running...being pursued by justice.

"Stooop Running Awaaaay~"

The steps came to an abrupt halt, shock echoing the streets, now abandoned by the civilians who had sought coverage from the rainfall. The man who fought against the force stopping his escape, turned skittish and freaked out eyes onto a young girl crouched against a wall, knees tucked into her chest. Her body drenched from the heavily falling rain.

"I... can't move?!"

"That's good news for me," a hand shot out and struck hard against the back of the villains' neck, knocking him unconscious and down into the asphalt and puddles of rain.

"Beliefs are changing…

...still we're paying…

...power holding back the people…

...all we need...is peace of mind..."

The girl finished singing as she stared at the man lying on the ground, no longer conscious from the blow to the back of his neck.

"So, is that your Quirk?"

"...I call it harmonic control...but I don't know, what it is really."

"Your voice had a different effect me." The voice of the man who had stayed hidden in the shadows, finally had a face as the man walked up and crouched down in front of the girl. "I felt at ease, and calm..."

"...I wasn't aiming my command at you...if I sing, normally it has a default calming effect on those who hear. Or, that's what everyone tells me. To be honest, I've only made commands a handful of times, and they only work when used in harmonic melody." The girl let her blue eyes wander over the man who was blanketed all in black.

"...why aren't you at home with your family, kid?"

"That kind of question...you must not come across orphans often. Only a fool would ask such a rude question."

He raised a brow at her attitude, "do you like being an orphan? Such a personality, no one would think of giving such a brat a home with a mouth like yours." Though the comment was cruel, it was said in such a bored tone, the girl just looked confused.

"...I don't like it...it's not like I chose to be an orphan."

"Then maybe, you should be a bit nicer to prospective parents."

"Prospective...parents? Is that what you are, mister? A... prospective parent?" She smiled at the uncertain look in his eyes, "what is your name?"

"Eraserhead."

She laughed, "not your hero name, your birth name. You've got one, don't you?"

"...Aizawa, Shota...what's yours?"

"Kagome, I don't know my last name...if I ever had one."

"How old are you, Kagome?"

"...I'm six..."

He looked at her for a moment before standing and turning to the criminal he'd knocked out, a police cruiser should be on its way to pick the villain up since he'd messaged them the coordinates before laying out his attack on the man. He looked back to Kagome, "I'm only twenty-two, so I don't even know if I'll be a good guardian, but...if Aizawa, Kagome doesn't sound too strange to you...I wouldn't be opposed to learning..."

The rain had started to give out, lightening around them until it had almost completely stopped. Kagome felt her eyes burning with tears as she tried to keep them at bay. However, gravity had other plans for her, as she couldn't stop them from falling in the end. "You said you're willing to learn...but you aren't doing so bad...as you are..."

Aizawa brought a hand to the small girl's hair as she cried brokenly in front of him. 'Six years old, she's so small and frail… I honestly thought she was four or five at the oldest. Damn...how long has she been on her own, to get like this?' From the corner of his eyes, he saw the red and blue lights flashing silently in the night as they made their way towards the criminal to pick him up and tote him off to a prison cell.

He bent forward and lifted the girl into his arms, like him, she was completely soaked to the bone. He jumped back into the shadows and onto the rooftop of the building closest to him just as the cruiser pulled up for the fool of a villain he'd taken out, with the surprising help of the trembling young girl he held closely in his arms.

"Let's get you into some warmer...dryer clothes, and some food would do you some considerable good too..." he glanced down at the girl as she jumped from rooftop to rooftop. 'She's asleep...' he sighed and made his way home, "kid, I don't know if I can do this right, but I will do everything I can to raise you, train you...and protect you. That's a promise..."
