Panic. That was what Aizawa was feeling at the moment. He tried to calm himself by running a hand through his hair as he looked around the dark area.
The mall went black out, leaving everyone in total darkness.
And he knew you didn't like it, but he couldn't find you, he couldn't even hear you nor Shohei
He was regretting everything. He should have just bought the clothes for you, letting you fit them at home and just going back if it was the wrong size.
"Shohei?! Kid?!" He should have taken into consideration your feelings and the possible trauma you had with people. He should have thought more about you rather than prioritizing your clothes or anything else. He should have waited til you were already well adjusted to the world before doing anything like this.
"Kid! Shohei!" Aizawa roared in the darkness, not seeing anything but pitch black. He should have been more vigilant. He should have taken into consideration that there will be people hunting his kids.

"We're having a visitor today." Aizawa sighed, sitting on the dining table with the two kids. They were currently eating pancakes.
Shohei was quick to inhale all of it while you were quite reluctant, seeing as they were cat shaped and you felt like eating them would be eating either of your three cats.
"Its a pancake." Aizawa told you with a small smile, he could see the worry in your eyes. "You can eat it."
"C-at."
"Honey, its still food." Aizawa chuckled, slicing you pancake into smaller pieces. You looked at him in worry, but he smiled at you and directed a fork that had a pancake piece to your mouth. You reluctantly gave it a try, letting the taste get to you.
"Anyway, what's with this visitor you were saying, Mr. Aizawa?" Shohei said, food stuffed in his mouth.
"Don't talk with your mouth full, Sho." Aizawa sighed, he's really starting to get use to the nickname that Yamada and Hoshiko had kept muttering. "And please, Aizawa or Shouta will be fine.
"Vi-si-tor?"
"Yes, Visitor. Someone, usually a friend, who comes over to your house." Shohei explained. Aizawa gave him some books to learn from as he'd become busy with all the paperwork he missed out within only a week of absence.
Aizawa nodded, giving you a pat on the head. You were slowly getting use to certain things. The house was pretty much inspected by you, looking around and asking what certain things were. You were also starting to get a little talkative, asking questions and all.
Aizawa was pretty happy to teach you how to read and write, which made you quite busy for a few days, writing on some scratch papers that Aizawa let you use. You even started to draw and doodle things, mostly the things you see in the place, which were cats, Shohei and Aizawa.
There was an incident were he accidentally gave you the quizzes of class 1-B, since he was the math teacher (I assume him to have another role besides homeroom teacher... I'll try to explain in the end.) and had to apologize to the students. Luckily, you drew at the back.
To say the least, some students started to draw there too, in hopes they'd get a response from you.
You and Shohei were adapting well. Shohei a little faster and you a little slower, seeing as you were a younger child with much more traumatic experience compared to him. The only thing Aizawa was sure that wasn't changing was your physical touch issue and trusting issue.
You were pretty much adapting to everything else but those two. You were still constantly wary, and needed assurance, in which Aizawa and Shohei gave happily.
So Aizawa was guessing you'd be alright with having you go to the mall to buy clothes and other things for you and Shohei.
"Yeah, Hizashi and Hoshiko'll come over to pick us up, to head to the mall."
And just as he said, Yamada and Hoshiko were the ones who picked the three of you up and then you met with a new lady right in front of the mall.
She was loud like Hoshiko and Yamada and a lot more touchy. You watched her as she tightly hugged Yamada and then Aizawa.
Seeing Aizawa glare at her as she hugged him more (or should I say placing his face in her breasts), worried you a bit. You whimpered, your eyes turned and glowing red and everyone watched as Kayama, as they called her, floated with a faint (y/f/c) glow surrounding her, detaching her from Aizawa.
Maybe because you liked Aizawa that you felt like keeping him safe.
"Whoa." Kayama looked over to you as you moved her a little bit further, a pout and an innocent glare on your face as you outstretched one hand as the other hugged you stuffed cat.
"Kid, you can put her down."
You shook you head, turning to Aizawa. "Hurt you." Kayama was moved a little further and floated higher. "H-hurt you... a-and Za-Zaza-san." You named Yamada Zaza-san since 'Yamada-san' was too long for you.
"No. She didn't... she just hugged us, sweetheart." Aizawa squatted to your level to assure you, but your pout grew, clearly not understanding why defend a lady that looked like she was suffocating him.
Even in such weird situation, Kayama managed to giggled when Aizawa called you sweetheart.
Your eyes went back to normal and Kayama was dropped to the floor.
Shohei went down and patted your head, a small smile on his face. "Relax, she's a friend." He assured you. "She's only giving them a hug. They're not hurt, alright?" His eyes went back to normal as his hair fell back down. "And plus, they are heroes. you know what heroes are, right?"
You nodded, learning what heroes do after watching the news about a hero saving the day.
You turned over to Aizawa, giving him a small bow, "S-Sorry." You always said that, every time you felt like you did something wrong.
"Kid-"
"S-so-sorry." You turned to Kayama, looking into her dark blue eyes and glasses. She gave you a small smile, getting down to your level and raised a hand to pat you, only to feel guilty when you flinched. She slowly patted you as her heart melted with how adorable you were. It was so cute yet also so sad to see you look so scared and guilty.
"Its ok, Cutie." You looked up to see an assuring and warm smile. "You didn't do anything wrong, alright?"
You let a few tears out as your heart hurt. These people were so patient with you, even when you'd cry and refuse to do things. They never got mad, irritated or even tried to hurt you whenever you did something.

Aizawa had already told you and Shohei about the mall a day before. He told you two that there might be a lot of people and it might be noisy, but he assured that he was always going to be with the two of you. Him, Yamada and Kayama, pro heroes, were going to keep them safe. He promised that nothing bad was going to happed as they were just going to buy them clothes and some other things they might need.
Luckily there weren't much people in the mall, but it still didn't prevent you from being tense and worried. You clung onto Aizawa's pant leg, flicking your gaze to any sudden sounds.
In the unfamiliar place, you only knew the people with you, so you clung onto the one you trusted the most, Aizawa.
He was pretty happy to have you by his side. He made sure you stayed in between him and Shohei, so that no one could get into your personal bubble or even touch you without them not seeing.
You guys went from store to store, trying out clothes and buying them.
"No." Kayama looked at you in the clothes Aizawa had picked. "Just no."
"What? Why?" Aizawa's brows knotted, he looked over to you in your very colorful cat-themed attire. You wore a pink sweater with brightly colored cats printed on it, a rainbow skirt, a matching light blue pants with similar cat prints on it, and yellow doll shoes with a pink cat in the very front. "It looks fine." The man said as your other companions scrunched their noses and looked disgusted at what you wore.
You looked at the mirror to see the brightly colored attire, you've never seen so much bright colors in one place and it hurt your eyes. You turned back to look at Aizawa's somewhat hopeful smile and you shook your head.
"Hurt... eye-ees." You rubbed your eyes as everyone but Aizawa laughed. You removed the skirt and the shoes and turned to the mirror again then back at them, "Like." It was still a little brighter that you liked, but you wanted to make Aizawa happy, which kinda did.
"She can have that for nightwear only." Kayama said as they continued on to buy other clothes.
||
Hoshiko had a some taste in fashion, going on board with most of what usual girls her age wore. She was also seemed to agree with most of what Kayama or Mic suggested.
Shohei was picking dark colored outfits and they were mostly sweaters and hoodies. They made him try out others to see if he'd like it, he only picked out the dark colored attires they chose for him.
"What about this?" He brought out the only light colored sweater he chose. It was a cream colored sweater with a cat on it
Hoshiko and Yamada were amused while Kayama sighed, "Like father, like son."
||
"Hey, Mr. Aizawa."
"Sho, I already told you can call me Shou-"
"Lets get these." Shohei showed off a similar shirt you picked out. It was a plain white shirt that had a cat printed on it. He had three shirts in hand, one for you, one for himself and one for Aizawa. "Its the cats, Smokey, Autumn and Silver." He grinned at Aizawa as the man only nodded.
"Not bad, kid."
Yamada and Kayama looked at each other as the scene played out. They were both in tears.
"Our Baby Shouta's become a father!" Kayama cried aloud as they both earned a glare from Aizawa.
||
After shopping for clothes, they went on to get other things. Aizawa and Yamada halved the payment since they purchased clothes, school supplies, a few accessories, and some groceries. Kayama was the one who paid for everyone's lunch.
"For the two of you." Kayama winked, handing the two teens brand new cellphones. "Just to you two have a form of communication in anything happens."
They had the three of you change out of the borrowed clothes and wear something that they've already bought.
Once you walked out of the restroom with Hoshiko, they were all in awe at how adorable you were in the (y/f/c) turtle neck sweater, (other favorite color) pants and boots. You were so cute, their hearts were doing backflips.
"What else? Are we missing anything?" Yamada asked, looking at the paper bags they had in hands as they stood in the middle of the mall.
You, as usual, stood between Aizawa and Shohei, looking around the place, trying to adjust to the amount of people and noises there.
Your big (y/e/c) eyes looked around until it landed on a hooded figure. His pale hands in fists, messy long light blue hair covering his face, only his chapped lips seen as the hood he had on made it harder to see. He stood there, staring at you from afar. You could see a sinister smile on his dried lips.
"I see you." He was at a distance, but you heard him either way. With him slightly tilting his head, you could see one of his blood red eyes staring at you intently.
You gasped, stepping back and grasping onto Aizawa's pant leg. You see a few other figures stand beside him, almost as if saying 'I'm not alone.'
You tried to remain calm, reminding yourself you had Aizawa with you. Reminding yourself that you weren't alone, but what threw you off was the two familiar figure that showed up right beside him.
It was the tiger boy and the ginger, Ikku Akane. They stood on either side of the blue haired man. There were five of them all in all. Shigaraki, Dabi, Toga, Akane and the tiger boy stood there, watching you.
They were five and you were six, but even knowing Tora alone, they had the upper hand.
You back up slightly, letting go of Aizawa's pants and just hugging onto your stuffed animal, you stared at Tora.
You were silently having trouble breathing. Your chest hurt, head dizzy and your eyes were somewhat getting blurry.
There was an unreadable expression on Tora's face, but you could tell he wasn't happy at all.
"Boy." You had accidentally let out your wolf traits, your wolf ears flicking to listen to Shigaraki more. Kayama saw this and asked about it, making Aizawa turn to look at you and your feared expression, he called out to you and asked, but all you could hear were the words: "Get her."
In a flash, you were tackled to the ground by the white tiger, his sharper fangs displaying himself as you began to cry.
"What the fuck?!" Aizawa went to intervene, dropping the bags in his hands, only to be stopped by pointed rocks that came from the ground directly pointing at Aizawa and the rest.
With the people inside the mall, it was hard to see Shigaraki and the others standing there, they looked like bystanders that watched your fight.
Aizawa cursed for not having his scarf as he was in civilian clothes. Kayama was confused as it was yet another kid that fought you and Yamada couldn't use his quirk due to the amount of people.
"You still haven't learned how to fight!" The boy growled lowly, seeing at you looked at the group of people you knew; giving them s pleading look.
"I forgot to introduce myself to you." He chuckled menacingly, raising a clawed hand.
"I'm Tora." His fangs bared at you as you whimpered back.
"If you don't fight..."
You looked up at his bright blue eyes that were staring at you with some sort of emotion that you couldn't get. His lips formed into a toothy smile as he choked you to the ground with one hand as the other was up and pointed at their direction, indicating that he had a plan on how to hurt the others.
In the softest and most quietest voice, he looked at you and said:
"I'll kill them."
Your (y/e/c) eyes went crimson and the lights went out, bringing everyone in total darkness.
