Revenge, revenge isn't something I strive for... Honestly I can do without revenge in my life but for family I will break myself over and over again for them... You can hurt me, torture me, abuse me... But the second you lay a hand on my family or even mention them I will not be held accountable for the things I will do…
People who I had considered to be my family, hell, even my biological father had been hurt beyond repair by a single man who had no regard for others. Someone whose cruel acts had led to the bloodshed of many people I hold dear.
This man had been the one to murder my adoptive sister's parents. They were simple construction workers, people who didn't deserve any of what were to befall them. This man had ended their lives in cold blood, and left their daughter all alone. Me and my family had been the one to take her in, and I nurtured the girl as if she were my real sister. Her name was Ochako Uraraka, though now you could say she's part of the Midoriya's now.
My family consists of a large lineage of Yakuza. We were the type of people to kill those who wronged us in cold blood, yet what set us apart from the rest was our charitable deeds. We gathered people in our community and contributed to both our city, and the criminal underground. We have connections in the police, which had essentially made us untouchable.
Or at least that would be the case if not for the two other gangs that were causing issues for us. The first was the Jirou's. We had a long history with them, fighting over territory as well as small scuffles with our families here and there. As much as there was a distaste for them, there was never any bloodshed. So we let them carry on with their business.
The second, and the most heinous, is the Shie Hassaikai. It was run by a man by the name of Kai Chisaki. He was a ruthless killer, and someone who had tormented the Midoriya's as of late. They were an old gang who didn't pose a threat until their leader mysteriously died, and Chisaki was named the next leader of the group.
Chisaki alone had been the one to take down Uraraka's family, and left me about ready to snap and go on a rampage. Not only that, but he was the one to… He was the one to cripple my father, Hisashi. That act had left me in charge of the Midoriya family, and my father in a wheelchair. That day I vowed to take him down, even if it meant…
Even if it meant teaming up with the Jirous. I would make that man pay.
Izuku Midoriya, a 20 year old man with a talent for quick thinking and analysis, sat alone in his family's bar. One of his best friends, Shouto Todoroki stood in front of him cleaning a glass, he was the current bartender and someone that Izuku had been of help to time and time again.
He was waiting for someone, waiting for the new head of the Jirou's. Her name was Kyouka Jirou, around his age and someone who shared his animosity towards Chisaki. The two had only met once before, and it was anything but pleasant.
Their families had beef with one another for generations, and that had carried over onto the two new head honchos of the families. The two HATED one another, and it was heavily due to their parents having such a strong distaste for one another and pushing it onto their children.
Even so… This was Izuku's best bet at getting back at Chisaki. He needed their help and they needed his if they wanted to take down Chisaki. The two of them would have to put aside their families' squabbles and work together to destroy the Shie Hassaikai.
So there Izuku sat, drink in hand, and patience running thin as the girl was late. Seriously, how hard was it to show up on time? What, was she doing her hair or something? Izuku turned over to his friend at the bar, with an angry expression on his face.
"You don't think they backed out, do you?" He questioned, taking a sip from his glass of Cognac. He had Todoroki prepare the bottle specifically for this occasion so that the two leaders could meet up and start off on the right foot, but the fact never changed that the Jirou's were an obnoxious bunch.
"Hm… Hard to say, Midoriya-san. Let's give them a bit longer." Todoroki replied, placing the freshly dried glass back on the rack. He then reached for another glass, and began drying that one.
Izuku's expression softens and he chuckles, "You know you can drop the 'san', right? I've told you, just Midoriya's fine, Todoroki."
The dual-haired boy simply shrugged and continued to dry off his glasses. Suddenly the door to the bar opened, and Kyouka Jirou herself stepped through. She was adorned in a white button up dress shirt with the top two buttons undone, revealing a rose tattoo on her chest. Her blazer was draped over her shoulders, and her shirt was tucked into black suit pants.
Izuku pondered if he should pay her a compliment as a way to start off the conversation on a happier note. It wouldn't hurt to try and get on her good side, at least then there'd be less conflict. But if only he knew how wrong he was.
"Oh, you're finally here. Hello, Ms. Jirou." He'd say standing from his seat. "I must say you look quite nice this evening."
The girl rolled her eyes, "Save it, Midoriya. Let's just get this over with. I know you don't like this as much as I do, plant-for-brains."
A vein popped out on Izuku's forehead. This girl was really annoying. Like, really? "Plant-For-Brains"? Was that seriously necessary? Izuku sighed in frustration, and held a chair out for the girl. Despite all odds he would do his very best to remain cordial with her, it was how his mother raised him. Honestly, he should've expected nothing less from a member of the Jirou family. They were a very difficult group of people.
"Right... Let's get to discussing the issues we're facing regarding the Shie Hassaikai." He'd suggest as Kyouka sat down in the seat held open for her. Todoroki poured the girl a drink, and placed it in front of her as Izuku sat beside her. "To start off I have to ask… What did he do to you, and your group? I had heard rumors but..."
"...Why do you want to know..?" She questioned, glaring at the boy as he trailed off. He stirred his drink, before taking a sip. Jirou watched on as he slowly sipped his drink, and then placed his glass down onto the counter. His expression softened, and he turned back to face her.
"You don't have to tell me, but I may be someone who can sympathize. We both agree he needs to be taken down, and you and I are here today to work together to defeat the Shie Hassaikai so… So what do you have in mind for this, 'team-up'?" He questioned, giving the girl a soft smile to send her a small surge of comfort. Above all else, she needed to feel like she could trust him and his crew.
Jirou sighed, "He killed my head of security not too long ago. It was someone I thought of as my aunt, and that vile man… He needs to be taken down. I'll be willing to help lend you my forces, but I have a team of personnel that I can trust with this mission more than anything."
"Oh? I also have a team prepared as well. I assume we'll have everyone meeting tomorrow, if that works for you." He'd reply, noticing the girl twirling her low-hanging earrings around her finger idly. He noted that she seemed to do it when she was deep in thought, he'd have to write that down in his notebook later.
"Can you drop the 'Miss'? Quit it with the honorifics, man, it's like you're hard-wired to be a stuckup prick or something." She'd comment taking a sip from her glass. Izuku's vein popped up once again, and his eyebrow twitched in anger. The fake smile on his face faltered and a deep glare became present of his face.
Todoroki cleared his throat, snapping the two of them out of their near-argumentative state. Izuku recomposed himself, and adjusted his tie. He needed to keep it together, but he wasn't going to just let her get away with this kind of insulting bullshit.
"Well, I'll have you know this 'Stuckup Prick', doesn't have to help some flat-chested narcissist with her beef with Chisaki." He'd state with an ice-cold, threatening, tone. Jirou flinched, but glared right back at the boy. He had a close-eyed smile that sent shivers down her spine.
How DARE he make comments about her chest! Who was he to talk this kind of shit to her!? This limp-dick prick was lucky that she needed his help in taking down that Shie Hassaikai bastard, otherwise she'd be shoving her boot so far up his ass that he can taste the mud that she walked on!
"Right. Let's just cut to the chase, alright? From this day onward me and my team will be in your care, and I expect you to take REAL good care of us, otherwise I will personally end your bloodline." She said, sending back the same threatening energy that Izuku was exuding. He wasn't going to get away with shots being fired at her like that.
"Rest assured you and your team will be accommodated for. I do hope we can get along from here on out. I'll inform my team not to start any unnecessary conflict with yours, and I trust you'll do the same." He said, finishing off the rest of his drink. Todoroki takes the glass from the boy, and goes to wash it, leaving the two of them alone.
"Now that he's gone… What's with your comments about my chest? Why're you staring, you limp-dick prick? My eyes are up here y'know?" She'd say, attempting to get a reaction from the boy. His eyebrow twitched, and his glare from before returned once more.
"Oho? Who would want to stare at seemingly nothing, you egotistical bitch? Don't come into my establishment, ask for my help, and then insult me, and expect nothing to happen in return." Izuku says, the volume of his voice increasing. The two were about to engage in a shouting match.
"Fuck you, Asshole!"
"Shut it, Bitch!"
"Prick!"
"Whore!"
"Motherfucker!"
"Limp-Dick bastard!"
"FLAT-CHESTED NARCISSIST!"
"MOPHEADED SHIT-FOR-BRAINS!"
"FUCK YOU!"
"NO, FUCK YOU!"
The two locked eyes, stood from their seats, and glared at one another. A sudden feeling washed over them, but the two could do nothing but stand in each other's face and glare at one another. Jirou could feel Izuku's glare piercing through her, and the same could be said for Izuku.
It was then that Todoroki returned and cleared his throat once more, causing the two to snap out of whatever trance they were in. They glared at one another once more, and grit their teeth, sitting back down at their respective stools.
"Fuck you man, if you don't want to work with me you just have to say the word!" Jirou stated, gulping down the rest of her drink. Izuku turned to face her, but noticed something he never thought he'd see on Jirou's face. She looked saddened, her eyes were shimmering as if tears were going to fall.
Jirou hated having to team up with the Midoriya's, but this was her only chance to avenge her aunt. She was someone that had nurtured her and took care of her for years, and she wasn't going to just let Chisaki get away with her murder. She needed Midoriya's help.
Izuku took in the girl's appearance and groaned. Damn his kindness. "No… We need to work with one another, and I can tell Chisaki has hurt you just as he did me… Starting tomorrow we'll put aside our differences and hopefully work together."
Izuku gestured that Todoroki refill their glasses, and after he did so he held his glass up to Jirou. The girl gave the boy a confused expression, was he really willing to work with her? After everything she had just said?
"To taking down Chisaki." He said, holding his cup out for the toast. Jirou smiled softly and chuckled. This idiot had no idea what he was getting himself into, but this was their best bet of taking that bastard down. This team-up was going to be pretty chaotic, but she could tell… They could make it work.
"To taking down Chisaki."
The two conversed a bit more, before Izuku had sent her on her way. He was now left alone with Todoroki once more, and Todoroki could tell that the boy was deep in thought. Izuku didn't realize, but he had begun muttering quite quickly about ways to keep up a good relationship with the Jirou's that might even last until the next generation.
"Midoriya… You're mumbling." Todoroki notified, causing the boy to snap out of his trance. He blushed and laughed nervously while scratching the nape of his neck.
"S-Sorry about that, Todoroki. I'm just thinking about a lot of things all at once… Habits and all, y'know?" Izuku said, smiling at his friend of many years. Todoroki nodded, placed the glass he was cleaning back on the rack, and left the counter, sitting beside Izuku.
"It's fine, I assume you plan on keeping a 'friendly' relationship with the Jirous? We should prioritize improving our relationship with them if taking down Chisaki is going to work out." Todoroki advised, leaning onto the counter with his arms. Izuku nodded in agreement, and pulled out a small notebook from his blazer's pocket.
"That's the first step in the plan I formulated, would you like to see it?" Izuku asked, offering the notebook to the dual-haired boy. Todoroki flipped through the notebook relatively quickly, before handing it back to Izuku.
"Well, what sort of plans do you have regarding the Shie Hassaikai? You had been formulating that for a while right? It's pretty amazing..." Todoroki questioned, causing the boy's eyes to glimmer with excitement.
"I've got a whole document up in my office, you wanna come and see it, Todoroki? I think you'll like the one regarding who you'll be up against!" Izuku exclaimed excitedly. He shot up from his stool, and smiled brightly. If smiles could blind people, Izuku would've blinded everyone he's ever met before.
Izuku was a very enthusiastic notetaker. In his team he was the number one strategist, and his high intellect was something that those in the Midoriya family both feared and admired. Even the boy's father, Hisashi, saw him as a threat in the wrong hands. Todoroki had seen the boy's quick analysis in battle quite often, and was always amazed to see him gain more and more knowledge as the years went on. He truly was a force to be reckoned with.
In all honesty? Chisaki was screwed the moment he decided to go up against Izuku Midoriya.
"Sure. Tell me all about it."
