I think this the first chapter I upload before 2 in the morning. I DID IT BOIS!
Chapter 9: Deku
Monday morning was akward for our hero, once the alarm on his phone started to play Stand up and Shout. He woke to an adorable Himiko, looking at him dead in the eye, which startled him and accidentally hit himself on the head with the wall. Making Himiko laugh, and Midoriya blush, after incident Himiko got out of bed first, making Izuku blush even more from seeing Himiko with her comfortable sleeping clothes. Nothing much happened after that, Izuku took a morning shower to start the day and get ready for school, Himiko in the other hand wanted to practice her culinary skill by making breakfast for the two of them. She decided to do something simple, scrambled eggs.
"Easy enough," She thought as she turned on the stove on medium heat, put some butter on the frying pan she took out from one of the kitchen cabinets, she waited a couple of seconds for the butter to melt. "Ok so far so good" She grabbed one egg and cracked it with the pan letting the yolk and white land inside the pan without any shells getting in it. "Easy" Then she grabbed another one repeating the same thing she did with the first successfully, "Master chef already" She went for another one but the egg slipped out of her hand completely before the egg hit the ground she was able to grab it with her stand, "Oof, that was close!, Ha! but of course, I am too good to make such a simple mistake" She closed her eyes thinking she was safe but there was a small problem, while she forgot about the eggs on the pan that was already over cocked. "*sniff* *sniff* "What's that smell... OH NOoO!" She grabbed a rubber spatula from one of the drawers beside the stove and hurriedly tried to scramble the eggs, due to her nervousness she completely forgot about the egg that was being held by her hair, and she let it drop on the floor making a mess. "YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" She turned off the stove due to the eggs being already burnt making a bit of smoke. "Can this get any worse?"... nothing out of the ordinary happened. "Huh? I guess it can't get any worse" She tried to relax by closing her eyes and breathing slowly. "Okay everything is okay now" She took a step forward completely forgetting about the egg on the floor and slipping on it making her fall cartoonishly. She landed on her back completely covering it in egg yolk and white. "Ok, I hit rock bottom, there is nothing else that can go wrong"
"Hey, Himiko everything ok..." Izuku came out of his room already wearing his uniform and his favorite red shoes. He came to see what was all the commotion on the kitchen about, and what he was met with was a blushing Himiko covered in egg on the ground, and with smoke coming out of a pan. "Himiko what happened"
"Please jus-just go" She pointed at the door while her hair bangs grew long enough to cover her blushing face.
"But"
"Please"
"Himiko"
Her hair grew in size. "Go," She said in a low menacing quiet tone
"Yes ma'am" Izuku quickly walked out of the room while Himiko stayed on the ground in defeat.
"I should clean this off" She sighted
"Ok, that was bizarre" With that he went to school, Time skipped rather quickly before he knew it, it was time to go home. "Good thing, that nothing bad happened today" He walked out of the gates while humming his favorite song. But wouldn't you know it, something bad did happen.
"DEKU!, its time for payback" He heard someone from behind him. Izuku turned around to meet Bakugo's lackeys. "NoThInG bAd HaPpENeD ToDAy, why do I say things" He turned around to see the two. "Please, I am having a good time, don't ruin it"
"Do you really think we are just going to let you go because you just said please?"
"Yes" He answered
"That's it! Without your bitch protecting you, YOU'RE NOTHING!" The two lackeys tried to hit Izuku with two hooks towards Izuku's face, but they were stopped by an invisible force to them. "Wha-" "BAKANA!" The two of them were surprised.
Izuku's eyes were covered in shadows, his hair started to rise and become more spikey. "What did you call her?" The two lackeys gulped. "I won't ask again, What did you call her?"
"A-a-a bitch" All of a sudden the two of them were hit in the stomach with enough force two knock the air out of them. "oof" the two fell to the ground on their knees.
"I really didn't want to this you know?, I really didn't want to fight you guys, but you made me, I don't care if you call me names, but don't ever do that to a friend of mine"
The tho lackeys finally were able to breathe again. "Ho-ow? I thought you were quirkless"
"I was... until a few days ago, so let's keep this a secret between us ok?"
"I-we"
"Please"
The nodded their heads really, really fast.
"Good, and I am really sorry, I didn't mean to hit you guys that hard" Midoriya said with sincerity in his voice. " I have to go now, bye" and so he walked away.
After leaving school, Midoriya thought to himself "What was that! Why am I being so violent? This really out of character for me... maybe I am overthinking this, I mean I was just protecting myself... yea that's it just protecting myself" Izuku went directly home, as Matteo's place was close. Once he made it there he saw a note attached to the door it read. "Izuku I went to the mall to buy stuff for work tomorrow, also get a new cellphone plan, my parent canceled mine, and probably tried to track it, I conveniently have enough for money for that and a little bit more, anyways I'll be back later. Himiko" "Ok then I guess it's me alone until Himiko and mom comeback" He walked inside, and went directly to his room. It was clean and everything was neatly folded. "What to do?, What to do?" hmmm" hr dropped his backpack beside his bed. After thinking for a couple of minutes he finally decided on what to do. He decided to do research for his training to get the best results possible.
Himiko finally made it back to the apartment, she was holding bags with her hair, and carrying a new cell phone, she walked in to see that everything was just as she left it. She went to Izuku's room and knocked on the door. "Hey, Izuku can I come in" silence. "Izuku *knock* *knock*, hey are you there?... Ok, I am walking in" She opened the door and saw Izuku passed out on his desk with papers on his face. "What was he doing?" She grabbed one of the papers and read them. "Oh, he is already planning on what to do for his training, he sure is something" Himiko used her stand to grab Izuku and put him in his bed.
A couple of hours later.
Izuku was awakened by the sounds his stomach was making due to his hunger. "Right, I didn't eat anything today" Izuku got out of bed and went out of his room. To see Himiko and his mom making dinner.
"-and then I slipped on an egg!" Himiko and Inko laughed "Oh hey dear, how was your nap," Inko asked.
"Great, but I am really hungry how long until the food is ready"
"In just a minute"
"Ok... hey what were you talking about"
"Nothing!" Himiko quickly answered
"Bu-"
"Nothing!" She said it more coldly this time.
"Ok, nothing, got it".
and the rest of the night was as expected they ate, they talked, and they went to sleep.
The next morning.
Izuku had already left for school, and Himiko just stayed at home until it was time for her to go to work. Once that time arrived she left the apartment and with her work outfit she went to Matteo's. Every step she took made her more nervous, every time she felt like she was getting closer her mind got full of doubt, the little incident that happened yesterday had brought her morale a little low, but she kept on moving ahead, she wasn't just going to stop for a little accident. She finally made it. Instead of going through the front entrance she entered from the back. She opened the door to see Matteo already waiting for her.
"Buongiorno, Himiko ready for your first day?" He happily welcomed her.
"Yes, I am ready"
"Good, because you're going to start with something easy." Matteo pulled a notebook from behind him and handed it to her and Himiko took it. "You're just going to help clean dishes, and study as much from this notebook I wrote to help you learn a bit faster."
"That's it? This seems too easy"
"Oh but it isn't, I won't help you clean a single dish or silverware, and trust me there is going to be a lot, I don't care if we stay here until 2 in the morning I am not touching those plates, and there is going to be a small quiz at the end of the day, you better study the book or else..." His smiled turned more sinister.
Himiko gulped. "HOW DOES HE DO THAT! I AM SUPPOSE TO BE THE SCARY ONE! NOT HIM" "Yes sir!"
"Great! Let the day commence!"
6 hours later
"How are there so many dishes! They just keep piling up! The place has been closed for two hours closed!" Himiko yelled out loud frustrated for the number of dishes that were yet to be clean.
Matteo chuckled. "I told you it wasn't going to be easy" Matteo had already clean the place the only thing that was left to do was to clean the kitchen. "Anyways ready for your quiz?"
Himiko froze. "Fuck, I completely forgot about that!" "I-I-... not really" She lowered her head.
"I appreciate the honesty, I truly do, but you're going to suffer a small punishment"
"What would that be?"
"Well, Himiko are you hungry?"
"Please don't" Her stomach grumbled. "Yes"
"Well, would you like a ribeye, medium rare and well seasoned?"
"Don't do this to me" "Yes" She started to salivate
"Well I would of have given it to you if you had passed the quiz but alas you did not"
"He had to do it to me"
"But don't worry I will give you something to eat"
"Really!?"
"Of course, I am no monster, here take this" He handed her a simple ham and mayo sandwich. "It has [PEARL JAM] in it so it's going to give you a boost of energy. He smiled sweetly.
"I'll take it" She sounded a bit hurt.
"While you eat that I will this ribeye"
Himiko comically started to drop tears.
It was one in the morning when Himiko knocked on the door of the Midoriya home. Izuku opened the door.
"Himiko what happened!" She was a mess, her hair was all over the place, weird for someone who can fully control their hair, she smelled like raw fish, and her clothes were stained all over the place.
"Matteo happened" She walked in.
"Do you need anything?"
"Sleep" She went for Izuku's room. but she was stopped by [ZA WARUDO].
"First a shower"
"I just want to sleep please" She tried to give Izuku her puppy eyes.
"Nope, you smell bad, no offense but you need a shower"
"Make me"
"Ok"
Izuku then carried Himiko to the bathroom with [ZA WARUDO] Once inside he turned on the shower to room temperature.
"Let me get your stuff" Izuku left and came back with Himiko's backpack. "Ok Himiko take a shower"
"I won't unless... you shower with me" She tried her usual stuff but this time it wasn't very effective.
"Usually that would work, but you smell and I am also very tired" He got out of the bathroom and closed the door behind him. "I'll be waiting in my room"
Himiko sighed in defeat "I even lost my drastic measures"
The rest of the week went just like Tuesday fast and without that much trouble. Until of course Friday... you guys see a pattern?
Izuku had walked out of school he was leaving towards Matteo to meet Himiko and get something to eat until he was stopped by the one and only Bakugo.
"OI! SHITTY DEKU!"
"WHY! I am starting to hate Fridays" Hey Bakugo how is it going?
Bakugo was confused for a second usually Deku calls him Kacchan, but he just let that be.
"I ve'en waiting for oh so long. A whole week of waiting to get payback, for trying to challenge me!" He started to create mini-explosions on the palm of his hands
"Look Bakugo I don't want to fight"
"Fight? Oh no, you must be confused you won't fight, you will be pummelled to the ground"
"Please just don't, this is going to be a useless waste of time"
"A waste of time? I don't think so I will enjoy this so much" He grinned
"Are you sure you want to be a hero? You act more like a villain"
"SHUT UP DEKU! DIE" Bakugo went for his usual right hook, but before he landed that punch, He got punched by an invisible force making him land face-first to the ground. "WHAT THE FUCK!" Bakugo used two explosions from the palm of his hands to stand back up. "DEKU! EXPLAIN"
"Explain what?"
"DEKU YOU BETTER EXPLAIN HOW YOU GOT A HIT ON ME! YOU USELESS DEKU"
"You wouldn't get it"
"YOU THINK YOU'RE BETTER THAN ME! TELL ME WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT"
"I won't"
Bakugo lifted his arms and aimed at Izuku. "If you won't tell me then just DIE!" He shot a large explosion surrounding the area with smoke. He smirked while waiting for the smoke to disperse. "You can't beat me you're a useless Deku" once the smoke dispersed he noticed that Deku was no longer there. "What the?" Bakugo turned around to see Izuku just ゴゴゴゴ standing ゴゴゴゴ there with his eyes hidden behind shadows.
"You keep calling me a useless Deku since we were kids, but now that word doesn't affect me anymore if anything it gives me more strength" Izuku looked at the palm of his hand and turned it into a fist. "Everything you have done to me in the past has brought me to the now, every bad thing that has happened to me led me to more strength, to me the word Deku doesn't mean useless anymore it means, hope."
Bakugo's face got angrier and angrier after each word that Deku said. "I don't care what for what happened to you, to me you are and always be a useless Deku." He threw another explosion creating even more smoke, but before the smoke dispersed a fist came out of it, nailing him on the jaw, once again sending back down to the ground.
"Bakugo, ever since you got your quirk, you became arrogant, you became my bully, and I still don't know why" Bakugo shot another explosion from the ground, but Izuku just stood there and took it, to Bakugo's dismay it did nothing to him. "You always put yourself on top of others, calling everybody an extra, but now you're on the ground, in the very place I was for years" Bakugo quickly stood up and went for a haymaker, but his arm froze before it hit Izuku.
"DAMN IT! HOW ARE YOU BEATING ME, I AM SUPPOSED TO BE BETTER THAN YOU!" Bakugo started to cry, his fantasy of being the best, shattered in just a couple of seconds." HOW... how are you this strong? His will to fight was now gone at this moment.
"Bakugo, You are not better than me for one single reason, ego, I never saw myself as better than others, If anything I say myself as the weakest man on earth, but that never changed my dream, I still wanted to help people just like you, but you, once you got your quirk you just wanted to be the best, to the point where you created this fantasy, in where you sat on top, but now you learned that you are not. Maybe this fight will finally let you go back to who you were, or so I hope, because I still want to be your friend, I still want you to be a hero because I know you can be a great one. I really hope we can go back to being friends." With that Izuku left the place, with Bakugo just standing there processing what just happened.
"And that's what happened" Izuku was enjoying Katsudon while explaining what happened after school to Himiko who came out of the kitchen to greet him.
"Wow. Izuku you changed"
"I did?"
"Yea... I like it"
"Thank y-"
"I think that's hot" Seductively grinned, and Izuku blushed
"But some things don't change and that's ok with me" Himiko grinned.
"Anyway now that's been almost a week, how is it working in here"
"Still tuff, but I am getting better, I learned a very valuable lesson from this place"
"Really what is it?
"Matteo is a scary man."
"haha! I thought you were the scary one" Laughed at Himiko's joke
"I know, that's exactly what I said"
"Well, do you finally found a place to stay after this week."
"I do"
"Really? where?"
"With Matteo"
"Wha- *COUGH!*, *COUGH!* Izuku started to choke on his food. "He *COUGH* How much did he found out?"
"All of it"
"How did he take it?"
"They are banned from this place if they try to hurt me... let's just say Matteo has 2 knives ready to be used"
"Well, heck, and what about being a vigilante, are you going to do it?"
"Yes"
"What made you decide?"
"Well apparently Matteo works really closely with Zeppeli, and Zeppeli needs someone to help him protect this valuable artifact that's coming all the way from Mexico, that's going to come in a year, something about a mask, I don't really know the details, but we struck a deal"
"What would that be?"
"The foundation for who Zeppeli works, The SpeeedWagon Foundation will give me equipment for vigilantism and help me with anything I need, as long as I help them with a few things that will be better explain once the artifact comes."
"Why not contract a hero with experience?"
"Because of two things, stands, and well the methods they might need to use are not exactly completely legal, and I am A.O.K with that"
"Well and why live with Matteo?"
"Incase I get hurt, there is no need for a hospital with Matteo living in the same place as me"
"I see, so you are going to start being a vigilante in a year."
"Maybe sooner, they told me that I needed to train, and gain some experience."
"And all of this was a plan in a span of 4 days?"
"I know right, well anyways I got to go back to work and learn how to fix my spaghetti, Matteo gave me so much time to talk to you, I'll see you later at night"
"Ok? Have fun?"
Izuku finally made it home, and when he walked in he saw his mother crying while sitting on the couch. "Mom! What happened"
"Izu-Izu, your dad! he-" She let more tears drop.
"He is what!?"
"He is coming back!"
"HE wha-oof" Inko gave Izuku a bear hug.
"When? How"
"The company he used to work for, was bought by another one, and that same company is making a building here in Musutafu, He is coming sometime soon, I don't know when but-but He is coming back!"
Izuku and Inko cried for a good amount of time until they remembered that oxygen was a thing.
Izuku slept with a smile on his face that night.
Saturday
Nothing happened that day, Izuku just planed his schedule for the upcoming ten months of training
Himiko suffered in Hells Kitchen, I mean at Trattoria Trussardi.
Inko just took care of the children that lived in her house.
Sunday
Himiko told Izuku that she was still going to stay at his next week even if she already found a place to go.
Inko had the day off and went to the Bakugo household to visit her best.
Izuku went to Musutafu's beach.
"So this the place where I will train for the next ten months? This is the place were I meet Himiko and this the place that will turn me a hero. A hero of hope, A Deku."... TO BE CONTINUED.
So did you guys like the chapter? Well please let me know.
Q/A time
Emiya- I thought about it and he will but only a couple of times, barely any. and about the JoJo lines thx!, I also try to use song lyrics that inspired Araki
Blandusername- Well like Remzal said in his review. The user is the weakness, people will figure out how to fight against a stand user, besides there will be more enemy and friendly stand users, but I do understand what you mean.
Green as Envy- Nope it was just a neat little reference, I don't think I have the skills to introduce Dimes For Crimes just yet.
Anyways my questions for you guys.
Do you want Bakugo to learn his lesson or will he stay in his fantasy?
About the mask, I thought of introducing vampires in somewhat of a small scale, and have Toga be a vampire hunter besides just a Vigilante, and before she becomes a student, Do you want that or should I not? its an easy write-off.
Welp that's it for me today, you guys have fun!, Hasta Luego!
