(A/N: Thank you to Thor94 and Inuyoiushi for your reviews. And to everyone who followed, favorited, and added this story to their alerts. Just a warning, this story has a lemon in it further down. And I'd say its not exactly consensual because Izuku's not in his right state of mind. ^^)
"How many casualties did we suffer...?"
"Other than the Izumi's...we faced no other deaths. Most of the residents and those fighting only sustained minor injuries..." Shinsou answered with a heavy sigh and shake of his head.
Todoroki quietly nodded at this, staring solemnly down at the long lacquered table where he and his closest allies sat currently wrapped up in a meeting in Yaoyorozu's large abode. He would have been more satisfied if there had been no death's to speak of at all. "And Kota...?"
"Sosaki-san is currently looking after her young cousin. Kota was still sleeping when I dropped him off," Mirio replied without his usual spirit, squeezing his clasped hands together tightly where they turned white. He blamed himself for not arriving on time. That area had been his to protect. "The poor kid won't be recovering anytime soon..."
Kirishima smiled sadly and rubbed at the side of his neck. "That's to be expected...Man, I can't remember the last time things got this violent. Most yokai barely know how to fight like they did in the past. Even my skills have gotten rusty..."
"That's because we were constantly fighting against each other to establish dominance back then. If those damn Onmyoji's weren't trying to wipe us out," Bakugou muttered with a deep scowl. "What I want to know is, just what the hell were those ugly bastards?! I've never seen anything like them!"
Amajiki, who was peering over at Mirio with concern, turned his intense gaze off his friend for a moment to stare at Todoroki instead. "They-those creatures-it almost felt like there were different scents coming off them. Almost as if there were multiple ayakashi together in one body..."
"You mean as if various ayakashi had been fused together?!" Momo gasped out, her cat ears rapidly twitching. "How could something like that even be possible...?"
Dabi chuckled, causing everyone to turn their attention on the scarred male who had chosen to lean against the wall instead of sit. "None of us have been keeping a close eye on Shigaraki, so who knows what he's been cooking up in that prison of his. And if he wants our little human guests, who's to say he won't send out something more dangerous next time?"
"A-are you tryin' to say our home is in danger if we keep Izuku and Kaori in the village...?" Kaminari questioned with a nervous smile.
"What do you think? There's always the option of handing them over to the ayakashi?" Dabi suggested. Seeing the cold look he received from his little brother, the raven haired male clicked his tongue. "Since that's not gonna happen, though, maybe it's time we took the fight to Shigaraki and his deranged followers?"
"Is that really the right thing to do, ribbit? We'd be no better than them...Not to mention, we'd go back to the villainous days of killing off our own kind if we wiped them out," Tsuyu brought up, blinking her large dark eyes.
Todoroki's own eyes shut. He was trying his best to drown out the various voices around him where he could decide what option would be best. The kitsune didn't want to make another mistake...This forced him to recall how his father had always used a more violent method to deal with his enemies, those who opposed him and his ruling. And while Shigaraki was a threat, Shoto certainly had no desire to sink to the same low level as Enji Todoroki.
That was why the Crimson Forest had been established as the ayakashi's domain and Tonai Village was there's...
"For the time, we'll leave Shigaraki be. I'd rather not have to do this, but I believe we'll have to place a barrier around the forest to keep everyone there contained," Todoroki spoke up, causing the argument taking place to come to an immediate halt. "We'll only need to keep a closer eye on the forest until Midoriya-kun and Yamaguchi-san can return to their world, and I'll station guards around the Crimson Forest if anyone or anything is able to escape."
At this, Dabi scowled and shook his head. "That's all well and good, little brother, but Midoriya doesn't seem too keen on listening to you. The kid's liable to run off again and cause more trouble for us. With those powers of his, he'd be able to break through any barrier you place around the forest,"
"Midoriya was rather concerned for that young girl, Eri. He'll just end up getting himself injured or worse if he tries to go after her..." Mirio added, biting down on his long thumb nail. Seeing the fear that had been in Eri's eyes hadn't set well with the dragon either, yet they might upset the balance even more if they took her from the forest...
Smirking, Dabi removed something from inside his large dark blue tattered coat. The items looked like nothing more than simple red collars. "Than use these on the humans. That should keep them in line and from disobeying any orders you give them,"
Amajiki frowned deeply and he said just barely above a whisper, "Did you forget the laws, Touya? We don't torture human's...Those will shock them, won't they...?"
"Not exactly. These collars simply cause an unbearable heat to spread throughout the wearers body. You can think of it as when we feel to urge to mate. The mortals will be too uncomfortable to think of even trying to defy you," Dabi explained. He sent the shapeshifter a snide grin. "Might prove especially useful to you, Tamaki. Someone like you won't get laid any other way~"
The indigo haired male's face turned red at an incredibly fast rate, but despite his embarrassment, he found himself glaring at the elder Todoroki. Was he actually suggesting he...force himself on Kaori? Granted demons often did this with human's along with their own kind, yet they had evolved since that more primitive era when they merely wanted to prove their dominance over the weaker species...
"I couldn't give a damn about those two, but that's pretty fucked up even for you..." Bakugou uttered out with a scowl, voicing his own disgust at the idea.
Rolling his turquoise eyes, Dabi's rough and gravelly voice drawled out in a deeper tone, "I don't see the rest of you coming up with any ideas to keep Midoriya and Yamaguchi out of trouble. They'll be fine after they're satiated or if the collar is removed by the one who placed it. Sure they won't be happy, but you don't want them to get killed, do you?"
Placing the collars down in front of Todoroki and Amajiki, he moved to the door, saying a few more words before he parted. "Just think it over."
Heading back into the village where most of the yokai had pulled together in order to restore the broken buildings and homes, Amajiki glanced down at the collar in his hand. It almost felt like he was carrying some dangerous weapon that would detonate at any moment. Would he have to face the outcome of using it on Kaori if it did mean keeping her confined to this area...?
His troubled face lifted up when hearing voices. Kaori seemed to be helping Uraraka and Mina carrying boards over to Iida and Tokoyami who were up on a roof and hammering them down. Had he already made a mistake by not taking Kaori back to his house like he should have? Perhaps he truly was weak. Her pleading look to help the others repair their homes had caused him to let her do so.
It wasn't like he was going to let her go trekking off into the Crimson Forest, but he didn't think he'd be good at telling her no if she begged him for something, either...Being known as someone who was submissive had its disadvantages...
Noticing Kaori seemed to be struggling to hold onto a large plank, octopus tentacles shot out from his back and helped steady the board before it fell. He expected the female to let out a shriek of disgust or fear, but she didn't. Kaori's eyes were wide, but she seemed more surprised than anything.
"Oh, Amajiki-san! I didn't know you could do something like that!" Kaori expressed in awe, smiling at the taller male when he moved to stand beside her.
"It comes in handy, I suppose..." Amajiki replied with a small shy smile of his own, carefully lifting the board upwards where Iida instantly took hold of it. He blinked when noticing Kaori's attention on the collar in his hand, and he couldn't help but blush as he awkwardly hid it behind him.
"What's that? It looks like something that Bakugou guy or Kirishima would wear," Kaori said playfully, letting out a giggle.
Amajiki couldn't help but flinch, knowing it was a good thing Bakugou wasn't around or he might lash out at the girl for her comment. And he surprised Kaori when he was actually using his tentacles to rip the collar into smaller pieces before tossing them to the side.
"It was nothing...We should probably get back to work." he murmured. That was the right choice, he was sure of it. Items like that shouldn't exist in the first place, and it made him wonder where Touya had procured them to begin with?
Izuku was staring up at the ceiling, trying to calm the anger, frustration, and hurt that wrestled around inside of him. After having woken up, he found that he was resting in his room. It took him a moment to recall how he had gotten there, and he wasn't happy after what he remembered. Todoroki and him had gotten into a small argument, and the kitsune must have knocked him out when he had refused to obey him.
Sure he understood that they had laws here, but how could Todoroki refuse to help that little girl who was obviously terrified of something or someone...? Demons or not, they should be looking out for their own kind, right? What made her life so less important than the other children who were able to run around and be happy like all kids should be...?
Thinking of Eri made him remember Kota, and his gut clenched. Just how was that poor kid holding up? Izuku couldn't even begin to comprehend how it must feel to see the people you loved right before your eyes get murdered like that...And he couldn't help but think if he had gotten there a few moments earlier, maybe the small family could have fled. It was true he had been no match for that bastard...yet he could have stalled him until help arrived...
"Dammit..." Izuku murmured, hitting at the futon before turning over on his stomach where he could bury his face into the pillow. A part of him insisted the matters that happened here shouldn't concern him...and another attested that these troubles had only started the moment Kaori and him had arrived, and he had a responsibility to help.
Dabi had mentioned there was something within the forest that allowed them to travel to the human world. If that was the case, why weren't there more ayakashi roaming around in the city? Izuku nibbled on his lower lip when remembering how some humans had just vanished of late. Perhaps some ayakashi had made it through after all...However, some force was keeping all of them and the yokai from completely leaving this world.
Maybe there's something I can do to help Eri escape and that will allow Kaori and me to return home sooner...
This idea was risky and foolhardy, but Izuku was willing to try it. No matter what the repercussions brought about. He expected both doors would be locked, yet the sliding panels were nothing more than materials of wood and paper, something easy enough to destroy. Izuku didn't like the idea of damaging the residence of the people who were keeping him safe, but this was the only option he could think of.
Lifting up a small dresser, Izuku flung it through the classic fusuma that would allow him to escape outside. Squeezing through the opening he had created, Izuku fled, knowing Fuyumi and Natsuo would have heard the loud noise he caused. He couldn't help but peer behind to make sure he wasn't being followed, that was why he didn't notice the person who had appeared in front of him until it was too late.
Crying out when his body crashed into the hard figure, Izuku ended up falling backwards. Ignoring his initial shock at finding an object in his way that hadn't previously been there, the emerald eyed male ended up scooting backwards when seeing Shoto Todoroki staring down at him. The emotion behind his eyes being one Izuku couldn't read, making his predicament that more disconcerting.
"Todoroki-san I-"
"You were trying to escape? And you even destroyed my house to do so...?"
Izuku flinched. There was no anger in his voice. If anything, Todoroki sounded sad...He wondered if this was the reason Todoroki had suddenly pinned him to the ground; his startling reaction generating a feeling of both fear and embarrassment to rise in Izuku. The kitsune was far too close, and his clawed fingers were tracing over Izuku's throat, something that caused his face to immediately heat up.
"I'm sorry, but you've given me no other choice..." Todoroki voiced softly, pulling a collar from out of his haori.
Not understanding what Todoroki meant, Izuku blinked when his head was being lifted up and the collar was placed around his neck. Nothing happened at first, but after a minute or so Izuku felt strangely warm, almost feverish. This felt different than when he ran a temperature. The intense heat seemed to be spreading throughout his entire body, including the inside.
"Wh-what did you...do to me...?" Izuku asked through small pants, curling into a ball where he lay. This feeling wasn't painful, but it was uncomfortable, and he ended up letting out a whimper than made Todoroki's canine ears twitch.
Touya hadn't been lying. The collars really did force those who wore them to break out into an animal-like heat, human or not. Izuku's scent had already been making the fox yokai feel antsy, yet his aroma had sharpened and Todoroki was doing everything in his power not to growl and frighten the male even more than he must already be. Why did Izuku have to smell and look so much like him?
"Shoto-kun! What's going on?" Fuyumi asked, having run outside with Natsuo. A gasp escaped her lips, and Fuyumi covered her mouth, her face turning a bright pink when seeing Todoroki hovering over Izuku who was unleashing whimpers and the occasional moan.
"I-is the kid in heat?!" Natsuo cried out, his own face flushed. The smell was starting to stir up desires even within him, and he stepped backwards to put some distance between Izuku before he did something he came to regret. "Shoto, I don't know what you did...but you need to get Izuku inside before anyone else catches a whiff of him..."
Todoroki snapped out of the stupor he had fallen in, having nearly forgotten about that. Scooping up the squirming male, who seemed smaller than usual, Todoroki turned to his siblings. "I'll keep Izuku in my room for the remainder of his days here...He won't be able to escape from there, and no one will try to touch him."
Not giving his older siblings a chance to say anything more, Todoroki was rushing off for his room where he placed the whining boy onto his bed. His hand moved to the collar. He needed to quickly remove it. No matter how upset he was with Izuku trying to leave him, he couldn't allow him to remain in this condition. Much to Todoroki's surprise, Izuku had grabbed his wrist before he could touch the leather.
"M-my body feels funny, Todoroki-san...Make it stop..." Izuku pleaded, his large puppy dog-like eyes shimmering as though they were on the verge of tears.
The hand Izuku held gripped into a fist. "Don't...ask me to do such a thing in a voice like that...You'll make me do something we'll both regret..."
Todoroki knew he needed to pull his hand away to take that accursed collar off, but Izuku was making that extremely difficult. The male had actually pulled Todoroki's form closer to his and was rubbing up against him. All while unleashing those irresistible noises that were prompting the foxes tails to bristle and his body to shake from the urges it fought so hard to deny.
Not able to fight it any longer, the demon king unleashed a predatory growl, and he ended up ripping Izuku's clothes off of him. He basked in the beauty of the naked human before him, his clawed fingers touching his lean, but muscular torso. Todoroki couldn't help but smirk when Izuku was arching into his touch, and he leaned forward, crashing his lips onto Izuku's in a hungry kiss.
Izuku only partly registered what was going on. He knew that having Todoroki so close to him, with his mouth and teeth sucking on his lips and tongue, was helping ease the discomfort he felt. That was why he clung onto the yokai above him, all while moaning into Todoroki's heated kiss.
A small trail of drool being left behind when he pulled away, Todoroki stared into Izuku's hazy eyes for a moment, kissing his chin and then trailing his warm kisses down Izuku's already sweat drenched body. He kissed Izuku's leaking tip, feeling his own cock hardening inside his pants just from the sight. Stroking Izuku's shaft a few times, he was soon engulfing Izuku's rod into his mouth.
Unleashing a keening mewl, Izuku gripped onto the sheets as he could feel Todoroki sucking him like he was a Popsicle. Izuku wasn't large, but his manhood wasn't small either, and the fox was easily able to deep throat him without letting out a single gag. He had never realized how good a blowjob could feel, and Izuku could feel a knot starting to grow in his stomach. Todoroki seemed to sense this, and pulled back, making the small male beneath him whimper when he was lifting his legs up where his hole was displayed to him.
"Don't cum yet." Todoroki said in his soft voice. He licked his lips, moving closer to Izuku's other sensitive spot where he inserted his tongue. He didn't have any other way to prep the human, and he wanted Izuku to be fully prepared before they went further.
"I-it hurts...!" Izuku whined when Todoroki had removed his tongue, sticking two fingers inside that were slick with saliva. He was moving them in a scissoring motion, making sure to insert them as far as possible to make Izuku that more wet.
"It'll feel better soon. Try to relax." Todoroki reassured, staring down at Izuku as he could feel the male clenching around his digits. He watched for any signs that Izuku continued to remain in discomfort, so when Izuku's wincing frame turned to one of pleasure instead, Todoroki smiled and thrust his fingers inside of Izuku at a quicker pace.
Feeling that knot growing yet again, Izuku couldn't help but give a frustrated whine when Todoroki was once again pulling away, this causing the yokai to chuckle at his rather cute display. Removing all of his clothes, Todoroki felt a rush of pride at the expression Izuku bore. He was clearly enjoying the sight before him, and if Todoroki had his way, his naked body would be the only one Izuku ever saw. The only one that would ever claim the green haired male.
"This will hurt. Are you ready?" Todoroki murmured, flipping the male over where Izuku's ass was facing him. Izuku seemed to only be able to groan, and Todoroki's hardened cock twitched when his desired mate was rubbing his backside against it. Taking a firm grip on Izuku's hips, Torodoki eased his large tool inside of the boy's puckering hole.
Izuku gripped onto the bed sheets, his eyes filling with tears. This hurt worse than Todoroki's fingers had...yet he found that his body didn't want to pull away. It was almost craving to be filled by the dominant male, and Izuku surprised Todoroki when he moved his backside, causing the yokai to sheath more of his length within him.
Growling at this, Todoroki urged himself not to move too quickly. He knew the male was in pain, despite Izuku's and his own body seeking release. He needed to take his time. Todoroki was already forcing himself on the male, he didn't want Izuku's first time to become anymore unbearable...
"T-Todoroki-san...faster...please..." Izuku begged, sounding both desperate and embarrassed by his erotic cry.
With his calm and seemingly cold demeanor, many would have been startled by the grin that lit up the two-toned haired males pale face from the mortals begging tone. Todoroki honored his pleas, his long nails slightly digging into Izuku's flawless skin as he rutted into the male at a more frenzied pace.
Burying his face into the pillow below him to try and stifle the sounds he never thought he could ever make, Izuku ended up screaming when Todoroki hit a spot that sent even more waves of ecstasy shooting through him. And Todoroki had taken to hitting that spot over and over again.
"T-Todo..."
"Say my name," Todoroki commanded in a more husky tone. He had taken hold of Izuku's cock, stroking it in time with his thrusts.
"Todo...Todoroki-san!" Izuku ended up shouting, soon reaching his peak as his rod ended up shooting out his goods onto the bed, but mostly on his stomach.
His primal impulses were demanding he bite Izuku and mark him as his own, but Todoroki held back. He wanted Izuku to be in a better state of mind before he fully claimed the boy. And after some time, he was releasing within Izuku; Izuku shuddering beneath him when he was being filled up with the yokai's semen.
Remaining inside of the human where the both of them could catch their breaths for a minute or so, Todoroki slowly pulled out, and he found himself blushing from the mess the two of them had made. He would deal with cleaning it up later. Seeing the exhausted state Izuku was in, Todoroki pulled Izuku toward him where the teen cuddled into him; a side effect he suspected from overcoming the heat brought on by the collar.
Once he was certain Izuku had fallen asleep, Todoroki tore off the collar and tossed it to the side. He'd deal with the consequences of his actions tomorrow. For now, he would satiate in simply having Izuku so close to him.
