Chapter Three: Date Torture
Izuku sat in his limousine, idly watching the buildings pass by as he was driving to a certain location. Izuku had found out that his group had a mole; someone was giving information to the Shie Hassaikai and Izuku was absolutely furious.
Todoroki, who was driving said limo, peered into the backseat where Izuku sat through the rear view mirror. The man sat silently, his arms crossed, and his brow furrowed in absolute rage. He had a signature glare of pure infuriation, granted the member of the group who had been ratting them out wasn't exactly all that trustworthy, but the fact he went and ratted them out? The fucker was gonna die tonight.
"Warehouse number three, correct?" Todoroki questioned, shifting his gaze back onto the road. The man nodded, humming in response as he continued to glare out the window with that deep scowl adorning his face.
The vile man who had been the mole was currently tied up in the truck. He was going to be transported to a warehouse to "take care of business," and also to help Izuku let out the pent up rage that he'd been feeling. Not only that, but after that "incident" with Kyouka he had found that she was trying to egg him on more and more.
It wasn't exactly a bad thing, though. The two of them had found themselves repeating the actions of a few weeks ago multiple times, but now it had Izuku confused more than anything. Did she just like the sex, or was it him that she liked? The thought confused him; what real reason did he have to care? It's not like they'd get along anyways, he barely knew her and he doubted that they had much in common.
"Midoriya-San, we've arrived." Todoroki announced, getting out of the limo and heading towards the warehouse to unlock it. Izuku sighed, stepping out of the limo himself to open the trunk. He popped the trunk open and revealed the culprit of Chisaki's mole operation.
Izuku took a step forward, pulling a grape haired man up to his face, tape over his mouth and his eyes showing nothing but pure fear. "Mineta. I knew you were foul, but this was a step too far. Good thing you won't have a mouth to run for much longer." He said, lifting the man from the trunk and carrying said midget over to the warehouse. This would be the place the man would meet his end.
"The preparations are complete, sir." The dual-haired right hand stated, opening the door to the warehouse as Izuku waltzed inside. Said greenette wasted no time in throwing the midget as hard as he could straight into the floor as Todoroki closed the door behind him.
"I would say that this is unfortunate, but…" Izuku pulled black gloves over his hands, a sadistic smile adorning his face as he looked down at Mineta. "I'm going to enjoy this."
Under normal circumstances, Izuku wasn't the one to take care of traitors or people who the family needed to be rid of. However, Izuku would take it upon himself to take down those who used his family for their own selfish agenda, such as Minoru Mineta. The man had made a deal with Chisaki; he would be supplied with dozens of women so long as he kept feeding the Shie Hassaikai information about the plans of the Mido-Jirou operation.
Izuku had found out about the foolish actions of the midget when he was seen heading into a Hassaikai owned strip club. Disgustingly enough, he wasn't kicked out like he normally was out of every other known establishment in the Shizuoka prefecture. Izuku was definitely not happy and kidnapped the man right when he left the club, chloroformed and tied up with rope.
Mineta squirmed along the ground trying to move away from the greenette who simply slowly walked forward to keep pace with the man. Izuku clicked his teeth and shook his head. "You really should've seen this coming, Mineta. You know when people try to hide things from me, I always find out."
Mineta's muffled screams could be heard against the tape, but Izuku only smiled harder. He was completely enraged, his green eyes glimmering in the darkness of the warehouse. This would be the end of this grape haired pervert.
"It's one thing when you threaten my safety, but when you go out of your way to endanger my family, people who I hold dear and cherish with my own life, then you've crossed a line that cannot be forgiven, Mineta. Let this serve as a lesson for your next life." Izuku stated, stomping his foot straight onto the midget's head, blood beginning to run down the man's forehead while Izuku continued to smile. The exhilaration of what was to come began to fuel his adrenaline, and Izuku was going to go on a rampage.
"You really just-" He cut himself off as he stomped his foot onto the man's stomach, vomit began to dribble out of the duct tape over his mouth. "-Had to conform to the fucking Shie Hassaikai. You're absolutely disgusting: a disgrace to people all across the world."
Tears began to run down the grape-haired man's face, the instilled fear from Izuku beginning to set in and the pain being too much to bear. He was too weak to move, his body ached with each attempt at squirming away, his head was hazy and his body screamed at him for his mistakes.
"Todoroki. I need a water bucket, and a cloth please." Izuku commanded, stomping the heel of his shoe right onto Mineta's throat to keep him in place. Todoroki nodded and walked over to a nearby storage closet, pulling out a cloth and an empty bucket.
"You never stopped to think about the consequences of your actions, did you?" Izuku questioned, putting more weight onto the man's throat. He was effectively asphyxiating him. "You never thought that you'd be in this situation? What, did you think that the Shie Hassaikai would take us down before we ever found out? You were a fool to think that I don't have eyes and ears everywhere, Minoru. You're lucky all I fed you was false information, otherwise we'd be in big trouble."
Mineta's eyes went wide, had Izuku planned for all of this to happen? Izuku smirked at Mineta's reaction and the greenette bent down with his foot still on the man's neck. "Yeah, I saw this coming. You can't outsmart me, I've essentially planned for every possible contingency, Minoru. The fact you even dared to go against the Midoriya Family Syndicate was your downfall."
Suddenly a bucket of water was placed right beside the head of the grape-haired man, courtesy of Shouto Todoroki, who then handed a cloth to Izuku. Izuku ripped the duct tape off of the man's mouth, but he was too filled with fear to even let out a peep.
Suddenly the world went dark for Mineta as Izuku placed the cloth over the man's face. Mineta only had his hearing to give him some idea of what was even happening around him. He heard quiet whispers before hearing the bucket being picked up. Confusion and fear of what was to come had begun to fill Mineta with an insurmountable amount of adrenaline, unfortunately for him he still couldn't break his way out of the rope.
Mineta then fell himself being drowned. No air could be gathered from his mouth, and the more he gasped for it the more water began to fill his lungs. His brain was sending shockwaves of fear and he hacked and coughed as if there would be any air to gather. Suddenly the cloth was removed from his face, and Izuku's scowling face was all that he could see.
Mineta's eyes were bright red, along with his face. He continued to hack and cough as he gasped for air. It was only for a short moment but it felt as if they had just thrown him into the ocean and he had no way to get out of it.
"Let this be a lesson to you, as I said before. Don't go against the Midoriya's." Izuku said, reaching into his suit jacket and pulling out his signature revolver, "One For All". Mineta instantly knew what that meant, he tried to squirm away again but his body was too exhausted and in pain due to the assault that he had just suffered.
Izuku loaded a single bullet into the revolver, and rolled the cylinder. It was one bullet that would be loaded for all, and Izuku would let fate decide if you lived or died. He then took aim, pointing the gun right at Mineta's head.
Suddenly the door to the warehouse slammed open, a purple haired girl stepping through with her black haired friend Yaomomo, and Denki Kaminari in tow. The blonde was tied up and his mouth was duct taped shut, much similar to how Mineta's form currently was.
"I can't believe you, idiot! You're a damn fo-" Kyouka started before cutting herself off at the sight of Izuku and Todoroki standing before her with Mineta on the ground about to be shot. "Izu- I mean, Midoriya!? What the hell are you doing here!?"
"Jirou." Izuku greeted, turning his attention back to the traitorous bastard beneath his foot. "I'm taking care of a traitor. This is my warehouse after all."
Kyouka scowled at the man beneath Izuku's heel, however, Izuku's pretentious attitude irked her for some reason. "Well we were told to come to this warehouse if we needed to 'take care' of business. Turns out we have a rat as well."
Izuku then turned his attention to the blond who was tied up and shook his head. Izuku then pulled the trigger of his pistol, effectively blowing the brains out of Mineta and causing his blood to pool around his lifeless body. Both Jirou and Yaoyorozu flinched at the gunshot, becoming fearful of the fact he just killed someone without any sort of reaction to it.
Izuku then pocketed his revolver back into his suit jacket pocket, making his way over to the two women with Todoroki following him, a blank expression adorning his face. "Still doesn't change the fact that this is my warehouse. Who told you you could come here?"
"Kirishima told us to come here if we needed it." Yaoyorozu answered, standing beside Kyouka. Izuku facepalmed and sighed, of course it was Kirishima.
"He's not in charge of that stuff, you'd have to talk to Iida. Listen, you guys have to go somewhere else while we clean this mess up." Izuku stated, pointing to the door behind them. Kyouka began to grow increasingly annoyed, they made the trip all the way here and they were going to kick them out? Why not just let them use the warehouse and then they don't have to clean up two warehouses!?
"Just let us use the fucking warehouse! It takes up less resources, and is easier to clean up!" Kyouka spoke up, causing Izuku to glare at the purplette. She was definitely going to get it later for that little outburst of hers. "Like seriously, how stupid can you be!?"
A vein appeared on Izuku's forehead, yet he took a deep breath. Now wasn't the time to argue about this. He simply grabbed Kaminari's shaking form and threw him to the ground as he pulled out his pistol once more. "What did the blonde do?" He'd question, startling the two women before him. His face showed pure intensity, and while they weren't the type to back down so easily, it'd just be quicker to kill the idiot and move on with their lives.
"He sold equipment and information to Chisaki." Yaoyorozu responded as Izuku loaded his pistol with a single bullet once more. The man nodded, and rolled the cylinder before pointing it straight at the blonde, the scowl on his face was the same he gave Kyouka when they were getting intimate which caused her to grow a tad bit aroused at the sight.
'God he looks hot like that…' She thought, before the greenette pulled the trigger; another successful shot. Kyouka, due to her sensitive hearing, had her ears begin ringing due to the loud gunshot. However, getting to see that look on his face that she had come to enjoy made it worth it.
"Well, now that that's taken care of, I've got some stuff to take care of back home. Care to join me? Ochako will be there." He'd offer, removing his suit jacket that had just been splattered with blood. What a pity, it was one of his favorites too.
"Oh, well I would, but I've got prior obligations with ." Yaoyorozu replied, causing Kyouka to snicker teasingly. She was really bad at hiding her intentions with that little boytoy of hers.
"They're going on a date." Kyouka said, causing her ponytailed friend to blush like a tomato. Izuku simply smiled and chuckled, he was happy for Bakugou for finding someone that can calm his raging storm.
"I heard from Bakugou, congrats you two." Izuku congratulated, causing Yaoyorozu to blush even harder. The girl then said her goodbyes and left Jirou in the tender care of Izuku and Shouto.
The trio then exited the warehouse and took off in Izuku's private limousine. Luckily, Izuku was able to roll up a tinted window connecting the driver and the passenger seating area. Todoroki had already become aware of the two's odd relationship, but dared not say anything as to respect his boss's privacy.
And it seemed like the two were always looking for "Privacy".
After a short car ride, Izuku and Kyouka were dropped off in front of the Midoriya estate. Surprisingly enough, neither of them looked disheveled at all. Perhaps they didn't get "down and dirty" at all, or maybe they had gotten that good at hiding it.
"Well, here we are. I'm warning you, my mom's a little… Extreme." Izuku stated, opening the front door for Kyouka. The girl simply rolled her eyes at Izuku's statement, surely she couldn't be that bad.
"Oh please. You say that like we're together, I don't care what she does-" Kyouka started before being cut off by a short plump woman rushing up to her, inspecting her face. Kyouka stood frozen as this short green-haired woman eyed her closely.
"She's pretty like her mother, but has that glare like her father. Maybe you should date her Izuku, it'd be good for conjoinment of the families like your father sai-" Inko said, beginning to ramble about them being together or them having children together.
Kyouka blushed a deep scarlet hue, what the hell was this woman spouting!? "Wh-Wh-What the hell are you going on about, lady!? W-We're not getting together!"
Izuku sighed as he stood in between the two women, "Sorry, Jirou. This is my mother, Inko Midoriya." He'd introduce his mother, as said woman smiled and waved at the young Jirou. She seemed nice, but Izuku was right; she was really extreme.
"It's nice to meet you, Jirou-san! My husband was the one to suggest you two work together, but as you might have heard Hisashi is…" Inko said, trailing off as it was too painful to finish the sentence.
Hisashi Midoriya had been crippled from the waist down due to being attacked by Chisaki, causing much pain for the Midoriya's and forcing Izuku to step up to be the head of the family despite being so young.
"Yeah, I understand. It's a pleasure to meet you as well, ." Kyouka stated, bowing slightly to the woman out of respect. Suddenly they heard the chipper voice of Ochako Uraraka from atop a massive staircase in Midoriya's home.
"Is that Jirou? Hello, it's nice to see you again!" Ochako stated, rushing down the stairs to greet her. Both girls smiled, glad to see each other as Izuku walked off with his mother to go see his father.
The two greenettes entered the man's study, only to see him sitting in his wheelchair solemnly staring outside of the large window. Inko gestured for her son to go over and talk to him, Izuku nodding with a smile before making his way over to his father.
Inko shut the door behind her as she left, exhaling softly as she leaned her back against the door. Ochako and Kyouka watched the woman in question, looking to one another in worry.
"Let's just head to my room. It's best not to disturb them right now…" Ochako stated, gesturing for Kyouka to follow her. Kyouka nodded in agreement and the two girls headed off for Ochako's room.
Ochako's room was pretty… Normal. It wasn't exactly a room you'd expect to be in an estate, and while it was quite spacious, it looked like your average teenage girl's room. Except a bit more plain, kind of like her brother. But what she wasn't aware of was that there was a second smaller sized bed in the room. Did Izuku and Ochako share a room?
Ochako seemed to have caught onto Kyouka's gaze. She followed her eyes to see that she was staring at a certain little girl's bed.
"Her name's Eri." Ochako spoke, causing Kyouka to give the brunette a confused expression. "She's at school right now, but she's mine and Izuku's adoptive little sister."
Kyouka grew even more confused, "What? He never mentioned having another sibling… Did he?" She questioned. Ochako shook her head, Izuku hadn't mentioned the other girl to anyone.
"No, he keeps her a secret from everyone. He doesn't want her to be targeted, and even has her go to a normal school. He loves her a lot." Ochako started, staring at the girl's twin sized bed, "Dad, and Izuku had found her while they were taking down a Shie Hassaikai owned facility. Chisaki had tried to kill her, and well… Dad jumped in front of the bullet."
Kyouka stared at Ochako in shock, the question on her mind being very obvious. "Yeah, that's why dad's in a wheelchair. Him and Izuku really love her, but… She blames herself for how dad ended up."
Kyouka continues to stare in shock, her eyes shifting between Eri's bed, and Ochako. These were the kinds of things that Izuku had to deal with on the daily? No wonder he always seemed so… Pained. He would smile, but that smile was never genuine. He even looked like he lost sleep a lot of the time.
"After that, Izuku took it upon himself to never let his family get hurt like that ever again. He's made himself carry such a heavy burden, but it stresses him out like crazy… He's pretty much always working; always suffocating himself." Ochako continued, walking over to her bed and reaching underneath it, pulling out a small photograph.
Kyouka began to feel guilt well up in her heart. She had been going out of her way to make the boy feel more anger than he already had welled up inside himself. She had been doing nothing but adding onto his stress, but possibly at the same time she had helped him relieve it due to their "activities".
Ochako then handed the purplette the photograph. Kyouka nearly teared up at the sight; it was a photo of a younger Izuku and Ochako. It was their first day of middle school, the two of them smiling brightly. It was a smile that she had never seen before on the man's face, it made her heart clench with an indescribable feeling.
"He used to smile like that all the time, y'know? Now it's seldom seen unless you're me or Eri." Ochako stated, taking the photo back and putting it back where she had it hidden under her bed. It had been a bit of a comfort thing for her to have, along with a photo of her birth parents.
"I… I don't even know what to say. I feel so bad now, I've just been egging him on all this time…" Kyouka mumbled, causing Ochako to smile softly at the girl. She had felt remorse for the greenette, that was good. Ochako then patted the girl on the back.
"I'm sure he doesn't mind. Izuku may be a bit rough around the edges, but he's really nice." The brunette said, before an idea popped up inside her head. "I think they're done talking now… Wanna see something cool?"
Kyouka quirked a brow, being led along by Ochako before she could even give a response. As they neared their destination Kyouka could hear faint music playing in one of the rooms, as well as… A voice? Someone was singing.
Ochako held up a finger to her mouth in order to signify that the two of them needed to be quiet, before she quietly opened up a door for them to peek through. Izuku was sitting in his room, singing along to a quiet song playing on what she assumed was a wireless speaker.
The two of them watched in silence as the man sang along to the song, his face blank as he stared at the wall. Kyouka listened into the lyrics of the song and felt her heart ache in pain; it was obvious that Izuku was hurting.
"Tonight the monsters in my head
Are screaming so damn loud
But I built walls so high
So they never even make a sound
It's a mask it's a lie
It's the only home I've ever known
'Cause being who I really am
Has only left me more alone
I am not okay
And I need you to see it
I have so much to say
And no one to hear it
The reason I keep quiet
With so much at stake
I always feel like a burden
Let it silence me
You'll never understand
Why it's so hard to say
I'm not okay…"
The greenette sighed after he sang the final verse, and sat up in his bed to face the window. This operation needed to be a success or else everything that happened to his family would be for nothing, hell they would probably get hurt more and he couldn't let that happen.
Kyouka watched the man run a hand through his unruly hair, her heart continued to feel a slight tightness as she watched him struggle. But along with it she became captivated with his voice and the lyrics that he sang. They were filled with such raw emotion, and she found herself beginning to grow infatuated with the boy.
Perhaps after finding this out Kyouka realized that she needed to turn over a new leaf with this man. He's been through so much, carries such a heavy burden, honestly one that she could sympathize with, and she realized that maybe he deserved some much needed kindness and support that he's been pushing away for so long.
The two girls then leave the man to his privacy, but Kyouka left with a new view on the green-haired man. The two girls spent the rest of their time conversing and essentially bonding over what Kyouka had found out about today.
Eventually, Izuku entered Ochako's room to see what the two of them were up to, only to find Ochako, and Kyouka styling Eri's hair. What the hell. "Ochako I thought I told you not to tell anyone." He stated a bit aggressively. The brunette was quick to snap back however.
"You can't hide her from the world forever. Besides, Jirou's trustworthy, Eri's even taken a liking to her." Ochako stated, glaring at her brother because of his attitude. The greenette ran a hand through his hair and huffed in response before turning his attention to Kyouka and Eri. The two girls were staring up at him, but Eri had a smile on her face.
"Fine… As long as she's happy. Thanks, Jirou." Izuku said, sighing. Kyouka shrugged and stood up to face Izuku, she seemed less aggressive than usual which was a shock.
"Don't thank me, I didn't know you've had so much on your shoulders… S-Sorry for being such an ass." Kyouka said, twirling her earrings along her finger out of embarrassment. "Think we can start over on a better note?"
"I wasn't really that much better… But yeah, let's start anew. We're going to be going out in a few days for some supplies, I'll take you out to lunch to make up for everything." Izuku said before leaning in to whisper in the girl's ear. "Though I hope we can continue our 'alone time'."
Kyouka blushed, her heart picking up the pace as his soothing husky voice rang in her ears. The usual smirk on his face wasn't present however, no, now it was replaced with a smile. It wasn't one she was used to seeing, but it seemed… Real. But something about it struck a chord in her heart and she began to see the greenette as a bit more of a "nice guy" than he let on.
"I-I'd like that…"
