Chapter 3: The Pieces Start to Move

"Chisaki." Izuku greeted as he enters the dining room where his cousin was waiting.

Chisaki nodded at him "Izuku. How had you been?"

Izuku took out his blazer and sat opposite his cousin "Fairly well. Except all the marriage candidates you send me, that usually spoils my day."

Chisaki nodded, as he removed his mask and breakfast was served "If that's the case, I can always find better candidates. If you give me a list of parameters like I asked you some time ago, it would be done."

Izuku rolled his eyes "My main issue is that I still think I am way too young to marry, also add the fact that I have better things to do than to leave my current position."

Chisaki nodded as he ate "You need to understand, that it is for the best of the family, Izuku. And if you are worried what will happen when you are gone, don't. I can bring back glory to our family."

Izuku got annoyed by that comment but said nothing about it "Of course, I didn't expect less from you." He took a bite from his food "How's the production of the quirk destroying bullets by the way?"

Chisaki huffed "Slow. We still can't find the component needed for neutralizing quirks." He gave Izuku a glance "Maybe if you volunteered Eri, our process can go faster."

"I am pretty sure we already talked about this Chisaki, and I already gave you an answer." Izuku said drinking his tea.

Chisaki narrowed his eyes "Izuku; you need to understand that these bullets are the key for our resurgence."

Izuku gave him a dry look "Believe me cousin, I know a way without those bullets." He wiped his mouth with a napkin and stood up "Thanks for inviting me, the food was great as always."

Chisaki glared at the back of his cousin "Chronostasis;"

His assistant walked to him "Yes Overhaul?"

"How's plan b in case we can't get rid of him by marriage?"

Izuku got inside the car with a frown "What an asshole."

Aoyama hummed "I take it didn't go well Monsieur Yamaguchi."

Izuku groaned "Same bullshit as last time."

Hanayama remained silent, but his fist tightened and glared at the mansion.

Izuku phone ringed and he picked "Yes?"

"Tatsu, I have some news." Izuku hummed hearing Monoma over the phone.

"What is it Saru? Did something happen with that biker gang?"

Monoma chuckled "Well, let's say they are... promising." He said looking at the blonde teen, somehow still standing in front of Tetsu.

Izuku hummed "How much?"

"Tori beat the shit out of the leader and he is still standing. They call him, The Invincible Mikey." Monoma explained and Izuku nodded.

"I see. Pass him over."

Monoma nodded as he watched that Mikey deliver a flaming kick to the side of the head of Tetsu, and even if he was coated in metal and didn't even flinch, but was moved from his initial position, feet dragging on the cement.

"Hey, Mikey, was it?"

Mikey panted and glared at Monoma "What?"

Monoma handed him the phone and Mikey slowly placed it against his ear "Hello?"

"Mikey, right? Is it true you fought Tori and didn't fall unconscious right away?" Mikey hear a curious but mocking tone on the other side of the phone.

He growled "What if I did. Are you the boss?"

Izuku chuckled "Kind off. I like your tone kid. Tell you what, let's have lunch tomorrow at Ryugin, my treat. You are allowed to bring two people with you... and don't be late."

Mikey gulped by the threat of his voice in the last part "What's your name?"

Izuku smirked "You can call me Tatsu." And with that, he hanged up.

Mikey handed the phone back to Monoma and he turned to Tetsu "Tori, we are done here."

Tetsu deactivated his quirk and grinned "You sure are tough lil' dude." And with that, they left.

Mikey sat on the floor panting as his gang rushed to him "Mikey!"

Mikey turned to his sub-commander "Where the hell is Ryugin..."

"And who the hell is Tatsu?"

*Kusho, 16:45*

Hanayama opened the door and Izuku stepped out and looked at the bar located in Kamino Ward. Kusho, Void in English. It looked like a pretty decent place, not up to his standards, but not bad.

He entered and saw a man made out of mist cleaning a glass. "Tatsu. Welcome."

Izuku nodded and Aoyama spoke for him "Monsieur Kurogiri, I suppose."

Kurogiri nodded and Izuku eyed Aoyama and his French assistant explained "He was the one who contacted me for this meeting."

Izuku nodded as he aproached a table and sat down. Aoyama and Hanayama stood behind him. "So; how much will have to wait for this meeting to start? I am busy man."

A chuckle was heard as a pale man, with light blue hair and red eyes dressed in black approached the table and sat in front "Don't worry, Tatsu. We start now."

Kurogiri served this man a cup of whiskey and looked at Izuku "Your best wine." Izuku said and Kurogiri nodded as he went to prepare the drink.

"My name is Tomura Shigaraki, the leader of the League of Villains." Tomura introduced himself as Kurogiri served wine to Izuku "And I want to form an alliance with you, Tatsu. Not the rest of your family."

Izuku tasted the wine and nodded, it was a good wine, "I see. But sadly, I am not a villain, and neither are my signs."

Tomura giggled childishly "Maybe you think that... but for society, you are a villain." He took a sip of his drink "You see; I know you have this... code of honor that has been for centuries or whatever," Izuku narrowed his eyes but let Tomura continue "But your cousin, Chisaki, doesn't have it anymore. Half of the Yakuza families abandoned them too. And you know that."

Izuku closed his eyes. That's true. In his clan, only the Juunishi follows the Jingi completely. Yes, some other members do too, but... Chisaki...

"Go to the point already." Izuku said and Tomura grinned.

"I know your goal. Bring the yakuza back to the top of the food chain. Bring back the honor they lost since heroes arrived. If you join me... you will accomplish it. As long... you help me destroy this society."

Izuku hummed as he took a sip of his wine. "Tomura; I accept. But we need a figure."

Tomura raised a brow "What?"

Izuku smiled "If you took all this time to make this meeting, you know who I am, right?"

Tomura nodded "Izuku Yamaguchi, CEO of Yamaguchi Entreprises."

Izuku nodded "Exactly. And if I show my face in any kind of illegal activity, this alliance will fail. In the other hand, if you are arrested, it will fail too. So, my solution; we make a red herring. We make them think that you are an underling, and that I am another wealthy CEO. This person must be charismatic, but not that ambitious and that is willing to follow you blindly."

Tomura grinned "Don't worry then... it will be done."

Izuku smiled as Aoyama whispered in his ear "Well Tomura, I need to leave. But... let's stay in touch."

*18:00*

Izuku and Eri were sat in the back of the limousine, heading to their home. Eri holding a bouquet of flowers that Izuku bought her. "You were great out there, Eri."

Eri smiled brightly at her cousin "Thank you Oni-San. I am really glad you liked it."

Izuku chuckled and hugged her "How could I not like it? You are so talented! It is like having a little cute Bethoven."

Eri blushed at the praise "Hey Oni-San?"

"Yes, Eri?"

"Cousin Chisaki is still trying to get you married?"

Izuku hummed "That he is. Why?"

Eri looked up to him "Will you marry one of them?"

Izuku raised an eyebrow "Why you ask?"

Eri looked down nervously "What if you found someone that makes you happy? Will you marry her?"

Izuku hummed "Probably. But I doubt that anything that Chisaki gives me, will be good. So, if I ever met someone that makes me happy, it will be by chance."

Eri nodded "Oni-San."

"Yes Eri?"

"Please be happy."

*19:00*

Usually, when he meets one of the marriage candidates, she is in a really expensive dress, covered in 4 layers of makeup, and trying to do dumb small talk while trying to be flirty.

Karure Kure, his date of tonight, isn't like that.

She isn't wearing makeup, is wearing jean shorts and a red hoodie and seems to be just as annoyed like him.

(A/N: Yes, Karure Kure from Kengan Ashura)

Izuku was reading the menu as she looked at her phone "Are you going to say something?" She asked.

"No. Are you?"

She snapped her tongue and rolled her eyes "If you are not interested doing this shit, why did you accept?"

Izuku sighed and gave her a dry look "It isn't like I have a lot of options. Besides, you don't look that eager for this either."

"Yeah, I am super excited for my Gramps to use me as bargain chip to control Yamaguchi-Gumi." She rolled her eyes and Izuku groaned.

"Tell me about it. Chisaki just wants to get rid of me, trying to marry me away from the family."

Karure huffed "And the scary Tatsu can't say no?" She said amused and Izuku smiled as he rolled his eyes.

"If it was that easy, I would already done it. But you see, I am in a competition of sorts with him." He smirked "And I am going to win."

Karure chuckled "At least that's better that not even being close to the succession line."

Izuku hummed "I think we can change that."

Karure raised an eyebrow "How so?"

"I want to be the head of Yamaguchi-Gumi, you want to be the head of the Kure clan. If we work together... we will accomplish it."

Karure blinked before grinning "We would have beautiful babies."

"Excuse me, what?"

Karure laughed at his face "I came here waiting for another idiot, and you came." She blushed "With your intelligence, and my strength... we can have great successors..."

Izuku laughed "I think you are getting way to ahead of yourself." He stretched his hand "My name is Izuku, nice meeting you Karure."

Karure giggled "Aren't you a gentleman." She shook his hand "Nice meeting you Izuku. Let's do a great work."
