Dr. Nabe looked at Toga for a moment studying the woman before her. She could clearly see the traits that Hinako had inherited from her mother. Her mental state aside Toga was a beautiful woman her hair was long and smooth even managing to maintain a shine in a place like this. Her eyes were bright spheres of gold. But Nabe could see the dark lying behind them. Then there was Toga's smile, alluring really with her teeth that pristine white pressed lightly against her bottom lip.
That was the look of a predator hungry for its next meal. "It's rude to stare and not say, anything Doctor. I know I don't look my best, but I do try and it's a little embarrassing to be stared at like this." Toga announced breaking Dr. Nabe from her assessment. Nabe quickly got control of herself. As the woman in question fidgeted in her chair.
"Yes sorry Himiko that was very rude of me. Now I want to talk about you and Izuku." She said pushing towards her entire reason for being here. Toga gave a small smirk.
"Yes let's talk about that, but first who are you to my Izuku?" She asked leaning forward-searching Nabe for any kernel she could use to glean information about her obsession. Dr. Nabe knew that if she didn't at least try to play Himiko's game she wouldn't get very far obviously Himiko was putting her price on the table.
"Alright Himiko that's fair, I work closely with Deku, and have come to learn about you and his relationship I wanted to learn more. Now I know for a fact that your quirk relies on the consumption of blood to fuel your transformations, but up until this incident with Izuku the longest you held a transformation was a few hours at best. You went from a few hours to nearly a year, that's quite a jump. How did you accomplish that?" Dr. Nabe asked as Toga sat back in her chair.
"Ochaco's such a giving person; she really is a hero so willing to give of herself to those in need. Giving her time and her very blood to those in trouble it's so admirable." Himiko responded and after taking a moment to decipher what she said Dr. Nabe nodded.
"You stole her blood from Blood Drives. I see and I'm guessing Ochaco gave a lot, still even giving several times a month that wouldn't be enough to sustain you I'm guessing you'd been doing this for months before you took her place in Izuku's life. Tell me Himiko from what you say you care deeply for both Izuku and Ochaco and yet you went out of your to destroy what the two of them had. Why would you do that to two people you claim to care about?"
Himiko's golden eyes stared into Dr. Nabe the woman had no doubt she was imagining killing her or at the very least causing her harm in some way. "Ochaco failed the test." She whispered. "I did what I did to see if she could love Izuku more than I could, but she couldn't! She let herself actually believe that Izuku would cheat on her or anyone for that matter. That's not who Izuku is! He would never do that! So I knew then and there she wasn't right for him." Toga explained as she thought back to that time in her life.
Toga sat in a café swirling her straw through her Bubble Tea watching the tapioca pearls swirl around in the mixture. Tomura and the others were all gone, now it was just her on her own. She had nowhere to belong no one inside her heart. "Wait, I still have Izukun!" She said excitedly before draining the liquid and happily biting into the tiny spheres as she left the café. She always knew where Izuku was she subscribed to his social media making sure she was the first one to like anything he posted.
She opened her phone and scrolled through his feed before finding the newest post. It seemed like her Izuku had stopped the hijacking of an armored car. She couldn't help, but give a girlish squeal of excitement. Toga quickly made her way to the crime scene just in time to see Izuku float off the ground like a heavenly being before using Black Whip to pull himself through the air. Toga watched him go before making her way to Lemillion's agency. She knew Izuku worked here and would come back sooner or later.
Toga climbed a nearby building and settled into a familiar alcove for her wait. Looking at her phone and switching from Deku's feed to Uravity's she looked at the screen seeing a clip of Ochaco taking down a group of thugs singlehandedly. Himiko's shoulder lovingly throbbed reminding her of the beautiful takedown and submission hold that Ochaco had put her in when they first met. God that was seemed like so long ago, but still fresh in her mind as if not even a day had passed. That meeting had set Toga's path in stone and she was so grateful to the green-haired hero and the brown-haired heroine.
Toga got lost in the infinite pool of social media as the world moved around her. After hours of watching Toga's phone had finally had enough warning her she only had about fifteen percent battery power life. The young woman gave a pout before turning her phone off for now. As she stood up and gave a stretch she saw a green flash streak across the sky announcing Izuku's return to the agency. Himiko smiled happily as she waited for Izuku to come out of the building announcing his end of the shift.
The moment soon arrived as Izuku walked out in his casual cloves giving a series of stretches as he began to walk home. Himiko dropped from her hidden alcove and ingested a small amount of blood taking on the form of a young high school girl before falling in behind Izuku making sure to stay a respectable distance back even holding her phone up as if she was taking a selfie or texting someone further authenticating her status as an oblivious teenager.
Izuku was probably too eager to get home or else he probably would have found it strange that a teenager he'd never seen before was walking along the same route as him with no deviations. "My poor Izukun must be so exhausted." She mentally whined and then she watched as he made his way up to his front door only to be greeted by a quite sexy Ochaco feigning being in danger. "Ochaco-chan how bold." She thought to herself while licking her lips watching the two make out before entering their abode.
Himiko was tempted to try and listen at the door but changed her mind instead, promising herself to install a few listening devices she'd get from Giran. The rest of the league may be in jail, but to Giran a customer was a customer. What Toga wouldn't give to have followed Izuku inside and lay down next to Ochaco as Izuku made love to the both of them. Giving a sigh Himiko left back to her hideout. A small derelict building that had been scheduled for demolition, but something kept happening to whatever foreman was put in charge of it. Freak accidents that would leave them half-dead if not fully.
Himiko flopped down on the mattress and lay there with her eyes closed playing out her fantasies of what Izuku and Ochaco must be doing. She imagined herself there with them joining them in their fun both her and Ochaco worshiping Izuku's perfect body. Almost by instinct Himiko's hand crept down her body disappearing beneath the waist of her jeans.
"I think that's far enough Himiko." Dr. Nabe said drawing Himiko from her recollection seeing that Himiko had no problem describing what she was thinking and doing at that point in time. Himiko gave a few pants before her eyes locked onto Dr. Nabe.
"Quite the prude you are Doctor, but ok." She said with a shrug as Dr. Nabe made several notes. Himiko possesses a deep obsession with Izuku bordering on fanatical. She almost deifies him, in her eyes Izuku is perfect, but she seems to in her own way care for Ochaco as well. Almost as if she sees her as a fellow worshipper of Izuku.
"I suppose I am, now Himiko let's jump ahead to the point where you began interfering with Izuku and Ochaco's relationship." Dr. Nabe noticed Himiko's eyes take a hard glint before she spoke. Apparently, Himiko wasn't a fan of Dr. Nabe's wording, but not so upset that she wouldn't acquiesce to her request.
Himiko picked the lock on Izuku and Ochaco's door before slipping in like a shadow. She had one job and one job only; to place her listening devices and get out before Ochaco and Izuku returned. "Ok let's go." She said as she began strategically placing her technological ears around the home especially in the bedroom. "No more leaving me out of the fun guys." She whispered.
Now that her mission was complete Himiko decided it was best to leave, but as she entered the living room and headed for the door she stopped as a very puckish idea entered her head. She quickly picked up the remote and turned the TV on mute before it sprang to life with sound and possibly alerting Izuku's neighbors. She doubted anyone would notice, but Himiko decided to err on the side of caution. Once the screen came to life Himiko quickly went to the movie rental channels and from there to the adult entertainment portion.
She smiled as she scrolled through looking for something specific, within moments she'd found what she'd been looking for and quickly purchased it. She smiled as she set the remote back down as close to its original position as possible before leaving the way she came. Himiko did her best to hold in her laughter as she imagined the looks on Izuku and Ochaco's faces when they found out what she'd done. About a block away she could hold it in no longer and began laughing hysterically.
After an hour or so of just lying around her hideout, she heard noise from the laptop that was connected to the bugs. She quickly plugged her headphones in and listened to Izuku and Ochaco talk about some banal thing and then she heard it, the loud moans and gasps of sexual intercourse. Himiko covered her mouth to minimize her laughing not in fear someone would hear her, but so that she herself could hear the ensuing conversation between Ochaco and Izuku.
The first time she listened to this it was funny, but after repeated listening, Himiko found herself less amused and more disappointed. "Ochaco didn't believe Izuku when he said he didn't do it." She stated to the empty air. "Ochaco knows how good of a person Izuku is so why didn't she just take his word for it?" She asked to the open air as if it would respond. "That's not nice Ochaco you should always believe Izuku no matter what he says." She stated with a hard edge. With this in mind, Himiko decided to further test Ochaco's belief in Iuzku in the hopes that Ochaco would prove herself good enough for Izuku.
"So you orchestrated these events not to interfere, but to test Ochaco's worthiness?" Dr. Nabe asked to which Himiko fiercely nodded.
"Of course, I thought Ochaco and I were besties we both loved the same person. I wasn't mad that Izuku chose her may be disappointed, but I knew that Ochaco would do almost as good as I would next to Izuku." Himiko said before shaking her head. "But she was a liar, she didn't deserve to be at Izuku's side, so I had to get her away from him," Himiko explained as Dr. Nabe nodded taking some notes.
"If you wanted her away from Izuku why not just kill her I'm sure it would have been no easy feat, but even a head-on fight with a pro hero had to be easier than sneaking in and engineering these scenarios. I mean one different decision and Ochaco might have never found the evidence you planted, or what if you were caught?" Dr. Nabe asked.
Himiko shook her head and sighed as if she was about to explain something to an idiot. "I could never hurt Izuku. I love him, and even though Ochaco wasn't good for him I know he still cared for her. If I killed her that would hurt him and I don't ever want that. Besides Ochaco was following my lead like a cow to slaughter, she had so many chances to just believe Izuku, but she didn't. She could have just stopped but she didn't. How's the saying goes if you go looking for trouble eventually you find it." Himiko said.
Himiko had returned to her hideout hours after going into Izuku and Ochaco's home. She'd gotten really good after the repeated break-ins. She'd left the final piece of her plan in their home knowing Ochaco would find it. Himiko listened to the argument ensuing between Izuku and Ochaco and her blood boiled at the things Ochaco was saying to him. She wanted to reach through her earpiece and strangle Ochaco, cut her to ribbons and hold Izuku to her chest. Finally, the door slammed after Izuku asked her to marry him. There was silence for a moment before quiet sobbing could be heard as something thudded against the ground. Himiko grit her teeth and clenched her fist so hard her nails drew blood, all of this in an attempt not to rush to Izuku's side.
Himiko wanted to hold and rock him against her to kiss the tears from his eyes and then use her own body to make him forget everything Ochaco had said, make him forget Ochaco herself. She would be everything he needed, but she couldn't, not yet. Himiko looked at the small fridge she kept in the corner. "Not yet." She whispered as her golden eyes glowed in the reflected light of the moon.
Himiko spent days listening to Izuku move lifelessly around the house. Himiko had hardly left her base nor had she removed the earphones for even a second wanting to be with Izuku through this even if it was from a distance and through a secretly planted listening device. Sometimes when she heard him get in bed, she'd strip herself and lay in her cot close her eyes and listen to him breathing feeling as if she was right there next to him. Every second she listened shaved another piece from her heart, and just when she thought she couldn't hold it in anymore Izuku gave her the ok to act. She heard him speaking through the listening devices about visiting Ochaco and Himiko jumped into action.
She opened a suitcase and pulled out an outfit. It wasn't her usual style, but it was reminiscent enough of Ochaco's taste that she doubted Izuku would notice anything different. A cream sweater with maroon leggings and boots. After getting dressed in the outfit she moved over to the mini-fridge and pulled out a long tube of blood. She gave a gentle swirl watching the crimson liquid slosh gently against the ice-cold glass of the tube. "Showtime." She whispered as she downed the vial in one go.
The taste of blood on her tongue was always an intoxicating sensation. It was like drinking perfectly chilled wine. She imagined she could taste Ochaco's sweetness. Not cloyingly sweet but a light tingle on one's transformation was quick as Himiko was enveloped in a viscous liquid changing her hair from blonde to brow. Her eyes changed from bright gold to chocolate brown. Himiko looked at herself in the mirror and staring back at her was Ochaco Uraraka. She gave a smile at her reflection before rushing out to meet Izuku.
"And that was when you started your charade. Izuku met you thinking you were Ochaco and the two of you went back to his home and engaged in sex." Dr. Nabe said as Himiko sighed.
"You make it sound so clinical. It was so much more than that. I treated Izuku like he deserved to be treated. I gave him what he needed." Himiko said as Dr. Nabe looked at her.
She wanted to tell her that she didn't help Izuku. She took advantage of the heartbreak that she orchestrated. She preyed on him and then deceived him for more than a year. She professed it was for Izuku, but Dr. Nabe as well as anyone else knew that wasn't true. Himiko had gone through this trouble to satisfy her own desires and feed her obsession. "Izuku didn't know that the Ochaco he was with wasn't the real one." She stated as Himiko rolled her eyes.
"Maybe at first, but I gave him plenty of hints. Izuku is very smart he saw all the hints I gave and he stayed with me. I may have not looked like myself, but Izuku could see the real me underneath it all and he stayed with me. He loves me." Himiko whispered. Dr. Nabe stared at Himiko her training was the only thing keeping her face emotionless. Himiko believed what she wanted to believe. In her mind, Izuku loved her and nothing would change that.
Himiko lay next to Izuku in their bed and stared at his sleeping face. He seemed so peaceful there his chest slowly rising and falling. She couldn't get enough of him. Just watching him like this was enough to fulfill her. She moved her hand to his face tracing his freckles as she leaned close to him and bit at his earlobe grinding it between her teeth before pulling back. Her transformation had worn off sometime after she and Izuku had stopped making love. By then he was well into sleep. Her long blonde hair draped down onto the river like a shimmering golden river.
"Izuku It's me Himiko. I love you so much." She whispered against his neck as she rubbed his chest. "I'm going to have your baby Izuku." She said sinking her nails into his side. "You and I are going to be tied together forever." At that moment in the darkroom, Izuku stirred.
"Ochaco?" He asked Himiko in a reckless sense of boldness spoke in her own voice.
"Yes, Izuku?" She asked as the half-asleep hero just clutched her closer to him.
"I was just making sure you were still here." He murmured placing his face into her hair. Himiko almost broke into a giggle at the affection Izuku was showing her.
"I'll always be here I'm not going anywhere." She whispered." She said as she kissed his neck, but by that point, Izuku had already fallen back asleep.
"Izuku can lie and say whatever, but at that moment I know he knew he was with me not Ochaco," Himiko stated as Dr. Nabe looked at her.
"So why stay in Ochaco's form, why not reveal yourself?" She asked. Himiko simply smiled.
"I did it to help Izuku. In the eyes of the world, I'm a criminal, and even though Izuku doesn't care about that I couldn't do that to him. I would've liked nothing more than to have stayed by his side as my true self, but for Izuku I could hide. As long as he knew it was I underneath, nothing else mattered." She said with a deep conviction.
"I have a question. Ochaco was on the other side of Japan how were you able to keep Izuku from getting suspicious?" Dr. Nabe asked as Himiko shrugged.
"It was hard, but first I had Izuku and I move. It took forever to convince him, but saying the right thing enough times and even the most stubborn person would have to listen."
"Izuku we should move," Himiko said in Ochaco's voice. Izuku popped his head up from her lap and looked at her.
"Ochaco you've been bringing this up a lot lately. What's going on?" He asked as Himiko sighed.
"I just think it's time, but really I want to move so you can open your own agency." She said stroking his fluffy green hair. She couldn't get enough of that. The feeling of his soft strands flowing over her fingers always made her tingle. "I mean you've been working with Mirio since we graduated. You're steadily climbing the ranks it's time I think. Just think, you move and open your own agency and within two years at most, you're the number one hero. Besides we're going to need more room in the future anyway."
Himiko smiled as she leaned down to press her forehead to his. "It's not just going to be the two of us for much longer." She whispered. Izuku's face turned a brilliant shade of pink as he looked away. He was so cute she couldn't hold back any longer. Himiko kissed him.
"I-I guess you're right maybe it is time I spread my wings." He said breaking the kiss.
"After that I just had us move a reasonable distance to where Ochaco was doing her hero work. Not too close that we'd run into her, but not so far that it was unreasonable for me to be working there. After that everything was going so well. I finally got pregnant." Himiko said remembering the day as if it had just happened.
Himiko had been feeling pretty sick lately, thankfully Izuku hadn't caught on just yet, but if this was what she thought it was then she'd need to work overtime to keep Izuku from hearing about Ochaco. It wouldn't do for her to get all-around and for Izuku to see a slim Uravity saving people. She sighed as she sat on the toilet and stared at the stick in her hand waiting for it to announce its findings.
Even with the added risk, Himiko was so excited. Finally, she and Izuku would be tied together no matter what. Her hands were practically shaking before an announcement was heard from the stick. "Positive." The robotic voice echoed off the bathroom walls announcing and seemingly congratulating Himiko on her endeavor. She couldn't help but smile before setting it down and taking a picture of it. She couldn't wait for Izuku to come home and show him.
Himiko was practically vibrating where she sat, her eyes shifted back and forth to the clock waiting for Izuku to get home. She tried her hardest to will the clock to go faster or Izuku to come home quicker. In her manic staring contest with the clock, her keen ears picked up the sound of the door opening. Himiko bolted upright and downed a quick vial of blood to take on Ochaco's form. She needed to maximize the time she spent as Ochaco making use of her blood as efficiently as possible.
It would be another couple of weeks before Ochaco gave blood again. She rounded the corner barreling into Izuku like a cannonball. Her nose was a little sore from hitting his rock-hard chest, but she didn't care. "Izuku I've got good news, great news the GREATEST NEWS!" She shouted her voice rising in volume with each description. Izuku looked down at her and chuckled.
"Wow, you're in such a good mood Ochaco what is it?" He asked before Himiko shoved her phone in his face. He looked at it for a moment backing up to see it clearly before his eyes widened to the size of dinner plates.
"Y-y-you-you're p-pr-pregna-pregnant!" He shouted looking at her as Himiko smiled.
"No, we're pregnant!" She shouted jumping into his arms and locking her arms and legs around and squeezing as tightly as she could. Izuku gave a slight cough before hugging her back.
"We're pregnant." He whispered as Himiko pulled back and looked at him with lusty brown eyes.
"How about we celebrate? It won't be long before we can't anymore." She said biting at his neck and then moving to his earlobes.
"I-Is that o-ok?" He asked as Himiko nodded eagerly.
"It's so ok." She whispered.
"Izuku was such a good dad. He did everything for me after he found out I was pregnant. He hardly left my side, which was a blessing and curse. I think having him around so much is what made him so selfish." Himiko said her eyes darkening some. Dr. Nabe looked at her before speaking.
"Selfish are you referring to his actions in having you arrested?" She asked as Himiko hissed.
"YES!" She shouted. "Izuku became selfish he wanted our daughter to himself so he tricked me, he lied to me and then took her from me." She growled. Himiko couldn't see herself getting angry at Izuku, but she was jealous. Izuku didn't have to send her here. Himiko would have loved to be a mother to her daughter and she would have taught Hinako how to be the best daughter for her father and still, Izuku took her from her.
Several months had passed since Himiko had gotten pregnant. She was quite round now, and Himiko loved every part of it. From her morning sickness to her swollen feet she still enjoyed the simple fact that she was carrying Izuku's child. Himiko sat in Ochaco's form in the back of a cab with Izuku who was acting strangely. He wasn't talking to her or even looking at her. Every time he did he looked away before making eye contact. Something was wrong. Himiko reached over and grabbed Izuku's hand. She felt him flinch nearly pulling away, but he resisted the urge and left his hand in place. He didn't hold her hand back either. Himiko looked up her eyes drilling into Izuku's head. She knew he could feel it, but still, he didn't look at her.
"Izuku what's wrong?" She asked her voice flat and emotionless. Izuku turned his head in her direction, but never looked directly at her.
"There's nothing wrong…. Wait that's a lie, I'm nervous." He said and Himiko detected no lies in his words.
"What are you nervous about? It's just a doctor's visit everything is going to be fine." Himiko leaned over and kissed Izuku's cheek. Once again he froze in place not resisting, but not reciprocating either. This did not sit well with Himiko at all, was he really that nervous? This was one of the many doctor's appointments she'd taken since getting pregnant. Izuku insisted on her going to each one, so why was he worried now? She asked herself. "You're such a worrywart." She said still trying to puzzle out his odd behavior.
It might have been that internal processing that blinded her to other more obvious signs, the fact that they were being tailed for one and then that the clinic was practically deserted. By the time Himiko started noticing the signs Eraserhead rounded the corner with those fucking red eyes of his and there went her disguise. Himiko had grown complacent in her time with Izuku neglecting to carry her knives or any weapon on her person. Not that it would have mattered as she felt Izuku grab both her arms behind her back and hold her against the wall.
Her golden eyes looked into Izuku's. He was angry with her his green eyes glittering with fury. Himiko didn't want to say it, but her mouth moved on its own. "You look so handsome when you're angry." She said smiling at him.
"That was one of the last times I saw Izuku face to face. After that, I was brought here for the rest of my term. I'm sorry to say Hinako was born in this prison. I only got to hold her for a few minutes. Izuku made them do that. He still cared about me even then. She smiled as she remembered holding that tiny blonde baby in her hands. Looking down at Hinako in her arms eyes closed and nestled to her chest like that. It was the absolute best memory Himiko had. "I killed a nurse that day," Himiko whispered.
The nurse had reached for Hinako and Himiko had bit her wrist tearing the vein from it and showering herself with the blood. The orderlies couldn't come near her with their weapons for fear of hurting her baby, but once again Izuku was there. He stormed through the doors and grabbed her slamming her to the ground as he expertly caught Hinako in his cape.
"He was always there for us," Himiko whispered as she looked at Dr. Nabe. "I want to be with my daughter Doctor, and I will be. I know I scared Hinako the first time she came here, but I know she'll be back one day. We're family after all.
