Chapter 7: A Single Shard, Little Hope, and One Big Mess
The next morning, after a peaceful deep sleep, Toshinori woke up with Ari still against his chest. He smiled before kissing her head, admiring how cute she looked while she slept. Toshinori heard some noise coming from the kitchen and lifted his head slightly to see Vito was in the kitchen cooking some breakfast. Toshinori slowly and quietly got out of bed, being sure not to disturb Ari. Toshinori, who was still wearing the clothes he had on the day before, walked up to Vito.
"*Yawn* Good morning…" He said to Vito, still half asleep.
"Well, good morning Toshinori. Sleep well?" Vito asked with a smile on his face as he flipped some eggs. "You 2 sure looked cute sleeping together like that. I didn't want to wake you just yet." Vito said, placing some eggs onto a plate.
"Yeah, I don't think either of us moved after falling asleep last night. *Yawwwn*" Toshinori said, rubbing his neck.
"Take a seat, I'll bring over breakfast." Vito said, handing Toshinori some plates and cutlery. As they both took a seat at the table and dished themselves out, Toshinori kept looking over at Ari who was still fast asleep. Vito noticed him looking at Ari. "You know…You literally pulled a miracle yesterday…How did you know that would even work?" Vito asked.
"Honestly, I didn't…I just figured I would give it a try and see what would happen." Toshinori confessed. "It took a lot longer to do than I would have liked. I had to do a lot of convincing to get the paperwork signed off for a student to use their quirk outside of school." Toshinori sighed.
"I was wondering why it took you so long to come back." Vito said, placing an egg on his toast before taking a bite.
"I thought…Since it was a gift she gave me…And knowing her, she probably wanted to see them grow the traditional way." Toshinori giggled to himself. "But I don't have the patience for that." Toshinori said.
"She really is a lucky girl. You'll end up with both of us falling for you if you keep this up." Vito admitted, taking another bit of toast while he looked towards the sunflowers, glistening in the sunlight.
"Ah, haha…Wait what!?" Toshinori yelled in shock. Vito put his finger to his lips, telling him to be quiet and not to wake Ari.
"I did tell you I was a bottom and a top didn't I? Do you think I just said that without any meaning behind it?" Vito asked. "Ari and I have that in common at least." He added, looking back at Toshinori who was clearly confused. "We both like older men." He grinned. Toshinori, shocked at what Vito just said, couldn't respond. Instead he just looked at his plate and blushed, clearly embarrassed. "I can tell that you're not used to all this attention. Did you bottle your feelings up for decades, not even giving yourself a chance to love until now?" Vito asked.
"I…I was…Too busy with work…Didn't have time for that kind of stuff…." Toshinori admitted, taking a bite of his breakfast. Toshinori stopped for a moment, placing his hands on either side of his plate, holding cutlery in both hands. "Honestly…I drowned myself in work…To keep a promise I made to my master…And to forget the pain of losing her." He admitted, getting emotional.
"*Sigh* I guess you and Ari are not so different when it comes to that kinda stuff." Vito said, looking over at the bed. "She's not ready to tell you yet, Toshinori…But ask her about her past…If you want to really know and understand who she is…Who she was…And how we ended up here…" Vito said as a sad expression appeared across his face. "She's completely different from the rest of her family…A black sheep…In a wolf pack…And the fact we both like older men…Is both a blessing and a curse…I suppose." Vito slumped back into his chair before getting up and grabbing his dirty dishes. "Look…Toshinori…I've already said too much…Let's just take things one step at a time, don't want to overwhelm her so soon. She will more than likely need a few weeks to a month to fully jump back from this. So be patient with her…Ok?" Vito asked, grabbing Toshinori's plates. Toshinori just looked at Vito before looking down at his cup, full with hot tea.
"Ok…" Toshinori said under his breath. "I just hope…What I did will be enough…" He mumbled as Vito placed the dishes in the sink, rinsing them off. Vito pretended not to hear Toshinori because he was talking so quietly and continued to wash the dishes as he stayed seated at the table, clearly lost in thought. After Vito was done cleaning and drying the dishes, he walked over to Ari who was still sound asleep. Vito looked over at the clock, noticing it said 10:30am before deciding to try and wake her up. "Ari? Ari? It's time to get up, sleepy head." Vito said, rubbing her shoulder.
Ari groaned before pulling the blankets over her head. "What time is it…?" She mumbled.
"10:30 in the morning. You need to get up, the garden club won't be able to help you today. So it's up to you to do all the chores." Vito said, pulling the blankets down away from her head. Ari rolled over towards Vito, her darkened eyes partially opened as she looked at Vito.
"I feel…Like I could sleep another 10 hours…" She mumbled, her throat was clearly sore from crying the other night. "Can I have some tea, please?" She asked as she slowly lifted herself up, rubbing her eyes.
"Sure thing, would you like something to eat too?" Vito asked.
"No…Not yet." Ari responded. After rubbing her eyes, she was finally able to look around clearly, noticing Toshinori at the dining room table. He was holding a cup and looking out the window, admiring the sunflowers. "Oh…Good morning." She said as she scooted out of bed and walked over to the table.
"Hmm? Oh, good morning, Ari." Toshinori said with a big smile.
"When did you get up? I didn't even notice you leaving the bed." Ari said just as she yawned and stretched.
"Haha, yeah you were pretty out of it. I tried my best not to wake you." Toshinori chuckled before taking a sip of his tea.
"He woke up about 30 minutes ago." Vito answered, placing a fresh cup of tea in front of Ari. "We ended up talking over breakfast to let you sleep a little while longer."
"I see…Did you guys talk about anything interesting?" Ari asked, blowing on her tea.
"Nothing super interesting, just told him a bit about myself. Nothing more really." Vito said, taking a seat at the table.
"Oh…" Ari's facial expression changed from tired to sad. "What did you tell him exactly, Vito?" Ari asked, looking at Vito.
"Uh…I just told him a bit of my history with your family…That was pretty much it…" Vito hesitated to answer, nervously chuckling. Toshinori noticed the tension in the room and started to sink into his chair a bit.
"Hmm…I suspect you told him more…Didn't you." Ari glared at Vito for a moment. Vito put his hands up and shook his head, panicking. Ari suddenly laughed at Vito's reaction. "Haha! I don't care what you told him Vito, I was just teasing yeah. I just hope you didn't scare him too much, especially if you told him about Yourself." Ari said with a big smile, looking at both Vito and a blushing Toshinori. Ari noticed the discomfort Toshinori was in.
Vito sighed in relief. "Don't scare me like that…I felt my insides turn." Vito said, holding his tummy. Ari patted his back as she giggled. "So…I was thinking, Ari. Let's go to Toshinori's place and grab our stuff. You know…Since we won't be living there anymore." Vito said.
"Uh…S-sure I guess…We didn't exactly bring much and didn't buy much while we were living there so it should only take one trip." Ari looked over at Toshinori, sitting there in silence, just listening to Ari and Vito talk. "Will that be ok with you, Toshinori?" Ari asked.
"Hm? Oh…Y-yeah, no problem…" Toshinori got up from the table and headed to the bathroom. "I'll just be a moment." He said as he closed the door behind him. As Vito and Ari watched the bathroom door shut, Ari quickly whipped her head and looked at Vito. She got up, pulled him away from the table by the chair and then sat on his lap, looking at him right in the eyes, inches away from his face. She looked pissed and her fury was about to be unleashed. She suddenly grabbed 2 of his horns and pulled his head towards her, he closed his eyes, expecting the worst. But instead, she kissed his forehead before letting go of him. Vito, surprised, looked back at Ari who was now smiling but starting to tear up again. She embraced him tightly.
"Thank you…" Ari said just as Toshinori came out of the washroom, seeing Ari on Vito's lap, hugging him. Ari looked up at Toshinori who was staring at them and wiped her tears away. "H-hey, are you ready?" She asked.
"Uh…Y-yeah…Sure." Toshinori, unsure of what he just witnessed as Ari was getting off of Vito's lap. "Did I interrupt…Something?" He asked, looking concerned, unsure how to process what he just saw. Ari walked up to him smiling and as she approached him, she grabbed his shirt collar that she could barely reach and pulled him down to her. Passionately kissing Toshinori. This surprised Toshinori, catching him completely off guard. As she stopped kissing him, letting go of his collar and quickly grabbed his tie, looking deep into his blue eyes. "Wo-wow…" Toshinori was stunned, he's never been kissed like that before.
"Payment for helping me out yesterday. The little hope you gave me by pulling that stunt off…Not only made me very happy…But also made me realize that I shouldn't drown in the past anymore…And should be focusing on the future." She said, starting to tear up again with a smile. "Even though the damage has not yet healed completely…I'm able to smile again because of you." She let go of his tie to wipe her tears away. Toshinori hugged her tightly as he felt a wet spot begin to form on his shirt.
"A wound that big won't heal overnight, Ari. Don't push yourself to forget so fast. Allow yourself to heal." Toshinori said, lightening up his grip on Ari. She wiped the tears away with her hands before looking up at him. "I'll be here for you, to help you heal your shattered heart." He said as he smiled down at her. Ari smiled back before putting her head back on him.
"Toshinori…" Ari was starting to say just as Vito disappeared back into Ari. "I think…It's time to tell you…A bit about myself…Is that ok?" Ari asked, looking back up at him.
"Ah…Are you sure…If you don't want t-" Ari cuts off Toshinori.
"I Want To!" She burst out. "I have too…I need to tell you…Before I bottle it up again…" Toshinori put his hand on her head, calming her down.
"Ok, just…Don't push yourself too hard….Come, let's go outside and get some fresh air." Toshinori said, grabbing her hand and pulling her along. He led her to the bench by the cliff. "Here." He said, patting the bench for her to take a seat next to him. Ari hesitated before she took a seat at the far end of the bench, leaving a big gap between them. Toshinori didn't like the gap so he moved over to the center of the bench, still leaving a bit of a gap. Leaning forwards, putting his elbows on his legs and looking out towards the ocean. A small breeze blew through as Toshinori turned his head towards Ari before giving her a gentle smile.
"I uh…" She grabbed her arm tightly, clearly nervous. She took a deep breath before looking at him. "Please…Don't think less of me for what I'm about to tell you…" She pleaded. Toshinori leaned back on the bench and focused his attention on Ari. She looked away and down at her thighs. "I've…Killed someone before…" She admitted.
"Wh-what?" Toshinori responded. "Who did you kill?" He tried to ask gently.
"My father…" She started to tear up again. "I'm such an idiot! Being a daddy's girl…I never would have thought he would do such a thing…Especially to me…and my little sister…" She began to cry, trying to force back the tears as she wiped them away. "I didn't have a choice…I didn't care what he did to me…But I couldn't just let him hurt my sister…I needed to protect her! F-Fuck…" Toshinori was stunned, what could he say after hearing that? "My father…Was a lead scientist back in Canada…He enjoyed experimenting on animals and when they weren't enough anymore…He turned to…His own daughters…" She said as she continued to tear up and her voice became shaky. "I wasn't born with my quirks, Toshinori…They were forced on me by my father…But before he could get to my sister…I killed him in his own home…Just before he was about to inject her…" Ari looked at her hands, seeing the blood soaked hands that killed her father. "What's sad…Is that even though I was covered in his blood…It didn't bother me." She looked up from her hands and looked at Toshinori with a calm expression. She sighed deeply, leaning back into the bench, crossing her arms and became angry. "I thought I did the right thing…But now…I've been abandoned by my own family because of my actions…By the ones I tried so hard to protect…They tossed me to the streets without a second thought…When I was only 12…And since then, I've been constantly moving, place to place, being fooled over and over again. And when I thought I finally found a new family I can protect…They would toss me back onto the streets after they're done using me." Ari at this point had completely stopped crying. "I guess back then that's all I was ever good for…But…When I finally thought I found the one person who would keep me…Died right in front of me…In my arms…And there was nothing I could do…" Ari looked back at Toshinori. "Remember when I told you that I used to be an alcoholic?" She asked.
"Yeah…At the beach…" He answered as she smirked.
"Even though we were not married, I considered him my husband. Because we lived together for so long…And in the end…I couldn't change who he was…Or what he was doing to himself, what he did right in front of me…" She put her hands to her chest. "He drank himself to death…To the point his body was rejecting his own blood…He refused to go get help, he wouldn't even go to the hospital when I pleaded with him to go…He wouldn't…" Ari's tense body became relaxed. "He ignored my feelings…He ignored the fact I wanted him to live so we could create a life together…With children…And a house to call our own…At least that was the plan…" Toshinori gently took Ari's hand from her chest.
"Those dreams could still be achieved if you keep believing in them, Ari…" He said, looking at Ari with such sorrow. Her eyes were showing life again before she pulled away her hand.
"It's no longer possible…" She said, placing a hand on her womb. "At the time I didn't care…What the Canadian government did to me…When I was eventually caught…" Ari put her hand on his arm as she looked at him. "I went on a rampage after my husband passed away…And got caught for using Vito's power without permission or being a hero…And causing a lot of property damage." She admitted. "I'm not proud of it, Toshinori…But I was young and out of control, unsure on how to deal with the situation on my own, who to blame…With no family to support me…No one to help my crying heart…But." Ari looked towards the ocean before looking back at Toshinori. "But then I found you…I tried really hard to not get attached but…You're incredibly hard not to fall in love with…" She said, smiling at Toshinori as he blushed. "Your positive attitude, how you want to protect everyone around you, you even try extremely hard for your students to make sure they succeed…I love all of that about you. But what I love most about you is that you are you." Ari laughed. "Your not afraid to be a goof if it means you get people to laugh and smile…You also try your hardest all the time just to show that you care…*Sigh* You have such a big beautiful heart Toshinori…I'm honestly jealous." Ari frowned. "I try to do all the same things…But it always ends the same…Being used until I'm no longer useful…Or screwing things up, making things even worse than they were before." Ari looked up to the sky.
"Maybe…This time…It will be different…Everyone here, including the students, care about you, a lot more than you're aware of." Toshinori said, scooching over towards Ari more before wrapping his arm around and pulling her into him. "Thank you for telling me…I'll never get tired of you for being you either…And I'll make sure you never live on the streets again…I promise." Toshinori felt Ari wrap her arms around his waist, hugging him tightly as she started to shake. He stroked her hair, letting her cry into his shirt, silently. After a few moments, Ari pushed herself away from Toshinori, wiping the tears away before taking a deep breath in and looked up at him.
"Ok! Let's go grab my stuff from your place and get that out of the way." Ari said, suddenly standing up. She was ready to get the day rolling and she offered Toshinori her hand.
"Uh…Ok." Toshinori, surprised, smiled as he accepted her hand, pulling him up from the bench. He, in return, offered her his arm, which she gladly took as they began their walk up to the campus. As they reached the top of the path, Ari stumbled a bit, tripping over the concrete ledge of the walkway. "Hmm?" Toshinori noticed she looked exhausted and was starting to drag her feet. "Hey, are you o-"
"Heeeyy! All Might!" A voice called out to him, it was Midoriya doing his afternoon jog.
"Oh! Young Midoriya! Hey!" Toshinori said, turning towards Midoriya as Ari still held onto his arm, slumped over a bit. Midoriya, who was smiling happily towards Toshinori, noticed the girl next to him who didn't look too good.
"Hey…Is everything ok? That girl doesn't look too good…Should we take her to Recovery Girl?" Midoriya asked, starting to reach towards Ari's arm.
"I'm fine…Just out of shape is all, haha." Ari laughed as she forced herself to look up as if she was fine. "All Might was helping me go see her now actually. I hurt my back a few days ago and wanted to see if she had any medication I could take for the pain." Ari explained.
"Yeah, we should get going before the pain becomes too much for you." Toshinori added, looking concerned.
"Would you like to get on my back? It would be easier on your back if you didn't have to walk." Midoriya offered.
"It's fine, Recovery Girl is actually going to meet us at my place since it's closer." Toshinori explained to Midoriya.
"Oh…All right…Well, I won't keep you, message me if you need any help." Midoriya said as he started to continue his jog, passing Toshinori and Ari. They waved to him as he went by and when he was out of sight, Ari slumped over again, Toshinori caught Ari before she fell down. She was breathing heavily and starting to sweat.
"Hey, hey! Are you alright?" Toshinori asked, getting really concerned now.
"Yeah*Huff* Just…Suddenly…Got dizzy…*Huff* Let's…Keep going." Ari said as she tried to take a step but fell into Toshinori.
"You don't look so good…" Toshinori held up Ari as he grabbed his phone from his back pocket and called Recovery Girl.
"Hello? All Might?" Recovery Girl answered.
"Hey, sorry to bother you on your day off." Toshinori said. "But I need a favor."
"Oh? What can I help you with?" Recovery Girl asked. "Midoriya didn't hurt himself again did he?"
"Midoriya is fine, it's Ari, she suddenly collapsed when we reached the top of the path to the campus. Could you meet me at my place and have a look at her?" Toshinori asked, clearly sounding very concerned.
"*Sigh* Let me gather my things and I'll be right there." Recovery Girl answered.
"Thank you, I really owe you one." Toshinori thanked her profusely.
"Stay where you are, All Might. I'm going to send Aizawa over to help you carry her." Recovery Girl said before hanging up on Toshinori.
"...I don't need his help…" Toshinori said frustratedly before putting his phone back into his pocket. At this point, Ari was knocked out but still breathing pretty heavily as Toshinori managed to get her onto his back. As he carried her towards his place, he could see Aizawa running towards them.
"Hey! How's Ari?" Aizawa asked, breathing heavily from running.
"…She collapsed right after Midoriya left. She said she felt dizzy and then collapsed." Toshinori said, placing Ari down so Aizawa could take over carrying her. Aizawa got Ari onto his back and they continued towards Toshinori's place. Just as they approached the front doors, Recovery Girl was waiting for them, sitting on top of her medical case.
"Took you 2 long enough." Recovery Girl snapped. "You asked me to come out here and you had the nerve to make me wait?" She complained, huffing and puffing at Toshinori.
"Ah! So sorry. It took a bit to get Ari onto Aizawa safely." He explained, apologizing to Recovery Girl.
She huffed one last time before saying "Well, let's get her upstairs and onto a bed before I check her out." Recovery Girl said. "All Might, grab my case would you?" She demanded. As the 4 of them made their way upstairs, Recovery Girl looked at Ari, noticing she was sweating and her breathing was irregular while they stood in the elevator.
"Let's put her in my room." Toshinori said as he unlocked his door and opened it for Aizawa. Just as Ari was placed on top of Toshinori's bed, Recovery Girl went straight to work. Toshinori watched from the doorway, making sure to stay out of Recovery Girl's way while Aizawa made some tea. After a while, Recovery Girl, Aizawa, and Toshinori sat around the coffee table, sipping on some tea.
"She'll be fine…She just needs some rest. Her body is exhausted but will recover with rest." Recovery Girl explained. "Do you still have any of that protein shake mix you used to drink, All Might?" She asked.
"Uh, no, I'm out. I meant to go get some more. Why do you ask?" Toshinori responded, confused.
"Get some fruit and make one for her when she gets up. Her body needs protein but giving her a piece of meat will more than likely upset her stomach. So a shake should be easier for her to digest." Recovery Girl explains.
"You shouldn't leave Ari alone. I'll go grab some." Aizawa said, sipping his tea. "I'll go to the store to see if they have something more gentler than what All Might used to drink. It's probably too aggressive for Ari with her weak body."
"Ah…Yeah…You're right. I used to work out hard back then and needed the right supplements to help me gain muscle." Toshinori admitted.
"Alright, it's still early. I'll go run to the store now." Aizawa said as he stood up, looking over at Toshinori. "Anything else I you need?"
"Hmm…Maybe grab some almond milk, regular milk might be too hard on her." Toshinori suggested.
"Right." Aizawa agreed as Recovery Girl slid off the couch and walked over to her medical case, pulling out some medication for Toshinori.
"Here, while I was examining her, I noticed her back had past damage done to it. If she wakes up and she's in pain, give her one of these every 4 hours." Recovery Girl explained as she gave Toshinori a pill bottle of painkillers. "They will make her a bit drowsy, so don't worry if she ends up sleeping a lot over the next couple days."
"Right…Thank you…Both of you…I really appreciate everything you've done." Toshinori said just as Aizawa picked up Recovery Girls case.
"Don't worry about it." Aizawa said as he followed Recovery Girl out. "I'll be back in an hour so keep an eye on her." As the door closed, Toshinori stood in the hallways for a while before grabbing a chair from the dining room table and taking it into his room, setting it down next to Ari. Ari's breathing had become stable after Recovery Girl looked at her earlier and she was no longer sweating. Toshinori closed his bedroom curtains before walking over to the chair and took a seat next to Ari.
"Why did this suddenly happen? Didn't Vito say whatever he eats will go to Ari?" He thought to himself as he placed his hand on his chin. "Maybe…What he was eating wasn't enough to split between the 2?" Toshinori thought to himself as he sighed and leaned back into the chair, frustrated. After a while of watching Ari, Toshinori started to doze off in the chair when he heard the front door open. Aizawa just walked in with a bag in his hand, giving it to Toshinori who was just coming out of his room.
"Here, I ended up going to the pharmacy to grab the ingredients. They suggested this premixed stuff would be best for Ari in her condition." Aizawa explained. "How's she doing?" He asked Toshinori as he looked in the bag.
"She's fine, been sleeping the whole time while you have been gone." Toshinori said, walking into the kitchen to put everything away. Aizawa leaned over the counter, watching Toshinori put the premixed shakes into the fridge.
"How are you holding up? You seem more distracted than usual." Aizawa asked.
"..." Toshinori hesitantly looked towards Aizawa. "Just…Trying to process…Some information I got this morning…That's all." He explained as he placed the last item into the fridge.
"Does it have something to do with Ari?" Aizawa asked.
"..." Toshinori looked at Aizawa over his shoulder. "Yeah…It does…" He answered before placing his head onto the fridge door and sighed. "Just…A lot of information was thrown at me…Been trying to get my thoughts together." Aizawa got off the counter and walked over to Toshinori, placing his hand on Toshinori's shoulder.
"No matter what she told you…She's still the same Ari." Aizawa said, trying to reassure Toshinori. "I'm aware she has a lot of baggage but that shouldn't be a good enough reason to have your opinion about her change." Aizawa said sternly. Aizawa sighed as he turned towards the dining room table and took a seat. "Has she told you about Artrio yet?" He asked Toshinori.
"Artrio? What's that?" Toshinori asked, leaning against the kitchen counter with his arms crossed.
"*Deep sigh* Artrio is what Ari and Vito called this in-between version of themselves." Aizawa tried to explain. "Basically, from what I understand, Artrio is a mix between the 2 and apparently they have only appeared once or twice in Ari's life so far. So there isn't much information regarding them…" Aizawa said, leaning his head against his hand. As Aizawa and Toshinori talked in the kitchen, Ari began to sweat again and looked like she was having a horrible nightmare. Tossing and turning with a painful look all over her face. As she gasped for air, the bracelet that had the medication in broke into pieces. Ari could only make gasping noises as her body throbbed in pain, causing her to lift her back off of the bed. Toshinori noticed some movement coming from his room. As he approached the door, he saw Ari was upright in bed with her hands around her neck, her body covered in a dark shadow. Aizawa came up behind Toshinori, throwing his binding cloth into the room, wrapping it around Ari. When Toshinori turned to look at Aizawa and ask what he was doing, Aizawa had his quirk activated and continued to look towards Ari. Just as he whipped his head back towards Ari, she jumped towards them, wrapped in Aizawa's binding cloth, knocking them both down to the floor. Her appearance had changed, her hair was shorter, longhorns appeared on either side of her head, different from Vito's, pointed pierced ears, sharp tail with a gold band on it and Vito's markings on her face. She also appeared taller and her body looked much stronger. Aizawa pulled his bindings to try to fling her across the room to get her off of them, but she didn't budge. She had a crazy hungry look on her face, licking her lips as she looked down on them, seeing them in pain as she stood on their stomachs.
"These bindings are hot and all but not very useful." She spoke, leaning over Aizawa looking into his eyes inches away from his face. "Your quirk doesn't work on me Mr. Aizawa because this isn't a quirk. This is just a way of life." She explained.
"What…The hell…" Toshinori grunted, putting his hands around her foot, trying to lift it off of his stomach.
"What? Can't handle a little pain, All Might? Or is my foot too heavy for you?" She asked as she dug her heel deeper into Toshinori's side, causing him to whip his head back in pain.
"Get…Off…Of him…" Aizawa struggled to say, trying to lift himself off of the floor. She put her foot on his chest, slamming him back onto the floor, causing Aizawa to close his eyes.
"Hmm…?" Her attention on Aizawa, took her foot off of Toshinori and took a seat on top of Aizawa. Toshinori coughed, gasping for air as he held onto his stomach area. She undid Aizawa's bindings and used it on himself, putting it around his neck and pulling him towards her. "Your toy here will be very useful when I tie you to the bed later." She said with a massive sharp tooth grin and a bit of blushing as she snickered.
"Who *Cough* Are you? *Cough*Cough*" Toshinori managed to say before coughing up some blood.
"I go by the name Artrio. Hate it but it's what they gave me. Not very sexy at all." Artrio got off of Aizawa, throwing his binding clothes onto him. Artrio looked at Toshinori, wiping the blood from the side of his mouth, angrily looked up at Artrio. She squatted down by Toshinori, looking at him intently. "I don't get what's so special about you." Artrio said with a huff. "Both of them adore you but I don't see anything special." Artrio got up and turned towards Aizawa. "You on the other hand are a total catch. I will thoroughly enjoy breaking you." Artrio grinned, squatting down and poking Aizawa's angry looking cheek. Aizawa slapped Artrio's hand away, giving her a furious glare.
"Stop that." He demanded as he got up from the ground. "What do you want?" Aizawa asked, looking down at Artrio. Artrio chuckled before getting up and looking back at Aizawa, placing her hand on his chest as she ginned.
"Tell me…Mr. Aizawa, what do you know about me?" Aizawa grunted and looked towards Toshinori who was getting himself up. Aizawa looked back at Artrio and blushed a tiny bit. She giggled at Aizawa's reaction. "So you're aware of what I'm after." She seductively said as she pulled on Aizawa's pants and licked her lips. "It's time for a meal, don't you think Toshinori?" Artrio said, looking back at Toshinori who was still holding his stomach. As her attention was on Toshinori, Aizawa remembered something Vito told Doctor Rosa a while back. Aizawa quickly forced Artrio onto the ground, flipping her around and pulling on her tail. "Y-you….F-fu-ah-er!" She moaned as she was being pinned down by Aizawa.
"Toshinori!" Aizawa grunted, trying to keep Artrio on the ground. "I could use your help here!" Toshinori quickly went over and helped pin Artrio down.
"Come one! I-Ah! Just got out!" Artrio said, angrily.
"Answer our questions and maybe we will let you stay out for a while." Aizawa demanded, still pulling on her tail.
"Fine! Fine! What do you want to know?" Artrio gave in. Before anyone started to ask questions, Aizawa binded her up with his binding clothes, making sure she couldn't move this time. "So…What would you like to know?" Artrio gumpidly asked.
"For starters, what are you?" Aizawa asked, his arms crossed as he stood in front of her.
"Ugh." Artrio said. "I was made by Ari." She answered.
"What do you mean?" Toshinori asked.
"Basically, when she went on that so-called rampage because her so-called 'husband' died, she unknowingly created me." Artrio answered. "I'm her innermost darkest desires and her anger in one big bundle of joy." Artrio laughs.
"If she made you, does that mean she can get rid of you?" Toshinori asked.
"..." Artrio hesitated to answer. "Yes…If that's what she truly desires."
"You said you are Ari's darkest desires and anger. What could she be so angry about still?" Toshinori asked.
"What? You don't want to know what gets her wet? Geez." Artrio said with a disappointed look. Toshinori jumped back a little into the couch, blushing a little. "*Deep Sigh* She's still pissed about everything, what her family did with abandoning her, her husband killing himself, being used and abused for years. It's just a combination of shit into one." Artrio explained. "Any more questions? This is getting boring really quick."
"Just one, why did you come to Japan?" Aizawa asked.
"We were forced to. We didn't want to come here! The fucking government forced us to come here because Japan has the top of the line tech! Whereas Canada doesn't, that's the only reason why!" Artrio yelled, looking pissed.
"Aizawa, that's enough." Toshinori said, walking over to Artrio. "Just…undo the bindings…" He asked.
"I have one last question I need to answer before I do that." Aizawa said, tightening the bindings. "The information we have on you said you're incredibly strong…But you can't even get yourself out of my bindings. What's changed?" He asked, Artrio looked up at Aizawa.
"...Because she believes in him…And his promise he made to her…Her anger is slowly disappearing and so is my strength." Artrio explains. "Does that answer your question, Mr. Aizawa?" Aizawa just walked away, not undoing the bindings. He walked to the kitchen and grabbed one of those premixed shakes from the fridge and brought it over to Artrio.
"Drink this." Aizawa said, undoing the bindings and handing the drink to Artrio.
"...Why?" She asked, confused.
"Because Recovery Girl asked us to give you one when you woke up." Aizawa answered, frustrated. Artrio hesitantly accepted the drink from Aizawa before twisting off the top and chugged the drink down.
"There, happy now?" She asked, whipping her mouth as she looked back at Aizawa.
"For now." He answered. "Now, tell us how we get Ari back." He demanded.
"You have 2 options. Option 1, wait it out for a few days to a week and deal with me the entire time or option 2, either one of you or both of you have sex with me until I'm satisfied. If you choose that way, Ari will come back right after the deed is done." Artrio explained. Toshinori and Aizawa both hesitated, thinking about their options as they looked at eachother.
"How…Long are we talking?" Toshinori asked, hesitatingly blushing.
"How long for what? Until I'm satisfied? Hmm…" Artrio took a moment to think about her answer. "With one guy, I could end up breaking him before I even get close to being satisfied. But with 2, I could probably be good by tomorrow afternoon?" Artrio guessed.
"Ugh…" Aizawa grunted, placing his hand on his forehead in frustration before looking over at Toshinori. "Let's put down some rules, first." He said. "Whatever happens in that room today, stays in that room." Aizawa pointed at Toshinori's room. "Rule 2, do not force someone to pass out unless asked. Rule 3, no cutting or scratching. I don't want to see any unnecessary blood being shed tonight." Artrio whined at the 3rd rule. "Rule 4, if you try anything that we are not comfortable with or try without permission." Aizawa looked very displeased at Artrio, scaring her a bit. "I'll personally drag your naked ass down to Doctor Rosa." Artrio backed up to the wall with her hands up in surrender.
"Ok! Ok! I get it!" Artrio whimpered. "If you don't mind me asking…What are your kinks? I just want to know what you're into before starting." She bluntly asked. Aizawa turned his back to her before answering.
"...Um…" He pulled on his binding cloth that was around his neck.
"Bondage, nice, nice, would you be interested in being tied up and blind folded?" Artrio asked, actually interested in Aizawa's kink.
"..." Aizawa's face turned flush. "...S-sure…" Artrio turned her attention to Toshinori who got spooked and looked at her a bit scared.
"And, what about you? Mr. All Might Sir?" Artrio began to crawl on all fours towards Toshinori. Toshinori's head began to spin from the pressure. "Don't be shy, I promise I'll be gentle." Toshinori covered his bright red face with his hands before mumbling something quietly. "Sorry, what was that? Pardon? Can you say that again but louder." Artrio taunted Toshinori with an evil grin.

Just as he was undoing his pants, two large men burst into Toshinori's home. One ran over towards Artrio, kicking her to the wall. Artrio coughed, Aizawa and Toshinori quickly did up their pants before confronting these men.
"What the hell is going on here?" Toshinori asked as a bigger guy walked into his room, black suit, 3 large scars along on his face, well kept beards and short hair.
"We got word that the device was turned off, so due to protocol, we pursued the creature and capture it." The man answered.
"Creature?" Aizawa said before looking back at Artrio. She had stopped coughing, had a death glare through her hair, drool was dripping out of her mouth.
"You couldn't have just let me have my fun, now could you?" Artrio said as her body began to change. Her elbows became long and pointed, dark claws formed on her hands and feet, her tail became spiky, ears and horns grew longer, her naked body partially covered as a black skin tight fabric covered her body, creating a very revealing black outfit. "Who wants to try their luck first?" She said with a big toothy grin.
"There's no need, you'll be coming with us." The man with the scars said as he pulled out a gun from his suit, aiming it at Artrio. Toshinori ran in front of Artrio, blocking the man's shot. Artrio leaned against Toshinori's back, placing her hand down his shirt along his chest and one on his chin, licking his neck as she pulled him down.
"Don't worry, my sweet treat. Once I teach these guys a lesson about proper manners, I'll be sure to eat you up when I come back." Artrio said before jumping around the room and grabbing a hold of the first two men by their collar and tossing them both towards the one with the gun, knocking them backwards into the living room. Artrio was on all fours on top of the men, licking her lips and grinning from ear to ear.
"Ari! Stop!" Toshinori yelled. "This isn't you!" Artrio stood up and looked down at Toshinori with a disgusted look.
"Oh? And how would you know?" She jumped down and walked over to Toshinori. "I was created to protect her mind and expose her darkest desires because of men like you!" She poked his chest. "Men like you always think of themselves first and are blind to how people feel around them! Even if you're told to your face! You ignore them and their concerns!" Artrio got angrier, pushing Toshinori back into his room. "I may be a monster that was created by Ari and Vito, but I'm nowhere near a monster as one of you men! Even the kind hearted ones stomp on us! So fu-" The man with the scars quickly placed a new collar around Artrio's neck. And just as she turned to confront the man, a massive jolt shocked Artrio, causing her to fall to the floor, collapsing.
"What a mess…*Sigh* Come on guys, let's get her to the lab. I'll let Doctor Rosa know he'll be expecting company." The man said as he whipped out his phone. "You two, come with us. You have information on Artrio that Doctor Rosa will need. " The man instructed Toshinori and Aizawa.
