Chapter 1
I'm back! Welcome everybody to the first chapter of 'Different'. In this one, Izuku will meet someone important in the story, so stay tune to find out. And because I don't know what else to say here, let's go to the story!
Legend:
"Talking."
'Thinking...'
Chapter 1: A Family of Monsters
'Maybe... this was a bad idea...'
That was what Izuku was thinking after one month of living on the streets. At first, he was okay. The only problem was that the sleeping conditions are horrible.
When Dr. Katase told him that not eating would be bad, he didn't expect this.
Pain, his senses not working well and his whole body in general feels weak. And the hunger is giving him ideas.
One of those, to kill and eat someone.
The day was horrible too. It was raining and that made his senses worse. He can't smell nothing and his hearing is confused. At least there is no one in the street.
Feeling that his legs would give in at any second, he stumbled into a park and sat down on a bench. He looked at the cloudy sky and started to wonder...
'Is mom happy?'
'Is Kachan angry for leaving?'
'Are they worried?'
Izuku was so into his thoughts that he didn't notice the teen that sat next to him. The teen was wearing a black hoodie, with black pants and red shoes. He had light blue hair and red eyes. He was really pale and slim.
Izuku noticed the sound of eating and look at his side and saw that the teen was eating a bag of fries. Remembering his hunger, Izuku stomach rumbled.
The teen looked at him and Izuku saw his dry lips. "Hungry?" the teen asked with a raspy voice. Izuku only answer was his stomach making more noise making Izuku look down. The teen put the bag of chips closer to Izuku "Here, take one."
Izuku shook his head "I-I can't..."
"Ehh? What? Your mommy told you not to take things from strangers?" The teen asked and Izuku shook his head. The teen put the bag on his face. "C'mon. I'm trying to be nice here."
Izuku started to shake "I-I can't! Leave me alone!" Izuku screamed as he smacked the bag out of his hand. Izuku then realized what he did. "I-I'm s-sorr-"
"Ugh. It is alright I guess. There weren't that good anyway. Hey, do you like meat?" The teen asked and Izuku started to sweat. Does this guy know his quirk?
"I-I-I..."
The teen grinned "I know you do. Here, I think that I have something... here!"
Izuku looked at what the teen took out from the pocket of his hoodie and his eyes widened seeing it was a pale hand. Instinct taking over him, his eyes turned black with red iris as the veins started to crack around his eyes. He took the hand and started to devour it for dear life.
The teen was just staring how Izuku was eating the hand. 'So, he is one of them...'
Izuku, now with food in his stomach, realized what he just did.
He ate a hand.
In front of someone.
Slowly, he stops feeding on the rotten hand and turned his heads to the hooded teen. He saw that the teen stood up and started to walk away. "Glad that you enjoyed it. Hope that we can meet again Ghoul Kid."
Izuku looked at the half-eaten hand he is holding and turned again to the teen. "W-Wait!"
"Relax. I won't rat you on anybody. Nobody knows about your quirk, y'know?"
Izuku nodded shakily and asked one final question. "W-What's your name?"
The teen stopped and looked at him "Shigaraki Tomura." he then left Izuku alone with a hand. The rain stopped and Izuku decided to learn more about this Shigaraki Tomura.
With his mind decided, he sniffed the hand.
*Next Day, The Black Hole Bar*
Kurogiri was enjoying his morning. He woke up, he went to his adored bar, cleaned some glasses, organized his alcoholic drinks to make the bar look decent, and Tomura still doesn't destroy anything.
A perfect morning in others words.
And to sum things up, a client came in. Not a villain looking for job. A client came to drink. Something that happens in a few occasions per year.
He looked at the door and was immediately disappointed that the client, was a kid. He may be a villain, but he knows that alcohol is horrible for kids.
"E-Excuse me..." The kid shyly said. Kurogiri noticed that the state he was, could be considered disgusting. Like if he was living on the street...
'Oh dear...'
"Yes; in what may I help you?" Kurogiri asked the young boy that took out from his pocket something that reminded him of one of Tomura's many hands that he collects from his victims.
The kid got closer to Tomura and extended whatever he was carrying "I-I wanted t-to give you your h-hand back Tomura-san."
Kurogiri almost dropped the glass he was cleaning. This kid... haves one of Tomura's hands!? And why is it in half!?
Tomura eyes the hand and the back at the table "Keep it. You already ate most of it."
Now Kurogiri dropped the glass making it shatter.
"Ah! A-Are you okay? D-Do you need any help?" The kid asked him and Kurogiri shook his head.
"Don't worry about it. I'll go get something to clean this mess. You two, please, don't destroy this place." Kurogiri said as he went to the cleaning closet to look for something to clean up the shards of glass.
Once the mist man was out, Izuku sat next to Tomura and fidgeted with his fingers. "T-Thank you."
Tomura eyed him "For?"
Izuku gulped hard "W-Well, f-for giving me your h-hand. And, w-why did you have a h-hand with you?"
"That? Well, because I am a villain." Tomura explained and went to bite his nails.
Izuku widened his eyes as he stared at the teen. "Y-You are a v-vi-villain?"
"A problem with that?" Tomura asked as he eyed the kid dangerously.
Izuku shook his head "N-No at all! Is that I... pictured you... eviler." Izuku tried to explain and Tomura raised a brow.
"What?"
Izuku moved his hands in front of him "I-I mean that any o-other villain or person wouldn't give me 'that' to save me! S-Sorry if I insulted you!" Izuku apologized and Tomura turned back to biting his nails.
"Whatever. You're welcome I guess."
They stayed in silence for a while. Finally,Tomura stood up. "Hey kid; Do you like video games?"
*1 Month Later*
Kurogiri was watching as how Tomura and Izuku were playing some race game as he cleaned some more glasses.
Izuku had been stating with them over a month now and he haves better living conditions now. Clothes, shelter and food.
Izuku has problems of eating, which in some sense it is understandable, so he eats the minimum to survive.
Tomura is really protective of Izuku. Never letting him out of his watch. Not that Izuku wanted to go away.
This two people, villains of all things, don't judge him. Is more, they help him evolve. Tomura is teaching him how to fight and defend himself and even trying to use his Kagune, that is still a work in progress. While Kurogiri gives him the best coffee he ever tasted, and gets him food and cooks them pretty well.
Izuku isn't sure how Tomura and Kurogiri knew about his quirk, but he isn't complaining. For the first time...
He feels like if he belongs to somewhere now.
*3 Months Later*
"So, you want to add this, Izuku, to our ranks Tomura?" A voice asked from a monitor and Tomura nodded.
"Yes Sensei."
"I don't see the problem. But, why ask me this? You usually just add members without asking me first. Why the exception this time?" Sensei asked.
"Well... because I wanted him to be in the inner circle." Tomura confessed and there was no response at first.
"I repeat; I don't see the problem. If you see him fit to join us in such position of trust, I'll trust your judgment. But, I must ask, why?" Sensei asked again more curious this time. He is wondering why Tomura wanted to add someone to this position.
"I don't know Sensei. He just reminds me of me."
"Oh? Do tell."
"Well; when I met him, he was about to die. He was alone, hungry, dirty and tired. With no one to take care of him. With a monstrous quirk. So, I decided to do what you did with me Sensei; you save me. You are my true hero." Tomura explained and silence fell again.
"I see... bring him to me. I wish to greet our newest member to the new League of Villains." Tomura grinned and rushed to the bar to tell Izuku the good news.
All for One was happy. Tomura was going to be his sucesor and he already found someone he trusts. And if he guesses is correct, he might even have the infamous 'Ghoul' quirk. He smirked. Such power at his service. He once tried to get the power to himself, but failed. While he was searching for the Kagune, he only got the physical enhancement.
People with that quirk are really warry. And with good reason. They are shunned from society due to something they can't control. What should make them easy to manipulate and mold, they are instead wary of the rest of the population. At least the ones that manage to pass childhood.
'Let's see if Izuku will be a valuable asset...'
Tomura rushed to the bar where he saw Izuku learning from Kurogiri something school related. He ignored that and got next to Izuku.
"Hey guess what?"
Izuku turned to the teen with a smile "What?"
Tomura grinned and Kurogiri raised an eyebrow.
"Sensei wants to meet you."
And done! This was the first chapter of 'Different'. Hope you enjoyed. Now, I kind of lost a little bit of motivation at the end, but I hope it was good anyways. And that I did a good job with the villains. I really like to make them see more than just that. Villains. So, here they are actually people that have the ability to care. Also, in next chapter will happen something important on their relationship. Something that will change Izuku in the story. And that's all! Remember to leave your Review that it helps my motivation, PM me for any doubt or suggestion, Follow and Favorite the story and me.
Till Next Time.
