Kagura had arrived back at All for One's warehouse. He then saw the man grin at him and say:
"I'll ask how your day was later, but for now, let's talk about you joining us in the operation".
"Sure", said Kagura stoically.
"So basically, we are stealing a pharmaceutical that can give quirks or enhance current existing quirks. We need this quirk to make the Tojo family stronger by giving them quirks thus, increasing our current foot soldiers. So… here's the plan. You basically have to distract them long enough for us to infiltrate their house and laboratories. The father would try and test you to see if you are worthy to be with his daughter. Both as a friend and romantically…"
Kagura rose an eyebrow at this as he didn't think there was need for him to jump to that conclusion so fast.
"So, he will first question you on your past. Which would be the hardest part for you due to your past. But just be as honest as you can and you should clear that hurdle easily. The next would be a series of intelligence tests. He would probably ask you to play games like chess, sudoku, connect four; you cannot beat him and he's not looking for you to beat him. He's a highly smart man, he's expecting you to more or less be a good sport about it if anything. The third test is where he weeds out the week; it's mostly different every time and any no one ever makes it through this test but a handful of people. But you have to prove your strong and how well you do under pressure. Then the final test, you're not going to like…"
"Just tell me".
"It's a test of selflessness and we don't know how to exactly pass this test. So… just… improvise on that part".
"I don't improvise sensei", the teen said coldly.
"You have to my boy. Part of being undercover is improvising every day. This will be a good test of your skills. I know you have traits of mostly a master strategist and you are very good at seeing ahead. Your intuition, analytical skills and mind work so well that it makes you extraordinary. But you must work on the chinks in your armor. Master plans go awry very fast Kagura-kun. Besides, you have a lot at stake: you have the possibility of blowing your cover, getting us caught and even not being able to see a girl you like is another thing you have to consider…" he said cheekily.
"I don't like her. I hardly know her and besides, she's an enemy. I'll have to kill her someday", he said in an impersonal tone.
"Kagura… do you take me for a fool? Kenshi told me that you requested a big-time favor from him for this. And for you to request something like that over a mission, is unheard of. Science, stealing, covert and espionage are your favorite missions. This is right up your alley; for you to be uncomfortable with this is unheard of", said All for One even more cheekily.
"She just…" Kagura trailed off with embarrassment.
"Brings out another side of you? Did you forget I can read minds?" said All for One mischievously.
"She won't get in the way of my mission sensei".
"Oh Kagura, I know she won't. In fact, I want you to manipulate her to join us. She sounds like a bright girl if she caught your eye. I also have a quirk that can tell me what a person most desires in a romantic partner. And yours has to scream with intelligence. Combine that with her quirk to create anything, she can be deadly for anyone", he said with ecstasy.
"She has to choose her fate. I cannot force her to do anything and that's the end of this discussion", he said fiercely.
"Very well. Kenshi will give you an outfit to wear. He always has the best taste when it comes to these events".
Kagura just wordlessly left without saying a word. He then glared straight ahead and though to himself:
'That girl will not get in my way. I'll kill her first if she does'.
A few days later
It's Saturday and so far, school proved to be easy. In academics, it was hard for Kazuto who wasn't really all that smart. Well, he is smart considering he didn't get a proper education until nearly nine years old, but he still had to work really hard to catch up to the rest of his class, Kagura proved to be a genius and child prodigy. So, he was chosen as the class rep, but he gave that job to Tenya because he wanted leadership duties and he Kagura was never one to be a full-on leader. He much rather preferred to be second in command then the top and he figured that Momo should have the opportunity to be leading as well.
Kagura is now sitting with his father in his car outside the Yaoyorozu residence which was huge. Kagura's house was pretty big for a single father, but he had to work overtime, have multiple jobs, Kagura and Aoi had to pitch in even. Kagura by stealing or going on jobs with his partner, Aoi through modelling. Apparently in their old middle school, Aoi ran into a director of a modelling agency and he took an interest in her. She now models after school for various products and she even might get into acting soon as she's already built up a reputation as a model in the nearly two years she's worked as a model. But even after all that, they can only afford about a three story, four-bedroom, two bath house while Momo's looked to be five stories. Kenshi patted Kagura on the back and said:
"You look very handsome son. Although I think you would look better if you didn't have your hair naturally spiky and gelled it", he commented with adoration.
"No matter. This suit looks makes me look like something out of an American superhero movie".
Kagura wore a nice black dress coat with black dress pants, a white dress shirt underneath and a nice dark green tie which brought out Kagura's eyes and made them seem even more green. He also had a dark green belt around his waist to further compliment the nice colors of black, white and green.
"Oh stop. You look great! That specific emerald green brings out your eyes beautifully. Now then, make sure you pass the first two tests. If you fail either test, he'll ask you to leave immediately. So don't. Screw up".
"Got it", he said irritated.
"Good luck!" he said excitedly as Kagura left to buzz the gates and Dr. Fujitora drove off.
He rang the buzzer to the gate and buzzer sparked to life and a female voice spoke on the other line that said:
"Yaoyorozu residence, how can I help you?" she said in a dull tone.
"Good evening. My name is Fujitora Kagura. I have been invited for dinner by the daughter of the Yaoyorozu's", he said stoically.
"Which one sir?"
"Momo, miss".
"Let me check with Mr. Yaoyorozu if he is expecting you", she said appreciating being called miss.
"Take your time miss", he said maintaining stoicism.
The girl on the other end did a girly giggle at being given such respect and how he seemed so suave. Kagura waited about one minute before she came back on the line. She then said very cheery:
"They will now see you Mr. Fujitora. Thank you for your patience".
"Of course. Have a good day miss".
"You too".
He then saw that he had to walk at least four hundred meters to get to the front. So, he opted to use his quirk and flew over to the door which he accomplished in seconds as opposed to minutes. He then rung the bell. The door then opened to reveal a big servant that said to him:
"Wow. That was fast. It takes our fastest guy to run to this door to the gate forty seconds and he was a former top fifty hero. You did that in eight seconds."
"What can I say sir? I'm very fast when I went to be".
"Hahaha! Come with me young sir. We will take you to Mr. Yaoyorozu's study. He's been eager to meet you".
They then walked through the lavish halls and up two stories until they made it to the third floor. They then walked down the halls until they made it to a smaller room that was still bigger than Kagura's own bedroom (which was about a good 80 square feet in area and 640 feet cubic feet in volume). Mr. Yaoyorozu stood drawing furiously at a tablet on his table and running diagnostics on Auto CAD. Kagura immediately saw a mop of curly red hair that was, grey eyes that reminded him of Momo on how they seemed to scream intelligence, but had no warmth in them. His ears were covered by his giant mop of curly hair, he had an angular face, freckles a wiry, but strong build, stood at six foot one, had a small nose and strong looking hands. The servant had knocked on the door a few times, but he didn't hear them. He immediately noticed where Momo got the hyper concentration from. Just then the servant cleared his throat and Mr. Yaoyorozu looked up surprised and said in a surprised tone:
"You scared me Shino!"
"My apologies Mr. Yaoyorozu. Mr. Fujitora has arrived", Shino said with professionalism.
"I expected you to be here in four minutes from now. You must walk fast".
"I wish I could walk fast Mr. Yaoyorozu. I didn't want to keep you waiting so I used my quirk to fly over here".
"Ah! That's right! You can fly through turning off your relationship with gravity and using electromagnetism to give yourself a boost. You have an interesting quirk indeed. Anyways, my name is Yaoyorozu Ichigo", he said extending out his hand.
"Fujitora Kagura", he said also extending out his hand and shaking hands with him. They both gave each other a firm handshake as if on a business meeting.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Kagura", he said kindly and with a smile.
"The pleasure is all mine Mr. Yaoyorozu".
"So, I will bring you down to see my daughter after and take you to meet my wife, eldest daughter and my son after I have you answer some questions. As with any boy who is befriending my daughters, I like to do some tests to see if they are… safe to be around them. So, let us begin".
He then asked questions about Kagura's schedule, his home life, grades, school life, quirk, and family history of quirks and diseases he may have. He seemed impressed with the young boy, but then his face got really serious as he asked him:
"Now I'm going to ask you some questions on your biological family. As through my researched I found that after their death, you had killed several people, am I correct?"
"Yes sir", he answered stoically.
"Why did you kill them?" he asked with seriousness.
He then explained how he was a late bloomer to getting his quirk and how is quirk awoke as a direct result to anger and rage from losing both parents by a man who can steal quirks.
"I want touch on your biological parents too much, because I know how sad it must make you to speak of them. But I have to ask, do you regret killing those men?" he asked with a cold serious look on his face.
Kagura had looked down in thought. He really wanted to say no, but he knew that would blow the operation. He could say yes, but he could probably see that he's lying. So he went for a genuine answer that surprised them.
"I did feel regret, but the regret isn't directed towards them in particular".
"What do you mean?"
"I don't regret killing them, but I regret losing control over myself. And ultimately, I regret stooping so low that I feel that I had dishonored my parents by killing those men. I regret shaming my parents by losing control like that", he said honestly.
Ichigo looked at him with interest and at first his eyes had an analytical look to them, but he smiled and said:
"Thank you, Kagura. For being honest with me. I was very worried and scared when I saw that report. But I'm glad I didn't go with my initial instinct to ban my daughter from seeing you. Now why did you choose to become a hero? What's your ambition and drive to be a hero? What do you hope to accomplish by being a hero?"
This stumped Kagura even though he was expecting it, but he improvised a bit and instead answered like he would if he was answering All Might on why he's a villain. He then said with determination:
"I want to make the world a better place. I have seen and met so many people that have suffered at the hands of evil. And every day I'm haunted by the lost souls and screams of people that were killed in my neighborhood by The Demon Brothers. I want…" he said as he thought to himself while Ichigo looked captivated and hooked on his words.
"I want a child to grow up with both parents. I want to put criminals in jail for their crimes against humanity. I want to live and raise my children in a land truly free of monsters and evil. I want a lot of things, but the main thing I want is to stop all the suffering at the root cause of turning people towards villains".
"And what do you think is the root cause of villainy, Kagura", he asked completely hooked.
"Greed with the amount of power that they have and how they become so easily blinded by that very same power that Kami has given them to do bad things, hurt people and ultimately create suffering, pain and more villains from it", he said with a cold impersonal tone.
Ichigo smiled brilliantly and said: "that is a beautiful dream, that I would love to see happen one day. Now then, let's play some challenging games and see how smart you are. Then you can meet my wife and two other children".
They then proceeded to play several challenging games. The first was chess which Kagura won one game and Ichigo won two games. Then connect four in which Kagura won twice in a row while Ichigo won once. Then the victor was Chinese checkers which Kagura didn't even know how to play and was beaten completely three times in a row, but almost managed a win in the last round. They shook hands and Kagura said:
"You are quite a genius Mr. Yaoyorozu".
"Thank you, but give your self some credit. No one has given me a challenge like that in a while. Come, let's have you meet the rest of the family".
They walked down to the living room on the first floor and Kagura saw Momo in a nice long grey dress that showed off her side laterals, but covered her trapezius. She was also in heels and had her hair up in a usual spiky ponytail. The mother looked gorgeous and he could see her and Momo looked exactly alike, but she had black eyes and stood at five foot six wearing a form fitting black dress. Then the son looked to be about sixteen and had a curly mop of black hair, black eyes, freckles like his father and had pretty much had the spitting of his father, but shorter standing at five foot ten and more muscular than him. He wore a dark grey suit with a white buttoned-down shirt and a black bowtie. The sister looked to be the oldest and was well rounded mixture of both her father and mother. She had her father's red hair, but her looks were more mixed and her hair is straight, but not styled like her mother and sisters were. Her eyes were black like her mother's but she seemed more beautiful in a foreign way. You couldn't even tell she was Japanese if not for the black eyes and very straight hair. She stood at six foot even and had on a lovely red dress that showed off her bust upper back. The mother was the first to speak and she said in a smooth, deep silky tone:
"Well Momo-chan, you sure know how to pick them. He's a quite the intellect, much like you and your father are. But he's athletic like your uncle and even possesses the same mystery and sharpness your grandfather has. I'm impressed".
"He sure is a cute one. I'm honestly a bit jealous. I would have loved to feel those lean muscles of his and even see them when he's in his briefs", the redhead had said sensually to him and with a seductive smirk which made Kagura sweat a bit because he wasn't used to someone so direct with him.
"He seems talented. That's definite. Especially since he's number nine to have made it this far past tou-san", said the boy in a merry tone.
"Oi! It's higher than that Minato-teme!" said the redhead fury.
"That's not including you and the number of boys you pick up, Mayuri", said Minato still in a merry, but also cheeky tone.
"Kids. Try not to have your quarrel in front of Momo's guest. It's a pleasure to meet you Kagura. I'm Kurona", she said taking his hand and shaking it in a business-like manner.
"I'm Minato. The second oldest of the Yaoyorozu kids", he said flashing him a smile similar to his father's smile and shaking his hand with vigor.
"And I'm Mayuri, the oldest of us three. I've heard a lot about you, Kagura-kun", she said sensually and with that same smirk she had on before which made Momo's chest constrict and make her feel a weird, but nasty kind of feeling surface inside her.
"Now that we all met, let's go to the restaurant!"
They all had then puddled out of the house and on to the car.
So… I know I've been a tad bit inconsistent so I'm going to leave a looser constraint on this story (which is what I should have done with the other two). I'll update FOR SURE, on Saturday and then Sunday might be where I give up a free second chapter. Rather than just update whenever, but I also have some news… I've already come up with an ending to the story. But the goods news is, there might be a sort of trilogy to this or second story where it's more updated contextualized with things like: chapter titles, better explanation of quirks, more teen rated, less angst, more action, less hurt and comfort and more drama and romance. Which I realize that this anime is more kind of based off K+ or rated T than my story which is more mature rated. Even though I've seen some stories where they say they are rated T, I would rate them as M for the amount of violence and depictions of gore they have and cursing. Some food for thought, you can let me know what you think of this and until next time guys!
