Kagura then received a call from an anonymous number in which he picked up. Then the voice said in a cryptic tone:
"Is your dog currently outside your house?" asked the voice which meant in code: "is the family leaving?".
"Yes. I forgot to take him inside", replied Kagura stoically which meant "operation is a go".
"We will take the dog inside your house now (we go in as soon as the car leaves the driveway)".
"Careful he bites (they have former pro heroes guarding the house)".
"Thanks for letting us know, but we'll be just fine (thanks for telling us, but we are well equipped and well prepared)".
"Very well. Don't hurt him (Good. Try not to leave a mess)".
"Will do".
Kagura then hung up the phone. The family had looked at him and he said a bit sheepishly:
"That was my neighbor. He noticed my dog was outside and he wanted to take it in".
"Oh! Anyways…"
The family of five had then talked Kagura's ear off and he found out a lot about them. He found out that Mayuri is in her second year at Kamui University studying law and business. She had her mother's quirk which is to utilize fat cells in her body to create resources of her choosing. Minato went to a prestigious STEM school and was studying for a double major in mechanical and electrical engineering. He had his father's quirk which could allow him to hyper concentrate and create a highly detailed sketch of the device he thought about. Kurona is a CEO of the pharmaceutical company that made the drug and Ichigo is a high-profile inventor, engineer, and scientist that created various security devices, robots, support gear for heroes, cars, chemicals and much more. He basically described himself as renaissance man of engineering and science.
The group of six then arrived at a restaurant that served an array of Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai and Asian cuisine in general. It was basically an all you can eat buffet that had only Asian cuisine and costed tens of thousands of yen per person. Kagura just had an array of soups with some sushi, lobster, crab, octopus and eel. He then had a miso and udon noodle soup with him as well as mixed vegetables. He then saw all the Yaoyorozu women had giant plates of fatting foods. This included pork, macaroni and cheese, burgers, pizza, all the foods with the highest fat and protein content around. Mayuri saw the look he was giving their plates and Kurona said:
"I force myself and my girls to eat high fat, high protein and low carb. This would cause them to stay thin overall, but have a high fat content".
"The Atkins diet it's called, right?" asked Kagura.
"Yes. Have you tried that diet before?" Kurona asked.
"Yeah… it works for my dad. But I prefer to eat flexitarian with more of a pescatarian and vegan influence in it as well".
"Huh. That's a unique diet. Were you raised to eat that way?" asked Momo.
"No. I was raised to eat the paleo diet. But I didn't like the way it made me feel. I feel much better off of relying on more carbs and leaner proteins like fish than red meat or even poultry".
"What inspired you to eat that way Kagura-kun?" asked Mayuri interested on the subject.
"I guess it would have to be that I love seafood and my sister had inspired me to eat mostly vegan aside from the amount of fish I eat".
"You have a sister?" asked Momo intrigued.
"Yes. She's a vegan and she didn't approve of the whole severe caloric reduction in most model's diet. So, she eats clean vegan to keep the weight off".
"Wow! She's a model!? I've always wanted to model, but both my parents say that's a waste of my talent. I should have expected nothing more of your sister, being how handsome you are", said Mayuri with a seductive smirk.
"My sister and I aren't related to each other by blood", he said stoically.
"Really?" asked Minato surprised.
"Yes. In fact-
Kagura then saw a guy pull out a gun and aim it at Ichigo's head. So Kagura motioned his hand toward him and pulled the man's gun out of his hand and the man as well. He then flipped the man over onto the floor and just then men had surrounded them and pointed guns at them. The other bystanders looked at the scene and walked out of the restaurant calmly as to not avoid getting shot. The man on the floor then put a device on him that had deactivated his quirk on his ankle and a man in a red mask came up to him. The man then said:
"Young man. I am going to present you an opportunity to make some money and get out of this alive".
"I don't care about money. I don't work with criminals", he said defiantly.
"Well you should boy. I want you to either shoot each and every one of the Yaoyorozu family members. If you don't comply, then we will shoot you-
"Why don't I just-
"Or. You can blow your brains out in front of this whole family, and we leave them alone. We know all about you Kagura Fujitora. On how you could manipulate the four natural forces of the universe. You will be a danger to us villains if we let you live and besides. The Demon Brother's will be happy to know that the kid that killed one of their platoons is dead", he said ominously.
"And what about option three-
"You could try to fight us, but you are only a high school boy, while we are grown men with military experience and pro villains. And if you try to shoot us, the bullets will just go straight to you. As those bullets are special homing bullets that will either hit you or the Yaoyorozu family".
He then took out a special .44 magnum that was specifically designed to cause major damage to someone. He then cocked the gun and held it in his hands. The Yaoyorozu's looked at him in fear and the man in the red mask looked at him and said:
"Now then which do you-
BAM!
Kagura had took the gun to his temple and pulled the trigger. The gun instead fired a rubber bullet that turned into putty on impact. The putty was attached to the side of his head and just fell off of him as he sat up. He then massaged his temple as Ichigo laughed a hearty laugh as the family then all glared at him. He then said joyously:
"Wow! You passed with an excellent one hundred and five out of one hundred and twenty! You are phenomenal Kagura! You passed just as high as Momo's childhood friend. Well done!"
"Tou-san! That was uncalled for!" said Momo in a rage.
"You seriously gave him one of the hardest tests that you could have made Ichi-kun?" asked Kurona surprised.
"I actually believed he was dead tou-san… I swear I'm not putting my future daughters' male friends or boyfriends through your methods of testing…" said Minato stupefied.
"Why did you have to put us all through such a traumatizing test tou-san!? I actually thought the cutest boy I ever saw had actually killed himself! Baka tou-san!" exclaimed Mayuri with passion.
"But this boy has passed the test! He's amazing. The average IQ needed to pass this test was about one hundred and seventy just get an average score. He's smarter than even Mayuri and Minato. He's still nowhere near my IQ level of two hundred and one but he should be around Kurona-chan's level of IQ of one hundred and eighty-five. Anyways-
He then clapped his hands and the people who ran away came back with party decorations and the men that held guns up to them before, brought out various cakes, alcohol, sodas, coffees, etc. Then Ichigo came up to Kagura, picked him up off the floor, shook his hand vigorously and said in a kind tone:
"Welcome to the family…"
Kagura had given him a sad smile, but he didn't see it. He instead turned to the audience and yelled:
"Let's celebrate in honor of my youngest daughter finding her second friend!"
The crowd cheered and immediately they raided the men with the cake and drinks and partied like it was nineteen ninety-nine. Kagura then looked down in shame and just thought sadly:
'I made my first friend and I'm totally accepted by her family… yet I stole from her family. I feel… terrible for some reason. What exactly are these new feelings of guilt, shame, regret and… warmth I feel whenever I do something villainous around this woman and even her family? I don't understand this and why does it hurt so much? I hate this…'
Momo looked at Kagura and noticed he got lost in thought. She came over to him and waved his hand in front of him. He looked up in surprise and sighed in relief. She then said:
"Are you alright? You're oddly quiet for someone who just received a high honor and praise from my father".
He smiled sadly and said half lying, half telling the truth: "it just feels weird to finally have made a friend is all".
She stared at him and thought: 'you are an enigma Kagura Fujitora… but it draws me to you more than you think…'
"Come on kids! You two should celebrate! Have a coffee or a soda!" yelled Ichigo from across the room.
Kagura gave off a kind smile that showed his teeth and said: "he's right. Let's enjoy our new friendship".
He then grabbed a cup of mocha with an espresso mixed in and said: "to new beginnings…"
Momo smiled at him and grabbed a soda and they clanked glasses and celebrated the night away.
A few hours later
The group of six arrived back home at around ten in the night. Ichigo who was surprisingly sober asked Kagura:
"Do you want to be dropped off Kagura?"
"No. My father wanted to come himself. I'll call him now", he said tiredly.
He called his father and Dr. Fujitora picked up the phone and said:
"All set to go home?"
"Yeah. When will you be here by?"
"A few minutes. I was over by the coffee shop across the street waiting for you to be finished".
"Okay. See you soon".
He hung up the phone. He then turned towards Ichigo and said:
"He should be on his way over Mr.-
"Ichigo, and no honorifics either. Call me Ichigo, Kagura. You earned the right to call me that".
"Sure… Ichigo", he said with a smile.
"Sir, Mr. Fujitora is here for his son", said a servant.
"Let his car come in so they don't walk in the cold".
Then in five minutes, in comes in Dr. Fujitora who had a grand ole smile on his face. Ichigo then walked over to Dr. Fujitora and said with a big welcoming smile:
"Kagura's father I presume?"
"Yes. I am Dr. Ken Fujitora", he said as he extended his hand.
"I am Ichigo Yaoyorozu and the one furthest to my right is my wife Kurona, the young woman with the red hair is my eldest Mayuri, then the one to my left is Minato and the one nearest your son is Momo", Ichigo said as the two men smiled and shook hands.
Dr. Fujitora then looked towards Momo immediately and he smiled even bigger than before. He then walked towards Momo and he rose his hand out to her and said:
"So, you're my son's friend he spoke so much about. I've heard so many good things about you Momo. It's a pleasure to finally meet you Momo", he said warmly.
"Why thank you Dr. Fujitora!" she said blushing at the praise and shaking his hand.
"So, your Kagura's father? You don't really look like him", stated Mayuri.
"That's because I took Kagura in when his parents had died. But I'm the third person in the world to have known the boy since he was a baby and I've raised him since he was seven years old", he said proudly and with a sad smile on his face.
Mayuri had instantly regretted what she said while the rest of the family looked surprised and then sad. Momo especially had looked the saddest of them all. Mayuri then smiled and said as she walked over to him:
"Well it was a pleasure to have him! He's really such a cutie! He just as such a kissable face!"
She then cupped his face and said:
"I just might leave him a kiss if that's okay with you Dr. Fujitora".
"By all means", he said happily.
Dr. Fujitora normally would have been uncomfortable with his son being kissed by such a promiscuous and histrionic character, but he really wanted to see the extent Kagura had on Momo as he thought Kagura could definitely lead her down a path of villainy if were to just push the right buttons. He looked at Momo and he could clearly see blatant jealousy in her vastly intelligent eyes. He then smiled internally as he read her body language and completely came to the realization that she was already pretty much into him. He then thought:
'YES! I can now possibly get us another spy! I just have to use that jealousy against her and corrupt it enough to lead her to obsessing over Kagura, then using it to lead her down our path!'
Mayuri puckered up and closed her eyes as she came close to Kagura's cheek. Kagura was meanwhile completely uncomfortable with this transpiring. Momo then opened her mouth to scream at her sister but instead-
"OI! Get the hell from my brother now!" yelled a familiar voice.
Aoi then came in showing off an incredible stomach, a bandaged chest, a long white coat with her slim forearms and hands bandaged and a for show katana. She then glared fiercely at the woman about to kiss her brother. Mayuri looked at her glared at her and said:
"Party pooper. No cake for you".
"Just back off my brother you skank! Aren't you a little old to be kissing fourteen-year-old boys?" she said passive aggressively.
"Aren't you acting a little bit overprotective over your brother? He's not a kid anymore! He can make his own decisions", she said fiercely.
"He's uncomfortable around you and was uncomfortable with you putting your old lips on him", she said with even more heat in her tone.
"I'm not that old you bitch! I'm literally four years older than him! What are you in love with him or something!?" Mayuri said losing her cool.
Aoi then rushed in and so did Mayuri and they both engaged each other; Mayuri threw wild out of control hits while Aoi nearly hit her hard in the stomach. Kagura and Dr. Fujitora grabbed Aoi while Ichigo and Minato grabbed Mayuri and then the servants got in between the three of them as the four men back their respective female family member away from the other. Aoi then stood down as Kagura whispered to her irritated:
"Not here imouto! Not in front of my friend and her family".
"Onii-sama! That bitch was-
"I'm fine Aoi. It just caught me off guard. It was Dr. Fujitora's fault for enticing her".
"Yeah… sorry Aoi-chan", the old doctor said sheepishly.
"You so owe the both of us for putting us in this situation you old bastard!" whispered Aoi fiercely.
"I'll make it up to the both of you when we get in the car", he said apologetically.
While this was happening Mayuri was screaming profanities at Aoi while Minato and Ichigo were trying desperately to calm her down. Finally, Kurona shouted:
"Enough Mayuri! It's your fault for trying to kiss Momo's friend! For Kami's sake, the boy is fourteen for crying out loud and was totally uncomfortable with your stunt! Now calm yourself down this instant or you can forget getting rides to classes and that new Porsche I was going to buy you for your nineteenth birthday!"
Mayuri then relaxed and just walked off upstairs. Kurona then shook all the rage off of her and smiled apologetically like a bipolar woman and said:
"I apologize sweetheart. My eldest can't really control herself around cute boys. I used to be a lot like that when I was her age, but she is her mother's daughter".
"No need for apologies Mrs. Yaoyorozu. I should not have enticed her to kiss my son. Especially with my daughter so close by. She's extremely protective over her brother. So much so that she has cut off close friendships with anyone merely badmouthing him, having feelings for him and even just merely criticizing him on simple mistakes. She loves him very much".
"Tou-sama! I don't appreciate you telling the whole world how about me and onii-sama!" she yelled.
"And it's her time of the month too", he said scared.
"We actually have some non-milk chocolate for your daughter Dr. Fujitora", said Momo shyly.
"How do you know I'm vegan?" she asked completely hostile.
"Your brother told me", she said intimidated by the blue-eyed beauty.
Aoi then softened a bit and asked: "wait you're Momo right?"
"Yes", she said shyly.
"You're pretty and you seem smart. Onii-sama was always drawn to pretty smart girls", she said in a recollective tone.
Momo blushed and asked: "what's your name?"
"Aoi".
"Nice to meet Aoi-san. I'll get you the chocolate. Do you prefer almond milk chocolate or soy?"
"Almond milk please. Call me just Aoi. I like you, so you don't have to be so formal with me", she said in an aloof but kind tone.
"Thank you, Aoi", she said with a smile.
She went up and got her almond milk chocolate. Aoi then ate the bar of chocolate and felt much better afterwards. She then warmed up to the rest of the family. She could tell Minato had the hots for her with how much he wanted to talk her ear off about his inventions. She was interested in his theories and like the intellectual she was, asked how they worked and wanted to know about them. The Fujitora's then left the Yaoyorozu household with Aoi and Momo becoming friends and exchanging numbers along with Kagura. Who officially got the Yaoyorozu household number, Ichigo's number, Kurona's number and of course Momo's.
Minato wanted Aoi to have his number, but he knew his mother had to test her as it's tradition in the Yaoyorozu household. The father has to test the males befriending his daughter and the mother has to test the females befriending her son. If for some reason, the child is gay, then the same sex parent has to test the same sex. Which the Yaoyorozu's never had to do because all their children are straight.
Kagura and his family got in the car and they drove off with it being eleven o'clock at night. Dr. Fujitora then said:
"Well done both of you! Kagura for managing to distract them long enough for us to get the plans and even samples of the drugs which is a definite plus! Then you Aoi, for stealthily getting the samples before you were found out. So… what do I owe both of you for doing this?"
"You owe me an Alaskan malamute and a husky", said Kagura in a stoic cold as ice tone.
"I want three cats. One will be a Maine coon, the other an exotic shorthair and a Burmese", Aoi stated also coldly.
"I thought I told you two, I don't do pets. I have lived through the nine generations of One for All being passed down, fought many of the most righteous heroes, most evil of villains, assassinated the greatest of heroes, but I can't stand hairy animals. If you got reptiles, birds or arachnids however…"
"No. We tried to live through your years of getting crazy exotic animals Dr. Fujitora", said Kagura coldly.
"We want normal family household pets. Especially since we have to fit in with society and since we're both going to have friends over now. Did you forget that about our no friends over policy that expired just as we both graduated middle school?" asked Aoi coldly.
"Crap! You kids got me there. I'm still not allowing those pets over".
"Do you also remember the three fourths agreement we came up?" asked Kagura even colder.
"Yes, I remember it. What about it?" asked Dr. Fujitora irritated.
"Well it states that each of us are to cast one vote which would count as one eighth and we need six eighths to pass a motion. The two of us count as an eighth, you count as two, All for One counts as three eighths and a fifth party that we all agree to that cycles around which is either Kurogiri, Esdeath, Tomura Shigaraki or Kazuto. Well we discussed it with the chosen one for this motion which was Kurogiri, do you remember?"
"Yes", said Dr. Fujitora annoyed.
"Then we talked with All for One, and we both got their blessings on not only having pets, but the specific type of pet as long as we all agree to choose three pets each of either dogs, cats or any other chosen pet that we considered normal for a typical household. They are dogs, cats, guinea pigs, ferrets, hamsters, rabbits, gerbils, domestic mice and rats, any kind of pet fish and we even included a fox, pet eels and raccoons in case you wanted an exotic animal. So…"
"I'm still putting my foot down," he said wavering but losing footing and confidence.
"You made me miss a photoshoot that would have guaranteed me a scholarship, sponsor and someone to help pay for my college tuition should I choose a normal life!" said Aoi losing her cool at the old doctor.
"You made me steal from one of my first friends and made me feel like shit afterwards. And besides… they already think we have pets, so we HAVE to get a dog at least", said Kagura stoically.
Dr. Fujitora then roughly pulled over the car and just let his head fall on the steering wheel. He then said in a defeated tone:
"Fine… we'll get three pets for the three of us. What do you two want?"
"Two dogs, one Alaskan malamute and a husky and a Siberian cat", said Kagura.
"You Aoi?" he asked defeated.
"A Burmese cat, a Maine coon and an Australian shepherd. What do you want tou-sama?"
"Can I pick just one animal?" he asked defeated.
"Nope", said Kagura.
"You have to pick three, but we both decided to take all the dogs and cats for you".
"It's fine. I like German or Belgian shepherds actually and always wanted one again. The only dogs I can stand".
"Good. We still have a guard dog", said Aoi.
"Then I'll take a fish of some kind and for kicks a fox".
"You're allowed to have a group of fish up to twenty fish since there's a deal on fish. Then if you want big fish, it would be four bi fish then really big fish would account for two, but they have to be able to not bear children or be of different species", said Kagura.
"Got it. Let's go home. I assume you kids decided on the pet store you want to go to?" he croaked in an exasperated defeat.
"Yes. Pet city in Ginza. They have shelters of rare dogs, a variety of animals and all of the animals bred are treated right and are decently well tempered".
"Tomorrow in the morning I'm guessing?" he asked.
The two teens both nodded.
"Tomorrow morning it is… we're only a few blocks away, so hang tight".
They arrived home, they all then got to bed and passed out in their homes. Dr. Fujitora laid in bed and thought to himself:
'What the hell did I get myself into adopting thee brats…? I've become so close to them, I'm practically bossed around by them. And I strangely feel bad for hurting these two. I haven't felt bad for anyone since I killed the number one pro hero back before All for One's villain take over. But that was only because he was the last of my blood family and my great-great grandson. Not only that, he had the spitting image of my wife and my father's personality… god I miss them. Did these kids seriously grow on me so much that they have entered the role of importance as my father, wife and great-great-grandson once played. I don't know anymore… I just hope I can kill them if they betray me or All for One for that matter'.
He then closed his eyes. But not before hearing a faint whisper say to him:
"You can never kill them jiji-chan… they are the last things connecting you to sanity".
With that, he passed out and proceeded to be haunted yet again of the various lives he's lived and all the countless horrors he's committed.
I hope you guys are liking the subtle hints of back story into the old doctor. I haven't really described his quirk, but the hints are pretty obvious, however it's not the quirk you guys are typically thinking about. Anyways, until next time guys!
