Toshinori didn't think that he could feel this angry. Sure, he was when he saw this monster attack and kill his family in cold blood. But now, he was pissed. First this woman, who had annoyed him for years just to be his bride, only to find out that she was the reason for the deaths of his family. Then of course she has the gull to kidnap his Inko. There is no way that he will ever forgive her.
This woman, was going to die today. By his sword, the sword that was left of his father.
"Oh Toshinori, you came for me!" Kira said with a big smile on her face. Her eyes all but sparkling but deep down, Toshinori knew that this was an act. That this was nothing more than a front that she put up to make people think that she was indeed a good person but really, she was evil reborn.
When Tenko had brought up that his parents had worked here, had been the slaves to the princess along with her father. It made him sick to his stomach. As he also learned that Tenko, was the grandson of his master Nana. That Nana had managed to stop the great evil that the holders of One For All had been destined to do.
Now, here he was. Facing off against the daughter of that monster.
Narrowing his blue eyes, he snarled at the raven haired woman and stepped forward as he stood in front of Inko. "You took my Inko, I won't forgive you for that and everything else that you have done!" Toshinori shouted.
"Oh but Toshinori, all that I've done I've done for us!" Kira said with a pout on her face.
Toshinori felt his eyebrow twitch as he glared at her. All that she had done? She claimed that it was for them? Did she really have such delusions that she claimed that he would still marry her even after that she had done to him? To everyone around her? There was never going to be a them, not ever.
Looking over at Inko from the corner of his eye, the man saw that she was trembling. Inko must have been running for her life with how heavily she is breathing. He reached over and gently patted her hand, hoping to comfort her. Inko looked up at him, tears in her eyes as she gazed up at the blonde king. He knew that he had to hurry, that he had to finish this off while he had a chance to do so.
"Inko, stay with Izuku." Toshinori calmly said before walking forward as he looked at Kira. The raven haired woman couldn't help but tilt her head at the blonde king as she wondered what it was that he was going to do. "Kira, I'm going to stop your reign of terror once and for all. For all the crimes that you have done against the royal family and the future bride to the Emotionless King." Toshinori snarled.
"You aren't really emotionless now are you? You sure are showing a lot of rage." Kira said with a tilt of her head once again. Giving him an innocent look on her beautiful face.
"Because I don't have a reason to hide my feelings anymore. Something that Inko had taught me, no matter what comes my way. No matter what tries to get to those I love and care for… I have enough faith in myself and those I care about… to keep them safe, and that they will fight to keep themselves safe." Turning back to Inko, he couldn't help but smile at her gently before narrowing his blue eyes back to the woman in front of him.
If one were to look into the blonde's eyes, they would see a storm brewing within their depths. He had never allowed himself to feel this angry before and honestly, he didn't give a damn. This woman had ruined every moment of his life thus far. If he had never met her, never knew her then his family would have still been alive. Though he wasn't sure if he would still know Inko in the first place.
"But Toshinori, would you still attack a woman even knowing what she had done?" asked Kira with an innocent look on her face.
A look, that only made Toshinori bristle at the sight. Gritting his teeth as he let out a scream before rushing forward. Sword in hand as he went to attack her. Yet, what he had seen made him stare in shock as she made her arm turn into a blade and blocked his strike. "Oh, I guess that answers my question. I am so thankful that I had loaded myself up with quirks before this." She let out a dramatic sigh as she gazed at Toshinori with a frown on her face. "I had hoped that, you would have ruled by my side but… I guess that won't happen. I'll have to make do though and try to take control over you instead!" She giggled at the thought.
The blonde king couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He wouldn't allow that to happen. He would have to fight with everything that he could muster. The power that he could form with the blade within his hand. He had hoped that he would be able to give a quick and clean death, though that seemed out of the question as she seemed rather impossible to get near enough to do such a thing if she has different kinds of quirks.
"So it was you kidnapping everyone. What did you do to them?" asked Toshinori.
"Oh, I took their quirks and threw them out of course. They were of no more use to me once they were mindless." She said with a giggle before giving Toshinori a twisted smile. He knew that would have been his answer, though it didn't mean that he was going to like it any more than had she tried to lie.
This woman had no heart, it was as if where a heart should be was nothing more than a black abyss of nothingness. How was it that this woman could be like this? That she could be this cruel? Shaking his head, the young man knew that he had to hurry and take her down. He had to make sure that she never hurt another person ever again. There was no way that he would allow this to continue as it had.
He would have to do the one thing that he never saw himself ever doing before. Toshinori knew that he would have to kill a woman. Tightly shutting his eyes, the young man had known that killing was one thing that he had to come to terms with. After all, he had killed a man while protecting Inko and Tenko from that villain. But to have to kill another, it had felt like it chipped at his soul each time he had to do such a thing.
But, he could at least do one thing merciful. He could give her a swift and painless death. Not wanting to be the one thing that he hated more than anything in the world.
A monster.
Narrowing his eyes, the young man jumped back as he held his sword tightly in his hands as he snarled at the woman before him. "Princess Kira, for your crimes against the Yagi Royal Family, you are sentenced to death by my hands!" Toshinori declared.
Kira just blinked her blue eyes innocently before giggling like crazy, only for that to turn into dark laughter. "Really?! You think you can kill me?! I won't allow myself to die. I have a world to take over, and nothing you do will change that." Kira said with a crazed smile on her face as she rushed at Toshinori. Her arm still sharp as a blade as she rushed toward the blonde.
Toshinori stared with wide eyes before he managed to block the strike with his sword. He knew that he would have to think clearly. Knowing that if he got himself hurt there was no telling what could happen. This woman could have laced her blade with the toxin that would have badly weakened Inko should it have hit her at that point of time.
Acting quickly, he kicked at Kira, sending her flying. Only to watch as the woman all seemed to levitate in the air as she gave Toshinori a twisted smile. "Oh Toshinori, you couldn't stop me even if you had the power to. You are too good of heart, too pure to want to really kill me." She said with a giggle.
Toshinori snarled, gritting his teeth as he glared at the raven haired woman. "No. I will kill you. It is my duty, as the king of the Yagi household. No matter what, you will be taken down. I won't allow you to keep living as you do, you will die here by my hands." Toshinori snapped before rushing forward and went to slash at her. He pushed all of his power into his legs as he jumped into the air, slashing at Kira in the hopes of landing a hit. Any kind of a hit really.
Kira tried to block but hadn't expected the blonde to jump up into the air it seemed. For the moment that Toshinori swung his sword at her, he managed to hit her shoulder. Yet, he hadn't been able to get another hit in as the woman faded into the shadows. Hiding herself, most likely trying to find a means of jumping out to attack him.
Narrowing his eyes, Toshinori tried to find a source, to find any kind of indication that she would jump out to attack him. He would have to think of a way to kill her before she could go and attack Izuku and Inko. Turning his gaze to them for a moment, he saw that Izuku was keeping an eye out, hoping to keep his mother safe. That was something that he could be proud of at the very least.
Not that Izuku hadn't made him proud already and he wasn't even born yet in this time.
Before he could even speak though, Kira jumped out of the shadows, slashing at Toshinori's arm, causing him to gasp out in pain as he looked over just as she disappeared in the shadows again. "Come out you coward!" shouted the blonde.
He got no answer from her. IT seemed that she was going to make sure that he kept guessing where she was going to shoot out of next. Snarling a little, the young man tried to find some way to get the element of surprise on his side. Or at the very least to refuse it. Yet, it just seemed that no matter what he did, nothing would come to him.
Before Toshinori could even react, he felt pain in his right side, causing him to hiss sharply through clenched teeth. Damn it! He tried to swipe at the woman with his sword, but it seemed that it wasn't meant to be as she merely hid back into the shadows. Damn it, he had to keep trying. Had to keep trying to get a hit, he had to at least try!
Taking a deep breath, the young man knew that he had to think clearly. Had to open his mind to allow himself to sense when she would strike. To when she would attack him then he could give the finishing blow. At least, he hoped that it would be a finishing blow.
Inhaling through his nose, and exhaling through his mouth, closing his eyes, the young man opened his other senses. Hoping and praying that he would be able to make any kind of a hit. He just had to focus, using his other senses, just like how he was taught. Such as how he had trained everyone to do, to trust in their own instincts, to trust in their own beliefs and desires when it came to fighting.
This time, he was going to listen to it, and make sure that he brought that desire to the surface. To protect his family, to protect the woman he loved, to protect his kingdom and everyone from this woman. He would make sure that no one ever got hurt because of this woman. Even Izuku, would have a happy future when the time came.
He could faintly hear a rustling behind him. Could faintly smell the expensive perfume hitting his nose as she seemed to be getting closer. He could almost hear herself emerging from the shadow, he knew then that she was coming out to attack him. Eyes snapping open, Toshinori spun himself around and slammed the flat side of the sword into Kira as she jumped out at him.
Letting out a gasp, Kira stared at the blonde man as she went flying in the air. This was the moment of truth, the moment that he had been waiting for. He would finish her off! He'll kill her and keep his future, the future of everyone safe from this horrid woman!
While she was in the air, Toshinori jumped after her. Dust exploding behind him as he rushed forward. He went to slash at Kira, managing to cut through her dress sleeve as he cut her arm. Not enough to cut it off, but enough so that blood seeped from the wound.
"How dare you!" Kira shouted at the blonde as she went to strike. Toshinori managed to dodge before throwing a fist at her. He wouldn't allow anyone to hurt him, wouldn't allow himself to stop. He would keep living, keep fighting until he could fight and stop this incarnation of evil. "You will never stop me Toshinori!"
"I will! I will make sure that you never harm anyone ever again!" Toshinori shouted as he swung his sword at her, slashing at her leg. Causing her to scream out in pain. He knew that that sound chipped at his soul, but then his body remembered that he was only doing this as a means to stop a great evil. That he was doing this for a reason. He had to keep fighting, had to keep going in order to protect not only his family, but everyone.
All the people in the world were depending on him, even if they didn't know it. He didn't care, this had to be done. Had to be stopped! He had to keep going and stop her at every possible turn!
Kira snarled at Toshinori as she thrust her hand out and went to shoot out flames from her hand. Toshinori though, wouldn't allow it as he swung his sword once again, slicing her palm. The princess cried out in pain as she held onto her hand. Snarling at the blonde king, she threatened to kill everyone, it seemed that she was done playing the 'innocent' princess card. There was no way that he would let her go now it seemed.
She was far too gone in her own darkness at this point.
Which of course made it so much easier for him to take her down now. Rushing forward, Toshinori went to stab her, in the hopes that he could just finish her off in a single blow. Yet, Kira seemed to have seen that coming as she threw up a wall of ice around herself. Toshinori snarled as he threw a fist, smashing the ice in a single punch. Kira screamed out in shock as she tried to get away.
"Please don't kill me Toshinori! I'm sorry! Please, spare me!" shouted Kira, which seemed to have only set Toshinori off in his hate.
"Spare you? Did you spare my parents?" Toshinori snarled out at her. Her eyes were wide as she looked at the man, seeing that this was no longer the same person that she had tried to get to love her all these years. This was a man consumed by rage and hate. "Did you allow them to live as they begged and pleaded for their lives?!"
Kira couldn't say a word it seemed as Toshinori just narrowed his blue eyes at her. Eyes, that once just held electricity within their depths held nothing but a storm that was never going to end. A storm that showed nothing but his desire to kill her in that instant. "You killed them, took their lives all for what? So I could marry you!? To take advantage of my own misery in the hopes that I would have taken you as my bride?!" Toshinori tightened his hold on his sword as he glared at the woman. Her body shook and trembled as she tried to fight off the ever consuming fear that was in her eyes.
"Please Toshinori, spare me." Kira pleaded, tears in her eyes. A part of him wanted to believe that, wanted to believe that she could change. Damn it all, he wanted to believe in that but at the same time he couldn't even do that. He knew that someone like her could never change. She had all that time to change but she never took that chance. Instead, she just decided to make other people suffer in the hopes that she would have won him over in the end.
"I don't have any reason to spare you. You have no heart, you have no soul left to spare with all the lives you had ruined. For trying to kill Inko, for trying to force myself to take you as my bride, for killing the last king, queen and the princess of the royal family!" Toshinori snarled, he raised his sword above his head in the hopes of giving her the final killing blow. There would be nothing that would stop him this time around.
"The blood of the innocent stains what is left of your soul, even now I can hear their cries as they plead for you to spare their lives but you have simply refused." Toshinori exclaimed before he went to slash at the woman with his sword. To give the finishing blow…
Only for her to sink into the shadows, or more like the shadows simply consumed her. Toshinori frowned a little at that. Normally Kira just disappeared into the shadows, not them consuming her like that. So, did that mean that she was dead? That she was finally gone? Frowning a little, the young man shook his head before he heard Inko calling out to him.
"Toshinori!"
The blonde king turned around and couldn't help but smile as he watched Inko rushing toward him. He couldn't help but feel joy as the woman of his heart rushed toward him. It almost felt as if their lives could finally be peaceful. Yet, there was a part of him that had found the whole thing to be rather… easy. That was far too easy for it to have been possible really. As if the whole ordeal was just another ploy but, he couldn't be sure of that.
Sighing softly, the young man made his way over toward Inko. Even though, she wasn't a princess by blood, she was his princess. The only woman that would hold his heart for him.
"Inko, I'm so glad that you're safe." Toshinori said with a big smile on his face.
"Dad, I think everything will be okay now." Izuku said with a smile, one that rivaled his father's.
"I sure hope so my boy." Toshinori said with a chuckle, he turned to look at Inko only to frown as he saw that her skin went pale. Turning his gaze to his future son, he saw the same expression. "What's wrong?" He asked with a frown. Not really sure why they would be looking at him like that.
"Toshi behind you!" shouted Inko.
Toshinori turned his head to get a good look at what was behind him. He felt the world slowdown in that instant. There, Kira floated in the air with her once blue eyes glowing a deep crimson as she stared at the man who she had once wanted him to make her his bride. Now, all he could see from her was hate, and malice.
"Time to die!" shouted Kira as her arm turned into a sword once again. She slammed her arm through Toshinori's chest, he gasped out in pain as he looked down and saw a blade sticking out from the left side of his body.
Blood dripped down his lips as he coughed up blood, and watched as the blood stained his clothes.
"Toshinori!" Inko shouted.
The blonde just looked up as he watched Inko rushing to him. He felt everything starting to leave him, his breath, and his sense of touch. Hell, Toshinori didn't even feel himself fall to his knees before falling over. Surrounded by a pool of his own crimson blood. The last thing he saw, was Inko flipping him over screaming out his name. His vision started to go dark, the last thing he saw and heard, was Inko's crying face as she sobbed out his name.
