["BEEP BEEP BEEP"] an alarm on a smart phone by Kiriyama's bed rang, waking up the raven-haired teen. He groaned as he turned off the alarm and rose from his bed. He slowly walked over to his bathroom. He looked at the mirror and quickly examined himself. There are bags under his dark brown eyes thanks to getting about three and half hours of sleep and the young man sighed. "Time to get ready for school"
Kiriyama put a spoonful of cereal in his mouth as he turns on the TV. He jumps up out of surprise because the TV is set to the max volume and quickly lowers the volume. Kiriyama changed to channel to the news to check up on potential targets or for news of his deeds from the night before.
["It's not surprising, but it seems like another vigilante has made the jump to become a villain"] A news anchor stated. This piqued Kiriyama's interest.
["The vigilante that was on the rise to infamy only known by the name given to him by witnesses and fans, 'Bloody Vigilante' called the police as he usually did after taking down 37 year old, Sagawa Junpei. The man was found with what looks like a bullet wound on his leg, which is considered normal for the vigilante to do to his victims. But this time, the body was found dead with the blood drained from his neck which contained a needle mark. 'Bloody Vigilante' is now being treated as a top priority criminal by the police and many Pro Heroes have already voiced their interest in apprehending the suspected murderer."]
"What the hell? What the hell!? WHAT THE HELL!?" Kiriyama eyes widened and dropped his spoon. He slams his fist down on the table, causing some of the milk and cereal in the bowl to spill. "What the fuck happened? Who killed him!? Everyone's gonna be searching for me now. I'm gonna have to quit my late night adventures for a while." Kiriyama stood up and started to pace around. He played with his bangs and realized something.
"Drained? The blood drained from his neck which had a needle mark?" Kiriyama remembered hearing something similar in the news about a week before. He took his phone out of his pocket and opened up an internet browser. He typed 'Blood-draining murders' into the search bar and pressed enter. I clicked on a news article which detailed three cases that all featured a body with its blood drained and multiple cuts and stab wounds from a box cutter. It's suspected that one person is doing all this and that the missing blood is related to this person's quirk somehow.
"If I believe what this article says, then this person with a quirk that requires other people's blood was most likely the one who killed my target. The murderer uses a box cutter and the wounds suggest that the murderer was very skilled and familiar with the weapon. They kill at night and in the dangerous parts of the town..."
Kiriyama ruffles his hair and sits down, "No way I'm going to school today..."
It's late at night, a tall, stocky man with dirty blond hair, wearing a stained white t-shirt and khaki shorts walked past a nightclub and is stopped by someone.
"No way, 'Pufferfish'? You're alive?" asked the raspy voice. The blond turns around and finds a short bespectacled man in a suit with curly, brown hair and ram horns coming out from the top of his head.
"Of course I'm alive" answered 'Pufferfish'.
"Shit... On the news I thought you got killed by the 'Bloody Vigilante'!"
"Well, the news was wrong. Take a look at me"
The horned man took off his gold-framed glasses and sighed,
"About the money, I'm gonna need another week to pay you back 'Pufferfish'. I thought you died and had a little party"
"You used the money you owed to throw a celebratory party for my death?"
"Nah nah nah! You're misunderstandin' me! I was... you know... grievin' your death! Yeah that's what it was!" panicked the curly haired man. The blond's thin lips curled into a smile and replied,
"Alright, follow me"
"Umm... I think I'll stay here"
"Follow me or I'm getting that guy to get you to follow me"
"Just joking, ha ha! No need to get Overhaul! I'll follow you, chill a little" the shorter man nervously replied.
Pufferfish started walking and the horned man nervously and cautiously followed him. They soon arrived at a quiet, dark alley way.
"W-what do ya want? I'll get the money I swear!" yelled the curly haired man. The blond smiled and reached into his pocket causing the horned man to step back. Then, to the man's horror, Pufferfish began to melt into a light colored, slime-like substance. And revealed a naked girl holding a box cutter
"W-what the fuck!?" said the man, paralyzed with fear and shock. The young blonde grinned and charged into the man who froze up, leading with the box cutter in her right hand. Before the girl's weapon touched the man, she was kicked away. She was sent to a trash can by the kick and could hear her target run away. She looked up and gave a big smile, showing her canines to a jet-black haired teen dressed all in black.
"Nice to finally speak to you, Bloody Vigilante-kun~!"
The black-haired young man scowled at the naked, young blonde on the ground.
"You're the bitch who killed off Pufferfish, right? I'm gonna drop you off at the station as a gift to the police after you tell me who you are"
"Call me Toga! Toga Himiko! Your scars are really cute~!" swooned the girl as she stood up. The boy blushed as he was given a better look at the girl's naked body.
"You're making me embarrassed if you stare like that" smiled Toga. She then lunged at the boy with the box cutter and he was caught off guard but evaded the attack by a hair, by turning his body sideways. The girl however quickly stopped herself and sweeped the boy's legs and his back hits the ground.
"You know, I missed on purpose cause I know a little bit about your blood controlling quirk. I'll be careful not to give you any shallow cuts to give you an opportunity to fight back. By the way, your quirk is really cool~!" said Toga as she got on top of the boy, placing her knees on his arms and the box cutter on his neck to make sure the he wouldn't try to escape. She moved her face closer to the teen and examined the boy's face which was blushing heavily.
"You're a lot younger and cuter now that I get a good look at you, Bloody Vigilante-kun... I bet you'd be even cuter bloody and beaten though~!"
"You're batshit crazy." said the boy. He returns the girl's stare with a scowl before realizing she's on top of him. Naked. A cute girl his age was on top of him without her clothes on. This made him blush and avert his eyes, after all he was still a teenage boy who had yet to get a girlfriend.
"What do you want with me?"
"First of all...I want your name, age, what year you're in, and what school you go to" said the blonde. The black-haired teen thought about it for a few seconds before replying with,
"...alright...My name is Kobayak-" Toga frowned and said,
"Liar liar... Tell me the truth please"
"Fine... Kiriyama Ken. 15 years old, third year at Kamino Middle School..." answered the young man. Toga smiled and placed left hand on her cheek as she blushed.
"We're the same age, we both have a quirk that uses blood and we're wanted by the police... Kyaaa~! It's like we're meant for each other, Kiriyama-kun~!" swooned Toga.
"M-meant for each other?" said a baffled Kiriyama, surprised at her response. Then, they heard multiple people's footsteps and both teens turned their heads to see the horned man from before with two other guys, one of which was holding a crowbar. The curly haired man was red with anger as he examined the scene of a naked Toga on top of a blushing Kiriyama.
"You goddamn brats are fooling around in an alley way after you tried to murder me? Y-y-you assholes are dead!" yelled the man. Toga quickly hopped off of Kiriyama and stood up in a defensive stance, getting ready to fight the thugs. Kiriyama followed up by pulling out a box cutter of his own and making a cut on his left wrist. He began to bleed quite a lot and solidified the blood into a red bat.
"Hey, don't kill them" said Kiriyama.
"That's no fun, Kiriyama-kun" replied Toga with a pouty look.
The men charged at the two teens. One of the men swung the crowbar at Kiriyama, which he dodged and swung his own weapon across the back of the man's head, knocking him out in one hit and sending the man into the brick wall. The other man was using his gigantic hands, which is most likely his quirk, to fight Toga. She skillfully evades each punch the thug threw, which impressed Kiriyama. She then kicks the attacker in the groin making him groan and fall to his knees. However, instead of slicing the man's throat like what Kiriyama thought she'd do, she performs a round house kick to the side of the thug's head. Kiriyama sees the curly haired man running to Toga, horns-first and the black-haired teen sticks his leg out causing the man to trip. As the man fell, Kiriyama grabbed him the horns and threw him into the wall. The curly haired attacker hit the wall with his shoulder and fell to the ground as he clutches it and yells out in pain. Kiriyama then hits the man in the head with the red bat,
"Shut your trap" he said. He then returned the bat to its liquid state and back into his own body. He turned around to find that Toga had disappeared and left behind a man face down with a pool of blood. "She didn't kill the guy when I wasn't looking, did she?" thought the raven-haired teen. Kiriyama turns the body around and notices that there aren't any fatal wounds inflicted on him and the pool of blood came from his mouth and nose after getting a roundhouse kick to his head.
"That nutjob listened to me?" thought Kiriyama.
Kiriyama was exhausted, the events of that night were still fresh in his mind and he was depressed over his situation. "Finding out who really killed Pufferfish doesn't change the fact that I'm on the top of the list for most wanted, not just by the heroes and police but the yakuza too. That girl...Toga Himiko was able to disguise herself as Pufferfish. That's probably what the blood was used for, and that horned guy was likely her next target until I interfered. There's a chance that she's targeting me now after all that." The teen yawned and checked the time on his phone. "3:37 a.m" it read. The boy groaned and decided to stop thinking about the previous events and rest. He shut his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
"It seems 'Bloody Vigilante' is now seen as a full on villain by everyone" a man made out of black mist said.
"So it seems..." replied a pale man with dry, cracked lips and messy, light blue hair.
"Does he seem like a good fit for the League?"
"I don't know...We'll have to check for ourselves..."
"Hopefully, we could add him to the team... It seems like he'd be very useful."
"Yeah... I think sensei would be pleased if we add a strong member to the League..."
