I have a Devilman Crybaby
book out. I'll start writing
for it soon after I'm done
with this book and the MHA
movies book I plan on doing.
Because I know many people
like to skip the authors notes
( Don't do that, I hate repeating
myself ), I plan on making a section
for the special chapters on here and
I plan on writing the MHA movies
in a different book so that it won't
interfere with the story.
By the way, the winner of the polls are
as follows:
Hero Name: Sub-Zero
Internship: Miruko
But I'm sure you all knew that already.
Either way, I will be deleting the poll
since I have my answer now. Thank you all
for voting.
Do not be a ghost reader. I shouldn't have
a greater amount of reads than votes and
followers. Make yourself known, I love you all
and I love reading reactions and such.
Happy Reading!
Dabi was a liar. That much was figured out the day he left his entire family behind. The day he left his siblings behind, his mother and his old dreams. He was no longer Touya Todoroki, a boy with hopes that he can make his abusive father proud. He was now a man with too much blood on his hands and too much evil in his heart.
He knew he wasn't always like this. This...monster.
He was someone's son, someone's older brother. He was Tomomi's older brother and only other happiness besides Shoto, Fuyumi, Natsuo and Rei. And for a while, he was her only reason to live on.
But the pain that stained his once pure heart was too much even for him to stay the way he was. So he had to kill Touya in order to be Dabi. And that's exactly what he did. And he didn't even look back.
Dabi knew someday their paths would cross. Especially since he was so hellbent on killing Enji Todoroki. He knew some day he would have to face his younger siblings. Perhaps all of them, perhaps only Shoto.
But he knew he would never be prepared to face his youngest sister. Tomomi, as dead as his heart was, still remained in it. Even if she was shadowed by his agenda.
A part of his brain, in which he refused to acknowledge, kept making him feel guilty for leaving her behind and breaking his promise to her. To this day, he wished he had went with taking her with him in the dead of night.
She was a lot like his old self, he realized. She was a lot like Touya. So calm, collected, smart and skillful. But she would never be like Dabi. Angry, vengeful, vindictive and manipulative.
And as fucked up as it he may be, he wasn't so evil as to push his views on his baby sister like that. Try and convince her to understand and join him, maybe. But he couldn't push his deadly agenda on her.
"You've been staring at the tv all day." Kurogiri interrupted is deep thinking. "What's eating you?"
Dabi grumbled a little, his eyes never leaving the tv as the Sports Festival played. There was a moment where a news reporter pointed their camera right on Tomomi Todoroki.
She got rid of the red streak, he notices. Bottom layer of her hair was red now. She noticed the camera on her and smiled kindly, waving hello to it with some girl with a wild ponytail standing next to her, doing the same thing.
Tomomi Todoroki, one half of the Todoroki Twins, Ice Empress. That's what they called her on tv. A face that haunted his dreams.
"Mind your business," Was all Dabi told Kurogiri. "Shouldn't you be bothering someone else?"
"Well, I was but I see you sitting a the bar, all alone and so I thought Why not guess what's Dabi thinking? and here I am." Kurogiri sarcastically explained before looking at the TV. "Bunch of idiots, huh?"
"Hmmm." He hummed, barely paying attention to him.
"I think they would be fun to play with." A new voice entered the bar. Dabi and Kurogiri looked to see Shimesu sitting to the right of him at the bar.
Dabi never liked this guy. In fact, he didn't really like most of the people he met but Shimesu, though as young as Tomomi and Shoto ( only two year apart, to be accurate ), was a strong asset. Handsome but creepy, he was. His long black hair could turn into tentacles and he was always dressed in a black shirt, a black and white striped long sleeve undershirt, black pants and black shoes. And array of e-boy looking chains around his neck.
If anything, he looked like a teenage e-boy rather than a villain. But since when do villains have that much of a costume design choice?
"Especially that Tomomi," He continued, nearly licking his lips as he watched her on the screen. They were showing recaps of the past games and every time they showed her, he would have this grin on his face. A grin that Dabi wanted to burn off his stupid face.
"Isn't that the one Shigaraki is interested in?" Kurogiri asked.
Last meeting, Shigaraki told them of his interest in Tomomi Todoroki. For some reason, he stated how she would be an asset to their cause and one of his plans, the next time they infiltrate UA, was to also capture her. She would make good ransom for Endeavor and by some convincing, she could be persuaded into joining them.
Dabi didn't show it but he felt like it was a stupid plan on his part. If only he knew that Endeavor didn't give a rat's ass about his own family, he would have pushed that plan aside. But he knew what Shigaraki meant when he said convincing.
He meant torture. He wanted to break the heroes spirit by breaking her down emotionally, mentally and, in some cases, physically. Because a televised torturing of a child will surely bend them to the League's will. Even worse if they could make her join them.
It was to show that heroes can't save everyone. But because Dabi had a plan, he had to go along with some of the agenda. Even if there was something in his mind telling him to stop it.
"Yeah, the same one that knocked your ass out at the USJ," Dabi said snidely, downing the rest of his alcoholic drink. "Getting your ass handed to you by a first year student was the highlight of my day."
Shimesu glared at Dabi, also never liking him. To him, Dabi was too cocky, reckless and less tactical to be in this league. But he was ruthless and that was enough for them. Still, Shimesu hated his entire being.
"It was very interesting to see that you weren't there." He replied, sarcastically. "In fact, it seemed like most of us did the work. Where were you? Sleeping on the job?"
"No, I was learning how to make fried calamari. Wanna volunteer in contributing? I'd be happy to teach you." Dabi shot back, getting himself another drink.
Kurogiri sighed, knowing that Shimesu was quick to anger and Dabi knew how to push his buttons. Even he had to admit, Dabi often underestimated his ability to drive a person to the brink of insanity solely based on the fact that he can be a huge pain in the ass. But that was what made him fun to be around.
There was never a dull moment with Dabi.
"You wanna say that again, burnt bitch?"
"I do, in fact..." Dabi dranked his second glass of whatever he was given and stood up, flashing Shimesu a smirk. "You want me to turn you into calamari? Oh wait, isn't that what happened to your brother? No, no...I just remembered he's getting fucked in prison for his interest in little boys, isn't he?"
3...2...1... Kurogiri thought, watching the would be fight that was about to happen.
Sensitive about his brother, Shimesu stood up, taking his hair out of the low ponytail and allowing his tentacles to come alive as he burned a hole into Dabi with his glare. Everyone knew of his older brother being in prison and that the reason he was in there was a sore spot for the kid. And yet, here Dabi was using it against him.
Dabi smirked at him, lifting his hand as it surrounded itself in blue flames. "You really don't want these problems, Shimesu...I suggest you sit your slimy ass down and shut up like the kid you are."
"Afraid of getting beat by a kid?" Shimesu taunted. "Of course you are. You're all talk and no bite."
"How about I show you how vicious my bite is since you're so curious?"
"How about the both of you shut the hell up and act like adults?" The gravelly voice of Shirgaraki interrupted the fight from happening as he looked at the two with annoyed glances. "If you're gonna kill each other, do it elsewhere. I don't care where, but not here."
Dabi scoffed, dropping his hand before shoving them in his pockets. "Whatever you say, ashtray." With that, he began leaving the bar. "Call me when some fun actually starts."
Shigaraki sighed inaudibly. He really really despised Dabi and his smarmy attitude to everyone. If it weren't for the fact that he was good at his job, he would have been killed a long time.
Shimesu scoffed at him after Dabi roughly bumped his shoulder as he passed him.
"Find me when you want to die, Davy Jones looking bitch." Dabi said to him before completely leaving.
Yes, Dabi was a liar. But he was also an evil man with many secrets. Many things no one will never know about him. Including why he cared so much for his sister still.
I just wanted to give some insight
on Dabi's current state of mind pertaining
to Tomomi. You can start to see how good of a
liar he is and how he can keep his care for her
under control.
Dabi is still an evil man now but he is an evil man
that cares. Even if it is a very small part of him. I
don't want to change his character at all.
Also Shimesu may or may not be Tomomi's arch enemy.
By the way, I prewrite chapters in a notebook
and I am at the camp arc. I gotta say...That
arc, when I type it here, is going to hurt you all
like hell. Because I started crying while writing it.
I both dread getting to it but I'm excited to do it.
Nothing like trauma to bring a couple together...Right?

Alright, who's back for the chaos?
I said WHO'S BACK FOR THE CHAOS?!
This chapter was rewritten in a total
of 7 times because I am never satisfied
with my writing. So I often have to re-do
a chapter before I am satisfied with what
I did with it.
last chapter was supposed to be this
chapter but I thought, why not see what
goes on into Dabi's mind for a little?
So here we are.
Also the picture in the media above is how
Tomomi's necklace looks like now. Except
its definitely bigger.
Don't forget to comment and vote. I love you
all and happy reading.
Aizawa made his way back to the VIP area, where all of the heroes watched as the games went on. After talking to Tomomi, all he could think about was what she confessed to him. He had a feeling that there was more to it. She only mentioned a fraction of what happened to her and implied what happened to Shoto but she never really gave him the full story.
But Aizawa wasn't stupid. He knew what abuse was and it was exactly what she had told him. But he knew better than to push her for more. She would surely push him away and Aizawa cared too much about her and his students to even have one of them not fully trust him. Especially some as emotionally fragile as Tomomi.
"Hey, Eraser Head." Miruko's voice stopped his thoughts as he continued watching the Festival. He looked to see her standing right next to him.
"Yeah?"
"Your student, Todoroki, what's up with them?" She asked curiously, crossing her arms.
Aizawa raised an eyebrow ( under his wraps, after he reapplied them ), wondering why she suddenly had an interest in his students.
"There are two of them, Miruko...which one do you want to know more about?"
"Tomomi, I think that's her name?" Miruko furthered her question. "Yeah, Tomomi...Tell me more about her? She seems like a very strong kid."
Aizawa looked right behind her to see Endeavor was there, not too far behind. He was definitely earshot of them but it didn't seem like he was listening to them. Still...Aizawa never resisted the chance to challenge bullies. Because that's what Endeavor was...A bully.
"Miss Todoroki, as I have said, is one of my brightest students." He started, looking back to the female in front of him. "She's even my most elegant one, too. Tomomi excels in both hero training and academics. I see her being a great hero once she's graduated."
Aizawa caught a glimpse of Endeavor flicking his eyes to the two for a split second. So you are listening, huh? He thought as he turned his eyes back to Miruko, who was oblivious to them.
"Her aspirations aren't just to be a well known hero. She believes in helping other just for the sake of helping others. Not because she would become the number one hero." Aizawa continued on. "Of course, my other students have the same goal but with Tomomi, I can tell she will be the greatest solely on the fact that she isn't selfish and she does it to inspire others."
Okay, that was a direct jab at Endeavor, who was now narrowing his eyes at Aizawa, who had no problem returning the favor. What was he feeding his daughter? Was he the reason she was acting out again? Was he the reason why Shoto was acting out?
"But she keeps holding back on something...I think it's confidence, honestly." Aizawa concluded. "She's strong and smart but she doesn't believe she's deserving of everything she has achieved and will achieve...She's going to need help with her confidence."
"I believe I can help her with that." Miruko stated, smirking at him. "Hearing this only makes me want to work with her even more. The internships are coming up soon, right? Why don't you tell her that I am interested in her interning with my agency?"
"She would honestly love that but I'll have to talk to her about it." Aizawa replied honestly. "From what I've heard, she is a huge fan of you."
Miruko smiled sweetly. She loved hearing that there were fans of hers in UA Academy. Especially within the female student roster. "Aww, that makes this even better. Thanks, Eraser!"
Aizawa just hummed as she walked away from him. As soon as she was gone, his eyes were trained right on Endeavor, who was also glaring back at him. He might intimidate everyone else around him but he didn't scare him for one second. Aizawa has fought foes tougher than him.
If he had a problem with him showing his care for his students, he knew where to find him.
Shoto and Izuku's fight was up next and Tomomi felt like she should warn him about her brother's rash acts. After talking to Aizawa about everything that was weighing heavy in her heart, she felt the need to be a little bit honest with him about Shoto and her.
So she quickly went to look for him in the back rooms, finding him near a water fountain by himself.
"Midoriya-chan." She called, walking over to him.
Midoriya turned to see the female Todoroki walk towards him. He was always happy to see her but he could tell by her worrisome look, she came to talk about Shoto and his fight with him.
"T-Tomo-chan! Good to see you!" He greeted nicely.
"Can I talk to you? It's about Shoto." She asked straight away. She knew he might be mad at her for talking to Midoriya about this but she felt that he would have a better understanding of Shoto if she told him a little about their home life.
"Oh, okay-" Midoriya was about to finish his sentence when a voice interrupted him completely.
"What are you doing?"
The two looked to see Shoto standing some feet away from them. He did not look happy with the scene on front of him at all. What were they talking about? Or were about to talk about?
Why was his sister talking about him to Midoriya?
It all made Shoto suspicious.
Tomomi sighed, knowing what his look meant. She knew he would be mad about this. Even if she wanted a trusted friend to try and understand them better. Midoriya trusted her with his secret, who's to say he couldn't be trustworthy?
But Shoto didn't see it that way. He was begining to wonder if their father had something to do with this. Ridiculous, he knows but still...
"Midoriya, please give us a moment." She said kindly, flashing him a reassuring smile. Seeing as he was hesitant on leaving the two alone.
He looked very mad at her so Midoriya didn't want to leave her there but that was her brother. So she knew what she was doing.
With one last look, Midoriya decided to leave them in the hallway.
Once he was gone, Shoto turned his gaze back to his sister. With a fiery glare, he began demanding answers.
"What were you two talking about and why was my name mentioned?"
"We didn't get to talk about anything before you came." She replied truthfully and calmly. "It wasn't what it-"
"You were going to tell him, huh?" He shot back, crossing his arms. "Tomomi...you were going to tell him?"
Tomomi looked at him as he stared back at her. The twins looked at each other with the same expression on their faces. Shoto wasn't going to stop until he got some answers and Tomomi wasn't going to back down from him.
"Shoto..." She started, cautiously. "Maybe...maybe if we told someone-"
"Then what?" He asked, scoffing humorlessly. "What? You think it'll make everything better? Well, it won't."
"I don't know why you're being like this, they are out friends."
"No, they are your friends, not mine."
"How can you say that?! I'm just tired of having to hide-"
"THEN DON'T HIDE!" Shoto suddenly snapped at her, his eyes were growing angrier by the second.
His sudden outburst baffled Tomomi. Where was this coming from? Before, he had no problem with the class and now he's paranoid? She knew it had something to do with their father. She knew it.
"Shoto...what's happening to you?" She asks quietly, taking a step forward towards him. "is it father-"
"This has nothing to do with that bastard." He replied venomously, looking away from her. "This is about you and you not being able to shut up about something that isn't anyone elses business."
Right then and there, Tomomi began to feel fury fill up her cold veins. What gave Shoto the right to try and tell her what to do? Just because he couldn't accept help doesn't mean she couldn't.
"Well maybe it's time we get help," she said sternly, flashing him a cold gaze. "I'm tired of having to hold everything in for the sake of pretending everything is okay...I don't want to do that anymore."
Shoto paused, his face losing his anger as it slowly became more and more emotionless. And that's when she knew she got his full attention.
With a sigh, she continued on. "Shoto...I'm not saying we should tell everyone we know...I'm saying we should try and open up to at least one person about this...before we end up like mom."
Her words punched him in the gut as she began to walk away from him. Just before she passed him, she stopped and placed a hand on his shoulder. Making him look right at her.
He could see the sincerity in her eyes and her raw emotions she has his for years.
"I care too much about you to let you destroy yourself because of father."
Patting his shoulder twice, she left him to ponder his thoughts alone.
Shoto didn't know what to think or do after that. Had he been so worried about winning that he neglected to notice when his own twin sister was hurting inside?
Was he that bad at noticing things? He didn't know. Maybe he was.
And maybe Tomomi was right. It would probably help him a little if he just started to trust someone else for a change.
As he walked to the arena entrance, his sisters words echoed into his mind. But then the sight of his father made him feel like he had to prove to him that he could be who he wanted to be without his help.
And that's exactly what he was going to do this time.
yo, I'm so sorry for
the long wait. I'm getting
a new laptop today but I
don't want to leave you all
hanging.
Also, I do plan on writing a
Valentine's Day special and
I think you're all going to
have a laugh with it.
We are reaching closer to
the end of this arc and closer
to the camp arc ( God help us )
and I'm excited about it.

I love you all.
