A Tenko x Dabi Beauty and the Beast

The Judgement

Kurogiri felt himself begin to awaken apart of him thinking what strange dreams he had been having and swore no more spicy foods before bed. But as he was coming out of his slumber he felt a pain in his head and he grimaced grasping at where it hurt. He had a black eye from when he had been punched by Chisaki and was having difficulty opening his eye.

"Don't sit up so soon. You've been unwell." a man's deep voice spoke.

Kurogiri thought strange it doesn't sound like my son's voice for it was far too deep to be Tenko's. Till he came out of it and saw the sleepy face of Shouto Aizawa the town bookseller. Although he had a deep look of concern on his brow.

Some of Aizawa's cats were in bed with Kurogiri cuddled up around him sleeping.

"You've been sick with a fever for a few days now. Yamada found you unconscious in the woods and tied to a tree. Do you remember what happened to you?" Aizawa asked him while Hizashi gave a nod.

Kurogiri attempted to sit up once more. Aizawa and Hizashi slowly helped him sit up and then offered him a cup of tea. One of the cats jumped off the bed due to the movement.

Kurogiri thought to himself collecting his memories. Though the pain proved difficult he took a few sips of tea and started coming back to himself. 

"Yes, I remember now. Tenko was kidnapped by a beast and I was going out to rescue him. Chisaki was there he was going to help me save Tenko, but he thought I was lying and betrayed me. He...he's after my son. Oh, I don't know what's worse that terrible beast holding my son hostage or or that cold blooded Captain." Kurogiri lamented gazing at his teacup.

"Are you saying Kai Chisaki the war hero did this to you?" Aizawa asked in surprise or as surprised as Aizawa was capable of being.

"Yes, he became angry with me accused me of fabricating it all and then he punched me in the face and after that it's all dark." Kurogiri said wincing as he felt his bruised eye.

"Well, now that I think about it those knots the ropes were tied with were pretty expertly done as if done by a soldier." mused Hizashi to himself stroking his goateed chin.

"You said he tied me to a tree?" Kurogiri said in shock recalling what the man had said earlier.

"Yes, you were completely unconscious tied to a tree with a high fever, might I add." Hizashi said.

"Yes, Chisaki is little more than a town bully running about scared of germs." mused Aizawa as well. "I never would have thought him capable of this."

"What do you mean by he's after your son? Did he kidnap him?" Hizashi asked shocked for he hadn't been to the village in months.

"No, he wants to marry my son. I told him I would never allow it. Not after the way he behaved and especially not now. Not after what happened." Kurogiri said more determined.

"Well get some rest, Kurogiri. Your welcome to stay here as long as you want." Aizawa said. Hizashi agreed.

"No, I can't. Tenko needs me but first I have to expose Chisaki for the brute he is." Kurogiri said.

Kurogiri set the teacup aside attempting to stand by putting his legs over the side of the bed and in the movement he caused the other cats to run off. Then he stood up but lost his bearings and Aizawa and Hizashi caught him.

"Alright, I suppose you are right. I will rest awhile longer, but then I need to get out of here and get the towns support to punish Chisaki, and rescue my son." Kurogiri said sitting back down feeling a little sheepish.

"Of course, Kurogiri. We will help you." Aizawa said grasping his shoulder.
