Diseased (ShinKami)

Chapter 21

🚨ATTEMPTED AND MENTIONED SUICIDE🚨

Denki woke and didn't hear his alarm. He looked at his clock and saw it to be 2 hours since school started. He picked up his phone and saw heaps of missed calls and messages from the class group chat.

He rolled off his bed to only receive a painful jolt to his legs, due to yesterday's session. He decided to get ready for school. He snuck downstairs and there was no sight of the man he called his father. Denki ran out the door and tried to make it to school, all while pushing past the pain.

Denki slid open the door to 1A and everybody stared at him with concern. He felt, and probably, looked like shit. Mr Aizawa had the most concerned expression of them all. Denki's legs felt like they would fall off if he took another step. He had hobbled, painfully, all the way to school.

"Kaminari? Please take your seat."

Denki nodded but the moment he moved, he collapsed to his knees. He clutched his stomach as he threw up on the floor. He was shaking and crying like a mad man. Aizawa crouched by the boy's side, while the students looked on with concern.

"Iida?"

"Yes sir?"

"Could you please get Recovery Girl, Mic, Cementoss and Midnight? They should be in the teacher's lounge."

Iida gave a nod and ran out, careful not to step on a retching Kaminari.

"Aizawa? Is Kaminari OK?" Momo asked.

"He should be fine."

As the man went to place his hand on the boy's shoulder, the blonde's eyes dilated and he slapped the Hero's hand away.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!" He screamed.

"Kaminari. I'm not go-"

"I SAID DON'T TOUCH ME! PLEASE! JUST GET AWAY FROM ME!"

The boy whipped his mouth on his sleeve, stood up and ran off, pain once again ripping through his legs. Denki ran to the first place he thought of; The roof. He ran up the stairs, pushing other students out the way, so he could move quicker, the sound of Aizawa's boots hitting the floor with tiled thumps, as the adult chased after him.

When he reached the roof, he flung the door open and threw his bag. He ran to the edge and looked up at the sky. He closed his eyes and the breeze hit his face. He heard the voice of his mother and the yells of his father.

'I'm coming, mother...'

He took another step, foot slipping off the edge of the roof, other foot following and then his whole body afterwards. Just as his body passed the windows of the first floor and the breeze floated his hair, he felt a jolt in his middle.

As he was pulled back onto the roof, he was immediately pulled into a tight hug, and he heard a sob... Deep and scared. He didn't look at the person responsible, but he just clutched onto the sleeves and allowed a sob to wrack his body.

He was pulled out of the embrace and held by the shoulders. Denki looked up and was met with brown fear filled eyes of... Aizawa...?!

"Don't you eVER do that aGAIN! Do you hear me?! Don't ever do that! You gave me a heart attack, Kaminari! Look at all of your friends..."

Denki did as he was told and saw some on the verge of tears, others with looks of fear. Midnight, Mic, Cementoss, and Recovery Girl were there as well and looked just as frightened.

"I just want her back..." Denki whispered.

"Pardon...?"

"I JUST WANT HER BACK! I WANT MY MOTHER BACK BUT I CAN'T! I COULDN'T PROTECT HER! I COULDN'T SAVE HER FROM HIM! I CAN'T EVEN SAVE MYSELF FROM HIM!"

"What are you talking about, little listener?"

"MY DAD! IT WASN'T SUICIDE! HE KILLED HER! HE SHOT HER THROUGH THE SKULL! WITH ME WATCHING! EVERY NIGHT I FEAR GOING HOME! 'CAUSE HE'S THERE! HE HITS ME! HE BEATS ME! HE EVEN THREW A FUCKING BEAR BOTTLE AT MY FACE AND GUESS WHAT?! IT SHATTERED ON MY FACE!"

"Denki...?! Your being abused...?!"

"You don't get it! None of you do...! I'm a failure... The school joke... Everyone says nothing hurts me but it does... Everyday I'm dead and going home just reminds me off that! Oh no...! I messed up...! I fucking messed up! I'm dead...! I'm so dead...!"

Denki ran off the roof with everyone in tow, exclusion of Cementoss and Recovery Girl. He ran out of the school building then the school grounds. He ran through the streets, tears flying from his eyes.

When he got home, he ran up to the door. He was about to reach for the handle when the door swung open. A tall, broad shouldered man stood before him, a scowl on his face. He grabbed Denki by his hair and threw him inside. Everyone else waited outside to see what would happen.

They heard screams, yells and more screams. They eventually decided that enough was enough. They burst through the door.

Meanwhile

Once inside, Denki was thrown to the ground. His father standing before him. He walked over to the kitchen counter and picked up a large knife. He stalked over to the boy, a menacing, psychopathic grin on his lips.

"I warned you...!"

"No... NO...! NO!"

Denki screamed as his side was stabbed over and over. He begged for the man to stop but he didn't. He just stabbed more and more. The man then moved on to the boy's stomach, ripping off his shirt.

"STOP! PLEASE STOP!"

The man used his quirk on the boy. He morphed his hands into poison ivy and wrapped them around the small boy's neck, letting him screech as he also made ivy enter the open cuts on Denki stomach.

The front door suddenly burst open, revealing the pro heroes of Mic, Midnight and Aizawa, the 1A students entering after them.

"Drop the knife!"

"Oh! You mean like this?!"

Mr. Kaminari then drove the knife further into Denki's side.

"Denki!"

The class was on the man in an instant, knocking Kaminari from the adult's grasp. Shinso couldn't stand back and watch any longer. He activated his quirk.

"Hey!"

"What do-"

"Gotcha..."

The police were already there and they arrested the man. As they were talking to Midnight and Aizawa, Present Mic walked over. The Voice Hero checked the electric blonde's pulse. It was there but it was slow. He picked Denki up and carried him out, the students following close behind.
