Creatures From Hell

Chapter 14 The Truth

"I can explain this," Dabi said as he pointed to Hawks who seemed chill about the whole situation. 

"What is going on?" The man asked confused.

"Well, this is my friend Hawks," Dabi said.

"Hello," Keigo said as he waved at Kurogiri who watched them suspiciously.

"I know what you are Dabi," Kurogiri said Dabi's eyes widened in shock.

"How?" He asked confused the demon thought he'd done a good job at hiding it until now.

"I'm familiar with you're kind. If you ever lay a hand on my son I'll rip you apart limb for a limb!" Kurogiri warned Dabi backed up a step he didn't know what this man was capable of. Dabi didn't know Kurogiri's connection to demons but he wasn't sure he wanted to know. Kurogiri took a step forward towards the demon who bolted up the stairs for Shigaraki's room. Hawks followed him right behind him when he saw Shigaraki's door he reached for the handle but was stopped by someone grabbing his hand. "Nice try," Kurogiri said as he blocked Dabi's hand from grabbing the doorknob.

"You can teleport what the hell are you?!" Dabi asked as he backed away from the man. He held his arm out getting ready to use his flames if necessary. Hawks pulled out a feather from his wings making it sharp as a knife getting ready to strike. Kurogiri's face was blank, not portraying what he was thinking which scared Dabi. The man could do anything at any second and they'd never see it coming. While Dabi was strong he didn't know the other's skills.

"I'm not a demon if you wanted to know. I'm merely an angel who has fallen." Kurogiri explained as he walked towards the demon to corner him.

"Stop if you hurt me it won't work!" Dabi shouted hoping to deter Kurogiri from trying to injure him or Hawks.

"I know that but I want you gone. You demons are all the same trying to manipulate the weak. I will not have that for Tomura I've sworn to protect him." Kurogiri said Dabi looked at him confused. What was he talking about?

"Let's talk this out alright?" Hawks said he laughed nervously trying to diffuse the situation. 

"We are talking leave my son alone," Kurogiri said oddly calm for his threatening stance.

"I can't he summoned me," Dabi said Kurogiri frowned at that.

"Why would he summon you?" Kurogiri aksed confused he didn't ever tell Shigaraki about that book.

"I don't know I just got summoned!" Dabi said he didn't actually know the reason he'd been summoned. He guessed it was on accident at how Shigaraki had run from him when he'd first arrived.

"What is going on out here?" Shigaraki asked as he opened his door to see what all the noise was about. He had been playing Minecraft with Spinner then heard yelling over the game sounds. At first, he had ignored it not wanting to leave his online friend alone to go check it out. When it'd continued he decided to check to tell whoever was making the racket to shut up. Shigaraki had expected to see Dabi doing something to tick Kurogiri off by putting his boots on the couch or something, not this. His adoptive father had Dabi cornered with no way of escape and a person he didn't know was hiding behind the demon. All three of them looked at Shigaraki when he opened his door he glared at them all waiting for an explanation.

"Creep help me!" Dabi pleaded he looked desperate.

"Dad, why do you have Dabi in the corner?" Shigaraki asked the man.

"No reason go back to gaming Tomura," Kurogiri said dismissing him with a wave of his hand.

"Answer the question stop avoiding it. Unless you're hiding something?" Shigaraki asked Kurogiri.

Kurogiri sighed, "Fine you needed to know sooner or later." 

"Know what?" He asked curiously.

"I'll explain over tea," Kurogiri said as he left to go make some.

"Thank the lord that's over," Dabi said as he finally relaxed after the man left.

"You got some explaining to do. I've only ever seen him that angry when I insulted jazz music that Sako got him for Christmas." Shigaraki said Dabi chuckled Kurogiri did seem like the type of person to listen to jazz music.

Shigaraki, Dabi, Kurogiri, and the guy who Shigaraki didn't know introduced himself as Hawks all sat at the kitchen table. Shigaraki was curious where this conversation would go and what was happening. "Alright, get to talking everyone," Shigaraki said Dabi sighed.

"You know that cat I picked up?" Dabi asked Shigaraki nodded remembering the annoying creature. "That was Hawks," Dabi explained Shigaraki looked at him skeptically. 

"Demons can turn into different creatures." Hawks explained.

"Okay, so why was Kurogiri attacking you?" Shigaraki asked the demons who both shrugged.

"I have experience with demons. I'll tell you now Shigaraki they always mean trouble." Kurogiri said leaving the teen confused.

"How do you know about demons?" Shigaraki asked the man.

"Eleven years ago you were taken from your family for reasons. I was assigned to be your guardian angel so it was my duty to protect you. But I failed he got to you first so I had no other choice but to follow his rules to get you out of there. By the time I was done I'd been stripped of my status as guardian angel since I'd been working with him. Helping you or not they didn't care. Fallen angels are condemned to Earth forever so I choose to raise you to become your guardian. But this time I won't let fail you Tomura Shigaraki I won't allow you to fall into the hands of demons ever again." Kurogiri said Shigaraki was shocked, to say the least.

"Who wanted me and why?" He asked.

"Tomura you're not entirely human. The man who wanted you was called All For One." Kurogiri said Dabi shivered at the mention of the name. All For One had been a real threat for thousands of years to both demons and angels. All For One wasn't a demon or angel but a combination of both. Both of them wanted to get rid of the vile man but no one could compare to his strength. That was until he was defeated by the angel leader All Might but he had been badly wounded after the fight. Dabi knew his dad paled in comparison to All For One which is saying something since Enji Todoroki was the current King of Hell. 

"What? You're joking Kurogiri." Shigaraki said the man shook his head. Shigaraki was confused he felt lied to the person he was supposed to trust hadn't told him something important for years. He started shaking everyone looked at him in concern. "Kurogiri I'm eighteen why didn't you tell me?" Shigaraki said Dabi grabbed his hand to try to help calm him down. Shigaraki didn't even look up from the floor didn't even give the demon a reaction. 

"I thought it'd be best for you to live a normal life," Kurogiri said the teen gritted his teeth to keep from saying something he'd regret.

"Were you ever going to tell me?" Shigaraki asked his voice was shaky he sounded like he was about to cry. 

"No," Kurogiri said sadly he didn't want to see Shigaraki upset but he did it to keep him safe.

"I need to be alone," Shigaraki said as he got up from the table and ran up to his room.

"I'll go check on him," Dabi said as he stood up getting ready to follow the teen.

"No, it's best to leave him alone when he's this upset," Kurogiri said to the demon who quietly sat back down.
