BNHA: Dual Fates.

Chapter 17: Invites.

A/N: Sorry dudes and dudettes, I messed up on a tiny piece further down but I fixed it so it'd work out! It's when, in the anime, it showed the students up in the seats during Midoriya's match, and in my previous chapter, I mentioned them being in the hall. So, I changed it to better match the anime! XD

Sorry, again!

He followed her through the shadows with his hands in his large pockets, slouched over his head as those yellow eyes remained on Yukimura's backside. Though the girl would turn a corner on occasion, he knew where she'd be so he kept on her trail towards the public pool. Citizens weren't even on the streets right now, so he deemed it safe to lose his cloak; however, the very coverage was over his shoulder dangling past his back. When his eyes took notice of the public pool's sign above a set of double red doors, he simply ignored the sign and made his way to the side of the building where a pool resided.

No care at all showed in his actions as he made his way over to its edge and dropped the cloak. Wani didn't care to pay for his entry, so, all he did was remove his vest and boots. The guy was nothing but muscle as he stretched his arms over his chest and head. His large biceps, his abs, and pectoral muscles all flexed and twitched during his movement.

Now with his hands on his hips, the man rolled his neck around to pop it and a sickening crunch could be heard along with a crocodile grumble of relief. A quick jump, water splashed harshly over the side after he dove skillfully into the pool. Minutes later someone in a hoodie arrived, their pale hands in their pockets and a pair of red eyes that watched him chill underneath the water.

The stranger's face couldn't be seen since their back was to him, until, it showed them from the side with frowning dry lips and a mole. "So, you accepted our meeting," Their barely whispering, smooth, and deep voice indicated that the stranger was a male. Those red eyes never left Wani's frame who sat cross-legged in the center of the pool with his eyes shut, the man took a mental note of his appearance and concluded that he didn't look human.

Those yellow eyes peered up to the water's surface and were met with the stranger's piercing ones; no sign of care on his face nor fear as they gradually stood on the pool's floor. His feet kicked up before swimming faster to the edge and when he did, those black claws on his hand tightly gripped onto it. Very slowly did he rise back up, only allowing his head to leave the water so they could converse. "What is it you want?" A low growl of anger erupted from his throat, much like crocodiles except his was meant to express annoyance.

"Snappy, are you? I heard from the news lately that heroes have been missing and when they're found, they're usually half-eaten or torn apart. I know... It was you. Sharp teeth marks and clawed handprints, who else would give imprints such as those?" That frown never left him as he spoke and took a moment before continuing. "I have an offer for you; will you join the league? I could use a man like you, your strength and your quirk would be quite useful," his strict stare never left those yellow slits that could send shivers down anyone's spine. Wani was unaware that the shady man was brought there via a quirk from a member of his league.

"I work alone... Now scram, there's someone else I'm waiting for and you're going to ruin my chance to look good," Although he had a natural smirk on his lips, they curled up further to express a grin and exposed the row of teeth that was used on his previous victims, who the stranger mentioned.
