Villainous Hero

41 | Part 2

(A/N)
Hi my amazing Readers ★

Hooray! Heroic Villain is finally here! This book begins at Season Four of BNHA.

As you know, or maybe don't know, this is the 2nd book in my Villain series. So go read Villainous Hero before you dive into this fan fiction~

Thank you for reading Villainous Hero and nowhere is Heroic Villain. ☆

I'm jolted awake by someone with a very irritating voice yelling at me. Just hearing their dry ranting makes me want to throw anything hard and sharp at them.

"Get off your lazy ass. What reason do you have to be sulking? Your ego was destroyed huh? Kurogiri, she's not even listening. Whatever. Master must've left supplies somewhere around here. I'll find it if even if she doesn't tell me." Tomura Shigaraki muttered in his usual way.

The greyish-blue haired idiot is currently trespassing in my house. I could have sworn I put up a sign that read 'No annoying adopted stepbrothers allowed'.

"My apologies Shiki, he bullied me into coming," Kurogiri said exasperatedly. They must be here to snoop around for money or anything to pawn off.

"Does it look like I give a shit! Get out." Sitting up in bed I scream at my stepbrother and friend to leave. Holding my hand out threateningly Kurogiri understands he quickly creates his escape route. Tomura whines while Kurogiri pushes him into the warp gate.

"Again, I'm sorry" Kurogiri apologizes. I watch them leave with my vision red. I still can't control my own quirk, it seems to act up whenever I feel mad.

I let out a sigh of irritation and sit up in my bed. My ego was not destroyed. No one can influence me like that.

Stretching my limbs I feel the carpet between my toes. My eyebrows stay permanently stitched together. With the comfortable feeling of my phone in my hand, I leave my bedroom for the kitchen. Each step feels heavy.

Anger at myself burns through my veins. How long have I spent just moping around this house? It's obvious I let myself feel like this for I don't know how long. A month? Maybe more? How pathetic am I for letting that boy, Shouto, get to me?

My ego.

I'm a villain. No one can influence my emotions anymore. No one...

By my side, I spot my phone. Opening it I reveal the screen I was on the night before. The last texts Todoroki Shouto and I shared. Or rather my numerous texts of regret and apologies.

Shame, anger, betrayal. I let him in and this is what happened. I even wanted to change my entire person just to be with him.

Lying. I've been lying to myself. Shouto broke me. My ego has definitely been destroyed.

What's left now is just anger.

And Pain.

"Shut up!" The comfortable heaviness of my phone is tossed from my hand. In a flash of red kinetic sparks, it smashes against the hard tiles.

No one spoke in the empty mansion. This large house was left just for me. That no one but me lives in. It used to have servants once, Scavengers are what I called them. They don't come here anymore ever since All For One sent them away.

It's just me here.

My head is running 24/7, it's impossible to think! I don't know if I can do this. There's only one thing I know for sure. Everyone's so full of shit.

It's better that I'm alone.

Every day at daybreak I wake to thrash and out of breath. The night terrors have recently started to follow into my daily routine of wake up, eat and stare at the wall now that I broke my phone. Just kidding about the wall.

All For One's mansion has multiple rooms to keep me busy during my self forced house arrest. Like the gym that I don't utilize. And the television room that is dark and creepy, that I also don't utilize. Funny that he has a room full of just tv's, considering the old man's eyes are nonexistent.

Some parts of the mansion I refuse to go into. Having grown up here from the ages of 5-13 I know basically every nook of the house. When I wasn't training and doing chores I was off pretending I was somewhere else. Anywhere other than this stuffy place.

Sure living in a mansion sounds great. But this large house is quiet, cold and so very dark. All For One was blind after all. He used a motion-sensing quirk to "see" the world around him. It's dark in other ways too.

My feet come to a hesitant stop at the mouth of a dark hallway. Peering in, eyes slightly unfocusing, I recall the events that happened in the room at the end of the hall. Suppressing a shudder I move on.

Riiiiing
Riiiiing
Riiiiing

The shrill sound of the house phone I didn't even know I had called to me. Its urgent ring forces me to do the weird skip hop thing to make it to the phone before I miss the call. My hand hovers over the phone. Who would be calling this number?

I decide to leave it alone until the ring is over. Better to be safe than sorry.

The house phone rings again, and I leave it alone. An anxious feeling rests on my shoulders. Again the ring continues. Finally, the shrill sound stops. The home phone buzzes and beeps informing me that the stranger has left a message.

Snapping myself out of my staring contest with the red hang-up button, I push to hear the message. The anxiety I feel only grows.

"Shiki." A male's voice breaths into the receiver.

My skin crawls. I keep dead silent even though I know it's a recorded message and the man cannot hear me. Hearing someone I don't know call me by my name so formally, like we're old friends, frightens me.

"I was once a trusted caretaker for your Daddy. I know how hard it is to keep the house tidy. Employ me and I will clean, launder and landscape for you. The only pay I need is your grace. Your power. Consider my help, please." The voice I heard didn't match the words said. Except for when he said your power.

The voice was creepy. Chills ran down my spine despite the cold sweat on my palms. The man ended the massage.

That was a Scavenger.

I dubbed them that name a long time ago. They used to work for All For One and in exchange, he gave them a quirk or monetary value like money. My hate for them was obvious. A month before his demise, in an attempt to appease me All For One got rid of the Scavengers.

Now they're back.

All For One must not have killed them when he told me they were gone. He fired a bunch of power-hungry who couldn't get a normal job if they tried. So now there are angry, possibly dangerous, men out there who know All For One passed on his abilities to me.

Thanks, Dad.

More of them will surely come to me now that they know about my situation.

Sleep didn't come easily that night.

I'm sorry for my disappearing trick after finishing Villainous Hero. I recently moved countries so everything was (still is) chaotic.
