Whispers

1/2/?/Four

"Told you I'd find you." A familiar voice growled with a loud voice filled with undying hatred for the man in front of her, "I never underestimated your capability, Chihiro." Mikumo responded as he got up, wiping the blood from his mouth. She clenched her fists and shot an infuriated glare at Izuku, "You! I knew something was off about you."

"W-what?"

"Don't play dumb. You actually made me pity you for a while but here you are walking around with this scum in plain daylight, accepting gifts from him and indulging him with all these petty outings." She seethed, "I hate people like you! Who's side are you on?!"

It was as if a bucket of cold water was dumped on his head. He faced her with a complex look,

"I-"

"SPIT IT OUT!"

He was a person who believed in justice but why when he actually needed to make a decision he was so hesitant. He's not on Mikumo's side that's for sure and he's on board with making him pay for his wrongdoings but not like this.

Chihiro wants to kill him.

A villain is a villain but they don't deserve to die just because they've been lead astray. No one can just decide whether or not someone gets to live or die including villains and heroes. So, in this situation, he cannot agree with Chihiro and she's made her intentions clear with many of her actions. Her thoughts have been entirely clouded by grief and resentment that it'll be almost impossible to put out the fires in her heart now.

"I'm on his side."

They both froze and held a look on their faces as if they hadn't anticipated that response. Mikumo did not smile nor grimace but held a blank expression. This gave Chihiro an opportunity to land a solid hit to his chest and then shoot towards Izuku, grabbing his collar roughly, "YOU-"

"Stop it! If you kill him now, how does that make you any better than him?!"

"It makes me better because by killing him I'll be doing this damn city a favour."

Izuku struggled in her grip, "No! You won't because you'll just be adding another murderer to the city instead!"

Chihiro fumed at his words and raised her fist, landing a punch on the side of his face. In the distance there were sirens and with that, Mikumo shot out of his daze and grabbed Chihiro by the shoulder and she went limp. He lanched his hand onto Izuku's wrist and they made a run for it. They zipped into an alley and behind multiple buildings until they came to a stop. It was silent with only the sound of panting as they both went to catch their breath,

"Why did you say that?"

Mikumo had his back facing Izuku and his breathing was rough,

"Huh?"

"You're on my side?" He whipped around and startled Izuku. He had an angry expression,

"On my side? ARE YOU CRAZY?"

"What? I don't understand?"

He laughed bitterly and put his hands to his head, "You're supposed to hate me. I hurt you, your friends and killed people yet you're on my side? Do you know how that sounds?"

"Yes, and I understand that but that doesn't mean you deserve to die!"

"What? That's what you think? But why? I feel Chihiro's resentment and goal is quite justified."

Izuku furrowed his eyebrows, "What? Do you enjoy people being after your life?"

"Perhaps! Because if someone else did it for me then I wouldn't have to do it myself! But it just happens that I'm a coward, so I'm always running." He grinned like a lunatic and this all made it hard for Izuku to understand, "If you won't understand then I'll make you understand." He storms in the direction they came, "Where are you going?"

He snaps his fingers and only a few moments later footsteps come running toward them. Chihiro came running with a gun in her hands. Izuku's blood went cold and ran forward but Mikumo ducked down and knocked Chihiro off her feet, "I've been going easy on you but someone needs to show Izuku what he's trusting."

He roughly grabbed her head and she struggled relentlessly under him, "LET ME GO!"

"If you loved Sakura so much then you won't mind if you went and joined her."

"MIKUMO!" Izuku shouted with a horrified expression as he dashed forward to throw himself onto Mikumo, "Y-YOU CAN'T!"

Chihiro broke out into a fit of screaming as if her head were ripping apart. Izuku's eyes went blurry when the sight of blood entered his vision and it felt like an eternity before the screaming stopped. It's not like he didn't want to move but it was that he couldn't. Mikumo had once again restricted his movement. He stumbled back a moment after and Mikumo sat up and laughed maliciously, "I think you keep forgetting what I'm capable of."

Izuku threw a hand over his mouth and suppressed the urge to vomit. He got on his knees and put his hands on Chihiro's wrist and neck and was horrified when he found no pulse. He let out a yell and sobbed as he stared at her lifeless body with blurry vision, "You killed her!"

"Of course I did and I can kill you too! Now, Who's side are you on now!?"

"You're a- You!"

"I'm a what? A monster? A psychopath?"

Izuku was knocked to the ground and was faced with a person he hardly recognized, "ANSWER ME!"

"I don't know! I don't know!" Izuku cried. Mikumo's face turned blank as he sat up and then scowled, "How disappointing."

"Mikumo!"

"WHAT?!"

Izuku had words stuck in his throat and tried to speak but was frozen on the spot,

"You really thought you could help me? How foolish." He began walking but stopped and make one more comment, "I'll take care of the body later so just leave."

Akane Yamazaki's body was reported to be found in XXX neighbourhood. His body was burnt to the point where it was almost couldn't be recognized. The police believe it was definitely a murder and currently investigating.

11-year-old Akane Yamazaki in the local Psychiatric ward miraculously survives a fall from two stories after being pushed out the window by another patient.

It's only been half a year since the murder of Sakura Akizuki at Sasayaki highschool. The prime suspect Mikumo Ushia still missing.

"I'll make a deal with you. It'll be a bargain between both of us that gives us both what we want."

_

"I'll be coming back soon."

"Is there a certain reason?"

"You killed another person, Mikumo."

"Ahaha! How could you tell?"

"You say that as if the news didn't exist. I know how you kill."

"Oh, you're so observant."

"It had to be Chihiro, huh? A sweet girl, really."

"Sweet? Is that supposed to be a joke?"

"Fine, she was a little aggressive."

"Will you miss her?"

"Hm. Well, what happened to the other one?"

"..."

"You can be such an idiot."

"Shut your mouth. The dead don't speak."

"Hm, yet you've had no trouble conversing with me."

"Will you finally come back and finish your end of the bargain."

"Most definitely. You killed my best friend's little sister."

"I'll be looking forward to it."

"I hope you don't go regretting your choice by the time I get there, you coward."

"I won't."
