Some things are better left forgotten (vigilante deku)

Chapter 4

31st May 2245

Izuku's POV

My body ached as my shoulders rose, deep breaths entering my lungs.

"And that's another win by 'The Samurai!'" Another cheer rings out through a room as I limp towards the edge of the ring, already done for the day.

I keep my hand pressed up against my side as blood drips from my waist. Shinobu meets me by the gate with a doctor by his side, who proceeds to wrap my body to stop the bleeding.

"Another great fight Samurai." He pats his hand on my back, bringing me closer to him. "But now, it's time to move you onto something new." He drags me through the room, the doctor still by my side to finish what he started. I give him a confused glance as he sits me down next to a man.

His eyes were bloodshot as he gripped tightly onto a bag wrapped around his shoulder.

"This man has a contract for you." Shinobu motions for the man to speak, confusion pressing through my body.

"So your the Samurai?" His voice sounded shaky as I nod my head, still weary of what was in his bag. "My fifteen year old daughter has been meeting up with an older man, I need you to deal with it." His hand shook as He brings the bag up onto the table, opening it to reveal a large amount of cash. "Just scare him, make sure he stays away from my daughter." I sat in shock, unable to form any words. Shinobu picks up on this and spoke for me.

"Thank you for your time sir. If you don't mind waiting by the bar, we'll have an answer in a couple minutes." The man sluggishly nods his head, taking heavy steps towards the bar.

I kept my eyes glued on his retreating figure, Shinobu's face entering my view with a smirk.

"So? What do you say?" I place my head in my hands, shaking my head in disbelief.

"Your asking me to beat someone up? For money?" Just when I thought Shinobu would offer me something normal. He nod his head with slight hesitation.

"Yeah." He shuffled closer to me, smacking my shoulder to make me lift my head. "But come on, you always said you wanted to be a hero. This is your chance." I stare at him in slight suspicion.

"What do you get out of this?" He faulters slightly, his smirk widening for a moment.

"Some money." I keep staring at him, waiting for him to falter some more, getting my results after a couple seconds. "And it puts me on the map as an info broker." I shake my head.

"If you wanna be a broker, you'll need to hold up better than you just did now." I let out an exasperated sigh. "But I'll do it." His smile widened at my answer, grabbing me by the arm and dragging me over to the bar.

"Great!" We reach the man, giving him the news. They left me out of the conversation, my ears blocking out any noise anyway as I looked over the room.

My eyes lazily drag across the room, watching everyone in the room, wondering who would be fighting me next. But I saw something, a set of blonde white hair waving through the air towards the exit, standing out in the dark room.

I quickly excuse myself, wondering what I just saw and wander over to the exit.

I weave through the people in the room, soon making my way to the exit and walk out, going up the long stairway.

As I open the door and walk out, I bump into someone.

I try and catch them as they fell back but I wasn't fast enough, only able to watch as they fell on their back. I quickly usher an apology and help pick them up, looking them over to see if they're injured.
