Arranged Marriage

Half-Sibling + Assassination

Izuku POV

It hurt.

It hurt so much.

Nakama.

A word I barely used.

I smiled at my father and took my place next to him.

The reporters had been let in to question me.

"Miss Midoriya where have you been all these years?"

"Well I'm quite shy and it took some adjusting. Thankfully my loving father guided me to where I am today."

It felt like venom to say those words.

"Why did you not make any appearances?"

"There was an incident years ago that proved I was unfit to be seen yet to the public. So I took that time To prepare myself."

"What about schooling?"

"I am personally taught."

"Would you consider attending Royal Academia?"

"Perhaps."

"What do you think about the two princes? Todoroki And Bakugou?"

"I don't know them well but I'd be honored to know them."

"Can you tell us about your quirk?"

Ah this was the question I hated the most.

"My quirk?"

"Yes. What does it do?"

"Gomen. That information is private."

"It says in some sources that you're quirkless. Is this true?"

"As I said before any information regarding my quirk is confidential."

"Hmm... you were once said to be an orphan, is that true?"

"Hai. My parents did what was best for me. They feared a villain would make an attempt on my life so they gave me up. I'm so happy that I found them though."

Ugh. Please just leave.

"What we want to know is who are the candidates for your arranged marriage?"

"What?!"

"Ehem excuse me but any information regarding marriage is strictly prohibited."
- Father

I looked at him in shock.

Was this his plan?

To marry me off?

"It also says that a few years back that you assaulted the heir Bakugou. Is that correct?"

"Hai."

"Just why did you assault him that day? Can you elaborate?"

I gulped.

No matter how much prepping I wasn't prepared for this.

This one tugged at my heart strings.

A lady must never stutter.

A lady must keep her opinions to herself.

A lady must do as she is told.

A lady must never falter.

A lady must always answer honestly.

I hated those damn rules.

"Well Katsuki Bakugou And I shared a history. He was the one who brought me to my loving family. We had a quarrel and we just grew distant after that."

"What was this quarrel about?"

I blushed. Marriage. Tch. I can't those fools know that.

"It was about our future dreams. We didn't see eye to eye any more and our dreams didn't align. Anything else?"

"What are these dreams of yours?"

"My dreams are very personal but one key hint is dealing with the hero world."

"Okay... it's said that you're a great warrior. Is this factually correct? If so then what type of fighting do you do?"

"I'm happy to say that I am a warrior. I've beaten everyone in the castle except for Father. I work with all types of weapons as well as martial arts and karate."

"What type of weapons?"

"Those used by ancient samurai. Such as swords, daggers, darts, shrunken, etc."

"Do you have someone you love?"

I averted my gaze.

A lady must never show signs of failure.

Don't tarnish the family name.

"No... not anymore."

"Not anymore? What do you mean?"

"I had a silly childhood crush but it didn't work out."

"What are your thoughts on the rebels gathering?"

"Rebels?"

Out of nowhere a dagger came hurtling at me at lightning speed.

It almost beheaded me.

I turned and saw people in black attire.

Sort of like ninja.

The ballroom erupted in chaos.

Their target didn't seem to be on anyone else but me.

My father stood to the side looking bored.

What was his deal?

One came at me with fast movements.

I dodged at best I could but it was harder with a dress. Tch.

"Who the hell are you?!"

"Me? Hahaha. Who am I?"

"That's what I said."

"Don't tease her so much. Reveal it."
- Father

My father interrupted but continued to Lean against the wall.

It's not like his daughter was getting assassinated or anything.

"Hai. Hai."

The hooded figure took off his face mask and revealed a boy a little bit older than me.

He had purple stitching and looked like a reincarnation of a modern day Frankenstein.

"Wha-?"

Everyone else was too busy dealing with the other chaos to notice me and this mysterious being.

"Names Dabi."

"Okay..."

How could he talk so casually?

As if he hadn't just tied to assassinate me.

Ugh.

"One last thing you should know.... I'm your brother!"

What the hell?

"What the hell?!"

"Anyways if you want to survive to see tomorrow you're gonna have to fight me. Let's see if you're the real deal or not."

What. The. Hell. Was. Happening?!

"Father What is the meaning of this?"

"To test if you're suitable to be heir. If you die you die. What he says is true. He is your brother. However he does not share the same mother."
- Father

"You might want to focus on me or you'll end up dead."

And so I fought with my brother? I didn't understand what was happening. If my movements faltered I would be as good as dead.

That was the time when my brother tried to assassinate me.

That was not the last time.
