Then There Was Two (Katsuki x Izuku)

Red as Blood

Izuku POV

Another wave of pain ensued and I could barely keep conscious.

The baby boy was crying which was a good sign usually but now all it did was bring attention to us.

Overhaul and Kacchan continued to fight.

He would win.

He HAS to win.

His blood loss was great yes, but I knew he would pull through.

Overhaul was defeated the moment he picked a fight with Kacchan.

I was however worried about little Eri.

Would she be okay?

As the battle progressed I watched much to my dislike Kacchan's movements get a tad sloppier.

Don't slip up.

Not now.

He was getting closer to his limits.

As was I.

I wanted to go to him and help him fight but I was a little preoccupied at the moment.

I had tried to call out his name but instead the darn baby decided to make its entrance.

Okay round two, we got this.

It'll be fine.

I was sweating so bad and it hurt to breathe, it hurt to live.

I wanted to scream and yell at the top of my lungs.  Cry a river of tears and dig my own grave that's how bad the pain was.

Instead I limited my pain to groans to not draw attention to myself.

I glanced over at the fight.

Kacchan was cornered with Eri but the look in his eyes reassured me he still had the fire to fight.

What the heck is taking this baby so long?

Oh don't tell me there's something wrong with it!

What if it can't make it out, will it die? Won't I die?

Please come on.

Kami~sama if you're out there please give me this baby soon and healthy.

The other had quieted in my arms.

Not dead just sleeping.

"I'll be taking that."

I heard those words and I looked on in horror.

My worst fear.

My father.

I had yet to see him until my second year.

When I found out he was a monster.

He had left my mother and I to take on the life of a villain.

He was second in rank to Shigaraki but had already displaced Kurogiri.

Yes he had been captured but within a year he had been freed.

Breathing fire seems like no big deal, none at all, until you experience it first hand.

That battle between him and the heroes had resulted in twenty casualties.

The scale at which he could burn was greater than even Endeavor and Shouto.

He had almost killed Kacchan and he came close to killing me after denying his request for me to join the League of Villains.

I still had the remnants of an old burn on my back.
