The Day of the Dead Villain: The Witchdoctor

Chapter Eight: The First Day

(A/N: The song is for when he begins cooking because he can do that. Also, almost 500 reads? Sweet! Can't wait to continue.)

        I looked at the darkening sky, watching the grey clouds swirl around angrily. A storm was brewing, a nasty one at that. Of course, it wasn't quite as obvious now as it wood be later since the sky was but a light grey. I huff, upset that the weather had to be so crummy. I was actually planning on taking a walk today, but I guess I will just spend my Saturday inside.

        I slide on my oven mitts, opening the oven and pulling out a tray filled with dark chocolate macarons. Macarons weren't particularly my favorite sweet, but I don't really care for sweets in the first place. It makes me wonder why I even bake them. Mt. Lady. Setting the tray on the counter to cool off, I take off my mitts and flop on the couch. I released a relaxed sigh, letting my body be devoured by the fluffy furniture. Man, do I wish every day was like this; making sweets, relaxing on soft couches, having not a care in the world. It was the life, in my opinion.

        Rapping on my door alerted me that someone was waiting for me. I shifted my head in the direction of the door behind me, my eyebrow raised. Who would ever want to visit me? Was it a hero? I begrudgingly flipped myself off the couch, balancing myself on my feet. I lazily walked over to the doorway and opened the oak door just a crack to not let the cats escape. I was met with the bright, smiling face of Uraraka holding a bag and the slightly nervous wreck behind her, Midoriya. I quickly scanned my memories as to any reason why they were here before I remembered Uraraka had asked me to train with her and Midoriya.

        I gave the two a smile through the small opening. I slipped through the door, making it just wide enough for me to get through before shutting it. "Ah, Midoriya-kun, Uraraka-chan, nice to see you both. How are you doing?"

        "Hi, Lucifer-san. I'm doing pretty good!" Uraraka answered. "Wow, I've never seen you so casual before."

        I raised my eyebrows at what she said. I was wearing a pure white sleeveless turtleneck shirt that slightly hung over my blue jeans and was a tad bit tight around the torso. My feet were bare since I was simply lounging around the house earlier. My hair was put up in a slightly messy ponytail and a couple strands of my maroon hair fell at the sides of my face. I suppose it was quite casual compared to what everyone witnesses me in on a daily basis, but it wasn't like I lived in my school uniform or my villain costume.

        "Why don't you two come in. It looks like it could rain any moment," I suggested. "I hope you don't mind cats."

        The two looked a little confused but followed me inside my domain anyway. Their eyes practically bulged out of their sockets when they first glanced at the place. Cats, loads of them, littered the house. Some were on the stairs, some took my place on the sofa, some were walking around on the floor. They were absolutely everywhere.

        "Ah, yes, um, don't mind them," I mumbled. "They are all fairly sweet. Just try not to step on any of them."

        "Why do you have so many cats, Witchdoctor-san?" Midoriya questioned.

        "You see, this area tends to gather many stray cats," I begin. "I never really paid much attention to them until after I was eight, but after that I absolutely adored them! Since I grew fond of them, I just couldn't bear to see them being left out on the streets like that. So, I pick them up and take them home. So far, I am housing thirty-four cats." The two's mouths dropped to the floor. "Anyway, why did you two decided to come and visit? If you didn't read the forecast, then it is going to start pouring in not too long now."
