Assassins Can Be Heroes Too || Todoroki Shoto

|38| Welcome Home

Rie never actually felt so terrified in her life until they made eye contact.

"Father..." Her breath hitched as she stared into the golden eyes that she had inherited, harshly piercing into her. Her heart thumped wildly as Karasuma returned into the dining hall, bowing as he served him coffee. She cleared her throat. "How was the trip?"

He was a brown-haired man whose golden eyes pierced into her, the girl shuddering under his sharp gaze. He wore a business suit, similar to that of Karasuma's. In fact, he wore the exact same clothes as the Hassake butler, having ordered their tailor to sew another similar outfit for the family butler.

"It was good," his eyes wandered over through the room, finally landing on Karma, "you've been behaving, haven't you?"

"Of course, sir~" he sang, a devilish grin on his face. Rie flashed him an alarmed gaze, mouthing for him to behave, his only response was that he stuck his tongue out playfully. She internally groaned as the man whipped his attention back to her.

"You haven't fired him yet?"

"No, sir," she muttered, pondering silently as her eyes wandered through the room, swallowing before she asked hi where her mother was.

"She'll be returning tomorrow," he answered curtly, "I expect you to be on your best behaviour, young lady."

"Yes, sir."

There was a tense silence in the room.

"And... you're in high school now, right?" her father gazed over at her, raising an eyebrow, "which school are you going to?"

"Shirana Academy," was the first school that came to mind, cursing under her breath, recalling that both her parents were well-acquaintanced with the principal of one of the only schools for Villains, "it's a good school."

"If not, we'd have to talk with the principal," he agreed solemnly, "have you hired any new servants?"

"No, father," she shook her head politely. He hummed lowly, his sharp eyes travelling to Karasuma. "The last servant we hired was Irina, a week before you left."

"Irina, Irina, Irina..." he furrowed his brows, struggling to remember who she was, and snapping his fingers in recognition, "ah! Irina Jelavić, that blonde Serbian who started to teach you how to... ah... seduce..."

"Yes," she squirmed uncomfortably at the mention of her unique methods of assassination, "other than that, she's a good pers-"

"I don't want to hear it," he interrupted curtly, the girl immediately quietening, "you don't talk to your brother, correct?"

"No, sir."

"Dismissed," he sipped his coffee, the girl bowing her head and not hesitating to run out. Karma immediately ran after her, stealing a side-glance at the man who merely ignored him. She exhaled, letting out a breath she didn't know she was holding. Itona walked up to her with a blank expression, asking her if she wanted to see his new invention.

"Ah... sorry, Itona," she apologised quietly, "but... maybe later..."

Her mind was elsewhere.

"Okay," he stated calmly, taking a bite from his chocolate bar, "maybe after your training camp."

"Yeah, maybe," she stated distantly, Karma instantly rushing forward as she began to sway from side-to-side, her mind fading in and out of consciousness, "who..."

"I've got you," he murmured, supporting her as she breathed heavily, "it's me, Karma." He flashed an alarmed and stern gaze to Nagisa, who hurried forward alongside him, supporting her and leading her up the grand staircase and to her room, where the azure-haired boy helped her calm down.

"You good now?"

She nodded wordlessly, both males watching her carefully. She bit her lip, her eyes travelling to her U.A. uniform.

The assassin's stomach churned uncomfortably as she flopped down onto her bed, letting out a breath she didn't know she was holding. She turned over, grabbing her pillow and screaming into it as Karma watched her from leaning against the door, a solemn expression falling over his face as he crossed his arms.

She had a bad feeling about this... but she didn't know what.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So if anyone's confused on what's happened, this is the main jist of it:
Rie's father came home from a six-month business trip, her mother's returning a day later due to running some business in another part of the city. Because of this, they are unaware of her attending U.A. and she instead tells them that she attends Shirana Academy, one of the only academies in Japan that allow Villains to enter; her parents attended Shirana.
(She has a pretty strained relationship with both of her parents in case you couldn't tell...)
Also, I'm thinking that Rie's house/mansion is similar to that of the Phantomhive Manor from Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler...
MORE WILL BE ADDED TO HER PAST IN THE TRAINING CAMP ARC!!
