Lies [BNHA FANFICTION]

Chapter 7: Mister Hand Man

For the past couple of days, Izuku mostly did Akaguro's chores, which he did not complain on doing. He also got to talk a lot to Toga, exploring each other's backstories and personality. During this time period, he also used less of the implant that was given to him

"About the news the other day," Izuku began. "Don't you think its a bit strange that Kacchan didn't tell the police about you or me? The news only reported about the dead body they found on the lake."

Toga hugged Izuku from the back, as she looked up to him and replied. "Don't think much about it. Besides, you really can't trust the media nowadays." She had just finished tying up Izuku's hair into a bunch of fountain like things, which Izuku also found cute. "Who knows, maybe the police decided that it was private matter that should be settled without the media getting involved~!"

"You're right, maybe I shouldn't really think about it too much," Izuku mumbled as he held Toga's hands and let her lay her head on his shoulders, that is until the doorbell rang and their lovely scene was disrupted.

Izuku stood up instinctively but Toga forced him to sit. "I'll get the door~!" she exclaimed as she ran over to the entrance. There, she met a strange and peculiar guest. The guy had a hand over his face and his skin was arid.

"Tch, why did master force me to do this. 'To meet your future companion.' Yeah that's pure bullshit," the man murmered. "Oh, didn't notice you were there." He faced Toga but overlooked her, trying to search for a blind boy.

"What're you doing here?" Toga asked as he barged into the room. "H-hey you can't just do that! Izukuu~! This guy's bullying me~!" she cried. Izuku turned on his prostetic eye. He saw a strange pale man at the footstep of their room.

"Shut your slutty mouth, bastard. Where's that piece of shit my old man's talking about? Ikuku was it?" the main entered the apartment, as he shoved Toga away. "Ah, Izuku! That's the name!"

Izuku stood up right away, but Akaguro signalled him to not. "Why are you looking for my underling? Are you the guy who was supposed to give him his quirk?" he asked as he stepped forward.

"Ugh, both of you are a pain. I guess that green-haired idiot is the boy," he mumbled. "Shigaraki. The old man sent me to come fetch this bastard." He then pointed out to Izuku.

Izuku stood up and nodded. "Sure, we'll come with you." He fixed himself and undid Toga's hairstyling. "I also apoligize for the trouble we've cost so far."

"Tch, stop being so formal with me, we're about the same age dumdum," Shigaraki hissed. "And they're not coming, only you are. Old man told so."

There, Toga threw a huge fit. "What?! I should at least come with him! Who knows what you guys would do to poor Izuku? You might use him as some lab rat for an experiment of yours! That's so gross and disgusting!"

"Calm down toots," Akaguro told her. "I'm sure Shigaraki could be trusted. He was sent by the man himself after all. That man knows to respect others, I'm sure this bastard knows how to as well."

Shigaraki glanced at them. "Call the old man if you want, here's his phone number." He showed his phone with a contact on his screen titled 'Master.' Akaguro had doubts of this but decided to call him nonetheless. He wanted to make sure this strange boy wasn't just pretending to be someone he's not.

"Hello Shigaraki, what made you call this early?" the man from the other line started. He has a sort of... intimidating vibe to him, to say the least. His deep voice matched All Might's, only that it's darker and more ambiguous.

Judging from Akaguro's expressions, he knew that this is the man is the one he's looking for. He quickly ended the call, not wishing to talk to the man. "Izuku, go with this man. Do whatever he tells you and then go back home immediately after you recieve your new quirk. Toga, stay with me for the meantime."

Toga's eyes widened as she furrowed her brows and averted her eyes. "Tch," she cursed. "If Izuku doesn't come home by night, I will hunt you down and feed you to Satan's dogs." Her ice cold stare met Shigaraki's uncaring eyes.

"Do whatever you want," he told her as he dragged Izuku outside, with his pinky up. "I was just following orders." Toga observed them as they went out of the room and out the building, making sure that Shigaraki wouldn't do anything brash.

"Let them go, Toga," Akaguro scolded her. "We need to uphold our side of the deal." He stared at both of them and watched them as they wandered off to the streets where Akaguro can't see them anymore. "They'll be back by sundown, don't worry. For the mean time, let's watch some television, I hope there's good content here."

Toga sighed in frustration as she gave up. Izuku would be mad at her if she followed them, and she would be extremely depressed if that happened. She sat beside Akaguro and watched him switch through channels. "Why did you let go of him that easily?" she asked him. "Aren't you supposed to be his mentor slash guardian? Shouldn't you take care of him?"

Akaguro brushed this off. "That man is a trustworthy man, missy. If you don't believe in me then I can't do anything, sadly. I'll let you go on a rampage if your dear precious Izuku doesn't return by night, okay?" He looked down at her and stared for a bit before asking another out of the topic question. "Do you know any good channels we could watch?"

Toga's eyebrows furrowed in disappointment. "Channel 14 for sports, channel 22 for romcoms and sitcoms," she mumbled as she glanced at the television screen, awaiting for Izuku's safe return.
