prologue
Kai POV
I walked through the allies of Tokyo looking for my next target to assassinate.
Tokyo is pretty but there is always these parts of town that suck big time. Criminal activity, smells like pee, has trash everywhere, and other not so plesant things.
It's not much different from the area where i used to live. I work as an assassin for both heroes and villains now that I'm in this world.
I've always found their views on heros vs villians odd. It was never like that at.. Ghoul world. Yeah, thats a good name. GW.
It was killed or be killed. Hide or be killed. Claim territory or starve. Encounter the doves and either have a badass fight or run.
I've been doing assassinations since I left the chaos of GW about a year ago. I mean my lifestyle isn't bad compared to when the CCG was on my back. I would always have to switch allys because the doves would always be way too close for comfort. So I did what I had to do. Leave. I took an old train and ended up here. Its odd how there are no ghouls here and no one knows their existence. Its kinda lonely knowing your the last of your species. Or your tecnically an undiscovered one. Now that i think about it that consept makes me feel like an animal. I'm not that much different from one in the humans point of view in the GW though. Just another pretator to the human race.
It's simpler for me to be in this world. They do not to know about ghouls and they dont need to. We can live in peace because they aren't scared of me or treating me as a monster that needs to be killed when seen. Sorry frankenstiens monster.
Back to the fact that I dont know what the heck this world if thinking. Why does it matter if a person is a villian or not. Why does it matter if someone is a ghoul or not. If they aren't harming you then you should be ok with that. Right? I guess that if I go off on a killing spree like those gormet ghouls, then that wpuld be bad. But some ghouls just want a meal. Villians on the other hand, some are good. From what I learned so far, most and if not all villains are one of two things. Bad beacuse of their own reasons or mixed in with the bad people somehow.
Heros are a different story all together. The majority of heroes are seeking fame and fortune and are willing to do un-heroic things like ask me to assassinate villans that are interfering with the heros plans.
Well, un-heroic is the wrong word. Its more like lazy.
Im actually on one of those types of assasinations right now. Lazy heros, lazy villians.
Heres how this mission goes: There is a hero named bobby who is targeting a villan named sammy in order to stop sammy's crimes, but there is a third party, Karen. She wants to kill sammy for her own reasons. Blah blah blah- everyone knows karen and now is mad at her because she and her intentions suck.
So... Heres my plan
1) Photoshop a dead Karen and dont ask how.
2) Show dead Karen picture to sammy to get his money.
3) Kill sammy and take picture.
4) Find Karen
Thats what I got so far.
This time its a super long prosses but I get a lot on cash.
Another way I can assasinate is that someone just tells me to kill a person and I do it. Its not as fun though.
If im lucky, a hero might pay me loads of money for me to kill another hero that is taking thier spotlight.
I walked past the Leauge of Villians base as I walked to the area I agreed to meet karen at to give me the money and the photo evidence of dead sammy.
I've grown close to the league of villains. Kurogiri is nice and shigaraki tolerates me. They let me stay in their spare room which is now kinda my room now. Well, at least they have not moved my stuff from it and no one else uses it.
I know I'm earning enough money to live on my own and pay rent but if I do try to do that then they will decline me beacause I'm underage. They would call child servises because I'm alone and call the police because I have thousands of dollars coming from nowhere.
My thoughts came to a hault as I saw Karen smoking next to a trash can.
I spoke through a voice disorter, "Heres the target." I showed her a printed picture of sammys dead body which I dealt with earlier.
She handed me the money. I swiftly took the wad of cash and shoved in one of my many pockets of my cloak. I then took out my kagune, killing her.
I took a picture of poor Karen and sent it to bobby the hero along with the picture of dead sammy.
Money from Karen asking to kill sammy? Check.
Money from Sammy asking to kill karen? Check.
Money from bobby asking to kill both karen and sammy? Check. Check.
Another meal for me? Checking that off right now. Thanks Karen for volunteering as tribute.
Beep Beep!
I checked my phone and sure enough, I'm going to be late for school.
I ripped off Karens arm, munching on it for a minute, feeling satisfied. Im alredy going to be late. Might as well eat.
I quickly ran back to the League's base. "Hey, giri!" I shout as passed him.
"You're going to be late Kai!" He shouted back.
"Its fine Giri. I'll make it before they take roll call!" I shout while running inside my room to change out of my assassin costume and into my uniform.
I sprinted out and ran to school. I made it to class right before the bell rung.
I sighed in relief that I made it in time. I smiled at my purple haired friend, Hitoshi. He gave a soft smile and chuckled at me then looked to the front where the teacher was walking in.
"Good morning class! Today we will be talking about our futures. There are all sorts of jobs you can get when you're older but I'm sure I already know what you want to do... BECOME HEROS!" He cheered and threw the papers in his hand, into the air.
Evreyone got excited and started using their quirks while cheering while Hitoshi and I just sat in the back quietly.
I mentally scoffed at the fact that the teacher presumes that evreyone wants to be a hero. I'm doing just fine as an assassin and I have no intention of being a hero anytime soon.
I'm really thankful that no one besides Giri, Shiga, and Hitosi know I'm a ghoul. Besides the Leauge, no one knows that I am the midnight assassin; that's helpful too when it comes to school and me being in public. I do feel bad for not telling Hitoshi though.
---
I walked out of class with Hitoshi following beside me. We walked in silence for the most part, but I was humming a soft tune. "You seem especially happy and energetic today." He said tiredly as per usual.
"Is it really that noticeable?" I ask and deadpan.
"Evreyone can tell you are in a good mood, but I can tell you ate recently huh." He slightly smirked.
I pouted, bumping into him playfully, "You know me a little too well Hitoshi." He just chuckled and sat down at our secluded table and he brought his lunch out.
"Planning on going to UA high?" He asked me.
"I honestly don't know or care. Once people end up figuring out-" I paused and gave him a look which basically said ' that I'm a ghoul that looks like a cannibal to others' "The heroes will probably go bezerk. They'll probably kill me, lock me up or at the very least ban me from being a hero." I sigh, "I honestly don't know what I'm doing with my life."
Hitoshi hummed, probably not knowing what to say. "You want to go to UA right?" I asked already knowing the answer. "Yeah, I want to prove to everyone that even with a quirk like mine I can still be a great hero." He said biting into his sandwich.
"Come to think of it..." I trailed off earning a glance from him. "Sandwich is a really ironic name for that," I said pointing to his half-eaten meal.
"Why?" He asked a little confused.
"Because it tastes like sand." I bluntly say and make a 'yuck' face when he teasingly took a big bite of his sandwich in front of my face. "Ewww that's groosss. Get away." I whisper-yell not wanting to catch other peoples attention.
"What you mean this?" He said teasingly waving it in front of my face. I visibly pale and scoot away from him.
"Dude, if you keep on doing that I'm gonna barf." I pale at the thought of eating a sandwich. He finally backed off and went back to his seat, chuckling.
Hmmm... hero or assassin? I thought, sitting down again.
I hope you guys liked it so far :)
