My Hero Academia:re - Volume 1 Chapter 4 Last Meal
They had just arrived in the house, Himari was cooking some food for their dinner. Kira sat down on the couch and grabbed the remote. He turned on the TV and watched some anime.
Ring!
His phone suddenly starts ringing, Kira takes his phone out of his pocket and answers the call.
“Black, we have a job for you” a hoarse voice said.
“Blue, who ordered?” Kira asked.
“You know we can’t answer that, anyways, the target is Jikuro Hokiri, villain, wanted for murder and robbery” Blue said.
“I’ll take it” Kira said as he hang up. He didn’t ask for the reward, he didn’t need to. The amount of money he has from all those jobs he had taken was enormous. He only took the job as he wanted one last hunt.
They ate their dinner together as they watched some TV. Himari was leaning on Kira’s shoulder as they finished eating and was going to finish the episode until they sleep.
“Nii-san, are you still working?” Himari asked, worried about her brother.
“Don’t worry, it will be my last job” Kira said as he stroked her hair.
Just like that the episode ended and Himari went to her room and said “Goodnight Nii-san and be careful!”.
Kira walked inside his room, opened the cabinet and behind all the clothes was a hidden compartment. He shoved all the clothes away and put the password in the touch pad. The metal compartment opened to reveal a white space filled with his clothes and weapons.
He took out his signature, bullet proof, black coat, white button down shirt, black tie and pants,red gloves. He put them on his bed and changed his blue shirt and pants to his white button down shirt and black pants.
He put on the black tie and wore his black coat. Lastly he grabbed his red gloves and put it on. His clothes were custom made and bulletproof. In addition to his bulletproof clothes, his coat was padded by some sort of special materials that reduce any blunt and sharp damage.
Once he finished changing he turned back to the cabinet and took out a large silver suitcase. He opened it and inside was a single edged sword without a guard.
He closed the case and went back to the compartment and grab the knives attached on the wall. The knives were silver and black in color. He grabbed the knives and put them inside his coat as there were straps for the knives.
These weapons were made with some of the strongest metal there is. It was made for efficient and clean killing. Though, killing was hardly ever clean. He closed the suitcase and locked the compartment.
He then walked out of the house with his suitcase on hand. This is the last job he will ever take and he doubts he will return to the company. He walked towards his bike and he had customized his bike to have a place in the back for him to put his suitcase into.
He got on the bike with his suitcase attached in the back. He started the bike and the sound of its engine running reverberated throughout the place. He stepped on the gas pedal and the bike moved forward, slowly accelerating to speeds well above the limit.
He looked at his phone and he was getting closer and closer to the green dot. Blue had sent him the location of his target. He was in the dark part of the city. Devoid of any bright lights except for the vibrant pink lights in the night clubs.
Villains lurk around every corner. Too numerous to count but Kira did not feel afraid. No, they should be the ones who are afraid. Once they see the man in a black coat and red gloves they run as fast as they can.
Now the streets are devoid of any living person. He once again glanced at his phone to see the green dot come closer. He parked the bike at the side as he continued to walk towards his target. He turns to his right and sees in a narrow alley his target, smoking.
Jikuro is a lanky man dressed in a dirty jacket, blood stained shirt and ripped jeans. He knew he was coming, he was afraid, distressed and most of all, he knew that this night was his last night. Despite knowing that he is going to die, he wanted to at least put up a fight.
Kira was walking towards him slowly but he stopped once he was 10 meters away from Jikuro. He felt the fear in Jikuro, he loved it! Kira smiled viciously, his eyes turned into a kakugan and with one hand he opened his coat to reveal neatly arranged knives.
He grabbed three of the knives and threw them at Jikuro. He then used his Quirk to stop the knives mid-air then he turned the knives around, aiming at Kira. Jikuro had stretched his arm forward like he was controlling the knives’ movement.
‘Appears to have some sort of telekinesis Quirk’ Kira thought as he clicked a button at the handle of the suitcase. The briefcase opened and Kira grabbed the sword with his right hand and brought it up just in time to deflect one of the knives coming at him.
One white skeletal tail that had sharp spikes running along it grew out near his tail-bone as it extended and whipped away the two knives coming from both sides. Smiling, Kira dashed towards him with his sword ready to kill.
Jikuro remained composed despite this terrifying scene of Kira running towards him, he grabbed a knife from his back and lunged at Kira.
Kira slashed upward his sword to parry his attack. The sword and knife collided with sparks appearing and the knife of Jikuro, broken. Kira used the momentum to spin and land an elbow right in his chest.
Jikuro bent his body from the impact as he spat out blood. Continuing, Kira did a horizontal slash, cutting Jikuro in half. Kira smelled the scent of iron and blood in the air. It had been a month since he had his last “meal”.
He bent down and started ripping through his body, stuffing his mouth with the corpse of his enemy. Truly a monster in human skin!
Kira had finally finished his last job. It was rather easy compared to the jobs he was given before. Kira wiped his sword on the torn up shirt of Jikuro. He then took out his phone and called Blue.
“Blue, I’ve done it” Kira said.
“Good, like always I’ll send the reward to your account” Blue said. Kira however did not care about the reward.
“I’m quitting Blue” Kira said.
“What!? You can’t just quit like that! Nikori won’t allow it! What about your Blood Oath with him?!” Blue said worried and distressed over his sudden retirement.
“You know you can’t abandon the Blood Oath, the whole country would be after you!” Blue shouted through the phone.
“Tell him to find me when he needs to fulfill the Blood Oath” Kira said.
“What about your sister?! How is she going to live normally if you do this!?” Blue said.
“She’s going to be a hero, heroes don’t have normal lives, besides I trained her” Kira replied nonchalantly.
“Damn it Kira!” Blue said forgetting to use his code name out of anger and frustration.
“Well, its been nice partner” Blue said after a few seconds of silence, realizing he can’t change his mind.
“Same to you” Kira said as he ended the call.
