Chapter 15: Shiozaki Ibara (Part 5)

A/N: If you like vigilantism, you'll like this chapter. Also the phrase cracked ribs will be in Shiozaki's route at least once every chapter from now on, idk why but to me its funny.

It was the day after the attack, Izuku was in the hospital, being treated for his cracked ribs since recovery girl was overwhelmed with the rest of the students. Most of the students involved in the attack didn't have severe injuries, but some did, and that wasn't even the worst part. Mineta, who was at the wrong place at the wrong time, was flattened and died under the giant Nomu's foot.

Izuku was currently asleep, or was asleep. He opened his eyes, which were red from crying, he didn't feel like doing anything, until he remembered the attack last night. It was supposed to be fun, he was supposed to impress Shiozaki, and what happened? She got kidnapped. It was his fault, if he was stronger, if he'd done more then maybe, just maybe, he could've saved her.

Izuku got up, but was restrained by something, or rather, someone. He looked up to see Aizawa with his hands on Izuku's arms, preventing him from moving.

"Don't even think about getting up, kid. Your cracked ribs are barely healed" Aizawa said, looking at Izuku with bloodshot eyes.

"Do you know where they took her?" Izuku said, his face covering his eyes.

"No, they have no clue where Monoma or Ibara could be. They're trying their best, so just sit tight" Aizawa said.

"Sit Tight?!" Izuku almost yelled. "You expect me to 'sit tight' while they could be doing god knows what to her?" Izuku said, completely disregarding Monoma.

"I won't stop you from going after her, but don't forget what I said last time when you went after Bakugo, I will NOT hesitate from expelling you." Aizawa ground out.

"But-"

"But what? You are way too reckless, you're lucky you still have a spot in this class." Aizawa said.

Izuku just sat there, not making a sound, until he finally spoke.

"Ok."

"Ok? What do you mean?" Aizawa asked.

"I won't go after her publicly". Izuku whispered so Aizawa didn't hear.

"Can you repeat that?"

"I said that I won't go after her." Izuku repeated.

Aizawa was surprised though he didn't look it. It wasn't like Izuku to just give up, but maybe he finally came to his senses.

"Alright then Midoriya, you'll still need to stay here for the night, but as long as you won't go after her, I have no reason to be here." Aizawa said as he walked towards the door and left.

Izuku, still in his bed, reached for his phone before calling someone.

"Hello? Hi mom, you're visiting? Ok, can you bring my black and red hoodie, also my black mask and a pair of jeans? No it isn't super important, ok see you soon." Izuku hung up the phone, waiting for his mom to come.

When Inko came around 6 PM, she fussed over her soon relentlessly, but not before almost drowning him in tears. When she left, Izuku forced himself out of his bed, and walked towards where his mother left his clothes.

He put on his hoodie with difficulty, it was black with red accents going down the side, he then put on his jeans, which were also black. Then he put on his mask, it wasn't special, just a black mask that covered the bottom half of his face. He then put on his red shoes, and jumped out of the window.

He stuck to the rooftops, not wanting to look suspicious. He looked around the city for a while, hoping for some type of clue, until he saw an alley, it wasn't just any alley though. If you looked closely enough, you could see blood at the end of it. Izuku ran towards the alley from the rooftops, and jumped down into the alley silently.

Once he was in the alleyway, he saw Himiko Toga, standing over a dead body with a knife. He'd heard what she was wanted for, but the state the body was in was horrible, he almost threw up his breakfast.

Himiko started to continue down the alley away from the body, making Izuku follow after her, once he came upon the body, he didn't call the police or ambulance for it, as much as he wanted to, he couldn't risk alerting toga, and saving Shiozaki was his priority at the moment.

Once he continued following her after a while, he saw her come across a warehouse, she opened the back door before looking around to make sure she wasn't being followed, Izuku had, barely getting out of her field of vision in time. Once she went in and closed the door, Izuku climbed the roof next to the warehouse and looked through the window of the warehouse from the rooftop.

He saw Dabi complaining about something to toga, who just smiled, and then saw a face he wasn't expecting , Monoma. He wasn't in any bad condition, just talking to the LOV casually. Then it hit Izuku, the attack on the training camp. No one knew but a few teachers and the students who were attending the camp. If Monoma was at the camp, and if he was talking with the LOV so casually, he was probably the traitor.

He then looked around a bit more, and saw Shiozaki bound to a chair with duck tape on her mouth and she was struggling to free herself . But that wasn't even the worst part, he gasped silently as he saw something that made him feel hatred towards everyone there. He saw what seemed to be Mineta, walking into the room.

He was supposed to be dead, then when twice came into the room afterwards, everything about the attack cleared up.Apparently there were two traitors at U.A, and Mineta didn't really die that day, it was just a clone made by twice. But how come his body didn't melt when the clone was crushed?

Mineta then walked towards Shiozaki before saying something, then the rest of the LOV left the room, leaving only Shiozaki and Mineta in the room. He had a bad feeling about this.

His bad feeling was confirmed as he saw Mineta start groping Shiozaki out of nowhere, that was the last straw, Izuku ran to the other end of the rooftop, before turning around and running back to the edge of the rooftop and jumped with OFA: Full cowling. His body smashed through the Window, alerting everyone there.

The LOV ran back into the room and saw a shocked Mineta and Shiozaki, and a figure in a Black and red hoodie, he had on black jeans and a mask on, he also had green lightning racing around his body.

Izuku knew he had no chance against all of the LOV, but he didn't care, he'd save Shiozaki, one way or another. He felt a burning feeling in his arms but he ignored it and activated his quirk as the LOV ran towards him.

The burning feeling in his arms exploded, and out came black tendrils that stretched towards all of the LOV, restraining Compress, Dabi, Toga, Monoma, Kurogiri, and Mineta. He was surprised at this new development, but didn't have time to be surprised for long as Shigaraki teleported himself in front of Izuku and tried to punch him. The fight had to have been heard by the heroes by now.

Izuku dodged, and responded with his own punch, sending Shigaraki flying. He teleported in front of the boy again and they started exchanging blows. Shigaraki dealing more damage than Izuku, leaving him with more cracked ribs and a broken arm. He then heard the police, and Hero's outside.

"THIS IS THE POLICE AND THE PRO HEROES: ENDEAVOR, AND BEAST JEANIST, PLEASE GIVE UP OR WE WILL RESTRAIN YOU BY FORCE!" A police officer yelled through a megaphone.

Taking this chance, Izuku hit Shigaraki with a 45% Kick, and freed Shiozaki from her chair before picking her up and jumping out of the window where he came from.

Shiozaki tried to escape the hoodied figures grasp as they landed on a rooftop, before seeing the figure pull down his Hood and Mask, revealing itself as Izuku.

"MIDORIYA-KUN?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Shiozaki yelled with tears in her eyes., causing Izuku to shush her.

"Shiozaki-san, please quiet down, I'm here to rescue you." Izuku responded

"Where are the rest of the people that helped you?" Shiozaki asked.

"There isn't any, I'm doing this alone." Izuku replied.

"What! Why would you do that!? You could've gotten yourself killed!" Shiozaki said, raising her voice.

"Shhhh, I did it because there wasn't anyone else doing anything about it, and it's my fault in the first place." Izuku said.

"What? What do you mean it was your fault?"

"If I was stronger, I could've prevented you from being kidnapped, I wasn't strong enough, I'm sorry Shiozaki." Izuku said looking down, tears forming in his eyes.

"Oh Midoriya-kun, it wasn't your fault, anyone could've been kidnapped that day, it just happened to be me." Shiozaki said.

"I don't care! Do you know how much it hurt, seeing you get taken like that?! I could've done more! I wanted you to be the one of the people not kidnapped. I needed you, to be one of the people not kidnapped." Izuku choked out.

Shiozaki hugged Izuku softly, not wanting to make his wounds worse. After 20 minutes of being in embracing, Shiozaki spoke again.

"So, what do we do from here?"

"I already have that planned, I'm taking you to the U.A gates, you say you escaped, it'll be believable, seeing that you have cuts and bruises." Izuku said

"What about you?" Shiozaki asked.

"I'm going back to the hospital, there's no way I'm going to be okay if I go back to U.A now, if Aizawa-sensei caught me, I'd be expelled." Izuku said, causing Shiozaki to gasp.

"You did this, knowing that you could've been expelled?" Shiozkai asked gratefully. Izuku nodded.

"Midoriya-kun, could you close your eyes for a second?"

"Why?"

"Just do it." Shiozaki said.

He did as he was told, and felt a pair of lips slam into his, his mouth opened in surprise, before he kissed back. When they pulled away, they both had blushes on their faces.

"W-W-Why did you do that?" Izuku said.

"W-Well, I've been feeling this way about you for some time now, and felt that you needed to know my feelings for you now, I was planning to tell you at the dance, but that didn't go as planned." Shiozaki said. Izuku just stood there, jaw wide.

He finally grew a spine when he suddenly kissed Shiozaki, fiercer than their last kiss was. When they finally pulled back, Izuku had tears in his eyes.

"D-Does that mean you feel the same way?" Shiozaki asked. Izuku nodded, not trusting his mouth not to stutter.

And that was that, Izuku took Shiozaki to the U.A gates, and tore her shirt a little to make it more believable. Making Izuku blush. Afterwards, He went back to the hospital, jumping into the window to his room, undressing himself, putting his hospital gown back on and putting his clothes back where they were.

The next day, the news showed that the LOV were captured, along with the two traitors of U.A, he was happy that justice was served. But his nurse wasn't happy when she found that Izuku suddenly had more cracked ribs, a broken arm, and a nearly broken leg.
