"What?! No!" Midoriya shook his head and took a step back. "Why the hell would I do that?!"
"I know it's not fair to ask that of you... That it's cruel... But please Izuku-" Kira shook her head.
"No! I won't!" He said stubbornly.
"Midoriya-"
"I'm not going to be your love messenger-"
"IZUKU I MIGHT DIE." Kira yelled over his complaints.
"W-what?" Midoriya stammered. "Hey what are you talking about?" He whispered.
"I could..." Kira wiped her eyes. "Midoriya the only reason I'm still alive is because they want my quirk." She whispered. "They're planning on breaking All for one out of jail. If they do they're going to ask him to transfer my quirk to a member of the league. And then..."
"You can't die." Midoriya whispered. "Don't... Don't say shit like that." He shook his head, eyes wide but his face was somewhat expressionless.
"Midoriya they almost killed me already. When I took your blood I made it seem like I was running away. They... She..." Kira wiped her eyes again. "I can barely move right now. Midoriya. I don't know what my injuries are, as far as I know I could already be dying."
"No..." Midoriya whispered and shook his head in disbelief.
"I risked everything to send this message! If they found out that I'm communicating with someone on the outside and giving this information they won't hesitate to kill me." Kira said, sobbing. Right here, Infront of Midoriya. Infront of the ghosts of one for all.
Infront of her aunt.
Kira wondered if Shimura realized who she was. Kira couldn't read her mind, she wasn't real after all... So she had no way of knowing what she thought about all this. She was too stunned to think.
"Please Midoriya. The last thing I did was scream at him. We were fighting and I lost my temper. The last thing I did was hit him. I don't want that to be the last thing he heard from me." Kira sobbed. She basically begged. Never in her life did she think that one day she'd beg Izuku Midoriya of all people to pass on a message. Especially not one like this.
"You can't die..." He repeated. He seemed to be in shock. Not really coming to realize that this was reality. "The class... Your friends need you... W-we need you. You can't die..." He shook his head slowly.
"It hurts." Kira whispered, not really responding to him either. "My God I'm asleep and it still hurts."
"H-hey-"
"I don't want to die Midoriya." Kira sobbed, frantic rubbing her eyes. "I'm just a kid. I'm just a kid I don't... WHY DOES IT STILL HURT?!"
Her body throbbed in pain. It seemed to be getting worse by the second. Her side, her arm her eye. She stumbled a little while sobbing. Everything felt so real. The earth under her feet, the tears in her eyes.
She dropped, falling to her knees. Bracing herself for the feeling of the blow.
But she was caught. Arms wrapping around her
"Please... You have to be okay..." Midoriya begged. "They need you... Everyone does. Aizawa... All Might... M-miso... K-k-kacchan..." He whispered, holding her. "M-me..."
His body moved without thinking.
Midoriya hugged Kira, cradling her in his arms as she cried. He had never seen Kira cry, or maybe he had and he just hadn't cared. But this...
Her form flickered in his eyes. From Kira, to Eri, to Kota back to Kira. All of them were the same in this moment. A hurt and broken kid... A child. The girl he had hated was just a victim of so much, and now here she was back in the same hell.
He thought about Eri. How horrified he would be if she was kidnapped again. Even if it was when she was a teenager. Then he thought about Kira.
It seemed so long ago when her uncle forced them to go on a 'date' together. When she punched him in the face. When she threw him out a window. When he caught her during their training exercise.
"I need you..." He whispered.
"You?" Kira asked him. Hugging the boy she once hated tightly. Like her life depended on it. He was the only source of comfort in this dark time. She didn't care what they had done previously, how they never got along. That didn't matter to her anymore.
"Who else is supposed to keep me in check? Who else is supposed to protect Kacchan from my crazy antics. Come on Kira! You're the only one that can keep my thoughts in line." He pulled back, grabbing her shoulders. "You have to escape! O-or at least hold on until we can come rescue you. Come on! Where are you?! You know everything. You must have some idea where they're holding you!" He pleaded.
"I... I don't." Kira shook her head. "I haven't been outside... I don't even have a window... And no one thought about our location, all I know is that I'm at wherever the league is..." She responded quietly.
"Then you need to escape!" Midoriya shook her. "You're the smartest of all of us! Come on you have to think of something!"
"I can't..." Kira shook her head. "Midoriya I told you... I can barely move. Even when I'm not injured... I'm too weak... My quirk isn't made for combat..."
Midoriya stared at her. They both looked to be completely distraught and desperate. Then he blinked. "What if... What if you add a different quirk?" He whispered.
"What?" Kira asked, eye widening. "What are you-"
"If you could unlock Blackwhip... You wouldn't have to move your body too much... I started to use smokescreen. That would be useful too. Even without the extra quirks you'd be pretty powerful..." He muttered. Kira gaped at him.
"Are you... ARE YOU CRAZY?!" She yelled.
"What?! You drank my blood didn't you? I can transfer One for all through DNA." He looked around at the past users. "Right? It shouldn't matter how far away you are-"
She slapped him. It didn't hurt much considering the fact that they were in a dream. But it was the thought that counts.
"YOU MORON!!" Kira yelled, she was crying again. "You can't do that!"
"Hey! I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU!!" He yelled back. "Come on! Everyone knows it should be you! You know, Bakugou knows They know!" He gestured at the vestiges. "Even All for one himself said it! No one thinks it should have been me. So take it!"
"No!" Kira said by stubbornly. "No it's yours now Midoriya." She cried. "Don't..."
"Come on Kira! It makes more sense for you to have it! I never should have had it in the first place! I'm... I'm the last person that should have become a hero. I'm not heroic at all! I don't know what all Might was thinking. So please Kira!" He pleaded.
"No! It's you. You're the ninth and the only user who's been able to unlock the past quirks. It's going to be you, and it doesn't matter what anyone thinks." Kira shook her head.
"Why? Why me?! They don't even want it to be me! They wanted you." He moved and threw his arm out towards the vestiges.
"So?" Kira asked, she pointed at them. "Look at those people. You know what they all have in common?"
"Huh-"
"They're dead."
"Kira!!!" Midoriya said in shock. "You can't just say that!"
"Why not! I think they're aware." Kira shrugged. "Anyways, if they're dead that means that they did something wrong. They don't know everything. Sure they're experienced and very good pros. But they're not all knowing."
"They-"
"I trust my uncle and his judgment. He's not the best guardian or even a good teacher. But he's a damn good pro. And he held onto One for all longer than any of the other users." Kira grabbed his shoulders. "If he saw something in you. If he believed truly that you have what it takes then I agree."
He stared at her in shock. "You actually mean that?" He asked.
"Course I do. Besides I can't take One for all. I'm too weak right now, if I tried to use it I'd probably combust. A-and I have a quirk, so it will probably drain my lifespan right?" She glanced over at Hikage, the forth user who died of old age... At forty.
He nodded slowly. After him all the other users ended up dying in combat. Aside from All Might. Who was quirkless when given the power.
"Right..." Kira rubbed her eyes. "S-so it wouldn't even make sense for me to take it..." She whispered.
She desperately wanted it.
But she couldn't take it. She had to put herself aside for this. It would take too long, it was too dangerous. Too selfish. Too many things could go wrong.
"I... Have to go now." Kira whispered. "You have to wake up. Find Aizawa."
"What?! What do you mean you have to go? C-can't this last twenty four hours? I can wake up and you can explain through me!" Midoriya asked.
"I can't risk being caught like this. If they knew... They wouldn't care about my quirk. Itd be too much of a risk and they would kill me without hesitation. Just do what I asked okay?" Kira pulled away from him.
"F-fine I'll go to Aizawa... B-but I'm not talking to Kacchan about how you love him or whatever!" He said stubbornly. Wiping his eyes.
"Midoriya-"
"I won't say a word unless I know for a fact you're dead of something! Y-your can say whatever you want to him yourself!" He said. Crossing his arm, acting like himself. But there was a sadness in his eyes...
"Fine... At least tell him one thing?" Kira asked. "Tell him I'm sorry for hitting him."
"Huh?" Midoriya frowned.
"He'll know what it means." Kira smiled softly, wiping her eyes. "Midoriya?"
He nodded. Wanting her to continue.
"Thank you... And I'm sorry but I'm gonna have to wake you up... And it might hurt." She said with a chuckle.
"Wait what-"
"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH."
A/n: welp you got the character development you always wanted... But at what cost?
Also... Did you guys think Kira made the right choice in declining his offer?
Thoughts?
