chapter nine;

━━━━━━ "I SEE YOU BOTH HAVE COME BACK empty-handed", isao commented, watching as his other two daughters have brought back some medium-sized yōkai.

     "indeed father, but ultimately it's just a game, no need to be so serious", kisa fake smiled, wanting to hit the hay already.

     isao sighed and just waved his hand, dismissing his daughters.

     just as kisa had entered the tent, someone had bumped into her, causing the person to fall on their bum.

     "I-I-I'm s-sorry!!!", the green-haired boy apologized, making kisa chuckle.

     "my, you're actually quite the cute one. midoriya izuku right?", kisa asked as she extended her hand out, to which midoriya hesitantly took.

     kisa's eyes swiftly scanned the boy, wondering if her sister had purposely sent him here to poke fun at her.

     "u-umm...a-actually—"

"izuku~ there you are! silly boy, you've walked into my sister, kisa's tent", kasumi lightly laughed, putting a hand on the freckled male's shoulder and making him flinch.

"my apologies kisa, this one's a bit of an airhead", kasumi smiled, not apologetic at all.

kisa remained neutral.

"yeah yeah, just leave already. I'm tired and I'm dying to spend some time with my lovers", kisa smiled as she turned to dabi, shigaraki, and chisaki.

     the girl then fell into dabi's warm embrace, watching as midoriya and kasumi swiftly left.

     "having fun there princess?", dabi grinned, to which kisa just chuckled.

     "yeah".

     "I heard you came back empty-handed", chisaki mentioned, as kisa stopped hugging dabi and unscrambled the piece of paper in her hand.

     "I actually did come back with something...a great deal that'll benefit us in the future", kisa wickedly smiled, examining the small piece of paper.

     "help", kisa read out.

     "huh?"

     "it's from bunny boy", kisa replied.

"who?"

"ah, midoriya. the green-haired boy from earlier".

"why's he called bunny boy?", dabi asked.

"huh? cause he's cute like one. he looks so innocent and afraid that it just makes me want to eat him up", kisa dangerously chuckled.

shigaraki slightly frowned at that. perhaps it was because midoriya was his enemy, and he didn't want anyone killing him before he does.

"why's he asking you for help?", inasa questioned, stripping off the armor and dropping it onto the nearby table.

kisa tilted her head from side to side, laughing to herself as the four men wondered what the girl was up to now.

     "kai, when's kasumi's wedding again? didn't she send out invitations earlier in the week?", kisa asked.

     "indeed. it's in three weeks on the first of november", chisaki replied.

     "three weeks...I nearly forgot about our wedding. I wonder how kaoru's planning is going".

"you let a six year-old plan our wedding?!", shigaraki scowled.

"well you four didn't seem to be too interested in it either. plus, kaoru knows what I like and don't like", kisa smiled, burning the small piece of paper midoriya slipped into her hand secretly.

"ah, which reminds me! I want a modern wedding dress, like the ones you humans wear when getting married", kisa brought up.

"really? like one of those princess gowns?", dabi snorted.

"no, I want..."

kisa's bright yellow eyes suddenly lit up like a child on christmas. she had the perfect dress in mind, and she knew it would ultimately piss her father off.

"you want...?"

"don't pry! the grooms aren't supposed to see their bride's wedding dress", kisa grinned, hastily leaving the tent as she left the four male confused.

chisaki sighed.

"what did she gain from going into the forest?", the brown-haired male asked inasa.

"the allegiance of the oni clan".

"huh? aren't they supposed to be all hostile and shit?", dabi questioned.

"apparently at the age of 13, she saved him from a trap, most likely kasumi's. and he's been indebted to her. and they've been on good terms since then", inasa responded.

     "so she's been planning this for a long while...", shigaraki mumbled.

     "I'm not surprised. she's like a ticking bomb, ready to explode any moment", chisaki commented.

━━━━━━ • ✿ • ━━━━━━

     "tomura, let me see your tie", kisa demanded as the male grunted before making his way over to the girl.

     the girl smiled as she tightened the male's simple black tie. kisa then brushed through's shigaraki's blue locks, pinning it back with a bobby-pin.

     "your skin and lips are looking so much better my love", kisa whispered, smiling as shigaraki just clicked his tongue and looked away.

     "ah kai, could you do my hair please? it doesn't matter what you do as long as it looks good", kisa said as she sat in front of her makeup desk, putting rosy red lipstick on.

chisaki sighed as he brushed through the girl's long hair, braiding it loosely as he stuck tiny red flowers in the girl's hair randomly.

the girl then tightened the straps of her black heels as she flicked the dust bunnies off her long silky black gloves.

"dabi, could you bring me my black fur shawl please? it's on the counter over there", kisa requested as she had trouble putting on a black diamond necklace.

inasa, immediately snatched the necklace from the girl and helped her out it on, without saying anything.

"thank you inasa. you're looking dashing today as well", kisa complimented, to which the male had simply ignored the comment.

"alright, I suppose we could head towards the main hall now", kisa announced as she stood up and exited out her room.

as the five arrived at the wedding of kasumi and her four fiancées, to which midoriya and kirishima were a nervous wreck.

"nice to see that you've recovered bakugo", kisa greeted, to which the blonde boy just gritted his teeth and turned away.

"u-um thanks for your concern princess, s-sorry about k-kaachan. he means well", midoriya stuttered.

"no worries. and...about the note a while back..."

"o-oh!! um...I...."

"tch! why the hell are you asking her for help? they're all the same anyways", bakugo lowly snarled.

"watch your fucking tongue hero", shigaraki growled, glaring at the four meanwhile kisa held onto the male's hand, thankful that he had his gloves on.

"you villains have no right to lectur—"

"todoroki, may I have a word with you in private please?", kisa requested, to which the stoic male given only given a curt nod.

"are you seriously going to go with that cunning woman?!", bakugo harshly questioned.

     "you little shit—"

     "it's fine tomura", kisa smiled as she kissed the male's cheek, to which his face had burned into a fury pink.

     "come on todoroki", kisa urged as the two stepped away from the crowd.

     "you want to save those three from my sister right?", kisa asked, to which the dual-haired male had just nodded.

     "why are you helping us?", todoroki asked.

     "because I want to destroy her just as much as you all do", the girl casually answered, holding a dangerous glint in her eyes.

     todoroki flinched a bit at the sudden change of attitude.

     "now, don't you want to hear my plan?", kisa innocently asked, to which todoroki was hesitant to trust the girl.

     "what's your plan? and how do I know I can trust you?"

kisa then boldly took a step towards todoroki and leaned in, to the point the girl's lips were nearly centimeters away from the boy's reddening ear.

the girl whispered with a smile as she discussed the plan, to which todoroki still seemed a bit hesitant.

"and after this, I will continue be needing your help".

"why?"

"for what reason, you don't need to know yet, but I'll tell you this. todoroki touya is alive, and if you want my help to find him...then it's in your best interest to assist me in my goals first", kisa grinned.

todoroki harshly stepped away from the smiling woman, shocked at how she knew about his long lost older brother, who most assumed was dead.

"how do you—"

"deal or no deal?", kisa interrupted, seeing as the wedding is about to start.

todoroki begrudgingly unclenched his fists as he glared at the woman in front of him. it was like he was selling his soul to the devil.

"fine. as long as you can help us".

"great doing business with you, todoroki-kun".
