My Hero Academia: Shōta Aizawa x Akemi Yuriemoto (Aizawa)

Chapter 163: "I have a business proposition for you..."

The song: Liar Liar from Avicii was playing in the background as Shota and Akemi were introduced to the owner of this particular establishment. Shota made sure that Akemi was seated. Akemi smiled as she gracefully took her seat while delicately holding onto his hand. "Why thank you darling."

"Of course my dear." He winked, "I may be a notorious crime lord, but I'm still a gentleman."

Akemi giggled softly as he kissed her hand with a devilish smirk. If any undercover cop had been observing them and was later asked if they could even tell if the couple was faking their identities or not, chances are the undercover cop wouldn't be able to tell if they were faking it or not.

Shota was internally smirking and he chuckled as Akemi spoke while playfully swatting his shoulder. "Oh stop it Hayato, you're making me blush."

Shota smirked as she played her role well. He and leaned over towards her and spoke. "Ohhh, so I'm embarrassing you now aren't I?"

"Yes you big flirt. So stop it and save it for later once we're back home."

Shota took her chin within his hand and whispered. "Ohhh I'm sure I can do better once we're home."

He kissed her lips but there was a sudden abrupt cough and a deep voice interrupting them. "You lovebirds done yet?"

They both parted, smirking to themselves over playing all these idiot criminals like pawns on a chess board before turning to address the man sitting at the table.

The forty year old man had a massive cigar hanging from his mouth. He was wearing a stripped blueish-grey suite and white tie. He was eyeing Shota down before shifting his gaze towards Akemi.

"She's yours I take it?"

"If you're insinuating that she's like your little dancing ballerina dolls, then no. She's not mine. She is not a prostitute, she is my girl and my personal confidant during business transactions. So hands off unless your wanting me to get violent. I'd advice against that because I just got this suit custom made."

"Bold talk boy..."

Shota smirked and propped his boots up onto the table. "Yeah well I'm kinda known for it. So I'd get used to it quick. Oh and don't call me boy or I might just lose my temper."

The man smirked, "You've got a devil may care attitude, I can respect that." He tapped his massive cigar against the ash tray. "You smoke?"

"No, can't stand the smell, and I'll pass on the drinks. Wouldn't want to accidentally punch your teeth out in a drunken stupor now would we?"

Akemi rolled her eyes and spoke as she placed a hand on Shota's shoulder. "Hayato enough taunting we're here for business remember."

Shota smirked softly at her. "Apologies my dear." He kissed her hand before speaking bluntly towards the man in front of him. "I'm sure you haven't heard of me before and honestly that doesn't matter right now. What matters is unlike other crime bosses in the black market I run a tight knit group. Those who break the code get snuffed out like a dying flame. I'm here because I have a business proposition for you. That is if you're willing to listen to what I have to say?"

"Depends on what you got to offer?"

"How about a way to stop the cops and all those pro hero's from busting down on your human trafficking gigs."

The man arched a brow as he lit another massive cigar. "I'm listening..."

Shota and Akemi shared glances with matching smirks. "Well my girl here has a rather useful little quirk. She can create a paralytic cocktail that, once injected into their blood, can leave the cops and the pro hero's totally incapacitated."

Akemi smirked and spoke. "My quirk is similar to the pro hero Stingray and Harionago but unlike their quirks, mine is not only a paralytic quirk it also eats away at the cells and rots the flesh from bone until they have to amputate. Just one drop of my barbs toxins can cripple a pro hero in seconds and I have the means of mass producing these toxins. Combining my knowledge of chemistry with the molecular composition of my toxins I am capable of creating a deadly counterattack for your business when fighting against the law."

The man was impressed. "Well I'm certainly interested but...how do I know you're words are genuine."

Akemi stared him down as her hair grew and traveled around the entire dance club virtually unnoticed. She aimed her tiny stingray barbs at every sleazy scumbag in the vicinity and spoke with a playful smirk towards the boss.

"Oh I don't expect you too. Trust must be earned, so why don't I just show you?"

She jabbed every lowlife goon in the ankles and heard their bodies hitting the floor but her eyes widened when she realized her toxins weren't affecting their boss. Within seconds of jabbing him the man pulled a six barreled pistol on her before she could react as he removed the safety off the gun.

"Did you really think I'd be affected sweetheart? A pity for you that my mutation quirk means I'm immune to your little toxins."

Shota's eyes widened. He had a mutation based quirk! The boss was about to shoot the gun but a metal knuckle suddenly connected against his face with a deafening sound! The boss was knocked out cold on the ground.

Shota snarled panting heavily and swiftly turned to Akemi. "Thank God I was here Akemi!"

He picked up the gun and removed the bullets before tossing it far from his line of sight. He looked at her with horror in his eyes and a slight tremor in his normally deep monotonous voice. "If you had come on your own then..."

Akemi kissed him to silence him from continuing down that train of thought before speaking towards him. "I know Sho, I'm glad you're here with me."

She then turned towards the now stunned and slightly terrified stage dancers wearing the quirk restraining bracelets. She spoke soothingly towards them. "We're pro hero's we've come to free you from this vile place. Please let us help you get those vile restraints off your wrists. The police will be here shortly and they will take you all somewhere safe and lock up these criminals."

All the girls heard her and tears instantly fell as they collapsed onto their knees crying in gratitude and Akemi smiled softly as she helped remove their restraints and hugged them all while whispering. "Your safe now..."

The cheers of gratitude were unanimous. "Thank you! Oh Thank you!"

Shota smiled in pride as he took the quirk restraining bracelets and rightly used them against the crime boss and his goons before finally tying their wrists behind their backs.

This was the reason they were pro's.

It's like what Eri said... They fight to save people, and they'll keep saving people because they're good at it.
