Heart of the Huntress Book 2: Feelings

Chapter 4

-the next morning-

Jiro slowly awoke, opening her eyes and looking around the infirmary, across from her sat Bakugo, Still awake, a take away cup in his hand, Dark bags hung under his eyes.

"Morning" he lightly growled.

"You really did stay up"

"Someone had to"

"I was fine"

"And as I told you, You were useless to her if you were sleep deprived" he stated Standing up with a light yawn "Cya Later Jiro"

Those three words hung in the air as he left causing Jiro to sigh, Yawning as she stretched out her back, hearing a few cracks before sighing again.

She glanced at Huntress, Who's heart monitor beeped consistently, it appeared her eyes had yet to open.

Jiro sighed as she stood up bending down placing a soft kiss on Huntress's Forehead before her tired brain could stop her.

She smiled down at Huntress before walking out and walking to the dorms.

She remained quiet as she walked in, heading to the attached kitchen and prepared her coffee, having to put mental effort into not making Huntress one like she had done for the last few weeks.

She looked out at the Loungeroom while the jug boiled and there she was, Sprawled out on the couch, Mina Ashido.

Jiro sighed as she muttered "must have tried to stay up waiting for me to come back hoping to get any information on how Huntress was"

Jiro sighed pouring the hot water into her Death wish Coffee and stirred it, before picking up her mug and walked over to the couch and took a sip from the mug in her hand.

She leaned over the back of the couch Poking Mina in the ribs causing the sleeping pinked haired Girl to slap her hand away with a groan.

Jiro rolled her eyes Poking the girl again causing another groan, But the Girl on the couch began to stir.

"Come on Mina, it's morning" Jiro stated bluntly.

She appreciated that Bakugo had allowed her to sleep last night at the risk of his own classroom performance.

"How's Huntress?" Mina questioned with a yawn as she Stretched out her stiff joints

"She's alive" Jiro stated with a sigh "that's all that matters right now"

"Has she woken up yet?"

"No" Jiro stated sipping at her coffee as Momo walked into the loungeroom.

"Morning Mina" Momo said walking down the hall before looking at Jiro and walking over with a smile "Morning Kyoka" was all She said Trailing her nail Under Jiro's chin.

"M-morning M-momo" Jiro stammered out with a smile of her own.

Momo simply walked into the kitchen beginning to make herself a morning tea.

Jiro sighed continuing to sip her coffee while trying to forget what Momo had just done, but also having to stop herself from looking at Huntress's room, her heart sinking as she remembered what had happened just the afternoon before.

"Hey Jiro" Momo started catching the Smaller Girl's attention "is Huntress alright?, Aizawa pushed an email out to the dorm and the boys of Bakugo's little group"

Jiro sighed sitting down as she said "Yes, but no, If your really asking if she's Alive then yes, if you instead asking If she's Awake then the answer is no"

Momo simply nodded looking at Jiro with sadness as she said "Is she hurt?"

Jiro simply nodded hiding behind her black Death wish Coffee which she quickly finished and walked into her room, placing her empty mug down on her bedside table before walking to her closet and pulling out a fresh out outfit knowing her shirt had blood on it.

She grabbed a change of underwear and her towel before walking to the showers.

Once she walked in she noticed that Mina's make up was all over one of the many Sinks which Jiro Tidied for the pink Skinned girl before getting into the Shower, Turning the water on, and waited for it to warm up.

Once it was warm Jiro Stripped down and got under the water, Sighing as the warm water beat against her skin, Washing away any leftover blood on her arms, metaphorically washing away the last twelve hours.

She ran her fingers through her hair the water flowing over her skin, Cleansing her body.

She couldn't help as light sighs slipped past her lips, the warm water against her Skin feeling heavenly.

Jiro bent over ever so slightly placing a hand on the wall while her head sat under the Warm water.

Huntress filling her mind, the state of her back, The deep nearly holes in the girl's back Filled Jiro's Mind, it made her sick to the stomach but also tears filled her eyes.

Jiro Lifted her head allowing her face to be bombarded with water which washed away the tears allowing Jiro to pull herself together.

"Huntress is fine, she's Alive, she's going to he alright" Jiro told herself on repeat until she got out of the shower, getting dressed into a black my chemical romance shirt, and a pair of jeans.

It was the weekend which meant she didn't have classes for a few days, which made it weirder that Bakugo came to watch over Huntress last night.

"I should thank him" Jiro thought as she Hung up her towel in her room, Dropping her blood stained Shirt into her hamper with her skirt and Underwear before collapsing onto her bed, her heavy eyes staring up at the Ceiling.

After a moment she quickly got up, Grabbing her mug and walked to the kitchen placing her mug in the sink before leaning on the counter, Staring at Huntress's room.

She had no idea how it looked now, Images of what I looked like yesterday flashed through her head, the piles of black and red Wings churned her stomach, making her feel sick.

"How could someone do that to themselves" Jiro muttered to herself before sighing.

At that moment Akira walked into with some cleaning supplies, heading towards Huntress's room but stopped in his tracks when he saw Jiro.

"What are you doing here?" He questioned looking at her.

"I could ask you the same thing" JIro shot back.

"I'm here to finish cleaning Huntress's room, last thing she'll need is a reminder" Akira explained before adding "you still haven't answered me"

"I live here" Jiro stated bluntly.

Akira nodded walking into Huntress's room and closing the door behind him.

Jiro sighed as she held her head In her hands, not knowing what to think or do in this situation.

They had taught them about civilians getting hurt and how to handle that but not how to handle a friend getting hurt.

She sighed again, finding herself doing it alot that morning pulling her head from her hands and walked into her room

She pulled on a pair of socks from her draws and pulled on her Converses before picking up a back pack and walking out, Leaving the UA grounds, and began Walking around the town.

She found a nice park with a view of the water, she quickly found a seat under a tree before retrieving a notebook from her backpack and a mechanical pencil.

She opened the book to a fresh page and began Scribbling away.
