Trust in Him

Chapter 5

"Lord, I need You, oh, I need You. Every hour I need You. My one defense, my righteousness. Oh God, how I need You." Hina was singing under her breath as she watched the sun rise, the sky fading from a pastel purple to a pastel pink as the sun broke over the mountains and turned everything yellow.

It's really very beautiful. But which do I like more: The sunrise or the sunset? Hm... Her eyebrows furrow as she ponders this.

"How're we doing this morning, Yaoyorozu-chan?" Hina's head snaps up as she turns to look at her nurse.

She smiles. "I'm doing well, thank you. How're you?" She'd only been in the hospital for a week, but this nurse, Kieko, had quickly become her favorite. She was always kind to Hina, and was also the only one not afraid of being in the same room as her.

Kieko smiles, giving Hina a once-over to make sure there was nothing wrong. "I'm good. The guy I've been going out with just asked me to be his girlfriend yesterday."

"Really? You better not have turned him down. From what you've told me, it sounds like he makes you really happy!" Hina grins, shifting to sit herself on her knees. "Though I may want to meet him at some point to make sure he knows not to hurt you." She winks.

Kieko waves her hand. "Of course I didn't turn him down." She points at Hina now, though. "If I let you meet him, you can't threaten him, okay? We've only known each other for a month. I don't want you scaring him off!" She laughs.

"Don't worry, don't worry. I won't threaten him. I just want to let him know that if he does hurt you, it won't be a human he's fighting against in the future. You know what God says about vengeance." Hina shrugs.

"'"Vengeance is mine, I will repay," says the Lord.'"

"Exactly. Now, I don't know about you, but I don't want to fight God. Never fight a losing battle, right?" Hina laughs, and Kieko joins her.

"Alright, well it's time for breakfast. I have your food right outside." Kieko smiles, gesturing to the door.

"OoOoo. What's for breakfast today?" Hina rubs her hands together with a grin.

"Rice, salmon, and soy sauce. With milk, of course." Kieko says as she heads to the door, wheeling the tray in.

"Sounds delicious! Thanks, Kieko."

"Anytime."

                                                                    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Wait, I get to leave?" An astonished but excited Hina stares at Kieko in shock. She quickly looks out the window at her family talking to the doctor, a grin making its way to her face.

"Yep. Your blood tests came back negative, you're healing nicely, and you haven't gone out of control once in the two weeks you've been here." Kieko responds with a small smile.

Hina turns back to Kieko. "Thank you so much for taking care of me while I've been here. You're amazing, you know that?"

"Of course I know that." Kieko teases with a grin. "Did it take you two weeks to figure that out?"

The two laugh, and Kieko steps forward to give Hina a goodbye hug.

"I'd love to see you again, but I'd rather it not be in the hospital. Stay out of trouble, okay? If anyone tries to kidnap you again, blast 'em with your Quirk. You got that?"

Hina nods. "Yeah. How about I give you my phone number? Then we can stay in contact and you can keep me updated on the boyfriend situation.

Kieko releases Hina, taking a step back and pulling out her phone. "I'd like that."

                                                                    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Momo!"

"Hina!"

The twins run toward each other as soon as Hina leaves her hospital room, each embracing the other tightly.

"Hina, I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have brought it up, I was just jealous that you were spending more and more time with him. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Momo cries, tears falling down her cheeks as she buries her face into Hina's shoulder. Her short-sleeved white dress scrunches a bit as she hugs Hina.

"Momo, I don't blame you! Please don't leave me again! I'm so sorry we fought and that you felt jealous! Please forgive me." Hina's also crying, happy to see her sister again. "Oh, Momo, I love you."

"Hina!" Kanaho and Daiki rush forward, enveloping their girls in a bear hug.

"Oh baby, I'm so glad you're alright! Lord, thank you for keeping her safe! Oh, Hina!" Tears run down Kanaho's face as she brings her arms up to cradle Hina's head, dripping onto her orange blouse.

Daiki just hugs Hina silently, leaning his head against hers and wrapping his arms around everyone. His family was finally all together again, whole, complete, and safe.

The family stays like that for a while before they eventually seperate. Hina grabs Momo's hand, though, refusing to be apart from her sister again.

"Are you ready to go home now, Hina?" Daiki asks, standing and straightening the white collar peaking out from his periwinkle sweater.

Hina nods. "I'm ready to be home again. Somewhere familiar with my family."

"Then let's head home. Come; the driver's parked out front."

The family walks through the hospital, and Daiki signs Hina out of the hospital as Kanaho walks Hina and Momo to the car.

The driver opens the door for the ladies, nodding to Hina with a smile.

"I'm glad you're back, young miss. Everyone's missed you." His tone is kind and soft, and his smile scrunches the corners of his gold eyes.

"Thank you, Tsuneo. I'm glad to be back." Hina smiles at him, climbing into the new limo after Momo. Kanaho climbs in after her daughters, tucking her long, pale green skirt under her legs as she sits. Hina snuggles up next to her mom, leaning her head on her arm as Momo snuggles against her

Daiki climbs in shortly and wraps his arms around his daughters after shutting the door behind him. The driver starts the limo up, driving the family home.

The family was finally whole, together, and complete.
