Third Person POV:

Keigo and Touya walk into one of the common rooms, where Shouto and Izuku were talking with Uraraka, Hitoshi, and Tsuyu.

"Hitoshi, we need to get back to our kingdom as soon as possible." Touya says. Thankfully, his energy was back enough to stand on his own.

The purplette nods. "Yes, Your Majesty." He says. "We can get a carriage for you?"

Keigo turns his head when he hears a pattering of soft footsteps. A young girl comes into the room, with short white hair. A huge grin was on her face the moment she saw the Uraraka.

"OCHAKO-CHAN!!" The little girl squeals, jumping onto the brunette.

"Eri!" Uraraka says. "How are you?"

The girl pulls back. "Hitoshi-nii has been teaching me about A-NI-MALS!" She says, pronouncing the word with pursed lips.

Uraraka laughs. "What have you learned about?" She asks.

"DUCKS!" Eri says, jumping up and throwing her arms in the air. "And GOOSES!"

"Geese, Eri, geese." Hitoshi reminds his sister with a smile. "It's plural." Eri sticks her tongue out at Hitoshi.

A cat jumped onto Eri's shoulder. She giggles and pets the kitten, which purrs as it nuzzles into Eri's hair. She sneezes and laughs again when the cat's tail touches her nose.

"Eri, you're not supposed to be here." King Shota Aizawa says, entering the room. "Go to your room."

The girl sighs, and pouts as she hugs Uraraka, Tsuyu, and Izuku again before trudging out of the room and presumably to hers. Aizawa eyes the group with a raised eyebrow, asking them silently what was going on.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but we knew Uraraka would be here." Shouto says. "And we needed a witch to help us."

Aizawa sighs. "I suppose that is logical." He says. "What happened so you needed a witch?"

"The capital kidnapped Touya-nii so we had to go and rescue him but then we we got there we realized Touya-nii was under a spell and also another witch cast another spell on Izuku so then we had to run and found ourselves here." Shouto explains in one breath.

Aizawa blinks. "I'm too tired for this." He mutters, walking away.

Izuku and Keigo blink in unison. "Oookay.." Keigo says. "Now we really need to go home."

Hitoshi nods, and points to a hallway behind Izuku. "The carriages are that way, C'mon." He says, walking into the doorway.

They all follow him and end up in a huge stable with several carriages.

"Well, we can take a simple one, we don't need something flashy." Touya says. "Actually, let's get the opposite of flashy, thanks."

Hitoshi nods and walks over to one that matches the description.

"This is good." Touya says.

...

They sat in silence the entire ride. Shouto and Izuku on one side while Keigo and Touya sat on the other.

When the carriage stopped, the four got off. "Okay, we should go and find Natsuo-" Touya starts.

"TOUYA-NII!" They heard yelling from the huge doors of the castle. They all turned and saw Natsu running full speed towards them. When he got to them, he latched onto Touya in a bear hug. "They did it!" He exclaims, pulling away. "The doctors found a cure!"

Touya stares at him. "Are they giving it to Fuyumi?" He asks.

Natsu shakes his head. "They said that they needed you to be present for it." He says. "We have to go, come on."

Touya, Natsuo, and Shouto rush up the steps and into the castle. Keigo and Izuku don't follow, knowing it's a private family matter. The siblings rush into the hospital wing and into Fuyumi's room, where six doctors and one witch were waiting.

"Your Majesty." A doctor says. "Thank goodness you're here, she's almost at the end of stage five."

"Just do it." He says.

The doctor with the syringe nods, and the witch starts chanting a prayer. The doctor with the syringe moves over to Fuyumi's side, and Touya looks at Fuyumi's face. The entire right side of her face was covered in small red splotches and dots, her lips were blue and her cheeks were sunken. Her face was clammy and looking hot to the touch. She looked ten years older than she was.

The doctor gently injects the medicine into Fuyumi's neck. When she pulls the needle out, Touya frowned.

"Is it not working?" Shouto asks.

"It's working, it just takes time." A doctor says. "The only immediate effect is it stops the disease from growing. It'll take time for the disease to actually leave."

The witch switches her prayers, and Touya frowns at Fuyumi with worry.

But even now they could see the red dots covering her face were already slowly fading, and the frown on Fuyumi's face was easing to a resting one.

Shouto and Natsuo exchanged a glance. Natsuo placed a hand on Touya's shoulder, steering him out of the room. The brothers sat down in the separate room that was before Fuyumi's room, and just stayed quiet.

"How long until we can wide-spread the cure?" Touya mutters after a few minutes of silence, staring at the ground.

Natsuo sighs. "I don't know." He replies.

"I feel bad we just left Izuku and Keigo behind." Shouto says, glancing at the door. "But how long until Fuyumi gets better?"

Natsuo shakes his head. "I don't know." He repeats himself.

"How many people are dying from the disease at this rate." Shouto asks, more of a rhetorical question than anything.

But Natsuo takes it literal. "I don't know!" He yells, covering his face with his hands. Shouto and Touya stare at him, surprised by his outburst. Then Touya stares at him in horror. He's getting stressed because I left. He thinks. Touya leans forward and hugs his brother. Natsuo immediately sinks into the hug, sighing. "Sorry." He mumbles.

"It's fine." Shouto says. "We're all stressed right now."

A doctor came out of the room, clipboard in hand. "Your Highness, Your Majesty." He says, bowing at each prince(and king). "Her Highness is already on a fast track to recovery, though we need her to stay asleep for the majority of her resting time."

"How quickly can you distribute the cure?" Touya questions.

"We'll be able to mass distribute the cure by the next full moon." The doctor says, smiling.

Touya nods, standing up. Natsuo and Shouto stand up after him, and follow him out the door. Once they got outside the hospital wing, Natsuo spoke up. "Touya-nii, there's a meeting between all the kingdoms. And you've been requested." He says.

"Alright." He says, sighing. "I'll go, you guys go and find Keigo and Izuku."

The two younger brother's nod.

Once they part ways, Touya sighs and rubs his temples with his fingers. Things were starting to look up for his kingdom, so why is he feeling this sort of dread?
