The Dragon & The Kitsune.

Chapter 76 - Rhyki.

Two long weeks had passed since Izuku had fallen into a coma and none of the Ragtags were themselves still. Sure, Rhyki was still brash and all that shit, but truthfully speaking, she just wanted that giant fucker of her brother to wake the fuck up already and reassure them all that he was truly alright. Kirishima was pretty much a shell of himself, barely spoke or smiled, and always wore one of Izuku's hoodies. The rest of the group did too, but were nothing like how Kirishima was. The red headed teen had seen his family the following day after the whole fight thing, and after sleeping all through the night, with a lot of hugs and tears were shed as they clasped each other tightly in relief they were ok. 

The whole group, and their families, had sat down privately in Rhyki's home the day after the Kirishima's and others had reunited, along with hugging her Aunt Nem tightly in relief too, and she'd explained everything that had happened with Izuku after being questioned of where he was, therefore meaning even more tears as parents became exceedingly worried for the large teen who had quickly become part of their family, as had the other Ragtag members. Upon hearing this, Bella had screamed out in pure anguish learning that her big fox-bro/hero/cooking buddy was in a coma after saving them, with Kirishima quickly wrapping his arms around her as they collapsed to the floor, crying silently as well, while she kept on denying it and slamming her little fists into her brother's chest, before succumbing to sleep from emotional exhaustion. 

The little girl had woken a few hours later, tucked up on the couch in one of Izuku's hoodies and a large blanket wrapped around her. Rhyki would never deny at hearing how she'd screamed so painfully, had hurt her heart, no soul, and neither would anyone else. The precious girl, who they all outright adored, was given one of Nem's prized fox teddies that Izuku had handmade her when he was about ten (which was pretty much the double of Syrinx but with orange coloured eyes), that she clung to desperately and since then, hadn't let it go and promised to look after it which had made everyone smile softly. Anything to give her a little bit of comfort, which had been Nemuri's aim. They'd heard from Recovery Girl at the weekend that he was due to wake up at any moment now, but it was all in Izuku's hands now.

 It was now Friday, being the second week and in the first week of being back to school, after last week had been closed due to the big fight. Thankfully none of the class had uttered a single word to them when they'd returned, instead opting to ignore them, and possibly feeling the tension from the group. Rhyki had later found out from her dad that Nezu and Baines had spoken to them before they'd arrived and given them swift warnings and if anything was said, then severe punishments, that clearly worked. Two days ago, a press conference had been given, consisting of Baines, Nezu, Aizawa, Vlad King, a fully healed Midnight and All Might, informing everyone of what had transpired. Mr. Baines, being careful of his words, had let the world know of who the mystery person had been who'd fought All For One instead of All Might, stating that he was an underground pro hero who worked for him specifically, along with his partner Pyro that they'd seen with Mirko, who had been tasked with the takedown and full acceptance of the KOS order of the vile number one villain of the world, which had shocked an awful lot of people who had heard this. 

Civilians and the press had speculated as to how the man had stayed hidden and undetected for so long, then Nezu chimed in that they'd previously thought that All Might had killed him a few years past in a secret battle after smashing his head into the floor, but they hadn't countered in that All For One clearly had people working for him in the scientific field that had restored him enough to what had been witnessed during the battle. Luckily that had calmed those questions, until All Might had remarked about stepping away pretty much entirely from hero work and would retire within the next few months or so, due to the secret fight taking out more than he had anticipated previously and had swiftly caught up with him these past months, so he just wanted to focus on being there wholeheartedly for the next generation of heroes to take over his place when they were ready.
