Sans had already flown away by the time the group made it outside of the hospital.

"Guys!" screamed a voice from afar. They looked over and saw Agnes and Aghavni running towards them. 

"What happened, rumor has it that Sans was all beaten up!" shouted Aghavni.

"Yeah, and she bolted and now we can't find her!" responded Isa. Agnes looked worried, but she didn't understand just how bad the situation was. Aghavni did. She looked ten times worse.

"UGHHHH She could be ANYWHERE!" shouted Vortex in frustration.

"Ok ok ok," Erza took a deep breath. "We split up into pairs and find her. Agnes, Aghavni, you take the village, Vortex and Mimu, you take the mountains, Tamashi, looks like you're gonna be alone sorry but uh you check around the houses and the outskirts of the forest. Isa and I will check the forests around this area," she finished. Everyone nodded and Isa pulled out her phone to call Millie for assistance.

They split up and began the search. Tamashi flew to the forest surrounding their house and landed a good couple miles away from it. He conjured up the abilities of speed and infrared vision and began his search.

He ran in a circle around the forest, surrounding the house. When he finally made it, the sun was setting. He was about to go check in the house when he saw something.

Amongst the dull yellow color of the house, a dark shade of red poked out from the other side of the roof. Sans.

Tamashi instinctively ran towards her, but then thought that she wasn't going to talk easily. He needed a game plan, and suddenly he thought of one. He went inside the house and began his plan, hoping that Sans wouldn't fly away.

After about thirty minutes, his culinary disaster was completed. What could win a girl better than tacos with terrible tasting homemade shells, over cooked steak, and sloppily chopped cilantro and onions? It was bad, but he had given it his all.

Tamashi called his friends and told them not to worry, he had found her, but he needed them to stay away from the house for a while longer. Finally, Tamashi puffed out his chest and headed for the door. He went to the back of the house and flew slowly up to the top. He rested his elbow on the roof with the other arm behind him holding his plate of failure. It was quiet and Tamashi almost didn't want to break it, but he did what he had to do.

"Hey," he said. Sans jumped slightly and lifted her head from her knees. Her eyes were puffy and red and her cheeks had red tear stains. She had tied her hoodie around her waist and thrown her combat boots and axe to the side. She saw him and put her head back in her knees.

"How's the weather up here?" he asked. Still no response. "Hey, um, are you okay? Do you feel, err, good?" He asked awkwardly. Sans grunted and lifted her head slightly so she could look at him.

"Not good eh? Do you wanna maybe..." spoke Tamashi as he revealed the plate of tacos,"taco 'bout it?" He asked with a proud grin on his face. Sans placed her chin on her knees and cracked a tiny smile. He took this as his cue to approach. He climbed onto the roof and scooted towards her.

"Come on Sans, you know that around me you can come out of your shell!" he joked. Sans suddenly pulled him over and hugged him. She began to sob into his hoodie and ramble about all the things that happened. It was cliché, but Tamashi wasn't complaining. He hugged Sans back and comforted her. Sans had to hunch down to hug him and Tamashi's head barely reached her shoulder, which was uncomfortable, but neither of them wanted to let go.

Sans had her legs apart so Tamashi could reach her and they sat there, under the stars, on the roof of the house. Each of them crying into the others shoulder, letting every thought of sadness, hatred and misery slip away along with the tears.
