The Little Sister | A One Punch Man Fanfiction

Chapter 21

               I sat up on my bed, breathing heavily, as I woke up from another nightmare.

I turned my head to the clock, only to see that it was only one in the morning.

"How many times have I woken up again?" I muttered as I lied back down. "I guess that movie was considered the most horrifying for a reason."

I tried my best to go back to sleep, but to no avail. I turned my gaze to the clock again to check on the time.

"1:10 am." I muttered.

"Damn it."

~*~*~*~

"Good morning, Suzuno." Saitama greeted me as I walk down the stairs. "Guess I'm not the only one who woke up an hour early."

He then turned to me with a smile to throw a clever comment, but then he saw my current state.

"What happened to you?!" He asked.

"Couldn't sleep." I mutterd.

"Was that movie THAT bad?" He asked in disbelief, and I only nodded. "Well, how are you feeling?"

"I feel like dying." I joked, followed by a small chuckle that came out rather darkly. "Well, my head hurts like hell."

He then touched my forehead, before he went to go get a thermometer. He shoved it in my mouth before he lead me to my chair.

I sat down, before he placed my breakfast infront of me.

Pancakes?

Once he heard the thermometer beep, signaling that it got my temperature, he took it from my mouth before I began to eat.

"42°C." I heard him mutter. "You weren't getting enough sleep these past couple of days, huh?"

"I don't know about you, but I seem to be able to survive just fine with only 5-6 hours of sleep." I informed him.

"That's not good for your health!" He scolded as I continue to eat. "That's it, you're staying in bed."

"Oh come on.." I whined.

"It's decided, you're staying in bed." He shot back. "Once you're done with breakfast, you will go rest in your room."

I glared at him, but eventually gave up upon the feeling my head throb even more. "Fine, fine!"

"I'll tell Genos about your condition later when he wakes up." He added.

Once I finished eating, Saitama gave me some medicine, before he escorted me back to my room.

I laid down, and let him cover my body with the sheets.

"Now go get some sleep." He ordered. "Or do I have to sing you a lullaby?" He joked.

I snickered at this, "You? Sing? I might never wake up if you do that."

"Hey, you're great at singing, and you're my sister. Maybe I can learn how to sing." I laughed at this.

"Yeah, yeah, MAYBE you can learn how to sing." I admitted. "And then somehow still be terrible at it."

"Hey!" He yelled, obviously offended, before we both erupted into laughter.

"Anyways, go get some sleep. I'll be downstairs if you need me." And with that he left.

With a sigh, I got into a comfortable position, and closed my eyes. It took a while before sleep welcomed me with open arms, and thankfully, it was a dreamless sleep this time.

~*~*~*~

Waking up, I turned to look at the clock, only to see that it was already 12.

"5 hours of sleep?" I thought out loud. "Well at least I don't feel like hell now."

I then began to contemplate if I should go down to eat, or go back to sleep, until I heard a loud explosion outside. I quickly got up and ran to my window, only to see a couple of fire giants in the distance. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that Genos was there, fighting them alone.

I quickly went downstairs, hoping to see Saitama, but he wasn't there. Where the hell is he?!

A growl escaped my lips, before I ran back in my room. I quickly changed into my hero attire, and left. I skated my way to the area only to see Genos was having a hard time taking care of the problem.

"They haven't noticed me yet." I muttered, as I readied myself, taking the chance to give them deep cuts on their ankles, just like what I did with the frost giant.

I watched as they fell on their knees, one by one, as I wiped off the blood that got on my face with my jacket's sleeve.

"Suzuno!" I heard Genos called out. I turned around, only to see the cyborg running towards me.

"What are you doing here? You should be in bed!" He scolded as he stood by my side.

"I'm fine!" I shot back as I turned my gaze back to the fire giants. "Where's my brother? Why are you fighting alone?!"

"Sensei left to buy a few things before this all happened." He answered. "And the rest of the S-class heroes are at City B, fighting off the frost giants."

"And they left you to fight the fire giants alone?" I asked.

"Not exactly, I wasn't planning on coming to help them with the frost giants, knowing that they can handle it. Sometime later, these fire giants showed up here in city Z. I reported it to the Hero Association before I went in battle, and apparently they were still dealing with the frost giants." He informed.

"Well ain't that perfect." I muttered as I try to shake off the blood on my blades, before I returned them to their hidden state. "Let's just finish them off, should be easier now that they won't be able to move much."

"Let's go."
