((Thank you guys so much for the 200+ reads! ^~^ Also, I'm currently thinking about making a Dabi x Reader story. Should I? Let me know.))

I walked into the apartment, Hitoshi following close behind me. Almost immediately we were greeted by the sound or frantic yelling. Masaru rushed into the living room upon hearing our entrance.

"We got to go to the hospital," Masaru quickly explained, marching past me and into the kitchen. "WHERE THE FUCK ARE THOSE PILLS?!" Masaru suddenly screamed, ripping out the drawers.

I flinched and took a step back, bumping into Hitoshi. "Masaru, what happened?" Hitoshi asked.

"Villain," That was all Masaru said before Dad rounded the corner. I tilted my head. They never stressed over villains.

"Dad-"

Dad looked at Hitoshi and spoke, "Hitoshi, boy-o, you might want to come back later. Its not the best time," He spoke in a calm voice, handing Masaru the medicines that helped with his anxiety.

Hitoshi only nodded his head in an understand way before looking at me, "Call me later, okay?" He mumbled before pressing a quick kiss to me lips.

"I will," I replied, watching him walk out the door.

I turned my attention back to the two boys and spoke, "Why are you guys stressing over villains? Its not a rare occurance," I stated.

Dad looked at me, and for the first time I noticed that he was on the verge of crying. My heart skipped a beat in my chest as we looked at each other.

"...They're in the hospital," Masaru suddenly spoke.

As soon as we were out of the car, Masaru and I took a dead sprint into the hospital. Masaru was the first one in the doors, then me, and Dad following behind.

Dad pushed Masaru behind him and spoke in a rather frantic voice, "Rei, Junko, and Natsumi Hikawa?" He asked.

The nurse, who had been shocked at our sudden entrance, quickly scanned through the papers. "U-Uhm, level 2, room 4 and 5," She quickly stated.

"What about Rio Hikawa?" Dad asked.

"Sh-she's still under the knife, sir," The lady reported, "We'll call for you once we have results,"

Dad only nodded his head. Masaru wasted no time in running up the stairs, despite the elevator only feet away from us. Dad and I rode the elevator in silence and saw Masaru already half way towards the room as we got out.

"You go to room five," He looked at me, "I'll be there in a bit,"

I nodded my head and quickly walked towards the room. I didn't bother knocking in the door as I pushed it open. Laying in the bed was Natsumi. She had a bandage on her cheek and head, and her arm in a cast. She was asleep. Next to her, sitting in a chair was Shin'ichi. He was still in his hero costume and a stressed look gathered onto his face.

He looked up at me, guilt swarming his dark eyes. I walked over and placed a hand on Natsumi's leg, looking at her as she stirred. Slowly, her green eyes fluttered open and she looked around the room.

"H-Hey, Mi-Mi," I greeted, my voice shaking.

Her green eyes snapped towards me and immediately a bright smile gathered on her lips, "You came," She was whispering due to not speaking.

I couldn't help but smile at her, "Of course I did," I stated, "Y-You're my sister,"

"How's Grandma Rio?" Natsumi swiftly changed the subject, "What about Junko? And Rei? Are they okay?" She raved.

I moved to sit next to her on the bed, running my fingers through her hair as I looked at her. "Junko and Rei are fine," I informed, not wanting to tell her about Grandma Rio.

Natsumi looked at me, waiting for me to tell her about the elder. "K-Kaede?" She whispered, tears filling her eyes, "I-Is she still alive?" Natsumi asked quietly.

I nodded my head, suddenly finding myself crying.  "Y-Yeah," I wiped the tears off of my cheeks, "Sh-She's still alive," I assured.

Natsumi looked up at me, "Th-Then why are you crying?" She asked quietly.

"Because," I began, "I was so worried about you guys," I replied, sending her a small smile.

I felt a hand being placed on my shoulder and I turned my head to see Shin'ichi looking down at me. I sent him a smile and spoke, "You did good keeping them safe, Shin'ichi,"

He shook his head slightly, "Not good enough," He whispered, "Go check on the other two girls, I'm sure they'd appreciate it, and send Dad and the boys over," He murmured.

After talking to all of the girls for a while, I decided to get some fresh air. I sighed and sat down in the grass surrounding the small pond. I pulled out my phone and quickly called Hitoshi. It rang a few times before I heard a hoarse voice on the other side.

"Hey babe," Hitoshi greeted.

"Hi," I responded, looking at the moon's reflection.

"How are they?" Hitoshi asked quietly.

"The girls are fine," I reported, "But as for my grandmother...she's still in surgery. She should be out in about an hour," I informed quietly.

After a moment Hitoshi spoke back up, "Are you okay?"

I sucked in air through my teeth, pulling my legs up to my chest and spoke, "N-Not really, I'm worried out of my fucking mind," I muttered.

"I'm sorry, babe," Hitoshi stated, "I'll stop by after school tomorrow," He informed.

"Thanks," I mumbled, "Look, I should go back inside. I'd prefer to here about Grandma Rio from a nurse," I stated.

"Alright," He replied, "I love you babe,"

"I love you too, bye," I mumbled as I hung up.

With a sigh, I got up and began heading towards the hospital, my hands being shoved deep within my pockets.
