Okami's P.O.V.

I lay restless in the uncomfortable hospital bed, tossing and turning all night, no matter how much I try I simply cannot trick myself into getting any sort of sleep as the fear of my grandfather is to prominent in my mind. I soon give up on sleep and instead sit up and stare out of the dark window displaying the bright city surrounding us. I look down at the mass of cars and pedestrians and wonder to myself how they manage to cope with this lifestyle, I for one am finding it extremely difficult to cope with all of the changes. Maybe this just isn't for me, after all I can't even deal with a little childhood trauma.

"What's on your mind Okami?" I hear a quiet voice in the doorway ask, I look over only to see a heavily bandaged, tired looking, Aizawa. I look at him for a second trying to study his expression only to come up with nothing so I instead glance back out the window

"How do you do it sir?" The sound came out a a quiet whisper, but I'm sure he heard it, he's a hero after all

"Do what Okami?" He slowly walks over sitting in the chair laid neatly beside the bed, probably by Toshinori

"Cope, with all of this" I say directing to the large bright city outside my window

"You'll get there Okami, It just takes time. Everyone understands that you're not used to this environment, and we're all willing to be patient with you." 

"And I appreciate everything that has been done for me" I look down fiddling with the sheets in my hands "But why me? I'm not special, I'm just another kid"

"If you believe that Okami then you are very mistaken. You are a very strong young girl destined to do something amazing, all you needed was a little guidance and look how far you've already come"

I look at him and see nothing but genuine emotion in his eyes, "d-do you mind telling me about my parents?" I ask quietly earning a small smile from the man in front of me 

"Of course, what would you like to know?"

"Well what were they like? In your point of view"

He chuckles slightly leaning back in his chair slightly "Well your mother was a very sweet woman, she was always focused and determined to get out in the world. She said that we all shouldn't dwell on the past and instead focus on the future" he closes his eyes gently as if putting himself back in the situation "Your father on the other hand" he says chuckling shaking his head "he and Hizashi were the troublemakers of our grade, he and your mother were complete opposites, but you know something?" I look up at him my curiosity peeked "You will never find a couple more in love" he said smiling.

We sat like that for the rest of the night, simply talking. At first it was my parents and then it turned to school and everyone they knew. It made me happy, knowing a little more about my parents.

I watched as Aizawa glances out the window, watching as the sun slowly rises above the clouds

"We've been talking all night" He says glancing over at me for a short moment

"I guess we have" I say stretching out my aching limbs and straightening my posture slightly "Today i get to leave the hospital, Toshi says the detective has a few questions for me" I say yawning watching the male. 

Aizawa nods in response and gets up stretching his legs "I'm sure he'll be here soon, I'll see you when you return to school Okami" he states leaving using his arm to gently close the door. I nod at him as he leaves and then slowly turn setting my legs gently on the ground and jumping off nearly falling, I stumble slightly holding onto the edge of the bed testing my fumbling legs as they slowly regain their strength. I take a few cautious steps before finally letting go of the railing walking around on my own.

"Okami?" I hear from the door and jump stumbling back falling. I look at the door my eyes wide with panic only to find a shocked Toshinori standing there his hand rested on the door handle "Oh are you alright?!" He asks rushing over, I sigh in relief relaxing and shakily getting to my feet once again

"I-I'm alright, you startled me that's all" I say sheepishly as I rub the back of my neck, a habit I picked up from the male in front of me. 

"Oh I'm very sorry" he says chuckling standing looking me over "Are you feeling better than yesterday?" I nod in response playing with my tail

"Do I get to leave now?" I ask hope filling my eyes, he chuckles slightly and nods handing me some of the clothing from my draws. I smile appreciatively and take them heading to the bathroom to change.

I lock the door getting out of the hospital attire and into some blue trackies and a white shirt, comfy. I walk out and smile at Toshinori as I walk over standing beside him

"I'm ready" I chirp and he nods leading me out of the building, as we walk out I examine the hospital. Sure I've been to something like this before but these places always fqacinate me, they're always so clean! Besides the highly strong smell of disinfectant and the white and blue clothing everywhere, it doesn't seem so bad. Toshi suddenly stops making me accidentally run into his back, I look up at him muttering an apology before looking around again. We're at the car, I must have spaced out.

"Alright young Okami, let's get you in the comfort of home" he says opening my door, I nod hopping in and fiddling with my fingers until we arrive at the apartment buildings again.

"We're here" I hear Toshi say as he offers me a small smile, I return his smile walking with him up and into the apartment only to be greeted by two men sitting on the couch. One I recognise as the detective, and the other I don't, he has the head of a dog and seems to here to observe. I look up at Toshinori confused, but I then remeber what he told me yesterday and sigh quietly,

"I thought you weren't coming until later" Toshi says looking at the detective, I look at the ground kicking my feet as to not draw any attention to myself

"We were, but we realised this case was to important to put to the side" 

"But Okami only just got out of the hospital, she hasn't even settled" Toshi says sighing the detective stays quiet for a moment before looking at me. I tense slightly under his gaze but look at him as to not be rude, he smiles gently standing and walking over,

"Is it alright with you if we do this now so that we can get out of your hair?" he asks smiling at me, I bite my lip not wanting to be questioned but also not wanting to be a burden on Toshi. 

I sigh before looking him in the eyes "Alright, we can do it now"
