Okami's P.O.V

I walk into the small living room sitting on the couch nervously fiddling with my clammy fingers. I'm usually quite hard to read in stressful situations. But due to recent events, I may as well be an open book.
I sit on my hands in order to stop my fidgeting, Toshinori notices this though and furrows his eyebrows crossing his arms over his chest,

"Okami if you're uncomfortable then we don't have to do this now. I'm sure everyone understands your situation" Toshinori says in a soothing tone and I swallow the bile in my throat taking in a few deep breaths in order to calm my panicking heart,

"It's okay, I just want to get this over and done with" After a while of looking through a few things the detective looks up at me examining me carefully before clearing his throat

"We are going to ask you a few questions Okami, please let us know if any of these make you uncomfortable in any way and we will stop immediately" I nod in response looking at him clearing my mind of all bad thoughts. Right now I am answering questions about a case, not ranting about my issues. "Alright first of all, prior to the incident at the USJ had you spoken or seen your grandfather at all?" 

"No sir, prior to the incident I hadn't had any contact with him since I escaped" I answer truthfully swallowing harshly, this situation was making me uncomfortable and I'm not the only one that can see that. 

"Alright, what about the villains. Did you recognise any of them?" he asks scanning me for any signs of weakness, but I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of knowing that I was uncomfortable. So I sit up straight my eyes stone as I give him simple answers not going into any detail. I was never a fan of the Authorities, even before the incident with my parents maybe I've always has a phobia of Authoritative figures, particularly the ones that abuse their power. 

After a while of asking and answering questions, the detective finally gets everything he needs and leaves without a second word, I watched him quietly carefully examining his every move. At first I thought he was a good person when I first arrived, but now something about him just rubs me the wrong way. 

Toshinori walks back over after grabbing some tea from the kitchen and sits calmly beside me.

"Are you alright, young Okami?" he asks with a hint of worry, I nod quietly offering him a small smile

"I'm absolutely fine" I hum in reply, I would never tell Toshinori what I truly thought of the detective, after all he has expressed fondness for the man, and I would never ruin their bond over a stupid assumption of mine, after all I do have a tendency to be quite stupid. 
We sit in a comfortable silence simply enjoying each others presence as he quietly sips on his tea, although I take a quick trip to my bedroom to retrieve some work, may as well be productive while I'm healing.

"um, young Okami, there is something we should discuss" I hear Toshi say hesitantly, I nod turning to him giving him my full attention, "in a few days the school will be hosting our annual sports carnival, and well... since you have recently been injured, I was hoping that you'd sit this one out" he says and watches me carefully waiting for my reaction. i stare at him momentarily before thinking it through.
What if this is my opportunity to prove myself? A lot of people have doubted my capabilities and my position in class 1a, so if I sit it out will that not make me look incapable of meeting the standards of a true hero. 

I look at Toshinori again only to find him looking back "I know that I can do this" I answer him, determined. I watch as a small smile graces his face as he examines my face

"You're just like your mother Okami, always willing to push yourself in order to prove yourself" he smiles closing his eyes reminiscently, I smile to myself remembering my mothers cocky smile and happy eyes. But just as the small memory comes it goes and is replaced by the horrific image of her lifeless body. 

I turn away closing my eyes tightly gripping the couch "Okami?" I hear Toshinori whisper, I clear my throat standing up keeping my gaze to the floor

"I-I'm um... I'm gonna turn in for the night, I'll start training tomorrow" i look at him offering a small smile before walking down the hallway and into the room that feels the most like home.

Tomorrows another day, I just have to keep telling myself that and one day I might actually believe it

Hello again!!!
I hope you all are enjoying the story!
I'm just adding a small comment to address some issues I have come across in writing this story! 

First of all, I am very sorry to all of you that disliked the idea of me removing Koji Koda from the story but I do have a reason. You'll see this later on in the story. 

Second of all, I've already explained this before but Okami's full name is |Okami Fox| and some of you have commented saying that Okami means Wolf not fox. And I am well aware of that, she is actually named after her late aunt Okami Bane, she was a hero in America but passed due to a villain attacking her unexpectedly while on duty. 

Thank you all for reading this ;-;
