Chapter 5
When Hiro woke up the next morning, he was in a lot of pain. His shoulder and head hurt. He remembered everything from last night, every single minute until he lost consciousness. He slowly opened his eyes, and adjusted them to the light. There was a nurse checking his vitals. She looked at him.
"Oh! You're awake, I'll go get your Aunt," she said and walked out the door.
Aunt Cass walked in a minute later, her eyes full of concern and relief.
"Oh my god Hiro! Are you ok? How do you feel?" she questioned.
"Like I got hit by a truck," He said dryly.
"Do you remember what happened last night?" Aunt Cass asked.
Hiro shook his head, not wanting to have to lie to Aunt Cass about a bot fight they didn't really go to. He looked around the room. "Where's Akari?"
"In her room down the hall," she told him.
"Why is she checked in here?" Hiro asked.
"She needed stitches and she had a sprained ankle," Aunt Cass informed him.
"Oh," Hiro responded.
"Excuse me, Cassidy Hamada?" a new nurse walked in and asked, getting the older woman's attention.
"Yes?" Aunt Cass asked.
"Please come with me," the nurse said quickly, and Aunt Cass followed her out the door.
Hiro was completely confused about why his Aunt was called out of his room, but his thoughts were interrupted by a loud, high pitched scream coming from down the hall. Hiro nearly jumped out of bed when he heard it, but he couldn't get out of bed due to the extreme pain flowing throughout his body.
"OH MY GOD!" he heard his Aunt scream, so he assumed that the first scream was also from his Aunt.
His Aunt came back into the room a minute later, with a pale face and tear stained cheeks.
"Aunt Cass? What's wrong?" he asked curiously.
"Hiro…Oh, god Hiro…" Aunt Cass managed to say.
"Aunt Cass what happened? Did something happen to Akari?" he asked frantically.
"No Hiro," she smiled, but she was still crying. At this point, he was completely confused.
"What happened?" he asked, still completely confused.
Hiro heard someone enter the room, so he turned around. The second he saw the figure in the doorway, his eyes went wide, his mouth hung open, and he couldn't manage to say anything.
"Aren't you going to say hello to your brother?" the young man smiled.
"T-Tadashi?" he choked out.
