[*rises out of the Earth like a zombie*

I LIIIIIVE!

Geez. When was the last time I updated?! Like a month ago?

Okay, first things first(I'mtherealest), I am seriously. So. Sorry. I haven't been doing my best in updating, and it's gotten ridiculous. I'm not going to make a promise that from now on I'll update every week(because if I break that promise, I'll be annoying the crap out of all of you), but I am going to do my best to be better.

So, in other news, I am able to walk again, but it is still extremely painful, and so I am still on the Death Scooter. Which is not an excuse, but I thought I would let you guys know.

I have also been ensnared by the fandom that is Gravity Falls. Oh my Carrots. It's amazing. So I have been trying to write for that as well... Really, I have a problem. And with school starting...

I really just have a lot going on right now. I'm sorry. And I hope you can forgive me for the unannounced hiatus.]

[So, in response to your reviews:

Lady Cougar-Trombone: Thank you! And yes, I just thought it would be funny. And also, I was lazy. xD Actually, Hiro is wearing both purple eyeshadow and gold eyeliner. Sorry if there was any confusion! And I'm sorry for the annoying lack of an update!

TheUltimateFangirl2020: Haha, no worries! Is it mean that I laughed at your technical difficulty?

Thank you! And... hehe... I may have drawn some fanart in one of my sketchbooks. Too bad you can't post fanart on here, eh? I really enjoyed writing Hiro's discomfort.

BigHero6Fan D: Haha, you'll just have to wait and see! I hope the chapter is not TOO disappointing, though. Dx I got it done in a hurry.

Funnily enough, so have I. I drew Hiro in his Fujita costume, out of boredom one day, and the result was amazing. xD Not amazing as in I liked my own work, but I liked the concept. xD

Tony18: Thank you so much! I am really 10x better at humor than drama, which is unfortunate, seeing as this story is very dramatic, but I try to make my writing seem a little better by making it funny. xD

Ooh, I have plans for slapping sense into Tadashi... *evil author laughter* I also intend to explain it later on. Tadash isn't just acting like it's his time of the month for no reason. He's pissed, and he has a very good reason. Of course, it's slightly late in coming, but the pressure has been building up for a while. I'm just not looking forward to the fallout.

I feel really bad for leaving this cliffhanger for so long. DX I'm sorry about that, and I hope that I satisfy your curiosity.

DaydreamDepartment: Haha, I actually have drawn Hiro in his costume, due to a half hour or so of boredom and the fact that I recently acquired four new notebooks. :)

BH6-Is-Awesome: Okay, so you left three reviews, hold on...

1. Thank you so much! Although, of course, if I were writing Big Hero 6, Tadashi probably would have ACTUALLY died(due to my jerkiness and inability to be kind to my readers), and in a more graphic way, in the hospital, where we see burn wounds and a body(once again, because I am evil). There would have been cursing(which I don't reflect into my fanfiction writing, because my mom has asked to read some on occasion), and a helluva lot more blood. Like seriously. So much blood. Callaghan and Hiro would have both broken a rib when they fell down the stairs, poor Honey Lemon would have gotten a gash when she got hit in the head by one of GoGo's disks, and you can bet that Hiro would be in the hospital during the aftermath of the portal. While, admittedly, this would be more realistic, it would also have a PG-13 rating. At least. So, I guess it's best that I don't write the sequel. xD

2. I know, I know! I'm sorry. I have been going through some stuff, and I have gotten into another fandom, and school has started... It's been hard, and that doesn't excuse me at all, I know, but I am... Sorry.

3. Actually, it's Honey Lemon who chickened out of going. And you can't really blame her-she's no good at skating, for one, and she would have been among a bunch of gang members who, if she weren't a badass superhero, would snap her like a twig. Dun blame teh Honey Lemons. She be awesome.

Also, I wanted to thank you... I would never have gotten this chapter done if you hadn't reviewed, because to be entirely honest I needed someone to tell me to get a move on.

Everyone Else: Thank you so much for reading! I'm sorry that I haven't been updating, and I hope to do more of this... "writing" that you speak of in the future. In the meantime, please enjoy, and if you feel like you want to, please review!

Today's song is 'Towards the Sun' by Rihanna(ugh, I know, please don't flip out on me. Hush now and read the chapter)

Thanks again!]

"Shadows chase me far from home

I remember when my heart was filled with gold

And you know, I've been burned...

It's not worth... my soul...

Turn your face towards the sun

Let the shadows fall behind you."

-Towards the Sun, by Rihanna

"Very funny, Aunt Cass."

The Fujita winced and rubbed the back of her neck. "I'm being entirely serious."

At this, Hiro started glaring at her. "What do you mean, entirely serious? You're actually considering staying here?!"

"Just hear me out-"

Hiro cut her off, eyes bright with fury. "No, you hear me out! Tadashi's going insane with worry, we've risked our necks to try and get you back, and our house has been destroyed! Mochi has been sleeping with me in my bed! We've all missed you, and we-"

"There's someone who wants your heads," Cass said quietly, looking at her nephew with determination.

"Of course there is, Aunt Cass! Everyone wants our heads!"

"No, I mean someone with power," she insisted, voice growing in volume.

"Like Callaghan?"

"More so," Aunt Cass said, frowning. "He's intelligent, and no one has been able to find out who exactly he is. He's managed to unite the gangs of San Fransokyo, and intends to use them as an army against the Big Hero 6."

"We already know that," Hiro replied, a frown tugging at his lips.

"I intend to stay and figure out who this is, and how you can stop him."

"Not an option, Aunt Cass."

"I'm an adult, Hiro-and your legal guardian," Cass said gently. "If I decide to remain in the Fujita hideout for your safety, I'll do so."

"But that's… entirely besides the point…"

"I'm staying, Hiro, and there isn't anything you can say that would convince me to do otherwise."

" She's right, otouto."

And suddenly, Hiro was afraid to turn around.

"And how long, exactly, have you been watching us, Tadashi?"

"Since you got here. There's no Fujita hideout by the bridge. That was obvious as soon as I got there, so I came back."

Hiro winced and finally got up the courage to turn, greeted by the sight of a cold glare, eyes narrowed to near slits. "Hey, nii-chan…"

"'Tadashi's acting like a girl on her period'?"

"I didn't-"

"Coming from the guy wearing purple eyeshadow and gold eyeliner, that's rich."

"It was our only-"

"Not to mention the fishnet stockings. Really, Hiro, I had thought that you would have more respect for yourself than that."

"Women can wear what they want, respect entirely out of the picture, but that's not the point."

"Do us all a favor, and please stop talking."

For once, Hiro was incapable of disobeying any sort of order from his brother, and fell completely silent, to the shock of the two women nearby.

"Tadashi, what's your problem?"

The young man turned to GoGo, whose eyes were alight with sudden fury. "What's my problem? My problem is that you guys deliberately sent me on a wild goose chase when Aunt Cass is missing!"

"I'm not missing now, Tadashi," Cass said quietly, a silent rage fueling in her expression. "As a matter of fact, I'm staying here."

"No, you're not, and I don't see why you two are flipping out."

"We're flipping out?!"

GoGo stepped over to her friend(?) and forced herself not to punch him in the chest. "Look. Your aunt and I don't agree on a lot of things, but one thing I know we both agree on right now is the fact that you're off your rocker."

"Sweetie, I understand you've been scared, but you're endangering yourself."

Hiro winced inwardly at this, taking a few steps away from his brother as Tadashi tilted his head to the side in that manner that generally suggested he was about to win an argument.

"Is that so?"

"Tadashi, admittedly, maybe we should have just made you stay home. But it's hard to get any work done when the only thing you're willing to do is chew your brother out and glare at everybody."

Tadashi opened his mouth to argue, then shut it again. "I… I guess you have a point."

"Of course we do, now, before anything else happens, I want you two to make up and start acting like civilized people," Cass growled.

"But Aunt Cass-"

"No buts with me, mister!"

Being the extremely mature and completely grown up men that they were, the Hamada brothers forced back their sudden fit of giggling. Because mature adults don't laugh at the word 'but'.

"...Hiro, I'm sorry for ignoring you and maybe sort of wanting to lock you in a closet and leave you there."

"I would say I'm sorry as well, but I don't really have anything to apologize for."

"Hiro."

"...Fine. I'm sorry for… um… Botfighting? Even though it was for a very good reason?"

"Well, that's probably the closest I'll get to an apology," Tadashi said with a sigh. "Forgiven."

"Okay. Now that we've sorted that out… What the hell, Aunt Cass?!"

The older woman winced, then leaned against the wall. "I'm staying. I'm sorry, but I can't go with you in the knowledge that there's someone out for your heads."

"There's always someone-"

"No one knows who he is," Cass continued, as if Tadashi hadn't spoken. "He calls himself Moru, and he's very intelligent. He seems to know when someone is going to double cross him, and takes them out before they do. He seems to want revenge for something, although what, I don't know."

"Maybe we put someone he doesn't like in jail," Hiro replied softly, still a little wary.

"Perhaps," GoGo said, then sighed. "Or maybe we didn't."

"What do you mean?"

GoGo cleared her throat, then skated over to the family, skidding to a stop before she crashed into their youngest member. "Well, the Fujitas have a theory. You've probably heard of Little Yama-Big Yama's younger brother?"

"Yeah," Hiro responded, wincing at the memory. Yama had named the bot after said younger brother, because of their close friendship. "What about him?"

"He had been second-in-command before Yama died, and apparently there were strong familial bonds there…"

"...Crap."

Hiro threw a glance in Tadashi's direction, sighing. "So, really, it's very possible that Yama's younger brother has a vendetta against us because we didn't catch… Tadashi."

"Pretty much."

"Although, technically-"

"I guess it might have counted-"

"Guys."

"Sorry, nii-chan."

Tadashi sighed, bringing his hand up to massage the bridge of his nose. "So really, Aunt Cass getting kidnapped, our home getting destroyed, Hiro dressing in drag-"

"I had no choice. They made me."

"-Is because I killed this guy's older brother."

Hiro cleared his throat. "Talk about a role reversal."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, a younger brother, bereft of his older sibling, with a vendetta against the murderer, and is now on a mission with his sibling's friends to bring him to justice…"

The group fell silent.

"Holy crap. It's like the universe is creating your guys' archnemesis."

"You sound like Fred, Aunt Cass."

"It's the truth, though," Cass insisted, eyes alight with amusement. "This is how all superheroes end up going down. They create their own demise."

"Are you implying that we're going to die?"

"Dear God, I hope not."

Hiro sighed to himself, then ran a hand through his hair. "So, what do we do now?"

"We find him before he finds us, so that we don't have to deal with this later," Tadashi replied with a frown.

GoGo was frowning with him, her hair having gotten stuck in her lip gloss. "Well, where does Yama's brother live?"

"How would I know?"

"You see, this is where my botfighting prowess comes in," the younger Hamada said with a smirk. "I know the address."

"...Seriously?"

"Would I lie to you?"

"Yes."

"...Fair enough."

Aunt Cass nodded, suddenly pleased at the way things were turning out. "And I'll stay here, and send you a message as soon as I get any information regarding this."

"You're absolutely sure about this, Ms. Hamada?"

"Positive," she replied, a smile tugging at her lips. "Now, you all run along, and get him."

The ride home was very quiet, Baymax carrying the brothers on his shoulders while GoGo skated back to her apartment. Every so often, Hiro would glance at his brother, even attempt to start a conversation, but when his efforts weren't reciprocated, he finally fell silent and paid attention to staying on the robot.

After five more minutes of continued silence, however, Hiro couldn't stand it anymore.

"...I really am sorry about sending you on a wild goose chase."

"What's done is done," Tadashi replied simply, although the tone of his voice conveyed a trait entirely different than passiveness.

"I just… didn't want to be yelled at, and didn't even think of talking to you about it."

"I know."

Hiro found himself becoming quiet again, contemplating if his brother was actually still angry, when he spoke up.

"If you send me on a goose chase again, though, regardless of your reasoning, you can forget about my staying on this team."

And any doubt that the younger Hamada had had was gone.

[Once again, I apologize(I need to stop this, I sound annoying) for the late updates...

And now, headcanon time.

-Tadashi has a thing for holding grudges. He forgives easily, but if you have hurt him to the point that he isn't willing to spend any more energy trying, he'll just... give up. He'll resent you, and just ignore you from then on. He generally isn't mean, but if he has gotten to this point with you, never expect any sort of civil speak coming from him towards you again. Unless someone he actually cares about is in the immediate vicinity. Then he'll tolerate your presence and try to ignore you some more.

-Hiro is not submissive to authority in any way except one. While he doesn't obey rules or even any sort of order(unless he wants to), he will do his best to stop if Tadashi is genuinely angry. Which he isn't very often, so this doesn't generally happen. But Hiro knows his limits, and if he has infuriated his brother to the point that he is actually genuinely angry, and not just irritated, he will stop what he's doing and try to make up. This does not stem from any sort of fear of his brother(although Tadashi is fricking terrifying when he's angry), but because it takes a lot to get Tadashi actually ANGRY, and if he is, he has good reasons. As such, Hiro knows that it is in his best interests to do what his brother says. Which is generally something along the lines of "Sit down, shut up, and behave for once".

-Mkay. I know this is kind of a sensitive topic, but, and this is just how I see them...

Tadashi is Hetero through and through. GoGo is Demi/Heteroromantic, and Honey is Bi. Wasabi is Ace and Panromantic, I'm not really sure about Fred, and Hiro is Ace as well as Aro.

(Sorry, those of you who wanted Hiro to be in a relationship with someone... Not only do I not do romance well, but I can't really see Hiro being with anyone, and he doesn't really seem to be that interested in that type of thing. Hiro doesn't make a big deal out of it, even making jokes about it, and Tadashi is aware. While he hasn't exactly come out to the rest of the team, they really wouldn't make too big a deal of it, and to be honest, most of them have kind of already figured it out by now.)

Welp, that's about all! Please stay tuned for another chapter sometime in the (hopefully) near future!

Remember, reality is an illusion, the universe is a hologram, buy gold! Bye~!
