This chapter was inspired by TraditionalTwist's suggestion. Thanks again! The suggestion also gave me another idea for the next chapter. The song I was listening to for this chapter was Asian Kung Fu Generation After Dark –Karaoke.
Kendo went to visit her mother for the weekend. Her siblings were out of town to visit their grandparents for the weekend. She left on Thursday afternoon informing the school she will be absent for Friday. She kissed Tokoyami good bye before venturing off to her mother's house.
The next day rolled around which proceeded like normal. Tokoyami texted Kendo to see how she was doing. Apparently she wasn't doing well.

Kendo was moving sluggishly towards her mother room. She walked in to see her mother laying down watching Criminal Minds (Absolutely great show. I suggest that everyone should watch it). "Mom, Tokoyami is coming over to help take care of us. He is bringing us a few things to help us." Kendo informed. "You have a good boyfriend. You better be treating him kindly." She said. "Don't worry, he is in good hands." Kendo assured her mother. They both simultaneously coughed and sneezed. "Well I better go back into the living room." Kendo walked away closing the door behind her.
There was a knock on the door. Kendo got up pretty slowly and went to open the door. She saw her boyfriend with a plastic bag of supplies from a nearby pharmacy. "Welcome" Kendo coughed out. Tokoyami grabbed her side lightly and guided her back to the couch. "Thank you for coming. Hope I wasn't interrupting anything." Kendo apologized. "Trust me you weren't a bother. I came here because you and your mother needed a caregiver." Tokoyami sat the bag on the coffee table and rummaged through it.
"Okay I have cough medicine." Tokoyami broke the seal and poured a small cup of the sky blue medicine. Kendo was never a fan of liquid medicines. She back away into the couch when she saw the medicine. "Okay Kendo here is some medicine." Tokoyami held it out to her. She refuse to take it. She still had some of her childish tendencies. "You need to take it, you will feel better afterwards." Tokoyami tried to convince her to take the medicine. He refused to give up. So he went for a low blow trick to get her to take it. He swiftly moved his hands to her sides and tickled her. "HAHAHAHAHA! STOP IT!" Kendo begged. She hated being tickled more than anything. It was the best and worst feeling ever. It hurts her sides when she laughs for long periods of time. "Not until you take your medicine." Tokoyami increased the pressure of his tickling maneuver. After 2 minutes, she finally gave in. Tokoyami had a smirk on his face after beating her. "Trust me you will feel better." He handed her the medicine cup.
Tokoyami left for a quick second to give her mother some. Kendo hurried and snuck into the kitchen and poured out the content. She sat back down with the empty cup smiling at how smart her plan was.
Tokoyami was smarter than she expected. He walked back in to the living room to see Kendo with the empty cup. He didn't buy she actually drunk it. "Kendo you drunk the medicine." She nodded yes pretty aggressively. "Open your mouth." Tokoyami instructed. She did what he asked and opened her mouth. He smelled her breath and it didn't smell like medicine. "You didn't did you" Tokoyami sat with his arms folded. "Okay I didn't. I know it is going to taste disgusting." Kendo was moved to tears that she lied to her boyfriend. "Just take the medicine and you will feel much better." Tokoyami poured a cup and handed it to her. She put the cup to her lips and took a sip. She was shocked that she like the flavor. "But I thought?" Kendo was a bit confused. "I know your favorite fruit is blueberries. SO I got you a blueberry flavored medicine. I now you hate medicines with distasteful flavors." Tokoyami released his arms to grab the bag. She drunk the rest of the medicine and started to feel a little better.
Tokoyami headed into the kitchen and took out a few cans of Chicken noodle soup. Now most people would assume that he would hate foods related to birds. However, that was completely false. He enjoyed the taste of chicken. His mentor Hawks brought him a selection of foods from a KFC in the area. He started preparing the soup for his sick patients. Then he started thinking about what her mother said to him. "You have a great head on your shoulders and a big heart. Don't let anything ruin that. Take care of Kendo when I can't" He thought about that for some reason. He couldn't shake the feeling something bad was going to happen relating to that quote. He set it to the back of his mind and continued on with the meal preparations.
After 10 minutes, he finished the food and gave each member of the residence a bowl. They loved the soup he prepared for them. It was nearing 8 p.m. "Thank you so much for taking care of us." Kendo mom was able to get up after Tokoyami's caregiving. "Yeah you are a great doctor." Kendo added. "Thank you for your gratitude. I really should head back to U.A. before Aizawa gets infuriated by my absence." Tokoyami picked up Kendo and put her in her bed. "Thank you so much, you are a great boyfriend." "Glad you think so. Good Night Romansu." Tokoyami nuzzled his beak on her cheek. She loved when he did that. She preferred the kisses more but she couldn't complain. He tucked her in to bed and closed the door.
He left the residence and locked the door with the spare key Kendo gave him in emergency cases. He placed it back into his pocket and hurried back to his dorm. "You did a good thing Tokoyami." Dark Shadow said. "Thank you, I hope they are feeling better in the morning." Tokoyami said back. "I am sure they will." Dark Shadow comforted a bit. It was nice to know that his quirk was on his side.
Hope it was a good chapter. I love writing these stories.
