"Himi-chan! Dabi-kun!" Sakura exclaims brightly, pouncing onto the unsuspecting older people. The tallest: a 22 year old, incredibly tall, male with spiky black hair, bright turquoise blue eyes, and pale skin with major burns covering part of his face, neck, and most of his arms, squawked at the sudden weight and falls forward while the shorter: a 16 year old female with messy ash blonde hair in two buns, cat-like gold eyes, and fair skin, squeals in surprise and falls with the male.

By Tyche, I've missed them so much.

"Saki-chan!" Toga Himiko, aka Shifter, squeals in delight, hugging the shorter girl while still on the ground. "We've missed you so much!"

"Hey there, shortie. Can you get off of me now? You're heavy," Dabi, aka Cremator, asks tiredly as he sits up. Sakura rolls her eyes and puts all of her weight on Dabi, still hugging Himiko.

"I've missed you too. How were the Runners?" She asks, ignoring Dabi's groan. Himiko giggles and sits up.

"It was so fun!" Himiko exclaims. "You'd really like Jail! He's funny, and really cute~!"

Of course.

Sakura smiles and slowly gets up. "Well, Tetsu-kun an' I got into UA's hero course. Quicksilver's still a bitch."

"Oh, thank God," Dabi sighs in relief when Sakura gets off of him. Sakura lightly kicks his side with an eye roll.

"I ain't that heavy!" The pink haired teenager states before helping her two friends up. "Come on! Tetsu-kun's getting groceries. Mom an' Dad aren't home yet."

Himiko skips into the house while Dabi trudges along with Sakura next to him. Dabi glances down at the short girl and nudges his shoulder.

"Sleeper told us about your hero encounters while running. You alright?" He asks quietly as they wait for Himiko to unlock the door.

"Yeah. Haven't been caught, obviously," Sakura rolls her wrist, "but things are gettin' out of hand. Do you know what Sleeper's doin'?" The black haired man narrows his eyes, but doesn't comment.

"How's the hero course? Same as what I told you about it?" He asks instead. Sakura shrugs before they walk inside.

"It's pretty weird. Tetsu-kun's in 1-B. I'm in 1-A..." Sakura glances around. "Your brother's in my class too."

"Ooh~ is he pretty?" Himiko asks excitedly jumping over to the pink haired teenager.

She tosses her satchel into the living room, ears turning pink. "He's a pretty boy–and tall."

"Do not gush over my brother in front of me," Dabi says with disgust and walks into the kitchen. Sakura flips him off when his back is turned.

Himiko frowns slightly and leans on her shoulder. "Something's bothering you."

No shit. A lot of things are bothering me.

Sakura shrugs and rolls her wrist again. She takes out her phone and opens the messenger app.

The Fam Group w/o Idiots:

I let Dabi and Himiko in. –Delivered

Mom: Don't tell them about the welcome back dinner! –Read

Dad: Almost finished with work –Read

Rocky: Don't mess with my stuff. –Read

"It's nothing you need to worry about," Himiko gives her a disbelieving look, "right now. If it gets complicated, I'll get you."

"Dabi~ is there any ice cream?" Himiko drops the subject, knowing it wasn't something she could push.

"I'm already getting it. Shortie's gonna be catching us up on the last six months," Dabi shouts from the kitchen. The blonde claps her hands with a smile and sits on the couch.

"I'm doin' what now?" Sakura asks after she sits down next to Himiko. "When'd we discuss this?"


Sakura gently closes her door, muffling Tetsutetsu's loud laughter and Himiko's squeal. She lets out a deep breath and leans against the door.

Man, I want to sleep.

She rolls her neck and walks over to her desk. Calmly sitting in her chair, she turns on her computer.

"Now... this Project Phantom–what is it?" Sakura stares at her computer screen for a few moments before logging into the Shadows' database.

A single search engine pops up. She types in Phantom. Two things pop up and Sakura clicks on the first.

A person's file?

Huh. I should have full clearance. Anyways, this doesn't say PROJECT Phantom... These better not be connected...

Sakura takes a picture before logging out of the database and turning off her computer. She grabs a Clorox wipe from its container next to the monitor and cleans the keys on her keyboard.

"Hey Saki-chan, you going to bed?" Himiko walks into her room.

"Oh–yeah. Today took a lot out of me and I have a couple Messages tomorrow," Sakura lies quietly. She leans back into her chair as Himiko walks over.

The blonde starts unbraiding the shorter girl's hair. "You will tell us if you need help, right? We don't want you hurt, or–or killed."

Sakura nods her head gently, sighing heavily with Himiko running her fingers through her hair. Himiko gives her a soft kiss on the forehead.

"You're so cute~!"

The younger Shadow smiles softly and turns around. "I will–if something happens I'll come to you and Dabi, Himiko. I-I promise."

"That's all I can ask." They hug for a long moment, Himiko taking a deep breath.

She knows something... what does she know?

"Himi-chan," Sakura breaks the hug to stare up at her friend, "something's–something's about to happen. I don't know what it is, but it scares me. Be careful."

"I will, Spades. Don't worry. I wouldn't dare to leave you alone," Himiko says in a motherly way. Sakura rolls her eyes, but her shoulders relax at the promise.

"Goodnight Shifter."

Sakura can worry about whatever's about to happen tomorrow. She's exhausted.


Hey! Hope you like the new chapter. Bye!
