Fuyumi never adored Kushina. Not in the way the rest of her family clearly does. She respects Kushina, maybe even loves her, but she never sees the older woman. Never spends any time with her or bonded with her. She loves Kushina's visits if only because the tension of the house seems to dissipate when she's around. He brothers and mom smile and laugh and cajole and joke and have fun and they don't do that when Kushina isn't there to run interference between her dad and the rest of her family.

...She doesn't want interference.

She wants her dad to give up his dream of beating All Might via his children. Her dad loves them- even if the others can't see that like she can. He loves them and he struggles to show that and he's made all the wrong choices but Fuyumi can't just persecute him.

She loves him because he's her dad and because she remembers when he made time to treat them like an actual family and she knows that a few moments where he treats them right don't make up for all the abuse but she just-

She can't hate him. Not even when they end up in the hospital for a second time, this time for Shouto. Oh, she's angry at him. Furious in a way she had only been the first time this had happened. She doesn't hate him, though.

Past that matching rage in her eyes, she can tell Kushina doesn't hate him either. Natsuo does. Shouto's starting to. Her mom- her mom regrets. Fuyumi isn't sure if Todoroki Rei has hit the cusp yet but she's there, ready to join her youngest sons in their pointless hatred.

Fuyumi doesn't understand how they can hate their own family but she's sure they don't understand how she still loves her dad, either. So she does her best.

She makes breakfast with her mom for Natsuo and Shouto and then makes more for her dad under her mom's concerned eyes. She takes the breakfast up to her dad's room and leaves it on his desk if he's busy. Then she goes back down and has breakfast with the rest of her family. She cleans and picks up around the house to help out her mom. She keeps her younger brothers busy when the shouting starts. She runs messages between her parents, paraphrasing their words enough that neither will get angry.

She teaches Natsuo what Touya had taught her about first aid. She takes care of Shouto after strenuous training sessions. She keeps her father quiet company when he's angry but isn't in the mood to train. She makes assurances to her mom when the woman breaks down into tears over the state of her childrens' lives.

She pretends not to notice how Natsuo keeps Kushina informed on the going ons of the house and bites her lip when she wants yell at her family that they need to get their shit together.

(She shares more in common with her dad and her aunt then her siblings do. There's a core part of her that she shares with the two warriors that Shouto and Natsuo don't. They don't have the innate viciousness, the stubbornness to do whatever it takes to get what they want.

If she wasn't set on being a healer, she would have made a tremendous fighter.)

(She stands by every member of her family, even when they all do horrible things. She may be furious when her dad runs them into the ground with his demands or when Natsuo snarls death threats when he thinks no one else is listening but she still loves them.

And if she loves them, how could she ever hate her mom for burning Shouto with boiling water, even when she wants she screams and yell that Rei was never meant hurt them?)
