In the end, Akemi doesn't go to the hospital.
She does, however, leave the house. But instead of taking public transport like she always did, Akemi calls up her personal driver, and had him wait for her in the garage.
It doesn't take long to get there, and she slips into the back of the gray convertible she got as a birthday present from one of the big-shot companies her mother was working with. Kazumiya-san was already there then, and she greets him with a nod.
"Where to, ojou-sama?"
Akemi stays silent for a moment, and after going through a full list of options, sighed.
"Just drive around the city for a bit." She smiles, "I want to relax. And... On the way back, I want to make a stop at the private beach. Is that okay?"
"Of course."
Akemi was mostly silent for the ride, leaning against the side of the car and letting the wind run through her hair as she just... Drifts. Not quite thinking, but merely letting her mind wander. Sometimes it helps her.
Kazumiya-san doesn't go near the Hosu district, nor does he take her anywhere near the Kiyashi ward. Akemi looks out to the buildings around her and smiles a little, her mother had always went by the basis of skill, insight and empathy whether hiring for the company or home, and honestly? She agrees.
The city lights of Tokyo are bright against the sea, she watches as the shoreline shimmers with the neon lights, growing dimmer as they drove back into the residents' area. Akemi humms and debates whether or not to visit Izuku as they passed his apartment building, but decides against it.
"We're here."
Akemi offers Kazumiya-san a grateful smile, pulls her jacket tighter around herself, and slips out of the car. The wind caused her to shiver, but without another word she slips her sandals off, and walks down to the Kimura family beach.
There aren't many memories on this beach. The time she spent here and bothered to remember were few and far between, but fond none the less. The sand felt soft against her feet, damp from the higher tides and cool to the touch. Pleasant and calming.
Akemi fiddles with her necklace, the red charm glitters under the little light there was. It's dark, and Akemi shivers a little, but she held it down and continued to walk.
She remember the last time she went here. With mum and Kōki, during her last visit back home. It was spring and the water was cold, and she'd kicked Kōki into the sea. Her sister's nearly killed her for it. Doge loved the water, and Smudge just lazed around on the mat enjoying the sun until her mum played a prank and tossed both him and doge at the water as well.
It was lovely. Akemi sighs and looks out the sea. The Hōhana ward was far enough from the city that on clear nights like this one, some of the stars are just visible. There wasn't a lot of them, but Akemi enjoys what she can.
As she was about to head back, her feet brushes against something cool to the touch and Akemi pauses. Kneeling down she feels around in the sand, and her fingers once again brushes against something. Akemi frowns.
It's not trash, the beach is cleaned once a week, so that's impossible. She grabs it, pulls it out, and blinks.
It's a piece of sea glass.
Their color is pretty rare, too. A deep turquoise, in a rugged, spiral-like cylindrical shape, glistening with sea water. She stares at the small piece of glass, then smiles and pockets it.
It'd look good on necklaces. She thought, fingering the pendant around her neck, It's time she moved on.

Told you the necklace is important! Pay good attention to it, it's going to be very, very important in the coming arcs!
I considered changing it up so instead of finding the sea glass she bought it from a road side shop or something, but I don't know how I'm supposed to write that so I stuck with this version. It seems a little weird though, to just randomly find sea glass on her family's private beach.
Onto the comments!
To Ree.Human: Aww, Koki would love to teach you! Though she'd mist likely deny it at first because she is a cute little tsundere- as for Mustard- er, I think you mean Moonfish, because Akemi'd be dead before she voluntarily fights Mustard— because Mustard and Akemi's quirk equals supersonic atomic bomb. And thanks for your support for Wreaking Havoc! Harry Potter is actually one of the first fandoms I dabbled in (along with Hetalia) so I really enjoyed writing it, it's so fun sassing everyone. And with Mayumi wreaking havoc around like this I'm pretty sure Ron is going to need aspirins soon.
