It's understandable that anybody who receives a call at 11 in the night will be in a bad mood.

Hibiki Ueno is no exception.

Hibiki was just about to head to bed after a long cram session, so her mood is justifiable when her phone begins to blare. Loudly. Stretching a hand over, she violently snatches her phone from her desk, and without even looking at the caller, jabs the green button with enough force to crack the screen.

"How can I help you?" she drawls in a not very deceptively sweet voice, brushing her hair out of her face.

"Hibiki?"

It's Tenya. It's Tenya, but his voice is shaky and raspy and hoarse like he's been yelling for hours. The anger drains out of her within a second. Over the line, Hibiki can hear irregular breathing and what sounds like chokes, gasps, sobs? Hibiki slides out of the covers and moves to sit at the edge of the bed with a frown.

"Tenya? What is it?" A glance at the calendar confirms the date, "aren't you supposed to be at the training camp now? What happened?"

"T-there was a villain attack." Tenya chokes out, and immediately, alarm bells are blaring in her head.

"What? Are you hurt?" she demands, already standing up and heading over to the closet to change, her steps falter halfway when the thought of her best friend comes by a second too late, "And Akemi? Is...is she alright?"

"Hibiki, Iー" his voice breaks. "They took her, Hibiki."

"...What?" Her jacket slips onto the floor.

"They took her, Hibiki," Tenya rasps, "The villains, theyー they took Akemi."

Her throat closes, and Hibiki feels her world shift on its axis. Words of denial fills her mind: What does he mean, they took Akemi? They couldn't have. Akemi? What? They can't. it's not possible—

Panic sets in. Stumbling, Hibiki snatches her jacket up in one swift motion. She then scrambles out into the hallway, swiping her purse from the table on the way.

"Tenya, which hospital are you in right now?" she asks the urgency of the situation and concern bleeding into her tone. Her voice was even, but Hibiki is barely suppressing the overwhelming need to break down into tears. "Which-" her voice cracks against her will. "Where are you now?"

"Hibikiー"

"I'm heading over. Right now," she forces out through the lump in her throat, "I don't care. I'm heading over right now, I, I can't be away right now, Tenya, I-"

"Hibiki—" hearing the tone in his voice as Tenya interrupts her, Hibiki growls with frustration and hangs up, she slams open the front door and fumbled to lock it before flying down the stairs in quick, wide strides, several steps at a time while dialing another number into her phone, redialing when nobody picks up.

When they do pick up, Hibiki breaks down.

"Mum? Please help me check which hospital Tenya's class is in right now. Iー" she chokes, tears staining her hoodie, "Akemi's been kidnapped!"

There ain't much to say, really...

Well I have finally started on chapter 222, it's not done, not by far, but at least I started.

I'm very sorry so announce that with school back on track I'll have to go back to my privious update schedule, where I'll only update on Tuesday and Thursdays, the next update will be on the coming Tuesday! Please look forwards to it!

(On the bright side, this gives me and my beta-reader more time to go throughthe chapters, so the quality will probably be better.)

Onto the comment(s)!

To darkpaladin89: Yeah, Marmy is probably good for them.

To : Oh, um, please don't kill me later in the arc...
