09 Officially a Hero

Disclaimer: I do not own anything that is not my property.

The supposedly hero exam is going in full swing with the lot of hero wannabes enlisting and such.

Saitama was nervously standing in line and behind him was Genos. He would normally be unfazed by the situation but he can't help the niggling feeling of having a lower ranking than of Genos. Not that he doubts himself in the strength department but, he isn't really confident when it comes to the written test part.

Genos had informed him (and Haku, because she doesn't really know nor care about the heroics) about what the test entails. The grading system is that you need to both pass at the physical and written parts in order to get into the hero business.

And he is dreading the written part, honestly he doesn't really care if the cyborg surpasses him in rank (though it would be quite embarrassing since he is the guy's teacher) and Saitama would definitely do his best to at least get an average score and that he doesn't really want to let his sister down. This is the chance to finally help in their financial problem, so that his sweet hardworking sister wouldn't need to work for the both of them anymore and just focus on her studies.

A tug at his sleeve halts his thought process and then he was staring at familiar amber eyes.

"Don't worry Sai-nii you'll do good. Genos-san and I have helped you and quizzed you on these things and you did great, so don't worry your little brain or it'll explode."

Haku looks at him with a serious expression that is rarely seen in her face "Besides, I'm pretty much sure that you'll pass and you won't fail at it. Because you've always been my hero since I was little."

Then she smiled that smile that could always make his stomach clench and make him feel warm and tingly inside. Beside him Genos stares intently at Haku and then glares daggers at the general male population in the room, who are staring at the small brunette.

She stands on her tiptoes and holds his face in her small hands and then plants a kiss on his left cheek. Afterwards, she hugs him tightly and let goes immediately, a much more prominent dash of pink on her cheeks as she pointedly looks to the side.

"A-and you w-wouldn't disappoint me either, because you've got that serious sister complex."

"I do not." He said halfheartedly.

Though he really doesn't have a sister complex. Why would he have one anyway, he means, yes, she has those pretty doll amber eyes, a super adorable smile that is brighter than the sun, dainty and fairy-like, an innocence that is as pure as her name (Haku's name means white), her singing voice that could only come from an angel, (she sings sometimes in contests, for the prize) that cute nose wiggle thing she does when she smells something delicious and did he mentioned her smile? That absolutely angelic smile of pure white innocence that she gives to him sometimes but that doesn't mean that Saitama has a complex to his absolutely positively beautifully sweet adorably cute little sister.

Absolutely not.

Staring at his suddenly affectionate sister, he can't help but feel the DETERMINATION flowing through him.

He will not disappoint her and he would definitely become an official hero.

The bald man steels himself, his face set in serious mode his sharp brown eyes filled with DETERMINATION.

"I'll go now alright, I need to do some work at this new place my old boss has finally got to open. So see you around." Then Haku walks away, hands in the pocket of her oversized hoodie.

When she was in a fair distance, Saitama remembers something, "Haku! Don't forget the celebratory dinner okay! I want all my favorites in there." His bold statement got some sneers and snide comments, but like always he doesn't really care.

"Of course! I already have it covered since yesterday. Be back to dinner and Genos-san," amber meets gold. "You're invited."

And with that, she exits the building not before subtly tripping (nothing but a little twirl of her finger) the men who insulted her confidence over her brother's success.

Haku stared at the newly minted establishment with a blank gaze. It was a new restaurant, suppose to be focused on traditional dishes and by her line up of skills she is qualified enough to pull a cooking show. Not just your ordinary cooking show though. Anyways, she pretty much nails this job, so she puts on her apron tying it in a knot and faces the curious crowd.

She thinks that people would be helpless when she pulls out her secret weapon only a few can resist it, but it doesn't matter, Haku is paid to get her job done and what a nice pay it was. Haku thinks of happy thoughts and sunshine (chocolates) as her lips starts to twitch upwards in a tentative smile and with the power of youth on her side she pulled the right look.

The usual bland face was all but gone, amber eyes alight with a little twinkle. The change of expression has an instant effect on the masses.

Her smile turning into a sweeter one, giving of sparkles and flowers to the people, the innocence hitting them in the face like a truck.

Easy.

Haku walked on by carrying bags filled with groceries. She was looking forward to the celebratory dinner and thinking about what she should cook for her brother.

As she had thought earlier, the gimmick was worth the effort and the heavy weight on her pocket proves that.

A force suddenly pushed her forward and she stumbled to right herself, her eyes narrowed at the muscled man who pushed pass her.

"Hey!" She called out.

The man carried on as if she hadn't heard her.

Tsk.

Meanwhile, at the corner of the street a certain silver eyed ninja watch the seen with pitying eyes. Thinking how the kid was already robbed blind and there is no way 'he' would be able to get that money back.

And if only he knew.

The small teen glares and promptly picks up a a flat rock by her feet, she puts all the groceries on her left arm and with great force, Haku throws the rock at the back of the thief's head causing the lumbering man to fall forward and pass out.

The bystanders spares a wary glance at her way as the ravenneth calmly walk towards the fallen man with great purpose, but a brave soul stops her on her path.

"W-what do you think your doing? I know that he pushed you but there's no need for that." The other people agrees with him silently.

Haku only gave him a blank stare "How am I going to get back my valuables if I didn't do that?" She said as she side stepped the male and continued on her path.

The man glance at her confused and gapes as the 'boy' rummage the thief's pocket pulling out a wallet and a slick phone.

"H-hey what are you?!--"

The phone thrust under his nose was turned on letting him see the wallpaper of the smiling 'boy' and an equally smiling bald man after a moment the wallet was thrust open to his face to show the teen's school ID.

The man freezes for a moment and suddenly realizes what has been happening after all.

He points at the currently passed out body lying on the pavement "That man is a thief!" He yells, voice breaking at the end.

The people on the sidewalk erupts in a buzz, trying to find a hero to take the guy in.

And as the crowd panics, the raven haired teen sighs and escapes the seen calmly like nothing happened going unnoticed by everyone except for the silver eyed assassin that is now eyeing her in a new light and interest.

She feels the gaze but doesn't comments on it.

Saitama looked on to the peaceful scenery before him, thoughts going back to what happened during the examination and its result.

As he was expecting earlier he got a lower rank than Genos, he was a bit embarrassed, after all he was the sensei, but he guesses that he saw that one coming with the written test and Genos being a cyborg and all. Robots (though he was only half of it) was supposed to be smart aren't they?

And Genos is one smart guy, with all his complicated words and mumbo technical lingos.

But still, he managed to pass (the lowest B rank, better than a C rank he muses) and that one is really important, can't let his sister down after all.

As he was lost in thought he felt a hand chop go down his head that made him blink in stupor (albeit not really getting hurt by it). He turns around only to see the snake suit guy from earlier. He didn't really get his name (he rarely does) earlier and he could only blink in confusion as the man says something about rookie crushing and him not cut to become a hero and a lot more stuff that he doesn't really care about.

'He talks to much'

Saitama turns around completely ignoring the man hoping that he would just leave him alone. Then he heard the suit scream at him for his disrespect for his 'senior' (not really, because he started out much earlier) and on instinct he dodges the attack and retaliates with a swat of his hand that sends the man flying to the bushes.

Saitama stares at him for a moment then shrugs, after all he was the one that brought this to himself, so its not his problem his just defending himself right?

And without further a do, he trudges excitedly to their home.

Saitama is currently trying to stop himself from drooling (because that's bad manners) at the delicious spread that his absolutely wonderful sister of his prepared. Speaking of his wonderful sister, she is currently putting down the appetizing plate full of sushi rolls. His sister really did go all out on this one (she always does on his birthdays, though he is confused when she doesn't even bother with hers and sometimes even forgets, it is beyond him) not that his complaining.

This is another check on the checklist why he was one lucky brother to have her as his sister.

Haku only looks at him with eyes shining with amusement and pride while her face continues on with its blank state.

She looks at Genos who is scribbling madly on his notebook while muttering to himself about the 'secret to their strength' and 'samples' that had her slightly confused. Meh, it was probably just about the training and stuff.

She had always found amusement on Genos' reaction to every little thing that her brother does and says and she safely concludes that he is one of those overly serious types. But meh, it's not really her problem that he makes conclusions out of nothing and that he wouldn't really improve since his mostly robotic anyways, her brother's way might work on an average human (after all her brother is just an average Joe before the whole training, but she's not really sure if it works with everyone).

It's not her problem.

"Genos-san please stop what you're doing and let's eat. It's a lot more delicious that way." She says monotonously, as the other teen nods his head and stops what he has been writing.

"Thank you Haku-san, for inviting me on this celebratory dinner despite me not being part of your family and intruding." The blonde says in a formal tone, which causes her lips to turn down a bit.

"You are not intruding Genos-san, you are now a part of this family whether I like it or not, you are my brother's pupil, and their teacher is their second family is it not?"

Genos suddenly stands up and bows his head "You are right I am very sorry for--"

"ENOUGH!"

Both of them turns to the impatient bald man.

"Can we just eat already?"

That quickly ended the conversation and the three of them feasted at the men's achievement.

After all they had both become officially a hero.

A/n: Hi guys not dead yet, sorry for the late update but school had been slowly killing me, my computer completely died on me (and all of the chapters has been deleted) I'm currently preparing for my upcoming scholarship test the next month and I hope that I would pass it.

Shorter than the last one but I hope you enjoyed at least and don't forget to leave a comment!

Bye~
