Kahoko woke up feeling under the weather. Oh no… She coughed.

Natsume was already gone.

"I hope I'm not coming down with something…" She mumbled. She got up and went for a shower.

Natsume was sat watching TV downstairs.

"Natsu, are you alright?" Mrs Sano asked her son.

Natsume shrugged. "Kaho-nee… she's been a bit strange lately."

"What do you mean?"

"When she's been coming home, she just doesn't seem herself. I understand that she's happier because she's made new friends at school, but something else is confusing me."

Mrs Sano frowned.

"I went into her bed last night, she had been talking to Todoroki-nii on the phone late. Her emotions were confusing. A mixture of confusion and happiness. I think she was happy talking to him, but being sad and confused? She hasn't had those emotions in a while."

"Do you think Mr Todoroki has upset her somehow?"

Natsume shook his head. "I think something is happening and he knows about it, but I don't think he's the cause of it."

"Well she did see his dad yesterday. Maybe she was just thinking about your brother and got a bit upset. Maybe she told Mr Todoroki and he called her to check in on her."

"Maybe, but there's something else…" Natsume stared at the TV.

"What?"

"I woke up to her singing in her sleep."

"Oh, dear. I bet that was traumatic." Mrs Sano chuckled.

His gaze snapped to her. "No Mom. She sounded beautiful! Maybe even more so that Tama-nii."

His mother's eyes widened. "Really?"

Natsume nodded. "Then her emotions went crazy and she started to cry. I didn't know what to do so I just cuddled her. She was still asleep."

"Thank you for telling me, Natsu."

He met her gaze. "Don't tell Kaho-nee that I said anything."

A few minuets later, Kahoko entered the room. The shower drowned out their voices so even with her hearing she couldn't hear what they were talking about. "Morning." She said, her voice hoarse.

"Kaho, what's the matter?"

"I dunno, my throat hurts." She replied. It might have been because I was around Endeavour.

"I hope you're not getting sick." Her mother reached out and felt her forehead. "You are rather warm. Do you want me to ring the school?"

She shook her head. "I want to see my friends." She replied, giving a cough. "Do we have any medicine?"

Her mom nodded and went into the kitchen. "I'll make you some honey and lemon tea too, it'll help."

"Thanks, mom." She sat down next to her brother. "Are you alright, Natsu?"

He met her gaze. "I'm fine."

She frowned. What is he hiding…?

He sighed. "Are you alright?"

"Apart from feeling a little unwell, yeah."

"Did you dream about Tama-nii last night? You got a little upset in your sleep."

She sighed. "Yeah. Sorry if I woke you up."

"It's alright. I was just worried."

She reached out and ruffled his white locks. "You're so kind." She smiled. "But I'll be okay."

"Here you go." Her mom handed her a steaming cup of honey and lemon along with some pain killers. "Is Hitoshi coming to pick you up?"

"I think so, Todoroki said he'd go to the station with me too."

"About the training camp. I'm sorry that your dad and I can't come as trainers." Her mom said.

"It's fine, there's going to be loads of pros there considering what happened last time." She added.

"Just be careful." Her mother warned.

"Is dad still on that job?" Kahoko asked, changing the subject.

"Yes, he should be home tomorrow. He's upset that he didn't get the chance to see you before you went back to school."

"He'll see me next weekend, I'm sure he'll live." She giggled before coughing.

"Are you sure that you don't want to stay home?" Her mom looked at her with concern.

"Mom, I'm okay. If anything, it's just a little cold. I'll go the nurse's office when I get there if it's any worse." She stood up and drained her cup. "Thanks, mom. I'm going to get my things ready." She ran back up the stairs.

Hitoshi walked into the Sano's, it was a habit not to knock on the door when he knew that they were home. "Morning!" He called.

"Morning, Hitoshi!" Mrs Sano replied from the living room.

Hitoshi walked in. "Kaho?"

"She's upstairs getting her things ready to go back to school." Natsume told him.

Hitoshi nodded. "How is she?"

Mrs Sano sighed. "Maybe you can get something out of her. She's acting strange."

"She's in her room?"

"I believe so."

He dropped his overnight bag onto the couch and made his way upstairs. He stopped at her room.

"For you without the strength to fight, hear me and I shall be your light, take what is mine and become strong… together we'll fight as one…"

Hitoshi frowned. Is that Kaho?! He cleared his throat and knocked on her door.

"Come in!" She called.

He walked in to see her folding up some t-shirts.

"Hitoshi. Hey." She smiled.

"Hey." He sat on her bed. "Kaho, what were you singing just now?"

"Singing?" She raised a brow. "Me?"

"Yeah."

She shrugged. "I don't remember." Is this the same as when Todoroki asked me? She coughed. "Sorry, I think I might be getting a cold."

Hitoshi took in her pale skin and slightly flushed cheeks. "Still having nightmares even after meeting Endeavour?"

She shook her head. "Not really, I took some advice from Todoroki, that I should let Tama-chan in. I think it worked because I heard what he was trying to say to me. It wasn't much to go by but it's a start."

"Are you sure you want to go back to school this week? Maybe you should stay here and rest a little." He reached out and cupped her cheek. "You're really warm. Maybe you're getting a fever too."

"I want to go back. I'll be fine." She placed her hand over his reassuringly. "You worry too much."

"Okay, but I'll be keeping an eye on you."

"You always do."

Shoto was getting ready to leave when his brother knocked on his door.

"Dad wants to see you." Natsuo said.

Shoto sighed. "What now?"

"I don't think it's anything bad. He seems in a good mood."

Shoto rolled his eyes but did as he was told and headed for his father's office. He knocked and waited impatiently.

"Come in!"

Shoto opened the door and walked in, closing it behind him. "You wanted to see me?"

"Yes, how was Miss Sano when she left?"

"Okay, I think. Why?"

"Was just wondering, she seemed troubled when she left and the fact she didn't look very well."

"Do you blame her?" Shoto snorted. "She was sat talking to the man who was technically responsible for the death of her twin. I bet she has a lot more questions going through her mind than she had when she came over."

He gave a sigh. "True." He stood up. "She's very intellectual and quick witted."

Shoto smiled slightly. "I know that already."

"She obviously trusts you a great deal, considering everything."

Shoto met his father's gaze.

"About her dreams… you read about twins who both have quirks, right? I notice that you've taken a book out of the library on the subject."

Shoto nodded.

"Well, I believe what is written within those pages. And I think that is what's happening to her."

"But her brother died ages ago, why would it manifest now?"

Endeavour had a thoughtful expression. "Maybe it needed something to trigger it."

Shoto looked to the ground. Tamaki's music? What we found in his room?

"Shoto, do you know something?"

Shoto swallowed but shook his head. "No, nothing."

Endeavour raised a disbelieving brow. "Her brother's soul is reaching out to her within her dreams, maybe it's his way of awaking what he left behind."

"Why are you so interested in Sano's condition?"

"Curiosity maybe. Plus, she asked me for help. As a hero it's only right that I fulfil her wish." He leaned against his desk. "She seems very fond of you, and if she means a lot to you, well I only want to do right by you both from now. Make up for my past mistakes."

Shoto's eyes widened in disbelieve. What has gotten into him? Does he want to get to know Sano to exploit her somehow? Or is he genuinely ashamed of what happened and wants to make amends? His phone beeped. He pulled it out of his pocket and smiled at the message.

Ready when you are. Hitoshi is also going with us. See you soon – Sano.

"Is that her?"

Shoto cleared his throat, forgetting where he was for a moment. "Yeah. She's ready for me to go and take the train back to UA with her." He added.

Endeavour barked a laugh. "Well, get going. Don't keep your girlfriend waiting long." He smirked.

Shoto grumbled. "She's not my girlfriend…"

"Not yet."

Shoto flushed. Is my dad really teasing me about girls?

Endeavour laughed louder. "See you when you're next at home, son."

Shoto bowed his head and walked out.

Shoto knocked on the Sano's door and was greeted by Hitoshi. "Took your time."

"Sorry, I had to deal with my dad."

"Is everything alright?" He asked.

Shoto shrugged. "He had a lot to say about Sano." He said in a low voice.

Hitoshi frowned.

Shoto walked into the living room to see Kahoko sat with a mug of honey and lemon tea. "Sano?"

She looked over. "Oh, Todoroki. Hey." She smiled.

"You didn't sense me coming in?"

"I seem to have a cold… getting sick tends to hinder my quirk." She added. "My hearing is dulled."

"You have a cold? It isn't because of my father is it?" He walked over and put his cooling hand on her forehead. "You really should stay home."

"Not you as well! I'll be fine, it's just a stinking cold and should pass in a few days." She laughed before coughing.

"If you say so. But I think you shouldn't go to classes tomorrow." He folded his arms.

"I'll see how I feel tomorrow morning." She promised.

Her mom came in from the kitchen. "Stubborn, just like your brother was." She sighed. She handed Kahoko a box of medicine. "Take these with you."

Kahoko nodded taking it. "Thanks." She downed the rest of her drink before standing up.

"I heard Kaho was at yours yesterday evening, Mr Todoroki." Mrs Sano gave a smirk. "It's not like her to stay out late with a boy."

Hitoshi frowned. "I'm a guy."

"But you're Hitoshi." Mrs Sano stated.

Shoto felt his cheeks burn.

Kahoko glared at her mother. "Mom!"

Natsume giggled.

Hitoshi pouted a little.

Shoto cleared his throat and picked up Kahoko's bag for her. "Nice seeing you again, Mrs Sano." He gave her mom a sheepish smile.

"You too." She winked, then went to her daughter. "Take it easy." She wrapped her arms around her. "I'll get your dad to call you when he's home."

Kahoko nodded, still a little mad at her for her comment.

Natsume walked up to his sister and gave her a hug. "I'll see you soon, Kaho-nee."

"Yeah. See you soon." She kissed the top of his head and gave him a squeezing hug in return. She covered her mouth with her scarf and followed the other boys out of the door.

They all stood on the platform, waiting.

Kahoko patted Shoto's arm. "Sorry about my mom, she's embarrassing."

He gave a soft smile. "It's fine. I guess it's understandable giving the circumstances."

Hitoshi sighed. "I can't believe your mom doesn't see me as a man!"

Kahoko raised a brow.

"She seems to think I'm your pet puppy."

Kahoko giggled, before raising her hand and petting his violet hair. "Awwh… I always wanted one!"

Hitoshi grumbled but didn't complain about the contact. It was a motion she'd use when they were younger, and he'd get bullied. It always calmed his nerves and made his whole body turn to mush.

Shoto watched the interaction. Although it was an innocent exchange of fondness between friends, he couldn't prevent the unpleasant feeling in his gut. He looked to the ground.

"Aah-choo!" Kahoko squeaked.

"You should really-"

"Next person who says I should go home is getting round-housed." Kahoko cut Hitoshi off. "It's a cold."

"Yeah… but I know how your colds turn out." He replied, his face serious.

"If I get bad, you're more than welcome to call my parents to come and get me." She said.

"I'll hold you to that."

Shoto looked sideways to the girl. Even when sick she was still the prettiest girl he'd met.

Her normally shimmering emerald eyes were a little dullened and she had slight dark circles underneath her eyes. Her nose and cheeks were rosy too. She was wrapped up in layers of sweaters and a coat.

"I admire your determination."

She shot Shoto a small smile. "At least someone does."
