Chapter 8 : Toduroki's

It's a sunny day. 

I'm watching cartoons on tv while mommy and grandma are in the kitchen. Grandpa and uncle are out of town for work.

I hear the phone ringing in front of me on the table.I checked who's calling. 

"Grandma!  It's Auntie Rei. "

It's not a surprise, she calls every now and then. I only talked with my aunt on the phone but never met before. Every time grandma's face became gloomy after the call. She seems to be consoling her.  There's something she is hiding. I didn't waste my time thinking about it but continued watching tv.

Suddenly grandma was talking louder on her call.

"Rei!  What happened?  Why's Shoto crying! Rei? " 

Did something happen? 

" What happened mom?  What was she talking about? "

" Ru(Miharu)!   tell the driver to start the car, we're heading out."

And here I'm going to my aunt's place. I know this isn't going to be a happy gathering.

Grandma's trying to call grandpa but it's saying Unable to reach. 

Soon we reached there.  Fire!?  The house is on fire!  

" We're late!" Mom said. 

There were people near the gate but none of them didn't dare to go in. Because of my Uncle! 

Number 2 hero, Endeavor!  

Grandma was leading the way while mom was putting out the fire with ice. 

She seems to be having difficulties putting out the fire. 

" Mom, should I help?  "

Mom denied it.

The flame was getting higher and higher.  Grandma seems to be unwell  but she won't stop. I couldn't just stand here doing nothing. 

I activated my quirk. Use it on fire. With the help of me the two of us finally was able to put out the fire. 

" Granny!  You're here!" 

My cousin Fuyumi (Fuyumi Toduroki) came out from inside. Was crying loudly! 

" It's okay now, we're here. What happened? "

" It's Shoto! Mom threw boiling water on him. Dad became angry at her and the house is on fire! "

Hell flames work like my Heavenly ice. It's connected to emotion. It gets icer in my case but in hell flame!  It's fire! 

I can hear uncle shouting at auntie. Grandma rushed inside. 

Auntie was in poor condition, she was mentally shocked. 

" Stop Enji!  Shouting at Rei Won't solve anything! "

Uncle turned to us, his eyes were scarry!

 The flame that was coming from his body became stronger.  Is he nuts!?  

Mom was busy with Shoto who was trumbing at the corner. It's just me… 

" Uncle, plz stop!!! " I removed the luminous pearl from my neck. 

Heavenly ice!

Instant power that can counter the heat.

Uncle narrowed his eyebrows. I'm feeling the pressure. It's so hot! I'm feeling unwell. 

Sweat's all over my body though my quirk is ice! Is it possible? 

He stopped and went toward Shoto. 

I fell on the ground.

That's called what It's real heat. I used my powers for too long, shit!  

Without westing time I went toward grandma.

" Grandma, are you okay? "

"Yes dear, help me lift your untie " 

Meanwhile,

Uncle has already left for the hospital. Doesn't he care about auntie? 

We came to the hospital with my auntie. The doctor is checking auntie's condition. 

Sister Fuyumi and brother Natsuo are standing by, mom is with Shoto. 

Suddenly I feel my head dozing off, feeling a pressure in my chest. I lost my balance and Sister Fuyumi grabbed me. 

" Mahi?"

 I lost my sense~ 

After that when I opened my eyes I saw Sister Fuyumi. 

"Mahi! you're awake. Do you need anything? " 

I said no. She seems worried. Hearing this she went off to tell mom that I'm awake. 

I turned my head and saw a boy looking at me with watery eyes.Woh! 

Red and White hair divided in half. 

It's Shoto Toduroki! 

Half of his face is covered with bandages. What should I say here?  Will it make it awkward if I ask him how he is?  

"A-are you feeling well now? "

Shoto nodded, " yes…"

" It's hurting?  "

" A lot! "

I imagine zipping my lips. Why is he so straight forward?!  

After a while mom came, kissed my forehead. 

"Moooom!!!" I said in an embarrassed tone.

"Baby are you okay? "

"Yes mommy"

" Did you know how much I was worried, why did you remove your necklace?  You know It's very important for you "

"Sorry mom!  I was too rushy "

It was already noon, mommy was feeding me and Shoto lunch. 

Shoto might be a shy kid! 

He refused to eat but now he's enjoying it very much.

After that we chatted a little. We're the same age so It's easy to get along. But mom interrupted saying that I'm smaller than Shoto. 

So I'm the youngest!  

In the evening I saw grandpa at the hospital. He seems angry. 

We all came back home at night along with auntie, sister Fuyumi, brother Natsuo and Shoto. 

So bye bye to uncle. 

I later on learned that grandpa and uncle had a huge argument. 

After that day uncle Enji came many times to bring back the kids with him. 

But none of them agreed to go with him.

Everytime auntie would get wild if she saw uncle. 

Grandpa and uncle Enji have a bad relationship!  

Few days later. On the weekend we were having a picnic at the gurdan. 

But the vibes changed after uncle Enji came. 

" Don't come any farther!  "

Uncle warned him. Before he would step in the garden. 

" Why Don't you understand that my sister gets terrified when you show up! "

" I'm just here to get my kids back! "

I'm getting a bad feeling about this. 

"You don't understand right…"

A huge amount of ice left my sight. Uncle  Enji easily blocked it.

Fight Between uncle's.  

 In the fight uncle lost to uncle Enji badly! and was injured. we had to bring him to the hospital.

Uncle was standing without feeling guilty for his action..

 I saw Shoto going toward him.

Looked into his eyes.

For Uncle Enji Shoto only had hatred. 

" You're a horrible father!... It… it was not mom's fault who hurt me but It's you who's responsible for everything!  Including brother Toya!  You...you killed him!  You only cared about that number 1 position!  "

What's he talking about? Killing?  Uncle Enji? It's already terrifying hearing it. I can't guess how much he suffered. 

"Y..you forbade mom from not interfering in my training, do you even know how much pain I go Through?  Hear it dad!  I hate you!  I hate  you so much that I Won't use your powers! I'll prove to you that I'll get to the good for nothing number 1 spot using only mom's powers! I Don't need you!! " 

Everyone present there was silent. 

I got gross bums hearing Shoto state his hatred toward Uncle Enji.

This family is strange!
