Hiraeth (Bakugo Katsuki x Oc) [COMPLETED]

Ch.25 - Pâro

"The first thing you say to us after being missing for three days, is asking if the cat's okay?" Senshi's mother asked in slightly disbelief. The six people in the room chuckled as the girl's question, even Senshi herself. "Yes he's fine is your answer."

A police officer that wasn't Senshi's father cleared her throat, grabbing everyone's attention as their hugs deformed. "I'm sorry to ruin the moment, but if the parents could sign these documents to ensure their collection that would be great."

The two pairs of parents walked away from their children, Katsuki's father ruffling Katsuki's hair as the boy himself huffed in annoyance; though Senshi secretly knew they boy was relishing in the touch.

Katsuki and Senshi picked up their back-packs, and walked towards where their parents were; them being stood at a counter signing paper work. Both escapees were still tired, their hearts heavy with the feeling of such exhaustion.

"Come on Katsuki, we're going." His mother said, the boy walking off, nodding to Senshi as a goodbye as she smiled softly at him.

Senshi's parents followed shortly after, Senshi following behind her parents as she got in the back seat of her car. The moment the final car door shut Senshi felt it, the unimaginable tension between her parents. Her mother was seething, and Senshi could tell that her anger was passing onto her father as every moment went on.

What her mother was angry about was unknown, and now Senshi realised, the unknown was her biggest fear. The villains coming was unknown, whether she was going to survive in Kamino was unknown, but one thing that had stuck with her her whole life, her parents, she never knew them. She never has and never will know them, because the people in question have ruined their chances, and Senshi could forgive someone thousands of times, but only trust them once. And unfortunately for her parents, if they were to fight today, the trust would be broken like a snapped string.

It was like these than Senshi wished she could put a wall between her and her parents, and that it were soundproof; but that would never be an option, because all she would be doing would be wasting her energy. In an attempt to save herself from the guttural tension, Senshi forced herself to sleep; something she'd been forced to practice. 

She awoke minutes later as the car was driving down the road towards her house, her parents voices raising at each other by every passing moment.

Senshi had regret rattling through her like soundwaves through the air, she shouldn't have come here. She should have just gone to her room and gone to sleep like she so desperately desired. Heck she could've even gone to the kitchen for proper food.

But no, Senshi decided to go to her living room, which was, coincidentally, the place that her parents had chosen as their war zone. "TANTEI! YOU FUCKING BASTARD! FOR THE THIRD FUCKING TIME THIS YEAR YOU'VE FAILED TO KEEP OUR DAUGHTER SAFE!"

"AND THAT'S MY JOB NATSUKO?! SHOULDN'T YOU BE PROTECTING HER AS HER MOTHER?"

"Don't. You. Dare. Go. There."

"WHY NOT! JUST BECAUSE I'M RIGHT YOU CAN'T COPE WITH IT!"

"I CAN COPE WITH IT! BUT AS A POLICE OFFICER YOU SHOULD BE EVEN MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE MATTER!"

Senshi couldn't leave, her parents were arguing in the archway that led to the stairs, rendering the girl stuck. Not even the TV could cover this one up, Tsuki had retreated to another part of the house, leaving another gaping feeling in Senshi's heart.

But that sadness was quickly masked with hopelessness. Senshi could tell that this fight, it wouldn't end soon. (Or at all)

"HOW DO YOU THINK SEN FEELS?! HER RELYING ON HER FATHER TO SAVE HER AND LOOK HERE! HE COULDN'T EVEN DO THE FUCKING JOB!"
