It Struck A Heart String With Many (BNHA x OC)

Chapter 13

"What's going on?" he asked.

She ignored his question in favor of asking her own, "What was Ishi making in the cafeteria earlier?".

He thought for a moment before he was able to remember "It was that new Chinese dish she found the other day, a sesame jellyfish salad" he stated with a thumbs up. "It sounded really good I hope there's some left over for me" his eyes glazed over and he drooled a bit at the fantasy.

"You guys have to get the snakes to calm down without calming her down, can you do that?" Chiyo ordered the two dark haired teachers inching closer to Ishi.

"What!?" Aizawa yelled.

"Is that even possible!?" Nemuri had to dodge yet another snake that seemed to be after her head.

"It doesn't matter if it's possible, you have to do it. She's having an allergic reaction to the jellyfish she was cooking with earlier, the adrenaline from her panic is allowing her to breathe, but once it goes away she won't be able to anymore." Chiyo hurried over to the opposite kitchen door, heading to the hallway where there was a small oxygen mask and cask, enlisting a shocked Toshinori to help her carry it back into the kitchen. "I don't have any adrenaline here with me and the nurses office is too far away, you need to hurry or she could go into shock." she commanded, leaving no room for argument.

"Fine." Aizawa barked, his own panic rising.

"Hebi, we really need your help" Nemuri pleaded, calling the name of the only snake she could ever remember, "Ishi is in danger right now and we need to help her, but we can't do that if you are going to hurt us." The snakes didn't stop, or even calm down in the slightest.

"Goddamn, it if you don't back down she's going to die!" Aizawa snapped. At this, the writhing mass of snakes froze, leaving enough time for All Might to rush in with the oxygen mask and tank that he and Recovery Girl had grabbed. The adrenaline was still allowing her to breathe, but it wasn't quite enough.

"Could really use that medication right about now." He said, looking at Recovery girl out of the corner of his eye while she rummaged through the medical kit that was stored under the kitchen sink.

"Got it!" she declared, pulling albuterol from the kit and rushing over to administer the drug.

Slowly Ishi's breathing evened out until it was average and she loosened up all of her muscles. Aizawa caught her as she started to collapse, while Chiyo pried her arms away from each other and gave each of them a big kiss to heal the scabbing cuts on her arms, before walking up to her head to kiss the spaces on her cheeks just below the bandages.

The sink hissed as a steady flow of water fell from the faucet as Nemuri wet a cloth and walked over to Ishi, wiping the remaining blood off of her cheeks and newly healed arms. "I'm so sorry baby." she whispered, fighting tears. The sports festival planning was in full swing for its arrival the following week, and one of the last pieces was the extra security that was being put into place because of the attack a few weeks prior at USJ.

The nest of snakes sagged on the floor in exhaustion as Ishi fought sleep herself. "The security team for the Sports Festival is here for a meeting. I'm sorry we forgot to tell you, you must have been so scared. I'll yell at Mic later for cutting himself and not cleaning it up" Nemuri murmured, directing All Might to take her from Aizawa's still bandaged arms. He hesitated, eyeing the snakes attached to her head in skepticism. Sure he had helped earlier, but it was more of an 'in the moment' kind of thing rather than him having grown to trust her. "Do it or I'll give you Bakugou duty for a month." Nemuri threatened, just loud enough for him to hear.

With haste, he slipped his arms underneath her knees and shoulders, lifting Ishi from Aizawa's aching body. He then worked his way toward the far side of the kitchen, intending to bring her back to her room.
