The ride was better thank Hikari had expected. They moved swiftly through the night, the large tiger like creature following Haruka's directions towards her house while she kept the now unconscious Haruka steady on made sure she didn't fall off. The arrived to her house in no time, through she wasn't pleased to find that her adoptive parents were still there and awake. Jiro shrunk back to his normal size, and Hikari was left to haul Haruka into the house. As soon as her parents saw her they panicked. "What is going on?!" Her 'father' demanded, glaring at the girl in Hikari's arms. The white haired girl rolled her eyes and glared back at the man. "This is my friend from school, she was at the damn party you forced me to go to, oh did I mention we were attacked? Yeah. It was a blast." She pushed past him and made her way to her room, her parents staring at her like she had grown a second head and was speaking in a different language. "By the way-" She called out from the door way of her room. "Tomorrow, I'm moving out." Her door was slammed shut, cutting off the man's yell of displeasure as the red head was placed on a queen sized bed. She stared at the girl for a moment, before sighing and swooping down to grab the first-aid kit that was under her bed.
She set to fixing up Haruka's injured arm, and then she managed to get the sleeping girl to swallow a pain pill. That was all she really could do, but she figured some good food would help the girl when she woke up, so Hikari left Haruka in her room and headed out to the kitchen, shutting the door so her parents couldn't bother the girl, through she was happy to see that her parents had retreated to their room for the night. Because Hikari couldn't stand her adoptive parents, she had ended up with a room as far from their's as possible, so her rooms was by the kitchen and and main exit of the house, while they slept on the third floor all the way in the back. Hikari could throw a party and it wouldn't wake them up, so she could make some food for Haruka and not have to worry about being bothered by them again tonight.
She wasted no time in getting things ready. It was a rather chilly night, and hot chocolate always helped Hikari's nerves after a bad mission, so she sent up a pot and started to make the drink, in hopes it would help Haruka. She then set to work in making some Mochi, it wasn't her favorite, but she had seen Haruka eat it before, and she seemed to enjoy it, so why not? It took about twenty minuets to get everything made and set up on two wooden trays that Hikari carried easily into her room, smiling at the now awake Haruka. "Hey Haruka, I wasn't sure what you liked but I made some hot chocolate and Mochi." She set the tray down in Haruka's lap before sitting on the chair by the bed. She smiled at the other girl and took a sip of her own hot chocolate. "If you don't like it I can take it back and make something else for you." The girl shrugged carelessly before pointing towards the small bowl of cream that also sat on Haruka's tray, grinning sheepishly. "That's not for you through, that's for Jiro, as a thanks." She grinned at the cat before taking another sip of her hot chocolate. "How do you feel? I have more pain pills if your arm hurts." She pointed towards the first-aid kit that sat on the bed side table, the lip open, revealing a bottle of water, a bloody rag, a bottle of pain pills, thread, and a needle, along with some gauze and padding that Hikari had used to fix up Haruka's arm.
