Chapter 7

Nagisa's pov:

Okay, sleeping next to Karma was something entirely new to Nagisa. Sure, he had slept in the same room with Karma in some school trips, but not in the same bed. Luckily, the bed was big enough for both of them.

He had been surprised by Karma's suggestion, but he didn't complain. Why would he? Knowing that the red head was right next to him calmed him down and Karma's scent made him feel save again. His warmness made Nagisa sleepy, but he refused to fall asleep.

Karma was laying right next to him, Nagisa facing his back. He wasn't sure that did the red head actually sleep or was he just acting to be sleeping. Nagisa wanted to talk with him, to hear his voice once again. But no one heard his silent wishes.

He slowly started to drift into the darkness, that dreams brought to him.

He was fighting with Karma. In the forest next to the E-class building. He knew what was going to happen next, he saw the look on Karma's face. He was going to use his trump card and defeat Karma for once and all.

But then, it didn't work.

Nagisa was too surprised to move at first. But then he realized, that it was his last chance to defeat the red head. He charged to the red head with his 'snake technique' and was prepared to slash the red head and hard.

He shouldn't't have done it.

Nagisa saw the cruel and cold look on Karma's eyes, and suddenly he was thrown back at the ground and the red head was on top of him. They stared at each other, Nagisa completely losing. He tried to free his hands from Karma's grip, but he couldn't. He couldn't do anything. Karma was keeping him in a strange pose, that made him lose all of his strenght.

Nagisa stared at the golden eyes and he saw… sadness?

Karma looked somehow sad. And guilty. But not for Nagisa, no. The red head didn't feel bad for hitting Nagisa, not for kicking his ass. There was obviously something - no, someone else on his mind. The red head leaned closer and whispered into Nagisa's ear: "This is as far as I'll go. Sorry."

Then, he loosened his grip of Nagisa and of course Nagisa used this as his chance to attack. The red head jumped away and let Nagisa do what he wanted. It didn't take long until Karma gave up.

Nagisa was left dumfounded by this. He knew, that Karma could've utterly destroy him - kill him. If it would've been a fight to death, Karma would've won a long time ago. But yet, he let Nagisa win.

The class was pretty dumfounded as well, most of them didn't understand. Probably no one did, not even Koro-sensei. Nagisa stared at Karma for a moment, before rushing to the red head.

"Why?" he asked quietly. Then he started yelling louder. "Why?! You could've won! I'm not weak Karma, you can't just quit on me! Why did you give up! WHY?!"

Nagisa's yelling didn't affect Karma at all, the red head stared at his eyes, empty look in his golden eyes.

"I wont", he heard the red head mutter.

"What?"

"I wont betray her", Karma said. "I wont break our promise."

Nagisa didn't understand any of it, nor did he understand the look on Karma's face. He watched carefully as the red head blinked his eyes and for a second he dropped the mask. Behind it, Nagisa saw darkness and bloodlust. Then he was smiling again.

"Congrats, Nagisa", he said, leaving the 'kun' out of it. Just like when they had been closer. "You did it."

No, Nagisa thought. This isn't a victory.

**Ansatsu Kyoushitsu**The Island arc**

Nagisa startled awake and grabbed his head, breathing heavily. Karma woke up as well, and the red head looked at him, surprised. Nagisa tried to calm his breathing, but he wasn't doing well. The dream was still freshly in his mind and he couldn't shake off Karma's eyes or his voice.

Then he felt someone touch his shoulder. He turned to look at his right and saw the red head. Right there. A worried but kind look in his eyes. Nagisa wasn't sure was this some mask as well, but Karma made him calm down.

"It's nothing", Nagisa mumbled. "Juts a bad dream."

The red head nodded knowingly and then checked the clock. He motioned to Nagisa, that it was his time to get up. Karma was up quickly and Nagisa felt little sad. But he was glad he stayed with the red head - waking alone would've been much more worse.

"Didn't Koro-sensei tell you to stay at bed?" Nagisa asked, as he started getting up as well.

Karma looked at him and wrote something down. He gave the paper to Nagisa and left to the bathroom.

Maybe, but tonight is the servants weekly meeting. I have to go to there, or I'll get in trouble. But it's nothing big y'know, I'll be back soon enough.

Nagisa felt like the red head was leaving something out, but he decided not to say anything about it. Soon he heard the shower. He decided that it was his time to leave now. He took the pen and wrote down to the paper his thanks and goodbyes.

Then he left quietly, closing the door after him.

"Good morning, Nagisa-sama."

Kasumi voice surprised him and he almost fell. Nagisa turned to look at the girl who was coming out of the room opposite of Karma's. She was already dressed in the workers uniform and was ready to start the day. And the clock was only five.

"Morning", Nagisa said, blushing a little. It was embarrassing for her to see, that he had been sleeping with Karma. And that sounded just wrong.

Or maybe not.

"Did you sleep well?" the silver haired girl asked, as they walked together towards the kitchen.

"Yes, what about you?" Nagisa answered.

Kasumi smiled, but shook her head. "It was kind of hard to sleep after what happened to Karma-kun. But I'm glad you were there with him."

Nagisa's blush darkened and Kasumi chuckled.

"So… Karma told me about the weekly meeting", Nagisa changed the subject. "Are all of you going there?"

"No", Kasumi answered. "Only Karma."

"Why? Shouldn't you go there instead of him - I mean his hurt and all."

"Karma's faced worse", Kasumi told him as she stopped in front of the fridge. "He can take this and the Leader is already expecting him. We can't change it anymore." Kasumi lowered her gaze and spoke more quietly: "Things are going to change now."

"What do you mean?" Nagisa asked.

Kasumi seemed to only now notice that Nagisa was still there. She pulled a quick smile on her lips and tilted her head little bit to the left. "Nothing sir! I'm just a bit tired, that's all."

"Oh, I see", Nagisa muttered. "Then, see you later."

"Yes, of course, sir."

Sugino and Kayano were both awake already, in his and Sugino's room. The green haired girl jumped out from Nagisa's bed as she saw him coming in.

"Where have you been?" Kayano asked, worried look in her eyes.

Crap! I totally forgot them!

"I was… well, you see, I was…", Nagisa stuttered. Oh, how could he explain this?

"You were with Karma-kun, weren't you?" Sugino asked - more liked stated - knowingly.

"How did you know?"

"I just guessed". Sugino sighed. "And I know that you care for the red head - a lot, I mean."

Nagisa blushed once again. "And what's that supposed to mean?"

"That we both know", Kayano explained.

"Know what?"

"C'mon Nagisa!" The green haired girl rolled her eyes and grabbed Nagisa's hand gently. She had a kind and warm smile on her face. "As your best friends, it's not hard to see how you feel. We both know how you feel about Karma-kun. I've always known, and I think Sugino-kun has known it as well."

"I don't get it..?" Nagisa really didn't know where the green haired girl was getting at. Kayano sighed dramatically.

"You like him, of course!" she said.

It took a moment for Nagisa to comprehend what Kayano had just said out loud. He had never really thought it like that. Sure, Karma was his close friend and very important to Nagisa, but like this? Did he really like the red head? Like that? Kayano's words really made him wonder.

"Don't tell us, that you realized it only now!" Sugino chuckled. "Seriously, I'm sure everyone in our class - in our former class, already knows about it. It wasn't that hard to find out about it."

Nagisa's heart skipped a beat and he took few steps back. "No, no, no, no!" He shook his head violently. "I don't…"

"No need to feel bad", Kayano said. "It doesn't matter how you feel against him, as long as you stay true to yourself. Who knows, maybe he likes you as well? He did let you stay at his room, didn't he?"

"Yes, bu-"

Kayano wasn't going to let him finish.

"Aha! I knew it!" she giggled. "Love's in the air!" She and Sugino started singing some old kid's love-song and Nagisa knew he was looking like a tomato.

"Don't worry, Nagisa-kun", Sugino said, after they stopped singing. "We'll always be here, no matter what. No matter who you like or who you hate. Friends forever, okay? And as long as you stay true to yourself - like Kayano said - you'll be okay. So don't deny it."

Nagisa knew his friends were right. He did like the red head more than as a friend. He really had some sharp eyed friends, didn't he? Nagisa wondered how many others had noticed the same thing - had Karma noticed the same thing?

"Do you think Karma's together with Kasumi?" Kayano wondered.

"I don't think so", Sugino said to that. "They are co-workers. Isn't it against the rules in some places to have a romantic relationship with co-workers?"

"Yeah", Nagisa nodded. "But Karma and Kasumi did share a room in the ship."

"WHAT?" both Kayano and Sugino yelled at him.

"Tell us about it", Kayano commanded.

"Yeah, right now!" Sugino nodded.

"You know, I'm starting to wonder, are you a boy or a girl, Sugino-kun? You seem to like gossiping", Nagisa mumbled and the raven haired boy just laughed. Then he turned to look at Kayano.

"And how come you're here Kayano?"

The green haired girl sweat dropped.

"Now, that's a whole another story…"

**Ansatsu Kyoushitsu**The Island arc**

Karma's pov:

He dried himself with a towel and stepped out of the bathroom. He had heard how the blue haired boy had left the room a while ago, and he saw the note Nagisa had left to his table. Karma didn't even bother to read it as he dressed up.

He grimaced as he accidentally hit his right side and he had to make sure the wound wasn't opening.

Honestly Karma hadn't expected the last nights visitor. Who could have?

He remembered waking up, because he heard the front door open. Then he heard footsteps, someone was definitely running towards the servants room. He had been up when his room door was slammed open, so hard that he door almost fell off.

In the doorway stood a muddy, tall man who was completely wet because of the rain. The man had a knife in his hand, but Karma didn't really react to that. He was just too surprised by the man.

"Death…", the man whispered.

Huh?

"Darkness…"

"Assassin…"

At the moment, the mans whispering was getting creepy. Karma took a step back, but his back was already facing the wall. So, no escaping.

"Kill."

Karma blinked his eyes and pushed the memory out of his mind, as he stepped out of his room and closed the door after him. The yellow octopus had cleaned all the mud out of the floors and he had even fixed Karma's door. Guess the octopus could be useful when needed. Karma sighed as he walked to the kitchen.

The stupid memory of last night kept playing in his mind over and over again, as he helped Kasumi cut the fruits for today's breakfast. The stupid man with his knife had ran towards Karma and stabbed him to his right side, before taking off. Just like that.

Kama didn't even get a chance to kick the man's ass for stabbing him.

"Karma-kun?" Kasumi asked. "Is there something wrong?" Karma turned to look at the silver haired girl, who was looking straight at him, worried look in her eyes.

He shook his head as an answer and continued his work. They didn't speak anything - or, Kasumi didn't speak - which was unusual, since she was always speaking when they cooked. Maybe she was little startled after the last night.

After all, they weren't only servants and yet, they had failed to see this coming.

When the clock closed nine, all of the customers had already come downstairs. Usually they would be up at ten am, so it seemed that Kasumi wasn't the only one startled by last night.

"Karma-kun." It was the stupid yellow octopus. Karma was standing outside the kitchen, while the yellow octopus had just appeared out of thin air. He looked up to the octopus and they stared at each other for a moment. Then one of the tentacles was suddenly in front of his face, patting his head. "Didn't I told you to stay in bed?"

Karma wasn't fast enough to answer to that, but he was lucky to have Kasumi around. The silver haired woman came out of the kitchen, holding on to some pancakes and she luckily had heard the octopus.

"Ah, Karma-kun has a meeting today", she told him, pushing Karma out of the way. "He has to leave there in an hour, so he decided to be nice and help me with the breakfast before going."

"A meeting?" asked the blonde woman from the table. Both Karma and Kasumi turned look at her.

"The servants weekly meeting", Kasumi explained. "It's in every Sunday."

"What kind of meeting is it?" the yellow octopus asked.

"Well, we - or in this case, Karma, just goes there and gives the report of this week to the men, that then give them to the Leader. It's simple as that." Kasumi set the pancakes to the table and she was already going to get the new ones, when the raven haired man stopped her.

"What does the report contain?" he asked.

Kasumi thought it for a moment. "Nothing special, really. Well, maybe this time, when we have to mention the last night in it, but usually it's just us telling what we've done within the week."

"I see", Karasuma said. "Then, when will Karma-kun be back?"

"By the night", Kasumi answered. "The way to the house were the meeting is held, is quite long. The trips there and back are longer than the meeting itself."

Karma sighed at the thought. He really wasn't looking forward to it. The trips really were boring, and he had to go there with few other servants, that couldn't shut up. He really hated it.

"Nurufufufu", the yellow octopus chuckled next to him. "Seems like someone isn't too happy to go there."

Karma blushed a little, feeling ashamed for thinking something like that, and at the moment, all he wanted to do was to punch the stupid octopus.

Oh, he really hated his job.

**Ansatsu Kyoushitsu**The Island arc**

Karma left the house at ten. He walked few miles, until he came to a familiar store and there he saw the small bus that took the servants from this side of the island to the meeting place. He walked quietly to the bus and only nodded to the driver. The bus was almost full already, but luckily he did find a empty seat.

The bus started moving, and someone sat next to Karma. It was a young woman, little older than Karma himself and she had sunglasses and a big hat, that shadowed her face. She was dressed into the same worker's uniform as Karma, but she had gloves on her hands. Karma couldn't see her face, but he could see that the woman had blue hair. He didn't remember that anyone of the servants had blue hair - and believe it or not, he actually could remember every person he had met in the island, so this woman had to be new.

Or not.

Karma did recognize her after a while. But she was definitely not a servant.

The woman didn't say anything at first, she just gave Karma a paper - without anyone seeing of course. Karma didn't bother reading the paper right away, he just hid it in his jacket's pocket.

Karma didn't really have to read the paper in order to know what the woman wanted from him.

"So, are you doing well?" the woman asked. Her voice was very high and playful. She turned her gaze at him and Karma could see the leaf green eyes looking at him with curiosity and a small, but definitely mischievous smile had formed on her lips. Her skin was pale but smooth, to put it so that everyone could easily understand - she was a very beautiful woman.

But if you knew her any better; she was an annoying bitch. At least, that's what Karma thought. Because the woman was definitely a bad person, she was cruel and always played with peoples feelings. She was pretty much the same with Kasumi - expect she had nothing good inside. She knew how to act nice (at least for a moment), but everyone who knew her, knew what kind of person she really was.

"Oh wait", the woman laughed. "I forgot already, you don't talk!" Her laughter annoyed the shit out of Karma, but he had to control his temper. It was no use to kill the woman. Or even punch her. She would just hit him back - twice as hard. And it would end up in an all-out battle.

Karma wasn't in a mood for that.

"Well, I'll drop out soon", the blue haired woman said, looking out of the window. "Remember to read the paper with Kasumi and Hiro", she whispered. "It's interesting, I promise."

Karma just nodded as an answer.

"Good boy", she said, smiling wider. She stood up and walked to the driver, who after a moment of talking stopped the bus. Karma observed carefully as the woman walked out and stood on the right side of the road, looking around. The bus closed its doors and then drove away. Before completely losing the sight of the woman, Karma saw her waving at the bus a big smile on her face. For someone so troublesome, she was pretty short. But definitely fast and big mouthed.

That Ume… She's gonna get it someday, Karma thought bitterly, as he crossed his arms on his chest. The blue haired woman always annoyed the shit out of everyone she talked to, just so she could see their reactions. And that's what was going to get her killed someday.

Karma took the paper out of his pocket and read it. What Ume had written on it was indeed interesting and Karma had to smile a little. At least the girl knew how to make things more fun.

Kasumi had been right.

Things really were changing.

**Ansatsu Kyoushitsu**The Island arc**

Koro-sensei's pov:

The sun was setting and Koro-sensei was about to call everyone inside from the beach - but he was stopped by Kasumi's voice. He himself was standing at the backdoor, looking at the ocean and his students who were enjoying the warm water. He heard Kasumi talking with someone on the phone and he just had to sneak closer to listen. The silver haired girl had been a little more out of it today, and Koro-sensei was curious to find out why.

"So, did something go wrong?" Kasumi asked.

The silver haired girl was standing in the living room, alone, and Koro-sensei was right behind the corner, so Kasumi couldn't see him no matter which way she looked.

"I see", he heard the silver head say. "Do I need to come over? Is he okay?" The girl didn't sound panicked, but Koro-sensei was concerned. Had someone gotten hurt? Maybe it was Karma, since they boy had yet to return from the strange meeting.

"Really? Are you sure, sir?" Kasumi asked, worry now showing in her voice. Koro-sensei looked at her and saw the same time worried, but annoyed expression on her face. Whoever she talked to was her superior, but Kasumi certainly had no respect for him.

"Understood, sir", Kasumi mumbled. The call was coming to an end. "Yes. Of course, sir. Then, have a good night, sir. Bye." She sighed and lowered the phone.

Then she turned to look at the corner where Koro-sensei was hiding.

"You can come out now, sir", she said.

How did she know I was there?!

"Nurufufufu", Koro-sensei chuckled, trying not to show his surprise and fear. He had hidden himself well, no way the girl could've heard him or smelled him! "Good job realizing I was there."

Kasumi stared at him, but said nothing.

"Who were you talking to?" Koro-sensei asked, as he sat down on the couch.

"To some higher-ups", Kasumi told him.

"Does this have something to do with the servants meeting?"

Kasumi nodded slowly.

"You seem stressed out. Come and sit down with me. You can tell me everything you want to, Kasumi-san." The silver girl didn't seem to find a way to decline Koro-sensei's offer, so she sat down opposite of the octopus. "Now, what's worrying you so much?"

Kasumi narrowed her eyes for a second, but smiled kindly then. "I'm just little concerned of Karma-kun. You probably know that he isn't the type submit under anyone", she said. "Last time he went to the meeting, he almost got himself killed - all because he refused to do something he was ordered to do."

"Yes, I know Karma-kun can be very… capricious." Oh, Koro-sensei knew it all, and very well indeed.

Kasumi chuckled. "I know, right? But anyway, Karma had gotten himself in some fight again, and… well, it didn't end so well."

"Is Karma-kun hurt?"

"What? No!" Kasumi almost laughed. "Of course not - if you didn't know, Karma's has the strenght of a monster. But he did get in trouble, so he'll be coming back later. Or he was supposed to be here two hours ago." Kasumi sighed. "He's soon here, that's all."

"I'm glad to hear that."

Kasumi nodded and then she smiled at him, kindly as always. Or maybe not.

Koro-sensei observed the silver haired girl carefully, her every movement and every word she said. He was coming to a conclusion. It had felt weird and wrong at first time when he thought about it - at Wednesday -, but maybe Kasumi was wearing a simple mask, that was very well designed. It was like the silver haired girl had planned everything out.

Like she would know every move that her opponent played in the game of chess.

Maybe he was right and the thought of that was becoming even bigger possibility now, when he observed the girl close by. Was it really possible that Kasumi was just acting? Was it possible that all of this, her kindness, her smiles - were just a plan in some game she played?

Were they playing right into her hands?

"Ne, Koro-san", Kasumi said. "How do you know Karma-kun?"

"I don't know him", Koro-sensei answered. "We met in the ship for the first time. He just looked interesting when I first saw him. He looked like… he wouldn't belong here."

Kasumi was quiet for a moment. "I'm sure we're all in the wrong place", she finally said, smiling that kind and charming smile again. "But, please sir, there's no reason to lie to me."

"...What do you mean?"

"I know, that Karma isn't exactly a stranger to you guys", Kasumi explained, her smile turning to little sinister. "You all seem to know him someway, especially Nagisa-sama. I'm even starting to think, that he has some stronger feelings for Karma-kun."

Stronger feelings?

Yeah, Koro-sensei had also noticed that. But he didn't mind, as long as Nagisa and Karma were happy.

So, he decided to tell the silver haired girl in front of him the truth. Not about the mission, not the reason they were there - but the reason why he cared for Karma. And he wanted to hear the truth as well.

"Well then, to put it simply", Koro-sensei said, nodding at the same time. "Karma is my old student. And as his teacher, I want to make sure he is well. And the same goes for his former classmates."

"You said you teach criminals", Kasumi pointed out. "Karma isn't a one. He's just a victim in this island, like almost every other servant."

"Then, do you think I'm lying?" Koro-sensei asked, his smile getting wider.

Kasumi shook her head. "No, you're definitely telling the truth right now. But there's something missing." Then, she dropped the mask completely, letting her sinister and cold aura - bloodlust - out. "But, Koro-san, don't play a game you can't win. Just so people around you wont get hurt."

The yellow octopus was too slow to realize what Kasumi was talking about. She was already back to normal and leaving to make some food. Koro-sensei was left alone to the couch, Kasumi's words ringing in his ears.

"Don't play a game you can't win."

This was new to Koro-sensei. The silver haired girl was able to hide her true self completely and it was like she had the complete control over everything. Koro-sensei himself was a monster, he was fast, wise and almost immortal. Yet, Kasumi left him into the dust. That girl had something more. Something that Koro-sensei could never ever get back.

She was still human.

And a strange one too, but still, she had what Koro-sensei didn't.

Then he heard the front door open and soon, Karma was standing in the hall. They stared at each other for a while, and Koro-sensei had to wonder - was the red head same with Kasumi?

Was he too, playing some game?

Game, that even Koro-sensei couldn't quite understand.
