Hello again!

By the way, thanks for all the reviews so far! I was supposed to mention that before, but it always slipped my mind.

And since it was asked, yes, this will be Karunagi. Akakuro will be there too, but I guess it's just kinda there, rather than being a main point of the story... There are some moments, though. But the main focus will be on Karunagi.

"Karma-kun, that was rude", Nagisa said once he was sitting on his new bed. Karma was sitting across from him, on the other end of the bed. The boy looked hesitant and unsure, a look that Nagisa didn't even dream of associating with Karma. It seemed that it was a look that should be associated with Karma.

"I was afraid", Karma stated. Nagisa blinked. "Afraid?"

"Yesterday, I just..." Karma bit his lip and leaned his elbow to his knee before leaning his head onto his hand. "Even the thought of coming to Class 3-E after yesterday made me afraid."

"Afraid of what?" Nagisa asked, confused. What on Earth could make Karma afraid of their class? It wasn't like anyone would be mad at him. They were all just worried of him!

"All of you", Karma stated, looking at Nagisa. "I'm afraid of coming back."

"Why?" Nagisa asked. "It's not like we're mad at you or anything! We're worried about you!"

"Do you know how hard it is for me to believe that?" Karma asked, straightening up a bit. "You saw me when I went completely crazy. I... No one could be near me without being afraid."

That's when Nagisa realized. Karma wasn't afraid of them being mad or worried of him. He was afraid that they were afraid of him. After the situation yesterday, Nagisa had to admit, he couldn't blame Karma for believing that. At first, Nagisa himself had been scared of Karma, but only first. Then his mind kicked into action and he realized something must be up for that to happen.

"Karma-kun... Would you tell me everything?" Nagisa asked.

Karma snorted. "What 'everything'?"

"Your eyes changed colors", Nagisa stated. "Why? What happened yesterday?"

Karma was silent. Nagisa already thought the boy wouldn't talk, when he finally did. "I... I have split personality. Have had ever since I was little."

"Split personality? Like your father?" Nagisa blinked. Karma glanced at him and shot a humorless smirk to him. "I see everyone else told you. But mine is worse. Dad has just Oreshi and Bokushi. I have three."

"Three?" Nagisa blinked. Karma nodded. "Aka, Ki and Akaki. Friendly names."

"Do the names refer to your eye color? Since I'm fairly sure it changes regarding who you are", Nagisa said. Karma nodded. "Right now, I'm Aka. Aka is... he's the one who I really am. I had red eyes when I was born, you know?"

"Aka is your actual personality, huh?" Nagisa smiled. "Then, you're your real self right now."

"I only show it around family. I... I don't want to come off as weak", Karma explained. "And Aka, he's just that. Weak, unsure, emotional. I don't want anyone else than family to see this side of me."

"But I'm family", Nagisa pointed out. "We're family."

Karma smiled and nodded. "Yeah. We're family now."

"Is Ki the Karma everyone else know?" Nagisa asked. "The one who everyone in school see?"

"Yeah", Karma nodded. "He's the sadistic delinquent. The guy who will prank you and fight other delinquents. I... I have pretty much control over him, like Dad has of Bokushi nowadays."

"You have control over him, huh?" Nagisa smiled.

"I... I think you could say that Ki has also become my actual personality", Karma admitted. "I couldn't live without Ki's existence. Being just Aka... It would be horrifying, thinking of it."

"But you have Ki", Nagisa smiled. "He's the strong person you want others to see, right?"

Karma hummed in agreement. Then he frowned. "Then there's Akaki. The guy you saw yesterday."

"I've never seen him before", Nagisa admitted.

"He doesn't come out often. I... I can feel when he's about to come out, too", Karma admitted. "I usually try to stay away from people when that happens, just so that something worse than yesterday won't happen."

"I see", Nagisa nodded. "You can't control him?"

"I can't even remember what he does unless I really try to", Karma said. "Like yesterday, with this. I wanted to remember what happened to my hand." Karma gestured to his right hand.

"Karma-kun..." Nagisa mumbled.

"Hey... don't call me with an honorific anymore", Karma then said. Nagisa blinked and then smiled, nodding. "Okay. But you do the same."

"Sure thing", Karma smiled. "Umm... You do know of Dad and..."

"Dad?" Nagisa nodded. "It was kind of hard not to realize."

Karma nodded. They sat there, in an awkward silence, for a while before Karma spoke again. "I... I don't know what I'm going to do from now on."

Nagisa immediately realized what he meant. School, friends. Nagisa would help him. "You don't need to choose now. Though, everyone is really worried of you. Okuda thought you might have died and cried because of it for the whole day."

Karma smiled a bit, though it was a sad smile. "I just... I just can't come and face them. Not yet, at least. They wouldn't understand, even if I explained."

"They would. But it's okay, Karma. Take it easy", Nagisa smiled. "Gather your thoughts and then decide what you want to do."

"Will you be there for me?" Karma asked, looking at Nagisa with those oh so beautiful red eyes. They held so much insecurity, fear and hope that Nagisa couldn't answer in any other way than he did. He wouldn't have answered in any other way, either. "Of course I will."

Karma and Nagisa smiled there for a moment before breaking into fits of chuckles. They laughed there, for quite some while, before calming down.

"We should go back", Nagisa said. "It was really rude just leaving like that."

"They won't mind. They know how I act", Karma smirked, but it wasn't the usual smirk. It was gentle and kind, everything Ki's smirks weren't.

"Still", Nagisa said as they got up from the bed and moved to the door and to the hallway. "You act like an immature child."

"Maybe I am", Karma chuckled a bit.

"Yeah right", Nagisa rolled his eyes. Karma pouted, the expression kind of cute on his face, before lightly punching Nagisa's shoulder with his left hand. Nagisa just laughed as the came back to the living room.

The adults turned to look at them. There was still lots of food on the table, yet the adults had definitely been eating already.

"Done with your talk?" Daiki asked. Nagisa and Karma nodded, sitting back to their original places and starting to choose what and how much they'd eat. Soon enough, both had a plateful of food in front of them.

"Eh, but Karma, isn't it hard to eat with your left hand?" Ryota asked as he realized that Karma was eating with his left hand. He couldn't use his right hand, after all. It was broken and Shintaro's orders had been to not move it around too much.

"No", Karma said. "I'm ambidextrous."

"Really?" Nagisa blinked. "I didn't know."

"It's one of the few things that Seijuro forced Karma to learn", Shintaro admitted. "For situations like these."

"Sometimes there's the need to use only one hand. Like right now", Seijuro smiled. "It's only good for him to be able to use both hands as well."

"But you usually do everything with your right hand", Nagisa pointed.

"I was originally right-handed, so I still use it as a dominant hand", Karma admitted. "But when situations come when I just can't use my right hand, I'm just fine writing and eating with left hand."

"That's useful, actually", Daiki admitted.

"But wait", Tetsuya frowned. "Are you two classmates?"

"We are", Karma and Nagisa nodded.

"I didn't know you allowed Karma to be on Class 3-E?" Tetsuya turned to his lover. Seijuro chuckled. "As long as he's having fun, I don't mind him being there."

"Everyone in this family seem to have the same view on certain things", Taiga said.

"If you don't like being somewhere, say, a club or class, you shouldn't be forced to stay there", Seijuro pointed out. "On the other hand, if you enjoy being somewhere, you shouldn't be forced to get out."

"Wise words", Nagisa said. Tetsuya nodded. "Hiromi should start understanding that, too."

"Anyways", Daiki looked at Nagisa. "How do you like it here so far?"

"It's nice", Nagisa admitted. "It will take time to get used to this, but it's nice."

"That's good to know", Shintaro admitted. "Beware, though, because it will get noisier."

"Yup, it totally will", Karma warned. "These guys are just a small part of the family. There will be a lot of others, too."

"How many?" Nagisa asked.

"Many", everyone else around the table said. Nagisa smiled. "I think I can handle it."

"Oh, he's such a nice kid!" Ryota cried in happiness. "Nagisacchi!"

"Nee, I know you would like to just settle down and relax", Seijuro said, "but would you mind coming to the Akashi Mansion tomorrow for dinner?"

Nagisa blinked as Tetsuya glanced at him. He then looked at the redhead who had suggested it. "I thought you were going to allow me to have Dad for now?"

The rest of the adults looked at him with wide eyes. Even Karma looked a bit surprised by his words. Seijuro just chuckled, though. "Yes, and I mean those words. Rather, I'm worried about his mental health." At that, Seijuro glanced at Karma. Everyone else turned to the boy, too, and he looked confused and shocked. "What?"

"There's really no one to socialize with in the Mansion", Seijuro explained. "He refuses to go to school, too, so it would take a lot of stress off my back if I knew he has someone to talk to."

Nagisa glanced at Tetsuya. The man smiled and looked at Seijuro then. "We will come."

"Thank you", Seijuro nodded to Nagisa. Nagisa smiled back. "Karma is family. Of course I'd do something like that for him."

"I'm really growing onto this kid", Daiki grinned. "Okay, let's really party now!"

After the party, when everyone left back to their own homes, Nagisa was sure he had never laughed as much as that night.

Sorry that this chapter is on the short side. I hope you enjoyed it anyways!
