Sorry againt for the late update, I'm lazy... But everyone's lazy every now and then right? Anyway enjoy the holidays guys and Happy New Years in advance.

Kimiko's POV

I hear the door close as Hiro leaves the room, I close my eyes slowly and drift into sleep.

" Kimiko..."

"..."

" This won't hurt a bit Kimiko-san" I hear a strange voice call out to me. I try to open my eyes but it I can't. It's as if someone glued my eyes shut.

I try to move my arms but it's no use, they're restrained by some sort of handcuff, I try to move my legs but they're also restrained.

" Don't move Kimiko-san, It'll all be over soon"

I suddenly feel something poke into my chest, a sort of needle. I pull madly at my restraints but no matter how hard I try I can't move. I open my mouth to scream but no sound comes out.

" Just a little longer Kimiko-san" I hear the voice again.

" N-no!" I finally start to hear my voice but it's so quiet.

" Use some more anaesthetic and some..." The words start to fade as I start to get sleepier and drift off into a deeper sleep.

"..."

I sit up in bed, breathing heavily. It's dark. I look around the room. It's Hiro's. That's right, I went to Hiro's house after school and I felt a little sick so I sleep a little. How late is it? I look to my side, there's a tray with some porridge and some bread. Right next to it is an alarm clock. 2:45 am... I hear a faint rustling to my left, I guess Hiro decided to sleep in his bed even though I was there. It is a king sized bed so I guess it wouldn't matter much.

"..." I get out of bed and head to the balcony.

I feel the cool breeze on my face as I look out onto the fields. It's peaceful. Something that I haven't been in a long time. No matter how hard I try to forget, something always reminds me.

I slip back into bed after eating a bit of the porridge and bread. I look at Hiro's sleeping face. Do I love him? I know I like him but I'm not sure if I actually love him...

I pull the covers over my face. What about Karma? Wait, why am I thinking about him? I don't even like him! All we have is a bet! I didn't even blush or feel flustered whenever he got close to me. Why am I thinking about him? Why?...

" Kimiko-san... Your operation is over, wake up" I hear the voice again,

I open my eyes, this time it's easier. I move my arms and legs, no pain or anything. I slowly sit up. I'm in a white room, almost like a hospital one, but it's not. There are no medical files or nurses. Just a simple operation table in the middle of the room with a few operating tools. My head hurts, why did I even get an operation? What kind of operation was it? I can't remember anything... I hate not knowing crucial things like this, or even just small stuff in general...

" How do you feel Kimiko-San?" Says a middle aged man with black wavy hair.

" What did you do to me?" I say, looking him in the eye but as soon as I do that, my eyes start to sting.

" Just a slight operation" he says in a sing-songy voice.

" I didn't agree to this!" I start shouting

" I know you must feel angry or confused but just relax for a bit, it's not good for your health" he says

" I don't care just answer me!"

" You offered to take part in a few experiments, well, actually your parents did"

" How could I agree to this!? My parents... How could they?"

" Don't worry we did nothing to harm you, we only did tested operations that have been proven successful"

" Just tell me what you've done"

" We modified..."

" Kimiko...Kimiko!" I open my eyes slowly

"..." I look up to see Hiro beside me

" Kimiko are you okay? You where tossing in your sleep.

" Sorry, it was just some nightmare, that's all"

" Do you want to talk about it?" He says, looking worried

" No, I'm fine, I just need to get ready for school" I say, getting out of bed

" Ok, don't overwork yourself" he says, as he gets up to get his clothes

I change into my school uniform and think about my dream, why am I suddenly remembering this now? I've dealt with living with it but why have a dream about it?

I finish my morning routine and get into the car with Hiro.

" Are you sure you're ok with me taking you to school? Normally you don't want me to" Hiro says

" I'm fine with it, I'm just a little tired today, that's all"

We continue chatting about this and that, memories of when we we her younger and other stuff.

" Ms Himura, we are now arriving at Kunugigaoka junior high school"

" Thank you Claude, I can open the door myself"

Hiro gives me a quick kiss before letting me out of the car and I head up to the Class E building, ignoring the stares of everyone.

" OI! Himeko-chan!" I hear Karma call out to me as I'm halfway up the hill

I ignore him and keep walking. I don't want to talk to him! I'm confused about him, Hiro and everything that's going on! That nightmare really had a big impact on me. Why? Anyway I didn't need Karma's jokes to weigh me down today too.

" Kimiko!" He tries to get my attention by calling my name this time. I still don't turn around.

He calls my name a few more times but I ignore him. I open the door to the classroom and go immediately to my desk and pull out my book and start studying, even if I don't need to.

" Kimiko!" Karma says, he slams his hand on my desk and looks at me with his piercing gold eyes

" What?" I say, not looking up, turning the late of my book

" Why have you been ignoring me?" He says

" Doesn't concern you" I say

" It does! I'm worried about you!" He says a little louder

" Just leave me alone for now! And the bet is off, I'll do whatever you want for a few days, just to make up for it" I say. I don't need anymore things involving Karma to confuse me, I haven't been confused about anything since I was younger.

" No! The reason I agreed to this bet was to make you blush! It's no fun if I don't succeed!" He says

" Too bad, I'm calling it off"

" I never thought you where one to back out Kimiko"

" I'm not in the mood for your tricks today Karma"

" Fine, but if you want to talk about it just come to me" he says, then he leave to go talk to Nagisa and Kayano

I continue reading my book but I can't focus on it. Why did my heart beat faster when he was closer? It never happened before! I knew that's what happens when people like each other but I've never though of Karma that way! Why now suddenly? And why especially when Hiro starts taking more of my time? Why now? Just why?

Nagisa's POV

Kimiko seemed a bit tired when she came in this morning. I wonder if she's ok.

" OI Nagisa! Kayano! Mind if I interrupt your classroom date? I hear Karma shout from the back of the class.

" I-it's not a date!" I say immediately, blushing immensely

" y-yeah! We were just talking Karma! It's nothing like that!" Kayano says.

" Yeah right, everyone knows you where meant for each other!" Karma says

I suddenly feel my cheeks heat up and I see Kayano blush too. We start talking about stuff but suddenly I hear Kimiko slam her book on her desk.

"..."

We all stare at her, even Korosensei. She walks up to him and talks quickly, then she leaves.

" What did she say?" Maehara calls out to Korosensei

" She's simply not feeling well, she's going to relax in the teacher lounge in the building"

Okokokok I know I'm really starting to post these chapters really late and I'm really sorry! I'm really lazy and I know that... I'll try doing it earlier but I'm going to take a trip soon and I'm not sure if I'll have wifi so I might not post for a while, if I do then I'll continue! That's for reading and understanding!
