A Lost Nagisa Chapter 14 Hanging with Karma
Karma decided to get pizza sense it was now becoming lunch. We sat down in a food court in the zoo, "So have you thought of anything to help assassinate Koro-Sensei" Karma asked setting down the pizza that was on a tray. I shook my head, "Not really.." Karma bit his lip, "Darn..." he glanced over to me sitting down in the seat across from me. "How have you been handling the um...whole mom thing.." He didn't call her witch? I guess he was trying to be kind, I could still see the purble skin where my mother had hit him.
"Um...honestly I have mixed feeling about it..." I admitted, he raised an eye brow.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean...I get to do what I want..I can dress the way I want, come back from school and relax with out being shoved into a dress or something..." I paused looking at Karma who seemed annoyed although I didn't know what he was annoyed about. I continued, "But I kind of feel bad for her..." I also admitted. Karma sighed rolling his eyes.
"Your to nice Nagisa, that kindness might get you hurt one day." I shrugged, "I rather be nice to people then beat them up..." Karma smiled as he knew I was referring to him. His smile melted away and the annoyed look returned...
"Karma, are you okay?" I asked.
"Huh...yea..I'm just thinking.." I raised an eyebrow. "About what?" He leaned his chin on his hand the other arm on the table. "It's just..." he began. "Why are you staying with Nakamura?" I was surprised to hear how annoyed he sounded. "Um...I...can't really explain it." I couldn't just come out and say: Hey Karma I can't stay at your place because I'm actually a girl and that would be weird if I stayed at your place sense your a dude! Plus where not even dating or anything, heck where not even together! But I couldn't tell him that, no...honestly I don't know if I'll ever be able to tell Karma the truth.
Karma seemed more annoyed by my response. "What do you mean? What is it a secret or something?" Oh no...this conversation was getting into dangerous waters...I should try and change the conversation. "Um, ya know I heard Koro-Sensei was afraid of...um tigers..." Karma stood up slamming his hands on the table a few people looked over but he ignored them.
"Dammit Nagisa! Why are you avoiding my questions? What are you hiding!" There was no getting out of this Karma was to focused getting his answers. I sighed, I couldn't tell him..not yet...I wasn't ready...I couldn't. "I can't tell you okay!" Karma sighed he seemed more annoyed now..
"Fine..." he grumbled. "I'll just go home then.." What..no! Karma couldn't leave...we haven't even seen that white tiger yet! I gripped the sleeve on his black jacket quickly, his head quickly turned to me he looked surprised. "I-I'm sorry...please don't leave Karma!" He just stared at me his cheeks seeming to grow a light pink, "I'm sorry I can't tell you...at least," I paused taking a deep breath. "A-at least...not right now..." His expression seemed to soften.
Karma sighed turning around to me again. "Is this really that important to you that you can't tell me?" He looked serious but his expression was still softer then it was before. I nodded quietly, he sighed again. "Fine...then...tell me when your ready..." I breathed a sigh of relief...thank god...
...Karma and I ate our lunch in silence not saying anything to each other until we began to walk around the zoo.
...As I walked next to him watching him look at all the animals I began to wonder how his date with Okuda went...should I even call it that...just thinking about it made me sad...I wanted to ask him,
"How was your date with Okuda.." I stopped in my tracks my heart sank, Karma was staring at me and my hands where covering my mouth. Oh my god...I didn't just say that did I? I blurted that out! Oh my god...what was he going to say was he going to hate me?!
"Um...I don't know if I'd call it a date..." I looked up to Karma hearing his response threw me off, he didn't consider it a date? Didn't she ask him out..."We didn't get to hang out anyway...she wasn't feeling good." I stood there for a momment not knowing what to say. I heard Karma laugh shortly,
"Are you okay?" He asked, why was he asking that? "I'm fine...why do you ask?" He smiled,
"Well, your face is kind red..." He pointed out, I felt the heat on my face now oh no my face was red...I was blushing again! He was laughing again,
"Nagisa your to cute~"
"W-what! N-no I'm not!" Why was he saying those things, ...oh wait he was just teasing me like he always does.
"Yes you are, haha...anyway let's keep going I wanna get a pic of this tiger before we leave." And he changed the subject...although I liked Karma calling me cute he's done it before. He's done it just to tease me, to get a reaction out of me.
...Turns out Karma didn't know where this white tiger was. We ended up walking around the entire zoo for about two hours until we found it, I was about to fall over from how badly my legs hurt but Karma was perfectly fine. The tiger was in a large cage, it kinda made me sad to see it like this...Karma was taking photo's of the beast with his phone.
"Wonder if I can take him..." Karma mummbled, I rolled my eyes...yes Karma you can take a wild animal with sharp teeth and claws that could rip you apart.
"I'm sure Koro-Sensei could..." Karma nodded.
"Why would I fight such a beautiful creature~" are heads snapped over to the poorly disguised Koro-Sensei.
"Um...what are you doing here sir?"
"To see all these amazing creatures of course." He suddenly had a camera and was taking photo's of the animal as if he where the paparazzi. "Well, I think I'm done here." Karma announced, I didn't want this to end, I wanted to keep hanging out with him. Maybe I could get him to stay longer?
"Hey I-uh heard there's a new um...monkey here...uh.." I saw Karma rolling his eyes.
"Your a horrible lair Nagisa. Do you just wanna hang at my place for a bit?" Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes yes yes yes yes yes!
"Um..sure." I tried to play it cool. Karma shrugged starting to walk away,
"See ya later teach." Karma said waving before turning away I followed beside him...

...It's been awhile sense I've been to Karma's apartment. We where standing outside while Karma was unlocking his wooden door, he didn't live in the nicest neighborhood, I remember I came over one evening to drop off something to him and there was a bunch of thugs hanging in an ally way. Karma ended up walking me home out of fear that they might get hanzy with me. Although during the day it wasn't that bad.
"Come in," Karma opened the door stepping aside. I walked into his familiar apartment, his entire apartment floor was red carpet besides the kitchen and bathroom witch was just white tiles. It gave the place a sort of warm feeling that my apartment didn't have. Karma closed the door locking it of course before he set his keys down on his coffee table.
"Your place is neat as usual." I commented. Karma shrugged,
"I'm the only one who lives here, and I don't exactly like the idea of living in a trash dump." Karma was in fact pretty strict about keeping his place clean.
"So do you wanna play some video games?" Karma said walking over to his tv that was infront of his coffee table. I followed him stopping, my eyes where caught by something shiny on the coffee table, no not his keys. I picked the object up,
"Karma...are these glasses?" They looked like Okuda's but they were black. Karma quickly turned around, "Um...those are my reading glasses..." Karma wore glasses? Sense when... "How come you never wear them in class?" I asked, he shrugged, "I donno..." Karma didn't admit it but I figured he didn't want other people seeing him wear these.
I smiled, "Why don't you put them on? I wanna see how you look."
"W-what..no.." Karma quickly rejected. I frowned, "But I bet you look cute-" I stopped my self biting my tounge. Karma looked at me wided-eyed his cheeks where growing red and so where mine. "Uh-um..." Karma was at a loss for words,
"S-sorry, I didn't mean to..." He took the glasses from my hand suddenly putting them on. He said nothing only looking at me, wow, Karma actually looked like a professor or something, those glasses actual brought out his intelligent look. Karma's face was getting more red,
"They look stupid..." he mummbled. I smiled slowly, "I-I think they look good on you.." Karma shrugged taking the glasses off and placing them back on the table.
"Let's just play some video games,"
