I wander around the island first since I don't have anything to do after I check my weapon and checking on the strategy so here I am shifting through the sandy beach.

Thinking again, something that I do whether I am idle or busy. Should I just give Karma my answer? Or just tease him for a little bit?

"Michiko, what are you doing here?"

I look up and meet with Professor Irina's blue eyes. "I heard that you rejected that boy." she took a seat on a beach chair next to me as we both stare at the ocean.

"How did you know?" she didn't say much as the answer, only saying that Maehara was talking about it with Yuma when they passed by the faculty room but Maehara was a bit too loud for his own sake.

I sighed and lean my back, my eyes staring at the ocean; sleep becoming something that is slowly creeping up to me. "Professor Irina, do you think this plan will succeed?"

Her answer is fast, "Of course not 100% because a plan this complicated will go astray sooner or later. But do your best..."

I smiled and glanced at her, how cute~! She's blushing and looking to the side, avoiding my gaze as I giggle at her cute personality.

"Well, look at who is lounging around~"

And a certain redhead just blocked the beautiful scenery. "Go away, you're blocking my view!"I sit up straight and I can feel Professor Irina's presence leaving us.

"You can put it in a nicer way~!"

Huffing and trying to avoid looking at the boy, I asked him about what kind of comment are better and nicer. I crossed my hands in front of my chest and my legs crossed too, head looking to the side; avoiding Karma's mercury-golden orbs.

"Your scenery was beautiful, but now it's more handsome~"

Red hue coloring my cheeks as soon as I snap my head to see the redhead in front of me. He hasn't changed and still wet from head to toe while wearing his swimwear.

Karma's red hair is sticking to his skin and eyes gleaming equally like his body that is shining a bit because the sun shining to the droplets of water on his pale white body. And why must that smirk goes well with his face?

"Change into your clothes first!"

It seems that he is having fun as he dodge my kicks, laughing by himself while I'm just irritated that he ruined my relaxing time watching the sea.

—X—X—X—X—-

*You guys know the ordeal so I'm gonna skip it all*

I felt my stomach churning with pain and I clutched it with a pained expression, my head is also turning around like it's being blended with the water inside my head. My eyes starts to become hazy as one of them start to hurt.

Migraine and gastric at the same time? I'm sure that I ate breakfast, lunch and dinner.

"Michiko?" Karma hold my shoulder while I put a hand on my head while the other is pressing my stomach to at least lessen the pain. "Nakamura-san!"

I hear Nagisa exclaimed before I fall unconscious.

Sometime I would wake up again to see either Okuda or Takebayashi changing the wet towel on my forehead and when I wake up sometime I would feel like vomiting but I close my eyes again so that I will fall asleep again.

The next time I woke up is when I was already on a soft bed with a blanket on me, I see a pair of worried mercury orbs in this dark room that only the moon illuminate.

"Are you okay now?"

I can trace his face with my eyes even though it is a bit overshadowed since he is looking at me while the light of the moon comes from behind. "Karma-kun... where am I?"

He sighed and put a hand on my forehead. "You're answering a question with a question." there's a pause before he actually answer me. "Your hotel room. Now, my answer?"

"I'm fine only... feeling weak."

I see him smile and leaned down to kiss my forehead. "Sleep tight, you have to recover soon."

Also, I'm late to react but... "K-Karma-kun?!" instead of going away, he hugged me closer and nuzzling into my hair. "You smell nice, vanilla and strawberry. Now, sleep."

"Why are you here?!"

I can't see his face anymore, Karma made me bury my face into his chest. "You were whimpering about how cold it is." our feet is tangled together, his hand one on my waist and the other one under my head.

There's not much that I can do about him when I'm this weak, sighing in defeat, I try to be feel more comfortable by moving a bit and Karma cooperated so that I will have a nice sleep.

—X—X—X—

I'm a bit weaker than the rest about immune system so now I'm still resting on my bed but it's nice how Ritsu would talk to me whenever I feel lonely being alone in the room.

"Michiko-chan, you seem to be upset."

Ritsu accurately point out but I just force out a smile. "I'm just feeling lonely. I've always envy people who rarely gets sick." back then, I shouldn't have followed Yui-nee to walk around the whole neighborhood.

"Ahaha, they'll come back soon so you don't need to worry~!" I do hope so. "By the way, what is your relationship with Karma-kun~?" I drop the smile and look at Ritsu with a blush. "You're blushing~"

I try to shut off my phone but Ritsu keep on coming back up. "You know, I think you know Karma-kun better than anyone." I don't even know about that.

"Well, I guess I know it by instinct and by reading through him. Like, how when he's mad; he'll be very quiet until he explode or if he is acting very nice; that means he's planning something." Ritsu gave me a clap that I think was not necessary.

"Nagisa-kun might be good in observing the outer parts but it seems that you are great in reading the inner parts. Korosensei~?"

I think about it first with a thoughtful hum. "I guess... there's this feeling that gave me the feeling that Korosensei is not exactly what he seems to be."

"An octopus?"

"No... I think he formerly didn't act that comical and at first he is not that kind of guy... not even a teacher but rather... an assassin?" that was only my theory because he knows so much about assassination even more than Karasuma-sensei so...

"That's an interesting theory, Nagisa-kun said that I must believe your instinct because he said it is as good as an animal." does that mean that I am on par with an animal. Well, I do admit that my hearing and smelling sense are pretty sharp but...

I don't even know.

"Oh! An incoming call from Nakamura-san!"

"Accept."

Rio had finished and still waiting for the others to walk out, she talked to me about what happened during my absence and asked me if Korosensei's so called ghost stories are an actual thing but I just point out the parts that are right or wrong or just extremely wrong.

Though, I do not get why she has to tell me that Okuda is paired up with Karma. "Hmm...?" I look down to see the new text message that I received.

[Grandpa got admitted to a hospital for tuberculosis.]

This is Yui-nee...

[I'm not joking, how can I joke about such a serious thing? I just wanted to tell you that we can handle this so don't spoil your own fun.]

I sighed, this should be expected if Grandpa is an eighty-years old man who is still smoking...

-X-X-X-X-

Blinking her eyes a few times, Michiko finally realize that she was asleep and Ritsu has kindly put her phone notification to vibrate because there are many notifications and she also notice the knocking on the door to her room.

"I can't take this anymore! What if she's already dead?!"

"Kayano-chan please tone it down..."

"Michiko, I'm going to break this door if you don't open it~"

Kayano, Nagisa and Karma... I stood up and open the door, Kayano hugged me without further ado and Nagisa just sighed in relieve, Karma already ready to kick the door but lower down his leg that wanted to kick.

"Oh, Michiko-chan."

Kayano skip into my room and plop on the bed, Nagisa following and sit on the carpeted florr along with Karma. "Are you okay now, Chi-chan?"

The redhead beside Nagisa seems to want to tease him, Karma poke Nagisa's cheek and tease him about how he calls me. Michiko don't really care about it but rather happy that he is calling her with that name again.

"It's okay. What made you call me that again?" Michiko just needs to know, Nagisa only mumble a name that sounds familiar to me. Yui-nee? To be expected from Yui-nee.

Michiko didn't notice the girl beside her pulling out something from the small bag she had with her. "Michiko-chan, we thought that you would feel lonely so we came back before the others. Wanna play~?"

Monopoly...

This will end up bad...

Like Michiko thought, it ended up bad.

"Why do you have so much branches, Michiko-chan?!"

Michiko has always been good in the game since she really do know how to organize and use money wisely so she ended up being the one who is the richest in this endless game.

To spice up the game, we decided to give a punishment when the one round is over to whoever become the one who is the poorest. Michiko chuckled when she took more money from Karma and when the round is over, giggling at the boy; she already know what she will say.

"Let's put more style to Karma's hair~! Twintails."

Karma try to keep calm as he try to stay put and let the other two tie up his hair, Michiko already has her phone on standby for the beautiful blackmail material. The redhead actually look cute with twintail, he tries to not blush but fail to do so.

Kayano is giggling while Nagisa is chuckling looking at the boy who probably has lost his pride. With the sound of a click and the flash, Karma finally realize that I took a photo of him. "Erase that!"

"Nope~!"

We continued on with our game probably karma has fallen upon the girl...

"Ahaha, look at this~! You're bankcrupted!"

"Karma is a bitch."

Karma continued on to laugh while fanning himself with the money he has and took from Michiko from the hotels and houses he had put everywhere. "Now, now, it's no time for puns. Let's see you in twintails."

For the usual mature looking Michiko, childish things is embarassing for her when it is shown to more than one person. Kayano tied up her hair while humming to a tune, she tied it up very nicely and neat unlike when Michiko herself try to do it.

Now, the roles are flipped. Michiko is the one blushing while Karma is the one who is smirking and taking pictures of the red cat.

The black hair she has is now tied, her face can be seen clearer than ever and her pale white skin is clearer probably because her hair is black. The clothes she is wearing isn't fit for that look which made it somehow interesting but also funny.

They were having so much fun that they didn't notice Korosensei checking on them and he scolded them for being up so late. But Michiko was sleeping and taking naps while waiting for the others so it is hard to go back to sleep and rest until morning come.

Michiko woke up again at four in the morning, she have some time so she play with her phone until it's almost time for the sun to come up and she is in a seaside resort, won't watching the sun coming out of the horizon be good and awesome?

She wear a jacket around her and walk out of her room, trying to be as quiet as she can when she walk through the hallway.

"Where are you going?"

Michiko was looking down so much and tried to not look at passerby that she didn't see who she bumped into, Karma looking at her with his mercury-gold eyes. Yes, she did see him but not his eyes and hair that makes him so easy to find even in a crowd.

"I wanted to walk outside, a stroll around the beach in front of the resort."

His hand... he took hold of Michiko's hand and turn around to go to the same way she was about to walk. They exit the resort and walk to the beach, nearing the water that look like as if they are coming after them.

Karma took off his shoes and point at Michiko's flats. "Take it off." Michiko obeyed and Karma pull her to hurry up to go further to the front where the water are deep enough to wet their feet. Michiko was busy watching and waiting for the sun that she didn't realize...

She glares at the boy who is splashing water at her. "Karma-kun, stop!"

"Make me~!"

She surely will, Michiko collect up water in her hands and scoop up the water in one go to throw it at Karma who backed away a few steps but not enough to dodge all of them. He roll up his trousers and kick the water to Michiko.

The girl is not yet ready to give up so she also try to kick around and scoop more water whenever she feels like it.

She is so focused in not getting wet herself but you know what, Michiko is probably the most careless and clumsy also scatterbrain in the whole class. Contrasting to her high IQ, she is extremely forgetful of other things.

"Hey, it's the sun."

Michiko is too hyper to even care... her feet tangled around, not in a gory way but just stepping on each other that it made Karma laugh once he catch her. "How can you fall when there's nothing in front of you except for water?"

He stroke her hair, Karma is sitting on the sand and water around him because he fell when he tried to catch Michiko but the girl was moving too much that he too fell to the ground with a splash. Michiko is on top of him, hands on his chest while she blush from the closeness between them.

"A-ahaha... the sun is rising!" she tried to find a subject to focus on but Karma found another thing more interesting, or rather a girl who is more interesting to him. "Yeah, you're beautiful."

A hand found its way behind Michiko's head and pull her down closer to him who kisses her on her forehead. "Cute little bunny wants to play with the cat~?"

"You shameless idiot!"

.

.

.

.

.

"Karma-kun, why is your cheek red?"

"Ahaha, I played too hard with the bunny."

Nagisa sighed and laugh. Somehow he might actually ship these two together but without a rival, it won't be fun, will it?

********PREVIEW***********

"The Labrador dog finally meet the cat who tries to eat up the bunny."

Should I introduce myself~?

The so called Labrador dog, a boy smart enough to almost beat Asano Gakushu in the nationals and also... I want to cage up the bunny in my hands.

A cat won't stop me from getting her.

Except for that protective cat, Matilda.

"An all black and brown Labrador dog with green eyes. Yup, Nagisa don't even try to help that cat."

"Akane-chan..."
