Hey guys, so when I finished chapter 24 last night I realized that I kinda messed up when I had Karma tell Nagisa to go to sleep...cause ya know..when you have a bump like that on your head you aren't supposed to go to sleep, your suppose to put ice on it. But who cares its fan FICTION so I guess it doesn't matter... (but seriously, don't sleep if you got a bump like that on your head..) Okay, enjoy the chapter guys!

A Lost Nagisa Chapter 25 Karma's Realization

Nagisa...you promised me...you BROKE your promise...now mommy has to punish out! Mommy's going to make sure her little girl NEVER leaves her again. Even if I have to hurt some people to do it...mommy will protect her little girl.

I'm coming for you, Nagisa!

"Ah!" My eyes shot open, another nightmare...It's okay...It's okay...I'm...still in Karma's living room. I sat up running my fingers through my bangs. My hands were sweaty and numb, my heart was pounding against my chest.

Was I really that scared? Wait...

Even if I have to hurt some people to do it.

Karma..

"Karma!" The red head bolted into the room from his bedroom.
"What's wrong?!" I sighed, thank god..he was still here...wait what time was it..the sun was already up but Karma was still in his pajamas. Was this the real Karma?

"Are you okay? You look pale.." Karma walked over putting his hand to my forehead. "You feel a little warm.." That's because your hand is touching my face! He stood up and fetched what looked like a thermometer he walked over and sat down at the edge of the couch.

"Here put this under your tongue." (I don't know how they measure temperature in japan...sorry...) I did as he told me, after a moment the device beeped. He removed it from my mouth and looked at the number, he didn't look too happy.

"You have a small fever. You're saying here today." I really had a fever? How? Was it because of the cold weather...or the fact that I took a nap in a cold warehouse?

"W-wait what time is it?"

"10 am." What! The first period was already over!

"B-but school and-Koro-Sensei-and-"

"I told him you're staying home."

"W-what about you?" Karma stood up putting the thermometer on the coffee table which seemed further away from me, or was I just seeing things?

"Well someone how to take care of you. You still have that bump on your head and now you have a fever. Besides," He paused "No way in hell am I leaving you alone, not after what happened yesterday."

Karma seemed to protective of me...or..or was he just being caring of a friend? My hand drifted to my forehead feeling the surface of it. I slowly began to remember the soft gentle feeling of Karma's lips.

Oh god, my face was turning red again! "Are you too warm? Your face is red."
"N-no I'm..I'm fine." Karma stared at me for a moment before a slow smiled appeared on his lips. "Okay. I'll be right back, stay there." I nodded.

He walked into the kitchen which was pretty much a small part of his living room, it wasn't really a separate room just a small area in this room. I looked around and noticed something besides the sofa.

I looked down, on the floor next to the sofa was a blanket and a pillow. Wait...was...

"Alright here lay back so I can put this on your forehead." I looked at Karma he was holding a wet rag which I assumed was cold. I lied back and he placed the cold rag across my forehead.

"Karma.."

"Hmm?" My eyes glanced over to the floor.

"D-did...you sleep on the floor last night?"

"Yea." I was pretty surprised to hear him say that.

"Why? Y-you-why didn't you sleep in your bed?" The smile was back on his lips, "I had to make sure you were okay." I looked at Karma's eyes, he looked tired...was he staying up last night just to watch me? To make sure I was okay...my face grew red again.

Karma looked at me raising an eyebrow. "You okay?" No, I was not okay! The fact that you are being so caring right now is both confusing and sweet but it's also making me blush for some reason!

"Ye-yea..I'm fine.." Oh great, now I was stuttering! Karma's smile seemed to grow. He stood up walking over to his TV. "Well, since you're on bed rest today-or should I say couch rest?" I rolled my eyes at him in which he rounded with a short laugh.

"I have a few movies we can watch, or would you rather watch TV. I'm not sure if there's anything good on."

"Uh-um...the TV is fine.." Karma was looking at me again, he shrugged. "Alright, oh," he bolted to the kitchen before returning with a small container and chopsticks. I looked at him confused he sat down beside me.

"Here," He handed me the container. I opened it, there was Sushi in it, did Karma make this? I looked at him again confused. "Eat it, dummy." I looked at the sushi, I still didn't have an appetite. Karma shot me a worried look.

"Nagisa, I know you're upset but..you have to eat something." I held his gaze for a moment. "You haven't eaten anything for two days." I looked at the sushi as if it was the most unappetizing thing in the world. I'm sure it tastes good but, I just didn't feel the need to eat anything...

"Nagisa, please?" Karma was pleading!? He was begging!? Did he really care that much...

He picked up the chopsticks with a piece of Sushi in between them. "Do I really have to feed you?" My face turned the color of his hair.
"N-no! I-I can do it.." He put the chopsticks down.

"Then eat." I sighed sitting there for a moment. I nearly jumped when I felt Karma's hand on my shoulder. I looked at him a bit surprised.

"Nagisa, look..." His amber eyes drifted away for a brief moment before returning to me. "I know that something is seriously bugging you. I can't say that I know what it is but," his grip on my shoulder tightened. "I'm here for you, no matter what. Even if you don't want to tell me, I'm here for you."

Karma smiled at me after he said that, I felt different somehow now, like..lighter? Not so weighed down..."Th-thanks Karma.." I was blushing again! Crap!

"No problem.."

I froze feeling a familiar feeling on my cheek this time. Karma pulled away from me, I touched my cheek immediately he was smirking. "Now eat, okay?"

I couldn't bring my self to speak the words in my mind had been completely wiped. K-Karma just kissed my cheek! I-I-WHAT!

"I have to go get something from my room, I'll be right back." I quietly nodded still unable to speak. Karma walked to his room out of sight, I sighed my face beat red. I felt so confused but at the same time...

Happier.
