Chapter 2

Dinner

Karma, Nagisa, Sugino and Kaede ate their lunches beside a big tree near their classroom. Karma is the one leaning against the tree with Nagisa on his right and Sugino on his left. Kaede was in front of Karma. They were still talking about the exams.

"You are a monster Karma-kun! It's already hard to perfect one subject you managed to perfect all! Are you sure you're still a human being?" Kaede teased as she took a bite from her burger. They just laughed at her statement.

"I was actually thinking of the same thing. How come he aces all the exams if all he does is come late, sleep and ditch class!" Nagisa commented while finishing her food. Her mom prepared a bento for her. She doesn't know why, but her mom is acting strange these fast few days. She treats her nicely and reduced her chores. Not to mention that physical abuse to her is all gone. Nagisa never dared to ask why because she's afraid that her mom would go back to her demonic self.

"That hurts shorty! You actually think that your best friend is an alien?" Karma acted that he was hurt.

"Maybe." She simply replied and placed her lunchbox down. A smirked appeared on Karma's face. Before Nagisa could notice, Karma pulled her waist and started tickling her. She tried to remove his arm but of course she can't due to their strength difference. The others just laughed as they stared at the two. After a few minutes Karma finally released Nagisa who was now catching her breath.

"Nagisa-chan I don't get it why you became friends with a sadist like Karma. There are a lot of other people who are dying to be friends with you." Sugino said. Nagisa was still catching her breath. Karma opened her water bottle and handed it to her. After drinking it up she finally answered.

"It's a long story. We've been friends since 1st year and I accept him for who he is. No other explanations needed. Right Karma?" She turned to her best friends and smiled. Her smiles are really beautiful. Karma couldn't help but just gaze at the blue haired beauty. Everything about her for him is just perfect. He secretly loves his best friend throughout these years. But he never admitted it because she might think that he is taking advantage of her kindness. And besides, being her best friend is great! He can keep an eye on her without everybody thinking other things about their relationship. Plus he can threaten anyone who tries to date Nagisa.

"Karma!"

"Karma!" He snapped out from his thoughts and noticed that they are all staring at him.

"Sleeping with your eyes open. I wouldn't count that as a doing of a normal human being." Nagisa teased and the three laughed leaving Karma speachless. Suddenly Nagisa's phone rang. She quickly excused herself and moved away.

"You still haven't confesed to her, have you?" Kaede asked. Karma felt his face was warming up and he looked away.

"I don't know what you are talking about." He defended himself. Kaede's smirk widened.

"Oh don't fool us! We all know that you are in love with Nagisa-chan. It's okay! Who wouldn't like her? She's beautiful, charming and very talented. We can help you if you want." She offered still with her smirk. But that smirk vanished when Karma turned to her with his famous devil-like smirk.

"Do you really want to mess with me?" He asked her in a scary tone. She quickly raised both of her hands as a sign of defeat.

"I was just kidding!" Her voice was trembling. Karma is now releasing his black aura to frighten Kaede even more.

"Enough of that, how about we go out after class and celebrate that Karma ranked 1st!" Sugino suggested. Kaede secretly thanked him for diverting Karma's attention.

"That's a great idea! Let's tell it to Nagisa when she comes back." Karma agreed. Kaede wants to tease him once more but quickly erased the idea. Messing up with the red-haired boy is the last thing she will ever do.

Few minutes later, Nagisa returned and sat beside Karma. He pulled her closer to his body and leaned his head on top of her shoulder.

"Nagisa-chan! While you were talking over that phone we planned to celebrate Karma's victory over Class A. Are you available after class?" Sugino said. They were expecting her to agree but she refused.

"Sorry guys but it was my mother who called me. She wanted me to go home right after class because we will have a family dinner." She explained. Karma raised an eyebrow.

"Family dinner? Your parents are back together?" He asked. Of course he knows her family background because he is her best friend. He even knows that her mother is abusing her.

"No it's a different thing. We are are actuallly meeting my mother's parents that is why she is very excited. I'm excited too. It's my first time to meet them. I'm a bit nervous as well." She took a deep breath.

Based on her stories, Nagisa's mother was disowned by her wealthy parents because she have chosen to be with Nagisa's father who was an average person. Nagisa's grandparents wanted a rich man for their daughter but she disobeyed them. Because of that, they stripped everything from her and let her live with Nagisa's father. That is the reason why she became mentally unstable. She couldn't bear to live a life without luxury and later on she started to physically abuse her own daughter. Karma hated her mom ever since he knew that story. But why are they meeting up with them so suddenly? Are they planning something or they just want to meet their granddaughter?

"Oh I see, so it's just the three of us?" Kaede asked. Karma wrapped his arms around Nagisa while playing with her hair.

"Nah, I'm not going. I'm walking Nagisa home." He announced. The two did not respond because they were expecting it. All of the student's in Class E knows that Karma loves Nagisa. But of course Nagisa herself is the only exception. She's the female version of Karasuma-sensei: Da Densest.

Nagisa lifted her head and looked at Karma with worried eyes.

"It's okay, you don't have to walk me home. Just go and celebrate, you deserve it." She pleaded. Karma tightened his hug and sniffed her hair.

"Nope, we can celebrate it tomorrow with the whole class so why bother. And besides, I want my best friend to be here beside me in every achievement." He smiled at her as she hugs him back.

"This is such an adorable sight. But I am not happy because you four are 10 minutes late!" Someone spoke. They looked up and saw Koro-sensei hanging on the branches of the tree. The teenagers quickly stood up and ran inside the classroom.

~time skip~

Karma walked Nagisa home as promised. They are now in front of Nagisa's gate.

"Thanks for today Karma. Good bye and see you tomorrow! She waived and entered their house. Karma waived back and started walking towards his own house.

"Yeah see you in my dreams." He chuckled and continued walking.


At Kunugigaoka Junior High School Main Campus

Gakushu Asano was asked by the chairman to meet him at his office. A lot of things are running in the boy's mind.

"Maybe he'll give me an hour of sermon for not being rank 1 this midterm."

"Maybe he'll insult me that I will never the superior to him."

"Maybe he'll embarass me in front of my classmates."

And he was imagining a lot more. Finally he reached the chairman's office. He took a deep breath before knocking.

"It's me chairman, Asano." He said and opened the door. The chairman, Gakuho Asano was standing beside the big window. He looked like a king gazing upon his kingdom. He turned to face his son and instructed him to sit. The boy obeyed.

"How are you my boy?" He started. Asano clenched his fist.

"You know that I am not okay so don't even bother asking me. Just go straight to the point and tell me what you want." He demanded. He knows his father. Ever since he was born he never felt that he was his father. They rarely talk and if they do, he'll probably teach him something. The chairman never asked him if he's alright or is he feeling well that is why he felt annoyed of his father's question.

Gakuho chuckled and smiled at his son. This not the typical friendly smile that you see from a person. His smile is rather creepy and intimidating.

"I know that you are still upset because of the exam's result but that is not the reason why I want to talk to you." Asano was surprised. he already made up his lines if his father insults or say something about the test. This caught him off guard.

"I asked you to come here because later I want you to come with me. We will have dinner with my future investors." He continued. Asano is now really confused. This is the first time that he will attend a dinner with his father's investors. Usually he attend blind dates with rich girl so that they will enroll at their school.

"Why do you want me to come? You can make those investors agree to your demands without breaking a sweat." He demanded explanations.

"You're coming with me not because I want you to come but it is what the investors wishes. I worked hard just to have an opportunity to have business with them so I expect you to be in your best behavior." And finally he dismissed him. Asano wants to know the reason why he is invited to that dinner and he is about find that out.


Author's note: how I wish I have a best friend like Karma-kun! Is it really normal to fall in love with an anime character? Oh well don't mind me :P
