Chapter 7. Karma
Author's Note: I'm back with a brand new update! Enjoy!

Karma has been alone, all by himself for as long as he can remember. Ever since he was a baby, all he could see was the butlers' and maids' faces.
Other kids would have their parents be there for them when they walk their first steps, when they say their first words. But him, even though all of his first moments are recorded in tapes and albums, none have his parents' faces in it.
Six years old, he was declared a genius. He could already read and write more smoothly than other kids. He would always get the top score. He felt really proud of himself. He couldn't even wait for when his parents come home. He will show them all he has.
And then, they would be so proud of him. They would buy him all kind of presents and treats and reward him a trip to the amusement park. He smiled just thinking about it.
But they didn't.
"Mama! Papa! Look! I got the top score this month! And since I did such a good job in school, how about we…"
"Wait up, champ! I'm afraid we have to can't whatever that you're asking. We got a business trip next week"
"But, we can go tomorrow…"
"That won't be possible as well, hon. We're going to a party tomorrow"
He shut himself in his room and didn't come out for the next two days. All alone in his room, he cursed them. Those bastards! Their son, their ONLY son, did everything he can to make them proud and this is how they response to him? It's not like they're busy working, they're going to a party, a PARTY!"
A maid even went up to his room to beg him to go out.
"Please go out, Karma-sama. Your parents are worried!"
Karma clenched his teeth.
"Really? They're worried? Right! They're terrible parents! Get lost, maid!"
He finally came out of his room with hollow eyes. He has cry for the entire two days that he was in there. He decided that those loser parents didn't deserve all of those tears.
He still felt like he need to punch something though.
At school, all of his friends are liars. They just stuck up to him, following him everywhere, saying they're true friends. He knew that, because he has seen them talking, hearing it with his own ears.
"That Akabane guy, he always get the top score. He just get it right from his natural genius talent, how unfair is that! But my parents always say that I should follow his role model. Stupid!"
So Karma kicked him in the stomach full power. Since he was just a second grader by then, and his family was one of the biggest provider of the school, the teachers went easy and he got a free pass.
He lost all of his friends though. Not like he need them, those liars.
Seventh grade.
Time flew by fast. He grew more acceptance about his loneliness by now, but it still hurt, somehow.
It was during this time, also, that Karma met Nagisa. As he would describe the blue head back then, small, girlishly pretty, and confusing.
He was observant enough to see how disappointing the other boys were when realizing Nagisa is a dude. It was hilarious, actually.
He thought Nagisa, or Shiota, was just another normal classmate. Until he saw the blue head reading about Sonic Ninja.
They turned into best friends almost immediately. Discussing about so many things. Those were his happiest days.
But then, he notice that something's wrong.
He felt as if Nagisa could just go up and stab him, but he wouldn't be able to do anything about it. Nothing at all.
He wanted to drag that scary thing out of his best friend and get rid of it. But he couldn't. Because it's part of Nagisa. If he want to hit that scary feeling, he'd have to hit Nagisa.
Somehow, hitting Nagisa would be the last thing he want to do. It was conflicted. It was hard to comprehend. He wanted to protect Nagisa yet fight him at the same time. Frustrating.
So he gave up and just ignore Nagisa. It was the only thing he could do. He was a coward, to not tell Nagisa about it and left him there, not knowing why their friendship has grew apart. Such a coward.
Things also change in her house.
He made sure that all of the butlers and maids only come once a week to clean the house. He could cook and do the laundry by himself so they're not necessary anymore. He prefer his own food anyway.
Unlike other rich kids, he was not spoiled, and rather, very independent.
For the next half of the year, things were turning badly. His last faith in his teacher fade as well. It was funny. Funny how the really good things were following up right away by the bad things. Funny how that was the meaning of the word 'karma'.
Then, he got into Class E. He has a whole class by his side, despite his flaws. He got a teacher, who polish his flaws. And realized his love for Nagisa.
They dated. Having such good moments that Karma forgot about the bad things that might happen.
But then, someone came and took his Nagisa away from him. His love, his comfort, his everything.
Whoever did that was cruel. Crueler than his parents, his old fake friends, his stupid old teacher. Cruel, too cruel.
He knocked on the door.
