Hello, everyone! You guys probably noticed that I no longer write those super long forewords to you like answers or expressions of gratitude. Please don't think that I don't appreciate you guys anymore, I really do and really really really love you! However as I am doing my best to keep up with time, answering everything is getting hard so please bear with me!

Well, the long awaited chapter is finally here (though I'm afraid you guys won't be satisfied with this one). Have fun reading it!


Nagisa's P.O.V.

Karma-kun's phone was probably dead. I tried calling him 5 times since yesterday and not even once did it even ring.

I was worried about his health, of course, but he had Koro-sensei with him so I could more or less rest assured. But it wasn't the same with his head I guess. (He would kill me if he knew I just said there was something wrong with his head. But well, it wasn't so far from truth, was it?)

Anyway, the conversation from yesterday stuck in my head. I though about it a lot, about his words and expression, about the meaning of the word "family".

In a way, he had a point. If family was people you are bound to by blood and who should always unconditionally love you, then no. No such thing existed.

Blood has betrayed the very same blood many times before in the past, brothers killed each other, mothers took advantage of their children, fathers hired assassins to get rid of any potential danger, be it their son or a daughter.

Even in the happiest families, the "unconditional love" just wasn't possible.

However, if we assumed that family meant people who you hold dear and who hold you dear, people who you feel comfortable with and who accept you no matter what, then 'family' turns out to be anything you want it to be.

I wanted Karma-kun to know that.

However, I had a feeling this wasn't the core of his problems.

It was still quite early but I have already arrived to our classroom. I put my shoes to the regal and opened the doors to the classroom.

What I saw left me conflicted. In a way, I could describe the sight as indecent and... dirty. If Koro-sensei wasn't basically an octopus.

Karma-kun was pinned to the ground by tentacles and sensei was 'hanging' above him.

"Nagi-" I heard him gasp as if for help but immediately got stopped when sensei put something into his mouth in incredible speed.

I think if Okajima-kun saw this, he would get the wrong idea.


Twenty Minutes before: Koro-sensei's P.O.V.

It was exactly 7 o'clock and I was dealing with one of the worst dilemmas in my whole life.

To leave Karma-kun alone at home and go to school to teach or to not leave Karma-kun alone and be absent from school, making my students miss me?

Though they probably wouldn't.

Well, I decided to do both, partly. The child wasn't capable of taking care of himself so I would. At school. I mean, taking him with me and letting him sleep on sofa in the office where Irina-sensei or Karasuma-sensei would look after him wasn't a bad thing to do right? I could teach the class then. Oh what a sharp mind I have!

Carefully not to wake him up, I wrapped him (I don't understand how he did not notice. Probably the cold.) into two blankets (for sure, it was quite freezing outside). It was cute. He looked like sushi.

Then I took him into arms and flew right to our class. It took half of minute since I had to be considerate of my little student.

No one has arrived to the school yet, not even Karasuma-sensei which was strange. I took the sofa from yesterday into the teachers' office and laid the boy down. He stirred in sleep.

Now that I thought about it, when should he take another dose of the cold medicine? It was written that it should be taken in 12 hours, wasn't it? What time did I give it to him yesterday?

As I recalled the exact time, my heart almost skipped a beat. If remember it right, it was at 19:26. The time at the moment - 7:20.

Six minutes left until he would have to drink it! I quickly ran off back to his house and took it, returning in under a minute. Now the hardest part:

"Karma-kun! Wake up! It's time for medicine!" The boy didn't open his eyes so I called him again and again and again and again until he did.

Groaning, he stared at me with murderous eyes but I had something much more important to do now. Four minutes nineteen seconds left.

"Karma-kun! Hurry up and drink this!" my panicked state didn't faze him even a little bit. I was holding a spoon with a brown cure and urging him to open his mouth.

However, as the redhead noticed what that was, he frowned, dead serious: "I'm not drinking that."

I knew he wouldn't do it willingly.

"You have to! We have only three minutes and fourty eight seconds left!" I tried forcing it to him but the boy stubbornly covered his lips and shook real hard. Even though it seriously hurt his head (I saw the way he was shutting his eyes with every movement).

"No freaking way! It tastes like a poop!" He protested. "I'm not gonna even touch it!"

He sound like a child. So unlike him. It might have been that the fever has destroyed some of his brain cells or he wasn't thinking rationally (maybe his vulnerable side started showing up?).

Either way, there were two mintues and thirty one seconds until would have to take the medicine. I was getting frustrated and super panicked. There was no other option than to use force. The boy was still weak so there was no need to put much strenght into it.

Using my tentacles, I chained his arms and legs and then straightened his head up. Karma-kun pressed his lips together, not intending to lose. This was bad. He was struggling and even though his body should have been fragile at the moment, his strenght was still that of demon.

One minute.

"KARMA-KUUUN! OPEN YOU MOUTH! PLEASE?!" I started begging, not knowing what to do. We had only little time left! If Karma-kun didn't take the medicine at the exact time then the healing process would be much longer! I wanted him to be healthy as soon as possible! Why couldn't he see that?

Suddenly, the doors opened and there stood a young blue haired boy with terror in his eyes.

The redhead under me gasped (probably from embarrasement) and called out: "Nagi-"

But at the same time, I took advantage of the situation and shoved the spoon into his mouth. Not having any other than to swallow it, he started coughing and doing disgusted faces.

0 seconds left and mission accomplished!

Now, now, that was quite a struggle!
