Hellooo everyone! I'm back with another chapter! I might be a little late, sorry! School is back so updates will be slower now. You saw the chapter I posted before this is replaced... I will be updating of course, just slower. My Sacred Heart fanfic will also be updated hopefully by next week. I am having a bit of a writer's block for the chap. It will be out soon, I hope... Anyway, on with the story!

Chapter 4: Play Time Part 2

Karma sighed as he made his way to the school hall. Finally, it is the day. What day? The day of the school play that is to be performed by the E class. Recalling the times he was eavesdropping on their practices, he did not question what they were doing for the play.

"And it is time to forget about that girl too," he thought.

It had been three weeks since then, and night after night he had been plagued with dreams about the Nagisa girl. Some of them were merely just looking at her and admiring her beauty while some of them were… erotic. Karma did not really understand those dreams, for he knew of his preference in sexuality. He was gay, through and through, though there was a time when he thought he was bisexual. Nagisa, he had to admit, was more cute than pretty. She was… rather flat, thus maybe why he got so flustered. Then again, Karma just assumed that it is his teenage hormones working up.

Karma took a seat in the front row, where the A class will be seating in, so they can throw food at the stage, he supposed.

Slowly, the hall began to fill up and the lights were turned off. A voice was then played out.

"Konnichiwa, minna-san~! I am the Class 3E's homeroom teacher, known as Koro-sensei!" an all too cheery voice bounced on. "I could not make it to the play today, family matter… So I recorded this to be played before the real fun starts. Now, just sit back and enjoy, okay~?"

"This teacher is really optimistic…" Karma thought as he crossed his arms when the play began.

"I see plenty of people. Some are drug addicts, some are poor but smart, some are pure geniuses. Personally, I do not care about them. Those are their choices, their life to control. But I… am nothing but a puppet." Karma's heart skipped as Nagisa walked into the stage.

A lady's voice boomed out offstage. "I should had had a boy, but I had you instead. However, I will not let this go to waste. You will be trained to be a successor of my company, like it or not."

From the corner of his eye, Karma spotted a blonde haired girl speaking into the microphone. His attention was diverted back to the stage as Nagisa started speaking again.

"I guess… that is just my life. To please, to succeed, to be controlled."

Truthfully, Karma is more interested on Nagisa to actually listen to what she said.

The play went on. The crowd's eyes widened as the Sugino the assassin killed Sunako's parents. They gasped as she, in turn killed the assassin and started her training to kill. They rolled their eyes when Isogai who acted as Kazuya Sei made his appearance, knowing what might happen next. They nearly shrieked when Sunako was kidnapped by the government police forces. Their eyes hardened when they learned that Sunako must kill Kazuya. Most of the girls "aw"-ed when Kzuya and Sunako kissed.

BOOM! The audience jumped as Sunako threw down the "grenade" that exploded. When the mist cleared, some cried when they saw Sunako and Kazuya on the ground, blood pooling around them but still hugging each other in death.

The curtains were about to be pulled down as Nagisa and Isogai made to get up from their position when-

CRACK!

Everyone jumped. What was that?

CRACK!

This time, Nagisa figured out where the sound came from. He looked up just in time to see a metal pole falling down...

ON THEM!

"Isogai! Watch out!" Nagisa pushed him aside and jumped onto the falling pole with whatever skills Karasuma-sensei taught them. He landed on the stage unsteadily. Eyes widened as he lost his balance . Gravity took place as he fell off the stage.

Karma watched in horror as Nasgisa fell off. I was as if everything was in slow motion, and before he knew it, his body moved instinctly.

Nagisa shut his eyes as he braced himself for the inevitable pain.

Nothing happened.

Tentatively, he opened his eyes, to find himself staring at a pair of orange-golden eyes.

He couldn't help it. He blushed a crimson red. He could then feel the pair of strong arms carrying him bridal-style. Nagisa wished he can hide his face somewhere. He can already hear the snickering of his classmates, mentally.

Karma didn't know how he did it. He was holding the cute girl Nagisa in his arms. To be exact, he is carrying her bridal-style. As Nagisa opened her eyes, he found himself mesmerized by the pair of beautiful teal eyes. The girl in his arms was petite and cute. He can feel a blish creeping up his cheeks.

"A-ano... Can you put me down now?"

Karma's blushed crimson red this time. He almost dropped Nagisa but steadied himself before putting the petite girl down.

"Thank you for saving me," Karma noticed that the girl was also blushing as she thanked him.

Trying to put on his usual lazy face, Karma drawled out.

"No problem."

Composing himself, he went back to his seat. Nagisa, in turn went backstage.

Nagisa was immediately surrounded by his classmates as soon as he went backstage. Koro-sensei was there too. He had faked the recording, as Karasuma-sensei didn't want to risk him being dos overed.

"Nagisa! Are you hurt?!"

"He didn't do anything to you, right?"

Nagisa turned red when his classmates started to embarrass him.

"Actually, you two look really cute together!"

"I have to agree! Nagisa was actually acting like a girl just now!'

" I wished I took a picture of that!"

Nagisa felt like he could melt from embarrassment. He wished the stranger hadn't saved him, but if he didn't, Nagisa was sure he would have ended up with a broken spine right then.

Meanwhile, Karma sat back in his seat, his arms crossed.

"Psst.. Akabane, what was that just now?" his classmate nudged him and asked. "Why did you do that?"

Karma merely shrugged as Koro-sensei's voice played out again.

"And there you have it, everyone! This is the product of everyone's, the Class E students', hard work! Let's not forget about the star of the play too, Sunako-chan~! She worked especially hard for this day! The teachers, Irina-sensei and Karasuma-sensei, also helped greatly, even going as far as to send the whole class to France to train them! Thanks to these amazing people, today's play is a great success!"

With that, the speech ended. Not so surprisingly, the audience clapped and no food were thrown.

"Oh, and good luck for you upcoming exams next week! The E class are not holding back on that, either~!" Koro-sensei's voice rang out.

That was when it struck them. How could they forget that there were exams the next week? The first terms!

As the crowd dispersed out the hall, Karma cursed when he realized that the teal-haired girl was still stuck in his mind.

Well, it looks like he will be studying some more later...

End of the second last chapter! Next chapter will be the last! Woohooooo! Then the sequel that will also be around 5-10 chapter! Then there's another 2 fics to write out! My brain is bursting with ideas but I can't do much because I have an important exam coming up this year. THERE'S TOO MUCH FOR ME TO HANDLE!.!.! Calm down there, Hayuka, calm down... Anyway, that's Chapter 4 done and the final chapter will be out in two or more weeks time. Till then ja~

P.S. It's really hard typing on the phone. Now that it is not a holiday, my parents do no allow me to use the computer... T^T

Yours,
