Hey, I'm back! ;)
So yeah, it seems that this little project of mine is not that bad (like I was thinking in the beginning because really, I'm writing in english right now and ... yeah! Thanks a lot again Chizuru! 3 )
I try my best to update weekly but I can't really promise anything because of work and I need time.

Oh and thanks as well for the favs and alerts! :3
I was really happy to see them.

a reader (guest):Naaaa, it is not really that Karma trust them that much... it is more like... he has his own plan after hearing about the effects :P
But I'm not saying what~ and about Kayano, maybe she is thinking something like Karma or more like she and the other girls have their own plans that involves the two of them and ... I think I'll just leave it at that ^^
But nice to know you liked it and yeah, here the next chapter. :)

Hope you guys like this chapter!


2. Chapter: Questionable side effects


It was only half the way down the mountain that I became aware of the fact that I was still holding Karmas hand and that he doesn't seem to mind it one bit or he would have told me long before so.

Or he was just saving blackmailing material again.

Whatever the reason was, I was fast to let go of him after I realized what I was doing.

My cheecks were burning at this point and I think I heard the other chuckle because of this, which I was going to ignore.

But Karma doesn't seem to be done jet.

"Ne Nagisa, don't you want to know why I took this stuff? Why I was okay with it?", asked the redhead and I have to admit, this one got to me.

I took a glance in Karmas direction and saw him grinning at me, his hands behind his slightly tilted head.

"...yeah. It really surprised me that you took the initiative to shove it down my throat. So care to tell me why?"

I still wasn't happy about this one, but it already happened so I can't do anything against it...

"Hm, well to tell you the truth, after what Nakamura said I was thinking 'Nagisa sure would be represented by something cute and embarrassing, it will be great blackmail material'. So I went along with it. And why not? They said it wasn't anything lasting. Who knows, maybe whatever it do may help us with this octopus."

Karmas exclamation let me dumbfounded, it was no reason at all!

But I shut my mouth before I got to say anything as a shudder went down my spine.

Huh?

Did it become colder just now?

I had to suppress another shudder.

It was getting colder or so it seems to me.

.

"Nagisa? You okay?"

Karmas voice startled me out of my thoughts and I was a little surprised to see that I have stopped in the middle of the path near the bottom of the mountain.

The other was only centimetres away from me, causing me to blush harder than before but at the same time...

I can't help but lean a little bit closer to him, Karma seemed to radiate heat and right now I was so cold...

And Karma he even let it happen, let me lean on him to take the warm for myself.

It was so comfortable and that somehow I wanted to sleep right now in those arms that were suddenly encircling me and giving me warmth.

I heard the redhead sigh.

"Really, you're acting a bit different from normal but who am I to complain about this? But well... you sure feel cold to the touch...", murmured the redhead but I didn't seem to care, I really was sleepy right now with Karma as my heater.

So I wasn't surprised to slip away into unconsciousness against my will.

.

I was shivering the next time I woke up to finding myself back in my room at home.

Has Karma carried me home?

He had to; no one else was there at that time... which remind me, what time was it right now?

A look on the clock showed me that it was already 2 in the morning.

Well, seems I was out for quite some time but I have to say that I was now feeling okay if still a little too cold for my liking.
So I grabbed my blankets harder and wanted to vanish in them, to bury myself in the warmth but without much success.

It still was to cold.

With this in mind I decided to get up to fetch another blanket and maybe something to drink as well.

So, with surprisingly little difficulty I got to my cabinet, grabbed myself another thick blanked and headed then to the bathroom to drink something.

It was then that I realized that I got surprisingly little problems to see in the dark, something that wasn't previously the case.

But then it was something to easily ignore in the end.

As I looked into the mirror and saw slit pupils in those blue eyes of mine, well those weren't.

Something wasn't normal and the more I think about it the more I thought about Okuda and this liquid of her.

Was it finally going to show effect?

But then, what really was it doing with my body?!

I didn't knew and wasn't sure that if I wanted to know in the end, the only thing I was looking forward to was that the girls said it lasts only temporary.

I just hoped that it was really like this and nothing else, as well as with the changes.

School was the next day and I wasn't keen to go to school just so that something might happen there.

And then there was Karma.

He had also been drinking this liquid.

So, was something going to happen to him as well?

I hoped not... but if there would be something he would most likely take it in stride, he was Karma after all!

After I calmed down a little and got to drink something, I decided to crawl back into my bed.

I was so not looking forward to the next day...
