A/N : Most of this chapter isn't from Kayano's POV, instead I'll use 3rd person POV.

Nagisa was watching the battle between Kayano and Koro-sensei in front of him while clenching his fist, feeling useless. He wiped his tears with his right arm, and his expression quickly changed into serious face.

'... It doesn't work. What should I do to get her back?'

Actually, Nagisa didn't really cry. It was just an 'acting' since Nagisa was not that crybaby. Even though you could say it had been only an 'acting', he was really worried about his first love, Kayano, who seemed to become crazier.

Nagisa continued to stare at Kayano, observing each of her movements. She looked really horrible, with the root of tentacles had almost reached her face, eyes full of hatred that was only focusing on Koro-sensei, and mouth wide-opened repeatedly saying the same one word 'Die'.

He could not stand watching that horrible scene without doing anything. He felt that he hadn't really done anything for getting her back to her normal self.

'What should I do?'

He asked himself again in his mind, not getting an answer from anyone. He did his best to dig his brain for information. Perhaps he could find a way to get Kayano back to her normal self.

Nagisa still cared about her. It was because that if what she had said was true about she had been acting since the first time they met, he thought that wouldn't change his feeling at all. His love feeling for her was very strong and unwavering. He really loved her even until now, and he had already understood that he was happy just to see her each day in the same classroom. He thought if he didn't end up in Class E, he wouldn't meet Kayano, and if Kayano didn't have the ambition to kill Koro-sensei, she wouldn't end up in Class E as well.

It seemed like a destiny. Nagisa was really grateful to be with her in this class and experienced various of shared experiences that made them both to be even closer.

Acting or not, she was still herself. Acting is one part of her. She couldn't let go of that easily since it had already filled her, mingled into a single body whose name was Kayano.

Nagisa still believed her. Like how he still trust her, he wanted Kayano to trust him too.

So, he earnestly listened to Koro-sensei's explanations, kept digging his mind until he found an exact answer while his eyes still fixed on Kayano and followed her movements wherever she was.

'No... What I did isn't enough. I need to do something that will distract her attention more.'

As Nagisa continued to dig his mind, slowly, panic started to fill his mind as well. Everyone who saw him in this state would immediately knew that he was really worried and panicked.

Karma stared at Nagisa who was still in the same spot thinking in silence. Karma looked calm because he wasn't really close to Kayano. However, Kayano was still his classmate, so he was actually a little bit worried. But, what made him more worried was Nagisa. Nagisa had already become his friend even before he ended up in Class E. He cared for him as his friend. Because of that, he decided to help him to get Kayano back to normal.

Karma walked toward Nagisa and stood beside him. Nagisa noticed Karma who was standing beside him, so Nagisa looked at him curiously.

Karma started talking to Nagisa as he watched Kayano carefully. "Even we talk to her when she is in this state, she won't hear. We have to do something with actions, not words."

Nagisa also went back to focus on Kayano who had been fighting with Koro-sensei unilaterally with her tentacles, and replied, "Yes. And we need her to lose her killing intent although it's just for a moment."

Karma thought for a moment, then smirked when he got an idea. "Nagisa, try to remember Bitch-sensei's lessons. You may find something."

Nagisa raised an eyebrow at him. "Bitch-sensei? I don't think so." Even though Nagisa said that, Karma still told him to remember Bitch-sensei's lessons, so Nagisa tried to do what he said.

And then, after thinking for a few seconds, he remembered something.

"Ah!"

'It may works on her.'

When Nagisa finally found an idea about what he would do to Kayano, at that moment, Kayano managed to attack Koro-sensei's heart which was his weakness with her tentacles.

As Kayano showed a slight smirk on her face complacently, Nagisa immediately grabbed her left arm from behind.

Kayano was surprised when she felt a warm hand (because he was wearing gloves) hold her arm, stopping her body from moving. Kayano glared at the owner of the hand and wanted to attack the disturber but didn't do it as soon as she looked at the owner of the hand, Nagisa.

"Nagisa! It's dangerous to be that close to her-", Isogai shouted while started running toward Nagisa worriedly but Karma blocked his way.

"See what he will do," Karma said with amusement. A smirk appeared on his face.

Nagisa and Kayano began to stare at each other's faces. The look in their eyes as if it was capable of piercing each other. It was like a staring competition. They had been in such a state within a few minutes.

However, the staring competition ended when Nagisa first started talking to her. "Kayano. I know you may not like this, but I will do it."

Kayano didn't know what he meant and was confused. But before she could react and say something, Nagisa pulled her body toward him with his right hand and hugged her tightly. He then kissed her mouth passionately. He could feel his lips touch her soft lips gently, making him want to touch her more.

1 hit, 2 hit, 5 hit, 10 hit... 15 hit.

Even though everyone was there watching them kissing and Karma was taking several photos of them, Nagisa didn't care and continued to kiss her.

After Kayano ran out of breath and fainted, he caught her with his right hand and wiped her sweats on her cheeks with his other hand.

He showed a smile on his face and looked at Kayano's face.

'I love you, Kayano.'

Kayano's POV

It had been 2 weeks since that incident. After I had fainted for a few minutes, Koro-sensei told his past to all the students. Truth had been revealed and no one doubted his story at all.

As tentacles had already been removed from me, my head somehow felt lighter. All this time, I felt that my head was heavier. Perhaps it was because of the tentacles, or hatred which was increasingly accumulated in my head for almost 6 months.

I could control my emotions now. My conditions was already stable and I was recovered. I thought I would be out of the hospital tomorrow.

I stared at the blue sky through the window in convenient silence. I was alone, but I felt much more relax.

*knock knock*

'Perhaps it's the doctor.'

"Yes," I said as the door started to open.

Unexpectedly, the one who was entering the room was not the doctor but Nagisa. I widened my eyes seeing him, then covered my face with blanket so he couldn't see my face.

I bet my face was as red as tomato now. It was embarrassing. I kept remembering what happened 2 weeks ago, when he had k-kissed... me.

I could feel his presence near my body. Knowing that he was right sitting beside me, I looked away from him, still covering my eyes with blanket.

It seemed like Nagisa didn't mind it at all because he didn't mention about me looking away from him. Nevertheless, he began to talk to me.

"Kayano, I'm glad you are recovered. I was really worried when you were like that. I didn't expect that you actually had tentacles and that you are Yukimura-sensei's sister."

After saying that, he paused for a moment, then continued his words again, "Kayano, I want to tell you something important."

His voice changed into serious tone, so I accidentally peeked at him through the blanket with curiosity.

He gave me a gentle smile seeing that I was peeking, making my cheeks red. He then stroked my head until he told me what he wanted to say.

"You know, Kayano. Everyone in Class E is your friends. They are not 'fake' and care about you. They all truly like you and you are a part of our class. Without you, or perhaps without one member of Class E, we will feel lost. So, don't say that you have been acting, because we know you are you, an important member of Class E."

Hearing that, I widened my eyes. I didn't know that they thought about me like that. Even though I just thought of them as nothing and were only background characters in my life... I didn't cherish them at all.

What am I doing, really? Even though they had become my friends almost for 6 months now... Even though they thought that I was one of their friend all this time...

I replied Nagisa with a nod. But, all of sudden, tears started to come out of the corners of my eyes.

"I'm sorry... I'm really an idiot."

I started to sob and covered my eyes with both of my arms, so Nagisa wouldn't see this embarrassing side of me.

"I'm sorry..."

I repeatedly said sorry until Nagisa hugged me again. The warmth of his body felt connected to me as I could feel his body with mine. His warmth also gradually warmed my body. He was a guy yet he had soft and white skin, just like a girl. It made me a bit jealous.

Nagisa patted my back a few times, trying to calm me down.

"It's alright. We won't hate you. And, there's one thing I want to tell."

Nagisa wiped my tears with his finger. I tilted my head in confusion as he rummage through his bag. When he found it, he took it from his bag but still hid it from me.

"Close your eyes."

"Eh?"

"Just do it."

I did what he said and closed my eyes. My heart was beating so fast, wanting to know quickly what he wanted to show.

I could feel a slight brush of fingers around my neck. I twitched a bit because it was ticklish.

"Done. You can open your eyes now."

I nodded, slowly opening my eyes. As soon as I opened my eyes, my vision was greeted by Nagisa's smile again. He pointed his index finger to my neck, so my eyes unconsciously followed where his finger pointed at.

There was a simple cute necklace hung around my neck. It was a necklace with a heart-shaped hole in the middle and 'love' word was right beside it.

"It looks good on you." Nagisa praised while continued to look at me. I muttered a 'thank you' shyly and he replied it with a caress on my head.

"Kayano... I know that you know this, but..." He stopped in the middle of his words for a moment. His face started to become red as he said the continuation of his words. "I love you." He looked away from me after he said that, embarrassed, then giving pause to his own words until he continued again, "H-How about you?"

Still looking away from me while his face became redder as time quickly passed, I let out a giggle. I certainly knew what the answer was and decided to not lie about my own feeling this time. I knew this feeling was real, so I had to tell this to him as my answer for his question.

I held his chin and my gaze fixed on his face. While my face became closer and closer to him, I gave him a peck on his cheek. Nagisa was surprised at that time, then I gave him my answer.

"I love you too."

"I'm jealous of them. They have mutual feelings," Kurahashi commented as she pressed her right ear on the door.

"It's the first couple in Class E," Maehara replied while showing a grin on his face.

"Umm... It's not good to eavesdrop like that," Okuda said in panic.

"Seems like our plan didn't really help, huh? Oh, well, at least we make them a bit closer at their date in the amusement park," Nakamura said while crossing her arms, nodding her head a few times as if she agreed to her own opinion.

Seeing all of his students were eavesdropping Kayano and Nagisa's conversation, Koro-sensei looked at them happily and whispered to himself, "Nurufufufu they care for each other." Koro-sensei then raised his head, looking up just to see the white ceiling above him. "This bond of Class E won't be until after they finally can kill me one day."

"Koro-sensei." Karma walked toward him as he put his hands into his pockets. "You seem to talk about something to yourself~"

All of the students there turned around to look at Koro-sensei in wonder.

Koro-sensei quickly denied Karma's words. "I didn't say anything, Karma-kun. Let's just go inside."

"Eh, wait! Koro-sensei, don't go inside-", Maehara exclaimed in panic as Koro-sensei opened the door, making both Nagisa and Kayano who was in the room surprised.

Knowing that their conversation was heard by the other students and Koro-sensei, they looked away from each other with red face. After they had overcome their embarrassment, the students and Koro-sensei started to interact with each other like usual, just like when they were in classroom. It was as though they completely forgot about that incident about Kayano. They were able to make the situation go back to normal as if there was nothing happened two weeks ago.

Time couldn't be stopped by anyone. They knew that a lot of things would be happened from now on and they would get new experiences as Class E. But, they believed their story would reach a happy ending eventually.

A/N : it's the end of 2nd arc. Next chapter is the high school arc. Like I said before, I don't plan this story to be very long, so with a few chapters again, this story may be finished.
