Chapter 6: A Thoughtful Gift
Time pass so fast, and July is nearing its end. It's quite hot nowadays, well it's middle of summer after all. Speaking of July, someone's birthday is coming soon and a certain someone hasn't found the perfect gift to give. At the moment, a red-haired-boy is in a pinch at finding the right thing for his best friend. He has tried before, but it ended up with him going home empty handedly.
'This is bad… I haven't bought anything for her.'
Karma can only frown his face. One week, Kayano contacted him, Sugino, Okuda, Kanzaki, and Nakamura. She planned to have a surprise party for Nagisa, which everyone quickly agrees on. They discuss about what cake should they bring, the time for preparation… and the gift. To put it simple, everyone had already prepared something for her, except for Karma. At first he thought how hard could it be to buy a gift, but then when he went shopping he just couldn't find anything for her. Literally nothing.
'Ugh… should I call someone for help?'
He then tries to call and text several girls in former Class-E, however their replies are not helping. Some people just suggest random and weird stuff. For instance, Kurahashi just suggest him to buy a figurine of horrifying bug which she said to be cute. Then there is Hazama who suggests him to buy a curse charm, which he thinks not a great idea. But he does likes Nakamura idea. She just suggests him to buy her a pig poop flavor candy, which amazingly exist. He directly buys it.
'Yeah… that will do. I can't wait to see her face~'
For a while there, horns and tail can be seen from the boy. Then he goes back to his sense and starts to think for the real present.
'Well… That one can be the prank one. So what should I buy for the real one.'
He's hoping that Kayano will read his message, since she is the one who is closest to Nagisa. But then someone unexpectedly text him. It's Kanzaki. She tells him to buy something that suits her or at least reminds him of her.
'Something that reminds me of her huh… That's it! I think that'll do. I remember seeing them in that store. Better gets going now'
Karma then leaves his house and searches for Nagisa's gift.
~~~~0~~~~0~~~~0~~~~
Today is the day. Kayano and the others has already finished the preparation and heading on to Nagisa's apartment. On the way there, Kayano walks next to Karma and starts a conversation.
"Karma, sorry I couldn't help you searching for the gift."
"It's okay. You were busy, right?"
"Yeah… there was something in the agency that I needed to take care of. So in the end, what did you get for her?"
"It's a secret~"
Kayano pouts. "Ehhh… That's no fun at all."
"Well, I want Nagisa to be the one who sees it first."
"Awww, that's so sweet of you.". There is a short silence between them for a while when suddenly Kayano turns to Karma in a worried way. "Wait! You did not buy something weird like."
Karma only gives her a devilish smile which only makes Kayano worries more. She can only hope that nothing will go wrong today.

Today is a really good day for a certain blue-haired-girl. Well, it's Sunday after all. The day where everyone is free from school. But that's not what makes her in a good mood, because today the girl will have a dinner with her family. It's been a while since her father and mother sit in the same table enjoying their food since the divorce. However, since the graduation day both of her parents seem to have better relationship then before. She's really happy about it and hopes that they will eventually get back together and be a whole family again.
'Ah! I almost forgot, today Akari said that she will come to my house. I wonder why she insisted to meet up today? Maybe it's something important?'
Even though they are in high school now, Kayano and Nagisa still hang out pretty often. Speaking of which, Kayano's appearance has reverted to her old one. Her hair is black and untied now. Nowdays they are closer than ever, Nagisa even starts calling her Akari now rather than Kayano. While waiting for her, Nagisa cleans her house a bit, especially her room. Then she prepares some snack, in case they both got hungry. In the middle of that, Nagisa feels like she has forgotten something, but she just shrugs it off. About an hour later, the doorbell ring. Nagisa then fixes her hair into low side ponytail and opens the door.
~~~~0~~~~0~~~~0~~~~
Everyone is getting ready for the surprise. Nakamura and Karma are holding confetti and ready for the boom, while Kayano is holding a chocolate birthday cake. Sugino and Kanzaki then lits the candles. As they finish their preparation, Okuda rings the doorbell. A moment later, Nagisa opens the door for them
"Surprise!"
Nagisa freezes from the shock. She isn't sure what's going on. She analyzes the situation thoroughly wondering what is going on.
'Kay… there are confetti… and cake. Wait… cake? Ooo so today is ….'
Everyone is so confused for a sec there. They do not expect that kind of expression. She just stands there in silent. Well, maybe she is shocked by a surprise party… but they don't think that's the case. They start to suspect that maybe Nagisa doesn't like this kind of stuff.
Nagisa notices her friends' reaction, she starts to feel bad for not noticing earlier. "S…so, I guess today is my birthday right…?". She gives a nervous laugh. "Sorry… I kinda forgot about it."
At that second, everyone laugh so hard which left the blue haired in embarrassment.
Nakamura starts with a tease. "OH MY GOD NAGISA! HOW CAN YOU FORGOT ABOUT YOUR OWN BIRTHDAY~?"
"We…well, because today… I kinda have other things to do later."
Nakamura can only smirks and teases her more. "Eh? Other things? Our Nagisa-chan sure has grown, hasn't she? So~, who's the lucky guy?"
Nagisa can only blinks in confusion. She raises her eyebrow. "What are talking about, Nakamura-san."
"Aww~, don't be shy. You have a date right tonight."
Nagisa gives her a deadpan look. "It's not a date. It's a family matters."
Nakamura put her hand on Nagisa's shoulder. "You have already planned for marriage already?"
Again Nagisa can only give her another deadpan look. "No… you got it all wrong."
Kayano then steps in and tries to stop their endless conversation. "Alright you two, that's enough."
"But, Kayano-chan! Isn't it interesting to know who …"
Karma then suddenly interrupts Nakamura. "Nakamura… stop it already"
"Eh… don't tell me you are jealous?", smirked the yelloy-haired-girl.
"That's not it." Karma then points at the cake. "The candles are melting."
Everyone then panics and tells Nagisa to hurriedly blow the candles.
~~~~0~~~~0~~~~0~~~~
After that unreasonable hectic moment, they all go in the apartment and settle down on the dining area to put the cake. Nagisa then cuts the cake into several slices and puts it in the plates. They all then eat the cake while chats about how failed the surprise. Nagisa smiles at them and tells them that it is not and she's very happy for the party. After finishing their cakes, they proceed with opening the gifts.
The first one is Okuda and Kanzaki's present. It's a teddy bear wrapped into a clear decorative parcel cover with blue ribbon on top.
"Wuah! This is so cute. Thank you.", said Nagisa in cheerful voice.
Kanzaki then replies in a gentle manner. "We're glad you like it."
Okuda nods in aggrement with Kanzaki's statement.
Then they proceed with Sugino's gift. His gift is wrapped in white and yellow stripes paper. After Nagisa opens the wrapping, and takes the content. It's a cute mug.
"Sorry…", said Sugino.
Nagisa tilt her head in confusion. "Why are you sorry?"
"Well… I don't know what you like. So, I decided to buy a mug. I'm not sure you'll like it though."
Nagisa smiles. "Thank you… I like the mug."
Sugino glads that she likes it.
Moving on with Nakamura gifts. It's a 'How to Seduce Man' book. Everyone can only give a not surprise look. Well, it's Nakamura after all.
"Do you like it? Since Bitch-sensei puts you into the number 1 in kissing, I thought that this will be useful for you", said Nakamura in teasing tone.
"…that's very thoughtful of you, Nakamura-san."
Nakamura then laughs. "Nagisa, I was joking. Try peel the cover."
Nagisa then peels the cover. It turns out it's just a camouflage. She wonders why Nakamura did something like this. After the real title visible, Nagisa can only show her biggest smile. It's a sonic-ninja comic book golden edition which has ran out a week ago in Japan.
"Nakamura-san. Thank you so much. I really love it."
"You should be! It took me hours to get one."
"You don't need to go on that trouble, you know."
Nakamura then drops her mischievous smile and replace it with a genuine one. "Well… I kinda makes lots of trouble for you. Like how many times have I pranked you. I need to at least give you something you like. So be grateful, Nagisa-chan~."
"Yeah! Thank you."
Next, she opens Kayano's gift. Nagisa eyes are wide open in shock. It's…it's Koro-sensei crescent moon neck tie.
"So… how is it?", said Kayano
"I… don't know what to say."
"I know you probably will not use the tie, but consider this as a support from Koro-sensei since you want to be a teacher. Ah! I kinda left the hole intact there. It's somehow more meaningful that way."
"…Akari, how did you get it?"
"Well, I kinda ask Karasuma-sen… Karasuma-san for it. It's a good thing he let me have it."
"Thank you…"
"You're welcome."
Last but not least Karma's gift which is put in decorative paper bag. Inside there is a small box. Upon opening the box, Nagisa finds bunch of candy which she has never seen before.
"Try it~"
Nagisa then chew one. Her expression turns weird. It tastes so sour, then sweet and smoky. "Karma…what is this flavor?"
"It's pig poop~"
Nagisa face goes blank. She spits the candy immediately. No wonder it tastes so weird.
The others can only give a weird look on him.
Karma only smirks. "What? It was Nakamura's idea."
"You guys sure have weird ideas for gifts.", said Kayano while giving Nagisa a glass of water.
"I was joking you know. I didn't know you really bought that candy.", response Nakamura.
"Eh~, I'm not finish yet. There is something beneath those candies.",said Karma
Nagisa can only give a scared smile. "Karma… I don't think I can handle something worse than this."
"Don't worry it's not something weird.", replied Karma.
Nagisa then toss all those candies to the table. It's a faceted blue crystal pendant.
'He's right it's not something weird, but …'
Everyone stays silence. This time they look at Karma in shock. They don't expect him to be someone who gives jewelry type of guy.
Karma is confused by the silence. 'Why is everyone so quite. Is my gift that weird.'
"Look, I know that my gift is not as good as Kayano's or Nakamura's… But it's not that weird right?"
Nagisa shakes her head. "It's not weird… It just… you know quite unexpected of you."
Karma raises his eyebrow. "Well, I don't know what to buy for you. But then I came across that pendant. For some reason it reminds me of you."
"Reminds you of Nagisa?", asked Sugino.
"Well how do I put it. It just the perfect color for her personality. Besides, it matches her eyes."
"Match her eyes?". This time Okuda asks the question.
"Well, you see… Nagisa has a really pretty blue eyes, and it just match her, that's all."
Hearing that, Nagisa's face turn bright red instantly. Realizing what he just said, Karma face also starts to become red.
'Why did I say that?'

Author's note
Hello everyone, how are you? Well this chapter is a bit long, so I'll end it here first. The next chapter will be a continuation of this one. Fufufufu. How will everyone react to Karma's statement though. Saying her eyes is pretty, it's so cheesy! Hahahaha. I wonder if pig's poop flavor candy exists. Nah, I'ts probably not. So what do you think about the gifts? I'm really sorry if the character sometimes seems a bit off. Thank you so much for your review. I'm really happy to get some. I hope you'll enjoy this chapter.
