Chapter 12: A Play of Deception.
It's been a year since Koro-sensei death, now everyone in the former class E has entered their second year. Nothing really change in both Karma and Nagisa's live. Both of htem still do lots of study session and hangs out with the others. Karma is still competing with Asano in grades and Nagisa is still teaching Sakura regularly… But that's not exactly true. There is a little change.
Ever since Karma realizes his feeling, he could never see Nagisa like he used to. Every little moment they share, there is this warmth and excitement in his heart. For instance, last valentine when he received chocolate from Nagisa, He smiled all day long eventhough he knew that it was just an obligatory chocolate. Furthermore, he starts to notice of every single thing about Nagisa now. The way she laughs. The way she talks. The way she twitches and keeps glancing at him whenever she wants to ask a question. Yup the expression she just made.
Karma puts one of his hands against his cheek. "Nagisa, do you want to ask something?"
"Well… you see… What kind of stuff did people do in a date?", said Nagisa nervously.
Karma mind is blown for a second. He tries to calm himself and act normal. "Why do you want to know something like that suddenly?"
"I kinda have a date this Saturday…"
This time Karma doesn't know how he feels. Disappointment and sadness mix together. He brushes those feeling off with a really weird smirk in his face. "W-with who? A classmate?"
"No… It's with Maehara-kun."
At that moment part of Karma's world break. He just doesn't get it why Maehara. If it's with Sugino or Isogai, Karma probably will just let her go since both of them quite decent guys. But Maehara the womanizer. He knew that he is not a bad guy, but it still somewhat worrisome. Furthemore, he thought about what will happen if Maehara breaks Nagisa heart, or cheats on her.
Karma was too lost in his own thought that he didn't even hear Nagisa explanation about her circumstances.
"Karma! Karma!"
The red head shocks by the girl voice. "Y-yeah, what is it Nagisa?"
"You did hear what I just said, right?"
"O-of course", he lies. He feels really sad and devastated. It hurts him so much, but if it makes Nagisa happy he thought that he will support them. The day went by with Karma trying to act normal. Little did he know Nagisa notices this which makes her really worry about her best friend.
Later that night, Karma gets an unexpected call by someone.
~~~~0~~~~0~~~~0~~~~
Kayano was utterly in shock when her friend called her about the date. Apparently It's more like Maehara asked her for favor rather than a date. It seems that there is this weird girl who is forcing him to be his boyfriend and the story somehow got worse on that point.
"So that's how it is, Nagisa?"
"Yes, Akari. I feel bad if I refused it…"
Nagisa then proceeds telling Kayano what Maehara had told her. It seems that the girl is close to the level of obsess when it comes to him. Like taunting other girls that gave her love letter, stalking him on a date, and many more.
Kayano is slouching in her bed. At this point she worries about Nagisa's safety from the creepy girl. "…Nagisa, just be careful all right? She seems a little bit dangerous."
"Yeah… Thank you. But you don't need to worry about me. I got this… I think "
"Well, you can always unleash your bloodlust when you are in a pinch." Both of them laugh at that statement, but it is true that Nagisa can infact protect herself. "Speaking of which… Nagisa, Did Karma know about this?"
"I'm not sure…"
"What do you mean, Nagisa?"
"I did tell him… but he seems to stop listen to my explanation in the middle of the way. So… I'm not sure if he got it…"
Kayano lets out small giggle. She thinks she understand what did happen. "Okay then, it's getting late. I'll help you make up tomorrow morning okay. Good night, Nagisa!"
"Good night, Akari."
Kayano searches her contact and directly calls the red haired.
'Now, someone will need a mental support. This will be interesting.', thought her.

Karma is lying in his bed lad looks at the ceiling absent mindedly. He thought that studying will keep his mind occupied, but it's not. He just can't stop thinking about the fact that Nagisa and Maehara are dating. It's hurt, but he tries to accept. He feels that if that makes Nagisa happy then it's okay. Still the thought of it just couldn't leave his minds. Then he hears his phone ringing.
'Just who is it at this hour…?'
He looks at his phone and see Kayano's name on the screen.
'Urg… I don't feel like it today.'
So he decides not to answer. However, another calls appear again on his phone several times. He thought that if he leaves her be she will stop. But she didn't… In the end he picks up his phone.
"Hi, Karma!", said Kayano with cheerful voice.
"What is Kayano?", Karma says in annoyed voice
"Did you hear about Nagisa's date?"
At that moment, Karma feels like a sharp knife stabs through his heart. He doesn't need to hear this word anymore today.
"Karma? Are you still there? Hello?"
"I'm still here Kayano… and I know about the date.", said Karma in rather small tone.
"You sound rather sad. So it is true."
"True? What are you talking about?"
"Nagisa and I were having call before. She told me that you did not really listen to her explanation… sort of."
"I did listen to her!", exclaimed Karma
"Well, you certainly didn't get the part that the date is supposedly fake."
Karma processes Kayano's word for a second. "WAIT, WHAT?"
"Well…" Kayano then explains what she just heard from Nagisa.
"So, that's how it is…". A sigh of relieve can be heard from Karma. He is glad that they we're not dating for real.
"You sound very glad. Don't tell you have admitted that you like her?", Kayano says in joking tone.
Karma gives a brief silence. "Actually, you are right… I do like her romactically."
Hearing this, Kayano squeals in joy. She can't believe it, he actually admitted it. "Finally! What took you so long?"
"Yeah… How did you know in the first place?", answered Karma in rather embarrassed tone.
"Well… it's kind of obvious. At first I'm not sure about it. Both of you seem close yet far at the same time. I mean… there are several times when you show the sign of it, for instance I know you are kind of pissed when Yuji-kun hit on Nagisa and tried to hide it by teasing her. Then it got very obvious when the civil war ended. I pretty sure that most of the class somehow knew about it. Even Koro-sensei knew it."
"…Is it that obvious?"
"I think so.", answered Kayano bluntly. "I mean there are still several people who are clueless about it, like you and Nagisa. Still I wonder why it took you so long to realize it."
"I guess it's because I'm stubborn."
"Really?", said Kayano in disbelieve "I know you are.… but you seem to be the kind of person who caught on this kind of things pretty fast… and in my opinion there is other things that you are trying to avoid."
Karma is shocked by the girl's response because she is spot on. "You sure do know a lot, Kayano."
Kayano lets out a chuckle. "Of course, we all practically hanging out together very often."
"I see…"
"Anyway, tomorrow I will keep an eye of the date. Do you want to come?"
"…sure."
"Great! I'll text you the meeting place. Good night!"
Kayano then hangs up the phone. Not long after that, a text consist of time and place is sent to his phone. Karma then sets his alarm and closes his eyes.

'Ugh… how did I end up in this kind of situation.'
Nagisa can only wonder why she ends up here. She remembered that 3 days ago Maehara called her to ask a favor. He said it was something important. He seems to have a trouble with a certain girl and needs someone to be his fake date. Nagisa had asked him why not just go with Okano, but Maehara said that it seemed that Okano thought he deserved it and didn't want to help him. Nagisa felt pity and decided that she will help… which led her to now.
Not to mention before came here, Kayano had put some make-up on her. She also helped arrange her hair and pick the right clothes. Nagisa's hair now tied in half with a simple hair ornament. She ended up wearing a white buttoned shirts added up with navy blue frilly skirt. Kayano also told her to wear the pendant that Karma gave her, which at first Nagisa reluctant to wear. She feels bad to wear it for this.
'I hope I didn't look to weird.'
At that moment a familiar voice calls her. "Nagisa! Over here!"
"Maehara-kun." Nagisa walks to him.
"Wuah! You look so adorable, Nagisa."
Nagisa gaves a nervous smile. "I got some help on them…"
"But seriously, you look so pretty today. I'm not even mind if this is a real date! Or maybe we should be couple afterall.", said Maehara jokingly.
Nagisa politely refuses the offer with sweat dropping smile. "…I think I have to refuse it."
"Ah, that's too bad.", said Maehara in a little disappointment. "Nagisa, thank you for agreeing to this. This means a lot to me."
"Don't mention it, Maehara-kun. But I still wonder… what kind of girl can make you into this kind of trouble?"
This time Maehara is the one who gives the nervous smile. "You'll see her… soon."
A few moments later, a girl with semi-long curly brunette hair shows up. She looks very decent and cute in Nagisa's opinion.
"Maehara-chi! Sorry I'm late.", said the girl with a cute tone.
"I-it's okay…" Maehara then grabs Nagisa shoulder which makes her a little bit shock. "Anyway… This is the girlfriend that I told you about… See… she's real."
"Uwaaa, so this is the girlfriend that you are so in love with." She then offers her hand to Nagisa. "My name is Alice. Watanabe Alice. Nice to meet you."
Nagisa takes her hand. It seems that Alice gripping her hand to hard and shows a really weird smile which makes Nagisa a little bit uncomfortable. "Shi-shiota Nagisa… Nice to meet you too, Watanabe-san."
And so their long day begins
~~~~0~~~~0~~~~0~~~~
On the bench nearby the meeting point, Karma is waiting for Kayano for their stake out.
'What took her so long…'
He then tries to pass time by observing his surroundings. He notices that Maehara has arrived at the meeting point. Not long after that Nagisa also arrives. He starts to feel irritated.
'This girl, just where is she?'
"Karma! Sorry I was late."
Karma looks toward the voice direction. He's shocked by the girl appearance. "…Since when did you wear glasses?"
"Ah! This is for the disguise. I don't want anyone to recognize me. My manager will be very angry if I walk around with a guy stalking someone's date.", said Kayano while panting from running.
"Then, why go in to trouble just to come?"
"The same reason as you. I'm worried." Kayano then tosses a Fedora hat to Karma. "By the way, wear this."
Karma raises his eyebrow. "What for?"
"For disguise. Your red hair is too flashy and we don't want Nagisa to take notice of us, right?"
Karma sighes and wears the hat. "I guess you've got some point."
Both of them then wait until another girl comes and greets Maehara and Nagisa. The moment she shakes her hand with Nagisa, both Karma and Kayano could feel something wrong about her. They just stare at each other giving signal that the girl must have had something up to her sleeve. After the three move from the meeting point, Karma and Kayano start their stake out.

Author's note

I'm not sure if Karma is a little bit OOC or not in this chapter, but in my opinion even though he is a prankster and sometimes like to tease someone, he seems to be the type that will support his loved on love life even if it's not with him. Well, that's just my opinion LOL. Anyway enjoy~ The next chapter will be the continuation from this one. I hope you guys will wait for it lol. Ah! I forgot to tell you guys.
