Nagisa sat at home as he watched a special program on Animal Planet, about BLACK WIDOWS.

[TV playing:]
"Yes the dangerous black widow is to be approached with caution, as the black widow's bite can cause death. The black widow is easily recognized by her coal black body and red hourglass marking. She encases her victims with silk, and then kills with poison from her fangs. The male spider is not considered to be dangerous"

Dangerous...

Suddenly, the door opened as Nagisa turned off the tv, as he stood by the door and greeted his mother with a respevtfuly bow,"welcome back mother,"

"Oh hello, my dearling Princesses!" His mother beamed.

She gracefully walked over by the dinning table and plavs her suite case down on the surface, she scanned her surroundings, like she always does.

"My my Nagisa, you surd know how to tidy up," she turned with a cheerful smile.

"Mother, may I speak with you?" Nagisa asked respecfully.

"Come, have a seat dear," his mother pulled out the dinning chair as Nagisa sat down, then scooted the chair in.

With her eyes closed and a wide grin, she took her handcuffs and handcuffed Nagisa's hands behind the chair,"mom!?" Nagisa called.

"Oh don't be scared dearling, it's for your own good," she cheerfully said as she sat down in the chair across from him,"now," her eyes narrowed as her tone changed.

"What exactly did you want to talk about?" His mother eyed.

"Before I talk...may you take the handcuffs off me?" Nagisa then asked.

"NO." His mother said,"get to the point, Nagisa." She coldly said.

"It would be greatly appreciated if you didn't hit me anymore," Nagisa said firmly.

Suddenly his mother cracked a smile as her eyes sparkled,"Oh well, if that's what you want...of crouse Nagisa! From today forward, I will not hit you!" She smiled cheerfully as she titled her head,"okay,"

Nagisa slightly smiled, wow, that was a lot easier then I thought.

He smiled and looks up to his mother,"thank--- ah!" Suddenly he gasped.

He looked down to see his mother's hand attached to a knife that pirced his admentment,"Oh my Nagisa, I suppose my hand slipped, you understand right, Nagisa?" She playfully said as she walked away leaving her son in the chair with the knife in him.

"Ahh...," Nagisa looked down,"what the hel-," suddenly two hands from behind started to rap duck tape around his mouth,"shut up already!" he heard his mother from behind.

Tears streamed down Nagisa's face, this shit isn't going to end. If she not gonna hit me, what is she gonna do?-stab me instead!? I can't deal with this! Why is she so fucking....evil!?

The mute Nagisa watched his mother walk around as she scotted the chair out.

She stood there for a moment as she watched Nagisa. His knees together as his body trembled and shook as blood from his adement dripped down his legs. His arms frimly cuffed behind his back as tears streamed down his face.

The woman signed as she walked into the bathroom and came back with a white bucket of supplies.

First, she pulled the knife out forcefully as Nagisa wknced in pain, he bleed out.

Second, his mother carefully began to clean and sanitized the knife as she place it back into her knife holder and through it back into her briefcase.

Third, Nagisa felt extremely weak and fatigue.

Fourth, His mother kicked the chair backwards as Nagisa hit his arms, the chair flipped sideways lending on his wound as he bleed out.

His mother place a towel on the floor and started to clean up the blood. It was when, Nagisa drew tried was when his mother finally attend to his wounds.

She soaked his wound with alcohol as she pinched his wound together, and pulled out a clothing needle and thread. And she began to stitch up the wound. She took out some bandaging cloth and began to bandaging his wound.

After his mother attending to his wounds, Nagisa laid there. As he blinked triedly, he drifted off into a sleep.

After an hour later, Nagisa awaken by the rip of the duck type off his face,"wake up," she mother called.

His mother took off the cuffs as she pulled him up,"go to your room, Now!"

Nagisa feeling disorientated stumbled into his room. As he tripped over his feet and fall on the floor, his mother shut his door.

Nagisa crawled into bed, feeling weak and tried he fell asleep.

Two hours later, he awake listening to loud drilling and hammering in the background.

"What the?" Nagisa painfully stood up, holding his wound as he reached for the door handle, but it was stuck.

"What?" He turned the knob but something on the other side of the door, forbidded himmfrom turning the knob.

Suddenly with the sound of a chair being dragged, His mother opened the door.

"NAGISA! COME I HAVE A SURPRISE FOR YOU!" SHE shouted as she took his arm forcefulky as she pulled himnout of the room,"look," she pointed above the kitchen sink on the wall.

The two by four, which was labeled: Board of Education, which she used in Nagisa for years was drilled and placed on the wall like a trophy,"isn't it beautiful?" She said admiring her weapon on choice.

Nagisa just nodded and went along. But deep inside of his bones Nagisa was scared. His mother had displayed the two by four in the kitchen as a trophy.

And if anyone would see it, they'd think it was a joke. A joke that she got away with. It made Nagisa sick. He knew that she was willing to give up the weapon for a new favoritable weapon instead, her knife.

Of crouse she won't hit me know, she found a new toy to play with. And that knife will be the death of me...I need to take it from her...but how?

~***~

Nagisa, went to school the next day, despite his pain and his injury Nagisa always looked forward to school. It was the only outlet he had to excape from his posionous mother.

Although he played as if he had no knife injury, he was in pain. The wound bruised and it ached. Even lending forwards hurt. So Nagisa sat up straight in his chair, his arms stretched out, as he sat and took notes.

Although Nagisa looked rather odd, no one really paid attention to how he sat in his sat, to his suddenly good posture. No one really observed him, no one but one person.

Karma watched Nagisa as he fought through the painful injury as a student asked him something, Nagisa smiled as he slowly have the other student a piece of paper. When the student left Nagisa slightly winced as he put his hand near his torso, but he stop in mid air as he place it back to his desk. Which his fingers grasped the side of his desk, when he wenced his fingers gribbed the desk. But Nagisa continued to fight it. As if he wasn't injuried at all.

Stupid Nagisa, Karma thought as he titled his head calmly looking at him.

When the bell rang for dismissal, Karma stood up and walked out of the classroom bit just before he turned and leave Nagisa looked up, and for a second their eyes met. Karma's eyes peirced their Nagisa's soul, as if he was up to no good. Nagisa frowned and he stared right back at him. Karma then gave a smirk and the red haired boy left the room.

Nagisa shook his head as he gathered his school belongs and walked out the room. He walked down the hall where he saw his peers scattered among themselves in groups of two, three, four and sometimes five. Nagisa invy the normal life of an average student.

A normal teen would have mood swings and pissed off at their parents for embrassing them on from of their friends like showing them his or her baby pictures. Nagisa smiled at the thought of that. He wouldn't mind at all if his mother was more like that. That smile then faded. My mother...

Just as Nagisa turned the corner from the outside building he suddenly felt a tag onnthe back of his collar as he was pulled back and pushed against the wall. Nagisa hit his back with a thud,"AH!"

He winced as he looked up to see no one other then, Karma.

"Karma!?" Nagisa yelped.

Karma didn't say anything instead he place his hands against the wall almost penning Nagisa, isolating him.

"What do you want?" Nagisa forcefully asked.

Karma looked down to Nagisa's torso, and with a finger he gently touched exactly where Nagisa's injury was. Nagisa frozed.

Will he shove his finger in my injury? Rip my sticthes out? Pull my organs out? Nagisa frozed as if Karma's finger was a gun.

Karma's eyes trailed up as he stared into Nagisa's pupicl's as he said,"You wanna show me what happened?" He bluntly said.

"N..nothing man," Nagisa slapped his hand away, but accidently lenddd forwards as he felt a stitch tore, he winced as he grabbed his torso falling forwards onto his knees.

Karma signed as he place his hands in his pockets,"you're stubborn, Nagisa." He said.

"Ah~wh...what does it matter to you?" Nagisa asked with one eye closed gripping his torso.

"I was just curious," he said bending down his face in Nagisa's as he started with large eyes,"so, you wanna tell me or what?"

Nagisa frown in frustration as he looked away, slightly blushed with embrassment.

Karma pulled his head back as he cocked his head up and stared with a slight smile looking down almost waiting for Nagisa to tell.

"...I...I was stabbed...," the words excaped his lips.

Karma rosed his eyebrows as a smile displayed across his face,"...instersting,"

Nagisa stood up as his hand still place on his torso,"well...I better go," he awkwardly said as he took a step, but Karma turned to stop him,"let me see it,"

Nagisa rose an eyebrow,"why?"

"If you let me see it, perhaps I can give you my expretise," Karma said.

Nagisa looked away for a moment, do I have a choice?

Nagisa signed as he pulled up his shrit, exposing the bloody bandages.

Karma stood with his head narrowed as crossed his arms resting his mouth on his index and thumb.

"There you saw it," Nagisa pulled his shrit down as he turned a hand gently grasped his wraist.

"What?" Nagisa asked Karma, Karma gave him a grim look of general concern,"you need to go to the hospital,"

Nagisa pulled away,"I'm fine," he said.

"Nagisa please, listen to me," Karma grabbed him by his shoulder as he turned him around, "I will take you to the hospital myself if I have to,"

"Why are you acting so werid? I told you I'm fine," Nagisa said.

"If you won't go to the hospital you you let me see the wound?" Karma asked.

"Why so you can play with my guts?" Nagisa bluntly asked.

"Nagisa, please!" Karma asked with his eyes with frown with frustration.

Nagisa signed,"well, I had wrose..,"

"Lets go to the infirmary," Karma said as he lead Nagisa back in to the infirmary.

Nagisa felt rather odd. For some reason he was irritated and he felt fatigue.

Karma and Nagisa soon found themselves in the infirmary as a two school nurses talked to one another.

The first nurse was a woman with light brown hair pulled back in a simple ponytail, with white frame glasses. She had pencil pen brown eyes, with a forever smile. The second nurse was a male who was tan and his dark hair sulked back. He wore black frame glasses that expressed his large blue eyes.

The nurses both turned to the students,"Hi, can I help you?"

"They are open?" Nagisa wondered.

"The nurses and some teachers are on staff for after school activities or clubs," Karma explained.

"Oh," Nagisa said.

"Well...my friend here is the one who needs your assistance," Karma said pushing Nagisa in front of them.

The spotlight was in him when the nurses stared at him with concern,"yes?"

Nagisa looked away,"well...I...uh...well...I was...mugged by my...bully...and uh...," he gripped his torso as he pulled up his shirt,"he stambed me,"

The nurses gasped as they came to his aid,"please lay down onnthe bed," the woman said as she then took small scissors as she cut the bandages off.

Karma stood on the side of the bed, leanding over peeking as he took a look as his injury.

"Oh my," the woman said as she saw a very poorly attempt sticth wound.

"When did this happen?" The man asked.

"..uh...yesterday...at night....last night," Nagisa said.

With white gloves the woman cut the threaded stitches off as she propertly started to clean the wound,"who sticthed you up?" She asked.

"...I did," Nagisa lied.

Everyone raised an eye including Karma.

"Why didn't you go to the hospital?" The nurse asked.

"I don't like hospitales," Nagisa said, which was true.

"Oh, I understand...," the nurse said.

"Tell me son, what happen to your head?" The male nurse then asked after observing the small welt on his head along with bruising.

"...I have a bully...he likes to beat me up sometimes," Nagisa said looking down with deception.

The two nurses turned to each other after they turned to look at Nagisa,"we are gonna need to take off your clothes to examined your injuries, is that okay?"

"Take my clothes off!?" Nagisa jolted.

"Don't worry, you can still ware your undergradment," the woman said.

"Well...I guess," Nigasa turned to look at Karma who stood there with his arms crossed his head narrowed.

This is okay right? I mean, Karma and I are both guys...so I shouldn't feel embrassed...should I?

Soon the woman patched Nagisa up perfectly, and now that his sticthes where corrected, his knife wound felt a whole lot better.

Nagisa had no problem stand up and up dressing in front of everyone. Until he heard a gasped.

Nagisa standing there in his briefs, his body was completely brusied. He had brusies on brusies. Faded of yellow, with freshly pink, purple and blue to black and purple, to blue and green to back to yellow then faded to fresh tone. He had cuts over scars, and scars over scars, and in speaking of scars he had them everywhere.

"How on earth are you still standing?" The woman asked.

"Excuse me?" Nagisa question.

"Those brusies are constant injuries...you could be internally bleeding!" She said.

"Uh..," Nagisa felt uneasy.

Suddenly his watched beeped and his heart sank to his feet.

"Uh, actually I just remembered I have to go to an important meeting," Nagisa said as he picked up his shirt.

"But Nagisa," the man said,"you could be possibly be internally bleeding," he said.

"Oh I'm sure I'm fine, besides, he hasn't laid a hand on me in a while," Nagisa continued to lie with a fake smile.

Karma frowned.

"Well does your parents know about this?" She asked.

"Yes, of crouse. My mom does...she wants to press charges...and actually...just yesterday we did," Nagisa looked down, he looked back up,"he won't be bothering me any longer," that's right, mom done hung up her two by four, so technology she won't have to beat me...therefore the brusies will heal on their own.

"Okay, but if this bully comes back too torment you anymore, plus come back and see us," the woman said.

Nagisa smiled,"right," well at least this is good, I could just come here when I'm hurt.

"Well thanks again," Nagisa said.

"You're welcome, but careful," the nurses said.

"How about I walk you home, Nagisa," Karma said as he smiled cheerfully.

Nagisa froze.

"Oh how wonderful!" The nurses said.

"Men gonna stick together!" The man nurse said with an impowering fist.

Karma smiled and nodded.

Nagisa gave a quick nod just as he throw his clothes back on and darted out the door with Karma, following him.

"Bye boys, be safe!" The nurses called.

Nagisa played along but as soon as he turned around the corner he stopped in his tracks.

"You're really not gonna walk me home, are you?" Nagisa said.

"Only if you don't want me too," Karma said with his hands in his pockets.

"Whats that suppose to mean?" Nagisa quickly asked.

"I'll go, only if you don't want me too," Karma said.

"That doesn't make any sense," Nagisa roared.

"Do you want me to go?" Karma asked.

"Hell no!"

"Then I'm going," Karma said simply said.

Nagisa signed as he gave up,"fine go, I don't care,"

"Great, I'm not going," Karma bluntly said as he walked off, leaving Nagisa bewildered.

Nagisa turned and shook his head,"I don't have time for this," he said as he started to jog home.
Jogging hurted his injury but considering it was sticthdd up correctly and bandaged, it felt better then what he was dealing with.

Nagisa wasn't looking forward to going home late, he was never late.

But whatever happens, he was prepared to fight back.

Nagisa ran into the evaluator and went up to the second floor.

His stomach twisted and turn. It'll be okay, just relax.

Nagisa found himself in front of his door. He reached for the handle and prepared himself for hell. But as he turned the handle he could hear voices from inside of his apartment.

Be turned the door knobed and open the door.

"Ah, Nagisa welcome,"
