Reunion
March 13. 5 years since I killed him. It still haunts me. However, I've got other things on my mind. Like the first reunion of E class since we graduated! I'm currently fixing my tie to go with my (as always!) waistcoat.
"Not gonna wear a dress?" A certain red head appears at the door. "Ha ha. Very funny, Karma." I reply, a straight face, conjuring up in my mind many different ways of how I could kill him. I'd never do it of course, but it gives me some, well, karma. "I'm serious!" He states walking over looking stunning in a suit. He wraps his arms around my waist and whispers in my ear, "for me?" The sentence sends a shudder through me and my face gains a new member, blush. "NO." I glare, finishing my tie with a flourish. As we exit the apartment I swore I could of heard him mutter, "Party pooper."
How did we end up sharing a apartment? On the last day of junior high, Karma was asking if anyone would care to share a two bedroom apartment with him. Everyone was pairing off to live with friends. Me? I was still staying with mum. Nakamura had already said yes to Kayano. So, without his partner in crime, Karma had set out to find someone. No one took him up on the offer though, they either already accepted someone else or didn't want to share with the Red Devil and wake up with who knows what done to them.
*Flashback*
"Hey Nagisa!" My red head crush approached my desk.
"Karma." I deadpan replied. What does he want?
"Don't sound so depressed!" He poked my cheek, causing me to lightly blush.
"What's up, Karma?" I plaster a smile on my face. I don't have time for his teasing right now, after what happened last night...
"I was, um, wondering if you would mind sharing an apartment with me?" He looks so hopeful.
"I can't. I'm sorry Karma, I would love to, but my parents are getting back together and they would want me to be their son still." I prop my arm up and place my hand on the side of my face in a fist. "Oh. I see." His expression turns to one of sadness.
"I'm really sorry, Karma." My eyes flutter downwards.
"It's ok!" It's his turn to give me a fake smile. He puts a slip of paper on the desk. "If you change your mind." He then walks off to ask others.
When I get home, I still feel terrible. My mum is waiting for me when I do. "Hi sweetie!" She beams at me.
"Hey mum."
"So... is my boy going to tell me more about his crush?" Boy?
"Mum... boy?" I raise my eyebrows.
"Yes. Of course you're a boy sweetie. I should know what gender my kid is." I nod. This hasn't really happened before. It's always 'she' 'her' 'daughter', 'girl'. NOT 'he' 'him' 'son', 'boy'.
"Um... Ok." I sit down. It's like I'm about to be interrogated. She's the police, I'm the prisoner. There's no escape now. "So what did you say their name was?"
"Karma."
"Not a very girlish name Nagisa." She glancing at me, her eyebrows in a downward tilt. She's frowning.
"T-that's because he's not a girl mum. You've met K-karma."
She immediately stands up, rushes across and-
Slap!
Hits me. Right across my face.
"How DARE you! How dare you be gay!" She's punching me repeatedly. One in my chest, one in my arm, another in my face. Brilliant, as if my life couldn't get any worse. Oh wait, it can.
She grabs me by the scruff of my neck and flings me outside. "Don't ever come back again you scum!" I'm bleeding, bleeding and sobbing. Struggling, I try stand up. My leg is throbbing, causing me agony. The only hope for me now is...
Karma's POV
Alone. That's how I ended up in my apartment. I knew Rio was going with Kayano ages ago. No, my sights were set on a certain androgynous guy. Nagisa Shiota. A cute, sweet, innocent cinnamon roll. And beneath that facade? An assassin.
I'm just moving boxes into one of the two bedrooms as I hear a knock on the door. Striding over to it, nothing can prepare me for Nagisa himself falling on to the floor, blood pouring out of many places.
I haul him up on a bed. Damn, the kid doesn't weigh much! He's a girl all the way. Examining his wounds, I come to the conclusion that I need to treat them. And to treat some, I would need to strip him... oh God.
Once the deed is done, I dab dettol on the worst of them, cleaning them out. I then apply couple of plasters and a bandage here and there. The thought of how he ended up like this crosses my mind but I push it away. I have to deal with stopping the bleeding at the current time. After that's done, I wet a towel and set it down on his forehead. This earns a groan and him sitting up.
"What the?" He looks absolutely terrified. Don't blame the guy, after what he's been through recently.
"It's ok. You're ok." I reassure him.
"Karma?" He squints. His vision must be bad through that black eye. There's a red mark across his face. "The one and only!" I joke.
"I'm sorry."
"For what? I'm just glad you're alive! What happened?" I fling my arms out.
He then proceeds to tell me what went down. Apparently, his mum finally acknowledged his true gender but flipped out when she realised he was gay. Hmm... that makes the both of us. Gay I mean. "This was her work?" He nods.
This is mental. She's mental. For goodness sake! This is child abuse! Well, she's disowned him so I guess it isn't really her problem anymore. "And how will your father react about this?" He sighs. "The same. He's homophobic too." People these days! Not excepting us different LGBTQ humans. We're different than you, get over it already! However, I'm not about to come out of the closet to Nagisa of all people though. The very reason I'm gay. I mean, straight - most definitely straight. Cuz Nagi's a girl. Even in my head I'm teasing the poor dude. I really shouldn't. Blame that woman.
"Well. I invited you earlier and I'm not going back on that." This is my chance to be nice for a change. He looks up at me, "Really? You mean that?"
"Of course! I'm not going to let my best friend live on the streets!" He embraces me, "Thank you! Thank you so much!"
"It's nothing really!"
"Oh and Karma? Why am I half naked? You trying to force me into a dress?" He looks at me slyly. I go a deep crimson, "N-no! I was just treating your wounds!" I stutter while he laughs his head off.
*End of Flashback*
That's how me and the Red Devil ended up living together. It's been a rollercoaster of emotions since then. Happiness, sadness, love (from me!), you name it. Now we are going to reunite with our old Junior High mates.
We arrive at the venue, soft music sweeping through and swerving around our ears. "Is that you Karma? Nagisa?" Yuma Isogai, class president as always, rushes up closely followed by Hiroto Maehara. "Yup. Sadly this one here wouldn't wear a dress." This earns him a swift glare from me. He can be such a pain sometimes. "Awwwww Nagisa! Why?!" Nakamura approaches. She and Karma, ever since they graduated, have been on a first name basis. For me though, me calling her Nakamura still stands. She and Karma hive five, miniature devil horns appearing around him. This is going to be torture. Yes, emphasis on the torture part. Wish me luck! (Because I'm going to need it.)
We enter. Everyone seems to be here which is great. There's even Mr Karasuma and Irina! (I'm not going to be rude anymore. None of us are.) (A/N that and I don't use swear words in any of my books. Any.) The one person I don't recognise is a woman with waist length ash brown hair and sporting a red dress. I walk up to her, "Hey. Sorry but you're the only one here who I don't recognise." She blinks slightly, tilting her head a bit, "Nagisa?" Her voice...
"Kayano?" We nod in unison. Afterwards we throw our arms around each other. "Oh my God! I totally didn't know who you were without your green hair!"
"Ha. Speaking of changing hair, I notice yours is shoulder length." She's right. I cut my hair into a bob at some point but (me being used to how it was) I started growing it back again. "Yeah. I'm growing it back to the length it used to be." She grins.
"Hey how about we hang out the rest of the night? Us shorties have got to stick together!"
The party was entering it's climax. Everyone seemed to loom over me and Kayano, especially Karma. "Alright can I have everyone's attention?" Karasuma turned down the music. "First of all, thank you for all coming to 3-E's renunion. Now I would just like to present this. I'm sorry if I'm about to kill the mood." He produces a black case. "Mr Karasuma? What's that?" Isogai points forward. Karasuma frowns (as usual) and opens it. The case reveals a standard, slightly dusty, anti-Koro Sensei knife. "A knife?" Karma mocks, "Why on earth would that put us down?"
"This isn't a normal knife. This is it. The knife." And with those words... everyone stops what they are currently doing, some have tears in their eyes - I'm one of them. That knife... I had hoped to never see it again. The knife that ended my teacher's life. The knife I used to end his life. "I- I felt like I needed to give it back to you."
"And why do you think we would want that thing?! You think we want to be reminded that we killed him?! That I killed him?!" I'm shouting. The tears leaving marks on my cheeks, fall on the floor wetting it with our sorrows. These tears represent so much. His death affected all of us, even Karma. I sometimes wake up to find him, sitting up in the bed in his room, sobbing. He's been plagued with nightmares ever since it happened, to think that even he's reacting like that, someone as strong and carefree as him, breaks you. It makes you imagine how someone else has reacted. Well... you don't have to imagine if you're me, you know what it's like. Never being able to look at octopus (even tearing up if you see it), constant nightmares and flashbacks, knowing that his blood is on your hands and that you will be forever branded a killer and a muderer.
"Nagisa. You are going to have to face this object eventually. Sooner or later it will happen. What if it was the last weapon on earth and it was a matter of life or death? Would you suck it up and touch it then? Or would you freeze up and possibly end up losing your life and the things you hold dear?" Karasuma looked straight forward into my eyes. Damn. That guy is convincing! "I suppose you have a point there. I'll do it." The words rushed out before I had any time to think about what I was just signing on for. Karasuma holds out the case, ending up with my hands right by the knife. My fingers swiftly fly up and brush it's handle.
That's when it happens.
Searing pain goes right from the roots of my hair and into my scalp, possibly touching my brain. Everything around me goes dark, I can hear people crying out and a scream, my scream. Then... nothing. Until the memories pierce through each more painful than the one before it.
"I will indeed destroy the earth but first, I'll be your teacher."
"Whatever you choose, above all else be determined."
"Don't give frustration the last word. Never forget: when the moment calls for a decisive strike, you are an assassin."
"Goodbye, Koro Sensei." "Yes, goodbye."
I slowly awake to find Karma's face hovering above mine. As soon as he sees me open my eyes he gives me a bone crushing hug. "Thank God you're ok!" I'm slowly regaining all my senses and the real good news is that the splitting headache has vanished. "Karma - can't - breathe." I struggle.
"Oh sorry."
"What just happened?" Isogai looks down at me. It seems as if I'm lying on the floor. "I don't know. When I touched the knife, it was agony."
What knife? Where is this? I'm supposed to be dead! What sort of after life is this?
-What the?
"Did you guys just hear something?" I question, glancing around, wondering where the voice was coming from.
"No." Karma replies, "Didn't hear anything." The others agree with him.
-Oh great, I'm going crazy. Now I'm hearing things!
No you're not. I exist. I might as well introduce myself. I used to live on this earth up to 5 years ago when I was killed by one of my students.
-That voice...
Koro Sensei?
Yes. Now who are you?
-Nagisa. Nagisa Shiota. What the heck is going on?!
That was it. My life would never be the same again. Well, that already had happened but still. This would change everything. My physical appearance, my mental state (well, duh. I'm hearing my dead teacher!) and my relationships with those around me.
