"Ne Mizuki, c'mere" Rio waved her hand, gaining her attention. She looked over and watched as the blonde patted the empty seat next to her.
Deciding to oblige with her simple request. Walking over, taking off her katana from her waist, she sat next to Rio, weapon between her legs.
"Yes?"
"How come you have so many weapons?"
"Just" She shrugged, "Why do you ask so many questions?"
Emiko smirked when she gained no answer from the girl.
"Tsk. Lighten up loser"
"So you are able to joke" She teased, to which Emiko scoffed.
"I may act like an asshole but that doesn't mean I don't have emotions, I just don't show them"
"I see"
It went silent for a few moments before Rio spoke up again
"Hey, Mizuki"
"Hm?"
Rio leaned toward her and whispered, "Why don't you sit with Karma?"
"What for?"
"He seems lonely"
"So you go sit with him"
"But I'd probably just make him annoyed"
"So I should?"
"Yep, you have this calming feeling, so he won't get annoyed with you"
"You said you wouldn't annoy me after yesterday. Do I need to give you a reminder?"
"You don't want to hurt me. Admit it~" She teased, to which Emiko scowled
"Tch. If I wanted you'd be dead," At her words, Rio sweatdropped, she smirked under her mask. "Give me a better reason"
"Just do it. You'll thank me later~" She raised a brow, completely unamused
"Nakamura" She warned
"Gomen gomen," She said, putting her hands together. "Please? I'll be less annoying. All you have to do is strike up a conversation with him, and I'll be out of your hair"
She sighed, "You're lucky I had to speak with him either way" She muttered, getting up from her seat and making her way over to the isolated redhead.
"Seat taken, Strawberry?" upon hearing his lovely nickname, he nodded, seeing no need to look at her when he knew who it was.
"All yours"
She silently sat down beside him.
"Thought you didn't have any friends" He teased lightly
"Funny" She rolled her eyes.
Then it was quiet for a few moments.
"The day the girls were kidnapped" She started, quickly earning his attention again. "When I lost my reason for a moment, and licked my dagger. You— didn't see my face, did you?" She questioned.
"Is that why you came to speak to me?" He asked. He sighed when he received no response, "No I didn't see. I only saw your face covered in blood, otherwise no" She nodded at his answer
"I see," She mumbled said, "That was all" then, as she was about to get up from her seat, something popped into her brain and she stopped. "You're the strongest person in the class, right?" He nodded. "Tomorrow lunch. I want you to meet me by the tree"
"Is that a confession?" Karma teased
"I don't have the time for love, Strawberry. I'm telling you to meet for a hand-to-hand fight, I can tell you're strong, you just need to refine your moves" It was a simple explanation. He nodded, processing the information. She studied his face carefully as she spoke, noticing a hint of sadness before he quickly masked his expression
"Why are you sad?" She asked
"Nani?" Karma answered with his own question
I leaned in closer to him. "You're sad. Naze?" I questioned again
"I'm not" He denied, leaning back slightly
"I've spent many years in my line of work, and I've met many people. I think I'm more than capable of telling what emotion someone's feeling" She didn't budge
"I'm not sad," He denied again. "I-" He started but cut himself off when they both heard giggles. Snapping their necks to the right, they saw the girls giggling while facing them. Emiko instantly backed away from him
"Ne. Karma, I didn't know you'd be in a relationship-" One of them started but she cut them off when she stood abruptly and looked down at Karma
"Tomorrow lunch. Don't forget" She reminded before facing the girls. "I thought I said I didn't have time for that" She grumbled, walking toward them
Karma PoV
I feel like my cheeks are burning.
'Why did she have to get so close?' I thought, trying to cool my face as I stared out of the window again.
'But her tone, it was softer than it usually is. I know that for a fact after hearing her tone as she walked to the girls. But why was it softer with me than them?'
I shook my head
'Whatever, I'm thinking too much. But when she did come closer she smelt like peppermint. Oh god'
"What the hell is wrong with me?" I whispered to myself quietly, looking out of the window again
'I'm definitely going crazy...'
