I Will Win You Back(Completed)

34

Gakushū, Karma, and Natsuki sat opposite Kagami and his new family.

Gakushū looked over at the little red haired girl, Karma's half sister. She looked like Karma's female version, except with blue eyes. When she caught Gakushū looking at her, she flashed him a shy smile.

Karma and him were holding hands under the table, Natsuki noticed this, and had to bite the inside of her cheek to stop herself from smiling.

"So, I'm sure everyone else in this table, like me, just really want this painful meet up to be over and done with" Karma started. "So tell me what the fu--OUCH! What was that for Shū?!"

"There's a child present Karma! Watch your tongue" Gakushū scolded.

Karma glared at Gakushū, Gakushū glared right back. Then eventually Karma gave in and sighed heavily. "Fine"

Natsuki had to cover her mouth with a drink. Really those two are just perfect for each other.

"What do you want Kagami? Just say it because you always want something, and don't say you're just in the damn--Owe! owe! owe! Gakushū!"

"Karma" Gakushū gave him a warning tone as he pinched Karma's side harder.

"Don't say you're just in the country for a visit" Karma swatted Gakushū's hand off him.

"I know I haven't been the best father to you, Karma. Or a good husband" Kagami began.

Gakushū couldn't help but snort at this. Realizing what he did, he covered his mouth and pretended to cough.

Kagami glared at him. "Are you done? May I continue now?"

"Kagami he didn't mean that" both Natsuki and Kagami's new wife said. The women looked at each other, before awkwardly looking away.

"This is really uncomfortable" Karma whispered to Gakushū.

Poor Chiyo was looking confused and miserable.

"I don't know how else to say this, but Karma-" Kagami continued.

"I'm sick, I'm going to die" Chiyo spoke up.

"Chiyo!" Her mother hushed her. "Y-you're not going to die sweetie, I won't let you!" She promised. Chiyo just quietly looked down at her hands. "Mo-"

"What's wrong with her?" Karma looked at Kagami.

"Chiyo has BMD" Kagami revealed. "And we need to do a transplant but-"

"-But neither you or--" Gakushū looked at Kagami's new wife. "I-I'm Layla" the woman said. "Right, neither you nor miss Layla are a match, and you think-"

"You think Karma could be a possible donor" Natsuki finished.

"I don't understand this" Karma said.

"Chiyo had bone marrow disorder, and no one in the family are a match" Layla looked close to crying. "But, Kagami thinks that maybe...there is a chance you could possibly-"

"Karma, Chiyo has a disease. One that needs a transplant soon because if she doesn't get one her disease could be fatal-" --Gakushū

"And you all think I can save her?" --Karma

"Yes" --Layla and Kagami

Karma gave a cold laugh. "No way" he chuckled humorlessly.

"Karma be mature for once in your--!" Kagami started angrily, but Natsuki cut him off.

"Do not finish that" Natsuki hissed. "Karma is a grown man. A grown, mature, kind, compassionate, loving man. I made sure of that" the brunette turned to face Layla, who was cradling her daughter. "I'm afraid we'll have to get back to you on this" she said.

"We understand" Layla reached for her pocket. "Here's my business card"

"Layla, I'm sorry about Chiyo, I really am" Natsuki gave Layla a sincere smile. "I know what it's like to fear for your child's health, their life. Scared that today or tomorrow could be your last day with them"

"What am I supposed to do Gakushū?" Karma paced infront of Gakushū.

The two are at the park, by the docks at the lake.

"The right thing" Gakushū said simply.

Karma ran his fingers through his hair frustratedly. "He's a fucking bastard! Why does he have to spring this on me?! I have my own problems to deal with!" The red head kicked a pebble.

"Karma, your half sister is dying "

"I'm angry!"

"At your father? Or at Chiyo?"

"Both--Chiyo--No, Kagami. Definitely Kagami" Karma dropped to his knees and covered his face with his hands. "My life gets shittier and shitter everyday"

Gakushū went to kneel beside his red head and kissed the top of his head. "Wait, I forgot. There's one thing that makes it less shitty" Karma remembered, as Gakushū pulled him to his chest.

"Oh yeah? And that would be?"

"You" Karma admitted.

Gakushū kissed Karma's cheek, and then moved to his lips.

"Thanks, by the way. If you hadn't pulled me to the bathroom and kissed me. Who knows what I would have done"

Gakushū leant to kiss the red head again, but then...

Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep beep!

Karma roughly pushed Gakushū away and ran back to his car. "Karma!" Gakushū called after him, but the red head didn't turn back.
