❤Karma x Nagisa 💙 Happily Never After

Chapter 8: Surprises

Nagisa woke up outside on his doorstep, not remembering what had happened and why was he here. Then it hit him. He and a redhead, Karma, had have— never mind, he was too embarrassed to think about it. He stood up and went inside, with his aching hip and two people secretly watching him from behind.

The house sounds empty... weird. The house was always full of shouting or other sounds. 'Oh well, I like it more this way anyways' Nagisa shrugged and started cleaning the house, again. When he reached Okuda's room, he silently opened it so that the evil witch won't know he was there. But she was doing something, Nagisa couldn't tell so he came a little closer to the witch.

"Magic mirror on the wall, who's the most beautiful of them all?" Okuda asked the mirror in front of her. "You are, miss Okuda Manami." The mirror replied to the witch. She smiled a satisfied smile and headed of to her daughters's room.

Nagisa approached the mirror quietly so that it won't notice him. "What are you doing here, young fella?" The mirror asked and Nagisa jumped a little. "I'm sorry, did I bother you?" The mirror chuckled at his words. "Why would you feel like you're bothering me? I was lonely here, with only that witch for company, and she only asked me who's the fairest of them all." Nagisa sighed. "Oh, but if I may ask, who are you and what's your name?"

"I am the mirror of truth and knowledge and you can call me Koro." The mirror replied, showing a yellow smiling face in the process. "Now ask me anything you want to know, anything if possible."

Nagisa thought about the request made by the yellow face inside the mirror. Then he remembered something important. "Can you tell me about a shape-shifter named Karma?" He asked.

"Ah yes, shape-shifter Karma Akabane. He's also a young prince of the kingdom you're in, too. He's 25 years old and I believed he attended the party when you were born. He and some of the guests at that party tried to protect you from Okuda the evil witch. Okuda and Karma were once friends, and she had a crush on him that lasted until now. Oh and fun fact, he and his friend are spying on you right now!"

"What?!?" Nagisa nearly shouted when hearing the last part and looked out of the window near there. Sure enough, there was a lock of bright red hair, peeking out from one of the bushes. Nagisa sighed a little and turned back to the mirror. "Thank you Koro!" He smiled. "With pleasure, Nagisa Shiota!" And with that the yellow face disappeared.

After Nagisa had done cleaning up the house, he went outside to take care of the garden. Nagisa grew the flowers himself, with red and blue roses. As he was watering the flowers, there was a soft sound behind him. It was a small, red cat that looked very suspicious to the bluenette. He stared at the cat, the cat stared back at him. Then Nagisa just decided to keep on watering the roses, ignoring the cat behind him.

"Oi, that's not a good way to treat a friend!" The cat finally spoke up and transformed into a handsome boy. "What do you want from me?" The small bluenette pouted at the grinning redhead. "Ummm nice to see you too?" Karma answered doubtfully. "Anyways, from the chat that you have had with that mirror thing up there, I guess you know that you are in my kingdom, right?"

"Wait how did you know th— never mind and yeah I know I'm in your domain, literally." Nagisa replied, still pouting and blushing a little too. "Cool! So that means that you can come to my ball, right?" Karma smirked. "Uhhhh sure..." Nagisa replied shortly.

Karma smiled and pulled Nagisa in for a hug and a quick peck on the lips. "See you soon, blueberry!" The redhead called out as he disappeared into the woods leaving Nagisa, still surprised by the sudden kiss, alone to take care of the garden.

"Karma, wait!" Nagisa called out into the woods and a red wolf came out to meet him. "Here, this is for you." Nagisa said and handed the wolf a blue rose. Th wolf turned into a boy and kissed the bluenette again. Nagisa smiled and watched the wolf ran away into the woods with the blue rose he gave him. "Bakarma!" Nagisa said quietly to himself as he smiled and continued to take care of this garden. "I heard that!" Karma yelled back.
