Just us and Nobody else

Chapter 4

Karma's POV:
I wake up to a loud sound of a glass bottle breaking downstairs. I sit up from my bed and pull off the covers and Stand up and Quietly walk downstairs carefully not to make any noise. I hear some inaudible loud noises coming from the kitchen. I quietly walk passed the living room and head towards the kitchen. As I get closer I start to hear the noises clearly. I peak my head around the corner of the wall. I see my parents arguing about something. I go ahead and walk into the kitchen and decide to make my presence known. "Mom.. Dad?" They both stop what their doing and turn their Heads towards The sound of my voice and look down at me. "Karma? Why are you awake..?" My Mother Asks me. "I heard yelling" I say looking at them. "Oh I'm so sorry dear.. why don't I go put you back to bed alright?" She says to me ruffling my hair. I nod at her and run back upstairs to my bedroom.
(End of Karma's POV>:) My turn)

"If you came home at a reasonable time this wouldn't have happened!"

"I was busy at work Don't You see how important that is?!"

"You missed our son's Birthday! You could have just called in!"
"This was our one time we were off work to spend some time with Karma but you completely blew it for him!"

"Well I'm sorry that I work my Ass off for us to live here and provide food while you sit at home and babysit Karma instead of working, he is capable of staying home alone!!"

"He's only Seven! I can't believe I am married to a guy like you!"

"Excuse me? what the hell did you just say?" He said Getting closer to her and grabbing her wrist Harshly and pulling her close to him.

"Be glad I haven't thrown you out on the streets yet-"
He gets interrupted by a certain little red head.
"Dad?.. w-what are you doing" Karma says frightened.
"Karma?.." Karma's dad lets go of her wrist and looks over towards Karma. "Didn't we tell you to go back to bed?" Karma's dad walks closer to him. Karma quickly runs out of the kitchen and back upstairs slamming his door shut.

"Wait! Karma Come back!" Karma's dad shouted and quickly runs upstairs to Karma's bedroom and tries opening the door but it's locked from the inside. "Karma! Please open the door!"
Karma Hides in his closet knees up to his chest, his blanket around him with his eyes shut. tears start pouring down his face and he starts shaking with fear.

Karma's POV:
Please.. make it stop.. Please...
I shoot up from my bed. "Please Make it stop!!" I shout Panting.. and out of breath. tears streamed down my face.
My door Immediately slams open. "Karma! Are you okay?!"
I quickly hide my face with my hands Shaking in fear.
"Karma?... what's wrong?.." I move my hands out of my face and only see Asano. I start to catch my breath. "Oh its just you. Nothing is wrong go back to bed." I wipe my tears and lay back down and face away from him. "you really think I'll believe that? come on tell me what's wrong" I feel the bed dip down. Assuming he sat down on the edge of my bed.

"it was just a bad dream just go away." I feel hands wrap around my waist. "Hey! what the hell do you think you are doing?!" I yell at him and try prying his arms off but he doesn't let go. "it's okay Karma I won't judge you if that's what you're worried about."

I take a deep breath and tell Asano what happenedin my dream. "It.. was after My birthday.. I just turned Seven.. and My parents were arguing like they always do.."

"What we're they arguing about?" Asano says to me from behind. "Mainly taking care of the family.. and Me. My Father works everyday and never has time to spend time with me and my mother.. she always had to work every do but when she got off early she would spend so much time with me as she could.." I sigh as ai finish speaking. "Karma?" I turn my head over to Asano Inches Away from his. I look into his eyes while tears start to stream down My face.

Asano wipes My tears with his hand. "Don't cry.. it's alright"
"They.. t-they probably g-got divorced b-because of me.."
He pulls me into his chest and hugs me. "I'm sure that isn't true.." Asano says. "If I wasn't even alive they wouldn't have gotten divorce and they would still be!-"

"Shut up!" Asano Yells cutting me off. "Don't you dare say that! if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have made it this far!"
"damn it Akabane If anything you deserve so much then what you have, If it weren't for you we wouldn't have any reason that we we're Rivals You know that?.. And I don't mind at all I always love a good Challenge.. And I may not look it or act like it but I care for you.

"Tsk.. heh..." I interrupt him. "Huh? w-whats the matter?" He asks me with concern. I take his arms off me and sit up and start laughing "Haha! Asano the son of the Principal of Kunugigaoka and part of big 5 is caring?" I keep laughing "Never have I ever thought I'd get to see this side of you."

"Hey! I was worried, fine maybe I should take all those Thing I said about you back."
Asano said Also sitting up and punching me in the arm.

"I mean never have I ever thought I would get to see this side of you Akabane... you usually are some cold careless bastard in some people's eyes but to me in my eyes just a few seconds ago you were like a scared little kitten who's afraid of thunder crying in my arms."
My whole face turns red and I Blush red with embarrassment
"H-hey! Shut up will you?!" I grab my pillow and slam it into his face. "Agh!..- ahahah!" I hear him grunt and then soon laugh afterwards. I start laughing and got interrupted with a pillow making direct contact with my face. The pillow falls into my lap and we both laugh at eachother and begin throwing Pillows At eachother having a little pillow fight. Never in my life would I thought I would have so much fun having a Pillow fight with My ri- ex rival.

It's like two middle-aged school girls at a sleepover But it wasn't the same Asano and I.. Two complete opposites hanging out with eachother while the world has gone to shit.. and is probably slowly dying. For once I actually hope this never ends.. I enjoy this.
"Thank you Asano" I smile at him.
