Blood and Roses (Karma Akabane)

Chapter 11 Part 2-End of Terms

- Welcome! I didn't know my parents were friends with the Akabane! It's a pleasure to meet you!

Your p.o.v

- It's a pleasure to meet you too, M.Akabane says.

- You look exactly like your mother, Miss. Akabane looked at me happily.

I smile and then M. Akabane ask me something:

- How did you know we were the Akabane? I don't think any of us presented themselves.

- Actually, I'm in the same class as Karma. He was living with me for the past three weeks too.

- Oh, I see. So you are a failure too, Miss Akabane says sadly.

- Excuse me? I don't think I heard you well. You think I am a failure?

- Well, yes. You are in the same class as Karma. That means you are horrible at school because his class is the end class, M. Akabane answered.

I look shocked by their answer and look at Karma to see him looking away.

- How dare you even call your kid a failure! If he is bad it's because you aren't able to take good care of him. Even like that, he is much better than you. At least he doesn't insult someone in the middle of their house. Karma, you are going to live with me! And if I see one of you two near my house again, I won't hesitate to end your life definitely!

The two adults look at each other and laugh at me.

- You think a small girl like you can kill us, M. Akabane asks, still laughing.

I smile darkly and let my eyes turn red.

- I don't hesitate to kill anyone who is insulting my friends. I don't think you want to discover what happens to my enemies now, do you?

Both of them look me in the eyes, they look surprised and scared at the same time. Seeing the blood color, they get out and get back in their red car. I sign and calm myself down to regain my colored view.

- Do you want me to kill them? You only have to say a word and I would go get them, and declare to Karma.

- No, it's okay. I should thank you.

- For what I didn't do anything. They were wrong. You aren't bad, you are perfect just the way you are, I put my hand on his shoulder and approach myself from him. Looking at his eyes once again, I feel like I want to kiss him, feel his lips on mine in a loving kiss. But I can't. What if he doesn't like me back? What if he is going to find me strange and then leave my house to go live with Nagisa? I want him to stay by my side forever.

I back up from him and go to my office. I spent five hours sitting at my desk and looking at the way I could change my HQ's place. I was so into my work that I didn't notice Karma standing in the doorway.

- Do you want to eat something? It's almost lunch time and you still didn't take a break from your work.

- I'm not sure, I want to finish this project the fastest way possible. Even though it will take me at least a week.

- Okay, then I'm sure you can take a small break and come eat with me.

- But . . .

- Don't even try to argue with me, you are coming and that's all!

I sign and get up. We get down and I see all my favorite foods

- You did all that?

- Yes, take it as my thank you for your hospitality.
