The Lost Shadow (Sequel to: The Lilac Shadow, a Karma x OC fanfic)

Chapter 2: Pain

So yeah! I am back once again! Sorry for not updating. Honestly, it's just my grades, but it will affect my whole overall and not be able to go to university. But that is not an excuse, I know.

I will try my best to upload faster, but I am not certain because I can't use the computer, I can't write in my phone, and my iPad was taken away because of...you know, stupid grades.

Honestly though, why do I have to learn Chinese grammar? It doesn't exactly help anything.

=======================================

Third Person's POV

"So what you are saying right now is, Aira came back, with only memories of the start of last year and none about Karma?" Fuwa say out loud, and Kayano nods in confirmation.

After Karma had calmed down, Kayano called everyone over, and even Terasaka even bothered to come, but maybe he is just there for the food.

"I-I think it is selective amnesia." Okuda stammers slightly, catching everyone's attention. "Selective amnesia?" Yada repeats in confusion.

"Yes. It is where someone loses certain parts of their memory, and the most common ones are their relationships and traumatic events. But how her memories can be altered into something else is a mystery." Takebayashi explains, pushing up his glasses.

"I bet it has something to do with her trip to America. Karma, did you ask what happened?" Chiba questions.

"She wouldn't answer them anyway. I am now just a...stranger to her. Just some guy whom she doesn't know from her class." He replies, pushing back his hair.

"Then why did she give you answers about the E Class?" Rinka asks.

"I guess it is because she figures that since I know about you guys and Koro-sensei, she might as well just say some obvious things she 'remembered'." Karma sighs. "But I don't think she will say anything else."

Suddenly, Kurahashi jumps up, grinning. "Then, Karma-kun, why don't you just approach her the way you did like last year and bring her to us? We can try to make her remember something, and maybe sooner or later, everything!"

After a few seconds, everyone agrees, leaving the red head still considering. "Karma, it's worth a try." Nagisa urges, worry in his eyes. "...fine. If it works, but she still doesn't remember who I am, let me tell her that." Karma orders, and they all nodded.

"Then I am going now. School should be over soon, and if I don't hurry up, she will be gone already." He continues, standing up and rushes out.

Aira's POV

When the last bell rings, I stand up and pack my bag, leaving the classroom silently. I can feel everyone's curious gazes upon me, but then it should be quite normal for a transfer student to appear after a month, right?

Oh, well. "U-um, Murasakino-san?" Someone stammers, and I look behind me, smiling slightly at the black-haired boy.

"You can just call me Aira. You are..." I trail off, even though I know who he is already. His whole character seems to change all of a sudden, a bright, warm smile on his face. "I am Shimizu Sho! You can call me Sho-chan, Ai. Ra. Chan!" He grins, shocking me.

Blushing slightly, I continue walking. "Aira-chan, did you know who Kar-kun is?" He asks, bouncing forward.

Even though he is about 5 cm taller than me, he acts like a kid. "Kar-kun? Do you mean Karma-kun?" I repeat, laughing slightly at the nickname.

"Yup!"

"I only met him today, but..." I cut off, stumbling slightly when the energy in my legs suddenly dissipated. Sho quickly takes ahold of my arm, supporting me.
