(KarmaxNagisa) 'til The End

Chapter 10: Gun & Dagger

Nagisa's heart pounded after he heard Karma's words just now. His mouth was stuck and his body was trembling in sudden.

"What do you you mean, Karma-kun?" He forced himself to ask though his lips were heavy.

Karma stood bolt upright, "you already know that my brother is my only family and he's responsible of me fully..." He glanced at Nagisa, "I haven't told you that my brother is.... The general in chief of this city...." He smiled, "I help him to check all the data about this city sometimes, so I know all the residents here.... Even if the chocker wearers can remove their chockers, they can't fool me, because their data is already here..." He touched his head, "and...... People without chocker from young to old are allowed to kill the chockers as they like.... Anytime...."

Nagisa gulped and he couldn't shift his sight from Karma.

"Well... It's not like this is my first time in killing someone...." Karma stretched his arms, "that ugly gorilla was my.......... Eh? Ah~ I forgot the numbers of my preys....." He rubbed his head then clapped his hands with a wink, "sorry, Nagisa-kun.... I don't remember it...." He sighed lightly, "then... About the dress..... Because my brother's men are patrolling randomly, I'm afraid if one of them saw you in male clothes and tell something bad about you to my brother..... I bet, they already know you since our first date back then...."

Nagisa blushed, "do... Don't remind me about that!!!"

Karma grinned, "that's why you cannot use the male clothes, Na..gi..sa..kun..." He teased Nagisa by poking his cheek.

"Ugh...." Nagisa depressed.

Karma shouldn't worry about Nagisa's appearance, and even if he's in male clothes, no one would see him as a boy. According to Karma's explanations then, Nagisa could guess about how did he know about that last incident's location. He thought that it might be one of his brother's men told him about that.

"Say... Nagisa-kun.... I think about something...." Said Karma as he slurped a cup of tea.

They had finished their breakfast, but still didn't move from the dinning room. Karma furrowed his eyebrows and looked serious about what he wanted to do after this. Then he walked away in silence, took something from the drawers in the living room and put it on the dinning table, in front of Nagisa. It was a medium silver briefcase and seemed like it was so private, but Karma opened it with no doubt and made Nagisa startled. There were guns and a dagger in it. He handed the dagger to Nagisa while he took one of the guns.

"i... Is this for me, Karma-kun?" Nagisa confused.

"Yeah... It will fit you...." Karma played with the gun in his hand.

"But... What for?"

"I think.... I need to train you some tricks to defend yourself...." Karma aimed the gun at Nagisa, "don't forget that there are more than one attackers and they can ambush you anytime..."

"Me?? With this??" Nagisa doubted himself.

"You can take the other gun also if you want.... I think you should have at least 2 weapons since you are a bully magnet for the thugs out there..." Said Karma lightly with a smirk on his face.

Nagisa threw a cynical stare to Karma, "can you use another better terms instead of that tickling words?" He sighed.

Nagisa wasn't sure he could do that and he didn't even know about how to fight. That day, after Karma gave some short explanations to Nagisa, he asked Nagisa to stay at home while he's out. Nagisa's always wondering where did he go and what was he doing out there? He didn't have a chance to ask him about this, but even he had the chance one day, he's not sure could release a single word. Karma let Nagisa wearing the male clothes only if he's being locked down at home. He could only see the out side from the balcony. He sat down on the comfy indoor bench, gazing out of the sky with a glass of warm chamomile tea in his hands. The smell of the chamomile tea was so relaxing and the sweet taste could calm his heart and mind.

"It's been 2 days...." Nagisa muttered, "where's he?? hmm.... May be he's helping his brother again..."

He glanced at the gun and the dagger on the coffee table in the living room. He hadn't touched them and didn't practice by himself because he needed a partner; at least he needed someone to be attacked. Suddenly, he heard a siren in the distance then some people were out from their house, gathering together and discussing something. They looked worry and Nagisa could do nothing but watching it from the balcony and hoping that Karma wasn't involved.

"Karma-kun...." He muttered.
