(KarmaxNagisa) 'til The End

Chapter 13: "....why?"

Nothing's happened after Karma pressed the trigger. He took a deep breath then released it slowly.

"Looks like you're a blessed child who's surrounded by fortunes...." Karma threw his gun then took a seat.

They were just staring at each other and the tense atmosphere was covering them. Nagisa could hear his heartbeat pounded loudly. He thought if he could ask him why did he want to kill him, but he wasn't sure and the only words that flew out from his mouth was just this one.

"Karma-kun..... Why?" Nagisa said dejectedly.

Karma sighed, "it's a bit different with the special circumstances I told you back then... The government gave the left overs of the other clans a chance to live as slaves indeed..... But not for the Blue survivors...." He leaned, "for all the Blue survivors, we had been ordered to erase all of their existence...."

"I see...." Nagisa said flatly-seemed that he wasn't surprise with what Karma said just now, "...but how do you know that I'm the Blue?"

Karma chuckled then looked at Nagisa deeply, ".....it......because........you are___"

Karma couldn't finish his words because of the disruptive sound of an explosion from the out side, near the apartment where they live; it's also followed by a short big tremor.

"So, they're here already...." Karma muttered.

"What do you mean, Karma-kun? Who are 'they'?" Nagisa confused.

"The rebellions..."

That was the last words Nagisa could hear from Karma before he blacked out because of the ceilings broke down upon him. He could hear Karma's voice vaguely for seconds, calling his name again and again until he lost his consciousness totally.

Soon, Nagisa heard someone was talking near him. Even without opening his eyes, he was sure that it was a girl's voice. She murmured something to someone else. Slowly, he could hear the voice clearly and he knew this girl. For some reason, a warmth wrapped his heart as he heard her voice. The only person who always took care of him since he was a kid and helped him to stand when he fell down.

"Nee....san...." Nagisa tried to speak, though his lips were heavy.

He opened his eyes slowly and finally saw his beloved sister was sitting on the edge of the bed beside him. Nagisa's sister smiled gently at him and touched his hand.

"Glad to see you again, Nagi...." She relieved.

Nagisa smiled back and he tried to sit slowly, but the pain on his head and his chest stung him and forced him to lay down again. He panted heavily while enduring the pain. His hand automatically moved, touching his head then he startled as he felt the bandage.

"What's this? What going on, nee-san?" Nagisa's eyes wide open exploring the whole room, "where am I?"

There were some people in the same room with him. Two big tall guys-one of them was thinner-and an average tall woman. They weren't ordinary people; Nagisa judged by seeing their appearance and attitude. They wore some kind of formal suits. They suddenly bowed at him with one of their hands on the chest; it's too formal. This time, he forced himself to sit with the help from his sister. He glared at her, waiting for a clear explanation.

"One of my men found you fainted beneath the ruins of an apartment, near our target..." Nagisa's sister said.

"Your target?"

"Yupz... I've got the information that in that area there is a hideout of the general of Red...." She tried to remember, "I didn't expect that you're in that apartment.... We thought that they imprisoned you in the HQ, that's why we attacked it last time...."

"Nee-san... What do you mean with that?" Nagisa's sweat dropped on his face.

"Isn't it obvious, Nagi??" Nagisa's sister smiled, "we will take over this land and bring back our freedom!!" She determined.

Nagisa's eyes widen and he gulped in shock. He couldn't say a word to respond to his sister about that. His heart pounded in sudden as he remembered someone. This person's shadow popped out in his mind and he could only think about him. His mouth was locked and he began to doubted himself about his curiousity of this person. He didn't want to hear bad news from his sister and it sounded useless if he asked her about this person since she didn't know anything about him and didn't even know the name. Then he looked at his sister and forced his mouth to release his voice.

"Nee-san...." His hands trembled, "where is Karma?" At last, he didn't have any other choice but digging the information from his sister.
