Only Time Will Tell

Chapter 10: Missing

Asano's POV

I looked at the sketchbook on the table. "That was close... It would've been bad if she saw that..."

"I knew that she had a sketchbook, but I didn't know that Akabane gave that to her... I will not let her see it." I thought.

"I must dispose of that sketchbook."

Nagisa's POV

I fell asleep when Asano-kun visited. Not that our conversation was boring, it never is. It was the pill that the nurse gave me.

When I woke up, Asano-kun wasn't there. "He did say he was gonna leave soon..."

I thought about that person that tried to hit him. "Who was that person? Why did he try to hit him?" I said in my head as I thought about that day.

"But why does he seem so... familiar? I've never met a person with red hair before."

I kept thinking about the red haired boy.

I kept thinking for about 10 minutes, thinking if I might know him. I couldn't think of anything about him, so I eventually gave up.

I decided to ask Asano-kun tomorrow.

-Time skip-

"Hey, Asano-kun." I started.

He replied, "What?"

"Do you remember that red haired boy that tried to punch you?"

He stayed quiet for a few seconds, but then answered, "Yes, what about him?"

"Who was he? And why did he want to punch you?" I asked.

He looked at me, "...Don't worry about him. He was probably getting angry over something stupid."

"Really...?" I looked down.

"I don't know why, but he seems familiar to me. I kept thinking about him."

"...Is that so?"

"Yeah. Like someone I met a long time ago."

"Maybe it's just your imagination. Could you think of anyone you know that has red hair?" He asked.

I shaked my head, "...No..."

After thinking again for a while, I said to him, "Maybe you're right." I smiled.

After that conversation, I kept quiet most of the time. For some reason, I couldn't get that boy out of my head.

You're so rude, Nagisa... Thinking about someone else while you're talking to someone... You should be thinking about Asano-kun, not a red haired boy you don't even know.

Yet... why do I do it anyway?

Karma's POV

I saw Asano walking put of the hospital, his face annoyed.

Seeing this, I smirked and walked towards him, "What's wrong, Asano? Plan not going so well?"

Seeing me, he put his hands behind his back and replied, "Tch." and walked away.

I looked at Nagisa's room from down here.

"She must be thinking hard about me, making Asano mad." I smiled at the thought.

"Even if she doesn't even remember me... She's still fighting hard to do so."

I have to figure out a way for her to make her remember me again before the week ends. If I don't, that'll make things a lot more harder...

Nagisa's POV

Dang it, I fell asleep again... I'm sorry, Asano-kun...

Now, what should I do for the rest of the day? Asano-kun visited already.

"Should I go to the garden? I can see the beautiful sunset there. But... I don't really feel like going out now. Plus, the nurses and doctors will start fussing."

"Oh, maybe I should draw." I looked to my left and reached my hand out.

"...Huh?"

The sketchbook isn't there... Did I leave it in the garden? Oh no... And that was a gift from Asano-kun...

Speaking of my sketchbook, I was gonna take it the other day, but Asano-kun interrupted me by speaking. I wonder why...

Anyway, I should ask the nurse or Asano-kun about it tomorrow.
