Black Eyes {Complete}

12

Once the class was out of the room, the doors closed behind them, they started to protest. They weren't leaving.

Rio- just before we left, Karma woke up. He begged me not to leave, so I'm staying put.

Screaming was coming from downstairs. It was getting harder and harder to ignore.

Nagisa couldn't bear to look at Karma. Not after what his mother had made him do. Karma was awake, and Hiromi was rubbing salt into the large cut, before sewing it shut.

'They say I'm not good enough.
They tell me that I'm worthless. If I, as your mother can't protect you from love, then I have failed. So the red head will PAY!!'

Mum! Don't you think he's paid enough? I don't recognise you anymore. When the voices say that you can't protect me, they're right. But it's not Karma that I need protection against. It's you.

'SHUT UP AT ONCE, HOW DARE YOU TALK TO YOU MOTHER LIKE THAT, DO I MEAN NOTHING TO YOU?'

Let go of my...

'DO YOU THINK THAT RAISING A CHILD IS EASY? THIS E CLASS HAS RUINED YOU. I HAVE TRIED AND TRIED BUT YOU WON'T ACCEPT THAT IT'S NOT YOUR PLACE!'

Okay, mother, just please, let go of MY HEAD! I'M TIRED OF BEING YOUR PUNCHBAG!

The speed at which his fist connected with her face was the same as a hummingbirds wings. He was so engrossed with keeping her down that he didn't notice the everyone coming in. He didn't hear the sirens and he didn't see Karma be put under anaesthetic, so the bomb could be removed. He just kept punching and hitting until she passed out.
