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

Chapter 19: Taken

Hey guys! I am back! Went to Japan for a week and spent 2 days snowboarding, and now my whole body is still sour. Like, I don't even know how I fell so many times, but apparently, I am just bad at it.

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

Third Person's POV

A week later...

After a week of planning and discussion, the E Class has decided to not let everyone go to America, just the people closest to Aira and some with excellent skills, and the information is obviously given by Irina and Karasuma.

And so, if there's any trouble, they have plans to either help or save Aira, or just themselves.

"So, all we have to do is find him?" Karma asks, pointing at the middle-aged man in the photo.

Right now, Karma, Kayano, Nagisa, Isogai, Maehara, Chiba and Rinka are gathering around a table inside a hotel room, photos and a map spread all across it.

Isogai nods, circling a small area on the map, which is a small town in Los Angeles. "We have to find the man, who should be walking around in the town, and follow him while informing the others. I will be with Maehara and Chiba, Nagisa and Karma, and Kayano will be with Rinka, okay?"

"Got it."

"No problem."

"Sure."

Different replies come from different mouths, and Kayano looks up and after a while, her eyes widen, exclaiming, "Look at the news!"

They quickly turn around to look at the television they left turned on, and since most of them can understand most of the English, while someone (*cough*Karma*cough*) can understand all of it, they listen to it for a while and gasp.

"...another brutal murder. In these two months, almost thirty people have been killed brutally, some without their limbs, some burnt to death...there are too many ways of death, but there's always a dagger with a rose engraved onto the blade." A police explained.

"However, after the murderer has done his job, there will always be a witness, and all of them explained that what they saw was a figure of a woman with black hair and blue eyes. If anyone can see someone with these description, please conta—"

Chiba turns television off right after the police has given out his report, and everyone remains silent.

Karma clenches his fists, his body shaking slightly. It was just a few sentences, but he already understands the whole situation.

He might not remember most the things the things that had happened, but the people killed must be by her hands.

But for what?

Revenge? Or...

Warning?

"Doesn't Aira have lilac hair? Did she dye it?" Rinka asks, frowning slightly.

"There's a possibility. Anyway, we must find her tomorrow, or else she might not come back." Nagisa replies, and the rest agrees before going back to their hotel rooms.

Karma's POV

I close the door behind me and lays down onto the bed, covering my face with my arm as I start to think about Aira.

With the amount of people she has been killing, will she get lost in the thrill of killing?

Will she get into trouble?

But from what I have heard from Irina and Karasuma, she doesn't kill people by torturing them before killing. She just kills them with one clean shot.
