The first lesson of the day was art.  The students all enjoyed it, but none as much as Namiko and Naoka.  They were both exceptionally skilled at painting, sketching and everything to do with the subject.  Nagisa set them all off on their work, (painting a picture of a cat, which he had pinned onto the board) and turned to Kayano. "So, do you like it here?" He asked her.
"I love it!  The kids are really nice, and your classes give off the same atmosphere as korosensei's classes."
"Thanks, but his were much better than mine are!" Nagisa replied.

"No way! Yours are way better than his, or anyone's, could ever be, sir!"
Nagisa ducked, only just dodging a blow from Namiko's knife. She unflinchingly stared at him, determination and bloodlust mixed up in her eyes.
"Well, thanks but-"
"No buts sir!  You taught me almost everything I know!  You can't put yourself down now!" Nagisa sighed,
"I'm not putting myself down, but korosensei..." Tears glistened in his eyes as he attempted to control his emotions in front of Namiko.

"Nagisa!  Are you okay!?" Kayano was clearly feeling the same way, but hid it better.  "I-I'm fine..."
"Nagisa, I know that korosensei would be proud of your work now, so don't lose hope, because... Because someone really cares about you!"
That did it. Nagisa's resolve broke, and he fell into fits of sobbing, his tear-stained face flooding with strongly felt emotions which he had been hiding well until now. Kayano, overcome by her empathy for Nagisa's feelings, ran up to Nagisa, and kissed him.

"Kayano, what-"
"You saved me by doing this; it's time I returned the favour."
Nagisa, even in a state of shock and confusion, knew that this was Kayano's way of confessing, so, in acception...
He kissed her back.

During the kiss, the entire class were staring at their teacher, and when they realised that it was over, they went back to their work, giggling and chatting like nothing had happened.

Apart from one.
A child that Nagisa didn't recognise was standing there, staring at him and Kayano.  Nagisa felt a strong impulse to walk over to the child, but before he could do anything, she walked over to him.  "Do you like my work, sir?" She asked.  She held up a picture of korosensei waving at them.  The picture was so realistic that Nagisa almost believed that she had been there and taken a picture.  A name was written on the side of the canvas, but he couldn't make it out; his eyes seemed to blur when he looked at it.
Kayano walked over to them.
So she could see her too. Thought Nagisa.

Kayano could read the name, so she tried to read it aloud. "N_m_  __i_ta" her voice became static when she tried to say it.  The girl just laughed, and started to fade.  She said four final words before she disappeared: "Don't forget me, okay?"

Deep, deep down, Kayano and Nagisa believed that they would see her again...
Someday.
