"(Y/N), right? Tell me about her."

Karma made himself comfortable on the floor when Nagisa stared at him. Nagisa didn't know how to react but slowly lowered himself down to Karma's level as he looked into his golden eyes that were bright and wide with curiosity that gave off the notion that the red-haired rebel was genuinely intrigued.

Nagisa squatted on his feet and wrapped his arms around his knees as he looked down at the dirt below him, remembering the past as memories flashed through his mind. Breathing in deeply, Nagisa exhaled a shaky breath as he looked at his shadow and the way it was displayed on the floor to show that sunset would only be in a few hours.

"(Y/N).. I think she'll get mad at me if I say anything about her when she isn't here."

Karma noticed the nervous glint in the blue-haired boys eyes and breathed out slowly, "She's your friend, right? Why do you look scared of her? Or maybe little Nagisa has a crush? Hmmm~"

"N-No- No way! Th-That's insane!" Karma couldn't help but grin at how flustered his classmate appeared, chuckling to himself as he looked out towards his classroom, "She's just my friend!"

Nagisa dropped a sweat and stood to stretch his legs, thinking, "I don't think she's interested in dating at all anyway.."

Karma looked away, ruffling his hair slightly as he almost forgot to ask the most important question, "So where is she then? What happened to her?"

Nagisa swallowed thickly and took a quick glance at the cliff behind him though Karma didn't notice, "She isn't here at the moment.. But she'll be back really soon. Sorry Karma but I guess that's all I can say."

Karma had arisen on his feet, dusting the dirt off of the back of his pants as his brows had furrowed, "You make it sound as if she's dead." Karma noticed Nagisa flinched slightly but outwardly he still looked as nervous as he was when Koro-sensei was here.

Nagisa didn't really think it was fair to leave Karma in the dark about what had happened to you. Though both Karma and yourself didn't know each other, he still thought that since you both shared the same class with the same mission; you should become acquainted. 

Koro wasn't particularly comfortable thinking about it so speaking about it was out of the question. Nakamura refused to talk about your misadventure as she had massive amounts of faith to keep her positive and the students she had influenced with that faith also believed there was no reason to bring up such an unfortunate event.

"Then why is the class blockhead so protective of her desk? It's the one next to mine, right?"

"Wha..- Oh, you mean Terasaka..?"

Karma nodded with an 'obviously' face and smirked a little when remembering the way Terasaka practically growled at him after Karma had only looked at the desk, he was an literally a  dog with all bark and no bite.

"Well, they're good friends.. I mean, she's great friends with everyone and.. It's a little hard to explain but it's like.. (Y/N)'s has had a major influence on everyone in the class so I guess they all think highly of her.."

Nagisa didn't want to see the way that Karma was looking at him and kept his gaze on hs classroom that had been absent of students for at least two hours now. The silence was deafening though the way the wind buzzed through the ruffling trees almost gave Nagisa the feeling that you had been there watching him with those huge eyes full of bloodlust. It was unnerving.

He recalled the times where you had been missing for a short while only for someone to find you either hiding or napping in one of the trees surrounding the class. It was enjoyable to miss class so that the students or the teachers could find you.

"She's gone again?!" The students in E-class turned when they heard Kataoka raising her voice in frustration whereas Isogai nervously chuckled. Maehara, Mimura and Okajima also gave a crooked grin while Terasaka, Muramatsu, Yoshida and Hazama chuckled with pleasure as they didn't have to work until the girl in question was found.

"Not to worry children! I know (Y/N)-san as if I were her! I can find her."

- Thirty-eight minutes later -

" I can't do it!"

The teacher almost crawled back into the class as everyone was situated in their own cliques and such. They had been talking, laughing without a care as their teacher had been out looking for their missing pupil.

"Koro, what is going on?"

Koro screamed when Karasuma came out of nowhere from behind him, the class was quiet though Terasaka and Nakamura couldn't help but snicker as their teacher shook in fear, "N-Nothing Karasuma! All is fine! Great- Amazing!"

One scan across the room and the ex-military government worker's eyes narrowed, "Where's (Y/N)?"

--

"And what about you?" Nagisa jumped at the sound of Karma's voice, almost forgetting where he was before he caught the taller male's scruntinising eyes, "What..?"

"About what you said; she must be your friend too, right?"

"Uh, yeah she is. She.. She actually apologised to me.."

The red-haired devil raised a brow and sighed though he felt annoyed at how interested he was no matter how hard he tried to deny it. He would be lying if he said that he didn't want to meet this (Y/N) girl. He was a little excited to get to know her and see what she was like.

"Oh!- Uh nevermind.. She's just a little crazy but ah- no I mean- uh.."

Nagisa felt his heart jump at the sight of Karma's growing smirk as he looked into the distance, "Crazy hmm~?"

Nagisa thought about how (Y/N) had gone into her zone, picking fights in their physical education period and ending on Nagisa when he practically slithered onto her and held her down. Neither Sugino nor Nagisa expected the burst of adrenaline to hit (Y/N) hard enough for her to squeeze away from Nagisa's grip so quickly; hitting him across the head.

And he certainly wasn't expecting her to apologise, (Y/N) had never apologised once her mind was filled with bloodlust and that's why Nagisa was internally desperate for her to wake up - he wanted to know why she had said that, "She's insane Karma.. She's so.. She's so scary.." 

Karma couldn't believe it as Nagisa helplessly uttered those words- they were music to his ears.
