You're My Sunshine (KarmaxNagisa)

Chapter 7

It's a clear sky and a good day. A boy with crimson red hair was standing casually on the edge of a road. He didn't move and his eyes locked on a certain spot across the road. He couldn't shift his sight from seeing a cute girl, in angelic blue yukata with pigtails on her head, playing cheerfully with a small ball. Her eyes had a same color with her hair. Fortunately, there's no one passing by around him. It's a bit weird, but he didn't care. Finally, he stepped his feet slowly to the girl and as he arrived, she gave this unknown boy a warm smile. A thin blush adorning the boy's cheeks. After a short chat, they played together. The girl introduced herself as Nagisa and the boy was Karma.

"Do you know the legend of the blue fox, Karma-kun?" Asked Nagisa to start the conversation.

"I know, but don't care.." Said Karma lightly by bouncing the ball onto the ground, "what's with that? You want to say that you're the blue fox?" He chuckled.

"What if I say yes, Karma-kun.."

Nagisa was surrounded by mist in sudden and it revealed a pair of blue cat-ears on her head and a thick blue furry tail on his lower back with a jingling gold bell necklace around her neck.

"It's beautiful, Nagisa.." Karma's hand moved by its own will touching and caring Nagisa's cheek.

"You're not afraid?" Asked Nagisa shyly.

"Why should I? To see a pretty girl like you___"

"I'm not a girl, Karma-kun.. I'm a boy.." Nagisa annoyed.

"Eh~ is that so? Then let me see down there to make sure.." Teased Karma.

"Wa.. Wait! Karma-kun..." Nagisa panicked.

Karma was busy teasing Nagisa when the strong gust blew causing the ball rolling around.

"Ah! It's my precious!" Exclaimed Nagisa.

"Huh? That dusty ball?"

"You won't get it, Karma-kun! Just let me go! I have to catch it before it falls to the cliff.." Nagisa struggling, trying to free himself from Karma's pin.

"It won't.. I'll catch it before it falls.." Said Karma playfully.

Not far from where they were there's a cliff and a steep malignant water would welcome anything that fell from the top. The ball was about to reach the edge of the cliff and Karma moved fast to catch it, but because of his weight, the ground crumbled and he fell off. There's should be a sign that warned people from getting closer to the cliff, but it's gone. Nagisa couldn't do a thing but cried. Karma's body was found hours after. It's getting cold and his breath was weakening. The people who found him brought him to the hospital fast. He needed at least a week to be able to open his eyes, but he couldn't give any response. The doctor said that everything was ok except his total consciousness. The cause was might be a shock of drowning. The next day, Karma's parents brought him to the playground and left him for a while for him to enjoy the view. For about 15 minutes, they picked him up. They repeated it days and one day Karma said his first word. Though he said it vaguely, but his parents were relieved. Days after, Karma was staying at home while the father was enjoying the evening view, he's shocked by seeing a blue fox sitting on the bench where Karma usually sat on. He rushed to catch it since it's a hunted legendary fox, but failed. He then sent his men to hunt it and they spent days and nights to look for the blue fox which never ever came out again.

Meanwhile, there's a wide garden full of flowers, enveloped by gentle warm wind that stroking one's hair. The well-known boy was standing confusedly by his surrounding. There's a sobbing voice behind him and as he turned to the source of the voice, he saw a familiar figure.

"Na.. gi.. sa.." This crimson red head boy muttered by outstretching his hands to reach him, but it's too far to reach him.

"Why are you crying?" The words were flew out smoothly from his rigid mouth.

Nagisa still sobbing and squeezing his lower big white shirt. He then slowly turned his face to the red head boy.

"I'm sorry.. I'm really sorry___"

"Karma-kun.."

A drop of cold water on the cheeks snapped Karma from his dream. He saw Nagisa's human form in front of him surrounded by a light mist. His face was full of tears.
