You're My Sunshine (KarmaxNagisa)

Chapter 9

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away"

The gust was bringing in the echo of the song and by the time it's stopped, they heard a light footsteps sound.

"Good afternoon.." The Nagisa-self-claimed girl stepping in with her usual attire and a gentle smile.

"So.. This is the girl you're talking about, bud?" Maehara's eyes sparkling, "she's cute.."

"Ho..taru..nee..." Nagisa gasping.

"I just wanted to deliver a message to you.. Though that wasn't from my heart, but still I wanted you to recall your precious memory which was sleeping within you.." Hotaru closed her eyes briefly, "I'd done everything I could but in the end you couldn't remember.."

"Hotaru-nee, he___"

"I know.. With your help.. With your power, you have recovered his memory, Nagi.. I'm glad your precious one is back.." She smiled gently at him, "my job is done here.." She bowed then walked away.

"Wait! Hotaru!!"

Nagisa held Karma from cashing her, "let her go, Karma-kun.. She can't be here.." His tears flew.

There's a jingling sound that calling them to go outside. As they're out, a soft breeze flew passing through them then circling around a blue fox, with the same size as Nagisa's fox form, which was sitting with a gentle staring azure eyes on them. There's a white rope necklace around its neck with a silver bell jingling along as the wind blew around it. The blue fox was Hotaru. She nodded her head lightly, then facing up to the sky. The sparkling lights appeared around her like a bunch of dancing fireflies.

"It's my time.. Please take care my sunshine for me, Karma-kun.."

She's smiling for the last time before she's disappearing silently fusing with the lights and the wind.

"Nagisa.. What's happened with her?" Asked Karma without looking at Nagisa next him.

Nagisa glanced at him then lowering his head down and letting his front hair to cover his face. He slowly tugging Karma's sleeve with the unstoppable tears flew down on his cheeks. He's sobbing hard that made his mouth couldn't release a single word nor a voice. He felt the heavy burden in his heart was about to explode.

"Nagisa.. Is there anything we can help?" Asked Kayano by tapping his shoulder.

Nagisa shook his head slowly.

Karma grabbing Nagisa's hand which tugging his sleeve, "let's go, Nagisa.. Let's find Hotaru.. I'm sure that she's still alive.."

"No.. No.. She's not.." Nagisa cried a loud.

"Nagisa! Listen!" Karma forcefully pulled Nagisa into his hug, "let's find her!! She loves you.. She did it all just for your sake.."

"I know.. I know.." Nagisa's sobbing, "She loves me that much.. But I can't even pay her back.."

Karma broke the hug, wiping out the tears on Nagisa's cheek then caring his lips, "don't let this mouth say useless things... Please..." A tears flew on Karma's cheek, "let's go find her.. Nagi..sa..." He hugged him tight once again and burying his redden face in Nagisa's shoulder.

Karma knew by seeing the scene just now that there's no chance for him to find Hotaru with living vessel, even seeing Nagisa crying hardly like that surely blown his mind and breaking his heart into pieces. He couldn't stand with hearing and seeing the cry of the one he loved the most. It's hard for Nagisa to lose his beloved sister, but it's not the first time he felt this. He already saw the nightmare of losing his sister twice with his own eyes. The last breath his sister released stung his heart and that became a trigger of a bottomless grief bomb which could explode any time.
