You're My Sunshine (KarmaxNagisa)

Chapter 10

The parents once told him not to open or even touch the basement. No stepping in with or without them at home. Though there's no one at home but him, he didn't care about it. He didn't want to have a deal with something that could bring a bad luck to himself. Better for him to step backward for his own safety, but this time he strengthen his heart and together with his friends on his side, he smashed hard and roughly the basement's wooden door. According to the last part of the diary and Nagisa's testimony, some people came in here and doing something he couldn't understand. At that time, Nagisa was hiding in one of the cracks on the walls of the basement but unfortunately, he couldn't see what were they doing, but one thing that tied him in the mansion and made him couldn't step out from here was his sister's remains. This also the answer why was she avoiding Nagisa a lot.

"This is..." Kayano gasped, covering her eyes.

"This is outrageous.. How come they...." Nakamura closed her eyes then hugging Kayano tight.

"Say, Karma my buddy.. Are you sure they're your parents?" Maehara tapping Karma's shoulder, "for me.. by seeing this.. They're just a monster.." Maehara pointing at a certain spot in the room with his thumb.

Karma's amber orbs were staring blankly, scanning all the room which full of machines with different function. With a stinky smell around that stung his nose, his whole body was freezing on the spot couldn't shift from the hell-looked view before him. There were some tubes with various sizes. The big size was as big and as tall as an adult human. Some of the tubes were empty and some of them had something in each. It looked like a hybird animal or something like that. Some internal organs were adorning the room in tubes. There was a mummy of unknown creature hanging up on the ceiling and an unfinished surgery object on the long white table in the middle of the room with a wide round lamp above it. Knives and its friends were neatly arranged on a small thin box next the surgery bed. This was enough to stir their stomachs, but those were not the main view. Nagisa was slowly stepping to a white curtain which covering the beneath. It looked like a medium sized tube with some rubber tube connecting it to a big machine not far from it.

"The reason why she's avoiding me.. Is because of this.." Nagisa pulled the curtain.

It revealed a tube which full of liquid with a dry corpse of a certain animal floating in it. There were some rubber tubes which still pierced on its body. It couldn't be identified anymore by just seeing the form, but they could guess what it was from what's happened before.

"Hotaru?" Karma slowly came closer to the tube.

"Yes, this is the original form of my sister.. I think they absorbed her blood and letting her died slowly.." Nagisa rubbing the tube, "she didn't want to face me since her death.. She's ashamed of me.. She didn't want me to see her like this, but I have already seen it.." He hit his fist on the tube.

"That's why you're staying here.." Karma grabbed Nagisa's fist gently, "you don't want to leave her alone.. That's why you're tied here..." He brought Nagisa's head on his chest, "and.. That's why.. She didn't dare to come closer into this house.."

"She's my only family.. She's the only one who sing for me to escort me sleeping.. I love to sleep on her laps and listening to her warm song.. We don't know anything about our past, but I don't care as long as I'm with her.." Nagisa squeezed Karma's sleeve.

"But.. That means.. Nagisa is the only legendary blue fox here, isn't he?" Maehara pointed at Nagisa.

"That's a good question.. Nagisa.. What will you do after this?" Added Nakamura.

Nagisa looked at Karma sadly with tears flew down. He hugged him tight without saying a word.

"Nagisa.." Karma accepted the hug.

"I'm really sorry, Karma-kun.. But let the legend be a legend.." Nagisa said softly on Karma's ear.

Nagisa gave a tender kiss with slowly touching Karma's forehead then there's a bright light snapped from his finger which touching Karma's forehead. He gave his last gentle smile to Karma before the light exploded and enveloping the whole room.

"Arigatou, sayonara.."

Was the last words which echoing in the whole mansion after the light dimmed, leaving the unconscious people in the basement with an empty tube where the dry corpse was. There's a small blue fox running out from the mansion with a jingling sound. It stopped for a while, looking at the mansion for the last time then jumping up on the trees and disappearing, leaving a far away jingling sound.

"What's wrong, Karma? Come on! We're late!!" Shouted Nakamura.

Karma was slowly walking, didn't care about being late and just staring up to the sky.

"You're my sunshine.. My only sunshine..." He's humming.

"What's that song?" Maehara ruffled Karma's hair from behind, then swung his arm around Karma's shoulder, "you have something interesting, bud?" He smirked.

"No.. It's just.." Karma touched his lips involuntary, "There's one song that echoing on my ears.. I wonder whose song it is.." He gazing out to the sky.

Maehara pushed Karma's back to rush him since they're late. They're leaving hurriedly, while there's a blue shadow rushing fast behind them with a jingle vague sound.
