Memories Of Us (Karma x Okuda Fanfiction)

Chapter Nine

Karma's P.O.V.

My thoughts spun around in my head but I would not, could not, allow them to distract me. I ignored any phone calls I got for the next thirty minutes. They were unimportant to the situation at the time. I didn't need Koro-sensi to get me back on my feet. I had my brain, I had myself, and that was all I needed. I stuffed my phone into my jeans pocket and walked out the door of my apartment. I wasn't going to barricade myself in my home; I was going to find them. I walked down the long street, just now realizing I didn't know where I was going to check. So I decided to call Asano. 

"Asano. Come on, come on...pick up." I mumbled as I heard the rings. When he finally picked up I didn't even give him a chance to speak.

"We need to find them. They're going missing. Yuma was just taken. I don't know where to look. Have you figured out any location?"

"You messed up, didn't you? You went to Okuda and you talked, didn't you? You damn idiot. I told you to destroy it, not to ask her to destroy it. You used this as an excuse to see her, you're too in love. You disgust me. You're friends are disappearing, dying and you're not doing you're best to save them. What a great friend you are. You should've listened better." Asano said. And that was it, he hung up.

I was speechless, dumbfounded. What the heck was that about? I wondered, but at the same time I knew he was right. I didn't want to believe it so I tried to deny it but that was wrong of me, so very wrong of me. I wasn't going to let this get the best of me. I did the best thing I could think of: I called Nagisa. We hadn't talked in about a month or so, and this wasn't the way I would have wanted to pick things back up, but if anyone knew what to do, it'd be him. 

He picked up almost right away. "Hello? Karma? What's up?" He asked, his voice sounding a strange mixture of being tense and nonchalant. 

I told him everything. About Asano coming, about Yuma's disappearances and how I was worried about the others, about meeting up with Okuda, about needing to destroy them, about literally everything that was related. And like I guessed he had a plan, or at least a good start to a plan. I was going to the reunion. Everyone was going to it. And if they didn't show up, they'd be paid a visit. That way we knew how many in total had disappeared. 

So sorry guys about these slow updates! The last few weeks have been crazily hectic and sorry that this chapter is so short. Hopefully the next will be longer :)
