I make an appearance! (Well...my persona that is).

I guess you can consider this chapter to be filler.... filled with fluff!

----------------------------------------

(Karma's POV)

"Jelabitch, I need you to be quiet for a while. I need to answer a call." She looked at me before nodding, getting the message.

"Yo, what's up?"

'Karma....I need a favor.'

"Of course! Anything for milady!" I said, earning a confused look from Jelabitch.

"I need you to be my...my..." I heard fidgeting in the background.

"You're what?"

"My boyfriend...."

"Eh?"

----------------------------------------

"How do I look?"

"Like a delinquent." Jelabitch said, munching on the roti I made for dinner.

"Really? That's good." I said. I wasn't used to wearing a tuxedo. But today this was for Nagisa's sake.

~Flashback~

"I need you to be my boyfriend."

"How bold of you! Didn't know you had fallen for my charms~"

"Karma, I'm being serious."

"What's wrong?" I said, noticing how serious she was.

"I can't tell you right now. All I can say is that I need you to be ready by 19:30 sharp. And in tuxedo. Poe will be picking you up. I'll tell you then. Please, trust me on this.'

End of Flashback

"So where are you heading off to Karma?" Jelabitch said, taking another roti and munched on it.

"None of your business old hag." She freaked.

"Old hag! I have you know that I'm still in my twenties you damn devil!"

"Fine, I'll tell you. To a gala." I said, straightening my suit jacket.

"In all black?"

"I'm wearing a dark crimson shirt. You know, the color of a red rose?"

"But that's about it. You look shady with that suit on. Want me to get you something more sophisticated?" I smirked.

"But isn't that a good thing?" I grabbed my keys and opened the door. "That means if they mess with my date, they're as good as dead.

(Nagisa's POV)

"Are we there yet Poe?"I asked the family driver, tugging on my black jacket. It was chilly outside and I wore it because I didn't want to be teased by a certain redhead.

"Not yet. Why are you so anxious?"

"You should know why." Poe simply hummed. It was because-

"We're here." I looked out the window to see the gates to the Akabane mansion. Pass the gates you can see a gray water fountain amidst rows of flowers. Pass that there was a lone red brick mansion that belonged to the one and only Devil, Karma.

"Yo Nagisa!" Karma replied. I looked up the window before falling back.

"K-karma! Don't scare me like that!"
