Happy (late) Easter! Although I'm still in the slumps, that doesn't mean I can still have fun! Currently on break from school, but have a bunch of AP shit to do....I hate math....

Also, BNHA returns tomorrow! YESSSSSSS! I'm so hype! But at the same time I don't want to suffer again (for those of you who read the manga, you know what I'm talking about).

Also, this is another short chapter...

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

Also, I want to thank elisa_ivy and Ally347Rose for following me! Thank you!

"Gotcha." A voice said as Karasuma was raised to the air with the help of a wire.

"Shouldn't be so fast to celebrate Irina-sensei." Another voice said, startling the woman. Irina felt a chill run up her back. She turned her head to see Nagisa look at her with a gentle smile on her face. "Please die." Nagisa said, attacking Irina with the green rubber blade, making Irina back up and loosen her grip on the wire that had held Karasuma into the air. Irina clicked her tongue as she tried to dodge Nagisa.

No one expected Nagisa to go and attack Irina. Everyone looked as Nagisa had a gentle smile gracing her face, as if she were enjoying the thrill of trying to kill someone.

Using this opportunity, Karasuma slipped from the wire pressing against his neck and dropped down to the floor. That's when Nagisa stopped attacking Irina and started to attack Karasuma.

"Too many openings Karasuma-sensei!" Nagisa said, as she tried to trip Karasuma, only for him to dodge and Nagisa to attack once more. Everyone looked at the trade of attacks, or rather the interaction between offense and defense.

With each attack and swing that Nagisa did, Karasuma blocked and dodged. Every move was calculated, every step was accounted for, or at least that's what Karasuma thought. When Nagisa started to slow down, Karasuma mistook it for a lack of energy, fatigue.

Oh, but how wrong was he.

With one last swing, Nagisa looked at him and smiled.

"Thank you for being so focused on me Karasuma-sensei." Nagisa said, panting. "Here's a gift for you."

"Huh?" Karasuma said, before being hit from behind by a rubber knife, the tip of it grazing his back. Karasuma turned around to see a smiling Karma.

"You're dead Karasuma. Now, what's the prize?" Karma said with a grin.

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

(Nagisa's POV)

"So how did I do?" I asked Karma as I sat under the tree outside and saw him approach. It was nice and cool as the breeze blew around us. No wonder Karma loves to skip class so much. It feels great being outside! Karma huffed as he sat next to me, stealing one of the dango that I had for lunch earlier. "Hey!"

"While Karasuma congratulated me, he said I shouldn't have involved you into this. Semenov, on the other hand, was gushing over how I had managed to use Jelabitch's plan to spring off of." Karma said, biting into the pink dango. But something wasn't right.

"Something else happened, didn't it?"

"What do you mean?" Karma asked, not looking at me in the eyes. I bit the inside of my cheek.

"You never eat the top of the dango first. You usually shove the entire thing into your mouth." I bluntly stated, making him stop eating and look at me. He then turned his attention back to the dango.

"Nothing gets by you."

"What's that suppose to mean?"

"Nothing."

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

(Karma's POV)

"What's that suppose to mean?" Nagisa asked me, her brows furrowing a bit.

"Nothing." I responded.

"Something is bothering you and you know it. I may not have your senses, but my senses sense that something is wrong." Nagisa said.

"Woman's intuition much?" I said bluntly.

"Seriously, what's going on Karma?" Nagisa said, raising her voice a bit. I sighed. Should I tell her?

Should I really tell her what just happened in the teacher's lounge?

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

"That was amazing Karma!" Yukimura said, hugging Karma and patting his head. "Who would've thought that Nagisa and you would make a excellent duo!" Karma pouted, turning his head towards nowhere. He just wasn't used to this attention nor affection.

"It was just luck." Irina said with a pout.

"Sore loser. Act like an adult." Karasuma said, drinking a cup of green tea. Irina gritted her teeth before tossing a knife towards the man, who simply dodged in.

"So Lovro, what did you think?" Semenov said, a slight grin on his face as he faced the older assassin. Lovro looked at the trio.

"He simply took advantage of her skills, that's all. Nagisa was the main event at this assassination, not the wannabe assassin." Lovro bluntly said, putting his hands in his pockets. Karma gritted his teeth.

"Are you saying that I used Nagisa as a pawn? That I simply used her as a tool and not a partner?" Karma said, releasing himself from Yukimura's embrace. "Because listen old man, Nagisa-"

"She may be your girlfriend, but is she really someone you'll throw your life for?" Lovro said, shocking everyone in the room, including Semenov. Karma gritted his teeth.

"Of course I would." Karma said without hesitation.

"Really? Even when you're scared of what's inside of her?" Lovro said, shocking Karma. How did her know?! "How? Easy. The way you act around her."

"Lovro, I suggest-" Semeniv started, only to get silence with a glare.

"To ket him figure it out on his own? With him, it would take years. He has to be told up front." Lovro said, returning his attention to Karma. "Listen, it's evident that you are scared of the talent Nagisa has and you don't" Lovro said, walking up to Karma. "The glint of mischief in your eyes whenever she's near and the way your hands hesitate to help her- you're fighting the denial you have realized."

"So what if I was? How does this matter to you anyways?" Karma asked, feeling Yukimura's grip on his shoulders tighten.

"If you don't fix this, not only will your relationship with her crumble to pieces, so will this class assassination. The two of you are vital in this assassination." Lovro said, placing  a finger on his forehead, poking it. Karma looked at the old man with annoyance. Two... no, three people already butted into something they weren't suppose to.

"What the hell do you know?" Karma started. He released himself from Yukimura and pushed the older assassin.

"Karma!" Yukimura shouted, but that didn't registered.

"So what if I don't fix it, so what if it crumbles? This is between me and her, not you and no one else! This is my problem! Not yours! So fuck off!" Karma said, pushing Lovro aside and walking out the room, slamming the door behind him.

I sighed as I thought about what happened earlier.

"Okay, fine. I'll tell you." I started. She inched closer to me, waiting for an answer. "I never heard you sing."

"Eh?"
