Yin and Yang

The Quiet

*Karma's POV*

"Cry for me, won't you?"

I flipped my knife blade down, pointing at her chest. She cackled. "You can't hurt me, boy!" She shoved me off of her, stabbing at me and catching my side with the edge of her knife. I groaned, coughing up some blood.

"I'd rather be spitting blood"

All of a sudden, I was yanked off of her. I gasped, looking up to see a furious Nagisa, his eyes like liquid blue fire. He growled at her, hissing out "Go. And don't ever come back." I trembled, feeling the force of his bloodlust. "B-but-" he cut her off, growling. "Now!" She frowned, screeching "You turned my baby girl against me!!!" As she lunged for me again. I scrambled backwards, watching Nagisa trip her, putting her in a holding position. " You can fuck with me, but don't you DARE to EVER fuck with my boyfriend." She started to cry, grimacing and backing out of the house. "I'll be back. Just watch. I'll be back..." She slammed the door, making Nagisa collapse as we lapsed into silence.

Than have this silence fuck me up...

I sat there, quietly panting and holding my side. I was staring at Nagisa, worried. I nudged him, asking "are you okay?" He turned to look at me, and I gasped at the tears in his eyes. I hugged him, ignoring the pain in my sides. He started sobbing harder, leaning on me and crying his heart out. His cries were so loud they hurt my tears, yet all I did was cradle him in silence. For nearly an hour we sat there, tears and blood slowly mixing on the floor. He eventually cried himself to sleep, so I carried him to his bed, laying him down and covering him up. I stumbled to the bathroom to try and attempt to stitch myself up.

*Nagisa's POV*

I hummed, feeling warm and comfy, snuggling into the warm material. I gasped, sitting up. Where was Karma!? I jumped up, frantically searching the house. I couldn't find him anywhere, and I was freaking out.

Anything hurts less than the quiet.

I finally found him, curled up on the floor of my bathroom. I gently shook him, worry entering my voice. "Karma? ....Karma!?" He didn't respond. Running to my room and yanking my phone off of the table, I raced back to Karma and called 911 as I felt for a pulse. *click* "911, what's your emergency?" I quickly gasped out "My boyfriend has been stabbed, please come help!" The lady calmly said "Miss, you need to calm down. We need your address, and we will send the nearest ambulance. In the meantime, I will stay on the phone with you. Could you check his pulse?" I breathed, telling her my address and almost weeping when I found a small fluttery pulse, and received the news that the ambulance was minutes away. I hurriedly dressed in a girly outfit and let down my hair, as boys dating was forbidden in Japan.

The ambulance arrived and I rushed them in. While they carried him out, I gave my statement, and asked to ride in the ambulance with them. As long as I didn't disturb their work, I could. I sat quietly playing with his hair as they did what they could to keep him stable. When we got to the hospital, I was left to sit in the waiting room while they called Karma's parents and while they did what they could. I sent out a text to Ritsu, expecting her to pass it on. I slowly dozed back so sleep, awaiting the arrival of people.
