Blank

Chapter 35: Father

It's hard to get back into the writing mood... its been so long and with less than a month til my first classes at Uni, ugh!

Thanks to anyone who has followed me! I really want to shout out, but with the changing my emails for my Wattpad and FF.net account, a lot of my notifications were screwed up as well as email contacts. So guess how long that fucking took?

And then with papers being lost and still needed, I have little to some time to update or write chapters.... *sigh*

And then there's Wattpad telling me my story and chapters don't exist..... like??? WTF???

Anyways, here's the next chap of Blank! Enjoy! (You might want to read the last chap to refresh)

"Father, what are you doing here?" Nagisa asked, letting go of Karma's arm and standing a foot away.

"I came to see how my little girl is doing. Why else?" Nagisa's father said, making Nagisa flinch."I see that you're doing well. Gotten pretty close to your bodyguard haven't you?" His words were cold, piercing through her body, paralyzing her. His smile made sure she didn't dare to look away or hide.

Nagisa felt her body tense, her heart pounding with fear. There was slight ringing in her ear. Was she hearing things? She had to be tired. Tired... She was tired, yeah tired. That's all. That's all.

"Nagisa. Are you alright?" Karma asked, reaching towards her only for his hand to be shot down by Nagisa's unsteady gaze.

"She's fine. Just a bit tired. Isn't that right Nagisa?" Her father said with that smile still intact, Nagisa nodding hesitantly, her hair casting a shadow over her eyes. How was he able to read her mind? Oh wait. It was Father, that's why...

"Are you sure you're okay? You can-"

"I'm alright!" Nagisa tried to say calmly, but it came out to be a panicked shout. "I-I'm alright." Nagisa said, soothing her arm with her hand as she looked at her feet. When did it get so cold?

Karma looked at her worriedly.

"You see? Nothing to worry about. Akuma, was it?" Nagisa's father said. Karma didn't like the way he said his codename in such a foul manner. There was a clear tint of annoyance in his voice. "You're dismissed. I'll be taking Nagisa home now." Nagisa snapped from her thoughts, looking at her father and then at Karma with wide eyes.

"Father, can I-" Nagisa started, only to flinch when her father looked at her sternly. She instinctively looked to the ground.

"We're going home. Let's go." Nagisa pursed her lips, looking at Karma. She didn't want to go home. "Nagisa." Nagisa made her way towards the car when she felt Karma hold her back.

"What are you-" Nagisa started only for Karma to stand in front 

"She's staying with me. I'll be escorting her home." Karma said sternly, standing besides Nagisa, his hand tightly holding Nagisa's trembling one.

"Nagisa, is that what you want?" Her Father asked her out of the blue, surprising Karma. Nagisa looked at their entwined fingers. "Do you want to stay with him? You could if you want."

As gentle and sweet those words sounded, they were just hiding the truth beneath. "So what's it going to be?"

Nagisa looked at Karma, his eyes telling her to stay. She looked at her father, his entire being tell her to hurry up. Letting go of Karma, she walked slowly towards her father.

"Nagisa! Is that really what you want?" Karma shouted, noticing that Nagisa composure had shifted a bit.

"Father, let's go home." Nagisa said, her tone flat with no hint of fear. Her father smiled, the ones that a regular dad would give.
