It Has To Be You || Karma Akabane X Reader

"You know what's going to be fun about this fight?" you ask him as you take off your camouflage jacket.

"What? Destroying my face? Or me making you realized that the people around acually care and not fucking faking it," James tells you.

"No one is paying attention to us, they must think we already took each other out and I'm sure Maehara is out already so that only leaves Karma Vs Nagisa and you Vs me. So let the game begin," you tell him as you take out an anti-sensei knife and he does the same.

You and James start to fight. "I don't understand, why do you want Koro-sensei dead so badly?" James asks as he attacks.

"My reason has nothing to do with you!" you say as you grab his arm and pulled him in close and kneed him in the stomach.

"Arg!" James says and then with the hand you were holding the knife you try to attack him but he grabs your hand quickly and then your arm and flips you. "Yes it does (Name)! You're my sist--" you cut him off by kicking him and then punching him from under.

"Because I'm your sister? We're not even related. We never were! To you, I'm just a burden. Someone you feel obligated to take care of, just like Tadaomi--" James then punches you and goes for an attack.

You look at him and see him coming at you with the knife. You grab the hand that he was holding the knife with, twisted it quickly which made him drop it but he grabs your hand that was holding yours and pulls you down and when you moved down he kneed you. 

He doesn't care your a girl or his sister right now. He's going to fight you and treat you like an equal. He will make you understand that you don't have to do anything alone and that you're acually loved.

Right now, you're both not fighting for Koro-sensei, your both fighting for something else. James is fighting for you and your fighting out of fear. "Quit talking like that! (Name), you matter so much! You matter to everyone!" James tells you.

"If I did then why does everyone always end up leaving me!?" you ask.

James looks at you not knowing how to answer that. All he could say was an I'm sorry but that means nothing to you and then he was caught off guard. You then kick him on the face and try to stab him with the anti-sensei knife but he dodges it and kicks your hand so that you would drop your knife which you did.

"I came back! Your friends came back! The only who had ever left you alone was me! Tadaomi, your classmates, Karma... They never left you! They were always right by your side! I'm the idiot who left so put your anger in me, not on them (Name)!" James tells you.

"Just shut up!" you say as you punch him but he dodges it and punches you. 

"You can close your eyes on the things you don't want to see, shut your ears for the things you don't want to hear but you can't! You can't close your heart to the things you don't want to feel (Name)! Because the more you try to act strong, the harder it will be for people to ask you if you're okay! I left you because I was a coward! Tadaomi left the house, not you! Karma never left you! He was always there at your side! Our classmates never left either! It's your fear that is making you think that you're alone!" James tells you.

"You... You don't know a single thing, do you?!" you tell him as you got him down on the ground. You were on top of him and you start punching him, "So what?! So what you came back? So what Karma never left? So what my friends are still here now? What will stop them from leaving!?" you tell him and James finally understood.

You're not angry at anyone. You're not angry that James left, you're not angry that Tadaomi left you in that house all alone, you're not angry at your friends for being afraid of you nor are you angry at Karma. You were just afraid that they all leave you alone, that they will hurt you so you're hurting them, pushing them away to make it hurt less when they acually leave.
