@Yakosh-san from FFN

--Thank you for informing me on that one! I really, really appreciate your effort to tell that to me. That idea about the car exploding is Philippine dramas' fault for always blasting the car when it falls on a cliff or somewhere. Anyways, I'm really thankful for your concern and of course for reading this story and even reviewing it. Really thank you so much.

Heartbeat

"There's a guy entered the mansion..." everyone has stop to their business when they heard her; meanwhile Karma gaining consciousness once again. "The guy has started attacking Aguri-san and the others!"

Chapter 10

You Against US

The news that announced by their friend brought realization on Satsuki as she remembers the guy she saw while they are on their way to the accident. As she suspect that guy wouldn't bring any good with him.

With the urge to go back the mansion, Satsuki takes a step towards their car, that become sign to Gakushuu that they will drove back, before they could run, a voice stops them.

The brunette and orange haired turns their heads towards the voice and saw Karma standing on his feet while trembling; the shock from their accident hasn't leaving his system but he's trying to fight it off while thinking he is near to his Nagisa.

"You're going where Nagisa is right? I'm coming too."

Satsuki face frowns, thinking if she should allow this fella to join in.

"Answer this first." Karma's golden mercury eyes look straight on Satsuki's crimson ones. "Who are you?"

"I'm Akabane Karma."

Everyone gasps as they hear his name; after all he is popular to their mansion because of their newest member Nagisa. Smirk plays on the brunette; why not?

"Terasaka help him to car!"

"Huh? Why would I?"

"Because you're a muscle head." Satsuki stated bluntly, as if it is the most obvious thing in the whole world.

"Damn you Satsuki!" yet despite his protest Terasaka still helps Karma towards the car, which earns smirks and giggles from the rest.

After getting in the car and fix their seatbelts, Gakushuu starts the engine and drove away towards the mansion.

"We need to be careful, that guy is a psycho." Karma warns the two teen that seating in front.

Satsuki, looks at him from her seat, while Gakushu let out a playful 'Whoa~' with smirk on his face.

"Who's more psycho?" Gakushuu question with playful tone, Karma raise an eyebrow on him, while Satsuki giggle, "That guy or this person next to me?"

"Huh?"

"Gakushuu, don't ruin my reputation!"

"You don't have that kind of reputation! Everyone knows how evil you are!"

"Aww~ that's hurt you know!" And both chuckle, leaving Karma confused on how carefree they are. Have they forgotten that Nagisa and their friends are in danger?

"Setting that aside—" Satsuki suddenly cut their funny conversation. "You're Karma, right?" Karma nodded "I heard lots of things about you from Nagisa—say... what will you do once you learn her reason for coming in our home?" Satsuki bathe an eye on the redhead thru the rear mirror.

Silence conquered their ride as Karma collecting his thoughts. 'What will I do... huh?'

[Nagisa]

I heard everyone's battle screams as they fighting the intruder. Maehara-kun warned me not to go out my room no matter what happen to them and then lock my room's door inside, to make sure I'll be safe until Satsuki and the others' come back.

I cover my ears with my hands. Trembling, scared, anxious. Lots of emotion swelling up inside me and I couldn't do anything to ease it.

I want to cry, I want to scream, I want to run towards them, but what I can do once I get out? I might become a burden to them. But I'm worried! What should I do?! Karma!

The thunder roars, adding the tension inside me.

In my fear, something started hitting on my room's door; busting it to open in such very forceful way.

What should I do?!

I pray but end up in vain as my doorknob finally got destroys giving the chance to let the intruder get inside and to my fear the intruder's face that filled with menacing look finally shows itself.

This is just a big joke... right?

"Hi there Nagisa-chan~" his voice fills my fear more than I already had.

No way!

[Maehara]

I'm Maehara Hiroto and here I am waking up with pain on my head. That bastard! Where is he now? As if answering my question Nagisa's screams rungs to my ears.

"No! Stop this Isogai-kun!"

That bastard, what is he doing to our family member!

I pushed myself upward, I will save you Nagisa! But something isn't right on me... I can't feel my legs—eh? What the sh—no way... are you kidding me?

Fear seeps up on me, I—I can't move my legs.

Anger swell inside me as I hearing Nagisa's scream for help.

No—no—no I have to do something!

That's right! The others—I was cut off by myself when I turn my head where my other siblings are. They are all unconscious and have blood on their heads, legs, arms and bodies.

Kazanki-chan, Kirara, Yoshida, Aguri-sensei, Okuda-chan, Kimura-kun, Okajima...

"Please someone help me!"

Nagisa!

My terror then suddenly replace when I heard consecutive gunshots from the upstairs.

You're joking... right? If you two were there, you should inform me!

Smile of relief spread on my face, knowing full well who the owners of the gunshots are.

[No one]

Isogai found his face kissing a black rubber shoes and then flew towards the close door, while Karma swiftly landed next to the scared, in tears and lying on bed with her clothes torn and almost naked Nagisa.

"Karma..." Nagisa mutter under her breath seeing her beloved childhood friend next to her, saving her from their friend who wanted to do her.

Not far behind is Satsuki who entered the room on the window the same matter on Karma's way-in while Karma scoop Nagisa up and embrace her with tenderness. The brunette smile as the two lovers (Unofficial) finally reunites.

Not long enough Karma noticed the IV cord that has blood on the end where it connected on Nagisa's.

"Cieladi, right?" Satsuki raise one eyebrow, questioning his tone. "Take care of her." He said as he removing his black cardigan and put it on the bluenette's almost naked body; covering her skin from certain prying eyes.

Satsuki felt the redhead's bloodlust seeping out and directed to the ravenet on the door, as she fixing Nagisa's IV cord.

"Seriously? That bastard just goes on and tries to rape you despite that you have IV cord? He's an idiot aren't he~"

The brunette eyes then landed on the redhead and smirk curved on her face; she just got idea.

"He even put hickeys on Nagisa's beautiful skin!"

And that added oil in fire.

Karma, without giving his prey a time to react, started to punch him with all his might, kick him that causes blood to goes out from his mouth, slams his face on the wall next to the closed door and slams him on the floor as well.

'That's still not enough~' Satsuki thought, while suppressing herself from joining in; she lick her lips secretly thinking the torture she would do later.

Meanwhile two teens are sitting on the huge tree outside of Nagisa's room, holding rifles, watching the redhead as he almost near in killing the intruder, not interested on stopping him.

The girl touch her forehead that have blood, wiping it unconcern; the guy turn to her seeing her sudden move while watching the scene inside the room.

"How's your head Hayami?" the guy with long bangs asks.

"Here and still alive." She answer with the same monotone with the guy "And you, Chiba?"

"Same."

Meanwhile inside the room the door suddenly opens, stopping Karma on torturing the ravenet. Isogai sees this as chance and slip to take his shovel and swiftly hurl it on the redhead's head.

"KARMA!!!"
