Nagisa's POV

Things got out of hand rather quickly. Here I am, hiding in a book store of the airport, while an armed man prowled the isles."Stay down.", he growled when passing my isle.

"Well it's going to be a long way to Mizuha so I need a book or something.", he had frowned.
Great idea that was!

I even earned a weird look from this guy cause I ended up in the freaking yaoi isle. I'm not into that! And why do they even have this in the book store of an AIRPORT?! When the man is rather far away, I peek up to find Karma's head.

The man had brought down the curtains and locked the door so we were rather trapped. His accomplice stood alert."Don't try to act hero now.", the man that was patrolling snapped as he saw a bystander move.

The third accomplice was gathering money from the young cashier woman. A gun pointed at her head. Every move she took was hesitant. A fury and frustration boiled in my stomach.

I can do something about this! But I shouldn't move without knowing where Karma is. I can change that immediately after hearing a low 'psst'. My head snapped to the right.

He crouched there, his eyes dashing back and forth between me and the man prowling around. I nodded lightly understanding what I had to do.

First, diversion. With as much force as I could, I shoved down the shelf that held those well non pure books down. I let out a small hiss of pain when a book called Blood Bank or something on my head.

"Hey hey perv you can read after we're done here.", the man said after he rushed to my isle. He hadn't realized how close I was to the edge, enough to use most of my strength to pull him down by the collar.

He choked as the cloth unexpectedly closed around his windpipe. He didn't react very quickly, so I took the chance to press my finger on his trachea and cover his mouth with the other..

Though I wouldn't prefer to be in the position, it was keeping him down and that's all that mattered. The man at the door definitely saw him go down which is what I wanted. As he neared my isle, Karma sprung by arm locking him down rather quietly to floor.

The man in my grasp started squirming. I clicked my tongue in annoyance and coiled my legs around him to keep him straight. There was a silent shuffle in the direction of the cashier.

I feel rather grateful that the bystanders haven't made any noise but only few gasps of surprise."I know you're out there. Step out quietly now or else I'll kill you.", the man that was gathering the money from the cashier growled.

My heart stopped a moment at the thought of being found. My grip tightened around the man's neck. There was a small shuffle. My eyes could barely focus as Karma's eyes appeared on the very edge of my vision.

His hands were held up, frightened expression on his face. I swear he better be faking it. Though he seemed frightened, his tall stature made the thief flinch.

"C-Come toward me slowly.", he growled. 'Hesitantly', Karma stepped toward him. But at his third step, as soon as tip touched the carpet, he lunged forward and tackled the man, making him shoot a bullet in surprise.

People screamed as they fell, he yelled for me,"NAGISA CAN YOU KILL HIM?!"

That was the trigger. Can I kill him? I launched myself from my captive's stomach, climbing over the shelf in a split second. I stretched out my arms to the man that had been pinned to the floor.

The Akabane stumbled back from him, gun in hand. He tried getting up but I stepped on his arms. I kneeled on his neck, balancing the majority of my weight onto it. He kicked and gagged momentarily.

Nothing ran through my mind at the moment. Except one thing. He's breathing and that's not dead. This guy is taking to long to die.

Just end.
My chest feels heavy.
He's never going to see anything but me.
Me.
His killer.

Cold. I feel cold. Put my fingers, my arms, feel warm. My knee is lifting. My eyes are freezing. Empty. I'm empty. My head is turning down to my victim. I'm killing.

A rush of adrenaline overwhelms me and a smile crawls on my face as I slam my knee down. The crack of a bullet and thud is heard behind me.

I think it was a bullet. My body refuses to look away from the man who I had just crushed his windpipe. That'll kill him. This will kill him.

I'm using more weight on it. He's dying though. Look, Nagisa, there is blood. Look Nagisa. Nagisa. Nagisa. Nagisa.

"NAGISA!"

My body is pulled away from the corpse. Karma? I'm awaken from the strange trance."What was that...", I murmur. Strong arms are wrapped tightly around me."Snap out of it!"

Karma's POV

Soft cries broke out as I shot the man who had recovered from Nagisa's hold. He tried attacking again. Really a stupid mistake.

I sigh. Maybe Nagisa didn't really kill the man by now. He probably lost his assassin's instinct.

"Heh."

That's what came from him. Would he ever say that? Of relief? My gaze lowers down but not to see the Shiota I know. That's not him. That's a viper. Squeezing out the soul of their prey.

A horrible aura I've only felt once. The bloodlust of Nagisa. I've rarely felt fear. This was overwhelming. Is this the result of him not killing for so long? Or is it just his sudden bloodlust without hiding it?

Tears stung my eyes as he crushed the man's neck. Blood bursting from his neck. I call his name. There's a pounding at the store's door.

"What's going on?"
"Is it help?"
"Someone get the door!"

The bystanders talk amongst themselves. A man stands up and looks at me in fear. I shake my head and quickly show him no threat. He scrambles to the door. I return my focus on the Shiota.

"Nagisa!"
"Nagisa!!"
I grit my teeth and tear him away from the corpse."NAGISA!", I get a response at last when I feel a jump from him.

He's so cold. What happened, Nagisa? I tighten my arms around him."K-Karma...", he shivers then brushes his hand on my arm. Unconsciously, I grabbed it before it fell to his side.

"Security! Identify yourselves!", I hear a gruff voice yell behind me and the click of guns loading their ammo and click of handcuffs. A rush of protectiveness floods my instincts as I pull Nagisa's small frame closer.

"Please wait sir, they saved us!", I see a child scramble out from hiding. They won't believe that with when there's a dead man beside us, a gun, and one knocked out unless another person speaks up. I then realize something.

I received an assassination license for this type of situation. I dig through my pocket until I feel paper graze my fingertips. My hand dives for it and I pull it out then lift it towards them.

The officer lowered his gun a bit and muttered something into the radio then slowly walked to me."What is that?", he ordered. My eyes narrowed, then turn to show the license side.

In a low whisper, I say,"Temporary but approved government assassin."

He froze then swiped the paper from my hand. I held Nagisa's small frame closer to my body. I feel a small movement in my arms and glance down. A heat crawls up my skin as I realize how protectively I'm holding him.

I pushed him a little farther away in a spur of how flustered I was. That's something I haven't felt in a while."Eh?", he said as I looked away toward the officer. He glanced at me then at Nagisa.

"Him too?", his voice was equally quiet. I nod my head then return my gaze to the Shiota. He still felt had a dangerous aura, and his face is darkened. What's he thinking?

I hear the cop clear his throat. I turn to him and he sighs."This is a warning. You guys might have saved these people but this much violence and in front of some younger crowd can cause panic.", he snaps.

I glance behind me at the people starting to filter out, shooting glances at us."You'll still be questioned, come with us."

>>
"I guess crime has been rising for a while now, eh?", I say as we leave the Security room and lead ourselves out to the airports exit. Nagisa had been acting so distant. He still seems off."Yeah I guess.", he says blankly. I frown a little at his tone.

We step out the the sliding doors of the exit and I scan the road for a taxi until the Shiota next me stops. I turn to him,"Nagisa?". He doesn't respond so I reach out my hand onto his shoulder.

Almost immediately, he jumped at the contact."Nagisa something bother-", I cut myself off when a quiet sob escaped him. My heart twisted at the sight of him."K-Karma.", he stepped toward me and then went limp then fell forward on my stomach still sobbing.

"I lost c-control, it was so cold. I even had the th-thought of killing-", he couldn't go any farther until he gripped onto my shirt. I've never seen him so out of control, not since Koro-sensei's death. Is this his pent up urge of not training or, assassinating someone for so long?

He began to fall to his knees but I gripped his waist. I hate it. I can't bear this sight. So many I have seen cry because of me. But for him, I can't even keep myself on balance if it even wasn't me who hurt him.

I admit it now, as I lift him onto my back. In all honesty I hate giving in, especially to myself. I love him.

In a low whisper I admit as he dazed off,"I love you Nagisa."
