Nagisa's POV

Blood has stained my hands. I have killed someone. Even though I don't know their name, origin, family, or history, a part of me dies for committing an awful sin.

I have no talent and no strong enough mentality to do it without hesitation.

I thought that for a while, you know.

A wave of drowsiness filled my senses. I couldn't really move my eyes since they felt incredibly stiff. I lazily sat up and yawned feeling around the blanket."E-eh?", my eyes focused, someone was on the edge of the bed. I try to comprehend the word that just ran through my mind.

I try to sit up but the someone was clinging on my legs. Red hair? Karma? A heat rushed to my face as he wrapped his arms tighter around the lump that was my legs.

"U-um, Karma-Kun?", I try to move my legs around to wake him up. He just groans and moves himself farther up toward me. What's he doing? He's still moving up closer and closer to my face. My body gives into his weight and I lay flat on my back, heart hammering.

His arms slid around my waist but I couldn't pull away. His touch made my skin burn with some sort of excitement. What?! I have to push him away!"K-Karma!", I grit trying to shove him back but that only makes him cling more.

"Nagisa...", he screwed his eyes in annoyance. His head lifted a little and then placed a hand over his face and groaned. His nearly lifeless eyes shot toward me in between his fingers.

For a split second something sparkled in them."Um...", I glance away nervously.  He leans up near my face, sliding off his hand. Karma's breath fills my nose but it smells like nothing. Everything seemed to slow, I stay rigid as his face lifted toward my own.

Though the heat of his breath multiplied as it hit my skin. I held back a small shiver of excitement. In a small moment, our noses were touching, lips dangerously close. No, this is wrong, we're both guys!

This can't happen. I think that, but the space closes. A light kiss was placed on me by the Akabane. They barely brushed until he pulled away. His hand placed behind my head.

"No.", the whisper escapes me. Everything froze, a cold dread crawled up my skin."Ah...", his voice sounded as though it sunk,"It was just a joke",he said getting up and stretching.

"I was just checking if you were still yourself and it seems you're ok.", he kept his face away from me, stripping off his shirt and heading for a black t-shirt on a cushioned chair.

"Ah.", a heat of embarrassment over took my face from the scene before me and the light kiss. Kiss?! He must have been tired, we're both guys, that can't happen, right? Why the hell would he do that to check if I'm ok?

"We should start into investigating on the whereabouts of our target is.", I say looking away from his exposed back. He's acting like it didn't happened...maybe I was hallucinating.

"Hm? I would've thought you didn't want to go on anymore since you broke down after the death of that one guy."

I shivered a little as the memory of the victim's pained expression."Please don't remind me.", I murmur. There was a short silence and sigh.

"You can't go on like this forever. I'll look into finding information brokers around the area though.", he responded cooly. He's turning a little more into his old self.

That's kind of relaxing for me...well maybe not for some of course. But what does he mean I can't go on like this?"Alright, I guess while you search I'll try and polish my skills a bit.", I say.

"'Anything can be a weapon if you polish it enough.'", Karma said after putting on his shirt. I tilt my head at his sudden words,"Huh?".

He looked at me from his side,"You've said those words once.", there was a light smirk on his face as he said it. I stumbled up. My lips parted a little in the distant memory.

"That was meant to say that you don't have to have a certain talent or use anything physically to be powerful, huh?"

"I can't believe you remembered that. You were very sarcastic and still are. I thought you didn't care.",I say lightly with a small laugh. After those words a hand was clamped on my shoulder and with a a sudden force I was thrown back on the bed.

"K-Karma!", I gasp. A weigh came from my side and gently, I felt his hand graze my cheek. I tried to shift away as my heartbeat accelerated. It was such a light touch but I'm burning.

I can't move away anyways, he has an arm holding down mine. I raise the other and place it on his chest keeping him up. His eyes widened a little and seemed disappointed.

"K-Karma, we have to stay calm. We aren't here to fool around. I don't know why you're acting this way and bringing up all this old stuff.", I say nervously trying to keep my composure.

He's strong, I keep forgetting that. He put enough weight on my arm to lower it and touch foreheads."I can't really calm down Nagisa. I haven't been able to forget you as easily as you'd think.", he murmured in my ear.

"Karma please-", I stopped as I felt his rough lips press against my forehead."Sorry Nagisa.", he voice was muffled for his lips were still on me.

"I really like you."

I suppressed a shudder of a mix of excitement and shock. His weight soon disappeared from the bed but I remained in my frozen state."I'll be looking into the information broker. Don't stray to far from the hotel.", the close of a door followed.

I stare at the ceiling. I shiver a little and bring a hand to my face. I feel a little hurt."How can you say all those things and act so cooly, Karma.", I say as my heart throbs a bit.

I roll off the bed and sigh. I stood and stretched.

"Come one Nagisa. Don't act like a maiden, you're an assassin now. Blood has stained your hands before.", I stretch it out and there is a small flash of the once rubber green knife I held against my first target.

"Don't let his training go to waste."
