Another chapter! Sorry if the chapters right now are not as long as you guys have hoped, but I just don't know how to extend all the chapters for now, and I am also editing the first book, and...yeah, that's it. Read on!

Wait, there's still one more thing. As I edit the first book, there will be things different almost every chapter, but the storyline will still be the same.

=======================================

Aira's POV

Opening my eyes, I look around the field in confusion. Aren't I just in the café? Why did it suddenly changed to this?

Suddenly, a loud explosion happened right behind me. Quickly turning around, I gasp in horror at a 6 feet tall monster in front of several people, and a yellow tentacled teacher of some sort protecting them.

Reaper 2.0 and Koro-sensei.

Their names came naturally in my mind, and I became shocked, trying to know what exactly is going on.

Walking over to the gorup of people, I inspect their faces to find them just like the ones from the café. So this must mean...I am looking at their past.

Have I known them before? And there's no such thing as magic in this world...

So why?

But then someone shot at the monster, and I look over at the green-haired girl who has a determined look in her eyes.

"You fool!"

Hearing Karma's voice, I immediately look at him. Wait, if he is here, then this must be the E Class! And the worried girl beside him looks just me.

Did I lose my memories?

"...that's a former tentacle-user for you. Retained the kinetic vision, I see."

The man who said that has a sly smile on his face, and his veins are moving beneath his skin, and one of his eyes is a light of some sort.

Yanagisawa.

Hatred immediately swirled inside of me as I look at him, wanting to kill him. But what he said, a "former tentacle-user", means that the green-haired girl had tentacles once.

And she is Yukimura Akari, my cousin, but now Kayano Kaede.

Immediately I rush forward when Kayano jumped up, immediately sensing the danger that will appear later, which will be taking her life.

At the corner of my eyes, the me in the past seemed to know what was going to happen, and she jumped up as well, pushing Akari out of the way just when a tentacle struck out, going through her chest.

Pain coursed through my body, just right where the tentacle struck. Gasping, I lean forward, my hands on my clothes, gripping it tightly.

When black dots appear into my vision, I fall down, watching helplessly as the other me fell down limply, the others with horror on their faces.

Karma walked over to my body, falling down and hugged me close, his eyes wide with disbelief and his body shook with horror.

Tears start to fall down from my eyes as I looked at the red head, the pain of my loss obviously scarring him for life before my eyes closed from this horrid past.

**********

Gasping for air, I sit up, gripping blindly at my chest. I can still feel the hole in the middle of myself, the pain turning into fire, licking through my body.

Feeling someone's hand gently put on my shoulder, I look into a pair of worried mercury orbs and unconsciously fall forward, burying my face into his chest, curling up.

He doesn't say a word, just put his arms around me, letting his warmth go through my body and slowly easing away the pain.

But when it is completely gone, tears appear in my eyes, and I start to cry. "Gomen'nai, Karma. Gomen'nai." I sob out, and his arms tighten around me before whispering, "As long as you are here, nothing matters."

His words made me cry harder, and he continues comforting me with just his presence. When my sobs subsided, I continue staying in his embrace, and he doesn't let go, as if letting me go would mean losing me.

"I died once, didn't I?" I whisper, breaking the silence. "I was watching from the side, and all I could do was watch everyone get devastated, especially you. Do you..."

Do you love me that much?

He chuckles, his voice soft, "The past is the past. We can't change it. Now go back to sleep." He pulls away, pushing me back onto the bed and pulls the covers over me before standing up.

I immediately reach out, grabbing his sleeve. "Stay. I can't sleep without you." I mumble, my face growing red in embarrassment.

He sighs, taking his jacket off and sits down, pressing the button that raises the head of the bed until it was high enough to lean against comfortably.

Slipping off his shoes, he pulls me onto his lap before leaning back, letting me lean onto his chest. Blushing, I stiffen slightly before relaxing, listening to his steady heartbeat.

Slowly, it lulled me to sleep, and before I sink into the darkness, I can feel something warm on my forehead, and the few, slightly increased heartbeats.

Karma's POV

Pulling away, I look up at the ceiling, glad to have her back in my arms. Now all I have to do, is make her fall in love with me again, bit by bit.

But first...

"I know you guys are out there." I said quietly, and the door opened, and Kayano, Nagisa and Rio come in with sheepish and silghtly guilty looks on their faces.

"Gomen, gomen. But I don't want to ruin your sweet moment." Rio chuckles lightly, taking out her phone to take pictures.

Kayano nods in agreement behind Nagisa. "Kayano, I am not a shield." He mumbles, sighing.

She quickly gets back to his side, grinning sheepishly before looking at Aira in concern. "Karma, will she be okay? I heard her crying just now."

A smile immediately appear on my face, and I hug Aira tighter. "She remembers something about us. Even though it is not that much, it is still a memory." I whisper.

"But which memory is it? That caused her so much pain?" Kayano asks, guilt shining in her eyes. "Could it be the one where she...died?"

My silence seems to answered her question, and everyone grows quiet, knowing that she guessed right. "Well, it's already 9, so I have to go, ja ne!" Rio forces herself to smile, walkimg away quickly.

"M-Me too. Wait for me!" Kayano yells, running out.

"Let's hope Aira won't be awake. Ja ne, Karma." Nagisa smiles slightly, closing the door behind him, leaving me alone with Aira again.

Sighing, I close my eyes, letting sleep come over me.

Aira's POV

When I wake up again, the sun is high up in the sky, signalling it is morning already. Which means I have slept for almost 12 hours.

Yawning, I sit up, looking around to find Karma gone. Hearing the door open, I look over to find a smiling nurse with a tray in her hands. "You are Aira-san, right?" She asks, walking over, putting it onto the table beside me.

I nod, smiling back. "Do you know where the boy with me went?" I ask, blushing slightly when I remember last night.

"Him? Oh, your boyfriend went away just now to change and take some clothes for you." She explains, giggling at my flustered expression. "Is he not your boyfriend?"

"I am actually not sure." I mumble, telling her the truth. After all, I have lost my memories, so my feelings for him are mostly gone, but before that...

She sighs, shaking her head. "Listen here. If you want him, just go for it. You might be too late later on."

"Arigatō. So when can I leave?" I question.

"Well, probably in the afternoon, since your selective amnesia isn't really that serious. Anyway, here's your breakfast, but if you don't want to eat it, I can throw it away and tell your friend to buy something for you." She emphasis on "friend", embarrassing me even further.

Just then, Karma comes in in a red button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up, two buttons at the topleft unbuttoned and a pair of jeans, a bag in hand.

"Oh, look, here's your friend. I will be going now." She continues, emphsising on "friend" before walking out.

Karma looks at her and then back at me, confused. "Don't mind her. She just confused our relationship." I said, looking away to try—failingly—to hide my blush.

After a few seconds of silence, the bed dips down slightly, and he forces me to look at me. My eyes widened when his lips descend onto mine, his tongue sliding into my mouth.

Pleasure and desire washes over me, but then he pulls away, the cold replacing his warmth, making me shiver slightly. "Gomen, I wasn't...I wasn't thinking straight." He mumbles, regret appearing on his face as he stands up.

Nodding numbly, I touch my lips, not even sure if my blush can get any more worse. "Don't you have school today?" I ask, changing the subject.

As if thinking the same thing, he quickly replied, "I don't particularly care about school. I am already a genius. And it is just one day. I can relax for a bit."

"And because girls are confessing to you every day? Don't forget, I always do research on everyone before I go to school." I grin, remembering the first day when the only one who noticed me was him.

"I never did. And you were sitting next to me, like now." He chuckles lightly.

"Ne, can you tell me about last year? I want to try my best to remember everything quickly." I wonder, and he hesitates. "Let's wait for them to come to you naturally. We have time, and we can always make new memories, right?"

"Fine..." I mumble disappointedly, turning my attention to the tray of food on the table, but I don't have an appetite.

Karma notices the way  I am looking at the food, and takes a paper bag from the bag, throwing it to me. Catching it, I open it, looking at the sandwich confusingly.

"I know you wouldn't like the food here, so I made something." He explains, smirking slightly.

"Arigatō, but I think I will eat it later. I don't really have an appetite right now." I thank him, putting it away.

Just in time, the nurse from just now comes in, exclaiming, "Good news, you can leave today at anytime between now and midnight. Oh, you don't want the food? I will take it away now so you can have more alone time with your friend."

Blushing, I glared at her as she comes closer, but she just winks, taking the tray away and leave the two of us alone again. "I am beginning to think that the friend is me, right? What did you two talk about?" Karma questions, looking at me.

"Why do I have to tell you?" I huff, crossing my arms.

"Because I will kiss you if you don't."

"Then do it. I am sure I have kissed you before many times." I reply, confident that he can't talk back anymore, but that's obviously not the case.

He leans in, whispering seductively, "I can still torture you in another way that you can never stop me. And I won't kiss your lips again until you fall in love with me again."

Thankfylly, before he can continue, the door opens again and Kayano rushes in, stopping immediately when she sees us very close.

Her mouth opens and closes, shock in her eyes. "I think we came at a wrong time. Let's go." Rinka appears behind her, quickly pushing her out again.

"No you didn't. In fact it was just right." I exclaim, pushing Karma away.

"So you remembered us?" Kayano asks, excitment replacing the shock.

"Just a bit, but it is still a progress." I explain, and she immediately jumps on me, her arms wrapped tightly around my neck. "Yay! I don't have to act in front of you as a different person!" She yells, choking me.

"Kayano, let go of her, she can't breathe." Rinka orders, but a slight smile is on her face.  "Ah, gomen, gomen. I got a bit too excited." Kayano laughs sheepishly, letting me go.

"It's fine. I am planning to leave right now, so give me a few minutes." I smile, taking the bag on the floor and stand up, walking over to the bathroom and shut the door behind me.

Quickly changing into the blue dress Karma took and sandals, I look at the lace ribbon and rose hairpin also in the bag in confusion, but feeling like they are important, I thread the ribbon into my hair and clips the pin onto the ribbon before getting out.

When the three of them see me coming out, they stand up. "Let's go, Aira-chan." Kayano grins, threading her arm through mine.

Smiling, I nod.

To have friends who still remain by my side no matter what, are the best kind we can find in this world.

And I have them right here.
