(A/N) Hey guys. So school starts Monday and I might be too busy to write. If that does happen I'll do a Q&A if you guys want. Just comment questions on this paragraph and I'll answer them. If I do write a chapter I'll do the Q&A at the end of the chapter. So Q&A happens with or without chapter. Feel free to ask me (Starling, can't make any promises about Owl), or any of the main characters questions. OC or cannon. (Meaning Nagisa, Karma, Iyuka, Misui, Yumi, Irina, Karasuma, and you know what let's throw in Yuuma, Hiroto, and Manarou too). Sorry if I don't update next week.

Something was wrong.

It was a feeling sitting in Nagisa's chest for a whole week. He checked everything though. Iyuka was getting there, the security system was doing better than ever, nobody was after Karma in the assassination sphere, it seemed like everything was normal.

Which in and of itself was slightly off. The amount of times Karma wasn't being targeted Nagisa could count on his hands and the amount of times Nagisa had stopped anyone coming for him was no longer countable. Though Karma not being targeted wasn't a bad thing of course, and he wasn't in such a world where people would go underground from the general assassin population to take him out. Hell, once upon a time someone had actually contacted the Blue Krait to kill Karma, which made both of them laugh out loud before the contractor got a nasty surprise the next week.

Still, the feeling never left and Nagisa found himself on edge, carefully monitoring the wavelengths of people he passed on the street for anyone who was a possible threat (though he didn't discount the others, who knew if there was someone else like him who could hide killing intent so effortlessly?), and he didn't let Iyuka out of his sight when he took her to the park.

Karma had tried to calm him down with cuddles and a good meal, and it helped, of course it helped, Karma's a wonderful cook, but at the same time Nagisa was still on edge about something.

And he was right.

Two days later marked the six month anniversary of Takaoka's death, and on that day, while he was in the back garden with Iyuka, the alarms on his watch went off. His watch was connected to the security system of the house, and three glowing red dots appeared showing him that three intruders had broken in and managed to disable the out-loud alarms. Nagisa stood up hurriedly.

"Iyuka, no matter what stay with me, alright honey?" He said. Iyuka's fearful eyes turned up to her Papa, knowing already that something was wrong.

"O-Okay." She nodded.

"Good. We have some... unwanted visitors, and I'm going to need to knock them out. Are you alright seeing that, or would you rather close your eyes?"

"I'll close my eyes."

"Good." Nagisa nodded.

Nagisa checked his watch again, and saw two of the three men were headed their way, while one of the three was attempting to get into the main house. It seemed to be as he expected, one man for each family member. Nagisa internally chucked, as if that third man was going to get inside. The amount of locks on every single door and the fact they were all made of a core of metal made sure of that. It seemed like too much, but Karma said that when he was younger, someone had kicked the door down to get inside his house once. So putting some metal inside didn't seem like that much to the wealthy pair.

The two men rounded the corner, and Nagisa placed himself protectively in front of his daughter, whispering to her that now was the time for her to close her eyes.

"You're not very subtle are you. We've known that you are here since you walked past our security line. Not all alarms are out loud you know," Nagisa spat.

"Listen you little brat we're just here to do what we were paid for. So you either come quietly or we can get messy."

Nagisa was behind them in an instant.

"Messy it is then. Though, that won't work out well for you."

Both of the men lay limply on the floor. Nagisa hissed as he noticed one of them managed to make a small scratch on his arm. Out of habit Nagisa picked up the man's finger and cut it open, the man's blood washing away any of Nagisa's own DNA that managed to get under his fingernail.

"Alright, it's done. Let's go check on Daddy now, okay?" Nagisa said, walking back over to Iyuka and picking her up.

Iyuka nodded and the two went to where the other man was, to see that he was also already unconscious, but sported a few more bruises than Nagisa's men.

"Finished with your two?" Karma asked, walking over. Nagisa nodded.

"Yeah. Do you mind dealing with them, I think Iyuka would prefer if I just got her some dinner."

"Yeah yeah no problem. Love you, Nagi."

"Love you too."

Nagisa went inside and prepared dinner for Iyuka.

The unsettling feeling didn't go away.
