The Red Door 2

Kayano and Nakamura was sitting together. Maehara , Sugino and Isogai was chatting before they notice Nagisa's present , he step forward.

"Why are you guys up so late ?" he muttered, still slightly delusional from sleep.

No response. Nagisa rose a eye when he noticed the uncomfortable silence washing over and the look on their face he had received make him feel a bit uneasy.

"We discover that we just had a similar nightmare...." Sugino hesitated when Nagisa to pour himself a cup of hot tea.

"And ...?" Nagisa bring the cup to his mouth and began to gulp up.

"About Karma...." Maehara blurt out , wearing a frown.

Isogai looked down , his hand ball into a nervously fist and finished.".....drowning."

The statement make Nagisa eyes winded , spitting out his water. He started choking on the water while few of them rush up to him and ask if he was okay. His mouth gap open like a fish.

"Nagisa ?" Nakamura asked a bit concern when the boy didn't respond. He grew nervous but decided at least confront it."I-i...had the similar nightmare too....."

They all share a surprise look , before glancing back and forth at each other..

" What do you think the meaning behind ?" Maehara question as everyone look down. "I don't know......."

Nagisa then feel a bit uneasy , but he need to know. So he plucked up all the courage and asked."D-did you guys dream a-about the fire ?" he murmured , fist clench.

"Huh ? What fire ?" Everyone turn to him.

For what ever reason , Nagisa doesn't know he should feel relief or scared."Ah..y-you know what , n-never mind." Nagisa nervously laugh. " Is just a bad dream."

Dark , grey cloud gently walk pass by , blocking the vision of the stars and lonely sliver moon. The branches still swayed in winds , and the night lives on. Such ironic view. Nagisa lost in his own world , staring at the sky that was spread out with sparkly stars.

The quite is violent because it made him think.

And he hates thinking.

"Nagisa-kun." He startled by the voice that bring him back to life , he snap his head around to greet...."Oh. H-hey Kayano. I umm I didn't see you there haha....."

The crescent moon shone brightly above the hotel."This was one fun school trip ," Kayano said over the image. She and Nagisa sat side-by-side looking out a window at the mom," getting to see different sides of everyone and all."

"Uh-huh..." Nagisa agreed but his voice sounded a bit dejected.

Kayano noticed her friend's down mood, "What's wrong ?"

"Well.. I was just thinking.... it feels like our school trip is almost over right ?But our way of life has only just begun , and we don't know if the world will end next year or what." Nagisa confided.

Kayano nodded."Yeah.."

"But either way , this class will be over next March." His mind began flashing back all the memories that they created in class. "Yeah , It will."

Nagisa started up at the sky above , Kayano peering at him with a gentle smile."Whether it's learning more about everyone , or killing Korosensei.... I want to make sure I don't leave anything undone."

"For now , let's just focus on the trip , you know ?" He only nodded as the silence grew between them , cutting by the wind who taut their hair.

Kayano heard plastic crumbles and shuffle beside her , she turn to see Nagisa was unwrapping some sweets. He look at her and blink before reaching inside his pocket , taking out another one. Kayano stare at the sweets in his hand for a moment before he gesture her to take it , a glimpse of spark flash on to her eyes as she reach over and started unwrapping it.

"Thank you !"

Nagisa smiled at her. "No problem."


Midnight falls like a rich velvet blanket of black , swallowing up the day , draining the colors to grey and then to nothing at all. His floating. The figure gasped as he shot up frantically , thrashing the futon. His hand reach his eye , coughing up familiar pool of red liquid splattering on the palm of his hand. He stare down motionless at the sight before got up from bed.

The pair of eyes was lifeless , staring into space in daze. Pair of hand started moving it's own , removing his yukata off and revealing a long scar across his chest and leading to his stomach , another one on his neck. He ripped them. He looked like he was in a trace , staring at the him that trapped inside the mirror. Blood travel down so freely , painting his whole body. He didn't react.

His fabric soaked as it stained it self from the burning red liquid. His mind drifted off with the sound of cozy wind , leaving nothing but emptiness as the pair of legs continue to walk itself further away from the house.

He knows they are here , just like that he the darkness swallow him.

The scene turn black. It flashed up to the moon light and began shifted back into the room.

Maehara woke up , feeling cold hovering his body. He sat up as a large yawn escape his mouth , he stare into the space and blinked. But something felt off....his intuition screamed that something was not right here. He tiredly let his eyes travel around the room in slow pace , everything was normal until his eyes winded in horror when it landed a small pool of red on none other than Karma's futon.

His blood ran cold.

"GUYS GET THE HELL UP !!" Meahara grew alarmed.

"It's four in the morning.." Isogai slurred as he buried his entire face back into the pillow."what is it....?"

"THAT !!" Meahara pointed on Karma's futon as all the boys turned to see pool of blood that welcome them , fully waking them up.

"Get Korosensei !" Isogai demanded.

Some of the boys went to the teachers room as the others went to wake the girls up. The girls started groaning and rubbing their eyes , not aware of the situation.Nakamura yawn , stretching her body as she stirred."Whattt..."

Meahara scowl. "WAKE UP , YOU BITCH !" he demanded , hitting a pillow at her.

Majority of the student jolted awake by the incoherent screaming. Fuwa rubbed the sleep in her eyes and Hara tired not to drop dead , Kayano was dazing in and out. Nakamura whine , pulling back her blanket and buried her face in to the pillow. Nagisa got irritated and pride the blanket off her.

She immediately shot up and send a glare. "Hey ! Give me back my blanky !"

"KARMA WENT MISSING !" Isogai scream back. The girls stare in Daze at each other , trying to proceed his words. All the girls soon shot out of bed when realization kicked in their mind system , fully awake. The news caught them off guard , they all rush towards to the boy's room. Soon Korosensei arrive as the boys show the blood that's on the futon.

" When did you realize that he was missing ? " Karasuma demanded.

"Probably a few minutes ago." Maehara panicked.

" Alright everyone get the torch light and split into groups. He wouldn't be that far !" Korosensei order as they nodded their head and did as he told. They began searching in the dark , flashing their torch light left and right. Some of them were screaming his name to see , they even search through all the place to find no sign of Red Head.

It took about half an hour before one of the boys found him. "Guys ! Over here !!!!"

Everyone ran towards the boy was coming from as they paralyzed of what they saw. Karma was standing on the edge of the cold lake that was very deep , all of them shouted not to move. Out of a corner of their eyes , a dark figure appear standing before the boy , pointing a gun to his head. They froze in shocked. The man realizes them , soon aimed the gun directly at them.

"Oh ? What a surprise." The Man chuckle in a deep voice. "I'm sorry to interrupt our fun , so let's cut it short."

Confusion wash over before gun loaded and fire it. They grow alarmed , watching Red Head use his body as a shield to protect them , he kick the gun away from the man's hand and push him into the lake with himself.

Sugaya grow more alarmed. "KARMA KUN ! " not second thought , he jumped down into the lake.

"Sugaya-San !" Sugino catches up.

The students looked at each other before nodding , they followed behind them.

Korosensei use his tentacles to wrap around every boys on the waist and they all jump down. The Class could be seen dived into the water , searching from the source of the red head by the dimmed light from the moon itself. Kimura caught his eyes at the glimpse of red , he signal the Class towards the direction.

Isogai and Nagisa swim behind him , Kimura take the lead. Mimura heads perk up , there at the distance he watched Karma's body flow freely , the blood shot hair rises like seaweed upwards , rippling in the currents. Blood dancing through , Mimura quickly rush towards and held the unconscious boy in his arm. He signal the two student who were behind him.

"Karma-Kun !" Nagisa abruptly stretch his arm ,using all his strength to swam towards the boy.

Isogai warp the tentacles around the Red Head waist , Kimura and Mimura pulled the tentacles as a signal for them to get up. On the surface , Korosensei immediately noticed the movement , using all his strength he started pulling them up.

The bubble started to form up the water , the students head one by one perks up from the surface , sucking for deep air. Kimura looked over at the teachers. "WE GOT HIM"

"Pull !" Karasuma strictly ordered , Korosensei obeyed and started to pulling the class to safety..

Karasuma rushes up to the unconscious boy where Korosensei had gently lay , he started doing the Resuscitation of the Drowning Victim on the boy. Worried shot through their faces, sobbing filled the air when no reaction was made from the boy.Karasuma repeatedly bumped his hand onto Karma's chest , the same action over and over again.

It felt like god heard their cried when Karma finally started coughing up water.

"We have to call the ambulance ! " Bitch sensei command. They took their phone out but was cut off by half dying boy.

"Don't.... " he pleaded , a dazed look in his eyes.

"B-But Karma, you're bleeding a lot !! We need to call th-"

"Don't do it." Karma coughed. "Please"

The fear of the situation. The teacher and student was very worried but seeing Karma face they couldn't watch him die. Korosensei gently scoop up the poor boy into his tentacles as they went back to the place. He lay the boy on to the bed as the boy gasp in pain and cough up some blood sending everyone more worried than ever. Karasuma started barking out orders to the students to help the injured teen.

"K-karma-kun !" Okuda yelp as she ran to get a towel.Some of them were getting everything they needed to help the poor boy.

"It's okay..I'll be.." was the answer from the red head , who was drifting in and out of sleep.

"Karma , stay awake," Nagisa said , gripping his hand tightly. "We need you."

Karma stared at him , his golden eyes empty , and glossy. But he didn't close them , he kept looking at Nagisa. The bluenette sighed in reflief , at least Karma is still awake and alive. For now that is.

Okuda take a dry towel to wipe of the blood on his lips and Yada get a wet towel and put on Karma's Head. They were shock to see Karma's eyes was gathering blood too , it much be a small cut....while that's what they thought. They threatened his wound as Korosensei went to find the man who did this.

The scene open in a bathtub with running a water.

"Hurry !" Karasuma ordered. His eye lids were repeatedly falling and rising , he was about to lose consciousness any second now and that's when everything become a blur to him.

Karma could hardly walk anymore , he was now leaning on Terasaka , who for some reason agreed to help the red head. Karma hadn't said a word to anything. Terasaka only seemed to be concerned about how cold the red head was.

"Damn , you're not heavy or anything," he mumbled. "But you're freezing ! How can you still be alive ?"

Karma didn't utter a word as his eyes glue to the ground and so the two of them stayed quiet , Terasaka looking somehow bothred...by how thin and pale the red head look.

"Easiest way to warm him up is hot water. Get him into the bathtub as fast as you can. I'll bring you dry clothes for Karma." Karasuma told them. "Half an hour in the warm water should be good enough , he'll surely be dizzy after it , if he even is concious."

By the time Korosensei came back , Nagisa and the others help carrying Karma to the bathtub and he heard how the door was shut behind him and was locked. Well, it wasn't like he would've even tried to escaping. Karma woulddn't survive outside and they are definitely not leaving him behind.. Not . Ever . Again.

"The water was ready , let's help him in" the yellow octopus said , but the red head refuse them with all his power. And hell Karma was strong and Nagisa didn't even get it how it was still possible. Like Karma had been shot two times and he had fell to a cold lake but obviously it wasn't enough.

"Karma you need to get in !!" Nagisa reason. " You'll die soon ! Don't you realize that ?"

He wait for a moment before speaking up. "I do and I realize it very well" Karma hissed , his voice was weak , mercury eyes narrow at the bath tub. ".... I just need some time right now.."

"Karma-kun , There's no time. you are bleeding , For god sake !" Nagisa was panicking but the boy didn't utter a word. Nagisa glance up and was about to reason with him when a sudden glimpse shinning in that pair of mercury eyes. He wasn't quite sure but , this seems really unusual of the Red Head himself. "What's wrong ? Why is Karma-kin acting like this ? Was it something we had miss ? "

And then it hit him.

The dream...

Nagisa really didn't want the red head do something against his will , but right at the moment he didn't have a choice. Karma was putting up a fight , really refusing to get in the bath tub. He wasn't angry and he didn't do it just to pissed Korosensei and Nagisa off.

Both Korosensei and Nagisa knew that they would have no other choice , but to push the boy into the bathtub. Nagisa took a deep breath then he moved his hands from Karma's , hugging the red head tightly and pushed the red head into the water , falling on top of him.

The pair of mercury eyes is still cold as a stone , a quite sighed escape his lips. He didn't make a any sound as he let it happen , he can easily get out if he was force to but seeing his formal classmate face....he couldn't help it but let it slide.Korosensei had the chance to pinned both Karma's legs down so he wouldn't accidentally hit Nagisa.

"Well that was......easy. " Nagisa stare at the red hair. "I didn't know Karma can be so light......lighter than I thought. Did he even eat at all ? "

Karma felt then, with all his strength suddenly gone, the feeling of Nagisa's hand's slipping through his fingertips, dissipating soundlessly into his memories, as if Karma himself never existed at all. Nagisa couldn't read his expression. It was blank, masked, and cold under his watched. "Karma-kun had saved us twice. The last trip and now this....."

It's almost like when you put headphones on in a loud room, but there's no music playing. It feels like pins and needles in his skin. But instead of being painful, it's a hot and cloudy feeling. Like his skin is trapped in pop rocks. He hated how much the Red head was hurting and how they couldn't make things better. He hated that he needed to hurt him even more but Nagisa couldn't bear seeng Karma die. He was selfish , but he couldn't.

"Karma-kun ... i-I know that your angry at my sudden action .." his voice trembled. "But I-i just want to help you. I know i've been dragging you down but , I want to help you. Just please let me help you at least once." He was now determined and desperate.

"Is it true that....was the woman had actually tried to drown Karma ?" he frowned. "Must've been hard on him " Nagisa grimaced , not daring to open his eyes. He knew that Karma was looking at him and he couldn't face the red head. He couldn't bear seeing the golden eyes filled with sorrow and pain.

"Please don't hate me after this." Nagisa whispered , his voice cracked. "I'm so sorry , so very sorry. I won't do this ever again. Just please , don't hate me "

The only sound that they heard was from the water running it self , the atmosphere was quite in a tense way and three of them was still as a status. Nagisa was scared and terrified to see the other reaction , he didn't want it. The pity expression is too much for him , is eyes continued to shut tight and he didn't even noticed how his finger ball itself in to fits.

When he felt pair of warm surrounded him , his eyes shot open to reveal Karma used the energy he had left to hug him back. Nagisa was too shocked to even move , paralyzed by the sudden embrace and what felt like eternity he heard a deep sighed was able to snap out of Nagisa's trance.

Much to Nagisa's surprised , Karma actually answered him. " I could never hate you "

And those little words meant the world to Nagisa.

But there's something bugging him. "The scars... " he gave Karma a weird looked but the boy didn't look his way. Something tightened Nagisa in his chest. "...is it just me or the cuts just lessened ? "
