Gem and I get home and I immediately face plant down on my bed.
"I'm so tired," I said as the pillow muffled my speech.
"You should probably eat something before you take a nap, you haven't eaten yet,"
"Okay Gem," I said getting up from my bed, as I'm about to walk out of my room, I realize Gem isn't following me.
"Are you coming Gem?" I asked as I turned around to look at her, she was looking around the room.
"I'm going to the shinigami realm for a while,"
"Okay, I'll probably be sleeping when you get back, bye Gem," I said as I walked out of the room and headed towards the kitchen.
Gem teleports herself to the shinigami realm, which is a cold, dark and dusty place. When she gets there, Sinn is not far from where she's standing.
"You felt it too huh?" Sinn asked Gem.
"I didn't notice till you left, why didn't you say anything?"
"I thought you knew, I was about to go see him myself. You coming?"<
The week is over and I'm packing my bag to go back, Kaname couldn't find anything in the office and plans to leave tomorrow. There still any sign of Mom, I honestly thought by now she'd at least text me. Ever since Gem got back from the shinigami realm she's been really quiet and constantly looks around. Every time I mention it she tells me I'm imagining it and that we should cut my training short. I know for a fact there's something she's not telling me but I'm not going to ask about it just yet. As I'm thinking if I should ask Gem about her weird behaviour, there's a knock on the door."Come in," I say without looking at the door, continuing to pack my bag."Lady Karma, I have a surprise for you,""What's the surprise Asagi?" I say still packing my bag."When you're finished packing come downstairs alright?" I look at Asagi who has a smile on his face as he exits my room."What do you think that's about Gem?" Gem stays silent looking around the r
When we got home, we were greeted by my father, surprisingly he seemed genuinely happy to see both Kaname and me."How are you both?" He asked pulling us into a hug, I didn't know how to respond this is the first time Father had ever done something like this."We're fine but I need to discuss something with you about Mom," Kaname says in a serious tone. Father looks at me and nods back to Kaname."Karma, we'll talk later alright?" Father says to me with a smile, I nod and take my bag upstairs. As I put my bag down Kami bursts into my room, angry."I take it you're still upset about what happened last week,""Damn right I'm still upset, the fact that you plan to take what's rightfully mine. I'm furious,""Kami it was never yours, to begin with," I say barely paying any attention to her, unpacking my dirty laundry."Look at me when I speak to you!" Kami yells at me as I put my dirty laundry in the basket. Kami put her hand on my head an
I look around the room but I can't find who said that. "Ah, that's right you can't talk" A boy with blonde hair, emerald green eyes, and bright white clothes climbs out from under the bed, I'm laying on. "You can't tell your dad you saw me though, I'd be in a lot of trouble, you might be too though," The boy opened my mouth and put a red gummy bear in my mouth and closed and opened my mouth repeatedly. "Hey, so I can make you eat huh, that's so cool." The boy did this process about 5 times, it looked like he would never get tired of it. "I bet you have a lot of questions for me," I rolled my eyes up, " I'm goib to heal you now, that way we can have a proper conversation," The boy puts his hand on my head and it glows green, he hovers his hand over my body. "How do you feel now? Feel free to yell if you want to, this room is soundproof." "Ph-phank you," I say as struggled to get up and speak. "Ah, hold on a sec" The boy holds my head and it glows green again.
*Luke's POV* "Crap she's going to rat me out and when she does, my mother is as good as dead," I thought to myself. "It's all my fault why couldn't I have just done as I was told and stay under the bed. It's all because I couldn't wait to get to know her. I'm an idiot. *Karma's POV* "I was nervous that you guys would make me leave the room before checking it out," I lied to Kaname, I hoped he wouldn't figure that out. Kaname sighs "Sounds just like you, but how did you recover so fast?" "Uh, prayers," I said hoping he'd buy that. "Yeah, no that makes no sense, what're you hiding?" "Nothing, why would I need to hide anything?" "Aright then, I'll be back around dinner time to bring you something to eat alright," "Okay, thanks Kaname," "No problem" Kaname leaves the room closing the door behind him. Luke comes out from under the bed, looking at me with a surprised expression. "Why
"What do you mean he doesn't exist?!" I say sitting up on the bed. Luke looks around the room like he's looking for something."Just as I said, this brother you're looking for doesn't exist," Luke says as he lifts up a pile of books. "Ah, here it is," Luke picks out a piece of paper under the books and hands it to me."What's this?" I say taking the paper and looking at it."Read the paper, you're brother left it up here like 2 or 3 weeks ago. I naturally hid it to use as blackmail to get out of here but it's of no importance to your dad, he said so himself,""But how did he…" I say as I look down at the paper, which reads1. Trick Karma into searching for our "brother"2. Make sure she doesn't return3. Help Kami get the war"But why would he do this?" I say holding the paper tightly in my hands."Beats me but what're you going to do now?""What do you mean by that?""Well you've seen his plans so w
I stood there looking at Kaname, he sighed and said "Karma, I was going to tell yo-" "WHEN?! When would you have told me huh?! I knew it was suspicious the way she just left without saying anything to me first and the way I couldn't call or text her. How long were going to hide this from me?! Why didn't you tell me!?" I yelled at Kaname as I walked into the room, I wasn't planning on addressing the information Luke gave me but that and now this was too much. "I couldn't at the time," I pushed Kaname out of the way and looked down at Kami who sat on her bed, smirking at me. "How did you know?" I asked Kami, standing in front of her trying not to do anything I'd regret. "I was the cause of the sorry-ass state she's in, now that we're getting somewhere I wan-" I slapped Kami across her face before she could finish her sentence. "You're holding your own mother as a hostage to try and get something that isn't within your reach! Let my mother go,"
"I wonder if anything was left-back?" I say as I rummage through the fridge for something to eat."Probably not," Gem said standing behind me, idly watching."There's a bowl of fruits, a salad, and some apple juice. That's enough to last me about 2 days,""You plan on staying here for 2 days?" Gems ask me."Well, I can't go back to Father's place yet, the answer I want to give Kam will only endanger more people,""I'm surprised you're taking this so calmly,""Oh I was a mess before I completely lost it with Kaname. I want to save mom but I'd be putting everyone else at risk, and if I decide to take on the war then I lose the closest person to me,""And if you don't answer in the time given?""I assume Mom dies,""Why don't you save that decision for later, instead think of a way you can have both,""How am I going to have both?""Well if we happen to find a way to heal your mother without Kamiya finding out
"Yes, she has a few of the symptoms such as memory loss, headaches, and weakness in the limbs. The doctor said she's getting worse rapidly, Kami did say that she'd die after sunset on the third day of Karma didn't give her the war,""So what're you planning now?" I asked Kaname."Nothing,""Nothing?!" Sinn and I asked in shock."What do you mean nothing? You've always got something planned," Sinn said in disbelief at the situation."There's nothing I could plan, Karma's in a lose/lose situation. No matter what she chooses it'll be worse for anyone or everyone. Personally, I'd hate to say it but Karma should choose the war if we're looking at the bigger picture. Mother's death will affect her greatly but I know with time she'll be ok given time and it may even fuel the fire to find our sibling. Gem, she may hate me right now but relay this message to her,""I will but I don't think she'll listen though,""Thanks, I just hope one day sh
