File 14: Love, Family, Partings and Greetings

Ran is now conscious, and so are the other abducted girls.

The parents came to their side.

Ran broke up with Shinichi.

Aoko broke up with Kaito.

Reason?

Because it's too dangerous to be with them. This is too much. Life-threatening.

And so, they are left alone.

Ran moves in with Eri.

Aoko is alone.

Love is to part, I guess.

On the other hand, Kazami did a DNA test with Karma. There are matching DNAs in them. That provides that they are siblings.

Chiharu is finally conscious.

Everyone is happy at this point, some are sad. I mean, breakups.

Shinichi comes into Chiharu's room.

"Um... Hello, Chiharu."

"Hello, Shinichi-niisan. Breakups?"

"How do you know?"

"I just do. Kaito-niisan has a break up as well. Might as well comfort him. You both are on the same boat."

I am not gonna lie, Chiharu ships Shinichi with Kaito, too.

And also, she has feelings for Katsuki.

A warm feeling in her heart.

Is this what they call 'love'?

And so, Katsuki comes in, right after Shinichi goes out. Shinichi didn't notice her presence sneaking in.

"Chiharu, I-"

"I know you are mad at me for almost getting myself killed. And I know you love me. I do love you, too."

"How-"

"A hunch."

"Anyway, you have to rest and recover quickly. There will be a war at Camp Half-Blood."

"Okay, that is good to know."

To Hiro Rei

"Really, Kaito-san!? We are going to Paris?"

"Yeah. With Hakuba, Aoko, Akako, Nide and you."

"Thank you!"

"You don't need to thank me. We are friends, after all."

To Akakage

"By the way, Nagisa-san, there will be a new student transferring to your class. Shizue Sakura."

"What a great name for a girl," Karma joins in.

"Please don't be mistaken. He is a boy, and he has suffered from past trauma and bullying experience. Due to a horrible prank, he was unable to touch the water. He is quite timid when facing people, making him quite vulnerable, but he has good skills in assassination."

"How do you know that?"Magical asks.

"Because we have been training together for some time."

"He's a boy? Don't tell me he looks like a girl as well." Karma says.

"He does."

"Just like Nagisa, then."

"Yeah."

"We will make sure we take good care of him," Nagisa says.

"Thank you. And also, Nagisa-san and Karma-san."

"What is it?"

"Shizue will be transferred out before the school year finishes."

"Why is that?"

"Because he will be in Iwatobi High School. For swimming."

"What about the trauma?"

"Akatsuki and I will help with mental issues. I mean after Akatsuki finishes her mission, which is after the days that you will be spending with Shizue. Don't have to be worried about Shizue. He is a nice kid once he opens up."

"Good to know," Karma smirks.

"Thanks for listening."

"Stop being so formal! We were comrades once, friends with each other, right? Now we are holding a party. What do you say, Yukine-kun?" Karma puts his arm around Akakage's neck casually.

"Well, I might be okay with that. I am not sure."

"So cold..." Karma sighs, "You haven't changed at all, Yukine-kun..."

"Well, I didn't say I declined the offer. I am going."

"Yes!" Karma shouts in excitement.

When Karma calms down, he then says, "Do you love someone now?"

"I don't know what love is, but I do have someone in mind."

"How pretty is she?"

"First off, I'm gay; Second, I love red, and his eyes are red and he has the word Red in his name; Third, I like his personality."

"Well, there you have it! You love someone! Congrats!"

"And you love Nagisa-san."

"Yes, I do. How do you-"

"It's quite obvious."

"Oh, look at the time! We have to go." Nagisa says.

"Okay, Akira from B team didn't mind taking us to Nakamura's house. I guess we will be there on time."

"Let's go! What are we waiting for?" Karma smiles.

This story is nearly at the end.

I really enjoy writing this story and finishing the story, mostly because I wasn't able to finish any of my stories when I was younger. This will be an amazing accomplishment for me. It means a lot to me.

I guess it's a 'til next update!
