"Waaaaa" the baby cries.
You took deep breaths, "Zander... My baby...?" you ask as you were sweating and exhausted.
"Congratulations, it's a baby boy," Zander tells you.
"A boy? I have a son?" you ask.
"Yes, here," Zander says as he hands ou your baby. You look at your baby boy. You were even crying. He has red hair, just like his father. "Do we have a name?" Zander asks.
"Ryu... Ryu Akaki Amoljot Karasuma," you tell him as you kiss your baby's forehead.
"It's a beautiful name," Zander tells you and, you smile with a nod.
-3 Months Later-
"You may now kiss the bride," the priest says.
James grabs Okuda by her waist and pulls her in and then kisses her and everyone claps.
Today was James and Okuda Wedding day. You were one of Okuda's bride maids and at the audience, where he was... Karma Akabane. James didn't invite him but he was Nagisa's plus one.
Okuda told Karma that you asked for a week off work so that you can come here from Korea just for there wedding day. Karma still thinks you live in Korea.
Ryu was here as well, but he was wearing a small hat that covers his red hair but there was something else he had that resembles Karma. His eyes. Not did Ryu have the same hair colour that his father has, he also has his eye colour.
The nice thing about this is that Ryu is always sleeping and Irina was taking care of him. Whenever someone asked about Ryu, you, James, Okuda, Karasuma and Irina was able to dodge the question and change the subject.
Your seat was far away from Karma and you still want nothing to do with him. Everyone was acually having fun. You and Karma didn't talk at all and if he tried getting close to you, someone was there to separate you.
"Alright, it's time gentleman!" James says. All the guys get ready. Okuda sits down on the chair and James takes something off her leg. She was blushing so bright when James was taking it off. James then looks at the boys. "Alright, you boys ready?" James ask.
"Yeah!!" they yell.
James shows his back to the boys and gets ready to throw it, "Alright, one! two! And... Three," James says as he throws it. He turns around and sees that Karma caught it. It wasn't really surprising, he was the tallest.
"Now the girls!" Kayano yells and the girls get ready.
"(Name), go," Irina tells you.
"No, why don't you?" you tell her.
"Because I'm married," she tells you with a coy smile.
"(Name), come on," Kayano says as she grabs your arm and brings you in. You stand with the others and you smile as you roll your eyes. If you do end up catching it, it would mean that you and Karma have to dance together.
"A-Alright! One... Two... And three!" Okuda says as she throws her bouquet. It was handing towards you and instead of catching it, you smacked it away from you and let some other girls catch it.
You were not going to dance with Karma. You know dang well that if you slow dance with Karma, you'll fall for him. You just can't let that happen.
-1 Year Later-
"So are you going or not?" you hear Karasuma says through the door.
"Yes! Yes!" you hear Irina says.
"Then go get ready!" Karasuma tells her.
"Sir, with pleasure!" Irina says as she opens the door and then runs out.
You smile at the way she was, "You know, you can show that you do worry about her," you tell Karasuma with a smile as you walk in his office. You were wearing a beautiful flowery dress and your hair was long but it was tied up. You were also holding a special someone.
"(Name)? Shouldn't you be at home?" Karasuma asks you.
"Yeah, but Ryu wanted to see his grandpa," you say as you show Karasuma Ryu who is smiling cheerfully.
Ryu is now two years old. You were also now 22 years old. You were still pretty young but you were going great and Ryu was the best thing that ever happened to you.
"Tada-pop!" Ryu says as he raises his arms to Karasuma. You walk to Karasuma and let him hold him.
"Hey, Ryu," Karasuma says as he holds Ryu, "Don't you have that reunion today?" Karasuma asks you.
He was talking about a reunion that is going to take place at E-Class. Not everyone was going sadly so you not showing up was won't worry anyone and plus you didn't want to take the risk of running into Karma. You know he has that important interview but still.
You were happy with how things are now. You look at the window and look at the beautiful view. I wonder how things are with him... you wonder. "Mama! Mama!" Ryu says.
"Here, he wants his mother now," Karasuma says as he hands you your son.
"Miss me already Ryu?" you ask him with a smile, "Well, I just came by to say Hi," you tell him.
"You're not going, are you?" Karasuma ask.
"Nope!" you tell him with a bright smile.
-10 Years Later-
"Dad, the report," you say as you give Karasuma the report you made.
Karasuma reads it, "This is excellent work," he tells you.
Your hair was now a chest length and you still look young. And a lot of things happen during these 10 years. A lot of your friends got married and you, of course, went to their wedding and so did Ryu.
Karma was also there but you did your best to avoid him and for him to see Ryu. You were able to continue keeping this secret from Karma and things have been going well.
Ring Ring
Your phone starts ringing, "Sorry," you say as you take your phone out and answer, "Amoljot Karasuma," you say on the phone. "What? Yes, Yes. Yes, I'll be there," you say on the phone and hang up.
"Ryu?" Karasuma asks as he continues to read your report.
"Ryu," you tell him.
"Go," he tells you and you nod. You then rush to Ryu's school.
Once you got there, you head to the office. Once walked in, you saw the principal looking all serious and Ryu sitting in front of him with bruises on his face and ripped clothes, "What happened?" you ask.
"Ryu got into a serious fight with one of his classmates, again," the principal tells you.
You look at your son and see him looking the other way. He didn't look well. He really looks really badly beaten up. "Where's the other kid?" you ask him.
"At the hospital right now," he tells you.
"Hospital?" you question.
"Yes, broken arm. The parents are going to press charges against this and we just can't have this behaviour any longer," the principal tells you.
"I... I'm sorry. I'll take care of everything, please, just give Ryu another chance," you ask him.
"Miss Amoljot Karasuma, this is the 7th time this has happened--"
"I know, please, just one and I promise this will be the last time this ever happens," you ask him.
The principal takes a deep breath and looks at you and then at your son, "Alright but this is the last," he tells you and you get up.
"Yes, thank you," you tell him, "Ryu, let's go," you tell him. He gets up and follows you to the car. You didn't say anything to him on the way to the car. Ryu got a little anxious about your reaction. He can't tell what your feeling right now and it's scaring him.
You got in the car and Ryu got in the back seat. It was quiet for a while, you didn't even put in the key or anything. Ryu looks at you and he gets anxious, "He started it..." Ryu tells you.
"You're 12 Ryu, 12. I showed you how to self defend yourself, not to use those moves on your classmates," you tell him as you turn around to look at him.
"But--"
"No buts Ryu. You broke his arm. Just... What happened?" you ask him.
"He... He was harassing Nena and he started talking about how I don't have a... dad," he tells you looking down.
"Ryu..." you sigh, "I understand why you did it for Nena but your father? Ryu--"
"I'm sorry, okay!" he yells.
"I... I know, I haven't told you must about your father but that's just because, I... It's not an easy subject to talk about--"
"But mom! I--"
"But!... But I guess you're old enough to know now," you tell him.
"Really?" he asks and you nod, "Then... Then can I know why he left us?" Ryu asks.
Your eyes widen, "He... He didn't leave us, Ryu... Um... You know what? Let's just go home, we can talk about it when we get there but how about getting ice cream on our way there and putting some ice on your face," you tell him.
Ryu smiles brightly, "K!" he says.
"Wanna sit in the front seat?" you say him with a smile.
"Yeah!" he says as he moves up to the front seat with you.
While driving, your son point something out, "Hey, mom?" your son says getting your attention.
"Yeah?"
"Do I look more like Karma Akabane the Bureaucrat or Yukihira Soma the World best Chief?" your son asks you which almost made you crash your car.
"W-What?" you ask him wondering if you heard him right.
"Do I look like Karma Akabane or Yukihira Soma?" he asks.
"W-Why do you ask?" you ask him as you try to keep your cool.
"Well, the girls in my class go crazy whenever they see a picture of Yukihira Soma. Not only is he the world's best chef but to the girls opinion he's also the cutest but there was this one girl who said that when she turned on the TV, the news was on and when she was trying to get to Netflix, she saw Karma Akabane on the news and when she showed pictures, everyone just went crazy and then Nena compared them to me," Ryu tells you.
"Comparing?" you question.
"Well, I'm a redhead and there both redhead, I have golden eyes and they have golden eyes. Nena said that I look like them so I was wondering if I did and if I did, which one?" Ryu ask you.
"Oh, um, well, if I said to pick, I would say you look more like... Yukihira Soma," you tell him with a smile.
"Yeah, I thought so as well," Ryu says calmly.
-Time Skip-
"Ow! Mom," Ryu says in pain.
"Well, It's your karma for getting into a fight," you tell him.
"Why can you fight and I can't?" Ryu ask you.
"Because I fight to protect and I know when to stop," you tell him.
"Mom, I... I didn't mean to break his arm," Ryu tells you honestly.
"I know, baby, I know, but you have to learn how to control yourself," you tell him.
"I'm sorry..." he tells you.
You take a deep breath, "You want to know something about me, red?" you ask your son. Ryu looks at you wondering what you're going to tell him. You then raise your sleeve and show your son the bandages that were around your wrist.
"Your bandages? What about them?" Ryu asks.
"You know how I put them on every morning right? Have I ever shown you what was behind them?" you ask him.
"No," he tells you. You take them off and show your scars to your son, "Mom!" your son says with so much concern.
"You have nothing to worry about, they're all old. It actually started when I was around your age... Do you remember we use to go to all those doctors appointments, you know to see Zander when you were a kid? Whether you were sick or not?" you ask him.
"Yeah," he says.
"Well, as a kid, I was suffering a Cancer that has never existed before and because you were my son, I was worried that you may have received it so that was the reason why we would always go see Zander to see if you had it or not but I have never been so glad that you had inherited your father's... DNA... These scars were because of my suffer..." you tell him.
"Mom..." he says.
"You know your papa Tada and your mama Iri? Well, they aren't my real parents. My real parents passed away right in front of me. I lost them and papa Tada took me in. Your uncle James... Well, he isn't my real brother, he's adopted because he also lost his parents and mine took him in. When I was 7... I was raped... I was sort of in a dark place..." you tell your son.
"Mom..." he says as he was about to cry.
"As a kid, everyone left me because, after my parent's death, James left, papa Tada also left me and I was completely alone but then there was a target and the price for his death was huge so I thought, why not? It might be fun, killing the strong, showing that I'm not worthless but then I met your father..." you tell him.
"Dad?" he questions.
"Yes, I remember it as if it was yesterday. He was sitting at the back, the redhead with the goldfish eye staring at me with a smile. I didn't really plan on making friends, instead, I was planning on using them and playing around with them as my puppets. I decided to ditch, your father found me and we ditched class together," you tell him.
You look at your son and he was in shock but you continued, "I fell for him and he fell for me as well but because I was in such a dark place, I couldn't see it... No, I could, I was just too terrified that he would use me... play me like the other guys in my past and once he was bored he would leave me," you tell him.
"Did he leave you?!" Ryu asks angrily.
"No! Ryu! Just listen... I... Your father and I... We... I just don't want you to hate him even if you have never met him," you tell him.
"No, mom! You have cuts on your wrist! You tell me you were raped at the age of 7! You then tell me that my uncle is not really my uncle! You then tell me that your parents died in front of you! You then tell me everyone left you! Oh! I almost forget, you also told me that you had some Cancer! You were suffering as a kid and..." you son starts to cry, "And to make things worst, my good for nothing father left you alone... left you all alone with me... He left you with the burden of taking care of me..."
"No! Ryu! You're the best thing that has ever happened to me!" you tell him as you hug him and he hugs you back. You broke the hug and look at your son as you wipe his tears, "Having you was the absolute best thing that has ever happened to me. Ryu, you are not and I repeat, you are not a burden, you are my son and I love you," you tell him.
"I love you too mom..." he says with a weak smile.
"Wait here," you tell him as you went to get an album. You then walk to Ryu with the album, "You never saw your father before so here," you tell Ryu as you show him a picture of your graduation of Kunugigaoka Junior High.
"Your hair..."
"Yeah, I survive my small Cancer so my hair started growing," you tell him.
"Is that my father?" Ryu asks as he looks at Karma.
"Yes, this photo was taken on his and my graduation of Junior high," you tell him.
"I look just like him..." Ryu says.
"Ryu..."
"Mom! I look just like that bastard!" Ryu says angrily.
"Ryu!"
"Why do I look like that bastard?"
"Ryu! He's your father! You looking like him is perfectly normal," you tell him.
"Why couldn't I just look like you?" Ryu asks.
"Ryu..."
"What's his name? Where is her now? Can I meet him?" Ryu asks.
"Ryu... I..." you don't want to tell him but you feel like you should.
"Forget it, mom... I don't even want to know the father that left you," Ryu tells you.
"Wait... You're... You're not angry with me?" you ask him.
"Angry...? Mom, you hid all of this from me for 10 years... but... But you taught me that when someone's hiding a secret, I shouldn't get angry because they hid something but try to understand why you did it and I understand, mom... You were scared..." Ryu says.
You hug him, "Man... How did I get so lucky to have a son like you," you wonder with a smile.
"Mom...?" You look at Ryu, "From now on, I'll do good. I'll fight to protect and most of all, I'm going to protect you. I won't let anyone hurt you," Ryu tells you.
You smile and pat his head, "My Hero..."
-Time Skip-
Ring Ring
"Amoljjot Karasuma speaking," you say as you answer your phone as you give Ryu his dinner.
"Drinks? I can't, I have Ryu," you tell the person on the phone.
"Mom?" Ryu says.
"Give me a second," you say on the phone.
"Who's on the on the phone?" Ryu asks.
"James, he's inviting me to go out drinking with him and a couple of other friends, I'm trying to tell him that I can't go," you tell Ryu.
"No, go," he tells you.
"Ryu, I can stay, we can have our movie night," you tell him.
"No, go have fun, you deserve it, mom," Ryu tells you.
"Um, okay," you say and then tell James you were going. You then face Ryu as you put your phone back in your pocket, "Well, looks like you're going to spend the night at the Tsukishima's," you tell him.
"The night?" Ryu asks.
"Your uncle and I, we sort of go crazy when it comes to drinking so there may be a possibility that I won't be driving home tonight," you tell him
"So I get to hang out with Nena?" Ryu asks.
"Yeah," you tell him with a smile.
-With Karma-
"You're getting a transfer, congrats man," Karma tells Nagisa.
"Yeah, becoming a teacher like Koro-sensei isn'T as easy as he made it be but teaching is really fun," Nagisa tells him.
"How are the kids?" Karma asks him.
"Aguri and Koro have the same energy as there mother," Nagisa says with a small laugh.
"Six years you and Akari have been together," Karma points out.
"Yeah but Karma, when are you going to settle down?" Nagisa asks him.
"Settle down? Please, me? My days of wanting to settle down are already over," Karma tells him.
"It's been 10 years Karma, you've seen her in person a couple of times but you never talked to her," Nagisa says.
"I hurt her Nagisa, I don't even have an excuse or an explication for what happened that night. Nagisa, I slept with some other girl and that's something that I shouldn't be forgiving for," Karma tells him.
"Karma..."
"You know, I would give anything to see her again... To hold her one last time. I was a coward for not saying anything to her all those time I've seen her but the next time I see her, I... I'll talk to her and tell her how sorry I am... Just two minutes will do..." Karma tells him.
Ring Ring
"Sorry," Nagisa says as he picks up his phone.
"What? (Name) is going to be there?" Nagisa asks and Karma looks at him and then takes the phone from him.
"Where and when?" Karma asks.
-Time Skip-
"Now that hit the spot!" James says as he takes another drink.
"Let's take another shot!" Kayano says.
"Yeah!" you say.
You, James and Kayano already had too much to drink. "This is why you don't let them drink unsupervised," Sugino says with a laugh as he takes a sip of his beer.
"Akari, I think you should slow it down," Nagisa says as he was concern about his wife.
"Tomohito..." Kanzaki says as she puts her head on her husband shoulders. She was also out of it. She had a little too much to drink as well.
After a while, Karma joined. He walked in and everyone was already drunk, well not everyone. Nagisa, Sugino and Okuta were still good enough to progress things. "What the hell is he doing here!?" James says drunkenly.
"I'm here because Nagisa invites me," Karma tells him.
"You, sir!" James says getting up and walking to Karma, "You lost the best thing in your life," James tells him with a laugh.
"James," Okuda calls him.
"Manami, baby," he says as he goes to her and hugs her, "I love you, you know that right, I love you and our precious adorable little children," James tells her.
"I love you too, James," she tells him.
"How about we make more babies?" James says with a smirk.
"J-James!" Okuda says with a blush.
"K-Karma is here?" you say as you raise your head from the table.
"H-Hey," he says looking at you.
You get up and walk up to him, "You! You have a lot of balls to come here, you... You sexy sadist wonderfully handsome with a huge cock Motherfucker!" you tell him all drunkenly.
"Um, thank you?" Karma says, "Are you drunk?" Karma asks you.
"No, I'm not!" you tell him.
"Well, um... It's good to see you," he says.
"Oh shut up already! How dare you leave me alone!" you tell him.
"I--" he was cut off by you hugging him. "(N-Name)?"
"Do you have any idea how much I've missed you?" you ask him.
"(Name)..." Karma says as he was careful about touching you, he then looks at everyone, "I know I just come but I'm going to take (Name) home, she's already drunk," Karma says and then leaves with you.
Okuda leaves James alone for a moment and follows Karma outside, "Karma, (Name) she--"
"You don't have to worry, I'm only taking care of a drunk person," Karma tells her and she nods and goes back inside to her husband.
Karma takes you back to his place because he asked where you lived but you wouldn't give him your address so he took you to his place instead. He brings you in and helps you take off your shoes, "You can take the bed, I'll sleep on the couch," Karma tells you
"Karma...?" you say as you grab his shirt.
He looks at you wondering what you needed, "I should get you some water," Karma tells you.
"Wait! Don't leave me... I... I'm sorry I left you..." you tell him.
Karma hugs you, "No, it was my mistake and I regret it every day... I understand why you left me... I'm so sorry," Karma tells you.
"Karma!" you say as you start to cry.
Karma looks at you and you look back at him and you grab him by his shirt and kiss him.
