31: Unexpected Rias' Visit

Nagisa had those killer eyes on with a smile. Not the devious kind. The friendly kind. The kind which said ' tell me ok?'

Karma: oh ho. Scary.

Nagisa: what did she give you?

Karma: right... you could see everything from here.

Nagisa: hai.

Nagisa's eyes turned back to gentle ones as he took the ring from karma " I see... " Nagisa cleans the saliva with a handkerchief " she said she'll put it in her mouth afraid that those people will find out she have someone precious. She always worries things like that."

Rias: hmph. That's not something I want others to think. But again... I was living as your neighbor since karma, you're probably the smartest who can affect how things work in the class.

Karma: and what happened to that?

Rias: I was being forced out. That's what. The moment, Hiyuri was back in the picture, they wanted more than anything to get Hiyuri. She is both an obstacle and asset to use. Regenerative blood.

Nagisa clenches his fist " Hiyuri..."
