The Demon Within (Karma x Nagisa)

Chapter 7: The Demon Within

*Gasp*

Nagisa desperately tried to hold onto the last bit of air trapped in his throat. He made desperate attempts to breathe in but it was like the syringe had shut off all air from his lungs.

First his sense of touch vanished...it was like his whole body was numb.

Next to go was his hearing, he could no longer hear his uncle's words.

Then his sight.

Was he dead?

All of a sudden he saw a light, but he couldn't reach it. He desperately tried clasping continuously at it but it was almost like every time his hand reached out he slowly sank more and more into the back of his mind. Regardless, he couldn't stop. It was human nature to do everything he could to get out of the dark place he was falling into.

All of a sudden he felt a pinch almost like the prick of the needle being pulled out and he snapped back to reality. It was clear in the real world only around three seconds had passed but for Nagisa it felt like three hours of relentless grabbing at a light that wasn't even there.

He felt the chains that were binding him to the bed frame slowly grant him his freedom back. He thought his uncle was taking them off but when he looked to his right he could see his uncle slowly stepping back not out of fright but out of pure shock.

What was happening? 

Was he a ghost?

Is that why he could feel like chains slowly relieving his pale hands and feet?

All of a sudden Nagisa's uncle laid a great smile upon his face almost like he had achieved something great. Nagisa shot up almost instantaneously but didn't actually move a muscle. Yet he was now standing.

What was happening? Why couldn't he feel his body yet he could see it moving? Was this out of pure instinct?

Too many questions were running through his mind but he couldn't stop them.

Nagisa's uncle was still smiling and slowly removed his glasses to wipe the tears of joy that were currently flowing from his face.

"I- I did it...I actually did it." Grisha spoke in a faint whisper.

"Finally, the human race is saved. The human race can live on. I finally did it."

Nagisa still couldn't feel his body but he could see through his eyes as normal as they darted around the room to get a good glance of where he was and what was happening.

All of a sudden he began to walk forward towards Grisha.

He was still so confused about what was happening to him and what was in that syringe and most of all why his uncle was even doing this.

"Nagisa is that you? Are you actually controlling it? Are you actually still alive?" His uncle asked with pure shock and happiness.

"I knew you could do it, that's why I made you the first test subject of the Possession serum version 4.0."

"The possession serum?" Nagisa said in his thoughts, still being unable to even move his mouth.

He continued taking a few more slow steps toward his uncle before placing one hand on his chest and pushing him against the wall behind him, causing the light's to shake and making the windows shatter.

His uncle gasped.

Nagisa still couldn't control his body so he just had to watch as his uncle was thrown to the ground and kicked halfway across the room.

Finally Nagisa appeared behind his uncle, almost moving as fast as koro-sensei did. He grabbed Grisha's right arm and snapped his index finger back.

"AAARGGHHHH!" Grisha yelled out in pure agony.

Nagisa bit into the side of his uncle's neck before watching him drop to the ground in front of him. All of a sudden Nagisa snapped back into being himself and nearly fell to his knees before he realised he could control his body again.

"Uncle, what did you do to me?"

Nagisa watched his uncle's eyes roll back into his head as he watched acid eat Grisha's stomach away from inside out. It was so horrific he had to turn around. He had been through a lot of assassination training but still never killed someone, even if he wasn't in control of himself at the time. Sure, he killed koro-sensei but that wasn't out of hatred in fact it was what his teacher wanted, he knew it had to be done if they wanted the earth to survive.

When Nagisa was finally able to suppress his shock and fright he instantly called Karma.

"Karma."

"Nagisa, it's 12am. I told you never to call me before 3pm. I need my sleep." Karma said in a lazy voice.

"Karma I need you to come over right now, you remember my uncle's address from when we spoke to the police right?" Nagisa said, his voice wavering uncontrollably.

"Nine Shiganshina Lane, right?"

"Mm."

"Why has something happened?"

"I'll explain when you're here." Nagisa said before hanging up.

Karma instantly jumped out of bed and threw on an orange shirt and shorts, grabbing his key's and leaving the house.
