Lemme teach you what I had learnt in school, Math. duNDUNDUN idk why but a lot of people hate math. I LOVE MATH. I LOVE ALGEBRA.
It's so fun when you're in class and you're one of the few students who understands what the teacher is talking about because you had already learnt it beforehand.
ANYWAY

And btw, I'm pretty curious to find out where you guys are from. So comment if you can tell me :D
Isuju squealed at her phone. Apparently someone had snapped a picture of her kiss with Karma and upload it on Instagram with the caption of 'urgh, couples kissing. I know it's Christmas but please take it somewhere else. #ew'
Obviously, she ignored the caption and screenshot the picture. She saved it and cropped out the border, leaving only the picture. She had been staring at it for half an hour now.
It was currently 12 o'clock in the afternoon.
She let go of her phone onto her bed and laid down. Her head turned to the side, looking at the calendar on her desk.
25th December was circled and words were written there. 'Christmas and Karma's Birthday.'
A series of vulgarities went through her head. She cursed at herself. How could she be so forgetful and forget his birthday?
She immediately picked up her phone and texted Karma.
Isuju: HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYYYYY I'M SOOOOO SORRY I FORGOT
Karma: Oh you remember now?
Karma: I was dropping so many hints yesterday at the carnival :/
Isuju: I'm realllllly sorry :(
Karma: Then give me a present
Karma: and make it extremely good and expensive
Isuju: oh coME oN
Isuju: (ﾉಥ益ಥ）ﾉ ┻━┻
Karma: ( T_T)＼(^-^ )
Karma: >:D
Isuju: fine.
Isuju: what do you want
Karma: It's for you to think. It's my birthday after all
Karma: Can you meet up on New Year's?
Isuju: yup
Isuju: My sister is probably busy so why not
Karma: okayyy
Karma: see you then ;)
Karma: ttyl, I gotta go
Isuju: byeee
And Karma went offline. It somehow feels more comfortable around Karma.
'Okay, I'll go shopping on 30th December,' Isuju thought,' what could last minute shopping ever do to me?'
30th December
Isuju decided to let her hair down instead of having it up. It was winter and she wanted to keep as warm as possible.
She took her sling bag and headed out to the city area.
The city area in Tokyo was packed with people. Isuju barely had space to put her foot down. She squeezed her way to a nearby store.
The store sold all kinds of collectibles. Glass globes, keychains, posters etc. You name it, they have it. Isuju craned her neck to read a poster on the wall. It said:
Are the normal kinds of glass globes too boring for you?
Customize your own glass globes! You can put any thing you want inside while we fill it up with water for you!
Just make anything you want out of waterproof play dough and give it to us!
Isuju immediately felt happy. She had wanted to make one for Karma, but then a small number at the corner of the poster caught her eye.
All only for only 8705 yen!
8700 yen was exactly how much she earned while working at Rui's shop for the past three weeks. Which means that if she bought that, she would go broke immediately and won't be able to have lunch for the next few days. Her sister, Irina, had apparently forgot to send her money for the month. Also, she was short of 5 yen.
"I'll pay that for you if you can't afford it," a person said beside her. Isuju turned her head towards the voice.
"Kaneki," Isuju swallowed her saliva," Why are you even here?"
"Following you of course, I'm not going to let you go after looking everywhere for you," Kaneki smiled.
"You didn't change much for your personality," Isuju sighed," but you dyed your hair white."
"Yea, so it matches your hair," Kaneki hugged her," you've become even more beautiful, I've missed you so much, don't you know that?"
She felt like she was being squeezed into a corner. She couldn't breathe. Kaneki had really scarred her badly. She felt the way she did a few years ago. His cold breathe was on her neck.
"No, so get off me, I need to do some shopping for a friend's birthday," Isuju used all her might to push him away, but to no avail.
"Is your friend a male or a female? If it is a female then I'll lend you money. You're short of money, am I right?"
Karma
Karma's father, Sasori Akabane, was in town since the 26th of December. He had wanted to stay with him until the 1st day of the next year but due to some business problems, he had to leave for another country on the 31st.
He had brought Karma to the city area in Tokyo for dinner. After dinner, they both strolled around the city area.
They happened to stop by a collectibles shop as Karma was interested in the small hand held knifes that were in the display case.
Karma went into the shop and picked up a knife on display. He fiddled with it, he then held it straight, checking for the price tag.
He looked at the reflection of the blade. It showed Kaneki hugging Isuju.
Karma gritted his teeth, a wave of anger overcame him as he swung the knife behind him. Kaneki dodge in time while still hugging Isuju.
"You dodged that well," Karma retracted his hand.
"What did you do that for," Kaneki ordered him to answer.
"I wanted to test the knife out, is that wrong?" Karma played with the knife skillfully in his hands, twirling it in his hands.
He finally cane to a stop and held the knife by Kaneki's cheek. The blade was on his cheek, and Karma was ready to slide the knife so that the cut on Kaneki's face would appear.
Kaneki loosened his grip on Isuju, she took the chance to slip away and take a step back.
"Well, that is indeed a dangerous way to test out a knife," Kaneki scoffed," especially when you're an amateur."
"So you're saying that you're a professional at using knives to harm people?" Karma taunted him. He had wanted to get on his nerves, which was easy for him to do. Because, well, he's Karma Akabane.
"I have fought with a blade countless times," Kaneki said," and I have killed people before. So before you try to taunt me into doing anything, think first."
Karma saw that Isuju was signaling him to stop, and as usual, he ignored her.
"Karma, what are you doing?" Sasori asked as he peered over to look at Karma with a knife in his hand.
"Oyaji."
That's his father? He looks so young. Isuju was amazed. Karma's father looked like a 20 year old.
"Nothing much," Karma shrugged," just testing whether this knife is light enough."
"Excuse me," Kaneki spoke," please take care of your child properly, he had almost swung that knife into me."
"That's not my problem, it has nothing to do with me, he's responsible for whatever he does," Sasori said and walked away, but before he went off, he told Karma," I'm going home first, stay as long as you want."
Karma smiled and nodded. He then turned back to Kaneki.
"What kind of father does that?" Isuju muttered in shock. She then picked herself up and went behind Karma. She whispered to him softly so that Kaneki couldn't hear.
"Let's go, I don't want you to mix with him," Isuju tugged Karma's arm.
"I never listen to what you say, what makes you think I'll start now?" Karma said with his usual smiling face.
"Isuju, you know him?" Kaneki asked in disbelief.
"Of course she knows me," Karma butted in," she definitely remembers the person who kissed her on Christmas."
"Isuju, you've moved on haven't you?" Kaneki sighed as he shifted his gaze to Isuju," we've been apart for too long."
"And I'm happy about it," Isuju replied and turned around, heading for the exit," please stop following me."
Kaneki then changed his attitude straight after she left, he gripped Karma's shirt and growled," she's mine so leave her alone."
"Sounds like she doesn't want to be yours," Karma placed his hand on Kaneki's wrist and squeezed it," she's already mine."
"Ano... Excuse me," the cashier spoke up," could you please take this elsewhere? Don't fight in the shop."
Kaneki looked at the cashier who approached them and let go of his grip on Karma," excuse me, who are you to order me around? I do what I want to do."
"Sounds like somebody is a spoiled rich kid, he expects everything to go his way," Karma teased him.
Kaneki raised his right fist and brought it down on Karma. Karma merely shifted his head aside and grabbed his wrist. He tightened his grip on Kaneki's wrist.
Karma Akabane was indeed very strong, but he wasn't strong enough to make Kaneki waver because of physical pain.
The tables turned and Kaneki hooked his right leg with Karma's left leg. They both fell onto the floor with Kaneki pinning Karma onto the floor.
Kaneki sat on Karma's legs down with his own so that Karma wouldn't be able to use his legs to fight. He also used his left leg to pin down Karma's right hand.
That way, Karma's four limbs were occupied.
Kaneki picked up the knife on the floor which Karma had dropped.
Karma spat out the mint he had in his mouth into Kaneki's face to distract him and to annoy him further.
Now, Kaneki was pissed off. He wanted to grab Karma's head and just jam it into the wall. But the law prevented him for doing so.
He would rather slowly kill him when no one was watching than kill him with one hit and he would get in trouble with the police.
"What? Can't hit me?" Karma asked," well then, it's my turn to make a move."
Karma turned Kaneki over. Due to the sudden change, Kaneki lost his grip on Karma and Karma broke free.
Karma quickly tied his hands up and leaned him up against the wall.
Due to Karma's devilishly smart mind, Kaneki was left there with wasabi up his nose, white chili in his mouth, and a centipede taped to his forehead and dangling between his eyes.
