English isn't my mother language. Please understand for any errors.

I'm back, everyone! I'm actually surprised that I've gotten more and more followers. Thank you everyone! Thank you for waiting! And thanks again to the lovely reviews. I'm glad that you people still give me positive reviews. This drabble is nothing without you!

So, here's the story. It's Magician AU where Nagisa is a magician, Kayano as his assistant, and Koro-sensei as their teacher. I don't feel really good with this fanfic, because I made this half-heartedly. Why? Probably because I was too focused on my school program that I almost had no time to continue writing. But I still love NagiKae, so I force myself.

Whatever. At least I fulfill my promise!

Enough rambling. Now please enjoy~

Sketch 5: Fan Letter

Once upon a time, in a magical assassination world, there was a talented magician who held a magic show. His name was Nagisa. He was famous with his assassination tricks when he did magic. And also, he was famous with his code name 'Gender'.

Nagisa's magic show was always fantastic. Therefore, no one in the magical assassination world wanted to be left behind. Everybody came to the magic show.

It was held at night. The audience had already waited for Nagisa. The place was crowded. The people's chatters were buzzing. They couldn't wait for Nagisa.

In the meantime, somewhere in the backstage, a huge yellow slimy creature with its wide grin approached the bluenette magician. A sack of letter was gripped in its tentacles.

"Nagisa-kun, this is the letters from today," said the creature. He is Nagisa's teacher that taught Nagisa until he became a professional magician.

Nagisa accepted the letters and examined it, tried to find a certain letter. "Umm… Is that letter here?"

"Do you mean the letter without address?" Koro-sensei asked, followed by Nagisa's nod.

"Yeah. That letter always encourages me everytime I want to start a magic show."

"I think it is somewhere below. Anyway, aren't the other letters encouraging you too?"

Nagisa smiled wryly. "I know. But that letter is somewhat different. It's…magic."

"While the other letters was showing their love and encouraging me, that letter was giving me suggestions on everything I'm lacking," he added. "I love letters like that. The writer treats me as an equal human."

Koro-sensei's grin got wider. He snatched the sack and swiftly searched the letter. When he found a bright yellow envelope without address, he stopped and handed it to Nagisa.

"If that's so, then to read this letter is a must."

Nagisa smiled. He accepted it and unsealed the envelope. Koro-sensei ruffled his hair. "After reading that letter, prepare your best for your ninth magic show."

"You have 15 minutes. Oh, where is Kayano?" Koro-sensei asked before leaving.

"I don't know. Maybe she is late." Nagisa shrugged.

"Again?"

Nagisa shrugged again. And then Koro-sensei left. Nagisa focused back to the envelope. He took out the letter and unfolded it. He tried to find any trace that could identify the writer. But it was impossible.

Dear, Shiota Nagisa

I'm very excited to know that your ninth magic show is coming! I'll wait for sure!

Shiota-san, thanks for being here. Your existence really is everything. You don't know how happy I am that you finally hold a magic show again! I maybe not your anything, but I feel very proud of you. I want to tell the world about you.

Hey beautiful world, look here. There is an amazing magician who cares deeply to people. He helps people to live. He is nice. He is kind. He is tender. And he doesn't have a bad look. He is quite good looking for me. He is cute. And most of all, he can do magic. World, put him under your spotlight. He deserves more than just this anonymous letter.

Shiota-san, for future shows, I think you should be friendlier towards the audience. Smile, Shiota!

I hope I didn't babble too much. Thank you for reading this letter.

Sincerely, Y. A.

Nagisa smiled because that was what that letter asked him. He slipped the letter back to the envelope. Right when he finished, someone opened the backstage door abruptly. He turned to it, and found his green-haired assistant.

"Am I late?" Kayano asked, panted. Nagisa smiled and nodded.

"Very late."

"Ups, sorry," Kayano widened her eyes in guilt. She caught a glimpse at the envelope in Nagisa's hand. She suddenly beamed.

"Ooh! You already collected the letters! I was upset when I found your mailbox was empty!" Kayano exclaimed.

"Koro-sensei collected it. And actually, I'm glad that he gave it before I start the show," Nagisa replied.

"Speaking of which, Kayano…" Koro-sensei emerged behind Kayano. "You have 5 minutes to change."

"Oh right! I have to change clothes! I'll be back, everyone!" Kayano exclaimed again and rushed to the closet. Koro-sensei turned to Nagisa. His yellow face slowly turned pink.

"I've prepared a special costume for her," he said, showing off his wide grin. Seeing this, something started to disturb Nagisa…..

O

"…"

"Nurufufufu…"

"I'm done changing!" Kayano showed up. She dropped her bag and walked towards Koro-sensei. "I never thought that you'd buy a new costume! Honestly, it's uncomfortable but well, this is for job after all!"

Nagisa couldn't help but sighed. He suddenly drew his anti-sensei knife and calmly tried to stab him. Koro-sensei panicked and quickly flew away. Nagisa turned to Kayano.

She was wearing a bunny girl costume –and it was showing too much skin. Nagisa understand that Kayano didn't mind with it. But he did.

"Kayano. Go change," he scolded her. Kayano frowned, didn't understand.

"But we don't have much time le–"

"Change."

Kayano scowled. "What should I wear?"

Nagisa bit his bottom lip for a brief moment. And then he clicked his tongue. "Wear anything but this."

Kayano smiled at him. "Okay, Nagisa-kun!" She exclaimed. "Oh, one question please?" She suddenly asked.

"Go on."

"What'll you do with the letters?"

Nagisa stared at the sack of letters in his grip. And then he shrugged doubtfully. "I don't know. Maybe…err…. I'll throw it after reading it. Well, um, I don't mean to underestimate it but it'll take too much space if I keep it….."

Kayano's eyes shone a slight disappointment. But then she patted Nagisa's with a kind smile and then she walked to the closet.

Nagisa stared at her back. A thought started to linger in his head.

O

Nagisa held his magic show for a week. The first day was success. And this time was the morning in the second day.

He was still eating breakfast when he practiced his magic tricks. He had just woken up. He didn't tie his messy hair. And no, he hadn't taken a bath.

Last night, he practiced for that day's show until it was very late. Yes, he was very tired, and it ruined his mood today. Nevertheless, he was comforted a bit by his unusually luxurious and sweeter breakfast.

He didn't make it. Not with his ruined mood. Kayano took the effort to come to his house at 5 in the morning and started to cook while Koro-sensei was trying to wake him up. And then, there they were in Nagisa's dining room. Nagisa and Kayano, both with their hair down, also Koro-sensei, were having breakfast.

"Nagisa, you're not quick enough. If you do it that way, the audience will know your trick," Koro-sensei commented and swiftly tidied Nagisa's practice tools.

"Okay, sensei. I'll try once again."

Kayano observed them while eating. She sometimes laughed when Nagisa made stupid mistakes. But she also advised him to do the magic tricks better.

When her plate was finally empty, she stood up and washed her hands. After drying them, she didn't sit back on her seat. She went out instead.

Nagisa noticed Kayano's sudden change of face when she finally came back. She seemed happy, and she was grinning stupidly. Both Koro-sensei and Nagisa stared at her. She hummed while tidying the dishes.

"Kayano, where were you going?" Nagisa asked directly. Kayano stopped doing her activity and looked up.

"Just to the front," she answered. The grin remained on her face.

"What were you doing?" Koro-sensei asked.

"Just checking the mailbox."

Nagisa and Koro-sensei glanced at each other.

"Really?"

"Was there any letter there?"

Kayano nodded and walked away to wash the dishes. Nagisa stared at her curiously. "Koro-sensei," he called.

"You checked the mailbox this morning, right?" he turned his head and asked.

"Yes, I did."

"Was that letter there?"

"No."

Nagisa got up from his seat. He walked to the front door and opened it. He approached his mailbox and checked it. There were lots of letters, but there was only one envelope that caught his eyes. A bright yellow envelope.

He grinned and took the letter. He flipped it several times to check for address. And he found nothing. Empty. Blank. Clean. It's that letter.

He slipped the letter to his pocket. And then he collected the other letters.

Nagisa sat on the terrace and dropped the letters. He read them one by one. He saved some long letters to read it later. After that, he took the bright yellow envelope from his pocket and unsealed it.

Dear, Shiota Nagisa

Yesterday show was fascinating! Thank you, Shiota-san. It was tiring, wasn't it? But didn't you feel satisfied after that superb applause? I'm happy that people still admire you.

Nagisa smiled. This was what he liked from the writer. The writer was caring and attentive. It felt like the writer was somewhere near Nagisa.

He frowned when he continued reading the next paragraph.

Yesterday, I wore a comfortable outfit, thanks to you. Because of that, I could do my best on my job. I can't imagine how I'd look like if I kept using the uncomfortable outfit.

It was odd. But it enlightened Nagisa somehow.

Shiota-san, can you encourage the audience before or after the show? I'd be very glad if your audiences aren't desperate people. You can be a savior! You know that people have their own problems. If someone they admire encourages them, they'd be really joyful. And isn't it good to save someone from suicide?

That's it, Shiota-san. Thank you for reading this entirely. I'm pleased. Sorry if I rambled too much.

Regards, Y. A.

O

It was already the fourth day. Nagisa got busier and busier. That day, he didn't get the anonymous letter. Yesterday neither. Nagisa felt down.

It was already night. Even though he felt discouraged, the magic show was still success. He was sitting in the backstage, still wearing his magician costume. There was a paper laid in front of him. He twiddled the pen in his fingers.

He intended to write a letter for the anonymous writer. Nonetheless, he still hadn't thought about how to send it.

He reread the letter he had already written.

Dear, Y. A.

I was happy when I read your letters. They encouraged me more than the others. I'm very grateful, thank you.

But I didn't receive your letter these past two days. I'm worried. Especially after the last letter you sent. You said something about suicide, right? I'm sorry to be blunt but I'm very concerned that you might do that.

I usually throw the fan letters away to save space in my storage. But I didn't to yours. I send you your three other letters to prove it.

So please. Prove me that you're still here. Send me anything. I'm sorry that I'm forcing you. But please.

And you can call me Nagisa.

Sincerely, Shiota Nagisa.

Nagisa pursued his lips. He was still thingking of how to send the letter.

If the writer didn't write a single address, it means the writer didn't send the letters via post. Does it mean the writer put the letter in my mailbox?

Nagisa stared at his letter. Then he wrote 'For Y. A.' on the envelope.

And at night, he put the letter in his mailbox.

O

The fifth day, Nagisa held the show in the morning and it ended at noon. The rest of the day was free time for him.

After he had lunch, he checked his mailbox. He didn't see any letter from Y.A., but his letter had gone.

A glimpse of hesitation passed his mind. What if the one who took the letter wasn't Y. A.?

Nagisa walked back inside his house and grabbed his cap and his sunglasses. He wore a jacket and a mask. After dressing up, he picked his bag and walked out from his house. He locked the door and he was ready to go to Kayano's house.

He wanted to pay Kayano back. Remember when Kayano saed some of her time to take care of Nagisa in the second day? Because he had some free time, he intended to help her in anything she wanted that day. And he already told her about that.

When he finaly arrived in front of Kayano's house, he rang the bell.

Quiet.

He rang it again.

Still quiet.

He rang the bell again.

Very quiet.

Nagisa once again rang the bell. And he received no answer. He observed Kayano's front yard to search any hint that Kayano would open the door. But still, quiet.

He rang th–

Click.

"Nagisa-kun!" A cheerful voice of his assistant spoke after the door opened. Nagisa stopped his movement to examine the girl in front of her door. She walked towards the gate and opened it.

"I'm sorry, I was taking shower," she stated. Nagisa smiled and nodded. Actually, he knew that much because Kayano was only wearing her bath robe. Also, her hair was wet and down.

"You can wait wherever you want. I want to dress up." Kayano rushed inside her home, leaving Nagisa in front of her house.

Nagisa stepped into Kayano's house. He sat n the couch right away. He put his bag beside him. And then, he randomly picked a purple book which didn't have a title from a desk in front of him. He opened the cover and flipped the pages.

Well, it's just a simple notebook.

He noticed that something was slipped between the pages. He took it and crinkled his forehead.

A familiar bright yellow envelope. It was still unused. Nagisa flipped it repeatedly to examine it. He knew that envelope, but he was still unsure.

CLANG.

Just when he almost got to the truth, a sound of something shattered distracted him. He abruptly turned his head to find the source of the sound.

"Kayano?" Nagisa stood up and walked inside Kayano's house further. No answer. Nagisa frowned.

He walked to Kayano's closed bedroom door. He stopped in front of it and knocked.

"Kayano? Are you there?"

He knocked again. Seeing that he received no answer, he tried to open it. The door was unlocked.

"I'm coming in…" Nagisa peered to Kayano's bedroom. He gazed around. Her room was neat and nobody was there.

But something caught his eyes. A pile of bright yellow envelope and one unsealed very familiar envelope with 'For Y. A.' written on it.

That was his letter.

He constantly stepped into Kayano's room, approached her desk to make clear his vision. As he got closer, he felt more familiar with the envelope.

He lifted the envelope and found a folded letter under it. Nagisa picked the letter and unfolded it. He read it.

Finally, he got fully certain. That's his letter.

When he finished reading his letter, he put it back and noticed another letter on Kayano's desk. It had just written. He read it out of curiosity.

Dear, Nagisa

It's okay to call you that, right? You told me to, though. I'm very happy. Very grateful. I can't explain it by words. I'm very very thrilled when you replied to my letter. Now I wonder… is this the first time you ever reply to your fan letter? This is an anonymous letter and you even keep it! You don't know how happy I am!

And thank you for being concerned. Don't worry. How could I commit suicide when you're still here? I won't disappoint you. I'll be here to support you. You don't need to be afraid. I'm still here.

Nagisa-kun, I've a suggestion for your last show. What if you give a little souvenir for your audiences? Maybe like candy or rosettes, or possibly your signature. And you should give them by magic! As if those souvenirs rain from the sky! Won't it be great?

Okay, that's all. Thank you for keeping attention.

And, may I braid your hair?

Regards, Y. A.

Nagisa smiled widely. He finally arrived on the truth.

O

Applause echoed. People shrieked. Some of them whistled noisily. It was the last day of Nagisa's magic show.

His latter performance was extremely fantastic. And right then, he was in the backstage with Kayano. Koro-sensei was doing a little performance as the closing. Kayano didn't send her latest anonymous letter to Nagisa. And so, Nagisa's magic show finally came to an end.

At least that's what Kayano thought. But Nagisa had another plan.

"Kayano, don't change your clothes," nagisa told as he peeked to the stage. Kayano, who was just about to step to the closet, turned her head, puzzled.

"Hm? Why not?"

"I want to give a surprise last show for my audiences," Nagisa stated while smiling.

"What? But I haven't prepared anything!" Kayano protested.

"Don't worry. You just need to do what I'll say on the stage."

Right after Nagisa calmed Kayano, a huge yellow head popped out from the stage curtain. It winked to Nagisa. Nagisa nodded in determination. He motioned to Kayano to follow him.

In Kayano's mind, hundreds of thoughts spun. For the first time in her job, she felt awfully nervous. It was not only because she didn't know what she should do, but maybe also because Nagisa seemed pretty weird that time.

"Good evening, everyone! I'm sorry I've to take a little of your time. But I'll give you a special last show!"

"Now, Kayano, please bring me the desk that I've prepared over there." Nagisa pointed at a small desk with his magic tools on it. Kayano obeyed the order right away.

"Let me explain something. I want to say thank you to anyone that had encouraged me. Thank you for coming to my magic show. Your existence is really meaningful for me. Can you iagine what is magician without audience?"

Suddenly a little girl who sat in the front cried. Maybe that time was supposed to be her sleeping time. Nagisa stopped talking and walked to her. As he walked, he reached something from behind his cloak, and it turned out to be a cup of ice cream. He stabbed a roll wafer into the ice cream and constantly pulled it out to reveal a rose. He handed them to the little girl and her mother.

"An ice cream for a brave little girl and a rose for her lovely mother. Don't cry, kid. You're amazing." Nagisa smiled and patted the girl's head. After the cry was settled down, he walked back to the stage.

"Kayano, my drink please. And please light the torch."

Kayano gave Nagisa a glass with some kind of liquid in it. While Nagisa was drinking, Kayano lit the torch. Right after he finished drinking, he snatched the torch and blew the fire.

And a big blaze blasted in the air. The audiences gasped. Some of them with jaw dropping. Kayano too, was shocked. She was terribly confused. She couldn't think of anything but wondered what is inside Nagisa's mind.

When everybody was stunned, suddenly hundreds of envelopes and candies flew out from the fire to the audience. The audience started to clap their hands vigorously, and some of them raised their hands to reach the envelope and candy.

"This is my love letter for everyone who has supported me. This is not just a souvenir, but this is my form of affection towards all of you. I didn't write these letters with magic. I write everything with my own hand. Thank you everyone. Please accept my gratitude," Nagisa voiced. The audiences spontaneously stood up and gave applause. Whistles and shouts were heard. They're happy, and Nagisa was pleased.

He glanced at Kayano. She looked even merrier. She smiled widely. Her eyes sparkled with happiness. Nagisa couldn't help but smiled amusedly. He took off his microphone and walked closer to Kayano.

"Kayano," he called. The addressed girl turned her head to him.

"Yes, Nagisa?"

"After this, please braid my hair."

Kayano wrinkled her forehead in surprise. "…..I'm sorry?"

Nagisa grinned mischievously. He pulled Kayano closer and pecked her forehead. And then he revealed something from Kayano's hair. A little box with pudding in it.

"I should thank you the most, Y.A."

Kayano didn't say a thing. She could only stare at him in amazement.

O

"Anyway Kayano, what does Y.A. mean? Your initial is K.K. isn't it?"

Kayano thought for a moment. It seemed like she was considering something.

She smiled slightly. "It's 'Your Assistant'!"

O
