disclaimer: I do not own assassination classroom

With his master in bed and fast asleep it only gave him time to think about what was happening now. Karma was sure he could get him to break the contract after some time but he didn't know how gullible he was. It was fast known that he felt like he owed something to his mother and that was why he never reported her. For all he knew, he thought it was a rather normal occurrence and Karma couldn't see why the blue haired kid took that much abuse for one person no matter if they gave birth to him or not.

Maybe he was right and he didn't understand all that mushy stuff because he was a demon but he doubted it. Demons didn't have family dynamics but his father never laid a hand on him or talk to him all that much for that matter.

"psssttt...Karma."

But he obviously sent spies to spy on his every move apparently.

"What do you want? I'm kinda busy here."

He opened the window and let him in though and was pleased to know that he was sweating. So his father was that desperate to get him back. Can't lose me but won't talk to me for ages, he thought with a smirk. The feathery demon winced openly once he caught Karma staring and he couldn't blame the lower level demon. Normally he openly defied his father's every move especially his latest actions.

"You went and chained yourself to a human? Your father is gonna blow a gasket and he's gonna kill me because I'm the messenger you know. Why do you have to defy him this much. You are the rightful heir and should be taking over for him when the time comes not rebelling. If your mother was here she'd be beside herself with-"

"She died. So sad too bad now Satan is depressed. I don't have time for this and if you are interrupting my late night musings just to throw my mother's death in my face I'll just send you back to tell him that I'm gonna be in the human world for some time."

"Yo...you wouldn't do that to me," the demon stuttered.

Karma smirked.

"Did I stutter? Huh, there's no respect nowadays it seems. I have no intention of being an heir to the throne. Give it to one of the other princes. How about Lucifer or Asmodeus? They are certainly up for the job and they are full fledged demons too-"

"But sire, they don't really care. Did no one tell you that you are special for a reason. You are the only living son of Satan from a hu-"

"I don't care. I have a tasty soul that is mine in the taking if I plan everything out right. Why would I want to go back to hell now that I have entertainment too. His mother beats him black and blue and he sits there and lets her."

"Are you sure that you should be getting entertainment from a kid like that? Those ones aren't right in the head and you know it too."

Karma shrugged.

"He seems pretty level headed to me surprisingly. He even got kicked and he didn't even give off a grunt of pain. Probably his mother's doing."

"You're amazed by a beating sire?"

Now the little feathered demon seemed almost speechless.

"No he doesn't amaze me, I'm just surprised by his spirit is all. Normally kids like this are far more broken but he remains determined so I want to see this out. Won't ever get that much entertainment in Hell and Belphegor is not good at parties anyways."

"You're too much sire. So what should I tell Satan when he wonders why his only love child decided to rebel against his destiny."

"I'll leave it up to you to say," Karma replied with a smirk, his fangs showing. "Say I was kidnapped, say I was taken in by run down animals, or say I ran away. Tell him the truth though and I'd kill you with my bare hands and you know I will certainly keep the promise."

"But sire if he doesn't get a straight answer from me he'll kill me on the spot!"

"You'll be killed either way so what does it matter little demon? You had some sweet animals you haven't possessed yet?"

"Between you and Satan," he mumbled before trying to pull him by the arm. "You being chained by a human is indescribable. It's absurd. You're father forbid demons and humans from falling in love! What do you think would happen if you kept around this small human? He's fragile yes but you even said he's got a strong mind! You love to break that but if you wasn't able to you'll soon find a way to claim it all for yourself-"

"Please Satan never did claim my mom and when she died because of some demon hunter deeming her unworthy because of who she fell in love with, it's just not something I would do myself. Besides if his mother doesn't kill him by March I sure will. I'm gonna devour his soul."

"And that's probably what Satan thought too. I'll break her spirit, break her, and devour her soul until it became obvious that she had him not the other way around. Then you were born and not a day goes by that I don't regret being assigned to watch over you. You are rather troublesome-"

They froze for a couple seconds but the troublesome blue haired kid just turned over. Sighing in relief, he turned to the feathery demon and pushed him towards the window.

"I have enough on my plate. Tell Satan to stop getting demons to tail me. It won't end well for you."

"You know he would just send your brothers right? He's been worried about you for awhile. Always going off to the human world and disobeying his orders. What are you to do if I can't honor that?"

"You know I'd kill you," Karma warned, all pretenses of his smirk gone now that he seemed rather put out by the situation as it stands.

"I can't control Satan sire. I wonder why he thinks he could ever control you. You're as troublesome as Satan's only daughter and even she needed several demons tailing her everywhere she went. Nothing beats your rebellion though-"

"We're not waking him up. Get out and tell Satan I ran away. There's your rebellion. Simple as that, no?"

The feathery demon went to reply when the window slammed shut in his face.

Karma never learned and the demon winced knowing what Satan would say about all this.

He would not like this at all.

"Get up Nagisa, it's morning."

Nagisa just wanted to snuggle deeper into the blankets but hearing Karma's voice reminded him of what he had done yesterday. He was going to be so dead in school today no matter what he did, wasn't he? Damned if he did and damned if he didn't. He quickly sat up, the blanket falling around him and looked around for the demon.

When he found him by the window, Nagisa's eyes narrowed as he wondered what he was up to during the night. Demons didn't sleep so it was obvious that he was plotting. Before he could open his mouth though, Karma glanced over and smirked at him. Blinking, Nagisa wondered what he did to set that off.

"You didn't do anything while I was sleeping right?"

"Like I would need to. The whole side of your face is bruised. How are you gonna explain that one huh?"

Sure enough, Karma was correct in his statement.

It was all purple on the left side of his face and he was pretty sure if he lifted up his shirt, he would fine some more purplish bruises too. He knew he shouldn't have opened his mouth around his mother. He made the mistake several times and it looked like he wasn't going to learn anytime soon. Karma caused the trouble yesterday but what he did was natural to all demons. It was their nature to try to cause trouble and Nagisa just had to tell him to shut up.

"Kitty cat got your tongue there? What ever are you gonna do now?"

Nagisa just shook his head.

Karma's question hit him hard but he was going to do what he did whenever it came to the bruises. He knew saying that he was bullied wasn't all thought out or practical but he did have the occasional one that had it out for him because of his small girlish figure and long hair that he wasn't allowed to cut.

"I have an explanation, I always do," Nagisa replied instead.

Karma leaned forward as though observing him before nodding his head as though he was telling himself something that only he knew. Nagisa thought it was a pain but decided not to ask because then he would tell and he didn't know if he'd like what Karma would have to say.

"Really?" he asked and Nagisa waited for him to get to the point. "What is the explanation if you don't mind me asking pesky master of mine?"

"I have bullies and they occasionally get violent. Especially some of the higher grade a jerk wads. Nobody questions it when I tell them that."

"They should, are they plain stupid? You get hit by your mom and go to school with a poor excuse and they believe that? I have less faith in humanity than I did before and I'm a demon. Demons and humanity don't go hand in hand you know."

"Oh shush you, you're breaking my concentration," Nagisa warned.

He changed into his school uniform and fixed his hair in front of the mirror. He wondered why his mom hadn't called him out yet but she probably had to get an early start at work and forgot about their talk. That meant he didn't have to worry until later this evening when she'd be home and probably looking to start something or force him into a dress that she thought would look cute on him.

"Where am I gonna be when you go to school?" Karma asked losing his smirk. "I'll be bored all alone in this apartment. Imagine your mommy finding out about the pentagram you so cleverly put down on the carpet with chalk and conveniently forgot to wash off. She would probably beat you until you were comatose knowing her."

"Why do you just love to see me getting beat up?" Nagisa thought to ask. He really seemed to enjoy it but Karma just shook his head.

"It's painful to watch and I can't do anything without your order because of the stupid contract. You really think I want to watch you get hurt by your mother. No kid should have to go through with that. I'm a demon and I don't get treated like that no matter what I do and I get punished too."

"My mom just has anger problems," Nagisa quickly corrected him. "She doesn't mean to do what she does."

"Stop making bull shit excuses for her. I'm sick of hearing them and they don't make the actual situation better. You have bruises on your stomach for crying out loud. It has to be pretty painful."

"I'm used to it. Mom takes out her anger on me but one of these days she won't have to anymore because I'm trying to be the better son instead of the daughter she wishes she had."

"Yeah about that. What's up with her playing dress up with you?"

"No time to explain. I've decided that you're coming to school with me. It's too bothersome to keep you at home where you'd just cause trouble."

"I get to leave the slaughter house and make an appearance at your school. Doesn't seem very appreciative if you ask me."

"My house isn't the slaughter house and you're just not used to being around humans. We aren't so bad once you get to know us and I plan to show you the good side."

"You shown me your mom so far. Not off to a very good start are we?"

"Sugino," Nagisa quickly greeted as soon as he spotted him.

"How'd the summoning go? I knew Terasaka was stupid to issue the challenge but please at least say you were safe or better yet that you didn't do it."

They were interrupted by Karma's snickers and Sugino annoyingly glared at the demon but Karma just smirked making the kid even more annoyed.

"Who's this Nagisa?"

"Well his name is Karma-"

"Karma Akabane, pleased to meet you," Karma introduced showing off his fangs.

Sugino sighed.

"Guess it failed huh? Well maybe Terasaka won't say anything. Nobody that knows you think you are weak minded Nagisa. Thankfully we'll have the teachers to actually supervise us when we do the demon summoning instead of doing it by your lonesome."

"Uh, I hate to tell you but Karma is the-"

"Is the what?"

Turning around Nagisa balked.

They were almost at the school house, almost in the clear and who had to show up but the school's best demon hunting student Gakushuu Asano. He made it a habit to show up even most of the highschoolers with his abilities when it came to chanting when it came to releasing a possessed person. He also was the chairman's son.

"A dare devil," Karma finished for Nagisa since he seemed to be at a loss of words.

"Hmm."

Asano glared at them before smirking and Nagisa knew now more than ever that he had done something wrong in his previous life. I keep getting punished for doing absolutely nothing wrong, he thought acidly. When will I have something good coming my way?

"I'm keeping an eye on you. Don't think you lot are getting off Scott free just because you had the red head here as a saving grace today. Well whatever. Nice face by the way Shiota. Did you get beat up by a wall or did you lose a fight?"

"He lost to a wall but that's not important."

Karma sure didn't fear anything especially now that he was faced with the powerful demon hunting student. He should be very afraid though and that just had Nagisa in awe. If only he could be like the red head then nobody would pick on him and maybe his mom would love him more.

"Well gotta go to school. Wouldn't want to be late huh?"

Ignoring Asano, Karma pushed them along until they were up the familiar stairs that led to the school. Nagisa paused, thinking about what he was doing before grabbing Sugino's hands to stop him.

"Karma's a demon Sugino. He's the result of my summoning and I entered into a contract with him. He seems rather harmless don't you think?"

"I don't know about harmless, there's a dangerous air about him but I'll take your word for it but I don't think I want to be any closer."

"Aw, I'm harmless," Karma replied giving a sly look to Nagisa that the bluenette didn't miss. "I can't kill, maim, or hurt without my master's permission."

"Uh, I'll walk ahead of you Nagisa. Good luck with the demon."

"Great he's gonna tell Terasaka now." Nagisa mumbled under his breath.

"It'll be fun though right Nagisa? We'll have a fun school year?"

"Sure I guess if you're well behaved."

Karma threw an arm around his shoulders and smirked.

"We both know something will happen and I'll get your soul. I'm really banking on that happening anyways. Who knows what mommy dearest has planned-"

"She doesn't plan to hurt me Karma, it just happens!"

"Exactly and I have to make sure that doesn't happen. Look at that bruise. Isn't that enough? You must be sick and tired of taking the brunt of her anger when it should be your father taking it for you."

Nagisa suddenly smiled.

"I'm gonna call him after school today and see if he would agree to meet with me this week. I'm sure it would be fine because you're right. He wanted to get away from her and not me."

"I'm always right," Karma corrected.

Nagisa just sighed and shrugged his arms off.

He wasn't prepared for Nakamura to hound them as soon as they entered the classroom.

"Who's this?"

Nakamura couldn't have come at a worse time, Nagisa thought. He was about to answer but Karma cut him off.

"Karma Akabane. I'm a new student here."

"Cool," Nakamura replied before eyeing Nagisa. "How do you know him?

Nagisa knew that Sugino already knew about Karma being a demon and that was why he was staying far enough away. He was a bad liar and he really didn't want to lie to the blonde but he didn't want them all to know he was a demon so soon anyways. Karma came to his aid though and by the looks of it, he didn't need much to lie.

"Next door neighbor," Karma replied with a sharp look towards Nagisa.

"Yeah, he recently just moved here," Nagisa added hoping he wasn't going to be highly scrutinized by his classmates when he didn't know how to lie.

"Really?"

Karma nodded and Nakamura seemed to buy that until Terasaka scoffed.

"Nobody told us we were getting a new student. Usually the teachers would tell us stuff like this."

"You are a special kind of stupid aren't ya?" Karma asked him snidely, showing off his fangs and making Terasaka take a step back.

"I don't know who you think you are but I'm not stupid!" Terasaka argued. "In fact I wonder if the summoning went off to good start huh Nagisa? We did a challenge and it seems that you failed rather spectacularly-what the hell do you think is so funny?"

Karma was laughing loudly now and Nagisa was afraid they'd realize what he did. He had to keep this under wraps until he was able to tell them himself without anyone being scared or telling a teacher. What would they do if they found out the red head was a demon anyways? It wasn't like he was dangerous at the moment. Besides the only thing he seemed to be doing was ribbing Terasaka and making him pissed off.

"This is fun. I knew I'd have entertainment from blue hair but you are a piece of work too. What makes you think you could summon a demon yourself anyways?"

"I have a name, it's Nagisa," Nagisa persisted although he became weary.

A fuming Terasaka was an angry Terasaka and nobody liked that mood because he had quite the temper. It succeeded in getting more of the students in his class to watch what was going on though and Nagisa hated it because the red head was supposed to keep a low profile. Hello, you're a demon and people will find out, he thought annoyingly.

"Oh yeah, well if that's the case how did the summoning go Nagisa?"

"The summoning?" Nagisa was hard pressed to tell them that it went well but he didn't want the teachers to know that he already had a contract with a demon that wanted his soul at the moment.

"Yeah something about how you can do it, just give you the night and you'll have the best demon summoned-"

"He's kind of an asshole though," Nagisa interrupted without thinking.

There was a pause as the rest of the class took it in before sidling away from Karma as though he had the plague and Nagisa really wanted to bang his head. The demon in question smirked leaving nothing to the imagination and it was Kayano who broke the silence.

"Wait he is the demon?"

"Uh-"

"Guilty as charged but you guys don't have to worry because Nagisa is the expert isn't he," Karma mocked. "For your information a weak minded person can do a summoning but because they mess up they always usually end up dead. Wonder what your teachers will think about this."

"Wonder indeed."

"Koro sensei?"

The yellow like octopus looked around observing the students for a moment before clearing his voice.

"You did something against the rules and I want to know who is responsible for all of this!"

All fingers pointed at Nagisa and he couldn't help but feel betrayed. Sure he summoned a demon without supervision but it wasn't all his fault. Some of them even issued the challenge telling him he wasn't going to summon a single thing. Karma was no better saying that even weak minded fools could complete a summoning.

"Nagisa what did you do?"

"Uh, it's quite complicated Koro sensei. I think it's best if I explain from the beginning."

"He summoned me all because of the stupid idiot's challenge," Karma explained instead, letting a smirk drop onto his face. "You have some talented students though so they're bound to have figured out how to do it sometime."

"Nagisa and anyone who is involved with this challenge follow me to the teacher's lounge. This is outrageous. Why would you guys even do this knowing how dangerous summoning a demon alone could be? Nagisa could have been seriously hurt or worse dead. You have five seconds to follow and then I'm going to start issuing detentions."

Nagisa and nearly half the class followed with dejected faces although Karma still had the smirk. Easy for him really since all he really has to do is point fingers, Nagisa thought. Still he was going to get into trouble and it was barely the first day of having Karma in school. He should have known that he wouldn't behave.

Nothing he could do about it now except to face the music and hope he didn't lose his scholarship because of it.
