review answer: the reason for singing is simply this- Koro-sensei is weird like in the first episode. I can't give anything away what happens as that takes the fun out of reading but do know this story will not nor ever be one of those singing or songfic story( not that there is anything wrong with that but just doesn't fit this story) I already have an idea how that part is going to work out.

review comment: I recently got a review that made me think a little more about this story and where I saw it going. They brought up a few good points in noticing some inconsistencies about Nagisa in the story that are different than most mind control victims. As I have read a few mind control fics out there in different fandoms I wanted mine to be different whenever I decided to do one. Anyway, as someone is reviewing this I know there are others out there thinking the same thing or similar to this. So hopefully over the next few chapters, I hope to get rid of any confusion about how this mind control works in with the story. If not please let me know and I will see what I can do to help with this.

Chapter warnings: mentions of crushes, mind control, mind controlling substances, manipulation, spoilers to last few episodes of season 1, mentions of possible mental problems, switching between different people provs.

Thanks to all the reviews, faves, follows and reads for this story you guys are great.

Chapter 3: Are Storm Clouds Swirling?

Terasaka

Terasaka sat at his desk in the back of the class for the first time all week. He had been sick for over a week with the flu that had him feeling almost worst then the poison that those assassins had hit half of the class with. It was luck that Hazama had the foresight to remember that he wasn't there for the announcement and had already claimed him as her partner. If she hadn't then he would have ended up with Karma or worst yet one of the girls, who he would not have been able to do the assignment with at all, but then again there was only a handful of students he would have been able to stand for the eight hours he was supposed to without the help of electronics. At least the octopus was smart enough to let them partner up as they wanted to for the most part because he was pretty sure that if he hadn't they would be in the pairs that the yellow monster had put them in inside that cave and that would not end well for a majority of the class.

But it was good to be back in class. Hey, who would have thought that he would ever feel like this? That just goes to show him that the yellow being was as messed up as they were if this was what they made them feel like. Hmmm, he would have to look into that or better yet ask someone else to do it. He just wouldn't ask Nagisa to do anything dangerous without asking Karma who would probably just turn him down. He had learned his lesson back when he did the first major assassination attempt. Not only had the octopus scared him, but the fearlessness that Nagisa did the attempt with not caring that it was a good chance he would die. Of course, what really solidified his notion of never involving Nagisa in one of his schemes like that was the conversation with Karma. All he did was promise pain if Nagisa got hurt from one of his attempts. He had seen the last person who majorly messed with Nagisa, the guy had not only ended up in the hospital, it also landed Karma in E class but it also made the guy fear to go to school. Most of the other kids were scared of Karma even before that but after that, no one really messed with Nagisa especially around Karma.

As he sat there thinking something came to mind he had noticed a difference on the way to school today than a week ago. Nagisa was always one of the quieter students but now he seemed almost silent, it might have had something to do with that fight with Takaoka but it had been almost two months since then and it would have made more since shortly after that incident. No this seemed bigger than that because if that was one thing he noticed was that nothing seemed to faze the kid. He might be the weakest, smallest and most unassuming but now he knew that appearances could be deceiving and Nagisa was a prime example of it.

As much as he was unsure of Nagisa now he also knew something was going on between how Nagisa was acting, Karma watching for something and the fact he had seen the other students round up and had whispered conversations when the teachers were out of the room. He wondered what was going on and if it lasted much longer then he would go find the answers any way he could. Because at this point in the game he had realized if they were going to take out their teacher they needed everyone in the class and especially Karma and Nagisa.

Terasaka thought that some of the information he was about to find might lead to a storm, but then again this class had been getting boring anyway so this would definitely mix things up again. He just hopes that no one got hurt, because he definitely did not want to hurt his classmates more than he had in the past.

MAIN

Nagisa laughed at something that Sugino was saying. It was lunch time and with the coolness of the air, the majority had decided to stay inside. He looked around and noticed Karma come back in. Which was strange the last thing he had remembered was Karma leaving and then Nakaruma had offered him her apple juice. He looked up at the clock and noticed it was just a few moments before class. He looked down and noticed his lunch was gone but he couldn't remember eating it or putting it away. It was strange maybe he was just over thinking things again. Yeah, that was probably right he probably just had finished it already and not realized that he put it away.

"Hay Nagisa why is there glitter in your hair?" Karma said standing beside him.

"What?" Nagisa said confused

Karma smirked before running his fingers through one of the blue pigtails of his best friend and then holding it up for said person to see. Just like he said there was glitter all over his hand which had obviously had came from his hair.

"haaaa... I don't know. Maybe I ran under something and not noticed or maybe Nakaruma did that while I wasn't paying attention," Nagisa said running his own fingers through his hair only to find even more glitter coming out. Hmmm, that was unusual. Nagisa looked up at Karma for an answer only for him to shrug.

All the while the two boys were in their own world they didn't notice that conversation had stopped throughout the room. They did not notice how tense it was for a moment nor the relief that came off everyone when it appeared as that their secret was still that. The class was silent after all there were five people other than their teachers that didn't know what was going on and they really didn't know for sure on three of those five. If they were found out they had no idea what would happen. Seriously they realized that if what they were doing Nagisa was found out not only would they have to face Nagisa's anger but Karma's and whoever else found out what they were doing. A few of them realized that in order to continue they would have to be careful while others didn't think about anyone finding out about what they were doing.

The boys looked at the other trouble maker in their class and were just about to ask their question only to be stopped by the presence of their English teacher.

"Okay while this class is usually later in the day your PE teacher said to do it now because he wouldn't be back until almost last period so you will have PE then instead of me. He also said this would be true for the rest of the week so that means that P.E will be last and you won't see the Octopus after lunch tomorrow," She said with a smile though they saw the irritation through it. Whether it was because he had ignored her advances yet again, he didn't tell her anything other than what she had said or if it was for something entirely different they didn't question her on what she said nor on how she said it. Quickly they made their way to their own seats.

Karma was about to leave when he saw the look on his friend's face. He saw the confusion as he looked his fingers. It looked like he would have to ask around about the glitter. If he was honest he would say he was concerned for Nagisa. The boy was confused recently, almost like blackouts but not quite because they weren't consistent or anything but then again blackouts weren't supposed to be, he would have to look things up when he got home. Nagisa had also been pulling away from everyone almost like he didn't trust them. He hoped to find out the answers soon and was able to help him out because otherwise, something was going wrong with Nagisa and there was nothing he could do to help him. Karma really hated feeling useless it reminded him of times that he didn't want to like the fight with Takaoka, he really hated that night.

Karma pulled out his notebook and started to draw. He would be the first to say he wasn't the best artist he didn't suck at but he definitely wished he was better. Gosh, he didn't want to be here but he had promised Nagisa that he wouldn't just up and leave his classes like he always did. After all, he had watched the smallest boy take on someone easily twice his size and strength. He remembered the fight he saw between Nagisa and Takaoka and was astounded by the skill, discipline, and intent that Nagisa had. He was just glad that Nagisa wasn't hurt as much as he could have been and that they had all come home safely from that trip. Yeah, that's what he told the others why he has in class is he didn't want to miss something like that again but in truth, Karma stopped skipping class to keep a closer eye on Nagisa because seriously that boy was a magnet for not only trouble but for pain and misery too. He had promised to watch over that boy a long time ago but he hadn't realized that Nagisa needed looking after still, luckily he wasn't the only one to notice these traits and were also watching out for him.

Nagisa looked at his hands covered in shimmer glitter. For the life of him couldn't remember where he got it from. He couldn't remember who had any glitter, how it ended up in his hair or why someone would do this to him. That added in with other things like his pigtails becoming crooked in the middle of the day made him wondered what he was missing but when he tried to remember what happened it was like a blank space was there. Something was going on and he had no idea what to do because if it was natural there was only so much he could do to change it but the other option was someone was doing this to him and if that was the case then the question remained who and/or what was doing this to him and why him. Both scared him and he almost wondered if he wanted the answers that finding out would give him. He looked back to Karma who was looked up at him. The other boy looked as confused and as concerned as Nagisa felt. He might not like the answer but he knew that Karma would be him through it all. Nagisa smiled at Karma only to received a small nod and an even smaller smile from the boy before Karma went back to his notebook.

Ever since the fight with Takaoka Karma had become closer. Sure there was still distance but every time Nagisa looked around him recently Karma wasn't more than a hundred yards away unless it was unavoidable or one of the breaks. Nagisa still didn't understand why he was doing it but he was happy that Karma was doing whatever Karma was doing. With the recent things going on with him he found himself relying on that present in order to feel safe now. The small boy didn't now why this was happening but as long as Karma was there by his side he felt maybe just maybe he would be able to get through whatever storm was coming.

AFTER SCHOOL

"Okay, we bring this meeting to order to talk about a current problem we are having and talk about some things," Nakamura said looking at the ten other students that had stayed behind. While a majority of class E knew what they were doing they didn't know the details and a few refused to be a part of it but they also said they would do anything to interfere as long as no one was hurt in the experiment.

Because that was what they were doing with Nagisa, they were using him to experiment with the effects of the mind altering Drug. While technically is was mind control Narakuma liked to think that it helped stretched the limits of the mind and made the recipient more willing to do things they normally wouldn't do.

At the moment the drug allowed Nagisa to follow what they asked him and while it worked decently well they had to test the limits. There also was a time limit of about 20 minutes on it. Okuda had helped them formulate the liquid that they used but the girl didn't realize what they were using it for. It was easy enough to lie to the girl about what they had planned. Okuda had only made the formula to make sure that it wouldn't poison someone that ingested it. After that, the girl had let them do what they wished,

"We need to make it more potent" Someone muttered.

Sugino who wrote everything down nodded as he added it to his notebook.

"We need to make it last longer." Another voice Nakamura wasn't paying attention to who said what waiting for a good idea. Making it last longer would be a good thing but they had to keep the potency after all they had tried that the more effective it was the less time they had but the more time they had then Nagisa could actually say no if he really wanted to. They had spent a week testing it until they got the one they were currently using. It was pretty darn effective allowing just about anything that they had tried to do without an argument or without much hesitation for the 20 minutes in between classes.

Sure they had really used it to make Nagisa look or act like a girl, they had asked things they had always wanted to know about the boy though he was silent about who he liked. They had asked him to show some things he learned but no one was able to keep up with him. They had gotten him to help them in homework, which if you asked her was a waste of time but whatever. They hadn't really done anything to stretch what he was willing to do in a few days not since they had him steal something from each of their teachers that were special to them. Of course, they had him return it so suspicion would not arise.

Speaking of suspicion Nakamura had noticed that as of late Karma had been more vigilant of Nagisa. This would cause a problem because if he got the wind of what they were doing all bets were off. Karma held Nagisa close, closer than anyone had ever gotten to him from what she could tell. They would have to change tactics soon if Karma started looking into things too much. But then again they might able to bring him to the dark side, but then again she had to remember with Nagisa the one affected by the mind control Karma wasn't likely to play that game. Karma was generally just sarcasm, pranks, mischief and sadistic but when it came to the tiny boy he was completely different. In fact, when it came to the blue haired boy Karma usually did a complete 180 if Nagisa was against something or was in danger. Yeah, it would just be better for everyone that Karma never found out what they were doing to his best friend. She sometimes wondered how the shy little boy made the wolf become a puppy.

Narakuma had to hold back a giggle as she thought of how Karma was like a dog. To everyone around him he acted indifferent and showy, but hurt his owner and you got the attacked by him but if Nagisa called him off he would look upset but do as told. Hmm, there was an idea was to get Karma sometime and see if she could get him to dress or act like a dog.

In truth, she felt kind of bad to be testing it out on Nagisa but at the same time not so much. After all, someone had to do it and who better than the star assassin, peaceful, pretty boy of the group. Also, she figured that if he found out about what they were doing he was the most likely to not either get revenge or hold a grudge, Karma would not let them off so lightly. Or at least she hoped her prediction was true.

Still, the question remained what to do next then it came to her as she remembered how a theoretical talk turned into what they were currently doing to their classmate.

"Kayano," the blond said turning to her left.

"Yes," the small girl said looking up at her.

"Didn't you have a plan when this all started?"

Kayano was wide-eyed but remembered that it was Nakamura was the one she started this plan with. She smiled gleefully and nodded

"Good. I think it is about time you do it. After all, it has been three weeks since we started to do this, and with any luck, he will be yours soon." Nakamura said knowing that if she said it that way the girl would do it. Truthfully she just wanted to see if they could get the two to kiss. She had no idea on Nagisa feelings but Kayano was infatuated with the boy and if this didn't do the trick of getting the boy to respond then it probably due to the fact the boy was not interested in her or more interested in someone else.

Either way, it seemed like a lot of fun because either she got blackmail material on Nagisa, the two would go out or Nagisa would never know that he had kissed a girl in class. She guessed something else could happen but anything else was practically impossible to happen or just too boring to think about right.

The others had agreed to let Kayano have another go at Nagisa and to let her do whatever she had planned the next day. After the decision, they worked on homework for an hour before heading home. Nakamura had just gotten home when she saw the gray clouds that had been predicted earlier in the week start coming in across town. If she was superstitious she might have thought it was an omen but no the blond was practical even if she was a trickster most of the time.
