-Nagisa(P.O.V.), Akari and Ritsu-

Finally after one long year I have allies and probably the solution to my plan's problems.

I'm so glad Akari and Ritsu came to the past with me. Just the thought of having lost Akari and possibly never having her love me again made me feel an heart-wrenching pain. But with the two of them I'm sure evrything will be ok. I can't let myself get depressed, too many people's futures are riding on our actions.

Ritsu was the first to start talking, she decided to tell us the main objectives in our operation for an happy future.

"In the time I've been hibernating I was not completely inactive. With the limited access to information I possessed and my memories I found a few things that MUST be done if we wish to be successful." She then started listing them. "The first and most obvious objective is saving Korosensei. This will be the objective the whole operation will be centered around but not more crucial than any of the others. The second one is preventing your sister's death. That incident caused a lot of pain to both you and Korosensei." She said looking at Akari. "As the E-class, our classmates had a lot of problems. We can count on Korosensei to solve those but we can also help him. We must also neutralize any threats ahead of time. If people like Yanagisawa, the false God of Death and Takaoka are not put out of commission we risk an ending exactly like the original timeline's. I have also determined that everything must remain the same, or seemingly remain the same until the beginning of 'Assassination Classroom'.Do either of you have anything to add or any beneficial information?"

Akari spoke before I could. " I have been doing some scouting of the laboratory. I can also ask my sister some seemingly innocuous questions in order to allow us access to inside information. Plus with my skills as an actress it would be easy to deceive some guards."

With everyone having spoken their part I decided to give my own two cents. "I have also scouted a bit and I've been memorizing the guard shifts and the camera positions. Thought Ritsu can probably do that better once she hacks into the system. There is also something that came back with me to the past. That vial Okuda gave me as a gift is hidden in my room." As I said this their eyes widened. "Apart from that I have a point to add to the plan. We have to 'kill' Yukimura-sensei." I added gesturing with my fingers to make them realize I was saying that figuratively.

Akari was startled by that. "What do you mean Nagisa?!"

"My idea was to make it look like your sister had died. Her death and last words were what caused Korosensei to become our teacher and the person, err well octupus we respected. In order for that to happen we must not only make Korosensei think she is dead but also make Yukimura-sensei herself think that she is dying so her 'last words' are delivered."

"That is a very good point. And from what I see, the only way to keep the future relatively unchanged until the point we want. The problem now is how do we make such a situation happen." Ritsu said.

Akari was obviously a bit uncomfortable with the idea but recognized the necessity. " Well, first things first, we need you to hack into the laboratory and find every single security measure they have and give us a detailed report. Both electronic and human measures must be catalogued. Then you should take control of the electronic security so as to allow us an easier time when the operation commences. With our lack of detailed information, you will also have to keep an eye on odd behaviour from the scientists so we can be prepared for the operation. The only thing I remember was that it ocurred during night time."

I pulled out my trusty notebook and started noting down our task list. After a bit more discussion back and forth I decided to add to it.

"I have a plan on how to fake Yukimura-sensei's death, though Ritsu will have to do it. Neither me nor Akari are proficient in long range weaponry so we are going to have to use Ritsu's instructions to build her a physical 'body', which will probably be just a moving turret platform with a sniper rifle, in order for her to do it. With her hacking skills obtaining the materials will probably not be that hard. Anyways, my plan consists in shooting Yukimura-sensei with a pellet filled with blood and some kind of drug mix that can be absorbed through the skin. The blood would be to both make the 'death' more believable and to make Korosensei panic and not notice the details that we are unable to cover. The drug mix would both make Yukimura-sensei feel like she was stabbed in order for her to believe the is dying and after some time to induce a false-death state. Then we will need to safely remove her 'corpse' from the area, hide her somewhere safe and then bring her back. We will need to fid a way to explain this to her but we'll figure that out later."

Akari gave us the way to obtain the pellet. "We could use my acting and infiltration skills, coupled with Ritsu's help to snag some blood from the hospital. As for the drugs... Ritsu, do you think you can find substances or solutions that can give us the desired effects? Then you'll just need to hack into laboratories and divert said chemicals to us."

"With a bit of research I should be able to find the desired chemicals and deliver them so that problem is solved. Anyways, it has gotten quite late so you probably need to go back to your families so as to not arouse suspicion."

We both agreed and left the mountain while Ritsu started her part in our plans.

-Nagisa & Akari(P.O.V.)-

I and Nagisa chatted a bit on our way down the mountain. Right before we parted ways I decided to invite Nagisa over for dinner.

"Hey Nagisa, seeing as it is already quite late and we haven't eaten anything in awhile why don't you come eat dinner with me and my sister?"

Nagisa looked surprised, then thinkative and finally, he agreed.

"Ok, I think that would be nice. Just let me phone my mother to let her know and then we'll go."

I watched as Nagisa moved a bit away to speak to his mother. I remembered that at this age Nagisa had a bit of a dysfunctional relationship with his mother. I grew worried when he frowned but after a few seconds and a few more words back and forth he looked at me and nodded. I decided to call my sister to tell her we would have a guest. She sounded delighted when she heard I was bringing a friend over and teased me about having a boyfriend so soon. Oh, if only she knew.

Nagisa joined me again and we walked to my house chatting quite animatedly.

-(Yukimura Household)-

-Nagisa(P.O.V.), Akari & Aguri-

We arrived at Akari's house and her sister let us in. It made me happy to see Yukimura-sensei alive after so long. Even if she wasn't our teacher for very long, she was still kind and never gave up on us.

She greeted us at the door, though she made a mistake that left me completely red. "Welcome back Akari-chan. Oh, and this must be Nagisa-chan, I thought Akari was bringing a boy." My brain stopped working for a bit as it tried to comprehend her words.

As comprehension dawned on me I couldn't help but shout. "I'm a boy!" With great emphasis on the word boy. Dammit mom! Why do you need to do this to me... To add insult to injury I could hear Akari's not so subtle giggles in the background. She must be having so much fun with this situation.

"Oh, sorry Nagisa. I hope you can forgive me. Well let me introduce myself as we started on the wrong foot, I'm Aguri your friend's sister."

"I-t's ok. You're not the first person to make that mistake. It was just on the spur of the moment."

"Great, come in, dinner is ready and we don't want it to get cold."

Akari couldn't resist whispering teasingly to me. "Come on Nagisa-chan, the food is getting cold." She proceeded to giggle uncontrollably again.

The dinner was pleasant. Yukimura-sensei is a very nice host and we all happily chatted. I kind of wished my house was like this, maybe I wouldn't have the problems with my mom then. Akari noticing my mood becoming sullen nudged me, smiled and comforted me. She always knows what to say to make me feel even just a little bit better. If only I hadn't been so depressed back then... No! I can't allow myself to think like this! Depression is not going to help and will hurt Akari too.

After dinner we went to Akari's room, after a bit more of Yukimura-sensei's teasing. We spent some time together, just basking in eachother's presence, making small chat and remembering the many good times we had with our classmates. Overall it left me feeling very happy. Akari's presence is calming and I can just feel the overwhelming love she has for me. I guess I was too focused pitying myself before to notice.

As I was leaving, after Yukimura-sensei said goodbye and left us alone, Akari managed to sneak a kiss on my lips. It still leaves me completely red but she doesn't fare much better. We said our last goodbyes and I went back home with only one thought in my mind. Thank God I have Akari with me.

-(During the following 3 years)-

.

-Narrator's P.O.V.-

Nagisa, Akari and Ritsu spent a very busy 3 years. Nagisa and Akari coping with redoing school, preparing for their operation and hanging out with their old/new friends, coupled with Akari's job as an actress kept them very busy.

Nagisa dealt with his mother obsession with him being female but was able to curb it a bit and make his mother less volatile. He also enjoyed spending time with Akari, sneaking kisses here and there, and just generally enjoying eachother's company. He introduced her to the friends he remade and they took to hanging out from time to time, usually watching Karma so he didn't go too overboard in his mischief, playing baseball with Sugino, making sure Itona was not alone, and just having fun with all of them. Also something horrible happened that Nagisa and Akari couldn't have predicted. Akabane Karma met Nakamura Rio far, far too soon. They became the King and Queen of mischief. Nagisa wondered what kind of monsters he created when he introduced them. Many people were never the same after witnessing the pair in action and many others had constant nightmares with them involved.

Akari apart from spending time with Nagisa and Co. also spent a lot more time with her sister,which made her happy. Her job as an actress allowed her to gain contacts and earn some needed money. She was genuinely happy, her family was back, the one she loved was getting better after his depression and so many things could be fixed. She tended to thank whatever entity sent them back repeatedly every night before sleeping. Because whoever or whatever it was gave her a gift bigger than any material gift she could have gotten.

Ritsu, together with Nagisa and Akari kept watch on the laboratory and the various governments and assassin organizations. It wouldn't do to be underprepared. She also enjoyed many talks she had with both of her fellow time-travellers. After feeling bored one day after another round of surveillance she discovered the amazing world of virtual entertainment. From things she could watch, to the billions of stories she could read and games she could play, she found the internet to be a very fun place. Apart from all that, she also helped from the shadows to solve a few crimes by anonymous contribution. After all, if she had this much power, it wouldn't do not to help the people a bit.

All in all, they were three very fulfilling and happy years, but now started a new phase in their second life. the first year in Kunugigaoka Junior High School, which at this time was still under the discriminating regime of Asano Gakuhō. These were going to be a few trying years but soon Assassination Classroom would again begin.

-(Gate of Kunugigaoka Junior High School)-

.

-Nagisa(P.O.V.) & Akari-

We stood in front of the gate, steeling ourselves for the years to come and the challenges we would face.

Akari decided that she wanted to join me in junior high. Her sister transferred recently to teaching class 3-E and was surprised that she wanted to join the school where she taught. She was even more surprised when Akari told her that even though her stage name was Haruna Mase, some people might still recognize her as Akari and she didn't want the worship so she decided to join with an allias and a different look. Some green hair paint, two pigtails, a name change and Kayano Kaede was reborn.

I turned to Akari, err Kaede, I really need to get used to calling her by this name again. She turned towards me. Steel in our eyes and I said:

"Let's go, our new life is just starting, and this time, we will succeed! Our friends' lives are in our palms, so we must make sure everything goes well."

She smiled, pecked me on the lips which left me bright red and answered. "Yes, let's go, towards our new future."

And we stepped into the school grounds, our heads held high, with great hope for our future.
