AN: i don't own assassination classroom and Yu Yu Hakusho.
This chapter is based from the manga and was not shown in the anime. Some *spoilers* for anime only. Read chapter 23 Humid time and 24 retaliation time to find out what really happened. Or read my crazy version.
Last time…
Several of class E was kidnapped and both of their teachers were not in use. So it was up to the rest of the class to save them. After fighting for their lives they were able to take a brake and have a meal.
Protection time
It was the end of a school day and it rained cats and dogs throughout the city. 4 of class E's assassins in training were walking through this depressing down pour. Nagisa Shiota an information broker, Kaede Kayano lover of sweets, Tomohito Sugino the expert pitcher and Hinata Okano the trained gymnast. They just went by a bakery because Kayano begged them to go however she was the only one who had any money to get some scrumptious cake. "Come on Kayano shows some love. I just want a strawberry" Sugino begged with a drooling mouth.
"No" she swiped the cake away from his greedy hands "get your own this cake is way too good to share"
Their other companions laughed at them and then Okano noticed something from a far. "Hey look over there" she pointed to a couple under an umbrella. One of them was their friend Maehara but the girl was not so familiar. They only knew her name "isn't that Tsuchiya Kaho from class C with him."
"As popular as always" Sugino laughed.
"I see" said a new but familiar voice. They turned around to see their teacher hidden in a tree wearing a blue rain coat with white polka dots. He was scribbling something down in a note book decorated with a heart. There was a message that said 'student's gossip'. "Maehara sharing an umbrella with a woman from another class. How romantically scandals."
His students looked at him oddly in shame "you sure love your gossip"
Korosensei's weakness (13):
Juicy gossip
"I'm actually planning to write a novel about all your love affairs my beloved students." He admitted shamelessly with a blushed smiley face. "The first chapter is about Sugino's feelings for the beautiful Kanzaki will never be returned. Will he survive or can this bitter love become sweet?"
A tick grew at the boy's forehead "I'm so going to kill you" he threated.
The couple laughed and talked merrily in the cold rain. They all knew if Korosensei goes through with this novel then Maehara chapter will be the longest. After all he is a ladies man. He makes his way into girls' hearts with his pretty boy looks and sweet charm. All seemed well and good until trouble showed in a gang "Hey Kaho what're up to?"
The girl was caught by surprised but her expression changed to force joy "Seo I thought you were in a student council meeting" she forcefully pushed Maehara away.
"We finished early" the long yet short black haired boy glanced at the male with her "who's he?"
"Oh he's no one" she replied "I didn't have an umbrella so he offered his"
"You had one this morning"
Slightly hesitant, she said nervously "I…forgot it at school"
Maehara bit his lip in frustration but soon smirked "so that's it" the girl's eyes twitched with annoyance as she turned around. "You hardly answer my calls and now you want to meet me by train instead of the usually pleasant bike ride." He glanced as the angry teen "so you though you keep me as a toy while your boyfriend was busy with other things."
"You little" her boyfriend hissed.
"It's not like that" she was in full panic mode but then it hit her. She turned around with a dark, grim face that soon switched with pride and justice in a snap. "Don't you know you're bad news?" she called out Maehara with a gun hand. The on lookers watched concern. "You're a good for nothing slacker that fell all the way to call E." her words hit him hard. "Class E students don't even go to Kunugigaoka High School so we would fall apart anyway so why would it matter. I didn't want to hurt you anymore by telling you it was over. I thought you would be smart enough to figure that out on your own" she laughed wickedly.
Her boyfriend joined her "of course not he's a class E idiot." Maehara tried to fight back with words but instead the boy kicked him down violently. "Are you deaf? We just said we aren't going to the same high school so even if we do anything to you right here it won't affect us at all. Now give Kaho an apology for sharing an umbrella" he yelled as he and his buddies kicked Maehara around.
His friends can no longer watch "you bastards!"
"Stop this at once" called a deep, dark voice in an assertive tone. Out from a black car was the principle himself. They all feared for their reputation as he strolled into the scene. "Violence isn't the answer. Don't let your hearts become as wild as the weather today" he crouched down to Maehara and gave in a small towel. "Please dry yourself" he told him "I'm glad a stepped in before things got other hand. Otherwise" his eyes turned dark and ruthless as a stormy night "I would have to remove you from this school"
Maehara sat there shamed and wet. His enemies snickered in victory. His classmates and teacher wanted to step in but if they did the principle would undoubtedly give them a greater punishment. None of them had the courage to face him. All but one "that's not fair" said a calm yet assertive voice.
They turned to the source the principle's eyes sharpened in pure hatred "you"
There stood the girl in green with guitar case behind her along with a blue penguin plush, Yuko Yukimura "he did nothing wrong" she continued "if anyone's to be punished it should be that girl for being deceitful and that boy for attacking a student"
The principle nodded. He could not deny he saw the fight "that is true" he turned to the boy "care to explain?"
He stiffened up "well it was all Maehara fault for hitting on my girl"
"Objection" Yuko called him out with an extended arm "it was miss Kaho own fault for not telling Maehara it was over in the first place. What kind of woman does that unless they want to live an exciting life by having two partners that don't know about the other?" She argued "also this augment started over a forgotten umbrella yes?" they nodded. She pulled out her phone "check and mate." They the saw Kaho reaching out for her umbrella but then Maehara came by. Being the gentlemen that he was he asked if they wanted to share if she didn't have one. Of course she happily lied and walked away snuggled up with him. They exchanged sweet nothings as they walked out. "I also have several photos that clearly show your teenage adultery or I believe you call it cheating" she fanned out the various photos of Kaho and Maehara doing couplely things. All with an early date.
"What are you a stalker!" they screamed.
"A stalker? Me?" she pointed to herself and shook her head "no, I'm just one hell of a detective"
Asano stepped forward "that's enough of this bulling"
"I wouldn't class this as bullying" she told him "bullying happens constantly and I'm sure this the first time I met this couple face to face. Also it is done to lower someone dignity but I'm doing this to bring justice for my classmate"
Asano still hand a trick up his sleeve "then I would have to expelled for violation of privacy and for talking back to your superior yet again"
Can he do that? they wondered.
She smirked evilly "I dare you"
The man growled in anger "do you really wish for me to call your parents?"
"Good luck doing that" she told him back in her monotone voice "my dad is somewhere in the Arctic" the weight of shock caused them to drop. "it's either that or he's in Brazil or was it China?" she scratched her head "he's told me so many things I can't remember where he is now" she sighed "but even if you told him he wouldn't care" she stared the man down "he's not one to respect authority"
The principle's eyes twitched I just can't get to this girl can I? That's when an idea popped in his head. His smirked evilly "then I would just have to call your mother." The girl's eyes shot open as her body tensed. His grin curled I got her now he though. If it's not one it's the other parent that cares about education and respect. You can't escape now.
The girl stared at him with sharp but glossy eyes "if you have the number to heaven then be my guest" she said in her usually monotone voice but there was a hint of sadness.
They were all puzzled by her statement. Soon it finally hit the principle as his eye soften with regret and grin dullened to a sadden frown "I'm sorry"
"You should be" she spat. Her attention turned to the soaking wet boy on the ground. Swiftly, she swiped her coat off. All eyes were on her as the rain drops hit her dry skin. Maehara gazed at her still bank face but her sharp eyes were filled with concern. She wrapped the coat around him and pulled up the hood. She caressed his set ablaze cheek. "Are you alright?" he nodded and she helped him back to his feet. "I'm sorry if my coat is a tad small for you"
Maehara shook his head "no it's perfectly fine" he assured her. His eyes soon soften with worry. "How about you? Will you be ok?"
She nodded once and looked to the grey sky. She extended her cupped hand to catch some of the fallen drops "the rain never hurt anyone" she said and she threw the captured drops around her. "Some say there is a beauty to it" their eyes were so fixed to the girl as she made this gloomy scene seem more magical as her soft movements knocked some drops off course. The captured drops spiralled around her like a trail of water. Everything seemed to sparkle around her. "At any case you should go home and change before you catch a cold. Make sure you take a hot bath and rest well tonight. You might need these" she threw a medication bottle at him "take one if you feel unwell" she walked away with her guitar case behind her.
"Thank you" Maehara called out.
Without looking back she waved her hand and moved on. As she passed by a darken ally and a man suddenly appeared. He wore traditional Japanese clothing with the colours of white and pale lavender. He also had a satin red belt around his waist. His long hair was a shade of light grey lavender and was tied in a low pony tail. He had two identical arched bangs at the side of his forehead and two antenna things that pointed up. He leaned on the lamp post arms crossed with a cool smile "what dreadful weather we're having"
She continued to walk down her path ignoring him. Soon another man appeared, as she passed by, on the other side of the street. His hair was a dirty blonde and was lifted up in a type of cone shape with a flared spiked top. He wore a white shirt with ripped sleeves and skin tight blue jeans. He mimicked the posture of the other "don't let the weather match your mood young miss"
She stopped in her tracks "Shishiwakamaru, Suzuki" she addressed them.
The tight pants man spun out in anger. With an annoyed face he pointed at the girl and screamed "you forgot the beauit… oh forget about it I don't care anymore" he said with a sighed and dropped shoulders.
The other man walked up beside him "It's been awhile young miss how are you doing?"
"I'm fine" she replied coldly "now what do two want?"
"Oh don't be so cold young miss" Suzuki said dramatically with his hand over his injured heart "we have good news for you" she raised an eye brow suspicious.
"Your father told us we" they said in perfect sync with wide happy smiles that were creepy. They held each other's hands and spun about while spinning around each other around each. They clapped their hands together and stretched their arms apart in a symmetrical pose with jazz hands. "Are going to be your dance instructors" Yuko looked at them blankly before turning tail and run. She never did saw the sinister predatory eyes behind her. "Not so fast young lady!" the next thing she knew that was a rope around her that tied her arms down. She turned to meet with the dark smiles on their faces "you're not going anywhere" she gulped and they jumped on her.
"Unhanded me!" she yelled trough the struggle.
"No you must learn to dance for this coming festival!" Suzuki argued as he tried to tie the aggressive legs.
"I don't want to" she yelled in a childish manner "it's irrelevant in my life"
"Oh contraire it's a part of your duty." Shishiwakamaru argued back.
"Besides that was a request from your father and we're way more scared of him then you" Suzuki added on. They pulled the rope together a final time as they made the last knot. "There now, I told you those hog tying and lasso lessons would come in handy" the blonde said proudly with a grin as he extended his arm to the other "you owe me 1000 yen. Cough it up"
The grey haired one sighed "here" he handed the money to the extremely happy man. "Though I have to admit I thought we would use them to catch food not a girl" they stared at the hog tied girl as she struggled on the spot.
"Untie me!" she demanded.
"No can do" they replied as they ran away with her held up behind them.
"Damn you both!"
The onlookers stared in confusion and disbelief as one by one the left for home wondering: what on earth did I just witness? The higher class students were the first to leave. The principle still in a bewildered haze was second. The class E members and octopus just stared into the distance.
Maehara was the first to snap out of it. His attention turned to the warm coat around him. "Are you ok Maehara?" his classmates asked.
He nodded "yeah." He gazed at the direction those men took Yuko "I can't believe I was saved by a girl" he laughed along with his friends.
"And so the mysterious female knight in green was taken away. Will our Maehara ever see her again?" Korosensei said a loud as he wrote in his journal of gossip.
"You're actually writing this down!" his students screamed.
"But of course this is the type of drama that will put my novel on the top" he laughed.
His students glared at him darkly "we definitely need to kill him before that gets printed" they nodded in agreement as their blood lust soared to new levels.
The next morning, "so what you're saying" Terasaka punched his fists together as his eyes glowed "we're going to give those guys some pay back" the octopus nodded. "We're in besides" he hooked an arm around Maehara "we can't let them get away with it right Maehara?"
He nodded "yeah" he gazed around his classmates ready for anything. He had their full support "thank you guys"
"No problem" Isogai assured as he patted his back "what are friends for?"
The door opened "ah Miss Yukimura you've finally arrived" Korosensei greeted "will have us conjure up a revenge plan?"
Silently, she walked into the room. Everyone was at a standstill as her footsteps echoed. Because of the silence they appeared to boom in their ears. She stopped before Maehara. They stared at each other blankly. Out of nowhere she pushed a hand on his forehead and their faces where so close their noise could touch. The sudden action made Maehara burn red in her intense gaze. "You appear to have a fever" she concluded "did you forget to take the medicine?" she them noticed a bruise hidden behind hair. "You're hurt too"
He brushed her hand off "it's nothing don't worry about" he assured her as he took something out from his bag "by the way here's your coat back" he held it out and his head faced down not wanting to show his red face.
She reached out for it "thank yo…" her works silenced to nothing as she fell into his chest.
"Yukimura!" Maehara yelled flustered unsure on what to do.
"Neahh!" Korosensei screamed as he franticly searched for something in his desk. A pail of junk quickly formed behind him "where's my book I have to write this down!"
"Seriously!" the class screamed.
His quickened heart soon calmed as he examined the girl. He slid the black glass off slightly "hey guys her eyes are black"
Korosensei stopped his searched "again?" he questioned as he raced over and checked himself "oh dear" he quickly set up a futon at the back of the class and tuck her in. "you really must take care for yourself more" he whispered "if you keep this up how on earth will I be able to give you a proper education?" He gazed over her with concern and stroked her hair "what did you do this time?"
"I'll tell you" groaned a weak voice. Stumbling into the classroom and falling flat on the floor was a very tired redhead with black eyes that matched Yuko's. His friends rushed up to help him.
"What happened?" they asked.
"Our fathers forced us into Shishiwakamaru and Suzuki dance boot camp of hell" he explained weakly. "We didn't stop until sun rise when it was time for school"
"When did you last have a brake?" Nagisa asked.
"A brake? What Brake?" Karma laughed "I said we didn't stop means we didn't stop!" he yelled
Dang they all though
"Well looks like you need some sleep" Korosensei said and made another futon "I'll allow you to take a rest this once"
Karma crawled his way under the covers "I was going to do that any way" he said with a grin "but thanks for the bed"
"Before you go off I just want to ask are you willing to help us for a revenge plot?"
He nodded "sure just let me sleep" he told them tiredly "but Yuko has other plans just to let you know"
Indeed she did but no one was ready for what she has in store. I will protect this class with very thing I have she swore to herself. The image of her targets appeared clearly in her head. I will get revenge.
It was another pouring wet day, and the couple from yesterday were happily sipping their tea. "I'm sorry about yesterday" the girl said "I didn't expect you to meet an ex of mine and that girl...whoever she was"
"I'll forgive you this time so call yourself lucky" he replied "just don't do it again"
"Oh of course" she snuggled close to his arm "you're the one I love"
"You know this place is really nice" the boy admired the simple but elegant decor. He smiled as he took a sip of his perfectly rounded, white cup. "The coffee here is delicious"
The girl nodded "it's very special to my heart. My daddy is friends with the owner"
A sly grin appeared on his face "did you ever take that guy Maehara here?"
She imminently denied it with a head shake and hand gestures. However there was a hit of nervousness in her voice "no way. You're the first one I brought here Seo"
He smirked "yeah, it's wise not to hang with those E class dropouts" Kaho agreed with a frim nod. Seo gazed off as the peter patter of rain hit the side walk nearby "you know sitting in an open-air café kind of gives you a sense of superiority. Being in the only area that won't get you wet." His face turned dark and sinister. "Not like that loser who got soaked" he laughed.
Kaho laughed with him "that's awful" she joked then remembered the girl "but didn't that girl gave him a coat and cold medicine or something" she thought a loud. She pouted "sure hope he catches one after what he did"
Seo laughed harder "that idiot is too brain-dead to catch a cold. All those E class idiots are"
"Guess you're right" they laughed together.
Soon an old married couple came by "pardon me but can you move" asked the old man "me and my partner wished to go further back" he explained as he gestured to his elderly wife. The boy nodded and let them past. As soon as he did he talked smack about how weak and useless the elderly are and laughed his heart out. The girl laughed with him as she said that's rude. Little did either of them know that the old couple was actually Nagisa and Kayano.
In a building right next door in a high room the young assassins were putting their plan into action. "Nicely done with those masks, Sugaya" Sugino compliment.
The artist smirked proudly "well that's kind of my specialty. I'm still not able to fool Korosensei but it's enough to fool them. Besides they're not interested in people weaker than them" he looked through the binoculars " we're really lucky to get a hold of this place. We're right in front of them and they won't know what hit them"
Sugino nodded "I'll say. Miss Bitch tough Yada and Kurahashi well to keep the landlord busy. Who would have thought those entertaining lessons would came in handy"
"Nurufu fu fu it appears the stage it set" Korosensei slithered into the room of revenge hungry assassins "may operation ravage go"
"Hold on teach" the redhead interrupted. The class turned to him in wonder as he looked through the window with binoculars. He smirked "looks like there's a conniving wrench in our plan" Korosensei slithered to the window to see what he was talking about. His beady eyes widen as a familiar silhouette appeared through the misty rain.
Footsteps echoed past the cries of the pouring rain. The couple caught a glimpse of a shadow in the rain. The wet blurred image became clearer with each step. They growled at the figure. It was the girl from before the one who dared defied their beloved principle. They glared as she calmly stepped in to the shelter. The drops rolled off her coat and socked the wooden abroad below. "What is she doing here?" the spat under their breath.
Soon the door blustered open "good after noon young miss I hope you're ready for your performance" said an enthusiastic blonde.
"Of course are you?"
"The perpetrations have been made" said a lavender haired man.
The assassins in disguise watched the events unfold as their plan head down south. "Nagisa aren't those the two from yesterday. You know the ones who kind of kidnapped Yuko?" Kayano whispered.
Nagisa nodded "yeah. I think their names where Suzuki and Shishiwakamaru"
"So shall we start" the men asked.
A dark grin formed across her face "but of course"
Karma saw that smile and paled. His hands trembled as he lost his grip of the binoculars. His classmate looked at him with worry "you ok?"
"Not good not good" he stuttered and grabbed the nearest person and shook them rapidly "please tell me she's not smiling" he screamed in their face. They honestly him told she was and he had a small freak out moment screaming in terror.
"What's so bad but a smile?" Terasaka asked bluntly.
Karma jumped on to him "you don't understand Yuko doesn't smile. She never has for really that is!" he screamed. "When she dose they fall under to categories. One it's fake. Two it's the dark smirk. That there is a dark smirk" He explained "it means she planning something and the result of this plan can range to hilarious scenarios to destroying entire cities" he shivered at the thought. "Whoever that smirk at aimed should run while they have a chance."
"So" dramatically she stomped her guitar case beside her and flicked the clips unlock. "Let the show begin"
Not so surprisingly, at lease for the higher class teens, the metal lid popped open to revel a classic, wooden guitar with customized curled engravings. For the assassin however they though so it's not just kitchen equipment in there. There is a guitar. Their eyes dullen to a blank questioning gaze still how did she out those things in there? They wondered back to that kidnapping fiasco last week. They gazed in anticipation as she held the guitar up. Her fingers gently head down the needed notes then strike her hand down every few seconds. It. Was. Horrible. The undercover assassins held their elderly plastic ears in pain. My ears!
The couple did the same my head is pounding!
The assassins in the building did it as well. As they were in an ear throbbing stand still Korosensei rushed around them and bounced off the wall like a pin ball at his famous march 20 speeds. He screamed "neahhh! Why does she have a guitar when she obtusely have no idea how to play? Oh the pain!" he then noticed the redhead half dead on the floor. He rushed over "Karma speak to me child" he screamed dramatically through the retched noise.
A part of himself seemed to slip away as he said weakly "ears sensitive… Noise too much… Dyeing" then was out cold.
"No" Korosensei cried to the heavens with the boy's body in his tentacles "don't leave me!"
Back outside, Yuko continued to play the ear killing notes that boomed past the cries of the storm. However the miss toned notes seemed too had attracted quite the audience- odd looking and colourful one at that. Even Shishiwakamaru and Suzuki bobbed their heads to the tone dead tune. They clapped and screamed in praise for some odd reason.
The couple had enough "what's the matter with you all!" the music came to a shrieking halt as all eyes turned to them.
"She's absolutely horrible" Seo first argued.
"Dreadful more like it" Kaho added.
"It was like a sharp nailed kid dragging their nails on a chalk board"
"No this is way worst" Kaho argued "I rather listen to that 24 hours a day then one more minute of her crap" she screamed and pointed at the girl.
Ouch. The assassins thought. Thought that was all true it still seemed a little harsh.
Yuko looked as if she was about to cry "was I really that bad?" her voice was still stiff as card board.
"Hell yeah!"
"No dear" some of the woman of the crowd and her dance instructors comfort her "you were great"
One of the woman hopped in front of the couple and pointed and overly sized beer bottle at them "Hey don't you dare say that to her you snot nose kids" he breath was pure alcohol.
"Get away from us you ugly drunk"
A mini earthquake sneaked up from behind as a gigantic shadow loomed over them "did you insult my wife" the man said in a booming voice "it one thing to insult sweet Yuko. It's another thing when you insult my wife"
"Get out of here fatso"
"And bring you're freak show friends with you" a dark presents surrounded them as the members of the crowd ganged up on them. Their eyes gleamed red of hatred. The two gulped as the crowd set them fly into a large puddle which was deep enough to make a cannon ball splash. They seemed things on the lines of: "I'm utterly soaked" or "my clothes are ruined". The next thing they knew sticky liquid poured all over them and sparkle dusk rained down. "What is this?"
"Sorry about that" said a voice from above. A scruffy purple haired boy with brown highlights popped out of the window. "We're doing a project. My sister dropped the glitter and glue out"
"That was your fault Sai" argued a girl with long but same colour hair.
"No it was your fault Mai" the banter went on as the two wrestled back inside.
Kaho growled in anger "when my daddy here's about this he'll make sure the owner banned you all"
"Owner? But I'm the owner" Suzuki announced "and if anyone's in the wrong it's you for insulting my customers and our special guest here" he wrapped his arms around Yuko.
"What!" and full blew argument erupted.
Karma was awoken "it's over?" he peeked through the window. His eyes locked on to Yuko doing strange hand movements. She appeared to be pretended to shoot a gun while pointing on the table the couple sat. "I think it time to shoot while their distracted"
Korosensei agreed "Okuda have you got it ready?"
The science geek nodded and handed him the pellets "yes, I mix the ingredients in with magnesium. This should really make their stomach turn" she laughed wickedly.
"Chiba, Hayami prepare yourself"
"On it" the snipers loaded up and aimed at the coffee cups. They popped in for a direct hit. A question popped into their minds "how are they going to drink it?"
"She'll find a way" Karma assured.
Suddenly, a loud barking sound howled as a stubby legged but elongated body dog hoped over the glitterized teens. They took another dip in the puddle. The dog splashed and stomped it's way over them. "Get back here you stupid dog!" yelled a new voice. Four teenage boys in Kunugigaoka uniform came running down with umbrella protection. The one at front was a short haired strawberry red. His lavender eyes were sharp with anger but soon rounded in surprise "Seo is that you?"
His body trembled as he stuttered "as-as- Asano" the other teens caught up. "Koyama, Araki,Sakakibara . What are you doing here?"
"We were chasing a dog" said a derange looking one with messy long black hair and tick, square rimmed glasses. "What are you doing here?"
"Better yet why are you covered in glue and glitter?" asked the round glasses wearing light green haired boy.
"And out here in the pouring rain" added a slick brown haired teen with shaved sides.
"They threw us out!"
"Hey you were the ones insulted us!"
"We just told our honest opinion on that retched guitar playing!"
"She wasn't bad!"
"What's with all the ruckus?" a middle aged man walked out with two students either side, one ginger and the other a brunet, both girls from E class.
Asano had an idea to solve this situation "good sir did you hear any disrupting music"
"The only disrupting thing I heard is all this yelling" the girls beside him bobbed their heads in agreement.
"Really now?" he grew suspicious as the couple grew nervous. He turned to the elderly couple on the porch "sir, madam I presume you've been here this whole time. Can you tell me want happened?"
The assassins in disguise blinked at each other knowing he was talking to them. Kayano coughed "well dearie we just came to get a light lunch and the next thing we knew there was an argument" she said is a sweet weak tone.
"As for this guitar playing I didn't think it was that bad. A little loud though" Nagisa lied with a grumpy tone.
"I see" Asano's eyes darted at the couple as the shook in fear. He then turned to the oddly dressed crowd "and where is this guitarist?" Yuko stepped forward in a timid way. "Would you mind playing an encore?" he asked.
They paled in fright at the thought of hearing her play a second painful time. Yuko twiddled her fingers "I'm not so sure about that" she said timidly yet blandly. "They really sounded like then hate me" she snuffed as her black shades dropped to the tip of her nose to revel her tear filled eyes. She wiped one away "it kind of hurts" the crowd cooed in awe.
Asano smiled sweetly to calm her "I'm sure you'll do fine"
She nodded "ok then" she readied her guitar "please forgive me if it not to your taste." She placed her fingers on the first note. Her sadden eyes turned sharp as that dark smirk appeared for a brief second. Her eyes aimed at the couple as he strummed her first strong note, then a second and their in softer tones. She put them together more fluent and strummed another two fast but define cords. After that the music flowed so smoothly. It was a sweet, playful, upbeat tone but something about makes you feel soothing is about to get down. Yuko open her mouth and sang in a firm tone:
Hey you over there
What you'd thing you're doing?
Come now, don't you dare stare
You know you had this coming
Ever since you pushed him on the ground
And he made that painful sound
I knew it was time
.
Let me give you some advice
Because I'm that nice
But I guess it's too late
Because you made that mistake
Oh well just listen up-up-up
Before you're strike down—
.
Don't mess with me
Don't mess with my friends
Don't mess with my style
If you do, pray you don't see me for awhile
Don't mess mood
And if you're rule
Karma will strike back at you
So don't mess with me.
She ended with a few more note. Then made a gun with her right her and pretended to shoot "bang" They all were sunned in amazement as the girl expression changed to worry "was I bad?"
"No" most shouted out.
"You were amazing" Asano complimented then darted a glared as the two "I'll need to have a word with you both later" he said darkly. The couple shook in fear as they tried to talk out of this situation by blaming each other. But they only ended up being ignored. They then augured with each other and ended with a wrestled match on the ground.
As this happen Yuko came forward with to tea cups "I'm really sorry about this" she said back in her monotone ways. "Here have some coffees" reluctantly they took a slip letting the warm substance calm them. Soon they felt a kick in there stomachs.
"There's something wrong with my stomach"
"Was it the coffee?"
Coffee? The assassin thought as they noticed the two coffee cups they were drinking were gone. O oh. They grinned evilly for what is about to happen. The two looked like they were having a serious case of ingestion and fought their way to the bath room. They screamed and shout at each other as to who will go first.
Suzuki slowly closed the door. "Well that was something. I don't know what happened my coffee was made by the fines ingredients" he turned to the crowd with a scornful look "apologies for the scene ladies and gens"
"No I should be the one apologizing" Asano said "I really don't know what's gotten into those two but be assured I and my father will have a word with them" he said I a darkened tone. "At any case I apologize for any harsh words they said to you Miss…" he bowed slightly.
"Yukimura" she finished "and it's not a problem." She heard barking nearby and saw the stubby legged dog chasing its little tail. She snapped her fingers and it froze. Then she whistled and the dog came towards her. She knelt down and handed out her palm but the dog turned away. "Come on spit it out." The dog eyed her but then unrolled it's long tongue to give her the slavering item. She gave it a thorough clean. Through the slaver was an antic bracelet with foreign writing of sort. She handed it over to Asano
"Is that dog yours" he said bitterly while he glared at the mutt.
"No he's a friend's. By the way is that Agni work?"
Asano was surprise "you know him?"
She nodded "I met his master Devdan on one of my travels with my father to Indian. He was just an apprentice at the time but I hear he's made quite a name for himself" she looked closer at the bracelet "I can see why. He's starting to grow out of his mater old habits. He used to be a copycat" she explained.
"Really?" Asano asked intrigued "what is it that separates him from his master?"
"Well the most obvious is that he used different materials to make the beads. Devdan only uses one for each creation. He also curls his letters a little more and he added a design at the beginning and end of the message" she pointed to them.
Asano leaned in closer "ah I never really noticed that" he then noticed how close he was with the girl and backed away and she did the same. "Sorry about that" he said tried to hide his embarrassment. "I'm Gakushu Asano by the way"
"Asano?" she questioned "are you the devil principle's son?"
He paled devil principle? Then it hit him "wait are you Yuko Yukimura?" she nodded with a blank face. This new information slowly sinks in and he snapped "hold on, you're the girl who's annoying my father?"
"I won't say annoying more like rebelling" she said calmly.
"Don't you know how much trouble you're causing? If you keep this up you'll get expelled probably never go to high school then live on the streets" he exaggerated.
"That can never happen" she told him "my destiny has already been chosen and it can never be change by anything"
"Speaking about your density you have a promise to up hold" Suzuki sneaked up behind with a dark cheeky grin. She nodded with a sigh. With a bright smile he clapped his hands "girls take her away" a group of women in similar plain uniforms came and grabbed her. They took her inside and the sound of ripping fabric can be heard through the walls.
"We found Karma boss" another group came trotting by with the redhead tied up.
"When did I become a part of this" he growled as he was also taken in. Screams of torment could be heard as well as crashed pottery and sliver wear. "You are not making me do this" the boy howled. The sound of crashing, smashing and clanging noise ringed at the other side of the door. "Let me go!" There was a choir of no's as the rambling continued.
The noise was silenced as the door creaked open. A group of bruised as tatted clothes women crawled out. Their eyes gleamed as they pulled a thumps up "all done"
"Karma put up a fight but we managed"
"Yuko's dress was a little big but we were able to tailor it to size"
Suzuki beamed with delight. "Great now let see the final product. Come on out you two"
"No way!"
"If I'm going out there so are you kit"
"How did you find me in the first place?"
"Just get out there"
The next thing they knew Karma stumbled out the door. They crowd gazed on awe and somewhat shock at his attire. He wore crimson ankle length kimono with delicate golden design and trimmings. His obi was emerald green with a charcoal ribbon at the centre. He was covered with a dark rose colour haori with red trimmings and a golden outline of a circle with an embroidered fox head. His head was faced down with a blush as he twirled his foot around. "You look wonderful" the crowd cheered.
He growled at their approval "I look like someone plucked out from Sengoku Japan."
Yuko stepped out next. A plain yet regal one shoulder dress adorned her petite frame. The fabric on her shoulder was connected by a golden medallion with an on engraving. It appeared to be a reverse J with an extended top with a pair of claw marks in between the top and bottom. Excess fabric flowed out behind her. A gold cloth was wrapped around her waist and parts of her dress puffed out from the top of it. Her modern shades clashed with the elegant attire. Reason why she kept them on was a mystery. She looked at herself "I never knew Greek attire was a part of our culture"
"It's not Greek!" Suzuki yelled offended.
"But it's this a toga commonly worn in ancient Greek" she augured.
"Look we can either argue for hours or we can finish this whole thing quickly and you two can get out of those costumes" the man groaned. The two gave each other a look and nodded. "Good now they the show go on. Here are your props." He gave Yuko a translucent silk cloth with a rainbow shine while Shishiwakamaru gave Karma a pair of golden fans with black ridges.
"Are we really going to do this in the rain?" Karma groaned as he took the fans.
"Why not the rain never hurt anyone" and so Yuko hopped out and landed in first position ballet . With a sigh Karma copied her and crossed his arms in an x with the fans in hand.
"You both ready?" Shishiwakamaru asked "hit it Puu" the penguin popped up from nowhere and gave those around it a fright. It then pressed a button on a nearby. Soothing intramural, traditional music played through the storm.
Yuko was fist to move as she stepped on the puddles quite sharply with each step. Her movements were sharp and precise in both her legs and arms. She pranced round and round causing he skirt to fly up a little and the raindrops were knocked off here and there. She tied to keep in time but her tempo was a tad fast for the music. Suzuki noticed the flaws "you need to loosen up a bit" he advised "you need to let your movements flow with the music and slow down a little"
Karma stared by flaring up his fan. He hopped out of position a skipped elegant through the watery path. He waved his fans around in a flowing yet sloppy motion. His feet were elegantly moved to the next step but were quite sluggish. It was Shishiwakamaru turn to judge and advice "Karma straighten up those arms and your tempo is slow. Go faster" with sly grin Karma in as told but in a ridiculous pace that made them see blurs. "Not like that!" Shishiwakamaru sighed "this is going to be harder than in thought"
"Well it not like they're bad I know they can do better" Suzuki though "perhaps they need so motivation"
"And how are we going to do that?"
As they bairn stormed together the assassination gang watched in awe. Never in their lives would they expect to see such a marvellous elegant scene performed by those two. Especially, form Karma. "I don't care what those guys say they're amazing" Sugaya complimented.
Korosensei nodded "they are to the untrained eye but I do see their flaws. But nothing a little practice can't fix"
Ring! Ring! "hello"
"Guys what the hold up!?" screamed a trio of angry teens. It was then they realised three of their members are still up a tree waiting for their que from the plan that never happened. "Seriously how much longer to we have to wait!"
Sugaya Laughed nervously "funny story" he retold the resent events.
"Are you saying we waited all this time for nothing!"
"Sorry guys"
"Damn I really wish I could see that" one groaned.
"Me too" moaned another.
"Don't worry Karma was videotaping everything before he got kidnapped…" a thought came to mind "now that I think about it. How did those girls get up here and took him? Did anyone notice them?" the class shook their head in no. They thought for a while but then shrugged it off "anyway switch to video chat you guys have to see this" they did as told and he faced the camera to the scene below.
"Is that Karma?" they questioned.
"I never thought he could dance so gracefully"
"I never thought he could dance"
"I really hope their costumes don't get ruined in the rain"
"I don't think they would send them out there if they would" they watched in awe as the show continued. Then the unexpected happened. A hand grabbed hold of the two dancers. They stopped as they felt the familiar presents. The rain stopped too as the cloud parted ways. Heaven rays burst though as a stoplight formed around them.
With Karma his hand was captured by a man in a dark fuchsia colour trench coat that reached his ankles. He gazed in to the boy's eyes with gently smiling emeralds eyes. His fire red hair was tamed with a bubble. However some still flared out in a spike pony tail. He smiled sweetly "hello Karma" he greeted in a soft tone "surprise?" He was more than surprised. He was completely frozen in shock. The man sighed with a head shake as he turned to the equally shocked crowd. "May I have some fans please" he asked politely.
Suzuki nodded "sure" mindlessly he threw the fans over and that man caught them.
"Thank you" he turned to the boy "how about this time you have a partner?"
"Ahh…" that was all he could say.
Yuko had a similar experience but with a different man. He also wore a trench coat however it was a different design and was coloured green. Near the bottom it flared out into a V as a train curled behind him. His eyes were a dark chocolate and his hair was black with a hint forest green. It slicked back for a kind of cool guy effect. He ginned cheeky "hey Yuko miss me?" Silence. "Speechless huh? Well hope you don't mind having a partner for an encore." He held his arm out "Shishi" a light green cloth floated to him. "Thank you" he straightened it out "let's get this show started" he bowed.
The other man bowed as well. The kids stared at each other but then followed example. The red haired man made the first move as he got in to quite a feminine pose while gently flapping his fans. Karma did the same. With a smile the man flapped out into a T. he then tossed the fans behind him, tumbled backwards into a kneeling position and caught the fans before they dropped. After seeing that advance move Karma gulped and stared at his fans and back at the man. He nodded him to go on. With a silent sight he copied the man almost perfectly with a few blunders. The man smiled as he hopped he up and turned his back around. One fan was flared at his back while the other was above his head as he gave a side glance. Karma did the same with a huge grin on his face.
That's when everything flowed as they did one step after other in perfect sync. They hopped in and out of and invisible line as they travelled in a circle all the while swapping their arms around with one up and one down in a fluent motion. They spun inward and as they passed each other they let go of their fans and transferred them to the other. They caught them in time before striking what looked like a battle pose. Once more they leaped into the centre then turned their backs on one another. They elegantly moved their arms like the gentle wind before swapping the fans again in a game of catch. Swiftly, they turned to face the over and brought their fans together. They bowed their heads to end. The crowd cheered in delight and it wasn't just the old one. More people were attracted by the event and move in to sneak a peek. The man laughed at the sight "you've attracted quite a crowd"
"We attracted quite the crowd" Karma corrected.
The man nodded "even so you've done well my boy"
His eyes widen in delight as light shone around him "do you really mean that?"
"Of course" Karma felt his feet off the as he floated to cloud 9. Too bad that cloud is going to pop in three, two, one… "However your posture was too stiff, your arms were too lax and you stumbled from time to time so you need to work on balance" he said with a cheerful smile.
Karma's cloud of happiness turned grey as he fell back to reality. With a fist of anger he screamed "you just had to mix the salt with the sugar didn't you?"
With a small giggle the man said "but of course how else would you improve if you don't know your mistake." In a state of depression Karma dropped his head in defeat.
The other pair laughed at the sight. Well at least the man did Yuko stayed blank as usual but she did found it amusing . "So shall we do ours?" the man asked as he extended his hand.
Yuko nodded "of course" she took his hand as they widen their arms apart. Their veils tightly held out wards. They took each step together in a perfect circle. Their veils sparkled and glowed behind them as the waved in the wind. The switched at circled the other way until the man spun her in his arms and spun her out again. Their coloured veils cashed in beauty as they created a more magical scene. The sparkling drops around them and the mirror image below enhance this effect. They leaped outwards from each other. With a swirl of their arms they made a figure of eight in the air with their cloths. They changed the shape to a swirling spiral above then a perfect circle as the spun round. They continued to spin as the circled each other. Once again their colours clashed and intertwined. They created a colourful wave like motion as the lifted them down and up hypnotised the crowd.
"Ooohhh" the crowd cooed.
They stopped to face each other. They lifted their veils in an arching motion over their heads. Then they did it in the other direction. They held them up as high as they could above their heads. Then the man warped an arm around her waist and he lifted her up. Yuko pointed one leg out as other kneed his hip. The twirled around in circles. Then she grabbed his veil then was thrown in the air. The cloth flared around her as she looked like she grew a pair of butterfly wings. She circled her body to face the ground below. She saw the people gazed in awe at the sight and the man patiently waited for her. She took a deep breath as gravity kicked in. she twirled herself in a cocoon of colours she headed down. She managed to get her self right side up before landing in his arms. He embraced her and hid her from the crowd. He grabbed her hands and spun her out of the cocoon and in to the butterfly for all to see. The crowd clapped and cheered as they took an ending bow. "You've done well my little girl."
"Thank you father."
"Puu puu!" the penguin cheered as it flapped up to its master and greeted him with a snuggle.
He stroke its beak "hey there Puu hope you've been taking good care of Yuko for me."
"Yusuke!" The oddly dress crowd cheers as they dog piled on top of him.
"Nice to see you guys too"
Suzuki smiled as he saw his old friends "Yusuke, K…" Shishiwakamaru stomped on his foot before he said something he would regret "Shuichi it's good to see you both again"
They raced up to them "what are you guys doing here?" Shishiwakamaru asked.
"Well we were in the neighborhood and thought we say hi" the man in green replied.
The other man spotted the E class girls. He walked up to them with a smile "hello there I couldn't help but notice you both are wearing Kunugigaoka uniform. By any chance are you two pretty young ladies in Karma's classmate?" they blushed a little at the sight of the handsome man and nodded dumbly. "Allow me to introduce myself I'm Shuichi Akabane Karma's father. My friend over there is Yusuke U…" he coughed "Yukimura Yuko's father." He laughed at himself nervously "pardon me I got a bit of a cold. Anyway hope my son isn't causing a lot of trouble for you all. He can be quite mischievous to say the least" he glanced at the boy with a cheesy smile.
"He's no trouble at all" they said flustered.
"That's good to hear" he said happily then turned to his son with a dark look "though I have a hard time believing that" the boy shrugged and stuck his tongue out.
Meanwhile, Yusuke was smothering his daughter in a hug "you look so adorable" he cooed. Quickly, in got to his phone from his breast pocket and aimed the camera at them. "Say cheese" Yuko stayed blank faced as the flash when out. Yusuke looked at the picture of his happy go lucky self and his emotionless faced daughter "close enough" he shrugged. "So how you've been?"
"Fine"
"How's class?"
"Fine"
"How's your classmates?"
"Fine"
"Can you give me anything new but fine?" he laughed
Yuko thought for a while "well there is one thing" she admitted "I think I finally found it" her father nodded her to carry on "my reason to fight"
He smile proudly "that's great. You're on step closer to surpassing me" then in a blink of an eye he got her in a head lock. "But you still have a long way to go kiddo" he said playfully as he ruffed up her hair laughing all the while.
Back up in the building next door, "that's Yuko's father?" Sugino exclaimed "I thought he would be like Yuko. An almost emotionless robot but he seems pretty playful"
"Forget Yuko's father what about Karma?" Terasaka yelled at the top of his lugs. "He looks like a girl but acts like…"
A hyper blonde cut in with sparkling eyes "a complete gentleman" she squealed "the way he asked questions so politely. The way he danced so elegantly. The way he smiled so bright his teeth sparkled." She sighed dreamily "how does someone like that create thing like Karma?" they all asked themselves but came up with nothing.
Suddenly, their thoughts were interrupted by an unfamiliar sound and a gust of powerful winds. A helicopter appeared in the scene"Get back in here you two!" screamed an angry voice.
"Damn it they found us" Yusuke spat under his breath.
"They were bound to eventually" Shuichi commented with a sigh.
Yuko tugged on her father's sleeve and looked deeply in his eyes "you jumped out the helicopter when you were over the city" he nodded "dragged Shuichi out the door" he nodded again "you have another job in next 24 hours"
"25" he corrected "but I guess we have to go know" he sighed. "Yo big guy" he called out to a sumo wrestler size man "mind giving me and my pal here a boost?" He nodded and readied his hands. He and Shuichi crouched into sprinting positions and dashed to the man's palm. He lunched the two up in the air and they grabbed hold of the dangling out of the helicopter. "Don't for get to take care of yourself kiddo"
"And Karma try to stay out of trouble"
"I make no promises" Karma yelled to his father.
"I'll do my best" Yuko said to her father.
The fathers waved goodbye as they climbed up the ladder. The entered the darken cockpit and was greeted by a cold voice. "Do you have any idea how worried I was when you two jumped out in there in the middle of a thunder storm?"
"Awe has the cold dragon finally admits he cares for his teammates" Yusuke mocked.
"No" he spat "I was worried that if you both died I'll be stuck with this imbecile" he pointed to the pilot.
"Hey this imbecile was able to build this copter we're currently flying on" he defended himself.
"Settle down you two" Shuichi said calmly as he stopped bickering. "So what is our next mission?"
"Several kids have gone missing in Hong Kong China" the pilot replied "we have to find them and the one responsible"
"Speaking of kids" Yusuke changed the subject as he snuggled comfortably in the leather set. "Karma sure as grown"
Shuichi sat next to him "he may have grown in high but that childlike cockiness is still there. But Yuko sure has changed. I never expected her to pull a stunt like that." He rubbed his chin in thought "I wonder why she did such an act? It's not like she wouldn't do that without reason."
"You have a point" Yusuke thought with him "there is something different about her." He thought back to what she told him "when she said she found it there was a glimmer in her eye. Like that wall she hides in is cracking. Now that I think about it I never asked what her reason was. Oh well I'll ask her the next time I see her…whenever that is"
Bang! "What was that?" the pilot asked.
"The sound of a possible end" Shuichi replied
Yusuke smirked "I hope those kids prove me right or else I'll have to take Yuko back".
Down below a new event started. The crowd gasped in shock as the scene unfolded. The assassins were dumbfounded at the sight with hearts at a standstill. Even Yuko was caught off as she saw Karma shielded her. With a face of pain and agony he fell into her arms. She wrapped around him and felt a strange substance. She stared at the red stained hand. "Run" he whispered weakly "they're after you" with that he fainted. Quickly, Yuko cheacked his paule but it was gone. He had no heart beat.
Her eyes darted to the area where the sound came from. She saw a man. He wore entirely black with a high collar trench coat, a face hiding fedora and a rifle gun "I see" she tuned tailed and ran.
Back with the assassins, Korosensei turned pitch black "who dares hurt my student"
"Korosensei look" one of the students yelled as they pointed to the black sniper. The sniper stood up in the sunlight. As the class stared at the burning rays they swore they started seeing triple. A mirage they hoped. But it wasn't. It was real. The trio jumped off the building and ran off tailing the girl. The crowd were too concern about Karma to notice they pass by.
As the octopus saw this he was ready to rip them apart and jump out the window. However the students told him it would be to risky. The area was too public and there no telling what would happen if the people saw their octopus teacher. And so he made a proposal "you students will save her"
"But we have no time to plan!"
"Then we just have to improvise and fast"
"I have an idea!" Kataoka announced "but we need to get in touch with her" she got out her phone "Ritsu can you get in contact with her?"
The cyber girl shook her head "I'm afraid not" a map of the area with a bleep dot appeared beside her "her phone appears to be still in the café"
"Damn we have to get in contact we her somehow." She though in a panic "we need some to catch up we her and keep in contact with Ritsu. But who's fast enough to catch up with them now…" the class immediately turned to their fastest runner. Masayoshi Kimura.
He gulped as he pointed at himself "me?" they all nodded. He sighed "but they're so far ahead I don't think I can catch up with them even with my speed."
"Then use these" Korosensei dangled a pair of roller blades in front of his face. Within seconds the boy was dressed for the roller derby. With the final touch of a helmet he knocked on his skull "safety first"
"Where did you find all this?"
"It was in Karma's bag labelled 'quick getaway'" he explained. "As for the clothes let's just say there's more where that came from"
"Ok but I still don't think I can catch up to her"
"Leave that to us" Okuda assured "Chiba, Hayami are you both ready?"
They were in firing position out the window "lock and loaded" they replied then shot a something at the black trio. As it landed at their feet a gooey substance busted from the capsule and attacked their feet. They were stopped like a rat on a glue mat.
"That should give you some time" Hayami said as they turned around but their fast friend was gone. They next thing they knew he was speeding out the door. "He really is fast"
"Well we can't relax now. Remember a good assassin always carries a second blade" Korosensei remained his class. "Who else has any other plans?" a few placed a hand up "excellent" the blonde girl was busting to speak "Nakamura"
She smiled mischievously "I have the perfect place to make the final blow" she showed him a map with a circled area.
Korosensei shared that smiled as he showed the class "interesting choice but how to get there?"
The class's eyes gleamed evilly "leave that to us"
Back in the café, Kayano got a text explaining what is going on. "I don't believe this" she huffed "we have to go help Yuko. I don't like the sound of these men in black" she stood up to leave and turned to her partner "coming Nagisa?"
He shook his head "I'll stay and make sure Karma's ok" she nodded in understanding as she ran though the rattled crowd with the other girls.
Meanwhile, Kimura was able to bush pass the trapped men and caught up with Yuko. He scooped her up bridal style. "Hello there are you ok?" she nodded with a blank face. "Great" he swirled around to see the men still struggling to get free. "Maybe we don't need to run away. It doesn't seem like they can escape." He jinxed it. At that very moment the ground cracked around their feet as they each lifted up a pair of concrete slabs. The glue was still active but now the can move- frightfully fast to say the least.
"Shall we run?" Yuko asked calmly
"No" Kimura replied "we skate for our lives!" as fast as he possibly could he skated to who knows where. He could hear the thumping sound of concrete smashing concrete as the men got used to their new glue and concrete shoes. Slowly, they started to catch up as Kimura heart rose. He then felt a vibrating in his hand. He flipped out his phone "Ritsu you got to help me!"
"Clam down Kimura and take a left here and head forward" she told the panicked boy.
The boy frantically nodded and stared at the calm girl in his arms. "How are you so calm?" she shrugged in respond and he groaned. As ordered in took a left and raced down the puddled fill street. The worst part of this was the fact the men was always a hand grab a way to get them. He leaned forward as he felt the fingertips touch his shirt but before he got caught tree branches fell on top off them. Taking this golden opportunity he raced on.
"Thank you for cutting those troublesome branches for me" cheered a middle aged woman from the other side of the fence "you all as so skilled"
"Well we had a bit of troubled" Isogai lied "but we managed"
"How's about you kids come inside of a treat?" the woman offered.
"No thank you" Maehara replied "we really have to be going" he pretended to fall and the snaps of branches and groans were heard.
"Is he alright?" the woman asked concerned.
"You he's fine" Okano assured. "Some nice men caught him. Well we better get going." The two waved goodbye and dropped off the branches they were hiding in. They pinned down the men below as they groaned in pain.
Maehara looked at one darkly "I don't know what you want with Yuko but you're not getting it. Whether it's for this spirit wave thing or something else you're not taking her away" he placed more pressure on the man's back but he seemed unfazed.
"You care for her?"
Maehara blushed "well no she just a friend." He denied "but she did helped me out today and yesterday and I plan to pay her back"
The man smirked "that's very sweet" then his face went dark "but you have to try harder than this." All three of them break free of the children's hold and ran after their goal but one of them was taken down by the three students. As he fell into a puddled he yelled "go the girl is our target" with a nod they left.
Kimura continued to straight pass the almost empty streets. The familiar sound of slamming concrete kicked in "oh no not them again. Ritsu where to now?"
"Head right" he followed the order pasted a stop light. There stood a familiar old lady and a couple of junior school girls.
As the men passed by and the elderly lady collapsed "grandma!" the girls yelled.
The men stopped and ran to the crippled woman "are you ok ma'am?" one asked
"My heart it burns" she said weakly gripping her chest.
The man nodded the other to go but the girls stopped him. "Please help our grandma" the begged with puppy dog eyes.
Succumbed to their plead he stated. Then he noticed a car driving nearby. He broke through the girl's hold and stopped the driver. With a screaming honk the driver pulled the brakes "watch it you idiot I'm driving"
"I'm terribly sorry sir but there an elderly woman over there in need of a hospital. I think she's having a heart attack" he explained. The man took one look over the crying girls and agreed to take them to the hospital. With a smile the man in black quickly grabbed to old woman in his arms and placed her inside. "Take care ma'am"
"Thank you" she said weak and surprised.
The other man loaded up the two girls "I'm sure your grandma will be alright. Now we really must be going" he slammed the door goodbye and they rushed off in search of their target.
The girls blinked twice "they were nice for bad guys" one said.
"And were stronger like mister Karasuma" the other added.
The other two laughed at the comment until their cyber friend called. "Ritsu is everything ok?" the elderly looking one whispered.
"Everything is going fine just mean us at the final battle ground" the girls nodded as they drove off to the hospital.
The improvise plan was coming together like pieces of a puzzle. Kimura stared down a dark alley as he heard the booming footsteps again. He breathed heavily as he sweated like a pig. He peeped around the corner and saw the men frantically searching. He pressed his back to the graphed brick wall jittering. "Can you please put me down now?" the girl in his arms asked.
"Oh yeah" he dropped her "so what are we going to do now?"
"How's about you look up"
They did and saw some familiar faces waving back at them. "Terasaka!" the boy yelled. They all glared at him with the 'you idiot' look. He covered his mouth as be figured out his mistake . He glanced beside him and saw the men in black. One was cracking his knuckles while the other was punching his palm. "Umm hi"
"Get over here" Terasaka angrily dragged the boy up the ladder. His companions Hazama and Muramatsu were throwing garbage to slow the men down. "Go on ahead"
"Why are you doing this?" Yuko asked.
"Don't ask questions and get going!" with heavy hesitation she climbed up to the roof. "Alright guys lets drop these guys." He saw one of them climbing the rickety ladder. "Oh no you don't" with the strength of a gorilla he tired shake him off. Yet he still held tightly. His two companions grabbed a nearby garbage bin and dumped the disgusting muck down. They were able to stop him dead in his tracks. Then they dropped the bin on him. With a yelp he was blinded. His hands slipped off the bars and he dropped on his partner. "Got them! Let's get out of here" they rushed up to the top.
The men wiped away the sludge "this kids are better than we thought" one man giggled as he peeled off a banana peel from his hat. "I really want to get them now"
"Yeah" the other agreed as he spit a rotten fish bone out his mouth. "Let's go" they raced up to the roof. They were shocked at the sight.
"Everyone ready?" half the class had handmade slingshot with various materials that looked like they came out of the garbage. "Aim. Fire!" they launched each bit of slop they had on them. It ranged from rotten eggs to fish bones and mystery meat that smelled like the combination of raw fish, moldy cheese and fresh manure. There was also a rat in the mix. Then it came time they ran out of junk the men were steaming mad as their suites looked more green then black. "Everyone jump!" and so they all took a dive to the other side of the building.
The men ran to the edge and so each one of them landed safely on a bed sheet held by four of their accomplices. "Try and catch us now losers" yelled Nakamura with her tongue out. They were twenty meters off the ground with no way down. How can they possibly…
They jumped down and landed perfectly on solid ground. They were even able to crack through those concrete shoes and made marks on the floor. They glared at the children menacingly "any last words"
With a nervous laugh Nakamura volunteered "just a couple" she reached off something behind her and struck a victory pose. "Smoke boom" she threw the pill on the ground and then they were covered by a thick suffocating fog.
As it cleared they were all gone. Laughter of children reached though the alley ways. They had several path ways to follow. "Now we're could she have gone?" question one man slyly as he glanced at his partner.
He sniffed the misty air "she went that way" he pointed to the second one to the left.
Yuko rush though the rotten ally way alone. She stopped and turned behind her but no one. Slowly, she stepped backwards. Then a strong grip grabbed her arm as it was twist and pinned to her back "unhand me!" she demanded.
"Sorry but no you mean too much" her capture man in black whispered voice muffed "now come quietly with us" the girls struggled but couldn't get free. But she wasn't weak. The man needed his partner to help him drag her and keep her in check. As they combined power they pulled her out. Then they saw quite an unsightly sight in front of them. The burned red as steam whistled out. Their grip loosened as the fell with nose bleeds.
The girl looked at them confused as and magazine tilled ecchi bikini monthly hanging above her with fishing line. "I can't believe that worked," one of her bald classmates Okajima jumped out of the garbage can nearby. "Perviness saved the day!" he yelled in victory and looked at Yuko. "What are you doing here you were supposed to head straight at the second right ally"
"This isn't the second right ally?"
"No" he grabbed her hand "let's get you can on track"." They raced through cracks and jump pass garage hurled to get to where they need to be. "So do you know those guys are?" Okajima panted.
She shook her head I "never seen them in my life. Now that I think about it the only group in black that has it out for me is…" the chill winds shocked her "we need to go" she picked up the pace so hard that Okajima is flying behind her as she ran randomly. "You're all in danger"
"Who are they?"
"I can't say"
"Can you at least run in the right direction?"
She stopped "what do you mean?"
"Come on" he took the lead once more but before they could a loud beep ringed.
"Hey where have you guys been?" yelled a ticked off dreadlocks classmate on a motorcycle. It was a slick black old model with mirror sliver trimmings. It had a small sidecar attached to the side was occupied with the class best female sniper.
"Sorry Yoshida you to Hayami Yuko here didn't follow the directions well"
"Hey you" the two men screamed as they saw them through a narrow gap.
They panicked "never mind that hop on!"
Yuko rode with Yoshida while Okajima snuggled with Hayami "don't try anything with me pervert"
"I won't"
"I'll believe it when I see it" she groaned as loaded her gun. "let's go" and so the drove off. A mile in the open road they made it to the free way by the sea. Time passed and they couldn't help but look back and no one "are they gone?"
"Why don't we ask the guys in front!" Yoshida yelled as he saw the tiny muscular silhouette in the distance.
Okajima grabbed his imaginary hair "what are we going to do!"
"We're going ahead full throttle" they all exclaimed maddens at Yuko's suggestion. "Trust me" with jittery teeth and a silent prayer he dashed ahead no turning back. The figures grew bigger and as their hearts beats faster. "Hold on tight everyone" they all did as the attackers were only a foot or two in front of them. With a deep breath Yuko slipped a ring on her index finger and pointed a gun hand to the ground. The tip sparked with invisible light. Then boom! They were lifted high. The men watched as they flew over their head with gaping mouths.
Yoshida held the handle bars as his behind was lifted up with Yuko attached to his hip. Okajima almost flew out but Hayami grabbed him back in. They landed right where they were before with little trouble a dashed off. "What was that!" Yoshida screamed.
"Don't ask questions!" Yuko yelled as she pointed the gun hand at the men. Unfortunately, they came pass a pot hole. It was small but it was enough to shake the motorcycle and made the ring slip pass her finger. "No!" Yuko tried to retrieve it but her classmates pulled her in before she was dropped out. She watched in get crushed underneath a man's foot. "Damn"
"What are you doing?"
"What did I say about say about questions?" she muttered darkly. She turned back at the men slowly gaining up. "Can this thing go faster?" Yoshida shook no. "There as to be away to slow them down"
"Allow me" Hayami readied her gun. Shoot after shoot she tried out every mystery science pellets Okuda gave her. Out came smoke, sticky glue, slippery slime, knockout gas, laughing gas even frozen nitrogen but no effect. Mainly because she couldn't land a proper hit on either of the men. They were too fast and agile and so were able to dodge each one. The only reason they knew it was knockout and laughing gas is because a pair of ducks passed by and inhaled the air. One dropped dead as sleep while the other honked in laughter down. "This is bad I can't hit them" she groaned as she reloaded her gun but it made a strange noise. "More bad news I'm out of ammo" she throw out the empty pellet box out.
"We're all going to die!"
"Cut it out Okajima" Yoshida growled tiring to keep a straight face, it soon become frightful "who I'm I kidding we're goners" they screamed like hell.
Yuko kept quite as she stared at her index finger. Please work she begged in her mind as her finger shook nervously. Please work she shut her eyes tight as she bit her lip so hard blood poured out. I don't want to lose anyone. With that her finger sparked brighter than ever before. She was shocked at the light but quickly snapped out and aimed at the attackers. With one big ball of energy she blasted them off the road down to whatever awaits them in the ocean.
The students gasped "how did you do that?"
She stared at her finger "to be honest I don't know. I never really done anything like that before"
"Who cares let's get out of here" Yoshida said "soothing tells me we haven't seen the lasted of them" the dove back in land trying to get enough distance from those men as possible.
They were right to run. Very soon the men jumped out of the small waves and hooked on to the cliffs "did you knew she could do that?
"No you?"
"No" he snickered "this is going to be more fun than I thought. Let's get after them" with that she defied gravity and ran up the vertical cliff with nothing but dust behind them. They landed on stable ground with smiles ear to ear. "Let's end this" with speed of unworldly per potions they searched. They followed the light sent mixed with spice and vanilla. "Her sent is growing stronger"
"Indeed" they took a few more turns until they reached the entrance or an old factory "they're in there" he took a quick snuff. "There are 26 others with her. We should be careful" the opened the rusty gate door. Light cut thought the shadows. There stood Yuko along with almost the whole of E class. Their eyes gleamed as they gestured them to come at them. They growled and charged at full strength. Suddenly, the ground ripped apart and they fell soaking wet again but this time it wasn't sea water. "What the?"
"Now Chiba"
Bang! Thump! A giant box trapped them under. "Bulls-eye!" Chiba jumped out of hiding and joined the rest of the class.
"I think we finally got them" they cheered.
"Or do you" said the ominous voice. It was then they remembered: they eliminated two members but there were three. There right above them was the third and final member of the men in black. He smirked wickedly as he dangled their captured and unconscious classmates in his hand. "Now hand over the girl and your friends won't get hurt." Everything was at a standstill. With the tables turned what will they do? Let him take Yuko for reasons unknown but most likely horrible. Or fight back and risk losing three off their best friends. Either way they lose something dear.
Yuko took a stand "I'll go with you." They all stared shocked even the capture was off guard. She took a few more steps forward "just leave these children be" the students tried to stop her but she continued to march on "I swear I'll protect this class with everything I got" with burning determination in her cold eyes she stared in to his. "and that's what I'm going to do"
"Young miss"
"What?" something felt familiar with that voice. "Wait a second" she jumped up and kicked him off the bridge. She grabbed the captured three and threw them with the others before she jumped down and landed on the man's chest "I know that voice anywhere" she ripped the hat off then "Hokushin what are you doing?"
A young bald man with a pale complexion smiled nervously at her "hello young miss we came to check you"
"Check on me…wait if you're here then that means. Oh no Touou Seitei" she race over to the giant crate and smashed in two with one kick. The crowd stared impressed and confused. Then a pair of bald men's heads popped out of the water. One had a muscular, tough looking facial suture with hard eyes. The other had a leaner bone suture with soft, calm eyes. "Are you two alright?"
"We're more than more than alright" they jumped out of the water holding piranha-gator fish bigger than them. "We caught dinner"
"That's great and all but please tell me what on earth is going on" there was a hint of anger in her voice.
Hokushin stood up to explain "well we worry when master Yusuke told us he sent you to a human school out of nowhere. We begged in to recogniser but said no. Then he told us: 'if you're so worried about her you a check on her! If you want you can even test the whole class. Now live me alone!' that what he said before he slapped the door on us. And so we came up with this whole facade to see if this so called assassination classroom is good enough to take care of you."
Yuko nodded in understandingly at his explanation but something seemed off "I believed everything but 'we came up with this'. You three aren't conniving enough to plan this" she said suspiciously "the only one who is … the kit"
"Hello Yuko" Karma greed her as he flew in with Korosensei and Nagisa.
"Karma" the class screamed "we thought you were shot!"
"I was" he admits innocently "with a pellet of my own blood and a needle with paralyzing poison to stop my heart beat for 10 minutes."
"Karma told me everything" Korosensei groaned with annoyance.
"I can't believe you Karma you really had me worried" Nagisa groaned beside him.
He shrugged his shoulders with a carefree smile "sorry"
"Sorry won't cut it kit" Yuko hissed behind him. A dark inhuman aura swirled around her as her sharp eyes beamed red. "You're going to get kit. Come here" she jumped on him for a brutal beating. She slammed in one the floor, fling him on the walls, pulled violently on his hair, swung him like a rag doll, straggled him till blue, kicked and punch in places that should not be said and twisted his body into forms that seemed unnatural. Then she repeated the process while he cried mercy.
The bald three trio sighed "she's just like her father" Seitei commented "she had his courage"
"And his strength" Touou added
"And his temperament" Hokushin tried to say with a smile. But they sighed once more.
Korosensei introduced himself to the bald trio "hello you must be Yuko guardians I'm her teacher Korosensei" the shook hands as the violent beating tumbled behind him.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Hokushin and these are my companion. Touou and Seitei" he shook back with the smiled as the tumble-weed of pain rolled behind them.
"I understand you a worried about Miss Yukimura safety. Know that I will do my best to protect her and make sure she has a proper education" he swore "that is if my class pass the test"
Everything froze. The hearts of the class boomed in their ears. Did they pass or not? If they didn't will they lose Yuko? If they did then what? They eagerly awaited an answer. Firmly, the three nodded "you pass" the class cheered in victory. Then they bowed respectfully before them "please take care of our young miss she means everything to us"
"One last thing" Yuko dropped the unconscious Karma and walked in front of the class. She then bowed deeply with her guardians "allow me to protect this class and help them with anything. May it be big or small I am willing to help"
Korosensei stared at his newly acquired student "you really care for this class?"
"Well I don't really understand it myself. They did everything they could to protect me from Rando so a wanted to pay them back" she explained "but it's more than that. Something inside tells me I must do this no I want to do this. When Maehara was put down the other day I wanted nothing but revenge. And now when you all tried to protect me form an unknown threat a strange tickle touched my chest. I don't understand any of this but I don't think it's a bad thing. So please allow me to protect you all from whatever may come."
Korosensei was so touched he cried "how could I say no to that. But member you still have to kill me and you will allow us the protect you." with that said he bowed to them "on behalf of my class we humbly accept both your offers"
And so another day ends for the assassination classroom.
