lumigo akvo9504: Glad you liked it so much! I tried my best with Karma and Gakushuu, so thanks for telling me I actually did a good job instead of just making them look totally OOC's. Don't worry, the twins are coming soon! But I still not sure when the hosts will find out myself, so it may take a while.

Caibb: Yeeeah, I've been expecting it too, if I'm honest. And yesss, that little secret will finally come to light, just wait a bit.

Sorry it took me so long to update, but as you can see, the chapter's a bit long. I was actually thinking about cutting it again, but finally decided against it because it would be weird. So... well, that's it. Hope you like it, and enjoy!

Nagisa was competing in an hour, if her calculations were correct. It could take lesser or longer, but she was estimating based on the number of matches before hers. She was competing against a guy she'd never heard about. The partners could either be with someone of the same gender, or not, that was something the Haninozuka's had always done. The thing was to prove who was better, and that could be either a woman or a man. Nagisa liked that.

So for now, Nagisa was watching the matches, analysing her possible opponents, stretching a little more, out of habit. When they competed at the mountain she would always observe, silently watching everyone's movements and skills, looking for a weak spot. That was the reason she was good at what she did. She wasn't necessarily a fighter, but pure assassination, like Korosensei had said once. Her fighting skills didn't come out naturally, like they did for Karma or Isogai, or Maehara. She had to work to get to where she was, and she had to work very hard. But assassination... that was just instinct. She would always observe, write down, point out, remember every single detail, and then she would strike, fast and clean.

That was something her middle school classmates failed to do, and they mocked at her for a while, but then it bit them in the ass when she beat the crap outta everyone while sparring. When she beat Takaoka-sensei for the first time, that was when they truly started to realize she was no less than anyone else in the class, and that she was even more dangerous. Nagisa could be all sweat and nervous and shy, but she could be the top class assassin at the 3-E too. It was all a matter of who she was dealing with, and why was she dealing with them in the first place.

But that was not the time to pray into those matters. Right now, she needed to focus on the tournament, on her matches, and on winning. Well, it wasn't as if Nagisa would be angry and jealous if she lost, but it would be a little disappointing, so the bluenette was determined. It was a good way of finding out if her fighting skill had really improved, as she would no longer be sparring against someone she knew. She wouldn't have the advantage of knowing her opponents movements and style as well as she did when she fought Karma, Honey, Gakushuu or the others in E Class. It was thrilling in a way, actually.

"Nagisa-chan!" the assassin looked away from Akita Hokaiddo, one of the two guys who were sparring at the moment. He was good, better than his opponent, but nothing she couldn't take if she wanted to, which she definitively did.

Satoshi Morinozuka and Yasuchika Haninozuka made their way towards Nagisa, who smiled widely at them the moment she spotted them. Satoshi-kun had been the one calling her name, as he was waving his hand, dragging Chika-kun with the other. The younger Haninozuka wore a serious expression, but he was glad to see her nonetheless.

"Satoshi-kun, Chika-kun! Is nice to see ya'." she greeted them with a small bow of her head, as she was currently stretching and couldn't really stand up and bow correctly. "Honey said you'd be competing too. I'm exited! Hope I can have the honor of sparring with one of you two, though." she winked playfully at them, and while Satoshi just laughed cheerfully as always, Chika smiled a bit, pushing up his glasses to prevent them to fall.

"Mitsukuni-nii-san has spoken a lot about your habilites, and I think it would be... interesting to see with my own eyes what of everything my brother says is true." Nagisa notices how Chika referred at his brother as 'nii-san'. That was progress!

'I guess they're really starting to bond again. That's nice.' she thought, a small smile on her face.

"Well, you'll see it soon. I hope it pleases your expectations." the bluenette giggled, and then did a split to stretch her legs a bit more. She didn't want to have a muscle strain in the middle of her match, after all.

As Nagisa continued with her exercises, the two cousins looked at her with amazement. Did she... how could she... what the hell? That had been her legs just turning rubber! When they finally snapped out of it, they looked over at the judges table, when their family was sitting. Mitsukuni then spotted their gaze and then looked at Nagisa. It seemed to be something normal to him, because he just laughed and went back to watching the match, which was already finishing, with Hokaiddo-san as the winner.

"Kotaiko Hamatuza, Shiota Nagisa, please advance to the sparring area." when Mitsukuni heard the name he had been waiting to hear since the beginning of the tournament, his eyes shot up from his scoring sheet to look at the ring, where Nagisa was already standing. Her blue hair had been pulled back with a single high ponytail, making her look even more serious than what she did with her usual twin piglets. Her training gear got wrapped around her figure nicely, and her hips tempted him even from afar. Her calmed expression, how she smiled kindly at her opponent and bowed respectfully before getting in position, the glow in her eyes...

She looked so... hot.

Nagisa was facing him, and before the matched actually started she directed her gaze to him, her smile widening as she did it. And then her match began.

Hamazuta looked down at her, and not only because she was a midget. He was obviously thinking about how an easy fight that one would be, if his lack of any further analysing said anything. It remembered Nagisa of how Karma acted before he got beat up by almost everyone in the midterm exams last year. Before that, he was cocky and arrogant, believed himself to be better than everyone else. He kinda was, the redhead never had to spend hours in front of a book to understand what was being taught in class, and he caught on things quickly. But after the midterms, he started to realize that anyone could outstand him if he didn't try harder, and so he did tried. His fight with Gripp was enough to prove that. He was no longer looking from above, but front to front instead.

It seemed like this little guy over here needed a few lessons too. And Nagisa was willing to give them to him with pleasure.

As Nagisa expected, Hamatuza took a step forward—that way he would be closer and he would be able to attack her properly. Well, that was until Nagisa grabbed his flying punch in mid-air, and then outrightly twisted his whole arm, making him fell on the flor.

A few gasps and whispers were heard. Obviously no one thought that small mice-like girl could take down anyone, specially someone so athletic-looking like Hamatuza was. Well, there was always a first time for everything, right?

The boy wasn't over, thought, as he quickly got back on his feet, this time looking at her with new eyes.

'Oh well, this is when my innocence card gets useless.' Nagisa thought, smiling sneakily as she did. Now the real match was about to start.

"You little... you'll see now." the guy growled, obviously trying to scare her or something like that. But Nagisa had faced far more worse than him, like the Shinigami and Takaoka-sensei, as well as the government, another assassins, gang members, and so on. So if that guy wanted to truly scare her, he would need to try a lot harder.

"I'm waiting, Hamatuza-san." Nagisa said instead, smiling calmly as she did. That only seemed to infuriate him even more.

'So he's one of those who gets mad easily. Good to know. Just need to provoke him a little more and he'll be dead.' that was what crossed Nagisa's head, but in the outside she was already dodging the third punch her opponent was throwing at her.

But this was the Haninozuka style we were talking about, so when the hand-to-hand approach didn't work, Kotaiko decided it was time to move on to the next level. And so he drew a knife.

'Gotcha.'

That was all Nagisa needed. She had observed him, he was practising his knife skills before the match started. He was obviously good, it seemed like he practiced a lot, which probably meant he was from one of the Haninozuka dojos, as they were the only ones who taught knife-handling as a weapon in martial arts instead of just throwing them.

So, if the bluenette could get him to draw his knife out, she would win. The guy was good, yes, but Nagisa's choice of weapon had always been knifes. They came naturally to her, like they were an extension of her. In a knifes fight, she would obviously win.

When Kotaiko launched over, making an attempt of stabbing her in the side, Nagisa deflected the knife with her forearm, she crouched swiftly and, before the other knew what was happening, the knife was in Nagisa's hand, who was behind him, resting the blade on Hamatuza's carotid. Just a light pressing, as she did not want to kill him, but enough for everyone to know who the winner of the match was.

"The winner of the match is Nagisa Shiota." announced Yorihisa, smiling a bit as he did. When Nagisa heard those words, she immediately let go of her grip on her former opponent, bowing respectfully and giving back the knife.

"Sorry 'bout that. I didn't hurt you, didn't I?" she asked in concern, not knowing is she had cause real damage or not.

Kotaiko's eyes widened, as he had expected a smugly attitude.

"Uh... n-no, you didn't do anything. That was impressive, but the way. Where do you train?" he said, getting out of his initial shock. He wasn't mad either, he knew she had won fairly.

"Well, it's not like I have a real place to train, but a friend of mine lets me use his dojo." she smiled kindly, not really wanting to brag about being trained by Honey. That just seemed a little bit mean to her. "That's a good knife you have. Where'd you get it?"

"My grandfather gave it to me as a birthday present." and so they started to talk, getting out of the sparring area and going back to their previous spot.

'It seems like I have a new friend.' thought Nagisa, waving happily at him with a new phone number on her contacts. She then made her way towards Honey and Mori-senpai, who were on a little break before the next match.

"Nagisaaa!" not minding that it probably looked like favoritism, Mitsukuni stood up and hugged her the moment he saw her coming his way. "You were so cool, it was great!" Nagisa laughed, hugging him back, taking advantage of the closeness to catch a bit of his cologne's smell. It was surprisingly masculine and fresh, as one would thought he would buy the sweetest cologne in the world. Nagisa loved it.

"Thanks, but I think it was mostly because I'm especializad in knife handling, Honey." the bluenette smiled sheepishly, rubbing her palm at the back of her neck. "Besides, mi sensei's are the best." she threw a wink at him, obviously teasing him. Mitsukuni blushed at the sight of her. She was so cuuute!

But Nagisa wasn't joking. Honey, Karasuma-sensei, Bitch-sensei, her classmates... Korosensei. They were all exceptional teachers, the bests Nagisa ever had. They were the reason she was where she was at the moment, and it was something the bluenette would never forget.

'And the best part of all, is that I didn't even released any bloodlust this time!' that was an achievement Nagisa was going to brag about for the rest of her life. At first, when she was just starting with her training at the MOD, her bloodlust would go wild when she was about to kill. She was the better at hiding her bloodlust in the 3-E, but sometimes she couldn't control it. Now, as she didn't want to be discovered by Honey, Nagisa was capable of almost fully control her bloodlust.

"I think there are some people who want to talk to you, Nagisa." the blue haired girl snapped out of her thoughts and turn around to see what Honey meant. She spotted all the 3-E waving frantically at her, motioning her to come over. Nagisa smiled fondly when she couldn't find anyone missing. They all came to see her...

"Yeah, I think I should go." still smiling, Nagisa waved and bowed, excusing herself before finally getting to see her middle school classmates.

They all started to scream when she was close enough for them to yell at her without looking that much weird—they did anyways, but still, they tried.

"That was so awesome, Nagisa!"

"Yeah, like, you were in front of him one second and the next one you had his knife pressed against his throat!"

"And we didn't feel any bloodlust!"

"Was that Mitsukuni Haninozuka?" all heads turned towards Itona, who had his eyes fixed on Honey. The senior was talking with his cousin about something, clutching Usa-chan with his right hand and eating a piece of cake someone had brought him. Somehow, flowers and sparkles surround him, only managing to make him look even more cute.

'I would kill you if it wasn't because you're so blunt you didn't even noticed what you just did, Itona...' it wasn't Itona's fault, of course. Nagisa was just naive enough to believe there wouldn't be any questions about why she was talking with the jury. 'Oh well, it was going to happen anyways.' that was her only confort, but it was still troublesome. This wasn't supposed to happen this way, much less at a day like this one...

"I... well, yes." Nagisa said. Better admit it now before Karma or Gakushuu did it. Just Kami and the sushi lord knew what could happen if one of those two, or worse, the two of them, decided to step in. "He's the little blond, the tall guy's Takashi Morinozuka, but everybody calls him, Mori-senpai. Well, not everyone, but his friends do. Except for his family, they call him Takashi, and only Honey's family calls him Mitsukuni, everybody else calls him Honey, or Honey-senpai, and next to Mori-senpai there's Haninozuka-san, I mean, Yorihisa Haninozuka. He's the head of the Haninozuka's main branch, and the one I have the contract with. Then there's Akira Morinozuka, Mori-senpai's father and Honey's uncle. His little sister married Haninozuka-san, y'know? She's really sweet, and funny. Sometimes I go and talk to her after my training sessions with Honey, and if she's busy I either talk a bit with Chika-kun and Satoshi-kun, or go home if I'm really tired. And..." the bluenette was cut short by Karma, who tapped her mouth so she could no longer speak.

'Oh, I started rambling again, didn't I?'

"We know you love him, Nagisa, but you just needed to tell us who he was." she blushed furiously at the word 'love', but didn't dare to say anything. Who knew what she would en up talking about if she did. "We just wanted to say hi, you should go back to the competitors area. The first round is gonna end soon and you don't know when's your turn again." and with that, the redhead led everyone back to their sits, leaving a flustered but smiling Nagisa behind. They were the best of friends, weren't they?

Satoshi and Chika fought in the third round, and Chika won. We're actually gonna skip the rest of the tournament until the final. Nagisa against Chika. The match everyone was waiting to see, lets be honest.

So now Yasuchika and Nagisa were in front of each other, analyzing the others posture and attitude. Nagisa, who was better at hiding her emotions and intentions than Chika was, looked like she was just standing, but was slowly shifting her body to get into a fighting mode. Chika had a calculating look in his eyes, looking ready for the match. Both had tons of weapons strategically placed between their bodies and their gear.

"Just wanna say, no hard feelings, 'kay? Doesn't matter who wins." said Chika, and Nagisa's blank expression cracked for a bit to show a sincere smile.

"Of course, silly! We're friends, after all, and even when friends fight they're still friends!" she giggled, and Chika gave her a half-smile. Then the referee started the countdown, and their masks were pulled up again.

When the match started, Chika immediately sprinted so he could have the first attack of the fight, but Nagisa was already expecting it. The bluenette had seen him spar before, she knew how he reacted. Chika, on the other hand, had never seen her before that day, so she had an advantage. And she wasn't about to waste it.

So when the young Haninozuka was just a few inches away from her, Nagisa ducked and squatted, extending a leg to make him trip. It only worked partially. He tripped, but Chika used the fall to do a flip, and he was standing straight again in just a matter of seconds.

The bluenette smirked. He wasn't Honey, but Yasuchika was indeed a great opponent, and Nagisa could say he was the only one who actually put on a fight with her at the tournament. Yes, they were all good and everything, but Nagisa's strategy was always to observe, and kill with a single strike. That was mainly the reason the MOD got interested on her, she was efficient and quick, calculating everything before acting, always with a plan, a back-up plan, and a back-up plan to the back-up plan, even if she normally didn't use more than the original one.

But with Chika... well, he had a skill that most people lacked of. He could change his strategy if needed, and he knew how to use every single object around him to his advantage. He was able to adapt. Nagisa could too, and that was the reason behind the public's uproar when they found out who the finalists were. After watching Nagisa competing, and already knowing Chika, they wanted to see how that came out.

Chika, who already knew he needed to go big this time, decided weapons were the most viable option if he wanted to corner Nagisa. He knew she was pretty good handling them, and he had seen it too, but so was he.

Nagisa almost got hit by the shuriken, but she managed to move on time. The metal blade got stuck in the wall behind her, and luckily there wasn't any people near. That was the moment Chika finally struck, sending Nagisa to the ground with an axe kick.

'Oh men, I don't know which one's worse, if Karma's or Chika-kun's...' was what Nagisa thought when she felt the kick. That hurt. But before he could do any more damage, the bluenette flipped back, drawing out two of her knifes while she was on the air, so when she was standing again, her first move was to throw one of the knifes at Chika, aiming for the side, knowing there was a space where she could cut with no major damage. Chika ducked thought, and it only ripped his gear. That was enough to unbalance him though, and so Nagisa run straight forward and land a solid butterfly kick, which was what got Chika on the ground.

Nagisa was about to knell and press her second knife in his throat to make him surrender, but a flash made her look away.

That was probably what saved her life.

"What's...?" her blue eyes widened as she ducked the knife. What the actual fuck had happened just now?

The knife pass inches away from her, but this time there was people behind her. So when the knife stabbed a man on the head, everyone started to panic, running away from the scene as fast as posible, not understanding what was going on. That was supposed to be a safe environment, where all the matches were controlled and killing was a total no-no.

Then why a knife, which none of the competitors had thrown, had just pierced a man's skull?

Nagisa's first instinct was to fire back, using the knife on her hand to kill whoever had done this. But then her eyes traveled down to Chika, who was looking scared at the dead man's body.

'No. I'm not doing anything until they're safe.' and so Nagisa grabbed his arm, and pulled him up, starting to run.

"What's going on, Nagisa!?" she could heard Chika asking, sounding confused and scared.

"I don't know, but I'm gonna figure it out. I need to take you with your father first though, so come on! And whatever you do, do not stop running unless I tell you to, ok?!" she didn't hear a reply, but Nagisa figure out he understood the seriousness of the situation.

They both ran towards the jury's table, where Yorihisa was expecting them. When he saw Chika being dragged by Nagisa, his whole body relaxed. His son was alright. He was ok.

Nagisa then pushed Chika down, covering him with her body just in case, and the bullet didn't hit her out of pure luck. It didn't matter, it was her job. She was an assassin, but her contract with the Haninozuka's was meant to protect them, and she wasn't about to let them down.

"Shit. They have guns... c'mon, Chika, we're close!" she didn't have any guns with her, it was a martial arts tournament, so she had only brought close combat weapons. Maybe Haninozuka-san had some? That would be pretty useful.

When they finally got to Yorihisa, the first thing he did was to hug his son. It was short, hurried hug, but Chika could felt what his father wanted to say. 'Thank Kami you're alive'.

Then the three of them went to one of the adjacent rooms. Most of the audience and the other competitors were already gone, scared off by the sudden attack. But Nagisa saw her friends while she ran across the room, and her eyes widened. What were they still doing there? Without saying anything, she ran back, trying to get to them so she could convince them to go. She could take care of it, the MOD could. Like it or not, they were civilians, even if they were better than most. Nagisa wasn't about to let them interfere, not with this.

It was one thing to help her with her match-maker duties at that rich school, where nothing could happen. It was another to let them fight some people who had just killed a man out of nothing. Nagisa didn't even know who they were, dammit! The situations they had gone through last year, all those times when they had almost died, they weren't bound to repeat. Not if she could prevent it. That was the actual reason she decided to fight against Takaoka-sensei, and why he accepted to take the final blow against Korosensei. Nagisa didn't want them to experience it, so she was willing to take it. She was used to it, with such a demanding mother while growing up, wanting her to be perfect in every single way. At least, that way Nagisa was giving them the chance she never had.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing? Get the fuck outta here!" she yelled at them the moment she got to where her friends were. Thankfully it was just the 3-E, because is the Host Club were to be involved, it would only cause more trouble.

"We're going to help!" said Nakamura, her defiant glare against Nagisa's.

"Yeah, we can do it, Nagisa!" blurted out Kurahashi, smiling reassuringly. The bluenette wasn't buying it.

"That's not happening! I gotta take care of this shit, I don't need to look after you too." she exclaimed, trying to locate the shooters as she did. They were all under the stands, hidden. "You don't have any weapons, nor the clearance, and more important, you haven't properly trained since last year. So there's no way in hell I'm letting you do this. Karasuma-sensei would kill you, and me if I did." she was dead serious, and not even one of her old classmates dared to refuse.

Nagisa wasn't normally like this. She was worried, they could tell. The way she looked over her shoulder, around her, poking her hidden pockets to make sure of how many weapons she had. They friend wasn't joking around anymore. She was truly an assassin, a protector.

"Ok, we won't interfere. But we'll stay." Yuuma stated then, hoping that was enough for his friend. Fortunately for them, it was, because Nagisa nodded just once and then turned around, motioning them to follow her. She didn't speak, nor did they. This was just like an infiltration mission. They needed to make it to the other side, where the side rooms were, without getting hit by bullets or knives. Easy-peasy. They may haven't been training like Nagisa for the last months, but what they learned in the Assassination Classroom was something they would never forget, and things like camouflage came in handy in their daily lives.

Or at least they did for some people. Which we're not gonna mention right now because it's not the time. But it's Nakamura and Karma.

With ease, they got to the side rooms, and Nagisa directed them to the one that was right next to the one Yorihisa and Chika had gone into.

"Now, please stay here until me or someone you know comes to get you. The password it 'Tentacles'. If they don't say it..." Nagisa doubted, but finally gave one of her knifes to Isogai. "Not killing, just disarming. The law doesn't protect you as much as it protects me, kay'? Now I'll go, and I want to find you all alive and fine when I'm back." Nagisa looked at them one more time before getting out, closing the door behind her.

The former E Class, plus Gakushuu, looked at each other.

"Is it just me, or Nagisa suddenly matured?" all eyes turned to Sosuke, who blushed a bit with the sudden attention. "Hey, don't stare like that!"

"You're right, Sugaya... she acted like... like she was really worried, and wanted to protect us at all costs." murmured Tomohito, looking sadly at the door. "I guess her work at the Ministry did make her realise something we still haven't."

Words of agreement flooded the room. Nagisa, as an assassin, obviously got to see the world as a colder place. It seemed that it may have forced her to grow up in order to fit into that world too.

"She knew the world as it was a long time ago, longer than last year. Her mother... she was always a bit... difficult to treat." Karma snorted, unamused by Gakushuu's words.

"You mean she's a complete bitch." he said, and, even if Gakushuu rolled his eyes, he din't deny it. Hiromi Shiota was, in fact, a bitch. But they better don't let Nagisa hear them say it, because it didn't matter how much of a bitch Hiromi was, Nagisa would still defend her 'till she died.

But getting back with Nagisa, the bluenette was already at the other room, where Yorihisa and Chika had gone. The room was full of weapons, and suddenly Nagisa understood why they had chosen that room in particular.

Chika was sitting at the corner of the room, looking a bit paler than usual, if a bit greenish. When the door opened his head shot up like a scared deer, but quickly relaxed when he saw it was just Nagisa. Surprisingly, he stood up and hugged her shortly, then bowed and went back to his corner, all of this without muttering a single word.

'Guess he's still a bit frightened. After all, Haninozuka or not he's just a kid...' she thought, before realizing Chika was just a year younger than her. Nagisa didn't know if it was him who hadn't experience enough, or her who had experience too much. Probably the latter. Yeah, definitely the latter.

"Haninozuka-san?" she turned to face the head of the family, waiting for his reply. A simple nod was all that was needed. Her services were required.

'Alive.' that was what Yorihisa mouthed to her, taking advantage of the fact that his son wasn't watching. He didn't want to frighten him more than he already was, he was still young to face things like that one. And there was the contract too, who bounded him to not talk about Nagisa's job unless she agreed, and as she was friends with him, the blue haired girl wouldn't really want him to know about her contract yet.

This time it was Nagisa's turn to nod. She wanted to know what was going on too, and the attackers were her best lead.

The assassin looked around, trying to determinate which ones of all the weapons there could help her. When she saw a gun, though, that was the first thing the chose. She had no idea why there was a gun in a traditional dojo, but she wasn't about to argue right now.

The bluenette could heard the gunshots, and people yelling at the other side of the door. They were looking for something.

'No. Not something. Someone.' and then it got down to her. They were looking for her, Nagisa Shiota. But why?

She had no idea, but Nagisa was going to find out. She didn't want any loose strings in regard of her job.

When she had collected all the weapons she saw fit to this job, Nagisa came closer to Chika and shook his shoulder gently. He looked up, confused. His skin was a little less pale than before, and the green had vanished completely, so that was a good thing.

"Hey, I'm gonna head out, 'kay? Gotta see if everything's alright. But I'll be back in a sec, don't worry." she smiled reassuringly at him, trying to confort him someway. Chika just nodded, but Nagisa knew he understood.

When she passed by Haninozuka-san's side, she stopped for a second.

"I'm gonna see if I can find Satoshi-kun, Honey and Mori-senpai." she just said it. It wasn't a question, and Yorihisa knew it. Nagisa was really hopping her friends were all together, if the other hosts were with Honey and Mori-senpai they would be safer, the same with Satoshi.

"Alright." Nagisa bowed, and then she went out of the room. As she was very small, the change in the door's angle didn't change that much, but her hair was like a smoke signal, so the assassin was fast at finding a hiding spot. She needed to drag the attackers attention towards herself... maybe a smoke bomb? It would make them freak out, that was for sure.

Deciding to take her chances with the smoke bomb, the bluenette drawed out one of the three she had gotten from that really useful room. The entries were closed, so it wouldn't dissipate as fast as it could. Good. Now she only needed to figure out how many people she was fighting against, and if they had any hostages. She sincerely hoped not, because if they had things would definitely be more difficult.

When the smoke bomb was out, Nagisa was fast at moving. She could see a silhouette aiming at the opposite direction, and she smirked. 'Gotcha.'

The knife wouldn't kill them, but it would cause a lot of pain. Nagisa was aiming for a space on the shoulder full of nerves. If damaged, the whole arm and part of the chest would stop responding. And she was no Hayami, nor Chiba, but her aim was still pretty good. So when the man yelled, 'cause that was definitely a man's voice, Nagisa hummed in satisfaction before looking for another target. She was sure there were more than one because of the previous gunshots. The number of bullets were to much to be fired by a single man or woman. There was a group, but the bluenette had still to figure out how many of them were inside of the dojo, and if there were more outside.

'But for now, lets take care of this over here, shall we?' Nagisa thought as she spotted her second target. Probably woman, given the body's structure, and the way they moved, but Nagisa knew better than to make assumptions. The physic could be pretty much deceiving, after all.

Nagisa took a step, walking a bit closer. Another one, and a last step. And then she was in position. 'Oh man, that's gonna hurt like hell... not that I care, of course.' and the bluenette threw one of her throwing needles. They were made of tungsten, one of the strongest metals on Earth. Nagisa had different sizes, each set made to cut a different part of the human body. They were a gift from Korosensei, the previous owner. She found them on her desk, along with her books. That was the moment she truly decided she wanted to be an assassin.

The tungsten needles were her second favorite weapon too, but that was mostly because she was still getting the hang of them. Fortunately for her, she had brought them to the competition, and now they were coming in handy.

The cold blooded scream made Nagisa grimace. What a way to ruin the mood. But that meant she had hit her, which was good. Karasuma-sensei would be pleased. But there was still at least one more guy inside, with her, trying to figure out how to not end up like they partners. It was a game of seek and hide, and Nagisa was willing to play it.

The baby blue haired girl retreated back to her hiding spot, as the smoke was dissipating already. 'Dammit. Still need to find the last one. Or the lasts ones...'. Well, Nagisa was going to go with plan B. Kami, she hated plan B... it always ended up in a messy, bloody situation, and then she had to clean it up.

Fan-fucking-tastic.

When the smoke cleared out enough for her to see, she cursed under her breath. Three more... and a second smoke bomb wouldn't do now that the element of surprise was over. Oh well, she could take one out with the gun, if she aimed properly... yeah, that would do.

The gunshot was echoed in the big room, and her third guy was down. Only two to go.

"What the...!?" one of the other two said, looking at the scene in front of his eyes. His three partners were on the floor, with different levels of damage and pain, besides from the dead man over the stands. "That bitch's good..."

'Sorry? What did you just called me, you bastard?' and just how could they know it was her? Because sorry to say, but that was obviously aimed at a woman. That was the reason Nagisa decided to stepped in.

"What did you just called me? I think I heard you wrong, because last time I checked, the bitch wasn't me." she said, throwing one of her daggers before she could get a reaction. It pinned the man against the wall, and she threw two more. "Ups, they slipped off."

"You bitch! It was you!" her? What had she done to make this guys angry? Nagisa had never seen those guys in...

Wait a second. Nagisa recognized that voice. But there was no way... or was it?

And then it happened. The bluenette was barely able to duck, but the bullet still hit. It was meant to kill her, obviously, but her shoulder now hurt like hell. Oh, she hated bullet wounds... at least it had gone through the whole thing, or it would be a total pain to take the bullet out.

"Oh, I had totally forgot there was still one of you. My mistake, won't happen again, I promise." and, using her other arm, Nagisa threw a second needle, that landed beautifully in the middle of the guy's stomach. "Hope you die, but if you don't I don't really care. Just want it to hurt like burning in hell, 'kay?" she said sweetly as the man fell on the floor, groaning, trying to gasp for air.

Ok, so that maybe was a little rough. But he had shot first! He made it personal!

'Calm down, Nagisa. Calm down. Now get out and see if there are any others. Then, when you know is safe, call the authorities and find the guys.' yeah... she needed to finish with her job and then she could laugh at that dick face who dared shoot her.

When Nagisa was done with her inspection of the compound, she came back to the dojo. As she expected, everyone leaved the second they had the chance, and if the bad guys had any back-up, it was gone too by the moment Nagisa got out of the dojo.

First, she got her friends out. The moment she knock saying the word 'tentacles' all her classmates were all over her, trying to get to know what happened. It was when Kayano accidentally pressed her shoulder when Nagisa let out a small yelp of pain, that led everyone to notice the blood dripping out of her wound.

"Oh shit! You gotta take care of that, Nagisa!" exclaimed Rio, with a grimace on her face. What was a nasty one indeed.

"Yeah, I know, but I need to use the effect that the adrenaline left to make sure everything's alright." she sighed, and them walked over to the second room, where Chika and Haninozuka-san were waiting too. "Could any of you call Karasuma-sensei please?" Megu was already on it.

The bluenette knocked on the door again, saying it was her. Seconds later Yorihisa opened the door, looking relieved to see it was her and not one of those crazy people. Nagisa smiled slightly, managing to see Chika. He was still pale, probably from hearing the gunshots and the screams. There was nothing Nagisa could do about that, though.

"I'm going to go and find the others. My middle school classmates are hear, if you need help finding me, just ask them to call me." and without another word she left. She would start with the estate.

So, I don't know why, but I had a lot of troubles writing this chapter. I guess it's because it was mostly people fighting and I totally suck at writing fight scenes...

Anyways, did you like it? I hope so, tried my best. Who do you think were the ones who attacked Nagisa? We'll find out next chapter! *inserts commercial voice* We'll see what happens with the hosts too! What will they think when they see Nagisa all bloodied? And when they find out she was the one who beat the attackers! I'll have a little surprise for ya' too, so be expecting it.

Anyways, hope you like this, and see ya' next chapter!

Patolemus.
