I just realized that there are only a few more chapters, before this is done.

Disclaimer: I do not own Assassination Classroom or Kuroko no Basket.

The day of the midterms. The students of Class 3-E got ready for yet another round of insults as they readied themselves to go to school, for today they would stay in the main building. There was no Korosensei to assassinate, no Karasuma to fight against, no Irina to playfully insult. This would be all about fighting your way to the top, to slay the midterms – just like Karma had wanted them to.

So, once they came to Kunugigaoka, every single one of them went to the classroom doorway and began waiting. One by one, they crowded there, glancing at the clock. Usually the other students would be insulting them, but now, they didn't. The students that passed by them would glance at them, some would even shiver at the aura they gave off. They looked pretty murderous.

Until the very end, they waited there. A few minutes before the test was supposed to begin, they heard it.

"Nagi-chan, you can go home with Sugino or someone, if I'm in for too long."

At that instance, everyone in the hallways, both from the main building and from Class 3-E, turned towards the two students with unusually colored hair, making their way down the hallway.

"Karma, we're going to the same way anyways", Nagisa pointed out, looking at his boyfriend. "Besides, I want to know that you didn't hurt your hand – again."

"Hey, that was not my fault", Karma pouted a little. "Uncle Atsushi can't control his strength."

"Still", Nagisa huffed. "You don't need to make it worse."

"Says the guy who forced me into mountain climbing a few days ago", Karma mumbled. Nagisa shot him a look. "What was that?"

"Nothing", Karma said and motioned towards their classmates. "Here you go."

As they got to them, Nagisa blinked and looked at him. "Did you just…?"

"No, Nagisa, I did not just make sure you got to the classroom without hurting yourself", Karma sighed. "I was going this way anyways. Even if you hadn't been with me, I would have."

Nagisa pouted a little. "Just go before you're late."

"Umm, excuse me", Maehara's eyebrow twitched. "You two. Explain. Now."

"Sorry, I can't", Karma looked apologetic. "I have an… appointment, with the Chairman."

Nagisa snorted out a chuckle. Others looked at him weirdly.

"Now, now, Nagisa", Karma chuckled a little. "I'm not going to go all psycho on him like Father."

Isogai gulped. "Huh?"

"Wait, Father went psycho on him?" Nagisa blinked. Karma sighed. "Weren't you listening yesterday?"

"I was kind of sleeping", Nagisa frowned. "I was getting ready for our prepping session."

"Prepping session?" Sugino blinked. Nagisa nodded. "Since we went on a holiday for the last few days, we prepped last night."

"Anyways", Karma looked at them. "I will explain everything, but later. Now, I would just want to get the midterms done, so if you'll excuse me."

As Karma began to walk away, the rest blinked.

"What… was with him?" Terasaka asked, creeped out. "He wasn't acting anything like himself!"

"He wasn't?" Nagisa blinked as he walked into the classroom. "I think he was."

"Nagisa-kun…" Kayano frowned. "You have a lot of explaining to do after this."

Nagisa sweat-dropped. "Right…"

Just then, the teacher came inside. The students took their seats and began the test.

Gakushu noticed immediately that something had changed. When Karma walked pass their classroom, the Five Virtuosos stopped him.

"I heard you have been skipping school, Akabane", Natsuhiko chuckled. "Afraid of us?"

"Why would I be, now?" Karma asked with a charming smile. When he did was when the rest of the Five Virtuosos realized that something was different. "Why would someone as low as you make me afraid?"

"Someone as low?!" Natsuhiko exclaimed. Tomoya frowned. "Take a look at who you're talking to. We're the Five Virtuosos, remember."

Karma chuckled a little, the charming smile never leaving his face. "So they call you. However, what should that matter to me? After all, compared to me, you're nothing but lowly servants."

"What?!" Tomoya exclaimed, angered. Gakushu frowned. "No one has seen you in the past few weeks. Where have you been, Akabane Karma?"

The charming smile disappeared into thin air as Karma's eyes turned cold. The redhead looked straight into Gakushu's eyes, like staring into his very soul. "My whereabouts are none of your business, Asano Gakushu."

The Five Virtuosos tensed up as the air began thickening. Something was in the air, something creepy and scary. Gakushu's eyes widened, realizing what was amiss. His eyes… Weren't they golden?

"Now, let me through", Karma said, his lips stretching into a dangerous yet charming smile. "I have business up ahead."

"What happened to your eyes?" Gakushu asked, stunned. "Why are they red?"

Karma sighed through his nose. "I told you to let me through, didn't I?"

"Answer me!" Gakushu exclaimed. Looking angry, he elaborated. "I've never heard of someone's eyes just changing colors like that. The only thing I've heard of is if your eye is damaged…"

"How cute", Karma chuckled. "Are you worried of me, Asano? Don't be – there has been no injuries to my eyes."

"I'm not worried…!" Gakushu growled.

"You seem like you are, to me", Karma said. His eyes then turned cold as he looked at them. "Now, I won't say it again. Let me through."

"Who are you to order us around?" Teppei asked with a raised eyebrow.

Karma chuckled. "Who? Araki Teppei, do remember that I technically pay for your studies."

"You don't", Teppei protested.

"Oh, but I do", Karma waved a finger in front of their faces, like he was explaining something to a little child. "Your father is one of my guards, after all."

"Take note that my and Araki's fathers work for…!" Ren stopped mid-sentence, his eyes widening. Looking at Karma, he suddenly saw the resemblance between those two – how come no one had seen it before?

"Ren?" Gakushu blinked, looking at his friend. Thinking over the words, both he and Teppei suddenly realized what was about to be said. As Natsuhiko and Tomoya realized, they all turned to Karma – who was still in front of them, his eyes cold as he silently demanded for them to move.

"Y… You…" Gakushu was the only one who dared to speak. This person in front of him? Akashi Seijuro's son? Akabane Karma was, in fact, Akashi Karma? What…? Why…? How?!

"Ah, here you were."

Everyone turned to see Asano Gakuho. He had a bandage on his cheek, smiling anxiously to them. "Akashi-bocchama, I was already fearing you wouldn't make it."

"I just had a little conversation with your son and his friends here", Karma allowed his eyes to travel to each and every one of them, staying only for a moment before he turned to look at Gakuho. "You have truly raised your son well, Chairman – not all students would be worried for the wellbeing of a student from Class 3-E."

"Truly", Gakuho smiled. "Shall we go now? I'm afraid the midterms won't wait, even for you."

Karma shot a look to the Five Virtuosos. In a stunned silence, they moved out of the way to let Karma through. Smiling smugly, Karma walked pass them, pass Gakuho and down the hallway. Gakuho shot the five students a warning look before turning and walking behind Karma, towards his own office.

They stood there for a while until Gakushu managed to truly grasp it.

Akabane Karma, Kunugigaoka Junior High's resident devil, is Akashi Seijuro's only son and the heir of Akashi Corporation.

"That was brutal", Sugino sighed as the students walked out of Kunugigaoka Junior High. Midterms had just ended, most of the students either proud of themselves or absolutely horrified about their test scores.

Nagisa was neither of those.

The moment they got outside, he glanced up at the window of Gakuho's office. He knew Karma was supposed to be taking his midterms there. No doubt it would take longer for the boy, with his hand not being exactly okay yet.

Isogai noticed his gaze. Looking up himself, he sighed. "It's really weird, though."

"What is?" Maehara asked. Nagisa turned to Isogai as the boy explained. "The day after Akashi Seijuro was here, the window to the Chairman's office got repaired."

"I wonder what happened to it", Okano hummed, glancing up at the new window. "No one ever explained."

"Oh. That", Nagisa chuckled sheepishly and looked away. Everyone turned to him. "You know, don't you?"

"Well…" Nagisa bit his lip.

"Go on", Nakamura grinned as they continued walk, throwing her arm around the smaller boy's shoulders. "You know anyways."

Nagisa sighed. "Father was really irritated that day."

"So?" Sugino blinked before paling. "Wait, you mean he…?!"

"You don't annoy Father on a bad day."

In shock, everyone turned to the younger redhead behind them. He was panting a little, few beads of sweat falling down his temple. He had run up to them.

"Karma!" Nagisa escaped from Nakamura's hold and ran to his boyfriend, taking a gentle hold of his right hand. "You okay?"

Karma chuckled before kissing Nagisa's forehead. "I'm just fine – nothing's wrong with my hand, you know."

"Seriously, what's up with you?" Terasaka frowned. "You're… different."

Karma blinked before gesturing to his eyes. "Maybe it's the eyes?"

Everyone blinked. Taking a good look at Karma's eyes, their eyes widened. "WHAT?!"

"Since when were your eyes red?" Itona asked, confused. Karma shrugged his shoulders. "Always."

"What?" Nakamura gaped. "You mean, you've been using colored contacts up until now?"

"Why?" Kataoka asked.

"I haven't", Karma shook his head. Taking a hold of Nagisa's wrist, he began pulling the boy. Nagisa followed as Karma led him and the rest to the shop nearby, Six. Walking in, he glanced at the shopkeeper. Yukio raised an eyebrow at them.

"What do you mean, you haven't used contacts?" Isogai asked. "Your eyes were always golden!"

"That little shit's eyes?" Yukio gestured to Karma. The boy pouted before walking over to the counter. "Uncle Yukio."

"He knows even this guy?" Hayami asked, disbelieving.

"What are you doing here, little shit?" Yukio frowned a little. "If it's something about your father, I swear…"

"It's actually about Uncle Ryota", Karma admitted. He leaned in to whisper something to Yukio, who blinked. Glancing over at the other students, Yukio nodded. "Yeah, I think he can… Why?"

"Oh, you know", Karma grinned. "Why not?"

Yukio frowned. Turning to Nagisa, he asked. "This is another one of Akashi's plans, isn't it?"

"What is?" Nagisa blinked.

"Oh, come on!" Karma pouted. "It's a surprise! You're not allowed to tell them yet!"

Yukio glanced at him and sighed, nodding. "Fine. I'll check up with him. Why couldn't Akashi just call him?"

"He's busy", Karma said. "It's not very easy to get the information he wants."

"He's fucking Akashi Seijuro", Yukio frowned. He then waved his hand, sighing. "I'll check. Now go."

"Thanks, Uncle Yukio!" Karma grinned before leaving the shop. The rest followed him, confused. "Karma-kun?"

"What?" Karma asked, glancing at them. Nakamura frowned. "What's with you?"

Karma paused. Then, after a moment, he sighed. "Damn it…" He murmured quietly, but Nagisa heard him. "Karma?"

"It's alright", Karma promised, smiling to Nagisa. "It's just… a bit lonely, I guess."

"Lonely?" Terasaka frowned. Muramatsu did, too. "That's insulting, you know."

"We're right here", Yoshida frowned.

"I meant the inside of my head, but…" Karma shrugged his shoulders. "You three aren't really the best company. I'd rather be lonely, I suppose."

"Oi!" Terasaka shouted.

"The inside of your head?" Okuda blinked, confused. Takebayashi pushed his glasses up. "Is this the confirmation that you have a split personality?"

Karma smiled. "Had. I don't have one anymore."

"Eeh?" Maehara blinked. "You don't?"

Karma shook his head and smiled to them. "No. I'm just myself."

"No more going psycho on us?" Kimura asked. Karma chuckled. "I can't promise that."

"Eh?"

"Going psycho on people runs in the family", Karma explained with a smile. "Like Father with his talk with the Chairman. I would have wanted to see that."

"I wouldn't have", Nagisa admitted.

Chiba observed Karma. Then he spoke. "Karma-kun… have you ever been your true self with us before?"

"Huh?" the rest turned to him, confused. They were even more shocked by Karma's answer, though.

"I haven't."

"Karma-kun?" Nakamura looked at the redhead with wide eyes. Karma began to walk away and the rest followed him closely. As they walked, Karma began explaining. All about Akaki and Ki, what his life was like in his youth, his reasons for hiding his name and true self under lies and fake names. Karma went on to explain what had happened after the day they saw their first and last glimpse of Akaki. How he had found out that Tetsuya had a son, who turned out to be Nagisa, the shock and horror he felt with the revelation, the emotional turmoil he went through in that short moment before it ended. Before his mental storm, which had been going on for most of his life, began to settle down a little. How little by little, his family's presence helped him get through the hell he called his life and how little his condition had actually allowed Nagisa to get used to anything – his new life and their fathers, for example. How everything had taken a big leap with Akaki's disappearance (Nakamura ended up teasing them, with Nagisa blushing madly and Karma somehow composing himself). How the trip to Hakone had ended the whole storm and how he had finally found peace of mind (He didn't tell them how that happened, though, leaving Nakamura pouting in disappointment), but in the process the inside of his head had turned into a lonely place, with no one else there with him.

"I had no ideas…" Isogai murmured quietly as they came closer to the crossroad they would be parting ways at. Karma smiled. "Of course you didn't. No one did. Not before Akaki came out, at least."

"Still, though", Maehara frowned. "Didn't you trust us?"

"I already told you, I didn't", Karma said. "With my past experiences with people, I could only trust my family."

"Though you did start trusting me", Nagisa noted. "On the same day that Akaki came out. You were your true self with me for a moment."

Karma nodded, ruffling the boy's hair. "But you're a special case."

"Because you two are dating~!" Nakamura grinned. Karma nodded, wrapping an arm around Nagisa's shoulders and bringing the smaller one close to his body and warmth. "Exactly."

Sugino sighed. "But still. It's so… unbelievable that something like that can even happen."

"Yeah", Karma admitted. "I don't think Father would have believed either, if he didn't have Bokushi."

"Bokushi?" Hayami blinked.

"Father's psychotic personality", Karma shrugged his shoulders. "We like to call him Absolute Bitch."

Everyone thought of Akaki for a moment before turning to part ways. "Yeah, you're definitely his son."

"Have a very good weekend, because when I see you next week, you're all dead!"
