It was cold. That was her first thought when she finally came back to consciousness. She opened her eyes, but it was dark. Closing and opening her eyes did no difference to her surroundings. The air was cold. Literally and figuratively. There was someone watching her, she could feel it. Sakusa felt her tears sting in her eyes, but refused to give in to such a petty fear.

Suddenly, the lights were turned out. It felt like the spotlight was on her as countless men came out of the shadows, surrounding her. They were all wearing suits, and each one of them were armed with a weapon of some sort. Immediately, she knew that these people were not to played with.

"Sakusa-san," there was an icy menacing voice circling her. The figure came into view. Asano's strawberry blonde hair was perfect as always, and his perfect mask wasn't cracked. "About time, don't you think? About time somebody found you out." Sakusa felt her heart squeeze. She'd known that there were people after her. She'd known that she'd always been in danger. But in her finally peaceful life, she'd let her guard down. And this was what happened.

Asano handed a piece of paper. She gripped it tightly, her knuckles turning white. It was her bounty letter. Given to everywhere world leader, and every important person in Japan.

"Born in Okinihara and lived a normal life for two years before the government started bombing the place. It turned to a war zone. You grew up in war, didn't you? The government just couldn't stand your sneaky Council for peeking into their secrets, so they decided to kill you all. Must've been hard to live in such a horrid environment. But you weren't there for too long were you?" Sakusa scowled. How had he gotten this information? How did he know? "Then, a guy came up. His name... Hanamaki-sama."

"Stop," she demanded, her voice quivered. "How do you know his name?" Of all the years she had lived in his lab, she hadn't even known his name. He didn't give it to her, because she wasn't worthy. That's what he'd said. She was a mere test subject, a stupid object to him. She didn't deserve knowing his name.

"He's respected everywhere, Sakusa-san. For creating you," his evil glinted. "You're not just a human being - you're a monster. A creature with supernatural powers. Electricity flows through your veins. Show me, Sakusa-san. Show me your powers."

She wouldn't give in. She was focused, and if she strong, she'd be able to hold it in. Hold it all in. Show him that he was lying through his teeth, that she was normal after all. But she couldn't. Asano shouted something and suddenly, blue lasers flew from the crowd of suited men. They were tasering her. They cackled as they continued to taser her. Sakusa cried out in pain. Her scream was inhuman. It echoed in the big hall they were in.

She couldn't hold it in anymore. All the anger, the fear, the sadness, the confusion fuelled her. Sakusa had begun levitating. The men stopped, watching her in a mixed emotion of fear and awe. A blue electrifying glow radiated from her and from her veins, they could see visible electricity travelling through them. She'd completely transformed from the terrified little girl, into an electrifying monster. N one had ever seen anything close to this.

Asano laughed maniacally, "So this is the real you. The monster you!"

"Shut up," came the hollow voice, "You don't know anything!" She screamed and electricity shot out of her fingers, frying every men she touched. The dark room was illuminated by the electricity flying around the room. Sakusa was like lightning itself. She could feel nothing, hear nothing, see nothing but anger. Sakusa directed the electricity flying out of her fingers, to the mob of men and each of them fell down as they blue light touched them. But slowly, the began to get up.

"Koro Sensei, somehow, even after you're dead, you still find ways to confuse us," Karma clicked his tongue. The book in front of him, a sigh escaped him. He'd tried seeing if there was any real connection with Koro Sensei and the two Hana's by checking the school system once again, but he couldn't find a single thread leading them to him. At all. As he flopped on to his bed backwards, he heard something crumple under him. He jerked up.

He was quick to locate the noise; it had been a piece of paper in his back pocket. He pulled it out and flattened the scrunched piece of paper. He remembered now; he'd found it on the floor in the alley when he'd gone to save Sakusa that night. It had seemed important too. And not surprisingly, these pants were the same he'd worn that night. That night. It'd felt like a dream. Sakusa had seemed like a whole different person.

Karma pushed the questioning thoughts out of his head and read the paper. It was a wanted poster. With a blurred picture of a girl, his heart thumped as he found himself recognising the face. It couldn't be. One million yen? Why was Sakusa on the poster? Suddenly, the pieces finally clicked in his mind.

He rushed to his laptop. He couldn't- No. He had to know. It took a while, but he finally found it. It had taken him too long. But he had finally found Koro Sensei's backgrounds. And his name. "Korogane Ryushi," he muttered. There was nothing on him except that he had been recruited into a official assassination company and then all the rest which Karma already knew. There was no other tie with him to anyone called Hana.

Searching for Sakusa Kimi next, he opened the school system as well as the government registrations. There was no such person called Sakusa Kimi. But there was one missing person. From Okinihara. Hana Korogane. She had a bounty of one million yen. And she was definitely the person. Hana Korogane hadn't just been the last survivor of Okinihara though. Hana had been dragged into the lab at the age of twelve to have experiments of all sorts done to her. To make her a supernatural being with powers. The scientist, Hanamaki-sama, wanted to create a human who could harness electricity itself. Looking at the reports, Karma clenched his jaw. Everything that had been done to her had been... Should've been insufferable.

Karma stared. Now it all made sense. Koro Sensei was from the forbidden war city of Okinihara. And so was Saku- Hana. That was why both didn't have any background information at all. Koro Sensei had been the older brother Hana had lost, escaping the city to be an assassin. But then he was caught and slaughtered. At the same time, Hana had been taken into the lab before breaking out. Then just before he was killed, he found out that his sister was coming to the very school he was teaching, just a bit later. He'd quickly organized for Karma to reach her and he knew that Karma would no doubt tell her the truth Koro Sensei had wanted.

But had his teacher anticipated more? "I've finished the last assignment, Koro Sensei."

She stared in horror. It wasn't working. These men - they were prepared. Yes, the electricity had shocked the living daylights out of them at first, but they had some sort of protective wear. And they were beginning to stand back up. Sakusa gritted her teeth and fired the blue light from her fingers again. But the men easily dodged it; they weren't just people, they were trained forces of the government.

The scene seemed to slow in motion. The men were pulling something out of their holders, and before Sakusa could make out what it was, she felt a screaming pulse shock through her. The world turned black, and she was alone.
