Hello everyone! For those of you who had read the original story, this is a remake of one of the first action arc! I found it important to redo some of the old chapters for the developpement of Shiena and Otoya's relationship. But I won't redo what concerned the Ocs (like Midori), but those characters are still "canon" in this story. I hope you'll like this new adaptation! And for those who hadn't read the original story, don't worry, you'll still understand ;)

Unfortunately I have a problem with my computer so I had to write this chapter on my laptop that doesn't have an auto-corrector and the internet is really bad so I couldn't corrected the text like I usually do (because as you probably know, I'm not an English native speaker), so sorry if there's some mistakes, probably more than usual.

Shiena felt slightly dizzy when she woke up. It took her some time to be fully awake and noticed her predicament. She was currently lying on a cold floor in a small room that was barely lightened. It was when she realised that there was someone else with her, an old acquaintance, that Shiena finally remembered what had happened.

An old classmate from Class Black had come to see her at her workplace. Shiena made her wait until she had finish her shift of work, but when it was over, her old classmate had disappeared, only to suddenly attack the brunette in the backstreet behind her workplace and knocked her out with was seemed to be chloroform.

"Oh, looks who's finally awake."

"You…why? What do you want, Inukai!?"

The pink haired girl, who was sitting on a chair, looked at her with a sadistic grin that was far from being comforting. With some difficulty, Shiena got back on her feet.

"It's Isuke-sama for you."

"…Inukai."

Isuke looked kind of annoyed, but she didn't insist.

"So, why did you…abduct me? What do you want from me?" Shiena asked with some fear.

"Uh? Isuke doesn't want anything from you. A dork like you is far from being my type. You should rather ask that to that annoying blonde midget."

It took few seconds for Shiena to understand who Isuke was describing and the brunette began to be worried.

"…Hashiri?"

"Yes, her. She's the one who hired me be a special job, and I'm well paid."

With this confirmation, Shiena began to doubt. Why would Nio asked for Isuke to abduct her? Suddenly, the brunette realised what it was about and began to panic.

"Don't tell me…she knows that I'm trying to hack Myojo Academy?!" Shiena thought with fear.

The brunette slightly shivered. She knew that she was in great danger and that she needed to escape. She spotted the door and headed towards it, while Isuke remained sitting. But when Shiena tried to open the door she discovered that it was locked.

"It's looock!" Isuke said in a singsong voice before showing a key to Shiena. "Only I can open it."

The pink haired girl was looking at her with condescension, like she was mocking her and making fun of her helpless situation. But Shiena was desperate enough to risk it all in order to escape. After all, it wasn't like she had a choice if she wanted to survive. Whatever Nio had planned for her, it was certainly not something good.

Shiena worked up her courage and rushed towards Isuke, with the intention of stealing the key. But of course, the pink haired girl being a trained assassin, Shiena was no match to her. Isuke rose up and effortlessly shove Shiena on the floor, before twisting one of her arm behind her back, which elicited a moan of pain from the brunette.

"You better behave yourself you nerd!" Isuke warned. "Nio only asked me to keep you alive until that serial killer of yours comes…well, if she does. But she never asked me to keep you intact, so you better stay quiet for now, because Isuke doesn't like when things become bloody or noisy."

"W-What…what do you mean, my serial killer…?"

"Oh, did I say too much? Well whatever. Apparently Nio contacted Takechi-san and told her that if she doesn't come to save you before midnight, you'll die. But if she really comes, well…Isuke will have to kill her. So either you or that psycho will die tonight. Not that Isuke cares, because either way, I'm to be paid."

Shiena wasn't sure what to think about it. Was Otoya really going to save her? She highly doubted it. There was no way that a psychopath like her would put her life in danger for someone else. But still, Shiena kind of hoped that Otoya cared about her enough to come rescue her. But in that case, she would be murdered by Isuke.

Suddenly Shiena heard what seemed to be a phone bell.

"Oh, it's Nio's signal. It seems that Takechi-san came after all, how surprising. Well, Isuke will go deal with her, but first…"

Shiena heard a metallic sound and noticed that she couldn't move her arm. She understood that she had been handcuffed.

"I think it will be safer that way, you don't seem cooperative enough and there's someone who wants to talk to you. Bye-bye, and good luck." Isuke taunted before leaving the room and closing the door behind her.

Shiena tried to get up, but with her hand restrained behind her back, it was harder than usual. All the brunette managed to do was to roll on her back and sat. She then crawled until she read a wall and lean on it, ready to use it to try to stand up. But because she could, she suddenly heard footsteps heading towards the room. Shiena began to seriously. Whoever was about to come inside, the brunette knew that her safety was compromised.

The door suddenly opened. Shiena began to shiver in fear. She first saw a shadow on the floor, before a person finally was in her sight. The brunette's heart fastened when she recognised who was this individual.

"Well, well, looks who got herself in deep trouble." Nio said with her usual cat-like smile.

Shiena felt that she was about to cry or pee her pants due to the terror she was feeling, but she managed to keep her composure. Nio may be small, but Shiena knew that she wasn't as harmless as she looked like.

"Hashiri…"

The blonde girl approached Shiena and crouched near her, still smiling.

"Kenmochi-san, do you know why you are in this situation?"

"…n-no…" Shiena pretended, even if she had a doubt why.

"Aw, that's not good to lie. Come on, I'm sure you know exactly why you are here."

Shiena continued to obstinate to not reply. Suddenly, Nio grabbed her by the collar and pushed her on the floor. The brunette landed on her back and she received a violent kick on her stomach.

"That's not good, Kenmochi-san. You shouldn't lie like that, especially not in your predicament." she said with a maleficent grin.

"I…why…you already know…the answer, so why…asking me?"

"Because I want to hear you say it by yourself. I want you to admit it and realise how screwed you are and how stupid you were to think that you could get away with this."

The blonde girl suddenly began to press her foot on Shiena belly. The brunette gasped in pain but said no word.

"Say it!" Nio ordered.

Shiena began to have difficulies to breath and the pain on her belly was unbearable. She knew that her situation was hopeless, so at least if replying to Nio could bring her less pain, that it worth the shot.

"I...I tried to...hack...Myojo Academy." Shiena replied painly.

"And you really think that you could get away with hacking Myojo you fool!? Well, I must admit that you did a pretty good job at hacking our system, few people had succeeded. But those people, well...let's say they all mysteriously disappeared."

Suddenly, Nio pressed harder on Shiena's belly, which made the latter uttered a moan of pain.

"So, why did you do this? What's your goal?" the blonde girl asked coldly.

"I...I was just...mad."

"Mad? Why?"

"Because...I got expelled...for an unfair reason..."

"Uh? But you did send your advance notice, right? But you didn't kill Haru-chan during the time given, so it's normal that you had been expelled."

"N-No! I didn't...sent my notice yet...Kirigaya poisoned me before..."

"Is that so? Well your advance notice had been found near you, you even had wrote in it, so it seemed pretty obvious that you sent it. Anyway, it's too late now, Class Black is over. Azuma-san had won, even if Haru-chan is still alive...what a disappointing conclusion. So, enough with the useless talk, what did you think you could possibly acheive by hacking our system?"

Shiena thought about not answering, but the pain on her stomach made her change her mind

"I...wanted to blackmail Myojo, by...threatening them to reveal their secret if...they didn't let me have my wish."

Nio remained quiet for few seconds, before bursting in laugh.

"You...you actually believe that you could blackmail Myojo Academy? You, a nobody, pathetic little nerdish girl? Really? How funny! Damn, you're killing me! I never expected to hear something so ridiculous!"

The blonde girl removed her foot from Shiena's belly and the brunette coughed to recover some oxygen. She was terrified by what was going to happen to her now that Nio knew the truth. The latter grabbed her and forced her to sit down on the chair, her hands still handcuffed behind her back.

"So, the only thing to establish now is what am I going to do with you, you little too curious hacker." Nio said with a grin.

"P-Please, I...I will stop, I swear! Don't..."

"Tss-tss, I'm not interesting in hearing you beg for your life. Sure, killing you right now is an option, but where would be the fun? No, I want you to make a choice, for you to realise the consequences of what you'd done. It would be a way more severe punishment than merely killing you."

"What...what do I...need to choose?"

"That's the spirit! Well, since the chairwoman is a merciful person...when she wants, we offer you two choices. The first one, we let you go this time and even allow you to hack us again if you want, but we'll surely stop you and kill you if you try again, but at least we let you a chance to try again. But, for this...you'll have to let Takechi-san be killed."

"Takechi...what do you mean?"

"Well, I called her and told her to come here before midnight, otherwise you would be killed...well since she came to rescue you, you won't die tonight, but her on the other hand...this might be her last day alive. Isuke-san will kill her at midnight. The choice is up to you."

"And...what is the other option?"

"Oh, right! The second option is that you stop trying to hack us definitively, and Takechi-san's life will be spared. But, if you choose this option and still try to hack our system, then not only you, but your group Collective Dismissal and Takechi-san will be eliminate, with you being the last one to be killed. Don't think you'll get away if you try again! We already knew that you were hacking us even before Class Black. Why did you think we let you join, even though you weren't an assassin? Because we wanted to keep an eye on you. Those are the two options we are offering you. Choose wisely!"

Shiena took the time to think about those two options. With either of those two choices, she won't die tonight, so it was already somewhat conforting. With the first option, she would be free to try hacking Myojo again and if she failed, only her will suffer the consequences, not her group. But in return Otoya would have to die. With the second choice, she would no longer be able to hack Myojo, or else her group, herself and Otoya will be eliminated. This option put at risk her group, which she didn't want to.

The choice seemed obvious. She needed to let Otoya die. She couldn't risk her group's safety for that psychopath. This was her chance to finally get rid of her.

But would it be fair to let die someone who put her life a risk to save you?

"Yes, it is...Takechi, she...she's just using me, she only wants to save me because she doesn't want to lose her plaything..."

"Or because she truly love me..."

"No she doesn't! She bullies me, tortured me, sexually assaulted me, she deserves to die..."

"But she's trying to save me...she can't be that bad, right?"

"Absolutely not! She's a monster and I hate her!"

As she continued to be mentally tormented by her own thoughts, Nio suddenly showed a watch to Shiena, showing her that it was almost midnight.

Her choice was made. She needed to sacrifice Otoya, for her own sake and the safety of her group.

"But she must love me!"

"She still need to die, it's the only way! I can't continue like that, to live with her, it's too dangerous!"

"But...I doesn't dislike it. This kind of live, it's...exalting. And, she loves me, she's the only one ever loved me, and her love for me is so...intense. I can't...give up on her, I need her, she makes me...happy."

"And I doesn't really hate Otoya..."

Shiena took a deep breath and gazed at Nio. She finally made up her mind.

"I've made my choice."

When Otoya woke up, she noticed that her head was lying on a confortable surface, with a pleasant scent. She understood quickly that those were thighs. She was lying on a bench. She opened her eyes and discovered with happiness to whom the thighs belong.

"You are alright!?" she asked with concern.

"Yes, everything is fine, because you came to save me. Thanks, Otoya." Shiena said.

The serial killer felt her heart racing. It was the first time that Shiena called her by her first name.

Otoya recalled what previously happened. She had received a call from Nio, warning her that an old classmate from Class Black had abducted Shiena and that if she didn't go rescue her before midnight, Shiena would die. As soon as she heard that, Otoya rushed to go save her, to encounter Isuke. They started fighting, with the pink haired girl taunting her by telling her "you're a psychopath, you can't love for real, blablabla...". What a bitch. And then she had knocked out the serial killer.

"Uh, I saved you? I'm pretty sure that I got my ass kicked my Inukai-san..."

"Well, you know what they said. It is the intent that matters."

"Yeah but still, how comes we're both safe and sounds? What that pink haired bitch wanted?"

"I...I'm not sure. Maybe she was bored? Anyway, she let me go, we won't have to worry about her anymore."

Otoya noticed how evasive and nervous the brunette was. She was lying, it was certain. But the serial killer didn't mind. The fact that tye were both alive and free was the proof that whatever the problem was, it had been solved. Anf she was too happy to see Shiena alive and well to care too much about that situation.

"I'm so glad you know. I was worried about you so much!"

"Is it...because you love me?" Shiena asked.

"Of course! I love you so much, it couldn't bear the thought of losing you!"

"Say it again..."

"What?"

"Say it again...that you love me."

"Uh? Ok. Shiena-chan, I love you. You're the only girl I truly loved, for you I would do anything, because there's no love that is stronger than the love I have for you!"

Shiena suddenly began to blush. Otoya wasn't sure to understand her expression. The brunette looked pleased and also...relieved? Happy? Horny? She couldn't tell, but was what sure was that Shiena liked it.

"Otoya, I...I...I don't hate you."

The serial killer smirked in amusement.

"Very well, I'll take it that way for now, Shiena-chan."

Suddenly, Otoya put her hand behind the brunette's head and approached her from hers. Shiena made no attempt to break free and they eventually kissed. It was a soft kiss, but still passionate. They eventually broke the kiss and Shiena helped her to get on her feet.

"We should go back to your appartment. It's nightime."

"You're right, let's go home, Otoya."

This sentence made the serial killer smiled gueninely.

"Yes, let's go back home, Shiena-chan."

Aw, isn't that sweet? Maybe not...

I should rename that story "Shiena being bullied by her old classmates" ^^' (well then it means that a certain loli yandere should come back eventually to continue that tradition)

I did say that I won't bring back Midori for the regular story, but she might come back for a bonus chapter at the end of the story. Let me know your thought about that!

For those who had read the original story, did you prefer the original arc with Isuke or this remake?

See you next time! ^^
