(Shinko's POV)

"Look alive people, this is your newest languages teacher." I glanced at the blonde and she smiled and said "I'm Irina Jelavic, I am happy to be working with you." I groaned and watched as she fawned over Koro-sensei and I rolled my eyes. "Hey, what do you think about her?" I turned to Karma and whispered back "She looks like a tart." He snorted and I smiled and he high fived me and I looked towards Koro-sensei and he looked berry pink. Clearly falling for her charade, Kara had informed me we would have a new assassin who would pose as a teacher and would be joining today. This was clearly it, was she even old enough to teach? Mind you, most didn't think I could do what I did. I stood up and shouted "Nagisa, ready?" he nodded and Karma stood up and said "Open fire!" And with that the whole room opened fire and Koro-sensei dodged and I smiled as I shifted my gun a little to the left and aimed at Jelavic but a hand appeared in front of my gun and I glanced up at Koro and he sighed and said "While they may not kill humans they can still hurt, so no aiming on purpose for Miss Jelavic." I groaned and said "Fine…but your too close." And with that I shot his hand and he looked at me in shock and said "Have you never heard of the kill zone?" he looked at me puzzled and then another shot hit one of his feet and he glanced at Karma and I smiled but then another hit his other tentacle and I glanced at Nagisa and he smiled and I said "Well you're in it." He backed off as Nagisa came over and I looked at the two boys who were now beside me and I nodded to Kara and he smiled and said "I will leave you to the students Tentacles."

I sat back down and Jelavic looked at me and I smirked and raised my brow but she looked back towards Koro and carried on fawning over him. I looked out of the window at the early morning and that's when Karma whispered "That was a good technique, like a rabbit in a wolf's den." I smiled and said "Jail teaches you a lot of things." He snorted and said "So you're like a trained assassin already then?" I sighed and said "Can we stop there? I don't want to speak about it." Karma looked at me but I turned away and concentrated on the board. I watched as Koro smiled at me and I shook my head and said "Karma, we need a plan." He nodded and I sighed and wrote down the equation. Dinner was next and as we filtered out of the classroom Jelavic came running out of the classroom and shouted "Can you get some Thai tea please sweetie?" I rolled my eyes and watched as Koro ran off to attend to her whims. As soon as he left Jelavic came over and said "Alright kids, now he has gone I need information…Nagisa I heard you're the one with the little notes." I rolled my eyes and said "You want to kill him you will have to corner him." And with that I walked off and went inside to get away from all of them.

I lowered my head down so it was resting on my knees and I sighed, in jail cornering the weakest link always made them submit.

"You're the weakest bitch in here Shinko!"

I scrunched up and began to sob quietly and I knew that once this was done I was going back and these guards weren't afraid of shooting me.

(Karma's POV)

I sat at the door and listened to her cry and it ached inside to hear my best friend to cry so badly. I sat down against the wall and breathed out. What she did was unforgivable but she didn't really have much choice but to do what she did. Nagisa came over and said "Karma? Is everything alright?" I nodded and pointed into the classroom and he nodded and said "Do you think Koro-sensei can change her?" I shrugged and said "He is honest I suppose, but there are some things in this world you cannot change Nagi." He nodded and said "Do you think she regrets doing what she did?" I looked into the classroom and whispered "More than we know. Jail can change people but I think it has broken her." Nagisa nodded and said "She must be hurting…" Then Koro-sensei came over and said "Sometimes things go wrong but we all have to support her in order for her to bloom." I looked at him and shook my head; she needed someone to believe in her. I stood up and called back to Koro-sensei and Nagisa "She needs someone to tell her that they are there for her and not against her."

(Shinko's POV)

I looked up to find Jelavic sat on the desk and I sighed "Something you wanted?" She shook her head and said "You know a lot about him don't you?" I shrugged and replied "I tend to watch my prey and when I am ready to strike I will, like a wolf waiting for the rabbit to leave its hole or a spider waiting for the fly." Jelavic just smiled and said "You would make a great assassin someday kiddo." I scoffed and said "Well, you can't assassinate anyone in prison my dear Siberian friend…no weapons allowed." She looked at me shocked and I shook my head and said "Why do you think those guys are armed and always watching me?" She glanced towards the two security officers and said "I thought they were for Koro-sensei…but they are for you?" I laughed and said "Clearly don't know who I am then…My name is Shinko Yunmi, the youngest girl to go into an all-male prison." Jelavic's jaw dropped open and I smiled and said "Don't look so scared…I can't actually kill anyone but Koro-sensei because if I attempt it then I myself will be shot."

I looked out of the window towards the yard and sighed and whispered "So don't treat me like I am dangerous…I simply made a mistake that cost me my freedom." Jelavic sniffed and said "It must be difficult being in your situation…I sure would hate it." I rolled my eyes and said "It is something you would never understand…Jela-bitch." She growled and I got up and walked towards the staff room for some peace at least. Karasuma looked at me as I entered and I nodded and plopped down on my sofa and said "Skipping next period, Jela-bitch doesn't actually teach, she is more interested in trying to kill Koro-sensei." Karasuma nodded and said "You seem distracted yourself, something you want to get off your chest?" I looked over to him and shook my head saying "Not unless you have become a psychiatrist…I have a lot of problems, none of which can be solved." Then another voice cut in saying "Every problem has a solution my dear, you just have to find the easiest but most interesting way to reach it." I glanced up at Koro-sensei and sighed saying "What happens if you believe that you are the problem and the only way to solve it is to kill yourself?" Karasuma looked at me and said "You want to attempt suicide?" I chuckled and said "Like I would get away with that, no I am just thinking of ways in which I can understand my mind-set…after all I cannot kill you Koro-sensei if I don't have the right mind-set."

Karasuma laughed and said "Spoken like a true assassin, you better watch out for this one Tentacle…she is dangerous." I lowered my head and listened to the conversation between pride and hatred and I felt a tear fall and I watched as it landed on a yellow tentacle and I looked up to find Koro-sensei holding a tissue and I nodded and accepted the offering. Then Karasuma got up and said "I will leave you two to it, I have work to do." I nodded and soon it was just me and Koro-sensei left and I shifted over and said "Does anyone view you as a monster?" He sat down beside me and said "Many people my dear, although I am glad you and your classmates are seeing me differently." I nodded and said "Does it hurt?" he nodded and said "Harsh words always do, I am guessing you have suffered many?" I pulled my knees up and said "Bars and prison officers cannot protect you from the slander and words of others…they just ignite them." He placed his tentacle around my shoulder and said "I'm guessing Nagisa and Karma haven't warmed to you yet?" I felt a stray tear slide down my cheek and I whispered "I have no idea what they are thinking." Koro-sensei then hummed and said "I think it is about time that we allowed the class to make their judgement on you, don't you?" I scoffed and said "More rejection…"

*After Jelavic's attempt – In the classroom – Shinko's POV*

I sat at my desk and watched as Koro-sensei finished algebra and then he began "I think one of your classmate's wishes for you to know something important before we continue trying to assassinate me, Shinko…would you like to begin?" I lowered my head and breathed out saying "Koro-sensei is refereeing to the reason I was put in jail. It's not an easy story to tell but I will, it was half way through 1st year and Nagisa and Karma were my closest friends at the time but Nagisa was constantly bullied buy a kid called Hitomi Neyagawa. I cared for Nagisa because I didn't want his work to suffer due to bullying so one day we were in class and I sat in front of Hitomi and he was kicking Nagisa's chair and it just so happened to push me over the edge and I pushed him up against the wall and rammed his own pen into his chest while punching him in the face. He breathed his last as Karma pulled me off of him and soon I was arrested and abandoned by everyone. Make what judgement you want but I suppose I was sick of seeing my best friend being bullied." And with that I walked out of the classroom and back towards the staff room. Karasuma and Jelavic soon followed and I looked up and said "There, now you know the full story, I am the reason that both Karma and Nagisa are in E class."

Jelavic came over and said "You…killed…that…boy?" I rolled my eyes and said "You kill people for a living and you judge me?" she held up her hand but I sighed and lay down on the couch and turned away from them all saying "It was a mistake that I am currently paying for…and life means life in jail." Karasuma sighed and said "Your file didn't go into that much detail but I suppose I was to expect it was something like that." I closed my eyes and then Nagisa's voice called out "It's not your fault, you were protecting me and if I'm honest it was scary but…" I sat up and said "There is no but, I killed a boy and that makes me a monster just like I see in your eyes. It was the same look you gave me the day they carted me away and the day you saw me on trial." Nagisa lowered his head and said "Koro-sensei has opened my eyes to not judging a book by its cover; I see that I made a quick decision based on emotions." I stood up and then a load of voice agreed with him and I peeked out of the door to find the whole class stood there and I sighed and said "You probably think me a monster?" Many shook their head and several began saying no but then Sugino said "Listen, what you may have done is wrong but that was your past and we don't hate you for it, we are more interested on whether your technique can be used in assassination." I looked up and frowned "You don't hate me?" Karma then laughed and said "No one could hate you Shin, not even Nagisa." I looked towards my class and then Karasuma looped his arm around my shoulder and Jelavic leaned on the other and said "No one here thinks any differently of you so please understand…you would be the perfect Alpha for this class." I looked at the rest and they all nodded in agreement and I looked towards Koro-sensei who nodded and walked off.

I had been accepted and now I was finally going to be a part of their plans…finally accepted. I burst out of the staff room and ran towards Koro-sensei and hugged him saying "Thank you sir, you helped me understand." At the same time I pulled a knife out of my pocket but he grabbed it on time and said "Nice try Shinko but still not going to work." Then a shot was heard and Karma laughed and said "But your now missing a tentacle." I smiled and said "Rabbit in the Wolves den." And walked away from him. I took my seat again at the back of the room and said "Thank you guys, all of you for accepting me as I am, and not just another criminal." The whole class laughed and Sugino said "We have an already trained assassin on our hands ladies and gentlemen!" I smiled and looked around at everyone in the class.

I watched as Jelavic began her lesson again and I watched as she wrote her example and I cringed as those words came back to haunt me. Many men in the prison have had their way with me due to me only being 15 and a female they over powered me easily. I cringed but a hand was placed on my back and I opened my eyes to see Karma and I smiled but I knew I couldn't fool him and he then shouted "Oi, Jela-bitch! Be considerate for circumstances in this class!" I tried to hush him but Jelavic smiled at me and said "Once I have finished with you honey…you will have those prison bound men eating out of your palms." I groaned and said "Thanks Karma." He laughed and said "No problem…just holler if you need me." I smiled and looked over at Nagisa who smiled and mouthed 'you sure?' I smiled and nodded back. I had my friends back, and it was all thanks to someone I was supposed to kill?

*After school*

I sat on the couch and watched the night go by quietly but Koro-sensei hadn't yet returned and it was quiet without him. I sighed and then I heard sobbing and I creased my brow and walked down the hallway towards the classroom and I heard Koro-sensei say "My dear Aratani, I have tried to help them but the deadline is too soon." I creeped back to the staff room and frowned, who was Aratani? And why was he crying? Did she die? I shook my head and picked up the takeaway ramen that Karasuma got me and began to eat quietly but I would have to find out who Aratani is and why he was crying. A few minutes later Koro-sensei came in and smiled saying "Good evening Shinko, how beautiful this evening is." I smiled and said "Yes, it is a night to spend with people we miss the most." He nodded and I looked towards the moon and sighed "Tonight should have been and moonless night, but I suppose it is comforting to know that night still has some light left." Koro-sensei came over and sat beside me saying "Are you missing someone?" I lowered my head and said "My mother, she was the only kind person in my family and she was always there for me." Koro-sensei sniffled and said "What about your father? Wasn't he nice?" then another voice interrupted saying "He beat and abused her until she reached the top, if I am correct Shinko?" I turned to find Karasuma stood there with a bag of food supplies and I smiled slightly and said "Yeah, the man was a perfectionist and loved his job more than his family."

Karasuma chuckled and said "He sounds like my boss." I smiled weakly and said "He is your boss; my father owns the assassination organisation that you work in which is why I was hired into this. Hirito Yunmi is my father and Hiromi Yunmi was my mother." Karasuma dropped the brown paper bag he was carrying and said "Your father…is my boss?" I nodded and said "I'm sure I just said this…at least twice." He dropped to his knees and said "I am just shocked that's all, I hadn't expected to be facing the boss's daughter." I smiled and said "Don't worry, my father abandoned me after the incident and I wasn't really considered his daughter anymore." Koro-sensei came over and said "Things can only get better…after all you have been through the worst haven't you?" I shrugged and said "Who knows? Life is unpredictable." And with that I lay down while Koro-sensei and Karasuma sensei talked about tomorrow and the lesson plan. Although I didn't have family I still have friends who are willing to help me.
