(Karasuma's POV)
I watched as the whole class began the lunging and I smiled, it had been four months and already they had progressed. There was a few that stood out from the crowd like Maehara, Isogai, Karma Megu and Okano. They were all very good but the rest are nearly there with the rest, then something strange entangled around my consciousness and I turned and pushed Nagisa over and I creased my brow, how did he sneak up on me? Then something grabbed my arm and I turned and looked but before I could register anything I twisted the arm and then a squeal could be heard and I looked down to see Shinko in my grasp and I was holding her pretty tightly and then I gasped "I'm sorry Nagisa…sorry Shinko. I wasn't concentrating."
(Shinko's POV)
I winced as Karasuma still held my arm pretty tight and I choked out "Sir…can…you…let…me…go." Karasuma released my hand and I groaned and tried to rotate it and said "Jesus Christ, since when did you grip a student that hard?" he looked away and said "I'm sorry, it was a little over the top." I nodded and then the bell went for dinner and I watched as Karasuma walked off and I sighed and said "That was tense, I mean seriously that hurt." I glanced over at Nagisa and said "Are you okay?" he nodded and I hummed and watched as a few girls tried to get Karasuma to eat dinner with them and I sighed and said "Just leave it, he has already said no." but just then another man stood on top of the steps and I frowned, who was this?" then Karasuma began "Takaoka?" I closed my eyes and tried to remember everything there was to know about this guy and then it sprung, he was a good trainer but his methods were unorthodox and not only that but brutal and I knew that these guys wouldn't survive. He came down to us all smiles and laughter and I knew this was a mask to hide his true intentions until he had us roped in.
I sighed and walked over to a nearby tree and watched as the rabble got sucked in and I shook my head, this man was clearly trying to bait them before breaking them. He began handing out treats and then Hinano ran over and said "Do you want any of these?" I shook my head and said "I don't eat with fakers." Hinano frowned and I sighed and said "No, I'm not hungry." I growled at the fact that they had sent Takaoka in to do the physical side of this and I now had to watch as each one of my friends were broken body and soul.
*The next day –Shinko's POV*
I sat outside away from the group and watched as they all gathered for PE and I sighed, this was going to be brutal and I had to stop him if needed. I watched as he glanced around and then he turned to me and said "You joining us?" I laughed and said "In this classroom, I don't need to become an assassin…I'm already one." Takaoka laughed and said "Really? I don't much appreciate people who are above their actual status. So get your arse over here and quickly!" I laughed and said "No offence Mr Takaoka…but unless you would like to have your marching orders before the end of the day I suggest you don't tell me what to do." He prowled over to me and smiled like a school girl but then grabbed my hair and pulled me over to the group and I squealed. This man's grip was immense and it hurt my head just trying to get him off. He threw me to the ground and said "Now, you are part of this class and you will do as I tell you or you will be dismissed ahead of the assassination." I growled and he said "Now, now, no growling or I will have to punish you again."
I sat down beside Nagisa and he looked at me and whispered "Shinko, please don't hurt him. You will end up in so much trouble." I nodded but my eyes never left Takaoka and I knew his game. He then began explaining the new schedule and I looked at it in horror as it was more of a prison sentence than a junior high schedule. Maehara began to voice his concerns and I saw that face again and I stood up and said "Maehara!" but before I could do anything he had a knee in his gut and I heard a few gasps and I knew that Takaoka was ruthless. He then began "Rule number 1, we don't do can't. Rule number 2…we're a family and I'm the dad. Show me a family where dad isn't in control and I'll show you a family in crisis." I growled as he moved round to Kanzaki and Mimura and I knew for sure what ever came next wasn't going to be good. Then Kanzaki stood up and voiced her concerns about Mr Takaoka's class and I went to stand in her way but by the time I reached Takaoka he had already slapped her a mile away.
I turned and growled saying "What the fuck! Is this your way of getting us in shape? Because it sure as hell isn't going to be passed while I am here." But just as I finished Takaoka grabbed my arm and twisted it painfully behind my back and I screamed in pain as he whispered in my ear "Now, what did I tell you before about growling?" I winced in pain and he continued "Now this is your punishment…" and with that he proceeded to snap my arm clean in two. I screamed silently and as I dropped to the floor Karasuma ran out and shouted "Stop!" I slumped to the ground and whined quietly while Karasuma attended to Maehara and Kanzaki and then he looked at me and said "Shinko? Are you alright?" I felt the tears brimming and I couldn't form the words to say my arm was broken but then Isogai began "He has just broken her arm! We all heard the snap as clear as day."
(Karasuma's POV)
I looked over at the rest of the class who all nodded in agreement and then back to Shinko who was now sobbing quietly and I walked over and said "Shinko…let me have a look." She glanced up at me with those big eyes and I could feel my rage boil but I knew I couldn't make a bad impression in front of these kids so I began running my hand gently over her arm and when she screamed I stopped and saw the bone poking out. I winced and then looked up at Takaoka and but as I was about to say something Tentacle took over and Takaoka began to explain about how it was simple corporal punishment and I tried to ease the pain for Shinko but nothing I seemed to do worked. Just then Koro-sensei retreated and just as I was about to ask Takaoka pulled Shinko up by the broken arm and forced her back in line saying "Remember our little chat, well even the injured cannot skip these classes." I growled and said "You must be out of your mind, she needs this looking at." Takaoka then pushed her arm back again and popped the bone back in before walking to the front of the class and told them to do 300 squats.
(Shinko's POV)
I whined in pain as he began barking orders and I knew there was now no escape from this man. I stood next to Hinano and she began to wheeze heavily and then she whined "Mr Karasuma." I glanced as Takaoka came over and readied a fist and I stood in front of her and he laughed and aid "Then I will send both of you to the dirt." And with that he readied to lunge but then someone caught his arm and I looked behind him to see Karasuma and I smiled…he always came through. I then looked at Hinano and she smiled and Takaoka began issuing a challenge to Karasuma and I knew I was in no fit state to take up the knife and that's when he turned and glanced at us all and I closed my eyes and I began to feel very unsettled, I was dizzy and exhausted and I just needed to rest.
I fell to the ground in a pure blackness and that's when a lot of people called my name and I shook them off and said "I'm alright, just give me a minute to get rid of this dizziness." I pushed myself back up and Karasuma had chosen Nagisa and I smiled…nice choice sir. I watched as Nagisa approached Takaoka and I knew what was going to happen, we had been trying to come up with names for the move all of yesterday and now we had one…Cobra's strike. I smiled as he began to curb around Takaoka and I then closed my eyes and breathed out in a sigh of relief but then Karasuma came over to me and said "Are you alright?" I nodded and said "I think I…" but before I could finish I blackness overtook me and I hit the ground hard.
*Later in the day – Shinko's POV)
I sat up on the couch and sighed, this was no good. My arm killed and I couldn't sleep on this, I rose from the bed and walked into the classroom to see Koro-sensei still awake, watching some stupid drama and I shook my head and waltzed over to the corner of the room and sat down before pulling the covers over me and watching as all the cliché scenes got the desired effects from him and I rolled my eyes and said "Seriously?" He glanced over at me and said "How come you aren't lying on the couch?" I sighed and said "For as much as it is good I can't get comfortable and I can't lie on the broken arm so I just can't sleep." Koro-sensei nodded and said "Do you want to watch this with me?" I shook my head and said "No thanks, to be honest I feel that soap operas like that melt brain cells." He laughed and said "Question, if you didn't watch TV in prison…how did you entertain yourself?" I lowered my head and said "I read, most of the time and when I didn't I was having private lessons with a tutor." He nodded and then said "I will watch this last episode then you can sleep." I smiled and said "Don't worry, I have slept through noisier."
Koro-sensei smiled at me and said "You remind me of a girl I used to know, she was just like you but she died a very long time ago." I smiled and said "Question, why are you so secretive about your past?" he sighed and said "Because there are some things that people should never know about me." I sighed and said "Is it true that you stopped Nagisa from blowing himself up?" Koro-sensei nodded and said "It was a valid attempt but I would hate to see one of my students hurt themselves over me." I smiled and lowered my head and decided to try and sleep but I know I wouldn't. Let's just see what the next few weeks brought me.
