(Nagisa's POV)
I sighed and continued to walk down the side of the hill when Ritsu appeared saying "The main campus has a pool…in the opposite direction." I sighed and glanced ahead at Shinko who had remained pretty silent since yesterday and I was beginning to get worried that she was hurt more than she was telling anyone. I shook my head and then Karma began "I heard about what happened yesterday, I'm sorry I couldn't be there." I sighed and said "Yeah, but the person I feel the most sorry for is Shinko, she must be in some serious pain." Karma nodded and said "I would have killed the bastard had I been there." I laughed and said "I'm sure you would have Karma." Then Koro-sensei stopped and we all glanced at what was behind the bush which had moved and we all smiled, he had created a pool from the natural surroundings for us. I cheered and jumped in and watched as many others did the same. It was kind of cool when he did things like this and to be honest…kind of hard to want to kill him.
(Shinko's POV)
I watched as everyone jumped in and I sighed and sat beside a tree and looked up at the canopy above and smiled the perfect setting for a pool…well done Koro-sensei. Then Koro-sensei began setting so many rules and I sighed and watched as everyone else began having fun but just then Hinano splashed water over him and I sat more upright, his whole body had swelled to twice its size…another weak point. I smiled and then Karma began to try and topple the lifeguard seat and I knew that he would either get him in or we would all take some action. I stood up and said "So the great Koro-sensei has a weakness to water huh? This could be simpler than we know." Koro-sensei chuckled and said "I'm afraid it isn't that easy my sweet child, if it was then you would have already succeeded." I laughed and nodded to the rest who in turn nodded back and I smirked and walked away from the pool but something rustled and I looked around but only caught a glimpse of white before something covered my mouth and I began to get drowsy…chloroform? I felt myself falling and as I looked ahead I saw Shiro in front of me and I knew I was in trouble.
*Hours later – Shinko's POV*
I awoke with a banging headache and I blinked a couple of times and tried to move my hands but something prevented me and I felt around and realised that my hands were tied behind my back. Then I realised the screaming pain coming from my arm and I winced. I tried to remember the last thing and I saw and then it hit me, it must have been Itona and Shiro that captured me. But what did they want with me? Then the door opened and I glared at the intruder and Shiro chuckled and said "Ah, Miss Yunmi…you have finally awoken." I tried to sit up but he pushed me back down and said "Without you, the classroom cannot function properly…they may have secondary leaders but no one really knows what to do. However, you will be the final piece of our plan. So you may want to get some rest." I turned away from him and he smiled and said "Goodnight Miss Yunmi."
I watched as the room was once again filled with darkness and I sighed, whatever they were planning it somehow involved me. I tried to move my arms into a better position but the rope that bound my hand was too tight and I eventually gave up and tried to lie down instead. I glanced at the light under the door and I knew I wasn't escaping because someone was sat just outside the door. I sighed and silently prayed that the class wouldn't do anything stupid. Please make the right choices guys, don't fall for this plan. I closed my eyes and decided that if I was to be at my best I would need to rest.
*The next day – Shinko's POV*
I kicked out as Itona came close but he grabbed my leg and pulled me to the floor and said "Will you stop fighting!" I growled and said "Leave me alone!" Then something was injected into my neck and I squirmed and then my whole body relaxed and I knew Shiro had injected something into me to stop me thrashing and I began to move upwards and I glanced down to see the floor leaving my feet and I gasped but still couldn't move anything and it frightened me the most, I hated heights and didn't climb unless needed. Then I watched as Shiro and Itona left and I yelled "Hey! You can't just leave me!" Shiro waved a hand and said "Oh we can, and we are doing…enjoy your day." I groaned and tried to sway my body but the branch above me made a cracking noise and I gulped, it was a long way down and did I really want to fall that far? Then a loud bang was heard and I looked up to see smoke rising from the area where the pool was and I frowned, what had they done? Then a lot of water rushed past me and I looked down to see Isogai and Maehara go past me and I gasped and said "Guys?" they looked up and shouted "Shinko? What are you doing up there?" I sighed and said "Shiro caught me; I don't know what he wants with me." Then more came down and I gasped and looked as Koro-sensei came flying past me and knocked me off the branch and I flew past the others and my rope caught on a rock and it jarred my arms.
I winced and said "Koro-sensei!" he looked back at me and said "Shinko? Where have you been?" I sighed and said "Shiro kidnapped me, long story but I need you to concentrate on getting the students to safety." Koro-sensei nodded and I closed my eyes and rolled myself off the rock and as I crashed down the mountain the rope slowly unravelled and I winced as I hit a sharp rock at the bottom and I got up shakily and said "Itona! Shiro! I am calling you into a fight!" Itona appeared and said "Like you could beat me…but if you want to be killed then fine." I readied myself and then he crouched and revealed his tentacles and I smiled, perfect he was taking the bait. However, before I could kick up anything he had me by the waist and pulled me closer saying "You will never beat the wolf…sheep." I growled but then Terasaka said "Oi, tentacles two…I'm not going to stand by while you use me as a dummy…so come one." I gasped and then looked up at Karma and smiled…he knew what he was doing, I suppose. I was then thrown towards Shiro and I watched as he came closer so I changed my position so that I would kick him in the stomach and I knew that I at least held some chance at beating him. I linked my legs around him and held his hands in place and I knew I had him now.
He grunted as we hit the floor and I pinned his arms and said "Everyone…jump now!" the whole class then began to make a huge splash and I smiled as Itona's weaknesses were exposed and I looked down at Shiro who then punched me in the nose and I rolled off in utter pain. He rolled over and said "You truly are the Alpha of this class; we will be back Miss Yunmi, Itona! Let's go!" I glared up at Shiro but before I could move Itona was beside him and I sighed and watched as they left and I knew that it wasn't the last we would hear of those two. Then I turned to find Terasaka and Hara arguing about the wise cracks he made about her weight and I sighed and I smiled as Karma per usual got involved and I sat down on the rock smiled as the whole class cheered at the fact that we had once again beat someone away for our eventual goal. I shook my head and stood up and said "Alright guys, we may have beaten those two douches but we now have the exams to focus on so study hard." All the class cheered and I smiled and went to walk away but then someone grabbed my shoulder and I turned to find Isogai who began "I am glad you took out Shiro, you really know how to fight." I smiled a little and said "That's what comes from being a great assassin." Isogai smiled and I carried on walking away, this class had taught me what it was like to be accepted again but just how long would this last?
I walked past the classroom and up the mountain towards a small cave that overlooked the whole of Kunugigaoka and it was perfect for watching the sunset. I walked up the dirt path and watched as butterflies and birds past me in twos and I smiled and sighed, as I looked up I could see the mouth of the cave and I smiled and glanced behind me to check that nobody had followed me…I didn't want company right now. I reached the mouth of the cave and I sat on the edge of an overhang and I smiled as I watched the rest of the class file into the classroom and I knew they were ready to go home. I rested my head on my hand and watched as the sky went from a perfect blue to burnt orange and floral pinks and I smiled…I am still thinking of you Ginko. I promised I wouldn't forget you and I have never forgotten your smile. I looked up as the clouds streaked the sky and a lone tear fell from my eye, it had been 7 years since I had seen Ginko and now I doubt I ever will. "I thought I would find you up here." I lifted my head up to see Karasuma stood above me and I smiled weakly and said "Hey sir, something wrong?" He sat beside me and said "Just wondering where you were, the class did well today don't you think?" I smiled and said "They are learning to use each other's talents to execute a successful assassination." Karasuma nodded and said "You know a lot about assassination and how it should be done." I lowered my head and said "As a child growing up with assassin parents and brothers and sisters who were all assassins…it was inevitable that some of it would stick."
I looked out towards the horizon and smiled saying "Do you have any family?" Karasuma shook his head and said "I was an orphan from a young age, both my parents were killed by assassins and that is why I became one…to avenge them someday." I nodded slowly and said "And did you?" Karasuma turned away and said "Yeah, stabbed him in the back and left him to die in the dirt." I whistled and said "An experience like that can change a person; I'm guessing that you don't like people getting too close then?" He smiled and said "I don't want them hurt like my parents." I smiled and said "Not everything ends in death you know?" He looked at me and I smiled a little and continued "I'm going to go to bed" he nodded and I stood up and descended back towards the classroom and I glanced up at the crescent moon and sighed, not long left until the deadline was upon us. However, the midterm exams were close and we had to focus on that as well as the assassination of our teacher. Could we do it?
