A/N: Merry Christmas my snowflakes~ (Ha very fitting with the season) I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas so far and have gotten everything you wished for. Here is my Christmas present to you: A new chapter ft. a very vicious and emotional Mizuki-chan. Enjoy~
Chapter 21
As soon as the red haired boy landed on the ground, Mizuki marched over to him. Ignoring the warning bells in her mind , she grabbed his collar and shook him, "What the hell were you thinking, Akabane! That was stupid and reckless! Do you really value your life so little?"
He glared up at her. Slapping her hand away, he grunted, "Tch. What's it to you?"
Slap!
Shock filled golden eyes. "You're right. It's your life, but you have a responsibility to take care of it because there are others who wanted to live yet still died so don't go carelessly throwing your own life away." She seethed.
Finished, she let go of him and went back to help Nagisa up. She paused when she heard Akabane speak, "I wasn't throwing away my life. I took a calculated risk. I figured that was the best chance I had at killing him. Even if I died, I would've saved Earth. Is that enough for you?" He asked the last part sarcastically.
Clenching her fists, she ignored him and continued walking. "Can you stand?" She asked Nagisa who had been watching the two of them with a concerned look. Her tone was gentle despite her anger at her classmate behind her.
"Huh? O-oh, yeah. Thanks Hiayshi-san. I can take it from here." He waved her off.
Seeing that he was really okay, she gave one last glare to the other boy and a respectful bow to Korosensei before heading back to the classroom.
POV Switch (Karma)
He glared at the back of the girl as she headed back into the building. His cheek still stung a little from her surprisingly strong slap. Who does she think she is? He growled in his head. A hand appeared in front of his face, breaking him from his thoughts.
Looking over to the owner of the hand, Karma saw his old friend standing with a closed eye smile. Accepting his help, he hauled himself to his feet. "Who is she?" He asked Nagisa since he seemed to be relatively close to the girl.
"Her name's Hiyashi Mizuki. She transferred here this year from Class A. No one knows why though." The blue haired boy responded also looking in the direction the girl had walked off to. Looking up at his friend's irritated expression, Nagisa sweatdropped a little, "Don't take offense, Karma-kun. I think she strongly believes in the value of human life, so she gets angry when someone recklessly gambles with theirs."
"Hai!" A third voice interrupted their conversation. Standing a little ways away, Korosensei had an orange circle on his face indicating a correct answer. "Hiyashi-kun has a strong sense of duty to live life to the fullest since she knows that not everyone receives the same opportunity."
Karma tched and looked to the ground, glare still on his face. "You sound like you're speaking from experience, Nagisa-kun."
"I am." The boy simply responded, surprising him. When did he…? Karma wondered. Nagisa continued, "I attempted a suicide bombing near the beginning of the assassination. Hiyashi-san had been pretending to be mute, but she broke character when she saw what had happened and defended me against Korosensei when he got angry."
Karma was silent at that.
"Whatever. It's still none of her business what I do." He grumbled. A flashback flew through his mind: panicked hazel eyes, a hand reaching out towards his falling body, a female voice shouting his name. Wanting to escape the uncomfortable feeling starting to build in his chest, he turned his attention to his teacher. His killing intent felt lighter than before. Running his thumb across his neck, he smiled, "I'll kill you tomorrow Korosensei."
The teacher simply smiled at the pleasant killing intent from his student. That is, until said student pulled out a familiar looking wallet.
"Wait! Isn't that my change purse?" He shrieked.
Karma simply smirked with a look of feigned innocence, "Oh, is it? Sorry, but I told you not to leave your things defenseless in the staff room."
"Return it!"
The light hearted fight between student and teacher continued outside as another school day came to a close.
"Maybe I shouldn't have slapped him…" Mizuki mused to herself as she approached the gates separating the mountain and the main building.
"You slapped someone?" A loud voice asked incredulously with a hint of amusement. A blond head popped out of the bushes with a proud smirk, "I knew you weren't as prim and proper as you made yourself look."
Turning to the source of the voice, Mizuki found herself face to face with none other than Rio Nakamura. Ah, shirtballs. She cursed in her head. "Nakamura-san." She greeted with a curt nod.
Nakamura gave her a disbelieving look. "I just popped out of the forest. Could you at least act a little surprised? I swear your expression never changes." She pouted childishly before pinning Mizuki with stare. "Never mind. I finally caught you, so it's time for you to fess up."
Knowing there was no escape for her, Mizuki sighed, "Okay, what do you want to know?"
"Why did you pretend to be mute? And why did you avoid me after I helped you? Also, are you dating Chiba-san?" Mizuki gave her a look to stop her from continuing. She really didn't feel like doing this after today.
"I pretended to be mute because it was easier for me. You don't get to know me, I don't need to know you. Easy. Next question, I avoided you because I knew you would ask a lot of questions and I didn't feel like answering them. And no, Chiba-kun and I are not dating. Just because we are friends does not mean we are in a relationship."
Blue eyes matched hazel eyes in an intense stare off until the other girl sighed and put her head in her hands, "Okay, fine. You didn't want to get close to us. I get it; we're the End Class and you're a smart Class A student. If that's the case why did you end up befriending Chiba-kun?"
Mizuki recalled Nagisa's words explaining how the class thought of her as an elitist from Class A. "I don't care that you are all in the End Class. I didn't care while I was in the main building, and I can't really say otherwise now, can I? I simply don't like getting close to other people."
"But, but, then explain Chiba-san!" Nakamura spluttered.
"There isn't much to explain. He was insistent in obtaining my friendship. I find his company pleasant, so I accepted."
A teasing smirk appeared on Nakamura's face. "Pleasant, huh?" She asked, jabbing her elbow into Mizuki's side.
"Yes, is that not what you're supposed to feel with your friends?" Mizuki asked with an innocent tilt of her head as she stepped out of the other girl's reach. She really had no idea what Nakamura was trying to say.
The girl gave a long suffering sigh at Mizuki's ignorance. "Never mind. You'll find out one day. Okay, new question, why'd you get kicked down to Class E? We all know you never pay attention, yet you get perfect grades so there's definitely more to the story."
Mizuki tensed at the question. This was the question she was trying to avoid. Schooling her expression, she answered in a monotone voice, "I was sent here just the same as the others. I received my notice and came here as they ordered. The reason is my business with the school."
"So there is more?" Blue eyes searched her face for more information, but she didn't give any.
"If that's all, I'll be heading out, Nakamura-san. I have places to be and people to see. I hope you don't bother me in the future as I've repaid you for your assistance earlier."
"Wait!" The blonde haired girl called out to her as she started walking out the gate. "I'll stop asking you." Mizuki relaxed a little. "If you answer one more question."
"Yes?"
"Why don't you like to get close to others?" Nakamura met her gaze with a serious expression. It gave her an appearance of maturity she didn't have normally due to her goofy smile.
"Not your business." Mizuki answered with narrowed eyes. She didn't need to know. No one needed to know, bar Chiba. Mizuki could see the protests growing in the other girl's eyes, so she sped off without looking back.
Rio watched the other girl as she sped off. Her clear blue eyes shifted to the sky as she made a promise, I'll get the answers out of you soon, Mizuki-chan.
Chapter 21 End
A/n2: IMPORTANT
So here's the deal: After a long (meaning the hiatus period I was on)period of deliberation, I have decided that the next arc will be a prank war between Karma and Mizuki. Eventually this will end (whether they become friends or not will be revealed after everything is over), but for now I figured after this fight there is no way Mizuki and Karma would go back to ignoring each other. What I need from you all are prank ideas! I am a horrible person to think of pranks, so please feel free to come up with your most devious, annoying, horrible prank you have every wanted to pull on a person and send it in a PM or leave it as a review. Not all of the ideas will make it into the story because some might not fit or I might be unable to write it, but I will do my best! Also, this will end up as a class war so if you have specific people you think would be helpful in pulling off the prank include them:)
IMPORTANT NOTE IN SHORT (PRANK IDEAS!)
Prank ideas between Karma and Mizuki. Can include other students (try not to include main building kids but hey if it works it works). No teachers.
Format: Prank idea (can be as specific as you want), who is pranking who, classmates involved (optional! But also if the classmate is already on a team they cannot be switched unless you give me a VERY good reason)
Ship Poll:
Ryuunosuke Chiba: 17
Akabane Karma: 9
Asano Gakushu: 9
No ship: 3
(Wow Karma and Gakushu are now tied... but Chiba still destroys them in popularity:))
P.S. Thank you for the welcome back messages! They made my day:)
