The two stopped at the door of the classroom, Korosensei looked back to Akiko who would no long meet his gaze. Was she mad at him for what he had supposedly done to the moon and using the earth as his next target. Maybe not...If it were the case, even a tint of anger could show ones beginning to bloodlust, this was not the case. She was upset for a whole different reason. The creature shook off his gloom and entered the classroom, his students who had been sitting around and chatting amongst themselves had now reached to a halt and respectfully turned in their seats recieve their lesson.

"Morning to everyone," Korosensei greeted. "As I've mentioned before we've received a new student today. Her name is Akiko, a new ally to add to your assassination. Feel free to kill me when ever you pleas. Now Akiko, take a seat and participate. And again no need to rush into getting to know your fellow classmates."

Akiko looked up at all the eyes that were now on her. Her face now beet red, she ensured her camouflage technique wouldn't surface. But now at this point she kept her eye glued to the floor and made her way to an empty desk.

Half way though Korosensei's lesson, a few murmers and questions spread around the class about the 'new girl'. Akiko felt as though she had been going insane, listening to all the chatter. She had tried focusing on the lesson and take down notes but it was becoming more and more tense by the second till eventually her pen snapped in half. The entire class went dead silent even Korosensei had stopped his lesson to see what was wrong.

Akiko tried her hardest not to notice their gazes and rummaged through her bag in search of another pen. She ceased her hunt, looking up at Korosensei who held out a pen for her. She swollowed hard once more, taking the pen and muttered a soft thank you. Korosensei leaned closer to her and whispered, "Just focus on me, dear."

The girl nodded. If the others weren't staring at her before, they were now. Korosensei continued with his lesson and turned back to the black board. Akiko sighed heavy and did as she was told, and focussed on her supposed assassination target, Korosensei. A few times during the lesson someone had tried to shoot him with one of the anti-sensei BB which as usual was dodged with ease and carrieng on with the lesson as if he wasn't just shot at. Akiko was impressed by this in a way. Most of her focus had been on the octopus creature's movement let alone his lesson, to the point it had felt as though she had been falling into some sort of hazy dream. She was brought back to earth by the class bell indicating it had been lunch time. Korosensei had flown out the window to go out and buy lunch for himself, and by that, he's going to Italy for a pizza. Akiko sat by herself in the classroom. She hadn't had much of an appetite, so instead Akiko began reading through one of her text books to keep herself busy.

"Zed..."

Akiko looked up from her book. No one there. She returned to her book and ignored it.

"Why Zed...?"

The girl jumped quickly up from her desk. She scanned the room, but no one was there. Akiko backed up quickly towards the door and bolted into the hallway. Her breathing became heavy. She gripped her shirt tightly, her heart was beating so fast and heard she could hear it in her ears.

"You did this to me Zed..."

Akiko quickly turned around. Her face paled, she pressed her back against the wall. Infront of her was a small girl, blood dripping down her arms and chest, scars all across her face, her eyes dulled with disgust.

"You can't ignore me Zed...no...Akiko..." she muttered.

"I didn't...ah..I..." Akiko tried to speak, but she couldn't. She tried so hard to move, but it was as if she was nailed down into place. The girl gave a weak smile. "I'm going to make you suffer...YOU DID THIS TO ME!!!!!And now...you'll never be rid of me...be sure of that..."

"It wasn't my fault!"

"Akiko...?"

Akiko looked up to see Korosensei hovering over her.

"I heard you crying..." The creature pointed out and wiped away the still running tears Akiko had running down her cheeks. It was then she realised she was still in class, at her desk. She never left the room. Korosensei pulled up a seat to sit down in front of her.

"Is something bothering you?"

"No...it's fine. It doesn't matter really."

"I doubt that. But I won't pry you if don't wish to tell me. Now let's get your mind off what ever is bothering you. Are you enjoying class?"

Akiko's face reddened feeling somewhat awkward. "I uh...I'm not sure yet...I don't feel very comfortable here...can't I just stay in the apartment and you can teach me all this stuff when you get back?"

Korosensei shook his head. "I know it's uncomfortable but its good for your well-being to surround yourself with others. It's not healthy for you to isolate yourself from the rest of the world. Things will get better eventually."

"Fine then..." She sighed. She stared silently at her teacher for some time before opening her mouth to speak again. "Korosensei...?"

"Yes?"

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Of course, ask as many as you want."

"Do you...want to die?"

Korosensei was taken a bit aback by the question. "Not really, no. Why do you ask? Finally feeling up to offing your sensei? You can try but I can't guarantee your success." He grinned, his green stripes appearing once more. Akiko snickered lightly. "No, it's fine. I don't even know if it is possible to kill you. I couldn't even run away from you."

"Well you never know till you try. And you have to at least do that. Besides you won't be doing this alone. You have a whole class full of allies to help you. All you have to do is ask and you'd be surprised by the outcome."

"I guess so..." Akiko smiled warmly.

The two turned to see the door sliding open. It had been Karasuma, he gestured for Korosensei to come out and talk to him.

"I'll be right back, Akiko." he stepped outside to talk to Karasuma, closing the door behind him. "How is she coping in class?" Karasuma asked.

"She's a bit shy, but other than that she's doing just fine. Also, I've discovered that she's got some unnatural talents hidden away."

"Such as?"

"Well for one she's quite fast and strong, not faster than I of course." the octopus creature snickered in delight.

Karasuma rolled his eyes. "Is that it? I was already aware of her speed and strength."

"She can camoflouge too, it was quite interesting to see. Very handy skill for an assassin."

"And by camoflouge, you mean?"

"Her entire can change so well she practically invisible. Also she can see out of that other eye of hers. It's just...not a normal eye."

Karasuma had many questions bottling up in his head, the most recurring question had been what had been 'what have they been doing to that poor girl'. He nodded and gestured for the creature to continue.

"I've examined it myself, it's a cats eye, and she's very capable of using it. The only problem is, its hard to focus on things when you have two different viewing perspectives, its why she chose to cover it up, to make it easier for her to focus by keeping to a human-look on the world. I'm sure she has much more talents hidden away. She's finally given me some form of trust to actually talk to me, so we're making progress, slowly but surely."

"I see...I'll have to look into that facility that we found her in a little more. For now, continue to observe her."

"But of course, Karasuma. What kind of teacher would I be if I neglected to observe and understand my students?"

Karasuma nodded and walked off. He is a good teacher but he would never admit that to the creature who threatens to destroy the earth. Korosensei returned to the classroom to find Akiko with her nose buried into a textbook on 'Life Science '. He smiled warmly at her, at least she enjoys learning. Hopefully he can get her to open up a bit more to him, because despite everything there is something she's holding onto and it's causing her a great deal of pain and maybe he can help soothe that pain so she no longer has to suffer anymore. He wouldn't want any of his students to suffer and he hopes that none of them will have to.

Right after lunch, the students had returned to class, to continue their lesson on English which Irina had shown up to teach them. It had been somewhat amusing to the class to watch as Korosensei give her a lecture about smoking in class which she did right after giving them notes to take down. She responded to the octopus by blowing a puff of smoke into his face. Korosensei had quickly snatched the cigarette from between her lips as well as the pack she had in her pocket, telling her that she could get it back at the end of the day and that smoking is an ugly habit to have.

Akiko snickered watching her English teacher trying to shoot down Korosensei demanding her cigarettes back. A few of the students had noticed that Akiko had been lighting up a bit more than she did earlier.

"Hey, Nagisa. Do you think we should go talk to her after this lesson?" Kayano asked, leaning over to whisper to the boy next to her. "Maybe...I mean, Korosensei said we shouldn't overwhelm her...but I guess if it's just the two of us it should be alright." Nagisa agreed. Kayano perked and proceeded to do her notes.

After english it had been PE, which they had done with Karasuma, Akiko sat out since she didn't have a PE uniform and she wouldn't want to ruin her school uniform even though they were just doing target practice, it has been with paintballs and accidents happen. Nagisa and Kayano had noticed her sitting on the grassy hill of the classroom, observing the rest of the class. They told Karasuma they'd sit out with Akiko to keep her company which he understood and let them go.

Akiko had notice then heading her way but kept her eye on the rest of the class so she was at least aware of what to expect if and when she joins them for PE.

"Um..hey there, It's Akiko, right?" Kayano spoke in a sheepish manner, while Nagisa stood a tad awkwardly.

The girl nodded as a response her cheeks flushing pink, was hard to tell who was more awkward, her or Nagisa. With the many shade of pink she was turning it was mostly her.

"Mind if we sit with you?" Kayano asked politely. Akiko hadn't said anything instead she made a similar gesture Korosensei had done when inviting her onto the couch next to him. The two down with her. "So how are you enjoying your first day?"

"We can imagine it can be pretty nerve wrecking." Nagisa added. "But it can be great once you get used to it and all."

Akiko wanted to speak but her but her words wouldn't leave her mouth. She stuttered slightly forcing herself to speak, her trust in new people was very limited but Korosensei was new to her...and he was kind to her. Akiko took a deep breath in, and opened her mouth to speak but before she could someone had suddenly just appeared right before her in a blink of an eye.This had start all three of them a bit. It had only been Korosensei.

"I almost forgot to bring you your PE uniform. Here you are." he said handing her the the clothes, still wrapped up in plastic.

"T-T-Thank you...K-Korosensei..." she muttered out and left quickly to go change and also to avoid her awkward encounter. Korosensei turned to the two shortest students in the classroom. "Ah~Nagisa, Kayano, trying to make out new student feel welcomed I see."

"Kinda..." Nagisa replied sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Shs hasn't really said anything to us yet," Kayano said in disappointment.

After quickly getting dressed Akiko was about to walk out of the classroom but stopped after hearing them talk outside.

"Don't give up on her now. She just not used to all of this quite yet, but once she finally relaxes I'm sure you'll all be the bestest of friends!" Korosensei assured.

"We'll keep trying, sensei." Kayano said. "We'll do our best to make her feel welcomed." Nagisa added. A smile crept onto Akiko's faced. Once more she took a deep breath and walked out. "Let's go..." Akiko smiled awkwardly. Nagisa and Kayano looked at each other and then back to her. Both happy, that she finally spoke to them at least. While walking to the rest of the E-Class Korosensei watched the three walk away. 'Don't force yourself Akiko...take your time. And things will get better.' he thought to himself.
