Sorry, I was so late. This chapter is ruthless, so read it at your own discretion! I didn't mean to fuck up her life like this but I was feeling mean.. so, yeah, enjoy!
Naomi made her way to the classroom at her own slow pace. It was not like it would take a lot of time, from the forest to the rundown classroom building. She seated herself at her desk at the back of the class and pondered what she would do for an hour before the class started, when she remembered her homework. She had completely forgotten about it, thanks to the octopus' untimely arrival. She frantically searched for her copy in her bag and proceeded to scribble out the sums on algebra which she did not understand at all. Then she quickly drew a diagram of the human nervous system and completed the work just five minutes before Koro Sensei barged into the classroom. She looked up now to see that the full room was filled with students whose arrival had gone unnoticed in the haste.
Before she even had time to close the notebook it was taken from her table and was now staked with others on the teacher's table. "Good morning, students!" Koro Sensei exclaimed gleefully, dodging BB bullets with ease, and the day began.
Evening came faster than Naomi expected. (Yes, I did not describe the day and yes, it is because I am lazy) Night came even faster. Apparently, time flew by when you were fending for yourself in the forest. Naomi was just about to pass out on her pillow from exhaustion when her phone buzzed. It was a message from… her mother.
For a few seconds she stared at the screen in astonishment, then anger surged in her. Who are they to throw her out and now try to contact her? Hadn't they said they did not want anything to do with her? What were they saying anyway?
She opened the chat and saw a voice message- "Naomi darling, where are you? We miss you so very much! What kind of a daughter are you to leave your family like this? And after everything we have done for you! Do get these silly ideas out of your head and come back! We'll be waiting!" Her mother's sickly sweet voice rang through the silence of the night and muddled her thoughts. Of course it was her fault! She had never been the good girl they wanted! How could she be so cold hearted! Guilt replaced anger and Naomi's hand shook in remorse as she climbed down the tree.
Naomi reached the mansion she had never called home. Her meager belongings were in her school bag along with her books. She rang the bell.
The tall stately woman with a heavy makeup laden face opened the door and Naomi was face to face with her mother. She knew the beauty which she so proudly presented was just plastic and paints. "Oh, Naomi darling!" Her mother cried in fake joy and relief. "We were worried sick! How could you do something so stupid! Now do come inside! We'll have a talk…" with that Naomi again found herself willingly entering hell, so articulate was the devil.
Seated in the soft couch of their drawing room Naomi looked down at her sweaty hands enveloped by slim manicured ones of her mother as she whispered her faults and mistakes into her ear.
Her father towered behind her and brother hung on the stairs, sniggering at this procession.
"Really Naomi, why would you do something so stupid as running away? We'll, that is not a surprise considering your uh, inadequate amount of brain cells, but after everything we have done for you? This is how you repay us? You were supposed to do the dishes and keep the house clean and at least be of some use to compensate for your ugliness and stupidity. Have you forgotten? We haven't even had dinner today because you decided to be so selfish! Now you won't do any such thing would you, dear? Just don't think, it must burden you so much! We are only doing this for your own good, Naomi." Naomi kept looking down, knowing somewhere that this was wrong and she was not what her mother had just said, but unable to do anything.
Mrs. Sakaki nodded to her husband, a small evil smile on her face. Naomi was back in that cage and whatever had caused her to try to escape had been destroyed.
"Get the dinner ready!" Mr. Sasaki barked, making Naomi jump in fear. "Yes, sir." she said to herself than him and trotted off to the kitchen to carry out the order.
Dinner came to an end and Naomi picked up all the plates and organized the kitchen before making a sandwich for herself and gobbling it up quickly, lest someone should snatch it from her.
She made her way upstairs to her room and was almost about to sit down on her bed when her door banged open and the giant of her father entered the room, his face clouded with rage. Naomi shrank against the wall trying to disappear in it. The figure advanced towards her.
"You brat! Where is your brother's lukewarm milk and your mother's after dinner tea?! Have you forgotten everything? The meal lacked salt and tasted terrible. Is this all you know? Good for nothing useless pest! You deserve a lesson!" The hefty man raised his fists in a process of bringing them down on the thin figure.
Naomi braced herself for the heavy blow which was sure to come, as she crouched down against the wall covering her head with her bruised arms. But it never came.
When nothing happened for quite some time Naomi raised her head ever so slightly only to be greeted with a shocking sight. Her father was now hanging in mid air, around his neck the coal black tentacle of her teacher. Koro Sensei! It was fearful to look at. She never thought her comical yellow octopus of a teacher would ever look like this and now she saw the creature who was capable of destroying the world and who they had to kill off. His eyes gleamed red and veins throbbed on his forehead but the smile did not waver, making him look more terrifying than if it had been a frown.
"Nobody is allowed to even lay a finger on my students let alone try to push them down or manipulate them into thinking less of themselves. All my students, especially Naomi, are smarter than even the Class A students if guided properly. If this is how you treat your daughter then you don't deserve to be a father!"
The grip of the tentacle around her Father's neck tightened and just as she began to fear that Koro Sensei might commit murder, the figure was flung at the other side of the room and her teacher turned towards her.
Seeing her frightened face he immediately turned yellow again and looked at her with those kind beady eyes. Naomi felt her muscles relax and her eyes began dropping from exhaustion as adrenaline left her form.
Koro Sensei held out a tentacle for her to hold on to and without thinking Naomi did so, trusting this alien creature more than she had trusted anyone ever before. But who could blame her, kindness without a motive was a new thing to her and with that she slipped into the warmth and comfort of unconsciousness.
