Karma's P.O.V.

We failed.

The assassination was a big failure. Koro-sensei became an undestroyable orb and we were left soaking wet with hopes crushed.

My classmates looked depressingly grim and I felt no better. Unlike them though, I could not show how dejected and pained I felt. I was the carefree deliquent. And in a certain way someone they could always be sure of to lift their mood. It might sound arrogant but it's true. If even I let these feelings surface, the whole class would have no one and nothing to hold on, despite our teacher's gentle encouraging words.

Heh, encouraged by the target itself. How humiliating.

We did our best, we planned everything, double-checked, tripple-checked - yes, I made sure to revise everything. And yet it went up in smoke.

It was my fault.

I know it was because I was supposed to build the basement of this whole assassination. But what did I do wrong? The calculations were right. The hideouts as well, the movie they made was flawless. He was distracted.

I didn't count in human emotions. Fear, nervousity, anticipation and pressure. That's where the problem laid. I should have foreseen that - the class was still just a bunch of kids. Being put into this kind of situation where the fate of the whole world depended on them just couldn't but affect their morality and abilites.

Damn it.

"Karma?" Suddenly someone behind me whispered and I returned back to the reality, this restaurant in the hotel. I immediately remembered that I was sitting back towards my brother and apparently, he demanded my attention.

"Yeah?" I grumped under breath so that no one would hear us. I was swinging on my chair backwards so it was easy to hear him.

"Did something happen?" his voice was gentle as if he were worried. He really did notice the tiniest things about me.

Although surprised, I bit back the urge to break out into... not tears, just something, and answered monotonously: "Nah," and please note how I did not put the "why?" in there. Because I knew it would become an integration then.

He was about to question me further because we had stubborness in blood, but got immediately cut off when I abruptly sat up, hearing a strange, quiet hissing. I wasn't the only one, my classmates were alert now as well and looking around for the source of that weird and omnious sound, though the A-class had no idea what we were doing. I had a bad feeling about this.

Finally, I found two black orbs laying on the floor and before I could shout out a warning at the others and say that I recognized them and their function, a blast of light accompained with greyish black smoke stunned everyone present. I held in my breath with closed eyes but hearing the thuds of bodies hitting the ground, it seems most of the kids have collapsed. When I was about to cough out or choke myself from the lack of oxygen, the fog of chemicals dissipated and I saw only four people on their legs though some of them staggering a bit.

Nagisa-kun sat only a few meters left away shot me a confused and disoriented look with eyes wide and then his gaze jumped from one of our classmates to another - Kayano-chan just behind him, Nakamura on his right. He must have inhaled a bit of whatever it was that surrounded us just a while ago since his eyes were glossy and somehow slow. In front of us stood Karasuma-sensei and Bitch-sensei though both of them were only a bit better than my bluehaired friend. And behind me-

"Gakushuu!" I cried out in joy when I found him up and alert, not affected by the blinding lightbomb or the sleeping (or at least I hoped so) gas. But at the same time, I cursed the stars for whatever was going to happen, he would get involved. And despite him being black belt in every martial art, assassin world was still too much even for him.

You asking why I mentioned the assassin world? Oh please, we all know this couldn't have been anything else but another stray assassin trying to get the bounty. I mean, what else and for what reason would anyone or anything attack a bunch of teenagers on a private island about two hundrets miles away from any civilisation? It hasn't been the first time anyway. And if this still wasn't an argument good enough, then the guy who just walked in from outside and held another bomb and a knife was just enough of an answer.

"Still standing? Such a pain," he hissed under his breath but we heard it just fine. He wore military green and black cloak and leather boots which by the way had a few more knives on the sides. I didn't see them but could pretty much say that under his jacket there were at least dozen more bombs and most likely not as harmless as the two from before. The bottom half of his face was covered with a black cloth but the fierce, blue orbs of his radiated so much coldness and killing intend it made me clench my fists. This guy wasn't good news.

"Gakushuu, run away." I whispered without turning around, keeping focus in front of the enemy, so I probably missed the are you fucking crazy stare he was giving me. But now was not time for this. I couldn't move freely with my brother watching.

"What the hell is that guy?! What's going-"

"Who are you? What have you done to the students?!" Karasuma-sensei's furious tone cut through the air but his voice cracked when he suddenly fell to one of his knees, Bitch-sensei catching him in time. She huffed as well, beads of sweat appearing on her forehead at her attempt to stay on her legs.

"No worries, everyone's safe and shit. For now. Give me the monster and I will leave. If not-" he opened his jacket and confirmed my suspicions: "everything goes booom".

I analyzed the situation. Koro-sensei was currently in Bitch-sensei's handbag, unable to help or protect us. The two teachers and Nagisa-kun who was essential in these kinds of operations were partly affected by the smoke bomb. My brother had no idea what was going on and I had no intention of letting him know. And me...

Would I be able to take him on? In a fist fight, most probably. I was a fighter after all. But this was assassination and an assassin we were talking about, who was at least ten meters away from me and keeping numerous weapons at the same time. He could kill me in a blink of an eye, together with everyone here. Not that I cared about the A-class, but my classmates didn't deserve to be a blood stain on the walls and the one to spill Gakushuu's blood would be only me. Also, poor whoever would have to clean up.

So fighting back was unthinkable. So was handing Koro-sensei in. I had to think. None of the options were acceptable. I had to create a different one. Mine. One which was going to save both the students and this obnoxious bullshit ball. But how? What was I supposed to do? I had one minute at best, then the attacker would get impatient and threaten us to blow this whole place out. He would search for the orb himself and the octopus would be snatched away. He would take away our one and only chance to kill him.

And after that failure today, I couldn't let that happen.

Suddenly, an idea struck me. Clear, easy and yet very tricky. Quite a crazy one too but hey, have I ever had anything but crazy ideas?

"I have him!" walking towards him through the two adults, I declared. While he locked with my eyes, I snatched the Russian woman's bag and took Koro-sensei out to prove my statement.

"NUYAAA! What happened?!" the yellow ball asked frantically, its attention darting from students to me, to teachers and then to the creepy guy in front of us.

"Karma-kun, what are you doi-" the blue haired shrimp called out weakly behind me but I decided to ignore it. This was the only solution after all.

"Do you want this? I will give it to you." I screamed with determination and honesty so that it would be at least partialy plausible.

The black headed assassin made a grimase in satisfaction (I knew despite him having his mouth hidden): "Smart kid. I knew we could sort this out peacefu-"

"But," I continued, slowly closing the distance though my legs felt like leather. "I don't trust you enough to believe you won't hurt anyone in here. After all, taking two classes of one of the most prestigious school as a hostage would give the goverment no option but to comply with your demands."

Koro-sensei whispered, his face washed with worry: "Karma-kun, stop. Leave me and-"

"I don't care about you runts, give me the octopus." the assassin snarled, reaching out his hand.

"Outside. I promise I will hand it to you outside, far enough to ensure you won't harm my friends." I put as much fear as possible (which wasn't that hard but don't tell anyone) to make my demand more meaningful.

It seems the other teachers realized what I was doing: "Karma-kun, no, stop, that's too-"

I sent them a smirk of fake confidence and returned to the bomb guy: "I will go alone. A kid like me won't be able to do anything anyway,"

He laughed at that and I was relieved for that meant two things: He understimated me so he let his guard down and two, he was going to agree.

"Fine! Let's go then, boy." he sang and made a gesture which gentlemen usually do when guiding the lady. How fucking annoying. To mock me like this... If I could, I would have broken his nose.

But of course, the biggest idiot just had to interfere: "WAIT!"

Irritated, I glanced back at the strawberry blonde who tried to run towards us but got promptly stopped when a knife flew to the ground just an inch from his toes. A clear warning: stay away.

"The deal says alone. Right, kiddo?" he sweetly smiled at me and I swear I had killed him fourty times in my mind.

"Yes. Stay here, nii. I will take care of this and be back in no time." and with that, I turned my back at him and walked out of the restaurant, out of the hotel, with that guy only a meter away and keeping an eye on me.

"Karma-kun," the octopus called me many times but not once did I answer, instead tugging him in the bag, giving off the impression I was betraying him and ready to hand him over. But I was not. Was I mad? Nuts? Sure, but I knew the assassin didnt want any more trouble or to kill some kids so I counted on that. My heart beated real fast when we walked to the woods and I almost couldn't hear the sound of my feet hitting the ground and stones. We went on in this silence for five, ten, fifteen minutes, and the blue eyed guy must have felt incredibly strong and confindent with only a (supposedly) fourteen years old student left at his mercy. He didn't say anything until-

"We are far enough already. Give him to me." the patience was gone.

Indeed, we were so far I could hardly see the lights of the hotel. The place - a hill, to be exact, was secluded, silent and dark. Perfect for what I was about to do.

"What's wrong? Shitted your pants? Once I have that monster, you are free to go to mama and cry your eyes out." he mocked me with a hand reached out in air and in the moment of him being narcistic, he didn't even bother to take out a knife in case I tried something. Arrogance indeed was dangerous. He didn't even suspect I would try something.

And that's when attacked. I kicked him in the groin and snatched one of his knives. Then I ran before he could realize what has happened. I dissappeared into the bushes and among the trees, the darkness surrounding me and giving me a cloak. But only for a while. The musclehead charged right after me and no matter how scary it was to admit, he was too quick. If I didn't loose him soon, he would catch me and most probably gut me.

Think, think, think! I repeated to myself, trying to find a way out of this deadly game of tag. The original plan was to get away from them and then run away and keep him occupied chasing me for another twenty four hours until Koro-sensei reverted back to his form. But seeing how it was going now, it would not take twenty four hours for him to catch me. More like twenty four seconds.

Screw this.

Suddenly, I heard a pained scowl belonging to my pursuer. It seems he had hit something but once I saw a familiar light colour of strawberry blonde next to me, I realized that he didn't hit something but got hit with something. I rejoiced but then cried out in despair.

Gakushuu was not supposed to be here.

He was not supposed to face this guy.

And then there was the teal blue. Nagisa-kun somehow got behind him and was about to knock him unconsciouss when he suddenly roared and took out a knife, swinging it all around himself. As my friend tried to dodge and not get sliced in two, he was thrown away and probably hit his head because he just laid on the ground groaning. I hoped it wasn't anything serious.

But then concern for my brother took over as the assassin grabbed my brother by his arm and threw him towards Nagisa-kun. They were both laying and obviously frowning in pain while that guy was getting closer, which made me fear he intended to get rid of them.

"STOP!" I yelled on the tops of my lungs and surged in front of my friends, holding out that one knife I took. Not that it was going to help but with the two half-out cold, I didn't have much hope to cling on. Also, my head was spinning from the adrenaline and panic. I slowly walked backwards until I noticed the hollow sound of the ground and realized we were standing on a small cliff.

Just perfect.

No, seriously, this was like my last hope.

Sure, it was high from up here but I have taken enough of the surroundings in to know that we could survive that fall. I mean, the trees were there, the grass, the river. Yeah, like 50% chance we would survive. Still better than with that 1% with this guy up here.

"If you want Koro-sensei," I hissed in a threatening tone, "then come and get him."

And with that, I turned to grab my two precious friends and jumped down from the cliff, hoping that at least the two of them would be fine.

Yeah you know what, maybe I am suicidal.
