Comeuppance


"I see. Well if that's what you've decided, go right ahead. I won't try and stop you Takagi. How could I? This is a free country, not some iron fisted dictatorship."

A dark chuckle escaping from the former teacher. The man's eyes narrowed as he smoothly adjusted his glasses. A surprisingly snake-like tongue darting out to lick his lips in a most salacious manner.

"However, I'm afraid you will have to remain Ms. Marikawa. Losing the doctor would be a major blow to our chances for survival. Wouldn't you please consider staying, what do you say?"

Sauntering towards the smaller group, the self proclaimed leader spread his arms wide. The gesture itself, a gross parody of a warm welcome.

"There are students here that are relying on you, Ms. Marikawa."

The trio of teens moved as one to protect the school doctor. Shielding the buxom nurse from the teacher's perverse gaze. Hirano took point whilst Saeko moved to cover his six as Saya nudged Shizuka away from the fighters and towards the door for a quick exit if needed.

Pht. Thump.

A nail suddenly finding a home for itself in the seat next to the now terrified teacher. Hirano stood tensely in the middle of the aisle, his makeshift rifle now pointed straight at Shido.

"You, you shot at me!" He cried out pathetically, clutching at his face. A bead of blood managing to trickle down, escaping from the teacher's grasp.

Kohta sneered in disgust at the fearful worm that one Koichi Shido revealed himself to be. "You should be grateful. I missed on purpose, you fucking douchebag."

"But you, you've never been a violent student?!" A tremor present in the adult's voice ultimately making what should've been a statement a question. The snake was visibly shaken.

"How many of my fellow students do you think I killed in school the other day? Huh! I could even kill you if I wanted to..."

"You see, I was holding back. Always holding back. The rage, the hatred, but now? Now I can let it loose." A twisted grin spreading across his full face.

"I never forgot all the times you stood by, watching and laughing as they beat me down. As they humiliated me." Kohta's voice, dropping into a growl as he uttered the last part.

"If you're gonna go, now's the time to do it," The pudgy teen called out, not taking his eyes off of the predator turned prey in front of him.

"I'll make sure to stop him if he tries to follow…"

The stunned females hastily moved to comply with the order. Saya and Shizuka, opting not to look back at the overweight youth as they exited. Saeko on the other hand, paused at the door before taking her leave. The sword mistress eyeballing the heavy set gunman with keen interest for the first time.

"Mmm you're such a man Hirano-san, I'm impressed."

Kohta softly grunted in acknowledgement as he waited for the door to shut behind him. A quick peripheral glance told the teen that his team was cleared and more importantly that there would be no witnesses.

"Hirano-san, you misunderstand! I've always held you in such high esteem. I just knew you'd pull through, and become tougher. And look! You did!" The thin man feebly attempting to placate the armed student in front of him.

"So that's why you turned a blind eye to my suffering, to other's? Why you fully backed and supported those who tormented their peers? What a fucking joke."

He shifted his stance ever so slightly, watching as the eyes of the coward before him went wide. Before the man could begin to beg for his life, the nail gun fired. This time the gun nut didn't miss. The small projectile travelled through Shido's glasses, and proceeded to embed itself deep into his skull. His corpse twitched wildly for quite a bit in the middle of the aisle.

Pht. Crack. That's Shido-sensei.

"You motherfucker!" Tsunoda cried as he moved to charge the gunman.

Kohta didn't hesitate for a second, calmly taking a step forward as he adjusted his aim. The chubby student only fired once, hitting his target right between the eyes. The large would-be hero stumbled, and started uttering unintelligible nonsense before dropping.

Pht. Blonde asshat dealt with.

Hirano stepped over the bodies in his way without care and directed his gaze to the next target. A scrawny boy with messy shoulder length hair.

"Holy fucking shit, please, please don't kill me. I never-"

This poor soul's pleas for mercy were interrupted by the soft sound of compressed air expanding. And a nail to the forehead.

Pht. Okay, so that's the skinny little shit taken care of. Who's next?

"I'll do anything! Just stop, please just stop!"

Pht. Slut pig down.

Sobbing could be heard in the row behind the slumped over form of Yuki.

Pht. Pht. Pht. Pht. Sycophant one, sycophant two, cunt number two, and another douche.

Kohta moved forward through the aisle, his weapon at the ready. He peered into each set of seats, checking to see if he'd missed anyone.

All clear.

"What took you so long, lard ass?" Saya asked in a biting tone, her hands on her hips.

"Was just tying up some loose ends Takagi-san." Kohta answered in a nonchalant manner. The otaku pushed his glasses up, rays of sunlight glinting off his glasses transforming his smile into something more sinister.

"Nothing for you to worry about,"

The pinkette instinctively shivered.

"Ugh never mind. Let's just get a move on already…"


Author's Note:

Hey, KOTG here. If you made it this far, why not go a bit farther and hit that fav/follow button to stay posted for new chapters? There's a lot more to come. Anyway I just wanted to thank you for reading this first drabble? oneshot? story? It's an ongoing project that I'm pretty excited about. As a hardcore fan of HoTD I was always interested in the roads not taken, ya know? So this "story" I guess you can call it will be more like a collection of oneshots and such all based on alternate realities and what ifs? Don't get me wrong, some of these will end up being connected, but my goal is to make sure each chapter is able to stand on it's own as an independent work. Also note, I'll be experimenting with different styles and such to give each chapter its own unique feel.

Thanks for checking this out!
