Hey guys! So I'm finally back to the world of Fanfic! Cheers! Starting university was honestly more tiring than I imagined but it's all good now! Because I don't want to bore you with my uninteresting life story, let me just make three important announcement before you start reading.
First, I want to thank BlueSkyBlue for being my beta readers! Virtual cookies for you my friend! And I also want to thank ToastedWeirdBrain and my other two friends for giving me wonderful ideas for this story. Without them, this story would never be born.
Second, this fanfic is not, and I repeat, is NOT yaoi. There will be no pairings in this fanfic BUT there will be bromance. Maybe some of you might think it's shonen ai but I assure you it's not. There will only be a really really really close friendship between Nagisa and Karma and might possibly Asano but you are free to interpret their relationship as you wish. I do not hold anything against it.
Last but not least, I DO NOT OWN THE COVER IMAGE AND ASSASSINATION CLASSROOM! All credits go to its rightful owner.
Oh, and one more thing, this story takes place during the Civil War (Chapter 149) when Nagisa is fighting Karma.
Karma could feel himself losing conscious.
The war between Blue Team and Red Team was at its peak. Only Nagisa and Karma were left, the teams' aces fighting the last battle.
The teams' aces, both fighting for their own beliefs as to whether to eternally bring peace to their dear teacher or to help find a cure to salvage the humanity still left inside him.
Both unwilling to give up as they fought their hardest as a sign of pride to their cause.
And as a sign of respect to their friendship.
'I'm going to faint...' Karma thought warily as blackness started to seep in his vision. He could feel Nagisa's arm around his neck, effectively constricting his carotid artery. He was vaguely aware of the sound of crunching leaves beneath him and also the fact that he was about to lose. Despite this, a small smile slipped onto his face.
'I lose, Nagisa-kun.'
But just as the darkness was about to claim him, it vanished.
Karma let out a harsh cough as oxygen suddenly rushed back. While panting, he looked up and through a clouded vision, saw Nagisa's back facing him. For a moment, he thought the fight was already over with his defeat.
Karma was only right about the first part.
"I surrender."
The fight was over, but it was his victory.
A very bitter victory.
The words were spoken loud and clear, his usually polite tone rang strong and distinct through the forest. Everyone present was stunned as all eyes were focused at Nagisa's face but he refused to meet any one of them, opting to stare at the forest floor.
"What?"
Karma's face showed utter disbelief but there was still unmistakable anger underlying beneath his words.
"What did you say?!"
This time, instead of shock, fury coloured his words. Ever so slowly, he stood up and glared at the blunet's back. But if Nagisa could feel the heat of his glare, he didn't show it as he repeated his words.
"I surrender."
In a blink of an eye, Karma appeared in front of Nagisa. He harshly grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him towards him. His crimson red eyes glared angrily at azure ones but those eyes still refused to meet his. Nagisa's blue bangs shadowed his eyes, making the fury inside Karma to shoot up.
"Take back your words," Karma spoke in a dangerously low voice.
When tense silence filled the air, Karma knew Nagisa wouldn't take back his words. Gritting his teeth, he pulled back his right arm and readied himself to punch Nagisa.
"Karma! STOP!"
Two pairs of arms held him from behind, forcing him to release his grip on Nagisa. But still, Karma violently struggled to escape said arms, all the while glaring at Nagisa who, despite all this, still refused to look at him.
"That's enough! The Blue Team has surrendered! It's over, Karma-kun!" Karasuma yelled as he approached the struggling boy.
"That's right. That's enough."
Everyone seemed to stop moving when they heard a vaguely familiar female voice. Everyone turned to the new voice, all except one. To Nagisa, he felt that time had stopped moving as soon as he heard her voice.
Shiota Hiromi.
Everyone except for Nagisa was taken back by her sudden appearance but she ignored them all, her eyes solely focused on her son.
"Nagisa."
Nagisa involuntarily tensed up when he heard his name being said in those cold and harsh tone.
"Let's go."
Nagisa felt a lump forming in his throat as he slowly turned around and finally faced his mother. As expected, her face revealed nothing but Nagisa could still fell the wavelength emitted by her.
And it clearly showed fury and rage.
Hiromi's glare sharpened when she saw the hesitation in her son's eyes. Nagisa immediately noticed it and visibly flinched before he walked towards his mother with heavy footsteps.
Nagisa's movement seemed to break the spell that froze the whole class and there was an immediate uproar.
"Why are you here?!"
"Where are you taking Nagisa?!"
"Since when were you standing there?!"
"Nagisa! Where are you going?!"
But through the chaos, it was Karasuma that kept a level head. He was quick to react and soon, he was already standing in front of the uninvited woman.
"Shiota Hiromi. You are disrupting the class. Please leave at once."
Hiromi glared at Karasuma impassive face before she lashed out.
"I am leaving! But I'm taking my son with me!"
Karasuma wanted to react her but only one thing stopped him.
Nagisa was looking at him with pleading eyes.
His usually soft azure eyes that seemed to shine with gentleness were filled with desperation, silently screaming, begging him not to anger the woman further.
"Okaa-san, please let me talk to them."
Hiromi now focused her glare at her son, eyes so cold that seemed to freeze Nagisa to the spot. But at the same time, with a glare so filled with anger and fury that it almost scalded Nagisa. Then, without a word, she sharply turned on her heels and left the blue-haired boy to his classmates and teachers.
As soon as she was out of sight, Nagisa bowed low on his waist, keeping his eyes trained to the ground.
"Gomen nasai! Okaa-san said that she wanted to look in my class! But I didn't know that she was here until a few minutes ago! I'm really sorry for her behaviour!"
Again, there was a tense silence when they heard the sudden apology. But before any one of them could recover from the shock, Nagisa shocked them even more. When he spoke, his tone was slow and soft, as if all of his strength had been drained away by his earlier apology.
"I'll be transferring to the main campus... Today is my last day in Class E... Everyone... Thank you for the wonderful times together... I'll definitely cherish them."
It was at that moment that Nagisa finally lifted his head to face the people that had become dear to him. And it was at that moment that everyone saw the pure gratitude and sorrow in those eyes that pierced through their hearts.
Karma knew those eyes.
He had seen them before.
It was those eyes when Nagisa said goodbye before he transferred to Class E.
It was those eyes that Karma hated.
And it was those eyes yet again that caused betrayal to filled inside his heart.
Karma fisted his hands at his sides, his nails digging so deep into his skin that they left cresent moon shaped markings on his palms. Inside, he silently begged Nagisa not to speak anymore but on the outside, he glared hatefully at him, as if daring him to say one more word.
And when Nagisa met those hate filled eyes with his own sorrow filled ones, Karma knew he lost the battle
"Karma-kun, I'm sorry. I knew that we had no other choice. I knew that we had to kill Koro-sensei... But... Just for a moment longer, I wanted to believe that we will always be together." The wishful tone did not escape from anyone as a small sincere graced his lips.
They watched in shock as tears fell from Nagisa's eyes but still, the smile never faded away. And in a blink of an eye, Nagisa straightened up, wiped away his tears and left them behind with one last whisper.
"Everyone, goodbye."
We are hitmen.
Our target is our teacher.
But as of today,
I am no longer a member of class E.
