It was one of those days that Karma really wished that he was suspended. He growled, punching the wall as it cracked slightly under the force.

"Jeez Karma, what's got you so pissed?" Sugino asked, walking into the hallway followed by the rest of the E-Class as they noticed Karma's sour mood and immediately backed off into the classroom.

"My damn relatives are coming into town." he snarled, punching the wall again and leaving a bigger crack in the wooden wall.

Sugino backed off slightly, "But I thought you would've liked to see your family again?"

The redhead laughed bitterly, "Please, I couldn't give a rat's ass about them. All they care about is me being the best in everything. They barely give two shits about me as a person and only care about me being number one or some other shit like that."

Koro-sensei, Irina, and Karasuma had shown up at this point, "Looks like you're having some family issues there kid." Irina said, twirling a piece of her blonde hair.

Karma scoffed, "Way to state the obvious."

"Are you sure your family doesn't do anything else?" Karasuma inquired, having a sneaking suspicion that there was more than he was letting on to.

Karma stayed silent, fists clenched at his sides as his bangs shadowed most of his face.

"Karma?" Koro-sensei inquired, face still as smiling as ever but worry evident in his voice.

You think this is funny?!

You think you can fly by on this behavior?!

YOU HAVE DISGRACED OUR FAMILY NAME!

"I-I'm sorry…"

DO NOT SPEAK BACK TO YOUR MOTHER YOU UNGRATEFUL LITTLE PEST!

"I'm sorry…"

YOU THINK THIS FAMILY IS A JOKE?! WE WORK HARD EVERY DAY TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A SUCCESSFUL LIFE AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY US?!

"I'm sorry."

WE DIDN'T HAVE TO BRING YOU INTO THIS WORLD! YOU SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR THE LIFE THAT WE'VE GIVEN YOU!

"I'M SORRY!"

"KARMA!"

Snapping out of his stupor, Karma then realized he had been violently shaking and swallowed thickly, leaning against the wall and trying to calm his heartbeat.

"Are you alright?" the soft voice of Nagisa echoed in his ears, and he realized the bluenette must have been watching him from the very beginning. Usually, it would be embarrassing but today he only felt one thing: fear; something he hadn't experienced in awhile.

Fear because of his parents, and fear of the fact that knowing someone could find out about his life at home.

So he answered quickly, "I'm fine." trying to make his voice as steady as possible.

Nagisa frowned, slowly advancing, "Karma, are you sure? You usually don't act like this…"

"I'm fine, Nagisa." the redhead ground out, collecting himself somewhat.

"Karma-"

"Just drop it Nagisa!"

The bluenette stopped momentarily before his gaze hardened, stepping forward confidently, "Karma, you're my best friend. I can tell when something's bothering you, so just tell me so you won't be hurting even more!"

"Dammit Nagisa it's none of your business!" and before Karma knew it, his fist was already flying towards the bluenette's face.

Thankfully, however, his arm was caught by Terasaka before he could actually hit the petite boy, "Dude what's your problem?! I get your pissed but you don't have to go and take it out on other people!"

Nagisa slowly backed away and Karasuma and Irina made sure he got a good distance from the angered teen. Seeing his friend's fearful face sparked something in Karma.

Satisfaction.

And bloodlust.

From what, exactly? He found himself questioning in his mind, mildly aware of the fact that some of the other students had filed out at the commotion.

Your goal. Your desire to hurt. Your yearning to inflict pain on those who cross your path, a sinister voice whispered in his ear.

Now give in.

The voice kept whispering to him, telling him to hurt his friends, even the teachers, to satisfy his need. His need for what, you ask?

Blood.

And for it to never stop.

But could he really do it? Could he hurt the people he had worked alongside for so long? Could he hurt his friends?

Yes,the voice hissed, louder this time, Yes, Karma, hurt them. Satisfy your bloodlust. Satisfy your need to hurt, to kill!

He gave in.

All hell broke loose.

The first thing Terasaka felt was a blow to the face, then the stomach. Stumbling off his feet, he watched with disbelief as Karma went completely ballistic, throwing punches and kicks like no tomorrow to the first victim he encountered: Maehara.

He swiftly dodged the first strike but was instantly hit in the shin with a sharp kick. Wincing, he evaded another deadly blow and leaving Karma to punch the wooden wall, leaving a large crack. Karma growled like an animal in frustration as Karasuma seized his arms in a full-nelson to try to stop him, and even still found trouble containing the boy.

The redhead bared his teeth in a snarl, lashing out and kicking and punching and doing just about everything else to try to get out of the hold. He kicked the larger man's shins, making him wince but not falter.

"Calm down Akabane!" he shouted, just barely keeping the boy from escaping and causing more havoc. Irina went in to try to help the situation but Karma growled fiercely at her, making her back off instantly in fear of getting attacked.

A powerful blow to the chest caused Karasuma to stumble, giving Karma the right opportunity to make his way out of the hold and in a pouncing position, ready to fight as he growled and bared his sharp canines.

"Calm down kid, we don't want to hurt you.." Irina tried to reason slowly as if talking to a scared kitten.

Karma growled and the assassin backed off, hands up in surrender.

'I've never seen Karma like this before,' Nagisa thought, racking his brain for any answers on his friend's predicament. 'Sure I've seen him pissed before, but his bloodlust is through the roof…'

Looking over at his classmates, he could also tell they could feel the dangerous amounts of bloodlust Karma was letting off. Some were visibly shuddering from the dangerous spike.

'His bloodlust will only be sated once he kills...but Karma's never killed anyone before!'

Kill your friend, only then will your pain dissolve.

Kill...it's a word Karma had said many times before, but never actually did. Sure, he had hurt people to the point where they had to go to a hospital, but never actually murdered somebody. But..the pain in his head, it was unbearable. His bloodlust was climbing higher and higher to the point where he was hurting as well. Maybe he should actually…

No.

He wasn't going to kill his friends.

He cared about them.

Struggling to dissipate his bloodlust, Karma gripped the floor as his fingers ground into the wood. He snarled as he tried to overcome the feeling to kill and feel the blood on his fingers, his face, in his mouth-

Don't resist, Karma. You want the pain to go away, don't you?

..yes.

Then kill.

Show them the monster you really are.

DON'T HOLD BACK.

KILL THEM.

Karma screamed.

Notes: This was supposed to be separated into two chapters, but then I realized how short it was and decided to combine them. (also if anyone's wondering about the cover, I originally made this only for Wattpad but then decided to post in on here as well lel)
