Isogai and Kataoka walked through the caves, taking part in Korosensei's test of courage.

"Keep your eyes peeled, he could be anywhere." Said Isogai.

As they turned a corner They saw a crate with a single blindfold lying on top of it.

"Hm?"

They then heard Korosensei's voice.

"Many years ago a blind woman was led to her death by her husband in this very cave, now one of you must lead the other to salvation in their stead."

"Freaky..." Muttered Isogai.

"So one of us has to lead the other through the cave blindfolded I suppose." Said Kataoka.

The girl stepped forward and put on the blindfold.

"I'll wear the blindfold, does that work with you?"

"Uh sure..."

"Great, now lets move on."

Kataoka then proceded to walk face first into a wall.

"Ow..."

"Maybe I should guide you..."

"Good idea..."


Isogai led Kataoka through the cave, keeping a tight grip onto her hand.

"Isogai are we on the right track?"

"We should be." Said Isogai. "This path doesn't really branch out."

"Oh it doesn't?" Asked Kataoka. "I can't tell with the blindfold."

"Hopefully it won't be much longer." Said Isogai. "Also watch your step, the footing here is uneven."

"How would I watch my step? I'm blindfolded."

"Just stay close." Said Isogai. "The last thing you'd want is to tr-"

Isogai was interupted by a loud scream.

"Wh-What was that?" Asked Kataoka nervously.

"Sounded like someone screaming." Said Isogai. "Not surprising since this is a test of courage. It might just be one of the others."

"R-Right..."

Isogai continued to lead Kataoka down the tunnel.

"I think I see a light up ahead." Said Isogai. "We might just be at the end."

"Great, then I can take off this-"

"NNNNNYYYYYYAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!"

A screaming blur of yellow flew past them at extreme speeds and knocked the two youths off balance. Kataoka fell and Isogai attempted to catch her, only to fall himself. Isogai landed on the ground first, with Kataoka landing on top of him.

"Are you alright?" Asked Isogai.

"I'm not hurt." Said Kataoka. "Did we fall?"

"Yes we fell, you're actually on top of me... And your knee is in my gut..."

"Oh sorry!"

Kataoka moved her knee and blushed.

"What knocked us down?" Asked Kataoka.

"I think it was Korosensei."

"W-Which way did he go?"

"I'll lead you th-"

"No, I got this." Kataoka Interrupted .

She took off her blindfold and tossed it to the side, easily getting back to her feet.

"Now lets give that octopus a piece of our minds."

Kataoka took Isogai's hand, helping him to his feet and led him towards the end of the tunnel.


Once they exited the tunnel, the two immediately found Korosensei sitting by a rock shaking.

"Too spooky for me... Too spooky for me."

"Korosensei!" Said Kataoka.

Korosensi looked up at the two.

"What was the big idea of that test?!" Asked Kataoka. "Were you trying to pair us all up!? Also this blindfold challenge is super unsafe, what if I fell and got REALLY hurt because of it!? A-Are you even listening to me!?"

Korosensei simply stared at the two with his pink face.

"Looks like my test of courage was a success."

"What are you-"

Isogai and Kataoka realized that they were still holding hands.

"Eh?"

"Kataoka?"

The pair turned around to see Kimura and Yada standing behind them, looking at their intertwined hands.

"I didn't realize you two were like that." Said Kimura.

"Kataoka..." Muttered Yada.

The two class reps blushed as more of their classmates arrived.

"Are those two holding hands?"

"Don't tell me Korosensei's plan got results..."

"Way to go Isogai!"

"ITS NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL!" Shouted Kataoka.

Isogai looked away, hiding a small smile. Because regardless of who was leading, he was happy as long as they were connected.


I'm back with a brand new collection, one that I've been chipping away at for several months. I was torn between this and the final Class Files story for my next piece, but I found that this collection had more potential. Also I felt theres been a big Isomegu drought lately so I thought I'd fix that.

I hope you enjoyed this story, because theres nine more to go.
