The Princess and The Devil - Karma Akabane x OC

N I N E T E E N : TRUST

Normal POV

As soon as the train door slides open, Hime jumps out from the train and runs towards the exit. She taps her card against the machine and jumps over it. She knows how reckless and careless she's being but she's currently late.

I can't believe that smug faced bastard left without telling me. What's more, he took my phone with him! And the worst of it all? He didn't leave anything to wake me up on time. And did he think leaving the porridge on the table for me is going to make all of this up? Think again.

Hime growls quietly. She doesn't even know what time it is now. What's important is she shows up at school or Gakushuu will know something is up. Although she's positive that he already does. As soon as she gets to school, the school gate is obviously closed. She groans and climbs over the gate. Once she got to the other side, she runs towards the nearest rest room and drops her bag on the floor.

She flinches a little when she sees herself. She combs her dishevelled hair with her fingers and ties a red ribbon to make it look like a headband. She properly tucks her white dress shirt under her skirt. She then washes her face to look refreshed. She then crouches down to her bag and digs around for her perfume. She sprays it on her clothes and wears her blazer.

Giving a last look in the mirror, she walks out with her bag. She is spacing out the whole journey to the classroom that she doesn't even realise that she's standing outside her classroom door. When she finally snaps out of it, she knocks on the door thrice before opening the door. She bows and mutters an apology for being late.

"I don't know what else to do with you, Sakuragi-san. Your behaviour is deteriorating. You used to be a wonderful student with a promising future but now you're no different than the failures in the End Class."

She bites her tongue and quietly makes her way to her seat. She can feel everyone's eyes on her and the teacher sighs in frustration. Not even a moment that Hime allows herself to look up and see the teacher's face.

"I would like to have a talk with you later on, Sakuragi-san." Hime furrows her eyebrows and her head shoots up immediately. When Hime's intense steel blue ones meet her teacher's purple ones, her teacher couldn't help but gulp. Hime's emotions reflect like clear glass on her eyes.

Betrayal

Sadness

Hatred

Hime was about to open her mouth to say something to the purple eyed teacher when the door opens to reveal the school's secretary.

"Excuse me, Taka-sensei but Headmaster Asano would like to have a word with Sakuragi-san."

Hime immediately stands up and looks at Gakushuu who has been so focused on his task. She couldn't help but scoff lightly. She walks towards the door and stops to look at her teacher from her shoulder.

"I agree, Taka-sensei. We should have a talk."

***

As soon as Hime got to the principal's office, she knocks thrice before getting a reply from the other side of the door. She twists the doorknob and pushes the door. When she gets inside Gakuhou's office, she closes the door and couldn't help but to feel suffocated at the intense aura Gakuhou is giving.

Hime nervously bites her lip as she watches his mauve eyes glisten in the lack of light like it's luminous. He wraps his fingers together as he props his elbows on his desk and a sickening smile is plastered on his face. She keeps walking towards him until she reaches his table that separates them both.

"Sakuragi-san, I know what you're trying to do and it's not working. You do realise that there are other students that are dying to get to where you are right now, right?" As scared to death as she is, she couldn't help but scoff at him.

Does he even realise when he first said that to me?

"Principal Asano, those were the exact words you said to me when you moved me to 3E."

Gakuhou chuckles in delight but the intensity in his eyes didn't waver for one bit. He, however begins to lean against his chair. "And I remember how you, with open mind and heart accepts the fact that you have to move to 3E after pleading on your knees to let you stay."

Hime smiles as she tries to block the unwanted memory out. She swore to Karma that she wouldn't kneel down to anyone for anything once and yet, she couldn't keep the promise. "I didn't regret it at all, Principal. In fact I would like to thank you for moving me to class 3E. I learn more from a monster that's trying to blow up the world than a human could ever offer." She loses her smile when memories of Koro-sensei floods her mind. "I have given you a lot of reason why you should throw her away to class E again and I'm just wondering when can you actually do it."

Gakuhou's smile is immediately wiped away and stands up.

Oops I think I just touched a nerve there. Hime thought and immediately bows. "With all the respect, Asano-san, I choose to believe my friends and I no longer have any interest to prolong the agreement."

Hime quickly mutters an apology and a thank you before exiting the office. As soon as she leaves, Gakuhou clenches his fist and smiles. Asano-kun couldn't even get a simple job done. A dog leash around my neck? Laughable. Asano has a vein throbbing on his forehead as calls the mafia and requests for the leader and the vice to come visit him at his office while keeping a laid back voice and a relaxed face.

As soon as his secretary knocks on his door to inform him about 2 scary looking guys, Gakuhou smiles and pats on her shoulder. He told her to get the rest of the day off and tells her how much of a good job she's doing and how much he appreciates them. The secretary smiles and thanks the handsome principal before gathering her stuff to begin her day off.

As soon as she leaves, he invites the leader and his vice in his office. The situation immediately becomes cold and evil. A shiver runs down both the leaders' spine as Gakuhou starts his brainwash with a simple command.

Destroy 3E

...And all hell broke loose.
