- Nagisa's POV -

"Karma, everyone's staring at us!" My shaky voice started. He just continued to drag me to the group who already made it. In time, we came across the door and closed it again.

"See? That wasn't so bad," Karma smiled.

"I-I guess."

"C'mon! Quit your flirting or else well run outta time!" Yoshida called out to us, running also behind. We followed him until we saw the group, hovering behind a wall.

It took up some time, but Karma managed to take down one of the perpetrator's henchman. He was not very skilled in language, but his hands held brutal force. Eventually, Karma did beat him and tortured him with the spiciest method I've ever seen.

"That was just mortifying."

"Eh, he's not dead. So don't pout so much Nagisa," the sadistic devil chuckled. I'm really not sure if he changed since the exams or just got worse now.

It was farther than we imagined, but we heard an explosion coming from the roof.

"What was that?!" I screamed out. "Th-The medicine?"

"Well we need to find out for ourselves!" Along with the rest of the group, Karma ran to wherever the rooftop was. Hesitantly, I followed behind. I could hear the mastermind's voice screaming at what I assume to be Karasuma before I reached it.

I heard my name in their conversation, along with Kayano's. Apparently, she was supposed to be used for a hostage so Koro-sensei would melt instead of blowing her up in a bathtub filled with BB bullets they were gonna be put into.

"And that little brat Nagisa? Get him up here to fight! Or else you can kiss these spare vials goodbye Karasuma!" I recognized that voice from not just anywhere. Yeah, it was Takaoka's. I was hiding just behind the wall leading to the stairs, he definitely couldn't hear me.

"Nagisa isn't here, Takaoka," Karasuma tried reasoning with the insane sensei.

"BULLSHIT! That little brat is gonna come out here and die on the spot, or else the spare medicine goes out the fucking window!"

Oh god, everyone was on edge now. I'm pretty sure they didn't even know why I was missing from the gang. Goosebumps started to rise on my arms and legs as I heard murmuring students worrying about me.

Koro-sensei started to speak up, since unlike Yuji, Takaoka did know he exist. But isn't cool with it. "Mr. Takaoka, is there anything else you'd like. Please, spare these children's lives!" I could sense he was starting to turn his furious black.

The giggle belonging to Takaoka made fear run up and down my body.

"Yeah, you. You're an abomination that's gonna destroy the fucking planet! I'm gonna need my ten billion yen as well when I kill you. So are you willing to come to me, for just these few vials of medicine to save a handful of students?" Takaoka's plan, was gonna work. No way was Koro-sensei gonna let us die.

This is good news, the world doesn't end. A few students will be saved and, I won't feel so guilty. But, even with all that, why is everyone hesitating? But I know already.

We all didn't want our teacher to be murdered by this creep that's Takaoka.

"Fine then. Karasuma, throw me to him!" Koro-sensei commanded. I whipped my head to face the green-litted area, just to see our PE teacher Karasuma giving away Koro-sensei. What's worse, to Takaoka if anything.

"Karasuma! Why would you give him our teacher!" Chiba yelled, for what I've heard, for the fist time after joining Class 3-E.

"Are you really gonna give him the bounty as well!?" Isogai's voice questioned.

Takaoka's laughter covered that up, as his insanity was just overpowering. "Aw don't worry! The world's gonna be saved, just not your sickly classmates children! Daddy's got important business to kill, so get out!" Out of the corner of my eye, I gazed upon a knife that was aimed for my classmates.

Karasuma caught it in a haste grip though. "Medicine. Now."

In the end, we managed to actually get the medicine. Even if it was just four vials of it. Luckily, we were met face to face with some people we fought over. Like that tortured and not very skilled at language person, and that crazy one who was a fanatic for tasting guns. Turns out our classmates were gonna be safe. But, Koro-sensei sure wasn't.

"Nagisa," my name snapped me out of my thoughts. It was Isogai that I ended up looking up to for an answer.

"Yeah?"

"Where were you? When, Koro-sensei was.... where were you?" His eyes showed sadness as they dropped slightly while we walked back outside. Everyone else was following behind or ahead of us.

I held my own hand selfishly. "Sorry, I couldnt even come out in front of Takaoka."

"So you thought everything would've been fine if you just hid?" My heart shattered at his assumptions. He wasn't pointing fingers, but it felt like it.

"N-No, that's not it."

"Then what was it, Nagisa? Don't leave me to think for myself here."

I looked straight ahead, not wanting to talk anymore. "He's fricking Takaoka. I was scared senseless when I fought him back then. You saw him knee Maehara, he's not someone you can just talk it out wi-"

"Please don't talk about Maehara. I don't want to hear you talk about him right now," he started sounding like he was raged. I didn't even know Isogai could sound so intimidating.

Out of habit, I pulled out my hairties and let my hair hang over my face like a sheet. "S-Sorry." My hand slipped the black hairtie onto my wrist, causing a red mark to stretch around it. "Do you think, Kayano will be alright?"

The taller boy sighed and clenched his fists. "I, I don't know Nagisa. Just go defend for her and help her this time."

"Th-This time? What's that suppose to mean Isogai?" I was surprised when he started walking faster, like he was avoiding me? Nevertheless, I followed directly behind him.

"Don't act clueless, Nagisa. You know you could've helped the girls back there by going with them," he started tearing up before wiping the droplets away.

"I-Isogai, I thought you said it was okay for me to not crossdress though. I, wasn't comfortable with it," my bangs covered up my wet eyes that were doing their job.

He unhinged his fists, revealing the red marks he made on his own hand. "I'm pretty damn sure Koro-sensei didn't want to die, and yet, he.... he still did. You have absolutely no right to talk right now."

'Shit, Isogai's getting really angry.'

"But I-!"

"JUST SHUT UP NAGISA!!" He spun around to face me, a bit of his salty tears getting on me. Everyone stopped walking and faced us, a worried or confused expression on their face. "I.... I just, can you just shut up please?" He put a hand on my shoulder, but wasn't very sympathetic.

"Who needs to shut up?" Kimura asked, taking a step forwards towards me and Isogai.

The taller boy in front of me put a hand to his eyes, shortening the length of the tears falling down his now pinkish face. "It's nothing."

Kimura gave me a glare, but I already know why at this point.

They hate me. Isogai, Kimura, probably everyone else does too.

I wouldn't blame them though. I let Kayano be taken away by some pervert's bodyguards to be taken to court. And, if I wouldn't have hid back there.

Koro-sensei would've survived.

Crap, I really messed up now. Can I even make up for it?

Geez this took a while. Sorry about that. But it was actually South Park that got me into writing this particular chapter. XD. I know, weird. So there might be some things inspired by the show, the serious topics though. I'll just have to do some digging. Bye-Bye!
