Assassins at Ouran Academy

Chapter 6

The Target had supposedly been assassinated. Nagisa thought he had killed he CEO of the Koureki group. He thought. 

Turns out that had been a double. The Target found out about the assassination plot. Nagisa was horrified. He had just killed an innocent person. He had broken his promise to Koro-Sensei about using his powers for the good of the world. He had killed a man that, as far as Nagisa knew, had done nothing wrong. 

They returned to school two days after the attempt with a despairing Nagisa and a Karma trying to comfort him. Haruhi had been worried about the look in the blue-haired boy's eyes. She walked over to Karma and Nagisa. 

"Hello. How was your morning?" She asked looking at Nagisa, then at the red-haired boy. 

"Not so great. Nagisa is distressed because he goofed up at his job last night. It really is no big deal. At least you didn't get fired right?" Karma said, trying to be careful, but caring at the same time. It didn't seem to help that much, though. 

"You don't understand, Karma. This is big. Not just a goof-up. I wasn't paying close enough attention. My job is to be precise and quiet. I only did half of those things." Nagisa said, looking down at his shoes. 

"It can't be that bad. Just ask for a second chance. I'm sure your manger will be willing to give it to you." Haruhi suggested. Nagisa looked up at her. 

She didn't understand what his job was. He had the burden of killing and innocent man in the place of the actual Target. She had no idea what that kind of mental stress can do to a kindhearted assassin like Nagisa. 

Haruhi could never understand what was going through his head. She would never know the things they had to deal with. Their job was demanding, and Nagisa couldn't supply on the night of the murder of that innocent man. 

"You wouldn't understand." He mumbled shortly.

Nagisa didn't participate in the club activities that day. He had gotten a note from Mr. Karasuma so that he could skip out on club activities for the time he was brooding over his mistake. In the meantime, Karma had a good queue of girls waiting to talk with him. Maehara had done equally well, and Sugino was having a good time with the baseball club. Sugino also learned of the failed assassination from the Target's son, who was talking about it worriedly to his fellow teammates. Luckiy, Sugino was a good actor and pulled off the part of a worried friend quite well. 

The boys had gotten their facade up, now all they had to do was get the mission completed and send in a new report to Mr. Karasuma back at the Ministry of Defense.
