Was inspired because of the video^^

"How... How did you manage to trap Akabane?"

"Isn't that the top fighter in the school?"

"Asano, he'll kill us if he isn't restrained properly."

Karma POV

I awake to a loud thump. Maybe a door closing? Wait... this is not my bed. This isn't even my house. I try sitting up. That was a bad idea, as I am flung back towards the ground immediately. It's cold. It's hard. It's painful. I cough at the binding around my neck. I'm tied? My wrists are held back too. I'll just take a guess and say my feet are chained down as well. So I'm stuck to the floor somewhere dark. It's not like this is the start of a horror movie or anything.

"Sleeping beauty~ Are you awake?" The voice sends a ringing through my head. It must've come from the door I just heard. The lights flick on.

"You?" The third year from nearby school looms by the switch. We met this guy on a school trip! He's behind this? How did he manage to get the drop on me?!

"Surprised to see me?" He walks painfully slow, stopping once he is within a satisfying but cautious distance.

"Why am I here?" I let my head fall back to the ground. He's still scared of me, which is a plus, but it also means he won't get close enough for me to kill him.

"You made my life hell, Akabane. I'm planning to make yours the same. And don't waste your breath, nobody can hear you through these walls."

"So I'm going to starve to death down here?" I look to figure out what my bindings actually are... Thick rope. Practically uncuttable. Perfect. "Seems a little slow for your standards." What else are you planning?

"Of course it is. You're a fundraiser. I know kids who would pay good money to see the Akabane Karma helpless."

"I'm not helpless." Never was. Never will be.

"Of course you aren't. You could easily escape, couldn't you? Big strong Akabane, rendered helpless Yes by a couple of ropes. How sad." He grabs my face, squishing it in an annoying manor.

"So what? You're going to leave me here to drive me mad?" This should be fun.

"No. I'm going to let some hefty donations possibly sway us into letting them get to torture you for themselves."

The class stands back, smiling and high-fiving over the unconscious bodies. They all came for me? Why did it have to be that many? Couldn't it just have been Korosensei or Nagisa? They all had to come to save me.

"Karma? You okay?" Nagisa stands at my feet, flipping out a knife, attempting to saw at the ropes. I can't even answer him. Those ropes held me so easily. I couldn't break them. I couldn't do it myself. I would have died here. "Hey... look at me. You need to answer me. What did they do to you?"

"Nothing I shouldn't have been able to stop alone." One rope snaps, my leg hang free.

"What did they do to you? We'll make it better. I'll fix it for you."

"Nothing." My other leg is untied.

"I know it wasn't nothing. You're bleeding." He saws at the rope on my hand by climbing on top of some boxes.
