| Gone |

When you loose somebody close to you how do you normally feel? Because at this point I don't even know.

Koro-Sensei was a great teacher, and all of us loved him dearly so, so much. I did to. It's just that,

I can't get over the fact that he's actually gone.

He did nothing wrong, didn't deserve to die, and yet we all killed him with our own hands. But at the same time what were we supposed to do? If we didn't kill him he would of died anyways, and along with that the earth would of been blown to space dust.

And I keep trying to convince myself that it wasn't our fault that he was now dead. We had nothing to do with it.

But deep down inside me I felt the guilt wash over me. And soon enough I was sure it was going to eat me alive. I mean, his assassination was only three months ago.

"Okuda!" Nakumura yelled, shaking the said girl.

"A-Ah what? S-Sorry I wasn't paying attention" Okuda stuttered.

"Jeez girl we thought we lost you." The blonde said and sighed.

"Honestly. Hey did you hear? We're going to meet up with the others out in the court yard! And after that we'll see what classes were in!" Fuwa grinned, looking over at both the brunette and Nakamura.

'That's right..' Okuda thought.

Fuwa, Nakamura And Okuda had all planned to go to the same Highschool after junior high, but none of them had really kept in contact with their other classmates aside from Nakamura. She was able to find out who and who weren't attending their school. And honestly, Okuda wasn't surprised by how much info she got just through texts.

Supposedly Chibba, Hayami, Sugino, Isogai, Maehara, And Karma we're attending their school.

Karma.

Okuda remembered that name perfectly.

"A-Alright then I guess we should head their before everyone else beats us to it." Manami muttered softly.

Fuwa and Nakamura both nodded at the girl. She was so quiet. And had gotten even more quiet after last year. And to tell the truth her friends worried for her. A lot.

The three girls all walked down the empty hallways to the court yard. Oak wooden doors were left open and closed on the first floor. The brick walls were painted a smooth white and the floor tiles were an eerie grey. It was a pretty plain school.

They eventually got to the court yard were they had to look around for several minutes to try and find the other former assassins since the place was so packed. This is were they held the student classes. A giant bulletin board was in the center of the court yard showing students what classes they were in.

But that wasn't their priority at the moment.

"Why does there have to be so many people? How long does it take to look at a sheet of paper and leave?" Nakamura complained.

Fuwa sighed and rolled her eyes before standing on her tip toes to try and see over the crowds.

Manami copied Fuwa as well but she was much to small that not even her tip toes would help her out. She groaned and started to jump a bit every now and then to try and catch a glimpse.

"It's no use. Where the heck are they!" Fuwa yelled.

Okuda was just about to comment on the situation as well until she felt hands on her shoulders. She flinched the tiniest bit before letting out an "Epp!" and almost jumping five feet in the air.

"No need to be scared Okuda, it's just me." A voice laughed from behind her.

She recognized that voice. I mean, it was one that no one could easily forget.

She quickly turned around to see a tall redheaded boy looking down at the tiny chemist grinning.

"Hey." He said simply.

"K-K-Karma!? Aren't you supposed to be with the others?" Okuda question, a bit confused.

"Awww, you haven't seen me a three months and you don't even give me a hug or ask how I'm doing? What a shame..." Karma faked a pout to make his statement sound believable but he couldn't help but keep grinning.

Well, he wasn't exactly lying about his sentence.

"I-I'm Sorry! I was just confused on why you were here? H-How was your summer?" Manami asked, looking away from the tall boy a bit embarrassed.

"It was great, thanks for asking." He replied.

Nakamura looked away from the big crowds of students only now noticing that the readhead and chemist were talking. She walked over to Fuwa and nudged her shoulder, gesturing towards Karma and Okuda.

"They would be cute together right?!" Nakamuda whispered.

"Already back at it again with ships?"

"Someone has to take Koro-Sensei's job!"
