Soul Heart (Assassination Classroom Fanfiction)

Karma Bites

The whole fucking class was doing drills. Well most of them anyhow. Tomori was sitting on the hill lazily twisting her knife around. Of course she was forced into the same gym clothes that every one of the other students wore, she just refused to participate.

It had been like that ever since the class could remember. Tomori always sat out on physical education, part of the reason that she was dropped to E-Class. Well, among other things that occurred during her first two years.

Her dull eyes glanced around as her classmates swiped at open air. "Make those moves seen, make every move like a legit kill strike." Karasuma ordered coldly gazing across the class. Tomori let out a yawn of boredom, staring at the man. She didn't see why so many of her classmates were enamored by him.

Quickly tuning out the rest of the drill, Tomori quickly laid back and closed her eyes. Her back softly crushed the strands of grass underneath her. Music pounded in her ears as she waited. For what she didn't know.

She only knew that the damn ticking got louder. It was starting to grate on her nerves at this point. This 'assassination classroom' wasn't doing her any favors.

A brush of air came towards her and Tomori's eyes snapped wide open. She twisted her body quickly before using her hands to press off the floor, her left foot aiming to slam into the ribcage of the one disturbing her.

"Tomori." The stupid octopus remarked as his tentacle was wrapped around her foot. The squishy appendage not hurt in any way.

"Octopus." She said back evenly before her eyes fixed into a harsh glare. "Let. Go. Of. My. Foot." She demanded.

The octopus jolted straight up in what appeared to be terror as he immediately dropped her foot. "Why do you have to be so cruel to me?" He wept, seemingly inconsolable. "Would it kill you to call me Korosensi like the other students?"

"Why did you wake me up you damn octopus." Tomori got straight to the point. The octopus straighted his posture and seemed to even look down at her.

He cleared his throat before speaking. "You should be training with the others." His face lit up with neon green stripes. "You DO only have until graduation to kill me."

Tomori merely shrugged. "The world was bound to end at some point why not just have it a bit sooner."

"T-tomori?" He questioned his beady eyes widening his stripes fading away. Tomori almost wanted to laugh if she even had the effort to do so.

Tomori swept her hair off her face as she evenly stared down the octopus. "There is only a handful people on this planet that I would care about dying. The rest can just go burn in hell." She spat. "Humans bring nothing but pain and destruction.

His gaze hardened into an expression that Tomori didn't recognize for a couple weeks of being in the class. "So who would live besides you." For the most part, like Tomori, he was unreadable.

Tomori arched an eyebrow at him. "Bold of you to assume I included myself in that statement." She rolled her eyes. "I for one can't wait to die. Peace at last, nothing to worry about." Her blue eyes steadily watched as Isogai and Maehara stepped up to face Karasuma. "Yes, octopus don't you think death would be welcoming." She tilted her head a bit to the side.

"You don't want to live." His tone decreased, it might've actually been in concern. It was a statement but Tomori took it like a question.

She merely shrugged before responding, "Eh- I just don't give a fuck."

Her teacher's tentacles started wiggling. "Language Ms. Otosaka. Now I have an idea, why don't you go down there and fight. Show them what you've got, aye?"

Tomori flashed an unimpressed look at him. "I don't like the spotlight." She moved to turn her earbuds back up in volume but the teacher's mouth started moving again. "Also, physical education isn't my thing. I've never done a lesson of this if you haven't noticed."

A switch seemed to flip inside her teacher as he grinned a little bit wider than usual. "Then how about a deal."

This peeked Tomori's interest as she lifted her head towards them. "What kind of deal?"

...

So that's how Tomori ended up in front of Karasuma. "I don't suppose I could give this a whirl." she said nonchalantly. Her white hair blowing in the light wind, her eyes expressed none of her intent.

Karasuma was silent for a moment, calculating what she could do. He shrugged before widening his stance. Tomori hadn't been one to interact with Karasuma before, so he wasn't exactly sure why the girl wanted to spare with him.

Tomori tapped her sneakers against the ground, as if testing it. "So if you're hit you're dead correct?" She asked, her head cocked slightly to the right.

"That is correct." He stated, not once being distracted. "Just like how it would be in reality, one strike to a vital area would kill someone, no matter how strong."

"Kill huh." She muttered. "What an ugly word people created."

Tomori's fingers twitched behind her back. Morphing into the shape of a gun before splitting apart. "Perfect. That's all I need." A moment of silence settled across the terrain before a feral grin settled across Tomori's face as she ran towards the teacher.

Karasuma stood motionless until Tomori was within arm's length. He quickly made a move to grab her left leg, but Tomori just rolled to the side attempting to stab him in the leg. The man merely sidestepped, leveling a bored look with Tomori.

Tomori moved her head left and right, stretching it out. "Not bad, not bad." Her classmates made noises of disbelief behind her. Almost like they couldn't believe what she was doing. "KS, you are going to lose. The bet I made with the octopus ensures that."

Karasuma straightened his posture being corrected. "What bet." He scowled.

Tomori shrugged, looking a little bit beyond Karasuma. A glint of something appearing in the tree line for her vision only. "Nothing you need to know KS, except..." Her voice trailed off.

After pausing for a second Tomori snapped her fingers. "Checkmate." Two bullets fired, hitting the back of Karasuma's torso. Whipping around, the man saw Rinka and Chiba perched on a tree branch.

Rinka softly blew the smoke coming out of the gun, and Chiba waved a little bit as his bangs swayed in the breeze.

"That's cheating." Terasaka accused Tomori as the girl started walking towards Rinka and Chiba. "You had outside help."

Pausing in her movement she lifted an eyebrow at Terasaka's statement. "I said nothing about fighting Karasuma by myself. Rinka and Chiba deserve the kill, I just told them what to do."

The statement immediately raised many complaints. "What do you mean?! You didn't speak at all." Kimura protested.

Kataoka spoke up quickly, "She did though." Her gaze rounded on Tomori's electric blue orbs. "When you were first talking to Mr. Karasuma." A nod from the white haired girl confirmed her suspicions. "Tomori, made a gun sign with her fingers." Kataoka explained to the rest of the class. "I didn't think anything of it, but she was actually communicating to Hayami and Chiba."

Nodding once more, Tomori picked her way over to Rinka and Chiba. "The three of us can ditch today and tomorrow. Octopus and I made a bet- they lost."

Rinka let out a startled laugh. "I'll just stay here I don't have a ride until after school." Chiba nodded his head in agreement.

Tomori shrugged a little bit. "I'll see you guys in a couple days then." She said waving before disappearing into the woods.

She knew nothing of the red haired devil that would appear. And that's how it went.
