Classroom of the Dead Assassins (What I Thought It Was Series)

Chapter 3

Karma looked up after stumbling to see himself surrounded. Nagisa, although awake, couldn't stand and it looked like even keeping his eyes open was difficult for him.

It now became obvious to him that the food they had eaten was drugged. He could feel how he was slowing down. He couldn't even think clearly anymore.

Normally this situation would be easy, Karma would distract them, letting Nagisa slip away to sneak attack. Clearly that wasn't possible now, Karma was struggling to stand and Nagisa was barely conscious.

Two of the masked men grabbed Karma by the arms and pulled him back harshly, another snatched the now unconscious Nagisa from his arms.

Karma tried to reach for his boyfriend, but he was feeling extremely heavy and the two men pulled his arms behind his back, pulling him away as he slowly started to get heavier and more tired as he tried to struggle against them.

He didn't last long before the darkness shrouding the sides of his view consumed his sight. He felt his body go limp, before he was dragged away.

Cold... His cheek is cold... And laying on something hard...

Nagisa raised his throbbing head, disoriented and confused. He saw that he wasn't on the mountain side anymore. As soon as he realised that, he bolted upright, looking around for Karma... But the red head wasn't there.

He started to feel the panic set in, he needs Karma, he can barely cope without the calm, soothing taller boy to protect him as he had done their whole lives. Especially not while locked in a cage where he didn't know, he could only do this if he knew the two of them were in control for a mission.

The red head wasn't there, but there was another boy laying on the floor, who seemed to be coming to. He had orange hair that lazily framed his face as it lay at odd angles on the floor.

Nagisa sat on the floor, curled into a ball, rocking back and forth as he trembled, eyes wide in fear. Karma had better get here soon.

The other boy raised his head, looking around. When his eyes lay on Nagisa, on the brink of a panic attack, he crawled (it seemed standing hurt his head) over to the smaller boy.

He raised his hand to lay it on Nagisa's back, but he flinched away, moving as far away from the other as possible. He knew it was unlikely that the other one wanted to hurt him, but Karma was the only one who could touch him when he's like this. Anyone else and he would be reminded of their abusers as kids.

"Keep it together!" The other one snarled, clearly not happy with Nagisa refusing his help. Rolling his eyes as Nagisa was unable to do as he was told.

Nagisa tried to slow his breathing, like how Karma taught him, but all he managed was to make himself light headed.

Taking advantage of Nagisa's closed eyes, the other boy walked towards him, swiftly hitting a pressure point in the back of Nagisa's neck. The smaller's eyes shot open, before he slumped to the ground, once again unconscious.

Karma jumped up the moment he became aware of his surroundings again, ready to fight back, trying to ignore the pounding in his head... Only to find the masked people weren't there.

Taking a moment to realise this, clearly not thinking clearly yet, he realised what it was that was missing... Nagisa!

He desperately looked around the room he was in for the smaller boy who needed him more than he tried to let on. But the brightly natured and cute boy was nowhere to be seen.

There was, however, a girl sitting in the corner looking a mix of shy and flirtatious. She was small, large glasses covering most of her face portraying a stereotypical nerd, her hair in 2 braids making her look like a child.

It was obvious that she was trying to look like a cute little sister, and around Karma she seemed to be trying to adopt Nagisa's characteristics, but her own lust showed through.

"What are you looking for Karma-samma?" She asked, clearly trying to draw attention to herself and making her voice as high pitched as possible. "It couldn't be... Me, could it?"

Karma looked down his nose at her in disgust. "What makes you think you have the right to address me by my given name? It's Akabane to you." Karma snarled at her, clearly not playing along with her little game.

"Don't be like that, onii-samma!" She said, playing up on the devoted little sister role she was trying to pull.

"How about instead of playing pretend that I care about you, you could look around for a way to get out." Karma said, carefully avoiding her as he walked around the cage, examining it.

She immediately burst into loud, fake tears in a desperate attempt to get his attention. Karma just rolled his eyes.

"Why are you so mean senpai? You're always nice to that other girl." She whined.

"What other girl?" Karma asked, frozen with his back to the girl, anger starting to simmer inside him, readying for boiling over.

"Th-the blue haired girl you had on your lap." The girl said, before letting out a squeak as suddenly an enraged Karma was towering over her, if looks could kill she would be long gone, but she could have sworn that the plastic in her fake glasses had melted.

"He is a BOY!!!  And if you ever make that mistake again... You will regret it." Karma said, his voice scorching with anger and hate. The girl backed into the wall.

"Then that makes less sense... Why would you want to be that nice to a boy," Karma could have sworn he heard her mutter "all be it a fake boy," making his reaction worse. "When you could be with a real girl."

Karma slapped her across the face, hard. There was a loud echo of the slap reverberating around the cage.

"How dare you!? You are nothing compared to the strength of Nagisa. He is the best person I know." Karma said, his voice like knives. "And, for your information, I don't give a damn about girls."

Now fuelled by the rage he felt at this unknown girl with him, Karma bust his way out of the cage, throwing the broken pieces hard at the girl, hoping they would make her bleed, before he went running to find Nagisa
