The hybrid assassin / ON HOLD /

~Chapter 2~

~Previously~ 

"Miss Jones you may go sit next to Karma." as sensei said this Karma had raised his hand to show Skara where she should sit. She had walked to her seat and sat down. "I'm not sure if you were notified or not, Miss Jones, but the main goal is to try to assassinate me, your dear teacher." 

~currently~

"Oh alright then, may I ask why?" Skara had questioned, as she nodded, but her face expressionless. The class looked back at her when she finished her sentence, that was when the male with bright red hair piped up.

"You don't know? Weren't you informed when you were sent to this class?" he had a face of amusement as he spoke, he had only received a simple sway of the head as Skara looked back at him. "Well, he kinda blew up the moon, oh... Or did you not know that either?" he spoke with a teasing manner.

His words made Skara raise a brow as she sighed "I'm not that stupid, course I knew that, but why a bunch of middle school kids?" she simply asked with a shrug of her shoulders. She had looked back to the front and pulled a small notebook out and started to doodle something down. 

Koro-sensei just stayed silent for a few seconds before regaining his train of thought and started the lesson. Skara had thought back to the meeting she had attended to get into the school, only the principle knew of her mother's death, he had bent the rules to allow her to work but that had affected getting into a different class as her grades were also down because she didn't have much time to study around that time of her life. Skara didn't mind, at least she got into the school. She then began to remember what her mother told her.

~~~Flashback~~~

"Skara dear!" her mother cooed as she walked into Skara's room, a huge smile plastered across her lips "How would you like to go to school?" she spoke in a soft tone whilst walking over and sitting on the single bed.

"Really?" Skara had sat up with a look of excitement "I would love to go!" she exclaimed gladly as she started to think of the few friends she may make and how amazing the experience may be. Though a few dark thoughts lingered at the back of her mind, pushing their way to the front which made Skara whimper at the thought of losing control of her hunger. "But ma... What if I lose control?... I don't want to hurt or scare anybody..." she had brought her gaze towards her lap with a sigh.

Skara's mother had simply moved so she was sitting next to her, pulling her into a gentle embrace. "Hey... That won't happen ok? just remember to eat in the mornings before school, if you feel stressed just doodle in your notepad, I know drawing calms you down... but if I'm being honest due to both of us craving a huge amount of food every couple of hours I can't be here and teach you... it'll also be a tad suspicious if you don't go as the CCG is starting to roam the area more. So it'll be rather helpful if you do go in..." her mother sighed whilst rubbing Skara's shoulder gently. "I was also thinking about paying the amount of money to get you into Kunugigaoka as its the best of the best. So you'll be in good hands there." she had smiled softly.

Skara had looked up at her mother, feeling a little better but still nervous, "Are you sure, ma?"  Skara questioned as she fiddled with her fingers slightly. she had received a simple nod from her mother.

"Of course, dear. I want you to have a great future after all!" she gave Skara a closed eye smile which calmed her down quite a bit. "Good, better, best. Never let it rest. 'Til your good is better and your better is best... Remember those words and think of them when your stressed, it helped me when I attended school." was all she had said before standing. "So you sure you want to do this?" her mother questioned as she rubbed Skara's head softly. 

Skara had a sweet smiled resting on her lips "yup! Thank you so much, ma!" 

~~~end of flashback~~~

Skara had almost broken down as she remembered the kind words her mother had spoken. She glanced up to see Koro-sensei writing on the chalkboard, she quickly wrote the notes she had missed and felt as if she was being watched, she looked around the class to spot Karma staring at her with a look of curiosity plastered on his face, she just ignored him and continued to write down what Koro-sensei was teaching. Skara had repeated the quote many times over and over trying to calm herself down, which worked quite nicely in her opinion, she doodled a little as she finished the work, soon enough time had sped by quite quickly and the bell had rung, next lesson was now in action. 

Skara had gotten up and packed away her things as she walked towards the girl's changing room for PE. She had changed at a fast pace, trying to ignore the looks she had received from the other girls, probably because of how skinny the girl was, her ribs were rather visible when she had removed her shirt, and there were plenty of scars littering her body from previous fights with other ghouls and CCG members. Once she finished changing she had left the changing rooms and walked to where the others had gathered. Skara noticed that Koro-sensei was watching from afar as Karasuma began to teach the lesson after handing her a... Rubber knife?... He explained that it could only harm Koro-sensei as she gripped it tightly and started to copy the same movement as everybody else, holding back her regular strength and speed to not make them question her. 

After 20 minutes of doing knife exercises she had been partnered up with the redhead known as Karma Akabane, she inspected him and his fighting stance, she just simply smirked and stood still, waiting for Karma to make the first move, which he did. Skara had swiftly dodged his attack and a few others before she grew bored of such foolishness. 

"If your gonna fight take it more seriously and try your best." she had puffed out her cheeks as she crossed her arms, giving Karma more of an advantage to strike at that very moment, and of course he had taken that chance, which made others look in their direction in shock. Though Skara had simply leant backwards, dodging the strike with a smirk, she had then kicked her leg out, tripping Karma up and ended up kicking the knife away. She simply shook her head and spoke, "If you can't even land an attack on a target who is 5'1 and a girl, I don't think you'll be able to take out Sensei." was all she said as she held a hand out for the redhead to take, which he did. 

"Who taught you how to dodge like that?" was all the male had asked with a tilt of his head.

"My mother..." Skara spoke whilst letting go of his hand and looking towards Koro-sensei, clearly intrigued. "Say... Does anybody know any of his weak points?" she questioned with a brow raised.

Nagisa had walked over with a simple nod, "I have a list of a few weaknesses. I can show you at lunch if you'd like?"  he spoke whilst rubbing the back of his neck with a smile placed on his lips. "My name is Nagisa Shiota by the way, It's nice to meet you Skara" he held his spare hand out for a handshake. Which she accepted with a smile.

"Its a pleasure. See ya at lunch." Skara simply spoke with a smile then walked over to where Koro-sensei was sitting, seating herself next to him with a lazy expression.
