Sanctuary (Karma Akabane x OC)

Katsuna's Attempt

"Damn this a sticky job," the black haired boy complained, "Pass me another one Nagisa."

It was lunch break in Class 3-E at Kunugigaoka Junior High School and the students were busy coming up with assassination attempts in order to kill a certain yellow octopus.

Kaede peered over his shoulder, the curiosity getting to her, "Sugino, what's that?".

"It's a baseball covered in anti-sensei bbs," Sugino replied proudly, "I came up with the idea last night whilst reading about famous baseball techniques, I'm surprised I didn't come up with the idea sooner, it's pretty much the only thing I have going for myself."

"I was going to throw a fastball at Koro-sensei," he continued, hard at work on his masterpiece, "Nagisa already filled me in on the details that around this time he's in the forest reading the newspaper."

"He won't even know what hit him!"

Curious herself, Katsuna listened in on the conversation from her desk. She had been trying to gather as many ideas as she could to formulate her own assassination attempt.

"It's done!" Sugino cheered, throwing the baseball up into the air before catching it in one hand, "Let's go then Nagisa, class will start soon."

Nagisa nodded and followed Sugino out the classroom to hunt Koro-sensei down. Katsuna thought about joining the two, but she had another task to take care of. She stood up from her chair and traipsed down to the teachers' lounge where, as she expected, Karasuma was typing on his computer.

"Excuse me, Karasuma-sensei," Katsuna addressed the man before her, knocking lightly on the door, "can I borrow you at lunchtime?"

Back in class, Koro-sensei began rambling about different terms used in the English language. Katsuna took this as a chance to send a pass note to Sugino, who she had noticed seemed extremely dejected. Even if she was to end up sabotaging her classmates grades, she still felt the need to help where she could.

It turns out that his assassination attempt earlier had failed miserably, with Koro Sensei even having time to take a trip down to the storage shed and grab a baseball glove, just so he could catch the ball as it was in mid-flight. Sugino blamed it on himself for having such a slow fastball, but Katsuna replied with "The octopus travels at mach 20, there's no human alive that can do anything to even challenge that speed, but I did love your idea, it was so creative and gave me a bunch of ideas!"

Sugino smiled weakly at the girl a couple of seats behind him, mouthing a quiet "thank you."

Katsuna returned his smile with a goofy thumbs up which caused Sugino to let out a small chuckle. The two then returned their focus back onto the teacher just as he was finishing up the lesson.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I have some important off-campus business to attend to," Koro-sensei spoke, opening the side door of the classroom.

"Tofu from China?" the class rep questioned.

"Not this time Isogai," he replied, "I'm catching a ball game in the big apple, SEE YA-"

The gust of wind hit the classroom as he launched himself into the air, barely finishing his sentence.

"That move of his is starting to really piss me off," Terasaka grumbled.

"Talk about unfair though, we're stuck here whilst he gets to travel the world," the orange haired girl chirped.

"I feel ya, he could bring back a souvenir once in a while but no," Rio chided, "Anyway, do you wanna have lunch together Katsuna?"

"Sorry Rio," she apologised, "I already have plans, I'll catch you later though."
