Sanctuary (Karma Akabane x OC)

The Principal's Visit

The class began to chuckle at their teacher's antics, surprising the other students.

Katsuna smiled to herself, glancing down at the paper in her hands.

Maybe there is hope.

~~~~~~

The assembly ended in high spirits for Class 3-E for the first time ever. The student body was piling out the main building, chattering to each other about upcoming events and answers to questions.

"Did you see the looks on their faces when Professor Bitch waltz in?" Maehara laughed, wiping the tears from his eyes as he stepped outside.

"If they only knew what she actually was like," Fuwa giggled, as did the rest of the class.

Katsuna looked up, noticing a peculiar boy standing by the wall, his intense stare calling her over before he walked behind the corner, out of sight.

"I'll catch you guys up," Katsuna hollered, waving as the rest of class E began their trek back up the mountain.

She turned, retracing the movements of the boy's steps. Upon turning the corner, she stopped in her tracks as the boy leaned up against the wall, crossing his arms in the process.

He peered down at the girl in front of him and huffed in annoyance.

"Took you long enough."

"As if you didn't have time to spare," she retorted, watching as Asano's scowl deepened, "Look, I only came here to tell you that I was sorry for how I left things back outside the principal's office."

~~~~~~

"What happened?" he questioned; his eyes clouded with curiosity.

"Let go Asano," Katsuna whispered, too exhausted to explain her situation.

"Not before you tell me what's going on," Asano pushed, "What did he say?"

"I said let go!" Katsuna shouted, pulling away from Asano in a hast.

She watched as Asano's eyes widened, taken back up her raised voice. Katsuna took this opportunity to run away from the boy, leaving him in a state of confusion and anger.

She didn't dare look back.

~~~~~~

"I don't need your apology," Asano grunted, "What I want is an explanation because I know damn well you don't belong in E Class."

"I.. I can't tell you the answer to that," Katsuna exhaled before locking her eyes with the boy, "It's none of your business anyway, you don't control me."

"Oh don't give me that shit," the boy shot, raising his voice, "My father's involved in this right? Does he have some sort of dirt on you that made you get sent there? But it still doesn't make sense... I can't figure it out!"

"Well I've got one for you!" Katsuna countered aggressively, "Why do you care so much?!"

"Because I... I l-" Asano stammered, the words unable to come out.

"Oh spit it out!" the girl cried, gesturing her arms into the air.

"Because," the boy started, his eyes screaming in desperation before sighing, the passion leaving his eyes, "Because I know my dad's hiding something and I need to get some sort of upper hand on him."

"So this is all because you have some major daddy issues?" Katsuna scowled.

"I don't have dadd-"
