Sanctuary (Karma Akabane x OC)

The Kyoto Kidnapping

"So, Koro-sensei gets pretty bad motion sickness huh..." Mimura stated, a bit disappointed by the simplicity of the weakness.

The students had finally arrived at the traditional inn that would be there home for the next two days. They had started to unpack when they noticed their teacher's sunken state as he slumped on the sofa looking completely deflated.

"You'll probably feel a lot better if you stay still," Isogai advised, attempting to stab the octopus in his enfeeble state.

"Now, now kiddos," Koro-sensei groaned, dodging every attack, "Let's get some rest, it'll be a big day tomorrow."

"I guess he's right," Isogai huffed, lowering his weapon, "Boys and Girls in separate rooms please and no peeping Okajima."

"Why just me..." the perverted boy whined, dragging his feet as he followed the rest of the boys down the hallway.

"Come on girls," Kataoka declared, "Let's go get settled!"

The morning came quicker than expected for Katsuna as she finished putting her essentials into her backpack. After slumping it over her shoulders, she made her way towards the lounge where the rest of her class was gathered.

"Right, has everyone got everything they need?" Koro-sensei questioned.

"Okay, stay safe and have fun!"

The eager class cheered before rushing out of the inn and into the unknown city full of wonders. They soon split off into their own groups and began exploring.

Katsuna wandered off by herself, amazed by the animated sights surrounding her.

She made her way through the city, passing delicious smelling restaurants that made her mouth water and crossing traditional Japanese bridges, gazing at the clear rushing water below.

She smiled, watching her reflection in the water like a little kid.

It was truly magical, as if she had just stepped inside a fairy-tale.

Whilst taking a stroll through the park, Katsuna came across a cute little bench tucked under a cherry blossom tree. Perching herself down on the bench, she leaned back, closing her eyes and let the sunlight warm her face.

"I haven't felt this calm in a long time..." the girl found herself wondering, soaking up the tranquil feeling.

Suddenly, something lightly land on her forehead, breaking her thoughts. As she slowly opened her eyes, she watched in a daze as a hand crept closer towards her face.

It was so quick, Katsuna barely had any time to react.

As her eyes adjusted, a vision of a red-haired boy in front of her became clearer, a cherry blossom petal in his hand.

"Karma?" Katsuna mumbled, her eyes wide and questioning.

The crimson haired boy was about to respond when Nagisa's voice broke the concentrated stare.

"Hey Karma, don't run off by yourself!" he gasped, the rest of the group following his lead

Nagisa lifted his head, surprised by Katsuna's presence before providing her with a wide cheerful and slightly relieved smile.

"Hey Katsuna, how's your day been so far?"

"Umm alright, thanks..." the girl replied, standing up from the bench, "Where you guys heading now?"

She eyes the rest of the group that consisted of Sugino, Kaede, Okuda and Kanzaki. They all seemed just as out of breath and surprised as Nagisa.

"We're just about to visit a noodle shop Kanzaki researched," Kaede chirped, clearly thrilled by the idea of food, "Do you want to come with?"
