Sanctuary (Karma Akabane x OC)

Unfinished Business

At Kunugigaoka, the last day of the summer term is marked with a whole school assembly where even Class 3-E is permitted to join on the main campus.

However, for the first time, the students were eager to line up beside the other classes, the results for their finals boosting their egos tremendously.

"Man, I can't wait to see the looks on their faces," Rio jeered, rubbing her hands together mischievously.

"I still can't believe Teresaka's group managed to ace Home Ec," Nagisa replied enthusiastically, "That's 7 tentacles in total!"

"That's right, aren't I just so awesome!" Terasaka interjected, his grin full of pride.

"I think it's gone to his head a little," Kaede whispered, the blue haired boy nodding in agreement.

"Hey, isn't that Asano and the big five?!" Fuwa pointed to the entrance of the assembly building where the strawberry blond could be seen, his sheepish cronies accompanying him from behind.

Katsuna followed the E Class students as they made their way towards their defeated opponents, holding themselves with dignity.

"I don't have time for your intolerant behaviour right now," Asano snapped, attempting to walk pass the students as they crowded in front of him.

"I don't think so," Isogai responded, stepping up against the principal's son, "I believe we had a bet, and you guys lost."

Asano tsked, folding his arms tightly in irritation from the humiliating reminder.

"Our demand was sent via email, I'm sure you've received it already."

"If that's all, I have an assembly to get to," Asano grumbled, bitterly accepting the defeat.

Heads will roll for this atrocity.

I will deliver Class E's demise personally.

Upon passing the group, the boy caught sight of a pair of golden-green eyes hiding in the back among her peers, a repulsive smirk coating his features.

He took advantage of the vulnerability in her adverted gaze, a sick sense of empowerment flooding his body like venom.

Though it was only short lasted as the strawberry blond flickered his eyes towards the stone-cold stare of a certain redhead standing just behind Katsuna.

Asano gritted his teeth before reluctantly turning his head to the front, knowing that making a scene now would only cause in further embarrassment against his representation as being the untouchable top student.

Katsuna eyed her shaking hands, frustrated at herself for not being able to meet the knife-like violet leer of her rival.

No matter what situations she could come up with in her head of self-assured confidence, whenever it really came down to reality..

Asano's sudden forcefulness that day had left her shaken like a leaf.

"I bet that guy's into some freaky ass kinks."

"What?" Katsuna spat out a disbelieving chuckle, flipping her head round to face the redhead.

"Just think about it, those daddy issues have gotta go somewhere haven't they?"" Karma contemplated, shrugging causally.

"Yeah, I see that actually," Katsuna replied, smiling in agreement to the somewhat strange remark, "What are you doing here anyway, don't you hate assemblies?"

"Sure, but if I didn't turn up, it'd seem like I was running away," the redhead huffed, wandering to the back of the line beside Katsuna, "And that would puncture my reputation."
