Sanctuary (Karma Akabane x OC)

It Started With An Insult

"A summer festival?"

"It's the last day of summer vacation and everyone else I've asked seemed to have other plans," Koro-sensei wailed, his thick splodgy tears running down his fake human face.

Katsuna peered suspiciously down at her sobbing teacher before giving in with a slight huff.

"Fine, I'll go," she sighed, placing down her library book on the desk reluctantly.

"Now will you please get up; you're making a scene."

Back on the main island, the students had separated to spend time with their families and friends for the remainder of their summer holidays. As agreed upon by the doctor, Katsuna had checked in to the local hospital for her regular weekly check-ups.

They were surprised by how quickly she had regained her strength in her core and legs, seeing no problems in discharging her only a few days before she was scheduled to return to Kunugigaoka.

"So, you'll come?!" Koro-sensei cheered, leaping up from the ground.

"Yes, yes, I'll come," Katsuna responded, swatting the octopus with her hand in an attempt to make him leave.

Might as well distract myself with something instead of books.

~~~~~

So, no-accepted the offer huh.

Katsuna smirked as she surveyed the Class 3-E students chattering excitedly in their groups.

That sneaky octopus...

"Hey Katsuna, over here!" Nagisa called, waved a hand high in the air to catch her attention.

He was stood beside Sugino who was wearing the same cheerful expression. She waved back before making her way over to the pair.

"I'm guessing Koro-sensei ended up giving you the same excuse he gave us," Nagisa sweat dropped, scratching the back of his head.

"I guess so," Katsuna replied, shrugging slightly with a small grin playing on her lips.

"Are you all healed up now?" Sugino inquired, placing his hands into his jacket pockets.

"Yep, I can walk freely now without crutches," she smiled, gesturing down to her legs.

"Just a little more time and I'll be back kicking octopus ass!"

"That's what I like to hear!" he cheered, fist bumping the raven head.

"What's up with Chiba and Hayami anyways," Katsuna asked, watching as the pair sat slumped together on a nearby bench.

"Ah.." Nagisa chuckled nervously, scratching his cheek with his finger.

"Apparently they got kicked out of the shooting stalls."

"My bet is that it was too easy for them and they started clearing out all the prizes," Sugino exhaled.

"I see," Katsuna nodded slowly, glancing back over to their glum faces.

That's Class E's best sharp shooters for you.

"Okay, okay, just don't call the cops!"

The group turned towards the series of shouts coming from a nearby gaming stall.

"You can have your money back, just let me be please!!"

"Karma's back at it again," Nagisa mumbled, analysing the scene from afar.
