When we arrived at the inn, we had dinner and everyone changed into the provided yukatas as well.

I sneaked out and met up with Red Eye again. It was nice to catch up with him, its been awhile since I last talked with him, in person anyways. We strolled through the streets of Kyoto.

"Just out of curiosity, but how did you get the name, Red Eye?" I asked.

"I've been a sniper for eight years. And not once have I failed to see a mark's blood in my scope. Not once. That's how I got the name Red Eye." he went into a little alleyway with dim lights and leaned against the wall.

"Kinda strange when you think about it. Nothing particularly red about my eye." Something dropped into his line of sight.

"Here you go." Koro-sensei said, holding the little bottle, which Red Eye accepted, "It's a special blend of spices from Sannenzaka."

Oh shit. Im sooo busted...

I slowly scooted in further into the alley away from them.

"Thank you. 'Preciate it." Red Eye thanked, "You really shouldn't ha-"

He looked up and saw his target, "What in the hell?!"

"Sorry to disrupt your plans; some of my students were in a pickle. Not to worry, it's taken care of. Everything's shipshape now. So I thought I would take this opportunity to drop by and say hello." His voice sounded scary and his eyes glowed red.

Red Eye had slid down the wall in terror.

"And it seems like one of my students sneaked off without permission." his glowing red eyes trailed towards me, while I avoided eye contact.

Koro-sensei ended up inviting Red Eye to have some yudofu at a nearby traditional restaurant.

Luckily for me, I got to join in too. I didn't have dinner yet, so this was perfect.

"So you knew the plan and you were just playing along for kicks?" Red Eye asked "You're one scary customer, you know that?"

Koro-sensei continued to blow on his tofu, "No wonder the government's paying a fortune to keep you secret. So, uh... Let's cut to the chase, huh?"

"If you're gonna kill me, go right ahead." Red Eye stated bluntly, "Death is an occupational hazard. I know what I signed up for." he said, while Koro-sensei was still blowing on his tofu.

"He's not gonna kill you," I said, taking a bit of tofu. "He's not that type of... Creature?..."

"Hm..." Red Eye acknowledged and looked over at the creature who was still blowing on his tofu, "Just eat it!"

"You don't really think I'm going to kill you? When you've gone to so much trouble making this an enjoyable trip? On the contrary, I'm here to thank you." Koro-sensei said after finally finishing blowing on his tofu.

He started explaining the work the students did before coming on the trip. When he finished, he scooped a cube of tofu for each of us and garnished it as well.

"Under the circumstances, I'm as proud as punch to be their target." Koro-sensei said.

"I'll be damned. You're as crazy as you look. Still. I can tell you care about those kids." Red Eye fell silent. "Well, I'll be taking my leave now. Thanks for the food, see you 'round."

"Take care, it was nice catching up with you" I waved as he left the table.

"Now, you. Why did you sneak out?" Koro-sensei asked.

"Did you forget who I am?" I answered with another question, staring straight into his beady, black eyes.

"Now that you mention it, you do look familiar," Koro-sensei stated.

"Don't you remember the girl that was with Aguri Yukimura when you were being experimented on?" I asked, emphasizing the name and tilted my head.

Koro-sensei gasped, "That was you!" he shouted in shock. "Wait, you're Fallen Light?!"

"Not so loud!" I exclaimed quietly, "I am, but one: I am still your student and you are my teacher. Two: You are not to discuss anything to anyone about me. Got it." I said sternly, glaring at him.

"Of course! But as your teacher, I still need to punish you for sneaking out without permission." he eyes shined red again as he held a mischievous grin and started to do his weird laugh.

"What do you have planned?..." I was curious, but nervous was more like it.

When we got back to the inn, I changed into one of the provided white yukatas and the green one over it.

For my punishment, he made me wear black cat ears, a clip on tail and fingerless, cat paw gloves. Even with all that, he used face paint to paint whiskers and a nose on me.

I know I've seen those cat ears before... I can't believe he still has them...

"There we go, all done," he sang out.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I sighed in misery and frustration, "And exactly how long do I need to keep this on for?" I asked, looking down.

"Until lights out!" Koro-sensei exclaimed.

"What!" I shouted. Then, all of a sudden I was in front of Mr. Karasuma who just finished a phone call.

"Uh... What's with the getup?" he asked, clearly confused about the situation.

"Ask the octopus." I said angrily and pointed to the octopus behind me, who was holding my shoulders.

"Octopus!" he shouted and jumped back a little. He sounded offended. "All I did was dress her up because she left the inn without permission."

"I'm leaving." I said angrily.

I better not run into anyone, though it's impossible...

I got a notification from my phone and check what it was. It was Red Eye.

Aannnd he's quit the mission... Great...

"Shiniko, is that you?!" a voice came from behind.

Oh would you look at that... What did I say...

I turned around to only be face to face with Nagisa, Sugino and the perverted Okajima who took a photo.

"Yea, and?" I said, as if I wasn't part cat.

"Why are you dressed up like a cat?" Sugino asked.

"Koro-sensei found out I sneaked out earlier and as punishment I have to stay like this 'til I go to bed," I answered calmly.

"Oh..." he and Nagisa just sweat dropped, and Okajima just had a major nosebleed.

We walked around, until we saw Nakamura and Fuwa walking suspiciously towards the guy's bathroom.

"Hey." Nagisa said, getting their attention.

"Oh my god! Shiniko, you look so adorable!" Nakamura squealed as soon as she saw me and started snapping millions of photos.

Save me Jeebus...

"What are you guys doing?" I asked after she was done.

"What does it look like we're doing? Tryin' to sneak a peak!" Nakamura answered.

"What?!" Both Nagisa and I were shocked by her answer. Never had I stooped this low before for a mission.

"Wait, that's supposed to be our job!" Okajima claimed, Nagisa and Sugino looked at him with an awkward smile.

"Maybe yours perv." I sent a glare in his direction.

"It's nobody's job." Nagisa added.

"Either way, who can resist?" Nakamura questioned and slid the door open, allowing everyone to peek inside.

"Look at the way that outfit is hung. That can only mean one thing. You're a clever guy. You get what I'm saying." Nakamura said and Nagisa nodded.

"We wanna see what he looks like naked. This may be our only opportunity." Nakamura stated, "Does he have a proper body or is it tentacles all the way down?" she questioned.

"And it's not creepy 'cause we need all the intel on Koro-sensei we can get." We started to creep behind her as she made her way closer to the entrance.

"Can we all agree this isn't the least bit sexy?" Okajima asked, but only to get no reply.

Gross...

Nakamura slowly opened the door, and we all saw a pink Koro-sensei scrubbing himself in a tub full of bubbles.

"Is he a chick?!" Nakamura shouted.

"Oh, hello, children and Lil Kitty," he greeted.

"Don't call me Lil Kitty!" I yelled and threw an anti-sensei knife at him, but of course he dodged it.

"Are you taking a bubble bath in a public restroom?" Sugino questioned.

"We're not s'posed to add anything to the water, sir," Nagisa said, and Koro-sensei started to explain what happens during his cleaning process.

Nakamura giggled, "Yeah. Fascinating. But you let your guard down, sir, and we're blocking your exit. You'll come slopping out of that tube eventually." she said with confidence. "And when you do, you'll have to walk by us. We may not kill you, but we'll see you naked!"

"This simply will not do!" he exclaimed. "A-ha!" He stood up. His body was covered in a green, jelly-like substance.

"What the hell is that?!" Nakamura shouted.

"Jellied broth, my dear!" Koro-sensei answered, "Now, if you'll excuse me." He jumped out the window while gigging, leaving the group of deadpanned students.

How did that "jellied broth" not break when he went out?...

"All righty, then." Nagisa was the first to speak.

"Well, that was lame." Okajima commented. "Can we peep on a woman next time, please?" he asked, but only to receive a smack on the head by me as I headed out.

Everyone started to go back to their room and I took my time. Since there wasn't anything to do, I ended up trudging back to the girls room.

When I opened the door to the room, everyone stared at me, silent and red.

Oh shit! Wrong room!

I felt my face heat up as I slammed the door shut. I went to one of the vending machines to get some green tea to cool off.

When I got my drink out, I heard another camera click and turned in the direction of the sound.

Of course, it was the devil.

"Well, what do we have here, did a little kitty get lost?~" Karma teased, making heat rise to my face once more.

"Come here, I don't bite," he continued to provoke me.

I looked at him with an expression that just says, 'the fuck you doin' man'.

He slowly walked closer, and closer...

Until...

"Gotcha!" he engulfed me into a hug, then into a headlock, but a gentle one.

He patted my head, "Don't worry, you're safe now, Lil Kitty." He laughed as he let me go. "But seriously, why are you dressed like that?" he asked, getting his drink.

"I sneaked out without permission and the octopus told me I can't take this off until lights out." I had to explain again.

Karma just stared, then he started laughing again, "Come on, let's go."

"Fine." I just wanted out of this thing asap.

I realized we were headed to the guys room.

There's no way in hell I can face them again like this...

"I'm gonna stay out here, I'm not going in looking this..." I leaned against the wall by the door in the blind spot.

"Suit yourself," he said before entering, "Sounds like a party in here." He closed the door.

"Just in time, which of the girls in our class do you like?" Maehara asked.

Really... they're doing a popularity poll of the girls...

"Hmm... I believe I'll have to go with Okuda and Shiniko."

Of course you would choose Okuda...

Koro-sensei was taking notes by eavesdropping on them.

Hol' up, wait a minute, when did he get here?...

"Huh, interesting. But why those two?" Maehara asked.

"Okuda's a demon at chemistry. Think of all the concoctions she could brew up to enhance my shenanigans. It's a match made in heaven." Karma answered.

Yup, thought so...

"Yeah, heaven, sure. What about Shiniko?" he proceeded to ask, remembering what happened when she first showed up in class.

"She's already my best friend, even though I don't know much 'bout her, yet. She's a badass and a genius." he answered truthfully.

I smiled, I was happy to hear what he said.

"Are you guys just friends? Or?..." Maehara dragged the ending with a teasing smile.

"We're just friends," Karma answered with confidence and without hesitation.

"Really? 'Cause it didn't look like it on the day she joined the class," Maehara continued to tease.

"Hey guys. We're agreeing to keep these ratings just between us, yeah?" Isogai questioned.

"Of course. We're not stupid." Maehara answered.

"So absolutely none of what we're saying leaves this room? If this information got out, we'd have a real problem..." his voice dropped at the last part, noticing Koro-sensei at the door.

Time to yeet!

I ran to the closest opened window and pretended to look through my phone. The boys came charing out after Koro-sensei.

I went to the girls room.

"The kitten's back!" Nakamura shouted, all the girls turned their heads, followed by calling me 'cute', 'adorable', and stuff like that.

And pictures. Oh my god, so many pictures...

"Okay, girls, settle down. I'm supposed to tell you lights out, so, I dunno, at least pretend to be asleep?" Irina came in with a case of beer. "And what's with the cat getup?"

I sighed at how many times I needed to answer that question, "I sneaked out without permission and this was Koro-sensei's punishment."

"Okay then." she said, empathizing with her pain. "Just keep the antics to a dull roar, okay?"

"Hang on, how come you get to drink beer? Meanie!" Kurahashi asked.

"I'm an adult, sweetie. Adults get to drink beer." Irina sang.

"Why don't you stay up with us?" Yada suggested, "You could tell us some "adult" stories!"

Please no, I don't want to hear them again...

"Huh?" Irina questioned.

"We'd probably get more out of 'em than your usual classes." Kurahashi said cheerfully.

She's not wrong about that.

"Why, you trashy lil ginger-" she got cut off by Yada who's now behind her.

"Now, now. Don't get bent out of shape." Yada said, pushing Irina into our room.

We all sat in front of Irina as she told us about herself.

As she was about to start her juicy stories, a pink octopus sneaked into the room. Irina pointed him out for interrupting their girl talk and if he wanted to stay he would have to spill the tea on his own love life.

He ended up blasting away as usual with the girls and Irina chasing after him.

I stayed behind and made sure no one was around before snacking on Irina's snacks and chugging the beer.

Man, I'm such a glutton... But Ive always wanted to try...

I patted my stomach before getting up to see the chaos that ensued.

Nagisa and Karma were standing off to the side watching and a harmless idea hit me. I started staggering towards them.

"Heyyy guyz, whaz up?" I slurred out, my face flushed.

"Shiniko, are you okay?!" Nagisa started to panic a little.

"Whatever do you mean, Lil Nagi?" I questioned like a little kid and looked at him with puppy eyes. Karma took out his phone and started recording.

"I'm perfectly fine," I stumbled forward, only to have Karma catch me before I made friends with the floor.

He pulled me closer to him. His hand gently caressed my chin and tilted my head up. Our eyes met and he started to lean in closer, our faces centimetres apart.

My face heated up, but I didn't break character.

"She's drunk." he stated and pulled back.

"How?" Nagisa asked, feeling relieved. Karma hoisted me up onto his back, giving me a piggyback ride.

"Dunno. But we should take her back to the girls room," Karma said and started walking, Nagisa following behind of course.

"Karma smells like strawberries!" I giggled and wrapped my arms around Karma's neck, making him blush a little, but it wasn't too visible.

When they got to the girls room, they saw the cans of beer spread around.

"She must've stolen one from Bitch-sensei." Karma said as Nagisa went to get a futon.

When he got it all set up, Karma carefully set me onto the futon, but didn't take the cat accessories off.

"Why are you guys leaving me?" I whined, sprawled out on the futon.

Karma tucked me in and kissed my forehead.

"Huh?" I questioned, looking at him.

Man... whoever's marrying this man sure is lucky...

"Just go to sleep, you'll feel better in the morning." he said and walked out the room with Nagisa, closing the lights and the door.

They both bought it... Wow, Irina's lessons really paid off...

When I was sure both of them were gone, I got up quietly and changed. I took off the cat ears and tail, but not the gloves, they grew on me.

After that, I sneaked out, again. But before that, I text someone.

Me: U stil up?

Shuu: Yea, y?

Me: I'm comin over, don't tell anyone

Shuu: K

I finished off a target of mine before arriving at the hotel. I shot him with my pocket pistol with a silencer on. After he died, I made my way to the hotel and hid the pistol and silencer inside my shirt.

Me: Wuts ur room#

Shuu: 342

I made my way up and knocked on the door.

No Answer.

I knocked again. Still no answer.

I knocked once more and finally the door opened, to reveal a half naked Gakushuu. I immediately smacked my hand over my eyes and walked in.

"Put a shirt on goddammit!" I blurted out.

"Alright, just calm down," he said while putting a shirt on. "You can look now."

I scanned the room. It was so spacious and the bed was huge. I walked towards the window, the view of Kyoto was just as spectacular.

"Wow..." I mumble aloud.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" he asked, walking next to me.

"Yeah, it is.." I whispered out.

"So, is there any reason you wanted to see me, and why do you have cat paws and whiskers?" he asked, taking a closer inspection.

"What good would a school trip be if I didn't get to spend it with my family? And the cat getup was a dare." I lied.

Whiskers?! I must've forgotten to wash it off damn it...

"Well you look adorable," he complimented and gave me a small side hug.

Please don't feel my rifle, please don't feel my rifle, please don't feel my rifle!

"Can I stay here for the night?" I asked, "I'm too tired to go back to the inn."

Please say yes! My head and stomach are killing me! Why did I think chugging a whole can of beer would be a good idea?!

"Of course, what kind of person would I be if I made you go back?" he questioned. "Especially this late at night," he added.

"Thanks," I made my way over to the bed, flopped down on my stomach.

Ah shit... I felt my tools press into my stomach. That hurt like a motherfucker...

I rolled over to my back and went under the covers before knocking out.

"You were always a heavy sleeper, weren't you?" he said to himself quietly before getting into bed himself.

He snapped a picture of her sleeping, "This could work as blackmail."

Hours passed, it was around 4am in the morning. I woke up and stared at the clock, then panicked before getting a piece of paper and pen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To Shuu,

Thanks for letting me stay the night, even if it was only for a short while, but I left early so my teachers and classmates won't freak out that I'm missing. You also took up most of the room on the bed you big potato. Jk, ♡U

~SK

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I left the note on the table and took off quietly. I carefully sneaked back into the inn, put my stuff away, and washed the paint off my face.

Even though I only got like a few hours of sleep, I stayed up to see the sunrise and it was absolutely gorgeous. I got ready for the morning and double checked if all my things were packed.

Eventually everyone started to get up and ready. Soon, it was time to go back home. And with that, our school trip to Kyoto came to an end.
