Chapter Forty Eight: Day Three

1 hour has passed. 9 am. No kills. Tristan and Irina were searching the forest through binoculars. Irina then put her hand on Tristan's shoulder. Tristan looked at her.

"The teal team are about to come into contact with the dark red team." She said. Tristan looked and saw Maemi and Itona sneaking around from bush to to tree. Akito and Toka were doing the same thing, but just as Toka was about to go to a tree, Akito stopped her.

"What is it?" She asked.

"I saw something teal... I think it's Maemi and Itona." He said. Toka looked and saw Maemi and Itona moving around in the shadows quickly. She then nodded.

"What do we do?" She asked.

"Use Maemi's weakness against her." Akito said. He picked up a large rock and threw it in the air. Maemi noticed it and watched it go towards the sky. Itona saw it to.

"A rock?" He thought. His eyes then went wide and he jumped and pushed Maemi to the ground. As the rock fell to the ground, an Anti-Korosensei knife covered in dark red paint flew past them.

"Akito..." Maemi mumbled. The two sat up and Maemi noticed Akito's dark red hair. She then began to climb the tree they were hiding behind.

"What are you doing?" Itona asked in a whisper. Maemi pulled out a small ball that looked like a grenade. She then pulled the top off and threw it towards them.

"What's that?" Toka asked. The grenade then exploded, causing teal paint to go allover the two. Their eyes went wide as they looked up at Maemi.

"Use that to distract me next time." She stated.

"Looks like it's not Ayato." Toka said.

"Sh!" Akito exclaimed while Toka giggled.

"Karasuma. Team Dark Red. Down west." Tristan said.

"Got it." Karasuma said.

"That Maemi girl is very smart." Irina said.

"Yeah. Would you believe me if I told you her father was the assassin known as Robotic Assassin?" Tristan asked. Irina's eyes went wide.

"Are you serious?" Irina asked.

"She doesn't know that though. In fact, most these kids do have relatives who were once assassins, but they don't even know." Tristan explained.

"That explains the look in her eyes." Irina said.

"What do you mean?" Tristan asked.

"When I first became an assassin, my teacher and I ran into the Robotic Assassin. His eyes. Light brown. They had a hidden message inside them. I looked at Maemi when I first came to Class R. Her eyes. It's like they hold a secret." Irina said. Tristan watched her as she talked about Maemi. Tristan looked away.

"It's true she's a mystery." Tristan said as he continued to look around the forest through his binoculars. "When the class got taken. She kicked one of the assassins and he was thrown into a wall." Tristan said.

All of a sudden, Maemi appeared behind him and span around with her leg out and kicked him. Katsuo's eyes went wide as he was kicked into a wall.

"Since when was she that strong?!" Akito and Ayato exclaimed. Maemi landed perfectly on the ground and stood straight. She put one foot back and put her fists up, ready to fight. Katsuo got up and ran at Maemi. He went to hit her, but she blocked him. This continued. As they fought, Maemi began to walk back and Katsuo followed.

"She's amazing." Toka gasped. Maemi went to kick Katsu, but he blocked her. Soon, they were close to a wall. Maemi then did something that surpised them all. She jumped back on the wall, then used it as a spring board and kicked Katsuo down. Maemi landed as Katsu fell to the ground near the opposite wall. Maemi had kicked him in the face, which caused blood to fall down his chin.

"Are you being serious?!" Irina gasped.

"Mhm." Tristan said with a nod. "Green verses dark orange." He then said. Irina looked and saw Katsu and Ayato fighting as Yukiko and Hinano just sat there, not knowing what to do.

"Err... Should we help them?" Hinano asked.

"I really don't want to get into that." Yukiko said. The two girls looked at each other and then began to attack each other.

"Erina, Green verses Dark Orange, up north." Irina said.

"On it." Erina said. Katsu went to hit Ayato with his fist, but then Ayato grabbed his fist and twisted it. Just as he did that, Katsu went to hit Ayato with his other fist, but then Ayato grabbed that fist too.

"Two of the strongest in Class-R against each other. This should be interesting." Tristan said.

"Ayato is the one who almost took Karasuma out." Irina said.

"Yep. Katsu isn't that far away from reaching his level. I guess that's how their friendship was born. From my knowledge, a bunch of guys were bothering Aina. Akashi and Katsu tried to help her, but the boys were from the wrestling club. That's when Ayato got involved. He saw it and took all the boys down." Tristan explained. Irina's eyes went wide.

"Damn it!" Katsu exclaimed.

"Don't worry, you're doing well." Ayato smiled.

"Thanks." Katsu smiled. He then managed to break free. They then heard a squeak. The two looked and sweat drop. Yukiko and Hinano fell over a branch.

"You ok there?" Ayato asked. Hinano then managed to slash Yukiko with her knife. She then smiled.

"Just fine." She said while Yukiko sighed. Katsu and Ayato looked at each other with a shrug, before Katsu went to slash Ayato, however, Ayato grabbed Katsu's arm.

"Not just yet!" He said. Ayato managed to kick Katsu's legs. Katsu fell to the ground and then Ayato quickly shot him.

"Damn it." Katsu sighed as he put his head down. Ayato crouched down.

"Not bad. We need to train together again like we did last month." Ayato smiled as he put his hand out.

"Yeah." Katsu said as he took Ayato's hand.

"Aw, such a touching moment." Hinano and Yukiko said. The boys just went stiff before sighing.

"How many are remaining now?" Tristan asked.

"13." Irina said.

"This will either be finished tomorrow, or today." Tristan said. "Huh?" He questioned.

"What is it?" Irina questioned.

"What are they doing?" Tristan asked himself. Irina looked to where Tristan was looking and went wide eyed. Akio and Rinka were both hiding in trees with guns and Ichirin and Ryunosuke were walking straight towards them.

"Isn't Ichi afraid of guns?" Irina asked.

"From what I heard, yes, but not one of her classmates know this." Tristan explained.

"The Plum team might lose then." Irina said.

"Not necessarily." Tristan said.

"What do you mean?" Irina asked.

"Ichirin has a teammate. He might be able to help her." Tristan said.

"We haven't seen anyone for awhile. We better be careful we don't fall for a trap." Ichirin said.

"Yeah." Ryunosuke said. Akio closed one eye and shot at them. The paint ball went straight passed Ichirin's face, just missing her. Ichirin's eyes went wide.

"Damn it." Akio said. Ichirin and Ryunosuke looked up to see Rinka and Akio on a tree branch. Ichirin stepped back.

"Oh no... Guns..." Ryunosuke thought as he looked at Ichirin.

"What's wrong with her?" Rinka thought.

"She's usually more confident... I wonder what will happen if..." Akio thought. He jumped down.

"Hey!" Rinka said. She then followed him. Ryunosuke broke for cover as he got his gun out and began to shoot at them, but the two managed to dodge all his attacks.

"Ichi?" Akio questioned as he walked up to her. Ichirin had fallen back. She was against a tree, breathing heavily. She then put her hands on her head as tears began to fall down her face. Rinka and Akio looked at each other in confusion.

"Guns kill. They kill. I don't want to die yet. They're guns... Get them away from me... no..." Ichirin thought.

"What's wrong with her? Is she scared of guns?" Rinka thought as she looked at her gun. Ryunosuke then pushed the two away from Ichirin.

"She's scared of guns! Get them away from her!" Ryunosuke ordered.

"So that's it!" The two thought with wide eyes. They dropped their guns and Ryunosuke walked to Ichirin.

"Ichirin. They're dropped them. It's ok." Ryunosuke said. Ichirin was just staring at the guns as tears continued to fall down her face.

"Why are you scared of guns?" Rinka asked.

"I'm sorry... Your sister and brother-in-law were killed in a shooting." A small Ichirin heard as she was shooting a gun. Her eyes went wide as she looked to see a younger Erina talking to an officer. Erina's eyes went wide.

"What?" Erina gasped.

"And your brother-in-law's brother and his wife were also in that shooting. I heard you're looking after their children at the moment." The officer said.

"That can't be... They said... They'd be back..." A small Aria said with wide eyes. Ichirin had tears falling down her face.

"Guns... Killed them?" Ichirin thought. She looked at the gun she was holding and dropped it as she went back.

"Ichi?" Aria gasped.

"Ichi! Ichirin! Ichi!"Ichirin snapped out of her flash back as she looked up at everyone. Rinka and Akio had plum paint on their heads.

"Yeah... I don't think this much paint was needed." Akio said. Rinka nodded. The guns were now gone and Ichirin sighed as she wiped her tears away.

"Why are you scared of guns?" Rinka asked. Ichirin looked down as she swallowed a big lump in her throat.

"Guns... They kill people..." Ichirin said.

"So do knives, but you're not scared of them." Akio said.

"My parents were killed in a shooting... along side Aria's parents..." Ichirin explained.

"That's the reason?" Akio questioned.

"You make it sound like it should be something bigger..." Ichirin said as she looked down. Akio sighed as he scratched the back of his necmy.

"I know what it's like to lose your parents. My parents were killed when I was 5." Akio said. Ichirin's eyes went wide. "They were wanted by assassins and the assassins got what they want. Their deaths. Guess what I'm trying to say is, guns don't kill people Ichirin, people do." Akio explained. Ichirin just looked down.

"I guess you're right... But after their deaths I haven't been able to look at a gun. The weapon they knew how to use inside and out was the weapon used to kill them. They knew how to dodge bullets within a heart beat. I don't get how the bullets could have even caught up with them..." Ichirin explained.

Time Skip

Soon, it was 1 pm. 3 hours have passed. No kills. It was silent. No one has run into another team yet. Everyone were cautious, especially since the strongest teams are left.

"Man, can we get a team already? I want to at least take one team down before being taken down." Hiroto said.

"Hm... All we can hope for is that we get someone who we know well." Mel said. Just then, they stopped when they were face to face with Haru and Hinata.

"Err..." They all said.

"Are you some sort of psychic?!" Hiroto exclaimed.

"What dumb luck." Mel giggled.

"Man, she knows all my weaknesses." Haru sighed.

"Don't worry. I know Maehara's." Hinata smirked.

"Come at me then." Hiroto smirked.

"Your cocky attitude will get you taken down you know." Mel said.

"No it won't!" Hiroto exclaimed. Hinata then went to strike Hiroto while Haru did the same to Mel, but the two managed to dodge. Hiroto jumped back and Mel pushed his arm away. Just then, Haru went to attack with his other hand, but failed once again. Just as Mel was about to strike Haru, Hinata jumped, put her hand on Haru's back, causing him to go down, kicked the knife out of Mel's hand and then landed perfectly.

"Thanks." Haru said with a sigh of relief. Hiroto then went to attack him, but Haru dodged his attack. Hinata then went to Mel to attack, but Mel flipped back.

"Wow. Someone sure is a gymnast." Hinata said.

"I could say the same to you." Mel said. Hinata and Mel ran at each other.

"Damn, you're strong." Hiroto said.

"You think I'm strong? You really wouldn't want to go against Ayato or Katsu." Haru said. The two were currently trying to slash each other with their knives, however, the other kept pushing the other away with a lot of force. A shadow went over the two. They looked and saw Mel flipping backwards with  Hinata following by jumping.

"Err..." They both said.

"I'm so glad they're not wearing skirts." Haru sighed with relief before pushing Hiroto away. Mel landed perfectly and as she did, Hinata tried to attack her from the air, but Mel blocked her. Hinata then landed and went to kick Mel, but Mel ducked and went to kick Hinata's legs, however, Hinata jumped over the attack. Just then, Hiroto was thrown between the two and landed on the ground between them. The girls looked at each other before looking at Hiroto, who groaned. "You ok?" Haru asked. Mel suddenly pulled out two guns and pointed them out at Hinata and Haru. The two jumped. Mel smiled.

"You should know that I always have a trick up my sleeves Haru." Mel smiled. Haru sighed as he put his hands up. Hinata did the same. Just then, Mel shot the two and Hiroto put his thumbs up.

"Nice kill." He said with a groan. Mel smiled.

"Thanks." She said.

"The white team are out. They've been taken out by the Pinkish purple team." Irina explained. "North-East." She then added.

"I've got it." Karasuma said.

"Wait, Karasuma, don't move." Tristan said.

"Why?" Karasuma questioned.

"The Teal team are hiding near them." Tristan said.

"Eke!" Mel squeaked as she got shot in the back, neat the bottom of her spine.

"Ah." Hiroto groaned as he got shot in the back, after getting up with help. Mel and Itona then jumped out of a tree and Hiroto and Mel sighed.

"Well, at least we took out one team before we got killed." Hiroto said. Mel sighed.

"Yeah, true." She said.

"Both white and pinkish purple teams are out. You may now move Karasuma." Tristan said.

"Those two are really going at it." Irina said.

"Irina, Dark Green are going against the Green team." Tristan said. "South-west."

"Got it." Irina said.

"This might be the last day we have before everyone are out." Tristan said. Irina nodded in agreement.

"Gah." Hunter exclaimed as he ran from Ayato.

"Stop running already!" Ayato shouted.

"I don't even know what to say to that..." Kaede said.

"He's your team mate." Hinano stated. Kaede had got caught in a paint grenade. Hunter didn't pull her away in time. Hunter continued to run from Ayato, in fear might I add, when he suddenly got shot with a blue paint ball in the head.

"Huh?" Hunter questioned as he stopped.

"You got shot..." Ayato said. He then suddenly jumped back as several paint balls were shot at him.

"Hinano! Watch out! Yuzuru and Nagisa are-!" Ayato began to say, but stopped when he saw Yuzuru with a knife to Hinano's throat. Hinano had tears falling down her face like TT_TT.

"A little too late Ayato." She cried. Yuzuru smiled.

"You're done~!" She said as she opened her eyes to reveal lifeless eyes.

"Damn it. She's gone into Zuru mode!" Ayato thought. He was suddenly shot from behind by Nagisa as he jumped out of a tree. Yuzuru then slashed Hinano with her knife. The light then returned to her eyes as she smiled.

"Better luck next time Ayato." She said. Ayato sighed.

"At least I didn't have to fight Ayato." Hunter said with a sigh of relief, but then Kaede punched him. "Ow!"He exclaimed. Kaede then grabbed him by his shirt and began to shake him.

"You left me there!" She exclaimed.

"S-s-sorry!" Hunter exclaimed.

"I thought you could smell danger!" Kaede said.

"That's why I ran!" Hunter exclaimed.

"That's the Dark Green and Green team out." Irina said.

"Eight teams remaining." Tristan said.

"Eke!" They heard someone scream. The two looked and saw Saika in a lake with plum paint on her. Tomohito sighed as he was in the lake next to her with plum paint on him.

"Sorry about that." Ichirin smiled.

"You didn't have to sneak up on us. This isn't a real thing Ichi." Saika said. Ichirin knocked on her head.

"I can't help it. It's in my nature. Sorry." Ichirin said.

"Seven. The two aren't even anywhere near those four." Irina said. Tristan sighed.

"We'll have to do it." He said. "Korosensei."

"YAY! Which team?" Korosensei asked.

"Purple. South West." Tristan said.

"On my way!" Korosensei said. Korosensei suddenly landed next to the plum team in an officer uniform.

"Purple team, you're out." He said. Ichirin then tried to attack him, but he dodged her attacks.

"Ichirin, you should save your energy." Saika said as she sneezed while getting out of the lake. All of a sudden, Ichirin was shot with red paint. The same thing happened with Ryunosuke.

"Plum team! You're out!" Korosensei said.

"What? When did they get there?!" Ichirin exclaimed. Akita and Karma were smirking while in a tree with guns.

A little while later...

The sun was beginning to set. It was 5 pm. There were only three teams remaining. The red team, the blue team and the indigo team. The black team, Taisei and Jasmine, got taken out with a sneak attack by the Dark Pink team, Aria and Takuya. They then ran into a trap set by Maemi and Itona and got slashed with paint, but right after, Akita and Karma shot them.

Everyone were waiting with suspense. Korosensei was flying around the forest with a camera and connected it to Maemi's laptop. Everyone were surrounding Maemi and watched what was going on. The Blue team and red team were getting closer to each other, until they met in a small circle area that was clear. It was only surrounded by trees.

"The final battle..." Saika said with a gulp.

"I wonder who's going to win." Oki said. Akita looked at Yuzuru with a smirk. Yuzuru gulped. Nagisa looked at Karma with gulp while Karma had a confident grin resting on his face.

"Looks like it's us verses you." Akita said. "Don't look frightened Yuzu. Why don't you let that little blood lust side out of you?" Akita suggested.

"What is she talking about?" Hinano asked. Yuzuru sighed.

"What?" Karma questioned.

"You're about to see." Akita smirked. Karma looked at Yuzuru, who had her eyes closed. She then opened them to reveal lifeless eyes.
