Once Upon an Assassin

Chapter 21

KONOMI P.O.V.

I happily walked beside the three boys, my backpack on my back bouncing slightly.

"The rainy season is finally over!" Sugino-kun cheered, looking equally as happy as I was feeling.

I nodded my head in agreement, skipping ahead before turning around to face them, "Right?! No more fuzzy, puffy hair," I smirked sending the boys a smile.

"Congrats Konomi-chan," Nagisa-kun kindly stated as he smiled at me.

Sugino-kun who walked between Karma and Nagisa-kun threw his arms over his head as he grinned boyishly, "I say we go out to play in the open air somewhere."

Nagisa-kun and I nodded our heads in agreement, "Sure, where do you wanna go?"

"How about fishing?" Karma questioned as he grinned wickedly.

"Oh, that sounds nice," Nagisa-kun immediate agreed looking slightly excited, "What can we catch at this time of year?"

Suddenly the red haired boy's teeth grew sharp as devil horns and tails appeared, "The summer time is the best seasons for Yankees. They'll be lured in by our prospect of extorting our bait, Nagisa-kun and Konomi. But we'll take their money instead," Karma stated as he made fishing motions with his hands.

I covered my eyes with a hand while Nagisa-kun shook his head, "Is there such thing as a Yankee season...?"

As the two teens argued, I noticed that Sugino-kun suddenly stopped walking, looking at something.

I followed where he was looking and saw him staring at a field where it looked like some students were practicing baseball.

I watched in impressment as a teen who stood by a mound pitched a incredible throw.

"Nice pitch, Captain!"

The teen on the mound took his hat off, wiping sweat off his face with his arm. 

As he looked up, he seemed to noticed us and called out, "Hey, if it isn't Sugino! Been a while hasn't it?"

I looked at the boy beside me in surprise, did Sugino-kun know them?

Suddenly a crowd formed around the gate, people greeting Sugino-kun.

"You're going to pitch for next week's ball game right?"

I looked at Nagisa-kun in question.

Next week?

"Oh? Come to think about it, I haven't decided yet. But I definitely want to," Sugino-Kun answer as he smiled.

I smiled at the interaction but it soon disappeared as Sugino-kun's friends started saying things like he got it easy because he's in class E.

Listening to them say thing as being chosen, I stepped up, smiling at them.

"Hello," I greet, making them notice me.

I didn't miss how some of their eyes open up wider as they stared at me.

"I'm Sugino-kun's classmate, Royal Konomi, it's nice to meet you all," I softly state, gently smiling at them.

"Oi! Isn't she the one that has the massive fan club?"

"Oh yeah! The one who spoke up at the school wide assembly!"

"Aw, Sugino! You lucky bastard! You have the number one beauty of our school in your class!!"

My mouth opened slightly as the males pushed each other on the fence to get a better look of me.

Fan club?

Number one beauty...?

What the hell...?

"Uh... Well, Sugino-kun and I and some of our other classmates have some plans right now, so we'll excuse ourselves," I politely state as I grab Sugino-kun's arm, dragging him away.

With surprising speed, we flee from the scene.

I being the most shock of all.

"Since when do you have a fan club, Konomi-chan?" Nagisa-kun questioned looking slightly surprised as well.

I shook my head, rubbing the bridge of my nose with my hand, "I have no clue."

Sugino-kun was snickering while Karma had his phone out.

"Nee, Ritsu, can you look up information about Konomi's fanclub and tell us about it when we have time in school?" The red head questioned looking at me mischievously.

"Well do, Karma-kun!" A familiar voice chirped.

I sighed, why have I not been informed of this...?

Seriously? Fan club?

>>TIME SKIPS>>

I hummed as I sat beside Megu-chan who was going to be the leader for our girls basketball team.

"Konomi-chan? Do you have any experience with basketball?" The straight banged female questioned as she looked at me.

I smirked a bit cockily and nodded, "Definitely, basketball was a mandatory sport during P.E. in America. And I'm pretty tall so you can count me in, I like the sport," I was probably the tallest girl in the class, although Megu-chan was fairly close to me.

As the girls cheered, I looked over at the boys who were huddled up together. It looked like Sugino-kun was going to be taking the lead.

But the the mood of the class started to go down hill as Sugino-kun started to explain their opponent's strength.

The class sighed in frustration as some of my friends banged their heads on their table.

"You guys are so negative," I comment, placing my cheek in my hand, "Sports such as baseball or basketball isn't always about winning you know."

"Nurufufufufu!"

I looked at the front of the classroom and sweat dropped.

Koro-sensei...

What are you doing?

"Konomi-San is right! Sports aren't always about winning! And as long as we have the motivation, we can win!" The yellow octopus exclaimed, already dressed in a baseball uniform. His round, usually yellow head was white and had stitches marks that made him look like a baseball.

In his tentacles were different objects that were related to baseball.

Sugino-kun sighed as he looked at Koro-sensei with slight amusement, "Right... Koro-sensei you made it quite obvious that you want to be included in playing baseball..."

"Nurufufu," a pink tiny blush appeared on the octopus's face as he held a small table filled with food, "I've wanted to play the part of the hot-blooded coach you find in sports series. Even if it is just once," he then motioned to the table he held, "Since I can't hit and injure any of you, I'll flip over this table instead."

I sweat dropped as the class started to yell at him.

Seriously, what is wrong with this teacher?

>>TIME SKIPS>>

"GO KONOMI-CHAN!!!!"

I grinned and slammed the ball into the net, hanging off of the hoop for a good second or two before dropping back onto my feet.

I smirked at my opponents and flipped my hair that's in a ponytail over my shoulder before high-fiving my classmate's hands.

"Konomi-chan, you're so cool!!!!" Kaede-chan cheered, jumping up and down from our bench.

Smiling, I send her a peace sign before looking at the main campus students that were our opponent.

I couldn't help but grin as they seethed angrily, their nostrils flaring like bulls.

Like I've said to my classmates, I like basketball. I don't feel like I can lose to someone like them.

"Konomi-chan, we have a two point difference but do you think we'll be able to win with thirty seconds left?" Megu-chan whispered to me as we waited for the ball to be released by the referee.

My lilac eyes eyed the electric score board for a moment before I nodded, "Yeah, give me the ball, and don't hesitate even if I'm somewhere that doesn't look like I can make a point," I slyly smirk and look at the basketball team's captain's expression.

The tall female was gritting her teeth, her lips curled into a snarl.

I winked at her playfully, aggravating her as much as I could.

With a mind filled with anger, you'll be distracted and not able to show your true potential when it's needed most.

As the whistle was blown Okano-chan who was one of the faster girls of our class snatched the ball, throwing it to Nakamura-chan who passed it to Megu-chan.

I grinned and stood across the court, farthest away from the hoop which we were suppose to aim for.

Like I said to do, with all of her strength, Megu-chan threw the ball to me.

The opponent team looked at me in shock, not able to run fast enough to reach me because I was a whole court away.

"What is she doing?!"

"Is she planning to...?!"

I smirked as I jumped up, the ball leaving the tip of my fingers and flying into the air with a long arch.

5...

4...

3...

2...

1...

The loud whistle from the referee echoed through the gym.

Now for the ball...

"OH MY GOD, IT WENT IN!!!"

"That's not possible?!"

"I thought this only happens in #urok0 ń0 &asket!!!"

Suddenly, my body was slammed with many bodies, making me stumble, but I quickly regained my balance while holding multiple body weights up.

"Ohmygod!Ohmygod!Ohmygod! We did it! Ohmygod! We really won!" My female classmates chanted loudly as they hugged me tightly.

My lilac colored eyes sparkled in amusement. Placing my hand on my hip, I send our opponent an innocent smile before leaving the gym.

The girls were cheering excitedly as we walked to the field where the boys were suppose to be playing.

"Man! I can't believe we won with a point," Nakamura-chan laughed as she pulled and flapped her shirt, trying to cool herself down.

Megu-chan who walked beside me laughed as she handed me the basketball, "There were few times I was a bit worried but I'm glad we came through."

Spinning the basketball on my finger, I nod, "It's good that we didn't put Kaede-chan in the game," I comment, eyeing my petite green haired friend.

"Eh? Why?" The said girl questioned, tilting her head to the side.

Hesitantly laughing, I dribbled the ball between my legs, "Well, whenever I blocked the ball, the captain's breast would have distracted her because they kept bouncing."

Kaede-chan's face scrunched up as she snarled, "How disgraceful, it fills me with anger."

"What's with your hatred for big boobs, Kayano-chan!" Yada-chan yelled, holding onto her own breast.

I sweat dropped and looked at my own chest. Well... Kaede-chan once told me she didn't care that I had breast.... So I guess it's fine.

"Oh, they're playing, they're playing," I point out, shielding my eyes with my hands from the sun.

Hayami-chan tapped Chiba-kun's shoulder catching his attention, "So, how's the boys baseball game going?"

Chiba-kun silently pointed to the scoreboard, making us all look at it.

My eyes widen slightly before a small whistle of impressment escaped my lips, "Oh, they're winning."

But soon I frowned as a man that I didn't want to see today walked onto the field, giving the baseball team a talk.

Stupid Asano Gakuho...

My nose twitched in annoyance.

"Ko-no-mi-saaaan~"

I gasped as I heavy body fell onto me from behind.

"Irina-sensei?!"

The blonde female smirked as she pushed her overly large breast to my head, "I have something I need you to do for me, come with me!"

"Eh, wait?! But the! The game!" With my eyes widen in shock, Irina-sensei dragged me.

My classmates looked at us in confusion, not bothering to help me even when I had my hands reached out to them.

I was pushed into one of the bathroom stalls with a paper bag.

"Change into this Konomi! Now hurry! We don't have all day!" Irina-sensei snapped.

Warily I opened the bag and stared at the clothing.

"What the fucking hell....?"

>>TIME SKIPS>>

THIRD PERSON P.O.V.

The baseball team wasn't like how it was few moments ago.

With new confidence and tactics, class E was getting pushed to a corner.

As the class watched warily, one girl spoke up.

"Are~? Konomi-chan isn't back with Bitch-sensei yet?" Kayano questioned out loud, catching few people's attention. 

"Now that you mention it... They've been gone for a while..." Kataoka stated as she looked around.

Suddenly different scenarios ran though the teenagers head.

Some, such as Okajima and Maehara'a more dirty than the others. 

"I'm fine guys."

All of them snapped their head to where the voice came from.

But when their eyes connected with their lilac haired classmate, their mouth unhinged and dropped to the floor.

"KONOMI-CHAN?!"

The loud yells made even the male on the field look at them in confusion.

All of them, including both baseball team and class E gapped at the female who dressed in extremely tight white dress that obviously looked like a baseball uniform.

The said female stood in front of them with a stoic face, her hand on her hips where a red belt was placed.

"Since, Chairman Asano is acting as a coach for the opponent baseball team, Irina-sensei said I'm the coach from now," Konomi stated, pulling her red baseball cap deeper onto her head as she walked in the field, entering the bench where the players sat.

Her white heals clicked loudly on the concrete, her strides not wobbly even when her heals were 6 inches tall.

The male's eyes followed her movement as she walked, her hips swaying slightly as she took steps.

"K-Konomi-chan, what's with the outfit?" Nagisa warily questioned as he looked at the female beside him.

Konomi looked at the petite, pastel blue haired male and sighed, "I didn't have much choice, Irina-sensei pushed it onto me. She claimed that it was for distraction," the leggy lilac haired female explained as she lifted her foot up and placed it on the edge of the fence.

"Well, it sure is working."

Konomi gasped as a body was suddenly behind her, wrapping one arm right at her ribs while the other hand moved, their fingers sliding over her stomach before landing on her waist.

Konomi's eyebrows scrunched up as her nose started to twitch at an alarming speed, "Let me go, you perverted devil."

Karma snickered as he tightened the hold he had on the female, "Aw, but I don't want to."

"Last chance, let me go."

The red head sighed and let go, raising his hand up in surrender, "Fine, fine. Don't be so mad Konomi."

"I'm not mad, Karma," Konomi said as her eyes glared at Asano who sat on the opponent bench, "I'm utterly pissed that I have to wear this."

Class E who knew what kind of damage this lilac haired teen could do, shuddered as they stepped away from her, trying to escape the bone chilling, murderous aura she was releasing.

Karma on the other hand was snickering while secretly taking pictures, knowing it was worthy blackmail material for the future.

Konomi sighed and rubbed her temples. She wasn't embarrassed at what she was wearing.

She was actually confident with her body and didn't have any have any negative thoughts. But she wasn't happy that she had to openly flaunt her body. It made her feel like a slut.

And she couldn't understand why it had to be her all of the time.

Irina could have done this job perfectly fine. For the mother of gods, that blonde's job was to be seductive and distract males! And it didn't seem that appropriate for a student to be wearing these clothes, although it did cover most of her skin.

'There's no reason why I have to be the one doing this...! Yada-chan and Kurahashi-chan could have done it as well since they listen to Bitch-sensei!!!!!' Konomi thought in frustration.

But the female quickly grew serious, as her calculating eyes looked at the field.

'They've already figured we only can hit bunts. So they've come closer so they an get to the ball... What can I do...?'

The female chewed on her lips while her hands were crossed over her chest.

A small smirk suddenly appeared on her face, "Karma, come here."

The red head eyed the female with his golden orbs for a moment before stepping forward.

Konomi motioned the slightly taller male to tilt his head so she could whisper into his ear.

Karma obeyed and silently allowed her to whisper out her plan.

The red head smirked and devilishly walked onto the field with his baseball bat. Konomi nodded in approval and sent Asano who stared at her a innocent smile.

'You're going down, Asano...' She thought as she nodded at Karma.

The red head smirked for a moment before a bored look appeared on his face. He placed the baseball bat on his shoulder while one of his hand was in his pocket.

Noticing that Karma wasn't stepping up onto the mound the umpire spoke up, "Hey you! What's the matter? Go up and step onto the plate!"

The red haired teenager ignored the umpire and tilted his head to the side as he spoke, "Heeey, isn't this unfair, board chairman?" He questioned addressing the male that sat on the opposite bench.

Konomi smirked as her classmates looked at the red head in shock.

"You're defending by getting in the way like this, and yet the umpire isn't paying one bit of attention to it. Don't you find this strange?" Karma than looked at the fence where the other main campus students were watching, "Oh. That's right~ you're all idiots so stuff about defensive position just goes right over your heads!" Karma taunted as he stuck his tongue out mischievously.

"QUIT BITCHING ABOUT THE SMALL STUFF!!!"

"IF YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH IT, THEN WHY DON'T YOU TRY SHOWING SOME RESULTS HUH?!"

"DON'T GO COMPLAINING ABOUT THE DEFENSE WHEN ITS JUST AN EXHIBITION MATCH!!"

Karma laughed loudly while Konomi sent him a thumbs up, happy with the reaction they were receiving.

>>TIME SKIPS>>

The lilac haired teen sighed as she brushed a part of her hair out of her face.

'Asano sure is damn good at motivating them...' She thought as she looked at the baseball team that looked like gorillas on steroids.

Her eyes landed on a suspicious baseball on the floor next to her feet.

"Really Koro-sensei?" She whispered under her breath.

She shook her head out of the thought and looked back at the field.

'The ones who have the best reflex in our class is....' Konomi's lilac eyes landed on two males.

Her heeled feet kicked the baseball that was Koro-sensei's face, catching his attention.

"Nuah! That hurt Konomi-San!" The the white blob whined as tears appeared at the corner of his beady eyes.

The female sent her teacher an apologetic look.

"Koro-sensei I have a favor...."

"Nuah... Nufufufufu.... Alright, I will tell them," the octopus nodded as he listened to Konomi. Grinning widely he dug under ground leaving Konomi.

Konomi sweat dropped as he disappeared, "He's really crazy...."

Now on the field, Karma jumped slightly at the sudden appearance of Koro-sensei beside his feet.

"Don't just pop out beside my feet, Koro-sensei. Do you want me to step on you?" The red head questioned, sweat dropping slightly.

"Nurufufu~ Karma-kun, I have a message from our dear coach," Koro-sensei giggled as he mentioned Konomi, "She has told me to tell you 'the time has come to make use of your provocation from earlier.' She also told me to tell you, 'Hade ni yarinasai!' Nufufufufu...." (Translation: make it flashy)

A look of realization appeared in Karma's eyes as he smirked, "Oh... I see now..."

The red head stuffed one hand in his pants as he walked forward, "Isogai, our dear coach Konomi has instructed us to........."

"...... You're kidding...." Isogai laughed slightly as he eyed the female who stood in the bench, her lilac eyes gleaming under the strong sunlight.

Konomi smirked at the crowd got loud with whispers.

"The defensive position is....!"

Karma and Isogai who stood extremely close to the batter smiled.

"We're obviously defending from a position that will disrupt the batter's concentration but," Karma smirked mischievously, "The other side did the same thing earlier and the umpire didn't say a thing about it. You don't have a problem right board chairman?"

'I see....' The adult smiled under his breath, 'Directing that protest towards me earlier was a preparatory tactic enabling them to repeat what we did, while preventing me from raising complaint...' The dark haired man thought as his eyes moved to the young female who sat in the opposite bench.

Asano carelessly raised his hand, "Feel free to do so. Those who have been chosen won't let a thing like defensive position ruin their composure."

Isogai sighed as Karma locked his lips.

"Hah! You've went and said it!" Karma laughed, "Well then, we won't hold back."

The crowd became loud with whispers of disbelief.

Konomi fiddled with a piece of her hair as she looked at her two classmates that only stood few inches away from the batter.

'I said to do it but....' The female closed her eyes, 'Please let my observation be right...! I trust you two to not get hurt...!'

Sugino who was the pitcher laughed hesitantly as he looked at Konomi and then at the batter, 'Sorry Shindou, with this sort of defense, anyone's concentration will end up broken....'

Karma who stood extremely close to Shindou smirked as he leaned forward, "Oh don't mind us, and hit it superstar. We aren't standing in the pitchers way anyways."

"Fufu," a laugh made Shindou snap out of his shock, "What an absurd bluff. Please pay no mind and swing, Shindou-kun. Even if you break their bones class E will be the ones hinder by it." Asano evilly stated.

'Mocking me like this! If I scare you off with a huge swing, you'd bound to retreat!' Shindou thought as he swung as hard as he could.

Though without any problem, the two teenage males dodged.

Konomi smirked as she gripped the fence tightly with her hand, 'Kinetic vision trained by attempt assassination on Koro-sensei with Mach 20 speed has made both Karma and Yuma-kun one of the tops among our class. Dodging that swing should have been easier than bunting...!'

"A slow swing like that won't cut it...." A look of fear appeared in Shindou's face as Karma spoke, "Hey, next time, could you swing with an intent to kill?"

Konomi grinned a bit sadistically, the annoyance of her clothing and the heat and humidity of Japan's summer making her foul mood turn into bloodlust.

Her grin seemed to widen as Shindou's body that moved like a robot in need of oil hit a swinging bunt, making the ball fly in air.

Karma who saw the perfect chance jumped into the air, catching the ball with his bare hand and throwing it at the catcher who was Nagisa.

"The third base runner is out! Nagisa throw the ball to third base!" Isogai yelled pointing at the base.

As told Nagisa threw the ball making Kimura catch it.

"Kimura! Over to first base! Shindou isn't running so take your time!" Sugino yelled.

Even as the ball bounced and rolled, Sugaya grabbed it and ran to first base successfully getting Shindou out.

"The batter and runner are out...." The umpire whispered as he swat, "It's a triple play... G-Game over!!"

A sigh of relief escaped Konomi's lips as she slumped on a bench.

Class E cheered loudly as the main campus students groaned walking away from the field.

Konomi smiled slightly as she watched Sugino cheerfully talk to his former teammates of the baseball team.

"Don't I get a reward?"

Konomi jumped slightly and looked at Karma who suddenly appeared beside her.

"Hah? A reward? Why?" She questioned looking at the red head in confusion, her eyebrows knitting together.

The male smirked as he ran his fingers through his shaggy red hair, "I've risked the safety of my own body following your order, I deserve something, Ms. Captain."

Konomi's mouth dropped open slightly, "Y-Yūma-kun also risked his safety but he's not asking for anything."

"That's not true Konomi-chan, I would like a reward as well."

Konomi's lilac eyes widen as she looked at the ikemen who also sudden appeared.

The darker hair male was smiling with his eyes closed, his antenna on his head wiggling slightly.

"Ahahaha...." Konomi laughed as the two boy took a step closer, "Y-You know, my Mom told be to come home early today! I'll see you guys tomorrow!" The female sprang up from where she was standing and sprinted away from the scene.

'Ah, she ran away...' the class thought, sweat dropping, feeling slight pity for the female.

Karma and Isogai stared after her, shocked that the tall female was able to run at her usual speed with 6 inch heels.

Although extremely different in character, these two shared similar things.

First of all, they were boys who were at a certain hormonal stage of life and couldn't help but stare at Konomi's, yes, let's call it the tush as she ran off in her 6 inch heels.

And the other similarity was both teens had some sort of rivalry brewing between it.

Now everyone in class wondered, how was this all going to end?

A/N

Hi guys....

As many LAUSD students and United States students know, summer has ended even when it's like still extremely hot outside.

I'm now a Junior, which mean I have crazy amount of pressure and test for college preparation. So I won't be on wattpad as much, but!!!! Since I'm a bad student, I'll likely pop in and out when I should be studying.

Anyways, the picture ontop is a small comic I did, so hehe. I find it cute in a way.

And the video is how Karma and Isogai are badasses as they dodge the swinging bat. Jeez, why must they be so cool?

Anyways leave comments and opinions! Cause I really need it.

Another question, do you all want the triangle relation to go more out of control? Or make Konomi quickly get together with one of them?????

And please comment on my one shot
Fanfic! Do you guys want to see more KarmaXKonomi??? Or maybe IsogaixKonomi????
