Summary of previous chapter: Isuju kissed Karma for a demonstration on how to use the kissing technique. Karma fainted and after he regained consciousness, he chased Isuju to the roof and then Isuju fell of the roof and was caught by Kaneki and Asano. Kaneki talked to her first and then he left. Asano then spoke to her and gave her a stack if notes. He wanted her to go back to Class A to help him with his Subeta problem.

"And I want your company."

A gush of wind blew past.

Isuju smiled as she gladly took the stack of notes from Asano's hand.

"Asano," Isuju said as she looked up, and pointed to a cloud," doesn't that cloud look like Subeta making a pedo face?"

Asano turned around and almost puked at the monstrosity of the cloud, he gagged," strangely, it does." To him, a cloud doesn't deserve to have that shape, it's a disgrace to all the clouds.

He then turned around to face Isuju again.

But she had already ran away.

Isuju

Isuju breathed heavily in and out. She buried her face in the stack of notes as it was flushed.

She felt a bit dizzy as her mind replayed the sentence said by Asano.

I want your company.

Isuju had no idea whether to be happy or sad. Happy because someone had actually liked her enough to want her company.

Sad and frustrated because here she was, swooning over a guy who had humiliated her about 5 months ago.

Isuju put down the stack of notes on the floor and took a random flower from the floor. She then started plucking the petals.

"He likes me, he likes me not, he likes me, he likes me not, he likes me, he likes me not, he likes me, he likes me not, he likes me, he likes me not, he likes me," Isuju let go on the last flower petal and stared at the bald stalk.

She held the stalk tightly and broke it into half. "Shit, shit, shit," she muttered over and over again.

"What are you doing?" Karma peered over her shoulder.

"N-Nothing," Isuju picked up the stack of notes and clutched it tightly to her chest. She felt guilty when she saw Karma.

"You're a bad liar," Karma said as he noticed the stack of notes," what are those for?"

"It's notes that Asano gave me," Isuju replied as she tried to escape.

Karma then held her back and eyed her carefully," I'll help you carry half the stack, that's a lot of notes."

"No thanks, I'm strong enough," Isuju said," okay bye."

Isuju then ran as fast as she could. Trying to push herself to ran away, motivating herself by telling herself that she would actually lose her life if she didn't continue running.

Isuju ran back to the classroom panting heavily. Rio looked at her and teased," so how did it go with Asano?"

"N-Nothing much," Isuju replied," oh and if you see Karma, tell him I'm dead or something."

She then proceeded to hide under her table. The classroom door was soon busted down by a familiar person.

Seriously, what does he have against doors? Isuju thought.

"Karma! Isuju is under her table," Rio pointed.

Isuju cursed at Rio as she hugged the stack of papers even tighter. She was then pulled out from under her table by Karma.

"Show me the papers," Karma ordered.

"No," Isuju said as she tore the papers, sorry Asano.

"I'm getting more curious after you would go that far to not tell me," Karma frowned.

"Guys! We have to go for assembly now," Isogai informed the class.

"Go," Karma said to Isuju," I'll find you after assembly."

"Aren't you goin-"

"I'm skipping."

Main School Building

Isuju felt that the school still had that same smell. Honestly, to her, the main school building smelt like antibiotics. It had a sweetly sick smell.

Class E proceeded to the assembly hall to line up. The other students started pouring in soon after.

"Oh look!" An oh-so-familiar shrill voice said as she pointed at Isuju. The people from Class E winced at her voice.

"The pathetic dumbass that fell into Class E is blending in with the other idiots really well!" Subeta laughed and she sashayed away.

Isuju gritted her teeth. She had really wanted to show Subeta the middle finger there and then, but she didn't want to create trouble for her and her classmates.

An old man standing the podium soon began talking. Isuju couldn't bother to listen as her anger clouded her mind. However, there was one sentence said that caught her attention.

"... If you are negligent, you'll end up becoming like a certain group of hopeless someones," the old man chuckled. The rest of the student body began laughing at Class E.

To Isuju's surprise, Class E couldn't care less about the rest of the Class laughing at them. Sure, they felt a tinge of annoyance but it wasn't really bothering them much.

To her, it annoyed her a lot. She had wanted to kick the face of the old man but she knew that that wasn't the right way to deal with matters right now. She held her anger in and waited silently.

Soon assembly was over and Class E was dismissed. She had followed Nagisa to the vending machine before returning to class. Then, two boys approached Nagisa.

"Oi, Nagisa, you guys are kinda forgetting your place aren't you?" One of them said as he smiled, showing his ugly yellow teeth.

"Laughing it up during the assembly... Just think about the trouble you caused for those around you," the other obese boy said.

"And little lady, I suggest you return to the classroom without him, things are gonna get ugly," the two of them stared at Isuju in a pervertic manner.

"I couldn't bother less about what you say," Isuju replied, she actually couldn't care less. Compared to what Subeta had said to her before, this was nothing.

"Huh? Keep your eyes on the floor, both of you, that's where Class E belongs," the other boy continued," after all, there's no more hope for you anyway."

Isuju decided that Nagisa could handle this situation by himself as Nagisa signaled to her not to intervene.

"SAY SOMETHING CLASS E!" The boys pushed Nagisa back against the wall.

"I'LL KILL YOU!"

Isuju wanted to laugh. She and Nagisa was thinking about the exact same thing.

"And yet it looks like you've never killed someone before."

Nagisa's literally glowed with bloodlust, and he took his drink from the vending machine and left.

That was so cool, Isuju stared in awe. He took the drink and left like a boss. Nobody else could ever pull off something like that.

The two boys were left there, shocked. Once they had spotted Isuju, however, they recovered themselves and began taunting her.

Isuju bent down to take the drink from the vending machine and she said," give it up already, I can sense how scared you are just by listening to your voices."

She then looked up at them with her eyes. If looks could kill, the boys wouldn't just be dead, they would be dead and their souls would be managed by Satan personally.

"R-R-Run!" The obese boy fled as fast as he could, leaving the other boy behind. If that boy was running against Koro-sensei, Koro-sensei will win by only a close call. The other boy ran after him soon after.

Isuju opened the packet of chocolate milk and started drinking it. Little did she know that someone was coming up behind her.

"What are you still doing here?" A familiar voice asked her from behind. Isuju spurted out a little of her chocolate milk from her mouth from slight surprise.

"Don't just come up behind me like that," she patted her chest while the person patted her back.

"So," he started," why did you run away just now?"

Shit, Isuju thought. She couldn't run away from this now.

"B-Because, I was gonna s-say that I couldn't accept the notes," Isuju said to Asano," which by the way, is torn to shreds."

She could feel Asano's eyes staring intently at her.

"I'm really sorry!" She immediately said," Karma wanted to see the stack so I ran away. Then I did the smartest thing on earth which was to hide under my table which was next to his. He found me and I had no choice but to tear the thing to shreds and I'm really sorry, I know you had to risk your life or something-"

"Okay here," Asano shoved another stack of notes into her face," so shut up already."

"Wha- How?"

"I knew that you would lose the first stack of notes, so my instincts told me to photocopy another stack," Asano said.

"Thank you so much!" She wrapped her arms around Asano," okay bye! I have classes."

Asano was left there, in happiness, feeling her touch lingering on his body.

But little did anyone know that a pair of eyes was watching them behind a wall. The girl gritted her teeth and frowned. She stomped her feet onto the ground. If she had weighed a tad bit heavier, and her make up was thicker, the ground would have cracks by now.

Class E

As soon as Isuju returned to class, she shoved the notes in her bag so that Karma wouldn't know she had another stack.

A sudden grip on her shoulder shocked her as she stood up from her seat.

"Oh my fudging god," she muttered as she hit the person in the face.

"Not exactly the best way to greet someone who you're trying to get the good side on," Karma said as he licked her hand that was on his face.

"Ew, what the heck," Isuju cleaned her hand on his sleeve.

"Wanna ditch?" Karma lifted his bag over his shoulder.

"Sure," she replied. It was the last period of the day anyway, and it was science, so she couldn't be bothered to stay.

Instead of going to either of their houses to slack, they went to an isolated area somewhere nearby their classroom.

Isuju and Karma relaxed their bodies and fell backwards onto the soft grass under the tree's shade.

"You haven't told me about it yet," Karma said.

"About what?"

"The stack of papers Asano gave to you," Karma replied.

Suddenly, everything went silent and Isuju turned her back away. She was racking her brain to come up with lies to prevent Karma from investigating any further.

"Don't bother trying to lie," Karma noticed her flustering," you're an extremely bad liar."

Isuju sighed, she had no choice but to tell the truth, but she decided to twist the facts.

"It's my notes," Isuju said," I left them in my locker last year as I had forgotten to take them."

"Oh, is that so?" Karma replied casually.

"Yes, that is so,"

Surprisingly, he didn't ask any more questions.

It was a rather breezy afternoon. The weather wasn't exactly helping them to stay awake.

What turns out to be a short period of slacking turned out to be long time for a nap.

Both of them had their legs and hands intertwined with each other. They remained in that position throughout the nap. Isuju's head was buried in Karma's chest and she was sleeping peacefully.

And that was only unknown to Isuju.

Isuju

The people in heaven painted the sky different shades of orange. The clouds that floated around freely had a weird purple hue. The yellowish-orange sun was already setting, and it made Isuju's and Karma's shadow grow longer. Their shadows soon separated as they bid farewell.

As Isuju walked, she heard a familiar high pitched voice coming from a dark alley. So she peeked into the dark alley and she was utterly shocked by what she saw and heard.
