Karma's Twin Sister

Part 72

"I honestly never wished to revisit this chapter of my life." Korosensei began as he told us his dark past. "that summer on the island, Mr. Karasuma has said there is more to a good assassin than what meets the eye."

"those words are exceptionally true in my case. You see, if this classroom represents my first time as a teacher, all things considered, I think it's fair to say I've more than risen to the challenge." He explains. "After all, I am a gifted improviser"

Gasps were heard as some had come to a certain conclusion. "then you mean..."

"Yes," Korosensei confirmed their suspicions. "Until two years ago, I am the assassin known as The Reaper."

"and one more, whether you kill me or not when March approaches I am doomed to death's gate. Either I go alone or I take the earth with me. That's the only aspect of the future assassinating me can change."

**************

"well, that was quite the story, who knew The Reaper we fought a few whatever weeks ago was just a cheap imitation." (f/n) commented on her way home with Karma walking beside her.

Karma kept silent the entire way as (f/n) continued to rant on and on about how sad Korosensei's childhood is and the betrayal of the protege he himself trained.

"Hey Karma," he hummed in response.

"Will you also betray me one day?"

'...who knows.' is what he would say as a joke if he was asked this question at any other time.
Today however he couldn't even bring himself to make eye contact with the person.

*************

The end draws near, set on March 13th which is supposedly going to be the graduation for Kunugigaoka junior high school.

Today marks January 6 and the number of students hatching assassination plot over the holidays was precisely zero.

"I hate the cold." (f/n) whined bundling herself in layers and layers of blankets.

"it's like a freaking oven in here," Karma said in t-shirt and shorts half-dead from the tremendous heat coming from his sister's room. "How much fossil fuel do you think is powering your room alone."

"there's a wind turbine outside powering everything doofus and since when do you care about the ecosystem," (f/n) frowned still shivering from the cold. "now shut the door I'm feeling a draft."

"yeah right." He looked at the thermostat currently displaying the absolute maxed out temperature. "how are you not dead, I'm turning it down."

Minutes later...

"9** what is your emergency."

"yeah, I need an ambulance stat," Karma answered. "My sister is suffering from hypothermia."

"ok, sir hold on, for now, get her to somewhere warm."

"it is warm..." He said looking at the temperature. "in fact, I can probably make dinner with this kind of heat."

...

"and yes it is hypothermia." He repeated.

*************

"It's not like you to call us all out here like this." Terasaka said. "so what gives Nagisa."

"there's something I want to talk about." Nagisa began. "I think instead of killing Korosensei we should try to save him."

"save him?" Mimura repeated. "like keeping him from self-detonating."

"well, personally I don't really care if this world does come to an end." (f/n) stood atop a tree. "Life is just a long way of killing time." she quoted.
