C h a p t e r ➸ 14

I personally think that this chapter is crap. I do not like the way it is written at all but I have no idea how else I could write it. Not to mention that I didn't have the best day following this chapter. But, the next one will be better so yeah. Enjoy, I guess......

"He's making this way to obvious," Kaji mumbled under her breath. Her icy eyes were glued to Korosensei who was in a frenzy right now. It was pretty entertaining to watch as he panicked about not being this bra stealer. Kaji just really found very funny all together. Well, if you get rid of the fact that Korosensei had her bra size written next to her name on the roll. She wasn't to happy about that.

Not matter how funny Kaji found it, she couldn't look past the fact that Korosensei was making it way to obvious. Even that stupid yellow octopus wasn't dumb enough to show his crimes so clearly.

Kaji rose from her desk as Korosensei made a mad dash out of room. Kaji didn't listen to what the other students were talking to each other about, she didn't really want to hear it. She walked up and picked the roll up to study it. She hoped that she might be able to pick out another persons handwriting but, with such little written and it being quite small it was pretty hard to tell.

"If I wanted to hide my crime," Karma's voice snapped info Kaji's mind. Granted, she can't say she was to happy to see what he was holding in his hand. "I wouldn't make it so obvious."

"Now that's just idiotic," Kaji said as she tried to remove the image of a basketball wearing a bra out of her mind.

The atmosphere in the air changed as it seemed to wash over the class. Kaji just couldn't see Korosensei doing something like this and making it so obvious. Kaji could see him doing a crime like this though.

"Kaji-chan," Karma called to her. "What?" Kaji answered, her voice barely above a whisper. "Your coming too," he said, leaving the red haired girl confused. "To what?" She asked. Karma waited a second, he seemed to chuckle ever so slightly. "We're going to see if Korosensei is really behind this." Kaji didn't really want to question how but her curiosity did take the best of her, and she ended up agreeing to go along with them.

Kaji should of expected to see Korosensei at some poor girl's house in the middle of the night. Kaji grumbled under her breath as she pulled her hood back over her head. But still, Kaji found herself searching for an answer of why he tried to hide everything in the school building. Well if he was trying to get rid of his evidence then he did a very poor job of it. He surly knew better than that.

Kaji found herself even more puzzles when Korosensei grabbed ahold of someone in a yellow helmet. Not even a moment later, Korosensei was swallowed up by all the blankets hung up to dry.

Itona. Kaji could barely see him hovering over the rim of the tower. Of corse, Kaji feels almost stupid about not realizing this plan. Some assassination attempt from Shiro and Itona.

~

He was abandoning him. Shiro was just going to leave Itona. Leave him to die in his pit of pain and agony. It pained Kaji to see Itona like this. Just balling on the ground in pure pain.

Not only that, but Kaji could feel eyes burning her back. She didn't like the vibe Shiro was giving off, along with the fact that his eyes seemed to be glued onto her.

No matter what Itona had done or what he had tried, Korosensei wasn't going to give up on him. But, with those tentacles stuck to his head, what could they do?

"We need to get his mind off of the tentacles. Then we can safely remove them," Korosensei stated. Kaji found herself searching her mind, wondering how the hell they were going to pull that off.

"I'll do it," Kaji found herself saying. All eyes were on her now as she walked up to the small boy. She grabbed the back of his shirt and lifted him off the ground. He felt like some sort of rag doll, just completely limp in her grip.

"I'll get his mind off of the tentacles." Kaji practically mumbled that under her breath. Staring down at Itona, wondering how she was going to do this.

Itona was very light. After a cloth made up of anti-tentacles fabric wrapped around his head, Kaji had just stared to drag him to where she wanted. She couldn't take him to her house, from it being to far away and the fact that her whole class was following her. She had no idea how long Itona would be out so she just decided to lean him against a tree and sit in front of him and wait till he wakes up.

As she waited, Kaji just kept on going through different dialogue over and over through her head. Starting to wonder if he will even wake up. That and Kaji just wanted to know what ran through his head. Kaji wished she could just read people's minds sometimes. She found herself wondering how people think of others and why they do what they do. Maybe that would help her understand her surroundings more? If anything, Kaji was getting off track by now.

Right about that time, Itona's eyes fluttered open. He looked very dazed, like he was in some sort of trance. Not to mention all the colors that filled his eyes. Showing how attached he was to those tentacles. Just staring at them gave Kaji a troubled feeling. What would drive someone to do this to themselves? Itona was a great example for this. He looked terrible, seeing him on the ground screaming in agony. Kaji was just to curious for her own good.

A low groan came from Itona. Kaji felt his chilling gaze lock onto her. She didn't want to meet his eyes. "Where, am I?" He asked with heavy breaths. He was obviously in quite a bit of pain, but not like before. He at least looked better than he did right then and there.

"Dose it hurt?" Kaji found herself saying, keeping her head down at her lap. The only reason Kaji offered to calm Itona down was to figure out his own thought process. Kaji wasn't even sure her idea of calming him would even work.

There wasn't any reply from Itona. Just a dead silence of the night. Kaji was aware of his situation, but she felt like that was only a small piece of the puzzle.

Kaji stiffened, picking out her words before she spoke once more. "Why did you do this to yourself?" There was still no reply. "Did you want power? Or, did you want to prove yourself to someone?" Kaji gazed up, trying to met Itona's yellow eyes through his grey hair.

The more Kaji studied Itona, the more she seemed to understand. He was rather small for his age, and if his family worked for a cell phone company he must be knowledgeable with machinery. Could that be the only thing he had? Only his knowledge to rely on all alone on the streets.

"Or," Kaji said, "we're you weak?" It was very fast, with the grey tentacles sporting from Itona's head and wrapping around Kaji's neck. Just barely grazing her skin. Her icy eyes met his yellow ones. Full of fury and pain. And the power from the tentacles.

"Ah," Kaji breathed. "Your eyes are pretty frighting." Kaji's hand reached up to cover her own eyes. "Do you want to kill me?" Although Kaji could not see the small boy, she could feel the doubt in the air. He would never kill her, no matter how much he wanted to.

"Then kill me." Kaji felt him flinch, and how his eyes shifted from fury to almost, scared. Kaji's icy eyes. Shining a cold glare, almost full of complete bloodlust.

Slowly the tentacles retracted from Kaji's neck. Laying lazily at Itona's sides.

"Dose it hurt?" Kaji asked once mode. Not removing her icy gaze from Itona. Slowly but surly, Itona nodded.

Kaji felt her words catch in her throat. She knew that he was definitely more calm than he was before, but of felt harder for Kaji to get her words out.

"Your apart of class-E," she said, "so that stupid octopus won't give up on you." Kaji didn't understand why this was so difficult for her. She's having just speaking. But why? It's not that hard?

What surprised Kaji was hearing a faint chuckle come from the boy in front of her. Kaji gazed up, feeling like a heavy weight was lifted off her shoulders when she saw how the tentacles' power had faded fro Itona's eyes. "It's hard to explain," he said, "but I understand."

Itona rose to his feet, with the shriveled up tentacles following behind. "I'm threw with all this power."
