Karasuma's eyes narrowed slightly. "I said we'll have a talk after class" it took all of Killua's willpower to walk away without another word, as soon as he got out of sight he started running. Why didn't he just give me the damn knife? It would have been over in seconds! He caught sight of a woodland creature flitting through the undergrowth and flung his knife out, cutting off its life with a single throw. I need to kill something. Because if he didn't, he might end up snapping and killing a person. He walked over to the carcass, it was a fox. Killua retrieved his knife and seethed, before stabbing at the fox again. "woah, you feeling alright?" he glanced over his shoulder to see Karma, who hadn't been in school today. "I'm not in the mood for your bullshit" he snapped, before kicking the fox's dead body a few feet. Karma frowned slightly. "Killua, I'm trying to be serious here" and he used my real name for once. Killua clenched his hand on the knife and turned, before slashing a gouge into the tree with it. "new fucking teacher's a sadistic bitch."

He spat, gripping the tree as to keep himself from stabbing something again. "I was already at my fucking wits end with him when he started hitting Kanzaki and some of the other students." Karma stiffened, he could kind of sense it by the way there was a sharp intake of breath. "then he proposed a 1 on 1 with a student, using a real knife" he growled, "and Karasuma fucking picked Nagisa. I was right there! I actually wanted to kill the damn bitch" he slammed his head into the tree, cracking the wood a bit. "and then he said I was dismissed, so I can't at least watch." although, it was most likely to keep him from interfering. Karma was silent for a few moments, "so your killing animals to blow off steam?" he growled and threw his knife again, this time it hit a curious raccoon. Said racoon fell out of the tree with a thump, landing near his feet. "well damn" he muttered, then Karma started to walk away. "alright, I'm just gonna leave you with your little fit" and then he was gone.

Killua waited. He waited for more than two hours and Karasuma didn't come back. Where the hell is he? He had made a small pile of dead animals as well near the school. One fox, two racoons, two rabbits, and three squirrels. He had just gutted a bird and was carrying it back, when he heard footsteps. Killua paused, and Karasuma came walking up towards the school. He froze when he saw the pile of dead animals, then glanced around. Killua walked over, his eyes snapped to him. He dropped the bird in the pile, then turned to him with his arms crossed. " 'I'll talk to you after class', it's been two fucking hours!" he yelled. Karasuma let out a sigh, "I got roped in on something directly after the fight, sorry" then he paused, sniffing. Is that... chocolate? His teeth gritted. "you went to a fucking sweets shop and ditched me in a forest." he shook his head. "it was not my intention-" he threw his knife again, this time catching a bird midflight. Karasuma blinked in surprise as the airborne creature fell and landed a few feet away from him. "enough, why didn't you give me the fucking knife?"

Karasuma put a hand on his shoulder. "listen. You would have killed him" he huffed. "hell yeah I would have, your point?" he looked Killua in the eye. "that wasn't a real assassination." he blinked. "then why the hell did he tell us to use a real knife?" he sighed. "Takaoka rules through fear. Most people would get nervous when they hold a real knife, he was planning on using that to his advantage" Killua looked away with a scowl. "I could have at least stabbed him" he muttered. "if you killed him, the entire class besides Karma would have seen it. How do you think they would have seen you then?" he growled. "it doesn't matter to me what they think!" he snapped, "I've never given a shit about what people think about me." that's partially a lie, I hate being seen as weak. But he had to admit that Karasuma had a point, and that his course of action was probably the best one. "but... you were right" he mumbled, then cleaned his knife and started walking.

Killua was walking with the class in the forest, bag over his shoulder and a new outfit today. He had decided to get something else to wear, because he only had one good outfit. So he decided on a navy blue tank top and some brown shorts, simple but fashionable. It was pretty hot, but the heat didn't really bother him. His other classmates however were complaining about it. "Nurfufufu, All right, we're here!" there was a gasp and he peeked out of the bushes, only to stiffen at what he saw. Fuck. It's a damn pool. Killua couldn't reveal his scars, not any time soon. The class cheered, people jumped in as well. Some of them played ball, others swam around, a few just started talking. Killua however, stayed in the shade with some girl named Hazama. Then Korosensei started to blow his whistle and call people out, ultimately killing most people's fun. He ignored that for the most part, until he blew a whistle at him and Hazama. "don't just sit there all day, swim!" he stiffened, then someone splashed water at him and he screamed. They all paused, then he got an idea. He can't swim can he? Or his tentacles get all swollen like with his head that one time.

Killua was on a midnight stroll, when he heard something. He activated Zetsu and leapt into a tree, peering down. One of the guys from his class was pouring something into the river. What... is it? "well done" his eyes snapped over to Shiro, who held out some cash. "here's your 100,000 dollar reward" what are these bitches planning? So Killua snapped a picture of it.. Shiro was holding out the cash to the guy as he was pouring something into a stream. Not only that, but Itona was behind him. Terasaka was working with these people and he didn't like it, Killua would find out what's going on and put a stop to it.

The next day, they were all at the pool. Terasaka was going to try to assassinate Kurosensei. But what's it have to do with the water... then it hit him. That smoke grenade, then Kurosensei acting weird. What if they have more tricks? Is that what they put into the water? Everybody except him was in the pool with a knife. "Killua! Get in!" Terasaka yelled. He shot him a glare, "No" Korosensei put a tentacle up. "now now Killu-" he walked over and looked him right in the eye. "I saw you last night, hell I even got a picture" the class was confused, but Terasaka looked uneasy and kind of scared. He activated En, then froze. What's that thing on the dam? That gun... it's not one. He grabbed Terasaka by the collar and shoved him in the pool as well. "what the hell!" there was more muttering, people were confused. He scrambled to get out of the water, but before he could shove him back in Terasaka squeezed the trigger. BOOM.

The dam exploded and the students started to get swept out, once that happened he saw Terasaka freeze. "he- wh- he never told me about this" Killua shot him a glare. "I hope you know this is your fault" he said darkly, then started bolting through the trees. He saw Nagisa being swept away and he dove in the water, to the horror of his classmate. "Killua!" he grabbed firmly onto his arm and shielded him from a stray branch that had been hurtling down stream. Before he had time to brace for impact, it slammed into them and Nagisa gasped as he hissed in pain. That definitely made a mark. And then there was a thump from nearby, and he heard Shiro. "long time no see Korosensei" Fuck. The octopus was occupied and he saw a few more people in danger. FOR THE LOVE OF- Killua grabbed Nagisa and threw him out of the water and onto the of the bank. After that he turned and dragged himself out as well. "Oh my god! Your bleeding!" he blinked, then glanced back to see that where the branch hit there was a tear and some blood.

Killua ignored it, setting his eyes on the girl who was about to fall. She was clinging onto a branch for dear life. He ran forward, crouching at the edge. "wait!" Sugino yelled. But Killua wasn't planning on stopping, that branch was about to snap. Suddenly Karma dropped something with a thump. "hey little dove, got something for ya" his eyes landed on his bag, which he wasn't sure how Karma was able to carry. His gun was in there, along with some bullets. He snatched it, grabbing out some backup rope he had. "who the hell carries that?" someone muttered. Killua edged out on the branch, then started to tie the rope around the girl's stomach. "this might hurt a little, sorry" she nodded, and he held a hand out after wrapping an end around his own body. "grab my hand" she removed one of her arms, then started slipping. Killua dove forward, grabbing her and leaping backwards just as the branch cracked. There was a small amount of cheering, but it wasn't over yet. Killua then got an idea. He grinned, then grabbed something out of his bag. He had kept his shirt as backup from yesterday, the weird spray was all over it and he was pretty sure it played a big part in whatever just happened.

So he leapt down, ignoring the shouts from his classmates. "Oi bitch!" he yelled, landing with a thump in the water. "what are you doing here?" he shot Shiro a glare. "I'm done with your bullshit" he hissed, just low enough for only the people on the ground to hear. If I can just provoke him... he turned to Itona. "resulting to dirty underhanded tricks for the win? What kind of loser are you? It just makes you seem weak" he saw Itona's pupils shift, he was losing his cool. Perfect. "Killua! He's not someone you can easily beat!" Korosensei yelled. Then he smirked a little, "you said you wanted to fight me right?" he said, slipping on his white T-shirt over his other one. He growled, then slammed a tentacle into him. It as fast, but he was too. So Killua whipped the shirt off and wrapped it around the tentacle, holding it in place. "commendable, Itona give him anoth-" suddenly Itona sneezed. Bingo. He heard a splash, the two on the side of the mountain had been saved. Then he heard Karma. "get em guys!" they all started jumping down, splashing Itona with water. He glanced up at Karma, who shot him a wink. He's nearly as good at this as I am.

Killua decided it was enough, he climbed back up quietly and sighed as he watched them splash Itona. "I caught on to your plan pretty quick little dove, sounds like something I'd have thought up" Karma jumped down as well, and he watched as they all screwed around. He sat down cross legged and let himself smile a little. Maybe I do fit in here a little. He thought, as he watched Karma get thrown into the water. Everybody started splashing and having a good time, but he still felt something was missing. Killua's smile faded and he slipped his mini fishing rod out of his pocket. I miss you Gon, I wish you could be here with me. He heard footsteps, then glanced behind him to see Karasuma standing there. "there you guys are, I was wonderi-" suddenly he froze, eyes widened with shock. "huh?" he quickly walked over and put a hand on his back, which was when he remembered that he got stabbed with a branch. "oh, I forgot about that" he pointed down at where everybody was goofing off. "Itona came back and everybody got swept downstream, ended up having to take a few hits"

The hand shifted a little closer to his wound. "what happened here?" he sighed. "a branch was hurtling downstream and it was me or Nagisa, that hit might have immobilized him" he said, then slipped a small first aid kid out of his bag. Always carry one of them on you. But the blood was pretty much in the center of his back, he couldn't reach it on his own. Well, he already knows that I'm an assassin and how shitty my family is. "let's go somewhere quieter"

They went to Karasuma's office, and he just happened to pass by Ms. Bitch on the way. "holy crap, what happened to you?" he shrugged. "nothing much" he slammed the door shut, then sighed. "why didn't you just patch it up right then and there?" he slipped off his shirt, and he glanced over his shoulder to see Karasuma had a horrified expression. "yeah, I don't go swimming with other people" he had more scars than he could count, and he wasn't planning on showing them. He handed Karasuma the med kit. "I can't do it myself because of placement, there were too many people there to ask you for help either" he nodded, then got to work. "if you don't mind me asking... how did this happen?" he snorted. "that's what my family calls, 'training' " he said, "electrocution, whipping, injected with poisons, ex." the hands paused for a second. "oh yeah, I'm trained to endure torture by the way. What good assassin isn't?" he said half jokingly. "I have no words"
