(O.D.D.- I added Frame of Mind by Tristam & Braken.  And recently, I learned that the fake God of Death has silver hair......(O_O)........now I have to rewrite every 'blonde' as 'silveret' in The God of Death chapter.  Let's see how this will go..... (・–・)ノ)

Koro-Sensei gazed at the old TV in the classroom.

The yellow octopus gazed at the picture of Tsuna on the screen as the newsman droned on with his report.

Koro-Sensei sighed softly and shook his head.

"Tsuna-kun......"

The yellow octopus then looked at his recently finished yearbooks.

He opened one of them and found a picture of Tsuna making a peace sign at the camera as he stood beside Karasuma and Irina, who were smiling along with the brunet; Koro-Sensei himself was beside Tsuna, ruffling brown looks with one tentacle.

Koro-Sensei teared up slightly before sighing once more.

He quickly closed the book.

The octopus wiped his tears away and grinned, looking around at the classroom.

"Now to clean it up before the Graduation Ceremony, nurufufufufu~!"

//(4 Days Later)//

The students would practice their fighting skills and brainstorm their ideas to get out; they made sure to hide their plans when in the view of the camera in the corner.

As Class E continued to plan their escape, the door opened once more.

"You can only see them for five minutes--!"

"Oh~that's plenty of time!"

The students turned to look and blinked in surprise.

"Bitch-Sensei!"

The blonde smiled and cooed at them, causing them to sweatdrop.

"OH~! My sweet, students~!"

They noted that her eyes were a little puffy; the Class went quiet.

'.....Of course....she saw the news.....'

But suddenly--Irina went up to all of the students and kissed them deeply, alarming the Class.

'WHAT THE F****************K!?'

Irina then turned to the door.

"Alright~I'm done~!"

The one of the soldiers opened it, looking confusedly at the blonde.

"Wha--?  It's only been--"

"Just let me through."

The door shut and Irina was gone; Ryoma fumed slightly.

"What the he** was that about!?"

Kotaro made a noise, bringing everyone's attention to him.

The glasses-wearing teen brought out something from his mouth, which surprised the others.

The ravenet smiled as some of the other students also took a small part of a device or a piece of paper out of their mouths.

"My explosives set!"

~~

Bang!

The group escaped through another destroyed door, finally breathing fresh air as they looked at the night sky.

After running a good distance from the building that imprisoned them, the group heard a voice.

"Fufu...took you lot long enough--even though I gave you guys directions.."

The students turned their heads and found Irina standing there, a small smirk on her lips.

"Bitch-Sensei! And how did you even fit all of that into your mouth!?"

The teacher merely chuckled eerily, causing the Class to sweatdrop.

"Right....this is Bitch-Sensei we're talking about....."

They found some of their gear ready.

Irina sighed as she watched them put them on.

"As you already know, Koro-Sensei is up at the top of the mountain within the barrier.  I warn you guys, now that you've been broken out, Houjou's team will be after you while being positioned at random parts on the mountain."

The students put on the last of their gear and grinned at Irina.

"You got it, Bitch-Sensei!"

"We'll make it to the top!"

"Don't worry!"

"You and Karasuma-Sensei mean the world to us!"

Irina smiled at their enthusiasm.

"Get going, runts."

The young assassin squad disappeared into the night.

"HAI!"

~~
<<(Nagisa's Home)>>

The bluenet snuck into his room and found his special P.E. gear.

As he put it on, he felt a chill go up his spine; he whipped his head around and found his mother there.

"M-Mother!?"

Hiromi smiled darkly.

"So....this is what you mean by 'wanting to try something where I could give it my all'?"

Nagisa shook.

"Pl-Please, Mother! I...need...to go.....to my....teacher!"

Hiromi gazed quietly at the bluenet before speaking.

"If you think this is the correct path for you....then go."

Nagisa blinked his eyes owlishly in his dark room.

".................Eh?"

Hiromi turned the light on.

"You even considered my wishes when choosing your future schools. If it's a choice that you've made.....then it's probably the right choice for you."

She smiled tentatively at the bluenet.

"Go on. Just don't be reckless."

Nagisa's eyes lit up and he smiled at his mother, grabbing his P.E. jacket while leaping out of the apartment window, alarming Hiromi.

"I'LL BE GOING THEN!"

Hiromi's jaw was dropped as she watched her son safely land on the next building.

"...And....How is that not reckless?!"

~~

The group dashed through the streets, sticking close to the shadows.

Finally, they made it to the edge of the mountain.

They all stood on one building, eying the place where they learned, laughed, cried and assassinated.

Yuuma then motioned for the others to move.

Koro-Sensei's assassination....was within 3 hours.

~~

The group spread out once they made it to the forest.

Itona sent out his drones with Ritsu piloting a few of them.

Sticking to the shadows, Class E took down Craig's troops one by one.

Karma had fun with the ones that had bullied his classmates and pissed him off.

Let's just say.....those guys got a lot more than what Grip received on the Island Trip--mustard in the eyes, chili peppers in the mouth, and the scent of sh** shoved up their noses.

Karma smirked darkly at the group.

"Hehehe....guess you guys don't have this kind of pain-tolerance."

The rest of Class E sweatdropped.

'Demon......but one that's on our side--thank goodness.'

~~

Crack!

.....That was the sound of Sumire landing--full weight with no restraints--on the back of one of the soldiers while holding a small boulder.

Yoshida sweatdropped.

"....Did you....just kill him?"

Sumire merely laughed sheepishly and 'innocently'.

"No~I just gave him a nice, warm hug."

~~

'Where did they go!?'

Some of the soldiers looked around frantically at the shadows.

Suddenly, two of them collapsed to the ground.

More followed.

Rinka and Ryuunosuke smiled slightly with success in knocking out the soldiers with sleeping darts.

They moved on to their next targets as their classmates tied up the sleeping men.

~~

Finally, Class E took down all of the lackeys of Craig's team.

All of the men had underestimated the group of students because Karasuma was the one who told them false information.

So defeating the entire group of men was a piece of cake.

But now.....

"Heh....looks like we've underestimated you guys."

The students swallowed slightly at the sight of Craig standing above them.

The ravenet smirked, reaching a hand for his glasses, which would release his 'predator' mode.

"Looks like I won't have to hold back to much. Excellent."

Before he could remove his glasses though, tranquilizer darts were shot at his neck, but he flicked his wrist out, releasing his glasses, and caught the darts, keeping his gaze on the students as he dropped them to the ground.

"I suggest you use my soldiers' guns on me instead of simple darts..."

Craig reached for his glasses once more.

"Now then--"

Karma suddenly darted out of one of the trees and swung his stun gun at Craig.

The ravenet sighed and dodged before retaliated with a kick to the redhead's gut; Karma landed in a nearby bush.

"Hmph, sneaky brat--"

Craig widened his eyes as a rock nearly lit his face; he dodged in time to let it pass by his head harmlessly.

When he looked at the thrower, Sugino, there was immediately a flash of bright light to blind him--from Yukiko.

The Class broke up into teams as they made hit-and-run moves on Craig, attacking and retreating before the fearsome man could retaliate.

Slowly...Craig was getting pushed into a corner.

However, on accident, one of the students knocked Craig's glasses off.

Craig's smirk widened and he suddenly shoved all of the students away with a new found strength.

The Class recovered and looked at the man with horror.

Craig cracked his neck, smashing his glasses under his foot; his eyes glinted ominously.

"....Heh...how unfortunate for you brats.....but don't worry," The ravenet was suddenly standing in front of Sugino, cocking a fist back. "I'll only use my hands to take you all out."

Sugino widened his eyes and shut them, bracing for an impact in his gut.

Crack!

Craig was suddenly sent flying back; the students stared with wide eyes.

"Hahaha! Maa~that was really close!"

Sugino snapped his eyes open in surprise; he felt a hand ruffle his hair roughly.

He stared up into warm, hazel eyes.

"T-Ta-Takeshi-san!?"

The said ravenet grinned--although there was a hint of sharpness in it as he turned to look at Craig.

"Yo, Soldier-san...."

Sshhh....

Takeshi drew his katana out of its sheath.

"Ya' know.....it's not nice to beat up kids."

Hazel eyes glared coldly at Craig; the grin became fake.

Takeshi tapped his blade on his shoulder as Craig got onto his feet; the man sneered.

"Hmph.  Are you the one who's going to fight me?"

Takeshi laughed.

"Hahahaha, no way!  You're someone else's prey."

Craig scowled, not noticing a certain skylark jumping from one of the trees and landing behind him.

"I am no 'pre'--"

"Herbivore."

Craig turned his head in time to get a tonfa in the face; he was sent flying for the second time that night.

The man actually broke through a tree from the impact he received.

Kyoya's eyes were narrowed sharply as he glared at Craig who was quick to get up.

"For disturbing the peace and for trying to act like a carnivore, I will bite you to death."

The skylark and Craig engaged each other in battle.

While they were fighting, Takeshi moved the students to the side.

Just then, Hayato, Lambo and Ryohei came out of the forest.

Hayato looked briefly at Kyoya and Craig before bringing his gaze to the students.

"Alright.  Looks like you guys are alright.  Let's head to the top, no?"

The silveret turned around, about to lead the way before Touka spoke up.

"Gokudera-san!  What about Hibari-san!?  Houjou is three time's Karasuma-Sensei's strength--Hibari-san can't handle Houjou by himse--!"

Hayato cut her off with an amused chuckle; emerald eyes glanced back the brunette.

"Really?  Well....I'll have you know that the Skylark is about ten times the strength of that Houjou-b*****d." 'Maybe one hundred actually....'

Touka blinked in surprise, but the Class glanced back at the fighting pair with worry; Hayato sighed exasperatedly.

"Don't worry.  Kyoya'll catch up in a few minutes."

The group then went on to their destination: the top of the mountain.

Nagisa called out to the silveret.

"Ano, Gokudera-san, why are you here?"

The Storm was silent; Karma let realization flit across his face.

"Oh......Tsuna-Sensei told you to do this."

Hayato nodded curtly without facing the group.

The Class E grew silent as they continued to run.

Megu then spoke up.

"Arigatou, Gokudera-san, for helping us."

Hayato waved a hand over his shoulder.

"Don't mention it."

<<(With Kyoya)>>

Kyoya drove one of his tonfas at Houjou's gut, but the other dodged, causing the skylark to smash through a tree, which was behind Houjou.

Craig dashed towards Kyoya and feinted a punch before rotating on the ball of his foot to send a kick to the skylark's jaw.

Crack!

Craig smirked when he felt contact......but......

The man blinked in surprise when Kyoya's face didn't even budge; silver-blue eyes narrowed into slits.

"Weak, herbivore."

Kyoya tossed his right tonfa into the air and grabbed Craig's foot.

The ravenet shifted his stance and threw Craig into a tree.

The soldier was able to regain his footing in mid air and simply landed slightly on the tree before landing on the ground.

Craig dusted his shoulder off, cracking his neck, smirking widely.

"Hm....you might be a good warm up before I go after those brats."

Kyoya rose an eyebrow, catching his tonfa as it came down from the sky; he twirled both of them before shifting into a fighting stance.

Kyoya's eyes flashed purple for a brief second as he spun his heel; the chain stored in his left tonfa fell out.

The skylark lashed out with it at Craig's face; the other ravenet smirked and caught the chain.

They both tugged on the chain, rooting themselves to the spots they stood on, keeping their positions a stalemate.

Suddenly, Craig spoke up.

"You.....you know the Sawada-kid, right?"

Kyoya was silent; the other continued to speak while widening his smirk.

"Really, I wouldn't know how you would be related in any way with him, but I bet you're happy he's dead now."

Kyoya's expression was shadowed by his bangs.

"...............Oh?"

The ravenet was suddenly standing in front of Craig; the chain went slack.

Kyoya crouched down before nailing Craig in the jaw with his tonfa.

The skylark flicked his left wrist and the chain connected to his tonfa wrapped around Craig's neck.

Kyoya spun on his heel and smashed Craig through a few trees before retracting his chain.

He caught Craig by the throat as the man came flying back.

Kyoya lifted his head, revealing eerie, glowing, purple eyes

Some blood dribbled from Craig's forehead as he stared with wide eyes at Kyoya.

The skylark inclined his head, watching as fear slowly seeped into Craig's eyes.

Kyoya finally expressed a readable emotion that night.

He smirked darkly.

"........I'm going to beat the sh** out of you."

(O.D.D.- Whatever happened next....use your imaginati-- σ(^_^; ))
(Kyoya- May there be lots of blood and gore. (￣ー￣))
(O.D.D.- Kyoya-san! Σ（・□・；）)
(Kyoya- It's true. I'm gonna beat this herbivore to a bloody pulp. (¬_¬))

<<(With Class E)>>

The group crossed the barrier.

They caught there breath after their little run and then--

"Nurufufufufu~looks like you've all made it~!"

The Class felt their hearts leap to their throats as they quickly lifted their heads to see a certain, yellow octopus standing there.

Koro-Sensei smiled brightly.

"Konbanwa, my dear students."

The students cried out, tears stinging the corners of their eyes as they ran up tot he octopus, hugging the other or playfully stabbing at him with their Anti-Sensei knives.

Koro-Sensei then spoke.

"....My dear students........you do know....that you can't get me out of here."

They all stilled at that.

"B-But--!"

"I have no way to get out of this barrier.......and I would, instead, have you all to kill me."

They looked at him with anguish....but they knew he was right......just like Tsuna.

They glanced at each other, before smiling sadly.

Finally, Rio stepped forward, holding a small box up to the yellow octopus.

"Koro-Sensei!"

The yellow octopus looked over at the other and blinked in surprise.

A small cake was presented to him.

"Happy Birthday.....er, right? Ehehehe......"

Koro-Sensei practically drooled, causing the students to sweatdrop but smile fondly.

Soon enough, Karasuma and Irina were able to enter the barrier; the ravenet said he had told a little lie of 'bringing the students back into custody' to meet up with them, and Irina was free to simply follow.

Hayato side-eyed the Agent.

"Oi, did you see Kyoya on your way up here?"

Karasuma chuckled wearily.

"Well....maybe the demon that was throwing Craig around like a rag doll?"

Hayato smirked.

"That's him alright--and he probably won't arrive anytime soon."

Soon, the students started to sing Happy Birthday to Koro-Sensei, who watched them all with a content grin on his face.

The candle on his cake flickered softly.

Hayato sighed softly and reached into his suit pocket for his small box of cigarettes, pulling one out and lighting it with his Sun flames--using Sun flames as a lighter helped protect his lungs from the harmful chemicals.

The silveret then perked up when he sensed....something else enter the barrier.

Hayato turned his gaze to the intruder; everyone else also seemed to notice the unnerving presence.

Standing on the Class E building, Yanagisawa smirked at the group while standing next to 'Number Two'--the taller still looked intimidating with his strange, black suit that covered his entire body.

The ex-head scientist widened his smirk.

"How cute," He mocked. "Looks like your students will get to see you die, monster."

In a blur, Koro-Sensei's cake was suddenly destroyed; the yellow octopus himself yelped and cried comically, but it only lasted for a few seconds before he turned a grim grin at the new opponents.

The students glared in return; Koro-Sensei studied the other while Hayato and the rest of the Guardians rested their hands on their Vongola Gear.

Yanagisawa then waved a hand to 'Number Two'.

"You know....your student, yes, Koro-Sensei?"

The octopus tensed as the black suit around 'Number Two' was destroyed as he jumped from the roof of the building to land in front of the group.

Once the suit fell away completely, a large being looking twice the size of Koro-Sensei stood before them, tentacles lashing and face looking similar to a skull.

Koro-Sensei felt a bead of sweat run down the side of his head.

'.....My student....'

Yanagisawa chuckled.

"Not only will he steal the name 'God of Death', but he shall also be the new 'Koro-Sensei'."

The students widened their eyes at the sight of tentacles lashing around.

Click.

Yanagisawa rose an eyebrow at the sight of Karasuma aiming a gun at him; the Agent narrowed his gaze.

"Don't you dare involve the students any further into th--!"

"Number Two."

Karasuma widened his eyes as 'Number Two' lashed out at him.

There was a small explosion, causing dust and dirt to get kicked up.

"KARASUMA-SENSEI!"

Yanagisawa grinned with glee as he looked at the students.

"You're next! Hehehehe~!"

Koro-Sensei's ex-student winded one of his tentacles back before lashing out, breaking the sound barrier and creating a condensed wind blast of destruction.

Koro-Sensei quickly stood in front of the group, bracing for impact.

BOOOOM!

Slowly.....the dust died down.

The students watched with worry.

Finally, they could see that their yellow octopus who was.......completely fine; even Koro-Sensei himself looked surprised.

"Maa, maa~!  Don't forget about us!"

Takeshi stepped out of a cloud of dust, shouldering one of his katanas while in his Vongola Version X Gear.

Circular, bone shields floated into view; one of them was in front of Karasuma, who was revealed to be safe and sound.

Hayato took a drag from his cigarette and sighed, opening his eyes to reveal glowing, green irises; he ran a hand through his silver locks.

Black, skull rings adorned his fingers.

"System C.A.I."

Ryohei grinned as he also stepped out of the dust; the Vongola Sun Bangle was present on his right arm and was fully charged.

He shifted into a fighting stance, looking at their opponent with steady eyes.

"EXTREME!"

Lambo had his shield out; it crackled with green electricity.

"Yare, yare.....this will be troublesome......"

The God of Death merely gazed blankly at the group; Yanagisawa smirked.

"Hmph. It won't matter that you're here, for--"

'Number Two' made five clones of himself--much like Koro-Sensei.

"--Numbers are useless against hi--"

Bang!

Three out of five clones were stabbed through by some sort of purple branch(?).

Everyone looked at Hayato, who ejected the empty Cloud flame cartridge from his Flame Arrow.

The silveret huffed.

"Shut the f*** up." 'D***, I missed the real one.'

Lambo blew a raspberry and pulled his left eyelid down; his eye glowed an electric-green.

"Ppbbbbtt!  You guys are stu~pid~!"

Takeshi laughed cheerfully, twirling Kojirou briefly before stabbing him into the ground; his hazel eyes glowed a calm sea-blue.

"Maa~it's best not to underestimate us, Koro-Sensei or the students....."

Ryohei punched his fists together, Sun flames flickering around his hands; his silver eyes flickered to a yellow hue.

"....Or you'll EXTREMELY regret it!"

Yanagisawa sneered; he reached into his coat and brought out a syringe and injected it into his neck.

"Hmph!"

His eyes started to become crazed and his veins stood out more from his skin; tentacles started to sprout from his body, but he remained in a humanoid form.

"Don't think that he's the only one who's gonna destroy you."

'Number Two' had also made many more clones than before, filling the field with afterimages of himself.

Hayato glanced back at Koro-Sensei.

"Stay with the kids."

The silveret disappeared in a flash of red flames.

Suddenly, he was standing on one of the bone shields, Flame Arrow aimed at the God of Death clones below.

At the same time, Takeshi dashed forward, pulling Kojirou out of the ground and unsheathing Jirou.

Ryohei had one fist cocked back as he jumped in front of one of the clone's faces.

Lambo whipped his shield forward, aiming for one of the clones.

In that instant, a few of the God of Death clones dodged Hayato's Sun bullets.....

Two of the clones was destroyed by Ryohei's punch......

Three clones were taken out by Takeshi with a quick flash of silver and blue......

And Lambo's shield ricocheted off of a few clones' heads, destroying the afterimages.

Yanagisawa gnashed his teeth in frustration.

"Attack, Number Two!"

'Number Two' growled and swung his tentacles in an arc.

Takeshi blinked in surprise as he was suddenly thrown back by the after shock.

While the ravenet was still in the air, the skull-faced being lashed out at him.

Takeshi quickly deflected the tentacles in a blur of silver before crossing his blades to block a strong blow to his face.

However, with the clone's other tentacles, Takeshi received a gash on his side; blood spurt out as the ravenet grunted, landing a few meters away, stabbing Jirou into the ground to stop his sliding.

Ryohei widened his eyes slightly with worry; he destroyed the clones circling him with a few, quick, successful punches and flashed over to the swordsman's side.

"Are you EXTREMELY alright?!"

Takeshi laughed brightly, letting Jirou in the ground as he lightly pressed his palm into his sluggishly bleeding side; he checked his hand and smiled lopsidedly at the blood staining his fingers.

"M-Maa....it's just a little cut.  Haha, I let my guard down for a bit."

Ryohei raised his fist to the side as he checked Takeshi wound; the wheel on the silveret's bangle flickered with flames.

"Maximum Sunshine Counter!"

Ryohei blew away a few clones that tried to approach the two with the large beam of condensed Sun flames.

The silveret quickly closed up Takeshi's gash with his Sun flames, nodding to himself when he was finished; Ryohei bonked the swordsman on the head, chastising the other.

"Be more EXTREMELY careful!"

Takeshi laughed, rubbing his head sheepishly while making sure to not get blood in his hair.

"Hahahaha, thanks, Ryohei!"

The ravenet then rejoined the battle, grabbing Jirou, as Ryohei shook his head with exasperation.

Ryohei then perked up when he saw a tentacle come from his right side, using his peripheral vision.

The silveret stepped back and let the tentacle pass through before wrapping his arms around it in a tight hug.

Ryohei grinned widely as he used his strength to swing the clone around and send him crashing into another 'Number Two'.

On the other side of the field, Lambo raised his hand up before swinging it down.

Lightning bolts fell from the sky and slipped through the barrier, striking the clones before him.

Lambo looked down at his shield, smiling softly.

"Gyuudon, Cambio Forma.  Modo Attaco. Secondo Forma."

The shield thinned and lengthened; the green light surrounding the new weapon disappeared.

Lambo twirled the ornate staff around in his hands before slamming it onto the ground.

".....Lampo's Staff."

The teen's eye glowed as he shifted into a fighting stance; he twirled his staff lazily behind himself with his right hand and had his left hand open in front of him.

"Yare, yare....come at me."

The 'Number Two' clones growled lowly.

They all whipped their tentacles down on Lambo; there was a slight explosion from the speed of the mach 40 monster's blows.

The Gods of Death grinned before their expressions slipped off of their faces.

Once the dust settled, it was apparent....that Lambo was gon--

"Yare, Yare,"

The 'Number Two's widened their eyes and jerked their heads up.

Lambo had green lightning crackling around the tip of his staff as he held it above his head with both hands.

The teen smirked.

"Don't you know....."

Lambo brought his staff down and a large bolt of lightning was brought upon the clones.

"...That light beats mach 40?"

CRACKLE--BOOOOM!

Meanwhile, Hayato was firing Sun bullets at Yanagisawa, who was able to dodge, creating afterimages of himself; the ex-head scientist laughed obnoxiously.

"Too slow!"

Hayato chewed on the end of his cigarette, a bored expression on his face, irking Yanagisawa.

"Yeah, yeah.  Just shut up for a few seconds.  I'm just getting--"

A scratch appeared on Yanagisawa's left cheek and right arm, and it appeared on all of his afterimages; the ex-head scientist widened his eyes with shock.

"--used to your speed."

Hayato ejected another empty cartridge and loaded a new one.

Yanagisawa's eyes blazed with fury.

"You piece of sh**!"

The ex-head scientist lashed out with his tentacles.

Hayato set his bone shields in place to block the attack before firing in between them.

Yanagisawa chocked on his own spit as he was hit in the gut by a few Rain bullets.

As the scientist tried to regain his breath, Hayato reached into his pocket and pulled out a small syringe; he frowned faintly.

'....Hope this works.'

The silveret loaded it into his Flame Arrow and took aim at one of the God of Death clones.

Hayato fired--a silent sound--and it his the side of the monster's neck.

The mach 40 monster didn't seem to notice as he continued to attack Lambo, Ryohei and Takeshi.

Hayato's sharp eyes observed a little longer before aiming his Flame Arrow at another tentacle user; another syringe was fired at a certain yellow octopus--and it went unnoticed by the students and the ex-God of Death himself.

Once whatever was within the syringe was injected into the two tentacle-users' bodies, the needles detached and fell to the ground harmlessly.

The silveret let out a puff of smoke as he relaxed slightly.

'Good. That's one part of one task finis--'

Hayato dodged to the side, but he received a cut to his cheek.

Tentacles retracted and curled as Yanagisawa growled at the silveret.

The Storm himself simply sighed and wiped the blood on his cheek away with his thumb, narrowing his gaze at the real monster of the battle.

"Don't be such an a**--I haven't even majorly injured you.....yet."

Hayato's eyes flashed red as he gazed cooly at Yanagisawa.

"Shall we begi--?"

Suddenly, cries of alarm filled the air.

Hayato whipped his head back and widened his eyes.

Koro-Sensei had apparently recently received a blow from 'Number Two' by shielding his students with his own body.

However......that wasn't the important thing.

The students were looking at one of their classmates with fear and worry in their eyes.

"KAYANO/KAEDE!"

The said girl....was lying in a small puddle of her own blood as blood oozed out from the wound right in the middle of her chest area; her eyes were shut with her fingers curled loosely around the hilt of her Anti-Sensei knife.

It was apparent...that she tried to assist Koro-Sensei in fending 'Number Two' off; her green hair was untied and spread out beneath her.

Judging by the blood staining 'Number Two''s tentacles, Kaede was stabbed through by him; the clones slowly disappeared as everything came to a standstill.

Koro-Sensei's expression was unreadable as he bowed his head, looking at Kaede's unmoving body.

Yanagisawa smirked as bloodlust started to roll off of Koro-Sensei's body.

The students gulped slightly at the sight of uncontrollable rage rolling off of Koro-Sensei; the wind whipped around them.

Yanagisawa laughed.

"Now his emotions are spinning out of control--PERFECT!"

The ex-head scientist flashed away from Hayato and pulled out another syringe, injecting it into 'Number Two''s side.

"Now we'll see how strong the second generation is compared to the old one! Kehahahahaha!"

'Number Two''s power increased, causing the wind to kick up further.

Nagisa quickly ran forward and scooped Kaede up into his arms--princess style--before yelling back at his fellow classmates.

"Let's get our a**es out of here!"

"Bu--!"

"Kid's right," Everyone turned to look at Hayato who was gazing grimly at the fighting tentacle-beasts. "You guys can't do much now. Fall back."

The students gritted their teeth but they did as they were told.

Karasuma and Irina also herded the team back as Hayato and the other Guardians deactivated their gear; Takeshi glanced at the silveret.

"What should we do now?"

Hayato grimaced.

"Interfering might ruin our task.  We need to just stay vigilant."

Takeshi nodded, grinning widely.

"Okay~!  Gotcha."

Yanagisawa cackled on the side, standing behind 'Number Two' as the power in creased on both sides.

"There we go! Now the true battle between monsters shall finally beg--........eh?"

A white light came from Koro-Sensei.

Suddenly.....Koro-Sensei's black face....became....yellow?

Normal.

His face became red.

Angry.

Then a light blue.

Sad.

Then green.

Mischievous.

Then a dark blue.

Scared.

Then white.

A poker face.

These emotions....

All of these emotions....

They merged together....into a pure...white...energy.....

Koro-Sensei's grin turned a bit sad as he looked at his ex-student before him.

"........My student......."

The yellow octopus compressed his tentacles together, creating a familiar beam when he fought against Itona and Kaede is previous battles.

Koro-Sensei looked up at the other, beady, black eyes glowing warmly as he finished charging up his attack.

".....May you graduate from me.......in peace..."

The beam was fired.

BOOOOOM!

Yanagisawa yelped as he was thrown back by the aftershock of the blow, he was thrown up into the air as 'Number Two' simply stood his ground.

The ex-head scientist then noticed that he was heading towards the barrier, which would destroy any tentacle-matter, which was flowing through his very veins.

Yanagisawa panicked.

'SH**!  I'm gonna hit the barrier--why's Number Two so useless at times like these!?'

Yanagisawa swiped wildly at thin air, hoping to stop his approach on the barrier; he glanced behind himself and winced at how close he was.

'........This--is this how I will end!?'

The ex-scientists face twisted into a scowl as he was abut to hit the barrier.

"I don't wanna!"

He was shocked to the core as his body went through the barrier; Yangisawa was no longer a problem.

Back with Koro-Sensei, Number Two managed to absorb the impact.

The two fighters then went up into the air, clashing with each other.

Koro-Sensei used a handkerchief to hold an Anti-Sensei knife in hand.

The yellow octopus dodged attacks from the mach 40 beast before stabbing at.....the heart.

The God of Death coughed up blood as he glanced down at the knife wedged in his chest.

In that moment, they could see each other past the masses of tentacles.

At that moment, they were ex-teacher and ex-student.

The silveret cried, smiling bitterly, the corners of his mouth stretching painfully.

"I just.....wanted you to see me.....I wanted....to be like you....!"

The true God of Death looked at the ground grimly...before looking back at the one who stole his name; the ravenet smiled sadly.

".....These days.....I'm able to understand how you felt....."

The ravenet smiled gently at the other.

"Perhaps.....if we meet on the other side....we can study more together...and not the same mistakes twice...."

The silveret smiled slightly as he slowly disappeared.

"That....would be nice....."

He was gone.

Now.....Koro-Sensei was back to being Koro-Sensei....the mach 20 monster.

There were no cries of joy at the defeat of the mach 40 beast.

Nagisa looked at Kaede who was still in his arms; Ryohei was looking at the wound grimly as he slowly closed the wound up with Sun flames.

"This is bad," He wasn't using his usual 'EXTREME' catchphrase. "Even if I close the wound, her blood won't be restored from a injury like this."

Nagisa chewed his lower lip; some of the girls had tears pricking the corners of their eyes and the boys looked off to the side.

"...Kaede...."

He was about to put her down, but Koro-Sensei appeared behind the teen.

"Don't set her down--keep her in your arms, Nagisa-kun."

"Koro-Sens--?"

"It'll help prevent any bacteria from entering her body."

The students turned to look at Koro-Sensei and saw some.....sort of red orb being held by thin tentacles?

Nagisa blinked in confusion.

"Koro-Sensei....what is that....?"

The octopus gave a tired grin.

"This....is Kayano-chan's blood."

The students gawked with shock.

"H-How--When did you do that!?"

Koro-Sensei merely smiled.

"I did it during the fight."

The students blinked dumbly.

'That's our teacher.....'

Nagisa looked up at Koro-Sensei hopefully as the yellow octopus approached.

"Keep holding her up now.  I'm starting the operation."

The students watched with surprise...as the blood was slowly placed--cell by cell--back into the hole in Kaede's chest.

Koro-Sensei spoke as he continued the operation.

"...After that incident.....with Aguri.....I worked on ways....to possibly fix an injury like that.  And now.....using my speed and precision....I will save Kayano-chan."

Slowly and surely, the blood cells were placed back into her body.

"Some of Kayano-chan's cells were destroyed beyond repair, but I placed some of my slime to substitute for the holes until Kayano-chan can make her own and replace them."

Koro-Sensei glanced at his students.

"Also...if anyone of you have type AB blood, I would like you to donate some for Kayano-chan...."

Itona and Karma offered their arms up and Koro-Sensei's tentacles sucked in some blood from the two; Koro-Sensei then looked at another student.

"And also, Nakamura-san," The said blonde perked up. "I want you....to pick up the cake on the ground over there."

Rio blanched.

"THE F***!?"

She walked up to the crushed cake and sweatdropped, pointing at it while staring at Koro-Sensei with disbelief.

"But it looks really nasty now--all messed up and covered in dirt."

Koro-Sensei flushed as he continued to work.

"B-BEGGARS CAN'T BE CHOOSERS!  I NEED ENERGY!  B-Besides!  I've been eyeing that delicacy over the course of the battle!"

Rio sweatdropped once more and scooped up what she she could and started to feed Koro-Sensei the....cake.

Finally, after a few, mere minutes, the hole in Kayano's chest was gone.

Koro-Sensei wiped away any excess blood, grinning proudly.

"Alright, Nagisa-kun, you can set her down now."

Koro-Sensei wiped his forehead with a tentacle.

"Whew....now we just need to get her heart beating again.  Everything went without a hitch, just as I had planned out in my instruction manual titled: In the Event A Student Gets Impaled On School Grounds."

The students sweatdropped, shouting at the octopus.

"NO SANE PERSON WOULD EVER ANTICIPATE THAT TYPE OF SH** GOING DOWN!"

Koro-Sensei chuckled briefly before putting on a serious expression.

"I'm mentioning this now, since it seems appropriate.  But over these years...I have honed my skills to the point...."

Koro-Sensei placed a tentacle over Kaede's chest.

"....That I'd be able to reconstruct your bodies even if they were blown to pieces...as long as I was within close proximity....as long as I truly observed and stayed near....my very own students."

Zap!

Kaede's body jerked off of the ground after the shock that Koro-Sensei sent through his tentacle to her heart.

Suddenly, Kaede gasped and shot up before falling back down on her back, a bit woozy.

Slowly, she sat up and placed a hand on her head.

Koro-Sensei grinned softly and fixed her hair back into their usual pigtails; Kaede blinked in surprise.

"You....saved me again...."

Koro-Sensei grinned softly.

"I'm sure Aguri would do the same....and also, I would do this as many times as needed, for you are my dear student."

"KAYANO/KAEDE!"

The Class laughed with joy; the girls hugged the life out of her as the boys smiled.

Kaede smiled before--

"AahCHOO!  Why is it cold--EH!?  What happened to my clothes!?"

Kaede blushed deeply at her open chest; Itona--you shameless pervert--stared a bit before looking up at the green-haired girl with pity.

"You poor thing...."

"And just what do you mean by that!?"

Hiroto chuckled lending her his jacket.

"There, there...remember, Koro-Sensei fixed your hair."

Kaede cried comically.

"I wished he fixed my clothes first...."

Taiga grinned lecherously.

"Oh~come on.  This is Koro-Sensei we're talking about!  I bet he even made your chest bigger during the operation."

Touka went along with the playful act.

"Did you really, Koro-Sens--?"

Thud.

The students widened their eyes when Koro-Sensei collapsed to the ground.

"Whew~"

Koro-Sensei grinned and sighed tiredly.

"I am beat~!"

The Class grew completely silent.

They were reminded of what they had to do.

Koro-Sensei grinned widely as he looked up at the approaching group.

"My students.....now is the time....for the kill."

They swallowed dryly and darted their eyes elsewhere.

They didn't want to kill him.

Kaede was the first to move; she lofted Koro-Sensei's head up and let it rest on her lap.

The rest of the students glanced at each other.

They knew that Koro-Sensei would want them to kill him instead.....

They silently shuffled forward and crouched beside Koro-Sensei.

They each held onto one tentacle.

They all glanced at each other.

"Who's....going to give the finishing blow?"

They became deathly silent.....until....

"I will."

They all whipped their heads and saw...Nagisa there....Anti-Sensei knife in hand.

Ryoma smirked wryly.

"Well....I've got no qualms with that...."

The Class made small, weary smiles of their own, and they all agreed with each other.

Koro-Sensei grinned widely.

"Now.....we should have our final role call.  I'll only allow you to kill me...if you respond to me nice and clearly!"

The students tensed up at that.

They braced for--

"Ah, but before that," The students face-faulted at the slight break in tension. "I need to give my final respects to my colleagues."

Koro-Sensei looked over at Irina.

"Irina-Sensei.....are you sure you don't want to join in on the kill?  You'll get part of the bounty if you do, nurufufufu~!"

Irina smiled and kneeled down.

"I....have already gained plenty from you all.....from the brats.....and you...."

The blonde's lower lip trembled briefly, but she kept her tears in.

"This assassination....signifies bond that should belong to just you and the kids."

Koro-Sensei widened his grin at that before looking over at Karasuma.

"And you, Karasuma-Sensei......you mentored these students and turned them into he fine disciples they are today.  In the future, it would mean the world to me if you could continue to shepherd ver them and guide them whenever they are led astray."

Karasuma sighed and crouched down, shutting his eyes.

"...Of course.  You've caused me a great amount of grief this year, but it's it's one I will likely never forget."

The ravenet opened his eyes and stared down at the octopus.

"This is farewell.......Koro-Sensei."

The first time he called the yellow octopus by his 'name'.

Koro-Sensei gave a pleased grin.

"Hai...."

The yellow octopus looked up at the sky.

"Ah......Tsuna-Sensei."

Everyone tensed up at the name; Koro-Sensei chuckled softly.

"Sadly....I could not give him my final respects...."

"I'll listen."

Koro-Sensei craned his head to see Hayato standing there; the silveret dropped his cigarette to the ground and stepped on it to put it out.

Emerald eyes studied the other silently.

Koro-Sensei grinned.

"Why thank you, Gokudera-kun."

The yellow octopus looked up at the night sky, where a barrier obscured some of the stars.

"Tsuna-Sensei....you have been a valiant and kind teacher.  I would've wished....to have met you sooner along with everyone else....to know them more."

Koro-Sensei smiled.

Hayato had a small smile on his lips.

"His response would've been: 'Thank you.  And I also would've wanted to meet you many years before this point'."

Koro-Sensei chuckled.

"That certainly sounds like something he would say.......now...."

The octopus then looked at his students.

"Now then, students, sorry for the delay....I shall begin the role call."

Everyone tensed up again before--

"N-Nobody asked for an early dismissal did they?  If there's an unexpected absentee, that means I won't get a response and it just might make your teacher commit suici--"

"OH WILL YOU JUST GET ON WITH IT!?"

Koro-Sensei Weakness #39: He is completely oblivious to the mood in moments of high tension.

"Karma-san?"

The said redhead perked up before looking at the ground as he held onto one of the tentacles.

"Here."

E-1: Akabane Karma

"Isogai-san?"

The Ikemen kept a steady expression, but his eyes were sad.

"Here."

E-2: Isogai Yuuma

"Okajima-san."

Taiga smiled tentatively.

"Here."

E-3: Okajima Taiga

"Okano-san."

Hinata sniffled, swallowing the lump in her throat.

"Here."

E-4: Okano Hinata

"Okuda-san."

The megane-girl flinched before responding.

"H-Here!"

E-5: Okuda Manami

"Kataoka-san."

The swimmer gazed back silently.

"Here...."

E-6:Kataoka Megu

"Kayano-san."

The green-haired girl absently made soothing circles on the side of Koro-Sensei's head.

"Here."

E-7: Kayano Kaede

"Kanzaki-san."

The meek girl shut her eyes and responded.

"Here."

My young assassins.....

E-8: Kanzaki Yukiko

"Kimura-san."

'Justice' held a determined look in his eyes.

"Here..."

E-9: Kimura Masayoshi

I know very well that the decision you've arrived at, my assassination, as not made in haste, ignorance, or on a whim....

"Kurahashi-san."

The said ginger was crying, hard, but she tried to sound cheerful.

"H-He~re~!"

E-10: Kurahashi Hinano

"Nagisa-san."

The bluenet gazed silently at his sheathed, Anti-Sensei knife.

"Here."

E-11: Shiota Nagisa

Now that you are about to take the life of an individual....

"Sugaya-kun."

The silveret's expression was one of someone who was denying all that was happening, but his eyes showed that he knew.

"...Here..."

E-12: Sugaya Sousuke

"Sugino-san."

The baseball-lover smiled, a single tear rolling down his left cheek.

"Here."

E-13: Sugino Tomohito

Today, all of you.....

...Will learn the meaning of life...

"Takebayashi-san."

The teen pushed his glasses up.

"Here."

E-14: Takebayashi Kotaro

...Better than anybody else.

"Chiba-san."

The ravenet sniper's silver eyes were seen briefly behind his bangs as he lifted his head slightly.

"Here."

E-15: Chiba Ryuunosuke

"Terasaka-san."

The delinquent grimaced.

"S-Sup...."

E-16: Terasaka Ryoma

All of you have a greater meaning to my existence.

"Nakamura-san."

The blonde managed a smile.

"Yo."

E-17: Nakamura Rio

"Hazama-san."

The book-lover looked over at the other.

"...Here."

E-18: Hazama Kirara

"Hayami-san."

The other sharp shooter kept up a blank face, but her eyes betrayed her emotions.

"Here."

E-19: Hayami Rinka

As your mentor, I myself...

"Hara-san."

The chubby girl shut her eyes and answered wearily.

"Here...."

E-20: Hara Sumire

...Have learned a few things.

"Fuwa-san."

The detective lifted her head and responded clearly.

"Here!"

E-21: Fuwa Yuzuki

As such....

I sincerely wish for each and everyone of you....

"Maehara-san."

The blonde smiled.

"Here."

E-22: Maehara Hiroto

"Mimura-san."

The movie-maker wiped away a tear.

"Here."

E-23: Mimura Kouki

....To gain the most out of this experience....

"Muramatsu-san."

The noodle-maker adjusted his grip on his tentacle.

"Sup."

E-24: Muramatsu Takuya

"Yada-san."

The magenta-eyed brunette was crying.

"Here......."

E-25: Yada Touka

"Yoshida-san."

The motorcycle-lover gritted his teeth.

"Here."

E-26: Yoshida Taisei

If this single moment of time could help shape the future of these 28 students and have an impact that will last the rest of their lives.....

"Ritsu-san."

The girl was on a phone, smiling while crying.

"Here."

E-27: Ritsu

....It could become something I would gladly die for.

"Itona-san."

The white-haired teen's eyes shimmered.

"Here...."

E-28: Horibe Itona

Koro-Sensei sighed softly and grinned widely.

"This has truly....truly been an unforgettable, fantastic year...."

I wish you all the best.

The yellow octopus smiled warmly.

"To have the privilege of being assassinated by all of you....I must be the luckiest man in the world...."

Nagisa climbed on top of Koro-Sensei....and unsheathed his knife.

Memories.....memories flashed through every Class E member's mind.

Nagisa's hand shook as they gripped the knife in his hand tightly.

He couldn't stop shaking.

The bluenet raised it over his head; he let out a cry of anguish as he brought it down towards the crescent moon on Koro-Sensei's tie.

I'm scared!

I don't want this!

Why, why, why--!?

Plip.

One of Koro-Sensei's tentacles gently touched Nagisa's pulse; the bluenet instantaneously calmed down.

Nagisa stared with wide eyes at the grinning Koro-Sensei.

"Nurufufufu....now, now, Nagisa-kun."

The yellow octopus widened his grin.

"You must never assassinate while in such a state of mind."

The tentacle gently ruffled blue locks before retracting away.

"Remain calm.....and smile..."

The shock slowly ebbed away.

Hot tears fell from sky-blue orbs.

"Nurufufu~a job well done, Nagisa-kun! You hid your bloodlust perfectly as you attempted to assassinate me!"

"An assassin is not your ideal talent......come back later and think about it."

"Nurufufufu~a teacher certainly fits you, Nagisa-kun."

"Go, go, go, Nagisa-kun! On ward to the exams!"

All of these memories.....

.....Cherish them.....

....Always.....

Nagisa sensed everyone's heartbeat.

Calm.

Pained....

.....But calm...

Nagisa clutched the knife to his chest.....before lifting his head up.

Slowly....a sad...gentle smile tugged at his lips.

"Goodbye......Koro-Sensei...."

Koro-Sensei made a pleased smile.

"Indeed....this is goodbye...."

With tears continuing to flow from his eyes, Nagisa pushed the knife forward....through the crescent moon....and into Koro-Sensei's heart.

....

.......

Light.

.....

Warmth.

.....

Once Koro-Sensei's heart was stabbed.....he disappeared......in a bright....and warm....light.

The pieces of light.....floated up to the sky.

It was like Koro-Sensei......had joined the stars shining above.

The students looked at their empty hands before gazing at the lights that were slowly floating away.

Tears fell from everyone's eyes.

They cried out to sky in pain and sadness.

...

In the Class E building homeroom.....

The clock was a few minutes before 12:00 midnight....

Class E....had graduated....

....A little earlier....

...Than planned...
