Ansatsu Kyōshitsu / Assassination Classroom - Assassinated Heart - Karma x Manami

SummaryMost people wanted romantic proposals... where the guys make it all flashy and clear to the entire world that this was the one woman they wanted to be with for the rest of her life. However, the way he had pop in for a quick visit while casually threatening Takabayashi not to lay a hand on his fiancée, without having said a single word about proposing to her, was so totally like him. Karmanami / Karma x Manami

I don't own Assassination Classroom or else I would have spammed that thing with so many Karmanmi scenes.


Please forgive any mistakes, both character-wise and grammatically-wise. I don't have time to re-read or edit things.






Assassinated Heart

HappyFace1886




Okuda gathered all her paperwork together, shuffling them into a neat pile in order to place in her folders. There was a puff of pride in her chest at how she and Takebayashi-kun had obtained approval in furthering their researching of the type RH null null transfusion blood. The foundation of the blood type was a dear parting gift from Koro-sensei and the fact that they were able to successfully utilize it made her nearly tremble with excitement.

“Good work today, Okuda-san,” Takebayashi spoke from near the doorway and Okuda turned around excitedly. Based on how there was a grin lingering on the usual stoic man’s face, she knew he was equally affected by the day’s results. “Let’s progress more on the research tomorrow.”

“Of course,” she grinned.

“Are you still going to meet the others at school?” he inquired, knowing there was no need to even specify what school he was talking about. To them and to all of those from Class E, there was only one school that meant anything to them.

This time her smile turned a bit rueful. “I think it’s a bit too late for that.”

He nodded in agreement. In exchange for being able to show the results of their research to the professor, they had to miss the time their other classmates were going to meet at Kunugigaoka. By the time they got on the train to head for school, it would be late at night. Takebayashi shrugged. “How about dinner then? There’s a fancy place that opened down the street.”

“It’s not a maid café again, is it?” Okuda asked teasingly and Takebayashi grinned.

“You did ask where my favorite place was.” The two chuckled slightly at the memory, especially due to how they’d ended up bumping into Terasaka who’d snuck away from his job. The normally gruff boy, now grown to an equally gruff man, had been savoring his moment in paradise when it’d been ruined by a phone-call from his boss who started hollering that he better not be lazing at some ‘god-forsaken-otaku-club-again’! “So how about it? It’ll be on me and I promise, there won’t be any maids this time.”

Okuda smiled warmly and opened her mouth to reply when she heard his voice.

“Now I’m pretty sure you weren’t trying to ask my fiancée out on a date,” the dark velvety voice echoed from within the hallway and Takebayashi stiffened as he felt a heavy hand firmly gripping onto his shoulder. Despite the years that had passed, a cold shiver still went down his spine whenever he heard the voice of the now matured Devil of Class E. “Right, Takebayashi-kun?”

There was no need to even turn his head. Takebayashi knew there was that creepy devilish smile on Karma’s face and he coolly pulled away from the man’s hold, adjusting his glasses as he did so. “No need to be paranoid, Karma-kun. I know you two are... wait, since when were you two engaged?”

Takebayashi whipped his head towards Okuda, but the glasses woman looked stunned as well. Her eyes were slightly widened and her jaw slacked opened before all of it faded away as quickly as it’d came, a warm and sincere smile blooming instead. In that moment, Takebayashi knew there was no need to say anything else. All those years ago when he and Okuda met up during their freshman year of college and Karma had appeared out of nowhere like a demon straight out of hell, cheerfully warning him that Okuda is already taken and that he better not get any funny ideas, he’d learn to just accept whatever happened with this odd couple.

“I think I’m going to just call Terasaka to check out the café in his district,” he deadpanned as he pulled out his cellphone. “You two have fun, but don’t make a mess in the lab. We still have work to do tomorrow.”

“Of course!” Okuda rushed.

“No promises,” Karma nonchalantly said at the same time. Okuda stared at him in surprise while Karma smiled in a carefree manner at her. Takebayashi snorted and then gave them a wave before leaving the room. Karma continued smiling after him and waited until his footsteps faded before shutting the door. He turned around to where Okuda stood and his smile turned absolutely feral.

“It’s been a while,” Okuda managed to say before he rushed in for a kiss. His arm wrapped itself around her waist and pulled her closer, pressing his lips insistently against hers. To his delight, she looped her arms around his neck and leaned towards him, parting her lips in open invitation, one that he didn’t hesitate to take.

His scent, his taste, his presence was so overwhelming to her sense and yet, she allowed herself to drown in them. Okuda’s hand reached up to tangle in his hair, clenching and tugging lightly at the flaming red mane that always attracted people’s eyes. Her movements seemed to encourage him further, lighting the fire that was already threatening to burn through him.

The table rattled as he suddenly picked her up and roughly placed her on there, her legs parted and wrapped around his waist as he absentmindedly shoved the paper she’d just organized all over the ground. Research documents, office supplies, and measuring tools all went flying off the table. As though realizing what just happened, she squeaked against his lips in dismay (five minutes hadn’t even passed since she’d promised not to make a mess of the lab!), but the matter was quickly forgotten when she locked eyes with his piercing golden eyes.

He hovered over her with his hands pinned on the sides of her head and, though she’d seen a hint of it during their brief meetings in highschool and even more infrequent meetings in college, she was taken aback by just how much bigger he was than her. His shoulders were broad and larger than she’d remembered, her strongest memories of him being from their time in middle school. One his hand was now trailing towards her neck and she shivered at the feel of the hard calluses on them, the power that radiated from his very fingertips. Obviously he hadn’t discontinued his training since their time at Class E.

She was so vulnerable beneath him... so exposed and so helpless... and yet her cheeks were dusted in pink and she looked up at him breathlessly, her head leaning into his hand as he caressed the side of her face.

All those lingering touches...

The frustratingly brief moments...

It all ended here.

“You’re mine,” he purred and felt warm contentment when she smiled at him, her hand reaching up to touch his hand.

“And you’re mine as well.” She murmured sincerely.

Karma’s eyes softened, but the moment was ruined as she continued speaking.

“But I think it might be better if we didn’t continue this here,” she said with her eyes shifting towards the mess on the floor. “Takebayashi-kun will definitely be unhappy about this and if the professor sees this mess then-.”

“Manami,” Karma groaned as he playfully collapsed almost all of his weight onto her, pinning her on the table. How typical of her to be so straight-forward and honest. “We were having a moment right now.”

He was greeted with silence and he lifted his head up, only to see a flustered look on her face. “My... My name...”

“Is Manami,” he said for her with a grin. “After all, it’ll be unusual that the fiancé would call his fiancée by her surname, right? Besides... it won’t be long until it changes to Mrs. Akabane Manami, hm?”

Karma was nuzzling into her neck as he finished his words. It was so like her to be more stunned about being called by her first name than being proclaimed his fiancée. But in a way, very fitting. It was always known that they’d end up together sooner or later.

“Akabane Manami,” she murmured softly, absentmindedly stroking Karma’s hair. He preened under the attention, splaying kisses against her soft skin in approval.

“Do you like it?”

“I like it,” she said honestly.

“Good,” he said with a peck against her lips. “Because we’re going to court tomorrow morning to fill out all the documents and if you want, I guess we can have a fancy wedding as well. Until then, we should go out and get some dinner.”

Manami looked surprised as Karma climbed off of her, adjusting his suit that was nearly wrinkled beyond repair. “H-Huh?”

“Hm?” a smile teased his lips as he turned to look at her. “What’s wrong?”

She looked at him and at the floor littered with the research notes and tools, the flustered look of confusion clearly etched on her features. “I... I mean...”

The smile on his face looked absolutely predatory and Manami felt her heart rate sky-rocket. It was the same look Karma had whenever he’d tease or torment one of their classmates back in the good ole days. While she knew he’d never hurt her, she was still wary of what was to come next.

“Were you expecting a bit more, Manami-chan?” he teased, sauntering back towards her before leaning forward. His hands pressed against the table beside her head, effectively keeping her pinned beneath him. His dark amber eyes layered with amusement watched how the redness of her cheek deepened and he trailed his lips against her soft cheek. “Believe me, I’d want nothing more than to claim you right here and now.”

“T-Then why don’t you?” her words came out in a stammer, but in true Okuda-fashion, she spoke straight-forwardly and honestly. A trait Karma appreciated and adored. Though right not, it was poking –more like stabbing- furiously at his self control.

“Because,” her body felt so soft and warm. Not to mention, she tasted so good. So many nights he’d dream of her and each time he’d sneak a greet from her, it’d take all his will-power not to break his promises. It was to the point that he’d become torn between seeing her and avoiding her in fear that he’d lose all control. “I plan on doing things right by you.”

“What if,” she shivered under the ministration of his tongue, gasping when he started paying attention to a particularly sensitive part of her neck. “W-What if I don’t care a-about things like that.”

Her legs were raised and opened for him to nestle in between them. It felt so right having his strong and sturdy body being carefully cradled by her thighs. She liked the feel of him on top of her and made it clearly known by holding onto him, tilting her head to give him more room to explore and taste.

And he knew... he knew just how pliant and eager she was for his touch.

He almost groaned and gave in at that moment. It was so tempting and she was so willing. “So you don’t mind our first time being in the office that you work at every day and almost every night?”

“K-Karma!” Manami squeaked chidingly.

“And by doing things right by you, I meant having our first time preferably on a bed.” He continued to tease, enjoying how flustered she was getting. “We can be more adventurous next time and if you still want, next time I don’t mind-.”

“Karma!” this time, Manami yelled and amusingly enough, instead of pushing him away, she pulled him closer in order to bury her face into the crook of his neck. She was so mortified that she whimpered slightly while he began to pet her gently. “I’m sorry I’m so bad at this.”

Karma gave into impulse and pulled her into a tight embrace, never mind the fact that he was already on top of her. “You’re not bad at this at all, Manami.”

“...I don’t know what I’m doing,” she confessed quietly.

“Well, neither do I,” he responded nonchalantly, delighted at how easy it was to still be so open and honest with her. It was nothing like when dealing with his stupid coworkers or the other bureaucrats who thought themselves so clever and smart. Karma pressed his lips on hers gently and smiled against them when he felt Manami tilt her head ever so slightly, melding her lips better against his. “But we have all the time in the world to learn together now.”

He pulled back slightly and felt his cheeks redden when he saw her gazing up at him with soft lilac eyes. There was a warmth in those light orbs that he was unfamiliar with, an affection he was never really exposed to. His parents were never really around and he didn’t have any relatives to dote on him. The most he’d had was Nagisa and even then, they’d drifted apart.

But Manami... even when she hadn’t physically been there over the years, she’d been a constant in his life. He could always count on her to be there for him, to listen to him whenever he had something in his mind and to bluntly put him in his place when he needed it. Because she trusted him and did not think of him as different... or as different as the other students or people around them saw him to be.

“Karma...” he was broken out of his thoughts when a warm hand reached up to cup his cheek and he instinctively leaned against it, pressing his lips against the soft palm of her hand. Manami had never really been a physical fighter and in a way, he cherished that fact. He liked the fact that she was so soft and sweet. “I... I think... No... I know... I love you.”

Karma stilled and his eyes slightly widened.

Manami felt his surprise, but still surged forward. “I-I know we haven’t spent as much time as a normal couple would, but... but this feels just so right. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so comfortable with another person. I mean... I’ve met many people who share my love of chemistry and the sciences, but still, they just... I’m not sure how to say this... but it just wasn’t the same as when I talk to you about anything.”

She clenched her eyes shut, feeling as though she’d ruined something between them. It’d surprised her when they’d been in middleschool and Karma bluntly told her that he wanted a relationship with her. Then during highschool, it’d become obvious that there was a physical attraction between them. But as they got older... as they had their moments together between the sweet heated kisses and the fun nightly talks... she found that Karma had become a presence in her life that she felt empty without.

It was more than immature affection. It was more than just a physical need she had for him.

His lips against hers, his strong body pressed against hers... all of that felt so lovely and good, but it didn’t replace how her heart would skip a beat whenever he’d pop up from the window of her apartment late at night in order to just talk about how their day went. She loved watching that mischievous spark in his eyes when he’d let her in on his devious plans against his classmates and later coworkers. And then there was how he’d listen so patiently to what was going on in her work while never being embarrassed about asking the meaning about certain terminologies and methods. He didn’t care if all she had to talk about was boring theories or developments.

In her eyes, she had nothing interesting to offer him. Karma Akabane was the heartthrob of hundreds of girls. Playful and devious, intelligent and strong... the entire package all wrapped up in that handsome face with that dark sinister streak that drew in girls in droves.

“Well I’m glad to hear that my fiancée is in love with me,” her eyes flew open at his playful words. She gasped when he suddenly pulled her up from the table, leaning back so that he could settle on her seat with her on his lap. He pulled her close and nuzzled into her hair. “All the more reason why we should get married. And soon.”

“You... I...” she sputtered.

“You didn’t think I wanted to marry you if I didn’t love you too, did you?” he arched an eyebrow she couldn’t see and almost laughed when he felt her clinging onto his shirt. Karma leaned back against the chair, enjoying the weight of her on his person and affectionately ran a hand up and down her back. “After... Koro-sensei died... I didn’t want to lose anything precious to me ever again. I didn’t want to sit back and have regrets about what could have been. Asking you to wait for me... that was a gamble.”

“A gamble?” she asked, sounding confused.

“There were many things that could have gone wrong with that, you know.” He remarked. “We barely saw each other and were always with other people. What if your feelings changed? What if you wanted someone else?”

“...would you have let me go?”

“...no,” he replied honestly.

“I wouldn’t either,” Manami admitted with a soft blush. “I... I wouldn’t want to sit back and have regrets either... that time when you fought with Nagisa-kun about Koro-sensei taught me that.”

“You would’ve fought for me?” he inquired with an interest that made Manami’s cheeks darken. “How?”

“I... I...” she stammered. “I-I don’t know. It... It probably would have been through really stupid means or... desperate...”

“Would you have tried to seduce me back?” Karma pressed on, enjoying her flustered face. “I mean, we all went through Bitch-sensei’s lessons. I’m sure you learned a thing or two there. Well, I guess you’d have had to try pretty hard since I had the same lessons too and-.”

Karma’s eyes widened when Manami shut him up with a rushed kiss against his lips. She moved on his lap until she was straddling his legs, her arms wrapped around him as she kissed him with a shy desperation that left him stunned. He couldn’t tell if it was because she was worried about losing him or was just so mindlessly embarrassed with all his teasing, but the way she kissed him felt sincere. Manami may be bad with words, but she was honest in other ways.

His eyes darkened and his hand settled on her lower back, moaning lightly in approval at the way her tongue curled against his own. When she finally broke the kiss, looking breathless and unable to look him in the eye, Karma stroked her cheek and whispered huskily. “We better get going.”

“Right,” Manami murmured, her curled fists still pressed against his chest.

“We have a big day tomorrow.” His lips curled once more into his trademark smirk. “I’m sure everyone will be surprised next week to hear that we were the first ones to get married out of all of them.”

“N-Next week?” she looked up at him in confusion.

“Of course,” Karma said cheekily. “Once we’re officially husband and wife, I have no plans of letting you out of my sight for at least a week! Everyone’s going to want to kidnap you for details when they find out the truth. I’ve waited all this time for you, Manami-chan, and I plan to enjoy every last second I have of you to myself before that happens!”

Ansatsu Kyōshitsu / Assassination Classroom - Impatience - Karma x Manami

Summary: It's Highschool Time and Karma is getting impatient. Karmanami / Karma x Manami

I don't own Assassination Classroom or else I would have spammed that thing with so many Karmanmi scenes.

Impatience

HappyFace1886




He didn’t care if he was going against his own word.

He didn’t care if he had been the one who’d made the boundaries in the first place.

Wait for me, he’d told her.

Karma almost grinned wryly at that memory and returned to nuzzling into Okuda’s neck, almost purring at the soft murmurs she released when she felt him splaying soft kisses against her skin.

Then again, he’d never mentioned anything about not being allowed to visit on occasion. After all, there was nothing wrong with a little... reminder of their secret agreement.



“Geez, the girls from X-high are so hot!” light reddish eyes lazily turned to the group of students grumbling with each other in the corner of the room, his ears perking up when he heard the familiar school name reaching his ears. “Hell, they can probably rival the girls here at Kunugigaoka. I’m sure my mom wouldn’t mind if I dated someone from there. The girls there rank with us academically for sure.”

“Yeah, but you forget that they have guys at that school too,” another one grunted, shifting his glasses higher up his face. “Officially it’s written that there are two schools, one for the guys and one for the girls, but everyone knows that they mingle a lot together. The girls are probably too busy with the guys there to even notice us.”

Karma’s eyes narrowed.

“Man, shut up,” one of the students shoved the glasses student to the side. “You won’t know until you try.”

“Forget it,” the glasses guy rolled his eyes. “That place is also known for having on-campus residencies and it’s near impossible to break through their security. Unless the girls willingly come out to see us, they’ll probably go and fall in love with one of the guys attending X-high.”



He didn’t mean for things to escalate to this, but Karma partially blamed Okuda for this. All he’d plan to do was casually greet her, as though it was an everyday occurrence for him to take a stroll through the private grounds of her school. However, she just had to go and ruin all of that.

Karma skimmed his lips up her throat, following the trail of her jawline while he listened to her pant and quiet whines for more. It wouldn’t do to be too loud and he knew she was well aware of this. It was too expensive to get a room for herself and Okuda had opted to get two other roommates... roommates that were currently right outside the common room of their dorm.

“K-Karma-kun,” Okuda gasped, grabbing onto the wrist of the hand that was slowly inching up the bottom of her pajama top. “You said... You said...”

“I missed you,” he whispered heatedly before claiming her lips as his own. Karma was currently on her bed, leaning against the ridiculously large number of pillows she kept on it, looking so casual as though he belonged on her bed with her. He’d all by dragged Okuda on top of his lap, placing her sitting sideways on top of him, where he’d then told her they wouldn’t be doing much but cuddling like that.

But again, he blamed her for being so tempting. Perhaps Bitch-sensei had rubbed off against her more than she’d believed.

He loved how easily she yielded herself to his kiss, the contentment that was radiating off of her clearly indicating that she’d missed him as much as he did. Karma implored her to open her mouth, teasingly worrying her bottom lip between his teeth where he began to nip and suck at it. She opened her mouth immediately, giving him entrance into the hot cavern inside and he almost groaned at the familiar, tempting taste that was all her.

Seeing as though she was suitably distracted, Karma took advantage of her loosened grip around his wrist and trailed higher until he was brushing his hands on the underside of her breasts. She stiffened and for a moment, Karma thought she’d break away from him, but she always knew how to surprise him. Instead, Okuda didn’t resist, her hand still loosely gripping his hair while her eyes remained clenched, waiting for whatever it was that came next.

The sight of her so trusting and defenseless made the flush on Karma’s face deepen and he ended up being the one breaking their joined lips, swiftly pulling Okuda’s face against his chest so that she wouldn’t see just how flustered he was. He stared at the ceiling, trying to calm his erratic heartbeat. His hand had quickly left from underneath her shirt and was now delicately cradling her against him, one hand absentmindedly toying with her braid while the other was lightly holding onto her waist.

“Karma-kun?” she inquired softly, completely oblivious to how strained his self-control was right now.

Calm down. He needed to calm down.

He’d always known that he found Okuda to be cool and maybe even adorable sometimes. However, she had no idea the effect she had on him whenever she trusted him like that. It wasn’t as though she believed that he could do no wrong. In fact, he knew she’d be one of the first ones to tell him off if he was going astray. But this... the way she’d lean into his touch no matter how nervous or -maybe even- scared she was of the development... she trusted him enough to follow his lead no matter where it led.

The hand that had been playing with her hair reached out to cover the upper half of his face. His cheeks were still burning and he could feel his heart threatening to leap out of his chest due to how hard it was beating.

If only the rest of Class E knew of just how tightly wrapped the Devil Prince was around little Ms. Poison Glasses’ finger...

Okuda remained still against him and with how her face was being pressed so intimately against his chest, she had a front row seat of how fast his heart was beating. She listened to the sound before hesitantly reaching out and wrapping her arms around his chest. Karma stiffened, but he didn’t push her away and that was enough of an incentive for her to remain holding him snuggly against her.

It was strange... before Karma had confronted her in the classroom during their final days together at Kunugigaoka, she’d never thought of him like this. Granted, she knew she trusted him and found him to be kind and a great friend. But after that little stint in the classroom and how he wanted her to wait for him, she found just how lonely she felt at times without him to talk to. The two were comfortable enough with each other that they weren’t afraid to broach any topics that might come to mind.

She hadn’t realized just how precious it was to find someone like that until she had been separated from Karma.

Not to mention the way he’d light her on fire with just a smoldering look. It made her feel things she didn’t even think was possible. Because of how she still struggled with her communication skills, she wasn’t even sure if she’d ever be able to describe the feelings he pulled out of her. Okuda’s eyes closed slightly and she buried her face into his chest, enjoying the masculine scent that reminded her of the forest she and the other Class-E students had often romped around. Being like this felt so secure and warm.

Karma was desperately trying to prevent his body from freezing up –or worse, reacting- at how Okuda was so languidly nuzzling against him. It wasn’t as though he hated the feel of her burrowing into his chest like this, but he didn’t know how long he’d hold out until he had her pinned against the bed and crying out his name for more.

In fact, he sort of wanted to sigh in exasperation. As always, Okuda had a way of blowing up his plans.

First, he’d snuck into the private school grounds –though honestly, their security system was such a joke that they were practically inviting him inside- in order to remind her of her currently attached status. That plan had been blown to smithereens when he’d seen her talking to some of her male classmates, how they’d blush so innocently around her in a way that made Karma want to shove all their heads into the ground.

And so he’d changed his plans, opting to surprise her in her room instead. He’d planned on driving her mad with his touch and kisses, to give her a firm reminder of how she had him waiting for her in the future. However, she had changed the events around and they were now doing the exact thing he’d falsely promised her (a.k.a. just cuddling) after he’d surprised her in her room.

“You’re amazing, you know that?” Karma murmured mostly to himself.

Okuda looked up at him, confused as to what he meant by that, and he caressed her cheek softly. His hands slowly trailed lower, his thumb brushing against her quickening pulse on her neck, before it reached for the top of her shirt. She felt his fingers nimbly undo the first few buttons of her pajama shirt. Okuda wordlessly watched, her only reaction being the deepening flush of her cheeks and the slight widening of her eyes, when she felt him tug at the soft material of her night clothes to reveal a creamy shoulder for his hungry eyes. A tremor went down her spine as Karma leaned down in order to run his tongue across the exposed flesh. She panted slightly, instinctively tilting her head to the side to give him more access to her neck.

“K-Karma-kun,” she mewled.

He took his time in tasting her, lightly nipping and sucking at the sensitive skin, making her writhe and squirm on top of him at the ticklish yet pleasant sensation of him practically devouring the quickly reddening patch of skin. Karma seemed to obsess over that one spot, enjoying the way she’d gasp and clutch onto his hair when he blew softly on the now dark red spot that was vibrantly noticeable on her pale skin.

“Karma-kun?” she panted out when she felt him stop.

He pulled back and almost preened at the sight of his mark on her. His fingers lightly stroked her neck, thumbing the wet red mark that showed his claim on her. There was more that he wanted to do, to show the idiots on this campus that she was taken and content to be with him and him only. Alas, while his instincts demanded that he put any potential suitors in this place, he knew there was no need to worry.

Bearing a mischievous smile, he reached for the buttons of his shirt.

Okuda was barely in the process of pulling herself together when she realized that Karma was moving beneath her. She pulled away slightly and saw that he’d undone the first few buttons of his shirt. Her eyes were immediately averted when she caught a glimpse of his toned chest, the crimson blush on her face turning a nice shade of maroon.

“It’s your turn now.” He said cheekily.

“W-What?” Okuda squeaked with widened eyes.

“I made my mark on you to show that you’re mine,” Karma continued unabashedly, “now it’s your turn to make one on me.”

“M-Mark? What mark?” Okuda scrambled to get off of Karma, but he held on tightly around her waist, leaving her stretching to grab the mirror on the drawer next to her bed. She quickly pulled it towards her and tilted her neck, the blush on her face now creeping down her neck –almost camouflaging the Karma’s proud mark- at rapid speed. “K-Karma-kun, why did you do that? It’s on a noticeable spot too! I can’t hide this!”

“Exactly,” Karma smiled at her and cupped her cheek. “I want everyone in this school to know that you’re taken, Okuda-san. I want all those guys who were chatting so happily with you while I can’t, to know that there’s no way in hell that I’m ever letting you out of my grasp. Don’t you want to do the same for me?”

His words were making her blush even harder –if that was even possible!- and she couldn’t even form the words to express herself, her gaze continuously shifting back and forth from Karma’s exposed neck to the audacious grin on his face.

“Unless you’re fine with other girls ogling at me,” this time there was a slight pout on his face. 

To his pleasant surprise, Okuda quickly shook her head. She didn’t even want to think about the painful tightening sensation in her chest at the mere thought of Karma holding onto someone else in the way he was doing with her right now. “N-No, that’s not it! I just... I just don’t know how to make one.”

Karma couldn’t help it. She was just too cute right now. He wrapped his arms around her and held her as tightly as he could without suffocating her. His words were then whispered against her hair. “All you have to do is exactly what I did. Kiss me, lick me... mark me. Try to devour me whole and pour all your feelings into it, to show that I’m taken by you and belong to you only.”

Her face was already strategically placed against his exposed throat and Okuda’s eyes were already staring at the way his Adam’s apple would hypnotically move with each low rumble of his voice. It was so comfortable to be held like this by him. She knew she wouldn’t feel this way with any other person in the world.

Hesitantly, she reached out to brush her lips against his skin.

If Karma-kun was to leave her for another, she wasn’t sure how she’d take it. Granted, they never really properly dated or acted like a normal couple... their bond primarily consisted of the occasional talks they had when they were younger and, of course, the many memories of their attempts to assassinate their middle school teacher. Still, she could already feel her heart clenching at the possibility of him choosing another.

Okuda nipped lightly on his skin, noticing the gentle scent of his body wash along with soothing smell of a forest right after a long torrent of rain. She could see their middle school classroom, the trees that surrounded them and the gentle breezes that blew by and brought about the entire scent of the forest to them.

If he were to try and leave her...

No, she could never let that happen. Karma-kun made it very clear that he wanted to be with her, but if something were to happen while they were separated... if he was to find someone that he felt more comfortable to be around than her...

Her teeth scrapped a little harder against his neck, her movements growing a bit harsher at the thought of that mere possibility. There was almost a sense of desperation on how hard she was marking his neck, as though she’d taken his word to heart and was using every ounce of her feelings to make sure there was a glowing sign on him that boldly told others to back away.

Karma was taken.

He was hers.

When she finally pulled away, there was a small strand of saliva joining her mouth to her neck and she felt mortified to see just how wet his neck was from her sloppy work. However, when her gaze was raised upward, she saw that Karma was having a hard time looking at her. In fact, his eyes were intently trained somewhere else, the normal scheming poker face of his replaced by a strained look that told volumes of how he was struggling with his tightly reined self-control.

“Karma-kun?” Okuda hesitantly called out and felt the familiar shivers fill down her spine when his piercing light eyes turned to hers.

Bloodlust.

Just as their teacher had diligently trained them in.

Okuda could see that it was taking everything of him to hold himself back. The smart thing would have been to back away. They’d branded their signs on each other and even if the marks were to fade, the memories of the other student’s eyes on that would not. The rumors would spread and linger, making it clear to others that she and Karma already had someone else in their minds.

Still, her hands reached up to lightly cup the side of his face.

It was as though his thirst of blood, the desire to kill, was wrapping itself around her. Her heart pulsed loudly against her chest, feeling threatened and hunted. All of her instincts cried that she run away from this predator... but not to run and escape, to hide so not to be eaten.

No, it beguiled her to escape in order to be chased.

The thundering of her heartbeat was due to the excitement at the prospect of being hunted.

Okuda leaned in and pressed her lips against his, relishing at how his self-control cracked slightly as he roughly pushed her down onto the bed.

More.

She wanted to be preyed upon more.

“You definitely learned well from Bitch-sensei,” he whispered heatedly against her thoroughly kissed lips. “Or else you wouldn’t have kissed me so gently like that.”

“Don’t stop, Karma-kun,” she whimpered, her fingers digging into his shoulders. “Please...”

She was so eager and willing beneath him. Karma gritted his teeth and leaned forward, burying his face into her neck while he almost collapsed all of his weight on her. Okuda’s fingers tightened around him even further out of surprise, not expecting him to fall down on top of her like that.

“Karma-kun?”

“Definitely learned too well,” his voice was muffled this time.

“W-What do you mean?”

“You’re turning this situation against me again,” there was almost a pouty whine in the way he spoke.

“I’m not!” she protested.

“Maybe not knowingly,” he groaned slightly. It was so easy to just give in the temptation, to run his hands up and down her silken and willing body. But this wasn’t the time. He should have known that his entire plan would have backfired like this. Instead of the contentment and amusement he sought, he was going to leave this place frustrated and impatient for the future. The only consolation was that she would be waiting at the end. She would be the one to embrace him with open arms once they’ve accomplished what they wanted. He murmured softly for her ears only. “Soon... we’ll be together soon. Can you wait for me?”

There was no immediate reply from Okuda who took the moment to digest his words. Her arms then reached up and wrapped around him, her face nuzzling into his hair as she soaked in the feel of the weight of his body on top of hers. Despite being separated for so long, she still felt so at ease with him.

Okuda didn’t want to let go. She wanted to hold onto him tightly and savor his presence forever. However, she understood his reasons. It was still too early. There were still too many things that need to be done.

She ran her fingers through her hair and whispered sincerely, a tinge of sadness yet understanding underlying her voice. “Always.”

Yeah... X-High... I wasn't creative enough to think of a name. I figured if mangas are allowed to say stuff like that, I should be allowed to do the same, haha.

Oh Okuda, you always have a way of surprising Karma! xD
