Karma Akabane Drabble Pt 3
"Now class I have a very exciting announcement to make this morning." Korosensei spoke up during homeroom. He was aware of circumstances of her suspension and transfer.
Nagisa ducked his head at the announcement, taking a deep breath. It had only been a few weeks since the start of semester, and Karma had already been stirring stuff up in the classroom. Nagisa knew full well just what was going to happen once Cadence stepped foot in the classroom. Nothing was going to be the same..
"Another transfer student? Haven't we had enough after Ritsu?" Rio spoke up, hearing a few students agree.
"Don't worry children, she's a student here at the school. No government transfer student this time." Korosensei assured his students.
Karasuma slid open the door to the classroom, poking his head out to call in the new student.
The classroom waited with baited breath, curious to see who this new transfer student was.
The red head stepped into the classroom with a pleased smile on her face, hands laced behind her back.
"I'd like you all to wel-" Korosensei didn't get a chance to finish his sentence when Cadence's voice rang through the classroom.
"Karma-nii!" She didnt bother waiting for a proper introduction as she beelined for the back of the classroom, immediately latching onto the surprised boy.
The entire classroom erupted in shock, meanwhile Nagisa tried to make himself as small as humanly possible.
It took Karma a moment to react due to shock, but when he did a frown adorned his face. "Wait what are you doing here?" He asked in disbelief.
"More importantly, you never told us you had a sister!" Isogai butted into the conversation.
"Not only that but dang is she a looker." Okajima whistled in appreciation.
Cadence ignored the other comments, nuzzling her cheek against Karma's as she smiled proudly to herself.
"Na. Gi. Sa." Karma called out his best friend, glaring daggers at the back of the bluenette's head as his sister showered him with affection. "You knew about this didn't you?"
Nagisa jolted at the mention of his name, rubbing the back of his head lightly as he turned to face his friend. "Aha...well, she made me promise to keep it a secret." He explained timidly.
Karma let out a sigh before standing up, Cadence still hanging off his neck. "Can we be excused for a moment Korosensei?"
"Of course of course, just don't think about ditching class young man." Korosensei warned him, earning a grin in return.
"Wouldn't think about it." Karma replied easily, dragging his sister out of the classroom, listening to his classmates complain about not sharing and leaving them in the dark.
They walked until Karma was sure they were out of ear shot when he pulled himself out of his sister's grip. "What the hell are you doing?" He demanded, staring into her identical gaze.
Cadence pouted slightly. "I'm coming to attend class with you." She told him, putting her hands on her hips as she huffed.
"I wasn't just about to let you get dropped and suspended for standing up to some jerk off." Cadence stated bluntly, a frown forming on her face. "Why are you so upset? I thought you'd be happy that we could attend class together again."
Karma could feel his temper bubbling beneath the surface. "Because...because you don't belong here damnit!" His hand shot out, punching the wall behind her. She didn't flinch, too used to his outbursts like this.
"What did you do?" He asked, bangs casting a shadow across his face.
"I talked to Principal Asano, but when he refused to let me transfer I forced his hand. I started skipping, I let my grades drop. The breaking point was when I punched Gakushuu though." Cadence explained easily, tilting her head to the side thoughtfully. "He grabbed me in the hallway and I just...lashed out."
Karma retracted his hand from the wall, shoving both hands in his pockets as he turned away from her. "Go back to class." He told her, his voice tense as if he was struggling to keep his composure.
"Wait where are you going?" Cadence reached out for her brother but he shrugged her off.
"I'll be back by lunch." He told her before walking down the hallway away from her.
It didn't take Nagisa long to find the girl huddled up by the shed. He let out a soft sigh as he settled himself down beside her.
"I think the reason Karma is upset..." Nagisa rocked back slightly before returning to his normal position, choosing his words carefully.
"Is because unlike us, you have-er..had?" He shook his head. "You have a brighter future ahead of you." He told her, looking up at the sky. "You were going places, I heard you supposed to get a scholarship to one of the really prestigious high schools. And now you're just...here."
He rubbed the back of his head a bit, glancing over at her. She had her knees pulled up to her chest and her head in her arms, completely blocking herself off from the world.
"He probably feels guilty too cause you did it all for him." He looked out at the field again, scratching his cheek a bit.
Cadence lifted her head as she glanced over at him. "If we even have a future that is." She sighed softly, recalling the debriefing Karasuma had dragged her through regarding their teacher.
"I especially don't regret it now knowing what I know now." Cadence stretched her legs out in front of her. "I doubt Principal Asano would let me back anyway even if I grovelled at his shoes, which I shudder to even imagine doing such a thing."
She hopped to her feet and brushed her skirt off. "I suppose I'll go apologize to my brother." Cadence acted as if it was the hardest thing to do, causing Nagisa to chuckle lightly. "Thanks Nagisa."
Cadence found Karma on the other side of the school, sulking under a tree with his hands jammed in his pockets.
He heard her approach as he leaned against the tree, staring off into the forest that surrounded them on that acursed mountain.
She walked over to him, not stopping until she headbutted his arm gently. "...Im sorry." Cadence mumbled quietly, keeping her head down and continued to press it into his arm.
Karma glanced down at her and listened to her, taking a deep breath before letting it out. He lifted his arm and pulled her against him, letting her nuzzle her head into his neck. "I'd rather keep you where I can see you anyway." He admitted under his breath, just loud enough for her to hear him.
Class continued as normal once all students were settled in.
They were trying to study but..they just couldn't seem to concentrate due to the elephant in the room. Even Korosensei was beginning to turn a pink color.
Cadence had been attached to Karma's hip all day..quite literally. She was currently lounging in his lap, her arms around his neck and face nuzzled into his neck. Karma however, sat watching the front of the classroom as if he didn't even notice his sister's affections.
Korosensei cleared his throat a bit. "Ahem....ah, Cadence...would you, er mind taking your own seat and perhaps...doing some work?" He suggested, his voice raising a few pitches as he spoke.
The glare she sent him caused him to squeal in fear, visibly shaking as he chuckled nervously. "O-Of course there's always the option of doing nothing." He offered.
