Thread: Ansatsu Kyōshitsu: Bye Bye Yesterday (Athene & East)

Megu Kataoka It was hard some days to think that seven years had really passed. Some nights, it felt like just yesterday when Nagisa had been given the hardest graduation test to kill their own teacher, Koro-Sensei. She didn't blame him for going through with the act. As far as Megu knew, no one did, nor should they have the right to try to make him feel more guilt than he was likely carrying. The truth was, they had been told and warned from day one of meeting Koro-Sensei that they would have to kill him. Otherwise ... the world as they knew it would have vanished. Still, Megu had been on the 'Save' team with her other classmates for a reason. They had all believed that maybe there was a chance, no matter how slim, that Koro could otherwise be saved. There was an alternative for everything . Surely, assassinations could have been included in that logic, right? That wasn't how it ended up going with the class of 3-E. No one liked it ... but when the opportunity presented itself, they knew there was no choice. It had to be grasped. Everything began to vividly haunt Megu's mind. From the silver moon beaming down on everyone to all the people sans Nagisa holding Koro-Sensei down, and even recalling Nagisa thrusting the knife down. It hadn't been a bloody assassination, thankfully. But that didn't make it any less sad. All of the students - and even their other instructors - had cried with the 3-E pupils. NO! KORO-SENSEI! Megu panted heavily, eyes shooting open as she looked frantically around from side to side. On her bedside mantle was a digital clock, with the red digits reading 1323 PM. Her normally neat, blonde locks had gotten slightly disheveled, her skin coated in a bit of a cold sweat. But most of all, she glanced down and reminded herself she was no longer a teenager. Finally, she was a woman. Twenty-one, to be exact. Crap! Megu exclaimed, You idiot! When'd you even fall asleep?! Ahhh, no matter! You have a flight in several hours! Need to get ready! Megu hastily slid out from under the covers and walked through her efficiency. A quick walk later, she found the room she had been seeking out the bathroom. Despite now being pressed for time, it'd be foolish of Megu to run and risk injuring herself. It was the only reason she wasn't running, even in her own residence. Furthermore, there was no point going in to work looking as if she'd seen a ghost which, while it wasn't a completely incorrect excuse to say, still wasn't her style. She never half-assed anything Megu wasn't about to begin including her appearance, particularly for her job, anytime soon. Her hand briefly fumbled around. Once it found and activated the light switch, she stepped inside and began shedding her clothes. Her feet moved herself closer as she leaned forward and turned the water on. When she felt the temperature was perfect for her, Megu began quickly washing her body and hair. ... It didn't turn out to be a half-assed shower, but certainly quicker than usual. Unfortunately, it was one of those necessary evils. Now that she was dressed and had everything she needed, however, Megu was definitely running. Every now and again, she pulled at her uniform , ensuring everything was still straight and tucked away in its proper place. Taxi! She called out, holding her hand up high. Airport, please. As quickly as humanly possible, if you don't mind. Hearing all the driver needed to, he nodded and pressed firmly down on the accelerator. He wasn't outright speeding, but definitely going faster than most other vehicles were. He'd obviously noted the urgency in her voice ... and secretly, Megu greatly appreciated that.
