Chapter 5: Why Is This Happening?

                                    

                                          

  Karma, Itona, Terasaka and Kimura dashed out of the classroom and down the mountain through the trees. There's only one thing in their minds.
                          
'We need to save Yada-san.'
                          
  Karma and Itona climbed up the trees and began jumping from branch to branch, like a ninja, to see a better view and to be able to move faster.
                          
"Oi, wait up, dammit!" Terasaka said who was just running on the ground with Kimura, a bit behind the three boys. Kimura was the fastest runner of E-class so it wasn't that hard for him to catch up with Karma and Itona's pace.
                          
"Sorry, but we need to hurry." Karma said,
                          
"Its not our fault that you're a slowpoke, moron." Itona added.
                          
"Say what?!" Terasaka snapped.
                          
"Guys, focus. Stop arguing, we need to hurry up and save Yada-san." Kimura said who was already past the 3 boys.
                          
   Karma and Itona just nodded and picked up their pace as Terasaka grumbled and ran faster too.
                          
   Kimura reached the old abandoned stockroom that Okuda said, first. Few moments later Karma and Itona was there followed by a panting Terasaka.
                          
"Took you long enough," Itona muttered.
                          
   They all froze for a quick second when they heard a loud scream from the inside that was probably from Yada.
                          
"Oi, Terasaka, open it up." Itona said.
                          
"Me? Why don't you open it?" Terasaka retorted.
                          
"Why, are you scared?"
                          
"No, Of course not!"
                          
"Then open it."
                          
"Why me?"
                          
"Stop it you two! Stop fighting. Yada-san is in trouble! Just help me over here!" Kimura said as he banged on the door forcefully. Terasaka and Itona soon helped in, trying to break it with brute force.
                          
"Shit! It's fucking padlocked!" Terasaka exclaimed as he desperately tried to break the padlock. Itona and Kimura trying to break the other two locks..
                          
"Goddammit!" Terasaka grumbled in frustration as he kicked and punched the door but it still didn't freaking budged!
                          
"Here, let me," Terasaka heard Karma's voice behind him. He looked around only to scream in surprise when he saw Karma holding up a chainsaw right in front of him.
                          
"What the fuck, Karma!" Terasaka exclaimed.
                          
Karma just smirked, "Let me open this bloody door." He said and turned on the chainsaw.
                          
"Where did you find that?" Itona asked, raising an eyebrow
                          
"Over there!" Karma said pointing at the back of the stockroom with the chainsaw.
                          
"Hey, watch where you're fucking pointing that! You could have killed someone!" Terasaka said who just barely dodged the deadly machine.
                          
"Ah, sorry," Karma grinned sadistically and pointed the saw to the door,
                          
"Hurry up! Break the damn door, Karma!" Kimura said when he realized the screaming stopped.
                          
   Karma complied and began chainsawing the door, the 3 other boys has to stay away to avoid being hit by small wood chunks. When Karma finally broke the door open, that's when they heard an air horn sound and they heard evil laughing.
                          
  Karma threw the chainsaw away carelessly as they all stepped in the old stockroom. When they walked further in the room, their eyes widened in horror and pure shock.
                          
They were too late.
                          
   Yada's body was on the floor, drowning on her own pool of blood. Her head was inside a box that was hanging in the ceiling.
                          
   It was terrible. Their classmate was in a grave danger and they were too late to save her. Guilt was overwhelming them.
                          
"Y-yada-san..." Kimura gasped audibly and breathlessly.
                          
"We... We're too late..." Terasaka muttered.
                          
"What should we do now?" Itona asked.
                          
"Damn this. Who was that fucking person?" Karma said.
                          
"L-lets head back guys." Kimura said, the other three just nodded and went back up the mountain with gloomy and guilty expressions.

   Meanwhile back at the classroom, the shocked, surprised, and horrified tension in the air was still there. No one still got over. Who would even expect that this is going to happen?
                          
  They just got back from a semestral break and now this is happening. And just this morning ago, a dead body was found at the main campus, and now Yada was killed. And it just happened in lunch time, not to mention lunch time isn't over yet.
                          
   Why is this happening? And who was that person? It looked like the person was really angry at them. And that person did it when their teachers aren't around.
                          
"Yada-san! Why does it have to happen to her?" Kayano asked as she buried her face on Nakamura's shoulders who was trying to hold back her own tears.
                          
"Yada was a great person. This is unforgivable," Maehara said.
                          
"Could it be possible that... The person who killed Yada-san was the one responsible for killing the girl in the main campus?" Nagisa mumble.
                          
"Then... Who was that person?" Sugino asked, then suddenly the door opened revealing the 4 boys.
                          
"We're sorry guys. We were too late." Terasaka begun.
                          
"If only we moved faster... We could have saved her... We're sorry..." Kimura added, as he began trembling, trying to stop himself from crying. Karma and Itona stayed silent, but still felt the guilt.
                          
"No, you don't have to apologize guys. We... We didn't even expected this to happen. This isn't your fault." Isogai said.
                          
"Yeah! It was that damn person's fault." Maehara said, punching his desk.
                          
   Everyone stayed silent and just sat on their seats. None of them could even utter a word.
                          
   That's when a blur came in from the window, and there stood their big yellow teacher who has a really cheerful smile on his face, not aware of anything that have happened when he was gone.
                          
"Hello, everyone!!" Koro-sensei exclaimed happily, ready to tell his students what he just did in some country when he saw the whole class looking down, some were trembling and some were still sobbing and crying. And it made him worry.
                          
"Is everything alright?" The worried sensei asked.
                          
"S-sensei..." Kanzaki choked.
                          
"Wait, where is Yada-san?" Koro-sensei asked when he saw her seat empty.
                          
   And there it goes, Kayano, Nakamura, Kurahashi, Kanzaki and some of the girls bursted into tears, some of the guys stayed quiet or cried silently.
                          
"Koro-sensei..." Nagisa got the courage to speak, he clenched his fist in his lap, looking down.
                          
"Yada-san... Sh-she's dead..."
