Y/n was fuming, everything seemed to go so south in her life and it was time for her to switch things up. She didn't even know where she was going, she was walking around the school stepping onto grass and then back to the school's pathway. She eventually spotted some soda can, left lazily on the floor when there was a bin right next to it.

She decided to take her anger out on it and she kicked it as hard as she could. Her eyes were glued to the floor so she didn't notice that she accidentally kicked it, at someone.

The soda can rolled and landed at their shoe, suddenly they stomped on it, making a loud crack under his shoe. She looked up and saw someone with unkempt, shoulder-length blonde hair and thin yellow eyes. He is seen to be wearing a white button up shirt and black pants, he has an X shaped scar on his cheek. He wears a jacket as a cape.

"You do realize who's territory your in, right? My territory." He spoke, staring down at her. When Y/n looked up at him, it made the sun pierce her eyes. "Huh, your territory? No wonder it's full of trash." Y/n rolls her eyes, humans in general are so irritating sometimes, she wishes she could get rid of them all.

"I'm going to be nice, since I'm guessing due to my absence you don't know who you're dealing with." He grabs her collar, lifting her off the ground and pushing her against the building wall.

"My boys over there, told me everything about you and your little boyfriend. I also heard a whole lot about your little 'discussion' with Horuda Puresu, if you want her to talk so bad you use your fist, not words." He drops her, he's standing way too close for comfort. From an onlookers perspective this would be a very awkward thing to see, Y/n looks up at him and it seems he notices the problem, he steps back giving her space.

"Well... Thanks, what's your name?" Y/n questions, brushing grass off her bum.

"Osorō Shidesu." Osorō says, he immediately gets back to his original conversation, "Dealing with people through compassion is a waste, they'll notice your not messing around with them, after a single punch. I can deal with Horuda."

"You, don't need to hurt her yet, I'm trying to get her to tell me naturally." Y/n responds, looking him up and down, he smirks.

"Oh? You don't want me, to hurt her yet. I hear you loud and clear, you must be real desperate to get mixed in with someone like me." Osorō smugly spoke, he wasn't wrong, she needed the proof for that officer by Friday and Horuda knows something.

"Yes, I am desperate." Y/n states, his eyes widen briefly before grinning. "Desperate people do, crazy things Y/n. Remember that, be here 5:50 PM, bring Horuda." Osorō commands, he doesn't wait for her to reply, he walks off with his cape swaying side to side, with each step he took.

Once he left, she began to walk off and turned at a corner, bumping into someone. They fell with a thud and she was a bit dazed already, since she hadn't been taking her pills.

She opened her eyes to see Ayato on the floor, she laughed and held a hand out to him.

Her soft smooth hand stretched out to him, his heart pounded and he felt those butterflies in his stomach, flapping about. She had him by the leash, he'd follow her to the ends off the earth, she is everything to him.

"Ayato, Yan, Yato?" Y/n asked, giving him a stupider and stupider name due to his lack of response. He took her hand and she pulled him up, his hand didn't leave her's. She shook her hand free and laughed,"Did I push you that hard? Your so...Spaced out right now."

For some reason he doesn't know how to answer.

What should he do? Lie. Say an Excuse. Tell her the truth?

This is what he gets for stalking her and then running into her...

"I'm... Alright." Ayato replied, he couldn't even look into the eyes of a Goddess like Y/n, he never felt this nervous around her but she made him feel all sorts of things, she blesses him constantly, even just by her presence alone.

"I'll have to see you around Yan. Sorry, I've got martial arts practice." Y/n smiles weakly, she gives him a pat on the shoulder before rushing off.

He'd never wash this shirt again, he could still feel the warmth her hand left on his shoulder. Or that time, he snuck into her house and took that bar of soap she always used. Oh, Y/n. She will be his, it seems Osorō is a new problem. He's also Ackademi's 'problem' it will be easy to make him disappear non-lethally.

If I can't have her, no one can.

"Focus, Y/n. Keep your eyes focused on me." Budo says, keeping his stance up, while Y/n was left a breathless mess, barely being able to dodge his last attack. She feels a genuine fear when he swings that stick thing? Bat? At her, she's mainly trying to dodge his attacks but she's slowly realizing he's going for all her weak points, which means her sides.

But what's the point in realizing that so late?

She fell to the floor with a thud, and she felt the wind getting knocked out of her lungs in one fell swoop. Her face was damp with sweat, and she heaved in and out, she felt greedy trying to intake so much oxygen. Budo stared down at her, in his martial arts uniform with a smile on his face, he didn't even break a sweat this entire time.

She likes Budo but he always leaves her so breathless, while he remains unfazed by it all.

She heard he liked the previous leader off the club, Raibru, Y/n has zero chance at this point, she heard that she was a martial arts Goddess. While, Y/n can barely last ten seconds without getting pummeled by Budo.

"Excellent job, Y/n! You lasted longer this time, I'm impressed!" Budo cheers, holding a hand out towards her, Y/n's vision doubled and it spun. He seemed to notice her dazed expression and he knelt down, and moved closer to her till they where side to side. Her arm was over his shoulder so he wrapped his arm around her waist to help her up.

He lifted her up off the floor, Y/n was now stable to stand on the floor but Y/n must admit, she's a greedy person. She leaned on him so she could feel some of those muscles he had, he didn't notice and thought she needed his help.

He really is anything a girl could ask for. They made eye contact. Y/n saw a sudden flash off her and Budo, their wedding, the house they'd buy together, her having a business because she's fancy like that and a cute cat!

Ew no. That's something Ayato would probably do with Taeko. Wait, didn't he like her? Isn't she also the one who told him Kizano liked her and soon after he literally got crushed.

Budo made her realize something, oh Budo. She wanted to give him a massive kiss right now, "Thank you Budo, I'll be here same time!" Y/n says rushing out the martial arts club, Budo is left confused, scratching his head as he watches her run off he smiled as he watched her rush off, "Have a good day....Y/n."

She goes to the bathroom on the third floor, remembering Oko talking about a spirit, that was trapped there for all of eternity, forever bound to Ackademi high. She locks herself inside a toilet stall, pulling out her notebook, that's coated in those stickers Musume liked to stick onto everything she owned. It also 'fitted her aesthetic' and she said Y/n's notebook needed an upgrade so she fixed it.

She skims past old evidence and goes for a fresh lined page, she begins to write down some titles.

Motive

Someone liking Taeko to the extent, they'd murder someone for her.

(This is a very outlandish, idea since no one could be THAT, crazy but it's a possibility.)

Proof for this idea. That time Ayato said, "Taeko is really popular with the guys." When she went to his house to help with his Taeko crush.

The multiple guys including Osana that have pursued her throughout these 8 weeks.

All either, got rejected, stabbed, crushed, suicide or drowned.

I don't know why her sister was suddenly killed.

Other possiblity

Someone could have a vendetta against the majority of the club leaders and Osana

Physical evidence Tape of Morse code

Demon mask

Literally a dead crow

Heard on Yaobook that the gardening club leader has an infestation of crows, possible lead.

The photo of the killer

Biological Possibly a hair sample that got left in that science club machine

Time/date/place

11:34 PM Recording of Osana's rejection and what time it was posted.

Suspects

Ayato

Horuda Puresu

Ackademi 123 identity - Musume Ronshaku Possibly sharing an account with another user since it has been recently used.

people she told her website about including: Kokona, Saki, Frueddo, Horuda

Extra information

There has to be an accomplice in the murders as the killer in the image is definitely a man

That distorted audio, that announced Oko's secrets are possibly female

Horuda most likely intentionally tried to drop my camera, to dispose of evidence

Ayato always goes on his phone and then Musume appears

Some texts where clearly deleted because some of the chats don't make sense

Horuda was apart of her project, when she created Yaobook but she was off sick for the majority of the project.

She still had access to the codes, fills and the website itself.

maybe while she made the website

Taeko's favorite cafe is Amao's family bakery

Ayato starts working at her job

Mysterious person (Horuda sneaking in) Horuda also in the cooking club at the time.

Also snuck into drama club, confirmed by a drama member spotting her stealing gloves.

^to hide killer's fingerprints

The listening device Ayato had in his room, that she found. It is a similar brand to info chan's, she needs to purchase one to confirm.

Witness

Saki cooking club Random drama club member Kokona.

Despite all these notes and what her friends have been telling her, her brain ignores the facts. Is he dangerous after all? He can't be, right? He's so nice to her... He shouldn't waste his kindness on someone like her. Why would he go out of her way to be so nice and gentle?

"Thank you, for sticking by my side when everyone else left, Ayato." She remembers telling him, he simply smiled and she decided to be bold and lay her head on his shoulder as they watched a movie. He's been there for her, more than her own father has and that tells her something.

Everyone, she tries to keep close leaves her eventually, she thinks she's just been cursed from birth. She didn't think it was possible for your own father to ignore you but he proved her wrong.

Everything has just become so confusing for her, she just wants to give up. Saki might be at another school but that doesn't mean she's stopped searching for the killer as well.

She's never wanted her two best friends by her side more.

That dream she had in class, what did it mean? Why was Kokona telling her the evidence is right in front of her? Does that mean she knows the killer, on a personal level? So, is that just further proof that it's him?

She exits the bathroom stall, there's something unnerving about this bathroom, there was a rumour. A rumour that someone died in this very bathroom, even Oko told her about it aswell, saying a phone would allow you to see the spirit, only if they wated you to.

He said it was like a key, to unlock the world off the dead, if that was true, did she just have to find all the locations the victims died in and she might see them?

She holds up her phone, aiming at the center of the bathroom wall, click.

She almost dropped her phone in horror, the spirit had pale grey skin, a ripped version of Ackademi's 1980s uniform and short auburn bobbed hair. She has a completely black face aside from a glowing yellow eye. She also has two blue hitodama on either side of her.

This was getting way to weird for her, she dashed out the bathroom, refusing to ever look back.

She also had to ignore the crawling feeling of eyes on her back, she decides to head to lunch and she sits down on a bench. She sees people start picking up their bags and whispering, moving away from her, he stomach grumbles in pain since she's skipped breakfast, again.

Someone's shoulder slides into her side and she turns her head to look at them, Ayato. When did she start randomly smiling, and tucking her hair behind her ear? "I noticed that you didn't bring any lunch so I made you some." Ayato smiles, holding the bento box out to her.

She takes it from him, once she opens it her mouth waters at how amazing it smells. She already knows he's an excellent cook and she can't wait to swallow this whole thing down, "Thank you so much Ayato." Y/n spoke, sounding as if she was about to cry from such a small gesture of kindness, people shouldn't waste waste such kind acts on her.

"You left your pills on your desk in class, here." Ayato places the pill bottle in her hand, she doesn't remember leaving it there but eh, he found them at least. They began to fall into banter and Y/n was finding it harder and harder to stay awake.

Did she mess up her sleep schedule or something? Maybe, not eating a lot has finally started effecting her? She can't see a reason to get out of bed once she gets home anyways, she just locks her room door and waits for tomorrow to come and go so she gets things over with.

She didn't want to be rude so she didn't say anything, she didn't want to stop their conversation, considering he went out of his way to prepare and cook her lunch.

Yeah... She needed something to lie on, he would do for now as her pillow.

"Sorry..." Y/n mumbles, as her head lays rest on his shoulder, he goes stiff for a moment before relaxing once more, her beauty is mesmerizing and he analyzes her features. "Is it you?" Y/n murmurs she slip into the world of slumber, "No, Y/n, I want to protect you. I would never lie to you." Ayato whispers back, she gently nods.

"Sh, just go to sleep Y/n, you need it. I'll be here so you'll be fine." Ayato whispers, she smiles slightly in response before nodding off to sleep. He's glad she's becoming more submissive and depending on him, he has to make her food , check on her and now she's wrapped around his finger. She's truly perfect in everyway... But she has a knack for attracting bad company and as a result she's facing the consequences. Having to be in a state where she's at war with her own mind, she'll understand that everything he does is for them.

His face felt so hot right now, Y/n is sleeping on his shoulder. He felt his breathing increase rapidly and his heart was about to jump out of his chest! He really wants to take another picture of her sleeping, she's comfortable enough to sleep on him, this feels like a dream! Those sedatives worked like a charm.

He takes this opportunity of their isolated surroundings to, remove the scissor from his pocket, to careful snip off the loose button on her uniform.

He's definitely keeping that button forever and he's keeping Y/n to himself. That delinquent boy is a bad influence, getting involved when he has no purpose here.

He knows how to deal with him.

Soon after, he carried Y/n off to the nurse's office. "Hello dearie, carrying your girlfriend to the nurse's office? How charming, lay her down there, she's in good hands so you can run along for now and check on her later." The nurse's says, she has a bob cut with chestnut coloured hair, she smiles at him and digs her hand in her pocket giving him a lemon sweet.

He raises his eyebrow but he takes it anyways, he spares Y/n one last glance before heading off to watch Osorō. The boy was a delinquent, pure trouble, he had enough faith in Y/n to not succumb to the lies Osorō must fill her head with and that she would fall in love with someone like that.

He overheard they were going to confront Horuda, that would surely be troublesome for him.

Y/n woke up with a yawn, "Afternoon, miss Ronshaku, your boyfriend dropped you off here, saying you needed rest." The nurse smiles, Y/n slowly gets out of bed, throwing her legs over the side, she doesn't even process her words. She checks her phone and sees the time, she almost jumps out of her skin.

She manages to round up Horuda and get her to follow her to the back of the school, Osorō is there bat in hand. Click. "I need to ask you something Horuda and you need to answer truthfully." Y/n says, Horuda's eyes widen and she takes a big gulp, guilt is radiating off her.

"Are you the killer's accomplice?" Y/n gets straight to point and Horuda steps back looking side to side for an escape, "Horuda! Look at me, do you know how many people have died? I understand that you must be terrified right now, especially since your involved with the killer. Telling me the truth now will get you far, Horuda. I'll lock them behind bars."

"I...I'm not involved with the killer! He, um, I-I would never, please believe me!" Horuda pleads and Ososrō scoffs, Y/n crosses her arms and she sees that she's caught Horuda out on something.

"I neved said the killer was a 'he' Horuda. Tell me where you were, that day when the mask in the drama club went missing in the morning and the killer was conveniently wearing it! Tell me!" Y/n begins, she grabs Horuda's shoulder, holding her in place and Ososrō smirks.

"Please...I don't know!"Horuda sobs, Y/n is getting a bit sick and tired off her antics. "You were seen by drama club members, does that ring a bell? You also tried disposing my evidence off my camera and it was you speaking on the audio. Saki saw you sneaking into the room to announce what Oko did to the whole school. Now, do you get it? I know what you've done, fessing up will help you." Y/n spoke, in a frightfully calm tone, her eyes were blank and she began to dig her nails into Horuda's shoulder.

"I-I helped him, I'm sorry! He...said he'd get rid of the bullies for me and I was so scared...I helped him I'm a killer!" Horuda falls to her knees crying and Y/m sits next to her rubbing her back, she turns the voice recorder off, she's admitted it and that's all she needs.

"You've done a good thing, now I can get all those people justice." Y/n gives Horuda a pat on the shoulder and abruptly walks off with Osorō following behind, "Didn't know you made people cry in your free time." Ososrō grins, with his bat in hand still, Y/n gives him a side eye and shrugs.

"I don't see what you did back there, all you did was stand there, what was your purpose in coming anyways." Y/n said, looking into his eyes.

"Well, I got her to tell you something, I was there to purely to intimidate her. It worked didn't it?" Osorō says and Y/n rolls her eyes.

"She's scared off everything, that's the thing." Y/n responded and Ososrō fake gasps, the two walk together along with an unknown third party, following them. Ayato glared at Ososrō, Ososrō didn't even bother going to the guidance counselor after being instructed to.

Ayato had placed some cigarettes inside his bag and soon enough due to Ososrō's already bad influence in the school he'll be expelled quite quickly.

Horuda better not slip up again, she runs into the alleyway he's in, in town and she starts that same annoying heap of crying, "I'm sorry...I didn't mean to! Please, give me another chance! I won't let that happen again." Horuda says, on her knees sobbing, Ayato looks down at her as if she's a rodent.

He grabs her wrist, hard enough to leave a bruise,"You want me to kill those bullies right?" Ayato stares her down. "Yes, I do! I won't mess up...Again." Horuda, looks down in shame.

"If I see you running your mouth again, you will wish I just killed you." Ayato spat, casting her wrist aside,"You'll be nothing but some rotting corpse, with flies buzzing around you. You will not stop me from achieve my goal, you do not want to become an obstacle in my path."

Horuda hears the thud off his footsteps, as he vanished into the night, she didn't want to die.

No one truly wants to die.
