Y/n sat at her dinning room table, her father's eyes refused to leave his plate, which consisted of bacon, eggs and toast. She could hear his utensils scrap across the porcelain plate and the silence was killing her. Normally, she couldn't stomach any food but now she shoved food down her throat with each bite, hoping her chewing would overpower the quiet.

They both sat at opposite ends off the table.

She gulped down an entire glass off water, along with one of her pills, was it always this hot in this room?

"Y/n." Her father starts, his eyes still don't meet hers, "I want you to stay away from that Aishi kid, I have a feeling he's nothing but trouble. I absolutely forbid you from being anywhere near him." He says and his knife and fork clatter against the plate.

"I understand, but-" Y/n gets cut off by her father, this is why she doesn't talk to him. "There are no buts, you will stay away from him or will start picking you up after school." He threatened, Y/n scoffed a bit too loudly and his head immediately perked up giving her a glare. She's already established that Ayato is killer, this isn't new news.

He never ever looked her way, even though she was his daughter so this 'protective behavior thing' was really confusing her. "This isn't a joke Y/n, I'm sure he is connected to her death, Musume shouldn't have been taken so soon." Her father looks at her as if it was her fault, as if he wished deep down inside, that she was the one getting placed in a box under ground so she wouldn't burden him.

"I'll stay away from him then, I understand completely that this isn't a joke. I'm prosecuting him for everything he's done at Akademi, soon he'll be behind bars." Y/n states, she's interupted by her father, laughing. "You're still trying this stupid detective stuff? I thought you left that dream behind by now, your older now and you should be aware that you're simply not capable of having a job like that." He laughs, staring her dead in the eyes.

"You're already so dramatic, saying you've got this thing called 'depression' so you're refusing to eat, not going to that stupid club Musume told me you always go to, you lashing out at me, locking yourself in your room and acting like some child!" He slams his fist into the table causing Y/n to sink into her chair and look anywhere but into his eyes.

"You wouldn't know how I acted as a child..." Y/n mumbles and her father stops talking, "What was that Y/n? If you want to be heard, speak up." He spoke, staring right through her. "You wouldn't of know how I acted as a child, since you weren't therefore me!" Y/n shouts, standing up from her seat so quickly, it falls back onto the floor with a thud.

"I know you were some immature, selfish, loud, brat!" He yelled, Y/n feels like a child again listening to her parents arguing, except now it was targeted at her. "How can you honestly stand there and tell me I was some nightmare child when all you did was shove me in my room and lock the door! I've always been your 'problem' child, well why didn't you see how Musume treated me and how lovingly you were towards her!" Y/n screamed, her voice was louder than his and he took a step back as she yelled.

"Why did it have to be Musume? Why aren't you like her? Why are you still here!?" Her father shrieked, the words in Y/n's throat died almost instantly, he wished it was her that died? Her eyes widened and her throat tightened to the point it burnt, she sniffled, trying not to cry in front off him.

Tears welled up in her eyes, her vision blurred and she rubbed them away, it was getting harder and harder to not to cry from his words. He stood there, frozen, not knowing what to do or say ; of course he wouldn't know how to handle a situation like this, he was never there to comfort her.

She felt her world crashing down, splitting into millions off pieces she'd never be able to piece back together, even if she tried those pieces would dig deep into her skin. "I see how much I mean to you... I guess there's something we can both relate on... I wish you died instead of mum, I might have not known her well but she loved me, she cared. Something you haven't been able to give me for the past 18 years!" Y/n screams, she was breathing in and out a lot, trying to suppress her tears, all that could be heard in the room was her sniffling.

She had her fists balled, at each side off her hip, with tears streaming down her face yet no sound came out of her mouth. She was a storm prepared to conjure havoc in her wake but she stood still, unnervingly still, as if she was processing his words.

She rushed upstairs, shoving her uniform and random pieces off clothing into a pink suitcase, along with the key she stole from her father, that unlocked Musume's room. She entered Musume's room, it was the cleanest she's ever seen it, everything neatly folded and packed away. It's as if no one had ever resided inside the room in the first place.

She spotted Musume's phone, which had been left on her nightstand, this will be vital for evidence as it shows the fact messages had been deleted during her and Ayato's chat history. She doesn't have Ayato's phone to prove the Akademi_123 account belongs to more than one person but she'll take a step at a time.

She shoved it into her pocket, she was already in her uniform so she grabbed her pink suitcase's handle and began descending the stairs to be met by her father, "If you step one foot out that door, you will never be let back in here!" He threatened, blocking her path between her and the door.

"I wonder how it must feel, now that your losing two daughters but it probably won't affect you much since you only cared about one of them!" Y/n snaps, barging past him and leaving.

Ring.

Ring.

"Taeko?"

"Y/n, what's going on? You okay?"

"Yeah... Could I stay at your place for a bit, please Taeko? I'll buy you that book you've always wanted."

"Y/n! You don't need to bribe me, of course you can stay. Afterall, I have been forcing you to get out of bed so we could go to the café with me."

"Thanks, Taeko."

Y/n rubs her eyes, she can't stop the tears running down her face, her neighbor sees, "Oh, Y/n! What has that foolish father of your's done." Amao's grandma asked, she holds her arms out and hugs Y/n tightly. "Everything so complicated, he's, he's kicked me out! My friend is coming to get me." Y/n sobs, she rubs Y/n's back.

"You wait for you friend, I'll deal with him." Amao's grandma stomps over to her father's house and Y/n sits down on her porch, with her suitcase next to her. "Mr Ronshaku! Mr Ronshaku! Get out here, right now!"

Her father pulls the door open with a great amount off strength, "It's Rokuda! She's not coming back into this house-" He gets interupted by his neighbor, who shouts over him, now they are both having a screaming match.

Y/n places earbuds inside her ears, feeling music pour down her ear channel, blocking out he sound of her sniffles and their argument.

Taeko's mother's car stops in front her house and she honks her horn. There was a pause since the song on her playlist was changing to the next one so she heard her honks. Y/n rushes over ignoring her dad's call and Taeko's mother puts her suitcase in the trunk before opening the door to let her in.

After a very eventful morning, Taeko, her and her little brother where sitting at the fountain, Y/n stared at the ripples in the water as Taeko read and her brother sat in-between them both. His name is Hanakō, he has short black hair and round dark brown eyes. His bangs are held up by a heart-shaped clip.

Y/n briefly saw, Kokona and Musume staring up at her, from the water in the fountain, Y/n retrieved a pill out off her pocket. She didn't have any water so she dry swallowed the pill, she hates stupid hallucinations playing with her heartstrings.

She's so worthless.

Kokona and Musume, the two people she failed.

Maybe she should join them, she stares down at the orange bottle off pills in her hand. How many would it take to overdose?

"This school is absolutely amazing! I'm so happy to be here!" Hanakō beams, holding onto his sister's arm and rocking her back and forth, almost making her lose her balance and fall into the fountain. "I promise I'll make you proud, okay? Thank you for believing in me, Y/n!" He releases Taeko and latches onto Y/n, hugging her waist and smiling up at her.

Y/n doesn't really know what to do so she just pats his head and he starts giggling, then he continues looking over Taeko's shoulder to read along with her. She remembers when, Hanakō openly stated, that he doesn't want his sister getting a boyfriend because then she'll forget about him but also saying he wants Y/n marry him.

Taeko always flushes red when he says things like that and profusely apologies for his behavior. Before she got kicked out of her house, she helped Taeko get Hanakō from his old school sometimes, that's why he's a bit clingy towards her. If Taeko isn't around she's the substitute.

Later on, Y/n mindlessly strolls through the halls, her bones felt heavy and overall she felt as if she was going to drop dead any second. People make a path for her so they aren't near her, no one wants to be near a 'killer.'

Psst.

Psst.

Y/n?

Y/n's head turns in the direction of the mysterious whisperer, she heard someone's footsteps going up the stairs so she rushed into the bathroom. It was quite dark in there so she didn't realize Taeko was right in her face till, Taeko switched on the lights.

Y/n stepped back to give her some space, "Y/n, could you please help me find my brother a friend? Or maybe a girlfriend? He follows me around so much, I can barely get anytime by myself without him popping up." Taeko pleads, a noise makes Taeko pull Y/n close and hold a hand over her mouth.

"Big sis? Taeko? Y/nnnn? Where are you?" Hanakō hissed, he stopped his calls when someone approached him, "Are you lost? I've been hearing newcomers are arriving to this school." The person says to Hanakō.

"I am new and my big sister and her friend left me! I can't find them anywhere!" Hanakō huffs, Taeko assumes he's crossing his arms right now with that same childish pout on his face.

Y/n moves closer to the exit so she could possibly see the person, who's talking to Hanakō, Taeko tries pulling her back but Y/n tries to pull Taeko close to the exit aswell but she feels too weak. Her head peaks out, hmm... Black hair, pale porcelain skin, white button up and black trousers...Ayato.

"It's A y a t o." Y/n breaks his name down into letters and Taeko just gives her a blank stare. "I'm going to go to my brother, come Y/n." Taeko whispers, and she waits for Y/n to leave the bathroom, "Y/n? Let's go." Taeko says again.

"He's there."

"Who? Ayato? What's wrong with that?" Taeko asks, Y/n just rolls her eyes and slowly exists the bathroom, trying to slow down her inevitable fate. "Y/n. There you are, how have you been?" Ayato smiles at her, he ignores Hanakō's protests and Y/n can't be bothered to give him some fake smile, "My dad kicked me out my house." Y/n says honestly, she feels embarrassed to say it out loud.

"I'm sorry to hear that Y/n...You can stay at my house." Ayato suggests, Hanakō goes quiet, Taeko does and Y/n, he raises his eyebrow clearly confused, "What?" He asks, Y/n almost doesn't want to tell him but she decides to, "Oh, I'm staying at... Taeko's house. Sorry." Y/n says, crossing her arms, she wouldn't want to stay at his house anyways he's literally a murderer, no serial killer.

"Oh, well that's great. As long as you have somewhere to stay, Y/n." He sighs, sounding defeated, his shoulders sink and he looks at the floor as if the floor could possibly convince Y/n to make her stay at his house instead.

"It's just, Yua, she- Ran away and I miss her so much." A tear runs down his face and it shatters Y/n's heart to hear something has happened to Yua, she immediately gives him a hug and Ayato returns the hug. Why is it always Yua? It's always his number one excuse to get her to come over, she is a bit worried still.

In all honesty, she's scared for Yua, since he's capable of murdering a human, he'd have absolutely no problems settling for something smaller.

She just awkwardly hugs him, trying not to flinch when his hand touches her, there is so much blood is on his hands...

Hanakō is the only one who saw that smile on his face, as if he was happy his cat was lost and now he was making Y/n come to his house.

"I'm sorry to hear that Ayato, I could come over after school to help- But after, I'm still going to stay at Taeko's house though..." Y/n answers, she just wants to make sure Yua's safe then she'll leave, hopefully she's made that clear to Ayato.

He wished he killed Kokona, even though she isn't here and instead she's stuck rotting in some jail cell, she still manages to haunt him and manipulate Y/n.

Y/n won't reach Taeko's house.

"Sure." He responded, he wanted torture Kokona till she was unrecognizable, cuts would be scattered all over her and she'd be a bruised mess, he wouldn't let her die, he'd let her suffer and wish she was dead.

"I have to go up to the Photography club, I'll see you guys after class." Y/n speaks with haste, she turns and begins to descend the stairs. "Y/n! Have you seen those posters around school?" Hanakō shouts, Taeko shushes him since he's drawing attention to all three off them.

"What posters?" Ayato questions, Hanakō looks up at him in fear, Hanakō steps closer to his sister and Taeko doesn't notice how scared he lookes off Ayato. Y/n's chest heaved in and out, once she reached the third floor, she stumbled on the last step but she managed to stop herself from falling.

She pulls the photography club door open and guess who she bumps into?

Beruma.

"You are not welcome here anymore, you killer!" Beruma shouts, pointing at the poster of her face with a big red x on it, clearly alot of hate was put into that x because it seemed the coloring pencil they used ripped through the paper, slightly.

"You think that's going to stop me? Move. I'm not here for you." Y/n pushes her out the way and pulls away the curtains to see Frueddo, "I need to talk to you." Y/n says, she immediately sees the members mumbling between one another, "Be careful Fred." A member said, Y/n sent them a harsh glare, she wanted to be petty and say your next to die but it was a 1 v 5 and she's not Budo so she'd lose.

"Can't you see your interrupting us?" Frueddo yell whispers, Y/n's taken aback by his word's, now he wants nothing to do with her, huh? "Your club isn't more important than people's lives, remember them? The killer we were ACTUALLY looking for! You need to help us in court." Y/n responded, Frueddo shakes his head in disagreement.

"Beruma is right, you have known every single victim, one way or another. I'm not going to court with you to put an innocent person behind bars when you're the killer!" Frueddo spat, Y/n just stared at him.

"I'm the killer? After all we've been through, you decide to listen to Beruma's stupidness, I thought you were the club leader not her." Y/n replies, why is Frueddo acting like this, because of one thing Beruma said?

"Leaders actually listen to what other people have to say, unlike you. My parent's are right and so is Beruma, I do need to stay away from you." Frueddo answers coldly, she almost can't believe he's saying this, photography club members begin to emerge from behind the curtains.

"You think I'm the killer? My sister is dead, my best friend is behind bars and the people I know are gone and dead and all I've tried to do is help!" Y/n spoke, trying not to shout in his face, her fists are balled up and she's honestly ready to punch this b-

"That's rich coming from you." Beruma inputs, Y/n chooses to ignore her but only this one time.

"Maybe, your horrible sister dying is your comeuppance for killing so many people and actually making me believe you were trying to help! Your a sick, twisted and disgusting person and now the whole school kn-" Frueddo is cut off by a punch to his face.

Thud.

He lands to the floor, blood dripping like a tap from his nose.

Everyone was frozen, even Y/n, she stares down at her hands, opening her palm to see blood.

The sense of realization washes over her, she needs to get out of here.

"Hey! This killer is trying to run away-" Beruma stops talking after she's been hit with a tripod camera.

Y/n drops the tripod to the floor, backing away from what she's done.

A girl with long, wavy, dirty blonde hair, lunges at her, "How dare you hurt Beruma! You evil witch!" Dafuni Bureiku says, grabbing her wrists to stop her from doing anything further, Y/n shakes her off and she falls to the floor.

"What were you thinking! Attacking three students! We do not tolerate this kind off behavior at this school! This will get you sent to prison in the real world!" Genka shouts, slamming her hands onto the desk, Y/n flinches and crosses her arms tighter.

"What do you have to say for yourself Y/n!"

"They were spoke about my dead sister!" Y/n suddenly yelled, and she was standing up while the guidance counselor was frozen in place, "They said I was some killer! They even have my photo up in their club like I'm some criminal that's going to kill them!" Y/n continues, she's just getting everything off her chest right now, oh how she hates Ayato so much.

She wants to choke him till the life leaves his body, she wants to hit him over and over again till his skull caved in and most off all she wants him behind bars.

"Almost everyone is scared off me and you think this wouldn't happen eventually! Why aren't the people who say terrible things about me in here? Or is the reason they aren't here, is because you agree! You think I'm a killer!" Y/n says, the room falls silent and that practically confirms her assumption.

"You will be suspended for two days." The counselor concludes.

"Is this what you do when problems happen-"

"Your free to leave."

Y/n stormed out off her office, this is so ridiculous, she doesn't notice the person she hits with a door. "Y/n are you-" Ayato is cut off by her, why was he even standing directly outside Genka's office anyways? Was he waiting for her? He's such a freakish stalker. "Ayato, please move out my way, before I say something horrible." Y/n steps past him, she definitely will tell him exactly what she thinks about him if she tries to push her over the edge one more time.

"I'll see you after school then." Ayato reminds her, shut the hell up Ayato. Y/n internally rolls her eyes but this is for Yua, she'll go look now since she's being sent home anyways. She swaps the shoes in her locker, with the ones she's wearing and she heads out, leaving school while the sun is still high in the sky.

She quickly snuck into her father's garden and used a lockpick to get into the shed to retrieve her bicycle. Once she started cycling, she fell back into her usual rhythm, she felt calm and at peace. She cycled through Ayato's neighborhood shouting, "Yua! Yua!"

She decided to sit on the pavement for a bit, she knows it's gross to sit there but she's so tired. Unbeknownst to her, she'd been out there for hours and Ayato was there watching her.

He had Yua in a cat carrier, he opens the cage and Yua heads towards her, he's glad Y/n can't see him.

Yes, he lied.

Yua didn't 'run away' but it's fine if Y/n thinks she did.

"Yua! I'm so happy that I found you! Where have you been? You silly cat, you had me worried sick." Y/n strokes Yua's fur and she meows up at Y/n, Y/n notices a long black strand off hair on her coat.

This isn't Ayato's hair, his isn't this long. Who else does she know with long black hair? Taeko and Horuda. It must be Horuda's, this confirms that they met up recently and in his house. She doesn't want to lose the stand so she takes off her phone case and places it inside, clicking her phone and the case back together.

She gets up, picking Yua up as well, by this time Ayato 'pretended' to randomly bump into Y/n, "Yua! You found her Y/n!" He uses this as an opportunity to wrap his hands around her, despite the fact Yua was in-between them both and getting squished, which Y/n notices and stepped back.

He's so clingy...

He was getting a bit bored off watching Y/n and Yua interacting, he could study Y/n for hours but not when she was with someone else. He even cleaned his room in preparation, except his shrine.

A pear Y/n had bitten into, ages ago had become a rotten moldy mush. That didn't matter, as long as it had been blessed by her mouth and saliva he'd keep it for as long as possible till he found something else of hers to replace it.

To thank Y/n, he told her to stay for a while, "Do you want me to make you a cup of tea?" Ayato asks, "Not really..." Y/n replies, she's not taking a drink from a killer but she is a bit hungry, Ayato gets her a water bottle from out the fridge.

She doesn't pay Ayato too much attention since she's too busy keeping Yua in sight. He hummed crushing up a sedative and mixing it into the water bottle. Y/n took the chance to look at the tables surface, finger prints could potentially be on it. She sees one finger prints in particular on the corner of the table, she puts a piece of cello tape on it and takes it off.

Yua walked over to him hissing and scratching, he rolled his eyes and picked her, Y/n stuffs the fingerprint in her phone case. Suddenly, Ayato arrives and places Yua back in Y/n's lap.

Shortly after, he gave Y/n water and a packet of crisps, these are her favorite crisps, so she munched away and gulped down the water to sooth her dry throat "Yeah, and then the guidance counselor told me I was suspended. I just cycled around your neighborhood looking for Yua and I'm so happy...I found...Her."Y/n's speech begins to slur as she gets more and more sleepy.

"I... Need to go." Y/n stumbled to the door, what the hell was going on, did he drug her? Ayato didn't move an inch, as if he was waiting for something to happen. She tried opening the door but ripples of goosebumps spread throughout her body and she couldn't pull it open.

Well at least this is a lesson learned.

Don't ever take a drink from Ayato.

Thud.

He enjoyed watching her sleep.

It was a time where she was at her most vulnerable, to him.

Sometimes, he'd go round stores to see clothes, mangas and videogames she would like. He made his closet into a small museum, filled to the brim with items and poster she would like and one day he'd be the one to give it to her. He'd never go anywhere without an outfit consisting off her f/c (favorite color), it made him feel even closer to her, even when she wasn't around.

He saw how many notifications were blowing up her phone, they were from Taeko, asking where she was and if she was safe.

He turned them off, it's time for him and Y/n to be alone.

He stroked Y/n's hair as she slept, blushing madly, he leaned down inhaling in her hair conditioner. He places a hand on her stomach, it's adorable that she really thinks she can escape her fate.

Soon, we will become one Y/n.
