Mayhemb: Okay..So I just got done watching Yandere-Dev's recent video for April Fool's Day about the gender bent versions of the rivals and thus I was inspired to start writing once more. This first chapter will mostly be the opening and the set up for it all, and please forgive me as I do my best in writing this out.

I love all of you, my darlings.

Please note that I do not own or have any terms of ownership to Yandere-Simulator. The only thing I can really 'own' out of this is my idea of how this would initially play out, and maybe a few characters along the way. Who knows.

More information as to what I am planning on doing dooooown on bellow..! Have fun kiddies~

Now then...Let's get started..!

Also note that this version of Love Sick is a biiit different in a major way however..More on that though as the story line progresses. Anyway, outwords and onwards!

Ayano Aishi, a girl who could be considered a social outcast of the school..Though she was pretty, and looked just like everyone else, one major thing seemed to separate her from all of her peers, and the general populace.

She couldn't feel anything.

For as long as she could remember, she was never able to feel emotions. Things such as laughter, tears, or even shouts were pointless to her. Sure, the school girl pretended to be normal when she was around other people, but inside? Inside she felt nothing...

All that was within her, it felt like, was a black void..

It wasn't as bad as it sounded, actually. She knew that she was broken, that human beings were meant to feel something, but she simply didn't care. In her mind, if that thing was so important, then Ayano should have already felt it by now.

This was normal for her.

But her entire world changed one day..

When she met him.

Her senpai~

Ayano was walking calmly down the sidewalk, her gaze focused ahead. In her hands she carried only her school bag, nothing more and nothing less...

That morning she had awoken to an empty house, with a note from her mother.

"My dearest Ayano,

I'm so sorry, but your father and I had to go to America for a bit..! There's something that mommy has to take care of, and she couldn't just leave without her darling. I hope you understand.

We may not be able to call you for a while, or even at all...Yet, I can't wait to hear about all that you have done though once we get back! Maybe you will have even found someone to call your own darling~ Ah, that would be nice to hear~

Anyway, we better run. Lots of love and kisses.

-Mommy Dearest~"

..While she knew that her mother was on the more...Eccentric side of living, Ayano couldn't find any reason as to why they had just...Left the house, without telling her anything..

It was a bit worrisome, however to be worried about her mother was foolish. She was a strong and capable woman, who got what she wanted..

However, the part of Ayano actually finding her own 'darling' sounded ridiculous. She didn't need anyone, she was content with her life and-

A gasp came out of her mouth as, from around a corner, a body suddenly came flying out and bumping into her. Just like that, the two of them were on the ground, their bags scattered away from them.

Before she could say anything, the person was already up, and offering their hand to her. "I-I'm so sorry..! Are you alright?"

"Yes...I believe I am alright." She hummed out, before her eyes finally looked up..

And there he was..

A male just like any other it would seem that went to her school, yet in his eyes..In his smile...In his skin cells-

His very presence was causing an odd sensation within her..

.. "A..Ah...Miss...?" The male blinked in confusion, not understanding why she wasn't getting up...Swiftly though, he helped her up, being sure to be gentle in case she was hurt... "Are you sure you're alright?"

"...F...Fine..."

"That's great to hear, I-" The male was cut off when from behind, he seemed to be thunked on the head..It took everything in Ayano's body and mind to prevent her from punching the assailant.

Behind her being of perfection was a male who's only real noticeable trait was his bright hair..Other than that, she paid no attention to him, not when her eyes could be blessed by the other male's image... "Hey, we're gonna be late for class if you keep being this slow..!"

"Oh no-L-Late..?! C'mon, we better hurry then..!" Her angel quickly picked up both of the bags off of the ground, and gifted her back her own bag. "Again, I am so sorry about-"

"Forget the wierdo, let's GO ALREADY..!"

..And just like that, the two of them were gone, and Ayano was forever changed..

That was the day. The very first time she had felt something; a strong desire, a longing, a yearning..A craving.

Ayano finally understood now. What people meant when they said that they had found what they were missing all along in their lives. What it meant to be a human. What it meant to be alive. It was finding that other half, and cherishing each and every moment that they would give you..

His mere presence was the sweetest addiction that she could ever come to know. Nothing else mattered. The entire world seemed to give way in comparison to the man who became her god.

He was everything to her. He was her will to breath, to live, to eat, to love.

But now, someone was trying to sever that connection between god and mortal..

It had been much like any other day really, with her above the little inner plaza area of the school, looking down and over the railing. It was easy to see him from all the way up here, to see the being of perfection..

To see him read his book over and over again, watching from a distance as his fingers flipped the pages. To see how the wind lightly brushed his hair to the side..Haha, if he wasn't careful, then that grain of rice from his lunch earlier may attract a bird to him..

Oh, what she wouldn't give then to be that bird..

Her eyes seemed to close for a moment as she just fantasized what it would be like..To reach out and touch him even for a moment. Even if it meant that her entire world would shatter, and all the humans on earth would get banished to hell..

...No, she couldn't do that...She couldn't risk her Senpai going to such a place..

Slowly, her eyes flickered open, her yearning overcoming her fantasy and-

..Ayano felt her heart stop as she saw that boy again, the one who had been walking with her beloved. The one who had yelled at him so cruely..He was there once more, but...But something was different.

The black haired girl's heart thunked against her ribs now, her hands tightening around the railing that she was leaning against.

She saw even from this distance the way this scum was looking at her Senpai. The tone of his voice, the way he had positioned hismelf so close to the god of her world...This man wanted him..But not in the same way that Ayano wanted him.

Oh no.

He could never appreciate him the way that Ayano did. That-That monstrosity didn't deserve him! He belonged to Ayano, and Ayano alone!

That man, if she could even call him that, had taught the Aishi girl a new emotion...

"Rage"

That vile creature needed to be stopped...He needed to be taught a lesson-to feel the same sort of pain that Ayano felt seeing him with Ayano's Senpai..

..He needed...To die..The world would be such a better place without a mongrel like him roaming around, clamoring for the hearts of taken men.

Isn't this what love was? The will to do anything for your other half? To not allow anyone to even think about separating you two, to come between your bond? Yes, in Ayano's mind, that is exactly what love was. This was what her mother, and her grandmother, and all of the females in her family had taught her to do..

She had to fight tooth and nail for this, for them.

No action was unnecessary. No pain dealt was meaningless..No drop of blood spilled was without reason.

No one will ever take him away, she wouldn't let them!

Senpai would be her's. Even if he didn't know it yet.

At home, Ayano sat at her dining room table, slowly eating her dinner for the night. The abode was silent, with the only exception being the occasional hum of the electronic devices in the kitchen. It was the perfect place for her to carefully think through her next actions with that pesky little-

bzzt bzzt

Her eyes flickered down, staring at her phone was the screen lit up.

"1 New Message!"

..Slowly she took the phone in her hand, and unlocked it.

"Hey."

...Slowly, she typed back. "Do I know you?"

"I saw you stalking an upperclassman today."

As if that made any difference really. The leader of the science club apparently stalked the student counsel president almost all of last year, so said the whispers of her peers.. "Do you have a problem with that?"

"No. I wanted to give you some information about the boy he was with."...Ayano knew that if she could, she would have felt both surprised..And a bit skeptical..But still, the person continued on. "His name is Osano Najimi. He has a crush on him."

Ayano knew it. That little-

"He believes in the myth about the cherry tree behind the school."

..This made Ayano's rage pause for a moment...Swiftly, her thumbs started typing. "The myth that if you confess your love to someone underneath that tree on a Friday, they are guaranteed to accept your confession?"

"Correct." Ayano had to admit that it did sound like a rather lofty idea, almost..Sweet, and- "He's planning to confess to him."

...NO. "Why are you telling me this?"

While she wasn't ungrateful, there also seemed to be no reason behind this..Her eyes stayed focused on the screen, waiting for the other person's response. "I would be more than happy if something broken Osano-kun."

Her curiosity was rather peaked at this..

"I think you might be the right person to give him what she deserves."

"Who are you?" This was a rather obvious question. No one person would have all this information. She had never even given her phone number to anyone besides the school and her parents..! No one could reach it..Unless they were-

"I'm the person nicknamed "Info-kun" at school."

Aaaah..Well, this did seem to shine a new light on this. "I've heard rumors about you. You blackmail girls and sell panty shots to boys. Nobody knows your real name."

"The rumors are true." Or this could simply be a person taking up the name, to get what they wanted.. "If you ever need a favor, text me a panty shot and I'll give you whatever support I can."

..Support? What was this man even going on about-

"If want to know personal information about anyone at our school, just send me a photograph of their face, and I'll tell you everything I know about them."

...Her nose wrinkled up a bit, making her sneer almost at her own phone. "You're disgusting."

"You're a stalker."...Well... "If you want my help, text me. If you don't care, ignore me."

Both were rather temping options, Ayano wouldn't lie. "You have one week until your precious Senpai belongs to Osano-kun. I hope you make him suffer."

Mayhemb: Hi hi~ Welcome dearies, and hello! That was the prologue for 'Love Sick, A Yandere's Strife'. It is simply meant as an omage to the introduction video that we are given for Yandere-Simulator, however with a bit of a...Wordy, love-sick spin to it, in my own opinion.

From here, here are the details:

1. As you can see, this and Love Sick have two rather different paths. In one, Ayano is after a different rival all together, in this one...Well, we'll see where it goes, hm?

2. I will most likely be posting the different endings, and often times each chapter will be a new day, or a series of smaller days for Ayano-chan as she works through the game.

3. Please forgive me if I am a bit slow in updating. This is the first really big thing that I am pumped about for a looong time, and I am excited to see where this will take us.

4. I might be adding in club leader paths? But those I do not know about, for now my biggest focus is on the initial rivals.

5. I do intend on making the chapters longer than this, however this is simply a prologue

6. This is all I am telling you for now.

Until next time, thank you for following the documentation of The Battle of the Yandere.
