Author's Notes: I finally caved and wrote a Yandere Simulator fic! Given how obsessed I am with this game, I'm a little disappointed in myself for taking so long to write something for it. Just the same, I hope you guys enjoy it!

I'm going to tell you guys outright that I'm not going to use honorifics too often. Kana is going to refer to Yandere-chan as 'Yan-chan' just like the other students do and she'll refer to any upperclassmen she interacts with as 'Senpai' but other then that, she won't use honorifics in her speech.

I don't own Yandere Simulator or any of its characters. I merely own Kana and any other OC that might show up in this story.

Kana hummed to herself, tossing some of her mint green hair over her shoulder as she walked through the halls of Akademi High School, her thoughts drifting to what she was going to make for dinner that evening as she headed toward the plaza.

'Dad's going to be at the restaurant, so he probably won't be home until later tonight,' she thought. 'I could probably just make a stew pot or something so I don't have to worry about keeping dinner fresh for him. And stew would keep for a little while, so I could bring leftovers for lunch tomorrow. We just went shopping last weekend so I should have more than enough ingredients for it, too. Now I just need to work out what kind I wanna-'

Kana was snapped back to reality as she collided with something firm. She heard the sound of something hitting the ground and glanced up to see the familiar black jacket of the male student uniform.

"Oh geez! I'm so sorry!" Kana blurted out as she knelt down to pick up the book the boy had dropped. "I totally spaced and I wasn't paying attention at all and..." She trailed off when she finally looked up at the boy's face. He was slightly taller than her with straight navy blue hair that covered his right eye. The eye that was still visible, though, was the most beautiful of blue-violet she'd ever seen. Kana considered herself a fairly put-together person, able to roll with whatever life threw her way with some sort of joke or occasional flirty line. This was the first time she'd ever been rendered speechless. 'Holy hell... I had no idea they still made 'em this cute. How have I never seen him before? He's gorgeous!'

"U-Umm..." the boy stammered, effectively breaking Kana out of her trance. He shuffled awkwardly and attempted to avoid her stare but his violet eye seemed just as drawn to her coppery gaze.

"Oh! Right!" Kana said, holding the boy's book out to him as a light pink blush dusted her cheeks. "I didn't mean to stare at you like that. Sorry. Again." She glanced down toward the book in embarrassment, only to take note of the pentagram that decorated the cover. Her eyebrow quirked and her gaze drifted toward the boy's neck; just barely visible above the collar of his jacket was the black choker that the members of the Occult Club wore. "Uh... Are you okay? I didn't hurt you when I ran into you, did I?"

"N-No, you didn't," the boy replied, shyly turning his attention back to Kana as he took his book back from her. "Thanks for asking, though."

"Well that's a relief," Kana said as she sent the boy a small smile. She thought she saw the boy's cheeks turning a light pink for just a moment, but he turned his head away from her before she could be sure. "I should probably be heading out to the plaza. Gotta get my fill of sunshine before we're trapped in school all morning. My name's Kana, by the way. Kana Amori. And, again, I'm really sorry I ran into you..."

"Chojo. Chojo Tekina," the boy finished for her, scratching the back of his head as he turned to look at her again. "And don't worry about it. I'll, uh, be seeing you around, I guess."

"Yeah," Kana muttered as Chojo turned and headed back in the direction of the Occult Clubroom. 'Chojo Tekina, huh? Looks like school just got a lot more interesting. Now I've just gotta figure out a way to run into him again.'

Chojo tried to stay focused on the demon lore he was reading but his thoughts kept straying to Kana and their amazingly awkward encounter earlier. Oh, he knew who she was; almost everyone did. Kana Amori was an extremely friendly girl, making her pretty well-known and well-liked among the other students. There was a certain magnetism and genuine warmth about her that tended to draw people in. The two of them had actually been in class together since their first year, but he wasn't entirely sure Kana was aware of that. Needless to say, Chojo being a member of the Occult Club and the cruel politics of high school had ensured that he and Kana hadn't officially met until now; most students either went out of their way to avoid the members of the Occult Club and deemed them too 'spooky' and 'weird' to be around, or they simply ignored the members altogether. He'd expected Kana to simply brush him off or mumble some half-assed apology after she'd run into him so he was more than a little thrown by how she'd stopped to help him. He also hadn't expected her to be quite so pretty up close; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get those warm copper-colored eyes out of his head. And the way she'd smiled at him! Pretty girls rarely ever came near him, let alone smile at him like she did.

'I really shouldn't be reading too much into it,' Chojo thought as he stood and headed for his classroom. 'Kana's nice to pretty much everybody, from what I understand. There's no way she'd be into someone like me. Besides, what happened was just an accident. What are the odds that I'm ever going to get a chance to talk to her again?'

'Are you kidding?!' Kana exclaimed inwardly as she walked into Class 2-1 for morning classes, taking her seat next to a girl with black hair tied back in a ponytail. 'Chojo's been in class with me this entire time?! Ugh, how stupid am I?! How did I never notice him befo-' Her inner ranting was interrupted when she caught another glimpse of the choker around his neck. Occult Club. Right. Most students didn't pay much attention to the members of the Occult Club and, unfortunately, Kana wasn't an exception. She never had much of a reason to speak to them to begin with and most of them tended to give off the vibe that they preferred to be left alone, so she'd never gone out of her way to socialize with them. 'Maybe I was wrong. I didn't really get the feeling that Chojo was antisocial when I ran into him; he seemed more shy than anything else.' She let out a soft happy sigh as she watched him, grateful that her seat was in the back of the classroom. 'Well, I might not have noticed Chojo before but I'm having a really hard time not looking at him now. And since he's getting even cuter the more I look at him, I might as well enjoy the view, right?'

Morning and afternoon classes passed quickly for Kana. Unfortunately, she hadn't been able to find a good opportunity to accidentally-on-purpose cross paths with Chojo once they'd left the classroom for lunch. He went straight to the Occult Club and Kana didn't really have a reason for following him there; even if she'd gone under the guise of wanting to potentially join the club, she was already a member of the Cooking Club and had no intention of leaving.

She spent most of her afternoon classes trying to figure out what she would say to him if they ever did run into each other again. She was the type of girl that had a line for everything, no matter the circumstance, so she was more than a little disappointed in herself for her awkwardness that morning and refused to let herself get caught off-guard like that again.

It was now the end of the school day and most students would be heading toward the school's entrance to swap their indoor shoes for outdoor shoes and head home. She'd have to be quick about it but this could have been the perfect chance for her to find Chojo and make an attempt at having an actual conversation before she had to head to Cooking Club.

'But what do I even say to him?' Kana asked herself as she walked toward the lockers. 'I just officially met him today; I don't want him to think I'm being clingy or stalking him or something.' She gasped softly, stopping in her tracks at the top of a flight of stairs. 'Oh no! I've been staring at him like a total creeper all day! I wasn't even trying to hide it, either! I wonder if he noticed at all. I hope not; he'd probably hate me if he did and then I'd-'

"Hey, are you okay?" asked a voice from behind Kana.

The unexpected presence startled Kana, causing her to jump and forcing her off-balance. She felt herself beginning to fall and closed her eyes as she waited for the impact, but something wound around her waist and pulled her back upright. She turned around and saw that a boy with black hair and eyes had been the one to catch her.

"Oh man, I'm so sorry!" the boy exclaimed as he let go of Kana. "I didn't mean to scare you. Are you alright?"

Kana nodded, a grateful smile on her face. "Yeah, I'm fine. Nice save, by the way!" She straightened back up and dusted herself off before looking back at the boy. "I didn't catch your question, though."

"Oh, I was just wondering if you were okay," the boy said as he felt his cheeks heat up at her smile. "You'd been standing there for a few minutes and you looked a little upset so..."

"Well it's sweet of you to be concerned, but I'm fine," Kana replied. "I was just...thinking about...whether or not I should do something."

The boy was silent for a moment, studying Kana carefully. "I know it's none of my business, but it seems like you might be overthinking it. Just do whatever feels right to you."

Kana quirked an eyebrow, her smile turning playful. "How do you know I wasn't thinking about murdering someone? Or robbing a convenience store? Or arm-wrestling cowboys on the moon?"

The boy chuckled. "Well, I don't know about that last one but you seem like way too nice a person to even consider doing the first two."

"Oh? And how do you know so much about me, O Wise One?" Kana asked.

"Taro, actually. Taro Yamada from class 3-2," the boy replied. "And I consider myself a pretty good judge of character."

'Wait a sec. That name sounds familiar, but I can't remember where I heard it,' Kana thought. She opened her mouth to reply before another voice called out from the top of the stairs.

"There you are, Kana!" Kokona called out, waving down at the girl. "I've been looking everywhere for you! Cooking Club is about to start!"

"Oh, I totally lost track of the time! I'm so sorry, Kokona-senpai! I'll be right there!" Kana exclaimed, bowing to the purple-haired girl in apology before turning back to Taro. "I'm sorry to cut this short but it looks like I've gotta get going. I'll see you around, okay."

"Wait!" Taro exclaimed suddenly, grabbing onto Kana's hand before she could dash off and feeling his face heat up again. "Can I at least get your name before you go?"

Kana sent him another smile. "It's Kana Amori from Class 2-1. It was really nice meeting you, Senpai."

"Heh. Yeah. You too," Taro replied softly as he watched Kana dash up the stairs toward Kokona, a pink blush dusting his face. 'I definitely need to get to know her better. She's a cute little thing, that's for sure.' He could have sworn he saw a flash of black hair when he turned to head down the stairs, but there was no sign of anyone at the lockers or in the hallways. Taro merely shrugged his shoulders and began his walk home.

Ending Notes: Uh-oh! Looks like Yan-chan's going to make a proper appearance soon. Kana just unknowingly put herself on our favorite yandere's radar.

I feel like I say this every time I start a new story but I really hope Kana didn't come across as too awkward. I try to make all my OCs different so it can take me a couple of chapters before I get in their heads and get used to writing them.

I also wanted to let you all know that I am taking requests for this story. If there's a certain interaction you want to see, feel free to PM me and let me know. I probably won't start on them until the third or fourth chapter since I want to set up the plot but don't let that stop you from sending in requests or suggestions if you have them.
