Yay! Yandere Dev restored Oka's shy animation and finally gave her the stockings and arm warmers he promised! I'm so happy! Sorry this took longer, I had my exams last week but now I'm FREE! More time for writing this and my other works!

MadamX818: I know what you mean, I don't wanna hurt them either ;n; since that's what the Dev wanted, he's doing a good job. I like them all!

I Be Random: Cheers! I've always wanted to do a story focused on Oka, I haven't seen one yet and even though I like Yan-Chan, I find the NPCs very endearing.

Kitty: "Yandere Dev! Yandere Dev!" That's true c: And I have ideas for Midori, don't worry

Zuzanna295: While that does sound good, I have a couple of problems with it. It's Inkyu who is rumoured to be a vampire, not Sakyu and she's the one with the ring. It's a good idea but I'm trying to stay close to the game so I don't know if it would work. I'll think about it.

Mythical Legend: Aww don't let my fic sink your ships! There will be others popping up :) And while Oka is the focus of the story, yes I am going to involve more of the lore surrounding the game and the other characters to make this story fuller. Glad you're enjoying it!

Oka was relieved to finally get home. It always felt good to get away from school. Here she could completely indulge in her research without anyone staring or talking about it behind her back. She could be herself.

Opening the front door, she saw that all of the lights were off and the house was silent. This wasn't surprising to Oka. Everyone was still out at this time and wouldn't be back for another couple of hours. This meant two things. On the one hand, it meant having to wait longer for dinner, which didn't usually bother Oka but it did today but she'd just have to wait. But on the other hand, it meant that Oka could do what she wanted. And what she wanted to do was try and figure out how Inkyu Basu could be in sunlight. Putting on her inside shoes, Oka made her way into her room.

The girl sighed as she shut the door and looked around her room. The purple curtains were closed so Oka turned on her lamp next to her bed. She had owned the lamp since she was young, her dad had given it to her. The lampshade was light blue with white stars. The room was quickly bathed in a nice blue glow with white stars. The girl smiled a little as she got changed out of her school uniform and into her casual wear which consisted of a red tank top under a loose purple t-shirt with a skull on the front with black hearts for eyes and red shorts. Oka sighed as she fluffed her hair after getting changed. This felt much better. She settled onto her bed and started up her laptop, resting her head against the soft pillows and getting comfortable.

Great, now she could get on with business.

Oka started looking through any paranormal website she could find, hoping to find something about vampires who can survive sunlight. The girl sighed as she came across countless forums talking about those stupid fake vampires who sparkle in the sunlight. What a load of rubbish. Oka sighed and continued searching.

Even after a hour, she couldn't find anything. The girl sighed irritably and opened the tab to the school's Facebook page, figuring she needed a break from her futile internet search and look for something else. The school's Facebook page looked quite bare, but that was to be expected. Oka barely saw anyone post on the school's wall. There were only two things posted. One was from Midori.

"What does the school's logo symbolize? Yes, I checked the FAQ this time."

Oka rolled her eyes, she couldn't have checked the FAQ like she said because the answer was there. It still amazed her how thick the green-haired girl could be. But she couldn't think too badly of Midori. She was a nice girl, aside from her questionable intelligence. And she was still more popular than Oka. She was a social butterfly like the Basu sisters. Oka knew this since she did see the green-haired girl interacting with others within the school. Though she did seem more interested in sending that game developer stupid questions. Poor guy.

Looking at the page again, Oka's eyes were drawn to the other post that was there. Taro's, he was asking how old the Sakura trees around the school were. Oka sighed and lowered her gaze. She wanted to answer him. She really did. She guessed that the trees were at least fifty years old, probably more but she could easily be wrong. And what would he think if she got it wrong? Would he think she is stupid? It was a public wall so everyone would see her stupid, wrong answer! Oka shuddered and closed the tab, opening up YouTube. The last thing she wanted was to draw more attention to herself. She was a background character in someone else's story, and that's how it was supposed to be. At least, that's what everyone else seemed to think. And since it was all of them against her, what was the point in trying to prove them wrong? There wasn't one.

Oka browsed through YouTube aimlessly, these thoughts still playing in her head. She couldn't stop thinking about everything that happened today. The main things that stuck in her mind was finally speaking to Taro and also her encounter with that girl. She didn't know what it was, but there was something about her that intrigued Oka. The girl never seemed to walk into any situation, she just… Appeared. It was weird. But interesting. There was just something off about her. She didn't seem to behave like the other girls that Oka knew. She never saw her with the girls in the Plaza or on the roof. Oka tried to think of any other time she might have seen the girl. She had seen her through crowds but couldn't pinpoint any specific time she saw her. She seemed to slip in and out of crowds like a ninja with nobody noticing her. Why would she do that? Maybe she was just shy and didn't like being noticed. Oka could relate to that. She didn't like being the centre of attention herself.

One other thing that puzzled Oka was the fact that the girl had randomly complimented her. She couldn't help but feel a little confused as to why. She didn't know the girl at all! What would possess her to just approach her and do that? Granted, Oka was flattered by the gesture, but it still didn't make sense.

Oka let out a little sigh as her head started to hurt from thinking intensely like that. She looked at the time on her laptop but was disappointed to find that it had only been about forty five minutes. She scratched her stomach as she started feeling hungry again. Come on, there must have been something to distract her from that. She went back onto YouTube and started looking around the site for something interesting to watch. After a few moments, she realised that Rob Dyke had uploaded a new video, part of his 'Seriously Strange' series. It seemed that the only other person Oka knew of who shared similar interests in the paranormal was one she could never physically meet.

'I'll watch this one then get back to work.' She thought to herself as she adjusted her headphones, 'Need to find out about sunlight vampires. And soon.'

…

Seven videos later, Oka was distracted by the sound of the front door opening downstairs. She let out a sigh and closed her laptop knowing that they would want her to come downstairs. Oka still didn't feel comfortable with them. She wanted to be alone and continue her 'research' but she knew the family didn't care much for her interests. It wasn't just her interest in the paranormal they didn't seem to like, looking at her relaxed attire she had a feeling that they'd make her get into something else. Something more 'proper'. Letting out another sigh, she looked around her dimly lit room before going downstairs. Walking down the stairs, her eyes were drawn to the pictures along the wall. The pictures showed a family of three, all with blonde hair. There wasn't any sign of the dark haired girl anywhere in any of those pictures. Oka saw everyone at the front door.

"Um… Hi, Jinsune." Oka mumbled, rubbing her arm anxiously. The blonde woman hung up her jacket and gave Oka a gentle smile.

"Hello, Oka. How was school today?" She asked her warmly, though Oka could tell she was more interested in what she was wearing. Oka wasn't sure what the huge deal was with the way she dressed. She felt comfortable in her shorts and t-shirt but it seemed that trousers and a blouse or something was better suited to them. Oka leant against the wall and kept her eyes down.

"Um… It was… Okay." She answered after a moment. Thankfully this seemed to satisfy Jinsune as she gave her a little nod and took her shopping into the kitchen.

"Dinner will be ready in about half an hour!" She called over her shoulder towards Oka before disappearing.

The girl leant against the wall again and shut her eyes. She didn't know why she felt so uncomfortable here. Jinsune Aihara and her husband, Jinta were nice people and everything but she still felt… Off. It wasn't the same. She couldn't explain it. The Aiharas were good people and did leave Oka alone when it came to her interests, rather than judge her for them. But they were too accepting. Surely something was up. Oka couldn't think of anyone else who seemed to accept her hobbies with such ease. It made her uncomfortable. The only other people she knew about who were as fascinated with the paranormal as her were her parents… Oka rubbed her eyes with her arm, trying to get their image out of her head. She didn't want to think about it. It hurt too much. Everything used to be so clear, but now she didn't know what she was supposed to do. Where to be, how to act, who to be with, who to to be… none of it was clear. Digging into her shorts' pocket, she brought out the only thing that could really give her some form of comfort. A little blue voodoo doll. Oka let out a little sigh of relief as she held it in her hands. Maybe that's why she felt so bad today, she didn't have it with her to school since she forgot to bring it since she assumed she had it under the arm-band. Usually she either kept it in her locker or tucked under her red arm-band. Hugging the little doll, she sniffed once immediately feeling better now that she had it. It had previously belonged to her dad and he had given the voodoo doll to her for her thirteenth birthday, a week before… Oka shuddered and walked back up the stairs to her room. She needed to get her mind back on track. What was it she was researching again? Oh, yeah daytime vampires. And this time she was going to focus!

...

"People have been afraid of her because of her fast speed that people said she has. So the next time you go to Japan, DON'T TRUST ANY WOMEN IF YOU CAN'T SEE THEIR LEGS! It is also similar to Kashima Reiko."

Oka winced at the last lines of that Creepypasta. Actually, no, that wasn't a Creepypasta. She didn't know what the hell that was supposed to be. It wasn't scary, that was one thing, it was too short and very badly written. Oka had heard the urban legend of Teke Teke numerous times but this was the worst version she had come across. She could write a better version than this.

Oka glanced at the corner of her monitor and sighed when she noticed that the time read that it was now three in the morning. She'd have to get up in three hours to get ready for school. Oka closed her laptop and lied down on her bed, holding her little voodoo doll to her chest.

Staring at her ceiling, the girl sighed and her thoughts went back to the previous day. Now that she thought about it, it didn't seem to be a total waste. But being complimented and speaking to Taro still couldn't push down the negatives. She couldn't get that phrase Sakyu had said to her out of her head.

"Do you like the fact that everyone says you're weird?"

Oka writhed her hands anxiously as she remembered that. But the purple haired girl had made a valid point. Everyone did say she was weird. They always had. And that's all they'll ever think. She'll be nothing more than "that weird loner girl who is obsessed with the paranormal and creepy stuff" to them and nothing else. If the world's only gonna see her as this, there's no point trying to be anything else. Oka rolled onto her side and shut her eyes. Who knows, maybe tomorrow will be different.
