The time was 3:52 PM. Thursday.
Jayson stone and senpai were sitting on the couch in yan-chan's house, waiting for their hostess to return from her little bathroom break.
Jayson never enjoyed making conversation with senpai. He had nothing to say to that worm. Jayson didn't need to waist precious oxygen for a little chit-chat with his most hated rival. But none the less, senpai would always try and fail to start a conversation.
"so… the new Yanvania game is coming out in a few days. What console are you gonna play it on?" senpai asked.
"I play on PC only" jayson answered coldly.
"oh, that's cool. I would play PC too, but I don't have the money to afford…" he changed the subject. "so, how's the whole Ayana-chan situation working out?"
"not good. She isn't coming around" jayson answered. Senpai knew about jayson's feelings for yan-chan. He'd be lying if he said he didn't feel the same way too.
But could you blame senpai? He really did feel like she was the perfect girl for him. She's just so sweet, kind, caring and compassionate… and drop dead gorgeous! Not that looks really mattered to senpai.
He wanted her, jayson wanted her too. Even though senpai felt like he had met his true love. Taking yan-chan for himself would only break jayson's heart.
What kind of friend would senpai be if he crushed the heart of his best friend for some girl?
It was one of the reasons senpai ignored yan-chan for the most part. He didn't want to intrude or make jayson feel like a third wheel. He'd let jayson try and then if it didn't work out, senpai would go after yan-chan. That way, nobody can say that he didn't give jayson a chance. He hoped that this wouldn't create any awkward situations between the three of them.
"I'm back!" yan-chan announced as she returned. "so what were we talking about?"
"The culture festival is tomorrow. I was asking what you were going to do for that" senpai reminded.
For those of you who don't know. The culture festival (also known as bunkasai) is an event that takes place after a school year. It's a way to allow students to show off their artistic achievements while also attracting new students by opening the school to the public. It mainly consists of school clubs putting on little shows like concerts. Some students turn their homeroom classes into restaurants or haunted houses.
Even though it sounds childish, It's actually a lot of fun for both the students and the faculty. Jayson himself was even looking forward to it.
"so me and the rest of the gardening club are going to make a botanical garden under the big sakura tree behind the school for the festival. We're also going to teach others how to care for and tend to plants" senpai said. "oh! That reminds me! I have to meet up with the club to help with the preparations, see you guys tomorrow!" senpai then dashed out of the front door and walked away.
He wasn't really going to a meeting with his club. He was leaving so he could give jayson and ayana some breathing room. He didn't really know if letting jayson have her was a good move or not.
Jayson was a nice guy, sure. But something about him gives senpai the shivers. He couldn't explain it, but he knew that jayson wasn't the safest person to be around. Remember when he saved senpai from Haruto Yuto? Jayson pulled a knife on the guy and pointed it at his neck! Sure, it was for self defense. But still, jayson could have killed haruto if he wanted to. And why did jayson carry a knife around in the first place?
Senpai didn't really want to question it. One thing was for sure though. He knew ayana would always be safe in jayson's hands. He seems rather protective over her.
Senpai wasn't worried about losing ayana. He would be glad that jayson had an angel like her for a girlfriend. And it wasn't like senpai would be alone forever, He has been known to attract the attention of many different girls. He'd find someone else.
Yeah, someone else…
Jayson and yan-chan were sitting on her couch, talking about stuff that didn't really matter to the both of them.
Something wasn't entirely right with yan-chan though.
She had a look of both worry and concern on her face. It was like she had some burning question that was demanding an answer.
That question was something she wanted to know the answer for, But she had a feeling that it probably wasn't worth it. Agh! But the suspense was killing her! She had to know!
"you okay, beautiful?" jayson asked.
"yeah, I'm fine… actually, no. I'm not fine" she answered "can I ask you something, jayson?"
"anything. Anything at all" he said while smiling warmly at her. Maybe he'd be okay with talking about this? Yeah, it wouldn't bother him at all.
"tell me about Katherine"
"DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT NAME TO ME!" he shouted as he violently grabbed her by the collar of her uniform.
She looked into jayson's now blank eyes and for the first time in her life, she was taught a new emotion that she never wanted to feel… fear.
Jayson's eyes were just so… terrifying. She saw what must have been years worth of immense pent up anger, frustration and sadness unleash itself right in front of her. Jayson looked like he was about to break. she could see his hands shaking erratically, his eyes twitching incredibly often. His breathing becoming frantic and his body becoming hunched. The very mention of such a simple and beautiful sounding name had driven jayson over the edge.
He soon saw the fear in yan-chan's eyes and released her immediately.
"I'm… sorry" he apologized. "It's just… someone as beautiful as you, shouldn't speak such a disgusting name. I hope I didn't hurt you"
"no, I'm alright" she said. "i shouldn't have intruded. If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. I was just…"
"no, it's okay" he cut her off. "I'm sorry for lashing out. That name just brings back bad memories"
"I'm sorry" yan-chan said. She knew she shouldn't have forced this on jayson. if she had a past lover that had hurt her, she probably wouldn't want to talk about it either. "look just… forget I mentioned anything" she said.
"no, I need to talk to someone about this, it's not going to leave me alone until I let it all out" he said as he took a deep breath to relax himself. He then told yan-chan about… her.
"her name was Katherine. She was my first love. My only love, actually. She and I did everything together. We were never apart. I loved and obsessed over her. There was nothing I wouldn't do for her. Anything she wanted, I gave to her"
"did you ever have…"
"Sex? Many times" he answered.
"what happened then? If you had such a good relationship, what went wrong?" yan-chan asked.
"she never really loved me back. I was just one of her toys. One night, I walked into my room, only to find her and… Marco" he said as he clenched his fists. "he was my best friend, he was like a brother to me and he knew how much I loved Katherine. My girlfriend and my best friend had sex right in front of me!" he shouted in anger. "the best part was where they insulted me the entire time. They made fun of me. Teased me, taunted me."
"you did something about that?" yan-chan asked "you wouldn't have just let him get away with that"
"i did do something. I locked Marco in a wooden crate and lit him on fire" jayson said with a sadistic smile "i also massacred his family and butchered his sister, then I cut them up, threw them in a box and mailed them to his front door" he laughed. Yan-chan knew he wasn't lying. "Marco is still alive however. I didn't want him to die, I just wanted him to suffer"
"you're getting off-topic" yan-chan reminded.
"Katherine was in rage over what I did to Marco. She didn't just break up with me, she took my heart and crushed it into tiny little pieces. I didn't take that very well and… I gouged out her right eye with a screwdriver" jayson added, feeling slightly ashamed.
"Jesus Christ!" yan-chan shouted in shock. Even that goes above what she'd do. I mean, yeah she's done some bad stuff but she'd never stab someone in the eye on purpose! Stabbing someone's eye out dosen't really do anything other then handicap them. That was just cruel, even for her standards.
"what?! She replaced it with a prosthetic one! I mean… yeah, she kinda lacks depth perception now. But she's fine! Sorta… kinda… maybe. I don't really care" jayson said. "oh don't judge me! you're the one who tied a girl into your basement while you tortured her for two days straight, you freaking sadist!"
"okay, okay. Just… is she still alive?" yan-chan asked.
"yeah. You remember when I said I was in the mafia? She's the boss's daughter"
"wow…"
"yeah, that's the real reason I came to japan. Info-chan is my real sister though!" jayson added. "Katherine is not a saint. She's a slut. I mean it, she sometimes brought total strangers into her bed just to piss me off. That was three years ago"
"she did all of this at age fourteen!?" yan-chan asked in shock. "so, if you saw her again, what would you do?"
"I would have just left her alone. But things have changed now. I almost committed suicide for her. After I came here, I couldn't get her out of my head. Everywhere I went, I saw her. Everything I heard was her voice. It got so bad that… I almost jumped off the school roof" jayson admitted.
"something stopped you though. If not, you wouldn't be here" yan-chan said.
"you're right. Before I tried to jump, I saw a girl… hiding behind a sakura tree. She had this odd yet familiar look in her eyes. And I became mesmerized by that look. After I saw her, I felt my heart heal. She made the pain go away" he said while smiling warmly.
"aww, who is this girl?" yan-chan asked.
"her name is ayan… aya! Her name is aya!" jayson said after he quickly realized he was talking about yan-chan. He then made up a story. "she's… in the third year. She's kinda like… the girl version of your senpai, yeah. She's my senpai" he lied.
"aww, I'm so happy for you" yan-chan said as she pulled jayson into a long and heartwarming hug. "maybe I could help you with this girl. You know, like how you've been helping me"
"thanks, but no thanks. I have it under control" he blushed as he lied again.
Yan-chan wouldn't show it. But she felt a great amount of jealousy toward this aya girl. But she'd never do anything about it. Jayson needs this girl to help him repel the pain left behind by Katherine.
If yan-chan ever did see that Katherine bitch, she'd make that slut drown in her own blood for breaking jayson's heart.
The poor boy has been through so much pain. Don't worry friend, I won't let anyone hurt you like that ever again.
I'll protect your heart for you…
the time was 7:59 PM.
Imouto was sitting on the couch, watching anime reruns with her onii-sama.
He looked rather tired fro his school work. He always pushed himself hard, now more then ever. His time in high school was almost over. In another two weeks, he'd be off to collage, leaving imouto and her mother all alone.
Mother had been pushing herself hard too, she had been on the phone and computer for days, desperately searching for a collage that could provide the best educational experience for her first born son.
"onii-sama?" imouto asked.
"yeah? What's up?" he said through a yawn.
"do you have to go to collage?" she looked at her brother with a frown.
"well… yeah. I really want to. And don't you think dad would want me to go to collage too?" he asked.
He always pulls the dad card. Their father wasn't here anymore, he was… gone. He died of heart cancer two years ago. Thinking about father always brought tears to both imouto and her brother.
If he was still here, he'd be proud of onii-sama.
"one more question?" imouto asked.
"shoot"
"what about that girl you like? She won't be going with you, will she?"
"no, but we could keep a long distance relationship, and I could always visit. But I don't really know if she and I will ever be a thing" he said.
"why is that?" imouto asked.
"you remember jayson, right?"
"yeah…" imouto's tummy still hurt from that big bully's stupid knee.
"well… he likes ayana-chan too. Maybe he likes her more then I do. If I don't give him a chance, then i'd be a bad friend" her onii-sama explained. "i could make ayana-chan my girlfriend if I wanted to. But that would hurt jayson, and the last thing I want is to hurt my friends"
"you're a good friend, onii-sama"
"i know" he said while smiling. "well, I gotta turn in early. I've got a big day tomorrow. Goodnight, imouto" he said as he headed toward his room
"goodnight, onii-sama"
The time was 1:35 AM.
Jayson Stone yawned as he awoke from his rather peaceful nap on yan-chan's couch. They were supposed to be watching a movie but they must have slept through it.
The reason he was still at her house was because her parents had left to go dancing or something like that. Jayson saw how yan-chan didn't actually enjoy being alone, so he convinced her to let him stay until her parents returned.
When jayson looked at his chest, he saw yan-chan unknowingly snuggling herself against him while snoring gently. She was sleeping like a newborn.
Y'know. Now that jayson focused on it, her snoring sounded more like a cat purring.
He smiled at the sleeping yandere. "I'd carry you to your bed, but you look so comfortable here. I don't wanna disturb your peaceful slumber" he whispered as he gently stroked her hair. It still smelt like lavender.
This calmed jayson for a while. He was still a little on edge about Katherine. He had wondered why yan-chan really wanted to know so much about jayson's ex-lover. He began to think about that whore again. She used to be his everything, but not anymore. He's found someone else to fill the void. He doesn't and never needs her again.
Well… no use in sitting here anymore. Jayson needed to get home.
He gently removed yan-chan from him and sat up from the couch. He tried to avoid making any noises so yan-chan could continue her slumber.
Jayson then ran up to her room, grabbed one of her pillows and her blanket and returned to the couch. He then gently lifted her head and set it down on the pillow, then he covered her in the blanket.
She smiled as she tossed and turned a little in her sleep, gratitude obvious on her face.
Jayson then attempted to leave. Once he got close to the door, it opened on its own. Standing in the doorway were yan-chan's parents, Seiko and Taro satsujin-koibito.
"hello jayson" yan-chan's mother greeted. "what you still doing here?"
"i didn't really want to leave yan-chan alone. So I stayed here for awhile" jayson responded as he soon left the house after saying goodbye.
Seiko and Taro looked over to the couch, where they found their daughter sleeping soundly.
"that jayson boy has been coming over often, hasn't he?" seiko asked her husband.
"leave him be. It's good that ayana has some social interaction" Taro said. "besides, whats the harm?"
"there is no harm. He seems rather attached to her though. Do you think he would make a good husband for her?"
"whoa, don't you think it's a little early to talk about that stuff?" Taro asked as he began unbuttoning his coat.
"no. we're parents, we have to always two steps ahead of our children" Seiko said as she walked upstairs.
Taro was then left alone in the living room of his home.
He walked towards the couch and lightly tapped his daughter's shoulder. "ayana, wake up"
"hmm? Daddy?" she yawned. Her peaceful sleep disturbed.
"go sleep in your room, you've got school tomorrow" taro said to his daugher.
"okay…" she stood up from the couch, Picked up her pillow and blanket, and walked upstairs to her room. She didn't question why her bedding had been brought to her, she was to tired to care.
The time was 1:59 AM.
It was cold outside as jayson walked home. He was glad he decided to wear his jacket.
As he walked out into those cold streets, his mind wandered to many different subjects. He wondered if yan-chan would ever really accept his feelings. She's crazy devoted to her senpai, so how would she react if jayson told her that he loved her? Would she then see him as a threat? Would she really accept him? Or would she turn out to be just like Katherine? Would she make him think that she loves him, only so she could break his heart?
No… yan-chan would never do that. Jayson just wasn't thinking straight, that's all.
He struggled when he felt hands suddenly wrap a blindfold around his eyes and cover his mouth as he was dragged into a nearby alleyway.
He couldn't see who his captor was, but he was going to make them suffer for whatever stupid reason they had for disturbing him.
"shh shh. Shush jay, it's okay" he heard a female's voice whisper in his ear. He recognized it.
No… NO! This was impossible! He came to japan to get away from her! Not have her shove herself down his throat!
"let him go" she the female voice said again. The blindfold came off and he saw… her
"Katherine" jayson said in disgust as he looked upon his ex-girlfriend.
She was a pale and beautiful seventeen year-old with long golden blond hair and multicolored eyes. One eye was sapphire blue while the other one was emerald green. The green eye was prosthetic, after Katherine and Jayson's breakup, he had a little… episode.
Behind Jayson stood Katherine's bodyguard, who used to be jayson's friend. Marco.
Marco was twenty-nine years old. He had short brown hair and eyes. He wore what looked to be an expensive suit. You know, the kinda outfit that screams 'I work for the mafia!'
along the bottom of his neck was the burned and scorched skin that was a cruel and painful reminder of what jayson does to those who wrong him.
"it's been so long since I've seen you, baby" Katherine said to jayson while smiling.
"what the hell are you doing here?" jayson asked.
"what? Speak English!" she shouted. Jayson forgot that he was speaking Japanese, a language that Katherine didn't understand.
"i said. what the hell are you doing here?" he asked again, in English this time.
"I came here to bring you home, babe" she said in a seductive tone. "daddy misses you very much, and I miss you too. We want you to come back to America with us"
"go back to new york?" jayson asked. "what about my… problem?"
"daddy took care of it. You can come home now, sweetcake. And then… you and me can get back together" Katherine smiled suggestively as she got closer to jayson. "you and me, Every night. Just like the good old days" she purred as she held up the plane tickets.
To be honest, he was a little home sick. He would really love to go back and… no. yan-chan still needs him. He can't leave her, he won't leave her.
Even if he wanted to go back to America, he wouldn't go back with Katherine. He knew what would happen if he went with her. His heart can't handle that pain again.
"i don't wanna go home" jayson said while glaring. "i like it here. And I don't know if you've heard, but you've been replaced. I don't need you anymore Katherine" he said coldly.
"watch your tongue, kid"
"SUCK YOUR OWN DICK, MARCO!" jayson shouted.
Katherine glared seductively at her ex. Did he really think she could be so easily replaced by some other girl?. There is no other woman like katherine. She's a one of a kind. A fucking golden goddess in human form! And if little jayson couldn't see that, then he needed to be reminded who he's dealing with.
"so who did you replace me with? That little whore?" katherine spat. "I've been following you for a while, Jaycee. I know all about your little crush on that asian whore"
"she's japanese" jayson corrected.
"same thing" Katherine replied."that little hussy doesn't hold a candle to me, and you know that. I'm the only woman for you. You don't want me… but you need me, don't you baby?"
"no, I don't need you. Not anymore." jayson said.
"well I need you, sweetie. And if you don't wanna come home with me, then i'll have to make you come home" she said as she pulled down the top of her shirt, revealing both her breasts and the pistol hidden between them.
Jayson gulped as he saw the gun. It had to be loaded. Katherine was always quick with a firearm.
"so what do you say baby? Are you gonna come willing? Or do I have to bring you home in a body bag?" she asked as she covered her chest.
Ayson couldn't believe he was going to do this. He didn't want to, but he had to… for yan-chan. "alright. I'll come back with you" he said in shame.
"that's a good boy!" Katherine purred. "now, before we leave… give me a kiss!" she said as she threw herself onto jayson and forced her lips on him. He struggled at first but eventually settled once he felt Katherine's tongue enter his mouth.
That kiss brought back many memories. Some of them were filled with joy, others were filled with pain.
They're lips soon parted.
"ohh baby! I forgot how good you taste!" Katherine moaned.
"Katherine. There's one thing i've always wanted to say to you. And I honestly mean it when I say it" jayson said.
"what is it, my love?" she smiled.
"go to hell" he said as he slapped Katherine in the face with the back of his hand. He then reached into his pocket ad pulled out his butterfly knife as Katherine fell to the ground.
Marco was paralyzed in horror as jayson ruthlessly slashed and cut through Katherine with his knife. He stabbed her in almost every part of her body, leaving long gashes and carves in her flesh as she screamed in agony. His knife just constantly kept going in and out, in and out, in and out.
he eventually stabbed her in her good eye, Taking away her sight.
Once she bled out, jayson used his knife to cut out Katherine's heart, which he then stomped into the ground.
He then stood up and looked towards marco. Blood was all over his face and clothes. His eyes were blank and he held a demonically sinister smile.
He reached into Katherine's breasts and pulled out her gun, which he aimed at marco.
Marco could have pulled out his gun too, but that would be a big mistake. He was never good with guns.
"jayson, what have you done!?" marco asked in shock.
"i have taken two years worth of pent up aggression and unleashed it in less then an hour" he smiled.
"this place… it's changed you. you're a monster, jayson!. A FUCKING GODDAMNED MONSTER!" marco shouted.
Jayson pulled the trigger and shot marco in his head… he enjoyed watching his past friend drop dead.
He then returned home, showered all the blood off of his body and threw his clothes in the washer.
He brushed his teeth fourteen times until he got the taste of Katherine out of his mouth.
It was over. She was gone. And somehow, jayson felt no different. He felt exactly the same. No sign of guilt or remorse. The death of Katherine hadn't changed him one bit.
If anything, it only increased his devotion to yan-chan.
