No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

That was the only thought Yandere-chan could muster when she caught sight of Megami. The woman walked with an aura of regal confidence, her form suggesting leadership and maturity. The half-dozen police officers behind her all had to be at least 6 feet. And heavily armed.

Yandere-chan decided to just keep walking. If she acted like she was a restless student who just wanted to go home like everybody else, perhaps the officers wouldn't notice anything and pass by her. And sure enough, they did.
Megami was a different story.

"Hey! You!"

Yandere-chan froze. No!

Sure enough, Megami was approaching her. "Stop right there!"
"Um..." Yandere-chan blinked and all of a sudden, Megami was right in her face. "May I help you, ma'am?"
Megami grabbed her arm. "Come with me. We need to take you in for questioning right now!"

"What!?"
The police officers glanced at each other. One of them stepped forward. "Miss Saikou, we cannot simply start interrogating witness without any sort of proof or lead-"
"I have the perfect lead," Megami hissed, leaning in closer to Yandere-chan's face. She smirked. "See, I always keep my promises."

"Hold on!"

Both Yandere-chan and Megami glanced up. Taro was strutting towards them. "I'm terribly sorry to interrupt, Miss Saikou, but this is the second time I've seen you talking to my friend. Please correct me if I misunderstood soemthing, but it seems like you're threatening her."
Megami smiled sweetly. "This doesn't concern you, dear."

Taro folded his arms. "Oh, really?"
"Yes. And if you could please go mind your own business? I have important matters to take care of."
Taro wouldn't move. "Ayano, do you want me to leave? Or should I stay here? Because you're looking very uncomfortable right now."

"I-"
Taro grabbed Yandere-chan's arm and pulled her closer to him. "Let's go. I'm walking you home."

A few hours later, Yandere-chan sat at home in her pajamas. She had eaten very little for dinner and was still shaken up over the whole Megami incident. Thank goodness Taro had been there to intervene, or else she would've been arrested!

Now, she felt shaken up. Megami had gotten way too close for comfort. If Yandere-chan went through one more mission...that would be it. There was no way she'd get away with killing off another student. The risk was much too high.

Yandere-chan may have been a brilliant assassin, but she also knew her limits. She knew when to quit. She knew whether or not the danger was worth the reward. So, with a deep breath and shaking hands, she drew out her phone.

"Hello?"
"Hey...it's me."
"What are you looking for? It's late."

She could imagine Info-chan frowning on the other end. "I suppose you'd be upset if I quit, huh?"
Silence. Yandere-chan didn't feel too surprised. Her announcement was a bit sudden, and they had a steady partnership for a while. But it wouldn't last forever. And Yandere-chan wasn't sure if she could keep this up.

Finally, Info-chan spoke. "Almost blew your cover, huh? And now you want to get out of here as fast as possible?"
"I-"
"Tell you what. I've got one more job for you. Then, you can leave."

Yandere-chan hesitated. Just...one more job? One more victim? Was that even true? How many one more jobs was it, really? After this, she could leave Akademi, right? Escape back to the city. Back to her original home. Back to her mother.

But...

"Alright," Yandere-chan said into the phone. "You better be telling the truth."
"I'm being completely honest with you."

Yandere-chan had a feeling that wasn't true.

She ended the call after negotiating a price with Info-chan, but didn't put down her phone. Instead, she dialed a different number. "Hey...Mom."
"Horuda!" a cheerful voice announced on the other end. "Oh honey, I haven't heard from you in a while!"
Yandere-chan's heart ached. She couldn't help but smile. "I know, Mom...I've just been busy."

"I understand. I just wanted to let you know that I received the shipment of money you sent back home. Sweetheart, I understand with this kind of payment, you wouldn't turn this job down, but please be careful, dear. Things are popping up in the news. They say the police had to get involved! I don't want my lovely daughter to get arrested!"

"I don't either..." Horuda was feeling really guilty now. Her mother could be a bit overbearing, but always had her daughter's safety in mind. "Hopefully, I'll only have to stay for a few more days. Then, I'm coming back home to you."

That got a laugh from the other end. "I'm so glad to hear that, little girl. Take care of yourself, alright? And remember...I love you."
"I love you too, Mom."

It was not Hordua, but Yandere-chan posing as Ayano Aishi meeting Info-chan the next morning, waiting patiently for her final assignment. The atmosphere was extremely tense. Neither of them spoke. Info-chan simply handed over the papers.

Yandere-chan scowled. "What the...who wrote this!?"
"You haven't met the Akuma twins yet?"
"No..."

Info-chan rolled her eyes, "Real fun, those two are. They're into the gory stuff, like murder, blood, death, and demons. Two months ago, they tried to launch a search on school grounds for some 'dark lord' and attempted to pick out students as appropriate sacrifices."

What is wrong with the students here!? Yandere-chan thought. She felt sick to her stomach. "I can't just stab someone to death, though. Not with this level of security."
"So what will you do?"
"I don't know."

Info-chan frowned. "Well, that's not my problem."
"I get it."
"You'll figure it out. You're a smart cookie."

Yandere-chan shuffled out of the office. She could sense Info-chan staring at her as she left. Outside, the hall was pretty much deserted. Any students that Yandere-chan passed by kept glancing over their shoulders, never staring in one direction for too long. Those who traveled in groups seemed a little more relaxed, but still on edge. She saw a poster, inviting students to the Martial Arts Club, where Budo Masuta was offering self-defense lessons.

It didn't take her long to spot the Akuma twins. They both had a similar hair colour and the same white eyes. Eyes that looked vacant, eyes that were hollow, empty, dead. Suhai Akuma was a very thin boy, almost hiding behind his sister. Sha, on the other hand, just grinned at Yandere-chan, sending chills down her spine.

"Can you feel it?" Sha asked.
"Feel what?"
"The atmosphere. It's...lifeless...dreadful. It's miserable."
Suhai chuckled. "It's perfect."

"Um...it is? I mean, I would be worried. With all the disappearances and accidents and such."
Sha's laugh reminded Yandere-chan of nails on a chalkboard; she cringed slightly at the sound. "You're a funny girl, dear. And quite the stupid one as well. This is a sign. Our lord is coming. And you deny his presence. Well, we should have you sacrificed for that!"

"Don't, sweet sister of mine." Suhai grabbed his twin's arm. "We have a job for her."
"Yes..." Yandere-chan straightened up and narrowed her eyes, hoping that she had a more threatening appearance. "A job. For me."

Sha chuckled. "Oh, I almost forgot! Thank you, my lovely brother. Let's get this young lady on the job. The target is Kokuma Jutsu. And we expect nothing less from you."
Yandere-chan remained stoic, but on the inside, she was nervous wreck. These twins gave her the creeps.

Suhai handed Yandere-chan a knife. It was pretty large and intricately carved. "Here you go."
Yandere-chan studied the boy's face, but he looked completely emotionless. If anything, his lips contorted into a creepy smile, one that spread misery and destruction.

"Go ahead," Sha whispered, gently taking Yandere-chan's hand and leading her towards the door of the Occult Club. Sha's grip felt like ice, a cold but burning sensation. Her nails dug slightly into Yandere-chan's skin.

"Do it."

Yandere-chan took a breath and pushed the Occult Club door open.

She didn't know what to expect. She didn't have a plan. She just stood in the doorway, scanning the room for Kokuma Jutsu. There she was. The girl had a bandage over her eye and was pressing herself into the corner, as if she was trying to hide. Yandere-chan took a step forward.

Someone grabbed her arm.

Yandere-chan stumbled, almost dropping her knife. Kokuma had her head in her hands. The boy that was holding her arm pushed her back. A few more students, their bravery slowly getting the better of them, latched tightly onto Yandere-chan hoping to restrain her.

Any coherent thoughts left her and Yandere-chan started struggling about. She felt as if the room was closing in on her and more and more hands held her down. In the back, one boy stood off to the side with a cell phone. She flung her arms wildly. No. No, she couldn't go to prison! She couldn't let this police arrest her.

Yandere-chan remembered something she had once been told. Some of the more well-trained and way better assassins were often given a special pill filled with cyanide. It wasn't always necessary, since most knew to eliminate the target and quickly flee the scene, but in the worst of scenarios, it could be a valuable thing to have. Once the assassin swallowed the pill, the could avoid being caught. Interrogated. Tortured.

In the eyes of an assassin, it was better to die than to fail.

Mind full of such harmful thoughts and giddy with adrenaline, Yandere-chan proceeded to stab herself in the gut.

I know I take forever to update this story. I don't really have an excuse this time. I just took a while.

Personally, I'm not too into the Yandere Simulator fandom. I mean, I'll write for it, but I feel all the toxicity and harmful comments are turning me off a bit. I'm trying to stay out of it, but there's just a lot of stuff happening with development and comments about YanDev that don't sit well with me.

I don't even know if people still read this story and to be honest, it kinda depletes my lack of motivation. What's even the point in writing if nobody seems to care? I'm not gonna let that get the best of me, though, and I'm gonna keep going. I will try my damn hardest to complete this.

All requests, whether they come from PM or review are permanently CLOSED. I have done this because the direction I'm taking with the story doesn't call for them and I'm starting to develop a bigger plot outside of simple requests and eliminations.

Hope you guys will stick around for the next chapter, whenever it comes out.
