Yandere Simulator A Twist Of Fate – Chapter Five Meeting With Kokona
The basement of the Haruka Residence, morning
Kokona's hands squeezed the neck of Ayano hard. Jāna yelled for Kokona to stop or she would be forced to take action. Kokona paid her words no mind until she was hit on her head by a heavy ceramic plate which bounced off rather than shattering. Kokona groaned in pain toppling over on her side.
"I would say I can't believe that crazy bitch tried to kill you. But, I'd be lying." Jāna commented helping the coughing Ayano to her feet. "I told you she was unstable. Are you alright, Ayano? Do you need a drink? I can call mom if you want?"
"N-No," Ayano gasped rubbing her tender throat. "I-I c-can h-handle t-this."
"Right," Jāna said rolling her eyes behind her glasses.
Kokona rolled over onto her back. Slowly she sat up. She hugged her knees to her body rocking back and forth.
"What about Ms. Manners here?" Jāna said gesturing at Kokona. "What should we do with her?"
"N-Nothing," Ayano gasped. "W-We've d-done e-enough a-already."
Ayano's words caught Kokona's attention. "What do you mean by 'we'?" She asked Ayano her expression grew darker as she spoke.
"Smooth move sis," Jāna said reaching into a coat pocket. She produced a small black cylinder which she waved in Kokona's face. "Before you get any more murderous ideas in that little head of yours this is industrial strength bear spray motherfucker. Attack either of us again and I'll empty this entire can straight into your eyes. You'll probably go permanently blind."
"Who are you? And why are you calling Ayano 'sis?" Kokona said.
Kokona ignored the threat as she got to her feet. Blood dripped down her face from the wound to her scalp inflicted by Jāna. She blinked the blood from her eyes.
"My name is Jāna, soon to be Jāna Ashi. Ayano's parents are adopting me. Not that my life story is any of your business." Jāna said. "Last warning, don't come any closer."
"Why did Ayano say 'we'? How are you involved with her actions? Did you have a part in what she made me do?" Kokona said getting closer to Jāna and Ayano with each word, "answer me!"
"Lay off," Jāna said. "One more step and you'll be learning Braille, bitch!"
"Go ahead take my sight! If you helped Ayano before you've already taken everything else!" Kokona cried tears welling up in her eyes.
"Pft," Jāna scoffed, "melodramatic much? We've done nothing that bad to you. You're still alive, aren't you?"
"How can you say you've done nothing to me? I was involved in a girl's murder because of you two!" Kokona pointed at Ayano. "This monster gutted Musume Ronshaku right in front of me!"
Ayano started to cry. "I-I'm s-so s-sorry. I-I w-was a-a d-different p-person t-then." She choked out between sobs
"So you keep saying, monster!" Kokona said her tone made it clear she thought Ayano was deceiving her.
"Hey, stop calling my sister a monster, bitch!" Jāna snapped.
"I'm sorry did I hurt the monster's feelings?" Kokona asked sarcastically although he had halted her forward momentum when Jāna's thumb was placed atop the trigger.
"If Ayano is a monster then you're also a monster. Need I remind you Kokona, it was you who beat Musume nearly to death with a bat before Ayano finished her off." Jāna said.
"Why are you people in my house? Why must you torment me? Haven't I suffered enough?" Kokona said. "Leave me alone!"
"Duh, we're here because Ayano wants to help your worthless ass. She genuinely feels guilty about her role in your mental breakdown. Goodness knows why. I think you would have lost your mind without her help or mine. The process would have only taken longer." Jāna said. "If I had my way we'd leave you to wallow in self-pity."
"Gee, thanks," Kokona said.
"K-Kokona my accident changed me," Ayano said recovering her voice although her throat remained very sore from the damage Kokona inflicted. "Before I didn't, I couldn't feel a-anything."
"What do you mean?" Kokona said.
"Emotions, real e-emotions were beyond m-my experience," Ayano said. "I only pretended to be happy, sad, or angry. Not long before I approached you something happened. Taro Yamada bumped into me, literally. I don't k-know why, but m-my previously dead emotions sparked to life. Like an addict, I would do anything to get another fix of my drug. My drug being Taro. I became desperate when other girls took an interest in Taro. I could not talk to him, make him understand. I was just too nervous. The words wouldn't come, no matter how hard I tried. I was afraid if he chose someone else as his girlfriend I would lose him and more importantly my only chance of feeling anything ever again. I decided my only option was eliminating my rivals for Taro's affection b-by any m-means necessary. I continued my mission with ruthless proficiency until my tumble off the roof when I hit my head."
"Why did you have me help you kill Musume? Why did she have to die?" Kokona asked.
"I learned Musume had a crush on Taro," Ayano answered.
"One part I still don't understand. Why me, why did you pick me as your unwitting accomplice?" Kokona said.
"Because I discovered that your dad owed Musume's father a large sum of money. I thought I might be able to manipulate you into murdering Musume for me. Turns out I was wrong. You aren't capable of murder." Ayano said her eyes downcast. "After you helped me my plan was to blackmail you for further help committing my crimes. Again, I couldn't be any sorrier."
"Why should I believe you? How do I know this isn't part of your game, Ayano?" Kokona asked.
"There is nothing I can say that will convince you of my sincerity," Ayano said. "If you believe me or not is up to you, Kokona. But, know I want to make amends. I'll help you deal with your problems anyway I can."
"We should go now, Ayano," Jāna said.
"What was your role in my misery?" Kokona asked.
"I provided Ayano with information about your father's debt and about each of her targets," Jāna said seeing no further reasons to not come clean. Best put all their cards on the table. No more secrets.
"But why would you do such a thing? Are you also an emotionally deprived person?" Kokona said.
"My reasons are my own," Jāna said finally lowering her can of bear spray. The sisters turned to leave when Kokona's voice stopped them.
"He didn't forgive my dad's debt like you said he would if his daughter died. He didn't move away either because of his grief. Musume's father I mean. If anything he's become even more heartless towards us." Kokona said. "Maybe you can help maybe you can't. I just thought you should know."
"I'll see what I can do," Ayano said. She felt terribly guilty that Kokona and her father had not benefited at all from the actions the horrible girl was forced into.
Outside, early afternoon
"She would have killed you if I hadn't been there you know," Jāna said.
"I know," Ayano said.
"That's it," Jāna said in disbelief. "You have nothing else to say?" Ayano did not reply.
"Maybe I should tell mom what happened," Jāna suggested.
"Don't tell her," Ayano said. "She'll get mad."
"No shit," Jāna said. "Somebody tried to kill one of her daughters."
"Kokona would have stopped before I actually died," Ayano said although she was unsure if she was correct. Normally Kokona would not hurt a fly, however, Ayano's actions had clearly pushed the other girl beyond her breaking point.
"I don't think so. She's cray cray." Jāna said.
"Look I didn't ask for your help. I'm glad my parents are adopting you, Jāna. But, I can handle myself, okay?" Ayano said.
"You couldn't back there," Jāna said.
"Why are doing this?" Ayano said.
"For mother," Jāna said. "Plus I sort of like you as a person. I have since we started working together. Now we're sisters I think I should help you any way I can. Family members look out for each other, right?"
"Thanks, Jāna," Ayano said. "I'm fond of you too. Oh, and um thanks for bailing me out when Kokona was choking me."
"No problem," Jāna said.
"We're home," Ayano said when the Ashi Residence came into view. "Remember, Jāna, no telling mom. She would freak out."
"Okay," Jāna said. Although she had no intention of keeping Ayano's interaction with Kokona Haruka from Ryoba.
