Chapter 2: Reliance
'Another request already. A lot of students must be unhappy. But... what was I feeling earlier before Info-chan texted me? I felt... strange. It was something I've never felt before.' Ayano thought to herself as she walked home from school after the police finished interrogating the student body and faculty. Although Ayano was grilled for information by the police, she had to retrieve who she was to kill next along with the parameters for his murder; then hide them in her locker. As she walked home she noticed a trio of students walking home together; an upperclassmen and two girls. Ayano recognized them from Akademi High since she received some information regarding her classmates from Info-chan. There was Osana Najimi, Taro Yamada, and Hanako Yamada. Osana and Taro were a year above Ayano in Akademi High while she was older Hanako who was a first year. Osana and Taro were talking, when in actuality she was berating Taro maintaining her tsundere tendencies as her way of flirting. Osana was the one with orange twintails, held by white-spotted pink scrunchies, that reached down to her knees with yellow tips at the end. Along her other hair acessories, she had a red bow in her hair.
"Osana, I'll be alright. I didn't think of you as the obsessive type though..." Taro replied to Osana reprimand.
"Idiot! You've gotta be careful when you're in school now with some killer on the loose! And I'm talking to you too Hanako!" Osana's rage continued to burn and increased when she noticed Hanako laughing at Osana's treatment of her brother, finding it perfectly normal.
"But it's just so funny since you've been planning on... Oww!" It seemed as if the young girl was revealing a secret before Osana slapped her somewhat softly with her face as red as a tomato.
"And don't think I haven't noticed you standing in the hallway constantly texting! Idiot! You could get yourself in a dangerous situation!" Osana shouted, avoiding whatever topic Hanako was about to tread on successfully.
"I'm glad you're concerned about us, but can you tone it down?" Taro asked, finding Osana's brash behavior a tad overbearing.
"Ugh! Idiots!" The orange haired girl exclaimed as she went into her home and slammed the door shut; now a fiery ball of rage thanks to her insolent childhood friend.
"What did I do?" Taro asked, the confused young man he was who wouldn't understand women at all. Well, Ayano was no different. She didn't understand anyone in that matter though. Hanako and Taro promptly went home after that, talking about manga, another daunting and confusing subject for the emotionless girl who watched the whole ordeal. During that while situation none of them noticed that Hanako's red, heart-shaped hairclip had fallen to the ground after Osana slapped her. Ayano walked over and picked up the open heart and examined it for a moment.
'Perhaps I should bring it to her locker for her. Or, if the going gets tough...' Ayano paused, wondering the best way the hairclip could be used to the assassin's gain. 'Use her as a scapegoat.' She then pocketed the hairclip in her bag for school and continued home. After all, she had to get a full night's sleep if she was going to kill Haruto before school in the Locker Room.
"Wha...! Big brother! I lost my hairclip!" Hanako felt the bang where her hairclip was attached and turned to her brother.
"Don't you have a lot of them?" Taro asked, referncing her hording of those specific hairclips. She had to have close to twenty of them.
"But big brother!" She pouted, making the puppy dog eyes that were near impossible to resist; not even her family and friends were immune to them.
"Alright." He sighed, walking over to their front door and peeked outside the door's window. He had just caught a glimpse of a black haired girl put the hair piece his sister wanted back and continued on her way in a fast pace.
"What are you standing there for big brother!? Go and get it!" Hanako whined, desperately wanting her hair piece.
"Can't. A classmate of ours found it. She'll probably try to find you tomorrow." Taro explained the predicament to his sister carefully, knowing that if he wasn't careful her temper wouldn't be a fun thing to deal with.
"Awwww." Hanako groaned, running off to her bedroom and slammed the door behind her and locking the door, leaving Taro dumbfounded on what exactly he had done wrong for two of his closest friends -both girls with his younger sister included embarrassingly- to have near exact reactions of his shortcomings within the conversations.
And there went my streak.

I'm very sorry in the delay for this chapter since school has been very demanding recently. Can't wait to bring you all more of Mission Set though! Mission Mode has got to be one of my favorite parts of Yandere Simulator, and it's fun to write about all of the character's antics while Yandere-chan's busy doing her murdering stuff or even outside of murdering classmates and faculty. And I know that I'm taking some liberties by having Senpai in this but I'd rather have as much of a cast as I can to bring as many assassinations as possible. Until next time! Hopefully I'll stay true to my update schedule.
