It was a restless night in the Aishi household, the sole occupant, Ayano, turning in her sleep. She couldn't fall asleep. Not tonight. Once she had realized how pointless it was to even attempt to fall asleep, she got out of bed. When she checked her alarm clock, it read back 4:18 AM in a dull green light. She still had a some time to go until she would have to go to school to kill Haruto Yuto. For the next hour or so she simply laid on her bed, staring at the ceiling as the time passed. The minutes marched on like days as she continued to to stare towards the blank ceiling as if she was in a trance, thinking back on school. All of a sudden her alarm clock emitted its loud beeps, signaling it was 6:00 AM. Startled, Ayano pushed herself up and rushed to it. It was too soon. At least, that's how she felt it was. But what is a girl longing for emotions is supposed to know about that? She shook her head as she got ready for the day, glancing out her bedroom window at times.

6:00 AM. That's what his phone read back. Hours before the school day started, Haruto was already at school with Sora Sosuke and Riku Soma, preparing for Mida Rana's vigil inside the gymnasium. 'It's a shame what happened to her.' Haruto thought to himself, as he, Sora, and Riku entered Akademi Academy. He took another look at his phone. It displayed 6:02 AM now. The three of them walked to their respective lockers, staying silent as they put their school supplies inside. Strangely, a folded and plain piece of paper fluttered out from Haturo's locker the moment he opened it, picking it up from the ground about to read it.

"What's that, Haruto? A love letter?" Sora asked, a louder tone on the second question.

"I-I don't know yet." Haruto stammered, his face turning red. Sure, he hadn't read it yet, but what Sora said could be possible.

"A love letter?" Riku asked, closing his locker and walking over to the two and glanced at the supposed love letter. "Are you sure? I would think it would look a bit more... special if whoever made it meant for it to be that." He noted, feeling wary of it.

"Come on, you're just being paranoid!" Sora replied.

During the two talking to each other, Haruto read it, slightly confused.

"So? What's it say?" Sora asked excitedly. He's always seemed to have the patience of a child.

"It's asking me to go the locker room. I guess it isn't a love letter." Haruto explained, feeling a bit downcast after getting his hopes up. He knew he shouldn't have gotten that ear piercing in the first place. It was only a waste of money and wound up being a deterrent. "I think I'll still go, though. You never know." He added, deciding to take a more hopeful approach to it.

"Are you sure? It doesn't seem like the best i-" Riku started, being cut off as Sora grabbed his arm and started dragging him away.

"Alright then. See you later." Sora replied, leaving through the entrance with Riku is tow, who was reluctant to allow himself to be dragged away, but he still failed.

"Well, see you at the gymnasium soon. I'll let you know what it is when I find out whatever this is about." Haruto replied, the two of them already too far away, ending with his voice being unheard by all, except for those who awaited to hear his voice all alone. "The message is a bit strange to say the least." He muttered to himself, doing a quick re-read of its generic content.

Dear Haruto,

Please make your way to the boys' locker room after you find this note. It is very important.

There wasn't even a signature on the end denoting who had sent it, leaving everything written beneath the message a blank white. The fiery haired student made his way to the locker room outside at a moderate pace, somewhat excited by the mystery, but also slightly afraid of what could come from it. 'For all I know it could be a prank.' He thought to himself, already outside the doors to the outside locker room. He hands rested on the handles, then he had looked at the gymnasium, noticing Sora and Riku were already out of sight, no doubt already at work preparing the recently departed's vigil. He tugged on a door, half expecting it to be locked just to make a fool out of himself, but the doors surprisingly gave way and allowed him passage. Whether it was safe was up for debate. He walked in, the floors smooth and pristine as if someone had taken extra care to clean them as he walked in the left passage. It led to the boys' locker room. 'Who could have written me this letter? They have to have quite a bit of influence.' Deep in thought, Haruto absentmindedly twiddled the paper between his fingers as he inched further and further into the belly of the beast.

"Hello?" He called out. He paused for a moment before continuing his walk, albeit at a much slower pace. 'Those ghost stories that circulate the school couldn't be true. Could they?' Already back in his thoughts with his hand by his chin, he already made it to the boys' locker room after what felt like an eternity. He already walked over to his assigned locker, curious if anything was in there. He hadn't used it for what felt like years, but the lock slid off of it with ease, and the light gray door swung open rather loudly to reveal many notes and a variety of... panties.

"Wh-what the-!" He started, his face a mixture of surprise and anger before a hand was cupped over his mouth, ending his words forever, followed by his vision painfully being stolen away. He couldn't comprehend the situation as he saw the scissors come closer and closer to his right eye, but he saw the the fabric of the girls' gym uniform for Akademi High before darkness and red hid his vision away for the last moments of his life. He felt a searing warmth come from his throat before a much more soothing warmth made its way down his throat as he felt what remained of his consciousness fade away until all that remained on the boys' locker room floor by Haruto Yuto's bloodstained locker was the bloodied remains of the now deceased Haruto Yuto, a new mystery emerging from the scene that unfolded to the terrified Riku Soma, Sora Sosuke, and Kiyoshi Taiso.

"Perfect." Info-chan said to herself, running her fingers over the cell phone encased in a red case of plastic. She tapped a button in the top that flashed the screen to life, and quickly accessed the device. "Never one for tight security Haruto?" She laughed to herself. Perfect. She had what she needed. She quickly added a passcode to the device and stood up on her chair to pull the top of the curtains and drop her newly acquired cell phone. Now following her daily ritual whenever Ayano Aishi killed a member of Akademi High's student body or faculty, she pulled out the same yearbook and thick scarlet marker, pulling the page to where Haruto was pictured. Now a large 'X' blotted out the boy's face, making his look quite similar to his current state. She laughed to herself momentarily, glancing back at her newest text, preparing to relay the information to her assassin.

I am so sorry for taking this long! I now plan to update this story once every two weeks or month, but I plan to always update on a Tuesday in EST time. Anyways, to answer you question Zuzanna295 who said Haruto's getting a new hairpiece for his corpse to make it pretty? I'm pretty sure that new gash in his throat is enough... To that Guest, so true! Hopefully it will not become that again. So, enjoy!
