A girl with short hair was filming on her camera. She was wearing a white and blue striped shirt, and she was very tiring.
"You know… Life isn't easy, being a mediocre ViewTuber. But then there's always normal life, rather than a Shut-In's life…"
She explained, as she leaned back, "This is tape log #12… and the continuation of my hell. See, I was visited by some girl… and I suddenly fell in love with her. Just to point out, I'm not into that. I don't even have a relationship… I'm just posting foodie vlogs… sleeping… relaxing in my futon… and eating potato chips."
The girl was befuddled, and she snorted a bit. She sighed, rubbing her face, "But she felt so real… like it was a nightmare."
She explained her story, as she was sleeping in her futon.
One night, when I was snoozing, after school… a woman in blonde hair, wearing a lacy attire… she came to me. And when I saw her, I thought she'd be an angel from heaven. But she nuzzled her boobs into my face. I started to lose myself… knowing that she was into me.
She said, "I later learned that she was the granddaughter of the principal in my high school, Ran Kuzuryu. She sometimes act as a bitch… and even acting principal, in case the old man is away. But it's all so warm…"
A knock on the door was made, as a voice called, "Hey, Waka! It's time for school!"
"Okay!" Waka said. She signed off, "Uh… Supplemental entry available…"
She got up and changed into her school uniform, with a black sweater. She said, "Hmm… I have going outside."
Waka was still paranoid, as a girl with blue hair was waiting. She said, "Hey. Thought I bring you with me to school, today."
"Where's Myu?"
"She went on ahead."
"Good. Better you than her."
They walked out, as Hanajima shut the door. The girls left, and she stood by the doorway.
(Hanajima): This is Mizaki High School, a school with so many mysteries and secrets. The girl you saw was Waka Kyogoku, 3rd-year student and ViewTuber. For the past couple days, she experienced a little shocking subject from one of her peers – Ran Kuzuryu, college student and granddaughter of the principal. When these two sources collide, it creates drama.
Ran Kuzuryu – perfect rich girl, Waka Kyogoku – meek shut-in. One good, one very twisted. See if you can guess which is which.
Tales of the Bizarre #78:
What ALL Kunoichis Are
Waka walked down the school path, and she was very tired. "Nyaaaaaaaaaagh… I hate school. But I have to."
Shiratsuru said, "It's alright, Waka. We only got 7 months left. Then we can all graduate together."
"Kinda wished I wanted to go home… but I wanna make videos, all day. Why can't I have college classes in Night School?"
"Ohhhh, no! I still haven't forgotten what you did, when you took away my dorm room!"
"Nyaaagh! Fine…" Waka grumbled.
My name's Waka Kyogoku. I'm a ViewTuber and a high school student. And I'm only 19 years old. That's Shiratsuru Kuki, she's only 17. And she's in the same grade as I am. Why is there an age gap? Well… I am a senior who's older than everyone else here. Because no one can defy my looks and class, and also my stunning booksmarts to become a model student.
Plus, I was held back because of my poor attendance record. My grades are good, though. Shiratsuru, she blames me for taking her room, because I wanna live the shut-in lifestyle.
Waka narrated, as she was at the gate, "I happen to also be in a club, called the Ninja Seeking Club. See… I'm a ninja – Freelancer, and I've taken the exam like everyone else. As does my club mates, they're ninjas, too. The reason I'm in it was because I was caught using my ninjutsu for trying to stay in, when I learned that I'm being held back; like I said, my grades are good, but my attendance record's poor. Ran Kuzuryu, the same girl that tormented me erotically… She was acting principal, when her grandfather threw out his back. And when I was caught, I was kicked out of the girls' dorms. But her grandfather stepped in and said I get to stay… provided I go to class, every day. No absentees, or else I lose my dorm privileges. That's life. And it's something I hated. I mean, I make videos for a living. But not good reception. And those girls… They said that they wanted to make me experience social life, outdoors. I appreciate it. But I just wanna stay in."
Waka was in the club room, moments later, as she was relaxing. "I wanna go back to my room…"
Myu said, "Tough. You're only out for today." She asked, "You seemed rattled. Something wrong?"
Waka sobbed, "I've had one of those days."
She sighed, as she had that dream again. Waka decided not to mention Ran Kuzuryu. Though, she's just relieved that she's no longer in this school.
Myu said to her, "Well, if you're ready to talk, come see me."
Waka felt restless, as she was tired.
XXXXX
She was in the classroom, doing her supplementary classes, and she was yawning a bit.
Life isn't what it seems. You tend to forget… you miss class, you even get tired of everything. Me, I'm just trying to catch up on everything. I always get good grades. But when I learned that I'm going to be held back, I decided to feign a plan.
Waka was wide awake, after a chalk to the head.
It worked perfectly, except I was outsmarted by three young kouhais. Well, TWO kouhais and one android.
Waka was yawning, walking back to the dorms.
It's a normal life, but it gets tiring. I did nothing wrong. All I wanted was a shut-in's life. And they caught me. And Ran here gave me the boot… only her pappy saved her. All the mysteries in the school solved by Myu Momochi, except for the squid part. Only movie magic I make with squids is on my computer.
You probably heard of the Four Mysteries in Mizaki. Only three mysteries I know of. There was the Extra Corner Room that Shouldn't Exist. Then there was the Door that always opens, during the Witching Hour. And that last one… The Flying Squid. I didn't do the latter there. I only did the Extra Corner Room and the Door that opens. Funny thing, too… The fourth was a dark figure roaming in the halls. That was me.
Waka was relaxing, cuddling in her futon. She moaned, as she was tired out. This was Waka Kyogoku's lifestyle. She has no social hobbies outdoors. She just never likes it. And she didn't want to.
Night fell, as Waka was sleeping. A figure appeared in the dead of night. It was Ran, as she was in her bra and panties. Her blue eyes flashed.
The next day, Waka was tired out.
Ran Kuzuryu, in reality, actually hates me. She almost got me kicked from the dorms, after I did all that. All I wanted was a nice and reclusive life. But Myu and Cy said that I can do that AFTER I graduate. I'm not a ninja from another village, but a freelancer trained by a friend of the principal. She said my marks were not that bad… but attendance was awful. And if I get one Sick Day or Hooky, I am evicted. Funny thing, too. We're the same age as the others… including that boy. And here I thought HE got held back. Guessing not. Just, this lifestyle was getting worse. Ran got me again… but I had no recollection.
Waka was staggering, as she was still tired. Shiratsuru asked, "HEY!" She stopped her. "You alright? You seem… tense."
Waka moaned, "Again… Every single night… Always with the nightmares. I see her."
"Her who?"
"Ran Kuzuryu!"
"Oh, right." Shiratsuru said, "She's the one that lashed out at you, since that day."
"I know… But I don't wanna talk about it. You're a good friend. You should let me skip class, and we'll talk."
"Sorry. Myu said you have to go to class. I promise at lunch time, we'll talk about it."
Waka sighed, "I guess it can wait, then… I still don't wanna go!" She marched off to school. Shiratsuru followed, as Waka confirmed, "If she shows up, I want nothing to do with it!"
They went inside, as Ran was outside the building, wearing her casual white blouse and black skirt. She watched Waka walk in, and she stepped into the building.
XXXXX
Waka was in the principal's office, as she was called in. Ran was waiting for her, wearing a gray business suit. "Ah, Waka. It has been a while."
Waka stared at her, as she was annoyed, "Hmmmmmgh…"
Acting Principal… Again…
"Why are you mad at me? You know it was your fault for everything that happened."
"Not everything."
"OH, right. Anyways, Miss Momochi gave me her report, and your attendance record is still flawless."
"By force!"
"That's because Grandfather made a deal with you. Either you show up to school, every day, or you leave the dormitory."
"But I have nowhere else to go."
"That's not my problem. But he made a good point… Grandfather agrees to my decision, yet he would've done the same thing."
Waka glared at Ran, blushing heavily, "Why are you staring at me like that?" Ran responded.
Waka responded, "N-Nothing…" She turned away, "Just… Nothing…"
Ran silently stared, as she replied, "You see something you like…?" She paused and covered herself, "GAWK!" She held her chest and blushed, "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?"
"It's not that!" Waka barked. "It's… something else…" She walked off.
"I'm not done with you!"
"I have class! We are done!"
Waka walked out of the office, as Ran sighed, "Well… if you're going to be that way, be careful." She growled, holding her chest, "Am I wearing too revealing for her?" She looked in her mirror and asked, "Hm? Nothing wrong."
Waka walked down the halls and was fuming. "Me and a crush on Kuzuryu. Miss Bossy Mom thinks she's Little Miss Teacher!"
Ran Kuzuryu and I used to go to Mizaki School together. Now it's just me in High School… and Ran went to St. Venus University. I don't see what my problem is… She always comes here, as acting principal, whenever her pappy's not around. When I was filched at the time, her grandfather threw out his back. And it was Ran's fault. She and I are still novices to the ninjutsu skills. Ninja Seeking Club was the place I was on observation, for the remainder of my fourth year in High School. Myu Momochi's suggestion. She runs the club now.
Myu said to Waka, "And you were ogling over Ran-senpai?"
"It's not that." Waka replied, "I have had nightmares about her. I'm upset over what I did, and I'm sorry. I just wanted a reclusive life! And you came along and ruined it!"
Myu stated, "It's your own fault! Four mysteries were in this school, and you were responsible for three of those. The fourth one we learned was from Malus and Fausta."
"That I didn't know." Waka said, "But I keep seeing Ran's face… haunting my dreams."
Myu said, "What were they like?"
"I can't say… It'd be too embarrassing."
"You're right. Cy once tried to examine my dreams. But she was a snooping little android… that I cannot understand her."
"What was your dream about?"
"Sex with Kazuki-senpai…" Myu blushed heavily.
"Were you… uh…"
"NO!" Myu roared, "Don't bring that up again!"
Waka sighed, as she moaned, "Yes, ma'am."
Myu sat next to her, and she said, "Listen, I know you're still upset, but you can still graduate. You have lots to catch up to. I mean, you have great grades, but they frown upon absentees."
"I was there, it's just… You and the others don't know me… and my clone jutsu."
"It's weak." Myu stated, "Akari-senpai has her abilities improved."
"Even him?"
"Kazuki-senpai?" Myu said, "Well… I wouldn't say that, but… He's improved, since the Yatagarasu battle…"
"Hmm… Yeah…" Waka said, "You know… I think I met him before… Was he the guy in brown shaggy hair, took a red-haired woman, and barged in?"
"Yes." Myu said, "You mean Kazuki-senpai and Futaba-sen–. You were at the cruise, during the summer, years ago?"
"It was a private room… And he and Futaba hid from running people. I wanted to scream for help, but she gave me a chocolate bar to stay quiet."
"Why'd Futaba-senpai do that?"
"I was hungry…" Waka sobbed.
Myu said, "Yeah, I see… Then you appeared to help YTG8 boost the spirits of the ninja clans."
"True… but that's only to help build the stage… All I did was support them."
"I see… Well, I'm glad you're still here, only because we needed all the help."
"But that Ran makes me nervous. I'd rather stay in my room… maybe study in the dorms."
"Absolutely not!"
"Come on… ONE day off?"
"A deal's a deal. You can't stay all day in your room. (Except on weekends)."
"Yeah, but that's besides the–."
"Will you cut it out? I will talk to Ran-senpai… about what you were saying. But you're NOT ditching school."
"How long is Ran staying for?"
"A full week. Mr. Kuzuryu is sick this week, and Ran-senpai's taking his place. It won't affect her studies."
"Easy for you to say… Try making me dream about her… Fawning over me!"
She walked off, as Myu asked, "Wha–? Waka, wait!" She already left, as Myu said, "She must be delusional…"
Waka was upset, holding herself. She still remembered her image.
Ran cuddled onto Waka's head, burying her face into Ran's cleavage. Waka was blushing in arousal, feeling very relaxed. Waka felt like she was enticed by Ran's touch. But she's not into it. Never in her life she was met with any romance at all… … …but at 19 years of age, this was the first Waka Kyogoku has ever experienced the warm touch of another.
Waka walked away, as she went past Cy. She asked, "Fweh? Waka?"
Waka said, "Oh… It's you."
"Wuz wong?"
"Nothing… I'm not feeling too good."
"Your temperature's still stwong. But you look tiwed. Pwease tell me."
"Cy, no." Myu stated, "I think Waka needs a break. You can leave, anyway. Fresh air will do you good."
"Whatever… The outdoor air won't do me in."
Waka left the school, as Myu & Cy grew worried. She went out of the building, and Ran watched on, through the window. Ran whispered, "She cannot leave…"
Waka returned to the dorms, as Ran waited until nighttime. She arrived at the girl's dorms, and went to Waka's room. She walked slowly to her room, as she said, "It's a good thing the Dorm Mother's not present. Plus, she knows who I am."
Waka was sleeping in her futon, shaking and worried. She whispered, "Ran… Please…"
Ran opened the door, and she called, "Waka? Are you in here?"
"GO away! Sleeping!" Waka called back.
"Waka, we need to talk."
"I'm in no mood! I just don't wanna come out, that's what! Just leave me be, until morning! I'll come out by then! Not that you cared, you strict uptight heiress!"
"That's cold! And I'm still acting principal! And I demand you open this door, immediately!"
Waka got up, and she unlocked her door. Waka said, "You got five minutes…"
"Myu told me about your problem." Ran said, "I would never be your enemy. I was only telling you about what you did… and to take away Shiratsuru's room? Besides, Grandfather would've done the same. But I am never your enemy."
"Enemy? Why do you hate me?"
"Because–. I don't hate you! I am your classmate."
"Ex-classmate! YOU went to college, without me!"
"You did it to yourself!"
"Because I heard that I was being held back!"
"Because of your poor attendance! One day doesn't mean you pass! You have to make a perfect attendance record, and then maybe you'd go to college and goof off! But if you get expelled, mark my words… That's all to blame on you!"
Waka growled, "Just stay out of my room!"
"WHAT?"
"YOU HEARD ME!" Waka cried, "I don't know what you did… if it's real or not… Just stay the hell away from me! And stay out of my room!"
She slammed the door, and Ran cried, "WAKA! WAKA!"
Waka locked the door and went to her futon. She panted, as she was furious. Ran called, "Fine… We'll talk, soon enough. You just stay there…"
Ran walked off, as Waka sighed in disdain. "She's gone…"
Waka did another video log:
"Day 17… and I keep having flashbacks… The same dream, over and over again. I have school right now, so I post this for future references. Ran Kuzuryu hates me… and she adores me, like she's trying to rape me. But she wouldn't. We're the same age, and she… She treated me like crap. That's just the thing…"
Waka was in her desk, in class. She narrated, as she was hardly working, "Once they tell you to not be lazy, you do that. Laziness means no experience. I'm not an experienced worker, but I am popular around my peers. I have a job, yes… but often times the Wi-Fi in the dorms go down. I don't need to work in the shrine, or even a bakery… ViewTube's my life."
The speaker announced, "Waka Kyogoku, please report to the Principal's Office. Waka Kyogoku, please report to the Principal's Office."
Waka sighed, and she got up, "Figures."
XXXXX
Waka appeared, as a woman in gray hair and a white school uniform appeared to her. She was Kikuko Hattori, advisor to the club.
"You wish to see me, ma'am?"
"Yes, please sit." Kikuko said, "Waka, I overheard your problems. And I wish to help you."
"Yeah?"
"Yes… I mean, I admit that Masatoki's ruling was unfair, but it was the only way. But don't blame it on dear Ran. She is precious to Masatoki."
"Easy for you to say."
"I'm not like her. But you are acting ragged. Your grades have improved, yet you're appearance is shoddy. Perhaps you can tell me. I'm not a counselor, but I have taught my students how to stay awake for any enemies. Maybe I can teach you to improve your ninjutsu."
"Not interested."
"I see. But you just wanted to learn…"
"I told the others. I am not to be chosen. I did the exam like all the others! And like you said, or even remembered, the principal knew a friend of mine. But I'd rather be a ViewTuber… but I haven't made a video lately, since the issues with Ran. She hates me."
"Is it because of your wet dreams? I bet you watched porn on that computer of yours. Not me… I'd watch ikemen."
"You're just an old hag… You always get away with everything."
"Naturally. Because I'm in charge of the club. And Masatoki and I are good friends. There's no need for you and Ran to break apart. Only when we formed this club, it was a bond of friendship, supporting all the members, including Kazuki and the others; especially Myu, Cy, & Shiratsuru."
"I don't know…"
"You won't say anything about Ran, right?" Kikuko asked her. "That's fine. Just let it go… It's between you and me."
Waka told her everything that she knew, and Kikuko was perplexed. She smiled and said, "That little lass… I bet it's that suit that makes her boobs show. Me, I'd never entice you. That's simply her Sexy Technique at play. Sadly, the technique is still in works."
"Sexy Technique?!" Waka gasped, "There's a thing to be horny? Ninjas go horny and it's an ability?"
"Yes. This technique is useful for all kunoichis. Sexy Technique is always used, whenever we lure our enemies closer."
"Is that how it works?" Waka was confused.
"Yes. But knowing your bust… You're disqualified."
Waka pouted, as she was fuming over her boobs. She was a B-Cup, and smaller than the others. Though she's still bigger than Kikuko's and Cy's. She sarcastically said, "Can I try it on you?"
"NO!" Kikuko barked, "Besides… I am a master of many techniques. Maybe I should train you on how to ward off this attack. But I will keep this a secret between ladies. If I told Ran, she'd freak out, and Masatoki would scold me for hurting her."
Waka sniffled, "Thanks… (for nothing). But I can manage on my own…"
Waka left, as Kikuko watched on. She said, "Don't let your guard drop. And she's gone… She's a lot to learn." She crawled back to the wall and retreated to her secret room.
XXXXX
Waka was walking home, after another day, and Ran was walking towards her. She said, "Waka!"
Waka stopped, as Ran said, "Mind telling me why you're hiding from me?"
"We're all alone now?"
"Yes. No one's around."
"Are you trying to seduce me?"
"GURK! WHAT?"
"Then it's true! Every time you make a reaction, it's always true!"
"Wait… You got me all wrong!"
"I said, leave me alone! You won't fool me with your damned technique!" Waka marched off, as Ran stated, "It's… It's not."
Waka was heading to the dorms, and Shiratsuru asked, "Waka, you alright?"
"Sorry… Bad day…"
"HOW?"
"It's because of her… Ran Kuzuryu… She drives me nuts!"
Shiratsuru said, "Let's go to your room. Much safer."
They went inside, as Ran was far away, viewing what happened. Ran whispered, "Waka."
XXXXX
They were having tea, and Waka sobbed, "And then it's like… am I being hunted? A sexy technique… Oh, why?"
Shiratsuru said, "I see… and you're worried she may try to kill you? I mean, we're all ninjas, after all."
"Yes. But… I can't be…" She sniffled, "I'm just shaken. I am sorry about the room."
"No, it's all under the bridge. My brother made that mistake, when it was only for the week before. It's not your fault. Myu was curious over the whole Four Mysteries, but The Flying Squid wasn't your doing."
"Maybe so… Shiratsuru? Am I cursed?"
"I don't know…"
Shiratsuru went to her and hugged her, "When I first met the Ninja Seeking Club, they were a bunch of fun girls… but then I made friends. And I even get to go to school with the others. Myu and I are the same age. Cy… I'm not so sure. But I get to make new friends… especially the new members we have had."
Waka sighed, "I don't know. I'm just feeling rattled over this. Ran Kuzuryu is trying to eliminate me… but she's also seducing me. Does she love me?"
Shiratsuru smirked, "I wouldn't say that…" She placed her head onto her giant bosom. Waka felt it and said, "So warm…" Shiratsuru giggled, as she cuddled her deep into her breasts. She whispered, "Do you feel it?"
Waka huffed, as she snapped out of it, "Hardly…" She pushed back. "Besides, you're wearing your uniform… That's not right."
"I can't be that sultry… And I'm still in high school. But I won't say my bra size. I'm at a G, by the way."
"G?! And me, stuck as a stupid B. That's who I am: Waka Kyogoku – The B Queen!" Waka complained, "This is bull, you know! I wish I was a man…"
"I don't think you work crossdressing."
"I can try…"
The bells ring, as Shiratsuru said, "Listen… Myu, Cy, & I have activities. You wanna join us?"
Waka sighed, "No… I have supplementary classes, again."
"Hang in there, okay? You're going to be okay."
Waka sighed in sadness, as she looked at her teacup. "Ran…"
Ran Kuzuryu always treats me wrong, but Miss Kikuko made a strong point. Shiratsuru has a thing for my inner lust… but she isn't that horny. Just plain.
Shiratsuru gulped, "Plain?!"
See, maybe I am acting horny… or maybe I'm going crazy… but Ran Kuzuryu isn't that desperate to grab me. If she's gay for me, go right ahead. But if she's out for my head, go right ahead. Either way, it won't work. I'm not a lesbian, nor do I want to die. I'm not into anything, except my videos.
Waka was finishing another of her ViewTube videos, and she got a text from Anonymous. "Come see me, at school…"
Waka replied, "Who is this?"
The text replied: "Come to the school. I got snacks."
Waka blocked the person, as she huffed, "You think I'm stupid? Stranger danger…" She contacted Myu, "Hey, Myu? There's something going on at the school."
Myu replied, "Oh? What is it?"
"I got a text that I have to go back in the building… and when they offered me snacks, I blocked him."
Myu responded, "Right. It could be an enemy. Cy and I will investigate. You stay in your room, safely."
"Don't tell me twice." Waka hung up, as Cy & Myu departed to the school building. Waka was sighing in relief, as she said, "Well, Ran Kuzuryu, or rather this pervert, cannot bother me tonight."
That evening, Waka was sleeping, as she heard a sound. Music played, as Waka blushed lightly. She woke up and asked, "Hmmmngh… What the hell is that?" She opened her eyes, as Ran was waiting for her, near her door. Ran said, "I'm alright… Are you?"
Waka blushed, "R-Ran? What are you doing here, at night?"
Ran was blushing, as she was in only her white panties, and her blonde hair covering her bare breasts. "I was waiting for you to wake up… but you… You wouldn't listen…"
Waka shivered, "Uhhhhh… R-R-Ran? Wait…"
Ran crawled to her and whispered, "I am such a naughty girl…" She held her, as Waka was feeling her warmth. They held each other, and Waka blushed, "Kiss me…"
They started to kiss and make out, making love, under the covers of the futon. Waka moaned, as the music continued to play, "Mmmgh… Yes… Yes… Ahhh… Ahhhhhh! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
The next morning, Waka woke up, with her clothes messy and her hair messed up. She moaned, "What dream was that?"
She saw herself and shrieked, "KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
XXXXX
Waka stormed in and roared, "RAN KUZURYU!"
Mr. Kuzuryu said, "Ah, Miss Kyogoku."
"DON'T YOU PRAISE ME, OLD MAN! WHERE IS SHE?" Waka yelled.
Ran said, "We were talking about you." She was with the rest of the club, as Waka asked, "What? Is this… Is this some sort of intervention? Or is this a marriage proposal?"
Ran gasped, "WHAT?"
"YOU HEARD ME!" Waka yelled, "I WANT THAT BITCH EXPELLED! SHE VIOLATED ME!"
Ran cried, "SINCE WHEN?"
"WHEN I GOT A TEXT, IT WAS FROM ANONYMOUS, FROM HERE! AND IT WAS YOU THAT BAIT ME INTO RAPING ME!" Waka explained. Everyone gasped, as Waka yelled, "You stay the hell away from me, Rich Girl, before I lose any shred of sanity I have left!"
Kikuko cried, "She's gone mad!"
Cy cried, "Waka, no! Wan's innocent! She wuz wid us, duwing the night."
Myu stated, "Waka, the guy that sent you the message… He was a pervert that snuck into the school, and wanted to kidnap you. But we found him. Shiratsuru, Cy, & I were able to capture him."
"Eh?"
Ran nodded, "And I called the police on them."
"Eh?!"
Ran stated, "And you accuse me of rape? I wasn't even in your room! You're insane!"
Waka yelled, "Am I? AM I? Because you ruined my life! My reclusive life! Expel me, evict me, I don't care! You can ban me from the school grounds, but I! AM! NOT! LEAVING!"
Waka panted, as Kikuko cried, "Is that what this is about? You're still angry over what you did?"
Shiratsuru added, "Except for the flying squid part."
Kikuko nodded, "Well, she did do 3 out of 4."
Myu sighed, "How's that a fair point?"
Mr. Kuzuryu said, "Miss Kyogoku, there's nothing between you and Ran. You were just feeling ill. But I will tell you what… You deserve a week off, just to relax. It won't count, but… I will send the staff about this. You were overworked in your shut-in lifestyle."
Ran replied, "NO! I want an apology! As acting principal, I want an apology from her, or she leaves the dorms, immediately!"
Waka barked, "NO!"
"THEN LEAVE THE DORMS!"
"I STILL SAY NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Ran roared, "I WANT AN APOLOGY!" She grabbed her wrist. "NO!"
Myu cried, "Ran-senpai! Waka! Stop it!"
Cy yelled, "You're tearing this cwub a pawt!"
Waka let go and slapped her. Waka gasped in horror, as Ran felt her face. Waka sniffled, "I… Oh, no…"
Ran slapped her back. She barked, "Get out!" She hollered, "GET OUT!"
Waka panicked, as she ran off, crying. Ran panted, as Mr. Kuzuryu huffed, "Ran… Mind why you slapped Miss Kyogoku?"
Ran replied, "She slapped me first." She added, "And I request the expulsion of Waka Kyogoku–."
Kikuko roared, "ABSOLUTELY NOT! The only reason she's a mess is because of you!"
Mr. Kuzuryu asked, "Is this true, Master?"
Ran gasped, "It's MY FAULT?"
Kikuko said, "Waka told me everything. And she still cannot understand. Ran was using a Sexy Technique, and Waka believes that she's a target."
Ran cried, "But I'd never try to kill her! More or less, I'd never try to rape her. That's wrong!"
Shiratsuru said, "I know… But she hates you, doesn't she?"
Ran pouted, "I… Grandfather, say it ain't true! I'm innocent! I'd never–."
He said, "I believe you. Maybe Waka's going off the deep end… That is why I advise the rest of the Ninja Seeking Club to handle this situation. We will discuss Waka's behavior and Ran's unauthorized judgment, later."
"Why ME?" Ran sobbed. Kuzuryu stated, "And you're also grounded for a week! I will tell your parents that, after school!"
Ran bawled, "Grandfather, this isn't fair! I am innocent! INNOCEEEEEEEEEEEENT!"
Myu said to the others, "Poor Waka. If she had that sort of issue, she would've told us, first."
Shiratsuru said, "I even tried it on her… No luck. Plus, I'm embarrassed to even show my boobs to her…"
Cy said, "I can twy. My boobs are small, but I can seduce Waka…"
"No!" Myu glared. Cy sobbed, "Awww…"
Myu continued, "We'll handle Waka, ourselves. But for now… We have to investigate why she's gone looney. I mean, some of us had issues… I had a past where my village was burned down, and I was afraid. And Kazuki-senpai lost his father… Tengge-senpai was kidnapped… Enju-senpai and the others… They all had hardships."
Shiratsuru said, "And Waka wasn't even around… Knowing what it felt like. I'm gonna go try and talk to her… You two go on ahead."
She ran off, as Cy said, "Waka's hurt…" Kikuko remarked, "No… She's broken."
Waka was outside, crying, as she was sitting near the tree. Shiratsuru said, "You know, you're facing expulsion for this."
Waka sobbed, "Go away…"
"I'm on your side. I believe you. Ran would never rape you. It must've been a trap by the enemy."
"Maybe… But I don't believe you." Waka blubbered, "But I did something cruel… I slapped the acting principal… I could never forgive myself!"
"It's okay…" They hugged, as Waka cried on her chest. She sniffled, "Oh, god… What am I supposed to do? I'm going to lose everything…"
"It's not your fault. You need help." She said, "You just need help…"
Shiratsuru comforted Waka, as she was crying. Waka does need help, and help she may get.

And she did. That weekend, Waka went to Dorobune Shrine and visited with Setsuna Tojo, one of the employees in the shrine, and Hotaru's college classmate.
"I'm glad you came for my help, Waka-dono." Setsuna said, "Hotaru-dono's not here, but I am willing to help you."
"I don't need help… but I wanna know what's wrong with me?"
They went inside and said, "Well, I'm done with my shift. Why not talk privately. Now…"
They sat together, as Setsuna said, "Tell me what's on your mind."
Waka explained, as she sniffled, "Ever since I was in school, my grades were good. Myu and the others… They knew about me. See, it all started after Myu's friends graduated… and I learned that… that I was being held back from my senior year… so I used my ninjutsu to live a reclusive life."
"Myu-dono told me about it, yes. All except the squid part."
"I know… Ran Kuzuryu was acting principal at the time… and she… *sniff* She tried to get rid of me. I'm a popular ViewTuber, and I needed a place to crash. But… But my grades are great and all… but my attendance record's awful. That's why I am held back to repeat my Senior Year. Ran even threatened to kick me out of the dorms… but her grandfather said that… *sniff, sob* He said that I have to attend school, every day… And that's where the troubles began… Ran Kuzuryu's… haunting my dreams…and she… … … Oh, jesus…"
"She's haunting you?"
"Every night… She always seduces me… She placed my head onto her breasts, and it's been like that for three weeks. And Shiratsuru tried to seduce me, but it has little effect; and Miss Kikuko told me it's a ninja technique, only I couldn't believe me… And Ran appeared, after a pervert called me, and I thought it was her! And it's been going on for three weeks! That's how long I was attending classes, for three weeks! And the other night, Ran came in and raped me… and I lost myself. If she's in love with me, then I am crazy… but if she's trying to kill me, I know I'm right. But if I'm wrong, I'm going to be expelled."
Setsuna nodded, "It's obvious that you've had a horrible experience. Maybe staying in your room was giving you cabin fever."
"I don't think it is. Myu and the others have been taking me places, outside."
Setsuna held her and said, "It's alright, Waka-dono. I will discuss with Hotaru, and arrange a talk with Ran. Afterwards, I will talk to Mr. Kuzuryu about this–."
"NO!" Waka broke out and cried, "If I let you, they'd know! Ran Kuzuryu hates me. She has a thing for me… I mean, if I wait longer, I'm going to die or be raped. You know? She'll be like… one of those succubi in those horror movies."
Setsuna nodded, "Okay… Just stay with us in Dorobune Shrine. You pack your things, and you get the hell out of this school. I will talk to Ran-dono, after I speak to Myu-dono. She'll understand. But you can't let Ran get to you. We can find a place for you, and we can give you a moment's rest. You can still go to school, just you cannot overthink it. We can set you up with protection, if you wish. What every girl aims for… is protection. You got that? Just remember. Ran's not your enemy. Ran's not a murderer. What she aims for is your friendship… Not now, just… Try to understand. Now how does that sound?"
Waka nodded lightly, as she whispered, "Okay…"

Waka went to the dorms, as she was tired. Ran followed her, as she called, "Waka!" She said, "How was your trip?"
"Ran, get away from me. My mind's made up!"
"Look! I wanted to apologize to you. I'm sorry for the way I acted."
Waka scowled, "I don't care! I'm leaving the dorms, you got your wish! I'm staying the hell away from you!"
Ran barked, "Waka, I'm still acting principal, and I demand an apology from you! I apologized, so at least forgive me for my actions!"
"I AM NOT FORGIVING THE WOMAN THAT TRY TO SHATTER MY VIEWTUBE DREAMS!"
"WAKA, I AM NOT! I WILL NOT HAVE YOU ACT LIKE A BABY! NOW GO TO MY OFFICE, NOW!"
"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO, YOU RAPIST!"
Waka ran off, as Ran chased after her, "WAKA!"
She ran up the stairs, as the Dorm Mother cried, "HEY, NO RUNNING!"
"WAKA, GET–!" She was restrained, as Ran cried, "WAKAAAAAAAAAA!"
The Dorm Mother asked, "Do you live here?"
"NO! But I am–." She broke free, "Oh, the hell with it! WAKA!"
Waka locked her door and barricaded the door. She cried, "SCREW YOU, RICH GIRL!"
Ran pounded the door and yelled, "WAKA, OPEN THIS GODDAMN DOOR, NOW! WAKA?" She calmed down and sniffled, "Fine… You can just stay there… I said I'm sorry… I would never try to hurt you… Grandfather said… You're innocent. But you have to face a week's detention, after school. Me, however… I got detention in college, after I retaliated. I'm sorry I hit you… but you're delusional! I'm not that rude! I'm not going to kill you!"
Ran walked off and said, "So, yeah… We'll forget all this, and you can stay in there… until you're ready to talk." She left the girl's dorms, as Waka sniffled, leaning by the door. She whispered, "Why?"
Waka was hurt, as Ran was calling Myu. She said, "Yeah… She's getting worse."
What she and I aim for. What every girl aimed for… They want to unleash their urge, confess their feelings, or even try to discipline you… I'm doomed to live my life as a hobo… with no internet. But she's telling the Club about my behavior… I know it…

That night, Myu arrived in Waka's dorm room. She knocked on the door, as Myu stepped in. It was empty. "Waka?"
She went inside the dark room, and she shut the door behind. She whispered, "It's dark… but I hope Waka opens up."
She walked in and saw a video on the computer, and she replayed it. Waka explained everything, including her nightmares. Myu whispered, "Nightmares? She's… She's inducing nightmares?" She turned it off and turned around. Myu decided to check her futon, but there was only a stuffed bear, dressed as a ninja. Myu sighed, but then…
BOOM!
Thunder struck. Waka's shadow appeared in the flash of lightning.
"WHY WON'T YOU LEAVE ME ALONE?" She blindsided Myu, as Waka was in her ninja attire. Myu was badly hurt, as Waka was angry. She didn't care who it was, as long as she wanted answers.
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaauuu…"
"Where's Ran? I want to see Ran? I want to kill her!" Waka pleaded, "I'll kill her, before… she kills me!"
Myu groaned, as her face was cut a bit from her cheek, and she was bleeding. She sobbed, "At the… school… Third floor…"
Waka let go, as she sobbed, "I'm sorry… But I can't take it…" She said, "I'm leaving, as soon as I'm done." She blubbered, "I just… want to be… alone!" She echoed, as the camera pans out to the dorms.
Waka went out the window, and ran through the rain. Myu stepped out, and she cried, "WAKA! NOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Waka dashed through the rain, heading to the front gate. She climbed over the wall, and ran into the front door. She moaned, as she was exhausted. She was also wet.
She went to the Principal's Office, and saw no one inside. She headed to the third floor, up the stairs. Waka snuck to the classroom, and saw a figure in the room. She stepped in and called, "RAN!"
She only saw Ran, in her lace lingerie. She was standing in place, as she was smiling to Waka. Waka whispered, "Ran… I… I am… No, it's… Listen, what I want to tell you is… I had time to think… And I know you were wrong, but… Maybe I'm wrong… Maybe I'm going crazy. Ran Kuzuryu… I…" She paused, as she approached her. It was a mannequin of Ran. "Ran?" She felt her face and whispered, "It's… it's a mannequin… Ran's… She is trying to kill me… She caught me."
"No! She's not here." Kikuko appeared, as she approached the doll. "Masatoki grounded her. After the slap you gave her, and she retaliated. Masatoki may be old, but he knows how to discipline his own grandchildren."
"Where's the Principal? I want to talk to him… about Ran."
"And apologize to her? Or are you going to kill her?" Kikuko said, "We knew there was something wrong with you, but… You were aware, being we're silent assassins. But we're not that." She contacted Myu and said, "Yes? Belay your orders, Myu. I have this. Everything's under control. Goodnight."
She hung up and said, "Now… Let's talk." She took Waka's Kunai and said, "You don't need this, anymore. It was a failure… a complete failure."
Waka sobbed, "Why?"
"We did it for you… to finally reach out to the world. I know it wasn't your fault… the four mysteries. But I wish there was another way. I didn't want you to break easily. Knowing who you were…"
Kikuko said, "Those video logs you made… They were recorded over your issues. And you were desperate to get answers."
"Did… Did Ran try to–."
Kikuko confessed, "Yes. She was only enticing you… but that night, she went too far, and it derailed everything. She was only trying to make you wake up to reality. What all kunoichi are… is human. What they aim… is reality. While we are protecting the world in secret, we want to work out our normal lives. Ninjas are always secretive."
"I… I'm aware, but… Ran went too far… She did rape me."
"On the contrary… You were raping her."
"What?"
"That other night… You went too far. And a failure like you… needs to learn." Kikuko turned to her left, "The project failed again… 6th time in three weeks. We're gonna have to eliminate her."
"I'm… I did that? No… It can't be true… Please tell me it's not… I remember now! That day, before I slapped Ran…"
Ran and Waka were making out in her room, and Waka suddenly tackled her down, and started to have sex with her. The moans were from Waka, and she was enjoying the lust she got. After that, she had forgotten… only to realize that Ran raped her, when in reality, it was the other way around.
Waka was frightened, as Kikuko finished sulking. "I did that? No… Ran didn't soiled me… I did it to her… What have I done?"
She said to Waka, "What do you say we talk… in my room?" She offered her hand, as Waka was shaken. She overheard everything. She was a target, from her own friends.
"NO!" Waka swatted away and pushed Kikuko down, and ran down the halls. She ran to another classroom, and she locked the door behind. She wept, "Oh, please… What did I even…" She was crying, as a voice said to her, "You're sad, Waka?"
Ominous music played, as Waka sniffled, "I don't… know… I don't even know what I have done… anymore…"
"I know what you've done… You were too much, like me…"
Waka turned to the figure, and she gagged in horror, "Oh god…" The figure resembles Waka, herself. Waka said, "Who are you?"
The second Waka said, "I'm you. And I want you…"
Kikuko was in a lab, near the secret entrance to her room. She got a call from Myu.
"She's loose?" She said to Myu, "You and the others locate her. And inform me first. She's on her way here. I'll handle things."
She hung up, as she was near a huge row of chambers, full of green goo. Inside each of them was a clone of Waka, all naked, and floating inside.
"One of our clones has gone haywire. We need to destroy her." She ordered to two girls, "Send one of them to kill her."
The first girl in pigtails asked, "W-wait… Is this wise? TWO Waka Kyogokus cannot meet."
"I am aware." Kikuko said, "But it's worse than we feared. She soiled Ran Kuzuryu's innocence… and is loose. The second clone has to kill her… or else Masatoki will lynch me. Her time is done."
The twins said, "Yes, ma'am." They opened up a chamber, and the second Waka was dressed up.
Kikuko responded, as she watched on, "No one can be reclusive. No one can ruin the mission. We all have to make sacrifices… and Waka Kyogoku's one of them."
She held her hand out and said, "You're not alone… I am like you, because I'm you…"
"What… am… I?" Waka sniffled.
They hugged, as the Waka hugging her blushed. The second Waka kissed her, and felt her body. She whispered, "Feel it?"
"Y-Yes…"
They started to make out, sticking their tongues into one another. They Wakas started to make out, caressing each other. Waka blushed, "So… this is romance…"
It may feel like masturbation, but it's not. I don't know what's going on, anymore… I wish I know… Who or what I am…
As the Wakas kissed, Kikuko appeared, as one of the Waka's opened her eyes. She signaled to her to finish it. She held up a kunai knife, raised it high, and continued to kiss the other Waka.
STAB!
She lunged down hard, and stabbed Waka in the back.
Waka woke up, as she screeched, "KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" She panted, as Ran was sitting beside her. "You okay, Waka?"
"Mmmgh… Where am I?" She gasped, "YOU! DON'T COME NEAR ME!"
Ran stopped her, "WAKA, CALM DOWN! Calm yourself…" She helped her and said, "You had an awful dream."
"Dream?" Waka sobbed, "I was dreaming? Where am I?"
"Yeah… You're in the nurse's office. You had a nasty spill, on your way out of the club room. You were out for days."
"Days?" Waka gasped, and she sobbed, "There's goes my dorm…"
"It's alright. I talked to Grandfather and he'll waive off the missed days, as long as you take the make-up lessons."
"How long was I out?"
"Three days."
"It felt like weeks…"
"It's alright."
"I had the worst dream… and you were there, haunting me… and it was like…"
"Say no more. I wanted to help you, after all. Now, don't cry… I'm going to go see the nurse. You get some rest…"
Ran hugged her, and Waka said, "Ran!" She paused and whispered, "I'm sorry… for everything…"
Ran smiled and said, "Get some rest. I forgive you. And also…" She turned away and blushed, "Try to stay out more." She walked off, as Waka sniffled, "Yeah… It was all a dream… But it felt so real… What all women aim for… What any kunoichi aim for? If a girl can have a life, they need something… Without anything, what's the point? What's anything kunoichis can afford?"
She lied down, as she was upset.
That's life… School life and a job… Without school life, what does it matter? What does anything matter? Without school… you can't have a future… and they told me so. That's why I did it, because it's my life. What's anything good for, if you lose everything?
Waka let out a tear, as she was sad. She had a horrible nightmare, but now, she was freed.
"I hate school…" Waka grumbled.
Only her tiring life continues.
(Hanajima): Exit Waka Kyogoku… a mystery unknown. But freed of her inner demons. Perhaps we may never know what possessed her to become such a shut-in, and her unexpected urges. But that's life. Waka Kyogoku – Age: 19, ViewTuber and High School Senior (repeating the 3rd year), did not find the "Tales of the Bizarre"… The "Tales of the Bizarre" found her.
Inside an empty classroom, another Waka was lying face down, with a kunai impaled in her spine. Her face was lifeless, as her eyes were half-open, eyes rolled up, mouth out, blood slowly out of her wound in a puddle, and her skin paler than before.
(Waka): When I was young, my father asked me… "What do I wanna grow up to be?" Well, I'd answer… "As long as the money is worth it, I'll take any job. But I have to have a strong education to do so." That's why I went to school, not just to learn, but to learn how to make videos. There I became a ViewTuber. But you gotta learn how to operate, before you can be famous. I say "Hell yeah, I'll be a ViewTuber. Just teach me how to operate a computer, and I'll be ready."
Kikuko's feet were shown, as she went to the corpse, "*sighs* Oh, well… She was a pretty good ninja." She spoke to a tape recorder, "Watch over the current one… in case she breaks again."
A tear fell from her left eye, as she was dead.
But was it the real Waka Kyogoku? Or was she the clone? Perhaps we may never know…
Good night, wherever you are…
