[prologue] nene yashiro's death

Nene Yashiro's POV

Hello! My name is Nene Yashiro. Right now, my ghost friend, Hanako, has asked me to meet him in the bathrooms! Let's see what's up.

I ran through the hallways, ramming through the door of the bathrooms. "Hanako! I'm here! Why did you need to call me?" I said, panting. Hanako turned around from the window and looked at me. He got an inch closer, and muttered something. "Nene..I like you." He says. I raised my eyebrows, and blinked. Thing is..Hanako is not my type- wait..WHAT?! A BOY JUST CONFESSED TO ME?! BUT THIS BOY IS NOT MY TYPE! It took me two minutes to process everything. I sighed. "I-I'm sorry Hanako-kun, I don't feel the same way!" I ran towards the door like Sonic and shut it closed, without knowing his reaction. I didn't know that this would happen next.

HANAKO KUN POV

I dropped to my knees. The girl I loved for months, didn't like me back. Was it all..for nothing? Keeping the feelings mixed together and acted like it was fine..all for nothing? I smiled slowly. "If Yashiro doesn't like me..I'll make her like me." I whispered to myself, and grabbed my butcher knife. I adjusted my cap, and giggled quietly, devising a plan.

MORNING - NENE YASHIRO POV

I yawned, and rubbed my eyes. I got up, brushed my hair, took a shower, styled my hair, and changed. I had totally forgotten about that fiasco yesterday. I walked through the entrance of my school and met up with Aoi. "Hey, Aoi! Goodmorning!" I waved. She was being crowded by boys. I sighed. I rummaged through my bag and realized I had forgotten one of my textbooks in my locker. I quickly walked out and ran to the lockers. I grabbed my textbooks in my locker and closed the locker door- to see Hanako-kun behind it, with his butcher knife aimed at me. All the memories from yesterday came rushing back.

"Hanako..kun...?" I stuttered. He placed his finger in front of my lips..and next thing I knew, he had hit me, and I blacked out.

THE BASEMENT OF A RANDOM PLACE

I woke up, all I could see was black. I touched my face and realized I had a blindfold on. I turned my head. "Hello..?" I whispered. The room was hollow..suddenly, I heard the door creak open. Well, I think that was a door. "Yashiro..~" I heard a taunting voice. Suddenly, I remembered everything again. "H-Hanako..?" I echoed. I tried backing away, then realizing I was chained to the wall. "You can't run, Yashiro..you may be thinking, why are you here?" I heard Hanako say. "Well..I want to make you mine! Mine, mine, MINE! You will not be allowed outside of this chamber until you love me, Yashiro, and I will make sure you love me!" He says. I whimper. "W-What? We can talk this out, Hanak-" He interrupts me with the blade of his knife- except, he didn't put the knife to my lips. He gave me a cut on my neck. I gulped. "W-Wh.." Then..I blacked out.

I woke up. I touched my face, the blindfold wasn't there anymore. I looked around, still in the chamber. I smelt the faint smell of pancakes wafting through the air. I heard footsteps coming down the stairs, then the door creaking open. I rubbed my eyes as the daylight shined in, and looked up. It was Hanako, with a plate full of pancakes and a syrup dip. "Hanako..?" I whispered. He put down the plate of food with a fork. "Eat, my love." He said. I saw his eyes with no sparkle. Why..he called me..his love? I simply nodded frighfully. He had threatened me yesterday..who knows what he will do to me if I disobey him? I just need to devise a plan to escape..

I grabbed the fork cautiously and took a bite of the pancakes. Surprisingly, they tasted delicious. I think he may have noticed I was cautious. "Hmm..? You don't trust me, darling...?" He looked at me in the eyes, and I looked back, trying to keep my confidence. "I-I do!" I lied. He snickered. "You can't lie to me, Nene..I know when your lying and when you are truthful." He slithered his knife under my skull, and grazed it. I gulped.

THREE MONTHS LATER..

Today is the day. I'm sick and tired of being controlled and slammed into that chamber by Hanako. Today..I am escaping.

He delivered my breakfast into my chamber and I quickly ate it all in a gulp. I exhaled.

I threw the plate to the wall, causing a distraction in my chamber. As Hanako opened the door, I secretly slipped out and ran, slamming the outside door. The outside air smelt nice, which was the only word I could describe it as this was my first time going out in three months. I realized I had to hide somewhere, quick. But what I didn't know..was that one of Hanako's hakujoudai were following me.

HANAKO'S POV

A slight smile appeared slowly on my face. "Ah..how sad..she really thought she could escape me, hmm...?" I whispered to myself. I took out my butcher knife. "A great punishment awaits, my darling Nene." I turned towards the hakujoudai which just came back. "What did you find?" I whispered. They told me the intel. "Corner street..I'm coming, love..~" I giggled, and disappeared into the shadows.

NENE YASHIRO POV

I opened my eyes, and took a glance around. It seemed I was in an alleyway behind a building. Suddenly, I looked up. My eyes widened. Hanako was standing right before me with a frown on his face. "Yashiro..I told you I didn't want you going outside..it's just for our love, my dear.." He whispered. I felt his knife graze my throat. I gagged. "I guess you need a punishment.." He smiled. At this point, I had enough. "HANAKO! S-STOP! FORCING ME TO LOVE YOU IS NOT GOING TO WORK! I WILL NEVER LOVE YOU THAT WAY, I JUST WANT TO BE FRIENDS STILL! JUST..LET ME GO! WE CAN WORK THIS OUT!" I yelled. I was ready for anything. But what I was not ready for was..

HANAKO POV

I processed her yelling and screaming. Anger and rage built up inside of me, I couldn't control it. I laughed. "Oh, Yashiro..you shouldn't have done that..yelling at your boyfriend now, are you..?" I couldn't control myself.

NOBODY'S POV

Hanako-Kun had stabbed Nene Yashiro in the head with his butcher knife..and stabbed her again in the stomach. Quickly, he realized what he had done, with the blood on his hands. Tears fell out of his eyes. In Nene's last moments of life, she felt hatred towards Hanako..a feeling she thought she would never feel towards her ghost ex-best friend.
