Would You Kill for Me? (Yandere Genshin Impact x Fem!Reader)

Chapter 21- Help Needed

(Next chapter will be Aether and Y/n's date, By The Way.)

"So~ what did he want?" Hu Tao poked Y/n in the arm.

The girl had explained that Aether had asked where Y/n was while she was sitting at Xiangling's restaurant.

They were at school on Monday and Hu Tao had dashed towards her and began asking questions. Before being sent off to class. Y/n went to opposite way, to home economics.
She had nobody to partner with so she was going to walk up to a pretty purple-haired girl when-

"I wouldn't go with her if I were you..." Childe had touched her cheek. Y/n felt her face flame and she took a step backwards.

She took a closer look, "Ah! She's Zhongli's friend from the year above us!... Why is she in our class?"

He grinned, "let's just say she was kept here so her skills are more evenly matched." Then he paused for dramatic effect and whispered, "I heard she poisoned someone..."
"Her cooking sucks, so yeah."

Y/n froze, as did the girl- Baal- she remembered. The older one turned to face Childe and Y/n, a stormy look in her eyes. She was practically sizzling until someone put a hand on her arm.

"Dear me... why you get so worked up?" A pretty girl with pink fox-ears attempted to soothe the rage.

"Y-Yae... Miko. I do not answer to your silly commands!"

"I... wasn't commanding you, Ei." She patted the much taller girl, "I'm just making sure you don't get into trouble for handing this idiot his balls."

Childe blanched, "you stupid-"

Baal punched her fist into the palm of her opposite hand, "bring it on!"

Childe crouched slightly- an imitation of an attack stance.

Yae dived between them, her arms out, "why don't you settle down...?"

"Yeah!" Y/n did not want to witness a fight.

They knew it was easier to restrain Childe as he lashed towards the enormous girl.
Yae simply grabbed his arm, her small frame dangling in the way of his swing.
Y/n smiled, relieved.

Eventually, their classmates had begun to surround the group.

Y/n felt a hand on her shoulder, "what has he done?"

She jumped. Then she realised it was just Xiao.
She sighed, "he's picking a fight with Baal."

He clicked his tongue, "well, he must learn one day. He attempts to fight everyone for the thrills... horrible choice."

"Have you fought?"

"Yes. And I won. His ego is too big for his body to handle. He's only fought a few of the smaller people and won, but then again... he had the advantage."

"He's gotten into trouble right?"

"Yeah yeah. Hardly ever squirms his way out. He has to be smarter about his rash decisions."

Y/n took a look at her friend and the fading bruises on his face, "were these from when you two fought?"

"No. It's hard to explain."

They glanced back at Childe.

"Oh right... have you decided about your date with Aether?" He tilted his head.

"How..."

"He told me, honestly."

Xiao couldn't say he was lying. Aether had called him, and screeched that he had a date with his dream girl. Though, he had known beforehand from watching the pair, alongside Ganyu.

"Oh... he hasn't said anything yet..." Y/n looked at her feet.

Maybe it was called off? A hopeful voice spoke in Xiao's head.
He also knew that if Aether decided not to go with Y/n, Ganyu would be ecstatic.

He smiled softly. Then Y/n leaned closer, grinning too, "you're cute when you smile. I don't see it often."

What? He covered his face with his hands to hide the furious blush staining his cheeks red.

"Sorry, sorry. I'm just teasing." She laughed.

"..." He glanced at her, "do you have a partner yet?"

"No. I usually go with whoever is left last."

Childe sprang at her, sliding his arms around her waist so her back was pressed against his chest, "I'll be your partner comrade!"

Behind her Baal sighed and shook her head at the ginger.

Y/n looked back towards where Xiao had been standing, but he had disappeared.

Eventually the teacher arrived and they got to work.

The icy blue-haired boy from the bench in front of her lifted his nose to sniff the air, before abruptly spinning around to look at the back of the classroom.
And, sure. There was Baal, with an oil fire in her pot. The flames licked upwards and Xiangling, from the bench next to her dived away.
Yae tried futilely to fix the problem, turning off the stove.

The teacher came back into the room with a fire extinguisher, and blasted the fire.

Most people sighed in relief...
Except Xiangling.

She sobbed, "my fish was perfectly cooked with the right amount of seasoning!... now it's a crisp!"

Everyone in the classroom took a step back from Baal and her partner, Yae Miko.
The two girls laughed awkwardly as they were escorted from the lesson.

Childe grinned, "see?"

"Mmm... I didn't think she would catch the whole stovetop on fire." Y/n shook her head.

"Well, you're lucky I am a better cook," he tasted the soup he was making, then quickly spat it into the bin.
He overestimated himself... again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once home economics had ended Y/n ran to the other side of the grounds for science.
Hu Tao met her halfway and they walked to class.

Once everyone in the class was seated, the teacher handed back the papers from the latest quiz.

Y/n frowned. She did...not as well as she thought...
Sighing, she placed it on the desk, only for it to be swiped up again.

Albedo was sitting next to her, he looked at her paper, "these were only very small mistakes, don't feel bad."

"Oh! Really?"

He showed her his test, 100%. "See, it isn't much different to mine."
He glanced around the room then hummed, "Kazuha got 100% too... as well as Ganyu. I've snuck over to see their papers- the same... But the truth is that you haven't done badly."

"Oh! Thank you?"

"See? You just mixed up some of the concepts," he touched her hand, which was now holding her quiz, "but you are very smart."

Her s/c cheeks, darkened with a blush.

"I can help you, if you want?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After school, Y/n was sitting with Hu Tao, who was staring at her.

She sighed, "why are you stressing so much?... Over him?"

Y/n stopped chewing her finger and looked at her, "hmm?"

"...Y/n~ how about you go on a date with me instead?" Hu Tao smiled.

"What..."

The creepy girl just grinned.
