Second Thoughts (Ayano x Budo x Taro)

Chapter Nine

"What the heck are you guys doing here?" asked Ayano.
"Hey, we just saved your life! A thank you would be nice!" replied Budo, slightly irritated.
"You have no idea how long it took me to find that frying pan..." mumbled Senpai.
"Okay, I'm sorry. Thanks. But how did you know I was being assassinated?" said Yandere-Chan.
"We didn't," the two boys said in sync.
"Wha...?" Ayano didn't know what to say. What did they mean?
"Um...I actually came to see how you were feeling..." confessed Senpai.
"Yeah...me too..." said Budo, scratching the back of his neck. It was then all three of them realized that Ayano wasn't wearing anything. Before she could scream, they spun around and ran out of the door.
"I swear Kokona locked that door..." murmured Yan-Chan to herself as she dried off. She made sure not to step on Kokona or Osana as she left the bathroom. As she was walking to the sitting room, she unintentionally eavesdropped on a conversation Budo and Senpai were having.
"It's you or me, buddy. She has to have chosen one of us by now," said Budo.
"It won't be me, I'm a coward. I ran away after confessing," replied Senpai.
"Well, I think you have a better shot," Budo said. "I went off with Sakyu yesterday. I regret it now. I can never like that purple haired succubus the way I like Ayano."
Behind the door, Ayano blushed a deep scarlet. How was she supposed to choose one over the other? Why was life so complicated? She decided to change the subject of the conversation for now.
"Excuse me," she announced, making the other two turn to look at her. "What are we gonna do with Osana and Kokona?"
"Put them in a mental hospital?" suggested Taro.
"Bury them in a graveyard?" suggested Budo.
"They both sound amazing, but either way somebody will find out and think we killed them," Ayano replied, now getting serious. "We need to get rid of any evidence, which will be easy as I can set up a bonfire. Then we need to take them to a NORMAL hospital and pretend they fainted."
Taro and Budo looked at Ayano in awe.
"...Is it me or does it sound like you've done this before...?" Budo said quietly, causing Ayano's heart to skip a beat. Taro already knew her secret, but Budo didn't...did he?
"I know you're a Yandere, but I didn't think you'd actually killed people..." he muttered under his breath, loud enough for Yandere-Chan to hear.
"I-I haven't!" she exclaimed, making the pair of them jump. "My mum is a Y-Yandere too...she taught me so I'd be 'ready' when the time comes..."
Suddenly, she felt strange. Embarrassed. Disappointed in herself. Two guys liked a disgusting girl who'd tried to kill people. Suddenly, she didn't want to be a Yandere anymore. Suddenly, she wanted to cut off contact with Info-Chan. Suddenly, she wanted live a normal life, as a normal girl. Suddenly...

...she knew what emotions were.
