Yandere Ojou-sama!

I am not certain when I fell asleep last night.

Last I remember, I was weeping like a crybaby after a long time, more so in front of someone. But considering the person was anything but a stranger to me and he is the reason for my grief, I felt it was fair for Haruto-kun to know how I actually felt because of his silly misunderstanding.

I have not been in my right mind last night, a subject to get concerned about but when I think about it, after we met again after so long it was the first time the talk about the past actually came up.

I did think of punishing Haru-kun, the first time I saw him half a month ago. Thanks to the trauma he gave me in Middle-High I was not able to see so many nights and days. I was practically a broken doll helplessly staring at nothing in the darkness while thinking about no one but Haru-kun.

I usually had one thing in mind and that was, 'Why did Haru-kun do this to me?'

I rejected him, that was true but there was a reason behind it. Regardless of my behavior in the past, I actually was attracted to Haru-kun but due to some family problems, I was not allowed to get near any person of the opposite gender, which naturally included Haru-kun as well.

The days of depression were dyed with Haru-kun and his memories. I kept on reminiscing about his face, his words, his behavior, and how shyly he confessed his love. However, whenever my mind went to the things I have faced due to Haru-kun's intolerance toward rejection burned a sense of hatred in my subconscious.

The blend of my love and hatred made me unstably obsessed with Haru-kun and if not for my father's intervention I might have kidnapped Haru-kun and tortured him to my heart's content a long time ago.

The thought of punishing him until he begs for mercy and then gently applying medicine over his wounds made me...shiver in excitement. I don't remember how many times I have pleasured myself just based on my fantasies.

By the time I realized how twisted my thoughts have become toward a single boy, doctors also declared that I should be kept away from Haru-kun if the heiress of the Takahashi clan wants to grow normally and shoulder her responsibilities.

I tried to reach Haru-kun but Otou-san did his best to keep me locked until I grew more stable and was able to remain (mostly)normal around others. Somehow along the path, the desire I harbored for Haru-kun also got suppressed since in my mind Haru-kun was destined to land on my palm once I became the matriarch of my clan and chairman of my father's company.

However, the game of destiny contains the most unexpected and interesting turns of events.

Haru-kun himself walked into the honey trap and also signed his slavery under the name of Akira Takahashi. It was a day that called for celebration.

After all, my dream was to be with Haru-kun. To inflict pain, and to become his cure began to walk on the path of turning into a reality. My inner desires were once again slashed open and I was enjoying each moment whenever I had my eyes on Haru-kun.

However, last night, when I heard why something so drastic changed in Haru-kun in the past and why this strange side of mine awakened, I was not able to hold myself anymore.

I had long forgotten shedding tears. Probably after the first month when I saw my photoshopped nudes on the internet.
But last night, I made an exception since what I used to believe would be a reason for Haru-kun's revenge was actually something else.

Surely despite being jealous, he shouldn't have taken such steps but still it was really a strange feeling when I got to know how wrong I used to think about Haru-kun.

He was a scum but for a different reason.

'Ah, my head... 'Groaning I straightened my back before I glanced around the room only to find that I was still in Haru-kun's room.

I looked around but didn't find Haru-kun anywhere. Even the bathroom door was unlocked signifying that I alone was in the room.

Soon my gaze fell on his table where a sheet of paper was folded and pressed under the alarm clock. When I read the letter written over the paper my heart skipped a beat in anxiety.

"From Haruto...?"

I didn't unfold the paper to read the content before walking out of the room and seeing the person best in my assistance.

"Where is Haru-kun, Minami?!"

Despite not wanting my voice inevitably came out a little hastily and discomfort twisted my heart passing each second. More so when I saw that look of sadness and the approach of comfort from Minami.

"My lady..."

"No, don't come near me and bring Haru-kun right now, you understand?"

Why did it seem she was about to console me? Why was giving me that look like something has happened which I would not like at all? Why the heck are you making such an expression maid?!

"He's gone Akira."

My head snapped in the direction of the voice where stood the person who has ruined my peaceful life yesterday.

Before I knew I was already on the run toward my uncle before my hand went directly to his collar and in a voice that very well described my current emotions, I asked him in a real nice way.

"What did you do to him?!"

The said man remained silent for a bit elevating my annoyance and apprehension along the passing each second before finally he opened his mouth and speak out the response. However, I didn't like what he was about to say.

"He willingly left the mansion last night and I supported his decision."

[Hinoki's POV:]

With wide eyes, I saw my niece unholding my collar, with disbelief contouring her expression. I have barely seen her like this in recent years and when I think about it, it was the same guy who has given this emotion to my dear both times.

In the past, I regarded him as a criminal but right now, I think what he did, was for everyone's betterment so no complaints here.

"W-What did you say?"

Tears have already been rolling down her cheeks and words failing to form completely, that much shock Akira has received. My dear niece who generally remains cool-headed in situations where even I become nervous was showing so many expressions just for the guy whom she was supposed to be hating.

"Why did you do that?!"

She yelled at me. Understandable. Considering what I have heard from doctors or what I have seen in the past years, I could understand how she must be feeling at the moment.

Akira not only has made some kind of strange relationship with that guy in her head but she was practically obsessed with him.

"I just did what was right. And truth be told, I appreciate that guy's decision for the first time to leave you since he's the plague which would have ruined you completely."

"And who are you to decide what Haru-kun means to me?!"

She glared with her fierce red eyes, her hand clutching my clothes once again before she gave me a powerful shake of hatred.

Would I remain the same for my daughter like niece after today? Probably not, but I do not regret my decision of supporting Haruto. He might have changed from what I could tell after the conversation we had last night, but it was also a fact that his mere presence would always affect Akira's actions. He would unintentionally become a hindrance in her growth and might end her future as the matriarch of the clan and as a woman if he would have stayed with her.

"And you Minami?! Couldn't you have informed me when all this was happening?"

Her rage shifted from me toward the maid who had her head leaned down in remorse and probably self-reprimand sinse considering the nature of Minami-san, I believe she must be blaming herself for betraying her lady.

I was about to stop Akira from dragging Minami-san in this when a familiar voice echoed, much to Akira's bewilderment.

"I told her to not intervene, Akira."

A/N: - Drop a comment~

Need to settle down her feelings and also some space would work great for both of them to realize something they have been ignoring all this time.
