It's Mostly My Fault.

The Yandere known as Cristina was currently walking down the street nearing midnight. She found it funny considering last time she was nearing the Loud House, she ended up seeing a note from Lincoln. Good thing they kept a ladder outside.

Cristina couldn't believe she was doing this. Throwing away all her hard work, her life goal, her future, because what she did was 'wrong' and 'inhumane'? Last time she did things right, she lost her Lincoln-Senpai. What was going to be so different this time? That the Tsundere would beat her up for added measure? The girl is almost as bad as her, but she gets the boy in the end? God she despises her.

Now she stood in front of the door. It wasn't often she felt nervous, but here she felt vulnerable. As a Yandere she was of course crazy (and impossibly) strong, but as a regular girl? Suddenly facing an angry mob of 9 girls, plus a Tsundere, didn't seem so appealing.

Cristina sucked in a deep breath and knocked. Almost immediately the door swung open. "Good you're here! We can-" Lynn, the person who answered the door, stopped completely when she saw Cristina.

"Uhh, hey." Cristina went. Out of all the people she had to run into, it just had to be the one that (somehow) managed to one-punch her. The Tsundere was harmless, but regular people?

Luckily Lynn seemed more content to just stand there wide eyed. After a few seconds of nothing, Cristina gave a weak chuckle. "I know it's weird that I knocked, but-"

Cristina fell backwards at the punch delivered on her face. Being caught off guard, she stumbled and fell on her butt. She instinctively placed her hand over the now forming bruise on her face. After taking a few seconds to recollect herself, she glanced back up.

Lynn was standing there, and she looked angry. Just like last time, she seemed to put all her anger into that punch. Cristina wasn't sure if it hurt because it was Lynn or because she simply wasn't prepared. The athlete did tend to break a few records in Royal Woods so she wouldn't be surprised if the former was true.

Then, Lynn's look of anger slowly morphed into dread. She looked at her hand as if it betrayed her and took a step back. Then she gulped in fear. You're scared? Good.

Cristina staggered to stand herself up. You get that one for free. Had she really said that to Ronnie? "I guess I deserve that." Was all Cristina could think to say. Lynn blinked and said nothing as Cristina again walked up to the door. "Can I talk to Lincoln?"

Lynn, although looking absolutely terrified, tried to frown at the girl. "Y-You think I'll let you go inside?" She tried hissing, but came out as more of a whimper.

Cristina figures they'd be very upset with her, but she was hoping someone more reasonable (or scared) would've answered. "Look. I just want to-" she stopped again when she felt someone grasp her shoulder. She didn't need to turn around to figure out who it was. "Right. I again forgot about you."

Cristina allowed herself to be thrown back, slamming into the front yard of the house. Although she was absolutely sure being thrown so hard that you leave a crater should hurt, she merely scoffed at all the dirt now on her clothes. "Lucky I'm a Yandere or else that would've hurt." She said as she picked herself up.

There stood Ronnie Anne, looking livid (like usual). "What are you doing here Puta?" She hissed.

Cristina jumped out the crater. I'm here to see my Senpai~ she wanted to say. "I'm here to talk to Lincoln." She opted to say.

Ronnie walked over and stood right in front of the Yandere. "Lincoln-Kun is in a bad mood, thanks to a certain annoying Puta." She hissed.

Cristina closed her eyes in a sigh. "I know that." I'm gonna regret this later. "I planned that."

Ronnie gripped the collar of Cristina's shirt. "Stay away from Lincoln-Kun." She said.

REALLY gonna regret this. "And if I don't?"

A gust of wind seemed to circle the duo at this moment. Ronnie however remained unmoved. She then smiled. "I was worried you'd refuse for a second there." She said

Given no time to react, she threw Cristina behind her. Cristina has to close her eyes as she saw she was rapidly approaching the house. Luckily Lynn was no longer standing there. She felt multiple barriers of wood and splinters as she went through the home. Finally feeling the skid marks of grass (that's gonna hurt later) she opened her eyes to see she was now in the backyard. Charles seemed completely startled now that his territory had been invaded.

Cristina stood up when she saw a very angry Ronnie step through the hole she created. Cristina's face was sore but otherwise fine. Ronnie lunged at her, leaving a sharp gust of wind behind her, and pinned her to the backyard fence. Cristina felt the air leave her lungs.

Ronnie pressed harder. "What's wrong? Tired already?" She asked. Cristina didn't have the chance to answer as Ronnie punched her. Usually it wouldn't hurt, but she aimed at the bruise Lynn left. She couldn't help but wince in pain. "Not so fun being on the receiving end huh?"

Yeah, it really sucks. Cristina didn't respond. Ronnie puffed some air angrily. "If you don't leave Lincoln-Kun alone I swear I'll-"

"Ronnie!"

The girl froze as Cristina's white haired savior appeared. Lincoln pulled Ronnie off, letting Cristina fall to the floor. The boy quickly crouched down and helped her to her feet. "What are you doing!?" Lincoln asked.

Ronnie looked down, angrily of course. "She was stalking you again Lincoln-Kun." She mumbled.

I mean, I'm pretty sure you did that too, you hypocrite.

Lincoln growled, which surprised Cristina a bit. "I told you! I don't need you meddling with this! None of you are giving Cristina a chance!"

He's actually defending me.

"First you had Lisa spy on me, then you planned on snatching me up from my date with Cristina, and now you're beating her up! You guys are-"

"Stop!"

Lincoln flinched, turning to Cristina. "Huh? I'm defending you here." He said, genuinely confused at her interruption.

"Just stop. Don't defend me. I'm the wrong one here." Cristina said.

A pause. "Whaaaaaat!?" Multiple people exclaimed. It was then that Cristina saw all of Lincoln's sisters and parents on the doorway.

"The Tsundere was right. I planned on all of that, hoping that you'd argue with her and maybe stop being her friend." She said.

Lincoln blinked. "But…"

"And I made you feel guilty by pretending that I was hurt. I was manipulating you."

"I knew it!" Yelled Ronnie. Cristina ignored her as she held Lincoln's shoulder.

"It was wrong what I did. I shouldn't have tricked you." She pressed her head onto his shoulder. "I'm sorry." She whispered.

Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw everyone had piled out and was now standing with Ronnie. Might as well. With that thought in mind, before Lincoln could respond to her, she turned to the group and walked to stand in front of Ronnie. The Tsundere still look flabbergasted, but everyone else flinched when she turned her attention to them.

She quickly got on her hands and knees, looking down at the grass below her. "I'm so sorry." She said.

"What?" She hears Ronnie ask.

"I'm sorry Tsun- Ronnie Anne. I shouldn't have hurt you. I shouldn't have tried breaking you two up. I shouldn't have done any of that. And I'm sorry to all of you too." Cristina said, glancing up to Lincoln's sisters. "I ruined the friendship I had with all of you because I couldn't accept my losses. I understand if you all can never look at me the same, but I do hope you'll give me a chance when I come back. I'd like us to start over, if you can have me."

"...when you come back?" Luan ended up asking.

Cristina couldn't have timed that better, as police sirens were heard in the front of the house. Lincoln paled and everyone else, except Ronnie, gasped. Cristina stood herself up.

"I'm turning myself in."

Nobody said anything as Cristina walked back through the hole Ronnie made. The Yandere didn't blame them, after all they were probably still wary of her. They probably assume she's trying to trick them again. Maybe a part of her, the Yandere part, is only trying to get their sympathy, but to Cristina she thought she was doing the right thing. For now, that was enough.

"No wait!"

Cristina knew she was being selfish. She knew she should just go with the cop before he could stop her. She knew it would be for the best. But… she couldn't resist feeling him just one more time. So she allowed herself to stop, feeling him grab her hand in an attempt to stop her.

"You don't have to do this!" Pleaded Lincoln.

His hand feels so warm. "Yes I do." She said. Although it hurt, she yanked her hand away. "I don't wanna be like this anymore. I can't be your friend if I'm like this. I'm tired of this. I just want… everything to be like it used to be. Some time in juvie will do me some good. Some time away from you might be best."

Cristina turned away, ready to face the consequences of her actions. She knew the long line of charges she had on her. The Loud family, the school, the Tsundere, and of course the McBrides had charges they could press on her. She might spend a long time in jail, but in the end she'd be better. At least, she hoped she'd be.

Cristina again felt someone grab her arm. "Lincoln please, I need to-"

However, instead of Lincoln stepping up, it was Lynn. Cristina blinked as the Loud girl clenched her shoulder, almost threateningly, as she glared at her. Looks like somebody wants to give me a goodbye present. Cristina closed her eyes, expecting to be punched or insulted one more time.

However, when no pain came her way, she opened her eyes. It was then that Cristina realized that Lynn wasn't glaring at her. She followed her eyes and saw she was glaring at the still very scared cop.

"You aren't taking our sister anywhere!" Lynn announced.

Something happened to Cristina. She wasn't sure what just happened to be honest. It's been so long since she's felt this weird sensation. Like if someone just lightly jabbed at her chest, where her heart was meant to be. She hated this feeling, but she also loved it?

Before she could ask what the heck was going on, she was grabbed from behind. Being caught off guard, Cristina was dragged in an odd circle of Lincoln's sisters. "Yeah, hands off!" Lola hissed.

Luna soon stepped forward, standing in a weak yet somewhat threatening fighting pose. "If you wanna get to her, you gotta get through us first mate!" She said.

'B-But Dad!'

'How many times do I gotta tell ya kid. I'm not your real Dad.'

Cristina felt stinging from her eyes. "I… I'm not your sister." She weakly mumbled.

"Yes you are, I inSISt. Haha get it?" Cristina heard Luan joke.

"Terrible puns aside, I agree. Sisterly connection is not exclusive to blood." Lisa said.

"Now that the darkness in your heart is being liften, there's no way we're leaving you behind." Lucy said.

'Mom seriously! I'll be-'

'Sorry Cristina. I can't risk it. My boss would fire me.'

'I'll stay in the car!'

'Please. You know how snoopy our neighbors are. I refuse to be the laughing stock of the town.'

'But… We got no food in the fridge!'

'Just look around for some change and order some pizza or something.'

'You're really just gonna leave me here!?'

"G-Girls just… It's ok. I'll be-"

"We literally don't wanna hear it." Lori scoffed.

"You're stuck with us like mud on my shoes!" Lana joked.

"And we aren't going to abandon you." Leni said.

'...You guys promise?'

'Of course Cristina. It's only going to be for a few days.'

'...And you'll be back right?'

'Stop overthinking it kid. We'll only be gone for the weekend.'

'You promise you won't abandon me?'

'How could you even think such a thing Cristina!?'

'It's just that…'

'Have some fate in us kid. We aren't monsters.'

'This is a huge opportunity Cristina. You wouldn't want us wasting it would you?'

'No…'

"I… I…" Cristina tried, and failed to continue. Worthlessly, she allowed herself to sink deeper in the hug.

"What's she going to jail for anyways?" Another voice asked. It was at this point that Ronnie Anne stepped forward, towards the now very confused officer.

"Well… actually, so far there are no charges being pursued. I'm here to ask you all if you wanted to press charges for-"

"That won't be necessary officer." Lynn Sr said. Cristina felt a comforting hand on her head. "I think she's learned her lesson." He said.

Cristina found herself wanting to lean into his hand, the hand of a caring father. Then she snapped back to her senses. "Ah… Wait! What about the McBrides! I kidnapped their son!" She tried.

The officer cleared their throat. "Well at first they were going to press charges, but after some debating with their son they decided to drop the charges."

Lincoln gasped. "Clyde? But he never argues with his parents!" He said.

The officer scratched the back of their head. "Well it wasn't much of an argument. More like the kid kept calmly retorting all of their arguments until they gave up."

Cristina muttered an insult at Clyde. Turning him into a Kuudere was a big mistake on her part. "But the school! I trashed it!"

"We already dialed the principal. He dropped the charges as well."

That dang spineless principal! "But.." Cristina was at a loss for words. Suddenly that 'huge list of charges' wasn't so huge anymore.

The officer scribbled something down on a notepad before turning to Ronnie with a gulp. "W-well then. What about you? Do you want to press charges?"

Cristina looked up to Ronnie and the latter doing to same. While Cristina couldn't really tell what Ronnie's poker face said, she did her best to send her a signal. Please say yes.

After some staring and awkward silence, Ronnie looked back at the officer. "Nah. I think I'm good."

I WILL END YOU!

"H-however there is still some city charges pending. Until then she will need to be detained."

City charges. The Mayor is afraid of me, so he'll probably drop it immediately…

Everyone deflated as the officer carefully stepped closer. Cristina managed to gently push her way to the front. "I guess it's something…" she mumbled. The officer, although supposed to handcuff her but being too chicken to do so, opened the backseat and she slid herself inside.

Although she knew she'd regret it, she took one glance up as the officer closed the door. Everyone looked worried for her. Somebody actually looked worried for HER. That thought was enough to make her begin weeping again.

She heard a smirk, making her snap her eyes at the Tsundere. Said girl looked her dead in the eyes. "Don't make me regret this." She said.

As the police car drove away, she couldn't help but look back at everyone. The Tsundere was flipping her off. Cristina smirked, returning the gesture.

Huh. Not regretting this.

A knock on the door prompted the principal to sigh. "Come in." He said, deciding his long stack of paperwork could wait. As the door creaked open, he quickly sat himself up. Gotta look presentable after all.

Then he nearly fell over. Out of all the people he was expecting, Ronnie Anne was the last on that list. "Hey Principal Huggins." The Latina said, taking a seat.

The principal, despite already knowing he wasn't really in danger, couldn't help but gulp. He forced down his nerves. "Hello Ronalda. What brings you to my office?" He asked.

The Tsundere leaned back in her chair, getting comfortable. "I got a question for ya. How come you didn't press charges on me or Cristina?" She asked, appearing indifferent.

The principal blinked. "Oh. Well in your case I thought it was in self defense."

"I punched her first."

"Even so, you don't strike me as the bullying type. I've been keeping tabs on you since you began following Lincoln Loud. He told me how you defended him from Chandler, so I thought you deserved a freebie."

If Ronnie was surprised, she didn't let it show. "And Cristina?" She asked.

That made the principal sigh. Ronnie Anne assumed he was going to admit to being scared of her. Maybe he'd admit that if he were to expel Cristina then he'd have to expel the Tsundere also.

He gave Ronnie a tired look. More tired than she remembered ever seeing him. "Can I tell you a secret?" The principal asked. Ronnie only nodded and he turned his chair away, seemingly going through his files. "She reminds me a lot of my sister."

Now Ronnie was interested. Since when did Principal Huggins have a sister? He gave her a backglance. "My sister became a Yandere when she was only fifteen after her boyfriend cheated on her. Can you imagine? Best friend since kindergarten turned cheater. My parents didn't know what to do with her. Once the school learned of it, they planted drugs in her bag and got her expelled. No other school would accept her. Her ex-boyfriend got a restraining order, as he should've, but she violated it multiple times. Now she has a criminal record and little education. If she had someone like Lincoln in her life, then maybe she would've fought it. Maybe she'd be in a better place than she is right now." He turned away.

Ronnie didn't show any emotion. "Where is she now?" She asked, very quietly.

Huggins didn't turn around. "She's in jail."

"What for?"

"She's a Yandere. Don't make me answer that question."

Ronnie cringed, realizing just how lucky she's been throughout this whole ordeal. Huggins sighed, giving up on looking through his files. "Maybe it's selfish, but I want Cristina to get better. She's a Yandere, but I know of cases where the person was cured. If I can save just one Yandere, then I'll be more than happy."

"Is that the reason you accepted me into the school?"

"Partially yes. Your mother put a good word in for you though, and your brother was a decent student. You haven't made me regret it yet, except the budget is going to be strained this year, so I know at least you'll turn out good."

Ronnie looked away, but smiled nonetheless. "Thanks." She said.

"Don't thank me yet. I'll be keeping my eye on you. Don't disappoint Ronalda." He said, giving a smile of his own.

"I won't sir. I promise." She said, having been satisfied with those answers she turned to leave.

"Oh and one more thing. Try and get along with Cristina please. This school can't take much more destruction." He added.

Ronnie gave a small laugh. "I'll try." She said, leaving the principal to his thoughts.

He gave a small sigh now that he was alone. He looked at the file he pulled out. It was Cristina's school file, along with the outdated home address. Of course he was glad the Yandere returned, as twisted as it sounded, but to think she pretended to transfer just to sneak back in.

The principal had not long ago decided to investigate this. It wasn't coincidental that she 'transferred' as soon as her home address needed renewal. He opted not to ask her, being too scared to ask her directly, and went to knock on the house itself.

Imagine his surprise when nobody was home. Imagine his disgust when he rang up the on-file emergency number. According to a cousin, they took the government check and skipped town, leaving the kid behind. Who knows where they are now? Poor kid.

Principal Huggins was going to call the authorities, but he knew no orphanage would accept her. He didn't know what the mayor would do in the face of a Yandere needing new housing. Would they just ship her out somewhere? For now, he opted to just make sure the cafeteria let her get food and to throw away the extra mattress he had, making sure she was the one to take it. He also didn't say a word when he realized the school keys were missing, allowing the girl to have access to the school showers.

As more memories of his sister resurfaced, he couldn't help but cringe again. Maybe if HE had been like Lincoln, she'd be fine. Come to think of it, he really hasn't visited her this month yet had he? He made a mental note to go see her soon.

With that in mind, he glanced at the rack of jackets in the corner of his office. Winter was far off sure, but maybe he should invest in a new jacket. After all, maybe someone else could use a new jacket more than him. If some unfortunate Yandere who was down on her luck happened to grab it then so be it. It did rain not to long ago. Maybe a new umbrella too? Might as well right?

The Yandere needed all the help she could get. Principal Huggins would be sure to give her the help, whether she knew it or not.

Honestly, they didn't need to give her a queen sized bed. Yes, Cristina knew they were scared of her. Yes, she knew they were only doing this because it was procedure and she would be released the next day. Still, if they offered her another five course meal with steak and mashed potatoes, she would get herself arrested again just to enjoy a full stomach again.

Still, she knew she wouldn't be happy here. No. She knew she belonged to her Senpai. No wait. She belonged with the Loud family. Looking back, they really were the only reason she hadn't gone crazy sooner. To think she had been longing for a family for so long, and the family she'd always wanted was just a few blocks away. Life was weird that way.

'...Alright. I guess I'll see you two in a few days.'

'Good. Just eat whatever we have left in the fridge kid. You know where the local soup kitchen is right?'

'Yes.'

'And you remember what we said right Cristina?'

'Don't tell the neighbors, cops, or my friends…'

'Because…'

'Because they wouldn't understand.'

'Good girl.'

'Later kid.'

'Bye Dad. Bye Mom. I… I love you two.'

'Thank you Cristina'

'Thanks kid.'

Her last memory of her adoptive parents filled her mind. For a moment, she felt more stinging in her eyes. Those LIES. No. It didn't matter. She had a new family. She had her new objective. No matter what, she'd protect her new family.

This time. NOBODY will stop me...

As the darkness set in, the nearby stationed guard flinched at the sight. They must be going crazy. There's no way that girl had glowing red eyes...

Author's Note = Well there ya have it. Some crazy Yandere backstory! Man it's almost like I plan these things!

So yeah, Cristina didn't just randomly snap. I tried to give her 'parents' the very manipulative vibe, ending up passing it to Cristina. Though I got no experience in that field so most of it is just from what I've heard/read. Still, Cristina isn't out of the frying pan yet. Let's just say we haven't seen the last of her Yandere moments. By the way, I think I got a plan for Girl Jordan just cause I've included every other 'love interest' but nothing major. She might become comic relief? I don't know yet I know she won't have a major role, but I feel like I gotta at least mention her since I did throw her name in. Oh well.

[By the way, I ask respectively that reviews are left for reviewing the story. Trolling and accusations aside, I'd like to be able to read through the reviews. They're like my fuel. Thank you!]

Anyways hope your summer is going great! Stay hydrated! Watch a movie! Eat a snicker! Hope you enjoy the rest of your summer!

Chapter 15 preview:

"Oh great. It's all about Lincoln again. I swear it's like he's the main character or something!"

"Anyways I-"

"Yeah I noticed that too. I mean with Ronnie Anne taking up all his time we were sort of his third wheel."

"We were his friends for longer than her. Ah don't think it's very fair."

"Yeah but-"

"It's felt like forever since Clyde hung out with us too! He sticks to Lincoln like glue."

"Can ya blame em? They've been friends for as long as we've known them."

"But he ditched Cristina too and she's been their friend almost as long!"

"Guys!"
