Three Rules

Chapter 10: The Stalker

Enter Gasai Yuno…

So remember how I said that scary movies never bothered me?

Well I may have embellished the truth, just a wee bit. Nearly the whole movie I had clung onto Yukkii's arm. At the scary parts I always closed my eyes and hid. At first he had seemed very nervous, and unsure of what to do, but as the movie progressed became accustomed to my cowardice. He even started teasing me.

I had tried to put on a brave face, but to no avail.

Scary movies were not my forte whatsoever. Granted I could be the same way at times, still I wasn't a supernatural entity that grabbed people and drug them up into the attic, performing god knows what. Sighing I let go of Yukkii's arm as the credits began to roll. My heart was beating to fast that whole movie. I had probably done some regrettable things, but honestly I was glad it was over. No doubt Hinata knew I was afraid of this type of stuff.

I could already hear her snickering in the back of my head.

The two of us got up and headed towards the exit not wanting to hang around in the now empty theater any longer. "That was a regrettable movie choice." I murmured gripping tightly onto my purse. Yukkii had been so brave the whole movie. I knew that he hated those types of movies and I couldn't blame him. He must have tried to keep his composure the whole movie. I sighed rather lovingly. He's so cool.

"Heh, I thought you loved scary movies Gasai-san? You were so eager to go and see it!" He teased. "But you had your eyes closed nearly the entire time. I didn't know you were a chicken?"

My face flushed a bright red. "We- Well!"

"I will admit though." He scratched the back of his head. "I wanted to close my eyes to."

I giggled. If Moe had been there I don't think I would have been able to keep my cool. She surely would have ruined this experience I shared with Yukkii. Like most of the hogging she does over him when we were at school. It was fun though and I was happy while it lasted.

We met up with Hinata and the others after we left the theater. Moe had an unreadable expression on her face. I couldn't tell if she was upset or just plain angry. Her eyes met with mine for a brief second before flashing over to Yukkii. "Amano-kun was your phone broken. I sent you a couple of texts?"

"Oh uh-" Yukkii's face flushed with regret. He casted a glance at me to which Moe glared. "Gasai-san took it; I tried to text in the movies. Gomen, Watanabe-san I didn't mean to worry you."

Moe sighed and looked at me. It was the type of look that meant 'We will talk later.' She returned her gaze to our other friends. "It happens, I suppose. I was under the impression that we were all seeing 'Twas' in Love?' But I suppose a little bit of miscommunication happened. Anyway, that movie was just god awful."

"Hell yeah it was, I wanted to barf the whole time." Kousaka agreed gagging.

Mao clung onto Hinata's arm much to her disdain. "Well I thought it was the perfect romance. Especially that one seen where they both ha-"

Hinata pushed her off. "And that is enough input from the pervert!"

I laughed at the two and handed Yukkii back his phone. I gave an apologetic smile to which he returned. "Sorry I didn't mean to get you in trouble. I will talk to her, don't worry."

"Don't worry about it Gasai-san. I will talk to her. I know how to calm her down." He smiled returning his gaze to Moe. Yukkii went over to her apologized once more. I couldn't hear them as I got lost in my own thoughts. I couldn't help, but feel jealous at the way he looked at her. It was a fawning type of look, the one I had always given him. Deep down I felt an uneasiness stir in my stomach. I had always strung Yukkii around my finger so simply. I had manipulated those around him to my own convenience. Could I really make him fall in love with me the way I was now? Could I be that normal girl?

I had doubts really. The mindset of the past Gasai Yuno held me from reality. The reality is, I am a normal girl now. I had to accept it; my new memories were meshing and overlapping my old.

The current reality was Amano Yukiteru was in love with Watanabe Moe.

"Hey guys, how about we go grab something to eat I'm starving!" Hinata chirped looking excitingly at us.

Kousaka frowned. "What you ate a whole bag of popcorn in the movies."

She pressed. "That won't hold a lady over it was just a snack. Besides the nights young, my curfew isn't until 12 guys! Do you really want to go home so early?"

She did have a point. It would be boring to go right home after a movie. Besides, my parents hadn't really given me a curfew like back in middle school, the very strict curfew which had led to all of this. I would give anything to spend more time with Yukkii. "I have no objections."

Hinata wrapped her arms around me leaving Mao with a jealous stare. "That's my bestie!"

Kousaka immediately smiled. "Well if Yuno's going."

I glanced to Moe. "What do you say Moe?"

The class rep looked at the time and sighed. "Fine, there was this Korean BBQ place I wanted to try out." Yukkii looked pleased with her response which put me at ease. Moe was being very well behaved today which was weird for her.

...

It didn't take us long to get to the subway. I chatted with Hinata the whole way. She was eager for the details involving the movie. I told her nothing much happened, but me and Yukkii joking the whole way. "Eh, what! That is an improvement, before all you could really do was blush at him!"

I twiddled my thumbs. I had been nervous the whole time, but I had been most at ease when I was with him. I felt rather nostalgic.

She gave me a sincere smile. "I'm glad you guys are getting so chummy."

"So about Moe."

"Her phone right?" Hinata glanced over to make sure no one had been listening. "Honestly she didn't text him as much as I thought she would. I don't know it seemed like Watanabe was on edge the whole time. She was sitting at the end of the row next to me and she kept glancing back."

"She must have been looking for Yukkii."

Hinata shook her head. "No… I don't think so. It was like she was expecting someone to jump out at her. She kept looking at her phone, but she wasn't texting Yuki, it was like someone else was texting her. Rapidly to. Faster than she could even reply, was sort of inhuman. Spam maybe."

I doubt it; it must've been her diary.

There was nothing else that I could think about that would give it away. I was happy that Hinata had been keeping tabs for me. It was more than I could ever ask for. Moe was on edge, her diary had a better scope of the situation than mine did. I had to figure out what her diary could do tonight. She wouldn't tell me flat out. She would have by now.

"I need to get her phone."

"Huh?" Hinata looked confused. "Does she have something on there?"

I smiled weakly at Hinata. I had been relying on her the whole time. I had to do this on my own. I couldn't let her get too involved. "It's fine. It's just an embarrassing picture I don't want anyone to see."

"That makes me want to see it!" Hinata squealed. "What is it!? What is it?!"

Wrong choice of words Yuno. "Nothing, its nothing!"

Hinata pressed the whole train ride until we got to the restaurant. It was extravagant to say the least. I had never had Korean BBQ before, but the smell made me agree with Moe's tastes. The others seemed to agree as well. We all sat around a rectangular table. I made sure to sit next to Moe and Yukkii was on her other side.

Moe was being quite odd today.

It made me wonder what could possibly be going on. She knew something that I didn't. Someone was nearby, I knew that much. Her phone vibrated and she was quick to look at the response. That to which I couldn't see. I opened my mouth to speak to her but she had already cut me off-

"So did you enjoy the movie with Amano-kun?"

"Hai…" I murmured rather caught off by her question. I couldn't tell if she were jealous, or if she had just caught me trying to catch a glimpse of her phone.

"Yuno, just so you know. We all have our reasons for being in this game." I stared at her with bit confusion. Where was she going with this? "I don't think you're worthy to be the God of this world, and neither is Amano-kun. Both of you aren't fit to rule this world. You're playing this game for a selfish reason."

Was that a hint of animosity? "..."

"Sorry." She put her hand over her head. Moe looked troubled to say the least. I just realized, but her eyes were weary. "I've been remembering a lot of things recently. A lot of things from the old world, and they're really messing with my head. It makes it hard to focus."

She took her glasses off and massaged her temple. Yukkii and the others were absorbed in conversation. Moe must have been rejecting her old memories. That's why she was in so much pain. I wondered what she was unwilling to accept.

"I thought that this would be easy for me. At least it was at first." She muttered. "This headache is pretty harsh. Not to mention this diary."

I sighed and poured her a glass of water. "And here I thought you were as tough as nails. So you were acting strange..."

Moe managed to stifle a smile. "That's not the only thing Yuno… we're being followed."

I stopped. Deep down I knew, from what Hinata had told me and how Moe had been acting today I knew she had more on her mind. That's why she suggested coming here. We couldn't risk getting split up at a time like this. "How long?"

"Since we got to the movies was when I noticed. My diary has been going crazy, at first I wasn't sure it was you, but now I'm positive." Moe murmured. She sure placed a good bit of trust in me. "That's why I was hoping for you and Amano-kun to show up in the theater." There was a bit of scorn in her voice.

There's the Moe I remember.

"I kept glancing back because I thought either you or our stalker would enter."

"I see." I glanced down at her Mirai Nikki. She returned her gaze to it. "For this alliance to work, I'm going to need to know how your diary works."

I expected her to object if anything, but she nodded. "Your right." Moe explained to me the fundamental basics of her diary. It was a hit and miss to say the least. It could read the emotions of nearby diary holders. I felt a little violated to say the least. "I could tell you were fawning all over Amano-kun, I didn't know a psycho like you could put on such a cute act."

"Tch." It wasn't an act. I looked at my diary. I was very limited in my abilities. The Yukiteru diary was very useless in situations like this. As much as I loved spying on my sweetie's life, it didn't really do much for the game. I had to talk to Deus about this.

"Either way, he's here. My diary doesn't really give me a distinguishing description."

She just goes on perception. That's how she pinged me so fast, in her current state though Moe was useless to me. "Give me your Mirai Nikki."

Moe gave me a crazy glare. "Wha!"

I took it before she could even reply. "Trust me."

Moe looked doubtful. I didn't blame her; I wouldn't have given me my own diary. She was still useful to me at the moment so I needed her in the game. "Ne, Hinata could you order something for me I'm going to use the restroom?"

"Huh, oh sure thing?"

Moe's diary had calmed down faster than expect. Let's call it the Heart diary. The diary had been reading the targets emotions and it was quite obvious that whoever it was had been following us. The time dated back all the way to when Moe had left home.

A number of emotions ran through the diary, it even collected Moe's emotions as well. I could see her nervousness and fear; she wasn't quite brave was she? But what really caught my eye were the intentions of the person following us. Their emotions were ranged from frustration to nervousness. What were they planning?

I took a quick scan of the restaurant.

There was no one I hadn't seen before. I had to get a better look at Moe's diary in private. As I turned to go to the bathroom I bumped into something hard. The force pushed me back, but an arm wrapped under my waist before I could fall. My heart skipped a beat. Staring at me was the smiling face of Akise Aru.

"Are you alright Gasai-san?" He asked threw a warm smile.

"Akise… Aru…" the words were barely audible as I stared at him. An unfamiliar rage burned in my heart. I immediately shoved him off of me and took a couple of steps back. My head began to ache. Akise approached once more and touched my shoulder. What the hell is this guy doing here?

"Gasai-san are you alright?" He asked again looking concerned.

Hinata notice what had happened from across the restaurant and nearly spat out the water she was drinking. "Akise!?"

This was bad. My eyes hadn't left him for one minute and all I could feel was the vibration of Moe's diary going crazy in my hands. Either it was reacting to my own insane thoughts at the moment or Moe was shocked as well. Deep down in my heart I had a stranger feeling, one that I couldn't shake. The arrival of Akise had been all too convenient… I had a feeling he was the stalker.
