I can't feel anything. For the longest time, I've been unable to feel emotions. I try to be an ordinary person when around others, but even still I feel hollow on the inside. This has been how things have been...Until today.
"So this is my new school," Thought a teenaged boy with ash-black hair and misty-gray eyes as he examined the school building.
"Hey there," greeted a voice, "You're Ayato Aishi right?" the boy turned to see A girl around his age, a girl that made his heart beat faster as he took in her features. Her beautiful long red and blonde hair, her lively cyan eyes that shined like crystals in the sun. Wearing a leather jacket over a purple shirt with a yin-yang-like sun on it, an orange skirt with two colors going thru it, and knee-high biker boots with a purple flame pattern.
"My name is Sunset Shimmer," she greeted."I was asked to show you around," she explained when she noticed a large blush upon the dark-haired boy's face 'He must be shy' Ayato world seemed brighter sounds sounded clearer it was like he had truly woken up.
"You okay? You zoned out there," Sunset asked, taking hold of Ayato's hand, pulling him out of his trance.
"Sorry, I guess I'm a bit more nervous than I thought," holding her hand it feels, so wonderful,
"Don't worry it will be okay Canterlot high is a great school you'll love it here,"
This was it; this is what my mother had always told me about since I was little. The special someone I would meet one day that would make me feel whole. This was her.

"Hey, girls did you hear there is a new student here today," Pinkie Pie said excitedly.
" I heard he is a foreign exchange student," Rarity said.
"Hopefully this one isn't some twisted creature from Equestria," Rainbow Dash commented.
"Rainbow, I don't think that every person that comes to our school is going to be some ancient banished creature from Equestria, that's just ridiculous," Applejack said.
"So Sunset-um wheres Sunset? " Fluttershy asked noticing she wasn't here with them at their usual spot.
"She over there with the new guy" Pinkie answered pointing to Sunset over by the new student at a different table.
"Why don't we go introduce ourselves?" Rarity suggested.
"Hey, girl's, this is Ayato Aishi. Ayato these are my friends,"
"Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie!" the poofy curly haired girl greeted appearing right in front of the new student before Sunset could say anything else.
These are Sunset's friends I don't feel anything form them, but I suppose I can deal with their presence for her sake. There was the cocky rainbow haired one, the fashion-loving one, the farm girl, the overexcited pink one, and the quiet pink one. The rest of the school day was what one could consider normal but my thought that day my thoughts were on her; Sunset Shimmer.
๐
"Welcome home sweetie, How was your first day at school?" asked her mother before she noticed the brightness that shined in her son's eyes.
"I found her," Ayato answered with joy in his voice that her mother had never heard from him before. her mother smiling back in understanding.
"I'm so happy for you sweetie,"His mother said proudly wrapping her son in a hug."I knew you would find the one,"
Meanwhile, his father overhearing this dreaded that history was about to repeat itself.
๐
for the following weeks I studied and watched Sunset the fact she wanted to be my friend made it easy too, and I wanted to be her friend and maybe also something more.
"Having trouble deciding on what to pant Ayato?"Sunset asked to which the dark-haired boy nodded.
"When all else fails I usually just paint something that makes me happy," Sunset encouraged.
"Something that makes me happy," Ayato said aloud to himself.
"Yea, like these sunflowers," Sunset said adding the finishing touches to her painting.
"That's amazing senpai," Ayato praised impressed and amazed by Sunset's painting talent.
"Senpai?" Sunset asked.
"Um, well you are a grade ahead of me, so you are my senpai," Ayato answered scratching the back sheepishly.
"You can just call me Sunset there's no need to be formal like that with me Ayato.
There was something that stirred my curiosity about senpai when the others left for home, and I could never spot her leaving with the others so today I decided to find out why.
"So this is where she stays," Ayato said to himself carefully watching the red-haired girl so as not to be spotted. "So Senpai keeps a journal? He observed as she wrote in the book. A trove of knowledge about her is just waiting for him a tool that will help him become a perfect man for her as he watched her dreaming of the day he could fully show his love towards her once he was sure she had fallen asleep the dark haired boy carefully crept over to the bookbag.
' So senpai thinks I'm cute,' he gushed Ayato read thru her journal he noticed penmanship of Sunset and another and a name of someone else" who is this Princess Twilight Sparkle?" Ayato wondered looking thru the journal when he suddenly heard an uncomfortable groaning sound Sunset that pulled his attention away from the journal. carefully putting the journal back the bookbag Ayato
Looks like bit uncomfortable maybe this could help he thought as he carefully placed her head upon his lap. "So beautiful," Ayato whispered stroking Sunset's fiery hair as he watched her sleep.
"Morning Sunset," Ayato greeted.
"Ayato what doing here?" the fiery-haired girl asked in surprise and am I resting on your lap? "She then asked with a sudden blush on her face.
" Well you looked uncomfortable, and I thought this would help," she so cute when she blushes'
"As for why I'm here I got carried away reading," he answered, "Thou I could also ask the same question Sunset," Ayato said, "Why are you here sleeping on this pile of books?" he asked.
"But won't your parents worry about you?" Sunset asked. As she got up, trying to change the subject.
"It's okay I told them I was having a sleepover with a friend," Ayato answered.
"But do they know you had a sleepover with a girl?" Sunset teased.
"My mother raised me to be a proper gentleman," He replied with a calm smile as he tried to stand up only to have trouble getting up.
"Could I have a hand? my legs fell asleep," Ayato sheepishly asked.
๐
Then that day in December...when everything changed.
Ayato spotted Sunset up ahead a jolt of joy coursed through him as he rushes to meet her only to stop when she got a better look of what was going on. It was her friends they were all angerly glaring at her for some reason.
โWe trusted you Sunset!โ Rainbow Dash shouted.
โ Your nothing but a dirty secret stealer!โ Pinkie Pie accused.
โPlease, you have to, believe me, I wouldn't do this to you,โ Sunset pleaded.
โWhat is going on?โ Ayato wondered, aren't these her friends why are they giving her such hateful looks? Why are they saying these things?
"You're not our friend!" Fluttershy shouted.
โYou used us just to hurt us on that vile account you made!โ Rarity declared.
โWe're thru with you! Say whatever you want we don't have to listen,โ Applejack finished as she and the others walked away as Sunset fell to her knees and began to weep. Seeing her in tears made his heartache for the first time in his life Ayato felt sorrow for someone his senpai was in pain, and she needed comfort she needs him.
โSunset!โ Ayato cried out rushing towards her and wrapped her in a hug.
"*sniff*Ayato?" The fiery-haired girl asked.
"I'm here for you Sunset," The dark-haired boy said in a gentle, caring tone. "I'll always be here,"
โThey will pay Ayato declared to himself angerly staring at the girls down at the end of the hallway as The five girls suddenly felt an eerie chill go up their spine. however, they were not the only ones who felt this chill.
"You felt that?" asked a teenage girl with pale blue and light pink amaranth hair.
"Yeah, I gotta bad feeling about it, like someone unleashed a dangerous monster," replied a boy with Brilliant cerulean hair with amber blonde highlights.
Author's Note
Here it is a Yandere Sim/EQG crossover (I think this is the first of its kind) I wanted to get this story out sooner, but I was delayed. It may not seem very dark right now but, the tale will get darker with each chapter to come.
I was gonna have it be Ayano originally but the idea of it being her male counterpart had a bit more appeal to me.

Once again, I see my senpai trying to reason with that filth that dare discard her like trash. My poor Sunset-senpai you deserve so much better. They could never appreciate you as I do.
"Surely you all have thought this over, you had all yesterday and the day before to do so," Sunset pleaded.
"Get lost!" Rainbow hissed angerly, glaring at her.
"Just go away!"Fluttershy shouted in a frustrated tone.
"Please girls, ask yourselves the Sunset you know the real Sunset Shimmer the person that I am now would she do this?" she Asked desperately hoping they will come to reason.
"Well, that Sunset was nothing but a ruse apparently," Rarity answered harshly.
"The real Sunset is nothing but a rotten meanie that she's always been that's standing in front of us," Pinke said angerly.
"Why won't you believe me that I'm innocent!? Hasn't everything I've done and everything we have been thru prove that at all?" Sunset desperately asked.
" I said Get Lost Sunset!" Rainbow shouted pushing Sunset away, causing her to stumble into Ayato.
"Let's go yall don't want to late for class," Applejack said completely ignoring the fiery-haired girl.
"Why won't they listen?" Sunset asked watching them walk away "They said I was family to them So why?"
"Maybe they never truly saw you like that," Ayato answered.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"If they are willing to throw you away so easily without a second thought. Then it was just empty words," Ayato answered.
"I thought if I gave them time to calm down they would listen," Sunset looking away sadly.
"But you did, and they still haven't have they?"Ayato replied. Gently lifting her head up as her cyan eyes stared into his misty gray ones. "
"Perhaps they were waiting for something like this to happen so they could get rid of you. Perhaps you were only kept around to please Twilight Sparkle and now that she's not around it doesn't matter especially now that Anon-a-Miss has given them an excuse to get rid of you," Ayato explained. Sunset wanted to deny what he was saying but she couldn't.
"How did hear about Twilight?" Sunset asked.
"I heard her name mentioned several times by others throughout the school," Ayato answered. "But, I don't care about this Twilight she's, not the person I became friends with, it's you," he said giving Sunset a warm smile to which she smiled back.
When suddenly the school bell rang.
"I guess we should get to class,"
Don't worry my Sunset-senpai once this is all over with we'll be a family together. I promise.

Those five that betrayed her. They have taught me what rage truly feels prioritize. I want to make them suffer for the heartache they put her thru. I want to kill them for taking away her smile.
"Now that I am looking back you five never liked Sunset did you? Always calling her a demon always bring up her past mistakes as if you have done no wrong what so ever in your life. Which one do I get rid of first?" Ayato pondered looking over at the table where the five are."Should I pick them off one by one or find a way to eliminate them all at once?' When he notices a boy with wild spiky green and white hair purposely trip Sunset.
"You should watch where you're going she-demon," lavender lace mockingly said as she and Fushia Blush laughed.
"Are you okay?" Ayato asked helping her up.
"I'm alright, thanks Ayato," Sunset replied, before looking at her spilled lunch on the floor and letting out a sigh.
"It's alright I'll share my lunch with you, " Ayato offered.
"That boy, he's a threat to my senpai it seems I might have to eliminate him first before I deal with those traitors," Ayato said to himself glaring daggers at the one responsible as he returned to his seat with Sunset beside him.
"Here," Ayato said, opening up his bento. Taking a forkful of the tagliatelle salad the fiery hair girl's taste buds lit up from the vibrant flavor.
'Wow, this good Sunset complimented "did you make this?" She asked.
"Yes, my parents taught me," Ayato "I could make you lunch tomorrow if you'd like," he offered.
" You would do that for me?" Sunset asked surprised by Ayato's generous offer.
"Of course id be more than happy to," 'Senpai likes my cooking He gleefully said to himself.
"Say did you know I work at a sushi place?" Sunset said taking a piece of sushi from the bento.
"Really? I didn't know that" Ayato said, feigning ignorance since he already knew after secretly following her to her workplace.
"I'm saving up money so I could rent an apartment that's near the school." I was going to use some of that money for a gift for the girls" She explained as she sadly glanced over at the table where they sat. "This was going to be our first Christmas together, but it looks like that won't be happening, and I truly was looking forward to it.
'They would never make you truly happy senpai, but I can,' "You still have me as your friend, and I'll do whatever I can for you so that it will be a good Christmas for you," Ayato declared "I have an idea why don't join me and my family this evening?" he suggested.

The school day was over, and the students of CHS were leaving for home Sunset could still feel all the anger and spite in the air making her uneasy as she headed to her locker only to be greeted with hateful graffiti covering the locker. She let out a sigh of relief for Thankfully nothing inside was vandalized. as she grabbed her books she spotted Ayato remembering the boy's offer.
"You got a lot of nerve posting this!" shouted a familiar voice as Rainbow Dash" Just because I'm not good at science as you are you think you can mock me about it like this!?"
"There's that bastard that dared trip my senpai," Ayato said watching the green and white-haired student like a predator stalking his prey. Ayato knew he had to get rid of any student that was a physical threat to Sunset first. As much as he wanted to punish those girls who abandoned her, he had to prioritize. When he suddenly heard her voice.
"Rainbow Dash, I didn't do this, please you have to believe me!" Ayato turned to the right to see Sunset being yelled at by one of her former friends.
'I'll have to deal with him later,' He said to himself as he raced towards the fiery-hair girl in an impressive show of speed as he intervened between the two. "Lay a hand on her and you'll regret it," Ayato warned in an ice-cold tone, causing the multi-colored haired girl to freeze up as she was caught in Ayato wrathful glare. For a brief moment, she swore she saw her death at his hands. "That doesn't just apply to you that also applies to the others as well. If you dare to try to harm her over anything posted on that dammed account. Do I make myself clear?" he asked.
"Ayato?" Sunset asked grabbing the dark-haired boys attention." I'd like to take you up on what you said earlier," she said.
๐
"So this is where you live?" Sunset asked taking in by the simple yet charming exterior of the house.
"You must be Sunset Shimmer my son has told me all about you. It's so nice to meet you finally," greeted a beautiful woman with a gentle face with hip-length black hair tied into a ponytail with a parted bang and two waist-length sides of hair on both sides of her head a light purple apron and slippers, she has a dark purple t-shirt and dark blue jean pants.
"Oh silly me I forgot to introduce myself I'm Ryoba Aishi, and this is my husband Kyosei," as a man with groomed short black hair wearing a dress shirt and pants stood beside her greeting her with a quiet bow.
"You poor thing this sounds like what I've went through when I was your age," Royba sympathizing for the young girl's troubles.
"How so? " Sunset asked.
"Back at my school, a classmate was murdered, and a fame-seeking yellow journalist that enjoyed leering at school girls used flimsy evidence to try to pin the blame on me,"
"That's awful," Sunset gasped.
"Fortunately so many good people came to my aid realizing my innocence," Ryoba
"I wish someone would realize that about me," Sunset
"Of course you do. You have my husband and me, and You have my son he treasures the friendship he has with you." This is a season of goodwill towards others after all,"
"I wish I had things this easy when I was trying to get Kyosei, " Ryoba thought with amusement.
๐
"You're up early sweetie," His mother said entering the kitchen curiously looking at what her son was doing.
"I'm making a bento for me and Sunset" Ayato answered putting the finishing touches.
"Oh my That's so romantic, " she gushed. "You know, you shouldn't have let that fiend go free, " something tells me that some like that will try again.
__
Suck on this!" shouted a voice. Sunset turned around to look only for Ayato to step in front and blocked the oncoming projectile with a math book.
"That snowball was filled with broken glass!" Sunset gasped, seeing the spikes of glass stuck in the book. If that had hit her, she would have been badly hurt and possibly lose an eye. "Are they insane!?"
"You will not live to see another day you bastard" Ayato mentally declared spotting the perpetrator recognizing the green and white hair, cursing himself for not killing him the other day.
๐
"We do not tolerate this kind behavior Skullduggery! "Vice principal Luna Scolded.
"Why do you think it's me?"
"A student saw you do the deed,
"That bitch thinks she can talk shit about people," Skullduggery lashed "I for one ain't gonna sit gonna sit by and let that she-demon have her way again,"
๐
"Sunset are you alright? you're still shaken up about this morning aren't you?" Ayato asked with concern as the two walked to the cafeteria
"Things are getting out of hand Ayato," Sunset said as she took a seat, "This whole anon-a-miss thing is tearing the entire school apart, the insults, the pushing, now people are trying to maim me?" this school used to be better than this.
"No matter how bad things get here I'll be by your side," Ayato said gently placing his hand on top of hers"I know you're innocent, I know that you are a good person, I'll help you thru this,"
"Ayato..." Sunset said the two of them lock into a trance as they slowly inched closer.
"I'd like to help you two," said a voice as pulling them back into reality.
'I was about to kiss senpai, and you ruined it!' Ayato cursed.
"I'm Ocellus" the girl introduced "I overheard you talking not too mention I saw what Skullduggery tried to do this morning. like I said id like to help you clear your name. This Anon-a-Miss has to be shut down before things escalate further out of hand.
๐
'It appears I'm going to need her help after all' the dark-haired boy said to himself bringing out his phone and selecting a particular phone number he had saved on the list.
"Ah, hello Ayato, what can I do for you?" greeted a slightly distorted female voice.
"Info-chan, I want you to look into something for me. I want you to find out the identity Anon-A-Miss account on My Stable," Ayato said.
"My Stable huh? They upped their site security since last time, so it will take a while to do but, I can do it," Info-chan answered," I take it you have proper payment for my services?" she then asked.
"How about some nice high-quality pictures of Vignette Valencia's panties?" Ayato answered.
"Vignette eh? Impressive I've had quite a few clients of mine that have asked for her." Info-chan said quite pleased with her payment. "Consider it done,"
๐
"Hello, Trixie," Sunset growled.
"Ah, Miss Sunset how are you today?" Trixie greeted in a sarcastic tone.
"Save it Trixie you're Anon-a-miss aren't you?" Sunset asked in a harsh tone only for the sliver-Blue haired girl to laugh in response.
"Oh I wish," Trixie said pausing from the laughter. "Whoever they are they stirred up more mischief than Trixie ever could,"
"This isn't funny Trixie I almost got my eye gouged out with glass this morning!" Sunset snaped.
"Well, you best keep your new boyfriend close shouldn't you," Trixie taunted. "Try not to ditch this boy like a used kleenex like you did poor Flashy boy,"
"Boyfriend?!" Sunset asked flustered at the actuation.
"Whoops, did Trixie let the cat out the bag," She teased "Ta-Ta Shimmer," leaving Sunset alone in her thoughts she recalled how she and Ayato almost kissed,
"No luck?" Sunset asked.
"Afraid not, they either think it's you, or they don't know," Ocellus answered. "But one student mentioned the dazzlings, but I don't think it's them,"
"Why didn't I think of that?" Sunset exclaimed "They would have a reason to do this considering what happened at the battle of the bands, but why don't think it's them?" she then asked.
" They left town way back," Ocellus answered "They're currently working in a street taco truck out in California so it couldn't be them" she explained bring up a picture three Adagio looking miserable, Aria with a strained smile on her face as she served a customer and Sonata with a blissful look of joy upon her face.
"I wasn't able to find anything ether " Ayato answered 'But I will soon. The fool who made Anon-a-miss will rue the day they made that vile account and started this smear campaign against my Sunset-Senpai,' he said to himself.
"I guess we'll have to try something else tomorrow," Sunset suggested "Ocellus, thank you it's nice to know not everyone in the school is against me," she said as she and Ayato left
"Call it a hunch, but there is something off about that guy," said a voice as a cerulean haired boy walked up beside her."The place where he stays. The previous owners of that house disappeared not long after they moved in,"
"You think he's behind it?"Ocellus suggested.
"Not sure,"

Things have gotten ugly with this Anon-a-miss ordeal, and the girls still refuse to talk to me. Luckily I still have a friend in Ayato, who protected me from snowball filled with broken glass this morning and is letting me stay with his family. A student named Ocellus believes that I am innocent and wants to help me clear my name so maybe things can turn around.
Ayato brought up something that been on my mind as of late I can't help but wonder If the girls have truly forgiven me or even truly considered me as their friend. He has a point I mean isn't it better to have a friend of quality who will stay by your side over quantity of fickle friends who will discard you at the drop of a hat? I want to believe that the girls will calm down and come to reason there just doesn't seem to be any sign of that happening.

"I can't thank you enough for letting me stay with you Mrs. Aishi,"
"You can call me Ryoba," She assured, "It's quite alright dear, After all, I know you don't have a home to go to do you?" The dark-haired woman asked "That you have been sleeping at the school either in the gym equipment locker or the school library in a corner that people rarely go to,"
"How did-"
"My son informed me he cares for your well being, "Ryoba answered "He just wasn't sure how to ask you about it because it seemed like a sensitive subject for you, " The school you need a safe place to stay now why don't you freshen up? I found some clean clothes that the previous owners left behind that should be your size," she suggested offering Sunset the said clothes.
" You know a bath does sound nice,"
'She'll make the most perfect daughter in law,' Ryoba said her fondly watching the girl head to bathroom.
"I'm heading out for a walk," Ayato said to wich his mother nodded understanding.
You don't have to worry Sunset-senpai I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe because that's how much you mean to me.

For you, I'd get rid of those who dare mock you.
lavender lace texted carelessly on her phone unaware of her surroundings as she was suddenly pulled into an ally, a gloved hand covering her mouth.
For you, I'll harm those who would dare try to harm you.
"Well, well look who it is," Ayato said mockingly." You really are a drunkard like that post said you were,"
"The hell do you want? " The green haired teen asked in a slurred voice. As he took another swing from the bottle of whiskey, he was holding. Ayato stayed silent as he approached him.
"What are you-"Skullduggery asked as Ayato yanked the bottle out his hand smashing the bottom off then stabbing him in the face."My eye! He screamed in pain. The dark haired teen then quickly and violently grabbed and tossed over his shoulder off the bridge. A snap, crunch, and a splash simultaneously echoed from the river below.
"You'll never try to harm Sunset-senpai again, Filth," Ayato said watching the lifeless body drift down the river.
Author's Note
Ayato has planted the seeds of doubt in Sunset's heart while claiming his first victims. Sunset unknowingly finds herself walking deeper into the spider's web of the Aishi's.
I wanted to to get this out before the end of the year, so some parts aren't as fleshed out as I'd like them to be, but I do hope you enjoy this chapter.
Omake: Enter the Goddess of Love
Ayato entered the basement in which he kept his Shrine his beloved.only to spot a girl he's never seen before standing beside it. She had long pink hair tied in low pigtails wearing a black dress.
"Yuno Gasai at your service but, You can call me the goddess of love" the pink haired girl introduced"and I have come to help you,"
"How so?"Ayato asked.
"With this," Yuno said handing him a flip-phone "This is no ordinary phone this the diary of future love, it will keep tabs on your Sunny honey every ten minutes,"
"Impressive" Ayato said turning on the phone and seeing the diary feature update itself.
"But that's not all you also get this, "Yuno said bringing out a duffel bag that contained two human skulls. "-Oh whoops, wrong bag," she said embarrassed pushing the bag away with her foot as she brought out another "Ah, here we are a handy bag of weapons and equipment. That also comes with an emergency drug my senpai and take them to a safe location kit, hopefully, things won't get that bad and you won't have to use it,"
"How very generous of you but what's the catch?" Ayato asked still unsure about this strange girl.
"I want to succeed in winning your lover's heart and protect her from danger,"
"So no hidden agenda?"
"Nope,"
"No ulterior motive?"
"Nope,"
"No secret tournament deathmatch to become a god?"
"Absolutely not," Yuno answered assuringly.
