Hello, fellow YukkixAkise fans! Another Mirai Nikki story from yours truly, since Threads of Fate seems to be so well loved. This is an AU fic that I have no idea where the inspiration came from. You don't see me complaining, though, do you?

I own nothing. Enjoy~!

"So, does anyone have a story to tell?"

I looked around at my companions, all of whom except for Hinata had looks of contemplation on their faces.

My name is Amano Yukiteru. I'm currently 15 and I was currently camping out with my friends, consisting of Hino Hinata, Ouji Kousaka, Nonosaka Mao and Gasai Yuno. Yuno has been my friend since childhood, and for a while she had a crush on me. She was understanding when I explained I didn't feel the same, thought I can tell she still holds feelings for me. Kousaka is more of a Frienemy than a friend, mostly because he used to be my bully. He became a Frienemy when we met Hinata and Mao.

Yuno perked up. "I have one! Mama used to tell me it sometimes."

"What is it?" Mao asked.

Yuno grinned, pink eyes holding a mischievous spark. "It's a horror story." I felt a chill run down my spine. I hated horror. I'm not the bravest person out there. Actually, I'm the most cowardly of my friends and me.

"About what?" Kousaka asked.

"Once, a very long time ago, the medieval times, there was a young male about our age who was smarter than most everyone. He could tell lie from truth, could figure out how different situations could end in a split second and was supposedly also attractive, making him well loved. However, he held a dark secret. The young boy, seeming free of all sins, had done something that, while now wouldn't matter too much, was considered a sin at this time, punishable by death. He had fallen in love with another male. The other male was shy and rarely ever talked to anyone." She smiled. "A lot like Yukki, actually."

I frowned. As much as I hated to admit it, she was right. I was rather antisocial before meeting my current friends.

"Anyway, the shy male had an admirer, a young woman who was beautiful and dangerous at the same time. She grew up in a tough home with bad parents. She had become like a leech, clinging onto the shy male, refusing to let anyone have him but her. So when she found out about the smart male's love for the shy male, she immediately developed a burning hate for him.

"One day, her restraint, which kept her from killing the smart male for the sake of her love, whom considered the smart male a friend, snapped. The young woman practiced witchcraft secretly and cursed the young male. After slicing his head clean off of his shoulders, she sealed his soul in a mirror and locked it away somewhere. Later, the shy male, who found out she murdered his friend and practiced witchcraft, reported her and she was burned at the stake. Her dying words were 'He will always belong to me! In life and death, he is mine and mine alone!'"

Silence fell upon the group. I was on the brink of shivering. The silence was broken when Hinata asked, "And the mirror?"

Yuno shrugged. "Never found even to this day. However, it is believed to be somewhere in Sakurami."

"Any idea where?" Mao asked.

"Well…" Yuno thought a moment. "I heard there was an abandon temple not too far from where we are now. Maybe there?"

"Let's go!" Kousaka said, standing up. I tried to voice my disagreement. I didn't want to go. But, I was ignored as Yuno pulled me up and out of there. Eventually I gave in, allowing her to pull me through the woods towards this temple. However, the entire way, I felt dread eating at my heart.

Something was going to happen. I just knew it.

Telling this story with me is going to be my OC Gabe, my OC Alaia and my OC Vlad!

Gabe: why is that snake here?! *glares at Vlad*

Vlad: *glares back* nice to see you too, Thistlewood.

Alaia: grow up, you two.
