Naoko Kirino - Pumpkin Night

Naoko was bullied in her middle school for being "weird", mainly by Naruto Kuroki, Asumi, Saki and Arata. The bullying ranged from having her hair or clothes forcefully cut to them just beating her up. The only person not to bully her was Kazuya Makino, who could only watch as this happened as he couldn't muster up the courage to stop his friends from enacting what was happening. Regardless of this, Naoko developed feelings for Kazuya, he in turn developing feelings for her. The reason for the intense amount of bullying and her being labelled as an oddball by the four was because of her giant red ribbon with her earrings. Despite how much she'd been targeted, she refused to take off her ribbon in particular. Before the school Halloween party would begin Naoko was found by Kazuya who had been looking for her. Naoko being suspicious that her being nominated for the Pumpkin Queen was a trap set up by the others, Kazuya reassuring her that wasn't the case at all, only the prettiest girl in the school would be up for the title of Pumpkin Queen. Her worries settled Naoko would give Kazuya a quick kiss on the lips before leaving to get ready for the party.

When Naoko was crowned as the Pumpkin Queen, she put a pumpkin mask on her head as part of the tradition with the title. However, it was a trap that Naruto set up by taking sulfuric acid and filling polyethylene bags with it, then taping it all within the mask. When she placed the pumpkin on her head, the bags popped and the acid began to horribly, and agonizingly, burn her entire head inside the pumpkin. Nomizu, a student who presumably helped arrange the party and had an unhealthily lustful crush on Naruto, was the only one to notice Naruto high-fiving Arata while everyone else watched in horror and concern for Naoko writhing around in indescribable pain, and she quickly realized he had caused Naoko's accident. She would later take the pumpkin mask after it had been quickly removed from Naoko's head before the sulfuric acid could seer it any further.

Realizing Naruto had something to do with her accident Naoko tried to tell everyone else about what had happened, but Naruto's father, Mayor Kuroki, would use his influe
