Sumary: It's been years since the Fall, Everyone in SEES move on, including Minako. She lost her brother and the boy she love. Now her daughter Akane Arisato is the only reminder of her boyfriend Ryoji. There wasn't a single shadow since the incident in inaba, but that was about to change soon... Darkness was around the corner and the target was Akane.
Prologue: A mistake?
Before December 31, Ryoji Mochizuki appear in the dorm looking for Minako Arisato. Luckly there wasn't anyone else in the dorm besides her. Ryoji was in love with Minako and he want to spend more time with her before he disappear from this world.
Minako was sitting alone in her room, finishing her homework. She was tired of all the homework, she wanted to go out and do something else. She wanted to spend more time with Yukari and Mitsuru, maybe talk with Fuuka, play with Koromaru, train with Akihiko, Helping Ken with his homework (maybe not), play videogames with Junpei and hang with her brother Makoto. But today she was wasting her time finishing homework, she wasn't paying attention to it because she was thinking about Ryoji. She spend a lot of time with him and she wanted to talk to him again. She missed their talks, Ryoji open up to her a lot and Minako discover that they have a lot in common. In the last days she start to see him different, not like the new transfer that hit on every girl he saw. She saw him as a carrying person, someone kind, someone to trust... someone she loved.
Minako had made her decision, she was going to fight no matter what. She want to live, she was going to fight for the future. Even if she die trying, she don't regret anything at all. She enjoy her time with SEES and she love the friends she made this year. She doesn't care about the Social Links, She really care about her friends. She share the power with Makoto, the Wild Card, they always fight together in Tartarus and in the nights of full moon. One alone can't do anything but the two could take down anything that stand in their way. Minako was finishing when she heard a knock from her door. She sigh and get up of the chair to open the door, before open it she ask who was it.
"Who is it?" She ask with a tired tone
"... It's me, Ryoji" Minako's eyes widen when she heard his voice didn't waste time, she open the door, drag him to her room and close the door behind them
"Ryoji, what are you doing here?!" Minako was happy to see him again but nervous at the same time
"... I'm here to see you, Minako" He said with a smile on his face
"M-me?"
"Yes, Minako i want to spend time with you. We didn't get the time for Nyx's awakening and the world will end in a matter of weeks. That's why i want to spend time with you today"
"W-why Ryoji?" Deep down she knows the answer
"Minako... i love you" He confess
"A-Are you sure, Ryoji?" Minako was blushing
"I am, Minako. I want to be with you today, only you" Ryoji got closer to her
"Ryoji..." Minako hug Ryoji and didn't let go of him
"I love you too, Ryoji. I want you here, i don't want you to go, please stay here by my side" Minako said with tears in her eyes, she lean on Ryoji and kiss him. He return the kiss, the kiss start to get more passionate and eventually the two lovers fall in the bed. Ryoji stop for a moment, he wanted to spend time with her but not like this. This was too soon for them. "Ryoji, i made my decision... i'm going to fight no matter what. That's why if we die facing Nyx i don't want to have any regret" They spend the night together, they were careful so no one heard them in the middle of the night...
January 15, 2010
Minako was in school with Makoto, Junpei, Yukari and Aegis. It was lunchtime and everyone was eating Takoyashi, except aegis of course. Minako was about to eat but she start to feel sick out of nowhere. Makoto notice that, Junpei as well.
"Hey Mina-tan what happen? Are you feeling sick?" Junpei ask
"I think so..."
"Minako, did you eat something weird for breakfast?" Makoto was concern about his sister
"I don´t think so, i just drink tea..."
"Maybe you should go to the nurse office" Said Yukari
"NO WAY! Edogawa will make me drink that awful drink again and-" Minako suddenly stop, she touch her stomach and cover her mouth "I-I'm going to-" She got up and run to the bathroom as quick as possible. Everyone run after her, Yukari and Aegis enter the bathroom with her while Junpei and Makoto stay in the hallway.
"Minako are you okay?" Yukari ask to her best friend. Minako breath heavily
"... Yukari, do i look okay?" Minako ask
"mmm, no?"
"Then, don´t ask!" Minako yell at her, Aegis was glaring at her "Aegis... what happen? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Minako, there´s something weird on you..." Yukari and Minako look at her
"Weird? Like What?" Minako ask
"I detect something in you that it appear to be disturbing your sistem"
"Really? where?" Aegis get closer to her and point at her womb
"There" Minako stay still for a moment, then it hit her. Her eyes widen.
"Maybe she eat something that make her sick, Right Minako?" Yukari ask. Minako look at the ground for a moment before answering
"Maybe, I don´t know Yukari" Minako lied to her "Just to be sure. I´m going to see a doctor... a real doctor" She didn't want to go to the nurse office again. She came out of the bathroom and went straigh to Makoto.
"Makoto, could you come with me to the hospital. I'm still feeling sick" She said and Makoto nodded
"Of course, Let's go now. Junpei could you say to Ms. Toriumi that we need to go to the hospital?" Makoto ask to Junpei
"Sure, no problem" Makoto and Minako take their backpacks and went to the hospital.
Makoto was sitting on a chair in the hallway while a doctor was examining his sister in the next room. He was bored as hell so he take out his MP3 and start to listen music. The doctor came out of the room and tell him to enter. Makoto enter and saw Minako sitting in front of the doctor's desk, Makoto sit next to her and the doctor sit in his desk. He stay in silence for a moment.
"Well, after looking at your sister, i only have one word to tell you... congratulations" He said
"... What?" Makoto was confuse
"Your sister is pregnant, Makoto" Makoto's eyes widen like he just saw death itself. He turn to see his sister, she just smile at him nervously. "Well, i can give you some advice if you want. In the meantime i want you, Minako, to come here once a month for a checkup" Said the doctor while writting on a paper
"Yes, doctor" She answer and look at Makoto. He didn't move at all, he was like a stone.
"That will be all, i will see you the next month" The twins get out of the hospital, Makoto break the silence as soon they were outside.
"Who" He said
"What?"
"Who's the father?" Makoto was serious.
"... Promise me that you won't get mad" Minako was nervous
"I'm mad now, Minako. You're pregnant, i need to know who's the father now!" He yell for the first time to his twin sister. Minako look at the ground, wanting to end this quickli but the words didn't come out of her mouth. Makoto wait for her to answer. Finally, she sigh and answer.
"... Ryoji"
"What?!"
"You wanted to know, don't you?!" She yell at him "IT'S RYOJI" Makoto shut up for a moment and just stay still. A couple of minutes pass by "M-makoto? are you okay?" Minanko ask. Without warning he hug her, Minako gasped.
"For a moment... i thought it was just a random guy, Minako. When did it happen?" He ask with tears coming out of him
"Before the last time we saw it, he came to my room. I make him stay with me that night because i didn't want to have any regret if we lose against Nyx..." she was crying "i'm so sorry, Makoto. I screw up. It was my fault, not his... Mine"
"Shh, you didn't screw up"
"You're not mad at me?" Minako look at him with tear falling down from her eyes
"At the beginning i was... Ryoji, huh? i can't believe it" He start to laugh a little
"Yeah... to tell you the truth, i'm scared" Minako look at the sky "I don't know what to do"
"Of cours, everyone is scared. If we lose we die, if we win you'll take care of a baby by the end of the year"
"Will you help me?"
"Of course, Minako... i will"
"You promise me?"
"I promise"

"Minako, I'll go" Makoto said to his sister after gaining the Power of the Universe, Minako gain it too but they realize that Nyx cannot be defeat it... there was only one way to stop it. Makoto make a decision.
"No, Makoto i have to go too" Said Minako on the verge of tears
"We both know that there's no return from this, i'll end this. Right Here and now"
"Please, no! I need you, Makoto. You promise me!" She yell at him. Igor, Elizabeth and Theodore watch as Minako fall on her knees, begging to her brother to take her with him. Theodore didn't want to watch the scene, Elizabeth couldn't stop looking and Igor close his eyes, just hearing Minako's beg.
"... Sorry, Minako" The elevator stop and the doors open "This is my stop... don't follow me, you need to take care of your baby"
"Please... i don't want to be alone!" Makoto hug her and whisper to her ear
"You're not alone, you'll never will" He turn around and walk away to the light "Tell the baby... that his uncle loved him" Makoto enter to the light and everything went white. That was the last time Minako set foot on the Velvet Room...
March 6, 2010
After Makoto's funeral, Minako call everyone to the lounge. She was going to tell them about her being pregnant, they need to know it was now the third month and the baby was starting to grow. She saw their faces, they were tired and sad about the lost of their leader and best friend. She breath and start the reunion.
"I call you all here today because i have to talk to you about something"
"What happen, Mina-tan?" Junpei ask. He was tired and just want to lay down on a bed, the same can be said about everyone else
"Sorry Minako, but i don't think we are in our best condition to heard anything" Mitsuru said to her
"Actually is very important and... it can't wait any longer" Minako was shaking
"Minako, what happen? you´re shaking" Fuuka said concerned
"Okay here goes... guys, i'm pregnant" All the eyes were now on her
"What?!" Akihiko yell
"Seriously?!" Junpei couldn't believe it
"How?" Ken asked
"I'm not going to answer that, Ken" Minako said
"Minako Arisato, is it true?" Mitsuru get up of the chair and ask with a serious tone. Minako was nervous but she gather courage to say it
"Yes... it's true"
"I see... who's the father?" Mitsuru ask
"... Ryoji" She answer and everyone eyes widen
"Ryoji?! i-i mean... What?" Junpei almost jump about of the chair "When?!"
"Before December 31... he came to the dorm. No one was here"
"And what he just came in and... and... you know" Junpei was angry
"No!... i was the one who want it" Minako look at the ground while she say it
"What?"
"I didn't want to have regrets and i love Ryoji so..."
"I thought you were smarter than this" Said Junpei. Minako got angry
"Say whatever you want, Junpei. Makoto Promise me to help me out with this, to be with me, to get through it... but now he's gone, my only family is gone. That's why i want to ask you all... if i could have some support here. I'm alone now..." Everyone remain silent "I see... everyone will keep quiet. Do whatever you want then" Minako stand up and went to her room
"Mina-tan!" Junpei was about to follow her but Yukari stop him
"Leave her, Junpei" Yukari say
"What? Are we going to leave her now?"
"No... but this was a bomb" Said Fuuka
"She's right... i'll make some preparations" Mitsuru get up and walk away "I won't leave the sister of my boyfriend in this situation, he won't forgive me if i give her the cold shoulder. She need our support, now more than ever. She lost her brother, her only family. She need us" Mitsuru go to see Minako.
"Mitsuru's right... we need to be there for Minako" Akihiko said to everyone
"Let's go and see her, we need to apologies to her" Fuuka get up and follow mitsuru, everyone do the same. Junpei and Aegis were the only ones in the lounge
"What would say Makoto?" Junpei ask to Aegis
"He'll remain silence and do the right thing, he was there for her... it's our turn to be there for her now, for Makoto. We own him after all"
"You're right, let's go Aegis" Said Junpei. Aegis go to the stairs. Junpei was alone in the lounge, he take out his cellphone, there was a picture of him, Makoto, Minako and Ryoji "I didn't expect things to go this way, guys... Don't worry, Makoto. I'll take care of your sister. Ryoji, i'll protect your son" He promise. Even if he can't be there for them, everyone on S.E.E.S will take care of Minako and the baby...
