Five years...

Five years since that day.

The day SHE died. Gave her very life to save everyone around her. She was just that way. She saw the joy and grander in everything around her. She had touched and been apart of more lives than just those of S.E.E.S., and all were saddened with her passing. None knew that she had chose to become the wall that protected the Earth from Nyx or really Erebus.

Five years can change many things. It can also bring along memories that cause change.

"Did you hear..."

"Yeah, they're coming to Iwatodai..."

"Shinji is so dreamy..."

Amada Ken sighed as he listened to the useless banter of the many gossiping girls in his class. No matter how many times Takeba Yukari and Yamagishi Fuuka explained it to him, he just didn't get girls. He didn't like normal girls for the most part. Every time, his thoughts went to her: Arisato Minako. She was his ideal girl, but she was no longer with them. He shuck his head as he grabbed his bag. He wanted to get back to the dorm before Sanada-san returned from his job.

Most of the former members of S.E.E.S. still lived at the dorms. Kirijio Mitsuru had made it clear that the dorms were their home as long as they all needed it to be. As such Sanada Akihiko, Aragaki Shinjiro, Aigis, and Koromaru all lived at the dorms permanently. Akihiko worked as a free-lance detective after clearing Ayanagi of the troubles dealing with Personas. Shinjiro took care of the inner-workings of the dorm as not to push his body to hard after he had been discharged from the hospital the day...she died. Aigis and Koromaru both stayed at the dorm as they weren't human but felt compelled to stay. Fuuka and Yukari both lived in apartments in the city and Iori Junpei had a small house that he and his wife: Chidori lived together with their two year old daughter: Minako.

"Orpheus is way cool. Their sound is the best!"

Ken's bag slipped from his hand at the name. Immediately his mind pictured Minako standing there with naginata in had as she summoned the "Master of Strings". Just who was it that the girls were talking about? He had to find out. As he grabbed his bag from the floor he had gotten the attention of one of the girls. "Amino-san, just who is Orpheus?" he asked.

The classroom became silent as everyone looked at Ken. Everyone looked like their jaws were about to fall off. "How can you not know who Orpheus is? Their only the hottest band in Japan!" One girl said.

"Shinji-san is so hot! Her voice can make anyone melt!" Another girl said as everyone in the room then sagged slightly and sighed in unison.

Ken couldn't take much more of his classmates weirdness and left."Shinji? She? Isn't Shinji a boy's name?" Ken thought out loud. He had been confused by his classmates. Didn't girls usually swoon over boys, not other girls? He had been at a complete lost as he came near the station.

"I thought you hated Mad Bull?" a voice said as Ken came closer to the station. He had seen a small group of people standing around one the the vending machines. They didn't seem like they were from Iwatodai.

"Shut up!" a harsh and vaguely familiar voice snapped. The center of the group stood someone wearing a black hoodie with XXII on the back and a black fedora. "I like still machine's Mad Bull!" the person said as the group then moved towards a rather large van.

Ken couldn't help but feel déjà vu as he watched the group leave.

Akihiko sighed as he looked at his caller id on his cell. It was Junpei. He had already had a tiring day of looking around town and he didn't want to deal with the only parent of the group. But he still answered his phone. "What is it Junpei?" he asked.

"Hey Sempai, did you guys get anything weird in the mail today?"

Akihiko stopped at the steps of the dorm. "I just got back so I don't know yet. Why?" he asked.

The sounds of little feet running across a wooden floor was heard in the background with Chidori calling out the two's daughter's name. "It's just Fuuka, Yuka-tan, and myself all got these concert tickets tonight. To a really big rock concert. I mean REALLY big concert." Junpei said with his usual exaggeration.

"And why is that weird? Maybe Mitsuru sent the tickets." Akihiko said. He'd known the older woman to do that for them.

"She didn't Sempai. Fuuka works for Mitsuru-sempai, remember? The band's called Orpheus." Junpei said as serious as he could get.

Akihiko's eyes widened as he entered the dorm. Agis and Shinjiro both looked up at him as he stopped. Orpheus, Master of Strings, and Minako's initial Persona. It couldn't be a coincidence that this band had to come to Iwatodai on the five year anniversary of Minako's was fate playing at? He saw a envelop with tickets in Shinji's hands. "I'll call you later Junpei. Tell Minako to behave okay?" and with that he hung up the phone.

"Is everything alright Aki?"

The fedora wearing teen sighed as she stretched as her reddish brown tumbled down. Her red eyes stared at the guitar in front of her. She looked at the other members of the band that she was a part of. She sighed again and grabbed the guitar. Her head hurt so much since they had come to Iwatodai. "What is up with this place?" she thought as she strummed a couple of cords.

"Hey Shinji!" one young man with the bass called out.

The teen: Shinji looked up, her headache came back with full force. She winced as she felt the pain. "What's up Hideki?" she asked. She didn't want the others to see her pain and so she hid it. It always seemed easy to hide the pain she felt when she was in a group. That and leading.

"You seem to know this town. Have you been here before?" the basset: Hideki asked.

Shinji's eyes widened. Had she been to Iwatodai before? Not that she could remember.

Thanks for reading. I've been playing Persona 3 Portable and this just came to me. I hope you enjoy this story. On a small note I did make a small mention to Persona Trinity Soul and a small change. Instead of 10 years later down to 5 years.
