A/N: As soon as I realised who voiced MShe, I felt I had to write something based on the fact that she also voiced another important Persona character. xD This is actually a sequel to a series which was inspired by my play-through of P3P, unlike the Shinjiro one which was based on translations of various scenes. That aside, please enjoy~!
Her Voice, Part I:
How Not to Deter a Potential Stalker
"Hey... Uh... You're Rise Kujikawa, right?"
At first I thought he was just one of my fans who'd tracked me down to the sleepy little town in the country, gagging to see the Risette that they'd seen on television in the flesh.
"Um... Yeah, I am," I replied, tilting my head to one side and giving him a polite little smile. "Are you here for some tofu?"
As he stared at me, I kinda wondered if he was one of those stalker fans who tried to take pictures of me through my bedroom window - he had that look in his eyes as if, I dunno, he was expecting more than just tofu.
"Oh... N-no..."
"You want my autograph then? It's no trouble, I'm kinda used to it."
"It's not that either," he sighed, looking a little agitated. I bit my lower lip, wondering whether or not it would be a good idea to ask him to leave. Where was Senpai when you needed him? Then I remembered - he was spending some time with Nanako and Dojima-san before he left for the city, he'd turned down my invitation to hang out with me earlier that morning.
"Then what is it? I'm sorry, but I don't think there's anything..."
He was a handsome guy, a few years older than me. Like Souji-senpai he had grey hair (though his was almost white), and he was very tall. I wondered if he was a relation of Senpai and Dojima-san because of this, not to mention the fact that he had his jacket slung over one shoulder. There was also something else about him that bothered me, but I wasn't sure what it was exactly.
"I heard your voice on the radio and..." He spoke again, still not enlightening me with his reason for being here and acting like a total creeper.
"Oh, is it my music you like? You can still buy CDs, but probably not here - why don't you try Junes? It's not too far from here..." I really was starting to lose a little patience with this guy, but hopefully this would satisfy him. It was a shame, because he was really handsome (not that I'd tell Souji-senpai that).
"Nngh..." Came a frustrated grunt, and I noticed he was muttering to himself about something or other rather than leaving. Just then, the door opened and in stepped my two saviours - Teddie and Kanji, though they didn't realise it yet.
"Ooooh!" I squealed, rushing up to the taller (and more menacing looking) of the two guys, draping my arms around his waist. "I wondered when you'd come see me, Kanji-kun! Oh I missed you so much!"
Much to my dismay, Kanji just stared at me as if I'd been replaced by an alien, not understanding the situation I was in.
"Uhh..." He frowned and then shot a look at Teddie who was just as surprised as he was.
"Rise-chan, are you feeling okay?" The blonde murmured after a moment of very awkward silence.
"Y-yeah! Hahaha!" I released Kanji and beamed at them, not daring to see what the weird guy made of this. "I'm feeling great because my special guy is here!"
"Wait, I thought you liked Sou- Oh!" It seemed that Kanji had noticed that there was another person standing with us. "I get it. This asshole's creeping you out, so you want us to scare him off, right?"
"Maybe I should leave..." Murmured the 'asshole', hastily pushing past the others and leaving the store without another word.
"Yeah! Get bent!" Kanji called after him.
"Thanks for nothing," I sighed, folding my arms against my chest. "Still, you got him to go..."
"Who the hell was he anyway?" He asked, scratching the back of his neck. "And did you really have to...?"
"I dunno... He just came in here and looked at me as if... Well, I'm not sure. But it was so creepy! I asked him if he wanted tofu - even an autograph - but he didn't want either of those things..."
"Mmmm..." Teddie pouted. "How come Rise-chan hugged Kanji and not me? I'm obviously the most convincing fake-boyfriend, with my good looks, not to mention Kanji's a-"
"No I ain't!"
"You didn't know what I was gonna say!" The shorter of the two guys puffed out his cheeks.
"Yeah, I did! B-besides, you were the one who-"
I decided that it was a good time to go back behind the counter, to make it look like I was doing something rather than standing around talking with my friends.
"By the way Rise-chan," Teddie approached the counter, leaning his elbows on it and pouting again. "Did you get a weird feeling from him too?"
"Whaddya mean, Ted?"
"I dunno to be honest," he wrinkled his nose. "Maybe it's just me being overly-protective of you, but I'm sure I smelled something. Since the fog went away, I can sense things on this side too... Hmmm..."
"Well, I'm gonna call Chie-senpai and the others and see if they wanna meet at Junes," I nodded, already dialling her number. "I wanna hear Naoto-kun's opinion on this too."
