Persona 4 Fan Fiction
Title: Persona 4 – Adachi Days
Chapter 1: Adachi- Liar,Cheater,Winner.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The last thing he need was Second Thoughts.
Second Thoughts.
He didn't need things like that in the new World. He didn't need anything.
He learned that the hard way.
The world was full of dipshits , bitches and whores.
He knew that. He knew that a long time ago.
And Tohru Adachi will never make the same mistake again.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The young man smiled. As he saluted the officer in-charge of him he bowed and received his badge. With tears welling up in his eyes he tried desperately to hold them back, not wanting to look like a fool in front of his Senpai.
"You've done well Adachi-kun, now go on and celebrate with the rest of the team." The officer said.
Tohru nodded and made his way down the podium towards his new comrade-in-arms.
After nine long months in the academy he was officially a police officer!
"Come now Adachi-san we're going to old man Hachi's place to celebrate." said Adachi's closest friend in the academy.
He nodded and joined the group that made their way into the city streets.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
With almost 10 beers the newly appointed officers were on Cloud Nine.
Spurting nonsense that would have gotten them reprimanded had their seniors been here for the celebrations.
All but Tohru. He was smart, he always was, knowing which crowd to mix in and what to say at the right times had made him a favourite with the senior offices.
These "friends" of his were temporary.
They would be working for him soon enough. The thought of it made him smirk.
"Hey Adachi! We're going for another round. You want one? My treat."
"It's okay Jennai-san. I'll be heading off soon." He replied.
"Owhkay then. Awright guys, another round on me!" the idiot shouted. Tohru wondered how he even got into the academy.
The pub cheered, and no one noticed Adachi slip out of it.
He was careful. Wearing another mask as he always had been wearing to hide emotions he didn't want people to see.
Behind him the pub door opened and a figure stepped out.
"You think you're so smart Adachi. I'll unmask you one day."
Tohru turned and smirked at him.
"Unmask me? Whatever are you talking about Taro? You say it like I'm some kind of criminal." he said in mock shock.
"Bastard! I'll get you one day. You think you're such a big shot?! Sucking up to the seniors and being all nice with us. I know who you are. I know what you are." Taro shouted.
Tohru shrugged.
Idiot. You'll never unmask me. Even if you do it's too late. The department is under my control now.
"G'nite Taro. See you at work"
And Tohru walked off into the night.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
"As you all know. We have decided to make high-achieving cadets inspectors.
The Tokyo Police Force look forward to all of your support and hope you will serve the city with justice in your hearts." said the senior police officer addressing the task force newbies.
A month had passed since Tohru started working in the Force. He had successfully stopped five robbers and a murder from taking place.
He knew the rumours. He knew what people were saying about him.
Adachi's going to get the promotion.
Adachi's the hardest worker he deserves it.
He gripped his knuckles tightly only to stop himself for laughing out loud. If only the knew all the "robberies" were his plan to push himself forward they wouldn't be singing praises about him. All of them but one.
Sosuke Taro.
Somehow the fool just didn't like him.
Although Tohru had to admit, Taro was one of the sharpest people he had ever met.
"This year there will not only be one cadet becoming an inspector but two!"
Damn. Who else was gonna get the promotion besides Tohru Adachi?
Deep down Tohru knew who the other was.
"Tohru Adachi-san and Sosuke Taro-san if you would please come forward and receive your detective badges." The senior officer ushered them forward.
The room was full of unsurprised faces and cheers for the two most deserving officers.
Just as he made his way forward to receive his badge he heard a soft voice behind him.
Just meant for him.
"I'll be watching you." Taro whispered.
You can't beat me Sosuke Taro. I am but the puppet master of all the cute puppets.
The two officers bowed and received their badges and once again made their way to their respective seats.
"We hope all of you will co-operate with the newly appointed detectives and support them. Dismissed."
"Sir!" the whole room cried out.
As soon as the senior officer made his way out, everyone went over and patted him on the back. Congratulating him and hoping that his promotion won't affect any of their friendships.
Tohru smiled the winning smile he always gave them.
Junior Detective. What a joke. If only they knew…
