Chapter 2: Departing City Life
It was the following morning, Junpei and Yukari rushed to catch their train.
"Holy hell, holy hell, holy hell!" Junpei rambled on running to catch up to Yukari. "Come on Junpei hurry up!" Yukari yelled at him.
Running as fast as he could around the crowd of people trying not to trip, "I'm coming! Excuse me please, gosh…" he tried to be as polite as possible 'I knew we should have caught the train with Fuuka and Ken…ugh'
Yukari reached her hand out as soon as Junpei was close enough and grabbed his hand pushing through the crowd.
'Leaving for Inaba, Japan in 40 minutes. Those who are boarding for Inaba, I repeat the train will be departing in 40 minutes.'
'Aw, hell…' Yukari thought grimly as she held on tightly to Junpei's hand. "Gah! Stop pulling so much, Yuka-tan…" he complained.
"Look, do you want to get to the train or miss it?" Yukari said in a scolding manor, "Listen, apparently Mitsuru-senpai has Aegis with her and Fuuka and Ken is going to somehow conceal Koro-chan when boarding the train."
Junpei halted for a moment, "Okay so what does that have to do with us….?"
Sighing Yukari pulled as hard as she could to get Junpei to start moving, "Meaning, WE don't have a reason for being late and missing the train you asshole!"
**Gekkukan College Dorms**
'It has to be around here somewhere…' Ken looked around the campus and then back at the map, sighing he continued to walk on, "Come on….where is her dorm at…"
A college student with long brown hair, from a distance spotted Ken walking around with a confused look upon his face, "Uhh, hey kid who or what are you searchin' for?"
"Um…" the brown-haired student walked up to him so he would have to speak so loudly, "I'm looking for a girl by the name of Fuuka Yamagishi…do you by any chance know where her dorm is?" Ken asked politely.
"Ah, yeah sure follow me, kid. So what's your name?" the brown haired student quickly strikes up a conversation with the younger pupil.
Ken without hesitation answered him, "My name is Ken Amada…what's your name?"
"Well, nice to meet ya Ken-kun, the names' Kenji Tomochika and don't wear it out, little dude." A goofy grin painted Kenji's face as looked around the people to see the numbers on the dorm.
"We should be coming up on it…there should be a pond around this corner, which is close to her dorm." Kenji said in a low tone. Ken continued to follow behind him closely due to the fact he was not all that use to being around college students.
A loud laughter was heard not too far from where Kenji and Ken was heading. "Man, I know you heard that…might be her around the corner with a handful of girls…" Kenji said with a hint of excitement in his voice and a pervert look on his face.
'I hope she's around the corner…' he thought nervously.
As Kenji reached the end of the corner turned around to see Kenji lagging behind with a nervous look, "Hey, hurry up she's right around the corner, not even joking."
Nodding Ken speed walk up to him to see a happy young college women happily laughing with her friends, "Hey, Fuuka-senpai! Hey!" he jumped up and down waving his arms above his head.
The young women turned around to see two brown-haired boys, "Oh, hello Kenji-kun, Ken-kun…I wasn't expecting..." she stopped midway as she remember the reason for Ken showing up, "Oh! I know now, we were going to go to Inaba…alright well come on Ken-kun, bye everyone!"
Fuuka and Ken walked into the dorm to grab her luggage while they conversed with each other.
**Amagi Inn in Inaba**
"Oh what the hell…Come on Mitsuru pick up the phone!" Akihiko yelled into the answer machine glaring angrily at his cell phone. Growing impatient Akihiko slammed his phone on the ground and continued to curse loudly.
A knock was heard from his door, "Err, who is it?" he said hesitantly.
"Yukiko…" came an answer from outside the closed door.
Akihiko thought to himself quietly, "Come in…" Yukiko entered with grace in each of her steps. Akihiko couldn't help but blush when he saw her, she too blushed but covered her face up.
"So, have you been able to get in touch with your friend?" Yukiko asked through her blush.
"Nope, she hasn't picked up yet…I'm hoping that she'd at least be waiting at the convenience store, Junes" he said stooping down and began to fiddle with his shoe strings.
"Well, I do wish you luck. Yosuke should be working today so you both can hang on during one of his breaks at Junes…" Yukiko smiled brightly at him and he smiled back nodding his head.
"Thank you, and umm don't mind the mess really…I'll clean it up…" rubbing the back of his head nervously. They both glance at the mess around the room silently.
**Tatsumi Textile Shop**
A few kids out side of the textile shop were causing trouble and throwing eggs at the shop. "Hey, what the hell you guys think your doin'?" Kanji yelled at the top of his lungs almost scaring most of the kids.
"Oh, damn man…it's the Tatsumi kid…" one of the punks said timidly. The leader of the punks slammed his foot down, "Pfft! I ain't scared of shit. If he wants a fight then I'll give him a can of kick ass!"
Angry, Kanji punched the side of the wall, "You bastards really wanna fuck with me today, huh?" a little bit of blood bubbled up and flowed loosely from his tightly gripped fist.
"Err, maybe we should really leave him alone…I heard he took on a whole biker gang a couple of years back…" another of the punks' groggiest voice aroused from behind the leader.
"I'll give ya a fucking chance to split and run like the little bitches you are…" Kanji said as calmly as he could, but the calmness quickly faded when he raised his bloodied fist and cracked his knuckles, "Or I could give YOU all a can of kick ass!"
Before they could even throw down, Chie and Seta came down from the northern shopping district, they seemed to be having a good time. "Seems like you and Yosuke-kun get along better than I thought…Huh?" Seta turned his head to see Kanji about to fight a gang of delinquents.
Randomly from out of nowhere the loud sound of a whistle came to each and every one of their ears. As all the boys turned around, Seta being closer to Chie, who blew the whistle, was really irritated that she blew the whistle right next to his ear, "Really in my ear…? Chie-chan where did you get that from…?"
"Oh! This…yeah your uncle gave it to me when I first went into training as a police officer! Now back to business…." Chie proceeded to turn her attention to a group of shocked delinquents, "You delinquents better scram before I take you all in for vandalism and attempted assault."
"Man, guys lets scat…this isn't worth our time." The punk leader and the rest of his delinquent friends ran to the northern district.
Kanji almost exploded at Chie, "WHAT THE HELL CHIE-SENPAI! YOU DIDN'T ARREST THEM? WHATS THE USE OF BEING A COP IF YOU DON'T DO YOUR DAMN JOB?" he scolded at her loudly.
Seta backed away from the two arguing, Chie only grew impatient as she was getting scolded at by Kanji.
As soon as Kanji was gasping for breath from yelling at her, she decided it was her turn to get him back but in a calm way, "Look, Kanji-kun I let those idiots go because, I've seen them before and trust me I'mma take care of 'em. Now, Seta and I will help you clean up this mess…"
"Oh…Okay why didn't you say that before senpai…?" this time the only answer Kanji received from Chie was her foot slamming heavily on top of his.
"We need to wrap your hand up…" and with that she proceeded to open the entrance door to Tatsumi textile, as Seta followed with a hand full of Kanji's shirt in his hand, dragging him inside. Kanji didn't try to struggle but, only complied mumbling curses under his breath.
**Junes Grocery Department**
"So, Nanako-chan what would you like to get?" Naoto asked while she searched throughout the foods. Teddy ran all around the store picking up random things and placing them in the wrong areas.
Nanako thought a for a little while as Teddy was grabbing everything that was in sight and what he thought would be great to mix together, "Well, I think since it's to celebrate big bro's coming home…we should make his favorite foods…which are almost most of the foods Teddy grabbed" she smiled giggling at Naoto and Teddy who were having a conflict about the number of foods he picked up.
"Look, Teddy we don't need that many." Naoto said take the frozen foods out of his hand one by one only to have Teddy snatch them back.
Teddy quickly hide the food behind his back, "But this is a beary important situation!"
"…Look oh forget it…Teddy you pay for what you pick up while I pay for what me and Nanako-chan picks up, deal?" Naoto stuck her arm out in front of the blonde haired boy.
It took a while for Teddy to shake her hand for fear she would quickly somehow take the foods from his grasp, "Hmm…alright deal good luck Nao-chan, Nanako-chan!" with a shake and a smile both of them went their separate ways to go shopping for food.
"Alright, Nanako-chan let's see if everyone will accept our food goods instead of Teddy's" Naoto smirked with a small shopping basket in hand. Nanako took the basket from her and grabbed a cart smiling, "I think we'll be needing this."
**Outside Of Junes**
"Hahaha! Are you serious man? When was this?" Akihiko held his stomach as he laughed. Yosuke who was in tears from laughing continued on through the story, but was soon too interrupted by a loud thump on the table they sat at.
Yosuke sighed miserably, "Look, Chie I'm not buying you no more damn steak" as both of them turn around they saw an angry redheaded woman. Gasping Yosuke's whole body shook 'Shit, shit, shit, shit, SHIT! That's defiantly NOT Chie-chan'
"Err…." Yosuke started off as quietly as he could, started chewing his nails nervously 'Dude, like seriously I've never been this nervous before since me and Chie had our first kiss…what's this strange vibe I'm getting from this chick…?'
"Akihiko…" the redheaded woman started off in a threatening tone.
"Oh, shit….Mitsuru please forgive me…?" Akihiko said weakly as he was so shaken up he fell out his chair landing on his knees and began bowing his head.
Yosuke quickly jumped out of his chair almost knocking his over as well, "Err…I shouldn't umm…I…Hehehe…bye!" he laughed nervously backing away from the awkward situation.
"Forgiveness is all you can ask for? Where the hell have you been!" Mitsuru yelled at him grabbing the back of his shirt collar.
"Well, I…I was having a hard time finding this place and I was getting a tour around and…and…err…"
Silence went pass for a few minutes between both of them, until Akihiko felt Mitsuru's warm embrace, "Well I'm just glad you made it here safely." As quickly as she embraced him she let him go and grabbed his hand as she rose up.
Akihiko stayed quiet with his full attention on Mitsuru. "I know…you want to know why I called everyone down here right. Well it's because, I believe there is a group of people here who also use persona'sbut differently."
"I see…" he looked down his hands and Mitsuru put hers over his to grab his attention.
Akihiko looked Mitsuru in the eye this time seeing nothing but fear and anger, "What else is bothering you?"
She loosened her grip on his hands, "You remember him right…?" Akihiko nodded slowly as the memories in his mind continuously crossed paths. "Well…"
"Oh HEY AKIHIKO!" Chie yelled waving at him with Seta and an extremely pissed off Kanji trailing behind her, "Hey, what's up? And is this one of your friends?"
Mitsuru gave Akihiko a confused look, "Err, this redhead woman here is the one I was searching for a few days back, and Mitsuru these are the guys that actually showed me around a bit when I departed the train."
"Nice too meet you all." Mitsuru rose from her chair and bowed respectfully, Seta and Chie did the same and Kanji was forced.
There was a moment of silence after everyone introduced themselves to Mitsuru. Akihiko on the other hand was so nervous that the spoon he kept fiddling around with for a while had bent.
Mitsuru looked through her cell phone, Chie being noisy looked over her shoulder, "Who ya callin'?"
"An old friend of me and Akihiko, they are supposed to be arriving some time tomorrow…"
"Oh…How many?"
"Five." She answered bluntly.
"Oh…" Chie went silent for a moment and began picking underneath her nails. At this point, Kanji irritably left them walking up to one of Junes outside stands.
"HEY, Kanji-kun could ya order me some steak please…make that six please!" Chie smiled at the punk who seemed to just shrugged and turned to everyone else.
"Would anyone else like to ORDER anything…?"
"Kanji-kun…"
"What…?"
"That's not a nice tone you're using in front of our guest."
"I don't give a fuck."
Akihiko glanced from Kanji to Chie and then at Mitsuru who only just stared at him, "Uh, heh what would you like Mitsuru…?" he asked in a polite yet nervous tone.
Mitsuru continued to stare at him for a few seconds and then looked at Kanji, "Give me the healthiest dish they have, please."
Kanji muttered angrily under his breath 'Who the fuck does she think I am…a maid…grr damn Chie-senpai started this shit…I'mma get her…' quickly Kanji turned his glare to Akihiko who just shook his head, "Fine, ehh Seta-senpai you want something' before I go and place an order?"
"No, its quiet fine" he answered politely without a care in the world
**Inside Junes**
Yosuke walked around with goods in his arms, he sighed as he stocked the items back on the shelves, "That was so freakin' scary…I hope nothing like that happens again…but what was that weird feeling…"
"Hello, Hanamura" Naoto said calmly. Yosuke flailed his arms in the air dropping everything in his grasp and dropped to his knees with his eyes closed tight.
"Please don't hurt me, please, oh please, oh please don't hurt me….I didn't do nothing I swear it!" he pleaded silently and looked up slowly to see Naoto giving him a blank look and Nanako with the items in hand that he dropped.
"Uh…oh I didn't know…ugh…" Yosuke slumped against the shelf, "I'm sorry it's just that someone I ran into made me extremely uneasy today. I just…ugh never mind."
Naoto held her hand out as Nanako helped Yosuke, by stocking the items on shelves she could reach, "It's alright senpai."
"Thank you two, both" Yosuke extended his hand also accepting both of the girls help.
As all three of them continued to stock, with a side of adding to the shopping cart, Yosuke started up a conversation.
"What are you two doin' here anyway? And I hope Teddy it's with you, I mean I know he has the day off but, I get enough of that damn bear during my work hours…" Yosuke gave a sour look and continued to stock the items.
Nanako paused giggling at Yosuke. "What's so funny Nanako-chan?" he asked in curiosity eyeing her in the process, "No way, you laughing could only mean one thing…"
Yosuke's attention was quickly pulled to Naoto, "Naoto-kun you brought that damn bear here!"
"Don't accuse me of such things Yosuke-senpai, Teddy came on his own accord the only person I brought here was Nanako-chan." She pointed at Nanako who had stopped giggling and smiled at both Yosuke and Naoto.
Face palming himself Yosuke collected the rest of his goods and quickly walked away from the two girls.
"WAAAHHH!"
Naoto placed her hand on Nanako's back motioning her to move forward and grab the cart, "Well, that must be Teddy." Nanako nodded in agreement, they both walked to the front of the grocery shop to pay for their items.
