So like back when I first started on this story, I had all kinds of ideas and then lost them to writer's block. After a fandom break, I've gotten the urge to write again so here I am.

This fic is where I'm going to dump all of the dumb crack fic ideas I get sometimes because there's already an excuse for Weird Shit to happen so...yeah.

I'm also sticking with Akira instead of Ren because I'm too attached to the name and also because I'm too lazy to go back and change names around in all of my P5 fics I've made so far. When I get around to writing something unrelated to previous stories, I'll use Ren. That's my stance on this.

Life In The Big City

By Bilbo-sama

Chapter 2 - Eavesdropping For Dummies

One of the things Akira noticed about living in Tokyo was that it was pretty easy to eavesdrop on conversations. A lot of people would just stand around on the sidewalk and just talk.

For example, he once learned some lines one could use to flirt with women with from overhearing a couple of pick-up artists.

He later tested them with Ann. She just laughed and called him a dork.

Maybe it was because he wasn't charming enough...?

Anyway, today he paused in front of an alley as he noticed a couple of weirdly dressed teenagers arguing. He quickly moved to a wall edge so he can be out of sight and started to fiddle with his phone as an alibi.

Niijima-senpai, who followed him all the way to Shibuya, peered over her manga magazine as if to spy on his phone use from the other side of the alley entrance.

"Are we sure this is Shibuya?" asked one of the teens, a boy with silver hair.

"Yeah, it feels like Shibuya," answered his spiky haired companion.

"It feels like Shibuya," Silver parroted, skeptical.

"That's the vibe I'm getting," said Spiky, "but like...it also feels like there's a layer beneath it?"

Akira paused. Can this guy sense the Metaverse? Morgana shifted in Akira's school bag, as if trying to listen in too.

Silver shifted and bowed his head, as if concentrating. After a minute, he shook his head.

"I don't think this is the right Shibuya, Sora," he decided.

"Huh? What do you mean, Riku?" asked Sora.

"I can't detect Joshua anywhere and there's a weird presence in the...space between the city and the world's Heart," said Riku.

Heart?

Intrigued, Niijima-senpai glanced into the alley, face mostly shielded by her magazine.

"Space?" Sora seemed to focus on despite his friend's ability to sense the metaphysical.

"Yeah, it's like it's part of this world. I have no idea how to get there," Riku sounded confused and annoyed.

"Maybe Master Yen Sid knows," Sora suggested.

"Yeah, he most likely does," Riku huffed, "c'mon let's go. I think we got noticed."

"Wha?" Sora looked around before spotting something, "is that a cat?"

Startled, Akira looked down and saw Morgana peering into the alley. He didn't even notice the cat getting out of the bag. What is he doing? Now they're all going to get caught.

"I don't think it's a cat," Morgana's ears twitched in surprise, "but it doesn't feel unfriendly."

"You think the World noticed?"

"Probably," Riku summoned a weird looking sword that looked key shaped, "let's go before it brings backup. We'll deal with this World later."

There was a bright light and Morgana yelped out a "A portal!"

The light attracted attention and soon there was a crowd of people watching a ring of light disappearing.

The crowd started grumbling about unscheduled events before dissipating.

Akira looked back in the empty alley. There was no sign of anyone being there.

He looked back at Niijima-senpai. She also looked as confused as he felt.

Akira sighed before crouching down before Morgana and offered his school bag. The not cat obediently jumped in.

"What was that?" Akira quietly asked.

"I...don't know," Morgana reluctantly admitted.

The fact that Morgana didn't know was worrying. Akira made a note to ask Igor when he got the chance to shake off the Student Council President. Maybe he would know.

"Fascinating," said Igor before making a note to dim the Door to the Velvet Room so it wouldn't act as a beacon to the Keyblade wielders the next time they reappeared.

After all, it would be prudent to make sure no one interferes with his plans.

(Riku and Sora would then find another Shibuya that wasn't the Shibuya they were looking for. For one thing, there was a lot of people holding baby monsters and weird devices. The monsters' names all ended with 'mon.' Weird.)

Thanks to the latest trailers, I'm in a Kingdom Hearts mood and it got me to actually update.

This was part of an original idea where I just fling everything involving Shibuya at Akira and make him react. However, the only things I knew of that used Shibuya as a setting was The World Ends With You and technically season 4 of Digimon. I ended up dropping it and despaired as writer's block set in.

I'll be back the next time inspiration strikes.
