Disclaimer: I do not own Atlus, but I own a copy of Persona 4! Unfortunately, the data became corrupted, so I'm not going to play the game anymore.
Please check out my P4 tribute slideshow videos on Youtube as well!! My name there is 'Hikasu3445'.
Warning: Yuri, shoujo ai, girl X girl. Starts off as Naoto X Souji, but eventually becomes Naoto X Rise.
A/N: God, I just love these two together so much. I don't even know why. I like it more than most other yuri pairings I support...it's weird.
I'M REALLY, REALLY SORRY THAT THE LAST CHAPTER WASN'T GOOD!! I PROMISE I'LL DO BETTER!!! REALLY, I PROMISE!!!!
Alright, next yuri thing I write for Persona 4 will NOT be Naoto X Rise. Most likely Chie X Yukiko, but there is a possibility of other pairings...or maybe some het...who knows?
I do have an idea for another multi-chapter fic, and it concerns Adachi, Mitsuo and Namatame...AFTER the events of Persona 4! Can you say 'jailbreak'?
'Dammit, Rise-chan, where did you go?' Naoto wondered to herself as she wandered through the immense Junes mall.
She wanted to apologize, and maybe sort out these feelings she was beginning to have for the hyperactive redhead.
'Ever since this whole girls' night out thing started...I've been feeling so strange around Rise-chan," Naoto thought as she ran, 'I mean, it was nice and all of her to try and cheer me up, but...was that her only reason? Ugh...I just don't seem to understand anything anymore. Why did I enjoy kissing her so much? Geez...that was so...so out of character of me...I mean, I'm not usually one to do something like THAT for my own personal reasons. God, what is Rise doing to me?! And...why do I feel like I'm not even INTERESTED in ever seeing Souji's ugly mug again? I need to find Rise and sort everything out...'
For a moment, Naoto wanted to use her gun to try and clear out the entire mall to make the search go smoother, but she knew doing something like that would be not only disturbing the peace, but be abusing her rights as a police detective. Of course, hadn't she done that already back at the shooting range?
'Gah...that's not important right now! I just need to find Rise! Hopefully, she didn't leave the building...'
Naoto ran around for a quite a while until she finally found Rise, who was sitting by herself alongside the large fountain within the very middle section of the mall. Her eyes were red from recent tearing, and she seemed to be staring down at the floor with a disgruntled expression spread out on her face.
Slowly pacing her stride, Naoto began to make her way towards the redhead, who immediately rose her head. Her eyes fell in line with Naoto's, and they stared at one another for a few minutes, as if time itself had stopped.
"Rise-chan..." Naoto breathed.
"Naoto-kun," Rise muttered in response, turning her gaze away.
Sighing, Naoto sat down next to Rise, who continued to look in the opposite direction. "Rise-chan, listen...I'm...I'm really sorry about kissing you like that...I...I wasn't thinking straight...I even went and ruined our 'girls' night out' too...I'm...I'm so sorry..." Naoto apologized, feeling more and more displeased with her earlier actions with every word.
Suddenly, Rise turned to look at her. "Naoto-kun...you didn't ruin anything...in fact, you made things play out alot faster than I hoped, to tell the truth..."
Naoto blinked a few times, completely and utterly lost. "...Say what now?"
Rise flushed bright pink, and she tapped her two index fingers together nervously. "You...you see...there was an 'ulterior motive' for me taking you out to try and cheer you up over Souji's absence..."
"A...a ulterior motive?"
"I...I wanted to win you over...so you could be my girlfriend..."
Naoto certainly hadn't expected this. For a moment, she felt enraged that Rise would attempt to play with her emotions like that, but then she felt both sympathy and pity for the poor girl.
"Is this...is this true, Rise-chan?" Naoto asked, "Are you saying that you...you...you..."
Rise nodded. "Yes...I'm very...very ATTRACTED to you, Naoto-kun..."
Naoto felt the heat rise in her cheeks, and she sheepishly rubbed the back of her head. "Gee...this is...awkward..." she suddenly realized something, "WAIT, IF YOU LIKE ME, THEN WHY DID YOU GET SO UPSET WHEN I KISSED YOU BACK AT THE FOOD-COURT?! ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU WANTED?!!"
"Well, it wasn't a real kiss," Rise explained, "I wanted our first kiss to be passionate and loving, to prove the unbreakable connection we have, but instead...you had to go and do it just to get all your fangirls to leave you alone. I was hurt, even though I do admit I might have overreacted a bit much..."
Naoto nodded in agreement.
"Anyway, thank you for apologizing, Naoto-kun..." Rise said, and then she blushed, "but...now what do we do?"
Naoto thought for a moment, and then a smirk formed on her lips. Leaning closely, Naoto whispered, "How about...I give you that passionate kiss you were hoping for?"
"W-What about Souji-kun...?" Rise asked.
Naoto glanced at her cellphone; there was an incoming call from Souji Seta. Shaking her head, she tossed her phone over her shoulder, and it landed right into the fountain.
"Screw that bastard...he hooks up with me only to leave a week later, hardly ever returns my calls, and his hands were always so cold...besides, this little 'girls' night out' of ours has helped me realize just how adorable and wonderful you really are, my sweet little Risette...I actually did enjoy that kiss of ours, even if it was fake, just so you know..." Naoto purred, cupping Rise's chin in her hand.
"I'm really happy, Naoto-kun, but...you just ruined your cellphone," Rise pointed out.
"Meh...I can buy another one, which I can't say the same for concerning you..." Naoto replied curtly before pulling the pigtailed girl into a powerful kiss.
"I love you, Naoto-kun..."
"...I love you too, Rise-chan..."
To the crowd surrounding them, it looked like a very handsome young man making amends with his girlfriend; to Yosuke Hanamura and Kanji Tatsumi, who happened to be in the crowd, it looked like all of their female friends were now lesbians.
Sighing, Yosuke threw his hands behind his head and exclaimed, "GODDAMMIT, WHY MUST MY LIFE BE LIKE THIS?!!"
"What's the problem? I mean, there's lots of girls in Inaba..." Kanji replied, shrugging.
"Yeah, but," Yosuke complained, "We'll actually have to get to KNOW them first, instead of having been able to hook up with the girls we've not only hung around with for a whole year, but already know alot about. It's so troublesome, finding love..."
"Well, if it makes you feel any better, I think you're pretty cute, Yosuke..." Kanji said with a straight face.
Yosuke flashed an angry glare at the silver-haired boy, but soon asked, "...You really think so?"
Kanji nodded.
Yosuke was starting to blush. "Uh...I...I'm flattered, really..."
Kanji looked around with a bored expression, and tapped his foot a few times. "So...you wanna make out, then?"
"HELL NO!!!"
