Chapter 4: I Had a Dream
"Oh, wow…" Fuuka looked around the Amagi Inn with surprise. Koromaru ran pass her barking happily. Ken walked up behind Fuuka and put his arm around her shoulder, "Looks like a cool enough place, right Fuuka-chan?"
Fuuka nodded happily as he motioned her to sit down on a nearby seat.
"So your telling me, that you guys DON'T have enough rooms for us separately?" Junpei asked as he leaned against the wall, Akihiko stepped in front of Junpei. "How's about I'll pay for the two guys to stay in my room with me?" he put a payment down on looking at the older lady.
Yukari walked up to Fuuka and Ken, "You two seem so much closer than before." Ken blushed slightly, "Just friends…just friend Yukari-chan." Both Fuuka and Yukari laughed a little.
"Are you sure Akihiko? I mean like, I can pay for me and Ken but the girls are gonna have to pay their own way…" Junpei scratched the back of his neck looking at Akihiko. "Yeah, I'm positive. I don't really mind you guys bunking in with me. Mitsuru will probably be putting a payment on for her and the other girls."
Akihiko turned around, "Hey, Mitsuru come here for a second…" Mitsuru then sat her stuff down beside Ken. "What is it Sanada?" she asked with her eyebrow raised.
"Just wondering if you are going to pay for Yukari and Fuuka to stay with you…"
"….."
Junpei nervously whistled as he whipped out his cell phone. Mitsuru's somewhat cold gaze traveled from Akihiko to Junpei. "W-what?" Junpei laughed nervously as he broke in sweat.
"Yes"
"Yes?"
"Yes, yes…."
Akihiko smiled, "Alright, see Junpei that wasn't too hard now was it?" he then darkened his smiled, "Or are you still scared since that night?"
"H-hell n-no man, I ain't scared of nothin'!" sharply Junpei turned around and walked over to where the others were sitting.
The front entrance door opened as the lobby area was filled with loud and unruliness.
"Please, please, please Kanji-kun!" Teddy pleaded to the bigger man.
"Hell, NO" Kanji pushed him away, "You're really startin' to be a pain in the ass Ted!"
Junpei and the others gave the group an awkward look. "Who the hell are these damn kids…?" Junpei mumbled under his breath earning an irritated look from Yukari.
"Oh you can't be talking Junpei…" Yukari elbowed Junpei in his side. "Ouch, what? They are annoying…"
"Well what Yukari-chan is trying to say is that they are no different from what you all use to act like" Ken explained to Junpei who closed his phone. "Man, I don't know what the fuck you guys are talkin' 'bout we ain't ever act like that…I mean I was loud but, not like that…"
Yosuke came in laughing at the two, "Gosh, you two can't go nowhere without turning something cool into a violent scene." Seta also walked in sighing along with Chie who was grumbling something under her breath.
"AKIHIKO-SAN!" before Akihiko could turn around he found himself being hugged on by the ex-teen pop start. "Err, heh hey Rise-chan…"
"Oooh, Akihiko-san's got a girl. This is pure gold…" Junpei snickered as he earned an awkward look from Koromaru who groaned, "What? It's true Koro just check 'em out."
"Hey, are these your friends you've been telling us about?" Rise asked jumping up and down excitedly. Akihiko sighed with a light smile on his face, "Yeah, these are them…with the acceptation of two…" he whispered the last part to himself.
'Well, this is certainly a lot of people…' Yukiko thought to herself. Everyone seemed to gaze at each other with a confused look as time seemed to be at a standstill for them all.
Seta stepped up first to introduce himself, "Hello…my name is Seta Souji…" Yosuke put his hand on Seta's shoulder, "Yeah, and I'm his bud Yosuke Hanamura. Also, if you're lookin' for a place to eat I know this sweet place called Junes!"
Chie punched him in the arm, "This is NOT a time to promote your store, Yosuke!" she then cleared her throat, "Ahem, umm sorry about that, my name is Chie Satonaka, pleased to meet you!"
"Hi, hi! My name's Risette Kujikawa!" Rise waved both her hands with a huge smile on her face.
Junpei and Ken both jumped up from their seat, "No, shittin' me…the real Risette Kujikawa…?" Junpei said as he stared at her figure. Ken stared at her with an astonished look, "Y-you…the ex-pop star…? You so…." Both of the boys began to turn as red as a tomato.
Yukari plopped down where Ken was seated at next to Fuuka, "This is going to be a long day…"
As Junpei and Ken was consumed with the beauty of Rise, Naoto stepped in from behind Kanji, "I'm Naoto Shirogane, you may have heard of the Shirogane detective line?"
Yukari's eyes widen as she looked at Naoto 'N-no way…the resemblance…!' Fuuka was also a little shocked at the resemblance, but was able to hide it as the rest introduced themselves.
"Name is Kanji Tatsumi…" Kanji's tone was filled with irritation and un-excitement. Teddy on the other hand was the most hyper of the group, "My name's Teddy." Quickly Teddy made his way over to Yukari and stooped down on his knee, grabbing her hand, "You seem to have overwhelming beauty…and just cannot be ignored."
"Uh…t-th-thanks? I guess…" Yukari blushed a little looking at him with small surprised look.
"Oh man Ted can you NOT hit on ever hot girl you seen man?" Yosuke said glancing at the blonde boy.
"Um, my name is Yukiko Amagi…daughter of the owners here…if you need anything at all I'll try to be free." Yukiko bowed respectfully.
"Nice to meet you all…My name is Yukari Takeba, and those two boys are Junpei Iori and Ken Amada…" she pointed at the two who were now flirting with Rise.
"And my name is Fuuka Yamagishi, pleased to meet every single one of you." Fuuka smiled as Koromaru came up wagging his tail happily barking, "And that's Koromaru."
"Oh cool lookin' dog!" Kanji stooped down to the dogs level and started petting him, "Whose a cute little doggie?" Koromaru barked happily licking his hand.
"Pretty smart lookin' dog…" Yosuke cracked his neck and scratched his head.
"So…now that we've met and all…" Teddy started out in a happy tone looking at Fuuka and Yukari, "How would you two lovely ladies, love to come have dinner with me?"
Time had passed by as the group had conversed with each other. After the ex-S.E.E.S's members received their rooms they parted ways with the ex-Investigation Team.
Mitsuru had sat her bags down in the closet. It was too quiet in the room, minus Koromaru's snoring that made Fuuka giggle slightly.
"You know that Teddy guy wasn't all that bad…" Yukari said as she was unpacking her stuff. Fuuka was in sitting down on the bed along with Koromaru who was quickly asleep.
"Yeah, they all seemed like a nice group of people, but…" Fuuka stopped mid-way in her sentence looking down at the floor.
"That Naoto person…looks a lot like him…" Yukari whispered and stopped unpacking to sit down next to Fuuka.
As the girls continued to talk to each other a knock came from their door. "Who is it?" Mitsuru asked looking at the unlocked door.
There was a long silence before the knock was once again heard. At this time Koromaru had one eye open and was glaring at the door. Mitsuru sighed and stopped what she was doing and headed over to the door, "Look, who the hell is it and what do you want?"
Once again a long silence occurred from behind the door, which only irritated both Mitsuru and Yukari.
"Junpei if that's you, I'm going to hurt you so badly!" Yukari muttered under her breath. Fuuka by this time had stood up, "Aegis…"
"What?"
"Aegis, it's her…Mitsuru-san I thought you said Aegis was somewhere else…?"
"She is and I was planning on picking her up today…"
A long silence came once again, before it was once again interrupted by a knock.
"This is getting ridiculous…" Mitsuru grabbed the knob of the door, slightly opening it to see who it was, "Aegis?"
Yukari quickly stood up, "What is Aegis already doing here?" she made her way to the door as Mitsuru full opened it.
Fuuka had smiled and walked up to Aegis embracing her. Yukari and Mitsuru were to stumped and shocked to hug and greet the robotic humanoid. Aegis returned Fuuka's embrace and smiled at them all.
"I…I don't get it what are you doing here Aegis?"
Aegis looked from side to side before entering the room. Mitsuru along with Yukari had stepped to the side and Fuuka entered closing the door behind them.
"Aegis, why aren't you at the place?" Mitsuru asked with a stern look on her face.
"Something…is…" Aegis started off as she looked out the window.
"What? What's bothering you all of a suddenly…?"
"I don't know…but I keep having dreams…of him…" Aegis sighed and held her hands close to her heart. Mitsuru walked over to Aegis and gently laid her hand on her shoulder, "…I don't believe that your dreams are the only thing that's bothering you…"
Aegis looked at Mitsuru with her eyes filled with worry, "He was giving warning…that something would occur…"
"Tch! Aegis that's impossible and a load of bullshit and you know it!" Yukari stomped her foot down irritably. Fuuka only stayed silent looking down at her feet.
Mitsuru turn to Yukari giving her a warning look, but then returned her attention to Aegis, "What did he tell you Aegis…?"
"Shadows"
"Shadows?"
Aegis nodded once, her words had confused the girls as they had their minds stuck on her single answer. Mitsuru sighed heavily 'What do she mean 'shadows'…?'
"Well…Aegis get some rest…" she motioned her over to the bed, but strictly had her mind set on what Aegis had told them.
**The boy's room**
Junpei whistled catch Akihiko and Ken's attention.
"What?"
"Dude, what do ya mean what….? I just fucking meet a teen pop star!" Junpei had started drooling with a goof smile on his face.
Ken just looked at Junpei with eyebrow raised, "I don't even wanna know what the hell you're thinking…" Akihiko smacked Junpei on the back of his head.
"OUCH!"
"Stop day dreaming sick thoughts idiot."
"Tch, senpai you're just jealous"
"Jealous of what?"
"Jealous cuz you don't got my looks and smooth moves"
Akihiko just started at Junpei as if he was an alien, "Junpei let me tell you I'm glad I don't have your looks…."
Junpei slammed his foot down heavily, "And just what the fuck is that supposed to mean?"
"You know damn well what I mean…" Akihiko's blank expression had formed into a smirk.
Ken decided to ignore the two, was stuck in deep though 'What does he mean…? Everything had seemed good so far, besides' the incident here in Inaba…' Ken gritted his teeth whispering, "It was just a dream…nothing more…but a dream…"
**In Yukiko's Room**
Chie stretched out yawning, "Geez, it's been a while since I've been in your room Yukiko!" Everyone had settled down inside her room and started conversing.
"So what do you guys think of the new peeps?" Yosuke started out, with his arm around Chie's shoulder.
Chie looked at him, "What's that supposed to mean?"
"You know what I mean Chie-chan…"
"Well, if ya ask me they don't seem all that bad…" Kanji said with a smirk on his face. Teddy nodded agreeing with Kanji, "Those girls totally dig me" Kanji turned to look at Teddy with a 'yeah aright' look.
"They are okay, but…" Naoto said with a grim look on her face. Rise had grabbed onto Naoto's arm, "Come on Naoto-kun you're getting bad vibes already?" she said in a whiny tone.
"I'm just keeping my guard up. I mean it's it awkward to you all that so many people are coming to Inaba?"
Everyone, except Seta and look at Naoto, Yukiko had looked down, "I'm sure everyone is just on vacation…"
"Let me guess so is all the famous names out there too huh? Kirijo? Uesugi? And lets not forget a few other people." Naoto said coldly looking at everyone, "I mean so many famous people on vacation at once, if you ask me the word vacation sounds like a load of bullshit."
"Guys…" Seta said loud enough to catch everyone's attention.
"What are you doin' over there partner?" Yosuke asked with a goofy grin on his face. He grin was then shot down when Seta looked at him with a blank expression on his face, "Come on bro…what's going on with you? We had just finally got Naoto to talk and now you're gettin' all broody."
"Something…" Seta's eyes seemed to have no life what so ever in them, "…is wrong…"
Chie and Yukiko raise their eyebrows and glanced at each other. Naoto looked at Seta with a slightly concerned look, "Like…?"
"Dreams"
"Sensei you dirty dog you!" everyone had then turned their eyes to Teddy who was wagging his finger, "You're so naughty! Having dirty dreams about Yosuke now are we?" Silence had then took over as Seta grew as red as a tomato along with Yosuke who had bashed Teddy over the head.
"SO not funny Ted!"
Yukiko had busted out laughing while Chie twitched, "That's sick Teddy…that really is…" Kanji was also laughing along with Yukiko, "So glad that joke wasn't directed towards me hahaha! Ted got ya good Yosuke-senpai."
"Tch, shut up Kanji…"
The only two who seemed to keep stern expression's was Naoto and Seta. "Now really isn't the time to be joking Teddy." Naoto said irritably, and then turned her attention to Seta who was still red in the face.
"NO the dream had nothing to do with Yosuke…but the person in my dream did have headphones…" sighing Seta turned his head back towards the window, "The place I was at…it was darkish…but he had lite the room. His expression…seemed so sad…and his words so surreal…"
The room had once again grown silent as everyone looked at Seta, who was clearly worried and depressed about something.
