Me: Okay people already I'll be making a new chapter!
Soji: But you haven't even edited the chapter you said you would.
Me: Does that really matter so much?
Yosuke: Well either way Eivexst doesn't own any of the Persona series.
Yukiko's pov: I sat down just outside one certain room and lightly bowed my head. "Nazo-San, I'm coming in." I informed him and I opened the door putting some towels into the room before I looked over and saw he was still sound asleep, it wasn't that far into the day, in fact, the sun wasn't even up yet I walked over and noticed only then that he had fallen asleep on the window sill. [Nazo…]
I took one of the blankets up off of his futon and gently set it on him, as I started to leave I felt a small tug and looked to see that he had gripped my sleeve in his sleep as he had a still blank expression and he spoke in his sleep. "Sis…."
I lightly smiled before gently making his fingers let go as I sat down next to him and I noted that he seemed to relax farther in his sleep as I did so. "I'll be right here Nazo-kun." I whispered softly.
A few minutes later I opened my eyes tiredly. [Did I fall asleep?] I wondered to myself and then looked down to see that the blanket I had put on Nazo was on me now, and he wasn't in the room, then there were voices coming from outside the door before it opened and he walked in along with another one of the people who work here, a tray of food in his hands as he looked over at me and smiled. "Hey Yukiko-chan, you seemed really worn out so I decided to let you sleep, here, it's breakfast." He informed me as he lightly set some of the food in front of me, two eggs over easy, a small bowel of apple slices and a cup of milk that had a small straw in it.
I nodded and looked up at him. "Thank you Nazo-kun." I stated as he made a small grin as if to say I was welcome before he picked up one of the towels I had left before heading off to get cleaned up as I silently ate what he had prepared for me, it wasn't good, but it wasn't that bad either.
The woman he walked in with smiled at me. "He's a very nice boy, he was worried that you would catch a cold sleeping in front of a open window like that so he gave you that blanket." She explained, I smiled a little after I finished eating as I stood up and set his blanket properly on the futon. "You are lucky Yukiko-san." She told me before walking out of the room.
I waited patiently lost in my own thoughts, I wasn't thinking just of the investigation and the events that have happened recently, but I was also thinking about what would happen to Nazo-kun after everything was over and then I heard the door slide open and turned around before blushing red as I looked away, Nazo walked in from the bath room in here with just a towel before he looked up at me blushed red and quickly went back in. "S-SORRY!" He shouted at the same time that I had.
"I-It's okay Yukiko-chan, j-just pass me a kimono please, there should be one next to the futon!" He told me and I quickly did so setting it next to the door as he opened it and took it in with his arm being all that came out as he then shut the door and a few seconds later he came out wearing it properly, his face still somewhat red. "A-again, I'm sorry." He told me.
I shook my head as I looked to the side. "N-no it's alright, you didn't know I would still be here, I shouldn't have just stood around." I stated truthfully as he smiled at me and lightly ruffled my hair, the air quickly clearing up to be more relaxed rather than the flustered one it was from earlier before we both gave a small laugh.
"At any rate, would you care to show me around Inaba?" He asked me as he lightly held his hand out to me after slipping some pants on under his kimono and I nodded before lightly placing my finger tips on his hand as he helped me step down from a slightly raised spot, it wasn't needed, but I liked the sentiment.
A while later we were walking along to the area near Junes and Nazo had his hands folded into his sleeves having them lightly crossed as we walked, I couldn't help but notice some people were staring at him, this time he had an eye patch over his left eye, I guess he couldn't see out of it unless he has his glasses. "So Nazo-kun…. Why do you always keep your left eye shut when you're not wearing your glasses?" I asked him out of curiosity, even though it might have been a little rude.
He looked at me and sighed a little. "My left eye isn't all that good I'm afraid, see that sign way over there, with my right eye, I can see that it's for a bus stop, yet with my left, even though we're getting closer and closer, it would still be blurry…." He then lightly gripped my hand bringing it up near his face with a blank expression. "Even you being this close would be blurry."
He let go of my hand right after that before we continued to walk along, I don't know why, but right now he reminds of a character from one of those anime's that Yosuke watches. "I'm sorry Senpai."
I had a slightly sad look before I felt a hand on my head lightly ruffle my hair. "It's fine Yukiko-chan." I looked up at Nazo and I felt relief to see that he was smiling, "Besides, it would be wise to wear a happy face so as not to worry those who care." He told me as he kept moving forward, was he hinting towards something?
Soji's POV: I walked along the streets, I think I recall seeing something lying around near here, it was some kind of orb like shape, after walking around for a bit I looked down and I found it again picking it up. "A piece of Amber?" I questioned looking at it, now that I thought about it, that talisman that Nazo was wearing had some gems on it, maybe this was one of the gems? "I should probably hand this to him when I find him." I thought outloud before putting it into my pocket and started to head towards Junes.
After a while I heard a familiar laugh before I looked over at one of the tables, Nazo and Yukiko were talking to one another, why was Nazo wearing a kimono? "Yeah, and after that he made it so that Kurow would have a little smoke bomb in his locker, it was so unique that I wouldn't have thought of it!" Nazo stated a little happily, it seemed like he was talking about a couple people.
"What are you talking about?" I asked and they both looked at me, Yukiko was wearing those funny looking glasses that Teddy had made.
"Oh, Nazo-kun was telling me about a story he had read once." Yukiko explained with a very small smile, it seemed she heard a small bit of it that was pretty funny that I might have missed. "But you're right, I probably couldn't think of that type of thing either, though, a smoke bomb seems pretty strange."
"Yeah I admit that, but at any rate, since we've finished our food, let's get going, Kohai, would you like to join us?" He asked and I gave a small nod before walking along with the two of them, after a hour or so of walking they went and got onto a bus that had come by, now that I thought of it, where were we going? Only Nazo seemed to know.
"Don't you wonder where we're going senpai?" Yukiko asked me and I nodded to her showing that I was wondering that as well.
"Don't you two worry; we're going to a place I heard has a lovely view." He promised as he lightly pulled on a tab telling the driver to stop the bus as we got off then and there, for some odd reason that bus driver felt somewhat off. "Well, what do you two think?" Nazo asked and I looked over to see that the bus had taken us to a high cliff where we could see almost all of Inaba and a wide expanse of the horizon, shockingly poetic.
"Wow!" Yukiko seemed to really like it. "How did you find this spot, it's right outside Inaba?!"
I looked over at Nazo who's left eye was covered by an eye patch making it hard for me to see how he was looking, but his mouth was in a thin line. "I had a place, just like this back at home…." He told us simply, not giving an answer to Yukiko's question, somehow, he felt a little sad as he reached his hands up and gripped the talisman he was wearing. "You know…. It's funny the color that travels the farthest is red, and that color represents many things, love, rage, senserity, warmth…. All of these things represent that color…."
It seemed like he was in a contemplative mood now. "Nazo…" I looked at Yukiko to see she had a worried expression as well. "Hey, we should head on back, Nanako would like to see you in a kimono too you know." I told him to try and get him to cheer up a little, but it didn't seem to work as he just simply nodded and started to walk over to the bus stop.
"Soji-senpai, I'm worried about Nazo-kun, he seems like he's getting sadder lately, even though he's smiling." She told me and I nodded, I know how that feels, I've seen that face before.
After we got back down to town it was roughly noon and Nazo was staring at the TV in Junes, it was pretty empty right now and he looked at me. "Follow me please, I have a request." He stated before he walked into the TV with almost no hesitation.
My (Nazo's) POV: I stood there in the small square area that Teddy was usually at, according to the others, this was pretty much a den of sorts for him, but there was that odd fog around here, I gave a sharp whistle and I saw Teddy wake up from behind a group of TV's. "Teddy, do you have my glasses with you?" I asked him and He gave a thumbs up.
"Yeah, they were in beary good condition so it was easy to fix them." He stated and I refrained from face palming at the pun he made as I stood up straight and reached around untying the eye patch as it fell down while I kept my eyes shut and I pused on my glasses, they felt different somehow, now that I looked, the fog that was around the first time I was here, it wasn't even there any more, earlier it was like a thin mist.
"Nazo!" I turned around to look at Soji, he seemed slightly worried as I turned all the way to show I wasn't wearing the eye patch any more. "Why did you want me to follow you?"
I gave a small smirk as that blue aura from earlier came around me and my card appeared as Teddy quickly ran to a far corner. "I need to see something from you, what that force is that draws them to you, Persona!" I back handed the card as a strong gale whipped up from the force of my persona being summoned as Soji took a step back from the intensity of the pressure it gave off. "Give me a reason to see you as a leader Kohai…. Show me your strength." I stated as only in the corner of my vision did I notice all of the others run in while a wall rose up from my will blocking them from coming forward.
Me: Sorry for leaving it at such a moment.
Soji: This just got complicated.
Yosuke: You can say that again way to jump the gun man.
Me: Hey, nothing wrong with a challenge from time to time, any way leave a review to let me know what you thought.
