--------------------------------Chapter 4: The Special Guests---------------------------------------

--------------------------------December 24th – Christmas eve--------------------------------------


At night, in Souji's room….


Souji:………………………………………………..

Rise: (hugging Souji's hand) I'm so glad that you and I are finally alone.

Yosuke: I don't think you and him and ALL of us are considered to be alone.


The usual group is gathered in Souji's room. They were all quite cramped since his room wasn't that big.


Rise: I was trying my best to imagine that you guys weren't here.

Yosuke: But sadly, we are. Dude, you just had to pick ONE girl. It was a very easy , I don't know why you had to choose ALL of us.

Kanji: Yeah, senpai. Doesn't it kind of ruin the romantic evening of Christmas eve?

Souji:………….It was not easy picking one of you since you were all there.

Naoto:………………….

Chie:……………………..

Yukiko:………………….

Rise: So, does that mean if only one of us were there at that time you would have picked that one?

Yosuke: I don't think that was what he meant.

Teddie: Anyways, since we're all here. Let's play……….THE KING'S GAME!!!!!!!!!

Chie: Urgh…..You still remember that game?

Teddie: Of course!! Let's begin. I am the king.

Kanji: WE'RE NOT PLAYING THAT GAME!!!

Yosuke: (whispering to Souji) You could have at least picked ONE girl. Now, because of you, I can't spend a romantic Christmas eve with Yukiko……or Rise……or Naoto….

Kanji: Eh….Senpai, everyone can hear you.

Chie: Why wasn't I mentioned?

Yosuke: Er….Well…..You know…because….I thought you might be busy orsomething….hehe….

Chie: I'll show you BUSY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yosuke: Ahhh….Not AGAIN!!!!...........OUCH!!

Kanji: Hmmmm…Let's leave them be.

Yukiko: So, you guys are coming to my inn tomorrow right?

Naoto: Of course. Maybe my meeting with the vice-chief will insure my ties with the police.

Yukiko: Ok. I got a work schedule made.


Yukiko laid down the work schedule. It said that Yukiko will be working at the reception desk. Chie and Rise will be cleaning the lobby. Kanji, Yosuke and Teddie will be the bellboys. Souji and Naoto will be cleaning the small restaurant in the lobby.


Kanji: So, I carry bags?

Teddie: No…WE carry bags.

Kanji:…………………

Rise: How come I'm not paired up with senpai?

Yukiko: Ermm….Well….Because you won't work if you had Souji-kun with you.

Naoto: Oh…....So…..I will work with senpai…..(blush)

Souji:…………………….

Chie: How many special guests are there?

Yukiko: Erm…We got a call yesterday from them…Let's see…..One is a male who is the vice-chief. The other one is a female who is the CEO. Then there are……3 more male and 3 more female….oh yeah, and a dog.

Yosuke: A dog?

Yukiko: Yes, it belongs to one of the boys

Kanji: Ohhh. So, what kind of dog is it?

Yukiko: I don't know.

Yosuke: Hey, the time is going to reach 12 soon.


The time is 30 seconds to 12 midnight.


Kanji: So…......This has been an…........interesting Christmas eve. Definitely one to remember.

Yosuke: OK. In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1……MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Everyone: MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!


Nanako and Dojima walks in.


Nanako: Merry Christmas!!!

Dojima: Merry Christmas……Whoa…. I didn't know there were so many of you coming. I just got home.

Yosuke: Haha…Merry Christmas.


Rise leaned up against Souji and gave him a kiss on his cheek.


Souji:!!!!.............................

Rise: Merry Christmas senpai.

Yosuke: Whoa, whoa, whoa. How come I don't get a kiss?

The other girls:………………


All the other 4 girls leaned up and kissed Souji on the cheek as well.


Souji:!!!!........................

The girls: Merry Christmas.

Rise: Hey!!! Get your own senpai.

The guys: Hey, how about us?

Chie: I don't know what you're talking about.

Teddie: THAT'S NOT FAIR!!!!!!! (cries)

Kanji: I guess senpai really is 'wanted'.


Everyone had a wonderful Christmas eve together.

The next day, after lunch, at the Amagi Inn.


Yukiko: Ok, the guests will be arriving in half an hour. You guys will have to work hard because I gave some of the staff a vacation. (her tone is more serious than before)

Yosuke: Oh, I get it. Give them a break and use free labor.

Yukiko: Anyway, I want Rise and Chie to start cleaning up the lobby. Chie can do the sweeping and Rise can do the wiping. Yosuke, you help too.

Rise and Chie: Right!!

Yosuke: Wait. Why me?

Yukiko: It's only temporary.

Yosuke: Fine.

Yukiko: Teddie, you can…um….wait outside to greet the guests.

Teddie: OK!!!

Yukiko: Souji, I want you polishing the furniture in the restaurant. Naoto, I want you sweeping the floor of the restaurant. Kanji, you can help them.

Kanji, Naoto and Souji: Right!!

Yukiko: (softer tone) And of course, I'll be at the reception desk.


Time flew by and the guests arrived.


Teddie: Welcome, and merry Christmas!!!!....Oh, hello beautiful.

Yukiko: KANJI!!! Get Teddie out of there!!

Kanji: Roger!

Teddie: So, how was the tr…..HEY!!!! KANJI!! LET GO!!!

Guests:……………………..


The guests walked in. There were a total of 9 of them. One of them was a young looking male with silverish white hair and a well built body. He was wearing a red sleeveless jacket over a white uniform and black jeans. He seems to be the vice-chief. Another one, is a young red haired woman with a rather beautiful body. She wore a red shirt with a red blouse to match. She seems to be the CEO.

There were three other boys. One of them was sporting a goatee. He wore a simple blue T-shirt with black jeans. He was also wearing a striped cap. Another one, was a brunette. He looked like the youngest of the group and certainly the shortest. He was wearing a plain brown shirt and a black ¾ pants. The final boy looked mysterious. He had blue hair covering an eye. He has a rather thin body and was wearing a blue jacket over a black shirt and blue jeans.

Then, there were three other girls. One of them was another brunette. She wore a white sleeveless shirt and a white skirt, much like a tennis player. Another one, had a dark green coloured hair. She was rather short. She wore a brown sweater and a brown skirt. The final one, was a blonde……or rather, has yellow hair. (blonde is a lighter yellow). She wore a black one-piece.

And then, there was………………………..the dog. A white dog. Not of any known species. But……....….it's really cute. And it seems…...…..to be wearing….....a white sweater!?


Yukiko: Welcome, and merry Christmas.

Everyone: Merry Christmas.

Yukiko: Kanji…..Yosuke….Teddie. Bags, NOW!!!

Akihiko: I didn't have lunch. So, I don't mind.

Mitsuru: Sure.


The guests sat down at the small restaurant in the lobby.


Naoto: (looking at Akihiko)…………………Um, hello.

Akihiko: (pointing to his head) Your hat….It's a detective's hat right? You must be the 'Detective Prince'. Honestly, I didn't think you would be this young. You must have it hard huh?

Naoto: Excuse me?

Akihiko: The police forces here. They must be giving you a hard time since you're a girl. I've read reports on you. You are very talented.

Naoto (with an astonished look): -blush- Erm….Thank you.

Junpei: So, how long have you been a detective?

Yukari: (smacks Junpei again) Haha……Pretend you didn't here that. It's one of his useless pickup lines.

Naoto: Anyway, this is Souji. He's my senpai.

Akihiko: Hel………..?


Souji and Minato are starring at each other.


Junpei: Erm…….Dudes?

Koromaru: WOOF!!!!

Souji: Huh? Oh, hello.

Akihiko: Hi.

Junpei: Anyway, can I eat?

Waitress: Coming!!!

Naoto: We'll be leaving now.

Minato: Wait. Hi (giving his hand up to shake Souji's hand)

Souji: Eh…Hi.


Immediately, when their hands met, Souji startled back in pain.


Naoto: Souji? What's wrong? Come, let's sit down somewhere.

Waitress: Hello. What would you like to eat?

Junpei: Hmm…..How about the……..Steak croquette?

Waitress: Ok.

Junpei: Minato, what do you want to ea………


Minato was gone.


Junpei: Hmmm? Must have taken a walk or something. OR MAYBE HE'S AT THE HOTSPRINGS!?

Akihiko: Give it a rest.


Out in the lobby…..Kanji and the rest just came down.


Kanji: Man…….That was heavy.

Yukiko: Well, at least you did your job.

Yosuke: -pant- -pant-

Rise: Hey!

Chie: The lobby is all clean.

Yukiko: Good. Now, where's Naoto and Souji?

Naoto: GUYS!!! Come over here now!


Everyone rushed to one of the sofas in the lobby. Souji was lying there, sweating and in pain.


Naoto: I don't know what happened.

Yukiko: Whatever it is, we got to help him. I'll call a doctor.

Chie and Yosuke: We'll get him blankets.

Kanji and Teddie: We'll get some pillows.

Naoto: I'll call his uncle.

Rise: And I'll keep senpai company while you guys do that.

Souji: Actually……….I would like a cup of water. Please?

Rise: Sure, senpai.


Everyone left…….................. And…….............................Minato approached Souji.


Souji:………………

Minato: -whispers in Souji's ear- Per…..….............…So………...................…Na…………….......................

Souji: (eyes widened with shock) How did…..?


Souji turned around but he was gone…….and sitting back in the restaurant.


The chapter ends here. Yeah, I know involving the p3 cast is a little weird but you'll know why later.

And if you want to know how Minato got freed, tune in to my new story that will be posted maybe by next month or sooner.

Hope you like it!!!

And sorry about the Christmas eve part. I didn't want any pairings………………..…….yet…………………………….
