(Authors Notes: this is about Minato meeting someone… who?)
MAPOV
I picked the most deserted area and looked to see if anyone was there.
When the coast was clear, I took off my clothes and my new bracelet and bathed in the cold early morning waters.
"Oooo! Brrrr!" I shivered as I took the soap and rubbed my sweaty, filthy and battered body with it.
I wouldn't get into details on how I took the bath right now, but it was refreshing and cool.
Then, I wrapped Shinjiro's old pea coat and shivered as I tried to start a fire.
As I tried to do a flint and rock move, I got so tired, I gave up.
"Sir, hello! No shower in your place?" a voice asked.
"Aw, p-p-piss o-off! I'm f-f-freezing my n-nuts out h-h-here…" I shivered.
A young man with hair similar to the thuggish boy with the scar (Read Persona productions presents: Romeo+Juliet) named Kanji except he had no scar and wore a bell boy hat while wearing all blue.
"Excuse me sir… I'm here on a "Quest."" He said.
"Hey, you deaf bell boy? I told you to piss off! The h-hotel is d-downtown at the Shirukawa Boulevard!" I said angrily.
Although, I don't mean to be that rude, but if you've been dead for over four years, your friends gone and you're left with nothing and freezing your tits of in a semi-filthy industrial river and horribly bruised, bumped and hurt, you'd be angry too.
Plus, I was naked, so….
"Haha… No, I'm here to hand you a towel, a gift from a special person." He said, handing me a towel.
"Margaret?" I said.
"Nope… someone else." He said curtly.
"And on a side note, the Shirakawa Boulevard is now the Iwatodai tourism district…" he added.
I took it and wiped my body with it.
"And here, too…" he said as he pulled out a card.
"Sorry boy, I don't have any money on me…" I lied as he said something that astonished me.
High Pixie! He said, smashing the card.
A High Pixie healed me.
"H-hey now… how'd you do that?" I said in a stupefied way.
"That's a mystery…" he said.
Then, he slowly disappeared in the wind.
Farewell! The wind sang.
"Weird…." I said.
I wore a black shirt I found in Junpei's room and wore Akihiko's pants and topped it with Shinjiro's coat.
Then I reflected a bit.
Then I decided to get a job somewhere.
I rode on the monorail and paid the fare.
I then accidentally stepped on some lady's foot.
"Ow! What the hell was that?" she said angrily.
"Watch where you're going, you creep!" she yelled again.
I looked at her for a while.
She looked familiar….
Too familiar…

I woke up early in the morning and decided to go eat some food.
On the way, I met with Junpei along the way, near the high way.
He still looked the same, except that he wore a suit and a news paper boy hat replaced his baseball hat.
"Hey Yuka-tan! Long time no see, eh?" he said.
"Yeah… you look sharp eh Mr. Junpei Iori, C.E.O. and president of Iori Realty?" I asked.
"Oh, come now… It was old Mr. Tanaka who helped me by letting me be the partner of Tanaka's Amazing Corp." he said humbly.
"Huh… you've changed eh, Mr. Modesty?" I asked jokingly.
"I guess… oh and did you hear about the giant crack in the Naganaki shrine?" he asked excitedly.
"Oh yeah, the one that split the giant tree?" I said.
That tree IS really old…
"And supposedly, a man stepped out of the tree and-" he began.
"Aw c'mon Junpei! That's a load of baloney!" I objected at the absurd idea.
"If you say so… and hey, did you visit the shrine yesterday for Minato's anniversary?" He asked sadly.
Minato…
"Yeah… I'm a bit late, so I'll see you at March 14!" I said.
"Sure… what goes on that day?" he asked.
Sigh… typical Junpei…
"Um…Hellllo? White day! There's a party at my place. I've invited the others as well…" I said.
"Oh… okay… see ya Yuka-tan!" he said as he boarded his bicycle.
As I walked in near the 2nd district, a boy with a blue hat stooped me.
"Ma'am… I am Theodore and I am selling these pure velvet towels, buy four and you get one for free. All proceeds will go to blue haired orphans whose parents died in a car accident about 14 years ago." He said bluntly.
Huh… sounds like Minato… these towels aren't bad either… I mused.
"I'll take four!" I said excitedly.
"Here… that'll be 3200 yen." He said.
After I paid the amount, he gave me only four.
"Hey! This is only four!"I yelled but the boy named Theodore ran off, towards north.
"It's a gift for your…." He said something unintelligible.
That got me in a foul mood.
As I walked slowly towards the Iwatodai Station, someone had stepped on my foot.
My current anger, combined with stress and resentment and longing for Minato, exploded.
"Ow! What the hell was that?" I screamed angrily.
He looked surprised.
"Watch where you're going, you creep!" I yelled at him, smacking my purse at his head.
"Ma'am, please calm down…" he said.
He did not even flinch.
"I'm sorry, Ma'am… I didn't mean to step on your foot… it's just that I'm a bit addled… my girlfriend got lost…" he said sadly.
I felt a little guilty for snapping at him.
"I…I'm sorry… I'm also a bit mad today…"
"That's alright ma'am…" he said.
He looked familiar…
Really familiar…
sorry if that was short...
