Hello again! Here's Chapter 3 for you all who likes it!

I don't own the Persona Series]

Chapter 3

Minako Appears

School

Minato's Pov

It was school time and I could barely stay awake due to the three hours inspection from everyone last night, no early in the morning should I say. Everybody checked out my room then everywhere in the dorm. I shouldn't have drunk that wine. Urrrg, I'll just sleep in class. By the way what day was it today? Oh yeah its Wednesday . . . It's Wednesday! Shit I forgot about meeting that little girl a week ago! Urrrg, today's not my day. I sighed. I'll just buy some takoyaki for her to show my apologies.

Classroom

I fell asleep in class.

After School

I went up to Kaz, he told me to call him that, and told him I wouldn't be able to go to practice today because of business issues. He understood and told me he'll talk to the couch about it but I saw he was disappointed. Guess he wanted to challenge me again.

Outside Building

I walked out and saw Junpei and Akihiko-sempai with a group of girls surrounding him. Surrounding Akihiko-sempai not Junpei. I feel kind of feel sorry for him . . . kind of.

I went up to Junpei and chatted. Later Sempai came up to us and told us to follow him to the mall leaving the annoying and whining girls behind.

Paulownai Mall

We went enter the police station and saw a cop with a scary face. Akihiko chatted with him then turned his attention to us. "You can buy your weapons here if you need new ones. Anything related is also sold here." He told us. We chatted with the cop and then to Akhiko again. He gave us some money and went off.

Junpei was whining about how low the payment was then walked out of the station with a scowl. I bid farewell to the cop and went to Strip Mall to go buy the Takoyaki.

Shrine

After I went and bought some Takoyaki I went to the Shrine to see if the girl was there. I saw her by the jungle gyms looking at her shoes. Guess she was waiting for me for a week. I went up to her and said, "Yo." She looked up and became furious.

"Where were you?! I've been waiting for a week Big Brother!" She yelled.

I sweatdropped and put the box of Takoyaki on her head. "Gomen. I had something to do and forgot. I bought you some Takoyaki to make it up."

She took the box off of her head and smiled. "You're forgiven!" She went off and sat at a bench under a shade. I followed her and sat down right next to her.

"I never caught your name kid." I said to her.

"It's Maiko! What's yours?" She said with a mouthful of Takoyaki.

"Arisato Minato. Call me Minato-nii if you want." I said with a kind smile.

"Minato-nii, let's play on the playground today after I'm done eating!"

I nodded.

We spent time playing around and I learned some new stuff about her. She's in grade school, obviously, she's seven, her parents are fighting and she's sad about it, and she loves Takoyaki since her dad byes her a lot.

After playing I found out it was getting dark. "Maiko."

She turned to me. "Hai Minato-nii?"

"We should be heading home. It's getting dark."

"I don't want to. Mom and Dad are still fighting and I hate it. They don't even notice if I'm home or not."

"How about I come and visit you again next Thursday if you go back home?"

"Really Minato-nii?!"

"Hai."

"Kay than I'll go home but you have to promise!" She sprinted off waving back at me. "Bye-bye!"

I waved back at her.

Thou art I as I am Thou

Thou has reached Level one for The Hangman Arcana

I blinked and let out a sigh of frustration.

Dorm

I arrived back at the dorm and signed in. Nobody was back at the moment so I went to my room. I went inside my room and got a white t-shirt, blue slacks, and white socks, a towel and went back down stairs to take a shower. They really need to put the showers on each floor with bedrooms.

I took a shower than putted on my clothes. After putting the towel around my shoulders, so my shirt won't get wet, I went to the mirror to pin my bangs up. I looked at my reflection and saw a healthy blue hair teen. Even though the reflection was me, I felt like it wasn't me at the same time. It felt like Misato who was staring at me.

"Minato-nii." I heard his voice.

"Great, now I'm even hearing him as well." I gave out a sigh.

"What?"

"I feel guilty."

"Umm, Minato-nii?"

"I wonder what I should get for dinner today."

"MINATO-NII!" I blinked. Was that actually Misato's voice? I turned to my reflection and saw myself with golden eyes, white hair and panting. Oh, it really was Misato. Oops.

"M-misato-chan?" I questioned even though I knew the answer.

He stopped panting and fixed himself up. "Geez Minato-nii, I come all the way out here and all you do is ignore me." He said with a pout.

"Oh, Gomen Misato-chan. What are you doing u-um in the mirror?"

"Hmph! I can't leave the velvet room because, Igor phrased, I'm grounded for breaking Lizzy's favorite vase."

I sweatdropped. Then I smirked. "Aww~ still getting grounded at the age of seventeen, Misa-chan~ I guess you really haven't grown up."

"W-w-what?!" He blushed. It was fun teasing him.

"Just kidding." I chuckled. "So what is your business with me?"

"Oh right. I'm here to tell you the other location of the Velvet Room." I nodded. "It's in the ally way in Paulownia Mall."

I nodded again. "Thank you." I smiled at my brother.

"No prob! Well I'll see you later. I have to be Lizzy's tool now."

I shuddered. "Ja ne."

"Ja ne Mina-nii~" He disappeared only leaving my reflection with me . . . WAIT! What the hell did he just call me?!

. . . . .

I went back to my room and on the computer. After signing in on my email account I check my inbox.

From:

Seta Souji

To:

Arisato Minato

Subject:

Mission

Just as plan. Got the Kurijo group to make an alliance with us. New mission for you. At Paulownia Mall there is a club called Escapade. When you enter it there will be a man sitting at the bar. Talk to him and lead him to form an alliance with us. I'll send your fake I.D. another time. Make sure he will be willing to form the alliance. He is an important person.

I read the message from my uncle and signed off after. Giving out a sigh and I went back downstairs and saw Junpei and Yukari reading a magazine of some sort and listening to music. I sat next to Yukari and asked what she was listening to. "What are you listening to?"

She took off her pink and white headphones and looked at me with awe eyes. "Oh! Hello Minato. Junpei lend me some songs from Sealed Shards 5th album."

I looked at Junpei. "Yeah! I can't believe you haven't even heard of them! There like world famous!" He exclaimed.

I turned back to Yukari. "Well excuse me! I'm too busy unlike someone here!" She exclaimed back. Their little quarrel began.

After minutes listening to the argument I decided to speak. "So who's your favorite?" They stopped then looked at me confused.

"In Sealed Shards. There are six members and I'm curious who you both like the most."

After understanding what I meant they began thinking. Junpei was the first to answer. "I think I like the leader the most. He has an awesome voice and super cool! I definitely like his mask though." He said with one eye close and a thumb up.

I nodded. "What about you, Yukari?"

"I actually don't know the member's. This is actually the first time I heard their music and stuff."

"Then let me explain Yuka-tan," Out of know where Junpei had glasses on and got out a large whiteboard. "There are six members in the band. Three girls and three boys. It is a rumor that each one of them are dating each other. The three girls are called Pixie XII the oldest in the group and band," he threw a picture of a girl with spiky short pig tails with a mask on. "Alice VII," then drew a girl with two high pig-tails that seemed to reach her stomach. "Then there is the leader of the girls, Eurydice XXII. They are called the Numeral Seals when they are together." He then drew a girl with a high pony-tail. "Now starting with the youngest of all in the band and in the guys group is Pyro Hollow," Then he drew a boy with a pumpkin face mark under his right eye. "Then there is Uriel Blade the twin brother of Alice VI and last but not least there is the leader of the whole group and band Death." He drew the other two. "With Death in the guy group, they are called Droplet Shards. Put the two groups together you get Sealed Shards. Nobody actually knows their identity or faces only some. Their rivals are also the worldwide pop-singers, Fantasy Lights."

" . . . Urrg . . . so who is the Fantasy Lights?" Yukari asked.

Junpei cleared his throat again. "Like I said before they are the rival group of Sealed Shards. Their band was also form at the same time when Sealed Shards were form. They consist of four band mates, three boys and only one girl. Starting with the guitarist, his name is Grettal, his real name is actually Rick Locks but in Japan we may call him Locks Rick. He's the son of the famous actress, Bella Lock in Paris and also in America. Next is the drummer, Effect. His real name is Fong Lao or Lao Fong in our saying. He's the son of the president of the famous company in China and is next to inhering his family fortune; he's actually the only son in the Lao-Yang Family. Then there is the pianist Lovely, real name is Chloe Wood or Wood Chloe, the daughter of the super famous designer and director, Susie Wood and Blake Wood of America. The last is the leader of the band, Super*. His real name is actually Hibari Akihiro. He's actually Japanese so then his real name is Akihiro. Nobody knows about his past and stuff."

"So the band is actually a band of big-shots children's?" Yukari raised a brow.

Oh and how true she was.

"Now that I think about it . . . yeah."

"You sure know a lot about them." I said monotone.

"Well, if you're the number one fan of Sealed Shards you got to know them and their life." He said with a proud tone.

"It just sounds like you're a stalker." I said.

He fell down on the ground while Yukari laughed.

. . . . .

After the incident Mitsuru-sempai came back and we all went to Tartarus later. It felt like our skills leveled up somehow. Oh! And I found some money and other stuff.

Next Day

Classroom

Lunch Time

As I was about to leave my seat Mitsuru-sempai came in and cause everyone to stop what they were doing and straighten up then bow to the Ice Queen. Trust me; you don't want to see how she got that name. It literally means what it means.

She came up to me and folded her arms under her chest then gave a pleasant smile. "Arisato," She said to me. Everyone raised a brow at me. "After looking through your profile, I'm surprise to see how well your grades are. I was wondering if you want to join the Student Council, there is an open spot."

I was shock. Why would she look through my profile? "As much as I like to join the Student Council I would have to decli-" I was cut off as she clapped her hands.

"I knew you would say yes. After school, go to the Facility office and tell them I sent you there. They'll do the rest. Good Day." She left me with a dumbfounded face.

"-ne." I finished my sentence.

My classmates kept on staring at me an awe and confusion.

After School

I went to the Facility office and saw Ms. Toriumi there looking through files. I approached her and she smiled at me with a . . . taint of blush?

"I'm here because Mitsuru-sempai told me to come here?" I said shrugging the blush off.

"Ah, so you did decide to join the Student Council! Here is the schedules and key and other stuff." She gave me the said stuff. "Please sign this contract."

"Contract?" I tilted my head to the side.

"Yes. Kurijou-san told me specifically to make sure you sign this."

" . . . H-hai." I signed it.

"Great! Please go to the reception room then. That's where the Student Council meets on specific days."

"Thank you." I went off with a low bow.

. . . . .

As I arrived at the room I opened it to spot everyone in the room looking at me. I notice a guy with grey and black hair with a yellow armband that says . . . Discipline Prefect. He seems to be mature for the way his arms were folded under his chest and a scowl on his face.

"So nice for you to join us Arisato." I heard Mitsuru. I turned my direction to her and bow a small bow.

"It's a pleasure." I said monotone.

"Have a seat and I'll introduce you to all."

"Hai."

I took a seat next to the Discipline guy.

Mitsuru-sempai introduced me then I introduced myself.

After the meeting or whatever it was called I stretched my muscles.

"Hello Arisato-san." I turned my head to the side to see the guy I sat next to greeted me. "I'm the Discipline Prefect Hidetoshi. Please to meet you." He put out his hand for me to shake.

I took his hand and shook it telling him my name. "Arisato Minato."

"Tell me Arisato, what do you think of the uniforms here?" He said with a serious tone. I better think this right.

"There fine."

"Exactly! Some students just don't appreciate it! They should show some respect-" and so he blabbered more.

Thou art I as I am Thou

Thou has reached level one for the Emperor Arcana

I groaned in my head after I heard my new social link.

Dorm

Evening

I arrived at the dorm and went to my room after greeting everyone in the lounge. After locking my door I went to change into sweats and a plain gray shirt.

Going to my desk and opening my drawer I took out my blue glasses and put it on. I then sat on the desk chair and took out some piece of paper. I wonder what I should write for my new song.

A week later

Evening
Dorm

After getting my new social links, the Justice Arcana from the school Treasure, Chihiro, getting the Magician Arcana one from Kenji, and getting the Strength Arcana from Yuko as well as leveling up the Hangman Arcana and the Chariot Arcana I became tired. Who knew trying to get social links were tiring, and all in two weeks or so.

Well it was finally time to rest so I went into bed with my P.J.'s and slept until . . .

Ring, Ring, Ring

Some alarm came on. I groaned then changed to some jeans and a dark blue T-shirt that said Swagger.
Normal Pov

After everyone entered the fourth lounge with their weapons and stuff they all took a seat. Mitsuru cleared her throat and began to tell everyone the news. "There seems to be some Shadows out loose somewhere."

"What!?" Yukari and Junpei exclaimed in union as Minato rubbed his eyes with a yawn.

"Where are they? I'll knock them dead!" Junepei said with enthusiasm in his tone and eyes.

"Calm down Iori. We'll be sending you three to clear things up."

"What will I do Mitsuru?" Akihiko said.

"You'll be staying here Aki. Your injury is still severe."

Akhiko gave a "Tch" sound but none the less he obeyed.

"Where are they anyway?" Minato asked.

"At the Monorail Station. You three should go first. I'll meet you there later. Don't forget to take your stuff with you."

"Hai." The three said in union then they left to their destination.

Monorail Station

The three waited by the station waiting for their sempai to come.

"Look at the moon . . . it kind of freaks me out." Yukari said.

The two boys looked up to the yellow full-moon.

"Urrg! How long will she take?!" Junpei complained as he threw his arms in the air.

"She's here." Minato said as he stood up from where he sat at.

Right on cue an engine was heard. Looking at the direction of the noise they saw a person on a motorcycle. After a couple seconds of staring, the motorcycle stopped right in front of them leaving some dust surrounding them. The person got off the vehicle then took of her helmet only to leave two students gape.

Minato whistled. "Nice ride." Minato said in monotone voice.

"Why thank you Arisato." Mitsuru said with a small smile. Turning her head to the other two who were gaping at her, she shook them out of their form. "If you don't close those mouths of yours, a fly might go in."

The two students closed their mouths quickly.

After informing the three the basics and stuff she assigned a leader. And guess who it was.

"What?! Again?!" Junpei exclaimed.

"Yes, Iori. I believe Arisato well do well once again. He was the one to save you two the first time we went to Tartarus."

"B-but-" He was cut off.

"No buts. Now go on. We don't have much time left. Hurry!"

"Hai!" The three ran off as Junpei complained the whole way and the other two ignored him.

. . . . .

The three arrived at the monorail on the tracks. "So this is where they are." Yukari said as she began to walk towards it.

The other two followed.

As she was began to climb the ladder that was attached to the monorail a light bulb appeared above her head. "Don't look up." She said sending glares to the two who quickly turned their heads to the other side.

They all entered one by one. Inside the monorail were red coffins. Only a few though.

"Be careful. I sense them but I can't exactly tell where they are. Just give me a minute or two but first head on and get ready at all time." Mitsuru said as the group nodded their heads.

Step by step and cart by cart everything was to quiet. They have yet not encounter a single shadow.

"It's a little bit to quiet." Said Junpei.

" . . . Have you guys ever watch horror movies." Minato said with a slight smirk.

The two others shuddered at that then nodded. "That was really out of character." They thought in a union.

"Then something may pop out and drag one of us than rip us to shreds if we don't be careful."

"H-ha ha, Yeah sure whatever you sa- Gahhhh!" Junpei jumped back and fell on his ass when a shadow appeared right in front of him.

"Oh, I was correct."

Suddenly the shadow walked, more like floated, off in a blink of an eye to the other cart. "Wait!" Junpei stood up than was about to go after it but was stop by Mitsuru's voice.

"Iori! Wait!"

"It's going to get away if we don't do something!"

"It might be a trap Iori. Let's think it through."

"B-but!"

"Arisato, you're the leader, what do you think?"

"We need to be conscious. Just like Mitsuru said, it might be a trap." Minato said with a serious face that made Junpei gulp.

"Screw this! I'm going after it!" Junpei ran off ignoring his fright a minute ago.

"Junpei!" Yukari yelled out but it was too late since Junpei was out of range.

"Leave him Yukari. We'll go get him later."

"B-but- Kyaa!" Yukari yelped when she lost her balance.

"What the hell?!" Minato cursed.

"It seems the shadows have taken control of the monorail. We don't have much time left until it crashes! Hurry and get Iori than go to the head of the monorail. I think that's where the boss is at. Hurry!"

"Hai!" The two were about to head over to the other cart until a group of shadows appeared blocking the entrance to the other cart.

A hand, a table, and something that looked like a black cloth with a square above its head began to attack them with different magic.

"Shit!" Minato hissed under his breath.

He took out his Evoker and shot himself than attack with a Bufu attack from Aspsaras.

After defeating the shadows the two of them ran off to find Junpei. "Mitsuru-sempai, how much time do we have left?" Minato asked.

"19 minutes and 9 seconds left."

"That's all?!" Yukari exclaimed.

"We need to hurry and find him or we won't have much time to defeat the head shadow."

"Yeah! Geez Stupei!"

Cart by cart and attacking some shadows that were in the way the two finally found Junpei having difficulties dealing with the three shadows that were attacking him.

"Junpei!" Yukari exclaimed as she went up to the group and began to attack as well.

"I can handle them so back off!" He yelled at her.

"Yeah right! Look at you!"

"I was doing just fine before you two came!'

"No you weren't! You would have died if we didn't come!"

"How would you know?!"

"Cause I just know, Stupei!"

"Both of you shut the hell up before I god-damn freeze you!" Minato yelled at the two who were quarrelling.

The two stopped their argument when they felt the murderous area behind their leader. "Either you fight and hurry it up so we can complete the mission or die here as I complete the mission myself."

The two gulped.

. . . . .

After fighting and defeating the shadows they ran to the first cart. In front of them was the door to the cart.

"How much time do we have left?" Minato asked once again.

"Only 10 minutes and 21 seconds left."

Minato shot a glare at the two as they cowardly looked away from his view with beads of sweat dripping down their faces.

"Let's go." He commanded.

"Hai." The two said in union.

Minato opened the door and rushed in with the two after him. Minato looked at the beast before him. It was . . . really awkward. He could see the other two with blushes on their faces as well.

The monster had one side of her black and the other side of her white. Her hair was put into two pig-tails that seemed to be ribbons and on her face was a pink butterfly mask. The only thing she wore was a green skirt, leaving her chest expose, but even with the green skirt, it didn't help much as they almost saw . . . you know what . . . as she putted her legged up.

"L-lets hurry!" Minato commanded with a taint of pink on his cheeks.

"H-hai!" The others to.

They got out there Evoker and began to attack.

Using Orpheus, Minato used bashed and caused some damage on the shadow.

Yukari was using her Garu skills as well as her healing skills to heal her teammates.

Junepi used his Agi skills and his Physical skills to attack.

But all in all they couldn't see the shadow faltering.

Suddenly the shadow summoned two other shadows.

"What the?! Shit!" Junpei cursed.

"The two of you handle the other two! I'll handle the boss!" Minato commanded.

"Hai!"

"How much time do we have left Mitsuru-sempai?!"

"Five minutes and 36 seconds left!"

"Shit!" Minato pointed his gun to his head. "I summon you, Jack Frost!" The little cute white and plushy Jack Frost appeared doing a little dance. "Bufu!" Bufu was used at the shadow.

Two minutes past yet the main shadow was still going. Even though it seemed tired out it still had enough strength to attack and summon.

The trios were gasping for air. They used up their entire SP by summoning their persona's too much and don't have any more medicine to survive another hard blow.

Minato stood up with his sword in his hand. Tightening his grip on the object he went and attacked it head on but it was quickly blocked by the shadows hand causing too much impact on him causing him to fly to the other end of the shadow.

"Minato!" His two comrades yelled out in concern.

"Urrg." Minato groaned as he tried to stand up but faltered every time he tried. He put his hand on his mouth and coughed. Looking at his hand he stared at the red sticky liquid known as blood. " . . . I can't die here . . . I promise everyone I'll come back . . . I promise I wouldn't leave her . . . I . . . I . . . I do not break my promises." Minato stood up clutching his stomach and walking to the shadow as his bangs covered his eyes. "I don't want to see you die . . . but if that's the only way to make you realize that I won't falter then so be it." Minato looked at the monster straight in the eyes as the monster just stared back at him. "I am a man that always keeps his promises . . . . So I will return to them and not die here." He aimed his Evoker to his head. "Persona!" Angel appeared behind him. "Hanma!" A golden light appeared and surrounded the shadow as 3 golden cards appeared with a circle of writings. The cards and circle twirled imitating a brighter light that would have blinded a person.

Seconds passed as the trio covered their eyes with their hands. As the light faltered Minato removed his hand slowly. "Did I do it?" He asked himself as he stared at the spot where the shadow was at but unfortunately to him, it was still there. He widened his eyes as well as the others.

"B-but . . . how?" He asked himself once more.

"Arisato you only have 2 minutes and 45 seconds left! Hurry!"

"Minato catch!" Minato turned around and caught the sword he dropped from Junpei. "It's weaken! We can do an all out attack! Yukari get up!"

"Hai!" Yukari got up and got her bow and arrow ready.

Minato looked at them both then at the shadow. A trail of blood was coming down his face and bruises were shown everywhere. But even if he had those, he stilled showed determination. "All out attack!"

"Hai!" They all ran to the shadow and used their final blow.

After attacking and attacking they all got swiped away by the ribbons. Each one hit the wall on the other side then fell to the ground.

"No . . ." Yukari said as her eyes became full of tears.

"We . . . c-can still do it." Junpei said as he clutched his stomach.

". . . Stop it." The two looked at their leader in confusion and awe.

"Why?! We can still do it!" Junpei exclaimed.

"STOP IT! DON'T HURT HER!" Minato yelled with an anger face and tears coming down his eyes.

The two looked at the direction their leader was looking at. They widen their eyes. What they saw was a girl with brown hair put in a bushy pony-tail. Her bangs were pin to the side with six pins that formed XXII. She wore the school uniform of Gekkaun High. She lay unconscious in the grip of the shadow.

"W-who is she?" Yukari muttered to herself.

Her question wasn't answered at the moment as Minato went dashing off with two guns in his hand. One was his Evoker and the other was a jet black hand-gun.

"Let her go!" He yelled.

He shot the shadow with the black gun then jumped up to the height of the girl then kicked her which seemed to have made her leave the grip of the shadow. The girl laid on the ground unconscious as Minato kept on shooting the shadow with the hand-gun.

The two, who were still on the ground, got up and got their weapons ready then attacked with Minato even if they were tired.

Minato was shooting like crazy at the shadow. It didn't seem like the Minato they both knew.

"34 seconds left!"

While Minato was not looking, one of the shadows ribbon came at him from behind then causing him to lose his grip of his guns from shock. He landed on the ground groaning.

The other two saw their leader on the ground and began to run to him but were stopped as two ribbons captured them as they yelled in pain.

"Aaaaagh!" Junpei had one of his eyes closed.

"Auahhhh!" Yukari was turning pale.

Minato looked at them then at the shadow but was to slow as to dodge its attack that was coming right at him. All he did was stared and stared and stared.

"Persona!" He heard a familiar feminine voice. The attack that came right at him was block by a golden monster. It had long brown hair and a golden and silver mechanical body. Behind the monster was a heart shape harp. After blocking the attack the monster turned its body towards him. Its eyes were blood red and around the chest area, there was a speaker. It wore a red scarf. Oddly enough the monster would have been the female version of his Orpheus. Turning around, he spotted the girl with his Evoker aiming at her head.

" . . . Minako." He said under his breath.

The girl stared back at him. Suddenly she clutched her head. Seeing her like that Minato ran to her as fast as he could. "Ahhhhhh!" Hearing her scream, he quickened his pace, but was stop when an eerily sound came behind him. Turning around and spotting the suppose to be female version of his persona being ripped apart from the inside and turning into a black and white monster with coffins around its body attacking the shadow, all he did was stare in awe as the monster ripped the shadow to shreds and began eating it.

After a couple of seconds, the monster turned back to the original shape then disappeared.

"Hurry and turn off the train! There's only 9 seconds left!"

"Shit!" Minato ran to the control area that controlled the monorail and stared at it to see which one was the one that made it stop.

"Only 5 seconds left!"

"Here goes nothing!" He pulled on something.

In the background he heard the screams of his comrades.

. . . . .

Seconds later Minato opened his eyes and stayed still until he remembered. He ran out of the control room and saw his comrades, plus the girl, on the ground with their eyes close. "Is everyone alright?" He asked in a worry tone.

The two comrades opened their eyes slowly then stared at him. Each one of them chuckled awkwardly.

"H-ha ha ha . . . We made it." Junpei said as he slowly tried to stand up.

"H-ha ha ha . . . You said it Junpei." Yukari said as she slowly tried to stand up as well.

Minato gave out a sigh of relief.

"Is everyone Ok?" They heard the worried tone of Mitsuru.

"Yeah." Yukari answered her.

"sigh I'm glad. Please return immediately and Arisato . . . thank you."

" . . . No prob."

Yukari and Junpei gave out a sigh. "By the way Minato, how did you know which one was the one to stop the monorail?" Yukari asked her leader.

"Yeah." Junpei was curios as well.

". . ."

". . ."

". . ."

"That's a good question Yukari."

The two stared at him dumbfounded.

"Really dude?! You just freaken guessed when our lives were in stake?!" Junpei exclaimed.

Yukari just sweatdropped at the side.

"I guess." Minato said in his usual monotone voice, but really inside he was feeling angry of not being strong enough to defeat the shadow. "We gotta go. Get your stuff." He said once more as he walked to the girl and picked her up bridal style.

"U-umm . . . who is that Minato?" Yukari asked.

Minato turned towards them. "Arisato Minako."

[A.N.

I'm beat . . . It was so hard to just write how they would fight and stuff but I'm glad I was finally finished! Thank you all for liking this story!

Oh and about "Super*" it actually means Super Star okay? If I have written it then it would have been too long.

Ja ne! R&R!]
