Hmmm, I think I could have done a little better on this chapter. I hope I got Shinjiro and Minako's personalities down…I hope you enjoy this chapter! This chapter is…you guessed it, another Shinjiro chapter. I now have a pretty good idea on how my story is going to turn out, but it's hard writing it all down. Hope you like it, and please review! 3

~Shinjiro's Room, Morning~

'N-no! Stop! Please!' Minako kept turning restlessly in her sleep. 'Someone…anyone…help me….Shinjiro…' The events that occurred last night kept appearing in her head, no matter how hard she tried to block them out. 'Ahhh!' Just from that image, she jolted up from the bed, covered in a cold sweat. She looked around the room. 'Where…am I?'

"You're finally awake, huh?" A voice said. Minako looked up to see Shinjiro by the door.

"…What are you doing here?" Minako asked. Shinjiro had an annoyed, yet happy look on his face.

"This is MY room, idiot."

From those words, Minako remembered that she asked Shinjiro if she can sleep with him. Minako blushed. Shinjiro sighed.

"You alright? How bout I make you some breakfast?" Shinjiro asked. Minako looked at him and smiled.

"I'd like that a lot..."

"Fine, but you have to go down to the kitchen with me…I may have let you into my room, but that's all I'm doing in terms of being a nice guy."

Minako chuckled. "Alright…ummm…can I wear your coat? I don't want to walk around in my PJs…"

"Sheesh. You wear that thing so often you might as well keep it…that wasn't an offer, by the way." Shinjiro smiled, handing her his coat. Minako smiled back and put his coat on. They both headed downstairs.

~Dorm Lounge~

Shinjiro sighed with relief when he saw that no one was in the lounge. He realized that since it was a Monday, everyone was probably at school. He went into the kitchen, with Minako close behind.

"What would you like to eat?"

"Umm…omelet with fried rice sounds good…"

Shinjiro nodded and began cracking some eggs. He put the scrambled eggs in a frying pan. At the same time, he was making the fried rice. Minako was amazed. Shinjiro looked like a pro, the way he was cooking everything. Before she knew it, he was done cooking and had plated the omelet and fried rice in front of her.

"Here."

She bowed to him, and began eating. It was delicious. Minako ate up everything on her plate.

"That was so good! Thank you, Shinjiro!"

Shinjiro blushed a little. "Y-you're welcome."

Minako smiled and took her plate to the counter. Then, Minako began to cry. Shinjiro noticed and ran up to her. "Minako, what's wrong?"

Minako turned around, looked him in the eyes, then hugged him close, her head buried in his chest.

"I…I feel like dirt…I thought that the only person I'd have sex with is the person I loved the most. But I never knew something like that would happen to me…" She began crying more. Shinjiro just stood there, unable to say anything. He just put his arms around her, pulling her close.

"Don't worry. Even if the memory is painful, you have to move forward…you have to look back at the good memories." Shinjiro grimaced when he said that. 'You have to move forward, huh? I should take my own advice…'

"Shinjiro?"

"H-huh? Oh, nothing." He had a pained look on his face. "But, take my advice…or else you'll end up…" He hesitated. "…like me…" He said in an almost inaudible tone.

"…I couldn't hear the last part, but thank you for worrying about me, Shinjiro…" She looked Shinjiro in the eyes once again, then kissed him on the lips. Shinjiro looked surprised, but allowed Minako to continue. He wasn't even resisting. He lied down on the kitchen floor, with Minako on top of him. She parted her lips, allowing Shinjiro's tongue to enter. He began exploring her mouth, enjoying her taste. She let out a soft moan, which encouraged Shinjiro to go on. However, Shinjiro stopped and looked away. Minako looked at him.

"Shinjiro?" He looked at the door, then back at her.

"We shouldn't do this…don't hang around me. Spend time with your friends…" Shinjiro got up and walked upstairs without looking back. Minako stared at him, tears flowing down her face.

"Sh-Shinjiro!" As she yelled his name, the front door opened.

"We're home!" Junpei yelled. He saw Minako by the kitchen. "Hey! Feeling better I see? That's good!"

Minako just gazed at the stairs…still crying. Junpei looked at the stairs, then back at Minako. "Uh, Minako-chan?"

Coming back to her senses, she looked at Junpei.

"J-Junpei…" She then hugged him tight, crying. Junpei's eyes went wide. Unsure of what happened, Junpei gently rubbed Minako's back.

"H-hey, come on. What happened to the confident and fearless leader I knew? I'm not sure what happened, but if anyone can get over it, it's you!"

Minako looked up at Junpei and smiled. "You're right, Junpei…thank you…" Junpei smiled back.

"Heh, glad to hear it!"

Minako began looking around. "Where're the others?"

"Oh, Yuka-tan and Fuuka are slowpokes. I actually ran as fast as I could back here, so they're probably still walking back. And Mitsuru-senpai wanted to talk to Akihiko-senpai regarding the next full moon mission."

"Oh, right, I completely forgot about that…when's the next full moon?"

"I think Fuuka said it was on October 4th. That's only a few days away."

Minako nodded. The front door opened, and Yukari and Fuuka walked in. When they saw Minako, they ran up to her and hugged her tight.

"Minako! I was so worried…" Yukari began tearing up.

"Minako-chan, are you hungry? You want me to make you something?" Fuuka asked. Minako had an uneasy feeling in her stomach.

"Uh no thanks, Fuuka…I already ate…"

Yukari grinned. "No doubt Shinjiro-senpai made you something, right?" At those words, Minako looked down at her feet. She began to cry again.

"Minako?" Yukari and Fuuka looked at her with concerned looks on their faces. Junpei then realized why Minako was crying earlier.

"Why don't we change the subject? H-hey, the day after tomorrow is the next full moon right? Does anyone know what kind of shadow we'll be facing?" Minako faintly smiled at Junpei, who smiled back.

"Hmmm, until October 4th, I won't be able to figure out any useful information on the shadow…but I say that until then we should continue training." Fuuka said. Everyone nodded in agreement. Just then, the door opened. Ken walked in the door.

"Hey, Ken-kun! Are you hungry?" Fuuka asked. Ken looked down at his feet.

"No, thanks, but I think I'm just going to work on my homework for the rest of the day…" He silently went upstairs.

"Ken sure looked depressed…as a matter of fact, he's been acting depressed ever since Shinjiro-senpai rejoined SEES…I wonder what happened?" Junpei asked.

"Well, regardless, I say we take it easy today…I don't think anyone's in the mood to go to Tartarus today." Yukari said.

"I agree…I think I'm going to sleep a little more. I'm starting to feel tired." Minako said.

"Ok, in that case, we'll be in the lounge if you need anything." Junpei smiled. Minako nodded and headed up the stairs. When she got to her room, she lied down on the bed. 'I felt like my heart was going to be ripped out…is it because…I'm in love with Shinjiro? …Yeah, that must be it…I should tell him how I feel…' And with that, Minako slowly drifted to sleep…

I hoped you all liked this chapter…my next chapter might take longer to upload too, so I hope that you all remain patient with me. I have tons of homework to do. For those that are reading, thank you so much for reading my story, and I hope you like the next chapter!
