This will be the last chapter for a little while I want to continue writing this story but I dont see any interested people plus my exams are coming up so yeah its gonna be slow now but please review.

Minato POV

Last night was...dangerous to say the shadow took control of the monorail and Junpei acted like an ass I was still pretty angry with him besides I only lead a group of a few people and nobody else knows what we do,so whats the point of being a leader to gloat about yourself but I did offer him a test if he passed he'll be the leader.

Today was the last day for boxing training for a while as exams were near but still it was pretty fun I knocked out a few guys and had a decent spar with was glad that someone could keep up with him I held back a little I didn't want to embarass my senpai infront of the club I did caught a few bruises so did jogged back to the dorm without taking the monorail I passed the moonlight bridge and remembered the accident years ago that screwed up my life but I shrugged it off nothing I could do and arrived at the dorm just as night was beginning.

Yukari POV

I was sitting on a couch reading a fashion magazine while senpai was reading a novel and stupei was playing his portable game console I was still pissed about what he did last night but I am glad we survived and we defeated the shadow even though Minato-kun helped alot but I sure did get a confidence boost.

The door slammed open and in came Minato-kun who was listening to his mp3 player while as usual his hands were in his pockets and behind him was Akihiko-senpai who looked out of breath. Minato-kun had a bruise on his left cheek while Akihiko-senpai had a black eye.

Mitsuru-senpai stood up "Akihiko Arisato where were you? what took you so long?" Man is she pissed.

"We skipped the train and decided to sprint towards the dorm it was pretty satisfying don't you agree senpai?" Minato looked at Akihiko-senpai for his opinion. He stopped panting and spoke up "Yeah ofcourse it was hell of fun hehe" he still looked knackered.

"And what's with the bruises?" I asked Minato-kun titled his head towards me "Meh...boxing practice a guy got a sucker punch and I knocked his lights out then."

"What about you Akihiko that appears to be a black eye" Mitsuru-senpai asked.

Senpai nervously scratched his neck "We both were sparring and he hit a little bit too hard for comfort."

Minato-kun pressed some buttons on his mp3 player and looked at the couch where Junpei was sitting still playing his video game.

"Junpei are you ready for your test?" he looked up from his console and asked "Are you serious dude?"

"Yeah I am just like I told if you pass the test you'll be the leader PERMANENT."

I...

Chicken?

"Hell no bring your test I rip it apart" he yelled with confidence I rolled my eyes while Minato-kun had a faint smile on his face.

"Arisato what kind of test" Senpai asked with curiousness.

"Oh you'll see y'all are welcome to watch the show"

"But where?" Junpei asked.

"Downtown"

"What do you mean?"

"Dammit just go to basement and bring your sword with you I'll be waiting." he walked towards the entrance to the basement I was curious what kind of test he was having so I decided to follow senpai to the basement.

Mintues later Junpei arrived holding his sword like a baseball bat I am no expert with the sword but still it looks dangerous.

Minato-kun took out something from his pocket and gave it to me it looked like a spotwatch why does he want me to hold it?

"Alright Junpei you got 180 seconds to hit me anywhere except my arm with your sword if you do that your the leader" he turned towards me "Start the watch one I say to"

"Arisato are you serious you could get hurt playing with swords is no game" senpai scolded him.

"Stop worrying redhe-I mean senpai " he didn't think that carefully and senpai looked a bit suprised also a bit angry "I'll be fine don't worry the sword wont do any damage to me I already have switched to a slash resistant persona" he waved his hand and senpai nodded with reluctance I looked towards my other senpai and he looked excited *sigh*

Now Junpei asked "Dude are you serious?"

"Grrr...stop with the questions already and try to hit me forget any concern fight as if you want to kill " he sounded dead serious his attitude shifted suddenly I was a bit pointed towards me "Yukari on the count of 3 start the spotwatch" I nodded.

"Alright lets start the show baby" Stupei was excited ooking from the distance Junpei was taller than Minato and his sword was huge I doubt Minato-kun would be able to dodge every attack.

He adjusted his headphones to his ears and pressed the button the music started it was loud enough for me to hear it.

He stretched his left arm out and spoke "Alright 1...2...3!"

Junpei charged at him with speed of an eagle he tried to hit a sideshot but Minato-kun just titled his body to the side thus dodging it he tried to hit him many times but Minato just dodged at the precise moment and from the looks of it he didn't seem amused while Junpei looked pissed.

"Argh Dammit stand still" he yelled

"Tsk...is that even a challenge?"

Junpei jumped back and charged foward with his sword coming from above Minato-kun raised his left arm to block it while his right was behind his back. I braced myself as steel was about to meet flesh...but nothing happened the sword bounced harmlessly from his wrist Mitsuru-senpai eyes widened in suprise...he wasen't kidding.

"Come on Junpei a leader dosen't stop" he charged at him again swinging his sword in all directions but nothing was touched expect his left arm.

I looked at the spotwatch only 20 seconds remained I yelled "You got only 20 seconds reamining Junpei"

He didn't pay attention and just carried on trying to hit Minato.

Tick tock

Tick tock

Tick tock...I heard Minato-kun say his voice was almost mocking Junpei and this angered him even more he tried his dammest to hit him but no luck.

"3...2...1 Its over Junpei 180 seconds have passed" I yelled but he didn't stop looked like he didn't care and he continued to try his luck.

"Its over Junpei you lost back off now"

"*pant* Who says so?" Junpei said between pants he really was exhausted while Minato-kun didn't break a sweat...man is he a machine.

"I SAY SO" he yelled his left fist sparkled with purple energy and Junpei was bringing his sword down Minato punched it with his left arm and the sword was shattered into millions of pieces. All of us were shocked Junpei was now just holding the handle of the sword the metal was no longer there.

"W-What the hell?" Junpei was shocked.

Mitsuru and Akihiko senpai clapped at the performance

Minato-kun turned towards Junpei who was still holding the handle of his now broken sword. "You lost Junpei" he gritted his teeth " I get that dammit but you just broke my sword how the hell can I fight now?" he was pissed,Minato-kun took something out of his pocket and tossed it Junpei it looked like cash.

"10,000 yen you can buy a sword from the police station" Junpei was suprised "Are you serious?" he nodded and stupei perked up "AWESOME I can get a game along with it Minato your the best friend ever fallout 3 here I come " he started yelling and ran upstairs. I giggled while senpai let out a chuckle.

"Amazing performance Arisato how did you learn to dodge like that your skills with the sword are truly magnificent" Minato-kun looked at us he looked like he remembered something.

"I didn't get it from my persona nah I busted my ass to master it" he looked at the ground and chuckled "I used to train with some of the most merciless sword experts and at the end of the day my body was nothing but a mass of broken bones."

...Is that so..?

"Yeah at times I thought I was going insane I am really suprised I got out from there alive every day." I remembered how he told me he never wanted to feel weak again thats why he must have gone through those intense training sessions. I truly admire him he isn't bulky and tall like other people but I am pretty sure he can take them on pretty easily just like he did with Kyle a few days ago.

"And the purple energy how did you do that?" Mitsuru-senpai asked.

"I can charge my persona's power into parts of my body." he replied.

Mitsuru-senpai looked shocked "Can you show something else?" he nodded he stretched out his arm and whispered something a moment later between his fingers there was a...flower? it was made up of ice

"There you go senpai" he handed the flower to her and senpai blushed a bit her...but I felt something odd almost anger I wanted to break something more precisely Minato's face but why am I feeling this...is it jelousy? nah i shrugged off the thoughts but they still lingered in my heart.

"I'll teach you guys how to master it it won't take too long I mastered it in a few weeks." really?

"HELL YEAH" Akihiko-senpai looked giddy with excitement.

"Yeah" he turned towards the stairs and started walking "I am heading out for a bit I'll be back in a few hours toodles" he waved his hand and set off.

"Heh that kid he truly is a wild card" Akihiko-senpai chuckled. "Finally someone to keep me motivated to improve."

"I agree Arsiato joining is termendously helping us with this pace we can reach the top sooner rather than later."

"Yes he truly is someone...special" I added.

Mitsuru-senpai chuckled "Oh do I sense something else between you two?" I felt blood rush up to my cheeks and almost yelled "N-Nothing I was j-just admiring his strength t-thats all" I finished still feeling a bit flushed. She chuckled again "Well you did ADMIRE him though anyway lets get out of here the air is starting to get hot" she walked towards the stairs so did the rest of us. I still was thinking "I wanted my boyfriend to have silver eyes...Minato-kun has them...is he the one?" No I shook off the thoughts we are just friends and beside I already bet he has a girlfriend given how much attractive he is..yes that's it but still I felt sad like something was tearing my heart apart I walked into my room and clutched a photo to my chest...A photo of me and my long deceased dad..." I wish I find someone soon I don't want to be alone forever" A single tear fell I changed into my night attire and laid in my pink bed desperately trying to shove the thoughts of Minato-kun away.

Minato POV

Phew...that was fun I might be the only one to make the redhead blush I was walking around Paulownia Mall trying to find something fun to do..but why was Yukari sad.? I dunno what happened I will ask her sometime later I stopped infront of the police station but something else caught my attention the back alley was radiating blue...could it be? I walked past the alley and saw a blue door...ah what luck a shortcut to the velvet room I wanted something fun to do and looks like my wish was granted I opened the door and stepped through.

As usual someone tackled hugged me but this time I could breathe.

"You came back" Liz was overjoyed it seemed.

"Yeah I promised didn't I?" she helped me get up her always present grin still on her face.

I looked around the room and saw someone other than Igor and Liz...he was a guy few years older than me the only guy I admit is way more handsome than me or anyone else he had his silver hair swipped back and wearing a blue shirt with white gloves and black pants his eyes were the same gold colour as Elizabeth's.

"Ah Master Minato its a pleasure to see you again" he bowed I smirked.

"Its good to see you too Chet"

He cancelled his bow and looked upset "For the last time my name is Theodore" I smirked again "Really? Chet seems way more better" he went from being upset to being pissed but why Chet was a pretty cool name.

I scramed behind Elizabeth he was not as strong as Liz but he could tear me apart by just using a goddamn pixie"Woah woah woah if I were you I wouldn't even think off pulling out that dictionary not infront of Liz she will protect me right liz?" I poked her from behind showing a face of pure helplessness she answered at once "Yes ofcourse" she turned to Chet "I will protect Minato no matter what so don't even think about it dear brother" she smiled but her words oozed deadly flinched and nodded heh heh heh..

I walked forward "But seriously its good to see you again" he smiled "same here Master Minato"

I looked at Igor who had a amused smile on his face "Hey Igor whats up?"

He grinned "Nothing is up as you would say but there is something that has caught my attention" I raised my eyebrow "How are you getting along with your new team members" I shrugged "Pretty good why do you ask?" he turned serious " I sense something odd young one I cannot say what it is but there is something or someone odd" You mean a traitor "Not exactly true as I said I am not sure but please remain on your gurard at all times the wheel of fate has started spinning your journey has begun"

I didn't get what he means but I nodded I felt someone place a hand on my shoulder I turned around to see Elizabeth her golden eyes were full of worry "Please be carefull Minato when taking on any challenge" I smiled at her "Ofcourse I will I'll take any challenge that comes in my way...I promised her..."

Phew that turned out good I always wanted to see Junpei get owned after he went ass mode as I said this might be last update for a while I am not sure but if people do find this story interesting I might just continue it thank you all read and review.
