Oh those reviews were heartwarming seriously atleast I know that the readers do find this to be a good fic I'll be writing then.
Oh and expect Sakura to have a huge part in the story there will be a big twist just wait and see.
It was friday the members of SEES were busy preparing for there exams which were to be held on monday in class 2F the teacher was busy telling all the students the important points for the upcoming exams but what was shocking is that Minato was actually awake.
*Yawn* "Man it has not been even a month here and I still have to give those exams"
"Hmmm? O-Oh yes I a-agree" Yukari stammered which made Minato curious and worried.
He looked at her his silver eyes showing a hint of concern. "Hey are you alright you seem kinda out of it" It took a moment for Yukari to turn and answer "Oh yes don't worry I am perfectly fine...j-just worried about the exams that's all yup" she nodded her head reassuringly but it didn't completely convince Minato.
He looked at her blankly and Yukari was feeling nervous but after sometime he spoke "If you say so...but if you have any problem regarding the exam come to me I'll help you" he smiled a smiled weakly in return "Thank you I sure will"
MINATO! Which word here is not arabic.
"Wristwatch"
Correct be sure to memorize it this might surely be on the exams on monday. The bell rang and it was time for lunch Junpei walked towards the two teenagers grinning "Sup dudes? Minato groaned "There is only one dude over here grow some common sense you idiot" but that didn't falter his smile "Oh Minato bro you could kick me in the nuts and I will still smile" Both Minato and Yukari rolled there eyes "I finally got fallout 3" he raised his arm like he conquered something "By the way are you interested in gaming" Minato nodded "Yeah I owned just about every console back in USA I might have brought my Vita not sure tho" Junpei grinned "How about we go play some at the arcade" Minato smiled "Alright but after exams they are on monday just so you know" Junpei's smile died down and he groaned "Aww man why did you have to remind me" he looked at Yukari "Are you coming too Yuka-tan?" she shook her head "Nah I got better things to do stupei" This provided him with an oppurtunity to tease her "Well its ok that your scared to lose against the eternal gaming champion ME!" he finished with pride and this pissed the brunette off "Why you alright stupei your on after exams"
"Thats an interesting nickname you got him" Minato noted.
"Yes and it works when I want him to shut up"
"Hey I resent that" he looked at the clock and lunch was almost over "Oh crap lunch is almost over see ya I gotta jet" he ran out from the classrom. Yukari sighed and muttered something about Junpei being an idiot and this caused Minato to snicker Yukari turned towards with a slightly annoyed face "Whats so funny?" he continued to snicker for a few seconds "Hehehe sorry you guys act like a married couple sometimes its just funny." Yukari was suprised and she stomped his foot "Holy hell why did you do that for?" she crossed her arms "This isn't a joking matter Minato-kun don't even think about it again got that?" Her milky brown eyes were dead serious and Minato nodded "Okay but still you didn't have to stomp my foot I was just kidding" she turned around "Whatever anywa-" the bell rang and classes were underway.
The school day was over Minato was packing his stuff he was sure Junpei had left so did Akihiko since there was no practice today due to exams Yukari was only present so he opted to go with her. Just as they were walking Minato could feel a millions of eyes looking at them girls with fawning while the guys were glaring he was pretty used to it so he shook the stares away and walked along the brunette when suddenly about 5 schoolgirls came running in his direction they thought they were friends of Yukari but all of them ignored her and turned to the bluenette.
Its Minato-san.
*squeal* he is so cool upclose.
We will be cheering you on.
I hope you and Akihiko-senpai have a match sometime.
Come with us.
Minato dreaded this to normal people they were normal highschool girls but the squealing and barging in his private space he knew them all to well they were from his newly created fanclub and he dreaded he raised his arms "Woah ladies I am kinda busy today so...some other time perhaps" he turned to Yukari who looked...a bit pissed? " Lets haul " he started running with the brunette behind him untill they reached the dorm with Junpei greeting them.
"Sup Dude I am bored outta my mind what do you say we go kick some ass in tartarus?"
"Hit the books" bluenette answered.
"Are you serious study can wait and besides Yuka-tan wants to go aswell" he turned to look at Yukari for support she pondered it for a second "Well we do have exams but hell I'll go" the cap wearing teen seemed pleased "Yeah now we are talking so how about it dude?" Minato shrugged "Alright its fine with me I'll go tell senpai about it" He walked towards the stairs to find senpai who was in the command room.
"Yo senpai" he greeted
"Welcome back Arisato is there something I can help you with?"
"Yes tartarus tonight everyone agrees" She nodded "Okay meet me at the school before 12:00 don't be late and another thing Koromaru will be coming back today so I suggest we take him to tartarus the next time" she finished.
"That sounds good alright then I'll meet you then" he waved and then went to his room to prepare for battle.
They all walked in the newly transformed school and stopped before the staircase Sakura was not avalible today and Minato was pleased she really got on his nerves.
"Thanks god that idiot isn't here" Minato muttered.
"Oh...you mean Sakuya" Yukari asked.
"Yes she annoys the hell out of me with her question about my ability where did you find her senpai" he turned towards Mitsuru for an answer.
"We found her a long time ago during the dark hour there was a irregural shadow roaming the streets and we were chasing it until we ran into her she already knew about the power of persona and already had an evoker she made quick work of it we asked her to join but she demanded to be payed" she sighed "She has a pretty bad reputation in port island she usually hangs behind the port island station which is known to be home to the deliquents"
"I heard some nasty rumors about that place like a meeting point for ex convicts" Junpei added.
"Forget it lets explore some floors and reach the barrier senpai told us about the stratergy will be different Akihiko and Junpei will the at the front and Yukari will be healing and as usual I'll be the backup and your leader" he turned towards the clock "Lets go they" they all nodded.
Junpei POV
"Hold your sword down Junpei this isn't baseball" Minato yelled from the side I gritted my teeth and did as he said and slashed an already weak shadow reducing it into nothing.
I still don't like the fact that he is the leader but I can understand why senpai choose him something about him screams different not to mention he is trained in swords,boxing and martial arts and all those 200 persona's inside of him but why did it have to be him why couldn't I have been the one fate is seriously a bitch.
Before he joined,the exploration wasen't going good but ever since he came it went like a breeze he was true to his word he did cut in whenever a stronger shadow appeared and easily took care of it he has summoned up a total of 20 different persona's since we first met and he didn't seem affected by the dark hour as the rest of us did but he did experince it since 10 years ago so maybe he is used to it.
"This is the 14 floor the barrier used to be two floors above but now for some reason it is gone" Senpai cut in "That is really strange but focus on the shadow his arcana is the chariot it is extremely strong be careful everyone" the feed vanished. I looked at the shadow it looked like a screwdriver with two huge ass spikes on its sides I made a mental note to fight as far away as possible.
"Can you guys handle it or should I take care of it?" The high and mighty Minato asked and I yelled "Stay away this punk's ours" he nodded and leaned against his sword and barked orders "Senpai Junpei attack Yukari heal anyone who is injured but try to use wind spells aswell"
"Tch...ok boss" I still ain't used to be given orders but he ignored me and watched from the distance.
I ran upto the SOB and jumped with my sword coming down to cleave the ahole but the attack didn't damage him I backed off and tried to go for another hit when "Stop Iori the shadow isn't affected by any physical attack focus on using your persona" I grinned and drew the evoker to my head "Alright hermes kick his ass agi" my awesome-ass persona appeared and created a fireball launching it towards the shadow but it didn't little damage. I cursed nothing was working.
From the corner of my eye I saw Akihiko-san summon his persona to launch a thunderbolt at the shadow as it was about to hit the attack deflected back at senpai and he dodged at the last second "Tch...the enemy is unaffected by by zio and resistant against agi" senpai told us "It would be wise for Arisat-" no I cut her off "Yuka-tan can take care of it" I looked at her she was scared hell she always is and Minato was now standing with his sword in his hands.
GARU
She commanded her persona and the girl chained to a cow's head came infront of her and launched a mini tornado at the shadow and from the looks of it the shadow was hurt it quickly got up and powered up and ran to Akihiko-san driving him against the wall "Shit" but it didn't stop there it launched a spell which attacked all of us with lightning I shook my head to drive the pain away Akihiko-san was okay since he was reistant to electricity but Yuka-tan was hurt since it was her weakness the shadow again tried to launch another bolt of lightning at Yuka-tan who was still dizzy but then Minato cut in.
He stepped infront of her and took the attack and he didn't seem fazed by it he yelled "IS THAT THE BEST SHADOW?" he charged at the shadow and summoned another card from his palm and crushed it I blinked and saw a monstrous blue being with 6 arms and 6 legs manifested behind him he glared at the shadow and then commanded his persona.
Black Viper
The persona raised his arms up and muttered something the ground beneath the shadow turned black and something which was red and black hit it along with screaming the shadow was instantly reduced to vapour he sighed and turned towards Yuka-tan his hand glowed golden and placed it on her shoulder as he was muttering something after a few seconds she opened her eyes and saw Minato infront of her is it just me or did she turned red...? hehehe something is up she wants him.
He gestured towards Akihiko-san and the same energy flowed towards him and all his injuries were gone then he turned towards me "You want to be healed" I shook my head "Nah already used a med" he nodded "Alrigh then there are only two floors left after that lets head home" he commanded as he climbed the stairs and we all followed.
The last two floors were full of freaking shadows and we had a hard time avoiding them due to us being fatigued one of them by suprise hit Minato on his arm and this pissed him off he summoned the same angelic persona he did at the roof and blowed the place apart...that did make things easier for us I do admit that.
We reached the barrier..well where it was supposed to be but there was another case of stairs a larger one Minato turned towards us "Alright you all derserve rest *yawm* and I am sleepy too lets go home" we did as he said and went through the terminal and arrived to the first floor where Mitsuru-senpai greeted us.
"Wonderfull going although I am suprised that the barrier is gone" Meh who cares we have to move up no matter what.
"It dosen't matter we have to move up right" Damn it Minato you stole my line at this senpai nodded "I suppose you are right and I believe you were going to teach us how to manifest persona's power into our hands" really he was about to how cool it would be to have my hand on fire I could cook hotdogs without going to the kitchen.
"Yeah I will after the papers also this is the last time we come here for awhile our next exploration will be when the exams are finished" he told us all and senpai agreed with him...damn it why the hell exams do even exsist?
We were all leaving when I remebered what happened between Minato and Yuka-tan and I decided to tease her I ran towards her with a grin on my face "Hey Yuka-tan mind if I ask you something" she nodded "Ahem Junpei the wise is observing something between you and" I pointed to the back of Minato who was talking with Mitsuru-senpai about something "and him...give me all the dirt" I demanded in a funny way but what suprised me is that she didn't look upset or pissed more like sad...
"Nothing is up between us Junpei and don't spread any rumors got that and besides he might already have a girlfriend" she looked really sad "Oh if he dosen't have will you go after him" man do I regret that she stomped on my foot and yelled "No stupei cut it out" she walked away but I could hear something about "Too good for me" does Yuka-tan have self esteem issues?
I looked at the both of them and then smiled "Alright before the summer they will be dating" and then set off to find them.
Minato POV
I glanced at Yukari she was sad and looked almost ready to cry I slowed my pace down and walked beside her "Hey is something bothering you?" she looked at me and smiled a bit "No I am ok Minato-kun thank you for asking" I smiled back and after a while I spoke " I am sorry you had to eat the attack the first time it was my fault" I looked down " I am sorry if you think I am pushing you too hard I just want you all to become strong even than me by the end of the year" she looked suprised and then said "I don't think so none of us can surpass you " I put a hand on her shoulder "You will I just know it and I'll help you along the way" Yukari grinned in a gorgeous which made me feel a bit weird like a warm feeling but not a bad one we continued walking in silence but I still was wondering what the heck happened to me "I must be sleepy yeah that's it" I nodded to myself and then went straight to bed we had 2 days off for exams and I had to wake up early to start the preperation.
