Chapter 11: Junpei

"Hey Mina tan, didn't think I'd run into you here? What's up?"

"The sky, that airplane, those birds. The-"

Junpei chuckled. "Alright I get it. But what are you up to so early in the morning?"

"Uh well...I...you see..."

"Moron! Idiot! ABSOLUTE IGNORAMUS! HOW COULD YOU LET AKI TALK YOU INTO DRUGGING MEEEEEEEEEE?" shouted Shinjiro. He was still a bit under the weather but well enough to yell at Minako and give her a piece of his mind.
"W-well...it's not like you've never taken drugs before." replied Minako reminding him of the Strega incident.

Shinjiro was fuming. Steam coming out his ears, veins popping out his forehead, that sort of thing. Minako had accidentally went too far.

"Hehehe...uh ya know...I...uh...MILK! I think I'll go get you some milk. Makes the body strong and all that good stuff. Ba-bye!"

"And then I ran for my life."

Junpei nervously chuckled, "Wow...that sounds...scary..."

"So what are you up to?"

"Nothing...nothing really...just...I dunno..."

"Oh...well...bye."

Junpei grabbed Minako's arm.

"It's just that I was reminiscing about the good old days."

"Oh yeah, the good ole days. Well bye." Minako tried to get away but Junpei's grip tightened.

"I was just thinking about Chidori and how she lost all her memories."
"Yeah, that Chidori, she's something alright." replied Minako struggling to get out of Junpei's grip. Unfortunately Junpei started to pull Minako towards the direction of the hospital.

"Ya know Mina-tan since your not doing anything else at the moment why don't you come to the hospital with me. I'm gonna try to make Chidori remember everything."

Minako pulled one way but Junpei proceeded to drag her towards the direction of the hospital against her will.

"Junpei I don't really see the point in me coming with you and I really should get going so-"

"We're almost there Mina-tan."

Junpei was completely ignoring Minako.

"Why are you here again? I told you I don't remember you?"

"Well yeah I know that but I was hoping to change that."

"What about her, why is she here?" Chidori asked pointing towards Minako.

Minako replied, "Well it all started when a sperm cell fertilized-"

"Woah Min-tan, too much information."

"Are you a dimwit? I obviously didn't mean it that way. I meant why did you come here today with him?"

"Well Junpei kinda forced-"

"It sure is a nice day today!" Junpei shouted clearly trying to drown out Minako. Chidori didn't pay it much mind though.

"Yeah it is, that's why I really need to-"

"Then again, it looks like it's about to rain." quickly said Junpei closing the door that Minako seemed to be slowly advancing to.

Minako sighed in defeat. Whether she liked it or not it was obvious that Junpei wasn't going to let her leave. Not yet anyway.

Chidori raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"It doesn't look like it's going to rain. It's very sunny out."

Junpei chuckled nervously rubbing the back of his head. "Oh...yeah...it does look pretty sunny. Guess I was just imagining things."

After that the room became very silent, until Minako finally broke the ice.

"Do you remember Strega?"

Junpei resisted the urge to choke Minako for bringing up such a painful memory. Thankfully Chidori didn't seem to remember thus it wasn't really a memory for her.

"No I don't. How many times do I have to say it before you get it through your thick skulls? I don't remember anything. Now will the two of you please leave?"

"Well since you insist-"

Once again Junpei stopped Minako from leaving. For one reason or another he didn't want Minako to go.

"Mina-tan where do you think your going?" asked Junpei, pulling on Minako's arm trying to make her stay.

"Nowhere in particular, just wanted a little fresh air." she replied trying to reach the door.

The two continued to struggle until Junpei managed to pull Minako back so hard that she fell back and onto him.

They were both on the floor in a rather compromising situation that only became more compromising as Minako and Junpei both tried to get up at the same time but ended up falling back down onto each other. Minako's lips on top of Junpei's. An unintentional kiss but still a kiss nonetheless. Typical shoujo anime moment.

Chidori gasped then immediately jumped up. Grabbing Minako by her collar she practically threw her away from Junpei and into the wall at the other side of the room.

"What do you think your doing?"

"Chi-Chidori?" confusingly said Junpei.

"Ouch my head and my butt." cried Minako rubbing her head was one hand and her butt with the other.

"Uh...I..." Chidori blushed and jumped back into bed. She threw the sheets over her and tried her best to pretend she was asleep. But come on now, who was she fooling.

"Chidori..." gently said Junpei with a smile. He was truly happy.

Chidori's feelings for him were finally coming to surface and it was all thanks to Minako. He honestly didn't plan on making Chidori jealous and he most certainly didn't plan on kissing the former leader of Sees and current girlfriend of Shinjiro but strangely enough everything had worked out for the best. He figured that if anyone could bring Chidori's memories to surface it would be Minako.

Minako stood up and glanced at Junpei. She was unsure of whether or not he'd try to force her to stay so she didn't bother saying goodbye. She just ran out the door as fast as she could without looking back.

Junpei chuckled and thought to himself, "Thanks Mina-tan."

Author's note: I was contemplating whether or not I would put Chidori into this story because to be honest I kinda dislike her and here's why:

- Chidori is the reason you can't go the lovers route with Junpei.

And yeah, that's pretty much it. I mean when Junpei fell in love with her I knew it was all over. Junpei/Minako just wasn't happenin. BUT at the same time I couldn't really leave her out of this story cuz then Junpei would be sad. I figure he still wouldn't be over Chidori so the best that could happen as far as Junpei/Minako goes would be hurt/comfort/romance. But this is supposed to be a comedy and I'm not too good at writing sad fics like that. So yeah, Chidori's in the story and even though the kiss between Junpei and Minako was unintentional on their parts I'm still counting it as Junpei/Minako.

Another thing I want to mention is that I can imagine Minako being the one to help bring Chidori's memories back because Minako's cool like that. And she's pretty much the character they all turn to when their in trouble. Misturu asked Minako to go after Yukari when she was upset and Akihiko drags Minako along with him to try to convince Shinjiro to come back to Sees and lets not forget how quickly Minako became leader. AND that's pretty much all the examples I can think of at the moment but I'm sure there's more.
