I've said this before... but this one is exceedingly brutal... and emo... and torture... and cuss... prolly the darkest chapter of this fic. No, no rape or anything (I ain't ever doing that) but brutal torture and feels... well, warned you already.


Minato healed Hamuko's wounds as she laid her head against his shoulder. Mitsuru had sent Takaya to the same prison as Jin. Minato got praised quite a bit for this, and praise was exactly what he wanted. Hamuko giggled on his shoulder as the last of her wounds closed up. Minato sighed internally, Mitsuru was going to interrogate him for a long ass time now.

"Are you okay?" Minato asked softly.

"Never better," Hamuko smiled at him.

Minato sighed once more, even though Hamuko close in his personal space, he was happy. He couldn't believe that he had defeated Naoya. The battle was brutal and despite all the knowledge and power from the previous cycle, Naoya matched him blow for blow, but in the end... he prevailed.

Hamuko pulled away from his shoulder and Mitsuru faced him. Minato was pleased to note that her gaze towards him wasn't suspicious, she actually seemed worried for the blue haired teen. "How are you feeling?"

"I'll be good," Minato clutched the wound on his gut. "Just need a couple of hours..."

Minato gave Hamuko a quick look as Mitsuru asked another question. "... What were you doing there?"

"Fighting?" he joked and unlike the last cycle, Mitsuru didn't slap him on the face.

"Who was he?"

"He's another persona user," Minato replied.

"How do you know him?"

Minato stared intently at Hamuko. "Uh... we've known him since our childhood..." he said for the both of them and Hamuko didn't interfere. "And we've been battling for ages..."

"Why?" Mitsuru frowned.

"Let's say... he's kinda like the punks we captured," Minato explained, reminding them of Strega. Her hand went behind Hamuko and he pinched her slightly on the back. The auburn haired girl didn't squeak or yell, she understood what he wanted.

"I see," Mitsuru crossed her arms.

"They have personae like us but... unlike us, they actually abuse the power," Minato explained. He pushed Hamuko slightly forward. "Hamuko knows too, she has seen them before."

"Yeah," she thought back to the hospital, the monorail and the news of half of Sumaru being burned to the ground. It all happened in the previous cycle and she was determined to prevent it from happening once again. "They're criminals..."

"Why didn't you tell us?" Akihiko asked. "We could have helped you..."

Minato cringed. "Sorry senpai but I..." he swallowed thickly. "I-I really don't want you to shoulder any more problems than you currently have..."

"..." Mitsuru didn't speak up.

"Truth be told, I keep Hamuko far away from them as possible," he wrapped his arm around the female and pulled her into a tight hug, showing off his protective streak towards his 'childhood friend'. "I really can't fight if someone else is there..."

Hamuko blushed again.

"That's why I asked to sit this one out..." Minato explained. "I wanted to fight them alone... and I knew you'd get involved if I told you."

"Are you dumb?" Yukari yelled at him. "What if you got killed?"

"Dude, you were in bad condition when they saw you..." Junpei added. "... You should have told us."

"And what? take you all with me?" Minato shook his head. "You can beat the crap outta me but I won't tell you, no matter what. I refuse to put you guys in danger."

He looked at Hamuko. "We've already lost friends before... and it won't happen again." Hamuko widened her eyes, she knew what he was talking about, their friends from the previous cycle.

"Minato," Hamuko winced, Minato was broken again. He refused to look the others in the eye. "... Senpai, please don't push him..." she requested. "I-If you have any doubt then I assure you, Minato is not a bad guy. I've known him from my childhood," she lied. "And he will give his life away to save people..."

"Did that a million times," Minato spat, obviously to himself.

"I don't dis-trust him at all," Mitsuru replied back. "I admire him for taking on someone so powerful all alone... but must something that we could do to help you..."

"Just trust me," Minato said softly. "And leave the rest to me."

"You should do what he says..." Hamuko sighed, standing up. "I've yelled at him more times I can count to let me help him... but he never listens.."

"... Very well," Mitsuru sighed as well. "I'm just worried... You were close to death when we located you."

"I'm alive, senpai, thank you for the concern," he said respectfully. "And he isn't coming back."

"... I understand," Mitsuru understood what he meant. He had killed but Mitsuru didn't press the issue further. "But please... if you need any help, let me know. I will help in anyway I can..."

Minato laughed internally, this was the same chick who had slapped and yelled at him so many times in the previous cycle but over here, she was begging Minato to let her help him. "Thank you, senpai..."

As the others left to their rooms after such a crazy night, leaving the two Fools alone in the lounge. Minato sank further into the couch as he cast another Salvation over his injured body. "What a night..."

Hamuko blushed. "... It wasn't that bad..." she muttered.

Minato hadn't forget that he kissed the brat sitting next to him, he brought joy to Hamuko and it sickened the fallen one to his stomach. He had nothing but scorn and hate for her but despite all that, Hamuko was giddy, sitting extremely close to him and it didn't take a genius to see that the redhead was extremely happy.

And it was all because of him. "Desperate measures..." he sighed to himself, giving a cheek grin to his counterpart. "Sorry about that... I was a little emotional..." he took a deep breath. "I thought I'd never see you again..."

Hamuko blushed beet red once again. "Me too... but you pulled through like always..."

"Because I saw you again," Minato whispered back and the redhead shivered.

"Gaaah," Hamuko tried to calm her heart down. "Y-You need to stop driving me crazy, Minato..."

"Why?" he smirked again. "You're real cute when you blush."

"..." Hamuko hid her face between her palms.

Minato leaned back, honestly he wasn't planning to kiss Hamuko this soon but that happened and he had no choice but to go with the flow. He could still feel the power of the rank-up coursing through his veins, he was ready to do anything to get more power. Despite killing off the biggest threat to his mission, Minato was still a sucker for power. God knows what the fates that in store for him.

Hamuko looked him in the eye. "Um, I like you Minato..." she admitted shyly.

Minato snickered. "I like you too, my childhood friend..."

Hamuko went closed and hugged him once again, resting her head against his chest. "I really do feel like we've known each other since childhood..." she breathed out. "We've been through so much, Minato..."

"Yeah, got through a reality glitch too," Minato replied, referring to the reset.

"... And you remembered," she replied.

"Couldn't forget such a pretty face like yours," he flirted, leaning back.

Hamuko looked him in the eye again. "Honestly... I never felt more happy than when you greeted me in the monorail... It meant the world to me Minato, really..."

"Same here, darling," Minato replied. "You also deserve a gift for finishing off the shadow."

Hamuko hid her face in his shirt.

"I have to ask... who sent the shadow to Sumaru?" Minato asked, the shadow appearing outta nowhere scared the crap outta him.

"I don't know, Minato," Hamuko replied. "When the two attacked me... the shadow just ran off. I had no choice but to follow."

"Huh..." Minato blamed it on the fates for trying to screw with him again. Another cruel reminder that he was the most cursed asshole in existence. "Whatever, you came along with it so I'm happy..." he lied, Hamuko coming to Sumaru worried him more, he praised himself for burning down Naoya's vocal cords. He didn't want to take any risks this time, even the slightest dent in trust could mean another reset.

"... So Minato..." the female blushed scarlet again. "Um, date tomorrow?"

Minato sighed internally, right, they were dating. Fucking great. "Sure, darling.." he gave another charming smile. "That's the reward for crushing the shadow."

Minato thought Hamuko would hop off but that didn't happen, she kept clinging onto him but like always, Minato went with the flow. "Minato... who else is left?" she asked. "I get that you took care of the black haired dude... how many are left?"

Minato hummed, just Reiji and Maya. Both very winnable fights for him. "Just a few..." he lied, Maya wasn't even worth the mention. " One of them is a strong-ass boxer who has dynamites for hands..."

"Oh, oh!" Hamuko perked up, looking up to him again. "I can help you with that!"

"No..." Minato said bluntly. "You're far too precious..."

"Dammit," Hamuko's breath hitched once again. "I-I mean I can give you tips to beat him."

Minato snickered to himself, this was hilarious. "I'm listening..."

"Get close to him," she explained. "Boxers like to you keep you at range where they can generate power, get close and turn it dirty," Minato arched an eyebrow. "Clinch up and beat him up because he can't generate the same power when you're real close to him."

"Huh..." Minato blinked, that made sense.

"Take him to the ground, kick at his legs and face, a boxer doesn't know how to deal with that," Hamuko said proudly. "Just don't give him a chance to generate that power, close the distance..."

"... that does make sense," Minato nodded at her.

"Right?" Hamuko giggled, happy that she could help in anyway. "I'm glad I could help you."

Minato kissed her on the cheek, real close to her lips. Hamuko stopped giggling and started shivering. "Thanks Hamuko," he slurred into her ear, making Hamuko clutch his shirt.

She finally hopped off Minato after pecking him on the cheek. "I'll see you tomorrow then..." she smiled at him. "Sweet dreams, Minato." she walked up the steps.

"..." Minato nearly barfed. He took out his hanky and wiped his cheek clean of the lipstick. "Guess that worthless trash is useful for something after all..." well, now Reiji dying was a guarantee. He also had other people to murder in the meantime. Minato took out the list from his pocket. "Jun and Lisa..." the Dark Hour had ended so he had to postpone the killings but he wasn't worried. Naoya wasn't there to stop him anymore, he had no worries anymore.

Minato got up and went to his room. He spent the next few hours brushing his teeth and slept peacefully soon after.

...

Minato actually took Hamuko out on a date, acting like the cheesy and corny flirt he was. He was hoping for another rank up and got a little too intimate with Hamuko at times but the rank up didn't happen and it left a sour taste in his mouth. Hamuko also burned through his wallet but he didn't give a shit about money at his point, like he didn't give a shit about making friends or getting good grades. He stopped giving a shit a long time ago.

By the time they got to the dorm, Hamuko was in lala-land and Minato was real close to losing his temper. All that for nothing except a few kisses and hugs. Hamuko was giggling constantly and Minato was groaning.

"Thank you, Minato," Hamuko thanked him. "I enjoyed it very much."

"No problem," he gave another forced time. "I love spending time with you."

"Good night," she hugged him for the last time and left for her room.

Minato pulled out the list of his victims. Nyarlathotep had mentioned that Jun was extremely close to Tatsuya, like his best friend for life and just because of that... Minato was going to cripple him far worse than the rest.

Minato waited for the Dark Hour to hit. He couldn't imagine himself growing so attached to the Dark Hour in the previous cycles, he absolutely despised the time in the first few cycles but now... it was his salvation. He could do whatever the hell he wanted, kill without any concern. He didn't have any love for the Hour like Strega did but he enjoyed it, enjoyed the independence and opportunity that the Dark Hour offered him.

And soon enough, the Dark Hour hit the world and Minato let out a laugh, it was his favorite time of the day. He put on the mask and jumped out the window.

...

"Let me go-" Minato clasped Lisa's mouth shut with his palm as the female struggled to break away. He loved the way that his victims squirmed to get away from his grip when he was on top of them. Those feeble attempts to break away made him grin, mauling a human being and making him feel less than himself gave Minato a certain thrill.

"That's it," Minato sneered as the blonde female bit him repeatedly him on his hand but it didn't faze him at all. "Try all you want bitch, I give you 2 minutes." he gave out a a cruel laugh and took off his mask, scaring the shit outta Lisa with his cold stare.

"Mmmmpff!" Minato stared right into her soul, making the female quiver.

"Are you afraid?" he sneered, pulling on her ponytail. "Are you!?" he snapped, pulling harshly on her hair, making Lisa scream again.

"Why are you doing this?" Lisa managed to get out and Minato laughed out loud, terrifying the female under him.

"Because..." he got real close to her face once again and his smile melted into a hateful glare. "It's personal..." he summoned a dagger into his fist and held it up, ready to finish the torture.

"Let me go!" Lisa struggled again but it didn't work. Minato grew bored and decided it was time.

...

"No..." Tatsuya bit his lip, haunted by the visions of Minato assaulting Lisa. "Let her go..." he growled, even though he knew that his voice wouldn't reach the fallen one. "Let her go! This is between you and me..."

...

Lisa's eye went wide in a muffled scream as life started fading away from her blue eyes. Minato pulled out the knife and stood up, looking up to the skies. "Are you watching it, you piece of shit?" he roared to the skies. "Come on, I've abused two of your girlfriends now, grow some balls and help them."

...

"..." Tatsuya's head started to burn, he never felt his pissed at anyone, not even Nyarlathotep. "Damn you..." he closed his eyes, trying to block out the visions as Minato pounced on the defenseless female again. He heard Lisa scream out on the top of her lungs again and again and it drove the brunette insane. He had been running for weeks and every vision and thought of the fallen one fueled his desire to make it through the collective unconsciousness.

"Just wait..."

...

Minato picked Lisa up by her ankle and made his way to the same room where he had killed Tatsuya. He tossed the female on top of the dead body of Eikichi and let out a snicker. "One more to go..." he ticked off Lisa's name and called out to the Dark God. "Where does he live?" he couldn't wait to get his hands on Tatsuya's best friend. His body was quivering with excitement.

Nyarlathotep directed him towards Jun's house and Minato let out a grin when he stepped inside the house. He enhanced his vision with his Universe powers and easily located the male. Minato marched towards the room, not bothering to be stealthy, he had no one to worry about. Reiji wasn't in Sumaru and Maya was worthless.

Minato kicked the door down and the racket made Jun sprung up from his bed. "W-Who are you?" the older male asked as Minato widened his smile, standing in the doorway.

Minato tilted his head to the side as Jun cried out for help. "Hahaha, are you listening?" he mocked Tatsuya. "Another life you could save if you had any balls..."

"Help-" Minato shot like a bullet for the male and blinded him in one of his eye by a punch to his temple. Jun slumped to the ground, still calling out for help.

Minato kicked him in the ribs, relishing his screams of pain.

He grabbed the older male by his hair and tossed him against the wall. Jun slid down and Minato stalked forward, he couldn't believe how much he was enjoying this. "Best friend huh?" he spat, picking Jun up by his hair

"Let me go..." Jun cried, unable to see out of his right eye.

"Silence," Minato spat. "I'm not done with you..." and he dragged him away as Jun tried to claw and grab at everything that came in his grasp but the blue haired teen dragging him was insanely strong. He couldn't break free.

Minato sent Jun soaring through the air by a simple throw. The black male male crashed against a nearby tree and slumped down. Minato stalked forward and began stomping him all over his body. "Scream you worthless trash!" he demanded, cracking his bones with every stomp. Jun grasped Minato's ankle to stop but it didn't stop and only pissed the fallen one off further and he began stomping with more ferocity.

Minato pressed his sneakers against Jun's head and looked into the skies. "Come on!" he yelled at the skies, his eyes widening in utter hate. "Come on and save him, dammit!" he grabbed a hold of his hair and dragged him through the dirt, shoving his head against the mud occasionally. He was going to torture him all the way till the cave.

Jun started struggling midway, there was still life in him. Minato snickered, enjoying the feeble attempts. He even kicked Minato to break free but it didn't do shit. "Call for Tatsuya..." he demanded, kicking dust on his face which made Jun cough.

"I said, call for Tatsuya!" Minato demanded but Jun refused.

"I said, call for him!" Minato snapped and jumped on Jun, pressing his face against the wall. "Call for Tatsuya, ask him to save you."

Jun had too much pain to deal with and Minato's words went over him. Minato summoned another dagger and drilled it into his shoulder. He let Jun scream his lungs out. "Call for Tatsuya, call for that bastard. Beg him to save you."

"T-Tatsuya?" Jun said weakly. Minato punched him on the face.

"Yes, call for that son of a bitch! he'll listen to you," he punched him again, cracking his jaw. "Now, you worthless trash!"

"T-Tatsuya..." Jun managed to get out. "Help me..."

Minato smirked, looking at the skies again with a sneer. He looked back to Jun and prepared his fist again. "Good..."

...

"..." a dull ache spread over Tatsuya's heart and he nearly collapsed during the run. Jun was screaming on top of his lungs, he was getting brutalized. It didn't matter if he was a counterpart, he was still Jun and he was crying out to him, begging him to save him. "Jun..." the fallen one kept brutalizing his best friend and there wasn't a damn thing he could do.

"Tatsuya!" he heard the call for help once again and he stopped, panting hard.

"Yes, Tatsuya!" Minato's cruel laugh followed. "Help him, Tatsuya, help your filthy boyfriend." it was followed by another loud, helpless, terrified scream from Jun.

"Dammit, dammit, dammit!" Tatsuya clenched his fist, his face turning pale. "No, no, no!" he started running.

"Tatsuya!" his legs were starting to burn but he didn't give a shit. Minato's cruel laughs washed away every bit of the fatigue.

"Tatsuya!" Minato mocked. "Come out you coward, help your friends. I've got too much time to abuse them."

"..."

"Fucking Tatsuya," Minato spat. "That piece of shit doesn't have the balls to fight face to face." he heard his voice once more. "Scream you piece of shit." and Jun screamed out loud just like Minato wanted.

...

Minato cracked Jun's head against the rock and licked the blood on his finger tips. He was caked in blood, all over his face and body. He was surprised that Jun was still alive. He didn't mind it one bit, more fun for him.

Minato pressed his sneaker against Jun's face, driving his face into the dirt. "Man, you bitches sure scream a lot..." he mocked. He was standing outside the cave, Jun could barely see out of his other eye by this point. Minato had reduced him to a crying heap of a man.

The fallen messiah was about to assault him again but felt something hit him on the back, it stung. He also smelled gunpowder. "Huh..." he gave another kick to Jun and turned around to face the worthless persona user. "You bitch..." he sneered at Maya who stood defiant. She was actually here and that baffled Minato.

Maya growled at the fallen one. "Get off him!" she demanded and Minato let out a hollow laugh in response.

"Make me," Minato challenged. Maya shot him again and Minato easily dodged the bullet, slowly walking towards the female.

Maya tried shooting at him again and Minato casually avoided the bullets.

"Person-" this time, Minato rushed forward and drove Maya to the ground.

"No persona!" she was still weak, Minato could feel that her grip was worse than the last time. "Why did you even come here?" he sneered. "You'll get your turn," he punched her on the face. "Wait patiently!"

"Tatsuya!" Maya yelled on top of her lungs.

"HAHAHAHAHA!" Minato laughed on top of his lungs. "Oh my God..." he pulled on her hair. "Call for him again."

"Tatsuya, help!" Maya cried out to the brunette. She knew Naoya was gone, she wasn't strong enough to beat the bastard. "Help!" she yelled out to him once again, hoping that her voice would reach him by some miracle.

Minato saw tears in the corner of her eyes and laughed once more. "Man, you're pathetic..." he let go of the grip and stood up. "Cry some more, grovel bitch!" he demanded, looking at the skies. He knew Tatsuya was dead but he hoped, he honestly hoped that the fates would bring him back to stop him... or maybe Philemon would do something. He had killed two of his creations after all.

"You'll pay..." Maya couldn't get up anymore. "T-Tatsuya will make you pay..."

"That coward is dead," Minato reminded her. "I'd love for him to come back but lets face it, as much as I've abused and killed... he hasn't shown up."

"He'll come," Maya yelled back at him. "I know it! And he will kill your ass."

"Hahahaha!" Minato laughed again. "Let's try once again..." he pounced on Maya with clenched fists.

"Tatsuya!" Maya yelled out to him.

...

"No..." Tatsuya finally dropped to his knees but immediately stood up. Maya was screaming for him and he was still in the damn place, unable to do shit. He couldn't save them from here.

"..." he heard Maya and Jun yell his name at the same time and it was followed by the same cruel laugh.

"Let them go..." he whispered, sucking in a deep breath. Tatsuya's rage finally exploded and he finally yelled on top of his lungs like never before. His voice echoed across the entire realm and it finally reached the three in Sumaru. "LET THEM GO!"

...

"Let them go!" Minato froze in place after hearing the yell. He couldn't believe it, he recognized the voice instantly, the voice made his skin crawl, the voice was the last one he heard before he died. "Let them go!" the voice blared again, demanding Minato to let the two go.

The fallen one couldn't believe his ears, it really was Tatsuya, it was his blasted voice, no doubt about it. His face stretched into a devilish grin, he finally got his attention. "Took you a long while, bitch," he mocked. "Where are you, you piece of shit!?" he looked around with wide eyes. "Tell me so I can kill you one more time."

Tatsuya ignored the fact that Minato could hear him, he didn't care how it happened, he finally got the bastard's attention. "This is between you and me, you rotten bastard," Tatsuya cursed as Minato kept looking around for any sign of the brunette. "Leave my friends alone..."

"Tatsuya..." Maya sobbed, he was really there. "Save us..." she called out.

"Come out," Minato cussed, walking over to Jun and lifting him up by his head. "Save him, I begging ya man," he dared. "Save him, he can't even see properly."

"Put him down," Tatsuya yelled back.

"Make me," Minato shot back, summoning another dagger.

"NO! Stop it!" Tatsuya demanded but Minato grinned and plunged the blade right into Jun's chest, opening up a massive wound. Jun couldn't even scream in pain since he was so damaged. "..."

"Come on!" Minato dared him, as the voice went quiet. All he could hear was Maya bawling behind him. "COME OUT!" he demanded, dropping Jun to the ground.

"... I'm gonna get you," Tatsuya's voice cracked. "I swear on everything I hold dear... I'm gonna get you."

"They're all dead," Minato replied back. "Everything you hold dear is dead, you failed them."

"..."

Minato towered over Jun who was inches away from death. Maya was shivering just a few feet away from Minato. She was deathly scared right now.

"... I'm coming for your soul," Tatsuya's voice blared. "I swear, I'm gonna reduce you to the same mess you reduced my friends to!" his pitch grew louder and Minato enjoyed it.

"I'm waiting for you," Minato replied, holding his hands out as he switched to Satan. Fissures opened up beneath his feet and Minato let out a psychotic smirk. "I can't wait to kill you again."

"..." Tatsuya knew what he was doing. He had seen the attack before. He couldn't even get his voice out as blue flames shot up from the fissures.

"..." Maya was frozen solid as this point. She recognized the flames all to well. Jun was right in the middle of the attack.

"Stop it!" Tatsuya yelled at Minato, his voice cracking completely. Minato smirked as the flames reached higher and higher. He looked below, Jun was starting to burn.

"This is what you get," Minato said, looking at the skies again. The flames swirled around him, it brought back painful memories from the previous cycle. The previous cycle that came to an end because of Tatsuya. "I told you... everything you held dear would suffer..." he reminded. "I told you... don't fucking doubt me. All will perish..."

"..." Tatsuya let loose a stray tear. He had never cried before but right now... the anxiety was eating him up from inside. He couldn't hold it.

"Armageddon..." Minato let out a final snicker and the flames exploded.

"JUN!" Maya yelled on the top of her lungs as the flames completely consumed the two males. Jun didn't scream or yell. All she could hear was the bastard snickering and cussing out the brunette.

"..." Tatsuya shut his eyes close and started running once again. "You goddamn bastard!" he cussed out the fallen one who stood alone in the hellish flames with a blood-thirsty smirk on his face. "Your life is mine, don't you dare die before I get my hands on you..."

"Heh," Minato bit his lip to control the rage building inside him, Tatsuya's voice brought back so many memories. "You've killed me and I've killed you... we're both tied..." he growled. "Let's see who gets the last laugh!"

"Fuck you!" Tatsuya spat, letting lose another tear.

"Come and get me, bitch," Minato called the attack off. He didn't care how he returned or how his voice was reaching him. He didn't know where he was or what he was doing. All that mattered that Tatsuya had returned... he wanted to get his hands on the brunette once again.

"It's personal now," Tatsuya whispered. "You made it personal, you stupid son of a bitch." he had never cussed this badly before. He had never experienced such hate before.

"Sure it is," Minato replied, twirling around to see Maya cowering against the rock, her eyes puffy red. She couldn't see a trace of Jun. Not a single trace. She was barely hanging onto consciousness. Her soul was cracked from all that she saw.

Maya's vision blackened, her eyes still focused on the blue haired bastard. "... he'll get you..." her eyes rolled at the back of her head and Maya collapsed to the ground. "... Tatsuya.." she whispered, finally passing out.

Minato summoned a sword and looked at himself on the surface of the metal. He was covered in blood. "..." he couldn't believe the monster he had become... but he liked it. No pity and empathy made him stronger than ever before. He didn't give a shit about anyone anymore and that made him stronger. Not a single care in the world.

"I should have done this way back," he laughed to himself. "Are you still listening?" the brunette didn't reply back but Minato knew he was coming... and he looked forward to it.

"I'm waiting..." Minato said as he walked away, leaving Maya for dead.

"I'm coming..." Tatsuya said as he kept running.

"Heh..." Minato disappeared from Sumaru, finally returning back to the dorm.


Congrats on making it here... I mean really, that was hard to write but hype and bad blood. Also, for the one idiot (I know you're reading) who guest reviewed about how I should have Minato rape both Lisa and Maya, NO, that will never happen. I don't have any attachment to characters but you won't ever see a rape scene on my fic, its sickening to think about so NO again, no rape scene and I'd like if you stopped reviewing/spamming rape over and over, get a life.

Sorry bout that, but seriously, he spammed the same word over and over again. got me pissed a little bit.

Anyway, more hype and bad-blood. Only Maya and Reiji remain from the veterans... for now. As you read, Tatsuya and Minato finally had a talk and both of them are tied at 1-1, who will get the last laugh? you'll have to read and find out.

I know that I said that the next chapter could take a while but I couldn't help but write because of all the support. Thank you guys. Please keep it coming.

reviews reply.

Guest : did you feel bad for jun/tatsuya/maya here? i hope you did and I hope you keep supporting tatsuya since Minato is an antag. Hate him, pliz. :P lol. And thank you, I appreciate your support. Hope you keep enjoying.

MinatoxHamuko : Hamuko is no weakling, she's tough as nails. She might act like a giddy school girl around Minato but like I've said before, Hamuko is blessed in her own way by the fates. Hahaha, that's what I aim for. The closer she gets to him... the more despair for her in the end.

Yes! All abroad the tatsuya warwagon!

More fake fluff for you in this chapter. Thanks a lot.

Guest : Hahaha, I can see what you mean... although, I think this Minato is more ruthless than the one in BL... didn't know that was possible. hahaha.

FM Minato would kill him by a simple flick. This dude is prolly the most powerful version of him I've written.

Thank you! hope you keep enjoying the story.

Faceless reader : thank you man. hope to hear from you again.

Asahara : He doesn't care about anything man, he just wants to get rid of the cycle. Minato is haunted by memories and visions every second of his life, it eats him up. All the bad things, all the memories raped his mind 24/7. And it'll only get worse as time goes on.

Thanks for the review man. always nice seeing your reviews!

As always, please review... even tho this one is over the the top brutal, I'd love your views.

Quiz : who do you think is stronger? tatsuya or Minato? give it a guess.

Later peeps!
