A/N: Here's chapter 2. This one is different form the old one (of course) and it also introduce a new Character, as well as some new stuff in it. I hope this chapter dose well as the first (I'm not sure if I did good with this chapter but well see).
"I don't want a nerd telling me how to do my job, Kiria."
"Well, you better hope Maiko-san doesn't hire her then," Kiria countered "Depends if she wants to take the job is up to her and besides were always looking for people with the potential."
"Heh, heh if she even has the talent of becoming a Mirage Master let alone defend herself from one."
The sixteen-year-old Kiria rolled her eyes "Well let's hope it doesn't come to it then again we don't have a way of knowing unless she's on the news. Look, let's just go to Maiko and Tiki to see what they think of Futaba and her 'demonic' powers."
"Yeah, yeah whatever."
"Ma am, do you have a minute?" an adult male onlooker voice spoke to the teenage singer and tap on her shoulder.
Kiria stopped in surprise and slowly turned around, not expecting to encounter a total stranger. The man had a suit, a tie, glasses and everything for a worker but his eyes seem to almost lack in color and his suit is all bruised up.
"Um, can I help you," the sixteen-year-old Idol ask.
"Just a moment of your time..." the possess man hunched over and adjusted his glasses,"
"I'm sorry sir, but I'm busy," Kiria, turn around and was about to take her leave but she felt a firm hand grab her wrist.
"YOur nOt going anYwaye," as the man said that two more business men showed up with the same colorless eyes. "Sir Coco is very interested in you so pleased let us get you, Kiria Kurono."
Kiria wasted no time to grab and twist the zombie man's arm. She tosses him over to one of the other zombie men, knocking them both out which leaves one more.
The one possesses assailant charged at the girl singer. But Kiria countered with a round kick to the face which spun him to the ground.
Kiria then turned around to see the two men got back up and brought up their knives. The girl gritted her teeth, "How did I get into this kind of situations?" she thought, her eyes widen when she spotted a random girl of her peers sneak up to one of the males with a tranquilizer.
The girl grabs the possess man's small ponytail with her left hand while she shocked him to the ribs. The girl then round kicks him in the butt, he fell flat on his face.
One more last assailant turned around at the girl only to be shot by a tranquilizer gun and fell back to the ground, thanks to a random cope followed by three more.
Both girls are surprized to see the cops showed up at the scene but they found relief in seeing the cop's arresting the three Assailants. The crowd of people watched as the men were taken away from the scene.
"Are you all right?" the browned haired girl asked. Her winter school's uniform appears normal but without the standard blazer. Instead, she wears a black halter vest over a long sleeve white shirt with a turtleneck (which is different from normal turtlenecks for female students). She wears the regulation black and red pleated plaid skirt, black pantyhose and black-brown ankle boots.
"I find. Thank you, you're a big help," Kiria smiled at her helper.
"No problem, I'm glad I'm here to help."
"You wouldn't happen to work for the cops, have you?"
Makoto laughed "Nah, I don't work for them, even though I have been taught how to defend myself. I'm Makoto Niijima by the way, nice to meet you!"
"It's nice to meet you too, I'm Kiria Kurono," both girls shake hands.
One of the officers walked up to the girls, they turned their attention to the cope "The chief of police would like to have a word with you two. Don't worry, both of you are not in trouble."
Kiria and Makoto blinked but complied with the officer and followed him to HQ.
Police Station
Main hall
Both girls talk while they were escorted by the cops; Kiria learns from Makoto that her sister is the chief of police and that she is the student body president of Shuijin Academy. Makoto learns that Kiria is an Idol, which surprised her because she didn't think she can fight this well as an Idol.
They made it to the building and head inside, they caught a glimpse of the detective; presumably, Goro Akechi from the news, taking to a woman in gray hair.
"I insisted that you take on this case." Sea Niijima said.
Goro sighed, "I understand ma am but-"
"Saving & protecting innocent lives is a top priority. You're dismissed."
Goro nodded in defeat and tighten his tie, "Yes, ma am," and walked out the exit. He walked past two girls (caught a gimps of a girl he had seen before on entertainment weekly. Surface to say; he didn't think would see Kiria Kurono in the flesh and with Sea's kid sister.) As he went out the exit.
Sae walked up to the girls, "I've heard what happen, and are you hurt?"
"I'm fine sis. Look, I can explain-"
"Fine?" Sae looked at the officer, he nodded confirmation. She then stared at her sister, with disapproval, "Okay, that I can be thankful for, but what you did was reckless!"
Makoto sighed "But sis-"
"No buts, you could have gotten hurt, there have already been similar cases of-" The gray haired women trailed off, "For now on, leave the work to the professionals! Go straight home, I can't have you getting into any more trouble."
The younger sister looked down at the floor and nodded.
Makoto's elder sister closed her eyes and sighed, "Alright, alright I can at least reward you for helping out this special person. You can go about your business but after you're done head straight home."
Sae's younger sister face brighten, and bowed "Thank you, sis! I'm just going to hang out with my friends if that's okay with?"
"Sure, why not," the chef of police said flatly.
Makoto turned on her heel and walked out the exit, but before the brunette leaves she threw her new acquaintance (who was beside her) an apologetic smile, "It's nice to talking to you Kiria."
Kiria nodded, "it's nice talking to you too." and with that another new acquaintance head out the exit with a friendly wave, Kiria waved back.
"Kiria Kurono."
Kurono turned around to face the Police Chief.
"I would like to have a word with you, at my office, if you don't mind?"
"No problem at all," the singer bowed.
Chief singled the officer to go about his business and ask the Idol to follow her to her office.
Chief Sae's office
Kiria sat down on the guest chair, she waited for the older woman to speak. The chief is looking into her folders and signing some papers, this has been going on for a minute or two. Kurono fidgeted by clutching her knees, this has been an interesting day for her first she meets a girl (which Tharja think of her as a creepy nerd), then she meets her adopted father and mention of Ayaha's little sister.
"Miss Kurono, you're probably wondering why are you here after attacked those men openly?" Sae finally spoke up.
The turquoise hire girl snapped out of her thoughts, "That is correct ma am," she wanted to add her side of the story but for varies reason, she just couldn't yet.
Chief Sae smirked, "It's alright, and I know you're acting out on self-defense."
"...?"
"It's safe to say that you're not the only one that has been assaulted by those men, a similar incident has been occurring recently. And the entertainment industry sector is the hot spot."
So they're still investigating the incidents... If only they knew about the Mirage. Why isn't Tharja say anything? Kiria thought, "So what has this to do with me?" the singer inquired.
Sae rose up from her seat and looked out the window, "Earlier I've spoken to a Miss Shimazaki, with regards to the investigation. There was a possibility that you might be in danger so she warn me what will happen today and somehow she knew. So I have one of my men follow you, mind you, I did not expect my sister to be there when it happens. Hm. I'm surprised that one of Maiko's rare physio babble became true, she always liked to be a fortune teller."
"You know my boss?" Well, this is new, Kiria thought.
"I don't know her too well but years ago we been in class together," Sae turned to face the young Idol, "But enough of that, you have skills for an Idol Miss Kurono, which I'm impressed but the press would likely be here any moment-"
"Ma am, we have journos knocking on our door! Their asking about that singer girl beating up those guys." said via the speaker.
Sae grunted annoyed, "Alright, we'll be out in a moment." the woman said to another line, she rose up from her seat. "Well Miss, Kurono, looks spared you from the paparazzi. Now, do you know why I brought you here?" She said sarcastically to the Idol.
The Idol got up as well and looked back, "I guess."
"To be clear I'm only doing this as a small more fave for a friend and for my case or otherwise I would let you deal with it on your own." Sea gestured to the young female to the door.
"Um, thank you, I appreciate it, Ma am," Kiria said, though trying to hide the sarcasm in her voice. At the very least she can train herself with O&A before the convention tomorrow.
Five Hours later
Cafe Lablanc, almost closing time
{Play Persona 5 OST: The Sunset Bridge}
Morgana woke to form his naps with a yawn, he got up, stretched and swift his tail. He waited four hours, up in Akira's room, he should have been back by with his errand by now.
"Grr, you're killing me, man! You could of at least kept Kiria-sempai here and I would of... have her... Number-ugh forget it."
Well at least Futaba is here... what is she rambling about? I bet it's about new Idol chick again? The blue eyed cat thought, he jumped out of his crib and ran down stairs. He peeks out the door to listing to the conversation.
Futaba comically rests her head, and her arms, on the bar counter, as if she were drunk.
Sojiro Sakura was all dressed up for the night, (a tan suit, red tie, and tan hat) he gave her a somewhat reassuring smile, "Look on the bright side, there's always tomorrow."
She looked at her stepdad with an annoyed expression, "Yea but I got things to do in an MMO, not to mention that I have to finish my freaking resume. Ugh, I'm so conflicted right now!"
Sojiro shrugged at his adopted daughter, "Well, whatever you decide is up to you." he straightens his tie, "But I'm sure Kurono would be thrilled to see you there and not to mention that job."
Futaba's brows frown, she looked down and twiddled her fingers, "I know dad, I'm just a little nervous, that all," okay, that's a total lie, she's afraid that she might get the call to return to the Palace for a new mission and lose the once in a life time opportunity to work with her Idol and for filling her dream of being a programmer. When she joined the Phantom Thieves, it was about being a cool masked super hero, just like the Batman comics, she did not expect to run into her-
*Ring Ring*
Futaba stopped her mid thoughts when she heard someone opening the door. Futaba looked to her right to see her three friends come in, she waved at them, "Hey guys! How's goes that errand?"
"Lame."
"Pain," Ryuji said flatly. He sat on the stool and slumped on the counter. That Tatsumi guy had just worked them up like a dog and obviously hated Akira's guts.
"Well you should have lifted with your legs," Ann said.
"I meant it as a metaphor," He retorted.
"Yeah sure. But at least we got our money's worth."
Futaba notices a black haired little girl peeking shyly behind her older friends. The girl wore a white dress shirt, with a blue sleeved jacket, red skirt, long socks and brown shoes. She carried her Jack Frost backpack.
"So who's the kid?" The three friends looked from behind, Ryuji spoke up.
"Remember that kid on the newspaper last month? That's her."
"Really?" Futaba said stunned.
"..." 12th-year-old Tsubasa cringed a little.
"Hey, will you shut up? Don't remind her of that," Sojiro scowled at him, Ryuji flinched in response. The bartender then turns his attention towards the younger newcomer of the group, and smiled "You must be Oribe Tsubasa, my name is Mr. Sojiro, Asha and Tatsumi told me all about you."
Tsubasa walked forward, past Akira, Ann, and Ryuji. She quietly bowed.
"Well then, I hope you enjoy your two-week stay here, anything I can get for you before closing time? How about an Ice cream dessert" Tsubasa thought about it for a moment, she nodded her head.
Sojiro nodded back and put on his hat, "Coming right up! Akira, could you bring her suit case to your room and set up the bed for her."
"Yes sir," Akira replied and bowed, he offed Tsubasa her roller suitcase, which she did, and headed upstairs.
After Akira was up stirring the young girl, Tsubasa sat up the stool, she almost fell which was a close call, and sat beside the girl stranger with glasses. Futaba thought it be great to make a little conversation with the new kid, just to lighten the mood, she taped on the younger girl's shoulder for her attention.
"Hello, how are you?" The orange haired smiled.
"I'm... I'm fine," Tsubasa said with a sad frown, she didn't even look at the older girl.
"Oh that's great, my names Futaba Sakura, It's nice to meet you" Futaba and Tsubasa shack hands, "It's nice to meet you too."
"So do you like video games?" the older girl ask.
Tsubasa nodded, "I have an old UltraDrive system in my backpack."
"An UltraDrive? Awesome, maybe once Akria-Kun gets done up there, we hook it up on his T.V!"
"Um is he okay with it? I don't know him too well..."
"Well he better be okay with it or otherwise he'll have to hear it from me." Futaba teased and nudged the little girl's shoulder.
"..." Tsubasa sighed. She heard story's about Akira saving a girl from being robbed but he got in trouble for it and it some how made it a little embarrassing, since some of her class mates were making fun of her about it like if he was her elder brother. Not to mention her real eldest sister disappeared on that same night.
Sojiro came back with the ice cream dessert, "Here you go, best in the house."
The black haired twelve-year-old bowed her head, "Thank you Mr. Sojiro."
"Your welcome," he offered a small smile to the little girl. Akira came back to the scene, he adjusted his glasses, "I've set up the bed just like you ask."
"Good on you lad, well, I'm heading out for the night," The bartender put on his hat, "You kids hold the fort while I'm gone." and with that, he heads out the door.

Then Haru came rushing in, along with Makoto and Yusuke.
"Guys, guys! You're not gonna believe what I've just heard on the news!" The half French girl was enthusiastically.
Meanwhile at Kiria room
{Play Persona 4 OST: New Days}
"Tharja, why did you not say anything, when I could have gotten killed?" A disgruntled Kiria was in her own training, hitting her wooden dummy with her Bo stick. She wore a white tank-top and blue jeans. She was speaking to her Mirage Partner, Tharja, while she was training with the dummy.
"I had nothing to add to that scenario."
"Of course, but it would have HELPED a little! We're partners, remember?"
"You mean my early warning system? Don't flatter yourself, like you really need my help fending off the demons."
"Demons?"
The Idol heard Tharja chucked, "I sense a similar dark energy from those guys while you were beating them up. It's almost like their body and mind was taken over."
"Like the Mirage..." the singer mused and relaxed, "Chefe Sae did say that a crazy cult has been trying to target entertainers, Actors, and Idols, including myself."
"That lady aslo said that some of her people are going to come over to the Idol Convention at Daitamba Observatory to expect the security."
"Well, duh. Things have been pretty weird as of late."
"At lest you get to show off your bad skills in public."
"Good thing I'm getting more positive buzz as an Idol." Kiria shot back, and laughed "Plus Maiko-san said that all our tickets have been sold out for the event."
Tharja grunted, "No doubt the creepy nerd girl is going to be at the event tomorrow."
Kiria rolled her eyes at Tharja's 'creepy nerd girl' comment. She stops with her training and picks up her blue towel to whip the sweat on her face.
*Ring*
The Idol pick up her phone on the floor, she looked on the small screen to see Tiki sending her a massage.
[Topic Message]
Tiki: Kiria-san! I've heard what happen, are you okay? Are you hurt?
Kiria: Don't worry, Tiki, I'm fine. Maiko-san called me earlier, she told me that you can see through time. Is that true?
Tiki: Thank goodness, I was worried about you! Oh, and yeah I actually can do that but it's limited.
Kiria: Limited?
Tiki: Yup, limited. I examined the Meloc Gem you gave me and it transforms into white vaper, it swirled around me while I started to have limited visions of the future, it vanished afterward.
Kiria: I see. What kind of vision did you have, other than saving my life?
Tiki: I'm sorry that's a really difficult question to answer, it's kind of a secret. However, I will say that we will meet new faces along with our journey.
Kiria: That's not much of a prediction, I've met this girl who Tharja calmed to have demonic powers, today.
Tiki: Demonic powers? What's the girl's name?
Kiria: Her name Futaba Sakura.
Tiki: Futaba huh? Is she a friend of yours?
Kiria: Yeah, well, sort of... I do like her though, I think she might have the same potential as me, Barry and Maiko. I spoke with Maiko-san about her, Futaba might be able to solve our problem with the vocal software. She's coming to the event to meet with me and Maiko about the tech job.
Tiki: That's great! I hope Maiko hire's her, I'm betting that she will since you and Tharja said that she has a strong Performa. Also, I would like to meet her too!
Kiria: Yeah, oh, about Futaba's Performa. Tharja also claimed that her performa has evolved somehow.
Tiki: Well... Tharja is not wrong about that. A Human's Performa can evolve into a more strong entity called a Persona.
Kiria: A Persona...?
Tiki: Think of Performa as an egg and the Persona as the chicken. The Mirage is the fox, which wants to eat the egg and the chicken. The said chicken can defend itself, from its own kind but not from a fox. I think that person is a Persona User but I don't think she's a demon.
Kiria: I... so Futaba... hey can I talk you more about this some other time?
Tiki: Oh, um, okay sure, I'll brief you more details about it, tomorrow. :3
Kiria: Sounds good. :)
[Topic Massage end]
Kiria stood up and stretched her reeling all the information.
"I knew their something odd about that nerd. She must have sent her people after you." Tharja said sarcastically.
"Very funny, now shut up. I'm going to take a shower and possibly do some training before tomorrow's event."
"Whatever you say."
{Stop Persona 4: New Days OST}
The Police Station
Interrogation room
"This world will soon become the dominion of the great and powerful Fell Dragon," A possessed man in an Insane Asylum clothing said.
"Fell dragon, huh? I'll leave a note to that. Anything else?" The male Police officer inquired.
"We are helping our Dragon God is collecting Performa. The dragon has already found a host."
Sae Niijima watches through the mirrored glass with the young blond haired female detective, Kamui.
The newcomer wore a costume similar to what Sherlock Holmes used to wear; a simple brown hat with ear flaps and ribbon ties, a brown coat with attached cape, and buttons at center front. Underneath she wore a black suit with a black tie and brown dress pants.
Sae had already sent Goro on his way but Kamui had arrived fashionably late (as usual), and she usually the best detective she has on the force. Kaumi had finally arrived from her Kyoto case and now she's here, ready to finally tackle this Mass disappearance debacle that's has been going on for a mouth.
"What can you make of this, Kamui," The Police chief asks crossing her arms as she watched the interrogation through the glass.
Kamui shrugged, "He mentions the fell dragon, and he must be from the fell triad."
The older woman raised a brow at the detective, "The Fell Triad? I hear they have been dispanned from Hong Kong long ago."
"They could be some former members hear at Tokyo, do you know any one of the members I can talk to?"
Sae nodded, "Sure I'll-"
"THE WORLD WILL BE SAVE, LONG LIVE GRIMA!"
Sae and Kamui jumped as they caught the sight of the crazy man struggling officer Kim with his bare hands. Soon more cops came in and tried to restrain him but things have started to get violent, the crazy man stole a gun from cope and was about to shoot the glass.
The police chief and the detective was about to duck until Kim tackled him on the ground.
Sae sighed in relief, "Well I guess that's taken care of..." the women dusted off her skirt, "As I was saying before I will give you the former Triad member's addresses."
Kamui face brighten, forgetting about that struggled that happen earlier, "Thank you ma am, I won't let you down!" the blond girl salute to her chief.
Chief Sae nodded to her detective, now all is left is for the security for the Idol to run smoothly and if not she is bound to find something interesting about the Fell Dragon Triad.
