A/N; So… Yep second persona 5 crossover, this idea popped in my head and litterally can't get it out. So here we are. And for the sekirei fans reading this, This has quite a bit of Au stuff some small some kinda big but not too much I hope. For clarity Natsuo isn't the disciplinary squads Ashikabi. And for the Persona fans that means nothing so on relevant persona info, this before Strikers. And the third semster is… a possible thing to explore at a different time. Also, I'm gonna call Joker Ren to avoid personal confusion. Also I'm using the Rens parents are terribe people head canon, and I am gonna try to get the characters as in character as possible. But if I go OOC I'm sorry. So without further delay lets start.

edit (11/28/2021): I guess to be clear when I said "the third Semester is a possible thing to explore ar a different time." I meant essentially it hasn't happened yet.

Chapter 1: the start of another game.

"Wth Man RenRen, your parents are shipping you off to another trip to tokyo?" Ryuji texted in the phantom thief chat room. He sighed and texted back confirmation. his parents sent him on another trip to Tokyo for a "life experience" citing American movies. In reality they couldn't even face him again after treating him so poorly after he was cleared of all charges.

"Well at least Ren will be closer." Haru's

text popped up trying to be positive. This time his friends were all over the place rather than just near shabiya. Though even he wasn't near shibuya.

"Yeah, we can be with him in no time when we get free time!" Ren smiles seeing Futaba's text followed by agreement from the rest of the thieves. Already they were saying what times they had free time trying to sync up their schedules for a visit.

"And remember you have me around as well." Morgana's head poked up from Ren's bag. And a few confused passengers on the train looked around and mumbled about hearing a cat.

"Ah! M-meow." Morgana said, causing Ren to chuckle at Morgana's habit. Even if he was being sent to Tokyo again this time he had to figure out housing himself not that he'd tell the others that. Though that should not be too hard, he still had a lot of money and treasures from his time as a phantom thief plus his parents said they'd send money for him to pay rent if he got an apartment over heading to LeBlanc. At least he'd have plenty for an apartment while he found a job. Though what should he look for apartment wise.

"Hey Ren the trains stopped." Morgana said, pulling the teen out of his thoughts. Ren grabbed the bag with the "not" cat in it and left the train looking around at the bustling city around him. Though he felt like he was being watched, was he being tailed by the police again? Ren looked around but didn't see anyone.

"Odd." Was all Ren said before walking further into the city. Adjusting his fake glasses as he did so.

~~~~Take your time~~~~

Minaka was at his computer in front of a giant wall of screens broadcasting camera feeds from several sites in tokyo. Starting last preparations for the Sekirei plan to start in earnest but there was a small issue. "How come I can't find anyone to be the ashikabi of the disciplinary squad." A game is fun but rule breakers are not. A game is not interesting without someone to enforce the rules. But the issue isn't with finding Sekirei it was more finding an Ashikabi. None of them were interesting enough, or useful enough to use.

He heard a sigh coming from nearby. Turning he saw the only current member of the disciplinary squad there as he planned on letting the Ashikabi find the rest. Sekirei No. 4 Karasuba holding her Katana to her side and moving her thumb along the hilt. "When will this "game" start? It's getting boring waiting." She said not being allowed to fight until the plan got into action.

"Bloodthirsty as always, rest assured you will be able to let it out soon." It was then he took notice of Karasuba who was previously lazily looking at the screen tense up. Subtle following her gaze he saw on screen a slightly disheveled young looking man with glasses barely showing dark grey eyes, short black hair, and a black outfit walking away from the train station.

"Something interesting about that boy?" Minaka coyly said pointing to the screen. Karasuba's grip on her Katana tightened. He already guessed what it was. The human averse Sekirei had found her destined one and had a reaction.

The confliction on her face was apparent.

"No." Karasuba all but shouted walking away with a noticeable pace. Minaka held back a mischievous laugh. As he started bringing up info on the boy he spotted. Such things were surprisingly trivial even for a company as big as the MBI.

'Ren Amamiya huh?' Minaka's smile wildeded as he continued reading 'oh you'll be perfect.'

~~~~Take your time.~~

Ren continued walking, the feeling of being watched not at all vanishing. "Morgana, is it just me or do you feel like we're being watched?" Ren said, trying his best to look around subtly.

"Yeah, now that you mention it. Could it be a police tail?" Morgana said his head poking further out the bag looking around easier then Ren can.

"Possibly. I just wish they'd leave me alone." Ren sighed and rubbed his neck. It'd be a pain to lose the police again. This time without any help from his friends. Ren took in his surroundings and saw a black car nearby. 'Well if that doesn't scream police tail I don't know what does.'

Ren motioned to the car subtly to indicate to Morgana to keep an eye on it..

"What the hell, coming after you again for no reason!" Morgana bristled with disdain. While Ren was walking away, out of the corner of his eye he saw a woman with grey hair in a ponytail, a black uniform with a miniskirt and a grey haori with some sort of crest on it.

He felt something as she stared at him, like a Cat staring at their prey before the pounce. With something else he couldn't place. And he thought he saw a hilt. But someone passed by her breaking line of sight for just a split second and just like that she was gone.

'What?' Was all Ren could think. She didn't look like the police. But something about her felt off to Ren. Nearly avoiding someone while lost in thought he rubbed his neck, he likely wasn't gonna solve this alone and he needed a place to think. 'Time to go apartment hunting.'

~~~~Take your time~~~~

Ren sighed walking in the dark of the night, apartment hunting was a pain. Either they didn't accept pets, as much as it dismayed Morgana to be called a pet,

Or thought Ren looked too shady to rent too. "Man, your name's been cleared. But people are still judging you." Morgana sighed, clearly just as displeased. Perhaps he should just head to Yongen-Jaya for the night and stay with Sojiro. Checking the map and time on his phone, it seems like it's almost time for the trains to stop running so he better decide soon.

That was when he heard something down an alleyway that sounded like a whimper, checking down an alley he saw a thuggish looking male pinning a scrawny looking boy to a wall and demanding money.

Ren clutched his hand into a fist. Morgana growled as well, and Ren's body moved on its own. "Huh?" The thug said before heaving as Ren tackled him. As much as Ren looked thin, he was surprisingly muscular from several workouts and flexibility training with Kasumi.

The thug fell over hitting the back of his head as the scrawny boy was confused. "Go." Ren said, motioning towards the alleyway exit. The kid quickly ran as the thug got up.

"You asshole, didn't your parents teach you to mind your own business." The man yelled at Ren. Ren shrugged.

"Guess the lesson never stuck." Ren quipped. 'I got the kid away now all I need is to make an exit myself.' That's when the thug looked like they got an idea.

"You know if you give me your money, I won't go to the cops and sue for assault. That kid will be easily intimidated as well." Theh said feeling the back of their head they withdrew their hand the tip of their fingers covered in a small amount of blood. Ren gritted his teeth feeling a painful sense of deja vu.

"don't do it, he'll just continue to black mail you. Sae will help without a doubt." Ren had to stop himself from shaking. He agreed with Morgana,

But it still scared him.

Ren shook his head and the thug looked ready to punch him. "I have no money for scum like you." Ren glared at the thug. Ready to defend himself in case the thug did attack.

"Tch, see you in court." The thug said, starting to walk down the alley. They walked a few steps past Ren who was still glaring at them before they stopped. "Hrk!" The thug said suddenly his hand went to his throat.

Ren didn't see what happened. But the thug's throat started bleeding massively as it had been slit. And Ren heard a playful yet chilling chuckle.

"That was so boring. I wonder if you could entertain me~." A sarcastic voice rang out and Ren turned around to see the woman from before with a sword drawn and covered in blood. And standing in front of the only exit. As buildings blocked off the alleyway ending behind him.

He felt immense bloodlust from this woman. He moved his bag behind him and held tightly to put himself as a shield between the woman and morgana. Who tried to escape his grasp. "Hey! Let me go! I can help!" Morgana yelled. Ren knew it was hopeless, the girl seemed something beyond human, letting Morgana out would simply get both killed. If it was in the meta-verse…

Ren quickly glanced down at his clothes… nope still normal. With that hope dashed the girl walked towards him lazily swinging her sword. Ren just glared at her defiantly. If she was gonna kill him he wasn't gonna go being terrified. He knew that was likely what she wanted.

The girl was within arms reach and her sword edge moving against Ren's throat as Morgana's struggling got more intense. "Oh no begging, screaming or even a hint of fear?" The girl asked mockingly.

Ren stayed silent, less out of fear and more because he wasn't gonna fall for such goading. The girl laughed "oh you are an interesting one Ashikabi-Kun~." the girl said her tone getting even more playful as Ren's face turn'd to one of confusion. Which intensified as the girl kissed him passionately.

"Mmph!" Ren said, still very aware of the blade at his throat… then he saw behind the woman Black ethereal wings. Before he heard a familiar noise and heard a voice in his subconscious that he hasn't heard in a long time.

I am thou... Thou art I...

Thou hast acquired a new vow...

It shall become the wings of rebellion

That breaketh thy chains of captivity.

With the birth of the Hunger Persona

I have obtained the winds of blessing that

shall lead to freedom and new power…

A/N: And that's the first chapter. On the Shorter end all things considered. But I'm still… new to writing stories so hopefully as I work on my stories that will get better. Hopefully I don't go insane writting this. Because I feel like keeping Karasuba specifically in character is gonna drive me mad. Let alone keeping everyone else in character. Probably doesn't help I plan for the next chapter will be told at least 90% from her P.O.V. And oh and for any fans of the other phantom thieves… I have plans for them.
