I said before, I usually start when i get 10-12 but I was hoping to get this one out because I dunno when I'll be able to update again.
Hanae : Glad you enjoyed it. And don't worry, still 15-20 chapters to go.
Raze Olympus : Yup, Minato beat him... but more so, he broke him. That's a good question and you'll have to read and find out. I don't think he's needed for the seal but he is Minato's ultimate persona... if he doesn't get that, he's kinda screwed.
Xaxiel : Dude, he is a tsundere... he just doesn't know it himself.
Guest : I appreciate that, glad you enjoyed his return and I have to admit, it felt weird writing him so normal... hahaha, thanks again!
Okay, two points.
1) For those who follow this for plot and battles, you might want to skip this.
2) This chapter is rated, really, really M so just putting it out there.
Here we go.
Minato walked up to the mirror and smiled at his reflection. After so many weeks of looking like an ugly handmade doll, he was looking normal. While he never admitted it to his friends, people calling him Frankenstein and taunting him for so deformed and ugly made him cry every time, taking into account that he was friends with some of the most popular students in the school.
"This will take care of the self esteem issues," Minato said. "Who the fuck am I kidding? I look fucking awesome, anyone who disagrees is a goddam hater."
Due to his injuries, he even stopped using the soap and had to cut the number of baths because his body couldn't the handle the cold or burn very well. After returning from the graveyard, Minato bathed for hours to remove the filth and dried blood present on his face and body.
"Minato Arisato is back, bitches," the blunet announced out loud, observing his usual winter attire instead of those ugly, baggy clothes he was forced to wear. "There hasn't been a psycho like me walking this earth."
After putting on his double breasted jacket over his turtle neck sweater, he hung his mp3 player around his neck and looked down at the mess of strings that he had pulled out of his body and the blood loss that followed. "Ooops," he cleaned his boots against the ground and carefully moved away from the filth.
It was morning and he was sure everyone else was awake too. Seeing nothing else to do, Minato opened the door to his room and walked out.
"You're up,"
Minato blinked and looked ahead to see Sho resting against the door to Junpie's room. The redhead glanced up at his leader and gave a small smirk, happy to see that the blunet was back in his regular clothes without those stupid accessories.
"I'm not going to battle you right now," Minato said flatly. "I've missed Christmas with Hamuko because of that scum sucking piece of shit bastard-"
Sho cackled in delight, beyond happy to know that Minato was as foul mouthed as before. Minato cursing like a sailor with a blood thirsty glare on his face brought back so many memories and tears to his eyes-
Okay, not really tears but he was happy regardless.
"Good to see you up, you psychotic bastard," Sho grinned and held his fist up.
"Heh, good to see too ya scarred bitch," Minato said and bumped his fist with Sho. "For real, I have to thank you for saving me from Makoto back then and for joining the team."
"I wanted you alive so I could kill you more brutally!"
"And thank you for heading on to face Ryoji and give us time,"
"I knew I could kill him easily!"
"Hahahaha!" Minato couldn't help but laugh and soon enough, Sho started laughing too as this was their special way of demonstrating friendship and brotherly love.
After another fist bump, the two went down the steps with Sho mocking him for being weak and Minato reminding him how he got his ass kicked.
"Bro!"
Minato stopped as Junpei, Akihiko and Ken ran up to him and got in his personal space but unlike before, he didn't seem to mind. He smiled at his friends and greeted them a happy new years.
Junpei sized him up from head to toe and grinned. "Don't tell the boys at school I said this but... you look good, man." he said, giving Minato a thumbs up. "Like really, good to see you back."
"You're back where you belong," Akihiko smirked. "Don't get mad but you were always our real leader."
"And for the record, I still look up to you senpai," Ken said. "What you did last night was amazing!"
"I appreciate it guys," Minato smiled back at them, shaking hands with Junpei and Akihiko and then patting Ken on the head. "I wouldn't have done that if it wasn't for you guys."
"Never though I'd be able to see New years but here we are!" Junpei yawned loudly. "I wanted to stay up and watch those amazonian girls movie but I ended up sleeping like a sloth."
"I kept awake," Sho said. "Training my ass off."
"That explains the noises," Akihiko muttered. "But really, you were training!? After barely surviving against the God of Death? Something is wrong with you."
"You know you got issues when Akihiko of all people scolds you about training," Minato chuckled. "But I get why you were training Sho, keep doing it because catching up will take a while."
"We'll see about that," Sho said with a competitive grin.
"Hey, where is everyone else?" Minato said, looking around. "The team moment would be a lot better with the rest around."
"I have no idea," Junpei replied. "I did hear the door opening about an hour ago."
"Hamuko-san and the others have went to the shrine," Ken explained.
"Oh," Junpei nodded. "How about we watch that amazon girl movie, huh guys-"
"They're all wearing kimonos," Ken added and Junpei stopped, turning towards the door in a split second.
"I'll have to buy the DVD from the store-"
"Hold it right there!" Minato scowled, his cold voice and aura stopping Junpei from budging an inch. "Everyone one of us is going along, I couldn't do it last time and I love you like a bro but stare at Hamuko for more than 5 seconds and you'll be going down on the spot."
"Hahahaha," Junpei rubbed the back of his neck, swinging an arm around Minato's shoulder. "I see your psycho self is back but bro for real... You aren't going to dowse me in alcohol again, right?"
Akihiko zapped next to him and chuckled. "And you won't snap and start burning buildings, right?"
"And you won't get pissed and attack everyone for the slightest of reasons, right?" Ken gave a nervous laugh.
"Make me proud!" Sho yelled. "Tell me you'll all that and then some!"
Minato closed his eyes and chuckled. "You guys better sleep with one eye open." he announced, draining the color from their faces while simultaneously making Sho real proud.
"D-Dude!?" Junpei gawked.
"I'm just kidding, guys," Minato laughed, slapping the capped teen on the back. "I'm not lying, if it wasn't for you guys, I would be dead. I'll focus my anger on people who deserve it."
"Glad to hear that," Akihiko sighed in relief. "Well, let's get going."
Sho grumbled under his breath and followed the others out of the dorm and soon as they stepped out, they covered themselves up with scarfs to stand the cold.
"Hmm," Minato noted the area was deserted. He stayed awake the entire night and listened to a number of radio stations talking about the moon falling out of place. He also heard a number of people running out to the streets and chanting that doomsday was coming. "Makes sense this would happen."
"Let's just go," Junpei urged. "We deserve one day of rest before we get our asses back to training."
Sho was offended.
"Right," Minato nodded. His school, social and love life was beyond shit in the past few weeks and this was the day to set some of it right. "To the shrine!"
"Hamu-tan will be real happy to see you like this," Junpei said. "She was hoping to see this side of you again."
"Huh, is that right..." Minato said and followed his friend to the shrine.
...
After walking up the steps to the shrine, Minato was happy to see a couple of people were there, along with a few stalls for food and other stuff. It was good to see that not everyone was dreading the consequences of the moon falling.
"So this is a festival, huh?" Sho said. "Is the food here free?"
"Nope," Minato gave a few yens to Sho. "But feel free to eat as much as you want."
"Sweet!" Sho grinned.
Minato was busy looking around the shrine until he heard a yell.
"Minato!"
"Here they come!" Junpei sighed. "Bless this morning."
Minato turned around and was immediately tackled by a reddish blur that latched onto his frame. He stumbled for a few seconds but was able to remain standing.
"It's so good to see you like this!" Hamuko cried, hanging off his neck. She looked up at his bruise free face and giggled. "You're lucky I was cute enough for the both of us!"
"Good morning to you too," Minato greeted back.
Hamuko backed off and spread her arms. "Um, how do I look?" she asked and then turned around. "I've never worn this before so..."
"You look great," Minato smiled. He looked over to the other females and smiled at them too. "All of you look nice."
"Thank you," Yukari sighed. "That is how you compliment, Stupie!"
"Good to see you without blood on your face," Mitsuru chuckled. "You did us all a favor by healing yourself."
"Made me cry a few times," Fuuka admitted.
"I feel great," Minato responded, clenching and relaxing his fist. "I said this to them too but thank you, without you folks, I would have died."
"Also, is it true that you aren't wearing-" Ken was about to ask something until Junpei clasped his mouth shut and dragged him away to a toy stall.
"Hehehe, nothing Minato," Junpei gave a broken grin to his best friend and took Ken away.
"..."
"So..." Sho started. "Are you wearing anything under those robes?"
"Fuck you!" Minato spat.
"HA. HA!" Sho cackled.
"We should enjoy this instead of fighting," Akihiko said, looking embarrassed due to some reason. "I'm going for some protein shakes."
"I am surprised they even bothered setting this up," Mitsuru said. "After what happened to the moon..."
"I read a few headlines. They are calling it the end of the world," Fuuka said. "A lot of the comments agreed."
"Nice to see not everyone is like that," Yukari said. "Come on, we should enjoy before making our wishes!"
Hamuko grabbed Minato's wrist and dragged him away.
"Glad you took care of those wounds and stitches," Hamuko said, stopping next to a takoyaki stall. She asked for 2 and then turned around to face Minato. "What did you did last night was magical."
"Long story," Minato replied. "But for the first time ever... I feel at peace."
"You looked way too relaxed," Hamuko said. "I can't explain my happiness when you started beating the shit out of Ryoji. I needed to see you do that."
"Heh, I did that for you, for our friends... and our parents," Minato said quietly.
"I'm sure they're at peace," Hamuko smiled softly. "Especially your parents, their boy stood up this time and did them proud."
"We're missing someone though," Minato sighed. "Aigis, I mean... I thought she'd be back by now."
"Don't worry," Hamuko assured. "She will be back soon, Ryoji just damaged her way too badly but the team is working on her day and night."
"I hope so," Minato replied. "I know she had a hand but I can't seem to hate her... I hope she comes back soon so we can have a talk..."
Hamuko took the two orders of takoyaki and handed one to Minato. "I'm glad we can eat this together again!" she cheered and dug into the food. "Come on, chow down I know you missed this!"
Minato obliged and started eating, savoring the taste of his most favorite food which he had to quit eating because of his cut up tongue and mouth.
The two ate in peace, casually talking about the battle last night and about their upcoming final battle.
After a while, Hamuko got a small smile on her face as most of the crowd started leaving.
"So..." Hamuko said as Minato took another serving of takoyaki. "There is still one wrong that you have to right, ya know?"
Minato looked at her and was surprised to see her giving him a coy smile. "What do you mean?"
"Oh come on," Hamuko said softly. "You remember, it was going pretty well... until I ended up breaking your ribs."
Minato choked on the ball of takoyaki and pulled back upon remembering that night. Hamuko giggled as he stumbled backwards before gawking at her, looking around to make sure nobody heard that or else someone had to die.
"We can pick where we left off!" Hamuko sang.
"Hamuko..." Minato groaned, looking away from her.
"Come on," Hamuko leaned closer and ran her finger over his lip, cleaning the little bit of sauce present. "How long are you planning to ignore me now?"
Minato watched on as Hamuko brought up her finger to her lip and licked the sauce off, freezing Minato in place. He gulped and started looking around once more, making sure nobody caught that.
"We missed Christmas because of Ryoji," Hamuko whined. She popped a ball of takoyaki into her mouth and swallowed it quickly. "Our love life went to hell in the past few months."
Hamuko brought the fork up and sucked it clean from the sauce in front of his eyes, smiling at Minato who hid his face into his hands. He snatched the empty box and the damn fork, tossing it far away before glaring at her.
"Ooops, did I agitate you, Minato?" Hamuko giggled. "That was a completely innocent provocation, I swear."
"Dammit," Minato scowled and dragged her away. He came back into the middle and yelled.
"Junpei!" the blunet yelled.
"Yukari!" Hamuko sang, calling her best friend.
Junpei answered his call and went over to Minato with Sho following after him since the two were busy discussing something.
"You called?" Yukari said, stopping next to Hamuko.
"What's up dude?" Junpei asked.
Minato rubbed his face and sighed. "Something is going down tonight..."
"I don't get it," Junpei blinked.
"She is," Minato said in a whisper, pointing over to Hamuko. "In my room."
"No no," Hamuko shook her head. "My room!"
"A-Are you?" Yukari blinked rapidly.
"Guys-" Junpei gulped.
"Yes, I am going to bang Hamuko later on," Minato said bluntly. "Nobody should interrupt or know about it or else it will be your ass."
Before Yukari and Junpei could respond, Sho spoke up, startling Hamuko who had no idea he was so nearby.
"Hey, I can get behind that!" Sho declared, nodding seriously at Minato.
"What...?" Minato stared at him. Sho was behind that...?
"In fact, I'd like to join in," Sho admitted.
"What the hell are you doing here!?" Hamuko cried. "Go away dammit, just go away!" she demanded, flushing red in embarrassment.
"You aren't touching Hamuko," Minato warned, now glaring at the redheaded male. "One touch and I'll rip your dick-"
"Hamuko?" Sho blew a raspberry. "Who said anything about Hamuko? I want you!"
What.
The.
Hell?!
"Oh my GOD!" Yukari cried in horror as several graphic images regarding the two and swords formed in her vulnerable mind.
Junpei took a step back. "I-I knew it!"
"I don't swing that way," Minato said as Hamuko jumped in front of him to protect him from Sho.
"You will swing my way, dammit!" Sho snapped.
"Stop it!" Minato spat. "This bromance is okay at times but you won't be touching me like that."
"I'll be touching you all day and night!" Sho said with determination. "Now shut up and head back home, take a good shower and warm up..."
"Stop it please," Yukari begged. "Don't say anything else."
"Dude, stop," Junpei pleaded. "Two psychos should NOT feel that way towards each other."
"Get your eyes off Minato!" Hamuko yelled. "He's mine!" she never thought that Sho would actually become a rival in her love! But back of her mind, she knew it would come down to this eventually.
Sho ignored the rest and opened his mouth to talk further. "Strip into something light..."
"Stop..." Minato ordered.
"Come to my room..."
"I said stop..."
Sho grinned.
Minato frowned.
"..."
"Stop it already!" Junpei cried.
"Pull your sword out and we can finally get to battle!" Sho yelled with a competitive grin, leaving the others in stunned silence before the other four groaned and nearly collapsed to the ground.
"Oh God," Yukari sighed. "Thank God!"
"That's what you mean?" Hamuko thundered, nearly lunging at him. "Go back to school please and learn how to talk!"
"What? I want to bang too!" Sho hissed. "What's wrong with that?"
Minato slapped his forehead and gestured Junpei to tell Sho what he actually meant. Junpei nodded and started whispering the details into Sho's ear, visibly souring his mood as his smile melted into a disappointed frown.
"Oh," Sho said after a pause. "Ew..."
"Eat a dick Sho!" Minato hissed and turned to Junpei. "Long story short, we need to spend the night alone. Don't let anyone know and I swear if someone interferes or stands outside her room, I won't kill you but something terrible will happen."
"What if Mitsuru-senpai finds out?" Yukari asked, looking at the senior from afar.
"I don't care," Minato shrugged. "Best case, she doesn't find out or else!"
"I'll see what I can do," Junpei said, scratching the back of his head. "Why are you telling us this?"
"Need I remind you what happened the last time?" Minato frowned. "I'd rather not tell you at all but I don't want a disaster like last time. Telling you in advance, my perfect night or your ass."
"Stay away from me!" Hamuko screamed at Sho and ran off to wish at the shrine.
Minato looked at Sho and sighed. "Might have to castrate you just to keep her calm."
"Is that another word for battle?" Sho asked. "Sounds like it!"
"Stop already!" Minato stomped the ground and went off to join Hamuko.
Yukari ran off quickly, partly in disgust, partly in fear.
Junpei stayed behind with Sho and patted his back. "Damn, if you don't Minato to fight, I'm sure Hamu-tan will oblige pretty soon."
Sho scoffed. "About that amazon movie..." he trailed off.
...
The teenagers made their wishes and started leaving the shrine. Minato looked towards the graveyard and smiled softly, having placed flowers on their beforehand.
"What did you wish for Fuuka?" Yukari asked.
"I wish for a great new year," Fuuka giggled. "It's a bit generic but that's what I really want."
"I wished for the same thing!" Yukari laughed.
"Me too," Hamuko added.
"That's what I wished for as well," Mitsuru chuckled. "But it wasn't a plea for help, I know that we will be victorious."
"Damn right," Sho said. "I wish for the same thing and I can't believe that!"
"We'll be fine," Minato assured. "As long you can get up and punch Nyx in the mouth, we'll be fine."
"Proven last night," Junpei laughed. "We should get going guys... uh..." he looked at Hamuko and Minato, gulping and looking away quickly. "I have stuff to do."
...
Much to Minato's ire, the team came back and slept for most of the afternoon, which meant they were going to stay up late night.
"Just keep it down," Junpei said. "Mitsuru will probably not hear."
"Is something going on?" Mitsuru said, just walking past them.
"N-Nothing!" Junpei straightened up. "I was asking Minato to teach me maths!"
Mitsuru frowned.
"I mean, train me, that's it!" Junpei corrected himself, giving a broken smile to his senior. "That's it."
"Right," Mitsuru gave him a suspicious glance and walked off.
Minato patted his back. "You're a true bro, Junpei."
"Be honest, even if Mitsuru finds out, will you be concerned?" he asked. "I mean... you're Minato! Are you seriously worried?"
"Well... Not really," Minato admitted, shrugging his shoulders. "Bottom line, nobody better interfere. I don't care if the whole city knows about it, I can easily maim whoever come close to Hamuko."
"Good to have you back man," Junpei sighed. "I kinda missed your shit talking."
Minato chuckled and sat next to him on the couch, chatting about usual stuff until Hamuko tip toed her way onto the second floor and beckoned Minato over with her fingers.
"Good luck, man," Junpei said as Minato stood up.
"Good luck keeping the others away," Minato scoffed. "Especially Sho, he better not come here, or else I'm going to burn this whole building to the ground!" the edge in his voice told Junpei that his leader was not joking.
Minato grabbed Hamuko's hand and followed her up the steps.
"Kicked ass of a supernatural entity and now he's sleeping with Hamu-tan," Junpei leaned back. "I should be jealous but eh, good on that guy, he deserves it!"
"Minato!" Sho cried, running up the steps.
"Oh shit!" Junpei immediately got up and tackled Sho down the steps, sending both of them crashing to the lounge in the most painful way possible.
"What is the meaning of this!?" Mitsuru demanded, getting up from the couch.
"We're training!" Junpei cried.
...
"I'm going to kiss you now," Hamuko warned, staring up at the blue haired fool who after so many weeks of pain and despair was finally back to normal. She had waited so long for this. So very long for this moment and to make sure that nobody was going to ruin it, she had locked the door to her room beforehand. "You might get breathing problems and turn blue but it'll be worth it!"
Minato gulped and took a step back, only trip on her bed. "O-Okay..." he murmured, leaning back slightly in an effort to appear cool.
Hamuko bounced towards him and grinned, resting one knee at his side as she towered over the seated persona user who looked up at her with a heated blush on his face. The redhead cupped his shoulders and leaned down slowly with her eyes shut.
Hamuko pressed her lips against his started kissing him with no restrain for the first time in months, hands roaming around his back and snaking into his jacket which made Minato shiver.
"Dammit," Minato breathed out and kissed her back, gasping in surprise when Hamuko slipped her tongue into his mouth and leaned forward, pressing her body flush against his. She nibbled on his bottom lip before breaking the kiss and giving him a coy smile.
Hamuko smirked and bounced slightly on his lap, holding his jaw. "We aren't done yet."
"Like hell we are," Minato breathed out.
"That's right," Hamuko nodded and started undoing the first few buttons of his jacket. "Time to mark you."
"M-Mark me?" Minato muttered.
Hamuko sprang up and kissed the side of his cheek, real close to his lips. "You know why..." she said, ghosting her lips against his skin until she reached his ear. "Need to show everyone else that you're already taken."
Minato thought back to that one disastrous night where he had slept with a random chick-
Hamuko flicked her tongue against his ear-lobe, nibbling the part softly which made Minato spasm slightly. "I won't bite you..." she said, sucking the soft area below his ear as she started to move down towards his neck
She went down slowly, dropping soft kisses along the way until she ended up biting his stupid turtle neck sweater. Hamuko growled and bit the cloth a little too hard, drawing out a groan from Minato. He felt a little bit of pain but he also knew Hamuko was going to make it all better.
"Ugh..."
"Too much," the female wild card smirked, pulling the collar of his sweater down and exposing his neck. She recalled the hickey that he got gotten from some skank back at the club. "No, no, no, not ruining this!" she chanted to herself and bit onto his neck again, drawing out a soft grunt from the blue haired boy.
"Hamuko..." Minato leaned back, turning his head slightly towards the other side to give her some room.
Hamuko opened her mouth and started sucking his skin into her mouth, soothing the bite from earlier by occasionally kissing the spot. The blue haired male groaned again, unsure of what to do. He tried to move his arm around her waist but Hamuko clasped his hand and pushed it back down, squeezing slightly and telling him not to move. She kissed and sucked his neck for a while, making sure to leave a hickey far more prominent than the last one he got.
Hamuko parted her lips and planted a long kiss as she finally pulled away from his neck. "Hehe..." she smiled, running her fingers over the prominent love bite on the side of his neck.
"You're officially mine now!" she sang, smiling as she leveled her face with his. "Feel free to show this to everyone else."
"We're not done yet are we?" Minato said. "I swear if you stop right now-"
Hamuko cut him off by tackling him to the bed. Minato landed with a thud and sunk into the bedsheets as Hamuko started moving, making sure to lock him in place. She quickly took her position and straddled his lap before bending down to devour his mouth again.
"From from it," Hamuko mouthed against his lips and slipped her tongue in his mouth again. She grabbed another fistful of his hair and rammed her tongue down on his throat, lifting him off the bed as she pulled him by the collar with her other to kiss him passionately.
"Slow down," Minato grabbed a hold of her hips and pulled her forward, propping himself on his elbows to decrease the distance.
The two wrestled for a few minutes, panting hard but still refusing to part. Nobody was going to ruin this moment from them.
"Minato," Hamuko breathed out, biting on his lower lip which made the blunet flex his fingers against her hip. She bit harder for a few seconds and pulled away from his mouth before moving to the side, scrapping her teeth against his neck again, opening up small scratches until she finally sat back up on his lap, smiling at the blushing mess under her.
"Cute," Hamuko smirked, running her thumb on his rather swollen bottom lip.
"Hamuko..." Minato said in between pants. She was way too aggressive but he loved every minute of it.
Hamuko glanced at his neck, noticing the mark and a number of other small scratches. "Don't blame me. I wanted to do this forever but your body was way too injured."
"Y-Yeah," Minato winced, knowing she was not done teasing him yet.
"I held back so many times," Hamuko admitted. "I didn't want to send you to a hospital, ya know?" she laughed, falling silent for a few seconds when she recalled the nasty wounds that were on his body previously.
"But you're better now, right?" Hamuko whispered seductively as she ripped his jacket open and shoved her hands into his sweater. "Right?"
Minato shivered again, sinking into the bed-sheets as her hands roamed his stomach and chest. She remembered every single wound on his body and caressed the spot lovingly.
"You must have felt awful, right?"
Minato nodded slowly.
"I'll make you feel soooo much better tonight," Hamuko promised, pressing her palms against his sides.
"I feel better already," he managed to choke out.
"Nice," Hamuko pulled out and took his right hand, guiding it up her own sweater. "Do you like that, Minato?" she asked coyly.
Minato sucked in a deep breath and looked up at her. "Um... C-Can I?"
"Of course," she smiled. He was still asking for permission first.
Minato flexed his fingers again, softly than before which drew a mewl from Hamuko. She bit her lip and looked down at him with another seductive smirk.
Minato pulled his hand out of her sweater and Hamuko pulled back a little, resting on his knees. She started unbuckling his pants, a little to hasty but by then, Minato was starting to smile as well, slowly getting over the initial embarrassment which always happened to him.
Hamuko abruptly stopped after removing his belt. "Wait."
Minato groaned and growled. "What?"
"I'm tired," Hamuko said and fell next to him on the bed.
Minato was struck dumb for a few seconds. After all she did to him, she was tired..?
"If this is a troll job then Hamuko..." Minato growled. "I'm all... blue." he spat.
Hamuko gave a cheeky grin and rolled on her back, staring at him. "Come on darling. You've been way too shy for way too long."
"What do you mean?" Minato asked.
"Hehehe," Hamuko reached down and started lowering her leggings, pulling them down to her ankles. Minato glanced at her thighs and Hamuko pulled her skirt up a little to give him a better view. "I'm right next to you."
Minato sat up and stared at her, melting a little inside when Hamuko opened her arms, inviting him to take the lead.
"Come on," she whined playfully. "Love me, Minato."
"..."
"Love me lots!"
Minato finally moved and hovered over her, propping himself up on his hands and knees directly above her.
"Oh God," Hamuko opened her mouth and stuck her tongue out playfully, agitating Minato again. "W-What do I do...?" he wanted to do so much but his mind drew a blank. He wasn't sure how to start, what to do, where to touch.
"Come on," Hamuko sang, urging him to touch anywhere he pleased by spreading out her arms. "I'm waiting."
Minato dared thought back to his previous sessions with random girls and all he got were glimpses of angry sex and a few handcuffs. "No, no, no!" he shook his head to dispel the images. He looked back down at Hamuko who was struggling to hold her giggles.
You're cute when you're clueless," she laughed and reached up to stroke his cheek. "Just go with the flow, not fair if you're the only one groaning ya know?"
Minato lowered himself, taking a few deep breaths. He cupped one side of her cheek and smiled, turning her face slightly towards the other side, just enough to expose her neck.
"Are you going to mark me too?" Hamuko blinked innocently, pulling down her sweater and tilting her head to the side.
"..."
"Come on you sissy," Hamuko spat playfully. "Bite me."
Minato dove in and bit on her neck just like she did but he made sure not too bite too hard, immediately kissing the spot as Hamuko shivered beneath him, her hands snaking across his back, clutching his sweater. She groaned when he started sucking her bare skin, making sure to not use his teeth like she did.
"Ugh, Minato," Hamuko clutched the hair on the back of his head as Minato kept assaulting her neck, snaking one hand inside of her garment, slowly moving his fingers up her stomach, towards her chest.
"Dammit," the redhead groaned, returning the small kisses that Minato left on her lips. He kept altering between frenzied kisses on her neck and lips, his right hand finally cupping one of her breast which he started teasing through her bra, causing Hamuko to moan against his mouth during the dozenth kiss that night.
"Mmm, Minato," Hamuko muttered his name, wrapping her legs around him to lock him place because he was doing such a good job. "Keep going." she encouraged, playing with his hair as Minato obliged, sinking his teeth against her neck and then parting his lips to leave a hickey just like she did, marking her just she did him.
Minato pulled back and ran his thumb over the spot.
"Kiss me, Minato," Hamuko whimpered, taking his hand and placing it on her chest.
Minato listened to her and kissed her quickly. Hamuko pulled back and whispered into his ear.
"Kiss me lower..." she whispered, tapping his hand which was still on her chest.
Minato picked her up slightly and started removing her sweater which easily came off. He tossed the garment away and looked down at a near topless Hamuko who was holding onto her chest, trying to cover herself up.
Hamuko swore under her breath when Minato pried her hands away from her chest, glancing at her orange bra with somewhat of a perverted smirk.
"I can touch anywhere I want, yes?" Minato asked.
"Y-Yes," Hamuko squeaked. "J-Just don't tease me too much."
Minato brought himself down and exhaled, his breath ghosting the curve of her breast, making her shudder. "You tease," Hamuko growled and then looked down to see his one finger traveling over her cleavage, far away from where she wanted. "Do something already!"
Minato listened to her and stroked the side of her breast with his thumb, making the girl beneath him spasm. He was barely touching her and still making her shudder and moan, maybe it was because he hadn't touched her in so long.
Minato started to undo the clips on her hair, making them run down towards her shoulders. He brushed them off to one side and bent down again, planting another long kiss on her neck before moving towards the straps on her shoulders.
Hamuko waited patiently, reaching back to unclasp her bra as Minato grabbed the strap with his bare teeth and started moving it towards the edge of her shoulder, moving the one on her left side with his hand. In no time, her bra came off and Minato slid the straps off her shoulders, leaving another bite on her flesh as he pulled back.
Hamuko held her bra against her chest and giggled. "I'm so going to scar your back tonight."
"Been waiting for this, eh?" Minato said, pressing his forehead against her.
"You have no idea," Hamuko said, licking his bottom lip.
"Kiss you lower?" Minato repeated.
"Y-Yes," Hamuko squealed. "Please, Minato."
Minato started dropping feather kisses from her jawline, going down towards her chest. Hamuko started shuddering as he worked his way down. She clutched the back of his head and just waited for him to kiss the right spot.
"Ugh!" Hamuko groaned and dug her nails into his sweater, tugging on his blue hair when Minato dropped a kiss in the middle of her chest. "Minato!" she moaned his name, tossing her bra to the side before she hugged his head tightly.
Minato opened his mouth but stopped when his eye fell on the desk clock. There were 2 minutes left before the Dark Hour.
"What's wrong?" Hamuko whimpered, aching for more attention.
"The Dark Hour will start in about 2 minutes,"
"S-So?!" Hamuko blurted. "H-Hey come on! Don't ignore me like this!"
Minato snapped back to attention and laughed. "Ignore you?"
"Then keep going," Hamuko whimpered again. "And do something about your stupid sweater, feels awkward when I'm the only one naked."
Minato looked back at the clock and chuckled. He was way too infatuated with her body to realize how quickly time had passed. He looked down at Hamuko who was only clad in her skirt now which he was going to peel off sooner rather than later.
The little moonlight that shone on her body made her appear even more gorgeous than usual. Minato squeezed her hand and glanced at her shuddering frame, going over every little curve and lean muscle, caressing them softly with his fingers . He breathed out a sigh of relief, happy and proud to see there was not a single scar on her body.
Minato smiled softly. "You're beautiful, Hamuko."
"I am?" Hamuko said, blinking up at him with a shy smile. "You're only saying that because I'm naked."
"No, you're gorgeous, really," Minato said, trailing a finger from her neck towards her stomach. "I'm glad I found you."
"Hehehe," Hamuko giggled.
"I'm won't let anyone leave another scar on you, anymore," Minato promised. "Not Ryoji, not Nyx, no one."
"Kill them if they come near me, okay?" Hamuko tugged on his sleeve. "Maul their asses if they hurt me."
"I promise, I won't let anything touch you," Minato swore and Hamuko rose up, their lips clashing for the hundredth time that night as they shared another hungry and passionate kiss.
"Lower," Hamuko reminded him when they parted. "Go. Lower." she grabbed a handful of his hair and started pushing him down.
Minato obliged and pushed himself down, dropping a kiss at her naval before he started caressing her thighs, tracing small circles on the inside which made Hamuko moan again.
"I'm ticklish there," she whined. "Come on Minato, stop teasing me already. "
"Look who is talking now," Minato squeezed her thigh and moved up slightly, finally getting ready to remove the last pieces of cloth left on her body.
"Might want to moisten your lips up already," Hamuko gave another coy smile, still having a hold of his hair.
Minato licked his lips and grinned at her. "Don't try to scream too much."
Minato slowly separated her legs and started removing her skirt, slowly, button by button until it finally came off, leaving Hamuko only in her underwear. He took a deep breath and then exhaled, looking over at Hamuko who was busy playing with his hair, staring at him intently.
"Don't make me pull your head-AH!"
Hamuko tugged on his hair when he finally planted a kiss on the last garment covering her torso, drawing out a loud moan from Hamuko. "Y-You goddamn tease!"
"Hehehe," Minato chuckled and crawled on his hands and knees, hovering over the redhead who was trying to regain her breath, cheeks flushed in embarrassment. "That was way too loud..."
Hamuko wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down. "O-Okay, your turn to moan my name now..."
"Cute," Minato chuckled as he pressed his index finger against her lips and Hamuko softly nibbled it, just like he wanted. His lips curved up and parted, baring his teeth as Minato gave a familiar smile which made Hamuko gulp and swoon.
"T-That smirk," Hamuko breathed out, growing restless and refusing to meet his hard stare. She could feel his eyes on her body and while she knew Minato was never going to hurt her, she wanted him to bite and touch her some more, 'softly' of course. "Damn you..."
"You're sweating way too much, darling, are you okay?"
"S-Stop staring at me like that," Hamuko whimpered, melting under the stare of his cold silver eyes.
"Can't help it," Minato said, hooking his thumb into her panties and slowly pushing it down towards her knees. She arched her back in anticipation and pushed her legs up to help him get them off, telling him to do it quickly in between her pants
"Y-You can stare at me when I make you feel good, okay?" Hamuko exhaled, breath ghosting his right cheek. "I missed that look."
"Sure," Minato whispered into her ear as he nuzzled against her neck, breath tickling her softly bruised flesh which made her shudder again. His hands moved back up towards her hip and Minato started cracking his fingers one by one making her wince because she knew what was coming next.
"Goddamit!" Hamuko cried in embarrassment, hiding her face against his shoulder. "Start touching!"
Minato breathed out. At one time, he had fantasies of breaking and chewing her fingers, reason why he only touched her when she gave him permission. Spending a whole hour exploring her body without the voice in the back of his head telling him to ravage her felt great and the whole intimacy felt fulfilling because they had never gone this far before.
"Mmm, kiss Minato?" Hamuko requested, humming softly as she cuddled against his neck and shoulder. "Last one, please?"
"Sure," Minato smiled and cupped her face, stroking the area under her right eye. "No more teasing now."
"That's right," Hamuko said and placed her lips against his, closing her eyes and pressing her body against his when Minato kissed her back and his right hand moved up her thigh. She told herself not to scream too much and just focused on the kiss. "Um, good boy-"
BANG!
"Who the fuck!?" Minato growled, reminding himself not to summon in rage because Hamuko was still wrapped up against him. "Leave us alone, Sho!"
Scowling at the interruption, Hamuko grabbed his wrist to guide his hand. "No more teasing-"
Minato had to stop whn he heard another bang, along with a number of shouts coming from downstairs. "What the hell is going on?" he cussed, resting Hamuko on the bed so he could check on/kill the asshole who was doing this.
"I swear to God," Hamuko growled from her bed. "Whoever that is, strangle the life outta him or her and get back to bed!"
Minato stopped and strained his ear. As the rush of hormones lessened, Minato realized something was going on. He looked at the clock and the Dark Hour had happened just a few minutes ago. Something was happening downstairs as he could hear a number of his friends yelling.
"Cover yourself up," Minato ordered.
Hamuko hissed but did so, covering her body with the blanket.
"Minato!"
"Dammit!"
He heard the yells from downstairs, along with a number of... groans...? Inhumane groans and moans that were barely audible.
"What is going on?" Hamuko asked, beyond frustrated. "Who is yelling downstairs?"
"Don't get up," Minato said and took one step before he fell to his knees as the whole dorm shook and shuddered, rocking back and forth due to no reason as all. "Ugh, this is no earthquake!" he growled.
"What the!?" Hamuko tried to not fall off the bed. "Who is doing this!?" she cried as the furniture started moving on its own, violently and without pause like someone was rocking it back and forth.
Minato now knew something terrible was going, something much more than a prank like he had anticipated. There was this deathly energy in the air, disgustingly similar to Ryoji.
Was he back?
"Hamuko, stay here!" Minato ordered. If Ryoji was back, it was time for some more payback. He took off running towards the door and slammed it open to run outside but to his surprise, a force crashed against his chest the moment he opened the door and he was sent flying, crashing into the opposite wall.
"Minato!" Hamuko hastily started putting on her clothes back on because Minato was literally hanging off the wall, groaning and hissing in pain.
Minato could feel the force ripping into his body but he shrugged it off and calmed down so he could concentrate, reaching into his sea to call upon on his new power.
"Orpheus Telos!"
He called upon his strongest persona, immediately summoning the reawakened persona who spawned behind him, his aura powerful enough to release from his binds in just a few seconds.
Minato landed on his feet and saw Hamuko barely dressed in a mixture of their clothes. "Stay here, don't come down!" he ordered and quickly ran out, speeding down the steps and jumping down to the lounge.
"What the hell...?"
Everything on the second floor and the lounge was shaking as well but that wasn't his concern after he saw the carnage in the lounge.
"Minato, I swear this is not a prank!" Junpei said, kicking one away.
"What the fuck is going on?" Minato stared at the numerous... uninvited guests.
"We have no idea!" Mitsuru said, pushing him away with her bare hands because she couldn't use her weapons.
As one came running at Minato, the blunet drew his fist back to kill the bastard on the spot-
"No, I cant'..."
"Don't kill them!" Fuuka cried. "You know who they are!"
Minato merely pushed his foe away and took a deep breath, trying to come to terms with the fact that their newest enemy were...
...
...
"The Lost...?" Minato couldn't believe it but the lounge was swarmed with numerous victims of the apathy syndrome and his team was struggling to repel them, not able to use their weapons on the victims of the shadows.
"How did this happen?" Minato asked.
"Ask later," Yukari cried. "Minato, help!"
BANG!
Minato ignored the sound and took off running, pushing the creep away from Yukari. He pushed her back and stood in front of her, eyes fixed on his other friends who were struggling to keep the away and not harm them.
"What do we do?" Akihiko said, dodging their attacks and using light jabs to keep them away.
Sho was busy kicking everyone who came in his way. "Dammit, can't we kill them?"
"Why are they even attacking?" Mitsuru growled, pushing a couple of them away from the steps. "Makes no sense!"
"I can feel Ryoji's energy around them," Fuuka said, drawing out a hiss from Minato.
It made sense he was able to control the victims, given he was the embodiment of shadows but there had no be something else, something much more powerful to control nigh dead people like that.
"Throw them out of the dorm and lock it shut!" Minato ordered, pulling on Yukari's wrist along as he started pushing and shoving the Lost out the door of the dorm and to no one surprise, he was easily able to do so without an injury, a few of them did try to claw and bite him but Minato easily endured their attacks and kicked them out.
Soon enough, Hamuko jumped down the steps and cried in surprise. "What the hell is going on!?"
"Explain later," Mitsuru said, shoving a number of them out of the door. "Help us get rid of them!"
Sho sent one crashing through the window. "Sorry dead guy but this a fuck you to Ryoji."
"Dammit," Hamuko grab the nearest zombie and started pushing him all the way to the door, shoving him outside with little effort.
After a few seconds, the Lost stopped trying to struggle and stopped attacking the teens, much to their surprise. They simply turned away and started limping towards the door, quietly exiting the dorm without trouble.
"The hell?" Junpei blinked in surprise as one dude brushed past him, the same guy who was trying to chew on his arm. "Where are they going...?"
"Let them go," Mitsuru said, giving them room to walk out. "We got what we wanted."
"But why?" Akihiko asked.
"I can feel a little of Ryoji but barely," Fuuka said. "Makes no sense..."
Soon enough, the dorm was emptied of the zombie like people as they scuffled out and Junpei quickly locked the door shut, breathing out and shuddering in disgust.
"I need answers," Akihiko said. "Really, what was that about?"
"I have no idea," Mitsuru replied. "Is this Ryoji's doing? How can he control them without being nearby?"
"We just got cockblocked by zombies!" Hamuko screamed internally. From all their failed attempts at making love, this was the absolute worst. "Oh my God, must not explode..."
"We'll have to keep an eye on them," Yukari suggested. "If they start this on the streets, it'll be hard."
"Agreed," Mitsuru said. "Be wary of them, I'll call someone tomorrow to secure the doors and windows with metal."
As everyone kept staring and standing in complete surprise, Sho yawned, not concerned about the lost or why they were attacking them. He was pretty sleepy actually because he had spent a good chunk of the time wrestling with Junpei.
"Well whatever!" he said to himself, ready to make his way to the steps... until his sight fell on Minato...
Or rather...
His neck.
Sho widened his eyes and laughed at the top of his lungs, startling the others as he pointed at Minato's neck which was exposed from what Hamuko did earlier.
"I knew you were training!" Sho exclaimed, pointing at the bruise and scratches on his neck.
"Oh fuck no," Minato tried to hide his neck but Sho bolted and lowered his sweater, observing the wound with too much happiness.
"No..." Junpei slapped his forehead.
"Wound?" Mitsuru blinked. "Where did you get that-"
"NO!" Hamuko growled to herself.
"Wow, that's quite a wound," Sho exclaimed happily. "What did she do? Stab you there with a dagger? Kick your throat? Shredded it with her sword! Tell me all the spicy details!"
No..." Yukari looked away to hide her shame, especially now that Mitsuru was glaring at her and Junpei.
"Hey!" Hamuko came running and shoved Sho away, standing behind Minato to cover his expose neck. "That wound means something, idiot!"
"What?" Sho asked. "Tell me now!"
"That's a mark that he belongs to me!" Hamuko spat. "Only me, stay the hell away!"
"Is that so...?" Sho said, rubbing his chin. "Well... I've given him more wounds than I can count so does that mean..."
"..." Hamuko stared at him.
Minato remained quiet, not believing the night was going to end like this...
"Does that mean he belongs to me?" Sho asked the genuine question because he wasn't aware that wounds worked this way.
Hamuko stood still for a few seconds before her face reddened. "You know what!" she grabbed a fistful of blue hair and Minato widened his eyes. "You can have him!" she shouted and shoved Minato into Sho, leading to a clash of heads which sent the two boys crashing to the ground on top of each other.
"Stupid boys!" Hamuko snapped and stomped her way up the steps.
"Oh shit!" Minato panicked and got up. "Hamuko!" he cried and followed after her but by the time he reached the second floor, Hamuko slammed the door shut and locked it from the inside.
"No!" the blunet cursed, nearly smashing his head on the ground because the whole session of cuddling ended with him getting nothing else!
"Goddammit!" he cursed his way over to his room, repeatedly bashing his head against the wall to replace the hormones in his body with pain. "No, fuck no, fuck all of this-!"
He kicked the door open and his jaw fell at the carnage before him.
His room was in a mess. His bed was flipping over, his laptop was smashed, the drawers were open and the contents were thrown outside. Someone had invaded his room while he was busy cuddling Hamuko or getting rid of the zombies.
"Who the hell!?" Minato ran over to his closet and rummaged through the stuff, cursing out loud when he couldn't find the damn thing.
Minato threw everything out and looked wildly but still, it wasn't there.
"The mask!" he growled, ripping the door to his closet off. "They took the mask!"
Now it all made sense, why the Lost had invaded the door and why they abruptly stopped attacking and just went out mid-way during the invasion.
There was something about the mask. He had a bad feeling about it and now it was taken away from him.
"Hey!" Sho came running into his room, widening his eyes momentarily at the state of his room. "What happened here?"
"Those fucking zombies invaded my room!" Minato spat. "They took the mask Sho, the attack in the lounge was nothing but a distraction!"
"Oh..." Sho blinked. That was pretty smart for a bunch of mindless zombies.
Minato paced around the room, scowling and growling in anger. The fact he was outsmarted by a bunch of mindless freaks pissed him off to no end.
"Dude," Sho said, looking him in the eye. "Don't worry, I'll be as good as Hamuko was, better even!"
A number of veins popped up on Minato's face and neck and he snarled like an animal in Sho's direction, warning him not to go further.
"Do you want me to warm you up?" Sho asked. "We can pick where she left off!"
Minato had enough and he bolted as fast as he could, finally giving Sho what he wanted for weeks, a hard punch to the side of his face which sent him crashing to the outside of Minato's room.
"My body is ready!" Sho cried out, fishing his sword out. "Come on!"
Minato roared in annoyance and hate and slammed the shut door. He rested his back against the wood and slid down slowly, taking deep breaths to calm himself down.
"Hey!"
He heard Sho yell on the other side and barely avoided the sword which tore through his room, narrowly missing his head.
"You can't leave me like this!" Sho said loudly, stabbing the door repeatedly with his blades. "Look at the state I'm in, I'm too excited and this is all your fault-"
"Stop, stop!" Minato yelled out loud. "Stop talking asshole! Stop saying words!"
"It's all jacked up man!" Sho shot back. "Come here! Come hard right now!"
"I'm coming you little fucker!" Minato pulled a sword from under his bed and kicked the door open, jumping outside and looking exactly like the demon he was back in April. "That's it!"
"I'm going to bust my hands all over your face!" Minato swore.
"I'll eat everything that you got!" Sho grinned back.
"What the hell did we just say...?" Minato took a deep breath and just lost it, charging at Sho with an ungodly roar which everyone heard and decided not to interfere.
...
...
After a fairly one sided beating which finally satisfied Sho and knocked him out, Minato tossed him into his room and kicked the door shut.
"Who else wants a piece of me!?" Minato challenged, yelling out loud.
Wisely, nobody came up and just slept in the lounge.
"Goddammit!" Minato crushed the blade on his leg and stormed into his room, locking it shut. He pulled his bed back and just collapsed down, rubbing his hands over his face.
"I can't believe this..." Minato glanced at the small wound on his hand and was surprised to see that blue blood was dripping down-
"What the fuck-!?" he blinked and the hallucination went away. "I'm so traumatized that I've begun to hallucinate!"
To think the whole thing through...
He started the evening with Hamuko...
...
And he ended the night with Sho of all people!
"How did this happen?" Minato said to himself. He also know that despite being exhausted and sleepy, getting to sleep was going to be hard, impossible even because he was all blue from the belly down.
And then, there was the problem about the stolen mask and the fact that he was outsmarted by a bunch of brainless zombies.
Not to mention the invisible force which sent him crashing into the wall and the question as to why the whole dorm was shaking.
"Fuck my life!" Minato slammed his head against the frame of his bed and kept doing it until it broke and then he started bashing the his head against the wall-
"Ugh!"
Until he fell or more like passed out.
"B-Better not get a freaky dream now..." he whispered and blackened out, putting an end to his horrible first night post his rebirth and resurrection.
Whew... Can't believe I wrote all that... holy shit. I know lots of reviewers asked this way, way back and I always said no but... uh... after the whole crossover thing and the past several brutal chapters, I kinda felt bad? It was originally a request and a dare but I was not going to write but eh...
I mean the folks at fallen messiah got what they asked (crossover) and well, I usually don't write outside my comfort zone but after 100 chapters, 1k reviews and 160k views, I think it's okay. This is a gift from me to the shippers who stuck with this despite the brutality, a special for the milestone chapter.
Hopefully it was okay and cheered some people up, big thanks to my co-author, schizelle, who guided me on the rating and reviewed it before because the only thing closest to lemon I've read is Elizabeth being a vampire and giving Minato a hickey.
And this will be the last one for a while. I've wrote about 50k words since I got free and right now... 1) I'm burned out. 2) Need to plan out the last 15 chapters. 3) college and my last two semesters. 4) work because I need to pay my ...
BILLS BILLS BILLSSS FUCKING BILLS!*
What a fucking time to make a typo!
That's it. I thank you all and this is it for a little while.
Do review, tell me even if you got eye cancer because this is a one time the peeps who requested this in the first place are still there.
Sayanora for now folks, thanks a lot for the support so far.
