On the ride home a silence had once again elapsed between the two. Being naturally quiet people the silence wasn't by any stretch uncomfortable but more of an understanding between them that the day didn't need to be filled with a bunch of seemingly useless words. They had said all that needed to be said and that was it. Yu pulled up to the expensive apartment complex Rise's Tokyo condo was in.

Ren followed Yu into the building after getting past the front door security guard. This apartment complex held many people in the public eye, and there had been more than one occasion a fan tried to sneak in to meet their idol. Camera and more security greeted them in the lobby as Yu made his way to the elevators and pressed the button for the 5th floor. In total it was a 22 story building with each condo taking up one of the floors. Rise owned the whole 5th floor, her studio paying half for the condo with Rise's own money paying for the other half so she had a place here in Tokyo. There was a small threshold with a door between the elevator and the rest of the apartment so someone couldn't just go from the elevator straight into someone's apartments. Yu went to reach for his keys after he took his shoes off but as he did so the door suddenly opened.

"YU!"

Rise stood in the door way, wearing her pajamas and messy hair framing her face as red eyes stared at Yu. It took all but a heartbeat before the idol let out a wail and threw her arms around Yu, crying into his chest and muttering something completely inaudible. Yu glanced at Ren out of the corner of his eye, to see the teen with his hands in his pockets looking as if this was all completely normal. Yu wrapped his arms around Rise and sighed.

"See. I told you I was fine." Yu calmly spoke hoping to calm his girlfriend down, he reached out and put a hand to her cheek in an affectionate gesture.

Rise looked up at him from behind puffy eyes. "You're an idiot…" She took a step back wiping the tears from her eyes with the palm of her hand before speaking again. "Come on you two come in."

Rise retreated deeper into the condo, as Yu and Ren both followed her. Yu moved to close the door before he scanned the larger front room that preceded Rise's front door. Upon one of the two large 'L' shaped couches in the front room sat Yosuke, Naoto and sleeping at the end of the couch curled into tight ball was Teddie without his suit. Naoto was in the same clothes she had been in the day before, leaving Yu to deduce she was in the middle of another all-nighter writing reports when no doubt Rise had disturbed her. When Yu had left, he hadn't bothered checking the rest of the house to see if anyone was up. He had simply left. Yosuke was dressed no doubt having switched clothes at some point in the chaos of his absence. Teddie like Rise was also in a pair of pajamas.

"Welcome Ren-kun, please make yourself at home." Rise told Yu's accomplice with a slightly more cheerful voice.

"Thank you." Ren said with a slight bow.

"I'll make coffee," Yosuke said getting to his feet. "Hey Ren you work at a fancy coffee shop, do you wanna help me?"

"Sure." Ren replied clearly getting the hint Yosuke was laying down, before they both disappeared.

"I'm going to go take a shower now that Yu's back." Naoto made a quick exit clearing the room as quickly as Yosuke had done.

Yu turned to Rise ready to get an ear full, but Rise just watched the others go before sighing. Her gaze still a bit puffy found Yu's after a long minute of silence. "Next time leave a note. After today… I...I just didn't know what to think…" Rise folded her arms across her chest and looked towards the glass coffee table that sat in the middle of the room.

Yu stepped up to his girlfriend and pulled her close into his embrace. He understood why she had worried so much and honestly he didn't blame her. His nightmares had left him with more than a few sleepless nights. Normally pacing the house or absorbing himself in either work or a hobby, this was the first time he just left without a word to anyone. He hadn't been really acting himself since they had left Mementos. He had even gone to bed but unbeknownst to him, like Ren, sleep just wasn't something that was in the cards tonight for him either. Within his embrace, Yu slowly felt Rise relax and the two just sat there soaking in the moment.

After what had to have been at least 10 minute, Rise pulled herself away from Yu and gave him one of her signature smiles. "I should get dressed and take a shower. We have a guest after all. This idol needs to keeps up her appearances."

Yu let out a light chuckle. "Something tells me Ren wouldn't care either way." Yu glanced in the direction of the kitchen. "He's a good kid."

Rise's smile kept its place on her face proving how genuine it was. "He reminds me of you so of course he's a good kid. What did you talk about?"

"That day…" Yu started with a solemn tone, but it quickly faded into a more jovial one. "Then we talked about women."

The raise brow and the folding of Rise's arms instantly reminded Yu he was still on a bit of thin ice after what happened tonight. "Women really?"

"Not about you, but his women trouble." Yu tried to recover his standing with his girlfriend. "Ren's got several young ladies that are interested in him."

Rise posture softened as Yu explained. "That makes sense I suppose. Does he have his eye on one in particular?"

Yu nodded. "Yeah. Makoto."

Rise paused for a moment going over the thieves' roster in her head. "Queen?" Yu's nod confirmed that it was indeed the correct thief. "Ah, huh." Rise paused again clearly think about something before looking up at Yu and giving him a quick kiss on the lips. "Right! Shower. I'll be right back."

Yu watched her go before turning and heading to the kitchen. Yosuke and Ren seemed to be chatting calmly about various coffee brands. The smell of fresh coffee flooded the kitchen with its enticing scent. After a night without sleep, the promise of caffeine was a siren song Yu wasn't going to ignore. He moved to the coffee pot to pour himself a mug, but as he did this Yosuke glanced at him.

"You smooth things over with Rise?" Yosuke asked from his spot leaning against the kitchen's island.

"I think so, thanks for having my back and letting me do that." Yu said moving to join the other two at the kitchen island.

"Hey what are partner's for? I always got your back." Yosuke grinned before pointing towards Ren. "Ren here makes a killer cup of coffee and was talking about the various kind of beans."

"You learn a lot by living above a coffee shop." Ren offhandedly commented.

Yu took a sip of the coffee he had just poured himself, pleasantly surprised by its rich refreshing taste for being nothing but black coffee. "Thanks Ren, clearly Sojiro has been training you well. Well it looks like the sun will be up soon. Ren do you want me to bring you home? Or you could just crash here and I can take you back later? Do you have plans today?"

Ren reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. "Kind of, we had plans to go to the Diet building" He set the phone down, the MetaNav up and running. The words 'Masayoshi Shido' and 'Diet Building' were already entered. The only thing missing was the key word.

"Masayoshi Shido? Ain't that the politician everyone has been saying is going to win Prime Minster this election?" Yosuke asked as he picked up Ren's phone to read it.

"That is correct." Naoto interjected as she stepped into the kitchen probably lured by the smell of coffee. She wore more casual clothing and had her still slightly wet hair pulled back in a messy ponytail. "What about him?"

"He's corrupt." Ren explained boldly.

Naoto collected a cup of coffee before joining the boy in kitchen's island. "That's news to me, but I assume he is in the MetaNav with a palace."

"Yep, apparently Ren already has him in the app. All's they are missing is a keyword." Yosuke informed Naoto, handing Ren back his phone.

"So your groups next target," As always Naoto's deductions were spot on.

"Yes, but this might be a bit personal for me." Ren slipped his phone back into his hoodie's pocket.

"Personal?" Naoto probed trying to fish for more of an answer.

"What does a kid like you have to do with a man that is trying to be prime minster?" Yosuke's probe was a bit blunter then Naoto's had been.

Ren did take the bait right away, he only spoke after he reached up and adjusting his glasses. "Shirogane-san, Yu-senpai, I take it you both have read my police file?"

"Senpai?" Naoto muttered under her breath as she shot Yu a look before looking back at Ren. Things however seemed to instantly click for both of the detectives, with Naoto first to speak up. "He was the one that filed the report and he kept his name out of it to save face. It has always bothered me knowing you now, what really happened that night Ren-kun?"

Ren looked down into the cup of coffee he had in front of him. "I was walking home late on the night this happened. I saw Shido harassing a woman on the side of the road as she tried to get into her car. He was clearly drunk. I tried to step in so the woman could just get away from him, but Shido tripped, fell, and got a small scrape on his forehead. He accused me of assaulting him and blackmailed the woman to testify against me after she called the police."

"That sounds like bullshit!" Yosuke exclaimed.

"He no doubt has eyes on my friends and is only waiting until after the election to eliminate them like he tried with me. After all Akechi is in his pocket." Ren explained.

"We can't let that happen." Yu interjected before his gaze flickered to Naoto.

Reaching into his pocket Yu took out his phone and opened up the MetaNav app and set it down in front of Ren. This time the name was filled in with Goro Akechi followed by the location of 'police station'. Like with Ren's Shido problem the keyword was also missing. Ren looked surprised as he picked up the phone and read the information for himself before handing it back to Yu. Yu slipped it back into his pocket.

"So you guys are going after Akechi?" Ren asked.

"That was the plan. You could say going after Akechi is personal for me too. The media touts him as the second coming of the detective prince. I'm the first. I know phantom thieves normally work as one unit, but maybe this time we should split up. Granted we are new to this phantom thief thing and we aren't really sure about how this whole stealing people's hearts thing fully works." Naoto explained.

A devious smirk appeared on Ren's lips. "That a simple problem to solve. When we split the team up I just make sure I send one of my experienced thieves with the new ones." Ren turned his attention towards Yu. "I'm free during the day and we could bring Morgana. He honestly taught us how to steal people's hearts and I'm sure he'll be an excellent teacher for your group."

"It sounds like we got a plan." Yu replied as he took another sip of his coffee.

"I'll talk it over with the rest of the group later today when we head to the Diet building. You guys should come with, maybe we can help you crack… Akechi's keyword." Ren couldn't stop the yawn that cut his into his words.

"I'm serious about letting you crash here Ren. If you only want to sleep for a few hours, I can wake you up and drive you to your friends. When are you planning on meeting?" Yu gave his best impression of a concerned adult figure to Ren.

"After they get off school I think?" Ren explained.

"These words coming from a man that didn't sleep at all either." Naoto nagged her partner before looking between Ren and Yu. "You both should sleep,"

"How much sleep did you get Naoto?" Yu shot back.

Naoto folded her arms. "About four hours. I fell asleep writing my report!" She almost sounded as if she was bragging.

"You are all nuts." Yosuke rolled his eyes before looking at Ren. "Look, Teddie is asleep on the couch and his bed is open. Ren just stay here, none of the adults have had enough sleep to be driving you back home. I'll call your guardian and explain the situation when his shop opens. Do you know when that is?"

"It's alright, I already sent a text to Futaba and left him a voice mail." Ren explained.

"Then it's settled, come on Ren I'll show you to the room." Yosuke pulled at the teenage boy away from the kitchen. They both disappeared from view a few seconds later.

"Alright some more sleep won't hurt I suppose." Naoto dumped out her coffee mug as she looked at Yu. "You going to bed?"

"I guess." Yu replied honestly dumping out his mug as well and leaving it in the sink.

"Good night." Naoto said as she turned and walked from the kitchen.

Yu sat in the empty kitchen a minute before turning and heading towards the large master bedroom at the back of the condo. The bedroom was dark except for the small rays of light coming in as the morning sun was starting to peak over the horizon. The ray crossed the room illuminating the king bed in the middle of the room. Sleeping silently was Rise, still in her pajamas. Apparently that shower hadn't happened. Yu could only believe the stress of his sudden disappearance had taken it's toll on her and now that he was back, all that adrenaline had worn off and left her exhausted. Something that Yu felt guilty about. Still, he had to just stand there a minute and take her in.

She was beautiful.

Stepping up to the curtain, he fully closed them so the light of the rising sun wouldn't bother his sleeping beauty. After that task was done, he silently moved through the room and collected his pajamas. A quick trip to the bathroom to change was all that was needed before he climbed into the bed. Snuggling next to Rise, he froze for a second as she stirred and muttered his name. This however proved to be nothing as she just snuggled against him and seemed to instantly return to sleep; if she even had awoken in the first place. Yu took a deep breath, counting his blessings before he allowed his body to relax. Peaceful sleep found him fast after that, not haunted by a Reaper.


Ren opened his eyes to an unfamiliar environment. The room was mostly dark except a few rays of strong light that crept in from the curtain, illuminating the room just enough that Ren's dark adjusted eyes could make out details. The room was fairly large with two beds pushed against either side of the room but the lay out mostly reminding Ren of an upscale hotel room, attached bathroom and all. Slowly getting up, Ren reminded himself where exactly he was. Rise's condo. Yosuke had drug him here and told him to sleep in a very similar way to a particular feline.

After collecting his stuff from the night stand next to the bed, Ren stepped out into the fully illuminated living room. The late afternoon sun was blinding from the large windows and it took a few blinks before the teenagers vision adjusted to it. The living room was empty but the soft sound of an acoustic guitar lead Ren deeper into the Condo. The sound was coming from a room near the back of the condo and with the rest of the condo being seemingly empty, Ren invited himself in. The room appeared to be a recording studio, and simply stepping into the room amplified the warm sounds by several degrees.

The room was occupied by two people, Rise who was producing the wonderful guitar melody and Naoto who was sitting on a couch seemingly just listening to the music. As soon as Ren stepped into the room, both women noticed him but Rise just continued to play. Ren moved across the room taking a seat on the couch next to Naoto as he let the melody just flow through the air. The sound wrapped up before Rise put down the guitar and gave Ren a warm smile.

"I'm sorry Ren-kun, did my music wake you up?" Rise asked leaning against her guitar.

"No," Ren shook his head. "I'm sorry for intruding."

Rise shook her head, warm smile still in place. "Don't be." Rise took off the guitar and placed it in the stand next to the stool she had been sitting on. "I might be on break but my production company wants me to consider my next single. I wanted to write my own song this time around, and I was playing for Naoto to see what she thinks."

"It sounds great Rise," Naoto affirmed to her friend.

"Yeah, but it's still missing lyrics." Rise gave a good natured sigh. "I've had this song in my head for a while but I just can't think of proper lyrics that would do it justice. What do you think of what you heard Ren-kun?"

"It's captivating and really draws the listener in." Ren answered smoothly.

Rise giggled. "Good answer Ren-kun" She hopped off the stool she was sitting on and stepped up to Ren. For a second or two she seemed to study him before she reached up, took his glasses off, and looked into his eyes. "You really are that debonair rogue type aren't you? Shame you have to hide behind these." She motioned to the glasses.

Ren didn't seem to know how to respond as Rise examined his black framed glasses. The idol slipped the glasses onto her face and looked around before looking back again at Ren. The secret was out once you put them on, the glasses were simply that. Glasses. They had no prescription and Ren definitely didn't need them for vision correction. They were simply another mask he wore to make people see him as more inconspicuous. A simple ruse and a physical reminder to keep his head down while on probation. Rise took them off and sighed.

"I figured you didn't need them. Apparently I was correct, you really shouldn't need to hide those eyes. They are one of your best features Ren-kun." Rise explained as she handed Ren back the glasses.

"Is it safe to assume you wear them to blend in?" Naoto asked.

Ren looked at the glasses. "Yes, as I picked them up at the station before I came here to Tokyo. I wanted to remain anonymous. Why did you guys wear glasses in the Metaverse?"

"Habit" Rise explained with a shrug.

"That's not inaccurate. We needed to wear them while within the TV realm to pierce the fog that had covered the area. We dispersed the fog, but after needing to wear them so long, it's just second nature to put them on when in the other realm." Naoto added with a further explanation. "Your thief attire is far more fashionable though then a simple pair of glasses."

"I been meaning to ask about that! You guys don't choose those outfits, do you?" Rise pulled her stool back over and sat down on it as she spoke.

"No we don't. They simply just are. I guess the best way I can put it is those outfits symbolize our spirit of rebellion." Ren shrugged hoping the answer would satisfy the women.

Rise seemed to think as she pulled her leg up next to her on her stool and wrapped her arms around it. "I wonder what our outfits would look like if we awakened our persona like Ren-kun did."

"Probably have some theme that matched our persona with matching masks." Naoto interjected as she put her hand to her chin thinking.

"Kind of makes me want to reawaken my persona again," Rise let her words trail off as she rested her chin on her knee.

"It's a painful process. It's literally ripping the mask you hide behind off your face and accepting that you need to rebel." Ren explained to the two women.

"So it's a physical pain rather than emotional." Naoto remarked in a ponderous tone. "Our awakening was much different. We had to face our other selves and learn to accept ourselves, even the parts we didn't want too. Problem was as soon as you meet that other self you almost always automatically rejected it and that gives it power. Power that could kill you, but you needed to learn how to accept it even though it had become a huge monster at the time."

Ren thought about that kind of awakening. Sure it was indeed painful to rip your mask off but it seemed like simply ripping off a bandage compared to having to face your shadow. Ren wondered what it would be like to face ones shadow, but then remembered Yu admitted he never did. Maybe that was the blessing of the wild card. Still, the way Naoto talked about, it was clear their way of awakening persona was far more traumatizing than their way.

"So Ren-kun..." Rise started as she added a thick amount of charm to her voice. "Do you know how to dance?"

Naoto inhaled sharply. "Say no."

"Come on Naoto, I know you can dance just fine thanks to me. Also it has proven useful." Rise almost seemed to sing.

"Dance?" Ren asked in a guarded tone as he cocked his head, unsure if he wanted to answer the question fully.

Rise got to her feet and pulled Ren to his feet. She wore that warm smile as she pulled him from the room and back into the living room. Naoto seemed to follow behind. As he was pulled, Ren caught the sympathetic look Naoto was giving him. As soon as she got into the living room she pushed couches across the room. It was surprising to see someone her size was easily able to move them against the wall. Ren could only think they were on some type of casters to be moved that easily. The only thing left was the coffee table in the middle of the room. Rise plucked one of the remotes off it before just kicking it in the direction of the couches. The living room was quite a spacious place once the furniture was out of the way. Ren quickly caught the intense look Rise was giving him.

"So can you dance?" She asked, folding her arms cross her chest.

"Yes." Ren answered, something he hadn't revealed to the other thieves was he did in fact know how to dance.

"You poor boy." Naoto lamented as she moved next to Rise and stood there.

"Name a song Ren-kun," Rise smiled as she swished the remote.

He couldn't believe this was really happening. He was in the middle of an idols house and she was asking him to dance for her. Ren could only wonder what Rise's ridiculously high standards were, being an idol and all, but this wasn't a challenge he was simply going to back down from. Slipping his glasses into the pocket of his hoodie before he took it off and threw it in one of the corners of the room. Stepping into the center of the now cleared room, Ren rolled his shoulders.

"Wake up, Get up, Get out there... Remix." Ren announced bouncing on his heels as he warmed his body up.

Rise's smile turned into a Cheshire grin. "Wake up, Get up, Get out there remix." She announced into the remote.

"Playing song." A voice echoed from everywhere in the room.

Sound flowed from the speakers, no doubt hidden in the room, as a song familiar to Ren washed over him. He let the beat dictate his movement as he started to move with the rhythm. The world seemed to zone out as only the music mattered. It had been some time sense he was given the opportunity to express himself like this. He wasn't quite the novice having some experience taught to him by a professional. A hobby from another life, it seemed to him. That life he left not yet a year ago was nothing but a distant memory from his mind as the sea was vast. Still this way of movement just came back naturally to his body.

As the song came a close, the world slowly snapped back into focus for him. He normally didn't zone out so much while dancing, but it had been so long since he last danced that he just let himself zone. Ren's audience of two both had contrasting looks on their face. Naoto was clearly surprised by Ren's ability, Rise on the other hand looked excited. Letting his breath catch up a bit he stepped up to the two women wondering what their exact thoughts where.

"I need him!" Rise's tone like a child's wanting a new toy.

"For what?!" Naoto questioned looking at her companion a bit concerned.

"My next music video! That look, those eyes; that dance... He's perfect!" Rise exclaimed as she stepped up to Ren with a bright smile.

"Might I remind you he is currently a wanted criminal that has faked his own death?" Naoto's tone had turned monotone with an almost male ring to it.

"Hopefully that won't last forever," Rise stepped around Ren before leaning forwards and looking up at him in a way that made Ren realize just how lucky of a guy Yu was. "What do you think Ren-kun? You'd join me for a music video, rrrright?"

Yes, Yu was a very lucky man. "Y-yes" What else was Ren honestly gonna say to an Idol with Risette's star power.

Rise seemed to giggle with delight. "That's great!"

Naoto sighed. "You didn't have to give into her Ren-kun, but then again Rise is difficult to say no to." She put her hands on her hips. "Rise I'm going to have to insist you get both his guardian's permission and do this after there aren't people who want to kill him." Naoto almost sounded like she was talking to a child.

"Of course!" Rise's sing-song voice chimed. "So Ren-kun you've ever danced with a partner?"

"Not really." Ren walked over to grab his hoodie from where he had discarded it on the ground.

"Definitely something we can work on." Rise let the words flow off her tongue as if it was no big deal as she returned from Ren to Naoto. "Shall we show him how we do things?" There was a mischievousness to her tone.

"No no no no no no…" Naoto put up her hands as Rise grabbed at her arm.

"I can record it and send it to Kanji. I'm sure he'd love to see you busting out some moves again." Again with that sing-song tone, Ren wondered if Rise was someone to be feared or respected. Possibly both?

It was at that moment that the door to the condo opened and Yu stepped in along with Teddie and Yosuke. Naoto got a look of relief that washed over her face as the others entered. As if she had just narrowly escaped Rise's clutches. Yu looked around the room noticing the furniture pushed back and Naoto's sudden need to get away from Rise akin to a cat wanting to get away from bathwater. Ren could see him figuring out what was happening before he even spoke.

"Having fun?" Yu inquired, but was that sarcasm dripping in his voice?

"Your girlfriend still has this mad idea that I can dance well." Naoto informed her partner in a low voice.

Yu just smirked. "Might I remind you that you can dance well and she is your best friend?"

Yosuke and Rise both snickered as Teddie took a step forward almost to try and get between Naoto and Yu. "Whoa there. If you want someone to do a sexy dance I'm all the bear you need to call!" He gyrated his hips to try and prove his point.

"Alright Teddie if you want to bust out some moves, I made space. But first everyone you must know Ren-kun can dance!" Rise turned back to Ren.

Suddenly all eyes were on the teenager, his instant reaction was to pull out his glasses and slowly slide them onto his face. "Yes. I can dance." Was all he said as he flicked his glasses up. The light reflecting off them like some kind of villain.

"Good looks, mysterious air to him, loyal, and now able to dance. Why are you still single again Ren?" Yosuke asked as he threw Ren a bag. "Hopefully that's everything you need, your cat helped us grab everything."

Ren caught the bag out of midair and instantly recognized it as the brown leather bag he had brought with him when he moved to Tokyo. It had some weight to it and was clearly full with something. Opening it up, a new set of clothes was stuffed in it along with some toiletries. Ren would have to thank Morgana for helping the others get everything.

"Thank you." Ren threw the bag over his shoulder.

"No problem." Yosuke nodded.

"I'm super fired up to dance, but I wanna see what Ren-kun conveys with his dance." Teddie looked at Ren tilting his head.

Rise folded her arms thinking. "His dance seems to convey his desire to rebel and for the freedom that brings."

Naoto nodded. "I agree with Rise's assessment. Ren-kun definitely has a rebellious heart, but also has a very strong sense of justice."

"So Ren you wanna show us your dance again?" Rise requested.

"I could dance with him." Yu stepped into the center of the room and he had a gleam in his eye Ren couldn't ignore.

"Only if you'll dance close with me Senpai," Ren remarked as he adjusted his glasses with his finger tip.

"I won't ever let you go," There was a passion behind Yu's words that raised a few eyebrows in the room.

"Alright! Enough!" Yosuke threw up his hands and stepped up to Yu. "You're both too good at that! Kid why don't you go take a shower, someone will drive ya to the diet building because your friends are gathering in about an hour."

"Yosuke I'm sorry I'm already taken for this dance, but your more than welcome to watch" Yu grinned at his friend as he put his hand on his shoulder.

"Yeah... Well… shut up Partner." Yosuke spoke in the coldest tone possible and with the iciest of glares.

Yu just chuckled and Ren noticed Naoto, Rise, and Teddie were all chuckling. The laughter was contagious and Ren didn't bother to stifle the smirk that rose up on his lips. A good laughter filled the condo before everyone settled down. The more Ren got to know the investigation team the more he liked about them. The group had a warmth to it that reminded him of his own friends.

"Ren there is a bathroom in the room you slept in. If you need anything else just give a shout." Yu explained.

Ren nodded and headed back to the room he had used to sleep in. As he entered the room, the sound of music lingered behind him. More dancing apparently was going on and as much as Ren kind of wanted to see it, he knew he would need to get ready to go see his friends. Also the idea of a private bathroom wasn't a luxury he had since he moved to Tokyo. It was going to be nice to bathe in silence. Even if that silence was broken by the sound of music coming through the walls.

After the shower and a change, Ren stepped back out into the living room. The sight that greeted him was that of Yu and Rise both dancing together. It was captivating to watch both of them as they moved in perfect sync. He had been expectant of Rise being an idol and all to have such elegant moves, but the fact that Yu could match them was just as impressive. As Ren watched, Rise and Yu broke up as Teddie and Yosuke stepped up bringing their own style to the music broadcasted over the living room. Ren continued to watch as the two pairs danced around each other stepping in and out of beat until the song faded.

"Impressive." Ren couldn't help but comment once the music had died.

"It was nothing." Yosuke shrugged slightly out of breath.

"The dance floor was on fire! Now this bear is ready to hibernate." Teddie collapsed on one of the couches.

"I'm still good! Naoto I'm seriously going to get you back on the dance floor, maybe you'll be more persuaded when Kanji's here." Rise flopped on to the couch next to Naoto.

"Pass." Naoto sternly announced. "Also I got to get to the police station."

"Naoto, we should drop off Ren then head there." Yu explained as reached for the jacket he had been previously wearing, he didn't look too out of breath from the dance.

Naoto looked at Ren. "Are you ready to go?" To which Ren nodded causing Naoto to get up. "Alright let's go then."

"If it's alright with you, since we are near Shinjuku there is someone I want to speak to before I see my friends. It won't take more than a few minutes." Ren asked.

Yu and Naoto exchanged a quick look before Naoto spoke up. "I don't see why not."


I'm going to start trying for 2 uploads a week after this week hopefully everyone will like that.
