Chapter 5
I Can't Leave You
7:15 AM,2-C Classroom.
Yosuke keep thinking about the Midnight Channel,while Taiga is still dozing off.
"Hey,the two of them came to school at around the same time again..."a student said.
"Don't jump into conclusions..."another student replied.
"But,ever since that gym class...even before that, the two of them have been acting strangely."a student added.
"I'll say something first!"a male student with a long hair raised his hand.
"After i got home! I swear i saw both of them is grocery shopping and Yosuke said "we're having boiled fish today."and the Palmtop Tiger say stuff like"Just take out the money from the joint wallet..."was said,isn't joint wallet is a stuff for couple?"Witness one said.
"Do you know the new fancy apartment near the school right? When i pass by i see from the window, Hanamura-kun is trying to wake her up! He said "If you don't wake up, i will not make your lunch.". Hehe...that's kinda...you know..."a female student added.
"And i accidentally saw Hanamura is feeding cookies to her yesterday afterschool...is this weird or what?"another student said.
Yosuke,who haven't heard about the rumors approached Taiga and whispered something.
"Eh? What is that?" the long haired student asked the student with the glasses.
"Shut up...i'm trying to understand what are they saying..."the student replied.
"Actually i...Midnight...So tonight...with me...don't want you to go...i must...don't worry okay?"the student could only hear some parts of their conversation.
"Tonight...with me...don't want you to go. It can only be that right?" the student start to spread some rumors.
"That means...tha Palmtop Tiger and Hanamura...will do that..."the kid with the glasses face become red.
"Hey... what are they talking about now?"the long haired student asked.
"But...what will happen if he is there again? He will try to kill you! And if something happened to you...i don't think i could live with it after knowing the truth! Answer me you idiot!"Taiga gave him a worried face,which shocks the other students.
"I don't have any other choice...i must know why he's doing all of this...that's why i will go. Alone,tonight...you stay at home and don't ever go there...if i don't come back..."Yosuke replied.
"You must come back! That is an order you stupid dog!" Taiga shouted.
"Huh? Is this mean Aisaka have a yakuza ex-boyfriend that try to kill Hanamura because he's dating her now?"the student with glasses become confused.
"You are right! This is bad! What should we do?"the long haired boy asked.
Suddenly,Minorin stood up and approached them with a serious face.
"Taiga."she dragged Taiga with her hands.
"What is it Mino-chan?"Taiga asked while trying to break free.
"You too."she said to Yosuke.
"Eh? Okay..."Yosuke nodded and follow her.
Rooftop.
Minrion suddenly stop and stare at the view.
"Hey,why were we called out?"Yosuke asked.
"I don't know either...this is the first time i see her like this...caould she be angry at something?"Taiga replied.
Minorin suddenly jumped at Yosuke and shouted "Hanamura-kun!"
"Ehh?"Yosuke shouted.
"I'll leave Taiga,all to you now!"she suddenly bow down.
"Huh?" Taiga and Yosuke asked.
"Hanamura-kun...this person,Taiga is my important friend! You have to bring her happiness!"Minorin said to both of them.
"No! That's not it!"Yosuke replied.
"I always know that Hanamura is Taiga's prince charming! So keep dating with ease!"Minorin said.
"Minorin-chan! This is a huge understanding! We're not like that at all!" Taiga replied in panic.
"So that how it is!" Kitamura's voice was heard.
Taiga and Yosuke turned around and found him and Ryuuji is standing there.
"Ah i was thinking why the two of you is getting together so well lately...but congratulations!"Kitamura clapped his hand.
"Wow...i can't believe you two alredy got along so well...you are amazing!"Ryuuji whispered to Yosuke.
"Kitamura-san..."Taiga froze on where she stand.
"I wish the best luck guys!" Kitamura said at Yosuke and Taiga.
"Kitamura-san..."Taiga began to lose concious.
"That idiot! He come at the wrong time!"Yosuke thought to himself in panic.
"If you make her cry, i will not forgive you Hanamura-kun!" Minorin gave her blessing.
"How about i treat you today man? You deserved it!"Ryuuji smiled at him.
And then a thought appeared in Yosuke's and Taiga's mind.
"How could this happened!"
2 PM,After School. New Junes Foodcourt.
Yosuke and Taiga are sitting there while keep thinking the events that happened today.
"Just where did we go wrong?"Yosuke asked her.
"I'm sorry..."Taiga replied.
"What?"Yosuke asked
"It's because we're always sticking together like this...that sort of things happened because i wanted things my way...even thought i called you my dog...i must have failed as your owner..."she replied.
"Saying that sort of thing...aren't she's the one who have been suffering from this?"Yosuke thought to himself.
"I've decided...tommorow i'm going to confess to Kitamura-san...and i'll put an end to this whole thing..."Taiga said
"Eh?"Yosuke replied.
"After tommorow...regardless how tommorow's conffesion goes,you won't have to follow me anymore. We will return as the way we are,only 2 person living together with nothing special...and i will try my best to forget these whole TV World incident and you can keep doing what you like."Taiga explained.
"I won't have to follow her anymore..."Yosuke thought to himself.
"But...i really want to thank you for what you did to me...it was really...haha,what is exactly i'm talking about? Yeah,i'm really glad i didn't die in that World and you keep taking care of me...I'm really clumsy after all...i have a bad relationship with my parents...and after i said i want my own house,they kicked me out and sent me to that apartment..."Taiga explained.
"..."Yosuke could only stare at her speechlessly.
"And so,it was already too late to back out...However,i wan't able to do housework which is really troubled me...absolutely no one came to see me...haha,i'm so stupid,i'm such a klutz..."she continued.
"Her story is simple...it was the story of an abandoned child,left behind in the castle...a lone doll..."Yosuke thought with sad emotions.
"By the way,they are salty aren't they? My cookies?"she asked.
"Eh?How did you know? "Yosuke replied.
"I actually taste one and they tasted horrible...but you eat them without hesitation...you even went so far as to lie..."she answered.
"Oh..."was the only reply Yosuke gave.
"You know...as a dog you are simply hopeless...but as a human you are all right...so,rather than making you follow me,i want you to be on the even grounds...i'll stop that already...tommorow,everything will be back to normal."Taiga replied.
Then somehow hanging out there become really akward.
5 PM,After noon.
"Ahh damn it! How can this world be cruel to us? Even though we are troubled by a lot of things!" Taiga said to Yosuke while walking home and find a lightning pole.
"That's right...it's like they don't understand that people like you could feel sad too..."Yosuke nodded.
"Ah! I'm so pissed!"she kicks the pole a few time.
"..."Yosuke could only stare in silence.
"Hey, Yosuke...when things go wrong or you have a problem,do you feel troubled by it?"Taiga asked.
"Yes i do."Yosuke replied.
"Well then...does Yosuke cry too?"she asked.
"I..."Yosuke try to find the right words.
"I cry. Now, i wonder did he think that i'm strange today...i worry that we will not get any closer today...or maybe he did have a girlfriend...thought they are really stupid thoughts...i'll think about them alone...that's because no one ever uderstand me...no one will understand me..."Taiga mumbled.
"If anyone know that you are like this...i think they will be suprised. No one thinks you ever cry like this...only i did."Yosuke replied.
"It's the same thing here. There's alot of people that didn't know the things i know about you. Your face looks like an idiot,but you are faced by problems that no one,even a genius ever solved or think of...you can't get mad at people...you are good at housework...you are a really kind person..."Taiga replied with a red face.
"Hey..."Yosuke started to blush.
"I'm the exact opposites...things like that just...pissed me off!"she suddenly kicked the pole strongly.
"Hey! Stop it!" Yosuke shouted.
"How can they called me the Palmtop Tiger? Do they think that i would not care or something?"she keps kicking at the pole furiously.
"..."Yosuke stared at her.
"Why does no one understand? Why doesn't anyone listen to what i say? Minorin,Kitamura,Takasu,my parents...are all stupid! I can't forgive any of them!"she was about to smashed her head to the pole,but Yosuke pulled her back.
"Idiot! Don't use your head!" Yosuke turned her around and find out that she is crying.
"Because no one...no one understands me!" Taiga shouted while tears are rapidly fell from her eyes.
"Taiga said that no one understands her...not even her parents,Ryuuji,Kitamura,or even Kushieda..."Yosuke thought to himself while slowly letting her go.
"It is just not fair...in this world,nearly everything is...there is just no one who sees things from my point of view..."Taiga kept crying.
"I'm so pissed too!" Yosuke shouted and kicked the pole.
"Yosuke!" Taiga stare at him in shock.
"There was probably no helping it...There are enemies in my life...Shadows and the Organization and everything...and yet, Taiga...she might very well have some even stronger enemies...they are not visible and can't be destroyed...sorry lighting pole,you have become the outlet of our anger and aggression..."Yosuke thought to himself.
"Get away from there!" Taiga shouted.
"Huh?"Yosuke turned at her and saw her running at the pole.
"Just you wait Kitamura! I'm goin to confess to you!" she kicks the pole with full strength and fell down by doing so.
"You idiot! You'll hurt your legs!"Yosuke sit down next to her and checked her up.
"Look Yosuke! The pole just tilted!"Taiga pointed.
"You are right! It's unbelievable!"Yosuke stare in awe.
Suddenly the sound of a police car was heard.
"Oh crap! We've got to go now!" Yosuke said to her.
"My legs! It hurts...i might have overdone it this time..."Taiga could not walk.
"Yeah seriously. Get on! Geez...you are so-"Yosuke bent down and Taiga suddenly jumped at his back.
"Hurry! The police car is approaching!" Taiga said.
"I know!" Yosuke replied and ran away.
6:30 PM,In front of Taiga's apartment.
"Taiga...you are a really harsh fellow. You are oppressive,selfish,and do whatever you want...But i..."Yosuke thought to himself but suddenly Taiga jumped down from his back.
"After this...i guess this is the end...you won't be my dog anymore. Do you have any last words to say to your master?I'll give 30 seconds..."Taiga asked.
"Last words? What should i say?"Yosuke asked himself.
"Hey,good luck tommorow!"Yosuke said with a red face.
"Thanks...Bye bye,Yosuke-kun."Taiga said with a smile and entered the apartment.
After hearing this...Yosuke suddenly ran away until he reached an empty alley.
"Hah...hah..."Yosuke try to catch his breath.
"Everything will be over after this."Taiga's words came to his mind.
"Damn it!" Yosuke shouted.
"Bye-bye,Yosuke-kun."her words came again.
"DAMN IT!" he shouted.
He then stare at his palm and covered his face with it.
"What is this feeling...i should be happy for her...but why i don't feel so satisfied? WHY?"Yosuke asked to himself and punched a wall.
Suddenly he heared footsteps behind him.
"Yosuke Hanamura isn't it?" a woman voice was heard.
"Who are you? Are you a part of Chrono's Organization?" Yosuke raised his palm at her and was ready to use Hamaon.
"My name is Mtsuru Kirijo...the head of the Shadow Operatives,i need to talk to you for a 't worry,we know all about Persona and the case in Inaba."Mitsuru introduced herself.
"Kirijo?Shadow Operatives? Fine...i think you could be trusted..."Yosuke nodded and followed her to a limosine.
Inside,there are three person who is sitting there,a man with a baseball cap,a young woman with light brown hair,and a blonde woman that seems so odd.
"First,i want to introduce you to my friends...Junpei Iori,Yukari Takeba,and is two more agents but one of them is on duty,and the other one is at our base."she introduced her friends.
"Sup dude. Junpei Iori is the name."the man with a baseball cap introduced himself.
"My name is Yukari,it's nice to meet you."the brown haired woman said.
"My name is Aigis,it's good to finally see you Yosuke Hanamura."the blonde woman said with a robotic tone.
"Okay...first of all,what the hell are you people?"Yosuke asked.
"The Shadow Operatives is a special force created by the Kirijo Group to deal with everything that have a connection with Persona and Shadows...an old friend of mine named Igor told me that there is something happening here. He said that you might give an useful information."Mitsuru explained.
"Well...to tell the truth,there is a mysterious organization that somehow brings back the Midnight Channel again,and i'm trying to discover what is it by myself. Is there somehow a connection between you and them?"Yosuke asked.
"Yes there is a connection. A few months ago,we discovered a mysterious black cube...it's so dark,so powerful...suddenly,some of our members gone mad and ran away with it along with our new tech the Anti-Persona Serum...we believe it has something to do with this mysterious organization..."Junpei explained.
"And what is this Anti-Persona Serum again?"Yosuke asked.
"The Anti-Persona Serum is a new biological weapon that enhances one individual body with the capability to absorb Persona's powers by touching the Persona."Aigis answered.
"That's it! That's how he managed to beat my Susano-O so easily!"Yosuke came up with a conclusion.
"So i was right...there is a connection with the incident...but could you tell us how do you fight this guy you were talking about? Igor said something about a special ability."Mitsuru asked.
"Oh,it's an ability called ability fuse my physical body with my Persona's gave me their moves and battle capabilities."Yosuke explained.
"So...what did you mean is...you could use your Persona's powers without summoning it? That seems a very logical way to fight those with the serum..."Yukari replied.
"Well...it seems there isn't anything we could do...i'm sorry but you have to defeat this Organization by yourself...we will try to gave as much information we can."Mitsuru explained.
"Thank you so much,it's really a great help."Yosuke replied and leave the limosine.
"Iori,please take him back to his house safely."Mitsuru said to Junpei.
"Hell no! I'm too tired after 12 hours in the airplane!"Junpei replied.
"Do you want to get executed?"Mitsuru asked.
"I'm sorry! Whatever...well i'm off."Junpei leaved the limosine and walked with Yosuke.
On the road.
"Hey Junpei-san,can i ask you something?"Yosuke asked.
"Sure kiddo."Junpei replied.
"There is this girl who lived together with me...after some incidents,i ended up helping her to confess to her crush...today,she said that all will be over tommorow since she will confessed to her crush...but somehow i feel unsatisfied...in fact,i feel sad about it..."Yosuke stopped and stare at him.
"You know what? I used to love a girl too...but i then know tjat she is my enemy and we fight her,but when i got shot after that,she sacrificed her own life just to save though i'm her enemy..."Junpei stared at the sky.
"I'm sorry...I don't know..." Yosuke muttered.
"Listen kid, imagine you are this girl that i like and your friend is me. Will you sacrifice your life for her?"Junpei asked.
"I will surely did!"Yosuke asnwered.
"Good...remeber this,a friend of mine taught me to never give up fighting for the one you love...even if they hurt your feelings...because they are one of a kind and are something that even the world could not explain. Do you got it?"Junpei asked.
"Yeah...kind of."Yosuke replied.
"Me too...but i'm sure we will find the true meaning of that when we find that one thing."Junpei replied and laugh together with Yosuke.
After they reached Taiga's apartment,Yosuke said good bye to Junpei and entered the room.
He looked at the clock.
"It's 10 PM...she must have fall asleep...well i better watch the Midnight Channel..."Yosuke waited for two hours.
00:00 AM
"Welcome to our very own...Midnight Channel!"the figure appeared again.
"Yeah,cut the crap out already!"Yosuke shouted.
"I must say sorry for our guest Yosuke Hanamura that tonight show have been cancelled...we can't think who is suited for the next participant..."the figure said.
"Eh?"Yosuke asked.
"But,we decided to...kill all of your friends! 4 person is better than 1 isn't it? Don't worry...we will send a special gift you to apologize for cancelling today's show...thank you for tuning in!"the TV suddenly turned off.
"You've got to be joking me...i better go to sleep now or i'll be late tommorow...i guess i must face this weird gift or whatever."Yosuke thought to himself and fell asleep.
Velvet Room.
Yosuke opened his eyes and see Igor was there,along with Margaret.
"Yosuke,we would like to tell you about something..."Igor said.
"Huh? What?"Yosuke asked.
"Your Persona,Susano-O is fully recovered and ready to use."Igor said.
"Awesome! Thanks man,anything else?"Yosuke smiled.
"Do you ever think what it would be like if you can combine your Persona?"Igor asked.
"Well...it will be really cool seeing a Persona that can acces many moves and have the ablilities of the Persona i used to fuse...wait,don't tell me..."Yosuke gasped.
"I happily say that the Fusing System is ready for you to use."Igor explained.
"Super! But how can i fuse Persona?"Yosuke asked.
"Just give me 2 Persona and i will fuse them easily,without delay."Margaret explained.
"So,do you want to fuse your Susano-O with Metatron? I have the feelings that this new Persona you create will surely aid you in your journey..."Igor asked.
"Do it now! Please please please please please?"Yosuke begged.
"Yes."Igor answered.
"Hooray! let's do this!"Yosuke summoned Metatron and gave it to Margaret,along with Susano-O.
The two Persona then fused into something bright.
A silver figure then appeared. It looks like a knight's armor coloured silver with golden lines.
"I am thou,thou am i...My name is Omega...let's create a path together...a path of justice and light."the Persona introduced himself.
"Awesome!"Yosuke then take look of his skill set.
Omega, Fool Arcana.
Weakness: None. Strong:All.
-Hamaon.
-Garudyne.
-Primal Force.
-Chorus Of Souls.
"Cool! Then let's merge!" Yosuke called,but Omega just standing there silently.
"Oh...it seems this Persona needs to be fueled first...we will tell you when it's ready."Igor said.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Yosuke replied and woke up.
"7:20 AM,Taiga's apartment
"I overslept!"Yosuke woke up and realize that Metatron have dissapeared from his body.
After he found out that Taiga have gone to school,he decided to take a bath and rush to school.
"I felt weird...after i'm free from her my life should be easier but...i wonder if Taiga is okay doing everything on her own..."Yosuke thought while running to his class.
He then was shocked when he found out that the classroom is trashed. He then stare at Taiga who was standing in the middle.
"Do you guys understand? If any of you guys say any more useless crap. I definitely won't let you off easily..."Taiga said to the students.
"Yes! We understand!" the students answered in fear.
"What the heck is this Taiga?"Yosuke asked.
The students then go apologize to him about the gossips they made about him.
"Just what are you talking about? Did Taiga did all of this?" Yosuke asked the boy with the glasses.
"Well...we had been gossiping about you and the Palmtop Tiger have been going out,and when she heared it,she burst into rampage like a firestorm and shouted "There is nothing between Hanamura and me." like tried to stop her too,but it was useless."he explained.
"Is it true Kushieda-san?"Yosuke asked her.
"Yeah... but you know...for Taiga to do something like this is..."Minorin replied.
"What's with this disaster area? Is there any reason for such recklessness?"Kitamura suddenly entered the room.
"Kitamura-san...there is something i want to tell you after school..."Taiga said in a somehow her usual tone.
"She made it...without acting clumsily or falling nervous she managed in calling Kitamura out by herself."Yosuke thought.
After Scool, 2 PM
Taiga and Kitamura walked out from the class together and Yosuke followed them secretly.
"This is Taiga after all...she still might do something clumsy...It's not right to follow her but,she might fall,or maybe trip on the staircase. When the time finally comes she might be too nervous to say anything...she might cry. These are things only i can understand...It worries me so- Wait,why am i being hyper dramatic again at the first time?"Yosuke asked himseld and followed them.
"But again...Taiga makes me worry so...? So just what? I'm going to help her? So then what do i do? What can i even do? We have gone back to step one after all...That girl is confessing to her crush,so even she happens to mess up,just how i the world i'm able to help her? Should i go home?" This question entered Yosuke's mind.
He then decided to go to the bathroom first,the place where he always get the answer.
"Throughout the day and during break...as time count down her face became more and more disturbed. Now that she is confessing she should making a cute an akward girl...Speaking of akward...it isn't necessary for her to do something like that this morning...just so people would not misunderstand me...hor my sake..."Yosuke thought.
He then stare at his palms.
"But Taiga...she never did something outrageous like that for her own sake...That is Kitamura wasn't there when she make the big scene...so in other words...she do it all for me..."Yosuke began to feel emotional.
"That's right...she- That day when Taiga cried saying she could not be nice to other people...What the hell? Aren't you actually the nicest one?" At least in my opinion you-"Yosuke thought to himself,but he suddenly heared Taiga's voice from below.
"Kitamura-kun!I- Umm..."Taiga face started to become red.
"Ehhh? Why are they doing this next to the bathroom?" Yosuke thought to himself and bent down so that he could peek without having them find out.
"I can hear you perfectly you klutz. Luckily i'm the only one in the bathroom now...but what if someone heared you? I guess i must guard this spot...let's close the window now."Yosuke was about to close the window but he stopped.
"Wait a second! I'm not entirely sure,but i feel like i know what are you trying to say. However,there is one thing i want to check before i hear you out. Are you and Hanamura-kun going out right now?"Kitamura asked.
"Oh crap...this is bad! Listening to his isn't just right...but i have too! I have to hurry up and close the window!"Yosuke thought to himself,but he can't stop peeking at them.
"Hanamura is...he is...he...ahh..."Taiga mumbled.
"Hurry up you idiot! What are you waiting for? Tell him it's not like that!" Yosuke thought to himself.
"I...i love you Kitamura-san!" Taiga said while blushing.
Yosuke then sit down and smiled in relief.
"Yes! You are awesome Taiga! You managed to do it...even when you could not talk to him properly...even if you afraid..." Yosuke thought to himself.
"So the whole thing with Hanamura is just a misunderstanding...it was Kushieda's misunderstanding...i'm sorry..."Kitamura replied.
"This is...how it should go."Yosuke stood up and was about to leave.
"But!" Taiga suddenly shouted.
"Ehh? What is it now?"Yosuke turned back.
"It's not like i hate Hanamura-kun! I really don't hate him! When i'm with him,i can breath easily even though i actually can't! Hanamura...no Yosuke made me a really good person! When i'm wanted someone to be by my side, only Yosuke was by my side!"Taiga shouted.
"Taiga..."Yosuke started to blush.
"I always want to be with him! I always feel that way,even now...It hurts...As if i'm being torn apart. Always...because Yosuke was there...all the time...For me Yosuke is..."Taiga try to catch her breath.
"You idiot! What are you saying? If yous ay things like that. It's as if you..."Yosuke stared at them.
"It's okay...i think i could understand Aisaka-san feelings...it's a relief that you have been a good friend with Hanamura."Kitamura said.
"A relief?"Taiga asked.
"Yes...do you remember a year ago when i confessed to you?"Kitamura asked.
"Okay...emotional flashback time..."Yosuke try to imagine what they said.
"You are pretty,and you never hide your anger in front of anyone! I confessed and dumped a second later."Kitamura explained.
"I remember...there is no way i forget. Kitamura-san is the only one who would make a weird confession like that. So whenever i saw you and Minorin talking to each other i thought "Oh it's that person..."."Taiga replied.
"Dude...it's the first time i've heard about this..."Yosuke thought to himself.
"But ever since you've met Hanamura,you've gotten more attractive...because you make funny expressions now."Kitamura said.
"Funny expressions? Me?" Taiga asked bashfully.
"When you are with Hanamura,you make really funny faces...That's why i'm relieved that Hanamura is such a good guy. And i think Aisaka is great for being able to see Hanamura that way."Kitamura nodded.
"I! What did i say?Wait...Yosuke got nothing to do with this!"Taiga began to panic.
"It's okay Aisaka-san."Kitamura replied.
"What do you mean it's okay?"Taiga asked.
"Thank you for liking me. We will probably become good friends now."Kitamura smiled at her.
"Friends? Kitamura want to be friends with me?"Taiga asked.
"Ahh..."Yosuke sit down and stare sadly at the ceilings.
"But i want to become lovers..."Taiga thought sadly.
"See you tommorow."Kitamura waved goodbye and leaved.
"Bye..."Taiga replied.
"Kitamura wasn't able to understand the emotions you hide...and how kind you really are. How easily are you hurt. You weren't able to understand it. Aftet this,i'm sure Taiga will...turn her back on Kitamura and cry where no one could hear her...she'll cry alone. What should i do then? I'm the only one who understand it..."Yosuke sighed.
Taiga then leaved the school,with Yosuke following her from behind.
"You aren't my dog anymore...you don't need to be with me."Taiga realize he was following her and stare at him.
"I know you want to cry,you failed your confession,even though it's diffrent than being shot down."he smiled at her.
"You! You were listening the whole thing right?"Taiga asked.
"How should i know you will do it under the men's restroom from all the places?"Yosuke asked.
"I did?"Taiga asked with a red face.
"Hey,where do you want to go? What do you want to eat tonight? I'll listen to all of your complaints,and it's my treat."Yosuke asked.
"What are you saying? Why are you...i said it's okay already! We stopped that kind of things already..."Taiga asked back
"I'm staying by your side."Yosuke explained.
"Eh?"Taiga asked.
"I'll cook you food,i'll wake you up,i'll make you lunch,and i will listen to all of your -"Yosuke explained.
"No! What if people misunderstand again?"Taiga asked.
"It's fine with that happened,this time i will get mad and break things. If Kitamura is there i will get mad to fix the misunderstanding."Yosuke smiled at her.
"Why? There is no need for you to do that anymore..."Taiga began to cry.
"I don't know myself...but i want to do that...because when i got worried or when you cry,i can't leave you alone."Yosuke explained.
"Who asked you to do something like that? I'm not a child so leave me alone! I don't want you to be worried about me!"Taiga shouted.
"I'm not your dog anymore...that's right. But,i will stay next to you as a way we will be on the even ground."he try to cheer her up.
"What...what do you mean by saying we are on the even ground? Know your place as a dog you idiot! Besides...do you like me or something? Idiot!"she wiped her tears off and returned to her old self.
"It's good to see you back..."Yosuke thought to himself with a smile.
"Well,i'm going home,i'm hungry and i want yakiniku for dinner,i want you to buy the meat and come home at 5 okay? Do you get it idiot?."Taiga turned around and asked.
"Yeah sure,whatever..."Yosuke sighed and walked to the supermarkt.
"Hehe...he said "I can't leave you alone" to me..."Taiga quietly giggled and walked home.
4 PM,Junes Supermarket.
Yosuke was on the way out where he suddenly bumped into a woman.
The woman dropped her wallet,after Yosuke picked it up he returned it to him.
"Mam,here's your...oh crap you are pretty."Yosuke stare in awe and gave the wallet back.
"Thank you kind lad...hey,do where is the location of your school?"she asked after she saw Yosuke's uniform.
"Uhh...it's just right there,go here and there."Yosuke gave her the location.
"Thank you boy...then i will be leaving now..."she leaved him along,but somehow Yosuke could saw a faint smile in her face.
"Oh well...let's get home."Yosuke said to himself.
A message then appeared.
