Chapter Four
"Looks like he beat your shadow, Kisuke."
"Ha-ha, yeah I guess. It didn't last very long either."
"He had the help of that 'Messiah.'"
"What now?"
"Lord Aizen, Requesting Permission to go mess with our friend."
"Why? So you can sleep with him like you do everyone else?"
"Hey, chill out Kazzie, a girl like me Does whatever and Whoever she wants, *giggle*"
"…….Anyone else notice the hidden message in that?"
"She's just a slut."
"Maybe so, but I looove it. Don't get upset cause I have all the attention you want Mai, it makes you way more hideous than you already are."
"You little bitch!!"
"Mai, settle down."
"…Forgive me."
"……You may go."
"Thank you!"
Kyoshiro Akechi7/8/12
I woke up filled with energy today, I had went to bed early the previous morning so that I wouldn't be so sluggish for my plans with Yukari. I made sure to dress a little, more proper than usual and I made sure I had a lot of money. I wore a buttoned up white shirt with a muscle shirt underneath, along with black jeans. I thought I looked pretty good. While I was fixing my hair, I thought for a moment about what I had been doing recently. If necessary, will I really give my life for something I didn't care about? I won't try to hide the fact that I don't have much value for my life, I don't even feel I have much to live for, but I still don't know if I would give it up for the sake of the world...
A knock came from my door and knocked me out of my trance, so I went to open it. Yukari was there, she was wearing a low-cut short pink dress, and it hugged her body and exposed her shoulders. I was right when I met her. She was hot. Without realizing it, I checked her out, which is something I never done before. I looked upward and then suddenly felt a flick on my forehead.
"Don't be such a guy."
"It's not my fault!" I said defensively then I mumbled, "You shouldn't look so good if its that much of a problem..."
"What was that?" She said as she raised her foot.
Suzaku had warned me about Yukari raising foot. So I had to think quick.
"UM...UH....I SAID I AM SUCH A GUY, SUCH A HORNY BASTARD! HAHA…HA…." I blurted out.
She stared me down for a moment. I think I had said too much, even though I didn't mean anything I had just said.
"Did I come in at a bad time.…?" We heard Kei ask from the door.
I strongly believe he had saved me with that.
"No! Not at all! What's up?" I chuckled nervously.
"Nothing really…. Bored as always." He responded. "Going somewhere?"
"We're going to the mall."
"Wow, you've been here four days and you're already dating?" he asked with his usual lazy expression.
"It's not a date, he's making something up to me." Yukari explained.
"Oh so it's an apology date."
"No."
"Pity date?"
"No."
"Blind date?"
"No."
"Play date?"
"No…."
Yukari seemed to be getting a little annoyed.
"Mock Date?"
"No…."
"Friendly date."
"Yes….wait, no!"
"Jealousy date?"
"NO!"
"One night stand date?"
"WHAT!?"
I decided to jump in. "I asked her to show me around Kei-kun."
"Oh…mind if I tag along? Nothing much to do here.." he asked.
"Sure."
I won't lie. For some reason I found myself wanting to get to know Yukari alone, just the two of us. But I had to get to know my roommate too.
So we all left together, took the train, and arrived at the mall. I think it was called paulonia? Pawlonia? I can't remember that far back.
"Wow, this is a mall? I asked in amazement.
"It's no big deal really." Kei said.
"Speak for yourself, I've been in an orphanage my whole life, EVERYTHING is amazing to me." I told him.
We went in, and it was even cooler inside, I felt Yukari yank me by the arm over to a clothing store.
"Let's start over there!" she said.
"W-wait, can't we look around first? I never been to a mall before!" I said, trying to resist being pulled.
Hell was about to raise up………and only I would be feeling the burn. At least for now anyway.
So she did as promised, and started robbing me blind. She bought at least one of everything in EVERY STORE!! And then made me carry all the heavy bags.
And then, it happened……I never saw it coming……if I hadn't played my cards right, I've could've been killed…
SHE TOOK ME TO AN ALL WOMANS STORE!!!
I dropped the bags, "Hell no, NO! No way!" I protested.
She gave me an evil smile. "You don't have a choice."
"Yeah, I do! And I say we aren't—"
-STOMP!-
"UGH!! OWOWOWOWOWOWOWWW!!!!!"
Suzaku was right! She has the heels of death!!
-STOMP!!-
"OK OK!!!! FINE!!!"
She smiled again in triumph and lead the way, I followed her limping, trying not to walk on my new oversized foot.
Pretty soon though, I was glad I came.
It was all Lingerie!
"Um, why are you bringing me here?" I said, getting a bit sweaty.
"Relax, your only here because your paying for everything."
I wont tell everyone what she bought…………but they were freaking amazing… even though I was a gentleman, the guy in me was coming out, and I could get pretty perverted, so I gave Yukari the money and walked outside for a moment. Then I heard music over by a small crowd. It sounded like pop music sang by a woman. I was curious, so I went to have a look.
"What's going on?" I asked someone who stood nearby.
The man ignored me and continued to watch.
I saw someone standing up on a small stage; she was dancing and singing with a small mic in her hand. She wore a bright red and small tank top that showed off her bellybutton and a drape-like skirt. She was a brunette with short hair. Behind her was a band, a guy on drums, keyboard, electric guitar, and bass.
"Who is that?" I asked the same person.
"Are you retarded? That's Naomi Misura!!" he told me.
I looked back up to the singer. She spun around a couple of times and then locked her eyes with mine, and then winked cheerfully. I don't know why, but that suddenly gave me butterflies.
Once the song ended, the people who were listening scattered. And the band began packing up.
I turned around to leave when I heard someone call me. So I turned back around again.
It was Naomi Misura, she jumped off the stage and walked over to me, she walked like a woman, she swung her hips hard. She was smoking hot, and very charismatic, and she knew it and showed it off. I have to admit, I was kind of attracted. The skirt was short and she had wore it kind of low on her body, so that you clearly see just a bit below her hips. If it was any lower, you would clearly be able to see her…wait a sec, SHE WASN'T WEARING ANY-
"Hey there, I guess your new here." She said.
Man, she was beautiful.
" Uh…..how do you know that?" I asked.
"You didn't seem to go crazy over my music. –giggle-"
"Oh, right. Hahaha" I laughed out nervously.
"What's your name?" she asked.
"Akeshi ikoishor" I said.
"…what??" she asked.
It took me a few seconds to realized what just happened…why was I panicking? Maybe it was because she was a celebrity…
"I mean, Kyoshiro Akechi."
She held her hand out. "Nice to meet you."
I shook her hand gently, and then she gave me another wink while sticking her tongue out slightly.
Ok, I was way more then attracted.
Kei Megami
I was just walking around the mall, aimlessly. at some point, Yukari and Kyoshiro had left me, but I didn't mind.
I wasn't paying attention to where I was going and I accidentally bumped into someone. I looked toward him to apologize.
"Kei-senpai?"
"...? SETA-KUN?!"
Yukari Takeba
I walked out the lingerie shop with my new perfume in hand. Someone had sold it to me cheap, and I just put it on. It smelled amazing. When I looked ahead, I saw Kyo holding a girls Hand. I was shocked to see who it was. It was Naomi Misura!
Naomi was a popular 19 year old pop-star. She was recently rated number 1!
Kyoshiro Akechi
As I let go of Naomi's hand. i smelled something. Its smell was.......captivating.
"Kyo-kun!" I heard Yukari's voice call out to me..
I turned around to her....and my heart started racing......I saw hearts form around her.......she seemed to be walking toward me in slow motion.......her beautiful hair was blowing in the wind...(which was weird, since we were indoors.) I looked deep into her Hazel eyes...and said the words I felt I wanted to say to her since I met her, and I wanted to tell her forever from here on..
Yukari Takeba
"Yukari!" Kyo shouted, turning to me and walking toward me slowly.
I stopped, he seemed a little serious.
He suddenly wrapped his arms around me, and kissed me!
Naomi Misura
Kyo kissed the girl!!
"MMM?!" she said as she blushed heavily.
Kyo pulled her closer and pressed his chest against hers... I had no idea as to what was going on...
When he finally pulled back, he looked into her eyes and said; "I love you...Yukari Takeba...I love you so much..."
She trembled in shock. Then when Kyo tried kissing her again, she pushed him back, but he wouldn't let go. She kept pushing until she finally broke free.
"MY LOVE!! COME BACK!!!" he said as she ran.
................................what just happened?
Yukari Takeba
What just happened?!
He just met me!! How could he go and say that?
"I'm going to catch you my honey bunny!" I heard him shout! "This game will end very soon"
Shit! he's faster than me! but only because I had all these bags, luckily, I was about to pass Kei! so as I ran past him I dropped all my stuff in front of him and this sliver haired kid he was with.
Authors note: in case you cant already tell, Kyo is Charmed.
Kei Megami
"Here, hold all this" she said as she dumped all her stuff on me. There was a lot, if it wasn't for Seta-kun's help, I would've drowned. As I stood up, I was Kyo run by too.
"Here I come sweetums!"
I knew there was something going on with them.
"Do you know those two?" Seta asked.
"............no." I said
Yukari Takeba
"Listen Kyo-kun! I understand that you have feelings for me, but its way too soon! I'm sorry but I have no interest in you, not like that at least! Just give it time, and maybe, just maybe, EEEK!!!" I tried reasoning with him until he tried grabbing me and I managed to sprint further away.
It turns out that without the bags, I WAS faster. Good. Things were looking up...until.
"Go Leliel!! Bring me my love!!"
He wasn't going to use his persona in front of everyone?!
Leliel burst forward and flew after me, I tried Sprinting faster but it was no use. He was about to grab me, until I was pulled out of site by someone. He pulled me into a store and hid.
"What's going on?! Who's that Persona User?!" I heard him ask.
I turned to him, out of breath.
"Akihiko-senpai!!" I shouted in joy and relief.
"Come out Baby, you cant hide forever!!" I heard Kyo shout out from outside the store.
"Baby?" senpai questioned.
"That's Kyo-kun, he's a new persona user from my school. I think he was charmed." I explained.
Senpai reached in his pocket and put on his gloves.
"I got him." he said as he ran out the store and toward Kyo.
By time Kyo realized it, Senpai gave Kyo a right hook, that sent him sliding across the ground.
"K.O!!" I still got it! ha-ha!" senpai shouted in victory.
I ran over to Kyo to see if he was ok. he sat up, shooked his head and rubbed his cheek.
"Ow...what the hell is going on? What was i just doing? I cant remember…" he said with a small laugh.
"You um...tripped. remember?" I bluffed.
"oh, that's right." he said.
"He ok?" senpai said as he walked over.
"Yeah Akihiko-senpai, he's fine." I told him.
and then I introduced him to Kyo.
Kyoshiro Akechi
"Nice to meet you Akihiko-san." I told him. he nodded.
Nothing had happened today; I thought everything was going to be fine.
"Look out!" Akihiko shouted.
I looked over a few feet and saw a fireball coming at us!
Dammit! No breaks since I got this damn power!
I got up and grabbed Yukari then jumped away. Akihiko followed.
The attack hit the wall and exploded. People began screaming and running around in panic.
The person who had done this was wearing some black clothing, with red gloves, he had a helmet on, so I couldn't see his face.
He ran out the door behind him along with two other people.. I wasn't about to let them get away. I chased after them. Then the guy with the gloves tossed another fireball at the ceiling. And it came crashing down behind me. When I looked back, I could only sit and watch helplessly as I saw a child crushed underneath the rubble. I clenched my death and made a fist out of anger, and then bursted out the door, pursuing the attackers.
When I got outside, I saw the two attackers riding off on bikes, and luckily there was one more for me to grab.
So I got on it, grabbed the clutch and kicked it into first gear. Then it shot of with so much force that I almost fell off. I'm glad I had a bike license.
They didn't get to far ahead, They was still in sight so I could follow them.
Yukari Takeba
When I got up, there was smoke everywhere.
It was hard to breath; I looked in front of me and gasped in horror. In front of me, the entrance to the mall was caved in, and underneath it a saw the arm of a child, covered in blood.
I had to get out of here, so I looked for the nearest exit. It was hard to get around with the crowd running around, but I eventually made it.
I stood outside and caught my breath. Then I saw Kyo speed by me on a Motorcycle.
Was he after someone?
"Takeba! Get in!"
Akihiko senpai was in a Nissan Skyline type-R. It was red with a white spoiler and tinted windows. It looked like something out of Need for Speed. (Owned by EA Games, not me. just saying this in case.)
I got into the car and put on the seat belt. The inside looked customized and it was a stick shift. This was definatly a racecar. Senpai revved the engine and shifted into first gear, the car shot off at great speed.
"Senpai?! Where did you get this? How did you afford it?" I asked
He smirked and said, "Its amazing, what you can get at a police auction for cheap. This car was taken from an illegal street racer in Tokyo. It has Turbo, Nos, special breaks, everything. And I added one last thing for this kind of situation."
He flipped a switch as he quickly shifted into fourth gear, making the car shoot forward to push me into my seat. The switch turned on a siren on the car.
"Where is Kyo-kun going?" I asked
"He's following the ones who did this.," he said.
"Let's catch up to him!"
Kyoshiro Akechi
I chased them all the way to the highway, and I caught up too. but since it was the highway, it meant I had to dodge a lot of cars.
The one with the gloves threw a fireball back, and I moved out the way.
Then suddenly, one of the attackers had a rifle with the bayonet blade at the end, then that crazy bastard jumped off his bike and lunged at me!
I did not know how, but I had to defend myself, and quick, then as if the power from above heard my wish, a sword appeared into my hand. I was not about to think of how it ended up there, I raised the blade into the air, and blocked the attack coming from the bayonet warrior. Through his helmet, I could see him smirk at me. The pressure caused the bike to swerve but I was able to keep enough control with one hand. Then my enemy jumped off me and then hoped on the back of the one of the others bike.
"Talk about acrobatics.." I said to myself.
"Seems like he's itching to fight. Inoue! Clear the roads will ya?" he shouted through his helmet.
"Who do you think your ordering around?" the other one said as he stopped his bike and lifted his hand in the air. "Ryujin! Tsunami!"
Then a giant snake-like dragon rose from him then flew into the air, following that it dove into ground and created a huge wave that engulfed me, and everything within a mile of the highway, maybe more.
Akihiko Sanada
"Damn, where us he?" I mumbled
Suddenly, to answer my question, in the distance on the highway, water shot up like an explosion and rained back down.
"What's that?!" Yukari shouted nervously.
I went to top speed and headed for the highway.
Kyoshiro akechi
I struggled to get up, it was raining and I was soaked. If it wasn't for my persona, I likely would have died. But all those people, they weren't so lucky.
I was the only survivor..
I finally got up and looked forward to see the three people in white cloaks standing in front of me.
"You...you killed all those people!!" I yelled angrily.
He simply shrugged.
"Say something you bastard!! Who are you guys?!"
He removed his hood to show me his face. "I am Akira Inoue of the Hanged Arcana. Number XII (12) Of the Arcane XIII (13, this is not a KH rip, I swear that on my life)"
Setsuna's Brother!?
The other two removed their hoods too. One had red hair, he was the one with the fire gloves. "Kazuya Minamoto, Number VIII" The other one had black hair and held his bayonet over his shoulder. "Kisuke Saika, Number I."
"Why are you doing this? What would Setsuna think!?" I asked him.
"My sister won't know until the world is renewed." he said calmly.
I made a fist, and was ready to explode. "None of these people deserved to die!!! With what you just did and the attack at the mall, you could've just killed over one hundred people in just one hour!"
"So? Big deal. There are plenty of more humans around the globe." Kazuya said.
"What I do is for the good of everyone, the good of Setsuna." Akira said.
"There's no good about this!! Just Destruction and Murder!!!" I gripped onto the blade in my hand. "I'm going to stop you from hurting anyone else, Right now!"
"Humph, you can try." he said as water floated up from the flooded ground and formed into his hand, and then it took a solid shape of a sword.
"You seriously think you could take all three of us? Ha-ha-ha." Kazuya said as fire enveloped his hands and turned into red gauntlets.
The three of them got ready. I had my work cut out for me, if was still new to this, and I had to fight three people at once, and by the look of it, they were also persona users.
Kazuya ran toward me and swung at me but I ducked and got Akira in my sights.
I ran toward him and swung the sword but he simply arched his back and dodged the attack my slightly moving his head back, and then Kisuke swung his bayonet at me. I managed to block it just it in time but the force of the blow knocked me back, I caught myself and looked up in time to see the next attack.
"Ryujin!" Akira said, and the water dragon came at me, I managed to roll out the way as it flew past me and disappeared. I was doing ok...yeah right.
When I looked up I saw Kisuke holding his rifle at me and began firing bullets, I held my sword in front of me for protection, lucky for me the blade was big. My comfort disappeared when I heard a shout behind me, when I turned to see what it was I saw Kazuya punch the ground, then ground began to shake and cracks came at me, as they made their way toward me I saw the cracks start to get red with fire.
"Bad!" I said as I quickly jumped to the side to avoid the cremation. I tried dodging Kisuke's bullets too, but as I got up from my roll, a bullet hit me in my upper left arm. Now, I don't care what you see in video games or TV. If you get shot, I promise you, you WILL scream.
"Gaaaaaargh!!!" I said as I fell onto one knee in pain. I tried not to close my eyes and clench my teeth. If I even blinked too long it could be all over for me.
Akira charged at me, flipped into the air and swung downward with his sword, I reached up fast enough to block it with the blade, which seemed a lot heavier now since I could only use one arm.
"When you have the opportunity call me forth and use Dia." (Whenever the font is like this, Leliel or another persona is speaking)
"I hope you aren't giving it you all, because this is pathetic.," he taunted.
I threw him off me and got some distance, but he closed it in no time, he was fast. He got down gave me a kick to the chin so hard that it knocked me into the air. Then he opened his hand in my direction and then closed it, water came from the ground and slammed me into the wall. Then as a follow up, he jammed his knee in my gut. The force made a small crater in the wall. Then he grabbed me, pulled me away from the wall and threw me in the opposite direction.
Then Kazuya came and smashed his fist into my face with force, sending me spiraling across the flooded terrain. Fortunately, this gave me some space, I quickly got up and focused as hard as I could.
"Leliel, Di-" I was cut off by Kisuke running to me and swinging his bayonet I quickly ducked and Elbowed him on the chin then spun around and swung the sword at him with all the power I had. The attack connected and sent him through the air, but he caught himself in mid-air and skin across the ground as he landed safely. That didn't matter though; I had the space I needed.
"Leliel, Dia!" Heeding my command, Leliel came out of my body spread his wings, I felt relaxed as a light had shined around me and the bullet wound, bruises and cuts I had began to glow then eventually heal.
"He's finally fighting back." Kisuke chuckled as he rubbed his chin.
"The red-haired one is fire…try doing.." Leliel explained a plan he had in mind, and if I did it right; it might make this fight more fair, if only a little.
I quickly dashed toward Kazuya and began to swing my blade but he raises his arm and blocked it with his gauntlet.
"Ha-ha-ha-ha! Did you seriously think you was fast enough to pull that off?" He laughed.
"No, I didn't!" I said. I had to try this I hoped it would work. I pushed forward with everything I had to knock him off balance.
"Bufu!" I said as a chilling energy of ice covered my hand, but instead of attacking him with it, I quickly dipped my sword in the water to get it wet, and then ran my hand over the sword, causing the water to freeze over and sharpen on the sword.
Realizing what I was doing, a look of surprise and shock cave over Kazuya's face and he tried to retaliate, but I attacked before he could do so. He grunted in pain and quickly jumped back, holding his hand over his ribs, where I struck.
"D-damn it! Ugh" Kazuya said looking like he was struggling to move.
"This is how you use ice!" Akira said as he placed his hands onto the ground and spikes of ice shot up from the ground. I moved back quickly so none of them impaled me, but I did get a couple of cuts here and there.
"Zephyrus! Garudyne!" I heard Kisuke shout and before I knew it I was caught up in the air by a strong gust of wind.
Leliel gave me more commands, and figuring he knew more about battle then I did, I listened.
"Green wall!" I said, then green barrier surrounded me as the tornado got thinner and thinner, I could tell that if I didn't have the shield, the wind speed would have cut me up all over.
One the wind was gone, I quickly broke the barrier and dashed toward Kisuke and then kicked him into the wall, leaving a crater. For a moment I was shocked, not knowing I had that much power in me.
"Just you and me now Akira!" I said as I turned to him and swung my sword but before I could swing the whole way, he grabbed my wrist in a tight grip.
"Ill admit, you did a little better than I had originally thought, But we have things to do, and you WONT get in the way." He said, then he spun around and tosses me into the air, then jumped after me and kicked me downward, I managed to catch myself and roll at the way as he came down and tried to kick me. His foot hit the ground instead and left a crater.
"Ryujin!" He said as the dragon popped out of him, this time it caught me off guard and I was swallowed up. The dragon then kept flying forward into it smashed into the wall, slamming me along with it as it broke apart into splashing water.
Determined to finish this with me as the one on top I quickly kicked off the wall and ran toward Akira.
"I'm not finished yet!" I impaled him with my sword and smiled in triumph, until his body turned into liquid.
Soon I felt his presence behind me.
"Yes, you are!" He said as I felt a slash across my back. I doubled over but he didn't relent, he grabbed me and slammed me into the ground. Then impaled me in the stomach, I shouted out louder then I ever have and nearly blacked out. But I remained strong. Following that he jumped into the air and then a blue aura surrounded him.
I knew what he was going to do and tried to fight the pain and move out the way, but then I discovered that the sword was impaled in me completely and also stuck into the ground below me. So I could not move!
"Ryujin! Ice storm!" Akira said as the dragon appeared behind him, but this time instead of charging at me, it opened its mouth and blew its breath at me. As it breathed out, from the breath shot out tons of sharp icicles, directly at me. All I could do was try to raise my arms in front of me and hope they would prevent the icicles from piercing my chest or my head. I was stabbed all over a few even went through my arms, which made me glad that it wasn't through my head instead.
When I no longer felt the icicles raining down on me looked upward from beneath my arms I saw the dragon start flying down toward me, but instead of being in its liquid form, it had taken a solid frozen one. Just as the attack was about hit and maybe even kill me, a spear was held in front of me and blocked the attack. A look of surprise came over Akira's face as he landed back onto the ground. When I looked over to my savior, I saw a man with black hair, one bang almost completely covered the right side of his face. He stood over me quietly staring at Akira.
"Hiei…" Akira said quietly.
"None of you had Authorization to attack the target, Number VI should have been the only one to come anywhere near him." The man with the spear had, I assumed that his name was Hiei.
"Hmph, I don't understand why we have to wait! Can't we just kill him now?!" Kazuya shouted.
"We need to give the Seal time before we break it." Hiei said. This guy was soft spoken, and when I mean soft spoken, I mean he spoke very gentle-like, but not as if he was shy or intimidated, the type that tell you that if this voice has to raise itself, your in trouble. At the same time, he also seemed like the type that wants to avoid trouble, like he wouldn't want to fight but he would if it was necessary.
"Tch…Fine, lets go." Akira mumbled as he disappeared out of thin air!
Kazuya glared at me and disappeared same. After Kisuke gave me a quick "Ill see you soon." And a wave, he and Hiei both followed suit.
The sword in my stomach turned back into water ant spilled over me. I didn't have the strength to get up, I could only hope that someone would show up soon as I lost consciousness..
Yukari Takeba
Senpai and me ran over to Kyo, who was bleeding all over.
"Kyo-kun! What happened!?"
He looked up past me and at the sky with a defeated look "........They were…so strong….....I managed to do some damage but I could never take them….and.....I never stood a chance against him..." After that he passed out. He had cuts all over him and a big blade wound through his stomach, that certainly would have killed him if he wasn't a persona user.
"They messed him up bad…" Akihiko-senpai said as he kneeled beside me.
"Do you want to help him?" I heard a woman's voice say. I looked around trying to figure out who it was.
"Who said that?" I said out loud.
"Said what?" Senpai asked me.
"Summon me…" the voice spoke again.
Just then my head began to hurt, last time I had felt like this was when I first summoned Io.
"Who are you…" I thought to this voice that I had realized was coming from my head.
"I am Angita, you know what u must do.."
I nodded and stood up.
"Angita, Mediarama."
I persona came from inside me and floated above Kyo.
Thou art I, and i am tho
From thy will to restore the people thy care for, I come forth
I am Angita, Goddess Of Healing.
All of Kyo's wounds glowed and began to close up, his bruises disappeared and clothes repaired.
But, healed or not, he was still unconsciousness, and we had to get out of here.
I looked at Senpai, who seemed a bit shocked that I had gained another persona. He looked back at me as I said.
"Im not carrying him into the car.."
