Chapter 2 new goals and teams
Yosuke looked at the man in front of him and saw a women with blond hair sitting next to him but only looking at a book she was holding with her eyes closed.
"Who are?!"
Before he could even ask the question the man answered with his head face down.
"My name is Igor and I'm here to help you on your journey just as I helped your other friend on his."
"My other friend?"
"Yes, your other friend the one that was in possession of the fool arcana."
Yosuke looked over to blond women who was giving him a small smile making him blush.
Dam this women is super cute but she said they helped the my friend who also had the Fool arcana..hmmmm if I remember right I think that Yuu was the one that had that arcana since he was also our leader.
"Wait, you guys helped my partner?! Wait I'm getting ahead of myself where am I for that matter?!"
Igor only looked at him with his usual smile.
"Ahhhh, what is up with your mouth and eyes better yet, what's up with your nose?!"
"My, my you're a rude one but, like I said my name is Igor and I welcome you to the velvet room."
"Can someone please explain what's going on and why I am here and how you know my partner or my name?"
"Very well allow me to explain from the beginning."
Yosuke just listened to Igor explain what he was there to do and what the purposes of the velvet room was. What shocked Yosuke was that he found out that they had been the reason that Yuu could use so many persona and always getting stronger and this time they were going to help him with his goal
"So let me get this straight. You say this time you're going to help me? But why me there must be others better for this then me how about Natao she's pretty good."
"Yes she is but she is not the one that will need our help.."
"So your saying I need help? Boy doesn't that make feel better..."
"My apologies if what I said has offended you."
"No worries but maybe your beautiful assistant can give me her name and I will feel better." Yosuke said with a smile.
"My name is Margret its a pleasure to meet you, should we get down to the task at hand."
Yosuke nodded and looked at Igor.
"So why am I here?"
"As I said we are here to help you on your journey."
"What exactly is my journey?"
"I believe that you ready know with what you saw and experienced this morning."
"You mean the shadows that appeared in Inaba.."
Igor nodded.
"So I have to figure out why they are coming into the world and stop them all?"
"Yes and no..." Igor said
"What do you mean yes and no?"
Igor didn't answer him he only pulled out a deck of cards and laid them on the table in front of him. They were all faced down as Yosuke saw one card glowing and saw Igor tap it. As the card flipped over he saw a card he was all too familiar with how could he not as it was his own Arcana the Magician like his Persona.
"I see that you're the keeper of the Magician arcana a very useful Arcana and you are the number 1 card as well."
"Well I am number 1 after all."
Yosuke gave a grin but his comment was ignored by everyone in the room. He just crossed him arms and looked the two expecting something to happen or for them to say something.
"Yosuke take this."
Igor only picked up the magician arcana card on the table and offered it to Yosuke.
"I already have my persona what's this for?"
"This card will help you awaken other hidden abilities of the persona you have. This card will also help you since you will also have to assemble a team on your journey to help you solve this mystery as well. Just get.."
"A team? I will just get the gang back together to help since we already solved a case and this should prove to be easy for us."
"If you can trust them then go ahead."
"What?"
As I said you will need a team just remember to put your trust in people you can rely on."
"I understand Igor."
Yosuke only reached for the card and as he took hold of it, he saw the card flash brightly and just surround his body. He felt something in him change he didn't know what it was but he felt a little stronger.
"I feel stronger for some reason? Wait does this mean I will be able to use and fuse personas like Yuu did before me?" Yosuke said with a bit of hope. But the answer he got brought his hopes down a bit.
"Yes and no." Igor said with his normal smile. "You will be able to only use other personas of the same arcana as your own and fuse very little persona in the same arcana as well and.."
"and what?"
"That's enough for today since your mind is about to awaken in the real realm. Remember you will need the help of people that you can trust chooses wisely."
"What's are you talking?! My mind wakening up in the other realm?! Yelled Yosuke.
"We will maybe meet again when the time calls for it but do not fear, the fool will return." said Igor.
"Wait, Yuu's coming back when? What time?"
"Farewell". Igor spoke as he he started to fade.
"Wait,! I still have may more questions to ask why me? Why not someone more dissevering?"
"I look forward to seeing you next time. I look forward to see what the Magician can do. Will you be able to bring me some new persona's? Will your new power grow. I will see you next time." Margret only started to fade as well.
Back in reality
"Wait!"
Yosuke woke up with his hand reaching out into the air.
"Ahhhhhhhh! Yosuke why are you yelling so early?"
Yosuke looked over to see Teddie rubbing his eyes from sleep and getting up from the chair.
"Did I wake you Ted? Sorry about that I had a very weird dream.."
"Really? What was it about?"
"Uhhhh... I don't remember too much of it? Oh well, what time is it?"
Yosuke only looked at his watch and eyes widen.
"Ahhhhh, I'm so late for school!... eh oh well I could use another day off and since Schools almost over. ted later today we are going into the T.V." he said with confidence.
"What why? Did something happen over there has someone else been kidnapped?" Teddie said with worry but just felt Yosuke put his hand on his head calming him down.
"Its nothing like that ted, its just I want to investigate since there has to be a reason why there was shadow here. We will see if anything has happen since our last visit. I was planning to go yesterday to blow off some steam but I remembered that I need you there since I won't be able to get out without your help."
Oh, does mean we are getting the team back together? Teddie said with hope.
no.. not yet at least we need to do a little recon first and see if the others really need to be called.
Ok well let's get going the sooner we get there the sooner we get started.
Teddie only nodded helped Yosuke out of the bed and he checked out of the hospital. As they made their way to Junes Yosuke was in thought.
"Hmmm, will we really find anything over there? From what I recall Igor said I need a team and that the fool would be coming back. Ahhhhhh I wished he told me when he was coming back then he could take over I'm no leader. I just got to do my best and hope I don't screw up."
As they arrived at Junes Yosuke was in trouble when he met his dad asking where he was and Yosuke panicked thinking about what to say as Teddie said they spent the night at Kanjis much to Yosuke's horror, his dad believed him and just told him to go home since he didn't look to well. They made their way to the TV and jumped right in heading for the T.V world as they set foot in the in T.V world Teddie spoke.
"Its good to be home for once. Huh what,s that smell?" asked Teddie
"You got something ted?" asked Yosuke.
"I don't know if it's something, but I smell something off in here.
"Is it shadows?"
"Yes, but they smell different than any other shadow I have smelled before."
"Well lets go check it out."
Yosuke pulled out his Kunai as he looked over to Teddie who was putting on his bear suit.
"I won't even ask what you did with the clothes since I already your know you're like a new born in there. But why the hell do you even take your clothes off to put that thing on! Do you have any idea how much they cost me and you just throw them where ever, when you come back in here! Yosuke yelled
"If I don't, I won't be able to fit in here. Beside Chie and Yukiko-chan picked them out not you. Teddie said as he got his bear claw out.
"But I paid for them since they charged it to me! Well whatever just lead the way ted and have your persona at the ready."
Yosuke only felt his chest hurt as he heard a voice.
"You really think you beat me? Your friend was the one who beat me not you. Yet you managed to get your Persona. Tsk wont be long till we meet again where it all began for you. The others will follow as well sooner or later,"
Yosuke only stiffened as he heard the voice.
Uhhhh Ted did you hear that?
"Hear what!? Teddie asked as he began to look around area."
"Its nothing, come on we have shadows to fight and a mystery to solve!"
"Roger!"
School
at the school everything was going normal for everyone that expect for Chie who was wondering where Yosuke was. She began to worry that maybe he was upset and actually waited for Yukiko when he asked her out.
"I wonder where he is it's not like him to miss school. Hmmm I wonder if he is still upset that we didn't hang out that day? Said Yukiko as she saw her friend Chie in thought.
"Are you OK Chie?"
Chie looked over to her friend who looked worried for her.
"Naww, I'm fine just wondering where Yosuke is since he isn't here."
"I hope he is OK since he did leave in a hurry on Saturday."
"Don't worry Yukiko I'm sure he is fine beside he might just be running late." She heard the door to class open.
"See there he is! huh?"
"Yo, Yosuke-senpai are you here?" Kanji walked into the class and began to look for Yosuke but had no luck finding him. He turned his gaze to his other upper clansmen friends.
"Have you guys seen Yosuke-senpai?" asked Kanji
"No why?" Asked Chie a little worried.
"Its just that he was feeling kind of down and I wanted to see how he was doing. I also need to ask him what to do with flowers he gave me."
He got two different responses.
"Yosuke is feeling down?" Asked a worried Chie
"He gave you flowers Kanji-kun? Asked a cruises Yukiko.
"Sure did they where red Roses he gave them to me on Saturday night after he got stood up by..."
Kanji didn't get to finish as he saw a sweating Chie but heard the door open again, the door to the class room opened and in walked the last two female members of the old investigation team.
"Hey guys what's going on?" Rise said with her normal smile.
"Good day to you all it's been awhile. Naoto said.
The investigation team just traded greetings as Naoto saw Chie in thought.
"Is something wrong Chie-senpai?"
"No, nothing just wondering where Yosuke is?"
"That's right where is Yosuke-Senpai anyway?" Asked Rise as she scanned the class for Yosuke.
"It appears he isn't here?" Replied Naoto as she noticed Chie was in thought again.
"Is something wrong?"
Chie looked startled by the question but regained herself.
"I'm fine just thinking to myself hahaha."
Chie let out a nervous laugh as they Shrugged but Naoto could tell there was more then she let on but let it go for now as Rise spoke.
"It's not like him to miss school, is he OK?"
"He may just be feeling down because we canceled our meeting with him that day." Replied Yukiko.
"We have been kind of busy ever since Senpai left. Yosuke-Senpai just wants to keep the team together maybe we should see him today? My day is pretty open so what do you guys say? Replied Rise as she looked at her friends for their responses.
"So is mine besides I want make sure he is OK after what happen.. Replied Kanji
Rise, Naoto and Yukiko only looked at Kanji Wondering what he meant.
"What happen to Yosuke-senpai?" Asked Rise.
"Well I don't really know it I should tell you since it kind of involves someone I know but lets just say he felt hurt for being stood up by..."
"He was stood up?!" Yelled Rise as Naoto looked a bit surprised.
"Sure was, if you want to know the whole thing ask him yourself. Besides I need to know what to do with red Roses he gave me that night."
"WHAT! Yosuke-Senpai gave you roses but why?" Yelled Rise a little shocked about why he would do that.
"Red roses..." Naoto said to herself as she was in thought after hearing what Kanji had said.
"Yeah he did what about it?"
Kanji looked at Naoto and a panicked Rise she was going to say what he didn't want to hear.
"It's not like that I tell you, he has a very good reason for giving me the flowers!"
The others just looked at him as he ranted on about not swinging that way and he had a good reason for taking the flowers.
"Anyway lets go visit him at Junes later since he will be there. He can't miss work even if he is sick, besides I know he will be happy to see me." Replied Rise with a smile. Making the other girls think she is way too over confident. They only agreed as the day was going by as normal Chie was in a panic.
"What am I going to do? If Yosuke tells everyone that he asked out Yukiko things might end up getting worst then they are. I guess I will just tell the truth or something and hope things end up well."
Chie only sighed as she looked at the clock in class and saw that school would still not be over for a while. A few hours later School had ended and they were all making their way to Junes. As they arrived they saw Yosuke's father working at the tables. When they approached him he spoke.
"How are you all doing?"
"Fine." they all said.
"Yo! old man have you seen Yosuke-senpai around?" asked Kanji as everyone saw him show no respect.
"I sent him home since he was feeling down. He was out all night and didn't come home, he only showed up a few hours ago. He should be home but I think he is out with our store mascot since some employees say they saw him heading towards the electronics section."
All of Yosuke's friends just got an idea of where he was and wondered why he would go into the TV world and why he was out all night.
"Well kids I have to get back to work."
Yosuke's dad only returned to work as they made their way to the TV area.
"Why would he go into the TV world?" Asked Rise.
"Who knows maybe he needs to blow off some steam. I know I would whenever someone pisses me off!"
"But that's just you Kanji-kun." spoke Yukiko as they arrived at the TV they made sure it was clear before jumping in and heading to the TV world. As the arrived the put on their special glasses to see through the fog.
"Its been awhile since we've been back here." Spoke Naoto.
"I'll say lets take care some of shadows since we are here I haven't had a good brawl since Senpai left. Kanji said as he was getting pumped.
"Rise can you see if you can find Yosuke-kun?" asked Yukiko
"Right Yukiko-senpai."
Rise only summed her persona and began to search for their friend but was surprised as what she sensed.
"This is odd?"
"What is it?" They all asked.
"I can't tell where he is its like this fog is getting in the way? I don't understand, this whole world feels different for some odd reason and the shadows feel a bit off as well they seem stronger and..."
As Rise was speaking they heard two familiar voices.
"Come on ted only a few more!"
"Right Yosuke this enemy is immune to all elements but weak to physical attacks."
"OK, hi yeah!"
They only heard their friend yell and a sound of metal hitting flesh.
"It's down ted lets go!"
"Right Junes Bomber!" Teddie and Yosuke yelled.
They only heard a small explosion from the distance followed by a yell of joy.
"We did it Yosuke! That makes another one down."
"Sure does ted. But these shadows where way different then before we even took down some that had powers they shouldn't have, huh? Ted what's up?"
"I smell something at the entrance."
"Is it more shadows?"
"No.. it smells like Chie-chan,Rise-chan,Naoto-chan,along with Kanji and..."
"And?"
"Yuki-chan is with them?"
"I see well we better go meet them. We're not far from the entrance are we?"
"Nope its that way." They heard Teddie say as they waited a few moments and saw Yosuke and Teddie walking out of the fog meeting all together for the first time in a while.
"Well I have to say I'm a bit surprised that all of you are here?" Asked a surprised Yosuke as he just grabbed his shoulder a bit before walking pass them with Teddie behind him with his suit a bit ripped.
"Yosuke-kun what happen? Why are in you here?" asked a worried Yukiko but Yosuke only shrugged.
"So now you listen to me?... Whatever we can talk outside beside if wait too long the shadows me and teddie escaped form will catch up to us." Yosuke said as he faced his friends but tried not to look at Yukiko.
They heard noise from behind them and saw Teddie make TVs to the real world they followed as Yosuke went through the TV. As the others were about to follow him Naoto spoke.
"Something is bothering Yosuke-senpai." Naoto said as she noticed how he spoke before leaving through the TV.
"What do you mean they all asked?"
Naoto only spoke.
"I believe something has happened to him since he wouldn't even look at Yukiko-senpai. Did something happen between the two off you?" she asked
"I don't think so?" Replied Yukiko as Naoto was studying her reaction to see if was telling the truth. As Naoto looked at Yukiko she saw three people flinch. she was about to ask but she saw Teddie jump in the TV back to the real world.
"He must know something but why did Chie-senpai and Kanji-kun react to that question? They must know why Yosuke-senpai wouldn't look at Yukiko-senpai. Naoto thought as she looked at Kanji.
"Kanji-kun..."
"YES!" Kanji only stiffened as she spoke his name and he blushed.
"Do you have any idea why Yosuke-Senpai is feeling down? Can you also tell me why he gave you red roses? Naoto replied in her normal voice as Kanji was being stared at by Yukiko, Naoto and rise but saw that Chie was looking away.
"Ummmm ask Chie-senpai!" Kanji just yelled as he ran for the TV and yelled one final thing before jumping into the TV.
"Forgive me CHIE-senpai!" Like that he was gone and the girls where all staring at Chie wondering what Kanji meant.
"Well Chie-senpai? Care to explain what kanji-kun meant?" asked Naoto as she gave her a serious look.
"Ummm it's nothing really. Trust me beside wouldn't it be better to hear it from him then me? Since he will tell you the truth."
Chie only let out a nervous smile as the girls only looked at her.
"Chie does this have to do something with what he wanted to ask me on Friday?"
"Ummm..."
"what ever this is Yoskue-senpai looked really down it must be important. I wonder what he wanted to ask you Yukiko-senpai?" Asked Rise as she was taking an interest in what was going on.
"I don't know but when he wanted talk, he was all red faced I thought he was sick. I started to talk to Chie and he just left the room in a hurry with a smile." Replied Yukiko as Naoto just took in all that was being said and only nodded.
"I may know what's bothering Yosuke-senpai but I need to talk to him or Teddie and Kanji-kun if I need to."
Naoto only walked towards the exit and went through the TV followed by Rise and Yukiko leaving chie behind.
"What am I going to do? if Naoto really did figure everything out just from asking a few questions and just listening. she might know the truth. What am I thinking no way she is that good of detective right?" She asked herself before just exiting the TV and going back to Junes. She made her way to the table where they would meet whenever they needed to talk about the old case. As she arrived she everyone sitting there but saw that Yosuke was sitting with Kanji and Teddie who was in his Junes clothes. She only took a sit next to Yukiko and who was with Naoto and rise.
"So, why are you guys here anyway? I thought you were all busy with work and other things?" Said Yosuke as talked to his friends.
"We decided to take today off to see how you were doing since we did cancel on you on Friday Yosuke-senpai. Beside you look kind of down so we came to cheer you up." Rise replied with a smile.
"Your too kind to me Rise-chan. Don't worry about canceling since you are going to restart your career again and I know you wont have much time for us. Besides it wasn't that bad Kanji and ted kept me company."
Yosuke said with a small smile as he crossed his arms flinching a bit from pain from his hidden wound but Naoto saw him flinch and only decided to ask what was wrong when she could.
They stayed silent for a bit as Yosuke and Teddie where being stared at by the girls.
"What?" They both asked.
"Are you going to tell us why you missed school?"
"I don't go to school?"
"Not you ted." replied Yosuke.
"To answer I wasn't feeling well all weekend and I decided to skip school today my mom and dad know why?
"Forgive me for saying this Yosuke-senpai but your father said you showed up at Junes and didn't spend the night at your home. If I may ask why are you trying to lie?" Asked Naoto as Yosuke only bit his lip.
"Got to hand it to the young princess always knowing what's up when she needs to." Yosuke thought
"You caught me I didn't spend the night at home I was busy doing something. I won't tell you since it's a secret."
"You're no fun Yosuke-senpai what about telling me." Replied Rise as she smiled at Yosuke who avoided her eye just encase he did fall her trick.
"Sorry, but I doubt your here for that. What else is bugging all of you?"
Every one stayed silent as Naoto sighed and spoke.
"Very well since no one wants to speak I will. First why where you in the TV world without calling us?"
"I just needed it to get it some training I can't get rusty."
"I believe there is more to it, but answer me this why won't you look Yukiko-senpai did something happen, what's wrong with your shoulder and more importantly why did you give red roses to Kanji-kun? Naoto asked as everyone looked at Yosuke who just glared at Kanji.
"I what?! What the hell did you tell them Kanji?!" Yosuke yelled.
"What?!"
"Never mind. But I don't know what you're talking about."
"Very well Kanji-kun, Teddie?"
They only started to sweat as they looked at the table avoiding her eyes.
"You don't give up do you? Fine if you have to find out you better here from me then them."
Yosuke only sighed as he looked at the girls before meeting Yukiko's gaze he only looked away feeling a bit hurt but ignored it.
"Well if you must know if happened after Yukiko-san stood me up on our date on Saturday." Yosuke said in a normal voice as all the girls looked him and Yukiko who just had a confused look on her face.
"WHAT! Yukiko-Senpai stood you up?! Is that true?" Asked a surprised Rise as she looked back and forth between the two.
"Of course not!" Said Chie as she was speaking for her friend as Naoto just looked at Yosuke.
"I wouldn't lie about this. Then again she probably ignored my question when I asked her since she was talking to Chie remember? It was after school you were with her when I asked her."
"Wait is this that what you wanted to ask me?!"
"Yes, I walked up to you and even asked you when you were looking at Chie. I thought about how to ask you and I came out and said it and saw you nodding I even I asked you if you really meant it. You then smiled and said "yup I do."
"But I was talking to Chie about how working at the inn is getting hard for me Yosuke-kun."
Yukiko only saw Yosuke look down.
"Of course, just like always..."
"What do mean Yosuke-senpai?" Asked Rise.
"Its like I told Kanji and ted when I waited for Yukiko-san. Whenever I would ask Yukiko-san for her number or something like going out last year she would block it out or ask if I said something, or bring up her inn sigh. As for the red roses they were for Yukiko-san for our date but when she didn't show up I just gave them to kanji who was trying to spy on me along with ted, but I told him to get rid of them."
"I just couldn't just get rid of them." said Kanji.
"Wait red?" asked Yukiko as she looked at Yosuke
"Yes, since red is your favorite color, I got them for you but well you know..."
Yukiko only started to feel a little bad as she took in his words and remembered the times she forgot things and only remembered when she was told by Chie.
"Yosuke-kun..."
"So you got jealous Naoto, no need to get jealous and think I will try to steal Kanji from you." Yosuke said with a grin as he winked at her as she and Kanji Blushed.
"I never thought that!" She said losing her cool a bit.
"You sure? Since you're a good detective you must have thought of that possibility that I might be going for Kanji when he told you all that he got red roses from me.""
Naoto only stayed silent as Yosuke just smiled.
"Whatever the case do you mind telling about your shoulder?"
"Oh well even if I tell you, you won't believe me. Then again with all the crazy stuff that happen before yuu left you might. It happen yesterday when the fog set in... I was feeling a little down about being set up by Yukiko-san then again I kind of knew she would just ignore my questions like always. I told ted to leave me alone and go out and enjoy himself."
The others only looked at Teddie who nodded to what Yosuke was saying.
"I left my house about midday after a shower, I decided to get rid of some steam by going into the TV I was on my way to Junes but remembered I needed ted's help to get out. That was when I heard a scream..."
"a scream?" Asked Naoto as everyone paid close attention.
"Yes... I ran towards it thinking I could do something to help but when I got to the alleyway I saw a man ran past me and I saw it... a shadow."
"What!"
Yosuke looked at his friends.
"What you saw a shadow? Here, how?" Asked Rise
"Are sure?" Asked Yukiko
"Come on Yosuke you must have been seeing things. Beside Shadows can't enter the real world."
Kanji and Naoto only stayed silent as he spoke.
"Look I know it might hard to believe but I'm not lying and why be so quick to doubt me. Just try and believe me."
"Yosuke is telling the truth I saw them with my own eyes. I wouldn't lie about something like this!
"Ted calm down man." Kanji said as he saw Teddie just stay silent as Yosuke spoke again.
"Look believe me or not, I don't care but I have a few things to say about all this. We just cant just deny that they cant come over to our world. Look at ted even though he is a shadow he could still come to our world. Beside remember the fog that came over when we thought the case was over. Teddie even said it was the fog from his world. Beside if ted could come over then maybe other shadows could come over as well?" Yosuke said as he waited for the others to speak.
The others stayed silent. Until one of them spoke.
"I believe Yosuke-senpai beside why would he make up such thing? He has always been a good Senpai." Spoke Kanji as he looked at Yosuke who smiled.
"What about the rest of you do you believe me?"
They all looked to be in thought.
"You still haven't explained how this ties into how your shoulder looks like it's in pain?" Asked Naoto.
Yosuke only began to unbutton his shirt as everyone looked at him.
"What are you doing!?" Yelled Chie as the others just watched as Kanji just moved his hand to his nose as no one noticed.
Yosuke ignored them as he continued. as he made it to the last button and opened his shirt to show his shoulder wrapped in bandages with a blood stain on them.
"After I started to fight the shadows here I got hurt and after the battle I had to go to the hospital to get checked out."
Yosuke put his shirt back on and started to button it.
"The shadows are a lot tougher to fight without the power of a persona trust me on this. That's one of the reason I didn't show up at school. So you got your answers but do you believe me. I know kanji does and so does ted.
"Your Lying Yosuke beside Teds a special case the other shadows wont come here. You probably just hurt yourself to try and get our attention. You have always been someone looking for excitement."
"Chie-Senpai, yosuke-senpai isn't like that and you know it. Why say something that mean?"
Yosuke only sighed and spoke with a little hurt in his voice.
"What have you got against me Chie? We're friends why would I make all this up? Even if I was at least I tell the truth when needed."
Chie only stiffened at what Yosuke said.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
Yosuke finished buttoning his shirt before looking at his friend.
"You know what I mean when I asked out Yukiko-san in front of you, you could have told her after I left the classroom knowing she would probably forget what I asked her. Hell all the times I asked her when Yuu was here and blew me off you were there. You even know she has trouble remembering stuff she sees as unimportant. Like when she couldn't even remember the kid we went after who we thought threw her into the TV."
she looked taken back at what he said and was being looked at by the others and by Yukiko who only said.
"Chie?"
Yukiko only began to think as she remembered how when Yosuke had left she had asked Chie what he had wanted. Chie told her that it wasn't anything important and she should go to the inn.
"You got some nerve saying that. I'm not that one that only wanted to ask out Yukiko for the dumb Amagi challenge!"
All the girls looked at Yosuke wondering if what Chie said was true but only saw him smile.
"Chie-senpai!"
They turned to look at Kanji who looked at her.
"Stop lying. I told you already that when Yosuke-senpai asked out Yukiko-senpai it wasn't because of that dumb challenge."
"Kanji-kun, I dont think Chie would lie to me." replied Yukiko as she spoke to Kanji.
"Look, Yukiko-senapi I know you two have been friends since you where kids. But so were we, even if it was just for bit. the reason he asked you out was because he liked you, not because of the challenge thing trust me on this. I even asked him if it was, if he had answered yes I would have kicked his ass right there and then!"
"What!" Yosuke yelled as he found out what kanji would have done to him that day.
"Ted was there too since none of you bothered to show up."
"That's right I was there too and he is telling the truth!"
"Chie-senpai you even asked me that day remember? When Yosuke left the school that day you said he was asking out Yukiko-senpai for that challenge. I even told you that day that is wasn't!"
Chie only got up from her chair in a bit rage.
"I don't have sit here and take this from you or Yosuke. Lets go Yukiko."
Everyone only looked at Yukiko who looked at the group and at chie walking away from them. She only stood up and followed her in a bit of hurry.
"Guess she believes her more than witnesses and when the truth is in front of her..." spoke Naoto as she could tell there was a dark aura around the group.
"Listen guys I follow them to make sure they are ok so see you later."
Rise got up from the table but stopped when she was called.
"Rise-chan, thanks."
"For what?"
"Just seeing you made me feel a little better. Since I'm friends with an idol after all. Maybe next time I can treat you to some steak or something else." Yosuke said with a smile as he winked at Rise.
"Yosuke-senpai."
"Count us in as well." Shouted Kanji and teddie as Yosuke looked down a little annoyed they ruined his moment.
"If you don't mind I would like to tag along as Well Yosuke-senpai." Replied Naoto.
"Great, sure whatever its not like I wanted to be alone with rise or anything,"
"No problem then," said teddie.
Rise only laughed at what she saw.
"Well I have to go but maybe next time we can try to hang out sooner OK bye..."
Rise left in a hurry as Naoto only looked at the men and Teddie.
"Something up Naoto?" Asked Yosuke.
"Yes I just want to let you know that I believe you..."
"Really? But why?"
"Well the day before a man reported being attacked by a strange monster. He said he ran out of an alleyway but saw a high school student run into it. I would guess that would be you, he made his report as he ran to the station but no one believed him they thought he was crazy so I took his report and had him describe the monster he saw. I figured it was a shadow from the way he explained it, but I had no idea that you had been hurt or the one that took care of the shadows?"
"Wait if you knew all this why not say something to convince Chie and Yukiko-senpai." Spoke Kanji as he looked at Naoto.
Naoto only shifted her hat and spoke.
"It wasn't very important since Yosuke-senpai had other things to discuses with us."
"I'm just glad you all believed me." Spoke Yosuke
"but the question remains, why and how are they appearing in the real world?" Asked Naoto as she rubbed her temples.
"We don't even have anything to go on but cheer up Naoto. I'm sure we will find out the reason. Said Kanji trying to cheer up Naoto.
"Kanjis right." spoke Teddie.
They all began to talk as Yosuke went to get them a few drinks and as he was making his way back to the table with the drinks he had a certain thought.
"You will need to make a team of people you can trust."
"People I can trust?" As he made it to the table he only took his seat and looked at his friends who were talking about things had been for them since they haven't seen each other in a bit.
"Guys."
They looked at Yosuke who only raised his drink.
"Guys who knows why the shadows are coming to our world. But looks like we have to investigate this as well like the last crime. But this time we wont let anyone die as we try to find out the truth. Will you guys help since I can't do this alone?"
"What about the others?" Asked Naoto
"we will tell them when need to, but for right now I dont think Chie or Yukiko-san will be want to see me much. As for Rise I dont know if she will want to help because of her idol carrier. But for now it will just be me and ted I think."
"Count me in Yosuke-senpai!" Yelled Kanji as he just raised his drink with him.
"Me too!" Teddie just followed their lead as he raised his glass.
They only looked at Naoto as she only sighed and raised her drink as well.
"I suppose if I must, I will help as well any way I can since you will need my skills in investigation for this mystery."
They all just tapped drinks as they looked at Yosuke.
"Guys we need to go back to the TV world when we can to try figure all this out since we have no idea where to start."
Yosuke said with small laugh.
They only nodded as kanji brought up something on his mind.
"Uhhh so does mean we will have to get a new place to hang out since where a new team?"
"Where not really a new team? Were still the same team but with lees team mates since Yuu isn't here. But for now we will keep using junes."
They only nodded.
"Naoto, kanji just to let you know the shadows are different then before some have gain new shapes and powers."
"Can you please explain what you mean Yosuke-senpai?" Asked Naoto.
"I wish I could but it would be better if you guys saw for yourself when we get a chance to go."
The rest of day was spent talking about plans and what they would need to look for when they return to the TV world. They deiced they would meet when they had time to meet and see if they could the others on board. As Yosuke and Teddie made there way home Yosuke was in thought.
"Hmmmm I know I felt that presence again but why? Its just like last time when I faced my shadow before. But what did me and Teddie see when we couldn't enter that part of the TV world hmmmmm."
"Something up Yosuke?" Asked Teddie.
"Just thinking about that weird place we saw in the TV world." Yosuke Replied in a lazy tone as he put his hands behind his head.
"you mean that area we couldn't get near?"
"Yes, it feels odd for some odd reason. I mean when we went back to check it out it was gone and then we were chased by shadows."
"Maybe we need more information on that place before we can find it again? It kind of looked like a school or something?" Replied Teddie
"I wonder if that means someone from our school has been taken. No I doubt that it would have been on the news..."
"Then what does it mean?" asked teddie
"Who knows ted but for now we have our team and we got to do our best to figure everything out."
Yosuke only smiled as he felt he can trust the people that formed the new team for the mystery. But maybe Chie was right maybe he did want some excitement since this town had nothing going for it.
"no... I'm not like that anymore... I need to get myself together I cant let what people say get to me. Or I might lose my self like when I wanted to push him into the TV.."
Yosuke only recalled the time when Nanako had died he was filled with hate for the killer he just wanted to end his life and push him into the TV, to suffer for what he had done. But if he had gone through the plan an innocent man would have been killed because of his want for revenge for her and Saki-senpai.
Yosuke only shed a small tear for his old love for his Senpai. She may have hated him but he loved her but he was ready to try and move on with Yukiko. But it just brought him more pain.
"Maybe I'm meant to be alone since the women I loved hated me even in the end. If only we knew about the TV world sooner maybe yuu and I could have saved her and she could have gotten her own persona to help us. Then she would have gotten to know the true me, and maybe... what I'm doing I cant think of the past right now... I wonder what arcana she would have been?"
Yosuke only stopped as he looked at the sky.
"Maybe I should go see her brother?"
"Yosuke lets hurry home you need to get home before your dad does."
"Crap! Your right not to mention my mom will probably kill me for making her worry!"
Yosuke and teddie ran home hoping to beat Yosuke's dad home Yosuke had one final thought.
"Igor I dont know if my friends will be enough but I trust them. I will do my best, no! we will do our best to find the truth if there is one. But for now I hope no deaths will happen..
I hope you all liked the chapter. I would like to ask if Saki was alive what arcana do you think she would be the same as her brother or different? As I said in the beginning people from persona 4 arena will be in this story wont say who but you guys can already guess who wil be one of them. As the paring I will either go with harem or love triangle for Yosuke.. anyway Youske team will be Kanji the emperor, Naoto of the fortune, teddie the star, and of course Yosuke the magician. Chie and Yukiko are touch and go I dont hate them since the chariot is a good card. As for Rise I will let you decided join sooner or later on. Anyway later and ideas are welcome and please vote on my poll.
