-P3-
-Full Moon I-
It was early morning in the room of Minato Arisato, a young sixteen year old member of S.E.E.S. - Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad -
"So the redhead got us into her crazy little dorm club and now..." Gig awaited the bluenette's response.
"We find out about what the kid was talking about last night." Minato said firmly.
"Yeah, things are starting to get pretty interesting around here." Gig added.
"I agree, and what was up with this Velvet Key thing the old geezer was talking about?" the bluenette shuffled his desk to grab a hold of the item given to him by Igor.
"Why do these people expect that we understand what they're talking about?" Gig complained.
"I know, but usually, we're involved so we really do have an idea. Generally anyway." Minato pointed out.
"Well, I don't appreciate that these people are basically stereotyping us." The Master of Death sighed.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
"Someone's at the door kid." Gig stated the obvious.
"Who could it be at this time of the morning?" Minato rubbed his eyes to wake up.
"It's Mitsuru," a feminine voice spoke, seemingly in reply to the bluenette's question.
"Well she has some explaining to do! I hope this SEES thing isn't some kind of cult like 'that' time in Jersey." Gig shuddered at the repressed memory.
"I don't think people who watch Jersey Shore are cultists." the bluenette
"Yeah right, no one in their right mind could possibly ENJOY that crazy show!" the Master of Death pointed out.
"*sigh* I'm coming senpai." Minato said as he twisted the doorknob.
"Sorry for barging in but..." Mitsuru hesitated.
"Senpai what exactly does SEES do?" Minato asked bluntly.
"Oh, we do some stuff here and there." Mitsuru was shaking, obviously lying through her teeth.
"That explains a lot..." Minato said sarcastically.
"Sorry I can't give you much yet, but you should get acquainted with the other members first before I can say more." the redhead apologized.
"Besides Takeba?" the bluenette said with curiosity in his voice.
"Well, one other member that you still haven't met, he'll be arriving tonight." she replied.
"This isn't going anywhere." Gig groaned.
"Senpai, we should really get going to school now." Minato pointed at the wall clock in his room.
"Sacre bleu! We're wasting time Arisato, get dressed and meet me downstairs, you won't make it to your classes if you take the trains now!" Mitsuru commanded.
"Yes ma'am!" the bluenette answered instinctively.
"She's really bossy huh?" Gig thought aloud.
"Oh yeah. Reminds me of Military School." Minato added.
"At least you scored with your bossy platoon leader." Gig smirked.
"Hey, she knew what she was doing." the bluenette retorted.
Five Minutes Later...
"Arisato-kun? Are you alright?" the redhead asked in concern.
"I'm here senpai, sorry I took so long." Minato rushed with an apologetic look.
"No time to argue, grab on." Mitsuru motioned the youth to her bike.
Minato grabbed onto the bike as the redhead zipped thru the streets of Iwatodai as the duo head for Gekkoukan High. Minato was about to puke thru his helmet, but mental "persuasion" from Gig stopped him from doing so. Mitsuru herself was panicking as her sense of urgency was overriding her own reasoning as her bike jumped over a fruit cart. After a few minutes, the pair were nearing their planned destination.
"Senpai, the gate!" Minato peered thru his visor, pointing at the school gate about to close.
"Arisato, hang on to me as hard as you can!" Mitsuru yelled through her helmet.
Minato held onto the redhead for his dear life.
Empress Social Link Rank Up!
Empress S. Link Lvl. 2 Achieved!
"Holy Fucking Donkey Shit on a stick kid! We're going to get killed by this crazy batshit jump!" Gig cursed profusely.
"Oh dear God!" the bluenette winced in anticipation for impact.
"Wake up kid, we're not dead...yet." the Master of Death mentally nudged Minato back to consciousness.
Minato was greeted by the gaze of a familiar redhead staring at him in concern. Upon closer inspection of the scene, the bluenette saw the Student Council President's bike lodged into a tree and a paramedic team heading towards him.
"What happened?" Minato asked weakly.
"The bike skid when we landed and we crashed into that tree." Mitsuru pointed at the wrecked bike and ruined tree.
"Ow." the bluenette winced as he looked at his left arm.
"You pushed me out of the way and took the impact of the tree with your arm." the redhead gazed away in shame.
"Excuse me," a paramedic approached the pair, "we're going to take you to the hospital now sir."
"Okay." Minato nodded sluggishly.
From the second floor of the school campus...
Miss Toriumi had yet to arrive while an unlikely pair were staring out intently at the events unfolding at the school courtyard...
"Woah, what's he doing riding with Mitsuru-senpai?" Asshat/Junpei Iori said, leaving his mouth agape.
"Who's riding Mitsuru-senpai?" Kenji Tomochika's voice echoed in another misunderstanding.
"You idiot, senpai's bike crashed and the new guy pushed her out of the way." the class jock facepalmed Kenji.
"But her bike doesn't have a sidecar right?" Yuko, the resident ganguro wondered aloud.
"Then that means..." Kenji's eyes widened.
"Minato was riding behind senpai." a familiar brunette finished the youth's sentence.
"He's gone farther with her in two days than any of us have gone ever!" Asshat's voice was filled with disdain.
Kaz, the jock and Kenji, the idiot both faced the window and saluted the figure of a bluenette being taken to an Ambulance.
"He's an inspiration to us all!" they both defended themselves from the stares of their classmates.
Later that evening...
"It's a good thing they let me go early.*chuckle*" Minato chuckled.
"Well, I had the process expedited, I wouldn't want you missing school on my account." Mitsuru gave her junior a smirk.
"How did you get them to do that anyway?" Minato asked.
"My family owns the hospital." the redhead said bluntly.
"What the hell doesn't her family own?" Gig said sarcastically.
"Wow..." Minato said in awe.
"It's not something to gawk about, unlike putting yourself in harms way for me." Mitsuru's face started to blush.
"It was just an accident senpai, you don't have to beat yourself up on my account." the bluenette said encouragingly.
"Thank you Arisato-kun." the redhead said as she left the bluenette in his room.
"Let's do a recap here: you broke your arm saving a hot chick and you don't get so much as a kiss...What the Hell?" Gig spoke in confusion.
"Don't stress yourself, we should sleep now." Minato replied as he killed the lights and went to sleep.
The Dark Hour...
"Get up." Yukari's voice projected through the door.
"What?" Minato yawned in reply.
"There's no time, get up and follow me." the brunette demanded.
"Okay, okay." the bluenette rushed to the door.
"Let's go!" Yukari dragged the youth by his good arm towards the staircase.
A room with a bunch of monitors and high-tech equipment revealed the cause of the disturbance, a strange masked creature heading towards the dorm.
"Takeba, get Arisato out thru the rear entrance, Akihiko is bringing it in thru our front door." Mitsuru said over the radios.
"What about you senpai?" Yukari asked in concern.
"I'll be alright, you two should get moving." the redhead reassured.
"Let's go!" the bluenette said fully awake.
The two steadily made their way thru the staircase as the structure of the dorm was shaking violently, as they neared the entrance, acoive unfamiliar to Minato spoke.
"It's coming thru the front, get to the roof." the voice spoke.
Minato took the lead once more as he grabbed a hold of Yukari's hand and made his way back up the staircase until they reached a single door.
"It's locked." the bluenette stared at the girl for an answer.
"Oh, I have the key," the pink-clad girl said as she unlocked the door shakily.
As they proceeded a large shadow suddenly flew above them and landed to the edge of the rooftop.
"Stand back." the brunette spoke with hesitation as she drew what appeared to be a gun from a holster Minato hadn't noticed before.
"They let us have guns in this dorm? Sweet..." the bluenette whispered to himself.
Yukari slowly raised the gun to her forehead as she faced the shadow on her own.
"What do you think your doing?" Minato said in confusion.
"I don't think shooting yourself in the head would scare that crazy thing." Gig retorted.
As the brunette contemplated pulling the trigger, the large shadow lunged and knocked the gun from her hand and the firearm flew to the direction of Minato.
"It's not a gun." Yukari said in desperation.
Upon setting his eyes on the firearm, both Minato and Gig sensed the true purpose of the gun-shaped object. The pair thought in unison as Minato picked up the gun and both simultaneously yelled...
"Persona!"
End Chapter
