"Hah?" Jirayia said confuse
"Uh… s-school? Of course I'm going to school" Kanji said nervously
"Then I'll meet you at the gates after school tomorrow" the young man said as he turned around and left
"D-Did he say, he was interested in me? He's a guy and I'm a guy, but… he interested in me?" Kanji said to himself
"I think… I hear about this so much…" Tomoe said uneasy
"Did that boy come to him, just asking him for "Dating stuff"?" Alastor asked confuse
"W-What!? A-A-Alastor! Don't said something like that!" Tomoe said muttered and yell to him
"I just thought" Alastor told her "O-Oh right" Tomoe said shame
"W-Wait a second, Tomoe don't tell me you-" "Huh?" before Jirayia said to Tomoe suddenly Kanji said and saw Souji's team hidden at behind red mailed box
"HEY WHAT THE HELL YOU PRICKS LOOKING AT!?" Kanji yelled to them
"AH! *Fwooosh" Konohana set her fire in fear

(Minutes later)
"gasp gasp That scared the hell out of me! He's even worse in person than on TV" Chie said tired after running away from Kanji
"The one on TV last night was definitely Kanji-kun…" Yukiko said
"Yeah… I just realized something" Yosuke suddenly said remember
"Remember about the point we were talking about? His mom fits the pattern. She's a woman, and she knew "
"In the end, the one appear on Midnight Channel was her son, right?" Tsubaki asked
"Yeah, and what does mean by that?" Yosuke said confuse
"That's mean Kanji's a target" Souji said
"Yeah, that's what it seemed like based on the TV image, but his mother fits the pattern more than he does" Yosuke said
"Maybe this case similar like, Yukiko's case" Souji said
"You right… If you think about it, my mother fit the victim profile, more than I did" Yukiko said figure
"She was the one who dealt directly with Ms. Yamano…but I was the one who was targeted" Yukiko said
"Does that mean it'll be the kid again, instead of mother?" Chie asked
"That's making no sense at all" Tsubaki said annoyed
"Yeah, it'd have nothing to do with silencing witnesses or revenge or anything" Chie said confuse
"Y'think we're on the wrong track?" Yosuke asked and everyone already confuse about it
"Argh… I totally lose" Yosuke said annoyed "But we cannot ignore this" Yukiko said
"Hm…Why don't we just go ahead and ask Kanji himself?" Chie asked suggestion
"If we are asked him, he would be yell on us and making us running again" Tsubaki told her
"I know that but, at least see if anything odd's happened lately" Chie said
"Yo, we are back" Jirayia said hi to them with the Personas

"We are hear about, Kanji making plans with the young boy earlier, tomorrow after school at school gates" Izanagi told them
"And they are said something about "Meeting"stuff" Jirayia said
"Hah? Seriously? I hear he's been skipping school ever since the New Year started… doesn't that seems little suspicion?" Yosuke asked
"Yeah, something did seem weird" Chie said suspicion "Yeah… really weird…" Tomoe said uneasy
"Allright. There's something funny going on here… I can sense it" Chie said
"Sense?" Tsubaki asked curios "You sound like Teddie…" Yosuke said annoyed
"Teddie?" Tsubaki said curios and confuse
"I think we can found something, about their conversation for tomorrow" Souji said
"Ok, then let's try staking our both, Kanji and his family's store" Yosuke said suggestion
"Wow, that's mean we are play an agent to tomorrow" Jirayia said excite
"Yeah, and we don't let the killer getting head first" Yosuke said
"That being said… Yukiko can I have you cell numbers?" Yosuke asked Yukiko for her number
"Oh God" Tomoe said "sigh…" Alastor sighing
"Hey… Was this your plan all along?" Chie asked worried
"Uh, no? I got everybody's phone number expert for hers" Yosuke said try defense himself
"And the Y section of my address book needs some filling out"
"sigh… While we're on the subject, could you stop calling me at night just to tell dirty jokes?" Chie said annoyed
"You sound really like Jirayia, you know that" Tomoe said annoyed
"H-Hey! I'm trying to have conversation with Yukiko here!" Yosuke said
"Nee-san, did mother request you something before we leave?" Konohana said to Yukiko for remember
"Oh yeah, I need buy tofu on my way home" Yukiko said reminder
"Whoa… She didn't hear a word I said…" Yosuke said depression "Same as always" Jirayia said
"Okay then, the stakeout is set for tomorrow" Chie said
