DISCLAIMER

I do not own Persona 3, I'm just a fan-girl writing her fan-girl dreams out

If I did, I would have gone inside the Ramen shop while Akihiko and Shinjiro were going back and forth at each other! xD

I sat on my bed facing the calender that was on the wall, the date today is the 2nd of September . . .

" Just 3 more days until the full moon . . . "

I don't know why, but the week before a full moon, I just stare at the calender throughout the whole night. At least now since I've joined S.E.E.S.

" Hey Minako, let's go we're going to be late! "

I snapped out of the trance and looked at the door, " I-I'm coming! " I rushed out of bed and put my shoes on and raced to the door, standing outside my door was Yukari Takeba and Aigis.

" Was everything alright in there? " asked Aigis in her monotone voice, can't blame her since she is a robot.

" Everything's alright, I just lost track of time. Thanks for coming to get me! " I snapped my fingers, " My bag! " I ran back inside and grabbed my backpack.

Yukari looked at Aigis, " Don't worry this is normal from her. "

Aigis tilted her head, " Is that so? "

I ran back out and closed my door, " Okay, now I'm ready! "

When we made our way downstairs I bumped into Akihiko at the dorm entrance, " H-Hi Akihiko-senpai . . .! "

Akihiko turned and faced me with a smile on his face, " Hey Minako. "

For some time now me and Akihiko have been hanging out with each other whenever we have time, and quite frankly I think I have a crush on him . . .

" Are you heading to school now? " I asked.

Akihiko shook his head, " I still have something to do before I head out. You keep going ahead, 'kay? "

I smiled and nodded in response, " I'll see you later senpai! "

Along the way to school me and Yukari kept telling Aigis the do's and don'ts' at school, she brought the topic up yesterday saying that she wanted to attend Gekkoukan High as well, apparently it was to keep a closer eye on me.

I gently nudged Yukari who was still instructing Aigis, " Yukari, we're here now. "

Yukari quickly wrapped up the lecture, " Okay, so just keep everything we told you in mind and you should be okay. "

Aigis nodded, " Everything is stored in my memory bank. "

We both slapped our heads, " Aigis, normal people don't say that . . .! " I sighed out.

Yukari whispered to me, " Are you sure it's a good idea to let her do this? "

Whispering back I said, " We have to at least let her try, if anything happens we can say it was just a prank. "

With that we proceeded off the train and hoped for the best today . . .

(- -)-(^^)-(~ ~)

Just as usual, nothing to do today . . .

I was walking around the Iwatodai strip mall, when my stomach growled. " * sigh * Is that all there is to do? " I headed over to the Hagakure Ramen restaurant when I saw two familiar figures heading my way.

Upon closer inspection I saw it was Akihiko and-

Her . . . Minako.

" You're getting on my nerves! " I yelled as the two got closer.

Still walking Akihiko spoke, " The situation has changed. Sorry, but this time, I'm not asking. "

" What? "

" This belongs to you. " Akihiko pulled out a suitcase and thrusted it towards me. Does he really expect me to take this?

I simply stared at the suitcase showing no signs of taking it anytime soon.

Akihiko narrowed his eyes at me, " We have a new enemy. They're Persona-users, like us. "

Though I showed no signs of being surprised or making a reaction of any kind, in my head I already knew who they were. They call themselves Strega, Aki. They're like me, well, you wouldn't know about that . . .

" Yeah, so what? " I said nonchalantly.

I saw that Minako looked at me, she must have realized I'm a Persona-user as well.

" There's more. " Akihiko started, " Ken Amada has joined our team. "

That was the last straw there, my face turned to show shock.

" What the hell are you talking about! " Ken Amada . . . He's just a little boy!

Akihiko stood his ground and explained, " He has the potential, and Ikutsuki-san has okayed it. He's now a Persona-user. "

I looked away, " You've gotta be kidding me. " There's no way he could do this, unless-

" Let me ask you one thing . . . " I looked Akihiko straight in the eye, " Was it his decision to join S.E.E.S? "

Akihiko still kept his cool and answered back, " Yeah. He volunteered. "

I took a step back and collected my thoughts together.

" . . . I see. "

I know Akihiko, he would never lie. So if he said that Ken willingly joined, then it must be true.

I sighed and gave an answer, " Then, count me in. "

" So, you're the one leading the operations now, huh? "

I turned towards Minako and looked her in the eyes . . .

Still, she looked at me unfazed. Was there nothing that could scare this girl?

" If you don't mind me asking, what exactly are you fighting for? " I asked.

She closed her eyes and put her hand over her chest, " I'm fighting to protect someone . . . "

Someone . . . Whoever this ' someone ' is, they must me close to her to have her have much resolve in her voice.

" Is that so? " I commented.

I put my hand behind my head and adjusted my beanie, " Well, you do your thing; I'll do mine. "

I turned my attention back to Akihiko, " Is my room still vacant? "

Akihiko grinned glad that things were going his way at last, " Yeah. "

" Sheesh . . . " I breathed out quickly glancing at Minako, " Another girl? First Mitsuru and now her . . . "

Akihiko shrugged his shoulders, " So what? She might be a girl, but she's one hell of a- "

I interrupted the dumbass in front of me, " That ain't my point numbskull. " I got close to Akihiko so he would be the only one to hear what I said, " I'm saying you gotta keep an eye out for her. "

" Honestly . . . " I said as I backed away from him.

Akihiko looked at Minako realizing what I had meant by that statement. He never caught on to something like that so quickly, maybe . . .

There's something between them . . .

" I'm fighting to protect someone . . . "

I closed my eyes trying to relax. That ' someone ' she told me about, I'm guessing it's Akihiko.

Just then that smile from the day I first saw her, popped into my mind . . .

The thought of her giving Akihiko that smile everyday, made something inside me clench . . .

" Senpai . . .? "

I opened my eyes and looked at the origin of the voice. She was standing in front of me leaning forward towards me with a worried look on her face.

" Are you alright? "

Akihiko came to her side, " This is Shinjiro Aragaki, he's the same grade as me and Mitsuru. He's a Persona-user too . . . "

As I calmed down and straightened myself up Minako gave me a big smile and said, " It's nice to meet you Shinjiro-senpai, I'm Minako Arisato. "

" Welcome back to S.E.E.S. "

She'll do her thing, and I'll do mine . . .

What was my thing?

Ken . . . His past and mine are entwined together, but Minako's and mine . . . Why can't I get you out of my head?

Why did I really come back to S.E.E.S?
