I always wanted to make a fanfic of persona, since i play it for the first time. Later i play the others, i like persona 3 the most, second is persona 2, then persona 4 and last persona revelations. I also like Devil survivor, the first one, i hate the second (it was a waste).
Anyway, please enjoy and thanks for the ones that are following the story XD
Chapter 1: 19 years later
It was April and school has begun, everyone was excited to assist one more year to Gekkoukan High School. Even Akane Arisato, although she's not excited to participate in class. All that she cares about was the Music Club, she is the president of the club and the best guitar player in school, she also sings pretty well. That's why she's one of the more popular girls in school, that and her appearance. She has long black hair that reaches her lower back, her eyes were bright red and her face is "like an Angel" like all the boys describe it. They also talk about her body behind her back, she hears them though but ignore it.
She doesn't care about her looks, she doesn´t even try to put some makeup. Everyone enters the Auditorium to hear the Director´s speech, Akane didn´t care about that so she takes her headphones and listen to her MP3 player. Slowly she begins to close her eyes to take a little nap, until someone touches her shoulder from behind. She turns around, it was Misaki Takeba. She was almost exactly like her mother, but she had a long hair instead of short and her eyes were dark blue.
"Don´t sleep, Arisato" She said with a serious tone. Akane just shrugs
"... Sorry, but this is boring. I´ll take a nap, wake me up when it finishes"
"No!" Misaki almost yells, it was enough for the teachers to hear it. A teacher approach them and to their bad luck, it was Ekoda.
"Look who do we have here... Arisato, give me those headphones" He demand
"Do you realize that when you take them away from me, I will sleep anyway?" She asks with a poker face
"Yes, that´s why you´re coming with me"
"Are you sure? After this I have to go to your class so there's no time for you to give me a talk about how disrespectful I'm being"
"... If you weren't that intelligent, brat"
"Brat? I´m turning 18 this year"
"You're still a kid who does whatever you want"
"(Sigh) Okay. I´ll accept the responsibilities of my actions, give me whatever punishment you have prepared. I don´t really care"
"I see, then stay after school. Kirijo will decide for me" Ekoda turn around and exit the Auditorium
"Are you happy, Akane?" Misaki asks
"Yeah, I can sleep now. Goodnight Takeba" She close her eyes and pass out
"And she's supposed to be my senpai" Misaki was now in the first year, while Akane was in third year she was two years older than Misaki
"Take it easy, Misaki" Haruka Yamagishi was sitting next to her, Haruka was in first year like Misaki. Although he was a year younger. He has a messy brown short hair and black eyes, people often say that he's "too normal" but when they get to know him, they say he's a little weird. He's a more skinny than the other boys, that´s why he was bullied in elementary school "You know how is she"
"I know, but at least she could be more like the others. You know, more normal"
"She's normal, let's just say that she has a free spirit"
The day finish rather quickly in class 3-C, Ekoda finish the lecture and go right to Akane. She put her books in her backpack and wait for Ekoda to talk to her. She just wants this to end quickly so she can go back home.
"Come with me, Akane" He said. She got up and follow Ekoda to the Director's office. When they enter, the Director wasn't there. In his desk instead was Mitsuru Kirijo, the head of the Kirijo Group. "Kirijo, I bring Akane Arisato"
"Thanks, Ekoda. You can leave now" She pointed at the door
"Sorry, but I think I'll stay"
"Suit yourself... Akane, we have this discussion before, didn't we?" She asks. Akane just looks at the desk in front of her
"Yes and I'm sorry. It´s just that I don't care what the Director have to say, it's the same thing every year like he was some kind of recorder. I bet he just read the same thing over and over again" Mitsuru couldn't deny that the Director say the same thing over and over again, every year. But she was being disrespectful.
"Watch your mouth, kid! You´re like your mother" Ekoda said and Akane turns around, angry about that.
"Say that again, Ekoda! I dare you, my mother is an angel compared to me" Akane yells at him
"An angel? Is that so? Then why are you here? She have you while she was still in high school, I'm surprised you didn't end up like her. Getting pregnant from a random student and having a child" Akane was angry, really angry. She hates when people talk about her mother like that. She wants to punch him, but Mitsuru was there. She needs to control herself.
"Ekoda! That's enough, get out" Mitsuru yells at him and he obey. When he gets out, Akane sits down in the chair and let out a tear. Mitsuru notice that and went to support her. "Akane, are you okay?"
"Mitsuru-San... It's my fault?"
"What?"
"If i didn't born, mom would have a better life?"
"... Don't say that Akane"
"But is true, isn't it?" Mitsuru stays quiet for a moment, she didn't know what to respond. What Akane said wasn't really a lie. What would have been in Minako Arisato's life if Akane didn't born? "I´m sorry for what I did today, it won't repeat. I promise... Sorry, but I need to go now. I'm not in the mood"
"I understand, we will continue this tomorrow. Is it okay for you?"
"... Yes, it's okay" Akane didn't say goodbye, she just gets out of the room and exit the school alone. Mitsuru stays silent for a moment after Akane get out of the office, Ekoda enter a few minutes after with a proud smile.
"She wasn't that tough, Kirijo" He said. "Kids like that need a punch from reality" Mitsuru get up and yell at him. She knew Akane for a long time and she never saw her crying
"Shut up!"
"Wha-"
"Ekoda, you don't know Minako Arisato as well as I do. She's the strongest person I ever met, she gives up everything for Akane. I was there, I help her with everything she needs. You don't have the right to say that to Akane!" Mitsuru pause for a moment and close her eyes, Minako is her best friend, the sister of Makoto Arisato. The man she loved, the one she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. She can't let Ekoda insult Akane... If Makoto would be alive, they would be a family now. Akane would have been her niece. She can't let someone like him, talk like that in Akane's back "Ekoda, you´re fired"
"You can´t do that!" Ekoda try to reply
"I can! The Kirijo group owns this school and I can fire anyone I want. Now get out!" Ekoda wanted to answer back, but he couldn't, Kirijo got him. He turns around and left, on his way to the hallway, he pushes away Misaki and Haruka that were going to the Director's office. When they arrive, Mitsuru was covering her eyes. She was upset.
"Mmmm, Mitsuru-San, What happened?" Misaki asked
"... I fired Ekoda" She said with a sad face
"Finally!" Haruka scream and the two girls look at him "Sorry... I mean, why did you do that?"
"He insults Akane and her mother and I can´t let him do that. Akane leaves the school crying"
"Akane... Cry?" Misaki and Haruka ask, they never saw Akane crying. Akane was known to be a quiet girl, someone who doesn't share her feelings to the public, only when she's singing she show happiness, angry, sorrow, everything. But with friends and family she´s a stone.
"Yes... Can you two do me a favor?" Mitsuru ask, but they already know what she wants
"There's no need for you to tell us, we'll look for her. She's our senpai after all" Said Misaki and they leave the room
"Thanks"
Akane ends up in Paulownia mall, she was sitting in a bank looking at the people buying, at the kids playing in the arcade, students going to the karaoke, etc. Sometimes she thinks how life would have been if she didn't born at all... And what if her father would be there for her. She doesn´t know him and her mother don´t really tell her anything, she only told her a name, Ryoji Mochizuki.
Akane stays there for a couple of minutes, thinking and trying to repress her anger, her emotions, everything. After she finally made it, she got up and decide to spend some time in the arcade. She was pretty good at video games, especially in the RPG... But she sucks in fighting games. She enters, buy coins and start to play in the racing games. Every kid that played with her, end up losing. She starts to get bored, it was too easy for her. She decided to test her luck and play a fighting game, street fighter maybe. She waits until someone wanted to play with her. A little kid shows up.
"Hey kid, you want to play against me?" Akane asks with a smile
"Sure" He said, sits down and the match start, the result was always the same... She loses, epically.
"As Always... I suck at these games" She said and sigh
"Me too, but it was luck... I think" Akane saw the kid again, he was wearing a blue hat with a symbol in the middle, he had red hair, black eyes, white pants and a T-shirt of Akane's favorite anime, One Punch Man. Akane smile at him, she remembers watching that anime when she was little, she wanted to be like Saitama. Someone who beats the bad guy with a single punch, it was her hero. She still like the anime, but she was more into the music now, sometimes she sings the openings of various anime.
"Hey, what's your name?" She asks, even though she knows that she won't see him again
"I'm Takeshi Iori" He answered
"... Iori?"
"Yeah, why?" Akane thinks for a second, she knows the last name but she doesn't remember from where
"Never mind... It was a pleasure kid" Akane said goodbye and leave the arcade. She was better now, it was time to go home. She walks away, but someone scream at her
"AKANE!"
"What?!" Before she could react, Haruka jump on her and both fall to the ground "What's the meaning of this Haruka?!" She yells
"Mitsuru told us everything, are you okay? Are you still sad? What about Karaoke?" Misaki appears behind Haruka and punch him in the head
"Don't do that again to her Haruka. You're acting like a child!" Misaki yells at Haruka
"A child who cares about people. Everything's okay Akane you can cry, I'll cry with you"
"... What's your problem now?" Akane was confused
"You know how I get when people I know are crying or feel bad. I get like that" He answered. Akane sighs
"... Haruka, jump on me again and I swear I'll kill you" She was about to get up when she saw a Haruka's hand in her breast "Haruka... You know what are you touching?"
"What?" He looks down and saw his hand touching her breast, quickly he let go "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please don't kill me, Senpai!" Akane got up and saw Haruka apologies in the ground, instead of turning around and leave like she always do, she smile and let out a little laugh.
"Akane, are you laughing?" Misaki asks
"What? I can't laugh at Haruka? He's funny when he's scared"
"Hey! I'm not scared... I was just begging for my life" The trio start to laugh, it's been a long time since the three laugh like that. Akane was a friend of them since she was 8, they do everything together despite the years each one has.
"Misaki, Haruka... i'm okay now, it's just... i was angry at Ekoda"
"Mitsuru told us and she fired Ekoda" Said Misaki
"Really?!" Akane asks
"Yes, When you left he insult you again and Mitsuru kicks him out"
"Hehe... i own her"
"Do us a favor... Don't sleep again in school" Said Misaki and pat her shoulder
"I can't promise you that" Misaki give her a look "I already promise to Mitsuru" Misaki smile at her "Let's go home. I'm starving"
"Akane... You eat 12 hamburger the other day like nothing, what do you do with the food?" Haruka wanted to know her secret
"My stomach is a portal to another dimension"
"What, the meat dimension?" Misaki joked around
"Probably..." They laugh again and exit Paulownia Mall, Akane was still thinking of what would have been if she wasn't born in the world. It's a sad thought, but she can't help it but to feel guilty. It's true, maybe she ruin her mother's life, maybe not. One thing was for sure... Minako Arisato give everything for her and Akane couldn't thank her enough for that. She gives her a life, and she intends to live it the best she could... Or at least try.
