Chapter 3

Naoto was the last person Yu expected to see at the moment but he figured she was on a case or something but it was good to see her.

"What brings you to town Naoto?" Yu asked.

"The death of that man who strangled himself," Naoto said, "I trust you heard about it."

"Yeah my dad says it was an old high school friend of his," Yu said, "I found it strange someone would do that."

"That's the thing the evidence doesn't match up," Naoto said, "On the outside it does seem like the man strangled himself but there are other wounds that didn't seem to be self inflicted."

"So he was attacked…" Yu said.

"I have a suspicion a Persona was involved since I heard what happened from Yosuke," Naoto said, "But I can't just go to the police and say that."

"Yeah my uncle didn't buy it when I told him about the TV world and personas the first time," Yu said, "He thought I was making it up."

"Anyways it seems the police are labeling his death as suicide," Naoto replied, "I was hoping you could tell me what you saw in the store during that robbery as they called it."

"It was a guy with long gray hair," Yu said, "I guess you could say he looked like a hippy but he wasn't wearing a shirt and had a revolver."

"Hmm I remember reading a report of a person like that," Naoto said, "I'll see what I can dig up perhaps I can find a photo of him in the old records."

"He seemed to be threatening these two people in the store and they were wondering why he was back…" Yu said, "They were talking like he was back from the dead."

"Interesting," Naoto said, "Did you happen to hear anything?"

"Yeah something like 'You're coming with us' or something along those lines," Yu said, "Than he summoned a persona and started to attack them."

"Hmm lucky you were there Senpai," Naoto said, "But you need to be careful this man sounds dangerous."

"He definitely felt that way," Yu said, "But I don't think he knows who I am so I should be safe."

"Yes but just be careful," Naoto said, "Who knows when that may change."

"I will," Yu replied.

Naoto's phone went off and she nodded.

"I should be going," Naoto said, "I'll do some research on what you told me and hopefully have some information for you."

"Thanks Naoto," Yu said, "When you see the others tell them I said hi okay?"

"I will," Naoto replied.

Meanwhile…

In Inaba Yosuke was again working extra shifts for Teddie's inability to focus on work.

"Hey I want to get this done before curfew Teddie," Yosuke said.

"I want to call Nanachan," Teddie said.

Yosuke took his phone away.

"After work okay we're on the clock," Yosuke said.

"Aw your no fun Yosuke," Teddie said pouting.

"Why am I always stuck with you?" Yosuke asked.

"Because with Chie I always say something and she kicks me," Teddie said happily.

"Dude you're way too happy about that," Yosuke said.

"Speaking of Chie has she scored a hot stud yet?" Teddie asked.

"I told you to drop that Teddie," Yukiko said, "It's embarrassing when you keep repeating it."

"Yeah seriously," Chie said walking over with her, "So working late again Yosuke?"

"Yeah Mr. Attention Hog can't focus on work again," Yosuke said, "What brings you guys here?"

"We were wondering if you heard from Yu," Chie said, "You know about the robbery close to his house."

"Oh he's fine," Yosuke said, "I gave him a call earlier."

"Oh that's good," Yukiko said hiding a blush but Chie caught it.

"You're blushing," Chie said, "Aw does someone have a crush?"

"Chie…" Yukiko said, "It's nothing like that I mean he probably has someone over there anyways."

"Ah ha I knew it," Chie said, "Don't worry we'll keep it a secret."

Yukiko blushed more and Chie smiled.

"Sensei asked me if the midnight channel was back," Teddie said.

"Why would he do that?" Chie asked.

"Oh yeah apparently there was a incident with a persona in that robbery," Yosuke said, "I don't know the details but he mentioned it."

"Hmm I don't think it's back," Chie said, "is it Teddie?"

"Nope," Teddie replied, "It's all clear on the other side."

"Well maybe we should all go see him," Chie said, "We have break coming up right?"

"Yeah but not sure if we can get off work," Yosuke said, "Unless we get some part timers to take our shifts."

"Yay we're going to see Sensei," Teddie said, "I'm going to bring him lots of snacks!"

Teddie seemed to run off and Yosuke sighed.

"He's got a one track mind…" Yosuke replied.

Soon he and Teddie were leaving for home and Teddie got tackled by a dog that came out of nowhere.

"Hey you can't have my snacks," Teddie said.

"Koromaru stop it," A boy said running over.

"Wow that's a cute dog," Yosuke said as the boy got the dog off of Teddie who was grasping the snacks thinking they were in danger, "Koromaru his name?"

"Yes," The boy said, "Sorry he doesn't normally jump on people like that."

"Ah you're a cute dog," Yosuke said petting the dog who seemed to enjoy it but growled at Teddie.

"These are Sensei's snacks," Teddie said.

"Sensei?" The boy asked, "is that a pet or…?"

"Nope Sensei is what I call someone I respect," Teddie said, "We're going to see him in a…"

"He's a friend or ours," Yosuke said, "Teddie calls him Sensei."

"Ah I see," The boy said, "My names Ken Amada."

"I'm Yosuke Hanamura and that's Teddie," Yosuke said.

Koromaru seemed to have calmed down around Teddie as if sensing he wasn't a threat.

"Well we better get going before my parents throw a fit," Yosuke said, "Curfew and all that."

"Yeah they'll blame you for keeping poor innocent me out so late," Teddie said.

"Sad thing is they would…" Yosuke said, "Anyways see ya kid."

They walked off and Teddie stopped as if he sensed something.

"What's up Teddie?" Yosuke asked.

"I smell something," Teddie said.

"What is it?" Yosuke asked serious.

Teddie ran off back towards Junes and Yosuke followed him.

They saw Ken and Koromaru facing off against a guy in green holding a grenade of some kind.

"Well look who I found," The guy said, "A bit away from your friends aren't you?"

"Jin?" Ken asked, "What are you doing back you were killed in Tartarus."

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Jin asked, "but don't worry you'll get your answers if you come with me."

Koromaru growled and Ken saw Jin summon his persona.

'That's a persona…' Yosuke thought, 'just like Yu was saying…'

Ken and Koromaru backed up and Jin's persona released a Maragion spell knocking both back.

Yosuke looked at Teddie and suddenly their cards seemed to appear in their hands.

"Our personas," Yosuke said, "well might as well use them Ready Teddie?"

"Ready," Teddie said.

"Susano-o come out to play," Yosuke said summoning it.

"Bearsona," Teddie said summoning Kamui.

Both personas seemed to move to protect the two from another attack from Jin and both ran over.

"You guys okay?" Yosuke asked.

"Those are Personas…" Ken said, "Did you summon them?"

"You know about Personas?" Teddie asked.

"Not now Teddie we have to…" Yosuke started and looked for Jin but he was gone, "Where'd he go?"

"He vanished," Teddie said, "I can't sense him anymore."

Both personas vanished and Ken looked at Yosuke.

"How can you guys summon your personas when we can't?" Ken asked.

"I don't know," Yosuke said, "but since we seem to have a common enemy we might as well work together."

They heard police sirens from nearby.

"We better get out of here though before the cops think we caused the explosion," Yosuke said.

End Chapter

If your curious how Jin can be in Yu's hometown and Inaba the next it will be explained later. But now Jin knows of other persona users and that's a problem for the group but honestly they were going to be found out eventually so why not make this how it happened. Anyways please read and review and thanks for the current reviews I'll take what was said into account.
