Chapter 11

Yu didn't tell Aigis he had seen Minato since Aigis only saw Orpheus appear though he knew if he told anyone she'd believe him.

He was currently walking to school and he could see Aigis and Koromaru keeping an eye on him in case Strega appeared.

It felt strange having to be watched all the time and sometimes he wanted so privacy but he also remembered what Minato had told him.

'Be careful around Mariko she's after your power' Minato's voice said from his memory.

'I didn't trust her to begin with but why is she so interested in my power?' Yu thought, 'Sure I can summon multiple personas but…if she doesn't have the ability she can't do it so how would she even get it?'

He saw a couple of his friends run over and noted he had a red ribbon on his bag.

"Hey what's that for?" One asked.

"Kind of girly," The other replied.

"A close friend of mine from Inaba gave it to me," Yu said, "She…"

"She?" The first asked, "So Yu's got a girlfriend huh?"

"What's she look like?" The second asked, "Is she hot?"

"Seriously is that all you two think about?" Yu asked, "I mean sure she is but there's more to it than just looks."

"If you say so," The first said, "You have a picture?"

"Yeah c'mon show us," The second replied.

"Maybe later," Yu said as they got to school, "We'll be late if we don't hurry."

Meanwhile…

"Hey where's that lucky ribbon you always have?" Chie asked.

(I know Yukiko doesn't have a lucky ribbon but it's my fic so she does)

"Oh I gave it to Yu," Yukiko said, "He needs the extra luck."

"I saw Sensei had it on his bag," Teddie replied, "Yukiko found a hot stud."

"Teddie…" Yukiko said annoyed of the 'hot stud' comments, "Drop it."

"Yukiko's scaring me Yosuke," Teddie said backing up scared, "She's got a scary look on her face."

"Sorry Ted you're on your own," Yosuke said.

"What's that supposed to mean Yosuke?" Chie asked glaring at him.

"Just that I'd rather avoid getting hurt," Yosuke said, "You guys are more deadly than shadows when you're mad."

"And I thought you were a real man," Chie said, "Real men don't cower from a fight."

"They do when they know Karate or can set people on fire," Yosuke said, "Besides Teddie said the hot stud thing I didn…"

He gulped as Yukiko glared at him and begged for mercy.

"I'm sorry please don't hurt me," Yosuke said.

"C'mon sensei you're always talking about how you aren't scared of Chie chan," Teddie said.

"Teddie…stop talking," Yosuke said.

"And you're always saying she's just as imposing as a teddy bear," Teddie said.

"You what?" Chie asked glared.

"Oh yeah Yosuke says it all the time back home," Teddie said, "That and he…."

Yosuke quickly covered Teddie's mouth and laughed.

"The things he hears on TV these days," Yosuke replied, "he heard all that stuff from a show on TV I told him it was too violent but he doesn't listen to me."

"Really?" Chie asked, "There's a character named Chie on the show?"

"Yeah," Yosuke replied, "what a coincidence huh?"

"It's not a coincidence," Teddie said, "That TV show doesn't even exist."

"Ugh I give up just end my misery…" Yosuke said.

Mitsuru walked in as Yosuke got kicked in the groin and didn't comment just assuming he did something stupid.

"Ow…" Yosuke said groaning.

"That looks like it hurt," Teddie said.

"More than you know…" Yosuke replied.

"Let's leave him be Yukiko," Chie answered.

"Right," Yukiko said coldly and looked at Mitsuru with a calm voice, "Is Yu okay?"

"Yes," Mitsuru said, "Aigis said that he made it to school just fine."

"But man he seemed distracted the other day," Yosuke said recovering from the kick, "Like he saw a ghost or something."

"Yeah he's been zoning out a lot lately," Chie replied, "I wish he'd tell us what's wrong."

"Hey have you guys seen Naoto around?" Kanji asked, "She's never around here."

"That may be because of me," Mitsuru said, "we don't exactly get along."

"I think she's also keeping an eye on Yu," Yukiko said, "Doing her job or something like that."

"Man I bet Senpai must really hate all this attention," Kanji said, "I know I'd get annoyed being watched oh yeah I was…"

"Well you were in danger back than," Yosuke said.

"Oh right yeah," Kanji said, "But you two tried to pull off being girlfriend/boyfriend I could see right through that."

"Well we were pretty low on excuses," Yosuke said.

"Well now though you two seem to fit a couple pretty nicely," Kanji said, "You're like an old married couple."

"What?" Chie asked, "we do not."

"Yeah totally," Yosuke replied, "she just kicked me in the groin if you hadn't noticed."

"Yeah taped the whole thing with my phone," Kanji replied, "Might put it up on the internet later."

"And my day gets worse…" Yosuke said, "Anyways what makes you think we're a couple now?"

"Just my gut," Kanji replied, "Nothing much."

Yu meanwhile was heading to his next class when he felt he was being watched again but not by Aigis or Koromaru.

'Could it be Minato again?' Yu thought.

He shook it off as the feeling vanished and Yu sighed.

'Maybe it was my nerves this time' Yu thought, 'I haven't really be myself lately.'

Later after school he was walking out and saw Aigis, Naoto, and Koromaru at the gate.

"Hey," he said, "You guys didn't have to wait for me."

"They seem to attack you more than us," Naoto said, "so we couldn't leave you alone."

"Well I haven't seen them all day so…" Yu said.

They heard a few girls talking.

"Yeah those two were freaky," The girl said, "They just kept staring at the school."

"I think someone called the cops on them and they left," Another said.

Yu wondered if they were talking about Strega but his line of thought was distracted by Yukiko who walked over.

"Yukiko what are you doing here?" Yu asked.

"I wanted to walk with you," Yukiko said, "I hope that's okay."

"I don't mind," Yu replied.

"That's good," Yukiko said, "so did anything happen today?"

"Not really," Yu answered, "though some girls said these two guys were staring at the school earlier."

"You think it was them?" Yukiko asked.

"I don't know," Yu replied, "But it probably was."

"They must be coming after you because of your power," Naoto said, "I wonder why though."

"The wild card is a very dangerous power in the wrong hands," Aigis said, "If they could use such a power…"

"Yeah," Yu said.

They all started back for the hotel and Yu walked with Yukiko behind them.

They heard sounds of a gunshot up ahead and saw Strega waiting for them.

"Why am I not surprised?" Yu asked.

"Oh you aren't happy to see us?" Takaya asked, "That hurts my feelings."

"You guys attacking us is becoming old," Naoto replied.

"True," Jin said, "I'll say we keep getting into battles and that has gotten quite old."

"And every time we do you're saved by some ghost of a child that is long dead," Takaya said.

"Minato?" Aigis asked.

"Yeah him," Jin replied, "Not sure why he wants to help you all when he's got such an important job though."

"Though if he were to come help we could summon Nyx to this world yet again," Takaya said.

Koromaru whined and Aigis got in front of Yu attacking the two with her guns in her hands.

"That will never happen," Aigis said, "We will not let you destroy the world."

"Well if your precious Minato returns he'll doom you all," Takaya said, "Either way we still win even if Miss Mariko doesn't get what she's after."

"So she did bring you back," Mitsuru said walking up behind them.

"Yeah the doc brought us back," Jin replied, "Something about wanting persona users to complete her experiment so she revived us to find you all."

"Of course having a person with the wild card changed her plans," Takaya said, "So if you want us to stop attacking you well you only have one option."

"Let me guess," Yu said, "If I give myself up you'll stop?"

"Oh a smart one," Takaya said, "exactly and we'll even give you some time to think about it."

Both vanished and Aigis looked at Yu.

"You see Minato?" Aigis asked.

"Yeah," Yu said, "I'm guessing it's connected to the wild card…"

"Well regardless of the fact we can't give Yu to them," Mitsuru said, "My apologies about how that came out."

"It's fine," Yu said, "I'm not giving myself up either…"

"Man are you guys in a pickle," A familiar voice said happily.

"Adachi?" Naoto asked, "What are you doing free?"

"Community service…" Adachi said, "I figured you guys needed a hand."

Chapter End

And End chapter 11. It's kind of dull I know but I'm running low on ideas at times. Anyways Adachi is back but he may or may not become a villain in the future. Well I suppose I can put it up to vote here.

Adachi…

1. Can be secretly working for Mariko

2. He's a good guy and there to help them out

3. Good for now but turns evil later

Which one sounds good to you?
