Yukari POV
It was sunday and none of my friends were willing to hang out in this heat so I went ahead to Naganaki Shrine to find Junpei there along with Ken-kun.
I met him not a long time ago when Junpei and I went to the shrine he looked alone so we talked to him and became good friends he was about 10 years old with brown hair and eyes he also went to Gekkoukan but he was in elementary.
"Hello there Ken-kun" I greeted with a smile to the child.
"Hello Yukari-san" he smiled back "How have you been?" he asked one thing I noticed about him even though he was in elementary he still tried to act like a grown up.
"Pretty good" Stupei answered for me "We got a new dorm mate other than that nothing is going on"
"Oh the more the merrier I suppose " he commented I giggled inside he looked cute trying to act like a adult.
"Who is he may I ask?"
"Oh he's a transfer student with a weird hair colour of blue" Junpei told him I remembered last night how effortlessly he beat up those punk's Junpei thanked him a millions times very unlike him since he would get jealous whenever Minato-kun did anything good.
"I see I'd like to meet him someday" Ken-kun said.
I saw a flash of blue and turned around to see Minato-kun with his headphones on and carrying a bouquet of flowers heading into the cemetery.
"Oh Ken looks like your wish has been granted" he pointed towards him and Ken-kun turned towards Minato-kun who opened the door and went in.
Minato POV
Since I arriving here I never went to the cemetery.I felt like such an ass so today even though Kenji and Yuko asked to hang out I turned them all down I wanted to visit my sister.
I arrived at her grave and looked on the tombstone "Hamuko Arisato" Dammit everytime I think about her I feel pathetic I got all the strength in the world right now but still I couldn't save her...Just thinking about it makes me want to bust some shadows.
I gently put the flowers on her grave and inspite of feeling gloomy smiled "Hey there sis sorry I haven't been here often alot has been going on...I joined a group dedicated to fight those pricks they all seem pretty nice people not like my other so called friends they...actually care for me." I dropped to my knees grief taking over again I wanted to cry my eyes out but I promised her I'll never cry again. "Although not even close to what you did...but I still let you...go" I punched the ground "I'm so pathetic" I punched the ground again this time harder "I'll end this or I'll die trying" Another punch my knuckles were hurting but I didn't care...I knew pain all too well.
I sighed "But this time I'm ready I wont loose anyone important to me again...if I ever find someone that is" I looked at the tombstone again and smiled "I'll visit you again sis I promise see you" I bid her farewell and turned around and moved out of the cemetery humming Burn my Dread to fight the grief away
I'll face the sun with the pride of living~!
I heard someone shout my name "Oi Minato"
Yukari POV
I saw the whole event from the side he punched the ground multiple times and his fists were looked completely...shattered. I felt my heart being ripped I couldn't stand seeing him like this and during all that he didn't even shed a single tear living off a loved one sacrifice that must feel silver eyes were full of hurt and anger.
"Hey" he greeted us with a low voice.
"Are you okay dude?" Junpei asked and Minato nodded shakily.
"Are you sure?" I asked to which he nodded his eyes were still full of hurt he closed them took a few deep breaths and opened them again to reveal his sadness being masked away."Y-Yeah I'm totally ok so what are you guys doing here" he asked his voice still had a hint of sadness I could still feel something linger in my heart...helplessness he is emotionally broken right now and there isn't a damn thing I can do.
"Introduction" he truned to Ken-kun who was sitting on a bench "Hey Ken come on here" Ken-kun walked towards us.
"Minato this is Ken and Ken this is the guy I was talking about earlier" Junpei introduced both of them.
Minato quickly hid his sadness infront of Ken and smiled at him "Hey there" and Ken-kun almost looked shy "H-Hello my name is Ken Amada its a pleasure to meet you" he smiled a bit back "Same here" Minato-kun said back.
We spent a few hours talking but occasionally Minato-kun would look towards the cemetery but would quickly recompose himself whenever someone asked him was almost evening we bid fairwell to Ken-kun and walked back towards the dorm Minato-kun walked with a faster place than us listening to the song at max volume.
We entered the dorm and he almost collapsed on the couch I sat beside him and Junpei went into the kitchen for instant he was out of the way I had to ask Minato-kun.
"Minato-kun" he looked at me "Are you really alright? You seem to be in so much pain I-" he chuckled and waved his hand "Don't worry about it I'm alright just got reminded of how pathetic I was years ago" I kept silent not knowing what to say. He turned towards me and smiled a bit "Stop worrying about me I'm used to it" he patted me on the shoulder and went towards the stairs punching the wall as he went he left a single tear fell down my cheek "I wish I could do something for you Minato-kun" I thought but was amazed yet again by him he refused to cry and ask for sympathy...He truly is one-of-a-kind.
Next day...
Minato POV
I was in the faculty office with Mitsuru interrogating Natsuki Moriyama about Fuuka Yamagishi she was the one who bullied her from what I saw during pratice I heard the door open to see Yukari and Junpei walk in and they were surprised.
"Oh Minato-kun and Mitsuru-senpai why are you guys here?" she asked
"Same reason as you Takeba" she turned to that stupid old man Mr Ekoda "I would like to ask you about Fuuka Yamagishi"
The girl Natsuki yelled "No I never thought it would end up like th-" Ekoda stopped her mid sentence "No Natsuki dont tell them anything you wouldn't want to give her the wrong idea"
"Stupid old man" I said through clenched he turned to me and yelled "The hell did you just say? who do you think you ar-" I cut him off.
"Minato Shirogane" and he went wide including Mitsuru looked at me.
"And if you don't answer the questions you both will be behind bars for a very loooong time" I turned to Natsuki "You quickly tell what did you do"
"I..." she stammered
"SPIT IT WOMAN" I spat
"Fuuka... She... She always looked so frazzled whenever I gave her a hard time... Then, I realized... She's an honor student, but deep inside, she's the same as us. I knew exactly which buttons to push. We were just messin' with her that day, too! ... We took Fuuka to the gym... and locked the door from the outside..." she finished and I could feel my anger slipping how dare they.
"Dammit you locked her in" Junpei yelled but Mitsuru held a hand to tell him to calm down.
Natsuki continued "I went to the gym to let Fuuka out, but the door was still locked... So, I opened it and went inside, but she wasn't there... We all freaked out. Starting that night, we all went looking for her. But every night, another one of us went missing... and they each ended up like Maki!" I can see where this is going.
Mitsuru looked grim "I see..." she turned to Ekoda "By the way all this time you attributed her absense as illness what was you intention" she asked with a stern face and Ekoda was sweating.
"I was thinking of the students ofcourse you children may not understand but we have to consider the future of everyone affected and her parents agree" he tried to defend himself and redhead smiled "So to protect your carrear you ignored your responsibility as a teacher HOW DESPICABLE" she spat causing him to mutter gibberish.
"You call yourself a teacher? pathetic" I too spat "You will be charged for this you stupid old man." and now was he afraid "Y-You can't do this I'm s-sorry" I just ignored him and turned to my teammembers "I can see where this is going we need to talk" Mitsuru nodded "I agree lets meet at the student council room after school"
...
We entered the council office and almost at once Junpei gave me a pat on the back "You did awesome work putting Ekoda in his place" he grinned.
"Yeah I always wanted to do that" I smiled back deviously.
"But Minato-kun you didn't want to get the word out that your realated to Shirogane right?" Yukari asked I shrugged "Desperate times calls for desperate measures I suppose"
"Yes" Mitsuru said we all face her way "Arisato you knew where this is going right?" I nodded "Then tell us"
I nodded "From what I can understand she locked Fuuka in the gym for the WHOLE NIGHT" I put emphasis on that word "And as you know at midnight this place turns into..." I could hear Yukari gasp "Soo...let me get this striaght Fuuka-chan is in tartarus?" Ding Ding Ding I nodded "Yeah and for ten days" I wish she would be okay.
"That sucks ten days in tartaurs...she must be..." Junpei said with a grim look but Akihiko cut in "Time may function differantely in Tartarus so even though it's been ten days maybe ten hours just passed for her" Yes ofcourse thats true where could she be the rest of the day? Things were looking up.
"We should enter tartarus just the way Fuuka did we might find her out." I finished
"But isn't that dangerous?" Yukari asked nervously.
"I agree if something goes wrong you could all end up lost in tartarus"
"No way in hell I am just gonna wait here and let her become the prick's prey I'll be going alone if you guys don't wanna come" and Akihiko chuckled "Thats the leader I'm in too" he grinned
Mitsuru sighed "Alright we must still try so the mission for tonight will be to infiltrate the campus we will rescue Yamagishi" she said that and Junpei's face lit up "Cool we get you sneak into school I know just what to do" that face was calculating.
We all were ready to infiltrate the school but just outside...
"Dammit I thought I left it open" Junpei said as she tried to pull the handle of the door Mitsuru sighed "That wasen't very wise Iori what should be do now? should I contact the chairman? I put my hands up "No No watch and learn" I turned to Yukari "Give me a hair pin" she looked confused but removed it from her hair and handed in to me.
I twisted it and turned it into something like a key.I fitted it in the lock and began moving it around." 2 24 34" tick done.I pushed the door open and looked behind me to see shocked faces. "How did you do that Arisato" Mitsuru asked impressed I shrugged "Thats a basic for a detective you know." we all went in until I asked.
"Where's Sakura?" I asked
"I didn't tell her about the operation tonight" Mitsuru answered
"Good she won't take this one seriously"
We all went into our homeroom
"C-Can we turn on the lights?" Yukari was scared heh
"Aww...you scared?" Junpei teased.
"N-No stupei" Sigh here we go again.
"Stop calling me that" Oh man.
"Shut up both of you" I hissed and they both went quiet.
"Alright lets split up you three check the faculty office Akihiko and I will check the janitor's room" hearing this caused Junpei to grin "The faculty office maybe we can find some test questions hehehe" he grinned
"Maybe I should go to the faculty office too it sounds interesting" Not you too Akihiko.
Mitsuru smiled the same one she gave me when I returned late sweet but deadly "Are you planning something unscrupulous under my supervision if so expect to be severely punished." Heh look at those faces now.
"That was just a j-j-j-joke seriously" Junpei's scared shitless.
"Come on Mitsuru lighten up a little" Akihiko tried to calm her down.
"Enough with the excuses lets go to the janitor office Iori your coming with us" She commanded and they left leaving me and Yukari.
"Alright lets get this done with" I told her
"Dont you like spending time with me?" She asked with a frown whats gotten into her?
"N-No just do this before the creep hour comes."
We silently walked towards the main entrance hall when we got there trouble was someone coming with a flashlight.
"S-Somebody's coming" She was panicked.
"What shou-Mmf" I clasped her mouth with my hand and pulled her behind the could be a security guard the torch could be a problem I crossed my legs
"Dont move at all and keep quiet" She nodded into my chest.
"Whos there?" The security guard asked out loud and shit he's coming closer.
I imitated a cat "Meow Meow...Meow."
"Huh must be fox whatever this job aint that great either" he gave a hmph and turned away walking out of the hall. That was close and how the hell could he not tell the difference between a fox and a cat?
"Whew...that was close" she sighed a sigh of relief.
"We might run into a ghost next time" I teased her with a grin and she turned pale
"S-S-Shut up I'm not that a-afraid of-Ahhh" A loud beep came from somewhere more precisely her pocket.
"My cell phone? why now? figures its spam sorry about that it took me by suprise"
I chuckled "That was pretty cute" and she blushed "I-Its not funny" she pouted *sigh*.
We went into the faculty office Ninja Style. Although I regret not opening the door in my own dramatic way.
I checked through a batch of knees janitor,classroom,principle office no gym dammit.
"Its so dark I can barely read these" she took a key and turned to me "What does it say on this one?" she showed me the key...Mo
"Morgue" I answered.
"W-What are you trying to scare me or something trust me you'll pay for that that" she grabbed my collar and held back a fist crazy pink woman.
"Woah chill seriously read it" I created a flame around my hand to allow her to see and there it was Morgue.
"We have a morgue in our school?" she asked I shrugged "Beats me wher-" Oh that crazy nurse who believed himself to be a magician.
"Mr edo-what ever his name is the only crazy teacher here to do a thing like that." I answered and she nodded in approval.
I turned around to see a lone key on the ground I picked it up "G.Y.M found it" I called to her "Lets get out of here creep hour is almost here" We exited the faculty office and just then...
She shrieked "Ahhh t-t-t-thers a-a-a g-g-g-host" She jumped into my arms clutching me tightly I turned towards the door and saw a shadow not a prick but the shadow of something...with long arms and two heads...crap the school is haunted I better call Attis and...huh wait a mintue thats asshat.
"Come out Junpei or I'll blast you with an attack" I called out to him. No answer this was getting on my nerves she was still clutching me dammit I'll beat the daylight out of him I tried to put her down but she refused "N-No way t-thats a g-g-ghost " I tried to calm her down "Thats Junpei"
"No a g-g-ghost" Man is she scared.
"Just wait here" I forcefully put her down and walked towards the shadow walking into the right. I bet she could hear a few low yells and a fist being pulled back I came out seconds later holding Junpei's collar he was using his cap as the second head clever little bugger.
"GOD DAMMIT IT STUPEI I'LL BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF YOU" She yelled and tried to tackled the Junpei who backed away quickly.
I held her "Calm down dammit we need to move do your couple fights sometime later " Do I regret saying that she grabbed me and stomped my foot I couldn't even yell.
"I told you dont ever lump us togather" she said still holding onto my collar this woman has got problems.
"Creep hour is here stop this dammit lets go senpai will have our asses if we dont hurry" I hissed she curtly nodded still glaring daggers at Junpei who smiled sheepishly.
Senpai was waiting for us at the main entrance and just as we arrived she asked "I heard some screams what was that?" she asked.
"D-Dont ask lets just decide who will enter tartarus"
"I'll go" Akihiko said and turned to me "You should come too you can take the lead like always" I nodded and the third member will be.
Yukari raised her hand "Oh I'll be third" she quickly said but Junpei cut in "Wait a mintue remember how I screwed up at the monorail? Give me another chacne I'll wreck the shadows" he confidently said.
"Oh come on its not always about you and beside you didn't accidently screw up" I can see another couple fight here.
"Alright Junpei your in" Akihiko said and Junpei grinned "Count on me"
"But I" Yukari protested and Akihiko smiled "Whats wrong dont want to stay with Mitsuru" hearing this she quickly spoke "No thats ok"
"Its time you better go" Redhead commanded we went into the gym and waited until that blasted hour hit.
With a groan I woke up we where in tartarus...no correction I was there but no asshat and senpai around.
"Hello" someone greeted me from behind...Pharos?
I turned around to see the smiling face of the 7 year old
"What are you doing here?" I asked but he still kept on smiling
"Im always with you but...you better hurry she is waiting for I hope we can speak again" And with that he vanished.
I groaned where the hell could those two be I turned around to see a Gigas running at me I dodged to the left and stuck my sword up his gut killing it.I better find them who knows in what trouble they are I ran through the blood filled corridors.
"Hello? A frail voice called out "Are you human?"
"Yeah" I answered no reponse I tapped my reciver all I heard is static dammit.I kept running the voice kept calling out and I got pissed I waited for it to appear again.
"Are you...human?"
"Dammit yes want me to sing a song?" I yelled at it.
No reponse again I was about to yell again when a flash of green caught my eye I turned around to see a pale girl with green hair and a Gekkoukan uniform...Fuuka is alive!
"A-Arisato-san?" She asked timidly
"Yes your Fuuka right?" I asked and she shakily nodded I smiled at her "Dont worry come with me you'll be alright" she ran towards me "T-Thank you" she clinged to my arm out of fear.
"No problem keep walking with me alright?" I told her and she nodded. I heard a yell from the side and turned around to see another Gigas charing at me...tch.I pushed her out of the way ran and tried to hit me with a punch I dodged swipped his leg making him fall down and then jumped up landing on his face killing shadows.
She looked at me shocked "Y-You killed him" I shook my head "Killed it these aren't humans" and then something hit me "How did you survive with them?" I asked.
"Well...its hard to describe but I can sorta tell where they are" A support persona? redhead wish has been granted "Alright then we better keep moving" We moved forward untill I heard someone call out to me "MINATO WHERE ARE YOU" It sounded like its near "MINATO?" They are right over there "MINATO?" Dammit.
"I'm right over here you idiot stop yelling" Junpei turned around "Oh-huh?" his eyes darted towards Fuuka along with asshat there was Akihiko-senpai.
"Are you Fuuka Yamagishi?" Akihiko asked and Fuuka nodded
"Your alive awesome never fear Junpei's here" he said with a huge grin.
"She has a support persona and stronger than redhead" I told them and they looked shocked "Epic" Junpei muttered and poor Fuuka was lost "P-Persona?" she asked timidly.
Akihiko pulled something out of his pocket and gave it to her a evoker oh so he carried it around and the girl gasped "T-This is?" Akihiko smiled "Think of it as a charm its not really a gun" she nodded and we kept moving untill we reached a floor with no shadows.
"Its a full moon tonight and like Yuka-tan said it does look creepy" Junpei said as he stared into the moon and then somthing hit is it just me or...
"Minato" Akihiko asked catching my attention "When the dorm was attacked was it a...full moon?" he asked and apparentely he was thinking the same thing.
"Yeah and the monorail incident happened during a full moon Yukari commented on it that means...oh shit" I could hear Fuuka gasp and turned to her "What is it it's much bigger than the others and its attacking someone" he stated goddamit I hope the girls are ok I tapped my reciver "Yukari Senpai can you hear me?" I yelled and she answered "Arisato...shadows...trouble..."
"CRAP its them if I guessed correct they appear during a full moon the girls are in trouble" I yelled and they all panicked
"What can we do?" Junpei asked I looked around...a terminal.
"Look there a terminal lets go hurry Fuuka you too" I grabbed her hand and ran towards the terminal.
Yukari POV
Senpai and I were beaten bad these shadows appeared out of nowhere smashed senpai's bike and none of our attacks were working dammit where are the guys? where is Minato-kun? There were two shadows one was a pot bellied with a rapier,a long neck and on top of it a empress mask the other one was bigger with a huge body,small legs a gigantic sword and a emperor mask on empress was about to hit us with the sword when a flash of green light erupted from the terminal and in came the guys with a girl with green hair she look paled...is that Fuuka?
The suddence apperance of them caught the attention of the shadows as they turned towards them.
Minato-kun instructed the others "Fuuka get to safety now,Junpei and Akihiko attack the emperor I'll take care of the empress" he looked and gritted his teeth "Damn you shadows" he raised his left arm and muttered a spell,his hand flared with a glowing fire it grew larger and larger by the threw it at the empress and that thing took it head on the fire did nothing to add insult it rubbed the place and if taunting Minato-kun and this angered him even more he drew his evoker to his head and yelled.
Ardhanari! This must be a fusion entire body was on fire as he taunted the shadow "Try to take this one you prick" and as fast as light he charged at the shadow and tackled it throwing it a good distance away smashing it through a shadow still got up with no burn marks what are these things?
"What the? It took damage from the tackle not from the fire" he turned to Junpei and the two senpai who were fighting the emperor "Try to use physical attacks magic ain't working he yelled" and Mitsuru-senpai replied "No it isn't Arisato" she said as she tried to slash the emperor but there was no damage.
"What are these thi-" his sentence was cut short as the empress blasted him with a wind spell he flew backwards and smashed into a pillar.
"MINATO" I screamed.
He got up with a look of pure anger on his glared at the shadow "YOU PISS ME OFF" he summoned a card and crushed it the angle Helel appearing behind him is he gonna? no way not here.
"MINATO NOT HERE THE PILLARS WILL BE DESTROYED AND THE PLACE MIGHT COLLASPE" Akihiko-senpai shouted as he dodged a sword strike and tried to throw a jab with no effect.
"Damn it " he cursed and charged at the shot himself with a evoker.
"Lillim" he summoned and a girl with a leotard and wings she floated in the air smiling.
"Agi Bufu Zio Garu" He commanded her as all the spells hit the shadow to no effect.
"The hell?" he asked shadow lunged forward swining its rapier at him he drew his sword and blocked it just in time they kept pushing the swords and the shadow was winning until...
Minato-kun eye's turned black and I knew what was gonna happen next.
"THANATOS" He yelled as the god of death manifested behind him letting out a scream that almost shattered my ear drums.
"Tempest Slash" he commanded as the persona drew his sword and attacked the shadow who let out a scream and is flew backwards from the attack seeing this Minato smirked. "Weak to slash huh?" The shadow slowly got up and raised its rapier what was it gonna do?
It muttered something and a rainbow like glow engulfed it but nothing looked changed Minato-kun summoned Thanatos again to try to attack but this time the sword didn't do any damage. What was happening.
He jumped back and yelled "Thats it Black Vi-" his sentence was cut short as he stared at the entrance of the tower I looked at it and saw that girl Natsuki walking towards Fuuka who was standing at the side.
Fuuka POV
I was scared what are those things? and what are the things appearing from there heads?
"F-Fukka" I heard someone call my name it was Natsuki-chan.
"No you should'nt be here" I yelled but she kept walking
"I'm sorry" she was almost in a trance she kept walking ignoring all the carnage around her. She stopped when she reached me and spoke "Forgive me Im sorry" the creature with a empress mask that Arisato-san was fighting lunged at us.I have to protect Natsuki-chan and almost like an instinct the gun Sanada-senpai gave me.I placed it onto my forehead "Per...so...na" *BANG*
Minato POV
Fuuka shot herself with an evoker and what came next was suprising she and that stupid girl were in some kind of dome...no it looked like the belly of a persona with a pink dress and bandages around its face. It was a support persona and a far more powerful one.
The shadow's sword bounced off it and the impact caused it to stagger back I charged towards it kicking it in the neck and that did damage.
"I can sense the weakness the empress is weak to strike and the emperor is weak to wind" I smirked "Thats more like it"
I summoned a card and crushed it summoning the mysterious angle Metatron.
"Crush it Metatron God's hand" The angle raised his hands and a golden fist came slamming into the shadow Metatron was among my strongest personas so safe to say the shadow was no more.
I looked at Yukari she was hurt and I totally ignored her the whole time I ran towards her charging a salvation into my hand and healing her. She huffed.
"Took you long enough" I smiled "Sorry about that now go wreck that stupid shadow" I said as I handed her my evoker she nodded and held it on her temple a gunshot rang and IO the daughter of Zeus appeared.
"IO Garula" A gust of strong wind hit the shadow and the three members of SEES stepped back the shadow was screaming in agony as it lifted into the wind and came trashing down with a thud.
I summoned a card and crushed it calling upon Satan to finish it.
"Black Viper" Comets of black rock hit the shadow it screamed once more and it was reduced to ashes...the battle was over.
"That was tough" I said and leaned against the pillar.
The persona of Fuuka disappeared and she looked relieved...pale but relieved nontheles.
She asked the stupid girl "Are you alright?" and she shakily nodded Fuuka smiled and then collasped Natsuki started crying as he held her head.
"I'm sorry Fuuka I'm sorry" She cried even more...I forgive her she really was worried about her.
"Lets get back to the dorm the dark hour is almost over" I said as I wiped the sweat off my forehead.
"What about Natsuki? she saw it all" Yukari asked and I shook my head "She wont remember" and Yukari's expression turned worried "That means she wont remember that Fuuka saved her life its not fair."
"I dont think it will matter" Redhead said as she looked at them "I think she has learned her lesson"
We all took the girls to the hospital I was fatigued so I crashed into bed and went asleep the second my face hit the pillow.
