Minato POV

Last night was difficult the shadows are becoming stronger and smarter that empress targated Fuuka so she could not summon her persona we won in the end but using the spells did made me a bit tired today.

I walked into school and Yukari greeted me "Hey Minato-kun"

"Hello" I greeted back she fidgeted for a moment but asked "Hey do you think Mitsuru-senpai rescued Fuuka because of her persona or the right reasons?" What a stupid question she didn't even know Fuuka had a persona untill she summoned it.

"For the right reasons" I said simply she stared for a few seconds and then nodded and we both went in...and sleep.

I got dragged to the ramen shop by Kenji one thing about Iwatodai is I love the ramen here this thing is awesome Kenji didn't eat he was staring at the window.I ignored his silent treatment untill he looked at me annoyed "Aren't you supposed to say somthing?" he asked I shrugged and he realeased a sigh.

"Do you think I can get a girlfriend?" He asked with curiousity.

"No" I answered simply and began eating the 5th bowl of ramen.

"That isn't a nice thing to say" he said dryly.

"I don't care" I answered back.

"Dammit dude I need help remember the teacher I told you about?" I nodded absently "We need to launch an attack

"Another bowl please" I said to the waiter.I looked at him "Ok spit it" he grinned and then began speaking "You tease a few girls infront of her I come in and kick your ass infront of them she becomes impressed by me and I'll handle the rest" he finished with a grin still on his face.

"...How about I wring your neck right now?" I said with a deadly smile "It will look impressive since you will be fighting with a broken neck."

He gulped "N-Nah thats ok. I'll just ask her out but can you alteast be there with me?" he asked "Whatever" I replied as the 7th bowl arrived and I began eating.

"Awesome I knew I could count on you."

SMASH...

Magician link level 4...

We walked home he was telling me the whole plan which I ignored during the walk I recieved a text "Fuuka is back get back to the dorm ASAP" It was redhead so Fuuka healed quickly that was really nice.

Yukari POV

"Hello my name is Yukari Takeba" I greeted Fuuka with a smile the colour had returned to her face and I was relieved.

"Hello Yukari-chan my name is Fuuka" she smiled back a bit weakly.

The door opened and in came Minato-kun one headphone clipped to his righ ear he was drinking a mad bull. "Oh sorry I'm late Ke-" he stopped as he saw Ikutsuki sitting there "Alright why are you here?" his face showed no emotion now.

"O-Oh just welcoming the new dorm member" he smiled weakly but Minato-kun kept his blank face "I swear" he quickly added.

Mintao-kun gave a hmph sat down next to me...crap why am I blushing?

"And we were?" he asked his eyes still fixed on Ikutsuki who was sweating now.

"Right Yamagishi this is Arisato the leader of our group" Mitsuru introduced them and Fuuka replied "I know Arisato-san he saved me from Kyle" Minato-kun tore his eyes away from Ikutsuki and smiled at Fuuka "Call me Minato." Why did he give her the permission so quickly why didn't he give me...Argh away you thoughts Minato and I are just friends nothing more than that...and it was there again like something ripping my heart what's happening to me.

"Alright Minato-kun" Fuuka smiled brightly for the first time she came here.

"Alright Yamagishi" Mitsuru-senpai said catching her attention "We would like you to join our group" The way she said that no one could say no is she pressing her to join? that isn't fair.

"I think you'll make a good addition to the team too" Akihiko-senpai said is he like that too?

"Yeah come join us" Stupei grinned.

She looked at Minato-kun who smiled "Its totally upto you" hearing this she quickly said "Alright I'll help you guys" Wait?

"Are you sure? you have to live here" She didn't even have an option.

"Its ok I rather live here than at home anyway" She said with a look of sadness and Minato-kun's eyes flashed sympathy.

"We really apperciate this we will talk to your parents to resolve any issues" Mitsuru said.

"Wait don't you think we dragged here into this" I had to say this but Fuuka spoke up "Its ok really I want to help you people" she said I sighed alright if that what she wants.

"Looks like your wish has been granted senpai a support persona user "Minato smiled at senpai who chuckled "Yes I can finally join you at tartatus althought I haven't praticed but I will soon return to my prior form" Minato-kun smirked.

"Actually I'm worried about you" he said and senpai fummed I could feel the temperature drop a few celcius why did he do?

"You'll see Arisato EXECUTION" she yelled the last word and threw a bufu spell at Minato-kun who caught it molded it to a flower and handed it to Fuuka who turned scarlet red.

He smirked "Chill out senpai good to have you on the team" he gave her a pat on the back and went upstairs. I saw senpai's mouth curl into a small smile she chuckled "Arisato...he sure knows how to lighten up." I looked at Fuuka who was still scarlet holding on the ice flower. A bit of jeously rose in me but I discarded it away.

"We'll go to taratrus tomorrow" Minato-kun came back downstairs wearing a sleeveless tshirt and had the word "EMPTY" written on it. What does that mean?

"Very well tomorrow it is then" Senpai agreed.

"Dude nice muscles" Stupei said and he winked at me.I'll beat the crap out of him Minato saw the wink and turned to him and a long silence...

"...Stupid" he said and went word became a catchphrase of Minato-kun I could hear Fuuka giggle behind me.

"All the suspence for th-YEOW" he yelled as I stomped his foot "That's for the stupid ghost drama last night" I glared at him and went upstairs I walked up the stairs and stopped at seeing Minato-kun getting a drink he had his headphones on and back turned so he didn't notice me...Why would he ever notice someone like me? Whats happening to me. Tears started to spill from my eyes...why is this happening? There is no way I could l-l-like the him no thats not it I ran towards my room shut the door close and started crying...That sudden realization felt like someone stabbed a dagger into my heart.I clutched the photo of my dad to my chest I always did that when I was sad it helped a bit but not this time tears continued to spill.

"Why would he ever notice me?" I crashed into my bed trying my dammest to sleep and be through with the night.

Minato POV

What the hell did I just saw...Yukari ran upto the stairs and from the looks of it was she...crying? No way I can stand here doing nothing.I walked up the stairs and knocked on her door no answer I knocked again "Its me Minato are you alright?" I said as I knocked again no answer...what happened to her? She must have fallen asleep I sighed I hope she'll be okay. I walked into my room and crashed on the bed "I hope she'll be okay."

Normal POV

Everyone arrived back at the dorm early since the new support persona user would be joinning them they all went into Taratus and this would the most difficult operation till now.

"Alright the team will be Mitsuru Akihiko Yukari" We had to take four members or the terminal wouldn't work apparentely only four people could use it at a time.

"Alright I'll help you with the best of my ability just tell me whenever you require assisstance" Fuuka told them and Minato nodded and ordered him team to enter the dammed tower.

The exploration was going perfectly until...

"I don't sense any shadows here" Fuuka told everyone "But something is strange be on your guard everyone" She cautioned them.

"Woah there's cash here and a buttload of them" Junpei yelled as he found some cash.

"No shadows?" That's reallly strange" Minato said and Mitsuru replied "I agree but whats the worst that could happne lets take our time exploring this floor we might find something usefull" Mintao nodded and they walked slowly exploring the floor taking there time until they could hear Fuuka gasp.

"What's wrong?" Minato asked her.

"S-Something's strange here some extraordinary powerfull is here you have-" here sentence was cutshot as a gunshot rang through out the empty floor catching the attention of each SEES member that sound came from behind them...they all quickly turned and saw something...horrible.

A large creature wearing a brown coat that was covered in blood two chains intersected each other at it's chest creating a largeX it wielded two huge revolvers and had no face where it was supposed to be was covered in bandages with a lone yellow eye watching the SEES members. This was DEATH!

"GET OUT OF THERE THIS IS TOO POWERFULL" Fuuka yelled.

Seeing this Mitsuru and Akihiko paled both thinking the same thing "Its here again".Yukari in fear collapsed on her knees shaking uncontroablly but Minato had kept a clear head.

He slowly walked closer to Yukari the creature was watching him move but not doing anything he picked her up into his arms bridal style and backed away standing beside his senpai's "Is this the thing you told me about" he asked,his voice a whisper Mitsuru replied in a weak voice "Y-Yes this is the most powerfull shadow in tartarus we call it the reaper."

"In 3 seconds run like hell for your life...Yukari are there?" he asked the brunette and he felt her nod weakly on his chest..

"3...2...1 RUN!" he screamed and run carrying Yukari with his team reaper didn't waste anything he let out a sadistic laugh raisng his revolver and firing it casting a Magarudyne at the group.

"WATCH OUT EVERYONE" In a split second Minato summoned a card and crushed it summong Anibus the jackal headed persona muttered something casting a Makarakarn on the party the wind spell deflected hitting the extremely powerfull shadow but it barely did any damage and only made him back away.

They ran through the floor with the reaper in pursuit occasionally firing some bullets which Minato deflected with spells and dodged them he ran at the end since he was carrying casted a Masukukaja on the entire party making them run faster.

"FUUKA WHERE IS THE TERMINAL?" He yelled and Fuuka answered after a brief pause "Its not the north east end of the floor not too far from here keep moving the same direction and take a turn to the left."

"Roger."

The all arrived at the terminal Mitsuru and Akihiko going in Minato tried to go in but a huge bullet came his way he had to move or both of them would die he quickly moved to the left and the almost baseball sized bullet hit the terminal breaking it there only chance of escape was gone.

Even though the reaper had to mouth it let out another sadistic laugh "THOU CANNOT ESCAPE DEATH" he yelled in a demonic voice causing Yukari to shake again.

Minato slowly whispered something to Yukari and put her down she stood on her own feet but was still shaking she could feel deathly aura coming from the considered his options "Using that is out the question the area is small and Yukari could get killed...Dammit I have to fight but I don't think this prick has a weakness."Minato looked the reaper in the eye and gave out a devilish smirk.

"Let's dance" he whispered.

"M-Minato-kun?"

"Come forth Thanatos" Minato yelled and the persona appeared at once and charged at the reaper grabbing it by its almost torn cloth and smashing into a nearby wall Thanatos disappeared and Minato took hold of Yukari's wrist and dragged her out of the corner if he had to fight he needed space but Minato made a mental note to protect the fragile girl at all costs.

The reaper got up showing no damage done by being smashed into the wall "Thou art interesting but thou shall perish" he raised his revoler into the air and summoned a fireball hurling it towards the teenagers Minato switched to Apollo and deflected it away easily. "You are mistaken if you think I'll die this easily." he glared at the reaper signaling that he was ready for a fight.

"We have to help him" Junpei and Akihiko yelled.

"Yes we could provide some assisstance" Mitsuru agreed with them they were about to go into the terminal untill they heard his voice "Don't come here" Minato warned them.

"Arisato this is a dangerous situation the reaper is powerful you need help" Mitsuru said.

"I can take him down...if I fight smartly but having you all there makes me more vulnerable so STAY THERE YOU IDIOTS" He yelled ending any possibility that anyone could come he would have his hands full protecting Yukari from the titanic battle that was about to take place.

Minato raised his arms and a bright light engulfed his hand and took the form of a large light materlized and Minato's hand was holding a huge sword almost the size of the reaper's revolver it was the sword of the angle Micheal.

He charged at the creature casting a sukukaja to increase his pace,he jumped into the air and tried to cleave the shadow but it raised one of its revolver blocking the sword another one came from the side but Minato caught it with his hands he used the reaper's body as a wall kicking it in the chest and then doing a backflip moving away from the reaper who fired a Agidyne at the teenager blasting him the attack caused Minato to loose his balance for a few moment but regained it and landed on his feet a part of his shirt was burnt but he showed no sign of pain "That was weak you call yourself death?" he mocked the reaper and this angered the creature and this time it charged at the bluenette.

"Just bring it"

The reaper tried to hit Minato with his revolver but he dodged to the left and came behind the reaper kicking it in the back and casting a Bufudyne that sent the reaper crash into another yelled "Yukari keep caution get far away as possible RUN! he yelled and Yukari obeyed his orders and ran but the brief moment provided the reaper with the chance he blasted Minato with thunder making him scream in agony.

Minato shook his head and saw the reaper taking off in Yukari's directin...his eyes widened and then ran towards it casting another sukukaja to enhance his came infront of the reaper "Your fight is with me...you have to get over my dead body if you want her" he sounded firm Yukari heard this and her heart raced.

"Thou shall perish first then" he spoke in the same demonic voice it created a orb of thunder and threw it at Minato who switched to Odin and absorbed the attack but the reaper was near him in a second hitting him in the gut with the hilt of his revolver causing Minato to drop to a reaper tried to hit him in the head but this time Minato blocked it with his sword and summoned a shortshort in the other hand and drove it into the creature's chest who let out a horrific scream the sword still in the monster's chest Minato kicked it farther in which caused another scream he then charged his hands with a Megidola hitting the reaper in the same spot the attack caused it to fly backwards but this time it regained balance before it could crash into another wall.

"Thou is strong I haven't been hurt in quite a while but you will regret this foolish boy"

"I told you bring it bitch" he taunted the reaper again who fired his revolver but this time a purple ball of energy formed in the air and exploded hitting Minato who flew backwards and slammed against a wall.

"Dammit that hurt" he coughed his eyes darted towards something pink and Yukari was there still standing horrified at the sheer power of the two fighters.

"Dammit girl I told you to run" The reaper turned towards Yukari and this time fired a Megido this was an almighty attack so nothing would void it and it could surely kill Yukari in a blast but Minato will not let her die he drew his evoker and shot himself summoning Vishnu and the multi headed serphent Ananta.

"Infinity"

Yukari could feel her death coming closer she closed her eyes but nothing opened them to see a faintly visible barrier infront of her.

Minato wasted no time he crushed a card and summoned Metatron the angle raised his arms and a golden fist came slamming into the reaper who dropped down but quickly got back up and hit Metatron in the chest with a bullet and Minato felt the pain he clutched his chest and backed away before another bullet came his way intended to blast his face he dodged a the last second the bullet hit his cheek causing blood to spill. He gritted his teeth he got a few shots but the fight wasen't coming to an end.

The reaper blasted Minato with a Agidyne making him smash against the wall he shook his head to drive the pain away his shirt was almost fully burnt so he removed it revelaing his black sleevess shirt with the words chest was full of bruises but the bluenette paid no heed and charged again at the shadow.

He slashed the reaper's arm causing it to scream and drop one of the revolvers Minato picked it up and fired it targating the bullet cut through the cloth and hit the creature's shoulder but the reaper made his other revolver swing to the side hitting Minato in the ribs and Minato could feel some of his ribs being broken.

The reaper tried to go for another hit but this time Minato dodged charged a Agidyne into his fist and slammed into the same spot that he stabbed with the reaper gave the loudest scream yet as black blood spilled he staggered back but casted a mind charged Garudyne at the bluenette who put his arm up at the last second shielding his face from viscious winds that could tear it apart his arms took the burnt of the attack severely damaging them and making blood leak out of his many wounds.

Minato screamed this time and summoned two cards,crushing them he performed the fusion spell Thunder Call shocking the reaper aswell as damaging him Minato summoned Thanatos again and hit the reaper with brave blade and the attack hit and the reaper was seriously hurt.

It staggered again for a few seconds and Minato smirked "That's all?" he said as he wiped the blood of his cheek reaper looked at him in the eye and raised his single revolver again "No boy this is the end FOR YOU" he shot the revolver and Minato looked up to see three balls of purple energy forming in the sky it was the almight attack Megidolaoan but he was ready for it he summoned Helel readying himself for a morning star.

"NO THIS IS YOUR END" He screamed "MORNING STAR"

This time the the light energy didn't came down from the sky but formed into a ball infront of launched it at the three purple energy balls after a few brief moments there was a huge explosion and both of the fighters were down and Minato's sword was at the feet of Yukari.

Minato tried to get up but his injuries were taking its toll on him he got up on one knee but the reaper didn't move but he knew it that thing was still alive.

"Yukari take my sword and finish him" He commanded Yukari looked utterly scared and didn't respond.

"Do it the reaper is barely alive take my sword and kill" He ordered again but no respone.

"DAMMIT GIRL DO IT" He screamed this time and Yukari slowly...very slowly picked up his sword and nerveously walked towards the still down reaper she looked at it for a few moments before raising the sword.

The lone yellow eye of the reaper shot up looking Yukari dead in the eyes.

Yukari POV

I looked at where the reaper used to be but now there was someone else...someone very close to my heart my dad...he looked hurt and my heart felt like it was stabbed.

"What are you doing?" Minato yelled but I ignored him.

"Yu...ka..ri my daughter help your dad" he said in a weak voice I didn't waste a second and raised my evoker to my temple...I will help my dad but didn't he die...?

"Dammit what the hell is wrong with you?" Minato yelled again I looked at him and then back at my dad I made my desision and shot myself summoning IO and healing my beloved father who stood up smiling at me.

"Thank you Yukari now daddy will give you THE DELIVERENCE " His voice turned demonic and he pushed me away with a wind spell...did he just hit me?

I saw my dad morph back into the reaper was I...tricked? I lost whatever the will I had to stand up the reaper had his whole strength restored now and it was because of me and my weak pathetic reaper raised his gun one more time and I just braced myself.

Normal POV

Minato saw Yukari on her knees infront of the reaper who looked ready to attack her...his whole body acked but he will not someone else die here by using all his strength he ran towards and and pushed Yukari out of the way "Not a chance" he said pushing her away but taking the Bufudyne himself.

The attack really hurt and it was worse since he still have Helel equipped he was thrown a good distance away but the reaper got the opening and blasted Minato with a Megidolaon at point blank.

The attack caused him to slam against the wall and this time it gave away and Minato was under the pile of debris the reaper and Yukari looked at the debris for a second Yukari's eyes were starting to get wet but the debris moved and Minato came out but looking barely alive his injuries had multiplied the gash of his cheek was bigger,his shoulder looked out of place his shirt was half torn and from the looks of his face he suffured a concussion.

He looked at the reaper and it showed double "D-D-Dammit" he cursed causing the reaper to laugh he was fully restored now.

Minato looked around to see anything to help his body was a wreck...he looked to the left and saw another terminal his mind had a plan but it would require doubled speed,strength and defense and he had just the groggily shot himself.

"Best friends"

A rainbow coloured glow engulfed Minato and he felt his strength and speed double this would only last for a few seconds so he ran towards them punched reaper in the chest making him back away he quickly grabbed Yukari by her arm and threw her towards the terminal...and she was gone.

She landed on the ground floor to see the relieved faces of every team mate but she quickly got and tried to head for the terminal again to be stopped by Fuuka.

"Wait Yukari-chan Minato-kun has a plan" Fuuka said and they all looked at her.

The reaper laughed again "Can thou beat me with a broken body?" he laughed somemore but Minato continued to smile.

"Its over" he whispered.

He summoned two cards and crushed them the summoning nearly knocked him on his staggered back and beside him were two persona' angle Helel and the monstrous demonic Satan he smirked "I told you its over"

"ARMAGEDDON"

The two persona's dissappeared and the whole floor began to shake the reaper looked confused the shaking grew more and more untill Minato yelled.

"NOW" The ground erupted with a blue-ish flame engulfing the reaper making it scream again the flames grew larger and larger untill it hit the roof making the reaper let out a last demonic scream and was a flash of light and the flames vanished.

Minato looked around the whole place was shattered he was glad he didn't use it when Yukari was here the fatigue took over him and he collapsed to one knee and started panting that fight took alot out of him he stood up and tried his dammest not to fall when he walked into the terminal.

Minato POV

I had the battle of my life there and there was a time when I thought it was all over but I'm glad I won.I walked into the terminal into the ground floor to see relieved and impressed faces of my team mates I walked forward but was tackled by something already exhausted I lost my balance and fell to the ground that someone was Yukari she was hugging me I was already exhausted so I was gonna tell her to give me space but then I felt something wet hit my chest and she clutched me tighter.

"I'm sooo s-sorry you almost d-d-died because of m-me" she sobbed and kept hugging me but now I didn't want her to let go "I'm sorry I know I'm p-pathetic you c-can hate m-me if you want I deserve it"The same warmth engulfed me I lifted her head with my hand and wiped her tears away.

"No I don't hate you at all...I'm glad you are ok I finally got to save someone and" I leaned in closer "I'll do it again for you" hearing this she blushed and smiled widely at me. "Thank you Minato-k-kun I promise I wont be weak again" I smiled at her "I know you will" I turned towards my team member not in the mood for the talking I told them to quickly get out of here since the dark hour was almost over.

Yukari POV

I was seated in the monorail and beside me was Minato-kun who looked like he was sleeping his head fell onto my shoulder. I looked at him his body was full of cuts,bruises and a huge gash on his cheek. I took his by the shoulders and rested his head on my lap I didn't care if Junpei saw that he saved my life I would do anything for him. Maybe and just maybe I might like him...ONLY MAYBE!
