DF : Thank you everyone's fav robo girl is coming in the next chapter.
Akihiko POV
I was walking towards the back of port island I never usually went there the scums over there piss me off but today I was going to meet my best friend Shinjiro Aragaki.I still wanted him back on the team we grew up together and went through so much and it makes me angry that he left the team so soon even for a mistake that was not his.I saw his standing away from the crowd I chuckled inside typical Shinji.
He saw me walking towards him and without looking he said "If your trying to convince me to come back it ain't happening." I smiled abit at my best friend "No I just wanted to see how you were doing." That took him off guard a bit "Its been years you,me and Miki we used to have so much fun...seemed like we had all the time in the world." I remembered the memories but felt a stab about my dead sister I couldn't save from that blasted fire.
"It you want to get sappy go do it with your other friends" He kinda spat making me mad "What was that?" I hissed and he answered not at all intimidated "You usually just charge ahead like a damn fool so there is something on your mind." I sighed
"I do think about it...anyway we finally know how to get rid of tartarus and the dark hour." I told him and he seemed surprised "No shit?" I nodded "Yesterday something made me question my reason for fighting." He gave a grunt "That's different for everybody if you don't have one you can quit like I did."
"I'm not like you man I can't believe I'm the one getting lectured here." I smiled a bit "Alright Shinji see you around." I turned around and walked and heard Shinji yell "Keep your diet straight lay off ramen." I chuckled.
Junpei POV
Man the movie sucked ass...why did I even come here? I remembered the talk we had nights ago so tartarus and the dark hour will be gone? thats good thats what we have been fighting for but why am I so pissed?
"I know why." I said to myself "It's because of HIM the blue jerk." I thought I was good at fighting but man he is on a completely different level...I remembered how he made me trash on the ground with a single fucking knee.
"Dammit Yuka-tan said the same thing he is better than me in everything." I heard two girls walking by talking about the blue jerk.
"So got your eye on someone?" A girl with red hair asked her friend who gave a sigh "Minato-senpai" The other girl gave out a chuckle "Not suprised every girl wants him maybe more than Sanada-senpai" Oh great hearing that makes me a whole lot better.
I have been here for like years and he has been here for only 2 damn months and he became one the most popular students so...quickly I stomped the ground in anger,is better than me in everything looks,academics,style,dealing with people hell he has even got Yuka-tan all over him. Stupid Minato...Stupid old man.
Fuuka POV
I was working on my laptop until I heard someone knock the door "It's me." That sounded like Mitsuru senpai I quickly answered "Please come in." The door opened and in came senpai wearing a sleeveless white shirt and black pants I couldn't help but admire her senpai is so beautiful.
"Not only you excel at providing support but also at gaining information." I fidgeted a bit "I-I'm sorry for doing that without your permission." She smiled "Don't worry your not in trouble but I do have a favor to ask I want you to find out as much as possible about that accident." That might be hard "But very little was made public." She smiled again "Thats why I want you to access the Kirijo group database I'll give you my ID and password." Thats good I won't have to hack it.
"Yamagishi don't you resent me? After all my good intentions I did drag you into this without fully explaining." She looked sorry I quickly answered "No...you see my parents have an inferiority complex since all my relatives are doctors thats why they are so tough on me...but here I can help people out so I don't resent you even abit." I smiled weakly and senpai chuckled "Yes no one can take your place thank you I'll see you later." She left and I was flushing from the compliments.
Yukari POV
I was holding a memory of my dad...a letter he wrote about ten years ago. I had read it a thousand times but holding it made me a little relaxed.I let out a sigh "Seems like my worst fears keep coming true...am I stupid to believe in things like trust and friendship...and I a complete idiot trying to find myself a boyfriend? Only to get my heart broken in the end? I read through the letter again "Are you still bright eyed about the future?" That word made me regain my confidence "I wont run away...I wont be like mom." I heard someone knock the door "Yes come in" The knocking stopped and the door slammed open and I know the only one persona who would do that. Minato-kun.
He was wearing blue jeans and a black t-shirt his headphones lying on his neck but the most different thing about him that he had pinned his bangs to the side revealing his other silver eye...he looked cu- nothing.
I gave out a sigh "Why did you have to slam the door?" He chuckled "I wanted to do something dramatic." Heh "So is there anything I can help you?" I asked and he held up a book "You told me to help you study remeber?" He asked and that hit me "Oh yes I do what about over here?" I asked pointing to the table and he shook his head "Senpai will have my behind if I stay here I'll be on the second floor." He waved and walked out of my room watching him go I felt my confidence grow maybe if I'm lucky I might find something as half as good as HIM.
Normal POV
It was time for exams and Minato was prepared this time he was sure he could easily top the highest in the homeroom he was actually greeted by Junpei who had sweat dripping his forehead he didn't pay much attention to him after a nod he went to the homeroom.
Day1...aced
2...aced
3...aced
4...aced
5...ACED
Minato relaxed in his seat as the teacher took away the answer sighed "Finally freedom" He muttered and Yukari asked "How'd you do?" Minato shrugged "Not bad" She turned to Junpei "What about you Junpei?"
Junpei grinned "I aced P.E" and Yukari rolled her eyes "That answer the questions quite nicely" Junpei waved his arms "A real man doesn't dwell on the past I'm thinking to head to Yakushima." That hit Yukari "Oh that coming up soon are you ready?" She asked Minato who shook his head." Minato shook his head causing Yukari to giggle "If it makes you feel any better I'm not ready either I guess I should be more enthusiastic huh?" Minato curtly nodded listening to his mp3 which Yukari again popped off.
"I don't have practice today so you wanna do something?" Minato put a finger under his chin "I guess..I don't have practice today either." Yukari seemed excited about this "Alright lets go to Karaoke." She cheered "I'll invite Fuuka too." She left the homeroom leaving Minato and Junpei alone there was an awkward silence between them.
"Umm...hey." Junpei spoke first and Minato looked at him "I know I have been kind of a dick lately but we're still cool right?" He pleaded more than asked and Minato smiled a bit at him "Don't worry about it." Junpei perked up and swung his arm around Minato "Thanks dude but thats all history its you and me now bro...LETS GO."
They both walked out of the homeroom chatting about stuff meeting up with Yukari and Fuuka and then running into Akihiko.
"Freedom at last." Junpei yelled "Hey what are you doing here Akihiko-san?"
"Ikutsuki-san called me he wants to talk about a new candidate maybe we'll get a new member very soon."
"A new member any idea?" Minato asked and Akhiko shook his head "No but there is going to be a boxing tournament during the break you better kick ass over there." The captain commanded and Minato saluted him causing the other to snicker.
"Hey Fuuka." A voice called out to the teal haired girl who turned to see Natsuki coming over "Oh Natsuki-chan can I help you?"
"I need some help with my homework but I see your busy with your dorm friends "She looked at them and winked at Minato and Yukari stepped closer to him protectively.
"No problem I'll help you lets go." She turned to SEES "Sorry I'll see you later back at the dorm."
"Ah adolescence so full of vibrancy." Ikutsuki said and all teenagers turned to him expect Minato was listening to his mp3 and Yukari again popped it out
"The hell?" He hissed but Yukari hushed him "Its about the candidate."
"Music hating woman." Minato muttered and the pink clad girl heard this stomping his foot "I love music."
"You act like you don't." He retorted back.
"I DO." She yelled and all eyes were on them but they didn't notice still continued on arguing.
"Na-ah."
"Stop it." Yukari hissed.
"You started it." Minato hissed back.
"Well you end it." She put her hands on her hips.
"I always get the last laugh" Minato crossed his arms.
"I'll rip your bangs out." Yukari threatened.
"I'd like to see you try." Minato said looking unimpressed.
"That's it" Yukari grabbed Minato's collar "Last time you sa-"
"Ahem Ahem." The two stopped arguing and turned to the rest of SEES members who were holding there laughter.
"Could you have your couple fights somewhere else." Junpei smiled hearing this they both backed out with Yukari blushing red.
"Brunette started it." Minato crossed his arms.
"No blue started it" Yukari yelled again and another fight was almost close but the entrance of Ken Amada stopped it.
"Hello." Seeing the kid Akihiko's eye widen "Is he the new candidate?" He whispered to Ikutsuki who nodded "Yes he has enough potential."
Akihiko was horrified but Ken looked upto him "Are you Sanada-senpai?" He asked his brown eyes sparkling withe excitement.
"Yeah" He answered a bit stiffly and Ken smiled "I've heard alot about you its a real honor to meet you." Akihiko hesitated for a bit and answered back "Same here."
They all went to karaoke and then returned to the dorm starting packing for the trip next day.
Minato woke up at 8 o clock the summer break began and today they were heading to Yakushima for 3,he ran through his items to check he had everything that was needed.
They all were taken to the ferry by Mitsuru's limo they boarded the ferry passing through countless islands but the atmosphere was still heavy between Yukari and sighed he never liked cracks in the team.
They arrived at the Kirijo vacation home during the afternoon with the boys carrying all the bags.
"Wow." Fuuka said in awe looking at the huge mansion.
"It looks like we're in an episode of the lifestyle of the rich and fabulous." Junpei was awe struck.
Two maids walked towards the group and bowed to Mitsuru "Welcome back milday."
"We won't be here long but I'll be relying on you during our stay."
"Dude real life maids." Junpei whispered to Minato who rolled his eyes.
The maids took the luggage and went in as soon as they left two men walked out of was a tanned man wearing a bussiness suit and an eye patch while the other was had white hair and a beard wearing a bussiness suit although no tie.
Minato grinned at the white haired man "Yo gramps." Shirogane turned towards the blue haired fool "Ah Minato good to see you here lad what are you doing here?" His expression turned serious and Minato sweat dropped "Ummm...on a vacation." The other man with the eye patch walked without saying a word but the group founded out that he was Mitsuru's father.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He took a step forward and Minato stepped back "I tried to but..."
"But what?"
"You don't have a cell phone old man and you change Ids regularly." He shot back
"You could have called my assistant." Shirogane retorted and Minato made a sour face "She flirts with me more than doing work." Hearing this made Yukari already develop a hatred for the assisstant.
Shirogane turned towards the other teenagers "Who are they?" He asked Minato "Oh these are my friends redhead,brunette,silverette,goatee and Fuuka." he introduced them and they all looked shocked.
The old man chuckled "I see have fun young man tell me if you need anything." He ruffled Minato's hair and walked away "Bye gramps."
"Ahem that was a pretty interesting introduction." Mitsuru said crossing her arms.
"No need to thank me." Minato raised his arms and Mitsuru chuckled as did the rest of them.
"Anyway anyone wanna head to the beach its right there." Junpei was excited.
Yukari sighed "Already?" She looked around and Fuuka looked excited "Sure but let me get changed first." Yukari said and along with the girl she walked away.
...
Minato headed to the beach wearing black trunks with a dragon tattoo on it he left his mp3 player at the vacation home and regretted saw Junpei and Akihiko waiting for him...well only Akihiko,Junpei was waiting for somebody else.
"Yo Minato over here." Junpei yelled at Minato walked towards them he was glad that the beach was almost empty.
"Woah nice rips." Junpei complemented "How did you develop a body like that?" Minato shrugged "Fighting against shadows for almost a decade that surely gives you muscles." He looked at Junpei wearing orange trunks and his trusted hat he then looked at Akihiko who was wearing a white tshirt and speedos.
"Dammit speedos?" Minato asked and Akihiko nodded "Yeah they are better for swimming." He answered simply "Anything wrong?"
"No just don't take off the shirt dammit." Minato advised him while smacking his hand to his forehead "What will the girls thinks?" He thought to himself.
"He has no idea." Junpei whispered to Minato.
"None." Minato replied.
"OH HERE THEY COME." Junpei yelled at Minato turned to see Yukari walking towards was wearing a pink bikini top and blue shorts and sunglasses on her head she left her heart choker at the vacation house and this was the first time Minato saw her neck expect for the full looked at her and felt his face go hot "Dammit Minato keep your hormones in control." He mentally slaped himself he felt someone nudge him "She looks great ain't she? hehehe."
Yukari had a faint blush on her face and she looked at Minato who looked away. "Dammit look at me." Yukari thought and Junpei held up a sunscreen bottle as a microphone "Here comes contestant number one Yukari Takeba she has chosen quite a bold design it takes alot of confidence to pull of a swinsuit like that."
"S-Shut up stupei." She yelled and looked at the leader who was still looking away,Fuuka came from behind wearing a teal colour two piece swimsuit.
"Oh here we have lovely miss Yamagishi Wow Fuuka you should really wear a swimsuit more often." Fuuka turned red and let out a small scream running behind Yukari."Stop that you creepy perv." Yukari yelled at Junpei who ignored her looking at the redhead making her way wearing a elegant white bikini with a flower on her left breast.
Akihiko turned red and quickly added "I-I'm going for a s-s-wim." He ran and dived into the water Minato saw this and chuckled "Mission get the two senpai's together."
"Hey Akihik-san wait for me." Junpei dived into the water "Ufff...its cold."
Minato was just standing there untill he saw Yukari walking towards him he gulped and looked her way "Dammit I never noticed how hot she looks." he said to himself
"Hey Minato-kun lets go for a swim." She asked shyly and Minato shook her head "I can't." Yukari tilted her head in confusion "Why?" She asked and Minato weakly replied "I can't swim." Yukari gave a snort of laughter and turned into hysterical laughter and Minato looked at her annoyed "What's so funny?"
"Nothing I'll teach you come on" She grabbed his wrist and dragged him into the sea Minato gulped and went along with her hoping he wouldn't get drowned.
"NO I CAN'T." Minato yelled pushing Junpei out the way and running onto the beach.
"Come on leader." Junpei dared him to come and Minato yelled back "Go to hell." He turned around and saw Mitsuru watching the others with a amused expression.
"This place is nice isn't it?" She asked and Minato nodded "Yeah pretty good the beach is almost empty." He looked around spotting no one else.
"I have something to tell." She said with a serious tone and Minato looked her way "Tell everyone come to the lounge at 8:00 my father has something important to tell."
"What is it?" He asked and Mitsuru sighed "Even I don't know we'll have to wait and find out."
After spending the entire day playing at the beach they had dinner and went to the lounge where Mitsuru and her father were present.
"From what I understand, Mitsuru has already given you the short version." Takeharu Kirijo asked and they all nodded he released a sigh "Its true we adults are to blame if I had to atone for it with my life I would have done so but now I have to choice to rely on you...what my father wanted to create was a time manipulation device."
"Wicked" Minato said.
"Thats insane." Junpei added.
Takeharu continued "However, under my father's direction, the research began to stray from its original goal...In his later years, my father seemed to have only nihilism in his that I think about it, his madness may have resulted from his struggle to break free from that...It's only natural that you want to know the truth... and it's my duty to tell you." He clicked a button on the remote and the room darkened the monitor on the wall started glowing.
"What's this?" Minato asked
"This is the only existing footage of the incident." He replied
There were a couple of bangs there was no video only static but one could hear a voice that sounded almost broken.
"I pray this recording reaches safe hands." Hearing the voice Yukari stood up her heart racing wildly.
The voice grew prominent enough of the group to hear it "My employer has become obsessed with a loathsome experiment should have never even been conceived...I'm afraid what I've done will result in an unprecedented disaster...But if I hadn't, the entire world may have paid the price...
Please, listen carefully...The Shadows that were amassed here have been dispersed as a resultof the end this nightmare, you must eliminate all of them!I am to blame for this.I knew the risks, but I was blinded by the promise of success... And so, I didn't raise any objections...It is all my fault..." There was a man visible on the screen for a barely a second another huge bang was heard and the recording ended.
Yukari was breathing heavily her cheeks wet from the constant tears,seeing her made Minato's heart wrench painfully "Dammit no" He cursed looking at Yukari.
"So my dad caused it all?" She glared at Mitsuru who had nothing to say "Tartarus and the dark hour?" She raised her voice "So thats why you were hiding this because you felt sorry for me is that it?" She yelled "I DONT WANT YOUR PITY" She ran out of the room and Mitsuru called out "T-Takeba" But she didn't stop and kept running.
"Shouldn't someone go after her?" Fuuka asked and Mitsuru looked directly at Minato "Arisato go after her" Minato stood up and nodded.
"Thank you" Minato ran out of the room praying to God that Yukari is alright.
Yukari POV
No...my dad caused it all the deaths of all those people tartarus and the dark hour? I felt shattered the only reason to live was to believe in my dad he could never do anything wrong...but he did the biggest sin of all...I tried to wipe the tears but more kept coming.
I heard someone coming from behind I looked from the corner from my eye to see Minato-kun walking towards me I kept facing the sea he stopped a few yards away from me not saying anything untill I spoke.
"Remember what I told how my dad died when I was little?" My heart wrenched at the mention of my dad "You understand now right? he died in the incident...because he was incharge of the team people were really mean to and my mom we even had to move a few times."
"I see..." Was all that he could say.
"... all this time, I kept telling myself it wasn't his fault.I loved him a lot, and I believed he'd never do anything wrong.I received a letter back in the spring. It was from him, written ten years ago...It cracked me up cuz, even though it said, "To my family," it was pretty much all about only made me believe in him more...When I found out I had a special power, I thought it was fate.I was scared, but I thought if I cooperated with the Kirijo Group,I might find out what really 's why I agreed to fight using my , it turns out... all of that was for nothing..."
"Thats...not true." He said with a weak voice.
I laughed lightly "Your just trying to make me feel better...why does reality have to be so harsh...I t-tried to hard to fight my fear and this is what I get maybe I'm just jealous of Mitsuru senpai...I mean why my father and not hers...I am a horrible persona aren't I?"
He took a step forward to me I turned around to see face him "No your not..." I felt something snap in me is he trying...to pity me?
I looked at him in anger pushing him away hard...he stumbled back and I yelled at him "Stop acting like you have all the answers YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT A THING WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH" I yelled at him but for the first time he just stood there looking at me "I'm not like you I ain't powerful enough I can't even defend myself properly I told you I can put the past behind me like you did." I again felt tears coming down my cheeks but still I didn't stop "Nothing ever fazes you now does it?"
"I am...here for...you." He replied
"NO YOUR NOT" I screamed and he winced "You should stay as far away as possible...What happened to you it is all because of my DAD." He looked puzzled "W-What do you mean?" I looked at him angry "My dad set the shadows free right? The shadow that hit your car during the accident." I cried some more telling him the horrible truth "You should hate me or better yet bust out some of your powerful persona and kill me right now." I continued crying closing my eyes,Minato's parents died because of my dad's fault he led a horrible life all...because of my dad." I felt him rasie his arm thinking he was about to slap me but I felt his arms around my shoulders...and he pulled me into...a hug?
"I don't hate you at all..." He said I looked upto him his eyes showed great pain but inspite of that he was still... wiped my tears away "No way I could hate my best friend." He smiled at me and I returned the hug "T-Thank you...Minato-kun...thank you for everything.." I clutched him harder "You have...always been there for me...saving me and helping me even defending me while I couldn't do a thing...but I'm scared I don't know what to do anymore...I'm totally lost...help me please...what should I do?" I asked.
"...Believe in your dad." He answered "Something good will come...just keep believing." I looked upto him...I can't lose hope not for my dad.
"And dont feel scared...I'll protect you no matter what." He said in a quiet voice and I buried my face into his shoulder crying even harder he patted my back "Its all right." He kept saying I always felt Minato-kun was special I was only hiding from the fact I liked him...no I can't lie to myself anymore...I l-love him.
"Minato-kun I..." I stammered and he encouraged me "Yeah come on you can tell me."
"I...love you.." I finally said it.I didn't care if he rejected me but I had to say it.
I felt his body tense abit and my heart might have stopped for a while..."Why?" He asked "Is it only...because of my looks?"
"No...something about you makes my heart flutter,its not because you look good...you just seem perfect you have your problems but you still pull everyone else through there's...I liked you since you saved me at the roof..."I clutched him more tighter not wanting him to let go "It's ok if you don't love me in return but I just couldn't hide it any...longer."
"I-I-I" He stammered almost giving me a heart attack "I l-love you too" He finished that sentence and suddenly all the grief I felt moments ago was gone and it was replaced by happiness,my heart skipped a beat and I cried again but this time of joy...what was sure to be the worst night of my life turned out to be the happiest.
"I'm sorry for yelling at you...and pushing you Minato-kun." I said weakly and he chuckled.
"You can drop the -kun now and no problem I'm glad to see you feeling better." He smiled.
"Thank you Minato." I smiled back the tears of joy still streaming down my face.I looked to see him again and then I realized how much cute he looks...those beautiful silver orbs staring into my soul,the smooth blue bangs and his lips...
I rose up a bit from his shoulder and looked into his eyes I edged closer to his face untill my and his face were inches away...he looked red I giggled and then inched my face closer to his...our lips were almost touching I wanted to do this...afterall he is my boyfriend now.
I heard someone yell "Hey" I sighed inside that sounded like stupei hearing the voice Minato looked at me "J-Junpei is almost here we should l-let go."
"Screw em" I quickly said and put my lips onto his,he seem shocked for a few seconds but he shook it away and returned the kiss.
The kiss was passionate and yet it was gentle and loving I wrapped my arms around his neck and he pulled me closer by the waist.I didn't care Junpei was there looking at us with his jaw dropping to the sand...I didn't care that the blasted hour was about to hit any second now...no I didn't care at I did care was about that I was kissing Minato the love of my life...his mouth tasted like blueberry I loved it.
We broke the kiss and safe to say we both were blushing hard he had a embarrassed smile on his lips while I was still thinking about the kiss we didn't say a word but stupei added right in.
"L-Lucky dog." He said with his mouth wide open.I stomped his foot "Wipe that drool off you pervert."
"O-Ouch..." He yelled but discarded the pain and grinned darting to Minato "How did it go?" He asked with a perverted smile and then Minato stomped his other foot causing me to giggle.
"None of you bussiness." He hissed and Junpei winced "Alright hot head and hot head you do make a good combination." Argh this was perfect was did stupei had to come in?
"Anyway I wanted to tell ya the dark hour is almost here you better come back soon." He grinned again and ran towards the vacation house leaving the both of us alone.
"That was...something." He nervously scratched the back off his neck I giggled "You were so shy Minato it was almost funny." He blushed even more "H-Hey I am shy when it comes to stuff like this...I never thought about hugging a girl let alone kissing one." He said and I laughed a bit "I never thought I'd kiss a boy too...but I'm glad it was you" I smiled at him and he shyly smiled back "Y-Yeah."
I never saw this side of Minato he looked extremely shy...I have a feeling I will love teasing him.I kissed him swiftly on the lips again and pulled back "Can I hold you hand when we go back?" I asked and he nodded with a smile I took his smooth hand squeezing it tightly never wanting to let go.
Thank you Minato you made me happy...really happy.
Done kind of emotional tho anyway stay tuned Aigis will be debuting in the next chapter along with the famous operation babe hunt.
P.S : Minato's rival is coming soon.
