Normal POV

Sakura was still on top on Minato who passed out a few moments ago the fight was brutal and Sakura was more ruthless than he could ever imagine. The sleeping gem was strong so it would be a few hours before Sakura would wake up.

Minato was beaten to the point of death sure he had his share of injuries through out his life but he was never beaten this bad he didn't even land a punch on her and worst of all he had to kiss her just to save his life.

The door brusted opened and the members of SEES saw the carnage before them Sakuya was lying on top of Minato hiding his face from them but inside they knew fate had something terible for them.

Yukari ran towards Minato and the others walked slowly nervousness and fear clearly in there eyes while Aigis was shaking.

Yukari threw Sakura off her boyfriend and let out a gasp at seeing the state of her lover his face was beaten black and blue and it was covered in blood,his right eye was swollen and black his lip was busted and bruises were present all over eyes traveled down to see his right arm covered in blood and a huge gash on his shoulder.

"No...what did she do to you Minato." She lighly shook his but no response...there was complete silence for a few moments but the realizationd dawned upon them Yukari and Fuuka busted in tears Yukari clutched Minato's head to her chest crying loudly.

"Noo...not y-you." She bawled.

"Arisato..." Mitsuru was shaking Akihiko was looking down while Junpei lowered his cap and all the while Aigis was silent still shaking.

Fuuka tried to speak "W-We have to act quickly Sakura might wake u-up." Yukari snapped "Let her wake up I'll tear her to pieces."

Aigis eventually spoke "I-I detect a faint pulse Minato-san is alive we have to escort him to a medcial facility at once." Everyone looked at Aigis and Yukari lowered her head onto his chest and she could hear faint heartbeats.

"He's a-alive." Yukari declared and everybody calmed down alittle.

"The dark hour is almost over we can't have Arisato go like this I'll call a vehicle." Mitsuru told them and Akihiko asked "What about Sakura?"

"Kill her right now." Yukari yelled but Mitsuru looked at the sleeping girl "Aigis restrain her and Akihiko take her evoker away she is a member of Strega we will get some information that we need Iori pick up Arisato."

"Gotcha." Junpei replied and walked upto his leader picking him up "Don't worry buddy we won't let you die."

They all waited for the vehicle to arrive and it did very shortly it was a huge limo they all went in with Sakura with them she was about to wake up but they tied her ams and legs up and snatched her evoker away at the moment she was powerless.

Minato was still knocked out his head resting on Yukari's shoulder after a short while Sakura woke up her anger was taken to a whole new level she would yell and curse but still couldn't do a thing because she was tied up.

"I should have fucking killed him." She yelled

"You couldn't take him head on...so you tricked him your the lowest level scum there is." Junpei spat.

Sakura's eyes fixed on Yukari "Oh so the leader woke up." She snarled catching everyone's attention they turned around to see Minato looking at Sakura with his good eye.

"Minato...your alive." Yukari sobbed "He's alive alright...fucking coward." She screamed but Minato kept looking at her his face still on Yukari's shoulder.

Sakura looked Minato dead in his eyes "You had to kiss me to stay alive...I couldn't take you head on true but you did was truly pathetic the mighty Minato is scared of death afterall so much that he had to kiss the biggest bitch in the world."

"Next time there will be no games I'll kill you on the spot."

Minato coughed out and replied with a weak voice "N-Next t-time there will b -be no pills." His eyes turned black for a second signaling his persona summoning power had returned.

Sakura wasn't scared she kept looking at him "No...I don't need pills anymore to kill you admit it or not you got the most brutal beating of your life...I am covered in your blood." She said coldly "I am inside your head Minato and let me tell you I am the most ruthless and soulless bitch ever to grace the world."

"Next time no games no pleasure I will pour your heart out."

"SHUT UP." Yukari yelled her brown eyes were full of anger Sakura smiled at her "Oh I envy you his mouth is sweet." Minato lifted his head from her shoulder and laid back on the seat letting out deep breaths.

"Enjoy what time you have left I might break into your room and kill you during sleep."

"That won't be happening you are going to the Kirijo police station we have some questions that you MUST answer."

"Go to hell." She spat.

Yukari reached for Minato's hand but he yanked it away shocking her.

"Minato? Whats wrong?" She asked.

Minato just looked the other way and closed his eyes again "Dorm." He said causing Mitsuru to look at him "Arisato you can't be serious."

"Dorm." He said again with a higher voice and Mitsuru sighed "Okay."

They all arrived at the dorm and the entire trip was almost unbearable for Yukari Minato didn't not look her way the entire time causing her immense they reached inside Minato refused all the help he limped towards his room and even without healing himself or cleaning out the blood he crashed on the bed and closed his eyes he had alot on him mind and soon he fell asleep only to be welcomed by a horrible nightmare.

Minato was sitting on a bed his eyes fixed on someone wearing a pink sweater and a black skirt he reconized her as Yukari she was crying and her pink sweater was full of blood instead of helping her Minato merely looked at her helpless form begging him to help.

The door opened and in came a black haired girl she smiled seductively at Minato and walked towards him while undoing the buttons on her shirt she undid a few before standing infront of Minato she bent down and they both kissed while Yukari cried even more.

Her hands reached for Minato's button and she ripped his shirt off before pushing him away,removing her shirt aswell leaving her in a black bra and pants she climbed on top of Minato kissing him once more and then pulling the bedsheets on them.

"SHIT"

Minato woke up with a sudden jerk his whole body was sweating and in pain from the beating he took from Sakura he grabbed his hair roughly and cursed "Fucking hell." The nightmare was horrible for him Yukari was covered in blood and he...was busy with Sakura.

"Dammit...why did I have to kiss her...I should have died anyway." He felt his head burn all the 200 personas inside him were furious for not helping Minato.

Minato himself was full of rage and his head was almost burning ignoring the lingering pain in his whole body he walked towards the sink and opened the tap putting his head under it he winced as the cold water hit his still fresh wounds but he needed anything looked upto the mirror and his mind flashed back to the battle with Sakura he could remember how ruthlessly she punched him on the face,crushing and ribs and then almost depriving him of his shoulder he thanked himself that he closed his eyes when she fired the Megido attack otherwise his eyes would have payed the damage.

"I can't believe this not a single scratch on her..." He looked at his reflection in the mirror his face was still bloody his eye still swollen and black "Dammit I couldn't do a thing." He punched the mirror breaking it but injruing his arm the shards of glass sticked into his fist and arm making him scream again his arm was bloodied but he ignored it "I derserve the pain for being so utterly pathetic."

"Minato?" A voice came from behind the door and Minato's eyes widened it was the voice of didn't answer just staring at the door.

"Minato? Are you there?" She asked and still he didn't reply "How can I look her in the eye after kissing that witch." He thought to himself.

"I'm coming in." She said and Minato braced himself he didn't want to anywhere near her for now.

The door opened and in came Yukari she looked at Minato and let out a small scream "Minato.? What the heck happened to your arm?" She asked and placed her hand on his bruised one her eyes wide in worry but Minato jerked his hand away making her heart bleed.

He took a shard of place from his sink and giving it to her "Kill me."

"I kissed her dammit you should stay far away from me as possible." He almost yelled.

"But your alive thats what I wanted." Yukari said trying to hug him but Minato pushed her away.

"I am alive because I kissed her dammit I KISSED HER even though I have you." He spat.

"I should have died instead." As soon as Minato said that Yukari's eyes blazed anger and she slapped Minato cross his cheek opening his wound and covering her hand with blood.

Minato touched his cheek he didn't even heal himself and he didn't plan on doing this he deserved the pain he looked at Yukari "Leave...please." He said and made his way to bed Yukari looked at her boyfriend with teary eyes but then left.

This continued for the next few days Minato didn't come down for food or anything his cell phone had a million unread messages and Yukari or someone else always came to cheer him up but he would have none of it he couldn't sleep properly eveytime he closed his eyes he would see Sakura beating him to a bloody mess or kissing still didn't heal himself much to the worry of everyone else he had all the cuts bandaged up and his shoulder too.

"Dammit why can't I get over it?" Minato asked as he pulled on his hair roughly then he heard a knock on his door.

"Who is it?" He asked and a elegant voice answered "Arisato its me."

Minato slowly walked towards the door and opened it to see his senpai her normally emotionless red eyes were wide in worry.

"What is it?" Minato asked his voice devoid of any emotion Mitsuru fumbled but then spoke "We are going to taratrus today Yamagishi can sense someone...would you like to come?" She asked and Minato sighed "Not for a while...your the leader." He said that and closed the door making his way to the bed his eyes were heavy and his stomach was growling he ignored it and laid on the bed he wanted to sleep,he closed his eyes ignoring the thoughts of his bloody beatdown at the hands of Sakura finally he slept and entered into the velvet room.

Minato for a long while didn't feel someone tackling him instead he felt a hand on his shoulder and looked to see Elizabeth her golden eyes in wide in worry.

"Minato..." Her voice was full of concern.

"Yeah Minato beaten to a pulp and then did something cowardly to save his ass Arisato." He finished with a tinge of hatred at charged a Diarhan up and hand and was about to place it on her shoulder but Minato shook it off "No don't heal me I deserve the pain dammit." He hissed and Elizabeth with hesitation backed away.

"Where's Igor?" He asked and Elizabeth replied concer still evident "Master has some bussiness to do so I am the only one here." Minato nodded and looked at her "Will...you do something for me?" He asked and she replied at once "Anything at all."

"...Fight me." He answered and Elizabeth's golden eyes were wide open.

"W-Why?" She asked

"I need to get stronger...I was beaten to a pulp there is still alot I must do.." He replied but Elizabeth was still not ready.

"But you are badly injured." Minato shook his head "I am but I need to work through it I can't keep healing myself for ever...please Elizabeth." He pleaded and Elizabeth still was very hesistant Minato was strong but a careless attack from her might kill him.

"A-Alright." She finally answered after seeing the look in Minato's eyes she turned around "Follow me." Minato followed her into a large room and it was completely bare.

Minato took out his sword and readied himself while Elizabeth summoned her compendium her eyes still were full of worry.

"Lets begin." Minato said and Elizabeth went with the flow and started the fight..

After a short while it ended..

Minato was sent crashing into the wall with a scream of pain while Elizabeth was standing there looking on with horror she quickly cut in "That's enough Minato."

"I-Its n-not." He said and moved his shaking body upwards trying to stand again...only to fall back on the closed his eyes and cursed.

"Dammit I know this feeling I hate it." He said through clenched teeth while Elizabeth took a step forward "The feeling of being pathetic and weak...its the same damn thing when I couldn't save her." He bit his lip trying to his dammest to stop the tears he never cried not even on his parents death but the memory of his dead sister always made him loose his cool he wanted to cry but couldn't he promised her.

Elizabeth bent down and hugged Minato who didn't push her back "You can cry if you want Minato." She felt his shake his head "I won't cry...never again I promised her."

"Yes you promised her something else too.." He said and Minato looked at her still being held in a hug.

"What was that?" Elizabeth asked moving a lock of hair from his eyes.

"I...will never be scared again.." He choked out and Elizabeth nodded "Yes but you are now..." She answered truthfully and Minato bit his lip again "I know...I have to go through it but its...too hard I was beaten by someone weaker than me...I let my team down they thought of me as someone to rely on but I am sure my image got shattered to pieces."

"That's not it at all..."Elizabeth replied with a smile "You humans aren't perfect neither are you...that girl might have beaten you but you have to snap out of it Minato...your team needs you they are nothing with you guiding them...your a fool who's power will keep growing...don't lose hope keep your promise." Elizabeth finished and Minato was quiet for a few seconds before smiling at her "Guess your right I should start the pity party...sis would be cracking her knuckles at me right now." He said and Elizabeth grinned at him she moved her face towards towards him Minato knew what was coming next...he had a girlfriend but...Elizabeth isn't completely human so he went with the flow and crashed his lips with her there tongue's collided with each other during the kiss this continued for a while untill they broke off both of them blushing hard but then suddenly.

SMASH

World Arcana social link level 3..

Minato felt a huge surge of power he felt it everytime he leveled up a social link but this was far too greater his body flowed with a warm feeling and he felt his...his persona's grew stronger much stronger.

Elizabeth giggled "Oh a social link between us I always wanted it I should have kissed you earlier." She smiled and Minato blushed "Thank you Liz I don't know what would I do without you."

Elizabeth kept smiling "Don't be silly your my favorite guest I'd do anything for you." Her cheerfull grin had returned and Minato grinned back at her in a long time the memory of him getting beaten to a pulp was gone instead it was covered with a will to improve and protect his team and he owed it all to Elizabeth.

"Thank you once again...and" He gulped "About the kiss I'd appreciate if y-"

"Don't worry I wont tell anyone...and I am not exactly human so you don't have to worry...although that was quite satisfying." Minato blushed again and Elizabeth giggled but her mood turned serious shocking Minato "Whats wrong?" He asked

"Your friends they are in danger." Minato's heart found the way to his throat "What's happening?" He asked and Elizabeth after a slight pause almost shouted "They are getting chased by the reaper." Minato's eyes were opened wide and he cursed "Dammit I am still alseep in the real world it might be too late..."

"No I can transport you with your body to the floor which they are." She answered and Minato regained hope "You can?" She nodded "You have to go quickly you can beat it good luck..." Minato nodded and Elizabeth summoned her book and began muttering some spells and Minato's body glowed green like the time when he uses the terminal he knew he had a short while but he kissed her cheek softly shocking her "Thank you Liz." She said and vanished leaving Elizabeth alone after a while she smiled "Oh Minato-sama." She giggled and put her compendium away "I can' wait for the day when you will battle me equally."

Minato found himself inside tartarus "Whew Liz's is a freaking life saver." He moved his arms to check if he was really in his own body and sure he was "Alright now gotta find them." He looked down at himself he still didn't heal himself his shoulder and ribs were hurting but he discarded the thought of healing himself "I should play rough...even tho Liz will be pissed." He sensed a couple of persona user not too far from here "THATS THEM." He felt a huge power next to them that must be the reaper he ran towards them smiling he knew with his new power the reaper would be no match.

Yukari POV

We were running throughout the floor but there was no terminal on this floor and we didn't found the stairs either and what was worse is that the reaper is behind us...without Minato none of us could take him on...even if he was here he might loose this time he was still injured bad.

Our team was Mitsuru-senpai,Aigis,Junpei and me we all were running for the last fifteen mintues trying our hardest to lose the reaper but that blasted thing was still on our backs "Dammit Minato we need you." I cursed in desperation and we hit a dead end to be greeted by a wall and behind us the reaper was laughing making my hair stand up.

"It is finished." It spoke in the same demonic voice I could feel everyone shaking in fear infront of its immense reaper raised his gun launched a Ziodyne at us I braced myself electricity was mine and Aigis's weakness and the attack from it could surely kill us.

"Minato..." I muttered in what was supposed to be my last breath.

"NOT A CHANCE." I heard a familiar voice shout out there was a huge bang I could hear Fuuka gasp and the sizzling of electricity I opened by eyes to see...Minato infront of us looking at the reaper is that really him?

"No just no." I heard him say "You won't be spilling human blood tonight." He spat at the creature I looked at him he still had the bandage around his shoulder which was red from the blood his face still had the cuts but the black eye was gone even with the injuries his eyes were blazing like they did before the fight with that bitch but this time even brighter.

"Arisato?"

"Dude? Is that you?"

"Minato-san?"

The reaper laughed "Thou is hurt thou can't beat me." Minato kept smiling at him "Thou is a bitch." He taunted the reaper who gave out a scream of anger and launched a ball of almighty attack at Minato who shoved it away with ease shocking everyone.

"That's the best you can do?" Minato taunted him again and summoned a huge sword and walked towards the reaper the smile still on his face I felt a lot of comfort just with him standing there.

"I'll be straight up...you can't beat me even with my broken body...your no match tuck your tail and run before I pound you into oblivion." I felt everyone relaxing alot more Minato is finally back to save us.

The reaper gave out another scream and tried to hit Minato with his gun at once Minato let go of the sword and caught the guns "Tch...alright then you die." His knee glowed like a flame and he rammed it into the creature's gut and the reaper was hurt...really bad.

The reaper staggered back and Minato looked on unimpressed "That all?"

The reaper launched a bullet at Minato who titled his head avoiding it and then he charged at the reaper picking him sword stabbing him in the shoulder the reaper dropped one of its gun in pain and Minato's eyes went black he summoned Thanatos and the persona caught the reaper smashing it into a wall and then slamming it onto the ground.

Minato held the gun in his hand he put a little bit of pressure breaking it into half "Pffft...you call yourself death?" He taunted him even more and I couldn't believe it he was almost equal to the reaper the last time he fought but now he was ripping him into pieces with ease just what the hell happened to him?

The reaper slowly got back and Minato crushed a card.

"Apollo Nova Kaiser." The sun god appeared infront of the reaper and grabbed it summoning a huge ball of flame engulfing it the reaper gave out a scream and flew backwards from the attack and Minato walked towards him his hands were glowing gold.

The reaper got up and Minato punched him in the face he grabbed the reaper by the neck and slammed his face into the wall before kicking him on the face...Minato was far more ruthless than he was before but I didn't care he was easily winning without that crazy attack.

Minato again slammed his face into the wall drawing out blood the reaper was barely alive now and Minato even with his injuries was barely breaking a sweat I felt my eyes water but this time of joy he was almost beaten to death but bounced back even powerful then ever the horrible memory of him getting pummeled by Sakura was gone I knew my Minato would beat her with his eyes closed right now.

Minato summoned two short sword and rammed them into the reaper's hands pinning him into a wall rendering him unable to summoned two cards and for the first time even the reaper was scared "Thou forgive us." He pleaded? The reaper pleaded? But Minato didn't have one of that he kicked him in the gut "Shut up trash like you deserve to die.

He crushed the two cards and I saw the beautiful angle Helel and the demonic Satan appeared behind him but this time he didn't fall back he was still standing on his feet.

"Armageddon." The two persona's crashed together creating a bluish flame the flame entered into the reaper making it scream Minato turned around and slowly walked towards us in slow motion...that looked really badass.

He flicked his wrist and a huge flame exploded from within the reaper making it give a final scream but after that it was gone...Minato beat the reaper with ease and he was still standing after using Armageddon.

He walked towards and his face being complete emotionless I stiffened I hope he didn't forget that we are his team mates he continued walking and stopped a few foot away from us.

Junepi gulped and spoke slowly "H-Hey dude you still are on our s-side r-right?" Minato frowned and I swear my heart might have skipped a beat he kept the frown for a moment but then smirked "If you treat me to ramen.." I felt my heart bust with happiness Minato after what seemed like an eon smiled that cute smile making me want to hug him.

"MINATO." I almost yelled running towards him hugging him tightly.I heard Mitsuru-senpai chuckle behind me "Arisato...you are truly special."

"Minato-san you have recovered from the trauma." I could feel Aigis smiling.

"Sorry for being a mopey douche for the last few days." He said.

"I am g-glad your okay once again." I whispered into his ear.

"Alright I'll treat you to ramen anytime you want." Stupei grinned at him.

"I promsie I'll keep getting better." He said and senpai clapped "Minato Arisato overcomes another adversary...splendid." I wanted to ask him how the hell did he come here or how quickly did he become this powerful but I didn't bother just having him around made me happy.

We all went to the ground floor where Akihiko-senpai fist bumped Minato,Fuuka smiled heartedly and Koro-chan barked happily we all laughed together and then were walking out from the school I was walking with Minato at the last with everyone walking infront.

"Hey...sorry for being an asshole." He apologized and I gave him a sad smile "I am sorry for hitting you." He smiled back "I deserved it you actually knocked some sense into me." I giggled but then felt him grab my waist pulling me close and the next thing striked like lightning he locked his lips onto mine shocking me but after a moment I returned it his taste was something that will never grow old on me we were there kissing for a more than a minute until he broke the kiss making me almost kick him.

He smiled at me "Sorry I had to do this..." He chuckled and I giggled "What's there to apologize for I always like it." He smiled "Lets go the dark hour is almost." He slapped me lightly on the back and walked forward with his hands in his pocket I kept staring at him for a while before I felt something strange.

"Did...HE just kiss me?" I asked shocked it was always I who started it he was always...to shy but today he did it first.

"Come on brunette its almost over." He yelled and I was snapped out of my thoughts.

"Coming blue." I yelled back and took off running behind him wrapping my arms around his neck from walked like that ignoring Junpei's perverted giggles and Senpai's chuckles.

I am glad he was back.
