The bright sunlight swept into a pink room that normally housed Yukari Takeba but today sleeping next to her was Minato Arisato, the couple exhausted from the festival last night slept the moment the dark hour hit the world and now at 9 am Yukari slowly opened her eyes, and then began rubbing them to drive the sleep out of her eyes.

She made a low yawn and felt someone's arms wrapped around her, any girl would be panic stricken now but Yukari wasn't she knew that the one who was hugging her was her boyfriend Minato Arisato, Yukari looked at her sleeping boyfriend with a smile, he was sleeping peacefully, his hair all over the face.

Yukari giggled "Minato looks so cute asleep." Minato squeezed tighter thinking of Yukari as a pillow, the brunette giggled again "He's taking me as a pillow." She removed a lock of hair from his eyes.

"I hate to wake him up but I must." She lightly shook Minato who after a while made a groan and woke up "Aww...man..." He began rubbing his eyes and looked around not knowing Yukari was there "Sneaky Mitsuru and her overnight painting team." From the looks of things Minato didn't realize that he was in Yukari's room.

"Your in my room..." Yukari said startling Minato who quickly turned around to meet her face "Y-Your room?" He stammered and Yukari raised an eyebrow "You remember right? We had a bit of a...romantic night.." She blushed pointing to her neck "You gave me a...hickey." She blushed even more "Then I hugged you and then we slept."

"We d-didn't do a-anything else r-right?" Minato asked and Yukari frowned but the true meaning hit her and she blushed again "O-Oh no...nothing at all." She answered quickly and Minato answered back "I...see." He looked around her room almost everything was pink "Your room speaks volumes about your...pink fetish." Minato snickered and Yukari glared at him "Hmph...speak for yourself blue." Minato turned to her for a comeback but as soon as he did, his face went scarlet "Umm...Y-Yukari?" The brunette turned to him "Hhmmm? Whats wrong?" She asked and Minato blushed more.

"Y-Your kimono is...a bit loose and your b-bra is showing." He stammered.

"Oh thats it?" Yukari fiddled with her kimono adjusting it, but Mintao stared at her in shock "Shouldn't you be a little embarrassed?" Yukari shrugged "You saw me in a bath towel once remember this isn't something big."

Minato was shocked if he had pointed out this before they got together Yukari would have stomped...no broken his foot, she was totally a different girl up close, Minato guessed that all the time since her father died, she put those wall up so nobody can break them but since she loved Minato she acted different around him the real Yukari Takeba was shown only around him, thinking about it Minato decided to tease her "Oh whats the measurements?"

Hearing this Yukari blushed grabbing a pillow smacking him on the head "Pervert your just as bad as Junpei." Minato chuckled, slapping her on the back making her yelp.

"The hell did you that for? It hurts." Yukari pouted and Minato chuckled again "Its love toots." Yukari continued to pout but finally gave out a small laugh.

"Your truly one of a kind you know that?" She smiled.

"So I have been told." Minato smiled back getting up from her bed "I better go senpai will have my behind if she sees me..see ya downstairs." He waved and walked out of her room.

After a long and refreshing bath, Minato wore black jeans and a blue sleeveless t-shirt making his way down for breakfast, he saw Yukari sitting there eating bacon and egg and Junpei, his head on the tablet giving out obnoxious yawns, he sat next to Yukari and the two shared breakfast.

Junpei saw this and with a grin woke up smiling at the both of them, he cleared his throat and spoke "Soo...I heard you two had quite a night...last night." Hearing this the couple's eye widened and they both had a small blush on there faces.

"What do you mean?" Minato asked and Junpei's grin widened.

"O-Ohh...M-Minato...M-Minato.." He imitated the voice of Yukari last night and the couple was shell shocked, Yukari dropped her utensil and Minato's ears went red matched by tomatoes.

"The hell did you hear that?" Minato asked smacking his fist on the table, Junpei smiled again "I just know...ya know the little birdies." Minato heard enough he chased Junpei around the kitchen "Say this one more time I'll shove this spoon straight up your-" He sentence was cut short by another voice radiating happiness "Morning."

Akihiko Sanada was walking down the a huge grin on his face Minato and Yukari prayed that he wasn't going to sprout nonsense like Junpei, Akihiko took a protien bar and sat on the chair.

"Minato thanks the festival went awesome." Minato sighed a sigh of relief no more teasing now, he stomped Junpei's foot making him yelp, Minato walked back to the table sitting next to Yukari again.

"That's great.." He smiled at Akihiko who grinned back last night it was made sure Akihiko was really in love with Mitsuru.

"You seem more buffed than usual." Akihiko pointed out pointing to Minato's biceps

Minato shrugged "I juggle between Shadows and boxing sure you get buff." Akihiko nodded "I agree...but you have been hunting shadows far longer than any of us right?"

"Yeah..." Minato answered.

"How long exactly..." Yukari asked.

"Well I used to fight whenever I saw shadows feeding on a victim but since I mastered swords and boxing I went out every night to improve myself...I was like 12 at that time."

"Badass..." Akihiko praised.

"You have like 200 personas in your head which one is the strongest?" Junpei asked.

"Thanatos I guess since I can summon him whenever I want...but by raw power Metatron, Helel and Lucifer are the strongest." Minato answered.

"It must be pretty sweet to have multiple persona's right?" Akihiko said.

Minato chuckled "Yeah."

"But we sure have our work cut out." Akihiko sighed "We have shadows and the dark hour, this new demon who has been haunting us, the shadows that look like us and lets not forget about...Sakura and Strega." His last words oozed venom.

"I get pissed whenever I hear that name." Minato hissed.

"To think she toyed with us...it makes me mad." Junpei added.

"I won't forgive what she did to Minato.." Yukari said "That bitch." She said in her mind, she wanted to rip her for what she put Minato through.

"I haven't forgotten about that...lucky shot...next time I won't care that she's a girl I'll rip them apart in seconds..its like she said no games next time." Minato spat controlling his anger.

"Yeah...that nerd pisses me off." Junpei said making Minato chuckle "Don't forget about that weird hippie." They all shared a laugh together.

"ARISATO..." Mitsuru came running down the stairs.

"Sup redhead?" Minato greeted her instead of feeling annoyed at her nickname Mitsuru looked utterly worried.

"The blood results are in." Mitsuru took a deep breath "The scientist that looked and it he...lost his right eye." Hearing this shocked everyone they quickly stood up.

"W-What?" Minato asked disbelieving "How?"

"The scientist says he saw darkness for a few seconds and then heard a demonic laugh only hear by him and then he was blasted back losing the sight of his eye." Mitsuru answered.

"Damn...what are we up against?" Junpei muttered.

"Something horrible." Akihiko added in.

"I'm scared..." Yukari muttered as she grasped Minato's hand.

"What do we do now? We have no leads I mean for shadows we can go to tartarus but this? That demon didn't leave any clue behind...what the fuck are we supposed to do now?" Minato pulled on his hair.

"I...don't know but the situation is really dire." Mitsuru muttered.

"Dammit what the fuck am I supposed to do?." Minato cursed inside his mind.

SEES spent the entire day talking and discussing about what they were supposed to do but nothing helped, they had no leads to the mystery not in the mood for shadow hunting they all agreed on postponing the trip to tartarus it was 10 o clock when everyone made way to bed but Minato was welcomed by a horrible dream.

"Bro?" A voice called out that sounded very familiar to Minato.

Minato's heart raced it was the sweet melodious voice of his sister, he knew it was a dream but anything connecting them was good enough for him.

"Sister...is that you?" Minato asked back he turned around to see the back of her sister facing him she was still the same when she died she was around 17 years old wearing a orange blouse and a red skirt and a muffler wrapped around her neck, his heart being filled happiness, Minato ran towards her intending to tackle hug but he stopped as Hamuko turned around to face him, instead of the warm and sweet smile Hamuko always gave to him, her face had a look of pure anger and hate.

"S-Sis?" He called out and Hamuko gave out a little snicker.

"Enjoying your life bro with me dying?" She asked and Minato's heart wrenched.

"N-No I r-really m-miss you." Minato managed to say through his grief, Hamuko got close and laughed in his face "Shut up brat, I should have killed you I finally would have removed that annoying burden off my shoulders." Minato's was feeling his leg wobble but he made every effort to stand still.

"I...never wanted to be a burden to you I swear." He managed to say but Hamuko slapped him across his face.

"Shut up." She spat and Minato touched his cheek where she slapped her sweet natured sister slapping him was too much to bear, Minato fell to the ground, his hand still of his cheek.

"Come on cry now...spit in my face spit in the promise you made." She spat and Minato quickly stood up facing her "I wont I swear." He nearly shouted and Hamuko slapped him again, she grabbed him by his blue hair pulling roughly "Tsk...I guess I have to do what I always wanted."

"W-What?" Minato asked trying feebly to let her go off his hair.

"Finally kill you." She said in the most cold voice possible, Minato swore his heart just stopped beating for a few seconds.

Curling her hand into a fist, she slammed in into Minato's stomach making him scream in pain, the scream echoed and the dream was over Minato found himself awoke but was greeted by the most horrific sight he could have imagined.

On top of him was his long dead sister, she had a absolute sick smile on her face, her red orbs were burning with hate that Minato never saw before, before he could even open his mouth, he felt a fist being slammed into his face.

With a inaudible scream, he felt pain extreme pain, he had been battling shadows for almost a decade but this punch was brutal unlike anything he ever felt before.

A few drops of blood splattered on Hamuko's fist as she pulled back looking at Minato who has a busted lip "This is so easy." She grabbed him by the collar throwing him effortlessly to the side of the door, as soon as Minato stood up he found himself getting tackled and pushed back, he slammed against the wooden door and it gave away, he dropped backward on his head with a sick thud, he shook his head trying quickly to get up and try to think of anything but Hamuko grabbed him by his collar again throwing him towards the door opposite to his.

Minato's back and head slammed against the door again making him give a scream because of the pain.

"Come on dear brother you promised to fight back right?" She mocked and Minato quickly dashed towards the left, charging his fist with a morning star he aimed in onto her face intending to blast it off, but as his fist was coming towards her, everything happened in slow motion for him, his fist going to slam against the face that gave him a smile whenever he was feeling down, those red orbs that glowed with nothing but love for him, all the torrent of feelings running through him, his fist stopped just a few inches shy of her face.

She let out a snicker "Aww...baby brother had enough?" She mocked and charged her fist with a flame that was strangely reddish, she quickly rammed in into his gut, making Minato gave out a huge scream.

Minato clutched his stomach in pain, dropping to his knees the scream had attracted the next door Junpei's who quickly dashed out with his sword, he saw the horrible scene of Minato's bloody face and a redhead standing next to him.

He dashed towards the girl intending to cleave her, but Hamuko dodged quickly, she grabbed Junpei by his neck, slamming him face first into the wall, this time Junpei gave a scream as flesh met with the hard wall.

"What the?" Yukari's scream stopped as she saw the scene her boyfriend was on his knees she quickly ran towards him but was stopped by the sick face of Hamuko.

"Who a-are you?" Yukari asked her voice shaking.

"It dosen't matter." Like a flash of light Yukari felt a knee up her stomach, she tried to give a scream but was silenced by a fist meeting her pretty face.

"NOO.." Minato screamed tackling the redhead, slamming her against the wall, he held back a fist but was met by the shocked face of his sister "Minato?" Her voice was full of horror and Minato unclenched his fist at the sight.

Hamuko laughed again and replied with a fist of her own to his face "Pathetic." She said with a sadistic laugh.

"Arisato?" Mitsuru in her pajamas came running down followed by Aigis they both looked at Minato who had his face bloodied from the constant punching.

"Minato-san!." Aigis came running towards her but was blasted back by a Ziodyne she was sent flying back crashing against the wall.

"Aigis!." Mitsuru screamed but was burned by a Agidyne making her scream louder.

"What the hell is going o-" Akihiko tried to get out of his room by Hamuko thought ahead she grabbed Junpei by his neck and threw him towards the boxer, Junpei was heavy so Akihiko found himself on the ground his head meeting the ground with a thud.

"Is that all?" Hamuko laughed again she grabbed Minato by his hair "Get up." She ordered and summoned a ball of purple energy that hit him square in the chest, he was thrown backwards towards the end of the hall, against the window, Minato screamed as the glass cut through his flesh, he didn't have any time to even catch his breath as he found himself being pulled down by gravity towards the ground, he quickly switched to Thor making sure he wouldn't die because of the impact.

Minato slammed into the ground he was alive but he was hurt bad, Minato coughed out some blood "Dammit sis how could you?" He muttered as the door at once busted open revealing Hamuko who still had a sick smile on her face.

Minato slowly stood up as she walked towards him "I wonder how many boys could I have scored if I didn't have such a worthless brother." Minato again felt a huge stab in his heart.

"You were always a burden to me..I should have dropped you into a orphanage and enjoyed my life." She said facing Minato with a cold glare radiating hate.

"I tried to break through the fears like I am now." Minato choked but Hamuko slapped him again hard making him fall back on the ground, she grabbed him by the collar again holding back a fist.

"Stupid boy..." She was about to punch him again, feeling broken physically and emotionally Minato made no effort to fight back he never did how could he fight back Hamuko? The sister that was always there for him...but why was she hell bent on killing him?

"Stop there right now." Hamuko hand stopped as she turned around to see the rest of SEES glaring at her.

"Get off him right now." Yukari yelled.

"Leave Minato-san alone." Aigis glared at Hamuko.

"I don't know who you are lady but nobody hurts our friend." Junpei spat.

Hamuko laughed in response "Hohoho I guess I'll deal with my baby brother later first let the pest be exterminated." She let go of Minato and ran towards the group at lightning speed, there were shrieks of pains hitting Minato in his ears, his heart acking what could he do right now?

"Are you going to let your past demons consume yourself?" A voice rang inside his head that sounded...familiar it was Thanatos.

"Past demons?" Minato asked clutching his injured ribs looking towards the fight, Hamuko twisted Mitsuru's arm making the redhead give out a scream, grabbing her by the hair she slammed her into Yukari hard and they both fell down

"She is not the one that you hold dear." Thanatos spoke in his usual inhuman voice "Get up friend don't let your past demons take control and loose someone else again." Minato looked at Hamuko pulling on Yukari's hair making his girlfriend scream in agony, begging Minato to help her.

"Ask something that you both hold dear something you remember very well then you shall see that it is only an illusion." Thanatos spoke as Minato groggily got up his whole body was acking right now.

He walked towards Hamuko who was laughing at the carnage before her, every member of SEES was on the ground moaning in agony, she felt someone walking towards her and saw Minato slowly walking towards her.

She grinned but suddenly her face changed to worry "Bro are you hurt?" She asked but her voice still carried a tone of mockery.

Minato founded a wicked punch meeting his face again, but this time he made every effort to stand still not falling on the ground, gritting his teeth he absorbed the pain as he had switched to Thor but the punch still did hurt.

The fact Minato was standing surprised Hamuko, she grabbed him by his collar pushing him towards her "You scum...still got some fight left in you?"

"Before you attack again answer my question." Minato said his voice firm and Hamuko laughed in his face again "Why the fuck should I answer you brat?" She blasted him with a fireball but Minato quickly switched to Apollo nullfying the attack.

Hamuko was shocked she tried to go for another one but was it blocked again.

"ANSWER ME." Minato shouted and Hamuko stook a step back "Why should I?"

"If you answer me I'll kill each and every one of them by my own hands..." He looked at the member of SEES who were horrified.

"M-Minato?" Yukari sobbed.

"Dude wake up." Junpei yelled.

"That's how much I love my sister." Minato said his voice flat and Hamuko snickered "Alright what the fuck is it?"

Minato took a deep breath searching his soul for a treasured memory for a while and he finally found one "When I woke at the hospital...when I cried for the first time...you promised me something that you and I would never forget...what was that?" Minato asked.

Hamuko actually looked panicked and Minato grasped her hand giving it a light squeeze "Sister...what was that?"

Hamuko was really panicked right now, but after a while she composed herself giving a squeeze to the bloodied hand of Minato, she gave a smile "I said I'll always love you." She finished and Minato smiled at her.

"Now dear brother lets kill them all." She tried to walk towards the shell shocked group but was stopped by a hand grabbing her wrist, she turned around to see a sadistic smile on Minato's face that quickly melted into a look of pure anger.

"Wrong answer." Minato whispered, charging his fist a with a Agidyne he punched Hamuko across her face, she didn't fall back but was still hurt by the punch, she touched her cheek and looked at Minato with horror in her eyes "Bro would you hurt your sis?" She asked and Minato gritted his teeth.

"Hamuko's dead." Minato stated coldly "And I'll rip you to pieces for insulting her memory." The imposter Hamuko quickly tried to go for a punch and Minato caught it in his hand, giving out a scream of pure hatred Minato rammed his knee up her gut making her scream she staggered back and Minato gave out another scream almost inhuman.

"HOW DARE YOU?." Minato yelled he floated from the ground and his eyes turned pitch black again, his breaths were getting heavy his body giving out a dark mist utterly shocking everyone.

"I'll fucking rip you to pieces...how dare you insult her memory...how dare you hurt my friends." Minato's voice was suddenly very deep but it was oozing venom at the imposter.

"W-Whats happening?" The imposter asked and Minato yelled "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT." He screamed for Minato's own vision almost everything looked dark, but he had pure anger in his heart wanting to kill whoever was in front of him.

It was almost like someone else was controlling his body.

Minato floated towards Hamuko who tried to go for a punch again and was easily blocked, Minato applied a bit of pressure and crushed the knuckles making her scream that was akin to the faceless demon.

Hamuko's body suddenly twisted and turned morphing back into the hodded figure that they saw nights before, he had his hood off revealing the featureless face.

"So its you after all you fucking bastard." Minato screamed repeatedly punching the demon across his face blood that was strangely green splattered everywhere as Minato continued the assualt.

The demon screamed again and it staggered back, quickly muttering something, a blue glow surrounded him and like the last time he disappeared.

Minato got on his knees "COME OUT NOW." He screamed punching the ground making a carter around him, after a while he calmed down his heavy breathing gone and was replaced by panting, the hurt on his body returned but he slowly got up looking at his team mates they looked both surprised and horrified.

Minato with his last bit of strength summoned a card and crushed it, Helel appeared behind him as he commanded it to engulf the entire party with a salvation.

A warm glow engulfed the team as they felt all the pain leaving, Yukari quickly got up looking at Minato, he looked barely alive, he shut his eyes close and his knees gave away, emotionally and physically drained he landed on the ground with a thud.

"MINATO.." Yukari screamed running towards him her eyes were wet as she placed her head on his chest, steady beats were heard and she calmed down a bit.

"We have to get Arisato to the hospital the dark hour is almost over Aigis carry him." Mitsuru commanded "Iori get the bandages from the inside."

"Gotcha." Junpei ran inside the dorm while Aigis walked towards Minato lifting his body up in her arms.

The dark hour was going to end in a few minutes, they rested Minato on the couch and gathered around him.

"W-What exactly was that?" Fuuka asked even she got a few bruises from the fight.

"I don't know who was that girl?" Junpei asked.

"That was..." Yukari grasped Minato's bloody hand "His sister."She finished her tears falling again.

"But...s-s-she died years ago." Fuuka stammered.

"Yes the demon we saw few night ago that took her form and haunted Arisato." Mitsuru answered her.

"Holy shit." Akihiko was shocked.

"Just...what are we up against?" Junpei said as he removed his cap.

? POV

I woke up from my sleep breathing heavily the pain that was always around me didn't exsisted right now, I started gasping for air and pulled roughly on my hair.

"Please...no not again." I screamed begging the haunting voice to go away.

"My puppet you wont find salvation...not in his word." No please NOOOOO!

"Hahahahahaha."
