POLLS UP, Everyone please vote on the poll present on my profile it realllly matters.
"I-Is it because of m-me?" Aigis shakily asked. The fact that she caused the huge fight between the two was putting too much strain on her artificial mind. Minato looked at her mustering the best smile he could manage after the horrible incident moments ago "No Aigis its not your fault."
"Will you be okay Arisato?" Mitsuru asked and the fool nodded "I guess." With that he walked up the stairs.
"Dammit what's gotten into you?" Minato bashed his fist on the wall as soon as he entered his room. Minato's mind started throbbing, Yukari threw all those accusations on him and even slapped him real hard.
...
Inside Yukari' room...the resident of the room screamed, throwing all the makeup contents onto the floor "How dare he?" Yukari snarled in rage "He's my boyfriend...how dare he even looks towards someone else."
The next day came up, chilly winds were blowing indicating a typhoon was just coming, the skies cackled with electricity. Minato woke up still a bit angry and heartbroken from yesterday's events.
"Dammit." Minato cursed getting up from his bed. Pulling out his school uniform plus the jacket since it was actually quite chilly now, he hastily got dressed up and then went down. Yukari was sitting downstairs reading her fashion magazine. She still didn't forget last night's events either. Minato couldn't help feel pissed at her, without even stopping for breakfast he passed by her without even a glance or a greeting. Yukari's heart took a sudden stab as Minato totally ignored her. But she composed herself quickly "No he started it."
Minato opened the door and stepped outside to be greeted by a chilly wind making him shiver "God damn this typhoon will be huge." He mused as his eyes looked up at the sky. Walking towards the monorail, Minato pulled on his headphones and clouded his mind with music. Greeting several people Minato entered into his homeroom and surprisingly found Junpei already there.
"Hey dude." Junpei greeted as Minato walked towards the cap wearing teen.
"Yo." Minato greeted back and Junpei removed his cap, gulping he asked "Are...you okay? I mean from last night." Minato's eyes twitched a bit "I'm fine..." He said flatly, Junpei looked down, Minato noticing this place a hand on Junpei's shoulder "I'll be okay don't worry about me...how's Chidori doing?" Minato asked trying to change the subject.
Junpei grinned "Oh pretty well, she's opening up a lot." Minato smiled "Oh that's really great." The door opened and in came Aigis who greeted the two males.
"Good morning Minato-san and Junpei-san."
"Hey Ai-chan."
"Morning."
"Minato-san." The mechanical maiden walked towards Minato her voice a whisper "Are you okay? I'm afraid that you are still suffering from mental stress." Minato tried his best to smile despite the subject "Don't worry Aigis I'm fine." The door slid open and a certain brunette in pink walked in, glaring at Minato who responded back with a cold glare of his own.
"Oh its Aigis now?" Yukari sneered.
"None of your business Takeba." Minato spat, making Yukari clench her teeth in rage. Yukari gave a 'hmph' and sat down on her seat, Minato grabbed the seat next to her and placed it next to boy who had a vacant spot by him. Yukari eye's widened...was he so disgusted by her that he didn't even want to sit next to her?
Toriumi walked into the homeroom and was surprised to see Minato had changed his seat.
"Um..Minato-kun can I ask why you cha-."
"Denied." Minato answered leaning back on his seat "Just start the homeroom already." Toriumi did as he commanded and starting flipping through the book. The class started Yukari would sneak glances at Minato who was listening to music ignoring everything else.
"Dammit apologize already." Yukari thought but that just didn't happen. Classes ended and Minato got up, heading into the boxing club, not bothering to even look at Yukari.
Minato was alot more ruthless in the club something that Akihiko pointed out. The practice ended Akihiko had to go early since Mitsuru called him, Junpei, Fuuka and Aigis already left, leaving him alone, walking out he cursed his luck as it instantly started raining.
"Dammit." Minato cursed he didn't even have an umbrella, seeing no other choice he ran towards the dorm, passing by the moonlight bridge, it was raining so the monorail was pretty much closed. Walking by the spot where his sister died, Minato closed his eyes, since nobody else was around, he casted a Sukukaja and ran faster hoping to reach the dorm quickly, the rain was brutal and lightning striked as well, Minato started coughing. The thought of the fight last night made his head spin. Charging forward Minato slipped landing face first on the cold bridge.
"Fuck." Minato cursed again, getting up. Minato blood froze this was the exact same spot that Hamuko died.
"No I'm over that." Minato yelled out to the sky. A sudden sharp pain hit his head, the horrible memory came rushing back to him.
"You couldn't save her..." A voice said aloud, making Minato turn around "Who the fuck is there?"
"Hahahaha..." Was all that he got in reply.
"I'm fucking over it." Minato yelled pounding on the ground until his knuckles bled.
"Are you really?" The cold voice asked with a hint of mockery. Minato's blood froze again...that voice was similar to The Crawling Chaos.
"Is that you Nyarlathotep?" Minato yelled getting up from his crouched position.
"Minato-kun?" A voice rang out this time, Minato turned around to face a black haired girl...it was Rio Iwasaki.
"I thought it was Sakura." Minato sighed inside.
"What are you doing here?" Minato asked hiding his bruised fists behind his back.
"Oh I just finished with my club and the monorail was busted...so I had to walk back home." Rio answered shielding herself by an umbrella. Minato rubbed the back of his head "Same here..." Rio studied Minato "Are you okay Minato-kun? You seem tensed." Minato shook his head "Yeah I'm okay...ACHOO." Minato sneezed the cold weather was really getting to him.
"Are you okay? You don't even have an umbrella."
"I'm fine.." Minato answered he hesistated but asked a question "Say did you hear a laugh over here?" Minato asked and Rio who was confused "Umm...no I just saw a shadow and that was you." Minato didn't answer "Am I going insane?" He asked himself.
"You don't look good..." Rio mused "You can take my umbrella if you want." Minato smiled at her "Nah its okay...I'll sprint the way see ya later." He waved and then took off running.
"Dammit that was just a hallucination no need to trouble yourself Minato." He told himself as Minato sprinted towards the dorm the harsh weather was really getting to him. Minato finally reached the dorm slamming the door open. Everyone was on the first floor when Minato barged in, shaking and sneezing.
"Minato?" Junpei was the first to notice.
"Minato-san." Aigis cried running towards the blunette "Your injured." Aigis grabbed a hold of his wrist pulling it forward revealing his bloody knuckles. Yukari's heart did a somersault at the word 'injured' but she controlled herself "No he will apologize to me first."
"Arisato." Mitsuru got up from the couch and grabbed a towel running towards Minato who was sneezing and shivering. Everyone except Yukari gathered around the leader.
"Your suffering from a fever." Mitsuru declared as she put a hand on Minato's forehead, the move nearly made Yukari shout at her.
"Forget that what happened to your knuckles?" Akihiko demanded as he glanced at the battered hands of Minato.
"Nothing..." Minato coughed.
"Don't give us that shit." Shinjiro spat.
"Alright I ran through the rain." Everyone gasped "Because the monorail was busted...I ran through the fucking bridge and then had a hallucination." Minato looked down "Which I don't wanna talk about." He said effectively ending the discussion.
"Very well." Mitsuru sighed knowing full well that Minato will not say anything further "You need to rest Arisato, Aigis take him to his room, Yamagishi will come shortly to check your temperature." Yukari clenched her teeth it was supposed to be her job.
"Roger." Aigis nodded placing Minato's arm over her shoulder "This way Minato-san." She walked slowly, the both walked by Yukari who almost cried at the fact that Minato didn't even spare a glance at her."I can play it as well." Minato said to himself. Aigis rested Minato on his bed and Fuuka shortly came afterwards and indeed Minato was suffering from a fever and a particularly high one. Minato slipped into sleep, opening his eyes he was greeted by a familiar blue room.
"Welcome Master Minato." Igor greeted Minato.
"Hey Igor been a while."
"Yes I had some matters that I had to attend however I summoned you here because I wanted to warn you." Minato rose his head to face him also greeting to Elizabeth "I sense a great catastrophe in your future." Igor warned making Minato full in attention "I suggest you be on your guards at all time." Minato took that seriously last time Igor warned him Sakura turned on them "I see thanks."
"No problem I must be off." Igor declared.
"Wait where the he-" Minato could barely complete the sentence as he watched Igor disappeared from his chair.
"Damn hobbit." Minato muttered even though he was in Igor's domain. Elizabeth giggled "I don't think master would like to hear that." Minato didn't smile at this simply leaning back on the chair, making Elizabeth worry "Minato? Is everything alright?" Minato shook his head "No I recently got into a fight with my girlfriend."
"You mean the lovers link?" Elizabeth asked and Minato nodded "Yeah she not only insulted and accused me but also slapped my face."
"Why that arrogant and foolish little human." Elizabeth shouted, a blue mist forming around her shaking the place apart "You tell me Minato-sama and I will kidnap her, torture her until she apologizes." Minato sighed a sad look crossing his face "No its alright...if she wants to keep it that way...I've already parted with so many people...it won't matter if someone else goes away now does it?" Minato chuckled making Elizabeth stop her rampage.
"Mom...dad...sis..." Minato muttered. Elizabeth bit back the tears that were about to leak. She crouched down to Minato's level, leveling her face with his. Minato blushed as Elizabeth put her hands on his shoulders "But...I won't leave...you." Elizabeth whispered "I swear on my existence." Minato smiled edging closer to her, Minato's lips captured Elizbeth's in a blur engaging into a passionate kiss. Minato heard a voice ring inside his head telling him that The World reached rank 9 but he ignored it continuing with the task at hand.
Elizabeth pulled back blushing. Minato smiled shyly "Well that was unexpected."
"Not to mention extremely satisfying." Elizabeth grinned making Minato blush again, he got from his seat "Man your really something Liz." He smiled smacking him on the back.
"Your special too Minato-sama." Elizabeth grinned smacking him on the back with almost no force but still that didn't stop Minato from slamming into the wall even though Elizabeth barely used any force.
"Woah." Minat winced as he slammed against the wall "Man your one bull." He said as he got up. Elizabeth giggled "Well I certainly didn't use any force at all."
"Well that just shows your way above me." Minato sighed but smiled "Thanks for the comfort...I know no matter what happens you'll always be there to help me."
"You can bet your ass on that." Elizabeth grinned and Minato cringed the sentence was certainly not to be used here.
"Y-Your not supposed to say that." Minato scolded to which Elizabeth titled her head in confusion "But I saw people in the movies say this when they swore something." Minato sighed Elizabeth was as naive as a new born child "Welll...ugh...I'll explain it to sometime else.." Minato sighed "I'll be going then Liz take care."
"Goodbye Minato-sama." Elizabeth waved as Minato disappeared she wondered "Hmm..so its a bad thing to say? No wonder sister got mad." Elizabeth shrugged.
Yukari was trying very hard not to bash her skull on the wall. She was torn on one side there was Minato who was asleep for more than a day never getting out of his room, she wanted to kick the door open, barge in, check his temperaute, take care of him but on the other side there was her pride, she didn't wanted to go to him, he had to come and apologize to her...it was his fault...and Yukari wasn't too dependent on him.."Is that true?" Yukari wondered as she stood infront of Minato's room, reaching for the knob she tried to turn it but stopped herself "No..not me."
Minato woke up after what seemed like an eternity to him, reaching out for his cell phone, Minato eye's widened he was asleep for two freaking days.
"Damn but at least I'm fine now." Standing up, Minato changed into a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, he walked out from his room. Walking down he was greeted warmly by everyone...except Yukari who was reading her magazine.
"Woah Minato is that lipstick?" Junpei asked gasping.
"W-What?" Minato shouted as everyone turned to look at him "Dammit I never knew Liz uses lipstick."
"Hmph..so another girl." Yukari muttered but Minato heard it.
"If you wanna say something say it to my face." Minato spat making Yukari turn to him with a glare. Everyone tensed a fight seem to be on the horizon.
"Yeah you got the scene on with another innocent girl ain't that right?" Yukari yelled.
"Oh yeah I bet everyone saw me moon walking out the dorm." He did kiss Elizabeth but never in his wildest dreams would Minato ever imagine to betray Liz and the stunt that Yukari pulled off a few days ago, he now held Elizabeth in much higher esteem than her.
"How should I know? You have a freaking 200 personas in your head you must have used them." Minato laughed "That's why you've offically lost your mind."
"What did you say."
"You heard it." Minato hated arguing with her...but she was way too...bitchy here.
"Alright break it up." Mitsuru commanded as the juniors went quiet. Minato shook his head "Tartarus tonight." He ordered before walking out the dorm. SEES did as Minato ordered they gathered at the cursed tower.
"The team will be Mitsuru, Akihiko, Junpei...and." Minato looked at the rest, Ken was not present since he had alot of homework and Shinji looked kinda sick "Takeba..." Minato finished as he turned around. Yukari gave a 'hmph' in response. The team tore through the shadows...well it was mostly Minato would was extremely ruthless this time...he ripped an Arcane Turret apart with his bare hands, summoned Thanatos and spammed Megidolaoan all over the floors reducing it to rubber. They reached the guardian floor, where Fuuka advised them that the Mythical Gigas that was waiting for them was very powerful.
"I'll handle this." Minato declared as he stepped forward. Marching towards the lone shadow that looked similar to a Gigas but with a blue mask and a white body which has various red tattoos on it.
"Fucking Hogan rip off." Minato hissed but then smirked "Well I never liked him." The Gigas noticed the fool and without a word charged at Minato, aiming to hit a lariat but Minato quickly side stepped it, power charging his leg, Minato kicked the feet of the shadow making it fall down on the ground. Minato still having the effect of the power up kicked the shadow in the gut making it scream. The Gigas though quickly discarded it, grabbing Minato by the shoulders, he hurled the blunette towards the wall.
"Rakukaja." Minato whispered as he slammed against the wall barely flinching at the impact.
"Bastard." Minato hissed, summoning a card "This will rip through every part of your body." Crushing it Minato yelled "COME FORTH ARCHER." The dazzlingly handsome persona appeared behind Minato holding a long, sleek and black bow with a arrow already loaded in it.
"Tear through it." The persona nodded and aimed the bow and launched it with deadly accuracy, planting it right on the monster's chest who was advancing onto them. The group watched in shock as an almost endless supply of arrows teared through the body of the Gigas who kept screaming in pain. Minato waved his hand and the Archer disappeared. Walking towards the shadow who was still alive, Minato summoned a short sword digging in onto the already battered chest of the shadow.
"Thanatos." Minato called upon the death god who let out a monstrous roar. Soaking the fear of the shadow in, Thanatos took its blood stained sword ripping through the shadow's throat. The shadow collapsed onto the ground presumably dead. Minato started walking away but stopped as the shadow grabbed a hold of his foot. Minato was already pissed by towards event.
"Fucking shadow." Minato yelled materlizing Thor's hammer, Minato slammed it onto the battered head of the shadow crushing it. The shadow finally disappeared as Minato tuned around to face the team "Move on." Minato ordered as he climbed the stairs with the other following behind.
"Alright split up." Minato ordered "Try to stay clear of the shadow if one engages you try to finish it off otherwise call for help." Everyone nodded and splitted up. Minato started walking until he felt a presence behind him.
"What do you want now?" Minato hissed not even bothering to look around.
"I was just looking around." Yukari defended herself.
"Hmph." Minato walked faster with Yukari following behind.
"What are you waiting for?" Yukari asked making Minato turn around to face her "What do you mean?"
"Apologize." Yukari demanded and Minato raised his brow "Why should I. Your the one who slapped me." Minato hissed.
"Because you were acting like a fucking moron." Yukari spat, her anger taking control.
"No your just stupid." Yukari's fangs clenched in rage as she slapped Minato across the face again "Don't you dare call me stupid." Minato's cheek stinged from the hard slap but he did nothing in return. Minato could never hurt Yukari.
"Hohohoho.." A cold, shrill voice was heard as the two teens turned around. Yukari gasped as she saw her shadow leaning against the wall grinning at the both of them.
"I told you Minato-sama, your just too good for me." The shadow laughed "I'm nothing but a broken girl who has daddy issues."
"Shut up." Yukari yelled but the shadow didn't stop "I finally banged my boyfriend...no wait my ex-boyfriend." The shadow laughed "Minato-sama finally saw what type of a bitch I am." Yukari clutched her head "SHUT UP JUST SHUT UP."
"But even if he dumps me, I'll just continue on clinging to him." Yukari laughed "Just like mommy clinges to those old geezers." The words hit Yukari was a ton of bricks "I'M NOTHING LIKE HER!." Yukari yelled.
"You double faced bitch." The shadow yelled "Your so fucking pathetic. You hang onto Minato for your life."
"NO I DON"T! I CAN LIVE ON MY OWN." Yukari yelled making Minato's eyes widen.
"Prove it!." The shadow taunted "Prove it you'll continue to flock towards him, your such a bitch." The shadow continued " You cant do anything with him."
"I don't need him." Yukari shouted "I can do everything on my own." She glared at the shadow "I don't need anyone." Reaching inside her pocket "I don't give a fuck what happens to him." Yukari pulled out Hamuko's hairclips that Minato gave to him.
"W-Wait." Minato spoke but Yukari didn't listen "I CAN DO EVERYTHING ON MY OWN I DON'T NEED HIM!." She threw the hairclips onto the ground before stomping on them "He could die for all I care." Clearly Yukari's pride was just too high and had taken control.
There was silence for a few moments, Minato heart took a sudden stab as Yukari's boots crushed the only remaining memory of his sister. Yukari kept breathing heavily until she finally thought real hard about what just happened. The shadow laughed "Stupid little whore." She taunted as she disappeared into the darkness. The realization dawned on her, as she looked to Minato who looked completely shatterd from the looks of things he was holding back tears.
Yukari's heart wreched as she saw the look on his face, she slowly removed her foot and looked down, resisting the urge to break down and cry. The treasured hairclips were broken into tiny bits and it was all her fault. Minato said nothing, he just walked towards her not even bothering to yell at her...he just didn't have the energy for that. Bending down he clutched the broken hairclips into his fist which was shaking.
"M-Minato..." Yukari tried to speak but Minato didn't reply, he slowly stood up. Reaching into his own pocket he grabbed a hold of Yukari's cell phone strap. Minato handed it to her all the while still shaking.
"I...still...respect the...memory of your dad.." Was all that Minato said before he turned around, putting the crushed remains in his pockets. The team ran towards the two but instantly stopped as they saw the look on Minato's face. Taking a few deep breaths to recompose himself he ordered "Lets go." He spoke lifelessly without any emotion.
"Bro you okay?" Junpei asked but Minato didn't reply instead just walked away. The team found the teleporter and reached the ground floor. Yukari was trying her hardest not to cry, Fuuka shot her a glare which made her even more nervous. Minato kept walking ahead of the group his hand carrasing the broken bits of the hairclips.
"NO I wont cry." He swore "I may have lost her memento but I won't break my promise."
"What have...I done?" Yukari cried inside.
...
