"Is it just me, or is this getting almost too easy?" Yu asked as the third knight shadow vanished.

"Well we're a lot stronger than we were before." Chie said. "Though maybe we should head back, I promised my mom I'd be home before dinner today."

"Yeah, she's right." Yosuke said. "I actually need to head home myself."

"Alright, in that case let's head back. We'll see you later Teddie." Yu said calmly.

"Oh, ok I'll be waiting for you guys." Teddie said as the three persona users disappeared. "Sensei and the others are really strong, I wish I could help them out more but the shadows are too dangerous for this little bear."

"I'll see you guys tomorrow." Yu said calmly.

"Yeah, that sounds good. See you partner." Yosuke said.

"See you tomorrow Yu." Chie said with a grin before walking off with Yosuke.

"Huh, Yu is that you?" asked a voice from behind him.

"Oh Yumi, what are you doing here?" Yu asked calmly.

"I had something to take care of, what about you?" Yumi asked quickly.

"I was just spending some time with a few friends, speaking of which don't we have drama club tomorrow?" Yu asked.

"Yeah, are you planning on stopping by?" Yumi asked with a smile.

"I don't think I can, but we can always get a little practice in right?" Yu asked calmly.

"Yeah, good point." Yumi said. "Ok, after you."

Thou hast strengthened thy genuine bond… It leads thee closer to the truth… Thou power to fuse Sun personas has increased.

"Oh yeah Chie, mind if I ask you something?" Yosuke asked.

"Sure, what's up Yosuke?" Chie asked as the two of them walked out of Junes.

"I was just wondering if you felt Tomoe whenever you summoned a different persona." Yosuke said.

"Actually, now that you mention it yeah I do." Chie said. "Isn't that because of how our special power works?"

"Yeah, and if I'm right Yukiko-san will get the same power. Which is why I think we should understand it as much as possible." Yosuke said calmly.

"That's a good point, you're pretty smart Yosuke." Chie said thoughtfully.

"Huh, oh thanks Chie." Yosuke said. "Well I'll see you tomorrow."

"See you Yosuke." Chie said as the two of them walked off in opposite directions.

"Oh you're back." Dojima said calmly.

"Yeah, actually now that I think about it we haven't gotten a chance to just talk have we?" Yu asked.

"Huh, no I guess we haven't." Dojima said. "Alright have a seat then."

"Thanks." Yu said before sitting across from Dojima.

"So, I guess school would be a good thing to start with. So are you enjoying it?" Dojima asked.

"Yeah, I am." Yu said.

"That's good." Dojima said before looking down in thought.

"Is something wrong uncle?" Yu asked.

"No, I'm just trying to find the right words that's all." Dojima said.

"Well why don't you start by telling me about yourself, I mean you're my uncle but I don't really know much about you." Yu suggested.

"Me, there's not much to tell." Dojima said thoughtfully. "Actually, I did want to ask you one thing. What have you been doing after school?"

"I've been spending time with my friends, and actually joined two school clubs. I'm just trying to do something with my time." Yu said honestly.

"That makes sense." Dojima said with a small smile.

Thou art I… And I art thou… Thou hast established a new bond… It brings thee closer to the truth… Thou shalt be bless when creating Personas of the Hierophant Arcana…

"Well goodnight uncle." Yu said.

"Yeah, night." Dojima said calmly.

"Hey partner, tomorrow's the day Yukiko-san comes back to school. With any luck she remembers something about what happened." Yosuke said.

"Hopefully, but we'll have to wait and see." Yu said calmly.

"Yeah, you have a point." Yosuke said thoughtfully. "I wonder what she'll think of those three though."

"You mean the Velvet Room right?" Yu asked.

"Yeah, I mean it's kind of a strange place." Yosuke said. "Don't get me wrong I'm glad that Igor's helping us out but the three of them are kind of interesting?"

"I know what you mean." Yu said as Chie ran up to them. "Oh, hey Chie."

"Hey, what are you guys talking about?" Chie asked.

"Well, you know how Yukiko-san is going to be getting her strength back tomorrow right?" Yosuke asked.

"Yeah, you mentioned that yesterday Yosuke." Chie said.

"We were just talking about how she'll react to meeting Igor, Margaret, and Marie." Yu said calmly.

"Oh yeah, that's right." Chie said. "Actually, do you mind if Yu and I introduce her to them Yosuke?"

"Huh, why shouldn't we all introduce her to them?" Yosuke asked.

"It's not that I don't think we all should, I just mean Yu's the only one of us who's really a guest of theirs and I've been friends with Yukiko for longer than you guys." Chie said.

"Yeah, you have a good point Chie." Yosuke said.

The moment Yosuke said that, a bell started to ring.

"Oh crap, we're going to be late." Chie said nervously.

"You're right, let's go." Yu said quickly before the three of them ran into the school.

"What a surprise, yet another pointless lecture from King Moron." Yosuke said. "So what are you guys going to do now?"

"I think I'm going to head to the Velvet Room." Yu said calmly.

"Alright, give them our regards ok Yu?" Chie asked.

"No problem, I'll see you two later." Yu said before walking out of the classroom.

"I should probably head to Junes myself, I probably have a lot of work to do today." Yosuke said before shrugging his shoulders in defeat. "I only hope the part timers are willing to actually work today."

"Do you need an extra pair of hands?" Chie asked. "I could help out if you want."

"Huh, oh sure." Yosuke said in surprise. "Thanks Chie."

"No problem, that's what friends are for right?" Chie asked with a grin.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Yosuke said. "After you Chie."

"Right." Chie said before the two of them walked out of the classroom.

(Yu has formed a bond with his uncle, and the Investigation Team is preparing to meet up with Yukiko. Next chapter Yu will learn a new service of the Velvet Room. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
