Quickly, he twisted around and stopped. He turned back around to face Akechi, who brushed his cheek.
He could see the blood rolling down Goro's cheek.
He drew first blood.
"Since when have you had this trick?" Akechi asked.
"For a while. Personal experience at all," He said as he held the blade close. He watched as Akechi drew his sword as well.
He needed a weapon that was hidden in plain sight. Between him, Chie and Kanji, they were able to figure out something that he could use in the cognitive world and the real world if the need for it. As much as he preferred his sword, it was always a pain to bring with him. So, they thought up a solution.
"Clever," Akechi said as he rushed to attack him.
It was an attack that he easily blocked. He pushed him back and Akechi pulled back to attack his other side. He did some test thrusts to see Akechi's skill. The first thing that he realized at Akechi's reactions to his test was he wasn't comfortable with a sword. No, he should rephrase that.
His moves were good but they were functional. It remained quite a bit of his fencing club in high school. Some members were natural with their weapons. Some were terrified of them. Some knew the moves but didn't fall into either category.
This isn't his preferred weapon of choice.
Probably the gun.
Probably
He noticed that most persona users pick up their weapons through a trial by fire. It was a dangerous method but they really didn't have much of a choice.
One of these days, he and Igor were going to have a talk about that. It would save him some headache if he had an idea on what was coming.
He chuckled softly. Knowing Igor would just grin at him and give him some riddle.
After a few test hits with his blade that Akechi easily blocked, he went in. He pressed his blade a little hard and he went in. Akechi started to struggle to keep up with his moves. He was no longer on the offense but the defense.
"Someone has been training," Akechi said as he barely blocked another move.
He is trying to distract you.
I know.
The boy knows that he is out gunned here. He is up to something.
Hmm…the other one….
His other persona…he hasn't used it yet.
Yes.
Finally, he knocked Goro's sword from his hands.
"You won't kill me. You just can't. You are one of the "good" guys," Akechi said with a laugh.
He saw something underneath Akechi's feet. He jumped back as he watched. It was like his persona's attack but not. It was dark and twisted shadows that wrapped around Akechi's body.
What the hell?!
His other…
His hand dived into his pocket for his phone. He watched as Akechi drew his gun and point it at him.
"But I have…no such quarrels."
BANG.
BANG.
BANG.

A/N: Don't kill me? Please? Anyway, to answer the question, everyone will make an appearance but I am leaning toward Teddie or Rise to make the first appearance but for very different reasons. It depends on how the future chapter rolls. Anyway, thank you for the lovely reviews, kudos, favorites, etc. You guys are awesome and deserve Phantom Shape cookies.
