Persona May Cry 4: The Midnight Strikes

Chapter 4: Raiden's Awakening

The next few days were fast compared to other days for Ryuki, walking down the morning streets with Fuuka, hands intertwined and smiles shown, both adults continued to walk towards their destination, Ryuki felt as if the streets were too quit, taking a second to find any off setting noises he located a horde of demons rapidly approaching. Running up the streets Ryuki jumped in the air and kicked a demon back towards the others like a bowling ball, manifesting his weapon Ryuki dashed forward to end the fight as fast as he can, but before he could touch the first a black lighting bolted past him and electrocuted the demons into ashes. " what the?"

Looking behind him Ryuki noticed Fuuka  Unsheathing a black colored blade with red demonic text on the edge of the blade with a firm black and red cored hilt. she then got into a stance that when looking struck Ryuki home, swinging her blade at the demon using what she learned when training with Makoto and Mitsuru back at their home base, annihilating the shadow in the process she sheathed her sword back "something wrong love"?

Staring at her in total disbelief Ryuki couldn't believe what he was looking at, his own girlfriend wielding one of the most powerful demonic weapons like his sword, how in heaven or hell she got ahold the weapon he would never know, but the fact that she is human and can wield a weapon like that is what scares him to death, " Hey Fuuka, how did you get that weapon"? Slowly approaching her, he was hesitating to take any action until he got the info he needed.

Holding out her hand to manifest the weapon, she held the weapon for a few minutes before looking at Ryuki, " um can you stop staring...It's embarrassing.."

Seeing the sword in front him Ryuki felt as if a piece of memory tore it's way into his mind, endless memories had hit him hard, harder than even the Reapers attack. heavily breathing he felt as if his demonic half was going crazy trying to tell him something only to have him refuse to listen to the devil, holding his head with both of his hand Ryuki fell to the his knees and tried his damn best to not to cause a commotion. Fuuka, who was scared for not knowing why Ryuki was on his knees until she saw his eyes glow a bright red.

"Is everything okay Ryuki?" Fuuka asked seeing as he was struggling to keep his emotions stable, as she knelt down to embrace him in her arms comforting him, "Love you can talk to me, is the sword? I'll tell you just please calm down, you know I won't ever do something terrible with a weapon"

"N-no it's just... That sword somehow made me remember something that I swore to never forget, I buried that thought, and now it's hitting me hard and I regret burying that memory"

After a few minutes she let him get up onto his feet, grasping his hand she starts to walk home with him in tow. Walking back to the house, Fuuka walked through the front door to go shower leaving Ryuki behind outside. Instead of walking in the house, Ryuki started to make his way back into town, while walking he looked around to see random blue door standing out unlike the other places, curiosity got the best of him and he decided to open the door and walk in.

Upon entering, Ryuki is standing in a different room, instead of a usual blue decorated room with a table in the middle of the room, Ryuki was instead standing on a gazebo with pillars on all sides of the circle supporting and the rest of the room was a simple void with nothing, after looking around for a minute he then looks in front of him to see a man with a half butterfly mask and his hair tied up.

The masked man looked at Ryuki and gave him a look of confusion " how interesting, you seem to have stumbled upon my room". looking around while keeping his guard up, Ryuki was unsure for where he was since he was used to the velvet room and Igor's strange, not needing to manifest his weapon since there was no demon around Ryuki averted his attention towards the mysterious man, "Alright buddy, either tell me who you are and where I'm at or else things might get ugly" glaring daggers at the mysterious man. Putting his hand behind his back and looking towards Ryuki he gave a smile "I see, well let me introduce myself, my name is Philemon, a dweller in the rift between consciousness and unconsciousness of all souls... I am you. You are me... I shall always watch over you from within."
