Inevitable TWINS (PERSONA 3 FANFIC)

Chapter 11

Third Person's POV

They entered the door and reached the second floor of Tartarus.

"Do you hear me?" Mitsuru's voice

"Mitsuru-senpai!"

"Good, you hear me. Don't worry about a thing. I'll be guiding you using my persona's ability. And from here I'll be giving instructions"

"Okay"

They searched the floor and found their first shadow

"There's a shadow ahead of you! Attack it and be catious." They entered battle. Mitsuru explained everything and luckily, they defeated the first shadow.

"The more stronger you get, the more powerful shadows will appear." Warned Mitsuru.

"Got it"

"Okay, now try splitting up. Everyone spread out and find something valuable. But I won't allow any of you to advance to the next floor."

While they spread, they encountered shadows and defeated them individually

"Hey! I found the access point!" Junpei shouted.

"Let's go back" Minako ordered. Everybody gave Minako the things they've found

1st floor. Tartarus

"Man, that was intense!" Junpei shouted.

"Yeah, I'm exhausted." Minato said.

"It's just the first time. But you'll get use to it if all of you would train" Mitsuru suggested. "That's enough training for tonight. Don't worn yourselves out. If you do, you'll be tired for the whole week"

"Yeah. Got it" Minato said. They hear a great loud growl

"Get ready to battle!" Minako shouted. Junpei scratched his neck.

"It was my stomach" he said embaressed

"...." they all looked dumb-founded

"S-Sorry! I'm just so hungry!"

"Okay. Dark Hour will end soon... just go to the convinient store and grab snacks."

"ALRIGHT!"

"What? But isn't that stealing?" Yukari said

"No, its the dark hour so you can get some items." Mitsuru said.

"Yosh! Let's head to the convinient store! Quick! COME ON MINAKO! COME WITH ME!" Junpei grabbed Minako's hand which made Akihiko frown.

"Sure! I'm hungry too!!!" Minako childishly replied.

They arrived at the convinient store.

"Junpei?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you think.... Akihiko-senpai is mad at me? Because all those girls are spreading humors about me and him?"

Junpei ate his sandwich as Minako took a bite on her donut

"I don't think senpai is that kind of guy."

"Then why is he not looking at me? Or even greeting me"

"Well... maybe he has his reasons."

"Really?" Minako looked upset.

"Aww, come on! Don't look down! Senpai isn't mad at you! I can feel it!"

"Thanks again, Junpei.."

"Come on let's go back they're waiting"Junpei said as he walk out together with Minako. Minako was just looking down thinking if Akihiko isn't really mad at her. But Akihiko needs to make a move.

Minako's POV

I listened to what Mr. Ekoda was saying.

"I heard that Minako is flirting with Junpei" a girl from my class whispered. Its literally not a whisper because I could hear it.

"Yeah! That slut is cheating on Akihiko-senpai. That's why Akihiko-senpai is ignoring her and keeps on training at the Shrine everyday."

"Keep it down Ms. Souchu and Ms. Santi. I can hear you two." Mr. Ekoda mentioned. I could feel them glaring at me.

Lunchtime

I was walking on the hallway. Junpei has homeworks to do and Minato and Yukari have to go home early because of Ikutski-san.

I saw Akihiko walking towards me. My heart beated as if its gonna come out any minute.

"Mina...." he spoked. I looked at him "C-Can we go back together after class? I have something to ask you"

"Y-Yeah... "

"Okay. I-I'll pick you up in your room"

I hurried back to our classroom and listened to what my classmates were talking about.

Afterclass

"Kyahhhhhh! Its Akihiko-senpai!" The girls screamed as Akihiko-senpai pass through them and grabbed my hand.

"Omygosh! Senpai is still into that bitch?" A girl said. Another girl blocked our way

"Stop!" She said. "Stop hanging out with that girl, senpai."

"Why?" Akihiko-senpai asked

"B-Because she's cheating on you! We saw her with Junpei"

"Cheating?" Akihiko started "I'm not her boyfriend, yet. And I don't care she and Junpei are hanging out."

"Senpai..." Junpei showed up "What's going on?"

"They thought that you and Minako were..."

"Huh?" Junpei looked around and then to me. "Oh!!!! Good God!" He burst out in laughter.

"Junpei?"

"Sorry senpai..." Junpei tried to stop laughing "Anyways, don't blame Minako. The reason why me and Minako were hanging out because she thought that she's a burden to Akihiko-senpai"

Akihiko-senpai looked at me

"And Minako really looked down. Because YOU girls in this campus calls her 'slut, bitch' and other bad things that all of you could think" Junpei defended me.

Everyone looked at him.

"I-I'm very sorry...." I said to all of them. I ran out of the campus and cried.

I sobbed under a tree.

"Hey"

I looked up and saw Akihiko-senpai

"S-Senpai" I cried

"Look, Mina... Hey... Look at me" I looked at him "From the very start, the first time I saw you.... I felt this strangest feeling. Its like I'm laying on a soft bed and floating through the sky. And when I'm with you, It feels like I'm going to explode any minute." He said and sat next to me. "Then i realized... I'm inlove..." he looked straight at me.

"Sorry, Mina. Hahaha I was just carried away by my feelings..."

"N-No... senpai. I feel the same way" I started "That's why when you weren't noticing me, I thought you were angry at me because of tbose girls who spread the humor. That's why Junpei kept me calm and kept on pushing me to talk to you"

"Mina, the reason why I ignored you is because I don't want you to be hurt by those girls." He said "Its really not a good time to ask you a question."

"What is it, senpai?"

"Is it okay for you... to be my... g-girlfriend?" He asked.

"Y-Yes"

"Really!? So... what now?"

"I don't really know." I said

"I-I guess, I have to hold your hand?" He said. I nodded.

He took my hand and held it. His hands are soft and warm like a pillow. I could hold it like this forever. I wish this won't end.
