The Queen Of Shadows (Persona 5 Fanfic)

Chapter 6

There stood my brother. He held me tightly. "Catherine" he said as tears slipped down his face. "Zetsu" I cried. I held him tightly as he gripped me. A nurse walked in and jumped out of their boots. "Mr. Raggon is awake!" She declared. She ran off. "Catherine. We need to find a place to hide from father" he said. "Where are we gonna go?" I asked. "I have a friend. If he's still around he'll let us crash with him" Zetsu said. "Well just make an excuse to dad" he whispered. The door flew open and there stood our father. He smirked. "So the little boys really awake" he said. "Yes. And I think me and Catherine should live with the commoners. Its like suffering more for us and you wouldnt have to pay us" Zetsu said. "Hmm. You wake up and talk nonsense. Why?" My father asked. "Simple. I know you like suffering and I want you to let us know what more suffering is" Zetsu replied. "Very well. I'll let you both get some clothes then dont dare step foot near my property" he said walking away. Before the reporters could come in we were already gone.

I handed him my phone as he dialed a number. "Hello?" He asked. "Yeah I woke up finally. But me and my sister need a place to crash" He explained. He was quiet for a moment before speaking again. "Thanks alot" he said before hanging up. My brother was already working hard to protect me. I couldn't believe he was so strong and able to walk after being in a coma for so long. We stopped at an apartment and I saw somone I had forgotten about. I tend to forget many people from my past. I dont even remember what my mother looks like. Zetsu hugged his childhood best friend as I stood there awkward. "H-hey Aketchi" I stuttered. "Catherine. Its been a while" he said. I nodded. "Yeah really has Aketchi" I said. Zetsu smiled and carried our stuff in. "So me and you are gonna share a room Zetsu. I thought that Catherine would like her privacy" Aketchi said. "Fine by me. I'm gonna get a job so I won't be here much" Zetsu replied. "My job also makes me not be here a lot" Aketchi said. I opened the door to my room I pursumed. It was basic but had black sheets and black curtains. I smiled and laied on the bed yawning. "You missed a lot for school. You havent gone to school for a few days because your 'sickness'" Aketchi said sitting by me on the bed. "Anything new going on then?" I asked. "From what I heard of. Not really. Some rumors say that some three kids are gonna get expelled" Aketchi said. My eyes going wide. "Whoa" I said. Aketchi sniled. "Your brother asked me to walk you to school tommorow. If that's okay?" He asked. "Perfectly fine. Thanks Aketchi" I said. "You really haven't changed much" he said. "What do you mean?" I asked. Aketchi shook his head. "Doesn't matter" he said. "Get some rest. I'll see you in the morning" he said getting up. "See you" I said. I smiled slightly and laided in my new bed. The bed was comfy and nice. I already missed school because of it all but I didn't mind. It was a nice break. I closed one of my eyes as I watched the sun set with the other. I smiled more and closed my other eye. Drifting to sleep once again.

I woke up the next morning to the smell of Pancakes and Bacon. I sat up and got out of bed. I walked out my room stretching. "Morning Catherine" Aketchi said smiling at me. Zetsu in the kitchen cooking. he always was a great cook. "Aketchi will be taking you to school today. Since you have to take the train hell be with you. When I find out what I can do for my education I'll join you then. Until then. I must figure out a good job" he explained. "Yes brother" I said. "Good. Here" he said serving breakfast. Aketchi and me eating the sweet and delicious food. After that I stood up. "Thanks for the food" I said and then walked away to my room. I got my uniform out and put it on. For once I didn't put on layers of makeup. I tied the boots up and walked out my room with my book bag. "Shall we go?" Aketchi asked with a Smile. "Yes" I said walking with him to the train station. Once there we got on the train together. No seats anywhere when we got on. I stood by the door as Aketchi put his arm around me and held me close. "Dont worry Catherine. I'm going to make sure no one tries to purposely touch you or anything" he said. I smiled and hugged him. "Okay" I said just staying like that till our stop came. We got off and he grabbed my wrist dragging me away from the crowds. After we were clear he let go. We walked in a comfortable silence. "Catherine?" He asked. "Yeah?" I questioned. "Do you have any friends at school?" Aketchi said. "Yes. I have one or two" I reply. "Good. I just want you to try and live a good life. Everything kinda went downhill when we were younger. Your life without Zetsu must have been hard. I just hope everythings better now" he said. "Aketchi" I said. I gave him a hug. "Of course its better. I have people like you around for me" I said. He gave me a gentle and kind smile. He pat my head. "Well we are here. Better go in" he said. "Thanks once again Aketchi" I said walking up the steps. "No problem Catherine. Have a good day at school" he replied. I looked back and waved to him. He waved back. I turned and entered the school.
