Boring Affection [Akira Kurusu x Reader]

Chapter 6

As the small group of thieves were discussing on what just happened, a guard saw them in the room and ran towards them.

"Intruders!? Halt!"

The group turned and went into their fighting stance. "Crap, they noticed us!"

The guard exploded and revealed their true form. The guard spilt into two shadows.

I sense a new possibility within me stemming from the previous battle... Akira thought to himself.

He changed his persona into Pixie and used Zio on one of the Shadows, knocking them down.

"I-Is that the Shadow from earlier!? Don't tell me... Did you take in the Shadow's appearance and powers as a Persona!?" Morgana questioned.

After awhile of attacking they were finally able to do a hold up. "You bastard... What're ya makin' me do!?" The Shadow asked.

"Lend me you power."

"So that's yer move?... Then I guess I'll talk first. I'll decide if I'm gonna help you after... Hey. You never know if someone you know might be watchin'."

"A bad rep spreads like wildfire. If I were you, I'd quit all this nonsense. What's the point?"

"I don't care." Akira replied.

"Yer tryin' ta look hard- boiled, but yer just a wannabe tough guy. Yer half-boiled, tops... Ugh, this hurts. Hey, if you got any medicine, lend me some. They're supposed ta work miracles, right...?"

"That won't change anything."

"Geez, sonny. You sure can say some scary things. What a coincidence, my sentiments exactly- Hey! I can't believe it... I remember now..."

The shadow stood up. "I'm no Shadow from this place. I used to be livin' in that there sea of the human soul! From now on, call me Bicorn. No need fer honorifics, sonny."

The Shadow turned into a mask and got sucked in Akira's mask. Morgana jumped up in surprise. "Holy... Does that mean you can wield multiple Personas?"

Ryuji and (Y/N) turn towards Morgana. "H-Hey, Mona! What was that about!? What did Joker do?"

"We need answers, Mona!" (Y/N) exclaimed.

"He sealed the enemy's appearance and powers into his mask, and made it his new Persona... I've never seen anyone do that before... Didn't even know it was possible!"

"It's nothing important." Akira said nonchalantly. "You say that... But only one heart exists per person, so normally a person can only have one Persona. But this... This is incredible! That ability will give us a huge advantage in battle! All right, try to do that even more if the opportunity arises! You two better help out too, Skull, Cloak."

"Hell yeah! We'll hold every last one of 'em up!" Ryuji shouted. "Yup, yup!" (Y/N) said.

Morgana turned to Akira. "Hehe, I like you even more now! I really do have someone special on my hands!"

Ann walked up to front of the castle. "This is that place from earlier...!"

Ann looked down at her phone. "... What's up with this app? I just said the words Sakamoto said, and I ended up-"

"Princess!?" A castle soldier yelled. "Huh?"
