The Queen Of Shadows (Persona 5 Fanfic)

Chapter 13

Catherine pov

I watched my brother leave the class. The bell ringing. I turned to Akira. "Your being bullied and wouldn't tell any of us?" Akira asked. "I dont want anyone to get involved. I need to stand up for myself" I said with tears. "Well if it gets worse I've got your back" Akira said patting my back gently. He walked away as I walked away as well. I heard Comotion and walked towards it. I saw my brother passd out in the hall with a girl kneeling next to him. I ran over and kneeled by the two. "Zetsu!" I said. I grabbed his face gently. I could see the dark bags under his eyes. "You know him?" The female asked. "He's my older brother" I said with tears. I thought he was gonna slip from my hands again. Thatd he'd fall into another coma. I felt him move his hand as he grabbed mine. It seems he was just sleeping. I smiled in relief. "He's just asleep. He's been working non stop at his part time jobs. I think if I manage to get him to a place to rest, he'll be fine" I said. The girl nodded. "Should we call someone?" She asked. "Ah no. I'll get one of my friends to help me carry him to the nurse" I said. A teacher coming over. "What's going on here?" The teacher asked. "My brother passed out from lack of sleep" I said. I moved him to sit up. He seemed to comply in his sleep. I saw Ryuji. He saw me and walked over. People automatically advoiding him. "Ryuji. Help me get my brother to the nurse" I said. "Fine" he said helping me lift my brother up. "Is it a family thing?" He asked. "What do you mean?" I asked back. "Passing out" he said. I sighed. "No. His problem is lack of sleep. He hasnt slept since he woke up from that coma" I said hwlping to carry him. We got to the nurse and I smiled to Ryuji. "Thanks Ryuji" I said. He gave a small smile. "Yeah sure. You owe me Catherine" he said. The nurse got a bed ready as we laided Zetsu down. "Name?" He asked. "Zetsu Raggon. I'm his sister Catherine" I said. "Alright. Your injured as well Catherine. What happened?" He asked crossing hsi arms. I sighed. "Oh well um. He passed out from lack of sleep" I said. "Hmm. What about you?" he asked. "Nothing. I just got roughed up from a fall and train ride" I said. "Doesn't look like that to me" he said. I sighed. Ryuji pat my shoulder. "Sorry Mr. Tisushi. Catherine here is to stubborn to tell anyone. Not even her friends" Ryuji said. "I understand. Personal issues are a pain. But Ms. Raggon. If you need help. Get help. Also if you get injured again please come to me. I don't mind fixing your injuries" he said. "Your last names Tisushi?" I asked. "Yes it is" he replied. I squealed. "Your Akuten Tisushi! I just know it. Your a famous idol from America!" I said excited. He was one of my favorite singers and models from America. He even was an actor with Oliver at one point. He has blonde hair with black streaks. He has these beautiful yellow eyes. But depending on the time of year they change into a crimson color. I always adored him. But he retired one day. he was a teen star like Oliver. Now in their early twenties they are off not doing things any longer in America or Japan. They work normal lives. "How did you get a job as a nurse?" I asked. "I actually went to school to be a nurse" he replied with a smile. "Now will you please let me check your wounds?" he asked. I blushed. "Um yeah sure" I said looking away embaressed. He walked to me and was looking at my face. "Hmm. Just a lot of bruising. Some scraps and cuts. Nothing to major" he said. Ryuji already having left the nurses office. "Hmm. If you get any more bruises. Don't be afraid to come to me. After school stop by if your brothers not awake by then" he told me. I gave a nod and hurried to leave. I was enternally fangirling from meeting Him.

After school I walked towards the nurses office. I saw Zetsu talking to the nurse. Zetsu saw me and smiled. "Hey sis" he said. "Hey brother" I said. "You need to get more sleep so you don't pass out again" I Mentioned. "Trust me I will" he said hugging me. "Well. I'll see you guys later. Goodbye mr. And ms. Raggon" Akuten said sending us on our way. Me and Zetsu walked along the sidewalk. "So... How do you plan on dealing with those bullies?" hear asked me. "Well... I Don't know" I said. He went to open his mouth but my phone Rang. I read the message Akira sent me. I stopped. "Oh I forgot he wanted to hang out with me" I said. "Who?" Zetsu asked. "Akira. He wants to hang out with me. I totally forgot that he said he might have time one of these days" I said. "Well go on. I won't stop you from hanging out with him. See you when you get home" Zetsu said walking away. I smiled at his back softly. I texted Akira to meet me at the underground mall.

I stood there for a while. He still didn't show up. I looked down at my phone waiting. "What's taking Akira so long?" I asked myself. "Maybe hes ghosting you" that man said. I looked over to see the demonic man. I nearly jumped from my socks. "Who are you!?" I asked. People all looked at me weird. "Who's the young girl talking to?" I heard a person asking another. "Still not telling you until your ready to accept that darkness deep inside yourself" he said. "He's not ghosting me. Hell show up... He's just prob'ly stuck in a crowd of people" I said quietly. "Your delusional. Honestly. Who in this world would ever like a weak person?" he asked. I was about to cry but I felt hands on my shoulders. "Catherine" Akira said painting. "I'm sorry it took me so long. I was searching all over for you but the crowds of people.made it hard to find you" he said. I smiled with tears.
