Persona 3 : Two Souls

Part 11 - Ghost Stories

Takuya found himself standing under the full moon, a fog surrounding him as he looked around to try and figure out where he was, he saw that he was surrounded by what looked to be stars and he was standing on nothing somehow.

"Where am I?" Takuya asked himself, looking forward he saw a young man around his height standing in front of him. The man looked to be around Takuya's age but his hair was swept back.

"Who are you?" Takuya asked as he began to approach the man in front of him.

"We will meet." The man spoke out, his voice was the same as Takuya's which made him uncomfortable "Give it time." he added before lifting a finger to his mouth as if to hush someone.

And with that, Takuya woke up. He looked around to collect himself only to realize he was in his room and it was once again the middle of the night.

"What the..." Takuya began to speak before feeling something odd, he brought his hand under his nose and saw blood on his fingers. "...What was that?" Takuya asked as he took in his sudden nosebleed.

June 1st came very quickly after that, the group would continue to go about their regular lives while balancing their school lives. With the change to June, the school's student body would switch over from their winter uniforms to their summer uniforms.

During this particular day of school, Miyuki was sitting at one of the tables on the top of the school when Akihiko came up to the roof.

"Oh, hiya Akihiko-kun!" Miyuki cheerfully called to the boxer from across the roof, Akihiko turned to look in her direction and gave her a smile in response before walking over to her.

"Hey Miyuki, didn't know you were up here." Akihiko said with a chuckle, the few other students on the roof took notice of Akihiko Sanada talking to a junior like Miyuki.

"Oh yeah, I like to come up here some times." Miyuki explain.

"I get that." Akihiko replied "So how'd your brother score so high on midterms?"

"Huh?" Miyuki exclaimed curiously.

"He ranked highest of the entire student body, I wasn't expecting that." Akihiko explained the reasoning behind his question.

"Oh, that's easy." Miyuki replied "Takuya usually keeps to himself, so he's always had time to keep up in his studies."

"That makes sense..." Akihiko responded "...but he's also got SEES to worry about, where does he find the time?" he asked, which caused Miyuki to shrug in response.

"So how's the volleyball team doing?" Akihiko asked.

"Oh it's great, Rio's so cool!" Miyuki began to gush, this caused Akihiko to smile.

"You're not so bad out there yourself." Akihiko complimented which caught the excited girl off guard. "You've seen me practice?" Miyuki asked curiously.

"Sometimes, I had some time while waiting for my arm to heal." Akihiko answered.

"I appreciate it, Akihiko-kun." Miyuki expressed her gratitude with a smile and a faint giggle which did nothing but make Akihiko feel happy.

"Well, I need to start heading back." Akihiko explained as he prepared to head off "See you later." and with his goodbye said, the silver-haired boxer left the roof.

Later that day, everyone was gathered around the dining table back at the dorms.

"Hey Yuka-tan!" Junpei exclaimed.

"What is it?" Yukari asked in response.

"Remember that girl from 2-E?" Junpei spoke up "Well I uncovered an interesting lead on what happened to her, some of the students believe she was attacked by a ghost." Yukari's face was flushed with fear immediately upon hearing Junpei's words.
