Persona 3 : Two Souls

Part 12 - Arcana Emperor and Empress

Takuya eventually met back up with Yukari and Junpei, he was quick to explain to them what Shinjiro had explained to him. After he finished explaining, the three felt it was only best that they head back to the dorm.

Returning back to the dorm, the three were greeted by Mitsuru who was sitting at the couch in the lounge area. Her face had a stern glare painted on it, her posture was straight with both her arms and legs crossed expectedly.

"Oh, hey senpai." Junpei said once the three noticed the red-haired girl.

"Where were you three?" Mitsuru questioned which caused Junpei to stiffen nervously.

"Yukari wanted us to do some investigating." Takuya began explaining "We were just asking around, found out some useful stuff. I'll let them explain it because I'm tired." he finished before walking up the stairs while leaving both Yukari and Junpei stunned.

Takuya walked down the hall towards the door to his room, once he reached it he dug in his pants pocket for the key and was about to unlock it when he heard the door across from him open. He turned around to be faced by his sister.

"Hey Miyuki." Takuya said with a soft smile on his face.

"Hiya Takuya, where'd you go with Junpei and Yukari?" Miyuki asked in response.

"Nowhere special, Yukari wanted to investigate that ghost story." He answered.

"Really?" Miyuki asked with a slight tilt of her head.

"Yes, really." Takuya answered "You know I wouldn't lie to you."

"Well it's nice of you to help her." Miyuki replied in a chipper tone.

"How'd your afternoon with Rio go?" Takuya asked hoping to change the subject.

"Oh it was great!" Miyuki began, as she spoke Takuya began to cough which cut the girl off as she curiously focused on her brother who coughed into his hand.

"You okay?" Miyuki asked concerned.

"Yeah, I'm fine...I think I need to lay down." Takuya answered without moving his hand from his mouth "I'm sorry, I'll talk to you tomorrow." he added before retreating to his room, Miyuki couldn't help but be worried.

Inside his room, Takuya had his back to the closed door as he finally moved his hand from his mouth to see blood in his palm.

"Great...I got hurt worse than I thought." Takuya groaned out "I've lived through worse." as he said that he started to think about that girl again, Fuuka Yamagishi. He had just barely gotten to know her and now she might be dead, a thought like that could chill anyone and he wasn't entirely sure if he wanted to know what became of her.

His thoughts were cut off when he realized the blood from his hand had begun to drip onto his uniform shirt, he quickly tossed it off and sighed.

"Great....I should have another uniform shirt somewhere, now I just have to hope Junpei and Yukari don't tell anyone else what happened." Takuya muttered to himself.

For the next day, things returned mostly to normal however Takuya couldn't shake this feeling of unease due to Fuuka's unknown situation as well as knowing that a full moon was fast approaching. June 7th rolled around, it was Sunday so it was a free day but Takuya knew that tomorrow would be when the moon would be full once again.

Takuya left his room that morning, dressed for a day of doing basically nothing, heading down the stairs he saw that the only other person in the dorms at the moment was Mitsuru who was on the couch of the lounge area reading.
