Persona 3 : Two Souls

Part 36 - Kyoto

November 17th, that was the day that they'd be leaving for the class trip to Kyoto. The train was scheduled to arrive in the afternoon, meaning they'd be boarding this morning. Takuya wasted no time that morning before joining him dormmates on their way to the train station they had been instructed to go to instead of school that day. As the junior and seniors of the student body all sat on the train on their way to Kyoto, Takuya found himself hoping this school trip would be something worth remembering.

Once their train had arrived that afternoon, everyone got off the began to group around the exit of the station. Looking around for everyone else, Miyuki noticed Yukari who was looking off in Mitsuru's direction. Mitsuru was talking with Fuuka and Aigis and she seemed to be enjoying herself, looking around a bit more led to her seeing her brother talking to Akihiko and Junpei.

"Miyuki-chan." Ryoji said causing the girl to let out a surprised "Eep!" as she turned to look at the black-haired boy behind her "Oh sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."

"Oh, it's fine." Miyuki replied "I was just...surprised is all."

"Kyoto sure is beautiful, isn't it?" Ryoji asked.

"I've only ever seen pictures of it but I think so." Miyuki replied "I hope it's as pretty in real life as it is in pictures."

"Alright everyone!" Ms.Toriumi "We need to all transfer to a tour bus to reach Godaigo Inn at Higashiyama-ku." Ryoji smirked as he heard this. "Alright Miyuki-chan, we can talk later. For now we should follow everyone to the buses."

Everyone packed themselves into a handful of buses, just Takuya's luck he'd end up on a bus with no one else he knew. While sitting on that bus with his headphones on, he felt a tap on his shoulders, looking up he saw a girl who looked up two years younger than him standing over him. Her hair was a very light pink that was almost silver and tied up in a ribbon.

"Can I help you?" Takuya asked as he took out his headphones.

"My bag." the girl replied as she pointed at him, he stood up and saw that he had been sitting on this girl's bag. She picked it up and slung it over her shoulder.

"My bad." Takuya apologized. "Where you headed?"

"What's it to you?" the girl replied with a scoff.

"Your bag is Seven Sisters, that school is in Sumaru City which is nowhere near Kyoto." Takuya explained "Just thought it was interesting, that's all."

"If you must know...I'm here staying with family, my parents are working overseas and I'm staying here in Kyoto until they get done." the girl explained as she sat down, Takuya took this as an invitation to sit down next to her.

"That happen often?" Takuya asked.

"Almost every other year." the girl answered with a groan "It's a drag."

"Sounds like it." Takuya replied with a light chuckle. "I'm Takuya Shiomi."

"Dude, you givin' me your name?" she asked kind of shocked.

"It's called being polite, kiddo." he replied with a smirk, she growled at this.

"Don't call me kiddo, dammit." she complained "I'm fifteen, I'm not a child."

"And I'm seventeen so I have every right to call you kiddo." he replied with a laugh.

"Fine...I'm Keiko." Keiko introduced herself still obviously annoyed, he let the silence hang for a minute before she let out a groan when she realized what he was waiting for "Namikawa, alright? I'm Keiko Namikawa, you geezer." she complained.
