+HIKARU+

Momo's and Hikaru's injuries weren't as intense as Shinji's so they didn't need to visit the hospital. A bottle of painkillers and band-aids fixed up their problems pretty quick. But unlike Momo, Hikaru couldn't hide his scars and people who didn't know about the dark hour constantly asked him if he was in an abusive relationship or something.

+FLEANCE+

Fleance was still confused about the whole 'persona' deal. There hadn't been a shadow attack since two weeks ago, so for all he knew, it had been nothing but a dream. Like yesterday and the day before, Fleance stayed in his room, playing video games. He was playing a popular fighting game online and his opponent was someone named xXno.1 badassXx, though his fighting skills were anything but badass. Lance had won three times in a row already.

+MOMO+

Momo was in his room, also playing video games. And as you might have guessed, he was xXno.1 badassXx that Lance was fighting.

+KIMIKO+

" Did you get the one I sent you?" Kimiko asked over the phone, flipping through her photo album. One the other end was Kisa Kamiya, the president of the S.S.S fanclub, or better known as '★ SHINJI-SANADA-SEMPAI FANCLUB ★'. She was talking about a picture she had taken of Shinji when he was in the hospital. She had been a real ninja about it too and took it while Shinji was sleeping.

" Yes! HE'S LIKE AN ANGEL," The other girl on the line squealed.

Kimiko laughed and agreed with her friend. A knock at her door pulled her away from her conversation. " Hold on." She said as she opened the door. " Oh! Shinji, what are you doing here?" She asked, loud enough for Kisa to hear over the phone. A loud squeal could be heard over the line and Kimiko pressed the phone against her chest to silence it, smiling up at Shinji.

++ CLEAFEN ++

Cleafen smiled as he layed down on Fleance's bed, watching him play video games. "Wow, you're pretty good at that game. Or does your opponent just suck?"he commented. "Are you good at fighting in reality, Lance?"

However, Cleafen abruptly vanished, and not two seconds later a robot Pikachu ran into Fleance's room with a computer mouse in it's mouth.

++ PIKACHU ++

"PIKA, PIKA PIKACHU!!!"

Pikachu burst into Momo's room out of nowhere, excited to be free to run around again. After being deactivated and cooped up in Shinji's room, he needed to catch up on Momo's daily torment.

The robot swatted the computer mouse out of Momo's hand. Then, in the blink of an eye, Pikachu swiftly ran out of Momo's room carrying his mouse in his mouth.

He then burst into Fleance's room the same way and dropped the controller next to him. "PIKA, PIKA PIKACHU!" At the end of his battle cry, Pikachu ran on top of the bed and...fell asleep. He was exhausted after saving his fellow electronic mouse from the likes of Momo.

++ SUNAKO ++

Sunako heard noise upstairs and walked up to Momo's room, taking a wild guess that he was most likely to blame. "Are you okay, Momo?"she asked.

++ SHINJI ++

"You're loud friend doesn't need to hear about the Dark Hour."he told Kimiko before snatching her phone and hanging up on whoever it was that squeeled. He invited himself inside her room and just walked in, sitting on her bed next to the photo album. It was easier on his ribs for him to sit down, but he didn't think it was necessary to explain this to Kimiko. Fortunately, he didn't notice that all of the pictures were of him.

"Jonathon won't let me fight shadows because of my injuries, so will you take Pikachu into battle for me until I've recovered?"he asked. Shinji didn't trust that Fleance guy, Pikachu always picked on Momo, Sunako stayed behind on the first floor, and Hikaru would probably have his hands full watching over Kenji. Shinji stood up from the bed and walked up to Kimiko, though he stopped just as he as about to exit the room.

"And...I never thanked you. I was still conscious when Jonathon arrived at the attack two weeks ago. You didn't leave me to die in the street."he thanked, a slight smile barely noticeable on his lips.

++ KENJI ++

Kenji, after watching so much anime on the Internet, couldn't help but think that Hikaru resembled a character Reborn! His red hair and bandages on his face just screamed Enma Kozato.

Anyways, Kenji was doing his homework in Hikaru's room while he waited for him to come back. "Lets see...If we were to add a piece of solid Cu to an aqueous solution of silver nitrate.....um..."he mummbled, just writing down 12 because its a pretty number.

+FLEANCE+

In the middle of his fourth battle, Fleance heard a voice from behind him. The voice sounded strangely familiar and a chill ran up his spine. Slowly, and I mean very slowly, Fleance turned around to see who was in his room, but when he did, he found there was no one there. He looked over at his bed to find the yellow mouse from two weeks ago sleeping on his bed. Since Pikachu had been cooped up in Shinji's room, Lance hadn't seen him since that night, also believing that the yellow robot was also a dream. But now that it was alive and in front of him, Lance did nothing but stare at it.

With his game completely forgotten, he went over to the sleeping Pikachu and poked it's red circled cheeks. " Hey....were you the one talking to me right now?" He asked softly, having said more words to Pikachu then to anyone else at the dorm.

+MOMO+

" Come back here you shitty ass robot!" Momo yelled, running down the hall, following Pikachu who had stolen his computer mouse. These two weeks without the stupid rodent robot had been like heaven for the silver haired teen. But now that the robotic devil was back, he missed those weeks of peace. He followed Pikachu all the way to the new kid's door and barged right in, going up beside Lance's bedside and violently grabbing his mouse that was at Pikachu's side. " Damn rat." he cursed, looking over at Fleance. He and the new guy hadn't really talked since he arrived and Momo was planning to keep it that way; the kid was just too damn weird.

Huffing, Momo turned to leave Lance's room when he noticed his computer screen. The new kid was playing FIGHTING EXTRAVAGANZA ONLINE FTW, just like he had been doing before Pikachu stole his mouse. And from the looks of it, Lance didn't pause his game but the two characters were not moving. He narrowed his eyes enough to catch his opponents name. " DAMMIT! YOU'RE THAT GUY!" He yelled, spinning around to point an accusing finger at Fleance. " HOW THE HELL DO YOU KE-AH!" In the middle of his sentence, he grabbed his chest. He had been so busy yelling that he didn't notice that one of his stitches in his chest opened up due to running after Pikachu.

Noticing this, Lance got to his feet and went past Momo and out into the hall, hearing Sunako's voice by Momo's room. He waved her down and pointed inside his room, " He needs help."

+HIKARU+

Though school had ended hours ago, Hikaru had to stay behind for the art club. Coincidentally, his brother-in-law, Kieran ran the club and he got on fairly well with him. But he did feel sorry for the poor guy, he knew what a bitch his sister could be. Sighing as he entered the dorm, he heard Momo's shouting as he walked through the door and took off his shoes. Ah, home sweet home. He went up the flight of stairs until he reached the second floor and slipped into his room, not wanting to be apart of whatever was going on outside with Momo and the new guy.

It wasn't surprising to find Kenji in his room and he smiled when he saw that he was doing homework. Good for him! Walking over, Hikaru peeked over his shoulder to see what he was working on. He read the question but frowned at the answer. Ah, sometimes.... But instead of saying anything outloud, he just patted Kenji on the head and smiled, " I love you."

+KIMIKO+

" Oh, yeah, sure." Kimiko smiled, praying to some higher power that Shinji didn't look over and notice that the photo album contained pictures of him throughout the years; some she had taken herself, some she had sneaked out of his room. Gladly, he didn't and got up without seeing anything. She almost sighed in relief, but her breath caught in her throat when he thanked her. " It's no problem," She smiled softly, a blush filling her cheeks. Oh, if only she had her camera with her! She needed to take a picture of Shinji and his adorable smile!! She and the rest of the girls in S.S.S would have a field day....or maybe she would keep it for herself......

+KISA+

" Kimiko? Kimikooooooo?" Kisa asked, wondering what happened. She didn't hear what Shinji had said so she was unaware that he was the one who hung up. " Humph, she hung up." She told Shizuka, her boyfriend. He merely shrugged his shoulders and handed her a small piece of chocolate to sooth her oncoming temper tantrum.

+MIZUKI+

" Uh-huh," Mizuki said over the phone, flipping through the channels on her t.v. She couldn't believe it, 200 channels and nothing to watch. She even made Kieran get some fancy cable from America so she had something entertaining to watch, but even with that much channels, there was still nothing to watch. In the end, she settled on some children's television show about people who rode on motorcycles while playing a card game. " Mmmm-hmmm," She said again, only half listening to her boss, Mr.Takaba, who was on the other line. She and her husband Kieran worked for him as his persona assassins. Right now he was telling her about a job that needed doing, but he was getting so much into detail about it that she stopped listening after the first few sentences. " Okay, I understand." She said, cutting him off. " He'll be dead by tonight." And with that she ended the call and returned her attention on the children's show, pleasantly amused.

+LUDWIG+

Ludwig, who had been in the middle of his story as to why he wanted this man to be killed stared at his phone with a sad expression. He took great enjoyment in explaining his plans, but Mizuki never wanted to hear them.....

But he didn't have time to sulk for too long because his son/daughter walked into his office with a smile on his/her face," Papa! I had the most wondrous idea!!" He/she sang, twirling around in joy. It seemed today that Miharu wanted to be a girl because he had his wig on and his very short skirt.

Ludwig plastered on a smile and prepared himself to listen to his daughter's outlandish idea.

+RYUU+

Ryuu was eating a hamburger. He was in an airport in America, happily enjoying a hamburger at McDonalds. His plane was going to leave in a few hours, so he decided to grab a burger first.

++ SUNAKO ++

Sunako, confused about the situation, walked over to Fleance's room. "What's going on?"she asked, poking her head into the room only to see Momo clutching his chest. "Ah? Oh no, Momo!"she gasped, running to his side. Full of concern for her friend, she pressed Pikachu's cheeks in a weird order. The robotic rodent awoke and he spat out a first aid kit from his mouth. Shinji installed it after he got pwned by the shadow and, luckily for Sunako, Shinji explained to her his plans before he started enhancing Pikachu.

After much trial and error, Sunako figured out how to help her suffering friend using the first aid kit!

++ CLEAFEN ++

"Hello there, Lance."greeted Cleafen, who was standing out in the hallway. "There will be another attack soon, be careful my love!"

He blew an air kiss at Lance before vanishing once more.

++ JONATHON ++

Jonathon was sitting in front of an intimidating mafioso family, attempting to explain why their beloved Shinji was hurt. They knew about the existance about the Dark hour, despite none of them having the potential.

The don angrily stared down Jonathon while he spoke.

"Despite the weapons I provided, despite having Pikachu by his side, he still was injured by those creatures? Jonathan Takeba, fighting against other humans is one thing, but these shadows are on a whole different level. That is why I am sending my son, Kyoya, to watch over him."

Jonathon didn't expect him to send a popstar to protect Shinji. "Thank you." was all he could say. Kyoya Sanada was the leader before Shinji took over, before he decided to quit fighting shadows to pursue his dream of becoming a popstar.

Therefore, not all of the current persona users are aware that Kyoya Legacy used to battle shadows.

"I just hope fangirls don't swarm the dorm..."

++ KENJI ++

A huge smile was on Kenji's face and he looked up at his darling Hikaru. "I love you too!"he replied, glad that his beloved finally returned home. He stood and gave him a hug, sincerely having missed him for the few hours he was gone. The shadow attack left Kenji paranoid about losing him and Sousuke's departure to America didn't help either. That night, Kenji probably would have jumped off the roof to go after Hikaru if Sousuke didn't stop him. "Did you have fun at art club?"

++ KYOYA ++

"Jesus help me...!"

A stampede of fangirls and fanboys chased the famous popstar out of the airport and into the street. A good hour had passed and neither Kyoya or the fans were slowing down. "This is worse than the bulls in Spain!" he yelled, running blindly in random directions. Kyoya spotted a man about to close a gate.

"Waaaaait!"

Kieran, about to close the gates to the school, got tackled by some guy. "What in the world?"said the bewildered man, watching the guy who tackled him finish closing the gates. Kieran stood up and dusted off his clothes, about to ask the guy what his problem was when a huge swarm of mostly squeeling girls gathered around the gate.

"We looooooove you Kyoya Legacy!"

Kieran, realizing what was going on, walked back into the school with Kyoya and left his psycho fanbase waiting by the closed gates.

"Thank you so much! I have no idea how we're going to get out of here later but I finally escaped them." said Kyoya, drinking some water from a fountain. Kieran just chuckled, amused that a random popstar was taking shelter at the school. "You would be great for our track team." commented Kieran.

++ AVIDO && LENALEE ++

"She sure has strange sleeping habits..."commented a young man who only went by Avido. He smiled and closed his closet door. For the past five hours, he devoted his time to ironing and organizing every article of clothing that belonged to him. The closet space was so large that he could probably convert it into a shopping mall if he wanted to.

Avido, wearing a pirate outfit excluding the hat, walked over to his desk and grabbed a journal he sometimes wrote in. He gently sat down on his bed, not wanting to wake up the sleeping woman next to him, flipped to a blank page, and began to write.

It's been two weeks since I found Lenalee wandering the streets, lost on the night of a full moon. I was returning from another successful mission when I spotted her walking alone in the middle of the road. I gave her the clothes I stole from that bitch I met at the anime convention the weekend prior to that night, because the poor girl didn't have anything on. When I asked her name, she didn't have one of those either! I felt sorry for the girl, so I brought her home and dubbed her Lenalee Matsuda. Then-

"Hm? Why'd my pencil break?"he asked himself, turning his pencil over and observing the broken tip. He sighed and put the journal on the stand next to his bed. Avido looked over at slumbering Lenalee once more, wishing he could speak to her. He got out of bed and went over to the window, closing the curtains so the room wouldn't be so bright. Avido smiled and pulled the covers over her before heading towards the exit.

Just before he left the bedroom, he looked back at Lenalee once more.

"Sweet dreams, sleeping beauty..."

++ MICHAEL && MILTON ++

"Hey, Michael."said Milton, poking his attendant in the head. "I need more shampoo. Can you go get some for me?"

Michael sighed and replied with a bored tone, "Sure...why not."

Michael put down the broom he was using to sweep the floor and didn't bother changing clothes when he left the velvet room. Sadly, unbeknownst to Michael, Milton fucked up the door earlier so he ended up in an American airport rather than a Japanese market. "Milton is a damn idiot."growled Milton, who got numerous stares from people because he appeared out of nowhere dressed in strange clothing.

Deciding that he might as well take his time, Michael sat down next to some kid. He glanced over at the item in his hands and looked confused. It appeared to be some sort of deformed sausage pizza? "Excuse, but what is that you are eating?"he asked the kid eating the hamburger. He didn't know much about this other world, except for random things that Milton asked him to buy such as shampoo or pizza.

++ SHINJI && PIKACHU ++

"Pikachu!"shouted the robot as he proudly exited Fleance's room. He successfully made up for two weeks in just a few minutes! Now, to go back to sleep somewhere...

"Piiika?"

Pikachu looked at Fleance curiously, then glancing to where Cleafen was before wandering over to Kimiko's room. Shinji nodded and was about to leave when he saw Pikachu. "So there you are."he said, bending over to pick up Pikachu. He craddled him in his arms as he spoke to him. "Kimiko said she would watch over you. Say thank you, Pikachu."

Pikachu hopped onto his shoulders and waved at Kimiko. "Piiiiikachu Pika!"

++ SOUSUKE ++

Sousuke was at an American McDonalds, amazed at how large their small soda was. "This is amazing...and for such a cheap price too!"he said, taking a picture on his camera. He was going to show Kenji a bunch of strange America things when he got back.

+MOMO+

Like an angel, Sunako came to Momo's aid, fixing him up with a handy first aid kit. He didn't know how she did it, but his stitches were all back in place and he was fixed! Hoorah! With the pain fading away, Momo grabbed Sunako's hand, " T-Thank you." He breathed, finding this to be his perfect chance to get closer to Sunako.

+FLEANCE+

Fleance watched the scene from afar, wondering where Sunako had gotten her medical experience. Did she work in a hospital before this?

"Pikachu!"

Lance watched as Pikachu jumped off his bed and scampered off down the hall. A blush filled his cheeks as he watched Pikachu bounce off, taken with it overall adorableness. He made a mental note to ask Shinji where he had gotten Pikachu and if he could get one too. As he watched Pikachu run off, he noticed someone standing in the hall.

Damn, this kid again?! Lance took a step backwards into his room and looked behind him to see if Sunako and Momo could see him too, but they were too wrapped up in each other to notice. Damn. Turning back, Lance caught the end of the strange kid's sentence. Another attack?

" Did you guys see that?" Lance asked, pointing to the empty hallway were Cleafen once stood.

+HIKARU+

Hikaru welcomed Kenji's hug and returned it with a smile. "Mn, fun is a word that could describe it..." He trailed off. He didn't know why he had joined the art club anyway, he was terrible at drawing! Maybe it was to get to know his foreign brother-in-law better? Pulling away from Kenji's hug, he tapped the chemistry worksheet, " This is wrong." He wasn't an expert at chemistry, since he was only a freshman, but he knew enough to tell that 12 wasn't the right answer. " My brother-in-law is the chemistry teacher, want me to call him to help?"

+KIMIKO+

Kimiko was about to have a nosebleed because of the cute scene infront of her. Shinji and Pikachu, together? Baaaaa. It was just too good to be true! " Aw, I don't mind. Especially for you Pikachu!" She smiled, wiggling her finger at the yellow robot.

+RYUU+

Ryuu was almost through with his delicious burger when a strange man sat down next to him. He didn't think anything of it at first because he was too enthralled with the glorious taste of the unhealthy meat sandwhich to take notice, but he did looked up when the man said something to him. " F'his?" He asked through a mouth full of bread and meat, " F'his ish ah hamburgeh." He explained, not yet swallowing his food. Did this man in under a rock or something? EVERYONE knew what a burger was! Didn't they....?

The man was speaking in Japanese, but still, there hamburgers in Japan! Maybe he was one of those really conservative people who didn't like western things. That meant he knew nothing of how awesome this burger tasted!!

" 'Ere!!" Ryuu smiled, shoving the burger inches from the man's face, swallowing his food. " You should have some man! They're really awesome and totally good for you! I once knew this guy who ate nothing but burgers, and he lived until he was a hundred and six? Can you believe that? Nothing but burgers and he lived to be that old! Isn't that awesome?!" He rambled, shaking the burger repeatedly in the man's face.

+TOHRU+

It had been a fairly normal day for Tohru. He had spent the day at his numerous jobs, stocking shelves and flipping hot dog wieners, things like that. From what Raichu had told him, Shinji had locked himself in his room for the past week or so. Tohru presumed it was for the best, since he had broken ribs and all, but it made stalking him a terribly boring job. Sighing, he pushed his bucket of water across the second floor of the school building, mop in hand. Since there was hardly anyone around since the clubs were over and done with, Raichu walked carelessly beside him, on all fours instead of his hind legs.

" Ah," He sighed again, dunking the mop in the dirty water and began mopping the floor. Being a janitor was a crappy job, but this was the only way he could keep an eye on Shinji when he returned to school later on. To pass the time, Tohru looked out the conveniently placed windows in the hall as we pushed the mop around, watching the wonderful nature. The trees, the birds, the clouds, the rapid fangirls, the green grass, the- wait, what?

Tohru had to take a double take.

Why was there a hoard of crazy teenage girls behind the school gates? He went closer to the window to get a better look of what was going on outside, Raichu climbing up his shoulder to do the same. His eyebrows rose when he saw Kieran, the man with as many jobs as he had, standing with Kyoya. Huh. His father did say that the Sanada family was also sending one of their own to take care of Shinji, but he didn't think it would be Kyoya. Afterall, he gave up the persona life to become a popstar, which he succeeded in very well. " Hmm," Tohru hummed, forgetting the mop in his hand and tilting his head sideways, enjoying the stalkerish view he had of Kyoya from the second floor. Kyoya had been his team leader back in the day and Tohru always had a soft spot for him, but it had been so long since he had seen him. He hoped that the other had stayed the same over the years and didn't develop a massive ego from being a popular popstar.

" Raiiii~" Raichu poked Tohru's cheek with his stubby arm, waving his other arm.

" You're right," Tohru frowned and looked at the watch around his wrist. His other job was going to start soon, so reuniting with Kyoya would have to be put off until later.

+MIZUKI+

It was well past six o'clock and Mizuki was beginning to get irritated. Kieran should've been home by now dammit! His stupid clubs or whatever only lasted until 5:30 and with that expensive bike she had got him last year for Christmas, he could make it from school to their house in less then ten minutes. So where the hell was he? Mizuki paced around the living room, her cell phone in hand, debating whether or not to call the idiot. He was more then thirty minutes late and that was more then enough time for him to cheat. Not like anything in Kieran's past would lead Mizuki to suspect he was cheating, he had been nothing but loyal to her, but still, he possibility was always there!

" Dammit!" She cursed, gripping her phone so hard that she heard a crack. She looked down to find that the touch screen had cracked. Oh well, she needed a new one anyway.

+LUDWIG && MIHARU+

" See Papa, don't you like my idea?" Miharu asked over the loud music. He was a guy again, with wig off and pants on this time. Ludwig nodded, though his eyes looked unsure. " Sohn," he said in his native tongue, " Are you sure this is a good idea? Everyone is so.....young." And it was true! The people in the club were all twenty somethings while Ludwig was in his late fifties.

" Of course Papa! Girls like a sugar daddy anyway!" Miharu winked to a guy across the dance floor.

++ HIBIRD && KYOYA && KIERAN ++

"Excuse me ladies and gentlemen, I believe you wished to kidnap my beautiful self to thrust onto me your forbidden desires~~? Well, my wonderful kittens, try and catch me!"

Every head in the rabid mob turned towards the sweet, smooth voice of Kyoya Legacy. "KYAAAAAA~!"cheered the fans. Kyoya winked and started to run again, leading the drooling men and women away from the school gates. He grinned as he ran into an alleyway, and to the surprise of the fans who followed him, Kyoya Legacy had disappeared.

Kieran heard more cheering and checked out the window, but he saw a tumbleweed roll where the crowd stood earlier. "Everybody left?"he stated in shock. Then a tiny, plump bird randomly flew pass Kieran and perched itself onto Kyoya's shoulder.

"Tweet!"chirped Hibird happily.

"What's that bird? How'd it get inside?"asked Kieran, staring at it. Wow...its so...cute. he thought, blushing at the adorable sight in front of him.

"This is Hibird, she's my loyal friend."informed Kyoya, gently patting her on the head. He smiled and stood beside Kieran, viewing the wonderful scenery outside the window. "Thank goodness, the coast is clear!"

The two parted ways and Kyoya made it to the dorm without being noticed. He happily knocked on the door, hoping that Shinji would answer the door. He turned to Hibird and asked, "So...you didn't make me say anything embarassing or sound obnoxious right?"

Hibird joyously chirped and nodded her head, causing Kyoya to sigh. "Awww man...you did, didn't you?"

Kieran, meanwhile, gulped as he unlocked his door and stepped inside. He was late and his wife would be pissed. "Mizuki...I'm home!"he called out, but there was his darling waiting for him in the living room. "Ah, sorry I'm late."he apologized.

++ MICHAEL ++

Michael tilted his head to the side. "That...thing is good for you?"he asked suspiciously, noticing all of the grease and condiments oozing from the hamburger. He hesitated grabbing the grease monster, cautious about staining the white gloves over his pale hands, but curiousity got the better of him. "Hm, I suppose I've consumed worse food."he reasoned. The white haired gentlemen bit into the burger. Ah, he could taste the pesticide on the lettuce and tomatoes, the chemicals in the meat patty, the salt, the ugh....

"Yes, I have consumed worse food."he concluded, thinking about Milton's horrid cooking. "Thank you for enlightening me in the ways of hamburgers, young man."

++ MILTON && JONATHON ++

Milton, feeling lonely because Michael did not return yet, decided to neglect his duties in the velvet room and drown his depression at a night club.

"Here is your apple juice, sir."said Jonathon, who poured the artificially flavored drink into the customer's wine glass. Jonathon felt a little sorry for the man, who introduced himslef as Milton. He was sitting all by himself on the second floor, drinking fake apple juice.

++ KENJI ++

Kenji shook his head. "No...its okay. I'm afraid of your sister answering the phone."he admitted. Mizuki was his homeroom teacher and the last thing he wanted to do was fail because he bothered her, or something. "Thank you, though. I'll look at my notes, I guess..."he said, remembering that he had notes in his folder.

++ SHINJI && PIKACHU ++

As Pikachu waved to Kimiko, Shinji heard a knock on the door. "Can you get that? Or tell somebody else to? I think its my cousin, and I don't want to be seen speaking to him in public."he sighed, leaving the room and walking upstairs. The last thing he needed was for a fangirl to see him talking to Kyoya, figure out they're realated, and decide to kidnap Shinji as a hostage in exchange for a date with Kyoya Legacy.

++ AVIDO && LENALEE ++

Meanwhile, Avido and Lenalee also entered Club Escapade. "This, is a night club! Usually depressed or unsatisfied people show up here, interesting huh?"he asked, holding onto Lenalee's hand as he gave her a tour of the Paulownia mall area. "I'm gonna use the restroom, so hang around here and wait for me okay?"

"Sure."answered Lenalee and she began to walk around the night club. Both her and Avido were dressed normal, because he didn't want her to attract to much attention at the club and be stolen away by some other man.

++ SUNAKO ++

Blushing a bit when Momo took her hand, she smiled. "You're welcome!"She was glad that she guessed everything right.

"Did you guys see that?"

Sunako pulled her hand away and went into the hallway to see what Fleance was talking about. She didn't see anything unsual. "No, but if you ask Shinji, you can watch whatever Pikachu saw."she remembered. They were on the third floor, so she didn't really hear the door.

♫ ludwig & miharu ♫

" Look Papa!" Miharu said, pointing to a nice looking girl, standing alone on the dance floor. She was young, but Ludwig like young girls anyway. " How about her?"

Ludwig turned to see who his son was referring to. Once his eyes landed on the girl, he was instantly mesmerized. Yes, she looked younger, atleast twenty years younger then him, but not young enough to be in highschool. Yes! No law suits for him!
" Do you think she'll be interested?" he asked his son as if he was the matchmaking King....or Queen.

" Of course! I see the reckless abandon in her eyes! It says, " I love older men! Come at me like a wild beast!!" Miharu exclaimed, pushing his father towards the girl. " Go talk to her!!" He was happy that his father found someone he was interested in, but the main reason to his enthusiasm was that he just saw a hottie enter the men's restroom and he was eager to go talk to him. But he couldn't do that if his father was hanging around him. " Go! Go! Go!"

With his son's encouragement, Ludwig approached the girl in the least creepiest way he knew how, " Hello." He smiled, " Would you like a drink?"

Miharu on the other hand went in the opposite direction towards the men's restroom. He slipped through the door and noticed that only one stall was being used. Perfect!! Getting into the stall beside it, he rummaged through his bag and found his portable wig. It was a little messy but a few go throughs with a brush fixed that right up. It wasn't the longest wig he owned, but it got the job done. It was black like the rest of his wigs and was shoulder length with curls at the bottom.

The next thing out of his bag was a black short skirt. There was no way he could pick up someone with pants on. He changed into his skirt and folded the pants, placing it behind the toilet. His bag was big, but it wasn't big enough to hold his pants. A hobo would be happy to find them. He also did the same with his shoes since he had a pair of heels in his bag. The shirt he had been wearing was feminine enough, he just had to slip on a padded bra and stuff some toilet paper to make it look like he had some boobs.

He exited the stall and made sure the guy was still in the stall. He was. Miharu quickly went to the mirror to check his make-up. He had been wearing some before changing , but he added some lipstick to make himself look more like a woman.
Once the transformation was complete, he waited for the man to exit, leaning against the sink. When he heard the toilet flush and the door unlock, Miharu batted his eyelids, " Hey sexy." he winked at the brown haired gentlemen.

♫ kisa & shizuka ♫

" Hmph, Kimiko is so lucky! She lives with Shinji!!" Kisa complained as they walked into Club Escapade. Shizuka quietly nodded and opened the door for her. " If only I could live there too!" She went immediately to the second floor where the bar was. She was too young to get anything alcoholic, so she ordered fruit juice. She was almost as depressed as the man she was sitting next to. " Have you seen how big their dorm is?! There has to be enough room for at least one more...."

She flipped open her phone and stared at her screensaver for some comfort. Instead of it being a picture of her boyfriend, it was of Kyoya Legacy, her most favorite popstar and future husband. Oh yeah, did I mention that the S.S.S fanclub had a side club called the K.L.S club? Kyoya Legacy Stalker fanclub. More then half the female population was apart of it.

Shizuka merely nodded.

♫ tohru & raichu ♫

Tohru was clipping a hedge in his employer's lawn when he heard a scream. " Hmmmm, rape?" He questioned, wondering if he should abandon his landscaping job to go investigate. He was close to Shinji's dorm and it could be another shadow attack, even though it wasn't the Dark Hour, but as he ran the scream over and over in his head, he decided it was more of a fangirlish scream then if it was a rape or an attack.

" Rai! Rai-Rai!" Raichu pulled on Tohru's pant leg. " Ah, you're right." He echoed his words from before, checking his watch again.

Not even ten minutes later, Tohru was behind the DJ machine at Club Escapade. Raichu was sitting behind a speaker, happily enjoying the music playing, staying out of sight so no one would complain of poor pest control.

Tohru looked out into the crowd and noticed an old, blonde man speaking to a young woman. The girl didn't look threatened nor did the man seem violent, but still, Tohru kept an eye on them. He had a part time job as a security guard so he owned a gun and had permission to use it if necessary. If only he had it with him now....or at least a night stick.

Since he didn't have a weapon, he decided to stay in the background, watching the scene as it played out. In the meantime, he put Kyoya's latest album in the DJ thingy and his music blasted through the club

♫ mizuki ♫

Mizuki cracked her knuckles when the door opened, a grin spreading across her face. " Oh, sweetie, you're home." She forced out through gritted teeth, approaching her husband with her fists clenched. When she finally got close enough, she grabbed Kieran's black hair and pulled his head down violently, examining his neck for lipstick stains. There wasn't any, but she didn't give up her search. She released his hair only to take hold of the collar of his shirt, pulling him forward. She sniffed along his collar, trying to find any perfume or sweet smelling shit like that, but he just smelt like he did everyday.

Shoving him backwards, Mizuki poked his chest, " Why were you late? Your idiotic clubs end at five thirty. That was forty fucking minutes ago? What did you do? Go see your other girlfriend? Go say hi to your other family? Is that it? Huh?" She poked his chest repeatedly after each sentence.

♫ ryuu ♫

" For sure! No problem!" Ryuu slapped his greasy hand on the man's back, his form of saying it was all cool. " You can have the rest of it if you want. That was my tenth one, so I'm pretty full! Hahahaha!!" he laughed obnoxiously, rubbing his permanently flat stomach. Scientists were still trying to figure out where all those calories and fat went.

Over the intercom, Ryuu's flight number was called out saying that the flight to Japan had been moved up a few hours. " Oh sweet! I was getting tired of waiting!" He got to his feet, " You going to Japan too?" He asked with nothing but pure curiosity.

♫ momo ♫

Momo's heart broke when Sunako pulled her hand away to go talk to Fleance. She had even blushed, looking all cute like, and that purple haired bastard went and messed all of that up!! Damn him!

Sighing, Momo retreated to his bedroom, defeated and heartbroken, and went to sleep, locking his door so the stupid Pikachu couldn't get in.

♫ kimiko ♫

" Okay." Kimiko agreed happily. She didn't want Shinji walking around too much incase he injured his rib again. Leaving Shinji in her room, something the rest of the S.S.S members only dreamed of, she went downstairs to the first floor and opened the door. Yes, she had been expecting a devilishly handsome man because any relative to Shinji was probably beauty but this was something was entirely.

Kyoya Legacy was at her door.

Kyoya. Legacy.

Her scream could be heard from all the way down the street.

♫ hikaru ♫

" Haha," Hikaru actually laughed out loud on that one. He didn't blame Kenji, even Kieran was probably scared of her. " Don't worry, everyone is scared of her." He laughed again and sat down on his bed, yawning as he did. " Do you want me to help? I don't understand chemistry very well, but I could tr--"

He was cut off by Kimiko's scream. " What the," He stood up and opened his door, going over to the railing and peeking over, " You okay Kimiko?" He asked, curious as to what was going on.

♫ fleance ♫

" Oh," Fleance said.

♥♥Avido♥♥

To Avido's surprise, when he opened the door he saw a woman leaning against the sink of the men's restroom. Or at least he thought it was the men's restroom.

"..." Avido stared at him in silence, hesitant to leave the stall. He couldn't put his finger on it but something about that woman looked...fake, like the cosplay he always wore. Either way, this woman obviously wanted him, and that would not do! Avido was already captivated and infatuated by Lenalee.
He slowly closed the door and crept back inside the stall to hide.

♥♥Lenalee♥♥

Lenalee stared at the second floor, studying a brown haired gentlemen drinking some sort of juice. She didn't know why but his aura seemed peculiar. "He's powerful."she concluded. Then a man with a sunshine colored hair approached her and asked if she would like a drink.

"No thank you waiter."she answered the strange man in front of her. Avido told her to recite that exact phrase if any other man besides him tried to offer her some sort of drink.
Lenalee titled her head to the side, her unique eyes wide as she tried to figure out why this person in front of her also gave off a different aura. It wasn't exactly the same as the brown haired man and she wanted to find out why. "Ah, I see. Your soul is a...worm."she concluded.

Then to her surprise, another person gave off a strange aura. She turned her head towards the DJ, sensing his different soul. Lenalee just walked away from the old man and stopped when she was close enough to speak to the DJ. "Your soul is a plant monster."she informed him.

♥♥Avido♥♥

Ten minutes in the stall was more than enough time for that woman to grow bored and leave, or at least for another man to come and distract her, but no the only bodies in the bathroom were still them two. Avido reached into his pocket and pulled out a tiny sphere. This should work...he thought, tossing the ball over the door. Avido didn't know what it hit, but what mattered was that the smokescreen worked. The entire bathroom became filled with grey smoke and Avido snuck out of the stall and ran back towards the dancefloor.

To his horror, he found Lenalee not in the spot he left her but talking to the DJ! "Nooooooo!"he shouted, sprinting across the dancefloor and shoving anyone who got in his way, including an old man, and gently grabbing Lenalee's hand.

"Let's go before more men hit on you and more women hit on me!"
When he saw Lenalee's head nod in agreement, the two dashed out of Club Escapade.

♥♥Milton♥♥

Surprisingly, the loud complaints of the young girl sitting next to him did not bother him. He continued sipping his juice and when he finished it, Milton felt a lot better than before. In order to skip out on the bill, Milton carelessly summoned the velvet room door. He randomly opened it and walked inside, despite the fact that the two teenagers on the second floor and anybody else who happened to be looking saw him.

♥♥Jonathan♥♥

"Where'd the man sitting next to you two go?"asked the waiter as he set down the juice. He didn't notice any of the strange things that happened because he was in the back mixing drinks together.

♥♥Kieran♥♥

Kieran backed up everytime Mizuki poked his chest and before he knew it, he was against the wall. The entire time he kept his mouth shut because he was trying to think how to explain to her what happened. She'd be pissed if he cheated, but Mizuki would be a thousand times angrier if she found out Kieran met Kyoya Legacy and she didn't. "I..."he began, stopping when he felt a sharp point in his pocket. Suddenly remembering he received an autographed CD not due for release until next month from Kyoya as thanks, he kissed Mizuki on the cheek. "...Went and got this for you, love."he said, showing her the CD.

Kyoya's handsome face was on the cover and inside on the actual disc, his signature blessed it.

♥♥Michael♥♥

"Ten...An impressive number."he said, holding the pile of hamburgers the child shoved into his hands. Michael merely observed him as he stood up and display no signs of obesity, thinking about how humans are so interesting. "Oh, yes I do need to go to Japan. My boss wants me to buy shampoo."he answered.

♥♥Hibird&Kyoya♥♥

Hibird flew on top of Kyoya's head as if his hair was a nest. The scream did not shock Kyoya and his ears weren't even bothered too much since he was so used to it. "I'll just let myself in then."he said with a charming smile, shutting the door behind him.

He began talking, knowing that she'd stop screaming in order to hear his wonderful voice. Probably.

"Hello, dear fan."he greeted, assuming that she was a fangirl. "Would you please do me a huge favor and take me to my beloved cousin, Shinji Sanada?"

♫ kisa&shizuka ♫

" Huh?" Kisa asked, breaking out of her rant to look over at the bartender. " Oh? I dunno." She answered shortly and turned back to Shizuka, picking up where she left off.

Unlike Kisa, Shizuka had seen what happened to the guy but decided to stay quiet about it. Even if he did tell the bartender what happened, chances are he wouldn't believe him.

The guy had summoned a door out of nowhere and disappeared through it for heaven's sake. Even Shizuka didn't believe what he saw. Maybe it was Kisa's ramblings that was making him see things.....somehow.

♫ ludwig ♫

"....A-a worm?" Ludwig repeated, wondering what the hell the girl was talking about. Of course he didn't think that she was talking about his persona, she was just a normal girl afterall and knew nothing about the dark hour or shadows or anything. Ludwig just presumed she said that to insult him. Well damn.

He watched as the girl walked off towards the DJ, his heart slowly breaking. He had been nothing but polite and even offered her a drink! Where had he gone wrong?! Maybe he was right all along and girls didn't like old men. Damn Miharu for lying to him!! Sighing, he started to go towards the bar when he was violently shoved by a guy who seemed to be in a great hurry. " Damn kids! Watch where you're going!" He yelled over the loud music, shaking his fist.

" Apple Martini." He said as he sat down at the bar, in the exact seat Milton had occupied only minutes earlier.

♫ miharu ♫

" Uwhaaaa!!" Miharu screamed in surprise as smoke filled the bathroom. His vision was instantly obscured so he didn't see Avido leave the stall and make it for safety. By the time the cosplayer was leaving the club, Miharu still didn't know what was going on and was trying to clear the smoke out of the room. When the grey smoke finally faded, Miharu went over to the stall only to find it empty. Damn it! That guy was like a freaking ninja or something!

" Shit!" He cursed outloud, slamming the stall door shut and stormed out of the room. How dare that guy make a break for it after he went through the trouble of transforming into a girl! He even put heels on for that bastard!

But not all was lost when Miharu noticed how cute the man behind the DJ system was. Fixing his hair, Miharu sauntered over to the DJ with one of his best smiles.

" Hey honey, wanna dance?"

♫ tohru&raichu ♫

" Here," Tohru said, crouching down behind the speaker system, placing a plate of small apple slices in Raichu's hands, " Save me some green ones!" He took one of the green skin apple slices and ate it, standing back up before people began to wonder where the DJ had gone. Raichu nodded and stuffed three pieces in his mouth at once and swallowed. Yes, he was a robot, but instead of batteries keeping him alive, Raichu had something similar to a human's digestive system and it used the calories and fat from food to keep Raichu running, so Tohru found himself feeding Raichu almost every chance he got.

As he was nibbling on his apple slice, a girl approached him. It was the girl from earlier and he rose an eyebrow. He expected her to request a song so it came as a surprise when she said something about a plant monster. Whoa, that took him by surprise.

" You mean....my persona?" He questioned just as a guy ran towards them and took the girl's hand. Before Tohru could get his answer, the pair ran off into the crowd and he watched as they left the club.

" How strange...." He whispered to himself, thinking about what the girl had said. If she really was talking about his persona, how did she know? Was she some sort of magician? Or another persona user? But then again, he had never met another persona user who knew someone else's persona just by looking at them. " Hm." He frowned, deciding not to think about it anymore. Kyoya's CD was coming to an end and he needed to find a new song...

" Hey honey, wanna dance?"

Tohru looked up to find a girl.......guy....standing infront of him with something very close to lust in his eyes. Oh god, today certainly wasn't his day. " Sorry," He shook his head, " I'm not into girls."

His face paled when the girl whipped her hair off faster then he could blink, " It's okay babe, I can go both ways." He leaned in towards Tohru, making the other back away, laughing nervously.

" Ah ha ha, so I see.....Sorry, but I belong to someone else." He lied smoothly. But it wasn't as smooth as he thought since it looked like Miharu wasn't buying it. " Well he's not here now, so lets dance!" Before Tohru could get away, Miharu grabbed his hand in a vice grip and pulled him out to the dance floor. Tohru almost called out to Raichu for help, but grabbed the black wig off from the floor instead. If he was going to dance with this guy, he might as well wear the wig since he was in a skirt and all.

♫ mizuki ♫

Every complaint or accusation that she had saved for this moment was instantly forgotten as soon as she laid eyes on Kyoya Legacy's face. Pushing away Kieran's face from her own, she grabbed the CD and examined it with great deal. She wasn't an idiot, she knew that this album wasn't going to come out for another month, so if Kieran had given her a fake, he would be sleeping on the couch for the rest of the month. But try as she might, she couldn't find anything wrong with the CD, so it must've been real. Plus, it had Kyoya Legacy's signature on it. She had spent enough times on the Legacy fan forums to know what his signature looked like. How Kieran had managed to get this, she didn't know, nor did she care.

Turning around, Mizuki went up the stairs, never tearing her eyes away from the CD cover. " We're going out tonight." She called out before she reached the top. " Shit's on the table." Before she started to flip her shit because of Kieran's tardiness, she had written down the guy's name and where they could find him before she forgot it all.

Doing what she needed to do, she went into their bedroom and put the CD in the stario and turned the volume as loud as it could go.

♫ ryuu ♫

" What?" Ryuu asked in surprise, " That's crazy!! Your boss must be supa rich to fly you all the way out to Japan just for shampoo!!"

♫ kimiko ♫

Just like Kyoya had thought, Kimiko stopped screaming to listen to his perfect voice. With him simply addressing her, her knees went weak and she could feel them shake. She had to hold on to the doorknob to keep her standing.

" O.....okay." She managed to say, making her way up the stairs with her wobbly knees. Sadly, she only made it to the second floor and her legs went out from under her. " Nyaaaa~♥♥" She swooned, pressing her hand against her forehead as she fell.

♫ hikaru ♫

Luckily for her, Hikaru was there to catch her. " Um, Shinji?" he called out, trying to steady Kimiko, " I think your cousin is here!" Hikaru, unlike most of the characters in this rp, wasn't all up on Kyoya's balls and had no clue who he was, so he didn't know why Kimiko was acting like this.

♥♥Jonathan♥♥

Jonathon sighed. "I see...enjoy your night."he told the teenagers. Just as he was about to leave an older man sat down and ordered a drink. Out of habit, a smile came to his face. "Right away sir."

He turned around and shook his head, still annoyed that the man from earlier didn't pay his bill. Jonathon descended down the flight of stairs and saw his co-worker Tohru being pulled from the...DJ stuff, by a man with a skirt on. Am I going crazy? he wondered. "I should order a drink for myself."he decided, watching as Tohru quickly placed a wig on the man.

"Yeah, that's the only way I'll make it through this night."
Jonathon didn't end up mixing a drink for himself and just made the apple martini. He returned from the back and went back up the stairs, giving the drink to the man. "Here is your apple martini, sir. Have a good night."he smiled. Wondering if he was the teenagers' grandfather or something, he asked, "Anything else you three need?"

Once he got their response, Jonathon went down to the dancefloor and noticed that Kyoya's CD was about to end. He glanced to where he last saw Tohru; the DJ was still dancing with the crossdresser. "Guess I'll have to change it."

Intending on playing Lovi Sky's CD, Jonathon headed towards the DJ system. To his surprise, when he got there, a giant yellow rat was sitting behind a speaker happily eating apples. "...Pikachu?" was his first guess, but Jonathon could tell that this creature was larger and darker than Shinji's robotic friend. The tail and ears were different as well.

♥♥Michael♥♥

Michael nodded. "Yes, he is, though I am uncertain as to how he obtains so much capital." he explained. "But I cannot fly, and he cannot grant me the power to fly. I have no wings."

Michael didn't have any wings, but he wondered if this child or any other human did. He certainly had never seen such a thing. "I opened a door and arrived here." he continued, not understanding that travelling through magically doors didn't happen to normal people and that the kid meant airplanes.

♥♥Milton♥♥

Milton, now back in the velvet room, wondered why Michael didn't return yet. He frowned and randomly took out a crystal ball. He didn't have TV, so looking into the crystal ball was his only form of entertainment besides being a douche to Michael. He placed hands over the sphere and closer his eyes. He took a deep breath and recited this spell:

"Chamillionairerebeccablackmichaeljordonbugsbunnyv egetashamugoku!"

The crystal ball began to cloud on the inside, and when Michael opened his eyes, he gazed into the smoke. Images began to form and he smiled.

"Let's see what happened in this world, earlier this morning..."

Michael saw two men in a kitchen. At first he wondered how this could be interesting and was about to look at a different moment in time, but suddenly a baby chicken fell through their roof. "Gun...?!"said Michael, watching a chick shoot a flamethrower at the two men. He blinked as he watched how eggs were thrown at the vengeful chicken, but sadly it died of a heartattack. Not bothering to watch the rest, Michael decided to look into the future. It wasn't very far, in fact only an hour from the present time.

A hobo walked into a boy, and the boy turned into a rat. The boy's clothes fell onto the floor and the hobo found his wallet. The hobo girl tried to steal said wallet, but the rat hung onto to it for dear life. Suddenly, smoke appeared and the rat turned back into a boy and the hobo girl was on top of his exposed body. The boy knocked her out unconscious, got dressed, and ran away. "The chicken was more amusing."he commented. Milton, because he didn't have any common sense sometimes, didn't realize he could just find out where Michael was using his crystal ball.

So, he looked into a parallel world instead. That world did not have Kyoya Legacy or Lovi Sky, his two favorite popstars. This world had Lady Gaga, Edward Cullen, Jacob Black, Justin Bieber, and various Asian boybands whose names Milton couldn't pronounce, captivating the hearts of people fangirls."Strange..."he murmured.

♥♥Kieran♥♥

Kieran smiled, happier than a bird with a french fry. Are we going on a date? he wondered, hope in his voice.

Sadly, when he got to the table, Kieran just saw some guy's name. "Oh..."he muttered, disappointed that they were just going to murder somebody tonight. "At least I get to see Kaito and Akito."he told himself, trying to be optimistic. Kaito and Akito were his two bunny personas and he loved them dearly, though not as much as his wife. "We can find him in...a monorail?"he asked nobody, clearly confused. Was he coming into town later tonight?

♥♥Sunako♥♥

Sunako walked into her room and grabbed her iPod, listening to Lovi Sky's song. She didn't enjoy Kyoya Legacy's music as much as she liked Lovi Sky. The young girl pulled out some paper from her desk and began writing some fanmail to Lovi Sky. Lovi Sky is the only man who could bring out the inner fangirl in Sunako: this was her deepest, darkest secret...

Dear Lovi Sky,
I never noticed how my heart could beat so loud when I think of you. I can't focus; my heads up in the clouds. My heart is so lost in the chaos it's crazy and when I close my eyes, you play like a movie in my mind. You are the star of my daydreams and I can't help this crush on you. Oh, I think we're meant to be but I know this is one-sided. The world is cruel, fate even crueler, for bringing you to me but not me to you. So all I can do is listen to your wonderful music, and pray that I don't lose hope when I'm trying to save the world with my friends ♥♥♥♥♥ Sunako

♥♥Kyoya♥♥

Kyoya pulled out his emergency fangirl kit from his jacket pocket. It was a small box that acted like a clown car: despite the size it could hold an almost infinite amount of items. "It only works 50% of the time, butI think I have just the thing to help her."he informed the boy who was holding the girl steady. Kyoya took out his iPod and placed some headphones in her ears. He pressed play and soon his voice was singing a catchy tune. Sometimes, Kyoya figured out, a fangirl who fainted from his presence would become revitalized after hearing a song. While he waited for the girl to wake up and for Shinji to come downstairs, he decided to introduce himself to the redheaded boy. "I'm Kyoya. I'm a persona user like yourself, and I'm going to be staying here until Shinji recovers from his injuries."he explained.

"Chirp!"

Kyoya looked up the stairs and saw Hibird flying down. She landed on his shoulder and nuzzled against him. "Oh, I didn't know you left."he told Hibird.

"What happened to Kimiko?"

Kyoya looked up the stairs again and saw Shinji approaching the three of them. Pikachu was on his shoulder, almost mimicing Hibird. "She's a fangirl, I guess, and fainted when she saw me."

♫ fleance ♫

Fleance sat down on his bed, tired and worn out from that day's activities. He was already in his pajamas and his door was safely locked so no underaged boys could enter his room anymore. Everything was good and he could now sleep! Laying down on his bed, he closed his eyes and tried to get some sleep.

♫ momo ♫

Momo was asleep in his bed, having wonderful dreams about marrying Sunako and having sweet Sunako babies.

♫ hikaru&kimiko ♫

" Oh, nice to meet you." He nodded to Kyoya, unable to giving him a handshake because of the passed out girl in his arms. It seemed like Kyoya's remedy for waking up fangirls wasn't working and Hikaru was getting tired of holding her. While Shinji came down the stairs, he saw this as his chance to dispose of the body.

" I hope you enjoy your stay here." Hikaru said as politely as he could and began to drag Kimiko's limp body up the stairs. If someone as attractive as this Kyoya guy was going to stay here, he would have to make sure that Kenji didn't meet him. What would he do if he ended up falling in love with Kyoya and leaving him? He would have to make sure not to let the two be alone in a room together....He sighed deeply when he finally reached the top of the stairs and wiped his forehead with the back of his hand. Really, he never knew Kimiko weighed so much. What was she eating that made her so heavy?

Then again, Hikaru's arms were like twigs and he had trouble even opening a water bottle, so this weight problem wasn't all Kimiko's fault.

He managed to drag Kimiko over to her room and open the door. He pulled her over to the bed and dumped her body there. He had to take a minute to catch his breath and he turned back around to Kimiko who was sleeping soundly, " Goodnight." He patted her head and went for the door.

♫ kisa&shizuka&ludwig ♫

They all left Club Escapade and headed home.

♫ miharu&tohru ♫

What am I doing with my life? Tohru questioned himself. Here he was, in Club Escapade, dancing with a crossdresser no less! Yeah, the crossdresser was attractive enough and if Tohru had been drunk, he might've asked him out on a date. But this guy was nothing compared to Kyoya, that was for sure. But even so, Tohru didn't struggle as the crossdresser dragged him through the moving crowd, towards the center of the room.
" So, what's your name?" Tohru asked, wiggling his wrist out of the other's grasp as they started to dance. He placed the black wig on the man's head and straightened it out until it looked acceptable.

" Miharu~♥" he replied with a wink and a smile.

Miharu? That sounded oddly familiar. Wasn't the headmaster's son named Miharu? Infact, that Miharu was a teacher at the school where he worked...and was a crossdresser too! Tohru had never met the headmaster or his son, but he was 100% sure that this was him.

" You work at the school right? As a teacher?" Tohru asked and Miharu stepped closer, swaying to the music.

" Mmmhmm~"

Miharu might have been no Kyoya Legacy, but he was nice to talk to. And for the rest of the night, they got to know each other better♥♥

♫ raichu ♫

Raichu had been enjoying his apple slices in peace when a voice disturbed him. Looking up, he saw Jonathan, one of Tohru's co-workers, " Raiii~!" he stuffed the last apple slice in his mouth and scampered off into the moving crowd. Tohru always reminded Raichu that if anyone saw him, he should flee, so he did just that.

♫ mizuki ♫

Thirty minutes after Kieran came home, Mizuki's phone rang. She paused her Kyoya Legacy CD and answered it reluctantly.

" What?"

" Mizuki," Ludwig answered, " Is Kieran there now? It's time."
" Okay." She shut her phone as soon as she stopped talking. Going out and killing people wasn't her favorite activity, but it passed the time... Taking one more lasting look at the Kyoya Legacy CD cover sitting on her bed, she left her room and went downstairs.

" Kieran!" She called out, going down the stairs, " It's time to go already! Get your ass over here!" Her evoker was already in the pocket of her jacket as she slipped it on, waiting for her husband to arrive. By her side, the mail was piled up on the table, bills and other useless junk that Kieran took care of. Usually she didn't pay attention to it, but sitting right on the top of the mountain of letters was a pink envelope, her name written elegantly on the front of it. She picked it up and frowned, " Damn." She knew that stupid handwriting from anywhere. She tore the envelope open carelessly and took out the letter inside. The paper itself was as pink as Mizuki's hair and it smelt like sparkles and rainbows.

Mizuki scanned the letter, picking out the words " Marriage", " Love", " Wedding", and " Invited". She flung the letter over her shoulder before she even finished reading, already knowing what it was about.

" KIERAN!" She yelled, her frustration only growing more with every passing second. She was more irritated at her sister attempting to talk to her then Kieran taking a while, but since Kieran was the only one around, she was going to take it out on him.

♫ ryuu ♫

" A door....?" Ryuu questioned, scratching his cheek. Didn't this guy know what an airplane was? He was in an airport afterall! how could he not know?! But Ryuu wasn't one to quickly judge someone, so he merely nodded, " I see, I see. Are you like the Doctor then?" The Doctor was a timelord who traveled to different worlds in a blue police box. Was it possible that this guy was the Doctor's new companion? " Dude! That's awesome!! I always knew the Doctor was real!" he said before he got an answer from the man.

His flight number was called again and Ryuu frowned, " Sorry man, but I gotta catch my flight! Tell the Doctor I said hi, okay?! When you find your shampoo, find me in Japan so we can hang bro! My name is Ryuu!" He held out his hand for a handshake.

♥♥Cleafen♥♥

“Sweet dreams, dearest.” cooed the young boy, emerging from the shadows of the room. A locked door wouldn’t keep Cleafen from his lovely Fleance. “I am always with you.” he reminded, slowly stepping towards the edge of the bed. He stopped. He smiled.

♥♥Pikachu&Hibird♥♥

While Shinji and Kyoya discussed what they needed talk about, Pikachu sat in front of Momo’s room. Hibird rested on top of his head and the small yellow creatures stared at the doorknob, knowing it was locked. That would not stop them from finding a way to harass Momo, but Pikachu couldn’t blast the thing open, knowing it might alert the object of his torment. “Pikachu?” muttered the rodent, scheming with the bird. “Chirp chirp, tweet!”

Hibird opened her beak and a key emerged from inside her. Pikachu did not question Hibird and took the key, amazed that it wasn’t slimy or anything. “Chirp!” alerted Hibird, one of her wings pointing to the doorknob. Pikachu, understanding her instructions, jumped up and tried to enter the key into the doorknob. Sadly, he was too short and Hibird had no hands! Momo was still safe, for now…

♥♥Sousuke♥♥

Since he’s from Japan, he had the sleeping habits of a vampire. Sousuke was usually awake during the night and what surprised him was the dark hour. It still occurred, despite the time difference and the fact that he wasn’t in Japan!

He first noticed this when the airplane he was on froze in midair and the passengers all became coffins. Luckily, it was just stuck there and he didn’t come crashing down to his death. Sousuke felt anxious for duration of the flight.

♥♥Kyoya&Shinji♥♥

“Thank you.” Kyoya replied to the boy, slightly surprised that his music didn’t work on the girl. Maybe he should have tried Lovi Sky’s song? Many girls had a thing for both of them; he knew this fact well. One morning, Kyoya woke up with photos and papers taped all over his body. Every single item was explicit yaoi fan fiction and photo shopped pictures of him and Lovi Sky together, courtesy of his manager. Kyoya learned never again to anger Satoshi, especially since he had access to all of Kyoya’s fan mail. He shivered at the thought.

Shinji, impatient with his cousin’s random silence, just decided to leave. Already his popstar cousin caused a commotion! He didn’t want to deal with him right now. As he turned to go back upstairs, Kyoya sensed his cousin’s boredom and reached for his pocket, determined to catch his attention. He whipped out a photo and held it out like a duelist showing his YuGiOh card to his opponent.

“Look dear cousin! I found this picture of you on the ground when I was hiding out in your school.”

Shinji gave Kyoya a strange expression and an even stranger one appeared when he looked at the photo in the popstar’s hand. “What the hell?” he muttered, snatching it from his hands. It was definitely him, this was his yearbook picture! “God, are those creepers at it again?”

Shinji was unaware that he had a fan club at school, but he did notice a creeper from time to time.

♥♥Satoshi♥♥

On the edge of a sidewalk, an unconscious man’s body was sprawled against the pavement. The redhead couldn’t save Kyoya from the crowd this time, so he hoped that the popstar made it to the dorm. The last thing his eyes saw before passing out had been a blurred outline of an approaching figure.

So when he woke up, Satoshi was not surprised to find himself in a hospital. The white room stung his eyes a bit and he winced, despite being used to bright lights of a stage whenever he observed Kyoya’s performances. Eventually, some nurses explained to him some information that he didn’t particularly care about. Where was Kyoya? That’s what he wanted to know, but he didn’t know where his phone was.

“So…you were trampled on by a stampede of Kyoya Legacy fangirls?”asked a blond policeman, giving Satoshi a questionable look. Soon all the officer received were one worded responses from Satoshi but he still kept asking questions. Officer Sohma eventually left the room, satisfied with the information he gained. Satoshi sighed and laid his head against the soft pillow the hospital provided, planning his next revenge on Kyoya for abandoning him. He could have at least sent somebody to find him, hell even that strange Hibird would have sufficed.

♥♥Jonathon♥♥

"I need a new job."complained the waiter, watching strange men do The Creep on Club Escapade's dancefloor. Earlier, the strange rodent scurried away so he decided to forget about it, having way more important things to worry about. Jonathon's shift ended and he headed towards the dorm, planning to chill there.

♥♥Michael♥♥

Michael didn't know what doctor the child spoke about, but he nodded his head anyways. He normally did that whenever Milton rambled about something he didn't understand. "Yes, he is real."he lied indifferently, taking the boy's hand. "Ah, the custom of humans, the handshake, I have heard of it."he commented, his strange speech patterns making him pause after every other phrase. "I am Michael. I do not understand what this 'hang' is that you speak of, but you should introduce me to it one day. If you should ever need to locate me, look for a velvet door that only certain individuals may see. That is, only if you possess the potential to find it."

Despite his riddled speech, the silver haired man offered a smile at the young human before letting go of the handshake. "I am off to buy the shampoo that has been requested by my master. Farewell, Ryuu."

The airport didn't look like the stores Milton always sent him too, so Michael's intuition told him that he'd have difficulty finding the bath product. In the middle of the airport Michael summoned a door, but instead of leading to the velvet room or some other random place, this time it led to the familiar Japanese store in Japan he always went to. Oblivious to the stares of the people in the airport, Michael stepped through it without worry.

♥♥Subaru♥♥

"I will take this, thank you."

Suburu could only watch as another man pryed the shampoo he had been holding away from him. A blank stare was on Subaru's face, dumbfounded as the silver haired man walked to the register and bought the shampoo he had been planning to purchase. "Man oh man..."he mumbled quietly, his voice was full of awe rather than bitterness. "What is going on today? I'm encounting strange people left and right...No matter."he sighed, turning around and grabbing one of the other dozens of shampoo bottles laying on the shelf. Surprisingly, he didn't see that strange man after he left the store, so Suburu just decided to go home. The monorail was a bit far away because he visited Kagura this afternoon and she lived somewhat far from him, but the station was the fastest way to his house from this store.

♥♥Kieran♥♥

Kieran was about to enjoy eating a sandwich when he heard Mizuki yelling for him. His mouth was full of delicious bread, peanut butter, and jelly, so he couldn't answer right away. He quickly finished the sandwich and drank an entire glass of milk, scurrying to the sink to put his dishes away. After that, Kieran walked into the living room and smiled at his wife. "Yes?"he answered calmly, not wanting to anger his obviously angry wife even more. "I'm ready."

♥♥Kenji♥♥

"Finished!"exclaimed Kenji, who had decided to correct and finish the rest of his homework while Hikaru left the room. He smiled and proudly put his papers away, zipping up his backpack. For once he stood up and headed towards the door to leave Hikaru's room. He went into the hallway and saw Pikachu and a strange bird on its head. "Ah, what is that?"

♫ mizuki ♫

With arms crossed, Mizuki drummed her fingers against her arm, waiting for their target to show up. It had taken an hour or so for them to actually get to the correct monorail station, so by the time they got there, it was almost time for the dark hour. Which was fine for Mizuki, it only made their persona's more accessible.

" Where the fuck is he Kieran?" She asked as if he knew, " He should've shown up already, the last monorail leaves in ten minutes."

♫ gabriel ♫

" Goodnight kid." Gabriel smiled lovingly at his sleeping son. He hated leaving him at home all alone, but he would much rather fight shadows outside than in his house where there was a possibility of Tristen getting hurt. Tucking the covers under his chin, Gabriel kissed his forehead lightly and got up, turning on the nightlight incase Tristen woke up later on and left the room.

Taking another glance at the clock, Gabriel grabbed his jacket and put it on, patting his pocket to check that the evoker was still in there. It was, luckily, and with that reassurance he grabbed his keys and locked his door, checking it twice so no one could get in while his son was sleeping. One of these days, he should hire a nanny or someone to look after Tristen. But with all the costs of Tristen's clothes, food and other personal needs, there was no left over money for it. That was why it was so important for him to find Tristen's mother....even if he didn't remember what her name was.

Gabriel took his phone out of his pocket and dialed Subaru's number. He knew that he had went to go visit Kagura and wondered if he got home safely. The last monorail was due to leave soon and since Gabriel lived close to the station, he could take him home if needed.

" Hello? Oh, hey Subaru. Didja make it home okay?"

♫ shino ♫

" We.....We shouldn't be doing this..." The famous popstar whimpered, placing a soft hand on the other's strong, masculine chest. It felt so warm beneath his fingertips.

" What do you mean my love? Why not?" Kyoya's melodic voice asked lowly, taking hold of the hand on his chest and moving it toward his heart.

Shino swallowed thickly as he placed a hand over his own heart, a fierce blush coloring his cheeks. He eagerly scrolled down, unknowingly leaning closer to the computer screen, his fingers slightly trembling.

" Nyaaa~ Kyoya-sama~!" Lovi swooned, melting in Kyoya's arms, " TAKEE ME~♥♥♥♥!"

It was all too much for poor Shino Masaomi and blood exploded from his nose, the KAWAII DESU of it all becoming too much to bare. Reaching over, Shino grabbed a tissue and covered his nose but continued reading the rest of the fanfic. It was perfectly fine for guys to read yaoi right? Nothing wrong about that. BUT it certainly was wrong that he was reading a dirty yaoi fanfiction in the closed library he worked out and what only made it worse was that he knew the two characters in the story, he even went to highschool with them. But Shino couldn't resist! The fanfiction was too good! The concerts they did together obviously showed the burning passion they had for each other. Their stolen glances, their secret touches.

" Ugh." Another burst of blood came from his nose at the thought of the Kyoya Legacy & Lovi Sky duet they did last year for a charity. He had the special edition at home and watched it over a thousand times.

♥♥Subaru & Akito♥♥

A few hours ago
Akito waved hello to a young man with dark hair, who looked backed at him with confusion. The blond only smiled and approached the other male, who took a step back when Akito was within a few feet. "You don't remember me? You're horrible, Subaru!"he laughed.

Subaru just raised his eyebrows and kept his hands in his pocket. "Guess I am."he replied uninterested, not at all remembering the guy in front of him. There weren't many people with the same shade of golden hair that Gabriel had in this city yet Subaru still couldn't recall ever meeting this man. For some reason, the blond guy chuckled at Subaru again.

"You barely met me this morning! I sat next to you in that ramen place. I'm Akito."he reminded, and to his delight Subaru's expression indicated that he did suddenly remember.

"Oh...you're that strange guy who insisted on sitting with me. Right?"

Akito nodded his head and suddenly pulled Subaru's hand from out of his pockets. He tugged his arm and with surprising strength Akito dragged him towards Club Escapade. Subaru didn't really resist too much after Akito volunteered to pay for the drinks.

The Present
"AHAHAHAHAHA~! Hey Gabriel, I just left Club Escapade. I'm on my way *Hic* to the monorail station riiiiiggght about...NOW!"
After abruptly hanging up on Gabriel, Subaru was laughing hysterically for no reason except that he was drunk as he sluggishly trailed behind the sober Akito.

Akito shoved so much alcohol down Subaru's body that he got him to spill a lot of information. Akito now knew that Gabriel's team existed and there was a lot more persona users in this city than he originally thought. He couldn't get him to properly say the address of anybody's house, but Akito could find them on his own. Still, it had taken him hours to get the man drunk but Akito didn't mind. Now he could lead Subaru to the monorail, to Mizuki and Kieran, close to midnight and more importantly, the dark hour.

"The monorail is up ahead, you should be able to get home by yourself right? Subaru?"he asked with a friendly smile, but Akito's response from Subaru was more laughter and incoherent dialogue. "Eheh, perhaps that was a little too much I gave you there..."said Akito, who simply waved goodbye as Subaru stumbled towards the station.

Akito's friendly smile quickly faded and a cold expression replaced his cheery aura. He didn't need to be at the scene when the assassins did their business - he could back them up from his current location if he needed too. Still, that Gabriel man contacted Subaru earlier...Akito hoped that he didn't come looking for him.

♥♥Kieran♥♥

Kieran noticed that the transition to the dark hour had begun. The sky became green and puddles of blood appeared on the ground. Nobody besides him and his wife were at the station, so no coffins were in the area. Then, he saw the outline of a figure approaching the station an he turned to Mizuki. "I think thats him."he told her, but before he could hear her response, Akito's voice echoed in his head and probably Mizuki's too.

"I've gotten all the information I need from that guy and I've led him to you. Let me know if you need assistance. He has a persona, but he's drunk, so he's probably not a threat...Ah, it seems another person is approaching, besides the target...I think he also has a persona. He's going to get there before Subaru."

To Kieran's shock, the person he noticed earlier wasn't the target like he thought. "Him?!"he exclaimed.

♥♥Kyoya & Satoshi♥♥

Satoshi headed for the monorail station with Kyoya, who had finally picked him up at the hospital. "I said I'm sorry, Satoshi! Forgive me?"pleaded the popstar, but the manager just shrugged his shoulders. "Maybe."he said with a sheepish smile. "If you go through with what I'm about to say and promise not to back out."

Kyoya nodded his head over and over again, not wanting Satoshi to be angry with him again. This wasn't the first time his manager suffered because of the fangirls. "Yes, I promise!"cried Kyoya, causing Saotshi to burst out in laughter. When he finally stopped, Kyoya asked him what he needed to do.
"When I got my phone back, I had a missed call from some producer. They want you to be the main character of a movie where two men fall in love with each other. It's a tragic love story named A Billionaire's First Love."he explained, not mentioning who the co-star would be.

The popstar's face was priceless but he bravely stepped up to the challenge. "Fine! I'll do it to make up for the hundreds of times I've left you for dead on the sidewalk after fangirls attacked you."smiled Kyoya, who didn't realize his sentence could have offended Satoshi. When they finally got to the monorail station, everything around Kyoya transformed. He had lost track of time and he turned to his friend, who was now transmorgrified into a coffin. He sighed as he went to look for a bench to sit on while the dark hour went on; he couldn't just leave Satoshi behind again. Wishing that he had brought along Hibird for company, Kyoya walked off.

Kyoya headed towards the waiting area, and to his surprise, he saw two other people not in coffins. A man and a woman. The man seemed to recognize him, and while Kyoya thought it was because of his popstar status, he eventually recognized Kieran as he walked closer. "This is a surprise..."commented the idol, but he offered the two a smile. He didn't think that either were a threat, after all, Kieran had helped him earlier that day.

♫ gabriel ♫

"AHAHAHAHAHA~! Hey Gabriel, I just left Club Escapade. I'm on my way *Hic* to the monorail station riiiiiggght about...NOW!"

" Er, Subaru, buddy, you don't sound so good..." As Gabriel spoke over the phone, he was already heading towards the monorail station. He could tell that Subaru was out-of-his-mind drunk and that there was a possibility that he wouldn't get off at the correct stop. " Just stay there, I'l-" He was cut off when the other line went dead. " Dammit Subaru, what the hell are you thinking." He sighed, putting his phone away and quickened his pace, hoping to catch Subaru before he got on the monorail and was lost forever. But maybe, to his luck, the Dark Hour would start before Subaru had a chance to get on, giving Gabriel enough time to catch him.

♫ mizuki ♫

" What the fuck are you talking about?" Mizuki questioned, looking over at her husband. She too had heard Akito's words, but unlike Kieran, she couldn't see anything in the distance. Although most of that was because she had poor eye sight and was too proud to wear glasses or get contacts. Placing her hands firmly on her hips, she shook her head, " Seriously Kieran, sometimes I think you're getting dumber by the seco-"

"This is a surprise..."

Being the intense Kyoya Legacy fangirl she was, her head snapped around so hard that it was a surprise that she didn't break it, finding the popstar standing there, in the flesh. but wasn't this the Dark Hour? Why wasn't Kyoya in a coffin like regular humans? Did this mean he was a persona user too? These thoughts should have been going through her head, but all Mizuki could think was, " ohmygodohmygodheiskyoyalegacyohmygodohmygod". Pushing Kieran out of the way, Mizuki walked up to Kyoya and grabbed the front of his t-shirt, pulling him close so she could examine his face better. " Kyoya Legacy? Is that really you?"

Mizuki was going to search for his birthmark, one that only true fangirls would know about, but a loud shot rang out through the air, a bullet barely scraping her hair. Momentarily confused, Mizuki released Kyoya from her grasp, frantically looking over to where the shot originated from. Standing a few feet away from them stood a blond man with long hair, probably a foreigner, with his gun pointed straight at her.

♫ gabriel ♫

As Akito had predicted, Gabriel had reached the monorail station before Subaru. He was prepared to wait for him to show up, but something in the distance had caught his eye. While he was walking to the station, the Dark Hour reared it's ugly head, turning the occasional passer-byer into a coffin. He was used to this so that's why he found it so surprising to find actual people standing in front of the station instead of red and black coffins. As he got closer, he instantly recognized all three of him. To his surprise, one of them was Kyoya Legacy, a world renowned popstar. Everyone who was anyone knew who he was, even a single father like Gabriel knew him.

The other two were Ludwig's assassins, a married couple whose names always escaped him. He had only seen them once or twice but had never really stopped to talk to them. Ever since killing Kida last year, Gabriel was on Ludwig's hit list so he made sure to avoid the two paid killers. But from what it looked like, the lady with the fire red hair was getting ready to attack Kyoya. Was he their next target?! Without taking the time to stop and think, Gabriel pulled his actual gun, not his evoker, out of his pocket and shot in the girl's direction. The action had been pretty quick and he didn't have time to aim properly, so he wasn't fazed when it missed her.

" Let him go." He said, approaching the three slowly. The woman had already let Kyoya go, but he still kept his gun pointed at her.

" Kieran! Are you going to let him shoot me or are you going to do something about it?!" The girl spat out, looking towards the dark haired man behind her.

♥♥Subaru & Akito♥♥

So the mystery persona user is the renowned Kyoya Legacy, eh? Akito didn't expect him to randomly show up, but perhaps he could be put to good use. Gabriel and Subaru both needed to die. "Tch. Looks like you two have stumbled into some trouble; I'll take care of Subaru while you hold off Gabriel. We do not need another opponent at the moment, so avoid giving Mr. Legacy any reason to attack you."he advised Kieran and Mizuki telepathically, calmly approaching Subaru from behind. His acquaintance was lying on the ground despite being conscious; no wonder Kyoya and Gabriel arrived at the station first!

A wicked smiled formed on the blond's lips as he sat down next to Subaru on the pavement. "Too bad, Subaru. You didn't make it to the station..."he whispered, taking him into his arms. Akito gazed into Subaru's eyes and could tell that he was about to fall asleep.

He wasn't holding him tight, or even strangling him...Akito was holding him almost lovingly. Well, Akito actually had on his wolverine-rip off claws equipped to his hands so the scene wasn't all that lovely. Using a gun was out of the question, because Gabriel or Kyoya might hear it and ruin everything. So, he opted to use his own weapon and finish off Subaru quietly. He held the dazed Subaru with one arm and with the other hand, pressed the sharp blade against his neck. Akito was no longer smiling as Subaru shut his eyes and drifted in and out of slumber. "Looks like I'll have to kill you myself, my friend."

Blood began to tickle down Subaru's neck as Akito slowly slashed across it.

“These cuts are deep…even if you survive the hospitals won’t be open. And since you don’t transmogrify, if you live until tomorrow, you’ll die once your life support machines shut off during the next Dark Hour. Farewell, Subaru.”

♥♥Kyoya♥♥

Kyoya felt paralyzed at the sound of an abrupt gunshot. “A gun…?!”he gasped, startled that the bullet nearly hit the woman in front of him. The pop star did have an evoker with him, but in the ten years he’d possessed his persona, at most he only had to fight shadows. He didn’t feel any remorse for those creatures of evil whenever they met their end…but he had never run into an enemy persona user. The humans usually chose to stick together. His team had been the only people who could use them until they discovered his cousin and his classmates unlocked their potential.

Since it had been years since he engaged in combat, Kyoya had forgotten what it felt like to have his life threatened. If he got shot with that gun, the hospitals wouldn’t be open…

Oh, what if he died! He could never make up his mistakes to Satoshi after he was such a devoted manager and friend. Shinji would be left with SEES, in his injured state, without any help against this new threat. Ah, and his darling Hibird! Who would take care of her if he died? Kyoya felt distraught as he realized that he’d be leaving behind those he cared about. And worst of all…his two precious friends, Lovi and Tohru, would never know what happened to him. Ah, how Kyoya -

“You better think twice about getting any closer to them.”

Kyoya snapped back to reality when he saw Kieran in front of both him and the woman. Kieran had what looked like an evoker pressed against his head. Not even bothering to wonder where he got that evoker, Kyoya watched as his acquaintance pulled the trigger.

To his surprise, Kyoya saw two cute bunnies standing in front of Kieran. But apparently they were gymnasts or something, because the white bunny with green ears did a back flip and landed on top of Mizuki’s head. “I will protect both of you~♥”spoke the persona.

Now Kyoya realized was caught in the middle of a battle he didn't belong in. That man had ordered Kieran's companion to let Kyoya go and now Kieran was saying he would protect both of them. Damn, he had no idea what to do, but he couldn't just watch them kill each other!

♥♥Kieran♥♥

Kieran still had another persona in front of him and he glared at Gabriel. He had the strong urge to beat the crap out of him with his bare fists, which wouldn’t be pretty for Gabriel, considering Kieran was the boxing coach at school. But Kieran knew better, and getting close to a man with a gun would definitely not be smart. “Bufudyne!”he commanded, and huge chunks of ice were hurled towards his enemy.

♫ ichiro ♫

" Akuryo Taisan!"

A thin white strip of paper flew in the air, black bold kanji written on the front. It zipped through the air with unnatural speed until it reached it's destination- smack dab on Akito's forehead. " Rin, Pyou, Tou, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen!" A voice cried out, the bold Japanese letters lighting up with a blue glow before electricity shot out from the seemingly harmless strip of paper, leaving Akito unconscious for the time being.

After the coast was clear, Ichiro dropped down from a random rooftop, running over to Subaru. He had been on his nightly walk during the Dark Hour, patrolling the rooftops of the city in search for shadows, when he saw two figures in the distance. Neither of them were in coffins, leading him to believe that he probably knew them, seeing that he knew the old SEES team and was currently in a new persona team. But as he got closer to the edge, Ichiro was greeted with a horrific scene. Subaru, his fellow colleague in fighting shadows, was in the arms of Akito, one of Ludwig's evil henchmen. Subaru was bleeding furiously out of his neck, no doubt the work of Akito's well known claw like weapons. In fear of Subaru's life, Ichiro whipped out an ofuda from this coat and whispered a spell on it, throwing the sheet of paper towards Akito.

Ichiro avoided stepping in Subaru's blood as he approached him the best he could, but he couldn't avoid it any longer when he got closer. Pulling another ofuda from his coat, he closed his eyes and whispered an entirely different spell, a closing spell. He brushed the paper across the slit across Subaru's neck, all the while whispering the spells of his dead ancestors. The spell wasn't powerful enough to close the wound completely, but it was better than nothing. Finishing his spell, Ichiro placed the talisman over the cut and the letters on it turned light green. At most, it would stop the bleeding.

Since it was the Dark Hour, the hospitals wouldn't be open, leaving Subaru's life in his hands. Rather then panic, Ichiro took off his jacket and placed it around Subaru, covering his blood stained shirt. Then, as gently as he could, he slid his arms under his legs and back and hoisted him up, bridal style. He had to find Katamari. He was their healer back in highschool and although they hadn't really spoke since highschool, he was the only person who could help them. Praying that Subaru and his spell would hold on for a little longer, Ichiro began his journey towards the local library, knowing that was the place to find Shino. Shino and Katamari had been pretty close in the old days, so he figured if anyone knew where Katamari was, it was him.

♫ mizuki ♫

Mizuki shared one of her rare smiles when Kieran summoned his personas. She was quite fond of the two bunny like creatures, although she would never openly admit it. With Kieran handling the blond guy, Mizuki grabbed Kyoya's hand, pulling him out of danger. If this was any other situation, she would've fainted from merely touching Kyoya's hand, but when in the face of danger, such as now, she sobered up. " Here." She took the green eared bunny off her head and handed it to Kyoya. " He'll protect you if you need it. Just let us handle this guy."

With Kyoya out of the way, Mizuki could go back to thinking straight. And that meant getting revenge. Calmly, she pulled the evoker from her jacket pocket but didn't immediately press it against her head. Instead, she stood next to Kieran and watched as the man shielded himself from his attack. Actually, now that she thought about it, this blond guy seemed...familiar? Like she had seen him somewhere before. Exactly from where, she didn't know. She didn't even know this guy's name after all!

♫ gabriel ♫

Gabriel's eyes widened as the dark haired man summoned his persona. Instead of one, this man had two; twin bunnies infarct. One went back to the girl and the other stayed with the man, making Gabriel wonder if they shared the personas. He had never heard of two people sharing a persona, but nothing was impossible!

He was brought out of his thoughts when the guy, apparently called Kieran, ordered his persona to attack. Large ice particles appeared around the persona and flew towards him. Bracing himself, Gabriel pulled his evoker from his pocket and quickly pressed it against his head, pulling the trigger. To avoid confusion, his evoker was painted bright pink while his actual gun was black. There was no way he ever wanted to confuse his evoker for his gun. Once the trigger was pulled, Gabriel felt something within him unlock and his soul opened, his persona emerging from it. A long bodied unicorn appeared, it's fur the color of a rainbow and a horn placed in the middle of it's forehead, and it giggled happily, unaware of the current situation.

" Defend!" Gabriel ordered. Rainicorn, his rainbow persona, wrapped it's long body around Gabriel, creating a dome around him, protecting him from the relentless ice attack. After the ice faded, Rainicorn unwrapped itself, sending Gabriel a happy smile. Since Gabriel was older then the dorm persona users, he could keep his persona out for a longer period of time without having to constantly summon it with the evoker. " Rainicorn, att-!" He was cut off when his persona let out a terrible screech, her multi colored blood splattering against the pavement, making Gabriel wince. Before him stood a sharp toothed, red haired man, digging his equally red chainsaw into Rainicorn's body. " W-what?" he stuttered, surprised by the man's sudden appearance. He looked human for the most part, excluding the shark-like teeth in his mouth, but Gabriel knew that he wasn't.

♫ mizuki ♫

" This is pay back," Mizuki smirked, twirling her evoker around her finger, sending Gabriel a smug look, " for touching my beautiful hair." She gave her persona a hard glance and he smiled back at her, forcing his chainsaw into the unicorn's body even more. The poor persona cried out in pain and tried to get away, but Mizuki's persona had the heel of his stiletto pierced through the unicorn's tail, keeping it grounded. The blond guy was obviously feeling the effects of his persona being hurt in such away and this gave Mizuki more confidence. She walked past Kieran and and walked over to Gabriel, kicking his gun out of his hands. He was already on his knees, clutching his heart, and Mizuki laughed gleefully, her persona following her example.

She knew that Akito had warned her not to make an enemy of Kyoya and simply hold off Gabriel, but this bastard had tried to kill her! She simply could sit back and let him go! Especially not after touching her hair! Crouching down, Mizuki grabbed the disregarded gun and cocked it back, pressing it against the space between Gabriel's eyes, " Lets see how you like being shot at." Her finger stroked the trigger and she was ready to press it until-

" IT'S YOU!"

Caught off guard, Mizuki lowered the gun, " What?" It was as if the man was reborn, the pain from before seemed to have disappeared and there was determination in his eyes. Behind them, Gabriel's persona disappeared and with it, Mizuki's demon faded as well.

" It's you! You're the mother of my child!!"

Mizuki blinked. What?

♫ gabriel ♫

Gabriel knew he had seen her somewhere before! And it wasn't until she was within an arms length from him did he recognize her! She was Tristen's mother! There was no denying it! Her hair was a different color then five years ago, but she could've dyed it! And her personality had done a total 180 since the party all those years ago, but people change all the time. Yes. This girl was defiantly the woman he had been searching for all this time!

" It's me! Don't you remember me? Sure, I changed a little since the last time, but don't you remember me?" He took Mizuki by the shoulders and shook her, as if it would help her remember. " Don't you remember all those years ago in France?"

♫ shino ♫

Shino had just finished cleaning the blood from his nose when there was a knock at the door, making him jump. It was the Dark Hour and everyone he worked with where in the shape of a coffin right now, which meant there were only a few select people who could be on the other side of the door. Carefully, Shino made his way through the darkened room to the tall wooden door, hesitating before opening the door. He had been expecting someone from highschool, since they were the only ones who were awake during the Dark Hour and knew he worked at the library, but what he hadn't been expecting was Ichiro carrying a man with one of Ichiro's talismans wrapped around his neck.

" Um." Shino frowned, confused about this whole situation, " Ah, er, Ichiro...hi?" He stumbled over his words, shuffling his feet, trying to avoid looking at the bleeding man in his arms. Why was Ichiro here with a man bleeding to death? It wasn't like Shino could help them!

" I need to find Katamari." Ichiro explained, pushing past Shino. He kicked one of the desks people used to study on, making all the books that had been on it fall to the ground, and carefully laid Subaru on top of it. He pulled another ofuda from his pocket and repeated the sealing spell, placing it over the first fading talisman.

Shino awkwardly stood behind him, biting his fingernails worriedly. " K-Katamari? W-w-why do you need him?" He could see the man's blood drip off his neck and onto the floor, making Shino feel sick. Ichiro didn't answer his question and said, " Shino! Just tell me where he is! This isn't the time to be fooling around!"

Shino yelped and bit his nail even harder, his eyes going anywhere but meeting with Ichiro's intense gaze. " H-h-he was gonna c-c-come over and walk me h-h-h-h-home." His fingers shook as he spoke, finally deciding that the floor was the best thing to keep his eyes on, " H-he should be here...any minute." His voice got quieter as he spoke until it was barely a whisper.

♥♥Katamari♥♥

"What a crime! Such a wonderful crime...!" sang Katamari, reciting the lyrics of one of Kyoya's newest songs. "That God would choose to make such lips as mine~!"

He cheerfully ignored the eerie feeling in the air, the green moon, all of the puddles of blood, and the occasional coffin that appeared during the dark hour. "It was wrong but all the same, I invited and you came into this dream with meeeee."

Katamari would have skipped with glee and danced in the empty streets, but he didn't want to accidentally step in a puddle. His new shoes would become stained with blood and he did NOT spend a hundred dollars to wear bloody shoes. "So my price, is to gaze in your eyes, and to feel more love than I can contain!"
The only sound outside suddenly stopped, for Katamari forgot the next line of lyrics! Ugh, and he thought he had finally learned this song by heart, too. But then a few steps later, he remembered! He pressed his hands against his chest, feeling his beating heart as Katamari continued to sing the song. "Even so, it's fair to say, I've still found a way...to cast my spell on you~"

He finally reached the library and cheerfully grabbed the handle. "Guilty, Beauty, Heart!" he sang, opening the door.

His voice was no Kyoya Legacy, but Katamari had the same charm aesthetically wise. With his decent signing and good looks, Katamari was certain that if he randomly recorded himself singing a cover of some famous song he'd be a YouTube celebrity in no time! But he had a life: picking up beautiful ladies, attending college, hanging out with Shino, and being awesome was a full time job!

"SHINO~! I finally learned his new song by heart."he announced as he stepped through the door, half expecting his friend to still be on a computer reading Kyovi fanfiction despite technology not working. Katamari, however, could smell the familiar scent of blood in the air. "Hm? Shino, did you have a fatal nosebleed?"he asked, but his body almost froze when he saw the outline of three figures in the room. Further inspection let him know that Shino was nervously looking at the ground and his old pal Ichiro was next to a man lying down on a table. He could barely see in the darkness, but Katamari could smell the blood. "Is that man bleeding!?"he gasped, hurrying over to Ichiro's side. Concerned for the man, he sacrificed his brand new shirt and shoes' cleanliness to hold him in his arms. "So what happened, Ichiro?"he asked as the blood began to seep into Katamari's clothes.

Even back in high school, Katamari never needed his evoker to summon his persona. He used sheer willpower; something even Kyoya never learned how to do. While Ichiro explained the situation, Katamari mutli-tasked and tended to the man in his arms. "Diarama..." he whispered, his blue eyes gazing at the seals on the stranger's neck. His persona floated above them and gently touched the neck wounds. A bright light from his other self's glowing hands let Katamari get a glimpse of the injured man's face and to his surprise he resembled Kyoya! But he knew it wasn't him, because the power of friendship let Katamari know that it was some sort of doppelganger or something. When the light faded and the darkness once again enveloped the library, he removed the seals that Ichiro placed and saw that the wound had closed. "I'm still worried about the blood loss he sustained though..." He voiced his concern to Ichiro, for Katamari could feel the blood on his own chest. It managed to soak through his blazer and T-shirt.

He grabbed the guy's wrist and checked the his pulse, sighing with relief when he realized there was still life left in him. But the pulse wasn't completely normal, and Katamari felt glad that he was taking medical classes at the moment. He was only able to recognize the abnormal pulse because of it! "My persona hasn't been used in half a decade, I'm not sure if I've completely healed him."he continued to worry. His persona hadn't disappeared yet, so Katamari decided to try again; this time with an even more powerful spell. "Diarahan!" he commanded, and instead of just the man's neck, Katamari's persona wrapped his entire body in light. Katamari kept up the healing spell for almost five straight minutes before his persona faded away. Fatigue hit him immeadiately afterwards and he set down the man back onto the table, feeling confident that his power had worked. "His breathing seems to have stablized and his pulse feels normal now...he should be okay, Ichiro."he reassured, though Katamari felt exhausted. He groaned as layed on the floor, not caring that he was next to blood. Katamari's clothes were already ruined anyways and he didn't have the strength to find a better spot to rest.

♥♥Kieran♥♥

Kieran, as if in sync with his wife, thought the exact same thing.

The hell?

Like a raging storm, the man felt the anger inside of him beginning to go out of control. The brown bunny faded away and Kieran's body began to shine for a split second; his persona had powered him up and given him temporary super strength. Kieran cracked his knuckles and slowly walked up to Gabriel and Mizuki.

"Takes your damn hands off of my wife, you bastard."he threatened, tightening his fist. Kieran didn't actually give him any time though, because he immediately punched Gabriel in the face and sent him flying.

He didn't bother watching the man slam against the wall or anything, Kieran knew he'd probably be still alive because of his persona protecting him, but regardless he turned to Mizuki. Oh, how his smile looked so dark.

"What was he telling you, Love?"he asked. Kieran didn't even hear Gabriel's accusation of Mizuki being the mother of his child.

♥♥Kyoya♥♥

Kyoya didn't have a clue what was going on, but the adorable bunny in his arms looked extremely angry. His first thought was that Kieran was pissed and by the way he had sent the blond man flying, Kyoya had a feeling he was right. He didn't want anybody to die, so he held the bunny with one arm and used the other to get his hidden evoker. "Persona!"he chanted, and the familiar feeling of his soul emerging washed throughout him. His persona, which resembled a vampire and in fact was named Vampire, appeared above Kyoya.

Knowing what he wanted, Kyoya's persona vanished and reappeared next to the wall. He caught Gabriel in his arms before he could hit the wall and set him down on the ground. Still carrying the bunny, he ran to Gabriel's side and looked up to his persona. "Thank you."he said, before Vampire nodded and returned to Kyoya's soul. The popstar put Kieran's bunny on his shoulder, like how Pikachu would rest on Shinij's shoulder, and kept his evoker in his left hand. He extended his right hand to Gabriel, offering to help him up.

"Why are you fighting each other?"he asked, concerned for all three of their safety. Kyoya didn't want anybody dying tonight.

♥♥Akito♥♥

Akito's body stirred and his head felt like it was on fire. "Ugh..."he groaned, rolling over and laying on his back. Finally waking up Akito opened his eyes and saw the dark sky, gazing up at the moon. He could see that it was still the dark hour, but he did not see Subaru's corpse anywhere. Akito was drenched in blood but from what e could tell, all of it had belonged to Subaru. There was also a piece of paper on his forhead and when Akito removed it, he couldn't understand a single symbol written on it. "Damn..."he cursed, realizing that somebody must have knocked him unconscious and saved his victim using this enchanted paper.

It would definitely explain why he didn't remember falling unconscious.

Still lying there, Akito closed his eyes and tried to sense his allies. He could still feel four energies nearby so he concluded that Kieran, Mizuki, Kyoya Legacy, and Gabriel were still at the monorail station. Unfortunately for Akito, he couldn't contact them right away, his energy was deplenished so he couldn't speak telepathically. Annoyed, Akito finally sat up and he tried scanning the area for Subaru's whereabouts. He didn't find anybody besides the four at the monorail station; Subaru had probably been taken to a place out of range. Akito sighed, still annoyed that he couldn't sense as far as usual because of his fatigue. What in the world had happened, where was Subaru, and what was the paper he found on his forehead?

He glanced at the paper once more before tucking it into his pocket; Akito would definitely research this later.

♥♥Subaru♥♥

Subaru slowly opened his eyes but he couldn't see anything in the darkness. His neck felt like it was burning and he felt like he had been thrown into a pool because of all the blood on his clothes. He vaguely remembered hanging out with Akito and then it was all a big blur. Subaru did have an image of looking up into the blond's eyes for whatever reason but it was all so unclear. He sat up and tried to figure out where he was, but he couldn't tell. Maybe it was the dark hour?

"Where am I..?"he mumbled, surprised by how weak his voice sounded. Dazed, he continued looking around until he noticed that there was somebody behind him; he could hear the breathing. "Hm?"

♫ shino ♫

Coincidentally, Katamari showed up right after Shino stopped talking, opening the grand library doors like a magnificent superhero. " M-Mari!" Shino smiled, his hand flying to clutch the space above his heart. To him, Katamari was like a superhero. He had enough confidence to even challenge that of Lovi and a voice that was as beautiful as Kyoya. If Kyoya Legacy and Lovi Sky ever had a child, Shino was a hundred percent certain that it would be Katamari. As he was silently praising his friend in his mind, Ichiro explained to Katamari what had happened.

Shino's green eyes sparkled in admiration as Katamari worked his magic on the wounded man. Shino had always desperately wished that he knew healing spells back in the SEES team, but that was always Katamari's specialty while Shino did nothing but stay in the dorm, supporting the team as they fought shadows, risking their lives.

Five minutes later, Katamari was done with his healing and immediately laid down on the floor. Quickly, Shino grabbed a magazine off one of the racks and rushed to Katamari's side, using the magazine as a half-assed fan to help his friend cool off. " I-Is he gonna l-live, Ichiro?" He asked the exorcist worriedly, his voice shaking almost as much as his body was. It was almost comical how vastly different he and Katamari were.

♫ ichiro&shino ♫

Ichiro explained the situation to Katamari as he healed him, hoping his words wouldn't disturb the healing process. When Katamari finished and went to the floor, Ichiro went to Subaru's side, double checking his wounds. He carefully removed the ofuda from Subaru's neck and saw that the cut was closed. There was a scar there and it wasn't completely all the way healed, but it looked a lot better then it did before. " Yes," He answered Shino's wimpy question, his hard eyes moving from Subaru to Shino, making the other jump. " You can still detect other persona users, yes?" Shino meekly nodded and looked away, unable to hold his gaze. Ichiro brushed it off, " Look around the area. If Akito is out and about, Mizuki and Kieran will be too."

" W-who a-are-"

" It doesn't matter. Do as I say." He demanded, his glare hardening.

Shino almost wet himself under Ichiro's intense stare, but he closed his eyes and pretended he wasn't looking at him, " O-O-O-Okay." Still continuing to fan Katamari, Shino began to concentrate, looking for the aura of any other users around the area. Off in the distance, he could faintly feel the presence of four people. He only knew one of them well; Kyoya Legacy. " I can feel Kyoya, and three other people. I don't know who the others are." He said, not stuttering for once. When it came to Kyoya Legacy and the possibility of danger, Shino got his shit together. That was why he used to be such a good support user back in high school.

Shino opened his eyes just in time to see Ichiro approach him and grab him by the shirt, pulling him up. " W-w-w-w--" He stuttered, holding his hands up defensively, wincing when his back hit the wall. Ichiro's grip tightened on his shirt and Shino let out another cry. What had he done wrong?!

" Tell me where they are." Ichiro growled in irrational anger. Actually, he hadn't meant to come off as so angry, but he didn't want another close shave with Kyoya that he had with Subaru. And plus, he never really like Shino anyway, so he liked to make the kid cry once in a while.

Shino's heart was going in overtime as his mind tried to figure out what was going on. " W-w-w-w, Ichi-chi-chiro, l-l-let m-m-m-me go," he whined, the tears already welling in his eyes. His eyes darted from Ichiro to Katamari in panic, but quickly closed his eyes before Ichiro did something else. " U-uh, t-t-t-t-t-they're in the monorail station!" He blurted out like word vomit.

Ichiro released him and Shino sunk to the floor, his hand grabbing his heart. He was alive! Thank God! Ichiro quickly unzipped his jacket and threw it at Shino, " Give this to Subaru when he wakes up, his shirt will be all bloody." He ordered, putting his spare ofudas in his pants pocket and opened the library doors. " Take care Katamari." And then he left.

Still a bit ruffled, Shino crawled over to Katamari and picked up his forgotten magazine and began to fan him with it, shaking even more than before. He was going to ask Katamari why Ichiro hated him so much, but a shuffling from the table made him stop. He looked up to see that the wounded man, apparently named Subaru, sit up. " U-um, Katamari, h-he's awake..."

♫ gabriel ♫

" Takes your damn hands off of my wife, you bastard."

Gabriel turned to look at the source of the voice, but it was in vain because he was met with a fist. The force of the punch sent him flying backwards into the air, his world going upside down. This wasn't the first time Gabriel had been hit like this, so he could only prepare himself to either hit the wall or the ground. But to his surprise, he didn't hit a wall, but was caught by something. " What?" he questioned, opening his eyes to find a beautiful person standing above him. Before he realized what was going on, the man faded and another one approached him, this one being Kyoya Legacy. " What's going on?" He asked, holding his head. His brain was still jumbled from Kieran's falcon punch and it took a few seconds before he could put it all together.

With Kyoya's aid, he got to his feet and rubbed his nose, hoping it was bleeding. He hated blood. " What? Oh, them? They're assassins..." He trailed off, remembering what he had been saying before getting punched. " And that woman, she is the mother of my child!!" He smiled to himself. Now that his five year search was over, it felt like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

♫ mizuki ♫

Mizuki blinked. She too didn't know what was going on. One minute, the blonde guy was telling her that she was the mother of his child, and then he was flying through the air the next. Turning to Kieran, she scowled, " Kieran, what the fuck is going on!" She demanded as if he had all the answers because she as sure as hell didn't. " He said some bullshit about having a kid and the past and France and-holy shit!" She gasped. Now that she thought about it, she had been in France a few years ago, visiting Emi. While she was there, she and her sister got into a car accident. Emi only got a scratch on her arm but Mizuki's head hit the dashboard and suffered a concussion. Her memories after that were fuzzy and unclear, so it was entirely possible for this guy to tell the truth!

" Oh fuck no!" She pushed Kieran out of the way and ran over to where Gabriel landed. She even pushed Kyoya out of the way and grabbed Gabriel by the shirt, pushing him against the wall that he would've landed on, " You! What were you saying about France?"

♫ gabriel&mizuki ♫

Gabriel smiled as he was pushed against the wall. He didn't remember Tristen's mother being so forceful, but he had to admit, he liked it. " We met at a party in France, don't you remember, mon chéri? We had hot, passionate sex on top of a table in the upstairs bedroom!" He said loud enough and clear enough so that Kieran could hear.

Mizuki's face paled. Jesus, this guy wasn't lying. She remembered the party and all, but she couldn't remember the other half of the story at all. But still. " Ugh!" With her grip still tight on Gabriel's shirt, she threw him to the floor and grabbed his long hair, pulling his head up by his golden strands, only to forcefully bang it against the concrete. " Fuck you! You're--you're lying! I would've remembered doing it with someone as disgusting as you!" But even though she was saying these words, the horrible feeling that he was right still lingered. But Mizuki wasn't ready to be a mother! Especially not with someone like this guy. He already looked like he was going to pass out. What a pussy! Even Kieran could withstand her violent attacks.

♥♥Katamari&Subaru♥♥

"Ah, thanks Shino..."he mumbled, feeling the air generated from Shino's magazine fan. Katamari didn't even notice Shino stop fanning him or see what Ichiro was doing because he was tired and plus it was dark. For a moment he actually did fall asleep but his light nap was interrupted when his ears picked up on his name.

"Take care, Katamari."

He muttered a quiet "See ya later" before he felt the nice mini breeze from Shino's fan. He smiled and rolled onto his side, raising his arms and gently grabbing Shino's trembling hands. Katamari often held his best friend to try and calm him down, ever since they became best friends. He heard Shino's nervous whisper about Subaru waking up and let go of his hands, pushing against the floor to support his weight when he sat up.

"Subaru? You awake?"he called out.

"Yes...but, what's going on?"asked the confused man. Despite his fatigue, Katamari stood up and turned around to speak to Subaru. He was glad that the table was behind him and not ten billion feet away. "I'm Katamari and my friend here is Shino."he explained. "Ichiro, our friend from high school, brought us here after he saved you from an assassin named Akito. My persona specializes in healing, so you should be fine."

Subaru touched his neck instinctively and felt the wound that had been inflicted on him.Akito...tried to kill me? he thought, feling a bit sad at the news. " Where is Ichiro now?"he asked. Katamari shrugged and sat back down on the floor. "I don't know, I took a nap after I healed you. Shino, did Ichiro mention where he was going?"

♥♥Akito♥♥

Akito sluggishly headed towards the monorail station, still drenched in Subaru's blood.

♥♥Kieran&Kyoya♥♥

"I'm going to kill you!"yelled Kieran, straight up refusing to believe Gabriel's words. The only reason Kieran wasn't pummeling Gabriel into the ground was because Mizuki was doing so herself, and Kyoya's hands were on his shoulders holding him back from joining her.

Kyoya winced as the blond's face slammed into the concrete; he needed to think of something to get her to stop! He couldn't hold back both Kieran and his wife so he decided to try and grab their attention.

"Forgive me for sticking my nose into his, but...wouldn't you know if you had carried a child for nine months?"he asked, directing his question at the woman. "Even if you've forgotten, then maybe somebody in your family knows the tru-"
Kyoya stopped mid-sentence, distracted because Kieran finally broke free from his grasp.
