Persona 4 RP Story/Dungeon

"Wait a second," Reika came out of the room following everyone, "I want to come too."

"Now to see if we can make it out of the hotel this time." Rai said laughing a bit.

"So uhhhhhhhhh what was that all about?" Chie asked puzzled when the group came out of the elevator.

"Uh..........that Stefan guy..............nevermind." Yomiko said facepalming.

"Hes kind of...........having a moment.............a pathetic moment." Masuyo said rolling his eyes.

"I see...........thats unfortunate. He seemed bothered earlier too." Yukiko said

"Earlier?" Yomiko asked.

"In the sauna." Chie said.

"Hes always bothered. In one way or another." Masuyo said snickering.

"Ewwww..........." Chie said in disgust

"...............................I dont...............get it." Yukiko said dryly

"Best if you don't, Amagi-senpai." Shinta said with a sigh.

"It is best," Rai said sighing

"Hello Amagi-Senpai," Reika waved to her.

"So whats on the agenda Karin? You seem like the mastermind." Masuyo said

Karin looked over at Masuyo confused, "Me? Well, like I said I just wanted to pick up a souvenir for my Grandma before I spent all my money on myself."

"Then lets do that first." he said.

"...." Stefan laid motionless on the bed, staring up at the ceiling. "Ow." He reached his hand to his head, feeling it throbbing a bit. "Man...Ow...Ow!" The pain in his head getting worse, he sat up, massaging his temples trying to ease the pain. "OW! OW! AAAAAGGGHHH!!!!!" The pain in his head so throbbing, Stefan fell off the bed without even noticing.

"Pathetic." He heard a familiar voice say, the only thing that pierced his agony.

"W-what the hell?!" He screamed.

"You. You're goddam pathetic. You embrace me, embrace the darkness within you, and you do great for a little while, but now you're just a fucking pansy. It's even WORSE than when you tried being a goodie-goodie." The voice said.

"Y-you..!" Stefan clutched his head and opened his eyes, getting used to the pain, he saw Ippon-Dattara materializing in front of him. The persona shifted into the form of his old shadow.

"Geeze. Look at you. You've become so tame. You're barely a fragment of the cut-throat kid you were even two months ago."

"W-what are you saying? I-Nrgh.....I can't change who I am?" Stefan said through his teeth.

"Tch. That's not the problem here. You are who you are, and you can change that. But you're doing so much stuff against your nature that it sickens you. And you don't even realize it. Well, I do. And I am you after all. Did you forget that? You probably wouldn't realize this now, but you wouldn't have been able to summon me if you tried. I've....rejected you."

"...What?"

"You heard me."

"Geeze...Rejected even by myself. I've reached a new-"

"SEE! THAT'S WHAT THE HELL I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!" The Shadow screamed and grabbed Stefan by the collar of his shirt, the pain in his head at an all time high. "LOOK AT YOU! YOU'VE COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN YOUR ENTIRE IDENTITY! A MONTH AGO YOU WOULD HAVE TRIED TO BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF ME FOR THAT! DEEP IN THE BACK OF YOUR MIND YOU KNOW IT TOO."

"...." The pain was starting to subside. "...Well...you are me after all. ...You're right..."

"Tch!" The pain returned, the shadow tossed him across the room. "You just don't get it yet! Cut the passive shit! You're not a dove! You're a hawk! A wild man! A beast! You're jealous of this Masuyo loser, that Rai pansy, and that Shinta scum for what?! Cause they have a woman!? What happened to that Stefan that stood up on his own two legs, huh?!"

"......" Stefan stood. "...You're right." A new look appeared in his eyes.

"...That's more like it." The shadow folded it's arms.

"After all. I'm a King." Stefan straightened his back, with new confidence. "I get it now."

"...I don't think you get it yet. But you're at least back to where you belong." With that the shadow formed back into Ippon Dattara and dispersed. The pain in Stefan's head ceased.

"..." He checked himself in the mirror, put his hat back on and headed for the elevator.

"What were you wanting to get her for a souvenir?" Rai said thinking of possible things she could buy.

"I dunno," Karin thought for a moment, "maybe something cheap like a fan or something."

"Ah. I should get one for auntie." Yomiko said to Karin.

"Hey look. The elevator light is showing that someone is coming from the top floor. Maybe Stefan's done being a bitch." Masuyo said pointing to the elevator.

"Maybe," Rai shuffled his feet a bit, "Who knows."

"Should we wait to see?" Reika said looking at the rest of the group.

"We're gonna spend so much time saying "I dunno, what do you guys think?" that we might as well." Yomiko said.

"Hah. Probably." Masuyo said

"..Yo." Stefan waved to the group, walking out of the elevator. He pulled Yukiko and Chie close, one of them hanging off each arm. "Let's go ladies. We have a city to explore."

"Huh?"

"Er- O-okay."

"See you all later!" Stefan waved to them walking out of the hotel, Chie and Yukiko looking puzzled.

"What the hell...." Rai paused not even able to process what just happened.

"What the-" Masuyo started.

"What an asshole!" Yomiko shouted infuriated. "Acting like a womanizer all of a sudden with that smug attitude!"

"Whoah whoah cool it Yomi" Masuyo said to her.

"Lets follow them. Im not letting him do what was done to my mom! If that happened and we could have stopped it, I............I.........!"

"Got it got it." Masuyo said sighing. "Besides, we're still exploring anyways right? Also, normally Chie would have kicked this guy in the gut."

"Thats very odd," Rai put his hands in his pockets, "Let's go then."

"Um..Were they your friends? Don't you think we should all hang out with them?" Chie asked Stefan.

"Nope. Today, it's just gonna be me and you two lovely ladies." Stefan said smugly.

"H-huh? H-hey! Watch what you say!" Chie said, pulling out of his arm.

"What's the big deal Chie? We were gonna hang out with him anyway, why not?" Yukiko said.

"What? What's gotten into you Yukiko?" Chie protested.

"Come on. What's the worst that could happen? You're the security chief of Rise's personal guard. So long as your here he won't try anything funny. And if he did, he'd end up face first on the pavement."

"....I know that was all stuff Chie could do, but still I'm more frightened of you..."

"Sheesh...I guess I HAVE to go now if you're going..." Chie took his arm again. "So where are we going anyway?"

"Beats me. I've never been here. Is there a shrine nearby? I want to pay my respects." Stefan said.

"See, he's got good morals Chie. I'm sure he'll be a gentlemen. I'll show you the way." Yukiko started moving along, Chie still a bit reluctant about the situation.

"Any reason Chie hasn't kicked his face into the pavement yet guys?" Masuyo asked.

"I dunno............I dont know her. Anyways we cant lose them." Yomiko said quietly following the three

"I honestly was expecting Yukiko to give him the cold shoulder followed by Chie beating him down." Rai said as they continued walking.

"Hm. You get the feeling we're being followed?" Stefan asked looking behind his shoulder.

"It's probably just your imagination." Yukiko said.

"Well, it might be a good thing, we don't really know this guy at all." Chie said.

"Will you knock it off Chie? He's obviously a bit fragile right now. Let's give him a break, huh?"

"Actually, no. I feel great now. I just needed a good wake up call."

Masuyo tightly stuck his back up against a tree. He pulled Yomiko up against him. "Shiiiiiiiiiiiit he almost saw us." he whispered.

"Y-yeah............." she said

"How far is it to the shrine anyway?" Stefan asked.

"It's a bit of a walk, but maybe we can stop at some of the stores along the way."

"Oh yeah! There's a shop that sells kung-fu movies along the way! They have new ones every year! We should check it out!"

"....Totally. King-fu is pretty awesome. I know a few moves myself." Stefan bragged suavely.

"Hahahaha! I doubt you could take on Chie though, she's the master." Yukiko laughed.

"I dunno. Might be fun to tangle with you Chie." He paused. "...All for fun though."

"Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame-MGGGGGMMPHHH!" Masuyo said as Yomiko covered his mouth to shut him up.

"Quiet! Or do you wanna be caught!?" she whispered to him angrily

"..." Stefan glared behind him. "Geeze. That guy can't stay quiet for less than 5 minutes." He said, ignoring his confirmed tail.

"What was that?" Yukiko asked.

"Nothin. Just talking to myself."
