Persona 4 RP Phase 2

Hah..guess that friggin chick did some good. This is more like it! Gekidou smirked as he continued his guitar solo, still headbanging.

Maeko's eye twitched as her grip on her harpoon tightened. "..What?" she asked angrily.

"Th-th-they went in?" Yomiko said afraid Maeko was gonna impale her.


"Hi hiiiiiiiii~" Ami said. "Please enjoy the show!" she said as she blew a kiss at the crowd.

"Oh my lord, she may be the next Risette!" a boy said red in the face.
"Shes already better!" another boy said.
"She's annoying........" a girl complained. "But the boy rocking out is definitely a winner."

"Tee hee. How bout that Geki?" Ami asked Gekidou smiling.


"Okay, learned my lesson last time in here. Ignore that aura. Get to the elevator!" Masuyo said to the other two.

"Got it!" Misaki said as she followed.

"Arrgh..." Maeko growled, she dropped her harpoon to the side, and fired it; it impaled the floor. She retracted her harpoon before stomping back to her room and grabbing her fishing rod. She then stormed out, headed towards the river.

"Hah, not bad, not bad!" Gekidou replied. He finished off his guitar solo and held his hand in the air. "Alright!! Rock on Inabaaa!!" He shouted, a large smirk on his face.

The crowd went wild and grew larger and larger.

"ANOTHER! ANOTHER!" the people shouted.

"Hehe! I knew being easy on the eyes would get you more fans than you could have ever hoped!" Ami said to Gekidou sticking her tounge out with a wink.

"Haha!! My kinda crowd!!" Gekidou shouted, getting the crowd riled up, ignoring Ami. He shouted again in excitment as he started up another song.

Maeko made her way to the river, wearing an angry expression. "Arggh...friggin idiots, I should've gone with them! He said they'd tell me when they left.."

"I remember you asking me if I wanted to go on a date." Rodrigo winked, leaning back in the chair.

"...Okay." Stefan followed after Misaki and Masuyo, checking the surroundings for shadows.

"Oh. That was to get away from my sister." Chiaki said with a nervous laugh.


The group entered the elevator

The elevator closed and it rose up to top slowly. It opened up with another ding. A small white hallway was in front of the group. An intricate door at the end of it. Muffled shouting could be heard from behind.

"Heh. I figured as much. Kinda disappointing." He laughed. "Seriously, what's her deal? Seems like more than just wanting the best from your kid."

***

"...Sounds like our boy is on the other side of that door." Stefan remarked. "Unless it's a manipulation of the shadow. You holding up okay Masuyo? I know you've been in here three times the past day."

As Maeko approached the river, she heard distant music coming from that direction. she looked to see the young man playing his guitar flamboyantly, surrounded by a crowd of various students. "...The young man from this morning.." Maeko groaned. You cannot be serious..the catch is scared off now...Maeko scowled, before sighing heavily. Now what..those asses left without me, and there's too much commotion at the river..

"Meh. I got nothing else to expend energy on in life really. Im fine." Masuyo said shaking his head with a shrug.

"Don't kid around. You're pushing yourself way too hard. Not only have you been in here multiple times but youve been running up and down town too." Misaki said with a stern tone. "Don't slip up in there." she said as she went to open the door.

"Agreed. Let me and Misaki handle the brunt of the attack. Hell, maybe we'll actually get him to accept his shadow without having to beat the crap out of it." Yeah, and maybe Karin will realize how much more handsome I am than Shinta too. He thought to himself, sighing.

"Fine fine." Masuyo said with a sigh. "Lets just get to it." he said opening the door.

"NO STOP IT!!!!" Kitao yelled. His shadow laughed at him and said sarcastically, "Aww. Is the little crybaby gonna stop me? Huh? You can't even stop one person, let alone me!" Kitao looked at the floor and started. "But..." The shadow cut him off. "Are you saying what I know isn't true? You don't even know yourself. How could you know me? You search and search and look and scramble for something to show that you have some sort of identity. But all you know is your so called..." He made a whiny voice and did air quotes. "ART." Kitao shook his head. The shadow continued. "Hah. You don't even know where to start. Your dead parents won't be able to help. And neither will your Auntie and your Uncle."
Kitao yelled at the Shadow. "DON'T YOU DARE SPEAK ABOUT THEM!!!" The shadow laughed again. "And there you go. Defending two people you don't even TRUST. You barely have gotten to know them. They'll drop you like everyone else did as soon as trouble comes along." Kitao dropped to his knees and yelled again, "YOUR LYING!!!" The shadow laughed harder, "Are you gonna keep shutting me out? The doubt in your mind that keeps you safe. The voice that tells you to protect yourself? You haven't made any friends in all this time cause your scared of getting burned. And for good reason, Not even those bastards that promised they would come for you are gonna save you from me!" He said laughing again.

"Hi." Masuyo said as he waved to the shadow. "Someone thinks he knows everything. " he said with a shake of his head.

"Why are you antagonizing it?" Misaki asked

"Eh. Just kinda what I do." He replied with his hands in his pockets. "Cmon cmon hop to it Mr.Shadow. you know what you wanna do now. I don't got all day y'know"

"What do you mean? I just want this brat to accept me. That's all I ever wanted! to be accepted. I've been rejected by everyone! Not one person has ever bothered to get to know me. Just the brat who tags graffiti. The brat who wouldn't go anywhere. The worthless brat who doesn't even know who he is." His shadow kept going as Kitao started to sob. He hunched over onto the floor. "Look at him. Worthless." Kitao hit the floor and shouted, "SHUT UP!" His shadow laughed again, "or what? Will you defend yourself for once? Will you defend what you care about? Will you defend that douchebag and that worthless bi-" He was cut off by a punch to the face from Kitao, tears rolling down his face. "I TOLD YOU!" He reached into his bag and pulled out a red can with a lighter. "DON'T YOU DARE TALK ABOUT THEM LIKE THAT!" He lit the lighter and sprayed the shadow with flame. It enveloped the shadow with flame and it fell over. He dropped the lighter and can. "You're not me, you piece of shit." He spat at the floor and turned to walk away. Laughter was heard and flame started fading. The shadow got up in an instant and grabbed Kitao from his neck. The shadow had a sinister grin on his face. Flame still lingering on his body. He slammed Kitao against the ground and kicked him away. He roared like a tiger as he was enveloped by shadow. The shadows dissipated and left a huge tiger behind. His eyes glowing red. Dark blue stripes on black fur. He has twin tails, one tipped with fire and the other tipped with sparks of electricity. It roared again at the group.

"Benn a long day eh boy? I'm sure we'll find something! Lets keep pushing!!!" Daikichi said to Forrester to keep a bright outlook!

"WOOF!" Forrester acknowledged.

Daikichi had searched the left side of the shopping district and now is passing through the flood river to continue his search. AS he and his dog travel, Daikichi notices a familiar face. "Yo....its that Maeko chick...the one with quite the edge to her. She is with that group and nobody never eally explained what the hell happened to me and all. I"m PRETTY sure having frosty the snowman with me isn't what you'd call normal around here." Daikichi said as he now begins to greet her. "YO! Maeko right?! Daikichi greets her.

"!!" Maeko became alert, turning around to Daikichi, aiming her harpoon. "..Oh. It's its you." She relaxed and lowered her harpoon, she looked down at his dog before turning back to Daikichi. "Do you need something?"

"Uh...yea, I thought you guys were gonna tell me why I got frosty as some kinda card now. Look...I don't wanna be a pain for ya but since your here, perhaps you got some time to spare for me to tell me what the hell is going on here?" Daikichis said. "Also, this is my lil pup Forrester! Forrester, this is someone who helped me out back there, her names Maeko!" Daikichi says nicely.

"WOOOOOOOF!!! Forrester acknowledges looking at Maeko happily wagging its tail.

"He friendly...wouldn't hurt anyone who didn't deserve or tried something stupid." Daikichi said.

"I don't mind dogs. They chase off cats." Maeko replied looking down at the dog. May as well..seeing as there's nothing else to do. "...Alright. I'll explain, but not here." Maeko explained, walking off. She gestured him to follow.

Gekidou was still at the river, causing more of an uproar with his guitar rifts as he attracted a larger crowd. "YEEAHH!! This is what I'm talking about!" He shouted, strumming a rock solo.

"Alright. Let's do what we gotta do here." Stefan called out, readying his axe. "This shadow's got nothing."

"Alrighty, lead the way fair lady! "Daikichi gestures to Maeko.

"WOOFFFF!!" Forresters acknowledges in excitement.

"Hm.." This guy's too excitable.. Maeko sighed as she continued to walk up to the apartments.

The tiger slowly started to circle the three. It used Power Charge with a low growl. Waiting for it's chance to strike.

"Oh yea...here some food I bought from earlier. I meant to make everyone breakfast but they just went up and left. I'll do it sometime later though. Pardon the luggage if its in the way, lookin for a new place to for me and my bud here. Inaba is a pretty cool town despite the TV shit though...kinda hard to forget that feeling i had in there." Daikichi said with a forlorn expression.

*Whine* Woof! Forrester looks at Daikichi.

"That aside...what's the story Maeko?" Daikichi said.
