Chapter One

This day was supposed to be an easy get-in get-out mission. Yet there they were, surrounded by powerful shadows with little Health and SP. Oracle had told them of a rare event that was occurring in the deeper parts of Mementos where the shadows would give a lot of Experience if they were killed along with powerful items and money. Seeing as they needed more funds for the group activities they took this chance without a heartbeat.

"We need to find a way out, stat!" Panther stated in a shaky breath.

"I'm already on it" Oracle said in a worried voice. "Although I don't think we will make it out."

"Are you for real?" Skull yelled. "You gotta be effin kidding me, this is not how it will end."

"Calm down everyone I got a trick up my sleeve." Announced the leader of the group.

"Well? What are you waiting for?" Queen uttered with anger in her voice.

He pulled out a small, clouded orb that broken upon contact. A huge cloud of smoke had surrounded the group and shadows.

"NOW, RUN!"

And just like that they found themselves running to the nearest safe room. Once there, Joker had asked if anyone was injured severely. Most were okay with the exception of one.

"J-joker I don't feel too good..." The auburn hair girl muttered as she was holding her side. Everyone had failed to notice that Noir had been hit by a good amount of Nuclear attacks. Getting bombarded by Frei when they were battling the shadows. Joker reached out into his jacket and pulled out the medicine that Takemi had sold him. Everyone else was squeamish when they saw her injury.

"If you guys feel uncomfortable then you guys should wait above, we will catch up." Joker said in a soothing tone.

"But what would happen to you guys?" Queen had asked the two masked teens.

"All of the nights I stayed up when Mona went to bed were used making tools. I have a couple of Goho-M's so we will use that to get to the top of Mementos.

The cat-like creature spoke in a very irritated manor, "Joker, how often do you stay up?"

"Like three times a week." The boy said with a grin on his face that showed no remorse for his actions. "It's hard to sleep when your full of adrenaline so I make infiltration tools and even tend the plant in the room."

Noir's eyes began to light up as he actually took all the things she taught him and use it in his own life with the plants on the roof of Shujin Academy.

"Back to the subject, are you sure you'll be okay?" The adviser questioned them.

"Yeah we will be fine."

"Alright make sure to be up there in no more than 20 minutes, got it?"

"Yes, we understand." Noir said in a voice that was full of pain.

And just like that the group had left the two alone to patch her up.

"Noir, show me how bad of an injury we are dealing with." Joker said.

As Noir began to remove her arms from the sight in which she was injured, blood slowly trickled down her suit. In a swift motion, Joker had put some ointment on a rag and spoke in a caring tone,

"Alright this is going to sting a bit, if it's too much just motion to stop it."

Noir's gaze had shifted to that of the grey eyed thief and she began to nodded slowly. And just like that her side began to burn as if she were hit with an Agilao. Noir began to wonder...

When I am done with this, I am going to hunt that shadow down, torture it, and then when it begs for mercy shoot it with everything that Milady has.

"How are you holding up Noir?" Joker question the young woman.

"Just fine Joker, why do you ask?"

"Because your gripping the seat like your a loan shark trying to get money out of a deadbeat client." Joker replied with a devilish smirk on his face.

She couldn't help but giggle at the joke he had made. Soon after that, she had her wounds healed completely. It was a scary sight the first time she had been healed from the medicine in the Metaverse. The way it did that was by regenerating at a fast speed and strengthening it to reduce further damage.

"Thank you Joker" Noir said as she gave him a hug. "I feel much better thanks to your quick wit.

Joker began to blush as he had felt the warmth emanating off of her body.

"As long as you feel better I am happy." He said trying to hide the searing blush he had.

Haru is so cute, even though all I did was patch her up she wanted felt so appreciative. Her body is so warm and soft. I would do anything for her.

His affection for the fluffy haired woman began during their trip to Hawaii when he noticed that she was sitting in the shade . He mustered up the courage to ask whether or not she believed in the Phantom Thieves when Ryuji and Yusuke had been asking the Americans if they had heard about the Phantom Thieves. He asked for her name and what she was doing sitting by herself. She seemed so soothed and relaxed as though nothing odd had happened in their time in Japan. That was until his friends returned from buying the sunscreen and talking to the locals about what their opinions were on the Phantom Thieves.

The two thieves were in each other's arms like sea otters trying not to be carried away by the waves of the ocean.

Haru embraced the hug and began to smell him. The intoxicating aroma of coffee and curry had been all over him like cologne and she was enjoying every bit of it.

"Back there I heard you mention something about gardening in your room?" The woman said with a warm smile.

"Yeah, all the time we spent tending the garden had gave me the urge to start growing other stuff."

"Maybe we could go the flower shop in Shinjuku or the Underground Mall in Shibuya for more plants." Noir stated in an excited tone that made Joker smile.

"That would be nice."

"How does this Sunday sound?" Noir said with a slight blush on her face.

"Works for me."

"Well then if that's out of the way we should get going now, the others must be worried sick."

"Your right"

He reached into the pocket of his coat and pulled out a box labeled Emergency Only and pulled out the Goho-M. He still doesn't understand the Metaverse all too well and the fact that he was just in the rest area of Mementos to the elevator that was perched directly in front of Mementos.

"You made it back." Queen had said with a relieved look on her face.

"All I'm glad for is that you guys made it back safe and sound" Their leader voiced as he went up to everyone. "Follow me, it is time for the victors to receive their spoils."

Among the 7 thieves they split the money they acquired and each stood to gain about 35,000¥.

With their hefty earnings they all left Mementos with their wallets thicker than when they first arrived.
