Desolate World: Shinjiro and Minako Fanfic

Disclaimer: I do not own Persona.

Chapter 1: Encounters

Not one day has passed when I never thought about the past. No matter what I do, I can't erase the sin of my hands. The hands of a murderer. Aki keeps telling me to come back, but to what? Kill an innocent bystander again? No, I'm not going to let history repeat itself.

"Hey Shinjiro, wanna go?"

My train of thought broke at mere words. Heh, something to kill time with.

"Bring it." I smirked.

I stood up from the steps I was sitting in and got in position. The other guy got in a boxing position. A boxer? Even better.

He made the first move by trying to punch me in the face. I ducked and with my hands still in my pockets, and punched him in the stomach.

"Ugh!" He fell to his knees and wrapped his stomach with his hands.

"You done yet?" I smirked.

"Hell no! I'm not finished yet!"

He staggered as he got his footing back and aimed again at my face. Tch! Again? This time I stepped to the side and headbutted him, knocking him backwards.

"Ugh, fine! You win! Dude, how the fuck did you know my moves?"

"I battle against a boxer everyday, compared to him though, you move like shit."

"Tch!"

*Beep Beep*

"Hmm?" The sound came from my phone. A text message?

I pulled out my phone to see a message from Aki. Speak of the devil.

"Hey, come to the hospital, I need you to bring some things for me. Thanks."

Tch. It doesn't look like I can say no. The hospital huh? Get into fights again Aki?

The next day….

Aki sent me the room number he was in and a list of things he needed from his room. Dumbass, next time he shouldn't battle it alone like an idiot he is. I opened the door to see him standing in the middle of the room, practicing his punches.

"You dumbass, you just got into the hospital. Why the hell are you training now?"

Aki stopped and looked at me. "It was a fluke this time, it just caught me off guard."

"And that's why you're an idiot."

"Heh, I know. You don't have to tell me twice."

"Here's your stuff, I gotta get going now."

"Hey, can you wait a minute? I gotta get something from the doctor, but wait a minute just I case I need something else from you."

"…..Fine. make it quick."

Aki dashed out the room. "What a waste of time." I sat on his hospital bed waiting for him to come back until I heard the knob click. It was three Gekkoukan High School students at the door. One of them was wearing a blue hat and had some facial hair; the other person was a light brunette with a pink uniform and the other girl had red eyes and a dark brown hair that was tied up in a pony tail.

"Umm….. Is Akihiko-Senpai here?"

"What are all you guys doing here?" Aki asked.

"We came to see you!" The red eyed girl added.

"I'm just here for a checkup."

"Am I done here?"

"Yeah, thanks for coming."

"Tch, I don't have time for this shit."

I stood up from the bed and walked past the group. I stopped in front of the girl with the headphones dangling from her neck.

"You…."

She looked at me with confusion.

"Never mind."

I walked past her and walked down the hallway. That girl…. she looks familiar. Where have I seen her? Tch, that's gonna bug me the whole day….

Evening, Paulownia Mall

After hours of walking, I sat at the fountain, the one that was at the side of the mall. I scratched my head. Where have I seen her?

"I'm sorry but your investment is on hold right now. In order to move your investment forward, I will need an additional 10,000 yen to process it. How bout it?"

A scam? At this time of night?

"Okay, here."

"!" That voice! I looked up to my right to see the girl I saw in the hospital room. The one with the headphones!

"I'll get in touch with you as soon as your riches has been made. Come back next time." The sketchy businessman left with a smirk on his face.

After he left, she sat down on the bench, putting on her earphones.

I got up and walked towards her. I stood in front of her, looking down on her. After a couple of minutes, she finally noticed me and looked up.

"Oh. You're that guy in the hospital." She smiled.

"Did you realize that you just got scammed?"

"Huh?"

I slapped my forehead with frustration. "You. Just. Got. Scammed. Therefore, you're an idiot. What kind of person gives away 10,000 yen to a stranger?"

"Actually, I gave him 20,000 yen earlier but he said I needed 10,000 yen to process it."

I wanted to kill myself. "That's even worse! You lost even more money!"

"It looked like he needed the money really bad; I don't mind losing money when I could make more of it."

My glare softened to her smile. What a carefree person. "Tch. Not my problem." I started to walk away from her.

"Thank you for caring though."

Her words took me by surprise. "Hmph."

What a weird girl. I took off from Paulownia Mall, knowing that I would come back to see her.

Notes:

Hello! Kuro-chan back to work~ This time I didn't write the first draft. I just typed what I wanted to write and boom my results~ I'm no good at writing at 3rd person perspective. Oh readers beware this is going to be a M rated fic cause now, I changed my name! Haha!

Anyways, I hope I got Shinjiro's personality down. He really is a kind sweetheart. Laters~
