A/N: Yes, I am perfectly aware of the personas' levels and skills (in P3:FES, at least). For the purposes of making this story more… realistic? believable? interesting? your choice… the author has made some tweaks and adjustments to the "mystery persona's" level and skills. It is to be understood that the persona's level is roughly 20-30 levels higher than Minato's, with high-level skills that have minimal MP cost.

"Oh no! It appears you've all been separated! Please, regroup immediately!" Fuuka announced through the communicator.

Just great. Minato thought darkly. He dashed through the golden halls, knowing full well the dangers of going solo firsthand. They were doing their best to train themselves and decided to always stick together when fighting foes in the higher levels of Tartarus. Fate can have a terribly twisted sense of humor at times.

He found Aigis immediately, who happened to be into the adjacent room. They both ran through the halls, eventually finding Misturu who just took down 2 shadows by herself. He smirked when he remembered Akihiko and Shijiro talking about the 'wrath of the ice queen' and to 'beware her executions'. Looks like Misturu was really living up to her name.

"There you two are. I'm glad I caught up with you." The red head wiped her sword clean as she spoke. "I came from the western side of this block and found no sign of anyone aside from Shadows and these stones". She handed Minato a turquoise and an amethyst. "Where is Amada?"

"We are presently unaware of Ken-kun's whereabouts, Kirijo-san" Aigis replied robotically. "Minato-kun and I came from the southern area, therefore, only the northern and eastern sides remain. Let us make haste and search for him at once".

The three nodded their heads and quickly rushed to the north, only finding the stairs to the next floor. They ran to the last unexplored area and soon found Ken fending off four Writhing Tiaras, the floating jellyfish-like shadows circling the child as they waited for his move.

"Amada! Hang in there!" Mitsuru quickly summoned Penthesilea and cast bufula on one of the shadows. The frigid attack proved effective to the shadow, knocking it down, but the three remaining shadows suddenly decided to go on the offensive and target the child.

Aigis summoned Palladion and cast Kill Rush on all the shadows, momentarily stunning them but just as quickly resumed charging Ken, who was frozen in place out of fear.

"Ken!" Just as Mitsuru screamed, Ken was surprised to see someone suddenly standing in front of him facing the shadows. It took him a second to realize it was Minato, whose eyes were glowing a dangerous red, his right hand holding his evoker and his left hand extended to face his enemies as he cast Mabufudyne.

The powerfully chilling blast that was released from the leader's hand encased all shadows in a huge block of ice before shattering and eliminating all the shadows with ease. As the spell ended, Minato's eyes reverted to his usual pale blue-gray color. He turned and offered a hand to Ken. "Are you alright?"

"S-… senpai. That was…" He took the offered hand and stood. "That was… SO COOL!" He grinned and hugged his leader before realizing he was acting out of character and gave a light cough. "I… I mean, thank you for saving me, Minato-senpai" he blushed as he looked away.

"Indeed. That was most impressive, Arisato" Misturu approached the two boys with Aigis closely behind her. "You have greatly improved."

"I agree. However, I was not able to see the persona when you cast such a high level spell. Why is that?" Aigis added.

Minato looked reluctant. "Well…. This recent persona I got is… shy" He lied and looked anywhere but at the girls' eyes.

"How strange. Still, there are many mysteries surrounding the persona as it is with the dark hour." Aigis pondered.

"True. What matters are Ken's safety and Arisato's excellent leadership and reflexes" Mitsuru complimented. Ken nodded in agreement.

"Thanks guys… Just… doing my job." He turned to face the direction of the stairs, more to hide the blush that formed on his cheeks. "Let's continue exploring the tower"

They continued climbing the tower until they reached the next floor guardian and defeated it easily thanks to Minato's newfound persona, before retiring to the dorms.

After closing the door to his room, Minato quickly leaned against the door and slid down, gasping in a strange kind of exhaustion. He was tired alright, but not from exploring Tartarus or fighting shadows. Heck, he lasted long enough until everyone in SEES got tired from training.

He slowly stripped off his SEES shirt until the cool air of the night kissed his heated skin. He moaned when he gently touched his throbbing manhood. Yes, he was tired from repressing his libido for so long. He lightly palmed himself, moaning quietly at the contact and silently cursing his fate. Maybe he shouldn't have agreed to that deal after all. What good was having such great powers when he had to suffer this each time he summoned the little devil.

Igor and Elizabeth looked at Minato when he uttered the mystery persona's name.

"Oh? Have you two met?" he asked expectantly.

Succubus smiled and answered for the boy. "Not really. We have only talked a few times, though this is the first time we get to see each other in person and I must say…" She sized up Minato with her eyes that were twinkling in mischief "You are… as they say, 'pretty easy on the eyes, kid.'"

Minato just stared, finding it difficult to let words out of his mouth; the shock from the recent events still dazing him.

Igor laughed while Elizabeth stepped in. "Master, it seems we may have a problem with this persona"

"Why is that?" He turned to his assistant. Minato shifted his eyes from the sexual being towards Elizabeth.

"It appears the boy isn't… strong enough to control this one." She pointed at the newly added page in the compendium detailing the devil's abilities and statistics and Igor saw the difference in level between the supposed summoner and the new persona.

"Oh dear. It seems you are correct, Elizabeth" the old man sighed.

"What does that mean? I can't summon her?" Minato voiced out after regaining his composure.

Succubus made a move to lie in the air on her left side, her head resting on her left hand as her right index finger casually drew random patterns on her right thigh, silently watching the interaction between the 3 occupants.

"I am afraid so. Your power isn't developed enough to be able to summon or control her in battle"

"That can't be! We successfully fused her! That's gotta mean something, right?"

Igor looked at Succubus while lost in deep thought before stating "That is true. Even if an unexpected fusion occurs, the usual product- the persona- is often something or someone the summoner can safely call out." He turned to the boy. "This is indeed a first time even for me"

Minato remained quiet. What good was getting a strong persona if he couldn't use it? He calmly thought about the possible repercussions. Does this mean he couldn't control the persona? That there's a chance she might turn on his teammates, or worse, himself? If so, then he'd rather keep the being sealed in the compendium until the time came when he can safely summon her.

A light chuckling brought the teen out of his musings.

"Calm down, gentlemen. I do not… bite" She winked at Minato, who blushed a little. "Also, I do not need to physically manifest just so he can use my powers"

"Huh?"

"It means, dear boy, I can share my powers with you without having to appear during battle. Instead, you will be casting my spells using your own body" She smiled alluringly.

Elizabeth faced the persona. "That still does not solve the issue about the difference in level. Who knows what may happen if he summons a being as strong as you in battle. He may sustain injuries by doing so"

Succubus turned to face the woman. "Excellent observation, but do not worry. You know how personas are summoned right? Humans shoot evokers at their heads, we come and cast our spells, and then we vanish as we return to our summoner" she stated calmly. "In this case, since I cannot manifest, the boy will have to do the casting. Simple as that."

Minato eyed the persona warily. "Are there… any negative effects about this… uh… type of summoning?"

The devil grinned and floated beside Minato. "That depends on your definition of 'negative', my dear boy". She floated higher once more and twirled gracefully in the air. "I cannot control your body, if that is what worries you. However…" she turned to face the boy "The more you use me… the greater the chances of you being able to… resonate… with my… urges" she smiled seductively.

"What does that mean?"

"It simply means you feel what I feel"

Minato turned to Igor as the demon lazily floated around. "What do you think?"

The old man placed his hands on the arm rest and tilted his head up, staring at nothing in particular. "As I understand it, you will need to manually cast the spells whenever you call upon her since she could not manifest. Personally, I do not think that would be a problem for you. However," he glanced at the demon. "I am more concerned about the… side effects you will be experiencing, what with her background and all"

"I don't understand"

Elizabeth filled in for her master. "She is a succubus- A dream demon of sexual intercourse; the female counterpart of incubus. She thrives on mating with men while they sleep and absorbing their semen"

Minato's face turned beet-red and almost fainted.

He slowly got up to take his pants off, leaving only his boxers on and moving to lie on his bed after shutting the lights. He was burning up. He needed relief. He slipped one hand under his boxers, moaning at the long-awaited contact, stroking tightly and rhythmically.

His cheeks burned brightly with shame as lewd images filled his mind. It was normal for any hormonal teen to indulge in fantasies of sexual gratification, however, Minato couldn't help but feel guilty when his thoughts displayed various intimate scenarios involving himself and certain people he never would have dreamed sharing these kinds of… acts with.

He left the Velvet room, feeling new power surge within him. Even if the compendium revealed skills that guaranteed success in his upcoming battles such as –dyne level spells and high counter, Minato almost declined taking Succubus as a partner until he was of the appropriate level to control her… if not for the devil's promise.

As he rode the train home, sitting in one of the empty seats, he conversed once more with the new being in his head, still needing the assurance that he'll eventually master her and that no harm should befall him or his teammates.

"Are you… sure about that?"

"Of course" she sounded amused. "Do not worry too much. I am certain you will be able to handle it" he felt the devil wink at him.

Uneasiness slowly crept to him. "Aren't there any other… do-able choices besides those that you said?" he sighed, remembering the devil's conditions. "I mean… getting strong enough to summon you perfectly definitely isn't happening anytime soon… unless I train like a madman at Tartarus…"

"Who knows?" the devil chimed. "That just leaves the other option then…"

Here, Minato blushed. There was no way he could go for the other deal. "B-… but I… I don't-"

He heard malicious laughter reverberating in his head before Succubus cleared her throat to speak. "Listen, this is but a small price to pay for summoning a persona of higher caliber than you, but I would not have offered my… services… if I did not think you would be able to manage…" she giggled before continuing "I personally think the deal is fair. You will be able to summon me with completely, no strings attached, IF you manage to fulfill only one of two conditions. Either you get strong very soon… or…"

"Prove that love is lust refined" he sighed.

"And not just with theory" he felt her grin. "You must show it… using a real, live relationship with another"

Soft pants and gasps of pleasure filled the room as Minato's strokes became firmer and faster. He cursed the residual effects of having Succubus's urges flowing through him. He had never before been enslaved this much by his body. A strange hunger that wanted nothing more than immediate satisfaction burned within him.

Being a female demon of the night that thrives on sex, he couldn't help but feel the persona's passionate urges coursing through his being, despite his disagreement with the gender preference that came along with it. His mind shamelessly provided him with naked images of men whom he spent much time with during the day. Images of his classmate Kenji in the classroom looking especially delectable, as his mind was forced to think so, with a half-open shirt, the top three buttons undone to cool his bare chest, or as he bathed with Kazushi after PE, droplets of warm water running down his well-toned body; his breath hitched when his fantasies took a turn to a full blown make out session in the showers or himself being bent over the desk as he was pounded into completion.

"Nnn…" he bit his other hand to stifle the shameful moans that flowed from his lips like syrup, but the images didn't stop there. It became worse with his fantasies about his two male senpai and Junpei, whom he took together into Tartarus just mere minutes ago. He imagined tracing his fingers across Akihiko's muscular biceps to feel the raw strength hidden within, wondered if Junpei's goatee would send deliciously ticklish sensations to his fingers, and hoped he would be allowed to run his hands down Shinjiro's undoubtedly well-cut torso and hopefully even lower into unchartered areas.

A particularly load moan escaped his lips; hot tears fell from his eyes as his fantasies felt almost painfully real. His climax crept closer and closer when his imagination became wild, turning the latest Tartarus group into an animalistic orgy, fulfilling the four boys' carnal needs; Akihiko's prick being slipped into his mouth as he sucked on it with vigor, Junpei tracing his nipples using his tongue and stroking both their heated erections, and Shinjiro between his legs, thrusting into him with abandon as he let out loud groans of satisfaction.

It all felt so good. It all felt real. He was dangerously close to completion.

"That's the thing!" Minato voiced, exasperated "I can't… It feels like I'll be using people as some sort of… tool"

"With a mindset such as that, you will definitely have difficulties completing the task." She purred "Trust me, you will do just fine"

He was lost in thought. How could he possibly fulfill that request? The thought of wooing someone using sex was just so… impossible to him. He was startled from his musings when the intercom suddenly announced the train's arrival at Iwatodai station. He slowly got up and casually made his way to the dorm, trying to hide the mad blush present in his face since leaving the Velvet room.

"I… I've never even… dated before… much less….. uhm…" He couldn't continue. The idea of having sex with someone was… not something he thought he'd be doing anytime soon. Yes, Minato is a virgin. He wasn't one of those people who were 'saving it for marriage', rather, only doing it with 'someone special'.

"I don't think anyone will…. Uhm… Like me in that way…"

A highly amused, yet still sexy laughter echoed in his mind so loud, he had to stop walking and hold his head, feeling it might explode from such intensity.

"With looks like yours, I would not be surprised if women started spreading their legs at the sight of you". Minato almost tripped at the idea. "Unless of course, you would rather have a man up your…-"

The conversation ended when he finally tripped face-first into the concrete floor of the sidewalk.

"Aa-….AHhh!" a wanton moan escaped his lips upon as a mind-blowing orgasm took hold of his entire being, hot ribbons of man juice spurting from his length, heavily soaking his boxers. His heart beating wildly in his chest, his breathing uneven, and his vision white from such a vivid imagination. The night air felt wonderful on his skin, cooling the final few fires running through him. He had never had such a sinfully delicious fantasy before, much less a fantasy of a man... or in this case, men!

As he slowly came down from his high, and his breathing started evening out, he felt hot tears slowly flow from his eyes as he lay down looking at the ceiling. Shame. He felt ashamed of himself for thinking of his male friends in such a lewd way... but it was nothing compared to the feeling of guilt… when, from the deepest pits of his being which he would never admit out loud….

He enjoyed it.
