One day...

(04/12/24)

Friday...

Yu Narukami walked across the halls of the precinct and entered the Office of the Captain, who had summoned him.

"Ah, hello Yu!" He greeted cheerfully.

"Hello Captain." Yu said, "May I have a seat?"

"Please do." The Captain said as Yu took a seat. "How's your stomach feeling?"

"Still very unbalanced at times, but I'm good." Yu said with a strained voice.

"And you were shot once by misfire before?" He asked.

"Well, yes, the incident happened in the firing range. No harm done, really." Yu said sheepishly.

"I'm surprised you haven't applied for a desk job by this point! I would have definitely wanted an office if I was you and be boss."

"The street is my office and the people are my boss, sir." Yu said honestly.

"Well, to be honest, your arrest records is at least 350% higher than most officers, which is why we're thinking of putting your skills to good use." He said.

Yu raised an eyebrow.

"We're making you Police Sergeant." He declares.

"I see..." Yu said with a neutral face, "I sense there's a catch."

"A catch? None at all!" He said as he chuckled, "Except, of course, you'll be reassigned in Inaba."

"Sorry, where?" Yu said, not sure if he heard it right.

"In Yasoinaba."

"But that's in the country..." Yu whispered, "I mean, isn't there an open position here in Tokyo?"

"None."

"Can I remain here as a Police Officer?" Yu asked.

"No."

"Do I have any say on this matter?

"None whatsoever." He said amiably.

"With all due respect, Sir, I kinda like it here in Tokyo." Yu protested.

"But you wrote in your resumé that you wanted to be transferred to the country." The Captain pointed out.

"In 30 years or so, yeah." Yu said hotly, "Okay, hold up, I want to talk to the Chief Superintendent. Stat."

"You want me to bother the Chief for this?" He asked.

"Yeah, that would be cool." Yu said, feeling slightly angry.

"Okay, but I'm warning you, he'll say exactly what I just said... Chief!" He said as the door swung open to reveal the tall and imposing Chief.

"Hello, Narukami-san! How are you?" Chief greeted.

"I'm doing well." Yu said grumpily.

"How are things at home?" He asked.

"Actually, he's been living at the safe house, for the witnesses." The Captain said.

"Is that right? Basically homeless!" The Chief laughed, "You're all packed to go then."

"Narukami-san, we're offering you delightful townhouse or condominium unit, your choice, in a place where, I think, you graduated High school. You know, that town changed a lot when you left. And its a personal favor for your Uncle, who is now Senior Superintendent of the Inaba Region, yes?"

"I don't know what to say..." Yu mumbled.

"Yes? You'll take it?" The said eagerly.

"No, I REALLY don't know what to say." Yu said louder, "This is nice and all, but let's get down to brass tacks here, please. I mean, come on! Inaba? There's nothing going on there at Inaba. Why Inaba?" Although Yu spent the best years of his life there, he was reluctant to come back there, since he his ex-girlfriend, Chie Satonaka, broke up with him. He only came back there when his friends, Inspector Shirogane and Kanji got married, but other than that, he avoided coming there.

"The fact of the matter is that you've been making us all look, well... lame."

"What?" Yu demanded.

"It's all about being a team player here, Narukami-san." The Captain said, "We appreciate your efforts, of course, but at your pace, you'd put every single one of us out of the job. You can't be the lone Samurai of Tokyo."

"But you can't just make people disappear!" Yu cried, his fury spiked.

"Correction: I can." He said, "You don't make the rules around here... I do." He said with a smile.

"Well, that's cool." Yu said with a smirk, "But there's one thing you two haven't taken into mind. And it's what everyone else will think of this-" Yu turned around to see his colleagues behind him. They were hosting a send-off party. HIS send-off party.

(04/16/24)

Tuesday...

The bullet train moved quickly as Yu woke up at the sound of the announcer, who said: "Arriving Yasoinaba City in thirty minutes."

"Yasoinaba City..." Yu mused. It had been several years since he last visited the City of Inaba, and back then, it wasn't even a city. He was very surprised at the rate of progress the city had undergone. In fact, he was more surprised that he wasn't there to witness it first-hand. But circumstances were as such that he just had to leave.

"Yu-kun, I... I don't love you anymore!" She said firmly.

"Why?" He had asked her years ago.

She didn't answer as Yu woke up from his induced dream, "Yasoinaba station."

Grunting, the 29-year old Police Sergeant stood up, grabbed his duffel bags and walked out of the bullet train with a mournful expression. His only consolations were meeting his beloved cousin Nanako again and his friends.

As he went out, he looked at the city map. He was surprised to find that the city expanded nearly five times its original size. What was once derided as a deserted 'boony' was now a bustling city. Go figure.

A beautiful young lady squealed when she saw Yu and jumped and embraced him.

"Is that... Nanako?" He cried in surprise as he hugged her back, "Oh my gosh, look at you! You've really grown!"

"I'm not a little girl anymore, Big Bro!" She kissed him on the cheek, "Well, how do you like the new Yasoinaba City?"

"It's... changed a lot in 13 years..." Yu mused, "Really, Nanako... It's so good to see you... I... You know, you don't really call me anymore."

Nanako looked hurt, "Because you don't answer! I always call you, but you never answer... You're like dad, always working." She muttered bitterly.

"Touché." Yu said, "It runs in the family, Kid."

"Hmph." Nanako huffed, "Anyway, I'll drive you to your-"

"You can drive?" Yu cried incredulously.

"Well, yeah." Nanako said shyly, "I mean, I'm 18, after all..."

"Okay..." Yu said, "Um... Is my room still vacant?"

"Huh? Yeah, of course..." Nanako said with curiosity.

"If it's fine with your Dad, could I live with you guys?" Yu asked.

Nanako's face brightened up, "Of course you can! Why, Dad was just telling me to ask you if you could stay with us instead! Of course, you couldn't, seeing as you have a new townhouse and all-"

"Heh... Like I'd take any scrap Tokyo Met would throw at me." Yu muttered, "Anyway, I'm under the impression... Chie... she's an officer, right? Well, she'd live fairly close."

"Big Bro..." Nanako faltered, "Why don't you make peace with her?"

Yu winced. He hated seeing Nanako begging, "Now, why would I do that? Come on, let's go home. Unless you don't want me-"

"No! No, please!" Nanako begged.

"Hahaha, I'm just pulling your leg, Nanako." Yu laughed as he got into the car with Nanako.

"So... Do you have a boyfriend?" Yu asked.

Nanako blushed, "No."

"Hehe..." Yu snickered, "Your dad and I would have arrested him if you had one."

A few minutes later, they arrived into the familiar home Yu stayed at years ago, "Ah... Home." He sighed, "At least it was before I ruined everything..."

"What are you talking about?" Nanako said, inclined to laugh, "It still is. Come on in!"

Yu entered the house. It remained the same, except notably neater than it was 13 years ago.

"Your stuff arrived here days ago." Nanako said, "Just go upstairs. You can sleep if you-"

"Actually, I'm not feeling sleepy. I'm a but hungry, actually." Yu said, "So, if you know a good restaurant, it's my treat."

Nanako squealed with delight as she nodded. Yu went up, left his things, and went down.

"I'm driving, Kid." Yu smiled as Nanako seemed relieved, "You're navigating."

Nanako nodded and smiled as they rode the car.

"Where to?" Yu asked while driving.

"Junes!" Nanako sighed.

"Heh... Of course." Yu chuckled. Same old Nanako.

Although Yu hadn't been in town for years, he knew where to pass and parked the car in front of Junes. Nanako skipped along beside her cousin.

"Big Bro?" Nanako squeaked to the tall Sargeant.

"Yeah?" Yu said.

"Can I hold your hand?"

Yu chuckled, "You're not six-years-old anymore, Nanako." He said as Nanako frowned, "But go ahead." She smiled warmly as she held his soft, gentle hands.

They entered Sabees Diner, which was located near the entrance. Ordering two steaming beef bowls, which Aika Nakamura served.

"Good to see you back, Narukami-san." She said stoically.

"Thanks, Aika." Yu said with a smile, "You in food service?"

"Yup. This is my own restaurant." She said.

"Well, good luck." Yu said.

"You too... Sergeant." Aika said mysteriously.

"H-How did she know...?" Yu whispered in fear to Nanako, "I never told anyone... Except you and your Dad..."

Nanako looked around, "Rumor has it... She's a witch!"

"Noooo!"

"Just kidding. Dad practically told the entire town about you." Nanako said simply, "He's coming here right now."

Yu then spied an obviously underaged teenager driving a car filled with more underaged teenagers, and they were smoking and drinking as well.

"Who are those guys?" Yu asked suspiciously.

"Those guys are the 'cool' kids." Nanako said with contempt, "Whatever that means... They think its cool running around, drinking, smoking and harassing people."

"Wait for your Dad here. I'll be right back." Yu said menacingly as Nanako nodded.

Yu marched towards the kids, who were playing Justin Beiber songs on full volume, which should be a crime in itself.

"Excuse me." Yu said sternly.

"Huh?"

"When's your birthday." He asked.

"Um... January 29." He mumbled.

"When?"

"Duh! Every January 29." He said as Yu grabbed the doobie he was smoking and inquired the teenager beside him.

"When's your birthday?" Yu growled.

"Ahhhh... Seventeenth of October, 1969...?"

"You're 55?"

"Yes...?"

He took the beer bottle and threw it away, "You. When's yours?"

The teen instead gave a high-pitch squeaked. Yu guesstimated that the teenagers haven't even hit puberty yet.

Yu arrived at the Police Station with the seven teenagers in tow as the deskman seemed surprised.

"And who might you be?" He asked.

"I'm Police Sergeant Yuu Narukami. Superintendent Dojima's nephew. I was transferred here from Tokyo Met." Yu announced.

"Ah, I see, and when do you start?" He asked.

"Oh, uh, tomorrow, actually." Yu said sheepishly.

The Deskman smiled, "Well, I see you already arrested the entire city."

"Not exactly..." Yu mumbled.

"Well, the Superintendent just left a while ago. I'll take these vagrants to the slammer." He said.

"Very good." Yu said as he made his way back. When he did, there was a Police Cruiser parked beside Nanako's car. Yu smiled at the opportunity to see his Uncle again.

But as he entered the restaurant, he saw all his friends seating with Nanako and his Uncle.

"There he is!" A ginger haired man wearing a suit cried, "Hey Partner!"

"Yosuke! Man, you're looking well." Yu said as he hugged his old friend.

"I'm the Branch Manager now, I'm the Boss of Junes!" Yosuke said proudly, "Look at you, Sergeant."

Then, Kanji and Teddie strode forward, "Hey, Senpai!" Kanji greeted, "Hadn't seen you for a long time."

"Hey, Kanji! You've grown in on me! What, are you 7 feet tall now?" Yu joked.

"Haha, very funny." Kanji said dryly, "You don't come by as often."

"Why? Did you miss me?" Yu said teasingly.

"The days were cold, living without you, Sensei!" Teddie cried as he embraced Yu, "The nights were long... Living without you!"

"Geez, Teddie, I miss you too." Yu patted his head, not sure wether to feel grateful or to pity Teddie.

Naoto stood up and extended a hand, "Good to finally see you again, Sergeant Narukami."

"Hey, Inspector Naoto-kun. I see you finally let your hair down." Yu said as he shook her hand, "Look at you, Mrs. Tatsumi!" Naoto smiled at that.

Yukiko waved at me as my stomach growled, "Hello, Yu-kun..." She said shyly, "How's your stomach feeling?"

Yu winced, "It's good now, don't worry." He didn't miss Yukiko, seeing as Yukiko makes frequent trips to Tokyo for business and would meet up with Yu at times.

Someone suddenly stood up and tackled Yu, "SENPAI!" She shouted as she jumped for him, only to land on top of him. She literally sat on the back of his head.

"Ah..." Rise said in embarrassment.

It hurt him, but he feel a pleasant sensation... He decided that, for the risk of nosebleed, he would not think impure thoughts. Also, Yu thought she broke his coccyx.

Without warning, Rise raised him up and planted a kiss, to Nanako's disapproval, "Heh! First kiss!" Rise shouted in triumph.

"Well, Rise, that's fine and all, but won't the media tear you to shreds for kissing a lowly Policeman rather than an Idol?" Yu asked as he stood up.

"Nah, they're all losers. I'd much rather be with a real modern-age Samurai." Rise said with disgust, "Anyway, we'll be seeing much of each other now, since Inaba is now a city."

Noticing the veteran Policeman, as well as his Commanding officer and Uncle sitting nearby, he greeted, "Uncle." with a hug.

His Uncle gave him a hug, "Impressive. Becoming Sergeant after only four years."

"Well, it's all in the blood." Yu said with a smile.

"Haha, I guess so." Dojima said,

"Let's eat!" Yu suggested as he took a seat beside Yukiko.

"We're still waiting for someone." Yosuke said.

Yu frowned and knew who it was. It became more evident when a Police Cruiser parked nearby. A beautiful woman wearing a Police Uniform stepped out and threw her hat back inside, allowing her golden brown locks to flow freely with the wind. She pulled out her Aviator shades, folded them and tucked them into her coat pocket, beside her badge. She strutted inside the restaurant and smiled when she saw Yu.

Yu had always thought that Chie hated him, but he was dead wrong when she ran up to him and hugged him like a bear.

"Heeeeey!" She said affectionately, "There's Yuu! I missed ya!"

Yu awkwardly patted her back, "H-Hey."

"Come on, don't be like that." She said cheerfully, "What happened to us years ago is history." Then, she saw Dojima and saluted, "Hello, Sir."

Dojima saluted back, "Officer Satonaka."

"Hehe. Hey guys." She greeted everyone. They greeted her cheerfully as Chie took a seat beside him, "You know, they brought a few teenagers into the jail for misdemeanor, underaged drinking, smoking and playing Beibs song, which is a crime in itself. That wasn't you who brought them in, was it, Sarge?" Chie asked whilst eating.

"Yeah, it was him!" Nanako said proudly, "That's my Big Bro, keeping the City safe."

"Impressive." Dojima noted, "Day Zero and you already made an arrest. I don't see why Tokyo Met would let you go so easily."

"I guess some people are afraid of progress." Yu said bitterly.

"You're going to fit in very well here." Dojima said.

"Yeah." Chie agreed, "Remember Otomo, Odagiri and the dudes who went to the Academy with us? They're working in the precinct as well."

"I see." Yu said as he ate.

"Hahaha, Odagiri's the guy who was set on fire by that smoker, right?" Yosuke said, laughing. Everyone joined in, except Yu. Apparently, that was an unforgettable moment.

"Oh, yeah, that was a hoot." Dojima said as he laughed, "I tell you, the precinct smelled like smoke for a week."

"Not to mention burning hair." Chie laughed, "Hidetoshi was pissed off. He chased that guy four blocks away with a bit of wood."

"Well, this town will be interesting." Yu said, "Who's my partner?"

"Since you're close to her, I've already gone through the paperwork and you are officially partnered with Officer Satonaka."

Yu groaned inaudibly as they finished their meal. After spending a long while chatting with everyone, they left to go home.

"Well, everything is here for you, Yu." Dojima said, "Your room, of course, hasn't been changed."

"Thanks for taking me in again, Uncle." Yu said thankfully, "I really didn't want to accept that Townhouse as recompense for my removal."

"It's fine." Dojima insisted, "I'm more glad that the house will be more lively. And someone to look after Nanako."

Nanako blushed.

"Thanks." Yu said, "If you guys will excuse me, I need to arrange my stuff and sleep."

"Alright." Dojima said, "Remember to be by the Station at 8:30."

"Good night, Big Bro!" Nanako said as she watched TV.

Yu went up, fixed his things, set his alarm and went to bed.

A/N: Just thought about taking a break from Persona 3. YuxChie is my OTP, alongside YuxYukiko. I was about to make YuxYukiko, but I'm still planning everything.

Hope you enjoy! Please review! \(^o^)/
