Yakushima! and The truth?

        After a few months, we accomplish on saving Fuuka, killed 6 big bosses and also finals. Hahahha, it’s getting even more tense and tiring. But I’m lucky that I managed to do my best on exams. Mitsuru-senpai said if I get excellent grades. She will give an awesome gift. I wonder what it is though. Hahahhaha can’t wait for it!. There something else also, when we were trying to save Fuuka, Akihiko-senpai noticed that when its full moon the shadow will appear. So now we all know when will our next mission is. So, the only thing we have to do is to get ready for another shadow encounter. Also I need to get myself even stronger so that I can protect my friends. They are really precious to me.

 

      This upcoming summer vacation, Ikutsuki san gave us a break on our work for a while and go summer break in YAKUSHIMA! Yahoo! It’s a dream come true! Finally I will have my rest. No more tension and stress for a while. But…before our exam, Yukari was searching something about the kirijo group. She insist that Mitsuru-senpai is hiding something from us. So she ask Fuuka to get through the Kirijo group file and the result was…It was the Kirijo group that make Tartarus and The Dark Hour exist. I was shocked, but yet…all of it it’s the truth. Mitsuru-senpai told us the whole story about the Kirijo group, about her grandfather evil scheme and about Yukari late father. It was a shock for Yukari and for all of us too. But that was in the past, but Yukari and Mitsuru-senpai are both so silent to each other. Hope both of them are going to be okay.

           Days have passed, 20^th July 2009 Monday. They day where we go Ya-ku-shi-ma!! Yes the day has come! While arriving there, the atmosphere is not what me, Fuuka and Junpei anticipated. It was all gloomy. Poor Junpei, hope they all got their mood soon. Already arrive in Yakushima, the first thing was The Beach, the sound of a relaxing wave, the nice cold water. Ah this is life! But before that, have to put on my lotion and my swim suit. Junpei and Akihiko went to the Beach first.

           “Ahh..got my sandals on.. giving my feet a chance to breathe. Yep! summer’s here!” Junpei said excited to be in Yakushima

           “Ugh, could he BE any louder” Yukari said getting annoyed with Junpei’s action

           “*giggle* well that’s him. His just excited that we got a chances to get our day-off. Beside everyone’s happy too right?” I said with a big smile on my face

           “Well yeah your right” She said agreed on what I said “But yikes, what’s with Akihiko-senpai swimsuit? I can feel my face getting red just looking at it”

            “Haha..I just knew Akihiko-senpai will be wearing like that.  I already decide not to look. Hahha..” I said with and awkward laugh

            Well Akihiko-senpai swimsuit is sure weird. He tried to explain more details to Yukari chan but..Yukari stop him from telling it into more details. But, for some reason Junpei acting all weird.

             “Hey Junpei, what wrong with you? You look even dumber than usual.” Yukari said teasing him but what Yukari said is all true as usual

             “Maaaaan…talk about feast for the eyes,haha” Junpei answered with a creepo tone “ Yuka-tan wearing a more aggressive model that I had imagined. Could her boldness come from the confidence that he club training has toned her bod!?”

             “What!?” She said with an angry face

             “And check out our leader! She’s one cute mermaid herself! Those curves she usually keeps covered up are lookin’ good! I can’t tear my eyes away!” He said continuingly judging our swimsuits and body. He became a Pervert          

             “Haha…when did you became so pervert Junpei?. Stop looking at me!” I said felt a bit embarrassed cuz of Junpei.

             “Maaaaannn this place is so great! I love this place!” He said being such a pervert

            

           Well that’s Junpei sometimes can be stupei. He likes us girls wearing swimsuit. Well it is his first time seeing us wearing. But he shouldn’t have being such a pervert. Fuuka swimsuit is so cute it makes Junpei face really red. Hahaha she’s embarrassed with Junpei and feel a bit uneasy around Junpei too. Well if I was her, I might do the same. But, wow just wow. Mitsuru-senpai is so elegant and beautiful. She wears white swimsuit with a rose on her left side of her shoulder. Her skin is really flawless and white. Wow~ *giggle* this is the first time I see Mitsuru senpai shy.

           “Psst, Aikihiko-senpai. Level with me… Which one’s your type?” Junpei said whispering to Akihiko-senpai

           “ermm….” Akihiko said whispering with Junpei

           “Huh!? Really!?” Junpei said surprised

           “K-Keep your voice down!” Akihiko said

           “Maaann,really? No joke?” Junpei asked

           “What are you two smirking about?” Yukari interfered

           “Uhhh..nothing.” Junpei said in an odd way to speak

           “Okaaayyy” Yukari replied

           “Man! This is great! I’m in heaven!” Junpei said crying with enjoyment “How’ bout a swim!? Buh buh buh bump ba baaaa! Charge!”

           “Whoa! I’m not letting you win that easily!” Akihiko said follow Junpei to the ocean

           “Hahahaha! Both of them are like little kids! Cute~ *giggle*” I said smilling and laughing but suddenly I felt an uneasy feeling is like someone was watching me. I look around but no one here except the others. Then the feeling subsided.

           “Hmm? what’s wrong Minako-chan?” Fuuka said worrying

           “Oh, It’s nothing. I just felt someone was watching me…” I said reply still felt a bit awkward

           “Well maybe it’s just your imagination. Come on lets join them! Hahaha” Yukari said smilling and straight to the ocean with Fuuka

           “Yeah…sure” I replied decided to forget and run straight to the ocean

         After had fun splashing water to each other, I got off from the water and take a sip of mineral water that Akihiko-senpai brought. When I turned around and face the ocean, it’s surprised me how the water glimmers on the ocean. The ocean is really blue, the sky is blue it’s really a beautiful scene to watch. It’s like the scenery let you forget about others or making you not to worry about things that will happen. The sound of the ocean, I feel so calm. This kind of scenery always makes me smile and calm. It be sad if the world disappear. I still remember the past where I lost both of my parents. It gave a big impact to me. I dunno how they died. I just know the day they died. Every time I want to remember, this hazy picture always keep popping inside my head. But I couldn’t tell what it is still hazy. The reason I decided to changed school and went to Gekkoukan High School because I remember that my parents died somewhere in Port Island. I came back here because I want to regain my lost memory of my parent’s death. But every time I see them having fun. It makes me feel like I should forget my purpose and have fun to this beautiful world. Move forward to the bright future.

           After the fun in the beach, Mitsuru senpai father called us and gathered us at the Kirijo Yakushima mansion reception room. Her father is a bit serious and scary looking guy. I just hope I won’t get on his nerve. He began to speak.

           “From what I understand, Mitsuru has already given you the short version.” He said with a serious look

           “Oh..yes.” Yukari replied

           “Well it’s true..we adults are to blame. If I could’ve atoned for it with my life, I would have done so. Now I have no choice but to rely on you. What my father wanted to create with those monsters’ power was a time manipulated device.” He said telling us all the story of the Kirijo Group past

            “That’s what he was trying to do?” Mitsuru questioned

            “Imagine if you could control the flow of time…eliminate unwanted events before they occur. With such a device you could shape the future to your liking” He said

            “Damn that insane..” Junpei said a bit surprised

            “To shape the future to your linking…” I said griping both of my hands tightly.

            “However, under my father’s direction, the research began to stray from its original goal. In his later years, my father seemed to have only nihilism in his heart. Now that I think about it, his madness may have resulted from his struggle to break free from that…It’s only natural if u wanted to know to know the truth…and it’s my duty to tell you.” He said taking a remote that make the screen to go down and a clip was played.

             

            Old footage is being played on the large monitor on the room.

            “What’s this..?” Akihiko ask

            “This is the only existing footage of the accident, recorded by a scientist who was at the scene.” Takeharu Kirijo answered

            “A video recording?” Mitsuru question

            “(Its looks like the scene of an accident but..the video to poor I can’t see the man’s face clearly…)” I said mumbling to myself

           

            Suddenly an unknown voice speaking

            “I pray that this recording reaches safe hands…” He said

            “That voice…!?” Yukari said shocking hearing the man’s voice

      Surprisingly, the man voice was Yukari’s father. He recorded a tape of himself saying that one of his employees become obsessed with their idea. He said that the experiment should not be conceived and afraid on what his done might result unprecedented disaster. He said something about the entire world might have paid the price. The shadows that were amassed there have been dispersed as a result of the explosion. Dispersed? Does he mean by the shadow that appear on the full moon?. So the only way to end this is to eliminate all of them.

      “I am to blame this. I knew the risk, but I was blinded by the promise of success…and so I didn’t raise any objections..It is all my fault…” He said with a clearer face began to show

      “….!?” Yukari gasped with surprised and shock

     

      The man was visible on the screen for a brief moment, but the video ended after a large explosion.

      “..dad..” Yukari said

      “You mean…that was your…?”Fuuka said shocked on what Yukari said

      “Yukari…” I said worried about her

     

       Mitsuru father, telling us the man’s name that appeared on the screen. So it is her father. He was the head researcher at the time and a very talented man. Takeharu Kirijo said that Yukari’s father’s death it’s for The Kirijo Group to blame. Yukari…she trust his father that it wasn’t him who make the explosion. She trusted her father so much. But after what she heard. She began to think that it was his father caused it all. She think that Mitsuru hide it because she felt sorry for her. She yelled at Mitsuru-senpai and ran straight out.

      

        “Yukari…wait!!” I said calling her out when she ran off

        “*sigh* Minako..please go after her..” Mitsuru said asking me to go after her

        “I understand..” I answered and ran straight out.

        After a few minutes running, I found Yukari. She standing at the beach with her sad face. It must be hard for her to accept about it. Yukari…

        “Hey…” I said standing beside her trying to hear her thoughts

        “Minako, remember what I told you at the hospital? How my dad died when I was little..?” She asked her eyes are about to get watery

        “Yeah…I remember..” I answered

        “You understand now right..? He died in that incident. Nobody knew the truth, so there were all sorts of rumor. Because he was in charge of the research team, people were really mean to me and my mom…We even had to move a few times.” She said telling all her stories to make her heart relieved.

         “I’m sorry to hear that…It’s must’ve been tough..” I said trying to say something to make her happy but I was afraid to make my move

         “But all this time, I kept telling myself it wasn’t his fault. I loved him a lot, and I believed he’d never do anything wrong. I received a letter back in the spring. It was from him. Written ten years ago. It cracked me up cuz, even though it said “to my family,” It was pretty much all about me. That letter made me believe in him more..” She said gripping her hand tightly.

         “Yukari…” I said in slow voice

         “When I found out I had a special power, I thought it was fate. I was scared, but I thought if I cooperated with the Kirijo Group, I might find out what really happened. That’s why I agreed to fight using my persona.But, it turns out..all of that was for nothing…” She said her tears starting to flow.

         “That’s not true Yukari!” I said

         “Hahah, you’re just trying to make me feel better. Why does reality have to be so harsh..? I tried so hard to fight my fear, and this si what I get…Maybe I’m just jealous of Mitsuru-senpai. I mean why my father and not hers..? Haha…I’m horrible person, aren’t I?” She said tears still flowing to her chicks.

          “No you’re not!” I said accidently using a high tone

          “Tch..stop acting like you have all the answers!” She replied with an angry face and tone

          “I don’t have all the answer and I don’t know how you feel right now! But what I do know is that…I know how it feels to a lost a parent! Both of them to be precise!” I said suddenly my heart filled with anger.

          “Ah…” She said with a shocked face “I’m sorry..my head’s a mess. I’m so afraid..I don’t know what to do anymore…I’m totally lost…Tell me…what should I do..?”

          “Keep believing your dad” I said with a smile. I know I made the right choices. Even though it was her father doing it..but still it’s not his fault.

          “You mean keep believing?” She said

          “Yes..” I answered

          “*smiles* I’m sorry for acting like this. You’ve lost your parents, too. But, I’m alright now…I’m used to dealing with stressful situations. Thnks..” She said back to her cheerful self

          “It’s nothing.. when a friend get into tight situation we have to do what we can to help right? I’m here to listen to your troubles Yukari. You’re not alone. You have us. And we’ll always be with you.” I said with a warm smile

          She laughs like the usual Yukari I know. Suddenly we heard Junpei calling for us. He was worrying. It almost the Dark Hour so we have to get back to the mansion. On our way to the mansion, I suddenly felt the same feeling again. Someone was watching me, so I hurriedly went back to the mansion with Junpei and Yukari.
