"Or has a tracking device in it..."

Kojiro pulled his back out. "But yeah, I agree with you, Yamada is a sheep at best. I am convinced that if it weren't for the fact Mori is his main competition for Seiya's unyielding attention, he would also think he's the greatest guy in the world just because she says so. At least Kumiko and Frimun asked some real questions. Yamada's like that plant news reporter you hear about at a conference, the one paid to only ask easy questions or questions that make the speaker look good. He's that guy."

He turned the device over in his fingers, "Its shady, and risky, but like I said, its our only lead at the moment, so we will play along. Let the sheep follow Seiya blindly, and we'll stay on look out."

The day winds down to a close; maybe it's best that you take a few days off from exploring... You took a serious beating last night.

Eber finds the note on his door, smiles, and goes to bed early. Screw homework.

Kumiko awoke at the sound of her alarm clock telling her that it was time get up. She was going down a mental list of things that happened yesterday. 'Seiya-senpai is alive, we've got something to hopefully keep our Persona from going bat shit, we have a new 'headquarters'.

"I wonder if everyone is really okay with this. This is for the best, right?" She glanced over at her headset. At the very least they wouldn't have to sneak around as much.

---

As for Akinari and his awakening, it was going similarly as Kumiko's. At least with his brain going down a list. He was trying to figure out what in the world he ate yesterday that made him think his bed and a trash bin were his best friends. He felt absolutely terrible and to make matters worse, he would be letting Eber down by not having food ready. The boy turned over in bed and groaned into his pillow.

Takuya lay on his bed, face up, eyes open. He thought about everything that had happened. When he raised his hand, he felt Styx raise hers. When he looked around, he felt her eyes drink in everything around him. Such an odd feeling...

He had many questions, and many longings, but they had to wait. He had to give a little to get a head in this case. And what he was giving was patience. Lost of it. He stood up and got ready for his day, he had to take Seiya her new phone. By now it was down stairs waiting for him along with another horribly adorable panda key chain. He shook his head and Styx snarled.

"I must be patient. For now, all good things come to those who wait."

Yamada woke the next morning early again. He felt the stiffness n his body and decided it was time to get back on track. He stood, showered and made himself a decent breakfast and lunch before heading downstairs for run. He wondered if any of the others would be there too. He didn't particularly mind if they weren't. He could use this time alone to go over the past few days properly.

He started running as soon as he got downstairs not wanting to wait. There was only so much time before class anyway. Something still bothered him about Seiya's false death, but he wasn't sure just what it was since most of the topics related to it had been discussed. The doppelganger, the fight, the tunnels, sponsors, Kurado, their involvement. Seiya's involvement.

He had intended to inspect the AMP the night before but something hd stopped him, bothered him about it so, unlike his usual attitude about work he put it off. He told himself he'd look at it when he finished his run.

What was bothering him more than anything about this situation, however, was the rest of their collective team. Their ideas were wildly different and sometimes rather far removed but they got the job done. Usually. It still bothered him. The situation was resolved now, but the fact that he'd agreed to run bothered him. There was no way to have gone down there alone with his level of experience. He was sure that Seiya and Kurado would have been far ahead of him even if he did but it would have proved a point. No one in the group took him seriously. Miizushima a Eber were fine with him, Ishikawa was volatile toward everyone, but after that night he looked at him differently, or rather tried not to look at him at all, and Yoshida. Yoshida and he had been rivals previously before, but something was different about him, but just as angry, hateful and now he had Ishikawa to latch to. The two of them were far too much to handle as a pair. He was unsure if he'd ever heard much of any opinion come from Junsui, but she was all too eager to follow those two fierce avengers of nothing. They were always so angry and determined to do something about, but he wasn't quite certain they even knew why they were angry. He was starting to suspect that they just felt more comfortable that way.

If things continued on the way they were now he wasn't sure that he could handle this group as it was. He hoped that having appointed an official leader, having a room to their own, and having the backing of the Student Council secretary would put them on track, maybe give them new perspective, direction. He wasn't sure if that's how it would go, but he hoped that it would

Whatever happened though he wasn't going to run again if he could help it. He had no intention of being fool-hardy and just rushing in on his own. If there was no choice he wouldn't stay to just die, but if there was he swore he'd fight valiantly.

That thing that had overtaken Seiya two nights ago now had been fearsome, wretched. He could hardly believe that something like that could ever come from something like her. He needed to talk to her alone. Try and understand the nature of their personas better. He stayed deep in thought during the run, hardly noticing his surroundings at all.

Eber was downstairs, prepared for his morning cardiac exercise--sort of. He seemed concerned over Akinari's absence... Surely he couldn't still be upset with him after yesterday...

"Ah. Yamada-senpai. Are you going out?" he put his towel over his shoulders and frowned, "You go on ahead, I think Aki-kun may be sleeping in."

He jogged back across the lobby and took the stairs two at a time to get to the second floor and eventually Akinari's room. A light knock ought to do it, but... Best to maybe be a bit stronger.

"Aki-kun? You are going to miss your run." He paused, waiting. "You know if you miss it, you will have to make it up later," he teased.

Kojiro tossed his school work into his bag and let out a sigh. This whole situation was only getting more confusing by the minute. At least they possessed some sort of compass now, but was it really pointing in the right direction? They had no choice but to trust Seiya- they couldn't do this without her. But in the end did they really know anything about who Seiya was working for?

Hell, did any of them really know anything about Seiya? About the rest of their team for that matter? A week or so ago none of them even spoke to one another, let alone would fight side by side. "This 'Persona' business is a train wreck!"

He picked up his phone and tucked it in his pocket, time to head to class. At least school itself was still the same. The rigorous schedule of Akito High never changed. Even if the world ended tomorrow, he was certain he would still be required to show up for class.

Kumiko left her room and headed down to the courtyard. Instead of going straight to class as usual, she decided to wait by the steps leading up to the school building to have a quick chat with the others.

----

Akinari peered at his door. Whatever was making that noise was the enemy if it meant he had to get up. But get up he did and he opened his door, staring forward blankly. "I'm sorry...", It took him a few seconds to realize he couldn't see his face staring forward like that, so his head tilted back slowly and Eber came into view. "I don't think...I'm going make it. C-call the nurse, I think I'm gonna die." or puke; he held if mouth.

Isoroku's morning held nothing terribly notable for him which, in some ways, was a welcome retreat from the hectic events of yesterday and the day before. Today, at least, he didn't hurt all over. As he gathered his things, got dressed, and headed out of the dorm he was turning over various things in his head. There was a palpable upwelling of pride in having met Seiya's rampaging Persona head on, to be sure, but when he let his mind linger on that for too long he was constantly reminded that he had fallen before it was defeated. Clearly he needed to grow stronger...but even though he didn't hurt anymore and was well rested, he still felt drained. Maybe it would be best if he didn't go trouncing around in the tunnels or went poking around the unknown for a day or two.

But even as he thought it, his mind wondered why he'd plucked the AMP from his desk before he left. Something to play with during lunch, perhaps.

"And a good morning to you, Mizushima-san..." He tipped an imaginary hat as he approached the school proper, though he left no time for a response, walking strait past and on his way to class.

Kojiro looked up at as he say Kumiko waiting by the school gates. 'Is she waiting for someone? Her latest boyfriend perhaps?'

He nodded to her, "Good morning, Mizushima. Waiting for someone?" He couldn't help but ask.

Yamada finished his run and went to his room to shower and dress. He grabbed his lunch, books and the AMP on the way out the door. He kept it in his right hand, rubbing his thumb over the enamel. He still didn't look at it, but he held onto it none the less. He nodded when he saw the others a said "Good morning" quietly, not sure how much conversation he was up to having this morning.

Kumiko stared after Yoshida as he walked by, it didn't really matter much. He wasn't the one she really wanted to talk to. She was also surprised that Kojiro was kind enough to say hello at all. She shook her head, "N-no one in particular." But in fact she was looking to talk to anyone but Yamada. The questions she wanted to ask...Kumiko thought it would cause less trouble if they were asked when he was not present.

Forfeiting her plan for now, she bowed to them both and went inside.

Rin groaned and rolled over in her bed as an irritating beep sounded from her clock.. Reaching out she lightly slapped her alarm clock. Sitting up slightly in her bed Rin found herself thinking about last night. 'It's good that Seiya is alive, but I can't help but feel we got more questions than answers from that meeting.' Rin gave a small sigh when she glanced over at her clock. 'I'm going to be late if I don't hurry.'

She got off of her bed and went to take a quick shower and get ready for school. After finishing getting dressed, Rin paused in front of her mirror. She grabbed a brush and ran it through her hair a few times, she thought about how Kojiro and Isoroku had acted during the meeting with Seiya. 'Kojiro seemed frustrated with Seiya, though I can see his reasoning. Isoroku seemd a bit more rude though.'Finally satisfied that she looked alright, she grabbed her bag and left her dorm room

She quickly made her way through the courtyard and spotted a few of the others on the steps. "Good morning Yamada-san. Good Morning Kojiro."

Kojiro shakes his head as Kumiko quickly retreats leaving him alone with Yamada- off all people. Luckily for him Rin had come up. He nods to Yamada dn then quickly turns to Rin. "Hey, Rin." He waves to her. "Walk with you the rest of the way?"

He falls in step with Rin and half halfheartedly waves a 'good bye' to Yamada. Once they are out of ear shot he turns to the girl, "You are a life saver, you know that?"

Rin gave Yamada a small wave as well and followed Kojiro. She turned her head to look at Kojiro. "Because I gave you an excuse to get away from Yamada?"

He chuckles, "Yes, that is exactly why!" He shakes his head, "I know we're supposed to try and get along with our teammates, but I can't stand Yamada."

Rin gave a small nod. "So what do you think about the club Seiya-sempai's going to be setting us up with?"

He frowned, "I'm unsure...Specially with what just happened with her, I wonder if the faculty really won't be suspicious of what our club is about. However, we could use the cover, badly."

Rin considered it for a moment. "Well maybe Seiya-sempai will have an update of sorts for us when we meet later." She gave Kojiro a small smile hoping to lift his spirits a bit.

Eber showcased his track practice by throwing himself to the opposite wall in record time.

"Remain here--I will collect the nurse!"

------

Hikaru went to class in marginally better spirits than the previous few days. As she was about to open the door to the main building, a German blur shot past her and nearly bowled her over like the final pin in a tournament. She called after him when she recovered, but he was long gone.

So she went to went to her homeroom, arms full of papers for the new "club".

------

Poor Akinari: You have to suffer through the attentions of Edogawa through the rest of the day...
