The Queen Of Shadows (Persona 5 Fanfic)

Chapter 12

I looked at the clock. It was almost time for my shift at work to end. I wondered how my sisters day was going. I knew she was having trouble at school. That's why I had got all the things I needed to transfer. I would be able to graduate with the appropriate class even if I was in a coma. They had made me take test to see if I would have past the grading years I missed. Thankfully I passed them all. I was always a smart boy. Especially when my mother was around to teach. "Zetsu your free to leave. You've done such great work for me" my boss said. She pat my shoulder. "Go take the rest of the day off. And when you start school. I'll make sure to schedule however you'd like alright?" She asked. "Alright" I said with a kind smile. She blushed. She was the daughtwr of the cafe owners and now the current owner. She was very young to be owner but she still was a great owner. "Your such a hard worker. I appreciate the hard work. Really" she said. I nodded. "You welcome. I better head off. I'd like to visit my sister in my new school" I said getting ready to leave. "H-hope it goes well" she stuttered waving her hand as I Left. I waved back and went on towards the school. I saw Oliver and Liam. I stopped by where the two were eating. "Hey. What's up?" I asked. "Zetsu!" Oliver said happy. "Hey" Liam said waving with his usual kind smile. "I'll see you guys sunday right?" I asked. They both nodded. "Alright see you two" I said waving bye.

I got to the school gate and walked in. I immediately went and spoke to the principle. He explained things briefly then sent me on my way to learn the school. I sighed shaking my head. "Hi I'm Makoto Niijima. The student counsel president. I was told to tour you Around" she Said. I nodded. "Thank you Niijima. But I happen to be looking for my sister Catherine" I said."Of course" she said leading me. We got to a classroom on the second floor. "This is her class. Its lunch time so she might not be in there" she mentioned. "Thank you once again" I said to her. She nodded looking away. I opened the door and saw Catherine standing there hyperventilating. A boy trying to help calm her. I walked over. I pulled her into a hug and caressed her hair gently. "Shh. Talk slowly" I said. "I-I saw this thing" she said crying. "It keeps talking to me when these girls bully me" she added. I gripped my fist behind her back. "What's that thing look like?" I asked. "A demon" she said. I ungripped my fist in relief. "Its prob'ly your inner demons" I said. "What's that mean?" She asked. "Well you know when I was a kid, I used to see things?" I asked. "Yeah" she replied. "Well maybe its something similar" I said. "I don't see dead people Zetsu" she said plainly. "Rude much" I shot back letting her go. "Hey you were a weird kid. You were always talking to things I couldn't see" Catherine said sassily. "Mom could see them" I said turning away from her. "Mom was a weirdo" she shot to me. "Yeah she was into some Freaky beliefs" I agreed. I smiled seeing my sister calm. She seemed much better than when I walked in. "So this is your brother?" The guy asked. "Oh yeah. Akira meet Zetsu. Zetsu meet Akira" she intorduced us. "Nice to meet you" I said holding out my hand. He shook it strongly.

"Zetsu. Are demons real?" She asked. I looked at her. "Depends on the definition" I said. "Demons. Like from a bibical sense" she said. I sighed. "No I don't believe they are real. Why do you ask?" I asked her. "I saw a weird demonic looking thing. it was all black and it had horns and a tail" she explained. I tilted my head. "That sounds like a made up.demon" I said. "Of course it does" she said looking down. I saw the bruises that covered her. If it wasn't my dad then I knew what was going on. "Who the hell hurt you?" I asked filling my rage boiling. "It was just some bullies Zetsu. Please don't do anything. You'll make it worse" she said crying. I turned quickly away as I held my head. I took deep breaths to calm myself.

"You really want to hurt those bullies huh? But now you can't" I heard myself say. I was used to that little voice inside my head. My mom had told me it was possible I'd have some sort of mental issue or trauma. When she died I got this issue. Some doctors would probly say I'm insane. Yet I felt sane. I felt like I controled that voice pretty well. It only ever appeared when I was mad. Sometimes it was like a blind rage. "Zetsu. Please calm down" I hear Catherine say. I turned to her. "I'm calm" I snapped. She was covering her friends eyes for some reason. She looked terrified. I pulled out a mirror from my pocket. I always carried one to watch my back. I saw my black hair had white tips. I automatically calmed down and it went away. "Your hair. Why does it still do that? Mom said you'd grow out of the white hair" Catherine mouthed. I shrugged. "No idea. I'm fine now seriously" I said. She nodded and let her friends eyes go. "You sure have a lot of secret for siblings" Akira said crossing his arms. "One day. You might get those secrets" Catherine said walking to me. She hugged me as I hugged back. "Starting from tommorow ill be attending school here. So we will take the train together" I said. She nodded. "Yes sir" she replied.
