Everyone was in Shibuya they talk to Akechi, and Akechi leaved. "What was that about...?" Anne said. "Do you think he knows are identity?" Yusuke asked. "Nah, it couldn't be. Right?" Ryuji said. "But is best if we stay cautious." Makoto said. "And we shouldn't forget that Alibaba was able to find out are identity's." (Y/N) said.


"True, he doesn't have evidence to prove it. Just keep acting normally." Yusuke said. "More importantly, things are getting serious with Medjed!" Anne pull out her phone. "Oh yeah! What'd they write!?" Ryuji asked. "Here, i'll read it..." Anne begin to read:


"'We are disappointed in the people of Japan and their belief in the Phantom Thieves' false justice. Hence, we shall proceed with our plan cleanse Japan. This process will commence on Aug. 21st. As a result, the Japanese economy shall suffer devastating damages.'"


"For real...?" Ryuji said. "Keep going." Makoto said.


"'However, we are magnanimous. We will give the Phantom Thieves one final opportunity to repent. As proof of this repentance, we demand that they reveal their identities to the public. We will attack if these demands remain unmet. The future of Japan rests with the Phantom Thieves. We are Medjed. We are unseen. We will eliminate evil.'"


"...That's what is says." Anne is done reading. "Sounds bad..." Ryuji said. "In other words, if we do nothing. Medjed will attack Japan... Correct?" Yusuke said. "What are we gonna do about this...?" Anne asked. "If we only we could get in contact with Alibaba." (Y/N) said. "Our only clues... Is Boss and Futaba. Anyways, why don't we go to Leblanc? We can talk about this." Ryuji said. 


~????????? View~


Ghost-girl was watching again. (A/N: And yes, that was ghost-girl from last chapter. And some of you guys said that: Is it the character from Persona 4? Welp, no is not. Is just ghost-girl.)


"Goro Akechi..." Ghost-girl gets one card, and looked at it... "So he's the one... That little piece of a shit." Ghost-girl close her hand, she was pretty angry. "Dammit..." Ghost-girl tries to calm down. "(Y/N)... You should find this one, by yourself." Ghost-girl said. (A/N: You know, what she mean?)


~At Leblanc~


"We went through all sortsa options on our way here, but... Looks like we have no choice but to ask Alibaba's help." Ryuji said. "Question is, how do we get in touch with him?" Anne asked. "He cut off all contact with us after that misunderstanding." Yusuke said. 


"Dammit, Alibaba! Where the hell are you!?" Ryuji said in anger. "Actually, guys the closer that i think..." (Y/N) touch her chin, and muttered to her breath. "What are you thinking?" Ryuji asked. "Even we still Futaba's heart... How would Alibaba know that the deed has been done?  Would he truly be able to discern that just from cell phone messages?" (Y/N) said.


And everyone was looking at each other. "You mean, he'd have to meet her in person?" Morgana asked. And (Y/N) nodded. "Alibaba delivered the calling card. And he can check on Futaba's condition.  However, she's unable to meet with us. It seems to me... Alibaba is Futaba herself." (Y/N) said.


Everyone was surprise when (Y/N) said that. "For real!?" Ryuji said. "So she's asking that we steal her own heart...?" Yusuke asked. "Maybe she wants us to save her from the scars of her abuse...?" Anne said. "I'd like to meet with Boss... He lives nearby, right?" Makoto asked. "I know where his house is." Akira said. 


"I agree. But what're we gonna tell Boss when we get there?" Ryuji asked. "We'll say this take-out sushi is a gift for him." Makoto said. "But my fatty tune...!" Morgana said in sadness. "No complaining." Anne said. "Let's all go together." Makoto said.


~At Sojiro's House~


Everyone wen't inside the house. "Hello, sir?" Makoto said. And the lights are all off, except theirs one door is open, and have a little light. "He's not out, is he?" Anne asked. "The door ahead is open, and i can hear the TV." Makoto said. "I'm a bit worried. Should we go in and check on him?" Anne said. "Please excuse us..." Makoto started walking. And Akira noticed that (Y/N) legs, we're shaking like crazy.


"Are you OK?" Akira asked, and froze for a sec. "Y-Yeah, i-i'm fine." (Y/N) said, but in reality she's scared. And they start walking also, and they follow to others. And they continue walking, the lights turned off, and they heard a scream.


"A scream!? What was that!?" (Y/N) is shaking like crazy. "H-How should i know?" Morgana is getting scared. And they heard sound. "Did you hear that!?" Makoto is getting scared as well. "Let's get out of here, please? Can we just go?" Anne is getting scared as well. "What're you freakin' out for?" Ryuji asked Anne.


"I-I-I'm not freaking out!" Anne said, but she was freaking out on the inside. "Could it be Alibaba...? I mean, Futaba." Morgana said. And Anne walks back, so as the others. And (Y/N) is getting scared, and she cannot move. "Um, sorry... Can i hold your hand?" (Y/N) asked Akira, shaking like crazy. And Akira blushed. "S-Sure." Akira said. And (Y/N) holds Akira's hand, and start walking. (A/N: You now, what will happen next. Huh? 😏)


"Eek!" (Y/N) hold Akira's hand tightly, and Akira blushed madly. "I can sense someone's presence..." Yusuke muttered. "Please stop it...!?" (Y/N) is shaking like crazy. (Y/N) and Akira turned around, (Y/N) IS STILL HOLDING AKIRA'S HAND! 


And they turned around, and there was a persons face. But they couldn't see it because it was dark, and the thunder strike again (A/N: And yes it was raining.) And thunders lights, showed that there was a person right behind them. And they screamed. "Aaaaaaah!" (Y/N) got scared, and she knelt down, and hold Akira's leg.


"Alibaba! Futaba! Hey! C'mon where are you!? You're a hacker, right? just show yourself!" Anne shouted. "I'msorryI'msorryI'msorry! Pleasegoway." (Y/N) hold Akira's leg very tightly, and that cause Akira blushed madly. (A/N: When i watch this. It LMAO! XD)


"Are you OK, Futaba!?" Sojiro shouted. "Crap, he's home!" Ryuji said. Everyone run, except Akira and (Y/N). Because (Y/N) was holding Akira's leg. And Sojiro opened the door. "Who the hell are you!? Don't move!" Sojiro grabbed the flashlight, and turned on, and he saw (Y/N)'s holding Akira's leg. 


"I'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorry! Pleasegoaway!" (Y/N) is repeating the words over and over again. "You...? What're you doing in my house?" Sojiro asked. "Ah..." (Y/N) looked, and saw Sojiro. "You're..." Sojiro looked at (Y/N). "O-Oh... H-Hi... T-There..." (Y/N) is still holding Akira's leg. "(L/N)~san! Wait, are you two dating?" Sojiro asked.


(Y/N) blushed madly. "N-No!" (Y/N) shook her head. "Friends nowadays get that close each other...?" Sojiro said. And (Y/N) JUST notice that, she's holding Akira's leg, and she immediately blushed, and let go of her hand, and stood up. "I-I'm very very sorry! I-I d-didn't m-mean t-too..." (Y/N) blushed madly, and everyone came. "You kids are here too...!?" Sojiro asked in surprise.


"Um, we brought you some sushi, but nobody answered when we rang the door bell... The door was unlocked too." Anne explained. "The door was unlocked?" Sojiro asked. "Yes." Anne said. "...I do that sometimes. Guess i'm getting old." Sojiro scratched his head.


"Um, excuse me. There's something we'd like to ask." Makoto said. "Hm? What is it?" Sojiro asked. "There's someone else leaving here... Isn't there?" Makot changed the subject. "Yeah... My daughter." Sojiro said it in honest.


"Could she be Futaba Sakura...?" Makoto asked. "You told Niijima~san too!?" Sojiro asked Akira. "U-Um... Is there any way we could meet with Futaba~san?" Makoto asked. "And i think i frightened her earlier, so i wan't to apologize." (Y/N) is calm now.


"Well... That's..." Sojiro said. "Is she sick?" Makoto asked. "No, it's not like that." Sojiro looked at the kids, and sighed. "I don't want you all getting the wrong idea... *Sigh* I shouldn't kept this a secret from you... ...Let's talk at the shop. She'll hear us if we stay here." Sojiro said.


~Back To Leblanc~


"Now, where do i start...?" Sojiro starts telling the story:


"Futaba's mother and i knew each other before Futaba was born. Her mother was bit of a weird one, but we got along well for some reason... She was sharp-witted, somewhat stern, a little socially inept, but always carefree... She truly was a great woman." 


"I see..." (Y/N) said.


"When something piqued her interest, that'd be all she focused on. She always worked deep into the night. I thought that'd change after her kid was born, but having Futaba didn't do much. Even with that, she always took good care of her."


"Working and watching over a child at the same time sounds rough..." Anne said.


"I guess raising Futaba alone turned out to be tough on her in more ways than one..." 


"What about her father?" Akira asked. "There wasn't a father." Sojiro said. "Do you mean..." Yusuke said.


"Well, there probably was one. I didn't know him though. She never said a word about him, either. She was single when she gave birth to Futaba, and single when she raised her. They were an ordinary, loving family. You could really tell how much she cared about Futaba. *Sigh* But one day, she left... Leaving Futaba behind."


"Did she die...?" Akira asked.


"Yes. She committed suicide." Sojiro said. And everyone was shock. "Suicide...!?" Anne was surprise. 


"Threw herself into the street, right in front of Futaba's eyes..." Sojiro said. "Shocking doesn't begin to describe that..." Makoto said. "That's gotta be devastating for a kid." Ryuji said. 


"So... Well, a lot happened after that, but i ended up taking custody of Futaba... First, she was so depressed she... She wouldn't even talk to me." Sojiro said. "Was that because she couldn't get over her mother's suicide...?" Anne asked. 


"I kept talking to her though, and started opening up to me little by little. That's when i found out... Futaba blames herself for her mother's death." Sojiro said. 


"What...!? But why!?" (Y/N) asked.


"That part she's never told me. I wanted to know what led her to believing that, but i decide not to rub salt in the wound. Then, a few months ago... She started getting real scared, even when nothing was happening. She'd say things like, 'I hear voices...' and, 'Mom is looking at me...'" Sojiro said.


"Visual and auditory hallucinations... Have you taken Futaba to a doctor?" Yusuke asked.


"I wanted to, but she refused. Even when i had a doctor come, she locked herself away in her room. Since then, she's become what you'd call a shut-in. She won't take a single step outside the house, or even try to see other people." 


"What about you?" (Y/N) asked.


"She doesn't even let me come in her room." Sojiro said. "That's pretty harsh..." Ryuji commented. "Futaba is, well, a unique girl. She's so quick-minded that conversations with her tend to jump from one topic to the next... It seems like she's always coming to conclusions in her head. There's a lot i don't get about her..." 


"......" (Y/N) is speechless.


"So yeah... Her situation is why i couldn't let you in my house." Sojiro said. "I understand." Akira said. "What Futaba needs is a safe place where nobody will threaten her. Somewhere she can be at ease. That's why i won't do anything she doesn't want. I don't make her do anything she's willing to either. The again, i know that's no way for her to live. It's all i can do..." Sojiro said.


"What does Futaba want?" Akira asked. "I don't know. She just asked me like, food and complicated books... Well that's that. So can you just, leave her be?" Sojiro asked. And Akira nodded. "I'm gonna go now. You all better head home too." And Sojiro leaved.


**********


"I feel so bad..." Makoto said. "No way in hell he's abusin' her." Ryuji said. "The reason why she wants her heart to be stolen, because of her mothers died." (Y/N) said. "Will changing her heart really help her though?" Anne asked. "If we help her, we might stand up for Medjed." (Y/N) said.


"We do need clues..." Akira said. "Hold on a sec. Do we know if she have a Palace? Let's check." Ryuji said. And Akira pull out his phone. "'The Futaba Sakura that lives at Sojiro Sakura's house.' Is that good?" Ryuji said. And the Nav, respond. 


"What the...?" Yusuke said. "She's got one..." Ryuji said. "So someone can have a Palace even if they're not evil? Hey, Morgana--" Anne looked at Akita's bag, and notice that Morgana was not there. "Where's Morgana?" Anne asked. "I haven't seen him for a while." (Y/N) said.


"So, ever since we went inside Boss's house?" Makoto said. "...Somewhere 'round there. He'll be fine." Ryuji said. "The trains are gonna shuttin' down, we should head back now." Anne said. "And of course, we have to go to school, as well." Makoto said. "Ohh, right. The urgent assembly." Anne said.


"An assembly? What about?" Yusuke said. "Oh you know, some bullshit stuff." Anne said. "This is just a pain in the ass." Ryuji commented. "Anyway, let's contact each other afterward." Makoto said. 


~Futaba's View~


Futaba was in her room, eavesdropping again, and typing on the computer. And when she was typing she saw a cat run, and she didn't see that coming.
