Two eyes fluttered open and then close, as a well known man would grasp his head and give a slight sigh. The pain of supporting those kids was rather overbearing, but he knew they were on their way back now. "Damn these kids are a pain in the ass." Aburai was currently outside the tower himself, though he wasn't hanging around Natashi gang of losers at the moment. You could say he was on the complete opposite side of the tower, facing the back entrance that one could say he created. He rubbed the back of his neck at the current situation, especially the one regarding the death of one of the Kings. Honestly, he didn't care. He had taken lives before, so he couldn't honestly say it was something as ground breaking to him as it was to them. Though, almost like it was fate, there would be a bright light behind him that would transfer the users right as his feet.

Aburai turned around with his usual smug grin. The looming Shadow of Daraku Dhumavati hovered behind him. It had been some time since he was face to face with these brats, but he was helping them through this situation. Though Natashi agreed to play by the rules of this world, Aburai wasn't really that interested by it. He knew what kind of person he was, and he knew deep down that he would never change. Well, of course that's what he told himself. After all, he did take many lives before. This was just another life to add to the countless masses, seeing how he was the one directing them through the brunt of these worlds. But to think he'd have to meet them again made him rub the back of his neck and give a carefree smile.

"Been awhile, eh guys? I can tell you all are working so dangerous hard. Saving lives, and sometimes ending them. There's no reason to be upset here, she was going to be destroyed if Yachiru succeeded anyway. It just happened abit sooner, right?" Aburai's voice was pretty nonchalant considering the current circumstances. However, his attention came upon the newcomers to the group that he had not met before. "Ah, excuse me. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Aburai, but you can call me sensei. After all, technically I am still a teacher, right kids?" His attention shifted over to Kogami and Kahn at this point. "I could have sworn I killed you, Red Head. Though, now that I remember, you were saved weren't you? Man, good times good times." Aburai raised his hand, and Daraku smacked it with a high five. Even his Persona seemed to be one egotistical asshole.

"So, how much do you brats know about Yachiru's plans? Let's have alittle Q and A. You all get to ask one answer, and I may or may not have a question for you. Or wait, it's the other way around, right? Hahah"

Seeing this man made something snap inside of Kogami. This was Lori’s killer, she was right in front of him. Due to the fact that his hearing was so good, he could of recognized this man’s sound from a mile away, all it ever did was bring about hateful memories of his failures. “You piece of shit…” Kogami would say as he brought out his soul bound, a few snakes were also popping up as his persona appeared behind him. “I’ve been waiting for this……… for a very long time….. you had the nerve to show your face with that shitty haircut. You were always a bastard of a teacher, stepping on the heads of your students is how you get off huh?”

Kogami was obviously picking a fight as he walked forward. He was angry, and this was obviously it for him. If there would be a reason for doing anything, it would be one of two. Killing Aburai to avenge lori’s death, and protecting Vera. However, Vera didn’t want anything to do with Kogami, and Aburai was right in front of him. “Don’t believe a thing he says! And stay back! All of you! “ Kogami was barking orders angrily, but it was with due reason. In his own way, he was being protective, even though he didn’t want to. One side cared, and another side didn’t. But both sides admitted to their genuine hatred of the man that stood in front of them. “Wasn’t you messing around with that nice piece of ass? What was her name? Nola? What happened to her, did she dump you for a real man? I don’t blame her…hahahhahahah” Kogami then started to spin in an impossible angle while his laughter echoed through the courtyard. "Like i give a fuck!"

The Price of Resolution (Chapter 3) Yjfxi10

Tomoe landed on her knees still teary-eyed from the fight. She looked up to see an old teacher, Aburai Mojii. She had graduated before everyone else; a fact that she always seemed to forget, so she was never around to see him during these events. He probably didn't remember her, but it was fine...He was also presumed dead at one point. She stood up and wiped her eyes, quivering for a brief moment before looking to him. "Y-You're the real Aburai yes...?...." his introduction gave her pause for thought. Was that true? Were they only giving her a sort of mercy for when it was over...? She wanted to believe that, but even at his words she wasn't so sure. Though when he talked to Kahn she looked at him strangely. "Killed?..! I'm sorry?" She looked to both Aburai and Kahn for some kind of answer. Though before she could get one, it was Kogami yet again who would spoil everything and get aggressive at the first drop of a hat. Sure, Aburai was not being very...friendly for lack of a better term, but he wasn't aggressive. She was going to let his cold heart slide previously, but his words broke the last nerve. Sometimes you simply have to make it clear when not to act like a child.

Tomoe would walk over to Kogami as he spun, and proceed to extend her leg out to get in the way of his spinning and throw him off balance. She herself would be thrown off her equilibrium as this body in motion was too much for her. Tomoe would fall backwards and soon as quick as she could step back up. If Kogami still had his balance and was still standing or was already up, she would send her hand right across his face, with as much force as she could muster, a look as stern as a wall might be. "Stop right now. Are you going to keep trying to pick a fight or are you going to quiet down and at least hear them out? Please....no more...not after what we had just done," she said, her voice trembling a bit before she took a deep breath. This could not go on. It could not keep going. Everything had to change, and she would not let this man get someone else upset and repeat the whole process. She took another heavy breath and turned to Aburai. "Sorry. I just would rather not start a conflict..." she said to him. As she listened to him, his voice sounded a bit familiar....or was she imagining things? "I have several questions and answers actually. Are you the one we have been talking to over the phone when we go into the tower? We don't know much about what Yachiru is planning at the top, only that several of those who do seem to know say it involves ending the world. We really are walking around without answers, and would like some. Do you know anything?" she spoke as politely as she could while taking another med for her. It wasn't unhealthy to take them, but it was keeping her fairly sedated.

Kahn would raise his head after that sorrowful event to see one person he never thought he would see again. Aburai, his green eyes suddenly kindled with rage as Aburai said it was no big deal that they were taking a life that was born to die. It was an attempt to make them feel better, but it was a poor attempt. However, Kahn wasn't really listening to Aburai, but was focused on his Persona. The grim clown that decimated the last group he was fighting with, and Kahn was very much tempted to ready himself for a fight, but when he realized that Aburai had a perfect opprotunity to kill him he relaxed....only a bit. He still didn't trust Aburai one bit, a past and a few fights had changed his opinion on Aburai greatly.

When Tomoe asked about killed, the red haired young man turned his glare from the egotistical asshole. "Yes, we fought once over my friend who he promptly finished off in front of me. Remember, Lorielle? That was my friend who he killed, among many other people. You remember all those murders? The principal, the student on the roof, that entire class where only the teacher survivied? The man behind all those murders stands before you." Kahn said turning his green eyes to glare at Aburai, "Yeah, you tried, fortunately I'm a bit harder to kill than you might think." The red head said, before noting Kogami's action.

"Kogami, you won't beat him on your own, and I understand your hatred for him. But...he will kick your ass, take it from someone who had their ass kicked first hand." Kahn said, he didn't particulary care that much for Kogami, but the group did not need this infighting at all. "If he wanted us dead then he would have taken advantage of our disorientation when we got here. I don't trust him at all, but.....we don't have much of a choice right now. The world is ending, we don't have time for group infighting, if we start then we will let the world end and that jerk Yachiru win." That was all Kahn had to say about the situation and turned his attention back to Aburai.

"Yeah, I have a few, how many more of these kings do we have to fight? I assume all of them, but will we finally be able to weaken them and learn thier weaknesses?" The young man asked, he recalled that being a problem beforehand, hopefully now they would be able to handle it with little trouble. That was his question since Tomoe had asked the big important question.

Aburai raised a brow towards Kogami as he immediately went hostile towards him. His already smug grin turned crooked, as the teacher rubbed the back of his neck. "Calm down you little punk. Getting aggravated like a child has a time and a place, and that's certainly not here. Though I will say there's a certain zing that comes with stepping on the heads of the masses, right?" He chuckled to himself as he watched the female move to block Kogami's way basically. When it came to the question about him being real, prior to Kogami's hostility, Aburai shrugged his shoulders. "Real? Oh hohoho, no I'm a fake. A big fat fake pretending to be that dangerous man Aburai." This whole thing continued on when Kogami mentioned Nola. Aburai's smile turned from crook to abit more indifferent. "You're pretty educated, aren't ya, kid? Well, unlike your little girlfriend I stepped on before, Nola's alive and well. Well, I don't know about the well point. But she's alive somewhere in this tower, and you all will be the ones to find her for me. That's one question down, by the way." He stuck a hand in his pocket and shifted his weight to his right foot. The teacher looked towards Tomoe who asked the next question. "I said one question, sweet heart. No one likes someone who asks too many questions and sticks their nose too far into other people's business. But, yes, I've been the one leading you all through the tower. My Persona here has some special abilities that allow me to have direct access to this tower. Probably because of how it was created in the first place. That's my role in assisting you all."

When Kahn went on about the murders he commited, Aburai pinched his chin with his index finger and thumb. Daraku would mimic him as they both nodded their heads, thinking back on the countless lives they had taken. "Yea Yea, those were the days. Things were so much simpler back then until you kids got the power of Persona. But the past is the past. Tonight will change everything." The next question was about the Kings, which was alot smarter compared to the others. "Well, in total there are Four Kings and they all stem down from a leader. I think recently they may have added a Fifth addition, but I am not entirely sure. You took out one King so far, so I'd say you have three to four left. Then the big leader himself. After that, Yachiru's basically defenseless."

Tomoe went over to trip Kogami, and she actually succeeded because kogami didn’t think she had the balls to do something like that. “What the hell was that fo-““ Before the last part of that sentence could be uttered, Kogami was smacked. Why? For what? Was this the thanks that he gets after everything that he done? Wasn’t he also risking his life in order to help these guys and girls get through the tower? I guess everyone had their purpose, but it didn’t seem like Aburai wasn’t going to answer for anything. “ We all get what we deserve....right tomoe??…’“

Kogami was calm once more, why should he bother exerting so much energy for the sake of people that didn’t care about him at all? “ Well, there are the questions, and it doesn’t seem that the silent puppet committee is going to say anything. So what? Is this the part where you hop back into our cellphones now? ““ Kogami was mentioning the others that didn’t say anything. “ Well whatever, it’s not like Nola deserves all of this anyway. Not like I ever met her to begin with….look...is she the next person... id rather get all of this done if you don't have anything else to say. Bring some snacks for these two or something..... “ He didn’t bother making eye contact with Kahn, especially not Tomoe after she smacked him.

Tomoe wondered why Aburai didn’t just say what he had to say instead of just trying to mess around by pretending it was a game. “I see…one then...then can you actually answer the question this time? We may have to fight four more Kings, then Yachiru himself. But what is he trying to do? This is apparently similar to what happened some time ago, and I remember a redhead-Mikoto, talking about summoning something from the moon. Is this some kind of God or something else?” It wouldn’t be too far of a stretch given the dreams she had and the things she can wield. It was important to know what they would be possibly going up against, and if they successfully summon it, what happens then. She looked to Kogami who was reasonably dumbfounded by her sudden action. She frowned. "We all do. I am sure you'll have your day. Just let it go for now." She said apologetically. She didn't really like putting hands on....well maybe she didn't but she always seemed to, but for some reason it had felt necessary here. Whether he was like them or not, he was working with them, and she didn't want him to get himself or any of them roughed up. Maybe Kogami couldn't tell, but Tomoe did care for him in a way.

Aburai scratched the back of his head at how the group reacted with one another. Alittle dysfunction always kept things exciting, right? When Kogami spoke of Nora, the Ex-Teacher shrugged his shoulders and closed his eyes. "I'm not too worried about Nora. You kids have a pretty positive record when it comes to saving people this night. Your little silver haired stick in the mud started it off, and you all are chugging along just right. Though, Nora never died so I can't really say she'd be next. Or maybe she did die? I'm not entirely.. sure. I couldn't track her like I usually could the others. Maybe because I wasn't the one who put her in myself." The older man rubbed his chin, and the small pricks of hairs that came from it. He did seem to question this, and Daraku tilted its head and added in to this image of confusion. But when this Tomoe chick started asking more questions, he'd raise a hand and cut her off.

"You asked me if I was the one on the phone. I answered that question. You're getting nothing else out of me, sweet heart." He gave an twisted grin before looking at his phone and giving a sigh. "Well, how long are you all going to hang around here? Don't you have a group to get back too? I know you love being around your beloved sensei, but I do my best work away from you brats." Aburai stretched his arms and gave a yawn. His eyes drifted upwards towards the red moon that hung above them all this night. It was almost funny how before he wished for a world like this, now he was helping the same brats he tried to kill, stop it. They never stopped him in the end, and so he turned out to be like this. But Natashi, that guy really had changed. He went from a conceited asshole to a conceited asshole who cared about the current rules of the world. It was like he found his place. Something Aburai still didn't know for himself. His place, that is. Where he belonged...

“Well, this was a complete waste of time. If you don’t have any more information for us, I’m out. Lets go Lor- To- tomoe! Slip of the lounge, doesn’t work like yours does for some pointless trivia.“ Kogami looked back at Tomoe and rubbed his eyes with an irritated look on his face. “Tomoe…. Kahn can stand here and continue to have his brain-dead moment if he wants. Aburai is done, and so are we, or me. We all make our own choices. “Surprisingly so, Kahn didn’t say much of anything after his original comments. I’ll be taking my diet pepsi break now….”

As the words escaped her mouth, the twin-tailed android strutted into the conversation as well, not enjoying having to be stuck listening. She wasn't too far away, really, so Aburai's last little nudge against Tomoe made her take a stand and walk in on them.

"I'm still left, y'know? You haven't answered a question of mine yet." Mir would direct her words at Aburai with a frown, crossing her arms to show she was displeased. "I'd like to restate Kyokudou's second question, if you will; this thing Yachiru is trying to summon, what is it? And furthermore, if you can't tell me, I'd appreciate a second question." After the battle with Four, Jaqli was less than eager to just let information be withheld like that, as shown by her steel-faced look. Her eyes still seemed reddened from her crying previously, but whatever tears were there before were all but gone now.

Mir frowned, not really caring if any of the others found it rude for her to interrupt the talk like this. She had questions too, after all, wasn't she part of the group? Regardless, she regretted having gone off to be alone before, missing the first part of the conversation mostly, but decided that, if anything, she'd need to join in to help, if even just a little bit.

Well, that was mildly irritating. She twisted her lip and let Mir ask her question for her. Mir was not exactly untrustworthy, but she was if nothing else, an enigma. When Kogami nearly slipped and called her someone else...saying "Lo"....did he mean Lorielle? He did seem to have a reaction when she told him that they had helped her. Did she remind him of her? She was not sure how. The other world may have distorted what she actually was like, but if that really was her, she guessed she had some qualities....save for goggling at another person's chest...She nodded to Kogami. "Take a breather. You earned it. I'll get back to you if I need you." She stayed however with Aburai and the gang, at least eager to listen to the teacher. He was going to play this game and still claim to be helping. I suppose she had nothing to say, since he really was....Natashi and his friends were as well. They definitely had their own reasons for this, so for what it was worth, she had to be nice with him. For all she knew, that Persona of his could destroy them, and if Kahn's irritation with him was not unfounded aside from the obvious, he may very well have proven that already.

Aburai looked towards this girl and gave her an annoyed sigh. Quiet up until this point? What a pain in the ass... Daraku rubbed its chin, as it dripped with blood and watched its one and only Master. Originally it was a part of Brahma, but Aburai's will commandeered it from the God. Who would think such a murderous and evil man would have the will to take something that didn't belong to him. He was no saint when it came to this operation to take out Yachiru and his ideals. You could say he might have even held an ulterior motive for helping these kids reach the top of the tower. Or maybe he was in this for redemption? Regardless, what a pain in the ass question he was just hit with. Guess he had no choice but to answer at this point.

"Damn brat. Guess I have no choice even if answering that is a pain in the ass. But what he is summoning is a God called Angra Mainyu. Well, that's one of its many names. Regardless, it means Death for everyone here." The man left it there. A name was enough; he did what was asked. It took him some poking around to find out that information, but he knew he wouldn't be able to get much more if he went back into the tower. It was probably best if he rejoined Natashi and his group of misfits, at the courtyard of the tower and assisted them there. But walking back with them? Hahahahah.. No. Two of these brats were involved with getting in his way that day at the hospital. The other two were probably just as goody two shoes as the rest of the Persona Users he met along the way. He'd like to keep them at a far enough distance.

Moving his hand back and forth, he'd give them the option to leave if they'd like. "Is that all, now? Is that all the questions? I'm pretty sure." Aburai moved his eyes to the side and rubbed the back of his neck.

Her eyes perked to Aburai when he mentioned that name. Angra Mainuyu. She recognized Zororastrianism. Whether it meant anything or not though remained to be seen. Though another pressing matter suddenly sparked in her brain...with all the stress plaguing her head, she must have been blind not to notice the very similar, if not completely identical Persona she had with Aburai's. She recognized this man definitely, but why was it that she was also receiving his Persona as well? This puzzled her, since every Persona she had seen up until now was different. Was it because of that blue room? Were they sharing a Persona...? She had to test it, so in response, her own Daraku Dhumvati would be summoned behind her, and she would put a finger to her chin while its other hand held it up by the elbow, as her Persona mimicked the same motion while Aburai's own Persona mimicked its Master. Nope, it was her own....weird. That is a strange coincidence how people can get similar Personas. Was it given to her cause of him, or was his coming from her? Probably the former right?

The Price of Resolution (Chapter 3) Nm1e6r

Odd....she felt...strangely jovial at this gesture; maybe it was a result of this Persona? "I suppose that is everything Aburai-sensei. Do what you must. Thanks for your help anyway. If you intend to continue with this, we'll listen. Of course, we "brats" have homework that you gave us. We'll be sure to turn it in." She simply continued to ponder the odd situation, running a hand on the side of her head through her hair, as Daraku Dhumvati mimicked, only he had no hair to run its large hand through. She was still not entirely sure what the purpose served....maybe it was the pills?

"Now wasn't that much easier than blowing us off?" Mir teased the man in a sort of twisted way, as she put on a small grin. She wasn't expecting that answer, and the name definitely was familiar to her... maybe she had a book back in her supplies that could relate to this? Before she knew it, though, Tomoe had started her own little trick... that truly was interesting, though.

"Kyokudou, you and I will be great friends." The android smiled, trying to hold back a bit of laughter. This was really what she needed to cheer up at this time... man, that truly was amazing, she had to say. "I guess Sensei's uniqueness is not not as unique anymore. Too bad, so sad, but I do like the synergy between you two. You look just like brother and sister, with that Persona out." Mir's smirk widened into a grin as she closed her eyes and nodded. It was fun teasing people some times, even if... no, best not think of that. Right now, this was all she could do to keep going and not be held back, after all.

Aburai's eye twitched abit when he saw the woman summon what appeared to be a replica of his own Persona. He wasn't entirely sure how he felt about someone having a cheap knock off, but this only meant he didn't have to get involved himself. The teacher was sure there was some abilities this other Daraku did not have that his own did, such as creating Red Zones and his ability with communicating with others through separate realities. Could one really mimic human created skills from the Persona itself? It made him think. Did it worry him? Not really, but he did think. He never really focused on them, so he did not know this was not her only Persona. That she held more. Aburai wasn't too interested in the power the kids had claimed, since he himself had grown much stronger since their last run in. But he was amazed to see all these new faces. Was there a chance they gained their potential during the series of events that long year ago?

It was funny how things came together after all these years. Was it because of what he and Natashi did that all these people gained their powers? Or would they have gained this power regardless of their intervention with Brahma? Little did people know, Aburai may have been an asshole but he was smart. Not just anyone became a teacher at his age. He may have not been the most motivated, but he was brilliant to some degree. How else would one be able to comprehend the truth behind the alternate realities so easily; and how to dispel them with ease? Natashi wasn't the one who learned of this. Aburai was the one to bring this to his attention when he was behind bars. With the assistance of Anya and Kirito, getting him onboard to assist with handling this situation was a breeze. But Natashi's biggest question was.. "Why?". Why would Aburai put his own life on the line for a world he deemed as shit and garbage? Now that was the question that was lacking an answer.

"Keep quiet, brat. Cheap replicas only impress the untrained eye." The Teacher spoke as if mocking a student. He was less than pleased to see other Persona Users, let alone one who shared his Persona, but there was a chance Souka had given the power to more than just him. What a pain in the ass that bastard was-

"I have nothing more to say. I'm just surprised you brats didn't ask some specific questions. But it seems becoming killers is something Persona-Users are forced to become in this city. No one ever said you had to kill the Kings to move forward up the tower. It's just one of the possible ways.. But, you never asked now did you? Never asked how you could continue without taking lives. Never asked how to save the life you already stole. Haha, man what are they teaching you all these days? Kizuna sure has fallen these past few years." Once again, he mocked the group but not as a harsh person, more as someone trying to tell them to open their eyes for once. Well, atleast they learned about the threat being summoned at the top of the tower. They weren't all too hopeless, huh?

The Teacher would begin to walk back towards the courtyard where Natashi was located. He would have an after thought while walking and would simply ask: "By the by, have you all run into the silver haired stick of mud recently? I saw someone like him within the tower aswell. A scientist I believe. Something to potentially look into if you're interested."
