Digital Persona Saga - Mask of Longing

Hattori tried his new wings out and hovered above the ground.

 

Minato followed him.

 

"Feels strange to be like this now. Kind of nice, though."

 

Zalera watched in amusement while Cara wished she could fly. She sighed and suddenly Zalera had fused his body with hers, sprouting a single wing but hovering like she had two. "Thank you Zalera." He set a chill through her mind with the image of Lesa's smile from when they were children.

 

"I guess we should head home now."

 

"Race ya."

 

Hattori smirked and flew at a high speed towards home.

 

Cara laughed, "I think I'll hang here for a while. Being in a cemetary...I have some forgivness to ask for."
Zalera set her down and stood beside her, ...Another time...another world...my mistress is always the same...

 

Minato waved at her and followed Hattori.

 

Hattori sighed as he landed on the doorstep.

 

Minato landed beside him.

 

"I beat you here, Minato."

 

Cara and Zalera sat on a few vacant gaves while she thought out loud. "Everytime, I've been reborn as someone else, and yet you still find me... Why?" Zalera didn't move, ...It is my duty to keep you from harm...a duty I am bound to...by all eternity... Cara fiddled with a stick she'd picked up, "And Lesa? She's just a pawn in this game of life and death?" Zalera nodded his skull head slowly, agonizingly and Cara let a few tears fall from her eyes, "It's unfair Zalera. I should move on. Die, truely die and let someone else have my life. A new life, just for me. Without remembering, eventually, who I am." Zalera's chill frosted the grass, ...You are...who you are...

 

"Here's your reward." Minato kissed him on the lips.

 

Hattori kissed her back.

"Let's get to bed. It's been so long since I held you in my arms."

 

Cara sighed, "Right and that means...someday soon Lesa will die, just like my other sister did. The one I had before All this started." Zalera fused with her, her single wing lifting her from the ground, ...You were not meant to suffer...your sister's death over and over again...is the punishment sentenced to us by Orphan. Orphan hunts you and Lesa now...be on guard... He took her back to the mansion and they settled into a guest bedroom.

 

The other Hattori laid down and closed his eyes, slowly falling asleep.

"It's been years since I last slept. I forgot just how good laying in bed can feel at times." He said to himself before he completely fell asleep.

 

Arisa, under order of Shiori, was learning how to defend for herself.

Minato smiled and held her Hattori close.

 

Hattori smiled and gently kissed Minato.

The other Hattori woke up and yawned.

"I feel energized now."

 

"Here's your breakfast." Arisa set his breakfast down on the table. She was covered in dust, and her hair was shorter.

Minato kissed him back and carried him to their room.
