I'm not human anymore

He unlocked his phone, blearily reading the text before sitting up and getting out of bed. Yosuke stumbled over to the balcony door, unlocking and sliding it open a little.

Then he replied and sat back down on his bed.

Sukuna waited for Yosuke’s text before she decided what she was going to do. She didn’t mind if Yosuke didn’t want her company tonight, it was his house and she would respect his decision. She flipped through a few apps on her phone seeing if anything caught her interest while she waited for a response. Nothing did however, except for the response from Yosuke. A smile traveled across the Persona user’s face as she put her phone into her pocket.

She slid off of the roof and landed gently on the balcony outside of Yosuke’s room and slipped inside without a peep. She was feeling a bit lonely and wanted Yosuke’s company.

“I didn’t interrupt anything did I?”

“Well there are times where I wouldn’t mind being alone.”

You admitted, thinking about just the danger you were in right now since you were out in the real world. You had Sukuna-Hikona hidden deep within your mind right now. But that didn’t always guarantee your safety.

Zen once again walked through this strange world, where personas and humans were one and the same. This world where those with strong persona abilities were treated like animals, or at least that was how he saw it…

It was dangerous for him to be here, especially given what he was. But he returned anyway. 

When he heard someone call his name the god turned to look at the source and smiled behind his collar. 

You were in safe and friendly company and you looked around and saw that you were alone with the other. You felt comfortable enough to not need your wings and shut your eyes there was a flash of blue under your coat and your wings disappeared. It just made you sick to your stomach to think that those people who called you a monster would kidnapped such young kids.

“I was too, but they were just picked up so they were suffering from shock and some chaffing around the wrists and ankles from trying to escape. I don’t know if I could have gotten both of them out safely without your help.”

You admitted to him, a smile on your face. You knew that rescue wouldn’t have gone as well without him since you would not be able to carry both of them at the same time. Even with Sukuna-Hikona’s strength it would be not enough just because of your body size. 

“You can put your clothes back on.  You really didn’t need to do this.”

He can’t help but feel guilty now.  She hadn’t been that specific about what they did on detention centers.  The scars are enough to tell him everything that he may have wanted to know though.  

“I’m surprised that you came to find me actually.  I wasn’t even that mad at you.  Well, I was, but I would’ve gotten over it.”

He pulls out a blue scarf from the bucket and hands it over.

You wanted to show him all of the things you’ve been through. The wings were just to show that there were even hidden scars as there are evidence of injury just not as obvious as on your body on the darker colored wings. You sighed and shut your eyes and in a quick flash of blue you stood there completely human as you took your shirt back and buttoned it back on.

“No. I did.”

You saw yourself as sort of a monster, because of what happened that night several years ago... but there was a part of you that wanted to not be considered one. But that part was buried deep down inside of you. 

“I figured... showing would be easier than telling. But I never was good at telling other people’s emotions unless I’m really close with them and you are different than my Yosuke...”

You trailed off as you slipped your pants back on as you sighed. You were good at locating Persona Auras for a non-Rank D Persona user because of your secondary ability. But emotions of others was still an area you were weak in. Especially after everything that has happened. But you took the blue scarf and smiled gently as you put it on. Finally showing him a side you were not able to show him earlier... the gently and compassionate side.

Susano-o blinked in a bit of surprise at the other before shaking his head, a warm smile on his host’s scarred face.

“I am Takehaya Susano-o-no-Mikoto, simply Susano-o for short. It is a pleasure to finally meet you face to face, Sukuna-dono.”

With a twirl of his index finger, he floated on his winds, his hands then linked over his knees. So this was the little one who made his host so happy? He could already see why.

“I apologize Susano-o-sama. My ability is not nearly as precise as Rise’s and I go by association with names and auras. I am still not quite used to yours and Yosuke’s specialized ones. So I went back to the ones I know by heart.”

You explained as you turned and faced the Persona, you weren’t expecting to be face to face with Yosuke’s form. Especially after how you saw him when he was getting carried out of the TV World. That image would be one that would haunt you for a long while. But this meeting was definitely an interesting one, since you never got to meet the Persona of this world. Since from Yosuke’s stories and you observation, the ability isn’t one that someone is born with.

“The pleasure is mine. I was not going to comment I am still unfamiliar with the way Personas work in this world.”

You replied, as you knew how much of a relief it was to not have to constantly hide Sukuna-Hikona within your mind. It was like a great burden lifted off of your shoulders. A smile was brought to your face.

“Okay, NOW you lost me. Why in the world would I hide my Persona Aura unless I was a bad guy trying not to get caught? Even if there WAS a person who would take advantage of that, I’m trained enough to beat the crap out of them.

…As for the naked part, I have nothing to do with that, so go ask them. They’re probably just having fun, though.”

“Oh your one of those lucky ones.”

You replied with a hint of jealousy in your voice. You shut your eyes and focused on your breathing. This wasn’t the time to reflect on just how shitty you had it compared to some of the other people you’ve met so far.

“It’s not that easy when theres five or more people with guns and tranquilizers with heavy artillery and helicopters trying to kill or capture you. They try to capture you, but if you put up a fight they won’t hesitate to kill you.”

You explained shutting your eyes and sighed. The longer you spend, the less similar your would seems to the others. It seems like you were the only one who HAD to hide their Persona.

“They’ve been tested in both Persona and normal Humans. You will be fine. But I really wanted just to go somewhere private since you were the only one who needed to see this but if you insist.”

You replied to him as you started to unbutton your shirt and slip your pants off. Your wings were already out and pulled back. You left your black sports bra on and your spandex shorts on. But with the skin showing, showed a lot of your story. Numerous bullet wound scars, cuts, stabs, incisions both precise and jagged lined your body.

“Who are you calling stupid, bug?”

"Well for one I can pick up on ALL of your Persona Auras without even trying. Are you all trying to say “I’m a Persona user right here come kill me” and second off. Why the fuck are you people getting naked, you might have your clothes on but there are plenty out there who don’t.”

You replied, rolling your eyes at the other. His appearance reminded you of your own Yosuke, but he was still different. The eye color wasn’t bothering you at all as your wings moved in the wind.
