CHAPTER 2

The Dream

In the dream, I was in a long hallway. I walked for a while, and was stopped by a mysterious voice.

"Do you seek the truth...?"

I kept walking, but I was stopped again.

"If it is the truth you desire, come and find me..."

Ok. Now it was starting to creep me out. I still kept walking though, and I found a door. I went through, and saw a dark figure in front of me.

"So... you are the one pursuing me..."

"Ohoho, try all you like..."

I assumed that meant to defeat it. I felt a power surge through me. A card appeared in front of me. It look like the ones Igor was using. On the bottom it had a 0. I felt myself grabbing the card and crushing it. I also heard myself yell, "Persona!" and an image of what seemed to be Izanagi, a character from Japanese mythology, appeared in front of me.

Izanagi look at me, waiting for commands. At the time I had no idea what he he could do, so I told him to do his best attack.

Izanagi went up to the figure and struck him with lightning.

"Hmm... It seems you can see a little, despite the fog... But, you shall not catch me so easily...." The figure said.

The fog suddenly got denser. Izanagi tried attacking again, but he couldn't see either, I could sense it.

"Everybody sees what they want to see, and the fog only gets deeper...."

I tried attacking endlessly with my sword, yet I kept hitting nothing.

"Will we meet again? At a place other than here.... Mhmm... I shall look forward to it....."

I lost consciousness. I woke to the sound of "Breakfast is ready!"

I went downstairs to the welcome of the unforgettable smell of eggs and bacon, and Saku's smiling face.

"Are you okay? You look like you've had a nightmare...."

"Oh, I-I'm fine."

"Well, are you gonna eat or what?"

Dang. She was crazy. The breakfast, however, was delicious. "Did you make this?!" I said in shock.

"Mhmm. Dad's usually out in the mornings, so I learned how to cook breakfast myself. Anyway, school starts soon. I'll walk with you!"

We left for school. Saku stopped me on the Samegawa Flood Plain, and she said, "My school's over this way. Your school is straight ahead. See ya!" She left in the opposite direction.

I kept going, and was passed by a 10-or-11 year old boy on his bike. Unfortunately, he crashed into a trash can. I decided to leave him be, and I kept walking.

I eventually came across Yasogami High School. I wondered about what life would be like here. I then went inside and upstairs to classroom N-2, where I was greeted by an ugly old man known as King Moron.

I also overheard some conversations.

"Sucks for the new kid. greeted to the school by King Moron."

"I know, right? I heard that he's a city boy. Pretty cool, if you ask me."

There was one conversation I was intrested in, where a brown-haired girl in a green jacket and a black-haired girl in red were talking about this thing called the Midnight channel.

King Moron silenced the class, and he said, "Now I hate wasting my time, but this is the new transfer student. He just as much of a loser here as he was in the city, so you girls better not think about hitting on him!"

"Tell 'em your name kid, and make it quick." he told me.

I was pretty pissed off at his speech, and I heard myself say, "Are YOU calling ME a loser?"

I felt my courage increase right then.

"OH, A TOUGH GUY, HUH? WELL, YOU'RE ON MY SHIT LIST. EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY."

I calmed down a bit, and the brown-haired girl from before raised her hand.

"Can the new kid sit here?" She pointed to the seat next to her.

"Fine. Hey kid, that's your seat."

I sat down. The brown-haired girl told me her name, Kari Euphion.

~One long lecture later~

"Alright. Normal lectures start tommorow. CLASS DISMISSED, ya little shitstains."

We all got up. Kari went up to me, and said,

"Hey! I'd like you to meet Rachel Shinada!"

The black-haired girl slowly waved at me.

"Uhh... hi-"

The PA suddenly turned on.

" PLEASE, EVERYONE SIT BACK IN YOUR SEATS. THERE IS AN EMERGENCY, AND WE INSIST THAT NO STUDENT LEAVES THE SCHOOL." It screamed.

"Ugh... should of left earlier... " Moaned Kari.

Police sirens wailed as King Moron, as everyone called him, walked back in. He then screamed, "SHUT THE HELL UP AND SIT DOWN-"

The PA came on again.

"It is now safe to leave the school. have a nice day!"

He then screamed, "YOU HEARD HER! GET THE HELL OUT OF THIS CLASSROOM!"

Kari, Rachel and I were walking out of school when a shady looking guy walked up to Rachel.

"Uhh... hi Rachel... w-wanna go out?"

"WHOA! YOU STEP BACK, CREEPER!" Boney shouted.

"Uh, guys, you're drawing attention..." Rachel whispered"

She was right. half the school had their eye on us.

"Whoa, he's really going for the Shinada challenge?" said the young boy who I saw before on his bike.

"Pff, that's almost impossible!" laughed a girl next to him.

"W-well, are....are you coming or not?!" the stalker said.

"I-I'd rather not..." Rachel said.

The creepy guy ran off, as did the other students, since they wanted to get home, obviously. We began walking again, pretending what just happened didn't happen at all.

This whole time is was thinking about that weird dream, and the magical limo called the Velvet Room.

What did that figure mean when it said that we'll meet again? I thought.

We were then greeted by a crime scene, and a barfing detective.
