Evening

I was apparently tired after not eating my cabbage nutrients.....oh how I miss them!

Afternoon

Since I "helped" Yosuke with his bike, he wanted to treat me to steak or something. Chie rushed over at the word "food" and demanded recompense for her ‘Trial Of The Dragon’.
We reached Junes, Yosuke the cheapskate handed us shakes and Izanagi-knows-what-else. I was baffled at how Chie-san greedily consumed her pitiful excuse of a meal in minutes,
"Here I'm not hungry." I meekly gave up my morsels to the deprived Chie-san. Who glanced up in gratitude.
"Oh, hey there's Saki-senpai!" Yosuke the unimportant sidekick grinned like the Cheshire Cat, began hopelessly hitting on her.
"Is that thing, Yosuke's girlfriend?" I muttered with distaste.
"He wishes, not that anyone else would want that anyway." Chie explained between bites.

Saki-senpai, desperate to run away from her ever annoying kohai turned around using me as an excuse.
"Remember, you gotta tell Hana-chan straight up ,when he's being nosy." She dropped the small pearl of wisdom and escaped before the love sick puppy could stalk her again.
"It's called a restraining order!" I called out but to no avail.
"Listen guys, heard of the Midnight Channel?" Chie-san was STILL eating the leftovers and thus making it hard to understand a single word she was saying.
"Run that by me again?" I stared at Chie-san with a look of awe across my usually blank and unreadable face.
"Midnight Channel, show soul mate on rainy night." Chie-san said slowly to her companions sounding like Tarzan.

"What a load, what next? The kappas(1) exist?" Yosuke scoffed, I stood up ready to ditch Gluttony and Dimwit (though mostly the power ranger.)
"You better watch tonight or else!" Chie-san threatened to mostly Yosuke.
Later back home, I yawned and stared mindlessly at the microscopic T.V and didn't expect anything to happen. Then prepared the futon until a bright light appeared from the T.V. Somehow, it was attempting to swallow me, thank the worthless gods the thing was to damn small to do much.
I leaped backwards hitting the table AGAIN.
"Is everything alright?"Nanako-chan worriedly said. "Rolled off the bed ...haha...ugh." I badly laughed it off, luckily she still walked away muttering, "I already told him he sleeps on a futon."
Putting that behind me, I wondered what to do. "Should I tell the others?" I pondered falling asleep with a giant lump forming on my poor head.

Afternoon

"I saw a girl on the screen, but why's my soul mate a girl?" Chie-san frowned.
I chuckled at the thought of yuri fanboys screaming in glee at the news. Yosuke unfortunately wasn't as good at hiding his laughter, and it resulted in another critical hit to the nads.
I couldn't help but question if Yosuke could even have kids at this point."The T.V tried to suck me… uh no I mean..."
I trailed off trying to figure out a way to phrase it without sounding dirty. "Dude,you were half asleep."
Yosuke laughed blocking out the rest of my explanation.”Speaking of T.V my folks wants a new one."
Chie slowly grinned ready to mooch off of the Junes Prince. (Apparently everyone has nicknames here...explains why no one says my name)
"Alright, let's go!" Yosuke lead us out in the middle of class, leaving Yukiko-san behind. There was a large T.V, big enough for me to fall I thrust myself inside, barely audible voices began screaming, (all I was able to catch was Yosuke's "I gotta piss!".)That enough made me wanna stay inside for a bit. Feels awful cozy and familiar..... But in a bad way.

Had I been here before?I started panicking and decided to ease out, for all I know monsters might hide here. As I pulled out, clumsy Yosuke and Chie-san knocked me back in all the landed with a sick thud! I felt weak and something was clouding my thoughts. Slowly my consciousness faded…

As cliche as it sounds my life flashed before my eyes.
Hey idiot get over here.
Seiichi burned me for not listening to his game rules. (I still have the scar across my back)
Ha good one son,let him have it!! Damn old man… relaxing, sipping beer while watching his only true son beat the living hell outta me (a.k.a mutt of the family.)

Grandmother tried to soothe me but failed horribly.Behave yourself Tohru-kun ,be grateful we kept you-on a leash! Sei added.

You must have gotten dark hair from HIM. Everyone else had light brown hair, so I stuck out like a sore thumb.

Who? I was still naive so I truly never understood them until I was older.

Ah,yes you're the black sheep of the family alright/Taking after you're father! Mother slapped me in a drunken stupor, on the exact day she died.

Crappy grades,zero 't got no hope for the future just like you're no- good father

Dammit,who is he?! I blew up in fury.

The bitch bent closer and said I'll shed a little bit of truth on ya...you're dad is-

Shut up, worthless slave! Never let him find out!My old man barged in, hitting Mom with a loud smack!

Tell me Tohru-kun ,what game does Sei-chan play with you? Grandmother gone senile, smothered with the blissful time of lies. I wish I could...

Ame- I mumbled quietly.

What?

Fool's Game!

I see,that old game where the dunce is beaten with a whip and led with lies?

I hated everyone, engulfing me with sympathy made me sick to my gut! I understand life better than those maggots do!
They say I'm a fool? I'll prove them wrong!

Let thy pain be thy fuel. A deep voice rumbled.

Huh? I was too focused on my memories to notice where I was.

Thou not wish to play a game with these insolent humans?

No...That’s too cruel.

Do not deceive thyself

It's immoral and heartless! I screamed.

Destroy those who hurt thou

Against my better judgment I reached out for its hand. A warm feeling entered my heart. I opened my fist and found a key inside.

Thou shalt know when tis thy time to do so.

I stood up, smiling darkly,
"Now, it's my turn to play a little game with everyone."
Light shone through, leaving me gasping for breath.
"Where am I?"
I saw Chie-san and Yosuke sobbing like little kids in a corner.
"You....You're alive!" Chie-san bear hugged me [more like bone crushed],while Yosuke hung back wiping his tears,
"We thought you were a goner Haku-"
I cut him off with a punch in the stomach."Don't call me that!" I groaned miserably.
"Now are you two alright?" If that fall was enough to knock me out…just think what it did to those two.

"I think I landed on my wallet earlier but I’m okay!" Yosuke flipped his shaggy hair, Chie-san gave a thumbs up signal to calm me.
That instant, a musical note appeared above my head claiming my Understanding increased.
"What the hell was that?!" I gasped in mixture of fear and annoyance.

“Wha?" Yosuke turned, scratching his head and offered a weak smile, "Must be
tired still, we should get outta here soon."
"Uh, didn't we land here after we fell?...So where's the exit?!" Chie-san screeched, sending us into another set of found a door brimming with an evil aura but of course they couldn't tell without a sixth sense.

Reluctantly I followed them into a distorted room. Blood was splattered all
over the walls, posters cut out, and to complete the ominous mood a scarf made
into a noose.
"Shit, I can't hold it anymore!" Yosuke unzipped his pants ready
to relieve himself in front of Chie-san. I boxed him round the ears, "Suck it up
man! There's a woman in our presence, for cryin' out loud!"

"Fine, can't go with both of you here." Yosuke whined, "I don't see an exit
anyway ,let's head back guys."
Chie-san's eyes darted over angrily,
"And Chie-san." I added hastily, not wanting to be kicked.

While heading back towards the fog filled area, I saw a shape move closer and
closer....to us?!
"Something's coming over here." I murmured quietly. "What something?" Chie-san searched frantically through the fog without success.

"Hey Chie-chan, good time as ever to use those kung-fu moves you're so proud
of." Yosuke pushed Chie-san forward. "Look, who's running, I'll handle this!" she stepped up and kicked the figure.

"Is it a monkey, a bear?" Chie-san lightly kicked the seemingly harmless bear once more. "An-And just who the heck are you guys?" the bear glared."Whoa it can talk?!" Yosuke's mouth hung open in surprise.
"I thought, he yelled out a noise or something!" Chie-san observed the bear."Can you help me up?" the bear grinned sheepishly.

"What is this place?" I finally spoke, my head felt murky and I was desperate
to escape this place.

"I lived here for a beary long time, it doesn't have a name." it replied. Now
we're getting somewhere... “Is there an exit?" I asked before kneeling on the
ground in pain.

"Someone's been tossing people in here, so it's a real big mess." Luckily no
one noticed my weariness and left me alone. "Where's the frickin' exit?!"
Yosuke shook the bear "H-Hang on! I'll show you."

A set of TVs appeared suddenly. The bear shoved us all together making it a tight

squeeze,

"Hey watch where you're touching!"
"Oww! It was an accident dammit!"

Sucks to be him. I thought.

I could already tell we were back at Junes without looking around. (Well that stupid jingle
was playing.)
"Whew,we're back!" Yosuke announced to no one in particular.

"Let's forget everything that happened okay?" Chie-san agreed with Yosuke but I on the hand.....

"How can you walk away like that?,didn't you notice those cut out posters were Misuzu Hiiragi? Just think, they may be connected to Mayumi Yamano!"

"Never would of thought of that! Good going Meitantei[2]!" Dammit what next, Conan? I gave up, both prefers to forget this incident.

Late Night

I snuggled back in my futon, praying for no creepy nightmares. (the gods weren't listening as usual.) I stood in an empty corridor with nothing but a door in front of me. I tried to open it and I recalled the voice…

Thou shalt know when tis thy time to do so.

I searched my pockets ,and found the key. The door creaked open ,revealing..a… my mind went blank, I…. wasn't I in a corridor?....so how the hell did I get in a limo? "An intruder as entered! Shall I eliminate him sir? " A cold voice startled me and in less than a second I found myself facing a blond woman holding a book threateningly.
"No, it is certainly wasn't the one I expected to arrive." An eerie voice chuckled.

"Come tell me you're name." A long- nosed geezer shook my hand and offered a
chair.
"My name is Tohru Adachi." I eyed the interior design. "Um....are we in a pub?"
"This is the Velvet Room. I am Igor, pleasure to meet you."
"Oughta be named the Velvet Limo instead." I muttered.

"Now, who gave you the key? Only those who are destined are allowed here, and you were certainly not on the guest list."
"Dunno,a figure shrouded in fog gave it."

"Ah, he forced the potential on you." Igor rubbed his hands sorrowfully and
downed a martini.
"And that means?" I waited for him to continue. "My boy, you
will have the burden of those who failed on your shoulders."
"Is that supposed to be bad?" I sighed; hating to be pulled into these things.

"You're journey shall be two different mysteries that could result in prosperity or....death." Igor let the last word sink in.

(1) Kappa is a legendary water monster that unfortunately isn't a Persona.

(2) Meitantei is a detective which is one of Adachi's many nicknames.
