Two Month after Yuu Narukami's farewell party.

Yosuke is reading a text messages from his friends,first from Yuu,and then Chie,Yukiko,Kanji,Naoto,and Teddie then put his phone back to his pocket and start listening to his headphone.

"Can't believe I really moved away…"Yosuke thought to himself. He was on a train that headed to another city,Yosuke then opened his bags and read a letter from his Dad.

"Yosuke-kun,it seems that Junes will be moved to another city….so we too have to move to the new city,but for you...you will be moved to a city next to it,It is also a small city like Inaba,I'm sure you will love it,you will be staying at an apartment where his daughter live,it's okay if you live together with a girl right?.And don't forget you will move to the same high school as his daughter."

Yosuke then sighed and closed his eyes in excitement and thought"Well,I guess this year will be interesting,besides I might got a girlfriend this time!Living together with a girl...i smell victory!"

Yosuke start to remember about his past journey,about Persona,Shadows,and everything then closed his eyes and fall to sleep.

When Yosuke closed his eyes,he found himself in a room.A long-nosed man then greeted him"Hello….."

"Who are you?"Yosuke asked back.

"My name is Igor my dear guest…"Igor replied.

"And what do you want from me?"Yosuke asked.

"I could see…that thou will find thyself a new truth lies beyond thou new journey…."Igor explained.

"Speak normally will ya?"Yosuke replied

Igor than grinned and said"All right….PERSONA PERSONA PERSONA PERSONA PERSONA!"as he stick his nose to Yosuke's face

"What are you doing?Get your nose off my face!"Yosuke replied

"SOCIAL LINKS SOCIAL LINKS SOCIAL LINKS SOCIAL LINKS SOCIAL LINKS!"Igor keep speaking while his nose got closer to Yosuke face

"What the hell!"Yosuke shouted and wakes up in horror.

"Thank God it is only a bad dream…come to think of it,how do he know Persona?"Yosuke thought to himself.

Yosuke then shake his head in frustration and take his then walked through the train's automatic door,because the train already arrived.

"Wow…not bad for an old-country style town."Yosuke thought to himself while he stare at a billboard above him

Yosuke then leave the train station and walked around the town,he try looking for the house that his father ponted to in the letter.

After 30 minutes of walking,Yosuke stopped in front of an apartment.

"Nice apartment...what's her name again? Aisaka-san isn't it?"he try to search for the room with Aisaka with it's name.

He then saw a room, the name "Aisaka Taiga was written on it's door."

"Huh? It's locked? Password? Oh crap! I forget to ask the password!"he shouted in realization.

"Well...staying here won't do anything,i guess i must look for her at the school...even though i will start studying there tommorow..."He was deep in thought.

After he walk for a while,he arrived at the school gate.

He could hear some people said"Hey,is that the new student,he's kinda cute?"and"I heared that he's from a big city,his aura is sure different then us."

Yosuke then thought"Hey,I guess I'm already famous here…I guess I could take a break for a while without fighting for the world,murders,and…."

Yosuke shivered when he remembers his days at Yasogami High,especially the part when Chie scream"TRIAL OF THE DRAGON!"and kick him in his crotch.

"Oww,I think I could still felt that one…damn it Chie…."Yosuke thought to himself.

Feeling excited,he entered the school and cause some commotion.

Suddenly,he bumped into something,which somehow made the students around him take a step back.

"Ehhh? The new student already challenged the Palmtop Tiger!"a male student shouted and run away.

"This is sure interesting to watch!"another female student said.

"So...should you say sorry after you bump someone?"a girl voice was heard.

When he looked down,he found a small girl with wavy long brown hair is staring at him furiously.

"Palmtop Tiger? I think i could understand the Palmtop part...but,why Tiger?"he stared at her confusely.

The girl quickly raise her hand and punch him in the face,which knocked Yosuke down.

Due to the training in the TV World,Yosuke quickly jumped back to his position.

"Move!"the girl said furiously.

"Oi! What is that for?"Yosuke asked while rubbing his face.

"To teach you never stand in my way and made funny thought about my body!"the Palmtop Tiger answered while trying to push Yosuke away.

"Pfft...fine,you won."Yosuke sighed and let the girl pass through.

"Idiot!"she pointed at him and kick him in his crotch,which brings back memories.

"Oww..."he jumped in pain as he stare at the girl walk through the corridor with anger.

"I guess that's why she was called the Palmtop Tiger...but she's really cute..."he thought to himself before he leave the school and go back to the apartment.

"Hmm...since the school is over at 2 o'clock...what should i do to kill time?"he took out his handphone and search the name Yuu Narukami and called him.

"Sup bro?"he said on the phone.

"Oh hey Yosuke,how do you do?"Yuu asked back.

"I'm fine,what are you doing?"Yosuke asked,while he start to remember the adventures he went with his partner.

"I'm a little busy now,call me later okay?"Yuu hunged up.

Feeling dissapointed,he try to call each of his friends,but they are busy too.

"This sucks...am i the one who doesn't have anything to do?Maybe i didn't grow up at all..."he lie down on the ground and stare at the sky,before he fell asleep.

In his dream,he saw a familliar girl in front of him,she was beaten up and crying heavily,when he walk closer,a Shadow appeared.

"Save me! Yosuke!"the girl reached out her hand to him.

5 hours later,6 PM

He suddenly wakes up after he felt a stream of water crashed with his face.

"Idiot...what are you doing in front of my house?"a familliar voice called him.

"You! The Pamltop Tiger!"Yosuke pointed at the girl who standing in front of him.

"Don't ever say that again!"she punch him in the face.

"Sorry...i'm here looking for Aisaka Taiga,are you a friend of her?"he asked while rubbing his face.

"Eh? I'm Aisaka Taiga...what do you want?"Taiga asked him.

"You're Aisaka Taiga? I'm Yosuke Hanamura,i'm the one who will live here from now on."he stood up and introduce himself.

"Great...you're the idiot who will live here...okay,you may live here,but i will give you some rules."she explained as both of them enter the room.

"It's so big! But,it's so...barren here"Yosuke thought to himself.

"Your room is there..."Taiga pointed at a small dusty room.

"Eh? Isn't there any room that suitable for me to live?"he asked shocked.

"There's only one bedroom and don't even think sleeping together with me you perverted bastard!"she answered furiously.

"It's not like that!Can i sleep in that couch instead?"Yosuke blushed and replied nervously while pointing at an unused couch.

"Hmph...but you must cook my breakfast,lunch,and dinner! You must clean the house once a day!And you must be my loyal dog!Get it?"she explained.

"Pssh...fine..."he sighed relucantly.

"And now cook my dinner! I want fried pork for tonight!You can cook right?"she asked.

"Of course i can...well dinner will be served at exactly 15 minutes,go take a shower first,i will call you later."he sighed and go to the kitchen.

But,after he learned that the kitchen is freakin dirty,he decided to clean it first and cook the dinner.

15 minutes later.

"Let's eat!"both of them said and start eating.

"Yumm! This is good!"Taiga thought with a red face.

"You like it?A friend teach me."Yosuke asked.

"Not bad for an idiot i guess..."she replied bashfully.

"Yeah,whatever you say."he sighed.

"So Yosuke,could you tell me about yourself?But don't take it wrong! It's not like i care about you or anything..."she asked.

"Gee...i don't know..."he try to make up a good lie after he almost say"Me and my friends go to a TV World,solving murders,and save the world!"

"Heh,just like i thought...you're a pathetic loser!"she claimed.

"Hmph,make whatever assumption you wish...if i told you the truth,i believe even you will be speechless too."Yosuke grinned

"Yeah,whatever you say...by the way,i'm going to my bedroom,don't forget to wake me up tommorow or you will sleep in the bathroom. And don't you ever enter my room!"she said while entering the room and slammed the door.

"Haaah...how did i stuck with her in the first place? How can those cute eyes,beautiful face,and all-around nice girl have that kind of attitude?Man i'm so tired...i guess i better get some early sleep so i can wake her up early tommorow..."he sighed and sleep on the couch.

2 hours after he try to sleep on the hard couch.

"That's it! I can't take it anymore!"he jumped from the couch.

"I don't care what will she say and do,but there must be an empty room somewhere!"he shouted while looking around the house.

After he gave up,he decided to watch a show through the laptop he recently bought.

"Okay...i really don't know why Kanji and Teddie like to see these Vampire Love Story...but it sure a great way to kill time!"he thought to himself.

When he look at the clock,it's been 11:59:55 PM.

"Hey if you think about it...i somehow miss the Midnight Channel...back there,it's the only thing that never get boring for me...but it's gone now..."he stare at the clock that slowly ticks to midnight.

"Oh well...no use wasting time about it...i better get some sleep...and i must get used living here..."he try to close his eyes,before his phone rings.

"Okay...this is sick! Just at the time i was about to sleep peacefully,there was a freakin-!"he took out phone in anger and stare at the screen,which shocks him.

Who shall we start with?

How about that spoiled girl?

Let's start the show one more time!

But now...you are alone!

"What do you mean...start the show one more time?"he stare at the mysterious message.

He then stare at his laptop,when suddenly a clip appeared.

"Welcome to my very own Midnight Channel!"a black figure shown in the screen with a mike.

"No way!"he stare in shock.

"To my old friend,Yosuke Hanamura,who just moved to another town,we have a special present for you!"the figure pointed to a big screen behind him.

On the screen,a person was shown tied unconcious into a chair in a dark room,that person was Taiga.

"Who are you? This is a joke right?"he asked to the screen.

"Hahahah! Funny one old friend...this is a joke? Then how about this?"the figure summoned something familliar to Yosuke.

"That's...Susano-O!"he shocked at the sight where his Persona is shown standing next to the figure.

"Do you still think this is a JOKE? It will happen in a few days...and you will be sitting on the VIP seats to watch this...thanks for watching our program!"the figure laughed and the screen went blank.

"Is this...for real?"he stare at the blank screen before he grinned.

"All right,i will take your challenge whoever you are...and i will make sure nobody will ever have the same fate as Saki-senpai!"he vowed to himself.

Day 1,End.
