Hello hello!! I figured it'd be kind of fun to try writing a romance story for each main pairing in Persona 4 (although I am showing favoritism toward Rise. teehee). So, this is an attempt at YosukexChie. It's not gonna be super romance-y, but I'll try by best. It's just hard for me to picture either one of them getting even a teeny-weeny bit romantic (no offense to them). Hopefully this doesn't suck too much...

Disclaimer: I don't own Persona 4 or the song that I based this fanfic on. =)

Chapter 1: Inaba's Wintry Welcome

The clouds crossed the sky like sailboats on the sea; the sun peeping in between the breaks in the white, fluffy cotton. The dreaded weekend had finally arrived for Yosuke Hanamura. The relocation to Inaba was tough for him, since he came from a bustling metropolis. The town of Inaba was small and quaint; it had the "homey" feel, where everyone knew everyone. And, most importantly, everyone knew his neighbors' business. The recent town news was about the Hanamuras' arrival and the opening of Junes.

Yosuke's father managed Junes, where the young teenager was roped into working. However, for the weekend, he was free to roam around and see the town a little closer than through the windows of their car. Since the town was small, Yosuke was sure it wouldn't take long to tour the town and be back home in time for dinner, so in his mind, there was no reason to ride his bike.

Wearing a thick jacket since it was the middle of winter, he stepped out of his house. He pulled out his ipod, putting the earphones in and starting it at his favorite song. A light blanket of snow covered the ground, so walking was rather tough. Four inches of the white powder was stacked, reaching a bit above his ankle.

A few minutes of walking and he was already bored. The cold made him sleepy, so he had to fight off the yawns from permanently freezing his mouth open. He began to watch his breath, flowing out of his mouth and then disappearing into the chilly winter air. Wishing he had worn a pair of gloves, he ran his hand through his brown unkempt hair to see how damp it was. He sighed as he wiped the snow-melted droplets against his jacket, only to realize that his jacket wasn't dry either.

He entered town, dully observing the nifty shops around him. His eyes glanced at a few of the less interesting stores, such as the textile shop and the liquor store. Approaching the shrine, he shrugged it off and decided to come back later. A luscious scent wafted through the air. Yosuke's nose picked up the aroma as if he were a hunting dog on the chase. His nose led him to a restaurant named Aiya's. He read the sign out front, jotting down in his memory bank that it would be the best place to eat at.

Yosuke eyed the "unique" stores, Daidara's and the Shiroku store, with odd confusion. What the? A weird little craft shop and a store that sells weapons?! What, are these hicks planning to raise an army or something? He chuckled at the thought of pure lunacy of it all. After passing by the stores, he arrived at the Samegawa River. The bulletin board on the road next to the river had new posts, but he thought it would be a waste of time to read the "exciting" news in a little town such as Inaba. Not used to the loud and sometimes annoying chirps of the local fowl, he turned the music playing in his ear louder in order to drown out the noise. Before he did though, he heard the strangest noise. The sound came from a human, at least he assumed it was human, but the noise sounded like something off a kung-fu movie.

Yosuke turned his attention to the plain next to the river. Near the river stood a girl in the brightest green jacket he had ever seen. The female looked to be around his age, but the way she was acting made her look like an energized kid. She was jumping around doing kung-fu moves at invisible targets. He noticed she was highly focused on what she was doing, but he couldn't help but laugh at her "hwa-taah"s and "hi-yaah"s.

Her moves were graceful, even effortless at times. Unconsciously, he found himself staring at her, soaking up the rhythmical pattern of her movements. The cliched line "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" definitely applies to her, he thought. The girl was a never-ending bundle of energy, not even stopping to take breath. Winter's breath didn't even seem to phase her.

The sun ducked under the horizon, casting a shadow across her face, the beads of sweat streaming down her neck. After observing her for so long, he came to the conclusion that even though she looked like a tomboy, she was fairly cute. Not to mention, with all the exercising that she did, her body had to be trim. All she needed was a decent personality, and she'd be the perfect girl. Noticing it was getting dark, he figured it would be best to go home. The first day of school was only a day away.

Well, there was my try! Chapter 2 will hopefully be up soon. I do plan on making it longer. This chapter was short since it was sort of "introducing" the pairing. By the way, the story is based on the song with the same name, The Brightest Green (though the song is about a girl's green eyes, but I figured it'd be cute if I shoved it toward Chie's jacket. heehee).

Now then, time to start working on Chapter 1 of my KanjixRise fanfic... Heheheh... SOON, I shall dominate the Rise section!!! Mwahahah XDD
