"Something tells me I took the wrong train..." I said aloud, while looking around the city. "Damm, why is it so cold?" I closed the zipper of my grey FILA vest, while taking out my cell phone ,out of my jeans.
"No signal?"Now that was weird. I was in a city after all. "Okay calm down." I was getting nervous for nothing. Stroking through my short black hair, opening and closing my sport shoes.
"Damn get a hold of yourself, Kaido." Kaido Izumi, my parents are from Japan, but I lived my whole life in Germany. I took a look at my watch. 23:55?!
"Damn, must have fallen asleep during the train ride. So where am I? And just why is everything written in Japanese?"
Now things are starting to get weird. Wait, I was in Iwatodai?!
"Okay, time to panic. Or I might as well head towards that dorm. Wait do I even have a persona? And what date do we have, anyway?"
Cell phone: says its May 2013. Great, just great.
"So much for that. No signal, huh? Guess they've different wavelengths for their phones." I mused aloud. Sighing I decided to make my way, although I had no idea where to go in the first place. But I had to make my way. Suddenly the world turned green.
"What de fuck?" I said, pretty calm actually. Blood puddles, a yellow moon and coffins.
"Well this'll be fun." I said, rolling my eyes. Although it'd sound like fun in a fanfiction, this was (more or less) real life. Game over meant life over! And to make things better, I just HAD to ran into the magican shadow. Oh yeah, full moon.
"Oh, shit." The magican looked at me. I looked at him or it. He charged and I ran. And I cried. Hey, what do you expect? My fucking life was on the line! I just hoped I'd run into Akihiko or even STREGA! But I had at least some luck by arriving at the dorm.
At that a certain red head and the chairdude (I like to call people with dude in their name or profession) came out. Well, they weren't really happy to see my 'buddy'. With a stumble I came to a full stop, behind the empress by the way. Turning around, there were three small guys and not the big one.
"What the-? Where's the big guy?!"
"Big guy?" asked the chairdude. I nodded.
"I was chased by a really big- there he is!" I pointed to the building. The magican was climbing up the dorm.
Mitsuru was taking care of the low bob shadows.
"I need to do something." I growled. I hated to rely on others, yet I did it often. Far too often.
"I'm really useless, huh?"
"Head inside!" cried the redhead over her shoulder. Both me and the dude obeyed. But I had still my own plans. I ran upstairs and finally to the roof, ignoring the chairmans cries. I thought if I would awaken to a persona, then at the place of the beginning. I stormed through the door, just to see Yukari getting knocked out by an agi spell. Instead of to the girl, the evoker landed next to me.
"Here goes nothing." I said. Normally I'd have panicked, but I was so full of adrenaline, I didn't care it looked like a gun.
"Persona!" I exclaimed and pulled the trigger. And really something came out. Something unexpected. Imagine an Orpheus with the colors of Magatsu-Izanagi. Yep, that was what came out: Magatsu-Orpheus.
"Crush it!" I cried. Okay seriously, think about my command just for one second: the magican got tons of swords and I commanded a physical attack. And my Orpheus only knew Bash. Yeah, you guys can imagine what happened. M-O flew towards the shadow, the thing parried, then stepped my persona, causing him to disappear and me to cringe in pain and the grand finale: it stabbed me through the chest.
It hurt. It hurt a fucking lot! The rest of the night I screamed, until I had lost too much blood to do anything at all. I kind of missed everything else.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Pain, that's the first thing I felt after waking up: a lot of fucking pain. I was inside a hospital and it looked like afternoon. Just when I turned my head around, the girl from the other day entered. To be more precise, the wild card.
"You're awake." she exclaimed.
"No shit sherlock." I chuckled and coughed a bit. Her gaze turned worried and she approached my bed pretty fast.
"You should take it easy."
"Take what? I have nothing in my hands." Okay, I have a habit for bad jokes. Despite the poor joke she smiled non the less.
"At least you still have your humor."
"Yeah, it's still as bad as ever. By the way I'm Kaido Izumi. And you're?"
"I'm Hamuko Arisato. Nice to meet you, Kaido-kun."
"Just Kaido is fine."
"Only if you call me Hamuko." she grinned.
"Sure thing." I nodded. "By the way, how long have I been out?" I asked.
"About nine days. I've woken up just the other day."
"Uhuh, ummm did the docs said anything about me?"
"Well," she gained a thoughtful expression "they said, you were recovering much faster, than any normal human, so you can get out pretty soon." she said.
I nodded. "Must be my persona. That reminds me, the damn shadow destroyed my favorite vest." I pouted. Hamuko was a bit shocked.
"Wait, you know about shadows and personas?" she asked.
Okay now I had to come up with something.
"I well, know the basics. A persona user saved my ass a few times. Too bad I lost contact. That was a few years ago."
Hamuko seemed to buy the story, which saved my ass for now. However there was still the problem with having no legal papers or anything. I already told her my name and came up with a story about someone saving my life a few years ago, so there was nothing with an amnesia story.
And enter the Kirijo girl. Well, I guess it would be better if we get this over with quick.
"I see you're awake."
"Yup." I waved with a hand. "Thanks for the saving the other day."
Her face remained hard. No wonder people called her ice queen.
"You're Kaido Izumi, am I right?"
"Okay~, I guess you've been listening to our little conversation, right?"
"DNA-Analyses." That was a quick reply. Wait my DNA?
"Okay, I'm gonna ask later about why you guys took my DNA..."
"I'm Mitsuru Kirijo. Arisato, would you give us a moment?" she asked Hamuko, who nodded.
"See you later."
"Yeah, laters." When Hamuko was out, Mitsuru's gaze even hardened more.
"Okay, something up? Did I commit a crime or something?"
Mitsuru just sighed and dropped some kind of newspaper. I read and read and read.
"Holy taco of a potato!" I exclaimed.
...
"Okay, I get ya. Ya think I'm a shadow, right?"
Mitsuru's eyes lit up in surprise for just one second. Damn that ice queen thing. I nodded.
"Well I can kind of understand that...and I don't have any legal papers." No use hiding it, she probably knew already.
"Are you a shadow?" she asked.
"Well, I personally feel human and I do have a persona now. Got a bit lucky with the awakening."
"If you're not a shadow, how do you know about shadows and personas in the first place?" she asked.
"Well, a persona user saved my life and explained a few things. Too bad, I lost contact, so I have no way to confirm my claim."
Better try to be honest (okay, half-honest) if you want to gain someone's trust and you're in a bad position. Why she had not executed me yet, was beyond me, but I was glad.
I took another glance at the newspaper and read a bit more in detail.
"Wait, Kirijo-Group? Port Island...wut? Okay this MUST be a misunderstanding!"
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"Well, it says the Kaido-dude here sacrificed himself for others. Can't be me, I ain't having that attitude. I'm always relying on others! I'm a selfish person!" I returned the newspaper.
"Can't be me for sure. If I had to speculate, I got trapped, while others escaped, IF this is me we're talking about."
Mitsuru's eyes fell. Damn this Kaido-dude here must've been a friend of hers.
"I see. Still your DNA is the same." she said with a bit more intense. She almost sounded desperate.
"Hmm, the chances of two dudes DNA being the same is slim." I mused. "So it's either amnesia or I come from another dimension. Okay, maybe I watched a little too much sci-fi."
From the looks of it, she hoped the first option. Wait she actually showed her emotions! Hello? OOC warning!
"Okay, let's go for the amnesia story, although I'm sure...nah forget what I was about to say."
"So, you really don't remember anything?" she asked. I shook my head.
"Sorry, but DNA is DNA after all. I guess there's a possibility. By the way, did anyone asked for me or something?"
Mitsuru shook her head. "Your parents died even before the explosion."
"Really? Okay...things are starting to get weird. I'm even starting to belief the amnesia story myself."
At that my stomach growled. "Hey, shut up down there! We get to eat, when this is over!"
Mitsuru chuckled. BIG OOC WARNING!
"Sorry about that, sometimes he got a bigger mouth than me."
Mitsuru really had a hard time suppressing a chuckle. Damn it, what was wrong with her? Ain't she supposed to be the ice queen?
"I will look forward that you'll be released immediately. We will look further into your matter later, after you've eaten. You must be starved, ten days without anything."
"Wanna try it out?" I asked. She smiled and left.
Truth to be told, 10 minutes later I was released.
"You can stay at our dorm for the time being."
"Thanks, but if I'm staying at the dorm, do I have to attend school?"
"Yes."
"Damn. *sigh* I guess it can't be helped." Just so you know, I was wearing a spare Gekkougan Uniform. My other clothes got destroyed, too.
We drove towards the dorm with a limo. It was pretty cool.
"Someone got money to burn." I grinned. "Pretty cool limo ya got here." Mitsuru chuckled AGAIN! Just what was going on here!? Is it 'cause I'm from another world or something?
Well, the surprises didn't end at the dorm.
"Oh they're back!" said a rather pink girl.
"'Sup?" I waved with my hand. All were together at the couch.
"My na-"
"No way, Kaido!?" exclaimed an exited Akihiko.
"Okay, amnesia sure sucks. But man, did ya have to be so loud Akihiko?" I saked. That wasn't a slip, it should just look like one.
"Wait, how do I know your name?" I asked and got a thoughtful expression with a little bit of pain. Things started to get better.
