A/N: Mina! FacelessDoll here! I am almost finish with my first fanfic so I told myself, why not start my second fanfic? My inspiration just keeps on building up that's why I need to write this because I was typing it on my phone's Note application. I feel sorry for it because it was now full of fanfiction stories.

This story started just after Minato or Hamuko became the great seal (Which ever you prefer because I can't choose, originally Hamuko, so I'm gonna stick with her and all.) The story is continued, Mitsuru and Akihiko graduated, so they are no longer in the dorm. Shinjiro has finally woken up, and he continued living in the dorm with the others. Ken is also still in the dorm, while Junpei and the others are there also. My only problem was I don't know what arcana I'm gonna be choosing. . . My big bro, AkaiArsony told me I can't be a pierrot or jester arcana because it's the inverse of fool or strength and it's negative. SO secretly I'm still gonna be the pierrot arcana! Damn that Adachi! I'm gonna make the pierrot look good. But yeah, I'm gonna be a wild card and I'm gonna be (adding my own personas that weren't in the game!)-(MAYBE)

QUICKNOTE: This story contains scenes and reference in P3P and P4 in the story later on.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Persona 3 and other Shin Megami Tensei stuff. If you think I did, it would literally suck and have a crappy story.

*ATTENTION ALL PASSENGERS, WE ARE NOW ARRIVING IN IWATODAI STATION SHORTYLY.*

The station's announcement repeated its short notice to the other people in the train. One girl on the passenger's seat fluttered her eyes half open. She glanced to the window, seeing to her dismay that the train has not yet stop, she closed her eyes going back to her slumber even though the headphones on her ears are loud enough to make someone fully awake. But for her it's nothing. She got used to it and yet is still making her sleepier.

*ATTENTION PASSENGERS, WE HAVE ARRIVED IN IWATODAI. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE UNTIL YOU'VE CHECK THAT ALL YOUR THINGS ARE SECURED WITH YOU. CAREFULLY EXIT THE CAR. THANK YOU.*

The snow colored hair with black highlights girl opened her hybrid of crystal blue and crimson red eyes. She carefully stood up, still sleepy. She looked up and reached for her bag on top of the rack. Her height maybe a problem, but tip toeing on her feet is not a problem because she is used to it. But calling her small would be detecting a threat from her.

She walked to one of the automatic doors. As she stepped out, the clock suddenly ticked to 12:00 midnight. She suddenly became aware of her surroundings. Darkness suddenly enveloped around. The silver and white gown color of the moon suddenly turned into a foggy glass green emerald. Pools of crimson blood forming from streets just came out of nowhere.

". . ." She didn't even utter a word.

For her, this world was normal in her everyday life. She just continued and presses on where she left her tracks. She passed a lot of standing coffins, others covered in blood, that were once innocent bystanders before the hour.

That hour of the night seems not to bother her as the music in her headphones gets louder by the genre of the music changes to her different taste in music.

She stops in her tracks. Lifting her head up, her eyes were now focused on a building's doors. She just stood there with a stoic expression glued on her face.

As her Mary Jane shoes' heels clicked on the stairs, a sudden static in her headphones has corrupted her ears, shocked, she quickly removed her headphones. Turning off the music that was playing, she slowly put it near her ear. All she heard was statics even though there was no longer a sound playing in it. A voice began speaking; she didn't quite get what it was saying as the statics seem to interfere with its voice.

*YOU-SHA—FATE—CANNOT UNDO-*

The voice suddenly stopped. If described, it wasn't a voice, but voices. They all sounded very desperate as if something was pulling them down or making them say those words not at will, but someone commanding them to do so. Maybe they called the wrong number. The stoic girl can be dense a bit, and her sense of humor is sometimes to be taken as literally her answer by other people and her literal answer as a joke.

She reached out to grab the door's knob. But her movements have been stopped when the knob made sounds unlocking itself. The door crack open and there were two girls, one with teal colored hair, and other, a light brunette. They both gasped as if they never see another human being in this hour.

"Wait! You're—!" The dark surrounding suddenly change as the clock ticked, indicating the hour has ended.

"Yukari-chan, it seems to be over." The teal haired girl put her right hand over the brunette's left shoulder.

". . .Yeah." The brunette sighed.

She just stared at them like nothing happened and it was just a normal, cold night like any other nights that had passed.

The brunette looked at her, "Hey, how did you even managed-?"

"What?" She answered as if she doesn't know that hour.

"But you. . . Never mind. You must be the new tenant that we heard about. Please come in." She gestured her to go inside the dorm.

Walking inside the lounge area, a dog suddenly came running to her and started to bark at her happily.

"Koromaru? He seems to know her." Said the teal haired girl.

"Speaking of knowing her, my name is Takeba Yukari. The one with me is Yamagishi Fuuka."

"It's nice to meet you." Fuuka greeted the new tenant with a smile.

". . .Masaki Anahi."She replied with a, still, stoic face.

"I see. Anyway, here are some directions to make sure you have the directions covered. Over there is the kitchen, and over there is the bathroom. We have 4 floors. The 2nd floor is the boy's dorm, and the 3rd floor is the girl's floor. That's all you need to know!" Yukari smiled.

"Why don't we show you where your room is, Masaki-san?"

Anahi was petting Koromaru. He seems to be enjoying how her hands worked around under his chin. "What's on the 4th floor?" She asked flatly.

"Well. . . To uhh, put it bluntly. We're off limits there."

Anahi stared at the two girls; she knew there was something odd about it. "Okay."

They all went up. The sounds of their heels on the steps of the stairs were the only that can be heard in that night. Anahi took a glance on the boy's floor on the doors. She noticed that one of the doors is open. Must be someone staying here. The two girls in front were chatting, she listened.

"This girl. . . She was there during the dark hour. She wasn't a coffin." Yukari cupped her chin with her right hand.

"Do you think she. . .?"

Focusing her ears, even the slightest whispers she heard, she didn't understand a single word. In the end, she let it pass her.

"Well, here we are. This will be your room." Yukari grabbed and twisted the knob, pushing the door to open. The room was simple. The interior items might look dull, but it's enough because as a high school student, the materials are enough for her.

"You can decorate the room if you want to. Here's the key." Yukari handed over the key to Anahi, and she took it. "Welcome to the neighbor, Masaki-san." Fuuka flashed a gentle smile, welcoming her.

"You can call me by my first name. I'm not used to people calling me Masaki." The two girls look at each then to her and both laughed. "Well, okay, you can call us by our names too!" Yukari chuckled. "You're a mysterious one, aren't you?"

"If you need anything, just call us and we'll help you whatever we can." Fuuka giggled. Suddenly, Anahi felt a surging pain in her head. She was trying to keep up of what the two girls are saying, but all she can hear are the statics that she heard once.

. . .Nngh. What's going on? I can barely hear what they are saying. She was suddenly sweating bullets.

"Whoa. You alright there?" Yukari asked with concern.

". . .Just tired." Anahi managed to hear what she was saying.

"You should go to bed, Anahi-san. You must be exhausted after that long trip." Fuuka put her hands on Anahi's shoulders. They walked over to the bed and helped her sit down.

"Anahi-chan, we're going now. You should go to sleep now, 'kay?"

"Yeah." Anahi just stared at them, but this time, with a face that was a bit wincing in pain.

"Okay then. Good night." Yukari turned off the lights, grabbed the door knob and closed the door.

Her sweats were dripping from her chin, she began to feel hot. Anahi thought that it was probably that she was exhausted from the trip. She decided to lie down on the bed and just closed her eyes. She looked at the clock.

1:19 am

Time ticking, her eye lids began to feel heavy. Without resisting, she let the exhaustion to take control of her body, and finally, fell asleep.

In slumber. The clock ticking.

But then, she heard a sound that echoed in the darkness. Her face began to wince in pain, seeing in her dream, she saw a girl fighting something huge. She didn't quite make out the picture as statics were, once again, kept on appearing. She covered her ears, not wanting to hear those corrupted sounds. It became louder and louder. She opened her eyes. She found herself standing on air. Her eyes scanned the area, seconds later; a gate appeared with a figure of the girl she saw. The figure seems to be damaged and its color began to fade. She backed away in awe.

Moments later, a big black creature appeared. Her eyes we're trembling. What's going on?! The creature grabbed the figure and tried pulling it off. Annoyed, it repeatedly punched the figure, but seems not making a dent. But as it continues without stopping, it made its damage. When it was about to hit it again, a pillar of light appeared from above. Anahi covered her eyes. As she opened them, she saw a white figure; it seems carrying coffins on its left arm by using a chain and it was wrapped around. Behind it was a pillar designed like a throne, and on the side were wings.

Another pillar of light appeared, but this time, it hit the creature without warning. The creature had a giant hole. It fell on the ground. Anahi slowly walked towards it. The creature didn't make any movements; she looked up and saw the white figure observing her actions. She stopped when it was only more than 5 steps away.

Silence enveloped the place.

Her eyes scanning the creature. Suddenly the statics in her head came back. She shrieked in pain. The creature suddenly grabbed hold of her and stood up. She was terrified in that point. The white figure dashed to her and time was at still.

I am thou. . . Thou art I. . .

Thou call out the potential in the sea of thy soul.

The figure then shone a bright light. The creature was terrified. Anahi closed her eyes from its brightness.

Birds chirping and the sunshine's ray hitting on the snow haired girl, she opened her eyes. She sat up, holding her head with both of her hands; she began thinking about the dream. . . No, nightmare, she had. My potential? What does that even mean?

Fully awake, she made her way the to the sink area. She looked at herself in the mirror, reflecting her stoic face. Turning on the faucet, water was running down. She splashed her face with the cold water, hoping that she was in reality.

Yeah. I'm here, alright.

A knock suddenly came from my door. "Anahi-chan? It's me Yukari! If you like, would you like to walk with us to school? Fuuka thought since you're still new around here."

Anahi glanced back on the mirror and the reflection of her flashed again.

"Sure. Just let me change." Anahi answered.

"Alright, we'll be waiting for you." Fuuka's voice was heard.

Grabbing a towel, she took a bath, change into a female student's uniform of Gekkoukan High School. She fixed her hair by putting pins on her bangs. Since it's her first day of school, she doesn't want everyone to get to her bad side. Fixing her stuff, in her bag, her mechanical pencil suddenly rolled and dropped from the desk. Crouching down, her eyes adjust to finding where it rolled away. A second went, she manage to locate it.

As her hand was reaching for it, she noticed a black small box was also underneath there. She reached for both items. Putting the pencil in her bag, she examined the black box. She blew away the dust trying to look for a symbol of its brand. Her curiosity grew. She opened the box, to her shock, it was a silver gun. She wasn't expecting a gun in a box to appear.

What the hell would a gun be doing here? Her eyes began to tremble.

"Anahi-chan, you better hurry up or we'll be late." The voice of Yukari made her come back to reality. Grabbing the gun, she slipped it into her bag making sure it wouldn't stand out. Grabbing the door knob, she opened the door and the two girls looked at her.

"Wow, you look really cute. Ready for school?" Yukari flashed a smile.

"Mmm."

"Then, let's go."

The girls we're now in the train, heading to Gekkoukan High. Anahi noticed that the students were looking at her while whispering to their accompany. She just ignored them and listened to Yukari's and Fuuka's conversation.

"And she was all like—Ah! Here it comes! Get ready Anahi-chan!" Come's what?

"Anahi-chan, look over the window." Fuuka gestured.

She glances on the window where Fuuka was pointing out, of whatever's going on. Her eyes widen, her eyes reflected the ocean's beautiful crystal color. The sun's rays we're making it even shinier in awe.

"Isn't it magnificent? Whenever it reaches this area, I can't help it but it feels like I'm gliding over the ocean." Yukari's eyes were intranced by the ocean's magnificent color.

"What do you think Anahi-chan?" Fuuka looked at our heroine's hybrid eyes.

"It's fine." She answered with a stoic face.

"Whaaat? But usually people say it's beautiful. That's kinda very different coming from you." Yukari crossed her arms and pouted.

"Well I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Yukari-chan." Fuuka giggled.

"I guess you can say that. Anahi-chan, you don't really show some of your faces you know? It looks as if you really like your stoic face a lot."

" Sorry."

"That's not what I meant! It doesn't even bother me at all!"

The train was slowing down as it arrived in its destination. Students got off from the train. The students walking were by a dozen. Our three girls were talking while Anahi just answers in short words and just listened to their conversation most of the time.

"Well, here we are, Gekkoukan High." Anahi looked at the school starting from the bottom until to the rooftop. They all walked inside the school, change into their school shoes. They headed towards the bulletin board.

"We should find your classroom. Trust me; you don't wanna end up a stray sheep on your first day, don't you?"

Anahi shook her head. "No."

"Masaki. . . Masaki. . . Oh here it is! So Anahi-chan's classroom will be in Yukari-chan's"

"Oh, then that makes us classmates, then."

"That's great. Anyway, I need to go to my class now; I'll see the both of you after school, good bye."

"See ya later, Fuuka-chan."

"Bye."

*DING-DONG-DING-DONG*

"We should go to our class as well."

Anahi nodded in response.

"Alright, everyone, settle down. As you can see, we have a new student here. Her name is Masaki Anahi. From today onwards, she'll be your classmate."

"It's nice to meet you all."

"Alright, let's see. . . There's a vacant one there, why don't you sit down there." The teacher pointed to a vacant seat. Anahi walked over to the table and sat down.

*BA-DUMP*

Suddenly, she felt a tense pressure from the seat she was seating on. But she shook the thought away and listened to the teacher's lesson.

*DING-DONG-DING-DONG*

Classes were finally over. Anahi gather her notebooks and organized them. She grabbed her bag and upon opening the bag, she saw the gun she just put in without giving a thought.

"Anahi-chan!" Yukari called out her name and walked over to her desk. She putted her notebooks above the gun so that they won't notice it.

"So, how was your first day?"

"It was okay." She answered with her stoic face still etched.

"I guess with that face of yours, it doesn't need to be asked." Yukari giggled.

"Yo! You must be the new student!" A man in a cap, with a goatee, walked up to the girls.

"What do you want Junpei-kun? You must dozing off again so that you didn't noticed."

"Yuka-tan! A man also needs his sleep you know! You didn't know how much I worked hard for the last night's game boss to be beaten! And—"

"Boys and their games. . . Junpei-kun, you need to start to—"

Anahi just sat there and listened to their argument. She looks at the man and as if she was about to say something but couldn't do it because he was talking to someone else. The man notices that she was looking at her.

"Umm. . . Do you need something?"

"Stare."

"Gah!? Don't tell me. . . you have fallen in love with me!?"

"What!? No way! A girl would never fall in love with you! Anahi-chan! Tell me you didn't" Yukari shook Anahi.

"HmHm. Face it Yuka-tan, a guy has his own charms to work around with the ladies, and it worked around with her."

"Gross!" Yukari's face was indescribable.

"De—"

"Hm? De—" Yukari and the man said in sync and looked at each other, and back to Anahi.

"Your face looks like a deer in headlights." Anahi finally spoke.

The man fell and Yukari was just laughing. "I can't believe she said that!" she continued laughing.

Well it's true, aside that, he looks more a hobo if you take off the hat.

"Sigh. . . Well moving on, I'm Iori Junpei! I also live in the dorm. I was on my way of also welcoming you, but since I was busy—"

"Yeah, busy playing." Yukari finally stopped laughing and gained her composure. Junpei started to sweat. "W-well, if you need anything, just give me a call. Oh yeah, when I saw the three of you come to the school, you all look like a bevy of beauties! Too bad Aigis wasn't with you. It could complete the whole picture!"

"Aigis?"

"Uhh, a friend of ours."

"Does she live in the dorm as well?"

"Uhh, sort of."

"I see."

"Excuse us for a minute, Anahi-chan." Yukari grabbed Junpei by the ear. Junpei kept on saying out words that means it hurts as Yukari dragged him to area near the window. "Idiot! Why did you have to say her name?"

"Sorry, it kinda slipped out and all."

"Sighed. I'll let it slide." They then came back to Anahi's seat.

"So, Anahi-chan, what club are you going to join in?"

"Probably. . ."

"Really, you should. . ."

The conversation continued, but as the bell rings, and the teacher arrives, they all went back to their usual place.

*DING-DONG-DING-DONG*

As the bell rang, everyone in class started going out. Saying their goodbyes, asking if they want to go somewhere. It was a normal school day for Anahi. She was fixing her bag, preparing to depart.

"Anahi-chan, Do you want to walk home together?" Junpei suddenly asked.

"Sorry, but I'm gonna do my homework today in the library."

"Whaaaat? Boring, then how you Yuka-tan?"

"Club activities."

"Gah! Looks like I'm going home alone. See you back at the dorm then, guys." Junpei walked off and waved his hand in the air.

"See you later too, Anahi-chan." Yukari then run off.

". . .See ya." Anahi responded.

She put on her headphones, turned up the volume, chose a song and finally walked out inside the classroom. She glanced over her surroundings and made her way to the library.

The school wasn't that big, and there were names of the offices and classroom so that she won't have any problem remembering them. She finally saw the kanji letters spelling 'Library' she walked inside, there some students there and also the Liberian. She walked to one of the empty tables. Placing her bag, she dashed off to find the books she needed for her homework for science and history class.

She returned with six books in hand, placing them in the table and taking her seat. She took her notebooks out, and she notices the gun's shine. She closed the bag. Scanning her notes and flipping pages, she began doing her homework.

30 minutes passed, and she seems tired. Darn it, it's because I didn't get enough sleep last night. But maybe a quick doze will help. She set her things aside, she look at the clock and it was 4:30 pm. She decided to be awake in 15 minutes. Placing her hands on the table and using them as her pillow, she falls asleep.

"I'm back!" Yukari walked and sat down on the couch. "Man, I'm tired!" Fuuka smiled at the tired brunette and continued typing on her laptop.

"Welcome back, oh, you're not with Anahi-chan?" Junpei went down the stairs and sat on the couch also.

"Ehh? I thought she already came back."

"No, she still hadn't."

"I'm worried about her." Fuuka said with concern.

"Do you think she's alright? Her being new here will probably get herself lost easily." Junpei was also concern.

"Then, why don't we wait for her? If she hasn't come back in an hour or so, let's go look for her." Yukari spoke and all was in agreement of what she said.

So this is my second fanfic and yes, I am not following my rule "write one story at a time." Why? Duh, because my brain is about to explode if I don't do it! So anyway, I hope you guys like my Persona 3 series story. Comments, suggestions and other things that are in the same term with them are welcome!
