Author's Note: Obsessed with Persona for a loonngg time now so I'm going to make a story about it. This is my interpretation of Persona 4 Portable just because Souji/Yu looks kind of cool in the female uniform and pigtails wig.

If he was girl, he would actually be cute. (Creepy statement so I'll shut up now ._.)

Enjoy!


"Welcome to the Velvet Room."

She finds herself in what appears to be a limousine, shelves of glasses and liquor on her left side, and a man with a very long nose and a woman dressed in a blue outfit. The woman is beautiful, she admits, but the man gives her a stare with those tiny pupils and a wide creepy grin.

"It seems we have a guest… with an intriguing destiny," he chuckles. She nearly jumps at the sound of his voice.

"My name is Igor. I am delighted to make your acquaintance. This place exists between dream and reality, mind and matter… It is a room that only those who are bound by a 'contract' make enter… Now, why don't you introduce yourself?"

Igor sees her hesitating and chuckles. "Don't worry… I won't hurt you. Just let me take some of your time and let me explain myself just a bit…"

She sees his grin widen. Nonetheless, she says her name to them. "Setsu Seta."

The man nods just a bit. "Hmm… I see. Now… let's take a look into your future shall we?"


Setsu wakes up when she hears a buzzing noise from her phone. She reaches into her bag and sees that she just got a text message.

[Meet us outside Yasoinaba Station at 4PM.]

For a year, she will now live in her mother's hometown Inaba. Truthfully, Setsu doesn't expect much from it. She was born in the city and moved to other cities for as long as she remembers. Although, taking a break from it doesn't seem too bad. A girl needs to relax once in a while.

After boarding the next train to Yasoinaba station, she looks outside. The scenery is quite beautiful. Not as amazing as those pictures she saw online, she thinks. Still, it's beautiful. She hears the announcement that they will be arriving shortly.

Setsu walks out of the station holding her large black bag. She searches around for anyone familiar.

"Hey! Over here!"

She looks over to the source of the voice and saw a middle-aged man waving to her. She walks over until she is face-to-face with him. He extends his hand toward her and they shake hands.

"Well, you're more beautiful in person than in your photos," he commented. "Welcome to Inaba. I'm Ryataro Dojima. I'm your mother's younger brother… and that about sums it up. You really do resemble her."

Setsu smiles politely. "It's nice to meet you."

"I'll say. You've really grown!" He chuckles. "I still remember when you were in diapers."

An awkward silence fills the air. Setsu holds her bag tighter while Dojima looks away as his face reddens. The little girl near her uncle started to pull on her father's shirt and Dojima brings her in front of him.

"This is my daughter," he introduces. "Go introduce yourself to your cousin."

She fidgets a little and looks at her shoes. "…'ello." She blushes and walks back behind her father.

She is so cute… Setsu watches her look up at her and then look down.

Dojima chuckles for a bit. "Why are you so shy for?" Nanako smacks him. "Ow!" He chuckles a bit more while Nanako pouts at him.


"Welcome to Moel!"

An attendant runs to the car and prepares to fill in the gas tank. Dojima comes out of the car and starts to smoke near the sidewalk while Nanako runs to the bathroom. Setsu goes outside and gently breathes in the fresh air.

"Are you in high school?"

She looks at the attendant who smiles at her. She feels suspicious since this is not the first time she heard this question. She remains emotionless as he continues to interrogate her. "Does it surprise a city girl to see how little there is out here?"

She answers him back. "It's different."

The attendant's smile widens. "There's so little to do I'm sure you'll get bored fast. You'll either be hanging out with your friends or doing part-time jobs. That reminds me! We are actually looking for workers right now."

He walks up to her until they are at arm's length and he reaches a hand out to her. "Give it some thought, why don't you?"

Setsu smiles a bit and shakes his hand. "I'll consider it."

The attendant gives her a friendly look and then goes back to work. Setsu raises a hand to her head as she feels dizzy. Nanako comes back from the bathroom and looks at Setsu quizzically.

"What's wrong?" she asks. "Are you carsick? You don't look too good."

It must be from the train ride, she thinks. It did take her a couple hours to get to Inaba so she decides to take a rest when she gets the chance.


With a table full of food and a cup of soda for each person, Dojima raises a toast as a welcoming ceremony for Setsu. "I know it's only for a year, but getting stuck in a place like this just because of your parents… It's rough being a kid."

"It's just me and Nanako that lives here. So now that you're here, you're part of the family as well. So make yourself at home."

Setsu nods. "Thank you for your kindness."

"C'mon, there's no need to be so formal," Dojima reassures. "Look, you're making Nanako all tense." The little girl widens her eyes a bit and glances at her older cousin; she looks down while playing with the ends of her dress. "Well then," he sighs, "let's eat."

As he reaches for his chopsticks, his phone rings. "Hang on." He takes his phone out of his pocket and answers, "Dojima speaking…"


It's been a while since I've written anything so I hope I did well! I'm sorry if it's a bit choppy at some part, but I hope you enjoyed it. :)
