Chapter 1: Mysterious Voice
Don't answer the phone....
Souji was smiling as he stared at the photo in his hand. It had all of his best friends from Inaba in it. His right hand man, Yosuke, the often rambunctious Chie, the hot-headed Kanji, the hyperactive duo of Rise and Teddie, the beautiful Yukiko and the Detective "Prince" Naoto. He had so many fond memories with them, and even solved a murder case with them.
He had done this every day since he got back from the little rural town of Inaba, he would wake up, eat shower and sit in his room staring at the picture with a saddened smile like look on his face. He missed them and he wanted to go back to Inaba to stay with them forever, but that wasn't how it was. Life didn't just stop and let you hold onto each golden moment you have, it continued to progress and eventually it took everything.
He did talk to them from time to time, but that wasn't keeping the ashen-haired boy content like it use to. He wanted to see them again, to be able to go to Junes and hang out with them on their days off from school or even during school days after it was over. The world truly was a cold place to live in and now he was starting school tomorrow and he decided that he would just have to suck it up and deal with it. The pain, the loss, and the loneliness.
Sure he had a friend that still remembered him and came by his home. Speaking of that friend Souji had to go meet her today at 5:30pm at the tofu shop and his watch that he got from Naoto told him it was 4:58pm.
"I guess I better get dressed and go then…" Souji Sighed. "I don't need Momo-san getting angry with me." Souji said as he sighed again.
Souji got dressed in a regular black short sleeve button up shirt and a pair of his old Yasogami high school pants. He put on his shoes very sluggishly as he told his mother from the doorway that he'd be going to hang out with a friend for a while
Walking out of his house his phone began to vibrate in his pocket. Souji continued to walk ignoring it. He figured it was spam again, or one of those bogus chain messages that he always got around this time every day.
Souji was about halfway to the tofu shop when his phone began ringing. He sighed and took it off his pocket to see the caller id it read unknown name. Confused, Souji answered it without letting it ring a third time.
"Hello." Souji greeted in a somewhat cautious tone of voice.
"Hello there Souji Seta." A mysterious dark male voice answered back.
Souji more hastily checked the caller id again to see the number, but unfortunately that too was unknown.
"Who is this, and how do you know this number?" Souji asked on edge slightly.
"Who I am matters little at the moment. What does matter right now is you, my friend. Oh, and don't bother going to the police with this. The number can't be traced." The mysterious voice said in a very condescending tone.
Souji thought about hanging up, but what the mysterious person on the other end said made him toss that idea out the window.
"I was thinking that maybe you should continue going to Mirino Tofu, because your beautiful friend is waiting for you. I'd hate to keep her waiting; you don't know what kind of people are out at this time in the evening." The mysterious voice chuckled softly as the line went dead.
Souji quickly stuffed his phone in his pocket and ran toward the Mirino Tofu shop.
As the ashen-haired teen entered the store he quickly looked around for her before pulling out his cell phone and dialing her number.
"Hey Souji-senpai, where are you? I thought you weren't going to be late." Momo said sounding sighed a sigh of relief as he mouthed the words 'thank god' to himself.
"I'm at the entrance, where are you?" Souji asked hoping she hadn't left to go home yet.
"I'm behind you my silly senpai." Momo said as she hung her phone up and Souji turned to see her.
She was wearing a long black dress with the collar outlined in white and her light-blue hair was up in a ponytail as usual. The moment Souji noticed the necklace with the swan on it he couldn't help but smile.
"I can't believe you're actually wearing it." Souji said as Momo blushed a little.
"Well…, what do you think Souji-senpai? I thought I'd wear it for you today since I've been making you work like crazy to help me get ready for the new school term." Momo said while staring at the floor and the blush on her face turning a darker shade of crimson.
"We're both going to the same school this year Momo-san. I don't mind helping you out at all." Souji said while his phone vibrated in his pocket.
Without thinking Souji took out his phone and read the first message that was as he thought spam and then turned his attention to the second. The message's title said read if you dare with the sender's name and number listed as unknown. Souji's heart skipped a beat as the color drained from his face, and his expression growing serious. He opened the message and read the contents.
"Hello again, my friend. She really is one of the most beautiful girls I've seen in a long time. I look forward to meeting you in the future. Who knows, maybe you could bring your cute little girlfriend too."
Remember this, Souji Seta, I'm watching you.
Sincerely Yours Solus Silhouette
"Souji…, whats wrong?" Momo asked moving closer to the clearly astonished ashen-haired teen.
Souji quickly looked around with a bewildered look on his face.
"Senpai, whats wrong?" Momo asked again moving closer.
"It's nothing Momo-san. We should get everything done quickly today, I'm not feeling… so well." Souji said faking a headache.
"Alright then, my mom called and told me to worry about the Tofu another time, so let's go directly to the supply store and get the rest of notebooks." Momo said as she put her hand on Souji's face staring into his gray eyes with her gentle green ones.
Souji rushed through Momo's shopping, but also made sure she got everything she needed. At about 7:40pm Souji and Momo walked past the Okinawa mall on their way to her home.
"Hey senpai." Momo said fidgeting with the bag strap in her hand.
"Yes Momo-san, what is it?" Souji asked continuing to look ahead.
"Well…um…uh…. W-when are your parents going on another one of their trips?" The blue-haired girl asked as a blush formed on her face.
"Tomorrow. They won't be gone for too long this time, so I won't be leaving. Why do you ask?" Souji asked still looking straight ahead.
"I-I-I…was…, wondering if you wanted to come over…to my house, you know to hangout." Momo said while the blushing on her face began to grow a darker shade of red.
Souji seemed somewhat surprised by the question. After a second or so he replied to her question with one of his own.
"W-what about your parents?"
"My dad is in China on business and my mother has a meeting to attend to. C'mon Souji-senpai, don't leave me by myself. I promise it'll be…fun senpai." Momo said moving to stand in front of Souji.
"I don't think I should, but with this new guy messing with me and threatening Momo I don't want her to go unprotected." Souji thought to himself before answering her. "Alright then, but on one condition." Souji said holding up one finger.
"What is it Senpai?" Momo asked looking curious.
"We sleep in separate rooms; I don't want to be accused of doing something disgraceful." Souji said taking out his phone.
"Kay…. At least I'll be safe." Momo said trying to hide her saddened look.
They stopped by Souji's house to get a uniform and a change of clothes. After wishing his mother a goodnight Souji and Momo arrived at her house at 8:30pm.
It was a nice little blue and white house, but at this time the shadows gave it a dark and mysterious look. They entered the darkened house, leaving their shoes discarded at the front door. Momo ran up stairs with her stuff while Souji entered the kitchen.
Souji's phone began to ring, and he turned pale when looked at the ID, seeing unknown caller and name. Souji decided to answer it and not let Momo suspect something was wrong.
"Hello…." Souji said his voice barely above a whisper.
"Don't bother keeping quiet Souji I know where you are. Just wanted to say enjoy your night with her cause you may not get another shot at the carnal passions of the flesh. Sweet dreams." The mysterious voice said laughing as the line went dead.
Souji heard a crashing noise followed by a scream from upstairs. Not wasting any time Souji quickly ran up stairs leaving his cell phone behind.
