Guys, I could cry. Thanks Hoshiro Kamui 217 for that AWESOME review. I never had such a review that would actually help me to go on. THANKS MAN! (or woman?)

I do not own persona.

Chapter 2 School days

*piep* *piep* *piep* BOOM

Whoever invented alarm clocks, Nyx would find his or her soul and bring great torture towards its owner. Yesterday had almost ended in disaster, because she acted hastily. Good that Minato had been able to save the situation. Why did she act do fast, you may ask? Because Minato was (at the moment) the only one, who knew her true identity, so she needed him for now.

*knock* *knock* "Nyxie! Wakey, wakey!"

'Nyxie?! Did she just call me that!?'

Minako opened the door and jumped on Nyx' bed. "Come on, get up! Today is the first day of school! And-pfff hahahahahaha!"

"What's so funny?"

"Pfff, your hair! Oh god, look in the mirror!"

Said and done.

'I look like Erebus...with four heads.' she sighed. After Minako left her room (pestering her brother) Nyx made herself ready. Or rather tried. 'What is with these clothes?!'

With Minato

I was finished changing, when Minako stormed into my room.

"Wow, you're awake." She then noticed the dark rings under his eyes. "Nightmares again?" she asked. He barely nodded. For him it wasn't again but he had one last night. He couldn't remember everything, but he knew Minako and Nyx were involved. Minako hugged her brother. He hugged back.

"Is Nyx, awake?"

"Yup! You should've seen her hair. Hilarious."

'Maybe I should risk...NO! I didn't came back to life, in order to die in a split-second.'

They were on the way downstairs, when they met Nyx. Her clothes messed up and her hair? Minato went to the bathroom, because he was sure if Nyx saw him laughing, he'd be dammed in the afterlife Minako didn't try to hide her amusement and decided to help her.

'At least she can use cutlery now. Not to mention doors. Jeez that accident must've left some kind of amnesia. Docs these days. Can't even rely on them.'

Minako helped Nyx with her uniform. Downstairs, they met Minato and Yukari, who was a bit wary of Nyx. Nyx refused to apologize, even if it was a 'misunderstanding'. After breakfast they went to school.

"We've to take the train from here on. I bet your last school wasn't like that."

"Not really." replied Minako. "We still had a train, but we didn't use it to rid over the ocean. Wow, look at that!" she pointed outside the window.

"This is my favorite part." explained Yukari. Minato nodded and Nyx kept staring outside.

"Hello~! Earth on Nyx. We're there~!"

'If she only knew.' thought Minato. He was sure his sister wouldn't act like that, if she knew she was talking to a goddess.

Nyx frowned and got up. 'One day, one day...'

Nyx POV

"Welcome to Gekkougan High. I hope you'll like it here." said Yukari. "Yukari-san, from what I heard so far, schools are places of torture and pain." At least it sounded like that, when Minato explained to her, what a school was. "HUH!? W-well..." "Umm, Yukari-chan?" Minako took Takeba with her a few yards away. She began talking to her and after they finished Takeba gave me a pitiful glance. I shrugged it off and looked around. There were cherry trees planted every few meters. Because it was spring, the trees were blooming. The scent of flowers was in the air. And it looked quite beautiful. A total contrast to what I was used to. Darkness and the smell of blood. Though that had his own touch.

?

"Minato, why is everyone staring at us with perverted eyes?"

Minato POV

Nyx spoke it out a loud, so some students could hear her. Oh boy, maybe I should've thought about that for at least a second, before...nah, I would've done it anyway. For Minako, I'd go through hell, like Orpheus.

"I guess they're...quite attracted by your beauty."

"So, they want to have sexual exchange?"

Oh. My. God.

"To put it blunt"

"Disgusting." I was glad, Nyx anger wasn't directed at me. Still, I could feel her terrifying aura.

"Anger management, Nyx. Just ignore them. It'll go better over the year (I hope). That's at least my experience."

"Huh?" she gave me a curious look. I sighed.

"After the accident ten years ago, I acted like a zombie. I didn't want to have any friends. To be honest, I simply waited for death. One could say I waited for you to come down and pierce me with you sword." I chuckled at my dry joke. Nyx was confused. "You wanted to die?"

"Yeah, but then I met my friends in SEES and...things changed. It's hard to explain, you better experience it for yourself."

"That's what I'm here for." She nodded to herself. "Ah, Minato? I need a new alarm clock."

"Why?"

"I used megido at the last one."

Wow...~

General POV

The three new students parted ways with Yukari. Since the bulletin board was overwhelmed with students, they headed straight to the faculty office.

"What did you talk about Yukari?" Minato whispered into Minako's ear.

"I told her about the accident, Nyx had last week." Minako whispered back.

'Accident? Last week? Time travel sure is confusing.' he thought. 'Maybe Igor has some answers. But I guess I can't go to the Velvet Room just yet. Maybe I'll dream about it tonight, like last time?'

Inside the office

"Oh are you the new transfer students? Minako Arisato, Minato Arisato and Nyx Nikitidis, right?" (NOTE: Since Nyx is a being from Greek mythology, I gave her a Greek pastname. I randomly searched in the Internet, didn't look for anything special. It's a common name. In this story she was born in Europe, Greek (duh =[) and her 'parents' (be patient readers, all shall be revealed ;) )transferred to Japan, when she was young (2200 years?) Anyways, just some background I needed. On with the story)

"Wow, you lived in a lot of place. Let's see in 1999...that was 10 years ago? Your parents *gasp*!"

Minako looked down. Minato hold his expression, but felt a bit down himself. The only one unaffected was Nyx. She had crossed her arms and looked bored around the faculty office.

'I need to ask Minato about all those things (PCs, scanners and so on) later.'

Minako POV

"I'm sorry, I didn't had time to read through the files."

'Oh, COME ON! At least think of a new excuse. Well, at least she seems to mean it.'

"I'm Ms. Toriumi. I teach composition."

"It's a pleasure to meet you." They said and bowed in union. After a few more exchanges, we had a boooooooooooooooring morning assembly. She regretted it, not to charge her mp3. Nyx didn't had one. So Minato was the only one who could shut down.

"Class these are Minako and Minato Arisato and Nyx Nikitidis."

Let's do a little skip here.

During class Minato fell asleep. Nyx was barely able to stay awake. Though she was so tired (or bored) that she didn't notice the glances several classmates would give her. I listened a bit to the gossip. I heard something about 'polar opposites', 'Nyx a beauty', someone wanted to rape her (good luck, the last guy is still in hospital; by the way why don't I remember it so clearly?) a few more called Nyxie a beauty, some a goddess, me and onii-chan her what? And what's that about me and nii-chan being married? This school sure loves rumors.

During break, some guys wanted to ask Nyx out. However, she got walked away, said she wanted to look around. I myself went downstairs and bought me and Minato some (ok the whole stock) melon bread. On the way back, I saw a male student laying on the ground. He didn't move. I sighed. "We seriously have to do something against your anti-social behavior." Nyx looked up.

Nyx POV

I know now why Minato thinks school is annoying. All those perverted looks were annoying enough, but then there were the perverts who actually talked to you in a pervert way. I still have my pried as a goddess. I shrugged Minako off and walked back to class. I sat down on my seat giving everyone a glare who dared to approach me. Minako was somehow immune. Figures she was the sister of the bearer of the universe. She spoke up: "Seriously, I know how annoying those guys are, but there are better ways dealing with them."

"What *yawn* happened?" Minato finally woke up. His sister turned towards him. "Nyx beat down a pervert."

"Oh..." He slapped his hand on his face (as far as I'm concerned Nyx doesn't know the word face/palm).

He looked at me with a "What do I do with you?" face. I noticed several girls staring at me. Jealousy? Is he attractive?

"Are they staring at me because of him?" I asked aloud. "Huh?" I pointed at several girls.

"Ooooohh, onii-chan, looks like you've quite the attention." He simply sighed, muttering something about 'fangirls'.

"What are fangirls?" Again the two gave me a look. What? I asked a normal question.

"Fangirls are girls who're attracted to a certain boy." he explained. "They tend to act...violently to all who're not in their club."

"Club?"

He sighed. "A group of people who meet on a regular basis for a certain topic."

"Like you." Minako laughed. "Yeah, like you nii-chan."

Class continued. I had a hard time on staying awake. Not to mention Minato was asleep. If school is this important, why was he sleeping? Ah, yes. Time travel. He already heard all of it. Satisfied with my answer I continued listening, though I had a hard time understanding how school would help me achieving my goal.

Finally classes ended. The teacher said normal lectures would start tomorrow. I wondered if it would be better.

"Sup dudes?"

?

Ah yes. He's been there too.

General POV

"Hey, how's it going?" replied Minako.

"Hehe, pretty good. By the way, my name's Junpei Iori. Nice to meet ya."

"*sigh* At it again? I swear, you hit on any girl you see."

"Oh hey, it's Yuka-tan. I didn't thought we'd be in the same class again."

"So you two are friends." stated the death goddess.

"Huh? Ummm well sort of..." she trailed off. Nyx titled her head.

"Anyways, I heard you four came to school together. So what's going on? Come on, give me the dirt."

"What? Listen we-"

"We live at the same dorm, that's all." interrupted Minato. "Yukari-san was so nice to show us the way to school."

Nyx merely nodded.

"Hey, you three didn't say anything about...last night?" The twins face/palmed at the same time.

"You mean when I laid you on the ground, while-"

"W-WHAT?!" Nyx was cut off by Junpei.

"She pointed a-"

"Th-that's enough. Listen...you better don't start any rumors Stupei! It's...arrgh, I need to go to archery club." With that she almost rushed out of the classroom. Junpei stared at Nyx.

"It's rude to stare at others." she pointed out. Minako decided it was enough. She grabbed Nyx arm. "A-anyways. It was nice to meet you Junpei-kun, but we have to go now. See you tomorrow."

Minako POV

Nyxie, must have hit her head VERY hard. Good thing nii-chan is such a genious( despite his sleeping habits). I'd have trouble explaining to her when to say something and when not. In the end she muttered something about strange human habits.

"You're saying this, as if you're not human."

...

Oh come on, I know it was not a good one, but what's with this awkward silence? Ah, finally the dorm.

"Oh, there they're!"

"So these are our new guests." said a well suited man. Onii-chan tensed up all of the sudden and excused himself. Before he went to his room he whispered something into Nyxie's ear. 'Oooooooooooh, you're not planning anything dirty, are you Minato?'

"Good evening. My name is Shuji Ikutsuki, the chairman (right spelled? hell too lazy to check up today). Hard to say isn't it. That's why I hate introducing myself."

I nodded. "I'm Minako Arisato and this is Nyx Nikitidis. Not as hard as your name, still, everyone just calls her Nyx. Why're you here Mr. Chairman?"

"To introduce myself of course. Is there anything you want to ask?"

I shook my head and so did Nyx. She yawned. "Oh, you two must be still tired from the trip. You better go bed early. You know what they say, the early bird catches the bookworm. Please forgive the bad pun."

"*sigh* You'll get used to his lame jokes."

"Now if you'll excuse me." he left. Nyx and I headed upstairs.

"So what is going on between you and nii-chan?" I teased.

"Huh? Oh right. He wants to talk to me in private. He sounded urgent." Oh god she said it in such a common way, I had a hard time to suppress my laughter.

"Well, good luck. And be patient." she gave me a weird look, but I waved my hand off and returned to my room. 'Nyxie and nii-chan...I wonder...'

Oh, well I better stop here, I need to think some things through. ESPECIALLY the awakening part, which will come next chapter. I'm still not sure about Nyx. I've multiple thoughts. Let her have her powers, give her Thanatos or the wild card. That gives me an idea about social links. Speaking of social, of course Minako got the wrong idea, when Minato whispered into Nyx ear. Oh boy...
