Dark Starlight

Chapter 2

Kuro-Hoshimi

"Oh dear, sorry but she doesn't want you people at our party." my look alike said with a sneer. "I don't think even she is that desperate for friends."

I looked over the monsters that had stopped looking towards me to see the three from earlier. Seeing some familiar faces snapped me out of my panic attack, despite the creepy creatures were still only a few feet away from me.

"What the?" I said. "You guys? How did you get here? How did I get here? Whats going on?!...Who are you?"

"I'm Teddie!" the stuffed bear thing said. "Nice to meet you Fumi-chan."

...I didn't like him immediately.

"Get away from her, Hamasaki!" Satonaka yelled.

I got to my feet only to suddenly feel my look alike wrap her arms around me from behind.

"Like hell she's getting away." she said with a sneer. "It isn't polite for people who weren't even invited to the party to start making demands."

"Let go of me!" I yelled trying to break free but her grip was like iron. She looked like me, but she was way stronger.

"Hmm, let me think about-NO! If I let you go then you really won't have anyone. If you lose yourself then you really have nothing. You can't get away from me, no matter how hard you try."

"Just hold on Hamasaki!" Hanamura yelled. "Persona!"

From behind the wall of boogeymen( yes, I called them boogeymen because just saying monster didn't suit them justice) I saw a flash of light. There were two more flashes of light and then I saw these things attacking the boogeymen.

One was a muscled woman wearing a yellow jumpsuit and an odd helmet and wielded a double bladed spear of some kind.

Another was distinctly male who had a mask covering his face and appeared to be wearing a jacket and he had a spear as well, only it had only one blade that looked more solid than the one the woman in yellow was wielding.

The last one was a man who wore a white suit with camo on the sleeves and legs and a red cape. He had a shuriken in each hand and had two shuriken on his face. Aside from the shuriken his face was completely black but he had red slits on his ears that could have been eyes.

"They hell is this?" I said as I felt myself get sick again. There was fog everywhere and it felt like it was suffocating me, strangling me.

"Well let's just leave them be. They won't last long. Maybe some decent people will actually show up!" the girls voice was sickening with how cheary she was.

"Just kidding." she said suddenly sounding annoyed. "No one ever wants to hang out with me. I guess I'm just that pathetic. Wouldn't you agree?"

"Let go of me!" I yelled trying once again to break free from her.

"I already told you I'm not letting go."

"Please, I just want to go home!" I said trying not to cry.

"Hamasaki!" someone yelled, but I couldn't tell who. Despite the fact the DJ stand was still empty really loud music was playing now. I couldn't make out the song though, but I could tell it sounded bitter, angry.

I tried once again to get away but the girl just started to drag me away from the chaos that was unfolding. Her grip tightened, and with the fog that continued to blind my vision and smother me, breathing was almost impossible.

"Hamasaki!" Satonaka yelled.

I focused my vision to see Satonaka and the others run up to me.

"Let go of Fumi-chan!" Teddie yelled.

"Are you ok?!" Hanamura asked.

I opened my mouth to respond but the girl tightened her grip to prevent my words.

"How would anyone be ok? After what you guys did, you're just a bunch of jackasses.

"What?" Hanamura asked. "What did we do?"

"Did you expect anyone to believe that some high schoolers would know who would be kidnapped next? What a bunch of crap. Being picked on again isn't fun."

"But we didn't lie to you Hamasaki-chan!" Satonaka yelled. "Being here is proof we weren't lying to you!"

"Why would you think we were lying?!" Hanamura yelled.

"Just as her shadow said." Narukami said. "She must have been bullied and picked on before."

I felt my face grow hot in embarrassment. The music had changed now, although it was still hard to make out, it had now changed to a sad tone.

"One of you finally gets it."

"I don't care if you guys pick on me. It doesn't matter." I said, trying to keep my voice steady.

"Great, more shit coming out of your mouth." the girl sneered. "I already told you how annoying and pathetic you are when you act like this. Just accept it! Admit how pathetic and lonely you are!"

"I'm not!" I yelled finally getting out of her grip. "I don't care! I don't need anyone!"

"Yes you do! I know you! I am you!"

"No!"

"Hamasaki!" Hanamura yelled. "Stop it!"

"Is he talking to you or me? It's hard to tell."

"Just shut up!" I said. "Let me go home!"

"Stop saying you want to leave! No one is leaving! I don't care who it is anymore! Just someone stay with me!" the girl wailed loudly as I was shocked to see tears streaming down her cheeks. "I'm sick of always being alone!"

"Hamasaki…" Hanamura said.

"I'm going home! You aren't me!"

"No!" Narukami said.

Suddenly the fog seemed to drift away, but something else started to invade the room. There were suddenly long black shadows that seemed to flow right into the girl.

"Fine...then I'll make you stay!" she said as she glared at me angrily, her yellow eyes glowing with rage. "I won't be alone anymore!"

All the shadows enveloped and I was suddenly pushed back by an unseeable force. I landed on the DJ booth, and wires from the booth swarmed around me and wrapped me up. I couldn't move despite my struggles. This was really getting old.

I looked over at the girl only to find nothing there aside from the other three.

"Where'd she go?" Satonaka asked.

"Are you alright Hamasaki?!" Narukami yelled over at me.

"A little help would be nice!" I yelled darting my eyes everywhere, looking for the girl.

"Hold on, I'm coming!" Hanamura said.

"Me too!" Teddie yelled following Yosuke

I should have been relieved to hear that, but the idea of him coming over filled me with dread. I didn't want Hanamura to come near me, I didn't want any of them near me. Not after what they saw…

"Ahhh, what's wrong?" a voice said near my ear.

I quickly turned my head but there was no one there.

"Hamasaki?" Hanamura asked as he got to me.

"We'll get you out Fumi-chan!" Teddie said.

"Go away." the voice said again.

Suddenly Hanamura and Teddie were hit by an unseeable force and he went flying back to the others.

"What the heck?!" Satonaka yelled.

"It's invisible." Narukami stated.

As soon as Narukami was done talking he, as well as the others, were sent flying.

"Persona!" they all yelled. The figures from earlier appeared and caught them before they hit the ground.

They each got ready to fight but they still couldn't see her. Their Personas' got their weapons ready for the slightest inkling as to where she would be.

Teddie on the other hand kept flying and landed next to me.

"Hello again Fumi-chan!" Teddie said getting up and walking towards me. "I'll get you out. I bet this mess is just un-bear-able. Hehe."

'Great. It tells jokes too.'

The room was silent except for the music for a while until there was a strike of lightning sent at Hanamura's Persona.

"Look out!" Narukami yelled as his Persona got in the way of the blow.

His Persona blocked the attack but as soon as it did it was suddenly encased in ice.

"Narukami!" Satonaka yelled sending her Persona to break the ice.

Yosuke got ready to break the ice as well but his persona was hit from behind by another lightning strike.

Yosuke yelled as his Persona was hit from the attack and crumbled to his knees.

Satonaka's Persona was attacked from behind as well but not with ice or lightning. Instead I heard the sound of a blade slashing against her persona.

Satonaka yelled as she reached for her back as if she was hit instead.

"Chie…." Hanamura said.

"It's poison…" Satonaka said weakly.

"Damn it!" Yosuke yelled as he managed to stand.

He sent a blast of wind at the still frozen Persona of Narukami. The ice shattered and Narukami staggered to his feet.

"Thanks, it's hard to prepare for attacks you can't see." Narukami said.

"Hold on Chie." Hanamura said as his persona went to hers.

His Persona started to cast a green light on her but he was suddenly pushed back.

"No healing." the girl said from somewhere. "That's cheating."

"Damn it." Hanamura said feeling his chest. "How is poison or invisibility fair?"

Narukami's Persona got ready to fight but all i could do was look around aimlessly.

His Persona was hit from behind and Narukami immediately retaliated and attacked behind him. Instead of attacking the girl however all he hit was the stage, breaking it into pieces.

He was quickly attacked again as was once again frozen in place.

"Yu!" Satonaka yelled sending her Persona to break him free again.

I dashed my eyes around trying to find any sign of the girl when my eyes landed one some shifting rubble from behind Satonaka.

"She's behind you!" I yelled at Satonaka.

Her Persona quickly turned around and swung her weapon. I heard a yell as an invisible being crashed into the wall.

Hanamura broke Narukami out of the ice and they all got ready to fight again.

The girl began to be seeable and my mouth dropped at her now. She was much taller, at least as tall as everyone's Persona. She was wearing a dress now but it was all cut up and hanging off of her. Her hair was even more wild than before and she had two swords in her hands. Her skin was coal black and her mouth was gone but her eyes shined a deep purple that almost blended in with her face.

"I won't let you leave…" she said despite not having a mouth.

"Just watch us!" Hanamura yelled throwing his shuriken at her.

The shuriken not only hit her but once it did it released a blast of wind that sent her up in the air.

Satonaka's Persona jumped in the air and swung its' spear down on her and knocked her back to the ground.

"Listen Fumi-chan." Teddie said to me.

I looked over at him and he adopted a sad expression. "That shadow over there really is you, Fumi-chan. You have to accept it is a part of you, or it will just go bear-serk again."

"No, it isn't…" I said weakly, but I knew Teddie was right.

"When they beat it you have to accept it." Teddie said looking a bit more cheerful. "It's the only way."

"Alright…" I whispered.

Teddie smiled at me and got the last wire off of me.

I looked over to see the others standing around the girl who looked to beaten to get up again. Their Persona's vanished as Teddie and I walked towards them.

"Hamasaki, you alright?" Hanamura asked.

"Sorry, but you have to-" Narukami began but I raised my hand to silence them.

"Teddie already told me." I said looking down at Teddie. "Thanks."

"No problem Fumi-chan." Teddie said wiggling his ears at me.

I looked over at the thing that had claimed to be me...at what was me.

The dark shadows from earlier spilled out if her and now she was the same as she was earlier. She looked over at me but said nothing. Her expression was calm now, patient even.

"You're right." I said after a deep breath. "I hate being alone, even though I keep acting like I don't care...I really want to meet people. I really want to make friends with others and go to parties and be a more open person. I hated the kids that would pick on me when I was little. They thought it was so funny to get my hopes up and just make me sad again. So, i acted like I didn't care. I acted like you didn't exist.

The girl...no, my shadow, stood up and nodded.

"I won't ignore you anymore." I said. "I promise."

My shadow smiled at me and tears started to form in her eyes. "Let's make some good friends." she said as she was enveloped in light.

The light expanded and disappeared to reveal a tall slender woman with a veil over her mouth and she wore a long purple dress with a rapier at her side. She had long black hair and she had white eyes that, despite the fact half of her face was covered by a veil, seemed to smile at me. She faded away and a card took her place. A blank card that vanished as it fell towards me.

"Now you have a persona." Narukami said to me.

I turned around to see them all smiling at me.

I smiled back at them and said "Thank you." as i blacked out.

I hope you guys liked the chapter! Please review and tell me what you think! I will also have Fumiko share the fool arcana with Yu. The main reason being that all the other arcanas are taken and I want Fumiko to have a good impact in the events of persona 4. Thanks for reading and I hope to update soon.
