Hey everyone! Been working on my series in a turn order so sorry if it took a while. I've also had a busy busy summer and in college now haha. Anyway! Please read and review! Remember this IS PART of the Enter the Darkness series now! So go read the other ones too! Thank you all!

2 Days Later… Saturday, April 1... Iwatodai… Evening… Full Moon…

The door to the house opened, with Yuko lugging in her bags.

"Mom!" she shouted "Dad! I'm here as planned!"

She walked over to the table, on it was a note stating her parents would be home late because of date night. She sighed and scratched her head.

That's right… it's Saturday.

She sighed and brought her stuff up to her bedroom. It was just the way she had left it. Yuko put her stuff down and sat on the bed and plopped down, looking up to the ceiling, just remembering everything.

The day she and Minato first met, their first date, how often she bought food for her. Even their first kiss. Yuko looked over to a photo that she had purposely left face down on her dresser when she left. It was a photo she'd cherish forever. The photo was of she and Minato right after her race that he pushed her for. Only a few weeks of training and and a lot of practice, the result was a first place medal. That's when the picture was taken. She was holding the medal while he kissed her.

Yuko didn't need that picture, she remembered it as if it were just a few hours ago. Sighing she jumped up.

No! No more dwelling! Oh wait I know!

Quickly she got out her phone dialing a number, waiting while it rang.

"Hello?" came a slightly quiet female voice on the other end.

"Chihiro! It's Yuko!"

"Oh! Hello Yuko-chan. How have you been?"

"I've been good. I'm actually in town right now and was wondering if you wanted to hang out later on Chihiro-chan"

"Um, sure. I'm working in the library at the school so I won't be out until after ten though. I had to catch up on work I didn't do yesterday."

"I'll wait. See you then!"

She hung the phone up and ran back outside, calling a taxi. It was funny really. Yuko didn't really know Chihiro until a few days after she and Minato started dating. After that they had gotten into an argument about who was dating who. Minato cleared it up though. Chihiro seemed down though, so instead of boasting in her face Yuko decided to take her to the bookstore and buy her anything she wanted as an apology. After that they became great friends. They even cried when Yuko left for college.

That was all behind them now. Tonight was a new night after all.

Night… Paulownia Mall Coffee Shop… Full Moon

The aroma strong aroma of coffee filled the shop, even though it had been past eleven already. Even at this time of night it's business was bustling with business, though Chihiro and Yuko were on a table in the corner

For over an hour they reminisced about their high school year, purposely avoiding the topic on "him." They talked about the athletics, the club, even the boys they had tried to go out with for a little while.

Yuko sipped her coffee. "So the library there now huh?"

Chihiro nodded and smiled. "I couldn't help it. I loved the school."

"Didn't you become the class president?"

"Yes I did. Though I was a clumsy one." Chihiro fiddled with her cup. "I tended to forget things a lot and most of the time I had to get help with my speeches."

"Who helped you?"

"Kirijo-senpai."

"No way!"

"Remember though her family runs the school so she keeps close tabs on it at all times. I was blessed to have a friend in her."

Yuko looked at her phone, she had a missed call from her parents. "Oh! Hey Chihiro-chan maybe we should leave. It's a quarter till."

She nodded. "Yes."

They stood, put the mug on the dishwasher rotisserie and walked out, laughing the whole way back. Chihiro didn't really live that far from the mall, in fact she lived about ten minutes out and they were there in no time.

Yuko walked her up to the door and sighed, needing to get something off her chest. "Hey, Chihiro, do you remember Minato-kun?" she finally asked.

Chihiro fixed her glasses and tilted her head. "Minato? Who?"

Yuko got wide eyed, then smiled. "No seriously Chihiro-chan, Minato. Remember? We fought over him for a couple of weeks."

The young woman shook her head. "I'm sorry Yuko-chan I don't. Are you sure you're not making him up? Maybe that was in a dream."

Yuko's eyes went blank. Chihiro couldn't remember? That wasn't possible. How could anyone not remember Minato? He was a member of the Extracurricular group. He helped with student council. He even went on and beat the school's rivals in the swimming competition. Minato was a big deal until he suddenly disappeared from the school after his first year. Nobody talked about him, but Yuko thought it was just out of sorrow. He was revered in the entire school. He was almost as popular as Mitsuru Kirijo. So how could she not remember? Worst part was, Yuko could tell she was serious.

Chihiro held onto her hand. "Yuko-chan," she said softly. "Are you alright? Your getting pale. Would you like to come in?"

Yuko shook her head. "N-no. I'm alright. Go get some rest Chihiro. I'll talk to you later alright?"

"Oh… well alright. Go home. You get some rest too. I hope for better dreams."

She shut the door, and Yuko left walking the hallway of the apartment building slowly. Was it possible? Was Minato really just a dream? An imagination? Now that she thought about it her parents didn't remember him either. A few days after she disappeared they went to her room and looked at the picture. Her dad asked who he was and why they never met despite the fact that she brought Minato home almost every other day. Her parents nearly broke down her door because it was closed and they thought she and Minato were doing something they weren't supposed to. It was hilarious when they realized they were wrong. Yuko laughed so hard she fell back into Minato's lap while Minato was merely chuckling.

The was the thing with him. That's what made him so likeable, so cool. Minato was like everyone else. He laughed, he cried, he loved. However he rarely showed it. Half the time he was stoic. He was a man of few words, and when he did talk he had an impact only an Kirijo could offer. Of course he had his best friends too. He even lived in a dorm with all of them. Mitsuru, Akihiko, Junpei, Yukari, and a girl named Fuuka. Yuko remembered all of them, she even met all of them.

Yet another thing that made him cool. From the beginning he had gotten in with all the popular kids. Regardless though he never boasted about it. None of them did. Every single one of them helped the little guy out. Yuko remembered this most of all. There was no way it was a dream. She remembers feeling, touching.

There was also another girl that disappeared though that was with them, though Yuko couldn't remember much about her. Maybe she was the dream. A brown haired girl with shining pink eyes. Yuko could only remember bits and pieces of her history. She was very attractive though, possibly more attractive that Yukari and Mitsuru put together.

Yuko began biting her nails a tiny bit trying to think about all of it. Without warning the power in the building went out. She stopped and looked around.

"Great."

She took out her phone pushed the screen to turn on, but to no avail. She tried powering it on, but the phone wouldn't do that either. Scratching her head she walked out looking around. The street lights, as well as lights from the buildings were all out. She got a little frightened as she slowly walked down the side walk. It was eerie, and the moon in the sky, a lot bigger than normal, didn't help the situation. It gave her enough light to see About half a football fields length away. She wasn't paying attention as she bumped into something hard, falling down on her butt.

"Ow… sorry about…"

She looked up and got wide eyed and frightened, she bumped into a coffin. A coffin that was standing up right. She looked around realizing the entire city squar block had been surrounded by coffins. She wanted to scream, but couldn't. She was too stunned.

"W…what is this? Some kind of sick joke? What's going on!?"

There was a sound that seemed like a mix between a sharp squeal and a screech. It was inhuman, and the sound began getting closer, she squinted and could see something in the distance. It looked like a black blob. It got closer, until she could see a blue mask. She crawled back, trying to back away from it. The blob stopped, and so did she.

Shaking, Yuko stood up, but didn't stop backing away. She stopped for a second and turned, grabbing a crowbar. She blob began getting closer again.

"Stay back…" she whispered, but it get closer.

"Stay away…"

No avail. The black blob began inching closer and closer, faster and faster.

"I SAID STAY AWAY!"

She charged it full speed, swinging the crowbar, finally hitting it in the mask, cracking it a little. She breathed hard, a cold sweat beading her forehead. The blob fell to the ground.

"Stay down you creepy little thing."

However it didn't, the blob jumped up grabbing the crowbar, absorbing it into it's body, Yuko let it go and jumped back, watching as the blob slowly grew and it split in to several pure black hands, one holding the mask, swords being held by the others.

Yuko fell back, her eyes wide in fear. She began to tear up. The blob charged her squeeling. She grabbed her head and screamed, "SOMEBODY HELP ME!"

Expecting to feel excruciating pain, she heard the sound of the blob screech sharply, a loud ching then a thump. She opened her eyes looking up, a hand on the ground in front of her wobbled, then disappeared, in front of that was someone wearing a tattered up cloak, the hood down. It was a guy holding an oversized blade.

"Hey," he said softly but sternly. "You alright?"

She nodded and noticed a red band on his left arm, it read "S.E.E.S." The guy looked over at her, jet black hair covering half of the left side of his face. "Good," he said, "Stay behind me and you won't get hurt."

Yuko nodded standing up. A sword? In this day and age? Monsters?

What's going on!?
