Persona 4: College
Awaken
It's been a couple of days as Yu settles down in his new life here at YasoInaba and the school life. He managed to make a lot of friends in a short period of time and some of the girls in his class find him very mysterious as he only talks to Yosuke , after getting a trashcan off of him, Yukiko and Chie due to being in most of each others classes.
4/19th, Junes
Yu thought that since his uncle was gonna work was gonna be home late, he decided to get dinner for him and his cousin Nanako. There was some good sushi and some seafood on the go for them to eat tonight. He got some ebi nigiri, Amaebi, and other delicious sushi. While he was there, he ran into Yosuke and Chie eating some steak that Yosuke owed Chie for cracking her favorite movie.
"Hey guys, what you all doing here?" Yu asks to two.
"Well, I owe Chie for breaking/cracking her dvd and I didn't have enough for the grilled steak that she wanted so I decided to give her the next best thing." Yosuke explained to him as Yu took a seat.
"Well it still isn't grilled steak..." Chie mumbled as she began to dig into her food, for some reason Yosuke felt depress about what had happen to their senpai, Saki Konishi.
Flashback
4/13-18
4/13
Yu was still pretty new to YasoInaba compare to Yosuke, who also transferred due to his parents job at Junes going from the big city to a quiet town. Chie was mostly the one to show Yu around the town, giving him a small history lesson about the town as she was born and raised. Yu asked questions about her as she was happily to answer.
The two were waiting for Yosuke at the entrance of Junes so they can explore the town together, but they end up seeing Yosuke talking to one of the girls at Junes, their senpai Saki Konishi.
"Come on, even you need a break once in awhile. I got these tickets so you can have the day off." Yosuke tries to persuade her into taking a day off of work.
"Thanks but I don't know Hana-chan. I mean with Junes taking most of the customers of the shopping district, I need the money for my family." Saki said, as Yosuke shook his head
"Don't worry, you'll still get paid even with a day off Saki-senpai. Look, you seem stress from work and all so I thought of a way for you to get some rest and all." Yosuke half smiled.
Chie and Yu continue to look, Chie smirked as she got something to joke around Yosuke while Yu was confuse on the situation between them.
"Whos she?" Yu asks Chie.
"She's Saki Konishi, our senpai. She's the local daughter of the shopping district where her family works at the liquor store that her family owns." Chie explain but still leaves Yu confuse. "Yosuke has a thing about her."
"You mean, he has a crush on her? Is she going to be his girlfriend" Yu asks, raising his eyebrow.
"Yup and no. He does have a crush on her as she was the 1st one couple months ago to talk to the new guy and no she isn't his girlfriend as he "Wants" to be." Chie explained again as Yu started to picture the idea of Yosuke and their senpai.
"Hey didn't Saki didn't come to school today? we would usually see her with her friends on the stairs that lead to the roof." Yu asks her.
"Probably, I bet she's stress out cause of her family since they tend to do that. But let's just leave them be." Chie said as Yu nods and they soon leave the area.
Later that Night
Yu and Nanako were watching the news in their living room while having some leftovers from last night.
The news were covering about the person who called the police.
"Excuse me ma'am, have you seen the body during the day?" A reporter asks the woman who appears to be 19-20 years old, dirty blonde hair but couldn't get a clear picture of her face due to a pixilated and voice modification so no one could tell who she was.
"Yeah, I...I got out of school early and I saw it." She said.
"Did you get a clear view of the murder? Did you see anything else?" Another report asks but she couldn't answer more as other reporters started to question her. The segment ends as it goes back to the announcers.
"The girl who was at the sightings is a college sophomore student at a local college campus, YasoInaba College. Even though its a small campus compare to the other college campuses in the city, it is rank as one of the best even with a professor that everyone hates." A announcer with black hair said as Yu thought it might have to do something with what Igor said when he first got here. He remembers about a rumor that on a rainy night like this on Midnight, the TV will turn on and your soulmate will appear.
At Midnight
Yu put Nanako to sleep as he was doing some homework for his classes until Midnight came. Yu put his homework away and waited for the television to turn on itself. He waited for about 5 minutes and he though that it was just a false rumor until the TV suddenly turn on with yellowish screen. He sees what appears to be a girl around his age being attack by a unknown person, appears to be young man in his early to mid 20's.
'I am Thou...Thou art I...Thou art the one to open this door...' a voice said in Yu head as he starts feeling a headache is happening. He puts his left on the Tv but suddenly his hand starts to get sucked into the Tv and his upper body gets sucked into the Tv but Yu pulled himself out of his Tv but he ends up hitting his head on the table.
"Are you ok?" Nanako said as she was awaked by the noise.
"Yeah I'm fine. Did I wake you?" He asks his cousin while rubbing the back of his head.
"I heard a really loud noise...well goodnight." Nanako said as she goes back to bed. Yu thought that this indeed has something to a future catastrophe that Igor told him and he goes to bed.
4/14
School was as usual as it is, Yu helped Yosuke out of a trash can after crashing into it with his old bike. They had a small talk as Yosuke forgot that they have a huge get-to-know-each other event in school as he offers Yu a ride on his crappy bike, Yu sweat drops at the idea.
They managed to get to school on time but they didn't see Yukiko with Chie. Yosuke had something to take care of and left Yu.
"Hey Chie, Where's Yukiko? Thought that she was with you?" Yu asks her.
"She's gonna be late since the Inn is super busy, the campus were inform when I told them so their fine with it." Chie explained.
"Oh..but hey you know Yosuke's acting weird today right? It seems he was in a hurry for something." Yu asks hers again.
"Yeah...but he probably waiting for Saki-senpai." Chie told him as the announcer came online.
"Excuse me, pardon the interruption but would the entire school student please come to the school auditorium." The P.A said as the students began to talk out loud, wondering about the announcement.
The school auditorium's was located on the 1st floor of the 3rd building that was built for the drama department. The students both freshmen and seniors bummed into each other as it was a long narrow passageway to the auditorium.
After about 10 minutes to get settled, Chie and Yu see Yosuke on his phone, looking as if he's waiting for a reply. They asked where he was again but Yosuke told him from what Chie said earlier.
"Everyone, please settle down. The principle has a few words to say." , a history (Junkie) professor said as the principle walked slowly due to his old age, came to the podium.
"I...I regret to say but something terrible announcement for all of you." The principle said as some of the students began to murmur quietly.
"One of your sophomore students, Miss Saki Konishi of class 3...has passed away. The police have found her body, hanging on a antenna like the female announcer, Mayumi Yamano. No details on her death but if any of you young ones have any information, please inform the police as it would help them and her family. That is all." The principle said as most of the students were asking regarding the announcement a few moments ago.
Yosuke looked down as Chie and Yu noticed this as they walked with him to his locker. "Hey, you ok Yosuke?" Chie asks him but Yosuke gets his stuff for Junes and leaves.
"Guess this was a big thing for him..." Yu said as both him and Chie looked at a now depressed Yosuke and they follow him to Junes and try to cheer him up.
Junes, 3:45 PM, Television Department
It's ok guys, I'm fine. Really." Yosuke tries to get the guys off of his back.
"Come on Yosuke, we know that Saki's death has to be big in your head." Chie said, trying cheer him up.
"I know. But I want to not think about it." Yosuke said as he sets up the flat screen TVs prices on the side.
"Well, how about hooking me up with a new TV, my parents were thinking of getting one." Chie asks happily as Yosuke sees Chie's smile.
"Well Miss, I happen to have a selection of TVs here on display." Yosuke professionally mocked his sales voice as him and Chie looked at different flat screen HD TVs. Yu looks at the big Flat screen TV in-front of him as he touches the screen, getting a white circle around. Yu then puts his upper body and looks deeper in, "That's not cheap!" Chie said as Yosuke sweat dropped.
"Maybe I should had asked you on your word for "Cheap" then." Yosuke said as he turns his head back to Yu, "Hey Yu, you..."Yosuke stopped as he sees his friend inside the TV.
"Huh? What's up?" Chie asks Yosuke. She looks at him then looks at Yu and is bewildered on Yu as he was literally inside the TV.
"Dude if this is a magic trick, this is some trick bro." Yosuke said, still stunned.
"Not really. It's a empty space here and really spacious." Yu told them, causing them to get scared as their friend tells them.
"Ah man, My bladder is gonna explode!" Yosuke said as he runs around, Chie caught him, trying to relax him but Chie slipped. Causing them to hit Yu on his butt and getting sucked into the TV.
Inside the TV
The Three landed awkwardly with Yosuke landing on his ass with his wallet in his back pocket and both Chie and Yu landed on their backs and rolling on their fronts.
"You guys ok?" Chie asks them as they all get up, rubbing their backs from the fall.
"Yeah...I landed on my wallet." Yosuke said, rubbing his lower back.
"I'm good." Yu said also rubbing his back. "Where are we?" He asks.
"I don't know, but are we seriously inside the TV?" Chie said nervously as she looks around the place, hoping to find a exit.
The boys looked around as well but to no avail as Yu told them that they need to find a exit, Chie was scared about the idea but Yosuke nodded as all went together for a exit.
An hour or so
The three continue to wonder around as they found a room in this dense fog thanks to Yosuke as he had to run so he can take a piss.
"Jeez Yosuke did you really need to take a piss?" Chie said somewhat argued about it.
"I can't help if I need to take a piss." Yosuke yelled back as the two got into a argument.
The two we arguing for about 20 minutes before it started to die down as Yu asks about a poster that seem familiar some how.
"Yeah, I've seen it somewhere." Yosuke said as they all heard a weird walking coming from the walkway they came in. They walked outside to see a teddy bear with a red and white strip like suit with a zipper that goes around his neck, blue fur with a white face.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!" both Chie and Yosuke yelled.
"THATS WHAT I WANT TO KNOW!" the bear yelled back as this cause the guys to be nervous now. "Why are you here it's dangerous." the bear said.
'Dangerous?' Yu thought as he felt something violent coming.
"The Shadow's are HERE!" the bear yelled as he runs away, dropping a pair of grey glasses. Yu picks it up as he can see clearly without the fog around. A black goo started to merge out of the corner and started to take shape as a purple and black strip, no eyes, red lips with a abnormal tongue and a mask on its back. The three ran for their lives as the creature split into three monster and pursue the young adults.
The three managed to escape the monsters and they took a break to regain their breath.
"What the hell?! What's with that monster?" Chie asked to fast ad breathing heavily.
"I don't know but that bear knows about it and probably this world but he left very quickly." Yu said as he too was trying to regain his breath also. They somehow meet the bear again.
"How did you three get away from them?" the bear asks them.
"We ran for our lives, thank you very much!" Yosuke yelled causing the 3 monsters to spot them and attacked them, Yu heard another voice in his head.
'I am Thou...Thou art I...the time has come...open thy eyes and call forth what is with in' The voice said as a card appeared in Yu's hand. He turns to see a blank face and it suddenly flashes with a bright light and Yu for some reason smiles.
"Per...So...Na." he muttered as the card bursted into a blue flame and goes around Yu's body as he screams...Chie, Yosuke and the bear look as Yu looked different. A open black coat, black long pants and heeled-like clogs with a bizarre mask that was open, they see Yu's face before he closes the mask. Yu's eyes began to turn yellow and he started his assault on the monsters, side swiping 2 monster before he gathered electricity around his hand. "ZIO!" Yu said as a blast of electricity came out and destroyed the monster. Yu's outer self dissolved back into a blue flame and Yu fell on the floor, unbuttoning his school uniform as he started to get hot.
Yu heard another voice in his head, "Looks like you found your purpose as you called forth your Persona: Izanagi. Based on your Japanese deity or God. As time goes on, you'll figure out another purpose in your path." He heard Margaret in his head as Yu lost consciousness, Yosuke and Chie grabbed Yu, wondering what power Yu just unleashed and the bear began to wonder about this young man.
