Yuki: Tasha doesn't own Persona, its characters or certain OCs that appear here.
Oh, I felt like doing 3rd person view just because~
Chapter 11: Memories, and a switch
The room was silent except for the continues sound of a keyboard being typed on rapidly. Yuki's face was illuminated dimly by her white laptop as she typed rapidly on the keyboard. She was not typing a story. In fact, she was researching about...
"Apathy Syndrome..." She said softly under her breath. She was angry at herself. She didn't know why. It had been only a few hours ago when she had been told the news.
"It's Daichi" Hikari had said "He's the same as the others who are unconscious"
Yuki had felt the tears choking her throat. She hated it. Why her partner? Sure they don't get along well, and they've only known each other for about a month, but she still considered Akihiko her sort of friend.
Now she was trying to find a way to cure him from this state. Before any more of her friends had it too.
Her eye kept closing slightly. She shook her head. Yuki was well aware of how late it was. In her head, she heard a voice from a memory of a year ago.
"Yuki you can't stay up too late" It was her cousin, Michiyo Nakashima.
Many people would say that she and Michiyo were sisters, or twins. But there were key differences to them. Michiyo had long, dark brown hair that would reach until her thighs. It was almost always in the loose ponytail that had seemed to become her signiture look. They dressed alike too. They even had the same dark green messenger bag, the same purple jacket, and the same sneakers. Even glasses. Although Michiyo wore her glasses more often then Yuki did.
"But if I go now, I won't be able to say bye later!" Yuki, only 13 years old then, clutched Michiyo's hand tightly.
"It'll only be for awhile" Michiyo said
"But it's not fair! Why do your parents fight all the time!" She hated the reason Michiyo was leaving
'If only they didn't fight' Yuki thought bitterly 'Michiyo wouldn't leave!'
She felt the choking sensation in her throat as Michiyo looked at her younger cousin sadly.
"It's ok Yuki," Michiyo held Yuki's hand in her own hands as their violet eyes met "I'll be back. I promise"
"You promise?" Yuki wiped away the tears falling from her eyes. Many promises made were usually broken. Few were actually fulfilled.
"I promise Yuki" Michiyo took out a chain bracelet. It was blue and purple, made simply by crochet. It was similar to the one Yuki already wore on her right wrist "Let's trade bracelets, that way I won't forget"
"Ok" The one Yuki wore was taken off her wrist, then traded for the one Michiyo held. Then as an afterthought, Yuki brought out a red-and-yellow-and-orange chain bracelet made with crochet thread instead of yarn.
"Keep this too" Yuki said
"Yuki I can't. You made it with the last crochet threads of that color" Yuki shook her head
"You won't forget this way"
So Michiyo had put it on. Then she put on a blue baseball cap.
"I'll be back Yuki I promise!" And she was gone.
Yuki jerked herself awake, her legs hitting the hard desk. She had fallen asleep.
'Why did I...' She thought to herself, confused. 'why did I dream of that day...'
Checking the time on her laptop, she realized she must've been asleep for a few minutes. Michiyo Nakashima. Her year older cousin. They were so alike. Only Michiyo was Shyer, more mature in a way.
Part of the reason why Yuki was ok with moving to Japan was because she thought of Michiyo. She believed that they'd find each other again. Somehow. But until now, they still haven't found eacch other.
Yuki closed her laptop, burying her face in her ice-cold hands. She thought of turning the heater on a little higher, then shrugged it off as she got off her chair. She went to bed and pulled her blanket around her, encasing herself in a sort of cocoon to warm herself better.
'I will help everyone' She thought to herself firmly 'No matter what!'
With that, she fell asleep.

Thursday, Early morning
Surprisingly, No one else was awake when Yuki came down. She looked around, surprised. Usually Naoki or Hei would be down here chatting or something. Yuki shrugged. It was fine for her to be alone every now and then.
The air was still cold from yesterday's rain. Yuki hugged her uniform's jacket closer to her body. She heard that it was Spring here but she wouldn't know as she never asked Naoki or anyone else when to switch to their other uniform.
She noticed a notebook that was abandoned on the street. She picked it up, looking on the cover. It was titled 'The World ends with you' by someone named Kei Yuita. She wondered if she should leave the notebook for the owner to find it, or look for him during Recess or Lunch. Remembering that it might rain again, she decided to put it in her bag. Although she wondered how she'd look for someone she doesn't know at all.
Blowing on her still-cold hands, she wished her hands were hot like it would usually be. Normally they'd be very hot, unless Yuki stays too long in the cold, like now.
Shivering slightly because of the cold, she headed to Aeon.

Recess
"Hey that's mine!" Someone yelled. Yuki almost dropped her books in surprise. She looked around and found a boy with black hair glaring at her. His black hair covered his right eye slightly and his hair reached until his neck.
"Um, what's yours?" Yuki asked innocently, wondering why he was glaring at her so fiercely. Then she realized that she had the notebook she had found earlier among her books. She pulled it carefully away from her books "Do you mean this notebook I found earlier?"
"Yes that so hand it over!" The boy barked at her.
'This must be Kei Yuita...' Yuki thought 'I better give it to him...'
"Um, here you go" She held it towards Kei, and he snatched it from her outstreched hand. She was glad she had found it but she wasn't sure what to do next.
"Thank you very much" Kei said gruffly.
"Um, your welcome?" Yuki wondered if that's how protective she is about the stories she writes. Kei looked at her suspisciously.
"You didn't happen to read it did ya?" Kei asked. Yuki shook her head as the bell rang. She tried to think of something to say but she could not think of anything so she just ran back to her classroom before she was late for her next class.
-.-.-.-.-
As Mr. Kuma taught about a battle between Nobunaga and Yoshimoto that took place during Sengoku Era, Yuki could hear one of her classmates whisper to her seatmate.
"Hey do you think the 'Demon King' is related to Nobunaga?"
"Who knows?" Her classmate shrugged "I'm pretty sure someone mentioned before though that it's rumored that he is related to that guy"
"Think we can ask him for help with History?" The guy she was talking to shivered.
"Don't risk it" He replied "You could try though, just make sure Anna's around"
"Why's that?"
"I heard that to calm him down you'd either have to ask Anna or kill him. Though killing that guy seems impossible"
They didn't continue their conversation since Mr. Kuma turned around to face the class again. Yuki made a mental note to ask Anna eventually if Narashino really is related to Nobunaga.
-.-.-.-
After School, Hospital
Yuki walked through the silent hospital nervously. She had heard that the students that went unconscious were moved here but now that she was actually here, she wasn't sure of what to do. She wanted to visit her friends and Akihiko but...
'Dammit! Why do I get the feeling that I have to go to the mirror world!' Yuki thought-yelled to herself 'Why do I feel like the answers are right there?'
Then a crazy idea formed into her head, her lips slowly turned in a sinister smile. She was afraid, that was for sure, but her Personality had switched again, and this particular personality doesn't think much, instead it was more of an act-before-you-think type.
Yuki went to one of the mirrors and went through it to the mirror world.
A/n: I'm done~ Wow, two chapters done in one day o . o
I'm planning on making all the OCs that you guys submitted appear ALOT. So Kei is welcome~
Ok, reading the Reviews Demon's Anarchy of Pride, Revolution of Hades, and KO make me laugh ALOT. No matter how many times I read it XD Who's using who's computer anyway?
Ah about the Star Arcana thing, it's fine. I don't really mind if there's more than one character with the same Arcana.
Oh, and just so you guys know, I'm 14. So I'm waaay younger than you guys XD
Ugh, I'm sticking with 1st person~ I forgot how hard it is to do 3rd person stories o . o
Oh, I almost forgot: Thanks to Phil the Persona Guy for the scene where Narashino was mentioned! Now to make more scenes where the OCs you guys own actually talks...
If you guys think I got Kei's Personality wrong just say so. I asked Elisabeth(Yosuke Hanamura) for help with his Personality and I looked around Persona Academy for more stuff~
Oh, and if ur wondering who Michiyo is she's an OC I submitted to a certain story~ I'm pretty sure if you guys follow Elisabeth's stories, you'd know which one~
Ok, I'm gonna spend a few days on CH12 before I post it. It's already in my head(part of it anyway) so I'll just type it down~
JL (my brother) says I should wait a few days before I post again, just to see how many reviews I got.
I feel like putting a preview of CH12 here~:
"Why are you here?"
"Wait is that... Akihiko's shadow?"
"Something just occured to me: Those students who are unconscious, They all use Evokers"
"Wait don't-!"
"Is it just me or does that sound alot like a memory?"
"I'm sorry! Don't go!"
Yeah those appeared in my head randomly o . o anyway, review please!
