Author's Notes: This fic was inspired by Gunslingers White Rose's Persona 4 fic Dual Destinies. The protagonist will be female. This fic takes place within the JoJo's Bizzare Adventure universe, Stands exist, and Personas are evolved forms of Stands. So they'll be able to use them outside of the TV world, but not right away, that'll be explained later on.

There will be other references to other series in this as well. This is my second time writing a fanfic. I wrote one years ago, but I didn't think the entire story through. Which is one mistake I don't want to make again. I hope you'll enjoy this fic, and I look forward to sharing this with you and sharing my OC's with you.

I'm going to be utilizing the main and subsets for the personas of the other party members. That was something I love from Persona Q and of course has to be of the same arcana. Also this fic will take place earlier than when the game actually takes place. Marie won't be in this, I have someone else for that role.

Ok, now with that out of way let the journey commence.

Disclaimer: Persona 4 and its characters and settings are owned by Atlus, and JoJo's Bizzare Adventure is owned by Hirohiko Araki. The only things I own are my OC's.

Chapter 1: Arrival

(Insert: Aria of the Soul)

As one journey ends another begins. As we come across a lone limousine traversing along a road covered in dense fog with only the light of the vehicle guiding its way through to its destination. Now if you'd look at it from the outside it wouldn't look like much from its dull silver exterior, but what makes it unique is what's on the inside. The inside was cascaded with a beautiful velvet hue, with a gorgeous piano accompanied by a opera singer. The limo was aligned with two leather sofas, a small table in between them, and a bar. This place was known as The Velvet Room a place where only those chosen by fate may enter. It is also where the residents of this domain reside. A old man with a long nose, who is the caretaker of said domain, and his attendant who was a young woman with silver hair, and dressed in blue. However today they are not alone as they are welcomed by two guests, a male and a female. Whose features were hidden from one another by a veil separated between them. These two who would soon be guided by fate.

"Welcome to The Velvet Room. Ah, it seems that we have guests with an intriguing destiny."

As the two guests stirred they awoke to find themselves within the strange room. "Hm, what is this place?" the woman asked, curious of her surroundings. "Where the hell am I?" The man asked, "Did I get drunk? Well wherever I am at least there's booze." The man said as he leaned forward to grab one of the many bottles of alcohol from the bar. "Sir, please refrain from drinking for the time being. Now then, my name is Igor, and I am delighted to make your acquaintance." Igor said, as he introduced himself to the two guests.

"This place exists between dream and reality, mind and matter. It is a room that only those bound by a contract may enter. It may be that such a fate awaits you both in the future." Igor said, "Though I must say it has been quite sometime since we've last had guests, and it appears that once again two have been chosen. How intriguing."

"Now then, why don't you two introduce yourselves. Ladies first, of course." Igor said, as he gestured his hand towards the woman. "Yui Narukami." Yui said, as she quietly introduced herself. "Good, and now the Gentleman." Igor said, as he gestured his hand towards the man. The young man was hesitant and felt no desire to answer them, however he didn't really have much of a choice. Plus, this wouldn't be the first time he had a weird ass dream like this. "Tohru Adachi." Adachi said, as he introduced himself. Before trying to distinguish the features of the mysterious woman behind the veil within this weird ass dream of his. But unfortunately it was no use, the only thing he could figure out by the sound of her voice; was that she was likely around Rin's age. Perhaps a few years younger than her.

"Now, let's take a look into your future. Shall we?" Igor said, before summoning what appeared to be tarot cards before them. "Tell me do you two believe in fortune telling?" Igor asked, "I guess so." Yui replied, unsure how to answer the question. Although she didn't really believe in it herself, she was one who was open minded to the concept and was interested in it. However, Adachi on the other hand wasn't so open to the idea; and was of course skeptical of the whole thing. "No, I don't." Adachi said, as he answered Igor; annoyed at the old man's question. Sure, he knew someone who had an ability to see the future; but fortune telling was whole other story altogether. He knew that fortune telling was a complete and utter sham people used to con those who were stupid enough out of their money.

"Well, regardless." Igor said, before carrrying on. "Each reading is done with the same cards, yet the result is always different. Life itself follows the same principles, doesn't it?" Igor chuckled, taking his hand and flipped the card over with ease. The card showed a tower that was crumbling down. "The Tower in the upright position represents the immediate future. It seems a terrible catastrophe is imminent." Igor said, taking his hand and went to flip over another card. "The card indicating the future beyond that is." The two leaned in closer, Yui was entranced by this and wondered what would happen next. Adachi on the other hand, was trying to figure out as to what the trick was to what the old man was doing. As Igor revealed a card with a crescent moon. "The Moon in the upright position represents hesitation and mystery. Very interesting indeed. It seems you two will encounter misfortune at your destination, and a great mystery will be imposed onto the both of you. In the coming days you will enter a contract of some sort, after which the two of you will return here. The coming year will be a turning point in your destiny. If the mystery is not solved your future may be forever lost." Igor said, Yui didn't understand as to what Igor meant by that. Adachi however, was excited as to what the year would bring, and although he thought this was all just a dream he thought back to what Rin told him before he came to this boring town. That although things seemed boring now, things would get interesting soon enough; and her intuition was usually never wrong.

"Our duty is to provide assistance to our guests to ensure that does not happen." They had glanced over to the young woman next to Igor, who for some reason Adachi felt like he'd seen someone dressed like that before. "Ah, yes I have neglected to introduce my assistant. This is Margaret. She is a resident of this place like myself." Igor said, as he gestured to his assistant. "My name is Margaret, I am here to accompany the two of you on your journey." Margaret said, as she introduced herself to them. She spoke so elegantly, like someone who has experienced much in her life. "We shall attend to the details at another time. Until then, farewell." Igor said, as he waved his hand.

Although they had many questions for him, it appears that they would have to wait for another time as a wave of drowsiness washed over them. Though they tried to keep their eyes open, they were forced shut as sleep overtook them as their forms started to disappear and depart from The Velvet Room.

Weather: Partly Cloudy

(Insert: A Corner of Memories)

(Yui's POV)

She awoke on board the train, taking her towards to where she would be spending the next year. Because her parents had to go work overseas, she would be staying with her uncle in Inaba. Although this wasn't the first time that this had occurred, due to her parents being so busy; she would be staying with a relative that she barely knew. It made her a bit nervous as to whether or not they would get along. Though, there was one good thing coming from all this; was that she would be able to see her old friend Corina Kurosawa again. She had met her five years ago, and have been writing back and forth to each other ever since. Even though she was sick and in the hospital at the moment, they still continued to send letters to each other.

She looked at her phone, and saw a message from her uncle saying that he would pick her up from the station around 4pm. She thought back to the strange dream she had earlier, wondering whether or not if that really was a dream and who that other man was. "Tohru Adachi." She thought as she vaguely remembered the man, though wasn't entirely sure if she had just dreamt him up or not.

"We will arrive at the Yasogami terminal in a few minutes." The conductor announced, she began to gather her things as the train finally arrived at the station.

(Insert; New Days)

She'd gotten off the train, once it had came to a stop. She took a look around, "There's really nothing here." She thought, she heard someone call over to her. "Hey, over here!" She looked over and saw a rugged, tall man in his forties. Wearing a grey dress shirt, black dress pants, a brown blazer and a red tie. "I'm Ryotaro Dojima, I'll be the one taking care of you for the next year. Let's see.. I'm your mother's younger brother, and that about sums it up." Dojima said, as he introduced himself to her. "Well, I figured that much." She thought, "Though you look more pretty in person than in your photographs. Welcome to Inaba." Dojima said, "Nice to meet you. I'm Yui Narukami." She said, as she introduced herself to Dojima. "Well it's nice to meet you, to think you've grown so much though. I remember I used to change your diapers." Dojima said, "That's not something that I needed to know." She thought, as she was embarrassed by Dojima saying that. Alongside him was a little girl who looked to be about six years old with pigtails, and wearing a pink jacket and a dark pink skirt. "This is my daughter Nanako, go on and say hi to your cousin." Dojima said, as he gestured to Nanako. " "ello." Nanako shyly said, before she hid behind her dad's leg. "What are being so shy for?" Dojima asked, Nanako smacked the back of her dad's leg. "Ouch! Haha!" He said, Nanako glared at him. "Well, let's get going. My car's right over there." Dojima said, as they started heading towards the car; and started making there way towards the Dojima residence.

Along the way to the Dojima residence Nanako had to go to the bathroom, so they had made a stop at the Moel gas station. As we pulled into the gas station we were greeted by the gas station attendant. She looked to be around her age, perhaps a bit older. Though she was plain looking, she had wavy dark brown hair that went a bit below her shoulders and gray eyes; and wore her regulated uniform and hat. "Hi! Welcome to Moel!" The attendant said, as Dojima and Nanako got out of the car. "Can you go to the bathroom by yourself?" Dojima asked Nanako. "Uh huh." Nanako assured him, as she was about to head to the bathroom. "It's in the back on the left. You know which way's left? The side you don't hold your chopsticks in." The gas attendant said, "I know, geez." Nanako replied, annoyingly; as she continued making her way to the back. "Are you taking a trip?" The gas attendant asked Dojima, while she had gotten out of the car to stretch her legs. "No, we just got back from picking up my niece from the station. She just moved here from the city." Dojima replied, "Fill up my car while you're at it. Regular's fine." Dojima requested, "Right away sir!" The gas attendant replied, getting straight to work. Dojima pulled out a cigarette and a lighter, "A good enough time as any for a smoke." Dojima said, as he went off.

The gas station attendant had approached her and started talking. "Are you a high school student?" The gas attendent asked, "Yeah, I am. I'm a first year, but will be a second year in April." She replied, "I see. I'm also in high school, I'm a second year at Yasogami High: but will be a third year in April." The gas attendant said, "I'm Yumiko Shirasagi, I help out part time around here, it helps pass the time." Yumiko said, as she introduced herself to het. "Nice to meet you Shirasagi-senpai, I'm Yui Narukami." She said, as she introduced herself to Yumiko. "So does it surprise you that there's not much out here?" Yumiko asked her, "Yeah, it sure is different from the city; though it feels quite nice though. Plus, the air's a lot cleaner here than in the city." She replied, "There's not much to do here, you'll most likely get bored quickly. You'll either be hanging out with your friends, doing clubs, or working a part time job. By the way, we're actually looking for some more part time help at the moment. Why don't you give it some thought?" Yumiko suggested, she stretched her hand out offering a handshake. "I'll think about it." She replied, reaching out her hand and shook Yumiko's hand. However, when she did a strange feeling flowed through her as if a jolt of electricity shot through her. "Oh, I should be getting back to work. It was nice meeting you."

While Yumiko had returned to her work, a wave of nausea hit her and she started to feel sick. She held her head trying to fight through the pain, as Nanako returned from the restroom. "Are you ok? You don't look so good. Did you get carsick?" Nanako asked, concerned for her. "I'll be all right." She replied, reassuringly to Nanako. "OK, if you say so." Nanako said, as Dojima returned from his smoke. "What's wrong? You ok?" Dojima asked, "Yeah, I'm just tired." She replied to Dojima, "That's understandable, it must have been a long trip for you. Why not take a little walk? Get some fresh air, I'll wait here. The shopping district is near the house, so you should get to know where all the stores are. Just let me know when you're ready to go." Dojima suggested, "Yeah, I think I'll do just that." She said, before she headed down the road of the shopping district.

--

(Insert: Heartbeat, Heartbreak)

As she headed down the road she took in the sights she had passed by on the way. Seeing the many different types of shops that lined the shopping district. There was a bookstore, a metalworks shop, a convenience store, a bar, a tofu shop, a place that sold steak, a diner, a textile shop and a liquor store. There was one store that looked like it was being refurbished, though there were some that looked liked that they had closed down for business. "I wonder what could've happened here?" She thought, as she continued walking throughout the shopping district. She came across an old lady, along the way. "Why, hello there. I don't think I've seen you before." The old woman said, "Yeah, I just moved here today. I'm Yui Narukami it's nice to meet you." She said, as she introduced herself to the old woman. "My, so polite." The old woman said, "Um, do you know as to why some of the shops closed down?" She asked the old woman, "Ah, yes. That would be because of Junes. It opened up shop a couple months ago, since then the shopping district has become a lot less busier than it used to be. It's such a shame, ever since then some of the shops closed down." The old woman explained to her. "I see." She said, before the old woman hobbled off.

"So there's another shopping district around here known as Junes. Now that I think about it. Christmas is coming up, maybe I should get something nice for Dojima and Nanako." She thought, while she continued down the road. She had spotted a young girl with curly dirty blond hair by the liquor store. She was busy sweeping the snow off the entrance to the shop. She looked a bit older than her. She was wearing a winter school uniform and a long coat to protect her from the cold. "Uh, hello there. You don't look familiar, Did you just move here?" The older girl asked, "Yeah, I just moved here recently from Tokyo." She replied to the older girl, "Oh yeah, a friend of mine just moved here from the city a couple months ago. I'm Saki Konishi, I'm a second year at Yasogami High. But will be a third year starting in April." Saki said, as she introduced herself to her. "Oh, then you would be my senpai then. I'm Yui Narukami, I'm a first year, but will be a second year starting in April. It was nice meeting you Konishi-senpai, I should let you get back to work." She said, as they waved each other goodbye; before Saki went back to sweeping.

Having felt better than she was earlier, she decided to head on back towards the gas station. "Don't want to keep Dojima and Nanako waiting." She thought, she started making her way back. However, she didn't see a patch of ice on the road and had slipped. She was expecting to feel the cold hard ground. Instead, she was held up by a young man who was most likely on his way home from work. "Whoa! Careful there, the ice can get outta hand around here sometimes. You ok?" The man asked, while he steadied her. "Yeah, thanks." She said, thanking the young man. Although, she was grateful for preventing her from falling. She couldn't help but feel as though she heard his voice somewhere before. She wondered if this was the same man she heard in that strange dream she had on her way here to Inaba.

While she observed him, she noticed that he had messy brown hair and grey eyes. He wore a black suit, with a white dress shirt underneath. A navy blue jacket, along with a red scarf and gloves. He was about in his late twenties. "Hey, have we met before?" The man asked, smiling nervously. "Hm, oh no. Its just that you sounded like someone I heard before, that's all. Sorry." Yui said, "Oh, I see ". The man said, "Anyway, I didn't hit you or made you drop anything did I?" She asked, "No worries, both me and my stuff are fine." The young man said, reassuring her. "That's good, I'm glad to hear that" She said, relieved by that. "I'm Yui Narukami, I just moved here. And you are?" She asked, "Tohru Adachi, I'm a detective. I just recently moved here myself about a month ago." Adachi said, as he introduced himself to her. "I see, well I'm glad someone like you is keeping us safe. You look like someone that people can really depend on." She said, as she smiled at Adachi. "Oh, I should be going now. Dojima and Nanako are waiting for me. It was nice meeting you Adachi-san." She said, as she made her way back to the gas station; though not before saying goodbye.

"How are you feeling?" Dojima asked, "I'm feeling better now." She replied to Dojima. "Good. Ready to get back in the car?" Dojima asked, "Yeah, I'm ready." She replied, "All right, let's hit the road then." Dojima said, they'd gotten back in the car. "So did you happen to meet anyone interesting?" Dojima asked, while he continued driving along the street. "Yeah, I did actually. I met a girl who goes to the same school I'll be starting soon by the liquor store. Her name was Saki Konishi." She said, "Oh yeah, Konishi-san and her family owns that liquor store in the Northern Shopping District; their family's owned that place for generations. Hopefully, I won't see you in there, unless you're just speaking to her. Alright?" Dojima asked, "I understand." She said, she smiled at how protective her uncle was being. It was something that she wasn't used to since her parents were mostly busy; even though she knew that they cared and tried to make time for her it still felt nice all the same. Though, she wasn't so sure as how her uncle would react to her meeting a guy older than her. But he was a detective though, so it should be ok.

"I also met this detective as well, he said his name was Tohru Adachi." She said, even though they've actually met before; but she wasn't going to tell him that. She noticed Dojima tense up when she told him the young man's name. "Adachi, yeah that guy's my partner. We're both detectives. He may sometimes act like a rookie, but he's got potential though. But, he's not really the type of person you should be hanging around with. He's a good guy, but a bad influence nonetheless. He can be lazy at times, and a bit of a klutz." Dojima said, she was listening to him; while trying to remember the way from the shopping district to the Dojima residence. Once they finally arrived, she had gotten her things and started to get settled into the place that would be her new home for the next year maybe even longer. She took her shoes off and took a look around before heading upstairs to unpack her things. While Dojima headed back out to go and pick up dinner.

--

Later that evening, the three of them sat down together to eat the dinner Dojima brought back. "Now then, let's have a toast." Dojima declared, the three of them raised their drinks. "So, as usual your parents are as busy as ever. They're working overseas was it? Dojima asked, "Yeah, Mom had to go work on a case, and Dad's helping the Kirjo group with some new project." She said, "It must've been rough having to move out here to the countryside." Dojima said, "I'm used to it." She said, for she already knew fully well how busy her parents were. It's just something she's always been used to, and because of that; it made it hard to get close to others and felt like she had to keep her distance; for she knew that it wouldn't last long and she would be transferred somewhere else having to go through the same routine all over again. "Well, its just me and Nanako here so it'll be nice having someone else around the house. So long as you're here you're part of the family, so make yourself at home." Dojima said, "Thank you very much for taking me in." She said, "What are you being so formal for? You're making Nanako nervous." Dojima said, she scratched the back of her head sheepishly. "Well, anyways. Let's eat!" Dojima declared, as the three of had started to begin eating their food. Suddenly Dojima's phone had rung, "Ugh, who could be calling at this hour?" Dojima complained, as he answered his phone. "Dojima speaking. Mm-hm. Yeah? I see, so where is it? All right, I'm on my way." Dojima said, before he hung up his phone. "Looks like I made the right choice to skip the booze. Sorry, but I got some business I gotta take care of. Go ahead and eat without me. I don't know how late I'll be. Nanako help her out ok?" Dojima asked Nanako, "Ok." Nanako replied sadly, while he'd gotten his stuff and put his shoes on. "Make sure to keep the door locked. Well, I'm off." Dojima said, locking the door behind him as he left.

Nanako waved reluctantly, as her Dad left and turned the TV on before she sat back down at the table. "…For this week. Next, let's take a look at the hourly breakdown of tommorow's forecast." The TV continued on in the background, "Let's eat." Nanako said, after they had given thanks; she had started eating her food with a crestfallen look in her eyes. The same look she's had before in her eyes. One of sadness and loneliness, she had to do something to comfort her cousin and put her at ease. "So, I'm guessing this happens a lot, huh?" She asked Nanako, as she began eating her food. "Yeah, it's always like this. Dad has to work." Nanako said, "I see, well if it makes you feel any better; I know exactly how you feel." She said, as Nanako was surprised by what she said. For she wasn't expecting that someone else knew the same pain she felt.

She had changed the channel to a quiz show that Nanako liked. After sometime during the quiz show it had gone to commercial. "At Junes everyday is customer appreciation day." The commercial showcased the deals from Junes. "Everyday is great at your Junes." The spokeswoman sang as the jingle for the store played. "Everyday is great at your Junes." Nanako sang as she smiled. "I love that song!" Nanako said, happily. "I wouldn't mind hearing you sing some more." She said, Nanako continued singing the Junes song until the quiz show came back on.

Once they had finished eating, she took their dishes to the sink and got to work on washing them; while Nanako was watching her show. She noticed how under utilized the kitchen was, she finished washing the dishes and put them away. The rest of the night was mostly uneventful, Nanako watched her show until it was her bedtime; while she was doing a bit of tidying up.

She had said good night to Nanako before she headed upstairs to her room, and got ready for bed herself as she changed into her pajamas and laid out the futon. She had checked the calendar before heading to bed. "Only five days left until my sixteenth birthday." She thought, as that day was also the same day as Christmas. She headed to bed for the night. However, she would experience something strange amidst her slumber.
