Dear readers, as for this chapter and so on, I have decided to change the category of regular School days anime into School days anime crossover with Persona series due to major element mixed up from both series. This is intended so that readers will know that this story involves both two series mostly. Have fun reading.

Previously on The Power of Everything:

Makoto Itou has confessed his love to his love life, Kotonoha Katsura. They have agreed to go on date on Sakakino together. Later that evening, at the train station, he met Sekai. There, he saw a vision of the future, a vision of which shows Sekai kissing him and proven true later on. Makoto Itou, not only is he shocked about the vision but also, he can't understand of why Sekai would kiss him that far. From that day, his love life changes.

CHAPTER 4

THE AWAKENING

By the time I arrived home, it had already been nighttime. This day was exhausting. I couldn't believe what I witnessed earlier. Sekai kissing me and the vision that showed me earlier, what is actually going on? Is Sekai falling in love with me? That can't be, right? I mean I have Katsura already. I don't really want to end up in a triangle love. I decided to just pretend this never happened. I decided to focus only Katsura. It's better that way. I looked at my phone and her picture. I smiled. I hope that I won't screw up the date. I would rather not do anything that she doesn't like. It would cost my relationship with her for sure. But, this is my first relationship. How am I supposed to know what to do? I don't really want to ask Sekai for this considering earlier event. Maybe, a manual love book can help me but, I wouldn't count on it too much since relationship varies for anyone. I laid down on my bed and thought hard about something, a kiss. Sure, I would love to kiss her but It's best not to do it. She's pure and innocent and I am 100% sure that she had never hold hands with boys before. I stopped thinking about that and went to bed instead and prepare for tomorrow's date.

The day has come for the date. I woke up with a big smile. I bathed while singing. I took my casual clothes and jacket and wore them as soon as possible. Then, I went off from my apartment room and headed straight to Sakakino.

In Sakakino, the promised meeting point, Katsura still hasn't come. It seemed that I took off too early that I decided to buy love book. I went to bookstore first and then purchased it. After that, I returned to the same meeting spot earlier and read the book. For several minutes, the book was bit interesting that I lost sight of nearby surrounding. I lost track of time and I kept reading it. Suddenly, I noticed a person standing in front of me. It took me seconds to finally realize that person was Katsura, my girlfriend. I was flustered and hid my love book. I didn't want her to see it as it would cause me extreme embarrassment. She looked at me with confusing expression and asked whether she made me wait too long. I replied to her that she didn't make me wait too long. As I see her clothes, she wore pink clothes and skirt for going out purpose. The clothes fit with her perfectly. I blushed and thought that she's so beautiful. I was lucky to have her as my girlfriend. I couldn't believe it. Then, we started walking together around Sakakino to see lots of things like restaurant, arcades, bookstores and cinema theatres. It's good thing she ignored the book which I read earlier. We went to bookstores first. She looked around for books that she was searching while I was reading books in other sections. I came across a very interesting book. It was a magazine filled with many women with Bikinis. I looked at it too focus that Katsura came and saw it. I flustered again and she looked at me with smile and sweat drop on her head indicating she's shy. Then, after we finished looking around the bookstore, we went to arcades which is my favorite place. Katsura told me that she didn't really like playing games. But, she did like playing machine doll catcher. I played for her and got so many cute dolls. I gave them to her and she's so happy. After finished, I went to fighting arcade games and played fighting game. She just looked at me and I fought the opponent character. I won the game and point peace finger to Katsura. She smiled and showed blue tear again indicating that she's blushing. After finished in arcade place, we decided to eat in restaurant. I picked menu that she loves and we both ate with a very happy feeling. Soon after that, we decided to walk around further before deciding to go home. While walking, a person who looks like high class business mafia man bumped to Katsura with intention. He looked very angry and cursed at her.

"Damn you, where's your eyes?" he lashed out his anger to her.

She looked very scared and couldn't say anything. I noticed that and quickly stood in front of her to protect her from that man.

"Touch her and you will regret it," I said to him.

"What? How dare y…."

Before he could finish his sentence, Katsura stood up and begged for forgiveness even though she didn't do anything wrong.

"I'm sorry. Please forgive me," she said while bowing to him.

"Tck, you are lucky your girlfriend saves you, boy. And you girl, next time, use your eyes," he said to us while heading off to somewhere.

Katsura kept bowing as he left. I touched on her shoulder and told her that she had done nothing wrong and that she shouldn't bow before him. She was shocked when I touched her shoulder. I was stupid. I shouldn't have touched her and I quickly removed my hand. I guessed right that no boys had ever touched her before. Because of me, we both hardly say anything. Then, she said something to me.

"Th…. Thank you, Itou-kun," she said to me while blushing.

"No…. no problem. Hahaha," I replied with little laugh.

We decided to forget what happened earlier and continued walking. As we were walking, I noticed there was two people fighting. It seemed to me that they're couple. Their voice was so loud that I could hear it in quite far distance.

"Shut up, you damn b*tch. I have had enough of your spoiled behavior," the man spit at her.

"Go to hell, I wouldn't want to be with you anymore even in a million years," the woman shouted at him.

It gained enough attention that people started looking at them. When I looked at them, I was worried if this might happen to us. I don't want to. I will never wish for that as I wish happiness with Katsura forever. Katsura saw that couple too and started worried. It seems that Katsura and I had the same thinking. We both looked at each other with worries but, I smiled and she did too. We decided to go home. So, we kept walking to train station.

The evening came and there was no one but us at the train station. We both talked and shared our experience earlier. I was so happy. Katsura told me that she's totally happy for today.

"It… Itou-kun? Thank you. Today's a great date," she looked at me while smiling.

"Katsura, thank you too. I want to go on date with you as many times as I can," I told her so that she would be happier.

We sat down and waited for the train to come. We talked and talked until someone shouted which interrupted us.

"KYAAAAAAAAAA… HELPPPPPPPP."

It seems that numerous people was shouting for help. We stood up quickly and looked at the shouting direction. A group of people ran to us and passed us. I was wondering what was happening that they ran. Katsura and I looked at the direction from where they ran. There was something. Something that can't be explained. Something that's flying. It looked like floating orbs with lips and large tongues with black lines pattern covered whole body and no eyes. It seems like they attack by using their tongues. We were both scared.

"Ka… Katsura… Run," I told her so we could escape from the monsters.

Katsura and I ran but only few meters because I fell down. Katsura noticed that I fell down and stopped and looked at me.

"Itou-kun!" she called me.

I quickly stood up, but I couldn't move. My body was paralyzed. The three floating orbs started moving forward and were about to attack me. I thought this might be the end of me.

"No… this isn't happening. I don't want to die. I was just having happy moments with Katsura," I thought for the very last moment.

"Itou-kun!" she called me again in hoping that I would move.

She started running towards me. The three floating orbs were very close to me in distance now. I close my eyes and protect myself using my arms. Then, something happened to me. A voice echoed in my mind.

"I am thou, thou art I. The time has come. Open thy eyes and call forth what is within."

As the voice echoed, I looked up the sky. An unknown card spinning around came down to me. I opened my hand and looked at it. It was a tarot card which symbol is Fool. It was filled with blue aura. Katsura saw it and she couldn't say anything. Though, she uttered my name little.

"It…..ou…-kun?" she looked at me in fear.

The images in my mind showed the velvet room, Igor and Abigail. Then, without knowingly, I spoke a certain word which I never know about this word.

"Pe…...,"

A blue aura circled around me. It created massive aura that caused Katsura fell down. She was shocked while looking at me. I couldn't blame her as I also wouldn't believe about this. Her mouth opened a little and her eyes showed deep fear. I continued the word.

"Per….so….. na," I said the word.

I grabbed the card and the card broke like shattered in pieces and it also created sound a glass breaking. Then, a mysterious figure showed up behind me. It surfaced and created even massive aura that caused the floating orbs hesitated to attack. It wore black clothes and had a giant sword with demonic yellow eyes. As the aura started to fade, one of the floating orbs attacked forward. I raised up my hand and pointed to the floating orb. The mysterious figure attacked with its leg and killed the orb. It dissolved like an acid and it feels like muddy substance and then it disappeared. I was breathing too hard and as I tried to accumulate my energy. Second floating orb came and attacked the mysterious figure by eating its head followed by the third orb attacking its body. I felt pain and uttered words.

"Gah," I felt pain even though I wasn't being attacked directly.

"Damnnnnnn you," I shouted.

It seems that whatever attacks that hit the mysterious figure, it will also hurt me as we both are one. Then, I resisted back and the mysterious figure forced the orb out of his head and threw it away and then stabbed it with the sword. Second orb became dissolved. As the last orb began to attack, I uttered the mysterious figure name which I also didn't know how I came to know its name.

"Izanagi," I called its name.

Izanagi then casted light thunder out of nowhere and hit the last orb and it began dissolved. I breathed so hard and my persona, Izanagi, began vanished. Katsura who witnessed all that was still shocked and couldn't say anything except in fear of me. It's a good thing that no one except Katsura saw me like this. I tried to call her.

"Kat….. su…. ra," I called her and then I began losing consciousness.

As I almost hit the ground and out of consciousness. I was thinking and hoping that our relationship would still be strong and filled with love. I hoped Katsura wouldn't abandon me because of this. As for that, I thought that this must be the power Igor was talking about. I was too tired to think about that. I fell down and my body felt heavy. Katsura who was still freeze due to this event suddenly stood up and reached to me. She called me.

"Itou-kun! Itou-kun!" she shook my body.

I closed my eyes as she called me and shook my body.
