Forecast: Raining

"That is one hell of a story!" My eyes widened as I listened to the story about Yosuke's shadow. It would have been impossible for someone to believe had they not been to the TV world themselves. Which is a good thing that I was, otherwise I would probably set them away with the nice white men with the nice white jacket that would take them to the nice white room, or ya know called them crazy and left it at that! "So, Yosuke, your shadow-thing-whatever the hell you call it, what did it say to make you freak out?"

Yosuke's eyes widened in fear the moment the question left my mouth; you'd think from that reaction that he thought everyone was a bore or something like that. Oh, well. "N-nothing important!"

Yu just smiled at our friend's discomfort, which I then turned to Mr. Mute and threw out a new question. "So nothing came out in your case? So what does that mean, you accepted it on this side, or maybe you have nothing to hide?"

Yu just shrugged at my question; sometimes I wished he would just say something. Yet, I guess he really didn't need to say much. I pretty much understood what he was saying most of the time, I guess. Yu finally voiced a question. "Hey Kreed, have you seen Chie yet?"

"No," I raised one of my eyebrows at his question. "Why do you ask?"

"Well," Yu took a deep breath before explaining why he asked me a weird question like that. "Neither Yosuke or me have seen her yet today, and you two seem to be getting close."

God the coughing fit I broke out into would make people think I was starting to die, but give me a break! We just met at the beginning of this week and Yu is already jumping the gun thinking that we are DATING, don't get me wrong, I thought Chie was cute, hell beautiful, and I liked her, but DAMN way to jump the gun Yu! "D-DUDE, DUDE WE FOR FUCK'S-! W-WE JUST MET FOR GOD'S SAKE MAN!"

"I didn't mean it like that." God I felt like a total dumbass for exploding like that, thank god all of the cussing was in English and the King Moron wasn't in the room, god I would be in trouble if that happened! Just before I could defend myself, the sound of a door sliding open quickly, made all three of us turn our heads around to see guess who?

"Speak of the devil and she shall appear!" I joked lightly until I noticed that Chie seemed frantic about something. This wasn't about yesterday was it? GOD! I thought that I had gotten past that! My fears about this were only expanded as she ran over to the three of us.

I was surprised at what happened next, Yosuke apologized! "Oh… Chie! Um… About yesterday… We're sorry we worried you…" of course the world was trying to give me a heart attack that day apparently!

"Never mind that." I started to have another coughing fit, good GOD! If these didn't think I had a health problem by the end of the year… "Is Yukiko still not here?"

"No," I spoke up from my seat, again being crowded, again CLASURPHOBIA! "We thought you would walk here with her."

"Oh man…" That right there scared the crap out of me, was she in trouble, I didn't know her very well, but I could tell she was a good person. "What should I do…? Hey, is that stuff you were talking about for real?"

"Well," I tried to calm her down; there was no need to assume the worst right? "They have one hell of a story behind what happened yesterday."

"Oh," Yosuke blew right past my comment, on come man don't worry her AGAIN! "We were just talking that. We're thinking of checking it out later-"

"The person on TV yesterday…" I raised an eyebrow at her, why do I seem to miss all the important stuff!? "I think it was Yukiko." Yu and Yosuke replied in shock, I, again responded by coughing up a freaking lung! God, Yosuke might just need to pay for my medical bills! "That Kimono looked like the one she wears at the inn, and she wore it during that interview a few days ago too."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" I waved my hands in front of my face for a moment. Are you trying to tell me that I missed the Midnight Channel again, and the person who was one it was freaking Yukiko! God, next time someone text or call me!"

"Dude," Yu put a hand on my shoulder, indicating for me to calm the freak down! I did for the most part, but still, this was a good reason to back into the TV at least! Not like Yosuke's, good god he had to be a dumbass. "Let her finish…"

"I-I'm sorry Chie."

She just nodded and went back to her story. "I got worried, so I emailed her last night, but she hasn't responded… I called her in the evening though, and she said that she'd be at school today… I-I…"

Chie looked close to tears; I wasn't going to let that happen after yesterday. "Chie, look at me! She was probably busy at the inn, give her another call."

"Y-yeah," Chie took a deep breath and pulled out her phone, she quickly punched in the number for Yukiko's cell. I was close enough that I could hear the thing ring, and go straight to fucking voice mail! Go freaking figure. "No good… Her voicemail picked up."

Yu quickly told Chie everything that they had told me about the other world… You know what, screw it! I'm calling it the Shadow World! If you don't like it, TO BAD! But I digress! "What are you guys saying that… Yukiko got thrown in there!"

I quickly elbowed Yu for making her worry even more! You do not pull a stunt like that, god! "I highly doubt that! Look try the inn, maybe she's working."

"Man," Yosuke put his hand to his forehead. "Is Yukiko-san in that place?"

"Y-you're right!" She ignored Yosuke's comment for the most part! "I have the number here somewhere…"

I heard her hit a few more buttons and the other line started ringing. "C'mon, Yukiko… Pick up…" That's when I heard someone pick up the other end of the phone. "Oh, is this Yukiko!?"

Chie held the mic of her phone and turned to us. "Thank god, she's there!"

I turned to Yu and Yosuke and proceeded to flip them both off. "Told ya!"

"Uh-huh… Uh-huh, I see… Ah, uh. Nah, it was nothing, haha. I'll email you again later…." I smiled as Chie finally calmed down, crisis avoided! Chie sighed, a smile upon her face. "She was over at the inn. She said they had a big group reservation and she had to help out."

"Again!" I point at Yu and Yosuke. "I win!"

"Yeah…" Chie thought about it for a moment, I thought she was going to explode at Yosuke. "Now that I think about it, this has happened before, too. At least once a year. She said she'll be at the inn tomorrow, too." Huh, never mind I was wr- "Oh, for crying out loud, Yosuke! You got me worried over nothing! And you were all, 'Is Yukiko-san inside that place…? Hmph…"

Logic one, me five! Then I assumed Yosuke would retaliate against her. "S-sorry." SON OF A-, logic two, me five. "But there is a reason we thought that."

"Like what?" I asked, with actual curiosity. "Seriously explain, we would like to know this."

"Well…" I was surprised with how mature Yosuke was being, not to sound like a dick here! "We thought people show up on the Midnight Channel because they're already over in that world."

"So," I spoke up believing that once again I knew where this was going. "You think that they might show up before they are kidnapped, right?"

"Dude," Yosuke raised an eyebrow at me. "How did you come up with that!?"

"Just a guess."

"Well, let's meet up at Junes after school." Everyone nodded in agreement, we knew what we had to do now!

Time Change: Early Morning to After School

Junes

"This would have been a good idea if no one was here!" I complained, well because the electronics department was full of people! We wanted to go back in to the TV, but with that many people here, heh there was no way in hell we were just gonna jump into a TV in the middle of a large crowd like this! Yu had also just finished explaining what happened yesterday in the Shadow World. "So, again Yosuke I ask, what did you shadow say?"

"Wh-why is it important!?" Yosuke freaked out again, god if I ever found out what his shadow said I would moon walk all over Inaba! "S-so, I think that's more than enough about my sorry escapades."

"No," I shook my head, I hope he knew I was never gonna let it go. "I think we need to hear just a little bit more."

"Will you two focus!?" Chie snapped at both me and Yosuke, god I was scared for the safety of my nads at that point in time. "Yukiko might be in danger here! And it's like you two don't even care!"

Me and Yosuke hung our heads in shame. I was the only one who spoke up though. "I'm sorry; I'm just trying to lighten the mood."

Chi sighed with her hands on her hips. "I-I know, S-so what are we going to do, because Kreed is right, there are way too many people here."

"I know," Yosuke sighed, how in the hell could you forget when a sale was going on being the managers son! "I forgot there's a sale in the electronics department today…"

Exactly what I just said! Yosuke suddenly looked like he got hit with a bolt of inspiration! "I got it! Guys, make a wall around Yu."

"Why," My eyebrow raised a bit at his "plan," make a wall, dear god Yosuke! I finally just shrugged, it might work. "Fine, I'll watch to see if anyone is trying to come down the ale behind us."

Yosuke and Chie stood on either side of Yu to block everyone's view of him. "Okay, Yu, try sticking your hand into the TV and call for Teddie. I bet that bear's wandering around the entrance anyway."

I was surprised that Yosuke's plan was actually working for the time being, yet I think it worked a little too well. Yu put his hand into the TV for a moment before pulling it back in pain. "OW!"

"W-what happened!?" Chie quickly looked at Yu's hand, there were bite marks across his hand. "Oh, ow that looks like it hurt, are you okay?"

"I think I'm dieing." Yu stated that like Teddie had freaking poisonous teeth! Which we later found out that he does not have any type of poison on him at any time, thank god!

"You look fine to me," Chie glared at Yu. "Sheesh that stupid bear must've done it."

"Well," I shrugged my shoulder raising my hands up by my face. "Better than those shadow things."

Chie got frustrated at our stuffed psychotic bear. "Hey, you! We know you're in there!"

The screen started shimmer as I heard familiar voice come through, well I guess the speakers of the TV on a low volume. "Ooh ooh, is this a game?"

"Yeah," I smiled evilly. "I'm thinking of a number between one and ten!"

"Both of you knock that off!" Yosuke barked at both me and Teddie. "No, it's not a game! Can you sense anyone inside there right now?"

"Who's 'anyone?'" Teddie said, I thought he was serious until the next words left his, I think that counted as a mouth, it did move after all. "I'm a lonely little bear like always. This land feels so bear-ren…" I couldn't help but snicker, it was kinda funny after all. No one seemed to agree with me though, as Chie decided to yell at the poor little bear.

"Shut it!" She quickly calmed down though, god she must really have cared for Yukiko. "So there's no one inside…? You're sure?"

"I-I'm not lying!" Teddie quickly tried to defend his disposition. "My nose is running as good as ever!"

"Are we sure he's not a blood hound?" I come on, with that one I had to ask, he made it way too easy!

"Does it even matter!?" Yosuke barked at me again.

"No, I just wanna know."

Chie sighed while scratching her head. She seemed content that her friend was not inside the TV. "I'm gonna go warn Yukiko anyway."

"Here," Yosuke flipped out his phone, Yu and Chie did the same thing. I shrugged and did the same. Suddenly a message appeared after a the guys told me what to press. It said as followed: You now have Yosuke H., Yu N., and Chie S. as contacts. I thought that was freaking awesome! Why don't phone's work like this in the states! "This way we can call each other if something does show up!"

"Okay," Chie pumped her arms down to her sides. "I'm going to run as fast as possible to warn her!"

"Be careful," I waved good bye to her as she ran out of the electronics department and the mall. "So, what's the plan guys?"

"What do you think?" Yosuke sighed as he started to walk away too. "Check the Midnight Channel later tonight, and if she shows up, me and Yu can do our thing!"

Yu smiled as he too started to walk away too. "Let's hope we're wrong thow!"

"Yeah," I sighed as I pulled out my phone when they were out of sight. There was a message on the screen. I hated what it said and the person who sent it. Flipping the phone shut I started to walk away from the TV, and put in my i-pod for the walk home. This was going to be a long year, I could already tell.

Time Change: After School to Evening

Just before Midnight

It was eleven fifty-nine, I yawned, if we had to do this on a regular basis I was gonna lose so much sleep I would turn into a zombie before the end of the week! Even though it was Saturday, god I thought that was stupid! A six day school week, what the crap is up with that! Geeze, at least we would have all day to go save Yukiko if she showed up on the Midnight Channel. Suddenly a very clear image appeared on the screen of my TV. I swore I saw a castle in the back ground, all I could think before anyone even said anything was, Looks like a low budget TV show! Yukiko was in the center of the screen though!

"Good evening!" First that did not sound like Yukiko's voice, way too… um, what's the word… Cheerful and well stakerish! She was in some weird ass dress that looked like something a Disney princess would wear, Gag! Then I noticed the microphone she was holding. Dear god, what the hell is she doing!? "Tonight, princess Yukiko has a big surprise."

Oh god, this should good… "I'm gonna go score myself a hot stud!" I instantly started to cough up a lung, but can you blame me! THIS SOUNDED NOTHING LIKE YUKIKO and I was right about the stalkerish part! Dear god I was so creeped out! "Welcome to not a dream not a hoax!"

I wished it was! This was so fucking weird! "Princess Yukiko's hunt for her prince charming! And I came prepared!" I was so creeped out at this point that nothing she said could have surprised me! "I got my lacy unmentionables on stacked top to bottom!"

God I have never been so wrong in my entire life! I went into another coughing fit, only this time I fell off my couch and slammed my head against the end table. God that hurt! "I'm out to catch a whole harem, and the best of the lot will be all mine! Weell, here I go!"

With that the Midnight Channel turned off. "I'm not gonna get any sleep tonight."

April 10, 2011

Forecast: Clear

Time: Evening

The plane moved at high speeds there the air as I sat there looking over how to speak and read Japanese one last time. I sighed loudly; everyone else was very much deep asleep on the plane, except for me and the person who sat next to me. It was a girl was blonde; her skin was very much pale. Her eyes were an unnatural shade of light blue. She had this weird head band that covered her ears, she also wore a long black skirt and black long sleeved blouse with a red tie… why a tie I don't know, why a beanie for me instead of a baseball cap. BECAUSE I COULD! Still she seemed like she had just woken up even though she had been awake the whole flight so far. I decided to try something, so I turned to her. "Um hel-hello."

I held out my hand to her, to be honest I was trying to get a hang of Japanese before I got to Japan. She turned and smiled at me. "Hello, this is the first time we've meet, is it not?"

"What? CRA-" I quickly recovered. "S-sorry, I'm not very good at, man how do you say that? Oh yeah! Speaking Japanese!"

"Oh," She still held out her hand to me. I got a look at them and raised an eyebrow, she looked like she and a glove on, but her finger tips were black, and I swore they looked like metal, I still shook her hand. "Nice to meet you, I'm Aigis!"

"Kreed," I knew I wasn't good at speaking it, which was going to take some time, but I was really close to understanding every word of it! "So where are you, um, oh, headed to?"

"Tokyo for the time being, what about you?"

"A small town called Inaba, I'm going to the local high school starting in two days."

"Well, your Japanese is almost perfect, even though you're a lot better at English. You might want to get some sleep, because we are going to be landing soon."

My jaw just dropped, she spoke fluent English and Japanese. Yet I knew she was right, so I sighed and tried to get some sleep.

Sorry it took so long, I had school, but here it is! Chapter 5, sorry it's kinda short. Still hope you enjoyed and enjoy the chapters to come!
