Short notice: To tell you the truth. At first, I didn't have a single thought about writing a fic for Persona 4, until after I go around the site and found out that we don't have enough Persona 4 fic. So I decided to give P4 some 'love' since everyone dug their head into P3. I love P3 too, a lot actually, but it'll unfair for P4, right? Anyway, first day at school with Yosuke, Yukiko aaaaand… CHIE! (Yup! I like her so hate me :D)

Disclaimer: If ya wanna know, go back to the first chapter :P

Story reading guide: Here is how you read my story. In case of someone get confused.

"I don't know about this." Italic + quotation = Someone is mumbling. Sometimes can be heard by other person.

I don't know about this. *Name* Italic only = Someone's thought. The name is right after the thought (well, sometimes, though…)

"I don't know about this." Normal = talking, speaking, etc. (easy, right?)

I'll put the in-game date in bold.

Chapter 2: …Set…

04/12/2011

"Breakfast's ready!" Nanako voice came from down stair.

"Uh… OK!" Souji replied while placing one hand on his head. He could still hear the mysterious voice echoes inside his head. "…the hell was that?" He closed his eyes and took a deep breath to shake the memory out of his head. He opened his eyes again and looked at the calendar on the wall, next to the door. "Oh yeah, today's my first day at school…" He sighed. "…once again…" mumbled to himself as he made his way to the bathroom…

Morning rain…I swear I just saw sunlight a few minutes ago. Souji thought. He went down the stair when he smelled something, something delicious. He got to the living room and saw Nanako was setting up the table.

"Good morning." Nanako greeted.

"Hi, Nanako." He sat down on the chair and pulled the sunny side-up plate near him. "Where did your dad go?"

"Um… dad went out to work early so I prepared the breakfast." She picked her spoon up. "Okay, let's eat."

Souji finished his breakfast and decided to help Nanako clean up the table. "You're starting school today, right?" asked Nanako.

"Yes."

"Um… my school is on the way, so… let's go to school together." She started to smile but also seemed to be restless. Couldn't decline the offer, Souji nodded. "I guess that'll do."

They finally started to go outside. The rain was pretty heavy, despite the fact that it was sunny this morning. Nanako grabbed two umbrellas by the door, a small orange one for her and a plain white one for Souji to keeps.

Nanako walked with Souji until they reached to the Samegawa flood plain. "You keep going straight that way." She pointed at the direction of some students, who apparently going to the same school as his. "My school is on the other way, so… bye!" Nanako smiled as she walked to the opposite direction.

Tch… you only need to tell me where to go, you don't need to go all the way here with me… Souji shook his head and smiled at his cousin.

The school appeared before his eyes as Souji tiredly walked on the wet street, well, until something else caught his eyes. It was a male student, he was riding his bike with one hand on the handlebar and the other was holding his umbrella. The hell…? Souji thought. That's not a good idea…

"Whoooaaa… AAH!" He crashed straight into a pole, and Souji could clearly saw where the pole hit him at. The fluffy brown-haired student managed to stand on his feet, barely though. He was clutching for his precious (ahem…) nuts…

Fatality… Souji thought as he approached the pained student. "You ok, man?" He asked while doing his best to hold back his laugh.

"Ngh… Urrgh… I… I'm alright… Don't worry about me…" He didn't even glance at Souji, but Souji understood, 'cuz he knows how much pain this guy is going through. "Ok…" Souji rolled his eyes. That doesn't seem alright to me… oh well. He turned away and continued to proceed to his school.

"Ugh…my…god..." The pained student growled as he banged his head against the wall while still holding his pants…

"So you're Souji Seta, the transfer student, correct?" A woman asked him, she was holding some kind of folder in her fingers. "…let's see, you have been assigned in class 2-2…" She turned her head and looked at a man, who is sitting in an office chair with his coffee. "Mr. Morooka, this is the transfer student, please escort him to your class."

The man turned and looked at the woman then to Souji. He had a weird figure, and by all mean, even a mental patient looks better than him. All of his upper-jaw teeth were showed out from his mouth, covered his lower lip. It's truth that his hair was neatly combed but there's something not quite right about it. To be easy to imagine, he was half-near bald with a neatly hair (?) "Hpm…" He put down his coffee and approached Souji. "So you're the transfer student from the city." He talked to Souji with a harsh voice. "You're coming with me, you city punk!" he told Souji that as soon as they exited the Faculty Office.

What the fuck's wrong with this guy? Souji mentally swore and silently followed Mr. Morooka 'escorts' him to his new classroom.

Chie Satonaka was sitting in her desk, chatting with her best friend Yukiko Amagi about various stuffs until they were distracted by the gossip of the other students. "Man, talk about bad luck. Morooka is our homeroom teacher, isn't he?" A male student groaned. "Yeah, it's King Moron alright… I'm really looking forward to hear his long-ass lectures for the rest of the year…" His friend replied.

"I know that, but at least we have a transfer student from a city in here!" The girl seemed rather excited. "Really? I heard it before but never thought it was true." The guy exclaimed.

"A transfer student from a city… just like you, huh, Yosuke?" Chie turned her head back to look at the fluffy brown hair student. "Eh, you look dead today."

"Ugh, um… I don't wanna talk about it..." Yosuke Hanamura rested his head on the desk, with the expression of worry…and pain on his face. Like I gonna tell them I hit myself in the balls this morning, and also broke her CD last night… how am I gonna survive this?

"What's with him?" Chie asked her best friend.

"Who knows?" The long-haired girl shrugged.

The classroom's door slid to the side and Mr. Morooka stepped inside with Souji behind him. "Awright, shut your traps!" He scolded the class. "First thing first! My name is Kinshiro Morooka and I'm your teacher from today forward." He paused. "Long as I'm around, you students are going to be pure as the driven snow!"

Seriously, does this guy ever shut his damn mouth? It's bad enough that I had a nightmare last night, now I have to deal with him?

"I hate wasting time, but I guess I better introduce the transfer student." He pointed his thump at Souji. "This sad sack's been thrown from the big city out to the middle of nowhere like yesterday's garbage, and he's nothing more than a loser you students here, so you girls don't even think about seducing him!" Morooka's eyes went to Souji. "Tell 'em your name, kid, and make it quick!"

Just ten minutes and he's already pissed me off! Ok, you want name, I'll give you name… Souji thought as he looked at the class. "My name is Souji Seta… and did you just call me a loser?" He glared at Morooka with a half grin on his face.

"Hrnh… That's it, you're on my SHIT list, effective immediately." Souji liked how Morooka acts all weak before him. His voice seemed scare, but he also scared of Souji himself - a real badass… "Listen up! This place is miles away from your city of perverts and assholes…"

Yeah, I'm looking at one right now…

"…you better not even think about of getting involved with the girls here, let alone abusing them! But what do I know... kids grow up so damn fast even in here!" Morooka showed no sign of stopping his lame talk. "…every time I turn my back, you're fooling around with your damn phones, checking your… your life-journals or…or Myplaces."

"They're Livejournal and Myspace, you dumbass." Souji muttered through his grin. T hat guy just keep going on and on, Souji wished that a NASA's satellite would crash into him to shut him off.

"Um… Can the transfer student sit here?" The girl in green athletic jacket raised her hand and asked.

"Huh, you hear that, your seat is over there. So hurry up and get your ASS in there!" He yelled since he's still pissing off from Souji's mock.

As Souji walked toward his seat, he could hear some students warning him about how he could get suspended by angering Morooka. But he didn't give a shit about this guy, though, Morooka is just another teacher that Souji had dealt with a lot of time before, a kind of teacher who only care about their pay-check, and use their so called 'teacher' to scare the students.

Souji sat down in his seat and shifted his pose uncomfortably. "He's the worst, right?" The girl in green leaned over and whispered to Souji.

"Haha, tell me about it." He smiled.

"Worst luck for you to get stuck in this class in your first morning here. Well, guess we'll have to hang in there for a year." said Chie.

"Everybody, SHUDDUP! Let's move on to the lecture!" Morooka yelled…again.

Souji leaned back on his chair and smiled desperately. It's just getting worse every year…

Time slowly passed by as Souji was forced to listen to King Moron's lecture. (He learns this nickname from the other classmates during the lecture.)

"Awright, that's all for today, normal lecture will start tomorrow…" The whole class cried out a cry of happiness.

As Morooka walked toward the door, the speaker announced. "Attention, all teachers. Please report immediately to the Faculty Office for a brief staff meeting. All students must return to their classroom and are not to leave the school until further notice." The announcement ended.

"Hrhn, you heard the announcement. Don't go anywhere until you heard otherwise." Morooka left.

There are two girls walked to Souji seat as he done pack up his things. One with long black haired, and the other is the girl that sit right next to him in class. "Hey, your name is Souji Seta, right?" The girl in green asked.

"Yeah, what's up?"

"Oh it's nothing, we just want to introduce ourselves." She smiled. "My name is Chie Satonaka, you must've known that I sit next to you." Her smile changed into a grin as she patted Souji's shoulder. "By the way, nice job back there. You maybe the first one to make that guy humiliated in front of everyone, you really have some guts!"

"Hehe, it's nothing." Souji smiled.

"Oofs, my bad, almost forgot. Her name's Yukiko Amagi." Chie gestured at the girl in red.

"Um… Nice to meet you. I'm sorry if this is so sudden." Yukiko seemed somewhat apologetic.

"C'mon, don't apologize like that. It makes me feel like I got no upbringing." said Chie.

"Attention, all students." The speaker was on. "There has been an incident inside the school district. Police officers have been dispatched around the School Zone. Please stay calm and contact your parents or guardians as soon as possible, and quickly leave the school ground. Do not disturb the police officers. Head directly home." The announcement stopped.

"Wait, something happened?" A student stood up and ran toward the window. "Tch, I can't see anything."

"I know, man. Every time it rain lately, it gets all foggy." His friend replied.

"This is creepy… I'm going home now." A girl spoke.

The police car siren could be heard in distance, and it seemed like it pretty close to the school. "Hm, weird. Anyway, do you like to go home with us?" Chie asked.

"Yeah, why not."

"Great! Then we should go right away."

As the two girl led Souji out of the class, a guy hesitantly walked near them. "Uh…um …Miss Satonaka…?"

Hey, it's the guy in the morning. Souji thought.

"…The movie… was really awesome… Like, the way they moved was just amazing to see…" He pulled something looks like a CD out from his bag and bowed down while giving it to Chie. "And… I'm really sorry, it was an accident, please have mercy until my next pay-check." Chie winced and cautiously received the CD. "Ok, bye!" The brown-haired guy walked away in panic.

"Wait a sec! What did you do to my DVD?" Chie ran after the guy and quickly performed a kick. It sounded like she hit the place that shouldn't be hit… for a man.

"Argh!" The guy felt down to the floor, rolling around while holding his (ahem…) nuts

"What the? I can't believe this! It is complete cracked." Chie whined as she opened the CD box. "My 'Trail of the Dragon…!"

"*Cough* I think… mine's cracked, too… *Cough* C-critical hit to the nads *Cough*" He rolled around, mumbled in pain.

Ouch! Double-kill in one day… Souji smiled.

"H-hey, are you ok?" Yukiko asked.

"Oh, Yukiko-san… Are you worried about me?" He seemed somewhat delighted when he heard Yukiko's voice.

"He's fine, Yukiko! Let's ditch him and go home!" Chie said in anger and stomped out of the class with Yukiko following behind her. As for Souji, he silently looked at the fluffy-hair student is banging his head against the floor, muttering some curses. Souji sweat-dropped and slowly went after the girls…

"So how long have you been here?" Chie asked with both of her hands inside her jacket's pocket.

"Actually, I've just came here yesterday."

"Wow, if I was you, I would rather stay at home." She paused, thinking something. "Speaking of home, who are you living with right now?"

"Right now, I'm living in with my uncle and my cousin." The same old Souji, always answers what need to be answered.

"Well, that's cool." Chie nodded.

Souji leaned his head a bit to look at Yukiko, who hardly said anything since they left the class. …guess she's shy, unlike Chie here…

They reached the gate and started to leave the school until they were stopped by a guy. He doesn't look like he goes to Yasogami because of his uniform, and there's something creepy about this guy, he looks like a zombie to be short. The strange student approached Yukiko, unnoticing the presence of Souji and Chie. "Um… you're Yuki, right?" Y-you wanna go hang out somewhere?" He asked straight out.

"W-what? Who are you?" Yukiko panicked.

The hell…? Souji thought as he overheard some male students gossiping about the creep. "What school is he from? And he's going for Yukiko-san? At least just wait until she is alone or something."

"Hah, either that he got some guts or he's just an idiot."

"Bet a can of TaP that he'll get shot down."

"No way, man. The Amagi challenge is too much for that guy. Uh-uh, no bet!"

Waited long enough, the creep lost his patient. "A-are you going or not?"

"N-No! I'm not going." The long-haired girl replied.

"Fine!" He got really angry and ran away.

"What did he want from me?" Yukiko asked.

"He wants to ask you out on a date, duh." Chie rolled her eyes.

"Really?" Yukiko seemed clueless.

"You're saying that you have no idea?" Chie sighed. "But that was way over the top, how he called you Yuki all of sudden."

Souji face-palmed.

"Yo, Yukiko-san! Turned down another challenger, huh?" It was Yosuke, the brown-haired male student. He towed his bike along with him as he approached the group. "Man, you're cruel… You did to me the same last year."

"Last… year? I don't remember doing that." Yukiko exclaimed.

"Oh, so you wanna go some place sometimes?" He asked hopefully.

"I'd rather not."

Bang, down… Souji smirked.

"That teaches me a lesson not to get my hopes too high." He sighed and got on his bike. "Well, I'm off, and Chie, don't bully the new guy too much."

With that, he quickly rode away, leaving the trio stood in surprised. "H-hey! We're just curious, is all! Sheesh…" Chie yelled. "Sorry, for the troubles we dragged you in…" She scratched her head while looking Souji in the eyes.

"It's ok."

A few more students started form around them, looking, pointing, and gossiping. "D-dude! The transfer student is with Yukiko-san and Chie-san." One student said. "Shit, this guy is something. Got his hands on Yukiko on his first day." Another guy talked.

"C-Chie! Let's get going! People are looking at us." Yukiko poked her best friend.

"O-oh, sorry. Let's go." Chie turned away and walked with Yukiko.

"Cute…"

The trio walked while talking about various stuffs. Well, Chie did most of the talking. "Oh, so you moved here because of your parents' job. And I thought it was something way more serious."

"Yeah, I know." Souji replied.

There was a short pause in their conversation. Chie looked around, trying to find something for Souji to at least look at. "There really is nothing here, huh?" She pointed at a rice field. "But I guess that's what makes it nice… then again, we don't have anything to show to people from outside." Then, Chie snapped her fingers. "Oh yeah, we do have something on Mt. Yasogami… I think they're dyed clothes or pottery or something, but it's kinda famous up there." The small talk became more exciting as Chie added. "Oh wait, here we also have an inn, the Amagi inn! Yukiko's family runs it. It's like the pearl of Inaba!"

"Wow, cool. It's THAT famous?" Souji gave a questioned look.

"Yup! It's been on all sorta magazines!" Chie seemed energetic.

"Huh? No, it's not. It's… just a normal inn." Yukiko protested.

"Oh, no way! It's been going for generations, and it is what attracted the tourist to come here! It's a GREAT inn!" She shouted.

"I don't think that's entirely true." Yukiko said.

"Pfft… let's change the topic. So tell me, you think Yukiko's cute, huh?" Chie eyes went for Souji.

"…What kind of question is that?" Souji frowned.

"Oh, just answer it." She pushed.

"Well… it hard to say." He scratched the back of his head.

"Ohh, sorry. I didn't mean to put you on the spot right in front of her."

"Come on, don't start this again, Chie." Yukiko gazed down at her feet.

"She's really popular at school, but she never had a boyfriend. Kinda weird, huh?" Chie laughed.

"W-w-wait! You shouldn't believe that, okay? It's not true that I'm popular at school or that I've never had a boyfriend…" Took a moment to realize what she just said, Yukiko suddenly blushed and shook her head. "N-no, what I was trying to say is I don't need a boyfriend…" She paused."…that's not right… Geez, Chie…"

"Hehe, I'm sorry, it's just that this is our chance to talk to someone from the city and you barely said a word!"

As they walking down the Samegawa Floodplain, they noticed some flashing lights and sirens. Stopped by the commotion, they curiously approached the scene and saw that there were some people gathered around the yellow tape barrier.

"Where is it? I just got here." A housewife spoke.

"You're too late! The police just took her down a moment ago." Another housewife said. "But who could've thought she was hanging on a antenna, and oh, on my way here, I heard that a student found it, is it true?"

"Yeah, she's a high schooler. She was walking home when she discovered the body."

Someone died? Souji thought.

"Whoa, a body? Did she mean a dead body?" Chie said.

Souji could saw someone familiar through the crowd, his uncle Dojima. Dojima spotted Souji and slowly walked toward him while holding his jacket on his hand. "Hey, what are you doing here?"

"Did something happen here?" Souji asked.

"Well, you could say that. Anyway, what are you doing here? The school told you to avoid this area, didn't they?"

"Actually, no." He said bluntly.

"That damn principal…" Dojima sighed.

"Hey Souji, you know this man?" Chie nudged him.

"Oh, he's my uncle that I told you before."

"I'm detective Dojima, like he said, I'm his guardian. Uhh… Well, I hope you two be nice to him." He looked at Souji. "But you three should stop wandering around and head home immediately." He went back to the crime scene when a young man ran pass by him. He headed to a telephone pole and puked.

"ADACHI! When will you stop acting like a rookie? You want to be sent back to the station?" Dojima yelled at the young man.

"Ughh…ah… I'm sorry…" He wiped his mouth hard with the back of his hand and then went back.

"So this is what they meant in the announcement…" Chie's legs were shaking a little.

"What do they mean… it was hanging from the antenna…?" Yukiko started to tremble.

"A-anyway, I guess we should all go home." Chie spoke.

"Good idea." Souji said.

"Ok, we're taking off! Let's do our best, neighbor, starting tomorrow." Chie smiled at him and walked away with Yukiko.

Souji slid the door close behind him as he took off his shoe, leaving only his shocks on. "Welcome back." Nanako's voice came out.

"Oh, hi." Souji walked to the coffee table, where Nanako is sitting at, watching the TV. He sat across the table. The news was on.

"I guess dad is not coming home tonight…" She sounded sad.

"*Background music* Our topic for today's evening is about a bizarre case in a quiet suburb." The TV screen switched to somewhere that looks like the river bank. "Around noon today, a woman was found dead near the Samegawa River in Inaba. The body has been identified as Ms. Mayumi Yamano, a 27 years-old announcer at the local television station. Until, now the Inaba police department had revealed…"

"Gasp…! The I-Inaba police department! That's where dad works!" Nanako sounded surprised yet worried at the same time.

"Are you worried 'bout him?" Souji asked.

"Dad's a police so I guess thing like this happened." She looked back at the TV as the news went on.

"…the body was found hanging on an antenna, atop a local resident's roof. The authorities are uncertain why the body was in such a state. With the cause of death is also uncertain, the police continue to investigate whether this is an accident or a homicide…" The news continued on…

"…they found her on the roof… That's scary…" Nanako starred at the floor, with two hands place on her thighs.

"At Junes, everyday is Customer Appreciation Day. Come see for yourself, and get in touch with our products!" The news had ended when Nanako and Souji didn't notice it, and was replaced by the Junes commercial.

"Ah, it's Junes!" Nanako shouted when she heard the familiar song, and quickly repeated after it. "Every day's great at your Junes!~"

"Wow, Nanako. You really like this song, huh?" Souji smiled at his cousin.

"Yeah, and it's popular at my school, too!" She seemed somehow happier, and forgot all about what happened previously. She kept on singing the same words again few more times.

Souji started to laugh…

Author's note: Well, what else can I say? Second chapter's done! I did some 'change' in there so it can have more (ahem…) Chie's moments :P The main pairing is Chie x Souji _ I couldn't see why people don't choose her. I chose her 'cuz she's my type of girl ^_^ Haha, I am the author so I have the power to control my story however I want HWAHAHAHA! Put that aside, what do you think? Reviews would be nice.
