Yay chapter 3 is here. Since its Sunday I only have limited time to be on here I'll upload as much as I can.

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN PERSONA 3/FES/PORTABLE. THE ONLY THING I OWN IS MY OCs' AND THE GAME P3P. NOTHING MORE!

On with the story WHEE... Oh yeah my other OC is Clyde who holds Naomi's compendium. She only can do quest for him and update her two personae she has. But she gets a really good bargain out of him for doing the quest.

~April 8, 2009, Wednesday, Early Morning~

I woke up before anyone else as always and head straight to school after changing and having a quick breakfast. I didn't mind going with anyone, but as my reputation on school is well popular than you think. My solitude and tough exterior, but kindness to that little harsh attitude what's makes me who I am. I'm at the same level as Mitsuru-sempai, but I actually don't care about popularity.

Reaching the school grounds I heard two gossiping students talk about a girl, "have you heard the rumor?" One of them asked.

"Uhm, something about bathroom...?"

"No, not that one. I heard there was this first year student who stopped coming to school and stare at the walls all day. One time her mother tried talking to her but she was muttering something like, "It's coming. It's coming."

"Hm. what about that...?" Thought it was boring.

"You don't believe me!" The gossiping girl exclaimed.

Sighing, I continued to my class seeing that the rumor is pointless to deal with. In fact its not even my thing. Sure I might listen to them and sometimes think they are real, but my instincts and guts told me not to. It's just a waste of my time. Yeah I can act like a tomboy sometimes but hey at least I kept my girly side, which I sometimes hate time to time.

~Afternoon~

We have Ms. Toriumi for today, "Open your textbooks and we'll take a look at the first novel by... Zenzou Kasai. Ugh, why him. I'd rather teach Utsubo Kubota. I wonder why it's not in the textbook. Well, I'll just bring Kubota's book next time... Hey, Junpei! Were you listening? Who did I say was my favorite author is?

Junpei panicked and turned to Minato who was sitting next to him, "hey do you know who she likes?"

"Utsubo Kubota," the two transfers answered in unison.

Even if I wasn't listening much I knew who she likes. Geez, I don't know how he even pass the last few years. Hope he flunks this year. But I doubt that. I sighed looking out the window since my seat is right by the windows.

"Thanks man you save my bacon," Junpei being grateful.

~After School~

Well I have Karate club today so might as well go. Getting up to pack up my stuff, I left ahead of time. I also got to be back soon to greet the chairman since he is coming today. But why do I always have a bad feeling about him. Whatever. I shrugged off the bad juju of the chairman and started Karate Club. Minato and Minako went home by themselves for the rest of the day. So they went past the Iwatodai Strip Mall.

~Evening, Lounge~

Entering the lounge, the twins saw Yukari and the Chairmen sitting, talking about important SEES business.

"Oh they're back," Yukari stated.

"So, this must be the new guest..." the man got up and greeted the duo, "Good evening. My name is Shuji Ikutsuki. I'm the Chairman of the Board for your school. 'Ikutsuki'... hard to say isn't it? That's why I don't like introducing myself, even I get tongue-tied sometimes... Please, have a seat." He led them back to the sofas. "I apologize about the confusion regarding your accommodations. However, it may take a while longer before you receive the proper room assignment." The brown suit, glasses, man introduced and explain. "Is there anything you like to ask?"

Minato and Minako somehow felt an aura about him to, but don't know if it's a good one or bad one. But it seems the bad one is emitting from him the most. But they just shrugged it off for the time being.

"Why are you here?" Minato asked so suddenly and bluntly.

"Why? To welcome you, of course," he answered nonchalantly. "Well, to be honest, I do have other business here. Speaking of which... Where's Mitsuru, Yukari?"

"She's upstairs," she answered.

"As diligent as always. Although it doesn't hurt to come down and say hello... Is there anything else?" The long tan haired man commented and turned to the twins.

"Who else lives in this dorm?" Minako in turn asked.

"There are six that live in this dorm. You two, Yukari here, a junior named Hikari, Mitsuru, and another senior, Akihiko Sanada. I hope you all get along," he replied. "Any other questions?"

Minato and Minako wanted to say that they saw something strange. It feels like they will be BS in it so they said no.

"Well, I hope you have a successful school year. Now if you'll excuse me..." he smiled getting up and started too walked off. "I bet you two are tired from all the excitement. You should get some rest. As they always say 'The early bird catches the bookworm!' ...Excuse for the pun," chuckling to think it's funny as he left.

"You'll get used to his lame jokes," Yukari irritated, she retorted

It was true Ikutsuki's joke is really lame. Goes all the way down the drain pipe and ending up in the sewers where the sewage monster will be created. And take chaos to a whole new level of 'WTF' moment. Everyone will be screaming in terror and a mob will form chasing the chairmen away. Wish that was real, huh? Well, it's not real, so don't expect it to happen.

~Late Night to Dark Hour~

Yukari, Mitsuru-sempai, and I were sitting in front of a huge computer, monitoring the two who were sleeping.

"Working hard?" The Chairman arrived in the command room checking our progress. "So how are they doing?"

"They went to bed a little while ago. They are asleep now," Mitsuru answered. "Mr. Chairman, do you think they...?"

"Well, let's wait and see for now. The Dark Hour is approaching.

~Port Island Station Outskirts~

Music, gangs, smokers, drinkers, and the drunks all crowed here at night. And one individual who is a student at Gekkoukan High was waiting there for someone. He checked his blue colored key chained phone to see if they text back or anything. But to his disappointment, there were no signs at all to show if the person he was waited canceled or not. Two girls left to follow one of the guys and throwing their can of beers away by the student's feet. To the male's dislike he just shrugged them off.

"We have brought you the amazing electronics made by the Kirijo Group. At the tone the time is 12 am," the radio commercial echoed through the speakers as the student saw the time changed on his phone.

As the male civilian got up he notices something changed. The moon is nearly full that glowed yellow. The sky is green. Blood pooling everywhere and coffins has him surrounded. He started to panic when the instant background changed. Breathing heavily in fear, black goop dripped down on his temple. His grip loosened on his phone making it drop on the blood stained ground. Gripping his head the black oozed even more covering his hand and dripping to the ground. He screamed in terror and collapsed making a squishing, gurgling sound.

~Command Room~

"Hmm... They are still sleeping," Ikutsuki continued the observation. "The Dark Hour occurs every day at 12 midnight; you could say it's the 'hidden' hour. During this time, an ordinary person transmogrifies into a coffin, and is oblivious to all that occurs."

"Then they must be..." Yukari added, but trailed off.

"As you can see, they retained their human form. They're asleep, but they are definitely experiencing the Dark Hour. The only question that remains is whether or not they have the potential. Although, they must, if they didn't 'they' would have preyed on them by now."

"Scary..." Yukari added again, clenching her fist to her chest.

"In any case, we should continue to monitor them for a few more days."

"Yes, Sir," Mitsuru nodded and continued to work.

"I feel kinda bad, though, spying on them like this..." Yukari said disbelieving on our little '"reaserch."

After monitoring the two, we decided to rest since we have school tomorrow. And of course I was disturbed by a little boy: Pharos. Not now. I'm tired.

"Are you ready for the ordeal that's coming tomorrow?" He asked smiling his childish looks like he knows everything.

Nodding and mumbling that I need sleep. He agreed to leave me be and said that 'he'll see me soon' and 'good night' along those lines.

~Velvet Room~

Minato and Minako felt like they were gliding through the checkered floor, leading to a blue glowing door. Upon entering there was a man with a long nose, bulging eyes, and in a suit who has his hands folded on the table. There were two males and a female in a blue attendant uniform. One of the male who has a blond to silver hair which is slicked back leaving a small strand to curtain the bridge of his nose. Golden eyes wearing white gloves and a blue bell boy outfit. The other male who has spiky white hair, which is the same as the other two, golden eyes, and wearing the same bell boy outfit, but blue gloves. The female is wearing a blue dress with targets on it; her hair is like an apple cut, golden eyes, wears black stockings, and blue gloves. Each of them is holding a thick tome. The room has a seat for the man in a suit and the person across from him, a table that's circular. As the room endlessly goes up with flashing lights, the gates were sealed with a clock ticking away time at a fast pace.

"Welcome to the Velvet Room, my dear young guests. My name is Igor. ...I am delighted to make your acquaintance," said the long nose man with a hint exaggeration in his voice. "This is Theodore, Elizabeth, and Clyde. They're a resident here like myself."

"Pleased to meet you," they all said in unison.

"This place exists between dream and reality, mind and matter..." Igor explained. "It's been years since we've had a guest. Especially three," he waved his hand and two contracts appeared on the circular table.

"Is that the one we signed at the dorm?" Minako asked as she turned to her brother.

He nodded as he saw the red booklet contract. He checked the other one that was bounded in black cover to notice the name the person signed was... Hikari, Naomi. But something about the name was biting his brain to remember something. Even he sensed his sister compensating on the name. But they decided to shrug the feeling off.

"Only those who have signed the contract can enter this place..." Igor continued. "Henceforth, you shall be welcomed here in the Velvet Room. You are destined to hone your unique ability, and you will require my help to do so. I only ask one thing in return... that you abide by the contract and assume responsibility for the choices you make.

They both nodded their heads saying, "We understand."

"Hold on to this..." he waved his hand again and two Velvet Room keys appeared onto their hands and floating slowly down into their pockets. "'Till we meet again..." As he said that they started to glide out of the room back to reality.
