Chatter could be heard throughout the Inn; people blissfully unaware of anything other then the fact that they were here to relax. But still.

How can no one see this shit?!

King was currently sprinting back to the main hall, charred spots of electricity hitting every wall and floor. It would even hit the people if the lightning wasn't phasing through them. The giant bird ran around the corner, screeching as it flaps one of it's wing, electrical plumage heading straight for King. Just barely making it out of the hallway to the main one he dove for the floor, the feathers passing right over him, hitting a few lights and shorting them out. He quickly got up and ran towards the dining hall, the avian right on his tail. Getting near a table he quickly summoned Zetsubo.

Getting close is way too dangerous! Throw those tables at her! He commanded running off to the right as Zetsubo pick up the square wooden board, chucking it directly towards the bird. The bird cawed, head-butting the table. Zetsubo flew towards another table, more in a rectangular shape. He quickly turned on swinging it at the avian, who was about to dive bomb him with it's beak. The board collided with the right side of it face.

Yes! Good job Zetsubo! King cheered from behind a counter. Wait a minute!... Despite the blow the bird didn't even react as the table split in two, it's speed remaining the same about to hit Zetsubo. He quickly drew his sword, the beak clashing with the side of the blade, but the speed and force of the bird sent Zetsubo flying back, crashing into a window.

King tried to hold back a scream as he felt the pain and feeling of shard glass scape his back, failing miserably as he slumped against a wall opposite to his persona. Eye closed, he looked up to see the bird about to flap his wings. Z-Zetsubo, you got to block that! He pleaded as Zetsubo struggled to put up a defensive stance from his position; he held up a boxer's guard as his knees went up to block the lower half of his body. A monstrous caw came as it flapped harshly, feathers hitting Zetsubo's arms and legs before a discharge came out.

King wailed, or at least would if the electricity didn't stop him from doing so. Those random uncomfortable shocks he would get from accidentally touching someone. This was so much worse. So much worse. He felt Zetsubo return to him as his body shook violently, drool slowly falling at his mouth as his blurry vision saw the shadow roar in victory. He wasn't sure what it was, but he slowly struggled to lift his left hand, managing to snap despite the pain. A small amount of fog appeared as he got enveloped in it. Never forgetting the frightening caw as he slipped out of consciousness.


"Ki-!"

What's… what's going on. His eyes slowly opened. It was still blurry as he saw a strange colored blob. It looked weird but he noticed the strain panic in it's voice.

"Kin-!" It shouted again. King groaned, everything felt a mute as he struggled to get a better look at the blob. Whatever it was, it sounded sad, almost broken.

"King!" King vision got more clear as his eyes shot open. He came face to face with another pair of golden eyes, ruined by the tears flowing out of them. He stared for a few moments, still a bit disoriented until his eyes widen.

"Mom?" he said in shock. He quickly noticed that he was back in his room on the floor, upper half of his body laying on her lap.

"Oh thank goodness!" She cried as she hugged him tightly. "I was so worried about you! I came home and I thought you were just sleeping, but when I tried to wake you up, you didn't stir." She sniffed. "You didn't even budge! I thought something happened to you again!" she choked out. King looked at himself, still wearing the same clothes from before, even his shoes. On top of that, the darkness outside his window showed it was already night. It wasn't odd for her to instantly think something was wrong.

How long was I in there for? How long was I even out for?

For a while. I managed to heal up thou external wounds, but that was all the strength I had. I'm sorry.

Zetsubo somberly apologized. King grimaced knowing that on top of making his mother worry again, he could feel his guilt as well as frustration over his lost. Raising his arms, he hugged her back.

"I-I'm sorry I scared you." He said pulling her away, giving a tired smile. "Guess I was just more tired than I thought." He raised his hand, gently removing a few tears from her eyes.

"Was that really it?" She whispered before shaking his hand off her head. "No. I'm sure I'm just overreacting." She sighed as she let go of King. "Everything has been so crazy lately that I just got scared. I'm sorry."

"N-no I get it!" King quickly defended, scratching his head. He bit his lips quickly looking outside again. He got up and patted her head. "You want some Chinese?" he asked, anything to make her feel a bit better.

"Don't worry. I'm fine." She wearily smiled. "I think I'm just going to head to bed." She must've seen a pain look in his eyes cause she pinched his cheek. "Really! Stop worrying! I just had a tiring day today." She said with a smile more genuine but he couldn't help but feel his guilt increase, simply nodding as she quietly giggled before heading downstairs. "Don't stay up too late!" she yelled as she reach her room.

Just like that, her door closed. Silence resonating in the house as King stood there for what felt like hours. He gritted teeth, clench fist and shaking body did little to make him forget what happened. Those limb ripping claws, that sharp beak. That trembling caw. To say King wasn't scared was an understatement. He was terrified but it was overshadowed by a different feeling. After gathering the nerve to perform a crime, it went wrong. After trying to fix it, it's going wrong. He can't even leave it like this cause he knows the next time the fog comes..

He wanted to laugh. He felt the need to laugh. Anything to just ignore the current hopelessness he was facing right now. But then for a brief moment he saw his mom's pained face. In another moment he then saw another face.

"Thank You."

It was faint of hopefulness. A renew appreciation towards life that made him think. No it made him remember why he couldn't just give up on this.

Zetsubo… If you really are me… then you know how I feel. King said with a determined look on his face.

I'm ready to redeem myself. Zetsubo responded, frustration turning into vigor, determined to slam a gigantic bird into the ground. King moved too his computer, typing away online. If that bird had his weakness, he simply just had to find a way to counter that.

It's best I don't use the fog at home anymore.

I also can't afford to mess up anymore. Even if I give them a week to rescue her,

I rather give them as much time as I can.

I'm… the only one who can fix this…


April 18th 2011

The sky was filled with clouds as everyone walked to school. Despite being Spring, it was just one of those days where everything felt a bit chiller than normal.

A small sneeze could be heard among the pack of students close by; their eyes glancing at the person and eyes glancing with curiosity before turning away. The person just rolled her brown eyes, pulling out a handkerchief to cover her nose.

"What's wrong Saki-nee, catching a cold?" Naoki said, walking next to her.

"Probably just someone else talking about me again." Saki frowned as she occasionally saw other students glancing at her as they walked by. She'd be lying if she didn't expect this. It didn't make it any less annoying.

"Maybe you shouldn't have came to school today…" Naoki frowned as well.

"Why? I'm not going to hide." Saki said as she flipped her hair away from her right ear. "If they want to stare. Let them. It's not like I'm not used to it already."

"But-" Naoki was about to retort before she put a finger to have lips.

"If you feel that worried… you can buy me more creampuffs." She grinned with a wink. Her brother narrowed his eyes as he moved away from her.

"You mean after the ones you already stole from me!" he yelled.

"You weren't even eating them!" she retorted.

"I was saving them for the weekend!" he growled back.

"Well maybe you should've-" She would've finish her sentence but someone caught her eye. She locked onto a boy staring intently at his phone. His dreadlocks covering a part of his dark face and gold eyes. She felt her throat go dry as he passed her. Memories flooding into her for every step he took.

"I want to help…"

"I should've been here sooner…"

"I can't claim to know her but,"

She thought that it might've just been a dream, hoped that it was a dream. That she simply collapsed from all the stress. That the girl who looked like her and that monster was all made up. She couldn't deny it though even if she wanted to. The woman in her soul refused.

"Uh… Sis?" her brother snapped her out of her thoughts as she turned to a confused boy. He just shook his as he started walking towards school. " You should probably crave that sweet tooth of yours before hitting on someone. Calories." His cheeks was than greeted by her fingers, eager to pull them apart. "Ow! Ow! Sis stop!" No one bothered to pay the two any mind.


"You see by adding this to the equation you-" Mrs. Nakayama lectures had little impact to Saki as she tapped the pen against her book, blankly staring at the clock. Only when the bell rung for lunch did she come back to reality. She quickly walked out of the classroom, not to look for food, but for him. So many questions nagged at her since she last saw him. Making her way downstairs, watched as students poured out of the classes. Dreadlocks greeted her vision, watching them head towards the stairs on the other side of the school. So focused on catching up to him, she almost bumped into someone.

"Ah! Sorry!" she said before taking a better look. She almost backpedaled when she saw the red headphones around his neck. He turned around, eyes widening almost like his seen a ghost.

"S-Saki-senpai…" he breathed. His words made her chest clench.

"Hana…" Saki couldn't bring herself to finish. Even the nickname for Yosuke hurt. Nickname, more like a pet name. She dryly laughed to herself. She looked passed him noticing that the dreadlocked boy getting further away. "Sorry!..." she breathed out as she moved around Yosuke.

"W-wait!" Yosuke called out to her but she refused to turn around. She felt a hand grab hers and for a second turned expecting a pained look but instead met with a cool neutral face, the gray hair and eyes sporting it nicely.

"Senpai, please wait." He plainly said but with much conviction. Yosuke walked to his side, crossing his arms.

"S-sorry, but we really need to ask you something." He said, his eyes looking away from her. Saki turned her head seeing that the boy was completely gone. Sighing she looked back at the two boys and nodded.


"So you really don't remember anything Senpai?" Yosuke asked as the three stood by the railing on the roof; the boys looking at her while she leaned on the railing. She shook her head looking at the floor.

"Sorry. Everything was just so blurry that day that I can't remember." She wasn't completely lying. For some reason everything up to meeting her other self has been a complete blur, no matter how much she tried to remember. Between dealing with the customers at Junes and the rumors, everything just felt numb. But the past few days felt even more numb, like her mind wasn't there and her body just moved on autopilot.

"I see. I was hoping this might help with Amagi-san." Yu said with a slight frown. Saki perked up in interest.

"The heir to the Amagi Inn? Did something happen to her?" Saki question as the pained look in Yosuke's eyes made that clear.

"Yeah. She's been missing for a few days." Saki gasped at that as he continued. "Also, we're staring to think that people that show up on the Midnight channel are the ones who go missing."

She's heard of that channel before. It was something about your soulmate appearing on TV. She never gave it any thought at the time but if he mentioned it, she could only assume it was because she showed up on it at one point.

"I-I'm sorry I can't be of any help." She half-lied. She had an idea who might know about it, but to be honest she wanted to figure it out herself before making a decision.

"D-don't worry about it Senpai!" Yosuke quickly said, raising his hands in defense. "You had a lot happen to you. I'm just glad you didn't…" Yosuke paused, never wanting to think about that possibility.

She almost wanted to smile but the guilt only rose more. He cared that much about me and yet. She saw Yu pat Yosuke on the shoulder, before staring back at her.

"Thank you for the help Senpai. Yosuke, I'm going to go help Satonaka-san." Yu said as he stared to walk towards the door.

"Yeah. That's a good idea." He nodded. "See ya Saki-senpai! I'm glad your back!" he said with his signature wink before following after Yu.

"Hana!..." No she couldn't call him that anymore. "Yosuke! Wait!" she yelled. The two turned back, surprised to see a distraught Saki looking back at them. She felt herself grab the hem of her skirt as she bit her lips. "I…" she paused. She didn't know what to say. She felt like she had no right to apologize. She wanted him to hate her, at least to make it fair. "I'm sorry! But I-"

"Senpai." His voice, so cool and collected, stop her from saying anything. He gave her a smile but she knew there was sadness behind it. "I always had a feeling. But it doesn't change anything. I'm still glad you're here." Saki flinched at the kindness coming from him. As far as she was concerned, she honestly felt that no one outside Naoki would care if she died.

"I'd feel bad if I simply let her die!"

She didn't want to cry, she really didn't want to but a few tears slipped from her as she nodded, deciding the floor looked nice. She didn't see Yosuke try to walk up to her. She also didn't see Yu putting a hand on his shoulder, slowly shaking his head. After a bit the two nodded heading back down, determined to make sure Yukiko didn't suffer Yamano's fate.


School seemed to drag on, longer then it intended but the final bell finally rung. Saki quickly packed up an left the classroom. She couldn't afford to miss him again. She made way downstairs, briefly catching the boy head upstairs on the other side. She turned around, almost crashing into someone else. She quickly apologized. She saw him slowly walk up towards the roof. Part of her wanted to call out to him, but her curiosity got the better of her.

After he passed through the door, she decided to wait a few minutes before opening it, thinking about what to say when she confronts him. After taking a deep breath she opened the door and too her surprise, saw no one here. Nothing not by the railings, the sun roofs, not even behind the- wait.

On the opposite side of the door was a wall; a small pathway to another railing, but nothing else except a huge air conditioner. Between the conditioner and the railing laid a small cloud of mist. It was barely visible, but she could make out the blurry outline. She wasn't sure what it was but she felt as if it was calling out to her. She raised her hand out, reeling back as she felt the mist wrap around her.


I don't believe that-

Shush, I'm working here! King said as he wrapped Zetsubo's blade as well as his hands in… rubber bands. After spending enough time online, it became clear to him, some of his favorite manga didn't exist in this world but he could never forget his favorite pirate simian. Rubber was clearly the answer, or at least if Zetsubo gets hit, it won't hurt nearly as much. Done! He wiped the sweat off his forehead as he took a few steps back. It looked awkward, but hopefully this did it.

The two were standing around the main hall as Zetsubo slowly swung the blade. King could still feel Zetsubo's doubt but shrugged. He motioned his persona to follow him as they headed back to the hot springs. Nearing a corner he leaned out, as he saw the lady in the purple kimono, standing right in front of the door to the hot springs. King side eyed for a second before looking at Zetsubo. No need to confront her and from the last fight, it seems as if physical attacks aren't effective. Take that huge breath! Zetsubo did just that. Inhaling as much as he could before sending forth the icy mist that covered the whole hallway.

The lady took the attack full force, clearly off guard as she cawed loudly before glaring at the two. "O-oh I see you're back!" a small smile gracing her. "Trying to cause trouble again?" King only gave her a ugly frown in response. "I'm going to have to make sure you stay out for good thing time won't I!" she laughed as her body started to change.

"I don't play by anime rules! Zetsubo!" he commanded as Zetsubo took another breath. Pelting her with many ice shards. It wasn't enough to stop her from transforming, but the aggravated look in the avian showed that the sneak attack was a success. With that the two sprinted off as the bird gave chase.


Saki had no idea how many times she's opened and closed her mouth, staring at everything before her. It was the Amagi Inn, at least that's what she wanted to say. The patches of static, the static faces of people walking in, even the cage surrounding it.

"W—come to -he A-a-I I-. Pl-ase en—y y-u- s-ay." The woman said for the umpteenth time as another family, all full of static walked by her or rather through her. She flinched as she looked at herself before the attendant by the door. Reaching out, her hand went right through her.

"What is this place?..." she said to herself as she kept pushing her hand through the lady.

The sound of glass shattering could be heard as Saki looked up, the lady not even reacting too it at all. She waited until another group of family came through for her to go through the door.

"O-over here you vulture!" she heard a boyish voice yell followed by a bone chilling caw. Saki looked over at the dining hall. She simply stared, sure that the person she was looking for was over there.


Zetsubo was currently holding the back the bird with his rubber covered blade, King looking for anything he could use to turn the bird's attention towards him. As the two ran around the Inn trying to beat her with hit and run tactics; which relied on King catching it's attention why Zetsubo pelted it with ice, it came to the realization that Zetsubo was the only one who was hurting it. Since then it's only be attacking Zetsubo, sending it's feather trying to electrocute the despair Nagi.

Fortunately the rubber bands actually blocked a good amount of the electricity. Sadly the electricity was strong enough get burned, leaving him with just the blade. The bird kept pecking at him, tearing away at the rubber bands as Zetsubo kept blocking.

"I said over here!" King yelled, throwing a bunch of plates at it, not even reacting to them. This bird is actually smart! Zetsubo doesn't have that much left on him! Damn it, what do I do here?! King racked his brain as Zetsubo kicked off the bird and blew another icy blast at it. It grunted but soldier through and tackled Zetsubo, slamming him into a few tables. King stumbled for a bit as Zetsubo slowly stood up and breathed on some of the tables, becoming a giant ice block. As the avian started charging him again, Zetsubo tossed the block at it, shattering across the beak. It seemed more effective as it started to stumble back. Is it almost done?

It crowed harshly, it's eyes becoming more feral as it's entire body lit up in electricity. It crowed again as it started to flap it's wings wildly. The feathers crashed into everything, the tables, the ceiling, the windows. They couldn't dodge as they got pelted by feathers. Zetsubo disappeared as King leaned over the table.

D-Damn it… Are you serious?... King harshly breathed, sight getting a bit blurry. Even so he could see the avian stalked his way towards him, eyes still feral. He gritted his teeth, trying to summoning Zetsubo again but his body refused to moved. As he felt the bird near, his body starting shaking as he came to a realization.

Am… Am I really going to die again?

He felt himself shake more, begging his body move. Something. Please. Anything. He could only stare the bird cawed and open it's beak over his head.

"Persona!"

King felt a small amount of gust breeze by him as the bird left his vision, followed by glass shattering. He still couldn't move but he narrowed his eyes despite the blurriness. Did… did I do that?

No… Zetsubo painfully responded.

Then who- He could feel someone touching his back, slightly shaking him. The figure moved around to his vision. His vision was slowly clearing up as he came across a girl with light brown hair and brown eyes, wearing a female Yasogami uniform with black leggings. Behind her was some green looking human in leotard robe on a cloud.

"H-how?" He whispered as she gave him a small smile. He watched her expression became more serious, watching the bird starting to get up cawing. She left him, her persona right behind her. "W-wait! It's" he started coughing as his body started shaking again.

The bird looked at the new duo who stepped up. It was getting tired of being stopped of every little thing. It's wings shot up in electricity, aimed directly at them. Saki flipped the hair away from her ear as still stared the bird down. It was odd, she should feel scared but she could over feel a strong fire welling in her as she stared with a smirk. The bird must've felt her confidence, cause it sneered before firing off the feathers.

"Fujin." She said coolly as her friend took the bag of wind behind back and swung horizontally, a gust of wind slicing through all the feathers. The bird seemed shocked but only became more agitated when it saw Saki's smile. It clawed the floor before charging right at her. A lift from Fujin allowed her to sit in her lap, flying away as the bird stop and look up, only to be greeted with any slice of wind. It wailed in agony as Fujin kept swinging her wind bag, each blow worst then the last. After a few lashes, she stopped, looking on as the bird laid twitching before slowly becoming a small black puddle. Afterwards nothing. Fujin let Saki down, giving her a small tap on the forehead before disappearing.


Saki looked around noticing that the dining hall looked as if there wasn't a giant bird in here a few minutes ago as well as the fact that some of the static was gone. She would ponder this longer if not for the groaning of a certain individual. She rushed over too him as he slowly rolled off the table and tried to pick himself up. "Hey, you ok?" she asked watching him kneel as blue sparkles surrounded him.

"Y-yeah… Sorry." He murmured looking down. She tapped his head before holding her hand out. "Thank you." he said graciously as he grabbed it. "Um…Thanks for saving me." He stiffly bowed.

"Let's… just call it even." She said, flipping her hair again, more out of embarrassment then anything else. He just nodded as he looked around.

It looks like half the static is gone now. The rest of it is probably coming from the hot springs itself. He felt his body shake as he held his body up against a table. I need to keep going.. King turned to Saki would seemed to notice that some of the static was gone as well. "Senpai." King said in a low voice catching he interest. "I don't know how you got here, but you should go back."

"What?!" she growled, her eyes making him back up.

"W-wait! It's not because of anything bad!" he defended, raising him arm in front of him. "This place." He said with a sigh. "This place is dangerous."

"I've noticed." She simply replied. " but what is this place?"

"I don't know." He sighed, messing with his lock. "but beating these shadows seem to get rid of this static.

"A shadow?" Saki asked head slightly tilted. "You mean that giant bird?" King gave a tired smile, sitting down and patted a seat next to him.

"I'll tell you everything I know."

And so King told Saki everything, except for Izanami's existence and his previous world. He told her about the shadows, the other world to the best of his ability, what the midnight channel really was, the fog, his vision of a giant flaming phoenix, and…. His kidnapping.

"So you!..."

"Yeah." He finished with a wry grin. "I pushed her in, but!" he clenched his hands before sighing. "It wasn't suppose to end up like this!" he shook his head. " There was suppose to be a commercial or something then…she would be ok in the end." King bit his lips, upset that that he had to lie to her just after everything she did for. "Instead I got this place."

Saki just stared, not sure what to think. This guy, the same guy who saved someone like her when he had no reason too, was the reason that another person was in this world. She was angry to think about what could possibly be happening to the girl as they spoke. Yet, strangely, she couldn't bring herself to yell at him. He had the face of regret the whole time he explained everything he knew.

"That's why you should go back." King said as he got up. "This… this is my responsibility." He slowly walked to the opened door, leading back to the main hall before holding onto one of the corners.

Saki just stared at his grim determination. He was clearly stumbling, yet he looked dead set on finishing… whatever all this was. She felt her hands squeeze as she got up and walked pass him. He looked up, a bit disoriented but confused. In one quick motion she slapped him, causing him to stumble back before landing on his backside.

I… probably deserved that but damn! King couldn't help glaring at her as his brows twitched. "W-why?!" he yelled in annoyance. She simply stared at him, a hand on her hip.

"You can barely even stand and you plan on going further? Are you stupid?" She berated causing him to flinch. She didn't let up as her glare made him feel even smaller. "You almost just died!"

Yeah but... He grimaced as he looked away. That slap made him realize how hurt he really was. Even with Dia, his body still felt sore from that attack. He growled not at her but at himself, punching the floor. "I still have to go. I have to fix this…"

"How are you going to fix it if you're dead?" She knelt down as he looked at her, surprised by how soft her eyes were. "Jf you die then who else?" she said gently. King just stared, admittedly a bit pink from how close she was. There was something almost soothing from her words. Like she really believed him, despite their second meeting being unsatisfactory. After a second, he looked away and sighed.

"…You're right." King accepted begrudgingly, pouting a bit. "At least that stupid bird is gone." If nothing else hopefully there weren't anymore further ahead.

"Good… so let me know when you're coming back here next time." She smiled patting his shoulder. He gave a incredulous look.

"Uhh… No?" he deadpanned.

"What?! Why not?!"

"Because it's dangerous?" He said hoping it was simply enough to make her give up. He was wrong.

"I can handle myself just fine!"

"The bird you fought was weak against you, ya know? Not every shadow is that easy."

"Then teach me." She growled, getting fed up with his unwillingness to work with her. "You know even if you ignore me, I'll find a way back in here." He narrowed his eyes at her as a certain image began to play out in his mind.

Saki-senpai says I'm annoying, but she's even nosier than I am.

I'm starting to see what Yosuke means… King thought as he relented. He nodded seeing no point in arguing with her any longer. She grinned as she helped him up. Even though he was frowning, it wasn't long before it became a wry grin. I wonder if this is what Yu and Yosuke felt when they started all this.

A semblance of Trust.


The two returned back to the rooftop, Saki a bit surprised at how it was done. As expected, no one was around as the bell rung again.

Is that the bell for the clubs? He looked over and saw a few students walking out the school. He caught Yu in particular walking with Daisuke and Kou. Oh the sport clubs started today huh. A groan caught his attention as he turned to Saki stretching, her arms above her head.

"I didn't think Fujin would take that much out of me."

"Ya know, if you're that tired already, your gonna be in trouble tomorrow." He teased. She glared at him for a second before smirking.

"Just make sure you don't slow me down." She teased right back.

Oh, I see she's got some sass. He thought as he nodded, smiling before a thought came to mind. "Oh senpai wait!" he pulled out his phone. "It probably be easier for the both of us if we exchanged info." She agreed despite the small tinge of pink that crept up on her face as they exchanged numbers.


Since the two lived in the same area they decided to walk back together. They didn't speak to each other, rather it was used to just reflect on the past few days.

The broke off at King's house, saying their goodbyes as he walked inside. It wasn't completely dark yet so his mother wasn't home. He walked up to his room and plopped right onto the bed. I never thought a bed could feel so good~ After everything that happened, he felt like he could sleep forever. A buzz went off in his pants. He reached for his phone and saw there was a message from Saki.

SK: Hey. Sorry to text you so quickly but I just can't help but think about that weird place you know?

KS: Yeah I get what you mean. It's unnerving. I think its about halfway now though. So at least I can finish it tommorow.

SK: You mean "we". I'm serious don't leave me out of this.

KS: I don't think I could even if I wanted too :I

KS: By the way, Senpai do you remember anything from that night?

SK: …No, it's weird. No matter how hard I try to remember I just can't. All I remember is seeing… myself.

King frowned, knowing that meant Adachi was safe for now. Even if he decides to confront him now, without proof, he'll just deny it and at worse he could get arrested for disturbing the peace. I wonder if she had anything to do with this.

SK: Honestly, at first I thought you were the one who did it. A part of me still does. That's why I wanted to confront you.

King wasn't even mad, as far as she was concerned, he was the only connection to that world when they first met.

SK: but I think it couldn't have been you. I don't like that you threw someone else in there and I won't forgive you if someone turns up dead. But I don't think you're the murderer.

SK: If you think clearing that static will save Amagi-san. I'll help. I don't want anyone going through what I did.

King just stared at his phone, feeling the conviction in her texts. Wasted character potential. He could only think as he replied.

KS: I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if something happened to her. Of course, we'll clear the static and save Amagi-san.

SK: right! So tmrw on the school rooftop?

KS: Yep! See ya then. Also, seriously thank you.

SK: Like I said, we'll just call it even :P

King just smiled as he put his phone down. Saki turned out a lot different then he expected. Due to how most people perceived her back in his original life, he was a bit worried that she would be, well a bitch. I'm glad that I was wrong. She had no way to speak for herself so many just went off what they heard in the liquor store.

In the first time in a few days he felt lighter, like a boulder was lifted off his back. For the first time since gaining this power, he slept peacefully.


"Hey sis, where were you? I was waiting for you for awhile." Naoki pouted as Saki walked into the store. His eyebrows rose when she looked at her phone giving a small smile before looking at Naoki.

"Making a friend."


A/N: Oh wow. I didn't think I was going to pump out two chapters in one week but here you go. What do ya think? It was a bit hard thinking of her personality going off of what Naoki, Yosuke and those two bimbos said. I think I got an idea for it, or maybe I'm pulling crap out me butthole. Next time we finally explore the depths of the hot springs. (Ghost sounds) (cough) stay tuned.
