Chapter 1

The Fool

"Welcome to the Velvet room." A voice of a creepy man ring through my head. I slowly opened my eyes and was in a Club room, that was in the color of velvet all around. I was sitting down on a bar table and sitting right across me was a creepy old man with a long nose and bulging bloodshot eyes. Wearing a black suit with white gloves.

"Who are you...?" I simply asked him.

"My name is Igor...Please to meet your acquaintance. There's another resident of the Velvet room but will not be able to come this time." I looked around the room and saw how bizarre it was before asking another question to the long-nosed man.

"The Velvet Room. What is this place?"

"The Velvet Room is a place existing between dreams and reality, mind and matter...It has been a year since we had a guest." He then waved his hand and a document appeared, before me with a quill pen in a inkpot.

"Before we continue, I would like you sign this. Do not worry, it only states that you will take full responsibility for your actions." Something was written on the paper. I chooseth this fate of mine own free will. Below was a blank to sign my name. Without hesitating, I took the feathered pen and written my name on the paper that would bind me for my responsibility for something. I didn't really care and just wrote down my name.

Signed, Kai Akira

I put the quill pen back on the inkpot and Igor smiled. Well he always seemed to be smiling and in just a second the contract along with the quill pen and the inkpot disappeared.

"Am I dreaming?" I asked.

"Indeed, you are fast asleep of your world as we speak." Before he continued, a velvet-colored key began floating in front of me. "Hold on to this..." I grabbed the key and looked at it before looking at Igor again.

"The next time we meet. You shall come here of your accordance. By then, I shall introduce you to my assistant and shall explain further...'Til we meet again." After those words I soon lost my consciousness and was drifted to sleep.

Monday

April 8th, 2013

I woke up on my bed, not curious but wondering what just happened. Was it all a dream? Or did it meant something. I felt something on my hand and it looked like the key that the man, Igor gave me. So it wasn't a dream... I stood off my bed and got dressed up in my winter clothes. A grey jacket unzipped with a black shirt on, with blue jeans and white sneakers. As for my appearance I had black hair that has a tail in the back hair going down shoulder-length, I had a light build and crystal-turquoise colored eyes that had an uncommon color hue and my height was about 5'8''. I got my black hair from my father who was Japanese, and my eyes from my mother who was actually a foreigner from England. They both fell in love with each other at first sight and poof I appeared into this world. Today, I had to pack up, since I'm going to be moving to one of the dorms of Iwatodai tomorrow, most kids would be nervous to be moving away from their hands. Not for me, I was actually born and grew up there but four years ago, I had to move because of my dads business trip and after talking to my parent's three weeks ago, I was able to convince them to enroll me to Gekkoukan High as a Junior. I really don't remember much about my childhood, but I know that I have memories of my childhood friend, Rin Hitoshi. After moving away, I lost all contacts with him and was afraid that he would forget about me. But before I moved, we made a promise.

Hey Rin, I don't want to go.

Why's that?

I'm afraid that you'll forget about me, once I'm gone.

Oh well...don't worry, I won't forget you. Its a promise. Also, promise me. That you'll return back, no matter how long it takes.

Its a Promise!

And in a few days, I'll be able to fulfill my promise to him. I ruffled my black hair around and smile, while continuing to pack up my stuff.

Tuesday

April 9th, 2013

I arrived at the Tokyo station with my parents, carrying my bags filled with my clothes and living necessities.

"I can't believe you're leaving." My dad smiled. While I saw a hint of sadness in his face.

"Don't worry dad, I'll come visit you guys if I have the time." I smiled. I looked over to my mother who was crying.

"*Sniff* You grown up to be such a fine young man." My mother continued crying, while my father was trying to calm her down. Thats when I heard the train to Iwatodai was departing.

"Attention all passengers. The train to Tatsumi Port Island is now leaving. Please board immediately." With those words, I headed to the train while waving farewell to my parents.I headed inside where I put my bag into the storage compartment and sat down. Looking outside the window and seeing my parents still waving at me.

Don't worry about me. Mom and Dad I'll be fine. The train began to left towards Iwatodai, as I saw my the distance between me and my parents. As the train headed off at a pace.

Evening

Near Midnight

"Attention passengers, we are now heading to Iwatodai." Hearing that I woke up from my nap and checked my phone to check the time. It's already 11:30. After 15 minutes the train arrived at the Iwatodai station.

"Iwatodai. This is the final train bound for Tatsumi Port Island. Please take care to board before our departure." I took out my bags and waited for the train to stop before exiting it and heading outside the station. Before I knew it, It was almost midnight, 11:55. I looked at my map and headed to the dorms.

Midnight had struck, but something strange happened. Everything turned green and water turned into a red substance, almost like blood? Their we're coffins everywhere too and the streets was empty. What's going on? As well all the power from the city shutted down. Did a power outage happen? I looked at my phone and saw that it was off. This is weird. It was fully charged when I checked it the last time. Something's going on. Not wanting to think about it anymore, I fast my pace to the dorm and in a few seconds I soon arrived. I entered the building with a bell ringing and saw that I must be in the living room. This is a pretty nice place. I headed over to sign in sheet and saw the names of the people that currently live in the dorm. It seems like that theres only one person, including me living in this dorm. When I looked at the name, I was astonished.

Hitoshi Rin

"Is somebody there?" I heard a familiar voice. When I looked at the stairs, I saw a man with black hair, similar to mine but only much more lighter tone than mine, that has a bang that almost covers his eyes. He had silver-grey eyes, that looks like a wolf's eye, he was also taller than me, I say around 6' and has a average build. I also seen him wearing the Gekkoukan High uniform, which was a collared shirt with a black bow tie. He wasn't wearing the school blazer like me, instead he wears a black jacket with a hoodie. When I finally he got a good look at me, his expression started to soften.

"No way, Kai is that you?" He asked. Just hearing that. I looked a bit shock, and soon was smiling.

"Its been a while, Rin-san." I said. He slowly walked up to me, and lightly smile.

"Its been a long time, since we seen each other." He said.

"Yeah, it has been." Soon everything that was green started to fade away and soon the power was back on. Me and Rin decided to catch up with each other, before I explained to him that I will be attending Gekkoukan High as a Junior like him.

"I see, so you decided to transfer to Gekkoukan by choice. Also, something weird's going on."

"Yeah, I noticed it. As soon as it struck midnight. The power went out and when I looked at my phone it was dead too. But now..." I looked at my phone again and it was turned on and still had a bit of juice left it in. "So is their a reason, why we're the only ones living in this dorm?" I asked. He shrugged.

"Honestly, I don't know why. A week ago, I got transfered to this dorm and had to move from my old dorm. They also said that another person would be living here, but I didn't expect it to be you." I started to felt sleepy and yawned.

"Are you tired?" I nodded my head. Rin then picked up one of my bags and I carried the other to the second floor where my room was on the far left corner. We entered the room, and he placed my bag inside while I looked around the room. It had a sink, a desk where I could study, a small TV, and a bed.

"Tomorrow meet me near the monorail. We need to take it to get to the school." I nodded my head, and he left my room where I jumped on my bed and fell asleep.

Wednesday

April 10th, 2013

*Yawn* I woke up, still feeling very tired and looked at the time. I had to meet Rin at the monorail in about 10 minutes, so I lazily got up and dressed up into my uniform. I weared a white collared shirt, with my black ribbon tie, that was tied very loosely since I was very lazy to even tie properly with a school blazers that I left unbuttoned. I grabbed my school bag, left the dorm and headed to the monorail, where I saw Rin wearing his hood and staring out of nowhere, where he noticed me.

"Oh there you are. Ready to go?" I nodded my head and we headed into the monorail and as it continued on its way to school. I noticed a wide ocean view outside the window, and looking in astonishment.

"Yeah, the best part of this ride is the view of the ocean." Rin replied. We soon arrived to the man-made island and entered the school, where Rin stop.

"Well this is as far as I can go. You should head to the faculty office." I nodded my head and Rin left me. Leaving me to head to the faculty office. Before I did, I checked the class roster and saw my name on class 2-F, I also noticed Rin's name on class 2-F. We were both on the same class.

When I got to the office. I saw a woman that had short brown hair, and grey eyes. She looks like she's in her late 20's. She soon then noticed me.

"Ah you must be the new transfer student." I approached and stand next to her, where she began to read my file.

"Kai Akira. 11th Grade. So you grew up here in Iwatodai, and moved to Tokyo four years ago. Let's see, two years ago you...Oh my! You got into a car accident and suffered head trauma. I'm really sorry on what happened." Her happy expression changed to a expression of guilt. I still have a scar on my forehead that isn't visible way back from when that happened.

"Its okay, it was nothing serious. I just lost some memories from my past thats all." Her expression then changed back.

"I'm Ms. Toriumi. I teach composition in this school." I smiled and shook her hand.

"Its nice to meet you, Ms. Toriumi."I soon noticed that she was staring at me intently for some reason, and still held my hand.

"Um...Is something wrong?" She soon snapped out of it and let go of my hand flustered.

"Oh! I'm sorry. You just remind me of a late student, I taught four years ago." She soon regained her composure and continued.

"Have you seen the class assignment?" I nodded my head.

"You're in 2-F thats my class. But first we need to go to the auditorium. The welcoming ceremony will be starting soon." I followed her to the auditorium, where I saw Rin and notice a empty seat next to him. I sat down next to him and he smiled.

"Guess will be in the same class. Starting today." He replied. I smiled back and the ceremony began to start. A woman in her early 20's wearing a black peacoat, with a white scarfs and was wearing boots. She had dark red long hair and dark red eyes. She was also on the stage. She must be the directness of the school. I thought to myself.

"Who's she?" I asked, Rin.

"Thats Mitsuru Kirijo. She's the Directress of the school and the head of the Kirijo group." I was a bit surprised. Seeing that the Director...no Directress of the school, is the head of the Kirijo group. She began her speech.

"As you begin this school year, I want each and one of you to enjoy this year both as an individual and in groups..." She continued on her speech, for about a half hour. Before you know it, me and Rin began walking towards the class.

"Alright everyone, today we have a transfer student that will be joining us." I then introduce everyone in front of the class.

"I'm Akira Kai. I hope we can all get along." I said. Ms. Toriumi looked around the room and then noticed an empty seat between a girl with wavy long hair down her waist, that have the tip of the hair dyed in ice blue. She also had icy blue eyes, and was around shorter than me and the other seat seated a kid with wavy dark-green hair, with green eyes. He wears headphones and had his school blazers unbuttoned like mine. Wearing a white shirt that says 9 in orange and is wearing regular jeans. He looks very calm and seems to have this sort of aura surrounding him, that make people feel at ease when their near him.

"Kai, why don't you sit between Michiko and Daikurou?" I nodded my head, and sat between the black-haired girl and the silent boy. I then heard some chattering between all the boys, except for Rin, and the boy sitting next to me.

"Lucky bastard."

"He gets to sit next to Michiko-san. I envy him." I wonder why their at mad at me, just for sitting next to her. I just didn't worry about it, and continued to listen to the lecture.

After School

The first day of school, seemed to just passed by and Rin approached me with a light smile.

"So did you like the first day?" I gave a simple response to him.

"It was alright." I looked over to Michiko-san. As she just packed my bag next to me and left.

"She seems scared of me..." I said. Rin looked at me with a nod.

"So you read her expression?" I nodded my head. Ever since I was little, I had this ability to read a person expression to what they truly feel, even when their not showing it. The only one that knows about my strange ability is Rin.

"Kawazoe Michiko. She's a pretty popular girl in campus, both girls and boys. However, she gives us guys the cold shoulder and seems to just talk to girls." Rin explained.

"I see..." I then stare over to the silent green-hair boy.

"Thats Daikurou Itou. We call him Daiki, he's a very calm guy that people would tell his problems to. Because of this strange aura around him that ease a person." I nodded my head and stood up from my desk and grabbed my school bag and the both of us left the school and headed back to the dorm.

Evening

Dorm

When we got to the dorm, we had an unexpected visitor. "Ah so you two must be the new tenants." It was Mitsuru Kirijo.

"Aren't you the Directress of our school?" I asked, while Rin took off his hood. She then smiled.

"Indeed. So you two must be Gekkoukan high school student." I nodded my head.

"So what are you doing here?" Rin asked.

"I'm not only the Directress of the school. But I'm also the dorm manager. This dorm belong to the Kirijo group." She explained.

"I see." I nodded my head. She looked at me and she seemed to be staring at me intently. Just like Ms. Toriumi earlier before.

"Is there something on my face? I asked. She shook her head.

"No, you just remind me of a old friend. Also, you have charming eyes. Its very rare to see someone who's japanese with those color eyes" I blushed a bit for that statement.

"Well I'm actually half-japanese. My mother was a foreigner from England, that have the same color eyes as me." She seemed a bit surprised.

"Oh! Is that so?" I nodded my head.

"Also, do you have any questions?" I raised my arm.

"Are we the only two tenants that are living in this dorm?" She nodded her head.

"You two are the only current tenants. But there will be more people that will move into the dorm."

"I see..." Rin then raised his arm.

"Will we be living here for the entire year?" He asked.

"Oui." She said in french. I looked over to her and I could tell that she seemed worried. But I chose not to ask her, since she a bit surprised and will began asking me questions. Plus it was almost midnight and I was very tired. In just a minute, midnight would struck. Which brought me back, thinking that it might happen again. In just a few seconds it would be midnight.

Midnight struck, and everything turn into a shade of green and the power went out.

"Oh it happen again. Just like last night." I said. I looked over to Mitsuru and she seemed shocked.

"No...this can't be." She said. She looked over at the two of us and had a serious expression on.

"You two follow me." We nodded our heads, and we headed up to the fourth floor towards a big door. Inside the room was a control panel with a screen and a few chairs surrounding a table, I was unsure on what's going on.

"What's happening?" I asked.

"Its the dark hour." The Directress said, while looking quickly around the room. Trying to find something.

"The dark hour?" Rin replied.

"Its a hour between 11:59 and midnight. Its sort of a hidden hour... I thought 'he' stopped it." She said, with a sad look. She then found what she was looking for. It was three guns that had S.E.E.S labeled on it.

"Hold on to this. You'll need it." She handed us a gun with it still on the holster. We didn't know what was going on, but we decided to listen to her and strapped the holster on us, with the gun inside it. She then strapped the holster on her leg too and took out a Rapier, a sword, and a pair of knives. She gave me the knives, while the the knives were given to Rin. She wielded the rapier. "Follow me." We nodded our heads and we headed towards the roof, where she unlocked the door and locked it from behind. Rin was a bit panicked.

"Just what the hells going on?" He was mad because he wanted an explanation. I however looked over and noticed something floating in the air. It was a skinny black shaped figure, that was wearing a jester hat. Holding a staff of some sort. It had a blue mask that had a roman number 'I' on it. The both of them soon notice after.

"What is that thing?!" Rin said in horror. Mitsuru reacted and she took out her gun and pointed it to her temple. Me and Rin looked in shock. I was speechless, while Rin was trying to prevent her from shooting herself.

"Wait stop!" A blue aura soon began to surround her and she pulled the trigger while shouting out a word.

"PERSONA!" The sound of glass shattered and a woman wearing a red mask, with golden buds on her head. She weared a royal blue dress, with a few spiky golden metal on her arms and waist, and a bulldog looking emblem on the center of her waist. Holding a metal chain.

"Artemisia, Bufudyne!" The woman froze the man into a solid block of ice and then shattered after. But the attack seemed unaffected.

"What? It neutralize all Ice attacks?!" The dark blob figure attack her, summoning fire and dealing critical damage on her. Knocking her out."

"Miss. Kirijo!" Rin ran to the Directress side and checked her condition. The strange dark blob figure was about to attack again and it seemed like time slowly seemed to stop. Is this the end? I thought to myself. As I saw my life flash before my eyes, but then...I looked at the gun thats in the holster, strapped on my leg. Without thinking, I took the gun out of it and placed it on my temple. I felt my heart beat fast and a blue aura surrounded me. I slowly pulled the trigger and said the same word, that Miss. Kirijo said earlier.

"Per...so...na" I heard the sound of glass shattered once more. As a male figure appeared above me. The man wear a long brown jacket with green trims, with a breast plating on his chest wearing a leather brownish-green shirt, with a shoulder plating on his right arm with a fingerless glove, a celtic symbol on his left arm, and wearing green pants with boots with platings on it. He wielded a composite bow, that glowed a green tint with a quiver with arrow on his back and a gladius on his waist buckles. Finally, he wears a mask on his face that concealed his face but only showing one eye hole that showed his eyes glowing green.

Thou art I...I am thou

And done with first chapter! This is my first time writing a persona story and who knew I write something like this. Also for those of you who don't know what Magh Ithe is, in Irish Mythology, its basically the first war in Ireland that was fought against the people of Ireland and Fomorians.

I would also like to thank the people, that put their Oc's in this story. I apologize for the author's. For having their OC's only making a brief appearance in this chapter, but next chapter they will be involved more.

Well thats all for now. Please review this, if you guys have any suggestion for me in this story or anything else that you like me to do.
