"That was interesting." Yu said before the fox jumped down from the top of the shrine and landed next to him. "I guess I should thank you for the leaf."

The moment Yu said that, the fox yipped in acknowledgement before running to the shrine and picking up a piece of paper.

"Huh, what's this?" Yu asked looking at it. "I wish to be able to play with my grandson more, was this his wish?"

The fox yipped in agreement with Yu's statement.

Thou art I… And I art thou… Thou hast established a new bond… It brings thee closer to the truth… Thou shalt be blessed when creating Personas of the Hermit Arcana…

Hermit, that's interesting, Yu thought. "Well thanks again."

Hearing that the Fox yipped before running off behind the shrine as Yu went back to the Dojima residence.

"Oh you're back, we were waiting for you." Dojima said calmly.

"Sorry uncle, I was just giving my respects at the shrine." Yu said.

"I see, yeah that makes sense." Dojima said thoughtfully. "Well I just wanted to apologize for not being able to take those days off, and since it's Children's Day I picked up something for you both."

"Really?" Nanako asked excitedly.

"Yeah, really." Dojima said before giving a small shirt to Nanako and a pair of swimming trunks to Yu.

"Wow thanks." Nanako said happily. "Cool, it has a picture on it."

"Thank you uncle." Yu said calmly.

"You're both welcome." Dojima said with a smile. "Though you two should head to bed, Golden Week is over."

"Yeah, good night uncle." Yu said.

"Good night big bro." Nanako said with a smile.

"Hey Yu, man can you believe Golden Week is already over?" Yosuke asked in annoyance. "I feel like we just got a break and now we're back in King Moron's class."

"Well what do you expect, anyway did you see the weather report last night?" Chie asked. "They say it's going to start raining tonight."

"Are you guys thinking what I'm thinking?" Yu asked.

"Yeah, we need to keep our eyes open tonight." Yosuke said.

"I agree, we can't let the killer hurt anyone else." Yukiko said in agreement just before the bell started to ring.

"Oh crap, we're late." Chie said nervously before the four of them ran into the school.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Narukami, there you are." Morooka said impatiently. "I've been looking for you."

"You've been looking for me?" Yu asked in surprise. "Is everything alright?"

"Don't give me any of your smart remarks, you should know that its health week and you haven't contributed anything so I signed you up to help out at the nurse's office after school." Morooka said. "So get moving."

"That's not fair." Chie said defensively.

"Quiet, or I'll have you join him." Morooka said angrily. "Well you heard me so get going."

"Right, sorry." Yu said walking out of the classroom.

"As for you…" Morooka started to say before Yosuke popped his head in.

"Sorry to interrupt but I really need Chie's help today." Yosuke said. "We're understaffed at Junes."

"Huh, fine get going before I change my mind." Morooka said in annoyance before Chie left the classroom with Yosuke.

"Hey thanks." Chie said thankfully.

"No problem, when I saw Yu leaving the room I figured King Moron must have been involved." Yosuke said. "Speaking of which, how is he?"

"So that's it, he wanted to know if the gauze could come in two months instead of one." Yu explained.

"Right, thanks for getting the message." said a first year student just before the door opened and someone walked in. "Oh Naoki, you're just in time to help us clean up."

"I was just getting my bag, so can I go home now?" Naoki asked quietly.

"Sure, I can help out here." Yu said.

"Right." Naoki said picking up his bag and leaving the room.

"Thanks for helping." the first year student said. "You didn't have to sempai."

"It's alright, I'm glad to help." Yu said calmly. "Actually, is Naoki alright?"

"Oh yeah, I guess you don't know. Naoki is Saki-sempai's younger brother." the first year student said.

"Oh, I see." Yu said thoughtfully.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Oh welcome home big bro." Nanako said happily.

"Thanks Nanako." Yu said. "Are we watching something before dinner?"

"Just the news, actually what were you doing after school today?" Dojima asked. "You're usually home before me."

"My homeroom teacher had me helping out in the nurse's office." Yu said calmly while taking his seat across from Nanako.

"In other news, a local biker gang continued disrupting the residents of the local shopping district." said a reporter. 'During the ensuing chaos, one of the apparent leaders attacked the camera crew."

"Hey what are you punks looking at?" asked an obscured male figure. "This ain't a show get lost."

"That voice." Dojima said in surprise.

"You recognize him uncle?" Yu asked.

"Kind of, well I know him through work. His name is Kanji Tatsumi, he got arrested for getting involved with these gangs. He said it was because they were keeping his mother awake, but I thought he stopped this whole thing and started going to school. Looks like I was wrong." Dojima said.

"Oh, well good night uncle. Night Nanako." Yu said.

"Good night big bro." Nanako said.

"Night." Dojima said calmly.

"It's almost midnight partner, do you think anyone will show up?" Yosuke asked.

"I don't know, but we should keep our eyes open just in case." Yu said calmly.

"I agree, hopefully the killer didn't make another move today." Yosuke said.

"We'll have to wait and see what happens." Yu said thoughtfully.

"Yeah, well see you tomorrow partner." Yosuke said.

"Right, see you Yosuke." Yu said hanging up his cell phone before turning to the TV as the midnight channel started showing a shadowy figure on the screen. "What, who is that?"

As you said that, the midnight channel ended without revealing who was on the screen.

(Yu has formed a social link with a fox and someone else has appeared on the midnight channel. Next chapter the identity of the newest midnight channel star will be revealed. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
