That morning, woke up again with me on the floor. I expected it, especially from me tossing and turning. I didn't wake up to my alarm, as the time said, '5:30am', so I decided to get changed. As I did my hair, I realized that I've been using the scrunchie that Machi and Kimi gave me. It was a royal purple scrunchie I had, Machi had a royal blue and Kimi had a royal green one. It was to unify the three of us as friends. If they were really my friends, why haven't they rung me? Gah! I'm overthinking things. Machi still might be pissed at me but she will cool off later on and Kimi might be out of Japan like she usually is.

As I passed I walked passed Dojima's door to go to the stairs, it was slightly ajar. I peered through and saw that he wasn't there. He must've been called early. I walk downstairs and took note that Nanako isn't down here. I looked at the front door and her shoes are still there. She must still be asleep, I can make breakfast and lunch for the two of us! I look through the cupboards and saw a loaf of sliced bread, eggs, and maple syrup. There was also a bowl of rice that was cooked, a case of takoyaki, shreds of chicken, and seaweed. Okay, I know what to do!

Time passed as I made french toast and fried eggs, drizzled with maple syrup for breakfast and for lunch is three sushi, four takoyaki and two scrambled egg sandwiches. "Morning!" It was Nanako at the stairs in her uniform. "Morning Nanako! I made breakfast and lunch for us!" Her face lit up and rushed to the table to eat her breakfast. "Wow! It's delicious! Thank you Yui~San!" She continues to eat as I ate with her. We took our bento boxes and made our ways to school. Students ahead of me were gossiping. "Hey, did you hear about the rumor?" "What rumor?" "Mayumi Yamano was at the Amagi Inn before she died. That's why Amagi~Senpai has to go there, to fight the press." "Really? I feel bad for Senpai..."

It was first period and my thoughts surrounded around last night. Even so, I tried to pay attention in class. "Hello everyone. My name is Kimiko Sofue, and I don't know how much you know about world history, but I'm an expert. First, a little about me. I love to use my dowser to find lost items, and there's nothing quite like a romance. In fact, world history ia a magnificent romance. History is like a river; it was born in the past and flows ever forward. I hope we can enjoy the profundity of history together. Hohoho." Ms. Sofue rambles. "And since this is my first lecture, I'll start with an easy question. Our transferee, Ms. Narukami, please stand up."

I do as she says and await for the question. I know quite a lot about world history so I hope she asks a question that I know. "When did A.D. - in other words, Anno Domini - begin?" I begin to go in thought. I know I know this. Hold on, let's do process of elimination. This has to do with Jesus and Christian beliefs. There is B.C. and A.D... B.C. is 'Before Christ', before Jesus was born... we live in A.D. so... "When Jesus was born?" I ask, hoping to be right. "Ah, so you seem to understand this well. And does anyone know what B.C. stands for? Oh, I'll just tell you. Before Christ, or the years before Christ was born. This is, of course, the way we count our years today, but wasn't adopted in Western Europe until the 15th century." She continues to ramble on and I sat down. Her rambles were actually intellectual and I felt smarter because of it.

~Time Skip~

School has ended but I still feel weird about last night. Where's Satonaka and Hanamura? I need to get this off my chest. "Y-Yo. Um..." Hanamura's voice brought me back to reality as I give cock my head. "It's, uh, it's not really that important, but... well, yesterday on TV, I..." This looks like it may take a while for him to speak about it so I rested my chin on my hands in a curious manner. "Oh, uhh... nevermind. Look, I'll tell you later. Ahaha..." "Yosuke, did you hear the rumor? Saki~Senpai's supposedly the one who found that body." Satonaka coming at the right time, now Hanamura will have to say it.

"I wonder if that's why she looked so down... she doesn't seem to be at school today either." Just then, Amagi stood up from her seat and Satonaka caught it. "Huh? Hey, Yukiko, are you helping out at the inn today too?" The long haired girl turned around and gave us a sad smile, "Things are really out of hand tight now... I'm sorry." and with that, she leaves. "Is it just me, or does Yukiko~San seem way stressed out today?"

"Well, I have heard on the way here along the lines of Yamano staying at her inn. Maybe that's the case?" I butt in as Satonaka nods, saying that they must be running her ragged. "By the way, did you see... it... last night?" She asks us as both Hanamura and I nodded sheepishly. "What about you?" my chin was still resting on my hands as I yawned. "I did! I seriously saw a girl! But... my soulmate's a girl? What's that supposed to mean?" I don't know, you into girls Satonaka? Not judging but, are you? "I couldn't tell who it was, but it was a girl for sure. Her hair was brown, about shoulder length. She was wearing our uniform, and..."

Wait, that sounds like the image I saw. Does that mean I'm into girls as well? "Hey... I think that's the same person that I saw." Hanamura and I said it and the same time, getting me freaked out. The three of us have the same soulmate? What does this mean... "How clear was your image Narukami~Chan? Did you see her face?" I contemplated a bit, going back to last night. "You see... it was blurry too. But that's not the crazy part. I started hearing something Shakesphere would write and my hand went through the TV. It then began pulling me it but the screen was too small so I couldn't go all the way." I look up and see that they shared the same expression. Oh great, they don't believe me.

"Wait, your hand went through the TV? How tired were you?" He pats my back, as if that's going to get the crazy out of me. "Well, I'm curious. Let's try it out on a bigger TV, at Junes!" Satonaka drags the two of us to the electronic department of Junes. Hanamura was yelling but I just stayed quiet all the way there. After some time, we made it to Junes. "Chie... don't do that ever again. I think you pulled my arm out of my socket." The boy's complaints made him fall on the ground. "Look, it's not just Narukami's thing I'm curious about. My family is looking into getting a flat screen TV and I need your help. Maybe even cut me a deal..."

The two went off a bit, discussing about TV prices. Now is the time to see if it was all a dream. Slowly, I extend my right arm out to touch the screen. I was expecting my hand to land on a flat, smooth surface. But not. The moment my hand touched the screen, it fell right through. "Guys, look! It wasn't a dream!" I called out to them as they turned around. Shock filled their faces. "Holy crap! You've got to be kidding me!" Hanamura came to my right side while Satonak came to my right side. "I think I can go further... Satonaka, hold my left hand." she grabs my hand as my body goes into the TV.

Their voices were slightly muffled and my vision was blurry. I couldn't see a thing. "Hey!...stop... pervert!" I don't know what happened but I felt someone hit my legs and my back before I fell more into the TV. I look up to see Hanamura and Satonaka, falling and yelling. They soon went past me and I began to flail. I closed my eyes, bracing myself for impact but I land on something squishy. "Huh? Am I going insane?" I sit up and realize that I didn't land on the surface. I landed on someone. "Oh my god, Hanamura I'm so sorry!" I stood, extending my arm for him to take. He does so and Satonaka stands up behind him.

"Got what's coming to you, huh?" She elbowed him in his ribs as I cocked my head. "You see Narukami~Chan, this idiot was looking up your skirt when you went head first into the TV. I tried getting him to stop but I tripped, pulling him with me." The moment I heard, 'looking up your skirt', all I saw was red. I came back about five seconds later to see Hanamura with a red cheek. "Anyway, what is this place? Wait, WHERE'S THE EXIT!?" The three of us look around and see that we're surrounded by fog on a stage.

"W-What? That can't be right! H-How can that be!" Hanamura regained his composure for a brief second before freaking out. "Hey guys... c-calm down. I'm sure that there is an expla..." I stop as my eyes dart to a shadowy figure in the distance. "N-Narukami~Chan?" The figure began to come towards us, "Guys! Someone's there! We have to run!" I yelled and ran behind me as I was being followed by the other two. It took us a while, but we managed to lose that weird thing. "That... was... tiring..." I could barely see much but I knew that was Satonaka's voice.

"You're... telling... me... huh? What's that... over there..." I look ahead where I believe Hanamura was talking about as it was a doorway shaped thing. It was radiating a strange aura. He walks towards there and I rushed up to stay by his side as Satonaka is a little ways behind us. We went through as our surroundings appear as a room. "Hey, is it just me or is the fog lighter here?" Now that Hanamura mentions it, it is a little clearer than usual.

"Can't you guys slow down?" I turned around to face Satonaka to apologize but I was unable to, due to the scene I saw behind her. "Narukami? What are you-" she turns around and see the same thing I saw.

Posters of someone with their heads torn or scratched away with a mixture of blood. The smell approached my nose, making me gag. "Guys... there's a rope and a chair here. Also a scarf tied into a noose..." "GAH, Hanamura! Stop trying to freak me out even more! I can't take it anymore!?" Clenching my head, I rush out the door to return back to the place from before. "Narukami!" "WAAAH!" I jump and fall on my butt. It was a bear... costume... clown...? "Narukami! Are you okay? Wait, what the hell is that?" Satonaka helps me up as Hanamura stand in front of us in a protective manner.

"You're the one who was chasing us, right!? Why!?" Hanamura's yelling brought fear to the unknown creature as it rushed past him to hide behind me. "What the?" I look at it as it starts to calm down. "You guys need to get out of here, now! The shadows are on their way... I was looking for you guys so I can- GWAH!? Just take these and run!" It hands me a pair of gray glasses and runs away, mumbling something about shadows. Unconsciously, I put them on. What!? "What happened to the fog...?" I mutter as up ahead, I see something coming through the wall up ahead. "Holy crap, Hanamura! Satonaka! We have to run, now!" I take both of their hands and run the same way we got there.

With me now being able to see, we made it to an area that looked like a small playground when these... two blobs? I don't know what to call them but they came from the ground in front of us, making us stop in our tracks. Oh crud, we're surrounded! The two blobs transformed into... tongues? What the... "Holy crap, what's going on!?" Satonaka shrieks as one of those things licks her. "What the?! It completely slimed Chie!" Satonaka collapses as Hanamura catches her. What am I going to do...? Am I going to die here? I look over at Hanamura and Satonaka. She was still unconscious and he was trying to get her away from these things.

"Yeah, we don't mind Narukami~Chan! But, just do it at your own pace. We want to be casual with you but we want to make sure your comfortable first."

"She's right. Yukiko~San, Chie, and myself have the same thing in mind; have you be our friend so that you won't feel lonely here."

I can't just stand around. If they want to try this hard to be my friends, I have to save them. I want to be their friend too. I can't let them die!

"I am thou... thou art I..."

That's... my voice...

"Hey, they stopped. Narukami~Chan?" Yosuke peers at me as a card floats down. I cup my hands as it just floats on top of it. "... what's that...?"

"Thou hast open thine eyes... the time... is now...!"

A circle of blue light surround me as a type of power consumes me.

"Per... so... na...!"

I crush the card as a blue flame grow behind me. It fades away and I turned around to see something. I don't know what it is, but I know it is apart of me. "It is nice to meet you, my other self. My name is Izanagi, your persona. You may use my power however you wish..." Izanagi... sounds like me...? Eh! That's not important. "Izanagi! I need your help, please! Hanamura and Satonaka need me! They need you!" "So you wish for me to act freely? Very well. I will not harm you or the other humans." And with that, Izanagi starts using its staff to attack the tongues.

"What the hell?" Hanamura clenches onto Satonaka's sleeve in fear. All of a sudden, I begin to see through Izanagi's eyes.

An enemy approaches and Izanagi was able to obliterate it. "You see through my eyes... don't you? If you need my to dodge because I can't see anything, move and that will cause me to dodge." Another enemy comes from it's left so I move to right. Izanagi was right, it dodged it with zero effort. "Call my name! A card should have appeared!" I look up as a card descends. "Burning up! Izanagi!" I yelled as I crushed the card as lightning struck the monster. And with that, Izanagi fades away.

I look over at Hanamura who was looking up at me with a mixture of emotions. "I did it! I saved you guys!" I giggle at him with a cheerful smile.

Hey guys! I hope you like this chapter! This chapter is a little different from the other chapters because it is actually based of off the anime. Reason why is because I like the awakening scene in the anime a little better than the one in the game. Not saying that the game awakening is bad, it's just that I think with Yui's character, I think that it suits her. Anyway, I'll see you guys later. Bye~Bye!
