There was a small rumble of a motor as a long limousine was driving down the road. Where the road led, no one knew. The headlights barely penetrated the fog. The interior of the vehicle seemingly belonged to a rich person. Which was believable, considering it was a limousine. There was a small bar containing drinks and glasses, as well as a small television. There was a light that shone light blue over everything, or perhaps everything was already blue.

There were two people, sitting around the table at the back of the limousine. The first was a very old man, who was also very thin. He was balding, with the exception of wispy white hair at the back and sides of his head. What stood out the most was his long, pointy nose. The other was a woman white white hair and a long blue dress. She had yellow eyes and was holding onto a thick book.

"Welcome... to the Velvet Room." The man said. "It appears we have a guest, with an intriguing destiny."

He chuckled.

"Please forgive me if I'm rude, but who are you, and where am I?"

"My name is Igor... I am delighted to make your acquaintance. This place exists between dream and reality, mind and matter."

"A place within the spiritual mind..."

"It is a room where only those bound by a 'contract', may enter."

"A contract?"

"It may be that such a fate awaits you in the near future. Now then, why don't you introduce yourself?"

"...my name is Kyoko Kirigiri."

"A wonderful name. Now, let's take a look into your future, shall we?"

Igor held his hand out and a deck of cards with strange designs appeared out of thin air.

"Do you believe in fortune telling?"

"...no."

"Each reading is done with the same cards, yet the result is always different." The man continued. "Life follows the same principles, doesn't it?"

"Well, that is true..."

Looking at the cards, Igor hummed in thought. "The Tower in the upright position represents the immediate future. It seems a terrible catastrophe is imminent."

Kyoko crossed her arms at the news as Igor continued to look at the cards.

"The card indicating the future beyond that is..."

He flipped over a card.

"The Moon, in the upright position. This card represents 'hesitation' and 'mystery'… Very interesting indeed. It seems you will encounter a misfortune at your destination, and a great mystery will be imposed upon you. In the coming days, you will enter into a contract of some sort, after which you will return here. The coming year is a turning point in your destiny… If the mystery goes unsolved, your future may be forever lost."

After that small monologue, Kyoko put her hand to her chin in thought.

"My duty is to provide assistance to our guests to ensure that does not happen."

"I suppose that would be only natural, due to my minimum knowledge of this subject. But who is the woman next to you?"

"Ah! I have neglected to introduce my assistant to you. This is Margaret. She is a resident of this place, like myself."

"My name is Margaret. I am here to accompany you throughout your journey."

"We shall attend to the details another time. Until then, farewell…" Igor said.

Kyoko could feel her consciousness fading away. She wanted to ask more questions, but found herself unable to.


Kyoko opened her eyes as she sat upright. Looking out the window, she could see the countryside pass rapidly. She must have fallen asleep.

But that dream... was that real...?

Pushing those thoughts away, she pulled out her phone to see a message from her uncle.

'Meet is outside the Yasoinaba station at 4PM.'

Looking at the time on her phone, it was only a while until it reached the time. A message came on the train's intercom, saying she needed to move if she wanted to get on the train to Inaba. Kyoko stood up and grabbed her bag, before transferring onto the train that would take her to Inaba.

Sitting down, she kept thinking about the dream that she had. But as she thought longer, she could only feel a growing pain.

Suddenly, she saw a woman screaming and being assaulted. She quickly tensed up, but realized that no one was there.

"...I'm probably just tired, and my brain is creating hallucinations due to my lack of rest."

Seeing the train finally arrive, she once again grabbed her bag. She stepped off the train and out of the station, looking around for her uncle.

"It's much emptier than I thought. I don't see anyone."

"Hey! Over here!"

Turning her head, Kyoko saw a man. Walking over to him, he held out his hand. Kyoko hesitated for a second, before taking it and shaking hands.

"Am I right to suppose you're my uncle?"

"Yup, that's right. Welcome to Inaba. I'm Ryotaro Dojima. I'll be looking after you. Let's see… I'm your father's younger brother… and that about sums it up."

He noticed Kyoko had a pained look on her face, but it quickly disappeared.

"It's nice to meet you."

"Heh, you probably don't remember, but we've met. I've changed your diapers before, you know."

Kyoko sweat-dropped at the comment, and slightly blushed as well. She then shifted her notice to see something quivering behind him. Dojima put his hand behind him to push out a little girl. Kyoko hadn't noticed her yet, because she was trying to hide herself behind him.

"This here's my daughter. Come on, Nanako, introduce yourself to your cousin."

"...'lo"

She then quickly hid back behind Dojima. He chuckled.

"What are you so shy for?"

Nanako smacked the back of his legs, causing him to laugh.

"Don't worry, it's fine." Kyoko reassured. "It's only natural to be nervous around new people, even if they're family."

"Yeah, I can see that. Well then… Let's get going. My car's over there."

Kyoko followed her uncle to the car, wondering what was in store for her in her new town.

And yet, she couldn't throw off this feeling of restlessness.


A/N: Hey guys! EpicLinkSam here. Now, this is a story I've been working on ever since I got into Danganronpa. Kyoko is my favorite character and is quite interesting as well. I also wanted to write a Persona 4 story for a while as well, but didn't know who I wanted to use. Then I found the solution by using Kyoko. Now, a few things that need to be said.

1. This is based off of Vanilla Persona 4, not Persona 4 Golden. There will be a few elements from Persona 4 The Animation.

2. There will be Social Links, but only with the Investigation Team, Dojima and Nanako. (I'm too lazy to add all of them)

3. I haven't decided on a pairing for Kyoko yet, there will be a poll to determine it.

And as for my other stories, Azure of Berseria in particular, will be going on hiatus until I get back into Tales of Berseria.

Hopefully I'll be able to update this more often than I usually do. I'll see you all later!
