Persona 4: Dojima Edition

(I don't own Persona, all characters and concepts belong to their respective owners.)

Dojima, Nanako, and Yu were driving back from the train station and talking about things.

"You're a police detective?" Yu inquired. "That's pretty interesting. Though I guess you're not home that often."

Dojima sighed. "Yeah, I try to be home when I can, but you never know what might come up."

"It's ok, you try your best dad." Nanako smiled. "And you keep people safe."

Dojima chuckled at that only to frown. "Oh, I should probably fill up the tank."

"That's fine." Yu nodded as Dojima pulled into a gas station and an attendant ran up to them as they got out of the car.

"Welcome to Moel, how can I help you?" the attendant asked.

"Just fill the tank thanks." Dojima answered calmly. "Regulur's fine."

"Of course, no problem sir." The attendant said calmly.

"Dad… I need to use the bathroom." Nanako mentioned suddenly.

"Oh, that makes sense." Dojima mentioned before turning to the attendant. "Sorry for asking, but do you know where the bathroom is?"

"It's no trouble, it's in the back on your left." the attendant answered before turning to Nanako. "You know which one is left, the side you don't hold your chopsticks in."

Nanako frowned. "I know that."

With that said Nanako walked towards the bathroom only to smile happily thinking about the coming year with her dad, big bro, and her dad's friend just before Yu got out of the car.

"Oh, are you taking a trip?" the attendant inquired.

"Nothing like that, we were just picking up my nephew from the big city." Dojima answered.

"The city huh?" the attendant asked.

"Yeah." Dojima nodded before looking up. "As good a time as any for a smoke."

With that he walked off as the attendant walked over to Yu.

"Are you in high school?" the attendant inquired.

"Huh, oh yeah I am." Yu nodded.

The attendant nodded. "Does it surprise a city boy to see how little there is out here? There's so little to do, I'm sure you'll get bored fast. You'll either be hanging out with your friends or doing part-time jobs."

"Maybe, but a small little town has its own benefits too." Yu admitted. "It's peaceful."

"I can't argue that, though now that I think about it, we're actually looking for some part-time help right now." The attendant mentioned. "Give it some thought, we don't mind if you're a student."

With that said the attendant offered her hand and Yu smiled taking it just as Nanako walked back up to them.

"Thanks, I'll keep it in mind." Yu smiled.

The attendant nodded. "Oh, I should get back to work."

With that said the attendant walked to fill up the car's tank only for Yu to suddenly stumble and hold his head in his hands.

"Is something wrong?" Nanako asked. "You don't look too good."

"Just dizzy, I'll be alright." Yu told her.

"Are you carsick?" Nanako guessed. "Maybe some fresh air will help."

"Yeah, that makes sense." Yu nodded. "Thanks Nanako."

Nanako smiled. "You're welcome."

At that moment Dojima came back only to frown. "Is something wrong, you don't look that great."

"I'm probably just a little carsick, do you mind if I take a few minutes?" Yu requested.

"Not at all, you've had a long trip." Dojima replied. "Just let me know when you want to head to the house."

Yu nodded before walking off down the street and looking around while listening to some of the people talking.

"Do you think he'll like it dad?" Nanako asked quietly before looking down. "And… do you think seeing those will help even more?"

Dojima nodded thoughtfully. "I hope it will be. It's one thing to see those events, it's another to live through them. Though if we're lucky things will end up even better for us since we know what's going on."

Nanako nodded back before Yu walked up to them.

"Thanks for giving me a few minutes." Yu said. "I'm feeling a little better."

"Glad to hear it." Dojima nodded as the three of them got in the car and drove off.

"I really appreciate you letting me stay with you for the next year." Yu mentioned as the three of them walked into the house.

"It's no trouble, we're family after all right?" Dojima asked with a smile.

"Yeah." Nanako nodded. "Do you need help getting your stuff ready?"

Yu smiled. "I think I can handle it, but thanks for offering Nanako."

"Well… ok." Nanako said thoughtfully before glancing at Dojima who nodded. "Oh, um can I ask you something?"

"Sure, what's on your mind Nanako?" Yu asked.

"Dad and I got a new game a little while ago and it was really fun. I was hoping you could play it with us." Nanako answered.

"A game, you mean like a board game?" Yu inquired.

"Not exactly, a video game. It was actually really interesting and Nanako thought playing together might be nice." Dojima explained.

"Well, I'm not that good at video games." Yu admitted. "Though, why not? It might be fun and I'm willing to give it a try."

"Glad to hear it, that should give us something to look forward to. Then again, I might have to work but you can let me know what I miss right?" Dojima requested.

"Yeah, we can." Yu nodded before closing his eyes. Something tells me this game isn't normal, I wonder if it has anything to do with what he told me. I guess I'll have to wait and see, but this is going to be an interesting year to say the least.

(Yu has arrived in Inaba and met his uncle Ryotaro Dojima, and his cousin Nanako Dojima. Next chapter Dojima will receive a call regarding his job and Nanako will show Yu the game for them to start playing after school starts. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
