So this is my first fan fiction, which is probably a bad idea on my part now that i think of it. Anyway i suppose i should say that i do not and i probably never will own ATLUS, Persona, the characters, etc. I should also say that while Minako/Hamuko is definitely in the story, i'll probably make this in a way in which Minato is the main protagonist. As for any future pairings i'll probably go with Minato/Yukari (since their relationship feels the most developed in the game) and Minako/Shinjiro (mostly because i like him to much to kill him off)

"Aw, looks like we're going to be late because of that train malfunction earlier." The girl with Auburn with hair and crimson eyes pouted with a disappointed look on her face.

"It's not THAT bad Minako." Said the boy with blue hair that covered half of his face.

"Oh Minato-nii, first impressions are everything, we can't ALL be loners you know?" The girl said with a small smile.

"Hmm... fair enough." The concluded the conversation and then something caught his eye. Is that a... blue butterfly? The boy stood there confused until the train finally stopped.

"Yay! we can go!" Minako shouted not caring if people starred.

"Ah... shit" Minato said with a serious expression.

"What is it Minato-nii? Oh... it's almost THAT time isn't it?" Just as Minako said this the world immediately changed. Everyone around the two transmogrified into a coffin, all electronics including the mp3 player that Minato was listening to ceased to function, many areas became covered in a blood-like liquid, and everywhere gained a green color.

"L-let's just... go please." Minato said quietly visibly bothered by the changes around him. Minako only nodded, for she more than anyone knows why he's bothered by what's happening. What this time itself was, was unknown to them.

Neither of them dared to talk to anyone about it for even at a young age that they would be deemed crazy. After all what sane person would believe them when they said that every night people become coffins. The only people they knew who could move during this time would be each other. While Minako wasn't fond of the hour itself Minato himself despised it. For Minako it was just a very strange unexplainable phenomenon. For Minato it was a reminder of what happened to their parents ten years ago for that was the first time they experienced it.

The two quietly walked all the way to their destination, until Minato came to a sudden stop "Minato-nii?" Minako said confused

"We're here" Minato said looking at the building in front of them.

"Wow!... it's so big compared to our last school." Minako said in awe.

"C'mon let's go in, i really wanna get to bed as soon as possible." Minato said looking as if he could fall asleep any minute now.

"You go ahead, I want my first experience there to happen when the world is normal." Minako said to her brother. "

Suit yourself, just don't go wandering"

Minato then entered the building wanting to go to bed as soon as possible. "You're late." A mysterious boy dressed in what looked to be an old school prisoner outfit then said as soon as Minato entered. What the hell? H-how is anyone else moving? "Now if you want to proceed, please sign your name here."

"What are you talking about? Minato said very confused by what's happening.

"It's a contract, just saying that you'll take full responsibility for your actions... you know, the usual stuff." Minato couldn't help but be even more confused. Not only can he move, but he wants me to sign a piece of paper? Alright, i'll see where this leads.

"What about my sister?" Minato asked

"Oh your twin? She shouldn't have to, though she'll play a part in this." What the hell is this kid talking about?

"So this contract, where is it?" Minato asked thinking it's a bad idea to get on the boys bad side.

"Oh yes, how silly of me." The boy then snapped his fingers as a contract appeared on the counter next to them. Minato wanting to get this over with signed his named on the paper.

Arisato Minato

"You can't escape time" The boy suddenly started speaking " It delivers us all to the same end, you an't plug your ears or cover your eyes... So it begins." The boy then suddenly disappeared in front of Minato's very eyes.

"What the f-" Minako suddenly bursted in through the front doors

"Minato-nii, i heard talking, who are y-" she was the cut off by another voice shouting

"Who's there!?"A girl around their age with brown hair was standing by the stairs. Huh? Another one? Well... at least this one has a pretty fa- wait is that a gun? Minato immediately noticed the gun like object in a tan holster the girl was wearing. Minato's immediate reaction was to get in front of Minako, if anyone was going to be shot, he didn't have a problem with it being him.

"Nii-san, your eyes... they're glowing." Minako whispered. While this itself wasn't unheard of (during the special hour at least) having eyes glowing a bright blue when a while at gun point wasn't going to help their situation.

"I know... just stay back." The girl was breathing heavily and if one looked closely her knees were shaking. Is she nervous? What the hell is going on around here? The girl the reached for the gun put before she could draw it another voice shouted

"Takeba wait!" Within a few seconds of that the lights in the building and Minato's mp3 player suddenly went live, the green suddenly disappeared, and Minato's eyes immediately went back to normal.

"I wasn't expecting you two to arrive so late." The woman who talking had red hair and eyes, she also dressed neatly most likely coming from a wealthy family.

"What?" The brown haired girl dressed in pink responded with confusion.

"These are the new transfer students." With that bit of information the girl seemed like she finally relaxed."I am Kirijo Mitsuru" The red haired girl introduced herself before turning to the one in pink "And this is Takeba Yukari, she'll be a junior like you two." Mitsuru then turned to the twins "Now, can you please explain why y-"

"Our train had some malfunction so we suffered a delay." Minako interrupted, not to be rude but rather impatience.

"I see, now would you introduce yourselves?" Minako gave a smile and shouted "I'm Minako and this is my older brother Minato and we..." Minako raised a fist high in the air "are the Arisato twins!" There were a few seconds of silence before Minako showed clear agitation and hit Minato at the back of his head. "Gee nii-san you're supposed to join me when i do that, otherwise it's embarrassing!" Minato rubbed the back of his head as Mitsuru and Yukari laugh at what they saw.

"Anyway, i suppose you should get to your rooms, don't worry you things have already been delivered." Mitsuru turned to Yukari "Takeba, please take Arisato to his room while i take her to her room." Yukari nodded and the two went up the stairs.

"I'm shocked nii-san didn't say anything about the gun." Minako said out loud "Don't worry it's not a real gun, it's mostly for her own comfort. Your brother could probably tell when he got a close look." Mitsuru said calmly "Well... he's done weirder things in the past so i suppose i shouldn't be surprised."

"So... you don't talk much" It was obvious to Minato that she was desperate to have a conversation with him, perhaps to make up for what happened earlier

"So I've been told." Minato replied, it wasn't that he didn't want to have a conversation rather he's was so inexperienced that he didn't know how to effectively have one.

"Oh... um... I like your hair. What do you use to dye it?" Minato stood and tilted his head to the side

"I... don't."

"What? Really? Wow... that's surprising... wait are your eye's natural too?" It wasn't the first time Minato had been asked about his hair but his eyes... that was a new one

"M-my eyes?" Minato responded with clearly confusion

"Yeah, i was just wondering if you used contacts to make them look at different color" Well... i supposed blue-grey eyes aren't that common so i can see why she'd think that. After going up the stairs the two went down the hall until the last door.

"Well... here it is, pretty easy to remember since it's at the end of the hall. Oh and here's your key make sure you don't lose it or you'll never hear the end of it" Minato nodded and proceeded to unlock his door, but just before he opened it Yukari suddenly asked "Hey um... on the way over here... did you see anything strange?" Every muscle in Minato's body instantly froze she DOES know, dammit what do i say? I won't take the risk of being wrong but i should ask about that kid and the contract though.

"Know anything about that kid i saw down there?"

Yukari looked confused "Kid?"

"Yeah the one who m-... never mind i was probably just seeing things." Minato said realizing she didn't have any idea what he's talking about.

"Oh um.. Alright. Good night Arisato-kun."

"Good night Takeba-san" Minato replied ending their conversation as he went into his room.

So... that was interesting. Minato thought to himself as he changed into a more comfortable t-shirt and pants. I can't believe Minako talked me into coming back here... HERE of all places. Minato couldn't think about anything else, this was his childhood home until... that day. I'm glad only I have to remember that day, I should probably think about the good memories... come to think of it, that girl... Takeba-san... she seems familiar. Have i met her before? Then again i'm probably just imagining it. Minato turned to the clock in his room. It reads "12:24" I should go to sleep, i don't want to be late tomorrow.

So... it's been a week or 2 since I first uploaded this chapter and decided to try to make it how chapter 3 and onward is written. I might do the same with chapter 2 provided you lovely people tell me if this is better at all. Also, since this is my 1st fic, the quality at first is gonna be kinda... Stick with it please. I promise it gets better eventually, just be aware my inexperience and a bit of cheesiness will show (especially up to about the mid 40's).
