Both persona and shin megami tensei are owned by Atlus. I own only this order of words. The reaper own my ass.

Should also mention, this is based the first version of the game so aside from the protagonist being called Yu Narukami(I like Souji Seta more myself, but I'm fine with Yu.) this is wholly that game, Kanji's eyes are gray, there no Marie, etc.

A demon's power, a human's heart

Chapter 1: Return of the Kingpin

"You should take it easy, you know." A brown haired and eyed girl said, wearing a green uniform jacket with a few buttons on it, a black mini skirt and shoes. Nanako sighs as she went through the katas "I've already spent a week in hospital and I wasn't that bad even then. If I feel even a little woozy, I'll jump on the bus and go straight there, okay Chie-senpai?".

About a year ago, Chie taught Nanako some moves for self-defence, what with a murderer going around. However, Chie was taken by surprise by quickly Nanako pick it up, so she taught a little more, and a little more...

Nanako's style wasn't a carbon copy of Chie's, with Chie's made of kicks only and Nanako's using some arms katas, but you could see a common link between their styles.

"Okay, feet a little more apart, Nanako." Chie conceded.

Nanako walk back to her house thinking about the hotel incident. The question of 'Who gave her this power and why?' dance through her mind. A flash to her right distracted her, making her look at a blue door in the alley. It was in the middle of the alley, free-standing as if it was normal for a door to be there.

Nanako move to the other side of the door. There was the other side of the door, not like there would be anything else.

Nanako stare at the odd door 'it the same colour as that library.' she thought as she grab the handle. The 'not attached to anything' door was locked. Nanako looked at the keyhole below the handle 'I wonder...' Nanako looked around her before closing her eyes 'I want power.'

The form of the little girl was covered in darkness as it grew to a teenager height. The darkness left as quickly as it appeared, revealing the tattooed, lightly clothed, Nanako. She glazes at her form with yellow eyes, for it had been a week since she saw herself like this. Nanako found it odd that, apart from a lightness to her steps, she didn't feels any different.

Her hands felt for the key around her neck that only existed in this form and took it off to put in the lock. She turn the key Click and she opened the door.

In the cafeteria of a supermarket called Junes, six teenagers sat. Chie was there along with, a blond haired, blue eyes, cheerful boy in a white shirt with a red rose pinned to it called Teddie, a tough looking pale blond hair and grey eyes male teenager wearing a black t-shirt with a skull and crossbones design and a pair of black jeans called Kanji Tatsumi, a black hair and grey eyes girl wearing a red sweater, a yellow neck tie, a red hairband, a grey skirt and some pantyhose called Yukiko Amagi.

Next was a red, pigtailed haired girl with brown eyes called Rise Kujikawa wearing a normal black Yasogami uniform and black pantyhose and finally a blue haired and grey eyes female teenager called Naoto Shirogane wearing a blue bellboy cap, a normal black Yasogami uniform and black trousers. The six chatted about nothing in particular when two more approached the table.

One was a brown haired male teenager with brown eyes called Yosuke Hanamura wearing like most, the Yasogami uniform with some orange headphones resting around his neck. The other had grey hair and grey eyes also wearing the Yasogami uniform and was called Yu Narukami. The two sat down at the table.

Naoto started the dissuasion "I see you are already in uniform, sempai." Yu just smile back "Guess I'm just use to this." "I must say it is bad timing, we planned this all out and then the fire happened." Kanji spoke "Now she think you only came back because she got hurt." Chie gave a uneasy smile "She wasn't that badly hurt, it was just slight smoke inhalation." Chie put on a thinking face "If that..."

Teddie leaned forward "What do you mean Chie?" Chie wave her arms a little "It just that at the last spar I had with Nanako, I had to block." Everyone, but Yu gave her a look of surprise "I guess I'm missing something here?" Chie explained "She only 7. She can't put a lot of force behind her punches so all I normally do is put my arms in front of them to stop them, but now I had to brace myself."

The party sat in silence thinking about this "Speaking about the fire, what do you guys think of Tronko?" Yosuke asked "I going to punch the guy that came up with the name for her." Kanji commented. "Well with those glowing lines, it was a matter of time before someone compare her to that old movie. Doubly so with that new one a little while ago." Rise pointed out.

Naoto talked "Well she seem to be a shadow, at least with those eyes. The fact she save someone muddle that, somewhat." "So we looking for a evil person with heroics that he ashamed of?" Rise guessed.

Kanji look over at the oddly silent member "Something the matter, Teddie?" Teddie looked up "I been thinking. Anyone think those eyes are familiar? I don't mean in a shadow way, I mean in a 'eyes are a window to the soul' way." The teenagers pondered about the girl on the tv before 7 of them when "Oh." and turned to Yu. "What is it?" "She has the same eyes as you." Rise said. At Yu raised eyebrow she expanded "The eyes of a leader."

The teenaged Nanako walk into the velvet room. Naoki was reading a book again, but this one large , blue and decorated. "If I had know what change would of be forced on you, I would of killed you to spare you." Naoki looked up from his book "But hindsight is 20/20. Now I know why I'm the one to greet you."

Nanako question the man who admitted he would of kill her "So what is this?" she put her hand of her chest "Why can I change into this?"

Naoki closed his book "I hope you weren't to attached to your humanity, Nanako. You are now a demi-fiend, the second true one to of exist after me in this verse." Blue lines appear upon Naoki's skin as his eyes glows yellow, all which vanished the next second. "A demon made wholesale from a human."

Nanako look at her hand "Shouldn't I feel more sad?" Naoki shrugged "Maybe you are too young to of put a value to your humanity, you certainty don't lust for power which it the only other reason I can think of."

He held up the book "Any who, it time for you to know what the velvet room can do for you. Everyone who uses this place has a book. A book about them-" he open the book so Nanako could see a picture of a blue haired person in a unfamiliar uniform with the name Minato Arisato under it "-about their story-" he flick some pages over to the teenage standing in front of a masked monster with too many words to read in time "-their precious people-" a picture of a pale-looking man wearing a blue and white striped shirt "-and their powers-" a picture of a mechanical man with a red scarf around his neck and a large harp on his back "-everyone before you needed help with their personas-" he put the book on a nearby shelf with other similar blue books bar one "-you on the other hand-" he grab the out of place red book "-need help with a different power." the book fall open with a picture of her current form displayed.

"And what power is that?" she asked the man "The power of summoning demons. Now you can make contracts with demons. Sure anyone can do it, but you need a piece of kit to do more then one or be a demon. A human with the kit can have up to 5 demons out at once, depending on the kit, but he simply a human. A demi-fiend like me can have 3 out at once, but I'm a strong fighter anyway so I'm better then the human. You, Nanako, have a oddness about you. Don't know what it is, maybe is something with your Magatama that awaken you, I explain them later, but you can only summon one."

He breathe "However you still hold a dozen contracts, but there billions of demons who you may get a contract off so here you can save the ones you want to keep hold of, but are not the ones you need right now." he turns the pages to the empty pages at the back. "We also fused demons to create stronger ones. Don't worry about them, all demons wish to get stronger, even if they need to loose themselves a little to become so."

Nanako thought for a moment "So I barter with demons to get their contract so I can summon them to fight. I see." she looked at Naoki "Do you know who changed me?" "I have a suspicion, but nothing more then that." He looked at her "You wouldn't even know her name so don't ask."

"And Magatamas?" Naoki reach over to a shelf and put out a glass jar. Inside a grey armoured worm thing lay sleeping "A magatama or a spirit of misfortune, their other name. Normally a parasite of demons that not truly alive. They don't breed for one thing, they just pop into being and seek the nearest demon they can leech off. It get interesting if they are put in humans. The magatama and the human fuse somewhat, the magatame can be remove and replace but both the magatama and the human are forever changed. The human become a demon and the magatame become the human's power, a symbiotic relation."

He look at Nanako "Your is a weak one, so was my. It has to be otherwise the host would die from the power influx, however as you grow stronger, you can switch up, gaining more power. If I think you are ready, I'll give you some from my collection. If you find any on your travels, compare your power to the local demons. If you are equal or stronger, it safe. Any other questions?"

"No, thank you." Nanako said as she left.
