Half of the Unknown Curse: Continuing on Ao3

What Is Going On!?

'He is in so much trouble when I find him. We didn't even get a proper introduction to Noll's friends! Nero, you better have found something or you're going to get it.'

She thought to herself as she walked off not realizing she's being followed by two extremely nosy people.

Said two people were far enough to not be noticed, yet close enough to follow her.

A clock rang in the background at the airport. It echoed-once, twice- before it stopped suddenly.

"What the hell? I didn't know this airport has a giant western clock."

They blinked and everything changed. There were no humans around, everything looked so monotonous in various shades. The most prominent being black, grey, dark forest green, and finally blood red.

Looking around they see Sumire talking to a male.

"Sumire-san!"
"Sumire-chan!"
Two voices called out at the same time.

Sumire turns around, surprise evident on her face.

She runs up to them, once close enough to talk, yet far enough to draw a weapon if needed.

"You're not suppose to be here, Takigawa-san, Yasuhara-san."

"What is this place anyways?" Bou-san asked.

Sunire ignores thr question, "Nero, keep your eyes open and watch from the back. I don't wany any casualties, understand?"

"Yes, Tachio." The male with short two-toned color spiky hair answered, "Yo. I'm Henri Nero, I would say it's nice to meet you, but I would have to ask you to stay quiet and out the way. Leave this to us."

"Can you at least answer a few questions?" Yasuhara asked, curiosity driving him to know where here is and what it has to do with Naru's fiancee and her friends.

Nero looka to Sumire, who is already way ahead of them. He notices a twitch coming from her right hand.

"Yeah. Just a couple though."

"I'll repeat mine. Where are we?" Takigawa-san asked once more.

"Still in Haneda Airport. Just a different dimension, I guess. It's hard to explain. Su-chan knows more, but it seems she's looking for something." Or someone. He answers.

"Ah. So what is this dimension called? It seems kind of dark, and confusing like Urado's Mansion years ago." Yasuhara asked.

Nero hesitated.

"It has many names. My team and I call it The Witching Hour. At times if it gets really bad and we have to watch out for each other; it's called The Devil's Hour."

They turned to Sumire, who was clearly watching their surrounding as if something would pop out.

"The Witching Hour, what's that?" Takigawa and Yasuhara looked at each other before asking the question.

"It's usually associated with the supernatural. By theory it comes during the times of 2 and 4 am with 3am as it's peaking hour. However, when the times changed since 1835; the hours are now midnight and 3am. Originally, it was said for the creatures to come out much more frequently. The creatures of the night were witches, demons, and ghost.

Black magic was also common during the times, because it was most effective during 3 and 4am. If women were caught outside during these times, she was accused of being a witch. Witches were known as the devil's servants. Allot of women were exicuted during 1692 and 1693 in the Western. This was now known today as the Salem Witch Trials."

Sumire gave a rather lengthy, but truthful explanation. Yet leaving out allot. "No more questions. Stay quiet. Nero be on your toes. Shibuya is not our territory."

"Well damn. That's more information than what we know."

A voice came from above and echoed.

A/N: 600 words. Not bad. So I am sorry. I'm bringing in Persona 5. I have not played the game. However, I did watch the anime up until episode 12 unfortunately before my 30 days of free was up. Anyways, they will not be here all that much. I have no idea if there is a Persona 6.. So Sumire and her group are Persona 6.

Enjoy! This is Kiki Gene, signing off with chapter 9!
