Persona 3 : Two Souls

Part 5 - Rough Hour

That night while lying in bed, Takuya awoke to a presence in his room.

Instantly he could tell that it was the Dark Hour, the air of the room was very similar to the night he and Miyuki arrived.

"Hi..." A familiar but eerie voice said, Takuya sprung up to see that boy from that night sitting on the other end of his bed. "...How are you?" The child asked as he slowly turned to face Takuya.

"You..." The blue-haired teen began to find his voice "You're that creepy kid." He added.

In response, the child simply gave Takuya a chuckle which did nothing but unsettle him further.

"How the hell did you get in here?" Takuya angrily asked.

"I'm always with you..." The boy answered with the same creepy vagueness that he had become known for.

"What are you talking about?" Takuya was beginning to lose what patience he had as he asked his next question.

"Soon, the end will come." The boy spoke as he completely ignored the teen's question.

"The end?" Takuya stuttered out.

"Yes, the end of everything...to be honest, I don't really know what it is." The boy continued with his mysterious rambling as he got off Takuya's bed and stood up.

"I see you've awakened your power....as did she...." The boy continued on, the mentioning of Takuya's sister was enough to get the teen to stand up from his bed.

"You two are different from the others....your powers can take many shapes and forms, could come quite in handy depending on where you end up...." The child droned on.

"Where I end up?" Takuya stumbled out his words, somehow unable to keep up his usual aloof attitude.

"Do you remember when we met?" The boy asked as he looked Takuya directly in the eyes, his piercing blue eyes seemingly staring directly in the teen's soul.

"I expect you both to honor your commitments." The child added in a haunting tone.

"I'm always watching...." The boy added refusing to let the room fall silent for too long "...even when you forget about me." He added with an unsettling smile.

"I-I told you before, you can't just say creepy shit to people." Takuya tried to respond back confidently but his shaky voice gave away his unease.

In response, the boy giggled before disappearing right before Takuya's eyes.

"What the..." Takuya whispered to himself, now left alone in his room during the Dark Hour with no clue what was going on.

With a sigh, the blue-haired teen walked over to his desk and opened up his laptop before remembering that the internet didn't work during the Dark Hour.

"Shit..." Takuya muttered to himself "I'm not gonna be able to go to sleep any time soon." He added with annoyance.

Takuya decided to walk downstairs to the lounge area, beat just sitting around in his room alone, as he was arriving on the ground floor he saw Akihiko fully-dressed and trying to sneak out of the dorm building.

"Hey Senpai." Takuya called out in a tone that very much showed he didn't mean any respect by using the term Senpai, Akihiko nervously turned around to look at Takuya.

"Damn it, did I wake you?" Akihiko asked kicking himself for seemingly blowing his own cover.

Takuya didn't even entertain the thought of telling the silver-haired boxer what actually woke him up, so instead he simply nodded to confirm Akihiko's idea that he was too noisy in his attempts to escape.
