Welcome to the Dark Hour

+HIKARU+

Momo's and Hikaru's injuries weren't as intense as Shinji's so they didn't need to visit the hospital. A bottle of painkillers and band-aids fixed up their problems pretty quick. But unlike Momo, Hikaru couldn't hide his scars and people who didn't know about the dark hour constantly asked him if he was in an abusive relationship or something.

+FLEANCE+

Fleance was still confused about the whole 'persona' deal. There hadn't been a shadow attack since two weeks ago, so for all he knew, it had been nothing but a dream. Like yesterday and the day before, Fleance stayed in his room, playing video games. He was playing a popular fighting game online and his opponent was someone named xXno.1 badassXx, though his fighting skills were anything but badass. Lance had won three times in a row already.

+MOMO+

Momo was in his room, also playing video games. And as you might have guessed, he was xXno.1 badassXx that Lance was fighting.

+KIMIKO+

" Did you get the one I sent you?" Kimiko asked over the phone, flipping through her photo album. One the other end was Kisa Kamiya, the president of the S.S.S fanclub, or better known as '★ SHINJI-SANADA-SEMPAI FANCLUB ★'. She was talking about a picture she had taken of Shinji when he was in the hospital. She had been a real ninja about it too and took it while Shinji was sleeping.

" Yes! HE'S LIKE AN ANGEL," The other girl on the line squealed.

Kimiko laughed and agreed with her friend. A knock at her door pulled her away from her conversation. " Hold on." She said as she opened the door. " Oh! Shinji, what are you doing here?" She asked, loud enough for Kisa to hear over the phone. A loud squeal could be heard over the line and Kimiko pressed the phone against her chest to silence it, smiling up at Shinji.

Welcome to the Dark Hour

+KIMIKO+

" B-but, " Kimiko stuttered, propping Shinji's head in her hands, " I can't leave you!" Though the people at the dorm wereimportant too, her number one priority, even in battle, was taking care of Shinji and making sure he was okay. She couldn't just leave him there in the middle of the street!

+MOMO+

Momo felt the same way. He would've jumped on the chance to beat that shadow to a pulp, but he would've felt like a douche if he just left Shinji here. Hearing a voice behind him, Momo turned to find Jonathon running towards them, explaining why he was there. Great, now that he was here, Momo would be able to go on and help out. " Don't die okay." He told Shinji, narrowing his eyes. He tried to be all nonchalant about it, but a worried tone somehow found their way in his words. Shinij had been his best friend after all.

Giving the team one last look, Momo took off towards the dorm, praying that his legs could get him there in time.

Kimiko smiled when Jonathon came. He was only a couple years older then her, but now that he was here, she felt like everything was going to be okay. " I'm staying here." She stated determinedly, tightening her grip on Shinji.

+HIKARU+

Hikaru arrived just in time to see the shadow disappear. He was about ten steps from the dorm and relief washed over him when he saw the shadow's frame dissolve into the wind. He didn't know what happened or who had defeated it, but the threat was over and he could relax now that Kenji was safe. But it was like a double sided sword. Now that the shadow was gone, the adrenaline that was flowing through his veins stopped. But that adrenaline was the only thing fueling his persona and without it, Kafkaesque abruptly vanished. Hikaru, who had been only a few feet away from dorm's roof, dropped like a sack of potatoes. Luckily for him, he was unconscious by then, but still, he was falling to the cement below at a dangerous speed.

+MOMO+

Momo witnessed everything from a distance and by the time he was at the gate to the dorm, the battle was over. He, like everyone else, felt at ease now that the battle was over. He slowed his running down to a jog and wiped the sweat from his brow, leaning against the gate. He looked up at Hikaru's persona and was about to yell to him that the battle was over, but right as he opened his mouth, the persona vanished. At first he didn't think anything about it, but then he saw a bundle of red hair falling to the ground. " Shit!" He pushed himself off the gate and broke out into a run. He barely managed to get there before Hikaru hit the ground, his arms outstretched and he caught him before he could land on the unforgiving concrete. But the catch hadn't been perfect. He had dived to save him and when the red head landed in his arms, he felt the rugged cement run across his chest, breaking through his t-shirt and cutting his skin. The same went for Hikaru who had been falling head first, the left side of his face hitting the concrete, the hit lessened by Momo's catch, but as they skidded to a halt, Hikaru's face was already scarred and bruised.

When they finally stopped moving, only afew inches from the stairs, Momo got to his knees, ignoring the pain across his chest and shook Hikaru, " Hey, wake up!" He tried again, but there was no luck.

+FLEANCE+

Fleance didn't know what was happening. One moment he was on the rooftop of the dorm, being protect by a teddy bear, and the next moment waking up in some elevator with two strange men. " Huh?" He asked, scratching his head, looking over to the chair. Slowly, he went over to the chair and sat down, taking in his surroundings. There wasn't a door in this elevator so that meant there was no escape. Great.

His attention was brought back when the man infont of him began to speak. He looked down at the 'contract' and rose an eyebrow. He was responsible.....? Lance was faintly reminded of a program that his school back in England had. It was a program about saying no to drugs and at the end, they had to sign a contract like this one saying they wouldn't do drugs. Maybe this was just a dream and he was reliving his past? With that in mind, Lance picked up the pen and signed the contract. He didn't like drugs anyway.

U mad?

SHOU && DAISUKE
" Ahahaha what do you mean it hates you?" Daisuke laughed warmheartedly as he continued to pet the duck soothingly on the head. " Of course he doesn't hate you! A sweet little duck like this couldn't hate anyo-" Sadly, he was cut off by the duck catapulting itself out of his grasp and onto Shou. " No!! Ducky!! Don't do it!" He pleaded, trying to get a hold of the wounded animal but with no luck.

Shou, on the other hand, was having a worse time since he was on the receiving end of the duck's wrath. For a while there he had actually thought that he would get out of this without having any trouble, but that proved to be just wishful thinking when the duck unexpectedly left Daisuke's grasp to try to attack him. Now, Shou had been the zodiac's doctor for quite sometime now, and should be used to an animal attack by now. But he was still just a human, and like anyone else, reacted badly to a crazed duck flying at him. " OH MY GODDDD, OH MY GOD GET THIS THING OUT OF MY HAIR BEFORE I KILL IT!!!" It seemed like the duck had been going for his hands, trying to bite them, but in the process had gotten caught in Shou's magnificently long hair. The more the duck flapped it's injured wing, the more it got caught in his strands of hair. Luckily Daisuke had gotten hold of the duck's lower half so it wouldn't fall (and bring Shou along with it) but that didn't stop the duck from trying to bite him.

" Daisukeeeeee!!! Get him off!!!" Shou pleaded, trying to pull away from the duck. But the more he pushed back, the more tangled his hair would become, making it harder for Daisuke to pull the duck off. He even tried to pry the duck off using his own two hands, but when his fingers got close, the duck clamped down on them like some kind of pitbull and wouldn't let go. Shou let out a screech. Not only was the duck ruining his hair, but now he was trying to bite his fingers off too?? " You ungrateful little beast!! You bite me after all I did for you?!! See if I ever help you again!!"

Meanwhile, Daisuke was desperately apologizing to Shou while simultaneously trying to pull the duck away without hurting either one of them. He almost cried when he saw the duck bite down on Shou's fingers. " Noooooo! We don't bite people in this house Ducky! It's one of the rules!" He moved with Shou the further back he went, trying to keep the duck from falling, and was so distracted that he didn't see chair leg in his path. His feet tripped over it and sent him tumbling to the ground, the duck and Shou following after him.

" Ow, ow, ow." He whined as he picked himself off the floor. His wrist had broken his fall, but in return it was red and puffy, possibly sprained. But he couldn't focus on that now due to Shou threatening to murder the duck, who still hadn't let go, even after the fall.

" I swear if it doesn't let go I'm going to cut it's little neck off!! Akiza, get me a knife from the kitchen!!!"

" Shou noooooo!!!! Aren't you a doctor?! You save things, not kill them!!" Daisuke cried out, pulling the duck closer. It was then that Daisuke heard footsteps coming down the stairs and he looked up from where he sat on the floor, seeking any kind of help he could get.
" Reiko!" He cried, almost forgetting that she had been over to study with Giima, " You have to help me, Shou's gone mad! He wants to kill Ducky! We have to stop him!!"

Welcome to the Dark Hour

+HIKARU+

With his vision obscured and the nauseating feeling in his stomach, Hikaru was practically helpless. If Shinji hadn't stepped in when he did, then the young persona user would probably be dead. He was brought back to reality when he felt Shinji try to move him out of the way and then fall back into him when he was hit with the beam. Before he even knew what was happening, he grabbed hold of Shinji's shoulders to steady him, although he felt like falling over himself. " Shinji!" He had no clue what was going on but his best bet would be that the shadow had attacked him.

He could hear Kimiko's worried voice beside him and it sounded like shit was getting real. Sunako had informed them that the shadow's armor was weak now and although the others could take care of the shadow, Hikaru felt like he needed to help some more.

+MOMO+

" Fuck!" Momo, like the others, went to Shinji's side, the grip on his new weapon tightening. While Hikaru and Kimiko were at Shinji's side, Momo stood infront of him, just incase the shadow tried to attack again. He held the sword out infront of him , ready to attack if needed, but Sunako's words rang throughout his head. He could use magic!

Bringing his evoker up to his head, he pulled the trigger and the girlish man appeared once more. " Magaru!" He ordered the persona. Narcissus lifted his hands and summoned wind, attacking the shadow like before, but this time it worked. The shadow let out a shriek and backed off, it's amorphic body heading towards the dorm.

With the shadow gone, Momo turned behind him to his fallen friend. " Hey, you okay?" he asked, looking Shinji over. He was awake and conscious, but Momo knew that something was off. " Where does it hurt?"

+HIKARU+

By then, Hikaru's vision had cleared up some and he was finally able to understand what was going on. " You going to be okay?" He asked Shinji, guilt filling his mind. He knew that Shinji had gotten hurt because of him and knowing that hurt him alot more then if he was the one who had gotten hit. When Momo joined them, he looked up. " Where's the shadow?" Momo then explained and Hikaru turned around in an instant- maybe too fast because he felt all the blood drain from his face - and looked towards the dorm. If that shadow was going to the dorm with only Sunako and Kenji to protect it, he knew that things would end up bad. " Stay here with Shinji, I'll send Sunako to help when I'm finished." He told Momo and Kimiko.

With a shaky hand, Hikaru pushed the evoker against his head and summoned his persona. The demon appeared for the third time and it reached down, picking his redhaired master up and headed towards the dorm. The persona was apart of him, so it understood where Hikaru wanted to be. " Just hold on Kenji, I'm coming." He muttered, the persona quickening it's pace to the dorm.

+FLEANCE+

" Wait, what?" Fleance asked, unable to make sense of Sunako's words. But he didn't get an explanation because she grabbed hold of his wrist and pulled him upstairs. " Ah..." He looked back to his room, uneasy about leaving that weird kid in his room alone, but he couldn't say anything because Sunako was too busy moving them up to the roof. The eccentric kid from earlier was there, sleeping on the shoulders of his....clone? Hm. Twins.

When they were finally on the roof, Lance broke free from Sunako's hold and looked up at the moon. He never saw the moon that color before. It might have just been his eyes...but was it red? How strange.....

His stargazing was cut short when something came out of the darkness. It was like a giant blob of darkness, a shadow maybe. Instead of feeling fear from seeing such a monstrosity, Lance only kept staring at it, trying to think things through.

As if out of instinct, Lance grabbed the gun from the sleeping kid's pocket, bringing it up to his forehead. He didn't know why he was doing this, he didn't want to die, but it just felt....right. With nothing but pure confidence, he pulled the trigger and he felt a urge of power rush through his body. Instead of a bullet entering his brain, power circulated through his body and he felt something within him unlock. Before him, a small brown bear appeared. It resembled a stuffed bear that he had had as a child and for some reason, Lance knew that it would protect him.

Without needing a command, the bear's eyes narrowed at the shadow and it unleashed a powerful magic attack. The shadow screamed in pain and slowly began to turn into dust, floating off into the night sky.

After it was over, Lance dropped the gun and the teddy bear disappeared. His legs gave way from beneath him and he fell to the ground. What just happened?

Welcome to the Dark Hour

+FLEANCE+

Fleance's frown deepened when the strange kid jumped on his bed. He scooted backwards until his back touched the wall to expand the space between them. The last thing he wanted was that kid touching him..............

His attention was pulled away from the kid when he heard Sunako banging against someone's door, yelling for someone to wake up. Was she talking to him? " Excuse me." He told the guy on his bed, moving around him and off the bed to go to the door. If this guy were to attack him, Sunako would surely help him! He opened it quickly and was greeted with Sunako's face right infront of his door. " What's wrong?" He asked calmly. He wanted to know what was going on more then he wanted to know who the strange kid was. It sounded urgent.

+MOMO+

" Shit." Momo cursed, gripping his evoker. His persona sucked ass when it came to physical attacks, everyone knew that! He was as good as useless in this battle now. Of course, Shinji and Kimiko's personas centered around magic as well, but at least they had weapons! Unlike him.....Dammit, why had he left his bat in his room? Such a stupid move.....

+HIKARU+

" I can do that." Hikaru said to Shinji, getting ready to activate his persona again. Kafkaesque had powerful physical attacks so this wouldn't be a challenge for him, but the strain that the behemoth persona placed on him was. It was more then a handful to keep the giant demon under control and he usually received headaches after summoning it repeatedly. But if it meant that Kenji would be safe, Hikaru would summon Kafkaesque as much as needed.

Placing the gun like object against his head, he pulled the trigger and he felt his soul unlock. A dark pool formed beside him and a black arm shot out from it and grabbed the side of the hole, pulling itself up from the pits of darkness. Kafkaesque towered over the humans and the shadow and looked at Hikaru, probably surprised to be summon twice in one battle. " Attack." Hikaru pointed to the shadow. The dark demon obeyed and sent another fist flying towards the shadow, breaking the mask it had been wearing. It stumbled backwards again, granting Hikaru's wish to get it away from the dorm. But as Kafkaesque disappeared, Hikaru's vision blurred and he too stumbled backwards, landing on his behind non too gracefully. How many hits was it going to take to kill this thing?!

Welcome to the Dark Hour

+FLEANCE+ Fleance narrowed his eyes slightly at the strange kid. Ah....so he was here for strange reasons. Unconsciously, Fleance gripped the sheets a little tighter and pulled them closer to him. If he yelled, would the other members of the dorm hear him or were they all asleep? But if worst came to worse, Lance could always defend himself with his fists... " What do you mean?" He asked the kid when he spoke about the trails he was going to face. Maybe this guy was like an angel! Here to warn him of great evil! Or maybe he was here to impregnate him....like Mary and that one angel! Again, Lance clutched the blankets closer to him though his face never changed in expression. +KIMIKO+ Not even Shinji's words could comfort Kimiko at a time like this. Maybe if there were more people, just maybe she would have enough courage to put the gun to her head and pull the trigger, but there wasn't! There was only two of them there, how could they possibly beat this huge shadow by themselves?! But when Shinji placed the naginata by her feet, she wasted no time in picking it up. She had more faith in the weapon then with her persona. "Do you think they'll be here in time?" She whispered, trying to keep her voice low in case the shadow had super awesome hearing. But Shinji didn't have the time to answer because the backup arrived, consisting of Pikachu, Momo and Hikaru. Kimiko frowned. When Shinji had said 'help', she was expecting everyone to come, meaning Sunako and Kenji as well. Oh well, four was better than two! And plus, Shinji always fought better with Pikachu. With slightly more confidence, Kimiko held the blade in front of her, watching as Shinji shot at the shadow. +MOMO+ Momo watched Shinji shoot at the shadow, his evoker griped tightly in his hand. He brought it to his head and took a deep breath, taking another second to pull the trigger. A naked man with only a peice of cloth wrapped around his private regions appeared, a solemn expression on his face. " MAGARU!" He yelled, the beautiful persona lifting his arms and inflicting damage on the shadow. It seemed to have no effect on it what-so-ever. " Dammit. How are we gonna beat this thing?!" He yelled out to Shinji, his persona disappearing quickly after the attack. +HIKARU+ Hikaru stood beside Kimiko, biting his lower lip. He didn't have his weapon on him, but he had his evoker. " We should move the shadow away from here." He told Kimiko. They were only a few blocks away from the dorm and if things got out of hand, Hikaru didn't want the shadow anywhere near the dorm where his beloved slept. So there was only two options. Killing the shadow, or moving it away. Shinji's and Momo's attack looked like they had no effect, so Hikaru decided to see it the same was true for him. Bringing his evoker to the side of his forehead, he wasted no time in pulling the trigger, releasing his badass persona. " Kafkaesque!" He summoned his persona from inside his soul. Despite his small stature, Hikaru's persona was quite large, dominating in both height and power. He hardly used it though because it took a lot out of him to control it, and mostly stuck to his weapon. The demonic looked persona was taller then the shadow and it's illuminated eyes stared deeply at the shadow, Kafkaesque's hands balling up into fists." Attack!" Hikaru ordered the persona, Kafkaesque pulling his arm back and punching the shadow with tremendous force. Although it looked like it was a knock out, the shadow only tumbled backwards instead of dying. Hikaru frowned. This was not going to end up well.

Welcome to the Dark Hour

+HIKARU+ Hikaru smiled when Kenji laced their fingers together. He wanted nothing more than to fall asleep next to his boyfriend like this.....but he couldn't. Now that he was awake and alert, he could tell that something was off. It was the dark hour, he could tell, and that was making him uneasy. Kenji was a persona user but lacked a weapon. Hikaru would do anything to protect him. So he waited until Kenji was fast asleep to break their hands apart and he slowly got out of bed, careful not to wake Kenji up. Once he was out, Hikaru slipped on his black jacket and tiptoed out of his room, shutting his door softly behind him. +FLEANCE+ Fleance was right on the boarder of sleep, just about to enter a dream, when something brushed against his cheek. His eyes shot open and he quickly sat up, turning beside him. There stood a young boy, making Lance blink. His first thought was ' who is this guy?', but then he guessed he was another resident of the dorm. "What are you doing in my room?" He asked calmly, reaching up to touch his own cheek where the finger had stroked it. +KIMIKO+ Momo laughed evilly as Pikachu continue to dangle over the concrete below. He really wasn't going to drop the robot; he knew Shinji would kill him. He just wanted to ruffle the robot up a bit. Momo smirked in amusement as he watched Pikachu try to kick him. His short legs would never reach him! "Haha, silly rat!" He laughed, stopping when he saw Pikachu's cheeks begin to blink. He and the other members of the house had been warned that when that happened, Shinji was in some serious shit. Momo tried to remember when he saw Shinji last...Oh! That's right! He went out to get some weapons! Maybe he had ran into a shadow! Momo quickly put Pikachu down and crouched down, "C'mon Pikachu, show me where he is!" He told the robot, reaching over to grab his evoker. Beside it was his weapon, a simple baseball bat. He went to the door and opened it, allowing Pikachu to leave the room and run down the hall. Momo followed quickly, his evoker tucked into his pants. When he got to the stairs, he found Hikaru already standing there. He slowed down only enough to tell Hikaru what happened. "All right, I'll go with you." Hikaru nodded, pulling his evoker from his jacket pocket. The two ran down the stairs, following Pikachu to Shinji's location. +KIMIKO+ Kimiko brought out her evoker from her purse, holding it uncertainly. Her hand shook a little. No matter how many times she fought shadows, she couldn't get used to it. And from the sounds she was hearing, this shadow wasn't as small as the other ones had been. Instead of summoning her persona like Shinji, Kimiko waited for the shadow to show up. +MOMO+ Because Shinji and Kimiko were not too far from the dorm, Momo and Hikaru reached Shinji and Kimiko in a short amount of time. "Hey!" Momo called out, waving his hand so they could see them in the distance. "H-has one showed up?" He breathed, "Pikachu's cheeks lit up." he explained.

Vampire Mafia

AMPELLIO
Sometimes, Ampellio was amazed by the idiocy of Protettore's subordinates and wondered how they ever got anything done. Between the weak members who couldn't even fight off a spirit to the rambunctious children, to his absent minded enforcer to the fumbling grandpas, it was a miracle that Protettore managed to get anything done. In Ampellio's time ruling the Giordano family, everything was formal and professional. He'd never let any of these hijinks befall his fortress, and he would definitely never employ someone like Valente Mancini to help maintain it. But change was constant, if Ampellio had learnt anything from his lifetime on Earth, and now he accepted all of this in stride. The Giordano family still remained at the top tier of the vampire community, so as long as it didn't fall, Ampellio had no qualms. However, if only he could get rid of the useless people here...

" They're not our new cleaning crew Olivier," Ampellio replied, speaking up for the demons, " They are our guests and are here to look for someone important to them so I am showing them around. I would appreciate it if you didn't try to recruit them into your line of work." He said evenly, turning from Olivier to the demons to leave him to cook dinner. " As you can see, there is no one here you are looking for. Would you like to move on?" If he timed it right, he could get these demons up and out of here before Protettore had a chance to leave his brother's office. Hopefully Izel kept his ritual going just a bit longer.

VALENTE
It was still night time and the sun hadn't risen yet, which meant that Valente couldn't completely relax as he lounged on the beach. The darkness allowed Jecht to move around the island freely, as opposed to when the sun was out, and would give him the opportunity to sneak up on Valente if he got too comfortable. Honestly, those vampires were like damn ghosts or something, never making a sound when they walked. And judging by how angry Valente had left Jecht, he was sure that the vampire wouldn't hesitate to kill him if he had the chance. But it wasn't like he meant for him and Trixxtal to have a really bad fight! All he wanted was a distraction so they could forget about going to Tori's for a while. If anything, all of this was their fault for being so stubborn!!

Just as expected, not long after settling down in the beach chair, Valente sensed Jecht's presence approaching. Or more, he felt his anger rolling off him like steam. He knew instantly that this wasn't going to be good. With a snap of his fingers, a pair of sunglasses materialized on his face and he waited until Jecht got closer to turn around and lift the shades up comically, " Hiya Jecht, fancy meeting you here! Wanna play some volleyball or somethin'?" Expecting Jecht to throw the nearest solid object at him was a give-in and Valente instinctively moving to dodge it was like second nature. He let whatever it was Jecht threw crash into beach chair as he ascended into the sky, levitating just out of Jecht's reach. " Ahaha, oh wow, you're really mad today! Not pulling any punches are you?"

Welcome to the Dark Hour

+HIKARU+ Hikaru felt the bed incline when Kenji got in and he placed the blanket over his body. He didn't normally like Kenji in his bed because it would get too hot with both of them in there, especially in summer, but he made exceptions when Kenji had nightmares or whenever he asked him. Hikaru found it hard to say no to Kenji sometimes. It was if he had a spell on him or something. Hikaru pushed the covers off him but left them on Kenji, propping his head in his hand, his body turned sideways," I see." He smiled in the darkness, brushing his fingers through Kenji's black hair, " At least it wasn't Shinji this time." He had warned Kenji about being so brash about things, but it seemed like his words had gone to waste. " Ah, we have school tomorrow so get some sleep. You'll be tired in the morning." He patted his head affectionately, laying back into the bed. Hikaru hadn't realized that it was the dark hour because his attention had all been on Kenji, but something in the back of his mind told him to be careful. " Goodnight Kenji," +FLEANCE+ Once in the safety of his own room, Lance looked around. The lights were still out so he couldn't examine his room properly. But from what he could see, there was just a bed, a desk, and a bookshelf. Pretty simple. Plain. But he liked it. Back at home in England, he lived in a giant mansion, but his room was kind of like this one. It made him feel like home. Making his way through the darkened room, Lance reached his bed without hurting himself and sat down, taking a deep sigh. He had heard the guy in the hallway say that there was school the next morning, so sleep seemed like the best choice. Lance shrugged out of his jacket and placed it onto of his suitcase. He would get the other two that were downstairs later. He didn't want to heave them up the stairs in the darkness. Still wearing his shirt and pants, Lance settled down in his bed and closed his eyes. His Ipod was never too far from him and just happened to be in his pocket, so he turned it on and put in his headphones. The first song was a rap song. Lance might not look it, but he enjoyed all ranges of music. He closed his eyes and prepared for sleep. +MOMO+ Because Momo wasn't paying attention, he didn't notice Pikachu entering his room. He had gotten dressed with his back turned to the robot so seeing it was impossible. He also had headphone in and was listening to music, thus he couldn't hear Pikachu either. Also because of this, he did not hear Sunako when she knocked on his door. Momo laid there listening to Lady Gaga's 'bad romance', moving his foot back and forth to the rhythm. When the song ended, he was just about to close his eyes when he heard something move around in his room. Instantly on guard, Momo sat up and clenched his fists, ready to punch out a shadow if it got near him. But to his surprise, the rustling was coming from the floor. He peaked over his bed, ready to find a shadow waiting there, but found Pikachu instead. And the reason for the rustling was there too. The damn thing was looking through his journal!! He had been in math class, not paying attention, and had written Sunako's name over and over again, sometimes with hearts, sometimes with stars surrounding her name. " Damn pest!" He yelled, reaching down and grabbing Pikachu by the tail. " I'll teach you a lesson once and for all!" He got out of bed and stomped to the window, still holding the robot by the tail. He managed to open the window with one hand and held Pikachu outside of it, dangling in the air two stories high. " Yeah, don't like that, do you?" He snickered, shaking his hand to make Pikachu sway in the air. +KIMIKO+ Kimiko looked down at the remote, wondering what it was for. The top looked like Pikachu's tail, so she assumed the two were connected. Trust Shinji to be two steps ahead of everyone else! Her assumptions were right as he explained what it was for, " O-okay." Kimiko jumped a little when a sound came from their right, her head immediately snapping to the side to see what had caused it. But nothing was there. Her grip on Shinji's sleeve tightened, " I don't have my weapon, but i have my evoker..." she said uncertainly, not a hundred precent sure if she had brought it with her or not.

Welcome to the Dark Hour

+FLEANCE+ Lance squinted in the darkness. He could make out two bodies infront of him. One was holding a pillow and the other looked...kinda frightened. He wasn't paying attention earlier, so he didn't know that Momo had almost been beaten to death with a pillow. " Oh." He nodded, though he couldn't see their faces. And as if it was summoned, the strange yellow mouse appeared, lighting up the second floor like it did the first. Again, Lance was more interested in the robot then the members of the dorm. Because of this, he didn't witness the brotherly love happening before him and kept his eye solely on Pikachu. When Sousuke talked to him, Lance looked up and blinked. " You weren't blonde a minute ago." He stated the obvious, oblivious to the switch that had happened with the twins. He followed Sunako to his room and bowed formally, " Thank you." +MOMO+ Momo on the other hand was very much aware of what was going on. He said, " Nice to meet you," As politely as he could to the new guy, but was ignored. The damn kid was looking at the Pikachu instead of him! Damn punk! But Momo kept the smile on his face because Sunako was still in the room. He opened his mouth to talk to her, but was interrupted by idiot twin number one; " I-I'm sorry! Please forgive me! I'M SORRY, SORRY, SORRY SORRY, SORR-" If Sousuke hadn't appeared when he did and whacked Kenji on the head, Momo believed that he would've done it if Kenji had continued. But this way was better. This way, he didn't have to suffer the wrath of Sousuke for hurting his precious brother. It seemed like Kenji was very well liked in this place....of course he had Sousuke, his twin, and Hikaru, his boyfriend, but the kid seemed well liked by everyone else in the dorm. Except for Shinji and himself, for they had both been victims of his vicious pillow attacks. Sighing, Momo rubbed his forehead, " Eh, this is too much. It's way to late anyway, we have school in the morning." And with that, Momo walked to his room that was on the other side of the twin's room and opened it, bidding Sousuke, Sunako and the new kid goodnight. +KIMIKO+ Kimiko did not have as good as hearing as Shinji but trusted his words. She was not usually so helpless in these kinds of situations, but she would jump at any chances given to her to get close to Shinji." Do you think it's one of them?" She asked, keeping her voice low. She took hold of Shinji's sleeve and pressed her body against it, " What if it's one of the big ones? There is only two of us! Could we beat them?" Hell yeah she was gonna play the damsel in distress in a time like this. Shinji could be her knight in shining armor anyday! +HIKARU+ Hikaru was sleeping soundly in his bed until he heard his door open. Almost immediately, his eyes shot open, but he didn't sit up. If it was a rapist, he would wait until he came closer so he could take him down with the element of surprise. But then again, if it was a murderer, an immediate attack would be best. But as he contemplated different strategies to killing whoever just entered his room, he recognized the useless sniffling that was coming from the person. With a deep sigh, Hikaru sat up and rubbed his eyes. The room was dark, but because of the dark hour, everything had a green tinge, making it easier to see things. But he did not need this to know who the person was in his room. No one ever came in his room apart from that one person. " Did you have a nightmare again?" He asked Kenji softly, moving over to make room in his bed. Just like Sousuke, he was used to Kenji coming into his room at different hours of the night. He pushed back the cover and motioned for Kenji to join him, " C'mon, you'll get cold just standing there."
