Akihiko rounded the corner, rubbing his aching knuckles as he ran and breathed heavily. He'd been wandering around now for what felt like hours, fighting his way through Iwatodai Station. The hellish version of the place he often walked through used to make his skin crawl, now it was just something he was used to, and the others would get used to it too. Everything seemed eerily quiet, except for the sounds of running. He followed the sound, weaving around bike racks and jumping over a low fence. Once he landed, he was running again until he caught sight of who he'd been looking for. There was a boy with blue hair, eyes wide in terror as large coffins anchored in the ground towered over him. Finally reaching him, Akihiko shot his hand out to the boy and narrowed his eyes.
âTime to join the group...â Akihiko said, waiting for him to take his hand, âGet up.â

Suddenly, Sorriso heard running coming towards him, his heart beating faster and his body shaking in fear. A senior that he had seen in school amerged, and proceeded towards him. "Time to join the group..." He watched as the senior held out his hand to him. "Get up." he heard the seriousness in his tone, and took his hand, getting back onto his feet and establishing a balance before looking over the senior again. He was to startled to even say a word, and so simply looked around in utter shock

âIt's almost time...â Akihiko murmured, looking over at the full moon glistening in the darkened sky. It shone so much everything looked illuminated. There was a large clock nearby. The clock's second hand was stopped, blood running down it's face. The numbers, rendered in Roman numerals were visible as tiny lines of reflection under the blood. It was as if they blinked, and everything was normal. There were no more pools or puddles of blood, the moon shun normally in the sky and the few eerie coffins that were laying around were now normal people walking back to their homes. The sickly green decaying colour everything had been, was now the normal cheery colours of the buildings during the day. Lights flickered from lamp posts, and everyone seemed to have no knowledge of what had happened. Except for the three of them. He could tell they were both frightened, but there was no point standing around.
âBoth of you,â Akihiko began to say, pulling out a handkerchief from his vest pocket and holding it to his head, âCome with me. I can't explain everything right now.â To be honest, Akihiko wasn't the type to sugar coat anything nor was he the type to be âgentleâ with the truth, it was better directed towards the Chairman or Mitsuru. Definitely better.

Junpei's gaze turned to the girl that was with Akihiko and smiled "Yep I fight these things every night" he moved smoothly towards the girl "I could protected you if you wanted" he said with a smile on his face "You have to be strong like me and my man Akihiko here, so if I were you i'd stay close to one of us".

"You could have told me you were going out toinight you know, I wanted to kick some ass" Sorriso let out a silent sigh as the boy appeared before the group. He decided it was for the best not to talk, as he would more than likely just be getting in the way with his words. He raised an eyebrow when he noticed the boy making a move on the girl, completely unsure about what was weirder here. It wasn't until Junpei said, "S'up dude? I didn't even see you there" that Sorriso decided to just shrug and follow the crowd back to this, "Dorm"

Akihiko led them down another dark street before they came in sight of the large dormitory, home to the rest of the S.E.E.S members. Sorriso was quiet, and he liked that, not one to jump to conclusions or question him. He thought they'd probably get along. Unlike Junpei, he wasn't loud and obnoxious. When Yukari appeared, apparently out of nowhere like a ghost, he rubbed the back of his head and glanced to the group. âAh, I'm just thankful I'm not a girl,â Akihiko said, a small smile appearing on his lips, âHe found me when the Hour ended, so he didn't scare these guys away.â
âWe've got to bring them back to the Chairman, first,â Akihiko explained, touching the tender part of his forehead. They were nearing the dormitory, he stopped at the entrance and moved to the door.

Crystal was suddenly near a small group just waking from a nightmarish experience. She looked around, bewildered at what had happened. She let out a small scream of frusteration as she looked around, trying to recognize her surroundings. She saw a small group and ran to them. She had no idea what to do or say and just looked at them, puzzled. The girl and boy with them seemed just as lost as her.

After she had left he looked at Sorriso and spoke "I totally don't get girls, I mean they shop during the day and go out during the night, but going to the mall just after the dark hour, I mean what the heck?". he turned back but tilted his head back slightly listening out for Sorriso to say something, until a girl came running to them, Junpei looked at her faced she looked petrified, Junpei spoke with excitement "Meriel, now this girl's running towards us, this is my lucky day". he walked towards her in a smooth manner "Hey whats up? Is someone going to hurt you? if they are you best stay with me" he said with a smile "After all I can protect you if you stay near me".

âJunpei, let's get going,â he interrupted, watching another girl run up to them. âThere's nothing to protect them from right now.â Akihiko murmured, shaking his head and pulling out a clean handkerchief. He turned on his heel, taking a few long strides until he was standing in front of Meriel. It was interesting that she just shot down Junpei, straight-forward and to the point: much like Mitsuru. Tolerance. It was something he also had for Junpei, although he could admit that the younger member made sure their adventures weren't so dreary. He was the comedic relief, without him, things would be different.
Akihiko handed Meriel the red handkerchief. âHold it to the wound, and we'll clean it up once we get inside. Whatever stains are made, I'm sure someone else will clean it up.â Motioning for the rest to follow him, he led them up the stairs and held the door open. Once entering, they would come into a lobby-like area with lavish red couches, a television, bathrooms at the far end and a separate room with a long table. Nearby, there was a wooden desk with a sign-in booklet opened wide. Mitsuru must already be upstairs, with the chairman. âJunpei, Yukari, bring them to the chairman, I'll meet up with you in a few minutes,â he stated, frowning slightly as his gaze wandered past them. There'd been someone following them, he'd only caught a glimpse of a person and he wanted to know who it was. He'd wait for the rest to go inside.

As soon as Junpei entered the dorm he recieved orders from Akihiko "Yeah, Yeah in a minute" he spoke in a half arsed manner a if it was a task a teacher had assigned him. he sat down on the sofa and continued to read his magazine, he spoke in a excited way "Awsome, Innocent sin comes out Tommorrow" he smiled and continued to read the expecatations of the game.

In the corner of his vision there was another shadow, he spun his head to look and this time it didn't disappear. The figure looked to be made of tar and dragged itself along the ground with arms. It went into an alley and then Yazu looked back at Akihiko, "Um, sorry. I must be seeing things."

When the raven-haired boy with the glasses stepped out, Akihiko arched his eyebrow before coming to lean on the metal railing. So, he HAD actually seen someone. For a moment, he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him, it wouldn't have been surprising. The boy was calm enough for someone who'd been in the Dark Hourâhe was probably just confused, wondering if this were a dream or not. At least, if he was scared, he couldn't tell. âC'mon,â Akihiko said plainly, gesturing for him to follow, âYour a part of the group, too.â Suddenly, his eyes were drawn to another shadowâwhich didn't look exactly human, and he was wondering if he'd just been seeing things again. He shook his head, holding the door open.
âQuick, get in!â
Akihiko poked his head in the door, staring at Junpei who'd taken residence on the couch. He grit his teeth and slammed his fist on the door, holding it open so that Yazu could also come in. âNo time for laying around, go alert the Chairmen, there's a big one still here!â
