A/N: First multi-chapter fic and first time writing a non-protag in DR POV. I'll be switching POVs with Kokichi and Chiaki after this chapter so look forward to that I guess... I'll be making a lot of mistakes so please feel free to comment if my pacing seems wrong. Hint hint. I'm practicing writing both of them since I'll be working on something big in the future.

Nighttime came and everyone should be asleep by now. Well, except for a single person clad in a white suit, plotting some sort of nefarious plan akin to world domination or simply crashing some stranger's birthday party with literal guns blazing.

"Nishishi..."

The supreme leader howled his usual laugh to himself as he happily skipped across the halls of the dormitory in innocent glee. No one seems to have heard his evil laugh and he was thankful for it. Boy was he so happy that he came across such useful information that other people kept from him for a month. And nothing gets by Kokichi Oma, the Ultimate Supreme Leader. Not even hidden talents, dark secrets or conspiracy theories about the school hiding some sort of secret project. Sooner or later, he would find out before it could be hidden completely from him or before it was too late to act upon it.

He quickly went inside his own "evil lair" and made double sure to lock it since he knew that there were some nosy detectives lurking about. He didn't want them to find out his numerous schemes to unleash madness upon the unwitting fools. Even so, he really only considered one of the detectives a real threat, maybe the other in some circumstances but the former just didn't want to have some fun. Those two weren't boring to play with compared to the others but he wanted to play it safe for a while. "Safe" being a relative term.

Kokichi unraveled a whiteboard, hidden under a white cloak that matched the color of the wall to deceive the eyes of the people who didn't pay particular attention to detail, that was hanged on his wall. On second thought, he shouldn't have made his room look like a classroom of sorts, given the large size of the whiteboard, but he quickly denied that thought since it sounded like a good idea to him. Eh, he didn't mind. He liked to lie even to himself sometimes. Being unpredictable and erratic is a key tool for any evil supreme leader. Kokichi took a step back and examined the information he gathered about the residents of Hope's Peak's Main Course. He found out that he was missing one person, so he took out his marker and updated the information regarding the chart that he labeled as "Nanami-chan's Minions". The giggling boy added a Reserve Course student who goes by the name of Hajime Hinata next to Chiaki's. Letting out a huff of satisfaction as the three charts were now complete, Kokichi resumed to examining the whiteboard with his hands on hips, as if he was admiring his work.

A smirk stretched throughout his face as his mind drifted off to the information he came across regarding the three charts, thanks to his connections with Celes, Nagito and Kiibo, who personally yet reluctantly invited the hated supreme leader because of Kaede's forceful orders.

There were going to be three parties held this week.

The first was immediately dismissed since he didn't have time to scheme for that. That only left the other two. He could always settle for the one that would happen the latest but he wanted something different for a change and he wanted to challenge himself. He knew less about Chiaki's group than he did about his own group, which was surprising considering how active they were in group activities and attendance. In fact, they were so all over the place that the normally cunning supreme leader paid them no mind.

Another reason why he didn't settle to cause chaos for his group was because of Shuichi, one of the members of the detective duo that he considers as his arch nemesis. He was Kaede's right hand man and most loyal minion. It would be rational for Kokichi to expect their resident detective to stick his nose up the supreme leader's business if he was planning something evil for their party and if he did get spotted, Kaede would be quick to take action to restrain him, foiling his master plan. Of course, he knew how to bypass the lesser detective's watchful eye but where would be the fun in that if he already knew a foolproof method beforehand? Ultimately, he settled for crashing the second party and planned on getting more information about that. He would plan on his infiltration later.

Kokichi's smirk deepened, this time to a freakish grin. He can always go to Hajime if he wanted those details and then manipulate Gonta to forcefully drag him into an Insect Exhibit so that he could silence the unremarkable boy if he decided to blab to his friends about Kokichi's plans to find out information. He could imagine the horrified look on the poor boy's face, subjected to insect torture and nightmares. Wow, he really was evil, wasn't he?

The plan seemed perfect, but even he could admit that relying on Hajime would be a double-edged boomerang that would come back to bite him in the butt. He knew that Chiaki and Hajime were both close friends, just as close as he was to Shuichi, who was close to Kaede, much to the supreme leader's dismay. If he took Hajime out of the picture, Chiaki would worry about where he would be. Kokichi was confident in his ability to lie and manipulate others but she was... dangerous to deal with.

He heard from Nagito that the last time the lucky student looked down on Hajime, calling him talentless and trash, in front of Chiaki, she blew a gasket on him and the two got into an argument. It was very apparent that she was somewhat protective of her little boy toy. Because of this, Kokichi couldn't exactly trust Nagito to refrain from making some unneeded comment on Hajime's absence which would cause the gamer to act out of turn and put his plans into an uncontrollable state. As much as he loved seeing chaos and discord being sowed in a harmonious group, he needed some sense of control. He needed to be the one who would cause the mess and not by the whims of some random luck. Luck, huh? Hmmmm...

A metaphorical light bulb lit inside Kokichi's mind. That's right. There's Nagito as well. He knew that the guy held deep admiration for "the hope that the other Ultimates have" and he could use that to gain his cooperation. Nagito would do anything, ANYTHING, to make their hope shine even brighter and what better way to make that happen than to provide a "trial" for their hope? He was almost certain that the lucky student would assist him in causing chaos. This wouldn't be the first time Nagito caused wanton troubles for his group after all.

He remembered some idle gossip that spread quickly through the halls of the school like wildfire. The gossip was about how Nagito just so whipped out a gun that he had forgotten to load in the middle of his classes just to test how everybody responded in a terrorist situation. As he expected, he was quickly disarmed and restrained by the nearby athletes. The madman managed to escape without a bruise after Chiaki found out that the gun wasn't loaded by trying to shoot with it. The others were panicking and reprimanded her because of how nonchalantly she pointed the gun towards her face and pulled the trigger. She even questioned why it wasn't shooting in the first place.

Kokichi concluded that Nagito would be easy to manipulate with his lies. The only problem is, could he trust the pale, white-haired boy enough to keep his mouth shut? Nagito was a devious genius just like Kokichi, so he didn't worry about how the whimsical boy would add to his plans; that is, if his inferiority complex even allowed him to contribute. It was also very apparent that the boy annoyed the annoying supreme leader enough to give him a rare headache. Nagito was hard to control and hard to deal with, especially with his luck. Still, he was an important piece to have because of his obsession with his fellow Ultimates, meaning he had all the info Kokichi wanted. He just needed more assistance. More assurance. Besides, he was going to plan to betray Nagito later on. Just because he would agree to help doesn't guarantee his safety from Kokichi's plans. Nagito was still a part of "Nanami-chan's Minions" and no one under that chart would escape unscathed by Kokichi.

"Ughhhhh, why does this have to be so difficult?!" he thought aloud to himself as he scrunched up his face in frustration and jumped up and down on his bed, like a whiny child trying to make a hole on a trampoline for not getting the candy that he wanted. If he wanted, he could just do a bomb scare during the party but that was no fun for him at all! That was something someone like Nagito would do. Kokichi's plans were more devious and complex than just some simple bomb scare or stupid terrorist act! He was the Ultimate Supreme Leader for a gosh darn reason. His schemes were unique and unlike any other! He wouldn't stoop down to simple-minded and garbage-level crimes like killing, hostage taking or wanton violence. Those were too easy, too lacking in depth. If Kokichi was going to do just that, then he was sure as heck that he was gonna follow those plans up with something much, much better just to prove he wasn't desperate to be known as evil! He would spread terror and chaos in his own way. And then, he would be remembered as the most evil supreme leader that mankind has ever bore witness to!

After Kokichi threw his temper tantrum for about an hour or so, a wave of exhaustion crashed down on the boy. Still panting heavily from jumping, he decided to lie down and rest for the night. As his eyes were being weighed down by exhaustion, he whispered his goodnight message to himself.

"Good night. Sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite."

"...Don't let the bed bugs bite."

"...Don't... bed bugs..."

"Gonta... bugs..."

Kokichi's eyes suddenly shot back up and so did his lithe body. Of course! How could he forget the gullible and naïve Gonta?! He could procure some nitrous oxide and spray some during the party to knock everyone out, and then he could ask the muscular gentleman to carry the sixteen of them towards the enclosed space that he requested as a holding place for the Insect Exhibit for any interested students! In truth, no one in their sane mind would want to visit that exhibit but HE doesn't know that! Kokichi is dead certain that the gullible mass of muscle would be more than glad to cooperate if it meant that he would have some visitors. He could always lie to him if he is concerned about the sleeping victims. Everyone would be happy! Kokichi gets to see the horrified looks of not only one, but sixteen of them, and Gonta would get his first batch of "interested" visitors! A win-win situation.

"Nishishi..." he giggled.

"AHAHAHAHAHA!" he laughed.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YES! THE PERFECT PLAN!" he shouted.

"MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" he continued to laugh as the shadow his bangs casted on his face only grew and darkened, painting his normally childlike face with a mask that consisted of malice, deceit and evil violet colors. His laugh was loud enough to echo outside his room, filling the peaceful and quiet night outside with a dreadful and maniacal cackle that originated in Kokichi's room.

Unbeknownst to him, as soon as the demented supreme leader started laughing, someone was rapping fiercely on his door. Kokichi quickly covered his whiteboard and opened the door. He only saw the tired and annoyed face of Kaito, which contrasted Kokichi's lively and gleeful face, like nothing changed at all...

"Aww, Momota-chan~! Did you get a bad boo-boo? Want me to read you a bedtime story?" he lovingly asked with mock concern; arms arched and fingers interlocking on the back of his hair.

"Will you knock it off?! People are tryna' sleep here!" the annoyed astronaut groggily slurred at Kokichi, rubbing the back of his head with his left hand.

"I KNOW AND I DON'T CAAAAREEEE~!" he said in a manner to incite anger from the tired astronaut. Kokichi quickly closed the door on Kaito's fuming face and locked it instantly.

"Why you little-! GET BACK OUT HERE SO I CAN PUNCH THAT FACE OF YOURS INTO ORBIT!" the giggling supreme leader could still hear the shouting Kaito practically trying to punch the door open while twisting the doorknob that just wouldn't budge.

"NEVER!" Kokichi shouted back to the berserk Kaito, which only caused the rapping to intensify and quicken, making the door shake in its place. With one last forceful punch, the berserk astronaut relented and stomped his way back to his room. For a moment, Kokichi was genuinely scared that Kaito might break down his door and proceed to assault the defenseless supreme leader. He let out a relieved sigh, thankful to Atua or whatever that he was spared from a bruise or a black eye, and jumped back to bed. Kokichi let out one last "Nishishi..." before drifting off into a land of ponies and rainbows.
