Welcome back to...
Makoto At The Dorm!
I bet you're thinking "What plans does this Sociopath have in store this time?"
Even he doesn't know, he makes up shit as he goes.
As a character that was written in both the canon and this, I can confirm.
Eh, let him do what he wants... Unless he wants to hurt-
Christ, you're a yandere! We get it!
You little... *tackles and attacks AT!Makoto*
Heh, Karma.
RAX : Full Moon a.k.a Arcana... Er... Crap, Makoto was supposed to keep track for me!
I believe it was Justice and Chariot next.
Thank you, Pharos. Then again, we are talking about you if we think about it. Anyhow, sorry, I forget that I'm the only one who bothers to keep track of the dates with a calendar.
Raze Olympus : Eh, do watcha want. Much more badass than any of SEES? Fair enough.
Badass? What does his bottom have to do with anything?
... How can you be so evil yet so innocent at the same time?
On another note : Holy fucking fuck... (at the time of writing this) 99 follows, 66 favs, and over 120 reviews in about 2 - 3 months? Ho-ly shit... Seriously, I'm surprised how many of you are reading this and just how quick it all happened... Goddamn... You're probably going to hear my shock quite a lot during this story if this pace continues.
Dorm
Beep. Beep. Beep.
"Grgh..." Makoto groaned as he opened his eyes to the sound of the alarm clock just like yesterday.
With another loud groan, Makoto sat up on his temporary bed and stretched his arms. At this point he was tempted to just break the damn thing... except it'd probably be replaced just as quickly with Mitsuru's nearly bottomless wallet and (probably) large supply of them.
Luckily for him, Pharos was there to turn the alarm off for him.
"I wonder why they have to wake up so early." Pharos pondered out loud. Even during school days Makoto never had to wake up this early, and he never needed an alarm clock since Pharos already had the job covered for him.
"Fuck if I know..." Makoto muttered as response before rubbing his eyes and sighing again "This is going to be a long week."
Pharos walked over to the desk and looked at the iron tablets his friend had been taking due to the blood loss he suffered during his last fight.
"I don't see why you need these..." Pharos said as he held the capsule that contained the tablets "... Don't I usually take care of everything when you cut yourself?"
"They don't know that." Makoto responded as he held out his hand which signaled Pharos to hand the capsule over "Besides, I thought you might like taking a break for once."
"I see..." Pharos said as his friend took what was now his daily medicine "What do we do now?"
Makoto shrugged before walking to his door. Giving Minato complete control was very... uncomfortable to say the least.
Suddenly, an idea popped into the bluenette's mind which made him smirk.
"Pharos... Why do you go have some fun?"
...
...
...
"You are dangerous!" Aigis announced the moment she saw Makoto which made everyone groan
"Morning, bucket of bolts." Makoto returned with a deadpanned voice which made everyone groan again, this time even louder.
"They're back at it again..." Akihiko sighed as he put his head down, the boy and android feuding killing whatever energy he had.
"Should've known it wouldn't last..." Junpei said as he shivered. Why did it always seem colder whenever Makoto was around?
Kotone buried her face in her hands "Welcome back, Makoto..." she muttered quietly. Of all the people she could've fallen for, why'd it have to be him... Or would it be them?
Ken, however, was completely confused as he was the only one who had never seen the two when they were normal "Is this normal?"
"Unfortunately..." Yukari sighed before she notice something was off. She placed a hand on her throat "Darn it, I forgot my choker..." she said before running up the stairs.
"Can we help you, Yuki?" Mitsuru asked in her usual dignified manner. While legally unofficial, she (and everyone else) had come to the conclusion he must have some sort of bipolar disorder.
"Take your damn stick back." Makoto said before tossing the cane he'd been forced to used "I can still walk."
"Yuki, your leg is injured..." Mitsuru pointed out something that no one knew better than Makoto himself "I advise its use to avoid putting unnecessary stress on it."
"My leg, my problem." Makoto gave a simple retort
"Yuki..." Mitsuru called out, this time sounding a bit aggravated. She always been considered the mother of SEES from the very beginning and there was no one who didn't fear her wrath in some way "I order you to-"
"I'm not your bitch, bitch." Makoto cut her off as he glared into her right eye (the other was concealed by her hair) "I didn't join your club, I'm not your soldier, and you have no authority over me..." He reminded her before giving her a condescending smile "Or did you forget that?
"I..." Mitsuru blinked from the pure shock of what he had just said, no one ever spoke to her in that manner.
Everyone else looked with interest. It was the woman with a wrath that would break even those with the strongest will vs the one who seemed to be completely indomitable.
She still had one trump card, however "Do not forget that you're a guest here. I can easily make you leave." She said, hoping that'd be the end of it
However, Makoto simply laughed "And have my possible death on your conscience?" he asked before smirking "Don't make promises you can't keep, Kirijo..."
Mitsuru was about to say something in response, but she was immediately cut of by the sound of Yukari screaming from upstairs
Everyone stood up concerned at what had just happened while Makoto threw up his hands
"I didn't do it." he pleaded his innocence as they all went upstairs.
Yukari stood outside her room looking as if she was about to have a heart attack from shock.
The brown haired girl pointed to her room "What the hell is that?!"
"What's what?" Fuuka asked as everyone crowded around the entrance to see what warranted such a strong reaction.
There written on the wall in a thick red liquid was "YUKARI-CHAN HELP ME!"
"Huh, so ghost exist now?" Makoto said dryly as he noticed everyone eyeing him suspiciously "Really?"
Almost as if on cue, the door to Mitsuru's room suddenly began to creep open.
"M-My room?!" Mitsuru stuttered, completely unsure how to deal with... this
"Well, I guess we know it wasn't-" Not even bothering to hear what he said, everyone else ran to Mitsuru's room to see what had just happened.
Makoto sighed as he walked down the steps and heard something along the lines of Mitsuru's underwear being everywhere now.
"Black?" Makoto asked as he looked to the small boy who was walking next to him
"There was a bit of Red too." Pharos answered, sounding a bit surprised himself "Though, I find it weird that there was still a lot of red paint here..."
"Neat..." He said as he looked at the lounge which had now been decorated by the pieces of something very valuable to Junpei
Makoto laughed slowly clapped and laughed "You've done well, little bro... You've done well."
Pharos smiled "Ooh, give me a moment!" he said before vanishing from view
"You guys might want to come down here!" Makoto warned as he simply laughed at everything that'd been going on.
Like moths to a flame, all of SEES came down to see what was going on. Of course, everyone also had the natural reaction when they saw just what was littered all over the place...
"Iori!" Mitsuru signaled out Junpei sounding like she was ready to kill him on the spot
"Why are you blaming me?!" Junpei said as he quickly jumped back, doing his best not to completely soil himself from the mere thought of Mitsuru's wrath
Somewhat confused, Fuuka decided to pick up one of the pages that had been littered across the room before noticing something odd.
"Why does this paper feel so crusty?" She asked which made every look at each other, seemingly not wanting to answer while Makoto could barely hold back his laughter
"Fuuka, c'mere..." The bluenette said before whispering the answer into the girl's ear
The second the revelation was revealed, Fuuka screamed as she threw the page as hard as she could which landed straight onto Akihiko's face strangely enough
Akihiko made a few disgusted sounds as he threw the page down onto the floor and began to shudder. He'd probably never feel clean for as long as he lived now.
"What-" Ken was cut off when Makoto covered his eyes the moment he saw what was above
Makoto shook his head with a smirk on his face as Pharos decided to make it rain the entirety of the girls' wardrobe "Look away children..." he said dryly
Before the girls could respond, the lights from within the dorm began to flicker rapidly as the table flipped and the shelves and doors began to open and close rapidly.
Everyone except Makoto and Aigis screamed as they began to bundle together in fright and screaming for this nightmare to end.
...
...
"Is everything alright?" Like a switch being flipped, all of Pharos' antics came to a complete halt as Ikutsuki entered the dorm.
"Huh?" SEES, who had bundled together in fright now began to spread out, noticing that everything had stopped.
Of course, the dorm was a mess, Yukari's room still had writing on the wall, Junpei's best friends were still everywhere as were the girls' unmentionables, but everything else was completely back to normal.
"They're fine..." Makoto said as he casually walked to Ikutsuki "By the way, did you ask the doctor for me?"
"Ask the doctor?" Ikutsuki repeated confused, not remembering anything of the sorts.
Makoto sighed as he pinched his knows "Remember? What I told you yesterday over the phone?!" he asked before groaning loudly "Come up to my room, I'll tell you there."
Suddenly, Ikutsuki understood what he meant clear as day "I see, I'll be there shortly..." he said before looking at SEES "... I won't ask what happened, but please clean up the place."
Everyone except Aigis felt a drop of sweat fall from their brows as they looked at each other wondering how they were going to explain all of this to Ikutsuki
...
...
Makoto slammed the door shut as soon as Ikutsuki entered "Took you long enough to get your ass over here."
Ikutsuki sighed, obviously not amused by the boy's behavior "And what is it that you want?" he asked, his voice sounding as annoyed as his expression looked
"Well..? What did you find?" Makoto asked as he leaned against his door and crossed his arms
Ikutsuki, however, didn't seem to follow "Uh... For what?"
"He he..." Makoto chuckled at the man's apparent confusion "You know just what I meant."
"I'm afraid I don't follow..." Ikutsuki said as he took a step back as a feeling of unease fell over him when he saw Makoto lock the door.
So predictable... Makoto thought as a small downright direful smirk formed on his face.
"I almost die, and you pretend to know nothing despite me saying he was part of a Kirijo project?" Makoto asked as he took a few steps forward. Hurt or not, this old geezer was nothing compared to him
"I-" Ikutsuki was cut off when Makoto went for the simple approach and back-handed him in the face hard enough to knock the old man down
"Either you really don't know anything and you're proving your inadequacy or you're lying..." Makoto said as he grabbed Ikutsuki by the collar, fear completely paralyzing him as long as he remained under the bluenette's cold dead gaze "... Do you want to know how I reward failure?"
Before he could utter a syllable, Makoto forced Ikutsuki's left hand onto the desk that was placed the room's window.
With the hand placed and Ikutsuki either to weak or fearful to fight back, Makoto quickly pulled out his knife and quickly slid the blade under the nail of the man's ring finger.
"Y-You're bluffing!" Ikutsuki said in a brief moment of courage "I scream, and SEES will come breaking through the door to save me!"
"Then you better not scream..." Makoto said with a low chuckle "Wouldn't want them to die this early in their lives, would you?"
Was... Was he actually confident in his ability to kill all of them?
Ikutsuki looked into the eyes of his assailant only to find that he couldn't find any emotion in his cold dead seemingly lifeless eyes. It was as if Makoto was doing something as casual as squashing an ant that had made the mistake to crawl on him.
Makoto smirked at the man's futile attempts to read him and whispered "Pop..." as the sound of Ikutsuki's nail breaking could be heard along with muffled screams as the man covered his mouth
"My, my, my..." Makoto said as he retracted his knife before using his own fingers to force out whatever was left of the nail on Ikutsuki's bleeding finger "... You've broken a nail."
"I... I'll show the others this..." Ikutsuki said as he covered his bleeding finger
"And I'll show 'em this..." Makoto said as he pressed a few buttons on his phone and the audio of the video he recorded began to play. Even if how long he knew about Ikutsuki came into question, the bluenette had clearly shown he didn't care at all what they think of him... There was absolutely nothing that could be done to threaten him
Ikutsuki glared at the young man who was currently beating him at his own game which seemed to make him smile even more.
"There's a first-aid kit beneath the sink..." Makoto said as he walked to the door, his punishment now over "If anyone ask, you had an accident before you arrived..."
Makoto gripped his door knob before saying "And Ikutsuki..." he called as he looked back "... Next time, I'll cut off your face." he warned before walking out of his room as if nothing had ever happened.
...
...
...
...
Since the unfortunate incidents from the morning, and now the dorm was (mostly) cleaned up and the Dark Hour had now settled. Ikutsuki quickly went home as he 'remembered' he had something important to do, and Makoto continued to laugh at the earlier misfortunes.
However, now, everyone had been called to the command room because of an alert.
"What's going on?" Kotone asked, donning her urgent 'leader voice' again.
"Yamagishi detected a shadow outside of Tartarus." Mitsuru warned everyone as Fuuka continued to concentrate with her persona, Lucia "Akihiko was in the area, he's holding it off as we speak."
"But, it's not a full moon yet!" Yukari pointed out, naturally thinking the worst of the situation
"Probably just a stray..." Makoto said as he yawned, waking up so early had done a great job of tiring him out "... Shouldn't really be an issue."
Suddenly, a beep could be heard from the computer in the room.
Mitsuru pressed a button and spoke into a microphone "Mitsuru here. Were you able to destroy it?"
"Actually... It was already destroyed when I got here." Akihiko answered, he himself sounding completely astounded "You uh... You need to see it to believe it."
"Yay, a chance to leave.." Makoto said as he stretched his arms
"You're not going..." Mitsuru said as she glared at the boy. Whether he had a bipolar problem or not, his constant disrespect was getting on her nerves
"Oh, I'm sorry..." Makoto said dryly "I'm just going to remain here- unguarded- while a powerful persona user we know next to nothing about wants to kill me." He continued which instantly killed any argument Mitsuru may have had "Besides, what did I say about authority again?"
"Gr..." Mitsuru grunted, this was perhaps the one person in this entire city who could anger her to this degree "Shiomi, he's your responsibility!"
Kotone nodded with a soft sigh, her b- friend's attitude doing numbers to get everyone to hate him again.
...
...
...
"Holy shit..." Makoto muttered as he saw one of the few things left on the planet that could still surprise him.
There, standing in front of everyone, was an albino dog with red eyes. But not just any dog, but one that was moving during the Dark Hour and killed the shadow all by himself.
"Koro-chan!" Fuuka called out to the canine as she, Yukari, and Kotone ran to his side.
"You know this dog?" Mitsuru asked the three of them while Akihiko who had been there before any of them kept pressure on a wound on the dog's belly.
Touche... Makoto thought as he unconsciously ran his hand along his own injury that was likely going to scar when it healed. Meanwhile, Yukari explained that the dog's name was Koromaru and that he continued to remain around the area despite his master dying a long time ago.
Aigis walked to the dog and paused for a moment before saying "He said : This place is sacred, so I protected it." she translated
"You can translate dog-talk, too?" Junpei said a bit astonished
Aigis shook her head "Canines do not have their own language, but I can communicate with them..."
"He took out the shadow all on his own..." Akihiko said, sounding like he even admired the dog a bit
Defending your master's home even after he died? Makoto thought as he looked at the bleeding dog. That was such an admirable quality that dogs had, loyalty.
Even though he was smart enough to know his master was gone forever, he still took it upon himself to do this. He even went as far as to kill a shadow all on his own, completely untrained and armed only with his claws and teeth.
Even a dog is better, eh? Makoto thought to himself as he sighed. Poor guy went out of his way to do that, and now he was suffering for it.
Noticing everyone was distracted with the bleeding dog, Makoto slowly turned to his young friend who was somewhat hesitant to show himself with Aigis right there.
Pharos didn't need to ask, he only gave a simple nod in confirmation.
Makoto approached Akihiko and pushed him to the side "Move it..." he said as he placed his hands on the gaping wound.
After a few seconds, Makoto stood up and Koromaru was perfectly fine.
"There you go, fiddo." Makoto said while taking a step back before noticing everyone giving him strange looks.
Makoto turned his back to them and started to walk back to the dorm he'd been staying in "I like dogs." he answered the question that was on their minds.
Heh... Makoto laughed silently as he walked with his head low and his hands in his pockets Less than a dog, huh? He repeated mentally throughout the entire night. Even when he tried sleeping, that thought continued to repeat in his mind as he looked at the ceiling.
He heard that Kirijo was going to be dealing with the dog for now until they decide what to do with him, which did make sense seeing how it was the only animal known that could summon a persona with Akihiko as a witness.
No one bothered knocking on Makoto's door for the rest of the night, not even Kotone. Wasn't too surprising given his behavior the entire day, but there was only one thing on his mind.
"Hear that, Minato?" Makoto asked his other self as he continued to toss and turn in the bed, his usual mocking tone was replaced with an empty and lifeless one "... We're even less than a dog now..."
Be honest, how many of you relished every moment of Ikutsuki's pain? I know I did...
I think everyone does. Hell, EVERYONE hates Ikutsuki... *points at Pharos* He's the reason he broke all of my ribs!
Need I remind you what you did to Minako-san? Should I tell everyone?
WHAT DID HE DO TO THAT VERSION OF ME?!
Nothing that should ever be repeated... Don't any of you dare repeat it!
Did I mention that the rest of you are allowed to interact with the AN characters via reviews, too? Seriously, go ahead... RAX, go ahead and hurt AT!Makoto to your hearts desire!
You son of a-
Ha ha ha ha! HURT HIM!
Hehe, tear him to pieces!
