Er... Apple sauce!

Seriously?

Apple sauce is awesome!

What the hell?

blahblahblech : Okay, that's fair.

He... He has a girl's name...

I think Minato/Makoto's stage name was Sakuya Shiomi... So it must be used for boy's at least occasionally.

T. E. K. 1996 : Hoping he won't hurt Koromaru? Don't see why he would...

Even *I* don't needlessly hurt dogs! ME! Seriously, do you remember half the shit I used to do to innocent people, Minato, little bit of Minako, etc.

Wait, what did you do to that version of me?

... We don't like to talk about it. If it means anything, you did stab my eye out after.

Let's just say my sadistic mind went too far, even for me it went too far.

Raze Olympus : Well, someone likes the anti-social, disrespectful, apathetic, misanthropic, sociopathic, blue haired, Prince of Death.

Watch what you say about him!

I thought you had a thing for Minato more than Makoto...

Bitch, please... I'm a Wild Card, I have a thing for everyone as long as I get an S-link and/or fusion material out of it.

... Ew.

Nightlyy : I... I... *runs away crying*

Tch, see what you did! Hold on big bro, I'm comin'

clevernameeh : Well, enjoy it while it last. Don't think Makoto is the type to stay there for long. Speaking of which...

Welcome to the first addition of :

Makoto At The Dorm!

It's the first of two or maybe three chapters of Minato/Makoto at the dorm just for fun! First chapter is something that'll make the pairing fans happy, while the next will focus on something else. You might even get a haunting! Who knows?!


Dorm

Beep. Beep. Beep.

What the hell..? Makoto thought as he heard the sound of an alarm clock.

Who set the alarm, and why? Currently they were on summer vacation, one of the few times when sleeping in was allowed. Who in their right mind would have an alarm set?

With a sigh, the boy slowly opened his eyes and saw Pharos pointing up to a corner on the ceiling where a camera stood.

Makoto let out a "Hmph." as he looked around and saw something beside him.

"Oh, what the hell?!" He complained loudly as he grabbed the note that was left beside the object first (Side note : Underlined words are crossed out)

Dear Makoto-kun,

This wasn't my idea, I swear!

I mean, I want you to...

It's all by the orders of our evil senpai (DON'T TELL HER I SAID THAT!)

Your iron tablets are on your desk.

Take care...

Hope you get...

I want to talk to...

Sorry again.

Love

From,

Kotone

"Hmm..." Makoto looked closely at the note. There were a lot of words that were crossed out, some of which were barely even legible anymore. Whatever it was, she clearly wasn't ready to do whatever she wanted to do.

Makoto let out one last groan "Goddamn you, Kirijo..." he cursed before grabbing the object...

... It was a goddamn cane.

I'm not an old man, dammit! He screamed mentally as he stood up. Remembering his reason for even wanting to get up, Makoto dragged the chair by his room's desk and brought it to the corned.

Think you can spy on me? Makoto smirked as he pulled out his knife that had been in his pocket and popped open the casing which exposed the hidden wires.

"Take note, everyone..." Makoto said as he angled his face just right so that the camera caught a decent look of his face "Don't ever try spying on me again..." He warned before cutting all the wires and rendering the camera nothing more than a piece of plastic at most.

After disabling the camera and taking his daily dose of iron, Makoto turned to his little friend "You should hide yourself for a bit. Gonna have to let Minato drive the stick for awhile."

Pharos nodded as if agreeing to the suggestion "I understand." he said before disappearing

Makoto sighed as he walked to the door and gripped the knob "Don't do anything stupid, dammit..." he warned his other self before lowering his head and his breathing slowed.

...

...

Minato slowly made his way to the table where everyone else seemed to be eating breakfast. Was waking up this early something that applied to everyone or something?

Noticing a free seat on the very edge of the table, the boy sat down and put his hands in his pocket as he looked at everyone.

"Er... Hi?" He greeted meekly, feeling a bit uncomfortable in a place almost completely foreign to him.

Everyone did a standard dismissive hello until Aigis stepped in and said "Good morning! It is nice to have you join us, Makoto-san."

Minato nodded and smiled softly "Nice to see you too, Aigis."

Suddenly, everyone started looking at both of the like they were crazy.

"Uh... Did something happen?" Fuuka asked as she along with everyone else constantly looked back and forth

"Dude, are you bipolar or somethin'?" Junpei asked which made Minato blink

The blue haired merely continued to blink with a completely innocent and somewhat oblivious look on his face "... Maybe?"

Meanwhile, Makoto growled in anger Tch, don't get too friendly with... it. He demanded, sounding venomous seemingly beyond human possibility.

"Er... Are we sure she's not damaged?" Yukari asked as she kept her gaze on Aigis.

Everyone had been worried ever since he came to the dorm due to Aigis' and Makoto's mutual hatred towards each other, but now... this!

Aigis was suddenly treating the boy nicely while he had referred to her by name instead of 'it' or 'bucket of bolts'.

Minato, on the other hand, didn't seem to be taking anything to heart "May I have something to eat, please?"

"S-Sure..." Kotone agreed, she was the only one who knew about Minato/Makoto's 'problem' and even she was still surprised by the complete one-eighty from the both of them "Uh... Wants some waffles?"

Minato nodded "Yes, please." said politely which only caught even more of everyone's attention.

Kotone promptly went to the kitchen while everyone stared at Minato bewildered.

"Did... Did you by any chance take any injuries to the head?" Mitsuru asked as she blinked rapidly before watching the boy like a hawk. She didn't get any reports from the doctors saying he took any cranial damage, but she wanted to be sure.

Minato shook his head "Mm-mm. Just a few cuts here and there." he answered casually, seemingly not understanding everyone's confusion

"HUH?!" This was going to be a long day.

...

...

...

After a breakfast they certainly wouldn't forget for a long time, everyone carried on with what seemed to be their daily activities.

Minato was now spending his time sitting on the sofa watching TV in the lounge not bothering anyone. Just like on the last day of their trip to Yakushima, the boy seemed to be rather... passive. He did his best to avoid hurting the feelings of others, he was much more polite, and just about everything was different.

Of course, the only one that had any explanation as to why was the auburn haired leader of SEES.

Speaking of her, Kotone bit her lip and twiddled her thumbs as she thought to herself. It was fairly obvious that his 'Minato' side had taken hold, as to why was a mystery to her. He seemed to alternate between the two on a a whim or something.

Still, to say that the two were completely different wouldn't exactly be correct either. Like she had thought before, it still seemed like it was less of two different people and more of two vastly different interpretations of the same person.

While their tones were different, their voices were still similar enough that it was still recognizable like comparing the voice of a person when their happy to when they're angry.

Plus, their hobbies didn't seem to different from she had seen either. Judging by Makoto's skill during the one time they ate at his place and the lunch he made from everyone (much to their shock) an hour or two ago, both seemed to have both a talent and interest in cooking.

He still wore and listened to his earphones, too. Judging by the fact he didn't fiddle with his mp3 player either, it was reasonable to assume that their taste in music was the same too.

Finally, while more polite now, his attitude wasn't too dissimilar to his 'Makoto' side once he showed his rarely seen gentler side. Of course, no one other than Kotone knew this as she was probably the only one he had bothered to show it to.

Actually, there was one final thing...

Kotone let out a soft groan as she remember what that final thing was.

Wait...

What thing?! There was no thing, right?! Absolutely nothing!

And...

...

...

...

...

...

And...

...

...

...

...

...

...

Oh, who was she kidding at this point?

"Hey, Makoto-kun..." She called out to him with an usually nervous sound in her voice as she felt her heart start pounding and only went faster and faster with every second.

Minato looked away from the TV and directed his gaze towards the girl which caused the intense felling she felt in her chest amplify by ten and she now began to feel as if the entire planet was watching her despite those two currently being the only ones in the room.

"Yes?" He asked innocently as he tilted his head to the right which caused his fringe to move slightly revealing his normally hidden right eye. Somehow, this made Kotone feel as if even more people were watching her.

"C-Can... uh... Well..." Kotone turned a bright scarlet as she felt like she was developing a personality problem as part of her screamed at her to continue and another part of her silently begged to die.

Minato merely blinked and straightened his head so that it was no longer tilted. The look in his eyes made him seem like he was interested in what she had to say, but he also wasn't going to force it.

"Er... You see... uh..." Kotone silently whimpered to herself which only confused Minato more.

"No need to beat around the bush, Kotone." He assured her, seeing her obvious difficulty in whatever she wanted to say "Just come out and say it."

"Okay... Okay..." She said to herself before taking another long deep breath and looking back at the boy again, she now had a few seconds of maxed out courage and she wasn't about to waste it "ThesummerfestivalissoonandIwannagowithyou!" she said extremely fast causing her words to come out a jumbled mess as her courage stats suddenly went from max all the way back to level one.

"Hmm..." Minato hummed as he took a moment to decipher the words. "The summer festival is soon and I wanna go with you!" He repeated the intended words mentally

Minato merely blinked "... Is this a date?" he asked, sharing Makoto's somewhat limited knowledge on the subject

"NO!" She denied instantly before regretting her words "I mean, yes! I mean, maybe! I mean... uh..." the girl wanted to curl up into a ball at that moment "D-Do you wanna go or not?!"

"Okay." He agreed as if he was signing up for something as casual as a walk to the park or something

Kotone looked up in disbelief "What?" she deadpanned

"Okay." He repeated

"W-W-Wha..." Kotone blinked rapidly and rubbed her eyes, as if trying to believe everything she had seen and heard was all a dream "How... How... How do you just say that so casually?!"

Minato shrugged "I dunno." he answered honestly. What was this boy's major malfunction... other than an identity disorder? "Did I upset you?"

"What? N-No, I uh..." Kotone suddenly began to feel hot again "I-I'm gonna.. go uh... Do things!" she said before running up the stairs and to her room.

Minato blinked again for a few moment before looking back at the TV.

She's weird He thought to himself before changing the channel. For some odd reason, he felt like something bad was happening.


Tartarus

"Come on, you bastards! Come and get me!" Sakuya taunted the hordes of shadows heading his way.

With his punishment from Ikutsuki over, he saw it as the perfect time to do some training. Since Mitsuru told Ikutsuki everything, there was no worry of SEES coming over and bumping into him.

Of course, with just a single target to focus on, it only took a few moments for him to be surrounded by hordes among hordes of shadows.

Sakuya grinned as the shadows that circled around him came closer and closer. To him, there were few things more exciting than a good fight every now and then.

"Izayoi!" He ordered as his persona, Scotus appeared behind him and his single light blue eye became a dark grey again.

As soon as Scotus materialized, several bright white orbs each resembling full moons appeared all around the area which only caused Sakuya's grin to widen even further as he began to laugh.

Just before a shadow that had approached from behind was about to pounce on the brunette swordsman, the white orbs exploded into an ever brighter light which caused all of the shadows to disappear into a puff of black smoke.

The boy slowly began to walk towards another horde of approaching shadows, even then he had a confident grin on his face.

With a chuckle, small knives suddenly appeared in the boy hands each of them being beyond razor sharp and like his swords, were each capable of harming Makoto.

When the shadows' distance had narrowed enough, Sakuya threw the knives in his hands. Each of the blades hit the chosen target almost dead on the mark which caused the shadows to let out shriek before fading into a black mist.

Sakuya outstretched his arms as he continued to walk towards the large horde "Come on, what's the matter? Come tear me apart!"

After saying his taunt, two blades appeared in the boys hands which he stabbed into the ground "Umbra!"

Just like his previous fight with Makoto, a thick dark shroud of darkness that affected everything but the castor himself. Even creatures such as shadows were blinded, despite some not even possessing anything resembling eyes.

With them blinded, Sakuya was easily able to cut them all down with nothing more than the two swords by his side. It was honestly a little amusing to see such powerful creatures be reduced to nothing more than helpless blind blobs

"Enough!" A loud inhuman voice shouted before a shot could be heard.

The bullet that had been fired barely missed Sakuya who had been caught completely off guard by the sudden entrance of the powerful shadow he had been warned about.

"So... Take it you're the evil, evil Reaper, huh?" Sakuya asked as be looked at the large floating shadow with a single bloodshot eye "There's this wonderful thing called 'blinking', I think it might help your eye."

The Reaper let out what seemed to be a sigh "Another one wanders into the Queen's tower, carrying a piece of her as well."

"Er... What?" Sakuya asked, not understanding the shadow's cryptic talk "You know what? Never mind, let's just kill you."

"Hmph, as insolent as the incarcerator." The Reaper said before taking aim "Very well."

Before The Reaper could pull the trigger, Sakuya seemingly vanished into a dark portal causing the bullet to harmlessly hit the ground.

"Hmm..." The Reaper sounded interested as it waited for the boy to appear "The shroud enables you to teleport, I see. But only within the shroud itself..." it concluded as it looked around its surroundings

"No matter..." The Reaper said before firing another shot causing what seemed to be hundreds of shadows to appear "Your fate is sealed."

"Do ya ever shut up?!" Sakuya yelled as he reappeared and seemed to take delight in the several shadows in the area "Thanks for bringing more, there's a new trick I wanted to try."

"Kill him!" The Reaper ordered as all of the shadows with their more intelligent brother's guidance began to converge around Sakuya who didn't seem threatened in the slightest

Taking a deep breath, Sakuya threw both of his swords into the ground and clutched his head as the thick shroud began to feel much more unstable.

Sakuya's eyes became darker to the point that they were almost black before the boy looked up with outstretched arms

"Kurayami No Kami!" Suddenly, the thick shroud became a mass of rapidly moving blades that tore everything within it to shreds.

The dark blood-like substance that shadows left began to decorate the halls as more and more shadows were cut into pieces. Not even The Reaper was unscathed as several of the solid spots on his body began to ooze the dark substance.

Then, the blades stopped and became nothing more than a thick shroud again.

"And The Reaper..." Sakuya laughed as Scotus appeared and didn't even give the final shadow any time to react before the it was cut in half by the persona's scythe "... has been reaped."

As soon as the final strike was done, the thick shroud summoned by Sakuya began to dissipate.

Sakuya laughed as he began to walk the now empty halls "Man, and SEES has trouble with that thing?" he asked no one in particular.

He'd been raised to be nothing more than a weapon for as far back as he could remember. He'd been used to clean up more than a few of Kirijo's, or rather Ikutsuki's messes in order to avoid them ever being discovered.

And during his many years as a living weapon, no one had survived a single one of his attempts to kill them...

... That is, until he tried to kill Makoto.

He knew that the fault wasn't entirely on the bluenette's skills. If SEES had arrived a few minutes later, the job would've been done.

But the fact remained, he still survived long enough that he did get to live to see another day. That alone was more than what anyone else had been able to do before.

Of course, now Makoto was expecting him. Before he was caught by surprise and didn't know a thing about him, and now that surprise was gone and he had at least some knowledge of what he could do now.

Either way, Makoto wasn't the only target Ikutsuki wanted taken care of. There was also some really strong guy who liked to wear hoods that showed up every now and then.

Like he had just done, this guy was also able to kill something like The Reaper and made SEES look like bitches by comparison.

Apparently, Ikutsuki found that someone as powerful as him was too powerful to leave unchecked. Since he clearly had no intention of joining SEES, then he had to be eliminated to avoid any further complications.

One thing was certain...

"Ha ha ha...!" Sakuya laughed as left the tower and briefly looked up at the moon that was now in its waxing gibbous phase "Man, I'm lookin' forward to the next full moon."


Last bit was added so that this chapter was more than just a few laughs. This chapter you got to SEES more of Minato, next you should see more of Makoto if all goes according to plan (happy Raze Olympus?!)

Do you enjoy playing with the hearts of those who like the pairing?

Yes... Yes I do. Hell, I enjoy playing with everyone's hearts because I'm an evil bastard. To put this into perspective : You know how Nights calls himself a psychopath? Well, I'm the Sociopath.

You people are idiots. By the way, where's-

*Is passed out due to shock/happiness*

... Oh. The AN/s really does change someone.

Yup, you're a bitch and our favorite Wild Card is kind of a yandere when you think about it.
