Dealing with Toko

Makoto was a bit hesitant to enact the next part of his plan, but he needed to do it. The issue was... well... how?

He walked towards Toko's room from Junko's. Each step causing his heart to pound more and more. It wasn't that he was nervous to see Toko. He didn't like her, he didn't hate her. But he knew that if he didn't play this PERFECTLY things could go south, very south, in a hurry.

He approached the door and gently knocked on it.

He waited... and waited... and waited... no answer.

"Hey uh... Toko?" he called out. He knew she was in there. She didn't go anywhere except the dining hall for food. She had herself locked away in here basically all the rest of the time.

"W-w-w-what is it..?" a frail voice practically whispered from the other side of the door. "D-d-did someone end up getting k-k-k-killed?"

"No. It's not that. I just wanted to check in with you."

"I'm fine!" she practically yelled from the other side of the door.

This was going to be hard.

"Is there any chance I could come in?" he asked.

There was no reply, then a fumbling on the other side of the door.

"Gwah!" she cried out from her room.

"Toko! Are you okay?!" he boomed in reply.

"W-w-w-why would you wanna come in my r-room?!" she said in a panic.

"I wanna talk to you. But it's hard to do that from behind this door."

There was a lengthy pause before he heard the lock click. The door slowly opened and Toko peeked out.

"W-what do you w-want..?" she asked, a flash of rage in her eyes "Y-you don't actually want to h-h-hang out with me. N-nobody does..." she hissed

"Well... I didn't want to specifically hang out. I wanted..." he began.

He knew he had two options. Being direct, or trying to trick her. But tricking wasn't exactly his strong suit, and if she picked up on it, he was screwed.

"I was actually hoping... to read some of your poems." he said.

"M-m-my...?" she stammered.

"I'd really appreciate it. That is, if you have some here."

"W-w-why do you..?"

Makoto froze. He hadn't thought that far ahead.

"Uh well..." he stammered.

"It might help with our escape" he heard from behind him, as Kyoko approached.

"Kyoko!" he called out in surprise.

"Y-you..? Why are you dressed like such a s-s-slut?" Toko said, a mischievous grin and blush on her face. Kyoko's eyes went wide, as a blush formed on her face as well.

"Just... could you please let us read some? Or read it for us?"

Toko looked down at her feet a moment before stepping away from the door, leaving it open.

Kyoko nodded to him and entered, and he followed behind her.

As they entered the room they saw... a total mess.

Clothes laying all over, the bed destroyed, spoiled food strewn around. It was truly disgusting.

"She... needs to clean" he muttered to himself.

"Here!" she barked, throwing a stack of papers at them. "Though I don't know w-w-why you think these could help."

"Monokuma seems to know a lot about us. We need to be ready in case he tried to use our backgrounds against us" Kyoko said.

"That m-m-makes sense" she said.

The two began looking over the pages. Makoto needed a way to make Toko herself read it though.

But after a time...

"H-h-hey uh..." she stammered.

"What is it Toko?"

Toko bashfully looked down, beads of sweat forming on her head.

"Toko?"

"T-t-there's... a poem I don't have written d-d-down... that m-might be impor...important..."

Makoto and Kyoko exchanged a look.

"Well... what is it?" Makoto asked.

"I call it th-th-the... m-monster ins-inside..."

There was another pause, before Toko started to recite.

"There is a m-monster in..." she began, before trailing off. Makoto looked around, seeing both Toko and Kyoko spaced out.

"Action successful. Active Trigger Unlocked: Switch Up. Cleanup Time: Two minutes." she recited.

"Switch up?" he said aloud.

And, as usual, he flipped to his handbook.

(1) Toko Fukawa - Get her horny (Red)

"E-excuse me?!" Makoto said aloud. How was he supposed to do THAT?

"Rrg... problem for another time." he grumbled, before looking at the trigger he just unlocked.

Toko Fukawa Triggers:

- Switch Up (Active): Saying the words "Switch up" will switch between Toko's personalities. (WARNING: USE WITH **** CAUTION... also trust me. You'll need this one.)

"Wait... what?" he asked, confused. "Use with caution? I guess... I'll wait on using this one, then." he said.

He quickly took time to pop Kyoko's tits out of her top, which was honestly a simple task with the dress she wore being so revealing. He began to play with her for the remainder of the cleanup before the two women woke.

He immediately noticed Kyoko's hand make a deft motion across her chest, covering her breasts again. She seemed practiced at that... was that top malfunctioning becoming normal?

"Well" she interjected, a blush fading from her cheeks again "Thank you Toko. I'm sure this will be very helpful"

"T-t-that's... good..." Toko said, as she dejectedly hid herself in the corner of the room, piling her work away.

The two exited the room, which clicked locked behind them.

"Kyoko, why did you--?" Makoto started to ask.

"You're really naive, you know that?" she replied.

"Huh?!"

"Makoto. If you wanted to be alone with other people, you could have just told me. You didn't have to go to the trouble of getting rid of me." she said, a slight pang of annoyance in her voice. She then pointed to his pocket.

"And you didn't need to make, and shouldn't have made, those keys" she added, a bit of a hiss in her voice.

"It's not that I wanted to be alone with them, it's..." he began, before stopping.

"You said you trust me, right?" Kyoko said, in more of a statement than a question.

He was taken aback. He did trust her...

"Look... Monokuma gave me a little... job." he said. Kyoko's eyebrow raised

"A job?"

"Yeah... he said as long as I do it, he'll hold off on giving people motives to kill" he sighed.

The two looked at one another for a good few seconds, but to Makoto it felt like an eternity... until Kyoko's face softened.

"So you're doing it to keep us all safe?" she said. "I know you aren't lying. You're not very good at it."

It's true he wasn't exactly lying. But he didn't tell her the more personal benefit to this deal.

"Anyway. If you need help with whatever this thing is with Monokuma, let me know. I want to help you. Especially if it keeps everyone safe" she added.

"Well if you really do want to help..." he began "I was going to deal with Celeste next. And I may need help getting her to uh... welcome me."

Kyoko thought a moment and then smiled at him. A sweet, sincere smile that he hadn't seen before.

"Okay. I have a plan." she affirmed.
