Chapter Text
"[Last Name]-san, are you even worried?"
You blinked and stopped sweeping the leaves on the ground to look at the assistant, who is also waiting with you for the certain Jujutsu sorcerer.
You smiled, "What do you mean by that?"
His hands fidgeted worriedly, "I mean, he is taking care of a special grade curse! The strongest level of a curse, he might be in danger!" He exclaims.
A chuckle escapes your lips before smiling reassuringly, "Are you perhaps new? Then, I'll just tell you this,"
You closed your eyes and grinned, "He is the strongest Jujutsu sorcerer, a mere special grade curse is no match for him," you paused and thought, "Well, he'll probably be back in a minute."
A hearty laugh interrupted your conversation. "You're wrong again, [First Name]. But to think that you think that highly of me, I'm glad!"
You turned around, he suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Gojo Satoru did.
"Assistant Mori, please inform the higher-ups about this." You smiled. He nods, still surprised by how fast Satoru took care of the curse. He went back to his car and heads off.
You turned back to Satoru, who kept smiling relaxedly. "To answer your statement earlier, I do respect and think highly of you, sensei."
You took out a handkerchief and looked at him, "Sensei, I told you didn't I? You should not let your hands get dirty by the curse's blood?" You sigh.
"It's not like it's going to affect me in any way." He responded, holding out his hand in front of you. "But it's dirty."
"But [First Name], you're going to clean it up anyway." You blink.
You raised your head and looked at him. He still has his goofy smile but just now, his tone sounded serious.
You smiled.
"Your hands are pretty so you should take care of them." You gently rubbed the cloth on his hand and cleaning it.
"I just noticed this but do you perhaps have a hand fetish?" He laughs. "Oh please, it's not like that," you smiled, pulling your hand from his own after cleaning. "I just said that your hands are pretty, nothing more than that."
You raised your head and looked at him, "Do you want to go somewhere before we go back?"
Gojo grins, "Since we're in Sendai, I want to buy some souvenirs."
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
You munch on your own snack as you wait for Gojo, who has already taken an hour choosing souvenirs. And then all of a sudden, you felt your phone vibrate for a moment, indicating a notification or perhaps a message.
Your hand slides inside your pocket and takes out your phone, checking it.
'[Last Name]-san, are you with Gojo-san right now?' The message was from Kiyotaka. You blinked and tapped your phone before pressing it to your ear. He picked up.
"Kiyotaka-san? Sensei is with me right now, do you perhaps need something?" you said, placing another snack on your lips before looking back at the enthusiastic man.
"He is not picking up his phone at all! Please tell him to immediately go to Sugisawa Highschool! The higher-ups are not pleased to hear that a first-year student is the one handling the mission!" he exclaims on the other line of the phone, making you pull the phone away from your ears due to the volume.
You chuckle, "It's rare for you to be so flustered, Kiyotaka-san. Alright, I'll tell him immediately." You could hear a faint sigh of relief on the other side. "Please do so, [Last Name]-san." And so, the call ended.
You finished your snack and threw it into the nearby trashcan before approaching the man. "Sensei, are you done now?"
He looks at you, "Hey, hey, what do you think should I choose? Everything looks good!"
You looked at the products on display, "Well, since it's Sendai, why not choose the kikufuku?" You smiled. The aura around him lightened up and he nods, "Oh, you got some nice taste, [First Name]."
As he went on telling the clerk that he's going to buy the food, you started talking. "Sensei, the higher-ups are demanding you to go to Sugisawa Highschool. Kiyotaka-san just contacted me," you said. "Megumi is already there so there's no need to worry," he replied. "Well, that's the problem, they said."
You paused before lowering your gaze, "What kind of mission was it, to make the higher-ups that desperate?"
Gojo looked at you.
Once in a while, this goofy man would sometimes get serious and hesitant. And right now, he's on the latter.
There was a moment of silence before he broke it off himself. "Sukuna's finger was sealed in Sugisawa." he simply replied before taking the bag from the clerk and paying for it.
You smiled and followed behind him as he leaves the store, "If that's all it was about, then there's no need to hesitate." In response, he chuckled. "And who said I hesitated?"
All of a sudden, he turns around to look at you and grabbed your hand out of nowhere. "Warping over there is much faster, right?" he grins. You couldn't help but sigh, "Sensei, you really need to ask for permission before doing that..." you walked closer to him, holding his hand as well.
Before I knew it, we already arrived at our supposed destination.
There is an injured Megumi, a half-naked boy, and a destroyed huge curse. "What's the situation?" Gojo asks, Megumi turns around and was surprised by both of your presence.
"Gojo-sensei and [Last Name]-senpai! What are you doing here?!"
Gojo ignored his question and took out his phone, "Man, you're really messed up. I should show all the second years." he laughs as he takes multiple pictures of his own student. After taking enough, he placed his phone back in his pocket.
"[First Name] was with me earlier and I just don't wanna leave her there so I brought her with me. I wasn't gonna come at first but the higher-ups got involved after hearing that a special grade cursed object went missing. I agreed to come as long as I have time to see the sights." he paused. You glanced at Megumi, he looked quite nervous. "So, did you find it?" Gojo continued.
And then the other boy pointed at himself. "Sorry, I ate it."
The four of you went silent.
"For real?" the teacher asked, "For real." and his student confirmed it.
You sigh, "What happened here to end up like this...?" you mutter to yourself as Gojo observed the boy. You went over to Megumi, lightly tapped his shoulder then used your Reverse Cursed technique, instantly healing his wounds. "Thank you for that, [Last Name]-senpai." he nod.
You simply smiled, "I'm only doing my job."
All of a sudden, Gojo tossed the bag of souvenirs at you. "[First Name], hold on to this for me, will ya?" You caught it and held the bag in your arms. "What's that, [Last Name]-senpai?" he asked, curiosity in his tone. "Kikufuku mochi." Gojo replied in your stead. You awkwardly chuckle, seeing the boy's reaction.
"It's not a souvenir, that's for me to eat on the bullet train home." Gojo corrected as if reading what was in his student's mind. Taking that as an advantage, the boy, whose body is now filled with lines, tried to attack him but Gojo easily dodges it.
"My students are watching so... I hope you don't mind if I show off a little." he smiled, before grabbing the boy's wrist and punching his head. "Ah, that looks painful..." you wince, imagining the pain. Megumi looked at you, "[First Name]-san, I'm sorry but can you do me a favor?" You looked at him.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"Huh? Megumi, where's [First Name]? Did she left already? I wanted to eat the mochi with her on the way home though." Gojo asks, still holding singlehandedly the unconscious Yuji in his arm.
Megumi looked at the messed up door, which leads inside the school. "Well... I asked her to check on the other two students inside. I'm worried that there might be some curses lingering inside too but my body is already tired." He replied, trying to stand up but failed anyways.
Gojo paused for a second before placing Yuji besides Megumi. "Well, watch him for a bit. I'll call someone to pick you two up." He grinned before entering the building.
He hums to himself, as he locate where the school infirmary. That's the only reasonable place where you could be after all.
He opens the door, the light was coming out from the space between the door and the floor. "Yo. Are they alright?"
You turned around and looked at him after stopping what you were doing. Arranging the things inside the infirmary. You nod, "The girl is fine but the boy was controlled by a curse earlier. But it's fine now, I've already eliminated the rest of the curse inside his body." You smiled glancing at they two who were laying on the separate bed.
He laughs, "You're really reliable, arentcha?" He sat down in a nearby chair.
"You were fighting pretty wildly earlier. Is everything fine now?" You asked, cleaning your hands with rubbing alcohol. "Of course. I made him unconscious for the moment," He smiled.
"Megumi asked me to spare him so I'm going to ask the higher-ups later about it. If that boy can eat all of Sukuna's finger and still regain his control, he'll be a powerful Jujutsu sorcerer." He continued. You blink, observing his expression.
You gave a hearty chuckle, "I got a feeling that you're going to get attached to him." He grins, "It seems that boy and I clicks together. But don't worry, you will still be my favorite student, no need to get jealous."
"And who said I'll get jealous? Besides, you're not my teacher anymore, you know? I'm already a third year student." You sigh, only to receive a laugh from him.
"Did you feel uncomfortable earlier? After being in Sukuna's presence again?"
You smile dropped as you glance at him. "I wonder what you mean by that." You look away immediately as you heads off towards the door. "I'm going home now. I've already healed these two, I no longer have anything to do here."
Gojo stands up, "I'm going too, I need to talk about this with the principal." He ignored the topic that he just suddenly brought up and just went along. You smiled, "Alright."
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"Sensei said that he'll call someone but, why is it that nobody coming?" Megumi deadpans.
