Work Text:
Gojo Satoru is pissed, an understatement really. When he gets a call from Tsumiki saying that they want to go to the park, Satoru allows it. He thinks the children must’ve been bored not doing anything.
Satoru decided to finish the mission early. If he finishes early, maybe he can catch up with his kids in the park. Yet, when he finishes his mission and goes to the park, he can’t find the kids.
Satoru concludes that the children must’ve gone home already. Though he is a bit disappointed that he can't play with the kids he resolutes to take the children somewhere tomorrow.
“I’m home!” Satoru calls out.
Silence
No one answers. Satoru calls out once more but nobody answers. Worry begins to settle in his heart, and Satoru quickly checks every room.
Maybe the children are playing pranks
But no, it’s worse. The children aren’t home.
Where?
Satoru begins to panic, he frantically calls Tsumiki only for no one to pick up. Satoru calls, again and again, but no one seems to pick up.
Someone took them, someone took his children.
Deep uncontrollable rage courses through Satoru. He will kill them, whoever took his children.
Satoru begins to search trying to pinpoint Megumi and Nobara’s cursed energy. That’s when he sensed Megumi and Nobara’s cursed energy, surrounded by other cursed energy.
Satoru teleports and finds himself in front of an old abandoned building.
This is where they keep his children? How fucking dare they.
Satoru is about to enter however, he stops in his tracks when he feels a malevolent cursed energy. The cursed energy in itself is quite heavy and something that Satoru has never felt. His heart paces when he feels that cursed energy near his children.
Satoru looks towards the second floor, the place where the cursed energy suddenly appears. Satoru looks around, the building is in an alleyway, with no one watching Satoru can freely use his power.
Satoru blasts a small cursed technique to where the cursed energy appears. He floats to the hole in the wall.
Rage
That’s the only thing Satoru can feel when he sees his children. They’re all injured and crying. Satoru’s eyes narrow when he sees blood on them. He glares at every single man who kidnaps his children.
“T-Toru!” Yuji shouts in relief. Satoru snaps his eyes towards Yuji. The kid is injured, but surprisingly, the injuries seem to heal.
Not only that, Satoru can feel the malevolent cursed energy from Yuji. Satoru will think about it later, for now he has children to save and assholes to beat.
“Old man you are late!” Nobara shouts, however you can hear the relief in her tone. The children, seeing Satoru, feel relieved.
“Hero arrives late, no?” Satoru smiles towards Nobara, trying to calm her down.
I’m here, I will protect you
“Now,” Satoru glares at the men holding his children.
“Let go of my children,” the men look towards one another. Satoru’s eyes grow colder.
“Are you all deaf? Release my children,” with that the pressure around the room grows, however the children aren’t affected. The men quickly release all the children.
Yuji, Nobara, and Megumi quickly run towards Tsumiki who is holding her bleeding shoulder.
“Tsumiki-nee!”
Seeing that the children are finally saved, Satoru goes to them and teleports. They all arrive at Tokyo Jujutsu High medical room. Shoko looks at them startled however before she can say anything, Satoru teleports back.
“So, where were we?” Satoru looks towards the men who are still frozen in their spots.
“W-why are you all standing there? G-get him!” The person who seems to be the leader shouts at his men.
“B-but boss, t-that’s Gojo Satoru,” one of the men stuttered in fear.
“I don’t c-” Satoru teleports behind the leader and smashes his head to the ground, making the ground crack.
Seeing this everyone flinches as they can see blood dripping to the floor.
“You seem to be the leader. Tell me, who sent you?” Satoru stares at the man’s bleeding face.
“L-like I’ll tell yo-” the man’s face meets the floor once again.
“Answer me,”
“Z-Zenin, it was the Zenin!” The man is screaming.
“Thanks for the information,” as soon as Satoru said that, he ripped the man’s head and threw it to the ground.
Satoru looks toward the man’s lifeless eyes in satisfaction. He is glad that the children aren’t here to witness this. He doesn’t want the children to be afraid of him.
Satoru looks toward the rest of the men in the room. A grin stretches across his face.
“What’s the matter? Scared? That’s what my children felt too you know,” none of the men want to move, they only look toward each other. Satoru laughs, his eyes crazed.
“I’ll enjoy killing you bastards one by one,”
With that, one of the men shoots Satoru with his gun. However, before the bullet can hit him, it stops in mid-air before falling to the ground uselessly.
Satoru sets his eyes on the man who is holding the gun. With unknown speed, Satoru appears in front of the man.
The man flinches seeing Satoru’s deranged grin. Satoru grabs the man's head with both of his hands and does a knee strike right in the man’s face, breaking his nose. Satoru throws the man away like garbage.
The other men charge at him. However, before they can reach him, their arms and legs are destroyed. Blood splatters to the ground as the men scream in pain.
“Not so tough now huh?” the men glare at Satoru, however Satoru is unfazed.
“I’m done playing with you people. Nothing will be left of you. Your leader, on the other hand, will make a great warning for the Zenin,” Satoru walks toward the head of the leader. He then grabs it by the hair and looks towards the rest of the injured men.
“Cursed technique lapse: blue,” with that nothing is left of the building except for debris.
Satoru wants to go straight to his children, however he has a certain clan to visit. The Zenin clan better be ready, because Gojo Satoru is going to rain hell upon them.
Satoru teleports inside the Zenin Clan estate. He walks along the hallway intending to find the clan head. Many of the workers stop and stare at Satoru who is walking while holding a man’s head.
Satoru slams the door towards the Zenin higher-ups open. The Zenin, who are in the middle of the meeting, are startled as they look toward Satoru in shock.
“Well it seems that everyone is here,” Satoru says lightly as he throws the man’s head. Everyone backs away in fear.
“W-what’s the meaning of this Gojo?!” Naobito looks enraged.
“You know what I mean,” Satoru looks towards Naobito, his icy glare makes him flinch. The other clansmen who see this cower in fear
“This is my last warning to you bastards. If any of you target my children, I will personally end you all,” Satoru turns back and is about to leave the room when one of the men shouts.
“Y-you think you will get away with this?!” The man charges at Satoru. Without looking, Satoru sends the man flying and destroys his arms and legs just like did to the kidnappers.
The man shouts in pain as the clansman tries to help him.
“Seems you forget who I am, I am the strongest,” Satoru leaves the Zenin Clan estate and teleports back to Tokyo Jujutsu High. He needs to see his children.
As Satoru is about to enter the medical room, Shoko opens the door. She looks towards Satoru with a raised eyebrow and sighs.
“They are sleeping,” Shoko opens the door wider and Satoru sees that his children are indeed asleep.
“Seriously, you should explain instead of dropping them here and going away without warning,”
“I was busy,” Satoru grins, making Shomo roll her eyes.
“Threatening someone?”
“The Zenin,” Satoru looked towards the kids. It seems that Shoko has already healed them.
However, with things calming down, there is something that remains a mystery to Satoru.
Yuji
He was the source of that malevolent cursed energy. Satoru is confused, he uses his six eyes to check on Yuji’s cursed energy.
Seems that while Yuji is the source, the malevolent cursed energy is calming down. It almost feels like the energy is converted. While it still holds a bit of malice, it’s tam . Now it feels calm and warm, almost like how Yuji is.
“Shoko, can you check on Yuji?” Shoko turns to Satoru in confusion.
“The pink-haired one, his name is Itadori Yuji. He was a non-sorcerer until today,” Shoko looks towards S,atoru in surprise.
“How i,s that possible?”
“I don’t know, all I know is that I felt a malevolent cursed energy and I found out that the source was from Yuji. Although the cursed energy right now is calmer than before,”
“Well, the only way to know is to ask the kid if he feels different. I’ve checked him and nothing seems to be wrong with him,”
“I see, thank you Shoko,” Shoko waves Satoru off. She stares at Satoru who still has a cold look on his face.
“You should clean up and gather yourself, wouldn’t want to scare the children,” Satoru pouts at her.
“Shoko~ that’s mean!”
Something deep within Satoru doesn’t want to leave the children.
What if they have nightmares?
Who will calhuggedem down?
What if someone hurts them?
“Just go, Idiot. I’ll look after them,” Shoko sighs and Satoru reluctantly does as she says.
---------------------------
Yuji blinks his eyes open.
Bright
As he adjusts his eyesight, Yuji tries to remember what happened.
We were kidnapped and then… Toru appear
Yuji gets up and looks around him, finding the others still asleep but fine. Yuji sighs in relief.
“Up already?” Satoru’s soft voice makes Yuji look towards him in happiness.
“Toru!” Yuji tries to get out of bed however, Satoru stops him.
“Hey, no getting out of bed. You’re still hurt,” Yuji pouts at him.
“But, I’m fine,”
“No,” Satoru says firmly as he sits beside Yuji.
“You need rest, especially after what happened,” Yuji sighs and nods. Satoru’s eyes soften and he pats Yuji’s hair.
“Toru,” Yuji calls out. Satoru lets out a hum as he doesn’t stop patting Yuji’s hair.
“Is there something wrong with me?” With that, Satoru stops patting Yuji’s hair.
"What's with the question?”
“I-it’s just, something happened back in that old building. I was so angry and something just snapped and I..,” Satoru looks towards Yuji encouragingly.
“I cut that man’s arm off,” Yuji finished off with a whisper.
Satoru can see that Yuji looks conflicted. Satoru understands, Yuji is a kid. The fact that he and the rest were kidnapped and he cut a man’s arm off must be traumatizing for him.
They are children, his children.
Damn those Zenin.
“Yuji,” Satoru calls him and smiles softly.
“You are protecting the others. While I don’t know how you are suddenly able to use a cursed technique, you are not a monster. You are protecting your family, and no matter what, I am proud,” Yuji looks towards Satoru with tears in his eyes.
“You are a good kid, Yuji,” Yuji hugs Satoru tightly. Satoru returns the hug as he smiles.
“Ugh! Isn’t this too sentimental,” Nobara’s voice can be heard as Yuji releases Satoru.
“Aw~ Nobara-chan if you want a hug you could’ve said it,” Satoru grins, making Nobara blush in embarrassment.
“I don’t want a hug from you!”
“Can you all be quiet? Some of us are trying to sleep,” Megumi’s sharp voice cuts through as well.
“Megumi-chan~ glad to see you awake,” Satoru walks towards Megumi and ruffles his hair. Megumi swats Satoru's hands away in irritation.
“Satoru-san,” Tsumiki’s soft voice can be heard as the other children go towards her.
“Tsumiki-nee!” Tsumiki laughs as the other children climb up her bed.
“Tsumiki,” Satoru hugs Tsumiki
“Don’t hog Tsumiki-nee!” Nobara glares at Satoru.
“Seriously, don't shout,” Megumi scowls
“I think my ears are bleeding,” Yuji jokes
“Come here all of you,” Satoru says as he grabs the other children to join their hug. The children slumps in Satoru’s embrace as they feel safe once more.
They are ok and they will be ok
