Chapter Text
"Yuji Itadori, by law, I will exorcise you as a curse!" Megumi shouts as he got ready to attack Yuji.
Noroi gasped as she quickly ran in front of Yuji, holding her hands out protectively, "Fire Dragon Wall!" She shouts and creates a wall of flames between them.
This made Yuji smile softly, feeling a little TOO excited that his fiancée was protecting him, but he still felt a bit distraught by it as well. He is her bodyguard, he should be the one protecting her, not the other way around. "Kitty, It's fine, I'm fine." He said as he gently placed his hand on her shoulder. "You don't need to worry. Besides, you look pretty beat up, we should get you to the hospital." He said as his eyes scanned over her body. Luckily, she wasn't TOO injured, a few cuts and bruises, but nothing TOO life threatening.
Noroi looked at him in shock and opened her mouth to say something. "What's the situation?" They heard a familiar voice, and they turned to see Gojo standing there between them. He was carrying a shopping bag in his arm.
Megumi dropped his attack stance as he looked at his teacher in shock and confusion. "Satoru Gojo, what are you doing here?" He asked and Gojo looked over at him and snickered.
"Hey, I wasn't planning on showing up, but you've got kind of roughed up, kid. I'll show the second years, say cheese!" He shouts as he whipped out his phone and started taking photos of Megumi with the flash on. Megumi shielded his face as Gojo laughed like a child doped up on sugar before he was finished. "I got an earful from the higher ups cause this Special Grade Cursed object is still missing." He explains why he was there, as he sends the photos to the second years. "Thought I would do a little sightseeing and stop by. So, did you find it yet?" He asked.
Yuji slowly raised his hand as he pointed to himself. "Uh...sorry, but...I ate that thing." He admitted a little nervously and there was a defining silence in the air as Gojo stared at Yuji in shock.
"Really?" He asked, shock laced in his voice as he gaped like a fish.
"I did. /He did." Megumi and Yuji said at the same time, as Noroi stayed silent.
Gojo leaned to the side, his eyes scanning over Yuji's body, as if he was looking for something. He then took a couple of steps closer to them, and Noroi knew what he was going to do, so she flung her hands out and created another wall of flames.
"Whoa!" He shouts in shock as he jumped back. "That was a close one." He said in a cheerful tone, but it was laced with annoyance as he eyed his student. "Noroi, why don't you lower the wall?" He asked, but it sounded more like an order. This made Megumi and Yuji glare at him, not liking how he was ordering their Bunny/Kitty around.
Yuji gently placed a hand on Noroi's shoulder causing her to look up at him. "It's okay, Kitty. You can drop the wall." He said in a gentle tone, but Noroi still looked unsure. But she trusted Yuji, so she lowered the wall. The moment that she did, she felt her feet leave the ground for a moment before she found herself sitting next to Megumi.
She blinked in confusion before she looked up to see her teacher, holding her shoulders as he smiled down at her. "There you now. Now you just stay right here while I talk to your...friend." Gojo said in a tone that made it sound like an order. He then turned around and walked back over to him, getting up close to his face for Yuji's discomfort. He threw his head back as he looked at Gojo in confusion and annoyance. He leaned in closer, which annoyed Yuji, but then he chuckled as he pulled his head back. "Damn, it did combine with you. That's hilarious!" He laughed, knowing what will happen to Yuji the moment the higher ups find out about this. "Anything off with your body?" He asked.
"Not particularly." Yuji said as he moves his body around to show him that he was fine.
Gojo backed away from him as he grinned, seeming way too excited about this. "Can you swap out with Sukuna?" He asked, wondering if Yuji was able to control the King of Curses.
"Sukuna?" Yuji asked in a shocked tone. He knew of the name from Noroi's family telling stories about him and Hino Ryu. He knew the stories, and he grew up looking up to Sukuna.
"The curse you ate." Gojo explained and Yuji frowned.
"I know what you were talking about, and yes, I think I can do that." Yuji said and suddenly Gojo started doing stretches.
"Then give us ten seconds. Once ten seconds are up, come back to us." He said in a cheerful tone. He wanted to see if Yuji was able to control the King of Curses, before he told the higher ups about him. Noroi and Megumi looked at their teacher in shock and worry. They were worried about what might happen to their best friend.
Yuji frowned, looking unsure about Gojo's plan. Mostly due to what Sukuna did to Noroi. "But-"
"Don't worry. I'm the strongest." Gojo said, cutting Yuji off. He then tossed his shopping bag over at the other two, smacking Megumi right in the face, which annoyed him.
Noroi looked down at the bag, confusion etched across her face. "What's in the bag?" She asked as she gently poked it.
This made her teacher grin, way too excited as he bent a little TOO close to her. "It's Kikufu, from Kikusua, it's Sendai's specialty, and it's super good! I recommend the Zunda and Cream flavor!" He said in a cheerful tone and the teenagers looked down at the bag in shock and annoyance, as they both realized that their teacher was out shopping, while they were fighting for their lives.
Gojo then leaned in closer as he shook his finger. "It's not a souvenir. I'm going to eat it on the bullet train home." He explained, before glancing at Noroi with a flirtatious smirk. "I can share some with you, cutie, if you want some." He said and Noroi's eyes widened in surprise as Megumi glared at him in disgust.
Noroi suddenly sensed a wave of bloodlust emit from Yuji and she looked at him, to see those same markings appear on his body again. He then jumps into the air and Megumi finally took notice. "Look out!" He shouts as he wrapped his arms around Noroi's waist and pulled her into his lap. Gojo ignored him just as Sukuna landed right where he was standing. Dust flew everywhere and Noroi covered her eyes to block the dust. Megumi hugged her tightly as he closed his eyes as well.
Once the dust cleared, they opened their eyes, only for them to gasp in fright as they found Sukuna sitting in front of them, his hands on either side of Megumi's legs, as he stared deeply into Noroi's eyes.
Noroi stared right into Sukuna's vibrant crimson eyes, and suddenly there was a static flicker in her vision. It was almost a dreamlike image that materialized before her eyes. A piercing gaze with eyes the color of red spider Lilles, her favorite flower.
The eyes...the four eyes were staring up at her, in an almost loving gaze, the face was blurred out, but she could still notice the other features, such as the eyes, and the hair. It was the color of cherry blossom trees. As quickly as the image came, it was gone the same, leaving behind a faint echo of bewilderment and a tinge of curiosity.
Noroi blinked, trying to chase after the image, but it slipped through her hands like sand.
"Oh, now that was interesting." She heard her teacher mutter, and she looked up to see him sitting on Sukuna's back, as he frowned, seeming annoyed by something.
Sukuna snapped out of his trance, growling in annoyance. He didn't like how this sea urchin was holding HIS Goddess, and he didn't like how this paintbrush was using him as a stool. He swiftly swung around, trying to attack Gojo, but the paintbrush just vanished. He then ran at him as he let out a battle cry. When he jumped at Gojo, he was met with air and landed harshly on his back.
This made Noroi gasp in worry as she tried to get out of Megumi's lap, but he pulled her back, holding her tighter.
Sukuna quickly got back to his feet and charged after Gojo, swinging his leg, trying to kick him in the head. But Gojo disappeared before he could land the hit, and this time Sukuna gracefully landed on his feet, before charging at Gojo again. Gojo disappeared like before and when he reappeared, Sukuna charged at him, but Gojo easily dodged his attack and got behind him. He leaned his head back and turned to whisper something in Sukuna's ear that pissed Sukuna off.
He growled in pure rage as he swung around, swinging his arm, but Gojo ducked in time and grabbed his arm. He then swung him around and hit him in the face.
This made Noroi gasp in fright as she struggled to get out of Megumi's lap. She didn't like how her teacher was beating up her best friend, even if he wasn't in control right now. But Megumi kept a firm grip on her, not letting her out of his hold.
Sukuna spun a full 360 degrees as he hovered in the air for a moment, before Gojo swung his arms downwards, the force sending Sukuna flying towards the other side of the roof, leaving a trail. "For crying out loud!" They heard Sukuna shout as he got up. "You Jujutsu sorcerers are always a pain in the ass, no matter what era! Though time doesn't have much meaning for me!" He shouts as he lunged at Gojo, trying to punch him, but Gojo disappeared before the hit could land and Sukuna destroyed part of the building.
The dust then cleared to reveal Gojo on the other side of the roof, counting. "Seven...eight...nine...and that should do it!" He shouts and suddenly Sukuna froze.
'Huh, what is this? why can't I take control of this brat's body!?' Sukuna thought in anger as Yuji started winning control of his body.
Noroi watched as the markings slowly disappeared and Yuji's head flopped down, before it shot up, his eyes wide with panic. "Oh, how did it go?" He asked in a worried tone.
Gojo looked at him in shock before he snickered. "How about that, so you really can control that guy."
"He's kind of annoying though, to tell the truth." Yuji said as he hit the side of his head.
Gojo snickered as he started walking over to him. "It's a miracle that is all he is doing." He then before he warped over to Yuji and tapped him on his forehead. This caused Yuji's eyes to roll back, and he fell forward, but luckily Gojo caught him in his arms.
Noroi gasped in shock and worry. Gojo then turned and tightly smiled. "I just knocked him out, so don't you worry your pretty little butt." He said and Megumi frowned as he looked at him in disgust. "Now I have a question for you both. What do we do with him?" He asked.
"Well, even if he is a vessel, Jujutsu regulation demands him to be executed." Megumi said and Noroi looked at him in worry. "However, I don't want him to die." Noroi looked back over to their teacher and nodded her head.
This caused Gojo to frown, getting jealous of how protective Noroi was towards Yuji. "Personal feeling?" He asked and the two looked at him confusion.
"Yuji is both of our best friend, so yes, it's a personal feeling, Gojo." Megumi growled out, figuring why he asked.
"P-Please do something about it." Noroi whimpered out as she started to cry a little. The thought of losing her best friend since childhood, deeply upset her.
This made Gojo's heart twist, and he felt butterflies in his gut. He sighed, knowing he could never say no to her when she got like this. "A request from a precious student? Leave it to me, Flamy!" He shouts as he disappeared, taking Yuji with him.
Megumi frowned, feeling unsure leaving Yuji with Gojo. They both saw the way he acts around Noroi, and they understand he is flirting with her, which disgusts them. So, they don't know if it's just Noroi that he likes, or Gojo...is into...THAT!
------------Time skip------------
Megumi and Noroi were waiting outside the morgue while their teacher talk to Yuji about what he plans on doing. Noroi was upset that he chose to talk about it, while her best friend cremated his grandfather.
The atmosphere was awkward, as Megumi was too worried to initiate the conversation. He was worried about Yuji and what Gojo was telling him or doing to him in there, so he tried his best to listen in on their conversation. But all he got was plain gibberish, so he ultimately gave up.
"What do you think will happen, Gumi?" Noroi suddenly asked, nervousness laced in her voice. He looked over at her and sighed.
"Yuji is going to join our school. He will train to be a Jujutsu sorcerer." He says, half lying to her. He knew Yuji wouldn't want her to know the full truth. It would crush the poor girl, as she was soft for her own good. "So, um...did you get yourself checked out?" He asked.
"I did." She answered as she showed him her arms, so he could see the bandages wrapped around them. She knew both him and Yuji would freak out if she didn't.
"How come you are not in there with Yuji?" He asked as he pointed to the door. He knew how attached she was to Yuji's grandfather, despite the girl barley seeing the old man. So, he thought she would be in there with Yuji.
"I tried to go in there...but Satoru wouldn't let me in there." Noroi explained in a sad tone as she frowned. She didn't understand why her teacher kicked her out of the morgue so he could talk to Yuji.
This made Megumi frown for two reasons. One, Noroi called Gojo by his first name. He's been trying to get her to stop, but every time him and Yuji finally get her to stop, Gojo whines and complains, so Noroi goes right back to doing it. And two, he didn't like that Gojo kicked Noroi out of the room, so he could talk to Yuji...alone. He stopped trusting that man the moment he started being weird towards a child.
"Am I going somewhere?" They heard Yuji's voice as the door opened. They made them turn to the door.
"Tokyo." Megumi answered and Yuji looked at them shocked, but also happy.
"Ah, there you guys are! I was worried about you!" He shouts with a large smile. He then bounced over to them, wrapping his arms around them. This caused Megumi to groan in annoyance, but he didn't move to get out of the hug. Noroi just giggled and hugged Yuji back.
"Enough of that now." Gojo said in a harsh tone as he glared at the two boys. Noroi looked at him in confusion, while the boys glared at the paintbrush.
"Here is the deal, Yuji." Megumi said, getting the attention back on him. "You are going to the school for jujutsu sorcerers, the one Bunny and I attend." He explained and this made Yuji even more excited.
Gojo then clapped his hands, getting the attention back on him. "You will be one of only four first years there!" He explained while he held up five fingers.
Yuji looked at him in shock. "Only four!?" He asked in disbelief as Noroi giggled and nodded her head.
