Gardener

Nijuuroku- Gardener gets glass in his face.

[M/N][L/N]

The dust cleared up and I could see Itadori's bashing his face into Mahito's before giving him a good kick. I decided to step back in but Nanami arrived and told me to hold back. I needed to be ready to go on defence for the both of them. Honestly, it ticked me off how little I was partaking in this and standing around being useless. I don't want to be Sakura trash. I guess I have to become more useful. My cat appeared by my side but jumped into my shadow. He ran out of cursed energy from today.

I started dropping poison ivy on the ground with Deadly Nightshade. It grew and managed to start causing Mahito's body to turn red and it loomed painful, great. Just a bit more. With that, Nanami was able to enter the battlefield and hurt Mahito's arm before Mahito could attack Itadori. Somewhat, I could hear Itadori's words when he was asked for a report. Somehow, I only felt Itadori's kindness even further when he said he couldn't save two people.

When he was asked to give a report of his physical state, he said he was fine but full of holes which made me sigh. That's not fine, idiot. Honestly, I don't know how Itadori could be dumber than me sometimes. He puts me to shame. The battle resumed right away with Nanami and Itadori trading blows until Mahito was changing into many different forms. He even turned into a child which let me drop kick him before cutting off his arm with my shovel.  I was aiming for his head next but h spat out weird hollowed blobs at me which made me back off.

There were around 15 of these distorted children. Most of them went after me while the rest went after Itadori. He had to run a bit onto a roof to try and get away since he didn't want to kill them. Meanwhile, I started swinging my shovel around and killing them off easily in a matter of seconds. Right as Mahito used his mutated hand to pin Nanami to the wall. I ran up behind him, before jumping and in one swing, I decapitated his head. Itadori jumped down from the floor above.

The glass shattered and fell in my face but luckily I was looking down so nothing got in my eyes. Just a few scratches here and there. Reckless Itadori but efficient. At least it made Mahito back off as he reattached his head. Ew. The three of us started rushing his to exchange blows with me using my shovel. He clearly had nowhere to go but he kept up that smile. His jaw suddenly dropped and hands appeared up from the ground, blocking me off from the other two. Did he just use Domain Expansion? If so... I put down my shovel into the ground before pressing my hands together.

"Domain Expansion"

Immediately, the hands closing in on me backed off and I managed to occupy that part of the domain. I stopped the Domain and was back to see Itadori smashing his fists aggressively against this black orb. I grabbed my shovel from the ground with a huff. I ran up to him and told him to follow me before hopping up on top. I told him to break the barrier and I would fight his domain inside. As Itadori puched it. I realised it would be easier to use the cutting edge and strike it down which Itadori helped me as he jumped on the step of my shovel, breaking into the domain.

Right as we landed I felt something really strong from Itadori before Mahito started getting cut up out of thin air, bleeding excessively everywhere before the domain broke completely. Landing on my feet, I realised Mahito was escaping after Itadori punched him one last time so I ran towards the sewers quickly before raising my shovel and aiming for his disgusting form but all that came off was a part that turned into an arm. The curse looked at me before telling us goodbye and that it was fun. Nanami quickly told someone to scout the sewers from where we were to Southeast.

"Domain Expansion-!" I halted hearing Nanami's voice

"Itadori-kun!" Nanami yelled

"Wha-Itadori?" I asked turning around.

Quickly, I got down on my knees by Itadori's side while Nanami was next to him calling out his name. I raised my hands and hovered them above Itadori quietly. Hoping he was okay. Please stop worrying me, Itadori. Barely, the holes in his body started closing but I couldn't get it all the way and had used a lot of cursed energy by then. At least, it wasn't as big anymore. My cat came out of the shadows and put his paws on Itadori's forehead, trying to heal whatever he could but he backed off into my shadow with a hiss. Probably Sukuna.

Really, I don't remember what happened next but we managed to return to Jujutsu Tech where Itadori was given treatment. I tried staying awake the whole time but eventually I had to sit down or I would pass out. Nanami asked me if I was alright as I stumbled slightly to sit down at a couch. Training before going directly into battle was not good especially for 4 hours straight. I tried waving him off but nausea overcame me as the room became slightly dizzy so I had to shut my mouth and be quiet.

While I was waiting for the world to be spinning less, I felt someone touch my back before being lifted up slightly. The person adjusted themselves so it was their arm on my back and their hand supporting my head. I groaned slightly as something cold was pressed against my lips but drank it anyways. It felt good and eventually the drink was pulled away from my lips. I thanked the person as my vision cleared slight. It was Nanami. I apologised for bothering him but he reassured me it was fine as he put a pillow under my head.

Gently, Nanami set me back down before I heard his footsteps moving further away but they came back with another person. It couldn't be Ieiri since she was with Itadori so I guess it had to be Ijichi. I heard the sound of clicks and a the sound of something hitting the ground. I was going to reassure them that I was light-headed until Ijichi apologised to me for not being there. He was called in at that moment so he left. Nanami sighed before apologising for his terrible medical aid skills.

A/N: Had to cut the scene off here, fun fact (M/N) gets his shovels from an expensive gardening shop but he only uses those for gardening. He gets his fighting shovels from a still slightly more expensive shop but asks Gojo to help him imbue it with cursed energy. Gojo likes using the opportunity to prank him though by making it slippery with cooking oil. As a result (M/N) constantly has to clean his shovels and hide them from Gojo.

Thanks for reading btw!
Stay safe everyone!

Kugisaki: Good friends. She thinks (M/N) is a dumbass because once he asked if there was a difference between 2+2 and 2x2. They're fans of watching cat videos together which makes (M/N)'s cat jealous. She finds it weird he needs visual aids to study and has to record the lessons to listen back to them.

Fushiguro: Awkward friendly buddies for now. They eat together a lot and (M/N) eats all of Fushiguro's red peppers which he is thankful for. He finds (M/N) to be weird especially with his study method because his cat needs to help him and he can't read long paragraphs. He likes (M/N)'s bread too.
