Bodies Bound

I Just Wanted To See

I was walking with Gojo and the young Itadori, who was the boy that ate Sukuna's finger, we were on the path up to the school. I held onto my Master's sleeve as usual since I never really knew where we were going or where we were. I stood in the middle, between Itadori and Gojo.

They talked and I stayed out of the conversation. We walked up a cobble bricked path that led up hill until we came to the stairs to the main building. I felt Gojo's arm behind me, not touching me, but still there.

"There's stairs here (Y/n)-Chan. Up, good, there's a few more." Gojo guided me up the staircase very slowly to make sure I wouldn't fall.

"Excuse me. Um- why do you need help up the stairs?" It was Itadori, he was a few stairs behind us.

"She's blind you idiot." Gojo answered for me.
"Because of you pesky sorcerers."

I spun around on the stairs so fast that my foot slid clean off the concrete and I started to fall down them. My master was quick as I was back on my feet before I could hit the ground.

"Kuna?"

"I'm sorry, he just says things sometimes." It wasn't Sukuna's voice anymore and my eyebrows furrowed before my shoulders dropped. I dejectedly started trying to finish climbing the stairs.

"You're about to meet with the principal. Screw it up, and he'll reject your admission." Gojo told Itadori.

"And what then? Immediate execution!" I flinched at Itadori's louder than usual voice.
"Oi. Stop yelling, brat."

A loud smack was heard again. I reached out towards where I heard the voice come from. My icy fingers made contact with warm skin. There was a yelp and my wrist was seized. A familiar panic settles over me.

"I-I'm sor-ry! I-I d-didn't m-mean to! I-I'm so sorry! I'm sorr-y!" My breathing picked up with my frantic whisper yelling of apologies.

Gods, he's going to beat me senseless. I touched Sukuna's vessel! What if they get the wrong idea? They'll chain me down and cut off all my fingers. Then they'll have my Master punish me, and I can't even begin to think of what that will be. He's always been so kind to me, I'm so sorry.

"(Y/n)-Chan. It's okay, breathe like we talked about. Itadori, let go of her hand." I sunk slowly to my knees, unable to hold myself up.

"I'm sorry." I whispered it over and over with my hands clasped as I was begging for forgiveness.

"(Y/n)." My whispering stopped. "We've talked about this, you know I'm not going to hurt you. It's okay."

"It's not okay! What have you people done to her?" I could hear Sukuna's voice, it wasn't far and it was the only thing that was comforting. Gojo ignored him and helped me stand up.

We walked in silence after that to the doors of the building.

"Mas-master? May-May I pl-please w-wait out-out-side?" My grip was tight on his sleeve as we stopped walking, I assumed we reached the doors.

"Go ahead." I released my grip on his coat and sighed in relief as I heard the two of them go inside.

I heard some crashing noises from inside. I stood frozen at the door, unaware of what was happening inside and of what was happening outside.
