"Wait, really, I'm just fine!" Itadori replied, raising his arms. "More importantly, you and I are both pretty beat up." The markings over his body slowly dissipated.
"Let's get to a hospital."
You glanced at Megumi who wasn't letting up. With a sigh, you used your foot to knock him to the ground, cancelling his focus. The shadows dropped."What are you doing, Y/n-senpai?!" He exclaimed. You shrugged.
"Yuji suppressed him for right now," you replied, "No need to act rash about things." Megumi was about to retort, but another voice cut through the conversation.
"What's the situation?"
You felt a pressure against your shoulder. You didn't need to turn to know Satoru was leaning against you."Gojo-sensei?! Why are you here?" Megumi exclaimed in shock.
"Hey." Satoru raised his hand in greeting, his usual smile coming up to his face. "I wasn't planning on coming, but man, you're roughed up." Satoru leaned forward to get a closer look at Megumi.
"I should show the second-years." He brought out his phone and snapped several(dozen) photos of Megumi. "Face this way." You let out a sigh at his usual antics.
"The higher-ups wouldn't shut up with a special-grade cursed object gone missing. So I stopped by while doing some sightseeing. So, did you find it?"
"Yeah, we found it," you replied, shifting on your feet.
"Great! Where is it?"
"Um..." Itadori sheepishly raised his hand. "Sorry, but I ate it." There was a beat of awkward silence.
"For real?"
"For real."
Satoru put his phone away before stepping up to Itadori, inspecting him. I can feel him. That's gross. Not like that. He doesn't know I'm here though. Are you purposely suppressing me? As much as I physically can. What? You scared of a little human sorcerer? Are you?"Y/n," you heard Satoru call. "Protect Megumi if anything goes haywire." You quickly processed what was happening.
"Alright." You looked at Itadori and noticed the markings return to his body. He switched. Like lightning, Sukuna jumped into the air, behind where Satoru was talking.
"Behind you!" Megumi exclaimed. Sukuna came crashing down. You moved quicker than that, able to see the curse come down in slow mo, as well as Satoru begin to move as well. You stepped in front of Megumi. Then, like a blast going off, everything resumed. Sukuna came crashing down with a giant bang, smoke and dust exploding into the air towards you. Through the shockwave and dust, you noticed four glowing eyes glaring up at you.
"Y/n-senpai!" Megumi exclaimed in shock. Sitting on his lower back was Satoru. Getting increasingly irriated, Sukuna tried to swing him off, but Satoru moved before that. Sukuna came at him with only physical blows. Idiot, you'll never get him like that. You watched as Satoru whizzed in and out of vision, but you never lost track of his cursed energy presence. But Satoru was merely evading. When he decided to hit back, he landed two decisive blows on Sukuna. Still think you can't keep up? That's only one finger out of twenty. Just say you think you're weaker than Gojo and move on. Don't make me lock you in my domain. Tch. When you noticed Sukuna come at Satoru with a ball of cursed energy, you quickly grabbed Megumi.
"Gotta move!"
"HUH?! WA-WAIT!"
You scooped him up into your arms and moved to the higher roof before the blast of energy completely demolished the side of the school building. You laid Megumi down and watched. You could see Sukuna switch--probably against his will. The markings also vanished as well. You could hear their voices travel all the way up from where you were."Y/n-senpai," you heard Megumi call.
"Mm?"
"How did you do that?"
"Do what?"
"Move faster than both Gojo-sensei and Sukuna."
He noticed? Keen eyes. You shrugged, placing your hands back in your pockets."Who knows." You watched Satoru tap his Itadori's forehead with his two fingers. Itadori was knocked out.
"Why did you knock him out?" You called down.
"If he isn't possessed by Sukuna when he wakes up, he might have potential as a vessel!" He replied back up. "Now, I have a question for you. What should we do with him?" You stood on the ledge and shrugged.
"Doesn't really matter. The higher-ups will hear about it--and will order his execution. However, I don't necessarily want him to be killed," you replied.
"Your personal feelings?" He asked.
"Not mine, but do something about it."
Satoru hauled Itadori over his shoulder and gave you a thumbs up, smiling."Leave it to me!"
~
You let out a sigh, stepping out of the office. After two hours of interrogation from the higher-ups, you needed a goddamn break. Walking down the hallway, the surroundings around you seemed to skip and glitch. Next thing you know, you're in a dimly lit-room covered in talismen."Eh?! Y/n-san!" Itadori exclaimed suddenly as your presence.
"So? Did you explain everything to him?" You asked.
"Yep." Satoru stood up from the chair. "I'm sure the higher-ups gave you a hell of a time." You let out a sigh and replaced him in the chair.
"Two hours of nonstop questioning. I didn't realize third-years had as much responsibilities as teachers." You let your head hang over the back of it. Satoru only smiled widely.
"Well, you're not really the average third year," he said cheekily. You glanced at him from the corner of your eyes. Let me talk to him. You shrugged.
"Are any of us average?" You spun around in your chair and looked at Itadori. Come on. Just for a minute. I can sense him. If we make him switch, Sukuna would break out. We're not risking that. Tch. Satoru grinned from next to you.
"You're suppressing her, aren't you?" He asked.
"Huh? Suppressing who?" Itadori perked up.
"What other choice do I have?" You replied.
"Well." Satoru shrugged. "Itadori agreed to find and eat all of Sukuna's fingers." You hummed.
"And then he'll die?"
"Probably."
Ja ne!
