16 | Special Grade Cursed Spirit

The volcano's head suddenly summoned a volcanic peak on the wall where (Name) and Gojo are. (Name) hugged Gojo tightly as it blasted with lava...

     "What a shame. They were nothing much, I also killed the Schoenheit even though Geto told me not to," Jogo stated. Then he noticed two silhouettes from the ash, "What?"

     "Who's... Nothing much?" Gojo asked as he protected both (Name) and him from the explosion. "You have the guts to eliminate such an ethereal beauty as her, it would be a shame that she'll be crisped to death, right?" He added.

     "We're alive?" (Name) asked as she landed on her feet. "What happened?"

     "Darn brats..." Jogo cursed under his breath as he fixed the thing that covers his ears.

     'It's a Cursed Spirit, but it can communicate well. On top of that, this cursed energy... There's no doubt this is a Special Grade Cursed Spirit that isn't registered. It's probably stronger than Sukuna's current strength.' Gojo thought as he held (Name) tightly. "Special Grade is called so because it's special. Even I would be in a fix if you just came at me like that."

     Jogo grinned, "Is your pride hurt?"

     "No," Gojo placed (Name) on the ground. He cracked his knuckles, "I'm just starting to have fun." He grinned as well.

     "I'll just get somewhere safe," (Name) said as she jumped on a faraway place she couldn't get hit from their battle. 'Gojo-san, you fool! Why didn't you just left me with Mister Ijchi?!'

     "You're starting to have fun, right? You have no sense of crisis." Jogo remarked.

     'He purposely attacked when no one's around,' (Name) thought as she watched them. Ah, I think that's a no... It's to prevent other sorcerers from coming to help... But Gojo-san doesn't look like he need help from other sorcerers, he's fine alone.'

Ember Insects!

     A lot of purple bugs started to attack Gojo, "But if you're targeting me, you're right about having no sense of crisis." He stated as he stopped the ember insects to attack him and it made such huge air impact from the looks of the ground, "What will happen if this hits me?" He asked. 'Wait... The sounds...'

     (Name) widened her eyes as she could hear the sounds coming from it, "Gojo-san!" She yelled and at the same time, the Ember insects exploded.

     Gojo seemed to avoid it from jumping before the explosions occurred, he patted (Name)'s head, "I'm fine, (Name)-chan! This is just a two-stage attack using sound and explosion. That's clever of this Special Grade Cursed Spirit!"

What he did unexpectedly, he pushed (Name) from where she was sitting and she hit an invisible barrier. She didn't hit the ground to be exact, she looked at Gojo, who is now getting beaten by the Special Grade Cursed Spirit...

     Jogo burned Gojo's head, "It's not over yet!" He yelled as he punched Gojo's back and blasted him with a purple-like attack.

     "Gojo-san!" (Name) called.

     "Is that all?" Jogo asked. "To put it bluntly, you're overly acclaimed by the weak. Humans nowadays are fake. They live in falsehood, the ugliness of it makes me sick!" He wiped his hand and started to walk towards (Name). "Let his death prove the real strength and truth, while you're coming with me."

     "Don't come near me, I'm warning you!" (Name) demanded as she backed away from this monster. But to their surprise, (Name) was taken by a weird force and she went where was Gojo stood before he was crisped to "death". "What?"

     "Didn't you... Said that just now?" It turns out that Gojo wasn't hurt at all. "You even tried to scare (Name)-chan..."

     "What?" Jogo looked to see Gojo holding (Name)'s body, even she was surprised that he was unscathed regardless of how large the cursed energy Jogo released.

     "Why don't you learn? All the ashes..." He coughed. "You alright, (Name)-chan? Do you need a hand-pressed smoothie later? It's my treat!"

     "Can you please focus on your fight before flirting with me? I'm scared because of your actions, one day, you'll be the reason why I am dead, Gojo-san," (Name) stated as she punched his chest. "You stupid! You jerk! You bastard!"

     "What's going on?" Jogo asked.

     Gojo looked at Jogo, "Well... In short, you missed."

     "Impossible. It's different from the one before!" Jogo didn't believe what Gojo had said. "I did touch and kill you!"

     "What you touched is the Infinity between you and me," Gojo raised his right hand.

     "What?"

     "Let me show you," Gojo offered. "Give me your hand. Come on, come on. Come on, come on, come on~." He said as he waved his right hand.

     'There's no intention to kill. Maybe I'll test him out,' Jogo thought as he slowly went to Gojo. He widened his eye (he only had one eye) as he tried to reach Gojo's hand.

     "You see?"

     'I can't touch him. My hand stopped in between,' he mentally said. 'Is this infinity?'

     "You didn't stop. Instead, your movements got slower as you got closer to me," Gojo explained as he smiled at the Cursed Spirit as if he didn't do anything wrong. "What do you think? I can shake hands with you like this.

     "I refuse!"

     "Don't be shy. I'll be embarrassed, too," Gojo told him while he fully touched the hand of the Cursed Spirit. "If you please, (Name)-chan, can you go to the lake for the moment? I'll pick you there, okay?"

(Name) looked at Gojo, who was merely smiling. She doesn't like this feeling at all, she only survived a Special Grade Cursed Spirit since Nanami was there with her. She wasn't sure if she'll be safe if she's away from Gojo...

     "Trust me."

     "Okay..."

     "Where are my heels?" (Name) asked as she searched her wardrobe. "Yuuji-kun isn't the type to steal my heels, so it only means..." (*pic above is the reference)

She went to the room where Gojo and Nanami were staying, without consent, she kicked the door open to see all of her heels scattered on the ground beneath Gojo and Nanami, some of it is even getting worn by the both of them...

     "So you've chosen death, huh?" (Name) asked as she raised her magical pen, ready to beat them.

     "Wait! (Name)-chan! We could talk about this, right?!"

     "This is all your fault, Gojo."

     "Jerk, too late!"
